first kill with a crowd see
3:30
energy is is so different than when you're like watching
3:32
it on your little cleaner screen and
3:34
your dislikes you know like even what's going on my tv
3:37
isn't the same as watching it on a big screen
3:39
with people who have no idea of going to happen
3:41
are just there to have a good time and
3:43
are and what you got to have that that
3:45
sounds really awesome yeah i
3:48
find that sometimes when i'm watching just
3:50
by myself vs with another
3:52
person or with a group of people than my
3:54
experience can be different to sell
3:56
absolutely like this is fine you
3:58
should watch it when someone because so
4:00
many bizarre crazy things up
4:02
and bad it just be fun to talk to someone about
4:05
and he can hold hands when i get scary of
4:07
course oh yeah i mean
4:09
that's like the best part of these i don't
4:11
have a m v like the
4:18
after party there were like astor's
4:21
dress up walking around in zombies
4:23
anyways i that i'm analysis
4:26
you remember all made sense about survival
4:28
though like i hope that you were
4:31
still keeping your mind on the survival
4:33
prizes that's how they get year first they say
4:35
like oh it is here to help they
4:37

5:24
them who also i'm usually not that big
5:26
of a ryan gosling down the

5:48
was the dad angle you just need to make
5:51
someone a dad and i at the i
5:53
fall in love with them immediately so there is
5:55
so yeah dot angle and and i'm like oh
5:57
wow okay one more thing
5:59
so busy princess, this is the problem,
6:02
there's too many things happen, you
6:06
plug my own content marketing
6:09
eventually, because she's so good
6:11
at promoting herself and i'm sitting here like,
6:13
what
6:16
i also, i'm geeked about this week is so,
6:18
my therapist is doing such a good
6:20
job with me, trying to learn how to have self-esteem
6:22
again i
6:25
feel when you are raised but
6:27
especially when you are raised catholic the
6:30
whole, i'd like, you internalize so many
6:32
things and to me kinds
6:35
of pride, like pride in your work, pioneer
6:38
are all like little mini traps,
6:40
you know, it's like if i lose
6:42
myself up too much, it's going to create the fall
6:44
and it's going to be like you know and therapists
6:47
was just leaving know, that's
6:49
not fair to you that's not true
6:51
and like you've learned
6:53
these things you didn't just get them in
6:55
or like, look how great i am so, what
6:59
i'm thinking the about is learning how to have high self
7:01
esteem at getting out of the catholic school system
7:03
system cry back to the
7:06
actual good guides had test was going to god
7:08

8:23
fire amazing because i love
8:25
games speaking of isn't

8:30
, have video
8:34
sentences
8:39
they were , bass
8:42
baby are see what segment
8:45
club
8:47
but this time videogame
8:49
addition to don't go on
8:51
and and and i went on but this fight club
8:54
again does it ever got a pen together
8:57
pets against each other not pin with only
8:59
oh that's a different types
9:02
twelve different front office
9:06
and see who we think would win
9:08
would win fight club
9:10
round one
9:13
the first one we have is the
9:15
one the only gerald
9:18
from the witcher vs already
9:20
them a trust are super tall vampire
9:23
mommy tank brought to life
9:25
of from resident evil eight so
9:27
well
9:28
long and around them
9:31
ah man
9:34
wow it's one of those
9:36
things because i've been watching the witcher so
9:38
much recently i just was
9:40
blown away by the swords
9:43
i don't know how
9:45
lady how miss vampire mommy
9:47
how see as with a sword and
9:49
i don't know like i feel age
9:51
i don't know girls
9:54
you spot so many different monsters
9:56
that i feel like you to take out the mommy unfortunately
9:59
i i think this the i don't think she
10:01
will be intimidating or scary to him
10:04
whereas like with other
10:06
people she could be intimidating she could
10:08
sort of like be someone
10:10
that they are scared
10:13
of i don't know i do a better you
10:15
get away and and but i don't
10:17
wanna say that she's not
10:19
amazing because i love her and she is
10:22
a tall queen i've not played against
10:24
her but i have watched twitch
10:26
streams of people like of finding
10:29
her and it was always a moment
10:31
so i don't want to take away from her moment in
10:33
society by i just
10:36
think that he would win
10:38
i have to agree with you i knowledge
10:40
of the contrary and we get to actually fight
10:42
