00:00:07,160 --> 00:00:13,480
Hello DeMarcus, this is another 
exciting episode of Black Geek 

2
00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:15,960
Energy. 
How are you doing this week? 

3
00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:18,880
I'm doing, I'm doing, I'm doing,
brother. 

4
00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:22,000
I'm, you know, ups and downs. 
It's been a rough time in my 

5
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:23,760
life. 
Yeah, ups and downs, been a 

6
00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:25,600
rough time in my life. 
But you know, I'm making it 

7
00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:28,240
through anything. 
You need to talk about. 

8
00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:31,600
No, not for real. 
Just like family stuff. 

9
00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:38,840
How's you? 
Excuse me this week. 

10
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:43,040
The same way we solved every 
week of lactic energy this week 

11
00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:48,280
there. 
My previous week I was in 

12
00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:51,280
Nashville for most of the week. 
Or like Springfield? 

13
00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:55,320
Nashville. 
Yeah, yeah, I got back what, 

14
00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:58,120
Thursday night? 
So you went from Atlanta to 

15
00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:01,640
Nashville to Cali? 
I went from Atlanta to New 

16
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:05,319
Orleans to Nashville to Cali. 
OK. 

17
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:09,200
Yeah, it says I've been back 
just like trying to catch up on 

18
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:12,240
stuff like I got like I had 
challenged a parking ticket 

19
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:19,720
before I left and then when I 
got back my my tag is expired so

20
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:23,000
I need to renew my registration.
So just like a lot of stuff I 

21
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:26,200
need to catch up on, it's. 
Just been tag was expired. 

22
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:32,360
I mean, I knew it was expiring, 
but I had like before I left, I 

23
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:35,560
had like another like couple of 
weeks before I needed to like 

24
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:38,560
renew it, but I was gone for 
like 3 or 4 weeks. 

25
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:46,800
You were gone for two. 
Well, you did all this other 

26
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:50,360
going all the way around the 
country, so you may have been 

27
00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:57,200
gone for 3 or 4, but yeah, what 
you do in New Orleans, What did 

28
00:01:57,200 --> 00:01:59,320
you eat? 
I went to CK. 

29
00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:08,680
Oh, we love that over here. 
I I know you do. 

30
00:02:09,039 --> 00:02:12,000
What did I eat? 
What did we eat? 

31
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:14,720
I didn't eat. 
Nothing like special, nothing 

32
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:19,600
like specific oils. 
You didn't go to Cafe DuMont? 

33
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:23,560
No, I haven't been to Cafe 
DuMont since like maybe like the

34
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:26,680
first or second time I went. 
Maybe like the first two times I

35
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:28,440
went to New Orleans, I went to 
Cafe DuMont. 

36
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:29,760
But after that I don't go no 
more. 

37
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:32,160
It's like a touristy. 
It's more of a touristy thing 

38
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:34,160
and I've done the touristy 
stuff. 

39
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:38,840
So I don't know. 
So you haven't seen like a 

40
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:43,360
voodoo priestess they got your 
tarot card read or anything like

41
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:45,200
that? 
No, I'm not really into that. 

42
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:49,200
All that kind of stuff. 
I have my tarot, my tarot cards 

43
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:51,960
read Cat used to my tarot like 
years ago. 

44
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:56,480
But yeah, more more that's more 
for like fun. 

45
00:02:56,480 --> 00:03:00,040
I'm not really into getting my 
terrace read and stuff like 

46
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:03,040
that. 
Bi professional I. 

47
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:08,480
Don't take it seriously. 
She is a professional person. 

48
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:10,200
Oh, I don't know about the 
voodoo. 

49
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:24,080
So how was Nashville? 
It was good, you know, wasn't 

50
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:26,240
there for, you know, it was 
unexpected. 

51
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:29,880
It was didn't expect to have to 
go there, but it was chill. 

52
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:33,240
I was mostly like working when I
while I was there because I, you

53
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:39,480
know, I had took a week off to 
be with my family and then, you 

54
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:42,520
know, the next couple weeks I 
was like working from home or 

55
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:48,280
whatever. 
So yeah, so it's like a lot of 

56
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:49,440
work. 
And it was stressful getting 

57
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:52,920
back to work too, just because 
like this is our, this is our 

58
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:57,160
busiest, one of our busiest 
seasons because there's a big 

59
00:03:57,160 --> 00:04:01,240
education tech conference that 
my company participates in every

60
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:05,000
year and it's in April. 
So like you like after holidays,

61
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:07,920
when we get back, when we get 
back January, there's like a lot

62
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:13,360
of schools like do and change 
and implement and release before

63
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:16,800
this conference so that, you 
know, and I don't know, so that 

64
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:20,079
folks can see it. 
So yeah. 

65
00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:28,040
Got to work and we need all this
stuff. 

66
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:38,680
Well, it's not so right. 
So you just had a week doing 

67
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:40,040
work? 
Nothing really. 

68
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:45,040
Yeah, nothing really exciting. 
Like I got Drama Night, which 

69
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:46,400
was. 
Drama. 

70
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:53,200
Drunk got drunk what it was in? 
Your house or at a club or. 

71
00:04:55,040 --> 00:05:01,000
What's coming next? 
It was pretty dope spot, Little 

72
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:03,760
spot. 
It's a tequila bar because. 

73
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:06,160
You're breaking up a little bit,
a. 

74
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:13,360
Tequila forward bar like most of
the drinks are tequila drinks. 

75
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:18,680
They have some like Cajun like 
Cajun waffle fries and then she 

76
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:23,160
was I take this first. 
Well, what? 

77
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:29,680
Hopefully you'll get back in the
mood that you seem kind of down 

78
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:30,400
to die. 
I mean you. 

79
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:36,560
Know Jerry, what's going on so. 
What you say? 

80
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:39,120
I say, you know what's going on 
in my own. 

81
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:49,360
We'll talk about on the Patreon 
sure in my life and tell me if I

82
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:52,120
start breaking up so that you 
can understand me. 

83
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:59,080
But in my life I just want to 
make one thing perfectly clear 

84
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:04,280
to everybody, not you, because I
think that you know well, we 

85
00:06:04,280 --> 00:06:05,760
haven't specifically talked 
about it. 

86
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:13,880
I'm well to make everybody else 
out there understand that Why am

87
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:15,240
I echoing? 
I hear myself I. 

88
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:18,760
Don't hear an echo. 
OK, nevermind. 

89
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:24,840
I want to make everybody 
perfectly clear that this 

90
00:06:24,840 --> 00:06:28,280
podcast is about anime. 
It's about TV, movies, comics, 

91
00:06:28,280 --> 00:06:30,920
hit what's up, RPGs, video cams 
that we're going to talk about 

92
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:36,400
today. 
But I can talk about whatever I 

93
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:41,240
want to talk about. 
So if I want to talk about how 

94
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:46,240
this country is going to Hades 
in a handbasket, I will. 

95
00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:53,880
And if I want to talk about 
things that are dealing with Das

96
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:56,560
president, I will. 
And I just want to make it 

97
00:06:57,080 --> 00:07:04,360
perfectly clear that Jardo will 
not be compromising with anyone.

98
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:12,160
Jardo is not a compromiser. 
Jardo has never compromised. 

99
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:18,920
And Jardo is not someone who is 
going to conform to a racist, 

100
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:22,560
misogynist, xenophobic or 
homophobic opinion. 

101
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:28,240
I've never been that person. 
You know, in, in history. 

102
00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:33,520
History will show you that 
Martin Luther King tried to 

103
00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:37,760
compromise and they killed him. 
Frank Hampton tried to 

104
00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:41,040
compromise and they killed him 
in front of his wife and 

105
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:44,400
daughter. 
Frank Hampton for Fred Hampton. 

106
00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:48,200
Oh, Fred Hampton, sorry, Fred 
Hampton tried to compromise and 

107
00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:50,280
they killed in front of his life
and daughter in his home. 

108
00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:53,440
I am not going to compromise 
with anything. 

109
00:07:54,160 --> 00:08:04,280
This whole Trump stuff and 
Paramount by WB and all of this 

110
00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:06,440
right wing stuff in the world. 
I'm going to talk about if I 

111
00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:12,160
want to talk about it, I am so. 
What, what, what, what happened,

112
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:13,480
Jerry? 
Because I feel like I'm, I feel 

113
00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:18,920
like I missed a, a, a catalyst. 
No, nothing happened. 

114
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:24,320
One of my friends was just on 
Facebook and he was like, we 

115
00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:28,400
should talk to the racist, we 
should talk to the homophones 

116
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:30,560
just so that we could get stuff 
passed. 

117
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:33,919
Now anything that we get passed 
with a racist isn't good for us.

118
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:36,880
I don't care if they're giving 
us the 40 acres and the MOOL 

119
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:40,240
that they promised us 100 years 
ago. 

120
00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:44,680
Anything that we compromise with
a racist, a xenophobic, 

121
00:08:44,680 --> 00:08:46,840
misogynist or a homophobic isn't
good for us. 

122
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:51,400
The best thing to happen for us 
is for those who would just die.

123
00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:58,760
So no, no compromise will be 
made over here on my part. 

124
00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:01,400
No compromise is made on my 
part. 

125
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:05,840
I just wanted to make that 
perfectly clear to everybody 

126
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:09,920
listening, OK? 
Who did it? 

127
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:15,000
I feel like if you've been 
listening to Black Geek Energy 

128
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:18,680
for the past four years, you, 
you know. 

129
00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:22,640
If you know me. 
It's extreme. 

130
00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:28,360
It it's not extreme, it's not 
extreme to say don't be racist. 

131
00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:30,800
It's not saying to say why you 
homophobic. 

132
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:32,520
I call you homophobic every 
time. 

133
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:37,760
So it's not extreme at all. 
Feel like you. 

134
00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:42,240
I think that calling people are,
I think that calling people out 

135
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:49,680
for their biases that get people
hurt or killed is not extreme. 

136
00:09:49,680 --> 00:09:52,680
It's normal. 
And if anybody doesn't think 

137
00:09:52,680 --> 00:09:55,120
that, then that needs to be 
normalized. 

138
00:09:55,560 --> 00:09:59,480
And for y'all who do not think 
that, then y'all are normal. 

139
00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:08,000
Y'all are radicalized. 
So yeah, I just wanted to make 

140
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:12,000
that perfectly clear. 
OK, I believe yeah. 

141
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:19,240
What else did I do this week? 
Well, I went to see Undertone. 

142
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:27,360
It's the new A 24 movies about, 
guess what, podcasters and they 

143
00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:32,920
are podcasting at 3:00 in the 
morning and their podcast is 

144
00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:34,200
about 1 is a skeptic. 
Oh. 

145
00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:35,840
You're breaking up, You're 
breaking up. 

146
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:41,680
Sorry about better now. 
Say something else. 

147
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:45,840
ABCDEFG. 
Better. 

148
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:46,680
Better. 
Better, better. 

149
00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:50,320
So their pockets about 1 is a 
skeptic, 1 is a believer. 

150
00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:54,560
They're talking about paranormal
things and it's 1 episode. 

151
00:10:57,000 --> 00:11:01,760
They get an e-mail with some 
attachments of some sound files 

152
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:04,480
and it just starts off from 
there. 

153
00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:11,080
I would have been more into it 
because the sound quality was 

154
00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:15,400
amazing if there wasn't somebody
sleeping in the theater. 

155
00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:25,520
If you are going to see a movie 
opening on a Thursday, opening 

156
00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:33,280
pre opening night at 9:00 at 
630, take your butt home and get

157
00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:35,840
some rest first. 
If you don't have it in, you 

158
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:38,440
don't do it. 
Wait, somebody fell asleep in 

159
00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:41,000
the movie? 
Yes, and they were snoring. 

160
00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:46,960
But they snoring loud. 
Yes, I got 2 white girls over 

161
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:50,160
here shrieking at everything. 
And I got one person 'cause I'm 

162
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:53,160
all the way to the top. 
One person, a couple of rows 

163
00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:58,760
like I'm in G This person's in 
CA Couple of rows below me 

164
00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:03,400
snoring and it's only like six, 
7:00 in the afternoon. 

165
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:06,440
Why are you so tired? 
Why? 

166
00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:07,960
Because he. 
Worked 12 hour shift and then 

167
00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:09,640
wanted to come see a movie. 
Well. 

168
00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:11,680
You don't need to see a movie 
opening night. 

169
00:12:11,680 --> 00:12:14,920
That's where the Die hard you 
need to see a movie The weekend 

170
00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:17,480
if you got to sleep the the 
whole time. 

171
00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:20,240
I don't feel asleep in plenty of
movies like this. 

172
00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:22,480
I don't. 
I don't think I snore but. 

173
00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:29,080
Well, this person was snoring. 
He was snoring and he just took 

174
00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:32,320
me out of the whole movie. 
I saw I, I think I would have 

175
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:36,480
been more into the movie if he 
wasn't snoring, but now I got to

176
00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:39,160
see the whole thing again. 
I have to see the full thing. 

177
00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:42,360
And what was it called again? 
It's called Undertone. 

178
00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:48,320
It's about 8:24, about two 
podcasters like us, we should do

179
00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:52,920
a, you know, in Halloween, we 
should maybe do a podcast at 

180
00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:56,320
3:00 in the morning to see if we
can summon any demons. 

181
00:12:56,560 --> 00:12:57,680
Nah, you got that? 
I'm good. 

182
00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:03,320
Well, we should just do one to 
talk about some scary stuff. 

183
00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:09,880
We always do. 
OK, well another thing I did was

184
00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:16,960
I got this. 
A new phone. 

185
00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:29,280
Yes, it is the OK, the Samsung 
Galaxy S26 Ultra and it is 

186
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:36,120
equipped with AS26 pin. 
It has the privacy screen. 

187
00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:38,960
I think I can show it to you. 
Maybe I can show it to you OK. 

188
00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:41,880
Like the like when you turn it 
to somebody try to look at your 

189
00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:43,560
joint from the side, it goes 
private. 

190
00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:50,280
Yes, but it is ingrained in the 
software in the things. 

191
00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:55,960
So like look, the privacy screen
is on right now when I turn it 

192
00:13:56,080 --> 00:14:01,640
to the side. 
Yeah, yeah, Yeah, That's 

193
00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:02,920
private, all right. 
Yeah. 

194
00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:07,800
That is private and then because
it is now it's now it's off. 

195
00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:11,200
So you can see the difference 
and because it is ingrained in 

196
00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:15,720
the actual screen and not like a
little film, I could do it for 

197
00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:18,800
like certain. 
If I get a notification, then 

198
00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:23,000
you'll just privatize that 
notification so that you aren't 

199
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:25,320
like looking on my shoulder or 
like when I'm entering 

200
00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:27,920
passwords. 
It'll privatize that part of the

201
00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:30,360
screen. 
It's really, really cool. 

202
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:34,880
I've been doing a lot of things 
and it's really cool that the 

203
00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:37,160
Samsung. 
The same with your new phone. 

204
00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:40,320
Yeah, the same with a new phone,
but like a lot of things I don't

205
00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:45,160
have to do because a lot of 
things on my phone are already 

206
00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:50,040
ingrained with who I am as a 
person from being a Samsung user

207
00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:56,080
sister S3 and now I'm on the S 
23 or S 26 because of 20. 

208
00:14:56,200 --> 00:15:02,120
Years the Samsung ain't it. 23. 
Well, you said S3, you started 

209
00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:03,480
with the S3. 
Yeah. 

210
00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:06,720
And so I imagine they come out 
with a new phone every year. 

211
00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:09,760
And if you're on the 23 now? 
Yeah. 

212
00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:21,760
Yeah, 20 years. 
I don't get that math 20. 3 - 3.

213
00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:35,040
Oh well, you're right. 
Look, I'm not a mathematician, 

214
00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:37,440
but. 
Apparently you're not a grade 

215
00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:42,080
school math for either. 
But I forgot, I was going to say

216
00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:45,200
too much math in my head, but 
yeah, this phone is a great 

217
00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:47,760
phone. 
And like with the Samsung Smart 

218
00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:53,200
switch, like all I have to do is
run that application and it puts

219
00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:58,160
all my settings, all my files, 
my homepage, my password, so I 

220
00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:01,520
don't have to enter in each 
password and forget them and 

221
00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:04,000
reset them for every 
application. 

