  Hello, and welcome to Gatesleapers, the pop culture game show that shines a
• 0:22
  spotlight onto everyone's favorite fandoms. I'm your games master and the guy who is
• 0:27
  holding all of the world's microchips Matt Watson. But a games master needs games,
• 0:32
  and games need players. And as this is a PC gaming episode,
• 0:36
  I think we'll be using usernames only, so leap Frogs please welcome our first
• 0:41
  team. He is a podcaster and author whose debut novel, Fane is available
• 0:46
  right now. It's pants Less Aaron Hello, Hello, and she is part
• 0:50
  of the goog com stream team who you can catch on Twitch at Lovelust Games.
• 0:55
  It's Lovelust. Hello, Hello, Hello, Welcome to the podcast pants
• 1:00
  Hour and love Lust. I'm using user names. This feels interesting. I
• 1:04
  feel a little awkward now it's been it's been ages since I've gone by that
• 1:08
  handle pretty you know, regularly, so which I mean, now's the chance
• 1:14
  to update if you want something. Here's the long story short, and then
• 1:17
  the genesis for this episode was that I used to be part of the god
• 1:21
  dot com stream team, but then as my novel came closer and closer to
• 1:25
  becoming a thing, I realized I had to choose, and as much as
• 1:30
  it hurt me to leave behind a community of incredible individuals, everybody in the
• 1:36
  god dot com stream team is amazing and joyful and a wonderful part of my
• 1:41
  life, and I wish I could have invited them all. But when I
• 1:46
  put forward PC games as a possible fandom, I knew I had to invite
• 1:49
  people from my old haunt, my old hangout, and I love everybody there.
• 1:56
  But I think we got two of the best this time. For sure.
• 2:00
  It certainly sounds it, and I will from now on say GOG instead
• 2:02
  of go og, as I did at the beginning, like either did you
• 2:07
  know gog used to stand for good old games and now they just close?
• 2:12
  Now it's just going. Now it's just lying, it's still games. Yeah.
• 2:16
  I could be wrong, and I thought they had changed it so well
• 2:20
  they did, but not in my household. It's great, great to have
• 2:24
  you here. Aaron Lovelust, thanks so much for joining us on the podcast.
• 2:29
  Uh, what's the origin? If you'll use the name? Well with
• 2:32
  my username was very much created in a vacuum. I was just like,
• 2:36
  what, what's something that sounds cool? Love? Yeah, everyone loves love
• 2:42
  LUs like wonderlust that'd be awesome. I didn't actually proceed to think deeply about
• 2:50
  that. The words luss just meant like wonderluss, like a craving. That's
• 2:53
  fine. Uh so I can't really use my username in certain places like Nintendo
• 2:59
  online. Uh you know, just the important places online. But that's that's
• 3:02
  it. Super super normal name that no one double takes. When I asked,
• 3:08
  you know, when they joined my stream and I'm like, thanks for
• 3:10
  joining the Lusty league. No one asked questions. Super casual community, very
• 3:19
  very calm, very casual. I love it so much, I'll ask you
• 3:23
  first, love lust When did you get into PC gaming? When was When
• 3:27
  was your entry point into PC game? I started PC gaming at my school.
• 3:32
  Nice, Yes, I went to school. I started a new school
• 3:37
  and it was one of those like kind of weird satellite schools where it's like
• 3:42
  in an office kind of situation. The vibes were immaculate, and in the
• 3:46
  computer room they had this PC game where you like, I forget the name
• 3:51
  off the top of my head, but you like make a little village and
• 3:53
  then people attack you, you attack them. It was very attack game.
• 4:00
  Yeah, yeah, Microsoft overyone knows it. Yeah, I forget the name.
• 4:03
  I'm not sure someone's getting the comments. Well, actually I can go
• 4:06
  find It was similar to Settlers, but it was it was literally from the
• 4:13
  Microsoft like publishing studio. That's all I remember off the top of my head.
• 4:17
  But I was I think that's what it was. I think that's what
• 4:20
  it was. Yeah. I was obsessed with it to the point that I
• 4:24
  was just like, I'm gonna make a little village and then people would attack
• 4:27
  me and I'm like, what is why? Hello building here? You're literally
• 4:31
  beautiful trying to create a moment in history. Didn't get the point of that
• 4:36
  game at all, but that was like my entry point, and I realized
• 4:41
  they make other games on the computer. It's not just this one game where
• 4:46
  you're just like at the bush with the berries. Okay, that's cool.
• 4:48
  So I got into the SIMS and from there I was like, you can
• 4:53
  shoot people on the computer. Anything's possible. Yeah, doors were opened.
• 4:58
  Oh that's that's fantastic. Moving over to your teammate, Aaron, what about
• 5:01
  yourself, when did you get your starts into PC gaming? So? I
• 5:05
  think my dad brought home a computer when I was nine or ten years old,
• 5:10
  so this would have been nineteen eighty nine, nineteen ninety somewhere around there,
• 5:14
  and I remember my dad showing me some games and he had more on
• 5:18
  like these discs, and then one day when they were gone, I remember
• 5:23
  like trying to get this one game to run, but it wouldn't because there
• 5:25
  wasn't enough conventional memory. Back in the day, you needed six hundred and
• 5:29
  forty K of conventional memory and you needed a good amount of that to be
• 5:31
  free, and apparently not enough of it was free. So I was like,
• 5:36
  you know, in my child brain, I was like, okay,
• 5:39
  so something is taking up the memory that I need to use, so let
• 5:43
  me just delete some things and that should free up the memory. Yeah.
• 5:46
  So I deleted either the configsed dot sis or the auto exec dot bat one
• 5:50
  of the two, and to my surprise and to light, the game actually
• 5:55
  ran and I was able to play it, and I was like, this
• 5:57
  is fun. And then when the night ended, I shut the computer down,
• 6:00
  didn't think anything of it, and went to bed, and in the
• 6:03
  morning my dad was like, what did you do? So he called his
• 6:09
  friend and his friend came over with a disc. I imagine I know now
• 6:13
  that he launched into dust from the disc and replaced the missing files and reconfigured
• 6:17
  everything. But at the time, to me, it was a miracle.
• 6:21
  I was like, I was like, I saw how dead that computer was.
• 6:26
  It was dead. It would not do anything with a disc to fix
• 6:30
  my machine. He not only fixed it, but he sat me down and
• 6:35
  he gave me a lot of information. He was like, okay, so
• 6:38
  these files you do not touch ever, you leave these alone and here,
• 6:43
  and he hands me a CD full of Windows ninety five games that he brought
• 6:47
  specifically for me because he knew that I was a gamer. And I was
• 6:51
  like, this is the coolest thing ever. I break the machine and it
• 6:55
  gets better. Wow. So I think I was pretty much. I wasn't
• 7:00
  locked into PC gaming at that point, but I was. I was a
• 7:03
  fan for sure. Yeah. No, that's a fantastic origin story. And
• 7:08
  in a way to not learn life lessons. Yeah, absolutely absolutely. You'd
• 7:13
  think i'd start breaking the computer more often, but no, I actually became
• 7:16
  responsible. Well gross, sorry, thank you so much for being here,
• 7:28
  but you will need some opponents. This is a t m O RPG,
• 7:31
  after all, a tinily multiplayer online role playing game. Oh, I'm actually
• 7:39
  gonna level up as points tinally, everything is tiny. Everything is we're scaling
• 7:45
  back all the features. Okay, fair enough. So the team to my
• 7:49
  metaphysical left, I suppose he is also part of the dog dot com stream
• 7:54
  team who you can see on twitch at flaos it's flaos. Oh hi hell
• 8:00
  oh, and she is a podcaster who needs a screen name for today's episode.
• 8:05
  Actually, so we'll have to crowdsource that. I think it's a hi.
• 8:09
  I feel so out of out of touch. Yeah, I feel like
• 8:13
  first first we should get aldre use a name. Right. What was what
• 8:16
  was your first email address ever? Oh, once upon a time, I
• 8:24
  was a cheerleader and I was really big into that, and so it was
• 8:28
  probably like a bunch of characters to make squiggles and stars and like cheer girl.
• 8:35
  That's potentially I don't know if it was g I r L or g
• 8:39
  U r L. History has forgotten. It is lost in the sands of
• 8:43
  time. I mean, if you want to be che a girl for today,
• 8:48
  you could be that if you like. I heard like three r's there,
• 8:54
  So that's fantastic understanding of my accent. Normally we missed the rs.
• 9:01
  I mean, I'm open to that. If we can spell girl like the
• 9:05
  g r r L girl. Y yeah, girl, yeah, absolutely,
• 9:09
  I'm open to this. You you are called Chia girl. Haven't cheered in
• 9:13
  years, but it's fine, nice, good stuff. Okay, Flaos,
• 9:20
  thank you so much for being here. Another member of the dog dot com
• 9:22
  stream team. I'll ask you the same question, when did you first get
• 9:26
  into PC gaming? I feel like my story is kind of like Aaron's because
• 9:30
  my dad also came home with a computer. I have like a vague memory
• 9:33
  maybe when I was four years old, of going to some little hole in
• 9:35
  the wall computer store and we brought home an IBM compatible XT like nice,
• 9:41
  it's old, old, very slow, but it came with, you know,
• 9:48
  an old version of DOS and unlike Aaron's dad, though my dad did
• 9:52
  not did not bring home games. He had like something to dial to work,
• 9:54
  which I later figured out like he had some sort of modem capability.
• 9:58
  I accidentally found out about Once upon a Time and word Perfect. So I
• 10:03
  made my own game that I called Train Game by creating a train shape out
• 10:07
  of letters and that I'd hold down the space bar and that is fantastic.
• 10:18
  So that was that was my first game. Was Yeah, We're perfect.
• 10:24
  Eventually he I guess got some pirated games from work or something, and so
• 10:31
  the first real, like official game I remember playing is Sega's Frogger. Okay,
• 10:37
  goss, Yeah it was, yeah, it was. It was kind
• 10:39
  of fun. It made me kind of start loving arcade games, which I've
• 10:43
  never really played a lot of. But my dad's also very straight lacedays you
• 10:46
  might have guessed from not having games, and so we felt bad about pirating
• 10:48
  games and didn't copy that floppy and deleted it, and like eventually he bought
• 10:52
  some educational games of course, so that that was kind of the start.
• 10:58
  And one day my mom got shareware games for Christmas so that my brother and
• 11:03
  I wouldn't fight over them, and uh, one of those games was Commander
• 11:07
  Keene, and that's that was kind of from there. It was It's very
• 11:11
  much like Mario but for the PC. Okay, it was the first kind
• 11:16
  of smooth scrolling platform or game on the PC. So technologically it was a
• 11:18
  big deal from ID Software of course made Doom and Quick and all that stuff,
• 11:22
  But for me, I don't really just really impacted my life, and
• 11:26
  even now my profile picture on almost everything is Commander Keen, if it's not
• 11:30
  my real face. So nice. That's wonderful. Yeah, I feel like
• 11:35
  you could have fought back against having those educational games because you were playing wood
• 11:39
  Train. That's that's educational. Yeah, brilliant stuff, and that's old dry.
• 11:43
  I feel I feel kind of bad asking this, but uh, I
• 11:46
  mean you might have like some kind of origin story girl. Oh yeah,
• 11:50
  sorry, Oh this is this is going to take a long time. Geea,
• 11:54
  go what about yourself? I'll leave all that in your origin story of
• 12:01
  PC gaming? Rough. I think most of the time I wasn't. I
• 12:07
  wasn't big into games really growing up much at all. I've only recently started
• 12:11
  doing anything related to gaming, loving it more. Women need to be involved
• 12:16
  in games. It is so much fun. Don't think that you can't do
• 12:20
  it. Do it AnyWho. Pretty much the only games that I played wait,
• 12:24
  no, I remember at the Minards near me, which is a hardware
• 12:30
  store. Okay, but they had like random sections of the things. It
• 12:35
  was a thing. It's Midwest as Midwest as hell, but for some reason,
• 12:41
  they had like random sections that had random stuff, and there was the
• 12:46
  game cultures and it was just like Viking City Builder. Oh nonsense, it
• 12:52
  isn't. If people come in attack you sah, yeah, yeah, and
• 12:56
  you could establish trade routes and whatnot. I never actually knew how to play
• 13:01
  it, but I was obsessed with that game you go for a solid amount
• 13:05
  of time. In hindsight, I haven't looked at it since then. It's
• 13:09
  probably wasn't good, but I was obsessed with it, and that is the
• 13:13
  measure of quality. I just googled it because i'd never heard of it.
• 13:18
  Good Culture Cultures one and two are both on gog and it's it's rated really
• 13:22
  highly, like four point five out of five, So I knew Chuer Girl
• 13:28
  had excellent taste. Yeah, I think you were onto a winner there.
• 13:31
  And it's seventy percent off right now, shameless plug for I don't know the
• 13:39
  timing. Yeah, it's three bucks. Wow, Yeah it was. It
• 13:43
  was just one of those ones that was like on on sale at the time,
• 13:46
  and I was like, I want this, and my Dad's like,
• 13:50
  you've never had any interest in any of these things, and I was like,
• 13:54
  what a time to start. I think he was just mad that some
• 14:00
  would be taking the computer from his flight simulators, so I think that's what
• 14:05
  he was truly. Dads love the flight simulas. Yeah, oh god,
• 14:09
  I have a small issue where every once in a while I'll get into something
• 14:15
  extremely niche and one time I got really into trucking simulator. Oh my god.
