0:42

morning video games! Welcome to Filthy

0:44

Casuals, a podcast about video games

0:46

hosted by three very kind and

0:48

extremely knowledgeable boys. Thank

0:51

you very much for joining us. My name

0:53

is Tommy Dasolo and joining me, as always...

0:56

It's Ben Vanell and joining us,

0:58

as always... It's

1:00

Adam Knox. That's right. Can

1:03

I tell you, I'm hot today. It's

1:05

raining and shit here in Melbourne where

1:07

we are. It's raining so much for

1:10

a Midsummer's Day. It's

1:12

pretty wild. I don't know

1:14

if it's Niño or Niña right now, but it's one of them.

1:17

We were meant to have Niño, I think. Niño

1:19

is the dry hot one, I believe. That's

1:21

the one when an ambulance drives past. Niño,

1:23

Niño, Niño, Niño. Because it's so

1:25

dry and hot, people were just bursting into flames in

1:27

the middle of the street. Send a fire truck too!

1:31

But it was really hot

1:33

overnight and I woke up with... I'd kicked

1:35

every corner of the sheets. Like, they'd all

1:37

rolled off the... I was tossing. You better

1:39

believe I was turning. You

1:41

went burrito mode. I was

1:43

metamorphosising and I came out a fucking sweaty, disgusting,

1:46

stinky butterfly. You were wrapped up like a little

1:49

enchilada. One of those little caterpillars you

1:51

think is going to turn into a butterfly, but it comes

1:53

out as just like a slug. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It

1:56

7:03

that's not so wix a good as it

7:05

is. That Cp uncle that lives by Monica

7:07

the I Get Engaged man's body could be

7:09

a game you could play if you're playing

7:12

the role of a little boy and a

7:14

school bus. The Grand Theft Auto Five Roleplaying

7:16

Service soviets hey be read through in a

7:18

little bit of Punch Buggy and that bed

7:20

with you get into a certain car at

7:23

least in the older ones. It was that

7:25

the that car would show up. A lot.

7:27

and Grand Theft Auto if you stole

7:29

that one out it into the memory

7:32

already ride big. you would see a

7:34

lot of instances of that. Maybe rare

7:36

cards suddenly be drive everywhere if you

7:39

could more the game. So with all

7:41

punch buddies oh absolutely threat Sigma see

7:43

that he had this at all. That

7:53

I I saw it were more reading the

8:00

the pain yeah but he's bringing the pie

8:02

that's what he saw in England over here.

8:05

we call him dinner pain or by why

8:07

8:13

does com with a pine yet but

8:16

it's not a him and day his.

8:19

Colorful Rogues Gallery of Bosses A T and

T C D boss and he saw Robe.

8:24

This is a Metal Gear Solid Three don't

8:30

of you who actually tad that I

8:32

8:34

towards shit about engagement and sovereignty and

8:36

then it gets is a mental disability and

8:39

a references effect. Three pains been. Of up

8:41

a prominent figure in the Grand Theft Auto

8:43

Roleplaying community with the an enormous that like

8:45

a lot of people in it's Be Gone

8:47

on which and what have i s ah

8:49

there a specific service and like mods that

9:02

that is made some of these modes

9:05

has since been hired by Rock Star

9:07

to work on T V. I succeeded

9:09

or which is a smart move on

9:11

their Bovary Counter Strike of Them, Rights

9:13

and T Pain before. This was why

9:15

he confirmed recently that he is working

9:18

in some capacity on Grand Theft Auto

9:20

Six. Yes, and he would. That's why

9:22

he was no longer people noticed his

9:24

absence from the Grand Theft Auto roleplaying

9:26

things as someone like he pivoted from

9:28

being. A musician and like guess the on every

9:31

songs to just being on Twitch aimed like five

9:33

six seven years ago. I think he's one of

9:35

those classic cases of like I made my money

9:37

Yeah, yeah, what the fuck would I take. Still

9:39

a still pop or not he did a tiny

9:41

desk and. Mps Honey, they are. I really loved

10:24

Necessarily know in the full history of

10:26

t pain in the Grand Theft Auto

10:28

roleplaying communities, as is probably the healthy

10:30

thing to do. It was real silver,

10:32

that millennial sign of make sense of

10:34

the Zuma had learned. A

10:37

certain I of never heard Silverback Mohammed and that

10:39

13:35

school of cool woman on the street a

13:37

set the to yeah pasta yard dog

13:39

as far what Stand up is now as

13:41

I thought about a fight what's that up

13:43

his as fuck what is popular in

13:45

stand up on the about my ruff specific

13:48

rules that with i have met flight

13:50

ah that the the the idea that you

13:52

could get a crab or comedian the com

13:54

in a do a different line. for

13:56

each custom character bit of

13:59

clothing oh How would that happen

14:01

to your custom character? That

14:03

would be pretty fun. Did they make him for men next? Did

14:05

they make him for men next? Did they make him for men

14:07

next? Matt,

14:10

could you... I don't know why

14:12

we're over the radio rather than pushing the button in the

14:14

studio, but could you come up with anything else? No, you

14:16

literally aren't able to come up with anything else. Oh, okay.

14:19

You've reached the extent of your abilities. Here's

14:21

$7 million then for now. Over. Roger,

14:26

Wilco. It would be cool if... Your name's

14:28

Wilco, right? Yeah, I'm just joking. Remember when people

14:30

found out that part of the reason why a lot of those Pokémon

14:32

games kind of run like shit is because... Remember

14:34

there was that thing where someone found out, like, you know,

14:36

if you have a bush in a game that you've animated,

14:40

every time a little bush comes up, you're telling the

14:42

game, replicate that original one, and someone went into the

14:44

code and found that it was generating

14:47

it new every time. Oh, okay, yeah. Just all these little

14:49

things where it's like Game Freak are a little bit dodgy.

14:51

It'd be great if GTA 6 comes out and it

14:53

just runs like absolute shit because there's 48,000 different

14:56

takes of Matt Rife saying. Do they make them for

14:59

men? Just loop the

15:01

same line again. No, no, no, they're all subtly

15:03

different. You need

15:05

the different ones for the pink shirt and then you

15:08

need a different one for the singlet. They've

15:10

all got their own flavor to them. People love

15:12

Pokémon even though it runs like shit. If you like things

15:14

that run like shit, then you're gonna love me. Oh,

15:17

I run poorly. I'm not good at

15:19

it. Speaking of running, take

15:21

two are running with a really weak

15:23

little lawsuit idea. Yay! And

15:26

then the Rockstar as well. Take two are

15:28

taking Remedy for people who made Alan Wake

15:30

to court because their logo

15:32

they think looks too similar to Rockstar's

15:34

logo because both of them are just

15:37

an R. Just a capital R. Yeah.