but i actually agree i think that we
10:44
are intimidated by a mommy because we want
10:46
her to mommy isolate but girl
10:49
has a mommy her name is jennifer
10:51
i remembered and he's also a daddy's
10:53
so right now he's already got
10:55
his family together he doesn't need a mommy
10:58
and that's fine more for this
11:00
way mommy vs dad in
11:02
august and the war of mommy vs
11:04
that issue will with ah
11:06
sadly in this case daddy daddy
11:09
wins this time
11:10
brown
11:13
that we're gonna pin this in
11:15
this corner jinx from
11:17
me
11:19
versus the joker
11:22
from you know batman arkham that you know
11:24
who the joker is guys so
11:26
who do we think is gonna win
11:28
princess what do you think i'm going for
11:30
drinks because i'll never vote for the joker
11:32
for anything except for brains the i'm
11:35
and also i think things also makes
11:37
her own tech and does her own tricks
11:39
isn't need good the is
11:41
the good and why the and the goblin
11:43
everything like what is the joker
11:46
skills except like puns ah
11:48
now a domestic abuser and that's really
11:51
and on we don't root for that here so
11:53
i'll i gonna say is i'm jane
11:56
also her hair is cooler well
11:58
it seems of my girl what i
12:00
one hundred percent think that she
12:03
would kick his ass and i
12:05
once every one to kick the jokers
12:07
as and multiple reality every
12:09
so i
12:10
i agree i think that jinx would when i
12:13
when things to win i'll be rooting for her
12:16
we're rooting for you you're doing amazing sweetie
12:20
you get out early
12:22
yes winner
12:24
the
12:27
wow i'm sorry next ,
12:29
have mud man from pop
12:31
had said had a had yes says
12:33
we'll raise raise
12:35
messing with so wrong month buddies
12:38
and he is up against
12:40
the plumber himself is
12:42
some audio you know from
12:44
all the mario merchandise
12:47
who who do you have in this endless war of
12:49
the ams oh man
12:51
it's one of those things were like
12:54
cup head is the one that's usually
12:57
you know going for it ends i
12:59
feel like he would be the one that would normally
13:02
try to deceive another foe
13:04
but if mud man was come in and honestly
13:07
, just want mug man to win because
13:09
i cannot stand mario i'm so
13:11
sorry for all these mario lovers out
13:13
there but i hate most main
13:16
characters and mario
13:18
just annoys the crap out of me
13:20
and especially when he's played by chris pratt
13:22
no offense chris pratt also
13:26
, , and chris pratt like
13:28
he is sick the dinosaurs baby box
13:33
and like that mcmahon like i
13:36
give my mendoza much skill you her mendoza would
13:38
say that's not the era of barrio
13:40
is done it's time for the cubs to inherit
13:42
the earth cubs to many apps it's time
13:44
for the cubs to rise because honestly
13:47
everyone loves luigi and
13:49
oreo more
13:50
anyway and my sonic is
13:52
better also and then finally
13:55
like all mario does is continuously
13:57
kozlov thousand pieces king
14:00
place satisfied and them
14:02
like he's really does and the way he is
14:04
he really does the third wheel all the time
14:07
a little a leg it's time
14:09
for luigi to take back the franchise
14:11
he deserves also that one episode
14:13
of compared when mug man like had on
14:15
those goggles and then he thought that he
14:18
was invincible and was doing everything i
14:20
just think he needs to put on those goggles and
14:22
then he will defeat mario very easily
14:24
sell given the goggles let
14:26
him when yeah agreed mcmahon
14:29
man with the power of mean
14:32
mcginn ah super
14:33
or for
14:37
and i think you know this is probably the shortest
14:39
we've ever done a segment like this so i think
14:41
congratulations to us we did as
14:48
okay guys
14:50
we are ready let's talk
14:52
about the deep dark is
14:54
scary world
14:56
a video games and okay
14:58
you know they are scary
15:00
to me because i am i get
15:02
so addicted to them that it is a
15:04
problem but which is a good segue
15:07
because i before we get into
15:09
the video games itself video want to learn
15:11
princess like what is your background
15:13
with video games are you games gay marriage you have
15:15

15:27
wall it is i'm
15:29
on it is have to posers from fire
15:31
emblem three houses with it'll
15:34
guard prominently featured it'll love
15:36
video games i'm always reluctant to call
15:38
myself reluctant gamer because i like to
15:40
play the same kind of games i'll always
15:42
play pokemon every edition every
15:44
