• 0:04
  What's up y'all and welcome back to Daddy needs to talk.
• 0:07
  I am hush Robert. And today I'm joined by my boy,
• 0:11
  Chase aka the dark sage, and we're going to be looking back
• 0:14
  at our favorites from 2021. So let's get to it.
• 0:23
  So man this year I already know where to start Man II.
• 0:31
  Guess I guess just kind of just cuz you know this your for me
• 0:36
  had just been kind of a roller coaster of events to say the
• 0:43
  least. I'm not going to get into all
• 0:44
  the Mushy sappy details of everything people that people
• 0:49
  that have listened for a while. Y'all know what's up.
• 0:53
  You know from just touch on a little bit because if somebody
• 0:56
  here is new whatever beginning of the year I lost my mother and
• 1:00
  then other stuff happened and you know life kept on throwing
• 1:05
  some curve balls at me but you know one, one thing I would say
• 1:11
  that kind of came out of this year through all of that for me.
• 1:15
  Is this podcast and getting a chance to meet so many awesome.
• 1:21
  So many do people because honestly, man, just just just
• 1:25
  the fact that I'm even doing this period.
• 1:31
  Let alone with another person is something that I thought would
• 1:35
  be years down the line cuz, you know, I don't know about, you
• 1:40
  know, like with you chase, like before, you know, you got it to,
• 1:44
  you know, catch pain. And stuff like that.
• 1:46
  But for me, you know, somebody that was no, this cannot be on
• 1:49
  watching different people for years.
• 1:51
  This in the pockets for years, I would think that, okay, in order
• 1:55
  for me to get to the point to where somebody will want to
• 1:58
  collaborate with me and all this stuff is going to be, I got to
• 2:03
  put in some years worth of work and the hey here's here's the
• 2:06
  stuff I've done, will you work with me?
• 2:09
  But with in my first month, I had somebody that extended you
• 2:14
  know. And out to me and was like, hey
• 2:18
  I heard you say you want to be on somebody to show you want to
• 2:19
  come on mine and you know and it's just been super awesome
• 2:24
  since then just you know like so just just the amount of really
• 2:29
  cool people. I have met because, you know,
• 2:31
  other other content creators like yourself to comic.
• 2:35
  Book artist, people that translate manga and Shonen jump
• 2:40
  to musicians and DJs and Actors, all different types of stuff,
• 2:47
  you know. So I would say overall 20 21.
• 2:54
  Alexa has just been like a really big learning and kind of
• 2:58
  Growing Experience for me. What about yourself kind of you
• 3:02
  know in general? I like what has kind of the Year
• 3:04
  band for you man. I feel like this year for me, is
• 3:08
  definitely the year that I feel like I got some in my in my
• 3:12
  head. It like I don't want to have
• 3:14
  popped off but I feel like I grew like way bigger than what I
• 3:18
  ever thought I would. Yeah, like I always say this
• 3:20
  every time I got hit a new mouth so I'm like I couldn't imagine
• 3:24
  hitting a thousand this year. Do you know, a lot of my life
• 3:36
  has been focused around the stuff I love to do or love like,
• 3:40
  you know, my hobbies. Yeah.
• 3:42
  And, you know, me basically documenting it.
• 3:45
  Yeah, the people and teaching other people and stuff like
• 3:48
  that. So a lot of my life this year
• 3:49
  has become YouTube which has kind of became my job at one
• 3:53
  point. Yeah, time job.
• 3:56
  And now it's just like at the tail end of this year.
• 3:58
  I'm now doing some touching up stuff that I've missed out on
• 4:01
  within the past few years. Yeah, yeah.
• 4:04
  So so I guess that. That's part of that far.
• 4:06
  Something I should have asked upright, you know, I guess for
• 4:10
  for anybody that's listening to the podcast or watching the
• 4:12
  video, I guess, you know, in a nutshell who is the dark sage
• 4:18
  and and kind of, you know, I guess you know, like if you had
• 4:22
  to kind of, you know, elevator pitch yourself because obviously
• 4:26
  no just you know quick thing. You know Chase he does a lot of
• 4:30
  very awesome content and videos around. manga anime and other
• 4:37
  nerd stuff as well, which is kind of how I ended up finding
• 4:41
  you because I think I think back when I was either when I was
• 4:46
  first on a podcast or rubber for, because it was a couple
• 4:48
  months between me, starting doing a podcast and then me
• 4:52
  doing videos and YouTube or whatever.
• 4:55
  And if I remember correctly, I was specifically just searching,
• 4:59
  just to see who I was out there, like, like black manga YouTuber
• 5:05
  or some combination of those keywords.
• 5:10
  And you were one of the, one of the first ones that have popped
• 5:12
  up. And I've been following you ever
• 5:15
  since, but yeah. So so yes, I was so.
• 5:17
  So who is the dark stage? Thank you, man.
• 5:20
  Thank you. But basically, if you guys are
• 5:22
  watching the video version, everything behind me, this is
• 5:26
  literally all I talked about on my channel, which is a great
• 5:29
  thing, but also it could become a tiring thing but basically,
• 5:32
  you know, I'm just, you know, as the dark Sage I'm a content
• 5:36
  creator on YouTube that I just make videos on manga anime.
• 5:40
  But really I like to think my channel is like, Anime
• 5:43
  collecting in general. I just collecting certain
• 5:46
  memorabilia, like getting signatures on Funko Pops, or
• 5:49
  like, I used to collect anime Funko.
• 5:50
  Pops will get it anime figures or getting, you know, moms in
• 5:53
  the stuff like that because, you know, a lot of people are like
• 5:56
  really into that right now. Yeah.
• 5:57
  So am I kind of? Yeah.
• 6:01
  You said kind of a, it's kind of funny just like the the
• 6:06
  comparison of because I'm new on the collecting side is at least
• 6:11
  as far as like the with the physical.
• 6:13
  Action and some kind of left because I'm like, oh look,
• 6:15
  what's behind me? And that's like the, the wall,
• 6:19
  the library. You have amassed behind you as
• 6:22
  so. Yeah, yeah, yeah, man.
• 6:31
  So yeah, yeah. You know, I feel like that's
• 6:37
  that's another thing with me getting into the space where
• 6:40
  ever this year it like super Open up the doorway as far as
• 6:45
  like my exposure to other manga stuff.
• 6:48
  Now, you know, I've, you know, as I talked about before, you
• 6:52
  know I've read, I've been reading manga for years but it's
• 6:55
  honestly been primarily a lot of like the Shonen Jump title, just
• 6:58
  because that's like, you know, easily accessible and the kind
• 7:02
  of, you know, most mainstream stuff not saying that I was
• 7:04
  never open to, you know, reading and consuming more.
• 7:10
  But it just I feel like Once I got into the physical aspect of
• 7:15
  it, that's when the doors blew wide open.
• 7:20
  Just because you know, one thing that I love about, and I've
• 7:25
  talked about before with physically, collecting is going
• 7:29
  in person and looking for stuff because that is how you can
• 7:33
  discover those hidden gems and those things that they're not,
• 7:38
  everybody will talk about where you see I do what you know you
• 7:41
  might go on there looking for You know, volume 1 of the juice
• 7:45
  of Kaizen, but, you know, end up walking out with sweat and soap,
• 7:51
  you know, or some other unknown thing.
• 7:54
  Because it's been so many times this year, we're and I feel like
• 8:01
  this kind of goes back to like a childhood thing.
• 8:04
  You know, even your with video games or whatever to where the
• 8:08
  cover of a game or Manga might be enough to these Like pull
• 8:13
  your attention and just a know what is that?
• 8:16
  And it's been so many times where I've just, I've been
• 8:18
  glancing glancing and either just the way the text on the
• 8:21
  spine is or the way something looks on the cover, it just
• 8:25
  grabs your attention just long enough to make you wonder like
• 8:29
  hmm. What is this?
• 8:31
  So, and but yeah, man, it's bad that that's been like,
• 8:34
  definitely a favorite thing of mine that I've gotten into and
• 8:39
  really just like consumed, you know?
• 8:42
  But You know, is this very tough, try to limit yourself
• 8:47
  sometimes just because it's like, oh, you know, you going to
• 8:51
  Barnes and Nobles or books and billion or whatever with your
• 8:53
  kind of little, it's okay. I'm here to pick up this and
• 8:56
  that, but you walk out with five other things.
• 9:09
  Oh yeah, exactly. Oh I just need to run into
• 9:11
  Walmart. Get another pack of toilet
• 9:13
  tissue and oh well while I'm here I need some more peace.
• 9:17
  Need some oh I need that too and you might as well while yeah,
• 9:25
  exactly, exactly. So so yeah.
• 9:29
  So I guess, you know what, kind of kick the ball off, you know,
• 9:31
  like I said up top this year or this episode of the Paw I cast
• 9:36
  is going to be kind of Earth's just kind of you know looking
• 9:40
  back and talking about just some of our favorites of the year and
• 9:46
  we're going to cover anime manga video games, maybe some TV
• 9:50
  shows, whatever. So let's see, let me see where
• 9:54
  we want to start off with today. Dive ingested.
• 10:06
  The least amount of content like watching something.
• 10:09
  Yeah. Playing video games because I
• 10:11
  was so like focused on doing a lot of YouTube stuff.
• 10:14
  Yeah because you know I won't I'll know you was I don't know
• 10:16
  how long ago. Subscribe at one point I was
• 10:20
  doing like three videos a week which just takes up a lion jerk.
• 10:23
  Yeah, like me I'm very, I'm very unorganized.
• 10:28
  Yeah. Give me a time.
• 10:30
  Like you getting your time? Yeah I'ma be there yeah but it
• 10:34
  becomes the me doing my own thing.
• 10:35
  Oh I'm storing organized. Like a literally like I remember
• 10:39
  I used to wake up at 4 a.m. to make a video and I will try to
• 10:42
  edit the same day so this year was like the year was like my
• 10:45
  mind was just everywhere because like I was doing everything on
• 10:48
  my own. Yeah.
• 10:50
  Yeah. He even even with me kind of
• 10:53
  being on, you know, on the newer side of the consecration stuff,
• 10:57
  I'm honestly kind of In a similar boat to where, you know,
• 11:02
  there's been times where I've tried to have like a planned and
• 11:06
  organized, okay, I'll record this thing.
• 11:09
  And, you know, it will go up next week, whatever.
• 11:12
  But I feel like for me, you know, I feel like some of my
• 11:18
  favorite things that I've done recorded, whatever have been
• 11:22
  stuff that. I just like it in the middle of
• 11:23
  just like, oh, got got an idea or oh, I just finished watching
• 11:27
  this episode or a reading this Mom.
• 11:30
  Let me go on record now or as soon as possible versus, you
• 11:33
  know, trying to schedule and plan.
• 11:36
  And it is, you know, I tried it to to it.
• 11:41
  Just yeah, man, yeah, coz coz, coz it because I feel like I
• 11:45
  feel like that was something I learned very early on when I was
• 11:50
  recording the first episode of this podcast.
• 11:53
  I was trying to have like a scripts like I had written up
• 11:56
  this whole long thing. And I have re-recorded that
• 12:00
  thing a million times because, you know, I would be reading it
• 12:04
  and then I would miss a word, or or fumble whatever I had written
• 12:09
  down as. All right, let's try it again.
• 12:12
  And then eventually after after several times I was like, you
• 12:15
  know what? Let me just try just speaking
• 12:18
  from the heart and that went way better, you know, because
• 12:23
  because because now I kind of you know, Ethel least I have you
• 12:27
  know like like my kind of man. Talking points of like, okay, I
• 12:30
  want of these talk about, you know, this episode, this
• 12:33
  episode, these chapters just to know.
• 12:36
  So I make sure I don't forget stuff, but aside from that, I
• 12:39
  don't, yeah, I try not to have too much.
• 12:44
  Try to make like bullet points with yeah.
• 12:47
  Yeah, exactly. So writing it all out and eat.
• 12:50
  Exactly. That's, that's kind of what I
• 12:52
  used to do. I mean, I all my videos they
• 12:56
  literally just come from whatever I'm talking about.
• 12:58
  Yeah, like now I started doing more, let me jot that stuff
• 13:01
  down, so that way, I don't forget.
• 13:03
  Yeah, back then and even earlier a few months ago, I was doing
• 13:07
  everything. Just off of record.
• 13:10
  Let's go. Like yeah, I just Actually so,
• 13:15
  all right. So so we're kind of start off
• 13:17
  by, I guess. We're going to kind of jump off
• 13:19
  with some of our favorite anime that we watch this year.
• 13:24
  So I guess, you know, we're not necessary during like, like it
• 13:28
  like a top 10 or whatever would you going to just kind of know,
• 13:31
  just talk and kind of keep it casual.
• 13:33
  But what has been some anime that you have checked out that,
• 13:38
  you know, that you've enjoyed or these had some interest in this
• 13:42
  year? All right, so like we talked
• 13:45
  about off-screen. I was watching Tokyo Adventures
• 13:47
  of 1.0 watching it live on Twitch every week when it came
• 13:50
  out with new episode. Yeah.
• 13:52
  And I drop that because the animation was just it was was a
• 13:57
  it was hot car bomb. That was like, yo, sorry story
• 14:01
  of cool, but it's not. Yeah, I'm trying to see what
• 14:04
  else this year. I believe, but Attack on Titan
• 14:11
  was Aaron this year. Yeah, yeah.
• 14:14
  That's probably like my number one thing for this year.
• 14:16
  Yeah, JoJo's will be number one if I yeah.
• 14:24
  But if I watch all JoJo's that would have been number one.
• 14:27
  Yeah. I really want to just put a
• 14:28
  number one even though my favorite enemy in general.