15:40

I mean, well, Rockstar has a star and

15:42

Remedy, I believe, has the word Remedy under

15:44

the R, right? It's got the R

15:46

and I think the new one is like it's an R kind of. It

15:49

used to be an R with a bullet through it. Oh,

15:52

yeah. Could Max Payne.

15:54

That mirrors and repeats. Yeah,

15:56

it's like a little jittery sort of. Oh, right.

15:59

Well, and the Rockstar wanted it. It's an R with a little

16:01

star attached to it, isn't it? Yeah. So that's not

16:03

even a letter. That's not even really

16:05

the R. Yeah. Now this is going

16:07

to be like- I reckon they should hire you,

16:09

I guess, because it's the real boy of bullshit.

16:11

Yeah. The Jackie Child video game lawsuit. Because,

16:14

yeah, the little star-effectual. I'd tell you to put

16:16

the star on the letter. Nobody would think that that's

16:18

an R. It has a star on it. An R doesn't have a star. Yeah,

16:23

just stupid. Great stuff, though.

16:26

I doubt they will get anything out of

16:28

it. But it's probably one of those cases

16:30

where a lot of these type of frivolous

16:32

intellectual property lawsuits that seem frivolous are because

16:34

you legally have to do it

16:36

to keep your claim to your thing. And

16:38

to some extent, I've been told before by

16:40

people who know me. It's going to be

16:42

like, don't Cadbury own a certain shade of

16:44

purple? I'm sure that McDonald's has that

16:46

type of M. It's

16:49

just a silly design to make your logo a letter,

16:52

I think, as well. I don't like those logos,

16:54

generally, anyway. But also, logos don't really matter. I

16:58

mean, I'm pretty sure Paris Hilton trademarked that's

17:00

hot. Yeah,

17:02

she did or she was going to. And it was around

17:04

the same time that Donald Trump was going to trademark. Yes,

17:07

I did. Yeah. I think the Kardashians

17:09

tried to trademark the letter K, and

17:11

they weren't able to. Oh, right. Right.

17:13

Yeah. The fuck? Sorry, someone actually already

17:16

owns that, and you're not going to be pleased with

17:18

who it is. It's the

17:20

lawsuit of the century. The

17:22

Kardashians Viva Clan. Who do I side

17:24

with? Honestly,

17:27

which one's more egregious? Well,

17:30

I know which one. So

17:36

yeah, that's kind of a weird thing, but there's nothing

17:38

really more to it. I don't think it'll really

17:40

go anywhere, but it's kind of funny. Do you

17:42

think we should try and trademark Filthy Casuals and

17:44

get in a big lawsuit with that company that

17:46

the most third already has the trademark? Yeah. Already

17:48

has it, and maybe doesn't exist anymore. I mean,

17:50

if we've got too much money, then we could.

17:52

Which we do not. It could have been. few

18:00

times I saw people walking around wearing a t-shirt that said

18:02

feel the cash and I thought oh that's nice yeah oh

18:04

hang on that's a

18:06

t-shirt we've never made and

18:09

that if it were made I would have drawn

18:12

yeah never did because they

18:16

love the pod yeah we're not making

18:18

our own t-shirt I know other rubs

18:20

I do think that some people at

18:22

PAX did see it I think

18:24

maybe more recently because that brand used

18:26

to be bigger and more like right

18:28

oh I assumed it was you guys

18:30

like well that brand did

18:32

you buy it which is why if I

18:35

see comments saying filthy casuals fell off I

18:37

go oh and then I go oh and

18:39

then I realized yeah we also

18:42

there were there were some other podcasts called filthy casuals

18:45

when we started we've outlasted all

18:47

of it if we had

18:49

our time again I wouldn't go with that name

18:51

again yeah what would we go with the Beatles

18:53

this is why we landed on it because it

18:55

ends up being too difficult to come up with

18:57

any name yeah that's why there's so many people

19:00

named mark and shit because it's like oh what

19:02

else do you do yeah yeah no shade to

19:04

mark yeah I'm an Adam one of the worst

19:06

ones that's my that's my uncle's

19:08

name and I came out of the gates Christmas morning

19:10

and said by the way I've over told you terrible

19:12

name Adam no mark you've

19:15

got the name you've got there uncle mark

19:17

no offense how did you spell it

19:19

with a K or a C with a K with a

19:21

C is a bit of fun yeah exactly yeah tempting

19:25

faith and that ah is getting risky so

19:27

he's gonna have to be ma oh he's

19:30

a Mac

19:33

you get the hard R out of there

19:35

but yeah no you can't have the K

19:37

in there but you can't be called Mac

19:39

why he'd have to change his name to

19:41

Sephora or something it's a yeah oh yeah

19:45

anyway that's that's what the company V Mac

19:47

DeMarco now that'd be

19:50

good okay nothing he

19:52

ends up owning just DeMarco and then

19:54

mark has to be like ah fuck

19:57

yeah now I'm just oh no

19:59

that's the wrong way around around. But

20:02

yeah, junk, junk, absolute junk lawsuit.

20:06

Yeah, this is like all the, you know, the

20:08

like, all the music stuff that happens where it's

20:10

like, um, this has ripped off.

20:12

Oh, this melody is similar to this

20:14

one. So even though that artist is

20:16

dead and they might not have cared too much. I'm

20:19

gonna come after you. It's some

20:21

of those are about the most unmusical parts of

20:23

it. I fucking hate those. Yeah. And

20:25

they're all so sleazy and deliberately.

20:28

Fuck. Yeah. They just

20:30

want to get the royalties. They don't want to, it's

20:32

not for artistic credibility. What are they? The fucking God,

20:35

I wish I knew the name of the guy

20:37

who assassinated Franz Ferdinand. Get

20:39

the royalties. All right. Um, archduke.

20:43

No, that's the guy who got shot. Yeah. Oh,

20:46

wasn't the guy who killed Franz Ferdinand,

20:48

Archduke Franz Ferdinand? Yeah. Yeah. He

20:51

killed himself. Yeah. He

20:53

killed himself by being, by, by being the kind

20:55

of person that someone would want to assassinate. He

20:57

took himself out. Yeah. Georgios something.

20:59

I don't remember. No, no way

21:02

of knowing. There's abs, and, and

21:04

there's no other royalties who've been

21:06

assassinated. Not yet. Give

21:08

me time. Thankfully, uh, no one listening

21:10

to this will know the answer. So it's not like

21:12

we're going to get messages about it. No, no, they never

21:14

found out he got away with it. Yeah. Speaking

21:17

of getting away with it, uh,

21:19

I reckon Ubisoft have gotten away with what

21:21

I thought mistakenly was going to be

21:23

a shit game. So did I. You think they're

21:25

getting away with it? It seems like they're about

21:27

to get away with it. It is getting pretty

21:30

reasonable reviews, not make a shit game. Like I

21:32

didn't realize it was the team. We're talking about

21:34

Prince of Persia. The. Yes.

21:38

Something. Now a glass or something.