time every love turn based
15:46
rpg so i love like final fantasy tactics
15:49
advance tactics love like the fire emblem
15:51

15:53
i basically love strategy games i love anything
15:55
writing like pause think and
15:57
i've slowly gone into dungeon crawlers like
15:59
some the i got them in attendance switch
16:02
and i'm also having a lot more friends
16:04
who are into games i like love hades
16:06
i literally my
16:09
wrists turned into like a noodle because
16:11
i was describing through it so
16:13
i could unlock things so much that game
16:15
was is brilliant and i've
16:18
been playing more to raider
16:20
i've been playing more on
16:23
death lube thought of war i've
16:25
been really engaging now as an adult
16:27
consumer of games really into
16:29
the storytelling aspects of it
16:31
know for me it's like a sorry offers as
16:33
i i just want this distraction where i can just go
16:35
into well and be fully immersed in debt
16:38
places for like
16:40
thousand years ray and now i
16:42
really do like playing a game
16:44
that is taking me on a world building
16:47
journey and i get
16:49
to do it with this little person i
16:51
get to control so i love blaze i've
16:53
also been an entire summer playing
16:55
the sims so that that's my
16:57
origin story as it's pokey mon
16:59
and than everything else gotta catch em all
17:02
are you like a completion s
17:04
or do you like to just sort
17:06
of explorer do your own thing like
17:08
you need to get
17:10
everything to a hundred and then you like to play again
17:13
or how do you like to play games i games not
17:15
am complicitous which is probably my big
17:17
as big as like i as i
17:19
am about to win season i don't
17:22
i usually stop playing i like to live
17:24
on the lease , part
17:26
of the reason why i like three houses so much
17:29
as because like there was so much more to do
17:32
after you completed a
17:34
game like the epa play the other two houses
17:36
there are houses i see he did you
17:38
unlock all the supports all so i like win
17:40
a game you so many
17:43
avenues to keep enjoying it after you
17:45
for is the main game which is
17:47
which is what you think i am trying to work
17:49
on being a completion ist i'm currently
17:52
trying to complete miles morales
17:54
madhavan
17:56
very hard to sit sit sit you
17:58
just don't want to end
17:59
i don't i want to keep in i
18:02
see i want to keep living that experience
18:04
and i think there's a part of me the like
18:06
frugal part of me that's like all if i'm still playing
18:08
and then with i'm still getting my money's worth out
18:11
of it you know and almost as if i stop
18:13
playing and i'm like well done with that sixty
18:15
nine ninety nine assists assigned
18:18
to the next on so any easier and feel
18:20
decided that i that i'm still getting
18:22
money out of this this purchase
18:25

a loyal nintendo playstation
19:15
person god and about
19:17
you being so for
19:19
me i i'm
19:21
a voice actor so i have been
19:23
lucky enough to actually like voice and characters
19:26
in video games and fielding
19:28
voice acting is just on
19:31
, level like all have
19:33
so much respect for these
19:35
voice actors because not only
19:37
are you acting the stories
19:39
but then you have to make like playing
19:42
the game believable speakers
19:44
is it's like you need to put in
19:47
this insane physical effort
19:49
and make it feel like you're
19:51
in battle because the voices is
19:53
what's like bringing this whole game to live
19:55
in conveying like
19:57
the feeling real to the person
19:59
as playing
19:59
though it's so difficult
20:02
you have to be able to die many
20:04
different ways it's like okay us to die
20:07
falling off a cliff now you're dying getting
20:09
says has his all sound different
20:11
so it's like us and ten different ways of dying
20:13
that sound different you have to have all
20:15
these different ways of doing efforts it's
20:19
, a specific skill and the people
20:21
that are good at it or so good
20:23
at it and i just i i bow
20:25
down on but personally
20:27
for me with video games themselves i
20:31
, , say about is lesley
20:33
by myself because by
20:36
myself get addicted in
20:39
a way that is so destructive
20:41
to not only myself but every
20:44
person around me like i cannot
20:46
be a productive member of society
20:48
and play video games and i completely
20:51
way my mother for this because
20:54
growing up i was a playstation
20:56
kids are we had a played yes in that me
20:58
