3:41

3:44

, when we were in boston it was

3:46

my wife and I were in boston for a full week

3:48

and uh

3:51

, so I was there saturday , sunday

3:54

, monday , tuesday , wednesday , thursday , friday , saturday

3:57

, sunday , monday wow , that's a long

3:59

time . Uh , on the 19th

4:01

, what counted ? 11 there ? Well

4:04

, yeah , longer than a week , uh

4:07

, but on tuesday , uh

4:09

, the 19th , was my wife's birthday and

4:12

I went to

4:15

. I booked a restaurant . Uh

4:18

, I booked an italian restaurant

4:20

don't shake your head , phil .

4:22

And you can't see that . You don't gotta tell them . I'm shaking

4:24

my head . You wanna tell them about everything that I do ? Here's my boobs

4:26

and the

4:30

bill .

4:31

You know , my wife was like , wow , can

4:33

we order , can we afford this

4:35

? And I'm like , yeah , we can afford it , it's fine , it's fine

4:37

, and we get

4:39

our bill , or we're waiting for our bill bill , and the waiter comes

4:41

out and says , uh , it's already taken care of . And

4:44

my wife was , both of us were like what

4:47

, what , what , what ? And

4:49

my wife was like , looking around , she's like

4:51

is there somebody in this , in this restaurant , that paid

4:53

for this ? What's going on ? And I said

4:55

, phil , you son of a bitch . And I quickly texted

4:57

you uh , it

5:00

was phil . Phil , thank you so much for paying

5:02

for our meal .

5:02

That was very nice of you you

5:04

know , when you're the president , you can pull some strings

5:07

nationwide and you can make things

5:09

happen for people that you appreciate

5:11

and like and adore

5:13

and uh . So

5:15

, yeah , it was no problem , it was on the company card .

5:17

So you'll see the bill shortly and we're

5:19

going

5:22

to be filing for bank . That's right , that's right

5:24

, that's right , that's right that

5:27

was .

5:27

That was very kind of you and , uh

5:30

, I was very touched by that . So was my wife

5:32

. We were both very like , moved by that

5:34

. So , thank you , that was very nice gesture , appreciate

5:37

it .

5:38

So providing experiences , it's what I do when

5:40

I can .

5:41

Yeah , it was very fun

5:43

. It was a nice night too and it was a very

5:45

good meal . And I felt really bad then because I

5:47

ordered the lobster ravioli and I was

5:49

like dude

5:52

, like I said , be happy

5:54

.

5:54

I just didn't send two to three bottles of wine out to the

5:56

table out of the gates just to confuse the

5:58

hell out of you like

6:00

I that would have really was not worried

6:02

about the price of the meal because , the

6:04

price of the meal . That restaurant was not going

6:06

to bust Gamerhead's bank with

6:09

all the sponsorships , endorsements and we

6:11

can use a couple more patrons to cover the tip on that

6:13

bill .

6:15

But outside of that the rest

6:17

of it was under control . I would say , if you would

6:19

, if we would start off as a few bottles

6:21

of wine , my wife would have been like we can't afford this

6:23

. What is going on ? What's going on ?

6:25

I'm like , I don't know , I don't know , it would have

6:27

tipped the entire thing , which is why I didn't play

6:29

the card that way , because , like , when you show up to a table

6:31

, you sit down , there's two bottles of wine waiting for you , which is like

6:33

uh

6:48

, okay .

6:48

So before we get into packs and everything , uh around packs , mike , you have . You have a

6:50

soapbox item , don't you ? I'll give you the floor

6:52

. I'm gonna step aside . You take the floor

6:54

here thanks , because I'm gonna need this , roger go

6:57

I

7:00

pulled the rug out , as he gave me the floor

7:02

Like a magician .

7:04

That's right , all

7:08

right , microsoft , what are you doing ?

7:09

Everything right , except for what you're about to talk about . What are you

7:11

?

7:11

doing ? What

7:13

are you doing ? What do you think you're doing ? If

7:17

anybody is

7:20

like me and I hope you're

7:22

not you're I

7:25

. Really .

7:26

That's a weird way to begin the conversation . Where's this going

7:28

?

7:28

I got to say I have enjoyed the

7:30

Microsoft Rewards program

7:32

that they've got going on . So

7:34

those of you who might not be aware , microsoft

7:36

Rewards program is basically you

7:39

earn points by doing different daily

7:41

quests by

7:44

and you also like , earn points by

7:46

purchasing things on the digital

7:48

storefront , also

7:51

by using the Xbox app , by playing

7:53

games on your PC a whole

7:55

lot of different ways to earn rewards points

7:57

. And those rewards points can then be cashed

8:00

in for various

8:02

things . You can enter contests , you can

8:04

get discounts on physical items

8:06

, you can get gift cards

8:08

to amazon target and microsoft

8:10

, or you can do and microsoft or

8:13

you could do . What I do is that is just

8:15

, uh , have a monthly

8:17

um automatic withdrawal

8:19

of I think it's like 8,700

8:22

points to get a $10 Xbox

8:24

credit on your

8:26

account . Over

8:28

the past year , microsoft

8:31

has been making some subtle

8:33

changes to the

8:36

rewards , and when I say subtle , I

8:38

mean they've been basically

8:40

allowing you to earn less and less

8:42

points by still doing the exact

8:44

same thing , less

8:46

and less . All still doing the exact same thing , less and less . All right , that's fine , you

8:49

know , I I understand , like , because when I

8:51

was first getting into it , like they were very

8:53

generous , it was very

8:56

generous . You were , you could may earn

8:58

a lot of points if you do a lot of the work , and

9:01

so I was like okay , this is some of this is understandable

9:04

yes , I would just like to say that , based off their

9:06

generosity , I've gotten multiple , multiple games

9:08

for no exaggeration free

9:10

.

9:11

Not free as in game , pass free , but free

9:13

. Free because , like you , can just accumulate those awards

9:15

heavily , especially if you're like me

9:17

and you use bing as your search engine , because that just

9:19

compounds on top of all that .

9:21

Yeah , sorry so

9:25

so , yeah , so , and

9:28

then , like like phil just said , I mean it's , it's

9:30

a great program until recently

9:32

they have now

9:35

. So first thing they did is they used to have a 2000

9:37

a month um

9:40

quest , where you you had to do a whole bunch of

9:42

different stuff throughout one month and you would get 2,000

9:44

points Fantastic . Then

9:47

one day we load it up and you

9:49

get 1,000 by doing the same stuff

9:51

and then , like four months later

9:53

, it was gone completely . Then

9:56

they also had a weekly bonus

9:58

where you can get 100 points a week . Oh

10:01

, they still have that . They still have the 100

10:03

points a week thing , but you're

10:06

learning less and less . Now I pulled

10:08

up my app . You

10:10

get 50 points a day for playing a pc

10:12

game . Now they dropped it to 20

10:14

points . They had the

10:16

the game , and I love playing this game .

10:18

Microsoft jewel oh yeah , that's on

10:20

the app . That's a match three game .

10:22

That's your typical . You would

10:24

earn 30 points a day

10:26

playing this game nothing

10:29

fine , I love it . Now

10:31

it's five points a day , five

10:35

. So

10:37

, needless to say , I'm

10:39

not very happy with microsoft right now and again

10:42

, like I know well , it's free stuff

10:44

. You're getting free stuff , I know , but that

10:47

going from that's that big of a drop from

10:49

30 to 5 and

10:53

you're just getting less and less points . So and

10:55

we all know they're just

10:57

looking to phase it out completely they did

10:59

. It's just going to happen eventually , or

11:01

you're just going to get so little points that

11:03

it's just what's the point what's the point ?

11:05

the point , the points . That's what I cut

11:07

. I cut myself off . What's the points ?

11:10

we should have a segment called what's the points and

11:13

well , that should be phil's segment , where we talk

11:15

so much .

11:16

Well , I think , no , I think it should be about

11:18

where are we at for the different points , and every

11:20

week you give us an update , mike . Well

11:22

, today , you know , jewel is

11:24

now at one point . You get one point

11:26

to play this game . Uh

11:29

, well , uh , are you

11:31

? Do you feel better , though , now that you got that off your chest

11:33

?

11:34

I do , yeah , thanks roger , I appreciate

11:37

you here . You can have the floor back there

11:39

you go .

11:39

Well , just gently slide the rug back

11:42

underneath him . Oh , here's your rug , oh

11:44

man .

11:45

So yeah , so

11:49

I guess let's talk about the main topic . Pax East just

11:51

happened . I

11:54

just got back from PAX East . It was probably

11:56

my favorite PAX I had . It was awesome

11:58

. It was really fun . I

12:00

got to hang out with a lot of different people

12:03

. So

12:06

a special shout out to the Boss rush network for allowing me to be their

12:08

adoptive , uh , member

12:10

of their team . Because I will

12:12

tell you and I know I've asked you

12:14

, both of you and you both are like yeah , I don't , not

12:17

that you don't want to go , but you don't want to go right

12:19

. I mean like , well , mike , you'd want to go . I don't think

12:21

, phil , you don't want to go right , like it's not during baseball season . So I got no point

12:23

to go .

12:23

I don't think , Phil , you don't want to go right , it's not during baseball season , so

12:25

I got no point to go to Boston other than that .

12:27

If I can go to a Red Sox game . We're not talking

12:29

about next year .