222
00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:08,600
Like all that stuff comes over 
my old phone and comes into my 

223
00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:14,560
new phone automatically so that 
when this is over is Samsung. 

224
00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:18,960
Paying you for this, for this 
ad, this ad segment, this is an.

225
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:21,920
Ad segment, this is just 
ammonia. 

226
00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:25,120
You selling it bro? 
You're not going to get are. 

227
00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:27,320
Are you going to get one? 
I'm not. 

228
00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:30,000
Well, I'm not, I'm not doing, 
I'm not doing that job. 

229
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:32,520
That's why I say this is not for
you, because I can't convert 

230
00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:33,560
you. 
But no, no. 

231
00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:35,640
No, no, no, no, no. 
I think you. 

232
00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:39,240
I think you. 
I think you could get some 

233
00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:41,280
sponsorship because you might 
not convert me, but you there 

234
00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:43,920
are plenty of other listeners 
who may be converted. 

235
00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:51,680
Well, there are things in the 
works, but I but I really am 

236
00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:55,920
enjoying this found and of 
course this atmosphere I mean 

237
00:16:55,920 --> 00:17:03,320
this was it software ecosystem. 
There we go One thing I don't 

238
00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:06,240
like is you notice I do not have
a case for my phone. 

239
00:17:08,079 --> 00:17:13,480
Do I need a case? 
No, I so like now I used to have

240
00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:19,319
the S 22 for the camera up here.
So I use my old phone for my 

241
00:17:19,319 --> 00:17:23,800
camera. 
Now, if you knew how many times 

242
00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:28,079
I dropped that phone over the 
past two years, dropped it on 

243
00:17:28,319 --> 00:17:31,960
carpet, dropped it on this 
pavement, dropped the air, 

244
00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:35,720
kicked the air, guess what? 
A car rolled over it. 

245
00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:43,720
Not a scratch, nothing. 
And even if I did get a crack in

246
00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:45,720
my screen, it's only $10 to 
repair it. 

247
00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:48,200
Oh. 
Shit, that's pretty. 

248
00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:49,920
Good. 
Only $10.00. 

249
00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:54,920
So I'm like, do I need a case 
because they don't have the 

250
00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:56,920
lighter? 
Did you see my old cases where 

251
00:17:56,920 --> 00:18:00,680
they lit up and they like if I 
got a notification they would do

252
00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:04,120
a little LED thing and it would 
light up OK? 

253
00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:08,240
Well, my old cases by saying 
somewhere really nifty and they 

254
00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:10,400
don't make through no more. 
So I'm like, I'm not going to 

255
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:12,200
get a case. 
I'm probably not going to get a 

256
00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:15,800
case but you. 
Didn't think we're like your 

257
00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:22,560
your your your your. 
Flashlight flashes when you get 

258
00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:24,120
a notification or a phone call 
or something. 

259
00:18:24,360 --> 00:18:27,000
I don't do that because I'm 
mostly at home. 

260
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:31,040
I don't need things flashing in 
the dark at me, that's all, I 

261
00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:32,720
don't think. 
Anyone needs that and it's all 

262
00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:34,920
and it always bothers me when 
people have it. 

263
00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:39,280
Well, the deaf. 
Sure, yeah. 

264
00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:43,720
But most people who I see, most 
people who I have it. 

265
00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:47,880
And then? 
Even if you are deaf, vibrate. 

266
00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:53,040
But if you set the phone down. 
Sure, sure. 

267
00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:56,760
Of course. 
I mean, if you, I guess for me, 

268
00:18:56,760 --> 00:18:59,480
if I set my phone down and I'm 
getting notifications, I have 

269
00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:02,280
elected to miss those 
notifications because I set the 

270
00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:06,960
phone away from it. 
And but I'm, you know, but if 

271
00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:09,680
I'm like at the club or at 
dinner or just like out in the 

272
00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:11,920
world and I just see this thing 
like flashing from somebody's 

273
00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:13,640
pocket, I'm like, what the fuck 
is going on? 

274
00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:15,600
What kind of emergency is going 
is this? 

275
00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:18,120
Yeah. 
It's it's, it's always bothered 

276
00:19:18,120 --> 00:19:21,360
me, but, you know, it is an 
accessibility feature for the 

277
00:19:21,360 --> 00:19:22,400
deaf. 
Yeah. 

278
00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:25,680
I think I can. 
Well, I know I could turn it on 

279
00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:28,880
for certain notifications or we 
get certain texts and certain 

280
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:31,560
phone calls. 
But no, I don't do that. 

281
00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:33,840
I would just look at my phone 
every 5 minutes. 

282
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:40,440
But yes, I think that we're 
going to do an episode where we 

283
00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:45,160
talk about Apple versus Samsung.
We're just going to talk about 

284
00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:46,640
Apple, Samsung, I. 
Think I feel like we've done 

285
00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:48,600
that episode. 
No, we haven't. 

286
00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:49,680
Not yet. 
Sure. 

287
00:19:50,120 --> 00:19:52,760
Yeah, OK. 
I feel like we have maybe we did

288
00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:56,440
a Mac versus PC episode, but no.
Didn't do that either. 

289
00:19:56,720 --> 00:19:59,400
I feel like we have Jared if 
this feels familiar, but 

290
00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:00,640
alright, I'll believe you. 
I'm. 

291
00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:04,360
Not going to steer you wrong. 
I would definitely know it 

292
00:20:04,360 --> 00:20:06,880
because. 
You you would definitely steer 

293
00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:11,440
me wrong, but. 
DeMarcus, I would never do 

294
00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:13,480
anything like that. 
OK. 

295
00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:20,360
But we did not do a episode yet,
and I think this about the time 

296
00:20:20,360 --> 00:20:24,840
we finish the score. 
So start looking at the videos, 

297
00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:27,280
'cause I'm a I'm gonna come out 
there. 

298
00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:29,080
Like, oh, you gonna have all 
the. 

299
00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:33,400
All the facts 'cause you've 
never you've always had Apple 

300
00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:35,640
devices after the Nokia and 
Razor, right? 

301
00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:39,480
Yeah, yeah, I had like a Nokia, 
I had the and then I had a 

302
00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:42,720
Razor, the Motorola Razor, which
low key was my favorite phone 

303
00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:44,400
they. 
Have it now. 

304
00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:48,920
I don't want Android ecosystem 
but they have it now I. 

305
00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:52,880
Don't want it again now and then
I I got that first. 

306
00:20:53,360 --> 00:20:55,640
Was it the iPhone? 
Did I get the first iPhone or 

307
00:20:55,640 --> 00:21:00,440
did I get like the three GI? 
Think I got the 3G first and and

308
00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:02,760
ever since then iPhones all the 
way. 

309
00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:09,040
Oh my God I saw the do Samsung 
little clamp phone that like 

310
00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:11,960
clamps it's like really small. 
The touch screen. 

311
00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:16,480
It looks so like not the phone, 
the phone offers like this. 

312
00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:19,160
It's like 2 of these things. 
Like the one? 

313
00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:20,920
Like the one? 
Yeah. 

314
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:27,720
It looks so amazing, Like I knew
that it had a screen on the 

315
00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:32,560
inside, but if you close it, 
then that part's a screen too. 

316
00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:36,880
And like it does all these nifty
things like when you get enough 

317
00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:41,280
vacation and when you get a car.
I was like, wow, I would, I, I, 

318
00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:43,320
I was like seriously looking at 
it. 

319
00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:47,120
If I yeah, but one. 
Of my coworkers had it and he he

320
00:21:47,120 --> 00:21:48,280
enjoyed it. 
Yeah. 

321
00:21:48,360 --> 00:21:52,720
I don't know if he had the one 
where like the entire closed 

322
00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:55,760
part was a screen or if it was 
just like you close it and 

323
00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:57,280
there's just like a little 
screen there. 

324
00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:01,520
But yeah, now he he, he liked 
it. 

325
00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:03,520
He enjoyed it. 
Yeah, yeah. 

326
00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:08,800
And I and I like how you use 
this like, like have this like 

327
00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:11,400
up like that. 
You can like watch videos you're

328
00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:14,240
eating or something. 
But yeah, it was, it looked 

329
00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:16,280
really cool. 
It looked really cool. 

330
00:22:17,360 --> 00:22:23,120
Alright, so now DeMarcus, this 
is the time of the show where we

331
00:22:23,120 --> 00:22:29,000
are going to do our pick of the 
week or put you on segment. 

332
00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:35,600
This segment of course sponsored
by our good friends at Movie 

333
00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:39,920
Pass. 
Can you tell them loaded up 

334
00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:43,280
Movie Pass please? 
Yeah, so Movie Pass is a 

335
00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:47,880
subscription based service meant
to make movie going easier, more

336
00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:51,400
affordable, more accessible for 
like the regular Joe's, the 

337
00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:59,520
regular Jessie's and and you 
know, it's, it saves you money. 

338
00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:02,600
That's like the bottom line. 
It's saving you money on movies.

339
00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:05,280
So if you like to go to movies, 
if you, if you are one of those 

340
00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:08,520
kind of people like me, like you
spent your teens and early 20s 

341
00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:13,360
going to like a movie a week of 
like 3 movies a month type deal,

342
00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:16,680
then Movie Pass is for you. 
Because you know, if you're like

343
00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:19,120
me, at a certain point, movies 
got way too expensive to be 

344
00:23:19,120 --> 00:23:21,000
going all the time like that, 
especially if he was going on 

345
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:23,320
dates. 
Not I'm not spending. 

346
00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:26,280
I didn't, I didn't choose, I 
didn't choose the movies to 

347
00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:29,480
spend $80, you know, on 2 
tickets. 

348
00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:34,320
So MoviePass, you know, once you
buy your subscription, it gives 

349
00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:39,040
you a certain number of points 
per month and you can use those 

350
00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:44,040
points to buy movie tickets. 
And you know, if you're, if 

351
00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:47,720
you're paying for, you know, 
even the lowest tier, like $10, 

352
00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:50,520
you buy them one movie took it 
and the service is paid for 

353
00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:53,600
itself. 
You know, you're actually up $6,

354
00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:55,800
you know, something like that. 
You know, depending on where you

355
00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:57,880
go see the movie at this point, 
I see it, you might be up 10, 

356
00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:00,520
who knows? 
And you, you go see that. 

357
00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:02,840
You go see that second movie, 
you making your money back. 

358
00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:07,440
You know, I might go see some 
movies, see a movie or two this 

359
00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:10,920
week, this weekend. 
Yeah, what you going to say I? 

360
00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:14,680
Don't know man, I'm going to see
what movie pass got got up there

361
00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:19,200
because now I even use MoviePass
to see what movies are out that 

362
00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:23,240
I want to see like I like. 
I'll use Flixster sometimes but 

363
00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:26,560
mainly I just jumping movie 
passing get us popping that. 

364
00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:30,720
Movie Pass is the best thing you
can do right now. 

365
00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:33,800
Like it's because first of all, 
movies, it's the ultimate 

366
00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:36,440
escape. 
For adults, it's the ultimate 

367
00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:38,560
cheap escape. 
It's not even cheap no more. 

368
00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:44,400
So if you need that escape from 
work, from this world we live in

369
00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:48,440
with y'all's president, from 
seeing other people or being 

370
00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:50,880
around a whole bunch of people, 
you could go into the movie 

371
00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:56,280
theater and it's your own little
world and you're living a great 

372
00:24:56,280 --> 00:24:59,560
story on screen. 
Because that's how directors, 

373
00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:04,040
the directors don't make movies 
to watch at home. 

374
00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:06,360
They make them for the swing 
like undertone. 

375
00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:09,760
The audio was this happened on 
the other side, this happened on

376
00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:12,040
the right side because you know,
she had her earphones out the 

377
00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:15,880
whole time. 
So that experience was supposed 

378
00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:19,240
to be in Dolby Atmos in the 
movie theater. 

379
00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:25,720
So it's the ultimate escape. 
It's the ultimate thing to do, 

380
00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:28,560
and the Movie Pass is the best 
way to do it. 

381
00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:32,920
For $30.00 a month, you get you 
get a whole bunch of points and 

382
00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:37,280
you could bring somebody else in
for the whole month, $30. 

383
00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:39,760
Exactly. 
Yeah. 

384
00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:44,160
You could bring in two people. 
And if you just have one person,

385
00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:47,640
you could just do it yourself 
for $10. 

386
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:52,600
And the best part about Movie 
Pass is you get all these points

387
00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:57,120
because you buy them like, like 
you have the purchase ticket on 

388
00:25:57,320 --> 00:26:03,000
their website, so or the app. 
So you're still accumulating 

389
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:08,320
points in Fandango, in Regal, in
AMC. 

390
00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:13,960
So you get free popcorn, free 
free hot dogs, 'cause I went to 

391
00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:18,200
the movie theater, see 
Undertone, and I got free drink,

392
00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:23,320
free popcorn, free hot dog. 
Do you know how much that stuff 

393
00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:25,120
was if I didn't use those 
points? 

394
00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:28,960
She $30. 35 shut. 
The fuck up. 

395
00:26:29,360 --> 00:26:37,360
The medium popcorn itself was 9 
dollars, $9 for 99. 

396
00:26:37,360 --> 00:26:41,400
Not even fresh tea pops. 
She reached in the the little 

397
00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:47,160
popcorn thing and pulled me out 
of bag for nine American. 

398
00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:53,120
Black American dollars. 
Black African American dollars. 

399
00:26:53,120 --> 00:26:58,960
So yeah, that is the best thing 
we got going on right now for 

400
00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:02,200
convenience and to make the 
movies accessible again for 

401
00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:05,560
everybody. 
Go ahead, Sorry. 

402
00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:07,560
And and it's every movie 
theater. 

403
00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:10,920
It's not like ANC, which is ANC,
it's all of. 

404
00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:15,040
Yo, and I'll be trying to tell 
people this stuff, man. 

405
00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:16,440
And maybe and I'll be like, 
yeah, MoviePass. 

406
00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:19,360
Like unless you, you know, 
purchase movie tickets at 

407
00:27:19,360 --> 00:27:20,760
cheaper price. 
And they were like, oh, well, I 

408
00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:23,360
already got the AMC membership 
or I already got the Regal 

409
00:27:23,360 --> 00:27:25,680
member. 
I'm like, that limits you to 

410
00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:29,360
just the one movie theater as 
opposed to any movie theater in 

411
00:27:29,360 --> 00:27:31,520
the United States. 
Like when I go to home to 

412
00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:33,000
Atlanta, I can still use 
MoviePass. 

413
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:36,800
When I go to fucking California,
I can still use MoviePass. 

414
00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:39,400
When I'm in New Orleans, I can 
still use MoviePass. 

415
00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:44,680
Right. 
OK, fucking beat it. 

416
00:27:46,360 --> 00:27:48,520
Alright, so DeMarcus, where are 
you going for them on to this 

417
00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:51,600
week. 
I'm going to put you on to a 

418
00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:53,600
song, man. 
So when I went home when I was 

419
00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:55,640
in Atlanta, you know, it's a 
completely different music 

420
00:27:55,640 --> 00:27:58,760
scene. 
And out here in in California 

421
00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:02,840
and growing up, one of my 
favorite rappers and you know, 

422
00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:07,480
one of the most representative 
rappers of the Atlanta area, TI 

423
00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:11,960
with TI and you know, and all 
I'm going to say is the King is 

424
00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:15,120
back with with that song. 
Let him know. 

425
00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:19,480
And there's an album coming soon
because he also dropped a dish 

426
00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:21,960
check with $0.50. 
But let him know it's a song 

427
00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:26,200
we'll put y'all on to. 
So go ahead, you know, request 

428
00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:30,200
that from your radio stations, 
download it on your Spotify's on

429
00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:34,080
your Apple musics or whatever. 
TI let him know that shit slap 

430
00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:38,360
if you it. 
It really feels like old TI. 

