Hello and welcome to I

0:02

don't know what episode. Dang it. Three

0:04

seventy one. Three seventy one. Thanks, Fran. We know

0:06

he's keeping count. How's

0:11

everybody doing tonight? Good.

0:14

Yeah. Good. You sounded stressed

0:17

out. I jumped into the lobby that you and

0:19

Mylon were in. You guys were were you playing

0:21

hell divers? Is that right? We were playing hell

0:23

divers. You sounded a little bit stressed out. I

0:25

was like, hi. You're like, hi. Yeah.

0:31

She's going to dive. They're playing

0:33

hell divers with with Mylon and

0:38

just lots of screaming,

0:40

diving, chucking orbital

0:42

strikes, running away. Yeah,

0:45

it's it's been a lot of fun. How

0:47

far do you have to run away when you chuck an

0:49

orbital strike? Not

0:51

too far. No, Mike,

0:53

if you get a little bit of distance, you'll

0:56

be OK. But you really relying on the

0:58

accuracy of that orbital strike. Yes,

1:01

yes, it is a precision precision

1:03

strike. Yeah,

1:07

well, we can talk about it more for sure. OK.

1:11

Lego, how are you? It's been a while. I

1:13

know. Yeah. My house was struck

1:15

by no lightning close by and my

1:17

router did die. Is it a horrible?

1:19

We're good. Yeah. What's

1:22

weird is this is the second time that

1:24

something like this happened. The last time it

1:26

like fried our AC unit and like our

1:28

AC people helped us like write it off

1:31

is like really a lightning incident to the

1:33

insurance company. So we like got it all

1:35

sorted out. But yeah, I'm like, do I

1:38

need to do something to my house to

1:40

like keep this from happening? I don't know

1:42

enough about lighting. Yeah. Yeah,

1:45

it seems like there's something you could do, right? Like

1:47

maybe just put like a lightning rod on your neighbor's

1:49

house. Yeah. Oh, speaking

1:51

of my dad is my

1:53

neighbor. And he actually has

1:55

a lightning rod on your house.

1:58

No, he has one on his house. I don't understand. why didn't

2:00

hit his house because he has a He

2:03

put up my dad is like

2:05

the nerdiest tech dude ever and

2:07

he's like, okay I want to

2:09

receive Wi-Fi from this place down

2:11

the road. So he put on

2:13

top of his normal home Like

2:17

this giant radio looking

2:19

tower thing like with an antenna

2:21

pointed a certain direction. I'm like

2:23

how did Like

2:25

how did the rest of the people living in that house

2:28

let that happen? Much interestingly heard that a 200-foot radio tower

2:30

was stolen from a radio station And

2:37

wouldn't I wouldn't put it past them I

2:40

want to know what they stole it for Beth

2:43

Scott Look

2:48

at ball that copper We

2:50

got a cast our space All

2:56

right, all right, yeah good There's got to

2:58

be a way to like protect your house

3:00

from lightning like if you're repeatedly getting struck

3:02

There's got to be something you can yeah

3:04

you install that 200 foot antenna in your

3:06

neighbor's house Yeah, we'll break that first. That's

3:08

probably what it was for. I

3:10

just need to make that antenna taller I that's

3:13

what I got to get out there and yeah Get it

3:15

up about jack it up a hundred foot radio Sticking

3:18

on top of their roof Honestly,

3:20

if someone put something on top of my roof, I

3:22

probably would never notice No, little Mary

3:24

Poppins for installation. I don't look up there very

3:27

often Once

3:31

a year I look up on the roof when

3:34

it snows to see how well the insulation is

3:36

doing like if it's yeah Mm-hmm melting fast because

3:38

I need to like rethink the insulation if it's

3:40

not melting fast, but I'm like, okay. I'm okay

3:43

Yeah, I forgot to think about that.

3:45

I moved away before I had like I don't

3:48

have homeownership out here either But that's

3:51

like an element of having homeownership in this

3:53

snow, right? You're worried about no melting on

3:56

your roof It's like it's one of your

3:58

yearly things you think about While

4:00

the look at the trees and you're like. That.

4:03

And full on. Yeah like. I

4:05

grew up in this. I worried about shoveling it. Oh

4:08

yeah, the most is it melting on the roof. As

4:10

like the last day I was thinking about one year

4:12

I had to buy a story. Guess it would. Snow

4:14

rake is. No.

4:17

Know it sucks So this is

4:19

like a really long for. with

4:22

like i had to call it a rake

4:25

is a little bit weird but what you

4:27

do is it's got like khanna like a

4:29

flat adds a that it kind of beds

4:31

and toward yeah right and wouldn't do is

4:34

you push it up on your roof and

4:36

of that angled side pulls the snow down

4:38

on top your head and it's to be

4:40

used with are so much snow that your

4:43

little worried that your ribs going to game

4:45

it moran so. That

4:47

sucks. I

4:49

mean especially if you have like a two

4:52

story house where you have a do or

4:54

it's ah many get on a ladder to

4:56

use your snow rake or though they are

4:58

for the poll is long enough that you

5:01

stand on the gravity so get the snow

5:03

covered doubt area hand I was also that

5:05

same year I was also hanging outside the

5:07

second story windows. Bang. And it

5:09

like icicles that will exist that around

5:12

our offer of for homelessness for listeners

5:14

The pilot or know god that it's

5:16

is eight inches in diameter. There are

5:18

huge. Overdrive.

5:21

house minute done That somebody shouted

5:23

infer mean that should be the

5:25

name of the states is ugly

5:28

when we get one smell rake

5:30

know for our attention as good

5:32

at him like that. Our. Don't

5:37

wanna do destiny stuff first.

5:39

Cause there's actually something that will go up

5:41

there, are there? So

5:44

I'm They start with game to give which

5:46

is of course is there is there charity

5:48

that they do every year and this time

5:51

they raise three point one million. While.

5:53

For more. Than sixty five thousand

5:55

donations representing a hundred and

5:58

twenty countries. Wow. Guardians

6:01

redeemed over 220,000

6:03

emblems. That's amazing.

6:06

Yeah that's that is amazing. That's

6:08

big dollars you know that's a lot of money. 3.1

6:11

is a lot yeah. Yeah

6:13

that's great. And

6:15

they did a really cool thing where which

6:18

I need to watch back but they had

6:20

people live in the studio doing hot ones

6:22

and the Drifter voice actor was

6:24

one of them that was there. Yes.

6:29

That's amazing. Yep.

6:32

Wow. So I need to rewatch that.

6:34

I caught little clips here and there when I

6:36

was you know going throughout the day but yeah

6:38

I need to rewatch all of it. Yeah I

6:41

need to do that. That remains the

6:43

coolest part of the Destiny community. It

6:45

is. Like how we can come together to do that.

6:47

Yeah. 100% yeah no matter

6:50

what Destiny and charity is always just

6:52

like crazy. Yeah.

6:56

There is a pretty decent

6:58

weapon rewards update coming. So

7:01

as we know this season is very

7:04

long because the final shape got delayed.

7:06

Thank God it got delayed which we'll

7:08

talk about later. Oh thanks Jesus. But

7:12

because it got delayed they are

7:14

actually trying to add some stuff

7:16

throughout this period of time which

7:19

is very cool. So starting in

7:21

an update in early March they're

7:23

gonna be adding new and returning

7:25

weapons to trials iron banner and

7:27

nightfalls. Very cool. So these

7:29

weapons are just gonna be additions to the current

7:31

pool because normally when we get a new season

7:34

they will get rid of some weapons they'll introduce

7:36

some weapons but this one they're keeping all of

7:38

the current ones that are here and

7:40

they're adding more to it. So you're just gonna have more to

7:42

kind of go for if it's something that you want. So

7:45

trials of Osiris is getting

7:48

a brand new scout rifle which

7:50

is an aggressive frame stasis

7:54

and it's gonna have a lacrity

7:57

one quiet moment and tax balanced

8:00

Doc as its origin traits an

8:02

aggressive is those basically

8:06

Just the heavy-duty exotic Scout

8:08

rifle. I can't I blank it on the name

8:10

right now the the text mechanical one empty. Yes,

8:13

that man sale. There we go I never

8:15

use it. So yeah, it's not my style,

8:18

but it's cool to have another way through

8:21

Yeah, it's cool to have a another one.

8:23

That's a primary that is a stasis Yeah,

8:26

cool. It is cool. But I mean

8:28

more excited about the next one. We

8:30

are getting the reprised summoner

8:33

auto rifle and This

8:36

is adaptive frame primary

8:38

ammo solar and it

8:40

has a lack of the one quiet moment and a

8:42

wild card for origin traits That's

8:48

when you're the last remaining fire team member you

8:50

have like improved stats it's it's a lot

8:52

of stats It's like 20 range

8:55

plus 20 aim assist is just

8:57

tons of stuff also

9:00

My chat was already My

9:03

community was speculating that the

9:05

summoner could very well come back With

9:08

the new onslaught perk that has been very popular

9:10

on auto rifles. That would be pretty cool Onslaughter

9:13

ny all working together. Sounds

9:15

fun. That would be cool very

9:18

nice For

9:20

I am banner. We are getting

9:23

a new of the boar grenade

9:25

launcher. This is a special ammo

9:27

waveframe strand Grenade

9:30

launcher so they say here

9:32

that this would be the only obtainable

9:34

strand waveframe breach loaded grenade launcher. So

9:38

That's pretty dope on the center. Yeah. Yeah

9:41

big fan of waveframe and then

9:43

strand. Yeah Yeah,

9:46

that is one that I would what it do.

9:48

It's just gonna throw the little Worms

9:51

threadlings. Yeah, would that be

9:53

would that what's gonna happen? They're just gonna be like a

9:55

wave of threadlings Oh, they could

9:58

give it a What? Then

10:00

you splice no splice for like

10:02

that could be interesting Yeah,

10:05

the severing effect if it had

10:08

hatchling and you shot it and it killed

10:10

multiple things Could

10:12

it create multiple? Threatlings it's

10:15

not I don't see why not right hatchling You

10:17

need precision kills to like for sure get the

10:19

hatchling and it's a way frame So you have

10:21

to kill multiple things to even get one. Well,

10:24

I was thinking of the what's the artifact perk

10:26

right now? But that's what I was thinking. I

10:28

think the current. Yeah, there's an artifact perk for

10:30

throttling right now, isn't there? Oh,

10:32

look it up. But yeah, that's any I

10:34

think potentially I think you're right And then

10:37

also there's the unraveling rounds you can get

10:39

for it, too. So that'd be cool Yeah,

10:41

you can do that and twice brings up something I

10:43

was gonna bring up is you can use it with

10:45

warlock Consume your shackle grenade

10:48

and it can suspend all the enemies in a

10:50

line. Oh That's pretty fun

10:53

Yeah, that could be pretty fun That's

10:56

the thing when there's a strand weapon I

10:58

get excited because I like how it goes

11:00

into all of the builds and it seems

11:02

To be it's always like I'm always

11:04

really having a lot of fun

11:06

when I'm using strand incorporated stuff

11:08

So strand stuff gets me excited. I

11:12

did I just a little I

11:14

didn't get to say how anything was

11:17

going on Destiny wise and I did

11:19

do something absolutely terrible the past few

11:21

weeks and that is You

11:23

know due to all the thread lean

11:25

stuff like it's just thread lean like,

11:27

you know, there's decoys everywhere There's yeah

11:30

thread leans everywhere so I decided to

11:32

embrace it and just go all out

11:34

and I use either permeability on your

11:36

energy weapon or tessellation

11:38

they both let you get strand energy

11:40

in that slot and then so you have

11:42

like triple strand and then you use one

11:45

of the raid weapons that has

11:48

a pair of causal on

11:50

it which any Like strand ability

11:52

at all will give that weapon a 20%

11:55

buff no matter what so a thread lean hits

11:57

them the energy weapon with them, whatever it is,

11:59

and so It was just mayhem just so many

12:01

threadlings like like Fran was saying that that perk

12:03

of just threadlings coming out Even when I got a

12:05

kill and then that threadling would kill someone that

12:07

I'd have the 20% up. It was Ridiculous.

12:11

I didn't share a video on it. I was like, I don't know

12:13

if I want to You

12:17

just share like a clip on Twitter or something It's

12:20

a smaller version. Yeah, I think

12:22

I was gonna look it up I

12:24

think maybe it's called horde shuttle if

12:27

it's damaging unraveled targets with a weapon

12:29

will occasionally Bond a threat link and

12:31

there you go. Everything's always unraveling once you pick up

12:33

an orb. So yeah Reprized

12:39

for iron banner we are getting the

12:41

multi Mac machine gun back submachine gun

12:43

back So this is

12:46

kinetic. It was the

12:48

most popular one for a long time there

12:50

Mm-hmm. Yeah, the one I

12:53

did the the rumble thing with I had

12:55

Cartesian with me But multi

12:57

mock just because the lightweight frame run around

12:59

faster. It was so good. Yeah, it

13:01

is a lightweight frame For

13:04

nightfall we are getting a new

13:06

grenade launcher called wild style. It

13:08

is a double fire frame special

13:10

ammo solar origin

13:13

traits stunning recovery vanguards vindiction

13:15

and text balanced stock Note

13:19

this is only the second double

13:21

fire frame breach loaded grenade launcher

13:23

in the game period I'm

13:25

kind of excited about that. They're fun. Honestly,

13:27

a lot of the text my

13:29

text Mackinac are very fun

13:32

weapons also Chat

13:35

has been really good about reminding me recently of

13:37

the comment section that you know The dungeons not

13:39

a lot of people have access to them Like

13:41

not everyone pays that money and the only other

13:43

one of these you can get is in the

13:45

dungeon So a lot of people this is gonna

13:47

be their first time even being able to play

13:49

with this type of weapon one. Yeah Yeah,

13:53

that's true Yeah, I was looking

13:55

into Wilder flight looks like it's

13:57

the double fire Fun

14:00

Fun Shoot! Arm

14:03

And then the were also

14:05

getting a new Nightfall sword.