12:30

We're talking about current times , Mike . If

12:32

we're talking about next year , we're going to talk about the Kickstarter

12:35

game you funded .

12:36

I have a new rant to go on .

12:45

It's about hostility of . I got attacked for two and a half hours mercilessly yesterday for

12:47

being a Cubs fan . Don't even start with me .

12:51

I didn't say anything , but you made the

12:53

decision hold on .

12:55

I didn't say anything .

12:56

I did not say anything about you being a Cubs fan . I

12:59

just want to make it clear no , you're off

13:01

the hook .

13:02

Mike's throwing rocks at me .

13:04

I'm busted up above my eye . Make it clear no , you're off the hook . This is mike mike's throwing rocks at me .

13:05

Yeah , I got a busted up above my eye

13:07

.

13:08

Um anyway , pax , can I go back

13:10

to pax ?

13:11

uh , so , yeah , so before accident .

13:13

Or jane , yeah , pax east . Uh

13:16

so , uh . So

13:18

first I'll mention , I can tell you a couple funny

13:20

stories that happened at pax before

13:22

we get into , or what happened in

13:24

Boston , I should say before I get into PAX . So

13:27

the first one have either

13:29

of you been to Boston ever , phil

13:31

?

13:31

you have ? Oh , yeah , I have not . Oh

13:34

, you have not . My company's HQ is in .

13:35

Boston oh , you have Mike , but you have not Phil . Oh

13:37

I thought that was the other way around .

13:39

No , I tried to go a couple of years ago but I was going to

13:41

go see a Red Sox game and the Yankees were in town

13:43

and the tickets were like 400 bucks for the game

13:45

, for cheap seats , and then the hotels

13:47

within three miles of the stadium are also like $300

13:50

. And I'm like I don't care about the Red Sox or the Yankees

13:52

, I'll come back another day , yeah , so

13:55

.

13:57

So first of all , I'll just mention I love Boston

14:00

. I think Boston is like one of my favorite cities

14:02

in America . It's it's an amazing

14:04

city . It

14:10

has really awesome culture and history , the people I can . There is something special about Boston

14:12

. I feel like the people of Boston really love their

14:14

city and , uh , and for being a big city , it's

14:16

clean , it's clean , it's

14:18

a clean city . I'm I was always really impressed

14:20

with how clean Boston is , um

14:23

, and it's just a fun city . It's such

14:25

an amazing . It's a walkable city too , like everything's

14:27

walkable . So I I just really

14:30

love .

14:30

I love boston , um

14:32

so my experience that's

14:34

been most of the east coast , though just because it's so

14:36

old that it's all built yeah , that's true , and

14:38

built on top of itself people

14:41

that are from the east coast . Don't realize how small

14:43

the east coast is until you go out there and like you're

14:45

just like , oh , I'm driving from such and such , just such

14:47

and such , and it's like 45 minutes .

14:48

You're just like , oh shit , I'm there already yeah , yeah

14:50

, it's weird , yeah , but it's it's cool , but it's weird

14:52

yeah , um , as

14:55

midwesterners , yeah , where everything is

14:57

very far away um six hours

14:59

. Six hours , yeah , that's

15:01

it . That's it , um , let's

15:04

. So . So my wife and I got

15:06

there Saturday , cause we

15:08

wanted to go to the St Patty day parade

15:10

on Sunday . So what she did , and

15:12

which was cool , it was cool , uh

15:15

, and then , like I mentioned , it was my wife's birthday

15:17

on Tuesday , um , but we did some sightseeing

15:19

as well , and we we never been to the public

15:21

library before . So we went

15:23

to go see the public library , which was an amazing

15:25

library . If you've ever been to the Boston library , it

15:28

is so amazing , such

15:30

a beautiful building . But

15:33

the other reason I wanted to go into

15:35

the public library because they have they

15:37

have public bathrooms , because

15:39

finding a public bathroom in Boston is

15:42

not always the easiest because they're all locked

15:44

right . So , yeah , uh

15:46

. So this is my first funny story

15:48

, so I

15:52

like where this is right .

15:53

You're gonna tell a pooping story on the podcast yeah

15:56

, I went into . Yeah , here's my first funny story . I

15:58

went , so I go to this public bathroom

16:00

uh , so well , yeah .

16:02

So I went into the stall and

16:05

there's two stalls in the stall next to me

16:07

. There's some weird

16:09

noises coming from that stall and

16:11

I wasn't quite sure what's going on . But

16:14

uh , so then you know

16:16

, just sitting there do my duty

16:18

and and

16:21

uh and this other day this other . This other guy

16:23

comes walking in and he's on the phone and

16:25

he is starts laughing

16:28

and the guy in the stall next to me starts

16:30

going and

16:35

the guy on the phone said what

16:38

the fuck ? And uh

16:40

. And then he left and turned off the lights

16:42

in the bathroom to

16:45

mess with the guy that laughed at him in the stall . But

16:47

I'm also in the bathroom in the

16:49

dark with this guy next to me and

16:51

I thought , oh my God , this is my kid's origin story

16:54

. They're going to be like . My dad was killed in

16:56

a bathroom in Boston . I

16:58

took that as a kid's origin story to differ . Oh

17:00

no , I meant like like that's

17:02

how I died , right , gotcha yeah

17:08

. Different . Oh no , I meant like like that's how I died , right , gotcha , yeah

17:10

. Uh , I got out of there as fast as I . I had . I either

17:13

thought to myself , do I get out of here as fast as

17:15

I can , um , or do I wait for him to leave ? And I

17:17

thought I'm not waiting for this guy to leave , I'm out of here

17:19

, I'm getting out here , uh . So that

17:21

was weird . That was a , a weird situation

17:24

. That was so weird . The

17:26

other one , that was kind of funny . It

17:30

is funny , but also kind of it was just weird

17:32

. So one of the days , on

17:34

Saturday , it was just downpour

17:37

, rain , just just Awful

17:40

, awful rain . And I'm in , I

17:42

foolishly , because

17:45

I thought to myself , oh , I can take a , I take a , I

17:47

can take an uber back to my hotel . And

17:49

then I thought , and I looked it up , and it was like 30 and I

17:51

was like f that I can walk

17:53

, I don't need an uber . I'm from wisconsin

17:56

, we're , we're tougher than

17:58

that . So I walked and that was stupid . I should have just got

18:00

the uber , um , but anyway , as I'm walking

18:02

, I can't see anything

18:04

because , you know , there's rain splashing against my glasses

18:06

, because it's really heavy rain , and I

18:08

hear this woman start yelling

18:11

help me somebody , oh my

18:13

god , please , somebody , help me

18:15

, help me , please , help me

18:17

screaming it at the top

18:19

of her lungs . Of course I'm all

18:21

like , oh shit , things are gonna

18:23

go down here , right , and you strapped

18:25

on your black belt yeah , yeah , yeah

18:28

, I was yeah I was

18:30

ready to kick some ass . Turns out

18:32

she was just yelling

18:34

that because she was with her friends and she wasn't wearing

18:36

a jacket yeah

18:39

, that's .

18:40

Uh , that's far too familiar to me for the neighborhood

18:42

that I live at work in . Sorry , not that in

18:44

that's .

18:46

PTSD and I gave

18:49

them a dirty look and

18:51

they knew that I was not happy because , I

18:53

thought again , I thought this woman was being attacked

18:56

.

18:57

You know something awful right .

18:58

Yeah , exactly .

19:00

And took off the black belt , put away the numchucks

19:02

and were like bitch , go find a coat . I'm

19:04

sorry , I did not mean to say the B word there .

19:08

So that was , that

19:10

was I don't know funny , I guess , but

19:12

also kind of like are you kidding me , come on . So

19:15

those are my two like funny stories of Boston

19:17

. But PAX itself was

19:20

amazing , was

19:28

amazing . So , uh , when you go there , it is amazing how quickly they set up and how quickly

19:31

they tear down that place . I cannot , I cannot . So , wednesday they're

19:33

setting up , it's crazy , um

19:35

, and the thing starts on Thursday . Um

19:38

, but , uh

19:40

, yeah , it was , it was such an amazing time . I , like

19:43

I said , got to meet some you know fabulous people . It was really , it was

19:45

. It was such an amazing time . I , I like I said , got to meet some you know fabulous people . It was really . It

19:47

was just really fun . I just got to hang out with

19:49

people and I got to see baron baron

19:51

. Baron jay from level one

19:53

gaming , got to hang out like that guy , he's a funny man

19:55

, he is a funny guy . So I got

19:57

to hang out with him too . Um , you can

19:59

call him afraid of the show . I would too

20:02

. I would too . He wants to come back on the show . So

20:04

, um , yeah , it

20:06

was really fun . It was really a really good time

20:09

. Uh , I'm gonna

20:11

run through the games that I played

20:13

. Do you guys have any quick questions , though , for me of like anything

20:16

like that has ? I don't know ? Do you

20:18

have any questions about like PAX

20:20

related questions ? How crowded was it there

20:22

? So Thursday was not bad

20:25

. Sunday was really not bad

20:27

at all . Friday

20:29

and Saturday . Saturday was the busiest

20:31

, so that was pretty crowded . Friday

20:34

was pretty crowded too , but

20:36

it wasn't as bad as I thought it was

20:38

going to be . There

20:41

were a couple times . So

20:44

the one thing with Pax is

20:46

, obviously it's open to the public

20:48

and

20:51

I have appointments . I have appointments that I have to

20:53

play these games . So what the PA

20:55

and PAX stands for is public . Yeah , that's

20:57

what it stands for .

