We. Get a seat in and bosses
0:02
loss. It's. Dine. In
0:04
find all Seth, I'm learning German
0:06
Yankee. You did know what that
0:08
was. That is me trying to
0:10
impress you with the little German
0:12
that I know right now I
0:14
am actually learning German. I took
0:16
it in high school. I goofed
0:18
off the entire time I did
0:20
some other language learning apps. They
0:22
taught me things like where the
0:24
taxi stand is and how to
0:26
find a bus, but not a
0:28
lot of conversational German. Thankfully, that's
0:30
what Babel is all about. Bible
0:32
teaches you language conversationally, which let's
0:34
face it, that is what you
0:36
want to know anyway. Iron out
0:38
when I was in school. You
0:40
learn like how to count. You
0:42
learn like the colors, you learned,
0:44
the shapes. Those are all important
0:46
things, but they don't help you
0:48
when you're in. I like Cologne,
0:50
Germany with I'm Neil and Shine
0:52
which by the ways German for
0:54
kidney stone experience I can see
0:56
unfortunately speak personally to but. I've
0:59
been using Battle to learn to speak
1:01
German again. better than a happy for
1:03
actually really like it because it is
1:05
conversational, it's a little bit more relaxed.
1:07
One of the things that it doesn't
1:09
I really like is it'll sometimes show
1:11
you what the litter old English translation
1:13
is and I don't know why, but
1:15
I find that very helpful in sort
1:17
of understanding the structure, the grammar of
1:19
a language, and sort of putting myself
1:21
into that mind space. Since I'm only
1:23
in Germany for games com, which is
1:25
like a week, a week and a
1:27
half, I'm not immersed. In the German
1:29
language, I'm not immersed in German culture,
1:32
so what I do is the second
1:34
best thing. I'm taken Babbel. Hopefully this
1:36
year when I go to Germany, I'll
1:38
be able to impress all the Germans
1:41
with how much German I know from
1:43
learning through Babel. The. App has
1:45
pronunciation recognition so you'll be able to
1:47
learn how to speak better with your
1:50
accent, how to actually properly pronounce the
1:52
words. that what you will get made
1:54
fun of. Buy her a group of
1:56
older German men because you said apple

7:16
know what the hell were talking about. Ah,
7:18
when try to remember not to. We're.
7:21
Talking this week about one of
7:23
the most beloved Nintendo systems of
7:25
all time, the one that started
7:27
it all of handheld. Revolution.
7:30
Of Nintendo's business and that is
7:32
of course you didn't Had a
7:34
Gameboy which released April Twenty First,
7:36
no data showing off any ah
7:38
the that, the see through one
7:40
which is my one of my
7:42
absolute favorite. Ah, Ninety Eighty Nine,
7:44
Thirty five years ago April Twenty
7:46
First, the Nintendo. Game. Boy released
7:49
arm and I am making
7:51
the argument right now. That.
7:54
Nintendo's Game Boy was it's most
7:56
important console of all time and
7:58
I turn. Panel You
8:00
agree? Or. Disagree? I
8:03
guess. My. Feeling so be on hurt
8:05
but rebel? do you figure think the Nintendo
8:07
game Boy is or. Is.
8:09
It is up there as high as
8:11
I'm making it as a ah I
8:13
I think an argument for it. I
8:15
like I. I don't. I don't know
8:18
that I don't. I don't want to preserve
8:20
my position until I hear what other people
8:22
have to say, because I certainly think there
8:24
there are a number of powerful than and
8:26
industry that has been deeply important to video
8:29
games in general and and Ten dealt a
8:31
little more singularly. Let's yeah, right, I mean
8:33
Gameboy sort of. The. Was. The
8:35
start of an entire era of how
8:38
people play video games right? like we
8:40
had, we had arcade machines, we had
8:42
these home console the now we also
8:44
had the Elliott Elliott pcs and then
8:47
we also had this little handheld thing
8:49
the if the southern your pocket and
8:51
play games on the dome which we
8:54
aren't really playing it it will have
8:56
phones in our pocket at the title
8:58
of we were not doing that yet
9:01
and it really just find an entire
9:03
little Nintendo basically had these branching. Paths
9:05
that it traveled down right? It had the com
9:07
full face and in it had the Handheld Faith
9:09
and Nintendo. Of. Completely dominated the
9:12
handheld save basically for the entire time
9:14
it was in it. You know place
9:16
inside the covered with some competition, but
9:18
it's really not Smother gets the The
9:20
Game Boys Legacy Gameboy color, Gameboy Advance.
9:23
I is just completely untouchable in
9:25
that regard. And we had so
9:28
many games. That. I
9:30
do not think ever would have gone as
9:32
far or.as much as they hadn't been illegally
9:34
put them on I love talking about I
9:36
got it was a good idea no matter
9:38
where you put that games but I do
9:40
not think it would have had the same
9:42
impact had it not that on a little
9:45
device either take with you just gloss the
9:47
either take with you to your friend's house
9:49
and trade with a think tables and and
9:51
carry with you on a on long car
9:53
rides and long long trip than in your
9:55
backpack and how many how many car as
9:57
I sit in the backseat with a little
9:59
worm like. Club them late at night or
10:01
my parents are driving home from something in a
10:03
playing whatever it was. So yeah, I think I
10:05
think the Game Boy is is arguably one of
10:07
the to the most important system said. It really
10:09
sets the tone for so many franchises that we
10:11
love to day and and so much of the
10:13
kinds of games that we played as a as
10:15
an that into the Slit still have a little
10:17
bit of that legacy. and the fact that the
10:20
Silicon tell. You. Are
10:22
I like that because you mostly agreed with
10:24
a traitor? What do you say? Yeah.
10:26
I mean, I agree. I see Drivel
10:28
and we're on the wave life that.
10:31
I think you know we saw early competitors.
10:34
They get traded with the game here. they
10:36
tried to said into the market. it's like
10:38
you know, twelve d batteries to the power
10:40
the thing for an hour by com and
10:42
had some great games on it but it
10:44
just didn't live up to legacy. The gameplay
10:46
and it was. I still like
10:49
Nintendo and handheld has been this. Ah,
10:51
I'm. Has been this
10:54
high that every company has been trying
10:56
to chase and even the mobile market
10:58
nowadays is. Ceasing that.
11:01
That. Market share of mobile games and that
11:03
means you can play on the go. And
11:05
I'll think without if we didn't if Nintendo didn't have.
11:08
The Gameboy and really set such a high bar
11:10
I don't think you know. I think eventually mobile
11:12
games would have got to where they are today,
11:14
but I think it would have taken a lot
11:16
longer if they didn't have a. Ah,
11:18
I'm. A path to follow
11:21
a blueprint of like, hey, this is what. This.
11:23
Is what can be on a handheld.
11:26
System. That people can place and take
11:28
with them and play everywhere. And we see
11:30
now these that everybody's trying to do even
11:32
more things. mobile you know Gauthier Portal. ah
11:35
you know X boxes. talk about doing their
11:37
own handheld Nintendo with their switch literally as
11:39
their home console is now also portable. that
11:41
is like they did. I mean travel system
11:44
like of pcs with seem deck like. I.
11:46
Seem like the Gameboy. Really just kind
11:49
of left. It's Landmark and it's. Not.
11:51
Only that but he of way to so
11:53
many influential games like Rebels saying with pokemon
11:55
like. I. Don't I think
11:58
pokemon would have been a flash and the. If
12:00
it had just been a home console back in the
12:02
day, I feel like it would have been. Ah,
12:04
You know, kind of as it is, it would
12:07
have kept going to the save Being a home
12:09
console release only, it might have started to peter
12:11
out. Kind of like Final Fantasy as lately, like
12:13
I love Final Fantasy for my favorite franchises. What?
12:15
The Demand isn't nearly as high as it was.
12:18
Back. In me any s as
12:20
funny as. He has one
12:22
day. Line is like it's just it's it's
12:24
just constantly been dwindling and going down. And
12:27
be as I think, pokemon my thumb the same way as
12:29
many. And we wouldn't factory games like
12:31
fact I. Would. Use like a others
12:33
that as a you know the sudden as
12:35
a method of like. Playing. A
12:38
Mechanical The Game Like there's so many great
12:40
thing for the Gameboy and like the Gameboy
12:42
will always be you know, near and dear
12:44
to my heart Like this. This gameplay specifically
12:47
was given to me by my uncle before
12:49
he passed away. all arm and it's is
12:51
one of the things I've treasured for like
12:53
my entire life. I'm a was
12:55
that the got me into Legend of Zelda
12:57
like I didn't play Zelda on the any
13:00
Us until I played Link's Awakening on the
13:02
gameboy and that part of the reason why
13:04
it in flaking will always be my favorite.
13:06
A. Vincent. a Zelda game
13:08
self him. I. They
13:10
are so pretty important I can't. You
13:12
just took a sip of some some
13:14
beverage and I'm curious to hear what
13:16
you have to say isn't isn't a
13:19
Gameboy until the most important release. Know.
13:22
It is not as friends most of our release.
13:26
I had to be the contrary and one
13:28
here. but. No. I love my
13:30
everything you say is not just for contrarians sake,
13:32
it's like carefully thought out and calculate and you
13:34
have reasons which is why we liked to have
13:36
you on the show. Yeah, use your brain. Imagine
13:39
that before he didn't do in the Comet The
13:41
Frog Me I'm is none of my last. Ah,
13:45
now it's a second most important and
13:47
ten or council of all time. Okay,
13:49
I mean I don't think anything can
13:51
be more important than family com system
13:53
that literally same video game console has
13:55
we now and. And. A fine
13:57
video game console for the next exit.
