Transcript
- 0:04What's up, y'all, and welcome back to Danny to talk.
- 0:08I'm your host, Robert. And today today, I just want to
- 0:12chill. I just want to rock.
- 0:15I just want a Vibe. It's been a minute.
- 0:20It's been a little minute at least, by my standards, you
- 0:24know, since I've done one of these but, you know, we don't
- 0:31kind of talk. Kind of catch-all up to a bit of
- 0:34what I've been into and doing and places.
- 0:38I've gone. And the last, I guess, like a
- 0:42month and a half or so roughly since I've done like a normal
- 0:46Pockets episode, but before I get to that, as always, if this
- 0:52is your first time here than welcome, but if you're returning
- 0:55listener and or Watcher then, welcome back.
- 0:58Yeah, I know here at Danny's to talk, it's all about fatherhood
- 1:00and family. Manga anime and some video
- 1:05games. So like I said it is been a
- 1:09minute. I I had attempted to record
- 1:16something a few weeks ago which involved me kind of Venting a
- 1:24lot. Maybe a slight rant.
- 1:26I don't know, but I'll be S and my laptop.
- 1:34Conspired against me and decided I you know what, Robert maybe
- 1:38that's too much for the internet to here right now.
- 1:40So we're just going to only save 30 minutes of an hour and a half
- 1:47that you did of talking. So that happening was a very
- 1:52defeating. So I just let it go and I just
- 1:56kind of just walked away because you know, I had already been
- 1:59gone for a little while at that point, they when that happened,
- 2:02it was just like, yeah. Yeah, that's let's just let me
- 2:06just continue just being a being a normal civilian.
- 2:10So I hope everybody out there that is listening has been doing
- 2:16well, I hope life is treating you good.
- 2:19I hope y'all have been treating ourselves to some nice treats.
- 2:22I hope y'all have been living life to the best that you can
- 2:26and pushing forward as we are in freaking March of 2023.
- 2:30What the heck is very March, what happened to time, so I
- 2:39don't even know where to start. With everything.
- 2:44It just like so many different routes and stuff I guess, kind
- 2:48of like speaking in general. And of course I'm not going to
- 2:54adapt to different to this whatever but like Several weeks
- 2:58back now. Just between how busy my life
- 3:04has been. And then there are some stuff
- 3:09that happened online not involving me just, you know,
- 3:12stuff going on online on Twitter and stuff, whatever that kind of
- 3:17gave me. I feel like maybe, like some
- 3:20anxiety about some stuff and it kind of made me like, like, put
- 3:25into perspective, a couple of things, one of which being maybe
- 3:31I am, To plugged in to the internet and stuff, whatever
- 3:38doing too much grown on Twitter and different things.
- 3:44Because I feel like at the end of the day, you know, of course,
- 3:50it is good to be informed on obviously things going on in the
- 3:54world things that are going on with these different mediums
- 3:58that stuff that we consume, you know, whether it be no TV shows,
- 4:04manga anime gaming, whatever stuff Sports, whatever, but
- 4:10sometimes it can be too much, too overwhelming.
- 4:15And then it's kind of like Like, you get to a point where it's
- 4:19like, okay am I doing this? Because I want to do this, or am
- 4:23I making this choice because you know, millions millions of
- 4:26people or maybe thousands hundreds, you know, sometimes
- 4:28it's a, it's a loud minority. But because I am just seeing
- 4:33your hand people saying, hey, you should not be doing this, so
- 4:36yes, do that. And so it kind of just made me
- 4:40just like take a step back and think like man, hold on.
- 4:44This is Danny's to talk. I am here to talk about the
- 4:47things that I am enjoying or just things that you want to
- 4:52just talk about in general. And so I was like, if I am not
- 4:56doing that then am I really being myself?
- 4:58I'm already being authentic and true to the reasoning of me
- 5:03starting this and so I just kind of made a decision of like,
- 5:07okay, I'm just going to just stay away from social media for
- 5:12a bit or at least likely And, you know, I have in the last
- 5:15couple of weeks. I started back, you know,
- 5:19interacting and stuff, whatever, but I'm definitely not on there
- 5:22specifically Twitter as much as I was on a normal day to day
- 5:27basis. So so I've kind of fallen out of
- 5:30the loop on certain news feeds and like new releases of manga
- 5:36and different stuff, whatever update some stuff that's coming.
- 5:39And that's fine, you know, because I've kind of, you know,
- 5:44like she just kind of like just like thinking back of like man.
- 5:47Man. It was kind of nice even before
- 5:50I was doing all this stuff of just watching what I want to
- 5:54watch reading, what I want to read playing, what I want to
- 5:57play, because I want to do it, not to make a review or content
- 6:02or whatever it just not. Hey, I feel like doing this,
- 6:05whatever. I'm going to do it and cool.
- 6:11So, yeah, so, so that, that just kind of like a little bit more
- 6:13context that some people might like me, I haven't even seen you
- 6:15on, you know, I haven't even saying rob on Twitter or Of like
- 6:18they whatever and that that is why like I said just too much
- 6:22stuff too much noise, you know, and on the time - tough whatever
- 6:30side I kind of take a step back and it is definitely been for
- 6:33the better now other stuff. So The sports stuff is been the
- 6:41biggest thing probably on top of us.
- 6:45You know, y'all know, probably the last time I did like a
- 6:49normal episode, I had mentioned that we were done with the car
- 6:54situation of no. Just for a little bit of recap
- 6:56day after Christmas. At the end of last year,
- 6:59somebody hit my wife's car when she was heading home or
- 7:03whatever. And then, we were kind of down a
- 7:06car for a literally 50 days. I counted.
- 7:09Three days, we didn't have a car, they wouldn't get us rent,
- 7:11or nothing, or whatever. But finally, a few weeks ago
- 7:15where we finally got a rental and stuff whatever.
- 7:17So we kind of like to get back into some type of like normalcy
- 7:19because That was tough. Because with this being down to
- 7:24one car, it led to my wife having having to Uber into
- 7:30taking a lubbers and stuff to work, and then I had to do
- 7:34majority of the stuff with the kids to where it was.
- 7:36Okay, I had to go into work a little bit later because I had
- 7:39to get everybody to school. And then certain days, I had a
- 7:43still leave kind of early to go pick up people that need need to
- 7:46get picked up, taking people to practices and edited.
- 7:49Uh, so So yeah, it was just a lot, a lot, a lot in my mouth,
- 7:55my days and stuff. Whatever, was just a very
- 7:59tiring, even though I wasn't like stimuli not doing too much
- 8:04on paper but even just being in a car for those long stretches
- 8:08and just bouncing back and forth you know of okay ghetto get the
- 8:12kids to school drive 40, maybe 40 plus minutes to work.
- 8:18Do work come home or head back, you know, if I depend on the
- 8:22damn whatever, maybe I got to take my wife to work, if not
- 8:25then. Okay, I'm going to picking
- 8:26somebody up from something after school going at Vash from his
- 8:30after-school care thing, whatever my oil with my wife,
- 8:34then shooting somebody out, 20 minutes to practice, they're
- 8:39coming back to get my wife from work, then going back to pick
- 8:42them up after practice and maybe and whatever other stuff is
- 8:45going on in between all that. So it was I saw was very happy
- 8:49to finally get a car and we got one just in time because
- 8:52surprise we went to Memphis. My oldest boy.
- 8:58We got a basketball tournament and Memphis so it's very cool.
- 9:02My first time going out that way so I got to kind of do a little
- 9:07bit of an of adventuring and stuff.
- 9:09Whatever. We had some very good food along
- 9:12the way. Shout out to this place in
- 9:15Arkansas called albums, call it fat boy.
- 9:17Boys or something like that. Whatever mad that food was so
- 9:22good. So good.
- 9:23Like some barbecue, and just some real good Southern kind of
- 9:28cooking or whatever because my wife had ordered they have, they
- 9:32had like this me run. It was like a remember what it
- 9:35was called but basically it's kind of like a Pete, like a?
- 9:38No. No I'm not a pork chop exactly.