20:58

I honestly have no idea . Oh no , it stands for Penny Arcade

21:00

. No , penny , yeah , yeah . What's

21:02

the X then Expo ?

21:09

Yeah , our petty arcade , no penny , yeah , yeah , what's the extent of experience ? Uh , expo , yeah , yeah , uh , so

21:11

, uh , so , anyway . So I have all these appointments that I need to set up

21:13

or not need . But I have set up and , uh , and

21:17

I have to go to each , you know . I mean like I only

21:19

got like 20 or 30 minutes and then I have to go to the next

21:21

appointment . Well , mike

21:24

, you sit back this is the back , mike and relax . This

21:26

is the uh story

21:28

time for us um , so

21:31

I , uh

21:33

, I walk

21:37

up to these places and and I'm like , hey

21:39

, I'm here for an appointment , and they kick

21:41

people off the game to allow

21:43

me to play the game , and I feel awful when that happens

21:45

, and you earned

21:47

it why yeah ?

21:49

I know I know you got stuff to

21:52

do . They're just there to those

21:54

people are just general public .

21:56

General public does not matter . I'm talking to all

21:58

of you . General public , yeah , but they stay .

22:00

Whoa , whoa , they stand in line , though , for a long

22:02

time , and that's what makes me feel bad , because they stand in

22:04

line .

22:05

It's like going to an amusement park , and if you buy the FastPass

22:07

and you get in first and you look back at the general public and go

22:09

schmucks , why didn't ?

22:10

you buy ?

22:10

FastPass .

22:11

It was 60 bucks , drop the line . Yeah

22:13

, I mean I still felt bad Schmucks

22:16

, I still felt bad was

22:20

a lot of really cool games there , I guess did

22:22

. Did I leave the floor open ? Do you guys have general ? You

22:25

asked about the how busy it was . Was there other general

22:27

questions ?

22:28

yeah , have you gotten the smell out of your head yet um

22:32

, no , it wasn't that bad .

22:34

Actually that bad it was . I will say that

22:36

, uh , I made sure I was one of

22:38

the best smelling people there because I

22:40

brought was there a contest

22:43

? I bought , I bought , I well , I had duke's

22:45

, duke cannon's uh , they're

22:48

gonna say duke's mayonnaise , yeah , duke's mayonnaise

22:50

. I put duke's mayonnaise all over my body and

22:53

people are like you smell delicious

22:55

people to lick you and they're like that's got

22:57

twang . Yeah , that's like that's a twang . No

22:59

, duke cannon's uh bay rum , which

23:01

smells fantastic . You never smelled that uh

23:04

guy that started started .

23:05

That company actually comes to the restaurant all the time , really

23:07

.

23:09

If you see him , tell him that I love Bay Rum

23:11

, the product . I'll see what I can do .

23:14

I mean , tell him that , but I'll see what I can do

23:17

about other things . Oh yeah , sure , That'd be great .

23:19

So anyway . It

23:22

was funny , though , because I was saying goodbye to some of

23:24

my friends on Sunday , and

23:26

one of them said how the

23:29

hell do you smell so good after four days

23:31

23:33

well , it's Duke Cannon's Bayroom

23:35

, that's what it is .

23:38

Does you hold it up ? Yeah , Vano

23:40

like that shit in front of the camera

23:43

.

23:43

So that was fun . I did , I

23:50

did . My son wanted some , uh , pokemon stuff , so I did stand in line for pokemon

23:52

stuff for him . Uh , which I will say , I don't know anything

23:54

. I mean , I know a little bit of pokemon

23:56

, but I don't know a lot about pokemon . Uh

23:59

, I , what I'll tell you , what I really don't know a lot

24:01

of at all is esports

24:03

. That it's like I told you guys a funny story about

24:05

esports , right , uh ? So I was eating

24:07

in the cafeteria and some teenage

24:10

boys were standing there and

24:12

this guy comes walking up and these kids are

24:14

like oh my god , oh my god , oh my

24:23

was like yeah , sure , yeah , it was you . It was you

24:25

and they got their picture taken and

24:27

everything . And then they were like , oh , I

24:29

love doing that match of blah blah , blah . Oh

24:31

my god , I can't you know . And I was just like

24:33

I don't know who this person is

24:35

. Should I know who this person is

24:37

? Does that make me a bad journalist ? That I don't

24:39

know who ?

24:40

this person is . So

24:42

it's like situation that one girl at the

24:44

at the airport , oh yeah with the

24:46

tiktok influence

24:47

or whatever , yeah yeah yeah yeah , well

24:49

24:51

24:55

funny . Um , but

24:58

25:01

Another question uh , were there a lot

25:17

, as I don't know , some of these people . Right

25:19

25:21

like oh , wow , that character . I would say there's a lot of really cool Final

25:23

Fantasy characters that were dressed up Like that

25:25

looked cool , like I recognize those

25:28

characters but I didn't . It's

25:30

hard . There's a lot of people dressed up as

25:32

Ghostbusters . That was cool Because

25:35

it's a new movie , you know .

25:37

I'm actually quite disappointed that I didn't get a full-on

25:39

swag report . So

25:42

I'm going to need to report on the swag you obtained

25:44

report .

25:45

So I'm gonna .

25:45

Oh , yeah , yeah , I'm gonna need a report on the swag you obtained , so should I do that right now ? Well , you don't have to say everything

25:47

25:48

Okay , I'll give you something so like uh

25:50

, well , I got this really

25:53

cool mat , this awesome like

25:55

, like it's a like , a like

25:57

when you play cards like some like like

26:00

trading cards and stuff like that , like they'll put

26:02

out like this , like mat that play

26:04

the cards on . So that

26:06

was from a company that came to play

26:09

their game . Let me just pull

26:11

this up here . That game was . What

26:15

was that game , though

26:17

? And I was really I was really worried it was going to get ruined in the rain . Actually

26:19

, because I had it with me . In the rain , I

26:22

thought you acquired a new friend named Matt . No , in the rain , I

26:25

thought you acquired a new friend named Matt no . In

26:27

the rain . Yeah , that

26:30

was from Waka

26:33

Studios and the game is called Runout

26:35

, so they gave me a really cool

26:37

Matt . That was nice . I

26:40

got a bunch of pins , lots

26:42

of pins . Pins are like a thing in PAX

26:44

People love pins . Pins are like a thing in

26:46

packs , like people love pins , and I never really collected pins before

26:48

, except for this episode this

26:51

time there , and then I put them

26:53

on my lanyard for my badge

26:55

, so that was cool . I

26:57

got a couple of lanyards . I

27:03

got some food . They

27:11

brought some chocolates and some caramels , um , so I had that , um , but , like in regards to like

27:14

t-shirts and bags like west , I got actually a lot more swag that in that regard than

27:16

I got here . Um , but

27:19

gotcha , um , and

27:21

then and then and then , uh

27:24

, their community manager Trina

27:26

wanted to have Final

27:28

Fantasy 16 stuff

27:30

and , no

27:32

wait , 14 , whatever the online

27:35

one is , and so they

27:37

had a big 14 thing

27:39

there . So I got the

27:42

big thing that was given away this year . For clothing

27:44

wise , were these like fishing hats , you know

27:46

, like those like a bucket hat , like a ?

27:48

bucket hat .

27:49

Those things are awesome so they have

27:51

final fantasy , final fantasy bucket hat

27:53

, so I got her that and a lot and

27:55

two lanyards uh , those are the things that

27:57

are given away for free there , um

27:59

yeah so that was my swag

28:01

. So then

28:03

what ?

28:04

did you play in packs that uh kind

28:06

of rocked your role in your mind

28:09

, you want me to .

28:10

You want me to run down all the games or highlight

28:12

some of the top ones .

28:13

I don't know , dude , I only took the show over for one

28:15

week . It's up to you again now .

28:17

Okay , okay , okay , so uh the

28:20

first game , the first game I played , and when I

28:22

played it I was like there's it's going to be really hard

28:24

for another game to top

28:27

this as one of my top games

28:29

at PAX . Now , I had three awards

28:31

that I gave out , and I'll go through those as well

28:33

, but this is one of the games that won the awards three

28:35

. So

28:37

I gave out best of PAX East

28:40

from the Gamers Podcast and this

28:42

game . That one is called Tape to Tape

28:44

. It

28:46

is a hockey roguelike game , but light on the roguelike mike

28:49

. So so roguelike light

28:51

, yeah , roguelike light , uh

28:53

, and all hand drawn . The artwork

28:56

is so good and

28:58

every character in the audience

29:00

is all hand drawn too , which is

29:02

fantastic , uh , and the nice

29:04

little touch they did with this was that they

29:07

put the PAX East logo on

29:09

the ice rink which . I thought

29:11

was pretty dope and I said , whoa , that's

29:13

a really nice touch . And they're like , yeah , we added that last night . This

29:16

is Thursday and I was like you added that last

29:18

night and they're like , yeah , we thought , oh , we should probably

29:20

add something like that . It looks so cool , that

29:23

game plays so

29:25

so smooth and you can

29:27

play more than one player and you can play

29:29

, I think , four players on each team , so

29:32

you can play up to eight players . Oh

29:34

my gosh , Three

29:37

versus three with a goalie . Yeah

29:40

, maybe you can't play as a goalie , then I'm not sure , maybe

29:42

it is only three versus three that you can play . I

29:44

don't know , maybe you can't play as a goalie .