14:00
There's an basically laid out
14:02
the entire business model for
14:04
the council industry for the
14:06
next thirty forty years and
14:08
was the started So many
14:10
franchises including Mario and Zelda.
14:12
And. Even games like Mega Man and
14:14
Castle Vein. Yeah, Metal. Gear yes
14:16
I know, Metal Gear Solid, Emma Sex, but we
14:19
all know with tons of their family com. Yeah.
14:21
etc. So. They
14:24
any s was says you can't understate a
14:26
Made video games in the eighties. And.
14:28
He says. Yeah. So sorry at
14:31
Family com but. Gameboy.
14:34
Secured. Nintendo's future.
14:36
Yeah. It made it so that Nintendo
14:39
to continue to stick around. And.
14:41
Have a presence because when the and
14:43
sixty four and the game cube in
14:45
the we you were doing badly. Always.
14:49
They had the backstop of. The. G
14:51
Oh yes, Very successful. Really?
14:54
Upheld the game cube to the point
14:56
where they're trying to find ways to
14:58
connect the to the Nintendo Ds. Which.
15:00
Was a monster success. Long.
15:03
Ago you water said that Nintendo
15:05
rise to heaven or six to
15:08
sell. Face. On the success.
15:10
Of. The Nintendo Ds in the third pillar.
15:13
And they rose to heaven in so
15:15
many ways along with the Nintendo we
15:17
are. So he's cutting his wrestling promo.
15:19
Yes, this is so The Hand Hello
15:21
the. Really a backstop Nintendo for a
15:23
long time and is one reason that I
15:25
was kind of worried about the Nintendo Switch
15:27
once. I was like is there a place
15:29
for a hybrid. Is. Is the worst
15:31
of all worlds. They're getting rid of this
15:34
very profitable, dedicated hand held. Ah,
15:36
market! While. Combine in combining
15:38
it with. Their. Home console
15:41
market which hasn't and which at that point that
15:43
was not doing very well. This is
15:45
the way in. The answer was. Yes,
15:47
He felt it was the way
15:49
and gay boys reason for that.
15:52
Of course we're just looking at
15:54
Tetris. On. The Spiro. I mean
15:56
come on terraces. One of the
15:58
most important games ever. Yeah.
16:00
And actually, I find Tetris really
16:02
interesting, in particular because he was
16:05
one way. In. Which Nintendo tried
16:07
to expand it's can fanbase. We think of
16:09
the gave a hat little has boy in
16:11
it so we think of it as being
16:13
a little bit for kids. And
16:16
the Game Boy was marketed to
16:18
adults. Yeah when it came out
16:20
there are putting them in higher
16:22
advertisements advertisements for them in high
16:24
end. Airline. Magazines and
16:27
luxury magazine showing businessman
16:29
so businessmen specifically. Playing
16:32
the game Boy on their business
16:34
trips, And. Things like that like
16:36
know he played Tetris. As. An
16:38
adult, The gameboy is great if you're
16:41
traveling. And in it and it
16:43
works. As also. Really?
16:45
reflective of Nintendo's kind of strategy
16:47
back in the late nineteen eighties
16:49
and I'm it also up in
16:51
a moment, but. Back. On
16:53
the nineteen eighties of using. Sort.
16:55
Of our older parts. Yes,
16:58
And putting together a very
17:01
affordable machine. That. They
17:03
can sell at a relatively low price
17:05
with good battery life. Nintendo.
17:07
Understood the basics of a dedicated
17:10
hands health concern. And. The
17:12
one reason that the Game Gear.
17:14
And the P S P in the via
17:16
never overtook it. Was. Because it was
17:19
missing the fundamentals of good hand held. Design.
17:22
Which was great battery life. Decent
17:26
okay screen sounds.
17:28
The game was the gave or three was an
17:31
amazing but great battery life. Great games at work
17:33
well on handheld. they weren't trying to be canceled.
17:35
My seen. Again, only knew what
17:37
it was from the start. so. I
17:43
would like to add to that to that
17:45
you mentioned. Bringing. It the
17:47
bringing this device out at a lower
17:50
price because they were using least somewhat
17:52
older parts and that actually I think
17:54
was another really big reason that hit
17:56
a handheld market for Nintendo with so
17:58
that's because of. We're being a kid
18:01
and I I couldn't afford the latest console
18:03
I I pretty much never could. I did
18:05
get like a little bit of pocket money
18:07
from doing chores but it was always something
18:09
that was Adam I reach. My family was
18:11
Athena. My family with all that know video
18:13
games are not good for you so you
18:15
know I as they wouldn't buy any any
18:17
video games but I remember all my friends
18:19
are talking about video games and I wanted
18:21
to play them and so I was able.
18:23
I was ever able to save save for
18:25
a bigger device until I got my game
18:27
cube but I got a Gameboy color relatively
18:29
early on because. I I I got it for
18:31
Christmas and then I was able to save up
18:33
and buy games. Actually
18:36
like participate in that and it was a little bit
18:38
more affordable for or my parents and then later on
18:40
I was able to buy a game boy advance and
18:42
and so forth. and so all of all of the
18:44
things we're we're more accessible to me and I imagine
18:46
they were more accessible to a lot of other people
18:48
who may not have had the budget for an entire
18:50
system and all the more expensive games came with. It's
18:52
that gameplay with I was quite a bit cheaper. Yeah.
18:56
The of. It's the. Ah, the older
18:58
hardware. I actually I can never remember what
19:00
the ship was or had to look it
19:03
up. and it's a hybrid between. The.
19:05
Intel. Eighty.
19:08
Eighty And these I log Z eighty of
19:10
a dialogue. The Eighty I have a computer
19:12
behind me that I have as I like
19:14
the a computer. What? they. Just.
19:16
Now. Without. That they're not going to
19:18
be making that ship. Anymore. But that
19:20
ship was very old and I. Didn't
19:24
like Calif Years a Nintendo understood.
19:26
What? They needed to do. We needed
19:28
to last a very long time on a
19:31
battery and it needed to be just good
19:33
enough. Us where we had the first the
19:35
first generation screen. Not. Great.
19:37
Very smearing. Very hard to see. It did get
19:39
better, but it didn't take any power. There was
19:41
no backlight which sucked. But it
19:43
didn't. Matter because again, It. Ran
19:45
forever or for and eventually
19:47
to. Double. Eight and I think is actually you. Later.
19:50
Miles Roy to Aaa. Batteries.
19:53
So. Am I remember I was seen eye
19:55
to be nice I would have been eleven.
19:58
So. I would have been seventh grade I think. Came
20:00
out and. The. Few.
20:02
Kids in my school who had
20:04
game boys were rock stars this
20:07
way. He absolutely coolest thing that
20:09
any kid. Could. Have it All!
20:11
The rest of us are so envious
20:13
of them for having of. Didn't.
20:16
Handle. That. They can walk
20:18
around and play there it is. My
20:20
friend James actually had the Handy Boy
20:22
Joy Plus which is for those of
20:24
you who are listening that ridiculous device
20:27
that you've no doubt seems about it's
20:29
guest speakers, a magnifying glass, a light
20:31
be stupid or button covers is that
20:33
made it worse and then out a
20:35
strap c to carry it around your
20:38
neck. So. That everyone else the seventh
20:40
grade new you are the coolest kid. In
20:42
the entire. School. By
20:44
I guess. Says I did. You have
20:47
a pool on Gameboy a carrying case.
20:49
I didn't get the original game. Why?
20:51
that got a Gameboy color. it's and
20:53
with it I got the coolest cave
20:55
are in the world. It was like.
20:58
Aqua. Blue with like purple tran and
21:00
it had your pokemon moevao as it had
21:02
like blast toys and peak it's you and
21:04
i might have been me out like one
21:07
at a poker mine kind of like embroidered
21:09
on the front and you flip your gameboy
21:11
into the fry ended and little pouch on
21:13
top for you to put your games and
21:15
and then a big long can a rupee
21:17
strap and he does the word a messenger
21:19
bags and he coolest. Recess,
21:23
whatever with that like slung
21:25
over my chest. And
21:27
I tell you, I did not own
21:29
a gameboy until I was twenty. Two
21:33
or twenty three years old. Ah, when I
21:35
was in the Air Force, you were going
21:38
on a Td wire to separate idiots. I
21:40
bought the yellow pickets. you addition. The
21:43
and. Yup, That was my
21:45
first game Boy that I owed. Of course I've only. Ever.
21:48
Had held. Since. Sense. But I
21:50
also want to mention the
21:52
fact that, oh, that's. Not what
21:54
i have a really close as the same like color
21:57
and design is as mine had like as and a
21:59
couple of the public. How to pop up
22:01
Exact opposite And oh my gosh,
22:04
Via. The gameboy also was kind of
22:07
the first. Hand held
22:09
that didn't suck. There were hit Lz
22:11
for this but they're mostly like Tiger
22:13
Electronics L Edu which were. Fun
22:16
for one second. Game and want
22:18
a game and watch the game or is it is
22:20
really important But it was the same thing it was
22:22
those i'm. Else in I said alley
22:25
the Lcd screens that were to space with static
22:27
in it would. They. Weren't that great?
22:29
Their need their fun of. From a
22:31
historical perspective I think that they're very
22:33
important but you also had games like
22:36
mattel like sports games which were literally
22:38
just like lights and it would disrupt
22:40
max out of this the sound effect
22:42
when you did anything. So this was
22:44
I a game show your plane what
22:46
felt like. Yelp. Console:
22:49
Nintendo style games on a little
22:51
one bit. Green. Screen,
22:53
but I want to talk about a little bit
22:55
about it's competitors at the time. So you had
22:57
the Atari Lynx. Which. Is
23:00
about ah four and a half
23:02
feet wide and seventy seven batteries.
