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

1:59

with real real warm rice. That's

6:55

7:11

every month south of we're not talking about

7:14

sushi, We're not talking about wrestling. I don't

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

40:25

Visible plan for additional turns, Network management,

40:52

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

42:16

password, your bank account details, and who

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

six devices cause I know you have

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

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

1:08:11

Angeles is it is A There's been

1:08:13

a Leopold Bloom who walks around Dublin

1:08:19

drunk. He helped a young lad name's

1:08:25

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

1:08:49

now than I am. A significantly.

mommy from the Coliseum. Soon

1:11:08

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

1:13:04

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