29:46

Yes , mike , maybe the gameplay

29:48

style like classic night

29:50

. Nhl 94 is there more like nhl

29:53

hits no , like 94

29:57

, it's 94 hits .

29:59

Yeah , it's not . It's not like , it's not

30:01

like a sim , right , it's not like a simulator

30:04

type game , it's more arcadey . Um

30:06

, and then it's fun because your

30:09

characters that you , you get one main character

30:12

and then they have a special ability , um

30:14

, so , like the main character I was playing , he had this

30:17

ability called bullseye , so he'd hit the puck

30:19

really hard and they said that

30:21

, uh , if you hit it at a certain

30:23

character , they would also do a header

30:25

into the goal . So it's like almost like soccer

30:28

, like it was , um , but if

30:30

you did it to your opponents , it would just knock

30:32

them out . It would just plow through them and knock them out

30:34

. Okay , um , so that was really cool . Um

30:36

, obviously , you have your shoulder blocks and your passes and

30:39

your shots , but that was really cool . Um

30:41

, in and yeah

30:43

, and , and it looked like I didn't get

30:45

to play on a lot of different rinks , but it looked like

30:47

they had a lot of different , unique looking ranks

30:50

, uh , rinks . Uh

30:52

, there was one rink also too . That it

30:54

was . You played against a soccer team , so you're

30:56

actually playing in on a soccer field , uh

30:59

, playing hockey , which looked really funny . Um

31:01

, but , yeah , this game

31:03

is so like I was so impressed with this

31:05

game , like it just played really well and

31:08

it and it . It showed

31:10

really well at PAX too , like you could tell

31:13

, like people were just lining up to play that game .

31:14

Yes , mike did they say what's

31:16

? Is it PC only , or is it coming to consoles

31:19

?

31:20

um , I think that they

31:22

I don't remember if they said that they want to

31:24

bring . I don't think they have any plans right now for console play

31:26

. Um , yeah

31:28

, but uh , but for sure

31:30

, right now it's an early access on steam

31:33

right now .

31:34

Um but I would like to see the

31:36

top of your head ? Who developer slash ?

31:38

publisher is uh , the publisher is null games

31:40

and the

31:42

developer is something

31:47

rectangle . I can't think of the perfect

31:51

rectangle or something like that . I'm not sure . I can't

31:53

remember what the first , the first word

31:55

is , but null games is the publisher , that

31:57

for sure . I know um really

32:01

good game like . I

32:03

cannot wait to get my hands on that game . That

32:05

game is fantastic . Um

32:07

, so that was the first game that I played

32:09

at pax , which was really cool . Uh

32:12

, and a couple other games I'll

32:14

highlight , um from day one . This is all day

32:16

one . Uh , be my horde . Uh , oh

32:19

, you guys will like be my horde . So that is uh

32:21

, a , uh , vampire survivors

32:23

type game . Be my

32:26

horde yes , h-o-r-d-e

32:28

.

32:28

Yes , correct , we get it . Now we understand

32:30

it now be my horde .

32:32

Uh , so you play as

32:34

a like a

32:36

necromancer

32:38

and you

32:40

go around and you have to attack

32:43

you . I think you have a couple characters at first and

32:45

then you go and attack other characters and when they

32:47

get killed you raise them from the dead and

32:50

now they're part of your horde and

32:52

you're trying to get a big group around you

32:54

. Obviously , the more

32:56

you get into the game , the more uh

32:59

bigger you get yeah

33:01

, the , yeah , the , the more

33:03

, the more enemies you're gonna run into . So , like you'll run into

33:05

knights , you'll run into , um

33:07

, like bigger knights , uh , some

33:09

those dwarves with axes , and

33:12

if you , if you can kill those , like , then you're gonna be

33:14

set right because , like , hey , uh , because

33:16

they're gonna help you more , um , I

33:19

made it pretty far . So like , like , I think , uh

33:22

, the record so they didn't have any bosses

33:24

at this in this demo that they were playing it was just like

33:27

, how long can you last ? That was basically

33:29

what it was , and I think

33:31

the record is like I think

33:33

they said one of the people on

33:35

their team , uh , has a record of like

33:37

14 minutes in some odd seconds

33:39

. I lasted for 13 minutes in some

33:41

odd seconds . So I , I got pretty close

33:44

to to the record , um

33:46

, but yeah , that that was a , really that was a I

33:48

. When I played that game , I was like , oh , mike

33:50

and phil are gonna love this game , because this game is really fun

33:52

um , is this

33:54

where I see obvious question again about pc and console

33:57

? uh

33:59

, again , pc right now . I don't

34:01

remember if they're gonna . I know I don't know if they're going to . I know I don't know

34:03

if they're going to have a console plan or

34:05

not . Um , but

34:08

PC right now . Um

34:10

, another game that I got to play

34:12

that won one of our awards , uh

34:15

was , uh , let's revolution

34:18

. It is from buck studio . Uh

34:20

, you may know , buck studio , from

34:23

spider-man into the spider-verse they're

34:26

, they did the animation for that game , or that

34:28

, that movie , the movies I should say oh cool yeah

34:31

, uh , so this game

34:33

is out now on

34:36

or not , I'm not yet . Uh , it

34:38

is out on PC

34:40

and then console releases are coming

34:42

in April . Um

34:44

and uh

34:46

, this game

34:49

is really , really fun I get . I just got

34:51

to play the demo . Um , so basically

34:53

think of Minesweeper , but fun

34:56

and good . Uh , cause

34:58

I hate Minesweeper . I even told them

35:00

that .

35:00

No , I hate Minesweeper . I hate Minesweeper .

35:02

I told because I hate minesweeper . I even told them that , no , I hate minesweeper , I hate minesweeper

35:04

. I told them that I'm like I said to them . I said I I'm sorry , I don't like minesweeper

35:06

, but I love this game . But actually what I

35:08

said is I don't like minecraft . And they said I think

35:10

you mean minesweeper . And I paused for a minute

35:13

and I said what did I say ? They said you might minecraft

35:15

. I'm like oh yeah , mine sweeper .

35:17

So like that either no , like that either

35:19

.

35:19

Yeah , so there's a king

35:21

and you're in . The whole point is that you're revolting

35:24

against the king , you need to defeat the king , and

35:26

so there it's a . It's

35:29

a grid with different blocks and

35:31

there's different characters you can unlock . But you start with uh

35:34

, with an , with a warrior at least

35:36

that's what I played , uh in the demo

35:38

and they can move like one

35:40

square , either up down , left , right

35:42

, and then they have special

35:44

abilities and if you hit , if you move

35:47

into a square that an enemy is on because

35:49

enemies can only be on uh roads

35:52

uh , if you run into the one of the

35:54

, they're on the uh . If you run into enemy , that's

35:56

on a road that you lose a heart , and you obviously

35:58

only have so many hearts , um , but the way

36:00

you can avoid that is by doing attacks

36:02

, and so you might land

36:04

on a square that says that there are six road pieces

36:06

around you and then you're like , well

36:08

, I'm probably gonna want to do attack , like you can do a roundhouse

36:11

kick . It does , takes all the spaces

36:13

around you and if there's an enemy on one of those

36:15

roads , it takes out that enemy , um , and

36:17

then you can find shops or you can find

36:20

other things that can make

36:24

your character more powerful or learn

36:26

new techniques and things like that . I

36:29

did ask them . I said you know , obviously

36:31

the animation is fantastic and the gameplay is

36:33

very good too . I asked them how

36:35

long was this game in development ? For how long

36:38

do you think a game like that was in development for Mike

36:40

? I'll give you .

36:42

I'm going gonna go six years just

36:44

because that's where I'm at right now with my

36:46

that's where my tolerance caps

36:48

off okay phil

36:51

, I was gonna say

36:53

six months , just because I was prepared

36:55

to have my socks knocked off .

36:57

Yeah , 18 months , damn

36:59

it . Yeah , all right . Yeah , uh

37:01

, that is super fast . And they said that

37:03

one of the things that was really impressive for them

37:05

was , uh , they would give

37:08

, uh , they would , you know , say

37:10

, hey , animation folks , we need x

37:12

, y and z . And they said , normally we

37:14

would expect it done in like a month

37:16

or two . There's like a couple days and like , here

37:18

you go and they're like holy crap

37:20

because , because they're just so used to pumping

37:22

out animation as part of the studio , such

37:25

a great game , um , it's out on pc

37:27

right now . It's coming out on console in april

37:29

. Um , like I said , I got to play the demo

37:31

at pax and it was really fun , it was really good , so

37:34

that was cool . Um

37:36

, let me look at some other of the highlights

37:38

from day one . Uh , astral

37:41

duel 2 . This game is out right now

37:43

. It just released actually when it's also

37:45

on xbox

37:48

maybe .

37:48

Uh , pc is that

37:50

the space like shooter . That's pretty , and

37:53

I mean this with no malice

37:55

um geometry

37:57

wars looking um

38:01

, I don't know if it's geometry wars , I would .