14:09

Which is called the Slammer Source. It

14:11

is a war thing, new frame and

14:13

it is states This. So

14:16

they do. You know that this is

14:18

the old only the second face assorted

14:20

the game with the colds, the old

14:22

freight besides the dawning stored and it

14:24

is also the first vortex frame status

14:26

or. Interest. So that they're

14:28

adding some like had weapons here. This is

14:31

like a good addition to the arsenal that

14:33

we have and it's spread across Trials Iron

14:35

Banner in the nightfall. so and really good

14:37

as really happy to see the. And

14:40

I'm imbroglio release schedule to like. It's

14:42

all coming starting March fifth which is

14:44

less than a month away so we

14:46

are too far less. Than then, like

14:48

every week it's adding something new. Yeah,

14:52

I was gonna say we talk about

14:54

that fire team find or so for

14:56

me personally without access to me. I

14:58

set my watch for that March nineteenth

15:00

week seventeen. It looks like for that

15:02

Slammer sword would be potentially a good

15:04

one to go in. Drop far team

15:06

finer. And the get into

15:08

a higher you know level activity without

15:11

matchmaking normally in in. Up

15:13

your chances to get that pretty mail fully.

15:19

Armed and then they just say they just give you

15:21

like and season of the wish weapon pools What the

15:23

weapon pools are gonna be when all of that of

15:26

that is our it is quite a few weapons so

15:28

if you want to see all the weapons you can

15:30

go and read it but it's what we currently have

15:32

plus the ones that we just set of being added.

15:36

Ah, And then it says upcoming

15:38

loot pools. So they said that to

15:40

account for the length of the season

15:42

and upcoming episodes will be longer than

15:44

previous destiny. Two seasons were increasing the

15:46

Nightfall weapon food that Eight Weapon is.

15:49

The plan is for travel size to

15:51

return to six weapons in rotation to

15:53

allow it to dept weapons the have

15:55

more chances to be featured taking into

15:57

account the week the trials of be

15:59

the. because of iron banner. So

16:02

they give you the whole rotation of all the weapons

16:04

that you're gonna get and it

16:06

says here unrevealed weapon A, unrevealed weapon

16:08

B, summoner, prophet,

16:10

stasis rifle, inside the strand, trace rifle,

16:12

eye of Saul. I kind of want

16:14

all of those. Trials, yeah. I

16:18

don't want all of those. Although I did get a

16:20

really good trace rifle because I spent way too

16:22

long trying to get it. We'll see that

16:24

trace rifle is the best trace rifle I

16:27

have played with. It's really good. It feels

16:29

so good. And I don't really like trace

16:31

rifles and I you start using that thing

16:33

I like oh okay yeah. I'm

16:35

just kidding with all this loot. What's

16:38

your vault at right now? My

16:40

vault? That's the number. $5.99. Just

16:43

one space to be able to transfer

16:45

between characters. See you're optimal. I like

16:47

it. What? I mean if you

16:49

had to guess a range are you like? $5.82. Yeah.

16:52

Exactly. Although

16:55

I haven't played

16:58

since December. I haven't deleted anything

17:00

for two months. You know I'm not

17:02

gonna go off on the whole thing but I

17:05

think you I'm just looking at I'm like all the loot

17:07

sounds great as I always talk about

17:10

gear management though. I'm like I don't want

17:12

to I got a look through and decide.

17:14

Personally I could delete probably like

17:17

200 without even thinking about it. Oh

17:19

you wouldn't even know you wouldn't worry about looking

17:22

at what it is. So you don't worry about

17:24

losing the Wilder flight. It's your only other double

17:26

fire. And you're like I don't really care because

17:28

there's a new one coming. But

17:31

I have so like out

17:33

of 582 things there

17:35

are absolutely a lot that I do

17:38

not need. Me too. But what

17:40

I'm saying is you have to look at

17:42

it therefore it requires time.

17:44

I mean I only have like one of

17:47

the grenade launcher so I just don't do that

17:49

one grenade. Yeah I mean like that's

17:51

the right attitude. I think that it's way

17:53

too optimistic though. And I try to

17:55

remove the stigma of the whole like dad

17:57

needs to get in your vault and like.

18:00

help you grocery shop. And like, dad

18:02

was incredible. And you know,

18:04

you would benefit if he did that. But like, he'd

18:06

be doing the work for you. And

18:08

he'd probably be a bit faster. But he's still going to spend

18:10

an hour. You know, he's still going to

18:12

spend 90 minutes or whatever it is. And like, to me,

18:14

that it's always going to pile back up. And

18:17

I'm really getting out. I'm just waiting for the day. Gear

18:19

management tool in the game that helps like

18:21

refine, you know, you get that new grenade

18:24

launcher and it says, hey, like, whatever

18:26

the tool is at a minimum, it shows me if

18:28

I already have it. But then

18:30

anyway, I can guarantee I went off on it that

18:33

you have probably 20 things that you can

18:35

delete without really looking at anything. You can

18:37

just be like, oh, I do. It's called

18:39

infusion material, which is sitting there because

18:42

you need infusion material for we have

18:44

to go into that. And I'll follow

18:46

more trials. Yes. Yes.

18:50

Yeah. Nightfall trials, you change your build. Now

18:52

you need infusion material. They predicate the whole

18:54

game on just go out and grind for

18:56

some more power. I'm like, are you kidding

18:58

me? I'd rather just. Yeah. My

19:00

only point there was you're right. It's junk. And

19:03

I agree with you. I want to delete it. And that's

19:05

one of the solutions to the vault. We shouldn't have

19:07

infusion materials sitting around. I got like 20 of them

19:09

in there, you know, five slots per thing. And

19:13

my problem is when I got like five of

19:15

a sniper rifle that I know is good. And

19:18

I got to go through them one by one to figure

19:20

out which one is the best one. Yeah.

19:22

I know I want to delete four of them. Oh, yeah. Which

19:25

one do I want to keep? Which one is the best one? I

19:27

got to like compare the all

19:30

this. Yeah. And

19:33

I only bring it up because it is of

19:35

course it's awesome that they're adding all this new

19:37

stuff to the game. Like that is destiny, you

19:40

know, but it does require gear management and it's

19:42

interesting to still be on like we're going on

19:44

year 10 and all

19:47

our vaults are full because like it's we want to

19:49

play the game. You know, I think that's a good

19:51

sign. Right. But

19:54

as they always have to bring up, I'm like, I

19:56

my vault's full. Because that is the very

19:58

last thing I will ever. do because

20:00

I'd rather hop into that nightfall and keep

20:02

grinding you know and but they do they're

20:04

very smart right I always bring up who

20:07

will be the Apple iOS of

20:09

gear management I said I wasn't gonna go off

20:11

but I did but really it's it's keeping me

20:13

from playing the game on March 17th whatever that

20:15

date is it literally keeps me from playing

20:17

the game because I'm like oh I'd

20:20

rather spend this half hour playing this other

20:22

game or doing this other thing or anything

20:24

good point anything but vault made in

20:27

it's not my taxes yeah

20:29

there's a stigma of this stubbornness

20:32

to like no because it

20:34

jet like taxes it's just gonna keep

20:36

coming up so what I want is

20:39

yeah I want turbo of

20:41

it in the game where you like speed

20:43

up my time and like it's a genuine

20:45

need across all these games Diablo suffers from

20:47

it like in Diablo people complain so much

20:49

they added for example a

20:51

search bar you can type in double

20:54

fire and it lights

20:56

up everything in your like at least it's a

20:58

step forward and Diablo's only been out

21:00

less than a year Diablo 4 so that's

21:02

what's frustrating is they have half

21:04

of your solution already available right

21:07

and they did it right before we went

21:09

to random perks again because they brought in

21:12

the system where you can see every weapon

21:14

and which ones you've acquired in your collections

21:16

yeah but the problem is is you can't

21:19

grab from collections randomly rolled gear and

21:21

so what they I like

21:24

they have to do it at some point I don't

21:26

see a way unless they want to continue to increase

21:28

vault space literally forever yeah I don't want to have

21:30

yeah they have to get to a point where

21:33

collections will read you have

21:36

you have acquired these roles we will not

21:38

make you go get these roles again you

21:40

can pick any of these perks combinations that

21:42

you've gotten before and just grab it for

21:44

a amount of glimmer you know whatever it

21:46

is that way you don't have to worry

21:48

your vault can be anything else you want

21:50

to be just what you have on I

21:52

would bet that there's some someone's

21:54

probably tagged that as something they

21:56

want to work on or someone

21:58

is working on it because clearly

22:01

they brought collections to be that.

22:03

But then when they added random roles, it's like, well,

22:06

now we've got to redo the system.

22:08

Sorry. Yeah.

22:11

Like, you know, a lot of

22:13

other games have tried to implement, you

22:15

have systems where you can reroll items to

22:17

get combos of perks. And Destiny has some

22:19

of that with crafting, obviously, which again was

22:22

meant to help with it, but that requires

22:24

it's like, in either or I can grind

22:26

out, you know, getting these things and figure

22:28

it out, or I can just look at

22:30

my vault. It's, it's got to

22:32

be about less time, not an equal amount

22:35

of time. But, um, yeah, but

22:37

anyway, I mean, I, just to

22:39

make it clear, because I think Briar, you can,

22:41

sounds like you were late. It's that I've already

22:43

earned some of this stuff. You're telling me that

22:45

it's still relevant because you haven't sunset it. That

22:47

in, I realized there's plenty of replacements, but it's

22:49

about knowing that I didn't waste my time. I

22:52

got something sitting in there that I'm just going

22:54

to delete because there's something new I can go

22:56

grind for. That's not appealing. I'd rather, um, and

22:59

it's because of like how I play, like I'm

23:01

still sitting on a machine gun from beyond light

23:03

that I use so much and it

23:05

honestly like gives me so much joy and

23:08

the idea that I would accidentally delete that

23:10

without investigating it. It's sort of a

23:12

devastating concept. So it's part of the fun to have

23:14

in a collection of stuff that goes back so far

23:16

as like every once in a while you can pull

23:18

something out and there. And they're like, your fire team

23:20

was like, whoa, what the heck is that thing? Oh,

23:23

oh, I got this. Like way back when, you know,

23:25

yeah, I like all this stuff.

23:27

It's even, but it's even less

23:29

about cinematology. It's genuinely really good.

23:31

It's that I've been trained

23:33

and proven or I'm like, a lot of

23:35

the stuff I use is, is quite old

23:37

that you got to look at it first.

23:39

So, um, anyway, um,

23:42

I, I, I just really hope for the

23:44

final shape. There's like a little something, you

23:46

know, I wouldn't need there, but I

23:50

banked in any mode on that one. That

23:53

would be probably a pretty low priority

23:55

thing. Um, in terms of,

23:58

but see, but how, I mean, I, I. It's

24:00

getting up there though. I think friends right like it

24:02

is starting to deter people from coming back cuz they're

24:04

like Oh, do I want to deal with that vault

24:07

though cuz they like have to to play the game

24:09

and No,

24:11

I don't think I'll play yeah Dude

24:15

brings up just really quick He

24:17

says like that destiny

24:19

should be grind for the frames and then

24:21

grind for the perts separately That's what crafting

24:23

was gonna be that was their original idea

24:25

for crafting and then they had to make

24:27

it something else Because they had issues with

24:29

having that fit in the game. So

24:33

I don't think this is the ideal version of any

24:35

any That

24:38

would have been incredible if you could just basically design a

24:40

weapon Yeah, like once you

24:42

unlock rampage, for example, it's like, okay. I can

24:44

put rampage on all of my SMEs or how That

24:48

would be incredible Living

24:50

good cuz then it gets you excited like

24:52

oh, it's got rampage on it. Finally. I

24:54

could rampage on my hand cannons. Yeah Yeah,

24:58

that would be sick. Yeah, I was

25:00

bringing up division if you haven't heard it or

25:02

never looked it up they have a library as

25:04

one example, but you um You

25:07

can save I mean it

25:09

wouldn't apply exactly to destiny But roughly speaking

25:11

you have the gun and you already got

25:13

a roll so you can save One

25:16

of those pieces so to speak forget the exact

25:18

but in other words, then you never have to

25:21

worry about back on with that Perk

25:23

on it you at least have that one perk and

25:25

then in other words It lets you like get closer

25:27

to a God roll But it also gives you confidence

25:29

that if you just delete it and that was the

25:32

main thing Let's say it was hatchling or something. You're

25:34

like, well, I already have it in the archive I

25:36

can just delete it and get a better one later

25:38

or use that one, you know Stuff

25:41

like that would it be? So

25:43

I don't know which one you said it but you guys mentioned

25:45

that destiny is 10 years old almost and

25:47

it occurred to me That there are definitely people

25:49

playing destiny to that

25:52

were born after Like

25:55

the release of destiny Oh

26:00

no, you're right. It didn't occur to

26:02

me until just now That

26:06

is wild they were raised on it, right?

26:09

Yeah, there were kids raised on it that are

26:11

just getting into more hardcore gaming that are right

26:13

watching like, you know Mom and dad play it

26:15

and then now they're playing it too. Can you

26:17

imagine? Yeah I think that's some

26:19

of CJ Gibson's kids. Yeah the video

26:22

game. Yeah from fire team chat. Yeah

26:27

Anything else in the swamp I Gave

26:30

iron banner dates. So April 2nd and April

26:32

30th. They're gonna be your your dates for

26:34

getting the new iron banner stuff That's being

26:37

added They are

26:39

also adding Well,

26:42

the update comes in March and

26:46

then they're also of course adding like trial

26:48

stuff They're

26:52

also giving players 700

26:54

bright dust each week leading up to the

26:56

launch of the final shape if you starting

26:58

March 5th So just please

27:01

we'll give you cash Exactly.