21:40

No. Well, no, you're right that it's the lost

21:43

crown. Yes. Oh, speaking of getting shot

21:45

at a royalty. It is like that they've had to sit

21:47

there and give it a subtitle, but it's like people are

21:49

just going to call this the new Prince of Persia. Yeah.

21:53

They are the

21:55

team who did like Rayman legend. Yeah.

21:57

And the Rayman game. Uh, had no idea.

21:59

about that just purely from the look of

22:01

it was very had written

22:03

this off in my head yeah me too

22:05

and it's getting some early rave reports yeah

22:08

yeah first first hit of the year it's

22:10

about to get another one I've been

22:12

playing a bit of it and I really like it wow

22:16

the rumors are true you put the ball on

22:18

the tea yeah so I didn't realize this had

22:20

one of those super additions that you get early

22:22

access you've been playing

22:24

the full version already yeah I did the demo

22:26

the demo is kind of a little it's a

22:28

little slice of it so it's like a it's not

22:31

the very beginning and it doesn't carry over it's a

22:33

little bit of the way in some bits

22:35

are blocked off you've kind of got it sort of

22:37

gives you like more of the abilities than you sort

22:39

of have at that part of the game to just

22:42

let you kind of zip around and

22:44

get a proper feel for it right

22:46

which is smart yeah yeah I played

22:48

the demo yeah yeah it's not that

22:50

bit isn't too far in

22:52

really but it's very

22:54

short as well yeah yeah it just gives

22:56

you a little flavor of bit

22:58

of combat a bit of the like yeah

23:01

zipping around jumping around but yeah I'm

23:03

I don't know quite how long I've

23:06

been playing it for but I'm up

23:08

to I guess like a second boss okay

23:10

probably so I'm getting a bit of the

23:12

way through and yeah it's a

23:15

it's a pretty

23:17

straight-up Metroidvania and maybe

23:19

it's the fact that I have always

23:21

liked that genre and there hasn't really well

23:23

I haven't played like a new one

23:26

feels like there hasn't it feels like there was a

23:28

point where nearly every game that came out certainly

23:30

Indies were all Metroidvanias yeah it feels like it's been

23:32

a while since there's been kind of like a big

23:34

one that sort of landed on the map you know

23:36

been a lot of them around but I think that

23:39

they're not getting the same hot

23:41

attention that yeah do as well because I think

23:43

Metroid Dread was yeah that's true yeah that was

23:45

like yeah obviously the originators coming back and like

23:47

you guys like that game right like yeah I

23:49

loved it yeah all right here we go we

23:51

put our stamp back on this genre and probably

23:53

the last one that I that I really sunk

23:56

a lot of time into it's one of those

23:58

things too where so many games have those elements

24:00

in them now when you might not think of

24:02

them in specifically that bucket. Yeah,

24:04

you get new abilities and then you can get into this bit.

24:08

It's the more like you finding heaps

24:10

and heaps and heaps of little areas that

24:12

are blocked off to you and I mean

24:14

that to me that's what like a true

24:16

one is. Huge map that

24:18

you can, you're not segmented into

24:21

areas, it's one huge map and

24:23

you're yeah constantly going around

24:25

and bumping into little like, oh I can't jump high enough for

24:27

that or... It's a Mickey Mouse

24:29

game that came out last year, kind of

24:31

one. And like, blasphemous 2 and things

24:33

like that have sort of come out and been that type of thing.

24:36

But yeah, like this is also one

24:38

and has the thing

24:41

that I've always done with these but integrated

24:44

in instead of having to get your phone out.

24:46

This is the coolest, one of the

24:48

cool things about the sound of this game to me. There's

24:50

a function where you can take photos in the

24:53

game of bits that you know will be

24:55

something you'll want to come back to later and it will

24:57

like place them on the map. Yeah, you get a little,

24:59

it's a little power up that you get and you

25:01

are limited, you've got like a finite number

25:03

of them, you can't just do it like willy nilly. So

25:05

you, which is cool because it adds into it a thing

25:07

of like you sort of having to prioritise

25:09

certain areas. But yeah, it's so

25:12

handy because a lot of the

25:14

times in these games,

25:16

yeah, I find I get a new

25:18

ability and I'm like, great, I can go back to that

25:20

bit and then I spend maybe an hour

25:22

just walking around trying to find where the bit was

25:24

that I needed the double jump for which is, you

25:28

know, the like the trial and error and

25:30

the exploring of these games is fun, but

25:32

they're just not being able to find something because you

25:34

just can't really place where it is on the map

25:36

and then having to do all these combat sections that

25:39

you've already done and all that kind of stuff. That's,

25:41

you know, that's not fun. That sucks the fun out

25:43

of it. So yeah, it's such a, it's such a

25:46

great idea that it is kind of crazy

25:48

that it's taken this long for someone to

25:50

implement in one of these games. It's weird

25:52

and that was a thing that just sort

25:54

of like summed up the, oh cool, if

25:57

they're approaching it with this point of view

25:59

that like. And yeah, all

26:01

those reports have been that like, do

26:04

you tell me? Yeah, I guess. That's good. You

26:06

can hear one of those reports right now if

26:08

you'd like. It is maybe because they are, because

26:10

they came from like pure platform as this development

26:13

team. It's like coming to this genre with an

26:15

outside view and being like, oh yeah, maybe I

26:17

never really enjoyed them because I couldn't do that,

26:19

pin that thing and remember where to go back.

26:21

It's just such a nice fresh perspective. Yeah, so

26:24

it's got such a, like

26:27

the movement is so tight, you're

26:30

zipping around, you're hanging off walls.

26:35

You're dashing in the air. Dashing in the

26:37

air. You grab little poles and swinging around

26:40

on them. And then you've got this really

26:42

like tight combat system that's

26:44

very responsive. You're building up a little bar

26:46

for every bit of damage that you do

26:48

that then gives you like a special attack.

26:51

It kind of reminds me of the Spider-Man

26:53

games, like a 2D version, because you're doing

26:55

a lot of like dodging between legs and

26:58

hitting from behind, hitting people up into the

27:00

air and doing like vertical, you know, like

27:03

suspended kind of combat. Yeah,

27:05

it's really fun. It's very fluid. It has

27:07

that same sort of fluidity. And it's got

27:09

all these like timing windows of parrying. So

27:11

you can just do like a normal parry,

27:13

but then there's also like a special attack

27:15

that enemies will have where they'll get

27:17

like a little glint. And if you time that properly,

27:20

you do like a kind of glory

27:22

kill, finisher move kind of thing

27:25

that has this little flashy animation

27:27

to it. And yeah,

27:29

the bosses are sort of, yeah, they're

27:31

pretty demanding. Like they're all like, you

27:33

really have to learn each enemy and

27:35

the timings and get really in

27:38

the flow of it. What else have

27:40

you got? You've got your arrows. Yeah. You've

27:43

got... And the arrows can

27:46

be a charge attack and also you're triggering

27:48

certain environmental things, platforms and stuff with the

27:50

arrows. And so you jump in and before

27:52

that one disappears, you got to... You know,

27:54

like just a lot of that kind of...