431
00:28:39,440 --> 00:28:42,600
It really feels like a old TI. 
Like like like big things 

432
00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:46,640
popping area era, rubber band 
man era. 

433
00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:51,960
And this is the song that was 
the diss track to $0.50, right? 

434
00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:54,080
Not that one. 
That's not the district, no. 

435
00:28:55,960 --> 00:28:59,920
You know that the whole family 
has made diss tracks and I'll 

436
00:28:59,920 --> 00:29:04,160
fix to another podcast and they 
say that the short light skinned

437
00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:05,400
guy with. 
The hair. 

438
00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:09,560
The money hair. 
You know, I think. 

439
00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:10,880
I think you're talking about 
money. 

440
00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:15,520
OK well I don't know, he made a 
diss track and they said that 

441
00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:20,400
his is the best 'cause even the 
little girl who's who gets 

442
00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:24,160
saying lessons cause saying 
really good has made a diss 

443
00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:26,840
track. 
But yeah they all have done it. 

444
00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:31,400
Even the one that does like 
country or RV with the guitar he

445
00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:35,080
made one thing so. 
Yeah, no, that's what's up. 

446
00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:38,400
IA family that dishes together 
stays together. 

447
00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:43,000
I fuck with it, right? 
Yeah, that is an unfortunate 

448
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:46,440
situation. 
I'm of course with $0.50 who 

449
00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:49,960
thinks everything is funny. 
Hey, yo, $0.50 and you know and 

450
00:29:49,960 --> 00:29:52,960
I hate they doing it with $0.50 
with 50 because 50 gonna take it

451
00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:55,200
there. 
He gonna take it all the way 

452
00:29:55,200 --> 00:30:00,200
there and you know, and I don't 
want to see I don't. 

453
00:30:01,560 --> 00:30:04,160
He stops, and they're still 
going. 

454
00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:06,480
Yeah, they're still. 
Going they were his. 

455
00:30:06,520 --> 00:30:07,800
Family. 
It's still going. 

456
00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:13,960
So they won. 
OK, I want to talk about this 

457
00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:17,920
new comic book I read, called 
and killed everyone but me. 

458
00:30:17,920 --> 00:30:25,080
It is about this girl who 
survives the final girl. 

459
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:30,680
She survives everybody being 
killed in her cabin. 

460
00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:35,160
Weekend getaway. 
It turns out what killed him was

461
00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:40,360
a demon Now this thing I'm not 
going to spoil it. 

462
00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:44,080
I just want to say that this was
very extremely, incredibly 

463
00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:47,920
cinematic. 
Like this was a comic book that 

464
00:30:47,920 --> 00:30:51,560
I could see as a television 
show. 

465
00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:57,640
And it and it just it it flowed 
so well. 

466
00:30:57,680 --> 00:31:02,680
And like even after the story 
ended, I could see episodic 

467
00:31:02,800 --> 00:31:08,560
things that continuing on with 
it and weekly TV monster of the 

468
00:31:08,560 --> 00:31:13,320
week things as they go around. 
But yeah, it killed everyone but

469
00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:18,640
me as gory. 
It got demons, it got a mystery 

470
00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:23,000
in it, and it even has some 
other stuff. 

471
00:31:23,320 --> 00:31:28,440
It even has chase sequences 
where everybody, you, you, you 

472
00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:31,320
know, everybody gonna die. 
So yeah, it was very good and I 

473
00:31:31,320 --> 00:31:33,720
would love to see this as ATV 
show so. 

474
00:31:34,520 --> 00:31:37,240
We it killed it killed everyone 
but me. 

475
00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:41,200
Nice. 
OK, it's good. 

476
00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:44,480
It was good. 
Alright then Mike is do we have 

477
00:31:44,760 --> 00:31:48,040
an activity for the week? 
Absolutely. 

478
00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:52,120
We always have an activity in 
today's activity, like all 

479
00:31:52,120 --> 00:31:54,480
activities. 
If you are just now joining us 

480
00:31:54,480 --> 00:31:58,000
on Black Ikana, you should 
already you, you, you, you slow.

481
00:31:58,440 --> 00:32:00,840
But if you've been here, you 
already know that DeMarcus is 

482
00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:09,600
the creator, the actioner, the, 
you know, the game master of all

483
00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:11,600
games and activities, Black 
Energy. 

484
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:13,800
He is the judge during an 
executioner. 

485
00:32:13,800 --> 00:32:15,680
He creates the questions, the 
answers. 

486
00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:18,400
He determines the losers, the 
winners, the right answers and 

487
00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:22,320
the wrong answers. 
And today's game, I'm going to 

488
00:32:22,320 --> 00:32:26,800
call it for the plot and what 
you're going to be doing, Jared,

489
00:32:27,120 --> 00:32:35,960
I am going to read you a a bad, 
hopefully hilarious summary of 

490
00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:39,240
the plot in of a video game. 
And you will then have to guess 

491
00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:42,000
which video game I am talking 
about. 

492
00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:44,280
OK, does. 
That make sense? 

493
00:32:44,560 --> 00:32:45,800
Yeah. 
All right. 

494
00:32:46,080 --> 00:32:50,120
They're going to be 10 now. 
Have I played these games? 

495
00:32:51,040 --> 00:32:54,160
I believe you have played most, 
if not all of these games. 

496
00:32:54,560 --> 00:32:56,400
OK. 
Yeah. 

497
00:32:56,600 --> 00:32:58,720
And, and if you haven't played 
them, you've at least heard of 

498
00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:00,840
them. 
But I believe you've played all 

499
00:33:00,840 --> 00:33:03,040
of these. 
OK, cool. 

500
00:33:03,040 --> 00:33:06,760
Well, let's let's get into it. 
Oh, I'm going to tell you what 

501
00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:08,600
I'm playing right now. 
Oh, I can't wait. 

502
00:33:08,680 --> 00:33:11,480
OK, let's go ahead. 
So there are 10 questions, 

503
00:33:11,480 --> 00:33:14,000
you're going to need 7 to win. 
Each question is worth one 

504
00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:15,920
point. 
I do have a bonus question if 

505
00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:21,160
you would like it at the end. 
OK alright number one. 

506
00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:25,600
An unemployed plumber commits 
multiple acts of reptile 

507
00:33:25,600 --> 00:33:27,840
violence while chasing the 
Princess who keeps getting 

508
00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:30,880
relocated by the the same 
kidnapper. 

509
00:33:32,040 --> 00:33:34,840
Mario. 
Absolutely, that is correct. 

510
00:33:34,840 --> 00:33:39,120
See Easy Peasy Mario Super. 
Mario. 

511
00:33:40,680 --> 00:33:43,720
Brothers. 
What's with Mario Brothers the 

512
00:33:43,720 --> 00:33:47,960
first video game? 
I think so because Luigi was in 

513
00:33:47,960 --> 00:33:52,040
it too. 
I think Tetris or Palm was like 

514
00:33:52,040 --> 00:33:55,320
the first video game. 
I mean, but you said the first 

515
00:33:58,600 --> 00:34:01,720
Mario video game. 
Oh, oh, yeah. 

516
00:34:01,720 --> 00:34:03,240
The first Mario video game? 
Sure. 

517
00:34:03,240 --> 00:34:06,440
Yeah, yeah, but Mario is good 
enough. 

518
00:34:06,880 --> 00:34:09,560
All right #2I. 
Think it was Galactica was the 

519
00:34:09,560 --> 00:34:12,480
first video game. 
You think so? 

520
00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:16,760
I think that's a little complex.
I think it was Pong, or I think 

521
00:34:16,760 --> 00:34:19,400
it was Pong the one where you 
just knocked the ball back and 

522
00:34:19,400 --> 00:34:22,920
forth. 
Yeah, the first game was Tennis 

523
00:34:22,920 --> 00:34:26,600
for Two in 1958. 
Yeah, well, you just knocked the

524
00:34:26,600 --> 00:34:28,760
ball back and forth. 
It wasn't called Pong I guess. 

525
00:34:29,040 --> 00:34:38,800
No Pong came out in 1972. 
OK, all right, interesting #2A 

526
00:34:38,800 --> 00:34:43,040
small child abandoned school and
animal welfare laws to travel 

527
00:34:43,040 --> 00:34:45,920
the world, forcing wild 
creatures into combat for prize 

528
00:34:45,920 --> 00:34:53,920
money. 
For prize money he abandoned 

529
00:34:53,920 --> 00:34:58,240
schools and and does what? 
Abandoned a small child, 

530
00:34:58,240 --> 00:35:01,760
abandoned school and animal 
welfare laws to travel the 

531
00:35:01,760 --> 00:35:05,920
world, forcing wild creatures 
into combat for prize money. 

532
00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:10,920
I'm guessing Pokémon. 
That is correct. 

533
00:35:10,920 --> 00:35:17,320
It is called Pokémon, yeah. 
That was this is like a bad a 

534
00:35:17,320 --> 00:35:22,480
bad thing, but they the parents 
let him so and he was just 8 or 

535
00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:24,800
it was. 
Like it's like, yo, you finished

536
00:35:24,800 --> 00:35:26,560
with elementary school. 
You can either go become a 

537
00:35:26,560 --> 00:35:29,160
Pokémon trainer or keep going or
go to middle school. 

538
00:35:29,720 --> 00:35:35,440
And I think most, I think most 
kids at like 10:00, 11-12 years 

539
00:35:35,440 --> 00:35:38,080
old when you're going to middle 
school, you would be like, no, I

540
00:35:38,080 --> 00:35:40,920
would rather go train Pokémon 
than go to school. 

541
00:35:41,160 --> 00:35:42,800
I mean, that's what most kids 
did. 

542
00:35:42,800 --> 00:35:46,240
You saw those kids right around.
And then, but then you also had 

543
00:35:46,240 --> 00:35:47,960
adults doing it, adults who like
finished high school and they 

544
00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:49,960
was like, all right now would be
a Pokémon trainer. 

545
00:35:50,880 --> 00:35:52,600
Yeah. 
OK. 

546
00:35:52,760 --> 00:35:55,800
And there has to be some kind of
like, because they don't know 

547
00:35:55,800 --> 00:35:58,520
how to pay taxes, they don't 
know how to vote. 

548
00:35:59,720 --> 00:36:02,080
I mean, you don't learn these 
things at school anyway, but 

549
00:36:03,680 --> 00:36:05,640
the. 
Thing is, oh, have you heard 

550
00:36:05,640 --> 00:36:10,640
about the latest Pokémon game? 
It's the highest rated Pokémon 

551
00:36:10,640 --> 00:36:14,000
game of all time. 
It's about this Ditto. 

552
00:36:14,480 --> 00:36:20,440
Who Pokopia I have heard of. 
It yeah, it's yeah, it's 

553
00:36:20,440 --> 00:36:23,240
childish, like Animal Crossing, 
but it's. 

554
00:36:23,320 --> 00:36:26,080
Animal Crossing, but Pokémon. 
Yeah, it's about Animal Crossing

555
00:36:26,080 --> 00:36:31,360
and Pokémon, but the story is 
about all the humans are gone 

556
00:36:32,240 --> 00:36:35,280
and the ghettos trying to find 
out what happened to the humans.

557
00:36:35,280 --> 00:36:40,960
So it's like an apocalyptic 
Animal Crossing Pokémon game. 

558
00:36:41,440 --> 00:36:43,680
Yeah, I didn't know. 
I didn't know all the humans 

559
00:36:43,680 --> 00:36:46,520
were gone. 
And isn't that, I mean, isn't 

560
00:36:46,520 --> 00:36:50,360
that one already out? 
Like the newest Pokémon game is 

561
00:36:50,360 --> 00:36:53,120
like a it's like a, you know, 
it's like a regular Pokémon 

562
00:36:53,120 --> 00:36:55,440
game, like, like a new, a new 
world with new. 

563
00:36:56,280 --> 00:36:58,520
Yeah. 
New starters and new Pokémon and

564
00:36:58,520 --> 00:37:00,080
stuff. 
But it's not people aren't 

565
00:37:00,200 --> 00:37:02,840
aren't into it so they're re 
releasing fire red and leaf 

566
00:37:02,840 --> 00:37:05,240
green. 
Well, they always re release 

567
00:37:05,240 --> 00:37:08,280
fire red and leaf green, but 
they just came out with that 

568
00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:11,440
wave and wind. 
I think that's the next one. 

569
00:37:11,560 --> 00:37:18,600
Like yeah, that's one. 
But Copia is the the latest 

570
00:37:18,600 --> 00:37:20,080
thing. 
Everybody, everybody talk about 

571
00:37:20,080 --> 00:37:23,000
it on the podcast and the 
Youtubes. 

572
00:37:23,600 --> 00:37:25,920
I might, I might redownload my 
fire red. 

573
00:37:25,920 --> 00:37:31,720
I was like yellow. 
I loved yellow. 

574
00:37:31,720 --> 00:37:36,680
That was my first Pokémon game. 
And I saw this I saw this IG 

575
00:37:36,680 --> 00:37:39,600
reel where they were like, what 
was your first Pokémon game? 

576
00:37:39,600 --> 00:37:43,200
And whenever somebody said 
anything like Crystal, the 

577
00:37:43,200 --> 00:37:46,400
before they started playing like
the Jurassic Park shit, it made 

578
00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:51,160
it look like hello. 
And you know, you know, 'cause I

579
00:37:51,160 --> 00:37:54,280
was playing Pokémon Yellow on 
like Game Boy, not even Game Boy

580
00:37:54,280 --> 00:37:57,160
Color. 
Right, right. 

581
00:37:57,160 --> 00:38:00,920
And I had the Game Boy where the
whole screen could go another 

582
00:38:00,920 --> 00:38:02,480
color. 
So I was playing yellow with the

583
00:38:02,760 --> 00:38:05,640
pink background. 
All right, purple background. 

584
00:38:06,120 --> 00:38:08,960
So the sepia tone shit sepia. 
Tone, Yeah. 

585
00:38:09,480 --> 00:38:11,160
Yeah, yeah. 
All right. 

586
00:38:11,160 --> 00:38:15,480
Number 3A bald man solves his 
midlife's crisis by tattooing 

587
00:38:15,480 --> 00:38:18,280
himself and yelling at his son 
while killing gods. 

588
00:38:19,280 --> 00:38:24,280
I got a four. 
The the God sold it right at 

589
00:38:24,280 --> 00:38:25,560
first you were like what the 
fuck is this? 

590
00:38:25,560 --> 00:38:27,440
I was. 
Like tattooed man. 

591
00:38:27,720 --> 00:38:30,480
No, I think that when you said 
yelling at his son. 

592
00:38:30,920 --> 00:38:36,320
Yelling at his son gave it away.
Boy his son ever get no his 

593
00:38:36,320 --> 00:38:38,960
son's name was a traitus OK his 
son did him a name.

OK, Boo.

the trailer where it's like the 

603
00:39:15,600 --> 00:39:19,520
the first ever victory of God of
of Kratos and he's like a child.

604
00:39:19,800 --> 00:39:22,720
Oh yeah, I think I did see that

608
00:39:31,200 --> 00:39:35,760
original voice, which is Carl 
Barker from Living Single 

609
00:39:35,920 --> 00:39:39,960
Carson.

00:39:39,960 --> 00:39:40,960
Kratos.

Absolutely nothing. 

614
00:40:00,200 --> 00:40:05,640
OK, a space soldier. 
So really I'm thinking Halo. 

615
00:40:05,640 --> 00:40:08,560
I haven't played Halo yet, or 
Mass Effect. 

616
00:40:08,720 --> 00:40:10,840
I know that we love like Mass 
Effect. 

617
00:40:11,960 --> 00:40:15,720
I can't think of any other space
soldier games that I have played

618
00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:18,840
so because should be absolutely 
nothing. 

619
00:40:20,960 --> 00:40:23,720
The people on the Mass Effect 
ship contributed. 