27:04

Yeah, it feel

27:06

that it feels so funny having this

27:08

come out and like all the articles

27:10

this week about like low population and

27:12

destiny and Yeah

27:18

And you're like I want to get absolutely

27:20

everything and you're working on titles and you're

27:22

working on your guardian ranking You're trying to

27:24

collect everything then that makes sense. But if

27:27

you're just like a player who enjoys Certain

27:29

parts of the game is not really a reason

27:31

to play at the moment Yeah,

27:34

and it's okay to take breaks another reminder everyone

27:36

if you are done with it for a bit

27:38

Just be done with it for a bit come

27:40

back when one of these weapons comes out and

27:42

it'll feel a lot better Than if you had

27:44

just stuck with it unpleasantly

27:52

They're also removing the cap for armor

27:54

synthesis Threader bounties on March 5th because

27:56

of course it's a long season normally

27:58

you would have had a refresh So

28:00

they're just refreshing that we're getting a

28:02

bit of like a mid-season update pretty much

28:04

to yeah, rushing things up a bit Mm-hmm.

28:07

I Really wish

28:09

this announcement what I wish it would

28:11

have included is the reprised Garden

28:14

of salvation weapon to be craftable. I've

28:17

just been waiting for it and No,

28:20

no announcement to have all this other stuff and

28:22

not that I'm like, oh, that would have been

28:24

great Okay,

28:31

glad for what we got a Little

28:35

bit of destiny stuff. Yeah,

28:37

yeah months to go Well

28:43

watch you've been playing hell divers I

28:46

did it came out today It's

28:48

very interesting. So I've just been

28:50

playing I haven't looked at anything about it And

28:53

I go out to the living room I tell Tomo

28:55

like hey, we might have found a game to play

28:57

when we can't get you know Max amount of people

29:00

to play League of Legends How divers

29:02

is really fun? And he's like I've

29:04

seen that the reviews are like not great.

29:06

I'm like really what's going on? So

29:10

I still haven't looked at anything's I went

29:13

right into doing the podcast but the game

29:15

I can definitely see it's pretty reliant on

29:17

playing with other people whether randoms or Friends

29:20

when you get to harder difficulties You're

29:23

not really gonna be able to like

29:25

load in purely solo to them and

29:27

manage to complete the stuff Also,

29:30

I think the quick play option where

29:32

you just find a match with

29:35

anyone who's looking for someone to join

29:37

I think that's broken at the moment.

29:39

What kind of cross play is maybe

29:41

broken The kind

29:43

of game that launches with online

29:45

connected connectivity that doesn't work It

29:48

is You can join your friends

29:50

like we were playing with us playing with my Lynn for

29:52

like five hours. Totally fine I could

29:54

join any one of my friends list totally fine it

29:57

is if star

30:00

Ship Troopers made

30:02

a video game where

30:04

you fight hordes of

30:07

bugs and robots and

30:09

you have to do objectives and then

30:11

extract after doing it. Okay. Okay.

30:15

Is it anything like Outriders? No.

30:18

No. It doesn't have

30:20

like... So the main

30:22

overarching thing is that... So right now there's

30:25

like an invasion of bugs and

30:27

the entire community is

30:29

working on killing all of the bugs

30:32

in this area and then it unlocks

30:34

the next part of the map and

30:36

it's all new stages to kill. You're

30:39

pushing back the threat essentially. So everybody's

30:41

working as a team, like all of the player

30:43

base? Yes. Yeah.

30:46

Interesting. And you can see the percentage

30:48

changing in like live. You can see

30:50

the percentage like going up of people

30:52

killing, pushing the bugs back. So

30:55

the whole community is working towards pushing

30:57

the bugs back and then as

30:59

they complete that you get to go to a different

31:01

part of the map and you do the next thing

31:03

and then when you do all of it, it refreshes.

31:05

And I don't know fully what happens after it refreshes.

31:08

Maybe it's like different enemies, different

31:11

stuff. I'm not sure. But

31:13

yeah, it's pretty cool. It

31:15

is pretty cool to see that happening live.

31:19

Yeah. How many people

31:21

like are is it like a massively multiplayer

31:23

game? Like are there like hundreds of people

31:25

playing? No, it's four

31:28

teams of four teams of four. Yeah.

31:33

And it's a third person action shooter. You

31:37

have a loadout with two guns and then

31:39

a heavy gun that you can call in.

31:41

So there'll be things like an anti-tank rocket

31:44

launcher, a machine gun, those kind of things.

31:46

You also have like orbital strikes that you

31:48

can call in, turrets

31:51

that you can place down, one that just

31:53

like spits mines everywhere. And

31:56

then you also have a grenade. So

31:59

yeah, you can set up. up your loadout before you go

32:01

in with a bunch of different guns and

32:03

a bunch of different orbital colon

32:05

thingy-mahoos. Is it a little bit like Left 4

32:07

Dead or something like that? Kind of.

32:09

Yeah. Yeah. It's kind of like that where

32:11

you're trying to like do an objective with

32:13

just like hordes of enemies kind of. Trying

32:16

to storm you and stop you from doing it.

32:18

So yes, it's pretty a similar vibe to that

32:20

for sure, where you get your friends together and

32:23

you're just laughing. Chaos is happening. It's like a

32:25

cheesy 80s action movie

32:27

just all throughout it. Yeah.

32:30

It's a lot of fun if you are playing

32:32

with friends. I don't know how fun it is

32:34

if you're playing solo and you group up with

32:36

people from what I heard on

32:38

stream, people were having like a good time with doing

32:41

that. Oh, that's good. Yeah.

32:43

But definitely with friends, very fun,

32:45

very chaotic, very silly. There is

32:47

friendly fire, which shooting,

32:50

you don't actually shoot each other very

32:52

often because you're in like wide areas,

32:54

big wide open areas, but

32:56

you could totally kill a friend with like

32:59

a grenade or an

33:01

orbital strike or mine.

33:03

Yeah. I call it in mind. I like

33:05

this game. I like this game. It's really nice.

33:07

You would have a lot of fun with game Briar. I

33:09

was playing it and I was like, Briar needs to

33:11

get in on this game. We should, we should play this

33:14

with Briar for sure. Okay. I mean,

33:16

how many times did you kill Mylan? Hmm.

33:20

Um, not enough. Not yet. Yeah.

33:22

The answer is for sure. Oh,

33:24

okay. Cause I got the orbital thing where

33:26

it drops down and it

33:28

spits mines everywhere. And

33:31

if one of the minds hit him, he's

33:33

dead. Yes. If you run over a mine,

33:35

you are dead. Yep. What's the best weapon

33:37

to kill your teammates? Yeah.

33:41

A grenade, a grenade is probably very

33:43

good. Yeah. Grenades are great. I had

33:45

one situation where I threw a grenade.

33:47

It didn't go very far. So it

33:49

didn't kill me, but part of the

33:51

blast pushed me back. So I went

33:53

flying. But while I was flying, I

33:55

had already primed another grenade

33:57

in my hand. And cause I.

34:00

I was flying, I couldn't throw the grenade,

34:02

so it blew me up. I

34:05

like that. You know, that's

34:07

something, I feel like Blast Physics are something

34:09

that was getting worked on in like the

34:11

Quake 2 and 3 era. And

34:14

then it kinda don't happen anymore. I wonder if

34:17

it's like a motion sickness thing where you, we

34:19

just can't move the player around like that, otherwise

34:21

we risk like motion sickness. I

34:23

gotta say, it is really fun like being thrown

34:25

back that far when something hits you. It's a

34:27

third person game too, right? I feel like you got a

34:30

little more leeway to do something like that. I

34:33

think it's a good attack that's been challenging. Things

34:36

have gotten so complex, but then you have all

34:38

the server sync and frames

34:40

are faster than ever and all that combination.

34:43

It's the same as like, I always

34:45

complain about, you know, you could pretty much shoot

34:48

out every light bulb in games of that era

34:50

as well. Like it started to be,

34:52

ooh, I can shoot the light out? And then now like

34:54

you can't shoot out a light to save your life. Like

34:57

one or two games. I mean, you can, but

34:59

it's very rare, right? You'd be surprised in modern

35:01

games, stuff like that. But I think it's

35:04

like they kind of are busy with other stuff. But

35:06

yeah, getting that back life game for VR,

35:09

Fran. No, I wanted

35:11

to Alex or whatever it is. Yeah, that was sick

35:13

because you could just walk up to a table and

35:15

start messing with anything on the table with your hands.

35:17

Just like pick it up and inspect it and put

35:20

it back. Yeah, put it back down and stuff

35:22

like that. Real time physics about it. It's

35:25

it's I think they've done a really

35:27

good job with how what you do

35:29

interacts with the world. Yeah.

35:32

So you throw down an orbital strike and you

35:34

just see aliens just explode and they're flying everywhere

35:36

and there's a big crater in the floor where

35:39

you called it in. Yeah, it does sound fun. The

35:42

game gets, it does get pretty tough. Like

35:44

you have to start really working as a

35:47

team. And it got so difficult that we

35:49

couldn't really kill the aliens fast. Well, bugs

35:51

fast enough with our guns. So

35:53

if I would die, Mylon would call

35:55

in my reinforcement. He'd throw it down

35:57

and I would move my. pod

36:00

to land on the bug and kill them.

36:04

Oh, like a, like a drop ship. Like you're

36:06

the cabal. The ball. Yeah. Yeah.

36:10

I did that a couple of times. That

36:12

what this game is. You're now playing as the cabal.

36:17

It's, it's silly, silly fun. It's

36:19

really just, it's really fun. It's

36:21

40 bucks. If you

36:23

get like the deluxe, it's what

36:25

60 bucks. Um,

36:28

yeah. It's a good time. What

36:30

do you get with deluxe, like cosmetics for your character? You

36:33

do get cosmetics and it also gives you the, um, premium

36:36

battle pass. Oh, also the battle pass works

36:38

kind of like Halo. It doesn't go away.

36:41

So you can kind of work at it at your own time. There

36:44

are a lot of cosmetics, like, uh, do you earn cosmetics

36:46

or you buy them in a store or both? Both.

36:49

Both. Yeah. You can do both. So

36:51

both the free and the paid

36:53

battle pass has cosmetics. How

36:56

easy was it be to create a stormtrooper? Yeah.

37:01

Well, I think you kind of look pretty stormtroopery

37:03

right away. It seemed like it'd be pretty

37:05

easy, right? Yeah. Yeah.

37:10

And like from looking at the cosmetics in the

37:12

store, you can buy like the full

37:14

outfit for two bucks, I was like, okay. In

37:17

terms of microtransactions that I've seen,

37:19

they seem pretty fair. Uh,

37:21

what I have seen people be upset about, which

37:23

I think is totally fair, is that there are

37:26

guns in the free and the paid battle pass.

37:29

So the way that the battle pass works is a little different.

37:31

So it's not like you go from zero

37:33

to level 100 and you collect things

37:36

along the way. You get things called

37:38

medals and then you

37:40

have some things that cost six medals, some

37:43

things that cost three medals, and

37:45

you kind of just pick and choose. And then

37:47

to go to the next part of the battle

37:49

pass, it's like, you have to spend eight medals

37:51

to buy something from this tier. So

37:54

you're just kind of picking and choosing stuff along

37:56

the way that you want with the medals that

37:58

you earn in a game. So

38:00

from the free battle pass, I spent four medals

38:02

and got a shotgun from

38:05

the free one. Mylin spent, I don't

38:07

know how many medals it was, but

38:09

he bought a gun from the paid

38:11

battle pass. And I tried it.

38:14

Just seems like the other guns, to

38:16

be honest. I couldn't really, it didn't

38:18

feel like it was like, this is

38:20

going to be the difference between us

38:22

defeating the challenging difficulty level thing and

38:24

not. It didn't feel like that. So

38:28

yeah, it's hard for me to gauge

38:30

if that would be pay to win

38:32

or really bad as of right now, because

38:35

I don't know how good any of the

38:37

weapons are. Yeah. It's just whether you're comfortable

38:39

with the fact that, you know, people

38:41

who spent 20 bucks for

38:43

the, what's not actually, it's 10 bucks. It's 10

38:45

bucks for the premium if you didn't get like

38:48

the deluxe. So it's $10 for

38:50

the battle pass. If you

38:52

feel comfortable with people getting, you know, extra guns. What

38:57

is the like incentive to like get those

38:59

extra guns? Like, is it the effects just

39:02

different and special on them or? Yeah,

39:04

there's like certain bugs that have like

39:06

armor stuff like that. So different weapons

39:09

will have like armor piercing or armor

39:11

breaking stuff. So you'd probably want to

39:13

be like, I want to have stuff

39:15

to deal with long range things. I

39:17

want to be able to deal with

39:19

armored things. Yeah. Gotcha.

39:24

That's why you'd want to get the different

39:26

weapons, but it's just I think it's just

39:28

a fun game to play. It's

39:30

a very game game. I get knows that it's

39:32

a game and it is like hamming up that

39:34

it's a video game and it's having fun with

39:36

it, which I can appreciate. Did

39:39

anybody play the Final Fantasy 7

39:41

Rebirth demo yet? I

39:44

didn't play it. I watched Tomo play

39:46

it. I made the decision not

39:48

to play it just purely

39:50

because one it's out in three

39:52

weeks. Yeah, there's like a video game.