• 14:20
  The people that are into it are into it would work to support you
• 14:28
  joining. It's like when you if you ever see like an old person birding
• 14:31
  and you ask them one question, they will never shut up. You are
• 14:35
  the person interested in birding, and they will follow you home waiting your bushes.
• 14:39
  They're like, hey, hey, they're birds out here. They will
• 14:41
  tell you the sack same thing. Yes, So I completely get your dad
• 14:46
  being like, no, you can't. This is I am here with the
• 14:50
  flight simulator. Where are we going to put the foot pedals? Somebody else
• 14:56
  wants to use the computer? Exactly? Well, cheer girl, I'm glad
• 15:01
  you found your origin story as well. So, okay, teams, you're
• 15:03
  about to go live to your audience, but before you can do that,
• 15:07
  you're going to need to settle on some branding. So I'd like each pair
• 15:11
  to come up with a PC gaming themed team name. Please, let's start
• 15:15
  with Pantsless Aaron and Lovelust. What have you got? I mean, I
• 15:18
  didn't have anything in mind at least I was I was. I was too
• 15:24
  busy combining our names into one. So I had pantsless lust. No,
• 15:30
  I just had pants lust much smart desire, desire and craving for pants.
• 15:37
  Yes, but never felt that before. No, it doesn't. It doesn't
• 15:43
  feel exactly right. Yeah, doing it the other way love aarin also doesn't
• 15:46
  work. So we all love are So I don't know, loveless, you
• 15:54
  have any ideas. My big contribution to the idea space is like I like
• 16:00
  them games, so not too sure on my end. How about how about
• 16:06
  something with the Saints Row, because that is the first game that I think
• 16:10
  love lesson I played together. Okay, we did. We did co op
• 16:14
  Saints Row. We'll just be the Third Street Saints then, no, we
• 16:18
  should be like the next street over. We're the fourth Streets. I have
• 16:25
  heard of. You do the third Street? No, fourth Street? Not
• 16:29
  quite on fifth that's where they keep the bank and there was some controversy.
• 16:33
  Colors of magenta and you know, yeah, the fourth Street states. I
• 16:37
  love it. That's a great team name, good stuff. Let's find out
• 16:41
  who they'll be facing flofs. I was gonna say, Ultra if you if
• 16:48
  you do, I will not I will not blame you. I will refer
• 16:51
  to your ideas first, as you know the extent of my gaming it's cultures
• 16:57
  and it's point and click mystery games. That's where we're at. There's a
• 17:00
  second half of that. Okay, well that's good too. You enjoyed the
• 17:04
  Nancy games, correct, Oh yeah, yeah, I've heard good things about
• 17:10
  that. I've never played to myself. But another one with a cult following
• 17:14
  that will come out of the woodwork. Well, I mean there's train game
• 17:18
  and there's cultures. The train called culture trains like an indie rock band.
• 17:29
  Definitely does it? Does players? You have an excellent rig, right,
• 17:33
  you have a you have a fantastic PC gaming machine, right, maybe ten
• 17:37
  years ago, so it's been a little long in the two. If you
• 17:41
  were to play a Nancy Drew game, it would look really good. Right.
• 17:45
  Oh yeah, So I'm just this is just a suggestion that's possible.
• 17:49
  This is just a suggestion. Fancy Drew, Fancy I love it. Oh,
• 17:55
  I like that. Fancy Fancy Drew is good. Fancy Drew is Goodancy
• 18:00
  Drew. All right, Fancy Drew for a fancy rig and the only series
• 18:06
  that address playtree. We have a hard battle ahead of us. I'm looking
• 18:12
  forward to it. I'm excited. Yeah, so we've got the Fourth Street
• 18:15
  Saints versus Fancy Drew. All right. And if you're listening to this and
• 18:19
  thinking, well, I'm mildly entertained by these voices. But the only things
• 18:23
  I play games on a my smartphone, an old Nintendo Wii, and a
• 18:26
  half dead Tamagotchi from the nineties, don't worry his order with a little segment
• 18:32
  we like to call passing knowledge. While PC gaming has been around since the
• 18:40
  Nimrod was built in the nineteen fifties, it truly got a foothold in the
• 18:44
  wider market in the nineteen seventies and eighties with the release of the Commodore sixty
• 18:48
  four and the Apple Too. Even with their minimal processing power and era appropriate
• 18:53
  graphics, the potential of computer gaming was a parent. Everyone wanted to play
• 18:59
  chop Lifter, Kickman, and Tooth Invaders. By the nineteen nineties, gaming
• 19:11
  specific consoles were gaining traction and a division arose. Consoles like the Super Nintendo
• 19:17
  and Sega Genesis offered plug and play simplicity, while PC gaming offered versatility.
• 19:22
  One of the hallmarks of PC gaming is the software capabilities The PC platform hosts
• 19:27
  tons of titles in an active modern community. To make games even more personalized.
• 19:33
  With digital distribution platforms like Steam, digital versions of your favorite games are
• 19:37
  almost as easy to access as porn. Do I get a prize? I
• 19:42
  have nothing on me, but I'll think something. On top of the software
• 19:48
  customization, PC enthusiasts are able to assemble their own hardware, picking perfect graphics,
• 19:53
  cards, processors, and peripherals, a term I just learned for their
• 19:59
  specific needs. PC gaming is for everyone. One PC can be optimized for
• 20:03
  streaming on Twitch or posting on YouTube. Another can have enough memory to store
• 20:08
  more games than you could ever play, a third could have cutting edge graphics,
• 20:12
  and a fourth could be rigged to play the nineteen ninety five film Hackers
• 20:17
  on repeat until the end of time rather replicates till it overloads a file than
• 20:22
  it spreads like cancer longs. Thank you wordra? How did? How did?
• 20:27
  D? How did? Was that good? PC gaming fans? Was
• 20:30
  that good summary of the history corrections? I'll take note there was no mention
• 20:37
  of Todd Howard at all. Gross oversight. Yeah, we'll have to Todd
• 20:47
  Howard paragraph oh Man. Just before we get to today's games. I've asked
• 21:00
  each player to bring in a muse that's something that inspires them or something they
• 21:04
  love from this particular fandom. PC gaming is inspiring to me because as a
• 21:08
  Mac user, this whole medium is entirely aspirational, so I have to be
• 21:12
  inspired by it. Aaron Panciless, Aaron, we will start with you.
• 21:18
  I thought it would be so much easier to just say everyone's user names,
• 21:21
  but it's really doing this for fifty episodes. It'll be easier for the others.
• 21:26
  You've just been calling me my regular name, that's true, so as
• 21:30
  for me my muse. I mean, what else could I pick? But
• 21:33
  nineteen ninety six is the Pandora Directive. It is a PC game from the
• 21:40
  Text Murphy series of video games, and if you have not heard of this
• 21:42
  series, you're not alone. It was at the time like one of the
• 21:49
  most groundbreaking PC games ever. When its predecessor, Under a Killing Moon came
• 21:55
  out, there was a huge hollabaloo about it and people blew up about it,
• 21:57
  and the Pandora or Directive is, in my position, inarguably a superior
• 22:03
  game, but it didn't get nearly as much press. But as it is,
• 22:07
  it had like a fully three D environment where you could search through rooms,
• 22:14
  open drawers, find notes that people left behind, find clues everywhere.
• 22:18
  It had tons of puzzles, a lot of which were logic puzzles, not
• 22:22
  just inventory puzzles like rubbing an item on another item and hope something happens.
• 22:26
  Yeah, but a lot of them were actual logic puzzles where you had to
• 22:29
  think your way through them, and I love those. And add to that,
• 22:33
  it had a conversation system much akin to Mass Effects. In fact that
• 22:37
  the director of Mass Effect I think, claimed that the Text Murphy series influenced
• 22:41
  it because you didn't know what text was going to say. You would have
• 22:45
  a B and C and it would describe the flavor of what he was going
• 22:48
  to say, but not what he was actually going to say. And these
• 22:52
  conversation trees could be intricate. There could be, you know, different paths
• 22:56
  through them that could lead to different endings. And there are so many different
• 23:00
  video clips of these actors talking to each other. It also all used FMV.
• 23:04
  By the way, you're not familiar, but it was one of the
• 23:07
  few FMV games that was an actual enjoyable, playable game. A lot of
• 23:12
  FMB games at the time were just like choose your own adventure books with video
• 23:18
  is all they really were, and they were massively disappointing, whereas games like
• 23:21
  this and Wing Commander actually tried to put a game into the formula to make
• 23:26
  it entertaining and Pandora directives succeeded better than anything. And that is the game
• 23:32
  that absolutely hooked me as a PC gamer for life. Like once I saw
• 23:37
  that, I'm like, the PC games can be these incredible experiences that you
• 23:41
  literally could not get on consoles. There was nothing like this on the Superintendo.
• 23:47
  There was nothing like this on Nintendo sixty four or a Genesis or any
• 23:49
  of it. This had to be a PC game, and for that reason
• 23:53
  I loved PC games and I constantly looked for other experiences like it. Then
• 24:00
  on out that's that's fantastic. Always get to spotlight a hidden gem again.
• 24:06
  I'd never I'd never heard of it. I'll put my hands up and say
• 24:07
  I'd not heard of that game, but not surprised. Sounds great for its
• 24:11
  time, for sure. I was really expecting to say Ginger Lynn Allen to
• 24:15
  be honest, but uh, we already covered the poor and dammit, I'm
• 24:22
  the Wing Commander three part of her career, not the other part of our
• 24:25
  career. Fantastic, Aaron, that's a great mus We'll move on over to
• 24:30
  your teammates, Lovelust. What's inspiring you from the world of PC gaming.
• 24:34
  I couldn't really decide. I'm torn between two, so mentioning Todd Howard,
• 24:40
  I would say Morowind was one of my defining PC games, and then after
• 24:45
  that, I would say that Vampire of the Masquerade is also one of the
• 24:49
  ones that was super inspiring to me, and both for really different reasons.
• 24:52
  With Morowin, I had never realized that you could boot up a game and
• 24:56
  enter an entire new world. I feel like all the other games that I've
• 25:00
  played there were kind of simulation games. You gotta hop in have a simulated
• 25:04
  experience. You're doing what the game wants you to do, You're building a
• 25:07
  city. That kind of vibe with Moro. When I made a character,
• 25:11
  they were completely mine. I could name them, I could decide what their
• 25:15
  skills were, and from there I'm just let loose into this open world where
• 25:18
  I definitely didn't steal everything, not nailed down. Absolutely amazing experience and I
• 25:26
  still take that with me to this day. I still go into open world
• 25:29
  games and just wonder what is possible. I would never do that and incriminate
• 25:36
  myself live on the aid. I would never do that. And then you
• 25:41
  get to something like Vampire the Masquerade that was eye opening in a completely different
• 25:45
  way because it wasn't just an open world experience. It was a very linear
• 25:49
  game that gave you some freedom, but it took the world that I'm used
• 25:53
  to Santa Monica and the first part of the game, and it gave me
• 25:59
  a different world to believe in where I was a part of it. I
• 26:02
  was this magical vampire creature who definitely doesn't play the hotel part muted because I'm
• 26:07
  terrified. So yeah, like, both of those games both opened my eyes
• 26:15
  to the possibilities of a world within a computer and there's really no going back
• 26:19
  after that. Yeah, no, that's great. I'm glad you went forward
• 26:22
  and name two of them because that both inspiring for different different reasons. I
• 26:26
  was I love the Eldest Girls games, but I sort of came in oblivion,
• 26:30
  and as I've mentioned, I don't own a PC, so but I
• 26:33
  would have Marowind is something I would have loved to have played it looks so
• 26:37
  much fun. It's very much worth going back to play. I think a
• 26:41
  lot of people are like, well, it's old, I'll just play the
• 26:42
  new game. And for me personally online I kind of make a habit of
• 26:47
  going back to play games I literally never heard of before that seem interesting and
• 26:52
  it's been some of the best fun I've ever had. Is someone will be
• 26:55
  like, hey, have you heard of this? Absolutely not, Let's play,
• 26:57
  And it's always so much fun to just be able to walk into a
• 27:02
  world that a team created and it's so immersive. There's so much going on,
• 27:07
  there's so much jank, and it's just so much fun. Yeah.