620
00:40:23,720 --> 00:40:26,640
So I'm going to say, is it Halo?
It is. 

621
00:40:26,800 --> 00:40:28,160
That is correct. 
It is Halo alright. 

622
00:40:30,640 --> 00:40:32,680
So they didn't do nothing. 
I. 

623
00:40:32,680 --> 00:40:37,760
Mean like with in Halo when I 
played it, like a lot of times 

624
00:40:38,320 --> 00:40:40,760
like you, the people like you, 
if you're playing by yourself, 

625
00:40:41,200 --> 00:40:43,640
if you're playing solo mode, the
poop, that's what you ain't 

626
00:40:43,640 --> 00:40:46,840
really doing shit. 
It's like like the stormtroopers

627
00:40:46,840 --> 00:40:52,600
helping you out. 
Like they there maybe they, but 

628
00:40:52,600 --> 00:40:55,200
they're taking hits. 
They're like some of the bullets

629
00:40:55,200 --> 00:40:57,760
meant for you are hitting them, 
so they are helping. 

630
00:40:58,120 --> 00:41:02,840
I remember Halo one or two was 
my first ever experience with a 

631
00:41:02,840 --> 00:41:08,760
video game being in 4K. 
Yeah, I I saw it at Strawberry 

632
00:41:08,760 --> 00:41:11,480
Banks. 
I was in somebody else's room. 

633
00:41:11,840 --> 00:41:16,120
Somebody else? 
'S and I, I didn't play it, but 

634
00:41:16,120 --> 00:41:20,120
I saw I was like oh wow, this is
the future, but. 

635
00:41:20,160 --> 00:41:23,120
Yeah, I remember. 
I remember when. 

636
00:41:23,120 --> 00:41:28,120
When I remember when we were, we
were still at Hampton and Cam 

637
00:41:28,120 --> 00:41:30,800
had us all over for dinner One 
time we were watching Iron Man 

638
00:41:30,880 --> 00:41:34,000
on his, and he had got that new 
TV and you could see like his, 

639
00:41:34,040 --> 00:41:36,880
the pores and the sweat on the 
character. 

640
00:41:36,880 --> 00:41:39,240
I was like, yo, this is a 
completely different experience.

641
00:41:39,400 --> 00:41:40,840
Yeah, I was like, this is 
actually making me 

642
00:41:40,840 --> 00:41:45,840
uncomfortable. 
I'm too close to his. 

643
00:41:46,720 --> 00:41:51,560
All right #5-A man wakes up in a
strange land and immediately 

644
00:41:51,560 --> 00:41:54,160
starts breaking pots, robbing 
strangers and the salt and 

645
00:41:54,160 --> 00:41:58,000
wildlife. 
Zelda. 

646
00:41:58,480 --> 00:42:01,920
That is correct. 
It is Zelda doing a great job, 

647
00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:07,480
Jerry. 
Yeah, I have you played or or or

648
00:42:07,800 --> 00:42:11,200
or Carina of time? 
OK. 

649
00:42:11,720 --> 00:42:18,520
Have you played Majora's Mask? 
Like only like the smallest bit 

650
00:42:18,520 --> 00:42:19,960
of Majora's Mask. 
Me too. 

651
00:42:20,280 --> 00:42:25,800
Me too, I tried to play it like 
later on The Rhyme of it on my 

652
00:42:26,400 --> 00:42:28,680
computer. 
I didn't really like it as much 

653
00:42:28,880 --> 00:42:30,400
but I did want to play Orcan 
but. 

654
00:42:31,080 --> 00:42:33,720
But apparently, like Majora's 
Mask was like a hit when it came

655
00:42:34,880 --> 00:42:38,480
like, and I wanted to play it so
bad and I was like, but I 

656
00:42:38,480 --> 00:42:39,560
couldn't. 
But I couldn't get it. 

657
00:42:39,560 --> 00:42:42,200
I was, I think I already have, 
like other games. 

658
00:42:43,040 --> 00:42:45,600
Oh, alright, and how are you 
doing on Breath of Breath of the

659
00:42:45,600 --> 00:42:46,960
Wild? 
I'm. 

660
00:42:47,080 --> 00:42:51,880
Doing pretty good last time I 
played it like I made it to. 

661
00:42:53,160 --> 00:42:56,920
I'm at the part now where it's 
like I have to, I got it's like 

662
00:42:56,920 --> 00:43:00,280
2 paths. 
Either I like go to these 

663
00:43:00,280 --> 00:43:04,800
different villages and like 
collect memories, or I do this 

664
00:43:04,800 --> 00:43:07,920
other thing and I can't quite 
remember what the other thing is

665
00:43:07,920 --> 00:43:09,920
right now. 
Have you have you gotten the 

666
00:43:09,920 --> 00:43:16,320
cards cards that are they you 
know, they have this little 

667
00:43:16,760 --> 00:43:19,840
figurines, Nintendo, you could 
like plop the figurine on the 

668
00:43:19,840 --> 00:43:24,080
thing and like stuff comes up. 
So then the hackers make cards 

669
00:43:24,080 --> 00:43:30,520
of these figurines, the RFC code
and you can like put them on the

670
00:43:30,520 --> 00:43:33,760
thing and it like reads it and 
pops the thing out. 

671
00:43:34,160 --> 00:43:36,200
Now they have this little 
machine or you could do like 

672
00:43:36,200 --> 00:43:40,520
thousands of them, but I would 
suggest getting those that they 

673
00:43:40,520 --> 00:43:44,760
make your experience more fun 
and they're like $10. 

674
00:43:47,240 --> 00:43:49,240
Yeah, I'll, I'll look into it. 
I don't I don't, I don't not 

675
00:43:49,240 --> 00:43:52,320
sure what you mean by the cards,
but I'll look into it. 

676
00:43:53,120 --> 00:43:55,200
You know, I'm a I'm a purist 
like the first time I play 

677
00:43:55,200 --> 00:43:56,600
through a game. 
I don't like to use any cheat 

678
00:43:56,600 --> 00:43:59,800
codes, any like modifications. 
Just play the game as it comes, 

679
00:43:59,800 --> 00:44:01,360
I mean. 
It's not a cheat code because 

680
00:44:01,360 --> 00:44:05,320
Nintendo, you know, the Nintendo
makes these things like the 

681
00:44:05,320 --> 00:44:09,720
little figurines that Nintendo 
has, the little Nintendo Memoji 

682
00:44:09,720 --> 00:44:12,720
or whatever. 
Yeah, and you pop the thing on 

683
00:44:12,720 --> 00:44:15,200
it and you can. 
Onto your switch. 

684
00:44:15,360 --> 00:44:19,840
Yeah, onto your switch and it 
would like plop stuffy in the. 

685
00:44:21,600 --> 00:44:22,560
In the world. 
World. 

686
00:44:22,600 --> 00:44:24,480
Yeah, All right. 
Sounds right. 

687
00:44:24,520 --> 00:44:28,080
Necessarily a cheat but I I 
cheat the first time through. 

688
00:44:28,080 --> 00:44:30,720
I'm on the cheat on. 
DLC playing right now, Let's 

689
00:44:30,720 --> 00:44:31,440
call it. 
Let's call it. 

690
00:44:31,440 --> 00:44:38,760
We'll call it DLC. 
All right, number six, a 

691
00:44:38,760 --> 00:44:42,200
criminal steal cars, commits 
dozens of felonies, and still 

692
00:44:42,200 --> 00:44:44,360
somehow finds time for yoga and 
golf A. 

693
00:44:48,680 --> 00:44:52,000
Criminal steal cars? 
I'm thinking a Grand Theft Auto.

694
00:44:52,520 --> 00:44:54,960
That is correct. 
It is Grand Theft Auto. 

695
00:44:54,960 --> 00:45:00,520
OK, All right, rounding now. 
You got 6 correct. 

696
00:45:00,600 --> 00:45:02,440
We're moving on to the final 
four. 

697
00:45:02,680 --> 00:45:06,440
You're crushing this game here. 
I'm so excited for November. 

698
00:45:06,440 --> 00:45:08,320
We're going to get a lot of 
grand. 

699
00:45:09,160 --> 00:45:13,800
Theft Auto 6 comes out final. 
Yeah, after 10 years, it's been 

700
00:45:13,880 --> 00:45:15,960
over a decade. 
Really. 

701
00:45:16,360 --> 00:45:20,760
Yeah, Grand Theft Auto 5 came 
out first on the PS4. 

702
00:45:21,000 --> 00:45:21,880
PS Three. 
Damn. 

703
00:45:23,120 --> 00:45:28,320
Yeah, all right. 
Number 7A depressed warrior 

704
00:45:28,520 --> 00:45:31,840
repeatedly dies, resurrects and 
gets insulted by strangers by 

705
00:45:31,840 --> 00:45:34,240
fighting things far stronger 
than himself. 

706
00:45:36,920 --> 00:45:43,160
Insulted by strangers, dies and 
gets resurrected. 

707
00:45:43,160 --> 00:45:53,440
I'm thinking Hades. 
Maybe it's Elder Rain, maybe 

708
00:45:53,440 --> 00:45:58,720
it's the other fun soft game. 
Something about Bunstall from 

709
00:45:58,720 --> 00:46:00,360
South. 
Oh, from South. 

710
00:46:00,560 --> 00:46:03,400
OK, Yeah. 
Something about blood or 

711
00:46:03,640 --> 00:46:07,600
something. 
What's your final answer? 

712
00:46:09,120 --> 00:46:15,440
I don't know. 
Yeah, I'm gonna, I'm gonna say, 

713
00:46:16,800 --> 00:46:19,560
I'm gonna say Bloodborne. 
Bloodborne. 

714
00:46:19,920 --> 00:46:24,000
Yeah. 
OK, that is not correct Jerry. 

715
00:46:24,360 --> 00:46:26,880
It was Dark Souls dark. 
Souls. 

716
00:46:27,640 --> 00:46:29,320
Well, it's made by the same 
people. 

717
00:46:29,760 --> 00:46:33,440
Yeah, I mean close. 
Both from Software gangs. 

718
00:46:34,480 --> 00:46:40,000
OK, all right #8 A pizza 
enthusiast saves the world by 

719
00:46:40,000 --> 00:46:42,680
beating up demons while 
listening to heavy metal. 

720
00:46:46,760 --> 00:46:55,800
A pizza enthusiast. 
You say peace, I'm thinking 

721
00:46:55,800 --> 00:47:00,160
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 
after so I have no idea what 

722
00:47:00,160 --> 00:47:06,240
this one could be. 
Saves the world. 

723
00:47:07,440 --> 00:47:14,640
Saves the world. 
Earthworm Jim. 

724
00:47:15,280 --> 00:47:18,120
Wow, is Earthworm Jim a pizza 
enthusiast? 

725
00:47:18,920 --> 00:47:22,320
Probably Chow. 
OK, that is incorrect. 

726
00:47:22,320 --> 00:47:26,560
It was Devil May Cry and I, I, 
you know, I feel, I hear that 

727
00:47:26,560 --> 00:47:28,400
the, the pizza enthusiasts part 
threw you off. 

728
00:47:28,400 --> 00:47:31,720
I feel like that is a piece of 
his character that was lost in 

729
00:47:31,960 --> 00:47:33,320
the game. 
And I did. 

730
00:47:33,400 --> 00:47:35,640
I've never played a deep Devil 
May Cry game. 

731
00:47:35,680 --> 00:47:38,800
I just watched the anime so. 
Fair enough, fair enough, All 

732
00:47:38,800 --> 00:47:42,200
right #9 Jerry rounded it out. 
Here. 

733
00:47:43,200 --> 00:47:47,280
A group of teenagers saves the 
world using the power of 

734
00:47:47,280 --> 00:47:50,240
friendship and questionable 
fashion choices. 

735
00:47:51,640 --> 00:47:58,560
A group of teenagers. 
Friendship and questionable 

736
00:47:58,560 --> 00:48:03,360
fashion choices. 
I'm thinking Final Fantasy 15 

737
00:48:03,360 --> 00:48:14,960
with them in the car. 
A group of teenagers only play, 

738
00:48:16,920 --> 00:48:23,040
but there are many games save 
the world by friendship and 

739
00:48:23,040 --> 00:48:25,920
questionable fashion choices. 
Maybe Persona. 

740
00:48:25,920 --> 00:48:29,040
I'm gonna play Persona. 
I'm gonna say Final Fantasy 15. 

741
00:48:31,160 --> 00:48:34,040
You gonna say what now? 
Final Fantasy 15. 

742
00:48:34,600 --> 00:48:39,720
OK, Jared, that is technically 
incorrect, but I'm gonna give it

743
00:48:39,720 --> 00:48:41,520
to you 'cause it's Final Fantasy
7. 

744
00:48:42,200 --> 00:48:47,720
OK, OK, questionable fashion 
choices. 

745
00:48:50,480 --> 00:48:54,880
I think that's accurate. 
No, but then again, this was in 

746
00:48:54,880 --> 00:48:59,120
the late 90s, so now and. 
They were questionable then. 

747
00:48:59,760 --> 00:49:02,000
What made them questionable? 
Like he. 

748
00:49:02,400 --> 00:49:05,120
Wearing that shit in real life 
and then God damn Tina got on a 

749
00:49:05,120 --> 00:49:08,360
mini skirt in in the in the in 
the freezing cold. 

750
00:49:10,600 --> 00:49:14,720
Child, please, all these 
barbarian women wear stray 

751
00:49:14,720 --> 00:49:18,200
bikinis for armor, so don't even
go there. 

752
00:49:18,200 --> 00:49:20,680
He wasn't. 
That is also a questionable 

753
00:49:20,680 --> 00:49:22,680
fashion choice, and she wasn't a
barbarian. 

754
00:49:23,720 --> 00:49:28,680
But OK, and then Cloud was a 
military person and I would wear

755
00:49:28,680 --> 00:49:32,400
several outfit like what do? 
You think you would? 

756
00:49:32,680 --> 00:49:34,640
OK. 
So is that questionable all? 

757
00:49:38,160 --> 00:49:41,520
Right #10 just. 
Because you like to address your

758
00:49:41,520 --> 00:49:45,280
opinion with yours, Fashion 
census do. 

759
00:49:45,320 --> 00:49:48,480
I dress European. 
I mean, you wouldn't dress like 

760
00:49:48,480 --> 00:49:51,840
me. 
You won't give me the links. 

761
00:49:54,280 --> 00:49:56,640
Well, I can give you the links. 
You'd be gatekeeper. 

762
00:49:57,080 --> 00:50:02,920
No 'cause it's not a link what 
have buy stuff off the rack 

763
00:50:02,920 --> 00:50:06,920
nowadays, but I used to get my 
stuff made by people. 

764
00:50:07,960 --> 00:50:11,680
It's like Etsy. 
No, like call them up. 

765
00:50:11,680 --> 00:50:14,600
I see their stuff on Instagram 
and I will call them and say hey

766
00:50:14,600 --> 00:50:17,560
make me something. 
OK cool. 

767
00:50:18,000 --> 00:50:22,320
Alright, last one here. 
A man spends 200 hours fighting 

768
00:50:22,320 --> 00:50:25,000
monsters, crafting armor, and 
still somehow looks like he 

769
00:50:25,000 --> 00:50:33,080
dressed himself in the dark. 200
hours, that's very specific. 

770
00:50:34,600 --> 00:50:35,880
Now, I wouldn't. 
I wouldn't. 

771
00:50:36,480 --> 00:50:41,000
I wouldn't allow that number to 
be so specific in your mind why 

772
00:50:41,000 --> 00:50:43,960
you're thinking of this. 
Try trying to think of this game

773
00:50:44,400 --> 00:50:47,840
just. 
The second part of it is he 

774
00:50:47,840 --> 00:50:52,960
dressed himself in the dark. 
He still looks like he dressed 

775
00:50:52,960 --> 00:50:58,680
himself in the dark. 
This is a a horror game. 

776
00:51:03,560 --> 00:51:06,120
OK, guess you can't ask ask 
questions. 

