• 0:24
  Hello everybody, welcome back to the Boss First podcast, a great
• 0:26
  place to play games and be better.
• 0:27
  I'm one of your hosts, Corey Derrigan alongside me as always.
• 0:32
  PC Muscle race himself for Ron Dawkins.
• 0:34
  What is Poppin? What is up?
• 0:38
  How's it going? It's going, it's going.
• 0:40
  How about yourself? It's it's going, it's this is
• 0:45
  the second to last episode of the year, so.
• 0:48
  Yeah. What is this?
• 0:49
  What is this? Yeah, 'cause we're taking off
• 0:51
  Christmas and New Year's, so just to, you know, give everyone
• 0:56
  a little breaky break, as they say.
• 0:59
  A breaky break. That's why I said.
• 1:02
  A breaky break. Yep.
• 1:05
  I don't know man. Just kind of chilling, trying to
• 1:10
  not pay so much attention to all this stuff.
• 1:14
  Putting, putting things off like normal, you know, like the
• 1:17
  bosses, putting it all off, right.
• 1:20
  And, you know, playing some, playing some games and doing
• 1:24
  some art and hanging out with my kids.
• 1:27
  I guess they're fun sometimes. So, so, so Chrome.
• 1:32
  Chrome did this thing that's kind of cool.
• 1:36
  You can now like basically like you can now basically like
• 1:39
  split, split a tab across 2 pages.
• 1:43
  Yeah, this is kind of cool. But this is not the thing we
• 1:46
  want. The thing we want Google is
• 1:49
  vertical tabs. Vertical tabs.
• 1:52
  We want vertical tabs like you, like, you know, like like, like,
• 1:56
  like the Brave browser does, for example, and Microsoft Edge,
• 1:59
  which is built on your, on your code, you know, like how, how do
• 2:05
  you let Google, how do you let Microsoft like, like, I'd let
• 2:09
  Microsoft scoop you on something.
• 2:12
  Microsoft's in 3rd place literally on everything else so.
• 2:15
  Yeah, and they and they scooped Google on something that
• 2:18
  everybody's wanted using Google's own code.
• 2:24
  I mean, that's I, I don't know, man, it's wild.
• 2:29
  I don't I don't know to say Microsoft is.
• 2:33
  Microsoft does some head scratching stuff.
• 2:34
  I'm I'm sorry. They do.
• 2:36
  I'm quite, I'm quite aware. As an Xbox fan, very.
• 2:39
  Aware. I'm so sorry for you, man.
• 2:42
  I'm so sorry. It's fine.
• 2:45
  It's fine. It doesn't matter.
• 2:47
  It doesn't matter. Oh man, I am having.
• 2:50
  Everything I like dies, so you know, whatever.
• 2:53
  To inject just a little bit of After Dark into the Boss versus
• 2:56
  podcast, I am I I I have had an interesting past 5-6 days so far
• 3:04
  and the culmination of it was all all with an MRI today.
• 3:09
  What happened? Well, I've been, I've been
• 3:13
  working non-stop, you know, in my, in my real life job, you
• 3:17
  know, since Thursday trying to solve a problem for you, for a
• 3:20
  client, you know, and, and, and that's practically resolved now.
• 3:27
  But that, that that instance went on from Thursday all the
• 3:30
  way through to Monday. Monday, I was so exhausted.
• 3:34
  And when I say through to Monday, I mean, like I work, I
• 3:36
  work Saturday and Sunday, you know, yeah, which is not always,
• 3:42
  which is, which is rare for me, but it's not, but it's not, you
• 3:44
  know, all. But you know, it's not uncommon
• 3:46
  sometimes. Yeah.
• 3:48
  Yeah, but I was so exhausted yesterday that when I finally
• 3:53
  got home and and we were in Virginia in the middle of a
• 3:55
  snowstorm yesterday, when I got home, when I got home, like the
• 4:01
  only thing I wanted to do is take a shower and get on the
• 4:03
  bed. And I took a shower and I got on
• 4:06
  the bed and somewhere in the middle of the night I woke up.
• 4:11
  I realized I was, I was asleep and like the lights are off and
• 4:16
  then had to get this morning to get an MRI, which, you know,
• 4:19
  I'm, I'm not. I'm not going to, I'm going to
• 4:21
  spare you. I'm going to spare the gory
• 4:23
  details. But yeah, like I had to, I had
• 4:26
  to use an enema to evacuate my bowels for that, for that MRI.
• 4:31
  Thanks for saving the. Oh, I, I'm not, I'm not being,
• 4:35
  I'm not going to be graphic about it, but I'm just, I'm just
• 4:37
  saying like, you know, like that was the experience, just put it
• 4:40
  that way. I I'm sure it was.
• 4:44
  I bet it was, but. I'll tell you this though, once
• 4:47
  I got once I got in, got my got my hospital gown on, they were
• 4:52
  actually nice to me and let me keep, they let me keep my boxers
• 4:55
  on. So, you know, I wasn't all like
• 4:56
  ass out, you know, in, in the hospital gown.
• 4:59
  They let me keep my boxers on and they like when they put me
• 5:03
  in the, when they put me in the, in the MRI chamber.
• 5:07
  That was the best 45 minute nap I've ever had.
• 5:09
  And that was at, that was at, that was at 9:00 on a, on a, on
• 5:13
  a Tuesday morning. They gave me, they gave me
• 5:20
  earplugs and they gave me like the, the 'cause I'm not sure.
• 5:22
  Have you ever had an MRI before? Probably at some point.
• 5:27
  It's the it's, it's basically the chamber they slide you into
• 5:30
  that makes all the noise and has the magnets and does all the
• 5:32
  imaging and all that stuff. Yeah.
• 5:34
  Yeah, yeah, that was my first time ever being in one.
• 5:36
  And, and you know, I'm not a claustrophobic person, but, but
• 5:41
  I tell you what, when they, when I laid on the slab and they
• 5:45
  started sliding me into the thing and I was like, when
• 5:49
  you're on your back and they're Wheeling you into something,
• 5:52
  your perception, your perception of distance and depth is shot.
• 5:56
  You know, so they rolled me into this thing and I'm, and I am
• 6:00
  naturally not a claustrophobic person, but as they, as they
• 6:02
  slid me into the thing and like I'm going and, and you know,
• 6:05
  like you can see, like there's because like there's little
• 6:08
  cameras that you can see, like pinhole cameras that you can
• 6:10
  see. So as I'm seeing, I'm seeing one
• 6:13
  pass by, I'm seeing another one pass by, I see a third one pass
• 6:16
  by and I'm and, and my mind started racing for like a split
• 6:21
  second. Like holy crap.
• 6:26
  I, I was like, Oh my God, I'm about to be sardined up in here,
• 6:28
  right? But I, I, I got, I was lucky and
• 6:31
  I got one of the, one of the, one of the MRI machines that
• 6:34
  it's a through and through. So it's open on both ends
• 6:39
  because I for a split second, for a split second, I felt like
• 6:42
  I was going to freak out. Wow, nice naps, am I right?
• 6:50
  And then and she and now and the technician that was that was,
• 6:54
  that was, that was conducting it all.
• 6:56
  She was like, oh, she she was like, she was like you this is
• 6:58
  your first MRI was like, yeah, she's like, you did very well.
• 7:00
  Like you didn't. You hardly moved at all.
• 7:02
  I was like, oh, I was asleep. And she was like, I thought so.
• 7:08
  That's funny, I think the weirdest place I've ever fallen
• 7:11
  asleep was the dentist. You fell asleep in the dentist's
• 7:14
  chair. Yeah.
• 7:16
  In the chair, not in the lobby, in the chair.
• 7:18
  Yeah. With him in your mouth.
• 7:21
  Probably. Oh, that sounded dirty.
• 7:24
  It is what it is, man. It happens.
• 7:31
  You were like, you let him drill you while you were asleep.
• 7:34
  Man, you, you are. You're a freak.
• 7:38
  That's the only way to do it, you know.
• 7:43
  You got drilled with your eyes closed.
• 7:48
  He gave you the he gave you the good roofies that that day.
• 7:52
  There's there's definitely drugs involved.
• 7:59
  Man, so have you? Have you been?
• 8:02
  I don't know, man, I'm, I'm tired.
• 8:04
  I'm just trying to stay afloat and get stuff done and trying to
• 8:14
  you know, we're we're we have kind of launched this podcast
• 8:20
  network for work and building. Let me tell you, a building
• 8:24
  podcasts for a massive company with like 15 arms in it is
• 8:32
  difficult, but it's going pretty well.
• 8:37
  It's going going pretty well. The good thing is I don't have
• 8:42
  to edit these ones, but sometimes I wish I was the one
• 8:46
  editing them because you know. You just, you just have to have
• 8:50
  control, don't you? Yes, I do.
• 8:52
  That's yes. Let it go, let it go.
• 9:02
  I just, I know, I know. Come on man.
• 9:09
  I have, I have. I've let them.
• 9:11
  I've let them go. But somehow you got them back,
• 9:16
  or somehow you're going to get them back.
• 9:18
  I probably, yeah, at some point I probably will.
• 9:24
  But yeah, I mean, I'm just, I'm just, I'm, I'm ready for the
• 9:28
  year to be over. I am too.
• 9:31
  I am too, and I still have a whole bunch of stuff on my
• 9:34
  plate. God.
• 9:36
  Yeah, I have. I'm finally getting the point
• 9:40
  because it's the end of the year where like my days are starting
• 9:43
  to become less and less full. So plus like over the weekend I
• 9:48
  did a bunch of work. So I would actually have like
• 9:51
  not a lot of work to do the next couple weeks to the point where
• 9:55
  like I'm it's literally work that I'm waiting on stuff, you
• 9:59
  know, to happen before I can do it.
• 10:04
  So that's cool. But it's still like a lot of
• 10:07
  work. But whatever, it's fine.
• 10:09
  I I bet. And then, you know, trying to
• 10:13
  like figure out what the bosses are going to be this year
• 10:18
  because like, I don't want to, I, I wanted to kind of be like
• 10:21
  last year, but like not obviously not at that scale
• 10:24
  because I underestimated how long and how many people were
• 10:29
  involved. But yeah, I'm trying to figure
• 10:36
  that all out not to. So I do have some, I have
• 10:39
  templates ready for the trailers like, you know, the, the game
• 10:42
  names and the developers and stuff like that.
• 10:45
  You know, like I have all that stuff ready.
• 10:48
  I have ideas for the transitions because I I told you somebody I
• 10:54
  work with gave me this massive 22 gig or 22 gig file for
• 11:01
  assets, for video for Final Cut Pro.
• 11:06
  And you somehow did not do any work and find a Davinci Resolve
• 11:10
  version of it for me. I'm I'm.
• 11:12
  So I'm so sorry man, I'm so upset but like.
• 11:17
  It's, it's almost like, it's almost like you hate me.
• 11:19
  It like quadrupled the amount of assets I have.
• 11:21
  And they're all like, you know, pretty nice.
• 11:25
  I need assets. Yeah, well, sorry Laurent.
• 11:31
  Dude just learn to Vinci resolve and and and and join and join
• 11:34
  the and join the popular crowd. No, I have something that works
• 11:38
  and I like it man. And it's not Adobe, so.
• 11:43
  You are man. You are no, you are no fun
• 11:45
  sometimes, man. I know.
• 11:46
  I. You know what, you know what,
• 11:48
  you know what, when, whenever, whenever you and I meet, I'm
• 11:50
  just going to, I'm just going to tickle you for like for like 3
• 11:52
  minutes straight. You know, like we're going to,
• 11:54
  we're going to inject some fun into you.
• 11:56
  Don't threaten me with a good time, Lauren.
• 12:04
  Don't worry though, I won't I I won't tickle your feet so you're
• 12:06
  you're you so you won't have to be uncomfortable.
• 12:09
  No, dude, I I don't like my feet and I wear socks all the time.
• 12:12
  Not because I'm cold, but because I don't like my feet.
• 12:15
  So you know. You know, it's, it's, it's
• 12:19
  weird. It's weird how we are about
• 12:21
  certain body parts, you know, like it's weird, you know, like
• 12:25
  we everybody, everybody has them, but but you know, like
• 12:27
  there's certain body parts that we're like man, I don't, I don't
• 12:30
  give a fuck. Like like don't even remind me
• 12:33
  it's there. Yeah, you have a lot of those,
• 12:40
  boy I got. A couple of parts.
• 12:42
  I got a couple of parts though, like I always need reminding it
• 12:44
  that that that they exist and they're there and that they
• 12:47
  work. Yeah, yeah.
• 12:51
  Well, you know, when you're on a bunch of medication, you don't
• 12:54
  care about any of that. Oh yeah.
• 12:58
  Oh. Yeah, I added, I had a new
• 13:00
  medication that I can't that I cannot talk about on the on on
• 13:03
  this show. Like I can talk about it on
• 13:05
  after Dark, but I can't talk about it on this show.
• 13:07
  And that's been clue enough to all of our to all of our really
• 13:10
  savvy listeners out there what that medication is.
• 13:15
  I'm also a new medication. I can talk about it here though,
• 13:18
  OK? It's anti anxiety medication.