39:54

I'm current a brand new game. I'm currently highly addicted

39:56

to I'm going to be playing a brand new game

39:59

next week. Steam

40:01

next fest is happening and then

40:03

also you're like you can choose it's basically the beginning

40:05

of the game You're playing the flashback at the beginning

40:07

of the game and when you go into the full

40:09

game You can choose to skip it and I was

40:12

like I might actually prefer to just like go

40:14

right from yeah What's that long

40:16

in between I could see that like you might

40:18

forget or you might want to just have it

40:20

fresh Yeah, yeah, I think I think it's also just gonna make

40:23

me want to play the game more and be mad that

40:25

I can't So I'm like I'm

40:28

just I'm just gonna wait but I did I did

40:30

watch Tomo play and it looks beautiful

40:32

Yeah, like a big visual

40:34

upgrade over. Yeah, I would say so

40:36

yeah, and he was playing in performance mode

40:38

So that wasn't even like the 4k graphics mode

40:40

and it looks Yeah,

40:44

they did a big day to play To

40:47

play with insane. I was watching

40:49

it just like ha

40:51

this game is like every game in the

40:53

game Their thing is gonna be a

40:55

hundred hours. I bet it will be 300 They

41:02

wrote 400 songs for rebirth

41:05

what Four hundred

41:07

new songs. That's what a new

41:10

song is this game supposed to be a hundred

41:12

hours. What was remastered? It was

41:14

a hundred hours, right? It

41:18

was called remake it was like 30 hours, right I

41:22

Think it took people longer. It took me quite

41:24

a bit longer It's

41:27

I mean, it's one of those games it depends right

41:29

on how much you're doing the mini games how much

41:31

you're grabbing everything in Town I found every one of

41:33

those rags and every one of those children. Oh god.

41:35

That was the worst part about The

41:38

piano playing mini game and rebirth.

41:40

I'm gonna be spending like Yeah,

41:45

they have like chords and Yeah,

41:48

you're you could play in and all those thumbsticks

41:51

And you're like it has chords

41:53

and notes around the two thumbsticks.

41:55

So you're like Playing

41:58

Final Fantasy music with the two thumbsticks

42:00

and moving them in a circle. Awesome.

42:04

Awesome. I'm, I'm excited for this. I can't

42:06

wait. I'm also, I'm a little torn on

42:08

playing the demo, but it does

42:10

look amazing. Yeah. I

42:13

would say if you don't have anything else you're really wanting to

42:15

play at the moment, I would just play it. Like if it,

42:17

if it was a low period, I'd be like, I'm just playing

42:19

it. Sure. Why not? But I got

42:21

addicted to a game. So yeah. And ours,

42:23

it looks like maybe the director, I would want

42:26

to confirm, but it had confirmed it could still

42:28

be like finished in 40 hours. But that there's

42:30

like a hundred hours of fresh content or something.

42:32

A hundred hours of content in there. Which is

42:34

like, yeah, I agree with why. So I think

42:36

that's for it being square and

42:39

what it is. I mean, yeah, of course. Like

42:41

I wouldn't doubt that at all. I wouldn't even,

42:43

regardless, whether it's 40 or 70, like this game

42:46

looks like it's got tons

42:48

of content and value. They're

42:51

like, you're, you're visiting Zach's hometown and

42:53

red's hometown. You're basically visiting every character's

42:55

hometown. There's like every mini

42:57

game ever. They added a card game in

43:00

there that looks like a take on triple

43:02

triads. Yeah. Deck building gaming, that one. Yeah.

43:05

I'm going to be going around like challenging

43:07

people to card games for 20 hours. Yeah.

43:11

It looks like it's got a ton of stuff. And

43:14

they talked up more, I believe. I

43:16

still didn't quite process it.

43:18

It was, it looks more open world now.

43:20

They got a lot more open world exploration

43:22

to it. Which that was,

43:25

that was the thing that remake didn't

43:27

really have. Um, everything was very linear

43:29

and like it had its

43:31

amazing moments, but now I'm wondering how the

43:33

open world stuff will play. Um, obviously the

43:35

original final fantasy seven was, was more that,

43:38

you know, wandering around outside of

43:40

towns. Yeah. I did watch

43:42

a video from Maximilian who has

43:44

played like he's gone to multiple

43:47

events for rebirth and played it.

43:49

And he said that the open

43:51

world feels much more like Elden

43:54

Ring-esque. What in the way

43:56

of like, there's things that you will see that

43:58

will invite you to go and. explore

44:00

them and figure out

44:02

what's over there and it's not like things just

44:05

riddled with enemies it's not like

44:07

it's gonna be flying wyverns over here and there's

44:09

a frickin fireball dude over there lit it across

44:11

the whole map it's more like oh here's a

44:13

thing that I want to go and explore yeah

44:16

I think yeah the game's sure to

44:19

be pretty amazing we remake was already

44:21

really good yeah other than

44:23

for me it was the one around

44:25

town finding cats sort of mandatory stuff

44:27

where that was my only complaint with

44:29

the game really there are some technical

44:31

issues but easy to easy to overlook

44:34

I thought mine but yeah those side

44:36

quests were not great and they

44:38

spoke directly to that they said

44:40

we heard people's thoughts on the side quests

44:42

and we think we've made better side quests

44:44

this time so great yeah and again like hope

44:47

and hopefully it's just more optional like in

44:49

other words the whole game like it tries

44:51

to stay true to the things you remember

44:53

from the beginning of Final Fantasy 7 so

44:55

it like drops you into towns you're like

44:57

stuck there for a while doing just like

44:59

talking to people and like that that is

45:01

Final Fantasy to be fair but like pacing

45:03

pacing pacing right if it's 40 hours what

45:05

are those 40 hours and like the best

45:08

parts of remake and that I'm looking forward

45:10

to with rebirth is like when

45:12

you're you're getting these amazing

45:14

cutscenes but you're also

45:16

in these battles and like it doing

45:19

real-time full motion video drops

45:21

in the middle of the fights to progress

45:23

you know both the story and the feeling

45:25

of action like it was one of the

45:27

best games I had played even

45:29

of recent memory where like you're in the middle of like

45:32

like fighting and your sword comes down

45:34

and it goes to a completely high

45:36

fidelity you know full motion cutscene that's

45:38

just like gorgeously scored and animated and

45:40

then it goes right back to the

45:42

action and like just that pace and

45:44

feeling is like awesome so anyway

45:47

I'm sure rebirth is gonna be amazing

45:49

but I hope that it doesn't

45:51

yeah drop me off and make me find like

45:54

Easter eggs and cats in town or whatever no

45:56

you're gonna be running after moogles to

45:58

find their meal moogle Hudson

46:00

befriending them. I'm gonna be

46:02

playing that minigame that looks like it's basically wave

46:05

race as well. I was just watching and I

46:07

was like what is going on? This

46:13

is ridiculous. And then what did they

46:15

show that blew my mind? Was

46:18

it a minigame? I

46:20

can't remember. Yeah they kept dropping

46:22

the hits in there. There was so much

46:24

that looks really good. And

46:27

yeah you mentioned fidelity by the way. They

46:30

did talk about how they've

46:32

better optimized like the SSD which is

46:35

part of why it looks better. They

46:38

had very short words on it in the state of

46:40

play but they were basically saying like we've optimized it

46:43

so now we're pulling higher res textures and stuff straight

46:45

from the SSD. And they

46:48

said explicitly that's

46:50

why it looks better than remake so it's not

46:52

just like hey we're utilizing

46:55

PS5. They're like it looks better because we finally

46:57

got a handle on this stuff. Oh

47:00

I know what it was. So the open world

47:03

I really like what they're doing. So there's

47:05

gonna be summons for

47:07

like each part of the map and

47:10

when you first go and fight the summon

47:12

they're like super super super hard. Well basically

47:14

one shot at you and you'll tickle them.

47:17

But doing stuff throughout the open

47:19

world and essentially like where that

47:21

summon rules over in that area

47:24

you can make the fight easier. So

47:26

it really incentivizes you to go and do open world

47:28

stuff and then you can come back and be like

47:31

okay let me try and fight him now because he's

47:33

gonna be a little bit easier. He's like okay nope

47:35

still bad gonna go out and do more open world

47:37

stuff. So I thought that

47:39

was really cool way a cool way

47:41

to incentivize you to go and do

47:43

all the open world stuff because then

47:45

eventually the summon will be easier

47:47

for you to fight and you can fight him and then you'll

47:49

be able to use him in battle. I

47:53

can't wait. Yeah I cannot wait. This

47:56

is like the biggest highlight on my calendar.

47:59

I can't wait for... This one is

48:01

gonna be a big one. It's gonna be

48:03

big guy playing on PlayStation Exclusive

48:08

not yes PC that yes

48:10

station five in case you a fan the

48:13

only downside Please

48:16

put it on PC as well, but not I

48:18

it looks really good I'm glad it has

48:21

performance mode that it runs at 60 seemingly

48:23

last one eventually came to PC right am

48:25

I crazy? Yeah Yeah,

48:28

I did Well,

48:30

I can't wait. I also have my new Tifa

48:35

Car wrap coming for my Honda Civic so I

48:37

can't wait. I thought it was for

48:39

your Ferrari, but that'll look nice, too You're

48:42

a little weird on my Ferrari. I think yeah

48:45

you think so yeah, well keep it classy, you

48:47

know Unlike

48:51

the Honda, I guess that

48:53

gets a different treatment I Anything

48:58

else watching you play anything else you want.

49:00

Oh, yes. Yes. I have a new addiction

49:05

It's called Grand Blue Fantasy relink.

49:07

Oh You will

49:09

know about Grand Blue Briar. Yeah, okay fighting game

49:11

though, right? Not fighting Not

49:15

the anime not the manga the single

49:18

one is like reverse the fighting game

49:20

and relink is though Is

49:23

that how it goes isn't it isn't

49:25

it versus Grand Blue Fantasy versus

49:27

yeah, I feel like it's that We've

49:29

grabbed blue fancy versus but

49:31

there's it I mean Is

49:34

it reverse? So

49:36

this game I know a lot of people

49:39

have been excited about it for a while

49:41

because this the Grand Blue is Everywhere

49:44

there's a gotcha game, which of course not

49:46

everyone wants to play a gacha mobile game

49:48

There's fighting game not everyone's play fighting game

49:51

But some people just really love the lore of the

49:54

anime in the world and stuff So

49:56

they announced that they were making this action

49:59

RPG And it's not

50:01

no no pay to win. No gosh. It's just that

50:03

you buy the game You've got the game and you

50:05

have all of the characters and it

50:07

finally came out So a lot of people are very

50:09

excited about it I was like, I'll play it maybe

50:11

and that was kind of my

50:14

attitude towards it until I Saw

50:16

all the people that I follow

50:18

who are monster hunter players or

50:20

like souls like kind of players

50:23

Talking about how this game is monster hunter

50:25

and I was like, what do

50:27

you mean? It's monster? It looks

50:29

when you're looking at someone play the campaign. It

50:32

looks very Final Fantasy kind of tales

50:34

of a rise So I

50:36

was like, I don't get it That was this monster hunter, but

50:39

they have an entire endgame and

50:42

the campaign also continues past the endgame a

50:44

little bit They have an entire endgame that

50:46

is you taking on quests to

50:49

hunt a specific monster for specific

50:51

Materials to break parts off of

50:53

them to craft weapons and upgrade

50:55

your characters and I was like,

50:58

yeah No, that's That's monster

51:00

hunter. That's how it works. So

51:02

I played it and it's really

51:04

really really good It

51:07

is very very good combat is super fun.

51:09

All of the characters even there's currently Thirteen

51:12

that you can play all

51:15

of them even ones that I didn't think

51:17

I would really like very much I'm like,

51:19

no this character is also really fun and

51:21

they currently have a roadmap to add

51:24

new characters new bosses new weapons Stuff

51:27

like that for March April and May

51:29

nice other characters like really diverse

51:32

like really different in gameplay Yeah,

51:34

they're super different very very different. You've

51:36

got like Magic people

51:39

you've got a woman who

51:41

controls flowers to do a

51:43

bunch of stuff You've got a ghost

51:46

girl with a whip who has pets.

51:48

So you're managing pets You've

51:50

got of course, yeah great swords daggers

51:53

You've got a samurai girl who has

51:55

two different stances that she has to

51:57

manage. They're all they're all very different

52:00

And I'm enjoying playing all of them

52:04

That's cool The Granblue

52:06

fantasy versus rising came out December

52:08

14th 2023 and that's very good.

52:11

That's why I keep that's the

52:13

fighting game Yeah,

52:17

very new yeah, yeah, it's I

52:20

I'm I'm addicted to it

52:22

and pretty much everyone I know

52:24

who is coming to stream and wash it. They're

52:27

like, yep I'm also addicted to it. It's just

52:29

a really if you like Monster

52:31

hunter, I think you will dig the

52:33

game and I like to think of

52:35

the characters as being The different weapons

52:38

in monster hunter. So instead of you know, choosing

52:40

a bow or choosing a Long

52:42

swords you're choosing between the different characters Very

52:46

very good. Very good.

52:49

Cool. I really recommend Anybody

52:53

else got a game they want to talk about Already

52:57

do did you get to

52:59

play anything lately Lego? You're still sticking to

53:02

destiny. No, no still just destiny Yeah, I

53:04

know. I know why Pride

53:08

and true Yeah, I

53:10

feel like there was like some new Movie

53:13

stuff or something that I was like dying

53:15

to talk about and now I can't remember

53:17

what yeah, we miss you Yeah,

53:19

yeah, the coming down. Yeah Yeah,

53:23

um, yeah on my end probably

53:25

the Well two big

53:27

things you tell me where you want to start

53:29

Briar, but obviously I don't remember how much we

53:31

talked about Suicide Squad Um,

53:33

oh, yeah, I do want to hear an update

53:35

on this. Yeah guys work that little

53:38

torn on it I would say last week, right? Like

53:41

there was yeah, I didn't some bad, right? I

53:44

hadn't entered into the endgame

53:46

yet So that was

53:48

the big question I was still like beating the campaign and

53:51

I played quite a bit of it But I

53:53

mean the short of it is Yeah,

53:57

the endgame hasn't grabbed me because it's

53:59

very repetition is gameplay

54:01

style for the core combat and stuff. So

54:04

I said, I talked about that last week.