- 9:40What. Kind of kind of like a pork chop
- 9:41whatever. And so it was like do you want
- 9:44like a one serving or too? Well, I've never been there with
- 9:49our Reno, she ordered. Oh, give me the two or whatever
- 9:52because she's thinking of they can be kind of like small
- 9:53pieces. man then freaking pieces was like to of this just like
- 10:04just like a long thick because when they brought the plane
- 10:07down, I was like is is that what you ordered as so man we was we
- 10:15was honestly I was eating on the snack on that flag a couple of
- 10:17days and then might I have like a like a chopped brisket
- 10:23sandwich, whatever man they pack they put So much meat bad and it
- 10:28was just so good and tender there, like, like my bone was
- 10:31falling apart. All the me couldn't even fit on
- 10:34the bun. So it was like even after I ate
- 10:37the burger whatever. There's like a lot of meat I
- 10:39don't see enough me to maybe make a second Burger, but to
- 10:41kind of just it on the side. So that was really good.
- 10:45Then I came across very interesting, snack on was,
- 10:50speaking of snacks, we came across some and this is before
- 10:54we went to Memphis, whatever. Strawberry cream, dr.
- 10:59Pepper, and that has been a hit in the household between me and
- 11:03my wife because I saw somebody on Twitter talk about or
- 11:08whatever as I. Oh yeah.
- 11:09It's at Kroger, there's a Kroger literally around the corner from
- 11:12me. So I immediately went there
- 11:14after I said that post on Twitter and got a case, my wife
- 11:19destroyed it because I only got to drink like a couple out of
- 11:22the 12 case. And so she went and got another
- 11:24one. And so, and then We need to run
- 11:27it through that one too, so that was good.
- 11:30So strawberry cream, dr. Pepper.
- 11:32And then found this little gem that I honestly was not sure
- 11:37about. Now I don't know how many of
- 11:39y'all eat Bugle chips. I am a big fan of about the, the
- 11:42classic nacho cheese, flavor, whatever.
- 11:45Well, I found this, this was an Arkansas bugles.
- 11:50Cinnamon Toast, Crunch addition. All I don't know.
- 11:55This can go. Go one of two ways.
- 11:57It's going to be horrible horrendous or I can be
- 12:02surprisingly good. Luckily for me it was it was
- 12:07surprisingly. Good soshite are freaking
- 12:10Cinnamon Toast, Crunch bugles by.
- 12:13Yeah, so we went to Memphis Memphis that that it right that
- 12:20that whole situation was just kind of weird overall everything
- 12:24from the hotel, to the parking to some of the stuff at the at
- 12:29the sporting complex, whatever is Downtown, Memphis.
- 12:33It was all Oh, weird. So, hotel room.
- 12:38The whole team stayed at the same hotel for the most part,
- 12:42but small thing, but a big one. When you dinner with a big group
- 12:48of people who are have kids, whatever is that there was no
- 12:52public microwave that we know of anywhere in the hotel.
- 12:55There's, there's no microwave in the room, no microwave down like
- 12:58the kind of like Lounge kitchen area or whatever, so it just
- 13:02kind of sucks, hers? Okay, so we have some food that
- 13:05we ate and if we brought leftovers back from Eating or
- 13:08whatever, it just had to sit in the fridge or just sit out and
- 13:13we maybe finish it before I got too cold but otherwise, it just
- 13:17sat in the fridge and some stuff we had to just wait until we
- 13:19could bring it back home to heat it up.
- 13:21So that sucked, then the parking So the parking garage literally
- 13:27slide across the street or whatever so we just cool
- 13:31multi-store, whatever. But the elevator down work.
- 13:35So the first night so we get there at like 9:00 at night
- 13:38because we didn't know this whole ordeal, so we got the
- 13:41super lighter. Would I ever saw?
- 13:42No, I gotta go find out. I will using this garage.
- 13:45So, okay, cool. Go park and so, But of course,
- 13:51like I said, it's not a cock in nice, of course on a sponsor for
- 13:53whatever. So I had to go up to the sixth
- 13:54floor of the garage somehow, cool make note of are parked at
- 13:59or whatever. Messed around.
- 14:02I paid because when you get tired like the like the Wright,
- 14:06like walking are like where the garages whenever the elevators.
- 14:10I mean, it has like an utter lie.
- 14:12Hey scan this QR code so you can pay that it is death.
- 14:16I didn't know at the time that because we were at the hotel or
- 14:20the hotel has like special Knightly, right?
- 14:23So whenever so I'll just going off of original.
- 14:28What I saw on the website or there for the parking garage.
- 14:31Judge, because we got there at 9:00, they only had increments
- 14:38of like, single hours of 28 and then it's 24 hours after that.
- 14:44Well, Eight hours from 9:00 at night or whatever.
- 14:49That's like 5 a.m. Clearly, I'm not going to be
- 14:53leaving at 5:00 a.m. so I had to pay the 20, the the 24 hours
- 14:59which was like 30, something dollars 36 hours, or whatever
- 15:02crazy, they found out later was I don't know.
- 15:05It's freaking $20 $20 or 9, or whatever?
- 15:07Sound like great, but pay that or whatever.
- 15:12And then there's was there signs, like, Sorry For your
- 15:15inconvenience, all three elevators are out.
- 15:19So the whole weekend and we were there from Friday, They to
- 15:22Monday. So three days going on 4th.
- 15:25So three and a half days every time we left or came back,
- 15:29whatever. Up at no less than four flights
- 15:34of stairs. It was horrible.
- 15:37But luckily, like I said, luckily these holidays, even
- 15:39though I had to do that or whatever, I always have to just
- 15:42pull the car around to the front and we can know logo, lot of
- 15:45luggage, or it get out luggage, or whatever bags, or whatever,
- 15:50drop everybody off at the door and then I go park and walk
- 15:53myself. So, yeah, so that was a parking
- 15:59situation, wherever. And yeah it sounds so overall
- 16:06for. So for the tournament or
- 16:08whatever they ended up, I think getting maybe a third or fourth
- 16:11place out of camera because they ended up going to 42.
- 16:14Because that, that the first day, those first two games were
- 16:16kind of weird. Just they just wasn't kids
- 16:19wasn't like, vibing and matching like, they normally was
- 16:21whatever. So, but you know, but, you know,
- 16:24overall, we got to see a lot of really good teams.
- 16:26A lot of interest things from all over primarily.
- 16:29I like, I like from like the East Coasters, because there's
- 16:31some teams for of Course from Tennessee, New York Idaho,
- 16:37Florida, and places like that, and stuff.
- 16:40So it's kind of dark to see just even more variety of town and
- 16:45stuff from these different places.
- 16:50There was a 14 year old, who is taller than me and I'm about 62.
- 16:53So this kid was literally about like 64 65 and stuff.
- 17:00So widget would you order is crazy?
- 17:02The I saw a kid with a with a true blue mullet they may be one
- 17:08of the Tennessee teams or someone.
- 17:09I don't know. Some some country team whatever.
- 17:11So that was kind of funny. But yeah, so we went down there
- 17:15and did that or whatever. All and we drove about the way
- 17:17or whatever. So went there they came back but
- 17:21like I said, the tournament went into Monday.
- 17:24So luckily, there Monday was a holiday or whatever.
- 17:27But it's like, we went, we came back and then it was okay,
- 17:32Tuesday. Here by going to school work.
- 17:33That it is just chaos. And so, yeah.
- 17:40And then I thought we were for that the middle school
- 17:43basketball season ended. I think my son's team, I think
- 17:48they ended up finishing, maybe third in the different District,
- 17:52I think, whatever. And then my daughter's team, I
- 17:55think they finished second or third since like that, whatever.
- 17:59So, overall pretty solid for the First Years playing for the
- 18:03school and stuff. And so, yeah.
- 18:08And so now we have transitioned to track season that started,
- 18:12which was this week was insane. So, kids have their first track
- 18:17meet this week and stuff, so which, which went fantastically
- 18:25for the kids, wherever they all went through, they are dominance
- 18:28all three of my older ones or do a track.
- 18:31So, both my girls and my son went from basketball him.
- 18:34A lot of his teammates, they went over the track.
- 18:38And stuff. So, so he's doing the 200 meter
- 18:42and the he also did the thing about thing.
- 18:45Both the one and two hundred relay races or whatever my
- 18:53daughter, the does basketball. She did also the 200 meter race
- 18:58and relay, and then my daughter, that's been running track.
- 19:03All these years. She did it.
- 19:05She did the 24. 100, which is a mile and a half.
- 19:09And then the 1600, which is a mile and she got first and both
- 19:14of those on my daughter. Her and her team's got first,
- 19:18both of those, my son, he got first.