• 14:31
  So I want to put JoJo number one.
• 14:33
  Yeah, anyone's watching this probably later on.
• 14:43
  But I don't buy those. Glad to be a strong number one.
• 14:46
  Yeah, as of right now, before I pull you, watch JoJo.
• 14:50
  Yeah. Season 6 season.
• 14:52
  I know it's Parts. Yeah.
• 14:53
  Part 6, part 6. Yeah.
• 14:56
  Yeah. I just don't know if it's like a
• 14:57
  season. I don't know if it's easy.
• 14:59
  Yeah. Right now it has to be Attack on
• 15:01
  Titan because obviously this whole gear was a blur.
• 15:04
  Yeah. Like I was saying I didn't
• 15:05
  really enjoy just as much content in terms of watching
• 15:08
  anime especially when I got more into manga.
• 15:09
  Yeah, but I'm not really watching anime them words.
• 15:12
  It goes too slow. So yeah, Attack on Titan because
• 15:15
  I was so high and I was watching that each week, I was like, this
• 15:21
  is it? This this is Robin has delivered
• 15:25
  for me. Yeah, now the second half that
• 15:26
  supposed to be aired in a few months or next month.
• 15:28
  Yeah. Shaky, but it starts off nice.
• 15:32
  Yeah, yeah. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, yeah,
• 15:37
  yeah, okay. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
• 15:42
  that yeah, that that's one. I really enjoy it as well cuz
• 15:49
  cuz, you know that that was one. That was one of the anime, which
• 15:51
  I feel like feel like a lot of stuff that I watched this year
• 15:55
  was stuff. I had never heard of, you know,
• 15:58
  before and so but Hi. I am Michelle coat inside a cage
• 16:02
  or job as reincarnation was a welcome surprise for me as well.
• 16:08
  Look that sure looks freaking. Beautiful has some really dope
• 16:13
  moments and stuff I'll say on the took your Avengers thing now
• 16:19
  that that was one you know which I agree with you know with the
• 16:24
  visuals definitely could have been better and more consistent
• 16:27
  but that's what I did stick with.
• 16:29
  With the whole way through but without one that was when I
• 16:34
  actually I think after maybe like three or four episodes, I
• 16:39
  got so hooked that I actually jumped out jumped over and
• 16:42
  started reading the manga and binge read the Manga over the
• 16:46
  course of like you know, days weeks or whatever.
• 16:51
  John think another anime for me I didn't want to shout out as a
• 16:55
  is Megalo box to our season 2. No man.
• 17:01
  Yeah. Yeah.
• 17:06
  Yeah. Yes.
• 17:10
  Yes. 22 to say the least. Yeah.
• 17:12
  That, yeah, there's this season, I just liked how I just liked
• 17:18
  the whole story and stuff in general, just because it, it hit
• 17:22
  really hard and, and several moments and service sayings that
• 17:27
  happened but yeah, but yeah, I know man.
• 17:29
  Yeah. I definitely watch that whenever
• 17:31
  you get a chance because yeah, if if you were a fan of the
• 17:34
  first season that I feel like you definitely gonna enjoy this
• 17:38
  one. I've been I've been documented
• 17:43
  online thing. I'm scared of is like, it's
• 17:45
  easy, but I feel like I'm one of those people that think the
• 17:48
  first season was just so well done.
• 17:50
  And it ended up on such a good note.
• 17:51
  Yeah. I'm like what is the second
• 17:53
  season? Like what is it?
• 17:54
  What is it there to do? Yeah.
• 17:56
  What is the purpose season 1 on its own?
• 17:58
  I'm like, it's cool. Yeah.
• 17:59
  Like if it would have I would have been all right.
• 18:02
  Yeah yeah. I'm like, I got to see what it
• 18:08
  is. Yeah.
• 18:09
  Watch my hero. This year, my hero.
• 18:10
  Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, I dropped it.
• 18:16
  Yeah, yeah. Well, well, well, I can guess
• 18:20
  but gesture here. What, what about it makes you
• 18:22
  kind of just like, I know, I feel like most of it has to do
• 18:27
  with the superhero fatigue, because I always say like this,
• 18:30
  about my hero and one punch man. It'll came out in the perfect
• 18:33
  crime in America. Yeah, that's what all the Marvel
• 18:36
  stuff was happening. Yeah.
• 18:37
  That was big. And that's yeah.
• 18:42
  If you haven't seen far from home, I mean that far from home
• 18:44
  with no way home. Yeah.
• 18:46
  But if people haven't seen it, go see it.
• 18:47
  Yeah. Options and future it was great
• 18:49
  when you first see it. Yeah.
• 18:52
  But I just Because the MCU was a lot on its own.
• 18:59
  Do you know you have Netflix show which was a lot of its own.
• 19:02
  Yeah. Yeah one punch Man by
• 19:04
  superheroes. You got my hero about
• 19:06
  superheroes in my hero was cool but I felt like for me it
• 19:09
  peaked. When all my fault?
• 19:12
  Alphonse yeah I'm not gonna say what happens.
• 19:14
  Yeah to me the show Peak right there.
• 19:16
  I'm like no moment has hit to me since that one moment.
• 19:20
  Yeah. And then we'll season 5 because
• 19:22
  I dropped it in the middle of a little class.
• 19:25
  Yeah, a little class woman. Yeah the patient is slow.
• 19:31
  I don't care about these other characters with the truth.
• 19:32
  Yeah, I took that part out of the show from from what I've
• 19:41
  seen so far, it wouldn't affect the show.
• 19:44
  I'm Bob saying that as of right now.
• 19:45
  Yeah, yeah, okay yeah. I can definitely can definitely
• 19:51
  feel that because that my heroism is another one that I'm
• 19:57
  up to on the manga side of things.
• 20:00
  So so your great things about the mom.
• 20:05
  Yes. But you you talk to you talk
• 20:07
  about the, the issues, with the pacing of the one, a VS1 be
• 20:11
  staff. If you thought it was slow and
• 20:13
  the anime man, it was during the week to week.
• 20:17
  Yes. Yes, so so and you already know
• 20:24
  a lot of those episodes are like two, maybe three chapters
• 20:27
  together. So imagine I do this.
• 20:29
  One episode was slow. Well, that one episode across
• 20:32
  three weeks basically. Yeah, I do like that.
• 20:35
  That was definitely a time when I was reading that.
• 20:39
  So I was like, oh no, I don't know about my hero anymore.
• 20:48
  Yeah, yeah. Yeah.
• 20:50
  So I'm trying to think of a couple of like some like smaller
• 20:55
  ones. I didn't want to shout out.
• 20:59
  Let me see. I taxi was a yeah I texted was
• 21:05
  one of those anime that I kept on saying you're like a
• 21:09
  thumbnail or of like this Waris dude in front of a taxi.
• 21:13
  And it's like I'm not going to wash that I could care less but
• 21:18
  certain people. And I was following the
• 21:20
  community whose know p is our value.
• 21:22
  My okay. If they like it, maybe I should
• 21:25
  check it out. And I'm glad I did because it's
• 21:28
  short and sweet, 12 episodes and has a really great twist
• 21:34
  involved and lots of it because it's the series is basically
• 21:39
  kind of a, yes, yes, okay, okay, yes, oh yes, oh, yeah.
• 21:45
  I texted, yeah, it's a murder mystery and just to recap for
• 21:48
  anybody that might not have heard me.
• 21:49
  Talk about it on pass podcast episodes.
• 21:52
  Basically, the story revolves around the main character odor
• 21:56
  Kawa who is a walrus who's a taxi driver and just as the
• 22:01
  story goes, on a lot of characters that are involved in
• 22:07
  various things from like this, miss this murder mystery and
• 22:09
  some other Shady business or whatever.
• 22:12
  No, with him being a taxi driver, he's getting all types
• 22:15
  of people and clients riding in his taxi.
• 22:18
  And so he ends up getting roped into those events.
• 22:22
  So, but but I texted, definitely one to check out ranking of
• 22:27
  Kings is my current one. That's the way I know you.
• 22:31
  I know you talking about yes. Odds against them.
• 22:38
  Yes, yes, yes. Sorry.
• 22:41
  I saw it. As a ranking of Kings revolves
• 22:45
  around, this young prince named boji, who is deaf and mute.
• 22:49
  And basically, in this world that they live in, there is a
• 22:56
  ranking of kings and his dad is one of the strongest kings in
• 23:01
  the world. And so basically with him being
• 23:03
  the oldest son, he is first in line to inherit the throne.
• 23:08
  But because of him being small and having this disability, and
• 23:12
  Stuff people always look down upon Him, count him out but he
• 23:17
  is super dope character. Like you said like like super
• 23:21
  you know the show does a really good job of like just making you
• 23:24
  just want to root for the dude you know.
• 23:27
  And but yeah that that show has been super fantastic because
• 23:30
  it's been way more involved than what I expected.
• 23:36
  You know kind of first going into it.
• 23:37
  So so it's a ranking of Kings. Check that out.
• 23:43
  I see a couple other quick ones. Let me see.
• 23:51
  I'm talking about came out to Blue.
• 23:53
  Period is another kind of current favorite, favorite one?
• 23:57
  Whoops, a second. Alright, so yeah.
• 24:03
  So what was you saying, man? Don't tell him it's not a Tory.
• 24:20
  Oh okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, I haven't washed out.
• 24:25
  I've heard of it, gotcha, gotcha, but yeah, I haven't, I
• 24:29
  haven't watched on one. I've heard of it and stuff so
• 24:32
  I've heard good things about it. So my end up checking that out.
• 24:37
  But yeah, Deedee the other one I was going to mention was a blue
• 24:40
  period that that's the one about or is revolved around artist.
• 24:45
  I actual art artists I think some of the first episode I
• 24:51
  didn't see too much. Yeah I feel like you know that
• 24:55
  first episode was solid but as this kind of going along has
• 25:00
  gotten stronger and stronger just just because I feel like I
• 25:04
  feel like it is some stuff that is like super relatable.
• 25:08
  Especially for I feel like for anybody that's like in our space
• 25:11
  that is a content creator or just does any type of art like
• 25:17
  that, you know, whether you're coming, book artist.
• 25:19
  Whatever. I feel like that show is just so
• 25:22
  relatable on just so many, so many friendships because of, you
• 25:26
  know, all these characters kind of, you know, trying to chase
• 25:30
  their dream but also having to deal with, you know, the
• 25:33
  hardships of, you know, you know, having difficulty thinking
• 25:39
  of know, like like the next thing they want to draw or
• 25:42
  create to, you know, them dinner with family or friends that
• 25:46
  don't want that basically aren't supportive.
• 25:49
  Of their drummer passion. But yeah.
• 25:53
  That, that Stephen been one especially these last couple of
• 25:55
  episodes. I feel like have have hit, like,
• 26:00
  super hard on some kind of, like, you know, really touching
• 26:06
  things and stuff. But yeah.
• 26:08
  Blue period is different one. And I guess that might be it as
• 26:13
  far as like, like the main ones because there's been other ones,
• 26:16
  I've watched, you know, like, No.
• 26:19
  Soccer gone is one. I'm enjoying call me.
• 26:23
  Can't communicate you stars all call me so great.
• 26:26
  Yes, that first season was a, I mean the First episodes, amazing
• 26:30
  too. Yeah.
• 26:30
  But obviously we started Susan to looking at.
• 26:33
  No. I actually, I haven't watched
• 26:35
  any of beasts that. Well, inside of it.
• 26:36
  I think I might have watched one episode of season 1.
• 26:41
  It's on my list. I need to go any further.
• 26:43
  I need it. Like I need to just like make a
• 26:46
  day on a weekend just blow through.
• 26:49
  They catch up because this one I want to, at least, like give an
• 26:51
  honest shot. So.
• 26:52
  But but that's one you are white or enjoy this year or check that
• 26:57
  I like season one. Yeah, I didn't like the
• 27:00
  animation. So that's what made me move over
• 27:02
  to the mangas. I got you.
• 27:04
  A lot of people say the season to wasn't as great as he's like.
• 27:06
  Yeah, yeah, I remember that coming out.
• 27:08
  And also, did you see Kaiser was this year, right?
• 27:13
  Hmm. No, I don't think I want us out.
• 27:19
  I think that was last year. Did it start last year and this
• 27:23
  year season 1? Maybe cousin Eric and Nanette.
• 27:29
  Now you got me thinking, maybe, maybe that was the case because
• 27:34
  I'm looking at a list right now and I see the ones that you
• 27:36
  talking about skate, the Infiniti.
• 27:38
  Oh yeah, I see that as well Sonny Boy, which I didn't watch.
• 27:42
  I know, like people like that. Sonny Bono is one that I I
• 27:46
  tried, man, like, because just because because shoot, I can't
• 27:52
  remember his name. It's somebody I follow on
• 27:55
  Twitter. Who also does a podcast.
• 27:58
  I wish I remember his name, but I know he basically a couple
• 28:01
  people that I know. They were loving it, really
• 28:03
  enjoying it. And so one day I just said, I
• 28:07
  was. Okay, let's give this thing a
• 28:09
  shot and I like binge died things, maybe like seven or
• 28:12
  eight episodes at the time and my eyes just glazed over because
• 28:16
  I'm like this doesn't make any sense light like II like the
• 28:20
  like the weirdness of it but as far as like from like a story
• 28:24
  perspective, I'm like it was everywhere, I can follow
• 28:29
  nothing. So I just that was when I just
• 28:31
  dropped I didn't try to like I said, if I couldn't give them a
• 28:36
  manga format, I probably need to try it.