23:04
It's a weird numbers as they
23:07
didn't split in half. Small screen
23:09
actually. Little really small screen. Yeah,
23:11
a very small screen, but a
23:13
much more powerful device failed. On.
23:17
Second, A lovely although it looks vehicle
23:19
all that was the something that you could
23:21
do. You could.play against for other people. In.
23:24
Now I. I really wanted
23:27
the Atari Lynx, but the California
23:29
games and blue lining to sing
23:31
this a dump. I can't say
23:33
for that A hand held and
23:35
early nineties. Yasmin and Star Fox.
23:40
Has actually of but again it was.
23:42
It was too expensive and eight batteries
23:44
just too too much and so can
23:46
I went by that were me that
23:48
what's tie up to these days as
23:51
now they're actually they're publishing games now
23:53
Bob second game year. Good.
23:55
At that you mention this a good as a
23:57
pretty guess is him as same thing six bad.
24:00
Read and you got maybe two
24:02
hours. Out of then. They
24:05
have a great time playing Sonic to. Let
24:07
it is Sonic Ten. Yeah. Like
24:09
I think. I swear it's too
24:12
bad that the game your head such as
24:14
battery life because that is actually a really
24:16
good. Handheld. System with
24:18
some really good handheld games that
24:20
just. It. It. Was too
24:22
expensive and it was in a batters and less. Again,
24:24
a failure. My. Personal
24:26
favorite. Our contemporary competitor was the
24:29
Turbo Express, which was literally. A
24:32
turbo graphics sixteen shrunk
24:34
down. Into. A handheld
24:36
say it was about twice as thick
24:38
as a gameboy had a really weird
24:40
screen on it, but ah, like the
24:42
game year you could buy Tv tuner.
24:45
And. Watch. Tv and my one
24:47
friend who had his had the gameboy also
24:49
had. The Turbo Express and we simply
24:51
box adventure on it and we would Will
24:53
Yeah, that were like. Gather.
24:56
Around and watch tv. On.
24:58
Have meal and a half
25:00
inch screens just because. You.
25:03
Could. Buy again. Guess what?
25:06
Did. Last very long have failed. In fact,
25:08
Turbo Topographic never really caught on. America
25:10
would do the same type of ethics.
25:13
Rules of yeah, I'm. He were
25:15
to talk about give us pokemon but it also
25:17
led to the gameboy advance was led to the
25:19
Nintendo Ds was like didn't intend to three days
25:21
which we didn't switch and now I want to
25:23
ask this question of the panel. Was.
25:26
The Three D S Nintendo's altered
25:28
realization of the Gameboy dream or.
25:31
Is the Nintendo Switch? The.
25:33
Ultimate Realizations Discuss.
25:36
The. Suspense of us Less Yeah,
25:38
it's yes. Answered Yes sir Yes
25:41
is a great console. I think
25:43
we were saying nice things. say
25:45
nice things about it Last house
25:48
The So yeah I know the
25:50
Swiss affordable platform. Hybrid.
25:52
Com saw. Ah, Complain
25:55
a lot and different interests against
25:57
it is the ultimate realization. Of.
25:59
The game. Dream Alabama com
26:02
dream Really so. I
26:05
agree with that guy and I mean. That put
26:07
on the show. Before. Like month
26:09
a month a month ago. but I
26:11
I feel like we lost a little
26:13
something when we moved to a hybrid
26:15
console from the three the as the
26:17
three. as with kind of the last
26:19
hurrah for a very specific type of
26:21
gaming and I feel like can now.
26:25
But every time I sweat qualifier if
26:27
really hard to come up with coherent
26:29
argument for me undies the audience understand
26:31
what I need might like. We still
26:33
have handheld gaming devices. the path ahead
26:36
of gaming has gone, but basically every
26:38
handheld. Gaming device that is active on the
26:40
market with the exception of the playdate. I
26:42
is it really stick it in your pocket
26:44
right? Like it is kind of of his
26:46
family. a big computer or a big grandpa
26:48
that you're carrying around and maybe like a
26:50
backpack or something, but it loses that sort
26:52
of casual that such as reaching in your
26:55
pocket pulley unfolding the thing into starting to
26:57
play at right? So it's it is. It's
26:59
a little bit different and then we have
27:01
phones right? But the kinds of games that
27:03
are getting made for Fallen are different and
27:05
the kinds of games that were getting need
27:07
for dedicated handheld. Gaming devices right like
27:09
people are as As or other
27:11
some games that are trying to.
27:14
Be. Phone games and there's some the answer
27:16
to try to translate conflicts periods of on the
27:18
phone, but they're not. Is still functionally
27:20
a different experience than what Nintendo was trying
27:23
to create. Live with things like the Diaz
27:25
and the dual Screen and Easy and like
27:27
back in the Gameboy days. So I I
27:29
feel like The Switch The great I fuckin
27:31
Love the Switch. I do agree that it
27:34
is the ultimate realization that what Nintendo was
27:36
teasing here, but I also feel like we've
27:38
lost some of those smaller experiences that were
27:40
very specifically need. For a device that was
27:42
so small you get to slide than the
27:45
your pocket and then pop it out when
27:47
you were on the bus or a car
27:49
or whatever. And then. Rub I
27:51
couldn't. I can never fit that thing in my
27:53
pockets. Okay, Let's
27:57
be real, he didn't Growing up there
27:59
is no. Really pay. The
28:01
facility will begin in. Jeans. Beta
28:03
fish. He didn't
28:06
seem like good, a little a bad
28:08
parker having or if you are as
28:10
a young as as as I observed
28:12
growing up a young man when I
28:14
when I was a teenager or preteen
28:17
or even a child were very into
28:19
extremely large cargo pants with own dig
28:21
age and knows big place where I'm
28:23
Neil cities tens of millions but it's
28:26
fundamentally different experience I don't I don't
28:28
really know how to describe in the
28:30
there is there is. A
28:32
different level of effort put him to reaching
28:34
into my backpack and unpacking my switch on
28:37
public transit and playing at their as opposed
28:39
to just grabbing a gameboy or grabbing a
28:41
D S out of whatever pocket I happen
28:43
to have it in and playing that for
28:45
like five had met at It's. Like
28:48
you know I mean am I the owners
28:50
are known until I said and those points
28:52
that's why would say that the three D
28:54
s is that. Final, I know.
28:57
From piano my candidacy not the mailing when
28:59
I was thinking of the third of physical.
29:01
Oh my God. Man safe. If. The
29:03
person look at I remember hard
29:05
yeah but yeah I think the
29:07
treaty as as for that reason
29:09
reb like I think. When.
29:11
We had the gameboy all the way
29:14
up to the treaty as we had
29:16
very bespoke games made for. That handheld
29:18
like I said with Buck Tie earlier like
29:20
that game was may you could not play
29:23
that. On. Most
29:25
com full like it's it's wouldn't work is like
29:27
of move your counsel to the windows. Social
29:30
Eight today like it does it work. scrap
29:32
see as five itself against how did he
29:34
have to go Played on your balcony Ah
29:37
I'm If you want to get the power
29:39
up like it doesn't like we did, we
29:41
miss out on lot of those experiences. We
29:43
miss out on a yes The switch is.
29:47
Good. About having these games where
29:49
you can like a get together and
29:51
play locally with mario Kart or smash
29:53
and stuff like that but like I
29:56
don't feel like it's ever. Risen.
29:58
To that occasion that we got back in
30:00
a day when it's like hey, I've got,
30:03
you know, look, go trade pokemon. Like I
30:05
don't know. Too many people that are just
30:07
going getting together to go try a pokemon
30:09
locally. or I'm sure there are plenty. But
30:11
I'm not one of them, and I just kind of
30:13
up for the online trading stuff now. It.
30:16
Says in you know granted it's easier to
30:18
do that and thankfully they do that. but.
30:20
I. Think we're missing out on a lot of
30:23
those. Very unique experience that we only got
30:25
be a handheld and thoughts why Think the
30:27
Gameboys the Theist is the ultimate. Model.
30:30
Other illusion of but they were looking for. Cat
30:32
you have been to had. I.
30:35
Would like to unpack this a little that are
30:37
yes out. There. Is so. Gameboy comes
30:39
out Nineteen Eighty Nine around the same
30:41
time as the any essence at the
30:43
peak of his powers. and see we
30:45
forget about this for the Game Boy
30:47
was trying to shrink council level experiences
30:49
on to a good can't help it
30:51
was system A society at that time.
30:53
pass a level experiences. Were. Kind
30:55
of our Katie most of the
30:58
time. yeah, I played my first
31:00
ever Gameboy the my first their
31:02
experiences with Metroid and Zelda. We're
31:05
both on the gameplay Link's Awakening
31:07
and Metroid To Am at. I
31:09
too was a actually a pretty
31:11
remarkable in terms of it's overall
31:14
scope. Same. With when way current
31:16
games like that. And then
31:18
as time went on and
31:20
console games became far more
31:23
elaborate. Handheld like
31:25
the Gb A. And the
31:27
de Este became sort of the
31:29
last bastion of that era of
31:31
gaming. Say you'd be playing? for
31:33
example, on the Playstation Two, Metal
31:35
Gear Solid. Three. But
31:37
then if you went on to the gameboy color
31:39
you might be plane goes Babel which was goes
31:41
Paypal which is. You. Know a little
31:44
more of a classic metal gear. It's
31:46
errands right? Are you have the
31:48
top down to d Zelda games
31:50
versus the whole artery them time.