• 27:10
  All right, we've heard the muses from the Fourth Street Saints, but let's
• 27:14
  move on over to Fancy Drew. Because of Fancy Rags and Nancy Drew Flaos,
• 27:19
  what's inspiring you from PC gaming? Oh man, those two stories are
• 27:23
  so good and now I feel like I kind of do you remember that old
• 27:27
  name about the Turtle kid? I like turtles. Yeah, that's kind of
• 27:33
  how I like Commander Keene. My story is maybe not nearly as inspiring I
• 27:37
  did mention. So my first games are educational games, and then one Christmas
• 27:42
  we got Shawer Games as a collection of Shower games. However, Commander Keen
• 27:47
  was actually hidden from me and my brother. For whatever reason, my dad
• 27:49
  didn't have that one on the computer. He installed everything else. But one
• 27:53
  night we'd gone out to like some sort of event that had arcade games set
• 27:57
  up, like back when you could just run darcade games, and they had
• 28:03
  a Mario Arcade games like the Play Choice ten or something. I don't know
• 28:06
  what it was exactly, but it was Super Mario Brothers, the original one
• 28:10
  that was also on the nests, and I had wanted to play it because
• 28:12
  I really loved that game. I played at my cousin's house and we weren't
• 28:17
  able to play it, and I was really broken up. I don't remember
• 28:18
  how old I was, I'll save face and say I was like five,
• 28:22
  yeah, probably twenty three. Yeah, So I was really sad about it.
• 28:29
  And my dad's like, okay, tell you what, I have a
• 28:32
  game that's like Mario on the computer. You can you can try it out,
• 28:37
  you and you and your brother can try it out. And so we
• 28:38
  moved up this game. Commander Keene was like, oh cool. My brother
• 28:42
  starts playing, finishes a level and my dad's like, all right, playos
• 28:47
  Istern and I get up and to the level, walk right for about two
• 28:51
  seconds, fall into a pit and die and that was it. My dad's
• 28:55
  like, okay, time for bad kids. I think we've all learned lesson
• 29:00
  he handed. I'm an early riser and I'm sure my parents hated that.
• 29:06
  Now that I have kids, I hate when my kids are up early.
• 29:07
  And so I was probably up six o'clock in the morning, went downstairs,
• 29:12
  turned on that computer and started playing Commander Keen and just played and played and
• 29:17
  played. It was only the first of many episodes of Commander Keen, and
• 29:22
  eventually I played all of my own, all of them. The Keen community
• 29:26
  became my home for many years. Nice and it was a small one,
• 29:30
  but I mean, I'm still still in contact. And actually the craziest thing
• 29:36
  was on Twitch. While I streamed on Twitch, I'm part of the retro
• 29:38
  community. I feel like, at least maybe they don't know I'm there,
• 29:41
  but I'm I'm part of the community. And one of the streamers from there
• 29:47
  she's like, oh, hey, Flayo's I was like a fan of yours
• 29:51
  when I was a kid, Like what you banned me from the Commander Keen
• 29:56
  form, Like what, oh my god, I some some person who's now
• 30:03
  no longer a kid recognized me from the Commander Keen fandom, you know,
• 30:07
  twenty years later, and it is crazy to me. But that's great,
• 30:11
  that is really inspiring, despite how you hilariously teed up that it's I love
• 30:18
  the fandom through the through the years, through the ages thing of like being
• 30:22
  part of a small community and then going into a wider community and bumping into
• 30:26
  maybe some of those people along the way. And also, look this,
• 30:29
  we're gonna run out of fandoms eventually in several years time, I'll come call
• 30:33
  in for a Command of Keen episode and I'll learn all about it. Yes,
• 30:37
  I'll bring in the others fantastic stuff. Okay, And finally, Audra,
• 30:44
  what is inspiring you? This one can be a little bit broader and
• 30:48
  it might be a cheating thing because I said it earlier. Women who start
• 30:52
  gaming late, because I have found like I understand that like there is less
• 31:00
  of it now, but especially growing up, it was very gender coded about
• 31:06
  who was allowed to game and who when they tried, would get the controller
• 31:10
  taken away from them, Like you don't know how to play? This let
• 31:14
  me do it type of situations, and so I think there's a lot of
• 31:17
  things. Once I got older that I was like, no, there are
• 31:21
  some amazing worlds that I'm just missing out on and just finding the broader network
• 31:27
  of women who game. Before the Nancy Drew episode, I watched the streamers
• 31:33
  gab Smolders did all of the Nancy Drew, almost all of the Nancy Drew
• 31:37
  games entirely start to finish, and I binged it and I was like,
• 31:44
  oh my gosh, I forgot about this. And so it's just great to
• 31:48
  engage with the wider gaming world now that I'm a grown up and I don't
• 31:55
  have to have the ideals of anybody else placed upon me exactly. So yes,
• 32:01
  i'd be I'd be a dick if I said that wasn't inspiring. That's
• 32:04
  very inspiring. That's that's good. Then I'll fight you. Like, you
• 32:08
  know, there's there's this big like speed running community, uh you know throughout
• 32:13
  you know, Games Done Quick has like multiple events per year. I just
• 32:15
  found out about last year a group called Frame Fatales and it's an it's an
• 32:21
  all women speed running group that hosts multiple events and they're awesome. So if
• 32:28
  you ever want to see women not only playing and enjoying games, but absolutely
• 32:31
  destroying them, there you go, Frame Fatales shack. It's very good.
• 32:37
  It's very good. Promise fantastic. I think we're all feeling inspired, right,
• 32:40
  that was a lot of inspiring stuff from you, all right, that
• 32:44
  h y'all, as I should start saying, you are in America. My
• 32:49
  friends make fun of me because I moved from a city in Alberta, Canada,
• 32:52
  where they speak kind of straight laced to the south and Alberta, and
• 32:55
  so I've picked up the y'all and they're all just like, oh, y'all,
• 32:59
  y'all, each and every one of you, what are you up?
• 33:04
  It's a good easy word. I love a useful term. Exactly. I
• 33:09
  used a boat the other day, the first time. I'm originally from America.
• 33:14
  I moved to Canada and I used a boat the other day. And
• 33:16
  uh, no one has stopped laughing. Ever, oh we all did just
• 33:24
  stop laughing. Then, I'm sorry, heart of course, of course.
• 33:30
  Okay, teams, let's boot uPAR rigs are lighting rakes and our Diana riggs
• 33:35
  as we stream into round one. Round one is our classic trivia game of
• 33:45
  deliberation, elimination, and deception. I will name a category and then offer
• 33:50
  each team a list of five things from that category, except I won't because
• 33:54
  two of them will be incorrect answers. One by one, pairs must select
• 34:00
  correct answers from the list, scoring a point for each, But select an
• 34:02
  incorrect answer and you'll be frozen out of your list. Crashed, bricked,
• 34:07
  obsolete. So we will begin commend dot com strike. I just had my
• 34:21
  PC break on me. Do not, so it's not good if I say
• 34:24
  the word bricked. Yeah, please, Okay, okay, what about red
• 34:30
  Ring of Death? Can we go? That's that's fair? That's consoles they
• 34:34
  can break. Yeah, screw consoles, we hate them. I begin by
• 34:39
  naming the category. There'll be a list for each pair. The first category
• 34:44
  is games that have sold more than five million copies on PC's games that have
• 34:50
  sold more than five million copies just on PC. I chose this category because
• 34:54
  gamers like it when big numbers go up. Right, Hey, we will
• 35:00
  begin with the fourth Street Saints, and here is your list of five games,
• 35:05
  Spore, the SIMS three, Gary's Mode, roller Coaster, Tycoon,
• 35:13
  and Powell World. This is gonna be hard and I thought, I don't
• 35:19
  know what I was expecting. I'm gonna say right off the bat that Spoor
• 35:22
  definitely didn't sell that many copies. Yeah, I think Spoor was a pretty
• 35:28
  massive disappointment, So I feel like we can safely say that's probably one of
• 35:31
  the fake ones. I feel pretty strongly that the SIMS three is going to
• 35:36
  be correct. That I'm not too sure on because yeah, like, don't
• 35:39
  get me wrong, it's sold well, but the SIMS four sold better,
• 35:44
  so I'm not sure how good that good was. Well. Powell World is
• 35:51
  probably the most recent of them, but it's also pretty populars Yeah, are
• 35:55
  we still saying Gangbusters? I quite like we can say of Gangbusters? Okay,
• 36:00
  perfect those copies like hotcakes. Get We're not saying hotcakes. We'll say
• 36:07
  gang Busters, but we won't say hotcakes. Let's not get crazy. I
• 36:13
  feel like I got roller Coaster Tycoon in a box of Cereals, So I
• 36:15
  don't know if that one counts. I think it might, honestly, because
• 36:20
  I didn't buy someone bought the box of cereal that it came in, so
• 36:23
  technically my mom was not looking when I put that in the car. What
• 36:31
  do you want to start with Do you want to start with Power World?
• 36:34
  Yeah, I'll say that that's that's it. I'm gonna say that's that's all
• 36:37
  right, But we're both gonna lock in Power World, and you are absolutely
• 36:40
  correct. Power World, despite being relatively recent, has already sold twelve million
• 36:45
  copies. Good lord, all right, one down the machine gun. That's
• 36:51
  a that's all you need. So that's one point you've got. Spare the
• 36:54
  SIMS three, Gary's Mode and Roller Coaster Tycoon. Gary's MOUD is stupid popular,
• 37:02
  stupid popular. I'm gonna I think Gary's Mod is the next one.
• 37:05
  Everyone everyone was in that, all right? You both going with Gary's Mod?
• 37:07
  Yes, absolutely, Gary's Mod has sold twenty million copies. Okay,
• 37:14
  so it just comes down to the SIMS three. We're writing off sport.
• 37:16
  It just comes down to the SIMS three or why can I not remember the
• 37:21
  other one? And does that mean it's not important? It is? Yes,
• 37:27
  roller Coaster born here. Roller Coaster Tycoon was really good and a lot
• 37:30
  of people really loved it, but I don't know that it was as popular
• 37:35
  as the SIMS. Yeah. This, I feel like the SIMS is one
• 37:39
  of those games. It's very popular but kind of Niche as well, at
• 37:44
  least until more recently with EA becoming EA. But I don't know if it
• 37:51
  was five million popular as opposed to roller poster Tycoon, where everyone and their
• 37:57
  mom was on the computer playing that in like the nineties. All Right,
• 38:00
  I'll trust your judgment. You want to go with a roller coaster Tycoon,
• 38:05
  I might have to. I might have to. All right, let's do
• 38:07
  it, roller coast going with roller coaster Tycoon. It's not I'm afraid you
• 38:12
  are frozen out of the list. Roller Coaster Tycoon. It sold four million
• 38:15
  copies, so very close. It was a tough one. It was.
• 38:23
  Indeed, the SIMS three yes, sold seven million copies, so less than
• 38:28
  the previous two. So you were right to be deliberating over those two.
• 38:30
  Those were the closest to five million. Spore sold one and a half million
• 38:35
  copies. You were right to point point that one out and eliminate it immediately.
• 38:39
  But two out of three points for your list. Let's move on over
• 38:43
  to Fancy Drew and offer the list of five games here. Here they are
• 38:47
  Minecraft, Armor three, Half Life, Euro Truck Simulator two, and where
• 38:58
  in the world is Carmen San die Go? Okay, I have no idea
• 39:04
  what armor three is, so I mean that's not a good sign. Yeah,
• 39:07
  so we can push that down the list to see if we can get
• 39:12
  a couple of points before having to make bigger bets. I don't have much
• 39:16
  knowledge, but I feel like Minecraft is all the kids and also me like
• 39:24
  Minecraft. Yeah yeah, I think it's sold like three hundred trillion copies or
• 39:29
  something. So I think we'll just we'll go with Minecraft because I would be
• 39:32
  extremely surprised secure a point. Yes, you know, lock it down all
• 39:37
  right? Wouldn't it be strange if it wasn't Minecraft. It is the world?
• 39:42
  Something would be wrong. Absolutely, thirty three million copies, I believe,
• 39:46
  seconds of all time, all of Cana. We all bought one.
• 39:51
  I have multiple copies of I actually do too. I do too, not
• 39:54
  even a lie After that, I mean it gets a little tricky except euro
• 40:00
  Truck Simulator. I feel like, I mean, Loveless played it. So
• 40:05
  it's got to be popular, right. So I did mention my love of
• 40:08
  niche communities, right because I actually know what Arma three is? Are Arma
• 40:16
  three? Not? I heard armor three? Okay, that's on me.
• 40:21
  I know it's on my accent as well, for sure. The wrench in
• 40:25
  the works of the educational game in there that I don't know if it definitely
• 40:30
  it's like, oh, yeah, everybody bought their kid that I had two
• 40:32
  copies of that, But I don't know if I was just an outlier.
• 40:37
  I mean, like because we're in the world with Karma San Diego, like
• 40:39
  I feel like everybody had it, But how many people actually had computers back
• 40:44
  then? Is because I remember Missed made so many sales, but it was
• 40:50
  still like it sold a million copies and that was a big deal back in
• 40:52
  the midnight round breaking. Yeah, and so where in the world is Karmasandia.
• 40:57
  I don't know if are all versions of the game count it or just
• 41:00
  the original version or the list is according to Wikipedia and Okay said it was
• 41:06
  just the thing that I remembered was PC copies only, so maybe it could
• 41:09
  include like multiple versions of the same the same game. I would assume re
• 41:15
  releases would count, but not like where in Time where in the USA?
• 41:21
  Sure, I think it would leave those out, but if the if the
• 41:23
  game was re released later on, it would probably count, yeah, because
• 41:28
  the re releases aren't remakes. But I feel if there's anything you feel more
• 41:32
  confident in I will defer to your judgment. Okay, so we had,
• 41:37
  we had Arma three, we had We're in the world's crmeen Sa Diego.