777
00:51:07,760 --> 00:51:10,640
He looks like he dresses himself
in the dark. 

778
00:51:13,160 --> 00:51:27,080
I have no idea. 
I I I I'm really drawing a 

779
00:51:27,280 --> 00:51:29,640
blank. 
I would say Kirby. 

780
00:51:32,000 --> 00:51:37,280
OK, the Kirby is really close. 
This one is actually Monster 

781
00:51:37,280 --> 00:51:43,920
Hunter World. 
What's That's no cause. 

782
00:51:44,400 --> 00:51:49,280
Can't you make the character? 
Yeah, but like, it's still one 

783
00:51:49,280 --> 00:51:53,840
of those games were like, you 
can't choose how the stuff 

784
00:51:53,840 --> 00:51:55,320
looks. 
You can just like craft it. 

785
00:51:57,280 --> 00:52:02,560
DeMarcus, all the outfits in 
that game are customizable to 

786
00:52:03,120 --> 00:52:08,720
how you want it to look. 
You can literally buy this out 

787
00:52:08,720 --> 00:52:12,160
that you want. 
DeMarcus, That, that that would,

788
00:52:12,240 --> 00:52:13,680
yeah. 
But when you make, but when you 

789
00:52:13,680 --> 00:52:16,800
make, you know, plate armor 
number one, it always looks like

790
00:52:16,800 --> 00:52:19,280
plate armor number one, but. 
You can color like. 

791
00:52:19,280 --> 00:52:21,480
Maybe you can, maybe you can 
change the color, but it still 

792
00:52:21,480 --> 00:52:27,120
looks like plate armor #1 
DeMarcus, anyway, you. 

793
00:52:27,120 --> 00:52:30,400
Made it seem like this was not a
game where you could create your

794
00:52:30,440 --> 00:52:36,840
own character. 
Well, Jerry, you still got 7, 

795
00:52:36,840 --> 00:52:37,960
right? 
Exactly. 

796
00:52:38,160 --> 00:52:43,280
You still won this game, man. 
You did a great job and you were

797
00:52:43,280 --> 00:52:46,680
killing it for the first six. 
It was, I think Dark Souls threw

798
00:52:46,680 --> 00:52:48,880
you off and it kind of shook 
your confidence, no? 

799
00:52:49,720 --> 00:52:54,000
Nothing shook my confidence 
because I know what these games 

800
00:52:54,040 --> 00:52:56,560
are meant to do, so nothing 
strikes my confidence anymore. 

801
00:52:56,600 --> 00:53:01,320
But yeah, anyways, on today's 
episode we didn't talk about 

802
00:53:01,320 --> 00:53:06,760
video games and some of the did 
I say Hampton? 

803
00:53:07,680 --> 00:53:12,280
No, this says champion. 
I hate when people wear those 

804
00:53:12,280 --> 00:53:14,920
champion sweatshirts. 
I'm like, oh, does that say 

805
00:53:14,920 --> 00:53:16,440
Hampton? 
And it's never Hampton. 

806
00:53:16,440 --> 00:53:19,160
It's champion. 
Yeah, this is actually one of my

807
00:53:19,160 --> 00:53:24,000
favorite reunion shirts. 
We're going to talk about video 

808
00:53:24,000 --> 00:53:28,760
games and the easy mold 
controversy and if there should 

809
00:53:28,760 --> 00:53:33,520
be easy mold and if people 
should just get good as they 

810
00:53:33,520 --> 00:53:37,840
say. 
But DeMarcus, what games are you

811
00:53:37,840 --> 00:53:44,200
currently playing now? 
Right now I'm playing what we'd 

812
00:53:44,200 --> 00:53:46,760
like to talk about earlier, 
Legend of Zelda Breath of the 

813
00:53:46,760 --> 00:53:51,640
Wild. 
I'm playing Ark the Lad. 

814
00:53:51,640 --> 00:53:52,920
I play a little bit of that here
and there. 

815
00:53:53,440 --> 00:53:58,840
I'm also playing Spider Man. 
There's one more and I can't it 

816
00:53:58,880 --> 00:54:00,560
can't remember it off the top of
my head. 

817
00:54:00,560 --> 00:54:05,520
Let me see if I can pull it up. 
It'll be in my like PlayStation.

818
00:54:07,320 --> 00:54:11,840
That I still can't see. 
By the way, I'll. 

819
00:54:11,920 --> 00:54:14,040
I'll change it to public. 
I'll change it to public after 

820
00:54:14,040 --> 00:54:16,760
we get off the thing you. 
Have said that for how many 

821
00:54:16,800 --> 00:54:19,480
years? 
Well, no, no, no, because I'll 

822
00:54:19,480 --> 00:54:21,400
say it and then you'll do 
something, piss me off and I'm 

823
00:54:21,400 --> 00:54:24,960
like, I'm not doing it no more. 
But the mic is you. 

824
00:54:25,160 --> 00:54:26,400
Still you. 
Know this to be true. 

825
00:54:26,520 --> 00:54:29,840
No, no, no, the mic is you still
say it. 

826
00:54:31,560 --> 00:54:33,680
Why is the PlayStation website 
so slow? 

827
00:54:36,120 --> 00:54:38,200
Like I feel like they should do 
better than this. 

828
00:54:40,760 --> 00:54:42,760
This is really disappointing. 
But. 

829
00:54:43,600 --> 00:54:46,120
Anyway, yeah, while that's still
say those, let's let's go with 

830
00:54:46,120 --> 00:54:48,800
those games for now. 
Let's go with those games for 

831
00:54:48,800 --> 00:54:53,840
now while I do the rest of this.
OK, what games are you? 

832
00:54:53,840 --> 00:54:56,920
Playing right now, Jerry. 
Thank you for asking, DeMarcus. 

833
00:54:57,440 --> 00:55:01,480
I am playing. 
You're breaking up. 

834
00:55:01,480 --> 00:55:03,520
You're breaking up. 
Oops, you're breaking up. 

835
00:55:06,680 --> 00:55:11,360
Can you hear me now, DeMarcus 
say. 

836
00:55:11,360 --> 00:55:13,960
Someone else? 
Testing, testing. 

837
00:55:13,960 --> 00:55:22,520
All right, OK, So what I am 
playing now is this game called 

838
00:55:22,640 --> 00:55:29,680
Dragon Quest 32HD or HD2. 
Anyway, it's the remake of 

839
00:55:29,680 --> 00:55:35,480
Dragon Quest 3. 
Yeah and they got a whole bunch 

840
00:55:35,480 --> 00:55:37,520
of stuff in the Dragon Quest 
world. 

841
00:55:37,520 --> 00:55:46,040
I also downloaded Dragon Quest 
1-2 so I can play it and 'cause 

842
00:55:46,040 --> 00:55:50,600
I don't see how you can play all
these deep story games all at 

843
00:55:50,600 --> 00:55:55,920
once and then I didn't know 
where you are when you go back 

844
00:55:55,920 --> 00:55:59,440
into the game after month you. 
Said I know where I am when I go

845
00:55:59,440 --> 00:56:04,000
back into the game, OK? 
And and I sorry now. 

846
00:56:04,120 --> 00:56:06,960
You go. 
Ahead. 

847
00:56:07,480 --> 00:56:10,080
A lot of times I play these deep
scoring games and like when I 

848
00:56:10,080 --> 00:56:13,360
put them down and have to pick 
them back up, I have to relearn 

849
00:56:13,360 --> 00:56:15,560
how to play all over again. 
And sometimes I just start 

850
00:56:16,000 --> 00:56:18,560
depending on how far I am. 
I just try to pick it up from 

851
00:56:18,560 --> 00:56:21,720
wherever I am and if I'm not 
that far I'll just start the 

852
00:56:21,720 --> 00:56:26,960
game over. 
Well so I'm playing Dragon Quest

853
00:56:27,040 --> 00:56:31,080
3 and I am also playing a drum 
roll. 

854
00:56:31,080 --> 00:56:37,480
Please Selashta 2. 
Selashta 2 is said to be the BG 

855
00:56:37,480 --> 00:56:41,560
3's. 
Successor, you're you're 

856
00:56:41,560 --> 00:56:45,280
breaking up now. 
Can you hear me now? 

857
00:56:49,120 --> 00:56:51,560
Yes. 
OK, so you said the game. 

858
00:56:51,560 --> 00:56:54,760
Was called what 2? 
Celestra. 

859
00:56:57,640 --> 00:57:02,200
Celestra 2. 
Yes, and it is said to be the BG

860
00:57:02,200 --> 00:57:12,800
three sequel or the BG3 like 
which uses the new the new. 

861
00:57:15,320 --> 00:57:17,920
What am I thinking? 
Oh oh, the new rules for dungeon

862
00:57:17,920 --> 00:57:24,800
Dragons, which dungeon Dragons 
5.5 edition and you know it's 

863
00:57:25,520 --> 00:57:27,560
supposed to be really good. 
I'm going to go in there today. 

864
00:57:27,560 --> 00:57:31,760
I haven't played it yet but I 
want to go in there today and 

865
00:57:31,760 --> 00:57:35,200
just see what the character 
customization is like because 

866
00:57:36,400 --> 00:57:39,160
they the game is officially 
released. 

867
00:57:39,400 --> 00:57:47,000
But it did cost me $32 from 
$38.30. $2.00 today. 

868
00:57:47,000 --> 00:57:50,200
Yeah, and, and I had a discount 
because I have been in their 

869
00:57:50,200 --> 00:57:56,760
discord. 
So, so I did have a discount and

870
00:57:58,560 --> 00:58:02,560
it's only $32 and but the game 
isn't released, it's just in 

871
00:58:02,560 --> 00:58:07,520
alpha stages. 
So yeah, I'm just doing the 

872
00:58:07,960 --> 00:58:12,880
alpha stages of the day, which 
is up to level 4, and there are 

873
00:58:13,000 --> 00:58:18,400
some some things and it stops at
a certain place in that one. 

874
00:58:18,760 --> 00:58:22,440
But yeah, I'm excited. 
So is it? 

875
00:58:22,560 --> 00:58:25,440
Is it? 
Did you pay $32 for the alpha or

876
00:58:25,440 --> 00:58:27,280
did you pay $32 for the entire 
game? 

877
00:58:27,480 --> 00:58:29,720
So this is the entire game when 
it's released? 

878
00:58:29,720 --> 00:58:34,120
I did the same thing with BG3 
and I bought the alpha like 2 

879
00:58:34,120 --> 00:58:37,240
years before it was released. 
I remember that. 

880
00:58:37,240 --> 00:58:44,200
I remember that, yeah. 
The mark is when are you going 

881
00:58:44,200 --> 00:58:47,680
to play Harder Skate 3 'cause we
got that for you too. 

882
00:58:49,000 --> 00:58:53,400
You still have not played it. 
I played, I had been playing it 

883
00:58:53,400 --> 00:58:56,440
and then I stopped playing it. 
Some other things took 

884
00:58:56,440 --> 00:59:00,560
precedence. 
I want to make Baldest Gate 3 

885
00:59:00,560 --> 00:59:04,280
until like another couple's game
but I still got to upskill my 

886
00:59:04,280 --> 00:59:08,200
girlfriend. 
I feel like it'll be slower 

887
00:59:08,200 --> 00:59:11,280
paced. 
I don't know, I think Baldis 

888
00:59:11,280 --> 00:59:14,520
gate will be a very different 
kind of game than we have played

889
00:59:14,520 --> 00:59:18,080
together and so I'm trying to. 
I don't know, maybe I should 

890
00:59:18,080 --> 00:59:19,480
just drop her into it. 
What you think? 

891
00:59:21,840 --> 00:59:25,200
To my She's never going to learn
anything if you don't just play 

892
00:59:25,200 --> 00:59:29,920
it. 
That is a that is a way to go 

893
00:59:29,920 --> 00:59:31,680
about it. 
Just play it, OK? 

894
00:59:35,480 --> 00:59:40,520
Yeah, and there are so many mods
now with BG3 'cause you know, 

895
00:59:40,520 --> 00:59:44,920
they aren't, you know, they have
moved on, Larry, and has moved 

896
00:59:44,920 --> 00:59:46,640
on. 
So there's so many mods now that

897
00:59:46,640 --> 00:59:50,520
you can actually make it as easy
or as hard or as as fun as you 

898
00:59:50,560 --> 00:59:53,400
wanted to. 
So there's literally no excuse 

899
00:59:53,440 --> 00:59:59,480
not to play it now. 
But yes, we're going to talk 

900
00:59:59,480 --> 01:00:06,200
about how these games are. 
Have these easy modes, DeMarcus,

901
01:00:06,280 --> 01:00:11,040
do you think that game should 
have easy one? 

902
01:00:11,040 --> 01:00:13,320
Like it should be something 
that's included. 

903
01:00:14,240 --> 01:00:17,360
Do I think games in general 
should have an easy mode? 

904
01:00:17,480 --> 01:00:19,840
Yes. 
Do I think every game needs easy

905
01:00:19,840 --> 01:00:20,920
mode? 
Absolutely not. 

906
01:00:21,400 --> 01:00:23,920
Like I don't think Dark Souls 
needs an easy mode because I 

907
01:00:23,920 --> 01:00:29,080
think the, the, the, the premise
or the, the, the draw of that 

908
01:00:29,080 --> 01:00:32,360
game, like part of that game is 
that it is fucking hard. 

909
01:00:33,120 --> 01:00:36,520
So given in an easy mode, kind 
of like, you know, you, you kind

910
01:00:36,520 --> 01:00:38,080
of take away from the game 
itself. 

911
01:00:38,760 --> 01:00:42,760
But I mean. 
Like how some characters are 

912
01:00:42,760 --> 01:00:45,160
inherently black and that is a 
part of their character. 

913
01:00:45,480 --> 01:00:48,200
And if you if you don't and if 
you make them not black, then 

914
01:00:48,200 --> 01:00:51,200
it's like, what are they doing 
in this place with these people?

915
01:00:52,360 --> 01:00:54,240
So why is? 
The white man a slave. 

916
01:00:54,840 --> 01:00:57,840
Yeah, like Wyatt, like why is 
this white man the king of an 

917
01:00:57,840 --> 01:01:01,800
African country? 
So I think, and I think Baldur's

918
01:01:01,800 --> 01:01:04,360
Gate, not Baldur's Gate. 
I think of Elder. 

919
01:01:04,720 --> 01:01:07,720
Soul. 
Yeah, Elder, Elder Scrolls, Dark

920
01:01:07,720 --> 01:01:09,880
Souls, like those kinds of 
games. 

921
01:01:10,720 --> 01:01:14,800
Yeah, those kinds of games are 
inherently hard, you know, and 

922
01:01:14,800 --> 01:01:16,880
that is the way they are meant 
to be played. 

923
01:01:17,240 --> 01:01:20,520
But even those games have 
difficulty sliders. 

924
01:01:21,160 --> 01:01:24,520
Sure. 
But I don't know if they go to 

925
01:01:25,520 --> 01:01:32,320
easy mode because I've only 
dabbled in elder ring before I 

926
01:01:32,320 --> 01:01:34,280
started cheating like this game 
is it for me. 

927
01:01:36,400 --> 01:01:40,280
But but yeah. 
Some players believe that games 

928
01:01:40,760 --> 01:01:47,040
should be accessible to everyone
with easy mode, while others 

929
01:01:47,040 --> 01:01:50,120
believe that difficulty is a 
part of gameplay like you just 

930
01:01:50,120 --> 01:01:55,280
said. 
So I'm asking you, wait, what 

931
01:01:55,280 --> 01:02:00,160
you just said about Elder Ring 
and Bloodborne and even to an 

932
01:02:00,160 --> 01:02:04,560
extent Hades 2 and the Haiti 
series. 

933
01:02:06,720 --> 01:02:14,400
Do you think that that core 
gameplay should be so hard that 

934
01:02:14,400 --> 01:02:17,600
people who are not dexterous 
enough, of people who were born 

935
01:02:17,600 --> 01:02:24,240
with a disability, do you think 
that that should be OK if that 

936
01:02:24,240 --> 01:02:28,800
is the way that the designers, 
you know, wanted to be? 