31:53
Experience and that was a
31:55
really nice differentiator. And. Now
31:58
we've reached a point. Where
32:00
I was argue that those kinds of
32:02
experiences that lived on hand held can
32:04
be found in indie games and so
32:07
yeah I. Don't. See, I
32:09
think that that level of
32:11
experimentation and handheld friendly stuff.
32:13
Can. Be found more in that
32:16
space. Overall. I don't
32:18
want to discount what you're
32:20
saying. We did lose the
32:22
weird accessories. Very. Easy the
32:24
get with the I'd Nintendo Ds and
32:26
such stuff like the I. Was.
32:28
A poco. A Poco walker you
32:30
you will get out of the
32:32
switch really anymore? The Gameboy camera.
32:35
That you will get the light
32:37
sensor from box type. Ab.
32:40
Argue or later. It's like the weird
32:42
A are stuff from Fates Raiders if
32:44
you're into that. They
32:46
are cards are you got that nobody
32:48
ever used and preserve some people dead
32:50
or years and while ago now. But.
32:54
Ah well my. My point being is that you
32:57
can find a lot of that. In.
32:59
The indie game experience, but it's been
33:01
interesting to watch. The. Evolution
33:03
of how. Dedicated.
33:05
Handheld gaming has lived alongside Console
33:07
gaming, going back to the old
33:10
Gameboy days. I
33:14
do so that over it's I am.
33:17
A dedicated it's. I.
33:19
Think over time the developers who are making
33:22
dedicated experiences for handheld game started making more.
33:24
The else suffer stop casing the Consul Juri
33:26
and like over time at movie. once you
33:28
get into the Game Boy Advance era and
33:30
and start moving into the the out there
33:33
and they were making very specific kinds of
33:35
smaller experiences that would look that and feel
33:37
good on a handheld as. A poor
33:39
college nudity Consul Wow Solely
33:41
or Tony Hawk of. This
33:45
is another thing that I I feel like I bring
33:48
up all the time but I i think there's a
33:50
handful of France has is that of actually suffered as
33:52
a result of Blue the head of state I think
33:54
public what other the a prime example at least live
33:56
leaking love the Golan and I think it is not
33:59
whether the transition. You are being a
34:01
console game well at all. I don't think
34:03
they've figured out what that looks like. Yeah
34:05
they've hit on some really good idea I
34:07
think Rts in Scarlet and Violet had some
34:10
really interesting concept and and some really great
34:12
pathways that they could take to brilliant but
34:14
it's then I require about ready to talk
34:16
about the top three switch games since would
34:19
have preferred Rpg is of like the next
34:21
topic we have planned and spoiler the i
34:23
don't have a Pokemon game and there despite
34:25
the old and local on man yes and
34:28
it's not because I don't like oh. Come
34:30
on it, because I think they have assembled upon
34:32
Britain as the eye on that ledge. And it's
34:34
I know. What it's
34:36
gonna say they need to be kind of you
34:39
to fundamentally reimagine what they what pokemon to be
34:41
going forward but on handheld they had the idea
34:43
and I only put them on the only a.
34:46
Theory. That a suffered from that either. I actually think.
34:50
I think that Harvest Ministry of Seasons, both
34:53
for a lot of different reasons, have not
34:55
managed to make that translation well at. I
34:57
don't think that they they were handled franchises for
34:59
years and years and years as they they did
35:02
start. I believe on Com Harvest is an uncomfortable
35:04
he said to me they committed themselves to being
35:06
he and help for so long as we're in
35:08
factories. Another example, it's really struggling to make. Games.
35:12
That are specific and
35:14
this. Like.
35:17
Very very physically crafted for causal as opposed to
35:19
kind of important for a handheld experience of and
35:21
there's a i had a whole lot less that
35:23
I wrote up one time of games like that
35:26
actually another. Style Fatties another one
35:28
I really want a file Savvy sneaky
35:30
about was passing Dreamer on which. Honestly
35:33
not that exciting. I.
35:36
Wish that sense of the I had. To.
35:38
Turn. On that for yeah
35:40
I've ever go through the handful of franchises
35:43
that are struggling like guy and nights. I
35:45
hope they can come into their own soon,
35:47
because it's above seamless. That. It's
35:50
funny that you mentioned started Valley because
35:52
that was a game that directly aimed
35:54
at the more dedicated handheld. Friends.
35:57
Of mineral Town look. Harvest.
35:59
Moon. Anthony Efflux and.
36:02
Incorporated. A lot of live service
36:04
aspects with the Thompson updates and everything and
36:06
it worked. Incredibly. Well you
36:09
never tried to go treaty. The.
36:11
Never tried to have the expansive open world.
36:13
Like. The The P S Two
36:15
games for example of Harvest Moon
36:17
and Pokemon I. First of all
36:19
I agree with you this that
36:21
oh come on. Has. Not whether
36:23
transition. I don't think that's the Nintendo switch.
36:26
his fault. I think that's a
36:28
pokemon. The pokemon cup me game freak
36:30
have not done a great job. Of
36:33
scaling up there the technical
36:35
logical requirements. Of. Putting a
36:38
Pokemon game, In. A treaty
36:40
space Nintendo Switch seems to
36:42
be. Really? Beyond them, they
36:44
seem very challenged by that. In many
36:46
ways, in the fundamentals, a pokemon still
36:49
holds true. It. Is always been
36:51
a social game is one of the earliest
36:53
I would argue sort of games as a
36:55
service aspects going all the way back. To.
36:58
The original. Nintendo. He
37:00
was always meant to be share with your
37:02
friends and that aspect of it holds up
37:04
just fine on an online space on a
37:06
platform like the Nintendo Switch. But.
37:10
Game. Freak just can't seem to
37:12
keep up with the requirements of
37:14
putting something as fast as Pokemon
37:17
on a more sophisticated handheld. Like.
37:19
The Nintendo Switch. So in that respect a
37:21
a sort of agree with you. It's not
37:24
really whether that transition well but it should.
37:27
A better developer would that about do it. I
37:29
agree. I I think my name point is that there
37:31
are some developers who have not made that trans us
37:33
and well and it is selling. I don't think about
37:36
the only one by any measure but made. It
37:38
I definitely the biggest. When
37:41
you been to the specific. The
37:45
same as the Gameboy Advance, but you know
37:48
they have enough similarities and how people use
37:50
that when you develop. When you built your
37:52
city around developing for a very specific tethered
37:54
to fight for ten sixteen, I don't know
37:56
long as it's that many, many years it's
37:58
it's really hard to pivot. Yeah.
38:00
I mean even any notice? Reedy as
38:03
Pokemon x. Was. Going
38:05
to three the have frame rate his
38:07
shoes at last content. I mean everybody
38:09
loves Pokemon X now but at the
38:12
time it was clay I always loved
38:14
that was at throw. That
38:17
he says well as a structural difference
38:19
with development. I mean it's like. What?
38:21
If a developer only made city games for
38:23
their entire span of like oh hey, let's
38:26
take a three game now. you're gonna see
38:28
the cracks at the edges No matter what,
38:30
there's gonna be some areas where is like
38:32
we just aren't ready for this, a mother
38:34
that is shown in the final product or
38:36
shown through development. The C. V a
38:38
delays or a scrap contest
38:41
like. It's. Gonna sell like in
38:43
it's just it's just a matter of getting
38:45
your reps in development wise and. You.
38:47
Know hopefully Pokemon Company Game
38:49
Freak is you know, taking
38:51
the time right now, learning
38:53
actually learning the lessons from
38:55
Sword Sealed Scar Violet and
38:57
Like and Rcs in. Actually
39:00
taken at feedback that. everybody's giving them and
39:02
is just going to kind of like they
39:04
were going to chill for a minute on
39:06
arteries and like. Give. You an
39:08
actual what you guys want because
39:10
even you know detect the piquancy
39:12
which was looks great but like
39:15
it also had. Things. And
39:17
that wasn't even nowhere near as big. As.
39:19
Scarlett, Violet, You though. It's.
39:21
As I think pokemon in general some I
39:23
think another important lesson that they should take
39:25
his odds tears of the kingdom. Just go
39:27
talk to them and have them just break.
39:30
the next you know give you some tips
39:32
on making the most of. Seamless.
39:34
Open world game experience of all time. But
39:37
our yeah couple days ago fall Sarney Valley
39:39
as thick as to go back to top
39:41
down to the by make it is were
39:43
high fantasy. Can I mean I were going
39:46
to talk of our bridges emitted by I
39:48
personally believe that all Rpgs should be turn
39:50
based. top down at the very most Isometric
39:52
white off a real quick. I want to
39:55
see that the the biggest thing I miss
39:57
about Three D S is the sound of
39:59
it. A Closing in a way
40:01
that it feels it was attacked our
40:04
wonderful i'm a minor You did really.
40:06
I definitely did not. My kids definitely
40:08
did Put steaks are fine like the
40:10
agency is great to hold. It was
40:13
really a says yeah that is one
40:15
of the best. The Aslan Madison Sickly.
40:18
Really nasty. I'm. A.
40:20

40:23
Ah, I were Visible. We're

40:54
Year, I decided I actually wanted to
40:56
like follow Hockey a little bit more
40:58
than just the most casual of casual.
41:01
So I subscribed to a service that
41:03
streams all of the Nhl to your
41:05
television or the Boston Bruins home opener.
41:07
I went to watch it and Boom!