• 28:39
  Yeah, yes, yes. That mad to your turn it out,
• 28:46
  that was one. That was one that freaking was
• 28:51
  jabbing you and the heart every week man cuz cuz every time I
• 28:56
  feel like, you know, once he gets to a certain point you
• 28:59
  know, people are going to die and so you know to expect it but
• 29:03
  at the same time like a lot of times when it happened it was
• 29:07
  still just so it still hurt. Yes it's okay after those first
• 29:11
  couple he was like okay all these people all these people
• 29:14
  going to die ha. And but yeah, that that was
• 29:18
  definitely one. I really enjoyed when I was in
• 29:22
  the store not long after not long after the season had a
• 29:26
  Ended I saw like it was like Vol 14 or something so something
• 29:32
  that's like a little bit ways further from where the anime
• 29:35
  stop there and I'm saying like this whole new tech group of
• 29:39
  people on the cover. I'm like I'm like I don't know
• 29:41
  any of y'all so but but but but it also had me just like just
• 29:49
  like well how new group of people for me to have my heart
• 29:53
  ripped out of her. Sounds like one piece to me.
• 29:58
  Yeah, yeah. And real quick.
• 30:01
  Sorry, you were right? Yeah, you choose to Kaizen, man.
• 30:04
  I guess in that aspect aspect of this year does feel like for me
• 30:08
  like part of me feels like it was a blur part of me.
• 30:11
  Feels like I was a million years but it did finish up this year.
• 30:15
  It went from October of last year and the end at the end of
• 30:20
  March of this year. So what?
• 30:23
  Which I guess timing-wise Guys, maybe makes sense why it's not
• 30:28
  on the front of my mind because I started my pockets like, right
• 30:31
  around the time when that season was wrapping up.
• 30:34
  So I probably didn't get a chance to even talk about it on
• 30:36
  my podcast. So that's probably why it wasn't
• 30:39
  even registering style so that it with that being the case,
• 30:43
  that was definitely a fire watch because he even no, no, that's
• 30:48
  why I'm reading as well. But man, they, they just did
• 30:51
  such a great job. Just bringing that show to life.
• 30:55
  Yeah. Animating, instead of the manga,
• 30:57
  the manga drawings. I like that, ain't it?
• 30:59
  Yeah, yeah, yeah. Which which are fair.
• 31:04
  Like now now that we've got a season 1 and we see how dope
• 31:09
  those fight scenes and stuff is now whenever I see some, some
• 31:14
  cool fights and stuff happening in them in the manga, I'm just
• 31:16
  like, that's gonna look really doping about a year or two when
• 31:20
  they animate it. So, but yeah, man.
• 31:25
  Just saying. Is there anything else?
• 31:28
  Dr. Stone. I'm not sure if it might have
• 31:36
  caused because I know with with that season of dr.
• 31:39
  Stone. I know it it was a shorter
• 31:42
  season, I think it was only like 11 episodes for That season 2 so
• 31:46
  there's a chance. They don't like I like that.
• 31:49
  That that that's one. I'm going to touch on and my my
• 31:54
  Some my favorite manga that I've read this year when we get to
• 31:58
  that because but I have enjoyed, you know, seeing them animating
• 32:04
  that show and step in bringing that to life when you're about
• 32:08
  the. I think that might be as far as
• 32:10
  like anime. I guess, I guess a couple of
• 32:12
  other quick ones are just kind of just shout out.
• 32:14
  Want me to talk about too much. 86 is one that I've enjoyed and
• 32:22
  shout out to the homies over it. Mic check waifu waifu podcast
• 32:26
  because they the ones that kind of put me on to that one because
• 32:30
  you know, just, you know, you know, every season that you kind
• 32:32
  of like, looking through the list of like, okay, what's our
• 32:35
  coming out this season? You know, there are certain
• 32:37
  shows where is like, you know, it could be just a cover or the
• 32:40
  name, or whatever and you're like, nothing or pay attention
• 32:43
  to that or whatever but like hear them talk about it in the
• 32:46
  park and I said where we can. I was like okay let me list
• 32:49
  check this out and that's been like a really dope, I guess it
• 32:53
  would be kind of more like a I guess fall somewhere in the
• 32:58
  mecca, side of things. I watched the first episode 86.
• 33:05
  Okay? Joshua's was iron blooded
• 33:28
  orphans and that that one I actually I really enjoyed that
• 33:31
  one myself but I fail you it's definitely not my not my go to
• 33:38
  Jean right now. It's kind of like few and far
• 33:40
  between that I might find something.
• 33:41
  Like I said might be a case of like I said, hearing somebody
• 33:44
  else talking about in my okay. Maybe I'll you know, check it
• 33:48
  out. Or look into it.
• 33:52
  Let me see. Sorry, I'm just checking through
• 33:55
  Just touch on just about everything else.
• 33:57
  I enjoyed from this year Faina. Pirate, princess was okay until
• 34:03
  those last two episodes and I'm like, what the heck are y'all
• 34:06
  doing? Because that shows looks
• 34:08
  beautiful. Yeah, yeah, that that one like I
• 34:15
  said, pretty much like 90% really good and then those last
• 34:20
  two episodes it was like it's okay y'all got into some weird
• 34:23
  Supernatural Easy staff. So, you know, kind of, you know,
• 34:28
  where it was it was okay, because okay is going up and up
• 34:30
  and up, and then it's like those last episodes.
• 34:32
  Like, okay, that's bring it back down the list a bit more.
• 34:41
  Yeah, I guess that's really it. You know, Vivy and reincarnated
• 34:46
  as a slime or two other ones that I wash and just kind of
• 34:48
  enjoy. Yeah.
• 34:57
  Yeah, man. But I think, I think that's it.
• 35:01
  As far as I start from this year, I will give a honorable
• 35:04
  mention to older shell from last year that I This year for the
• 35:09
  first time in that was keep your hands off.
• 35:12
  Eyes open. That was one that I think of
• 35:17
  last year when Crunchyroll or whoever was doing their anime of
• 35:21
  the Year Awards and stuff, our, I kept seeing that name pop up
• 35:25
  in like best animation, best this best then I'm like, what
• 35:29
  the heck is this? You know, keep your hands off.
• 35:31
  I soaking stuff or whatever. And so, it wasn't until this
• 35:37
  year, you yourself. Jean talking about.
• 35:40
  Yeah. I was like, I'm like it.
• 35:42
  I'm like I feel like this is the one that he's talking about the
• 35:44
  one that looks ugly to me. Yeah, yeah, but I would say, the
• 35:51
  show is self, you know, is definitely way better than, you
• 35:55
  know, then like I said, he's like, from, from first glance, I
• 36:00
  guess it's the best. I could kind of phrase it
• 36:02
  because, you know, just know, once again, a little quick
• 36:06
  synopsis of it whatever, basically revolves around the
• 36:09
  He's three young girls who basically end up coming together
• 36:12
  to form a basically a anime club at their school because they
• 36:18
  have a dream of making their own anime.
• 36:20
  And so the show it gets like pretty wild with the animation
• 36:27
  because what it does is as the characters especially like the
• 36:31
  main MC as she is kind of Like speaking through her ideas,
• 36:38
  different stuff that she wants to draw or do whatever they
• 36:42
  animated in a way to where the stuff is like coming to life in
• 36:45
  the world and so it kind of pushed them into whatever stuff
• 36:49
  that they were drawing or animating and stuff.
• 36:52
  But that was when I actually really enjoyed and God, I kind
• 36:56
  of, you know, went went back to and, and checked out so, but
• 36:59
  well, I think that'll be it as far as anime.
• 37:06
  I guess, let me see. But before I get to the, to the
• 37:13
  Ganges stuff because I figured this might be pretty a pretty
• 37:15
  quick when or whatever as far as like TV like regular TV movies,
• 37:21
  whatever, was there anything from this year?
• 37:23
  They kind of grabbed your attention or anything that kind
• 37:26
  of stood out to you or whatever. See, I was thinking about that
• 37:31
  all day. I'm like I don't think I watched
• 37:32
  any regular TV. Yeah.
• 37:35
  But like I said, I barely watch. Yeah.
• 37:43
  Yeah, yeah. Yeah yeah.
• 37:49
  Yeah. And I was like, that's okay.
• 37:51
  Yeah. But it's not bad.
• 37:53
  It's not the greatest thing I want.
• 37:54
  Yeah, it's okay. Oh yeah.
• 37:57
  Yeah, yeah. Yeah.
• 38:01
  I don't think I'm anything. Yeah, I'm I'm kind of in a
• 38:07
  similar boat to where, you know, for me it was definitely like a
• 38:13
  pretty decent amount of anime, but yeah, as far as like stuff
• 38:16
  outside of anime not really. You know I I did watch all the
• 38:19
  Marvel TV shows and movies this year, which I guess across the
• 38:25
  board. I can say that.
• 38:27
  I enjoyed them all. To varying degrees but I don't
• 38:31
  regret watching any of them. But by watched all the Marvel
• 38:35
  stuff, I finally got back into Young Justice this year cuz that
• 38:43
  that was one. I hadn't watched in years
• 38:45
  because because That too. But but season a season for
• 38:53
  started this year maybe like a couple months ago and season 3
• 39:00
  came out a few years ago and I was trying to watch it week to
• 39:05
  week but I just didn't keep up with it and then before I knew
• 39:09
  it three years had passed a half however long and so and so some
• 39:16
  certain people that I follow follow on the timeline Whatever
• 39:21
  it was something I felt. If I remember, I want to say, I
• 39:24
  think is maybe like episode 3 or 4 of season 4.
• 39:29
  I saw somebody. I follow.
• 39:31
  Make a comment something light like, yo, they working people
• 39:35
  like that on Young Justice now. And so you see a message that
• 39:39
  tweet, like they like, mmm. Let me, let me, let me see
• 39:42
  what's going on. And so they also take a day or
• 39:46
  weekend or whatever. And I went back, And finished up
• 39:49
  all the season 3 and then cut up for season 4 and I was like okay
• 39:53
  yep. Yep.
• 39:54
  They doing some some crazy stuff which, you know, even back with
• 39:58
  like the earliest he's a young of young just as they they did
• 40:01
  not shy away from killing off characters, you know.
• 40:05
  So but but your Injustice was one that I'm glad I got back to.
• 40:11
  I'm trying to think aside from that.
• 40:16
  I'm in the same boat, how do I can't think of Trying to think
• 40:20
  of a movie wise. I enjoyed watching Dylan because
• 40:26
  Dune is is you know, that that's something that I've known of
• 40:31
  over the year just because this is such an old series but I've
• 40:34
  never washed. Definitely have never read it.
• 40:37
  And so, I feel like like like like my experience with Dawn.
• 40:44
  Was I don't know. I feel like like don't came
• 40:47
  along at just the right time because when I recorded the
• 40:50
  episode talking about that month ago, whenever it was that was
• 40:56
  also like when I'm like my favorite episodes that I
• 40:57
  recorded just because because I think I think I told that
• 41:01
  episode finding peace in Dune and and what that kind of meant
• 41:07
  was be because of the The town is stuff of down with it, being
• 41:13
  kind of, you know, super, super Sci-Fi series, but the pacing of
• 41:19
  his stuff, whatever was kind of like really chill, really slow.
• 41:23
  They really took time to like put you into their world and get
• 41:26
  you to learn about these characters and stuff.
• 41:29
  And I feel like my personal experience because I want to go
• 41:32
  see it in theaters, and I got to see that IMAX so seeing, like,
• 41:37
  how beautiful that movie was. Just like sit like the music, it
• 41:42
  just everything was just hitting right for me whatever.
• 41:45
  So that, that was definitely one of my favorite things that I got
• 41:49
  to watch and experience this year.
• 41:54
  Trying to think. And honestly, I don't think
• 41:56
  there might not really be too much else.
• 41:59
  Kind of gone through my, my mental catalog once again movie
• 42:07
  wise. I think I've only I know I've
• 42:10
  watched more but yeah. I remember this Halloween kills,
• 42:14
  I think. Yeah, I think so.
• 42:16
  Yeah. Spider-Man Venom to I want to
• 42:23
  know the superhero movie after endgame, I just dropped off the
• 42:26
  superhero after far from home. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 42:37
  I can definitely feel that because because because
• 42:40
  honestly, it feels like indie game plus like you said far from
• 42:46
  home because that was direct that was right after.
• 42:49
  Yeah. Okay, yeah.
• 42:49
  That he came back. That's right, so I have some
• 42:53
  say, I yeah, I agree with outfit.
• 42:55
  I feel like I feel like that was kind of kind of like the
• 42:58
  stopping points. Whereas, I hate, if you want off
• 43:00
  the marver train, here's your stop because I hate you.
• 43:03
  Kind of had this big crazy experience, wrapped up some
• 43:06
  stuff. All right, exit stage, right?
• 43:10
  You know, type of things. Yeah.
• 43:23
  Kettles came in pull done? Yeah.
• 43:32
  Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, I guess the only other thing
• 43:50
  that I want to that, I'll shout out.
• 43:52
  Well, a couple of things, one is something I kind of throw watch
• 43:56
  as they upload episodes, whatever.
• 43:58
  But Craig of the creek, I love that show that well, like to
• 44:04
  like an HBO Max or release them. Yeah, sorry.
• 44:09
  Oh no, no, no. It's just because so, oh, got
• 44:14
  you got you? Yeah, because I because I think
• 44:18
  I think I have found. I think I discovered that show.
• 44:22
  Well, I started watching it. I think last year during like
• 44:26
  like, like like like the early months of the pandemic and
• 44:29
  because I didn't have like, Gregor can't believe whatever.
• 44:32
  I was just buying the seasons on YouTube and so is watching them
• 44:35
  then. And so a few weeks ago, they
• 44:38
  finally put just about all of it on HBO Max.