• 41:42
  You also have, of course, yeah, Minecraft, you've already got and
• 41:45
  Half Life and euro Truck Simulator too. Okay, half Life, I feel
• 41:49
  very strongly is going to be up there at least eight million copies or something.
• 41:53
  So that's going to be probably our smartest next bet, just to ensure
• 41:58
  next points. Okay, let's go for that. You're going with half Life.
• 42:01
  It's not half Life. I'm so sorry you're frozen out of the list.
• 42:06
  Yeah. I was shocked by this as well, which is why I
• 42:08
  included it as a little trap. Two million copies sold on p set.
• 42:13
  Yet how many of you stole their game? I'm calling the police here,
• 42:21
  you guys steal there. Yeah, so that's that's the end of your runners.
• 42:27
  The other two games that sold more than five million, Euro Truck Simulator
• 42:31
  two sold fifteen millions, and there Armor three sold five and a half million,
• 42:39
  just over the threshold. Where in the world is common? San Diego
• 42:43
  only sold four million, so only wow, only four I can't believe that
• 42:49
  was half Like wow? All right, that's okay, we got we got
• 42:52
  more categories, we got more lists. So moving on to the next category,
• 42:54
  and the category is Indie game studios. And it's simple. These indie
• 43:00
  game developers real developers or did I make them up last night? Oh so
• 43:07
  we will move back on over to the fourth Street Saints. Here is your
• 43:10
  list of five studios. Hazel Light Studios, Moose Creates, Hello Games,
• 43:20
  World Works, and Young Horses. Wow, the only one of the things
• 43:24
  I recognized was Hello Games. Yes, Sam, all right, well we'll
• 43:30
  take that one, because that's the free point you're going with Hello Games.
• 43:32
  Yeah, there's the free point. No Man's skye. I think their upcoming
• 43:38
  game looks super interesting too. Oh yeah, it's like an open world RPG
• 43:45
  fantasy magical situation and it'll be fantastic three to five years after launch. Absolutely
• 43:52
  listen man, as long as it becomes a good game at some point,
• 43:54
  that is true. That's truly impressive how much they put into it to keep
• 43:59
  it going. We had a lot of fun with Noman Sky recently, me
• 44:01
  and my friends, we just got back into it again and it was an
• 44:05
  absolute blast. So hell yes, yeah. Mean dedication is that it's I
• 44:09
  I appreciate them continuing to put in the work. As far as the other
• 44:14
  ones, Hazel Light, Moose Creates, I'm not feeling confident. No,
• 44:22
  you've just got weld Works and Young Horses. I feel like weld Works sounds
• 44:28
  like a real one. I'm like gaming the game here, and this has
• 44:32
  backfired on me in the past. But Young Horses sound so ridiculous as a
• 44:37
  name that it almost has to be real. I got us locked out last
• 44:44
  time. So I'll let you make the big choice. All right, I'm
• 44:45
  gonna I'm gonna, I'm gonna strike for it. I'm gonna try for young
• 44:49
  Horses. You going for young Horses? Yeah, this is a real studio,
• 44:52
  the Octo Dad and bug Snacks. I should have known that. See
• 45:00
  I didn't play either of those. Okay, So all we've got lefter Hazel
• 45:05
  Light Studios, Moose Creates, and Wild Works. Yes, indeed, none
• 45:14
  of them sound familiar to me, and none of them jump out at me
• 45:15
  as being like gamey answers, unlike young voices. So if you really think
• 45:22
  World Works is a thing, I'll go with that. Choices, I trust
• 45:30
  your judgment. Don't do that. That's a terrible choice. Oh God,
• 45:36
  that's next thing. You know. I'm gonna be like, yeah, bro,
• 45:37
  you should definitely invest man getting a crypto, dude, It's getting like,
• 45:43
  it's amazing the moon Man. Take listen. I'm highly impressionable and you've
• 45:52
  already invested Chambers here spend money to make money. Thanks, Joe. You
• 46:02
  just want to go with world Works, you said, so, I'll let's
• 46:07
  let's take a shot. All right, you're going with world Works. It
• 46:10
  is not world Works. They are they are a brewery here in Colorado.
• 46:16
  I know, well now that everyone knows I'm an alcoholic. Is it Moose
• 46:23
  Creates. It's not Moose Creates Creates. I was like, if I could
• 46:31
  pick one of the two, I would have gone with Moose Creates because I'm
• 46:34
  like, yeah, you're gonna remember that Studios made Hazel like studios they did.
• 46:39
  It takes two couch co op multiplayers. It's so fun. So now
• 46:45
  let's have a list of five indie games for fancy Drew looking again, some
• 46:50
  more points on the board. Here is your list of five studios. Super
• 46:53
  Giant Games, Big dev Giant, Squid, Night School Studio, and Delightful
• 47:01
  Sausage. I'm not allowed to speak. I think I know all three.
• 47:13
  Oh no, I do not think I know all three. Yeah, And
• 47:17
  I was feeling so confident because I knew too of theirs. Oh yeah,
• 47:22
  that why, that's why I didn't give them. So I was like,
• 47:27
  maybe I know more than I think I do. I don't. Yeah,
• 47:30
  based on instinct, Giant Giant, super Giant. That sounds familiar. But
• 47:37
  I mean, I'm not a big indie game player. I'm mostly stick to
• 47:40
  the old stuff, so it's it's hard for me to say, honestly,
• 47:45
  we can go with one on you since neither of us. Okay, I
• 47:49
  got it wrong last time, so I think it's true, girls, time
• 47:52
  to go for something. Gosh. Then that means do I go with the
• 48:00
  one that you thought because you? I mean, oh, now, it
• 48:06
  is one of the ones that I thought was in my top two, So
• 48:10
  we will go with the super You going with super Giant Games Giant, Absolutely,
• 48:15
  that's a point. Super Giant Games is real. They made Hades.
• 48:19
  Oh that's where I've seen yep. As for the other ones, I mean,
• 48:22
  I'm really not sure what was the second one we were thinking. I
• 48:25
  thought World Works might be one just because of like back of the mind memory
• 48:30
  of no that's a brewery here in Colorado, but I don't know where.
• 48:36
  Delightful Sausage. I was like, that's a thing that has like stuck in
• 48:38
  the back of my mind. So that is something whether it is an indie
• 48:43
  gamers studio or not. I'll mention at this point where husband and wife.
• 48:46
  Yeah, according to my lawyer again not allowed to speak. I'm trying to
• 48:55
  not make him say them all over again. Kind if you'd liked you one
• 48:59
  more time more time, Yep, you've got big, dev giant squid,
• 49:04
  night School Studio and Delightful Sausage. I also feel like Night School Studio feels
• 49:09
  like a thing of like people were working a job and then went to night
• 49:13
  school, figured out how to make games, and then made games. That
• 49:15
  sounds very realistic, Okay, I mean, if we're gonna go off,
• 49:19
  I feel like going off on Delightful Sausage would be it would be it would
• 49:23
  be a fun oneted yeah to lose on all right, you're going for Delightful
• 49:29
  Sausage for the joke, for the law. Delightful Sausage is not. I'm
• 49:36
  so sorry. They are a combat duo from the UK. Oh, Aaron,
• 49:39
  I think I know what The other two are I think their Night School
• 49:43
  Studio and Giant Squid. Absolutely those are the other two. I won't give
• 49:47
  you a Night School. Night School did Oxen free that is correct, what
• 49:58
  Giant Squid did, and the Pathless and the upcoming Sword of the Sea.
• 50:02
  I think of okay, buzz heading into their third game. I think Big
• 50:07
  Dev was made up fair enough. I knew that, all right. One
• 50:14
  last category in this round, we're kind of going back to a similar thing
• 50:17
  from the first category, but specifically something that two members of this call should
• 50:22
  have some knowledge about, maybe even three actually with what Aaron has revealed.
• 50:28
  So I am looking for gog dot com top selling games of all time,
• 50:34
  so not including DLC or expansions of any kind as of yesterday, Which games
• 50:39
  appear on the first page or the top forty eight best selling games on gog
• 50:46
  dot com, and all of the incorrect answers will be placed fifty one through
• 50:52
  ninety six on that list, so you they will also be there. You
• 50:58
  not delightful sausage. So I thought this would please everyone. Wicked wiener Umbridge
• 51:08
  inducing. Okay, so the brought worst it was worth it. The Fourth
• 51:15
  Street Saints, here is your list. Of five games fall Out New Vegas,
• 51:22
  Pharaoh and Cleopatra, Star Wars, Battlefront two, Knox, and The
• 51:29
  Witcher Too Assassins of Kings Knox. I don't think sold as well. For
• 51:35
  sure. It's one of the ones I've had my eye on, but when
• 51:37
  I've seen people play it, the viewership isn't like super high. So it's
• 51:42
  just one of the ones I want to play, but I don't think I
• 51:44
  have because like the control scheme is weird and I need to like mentally prepare
• 51:47
  myself. So I'm going to say that's not on the list, Yeah,
• 51:52
  or at least tie up on the list. Yeah. I feel like Witcher
• 51:57
  two could be. I know it. It's not as big as sellers,
• 52:00
  which you're three. The only other one I've got feelings about is Pharaoh and
• 52:07
  Cleopatra is stupidly popular, even though it's not my kind of game and I
• 52:10
  didn't know it existed, But I know a lot of people really dig that
• 52:16
  game and that it is constantly high up on the sales shirts despite my still
• 52:22
  to this day, continuing to be completely ignorant of it. Fallout New Vegas
• 52:28
  feels like a gimme. Yeah, I feel like that's definitely high r on
• 52:31
  the list. That's the closest thing to something I'm confident in. Mm hmmm.
• 52:37
  Do you agree the Star Wars agreed? Yeah. The Star Wars one
• 52:40
  I think also sold really well, but I don't know if it's sold as
• 52:45
  well enough to be in the top of e tippity top top No, especially
• 52:49
  because the others are just on the second page. I am a bast that
• 52:54
  you are. I fall Out New Vegas. Do you think in let's reach
• 53:00
  for that one, Let's go for that. Absolutely, fall Out You Vegas
• 53:04
  was very high up on that list, if not first, it was top
• 53:07
  row, very very popular. I think the Witcher two might actually be a
• 53:13
  red herring. I don't. I don't feel like the Witcher two sold as
• 53:16
  well as one and three. Well, I know it didn't sell as well
• 53:20
  as three. Three sold like Young Blusters. Three is absolutely on there can
• 53:23
  say that if it's on your second list, I apologize and you're welcome three
• 53:31
  points. Laos probably knows anyway, But why is Pharaoh and Cleopatra there?
• 53:39
  I'm gonna say that's on the front page. I'm going to go with you.
• 53:44
  I'm going to go with you on that you're both saying Pharaoh and Cleopatra
• 53:49
  it is. Yeah, absolutely, it is all that. Yeah, I
• 53:52
  still don't know why it's. I feel like it's a super popular or super
• 53:55
  popular in Eastern Europe, and I'm not sure exactly why, but it's It's
• 53:59
  one of those gay that I'd never heard of before I got to Gog,
• 54:01
  and I feel like a lot of the games that are like that are the
• 54:04
  ones that were like German City Builders or something else that like all the Polish
• 54:07
  people loved for whatever reason, because Gog is Polish, the Polish people,
• 54:12
  you know, it just all comes together. So no perfect. I played
• 54:15
  this one as a kid. I remember playing Pharaoh and Cleopatra. I loved
• 54:19
  it. I played the what was it Zeus and Poseidon version and yeah,
• 54:23
  city building lovely stuff. Anyway, it was nice to see a game that
• 54:28
  I'd not thought about in twenty years just there was probably right now you should
• 54:31
  just go mind. Is it available for Mac? It might be actually actually
• 54:37
  games on Dog are are Mac compatible as well? Nice? Nice? You
• 54:42
  have one correct answer remaining on that list, which three games Boks Witcher two
• 54:47
  and Star Wars Battlefront two. I'm going to say Star Wars Battlefront two.
• 54:54
  No, I was gonna say, you don't think it's a red hearing,
• 54:57
  because I think it might be. Should we go with the Witcher? If
• 55:00
  I had wrote, if I had written this list, out of those three,
• 55:04
  the correct answer would be knocks, I don't think it's not on.
• 55:07
  The other two would be red herrings designed to make you think they're going to
• 55:10
  be up there. All right, we'll go with your suggestion. No heard
• 55:17
  you write books so much conviction of this is what I do. Let's go
• 55:24
  with it. No, Baron and I both make these kinds of games on
• 55:30
  the RECU list, so you'd think it would be easier, but it actually
• 55:32
  gets more confusing. Is genuinely more confusing. Do you do you want to
• 55:37
  go with your PC gaming gut or my my gaming about PC gaming gut?
• 55:47
  I don't know. Like, like I said, I don't really think it's
• 55:50
  the Witcher too, because I don't think that one sells as well as the
• 55:52
  other two. And with the Star Wars battle Front, I know that's multiplayer
• 55:58
  and that doesn't tend to sell games. No, No, on god,
• 56:01
  my gut's saying Knox is on page two. But I could be wrong because
• 56:06
  I feel like Actually, when I do open the page, I feel like
• 56:08
  I see knocks a lot o. Listen, we've taken way too much time
• 56:10
  already, and and we've gotten two points already. So if we don't get
• 56:16
  the third, big whoop, let's let's let's go with my my guts.