41:10
Blackout restrictions apply which I thought was
41:12
kind of ridiculous because I'm still two
41:14
hundred miles away from Boston, but whatever.
41:16
Had I had Nord Vpn that wouldn't
41:18
ban a problem, I would have just
41:21
gone and she's my settings to know
41:23
geographic areas and. Boom! I could have
41:25
been watching all the Boston Bruins home
41:27
games like it was nothing at all.
41:30
So now I have Nord Vpn and
41:32
I could watch the home games of
41:34
my local teams streaming without being frustrated.
41:37
It's the same thing with like Netflix
41:39
has always complicated licensing rules which from
41:41
one country to another don't really make
41:44
sense. So something you could watch on
41:46
South Korea Netflix. You won't be able
41:48
to watch on the United States Netflix
41:50
unless your Vpn. Boom, Switch South Korea
41:53
and you're watching whatever. Korean drama
41:55
that you want. I highly recommend you
41:57
do that. I haven't done it myself.
42:00
People seem to enjoy them and who
42:02
I to try to bring down people's
42:04
enjoyment or north he be at more
42:06

42:08

bad actors, people trying to steal your

42:18
knows what the government's doing these days?
42:21
I can't keep track. They're all over
42:23
the damn place. Nord Vpn is going
42:25
to protect. You can protect up to
42:27

Nice of them, and I appreciate that. I.
43:24

43:26
joke but I wanted of, oh I wanted
43:28
to did this isn't a joke, budget repairs.
43:30
just did his job. Gameboy World sort of
43:32
retrospective on the anniversary and it's like of
43:34
them is like everything german us really good
43:36
in Dc to check that out on you
43:38
tube. but. Now. We're going
43:40
to talk about. Our. Server Curry say
43:43
with the top three must play switch
43:45
games this week! I'm very excited. Because.
43:47
We have our top three. Rpgs,
43:50
And it is so hard. To.
43:52
Decide because ah, the Nintendo Switch.
43:55
Is maybe the best
43:57
Rpg machine going. Now
44:00
I'm not exactly sure, but cats
44:02
as the undisputed champion of Rpg
44:04
knowledge. ah I would like to
44:06
start with you. I would love
44:08
to hear your must play picks.
44:11
I know this was difficult for
44:13
you to to to winnow down.
44:16
Yeah, it's really hard and picked number one.
44:19
Am. These are all much
44:21
to these are multi platform one is
44:24
switch nato. And Dragon Quest
44:26
Eleven S Yeah is incredible on
44:28
the Nintendo Switch. and it's one
44:30
of the best rpgs. Amphora.
44:33
Is one of the best and
44:35
trees in that series. I
44:38
think Bq five might topic fat and
44:40
eleven as. It is somewhere
44:42
is really really good. Looks great on the
44:45
switch to Yeah as he did an incredible
44:47
job of translating it over. To
44:49
the sled. So beautiful music. Very
44:52
heart wrenching. This. Am a
44:54
lot of surprises, especially toward the and wonderful
44:56
tribute to Dragon Quest. Overall: So you have
44:58
a plane it and you are looking for
45:00
an entry into the Dragon Quest? Serious? this
45:03
is the one. Yeah, I didn't have a
45:05
sixteen bit mode to. I
45:08
debated over this one a little bit. Ah,
45:11
because personally speaking, I like
45:13
Fire Emblem Engage better. But
45:15
I. Mean. A put out
45:17
fire emblem three houses because I think
45:19
as an Rpg. Ah, Certainly
45:21
from a storytelling perspective, the
45:23
characters are all the different
45:25
factions and everything. And the
45:28
school exploration aspect. I think Fire Emblem
45:30
Three Houses is certainly one of the
45:32
best games. On. The slants
45:34
and an absolute must play really
45:36
transform the series. On. Our
45:39
platform and when I think a
45:41
switch three houses stephen one that
45:43
comes to mind immediately. And. Finally
45:45
this one as recent see bias but
45:47
I just in a certain I absolutely
45:49
adored at another tack this game has
45:52
this games want to talk about tax
45:54
schemes being really freaking good. Dedicated
45:57
had holds because there's a kind of
45:59
john are they. Turn off your platform.
46:01
Put it away. Pick it up. Put it away. A
46:04
Unicorn Overlord is one of my
46:06
favorite games of the year. Might
46:08
be my personal game of the
46:11
air. Oh. It's really, really good.
46:13
I'm a Nintendo switch. It. Looks
46:15
beautiful. He. Had some
46:18
really dance. And. Just keep
46:20
surprising you through the entirety of
46:22
the game. There's so much to
46:24
find and discover. Com. Is
46:27
really delightful if you joy
46:29
putting together teams which I
46:31
do personally affected. The characters
46:34
are all enjoyable and memorably
46:36
designed. Or the actual battles go
46:38
by really, really fast so you can get
46:40
through them pretty quickly. And it does a
46:42
great job of Detroit realizing itself. So.
46:44
There's a says it's a it's a
46:47
It's a real dark horse. A real
46:49
hidden gem. Nintendo Switch and
46:51
absolutely recommend that. I would definitely put into
46:53
my like top three must play Rpgs on
46:55
the switch. Or a that's
46:58
a strong showing from cat. say
47:00
to you for that Reb what
47:02
have you got on deck for
47:04
your top three Must Play Nintendo
47:06
Switch Rpg! This is. Very that a
47:09
call and actually kept reading and tactics game
47:11
kind of makes lead the it's and. I
47:13
hadn't really was a little and I do. That
47:16
and it's either thinking oh whatever you attack
47:18
the same segment later on I wanna save
47:20
that for that's that's right I try to
47:22
that's when to go like pure old school
47:25
turn based rpg with that because we talk
47:27
about like action games and stuff later I'm
47:29
going to have entries the cross into the
47:31
Rpg faces up anyway I my first one
47:33
I listed under tail. I have actually talked
47:35
about and retail in one of these segments
47:37
before because it was one of my my
47:39
top three in the they believe my players
47:42
I. I don't think I need
47:44
to go into that again on
47:46
why under Taylor that the lives
47:48
of the absolute that gave other
47:50
flights and is in my top
47:52
ten games of all time it
47:54
is. It is phenomenal it
47:56
of heartfelt there. For the story but I actually
47:58
think it for the talking or. The combat. It
48:00
has a really interesting take on that with
48:03
the sort of. Turn. Based
48:05
hovel style but also bullet Hell situation
48:07
is the mix mixture of trying to
48:09
figure out the how you're playing at.
48:11
I'm trying to figure out how to
48:13
talk your way out of situations without
48:16
fighting after playing a path that this
48:18
route while also. Sort.
48:20
Of navigating all these little bullet hell
48:22
tactics that it throws at you whether
48:24
you're just.dodging things are trying to collect
48:26
things in a in a very limited
48:28
space and it it really plays a
48:31
lot of experimental concepts in that realm.
48:33
so I I. I. Think under
48:35
Taylor's. It is an absolute must. Play for
48:37
anybody. Regardless of what genre you're you're looking
48:39
for a habit of it around a plane.
48:42
It so guys and says is that he can
48:44
please also room which I'm really enjoying so far,
48:46
but I don't know if that's going to make the
48:48
list depends on what happens in the next several chapters.
48:50
Okay, The the
48:52
other team I put on here I I really
48:54
rough over these because I have a lot of
48:56
love for the bravely default and off the path
48:59
traveled traveler theories as and I'd I wanted to
49:01
do something to represent them on here, but I
49:03
also had trouble figuring out where to go. Actually,
49:08
Year. I.
49:10
Really, I didn't play the perfect match other alone
49:13
not have Traveler to. And then I played Live
49:15
a Life as well. And I think that they're
49:17
all kind of variation on the same concept right?
49:19
like you have. The sort of big group of
49:22
heroes were somewhat the connected who than by the
49:24
and come together to fight off agree evil I
49:26
think I suppose Traveler was in some ways inspired
49:28
by Level as the switch version of Live A
49:31
Life of course a complete remake of a very
49:33
old game in Hc. Judy. At
49:35
a litle as still has the just man
49:38
I just it's so good I that's the
49:40
way it pulls. The stories together the
49:42
and again like like under tell the
49:44
way it experiments with different game play
49:46
styles. I the way it it both.
49:49
Parodies. And lovingly eyes
49:51
as. Sort. Of. Characterize.
49:54
As a bunch of the other
49:56
different video games on rez a
49:58
bunch of different movies. Zoc. I
50:01
am. Are. All different kinds of
50:03
stories. A I think a lot of people bounced
50:05
off Live Alive when they played the demo because
50:07
they felt that some of the the demo stories
50:09
were a little bit generic. I but I think
50:12
the demo is not. And an
50:14
accurate. And.
50:16
An accurate demonstration of what you're in
50:18
for because the basically where the demo
50:20
is is. Where. All of the stories
50:22
get real wacky and real intense and emotional.
50:24
I I I I fell in love with
50:27
this gem. The music is incredible, the combat
50:29
a super interesting, the ways the different character
50:31
could move about least as good faith arm
50:33
and a different feelings of attacks depending on
50:35
whether they're a close race fighter or whether
50:38
they're like a little robot guy or whatever
50:40
they it is. The little narrative in the
50:42
game is off the charts. I just really
50:44
fucking love it. Anyway, live a life is
50:46
incredible and more people should plan. I I
50:49
think it's it's the best of it's class.
50:51
Or the floods and I don't understand why somebody t
50:53
ball bounces off of that. The
50:58
final game I've been on here again I was
51:00
just really, really struggling. but I needed. Like.