• 44:44
  And so by a cricketer Creek, Confer show.
• 44:50
  It's just one that I just really enjoy watching both by myself as
• 44:54
  well. As you know, if my youngest son
• 44:56
  bashes with me, you know. He if he hears the little theme
• 45:00
  music, he'll come and sit with me.
• 45:02
  And we'll have a good little time watching that show
• 45:08
  cricketer Creek. And then another one that I
• 45:11
  picked up, finally this year was a was the DuckTales remake,
• 45:16
  which I Like, if, if somebody would tell me that, hey, you to
• 45:23
  care about actual story, line with freaking the DuckTales
• 45:29
  crew, I would not believe you, but but but that show, man, it
• 45:33
  is, it is just fun. It is just fun to watch.
• 45:36
  It looks really good, you know, because they, you know, of
• 45:39
  course, come back and done, modern-day animation and stuff
• 45:42
  with it. But and, you know, and they tie
• 45:44
  in Different characters and stuff from you know other
• 45:50
  properties because like because like Darkwing Duck shows up in
• 45:52
  it and some other characters and stuff but yeah DuckTales
• 45:58
  definitely has been a another Comfort series light right there
• 46:01
  with me along with like so Craig of the creek of just you know if
• 46:04
  I just want them to just kind of nice and chill to just watch
• 46:07
  kind of just like settle down for the evening that s one.
• 46:10
  That I've that I've really enjoyed but uh, but yeah, I
• 46:14
  think I think that's it as far as you like with regular TV and
• 46:18
  movies and stuff, because Yeah, I kinda was later.
• 46:22
  The beautiful movie came out this year to, right?
• 46:25
  Oh yeah. In America.
• 46:26
  Yeah, yeah, yeah. That did that.
• 46:28
  That that was a really dope. It's not.
• 46:32
  I failed. I feel like anytime I going to
• 46:34
  see anime movie like that in theaters, it's always just like
• 46:38
  a really dope experience just because you know just being in a
• 46:41
  theater surrounded by a lot of other fellow nerds and stuff and
• 46:47
  you know just know. Okay, we are all here, you know.
• 46:51
  No, because because our our shared love of this thing.
• 46:54
  So yeah. Yeah, I think I'm trying think
• 46:58
  most famous thing I think I think that might have been the
• 47:00
  first movie I saw in theaters this year Sonic and Sonic came
• 47:05
  out last year. Yes.
• 47:07
  Yes I thought you came out this year.
• 47:10
  Yeah well there's this last year or two whatever has kind of like
• 47:17
  a jumbled. Yeah it's just think of time
• 47:21
  What's this? You know what?
• 47:23
  Yes. Yeah, yeah.
• 47:30
  The the 441 page reference the the void Century.
• 47:41
  I needed to make. Yeah.
• 47:51
  Don't forget the good stuff. Yes yes, indeed.
• 47:56
  But yeah, so I think I think we're kind of truck our truck
• 47:58
  right along to talk about some some video games.
• 48:03
  So have there been any games that you've checked out this
• 48:06
  year? Yeah unless you to buy start
• 48:33
  doing more twitch I started playing video games a bit more
• 48:36
  and I recently got a PS5 like a month or two ago.
• 48:39
  Nice. And when Black Friday hit I was
• 48:41
  going crazy. Yeah, yeah.
• 48:50
  Looks away from this. So now it's like that.
• 48:53
  Yeah. I'm like, hey, you need to chill
• 48:57
  by God that's up on a good deal. Oh, yeah, oh yeah, the Black
• 49:01
  Friday deals. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 49:11
  I think the one game I played this year that I really enjoy
• 49:15
  and I replayed a few, like a, like a last week.
• 49:18
  I know it's not the biggest of games.
• 49:21
  It's a pretty short game. Miles Morales.
• 49:24
  Oh, yes. Yes.
• 49:25
  I'll talk about accurate representation and not making a
• 49:28
  stereotypical black characters. Yeah.
• 49:31
  The superhero genre and in the video game, well done.
• 49:34
  Yes, I'll be, I could it out the park.
• 49:36
  They already hit it out. The park was fighting a for.
• 49:38
  Yeah. And also got the park with
• 49:40
  Ratchet and Clank. Yeah, yeah, yes, yes, hell yes,
• 49:47
  miles. Oh my gosh, that game is so
• 49:50
  good. I just I love the soundtrack, I
• 49:53
  love his character, I love physical environment with him
• 49:56
  being in harm Harlem. Yeah, I just loved everything
• 49:59
  about that. Yeah. you the character Miles
• 50:22
  Morales, and they gained the most, because it's like As you
• 50:26
  know I was a black person. Yeah we're in the media.
• 50:29
  It's really stereotypical yeah. Like it's very stereotypical but
• 50:33
  that game I'm like they just show off great qualities about
• 50:37
  miles of character. Yeah, he's also black and his
• 50:40
  other friend which Finn. Yeah he's also I didn't want I
• 50:46
  didn't want to say the wrong thing.
• 50:47
  Yeah. Yeah.
• 50:49
  But her being a great representation for a woman who
• 50:53
  is also black and smart as well. Yes, I'm like everything was.
• 50:57
  Everything was great about the game while it wasn't the best.
• 50:59
  Gameplay, wise converting Spider-Man films, for that
• 51:02
  fight. Oh yeah, I loved it.
• 51:04
  I loved it. Aah, I felt like, I feel like I
• 51:07
  really enjoyed a lot of his attacks and stuff because I feel
• 51:11
  like with, with that game, like I said, I along with the music,
• 51:14
  just the, the sound design overall, because I remember like
• 51:18
  one of the first times I did, like one of his like electric
• 51:21
  punches. And that sound, I was like,
• 51:23
  whoa, what? What was that?
• 51:25
  That so bad. That, that was like a huge.
• 51:28
  Yes, yes, yeah, that yeah. That that.
• 51:40
  Which one you play for for the newest one?
• 51:44
  Gotcha. No.
• 51:56
  Okay. Have, you know, the DD, the the
• 52:00
  most amount of Crash that I've played was during a short
• 52:03
  sequence and then charted for your planet.
• 52:07
  Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You got it for free.
• 52:16
  So hard. That I had to quit.
• 52:26
  But I play Crash for it's like a return to form for that game.
• 52:29
  Yeah. But it's not necessarily like
• 52:32
  unreasonably hard. Every time I miss something on
• 52:34
  that I'm like, I could do it. Yeah.
• 52:37
  Very challenging. Yeah, I will say that.
• 52:43
  I really put me back in the game.
• 52:45
  Yeah, that game was so fun but it made me want to rip my hair
• 52:49
  out over a hundred times. Oh wow.
• 52:55
  This. Yeah, I'm crash War.
• 53:01
  I'm talking about games are be crash for Miles Ratchet and
• 53:07
  Clank Ratchet. And Clank was so good.
• 53:08
  Yes, yeah, yeah. Yeah yeah.
• 53:14
  Yeah. Retching collected that.
• 53:15
  Yeah. Right there with you that that
• 53:17
  was that was one I definitely enjoyed playing this year John.
• 53:22
  Think a fair I feel like we're Well, maybe we'll say guardians
• 53:26
  for maybe the last one we talked about just cause I know.
• 53:28
  We both have a lot to say about that one.
• 53:31
  A couple ones. I'll shout out.
• 53:34
  Now, some of these, well I'll start with the one with one of
• 53:37
  the other ones I did be, which was a life, is strange, True
• 53:40
  Colors. That's number two, right?
• 53:43
  Or is that 30? As far as I like, light light
• 53:45
  light, that would be 3 because you can because there is a one
• 53:50
  and a two and then there was a prequel to one which was a
• 53:53
  before the storm Bad by the time, I was sure.
• 53:56
  This would be the third, the third mainstream life is strange
• 53:59
  game. But but, you know, and I won't
• 54:02
  belabor the point because I've done four episodes talking about
• 54:06
  that and stuff, but but but that was one, I'll just head.
• 54:09
  Like, if you've enjoyed the life is strange series, any of the
• 54:14
  previous games you're going to enjoy this one?
• 54:17
  Just because it still, has that really?
• 54:22
  Personal connection that you get with the carriages and stuff
• 54:24
  that, you know, that I feel like that you always get with the
• 54:27
  different stories and stuff but just with with the Fidelity of
• 54:33
  the newer consoles and stuff because I because I play that
• 54:35
  one on PS5 and it looks really good and stuff so bomb, but
• 54:40
  yeah, that was one. Yeah.
• 54:41
  I really enjoyed the story of that one.
• 54:44
  I think I think I still need to go back and play because there
• 54:47
  was like a DLC or something. They came out with that that I
• 54:51
  hadn't gotten. Route to.
• 54:52
  Yeah Bobby I love your shows. True Colors was when I really
• 54:55
  enjoyed what's the best looking game you played so far on PS5?
• 55:01
  I think mine's not to be Ratchet and Clank.
• 55:03
  Hmm. Like I'd even played on the
• 55:07
  Fidelity mode. I put it on performance mode and
• 55:09
  it still look gorgeous. Yeah.
• 55:11
  They're now that's miles. Dad, Dad, Dad, Dad.
• 55:15
  Yeah. Yeah, I hope I said those two
• 55:17
  are probably definitely up there for me as well.
• 55:20
  He's just kind of just take them out stuff that I have played.
• 55:25
  Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah that. I think those whom death and B
• 55:30
  be two of the top contenders yet for sure as far as some of the
• 55:34
  best looking games. Let me see.
• 55:40
  What was the other one? The Artful Escape?
• 55:44
  That's one I played on, I played it on Xbox.
• 55:47
  It might be a more systems but I played it on Xbox because it's
• 55:50
  on Game Pass Out of, You Know, has a lot to really explain this
• 55:57
  game. But whenever I talk to people
• 56:00
  about it and I say it is one of the best experiences I had this
• 56:06
  year because to be honest, like like from a gameplay
• 56:09
  perspective, it is super basic Bare Bones and basically, you
• 56:15
  know, just just basic, you know, run it through levels
• 56:18
  platforming and stuff with a little bit of Some, some musical
• 56:23
  stuff to it because basically, the basic premise of the game is
• 56:27
  that you play as this character, who he is, like the nephew of
• 56:33
  some legendary musician or whatever and his little
• 56:36
  Hometown. And so, basically the game just
• 56:40
  kind of revolves around him getting sucked into this
• 56:45
  intergalactic. Adventure traveling through
• 56:51
  space plan, his guitar across different environments.
• 56:57
  And so you're pretty much just like running through and
• 56:59
  platform through different environments and stuff with your
• 57:02
  guitar and you can like, you can hit different guitar riffs and
• 57:06
  stuff at any point in time. And like I said, it sounds super
• 57:09
  weird. Me try to describe it, but if
• 57:13
  you get a chance to you, or anybody that's just listening or
• 57:15
  watching this, whatever Just look up either a trailer, just
• 57:19
  like any gameplay from it, because it's a very visually, it
• 57:25
  is very out there. Like, so it's just like a super
• 57:30
  weird, collage of colors. But, but, but I feel like I
• 57:34
  said, just just, just the, the journey that the character went
• 57:37
  on because, you know, as he's traveling through space, he's
• 57:41
  also trying to discover his own identity and stuff.
• 57:49
  But yeah, The Artful Escape. Yeah, it's just a journey or the
• 57:54
  the game. Basically just revolves around.
• 57:56
  This young guy, basically, going on a journey of self-discovery
• 58:01
  of, you know, basically figuring out who he is and following his
• 58:07
  own dreams versus trying to live up to the legend of, you know,
• 58:10
  his uncle and stuff, which would, you know, I feel like,
• 58:12
  you know, a lot of us are a lot of people in general can relate
• 58:17
  to that, and For more fashion, whether you know, regardless,
• 58:20
  if, you know, if maybe if you were an athlete or, you know,
• 58:24
  depending on, you know what your parents are older sibling, or
• 58:26
  whatever might have done before you as oh, well, your uncle,
• 58:29
  your uncle, John, you know, was super good at computers.
• 58:33
  So you should be able to do it to type of stuff.
• 58:36
  But yeah, like I said, overall X is super simple game.
• 58:40
  I think it might have been Maybe, For five hours if that
• 58:46
  tops but it's super short sweet experience.
• 58:48
  Like I said, it just the music and the music was definitely the
• 58:52
  music and the visuals were definitely like two key things
• 58:55
  about that. They just like really just like
• 58:58
  hit me. So yeah, so that's one another
• 59:03
  game I want to shout out. Dad, if I want to go back and
• 59:05
  finish playing is it's called death's door.
• 59:10
  And that will now when it's kind of like a I guess if I guess
• 59:15
  you're kind of think of his kind of like a like an old-school
• 59:19
  kind of Zelda type of game tour, you're going through like these
• 59:22
  different environments and you know you're getting different
• 59:25
  weapons. Basically they have something
• 59:27
  that's like the equivalent of the equivalent of like the
• 59:30
  hookshot that you get in Zelda and, you know, long-distance
• 59:34
  arrows and different stuff like that.
• 59:36
  But but it was just a really cool.
• 59:39
  Little game. So now like I think I think
• 59:42
  there might have been also one that I probably was playing on
• 59:44
  game passes well on Xbox. But since then because that that
• 59:48
  was like later in the summer that I was playing that but
• 59:51
  since then it's come out on other systems and stuff.
• 59:55
  So I know it's like on Playstation, it might be on the
• 59:57
  switch and stuff too, but but yeah, that's what yeah, yeah,
• 1:00:02
  okay, I'm looking at yeah. But yeah, that way that, that
• 1:00:06
  was one. I was really enjoying and then
• 1:00:09
  the Last one before you, before we get to the Guardians 2 are
• 1:00:11
  different. Want to shout out?