- 19:21There the relay team for the boys got first and now thinking
- 19:25his individual rest of the, he got second or third, I can't
- 19:27remember. He has some stuff to learn about
- 19:31stuff with track because Because he started slowing down before
- 19:40he actually crossed the line and it's like no you don't slow down
- 19:44until you're already through the line or whatever.
- 19:46So because he's kind of like naked naked.
- 19:48Somebody he started letting up too early and stuff whatever.
- 19:51So but it is what it is. Like I said this is first time I
- 19:53really like doing it competitively, whatever.
- 19:56So. But but yeah my mama Donna does
- 20:00the distance Runner. She did a thing though.
- 20:03That's what she got for One place she is 10 seconds behind
- 20:09sitting, the school record which she is going to blow away easily
- 20:13because her personal best that she's done.
- 20:17You know before she has Middle School, whatever was already
- 20:20better than the school's record. So it's just a matter of time
- 20:24but she doesn't do it next week, probably before the season's
- 20:29over by daughter will have the school record for the for the
- 20:34mouth. Time whatever.
- 20:35So cuz she was talking to my wife about it earlier today,
- 20:39whatever because they got there, they finding out the ribbons
- 20:42today and they got their times and stuff.
- 20:45And so yeah, when she found out that she was 10 seconds from the
- 20:47school record but then my wife is not white, but what is your
- 20:50personal best in my with my mom and my daughter said and she and
- 20:53my wife is oh yeah that's that's already under you know, the
- 20:57school's record or whatever. So I'll be looking forward to
- 21:01seeing that, you know, had have a her name it Act in the school
- 21:05record books. When was she achieves that in
- 21:08the in the coming weeks and stuff?
- 21:10So, but yeah, so trick Seasons good My sons, are you basketball

- 23:03itself, whatever. We was all out there and t-shirt
- 23:06and shorts because there's like 80 degrees other than the day

- 24:05Practice, I to go get him from that, then come back home.
- 24:10Then he had a basketball game. He's supposed to have practice
- 24:13with his Summit team but because of how the timing worked out
- 24:19with the game, he had later on and then him having that perhaps
- 24:25school practice, whatever. I'm like, okay, we've something
- 24:27had to be sacrificed. We had to skip the shooting
- 24:29practice thing. Had a game with the team that
- 24:33he's he started on when he was 7 years old, which I've talked
- 24:38about before they were, but I'll say it again.

- 24:49lot of these boys when they were, like, six, seven, eight
- 24:53years old, or whatever, and the core group of them, raise them
- 24:58up and they put together for several years.
- 25:00Whatever. Like I said, we're seven eight
- 25:01years away now, whatever. And they are really put together
- 25:06very often, but every time they come together, some random
- 25:11person who doesn't know the situation of the team, whatever
- 25:13you would think that this is a team that practices and place
- 25:17together all Every week, really, what?
- 25:20Everybody's, I know. This is just a team that gets
- 25:23summoned like The Avengers they come together.
- 25:26No, beats, lost, whatever. We got their life, right?
- 25:30Like a little bit right before they can buy the store whenever
- 25:33and wherever there. But they just walk on the core
- 25:36or walk but they stuff down whatever walk on the card, jump
- 25:39ball business as usual, whatever like like no time, Miss whatever
- 25:44it likes it. This is the same team.
- 25:47That they're put together for like two years almost because of
- 25:51the pandemic and stuff or whatever covid and they came
- 25:54back together and they paid a whole season and went undefeated
- 25:57with no practice has literally no practices.
- 26:00It was just like hey all right this this day on the weekend or
- 26:04whatever is when we have our games be there everybody meets
- 26:07up crush the other team. No competition.
- 26:10See you next week so I learned like I said, just just how
- 26:15ingrained And those lessons and stuff, that chemistry, that that
- 26:19core group of kids have because, you know, there have been other
- 26:23kids. And so there's been added to the
- 26:24team since then, but that Core group that looks at started,
- 26:28when my son was seven, You know, don't miss a beat or whatever.
- 26:32So Bombay, so we had a game they wanted or whatever and so then
- 26:38my wife had came, got them, maybe like run, like halftime,
- 26:43or so, whatever, with my daughter, the basketball
- 26:45daughter. And so then we switched and then
- 26:49she took him home after the game.
- 26:51And I took my daughter, she had a late night practice from 8 to
- 26:559. So yeah, and then we know the
- 27:00practice. Whatever.
- 27:01Home a little before 10:00 and then went to bed.
- 27:06And then they'll work again today or whatever.
- 27:08And now you know God got my wife and son, they got they got on
- 27:12the road to Houston and stuff whatever.
- 27:14So yeah. Like I said that's just a couple
- 27:18of days as we could ever that. That's kind of like the normal
- 27:20Cadence of, you know, for anybody that might be curious of
- 27:25like like okay, like Robert where's my kind of like your
- 27:27daily schedule, whatever. It is kind of a mix of that
- 27:30fuel? Like I said, getting up, super
- 27:31early to go to work so that I can get off.
- 27:34Are they enough to be able to handle the Earth, the
- 27:38after-school stuff? Because my wife works during
- 27:42that time for actually works from her like one to wish to
- 27:47like six and that's kind of went okay.
- 27:49Kids me be picked up or take that taking the cert to, like,
- 27:52the earlier practices or games or whatever.
- 27:55So yeah, it's a lot of time. Lot of commitment is stuff,
- 27:59whatever. Like I said, that is man.
- 28:01Any the older three that are doing sports whatever it's like
- 28:05my middle son, he's not doing much right now and then bash you
- 28:09know, he's not doing it because he's just not old enough yet but
- 28:12he's five so by the end of this year, whatever he going to be
- 28:16sick, so he might be out there doing something whatever to so,
- 28:19but but yeah. So so that's kind of been my
- 28:22life in a nutshell, more or less some like say we kind of got
- 28:26stuff back rolling with the car stuff.
- 28:28Whatever. Other life stuff kind of finally
- 28:34fell started falling back into place whatever.
- 28:37So you know I am still doing at least like maybe once if not
- 28:43twice a week, my plasma donations and stuff whatever
- 28:46which has been, you know, now I'm happy to be doing them
- 28:51because I wanted to do them. Not out of necessity.
- 28:54For survival of like, man, I need these few extra bucks just
- 28:57for us to make it and it's like no, you know, life and stuff.
- 29:00And work is kind of been good to us lately.
- 29:05Whatever we kind of got back above heads, above water
- 29:08whatever. So it's okay I can still donate
- 29:10plasma if I want to not just be just extra money, I can use for
- 29:14other stuff, whatever. As need be, which shout out to
- 29:18the young lady at the plasma center because the last week I
- 29:25have a ask me about my podcast shirt, and she actually asked me
- 29:30about Whoever solves our well, if you curious, I gave it a
- 29:33spill and she said, she would check it out.
- 29:35So if you are listening to whatever, they shout out to you,
- 29:38you know who you are. But, but yeah, so that's kind of
- 29:43what's been going on. LifeWise with me.
- 29:47That's, that's last month and a half or so.
- 29:51It's like just little little little traveling on the road,
- 29:55lots of practices and stuff forever always on the go.
- 30:00But, you know, if I came back to a place where I can, you know,
- 30:03be stable and in comfort, and then, and mentally, and pretty,
- 30:08and peace financially, I guess it's better to put it wherever,
- 30:11so and I've been able to find it, but I like to treat myself
- 30:13to a distance of two, a few things wherever she, what was
- 30:19that? Were like the main things I can
- 30:21remember now, oh, derp. I'm looking at it.
- 30:28So, So I got this really nice. I believe it's a 34-inch.
- 30:36Dale curved monitor back in January.
- 30:40There's a there's a place in the mall out here.
- 30:45Northeast Mall that has a lot of products that some of them might
- 30:53be used whatever or just stuff that's there, may be new, but
- 30:56maybe got the boxes got damaged or whatever.
- 30:59So they can't Still it for four parts, whatever.
- 31:01Well, I got this lovely. 34 inch curved monitor for under $300.
- 31:09So are they normally original when they came out?
- 31:11They were they were well over a grand when they came out.
- 31:13So but they did to my brother like 500 plus by.
- 31:16So I got this nice screen and that I'm on.
- 31:20Now, whatever, I treated myself to some, some new shoes, some
- 31:25lovely, black, and white pumas that I love.