• 13:22
  And how would you that? We don't have to get into
• 13:24
  details here. As a matter of fact, we should
• 13:25
  probably spare those details from this from this show.
• 13:29
  I've been taking it for like 5 weeks and I feel great 6.
• 13:32
  Weeks. Oh, really?
• 13:33
  OK, good. Weeks, so a little bit more
• 13:36
  tired than normal, but it's fine, it's cool.
• 13:42
  Speaking of tired Laron, you playing anything?
• 13:47
  Because of how my week was last week.
• 13:49
  No, you. Watching anything?
• 13:56
  I started, I started that show. Heated rivalry?
• 13:58
  What is that? It's a, it's, it's a, it's a
• 14:01
  queer show. I'm going to say it's about,
• 14:03
  it's about it. It follows, it follows the lives
• 14:05
  of some hockey players. Two of them are basically
• 14:09
  rookies. Like they got they, they got,
• 14:11
  they got recruited. They got recruited off of off of
• 14:14
  college teams into the into MLH and it and it kind of follows
• 14:20
  them. But but, but the blot twist is
• 14:24
  like, you know, like, like they like their rivalry gets to a
• 14:27
  point where like where like it just winds up getting overridden
• 14:30
  by sexual tension. And and it is, it's it's good,
• 14:36
  it's good. There's a, there's, there's a
• 14:39
  it's, it's a very, it's a very good show.
• 14:42
  There are a lot of like, well, not a lot, but I mean like, you
• 14:45
  know, like, there's definitely like, like, like sexual scenes
• 14:48
  and situations in, in the show and, and it's fun.
• 14:53
  I would recommend, I recommend anybody that has an open mind.
• 14:56
  So that means if you're not like, like, like like gay or
• 14:59
  bisexual or, you know, lesbian, you know, if you have an open
• 15:02
  mind about like, you know, like good TV and stuff and kind of
• 15:05
  like kind of like want, kind of like want to watch something
• 15:07
  romantic and stuff like that, this, this show is definitely
• 15:09
  worth it. You know, if you have an open
• 15:12
  mind, like if you do not have an open mind, don't watch this
• 15:15
  show. And then like jump all up in my
• 15:17
  DMS. Why you, why you, why you recommend that gay ass shit to
• 15:20
  me? Like, no, don't, don't do that
• 15:22
  because I I, I like, you want to see something gay, I will show
• 15:25
  you something gay, you know, when are you gay?
• 15:30
  But yeah, like, but yeah, like I started watching.
• 15:33
  I started watching that. There's also a.
• 15:35
  There's also a Do you remember this?
• 15:37
  You know, the show Legend of Vox Machina?
• 15:40
  Yeah. On Amazon basically like the DND
• 15:42
  show. Yeah, the anime show.
• 15:45
  Yeah, friend, friend of show Leon Rupert did the community
• 15:50
  stuff for that. OK, yeah, well I also started, I
• 15:54
  also started episode 1 of the of the new show from that same team
• 15:57
  called The Mighty 9. Not mighty #9.
• 16:01
  No, not, no, no, no, no, no, not that the mighty 9 in EIN like
• 16:05
  the German, the German word for no, but yeah, the mighty 9.
• 16:09
  The only problem is like, I, I must be watching it at the worst
• 16:12
  time of my life because every time I start trying to watch it
• 16:16
  15 minutes and I fall asleep. And I was not saying anything
• 16:20
  bad about the, the the first episode.
• 16:22
  The only thing I might be able to say is like, it's slow, which
• 16:25
  that might be why it's not hooking me.
• 16:26
  But I'm also, like I said, I'm also watching at a very bad time
• 16:29
  of the day for me. Like I'm watching it when when
• 16:32
  I, when my body is just like shut down.
• 16:34
  Please. It's fair.
• 16:38
  Yeah. And yeah, so, so, yeah, heated
• 16:44
  rivalry, like it's only there's only three episodes in.
• 16:46
  So like, so like it's brand new. So like, if you, if you're
• 16:49
  interested in watching it, check it out.
• 16:51
  I'm, I definitely do recommend it, Stephanie.
• 16:53
  And I'm just going to tell you something right now.
• 16:55
  If, if you're, if you're one of those, if you're one of those
• 16:58
  people that have perpetual horn dogs and like stuff and, and
• 17:00
  like, and like anything sexual, it doesn't matter if it's gay,
• 17:02
  straight, whatever. If anything sexual happens to
• 17:04
  you, like if anything sexual happens around you and you're
• 17:08
  one of those people that that, you know, have a man reaction
• 17:11
  about it. Like this show's going to do it
• 17:12
  for you. There's a, there's a, there's a
• 17:17
  big discourse on TikTok about this show right now.
• 17:21
  And, and all the, and all the guys talks about the guys
• 17:25
  watching all the, all the guys are always like, they're like,
• 17:28
  the videos are like they're watching it.
• 17:30
  They see something going on and then they immediately grab a
• 17:32
  pillow and put it on their lap. Whereas the, whereas the women
• 17:35
  see it like they get really excited about it and they like
• 17:37
  sit up and get close to the screen.
• 17:39
  I'm like, you know what, you know, women have it.
• 17:41
  So women have it so easy. Like they, they, they can, they
• 17:44
  can hide whenever they're, they're titillated like that,
• 17:46
  you know, no problem. But but the worst, but the worst
• 17:49
  we about the worst way we can find out they're doing is like,
• 17:51
  you know, like like they're, they're really amused or excited
• 17:54
  or or they start blushing. But us you already know, you
• 17:59
  already look at you, you horny dog look, look at you.
• 18:03
  What? What you watching?
• 18:04
  What you looking at? What you reading?
• 18:09
  What you listening to? Jeez, so speaking.
• 18:16
  Speaking of. Shows man react.
• 18:20
  Oh, OK, OK. We're moving on from man
• 18:22
  reactions, right? Is that so?
• 18:25
  I've been seeing these. I don't.
• 18:26
  I can't tell if it's real or not.
• 18:28
  Is there a new Star Trek show that's like a teen drama
• 18:31
  essentially? Yeah, Starfleet, Starfleet
• 18:33
  Academy is coming out in a couple of weeks, starts in
• 18:36
  January, it looks like. Yeah, it was supposed.
• 18:38
  To be the DW version of Star Trek, that's what.
• 18:41
  It was, I know, right? And I don't know how I feel
• 18:44
  about it, you know, because it's like I, I, I, I like the, I like
• 18:48
  the boldness and daringness to do a show like this.
• 18:51
  But I'm like, are we, are we ready for, for teen, for late
• 18:55
  teen angst or young adult angst in Star Trek?
• 18:58
  You know, but, but the, but the producers are assuring us that
• 19:01
  is going to be Star Trek, which, you know, like it's Star Trek.
• 19:05
  So I'm going to watch it, you know, like I have yet to run
• 19:08
  across a Star Trek series like an actual.
• 19:09
  Let me let me take that back. Let me rephrase that.
• 19:14
  I've yet to run across an officially released Star Trek
• 19:19
  project from CBS or Paramount, you know, that I hated.
• 19:24
  And that says a lot because like the Section 31 movie with with
• 19:28
  Michelle Yeoh that came out the beginning of this year for the
• 19:32
  most part. Yeah, that's not that's probably
• 19:34
  the the worst Star Trek project that's happened since the 5th
• 19:38
  Star Trek movie. That was that that was directed
• 19:40
  by William Shatner. That being said, I still found
• 19:44
  some way to enjoy that section 31 movie, you know, and so like,
• 19:49
  you know, if, if I, if I'm and I'm one of those people, I can
• 19:54
  write off something really quickly and you know, a lot of
• 19:55
  people will be like, well, we're on this.
• 19:57
  That's because you're so that's that's because you're so like
• 19:59
  attached to like Star Trek and stuff like that.
• 20:01
  I'm like, no, because like I absolutely hate, I absolutely
• 20:04
  hate Star Trek in the darkness. The one with been been
• 20:07
  Cumberbatch. I absolutely hate that movie.
• 20:10
  I think it's, I think it's not only a bad Star Trek movie, I
• 20:12
  think it's a bad sci-fi movie and it's a bad movie all
• 20:15
  together, you know? But I have not seen it, so I
• 20:17
  couldn't tell you either way. You know what?
• 20:20
  Here's the crazy part, though. You might like it.
• 20:24
  I like that the only Star Trek thing I've ever seen Lauren is
• 20:29
  that first reboot movie The. 2009 and that was a good movie,
• 20:32
  as a matter of fact. 2009 Star Trek great Into Darkness,
• 20:39
  questionable content, Star Trek Beyond great.
• 20:41
  You know, so you know, and you know, no matter, no matter how
• 20:45
  many times I try to frame it to like to like people, they're
• 20:48
  like, well, you're just mad. You you just don't like it
• 20:50
  because you're a Trekkie and you think you did something wrong.
• 20:52
  Yeah, it did something wrong. It was it was a bad movie.
• 20:54
  That's what it did wrong. It.
• 20:58
  Was a bad movie. That's funny.
• 21:01
  And I don't, I don't throw, I don't throw that around a lot.
• 21:04
  You know, we see it all the time on the Internet, you know, about
• 21:07
  something that's poorly or badly written, you know, like, you
• 21:10
  know, like bad, bad movie, bad video game.
• 21:13
  We, we throw this stuff around the Internet all the time.
• 21:16
  Like I, I don't throw it around enough.
• 21:19
  You know what I mean? I've seen I've seen a lot of
• 21:22
  like poor quality stuff and I've still been able to find some
• 21:26
  enjoyment on it. I've watched, I've watched some,
• 21:28
  I've watched some of the campiest stuff that I see the
• 21:31
  serious side of it. And my and friends and family
• 21:34
  are like, why are you watching this, this bullshit, you know?
• 21:39
  Yep, been there. Like Vampire Diaries?
• 21:44
  That is, that is definitely like like high drama.
• 21:46
  Oh. Dude that show's so good and bad
• 21:49
  at the same time. I love that show.
• 21:51
  Hey, rambles in the show, right? What?
• 21:54
  Kat Grandma's in that show, right?
• 21:56
  Yep, yeah. I mean, that's huh.
• 21:59
  She's Bonnie. She's the.
• 22:00
  Witch yeah, that makes it worth watching.
• 22:03
  Yeah, I mean. I never I never saw an episode,
• 22:06
  but I know exactly who Kat Graham is.
• 22:10
  Yeah, I mean. I like to film my graffiti on
• 22:13
  her. And hey, before anybody thinks
• 22:15
  that that something sucks like that was that that was the name
• 22:18
  of that was the name of a single she released.
• 22:21
  Yeah, I mean, I was also a fan of Candace King in that show
• 22:26
  too. Who?
• 22:28
  The the blonde girl plays Caroline in that show.
• 22:31
  Candace who king? Candace King or Kane King King
• 22:38
  crown. So oh, she pretty.
• 22:44
  Yeah, I was like obsessed with her for a little bit.
• 22:46
  That was fine. Pretty so.
• 22:52
  Oh, Paul Wesley was in The Vampire Diaries too.
• 22:55
  Like that's, that's the new place happening, Kirk in Strange
• 22:57
  New Worlds. So is Ian Somerhalter, who's.
• 23:01
  Oh yeah, man, he's. In something else later too.
• 23:05
  Wait, he was in what? He was in Vampire Diaries, but
• 23:08
  he's in something else too. I forget what else he's been.
• 23:10
  Yeah. So anyways, good show.
• 23:20
  The that show started going downhill after Season 4, I think
• 23:24
  because that's what I was. Like, that's what I heard.
• 23:26
  That's what I heard. Well, they did this whole the
• 23:28
  whole storyline about the originals, which were like the
• 23:31
  family. Became its own new show, which
• 23:33
  became its. Own showers, yeah, and but like
• 23:35
  season 4, maybe it was season 5, like concluded that storyline
• 23:40
  because they left, but it's because they're getting their
• 23:43
  own show and then they ran out of stuff to do, I feel like.
• 23:48
  And then, you know, Nina Dobrev, like the main character of the
• 23:51
  show, left. You left the show, right?
• 23:54
  Yeah. Yeah.
• 23:56
  And so like, what do you do now? And then they kind of made
• 23:59
  Caroline the main character. So which is the the blonde girl
• 24:03
  that you just looked at? So yeah, I mean, it was fine
• 24:07
  with me. More girls were fine with me,
• 24:10
  but. How's your wife feel about this?
• 24:16
  She knows I watched the show. It was before her though, so.
• 24:21
  Do you, do you, Do you and your wife have hall passes?
• 24:25
  No. Definitely not, no.
• 24:27
  No. For real.
• 24:29
  Yeah, for real. OK, I mean, I mean, OK, I guess
• 24:34
  the way I keep asking a question makes it sound like it's weird
• 24:37
  that you don't, but no, I'm not. That's not, that's not it.
• 24:40
  I feel, I feel like, I feel like we've the way you are about Zoe
• 24:44
  Kravitz. I'm pretty sure she'd give you a
• 24:46
  hall pass. I don't think so.
• 24:52
  I don't think so, Sir. That's fine.
• 24:56
  Do you know, do you know, do you know an actor that she's all
• 24:59
  about? Not, not really.