937
01:02:29,840 --> 01:02:32,920
I think all games should be 
accessible. 

938
01:02:35,200 --> 01:02:41,080
I think that if I have if I if I
have lost eight out of my 10 

939
01:02:41,080 --> 01:02:44,520
digits and I only have this, I 
should still be able to play the

940
01:02:44,520 --> 01:02:51,400
game OK? 
Should the game be easier for me

941
01:02:52,680 --> 01:02:58,800
to play with my 2 remaining 
digits instead of my 10 digits? 

942
01:03:01,000 --> 01:03:04,560
The the physicality of it should
be easier. 

943
01:03:05,080 --> 01:03:06,920
It should be easier for me to do
the inputs. 

944
01:03:06,920 --> 01:03:11,360
It should be easier for me to, 
you know, do. 

945
01:03:11,360 --> 01:03:13,720
It should be easier for me to to
do the inputs. 

946
01:03:13,960 --> 01:03:16,600
But the game itself should not 
be easier. 

947
01:03:18,480 --> 01:03:20,520
OK. 
Because I should be, I should be

948
01:03:20,520 --> 01:03:24,280
able to have the same 
frustrating experience that my 

949
01:03:24,280 --> 01:03:28,160
10 digit having compatriots are 
experiencing. 

950
01:03:28,600 --> 01:03:31,120
Because then, you know, without 
that, then it becomes like two 

951
01:03:31,120 --> 01:03:33,400
different games. 
You know, you, you go to the, 

952
01:03:33,640 --> 01:03:36,840
the Dark Souls meet up and you 
know, everyone's like, oh, I got

953
01:03:36,840 --> 01:03:38,480
to this person. 
He was hella hard and I had to 

954
01:03:38,480 --> 01:03:40,760
figure out how to do it. 
And then you're just like, well,

955
01:03:41,640 --> 01:03:44,840
you know, it was easy for me 
because I only have two digits 

956
01:03:44,840 --> 01:03:47,920
and I just had to click 1 button
three times. 

957
01:03:47,920 --> 01:03:50,120
And then he was looking and I 
beat the guy and it's like we're

958
01:03:50,120 --> 01:03:52,080
playing two different games. 
Like, I don't want to hear what 

959
01:03:52,080 --> 01:03:54,640
you have to say. 
Yeah, I definitely agree with 

960
01:03:54,680 --> 01:03:58,920
you there. 
Like the accessibility should be

961
01:03:58,920 --> 01:04:00,920
across the board. 
Everybody should be able to play

962
01:04:00,920 --> 01:04:05,360
what you want. 
But even if it's not like a 

963
01:04:05,360 --> 01:04:09,280
physical impairment, even if 
it's a mental impairment, A. 

964
01:04:09,280 --> 01:04:10,640
Cognitive impairment? 
Sure. 

965
01:04:10,640 --> 01:04:16,800
Yeah, where you can't, you know 
your neural pathways won't get 

966
01:04:16,800 --> 01:04:22,000
to your fingers as quickly as 
that frame per frame segment 

967
01:04:22,000 --> 01:04:26,320
that these fighting games even 
have in in their thing. 

968
01:04:26,320 --> 01:04:32,400
I think that they should 
allocate different modes but 

969
01:04:32,400 --> 01:04:39,560
still keep the difficulty up. 
Like I, I, I, I don't know how 

970
01:04:39,560 --> 01:04:42,720
they would do that, but I do 
think that is the best way. 

971
01:04:43,480 --> 01:04:50,080
I remember when The Last of Us 
one or two came out, how the 

972
01:04:50,160 --> 01:04:55,280
industry praised it for the ways
that it even let a blind person 

973
01:04:55,600 --> 01:05:01,720
play it with the audio cues. 
So, and if you were bumping into

974
01:05:01,720 --> 01:05:06,840
something more little chimes, if
you were blind and they had 

975
01:05:06,840 --> 01:05:12,160
different cues for if you could 
not see in color, then they may 

976
01:05:13,040 --> 01:05:16,440
be the enemies of certain 
shades. 

977
01:05:16,440 --> 01:05:19,640
So I did like that. 
I thought that made it really, 

978
01:05:19,640 --> 01:05:22,320
really accessible, really, 
really fun for everybody to 

979
01:05:22,360 --> 01:05:24,480
play. 
I'm not sure how they would do 

980
01:05:24,480 --> 01:05:28,920
that with a firmware game, but 
oh, go ahead. 

981
01:05:29,400 --> 01:05:32,760
One other thing that I want to 
say is 1 at least from my 

982
01:05:32,760 --> 01:05:36,840
perspective in what in in my 35 
years of experience in life, 

983
01:05:37,200 --> 01:05:40,200
100% accessibility is 
impossible. 

984
01:05:40,680 --> 01:05:43,680
Oh yeah, even for me. 
And I play games all the time 

985
01:05:43,760 --> 01:05:46,120
without any physical or 
cognitive impairments. 

986
01:05:46,920 --> 01:05:50,320
Like there's never going to be a
game where like everywhere they,

987
01:05:50,320 --> 01:05:54,800
we are able to cover every type 
of disability, every type of 

988
01:05:54,800 --> 01:05:59,600
impairment, every type of, you 
know, faculty, There's, there's 

989
01:05:59,600 --> 01:06:01,920
never there's, that's never 
going to be a thing. 

990
01:06:02,840 --> 01:06:06,160
And, you know, should that be 
the goal? 

991
01:06:06,160 --> 01:06:11,440
Should we shoot for perfection? 
Maybe, But I'm, I'm glad I don't

992
01:06:11,440 --> 01:06:12,840
work in that world. 
So I have to make those 

993
01:06:12,840 --> 01:06:19,040
decisions. 
Now another thing is the length 

994
01:06:19,040 --> 01:06:24,040
of time because not everybody 
has two or three hours to spend 

995
01:06:24,040 --> 01:06:26,240
on a boss fight. 
Like I know that one of the 

996
01:06:26,240 --> 01:06:29,880
major things I'm hearing with 
part of Skate 3. 

997
01:06:30,080 --> 01:06:31,560
That's why people don't like 
mistake. 

998
01:06:31,600 --> 01:06:33,160
This isn't a jump in and jump 
out game. 

999
01:06:33,520 --> 01:06:37,280
You can't jump in and jump out. 
You are in a battle sequence. 

1000
01:06:37,520 --> 01:06:40,600
You going to be there for at 
least 45 minutes to an hour. 

1001
01:06:40,920 --> 01:06:45,120
If you are fighting goblins. 
Now you fight a boss is going to

1002
01:06:45,120 --> 01:06:49,000
be like longer than that, but 
you find something that's going 

1003
01:06:49,000 --> 01:06:52,960
to be pretty long, but everybody
doesn't have time to just jump 

1004
01:06:52,960 --> 01:06:55,000
in. 
I remember that does have time 

1005
01:06:55,000 --> 01:07:00,560
to sit there, hunker down and 
like be prepared for a long 

1006
01:07:00,560 --> 01:07:04,440
Jordan boss battle. 
And that one I got AI got AI got

1007
01:07:04,440 --> 01:07:08,480
a kick that one back. 
Because that's, that's the same 

1008
01:07:08,480 --> 01:07:11,160
as like saying like, oh, I don't
have time to sit down and watch 

1009
01:07:11,160 --> 01:07:13,040
a hour movie. 
It's like, OK, you, you don't 

1010
01:07:13,040 --> 01:07:15,400
have time for an hour movie, go 
do something else. 

1011
01:07:16,080 --> 01:07:18,640
You make time for the things 
that you want to make time for. 

1012
01:07:19,160 --> 01:07:21,320
You know, I don't have time to 
sit down and watch a 30 minute 

1013
01:07:21,320 --> 01:07:23,560
show then go watch a 15 minute 
YouTube short. 

1014
01:07:24,000 --> 01:07:28,320
DeMarcus, you have said on this 
podcast that you have queued up 

1015
01:07:28,360 --> 01:07:33,320
a game, I think you queued up on
the Skate 3 and you saw that the

1016
01:07:33,400 --> 01:07:36,480
data was going to be too long. 
And he was like, no, I can't do 

1017
01:07:36,480 --> 01:07:37,760
this right now. 
Yeah. 

1018
01:07:37,760 --> 01:07:40,080
And I turned it off. 
Yeah, absolutely. 

1019
01:07:40,080 --> 01:07:43,520
And so I'd go do something else 
because I don't have time for 

1020
01:07:43,520 --> 01:07:47,000
that thing right now, and I make
time for it later now that I 

1021
01:07:47,000 --> 01:07:48,240
know how long it's going to 
take. 

1022
01:07:48,600 --> 01:07:51,080
You make time for it later. 
You haven't picked it back up. 

1023
01:07:51,360 --> 01:07:56,080
But then why would you? 
I, I, I think that you say that 

1024
01:07:56,600 --> 01:08:02,240
you made time for that thing, 
but you haven't made time for it

1025
01:08:02,240 --> 01:08:04,080
because I. 
Think I'm, I'm speaking more in 

1026
01:08:04,080 --> 01:08:07,080
general that when I if I don't, 
if something is going to take a 

1027
01:08:07,080 --> 01:08:10,600
long time and I don't have time 
for it, I don't do it and I make

1028
01:08:10,600 --> 01:08:14,560
time for it later. 
I don't try to crunch it into 30

1029
01:08:14,560 --> 01:08:16,000
minutes. 
If it should take an hour. 

1030
01:08:16,000 --> 01:08:18,760
I don't try to. 
I don't, I don't complain and 

1031
01:08:18,760 --> 01:08:21,760
Rage Against the machine like, 
oh, you should make this be 

1032
01:08:21,760 --> 01:08:24,520
shorter for me because I don't 
want to spend 30. 

1033
01:08:24,560 --> 01:08:26,000
I don't want to spend the whole 
hour. 

1034
01:08:26,000 --> 01:08:36,720
No, it takes an hour. 
So you need to play body skate 

1035
01:08:36,720 --> 01:08:39,880
3. 
I will make time for it when I 

1036
01:08:39,880 --> 01:08:43,560
feel like it. 
Oh, by the way, the other games 

1037
01:08:43,560 --> 01:08:46,319
I'm playing, I'm playing High on
Life and I'm playing Dragon Age 

1038
01:08:46,359 --> 01:08:49,920
with the Vale guard. 
Oh, how's Dragon Age? 

1039
01:08:50,640 --> 01:08:53,200
It's good, it's fun. 
I played. 

1040
01:08:53,279 --> 01:09:00,120
That I played, that I did 
really, you know, you. 

1041
01:09:00,120 --> 01:09:03,000
Didn't like it? 
It didn't do for me. 

1042
01:09:03,000 --> 01:09:05,000
What previous iterations of 
that? 

1043
01:09:06,000 --> 01:09:09,479
Yeah, Dragon Age 2 was the best 
one in my opinion. 

1044
01:09:09,800 --> 01:09:14,160
Yeah, I like the one where they 
had the table and you can go 

1045
01:09:14,160 --> 01:09:17,319
around, I don't know if that was
Dragon Age 2 or Dragon Age 

1046
01:09:17,359 --> 01:09:23,800
Origins, but I like the table 
and after you and with this one,

1047
01:09:23,800 --> 01:09:28,080
after you got into it, it just 
was a constant to say, OK. 

1048
01:09:28,760 --> 01:09:30,640
Yeah, it seems like that. 
It seems like it's going in that

1049
01:09:30,640 --> 01:09:32,880
direction. 
Like you, you, you like this is 

1050
01:09:32,880 --> 01:09:35,160
your base. 
You go to a different place and 

1051
01:09:35,160 --> 01:09:38,399
kind of like fight through this 
map, get to the thing, then go 

1052
01:09:38,399 --> 01:09:40,960
back to your base. 
Yeah, yeah. 

1053
01:09:40,960 --> 01:09:45,520
And I it, it gets, and a lot of 
games get a little repetitive 

1054
01:09:45,520 --> 01:09:47,720
like that. 
And like, that's why I stopped 

1055
01:09:47,720 --> 01:09:50,279
playing the Assassin's Creed 
games. 

1056
01:09:50,279 --> 01:09:55,720
There's just, it was like, it 
was like run, sneak, jump, run, 

1057
01:09:55,720 --> 01:10:02,560
sneak, jump, stab. 
Now, as you said, certain games 

1058
01:10:02,560 --> 01:10:07,000
are designed around a challenge 
other than a core experience. 

1059
01:10:07,360 --> 01:10:11,920
No, a challenge as the core 
experience like Elder Rain, 

1060
01:10:11,920 --> 01:10:17,680
Blood Board, Hades, Hades one 
and two, and beating a difficult

1061
01:10:17,680 --> 01:10:24,040
boss Price. 
I share cultural moments among 

1062
01:10:24,040 --> 01:10:25,920
players. 
Hey, Marcus, what are you doing?

1063
01:10:25,920 --> 01:10:27,600
Why not see you at the top of 
your head? 

1064
01:10:27,640 --> 01:10:28,760
You ain't bald yet. 
I. 

1065
01:10:31,240 --> 01:10:33,960
Don't think I ever will go bald,
but go ahead. 

1066
01:10:34,720 --> 01:10:38,840
Shared cultural experience. 
Yeah, because I did see a lot of

1067
01:10:38,840 --> 01:10:42,480
people who played Elvin Raine 
talk about this boss, that they 

1068
01:10:43,280 --> 01:10:48,560
made it through in this event, 
that they delved even to the 

1069
01:10:48,560 --> 01:10:51,240
dungeon, they found something 
new and they beat this boss. 

1070
01:10:51,240 --> 01:10:57,360
And even with me, with God of 
War and fighting all those 

1071
01:10:57,360 --> 01:10:58,760
harpies. 
Harpies. 

1072
01:10:58,960 --> 01:11:01,840
Funny, that was. 
The Valkyries, Great. 

1073
01:11:02,000 --> 01:11:05,760
Yeah, the Valkyries, that was 
great when I made it through 

1074
01:11:05,760 --> 01:11:10,080
there. 
And I, I, I, I beat the final 

1075
01:11:10,080 --> 01:11:17,240
Valkyrie myself, no cheats, but 
yeah, that was an amazing time. 

1076
01:11:17,240 --> 01:11:21,080
But like, and it's certain in 
these games, Elder Rain, Blood 

1077
01:11:21,080 --> 01:11:26,560
Board, these are the From 
Software games, Dark Souls, they

1078
01:11:26,840 --> 01:11:30,200
make games with those boss bells
in mind so that people can talk 

1079
01:11:30,200 --> 01:11:31,640
about it. 
Yeah. 

1080
01:11:31,880 --> 01:11:35,120
And I think that is like, like 
building a game around a 

1081
01:11:35,120 --> 01:11:39,080
challenge is not a bad thing. 
Having that challenge take some 

1082
01:11:39,080 --> 01:11:41,680
time, some amount of time, also 
not a bad thing. 

1083
01:11:41,680 --> 01:11:43,120
Like that is part of the 
challenge. 

1084
01:11:45,360 --> 01:11:52,320
Yeah, and I remember another 
great boss that I loved was a 

1085
01:11:52,360 --> 01:11:56,000
King of Hearts 2. 
I believe there was a secret 

1086
01:11:56,000 --> 01:12:02,240
boss connected to the Peter Pan 
world, and you could be outside 

1087
01:12:02,240 --> 01:12:05,680
of that, a big band. 
You are flying around and you 

1088
01:12:05,680 --> 01:12:08,560
had to beat this boss that was 
on big band. 

1089
01:12:08,880 --> 01:12:13,200
Oh, that was such an amazing 
boss 'cause you're flying, you 

1090
01:12:13,480 --> 01:12:20,240
are, you're shooting fireballs 
and you're going up and you're 

1091
01:12:20,840 --> 01:12:25,480
hitting it with the key blade. 
So it, that was an amazing, I 

1092
01:12:25,480 --> 01:12:28,840
love like I would go to that 
boss again, again, again, again,

1093
01:12:28,840 --> 01:12:31,960
again 'cause you could actually 
repeat it, but the mark is. 