• 1:00:13
  It's a game called Loop hero. I think, I think it might be on
• 1:00:19
  internal switch now, but I played it on PC earlier this
• 1:00:23
  year. What we just saying something?
• 1:00:25
  Because anybody that knows me knows that I do not play PC
• 1:00:29
  games. I am.
• 1:00:31
  Yeah, I am primarily plan on my PlayStation, or my switch or I
• 1:00:37
  have an Xbox as well. Freaking For kids, I'll have X
• 1:00:41
  boxes. I have like freaking 6X boxes in
• 1:00:43
  the house, so which comes in handy for a game.
• 1:00:46
  Pastor. That's why I was out.
• 1:00:48
  This game is on getting past. I have no excuse because it's
• 1:00:51
  freaking like 6X boxes in the house.
• 1:00:52
  So you know, but anywho. But so so, so with Loop hero, it
• 1:00:58
  was one of those games to where you know, hold on.
• 1:01:04
  Okay. Yeah.
• 1:01:06
  That's what I was like. Yeah, but bad Loop hero.
• 1:01:14
  It was one of those games to wear.
• 1:01:17
  I was watching a lot of people streaming it and that's what got
• 1:01:23
  my interest because I was like, I was like, man, that, that
• 1:01:26
  looks interesting. So, so basically the best thing
• 1:01:28
  parents of loop hero is it is truck.
• 1:01:35
  They had a bit out of the scrubber, basically the the
• 1:01:38
  character and stuff moves on its own.
• 1:01:41
  And so it basically, every time you start the game, the game
• 1:01:45
  Auto generates a map and the map Up your travel and literally a
• 1:01:48
  loop. So so it's like a really like
• 1:01:52
  pixelated look to it. And so every time you start a
• 1:01:55
  level are just all auto generate a map and as you as your
• 1:02:00
  characters, just walk around the map, you know, different enemies
• 1:02:02
  and stuff. A pop-up and your character will
• 1:02:06
  just automatically attack. It's basically a lot of it just
• 1:02:09
  like automated, but your involvement in it is as you
• 1:02:14
  fight enemies and travel around or whatever.
• 1:02:17
  As you defeat enemies, whatever they are drop of different
• 1:02:19
  pieces of gear. So, your know, kind of on the
• 1:02:22
  Fly, equip a new gear equipment, new weapons, and so that kind of
• 1:02:26
  changes the dynamic of the combat because like I said, even
• 1:02:28
  though the character is attacking itself automatically,
• 1:02:32
  you know you oh I defeat his enemy.
• 1:02:33
  He dropped this, you know, plus 20x.
• 1:02:37
  Okay, that's better than the sword.
• 1:02:38
  I got, let me equip that and you also get these These different
• 1:02:46
  light. Environment pieces that you can
• 1:02:50
  add to the map as well. Because like I said, it just out
• 1:02:52
  of it. Just generates just basically
• 1:02:54
  just just like, just like the general road that you're
• 1:02:57
  traveling on but around the outside or the size of the map,
• 1:03:02
  you can add on these different elements so might be like oh you
• 1:03:06
  know grassy field vampyre Castle different stuff like that and
• 1:03:12
  that's where a lot of the more advanced changes. have come into
• 1:03:17
  play because it's like okay you know you added all these Rock
• 1:03:25
  tiles and every time you know it might have like a buffed where I
• 1:03:30
  okay every time you complete a loop it will automatically
• 1:03:32
  regenerate plus 10 health and so it's kind of like a lot of just
• 1:03:36
  like balancing the pros and cons of the things that you're adding
• 1:03:42
  to the map you know and how that's going to benefit you
• 1:03:45
  versus well you No, you added all these like rock formations
• 1:03:51
  to the map. Okay.
• 1:03:53
  Yes you're getting plus 10 every time you finish a loop but
• 1:03:56
  there's also a bunch of Valkyries will come down from
• 1:03:58
  the mountains and spot on the map to.
• 1:04:01
  So it's okay, you get placed in help but every but every couple
• 1:04:05
  of Loops you have to fight some Valkyries.
• 1:04:07
  So it's stuff like that likes. It is like a super weird games.
• 1:04:12
  Like another weird one to try to describe but it just it was just
• 1:04:15
  like, super addicting because like I said, Is it is simple and
• 1:04:21
  certain ways. But very just like addicting
• 1:04:25
  because I guess it kind of like Place the place with their part
• 1:04:29
  of your brain where you like watch like, like watching the
• 1:04:32
  numbers, go up type of thing, type of type of vibe and your
• 1:04:35
  mind, South Bay Loop hero. Like I said, it's just, I never,
• 1:04:39
  I never finished it because it got extremely hard because I
• 1:04:41
  think because because basically as you're traveling around this
• 1:04:47
  Loop multiple times and you're defeating enemies and stuff,
• 1:04:51
  there's also this meter that's kind of like building up with
• 1:04:53
  the bottom to where eventually the boss will spawn in.
• 1:04:58
  Esso. Basically every time you
• 1:05:01
  complete a loop you can stop at any point when you get back to
• 1:05:05
  the starting point and you go back to like just like little
• 1:05:08
  village and that's where you can okay, you know he'll love and do
• 1:05:12
  different stuff or you can just keep going.
• 1:05:15
  And so that's kind of the pro and con of like, okay.
• 1:05:18
  Am I going to keep going to try to get to this boss?
• 1:05:21
  Or if this is just going to be a run of just me trying to just
• 1:05:24
  load up on supplies of like, okay.
• 1:05:26
  I really need to get more whatever things.
• 1:05:30
  Can buy more potions or whatever.
• 1:05:33
  So this time, I'm just going to go on as many Loops as I can and
• 1:05:37
  just load up on equipment and then just kind of stopped and
• 1:05:41
  then we'll prepare each other the boss next time.
• 1:05:43
  But but yeah, I never made it past that first boss man tonight
• 1:05:47
  and I think there was like three bosses or whatever, but I still
• 1:05:51
  had to shout it out. I said just for the simple fact
• 1:05:53
  of it got me to play a freaking PC game cuz cuz I cuz for the
• 1:05:59
  first time in years, Years, I'll load it up, load it up, steam on
• 1:06:06
  my laptop, whatever. And I was I was a man.
• 1:06:08
  Can't come on laptop, even run this cuz I've got a new laptop
• 1:06:11
  since. But I was running on my old
• 1:06:14
  life, 56 plus year old laptop at first.
• 1:06:19
  So but but yeah. But The bit the big boy?
• 1:06:24
  Yeah, yeah. It's like I said, like I said,
• 1:06:26
  it's kind of its kind of weird looking at, but like I say it,
• 1:06:31
  it just helped me for any of these for a little bit.
• 1:06:34
  So, so the big boy, we got to talk about and and I must say
• 1:06:41
  this, game will be open to spoilers cop black, we're gonna
• 1:06:44
  have to touch on the some point, whatever Guardians of the
• 1:06:46
  Galaxy. Good game, great game, this,
• 1:06:52
  yes, this game is one which I feel like that has been kind of
• 1:06:57
  like the sentiment that a lot of people have been saying since it
• 1:07:00
  came out because because those early Trader trailers and and I
• 1:07:05
  remember that first like gameplay things they did at E3,
• 1:07:08
  like, last year whenever it was, it didn't really show off the
• 1:07:12
  game too. Well, for me and for a lot of
• 1:07:14
  people was like, this looks kind of janky.
• 1:07:17
  Seems kind of weird, you know, you plan to Star-Lord, issuing
• 1:07:21
  commands and stuff. But I always say for myself, you
• 1:07:27
  know, while while yes, the gameplay part is a bit
• 1:07:30
  repetitive, a bit repetitive, and kind of spammy or whatever
• 1:07:35
  that didn't detract from me enjoying, like really enjoying
• 1:07:39
  everything else about the game because I know I still enjoyed
• 1:07:43
  doing the combat and stuff. Whatever, you know, wasn't like
• 1:07:45
  my favorite part of the game. I still enjoy doing it because
• 1:07:47
  just, you know, especially as you get like, like like the the
• 1:07:51
  bigger attacks and different stuff like that was just every
• 1:07:54
  time, Especially once the war. Was it a rocket?
• 1:07:57
  Got the freaking giant missile? Yeah, yes.
• 1:08:08
  Yes. And it's like that and I felt it
• 1:08:13
  just like really dark just like when you like lunch all like the
• 1:08:16
  really big attacks or everybody rock with the gyro with the
• 1:08:19
  giant rocket thing Gomorrah with the want to take, or she like
• 1:08:23
  it's just like Throws the enemy up in the air just like slicing
• 1:08:27
  and dicing like a million times and everything else in between.
• 1:08:31
  But but I did not expect the story and They suffered a
• 1:08:40
  touchdown with the characters to grab me the way that it did.
• 1:08:46
  Because, you know, You know, I'm not super big into comics and
• 1:08:53
  stuff, but just even just from the MCU movies, with Guardians
• 1:08:56
  of the Galaxy, you know, it's all about the cast the group of
• 1:09:00
  the Guardians. So, I knew that, of course, they
• 1:09:03
  would be a big focus of the game obviously, but I did not expect
• 1:09:08
  that we will be freaking doing stuff like going into drax's
• 1:09:13
  mind to help him kind of deal with his grief of losing, his
• 1:09:19
  wife and child. I owed or you know Gomorrah
• 1:09:24
  feeling guilty for the stuff that she had to do with her
• 1:09:27
  sister and you know, rocket with the trauma that he's still going
• 1:09:32
  through from being experimented on and it's like all those
• 1:09:36
  stories were told. So freaking well and you know,
• 1:09:42
  like say was just like Beyond, you know, like said what I would
• 1:09:46
  have expected going into this game, man.
• 1:09:51
  But I guess with me like you see, you seen the trailers and
• 1:09:55
  stuff like that media. Like I said, I took a break from
• 1:09:57
  gaming. Yeah.
• 1:09:58
  So you know, this by Friday, I was just buying, I'll just buy
• 1:10:02
  it. So all I saw was like going to
• 1:10:06
  the Galaxy 30 bucks. I don't think it's like The
• 1:10:08
  Telltale Game. Oh yeah.
• 1:10:14
  Yeah. With Amazon.
• 1:10:22
  Yeah, yeah. You know like people that made
• 1:10:25
  the Avengers game. I'm like, oh yeah.
• 1:10:40
  Yeah yeah. Yeah.
• 1:10:57
  I like the voice acting. I think the one thing that that
• 1:11:00
  was jarring for me was when I heard a stall or time because
• 1:11:04
  group sounds like group drag sounds like Drax Gamora.
• 1:11:06
  Sounds like the more rocket sounds like rocket everytime
• 1:11:09
  Star-Lord. I'm like I'm just so used to
• 1:11:12
  Chris Pratt. Yeah.
• 1:11:14
  Well you know yeah but like what's this guy?
• 1:11:17
  I like this guy. To be like he's all like the
• 1:11:19
  Great Value. Yeah.
• 1:11:23
  I like a while. I kind of got used to it.
• 1:11:25
  Yeah, alright cool. So not feel like going into this
• 1:11:28
  game. Like I don't know that much
• 1:11:30
  about the comic book version. Yeah.
• 1:11:32
  Are those the movies my really enjoyed the movie?
• 1:11:35
  I think Guardians of the Galaxy one is a top-five MCD.
• 1:11:38
  Yeah. You quote me on this but even
• 1:11:42
  still you have more attachment with these characters if you
• 1:11:45
  watch the movie. Yeah.
• 1:11:46
  Well you kind of a basis of his character.
• 1:11:47
  Yeah. But even if you don't watch
• 1:11:49
  movies, you'll still get who these characters are this game,
• 1:11:51
  explains them well, especially through like the dialogue trees.
• 1:11:54
  That happens, if you go in like one of the rooms you start
• 1:11:56
  touching her stuff. Yeah.
• 1:11:57
  They have a conversation. It, the one thing that I also
• 1:12:00
  threw me off in this game and I didn't know it has like, I guess
• 1:12:02
  that Mass Effect dialogue tree will like, how I kind of like in
• 1:12:05
  the corner. Like I am on the screen right
• 1:12:07
  now. Yeah, they're talking.
• 1:12:08
  And then they do like this. Yeah.
• 1:12:12
  And then the dialogue tree pops up.
• 1:12:14
  Yeah, that felt weird to me especially since it's not like
• 1:12:16
  Super Choice driven. At work.
• 1:12:20
  I really didn't like yeah, especially when it affects like
• 1:12:23
  stuff you early on. It's like stuff later on.
• 1:12:25
  Yeah. And some of the, some of the
• 1:12:32
  Motions that Star-Lord had because you are too.
• 1:12:36
  And then that's also a thing that threw me off.
• 1:12:37
  Like, I'm like, I'm only playing our song.
• 1:12:39
  Yeah, yeah. Yeah, story with it.
• 1:13:00
  The characters never really acted out of character.
• 1:13:03
  Yeah, pretty good. And the one thing I love the
• 1:13:06
  most probably has to be the soundtrack like when you do the
• 1:13:10
  little huddle up there. Yeah, yeah.
• 1:13:18
  I never knew I was going to Love.
• 1:13:21
  Never Gonna Give You Up so much because that was the memes long.
• 1:13:25
  I got annoyed of that. Yeah every time I was playing
• 1:13:27
  it, that's all played. I'm like yo I got a I got a
• 1:13:29
  bump. Yeah, yeah yeah and and I also
• 1:13:35
  feel like, you know, everything that you said honestly I'm going
• 1:13:40
  back to like when I first started playing the game just
• 1:13:43
  because like I said like from the trailers and stuff whatever
• 1:13:46
  and and I did also get it on by Friday as well.