51:04
I really wanted to represent the
51:06
and the most needy. It's. Rpgs,
51:10
Rpg that I could and know I
51:12
women really default to. I was was
51:14
I really really loved it's it's got
51:16
that said, good old Job system that
51:18
we are where he is. Martha characters
51:20
in a lot of different Zoc job
51:22
of passing the now and then moving
51:24
them in the other dog of years
51:26
ago though the validity of and you're
51:28
just played all that is all the
51:30
tactics of who's Defender. Cause you're saying
51:33
there's still. Garbage
51:45
at the end which I love I love
51:47
with gave a real but and weird or
51:49
animal brain. Matter
51:53
but than it does where you could
51:56
basically spend turned who guard and ah
51:58
it to a store up. He.
52:00
Didn't ever shoring up turn for yourself. so if
52:02
I did out on a turn I guard but
52:05
then the next time I can attack twice and
52:07
then if I default again I can attack three
52:09
times in one turn and so of basically all
52:11
your fights are deciding whether you want to get
52:13
really aggressive and spend all of your extra tax
52:16
early on so there isn't any risk not be
52:18
able to do anything for several term or if
52:20
you want to like Surratt power for later or
52:22
how you want to handle those aren't so cool.
52:26
A lot of the he was was really pretty
52:28
looking job. I like the style of it very
52:30
much. When I played it a couple years ago
52:32
I haven't played it recently. Thoughts: It's hard to
52:34
say how well it's aged but I it I'd
52:37
like to and a bit Us President of of
52:39
the. Costume. Designs are so good.
52:41
Oh yeah, I'm very gondola. Oh
52:43
my God. I love the art
52:45
style. Specifically, I think there's the there's a
52:47
couple different directions they deem the game for
52:49
the free with a policy the Final Fantasy
52:51
tradition and side of the Final fantasy sort
52:54
of. your list of games have gone in
52:56
a couple different directions with the art style
52:58
result leaders I got. There's a different city
53:00
style that they use that I don't really
53:02
like very much, but this one specifically works
53:04
for be yes I really really laser beam.
53:07
Whips it is. It was the
53:09
man would. Yeah I love how
53:11
each boss battle is very challenging
53:13
and you have to be very
53:16
intentional about how you sort of
53:18
your party new different job classes.
53:20
The strategy is so much fun
53:22
it is definitely if I could
53:25
do a top four i think
53:27
really defaults you would be like
53:29
number for others. Zero Metal Gear
53:32
to the really are moments in
53:34
for sure. If elected something
53:36
that a lot of Rpgs kind of
53:38
miss out on his the intentionality you
53:41
have to have with your party and
53:43
your actions is especially for big boss
53:45
fights like I don't. Need.
53:48
Ah, you know. Final: Fantasy Thirteen
53:50
is one of his games were like stay there
53:52
survive Readers have to debug the enemy for a
53:54
bunch of turns. Like. I don't need that
53:56
with every enemy like in the game, but
53:59
for. Me: Influential moments like
54:01
these big boss fights that are split.
54:03
the have this like challenge this week
54:05
to them I want to be challenge
54:07
like. I'm okay with going in
54:09
and like with my standard party. And then
54:11
they thing instantly like okay, that
54:13
doesn't work yeah, what do I
54:15
need It seems. That a make this
54:18
work. I love that women are Pg challenges
54:20
us like that and I still like not
54:22
enough Rpg. See that nowadays? Know. What? One
54:24
of my favorite things about that game. As when you're
54:26
when you're in the thick of it, when you first
54:29
started playing thrill and and trying to test things out,
54:31
I yearn. Gear. Your public. Mood
54:34
work fast and which ones are gonna do
54:37
been big damage and then you go on
54:39
line and you find people have sort of.
54:41
The. Puzzle. The south of
54:43
South or months and eight. O'clock Now integrate
54:46
She let's. Say figure it out like
54:48
a build that will just do of.
54:50
The biggest possible amount of damage to
54:53
every single boss by if you just
54:55
it is very convoluted combination of jobs,
54:57
abilities and and boss and it's so
54:59
cool to see what people have been
55:01
able to puzzle hour later. Tits is
55:03
is really big the of parties that
55:05
will hit everything like a. Zillion.
55:08
Thought the hammer at so good. Yeah.
55:10
That's awesome! Love the game! Did
55:12
you have a an honorable mention? I. Did
55:14
and the my laptop dies. I forgot. What I
55:17
wrote on their so you're the one that each
55:19
was chained echoes. So
55:23
bravely default he was your honorable mention.
55:26
You have a Unesco audible. Ah
55:28
now and I often costs say that
55:30
has actually I think I'm like what
55:32
I said offense to say that cause
55:34
I think it's also worth talking about.
55:36
I I was looking looking at with
55:39
Rpgs trigger am I. Really
55:43
like feel. Like
55:45
it as much. Because I had just
55:47
played say the echoes and say echoes
55:50
give it came out I'd ethic december
55:52
of twenty twenty two or something results.
55:54
It missed like everybody's radar I, but
55:56
it really is. It's a good Kroner
55:59
trigger feel, right? The problem. At
56:02
three three people in your bubble party at
56:04
a given time following you around on the
56:06
map, getting into Encounter is like actually on
56:08
the map of have been an open as
56:10
a whole thing with. next I would agree
56:12
is as a whole separate system for Mac
56:14
combat. I is. At the
56:16
story that up disappointing the a little
56:18
bit fed say change echoes I thought
56:20
was one of the most interesting kind
56:23
of. What? One of
56:25
the few games that really delivered on his promise
56:27
of hey remember those old rpg the used to
56:29
love on the author says well we're bringing that
56:31
back I think as a more than any other
56:34
game that I played in recent years that really
56:36
delivers that fantasy while also having it's own very
56:38
clear identity as opposed to just sort of you
56:40
know trying to copy things that it's seen elsewhere.
56:42
I really really like Chained Echoes that if you
56:45
if you were indicia or if you place the
56:47
a started sell off of it go check out
56:49
say that goes I think it's one of the
56:51
one of the best. Rpg fox much right
56:53
now. Absolutely gorgeous as well as going
56:56
idea was i think done entirely by
56:58
one. Person. Or thirtieth. I'm sure
57:00
they're like a little bit of help their but yeah,
57:02
that's. A real that is a great choice
57:04
that as a game that I actually forgot
57:06
to go back and play. Now I was
57:08
watching the the Screw hear you talk about
57:11
like I want to go back as employee,
57:13
go read or what have you got for
57:15
us on your top three Must Play Rpg
57:17
is. So. I built my list last
57:19
minute because I wasn't sure of going
57:21
to be on today. Was editor them
57:23
and tell you those Italy Fine. Ah.
57:25
It's totally fine I'm and so I
57:27
also play off of games that weren't.
57:30
Mentioned before ah I'm just he
57:32
has confirmed Mad and his A
57:34
love you. Ah, I'm and
57:36
so it's sir. I went with
57:38
games. Some. Of my top Rpg that
57:40
you can find on the switch, I'm in
57:42
so one of them is only on the
57:44
switch. I'll start with that when an athlete.
57:46
Mario Rabid sparks of hope. Ah,
57:49
This is inspired actually by cats. Unicorn
57:51
Overlord. Tactics. Baby Tactics
57:53
Rpgs like. I.
57:56
Never had a million years would have thought. will
57:58
be soft getting a Mario license. Would have
58:00
turned into such. A fantastic.
58:03
Yeah, I'm a nettle, let alone
58:06
a fantastic strategy rpg. I'm and
58:08
everything about Sparks the Hopes and
58:10
Battle Kingdom which came before it
58:12
is just fantastic. Sparks hope builds
58:14
upon everything I've ranted about the
58:17
seem so many fans. On the show like.
58:19
Phil. Play Sparks the hope it's cheap
58:21
it's I'm always on. Family is probably
58:23
very now that go pick up. It's
58:25
so good is that so much death
58:27
between how you can equip the different
58:29
stars to the rabid starts to like
58:31
give you different powers one and they
58:34
can retain kimi, more damage with you,
58:36
more supports. There's so. Many different variations on
58:38
how you to do that. There's some really
58:40
clever puzzles and the over world that you
58:42
can. You can take care. Of for other
58:44
for currency and upgrade are all the
58:46
characters have their own skill trees which
58:49
gives different you know help push them
58:51
into different job roles. Ah I'm and
58:53
So and your. You. Know encourage
58:55
the so you're and you're encouraged to swap
58:57
your party up between battles be based on
59:00
what's the environments and look like you know
59:02
a fiscal a lot of open distances. You're
59:04
probably going want to bring Luigi in a
59:06
sniper rifle or is though so you can
59:09
cite people from across the map. You.
59:11
Know if you're going to be doing a
59:13
lot of of it's very close quarters. Ring.
59:16
Rabid Mario cause he's got that a we
59:18
punches that just like. You. Will
59:20
damage to everybody likes. This game is
59:22
fantastic. It's so well designed and I just
59:24
I want more people to play at.
59:26
So this was outside the phone the
59:28
first on my list. Oh yeah I've
59:30
got next for us. Next up I've
59:33
got is. Neil.
59:35
World ends with you know
59:37
we're talking about. Bravely default
59:39
to an. How much We love
59:41
the out the the suffer, the
59:44
outfits and the music. And everything like
59:46
that. and why you don't change your actual. A
59:48
look of your characters India world them with youth.