1094
01:12:31,960 --> 01:12:35,880
What are some of your favorite 
experience with a boss? 

1095
01:12:37,080 --> 01:12:40,640
One of my favorite bosses is the
final boss from Legend of the 

1096
01:12:40,640 --> 01:12:42,320
Dragoon, Yeah. 
Yeah. 

1097
01:12:44,240 --> 01:12:48,840
'Cause he had, he like he was 
tough to beat point blank 

1098
01:12:48,840 --> 01:12:51,920
period. 
And you know, I'm fighting them,

1099
01:12:51,920 --> 01:12:55,440
I'm losing, I'm losing. 
And I finally beat him and I'm 

1100
01:12:55,440 --> 01:12:57,680
like, yes, I'm done. 
He's down. 

1101
01:12:57,680 --> 01:13:01,240
And then he has a second form 
And I was like, you got to be 

1102
01:13:01,240 --> 01:13:06,440
fucking kidding me. 
And I was like, I have been 

1103
01:13:06,440 --> 01:13:11,080
using all of my resources to get
past the first form and there's 

1104
01:13:11,080 --> 01:13:14,400
a whole nother battle left. 
You have. 

1105
01:13:14,480 --> 01:13:16,400
Nothing left. 
What was we going to do here? 

1106
01:13:17,320 --> 01:13:19,440
Yeah, that was when Square Soft 
was. 

1107
01:13:19,920 --> 01:13:23,480
No, Square Enix was Square Soft 
and they always had those kind 

1108
01:13:23,480 --> 01:13:26,080
of bosses that oh, you thought 
you was done. 

1109
01:13:26,720 --> 01:13:30,040
Yeah, so I think like that's one
thing I love, like a good second

1110
01:13:30,160 --> 01:13:33,720
form boss. 
I think I think this game, I 

1111
01:13:33,720 --> 01:13:36,360
think this the other one I'm 
thinking of is in Dark Souls, 

1112
01:13:38,400 --> 01:13:43,160
but it's it was like a it was 
like a minotaur, like a giant 

1113
01:13:43,160 --> 01:13:46,400
minotaur bull creature monster 
on like a bridge. 

1114
01:13:46,680 --> 01:13:48,440
It might have been in Elder 
Scrolls. 

1115
01:13:49,160 --> 01:13:54,520
So you played these games? 
Dark Souls, elder Elden reign. 

1116
01:13:54,520 --> 01:13:57,000
It might have been elden reign. 
It's either Dark Souls or Elden 

1117
01:13:57,000 --> 01:14:02,680
reign and I think it was either 
that or Dark Souls. 

1118
01:14:02,720 --> 01:14:05,280
Like I played, I played, I 
played both of them, but I can't

1119
01:14:05,280 --> 01:14:06,440
remember where this ball showed 
up. 

1120
01:14:08,640 --> 01:14:10,200
And like I'm fighting them, I'm 
fighting them. 

1121
01:14:10,200 --> 01:14:12,680
I keep, I keep losing and I keep
going back to fight them. 

1122
01:14:12,680 --> 01:14:16,240
And I'm like learning as I go 
looking some things up, you 

1123
01:14:16,240 --> 01:14:17,800
know, learning some tips and 
tricks. 

1124
01:14:18,080 --> 01:14:21,200
And it get, I get to a point 
where I'm like, I'm fighting 

1125
01:14:21,200 --> 01:14:23,040
them on the bridge. 
I have him like trapped in a 

1126
01:14:23,040 --> 01:14:25,720
corner and he falls off the 
bridge And I was like, I'll take

1127
01:14:25,720 --> 01:14:26,640
it. 
I'm out of here. 

1128
01:14:30,440 --> 01:14:33,160
And then the last one I'll 
mention is a boss from split 

1129
01:14:33,160 --> 01:14:35,080
fiction. 
It's one of the early bosses 

1130
01:14:35,080 --> 01:14:39,080
when you have the, the, the 
parking ticket world or whatever

1131
01:14:39,600 --> 01:14:43,600
and it's like this orb and it 
just like keeps throwing cards 

1132
01:14:43,600 --> 01:14:46,880
at you and you got it. 
Like one person has to like jump

1133
01:14:46,880 --> 01:14:50,520
onto the boss while the other 
person like shoots at it to like

1134
01:14:50,520 --> 01:14:55,000
open up this certain piece. 
And then, you know, you got to 

1135
01:14:55,000 --> 01:14:56,240
like work together, hit with a 
bomb. 

1136
01:14:56,280 --> 01:15:00,520
I I love that boss just because 
there's so much, there's so much

1137
01:15:00,520 --> 01:15:03,120
teamwork that goes into it and 
you need so much coordination. 

1138
01:15:04,880 --> 01:15:06,520
So you had to really work 
together to beat them. 

1139
01:15:06,520 --> 01:15:08,280
And I asked. 
And yeah, so those are some of 

1140
01:15:08,280 --> 01:15:10,560
my the bosses that stand out of 
my mind. 

1141
01:15:10,880 --> 01:15:14,800
I didn't know that you played 
From Software games. 

1142
01:15:18,960 --> 01:15:24,000
So interesting. 
Yeah, there is something that 

1143
01:15:24,200 --> 01:15:27,520
else I wanted to say that I have
forgotten. 

1144
01:15:27,560 --> 01:15:30,440
It's just like I always do. 
What? 

1145
01:15:30,440 --> 01:15:32,080
Are some of your favorite 
bosses, Jared? 

1146
01:15:32,360 --> 01:15:36,360
Well, I said already, Kingdom 
Hearts is a boss battle that 

1147
01:15:36,360 --> 01:15:38,080
stands out to me. 
Big. 

1148
01:15:38,080 --> 01:15:39,840
Ben, Yeah. 
Do you have any more? 

1149
01:15:39,840 --> 01:15:41,280
Is this that one? 
Yeah. 

1150
01:15:41,360 --> 01:15:44,520
Yeah, yeah, I can do some more. 
I Final Fantasy 8, which is my 

1151
01:15:44,520 --> 01:15:48,960
favorite game of all time. 
When you fight idea, who is a 

1152
01:15:48,960 --> 01:15:55,080
sorceress for the first time and
then they have this part at the 

1153
01:15:55,200 --> 01:15:59,040
end where every big battle is a 
boss battle. 

1154
01:15:59,320 --> 01:16:03,840
It's a open up more parts of 
your menu. 

1155
01:16:04,120 --> 01:16:06,200
You have to fight all these 
people or you're going to skip 

1156
01:16:06,200 --> 01:16:10,400
to the main boss. 
So if I'm going to use magic, 

1157
01:16:10,720 --> 01:16:14,520
then I have to fight somebody to
unlock my magic thing. 

1158
01:16:14,520 --> 01:16:17,680
If I want to summit something, 
I'll fight another thing, so I 

1159
01:16:17,680 --> 01:16:19,640
could like the summit. 
If I want to use items, I have 

1160
01:16:19,640 --> 01:16:21,400
to fight something else. 
I'm going to use my items. 

1161
01:16:21,400 --> 01:16:23,360
And it goes on and on and on 
like that. 

1162
01:16:23,880 --> 01:16:26,120
Is all of this part of the same 
fight? 

1163
01:16:26,120 --> 01:16:28,680
Like while you're fighting the 
one boss is like I go to use my 

1164
01:16:28,680 --> 01:16:31,760
items and I have to do fight 
something else to use the item. 

1165
01:16:32,040 --> 01:16:35,680
No, these are different bosses 
and then and then there are 

1166
01:16:35,680 --> 01:16:39,880
enemies in between these bosses 
and this is the end game. 

1167
01:16:39,880 --> 01:16:41,960
So they're all extremely high 
level. 

1168
01:16:42,280 --> 01:16:47,760
And so I think that that was one
of my favorite things that stuck

1169
01:16:47,760 --> 01:16:49,920
with me and keep me going back 
to that game. 

1170
01:16:52,000 --> 01:16:58,360
I think that those two are the 
Valkyries and got war and that 

1171
01:16:58,360 --> 01:17:02,040
final Valkyrie, which took me 
like the first Valkyrie took me 

1172
01:17:02,040 --> 01:17:05,480
so many times. 
I cut it off for for a day. 

1173
01:17:05,800 --> 01:17:09,520
Then I went back in on the game,
went inside the Valkyrie 

1174
01:17:09,520 --> 01:17:10,880
dungeon. 
I beat the first try. 

1175
01:17:10,880 --> 01:17:13,800
I was like you just had. 
To let it sink, you had to let 

1176
01:17:13,800 --> 01:17:15,400
the lessons sink in. 
You had the lessons. 

1177
01:17:18,240 --> 01:17:19,440
I know the question I wanted to 
ask. 

1178
01:17:19,440 --> 01:17:30,400
Do you think that the Internet 
is changing the difficulty? 

1179
01:17:30,760 --> 01:17:34,440
You know when you can just look 
up the answer with how to do 

1180
01:17:34,440 --> 01:17:40,400
stuff because like on my 
machine, on my Windows, PCI 

1181
01:17:40,400 --> 01:17:43,440
could just press a button and 
then here come the AI. 

1182
01:17:43,440 --> 01:17:46,920
Now I could just ask the AI, how
do I finish? 

1183
01:17:46,920 --> 01:17:49,040
How do I beat this part? 
Because it already knows the 

1184
01:17:49,040 --> 01:17:51,640
game I'm playing. 
It has a screenshot on on my 

1185
01:17:51,880 --> 01:17:53,160
computer. 
So I already know. 

1186
01:17:53,160 --> 01:17:56,160
So I say, how do I beat it? 
And it tells me details step by 

1187
01:17:56,160 --> 01:18:00,320
step. 
And then PlayStation, if you are

1188
01:18:00,320 --> 01:18:04,840
in the PlayStation, that one for
$20, you can press another 

1189
01:18:04,840 --> 01:18:06,440
button and go to how do I solve 
this? 

1190
01:18:06,520 --> 01:18:08,320
It'll tell you how people solve 
this. 

1191
01:18:08,320 --> 01:18:16,160
So do you think that the 
Internet is making it easier for

1192
01:18:16,240 --> 01:18:20,400
people to beat these games? 
Do I think the Internet is 

1193
01:18:20,400 --> 01:18:23,400
making it easier in a way? 
In a way because. 

1194
01:18:23,440 --> 01:18:24,680
And I think it depends on the 
game, right? 

1195
01:18:24,720 --> 01:18:26,840
If this we're talking about a 
puzzle game that's hard and 

1196
01:18:26,840 --> 01:18:28,720
you're going to like, look up 
the answers to the puzzle. 

1197
01:18:28,920 --> 01:18:30,800
Yeah. 
Because it's there's not a lot 

1198
01:18:30,800 --> 01:18:37,120
of maybe there's not so much 
like to do except for like input

1199
01:18:37,120 --> 01:18:39,920
the answers or move the things 
into the right place. 

1200
01:18:40,400 --> 01:18:50,440
But for games like split fiction
or like Baldis Gate or Dark 

1201
01:18:50,440 --> 01:18:52,760
Souls or like some of the harder
games we're never talking about 

1202
01:18:52,760 --> 01:18:56,640
or even like this, like more 
action oriented games, like I 

1203
01:18:56,640 --> 01:18:59,840
can give you the recipe, I can 
give you the sauce, but you 

1204
01:18:59,840 --> 01:19:01,640
still got to go over there and 
do it. 

1205
01:19:01,640 --> 01:19:04,920
Now I can be like, oh, if you 
just jump to the third ledge and

1206
01:19:04,920 --> 01:19:08,360
then, you know, skip to the 4th 
instead of jumping to the 

1207
01:19:08,360 --> 01:19:11,760
fourth, you know, then you'll be
able to beat this person. 

1208
01:19:11,880 --> 01:19:14,000
And it's like, OK, cool, that 
makes sense in my head. 

1209
01:19:14,000 --> 01:19:17,080
Now I actually have to have to 
develop the skill to do that. 

1210
01:19:18,360 --> 01:19:24,800
So like when do you use the 
Internet to figure out how to 

1211
01:19:26,720 --> 01:19:29,280
beat something? 
Because I use it a lot when I'm 

1212
01:19:29,440 --> 01:19:31,240
doing puzzles. 
I don't want to solve the 

1213
01:19:31,240 --> 01:19:34,480
puzzle. 
And I use it a lot with these 

1214
01:19:34,480 --> 01:19:36,760
games that I love the choice 
games. 

1215
01:19:36,760 --> 01:19:38,520
So I can see, OK, what happens 
if I choose this? 

1216
01:19:38,800 --> 01:19:42,800
What happens if I choose that? 
So when do you use the Internet 

1217
01:19:42,960 --> 01:19:44,440
for I? 
Use it. 

1218
01:19:45,080 --> 01:19:47,800
I will use it if like if there 
is something like if I'm 

1219
01:19:47,800 --> 01:19:51,240
collecting something in a game 
and I want to collect all of 

1220
01:19:51,240 --> 01:19:54,000
them, I will use the Internet to
be like, you know, where are 

1221
01:19:54,000 --> 01:19:55,720
these things so I can collect 
them all. 

1222
01:19:58,120 --> 01:19:59,880
And you know, that's if I'm 
like, if I can't find them 

1223
01:19:59,880 --> 01:20:03,200
myself, like I think I always 
give it a shot myself first, 

1224
01:20:03,320 --> 01:20:08,760
like I will use it to. 
I would look up like crafting 

1225
01:20:08,760 --> 01:20:11,200
recipes and like, oh, I want to 
be able to, I want to like make 

1226
01:20:11,400 --> 01:20:13,960
this. 
Like what do I need to make it? 

1227
01:20:13,960 --> 01:20:15,280
Where do I find the things to 
make it? 

1228
01:20:17,200 --> 01:20:20,640
I think a lot of times I use it 
for like, where do I find 

1229
01:20:20,720 --> 01:20:25,720
information in this game? 
And then like if I'm replaying a

1230
01:20:25,720 --> 01:20:27,200
game, I'll definitely use the 
Internet. 

1231
01:20:27,200 --> 01:20:29,600
I'll use like walkthroughs. 
I'll use, I'll use it all. 

1232
01:20:32,240 --> 01:20:34,160
Yeah, because I think, like you,
like I said earlier, like I'm a 

1233
01:20:34,160 --> 01:20:36,360
bit of a purist when it comes to
like your first playthrough. 

1234
01:20:36,360 --> 01:20:39,880
You got to do it on your own. 
Yeah, I definitely do it for 

1235
01:20:39,880 --> 01:20:43,600
crafting too, but even I don't 
think I've ever been a guy. 

1236
01:20:43,600 --> 01:20:49,120
Do all your own because when I 
would get the Pokémon games like

1237
01:20:49,120 --> 01:20:53,960
especially red and blue or 
yellow or whatever, the next 

1238
01:20:54,000 --> 01:20:59,280
iterations where I have like 3 
versions of the Pokémon books 

1239
01:20:59,840 --> 01:21:02,560
where it was show you OK, this 
is this child. 

1240
01:21:02,560 --> 01:21:05,440
This is the monsters that you 
can find in the woods here, the 

1241
01:21:05,440 --> 01:21:08,400
percentage and like they are so 
beautiful. 

1242
01:21:08,400 --> 01:21:12,040
I hate that they don't make 
those anymore from Brady games. 

1243
01:21:12,720 --> 01:21:16,560
So I would get the books for 
Pokémon and for Final Fantasy so

1244
01:21:16,560 --> 01:21:20,280
I can get all the secrets that 
were also included. 

1245
01:21:20,720 --> 01:21:26,520
And so definitely for those two 
games I have like my Final 

1246
01:21:26,520 --> 01:21:30,520
Fantasy 1011, I have those 
things back there somewhere. 

1247
01:21:30,520 --> 01:21:35,400
I got Pokémon for like 3 and I 
got some other Brady games are 

1248
01:21:35,400 --> 01:21:38,600
actual guides that show you know
what to do. 