• 25:05
  I don't actually. Y'all need to talk more?
• 25:09
  Let me stop it. Stop analyzing your
• 25:13
  relationship. Hey, what's up, Nick?
• 25:15
  Look man, once once kids are involved, you don't talk at all
• 25:18
  except for like. We don't talk anymore.
• 25:22
  You sound like a Charlie Poof song right now.
• 25:24
  I mean, I, I think I talked to you more than I talked to her
• 25:27
  right now, so it's fine. Oh, that's.
• 25:28
  Oh, oh, I, I feel special. Thank you.
• 25:32
  But also, come on man. It's no, no.
• 25:36
  No, no, I know. Well, no, no, no.
• 25:38
  I know how I know how life. I know how life hits people once
• 25:41
  they start having kids and you've got multiple kids.
• 25:44
  Yeah, two of them. Yeah, still.
• 25:46
  And they're and they're kind of they're kind of in the same age
• 25:49
  bracket, you know, because, because what, your daughter's
• 25:52
  what, four or five now? Seven, OK, Four.
• 25:57
  And your son is 4, OK. We've been doing the show a long
• 26:01
  time around, I know. Yeah, yeah.
• 26:06
  Yeah, my, my son is like really getting into video games now,
• 26:10
  which is fun. And we play a lot of Ninja
• 26:15
  Turtles and Power Rangers and Mario.
• 26:18
  He loves Mario Wonder right now. What's not the love about Mario
• 26:22
  Wonder? I feel like Mario Wonder is
• 26:23
  probably one of the best Mario games that have come out in the
• 26:25
  last 15 years. Yeah, but he only likes to play
• 26:28
  certain levels and like when there's a water level, he like,
• 26:31
  won't play it. He refuses.
• 26:33
  He's bad at swimming. Oh, oh, he doesn't get the
• 26:36
  physics. So like he gets really
• 26:39
  frustrated, so we just avoid those.
• 26:41
  The Mario levels I can't stand are the ones where you guys do
• 26:44
  the phantom jumps, you know, like like do the jumps on a
• 26:46
  certain, like, you know, with the rhythm, but you know, like
• 26:49
  phantom jumps. So, you know, like the jump only
• 26:52
  counts if you do it on, on, on like a certain beat.
• 26:55
  Like those stages or those stages eat me alive.
• 26:58
  That's why I haven't beaten the game yet.
• 27:00
  Yeah, I mean, there were like a ton of stages in Rayman Legends
• 27:03
  that were like built around that, about the beat of the
• 27:06
  music. Yeah, yeah, the game is fun
• 27:11
  though. I, I, I, I love it.
• 27:13
  I, I've, like I said, I feel like it's one of the best Mario
• 27:15
  games that come out in a while. And, and I think I think it's
• 27:19
  because like it hits the nostalgia buttons for me because
• 27:22
  like this is, if I think about it, this is basically a sequel.
• 27:27
  If it's not a sequel to like Super Mario World, it's
• 27:32
  definitely a sequel to, to like the New Super Mario Brothers.
• 27:36
  It's definitely one of those. Yeah.
• 27:39
  I mean, I I would say it's more as a.
• 27:41
  Matter of fact, I feel like it's a mash up world.
• 27:42
  I feel like it's a mash up of new of New Super Mario, the New
• 27:44
  Super Mario Brothers games and the original Super Mario like
• 27:49
  timeline, you know? Yeah, my my son really loves the
• 27:54
  elephant suit so. Big boy Mario.
• 28:01
  Yeah, he loves, he loves the elephant suit.
• 28:03
  So like, I always have to like, carry extra ones around because
• 28:07
  when he died and he comes back as baby Mario, he gets upset.
• 28:11
  So I'm like, I got to, I got to pull out an elephant thing for
• 28:15
  him. Yeah, I mean, for me, I guess.
• 28:23
  I've been playing Hyrule Warrior, still trying to 100%
• 28:29
  it. Honestly, it's it's just like a
• 28:31
  turn your mind off and play a game at this point.
• 28:36
  But I'm almost I've almost 100% of it.
• 28:38
  So I'm just like, I might as well clean up this map.
• 28:41
  But they released new hard mode enemies like in the last update
• 28:47
  or whatever. So like now I'm like, do I do I
• 28:51
  finish those or not? I don't know.
• 28:53
  But it's fun. I'm enjoying it.
• 28:55
  But LeBron, I did play the first hour of Metroid Prime for Beyond
• 29:01
  Talk. To me.
• 29:04
  It's fine. It's Metroid Prime.
• 29:07
  It looks really good on the Switch to, let me tell you, OK?
• 29:10
  So remember all the stuff I said last week with you and Pat?
• 29:15
  Yeah. What are your thoughts about
• 29:17
  what I said with that? Give me give me your.
• 29:19
  Give me your thoughts. So I feel like there's a lot of
• 29:25
  exploration and scanning in this game.
• 29:27
  There's definitely a lot of scanning.
• 29:31
  The exploration feels a lot more like Metroid Prime one than two
• 29:36
  or three, in my opinion. There are NPCS that talk to you,
• 29:43
  but they're not like, they don't like annoy you.
• 29:48
  They like that one character. What Miles or whatever, he's in
• 29:54
  it for like 10 minutes and then you go off on a mission or
• 29:56
  whatever and you go explore or whatever.
• 29:58
  Or like you get to another planet and you're helping the,
• 30:02
  you're like taking on a quest for like the, the Federation or
• 30:09
  whatever, right? And so, but like they're not
• 30:11
  talking to you. You're doing things for them,
• 30:15
  but you're still exploring the planet.
• 30:18
  And then there's like an alien race, like, you know, she Samus
• 30:22
  gets psychic powers in this game, which is kind of cool,
• 30:24
  actually. And they're, they're imbued on
• 30:26
  her by those, by those aliens, right?
• 30:28
  Yeah, yeah. And like a psychic Jim gets put
• 30:32
  into her helmet. This is how she uses it.
• 30:34
  So what those, those are kind of cool.
• 30:38
  My only issue with that is like the it's, it's on the same visor
• 30:45
  as the scanning. So like you got to, I don't
• 30:50
  know, I'm just not used to the buttons I guess right now.
• 30:52
  But like it's on the same scanner of visors, the same
• 30:57
  visor as the scanner. So like sometimes I accidentally
• 31:02
  psychic instead of scan but. I.
• 31:05
  Don't know the the other thing too is like when you have the
• 31:08
  scanning visor on, everything is kind of like blue, like this
• 31:13
  monochromatic blue and the things you scan highlighted in
• 31:16
  green. And I kind of wish like the
• 31:20
  colors stayed in the things you scan were green or something,
• 31:24
  you know, 'cause like, I feel like I'm scanning things more
• 31:28
  often than not. And it's like, well, I want to
• 31:29
  see what the game looks like. I don't want to be behind this
• 31:31
  blue tint. But yeah, I mean, that's a,
• 31:35
  that's a personal thing for me, I guess.
• 31:37
  It's not like a game break or anything, but it does feel good
• 31:42
  to play. I think the, it's so funny
• 31:45
  'cause like when if people listen to PAL block, you've
• 31:50
  heard this 100 times by now. But like when Halo 4 came out
• 31:56
  it, it, everybody was like, oh, this looks just, this looks like
• 31:59
  Metroid Prime. You know, with like the
• 32:02
  Prometheans are like this, like have this oranges glow to them.
• 32:06
  And like, it had this really alien feel that Metroid had,
• 32:10
  Metroid Prime had. So now Metroid.
• 32:13
  So now Metroid Prime Beyond feels like feels like Halo.
• 32:16
  Yeah, but The thing is, is like people left Retro to go work on
• 32:20
  Halo 4, and then a lot of them came back to Retro to work on
• 32:25
  Metroid Prime. So, so, so there was some
• 32:29
  influence. Oh yeah, like the the whole
• 32:31
  jungle sequence in Halo 4 is, is like the jungle sequence here.
• 32:35
  Like you get into that jungle area and like it's like man,
• 32:39
  this, this is they even have the same shot out into the Vista
• 32:43
  with like the weird like structure that you look out at
• 32:47
  right, that you eventually have to go into.
• 32:49
  But I don't it's it's cool, man. I I like it.
• 32:56
  I like it so far, but I my mind is still on higher warriors and
• 33:04
  also destiny too because Renegades came out the Star Wars
• 33:08
  expansion man. Let me tell you he wants some T
• 33:15
  move Star Wars man. We got Kylo Ren at home, guys.
• 33:25
  Great value Star Wars. Yeah, yeah.
• 33:28
  I mean like the thing though is like Bungie worked with
• 33:31
  Lucasfilm to like create this story and like the story is
• 33:37
  Canon to Destiny but like dude the opening shot of the
• 33:41
  expansion is literally the opening shot of A New Hope.
• 33:44
  I was literally expecting a Star Wars crawl at some point.
• 33:47
  Like a like it's it's one of the characters ships being chased by
• 33:54
  a giant ship that's not a star destroyer.
• 33:58
  Don't worry Laron, it's not a * destroyer.
• 34:02
  It looks like a Star Destroyer, but it's not a star Destroyer.
• 34:04
  Wait. Wait, wait, wait, wait.
• 34:05
  Is it basically the scene from episode 4?
• 34:07
  Is it like? Is it that?
• 34:09
  Yeah, yeah, it's exactly what it is.
• 34:15
  Like where? Like they're being, you're being
• 34:16
  chased and then you get sucked into the tractor beam.
• 34:21
  Where are the droids? Where are the droids?
• 34:24
  I mean, there is, I mean that your Ghosts are the droids.
• 34:27
  So like they, you know, they brought blue in, which is the
• 34:31
  Drifter's Ghost. And the Drifter, he's been a
• 34:34
  character in Destiny for a while and he's been off and on.
• 34:36
  He's like the character they plug in when they don't know who
• 34:38
  else to plug into a storyline. OK.
• 34:42
  But like, yeah, so like you get sucked in to the and you're in
• 34:46
  the in this Star Destroyer essentially.
• 34:54
  But then like you go in there and it looks like the inside of
• 34:57
  a of like the death * when you get in there, like it's all that
• 35:00
  white and Gray kind of things with like the red kind of
• 35:04
  accents and whatever. There's a giant mech set, aren't
• 35:09
  ATS TS? Lauron?
• 35:11
  They aren't ATS TS. What are?
• 35:14
  They ATS TS, but you know, not ATS TS.
• 35:20
  There's a race of Cabal that definitely are not Stormtroopers
• 35:24
  and their leader is definitely not Darth Vader.
• 35:29
  And then, you know, before, dude, this isn't a spoiler
• 35:34
  because they showed it in the trailer, but there's a like the
• 35:36
  there's a cut scene at the end of the first mission where Timo
• 35:42
  Kylo Ren comes out and starts fighting Dollar General Bassila
• 35:47
  from Kotor. It's like they took her robe off
• 35:52
  and gave her armor, space armor, and they're like, we're done.
• 35:55
  We did it. They even gave her a yellow
• 35:57
  light Saber. Like Oh my God, I love, I love
• 36:03
  your description of all this. Dude the 1st.
• 36:07
  Mission is great value. Dude, the first mission is like
• 36:11
  you have to like after like once you get sucked into the tractor
• 36:15
  beam or whatever. Drifter gets kidnapped and he
• 36:18
  gets frozen and not carbonite. It's not carbonite, it's stasis,
• 36:24
  but it's carbonite. He's even in the Han Solo pose
• 36:27
  like. Whip the pose.
• 36:29
  Whip the pose. Yep.
• 36:31
  And you have to escort him back to the ship, right?
• 36:35
  So you're like fighting all these not stormtroopers and
• 36:39
  hiding behind this not carbonite to as covered while you shoot
• 36:43
  them. And then you get then you get
• 36:46
  not force powers called renegade powers, which is like we
• 36:53
  already. Have superpower, Bungie.
• 36:54
  Have fun. Come on.
• 36:55
  No. It's it's fun.
• 36:57
  Like Josh and I talked about it on tire casuals obviously last
• 37:01
  weekend, but like we're definitely on the low end of the
• 37:04
  spectrum in terms of how much we, you know, like it
• 37:08
  middlingly. A lot of people are actually
• 37:10
  really love it. Dude, there's a trench run.
• 37:14
  There's the cantina, right? With aliens drinking and like
• 37:18
  there's like dude, any Java sex barge and the scar and the
• 37:24
  Sarlacc pit are in this like but they're not.
• 37:27
  Why'd you say sex barge? You didn't know there was no
• 37:29
  sex, that's what. Josh and I have been calling it
• 37:31
  on entire cast, but like there's like they're literally selling
• 37:40
  Mandalorian armor in the shop right now.
• 37:44
  There's the. Like, I'm not, I'm not
• 37:46
  surprised. I'm honestly not surprised.
• 37:50
  So the the Titans get the Mandalorian from the show,
• 37:59
  Warlocks get book of Boba Fett, Boba Fett not normal Boba Fett
• 38:06
  but the book of Boba Fett, Boba Fett and then and then the
• 38:11
  hunters get Boca tan so. OK.