27:56

Yeah, sort of fast Twitch platforming stuff.

27:59

Wrap. into the combat. And yeah, you're

28:02

in this big, the prince has been

28:04

kidnapped. You're in this group

28:06

of seven immortals who are

28:08

like the little heroes of this world and

28:10

you go off to this mountain

28:13

where you're following the person who's

28:15

kidnapped the prince and you're just trying to get him back and it's like

28:17

every time you get to a new bit, you'll sort

28:19

of see them and they're marching him off into another

28:21

area. It's like, okay, we got to work out how

28:23

to flick that switch to get up there or whatever

28:26

it may be. It's

28:29

got like a lot more, it

28:31

kind of feels like it in

28:34

terms of its presentation and story. It's

28:36

almost like a 3D open world game

28:38

in how much kind of bits of story and

28:40

dialogue and stuff it threads through. Like you're meeting

28:43

a lot of people, you're seeing a lot of

28:45

little cut scenes, like the lead up to this

28:48

getting here. It's pretty simplistic, but it is a

28:50

lot more cinematic than these games generally tend to

28:52

be just like one very

28:54

short area and then you're in like a

28:56

lot more sort of. Yeah, because

28:58

all the cut scenes I think are in engine,

29:00

but they are then like different

29:02

camera angles. It's not all, you're not just all on

29:04

a 2D plane the whole time. It feels a bit

29:06

more fleshed out. And yeah, you're

29:08

like, I don't know. So

29:11

yeah, you're kind of with a band of people, like

29:13

five or six people. Are they

29:15

just there to like talk to? I

29:17

don't have any experience, at least in the demo, any like

29:20

combat interaction or anything like that.

29:23

Yeah, there's been a couple of bits where one of them

29:25

will jump in and help you. Like

29:27

one bit where you find a

29:29

guy's bow and

29:32

like you're looking for him and then you find

29:34

his bow and it's like, oh, where's he gone? Yeah,

29:37

they're mostly just kind of dotted around to give you

29:39

little bits of flavor of the story and point you

29:41

in the direction of like, oh,

29:43

yeah, I think I saw him go up there. I think

29:45

they're mostly just kind of there to let you know that you're on

29:47

the wrong or you're on the right path. Yeah,

29:49

because you can also turn on a thing that makes

29:52

it a bit more guided. So the map will show

29:54

you like he is he's exactly where the bit is.

29:56

You mean no, thank you. But again,

29:59

it's like. I think, you know,

30:01

it kind of maybe assumes that this might be

30:03

your first time playing this kind of game. Yeah,

30:05

it's cool. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But you're not charted

30:07

where you're like in a puzzle room for like

30:09

half an hour and then it goes like, ding!

30:11

Yeah. Would you like some help? Yeah.

30:14

Because, fuck it. It's like you need it. It's been

30:16

half an hour. That's crazy. Like,

30:18

I actually went to get lunch. It's that I'm

30:21

not that stupid. Okay? Someone's told you what to

30:23

do like 10 times. Yeah. Yeah. So it's like,

30:25

or I think it's just, you know,

30:27

it's nice that it's like, hey, you might not, you

30:30

might just want to play through

30:32

this game. Sure. Without having the

30:34

thing of spending hours wandering around. Doing

30:36

the backtracking. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You might want to like

30:38

breathe through it. And yeah, it's

30:40

got like four difficulty settings. So it is pretty, it's

30:42

pretty open to you having whatever sort of experience you

30:45

want with it. Yeah, I'm really enjoying it.

30:47

It feels, it feels great to play.

30:49

It's very fluid. It's got all the

30:51

like, yeah, Metroidvania little

30:53

trappings of just that satisfaction

30:55

of finding it.

30:57

Yeah, finding a

30:59

new power up or ability and

31:01

then just knowing where you're meant to go

31:03

because of the photography

31:06

system. The only thing I'm not crazy

31:08

about is the presentation and just this

31:10

like general design and art direction. I

31:12

don't, I think that's a big part

31:15

of why we were all initially, you

31:18

know, thinking it didn't look very good. It

31:20

looked a bit cheap. It's a little. It looked a

31:22

bit in the air. It's got that old like when

31:24

people used to say it looks like a mobile game type

31:26

of look. It had that sort of aesthetic to it

31:28

that I still don't love the look

31:30

of. And the environment and stuff look great.

31:33

In motion, it looks a lot better because

31:35

it's so small on the screen. But just

31:37

anytime they're doing these cut scenes and like

31:39

even just down to like the menus and

31:42

all of the UI stuff, it's so

31:44

Ubisoft. It's this like

31:47

angular, like purple.

31:50

It's just very like in their

31:52

realm of design, which to me

31:54

does not fit at all with

31:56

the tone of like the

31:59

setting that you're in. And like the game over screen

32:01

that comes up, it looks like something out

32:03

of cyberpunk. It's like this weirdly, it just,

32:06

it doesn't, it just really doesn't work

32:08

for me. I'm, I'm, I'm minding the

32:10

design and the overall thing, like less and less

32:12

as I get more into the game. Right. I think

32:14

it's a bit, yeah, when

32:16

the, when the Rayman games are so,

32:18

they're beautiful. They're so artistic and

32:21

colorful and the designs are so

32:23

fun and interesting. This just

32:26

does, maybe it just speaks to the fact that they're a

32:28

bit sort of hemmed in by

32:30

it being a, you know, Prince

32:32

of Persia game for this certain, it's

32:34

not even very, that's one of the

32:37

weird things. It's like the character design

32:39

of those people around you, your character,

32:41

none of it screams. Yeah.

32:44

Like classic sort of ancient

32:46

Persia stuff. Like

32:48

it's very just sort of generic,

32:50

boring, not even fantasy. Kind

32:53

of like Fortnite approach to like sort

32:55

of comic booky, but a little more

32:57

cartoony than that where I wish

32:59

it was just either going for a

33:01

bit more realism or going

33:03

for a more like

33:06

overly cartoony kind of look. It's a bit sort

33:08

of stuck in the middle for me. That 2008

33:10

one looked really good. The

33:12

sort of cel-shaded one. Yeah.

33:14

Right. Yeah. You don't

33:16

play as the Prince this time. You're normally

33:18

playing as the Prince himself. Yeah. I

33:20

don't know what, I don't know what your exact role is.

33:23

You're just a guy of Persia. You are just

33:25

a guy. Yeah. I've held off. Like SEAL Team

33:27

Six of, but like. Yeah. Yeah. I've held off

33:29

saying his name. Because I know

33:31

what's going to come next. What? Well,

33:33

his name's Sargon. Cool.