or my sister were obsessed with it we
21:00
played it constantly i
21:02
love to the crash bandicoot games like
21:04
especially like crash team racing by
21:07
the reason why i blame my mother for my
21:09
video game addiction is because she
21:12
did not buy us a memory
21:14
card we didn't own a memory
21:16
card so the only way
21:18
that we could finish the game is he would
21:21
have to play at all in one sitting
21:23
so abbey and minuses undergrad what
21:27
, would do is he would wake up
21:29
early and the whole day
21:31
we would spend playing this game because
21:33
we would wanna beat it and we would try to get as far
21:35
as we code code he was
21:37
so unhealthy because now in
21:39
my brain i just like whenever i play video
21:41
games are like oh well i just have to keep playing
21:44
until it's complete and
21:47
now nowadays there's even more
21:49
this more and more hours that you need to
21:51
put into a game and so
21:53
it says it does not work for me i can
21:56
play games if it's like a multi player
21:58
if a multi play with other people i also
22:00
love watching people play video games
22:03
i like watching different people's twitch channel
22:05
of joe my husband which i'm
22:07
sorry i'm going to mention him but like almost
22:09
every podcast episode because i'm just so
22:12
and love it and it's this essay and in
22:14
we both love nerdy things okay this is the reason
22:16
i married him but he loves
22:19
video games he loves it it's it's
22:21
, the point where we have like
22:24
almost every system he is a sledge
22:26
we have an icebox we have a playstation we have
22:28
everything and we will continue to get every day
22:30
because that sort of his release
22:32
you know he doesn't work in anyplace video games but
22:36
i love watching him play him really do
22:38
like it's one of those things where
22:40
a lot of people didn't understand
22:43
like was why would you watch
22:45
someone play someone twitch side was just play
22:47
it yourself and it's yourself and satisfying
22:50
to watch someone i'll play specially so glad
22:52
i mean that you have another level but
22:54
it's also really cool to watch because
22:57
video games are so
22:59
personal because you
23:02
get to decide that like the journey
23:04
that your character's going on and what you wanted
23:06
to realize and it's cool
23:09
to watch other people play because not only
23:12
will sometimes they choose something that you would
23:14
not do so you're like oh
23:16
this is cool water wonder what they're going to do
23:18
but then also you get to let go on
23:20
his journey with them so it feels
23:22
like the collective experience
23:24
even though you know it's really personal
23:27
the them and that's why like with these gamers
23:29
at why people feel so connected to them
23:32
because they're going on these personal experiences
23:34
with them because video games are so personal
23:36
so yeah i like watching people play i'll
23:39
play like if it's a fine multiplayer game
23:41
with people that's ten i'll play by
23:43
myself it is sad
23:46
i love watching you play and what you said it said shoe
23:48
i have a there's a friend of mine named henry rosenberg
23:50
him he like does like the video as
23:52
a what i love about how he talks about
23:55
video games and watching him play as that he plays
23:57
totally different than i would see you know like
23:59
for the like there's his game cosplay
24:01
the spire and my partner always
24:04
plays the point is index
24:06
because stats house he likes to do it
24:09
with me i like to play the weird
24:11
one cared to that has this deck that like build
24:14
with all orbs and it's like it's two
24:16
completely different mindsets you know when i
24:18
played when i played tomb raider like the
24:20
new tomb raider games i'm just doing it's
24:22
like and merch people from a distance moment
24:25
you want me to low by
24:28
someone with a gun close-up i'm like stay
24:30
away from me like that's what that's like that group is
24:32
so hard for me because they want to do both and i'm like
24:34
but i want to just do the ones
24:37
yeah like the idea of my way
24:40
and , my lifestyle right for me
24:42
the amelie combat i'm trying
24:44
to shoot arrows nine not
24:47
trying to stab us
24:50
so yeah it's always interesting to see how like that's what makes
24:52
elden ring so cool is because everyone
24:54
can build their own thing and build a totally different
24:56
way me my dumb
24:58
self i'm sitting here like i wanna
25:01