• 38:17
  I feel like that's a good, I feel like that's a good trade.
• 38:20
  Yeah, I mean, it's cool looking, but like this is the third or
• 38:23
  fourth set of Star Wars armor they've sold like straight up
• 38:25
  Star Wars armor. You can buy stormtroopers the
• 38:30
  the red, the red stormtroopers. You can buy the you know, the
• 38:37
  the set you got for pre ordering.
• 38:38
  This was Titan's got Darth Vader, Warlock's got Kylo Ren
• 38:43
  and Hunter's got General Grievous.
• 38:46
  The the armor sets. And it's like, man.
• 38:50
  And also you get an X wing with this expansion, not an X wing,
• 38:59
  I'm sorry. Not look like an X wing.
• 39:02
  It is an X wing and the man the Mandalorian ship from the show
• 39:07
  is also in this. Slave one, no.
• 39:10
  No the. Oh no.
• 39:11
  No, no, no, no, no. That's right.
• 39:12
  That that got destroyed. It's not called the Slave one
• 39:15
  anymore, it's called Boba Fett's ship.
• 39:19
  What is this called? Boba Fett's Corvette or Fett's
• 39:21
  Vet? Like that song?
• 39:22
  I don't know man. That would have been that would
• 39:25
  have been cool, but they probably got copyright
• 39:26
  copyrighted. Probably.
• 39:28
  But yeah, it's like, like it's cool.
• 39:32
  Like The thing is, it's like the story is cool, like.
• 39:36
  But the the way that Bungie has been operating lately and like
• 39:42
  the amount of staff they've lost and the people who have left
• 39:45
  there and of the teams being split between Marathon and this
• 39:49
  now, right? Like you can't, it feels like
• 39:53
  you can't tell the story in the six missions they give you.
• 39:58
  The expansion is 6 missions long.
• 40:03
  I mean, you get a dungeon and a bunch of in game activities and
• 40:05
  in game stuff. But like the main kind of core
• 40:08
  campaign is 6 missions long and like they're trying to tell this
• 40:12
  cool story about this. Not Sith character named Dredge
• 40:17
  and Bale and he's like this like he's been a character in the
• 40:23
  lore for a little bit right. But you team up with the non
• 40:28
  Jedi order called the Praxic order, which is where the team U
• 40:34
  Bastila comes in. She's like your babysitter
• 40:37
  essentially. And like it's trying to tell
• 40:42
  this cool story and they try to do it in six missions when it
• 40:46
  probably should have been, you know, spread over like 2-3 like
• 40:53
  witch queen sized expansions, right, Like in these are like
• 40:56
  really small expansions because the team isn't big enough to do
• 40:58
  it, you know, so I don't know, it's it's fine.
• 41:05
  It's I don't think it's great. A lot of people do think it's
• 41:08
  great, but you know, it just dude, as soon as that opening
• 41:14
  shot came in from like A New Hope, I was like, Oh my gosh, is
• 41:18
  this really what we're doing? That's really what we're doing.
• 41:22
  And then there's a trench run, man, Like a literal trench run.
• 41:27
  It's like, what are you? What are you doing?
• 41:30
  What are you like, cool. But like, I don't know, man.
• 41:38
  I don't know. And then Josh and I were talking
• 41:39
  about like, maybe maybe they're trying to build destiny for a
• 41:42
  different audience now because like.
• 41:46
  It's possible. Oh and oh, apparently they they
• 41:51
  reached a settlement with that with that artist that was
• 41:53
  plagiarized. In America, I saw that, yeah.
• 41:58
  We don't, I don't know a lot of details.
• 42:00
  All I know is like she, she came out and said that, said that
• 42:04
  they reached a satisfactory agreement with her.
• 42:08
  Good. Yeah, good, definitely good.
• 42:11
  Yeah, what I've been hearing though is that marathon, they've
• 42:15
  really cleaned it up and like it.
• 42:17
  It it's like really, really good.
• 42:20
  Now, from what I've been hearing, a lot of people, you
• 42:24
  know, they're you're NDA from talking about this closed alpha
• 42:29
  or whatever. Closed.
• 42:31
  I guess it's an alpha, but like people are still talking about
• 42:34
  it. So I don't know.
• 42:38
  We'll see. I I think they have definitely
• 42:41
  benefited from ARC Raiders coming out first though, I can
• 42:44
  tell you that for sure, because they can see what that game's
• 42:47
  doing, right. And they've seemed to add some
• 42:49
  things that ARC Raiders was doing, yeah.
• 42:52
  I I agree with you on that one. Like proximity chat, maybe,
• 42:56
  which wasn't in the game in an extraction shooter.
• 42:59
  You're not putting proximity chat in a extraction shooter,
• 43:04
  you know. Yeah.
• 43:05
  I don't know man, whatever, but I've, I've heard marathon is
• 43:09
  great. I've also been hearing that
• 43:11
  Destiny 3 is in development, but it's a long way away.
• 43:17
  If they survive marathon's launch, which they they'll, they
• 43:22
  will, but I don't know. I've I've punched you in a weird
• 43:27
  spot, man. I don't know, just I'm just not
• 43:33
  into Destiny right now. Like I don't know it it just it
• 43:37
  feels. You and I are doing that doing
• 43:39
  that thing right now because like I'm just not in the Monster
• 43:41
  Hunter right now. And and the and the showcase,
• 43:44
  the Monster Hunter showcase that was supposed to happen
• 43:46
  yesterday, the 8th of December didn't happen because like the
• 43:49
  they had to postpone it because of the the typhoon that's about
• 43:51
  to about to hit Japan. Yeah, but we don't have a date
• 43:55
  for it. But that but that but that that
• 43:58
  showcase was probably going to get me back in line, you know,
• 44:02
  with Monster Hunter. And I did play Monster Hunter
• 44:04
  recently, you know, with some buddies of mine.
• 44:06
  And the PC side seems to be performing very well.
• 44:12
  Not sure. I don't think they fixed
• 44:14
  everything. I just think that, you know,
• 44:16
  like, like my hardware finally caught up with what was going
• 44:18
  on. Yeah, well, I'm, I hope
• 44:26
  everybody's safe over there. I yeah.
• 44:29
  I mean, I'm kind of surprised at the fall off from Monster Hunter
• 44:32
  honestly, because I feel like Monster Hunter World had like a
• 44:34
  longer, like people were playing it longer.
• 44:38
  I think Monster Hunter world was just in the in was is in the
• 44:41
  conversation longer, you know, because because monster
• 44:45
  underworld, you know, like like it got new people into Monster
• 44:49
  Hunter. Yeah.
• 44:51
  And I just feel like it was in the conversation longer.
• 44:53
  And you know, Capcom and you know, and you know, like, yeah,
• 44:56
  like, like it was a brand new engine for Monster Hunter World
• 44:58
  that, you know, like, just like with the engine with Monster
• 45:00
  Hunter Rise, you know, but for some strange reason, like, you
• 45:05
  know, like, and world had this problems too, like when they
• 45:07
  rolled out on PCI. Don't remember them being
• 45:10
  anywhere as atrocious as like what wild was, what wild was for
• 45:13
  me. But I but yeah, I remember there
• 45:17
  were some, there were some hiccups and some glitches and
• 45:19
  stuff like that, you know, but nothing like it was, it was just
• 45:22
  like it was just glaring. It was just like slapping me in
• 45:25
  the face like how how poorly optimized for PC Wilds was.
• 45:30
  Yeah, it's. I guess that's why we got I
• 45:34
  guess that's our guys nominee for best PlayStation game,
• 45:37
  right? Because it because it play, it
• 45:38
  play like a dream on PS-5 Pro. That's yeah, that's what I
• 45:43
  heard. Oh, did I tell you I replaced my
• 45:47
  PlayStation finally? You did, yeah.
• 45:50
  Have you actually turned it? On no still in the box I've I've
• 45:56
  been too busy playing Switch games, man, I got, you know, I
• 45:59
  got I'll play it eventually, especially if that 2D2 point 5D
• 46:05
  God of War games supposedly being announced at the game
• 46:07
  awards, which is one of my predictions.
• 46:09
  Spoiler alert ahead I guess, but.
• 46:13
  Is it a remake? No, it's the.
• 46:15
  It's a like a I don't know if it's like a side scrolling
• 46:20
  action game or like a metroidvania or whatever, but
• 46:23
  it's supposed. It was a Metroidvania.
• 46:25
  You're going to hate it. The rumor is is that they are
• 46:28
  telling the story that happens between God of War 3 and 2018.
• 46:34
  OK, how he gets to, you know, the North?
• 46:37
  It's a Valhalla. Yeah, essentially.
• 46:42
  So I don't know, I I'd play it. I dude I played the dumb like
• 46:47
  that dumb phone game that came out like on the flip phones the
• 46:51
  God of War game. I don't remember that.
• 46:54
  Oh man, it was not very good. So you were you were hardcore
• 46:57
  because I don't remember. I loved dude at that time like I
• 46:59
  was. I was really into God of War
• 47:02
  that original trilogy. He was eating.
• 47:04
  He was eating everything God of War was putting on the plate.
• 47:06
  Dude I bought APSP for God of War.
• 47:08
  Hey, nothing wrong with that. I know, but I mean that was the
• 47:12
  game I bought APS. Both of those gutted war games
• 47:13
  on the PSP were great. Yeah, Chains of Olympus and
• 47:16
  Ghost of Sparta. Were, yeah.
• 47:18
  Great games and then they ported them with PS3 and they were
• 47:22
  pretty good there too. Like a collection.
• 47:28
  Good times huh? Then they ruined it by making it
• 47:31
  another over the shoulder third person action game with RPG
• 47:34
  elements. I'm just kidding.
• 47:38
  They didn't ruin it. It's fine.
• 47:40
  It's not my favorite, but it's fine.
• 47:44
  All right, Speaking of fine, Laurent, let's let's let's talk
• 47:49
  about this Netflix deal that happened or is happening kind of
• 47:53
  happening if Paramount. What is going on if?
• 47:55
  Paramount doesn't do the hostile takeover thing.
• 47:58
  Yeah, I was about to say because, because, Because
• 48:01
  Paramount definitely pulled like a draw four out in their asses.
• 48:04
  Yeah. So right now Netflix has struck
• 48:08
  a deal worth $82.7 billion billion dollars.
• 48:13
  Jeez. To acquire Warner Brothers
• 48:18
  Discovery, including their major game studios, Netflix has agreed
• 48:22
  to buy Warner Brothers Discovery for $82.7 billion, giving
• 48:26
  control of hit movies, shows and game studios like Netherrealm,
• 48:31
  Rocksteady, Avalanche and TT Games.
• 48:36
  This deal, which still needs regulatory approval, aims to
• 48:40
  combine Netflix's global streaming reach with the Warner
• 48:43
  Brothers famous movies and shows.
• 48:45
  It also marks a big step for Netflix into video games,
• 48:48
  expanding beyond its current small mobile style games with
• 48:51
  your subscription. Also, it's worth noting that
• 48:56
  Paramount, like we said earlier, it might try to do a hostile
• 49:01
  takeover. But as of right now, Netflix is
• 49:05
  going to own Warner Brothers, the game Studios, Discovery and
• 49:12
  HBO Max, the others competing streaming service.
• 49:17
  How do you feel about this, Loran?
• 49:18
  How you how you feel about this? I'm in this weird, I'm in this
• 49:24
  weird spot because like, I'm not number one, this number one, If
• 49:30
  this happens, if this happens, we got another mega Corp on our
• 49:33
  hands. Well, you did you see that
• 49:37
  Netflix, I forget where I saw this today, but like Netflix was
• 49:41
  thinking about buying Disney also they wanted to like try to
• 49:46
  buy Disney. When at what point?
• 49:48
  Like recently. Wait, wait, does Disney own ABC
• 49:55
  or does ABC own Disney? Which is Disney?
• 49:59
  Disney own ABC, Yeah. So how are they going to do
• 50:02
  that? How?
• 50:05
  I I don't know man, you. Know what?
• 50:08
  Contrary to popular belief, Disney is actually one of the
• 50:12
  cheaper companies to buy because they're, you don't say their
• 50:16
  stock prices are so low because for multiple reasons.
• 50:22
  But the two major reasons is they keep investing all their
• 50:24
  money into the theme park. So they're never really making
• 50:26
  money because, you know, like, I mean, they're making money, but
• 50:29
  not like, yeah, not as much as the shareholders would like them
• 50:33
  to. They're investing in Disney Plus
• 50:35
  and Hulu, right? Which I know people have their
• 50:40
  feelings about those services. And the other thing is that
• 50:44
  ESPN, they own ESPN and ESPN loses the money.
• 50:49
  But ESPN was ESPN was part of AB CS Network though, right?
• 50:53
  Yeah, yeah. And ESPN, especially after this
• 50:57
  NFL deal they struck for Monday Night Football, They're like
• 51:00
  hemorrhaging money and that's why they've laid so many people
• 51:02
  off last year. That makes sense.
• 51:08
  And so, yeah, and also like they own Fox Sports also, which is
• 51:15
  interesting because they own all the Fox stuff.