- 31:32And what else? Oh, this whoops, this black
- 31:39panther purple and black beanie cap because this is something I
- 31:43saw back when the movie was out or whatever and Hot Topic head
- 31:48like a little A little section of, for whatever but I didn't,
- 31:54you know, I was, I was denying myself to bite or ever, but it
- 31:58all worked out because now it's the last one they had in the
- 32:00store and it was marked down on sale already and then they take
- 32:05an additional percentage off. And I had like a little five
- 32:07dollar birthday coupon because it was my birthday month in
- 32:10January. So, I got it for, like seven
- 32:13bucks so I'm like, hey, I'll take it.
- 32:17But, but yes, I've been doing that and of course, and Guy in
- 32:22really, really, really deep back into some gaming, which I'm a
- 32:25touch on in a little bit or whatever.
- 32:28Because that has been a very pleasant surprise.
- 32:30I have kind of gone back into listening, a gaming podcast.
- 32:39I'll listen to whatever called sacred symbols dissipation,
- 32:42PlayStation podcast and the host is somebody that I've followed
- 32:47for like probably like, well, over a decade, there is other
- 32:50endeavors. And stuff for their arrest.
- 32:52So it's kind of been cool getting re-familiarize with this
- 32:57work and catching up on stuff that he's done over the last few
- 33:00years since I've got to listen to this stuff forever.
- 33:03So that's been really dope. Listen to that along with a lot
- 33:07of the gaming stuff, which let's go ahead and dive into a little
- 33:10bit of whatever. So, so in this time, whatever
- 33:16Sony has had a PlayStation direct Nintendo's had a
- 33:19Nintendo, Direct X boxes Xbox showcase thing or whatever.
- 33:23So this is going to be kind of like a brief kind of like news
- 33:29ish / talking about what I've been playing section or
- 33:33whatever. So and there's always, you know,
- 33:36I might have time stamps for someone so forever but might be
- 33:39the doorway to been a like, say I'm talking about this stuff.
- 33:42So first off, I'm gonna start with Xbox.
- 33:45So what they did with their development developer, direct
- 33:48scientific and tongue-tied that show Vlad allegations are either
- 33:53half coming out or whatever, which I'll just kind of mention
- 33:55some of the dash real quick before I get to the game.
- 33:57I actually played so Minecraft Legends is coming out on April.
- 34:0418th, red fall is coming out on May 2nd Forza.
- 34:10The new Forza game. Just has a journal 2023 date and
- 34:14then the new Elder Scrolls. Online expansion is coming at
- 34:16June 20th. Now, the highlight of the show
- 34:19which was a shadow drop, is a little game called high-five
- 34:23Rush that has been so cool. And so dope that.
- 34:30That. It was just a really it was just
- 34:34really unexpected surprise, because this game is made by the
- 34:38same team who does The Evil Within series.
- 34:42And so, it's this very colorful, very bribe vibrant looking game.
- 34:48And honestly for those ya'll watching the video version of
- 34:52the episode of the podcast, whatever like everybody in my
- 34:55house like my wife or kids who walk by our everyday.
- 34:57There was a low. What show are you watching is
- 34:59like no I'm this is a game people in my My house.
- 35:02Legit thought there? I was that I was watching a show
- 35:08but it's like no this is a freaking video game.
- 35:12And so the cool thing about it is that is that it's best to
- 35:20kind of kind of like a kind of like a action rhythm game is the
- 35:26best I can to kind of describe it or whatever to wear
- 35:29everything in the game. Everything in the world is on a
- 35:32beat on a rhythm and you will see like like enemies or just
- 35:36stuff in the environment is like just bouncing just grooving or
- 35:40whatever and you kind of like are fighting to the music.
- 35:43And so what I love about like with the combat itself whatever
- 35:46is that it's pretty straightforward, you can just
- 35:48kind of like button Master, a lot of stuff, whatever and still
- 35:51make damage. But you get Or are you get bonus
- 35:57damage? I'll stuff if you hit an enemy
- 36:00on the beat of the music and stuff whatever.
- 36:02So it's just like this really nice little rhythm and flow to
- 36:05do whatever. I'm a game of all people
- 36:07compared to this kind of like at least like visually and the vibe
- 36:10is a sunset overdrive which came out over just like that.
- 36:13I'm like the launch of the Xbox one back in the day but by is a
- 36:17half hour Rush was a very nice surprise.
- 36:22I haven't been a year, but I got pretty deep into it I think I'm
- 36:26like I'm close to the end I think I'm like on chapter 10 of
- 36:3012 chapters, so bad half hour rush it has lot of personality
- 36:35and stuff, whatever really good music and stuff.
- 36:37So definitely check it out. Its on Xbox game pass and I
- 36:42think PCC campuses World by know for sure Xbox.
- 36:45So if you have an Xbox and you have game pass, this is a fun
- 36:48game to play. So let me see.
- 36:55So next up, so the PlayStation showcase, whatever they really
- 37:00show, nothing that was too much consequence to me, whatever.
- 37:03Like like that showed a new trailer for because Destiny to
- 37:06life. All just came out of the new
- 37:07expansion. I'm thinking about diving back
- 37:10into Destiny. Even if it's just a dip my toe
- 37:12in because man, I came across those are like and like a
- 37:16developer diary thing whatever on Twitter the other day where
- 37:20they were, it was like an eight minute long thing where it's
- 37:23like talking about the Music for the new expansion forever and
- 37:27just like hearing the music, whatever.
- 37:28And that is something there. Now, I never really got to play
- 37:33too much of bungees original series or previously is that
- 37:37they develop, of course, which is high and low.
- 37:40But one thing I know about Halo and, of course, with Destiny is
- 37:45that they're both known for like, really solid at fun
- 37:47gameplay. But also the music and back when
- 37:53I was heavy and too, Destiny. Every time I knew expansion came
- 37:57out and it down a little whatever, and I'm pretty sure a
- 38:00lot of us. Did I just let the game just sit
- 38:03on the title screen just hearing the new theme music.
- 38:08It's just always so good. And so, here's some of the music
- 38:12they have for life. All I was like, man, I'm
- 38:14probably not going to ever get like super deep into it or
- 38:16whatever, but I am fortunate enough right now to have a
- 38:19little bit of like some some disposable pack of change,
- 38:22whatever. So my you Know what maybe I'll
- 38:25treat myself to forget expansion or whatever, just to get like a
- 38:30little bit of just back into their or whatever because I
- 38:33haven't played out of the extensions in like a good year,
- 38:36maybe two, I don't know. God, because I miss all of us.
- 38:40I think the last one was like the witch queen or whatever.
- 38:42That's all of that or whatever. And so it is what it is, but,
- 38:46but, but this new one, this song, Light fall is looking
- 38:54looking really, really nice and stuff.
- 38:59So because Kyle of all, I like the vibrant and the neon looking
- 39:05stuff, or whatever of the game just looks really cool.
- 39:07So but But so so Destiny to live for.
- 39:14Let me see that. They sure like a 15 minute Gap.
- 39:17A thing for for the new Suicide Squad kill the Justice League.
- 39:21I don't know there's like There's parts of it that look
- 39:27like, okay, I'm seeing some hands of the Arkham stuff in
- 39:30there, whatever, but there's some partials, I'm like, I don't
- 39:33know. That kind of like these, like,
- 39:34for this trailer whatever they lean, too heavily on like, the,
- 39:37The Coop, and the shooting, and that it had or whatever.
- 39:40But I like to like the Traverse of the city, dump, whatever.
- 39:45Especially, I Captain Boomerang so he's like, throwing his
- 39:47boomerang and using that to teleport around and stuff
- 39:49forever, but anywho. So I don't know, I might still
- 39:53give it a shot when it comes out.
- 39:56But yeah, I'm just don't think, I think they showed us a new
- 39:59someone who catches for Street Fighter, six, some other stuff,
- 40:03got some dates or whatever, but yeah, nothing really too much.
- 40:08I don't hear that. I can that I'm excited about
- 40:11your even talk about whatever cell.
- 40:13I was a shout-out to the PlayStation VR to hasn't came
- 40:19out. I'm probably won't be getting
- 40:21one any time soon, or whatever, because that sucker is more
- 40:24expensive than a PS5 itself. And Also never, they have like
- 40:27like a good setup here, whatever to really accommodate for the
- 40:30anyway. So it is what it is, but one
- 40:35game I do kind of want to shout out though that speaking of
- 40:38PlayStation, whatever it says game called season a letter to
- 40:41the Future. now, I might have talked about this game before,
- 40:46but this game is kind of like takes place to kind of like a
- 40:49like a In a world where the season or basic kind of like
- 40:54kind of like the error is about to end.