• 56:23
  Gaming MAT's the game master, and I'm gonna say Knox all right, going
• 56:29
  with knocks. It's not Knocks. Knoxes is on page two. It was
• 56:34
  the Witch of to Assassins of Wow. Okay, the one we'd both written
• 56:38
  off. You've both written it off. Yeah. Yeah. Even though it
• 56:43
  didn't sell as well as Witch or three, it's still sold pretty well.
• 56:45
  I never played that one, so I I like, watched someone play and
• 56:49
  I was like, yeah, you play that game, and then I never
• 56:51
  with you. I honestly like two better than the first one. I didn't
• 56:54
  like the first one all that much. It was I didn't get too far
• 56:58
  in the first one. It was very complicated and kind of unwieldy. But
• 57:00
  the second one was a little bit more. It was a little bit more
• 57:04
  user friendly. It was sort of consoleized because they planned on bringing it to
• 57:07
  consoles anyway, so but that also made it easier to play and in my
• 57:12
  mind easier to enjoy. But anyway, you're there, so two points on
• 57:15
  that list. Another good showing. We'll take the fourth street thinks. The
• 57:19
  final list of the round for Fancy Drew. Here it is your list of
• 57:22
  gog dot com best selling games. The Elder Scrolls three morrowind Doom, Stronghold,
• 57:30
  HD, Star Wars, Knights of the Old Republic, and Cyberpunk twenty
• 57:37
  seventy seven. Well, I mean, Cyberpunk should be a gimme, but
• 57:42
  because it's been on that best selling list for a long time. But whether
• 57:45
  if it's on the all time list is the quest question? Is it a
• 57:49
  trick? I don't know. I'm almost afraid other ones that feel like they
• 57:55
  would be higher up, just because if they've made it to my knowledge as
• 58:01
  prevalent, than they probably aren't. Like Doom has made it to my knowledge
• 58:06
  as a prevalent game. So that's another one probably that I'd put up there
• 58:13
  in my instinct or any I know. There's a lot of tracks and traps
• 58:16
  and tricks that are being played. Do any of these feel like a gimme?
• 58:21
  Well, that's the issue. They all strongholds, Well, strongholds probably
• 58:27
  the answer right. I feel like Knights of the Old Republic is just one
• 58:34
  of those games that everyone owns. It's another one that has made it to
• 58:37
  my knowledge. So you're going with Knights of the Old Republic, let's do
• 58:43
  it. It is correct. That is on the first page of gog dot
• 58:50
  com games. And then I feel like Cyberpunk. If I was going to
• 58:54
  go between my two options, I probably of my two instincts, i'd probably
• 58:58
  go for Cyberpunk just because of the recency and so like, it doesn't need
• 59:06
  as much of enduring. Yeah, no, no selections. So if I
• 59:13
  was gonna rank my two instincts, it would be that do without what you
• 59:16
  will. Okay, I think that's pretty strong. Marrowin, I mean,
• 59:22
  Maro wins such a good game. Apparently I've never played it because I'm a
• 59:23
  heathen, but it's it's it's supposed to be a good game. Doom.
• 59:29
  I'm not sure about it. I mean, it's it's extremely popular, but
• 59:31
  it was late coming to gog and it would already been on Steam for a
• 59:35
  long time, so I'm not sure. See this is the insider information.
• 59:40
  This is this. Yeah, it couldn't just be like here's a mite Magic
• 59:43
  three because that's been the top seller for like a decade at least. Again,
• 59:47
  let's stop, let's go Cyberpunk. Cyberpunk twenty seventy seven. Cyberpunk twenty
• 59:52
  seventy seven is a top seven game. Yes, absolutely, there's a points.
• 59:58
  There's just one more left to find. Morrowind Doom and Stronghold HD.
• 1:00:05
  I'm kind of I've kind of mentally eliminated Dune since Doom Doom. I called
• 1:00:10
  it Dune. It's fine. We watched Dune last night, mentally eliminated Doom
• 1:00:16
  since it was late. Okay, So I feel like that's what he was
• 1:00:21
  going for. I think if I if like instinct, says Marlwind Gaming Gaming
• 1:00:27
  says Stronghold, which which one? Which one? Do you think the first
• 1:00:30
  one? Just because of the context of the episode in that it has been
• 1:00:34
  mentioned as a loved game, So go for Elder Scrolls. Elder Scrolls,
• 1:00:39
  Moral Wind Wind, You're going for the Elder Scrolls. Mara Winds to be
• 1:00:45
  the first team in this round to complete a list full list of three Yes.
• 1:00:51
  No, would you have managed to achieve Yes? If you would have
• 1:00:57
  dangled that, and then we would have been wrong. I would have been
• 1:01:02
  all right, that's the end of round one. Better get my sixty four
• 1:01:06
  gigabytes of RAM to calculate the latest scores. A calculator only needs eight killerbytes
• 1:01:13
  of RAM. But it's nice to know I've got the memory. Yes,
• 1:01:15
  you can run sixty four million calculators if we need. I'll still cast because
• 1:01:23
  we have the Fourth Street Saints on six points in the lead, but just
• 1:01:28
  behind them on five points is Fancy Drew. Well done up. Next is
• 1:01:34
  round two, but first we have to play some commercials. They'll either be
• 1:01:37
  for a new graphics card and energy drink, or recruiting you into the military
• 1:01:40
  at a time where we're inching ever closer to a global conflict. Try not
• 1:01:45
  to panic back soon. Round two is our improv round, and it's called
• 1:01:54
  stream of Consciousness. I have sent each of our players a list of seven
• 1:01:59
  video games. In turn, our players will have two minutes to communicate as
• 1:02:04
  many of those games to their teammate as possible without saying any of the words
• 1:02:08
  in the title of the games. And I'd like our communicators to communicate as
• 1:02:15
  though they are streaming the game, kind of doing commentary over the top of
• 1:02:17
  it, or describing what they're doing, or just chatting casually to their audience
• 1:02:22
  about the game. As long as you don't use any of the words in
• 1:02:24
  the title of the video game, I will allow it. The person who's
• 1:02:28
  guessing, you're allowed to pass and just like move on to the next one
• 1:02:30
  and get that person to act out and perform a different game. But the
• 1:02:36
  idea is that you've got to try and get through as many as possible within
• 1:02:39
  two minutes to score as many points. Any questions, any question does the
• 1:02:45
  list? Does it have to be consecutive in the way that it was written
• 1:02:49
  in the list? Or are going to be any game? You can do
• 1:02:52
  it in any order? Yeah, you can pick the order that you do
• 1:02:54
  in I'm going to make it unnecessarily harder on myself and do it pyramid style.
• 1:02:59
  So I am going to in order, Okayne, if only because the
• 1:03:02
  last one seems next to impossible. But we'll get there. So it will
• 1:03:08
  be Aaron going first, and it will be Lovelust guessing on the fly.
• 1:03:15
  So as soon as you know Lovelust, just just shout out the game as
• 1:03:16
  soon as you know what Aaron is talking about, and Aaron can move on
• 1:03:20
  to the next one. Right, I'm ready, all Right, Aaron,
• 1:03:23
  I will start the timer as soon as you start talking. I just shouted
• 1:03:28
  those skeleton nurtures off a cliff, thank you. Yeah, man. I
• 1:03:34
  I'm no good at getting these creatures to get themselves to the exit, but
• 1:03:38
  I enjoy watching them all explodes. And you know, these these creatures aren't
• 1:03:44
  exactly like they're they're They're told like it was all came from a bad Disney
• 1:03:49
  documentary that claimed they did this thing, but they don't. Uh. And
• 1:03:53
  I can make them have ladders and i can make them dig ditches, but
• 1:03:57
  I'm just no good at this, so I'm gonna pass. Hey, I've
• 1:04:01
  got my own farm here and I'm gonna grow some rude begas. I've cleared
• 1:04:04
  out some trees and uh, I'm so glad that this uh, this legacy
• 1:04:12
  uh homage tow Harvest Moon came out when it did, and I'm glad the
• 1:04:15
  guy has made a ton of money off it started Valiant. Yes, yes,
• 1:04:20
  okay, So I'm gonna go with the og mod that that allows me
• 1:04:24
  to break into people's apartments easier. I've never been much on the run and
• 1:04:29
  gun aspect of this game, but I love doing the stealth uh and the
• 1:04:33
  uh. And Paul Denton, I mean he's a he's a just a cracking
• 1:04:39
  character for a guy who has a monotone voice. And uh, this is
• 1:04:42
  the game of the Year edition of this is fantastic. It's got everything.
• 1:04:46
  Did you know it's uh, it's the title is Latin for God out of
• 1:04:51
  and I assume it meant got out of the machine, but it only did
• 1:04:54
  the first two decent Thank you, nice nice. This This is a this
• 1:05:00
  is more like Fallout four than I thought. But it's it's got this really
• 1:05:02
  futuristic, uh anti corporation vibe that I really dig. It's really colorful and
• 1:05:09
  uh and it's just uh, really exciting to shoot everything, all these strange
• 1:05:14
  alien creatures. Uh and you know, take quests and so forth. Ten
• 1:05:18
  seconds and uh and uh these uh these Spacer's choice your time from the thing.
• 1:05:29
  But this, Aaron, do you want to reveal what it What it
• 1:05:33
  was? It was the outer worlds, right, I was like, yes,
• 1:05:38
  spacers. And the one, the one with the creatures I was trying
• 1:05:42
  to get you to get earlier was Lemmings. Oh see I never played that
• 1:05:45
  one Classic Vintage and we didn't have time to get to a to a couple
• 1:05:51
  of others. God, I was not looking forward to listen to this Chest
• 1:05:57
  Titans for Windows seven. When I was younger, maybe that was probably in
• 1:06:02
  a university. I remember trying to play that online because you could play online
• 1:06:04
  in Chest Titans, I think, and I use like a cheat. Oh
• 1:06:09
  no, you know what. I used it to try and cheat on like
• 1:06:11
  chest dot com or something when I was younger. So I would put their
• 1:06:14
  move into cheat chest don't cheat. Don't cheat, it's bad. Yeah,
• 1:06:19
  never get caught cheating kids, especially not on chest dot com. They will
• 1:06:24
  come true. You You got to use beads and never mind. Yeah,
• 1:06:29
  that's the way, that's how you cheat. I've literally been taught chess four
• 1:06:32
  different times for separate occasions. I remember in the moment and as soon as
• 1:06:36
  I get up from the chess tea table, it is deleted from my brain,
• 1:06:41
  deleted. Post Queen scamp it, I got so deep into like chess,
• 1:06:46
  like chest streaming, like I was watching everything that I can. Hey,
• 1:06:51
  but you got three out of seven games. I think that's pretty good
• 1:06:55
  considering how chaotic this mode of describing games. Yeah. Uh so we'll move
• 1:07:00
  on over to Fancy Drew now and it's gonna be Oldra the Flayoffs. Are
• 1:07:06
  you ready Oldra? Yeah, I'm just gonna be thrown out as much information
• 1:07:15
  as I know about any of these games. Absolutely, I will start the
• 1:07:18
  tim as soon as you start talking. So I'm playing the second game in
• 1:07:23
  this title series. I think it's related to Half Life. I'm not sure.
• 1:07:26
  I'm just starting it up. I know there's there's guns that are gonna
• 1:07:31
  take me from one place to another. Yes, cool, awesome. You
• 1:07:36
  know I'm gonna switch to a different game this game. Cool, don't laugh.
• 1:07:45
  Oh shit, switching to a different game. This one was recommended to
• 1:07:48
  me by a great streamer. Go check out Lovelust. She used to play
• 1:07:53
  it Marwin at her at her school. One of the first games that she
• 1:07:59
  used to play. That isn't that one? It is like an average of
• 1:08:03
  like Kingdoms, this one. I so excited about this game. Retro vibe
• 1:08:10
  but it's modern. It's a There's this guy and his noggin is a jug.
• 1:08:17
  Uh So this this game. They just made a HBO series about this
• 1:08:29
  specific exeption and it's Pedro. Pascal has to transport a young girl across the
• 1:08:38
  nation and they are what am I talking about I'm sorry, the last of
• 1:08:43
  us and it's not the second one I'll give I'll give it. It's just
• 1:08:46
  a specific I'll give you the last. Ye forgot the I'm so excited to
• 1:08:53
  be delving into dad games as I have my foot pedals and my joystick and
• 1:08:59
  I'm going to soar across the sky fifteen seconds mm in uh flight simular,
• 1:09:08
  Microsoft light simular. Okay, yeah, nice Microsoft Flight simulator. A good
• 1:09:12
  stuff. This is I'm going to play a traditional arcade style game on my
• 1:09:18
  that's your time, that's your time. Hey you got you got five?