• 51:21
  But this the the big, the big thing was like, I think Apple
• 51:27
  was thinking about buying Disney at some point because Tim Cook
• 51:32
  and Bob Iger are like really good friends.
• 51:36
  And because they they like, I don't know what they work
• 51:40
  together at some point. And they are like really good
• 51:42
  friends. And Bob Iger is the CEO of
• 51:45
  Disney, for those who don't know.
• 51:48
  And Tim Cook is CEO of Apple and when they were building Apple TV
• 51:53
  Plus or whatever, they were going to maybe strike a deal to
• 51:56
  buy Disney and be super mega Corp I.
• 52:00
  Didn't know about that. I didn't.
• 52:02
  Yeah, I mean, that's been a rumor for like a decade though,
• 52:05
  so. I mean, yeah, anyways, Netflix,
• 52:13
  Warner Brothers, DC, they're going to own Batman and stuff,
• 52:18
  so. I don't.
• 52:22
  I don't even know. Look, man, if you're going to
• 52:25
  put all your stuff, if you're going to put all that stuff on
• 52:27
  Netflix, then I have this one less subscription I'm going to
• 52:29
  need. Of course it's going to cost
• 52:34
  like triple what it costs now, but you know.
• 52:37
  Yeah, personally, I don't personally, I don't think the, I
• 52:40
  don't think Netflix is going to get it.
• 52:41
  Like, I feel like, I feel like, I feel like I feel like
• 52:44
  Paramount's going to win this one, which is wild because
• 52:47
  Paramount just like wrapped up something.
• 52:50
  What did they wrap up? Paramount Skydance.
• 52:56
  Yeah. Skydance.
• 52:57
  Sundance Skydance, I think. Yeah, nothing that thing.
• 53:00
  Happened Skydance is not nearly as big as Warner Brothers.
• 53:05
  True, but I mean still. Yeah.
• 53:08
  Plus like that. Plus, like Paramount, Paramount
• 53:11
  has the big NFL deal. Like, you know, they they have,
• 53:16
  I mean, plus Paramount plus is like hemorrhaging money for
• 53:21
  them. So like, I guess they would
• 53:22
  technically be the smaller company to buy Warner Brothers.
• 53:25
  So I don't know, man, it's all, it's all messy.
• 53:29
  Yeah, who knows? Who knows?
• 53:32
  I just. We're just, we're just, we're
• 53:34
  just bugs out here, like, like, you know, unaware of the,
• 53:37
  unaware of the monolith, you know?
• 53:40
  Yeah. I mean, look, acquisitions
• 53:42
  happen, obviously. I think the one upside Netflix
• 53:48
  would have in terms of the gaming side of things at least
• 53:52
  is that I feel like they know, I don't want to say they know
• 53:58
  games, but like they have a better foot in the door in terms
• 54:01
  of the game space than Paramount does, right?
• 54:03
  Like Paramount doesn't really have anything in terms of games,
• 54:08
  right? But I guess Viacom, I get, you
• 54:11
  know, like they have like Nickelodeon stuff, but like
• 54:13
  they're not really in the game space where Netflix had a AAA
• 54:19
  studio that was open for two years, Joseph Staten ran for two
• 54:23
  years and then they close it down because, oh, games take
• 54:29
  time and a lot of money. So but you know, you get games
• 54:36
  with with their subscription and there's some pretty good games
• 54:38
  on there. There's some weird games on
• 54:39
  there, but there's some pretty good ones on there.
• 54:40
  Like Oxen Free is on there, which is a great game and
• 54:45
  there's a that Ninja Turtles tactical takedown was on there,
• 54:48
  which is the tactics game that just came to switch in
• 54:52
  PlayStation, I think. But you know, I I feel like they
• 54:59
  can't do any worse than Warner Brothers has done with the video
• 55:02
  game space recently, right? Closing studios and canceling.
• 55:05
  Yeah, you're. Right about that.
• 55:06
  You know, hey, our game as a service featuring the Suicide
• 55:11
  Squad failed. Let's make another DC game as a
• 55:13
  service. So I don't know, but that means
• 55:20
  they also own Mortal Kombat. Now was that you know, I wonder
• 55:26
  man, there should be some really interesting guest characters in
• 55:28
  there. You get them Stranger Thing
• 55:31
  characters in there Mortal Kombat.
• 55:34
  Come on. I mean, I would not be surprised
• 55:37
  because everybody, everybody's talking about I guess Vecna or
• 55:40
  whatever that that creature is. Sure, I know what you're talking
• 55:44
  about. Yeah, yeah, like that.
• 55:47
  Yeah, that part. I don't I don't care about
• 55:50
  Stranger things. I we watched like half of the
• 55:54
  first season. I was like, I'm not into this.
• 55:57
  So any other thoughts on this Netflix acquisition?
• 56:03
  Like what I mean what are your like main?
• 56:06
  I legit, I legit feel like, I legit feel like I don't have
• 56:09
  like I, I, it's, it's just every time I look there is like a new
• 56:13
  merger, an acquisition or something happening in the
• 56:15
  streaming space. And it's like, and it's like,
• 56:17
  look, I just want this stuff to equal out to like get back to
• 56:20
  the point of where we were cutting cable to like make this
• 56:23
  stuff viable, you know? Like it's it, you know, like,
• 56:26
  it's, it's like Mean Girls, like stop trying to make fetch a
• 56:28
  thing, you know? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 56:36
  I mean, I think. This is.
• 56:39
  What everything was just like on Netflix and then maybe Hulu.
• 56:43
  Right. And maybe the.
• 56:44
  Company's. Like, yeah, I remember back in
• 56:46
  the day when I remember back in the day when it was when
• 56:48
  everyone literally had Netflix, Hulu and and Prime Video.
• 56:53
  Yeah, well, I mean, it wasn't even Prime Video yet.
• 56:56
  It was like, because like Fox, NBC and Disney all invested in
• 57:00
  Hulu, right? They all own 1/3 of it.
• 57:02
  So like, they all had their stuff in this one streaming
• 57:05
  service. Yeah, like I I, I wore my
• 57:09
  Netflix subscription out back in the day.
• 57:12
  Yeah, I know man. There's.
• 57:13
  Some and then and then, yeah, and then it just got to a point
• 57:16
  where it was like, I don't know, like events, like I saw a shift
• 57:21
  in something because like, like I said, I wore my Netflix
• 57:25
  subscription out when I was an active subscriber for Netflix.
• 57:28
  And then somewhere along the way, like I really started
• 57:32
  watching a lot of content on Hulu.
• 57:34
  And Netflix is kind of like an afterthought, you know, like I
• 57:36
  would still log into Netflix and watch stuff, you know.
• 57:39
  But then when Netflix started, when Netflix started rolling out
• 57:42
  all these, all these TV shows and stuff like that, I think
• 57:45
  that's kind of where like I kind of like backed off of Netflix
• 57:48
  for a little while. And, you know, like Hulu became,
• 57:51
  I think because, because like I was using Netflix as as a as a,
• 57:54
  as a reruns engine, you know, like, like any show, like I
• 57:57
  either want to rewatch or show that was no longer in
• 58:00
  production, you know, like, but I want to watch it that, you
• 58:03
  know, I went to, I went to Netflix for it.
• 58:05
  And then, and then Hulu kind of took up that space.
• 58:09
  And then Hulu also started because Hulu also had network
• 58:12
  affiliated stuff on there, you know, like, yeah, like, you
• 58:14
  know, Agents of SHIELD came on, came on Tuesday nights, you
• 58:16
  know, like, I can get up. I can get up Wednesday morning
• 58:18
  and watch if I go to work, you know, you know, stuff like that,
• 58:21
  you know, And then, and I mean, technically Hulu still has that,
• 58:26
  but it feels, it feels so diluted compared to what it used
• 58:28
  to be, you know? Yeah, I mean.
• 58:32
  And then, you know, Netflix started making their own TV
• 58:34
  shows, making their own shows and their own, their own movies.
• 58:38
  Actually, that's when Netflix kind of like lost me when they
• 58:41
  started making their own movies. Yeah, because, like, their
• 58:44
  original shows weren't terrible when they first started because
• 58:46
  there's only like one or two a year, right?
• 58:48
  Because like, House of Cards was really the thing that broke
• 58:50
  Netflix into like the. House of Cards is, yeah, that's
• 58:53
  what put them on the map, that's what that's.
• 58:55
  Really good until the last season.
• 58:58
  Yeah, that's what put them on the map.
• 59:00
  And it actually made them a contender with HBO because HBO
• 59:03
  was HBO was where HBO and Showtime and stars where it was
• 59:08
  at for like original content, but they but they were paywalled
• 59:11
  cable television networks, you know, You know.
• 59:14
  By the way, Speaker stars, did you see that there's a new
• 59:18
  Spartacus show? Out Yeah, yeah, yeah, I, yeah,
• 59:21
  I, yeah, I I need to watch it. I need to watch it.
• 59:24
  I have I have access to the first two episodes.
• 59:25
  I need to watch it. Yeah, because.
• 59:27
  But now I'm sitting here like, man, do I need to rewatch, you
• 59:30
  know, the entire Spartacus running because I thought Asher
• 59:32
  died in in in the in the original show.
• 59:35
  I don't think he died, I think he got away, but like severely
• 59:38
  injured. OK.
• 59:40
  I don't remember. I don't really remember though,
• 59:42
  I'm going to be honest. It's been so long.
• 59:44
  So, so it's, it's so it's crazy because basically it's kind of
• 59:47
  doing the thing that that gladiator did, like Gladiator 2
• 59:50
  did you know, the slave has now become like, you know, like,
• 59:53
  like, like, like a dominus. Yeah.
• 59:57
  Astro was always Astro was always one of the coolest
• 1:00:00
  characters in the in the original Spartacus series too.
• 1:00:02
  I I liked him because he was, he was slimy, but he was cool.
• 1:00:06
  Yeah, he was like, really Schemey.
• 1:00:09
  Because everybody was all about cryxis and that was like, Nah,
• 1:00:11
  like cryxis. All cryxis is just like a, a, a
• 1:00:14
  muscle beast. You know, that that's, that's
• 1:00:16
  easy on the eyes. But man, Asher.
• 1:00:18
  Asher is just so fucking cool. Yeah.
• 1:00:22
  Yeah, that show is really good, man.
• 1:00:23
  Yeah, I, I might need to rewatch Blood in this blood.
• 1:00:26
  I I might need to rewatch the original Spartacus series
• 1:00:29
  because I, I think that entire run was good.
• 1:00:31
  You know, like, and, and you know what, that's another thing
• 1:00:33
  too. Like, you know, like how I was
• 1:00:35
  talking earlier about like he did rivalry and about and about
• 1:00:37
  like how like how like charged up those sex scenes are.
• 1:00:40
  God, Spartacus was the ones that, you know, like, oh man,
• 1:00:43
  you have to watch that late at night.
• 1:00:45
  Dude and like all the sex scenes were in like slow motion too.
• 1:00:48
  Yeah. Like why is it in slow motion
• 1:00:51
  with this weird filter? You know, you know, you know,
• 1:00:54
  watch that late at night because, because if no one knew,
• 1:00:57
  if if no, if someone walked by, they didn't know anything about
• 1:01:00
  the show, they would swear you were like a perv.
• 1:01:04
  Yeah. I tell you what, though, when I
• 1:01:08
  tell you what, though, when, when, when, when Spartacus like
• 1:01:11
  hooked up with with what's her, what's his name's wife and she
• 1:01:15
  didn't even know who he was. Oh yeah, 'cause he had a mask
• 1:01:18
  on. Yeah, I was like, oh, I was
• 1:01:21
  like, man, you. Yeah, I was just sparting as a
• 1:01:24
  beast for that one. Yeah, that was yeah, man.
• 1:01:29
  'Cause cause 'cause she was talking cash shit about him and
• 1:01:32
  his family that first episode, yeah.
• 1:01:34
  And especially after like his whole house got broken.
• 1:01:38
  Yep. Yeah, man, come up and says come
• 1:01:42
  up as this crazy man. Yeah, I love, I Love Lucy
• 1:01:46
  Lawless's character in it. Like, you know, man.
• 1:01:52
  Yeah. OK, moving on.
• 1:01:55
  Moving on. So yeah, man, Netflix by Warner
• 1:02:01
  Brothers. I wonder if they'll wear HBO Max
• 1:02:04
  into Netflix or if they'll keep. I can't imagine they're going to
• 1:02:07
  keep 2 streaming services that infrastructure.
• 1:02:09
  Alone. No, no, I feel like, I feel like
• 1:02:11
  they are brazen enough that they would keep 2 streaming services.
• 1:02:16
  Yeah, but that infrastructure man is going to kill them.
• 1:02:19
  Yeah. I don't know.
• 1:02:22
  Yeah, but they're brazen enough to do this crap.
• 1:02:25
  They they sure are, man. Yeah.
• 1:02:28
  I mean, I'm just thinking of all the IP they own now, right?
• 1:02:31
  Like because like obviously DC, but like even like Harry Potter
• 1:02:35
  and Lord of the Rings, like all that stuff now.
• 1:02:39
  And man, so crazy how much they own now.
• 1:02:44
  Well, isn't Lord of the Rings back on the ice?