- 40:58And so you're kind of going gone on this journey across the world
- 41:02and documenting everything everything from the sights and
- 41:04sounds. So you had this like very
- 41:06awesome camera where you can take pictures of stuff whatever
- 41:09and you have this kind of like a tape recorder.
- 41:11We can record sounds and audio and stuff whatever.
- 41:14And it's just like a really peaceful but kind of like, Mel
- 41:18akane Field game because you kind of know that.
- 41:27Just the subject matter of like, okay, I'm recording, I'm
- 41:29documenting the world sort of speak.
- 41:34Clearly something satisfying going to happen at the end of
- 41:36this game because the, because the framing for the game is that
- 41:40somebody in the future is reading your Journal which I
- 41:44enjoy the journal to whatever of from a compliment like a few
- 41:48hours of the game so far. And I know it's not super long
- 41:51either, but I've only played like a few are like a couple
- 41:53hours of it or whatever. But like all the stuff that your
- 41:56document or whatever you can put into that this kind of like
- 41:58Journal scrapbook, kind of thing whatever and you You can paste a
- 42:04picture or you can put the pictures in there, resize them
- 42:07however different little stickers and stuff, whatever
- 42:11audio recordings, all the stuff whatever.
- 42:13And so somebody which the title season a letter to the Future
- 42:18make sense because somebody from the future is going through and
- 42:23recounting all the stuff that you've documented in this book
- 42:26so saying. So that's really cool.
- 42:28I like that some PlayStation 45 and I think See as well from a
- 42:33quickly. So yeah.
- 42:35So that was been a really cool one so Nintendo.
- 42:41They kind of came out with a little bit of a banger with that
- 42:46director, couple weeks back and they also did there was also a
- 42:50Pokemon anniversary, one the other day to whatever because it
- 42:53was this the 27th anniversary of poke of the Pokemon series or
- 42:57whatever. And then I was like, the new
- 42:59like Netflix show and they announced the new Expansions for
- 43:04scarlet and violin which I still have not played and I was
- 43:07looking at or whatever on the a shot.
- 43:09But but we got a lot of dates for some stuff from like the
- 43:14pink pigment for is coming out in and July, that sort of New
- 43:19Birth of Zelda. Tears of the Kingdom trailer
- 43:25Splatoon DLC. They added Game, Boy, and Game
- 43:28Boy Advance stuff to the All last service.
- 43:33So the Gameboy stuff is there on the base subscription, the
- 43:38twenty dollar a year subscription and then on the
- 43:40exhale higher to the expansion one.
- 43:43That's where the Game Boy Advance stuff is.
- 43:45And I'm like, I don't know, I'm tempted because because I was
- 43:49like, they're going to have a lot of my favorite, handheld,
- 43:52Zelda games, like the Minish Cap.
- 43:55I love that game so much. Just like, shrinking down being
- 43:59linked, shrunk down and find this kind of like other World
- 44:04hitting with them like literal bookshelves and different stuff
- 44:07for the error. And they also going to be
- 44:09bringing the other, the Oracle game from from Game Boy, The
- 44:13Oracle of Seasons and Oracle of Ages.
- 44:15So I'll be all alone to revisit those because I haven't played
- 44:18in any of those since I was kid. What else do they show their?
- 44:25Oh, This was a big one for me. So Disney illusion Island.
- 44:32So this game is basically kind of like a kind of like a Mickey
- 44:38Mouse version of Rayman Legends. Which Disney illusion Island.
- 44:55And this is going to be coming out in the summer now.
- 45:01Get it to play. Oh, so like look at the Gap.
- 45:06Whatever always like. Yeah, this is the, our style.
- 45:10This is based off of a kind of the there's like a Mickey Mouse
- 45:13shirt, whatever with the star already, the Vash loves to watch
- 45:16and y'all know me and vegetable of playing Rayman Legends.
- 45:20So soon as I saw this whatever and it's and it's up to
- 45:22four-player local and online co-op.
- 45:25I was always yeah of course of course man.
- 45:28My boy, we're going to be boom. Be rolling through.
- 45:31With Mickey and the crew. But yeah, that the game just
- 45:34looks so fun and just so we're just so much personality and
- 45:38stuff, whatever. So I'm very excited to play that
- 45:40on, like this comes out, July 28th.
- 45:43So still got a ways to go before it comes out, but I'm but that
- 45:46was definitely a highlight of the of the Nintendo Direct from
- 45:50me. All right, let's see.
- 45:54What else? Was a highlight of this thing?
- 45:57Of course. They announced that shuttle
- 46:02dropped, a remaster of a Metroid Prime 1 now, I've never gotten
- 46:08ever gotten too deep into the Metroid games, and I've
- 46:12definitely never played any of the Metroid Prime games, but
- 46:15just wanted to mention that for all you listeners, that might be
- 46:19interested in that series. Whatever to know the day, long
- 46:23rumored remaster finally came at least four for one, so that's on
- 46:27on the switch. Okay, so there was just one game
- 46:32called Harmony. Take control of your destiny.
- 46:36If I remember crying. Think that's the one by the
- 46:39original creators of life is strange.
- 46:41So I'm excited for to check out that one because I love life is
- 46:44strange and they do really good storytelling.
- 46:47So I'm excited for that. The advance Wars 1 plus 2,
- 46:54re-release or remaster. I should say, whatever is coming
- 46:57out. In April, got a date for April.
- 46:59April. Um, What else?
- 47:06So the other big or the other one.
- 47:10So one thing that's been big, lady whatever seemingly is
- 47:14demos. So a lot of games have gotten
- 47:17some demos likely, whatever. So I kept a traveler to has a
- 47:22demo out, I think across all platforms, PC PlayStation, 2
- 47:25Xbox, which there's this little game.
- 47:29Well, I say little, but I believe I believe.
- 47:35The studio that did, this is the same Studio.
- 47:36That did a game, a few years back called the messenger.
- 47:40Now, this game is definitely kind of been like the style of
- 47:42comes like a Chrono Trigger Style game.
- 47:45And so now I've never been too big on.
- 47:48I'm not too big on like classy, like RPG games whatever.
- 47:52But Chrono, Trigger was a big exception to that rule because I
- 47:56played that re-release of that on the Nintendo DS.
- 48:00Back in like, 2008, whenever that was so seeing this game,
- 48:04whatever, like, Like it's like should I from the look at how
- 48:06the combat and everything looks in the world just looks
- 48:08beautiful. I was like yeah this is
- 48:11definitely gonna be my type of game.
- 48:13So there's a demo for this out on the switch for sure and maybe
- 48:18PC, I don't know, but it's going to be coming out.
- 48:22I think our across multiple unofficial is going to come in
- 48:24on with the game itself is coming out in August, but I'm
- 48:27not hungry. 100% for sure on. What all platforms?
- 48:33Let me see where the demo on. There's a demo.
- 48:35Ah for a new game called. I think it's wall along Dynasty.
- 48:39It's kind of like a Souls like game.
- 48:41They just came out this week that demo for that is out.
- 48:47There's another big demo. Oh, Your Cruiser like a dragon
- 48:55Asian that's got a demo out now and yeah.
- 49:01So but it is so far. It's been like a lot of like
- 49:03really dope games that have come out in this first part of the
- 49:06year so far or lower. Like I said, even just demos to
- 49:10try out and stuff. I know a lot of people have been
- 49:12enjoying this page remake came out and other stuff and of
- 49:18course I have to touch on big one that I've been playing that
- 49:24is taking up a lot of my time and that is Hogwarts Legacy.
- 49:31So I got Hoggers Legacy for my PS 5, because as your boy does,
- 49:38you know, When I'm interested in something, whatever, I'm going
- 49:42to take a look at it, but I'm also going to be trying to be
- 49:48financially responsible about it.
- 49:50So I had like a bunch of old games and different stuff,
- 49:55whatever. Maybe I think you had like an
- 49:57extra Xbox One just lying around, try to that stuff in
- 50:00there, whatever towards that so got that.
- 50:04Plus that somebody left over or whatever.