38:03

I wouldn't say that it's more like smash

38:06

brothers , but oh yeah , not at

38:08

all the game I was thinking of . Okay , uh

38:10

, so the . So you

38:12

battle against other people . I think you can play up

38:14

to eight people , I'm not 100 , sure

38:16

? Um , so you battle against other people and

38:20

, uh , it's

38:22

, it's based on how many kills you get

38:24

, and then you'll move , like your

38:26

ship moves so many spaces , and then

38:28

, once that moves all the way across to the finish line , you

38:30

win , right . So I don't know , I think there's like eight spaces

38:33

and you battle against other people

38:35

and , what's cool , the first battle you fight

38:37

, there's different places you can go to , so , like you really mix

38:39

and match whatever you want , but the one , the first one we

38:41

played at , was just space battles

38:43

. So you're in spaceships and you can pick what spaceship you want

38:45

and each one has their own special abilities , and

38:47

then you shoot against each other and fight against each other

38:49

. If your ship gets destroyed , your

38:52

little character is just floating out in space

38:54

and if you can last long enough , your ship

38:56

will regenerate and you can get , you can back into

38:58

your ship . Um , but that's

39:00

really hard to do uh .

39:02

And then there's also the game that I'm thinking of but

39:05

then there's also like stylistically , loves like

39:07

john jr , we're sorry to cut you off at the no .

39:09

No , it's okay uh , it's like , it's looks like

39:11

, it looks very retro , like , yeah

39:14

, okay , um . And then

39:16

there's also levels where you

39:18

are playing as your little character

39:21

and you're on like a , uh , like a

39:23

, like a base type

39:25

thing and you can find different weapons for that character and you

39:27

could fight in that . But then you can jump out of those bases

39:29

into your spaceship , fly around and shoot . It's

39:32

so fun . So you play solo . You can play as

39:34

teams uh , we

39:36

, we . When we played as teams , my

39:38

team won . No , no , thanks to me . I

39:40

kind of just you know , didn't really do

39:42

much , but uh , oh , my

39:44

gosh , that game . That game was really fun and that

39:46

had a lot of people going to it because , again

39:48

, it played really well in front of a bunch of people , because

39:50

you can play it as a big group , it was very cool

39:52

. Um , so that

39:54

was a cool game . Uh , let's see

39:57

. Um , uh

39:59

, balladins is a very cool rpg

40:02

, uh story type game

40:04

. Um , where it has loop

40:06

mechanics , so you have different quests

40:08

, you have to go on and um

40:11

, you , the artwork is very paper

40:13

mario it looks very much like paper mario and

40:17

uh , and you have to do this different quest

40:19

and , uh

40:21

, you only have so many days and if you don't complete the quest

40:23

in so many days which is pretty hard to

40:25

do , and the

40:27

demo only allows you to go through one day or

40:31

I shouldn't say one day one loop , but at the end of

40:33

the loop , a dragon comes and is like , what

40:36

are you doing ? Blah , blah , blah . Like

40:39

you woke me up and now I'm going to send you back

40:41

in time and you said back in time , and

40:43

then you have to do everything all over , but now you have knowledge

40:45

of , like , what happened the first loop , um

40:47

, but you know , I didn't get to play a second . I'm setting it to really

40:49

see how that played out , but it was really

40:52

cool . It was a cool concept . I liked that game

40:54

. Uh , so that was balladins

40:56

. That one is coming to

40:58

pc , maybe consoles

41:00

as well . I they said that I'm not sure I

41:03

went to . This is cool . I went to see Dungeon

41:05

Dragons online . Dungeon

41:07

Dragons online panel Made

41:10

me want to go play Dungeon Dragons right after . There

41:12

was more about they talked about how they create monsters

41:15

and what was fun about that that well

41:17

, how they create monsters for the online game , right

41:19

. And

41:25

so then I actually got as a member of press . I actually got to ask them

41:27

a bunch of questions afterwards , and one of the questions I asked was

41:30

you know , you talked a lot about how the books

41:32

influence the game . Has

41:34

there been where the game influenced the books ? And they said

41:36

actually there has . There was an area that has

41:39

mentioned their books but has never

41:41

meant . But it was never really there's , never fleshed

41:43

out . So they actually had to do a lot of fleshing

41:45

out for the game because they wanted to make this area for people

41:47

to explore , and um

41:49

and uh

41:52

, they said that . Then , after that happened . The

41:54

books were like , well , we want to , uh

41:57

, now flesh that out a little bit more now too

41:59

, because we're gonna take your material you made . So it was really cool

42:02

. Yeah , the

42:04

other cool thing that I asked about was , uh

42:06

, because this game's been around for like

42:08

20 years this , the dnd

42:10

online um and

42:14

they talked about , um

42:16

, how they just just

42:18

created this new dragon and how , like the

42:21

dragon mechanics now , like they've really got down

42:23

to this really cool science where a dragon

42:25

might be smashing your , at your , your friends

42:27

, and then turns its head and looks at your character

42:30

, right . And I asked the question

42:32

about , like is it difficult because

42:34

, like , once you come up with a new mechanic and you start

42:36

coming up with new stuff , right

42:38

, like your old stuff

42:41

now is going to feel old ? Like , do you have to go back and

42:43

update that ? And they said , sometimes we do , but

42:45

sometimes we just leave it alone . Like they have this

42:47

one really big giant dragon that they created

42:50

early in the game . But they said we spent so much time on

42:52

that thing that if we were to mess with it it would like

42:54

break , and we

42:57

can't do that , obviously . But they said , but it

42:59

still looks really good because we spent so much time

43:01

on it in the beginning of the game

43:03

that it doesn't look or feel old because

43:06

they spent some more time . But now , because they

43:08

have new technology , they can actually spend

43:10

a lot of more time on um

43:13

, uh

43:15

, on or not less time , I should say because

43:17

now they've , like , built mechanics around it . It's

43:19

like we can use the dragon mechanic to build new

43:21

monsters and things like that . So that's cool . Um

43:25

, that was day one

43:27

. Wow , that's a lot of day one , uh , day

43:29

two , um , uh

43:32

, I got to play another game that won

43:35

our award , so I think there's all three of them there at this point

43:37

. Uh , this one is called world with grim

43:39

. Uh , if you've ever played marvel

43:41

snap , it is marvel

43:43

snap . Mike , have you played marvel snap ?

43:46

no , I have

43:48

another rant about marvel after today's

43:51

news , if you want fucking

43:53

marvel watch .

43:55

Um , well , I'll talk about world

43:57

of grim . So moral the grim is a card

43:59

deck builder type game , um

44:01

, and it's not

44:03

as grindy as Marvel Snap . I played a lot of

44:05

Marvel Snap and what the premise is that you

44:08

have your cards and there's three

44:10

lands that open up and

44:13

you have to . You play against one opponent and you're

44:15

trying to get as many points on each land

44:17

. If you can control two or three lands

44:19

after six turns , you win . So

44:23

I

44:25

loved that game a lot . I actually

44:27

went back and played like after after

44:29

I , that was day two , on

44:32

day four I went back . I'm like , I'm just , I have some

44:34

time , can I just hang out and play this game ? And

44:36

they're like , yeah , absolutely

44:38

. So that game is really

44:40

fun and the artwork is

44:42

really cool . It's all it's

44:44

free to play . So you can play on steam right

44:47

now . Uh , this is not

44:49

coming to consoles , but they did talk about that . They

44:51

have plans to come to uh mobile

44:53

as well . But the cool , cool thing

44:55

about this game is that they also want

44:58

they also are making a or I shouldn't

45:00

say they are making they want to make

45:02

a physical copy of this game so you

45:04

can actually play this , uh with your friends

45:06

physically as well . It was really really cool

45:08

. So that was . That was really fun . And

45:10

, uh , the people that made the game are really cool too . So

45:12

that is uh , from static city games

45:15

and the game is called world

45:17

of grim , uh

45:19

. And then , um

45:21

, let's see , uh

45:24

, I went to the warframe panel . That's where I

45:26

saw ben star . Um , I

45:28

went to atari's booth and

45:30

hung out with them for a while and got to play some . They

45:33

gave me oh , that was another they gave me a little pong

45:35

pin because it was my pong shirt

45:37

and they thought that was pretty cool . So they're

45:39

like like here , have a pump in . I

45:41

got to play Neo Sprint there and

45:44

that is a racing game , it's a sprint

45:46

. It was an old Atari game and

45:48

then it came out with Neo Sprint . It plays a lot like , if

45:50

you ever played . Well , you guys have RC Pro-Am

45:53

or Super Off-Road .

45:55

I love RC Pro-Am .