be a magic user do
25:03
a fight with magic know i've always starts
25:06
on everyone else's like you have
25:08
to buddhist so that your only ever doing
25:10
magic and i'm like
25:11
ha no but i'm on a
25:14
bad say that's it says man i
25:17
wish i had sambo specific sambo specific
25:19
that i love when people play games
25:21
and chaotic ways it's my favorite
25:23
like i remember as a kid playing halo
25:26
like going to my friend's house and playing halo
25:28
and my favorite thing would be to like
25:30
jump in this invisibility saying and
25:32
just be invisible run
25:34
around in a circle and just two people
25:37
and it's like you the and it was so hard for
25:39
people to get me that like i
25:41
would end up winning but it is because
25:43
i was so chaotic that they couldn't like see
25:45
what i was doing joe and thing that he
25:47
likes to do when he plays call of duty instead
25:49
of like shooting a hillbilly nice guys
25:52
let's play nice guys and i'll just say
25:53
the
25:56
okay audited super that everyone
25:59
like play the reward why is there
26:01
was a says
26:03
that
26:05
pretty good lawyer be like weird
26:07
and do something different and stick as most
26:09
people just do the obvious thing
26:11
so i like that princes i think you should keep playing
26:13
the way that you like
26:15
yeah i guess i just love playing it in
26:17
my own way and doing and with my
26:20
own energy and
26:22
like that's a mix of fun that's why
26:24
his leg tactics games are engaging
26:26
to me like that really into
26:28
says civilization
26:30
while i would when it was released on the switch because
26:33
i was just like every time was
26:35
a new seeing any was
26:37
always evolving and changing and
26:39
i think that's what makes playing a video
26:41
game so interesting is that like your choices
26:43
do have consequences that you
26:46
hospital and you have to eventually learn
26:48
how to play smarter like it's a nimble
26:50
know really great exercise
26:53
any you trying to crack
26:55
whatever puzzle the game is putting in front of
26:57
you and i think that's what makes him so engaging
26:59
and that's why for so long it's
27:02
been hard to see how that translates
27:04
into a so but we have
27:06
been fully seeing that come to
27:08
fruition right yeah it's
27:11
really interesting to see these
27:13
sort of like video games become
27:16
adaptations because a lot
27:18
of times people have
27:20
such have love for these franchises
27:22
for these games already and
27:25
so there's and lot of pressure there but
27:27
my favorite kinds are
27:29
on shows like are keen are compared
27:31
so that don't have
27:34
like the video game itself doesn't have
27:36
a lot of war or backstory
27:38
to add some then when you can add
27:40
that in and then after
27:43
knowing that if you go back and play
27:45
the game it's like you can play
27:47
that game with fresh eyes
27:50
and just with this new love
27:52
for these characters because you know so much
27:54
more about than that it does he
27:56
comes as whole new experience so i
27:59
i think it's really and i think that
28:01
video games said you know there
28:03
should be more adaptations of video games into
28:06
movies and tv shows because
28:08
it makes sense because so many
28:10
of these games like the storytelling
28:13
is so glad it's yeah it's
28:15
good as this is my favorite
28:17
example as castle vein yeah because no
28:20
names are very like they're fun they're
28:22
gods we love it but the way they
28:24
turn that series into
28:26
a motion all access them saw
28:29
like vampire gothic crisis
28:31
leggings and i feel i was the greatest romantic
28:33
heroes of all i am with an icon
28:36
a gay icon allah card you know all
28:38
of that was is so well done
28:41
and like and had where i like the most optimistic
28:43
happy endings i've ever seen
28:45
him the an amazing was gorgeous edges
28:47
new liked this story holds
28:50
up the story is good well
28:52
as take that story and flush
28:54
it out and make it interesting make these
28:56
bring these characters and the game to live
28:58
really like give the little caesars but
29:00
don't get so caught up with trying to recreate
29:03
every single ray and the game
29:05
because you can see a completely different
29:08
media but you have the exact therefore
29:10
fi the started out with three when i think tassels
29:12
amia and the wizard to does that
29:15
really well because the winter is
29:17
full of mythology and yeah well
29:19
as sub which mix it up the went to become