• 1:13:49
  Because same thing like I said, it was okay, this looks okay,
• 1:13:52
  but I was 0, 30 bucks. Hey sure.
• 1:13:56
  But when I first started playing the game, I wasn't sure like how
• 1:14:00
  much like platform and stuff. Might be in the game because I'm
• 1:14:05
  trying, but I think I might have heard some mention of like I've
• 1:14:09
  okay, he's got like some platform and light like a
• 1:14:11
  charted or whatever, but it wasn't until we got to that
• 1:14:16
  first planet. And I saw, like, no, I like
• 1:14:19
  somebody different elevations. And I was like, can I even jump?
• 1:14:23
  And so the first time I like jumped and I was like, oh, okay.
• 1:14:27
  So so they kind of know changed my perspective, like, how I'm
• 1:14:32
  over on the environments and stuff because now's okay.
• 1:14:35
  Now, there is verticality to different levels and it's all
• 1:14:38
  kind of going Explorer, finding alternate paths would like some
• 1:14:41
  like a yeah, bonus costumes. Just speaking of which I'm like,
• 1:14:47
  man, like I'm like Where is all of gamora's, costumes?
• 1:14:50
  I think I might have found only a couple hours, fine, I found a
• 1:14:56
  bunch of Peter, Quill's outfits and I found a few out.
• 1:15:01
  There are families like a few of everybody else, but good more.
• 1:15:04
  I'm like, where is our her stuff?
• 1:15:07
  So, but, but, but that aside, another part of the game, I
• 1:15:13
  really enjoyed was the was the Sceneries and stuff because
• 1:15:19
  because because one one shot I liked was when what planet I
• 1:15:27
  think I think basically they were basically they were on the
• 1:15:30
  planet where it's kind of like where they have like the little
• 1:15:33
  bit like a observation deck that's kind of like looking at
• 1:15:37
  into what it's supposed to be. Like, like the end of the
• 1:15:38
  universe, where, where you kind of stand there talking with
• 1:15:41
  drags that he's kind of, no reminiscing about his family and
• 1:15:43
  stuff. Whatever it's like shots like
• 1:15:46
  that. Any time you travel, it's like a
• 1:15:49
  new planet and it kind of has like a like a zoomed-out view of
• 1:15:52
  the planet or location or whatever it was just like it
• 1:15:55
  just it looks super dope and the first time you going to the
• 1:16:01
  camera what it's cover basically like like like like the the evil
• 1:16:04
  Fortress, the one that's got like a bunch of Gold Everywhere.
• 1:16:11
  Yes. Yeah I guess they'll make yes.
• 1:16:15
  Yeah. Yeah.
• 1:16:15
  When we kind of first into that area whatever.
• 1:16:18
  And it's just like all this like gold in the off, in the
• 1:16:21
  distance, or whatever and you, but yeah, I just love just like
• 1:16:25
  all those different shots and stuff.
• 1:16:28
  And and and you talking about like what with the choices and
• 1:16:32
  stuff wanted to just kind of just came to mind.
• 1:16:35
  The made me laugh. I think I think I think you're
• 1:16:39
  on nowhere because I think that's kind of kind of like like
• 1:16:42
  one of like the bigger areas that you kind of just like walk
• 1:16:45
  around and stuff whatever. Yeah.
• 1:16:49
  And there's like a group of kids plan or whatever and I want it
• 1:16:53
  went over to play with the kids and I can reply what choice of
• 1:16:57
  something that I did with him. But then the kids Jack Jack's,
• 1:17:01
  my money on my, coz coz coz coz I'm a stop of choice and
• 1:17:07
  something happened. And then like the kids ran off
• 1:17:11
  and then it showed like, like like like my money.
• 1:17:13
  I'm out in the corner, and it went down like a few hundred
• 1:17:17
  bucks, whatever. Like I just got robbed by some
• 1:17:20
  kids, so buddy-buddy just little stuff like that.
• 1:17:25
  And and yeah, man, look like you saying, like, like all the
• 1:17:29
  characters acted like what you expected, I really loved racks
• 1:17:35
  and Jess. Yes, his like just just like his
• 1:17:40
  you just like in the movies and stuff with his humor or him
• 1:17:46
  taking stuff. Yes, being being blind and just
• 1:17:50
  like him, taking certain words or phrases to literal, you know
• 1:17:56
  of different stuff like that. But oh, another character that I
• 1:18:01
  freaking loved Mattis. I really love doing mantis.
• 1:18:05
  She was. Yeah, yeah, probably more comic
• 1:18:13
  accurate. I'm not sure.
• 1:18:15
  Yeah, yeah, that's it. That's what I was gathering as
• 1:18:19
  well, because you because, you know, I I remember this from my
• 1:18:24
  memory from the movies, or whatever her being okay, in the
• 1:18:27
  movies. But I just liked how, you know,
• 1:18:31
  her being one of those characters that's just kind of
• 1:18:33
  like, seeing multiple timelines at once.
• 1:18:38
  Like, okay. And I love like know, when she's
• 1:18:40
  like, travel around with you is like, okay, is this the time
• 1:18:43
  that that thing happens? Or she kind of like Kept messing
• 1:18:48
  with with rocket band, like, oh, no, you know?
• 1:18:51
  No, the okay. This is the one where you die
• 1:18:54
  or, or whatever or being. Oh no.
• 1:18:58
  You used rounding and smaller amounts of water or whatever.
• 1:19:03
  But, yeah, she she was definitely a character that I
• 1:19:06
  that that I really enjoy that stuff as well.
• 1:19:11
  I'm trying to think, I don't know.
• 1:19:12
  I don't know if I have like too much else to say about that
• 1:19:14
  game, but I can also say that I want to know, I don't know if I
• 1:19:19
  should call The Supporting Cast but I guess like secondary
• 1:19:22
  characters or like you know, characters that we don't really
• 1:19:25
  get focused on. Yeah, they introduced to us
• 1:19:27
  person's game like we don't see in the movies about what is mine
• 1:19:31
  and we had to fight that owes all I yeah.
• 1:19:40
  Yeah, some of the Nova Corps. I like, oh, this is dull.
• 1:19:43
  I gotta write this because you don't know what type of
• 1:19:47
  Adventure getting yeah. But I will say that it was a
• 1:19:50
  very fun event. Yes, if you love The Guardians
• 1:19:55
  characters from the MCU movies, you'll love this guy's care.
• 1:19:57
  Yeah, they do these characters really well, I think the best
• 1:20:01
  part about the game, honestly sighs, the gameplay besides
• 1:20:03
  story is the Badger that these characters have while you're
• 1:20:06
  traveling around. Because them just randomly
• 1:20:08
  talking, they're just so hilarious.
• 1:20:10
  Yeah. I was just like, you know,
• 1:20:11
  there's never a dull moment with these characters.
• 1:20:13
  Yeah, love it. Yeah.
• 1:20:15
  And I feel like, like with the characters and their banter and
• 1:20:19
  stuff, I feel like they sprinkled, it just, just arrest
• 1:20:26
  them out, right amounts throughout the game to where it
• 1:20:29
  kind of kind of balanced out some of like the you like more
• 1:20:32
  serious moments and stuff that was happening because there's no
• 1:20:35
  little something some More heavier darker moments and
• 1:20:39
  stuff, whatever. But I feel like they, they
• 1:20:42
  always kind of came through with a little bit of Comedy or
• 1:20:46
  comedic relief at just the right moment towards the okay.
• 1:20:49
  It's not getting like you know, you're not stressing out.
• 1:20:52
  Like you're playing. Last of us are something, you
• 1:20:54
  know, it's kind of okay, a little bit dark moment happen.
• 1:20:57
  But all right you know kind of come back to the ship after some
• 1:20:59
  crazy Mission and kind of just like, okay, let's let's kind of
• 1:21:02
  just, like, chill out. Walk around talk to everybody
• 1:21:06
  relax for a bit. And then whenever you're ready,
• 1:21:10
  now we can kind of move on to the next mission of the next
• 1:21:13
  adventure at stuff. So but but yeah, man.
• 1:21:16
  Yeah, overall, you have felt fantastic game.
• 1:21:19
  Super fantastic game. Yeah, I can't, I don't think
• 1:21:23
  there's any other Game that I can think of from this year.
• 1:21:29
  Well, I put it takes to that was a pretty good game of the year.
• 1:21:33
  Yeah. I got a few weeks before, okay?
• 1:21:37
  Okay. Me and my girlfriend be 2.
• 1:21:39
  And this is like, I guess like her first full full game that
• 1:21:42
  she's. Yeah, and she doesn't know the
• 1:21:44
  controller, so it was just fun. Like, yeah, squirt.
• 1:21:47
  You got ya? Before fully Co-op game.
• 1:21:57
  And for the story to be like this, that's been the story is
• 1:22:00
  just the best thing ever. But yeah, it was, it was really
• 1:22:03
  well, told the characters were pretty cool as well and it had
• 1:22:06
  his funny moments and overall, it was just a fun game with
• 1:22:09
  great like level design. Yeah.
• 1:22:12
  And I think the one thing that game has forgoing the most is
• 1:22:15
  the creativity of the world that it builds for itself.
• 1:22:18
  Yeah I really didn't do anything good.
• 1:22:20
  Yeah, yeah, man. Yeah, that, that that's what I'm
• 1:22:23
  still kind of. On my list of things.
• 1:22:26
  I think I want at least try to play.
• 1:22:28
  Maybe I can maybe try to save if my mom with my wife might be
• 1:22:32
  able to try to play it or whatever but I don't know what
• 1:22:36
  we'll see. We'll see.
• 1:22:39
  I'm trying to because I feel like I fight this year in
• 1:22:41
  general. I feel like I played majority.
• 1:22:45
  So if I wanted to play well, one, I still want to get to a
• 1:22:50
  couple things. I still want to get to our.
• 1:22:51
  I still want to play. Can a bridge of spirits.
• 1:22:55
  I'm ahead and play that year and it keeps on going on sale.
• 1:22:59
  I think it just went on sale again yesterday or whatever.
• 1:23:02
  So I'll do something yourself. So I'd say, yeah, yeah, I'm a
• 1:23:07
  try. Maybe going to scoop that up.
• 1:23:09
  I still want to go back and play the, the new expansion for for
• 1:23:13
  Ghost of tsushima. Because because because I love
• 1:23:17
  the base game when I played that last year and so I definitely
• 1:23:20
  want to go back in dive into that hole.
• 1:23:25
  Sometime soon after that, I feel like, I feel like overall this
• 1:23:31
  year, wasn't light, light, like the biggest year for games or
• 1:23:37
  whatever. There was there was like like a
• 1:23:39
  few Few solid jams few surprises.
• 1:23:42
  Like we said with guardians and stuff like that, but I feel like
• 1:23:47
  you know, next year is different.
• 1:23:48
  Going to kind of crank things up to the extreme because I already
• 1:23:53
  have Like I already have like my list made of, like big things
• 1:24:00
  for next year than my. Okay, I'ma play this this, this
• 1:24:02
  this, and this, and it's just, I'm out to figure out how much,
• 1:24:07
  how much I try to stay on top of it.
• 1:24:08
  Because because because, you know, like what you talked about
• 1:24:11
  earlier with you kind of diving into manga, a lot more this year
• 1:24:15
  and I kind of, you know, kind of taken away or not focus.
• 1:24:18
  So much on other stuff. I feel like this is probably one
• 1:24:20
  of like the first use in a while where I played, like the least
• 1:24:23
  amount of games, because I got it too.
• 1:24:25
  Manga so heavy, it wears like that.
• 1:24:28
  I could play a game but I want to read more of this thing but
• 1:24:32
  I'm about to see how my I'm going to balance that next year
• 1:24:37
  because he even like the first few months of the year already
• 1:24:40
  got Pokemon Legends in january-february, I got Horizon
• 1:24:46
  forbidden West. I need to I need to beat the
• 1:24:51
  first one. I've never.

• 1:25:00
  I don't know, I might not play are doing right when he first
• 1:25:02
  comes out I'm interested in it just because I really enjoyed
• 1:25:05
  blood-borne and stuff like that. So but yeah it's very long list
• 1:25:10
  of stuff kind of coming up next year that looking forward to but
• 1:25:15
  but yeah, but I think we'll take a quick little break and then
• 1:25:19

• 1:25:23
  So we'll be right back. All right, we are back.
• 1:25:30
  So it is time for some manga talk.
• 1:25:34
  So Jumped out at, you know, what, a freaking Stark has
• 1:25:39
  because I feel like I have consumed so much manga this
• 1:25:42
  year. Both, you know, from you know
• 1:25:45
  the normal weekly Shonen Jump series of stuff to you know just
• 1:25:51
  various new things, I've discovered or whatever.
• 1:25:54
  So I'm trying to think I guess, I'll guess I'll start with 11
• 1:25:59
  series that I know obviously keep up with whatever but you
• 1:26:03
  know, still enjoy is one piece. I don't know if I ever ran.
• 1:26:07
  She I'm pretty sure. I don't know what is you and
• 1:26:10
  your relationship with one piece.
• 1:26:11
  You read it. You keep up with it.
• 1:26:13
  No. Yes, maybe pretty sure.
• 1:26:26
  Yeah. Because yeah.
• 1:26:35
  Yeah. I'm like Yeah.
• 1:26:44
  Yeah, yeah, yeah. So last year was last year.
• 1:26:59
  One piece of the one man that I really got me into actually,
• 1:27:01
  like one of the LI way more manga.
• 1:27:04
  Yeah. So last year, I was reading one
• 1:27:06
  piece on Mike I'm gonna try to get to pull chapter thousand
• 1:27:08
  before it hits a thousand. Yeah.