45:57

You guys are going to love this game

45:59

because it's both of this game is just , it's

46:01

like . It's like that game . I think they said you can

46:03

play up to six people at

46:06

one time . It's fun because you can , you

46:08

know , pick different cars and then

46:10

you can get different . You unlock different

46:12

skins for the cars , which are different games

46:15

, atari games . It looks in place

46:17

really well . At

46:22

least the demo I played . I shouldn't say it's like it's not out yet , um , but uh , that

46:25

one was really good . Um

46:27

, that was day two . Uh

46:30

, and then day

46:33

three , um

46:35

, let's see , um

46:38

, I played

46:40

. Um , the

46:43

uh . Well , I played . I played this

46:46

game . That was , uh

46:49

, it is called death

46:51

bound . Um , it is a

46:53

. When they described it

46:55

to me , they said it's a souls like . I'm like . Okay , I'm not

46:57

gonna probably like this game because I don't like souls like games

46:59

, but they're like . Well , it's a souls like , but not

47:01

a souls like and it is not

47:03

like . I would not call this a souls like

47:06

like . I can understand why there's

47:08

some elements of souls like to it , but what

47:10

it is is you are your characters really

47:12

are . You get four different

47:14

characters that you can select

47:16

and if one character is getting hurt . You can swap them

47:18

out like instantly for a different character . Um

47:21

, and each character plays a little bit differently

47:23

. There's like a magician , there

47:26

is a uh . There's

47:28

like a special martial , like a brazilian martial

47:30

artist , capoeira martial artist

47:32

. Um . There's like a traditional

47:34

knight and then there's like this kind of

47:36

like a thief type character

47:39

nice thief slash knight

47:41

type character at least a little four

47:43

that I played with . I think maybe there's more they can play with

47:45

um , but that was really cool . The

47:47

. The scenery was just amazing , like the

47:50

, the level design and everything was really

47:52

cool . Um , and the gameplay played really well

47:54

. Um , and I enjoyed

47:56

it and I think I did pretty well because

47:58

I beat like two major big creatures

48:01

, like there's big things . I

48:03

beat both of them nice so

48:05

it makes me feel like it plays

48:07

. I don't like souls like I , just , I

48:09

just don't I don't like souls like oh souls

48:11

like games either yeah , but that's what

48:13

I liked . So I was like , don't call it a soul slayer

48:16

, because this is

48:18

that kind of turned me off until I played . I'm like

48:20

, no , actually I like this game . So , uh

48:22

, that was called Deathbound . There's

48:25

a couple other games too on that day , but

48:28

for the sake of time I'm going to skip

48:31

into day four . And

48:35

day four oh

48:38

, I got to meet with Midwest Games . They're out

48:40

of Green Bay , which is very , very cool . Oh , I got

48:43

to meet with midwest games . They're out of green bay , which is very

48:45

, very cool . Uh , major nelson is actually one of their

48:48

um , uh consultants . Uh , for

48:50

for it . So that was very cool . And

48:53

the game I played there was called rah rah boom . It

48:56

is a side scroller . Beat them

48:58

up . Uh , the animation is fantastic

49:00

. It uh plays

49:02

a lot like turtles or any any side

49:04

kind of side scrolling games . But , um , really

49:07

really cool uh

49:09

game . That was a cool game . That

49:12

was called rara boom and

49:14

uh . And

49:16

then my last game I'll mention here is

49:18

oh gosh , I love this so much . Uh

49:21

, the creators of uh

49:24

, magic the gathering , or

49:26

one of the creators , magic the gathering , and

49:29

uh , another gentleman came out , this game

49:31

called soul forge and I was gonna look I don't

49:33

have the box with me , um , but it's a

49:35

, it's a deck builder , so

49:38

you can buy physical cards , uh

49:40

, and . But what's cool about this game is

49:42

that then you can scan your physical cards so you can

49:44

play them online as well , because there's gonna be an online

49:47

element and a physical card . That's pretty

49:49

cool , isn't that cool ? Yeah , and

49:51

then what's gonna happen is

49:53

you can . So I bought , I bought

49:55

a box , I wanted to , oh

49:57

, they're , oh , they

50:00

gave me such a great deal , and I'm like , oh , I can't

50:02

, I can't buy . They gave me a good deal on the , on

50:04

the starter , and like we'll tell you what you throw

50:06

in a bunch of , uh , other

50:08

packs , booster packs as well , and

50:11

this is like retails , like 200 , I'll get

50:13

it to you for 80 , and I'm like , I

50:16

don't think I would love to , I really

50:18

would , but I , I , I just

50:20

have to buy the base game right now . Um

50:22

, I was kicking myself . I should have bought it . I should have bought it . I was

50:24

so mad at myself for not sure .

50:25

If you reached out to them , they'll probably cut the same offer

50:28

yeah , but

50:30

uh , so that was really cool and I was excited

50:32

.

50:32

I'm excited to play that with oliver um

50:34

because it's super easy to pick up and play um

50:37

and , unlike

50:39

magic , the gathering like magic's okay

50:41

, but this game was like super fast . But what's

50:43

cool about this is , like I said , you can scan the cards

50:45

. They go into your on your deck , on your

50:47

uh , on your game on the computer , and

50:50

then what they're planning to do is have campaigns

50:52

online that you can play in and

50:55

then also faction battles , like there'll

50:57

be different battles and different things that are happening and

50:59

based on , like , the outcomes of that

51:02

, like we'll drive , what kind of cards might come

51:04

out next or what might happen , like oh

51:06

my gosh . I was just like , well , like I said

51:08

, I said to the gentleman I met

51:10

um , his name is justin I said

51:12

why hasn't anybody thought of this before

51:14

? This is like a brilliant idea . And he's like , yeah

51:16

, right , and he paused . He was like I know

51:19

why . Because this was technically

51:21

really difficult . This wasn't an easy thing to

51:23

do . And I'm like , yeah , I suppose , I suppose that does

51:25

make sense .

51:26

He's like , yeah , it's like Mike's fantasy baseball idea

51:28

.

51:28

Yeah .

51:30

So it's good in concept . Yeah , good in concept

51:32

. This game , I

51:34

love it . This

51:37

is such a cool game . I didn't get to play

51:40

the card game yet with my son . I

51:48

just such a cool game . Uh , I didn't get to play the card game yet with my son . I just

51:51

got back from packs . So it's like , uh , it's been pretty busy , but those , those

51:53

are plenty of time . Yeah , uh , that was the highlight of of the packs . Um , yeah

51:55

, I , I covered a lot , uh , at packs . Uh , I will say this I

51:58

brought magic mine . I'm so glad I

52:00

brought my magic mind with me , because

52:02

I would have been so worn out

52:04

and so tired , uh

52:06

, but with the magic mind

52:08

, at least I was able to keep going throughout the

52:10

day and I wasn't , I didn't feel like the jitters

52:12

from coffee had to drink all the coffee , right , and

52:15

also , uh , allowed

52:18

me to go back and , like , start to organize

52:20

my thoughts and think through things . Um

52:23

, so , yeah , I , I

52:25

was like , should I bring my magic mind ? I'm like , no , I

52:27

should , because this is , this is gonna be

52:29

really , really difficult if I don't , and I'm so glad

52:31

I did so . Uh , thank

52:33

you to the folks at magic mind because

52:36

, seriously , that would have been , that

52:38

would have been awful without it . So

52:40

, um

52:42

, so yeah .

52:47

That was my packs . Sounds like it was quite the

52:49

experience .

52:51

Yeah , and then one last thing I'll say

52:53

was got back

52:55

home and we

52:57

flew in on Monday . We drove , we drove up to

52:59

my parents' place , cause that's where my kids were

53:01

staying , and then we drove home

53:03

from there . We didn't get home until like 10

53:06

, 30 at night or so , uh

53:08

, and then the next morning my daughter had a mario

53:10

kart tournament at a ticket

53:12

and participate in uh

53:14

. I I won the first round

53:17

. Uh

53:19

wins a win , take it , I know and

53:21

which then advanced me as a buy

53:23

. I got a buy to the third round , uh

53:26

, and I think there was like , I think he said what , 64

53:29

players in this tournament ? Wow , yeah

53:31

, um , and

53:33

the two people . So then , after , so the first round

53:36

, uh , it was double elimination

53:38

, well , kind of double . What were you playing

53:40

on ? Well , that was the fun thing . Uh

53:42

, they had different stations and it was just random what

53:44

station you might get to . So they had n64

53:47

, they had uh game

53:49

cube , they had a wii , they had

53:51

a couple wii's , they had a couple switches , um

53:54

, so you're playing a mix of all those types

53:56

of games and , uh

53:58

, so the first one I played on I

54:00

didn't think I was going to do well was N64

54:02

. Uh , and what was

54:04

really funny was cause I , my wife , was like , sure

54:07

, so you beat three kids . I'm

54:11

like actually , uh , cause it's four people at the table and I said , actually I didn't

54:13

beat kids , they're all adults . Actually , at that one it

54:18

was like a bunch of teachers and me and uh

54:20

, and there was one kid I should say there was one high school

54:22

kid too . And so

54:25

the way it would work is if you in the first round

54:27

, if you won , so four

54:29

races , you would race four races and you got

54:31

so many points for each win . If you got

54:33

whatever place you got , and if you won

54:36

, then you get an automatic buy to the

54:38

third round . But if you lost or

54:40

if you came in second , third or fourth , you'd

54:42

have to play in the third round . But if you lost and you , or then

54:44

if you came in second , third or fourth , you'd have to play in the second

54:46

round . So I , I , I advanced to the third round because I beat everybody . I was like , oh , like holy crap

54:48

, yeah , please , but yeah , then then the next round , the third round

54:51

, I played and I lost . Then they only

54:53

allowed the first two people first

54:55

and second place to move on , and I

54:57

will say the two people that were on

54:59

my bracket came in first and third overall

55:01

, so it wasn't like you know . So I

55:04

was like , okay , that was

55:06

like kind of like a stacked

55:08

I , it was stacked against me and

55:11

they were really really good and

55:13

I , yeah , but that was fun

55:15

. It was fun to hang out with my daughter and she

55:17

won uh , not the

55:19

no kidding , not the tournament . She won , uh

55:21

, a costume . They also have a trophy

55:23

for the best dressed costume and

55:25

she went as a shy guy and

55:27

uh , and she won and she

55:29

was so ecstatic and so happy that's

55:32

awesome . Yeah , that was pretty cool . So

55:34

she won a trophy for that and she was just over

55:37

the top thrilled . So that

55:40

was uh , that

55:42

was everything . Yeah

55:45

, do you want to go quickly through ? I mean , I'm not going to talk about

55:47

games , I'm playing because I

55:50

played , I pretty much did . Yeah

55:52

, mike , do you want to talk about games that you're playing ?