- 50:07But so Hogwarts Legacy, man. So, I'm not even that big of a
- 50:12fan of Harry Potter. Now, I will say, I watched all
- 50:17the movies growing up as they release or whatever and I enjoy
- 50:20them for the world, but I wouldn't say that I'm like a
- 50:22hardcore, you know, fan where I read the books and I know all
- 50:26the different lower and edited. Uh, but even still I shout out
- 50:31to the homie. Polo from mic.
- 50:33Check waifu podcast because he got the like the early version
- 50:39of it or whatever. Before it hit regular retail or
- 50:42whatever back when it came out. And so I was watching him
- 50:45streaming it in, streaming it on Twitch and he was just having so
- 50:49much fun playing it or whatever. And at least looking like Polo
- 50:53players little bit like me where he's going around exploring
- 50:56checking all the nooks and crannies of everything,
- 50:58whatever. But man getting a chance to play
- 51:02it myself. This game is very dense and
- 51:07finely detailed. And I appreciate the work that
- 51:13the developers put into the game and stuff because you can tell
- 51:17they put a lot of care and love into bringing this world to life
- 51:22because like these, the freaking Hogwarts Castle from the series
- 51:29is literally rhyme a giunta scale of what they show in the
- 51:33movies and what is may be described in the books and stuff
- 51:36whatever tour literally you can fully explore the whole castle
- 51:40all floors. Everything cuz you can literally
- 51:43go into every single room and interact with pretty much a lot
- 51:47of stuff within the game. Whatever.
- 51:48Because so when the game first starts, well, not answer when it
- 51:53first starts because which I will say, story-wise for me,
- 51:59they got my attention immediately, whatever.
- 52:00Cuz cuz it's popped off out the gate, and I was not expecting
- 52:04that, whatever. And it was a Hoka, Hey, we ain't
- 52:08here to play. That's gonna be some deaths,
- 52:10potentially, whatever. And some action or whatever as
- 52:14so yeah. So and it just is just really
- 52:17fun combat and stuff but let me back up with it better or
- 52:21whatever. So when you first started
- 52:22thinking at Hogwarts Castle your and your dorm room or the
- 52:25address. So you get to know mission to go
- 52:27out. No to the like the commentary or
- 52:29whatever. But I'm like hey I'm explore.
- 52:31So I went up a couple levels or whatever or down whatever the
- 52:35opposite direction but I need to go.
- 52:36So I went down, went a couple levels and every flaw Or I can
- 52:42go into every every out everybody else's dorm room or
- 52:44wherever and check out stuff, whatever.
- 52:46Some of the rooms have like, chest with a few stuff in it, or
- 52:48whatever, going to go into the bathrooms going to every stall.
- 52:54You can flush every toilet. You can turn on multiple of the
- 52:56sinks. It was just insane.
- 52:59Just seeing that. There's hidden rooms everywhere,
- 53:02which, of course, this is a World of Magic, so that stuff
- 53:05makes sense. But it's just, it's one thing
- 53:07seeing the stuff in movies and reading about it in books or
- 53:11just And rather than passing, but actually getting to walk
- 53:14around and explore that world. And I said that because honestly
- 53:17they could have just made a game just in the castle itself would
- 53:22have been enough for a mortise, double-digit our game.
- 53:26But think that it's like no that is just a portion of this
- 53:30decent-sized world that it's like said it's just houses and
- 53:35towns and stuff all over the place that you can go in caves
- 53:39to explore. Underwater Caverns, it's a lot.
- 53:44And just the fluidity of like once you get your broom to wear,
- 53:48of course, there are certain there are certain times like
- 53:50when your salad with you and the castle or certain places where
- 53:54you can't fly. But just the fact like, when
- 53:55you're just out in the world, you can just with into button
- 53:58presses, just are one example, a 57, l 1 Circle, boom, boom
- 54:04Summers and I can just freely go anywhere.
- 54:06I want to on the map. It is just super dope and stuff.
- 54:10What? A mass.
- 54:11So like I said it is It is wild and, and in a way like, despite
- 54:19all the controversies that stuff, surrounding the game,
- 54:23whatever I do like this, tell them to give my hats off to the
- 54:28developers, you know, 10 brothers.
- 54:32And then the studio, the dated Avalanche Studios.
- 54:36Because, like I said, like, despite the Herculean task
- 54:42presented and said before, Um of like hey you got to bring the
- 54:47series to life in a way amongst all this craziness going on
- 54:51whatever and I always say they passed with flying colors in my
- 54:55book and like sending. I'm not even like that big of a
- 54:57fan of the series but it's like man y'all really show it out.
- 55:03And showed what y'all can really do with this came in with this
- 55:07world and stuff. So like I said, with the combat,
- 55:13it is super fun. Just getting to throw out all
- 55:15the different spells and everything and I said, just like
- 55:18getting to learn more about the world and how to Maneuvers and
- 55:21stuff forever. Everything is just like so
- 55:23natural because it's okay. If you think about something,
- 55:27whatever, if you have a plan, or are you stuck somewhere?
- 55:29Wherever. You're like, I wonder if I do
- 55:31such-and-such with that work. Now, it's times out of 10, it's
- 55:35going to work and that is such a satisfying feeling.
- 55:38When you're like dealing with the puzzle or something and
- 55:41you're like, man, I wonder if I use fire on this thing or if I
- 55:46use light to illuminate this for if I do this and that or
- 55:48whatever. Yeah it is.
- 55:50Just so so good at doing Doing this stuff.
- 55:59Oh, and of course, big shout out to that studio for the character
- 56:03customization because man, Like the outfits and and I love how
- 56:11they have that they give you the ability to if you find a piece
- 56:15of gear that you visually like. But of course there's a pending
- 56:18through the game, you're going to love love, you're going to
- 56:20upgrade your going to get more, you know, stronger gear
- 56:23whatever. But if you still want to keep
- 56:24the same visual look, then you can still equip newer, higher
- 56:28level equipment or whatever. It took to get your stats where
- 56:31you want to get it. But visually, then you can put
- 56:34whatever visual look, you still want to have four.
- 56:37Each category so it's like you have like your your clothes, you
- 56:39have your jacket or cloak, you have a scarf glasses, a hat or
- 56:45whatever and gloves so it is just so dope on but yeah those
- 56:50watching a video version. This is my business is the
- 56:53character that I had maybe like Ten or so hours in, I think
- 56:58because I'm level 20 here and I'm like, 24 hours into the game
- 57:02now and I'm level, I'm level 27 or 28 chimeric.
- 57:07I just love it up again while ago before I started recording.
- 57:10But um, but yeah, and Andy, variety of hairstyles for all
- 57:16kinds of special for the black people.
- 57:18Hey, they did it, which I want to give a shout out to, to
- 57:25bless, Passing from kind of funny because he actually just
- 57:30did a video on this. Some if you go too kind of funny
- 57:36games YouTube channel or just search for the blasting show.
- 57:47He did this awesome video where he kind of talked about black
- 57:54hair and video games and so yeah, here it is black hair.
- 58:02In video games and so it was a fantastic very in-depth.
- 58:06Well research well edited and put together a video that he
- 58:10did. And so I highly encourage
- 58:12everybody to go check that out. That was very dope to see and
- 58:18yes, I think that's pretty much it as far as like the games that
- 58:20I've played. Like I said, Hogwarts Legacy of
- 58:23taking up the bulk of my time. Like I said, the fact that I've
- 58:26got to play over 20 hours of something within a month is
- 58:31free. It's freaking wild on last thing
- 58:33I want to say about the game. Like said just kind of like, you
- 58:36know, happy for the the for the developers.
- 58:38Whatever is like like the game I believe set the currently has
- 58:44the all-time record on Twitch for like like most concurrent
- 58:50watches on a single player game and they've already sold 12
- 58:54million copies of the game as well.
- 58:56And keep in mind that is only on next-gen and PC.
- 59:00So that's just PC. PS 5 and then the Xbox series
- 59:05systems. That doesn't count in April when
- 59:08it comes to PS4 and Xbox One. And then in the summer, when it
- 59:12comes to Nintendo switch, yo, that is freaking insane because
- 59:17even another one that just had a big milestone is Elder ring
- 59:24right before it hits a one-year. Anniversary this week, it
- 59:28crossed 20 million cells but that's for our Whole year which
- 59:32of course it's still freaking fantastic especially for a from
- 59:35software. So it was like game to sell 20
- 59:38million copies is freaking ridiculous and super dope, but
- 59:41it's like says also just crazy like, hot girls are gross.