1249
01:21:39,280 --> 01:21:42,320
And so I will use a guide. 
I mean, so it definitely depends

1250
01:21:42,320 --> 01:21:44,720
on like what game I'm playing. 
Like I'm about to pull out a 

1251
01:21:44,720 --> 01:21:47,800
walkthrough for Ark the Lad 
because I feel like I'm in the 

1252
01:21:47,920 --> 01:21:50,760
end game. 
And when I first played through,

1253
01:21:50,760 --> 01:21:54,400
I found the like, the boss room 
immediately and I was like, OK, 

1254
01:21:54,400 --> 01:21:55,320
bet. 
And I was like, but I'm not 

1255
01:21:55,320 --> 01:21:56,880
strong enough. 
So I need to grind around here a

1256
01:21:56,880 --> 01:21:59,960
little bit to, you know, up some
levels, learn some more skills 

1257
01:21:59,960 --> 01:22:01,720
and then I'll go back and fight 
them. 

1258
01:22:01,720 --> 01:22:04,120
But now I'm lost and I can't 
find my way back. 

1259
01:22:04,840 --> 01:22:07,520
So I'm about to look it up. 
Yeah. 

1260
01:22:07,520 --> 01:22:09,200
So I'll look stuff up about just
get frustrated too. 

1261
01:22:09,200 --> 01:22:10,040
I'm just like, all right, fuck 
it. 

1262
01:22:10,040 --> 01:22:13,720
I I did my best. 
But I do like a good, like, 

1263
01:22:13,720 --> 01:22:15,520
overview thing. 
It's like, hey, here's 

1264
01:22:15,640 --> 01:22:18,640
everything in this area, not 
necessarily where it is, but 

1265
01:22:18,640 --> 01:22:20,480
here's here are the things you 
can find. 

1266
01:22:21,280 --> 01:22:23,920
Yeah, I think I want to go back 
to that, just buying the book. 

1267
01:22:23,920 --> 01:22:27,080
Like I want to play Final 
Fantasy 7, the original version 

1268
01:22:27,080 --> 01:22:29,560
again. 
I want to like get the book and 

1269
01:22:29,560 --> 01:22:33,800
kind of go back and see what all
is there. 

1270
01:22:33,800 --> 01:22:36,600
And I'm going to play 9. 
I think I have 9 actually. 

1271
01:22:37,440 --> 01:22:40,800
Anyways, let's go ahead and wrap
this up now. 

1272
01:22:40,800 --> 01:22:43,240
In the 80s and 90s, they made 
games. 

1273
01:22:43,240 --> 01:22:47,760
They didn't care about you. 
There was. 

1274
01:22:47,840 --> 01:22:51,240
One possible because what was 
that one Lion King game there? 

1275
01:22:51,240 --> 01:22:53,080
Was like a Lion King. 
Card on purpose. 

1276
01:22:53,240 --> 01:22:58,440
Yes, Teenage Mutant Ninja 
Turtles, yes, like, but that 

1277
01:22:58,440 --> 01:23:03,040
came from the arcade versions of
those games. 

1278
01:23:03,240 --> 01:23:06,760
They didn't want you to win, 
they just wanted to to for you 

1279
01:23:06,760 --> 01:23:09,640
to have those quarters that to 
put in the quarters we want. 

1280
01:23:09,640 --> 01:23:11,480
You to keep it always comes back
to capitalism. 

1281
01:23:11,480 --> 01:23:15,600
We always want your money. 
Yeah, so difficulty really meant

1282
01:23:15,600 --> 01:23:23,520
that replayability when games 
were shorter and they really, 

1283
01:23:24,480 --> 01:23:27,240
you know, because if, because if
you're there for three hours at 

1284
01:23:27,240 --> 01:23:30,640
the arcade, then I only got 
$0.25 from you. 

1285
01:23:33,040 --> 01:23:35,560
Yeah. 
And modern games, they are 

1286
01:23:35,560 --> 01:23:39,600
longer, more story driven, more 
choices. 

1287
01:23:40,120 --> 01:23:46,600
And this audience now includes 
more casual gamers, more people 

1288
01:23:46,600 --> 01:23:51,400
40 and up are playing. 
And a lot of these people have 

1289
01:23:51,400 --> 01:23:55,840
actually grew up with a console 
in their hand, right? 

1290
01:23:57,280 --> 01:23:59,800
But I just want to. 
But yeah, those games in the 

1291
01:23:59,800 --> 01:24:09,840
90s, Earthworm Gem, Comic Zone, 
Lion King, Aladdin, The Little 

1292
01:24:09,840 --> 01:24:16,320
Mermaid, Echo the Dolphin. 
I saw, I saw this play through 

1293
01:24:16,320 --> 01:24:17,960
of Echo. 
When was your play through? 

1294
01:24:18,360 --> 01:24:21,520
I, I saw this little thing while
people were talking about Echo 

1295
01:24:21,520 --> 01:24:23,360
the Dolphin, they were talking 
about how they're about to 

1296
01:24:23,360 --> 01:24:26,680
remake it and they show the old 
thing and I was watching. 

1297
01:24:26,680 --> 01:24:29,520
I was like, that's how you did 
that. 

1298
01:24:29,800 --> 01:24:32,080
You had to push a, you're 
underwater. 

1299
01:24:32,080 --> 01:24:34,680
You're a dolphin. 
You had to push a rock. 

1300
01:24:35,960 --> 01:24:37,840
You had to use a rock to push 
yourself down. 

1301
01:24:37,880 --> 01:24:41,040
Ask her to sweep it up. 
Do you have to roll that rock 

1302
01:24:41,800 --> 01:24:44,640
this way? 
I am a 8 year old little boy. 

1303
01:24:45,000 --> 01:24:46,200
I don't know nothing about 
Curry. 

1304
01:24:46,560 --> 01:24:49,080
Something like this. 
I don't know. 

1305
01:24:49,120 --> 01:24:53,880
You had to like, roll that rock 
all the way down there to open 

1306
01:24:53,880 --> 01:24:55,320
up. 
You know. 

1307
01:24:55,760 --> 01:24:57,240
Breaking up here. 
Oh, sorry. 

1308
01:24:57,960 --> 01:25:01,040
Am I better now? 
Hello. 

1309
01:25:03,000 --> 01:25:03,720
Can you hear me? 
Yeah. 

1310
01:25:03,720 --> 01:25:05,000
Better now. 
Yeah. 

1311
01:25:05,000 --> 01:25:07,040
And you had to. 
I was up again. 

1312
01:25:07,280 --> 01:25:11,720
Frozen again. 
Yeah, so I wasn't thinking that 

1313
01:25:11,720 --> 01:25:16,000
way with Echo the Dolphin. 
And that was just they just made

1314
01:25:16,000 --> 01:25:18,600
those games that hard. 
You had to have like a a video 

1315
01:25:18,600 --> 01:25:21,840
gaming degree to to beat these 
games. 

1316
01:25:23,400 --> 01:25:29,360
Like like I don't even remember 
a game that I beat before Final 

1317
01:25:29,360 --> 01:25:31,840
Fantasy 8 because it wasn't 
Sonic. 

1318
01:25:32,560 --> 01:25:37,640
I did not beat Sonic even though
I played all the time. 

1319
01:25:37,640 --> 01:25:40,120
I didn't beat Mario even though 
I played all the time. 

1320
01:25:40,360 --> 01:25:43,640
I think that Fantasy 8 was the 
first game because I kept going 

1321
01:25:43,640 --> 01:25:47,880
at it even though I was playing 
that game wrong. 

1322
01:25:48,760 --> 01:25:53,000
I played that game wrong because
I wasn't using the GFS to 

1323
01:25:53,040 --> 01:25:57,760
junction my abilities like I 
think did I tell the story 

1324
01:25:57,760 --> 01:25:59,600
before? 
I did not use the GFS to 

1325
01:25:59,600 --> 01:26:01,200
junction my abilities like it 
was. 

1326
01:26:01,360 --> 01:26:03,760
A whole part of the game that 
you just didn't use, that was 

1327
01:26:03,840 --> 01:26:05,440
supposed to make the game 
easier, Yeah. 

1328
01:26:05,600 --> 01:26:07,840
Yeah, so you're supposed to get 
that at this one. 

1329
01:26:07,960 --> 01:26:11,280
This for that castle. 
I'm talk to you about where 

1330
01:26:12,200 --> 01:26:15,280
where you can unlock the thing. 
I'm reading that and I was like,

1331
01:26:15,640 --> 01:26:22,040
unlock what did I figure it out 
that you're supposed to junction

1332
01:26:22,040 --> 01:26:27,480
the GFS to get access to explode
magic some? 

1333
01:26:27,480 --> 01:26:29,240
I was like. 
What? 

1334
01:26:29,640 --> 01:26:33,840
And then when you junk the GFS 
you could junction it with magic

1335
01:26:34,040 --> 01:26:37,880
so that you could be resistant 
or at these to your magic. 

1336
01:26:37,920 --> 01:26:40,640
I'm like, what is? 
I've been playing this game 

1337
01:26:40,640 --> 01:26:45,600
wrong the whole game for it. 
Could have been it could have 

1338
01:26:45,600 --> 01:26:48,440
been 60% easier. 
Right. 

1339
01:26:48,640 --> 01:26:53,880
No, 100% easier because I junk 
and I leveled up so much like 

1340
01:26:53,880 --> 01:26:57,560
doing it the extra hard way 
because I had to level up more 

1341
01:26:57,560 --> 01:26:59,840
because I wasn't using any of 
the extra stuff. 

1342
01:27:00,200 --> 01:27:04,000
I had to level up more. 
I level up so much that the rest

1343
01:27:04,000 --> 01:27:09,000
of the box, when I figured it 
out, it was so easy that first 

1344
01:27:09,120 --> 01:27:14,960
thing I was like at Max level 
and, and yeah, I like blew 

1345
01:27:14,960 --> 01:27:18,760
through the rest of the game and
I was like, when did they tell 

1346
01:27:18,760 --> 01:27:23,120
you this? 
But yeah, I, I didn't, I think 

1347
01:27:23,120 --> 01:27:24,960
that was the first game that I 
ever beat. 

1348
01:27:26,000 --> 01:27:30,360
Yeah, in the 80s and 90s. 
I can't remember the first game 

1349
01:27:30,360 --> 01:27:35,760
I ever beat 'cause I didn't like
I did not beat a lot of games. 

1350
01:27:35,960 --> 01:27:41,400
It's exactly I wasn't beating 
games Tombaugh no Sonic no. 

1351
01:27:41,560 --> 01:27:44,480
Mario no. 
I would skip to the end, Amar, 

1352
01:27:44,480 --> 01:27:50,480
just see if I could do it, no. 
Like the the last, like the like

1353
01:27:50,480 --> 01:27:53,160
the one that sticks out of my 
memory is like I had a dot heck 

1354
01:27:53,160 --> 01:27:56,760
sign game. 
Like the the the first series, 

1355
01:27:56,760 --> 01:28:01,720
the the dot heck sign games is 
like outbreak, infection, 

1356
01:28:02,160 --> 01:28:04,440
something else, something else. 
And I beat that. 

1357
01:28:04,840 --> 01:28:07,920
But and but I only remember 
beating it after I got a memory 

1358
01:28:07,920 --> 01:28:10,920
card and I could like save them 
for long as it was like a four 

1359
01:28:10,920 --> 01:28:14,240
disc kind of thing. 
Yeah, I think that helped me out

1360
01:28:14,240 --> 01:28:18,960
too, those memory cards. 
All right, DeMarcus, I think 

1361
01:28:18,960 --> 01:28:21,120
that's where we're going to end 
that conversation. 

1362
01:28:21,120 --> 01:28:22,640
That was a good conversation, I 
didn't think. 

1363
01:28:22,640 --> 01:28:24,400
Yeah, that was really good. 
I enjoyed that. 

1364
01:28:24,400 --> 01:28:28,080
I really I miss video games. 
You miss video games? 

1365
01:28:28,480 --> 01:28:32,320
How do you have the PlayStation,
Xbox and Switch looking at you 

1366
01:28:32,800 --> 01:28:35,400
I. 
Miss having the time to gain. 

1367
01:28:35,840 --> 01:28:38,400
I miss, I miss having. 
I miss being able to wake up on 

1368
01:28:38,400 --> 01:28:41,320
Saturday morning and just start 
gaming and nobody bought Yeah. 

1369
01:28:42,520 --> 01:28:47,320
Yeah. 
Do you think we have time for a 

1370
01:28:47,320 --> 01:28:51,760
question today? 
We're at the 30 minute mark 

1371
01:28:51,760 --> 01:28:52,560
right here. 
I. 

1372
01:28:53,200 --> 01:28:58,080
Know I'd rather not. 
Let's do a question to mark. 

1373
01:28:58,520 --> 01:29:03,080
Cool tomorrow, all right, well, 
if that's the case, go ahead and

1374
01:29:03,080 --> 01:29:04,520
follow us everywhere at the 
markets. 

1375
01:29:04,520 --> 01:29:07,720
That's what I did. 
I made a sub stack for us. 

1376
01:29:07,720 --> 01:29:09,000
What's a? 
Sub stack. 

1377
01:29:09,960 --> 01:29:14,200
I do not know, but I made a sub 
stack for us. 

1378
01:29:15,200 --> 01:29:19,440
It's supposedly it's another 
social media thing where I can 

1379
01:29:20,480 --> 01:29:23,200
find people and have them listen
to us. 

1380
01:29:23,200 --> 01:29:26,640
So I have the sub stack now. 
So you can find some sub stack 

1381
01:29:26,640 --> 01:29:29,000
at Black Geek Energy. 
You'll find us at all the social

1382
01:29:29,000 --> 01:29:32,120
media networks at Black Geek 
Energy because we are there. 

1383
01:29:33,520 --> 01:29:36,880
Yeah. 
DeMarcus, do you have any final 

1384
01:29:37,240 --> 01:29:40,360
words? 
Oh, subscribe to our Patreon and

1385
01:29:40,360 --> 01:29:52,880
buy a merch. 
A final words a man like video 

1386
01:29:52,880 --> 01:29:55,720
game, like everything doesn't 
have to be easy in your life. 

1387
01:29:56,960 --> 01:30:00,200
Like in the best things in life 
are hard. 

1388
01:30:00,200 --> 01:30:02,320
Like some of some of the best 
things that you will acquire in 

1389
01:30:02,320 --> 01:30:03,840
your life are going to be hard 
to get. 

1390
01:30:04,480 --> 01:30:08,680
And if you always run away from 
challenges, you always turn your

1391
01:30:08,680 --> 01:30:11,000
back on challenges, then you 
will never grow as a person. 

1392
01:30:11,560 --> 01:30:16,240
So play the hard games, play 
them on at least normal mode and

1393
01:30:16,240 --> 01:30:19,920
not easy mode. 
You know enjoy and you know if 

1394
01:30:20,040 --> 01:30:22,280
but if you if you already know 
you're a casual gamer and you're

1395
01:30:22,280 --> 01:30:25,560
there for the story, play the 
casual games. 

1396
01:30:26,080 --> 01:30:29,880
Don't buy a game that is known 
for being hard and then be like 

1397
01:30:29,880 --> 01:30:33,280
why isn't this game easy? 
Know your role, stay in your 

1398
01:30:33,280 --> 01:30:39,560
life. 
I think that you should, even if

1399
01:30:39,560 --> 01:30:43,240
you're a casual gamer, you can, 
if you want to experience 

1400
01:30:43,240 --> 01:30:45,880
something you can experience. 
Something give the give the hard

1401
01:30:45,880 --> 01:30:48,800
things to try to help you 
appreciate the casual games even

1402
01:30:48,800 --> 01:30:51,200
more, right? 
Right. 

1403
01:30:51,200 --> 01:30:55,480
All right, well, that is the end
of Black Geek Energy. 

1404
01:30:55,720 --> 01:30:58,640
I will see you next week. 
All right.