54:07

And I think when you look at the game, the most

54:09

important thing to do is like, do

54:11

you wanna like just experience the story

54:14

and experience that Rocksteady pedigree?

54:17

And on that front, I'm like,

54:19

I really enjoyed it, right? If

54:21

I remove the like core

54:23

combat and the idea that, right, it's a

54:25

live service game that I heard about, you're

54:28

like, it's still Rocksteady game, with

54:30

these amazing characters. I

54:32

was most attached to Harley, but like I knew

54:34

nothing really about, Boomerang and King

54:37

Shark and a

54:40

Deadshot. And all of their

54:42

interactions and all the story, but of

54:44

course you're getting major story elements from

54:47

the newer characters as well as the Justice

54:50

League, that is. So

54:53

anyway, just their cinematic tech and storytelling, their

54:55

facial animation, like so worth it for me

54:57

to experience. And I think the game has

55:00

gotten so much negativity that I wanted to

55:02

like put that off the top because like

55:04

it falls into this, oh, it's a new

55:06

live service game, oh, it's gonna be another

55:09

Anthem, another Destiny or whatever and like

55:11

it's gonna easily fall into the trap,

55:13

but like really quality Rocksteady

55:15

pedigree is still seen in the game.

55:18

However, instead of, you know,

55:20

Batman Arkham Knight, which had at

55:23

its core, very clever, you

55:26

know, if you never played it right, very

55:28

sticky melee based combat, but you could also

55:30

like sneak in and you could, you know,

55:32

stealth enemies and do quick takedowns, but that's

55:34

because it's a single player game, there's no

55:36

co-op and then at Arkham

55:38

Knight, you also hopped in like, you know, the

55:41

Batmobile and went around town blowing everything up, which

55:43

some people were not fans of, I definitely thought

55:45

that drug it out a bit, but the

55:47

point I'm trying to make there is it still shares

55:49

like so much of that DNA, right? But

55:53

because it's a four player co-op

55:55

live service game, at

55:57

all times, right? It's the four players.

56:00

You know, you're one of them and so it's always AI at your

56:02

side or if you want to match make and the

56:06

core combat it just Was

56:08

really like satisfying at first to like learn

56:10

how to do to do the traversal They

56:12

put a lot of thought into it each

56:14

character is very different But

56:17

then everything else is just like well, you got

56:19

a pistol and SMG and a power weapon and

56:21

King shark you know, it's got like a shoddy

56:24

a Minigun and a whatever

56:26

and dead shots got the sniper and the

56:28

assault rifle and like that is

56:31

I guess on paper like okay, like

56:33

it's a third-person shooter now, but then

56:35

just the combat is swinging around and

56:39

Rooftop the rooftop maybe go down to the streets

56:41

like it was kind of fun at first by

56:43

the time I got to the endgame. I was

56:45

getting worn down on the boss fights because

56:48

of those mechanics Didn't

56:51

turn out to be great you fly in a circle

56:53

arena pretty much I'm gonna say fly should say you're

56:55

swinging around or you're jumping around because you can't fly

56:57

like them Unless you're

56:59

deadshot briefly So yeah

57:02

became like some of the boss fights were like

57:04

okay for me actually But they were never

57:06

like oh that was a dope boss fight And

57:08

then it got to like one of the

57:10

last boss fights a major character

57:12

in Justice League and I was like, oh

57:15

This is annoying and I

57:17

came to find out I was like, oh I'm playing solo

57:20

So this boss is super aggroed on

57:22

me at all times because it's clearly

57:24

meant to be four players So

57:26

the AI wasn't really pulling aggro so made

57:28

it frustrating but the fight really wasn't that

57:30

good or satisfying and then anyway,

57:33

you finally get into the endgame and

57:36

You know, I'm not gonna spoil it for those

57:38

who want to play it But it's like very

57:40

you you know what it's about you're approaching like

57:42

your final bosses and they do this like whole

57:45

like They've already told you

57:47

this is about like else worlds other

57:49

worlds, which is a DC comic thing I guess

57:51

and so they set up this whole idea where it's

57:53

like well You gotta be the game, but you're just

57:55

gonna keep going and kind of do the

57:57

same things But it's the endgame

58:00

game now but it's really just the

58:02

same like rooftop street fighting

58:04

you know like you not like Street Fighter but

58:06

in the streets mechanics that

58:08

you've experienced a whole time and like

58:11

I just didn't find the depth there

58:14

and so the way I could easily break that down

58:16

to sum it up was again

58:18

the traversal at first like it's really kind of

58:20

cool to be feeling hardly

58:22

on she swings on you

58:25

know like a batarang what

58:29

would you call it a robot or whatever but you

58:31

grapple up to it in the sky and you you

58:34

swing around it but it's like a flying

58:36

batarang robot you know drone that's the word

58:38

I'm looking for your bat

58:40

drone but you're swinging around on it in

58:42

like that momentum and getting good at it

58:45

like double jump triple dive to get speed

58:47

it feels kind of cool at first to

58:49

be like coming back up on the rooftops

58:51

and slamming down and using

58:53

your SMG and all that but then like

58:55

I said it's repetitive that wore

58:58

me down but then there's a couple bosses where

59:00

you're swinging around do that cool stuff and

59:03

I shared this sentiment in anthem on a few

59:05

of the like strike type levels where there's a

59:07

boss at the end but you're shooting these like

59:09

major weak points in these big like teramorph robots

59:12

that are in the city and like that

59:14

feeling of swinging like under those shooting those

59:18

big targets

59:20

out like that was actually a lot of

59:22

fun but those are not even really boss

59:24

fights because they're just these giant robots and

59:26

anyway those are the mechanics I liked I

59:28

wanted to see more of but

59:31

it really is like you're fighting

59:33

hordes of the same type of glowing enemies

59:35

on rooftops with different builds of guns and

59:38

stuff so all the

59:40

being said didn't click with me

59:42

I clicked more with Avengers because I think

59:44

it was more like melee meat

59:47

I actually played as Black Widow which had shooting

59:49

and stuff but it's a lot more methodic with

59:52

the combos and all this stuff you know

59:54

it just felt deeper and

59:56

each character you played has a completely different

59:58

skill tree and depth I just feel

1:00:00

like there was so much to swing around jump around

1:00:03

kill things with guns that it didn't Draw

1:00:05

me in but if you do get

1:00:07

into it, I will say they have a pretty

1:00:09

good a decent amount I should say of quality

1:00:11

of life features, you know, you can build very

1:00:13

specific guns and upgrade your guns

1:00:16

the vendors You know, you can get currencies

1:00:18

to like the stuff that they've

1:00:20

learned, you know, like I'm gonna want to upgrade my

1:00:22

guns I'm gonna want this specific perk. I

1:00:24

want to reroll this all that's actually in there. So

1:00:27

people who get into it Oh,

1:00:29

you can save loadouts to in the game, you know

1:00:31

quite a bit of them You can save your

1:00:33

outfits and it's got a little destiny thing going

1:00:36

on there But yeah,

1:00:38

the ultimately in the endgame all

1:00:40

there is to do and I think we're gonna see

1:00:42

this in season one Which comes out in March and

1:00:45

remains to be seen With

1:00:47

Joker be releasing in that as a

1:00:49

playable character. That's not a spoiler because

1:00:51

it's like again these elseworlds thing But

1:00:55

uh all you do you go into these

1:00:57

things called incursions which are They're

1:00:59

not missions and strikes is the point I'm

1:01:01

trying to make right? so you

1:01:03

do kind of like go through

1:01:05

a level but you ultimately kind of just swing

1:01:07

around in circles as parts of it and

1:01:09

again like shoot the same like Helicopters

1:01:12

tanks and enemies that you have

1:01:14

been and so that's like what the endgame

1:01:16

is There's just like a few of those that they added

1:01:18

and I think we'll see a few more But they're

1:01:21

just not dynamic enough for me and there's no like Boss

1:01:24

at the end of each level like in a destiny strike.

1:01:26

Oh, really? Yeah, it's again.

1:01:28

It's like Multiple corrupted tanks

1:01:30

and helicopters and a bunch of enemies

1:01:32

just keep coming at you So they

1:01:35

modify right like the level of the

1:01:37

storm and the wind and your visibility

1:01:40

and some other stuff Anyway,

1:01:42

are they literally just saying like okay, you're

1:01:44

in a multiverse So you just gotta like

1:01:46

do this again and again and again like

1:01:48

is that yeah I mean it is like,

1:01:50

you know the last boss They

1:01:53

basically set up that it's in multiple

1:01:55

universes and so therefore you're gonna keep

1:01:58

fighting it and what in And

1:02:00

the worst part is the last boss uses

1:02:02

one of the powers of one of the

1:02:04

bosses. So it's like a clone boss even

1:02:06

within that fight. Not an original fight. So

1:02:08

you get the setup that basically you're going

1:02:10

to go fight this thing again in other

1:02:12

seasons, but it's probably going to use like

1:02:14

some of the powers, right? From

1:02:17

the rest of the Justice League kind of

1:02:19

thing, like you'll have a... Yeah. But

1:02:22

again, that's like... That's like what

1:02:24

you build towards probably at the end of season,

1:02:26

I think at the end of season one you

1:02:28

go and fight the last

1:02:30

boss again. But like right now you're literally,

1:02:32

you're just going in these incursions. Oh,

1:02:35

and you're swinging all over Metropolis, which it

1:02:37

does get like changed and morphed. If you

1:02:39

played Batman Arkham Asylum, you have an appreciation

1:02:42

for again, what Rocksteady does very well. You're

1:02:44

like, oh man, Metropolis gets like kind of

1:02:46

messed up and you see it happening around

1:02:48

you. It changes the world. So

1:02:51

there is some cool stuff and things that I like

1:02:54

about it. But if anything, I

1:02:56

liked it mostly for experiencing the story of

1:02:58

the campaign, the actual core gameplay hasn't grabbed

1:03:00

me. I don't see how they can change

1:03:02

that for me because again, it's... Yeah. It

1:03:05

is what it is no matter what you add. So

1:03:07

I did... So

1:03:10

I've been watching Paul Tassie's

1:03:12

videos on it as well

1:03:14

and he kind of described

1:03:16

it as, imagine if Destiny

1:03:18

was just public events. Like,

1:03:20

right, no matter what you needed to do,

1:03:23

it was just public events. You didn't have

1:03:25

strikes, you didn't have rations, you didn't have

1:03:27

dungeons. It was just doing public events. And

1:03:29

that's like it in terms of your endgame

1:03:31

grind and I was like, okay.

1:03:33

Yeah. And that's the problem, right? Is that because

1:03:35

those activities are the... And I think it's, yeah,

1:03:38

if you know public events, perfect description, but I

1:03:40

for a while was trying to find the word.

1:03:42

I'm like, yeah, they're activities, but that

1:03:44

is the combat and the gameplay throughout the whole

1:03:47

game. So you go through like,

1:03:49

just as an example of like, here's what

1:03:51

I like, you know, we go to a

1:03:53

mission, you're in it, everybody's talking to each

1:03:55

other. These really like, honestly, like triple quadruple

1:03:58

A quality cut scenes and story. you

1:04:00

know, composition is amazing. And then you're like,

1:04:03

you're even walking with the controller, right? Like

1:04:05

more close up. But then, dumps you out

1:04:07

into Metropolis, you swing around to the activity.

1:04:09

You beat people up on the rooftop. And

1:04:11

then you go to your next thing in

1:04:13

a really cool scene with Lex, you're walking

1:04:15

around a little bit, even solve a minor

1:04:17

thing, but then you're back out, activity. That's,

1:04:20

by the time you get to the endgame, it's just more of

1:04:22

that. It's just like the corrupted, slightly

1:04:24

tweaked versions. And so, they

1:04:26

need to add a lot more missions,

1:04:29

and like I described, I think, like you could imagine

1:04:31

a mission where you're going through, it's one of these

1:04:33

big turrets that's the size of a building, you take

1:04:36

that down, you go to the next one, and then

1:04:38

they got a unique boss at the end that's like

1:04:40

really matches the style. They

1:04:42

got a lot of work to do if they plan on doing

1:04:44

that. One of the things that I think

1:04:46

is going to be really hard for any new live service game

1:04:48

is that your competition

1:04:50

has been around for five, ten

1:04:53

years, building, building, building. And

1:04:55

like, how much of an

1:04:57

investment would it cost on

1:04:59

a pretty risky endeavor to

1:05:02

match the amount of content

1:05:04

of a Warframe or a

1:05:06

Destiny or another game that

1:05:08

has been around building. Yeah,

1:05:10

it's a tough situation, I

1:05:12

think. It's

1:05:14

very, very difficult. So, you have these

1:05:16

games where the people who want to

1:05:19

play live service games have probably already

1:05:21

found their live service game.

1:05:24

And you can only have a

1:05:26

certain amount of time for video games. You're

1:05:28

not going to have time for maybe even

1:05:31

more than one live service game. And

1:05:33

there's another problem. The same problem

1:05:35

with MMORPGs, right? It's like, you

1:05:38

get one, you can't have two,

1:05:41

you can't play two. It's

1:05:43

very difficult, yeah. And then you have

1:05:45

the other problem of Rocksteady, their audience,

1:05:47

like what they have built with their

1:05:50

fan base is like single player story,

1:05:52

like awesome games. So that's their fan

1:05:54

base. And I think any of us

1:05:56

know that if you're trying to switch

1:05:59

fan bases. from maybe being a

1:06:01

Destiny content creator to being variety.