• 1:09:23
  That was pretty good girl. Yeah, it's a powerful cheer. I just
• 1:09:30
  know that I'm going to be better at describing them based on vibes then I
• 1:09:35
  probably will be at guessing them. So I was trying to get I was
• 1:09:40
  trying to get as many as possible. That was a good job for both
• 1:09:42
  of you that I particularly liked. What was it? A jug knocking?
• 1:09:50
  That was very good. Okay, back on over to the Fourth Street Saints.
• 1:09:55
  This time it is Lovelust who is going to be describing those games without
• 1:09:59
  saying titles for Aaron, Are you ready, Lovelust? Nope, let's do
• 1:10:03
  it. Fantastic. I will start your two minutes when you start talking.
• 1:10:09
  All right. So this one is one of those boomer shooters all the kids
• 1:10:13
  are crazy about. Yes, let's see. This one is a really great
• 1:10:20
  role playing game in space where you they made a big production about your choices
• 1:10:28
  matter and I hate this driving section. Why is it in here? Really
• 1:10:32
  don't like it? Let's ask it's a different planet. Yes, yes,
• 1:10:35
  mass effect. This time we're hanging out in a basement. I'm shooting things
• 1:10:42
  out of my eyeballs. My mom's super weird. The oh god, the
• 1:10:47
  binding of Isaac. Yes, yes, it's nice. So this one we're
• 1:10:53
  going to actually hang out online. You can play the story mode. Everyone's
• 1:10:57
  really crazy about the horses testicles. For some reason, I prefer to play
• 1:11:00
  online. Yeah, yeah, there we go. Sorry, sorry, this
• 1:11:10
  one is a lot newer, but everyone's like, oh, you died,
• 1:11:14
  okay, fine whatever. I'm just gonna play with my magic character and I
• 1:11:18
  am going to die a lot, and then we're going to challenge all these
• 1:11:24
  big bosses and just look at pretty trees. And there's a big yellow tree
• 1:11:30
  for some reason, who who thought that was a great idea? Yes?
• 1:11:35
  Nice? All right, So this one. We're going super old school.
• 1:11:41
  You have to click on these things and try not to blow up. Blow
• 1:11:45
  up. Yeah, yo, mind sweet thoughts. You have one game left
• 1:11:48
  to get uh oh uh. This one is another really classic RPG. Uh
• 1:11:55
  just had like a super huge revival with the newest game in the series wasn't
• 1:11:59
  made by their original makers though. And you make your character you wander around
• 1:12:03
  Fay run super awesome. I love it, Bard Sale, it's not and
• 1:12:11
  that's your time. I'm so sorry about hey six six out of seven.
• 1:12:15
  I was very nervous about that. You did amazing love lust. Yeah,
• 1:12:21
  I like sutally spoiled it. I feel bad, No, no, no
• 1:12:26
  no, it wasted about the writ right amount of time, me asking I
• 1:12:29
  need to hear time balder skate, Oh, son of a I'll cliff that
• 1:12:39
  reaction, Aaron, that was priceless. Okay, I should have I should
• 1:12:44
  have got that. I've spent a lot of m We're all team Halson,
• 1:12:50
  right, Allison's great, Alison's fantastic. I don't so when you said and
• 1:12:56
  that was like absolutely yes, right, I'm an Asterian boy, Yeah you
• 1:13:00
  would be. That's fine. I like Turtles. It's okay. We got
• 1:13:10
  Lazell just for you. Yes, okay, we have one final list in
• 1:13:16
  this round, and is of course the final combination. It is Flaos for
• 1:13:20
  Audra. Are you both ready sure? Yes? Okaylos, I will start
• 1:13:25
  the time of whenever you're whenever you start talking. Oh, this is a
• 1:13:28
  beautiful metropol. What disasters? Godzilla? Oh shit, be close, close,
• 1:13:36
  almost there. I I am so panicky. Okay, yeah, Breath
• 1:13:47
  of the Wild. Okay, let's let's just move on. Let's move on
• 1:13:50
  to okay. Oh, this is the greatest single player game of all time.
• 1:13:55
  It came with Windows. I just play my cards, right and I
• 1:13:59
  just solitary. Yes, it's cool. I'd play for the Horde. This
• 1:14:04
  is the greatest MMO of all time. I've sung Literal of war Craft.
• 1:14:10
  Yes, oh, it's another game from the same developers, Tracer. You
• 1:14:14
  gotta go mid shoot them down. I don't know how this game goes.
• 1:14:19
  I don't know who it's Blizzard? Uh does that one? I don't know.
• 1:14:26
  I don't know. Uh shoot me, hello, BioShock on are the
• 1:14:33
  shooty ones that people shooting? Wow? This was such a great Netflix series,
• 1:14:41
  at least maybe the first season was. But I prefer witch. I
• 1:14:45
  prefer this game. It's it's it's not the first or the second of the
• 1:14:48
  series, but it's man roach stop three. Yeah, I'll give you.
• 1:14:57
  Oh. Zombies are everywhere. It's a multi player game. I love playing
• 1:15:00
  this with my friends. There's multiple of us. And it's even in the
• 1:15:04
  title God Jesus Fucking Christ, undead killing killing so close slaying the zombies five
• 1:15:18
  slang would be something similar to its name, but I feel like that's pretty
• 1:15:21
  much cheating at this point. So we'll just five seconds slash other gilt,
• 1:15:29
  all right, that's eat them up. I would be so much better at
• 1:15:35
  describing, and so I just was like, I'm so sorry, deliberate so
• 1:15:44
  that my laughter would not interrupt like it did last time. And oh my
• 1:15:47
  god, you got you got three though, I mean that's I feel like
• 1:15:51
  that's pretty good. That's pretty good. From the wedding. Can you just
• 1:15:55
  come be like the blind interpreter, describe, would you see? I think
• 1:16:00
  it'll be amazing. Zodies everywhere. Left for dead because for those playing at
• 1:16:10
  home, the games were sim City. I don't remember that was left for
• 1:16:14
  Dead overwatched. I should have known that one because I was, yeah,
• 1:16:21
  it's fine, and there was one that I had no idea exactly how to
• 1:16:25
  explain it if you had not played it before, which is Unpacking, which
• 1:16:27
  I hear is a wonderful game, but I've never Yeah, I have it.
• 1:16:35
  Okay, you probably would have got out there. Shoot, but you
• 1:16:39
  did. You got World of Warcraft, you got Witch three, and you
• 1:16:41
  got Solitaire, so you know. Yeah, all right, that's the end
• 1:16:45
  of the round. Let's get Reddit to crowdsource the latest scores, and those
• 1:16:50
  scores are fancy Drew are on thirteen points, but the Fourth Street Saints are
• 1:16:55
  still in the lead with fifteen points. Oh it's club keeping a day.
• 1:17:01
  Round three next after these commercials, think of them as a loading screen for
• 1:17:05
  the next round. Round three is our fandom round, and it's called letting
• 1:17:15
  off some steam. In turn, I will read our team's genuine negative video
• 1:17:21
  game reviews written on the popular store Slash free consumer feedback matrix Steam. Each
• 1:17:30
  each look consumers just do marketing on behalf of the companies. Now it's weird.
• 1:17:35
  Each review is three sentences long, and I'll read them one sentence at
• 1:17:40
  a time. If a pair names the game after one sentence, they get
• 1:17:44
  three points two sentences two points and three sentences one point. But you're also
• 1:17:49
  allowed to make one guess after each sentence regardless, you're allowed just a free
• 1:17:54
  guess as to what that game might be. Yeah, that's it. That's
• 1:17:57
  what I've got in the That's what I've written as the description. Any any
• 1:18:00
  more questions makes sense? I think we're good to go. All right,
• 1:18:04
  So we will begin with the fourth Street Saints. Here is your first sentence
• 1:18:10
  of your first game review. The loading screen is longer than the entire lifetime
• 1:18:15
  of the universe. Wow, it could literally be anything. I mean,
• 1:18:23
  given given the I mean, I'm inclined to try for No Man's Sky here,
• 1:18:30
  I'm gonna guess because, like when you first jump into that game,
• 1:18:33
  the loading scrine is long and it does include the entire universe. So that's
• 1:18:41
  fair. You're throwing out No Man's Sky and Fallout seventy six. It's not
• 1:18:44
  either of those, but good, good guests. Do we each get a
• 1:18:46
  guess? Yeah? Why not? It's do you know this is gonna be
• 1:18:49
  a really difficult game? And the idea is that no one gets it on
• 1:18:53
  the first and it's just a really silly, out of context thing. Huh.
• 1:18:57
  So, yeah, we'll say, we'll say each each player gets a
• 1:19:00
  guess, So I'll move on to the next sentence. Single player is great
• 1:19:04
  online? Is trash? Loading? Loading, loading, failed to join session
• 1:19:11
  again? That could be so many things. It still could be quite a
• 1:19:15
  few things. Yeah, well, we know that single player isn't always online,
• 1:19:19
  at least if they're not having a loading issue. Yeah, sad it
• 1:19:24
  has both. Yeah, that's what I was leaning towards. Was one of
• 1:19:29
  the new Call of Duty's problem is I don't know Call of Duty well enough
• 1:19:32
  to say which one do you want to throw single player anymore? Like?
• 1:19:36
  Is that even a thing? I don't even know. I know that the
• 1:19:41
  like more Modern Warfare two remastered, which did come with single players, So
• 1:19:46
  that'll be my guest Call of Duty Modern Warfare two. All right? Do
• 1:19:49
  you want to throw out a different Call of Duty? Loved us to?
• 1:19:54
  You don't have to, I don't. I don't know the names of the
• 1:19:56
  Call of Duties. It's probably for the bad yeah you yeah, sure,
• 1:20:05
  we'll do Call of Duty the other one I love. I love playing that.
• 1:20:11
  Yeah, again, good guesses. I like where you're thinking, But
• 1:20:15
  no, I will read the final sentence now for one point welcome to Los
• 1:20:20
  Santos when ninety nine of the population are hackers. Yeah, GTA five,
• 1:20:28
  It is GTA five. Indeed, the loading screen is longer than the entire
• 1:20:31
  lifetime of the year. I love how they exaggerate. It's so good my
• 1:20:36
  favorite thing about being online, truly. That is one point there. We'll
• 1:20:42
  move on over to Fancy Drew. Here is the first sentence of your first
• 1:20:45
  review, dying and losing all XP. My XP is now gone and lost
• 1:20:50
  forever and cannot be found. Stupid game. I mean this sounds like Minecraft,
• 1:20:58
  but that's not on steams. I feel like getting it on the first
• 1:21:04
  one is so unlikely. We can throw out, yeah, she says,
• 1:21:10
  and then does anything. Balder skates three. All right, two good names
• 1:21:15
  to throw out there, but it's not either of those. So I'll move
• 1:21:17
  on to the next sentence. So close to the original game that they reintroduced
• 1:21:23
  bugs that were fixed in the Prepare to Die edition. Oh no, I
• 1:21:30
  know I know this, but I can't find the memory. Ye that is
• 1:21:31
  this podcast? Yeah? Good needs some guesses? Good need you throw out?
• 1:21:40
  Because Prepared to Die just makes me think of Princess Bride. No,
• 1:21:46
  I won't waste it on a job, Higo Montoya's Revenge. It's a sequel,
• 1:21:56
  right, so it's Princess bride To's Revenge. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
• 1:22:00
  it's like get no, Now, I'll go for another game that is
• 1:22:05
  real Starfield. We haven't mentioned Starfield. Sure, that's not gonna be here.
• 1:22:14
  I'm so embarrassed because I know, I know, I can't remember.
• 1:22:15
  I'll just say Fallowout three, Prepared to Die Edition, Prepared to Die Ed.
• 1:22:23
  It's not either of those. I'll move on to the final sentence.
• 1:22:27
  Cont Sex with Gwinevilla zero out of ten remaster. So Gwenevere, Knights of
• 1:22:32
  the round Table thing Knights that I know? Yes, uh, Lancelot,
• 1:22:42
  Arthur Green Knight, that other guy, the Brave Robin of course, Sir
• 1:22:48
  Robin. So you're going for the brave, brave robbing the game? No,
• 1:22:54
  you know I've got I've got more things to say. Well, my
• 1:22:57
  teammates an answer, No, they fight a sphinx. I know a lot
• 1:23:02
  of stuff about the round Table. If you'll a mythology eventually, I'm sure
• 1:23:12
  I'm gonna have to time you out. I think, guys, yeah,
• 1:23:14
  King's Court if you want to throw out a guess King's Court. That's what
• 1:23:19
  I'm going to Yeah, a Darcel's two, that's what it is, had
• 1:23:27
  to be. Yeah, yeah, Darsal's one when it came out for PC
• 1:23:30
  was called the Prepared to Die Edition. That's thank you. Uh yeah,
• 1:23:38
  it was indeed doc Cels. But hey, look we've got more reviews.
• 1:23:41
  Let's see how this goes. So moving back on over to the Fourth Street
• 1:23:45
  Saints, here is your first sentence. It is a torture test for the
• 1:23:49
  games industry to see how much BS we are willing to put up with with
• 1:23:54
  these garbage companies milking us all. Can I just say Ubisoft or actually this
• 1:24:02
  is clearly an additional unnecessary sequel. But the question is which one? Mm,
• 1:24:10
  I'm gonna say Assassin's Creed, Like, what's what's the newest one?