33:38

Yeah. Okay. That's not a fucking

33:40

Persian name. It's funny. Oh, it

33:42

is. Because it's made to Ligma

33:44

and that you've got, um, It

33:47

was right to hold off. As long as I

33:49

did. Yes. Saghma,

33:51

Ligma and Sargon. Yeah. Yeah. There

33:53

you guys. Pretty funny. Yeah.

33:56

No, I, I completely agree. And I didn't love,

33:58

it took me a bit to get in. into

34:01

the flow with the controls as well.

34:03

They're a bit twitchy, a bit light,

34:05

a bit floaty. But I think-

34:07

It threats it all in for you a bit more when

34:10

you're playing the game. Yeah. That is the main thing

34:12

I'd say. And by the end of the demo, I was into it and

34:15

I was feeling, just dumb decisions and

34:17

I'm sure it makes sense, but X

34:19

is jump. But

34:22

the idiot, fucking morons, what

34:24

are you doing? Double jump

34:27

is not tap X again. It's press R2, which

34:29

just doesn't quite feel as intuitive as it should.

34:31

But that's your dashing through the air. That's your

34:34

dash button, so it's like- That makes sense. You're

34:36

just replicating that in the air. But yeah, I

34:40

didn't, yeah, and I got okay with it by

34:42

the end of it, but then yeah, there's just, the

34:45

look of it is very, you're right, it's very

34:47

mobile game, or even just mobile game ad. Yeah,

34:50

it's a shame. It's a shame. It's

34:52

definitely my least favorite part of it. Although that being

34:54

said, yeah, when you're playing it on a bigger screen

34:56

especially, most of what you're seeing

34:58

is the environmental design, which is quite nice.

35:01

Yeah, it is, yeah. The colors are nice,

35:03

the design is good. It's got a very,

35:05

the little bits of music and sound effects

35:07

and stuff that are in there do

35:09

a good job of conveying the

35:12

sense of space that you're in is-

35:14

And the combat animation is

35:16

good. Yeah, the little

35:18

close-up glory kill things that

35:20

you do. Swishing your swords, leaving a

35:22

nice- Literally, I think, yeah, just the

35:24

character design is kinda uninspired. Yeah, it's

35:27

a shame. But I would say, yeah,

35:29

I mean, there's a demo of it on, I

35:32

think, every platform, it's on everything. So

35:34

there's a demo of it that's worth a try

35:36

because, yeah, if you'd written it off just based

35:38

on the design, I think

35:42

it's worth a look, especially if you like Metroidvanias

35:44

because it feels like a, like I

35:46

said, a while since there's been a,

35:48

like a, you know, a high-level

35:51

polish, one

35:53

of them, and it's, yeah, I'm having a good time with

35:55

it. I really had just completely written it off. I

35:58

did not expect to- Yeah. on

36:00

the switch I think they've maybe

36:03

bumped down the settings a bit but it runs

36:05

at 60 frames, it's very fluid, it's very smooth,

36:07

I'm not having any issues with it on that.

36:09

All that platforming is really fun, the wall jumping,

36:12

I think once you get into a bit more

36:14

of the platforming, the sort of lightness of the

36:16

movement feels, it makes a lot more sense. Yeah

36:19

you get up to these bits where there's

36:21

spikes on the floor here and bits of

36:23

wall where as soon as you touch them

36:25

spikes will come out and kind of zipping

36:27

around there feels very like doing your damn

36:29

parkour in the dungeons of this weird little

36:31

tower feel pretty cool. There's

36:33

a guy, there's like an enemy who if

36:36

he grabs you, the screen blacks out and

36:38

you wake up in prison so then

36:40

you're like you gotta find your way out of a little prison

36:42

that you're stuck in. It's

36:44

fun, it's

36:47

first good game of the year, nice

36:49

to kick off with a total surprise of

36:51

something that I had just written off as

36:53

being absolutely not of

36:56

any interest. It really goes to show

36:58

doesn't it? Susan Boyle can

37:00

sing. What

37:02

the fuck is happening? It is a

37:04

Susan Boyle video game. It's

37:07

a Susan Boyle. This

39:57

Note: Vpn here Thank you.

40:00

Nord Vpn. I'll

40:02

try to do it to the tune of that other ones I

40:04

thought And. I.

40:09

Have been playing Hire a videogame A

40:11

an ad on oh to a Videogame

40:13

latest yeah they they can make those

40:15

now you do. You expand the game

40:18

further than one. It was a really

40:20

it that that I saw. I finally

40:22

got around to that god of war

40:24

Valhalla thing came out like the day

40:26

off your the week after the game.

40:28

A. Free

40:30

update and it's crazy that

40:32

this thing say. It's

40:35

really good. Yeah, I really enjoyed it.

40:37

I played through like the whole sort

40:39

of main story part of it, which

40:41

there is. Like

40:43

a full lawn and well

40:45

written, and like are noticeably

40:47

kind of. Return.

40:49

To form is kind of thing with the

40:52

tone and whatever. To me that's fucking Squirrel

40:54

Cannons isn't in there any and around and

40:56

it's so. Is this your i'm it set

40:58

off the Ragnar Rock. There's been a bit

41:00

of time in between the end of that

41:02

game and the start of this. It warns

41:05

he it's like a separate thing in the

41:07

menu and then he goes by the way,

41:09

Done for can play this unless you played

41:11

the main game. Plays your our camp and

41:13

it really does serve as like a good

41:15

proper little bow tie. Epilogue to. Like

41:18

Credo says, Growth.

41:21

During those couple a games cruiser try

41:24

as is off and it's just you

41:26

Amir running through at Valhalla which is

41:28

a rogue like off the life louis

41:30

me would be. Haven't been sent the

41:33

hell but added a lawyer? haven't gained.