55:55

You can . I actually just posted a review

55:57

on gamer heads podcastcom .

55:59

Oh yeah .

56:00

So you can check out my review for the

56:02

uh vr game paint the

56:04

town red vr yeah , and

56:06

I didn't check it out yet no , I

56:08

gave it a b . You know it wasn't bad

56:11

. It took . It took really . It took me a while

56:13

to get used to it because , man , that that

56:16

motion sickness really hit me hard in that one . Yeah

56:18

, I'm not gonna lie it did me it . Did me

56:20

it for me as well , mike , though yeah

56:23

, but there's , you

56:26

get used to it and there's other options available

56:28

. So , like you could do , like that snap movement

56:31

and stuff , um , it's

56:33

total chaos .

56:34

It's just like it's a big bar brawl , that

56:37

going on around literally and I mean that literally , because

56:39

there's a bar , it's one of the stages .

56:40

Yeah , they're really uh , but there's some different options

56:42

, but it's basically , it is what it is . It's just , it's

56:44

just a , just a stupid . I'm gonna say stupid in

56:46

terms of not a bad thing like stupid

56:49

in terms of mindless uh , just mindless

56:51

violence . Whatever you can pick up , you

56:53

can bash other bash the npcs

56:55

to bits with them . Yeah , that sounds awesome

56:57

yeah it's a lot of fun , like it's just you

56:59

, just like you go , walk around

57:02

, everything's fine , and then , once you throw that , first

57:04

punch or once you pick up a pool

57:06

cue , smash it over someone's face

57:08

, or or uh , and then like it

57:11

actually and and the graphics are

57:13

like similar to minecraft yeah , I

57:15

guess I'm out but but

57:18

it's very bloody

57:20

like there's there's like you

57:22

could take off like corners of their

57:24

skull . Yeah , you

57:27

know , it's just like it's . Yeah , it

57:29

gets , it gets pretty up , but it's it's cartoonish

57:31

, uh wacky violence

57:33

.

57:33

So I guess that that makes it more acceptable um

57:36

, my favorite , mike , did you play in the bar

57:38

where there's a band playing ? And

57:40

yeah , so there's a big fight going on , the band's still

57:42

playing . And then I went up to them and I grabbed

57:45

their guitar and smashed them and

57:48

I was taking the cymbals and smashing people , the cymbals

57:51

.

57:51

That was so fun yep , yeah

57:53

, so it's a good like stress relief

57:55

and it's a good workout too yeah , it is uh , but

57:58

you that's , it's , I mean that's . And

58:00

then there's , like other modes , that there's like arena

58:02

mode , where it's like literally like a , an arena

58:04

, and you just got to survive , wave after wave like

58:07

horde mode .

58:07

If you're in horde mode exactly what it is .

58:09

There's also a roguelike mode , um

58:12

that , where it's not just people that you're fighting

58:14

against , like zombies and monsters , things

58:17

like that . So there's quite a few options for being

58:19

a 20 game , yeah , um , but

58:21

if you're just like looking to just just

58:25

mindlessly waste some time and de-stress

58:28

, definitely

58:30

worth it . Check it out at gamerheadspodcastcom

58:33

.

58:33

I was going to say where did you ? Where can we find that ?

58:35

Yeah , gamerheadspodcastcom and

58:38

that's paint the town red , vr , nice . Other

58:41

than that , I played some more

58:43

MLB the show , as you

58:45

know , because I posted my score last night

58:47

where and this is , I love this . So I

58:50

first I was like and I asked

58:52

Phil because Phil's our resident expert on

58:54

the show Like is there like a retro mode

58:56

, kind of like an RBI baseball mode , something

58:58

that somebody that like me , that that

59:00

only likes a relaxed version

59:02

of baseball , and feels like , yeah

59:04

, they've got that there and I

59:07

played it and I'm like this

59:09

is horrible , the

59:11

, the like the rbi baseball mode ? I'm

59:13

like like , okay , good , I , I like

59:16

a baseball game that gets back to basics , but

59:18

this is way too basic

59:20

. I'm like this this almost looks

59:22

like a $1.99

59:25

game on the eShop .

59:29

Why didn't you ever assign me that game ?

59:31

Yeah , I know . Well , no , because no . That's what I'm saying

59:33

, that's what it feels like .

59:34

Yeah , I would have played trash-ass baseball for $1.99

59:37

.

59:38

So I went in and I did

59:40

just a regular exhibition

59:43

game and then I found out that

59:45

there's local co-op , which I

59:48

don't know about you guys , but I'm not very competitive . So

59:50

I prefer a co-op game over one

59:52

on one . So

59:54

my son and I were playing

59:56

and you can customize the

59:59

local co-op so he would

1:00:01

pitch for one inning and then I would pitch

1:00:03

for the other inning . But when it came to , and

1:00:05

he was in field the entire

1:00:07

time and I was outfield the entire time

1:00:09

, and then whenever we were up

1:00:11

to bat , we chose to switch

1:00:14

. Every time there was a new

1:00:16

batter so he would go and then I would go

1:00:18

, he would go and I would , and we

1:00:21

we were , we were cracking

1:00:24

. Oh , of course , we played it on the easiest setting

1:00:26

and we won 57 to nothing

1:00:28

it's

1:00:31

a massacre we were just , we were

1:00:33

just did you get the achievement yes , uh

1:00:35

, 28 , you have to get 28 , nothing , yep

1:00:37

, yeah , uh , I got a grand

1:00:39

slam , that was fun . But

1:00:42

yeah , and that's the thing , the achievements

1:00:44

in the game are fun too . They're challenging

1:00:46

but , they're fun . It's

1:00:49

really tough to hit a triple .

1:00:52

Well , when you're the White Sox when you're the .

1:00:54

White Sox Well no

1:00:56

, because there should be a couple of speedy people on that team

1:00:58

, at least somebody that's got like a rock solid 80

1:01:00

on speed .

1:01:01

Yeah , yeah , on that team At least somebody that's got like a rock solid 80 on speed . But

1:01:03

we got it . But the thing is we

1:01:05

hit 54

1:01:08

home runs , all

1:01:12

right . So we weren't playing no small ball , we were

1:01:14

.

1:01:15

Yeah , you got a gap one . Was that all in the first inning

1:01:17

? No

1:01:19

, I think the most we had were 13 home

1:01:21

runs in one inning Okay runs

1:01:24

or just runs home runs holy

1:01:26

hell it's crazy that's just abuse

1:01:29

yeah there's no

1:01:31

mercy law .

1:01:31

There's no mercy rules in this game or

1:01:33

what ?

1:01:34

no , it's , it's . There's no mercy in the majors

1:01:36

.

1:01:36

Yeah , it's true well , we're talking about realistic baseball

1:01:40

.

1:01:40

I forgot , sorry . 57

1:01:42

and nothing .

1:01:43

Yeah , that's realistic so

1:01:45

I I'm really enjoying . Did you play against

1:01:47

something ? What happened there ? What was ? Going on we

1:01:51

played against mary school for the blog . Yeah

1:01:53

, this

1:01:55

is mrs stevenson's uh third grade

1:01:57

recess . No

1:02:00

, we played against , we played against the tigers .

1:02:02

But again it was on .

1:02:03

It was on casual

1:02:05

, easiest rookie settings yeah

1:02:08

, also , we didn't use it but we also did

1:02:10

it on the casual controls , like where

1:02:12

it's , you're just pressing one button

1:02:14

. Yeah , choose a contact hit or a

1:02:16

regular hit , like

1:02:19

you don't have to move the cursor

1:02:21

around to try to predict where the ball's gonna be , um

1:02:25

, yeah

1:02:27

, so I I'm really enjoying the game

1:02:29

um mlb , the

1:02:31

show 24 . My first time playing a

1:02:33

show game oh , I'm liking it . I'm enjoying

1:02:36

it . Uh , other than that

1:02:38

I haven't been

1:02:40

playing anything .

1:02:41

Okay

1:02:43

.

1:02:43

That's all .

1:02:43

I got Nice , what

1:02:46

about ?

1:02:46

you , phil . I too have been playing MLB the Show . Wow

1:02:48

, shockering , I can't believe it

1:02:51

. A whole lot of surprise there . It's

1:02:57

my first time in 12 hours touching the show . Yeah

1:03:00

, I play a lot of the show . Diamond Odyssey

1:03:02

team looks sweet . I like a lot of the show . Diamond Odyssey team looks

1:03:04

sweet . I like a lot of the changes that have been made to the game which

1:03:06

we discussed last week that nobody will ever hear because

1:03:12

Mike and I are

1:03:14

just NPCs in Roger's

1:03:16

world and real quick and real

1:03:18

brief . Most of the changes have been very visual to the entire thing

1:03:20

, as

1:03:22

far as things like catchers not actually calling

1:03:24

pitches via signal , doing them via pitch

1:03:27

the communicator that they were on their wrist

1:03:29

and in their ears these days . Oh , is that true

1:03:31

? I didn't know that . Yeah

1:03:33

, man , that's a real thing .