• 1:27:10
  So I've been is all one piece last year and I was like, this
• 1:27:13
  is amazing. Yeah, this is the greatest thing
• 1:27:15
  since sliced bread. Sorry it is.
• 1:27:18
  Oh yeah. One piece is just so good.
• 1:27:19
  So yeah, I'm in part of 10, but Let me see if I can say, the
• 1:27:26
  last thing without spoiling. Oh, well, let me, let me, let me
• 1:27:29
  see. I'll give this caveat, we will.
• 1:27:34
  We will open the floor for spoilers because, you know, just
• 1:27:37
  because because because I'm a time stamp everything.
• 1:27:40
  So, feel free to spoil one piece because we are in the manga
• 1:27:45
  section so spoilers for One Piece manga, all right.
• 1:27:49
  So I will say laughing, I remember reading mom OG Actual
• 1:27:55
  Dragon flew Luffy all the way up.
• 1:28:00
  Yeah, flu Luffy all the way up to kaido and Yamato and kind of
• 1:28:06
  was fighting. Yeah, and I'm trying to remember
• 1:28:13
  really, what happened all the way there?
• 1:28:14
  That was the last thing I remember from.
• 1:28:16
  Yeah. Okay.
• 1:28:19
  Like that's why the stop reading 10 because just keeping up with
• 1:28:21
  that Weekly grind. Yeah, especially if you're
• 1:28:23
  eating more than one series, Oh yeah.
• 1:28:26
  Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, bizarre I write up
• 1:28:42
  to what was that? Was that are called God's
• 1:28:46
  children? Was it lost children?
• 1:28:50
  I forgot what it's called. Yeah.
• 1:28:55
  Okay. Okay, quick.
• 1:28:59
  Quick question. Question went.
• 1:29:02
  Berserk as you're collecting them physically.
• 1:29:04
  Are you cooking? Like the individual ones we
• 1:29:06
  collect in the, the big black? The deluxe one is our God.
• 1:29:10
  Yeah, yeah. Yeah.
• 1:29:13
  I haven't thought of collecting them yet.
• 1:29:15
  I want to some point when I have When I have a more space is
• 1:29:24
  definitely on my list because because I know anytime I
• 1:29:27
  anytime, I watch, anybody consecrated, whoever that have
• 1:29:32
  them in the background display, whatever, they all.
• 1:29:35
  Just look so nice and I see them in person all the time, whenever
• 1:29:38
  I go out to the different bookstores whatever.
• 1:29:40
  So I'm just like some day, some day, you will be mine and you
• 1:29:44
  will look beautiful, you know, and on my shelf, but yeah,
• 1:29:49
  definitely go get them. Was on.
• 1:29:51
  Yeah, okay, okay, okay. Yeah, I'll say a couple for me.
• 1:30:02
  So, you know, and this is a story I've talked about before,
• 1:30:06
  but I still say it again. So when I started doing a
• 1:30:08
  podcast, the, the first two physical volumes I've ever
• 1:30:13
  owned, I bought was, it was a volume 1 of 20 20th century,
• 1:30:20
  boys, and then volume, Five of Venice Agha or book 5, just
• 1:30:29
  because for one because 20th century boy is this a series
• 1:30:32
  that I've always wanted to read for so long?
• 1:30:35
  But every time I try to, you know, if I found it online, I
• 1:30:38
  ought to get barely through like a chapter and just like not
• 1:30:42
  feeling it. And so with me, having the
• 1:30:44
  podcast something, okay, I have an excuse to invest in it and
• 1:30:48
  now I'm like, right now I'm like, hey, this thing is
• 1:30:50
  physically occupying, my space, I need at least give it an
• 1:30:54
  honest shot. And I started, I still haven't
• 1:30:56
  finished it but I started out read a few handful of ice water
• 1:31:00
  that but that's been one. I really enjoyed enjoyed.
• 1:31:04
  Every book of been in Saga that I've read this year as well.
• 1:31:07
  I'm I've read up to Eight. And so I'm eager to get the rest
• 1:31:17
  of the catch up with that because I know book 12 just
• 1:31:20
  dropped last week, which I had no clue.
• 1:31:23
  That was even coming out anytime soon or two, when my buddies on
• 1:31:27
  online was like, hey look I just picked up and I was like wait,
• 1:31:29
  what? So yeah.
• 1:31:34
  Yeah. That that that's what I was
• 1:31:35
  hearing. Oh, another Series this year
• 1:31:39
  that I got into that I really enjoyed was a dark That's
• 1:31:44
  another one. Okay.
• 1:31:45
  Have you rather? I mean the creator of Dory Dory.
• 1:31:49
  Yep yeah yeah it's it's a really fun kind of like a Sci-Fi Dark
• 1:31:58
  Fantasy series because you know just not a direct comparison but
• 1:32:04
  just kind of meet thinking the same the the cast of characters
• 1:32:08
  in The Guardians like there's like there's like a core cast of
• 1:32:12
  characters. And a dark that already love,
• 1:32:17
  just just off of the two volumes, I've read and volume 3
• 1:32:20
  just dropped recently as well. So that that's, that's one that
• 1:32:23
  I've that I picked up this year, that I really enjoyed door, her
• 1:32:28
  door. I still, I still need to go back
• 1:32:29
  and finish season one because I started it and stopped for
• 1:32:33
  whatever reason. And I know, I know that the
• 1:32:36
  manga for that, you know, is long finished.
• 1:32:39
  So maybe I'll start reading that.
• 1:32:41
  I don't know. But Dora Dora is I want to, I
• 1:32:45
  want to get around and get back to reading another manga and
• 1:32:51
  this was definitely a case of if I wasn't going in person at
• 1:32:55
  finding stuff for him, I probably never give this a shot.
• 1:32:58
  It's a series called karate Survivor.
• 1:33:01
  It is a it is a nice a car. Yeah but Seven Seas.
• 1:33:06
  Yes. Yeah, absolutely.
• 1:33:11
  Actually in a recent video. I get that manga.
• 1:33:14
  The manga slav. Nice, nice.
• 1:33:18
  Yeah. Bob I am at it, you know, and
• 1:33:21
  I'll say it's one especially because, because because I had
• 1:33:25
  finished volume to recently whatever and it printed it kind
• 1:33:29
  of solidified it, okay. I will continue to buy these
• 1:33:33
  because while you know while it's not necessarily doing like
• 1:33:37
  something like super big and crazy and Nique.
• 1:33:41
  But I just feel like what it does.
• 1:33:43
  It does. Well, it does it well enough to
• 1:33:46
  wear both of these the day, I've bought them or whatever they
• 1:33:52
  have started. Reading them, I read it all in
• 1:33:53
  one sitting which, you know, which, you know, I do for other
• 1:33:56
  series as well, but with both of those, it was just like I
• 1:34:01
  started it. Time blurred and I'm like, dang,
• 1:34:06
  not. Now, I gotta wait for the next
• 1:34:07
  one, but, but, but but yeah, like I said, it's know that as I
• 1:34:10
  told you before, you know, super simple premise guy dies meets
• 1:34:16
  this god-figure, gets reincarnated into the into this
• 1:34:20
  fantasy world, but he only skill that he gets is karate, so he
• 1:34:27
  doesn't have any magic and nothing else fancy.
• 1:34:29
  He just just about these hands. Yeah, and some fire so that that
• 1:34:38
  that's different than like a little hidden Jam that that I've
• 1:34:42
  enjoyed this year and another quick one, I'll shout out as
• 1:34:47
  well. And this one I got put on by
• 1:34:52
  buddy of mine. Who's also a consecrated named
• 1:34:55
  Jim? And I manga, the series is cost
• 1:34:59
  Saturn Apartments. It's a slightly older series.
• 1:35:02
  He's basically it follows this this young guy.
• 1:35:07
  So, okay. So the the setting for the
• 1:35:09
  series is that sometime in the future, there's no more humans
• 1:35:15
  living on Earth. All of basically Earth has just
• 1:35:19
  become just like, just like a giant Nature Preserve and so
• 1:35:22
  everybody all of humanity lives on this ring that surrounds the
• 1:35:27
  planet and like like a lot of these series of stuff go The
• 1:35:33
  ring. There's a hierarchy.
• 1:35:35
  No, I like the high class people live at the top middle class and
• 1:35:38
  the lower class live on the bottom part of the ring.
• 1:35:41
  And so this main character, he is a window washer.
• 1:35:45
  And so I've only read volume one more most most of all you want,
• 1:35:50
  but basically it just kind of just follows just his just his
• 1:35:56
  Journey of just kind of like like been a banner.
• 1:35:59
  Wonder? Why sure in this environment and
• 1:36:02
  also trying to figure out some mystery around his dad because
• 1:36:08
  it's know his dad was a window washer before him.
• 1:36:11
  And there were some incident that happened to wear his dad's
• 1:36:14
  rope got cut and so he's presumed dead.
• 1:36:19
  We don't know because, no, you're the freaking up in space.
• 1:36:22
  Maybe he fell to the plan in survive, don't know.
• 1:36:24
  But but yeah. It's like it was one that every
• 1:36:27
  time I saw the cover of it and I saw her Gemini manga talk about
• 1:36:32
  it. I was like that.
• 1:36:33
  Sounds interesting, I'ma give it a shot.
• 1:36:35
  So saying so Saturn Apartments that's definitely one.
• 1:36:40
  Even when I search on YouTube for people that have done videos
• 1:36:43
  and stuff on it. They are very few and far
• 1:36:46
  between as far as stuff like that but but what has been a
• 1:36:51
  some some other stuff that you've enjoyed this year?
• 1:37:00
  Yeah, x-rated on your show. So let me go ahead.
• 1:37:12
  I took a big pause. I took a big Hiatus this yeah.
• 1:37:17
  And I got back to it recently like a few months ago and then I
• 1:37:20
  took another Hiatus because I'm the playing video games.
• 1:37:22
  Yeah. So bleach has been one question.
• 1:37:24
  Or are you reading bleach for the first time or cool?
• 1:37:30
  I used to see it. Yes, yeah, yeah, Rukia here.
• 1:37:46

  Yeah. So just make me laugh.
• 1:42:43
  Situations. I know it's trauma.
• 1:42:46

• 1:42:51
  circumstances. Yeah.
• 1:42:52
  So, yeah. There's some of the yeah.

• 1:43:00
  starting in January for that. So I've heard, I've heard okay
• 1:43:04
  stuff by someone with too much. Check that out.
• 1:43:06
  When that drops trustee, is there any other like little
• 1:43:10
  quick ones? Oh, I started, I am a hero that,
• 1:43:18
  that, that's one. Yes, yeah, I really enjoyed that
• 1:43:22
  first volume like, or that first Omnibus.
• 1:43:27
  And I breezed through that one, which I did not expect, like I
• 1:43:31
  started reading it. It hooked me, and it was through
• 1:43:34
  that. And I know you mentioned, zom
• 1:43:39
  100. I'm still only own volume 1.
• 1:43:42
  I got volumes 2 and 3. I need it.
• 1:43:45
  I need to knock them out call of the night.
• 1:43:49
  That that's one that I've been enjoying that.
• 1:43:52
  That's the it's the yes the vampire won't.
• 1:43:57
  Yeah. Yeah that that that's when I've
• 1:44:00
  been enjoying. Like I mentioned sweat and soap
• 1:44:05
  you know I've only read Barnwell.
• 1:44:08
  I'm on volume 2 now whatever. But that's what I'm enjoying
• 1:44:11
  that. There might be one maybe in the
• 1:44:14
  coming months when I have some money I might just go ahead,
• 1:44:16
  just buy all the rest of it because I know the series is
• 1:44:18
  done. I don't know.
• 1:44:20
  I think the last volume it's either either just came out or
• 1:44:24
  is coming out next month, so I might just go ahead, just buy it
• 1:44:28
  all and just bench it all and then, you know, be be done with
• 1:44:31
  it. But I've been Joy that I don't
• 1:44:38
  know if I'm right, if I'm a continue with this one, this is
• 1:44:40
  one this level. One, Demon Lord and, and one
• 1:44:47
  room hero. Oh, I wanted to check that one
• 1:44:50
  out. I think I started.
• 1:45:15
  I'm pretty sure I started volume to.
• 1:45:17
  I just need a new go back and finish it, but but yeah, that
• 1:45:20
  that was another one to where, you know, I saw the cover and I
• 1:45:24
  was just in the name. I was like, sure, whatever.
• 1:45:27
  All you know, I'll give it a I'll give it a shot and see, see
• 1:45:30
  what that's about. Trying to think.
• 1:45:40
  Oh, young late, young ladies, don't play fighting games, I got
• 1:45:45
  volume, 1 of that, I read it, loved it.

  being big into games and stuff because that that are actually
• 1:45:57
  are you familiar with that series or heard of it, or okay?
• 1:46:01

• 1:46:02
  for listeners or whatever, that's the one we're basically
• 1:46:05
  it's about these young girls Young ladies at this kind of
• 1:46:10
  like this basket is private screw school that they're going
• 1:46:13
  to to learn to be proper young ladies and at the school all
• 1:46:17
  video games are banned but the two main characters they are
• 1:46:22
  both. Like when I say hardcore, Gamers
• 1:46:24
  like hardcore fighting Gamers, they bought, they have
• 1:46:27
  fightsticks, the whole shebang. And so I just really enjoyed the
• 1:46:32
  way then like they actually kind of like break down like
• 1:46:37
  certainty. Terms and stuff as far as like,
• 1:46:39
  like when the characters are doing combo moves and stuff,
• 1:46:42
  where they actually show like, like the Motions of the
• 1:46:44
  characters doing the different combo moves and stuff.