41:35

I guess you love hidden people without

41:37

the act wanna tell you what I

41:40

saw can do to of yeah the

41:42

combat in that game it's so fun

41:44

and days found a really some some

41:47

good fun ways to to make this

41:49

rogue like version of. it or not

41:51

feel like it saw us sometimes that

41:54

type again cam for me you're doing

41:56

a very at you know hades and

41:58

it's ancient greek mythology and shit tied

42:00

in there too, so it's very Hades of

42:03

before the run you choose your different type of

42:05

shield and you've got all of three of your

42:08

weapons to go between, but you're choosing,

42:10

remember you had different types of shield,

42:12

you had the different types of Spartan

42:14

rage and all of those sort of

42:16

things you are choosing

42:18

before your run as well as the like

42:21

L1 and X ability thing. Between

42:26

each run upgrading your stats like your health and your

42:28

strength and all of that, you know what stats are

42:31

and all of this was like what

42:33

I expected to have revisiting

42:35

different versions of these maps and

42:38

fighting enemies from the main game

42:40

in different configurations and whatever. Is

42:43

it like long like linear maps

42:46

or is it arenas? Small

42:48

little arena sort of thing that look like

42:50

the realms that you visited that you're going

42:53

between randomly in sort of the first phase

42:55

of it, then when you get up to

42:57

the second phase it's something else and I

43:00

don't want to spoil it for people, but

43:02

it's cool. Okay. It's

43:04

a bit of me spoils. It's

43:08

especially with the way that those

43:11

two God of War games that they've done

43:13

have tied in bits and pieces of the

43:15

original trilogy. The way this game does that

43:17

is very cool. And

43:21

it's like the second

43:23

one similar to Hades has like a different sort

43:25

of challenge to it than

43:27

the first one is just sort of go through X amount

43:29

of doors until you get to a boss who you kill

43:32

and then you move up. Then the second one has a

43:34

slightly different take on that. The

43:38

thing that surprised me though, I kind of expected

43:40

all of that you say God of War roguelike

43:42

mode. I'm like, yep, the combat in that game

43:44

is great. So it's cool to do more of

43:46

it, but without sort of a drive, it could

43:48

feel joyish and it totally

43:50

doesn't because they add in this element

43:53

of story to it that was above

43:55

and beyond what they needed to do

43:57

is better than I expected it to

43:59

be. be more in-depth than I expected it to

44:01

be a lot of voice acting a lot of proper

44:03

cut scenes Wow and like

44:06

an actual really necessary part

44:08

of the story that feels

44:11

earned and interesting cool,

44:13

which is super out of

44:15

nowhere. Yeah Free

44:18

update to totally to the game like

44:20

the last of this part too is

44:22

like this week putting out the left

44:24

behind or no No, no return. Yeah

44:26

behind was in the firm and the

44:28

remaster Yeah, which looks cool and

44:31

is getting like people are being positive about

44:33

it But that's 20 bucks right and it

44:35

doesn't have any story stuff folded in if

44:37

anything it ruins the

44:40

idea of that story being about

44:42

ending the cycle of Violence by

44:44

having a mother literally do the

44:46

cycle of violence again again I

44:49

know so I only can dress as an

44:51

astronaut we like cool, which whatever but um

44:54

It's super fun. Yeah. Wow. I

44:57

was really surprised by it and way more

44:59

into so like seems like they did themselves

45:01

a bit of a disservice by when they

45:03

dropped this, you know, like right at the

45:05

end of the year coming into Christmas like

45:08

maybe Yeah, it took

45:10

me a while to get around but also

45:12

partly because I didn't quite expect it to

45:14

land its storytelling aspect of

45:17

it so much because it's like a lot

45:20

of you and me are having chat

45:22

and that the story overall is basically

45:24

Kratos goes to therapy right Valhalla can

45:26

bring back memories and makes yeah kind

45:28

of you're going through dreams and having

45:31

like Mm. Milfi

45:33

been not to me meals. Dr. Mm. Yeah

45:39

It's it does that well It

45:41

does it with like this warrior

45:43

like this is warrior therapy is

45:45

doing lots and lots of fighting,

45:48

right? but really addresses Like

45:50

some of the bits of like

45:53

Kratos grew especially throughout Ragnarok a

45:55

lot of my problems with where the story of that When

45:58

is the characters? Change. Their

46:00

perspectives on things. In

46:02

a really unnatural way, particularly

46:05

Freya kind of swap like

46:07

that just seemed rapid. In

46:10

that and this is a lot more

46:12

introspective, an interesting yeah oh I thought

46:14

And Yemen dirt bike is surprisingly over

46:16

the to and then as as the

46:18

rogue like thing, it's fun going through

46:20

and like earning the bits and pieces

46:23

that you do out of this like

46:25

you get I did you earn. Points.

46:28

To spend on stats for using different

46:30

things that encourages you to change it

46:32

up again. Been yet where it was

46:34

easy in that game to fall into.

46:36

like while the Axis Good? yeah yeah

46:38

yeah I it's clever with the how

46:40

does that and just walk. It's fun

46:42

to. Fight. Guys in

46:44

that game I don't to play as even

46:46

though I never since the actual game I'm

46:48

here is honestly look up what happens in

46:50

the ending of that and yeah like this

46:52

is very much said after it and a

46:54

continuation and it's like a few months after

46:56

and some stuff that yeah Dwayne that they

46:58

sort of talk to you about right? But

47:00

that said stories that are contained within it.

47:03

Though. They do tie in to

47:05

obviously especially to cry doses whole

47:08

story of a seconds. And

47:10

nine games or something now. Ah.

47:13

It's. Still, Telling it's own

47:15

sort of individual thing that I think you'd be

47:17

fine. Yeah, I and honestly I'm. Get.

47:20

Really surprised by how. To

47:23

the wall they put their balls with

47:25

making this and that. Very satisfied with

47:27

it. Yes, I like ib three or

47:29

four hours sort of thing. Okay just

47:31

to go through the kind of main

47:33

story better than you could spend a

47:35

lot more time I get in every

47:37

challenge done and all of that and

47:39

the combat in their game is so

47:41

fun that having s really well made

47:43

reason to do lots of it with

47:45

like interesting enemies to fight and stuff.

47:48

That's. Pretty cool. I was pretty skeptical on it,

47:50

but I am interested to see what that last

47:52

of us to. Yeah I'm looking

47:54

forward to it. Yeah I died at similar

47:56

thing where I really enjoyed had a game

47:59

played. And you don't get

48:01

to do as much of it as maybe

48:03

you want to because it is much more

48:05

focused on the storytelling. And a yeah, definitely

48:07

yeah yeah, which obviously works really well. But

48:10

then, yeah, it's cool to have. This.

48:12

Type of mode at least for a bit that want

48:14

without the hook of like. Third third, Story

48:16

and this I doubt I'd have played as

48:18

much of it as I did on a

48:21

yes or not sure how often I will

48:23

a or if I will kind of returned

48:25

to it and do the rest yes like

48:27

this trophies and shit that that I'd look

48:29

pretty easy to earn the maybe i will

48:31

consist of fun game but ah yeah terms

48:33

of like because like of at other really

48:35

difficult other bosses are they could like it

48:37

are those in the main games and there

48:39

was that stuff that is that you could

48:41

return to after the story was done like

48:43

is if you're like of real god of

48:45

war combat had. A you may like

48:48

great of the outer thrash this

48:50

and really hone my yeah skills.

48:52

Yeah yes it is. It is.

48:55

Is it is a good level of

48:58

all of that rise of you only

49:00

need to go through like four or

49:02

five times like or that you're forced

49:04

to like. I don't think I died

49:06

unnecessarily. So it was

49:09

about four or five goes around. Yes, so

49:11

it's actually quite quick to work your way

49:13

through. But like a even in those. Judging

49:16

from the list of stuff I didn't say ride

49:18

the in their achievements him whenever there's a lot

49:21

in there that a whoop throw you randomly so

49:23

he would be how often you see that stuff

49:25

is. Gonna change

49:27

Yale but I that they're at it.