- 59:44Legacy is already hit 12 million and it hasn't even been out for
- 59:48four month yet so that is freakin wild but um but yeah, so
- 59:54onto the next thing. Trying to think of what else I
- 59:58want to touch on really quickly whatever.
- 1:00:02So let's talk about a few things that I've been watching.
- 1:00:05So of course I have still been watching and enjoying the last
- 1:00:10of us which I guess, speaking of gaming stuff whatever I ended up
- 1:00:14buying The Last of Us remake because because originally, you
- 1:00:19know, I wasn't well, obviously I was like cuz the Remake came out
- 1:00:24in September of last year. As I ask, whatever they needed,
- 1:00:28whatever, but my wife, my oldest son, both wanted were were
- 1:00:35wanted to play it again because my wife also wants to finally
- 1:00:39play less of us too, because she's never played Last of Us 2
- 1:00:42and so they started playing the remastered version.
- 1:00:46And so, I was thinking I was like, you know what, because
- 1:00:48it's about this is my wife's third playthrough of the last of
- 1:00:50us since we've met. So, You know, so I was kind of
- 1:00:57looking at stuff, whatever and I was like, you know what?
- 1:01:02If she's going to run through it again or whatever then I want to
- 1:01:04know, give her a even better experience, whatever side bomb.
- 1:01:08So I bought the the remake or whatever so she's been playing
- 1:01:11through that. I've been really enjoying it
- 1:01:12again. And of course me my wife and my
- 1:01:15older son, we've also all been watching The Last of Us TV show
- 1:01:18which continues to be super good when it comes out every Sunday
- 1:01:22and stuff, but my child think a Cuts going back, a few episodes.
- 1:01:31I should've found think cuz I hope they haven't heard anything
- 1:01:34since the premiere. So so overall in general also
- 1:01:37have really been enjoying the show.
- 1:01:39I really liked how they change stuff with with the salmon Henry
- 1:01:45section, where they kind of like introduce kind of just like new
- 1:01:48resistance faction or whatever. And they went to a different
- 1:01:51city versus how they did in the game.
- 1:01:53And so that's part was dope. it was handled really well because
- 1:01:59even though I knew what was coming with the salmon, Henry
- 1:02:02situation, It's still got me. It still hit me in my heart and
- 1:02:07my soul when that moment happened.
- 1:02:13So yeah. So shout out to them on.
- 1:02:15Shout shout, shout out to the young man who who played Sam
- 1:02:21because he was actually deaf, and I love how they Incorporated
- 1:02:25the ASF stuff into the show and then send the behind-the-scenes
- 1:02:29stuff of how of how the cast and crew, a lot of the cash.
- 1:02:35And crew learned ASAS that they can communicate with him and
- 1:02:39stuff whatever and I know that whatever I cannot feel included
- 1:02:41and stuff. So that was super dope.
- 1:02:46What else the episode were? They reading out with Tommy was
- 1:02:49cool. And, of course, now currently
- 1:02:52we're dealing with job being hurt as relating up to a very
- 1:02:56big moment in the next episode, which I'm not going to spoil.
- 1:02:59But this is also one of like the big pivotal moments in the game,
- 1:03:04but yeah, it It's just wanna think about the amount.
- 1:03:06We only have two episodes left of this show, so I finished
- 1:03:11going to be these last two around to be some, some extra
- 1:03:15long heat in order to to try to squeeze in a squeezing, these
- 1:03:20last couple bits whatever. So, but yeah, and also and also
- 1:03:25enjoyed the, the Left Behind flashback episode instead of as
- 1:03:30well. So that was really cool really
- 1:03:32well done. What?
- 1:03:34Else TV show wise. Mandalorian season 3, that
- 1:03:40started back today. Whatever I watch the first
- 1:03:42episode with solid, but I'm also not the biggest Star Wars fan.
- 1:03:45Like, I mentioned when I wash and or but I do still enjoy
- 1:03:48watching the shows and stuff. Whatever, but aside from that
- 1:03:52today, I got to catch up on like four episodes of a bit of them
- 1:03:56entry, because I knew, of course, I had been behind
- 1:03:59between just life, stuff, happening, whatever.
- 1:04:01And then the show is kind of having, like a funky schedule
- 1:04:04here. And there were, they were, they
- 1:04:05were, they missed a week or couple weeks, whatever.
- 1:04:07So I ended up unintentionally letting it build and man, that
- 1:04:10was a fantastic binge-watch. And honestly what I needed
- 1:04:15because that show like I told you before it is just filled
- 1:04:20with just so much love and care cuz you get the comedy just like
- 1:04:26everything from the stuff, with the staff, the teachers to the
- 1:04:30students and combinations of everything in between, but then
- 1:04:33at the center of it, all it always comes back to like really
- 1:04:37Important life lessons and stuff that you can kind of take from
- 1:04:41these episodes of like what's going on and what happened and
- 1:04:45what people learn from their situations and stuff, whatever.
- 1:04:47And they're like, hey it's okay to be afraid.
- 1:04:49It's okay for this and that whatever.
- 1:04:51So but it's a very Elementary super dope.
- 1:04:54Still super loving it. I think that's it with like Vera
- 1:04:59TV shows, whatever anime stuff, whatever this has been kind of
- 1:05:03all over the place because honestly I've fallen off of a
- 1:05:07lot of shows and just keeping up with everything.
- 1:05:10Like I was the few things that I'm 100% caught up on no matter
- 1:05:15what is Angel next door, surprisingly blue lock Kinda and
- 1:05:26the great snow. See campfire, cooking, love that
- 1:05:31show. And those are kind of like kind
- 1:05:36of like my main main ones. I'm 100% on top of whatever, but
- 1:05:40I've unfortunately, even falling behind on try again.
- 1:05:43I think I'm like two or three episodes behind now, which I
- 1:05:47guess in a way, I was kind of thinking about it like waiting
- 1:05:50anyways, they might be switching over to the dove just because
- 1:05:53the homie Johnny Young. Josh is back forcing Vash.
- 1:05:57I saw you know what? Maybe I want to just go and
- 1:06:00support that or whatever, so, but we'll see.
- 1:06:02I don't know. 100% for sure yet. But we'll see how I'll handle
- 1:06:06that bomb by. Yeah, but so far this season
- 1:06:08continues to be really good, just overwhelming.
- 1:06:11And then just like knowing that next season, there's even more
- 1:06:15stuff coming or whatever. So, but we'll get to it when we
- 1:06:18get to it. I'm trying to think of something
- 1:06:23that's it. For anime stuff and manga.
- 1:06:27So, A lot of stuff that I've read as far as our individual
- 1:06:32manga volumes or or slight, big chapters, whatever, I've still
- 1:06:37been doing individual reviews and stuff for that stuff,
- 1:06:39whatever. So go check those out.
- 1:06:40But but, and as you'll see, so everything here on this second
- 1:06:47shelf, which let me see if I can so a lot of some of this stuff
- 1:06:52is stuff that I've already rented reviewed, but all of
- 1:06:53this, All of this stack here and I don't know if you can see, but
- 1:07:00behind my jacket is whatever there is another stack here.
- 1:07:08So that's all new stuff that I've gotten recently.
- 1:07:12Whatever like I said, majority of this is stuff that I have
- 1:07:17bought over like like the end of last year, whatever that I just
- 1:07:21never did a haul for so hopefully sometime soon.
- 1:07:25I'll try to do it. A manga hall for for this stuff
- 1:07:29that I got and then dive into reading some stuff because I
- 1:07:32finally started picking up some more continuations of some stuff
- 1:07:37that I enjoyed. So my okay, it's time to go back
- 1:07:40and I start revisiting some stuff that I have that.
- 1:07:43I've already Been enjoying a stuff, whatever.
- 1:07:47So but other manga stuff, whatever, so ichinose, family,
- 1:07:56deadly sins continues to be intriguing like I mentioned
- 1:08:00before had a really strong start those like chapters like four to
- 1:08:07seven or eight or whatever kind of but everything since then
- 1:08:12it's just kind of had kind of had.
- 1:08:14I just reset Mom and again, whatever has been really good.
- 1:08:18So I'm looking forward to seeing where things go with that and
- 1:08:23still I caught back up on Sakamoto days and Sakamoto
- 1:08:27Sakamoto said I am him. I want all the smoke because
- 1:08:32there wasn't there was a moment at the end of the most recent
- 1:08:34chapter whatever where somebody's like Cassandra this
- 1:08:39is like, it was like a flashback when Sakamoto was younger and
- 1:08:42the guy was I all right which of y'all is stronger and then the
- 1:08:45other guy with point is takemoto like him and psychomotor himself
- 1:08:48was like me me. So I love that whatever.