• 1:46:47
  And it's just really dope, whatever.
• 1:46:50
  And like I said, just just these girls kind of just going above
• 1:46:54
  and beyond to get their gaming fix while trying to, you know,
• 1:47:00
  you know, keep it on the right or whatever.
• 1:47:01
  So, because one is saying that, that prude me, I was okay.
• 1:47:08
  They were really serious about this.
• 1:47:09
  They, they were in this like like this, empty classroom,
• 1:47:12
  whatever playing and this janitor is about to come in to
• 1:47:16
  clean or whatever and so they're like, crap where we going to
• 1:47:19
  hide one of the girls ran and like, jump through the window.
• 1:47:23
  Adam, not an open window glass and all because I was turning
• 1:47:28
  the page up there. There's okay, we gotta go and
• 1:47:30
  they're running, I'll turn the page and glass there, just just
• 1:47:34
  diving through him like, okay. Y'all really about that life.
• 1:47:41
  But but yeah, that's like the other one.
• 1:47:43
  I don't think I have too many other.
• 1:47:48
  Physical volumes listed of guy and at least nothing that I can
• 1:47:52
  think of. Let me see, 22, 27 Apartments, I
• 1:47:58
  have some that I picked up that is Destiny to get to I want to
• 1:48:04
  find a check out this of the it's called a number five.
• 1:48:08
  It's like a like a weird like sci-fi this one.
• 1:48:12
  Yeah. So yes, I'm interested in
• 1:48:16
  finally diving. they're all red Heavenly delusion, finally, it's
• 1:48:21
  kind of Not as good but I guess kind of got like a similar vein
• 1:48:28
  to promise Never Land as far as like kids in a locked office,
• 1:48:34
  ility type of thing. But the difference with this, at
• 1:48:37
  least from what I've understood from volume 1, is there some
• 1:48:40
  kids isolated in the thing but then there are also still
• 1:48:44
  regular people out roaming the world and stuff, so, but I don't
• 1:48:49
  like say it was interesting. My match check out Volume 2 of
• 1:48:51
  that. Couple other mangas I just want
• 1:48:55
  to shout out real quick and it is kind of just more like Shonen
• 1:48:58
  Jump stuff that I just buried it reading on the app Sakamoto
• 1:49:01
  days, still still really liking that Masher you know, not not
• 1:49:09
  maybe not necessarily like my favorite out of stuff are read
• 1:49:11
  but it's still just like a fun goofy time.
• 1:49:15
  Any time I'm reading it, I don't think cauchy number eight.
• 1:49:22
  Still really enjoy reading that. Or are you reading College
• 1:49:25
  number a? Or have you checked it out?
• 1:49:27
  Yeah. All right, up to the part.
• 1:49:28
  You said, no spoilers. I'm fully caught up.
• 1:49:33
  I remember was when he was fighting old girl that he got
• 1:49:37
  cool with that kind of a suit or a character who's fighting her
• 1:49:40
  daddy. Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay,
• 1:49:44
  okay, okay, okay, okay, but yeah, that it's not not too far
• 1:49:49
  behind because because I think they only do like a few Chapters
• 1:49:52
  and they do a bright future student brand kind of like how
• 1:49:54
  spot family does, you know, breaks periodically and stuff.
• 1:50:01
  Oh, one that I've really enjoyed reading this year has been a
• 1:50:06
  doctor Stone. But we choose our.
• 1:50:12
  Yeah. Heart.
• 1:50:13
  Or are you reading that one to know, gotcha?
• 1:50:17
  My pea brain. Can't.
• 1:50:22
  I'll just say because I've talked about a plane in there
• 1:50:26
  for their people want to hear specifics, pause, whatever.
• 1:50:29
  Go back to past episodes, but just the The Arc that happened,
• 1:50:35
  like, like turns out the end of spring going into summer.
• 1:50:38
  There's Like that's just just like a really big event that
• 1:50:40
  happened or whatever, they kind of shifted, a lot of stuff in
• 1:50:43
  the series. There was like, okay, I thought
• 1:50:45
  we were going here but we took like a A very welcome but
• 1:50:52
  unexpected detour with some with some stuff that happened or
• 1:50:56
  whatever. So Obama dr.
• 1:50:57
  Stone was definitely one of my favorite favorite reason of this
• 1:51:03
  year. Shout out to suika.
• 1:51:07
  She earned for me goat status this year because she she had
• 1:51:13
  like her own like kind of like like many arc during that event.
• 1:51:17
  I'm talking about to where she kind of got like I like some
• 1:51:20
  real time to shine. And so by dr.
• 1:51:23
  Stone. China think.
• 1:51:31
  That that might really be it as far as far as like, like, like
• 1:51:36
  like the main things I want to, I want to go back in.
• 1:51:41
  Well, I've been Katt trying to catch up on Undead a look
• 1:51:47
  because I was reading that I had I had been in a car with another
• 1:51:50
  point and then I stopped reading it back during the summer
• 1:51:53
  somehow I got like 30-something chapter 3.
• 1:51:56
  So I've been trying to catch up because I have planned.
• 1:52:00
  I'm Steve The target. But when they do chapter 100 and
• 1:52:04
  a couple of months or maybe 7:00, I think they already, I
• 1:52:08
  think they're already in the 90s, So within it, within the
• 1:52:11
  coming months or whatever. When I hit chapter 100, I'm
• 1:52:14
  planning on doing like episode with because I have a buddy of
• 1:52:18
  mine. Steve, from, from Inside the
• 1:52:22
  Mind of a blurry podcast, he's a big dumb luck fan.
• 1:52:25
  So, me and him were planning on doing like a little episode or
• 1:52:28
  something about that. So I didn't want to catch up on
• 1:52:30
  that. I'm just scrolling through just
• 1:52:34
  saying, was there anything else? I finally I finally started
• 1:52:41
  reading and got really deep into Mission.
• 1:52:43
  Yozakura family. That's been like a really good
• 1:52:45
  read. I'm not fully caught up but I've
• 1:52:47
  enjoyed writer whatever rid of that one.
• 1:52:53
  Yeah, that might be it. I want to say rest in peace, two
• 1:52:57
  Hunters. Guild Red Hood, man.
• 1:53:01
  They've the potential you had a single man do like I just really
• 1:53:11
  liked the setting and the world. Of that series were there.
• 1:53:18
  Just because I don't know, just, just the way light like the art
• 1:53:21
  of it and just how creative the Arthur was with like certain
• 1:53:28
  creature designs and stuff like that.
• 1:53:32
  The premise of it was just set up to be so good because it's
• 1:53:35
  this, this fantasy world where they have stuff like, werewolves
• 1:53:39
  and talk about dragons and witches and all this stuff, but
• 1:53:44
  I feel like, you know, it just didn't get the The time and the
• 1:53:48
  space that needed to grow into breathe and then it kind of just
• 1:53:52
  fell off, I feel like it kind of hit that same Mark with a couple
• 1:53:58
  years ago. Samurai 82, where it's like man
• 1:54:01
  the potential is here. but, Rest in peace of Samurai 8 as well
• 1:54:11
  Masashi Kishimoto. Yeah, yeah.
• 1:54:17
  That that was one that I really enjoyed the, I guess more so
• 1:54:25
  like like like a lot of like the designs of stuff like like the
• 1:54:29
  like the different armors and stuff that they had.
• 1:54:31
  I like that part. But I feel like with that he was
• 1:54:34
  getting Super, and of ways with all these different technical
• 1:54:39
  terms and dialogue and stuff for the time, like I'm like, I'm
• 1:54:43
  like we don't really need all of that now, but it is what it is,
• 1:54:49
  you know. But but, but yeah, Hunters Guild
• 1:54:51
  red heard, you know, had potential went bye-bye and I
• 1:54:58
  think that might be it. I feel like there's like
• 1:55:01
  something else I wanted to shout out.
• 1:55:06
  But I'm not sitting some not say anything on the app that's
• 1:55:09
  coming to mind somebody. Maybe I'll think about something
• 1:55:11
  else but but yeah, but I guess just kind of just like, closing
• 1:55:15
  thoughts, man. You know, just, you know, I
• 1:55:24
  guess we're kind of, like, run down I guess I for for manga
• 1:55:26
  this year, did he feel like it was a, it is your experience
• 1:55:31
  with my grief. That goes a good year for manga.
• 1:55:33
  Okay, year, how you feeling about manga and this year?
• 1:55:39
  In terms of new manga, because this is the year, like I fully
• 1:55:42
  like guy into like holy like hardcore colloquium.
• 1:55:45
  Oh yeah, sure. I guess it was a pretty It was a
• 1:55:51
  pretty good year in terms of Shonen Jump.
• 1:55:53
  I mean, a lot of stuff to get axed or hit the can.
• 1:55:55
  Yeah, but I mean, there was a few hitters, I mean, we got
• 1:55:58
  Sakamoto days. Yeah, I think I like out of the
• 1:56:01
  new bunch. I like it the most.
• 1:56:02
  Yeah. We got on that all Kaiju
• 1:56:04
  numbering which are like second most magical.
• 1:56:07
  I think I like that one. Probably say yeah.
• 1:56:11
  You know do we got the usual stuff?
• 1:56:12
  Like black? Love with going hard.
• 1:56:14
  One piece going hard? Yeah.
• 1:56:16
  Oh my hero art has been going hard.
• 1:56:18
  Can't pursue speak about about her?
• 1:56:19
  Yeah. Yeah.
• 1:56:20
  Then we have what I like to say. My nasty, man.
• 1:56:29
  Yeah, yeah, science science. I'm hearing like I said no
• 1:56:33
  earlier, you know, it's like this was the year that I truly
• 1:56:36
  feel like my appreciation for manga.
• 1:56:41
  Just grew a million times over. Because like I said just just
• 1:56:46
  the fact of me starting to physically collect, it just
• 1:56:49
  really just open the Gateway to so much more stuff.
• 1:56:53
  And then, you know, with with me getting into this content
• 1:56:57
  creation, space with the podcast and YouTube and all that stuff,
• 1:56:59
  whatever. Following a lot more people
• 1:57:03
  that, you know, that talk about it, like yourself and other
• 1:57:08
  people and stuff. And even just even just all the
• 1:57:11
  awesome people. I follow on Instagram and just
• 1:57:14
  be posting pictures of jazz. Their Stags, are there new
• 1:57:17
  things that are buying or the reviews of the stuff that they
• 1:57:20
  read? It is just like, it's like all
• 1:57:22
  the time of my, okay, adding more to my lizard.
• 1:57:24
  Oh, what is that? Okay.
• 1:57:26
  Okay. Okay.
• 1:57:28
  Coz coz coz coz I already have a few for sure that I'm like I
• 1:57:38
  need to I need to wrap up some series that I have.
• 1:57:41
  So I can dive into a couple other things because a few that
• 1:57:46
  I that I've heard good things about that.
• 1:57:49
  I want to get 21 is a it's a current still ongoing series
• 1:57:56
  called a thing which hat at Lear.
• 1:58:00
  I tell you, yes, that best one, I've heard good stuff about.
• 1:58:05
  And every time I go into the garden to the store, I'm like,
• 1:58:07
  is today the day I do it and I'm like, no Robert.
• 1:58:10
  You need to, you need to finish something, you know, but before,
• 1:58:13
  and it's because I already know that was already got cause to
• 1:58:16
  double digits of volumes to some okay also space because I think
• 1:58:20
  they're like up to like, maybe like if they're not up to volume
• 1:58:23
  10 year, I think they released me like 8 or 9.
• 1:58:27
  But anyway, that's one. And then a older series that I
• 1:58:31
  want to get on because same way, like, with Saturn Apartments, I
• 1:58:35
  got from Some people are follow. Its another older series called
• 1:58:41
  If I remember correctly I think it's called.
• 1:58:43
  Think it's ikigai me. Let me see ikki.
• 1:58:49
  Yeah, ikegami the ultimate limit that is one That I know when I
• 1:58:56
  start to hunt for it, it's going to be a real hunt because I know
• 1:59:00
  some of those volumes are hard to come across.
• 1:59:04
  So it might just be a thing where I think a lot of people
• 1:59:07
  they've been like, ordering through like right stuff because
• 1:59:10
  it's because I know every time I look on there, they have several
• 1:59:13
  of the volumes, but some of the other ones, they're like, you
• 1:59:15
  know, it's no out of stock but expecting more and so people
• 1:59:19
  just been ordering and then just when they get in stock, they're
• 1:59:22
  just ship it. But but yeah, that that is
• 1:59:24
  definitely. One that is probably like one of
• 1:59:29
  my, my FrontRunner of like, okay, by this time.
• 1:59:31
  Next year, I want to have that series and have it completed
• 1:59:35
  because because that's another one, where Gemini manga.
• 1:59:39
  And then also another person, her name is a bald-headed
• 1:59:43
  Senpai. She also, both of them have just
• 1:59:49
  gushed about how much they've love that series and from the
• 1:59:52
  premise of it, I'm like, okay, it's kind of like, no, like a
• 1:59:55
  psychological Thriller type of series that I'm I okay.
• 1:59:58
  I definitely get my hands on that but but yeah, Betty who,
• 2:00:02
  you know, kind of going to kind of wrap this bad boy up, you
• 2:00:05
  know, knocking on two hours. But I feel like that time was
• 2:00:09
  well spent just because trying to look back on the the year as
• 2:00:14
  a whole, you know, defecate do that in the short quantity.
• 2:00:21
  But yeah, Bubba just, you know, once again, you know, shout out
• 2:00:24
  to to Only Chase aka the dark stage for for coming through and
• 2:00:31