1:03:34

I didn't know that .

1:03:35

They do it both in real life and in MLB the show

1:03:37

, which is kind of cool that they no longer

1:03:39

have people flashing the two , three , tap the inside

1:03:41

of the leg . It's just pressing of a couple of buttons

1:03:43

on a wristband that a

1:03:46

quarterback would wear in the NFL .

1:03:47

Weird .

1:03:48

It's how they do a lot of it because there was too much pitch stealing

1:03:50

happening .

1:03:51

Yeah , yeah .

1:03:51

Now catchers just do it that way . Pitch

1:03:54

clock violations are still there . I would take

1:03:56

my running total up to about 40 of them , because

1:03:58

I just don't pay attention when the transition happens

1:04:00

and sometimes I respond to text messages , twitter

1:04:02

messages yeah whatever . Um

1:04:05

, one thing I give a lot

1:04:07

of credit to this game for and I didn't mention this in the

1:04:09

show that will never air is they

1:04:11

did a derrick jeter storyline in this

1:04:14

, and I'm not a big derrick jeter fan , I'm not a big

1:04:16

yankees fan , but they handled this

1:04:18

thing super , super well

1:04:20

. Where you start off playing

1:04:22

, it's only through the first like five years of his career

1:04:24

, through 96 to 2000 , but they handle

1:04:26

it very well as far as the storytelling and playing through the

1:04:28

moments go . And which point you unlock a bunch of

1:04:30

different cards for your diamond dynasty team that are all yankees

1:04:33

related , of course , but , like some

1:04:35

of the instances will unlock different camera angles

1:04:37

as soon as you make contact with the ball where , like , it changes

1:04:39

up and kind of goes cinematic , where it's

1:04:41

really well done and they tell the stories behind a lot

1:04:44

of the instances as well . Only

1:04:46

takes a couple hours complete , but the rewards are there . Uh

1:04:48

, again , it's me . I'm gonna love this show

1:04:50

, no matter what they do , unless they absolutely fuck

1:04:53

some stuff up . Seriously , sorry for the language

1:04:55

, but it's kind of my jam

1:04:57

and yeah , I've played

1:04:59

a lot of that over the course of last week because it's

1:05:01

what I go to . Like Mike said , the achievements

1:05:03

are challenging enough , but not super

1:05:05

challenging and heady . I

1:05:08

think I'm at 800 out of 1,000 right now

1:05:10

as far as achievements go , if not just shy of

1:05:12

800 , because they can all be easily

1:05:15

accumulated throughout the course of a game . A

1:05:17

couple of them are a little bit longer . Like

1:05:19

Mike's scoring , what did you say ? It's

1:05:21

36 runs , runs 54

1:05:24

yeah , but what's the achievement

1:05:27

pop out oh , the 22 , 28 . You

1:05:29

have to win by 28 yep , so 28

1:05:31

like that one's a lengthy one , as well as throwing a nine

1:05:33

game or nine inning complete game

1:05:35

with less than 100 pitches is also

1:05:38

a tough one to get to . And there's one other one that's also

1:05:40

, I don't remember , off the top of my head , it's a little bit more difficult

1:05:42

, which are going to take some grinding to get to . And there's one other one that's also , I don't remember , off the top of my head , it's a little bit more difficult , which

1:05:44

are going to take some grinding to get to , especially for myself , that only plays three

1:05:46

diamond , diamond dynasty games . I would have to

1:05:48

switch modes , which I'm not necessarily opposed

1:05:50

to . Oh , base is loaded , nobody

1:05:53

out , strike out the side is also one of the achievements

1:05:55

. It's also a tougher one too , um

1:05:58

, but again , I love Mike .

1:06:00

I was able to unlock the 100

1:06:02

pitches achievement by playing in

1:06:05

the garbage

1:06:07

. Rbi classic baseball

1:06:09

retro , really yes .

1:06:12

All right , I might have to snipe that one from you if that's an option

1:06:14

.

1:06:16

Otherwise , maybe we can try playing online

1:06:18

against each other , and then maybe you can beat me and

1:06:20

I'll just you know , I , I'll

1:06:23

just sit there and fall asleep and then you just throw

1:06:25

it don't be a lot closer .

1:06:27

You think , like it's one of the many , many

1:06:29

games in my life that I say I should be better at this , for

1:06:31

how much time I spend on it . Like I say

1:06:33

with overwatch almost daily as well , like why

1:06:35

do I suck so bad at this game ? I should be good at this . With

1:06:37

how much time I spend with it . Um

1:06:40

, so yeah , I played a lot of the show , played

1:06:42

a lot of . Uh , I have not

1:06:44

picked back up against spongebob battle for

1:06:46

bikini bottom , rehydrated since

1:06:48

the show came out , as much as I would like to continue

1:06:50

that . Maybe I won't do that tomorrow because I'm going to

1:06:52

spend all day watching baseball , but I'll do that throughout

1:06:54

the course of this week and wrap that up . Also

1:06:57

super close to wrapping up alan wake 2

1:06:59

and just have not dove back into that same with dead

1:07:01

Island 2 . Like I've got three games that are just on

1:07:03

the cusp of being finished that I don't necessarily want

1:07:05

to finish but should finish .

1:07:08

Yeah , that's

1:07:10

what I've been playing have

1:07:13

either of you , because I think South Park Snow Days

1:07:15

came out right . Didn't it just come out ?

1:07:16

it did I have not touched it yet

1:07:19

, okay there's I've actually got on my

1:07:21

. There's somebody that I watch on youtube who

1:07:23

has a channel . He's doing his own review of

1:07:25

it . So , um , I've

1:07:28

heard mixed things

1:07:30

about it .

1:07:31

It's a short game , but I don't

1:07:33

know because last time and when we

1:07:35

talked about it before it came out , we're all three of

1:07:37

us are like what is this game

1:07:40

?

1:07:40

like what is ? I still don't know what is the whole point

1:07:42

of it yeah , uh

1:07:45

, I'll just mention this real quick .

1:07:47

Uh , while I was in boston

1:07:49

, my wife and I both brought our switches with us and

1:07:52

uh , oh , please , uh

1:07:55

, and we played some dr mar , dr

1:07:57

mario against each other . I will put

1:07:59

, I'll put my wife against anybody to play

1:08:01

Dr Mario , because she is really good . I

1:08:03

can't beat her , I can't , I can't . Well , I

1:08:06

beat her once it was . So we have we have a rule

1:08:08

. The rule is that you , you know , you start

1:08:10

at level zero and then if you win

1:08:12

like all three rounds , then

1:08:15

you get to . You have to level up one and like

1:08:17

, my wife is like at level like 10 , and I'm not

1:08:19

like level two , and

1:08:21

then I'll start winning . So

1:08:23

I guess it's not really beating her because she's still

1:08:25

way , way . But

1:08:27

man , there was times where she's throwing junk

1:08:29

at me and I'm like , how are you throwing junk

1:08:31

at me ? This game just started and

1:08:34

she just sits there and laughs like she thinks it's really

1:08:36

funny , because it's like literally like three

1:08:38

things in there's junk throwing at me . I'm like , are you

1:08:40

kidding me ? I barely got anything

1:08:43

down . Um , but she's

1:08:45

really good at the game . And then the other thing I'll just mention real

1:08:47

quick is . I played some nes

1:08:49

golf because that's on

1:08:51

. Uh , it's not bad . I like that

1:08:53

game a lot . That's that I would say . Oh

1:08:56

, not nes golf , um , sorry , the

1:08:58

mario golf on on the nes

1:09:00

um , which I think is the best . My my , I think it's actually still one

1:09:02

of the best mario games out there . Mario golf on on the nes um , which I think is the best . My my , I think it's actually still one of the best mario

1:09:04

games out there . Mario golf games um

1:09:07

, I got a hole in one . Nice

1:09:09

, yeah , I was like that was the first time

1:09:11

I ever got a hole in one on that game . I played that game a lot

1:09:14

on the . But did I say , did I say nes

1:09:16

? I meant game boy .

1:09:17

I'm sorry it's on the game boy color game

1:09:19

change your mind like six times I meant to say game

1:09:21

boy color game .

1:09:23

Uh , I've been pga 2k 20 , that's what I meant

1:09:25

. Uh , yeah , no , it's a game boy color game and

1:09:27

I got a hole in one and I was very proud because I played a lot

1:09:29

of that game when it first came out . Um

1:09:31

, because it's an rpg

1:09:34

type game too and you can level up your character , so

1:09:36

it's really . It's really a good , good golf

1:09:38

game I like that .

1:09:39

Did you get an achievement for it ?

1:09:42

So anyway , that

1:09:44

does the show .

1:09:47

I did also play some PGA 2K23 this

1:09:49

week against our friends of the show . Kyle

1:09:51

and Carrington Played some PGA

1:09:53

against them , absolutely whooped

1:09:55

their ass , because that's what I do and

1:09:58

I wish they had bigger butts so that way I could whoop it even harder

1:10:00

and bigger and faster . But they

1:10:02

don't . Tiny butted bastards

1:10:04

okay , all right

1:10:06