49:30

It's do and really cool stuff with I

49:32

don't want to say too much about yeah

49:34

I die off but but I was really

49:36

surprised. Yeah fuck yeah yeah it's oh my

49:39

yes a few hours. why not? if you

49:41

already have the game wanna give it a

49:43

crack at if you liked it? especially like

49:45

the early if he was like any of

49:47

God of War, this is great. Yeah genuinely

49:49

really does some cool interesting stuff that like

49:52

I sort of wish I had been not

49:54

necessarily this version of it in the main

49:56

game because this definitely functions as an epilogue

49:58

to but this. Treatment of

50:00

these characters in the way that

50:02

stuff is happening in this. I

50:04

think they've They've gotten that tone.

50:07

Ah, right in this in a way that

50:09

patches of Ragnar up miss the mark on.

50:12

And this is sort of. What

50:14

I'd have one or more out of? right?

50:16

That original game. Hello was a between.

50:19

So Twenty eighteen, right? Was the the salary

50:21

birds Arabia One. And then it was Twenty

50:23

Twenty Two. Was Ragnar on? Yeah, okay, and

50:26

now it's Twenty Twenty Four says. Ah

50:29

yes, yeah yeah. I wonder if. They.

50:31

Felt as I think the scope of Ragnar Rock was bigger and

50:34

it was more. I've been are all that stuff. If

50:37

maybe the story. You

50:40

know a was compromised a little bit and

50:42

having that more time to be like okay

50:44

or maybe they always knew that was gonna

50:46

do an epilogue in this way and maybe

50:49

so I would lower out in are happy

50:51

to have it sort of. Trial off

50:53

and come back in a a I am

50:55

and I think this is and also saying

50:58

so like it's or but from all the

51:00

stuff that sort of after the fact that

51:02

little bit whispers and just spurs about like.

51:05

The. Development of Ragnar Och A A

51:07

being two games that that in compressed into

51:09

one and right sort of problems or and

51:11

I think a lot of the the the.

51:14

Pacing. Stuff in that story. Gets.

51:16

Explained by that to some extent. yes

51:19

yeah but then just that that that

51:21

that the treatment of like it's a

51:23

hard line to walk where you've got

51:25

this guy this character and graders whose

51:27

whole thing forever was fuck you and

51:29

then in twenty eighteen they did a

51:31

good job of him in like maybe

51:34

us in the said fuck you yeah

51:36

and then a regular he's like i

51:38

shouldn't have said fuck you and I'm

51:40

sorry fuck myself and then this is

51:42

trying to him be in my garage

51:44

actually forgive you like. Mandated

51:47

there was something about that the the

51:49

Ragnar of Stuff or it's like all

51:51

sore eyes shouldn't be. Drink it at

51:53

just stuff that like didn't quite land

51:55

the right tone of trying to do

51:57

that. Read them. they've stuff yet there.

52:00

that this is doing a little more deftly than

52:02

that. No! As they said,

52:04

is there any more? Is this it?

52:07

I could see that this concludes,

52:09

but I think this serves well

52:11

as a set up to one

52:15

more you could see where it's like, now

52:18

put that shit into action. A little

52:20

story, an actual little story mode thing.

52:22

An actual third game of this thing,

52:25

which I assume they're doing. Oh,

52:27

I meant, as they said, is there going to

52:29

be any more to come out for this? I

52:32

doubt it. They haven't said, but I would imagine this

52:34

is the end of Ragnarok stuff. I will say,

52:36

I think this is only on the PS5. Oh

52:39

yeah, yeah, yeah. Whatever the PS4 does.

52:41

Yeah, yeah, yeah. But yeah,

52:44

it works super well, and it's got

52:46

me excited again to see,

52:49

yeah man, if you can make a third one, and really stick

52:52

the landing on where you brought these

52:54

characters to and do that stuff. Yep.

52:57

Well, then that middle part of

53:00

the trilogy can often be brought

53:02

back in some sense if

53:04

you make the payoffs for the things that

53:06

didn't necessarily work out of that. Yeah. Work

53:08

well. Right. And I think a

53:11

lot of people have come, have ended up in a

53:13

position where they're like, oh,

53:15

I don't know if this or that worked

53:17

about the story in Ragnarok, because it played

53:19

great. Yes, yeah. But specifically just like a

53:21

few of the key bits of

53:24

that story weren't done right.

53:27

You know, just, just, it, they

53:30

didn't have enough room to breathe with some of

53:32

it. They didn't really make fucking sense in

53:34

the overall, like

53:36

the snake going off and then becoming the thing. And

53:38

like all of that was so thrown away and like,

53:42

that had no bearing over most of this. And

53:44

then like the sun twists and turns that, one

53:46

of them was really good. But

53:49

anyway, the point being, this is

53:51

what they got to do. Yeah. They

53:53

breathe. They've they're flying back into the right

53:55

line. And it feels like they maybe had

53:57

a bit of time. Like I think it

54:00

speaks to Ragnarok. Ragnarok maybe having been a

54:02

little bit of a messy development in some

54:04

ways and this having

54:06

a bit more focus and direction to it. Yeah,

54:09

and so much pressure too with

54:11

Ragnarok where the first,

54:14

well, the first reboot one,

54:16

people were like, oh, this is an all-timer. Yeah. So

54:19

you're working against that pressure, but now the actual game

54:21

is out and this thing that you're making is

54:24

just, it's a bonus. It's an extra little free thing.

54:26

So there's no like, if, yeah, all

54:28

it's really going to do is like, yeah,

54:30

please some people that liked the,

54:32

liked the base game or be a little bit

54:34

more of an incentive for people to buy the

54:36

base game now. But then to go above and

54:38

beyond in that sort of scenario is cool. Yeah.

54:41

And yeah, it really makes me want

54:44

to revisit that game as well. And maybe just

54:46

like after having been a little bit like,

54:48

oh, about some of it, if

54:51

on a second go around, it'd be more like,

54:53

oh, okay. Right. Because if I'd

54:55

still out on it a little, or if it'd be more like,

54:57

nah, nah, once again, I was right.

55:00

Yeah, I never finished it either. Same as you,

55:02

Tommy. I did get pretty

55:04

far in. I feel like I got maybe,

55:06

you know, sort of two thirds, three quarters

55:08

in, but yeah, maybe I'll finish it so

55:11

I can at least have, yeah, have an opinion on if

55:14

I like or dislike those story

55:16

things as well. To

55:18

be clear as well, again, about Ragnarok, we've talked about it

55:20

so fucking much, but it's like gone

55:23

to a seven from a 10 or whatever from

55:25

the first to the second. Like, I don't think

55:27

it's shit dog shit. Fuck you dog shit. No,

55:29

no, no, no. It was like, like, yeah, it

55:32

was good enough that you want to, you, you

55:34

wished the slight dips were, you know, if

55:36

they'd been ironed out, it would have been, you know, a 10 out of

55:38

10. Exactly. A

55:40

crinkly shirt can undercut the most handsome face.