59:50
You do get to where you know pick up
59:52
a bunch clothing it seems all your staff and
59:55
stuff it just doesn't show. Ah I'm in the
59:57
game which is fine. Other so many options like
59:59
I don't know. They would have done it, but. Fantastic
1:00:01
story. Great follow up, especially with
1:00:04
them losing. Their. You know
1:00:06
we talk about. We talked earlier about how
1:00:08
teams that failed to kind of like
1:00:10
are having to struggle to transition from
1:00:12
handheld to on com. Full. I think world
1:00:14
ends with you Did. A. Fantastic job of
1:00:16
moving away from of losing
1:00:18
that access to touch controls.
1:00:21
And losing it's all just kind of button. Combat.
1:00:25
I'm. It definitely does lose a
1:00:27
little bit of that charm, but it's
1:00:29
so minimal that it's like you kind
1:00:31
of i forgot at a point and
1:00:33
like oh yeah, I have to use
1:00:36
my stylus and draw handles and you
1:00:38
know, flashes and stuff like that to
1:00:40
do different attacks on as easy as
1:00:42
the it's got a group panic. Really
1:00:44
good story. Love the music like that.
1:00:47
The music is constantly playing in my
1:00:49
spotify lists like. Just. A
1:00:51
plus game. And I hope
1:00:53
we get more rodents of you because I
1:00:55
really like where the story goes in world
1:00:58
and in neo was that it ended So.
1:01:00
He. Added with half the world And and for hisself
1:01:02
them. To bomber. Which got
1:01:04
and what's next? Ah, another one. Sold.
1:01:07
I'm actually kind of rep. Didn't mention
1:01:09
this one because of her love for
1:01:11
Golden Sun, but I'm not. bring up
1:01:14
cross code ah, profit or is this
1:01:16
fantastic little rpg? Like going back the
1:01:18
old school days. Got a ton of
1:01:20
environmental a puzzle. Solving and such. Arm
1:01:23
is this one like really caught
1:01:25
me off guard. I wasn't expecting.
1:01:27
To love this one as much. I picked it
1:01:29
up on a sale and just played it randomly
1:01:31
and I looked down and it was like forty
1:01:34
hours later and I'm like hello, I need to
1:01:36
do all the extra stuff now. Ah,
1:01:38
Because I love this game. Like the
1:01:40
characters are are very are very cool.
1:01:43
Very well written A Puzzles like I
1:01:45
said are excellent. Ah I'm and it's
1:01:47
it's it's got a great Rpg battle
1:01:50
system as well into it. I really
1:01:52
loves cross code. I. Said I
1:01:54
said I was very good. I. This
1:01:57
is embarrassing if epithet Health Athletic. Years
1:01:59
ago. There were too hard. I got
1:02:01
it. Does it? Does. Get very a dog
1:02:03
it very challenging. Me. I
1:02:05
think I could have been it eventually but I got
1:02:08
suck on a boss battle that us is having a
1:02:10
really hard time with them and wasn't really getting any
1:02:12
better at it and so I think I i i
1:02:14
bounced off at that point but I really did love
1:02:16
it at the time it's it's quite a good game.
1:02:22
Due. To have an argument for us? I
1:02:24
do. And so this is. This is part
1:02:26
of the. Great the A H D
1:02:28
collection. This is specifically for grandee A
1:02:30
to. Ukrainian to is
1:02:33
like. One. Of my favorite
1:02:35
Rpg of all time. Of
1:02:37
the only reason why can't I did put it in my
1:02:39
top three here and switches. On. Is
1:02:42
it doesn't really hold up as well in modern
1:02:44
days as it did back in the past. What?
1:02:46
He. Battle System in Granja to I think
1:02:49
is still one of the best battle
1:02:51
systems in an Rpg that does does
1:02:53
not get enough love and is not
1:02:55
seen. Your combat is turn based but
1:02:57
it's also got a real time component.
1:02:59
Swear if you attack and opponent with
1:03:01
the right attack at the right time
1:03:03
you can cancel direction or delay the
1:03:06
racks and it's a very. Completely.
1:03:08
Prevent enemies from being able to
1:03:10
do anything. Ah, I'm. It's.
1:03:13
Just it's a fantastic third. The storyline
1:03:15
and to is great. I love all
1:03:17
the characters. ah I'm is got some
1:03:19
real good highs and lows. ah I'm
1:03:21
as it got some really cool abilities
1:03:23
once you get to the late game
1:03:25
and get like the wrote the upgrade
1:03:27
them level everybody up like some of
1:03:29
the abilities are just fantastic to look
1:03:31
at. Nice arm and it's gotten very
1:03:33
those like very iconic ah like said.
1:03:36
He. Of I think one of things that
1:03:38
kind of lost in games in general is
1:03:40
lot of characters having like these very trademark.
1:03:43
Like. Like one liners and stuff like
1:03:45
that and or my gonna yell out
1:03:47
there moves and like. Ready. To
1:03:49
got a bunch of those so I love and for
1:03:51
that. A Free music so. Ah
1:03:54
Yeah soundtrack. To.
1:03:56
Solve lists anything any any less as
1:03:58
a dream cast game. It is always
1:04:00
gonna go over well with pretty much
1:04:03
everybody. Ari Ari Who's rate here my
1:04:05
exciting list? I'm here. You've heard the
1:04:07
day before I bravely default to is
1:04:09
probably my favorite. I reviewed it. I
1:04:11
give it a in retrospect maybe I
1:04:13
should have given it a nine. I
1:04:16
did a lot of the post game
1:04:18
stuff like there's are more jobs that
1:04:20
you can get in Nyack. I've liked
1:04:22
Ultimate Job and I'm. I
1:04:24
don't have occupied traveler on my list or
1:04:26
octopus have a to and I did realize
1:04:29
while I was watching the bravely default to
1:04:31
footage why I didn't like Octave Pass traveler
1:04:33
to as much as ought to pass traveler
1:04:35
in spite of aka Petrova to being what
1:04:37
is probably better gates and as because Octopi
1:04:40
Travel did not exist in a world with
1:04:42
bravely default to I think ready to fall
1:04:44
to is. Just fantastic and
1:04:46
will do what I want. A game
1:04:48
that didn't make. The leap from
1:04:51
handheld to call? yeah well that was not
1:04:53
a did I mean there's get the something
1:04:55
to be said about it on the three
1:04:57
D s because it is his second. adorable
1:05:00
little. Of. I don't know what
1:05:02
I recall, but dire ama. But. Rather
1:05:04
to fall to ah Jack Quest eleven
1:05:06
as yeah that rules This one is
1:05:09
surprising though I'm I do have not
1:05:11
finished his game. I'm but.
1:05:13
I'm but a seat Me directly. Chronicles three
1:05:16
is the first Zero Re Chronicles that I
1:05:18
had a hard time putting down. I eventually
1:05:20
get distracted because it is very dense and
1:05:22
there's a lot to do. But as she
1:05:24
really enjoyed that, I think that is probably
1:05:26
one of the. Absolute best Rpgs
1:05:28
and if for honorable mention am
1:05:30
est the Final Fantasy Pixel rematches
1:05:32
I know as cheating but now
1:05:34
that is absolutely wonderful way to
1:05:36
play. Those. All guests. Self.
1:05:40
I just wish you didn't have to pay one
1:05:42
hundred dollars to import the Ah The Switch cartridge.
1:05:44
I wish were just a normal. Us.
1:05:46
Release from Kinda I'm our current.
1:05:49
I. Know, But then it's like I
1:05:51
don't want to spend eighteen dollars to
1:05:53
buy Final Fantasy Six, which is designed
1:05:55
for five and six didn't you need
1:05:57
to? from some. Now. We're. Though
1:06:00
I actually have the first excuse me the first
1:06:02
one on I'm. On my sounded.
1:06:04
Added. Second here: Final Fantasy fans getting
1:06:06
so mad at me right now see
1:06:08
also read shows himself Story: Like I
1:06:10
said, Three into that. like. To.
1:06:13
O J the to and nobody to get
1:06:16
my to then I'd are now it's fine
1:06:18
but one is over. Did just like to
1:06:20
build a plan C like were originated from.
1:06:22
I was a bit frightened. The best experience
1:06:24
to have on your phone because you could
1:06:26
just be like I'm gonna grind for better
1:06:28
than just put it away It was but
1:06:30
I played three. ah I think that he
1:06:32
was a really cool. It was really cool
1:06:34
back in the any as a bit days.
1:06:37
But then I played a much better
1:06:39
version of it Was his final fantasy:
1:06:41
Five Plants, deep minute, normals every respect,
1:06:43
and three which is. Pretty. Gimmicky
1:06:45
in boring by comparison Blue well if is

1:07:20
book that I read in college. I
1:07:22
was a pretentious little English major in
1:07:24
college and I took a seminar class
1:07:26
on same size as Ulysses and college
1:07:29
and I haven't really think that sense.
1:07:31
Ah but I have. I'll take
1:07:33
that same size as Ulysses again
1:07:35
the as well guarded by like
1:07:38
people who aren't. Smart. About this
1:07:40
stuff as one of their greatest. Novel.