1:06:04

It's very difficult. Not everyone is there to

1:06:06

be there for anything

1:06:08

you're gonna do. So Rocksteady is

1:06:10

like, they're trying to build an

1:06:13

entire new audience almost, plus they're

1:06:15

trying to capture people

1:06:17

who wanna play live service games.

1:06:20

It's very, very, very difficult.

1:06:22

Yeah, it's- There's only room for one

1:06:24

anthem in my life. And that spot is occupied.

1:06:26

Well, it's funny, because that's

1:06:28

exactly what I- It's been a while since I've

1:06:30

thought, like I, all Paul Tazzie stuff, a bunch

1:06:32

of people talking about this game online. It wasn't

1:06:34

until Fran was talking just a second ago and

1:06:37

talking about the traversal and everything, but how there's

1:06:39

no like bosses and in-game and

1:06:41

stuff. And I'm like, man, it really sounds

1:06:43

so much like anthem now. Like just, they

1:06:45

were like, oh, flying's really cool. Like let's

1:06:47

double down on that. And then there's like

1:06:50

nothing else. And then, but now with this,

1:06:52

it's like everybody says the traversal's so good.

1:06:54

And they were like, wow, this is awesome.

1:06:57

Let's double down on it. And make it unique for

1:06:59

every character. And it feels so good,

1:07:01

but there's like nothing. They didn't really integrate the

1:07:03

rest. The rest of the game is just not

1:07:05

there. Yeah.

1:07:08

Yeah, I mean, it's

1:07:11

striking. Like it's weird that there is endgame.

1:07:13

Just to be clear, right? There's those three

1:07:15

incursions, the world is morphed. You

1:07:17

can go, the entire world of Metropolis has opened you.

1:07:19

Although by the way, if you get too far away

1:07:21

from your team, that's another, they got a

1:07:24

tech problem that you can't be on the other side

1:07:26

of the city. You got to stay like somewhat close

1:07:28

to each other. But

1:07:30

there is the endgame. It's just, it's not like

1:07:32

really quality and a lot of it. You know,

1:07:34

I would look at, yeah. Anthem had

1:07:37

actually a few missions, right? And bosses

1:07:39

like that you could match make into. And

1:07:41

like it doesn't- They had like strikes kind

1:07:43

of. Yeah, it doesn't have even that

1:07:45

really, even though it's got even curtains. It's not the

1:07:48

same. It's crazy, right? It's like Anthem

1:07:50

actually had more than a

1:07:52

lot of these live service games that have come out

1:07:54

and tried to be a thing. Yeah.

1:07:58

And they didn't have an endgame. Pour one out. for the

1:08:00

big A in the sky. It's

1:08:02

interesting, too, that there's so many. Like,

1:08:06

we were talking about people who found their live service

1:08:08

game already. Anybody who wants a live service game probably

1:08:10

already has it. And that

1:08:12

has created this thing

1:08:15

that every live service game needs these certain

1:08:17

things or it feels empty. Like, if this

1:08:19

game would have come along before the other

1:08:21

live service games, it would be like, oh,

1:08:23

look at this. All this cool stuff you

1:08:26

can do. Like, you wouldn't be thinking about,

1:08:28

like, where's the boss? Or like, where are

1:08:30

the strikes? Where's the raid? I don't know.

1:08:32

Maybe. But think about how much Destiny has

1:08:34

relied on awesome feeling gameplay to just

1:08:37

get us through. Right?

1:08:39

There's been some long content routes.

1:08:41

We're in one right now. But

1:08:43

the shooting has always felt fun, right? I

1:08:46

also had the cores. Yeah.

1:08:48

Yeah, MPVs. And now they

1:08:51

keep bringing small stuff, too. Like, even

1:08:53

if there's not some new raid or

1:08:55

new expansion, there was just a dungeon

1:08:57

two months ago. And

1:08:59

it feels awesome to actually have

1:09:02

this several layered boss fight with

1:09:04

different mechanics you can bring people

1:09:06

into. And to have

1:09:08

nothing like that in an entire

1:09:10

game is rough. Yeah, that's true.

1:09:13

Yeah. Also, I'm ready for

1:09:15

a moratorium on the multiverse. Can we

1:09:17

just quit it with multiverses? Like, you're

1:09:20

overdoing it, guys. Like, it's just everywhere.

1:09:22

It just feels like a story excuse

1:09:24

to get out of anything. Like, oh,

1:09:27

we need to bring a character back. Oh, the

1:09:29

multiverse. You know, multiverse. Oh,

1:09:32

we need to change up. We need to change

1:09:34

the story. Oh, multiverse. You know, we need to.

1:09:38

Jesus, guys. Just too much. Back it

1:09:40

off. Five-year moratorium on the multiverse. If

1:09:42

you got a good idea, it'll still

1:09:44

be there in five years. And you can make it then if we

1:09:46

all think it's still a good idea. But just

1:09:48

quit. I kind of hate that

1:09:51

it exists in Destiny with the dark

1:09:53

timeline stuff. I hope that

1:09:55

we just don't touch that for a little while.

1:09:57

Like, they know. OK, this has been played out.

1:09:59

Let's see. just leave it where it is and

1:10:01

keep going. Agreed.

1:10:06

Live service. There's

1:10:08

also a backlash on live service games in general,

1:10:10

I feel like. There is. I think even

1:10:13

in like the press, right,

1:10:15

it's like it's just like people just kind

1:10:17

of like... Yeah, no,

1:10:19

that's what I was getting at. It's like

1:10:22

I had to tell you that actually I,

1:10:25

you know, if you don't mind the price tag and

1:10:28

you want to spend time getting into

1:10:30

a DC campaign, right, quality. It's great.

1:10:32

It's Rocksteady pedigree, but then it's

1:10:35

the other stuff that, you know, might turn you off.

1:10:37

Oh, that's all people here. Live service, shooting

1:10:40

on rooftops, activity, public event. That's all they

1:10:42

hear and I'm like it still has like

1:10:44

these really high AAA quality stuff. It's a

1:10:46

banger looking great too. It's beautiful. They

1:10:48

have like probably the best

1:10:51

facial animation work I've like ever seen.

1:10:54

It looks really cool. I'd

1:10:56

say yeah, it's a mastery of like

1:10:58

Unreal Engine 4 in terms of that

1:11:00

and the amount and also just characters

1:11:02

that you know. Yeah, they got some

1:11:04

like really cool like scenes between the

1:11:06

Justice League where, you know, you're observing

1:11:08

them fighting each other and

1:11:11

fighting you and so on. So yeah, all that

1:11:13

stuff is more than worth checking out if you're

1:11:15

into it. I think you'll really enjoy it, but

1:11:17

probably just play it on the easier mode and

1:11:19

don't be like me and bang your head against

1:11:21

the wall in hard mode for a while. This

1:11:23

really brings me to like, so you know

1:11:26

recently we had lots of articles coming out

1:11:28

where it's like 95% of studios are planning

1:11:32

a live service game, but it

1:11:34

was based on a poll that

1:11:36

asked do you plan on having

1:11:38

like consistent updates. So

1:11:41

that includes Monster Hunter, Cyberpunk,

1:11:43

Grand Blue, Power, it includes

1:11:46

most games these days because most games plan

1:11:48

on like hey we're gonna do a free

1:11:50

update, we're gonna do this thing here and

1:11:53

expansion. Yeah, we need a new word because

1:11:55

when you say live service people think Battle

1:11:57

Pass seasons like it's a very good thing.

1:12:00

very specific thing. I

1:12:02

agree with that. Yeah. Like we brought up

1:12:05

go Sushima last week. I think like that's

1:12:07

the way to do it or like the

1:12:09

way that God wore Ragnarok did Valhalla and

1:12:11

like adding those things, especially when they're free,

1:12:14

even better, but, um, even pay

1:12:16

for, I mean, I'm open to, but like, yeah, updating

1:12:19

your game to have like multiplayer

1:12:21

stuff. Yeah. I agree.

1:12:23

We need a better way to frame it. And

1:12:25

that's not necessarily a live service, right? Not necessarily

1:12:28

a live service. No. Um, but

1:12:31

speaking of which, I should probably mention Skån Bons real

1:12:33

fast, which falls right into that category. The beta is

1:12:35

currently happening. I do it before you say anything

1:12:37

for it. I do want

1:12:39

to bring up what the CEO said

1:12:41

about. Oh yeah. I just saw this. Yeah. Oh, did

1:12:44

you? Oh yeah. So the

1:12:46

game is $70, right? 60

1:12:50

on PC. 60 on PC. Full price game.

1:12:52

Full price game. And people are always like,

1:12:55

ha. And the

1:12:57

reason they said, the CEO said that

1:12:59

this is essentially a quadruple a video

1:13:02

game, so that is

1:13:04

why it warrants the price tag.

1:13:06

Yeah. Now that being said, I

1:13:10

don't want to go and defend a super

1:13:12

rich CEO of a publisher, but like, I

1:13:14

think it was a bit of hyperbole. Like

1:13:16

I was reading the quote. It's like, it's

1:13:18

a triple A and it was

1:13:20

like, that's a quadruple A, you know, plus

1:13:22

he's French. But I mean, it

1:13:24

is a quad. But

1:13:28

yeah, like I think a bit of hyperbole

1:13:31

there, but the fact is he is saying

1:13:33

it's a triple A game. It's super vast.

1:13:35

It's expansive. I haven't experienced those

1:13:37

things yet because the map is covered in fog.

1:13:39

It's an own bit, but it's true. Like I,

1:13:43

I'm glad you brought that up because on

1:13:45

previous show correction, I think I was saying,

1:13:47

I'm like, oh, it's like 50 bucks or

1:13:49

that's because it was 59.99 on

1:13:51

PC, which you just don't. You're not used to even

1:13:53

seeing the five at the beginning of most pay for

1:13:55

games. You know, I think, and like I miss Reddit,

1:13:57

but yeah, it's a full 70 hour console.

1:14:00

game, etc. So I'm like, man, this game

1:14:02

better deliver when it comes

1:14:04

to amount of content and just the pace

1:14:06

of things to right keep you from the

1:14:08

thing I keep saying the most about scumbones

1:14:10

is like, I don't want to be in

1:14:12

this situation where I play

1:14:14

the game for like 25 hours and

1:14:17

like, it's all right. And then like it puts

1:14:19

you in the end game and then it wants

1:14:21

you to grind forever to get the quote unquote

1:14:23

value out of that $70 game

1:14:25

and all the stuff they put in it in the

1:14:27

world to see so context

1:14:29

real quick about why people were like, this

1:14:32

is a full price game. It's

1:14:34

because it is a live

1:14:36

service leaning game, right? No,

1:14:38

it is. I didn't realize

1:14:41

because they're doing four seasons. Yes.

1:14:44

So people expected it to be

1:14:47

free to play and then free to

1:14:49

play live service game, essentially. So people

1:14:51

were surprised. And

1:14:53

because of how long it's been in development.

1:14:55

So I think it's gone through so many

1:14:57

phases and like people just doubted lost track.

1:14:59

And so again, it takes us back

1:15:02

like it kind of was born out of people's

1:15:04

love for Assassin's Creed Black Flag, which had these

1:15:06

ship elements. That was a long time ago. That's

1:15:08

how long the game. Yeah.

1:15:11

And like, they announced it and they sort

1:15:13

of delayed again and delayed and reannounce.

1:15:15

And so because of it, everybody's confused and

1:15:18

doubting it. And so I think that's completely

1:15:20

warranted. But what I will say

1:15:22

is everybody, I think will be

1:15:24

surprised at like the quality of like visuals,

1:15:26

tech, you know, it is on that front,

1:15:28

I'm seeing, you know, the full price tag

1:15:31

and everything at its base, right? I

1:15:34

would describe it to folks as, hey,

1:15:36

this is a pirate fantasy RPG that's

1:15:38

on kind of the MMO light, you

1:15:41

know, side of things like it is very

1:15:43

like, here's an open world around you. You

1:15:46

can sail and do all these little quests,

1:15:48

but it's got a lot of these like,

1:15:51

and I'm just getting started again. I already played

1:15:53

the closed beta, so I'm kind of retreading, you

1:15:55

know, or re

1:15:58

navigating old waters. But But

1:16:01

it's like you go to sail

1:16:03

the seas and then you'll stop at a little

1:16:05

camp and you'll pick up a side mission to

1:16:08

get some materials which you bring back to town

1:16:10

and you craft things. So when

1:16:13

I'm playing it, I'm like, man, this is

1:16:15

practically an MMO if it was like a

1:16:17

dedicated server and you just were going around

1:16:19

crafting cannons for people. But

1:16:22

it is very, very focused on the

1:16:24

ship is your character and mainly

1:16:26

what you're focused on sailing around upgrading. So

1:16:29

it's all about you go from your tiny

1:16:31

ship and then you get a DPS class

1:16:33

ship because it is about ship battles. Then

1:16:35

you get a different type of DPS class

1:16:37

ship. You get multiple different types

1:16:40

of weapons and you start at the gray

1:16:42

rarity, but then you're actually upgrading.