55:43

Yeah. Yeah. I don't

55:45

know. Yeah. I

55:47

got neither. Well, I'm speaking of free shit. And

55:51

add-ons. I played a little mod

55:54

this morning and yesterday. Did you get a load of

55:56

the mod boy or anything? He's playing over here. There's

55:58

a plenty. I'm boy and bloody... Ben Sherman,

56:00

I'm a blummy, I've got a Union Jack

56:02

on me. I'm a mod. I'm a mod.

56:05

Yeah, yeah, right. I'm a rocker, so. We

56:07

need shit, moped boy. I

56:10

played, yeah, a mod called Portal Revolution.

56:13

I only knew about it, cause it was prominently

56:15

featured on Steam. So this is like a pretty

56:17

well endorsed mod for Portal 2. And

56:21

man, I love those Portal games.

56:24

And I had a hankering for

56:26

it. You talked about the

56:29

Talos Principle, what,

56:31

like a month ago or something? Something like that.

56:33

And I still do think, yeah, probably

56:37

Portal 2 is my favorite first person

56:39

puzzle game. It's like a

56:41

industry standard basically. And this

56:44

was pretty fucking good. I've played probably the first

56:46

like five or six puzzles, tests,

56:49

it's very much, it's

56:52

more like the first one in the second

56:54

one's engine of like, welcome test subject. Here

56:56

are a bunch of Portal

56:58

puzzles to do. Am I right in thinking that

57:00

they've tied the story into, this is like a

57:03

prequel to Portal 1 or something? I

57:05

don't know. There's not

57:07

been a lot of context so far story

57:09

wise. I think that's maybe the case. It

57:11

would make sense with what I'm saying so

57:13

far. It'd be

57:15

very funny if we tried this out and it

57:18

goes, welcome to the Portal prequel. Perfect. But

57:20

I do think you're like, it's saying stuff like,

57:26

the process to awaken you from stasis

57:28

is a little bit fucked up and

57:31

so your vision might be, so that

57:33

would make sense that it's like you're an early

57:36

test subject and it's an early version of all

57:38

of this stuff. Yeah,

57:41

it's great. The puzzles are really, really

57:43

good. The aesthetic or like the presentation,

57:45

there is a voiceover guy and

57:47

it's just a guy and it's not Steven Merchant

57:50

and it's also not a computer, which

57:53

I feel like if I was making a

57:55

Portal game and I couldn't afford a famous

57:57

voice actor, I'd just use like a... a

58:01

robot voice. Get a mate who can do a

58:03

computer voice. Yeah. So what is someone

58:05

being like G'day Knackers welcome to fucking...

58:07

Pretty much. Well they're American. It's either

58:09

computer or yeah fucking G'day. Yeah. Gun

58:11

there. Not only am I a shit

58:13

voice actor, I can't talk good. You've

58:16

got a lab coat guy up in

58:18

the booth is what it sounds like.

58:20

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Just some guy being

58:22

like hey welcome to and doing all

58:24

the GLaDOS stuff of like the sort

58:26

of dark humour and the you know

58:28

references to how you're gonna get

58:30

treated very badly and probably die over and over.

58:32

You gotta do that. You gotta do that. That's

58:35

part of the portal thing and like it could

58:37

be worse. The voice actor is certainly not like

58:39

shit or anything but yeah

58:42

the puzzles are really good and it does sort

58:45

of like drip feet or you know it builds

58:47

them up as it does in

58:49

the other games. It doesn't really just

58:51

assume you've completed all the games and

58:53

you're diving straight in. But yeah what

58:55

it's doing is really really fun and

58:57

I played those you know first two

58:59

long enough ago that I do

59:02

appreciate the semi-tutorializing

59:04

that happens but

59:06

yeah fuck just like it's

59:08

the best puzzle mechanic. Like it's so clever. It's so

59:10

smart. I should go back to that. Yeah. Because I

59:12

played them, I played all of one and then I

59:14

went straight into two. Right, right. I did a big

59:17

chunk of it that just hit a point where I

59:19

was like I think I've had a

59:21

bit of a fill of portal for

59:23

a little bit. Yeah, yeah and it

59:26

doesn't have... Damn I gotta put on

59:28

the office brother. They shut down. A

59:31

guy was doing Valve shut down. Oh yeah. This guy

59:33

was doing a Nintendo 64 version of Portal. Oh. We've

59:35

been working on it for a while and like kind

59:38

of had it working. It was really impressive. Yeah right.

59:40

And they canned it because he was...

59:43

It was in the thing where like if you

59:45

make it a mod like that and you're also

59:47

going like so subscribe to my Patreon to pay

59:49

me to make this mod. It gets the bit

59:51

with the car. You're kind of using our

59:53

property and getting paid for it so we

59:55

don't have a choice. Yep. Yep. That logo

59:57

looks very much like a P. So

1:00:00

can you get out of here, rockstar?

1:00:02

When like, do it

1:00:04

as a passion project on spec and put it out

1:00:07

and then you may well end up getting work out

1:00:09

of it. It's hard to

1:00:11

say, because you know, you can only be doing

1:00:13

a Patreon if you've got purely

1:00:15

original content. Ting! I

1:00:18

was hoping my eye would go ting when I winked then, but

1:00:20

once again it didn't. One day it will. And

1:00:22

I guess this is purely, this is a

1:00:24

passion project and it has been like highlighted

1:00:26

and put forward by Valve on their, you

1:00:28

know, storefront. They're usually great with that stuff,

1:00:30

like Black Mesa was the same thing that

1:00:32

then got a Valve endorsement like, yeah they're

1:00:34

doing like a Half-Life 1 remake I guess.

1:00:36

Yeah, and yeah, yeah, exactly. What

1:00:38

was it? We played something else semi-recently that was...

1:00:41

Especially when it's like, well we're not going to do it,

1:00:43

so you know, we may as well just boost

1:00:45

up the thing that is to a high standard.

1:00:47

And the puzzles in this are really intelligent, like

1:00:49

I could see this person getting hired on if

1:00:52

there's ever something similar in there. To not make

1:00:54

Portal 3. Yeah. To not make Half-Life 3. But

1:00:57

I mean, you get hired and then you just sort of walk

1:00:59

around the Valve offices and have fun by the sounds of things.

1:01:01

Yeah. Gabe wears a lot of white. But

1:01:05

yeah, I recommend this. It's obviously free if you've got Portal

1:01:07

2. Like not a big download

1:01:10

chunk either. And

1:01:12

I'm having a lot of fun with it. It's

1:01:15

impressively made. Yeah, that's nice. If

1:01:17

you're looking for a free first-person puzzler and

1:01:19

you already have Portal 2, why not? Why

1:01:22

not give it a fucking look? Why don't you have it already? What have

1:01:24

you got to lose? Well, you might have got around to it.

1:01:26

You might have heard of it. Yeah. Guys, that's going

1:01:28