• 1:02:47
  Well, I, I, I guess technically, well, Embracer Group owns it,
• 1:02:52
  which is crazy or whatever they're called now, but Amazon
• 1:02:55
  is still doing the show. So I guess, I guess it's a free
• 1:03:02
  agent. But like they own the original
• 1:03:04
  trilogy, I guess in The Hobbit movie.
• 1:03:06
  So I guess that's which is crazy because like, you know how
• 1:03:12
  Disney owns Lucasfilm, right? The Indiana Jones movies, except
• 1:03:16
  for the last one, aren't on Disney Plus.
• 1:03:19
  This is weird. I remember you told me about
• 1:03:21
  that. That's this is so weird.
• 1:03:22
  Because they're owned by Paramount, they're distributed.
• 1:03:26
  That's right, Paramount. That's right.
• 1:03:27
  Paramount has the has the rights to those.
• 1:03:30
  That's right. So they're all on Amazon Prime
• 1:03:32
  right now apparently, because I went to look for them and they
• 1:03:39
  weren't there. RIP.
• 1:03:43
  All right, I don't know how much you care about this next story.
• 1:03:50
  I actually only had it in here because Josh was going to join
• 1:03:52
  us tonight. Fallout's original creator, Tim
• 1:03:57
  Kaine has returned to Obsidian full time and says fans won't
• 1:04:04
  guess what he's working on. Tim Kaine is the Co creator of
• 1:04:09
  the original Fallout. He's rejoined Obsidian
• 1:04:12
  Entertainment as a full time in person employee.
• 1:04:16
  Kane, who Co directed The Outer Worlds and consulted on its
• 1:04:19
  sequel, has been working remotely on a contract basis
• 1:04:22
  since 2020. He revealed he's now working on
• 1:04:25
  a secret unannounced projects while Obsidian continues its
• 1:04:29
  busy 2025 year with their releases of A Vow, The Outer
• 1:04:35
  Worlds 2 and Grounded 2. So I mean, if if someone's going
• 1:04:44
  to work on work on a new Fallout game, it's going to be Obsidian,
• 1:04:47
  right? Like I would imagine, you know,
• 1:04:52
  with. The success, There's no
• 1:04:53
  disputing that. Yeah, I mean, like with the
• 1:04:55
  success of the show right in the success of 76 happening right
• 1:05:01
  now, like the resurgence of 76 and you know, Fallout 5 being
• 1:05:07
  like 37 years away essentially from Bethesda.
• 1:05:11
  Like I'm sure they want to get some sort of Fallout project
• 1:05:13
  out. You know.
• 1:05:16
  I wonder if it I wonder if they're remaking the original
• 1:05:19
  Fallout or like making a like a almost like a wasteland style,
• 1:05:25
  you know, top down kind of survival game like those
• 1:05:30
  original 2 Fallouts. It's.
• 1:05:32
  Hard to who knows? Like it's hard to speculate.
• 1:05:34
  Yeah, I don't know. I'm not a Fallout person.
• 1:05:38
  I've literally only had this story in here because Josh was
• 1:05:41
  going to be here. So I guess we'll talk about this
• 1:05:46
  mystery statue from The Game Awards.
• 1:05:48
  Have you seen this statue, Laurent?
• 1:05:51
  I heard about it, but I I didn't expend any energy like like
• 1:05:54
  looking into it. Oh man.
• 1:05:56
  Dude, it's so weird. Jeff Keeley's mysterious demonic
• 1:06:01
  monolith teaser for The Game Awards has fans guessing wildly
• 1:06:06
  what it's teasing, but it's officially not teasing Diablo 4,
• 1:06:09
  Elder Scrolls 6, or God of War, according to their respective
• 1:06:15
  studios. While some speculate it's a it
• 1:06:18
  could hint at a Doom related announcement or others, or other
• 1:06:22
  hellish themed games, no concrete details have emerged.
• 1:06:26
  Bloomberg's Jason Schreyer confirmed that it's quote a good
• 1:06:29
  one without revealing more, leaving the gaming community
• 1:06:33
  buzzing with theories and anticipation ahead of the events
• 1:06:37
  event later this week. Of all the times I want to tell,
• 1:06:43
  I want to tell, try to shut his whore mouth, this is one of
• 1:06:46
  those times. I know man.
• 1:06:48
  And did you see the response? Like people were asking him like
• 1:06:51
  what it was and stuff and he gave some like dickish response
• 1:06:55
  on like Neogaf or whatever. It's called.
• 1:06:57
  No, I didn't. No, I didn't know about that,
• 1:06:58
  no. Yeah, man, it was funny.
• 1:07:00
  He's. Like I'm not.
• 1:07:01
  Revealing anything or whatever. Like dude, stop feeling yourself
• 1:07:05
  man, come on. Yeah, I mean, I like, I respect
• 1:07:09
  what he does right on the writing side and the reporting
• 1:07:13
  side, but he's like way too into himself and thinks he's like the
• 1:07:17
  best. It's like it's really annoying
• 1:07:18
  looks. Like stop stop stop stuff
• 1:07:20
  flating yourself man. Dude, it's not this.
• 1:07:24
  It's undignified. Yeah, I know.
• 1:07:27
  It's, I don't know, man. I do wonder what this this thing
• 1:07:33
  is teasing though, because it definitely, it definitely has
• 1:07:39
  some doom looking things going on on it.
• 1:07:44
  I I know people thought this was initially like a new Diablo 4
• 1:07:47
  expansion. I don't really know though.
• 1:07:52
  I, I, I, I'm not really sure what this is, to be honest with
• 1:07:57
  you. I'm trying to think of what else
• 1:08:00
  it could possibly be. I mean, what other hellish games
• 1:08:04
  are there besides Doom and I guess Quake could be one, right?
• 1:08:08
  Yeah, technically. I doubt Valve would put Half
• 1:08:17
  Life 3 in like this. I you know.
• 1:08:23
  Don't. Don't.
• 1:08:23
  Don't start. Do not start, man.
• 1:08:25
  Don't. But yeah man, I don't really
• 1:08:29
  know. I was thinking like maybe it
• 1:08:33
  could be Remnant 3. I don't remember it from the
• 1:08:36
  ashes right, like I remember people love that love that
• 1:08:39
  second game, at least like I was thinking maybe it could be like
• 1:08:42
  a third one of those, because that game is very hellish.
• 1:08:47
  Some of that game is, but that I mean that would be like one of
• 1:08:52
  my only guesses. I don't I don't really know man,
• 1:08:56
  but statues, weird statues, weird.
• 1:09:02
  I got to look up hell games because I I I hellish games.
• 1:09:10
  That didn't help at all. That did not help one bit.
• 1:09:19
  Oh, Devil Daggers could be Dante's a remake of Dante's
• 1:09:25
  Inferno, that'd be cool. It's a possibility.
• 1:09:32
  Yeah, I don't know, man. I can't.
• 1:09:35
  Yeah, I, I'm not, I'm not in a place to speculate.
• 1:09:37
  I I am not. Yeah, I I don't know survival
• 1:09:40
  horror games enough to know. Doom just came out, so I doubt
• 1:09:44
  it would be that. I don't know, man.
• 1:09:49
  Speaking of Game Awards La Ron, let's predict some things.
• 1:09:56
  OK. So let's make 5 predictions,
• 1:10:00
  including one crazy prediction. Crazy prediction.
• 1:10:09
  OK, I can play along with this, OK.
• 1:10:12
  Yeah, it's Game Awards are this week.
• 1:10:15
  So I think I don't know how we're going to do that, but
• 1:10:21
  essentially we're going to try to guess what's going to happen.
• 1:10:26
  And I'm going to guess here's here's my crazy one.
• 1:10:31
  Don't guess the obvious. Do not guess the obvious.
• 1:10:33
  Here's my here's my crazy one. OK, because I don't think it
• 1:10:37
  would happen twice. I feel like Xbox is going to
• 1:10:42
  reveal their entire anniversary line up with the new Xbox.
• 1:10:49
  That is crazy. That is crazy, I know, but
• 1:10:53
  they're crazy enough to do it. They're crazy enough to kill an
• 1:10:55
  entire fan base thing, and they're crazy enough to kill the
• 1:10:58
  next Xbox. I don't know has has there been
• 1:11:03
  announcements like this at the Game Awards though?
• 1:11:05
  I don't think there ever has. Where they revealed the Xbox
• 1:11:07
  Series X and hopefully too. I thought that was their own.
• 1:11:13
  I thought, I thought on their own showcase.
• 1:11:15
  No, they revealed it at the Game Awards.
• 1:11:17
  It was the very first time we saw the the new Xbox.
• 1:11:21
  OK, OK. It was a cool reveal too, and
• 1:11:25
  they fooled us. Yeah.
• 1:11:29
  See, yeah, I wonder if they're showing, I mean, Xbox always has
• 1:11:33
  a huge presence there. But like my thought is they're
• 1:11:36
  they'll probably show like either Halo or Gears or
• 1:11:41
  something here because they have that developer thing, the
• 1:11:44
  developer direct in January every year.
• 1:11:47
  And so like, I wonder if they'll show something to tease that.
• 1:11:50
  Oh, it's basically like it's basically like a reason to like
• 1:11:52
  actually like tune into the to their to their their what they
• 1:11:56
  what they call no unpacked. Developer.
• 1:11:58
  Yes, right. It's called a developer direct.
• 1:12:01
  OK. My my.
• 1:12:04
  I do think though that they will show maybe show a trailer for
• 1:12:08
  Fable finally here because that's also supposed to come out
• 1:12:12
  next year and we haven't seen anything from that game.
• 1:12:14
  Yeah, we haven't seen, we haven't seen the hide nor hair
• 1:12:16
  of that. Yeah, I mean they have a stacked
• 1:12:19
  line up next year. Theoretically though, Halo,
• 1:12:22
  Gears, Forza, Fable, Clockwork Revolution supposed to come out
• 1:12:29
  next year, maybe State of Decay three, like they have a lot of
• 1:12:33
  games next year. It's crazy.
• 1:12:38
  Anyways, what's what's your one of your predictions that are on?
• 1:12:43
  One of my predictions. One of my predictions, let me
• 1:12:57
  shoot. I was I was going to say
• 1:12:59
  something Nintendo Esquid Nintendo never reveals, never
• 1:13:01
  reveals like they're they're hand at the Game Awards.
• 1:13:03
  They never do. No, they usually show things
• 1:13:06
  that are already out. Honestly, yeah.
• 1:13:12
  No, I don't have any faith that BioWare is going to do anything,
• 1:13:15
  anything new, this new for this this year's Game Awards.
• 1:13:18
  I don't. So, BioWare.
• 1:13:19
  They're going to tease Mass Effect here.
• 1:13:22
  Another tease. Yeah, why not?
• 1:13:26
  They need to. They need to tease like they
• 1:13:28
  need to tease like a release date.
• 1:13:30
  Yeah. Let me see, Kojima's knee deep
• 1:13:37
  in two in two projects right now, so probably nothing from
• 1:13:40
  him. They could show Fizzin, or they
• 1:13:45
  could show Fizzin, or they could show.
• 1:13:48
  They could show more of it. They could show that Death
• 1:13:51
  Stranding anime that's coming. So yeah, this is the thing.
• 1:13:55
  Yeah, that's. One of my guesses by the.
• 1:13:59
  Way 5 Predictions for Game awards.
• 1:14:01
  Let me see here, what's something that's been off,
• 1:14:06
  what's something that's been off off of our radars for a while
• 1:14:09
  that I think, I think it's almost time to like get back
• 1:14:12
  into the limelight shoot. Castlevania.
• 1:14:19
  Actually, you know, it's funny you read my mind because I was
• 1:14:21
  just thinking Castlevania hasn't done anything in a in a hot
• 1:14:24
  minute. Yeah, I mean, the only thing
• 1:14:26
  they've done is those collections.
• 1:14:28
  Well, yeah. And, and was it, was it me?
• 1:14:32
  And was it me and Pat a couple of weeks ago saying like, you
• 1:14:35
  know, like they should just bite the bullet and like and like do
• 1:14:37
  a a remake of the original Castlevania game?
• 1:14:42
  I think it was a couple weeks ago, yeah.
• 1:14:44
  Yeah, yeah. But I don't know, I know
• 1:14:50
  Konami's kind of basking in the in like in like this welcome
• 1:14:53
  back tour that that that Melger Solid Delta did.
• 1:14:56
  So maybe we'll see some deals, maybe we'll see ADLC
• 1:14:59
  announcement for for Delta. You think they would do DLC?
• 1:15:03
  Did the original game didn't get DLC?
• 1:15:05
  No, because that was APS 2 game. Yeah, but they didn't have like,
• 1:15:09
  oh, wait, wait, wait. Didn't have like, I thought it
• 1:15:10
  had something. I thought it had something that
• 1:15:12
  was basically attached to it. Oh, no, no, no.
• 1:15:14
  Snake, snake versus monkeys. Was was was it?
• 1:15:16
  I'm sorry. And that's already on the game.
• 1:15:22
  Oh, I know what they could show though.
• 1:15:25
  Who? Who?
• 1:15:26
  Konami. Yeah.