1:16:44

It's not like drops so

1:16:47

much as finding crafting materials and stuff. So on

1:16:49

my ship, just as an example, I'm early on

1:16:51

in understanding better. I got a shotgun style demi

1:16:54

cannon or whatever on my right, my

1:16:56

starboard side, and then my left side, I got

1:16:59

my Culver level two, you know, DPS cannon on

1:17:01

the front of the bow and I put a

1:17:03

sniper if you want. And like, it's all about

1:17:05

positioning your ship and stuff like

1:17:07

that and upgrading it. But then you might want to

1:17:09

have a tank class ship because you're going to go

1:17:11

on on a mission and you need the space for it

1:17:14

and to deliver some goods. Right. So

1:17:16

you get the idea. It's got a lot of

1:17:18

different ship types, but then it's got the vanity elements,

1:17:21

which is all in the game. And that is

1:17:23

the difference here, right? It's like you are earning

1:17:25

coin in the game. Eventually you're going

1:17:27

to set up, I guess, trade routes. I don't know

1:17:29

how it works. So you can make money in the

1:17:31

background. And so you'll be earning money to

1:17:33

go. And now

1:17:36

you have this dope looking sail on

1:17:38

your ship and this more rare paint

1:17:40

job. And of course, you can deck

1:17:42

yourself out because your character can walk

1:17:44

around town and talk to people and

1:17:46

full third person. And I think people see that

1:17:48

and that's where they get confused. They're

1:17:50

like, wait, do you shoot and fight

1:17:52

people? I'm like, sword? No. They're

1:17:55

like, I'm confused because it looks quite good. It's a

1:17:57

full town and like it's fully. total

1:18:00

fidelity you'd expect of like walking around getting

1:18:02

your quest and stuff but that's just to

1:18:04

like talk to people and you know do

1:18:06

stuff at camp but everything takes place at

1:18:08

sea so anyway they're gonna

1:18:11

have a season I need

1:18:13

to get farther in to the beta to sea

1:18:15

but it doesn't even launch until Monday ish

1:18:18

I should say and that's early access just

1:18:21

a reminder please don't do early access unless

1:18:24

you are like confident you're buying the you

1:18:26

know the battle pass and like you're fully

1:18:28

in but even then it's

1:18:30

bad for business for gaming like predatory getting people

1:18:32

to be like man I want to play this

1:18:34

game and you're gonna be level like five by

1:18:36

the time I get in I'll just spend the

1:18:38

extra 20 bucks that's what they want you to

1:18:40

do and that sucks but um

1:18:42

yeah it's really not even out until next week in

1:18:44

full so there's a lot that I

1:18:46

have to learn but what I will say is

1:18:49

like it's scratching an itch for me yeah takes

1:18:51

me back to like before we were so spoiled

1:18:53

like we're talking about getting this game for free

1:18:55

I was just thinking I

1:18:58

was like you know I remember thinking before Sea

1:19:00

of Thieves even and I was like man I

1:19:02

would love to be like a pirate and like

1:19:04

sail around and these beautiful ocean waters were in

1:19:06

the East Indies and then upgrade my ship like

1:19:08

it's got all that you know but

1:19:10

I would like to check this out it's

1:19:12

a vibe oh you do like sea

1:19:15

shanties you can cue up your crew I heard

1:19:17

that last night yeah so it's a really cool

1:19:19

vibe so ultimately it's gonna come down

1:19:25

to the pace like I said if you got me

1:19:28

grinding for like 40 hours just so you can hopefully

1:19:30

give me to buy like the battle pass to grind

1:19:32

for another 40 and all of that's not

1:19:34

fun along the way that it's kind of like stretching it

1:19:36

out I will have things

1:19:38

to say but that also came to be a

1:19:40

vibe of thieves right is that it's just so

1:19:42

grindy like it's just yeah right up Lee grindy

1:19:45

that it just became like I just feel

1:19:47

like I'm just doing the same thing over and

1:19:50

over yeah that's my worry so we'll see how

1:19:52

much we can upgrade these ships and how much

1:19:54

we didn't have a deeper it's see a thieves

1:19:56

like experience does sound very appealing to me yeah

1:19:59

and more Realistic is maybe a better way to put

1:20:01

it like it's very like rooted in more

1:20:04

kind of a realist pirate. Yeah

1:20:07

There's something about Upgrading your ship

1:20:09

like the way you described it. I was like,

1:20:11

oh, yeah, I like Briar I was hearing you

1:20:13

like oh, yeah You put this turn in the

1:20:15

front and there's strategic like fighting whatever and then

1:20:17

you can upgrade it this way that way I'm

1:20:19

like, oh, it sounds awesome. Yeah, and you get

1:20:22

how deep it goes I don't know but they

1:20:24

even have like status effects, right so you can

1:20:26

get like blaze status I think or oh one

1:20:28

of them's like flood water status and they each

1:20:30

have different effects. You'll go up against Oh, there's

1:20:32

world events which I Suppose

1:20:34

they'd been out this one, but all and oh I

1:20:37

should have mentioned it is shared world, you know

1:20:39

Diablo ask and so I say Mmo light

1:20:41

there are people walking around town, you know

1:20:43

that are it's like you and that's the

1:20:45

whole point I see Lego in town Lego's got this

1:20:47

dope outfit and he's just walking around you can't even

1:20:49

fight right? But I want that outfit and then I

1:20:51

see a ship at sea Then

1:20:53

you can do PvP by the way. That's another

1:20:57

Choose to engage I believe in it But

1:20:59

like that we could go friend up and

1:21:01

go do this world event and get like

1:21:03

these goods. It's predicated on that. Oh Yeah,

1:21:07

and I'm sorry. I skipped the whole part of

1:21:09

because I thought people knew it's live service Ask

1:21:11

it it's all about a shared world. You might

1:21:13

have I don't know what the limit is but

1:21:16

like Six people out

1:21:18

at see you me him and we're all trying

1:21:20

to take this world event on So

1:21:23

yeah, like ships out there like take

1:21:25

it out. Yeah, he's awesome. Yeah,

1:21:27

and it's fleets of other ships to coming at

1:21:30

you. So Yeah, it'll

1:21:32

be interesting to see like where it goes

1:21:34

in depth and pace and all that So

1:21:37

yeah, it's a just go try it before Sunday

1:21:39

is the short message because then they're gonna start

1:21:42

charging you to try it out Oh and all

1:21:44

your progress carries over Yeah,

1:21:46

okay. So you got all your progress carries over it Yeah,

1:21:50

but it's on consoles the open beta as well

1:21:52

it's cross play with all that jazz, yeah So

1:21:55

we'll see I'm optimistic at least for

1:21:57

the game for a vibe and the map does look big And

1:22:00

it's beautiful. So we'll see It

1:22:03

all made me really want a version of this for

1:22:05

destiny We're talking about walking around town not be able

1:22:07

to do anything I was like it's like the tower

1:22:09

and I was like, oh man Imagine if like you

1:22:11

can customize your ships and do like it

1:22:14

like there was an offshoot game of destiny That

1:22:16

was just space battles. Oh,

1:22:18

yeah, you just go upgrade your ship and

1:22:20

that's all that it's about. Love it It

1:22:23

would be cool. Especially if if you could

1:22:26

bring in all the ships you've collected into that mode

1:22:28

or man

1:22:34

So Phil Spencer was on Twitter

1:22:37

He was talking about new event. I'm

1:22:39

gonna quote him here. He said we're

1:22:41

listening and we hear you We've

1:22:43

been planning a business update event for next

1:22:46

week We where we look forward

1:22:48

to sharing more details with you about our vision

1:22:50

for the future of Xbox stay tuned so

1:22:53

this is Tell

1:22:55

me what news could make of Xbox

1:22:57

fans burn their Xboxes and go out

1:22:59

and buy a PlayStation 5 immediately Indiana

1:23:02

Jones in the fantastic square

1:23:04

is Possibly

1:23:06

come into play say so

1:23:08

the Xbox fanboys here are

1:23:11

really really upset They

1:23:14

think oh have I selected the

1:23:16

wrong console this generation if all

1:23:19

of the Xbox Exclusives

1:23:21

are start gonna come to PlayStation Like

1:23:24

what's gonna happen to my beloved Xbox

1:23:27

brand that you know, I love

1:23:29

so much it loves me right back It's

1:23:33

true companies do love you individually

1:23:35

and carry on you even if you

1:23:37

don't have any money I

1:23:40

mean it is on the heels of

1:23:43

knowing right like we talked about high-five rush,

1:23:46

you know, most likely come on Right

1:23:48

and confirm. Yeah, yeah, that's

1:23:50

the rumor. But yeah, like everybody

1:23:53

was sort of like yeah I guess I could

1:23:55

see that and and some people though were like

1:23:57

no like that it interferes with like

1:23:59

its How dare you?

1:24:01

And now though that these reports are

1:24:03

bigger. Yeah on starfield, you know, there's

1:24:06

reports after the DLC hits maybe after

1:24:08

that You

1:24:10

know shortly it would come to Xbox and

1:24:12

halo maybe or is coming to PlayStation halo

1:24:14

may be coming Maybe maybe maybe

1:24:16

now everybody's confused and they have to address

1:24:19

it as the short. Yeah, I mean

1:24:23

This makes sense to me that they would do

1:24:25

this though, right? It's like I don't think the

1:24:28

Xbox is selling particularly well when

1:24:30

you compare it to the PlayStation

1:24:33

I can't remember what developer came out and said that

1:24:35

there's like one a One

1:24:38

to five sell-through ratio Xbox compared to

1:24:40

PlayStation on their third party game, which

1:24:43

was you know interesting interesting I

1:24:45

mean Phil zones words, right? I

1:24:49

mean he told he's like yeah,

1:24:51

we're not gonna catch up with PlayStation, right?

1:24:54

Like we already know they're not gonna suddenly

1:24:57

have some giant release bigger than

1:24:59

starfield It's cells like that are

1:25:01

great. It's it's over this generation,

1:25:03

but that's not like You

1:25:06

know, that's not to say they're not gonna keep supporting the

1:25:08

ecosystem and make more hardware I also

1:25:10

feel like consumer sentiment on game pass has been

1:25:12

starting to take a downturn Lately

1:25:15

really I feel like that

1:25:17

was like, you know, it seemed like such

1:25:19

a good deal at first But the catalog

1:25:21

I feel like they don't have the big

1:25:23

smash hits that PlayStation seems to get You

1:25:26

know, I mean and even though you know

1:25:28

PlayStation doesn't have a well They have a

1:25:31

game pass competitor, I suppose but it's not

1:25:33

nearly as good as game pass. No, yeah,

1:25:35

but it's I Just

1:25:38

feel like there's these long stretches of time where

1:25:40

like Oh the next big one is red fall

1:25:42

then red fall comes out and it's a it's

1:25:45

a flop Okay, the next

1:25:47

big one is starfield and starfield comes

1:25:49

out and mixed

1:25:51

reviews like it, you know, it's just like

1:25:54

game pass just doesn't seem to like Yeah,

1:25:59

but see but that's interesting That's like I get the

1:26:01

perception but like game pass is so much bigger

1:26:03

than that and like every time Somebody

1:26:06

says that it's like the reality is like

1:26:08

is it on game pass? Oh, I'll just

1:26:10

play it there Like it's more about that

1:26:12

than it is. Yeah, the exclusives which I

1:26:15

mean, but it says something about Xbox You're

1:26:17

right. You're like people aren't talking about the

1:26:19

exclusives, right? There's no it doesn't feel like

1:26:21

in the original Xbox days in the 360

1:26:23

days 360 was

1:26:26

obviously their most popular console, right

1:26:28

and they just had these massive

1:26:30

franchises, you know, Forza Halo

1:26:33

Gears of War I'm

1:26:35

sure there are more than I'm just not thinking of

1:26:37

but they don't just don't have that kind of thing

1:26:40

right now They said I mean Halo still exists Gears

1:26:42

of War still exists, but it's not nearly the the

1:26:45

you know, man Starfield is a pop

1:26:48

culture phenomenon that it was. Yeah, I

1:26:50

mean starfield is massive But it didn't write

1:26:53

the other ones fell into the like can

1:26:55

do no wrong almost overall Like

1:26:57

they were always in that nine really it is

1:26:59

that nine out of ten feel right and we

1:27:01

haven't felt that Yeah, it's like

1:27:03

what? PlayStation has you know, you're

1:27:06

gonna be getting a God of War

1:27:08

and spider-man and Final Fantasy 7 and

1:27:10

you know that you're getting like Not

1:27:13

just exclusive game, but you know, you're getting

1:27:15

like some of the top tier games that

1:27:17

we've seen So it's yeah,

1:27:19

you know PlayStation fanboys are Kind

1:27:22

of complaining about the same thing where their games are

1:27:24

coming to PC and they're like Yeah

1:27:28

But also game pass. I feel like there's

1:27:31

a there's a a value

1:27:33

proposition Okay, so if you if

1:27:35

you have a big PlayStation

1:27:37

library That

1:27:39

stays with you right but paying

1:27:42

months after month for game pass That

1:27:45

doesn't stick with you. There's no intrinsic

1:27:47

value there unless you continue to maintain

1:27:49

that Subscription right

1:27:51

so if for

1:27:53

instance game paths were to become more

1:27:56

available Or if you were

1:27:58

to just switch over to PC, but what? game

1:28:00

pass comes to Nintendo Switch and

1:28:02

the PlayStation, like

1:28:04

what reason do you have at that point

1:28:06

to have an Xbox? But

1:28:11

that's what this is predicated on is like

1:28:13

the love of the console. Like

1:28:15

I'm a huge Xbox fan. Like

1:28:17

that's just fanboy bullshit. But that is

1:28:19

what this is mostly right?

1:28:21

Meaning it's I assume that

1:28:24

one number one quite honestly it's

1:28:26

like the ego side of

1:28:29

like I want I love this right?

1:28:31

I love Xbox. I bleed green you

1:28:33

know? Right. Meaning I don't want to

1:28:35

feel buyer's remorse. But it's no

1:28:38

yeah well okay that's fair.