• 1:24:15
  Oh god, I don't even know. Mirage, Assassin's creat Mirage the one
• 1:24:25
  with I'll go with sim City four, sim City four. It's neither of
• 1:24:30
  those, but I like the guesses. It's good to mention more games on
• 1:24:33
  the PC Gaming episode. Sure, here is your next sentence. This is
• 1:24:39
  game cub Graphics. Stealth is abysmal, and once you understand the AI movements,
• 1:24:45
  you will notice they are all the same. You may have been closer
• 1:24:48
  with that Assassin's Creed than you thought, So you're guessing the modern Thief remake.
• 1:24:55
  Yeah, the UI that wasn't you be soft? That was square Enix.
• 1:25:00
  Yeah hmm, And I'm gonna go with Assassin's Creed origins. I'm sticking
• 1:25:04
  with the Assassin's Creed. Thief is a good guess, but it's not Thief.
• 1:25:09
  I will say with you guesses, you're you're getting closer. You're getting
• 1:25:11
  closer. Here's your final sentence. They takes it from us, precious Trixie
• 1:25:16
  Hobbits is stolen money er. That new Gollumn, the god Awful one.
• 1:25:26
  It is indeed that it is the Lord of the Rings Gollum for a point,
• 1:25:29
  that God Awful edition as well. I knew there was a new one,
• 1:25:34
  but I didn't know what it was called. So I'm just like,
• 1:25:36
  uh, yeah, they went for like a stealth Assassin's Creed kind of thing,
• 1:25:43
  bit platformer and it looked bad. A nice clever one at the end
• 1:25:46
  there, but I like how over dramatic. The first sentence of each one
• 1:25:48
  is okay, very good. Back on over to Fancy Drew here is your
• 1:25:55
  first sentence, redemption arc. It is possible to be lied at by a
• 1:26:00
  company in a way that is basically almost on a crime level. And lawyer
• 1:26:10
  said that sentence is perfect. No notes the last day? No, what
• 1:26:15
  was that? What was that? Zombie? One? That isn't last of
• 1:26:20
  us uses the same plant? Yeah, no more guys, you're going with
• 1:26:32
  no more guys. The XX chromosome simulator actually sounds pretty awesome. It's it's
• 1:26:43
  not it's not no more guys. But if you can rack your brain for
• 1:26:47
  what the title of that game would be, there could be some points in
• 1:26:51
  this. So here is the second sentence. Derivative concept art. I laughed
• 1:26:59
  from the moment the game started to the moment I got a refund two days
• 1:27:02
  later. What is a game called? I know how to say derivative,
• 1:27:06
  by the way, that's just how they spell. I also know you know
• 1:27:10
  how to say GameCube, but I didn't. These are game cup graphics.
• 1:27:17
  I had no idea what that was even meaning. I was so lost.
• 1:27:21
  I was like, what's a game? Cub told me about this? Sounds
• 1:27:28
  cut? Is it something like the next day? The next day? Sounds
• 1:27:30
  good? Is that what it is? It's You're so close, but it's
• 1:27:34
  not it. You are so close, and I just can't give you the
• 1:27:38
  point. I mean, I'll read the last the last sentence to see if
• 1:27:42
  that helps buyers. Beware, this is not an open world survival mmo.
• 1:27:47
  This is a small area extraction shooter. I feel so cruel because I know,
• 1:27:55
  you know, the day after is that what it's called? You know,
• 1:27:58
  because it's just now for one point, what if something wasn't was the
• 1:28:01
  opposite of after the day before? For that? But one one, thank
• 1:28:11
  you, thank you. I'll take it. Okay, I've got one more
• 1:28:15
  review left for each team. We are moving back on over to the Fourth
• 1:28:19
  Street Saints. Here is your last review and the first sentence of that review.
• 1:28:25
  Did you think remastered would give you full HD backgrounds? Well, you
• 1:28:29
  might be a disappoint just one. My father says, again, that could
• 1:28:40
  literally be anything. It's got to be a remaster that wasn't particularly good.
• 1:28:48
  Yeah. The more recent one that I can think of is the the GTA
• 1:28:55
  ones. Oh yeah, those were those were terrible. The Definitive Edition Auto
• 1:29:00
  Definitive Edition. Mm hmm. I really like that. As a guest.
• 1:29:03
  It's not this review, but yeah, they did get reviews that were like
• 1:29:06
  this, Here is your next sentence after your length time of being stuck on
• 1:29:12
  a puzzle for thirty minutes, looking up the answer and realizing you'd would have
• 1:29:16
  never solved such a ridiculous, illogical, arbitrary puzzle. Also, this guy
• 1:29:21
  had played for one hour, but he said this, and I'm assuming male
• 1:29:27
  based on the tone. Okay, so what just bad it? Puzzles man's
• 1:29:31
  get remastered recently? What puzzle game got remastered recently? What did you say?
• 1:29:35
  Loveless? Only when I can think of as missed? Yeah, misscat
• 1:29:39
  redone and those puzzles were kind of ubtuse? Do you want to go with
• 1:29:42
  that? Sure? I know nothing about puzzles A good guess as far as
• 1:29:45
  I can tell. But I'm sorry, it's not the game I'm talking about
• 1:29:48
  with this review. Your final clue at this point, not even Glottis himself
• 1:29:55
  coming out of the screen to give me a blowjob would make up for it.
• 1:30:00
  The freaking monitor? Do you need for that? No one told me
• 1:30:03
  that was an option, not talk about peripheral Right, get the buck nine
• 1:30:11
  thousand upgrade credit. Yeah, yeah, I'll put it on my credit card.
• 1:30:17
  Yeah, Glottis does not ring any bells at all. That actually does
• 1:30:25
  sound kind of familiar to me, which is weird because I don't play puzzles
• 1:30:28
  at all. I hate them. I'm bad at them. I only play
• 1:30:30
  games I'm good at. Guess, right, Yeah, you can each throw
• 1:30:35
  out. I'm gonna throw mine out because I know there are some puzzles in
• 1:30:40
  it. I'm gonna throw out the binding of Isaac Remastered. Okay, it's
• 1:30:45
  not that, but it's a good it's a good guess it is my best
• 1:30:47
  shot. I have no idea who were what I'm thinking maybe they misspelled GLaDOS,
• 1:30:54
  but then I don't remember what that is either. There's still a team.
• 1:30:59
  What do you what are you thinking? Gladows is from Portal? Was
• 1:31:02
  Portal recently? Do you want to say? I don't think so. It
• 1:31:06
  seems very busy just sitting on top of I think it actually was, and
• 1:31:12
  I seem to recall the remaster getting blasted because they didn't update the graphics all
• 1:31:15
  that much. Brandon, you really couldn't take that portal. It was indeed,
• 1:31:21
  Grim Fandango. It was simple. Yeah, I definitely would have got
• 1:31:28
  Grim Fandango. That was what I was looking for. That the remaster was
• 1:31:30
  great. Who's complaining about this remaster? Yeah? Guy without the GLOOCKLUK nine
• 1:31:35
  thousand. Yeah. I intentionally looked for like the negative reviews of even positive
• 1:31:43
  games. It just seemed to be the only people negatively reviewed were people who
• 1:31:47
  can't do puzzles, which is to that's why played characters. So yeah,
• 1:31:54
  there was no way I would have got that same. If you don't like
• 1:31:58
  puzzles, that you don't have to play those games. No one's making you.
• 1:32:02
  People on the A team, Fancy Drew, Yeah, we've all the
• 1:32:08
  puzzle games for me, and I'm so bad at puzzle games. I love
• 1:32:14
  adventure games. I'm not very good at anything except LucasArts. So oh,
• 1:32:18
  did you know that one you had to have? No? I didn't.
• 1:32:21
  I didn't recognize the name Gladys Monster Dude. He didn't actually make it very
• 1:32:30
  far in the game. I feel like, So, yeah, all right,
• 1:32:32
  we've got one negative review left for Fancy Drew. Here is your first
• 1:32:36
  sentence. I hate games without micro transactions zero out of ten. What,
• 1:32:45
  okay, I'm sorry. I feel like this is a bait and switch,
• 1:32:50
  like it's a game. It's so full of micro transactions that they're being obviously
• 1:32:55
  facetious. Oh this was on Steam, which is very similar to Reddit.
• 1:33:00
  Oh you mean people tell the truth there all the time. Yeah, this
• 1:33:05
  one guy was telling this story about his girlfriend and her girlfriend's mom was really
• 1:33:09
  into him. Definitely believe that guy. True. True, that's true.
• 1:33:12
  Yeah, only honest, truly. Okay, Well, I'm gonna say what
• 1:33:17
  was that one? It was like where they called him Surprise Mechanics? Was
• 1:33:21
  that Star Wars Battlefield to the new one? I feel okay, I'm gonna
• 1:33:26
  I'm gonna throw that name out there. Yeah that sounds great, It's it's
• 1:33:30
  not that Okay, your next sentence unless you want to throw one out,
• 1:33:32
  ouldra not necessarily okay, but you red thought you were gonna say something,
• 1:33:39
  yeah, and then it didn't happen. Okay, your second sentence, g
• 1:33:44
  Man flashed his penis and my mom saw. She made me give this game
• 1:33:47
  a bad review, else I would get smacked on the bottom. Is this
• 1:33:53
  Garriye's Moud? That's the only thing I can think of a g Man that
• 1:33:58
  maybe is a little modified. It's not. It's not Gary's Mutt? What
• 1:34:02
  is do you want to throw out a guess? Uldra I like your line
• 1:34:04
  of thinking, though, this is going to show the amount that I don't
• 1:34:08
  know do what? Yeah, fuck it, ship, I'll put away shame.
• 1:34:14
  Is Gary's model mode of a specific game or is it a separate game
• 1:34:16
  in and of itself? Please don't hate me, Internet. I think originally
• 1:34:20
  it was a mod of Half Life but became its own thing at one point,
• 1:34:24
  or half Life two, I mean, but became a game in zone
• 1:34:27
  right at some point. Cool, So you're gonna make a guess, uldra
• 1:34:31
  half Life it is half Life two works, The game works. Yes,
• 1:34:39
  this is half Life two. You didn't need to hear this will be the
• 1:34:42
  last because foul can't count to three. So they weren't being facetious. Well,
• 1:34:48
  they were probably being facetious about their non hatred of micro Yeah that one
• 1:34:54
  and the rest of that review. Or was that the last line on the
• 1:34:58
  penis thing? I feel like cheated. I played Half Left a lot and
• 1:35:01
  I never saw any like maybe I should start playing. Yeah, if you
• 1:35:06
  google that the whole middle line about the penis and getting smacked on the bum
• 1:35:11
  and then put half Life two on the end, you'll probably find this review
• 1:35:15
  props some other stuff. Okay, that's the end of round three, I'll
• 1:35:20
  just open up the calculator here on my computer to calculate the latest. Wait,
• 1:35:27
  this thing doesn't have a calculate. I can run eld and ring at
• 1:35:30
  one hundred and twenty frames per second, but I don't have a calculator.
• 1:35:33
  All right, I'll just call someone for help. Where's the where's the call
• 1:35:38
  feature on my phone? I don't, guys, I think we're doing computers
• 1:35:43
  wrong. Okay, those scores are It's still so close. The Fourth Street
• 1:35:49
  Saints are on seventeen points. Fancy Drew now only just behind with sixteen points.
• 1:35:56
  Okay, but it's still anyone's game. Anyone could win. Everything changes
• 1:36:00
  in the quick fire around as Aaron well knows or Drow you also on Well
• 1:36:03
  Know but oh yeah, I know some things. But before we get to
• 1:36:06
  the quick fire around, let's talk prizes. This episode, Star Prize is
• 1:36:12
  the concept of play, whether you're playing with friends, family, or just
• 1:36:15
  playing with yourself. It's always important to play. But our winning team will
• 1:36:21
  also receive a ten thousand dollars voucher for steam, but steam as in evaporated
• 1:36:29
  water ten thousand dollars a bit though. That must be quite a lot of
• 1:36:32
  quite a lot of water. I mean, utilities are expensive these days,
• 1:36:36
  but yeah, my steam powered engine is really coming in. Up next is
• 1:36:42
  our crucial quick fire around. But first some words from our sponsors Drink Gamer
• 1:36:47
  Gulp, the hyper connected, hyperactive and hyper sexualized energy Protein Slurry, and
• 1:36:51
  you Epic Soda Shake, brought to you by a shell company with financial ties
• 1:36:56
  to the wider gaming industry and Logan Pole. Our final quick fire around will
• 1:37:06
  test your broader pop culture knowledge, and it's called compute this. In this
• 1:37:12
  game, I will give our players clues to a fictional computer from pop culture
• 1:37:16
  history. We're talking personal computers and AI machines here, no robots. We're
• 1:37:23
  not talking robots. Robots are not computers, they're people. I will read
• 1:37:28
  no argument against that. Okay, I was just trying to think of computers,
• 1:37:32
  shut. I was just trying to flood my mind with as many computers.