• 1:15:28
  What? They could show the I mean, I
• 1:15:31
  don't know if if Kajima's there, I don't know if they would show
• 1:15:34
  a Konami game, but they could show you mean.
• 1:15:36
  The Metal Gear game. Yeah, I mean, any Konami game
• 1:15:40
  really. I guess they could, but like we
• 1:15:43
  know Bluebird team is working on Silent Hill One remake and
• 1:15:49
  there's also that Metal Gear Solid collection volume to in
• 1:15:54
  the works. I don't know why.
• 1:15:57
  I don't know why it's taking so long for that to be in the works
• 1:15:59
  like that. Like I feel like that should be
• 1:16:01
  nothing to get out, you know what I mean?
• 1:16:02
  The problem is they're having trouble porting 4 from the PS3.
• 1:16:08
  Oh yeah, that's right. Yeah.
• 1:16:10
  That's I mean that that was kind.
• 1:16:12
  Of which is probably, which is probably going to be the next
• 1:16:14
  game that gets the remake treatment.
• 1:16:16
  If I'm, if I'm, if I'm being honest, like I feel like they're
• 1:16:19
  going to save Metal Gear Solid 2 and Metal Gear Solid, you know,
• 1:16:22
  as like the pinnacle parts of like this remake project that
• 1:16:25
  are doing remakes. You know what I mean?
• 1:16:27
  Yeah, I just I wonder how they would even I don't even know
• 1:16:33
  what I mean. I feel like I feel like 5 is too
• 1:16:37
  recent. Plus it still looks like a
• 1:16:39
  modern video game, right? Like 5 looks still looks
• 1:16:41
  amazing. I doubt that would get any sort
• 1:16:45
  of remake one, probably 2. Definitely will get one at some
• 1:16:51
  point. Yeah.
• 1:16:53
  I don't know, man. I wonder if they're going to go
• 1:16:54
  in like timeline order or I don't know, but I I feel like
• 1:17:00
  that I feel like that collection is coming soon.
• 1:17:03
  Let me see, Capcom's already did their thing on Resident Evil 9.
• 1:17:07
  Pragmatic recently got some. Got some news.
• 1:17:11
  Shit, might be time for a new Devil May Cry.
• 1:17:15
  I was thinking that I wonder if that's what that statue is
• 1:17:18
  teasing. That'd be crazy.
• 1:17:22
  I wouldn't put it back on, put it past Capcom.
• 1:17:27
  I wouldn't put it past them. But Speaking of Capcom, later
• 1:17:33
  on, I think, I think they're going to show Mega Man 12 here.
• 1:17:40
  You think this is the year you think?
• 1:17:42
  This is the year. Yep, it's not too crazy.
• 1:17:46
  I'd love to see it. I'm it's so besides Monster
• 1:17:51
  Hunter, it's their second most requested franchise that they
• 1:17:54
  want to see a game in according to their recent survey.
• 1:17:58
  They said recently that they want to make Phoenix right, Mega
• 1:18:02
  Man and some something else. I remember that cause 'cause
• 1:18:06
  yeah, they sent me that survey. Yeah, and they want to make
• 1:18:10
  those mainline series the way that Resident Evil and Street
• 1:18:12
  Fighter are for them. So I don't know, man, I could
• 1:18:16
  see you. Mega Man.
• 1:18:18
  It's either it's either Mega Man 12 or Mega Man X.
• 1:18:21
  What? Not 8-9.
• 1:18:25
  X would be 9. Yeah, it's going to be one of
• 1:18:27
  those. I don't know, like I've, I'm
• 1:18:33
  going to get crucified for this, but I was never really big on
• 1:18:35
  Mega Man X series. Yeah, I've, I mean, I've, yeah,
• 1:18:41
  I don't know. I've never played the X series
• 1:18:43
  so I can tell you I don't know. It looks nice, but.
• 1:18:47
  Yeah, it looks nice, yeah, but. I mean I I.
• 1:18:49
  Don't know something. It was, it was something about
• 1:18:51
  X. It was just some of the X
• 1:18:52
  series. It just, it just didn't grab me.
• 1:18:54
  Yeah, plus like that, the way the NES games look, it's just so
• 1:18:59
  iconic man. I wish they would just make it
• 1:19:03
  in the 8 bit style like they did 9 and 10. 9:00 and 10:00 But I
• 1:19:07
  feel like, I feel like I feel like they can't do that anymore.
• 1:19:10
  You know what I mean? The the, the the.
• 1:19:13
  Honestly, it's. Too flooded, the industry's too
• 1:19:15
  flooded with 2D. With two, yeah, with two with,
• 1:19:18
  with old, with retro looking games, you know, but but I also
• 1:19:22
  feel like what they did for Mega Man 11, that is the proper
• 1:19:25
  evolution for Mega Man. Yeah, I have really liked that,
• 1:19:30
  that the slide ability that they added or the dash ability, like
• 1:19:33
  those are, those are really cool abilities.
• 1:19:39
  Yeah, I would like to, I would like to see another Mega Man
• 1:19:41
  game. I think I would like to see 12
• 1:19:44
  personally. But unless they go the full,
• 1:19:47
  we're going to make a Mega Man Legend style 3D action game,
• 1:19:53
  right? Which would be weird.
• 1:19:54
  But also there's a ton of theories which they've debunked
• 1:20:00
  but people still believe that Pragmata is really a prequel to
• 1:20:04
  Mega Man. I don't get it.
• 1:20:09
  I don't see it. You haven't, you didn't.
• 1:20:11
  You didn't see those that they it's a secretly a Mega Man game.
• 1:20:14
  No, well, no, no, no, I well, I didn't, I didn't.
• 1:20:18
  I didn't see that either. But at the same time I'm like I
• 1:20:20
  don't see how this can be a a Mega Man prequel.
• 1:20:23
  And the girl is like secretly roll and the guy and the guy in
• 1:20:27
  the suit is actually like Doctor Light trying to expand.
• 1:20:29
  Oh my God. OK, you people on the Internet,
• 1:20:32
  you have way too much time on your hands.
• 1:20:34
  I know people are people have a lot of time to think about
• 1:20:38
  things like this, I guess. God.
• 1:20:43
  So what's another prediction for you, Lauren?
• 1:20:48
  Another prediction for me. Another prediction for me, we
• 1:21:05
  get a world, we get a world premiere debut from a brand new
• 1:21:10
  studio. I don't know, I don't know what
• 1:21:14
  genre it will be or what not, but it it will be.
• 1:21:17
  But this new studio, whatever they, whatever they are, what
• 1:21:21
  they're doing like it. Like it basically is the next
• 1:21:24
  AAA title. You know that what that
• 1:21:26
  everybody's going to put in the radar.
• 1:21:28
  They I wonder if they'll debut that Sony game so that they just
• 1:21:34
  signed with Bad Robot Games. The with who they The studio is
• 1:21:40
  led by the Left 4 Dead director named Booth.
• 1:21:45
  I think his. Name is so could be that.
• 1:21:49
  Could be that other project Gummy Bears might finally get a
• 1:21:53
  name and a title from the Bungie spin off team.
• 1:21:57
  Project Gummy Bears. Yeah, that was the that was the
• 1:21:59
  project Bungie was working on. Other than Marathon and Destiny
• 1:22:03
  that when they laid everybody off, they took a bunch of people
• 1:22:06
  from Bungie and created a new team led by the old Black Ops.
• 1:22:11
  The director or. Producer.
• 1:22:13
  Oh, I wasn't aware of that. Yeah, the Team LFG Laron.
• 1:22:19
  You ever heard of Team LFG from PlayStation?
• 1:22:22
  No, wait, I'm pretty sure I have.
• 1:22:26
  I just, I just, I just am having a hard time word associating
• 1:22:28
  what they've done. And they haven't done anything.
• 1:22:31
  It's a new studio. Oh, OK.
• 1:22:36
  There it is shooter though. I bet if you hire a bunch of
• 1:22:41
  Bungie and Call of Duty devs, I bet it's going to be a shooter.
• 1:22:46
  Just saying. Be cool though, all right?
• 1:22:53
  Well, my my other prediction I I said earlier is the 2 D 2.5 D
• 1:22:58
  God of War game. I mean, it's the worst kept
• 1:23:01
  secret. I feel like they were going to
• 1:23:03
  announce it at the last state of play because they had that God
• 1:23:05
  of War controller, right? And they didn't show a game with
• 1:23:10
  it. Yeah, yeah, I'm still scratching
• 1:23:12
  my head about that. You know, like you, you guys
• 1:23:15
  brought a controller that you know was not attached to an
• 1:23:17
  actual game and wasn't like a throwback to like the current
• 1:23:20
  game, you know? I mean I get that it's the 20th
• 1:23:23
  anniversary, but I feel like you should have a game for the 20th.
• 1:23:25
  You should have a game for it, Yeah.
• 1:23:27
  I mean, it makes it makes it makes zero sense.
• 1:23:28
  It's. Either going to be that or that
• 1:23:30
  God of War trilogy, or the God of War remake, or a trilogy HD
• 1:23:35
  upgrade or some update or something.
• 1:23:37
  Yeah. So my guess it's the 2.5 D but
• 1:23:43
  that remake of the first game is also has been rumoured for a
• 1:23:46
  long time so. Oh oh oh, I got, I got 1.
• 1:23:52
  Oh. I got one.
• 1:23:55
  Sony finally delivers us a Twisted Metal, a new a new
• 1:23:59
  Twisted Metal entry. I mean there was one in
• 1:24:01
  development. There was one in development.
• 1:24:03
  It just stalled out. But you know, now it's back.
• 1:24:05
  Now I'm saying it's back on the back on the wait.
• 1:24:11
  It was supposed to be made by that studio that was that did
• 1:24:14
  Destruction All Stars that came out at launch for PS.
• 1:24:17
  Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Then it didn't.
• 1:24:21
  OK, OK. I don't know why I got excited
• 1:24:23
  and said that there's going to be a new Gran Turismo, given
• 1:24:26
  that Gran Turismo only comes out one per console now.
• 1:24:28
  Yeah, Damn. Damn.
• 1:24:31
  Like. I mean technically the one
• 1:24:33
  that's out now is still APS 4 game technically.
• 1:24:37
  Yeah, but this guy's own PS-5 version though, man, we were,
• 1:24:44
  man. Like we were.
• 1:24:45
  We were. We were in the heyday back in
• 1:24:48
  the PS1. We got 3 Gran Turismo games on
• 1:24:50
  PS1. Is that right?
• 1:24:54
  No, I think there was only. Two No, no, we got a spec.
• 1:24:56
  A spec was on 2PS2. Man, I played a lot of Gran
• 1:25:00
  Turismo 3A spec man. I'm not even a car guy and I
• 1:25:03
  played so much of that game. Snoop Dogg had a track on there.
• 1:25:10
  Anyways, that's all I remember man.
• 1:25:15
  I I, I would say though, I feel like a new twisted metal,
• 1:25:19
  especially like a live service twisted metal, if you did it
• 1:25:21
  right, could be good. But but also the reason why I'm
• 1:25:25
  saying that, though, is like the I haven't, I haven't finished
• 1:25:28
  the second season yet. Technically I haven't finished
• 1:25:29
  the first season, but I haven't finished the second season yet.
• 1:25:32
  But but the Twisted Metal show has done has done wonders.
• 1:25:35
  It's Peacock's biggest show. Yeah.
• 1:25:39
  So. By the way, totally.
• 1:25:43
  I think, I think Sony, I think Sony's legit on to something
• 1:25:46
  like turning like turning your IPS into TV shows, you know,
• 1:25:49
  like say what you will about Last of Us Season 2, you know,
• 1:25:51
  say what you will, you know? Yeah.
• 1:25:53
  That show's super successful, yeah.
• 1:25:55
  People that didn't play the game actually really like the second
• 1:25:58
  season record, so. And it sold it.
• 1:26:01
  They sold like something like 5 or 6,000,000 copies of the games
• 1:26:06
  after the season launched or whatever.
• 1:26:08
  So I mean, yeah, I mean that that brand awareness is, is out
• 1:26:14
  there, You know, I mean, I think that's what Nintendo's trying to
• 1:26:16
  do now too, right? So I was going to say something,
• 1:26:24
  but now I, I forget. Oh, did I tell you that I
• 1:26:26
  watched the second season of Halo?
• 1:26:27
  By the way? You.
• 1:26:28
  Did you? Didn't.
• 1:26:30
  I liked the Halo show. You just said you enjoyed it.
• 1:26:32
  I love the Halo show. I'm so sad.
• 1:26:35
  It's like getting a third season.
• 1:26:36
  It's weird because I was begging you to watch that show when it
• 1:26:39
  was like actually on. I know, but I didn't want to pay
• 1:26:42
  for Paramount. I didn't want to pay for
• 1:26:44
  Paramount Plus. I told you I could have hooked
• 1:26:46
  you up. And then it came to Netflix and
• 1:26:49
  I was like, OK, I'll watch it here.
• 1:26:51
  Yeah. Shows really good.
• 1:26:58
  Speaking of shows, not really, but Sony IPI guess we only know
• 1:27:07
  a couple of Sony IP Sony games, right?