29:22
like a game of thrones type fantasy
29:24
series times the
29:26
prosecuted from book so it's like it's a you know it's
29:28
already able to get down into so
29:30
many different ways of telling a story
29:32
and i love that
29:34
oh my gosh i completely agree
29:36
it's i think we're so lucky
29:38
to be has to be
29:40
alive to be alive in this time right
29:42
now where muscle
29:46
right now video games are
29:48
such an evolving art
29:51
form that just thinking about
29:53
the games that i played back
29:55
when i was a kid and the games that are available
29:57
now and how technology has like she
29:59
damn and made them even more immersive
30:02
even more realistic even more
30:04
like incredible that i can't
30:06
even imagine like in the next like
30:09
thirty years what's gonna happen to
30:11
video game so it's like it's ,
30:13
cool to see that change and
30:16
to me like with video games
30:19
you're basically bringing together three
30:21
worlds you're bringing together like
30:23
division of the game that's like made by
30:25
the creator and then you have the game
30:27
itself which is like bringing
30:29
that vision to live with like the voice acting
30:31
the enemy sense and then you have then player
30:34
of the game who is like following the story
30:37
that like the creator made
30:39
split it's like basis of their own choices
30:41
like we were saying so it's like becomes more personal
30:44
so it's like these shows are
30:46
just teachings that formula and then
30:48
adding onto it's making it even
30:50
more rich making the world building the
30:52
the whole experience so
30:55
much cooler because then you
30:58
can interact with it interact different mediums
31:00
in different ways in love when that happens with
31:02
any franchise like i'm always
31:04
like the type of person where i'm not a
31:07
big ten and person ten and hey let's
31:09
try this out let's have fun doing this
31:11
because if you love something and
31:13
as a certain way like if you are obsessed
31:15
with the video games go
31:17
back and play that game by game has not changed
31:20
and , like and you can still enjoy
31:23
the game and have fun
31:25
and enjoy something else in
31:27
that realm it doesn't have to ruin
31:29
that for like a for me
31:31
it never ruins it for some people i know that's
31:34
a problem but i wish that people would
31:36
let that go he does then
31:38
it's it's so much more fun when you can just
31:40
slides explorer the imagination
31:43
a little bit bit things have
31:45
to evolve i mean like our things
31:47
can't say stagnant as a medium of thousand
31:49
t v your games would not be getting better
31:52
you know even though it's different for
31:54
me like when the new it's mortal kombat
31:56
came out i loved it so much
31:58
the storytelling was bored
31:59
the an amazing was great
32:02
the character design was really good ah
32:05
there was some voice acting issues but like
32:07
it was a solid games and seeing the will be like
32:09
they're not second cd more i'm like mean
32:11
grow up variety of that
32:13
are meant to be either
32:15
violent video games and that was i
32:17
love yeah i'd easier biggest concern
32:20
are that cities i we are you
32:22
even gaining insight there
32:26
are you could find animated boobs everywhere
32:29
yeah not hard not an accomplishment
32:31
oh yikes creating a release
32:34
league game where there are steaks
32:37
where there's character arcs like that's the
32:39
core of the game yeah and when you
32:41
reduce it is as these weird blue
32:43
conversations it really does a disservice
32:46
to the media it does a disservice to everyone who
32:48
plays the game life because it's so much
32:50
more than that going on for sir
32:52
and it's like you can still find the boobs
32:54
they will exist the fan art will exist
32:57
and uk their yeah exactly so
32:59
it's yeah that really annoys me to
33:01
and people just get caught up in these little things
33:03
or when disorders the
33:06
sands of these games get
33:08
so protective and so
33:10
they're like the it has to be seen in this way i
33:12
think it's because videogame still so personal
33:14
to than that they're like it this is going
33:16
to be created into another are form it needs to
33:18
be exactly how i pictured it and exactly
33:21
how i played it in all my favorite parts have to be
33:23
in it and it's not that it sucks and
33:25
it's like ah don't you see
33:27
that like every person has a different experience
33:29