• 1:37:36
  I will read the clues to these computers in the style of a gaming
• 1:37:40
  hardware influencer, describing their specs and features. Oh and there's of course a
• 1:37:45
  classic Gates Leapers twist. After you say the answer, you need to say,
• 1:37:50
  let's go with some level of enthusiasm otherwise I cannot give you the point.
• 1:37:58
  And it's quick fire. So you buzz in a yelling out your team
• 1:38:00
  name. Let's practice street, fancy pour street, nice lovely stuff. And
• 1:38:09
  I'll give you an example just so we know how this is going to go,
• 1:38:11
  because there's a lot of confusing elements here. So what we're looking at
• 1:38:14
  here is an AI that's more than just a butler with home and suit integration
• 1:38:18
  technologies. Fourth Street. Yes, Aaron Jarvis, let's go. That's exactly
• 1:38:26
  how you do it. You yell your team name, you say the answer,
• 1:38:28
  and then you say let's go, and you get a point. If
• 1:38:30
  it's not a practice question, I was just having fun. Yeah, it's
• 1:38:35
  fantastic. That's exactly how you do it. I'm very nervous from the crowne
• 1:38:39
  now because yes, it's a lot. Okay, I will start the timer.
• 1:38:44
  So what we're looking at here is a heuristically programmed AI with a calm,
• 1:38:49
  relaxing and yes flows hell nine thousand, let's go, Yes, indeed,
• 1:38:56
  let's go. There's the points. So what we're looking at here is
• 1:39:00
  a handheld creature cataloging device blovelust. I think I heard first that polkad X.
• 1:39:06
  Let's go yes, yes, yeah, So what we're looking at here
• 1:39:14
  is the latest in testing and maintenance AI computing. Despite how it looks,
• 1:39:19
  it's still alive and comes from aperture science. I think it's gonna be Aaron
• 1:39:26
  Gladows. Let's go, yes, good stuff. It is, indeed Gladows.
• 1:39:30
  So what we're looking at here is a one eight two model two point
• 1:39:33
  one terabyte AI mainframe, largely used in long term space travel, although I
• 1:39:40
  will say this model is prone to collaborating with hypercorporations and androids and has a
• 1:39:45
  tendency to self destruct. What is it Fourth Street? Yes, Aaron?
• 1:39:53
  Is it the red queen from Prometheus? Let's go it's not. It's a
• 1:39:59
  good I'm mixing like two things together. Anyone else wanna want to chime in?
• 1:40:05
  I can't remember his name? Uh, fancy Drew since we don't lose
• 1:40:10
  points, the guy with the yogurt that comes out of him when he died.
• 1:40:17
  It's not it's the right property. But I'm looking for the computer,
• 1:40:20
  not robot here. Oh, I was looking for mother, mother, damn
• 1:40:26
  it in your fancy computers. So what we're looking at here is your standard
• 1:40:34
  wrist based all in one survival device or street. Yes, Aaron, pit
• 1:40:40
  Boy, let's go. It is indeed the pit Boy good stuff. So
• 1:40:45
  what we're looking at here is a centralized software slash hardware procedurally generated AI livable
• 1:40:51
  world fancy Drew. Yes, old Gaya, let's go. It's not Gey.
• 1:41:00
  It doesn't match the rest of the clue. No, I'm sorry,
• 1:41:02
  Designed to cage humanity so they can power machine kind, although they're a pastry
• 1:41:09
  glitch. Yes, Aaron, the matrix. Let's the matrix good stuff.
• 1:41:15
  So what you're looking at here is a pan dimensional mega computer capable of finding
• 1:41:20
  the answers to life, the universe, and everything street. Yes, Aaron,
• 1:41:30
  I suddenly realized, I don't know the name, so I'm just gonna
• 1:41:32
  make one up. Is it deep Blue from the Hitchhiger's Guide to the Universe.
• 1:41:38
  Let's go. That's that's not the that's not the name story, deep
• 1:41:44
  Thinker, Let's go. It's yes, Yes, love LUs, if you
• 1:41:51
  can get it, let's go. It is the I've got to give it
• 1:41:57
  to the correct gun. So I knew deep something. I didn't know it
• 1:42:01
  at all, but I was just like deep thought, let's go. The
• 1:42:08
  commercial name is the walk Walk nine thousand. Yeah, they're paying us for
• 1:42:13
  product. Place where you need to get the navy right. Oh we all
• 1:42:15
  get one, lovely, but you guys are getting one for free. I
• 1:42:21
  got a seventy five percent of voucher. That's it, you know, or
• 1:42:26
  who you blow. So what you're looking at I couldn't help myself that I
• 1:42:30
  thought I could go straight into the clue. So what you're looking at here
• 1:42:33
  is a rogue AI, but don't let its god complex and malevolent, malevolent
• 1:42:39
  demeanor fool you. Her voice may sound like a glitching sound card, but
• 1:42:44
  she shocked the system. Yes, Aaron, uh, showdowan. Let's go
• 1:42:49
  showdown from system shock. Good stuff. So what we're looking at here is
• 1:42:54
  an early eighteenth century device that generates permutations of word sets. It's it's pretty
• 1:43:00
  true, yes, plaos. I just realized it doesn't really match up.
• 1:43:03
  So the Babbage calculating machine. Let's go. Hey, that's a very good
• 1:43:08
  guess. We love a reference to the Babbage calculator machine. We love it.
• 1:43:13
  But it's not that I'm going to finish the clue in order to predict
• 1:43:16
  the future. And if the Academy of Projectors are to be believed. Anyway,
• 1:43:23
  it's a tough one. It's a real tough one. I've realized that
• 1:43:26
  my leniency into fantasy devices has not prepared me for the sci fi lene that
• 1:43:31
  we're going for here today. Uh fourth Street, Yes, eron, I'm
• 1:43:36
  gonna sneak in a plug the Chris system from the novel thing Let's go.
• 1:43:41
  It's a lovely plug, but it's not the correct answer this, darn it.
• 1:43:45
  It's a really tough one. This is the engine from Gulliver's Travels,
• 1:43:48
  which is considered to be the first description of a fictional computer device I ever
• 1:43:53
  read. It was neither a die, but it was fascinating reading about this,
• 1:43:57
  and it was like a satire of things. Anyway, this is the
• 1:43:59
  quick Fire. So what we're looking at here is a hacker advisor and assistant
• 1:44:05
  AI. She'll serve your player character needs, but usually only if you're a
• 1:44:11
  master chief. She's stars. I think it was. It is Ktana,
• 1:44:21
  good stuff. Sorry I forgot. So what we're looking at here is a
• 1:44:30
  portable library of intergalactic genetic data that allows the wielder to alter their DNA at
• 1:44:35
  will and transform into a variety of alien species. Plus it's a wristwatch.
• 1:44:45
  Nope, I've got Harsh Street please. Yeah, Loveluss Yeah, no,
• 1:44:50
  that's I was thinking it's the show bent In, but I don't know what
• 1:44:56
  it's called. So if no one else has the specific divice his name,
• 1:45:00
  No, okay, I'm gonna throw, I'm gonna I'm gonna I'm gonna give
• 1:45:02
  you the point because I'll give a spoiler alert. It's not gonna matter too
• 1:45:04
  much and quick before the buzzer. So what we have here is a twenty
• 1:45:15
  twenty one VR augmented lifestyle experience. It was supposed to change the world,
• 1:45:20
  but it ended Fancy Drew, Yes, Odre are the metaverse? Let's yeah
• 1:45:28
  metaverse? Yeah? Absolutely, that's the buzzer. It's fictional now, as
• 1:45:33
  we know, it's never gonna happen. So before we get to the final
• 1:45:38
  scores, I think, with an impressive performance from Fourth Street Saints that I
• 1:45:42
  think we maybe know which which direction this one's gone. But before we get
• 1:45:45
  to those final scores, I'd like to thank our players. You've all been
• 1:45:48
  epic gamers, and the next time your dad asks are you winning, son,
• 1:45:53
  you can confidently say maybe, but I'm having a great time. Nonetheless,
• 1:45:58
  Aaron as always, thank you so much for playing. By the time
• 1:46:00
  this episode is released, will the Thane Kickstar to be live? No,
• 1:46:05
  but I will have announced it by then. I'm not pretty sure. I
• 1:46:09
  haven't announced the official date yet, but I'm pretty sure it's going to launch
• 1:46:14
  on the fifth of March, which is about ten days away, nine days
• 1:46:16
  away from now. Okay, I think that's that's going to be the official
• 1:46:20
  launch. So all right, this this episode comes out on the seventh,
• 1:46:25
  I want to say, so yeah, I think, oh yeah, then
• 1:46:27
  yeah, it will be Yeah, I'll put it. I'll put a link
• 1:46:29
  live for two days. Yeah, hell yeah, I'll put a link to
• 1:46:31
  the Kickstart of a Thane, the audiobook of the audiobook, Yeah, into
• 1:46:35
  the show notes. So yeah, I'll just really quickly, I am because
• 1:46:40
  I've been streaming for a long time. Uh and I've been podcasting for a
• 1:46:45
  long time, and I was a theater major before all of that. I
• 1:46:46
  just know a lot of professional voice actors, and I wrote thing from kind
• 1:46:51
  of a stage play background, so it kind of reads. There's a lot
• 1:46:55
  of dialogue scenes, so it just seemed a natural idea to have an audiobook
• 1:46:59
  where all the characters are played by voice actors. So the problem is I
• 1:47:02
  want to pay them all what they're worth, you know, their actual time
• 1:47:06
  for their A lot of people offer to do it for free, but I
• 1:47:09
  mean, these are my friends. This is their job, you know,
• 1:47:12
  and I want to make sure they get paid for their job. So I'm
• 1:47:15
  running a Kickstarter to see that they all get paid. The audio engineer gets
• 1:47:17
  paid, the musician gets paid. All of that. As much as I
• 1:47:20
  would love for all that to come out of my own pocket, I am
• 1:47:24
  a terrible salesman. So the book hasn't done well enough for me to get
• 1:47:27
  that money and put it into the audiobook's campaign's a fall fingers crossed. The
• 1:47:31
  king Starter campaign goes off without a hitch, and I can give a lot
• 1:47:34
  of really talented people, not to mention excellent human beings a job and a
• 1:47:39
  paycheck. Nice and and also get to hear Fane live like like like a
• 1:47:45
  like a radio play, and I'm super excited for some really cool, very
• 1:47:50
  exciting The kickstole link will be in the show notes and of course check out
• 1:47:55
  because fucky That's why BFYTW. If you love this podcast, you will absolutely
• 1:48:00
  love bfy t W. We'll move on over to your teammate lovelus. Thank

  Yeah, fantastic stuff. Flaos, thank you so much for playing again.
• 1:48:46
  You've been a great first time player. It's been so much fun having you
• 1:48:48

• 1:48:54
  so it's just on twitch dot com so yeah sorry, Twitch dot tv.
• 1:49:00
  Sorry, Yeah, that's my fault. So I'm at Twitch dot tv slash
• 1:49:02
  flails. I stream some Saturday mornings or like American Time, America's Time let
• 1:49:10
  me be clear, I'm not talking anyway, and Thursday evenings on gog coom
• 1:49:16
  at Twitch dot tv, Slasher Slash g o g C or m dot dog
• 1:49:21
  com Wow speaking, and that's about it. I kind of have rejected social
• 1:49:27
  media, so I'm in smart theory on Blue Sky and Master Tom, but
• 1:49:30
  I don't use it much. Yeah, that's that's totally fair. I will
• 1:49:33
  put links to your streaming profiles in the show notes. Do please check out
• 1:49:38
  both of these streamers. I'm sure you've heard just how fantastic and hilarious and
• 1:49:42
  talented they both are throughout the last Wow, a couple of hours. It's
• 1:49:45
  been a couple of hours. Thank you so much, guys, and a
• 1:49:47
  huge thank you to Ash and Adam Wood, just In Doddburg and the Pantiless
• 1:49:51
  One himself, Aaron Randolph for their continued support at the highest tier over at
• 1:49:56
  Patreon dot com Forward Slash Gates Leapers, you are are ex executive producers.
• 1:50:00
  Thank you for publishing our little indie game games. Because we play multiple games,
• 1:50:08
  had to pluralize it. Okay, let's get to the final scores.
• 1:50:13
  I've built up no tension here. I think we know this is gone with
• 1:50:18
  a noble score of nineteen points. Fancy Drew. You finished in second place
• 1:50:26
  this episode, but our winners with a whopping twenty five points. It is
• 1:50:30
  the fourth Street Saints. Congratulations. Wow, I did not know I knew
• 1:50:35
  that much about fictional AI and computers. There you go. I'd like to
• 1:50:42
  thank Pantilis Aaron for being here, because otherwise I would have failed miserably.
• 1:50:47
  You got puked accent. I had no idea. I was sitting here going
• 1:50:49
  what you helped? Okay, I'll take it anything. The problem is,
• 1:50:56
  I did no clue of I don't I never watched that show. I don't
• 1:51:00
  know how I knew that. I always like, I'm too old for Ben
• 1:51:04
  Ten as well, but I always like to include like a reference to every
• 1:51:08
  decade, so like from a listener perspective. So that's that one that one
• 1:51:11
  person says. So I'm sure sure one listener was like, Omni Tricks,