1:07:43
Ever I have a very dense and
1:07:45
difficult to read as I have reminding
1:07:47
myself I'd aided by like I have
1:07:49
I have like what are these companion
1:07:51
bucks or whatever that we got in
1:07:53
college that have all it like all
1:07:55
of these notes and annotations explaining what's
1:07:57
happening is. If you're not familiar with you, Basically
1:08:00
a book about a guy walking around
1:08:02
Dublin all day. I. I. Have no
1:08:05
idea what read the showing us right now I'm against
1:08:07
it Looks like what Ulysses just as to look like
1:08:09
or create a may. Surname

own internal monologues and self doubts. the
1:08:27
struggles that he has his work and
1:08:29
three be the man is going through
1:08:31
it. Basically A but it's it's a
1:08:34
very difficult read and it's It's very
1:08:36
weird and it's also really enjoyable and
1:08:38
I'm just I'm having a fun time
1:08:40
sort of sitting. Down. And puzzling out this
1:08:42
very very difficult luck and and reminding myself of
1:08:44
the things I learned in college and also. Finding
1:08:47
the things that I understand a little bit better

as soon as my my lady
1:11:10
through healthy get through the final
1:11:12
boss is very challenging. You're mentioning
1:11:14
to know that I'm. You. Like
1:11:16
challenging Rpgs? Yeah, you start cranking up
1:11:18
the difficulty on this line and it
1:11:20
gets along forgiving. And I spend a
1:11:22
lotta time putting together parties that could
1:11:24
navigate a lot of different situations. And
1:11:26
that one and. A high
1:11:29
rate. I so I. Found.
1:11:31
Myself at one players play as and I'm
1:11:33
like thirty forty hours and but the finish
1:11:36
the third or fourth region right now and
1:11:38
I got to a plane in the second
1:11:40
or third reason why was like you know
1:11:42
at this is too easy for me right
1:11:45
now like I have these parties optimized so
1:11:47
much so I read optimized my party around
1:11:49
a rapport and support conversation so I like
1:11:51
went through the list like okay who needs
1:11:53
to be in what party with which is
1:11:56
then see it as an. Oh.
1:11:58
My God they are like the worst party. What?
1:12:00
no I'm not fat your hair
1:12:02
of together. Ah amazing flight. They.
1:12:05
Work because. What?
1:12:07
I was doing previous was like okay this
1:12:09
is a set up in this quite whites
1:12:11
through armies instantly. Now I'm getting into battles
1:12:13
and I'm like okay. I need
1:12:15
to move this made to the front
1:12:17
row for some weird reason. They take
1:12:20
less. Damage this fight it he can. I do
1:12:22
more damage and take less damage with my mates being
1:12:24
in the front line for says being in the back
1:12:26
on which makes no sense until I get into the
1:12:28
battle and watch how it plays out. What?
1:12:31
Is so cool to like. I'm sitting there
1:12:33
like both in the the A preview. the
1:12:35
fight have been like two three minutes like
1:12:37
a how do I rearranged this? how do
1:12:40
I rearrange their move order? which weapons, which
1:12:42
year to I swap out for this specific
1:12:44
fight and select. It's taking a lot longer
1:12:46
now for me to get through these fights
1:12:48
but I'm still finding is a really cool
1:12:51
dynamics and that's one of things I love
1:12:53
about this game. For like it's it's moving
1:12:55
up even higher on my list for demon
1:12:57
the or two cats. Nice nice, Yeah,
1:13:00
every playing on expert tax and way
1:13:02
I'm one of the higher and whatever

1:13:07
of season and Alvey yeah yeah I
1:13:09
can remember. held off the top. I
1:13:11
was flying on tactical and I found
1:13:13
that plenty challenging birds own. Tina has
1:13:15
the best part of the other games.
1:13:18
I started a Persona Three this weekend

1:16:10
being perfectly honest, but. Enough. About
1:16:13
that, let's hit. The.
1:16:15
Coercion lock This one we've had for
1:16:17
a couple weeks and we haven't got around
1:16:19
to it. but I'm glad that we
1:16:21
have both cat and rub your to
1:16:23
have! Ah, Gaming's premier Journalists. To.
1:16:25
Answer this question when interviewing people from
1:16:28
our noom of Nintendo. The George of
1:16:30
your local Papa John's one of George.
1:16:32
What is your process like? How much
1:16:34
to stick to a set of questions
1:16:36
vs flowing from the vibe of. Be
1:16:38
Konver Station cat, how
1:16:40
do you approach? Interviews,
1:16:45
Ah, Aren't Atlanta, Georgia
1:16:47
Papa Jan Johnson for see at
1:16:49
Introduce yourself. Yeah. You the
1:16:51
candles and explain. Swords,
1:16:54
And. Stick a microphone in their
1:16:56
face. I answered questions for you.
1:16:58
Com. And. These people
1:17:00
are really nervous. if yours is approaching them
1:17:02
on the street that they do wanna. Talk
1:17:05
and you can ask them a few
1:17:07
questions or whatever topic he actually have
1:17:09
been. I'm and then if
1:17:12
I'm interviewing as you on the
1:17:14
a of for example that psyche.
1:17:16
Highly. Formalized a set
1:17:18
up. ahead of time kind of
1:17:20
situation where you walk into around. And.
1:17:23
You're surrounded by his entourage and my
1:17:25
the one hundred different people who are
1:17:27
all their. To. Watch you
1:17:29
interview him. And. Or saw
1:17:31
a lot of room. To Vibe
1:17:34
especially not with a translator. so
1:17:36
you end up asking. The.
1:17:38
He probably prepare your questions I had a
1:17:40
time he have to keep your head on
1:17:42
a swivel because if they pass something you
1:17:44
have to be able to almost fact second
1:17:47
in your brain and real time be prepared
1:17:49
to ask a follow up. That
1:17:51
is real trick raised. Not. Letting.
1:17:53
Them off the hook on things being able
1:17:55
to recognize that they say something. That's how
1:17:58
I'd I don't know about that. Mckenna things
1:18:00
are and that's it. Through a given to
1:18:02
take to it that can be really challenging,
1:18:04
especially if you're. Talking to
1:18:07
controversial subjects or or.
1:18:10
Or if there's something going on that you
1:18:12
really need to dig into because often though
1:18:15
the of are super perfunctory statements and then
1:18:17
want you to just move off at and
1:18:19
get on to whatever their line it's There's
1:18:21
a big push and pull. Specially
1:18:24
and previous settings where.
1:18:27
Or they'll be like. I want to
1:18:29
promote this game and I have Pr
1:18:31
Boilerplate for you. And I'm gonna say
1:18:34
that Pr Boilerplate as many times as
1:18:36
I can. And your goal
1:18:38
as a journalist is get them to
1:18:40
be real. Had to get them
1:18:42
off script. And to actually say
1:18:45
things that haven't been scripted ahead of
1:18:47
time. By. Pr. And.
1:18:49
So there's said definite back and
1:18:51
forth. Dynamic. That can
1:18:53
be challenging but also lot of on. Very.
1:18:56
Cool. Rebel. About you is
1:18:58
that a similar approach that you take. Yes,
1:19:01
I think it's at really glad that we got
1:19:03
to talk about this because I think every interview
1:19:05
or has different styles and I don't think that's
1:19:08
necessarily one wrong or right way to go out
1:19:10
there. that is the second gravel the said fall
1:19:12
ethically but like within within the confines of not
1:19:14
really a an ideal way to interview it's also
1:19:16
kind of the and see. It as one
1:19:18
hundred bucks little. He can see that
1:19:20
doesn't change that. You're definitely going into an interview
1:19:22
because there's a clear as an interviewer that there's
1:19:25
at least one question, some as many questions that
1:19:27
like one. Fundamentals: I said the what answer that
1:19:29
you were looking for, the answer to in the
1:19:31
story to tell around and Eight Cats correct that
1:19:33
there's There's a lot of different types of interviews
1:19:36
that there's like a really strict ones where they
1:19:38
had than. Media. Trained.
1:19:40
All. The hell and you you are
1:19:42
basically just trying to get the to
1:19:44
say literally anything other than the Ten
1:19:47
company lie and say memorize as much
1:19:49
as a couple companies out there that
1:19:51
I kind of hate doing interviews with.
1:19:53
Because. No. Matter what you ask
1:19:55
them they will find some way to just say the
1:19:58
say that this is over and over again and. It
1:20:00
makes me want to. From as
1:20:03
I'm a very detailed specific question and
1:20:05
I'll just go. It
1:20:07
is a game it is Yeah says
1:20:09
a will be releasing on that date
1:20:11
as there. Are places like that? and
1:20:13
I have thrown away entire interviews before
1:20:16
because there is literally nothing. I gotta
1:20:18
get that the let's actually answer my
1:20:20
questions even repeating the question going Okay
1:20:22
that that's great but I would like
1:20:24
you the Emperor best. Nothing an. Interview
1:20:27
I think I can go and I usually
1:20:29
go in. For most interviews
1:20:31
again it's kinda varies depending on how strict
1:20:33
they are are going with. like an outline
1:20:36
of questions that I would like he answered.
1:20:38
Any minute. Needed
1:20:41
to script to the secret me through that
1:20:43
a repeat of the sit there meeting of
1:20:45
the the people I remind myself in the
1:20:47
moment not to get could easily a lot
1:20:49
of times As in this industry Pr will
1:20:51
put time when it's on interviews and so
1:20:53
I I sometimes as a make sure that
1:20:55
I'm getting to everything before either that and
1:20:57
so is it for me to constantly refer
1:20:59
to be like okay have I am I
1:21:01
basically gotten everything I need. Let
1:21:05
things go a little bit, but in an
1:21:07
ideal interview, I'm getting the answers to those
1:21:10
questions, while also. I
1:21:13
I ultimately the efforts my classes in an
1:21:15
ideal interview feels like a like a casual
1:21:17
conversation right? It feels like we have cats.
1:21:19
that of the feel like we're fighting it
1:21:21
feels like we're We have made some sort
1:21:23
of connection there. a little bit more relaxed
1:21:25
and they're comfortable to telling me stories. They
1:21:27
are comfortable talking about the south and unable
1:21:29
to listen to the and give. Feedback
1:21:32
on Interview: if I'm sitting there staring
1:21:34