with every game that it's like even if it's
33:31
not your perfect visit it might be someone elses
33:34
perfect vision for it so that
33:36
is an eighth me as well where i wish
33:39
people would be a little more open self
33:41
amended i guess that be special because like
33:44
there are nepotism their a valid criticisms
33:46
roma hum the to me like a nit
33:48
pickers like if of color is deaf france
33:51
f like you're upset about race bedding
33:53
than you just also race as like those are like
33:55
as smart as you're like i have a bad see
33:57
should have been that we are that that like
34:00
right things are nitpick susan and
34:02
like we all have that
34:04
the actual criticism is like say something
34:06
was more setting was queer
34:09
the gave and it got caught when it at it that a
34:11
dazzling the worth discussing rather than
34:13
it's worth didn't like why do they make
34:15
a choice to d canonized this
34:17
thing see and i feel like because
34:20
we always are having like
34:22
the pedantic conversations
34:24
we can actually discuss like how
34:27
can we adapt of video games
34:30
in the modern era to be
34:32
more content is like to me there for example
34:35
mom to later is already like
34:37
kind of inherently problematic
34:39
franchise as it is like this british women
34:41
going around other people can just taken a shit
34:43
right and like the games have tried
34:45
to really deal with that especially
34:47
the recent was it's like and now it has been
34:50
work to another adaptations how are
34:52
they not it has that same material
34:54
would make it work for a narrative
34:57
and that's gonna be the journey because you have
34:59
to go with that concept forwards
35:02
and also i think and you could it i think
35:04
you'll agree this is only lox a watch video
35:06
games since moving out the part
35:08
that is worth watching re not
35:10
just that gaming mechanics yes
35:13
yes to be real iran's
35:16
arcane is one of the best animated
35:18
things i've ever seen
35:21
like ever i like it was
35:23
sometimes animation
35:26
just blows me away like
35:28
away into the spider verse avatar
35:31
the lion king the freakin looney
35:33
tunes like enemies in can be so iconic
35:36
and to me
35:37
this show worldwide
35:39
was iconic in itself even
35:41
outside of the video game because i had
35:43
never played league of legends i've never
35:46
watched league of legends i like i
35:48
knew nothing about it but i
35:50
watching arcane they did such a good
35:52
job of creating
35:54
this world and taking like
35:57
taking this game that is just as
35:59
site game and turning it into
36:01
this there's a masterpiece
36:04
it's i was so of
36:06
so blown away the animation style
36:08
was so the words as
36:10
and the world building the
36:12
story telling the character development the music like i
36:15
could go on and on about how i
36:17
think this is one of the most perfect
36:20
animated ring adverts
36:23
but then so it's like okay we have
36:25
this little thing that is perfect in itself
36:27
and , there's a game like oh yeah there's
36:29
other day that exists
36:32
and this one this feel is
36:34
very different than something like the witcher
36:37
were what's your
36:39
again and again i know this because
36:41
i've had conversations with my friend brizzi
36:43
would go with people that a play these games i've not
36:45
played his games but the
36:47
witcher the with your show
36:49
in the witcher game feel like
36:52
they're in they're same world and the same
36:54
universe like after you play
36:56
like as he played with your inbox the witcher is
36:58
like a connection that way arcane
37:01
a d sort of took
37:03
the thing
37:03
they do completely different directions
37:06
and i think it shows that you can
37:08
also do that like you don't have
37:10
to stay into the same
37:13
vibe that the game always
37:15
gave us because i think that is something
37:18
that everybody wants to see but i think this is
37:20
sort of prove that you
37:22
can take a game that people
37:24
are used to playing and completely
37:26
flip it around and turn it into something
37:29
different and or new are exciting and
37:31
then if you go back and play that game it makes
37:34
it even cooler so i it's just like to
37:36
two different ways of at of like adapting
37:38
it in this way so i
37:40
would do you
37:42
you agree or do you think that arcane
37:44
like have you play league of legends that all have
37:46
you ever played i played a little bad arm
37:48
and i and i was familiar with the drink