• 1:27:09
  Like Intergalactic and Wolverine, right?
• 1:27:13
  I wonder if they'll show, dude, that Uncharted 5, that Uncharted
• 1:27:19
  game with Cassie Drake, Where is it?
• 1:27:23
  Yeah, where is it? Yeah.
• 1:27:28
  It's, it's upsetting me, Laron. You're not the only one that's
• 1:27:32
  that's that's upset about this. I wonder if they'll.
• 1:27:37
  I do wonder, though, if they'll. Yeah, I don't know.
• 1:27:41
  What were you going? To say the Nathan Drake
• 1:27:45
  Collection needs to come to PC. Yeah, I can't believe that's not
• 1:27:49
  They released four and lost Legacy before the Nathan Drake
• 1:27:52
  collection. Well, I mean it was AI mean it
• 1:27:54
  was a no brainer like they want. They definitely want to put
• 1:27:56
  their current ones out there, but trust me, the injury
• 1:28:00
  collection that would that would burn up my my ROG Ally, Yeah.
• 1:28:10
  Yeah, man, I don't know. I was.
• 1:28:12
  Wondering Uncharted 4 was bringing up my ROG ally before I
• 1:28:15
  discovered other games on it. Yeah, I wonder though, man, I
• 1:28:21
  don't know. I, I would like to see that game
• 1:28:24
  shown. I think Sony, Sony shows one
• 1:28:28
  major game here. And I think honestly, it's going
• 1:28:31
  to be that Horizon multiplayer game, the one that they've been
• 1:28:37
  not so secretly, but working on. Yeah.
• 1:28:42
  Nettie's is working on a Mobile Horizon multiplayer.
• 1:28:45
  Game. Yeah, mobile Horizon game,
• 1:28:46
  which? Which, yeah, we're pretty sure
• 1:28:48
  is going to be riddled with microtransactions.
• 1:28:51
  Oh yeah for sure, but Sony's also working on one and it's not
• 1:28:55
  the same one. It's supposedly a Monster Hunter
• 1:28:58
  style game though. Oh, yeah, yeah.
• 1:29:00
  Oh, trust me. What I saw about it is like,
• 1:29:02
  well, I mean, Horizon was already getting comparisons of
• 1:29:05
  Monster Hunter back back when it was doing its circulation.
• 1:29:09
  But but yeah, like this definitely looks like, looks
• 1:29:11
  like, you know, like it's inspired by Monster Hunter,
• 1:29:13
  which I'm not complaining about. Yeah, yeah.
• 1:29:18
  So I wanted Sony's going to show something.
• 1:29:21
  I think it's going to be the Horizon multiplayer game.
• 1:29:25
  My hope is that it's my hope would be that it's the Uncharted
• 1:29:29
  game, but it's not going to be. What else you got, Lauren?
• 1:29:41
  Let's see, is this, is this our crazy prediction now?
• 1:29:44
  Or I already made my crazy prediction.
• 1:29:46
  Oh, you did. Yeah, I said that Xbox is going
• 1:29:48
  to reveal their next console with their entire.
• 1:29:50
  Lineup All right, my crazy, my, my crazy prediction is Sony.
• 1:29:53
  Sony announces A handheld the new handheld.
• 1:29:58
  Yeah, I mean, they, they, man, they could, but man, I think
• 1:30:03
  they, I mean, I think the portal is doing so well for them,
• 1:30:05
  though. The portal is doing so well, but
• 1:30:08
  I mean, I feel like I feel like Sony, I think I feel like Sony,
• 1:30:12
  you know, like start how insidious Microsoft was by like
• 1:30:15
  Co opting the ROG ally. And so we're like, you know
• 1:30:20
  what? You know what?
• 1:30:21
  We, we are, we are stepping onto the court.
• 1:30:25
  Plus like Valve just revealed all their new stuff.
• 1:30:28
  Like Sony needs to keep up with these announcements, right?
• 1:30:31
  And like, at least show something, you know, that's
• 1:30:34
  theirs and not like, oh, you know, we, we slapped a sticker
• 1:30:39
  over this on button and called the ROG Ally.
• 1:30:41
  Yeah, it's ours. Yeah.
• 1:30:47
  Which have I told you? I'm disappointed in the Xbox
• 1:30:49
  brand right now, Did you know that?
• 1:30:53
  Have I told you that? I I think about twice, I think
• 1:30:56
  about twice an episode now. Gosh, anyways, I saw a really
• 1:31:04
  negative article about Satya Nadella today.
• 1:31:07
  I didn't read it, but I saw it and people I don't know man,
• 1:31:15
  I'm. I'm so sorry for all this
• 1:31:17
  yawning. I am.
• 1:31:17
  I'm still exhausted from like I know this past.
• 1:31:19
  I've been really holding in it. I'm like, I've swallowed like 3
• 1:31:22
  yawns since we've been on. All right, let's do one more
• 1:31:28
  prediction each and then we'll get out of here.
• 1:31:30
  All right, let me think. Let me think.
• 1:31:39
  How many 10 cent based commercials you think we're
• 1:31:41
  going to see? No, we can't do that.
• 1:31:50
  I wonder though, I think, man, I'm trying to think of like what
• 1:32:04
  we could see here. We could see, no, I already made
• 1:32:10
  my Microsoft prediction. Can't do that.
• 1:32:15
  Oh, and. Pretty much said Nintendo's
• 1:32:17
  going to be mum. I do have one.
• 1:32:22
  We're going to see a trailer in a release date for that
• 1:32:24
  Assassin's Creed Black Flag remake.
• 1:32:28
  Oh, you are dreaming the. Peggy.
• 1:32:32
  The Peggy rating showed up today.
• 1:32:34
  Oh did. Yep, I didn't know that.
• 1:32:36
  Yeah, yeah, I we're going to see that trailer here.
• 1:32:45
  I would have I would have I would have I would have made my
• 1:32:47
  next recommendation something around Monster Hunter, like the
• 1:32:49
  new like the expansions getting announced or what not.
• 1:32:51
  But there's there's still there cap right now the monster and
• 1:32:55
  team is still talking about like after title update 4, which is
• 1:32:58
  supposed to come out this month. They still what they want to do
• 1:33:01
  2 more title updates for for Wilds before like the new the
• 1:33:05
  expansion happens. So yeah.
• 1:33:10
  You go see the switch version. Oh, that'd be wild.
• 1:33:14
  They said they want to bring it to switch.
• 1:33:16
  They do, but I mean like it's poorly optimized for the PC.
• 1:33:19
  So do you think it's going to be optimized where for DAM for the
• 1:33:22
  for the switch or the switch too?
• 1:33:24
  No that dude, that thing's not running on the switch.
• 1:33:29
  Your switch would catch fire instantly dude.
• 1:33:33
  The joy cons would melt. They'd be better off just
• 1:33:36
  making. They'd be better off just making
• 1:33:38
  another original Switch title like they like they another
• 1:33:41
  title like they did with Monster Hunter Rise.
• 1:33:44
  I know we're not going to see that for a while though.
• 1:33:47
  Monster Hunter the the Monster Hunter Stories is coming out for
• 1:33:50
  a switch next year. They're not going to release 2
• 1:33:52
  in the same year, are they? Well, I guess they did the last
• 1:33:54
  time, right? Yeah.
• 1:33:55
  Monster Hunter Stories 2 came out this like.
• 1:33:57
  Like a monster. Like that same year.
• 1:33:59
  Yeah, that same year. Forgot about that.
• 1:34:03
  Man, us Monster Hunter fans, we be eating.
• 1:34:05
  We be eating well like we need to.
• 1:34:07
  I feel like sometimes we need to stop complaining about
• 1:34:10
  everything but it also like we need to complain.
• 1:34:13
  Monster Hunter Stories 3 looks really good by the way.
• 1:34:17
  I still have to finish it. Yeah.
• 1:34:23
  Man, it's funny that it's funny that that is the, that is,
• 1:34:26
  that's the one Monster Hunter game I haven't finished, you
• 1:34:29
  know? Chop chop, Lauren, you still got
• 1:34:33
  time. Yeah, My, my problem is the
• 1:34:36
  monster under stories is like I'm, I'm always trying to get
• 1:34:39
  the perfect egg, you know, like I'm trying to get all the
• 1:34:42
  skills. Yeah, yeah, I hear you.
• 1:34:47
  Yeah, I'm glad I don't play. I'm glad I don't play play
• 1:34:49
  Pokémon. I'm glad I don't because if my,
• 1:34:53
  if how I play, if I play Monster Hunter Stories is, is an
• 1:34:57
  indicator. Like that's exactly how I'd be
• 1:34:59
  in in freaking Pokémon. Yeah, oh deal of the day at Best
• 1:35:05
  Buy Street Fighter Six Amiibo 799.
• 1:35:09
  Which one? Any of them.
• 1:35:10
  They're showing Kimberly, so I guess it's that one.
• 1:35:15
  That's the deal of the day. So like at 11:59 it's gone,
• 1:35:18
  right? I'm I'm guessing probably it's a
• 1:35:22
  good deal though, $40 Amiibo for seven dollars $8.
• 1:35:26
  Just saying man, it's a good deal to $40.00 for an Amiibo.
• 1:35:31
  What the? Yeah.
• 1:35:35
  They were 1299 when they first started coming out, man.
• 1:35:37
  And they're, and they're barely, and they're barely any bigger
• 1:35:40
  than what they than what the original ones are like, you
• 1:35:42
  know, like I can understand if like they're actually like
• 1:35:44
  statues now, you know what I mean?
• 1:35:45
  Yeah, I mean that dude, those that fatty Mcfad Detective
• 1:35:49
  Pikachu one was only 20 bucks and it's like 4 times the size
• 1:35:53
  of a normal Amiibo. Nintendo's getting greedy.
• 1:35:56
  I'm sorry, someone has to say it.
• 1:35:58
  I'm saying it. Nintendo is getting greedy, man.
• 1:36:02
  It's like, man, what are you, what are you doing man?
• 1:36:05
  Like I don't know. They also put the Virtual Boy up
• 1:36:09
  for pre-order today. So for the NSO stuff, they're
• 1:36:15
  releasing the Virtual Boy games on NSO and they're releasing a
• 1:36:18
  Virtual Boy to play it that you slide your switch into.
• 1:36:22
  OK, I remember. Yeah, Yeah, I did.
• 1:36:24
  I did. I did remember seeing that.
• 1:36:28
  No controller though, just the headset.
• 1:36:30
  You got to play with a normal switch controller.
• 1:36:31
  NO2D pads for you Lauren. That controller was so nasty
• 1:36:37
  man. I remember it. 2D pads, what are
• 1:36:40
  you thinking? I remember that.
• 1:36:45
  The plat The real plastic headset cost 9999, but you can
• 1:36:49
  buy a cardboard version of it for 2499.
• 1:36:55
  Comes with a strap that leftover Labo cardboard, am I right?
• 1:37:03
  Yeah, that's, that's legit. What that what that is?
• 1:37:08
  Man Labo. You know, I, I give, I give
• 1:37:12
  Nintendo, I give Nintendo credit for still, you know, for still
• 1:37:16
  trying to be innovative. You know, I feel like their
• 1:37:18
  innovation is kind of stagnating, you know, now.
• 1:37:21
  But they still, they still try to innovate.
• 1:37:24
  Yeah, they're doing, they're doing different things besides
• 1:37:26
  like consoles style innovation, right?
• 1:37:29
  Like they had that Mario Kart, that real life Mario Kart game
• 1:37:34
  where you bought the Mario karts, right?
• 1:37:36
  Like the $100 Mario karts that were remote controlled by your
• 1:37:38
  Switch and like they had a camera on it that you've looked
• 1:37:41
  at on your Switch screen. That was cool.
• 1:37:44
  That was cool. I mean, Labo was like, it's an
• 1:37:48
  interesting idea, you know, I think it did a lot of
• 1:37:52
  interesting things, but I don't know.
• 1:37:55
  Cardboard, man. They have too many mobile apps
• 1:37:59
  now though, man. How to say why can't they all
• 1:38:02
  just be one? Why can't Nintendo to say
• 1:38:05
  Nintendo music? Like your parental settings,
• 1:38:10
  your chat, chat chats, and like why are they all separate apps?
• 1:38:17
  Now they have one where you can just check your play time on
• 1:38:19
  your games. Do you know that it's just one
• 1:38:22
  app? That's all you do on it is check
• 1:38:24
  your play time. Do you like Nintendo's trying
• 1:38:25
  to? I think Nintendo's trying to do
• 1:38:27
  what Apple has been doing for like the last decade.
• 1:38:35
  Oh man, OK, It looks like that statue, by the way we were
• 1:38:41
  talking about earlier, looks like The Game Awards is almost
• 1:38:48
  certainly confirmed now to be a new Divinity game by Larian due
• 1:38:53
  to a trademark filing. Oh.
• 1:38:57
  Which would be. Interesting, that can be cool.
• 1:38:59
  So Divinity Original Sin three I guess.
• 1:39:04
  That would make sense I guess. Yeah, it would.
• 1:39:10
  So, well, good for you Baldur's Gate fans getting new new games