1:28:40

Like meaning are they doing well enough that I

1:28:42

can always count on them for that next big

1:28:45

hit right? So I get that. But what I'm

1:28:47

really getting at is like if

1:28:51

you still get the games and

1:28:53

they keep supporting Xbox with hardware

1:28:55

and the ecosystem the software like

1:28:57

if they give you all the

1:28:59

same features why does the

1:29:01

number matter how many consoles they sold right? And

1:29:03

I'm not saying well it has doesn't have any

1:29:05

impact on it. At what point does Microsoft say

1:29:07

all right Xbox division you know we

1:29:10

spent 50 million

1:29:13

50 billion dollars on all these

1:29:15

acquisitions when do we start to

1:29:17

see return? When does that happen? I

1:29:21

mean Microsoft is not I

1:29:23

mean we heard rumors years

1:29:25

ago that they were thinking about selling the Xbox

1:29:27

division right? I don't know how true that

1:29:30

was but like

1:29:32

it could happen. It's not outside the realm of

1:29:34

possibility. But

1:29:36

this discredits like they

1:29:39

do have some really good games right?

1:29:41

It's because I think it's the nine out

1:29:43

of ten but like like

1:29:45

honestly oh PVP is dope you know? And

1:29:47

again whether these things are multi-platform in the

1:29:49

future varies. Starfield has a ton of fans.

1:29:51

You know HiFi Rush was dope. That was

1:29:53

over a year ago. Forza is

1:29:55

like top of its kind overall right? And

1:29:58

there's a there's a list of other you

1:30:00

can put on there. It's not like they don't have

1:30:03

a pretty solid library. It's just they don't have

1:30:05

that feeling that you're talking about

1:30:07

the next big naughty dog game. But I

1:30:09

mean, Andy will hopefully

1:30:11

prove us wrong on that one, but

1:30:13

that could be one of the first really big ones.

1:30:15

That would be great. I hope so. I

1:30:18

also, I never want to see

1:30:20

Microsoft leave the console. The

1:30:22

more competitors there are in this space, the

1:30:24

healthier it is for the consumer,

1:30:27

right? There's more competition. There's more,

1:30:29

hopefully more money coming into it,

1:30:31

right? Like there's just more good

1:30:34

stuff. I'm kind of

1:30:36

surprised that the uproar is coming as

1:30:39

the games are finding out that they're moving

1:30:41

over rather than like, as

1:30:43

the games come out being unsatisfied with your

1:30:45

choice of console. Like I wish I would

1:30:47

have gotten a PlayStation so I could have

1:30:49

played God of War or Spider-Man or something

1:30:51

like that. Versus like now they're

1:30:53

getting upset. Now that some of these games

1:30:55

are talking about coming to

1:30:57

PlayStation, it just, it make, the

1:31:00

only thing I can think of is it makes them feel

1:31:02

like, oh, I should

1:31:04

have got a PlayStation because I

1:31:06

could have eventually played some

1:31:08

of the games I had now. I don't know, just

1:31:10

the logic doesn't even make a whole lot of sense

1:31:13

as to why, like, why

1:31:15

someone should get upset about

1:31:17

this. Yeah. I mean,

1:31:20

I think there's like confidence in the

1:31:22

ecosystem and there's a lot of like,

1:31:24

right? Will they keep delivering on the

1:31:26

quality of the console that I bought? I mean, I

1:31:28

assume it's mostly that and all the time you've invested

1:31:31

in it. But I think

1:31:33

we should also draw back to like, first of all, we don't

1:31:35

know. These are some leaks that

1:31:37

were out there. Obviously something's going on because

1:31:39

again, the Hi-Fi rush seems to be a

1:31:42

poorly kept, you know, secret and now Phil

1:31:44

saying, we're going to talk about it. But I

1:31:46

think it's still ultimately predicated on not

1:31:48

like, it's not like they're talking about

1:31:50

releasing. Let's say it's indie is

1:31:53

going to come to PlayStation. Let's assume that for a

1:31:55

second. They're not saying it's going to release day

1:31:57

and date. It could literally be six months later.

1:31:59

And they're. So what you're in lies the big question. Let's

1:32:02

say they were Nintendo and it was Tears of

1:32:04

the Kingdom and you had to wait six

1:32:06

months. Like what is the real impact? Right?

1:32:10

It's not like they're saying no, I don't care. I don't

1:32:12

care. But

1:32:15

let's say you're the biggest fan and you always

1:32:18

buy like the latest Xbox console. Right.

1:32:21

I do always buy the latest Xbox. But are you willing

1:32:23

to wait six months and I'd be like no. I'm

1:32:26

going to buy it on Xbox. If it comes out early on

1:32:28

Xbox, I'm buying India on Xbox because I'm a huge indie fan.

1:32:30

I can't wait. Like that

1:32:34

is me. That's what I want to do. Yeah.

1:32:36

And I'm just trying to make the point that like the

1:32:38

timing matters a lot. We see that with a lot of

1:32:40

games like Sony makes

1:32:42

you wait year, year and a half,

1:32:44

two years just to bring it to PC. They're

1:32:47

ultra protective. Like honestly,

1:32:50

I dislike that a ton because I

1:32:52

want to play it in higher fidelity

1:32:54

on like PC and they're fully capable

1:32:56

of making that happen. But we're left

1:32:58

waiting. But anyway, the point is like

1:33:00

they're still highly successful exclusives. It's

1:33:04

probably more if you're willing to wait. And

1:33:07

yeah, all the Xbox games are already on PC. So

1:33:09

there's a ton of other people playing it

1:33:12

outside console already. Yeah.

1:33:15

Yeah. Every time now. Right. I mean, you also do have to

1:33:17

think about that. Right. Like they

1:33:20

release on PC at the same time. Sony's not even willing

1:33:22

to do that. Yeah. Which

1:33:26

pisses me off, like I said, like 30

1:33:31

frames. Spider-Man, you know, I'll take

1:33:33

60. Do

1:33:35

you guys want to do some Twitter questions real

1:33:37

quick? Let's do them. Let's

1:33:39

do it. I'm sorry. I was not prepared. Oops.

1:33:48

That'd be awesome if the podcast ended right

1:33:50

there. Oh, whoops. Right.

1:33:54

Orbital strike. Kizuke

1:33:58

Rahara says. Lego was

1:34:00

mentioning he is terrible at remembering names. So I

1:34:03

was curious What's the most embarrassing

1:34:05

thing that's happened about forgetting a name? It's

1:34:08

all started with Mylon forgetting Legos name for

1:34:10

a minute Wait

1:34:16

your real name or just Lego no, no we

1:34:18

he was just talking about DCP for a second

1:34:20

on the stream and and he was like, you

1:34:23

know true vanguard and and Hold

1:34:27

on guys Fusion rifle guy why did

1:34:29

I not? I

1:34:38

Suffer from this too. I've got like several

1:34:40

kind of like tricks to try and help

1:34:43

me but sometimes I mean it happens

1:34:45

with everything I'm just a big dumb dummy. So

1:34:47

I forget all sorts of stuff like mid sentence. I'll

1:34:49

forget what I was talking about Same

1:34:51

like yeah, there's a what? No, it's gone And

1:34:54

we are content creators But

1:34:58

the worst that's ever happened to me

1:35:00

is that I ran into a girlfriend

1:35:02

that we had only broken Oh, no,

1:35:05

and like the name just wasn't there Wouldn't

1:35:13

that be more embarrassing for her that's like

1:35:15

a dunk on her. Oh, yeah, you're

1:35:17

you meant so little I don't even remember your name But

1:35:20

that wasn't true. That's I know I reflected

1:35:22

on her It was just me if you

1:35:24

wanted to don't gone or if you could

1:35:26

talk like that. That's a rough one I

1:35:30

felt bad about it, right? I felt that it

1:35:32

was like completely obvious because you know Like when

1:35:34

somebody walks up and you're hanging out with somebody

1:35:36

else and you want to say oh, hi Jim

1:35:39

This is Tony Tony to Jim and I was

1:35:41

like I started that I was like hey

1:35:50

That's so bad My

1:35:54

best friend actually, yeah, I just call

1:35:56

him buddy. Um, don't know what you

1:35:58

want you to call you That's when

1:36:00

you get in exactly you're like this. Oh

1:36:02

you You

1:36:07

just like they know though because like the look

1:36:09

on your face and you forget a name is

1:36:11

everybody knows you don't know Yeah,

1:36:13

I have a famous one where like I

1:36:15

just had met like one of my friends

1:36:17

friends Her name Susan a

1:36:20

bunch like it every like sort of gathering,

1:36:22

but it's only like every six to twelve

1:36:24

months But for years right every

1:36:26

time I just I never am prepared When

1:36:29

I leave to remember the name and I come

1:36:31

back to six to twelve months I to see

1:36:34

them again and every time like clockwork like oh

1:36:37

Crap like it. I know who she is, but I don't know what her

1:36:39

name is Every time and it

1:36:41

became like a joke that everybody there knew that

1:36:43

I was gonna do it So they're just waiting

1:36:45

to be like hey Fran. How's it going? And

1:36:48

she'd like walk up and I was like, what's

1:36:50

up? Oh my god, what a disaster So

1:36:58

mine's pretty similar To

1:37:01

the time link that you

1:37:03

would go without seeing I first of all, I'm terrible

1:37:05

like so So bad with

1:37:07

names just cannot like my mind will just

1:37:10

empty information that I'm not using and just

1:37:12

delete it Like I just it's not there.

1:37:14

I can't find it. Yeah, that's gone. And

1:37:16

so I There

1:37:19

were these friends that got married about the time me and my wife

1:37:21

did but it was the same kind of thing like we'd See them

1:37:23

every six months or so like that. We weren't, you know, we're on

1:37:26

good terms It was just each other every once in a while

1:37:28

So really it's some point we were

1:37:30

like we should actually like hang out with them

1:37:32

You know like we should do something and so

1:37:34

when you're like slightly acquainted with somebody it gets

1:37:36

real weird because you know them Like like on

1:37:38

Instagram or whatever, you know social media and and

1:37:41

then so they come over and we're like hanging

1:37:43

out and everything's cool Like everything's going

1:37:45

good and we'd hung out with them maybe once before

1:37:47

but then we get to a point

1:37:49

in the conversation where they're like Yeah,

1:37:52

so So and so and

1:37:54

they mentioned some name and like did this in

1:37:56

the house, whatever the other day and I was

1:37:58

like So? So is

1:38:01

that y'all's cat do y'all the cat like

1:38:03

that cuz they were talking about their

1:38:05

cat earlier And they're like that's

1:38:07

our daughter I

1:38:13

kid you not Like I

1:38:15

could not recover I

1:38:17

didn't know like like I knew I

1:38:19

knew that they had kids too I

1:38:21

just completely forgot the name completely forgot

1:38:23

everything and then like I

1:38:25

just wrote I was like I didn't

1:38:27

like I My mind

1:38:29

just blanked y'all I'm so sorry and and

1:38:31

then like it just got awkward And then

1:38:34

we like finished the night and I swear we

1:38:36

like haven't hung out since then like and that

1:38:38

was like five years ago I haven't

1:38:41

talked to them. Oh Like

1:38:45

that's great that you consider your

1:38:47

cat your daughter. That's really yeah Yeah

1:38:53

It's just the curse of ADHD It's

1:38:56

like it's like when your your mind just blanks for

1:38:58

a second and you miss that thing They're talking about

1:39:00

and you try to jump back in and you're like

1:39:02

oh Yeah, and then it'd be good

1:39:04

like oh now it's been so long. I could have

1:39:06

asked right away Can you repeat that in quite here

1:39:08

the name? Yeah, that was been too long. That's awkward

1:39:12

And now it's just like I could never ask because it's been

1:39:15

Yeah Yeah,

1:39:18

so in my mind did that thing

1:39:20

spell that again Yeah, your

1:39:22

daughter Bob

1:39:24

BOB Not

1:39:34

forgetful I Tried

1:39:37

like when people think as

1:39:39

like you remembering stuff is caring

1:39:42

about them But it's like

1:39:44

I just remember man. I just yeah,

1:39:46

I care about you deeply. I've noticed

1:39:48

can't remember exactly. Yeah When

1:39:51

that couple left I like tried to ask my wife I was like

1:39:53

was that like that wasn't that bad, right? Like we recovered it a

1:39:55

little bit. She was like that was that

1:39:58

was the worst going

1:40:00

back from that. I would have found it

1:40:02

funny for sure. So yeah

1:40:04

when Mylan forgot my name I was like oh

1:40:06

that that's nothing. I'll go I'll take it.

1:40:08

Blaney McBlanderson

1:40:16

says you become a

1:40:18

world-class athlete in one of

1:40:21

the following off-brand sports. Which

1:40:23

do you choose? Number one

1:40:25

cheese rolling where you chase a wheel

1:40:27

of cheese down a hill. Number

1:40:31

two is combat juggling. Jugglers try

1:40:33

to smack each other's pins out

1:40:35

of their hands. Or

1:40:37

three, tech ball which is

1:40:39

a ping pong soccer combo.

1:40:42

Which if you've ever seen

1:40:44

tech ball is incredibly impressive.

1:40:47

It is. They're literally for the other day.

1:40:49

But with a soccer

1:40:51

ball and only using their feet

1:40:54

like using soccer rules on a

1:40:56

ping pong table. It's spelled TEQ

1:40:58

ball and it's holy smokes. It's

1:41:01

insane. Oh yeah. And when

1:41:04

people do like front flips to hit it to the

1:41:06

other side like this like upside down kick the ball

1:41:08

in it. Oh man it's

1:41:11

insane. Yeah incredibly athletic. That's the

1:41:13

one I choose. If we

1:41:15

yeah. I'm

1:41:17

sure you go with the cheese. Yeah.

1:41:19

The cheese rolling looks so dangerous. Yeah

1:41:22

it does. Did you see this in

1:41:24

person? Or what? Like on TV? Yeah.

1:41:35

France said you saw it. I

1:41:38

saw there was a documentary on it.

1:41:40

I feel like I saw it some Netflix

1:41:43

documentary on like every year they do this

1:41:45