37:50
from the like i kept seeing her lungs i
37:53
really you know sometimes when you
37:55
do up for equal next year
37:57
as we know from our daddy and again you
37:59
know now as we now have from
38:01
that generation on it can really
38:03
be hit or miss by a good job
38:06
of doing that which inks while
38:08
also making like it takes nothing
38:10
away from riley's
38:12
anything to you something i'm a little bit
38:14
more familiar with capella you
38:17
know it's the game is really
38:19
hard it's hard it's
38:21
it's it's i've been playing it a little bit with
38:24
my partner and it's it's very challenging
38:26
and like when i first was so
38:28
i was leg but there's a silver children like
38:31
can't be the games and
38:33
i think that's and in a lot of people
38:36
like another with some light discussions
38:38
discourse about the show because
38:40
it was a more you know lighter
38:43
fluffier meal then the game
38:45
but light of course it is like three game
38:49
how loud me where and lay ahead as
38:51
the show and that same way and
38:53
it's necessary and i'm anything about
38:55
you i know so many little kids
38:58
my friend brian his son loves
39:00
cop had and was talking to me all
39:02
about it's like that audience loves
39:04
it and he also enjoys
39:06
playing the game right a both complement
39:09
each other you know it's what we don't
39:11
want to be doing an olive poke him on the
39:13
show yeah i put play the game
39:15
and i would be so angry when the rules it
39:17
matches but i still knew that
39:19
they were two separate things they were you feel
39:21
like i think that audiences can
39:24
live in both worlds it's about
39:26
how willing the yard to accept that
39:28
and there are games that have
39:30
such an intense storytelling
39:32
aspects so with those games i
39:35
i get that if you're watching
39:37
a show you want to experience
39:39
the story again because that's why
39:41
you play the game is for the story rather
39:43
than like you know compared or
39:45
arcane it's like those games you're not really
39:47
there for the story you're there to just like
39:50
experience the characters and have fun and like
39:52
you know side people and with
39:54
that then that then the creator
39:57
more more room to do things
39:59
but
39:59
like the last of us or something like
40:02
those those games at
40:04
like have such is
40:06
such intense storytelling
40:09
vibes that if you if you went
40:11
too far also that like it's almost
40:13
an insult to the game they're
40:17
built that way and i think natalie every game
40:19
say and that's what makes resident evil so interesting
40:21
a man's eyes because it is
40:23
this ever evolving ever changing
40:26
narrative and just
40:28
a by you know capitalism is the real
40:30
enemy but also zombies
40:32
kind of vibe and everything you know like that
40:36
it's a series where you can keep explaining
40:38
how did we get here and moving back and
40:40
forth through time kind of like what the new netflix
40:42
series is doing and i think
40:45
oh that's an interesting way like remembering the
40:47
human element because my
40:50
friend has kind of help me realize video
40:52
games are about tapping into
40:54
your humanity and transposing
40:57
it onto its paradise said his
40:59
you but doesn't actually exist fly
41:01
and taking into account what they might
41:03
feel as a character versus
41:05
what you feel as the player going
41:08
new their journeys and that's an
41:10
experience that ledge you
41:12
don't have with like a book you
41:14
know you can't is where the bug yeah
41:16
but you can play the game and i sense
41:18
that
41:20
when
41:21
creator is can tap into the humanity
41:23
of the game that's when you get the best
41:25
stuff and that's why i think this news resident
41:28
evil looks an interesting because taking the
41:30
main villain per ricky putting him
41:32
in his kids at the forefront of it i'm like okay
41:34
this is going to be interesting how is it going to tie
41:36
into the main universe how are they
41:39
nice because going to react to this and this and this and
41:41
all that is something that
41:43
you can get now and this adaptation
41:45
that you couldn't get into the game
41:46
the
41:50
i have one last question for you my darling
41:53
cohost yeah up of what

42:35
scream but it's that is one
42:37
of the most fun things to do
42:39
is to just go full out
42:42
and just be like okay and need to like prep
42:44
everybody and they like turned down the game and
42:46