- 1:08:52Bombay but Sakamoto face just y'all know, don't panels and
- 1:08:57stuff, whatever, super cool. So, Looking forward to
- 1:09:00continued. Read that whatever.
- 1:09:05I'm trying to think what else. Oh, of course.
- 1:09:10And this might be the last thing because man, y'all watching the
- 1:09:14videos, I'll see my eyes turn to fade it out.
- 1:09:17I'm out the fricking fall asleep on it, on this freaking
- 1:09:19recording. But, but last thing I want to
- 1:09:22just touch on or whatever and the anything else.
- 1:09:24We'll get to next time whatever. But how, how can I not talk
- 1:09:29about? One piece.

- 1:11:53One piece is great. We finally see that very Vega
- 1:11:58Punk. Again, with all the missing cp0
- 1:12:00agents, I'm trying to think insistence lasting record,
- 1:12:04whatever. We also, we also have found out
- 1:12:06that that Stussy is a double triple agent or whatever.
- 1:12:10And that the Stussy we know, no, she is a clone of Miss bucking.
- 1:12:17Who is weevils mom? And she also used to be part of
- 1:12:21the Rocks Pirates back in the day and some and we can see we
- 1:12:26will again protect right Bears Island.
- 1:12:29While marker was going to want to know, but then we find out
- 1:12:32that Weevil got into a scrap with green boy and got captured
- 1:12:36and so that whole situation happened.
- 1:12:41And I'm talking what else? Man.
- 1:12:43It was just, it was a lot of craziness going on or whatever.
- 1:12:45So, but all in all one piece is good, one piece is dope and I
- 1:12:50look forward to to seeing what I hope we are.
- 1:12:55I hope we actually get to see Shanks or somebody from Shanks,
- 1:12:58his crew and actual combat. Something older give us
- 1:13:02something please but but yeah, but I think that might do it for
- 1:13:08this one. Y'all like this.
- 1:13:10God take some not With a couple hours ago.
- 1:13:14It's about about to knock me out, man.
- 1:13:15It's going to be a this park is about to end, won't be in snooze
- 1:13:21mode. But, but yeah, like I said, that
- 1:13:25this has been good to finally get to come back and record
- 1:13:30something I will say, I don't know when the next time I do,
- 1:13:33one of these, you know, it is what it is.
- 1:13:36It's just like I said with, you know, I still have to do some
- 1:13:39traveling coming out for basketball.
- 1:13:41And then, just just average day-to-day life stuff made it
- 1:13:45is. It is a lot, it is a lot but,
- 1:13:49you know, but we we are fortunate enough to be like say
- 1:13:55at least kind of like back on our feet in a way that we
- 1:13:58weren't last time. I had this conversation with
- 1:14:00y'all and stuff so but I'll just say, you know, y'all do good out
- 1:14:05there. Y'all continue to be encouraged
- 1:14:07and push forward, and I'm going to continue to play some
- 1:14:10freaking video game. Ames because I got to sort of
- 1:14:14gym. So so quickly last little story.
- 1:14:18So I ended up getting another Nintendo switch because like I'm
- 1:14:21not imagining a while back there.
- 1:14:23My original switch. And now this is this is money to
- 1:14:29know switch, that I got my lunch switch that I got on day, when
- 1:14:35they came out back in 2017, this is my switches a few months
- 1:14:39older than Vash. But but something that happened
- 1:14:44probably Vash speaking of which, to where the screen doesn't work
- 1:14:49when it's outside of the docking in more.
- 1:14:51So it has to be in the doctor work whatever, which kind of
- 1:14:54sucks. It was okay cool.
- 1:14:56We can see out of use it but it's like the pill of the switch
- 1:14:59has been able to move it around, so, Once again, y'all know I
- 1:15:04talked about your boy, going out, finding deals and stuff.
- 1:15:08Whatever. Well I I have found over the
- 1:15:11years. Lots of really cool stuff for
- 1:15:13good deals at my local pawn shops or whatever.
- 1:15:16And I found they had in really good condition.
- 1:15:20This Animal Crossing edition of the Nintendo switch.
- 1:15:25I got it for $160, so ya can't beat that because originally, I
- 1:15:31was going to get a DS Lite, just from the store regular store
- 1:15:36whatever because those are like 200 or whatever which is a
- 1:15:41hundred dollars cheaper than those switches just 300,
- 1:15:43whatever, or 350 for the OLED. But I was at the pawnshop
- 1:15:47whatever. And so I think originally, I
- 1:15:50think it was I think it was originally A little bit higher,
- 1:15:54but she took some, she took some money off because they didn't
- 1:15:58come with the dock, which is fine by me because we have two
- 1:16:01docks in the house. So I'll okay.
- 1:16:03Cool, perfect. So I'll take it.
- 1:16:05So I got it wreck. I must have sit back on over
- 1:16:08there were. So I'm very happy to have
- 1:16:10another fully functioning functioning and single switch.
- 1:16:14But I found a couple of games that I want to check out.
- 1:16:18So one of them is a game called Jenny Le clue which It's kind of
- 1:16:24like this like detective little game, whatever they came out, I
- 1:16:28believe a couple of years ago whatever.
- 1:16:30Because I remember back when I was like I think like getting
- 1:16:31Kickstarter or something like that ever and the Creator was
- 1:16:34trying to get it, you know, all the platforms and stuff,
- 1:16:36whatever. But I just never got around to
- 1:16:38it or whatever. Well, I think it was on sale for
- 1:16:41like something, like $2 or something.
- 1:16:44Freaking ridiculous somewhat. I can't pass it up whatever.
- 1:16:48So I ended up buying it or whatever.
- 1:16:50I haven't played it yet but I bought it and then there's this
- 1:16:53other game that I just found out about a few hours ago called
- 1:16:57Meg's monster and it's That one. And so, when I looked at the
- 1:17:08cover are at first, I was like, nothing really government
- 1:17:11grabbing my attention, whatever. But something something was, I
- 1:17:14hate just play the trailer, whatever.
- 1:17:15Just just just play with each other, just for for, for
- 1:17:17amusement or whatever, and I'm glad I did because man, the
- 1:17:21music alone in the trailer. So me on that game.
- 1:17:26It had like some real, I don't even know how to describe.
- 1:17:33Music from that trailer. But So yeah, the the music I'm
- 1:17:42gonna see if I can play like just like just like a tiny bit
- 1:17:44of the music. Hopefully.
- 1:17:55I don't know if y'all can hear that are not.
- 1:17:57Hopefully, I can. But I heard that I was like, I
- 1:18:04was like, yo, what what? What is, what is this game?
- 1:18:08And so, so, so it looks like it's about, let me see.
- 1:18:13So the synopsis is your, the most Invincible creature in the
- 1:18:18land. But if she cries the whole world
- 1:18:21dies, God, Roy and Meg on an Epic Journey spending the
- 1:18:25monster world as you charge it, as you try to find the lost two
- 1:18:28girls. Mother, man, so hearing that
- 1:18:32music. And then I kind of picked up
- 1:18:34that little bit from, from the, from the, from the trailer,
- 1:18:41whatever. Before I even read, that
- 1:18:42schnapps is just now, whatever. But I was like, this is probably
- 1:18:45gonna be like, a, like a nice little What's it called,
- 1:18:51emotional Journey, whatever sign it or buy it just start off,
- 1:18:56straight off, RIP just ended up buying it because it's only it
- 1:18:59was something 15 bucks. And it's on the is something
- 1:19:03that's in the switch, which is where I bought it, but it's also
- 1:19:06on the Xbox and PC. And now it's not on game
- 1:19:10password or blacks. It's freaking 15 bucks.
- 1:19:12I was like, why not? I'll give this a shot.
- 1:19:15So hopefully, maybe next time I record this one.
- 1:19:18However you know I have something more to say about that
- 1:19:22or whatever. So but but yeah.
- 1:19:24So are I need to get out of here because it just crossed midnight
- 1:19:27so and I try to stick to my rules even though it's been a
- 1:19:30while since I've recorded. I mean hopefully y'all get to
- 1:19:34see and hear this whatever. Assuming this freaking I'll be a
- 1:19:37system crash on me again but I'm a wrap it up there.
