I'm all right, I'm all right. 15 00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:16,400 Let's see. Do I got anything? 16 00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:19,480 I don't know. No, I'm feeling pretty good 17 00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:21,160 today. I'm just kind of kind of 18 00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:23,280 relaxing. Kind of took me a bit of a sick 19 00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:26,520 day the last couple of days. So I'm kind of just here, you 20 00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:28,400 know? Fair enough, fair enough. 21 00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:30,600 I I've been doing pretty well. I've been off the past couple 22 00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:32,280 days, been enjoying it. Went and got a Christmas tree 23 00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:34,320 today. You know, preparing for all of 24 00:01:34,320 --> 00:01:38,920 that good stuff. They're not cheap, my goodness, 25 00:01:38,960 --> 00:01:43,880 but luckily I had good tips at work this week, so I was able to 26 00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:46,480 cover it with that. Patreon listeners may have 27 00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:48,840 noticed there was no Patreon section for this episode, but 28 00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:52,200 that's because it's going to be probably a long boy because not 29 00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:57,000 only do we have an RPG to talk about, but we also have the Game 30 00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:59,640 Awards. That happened last night, boys. 31 00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:04,240 And before we get into, were there any shockers of awards? 32 00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:06,760 Because I want to run through the awards and then we'll talk 33 00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:09,039 about the good stuff about what was actually announced, what 34 00:02:09,039 --> 00:02:11,280 everybody actually cares about at The Game Awards, the 35 00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:16,240 commercials. So were any of the categories 36 00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:19,240 that jumped out to you did anything that you didn't expect 37 00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:21,800 to win, win, win a category? Or do you want to run through 38 00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:23,240 and we can talk about it as we run through them? 39 00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:26,000 No, there, there is one. I just have to find it. 40 00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:29,200 I'm looking at them now. It was one that it was one that 41 00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:33,080 I see 14 one and I'm like wait a minute, wait a minute, 14 won a 42 00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:37,080 game and it's old as hell. Was that ongoing? 43 00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:40,000 Best ongoing game? I think it's best ongoing, I 44 00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:43,480 just can't find it in the. See best if you click View all 45 00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:45,640 categories. No, Best ongoing was a No Man's 46 00:02:45,640 --> 00:02:48,480 Sky. Yeah, no, it was best something 47 00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:50,120 that's community support, I think. 48 00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:52,320 No, that's the. Oldest Gate 3 got that. 49 00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:55,760 What the heck was it? It definitely won something. 50 00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:59,320 Yep.

Was it multiplayer? 53 00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:08,600 Nope, that was our graders. I don't remember what it won, 54 00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:13,520 but it won something, and I could have sworn it had 55 00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:16,360 something to do with the fact that it was like an ongoing 56 00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:18,120 game. Wow, I lost it. 57 00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:20,080 Carry on. I'm going to go through until I 58 00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:20,640 find it.

Best score in music and let. 69 00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:50,200 Me. Let me go ahead and point out 70 00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:55,040 now, all of the dev team for Claire Obscure were there in 71 00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:58,040 like the most French looking at outfits you've ever seen. 72 00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:02,240 They had on like the black horizontal stripe shirt, the 73 00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:04,360 white shirt with black stripes. What'd you do? 74 00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:07,120 OK, well, I want you to let me look at let me look at what we 75 00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:09,960 got and where we're at. I just want you to start a new 76 00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:10,800 recording. All right? 77 00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:12,280 Now I'm going to say hello, Willie. 78 00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:15,520 Did you? Did you save what you had? 79 00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:17,640 All right, yeah, it was pretty cool. 80 00:04:17,959 --> 00:04:20,760 They had like a uniform I. Think I think I'm wrong by the 81 00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:22,079 way all. Right. 82 00:04:22,079 --> 00:04:23,960 So tell me when you hit record. Hi, Willie. 83 00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:26,080 OK, now I know where to line that up. 84 00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:29,320 That's all right. So the next category was Yeah, 85 00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:32,800 Best score in music. The winner, Laurie and Testard. 86 00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:35,720 Claire Obscure, Expedition 33. Now I want to talk about the 87 00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:39,120 Claire Expedition people because they were all in these, like, 88 00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:43,240 weird white shirts with the black stripes horizontally. 89 00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:46,560 And they all had on like, red. They all looked French as fuck, 90 00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:49,400 like stereo, stereotypically French. 91 00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:51,240 And it was great. Yeah, they they were easy to 92 00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:53,080 pick out in the crowd, for sure. All right, next. 93 00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:53,480 Time. I need to. 94 00:04:53,840 --> 00:04:59,360 I need to retcon myself already. Like no, it got nominated for 95 00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:02,440 best ongoing, but No Man's Sky won. 96 00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:07,920 What I got confused on, and what actually did surprise me, was 97 00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:12,880 that Final Fantasy Tactics Evil E Chronicles won Best SIM Slash 98 00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:18,360 Strategy game. APS One Game won the Game Awards 99 00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:21,920 in 2025. Well, a remake of the PS1 game, 100 00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:23,840 but yes. Still PS1 game all. 101 00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:26,840 Right. So best in game audio and sound 102 00:05:26,840 --> 00:05:30,400 design went to Battlefield 6. Best performance went to 103 00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:33,240 Jennifer English from Clear Obscure Expedition 33. 104 00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:36,200 Three of the people from that were nominated by the way. 105 00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:39,040 Innovation and accessibility went to Doom the Dark Ages. 106 00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:40,720 Which is interesting. Willie, do you? 107 00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:42,560 Can you elaborate on what they had because I don't really 108 00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:44,680 remember. Not in particular. 109 00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:46,800 I mean, I didn't really look too deep into the accessibility 110 00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:49,960 features. I do know that it's I mean, it's 111 00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:53,240 a very much more video gamey feeling than the other ones, 112 00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:54,880 which I know sounds like a silly thing to say. 113 00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:58,120 But what I mean is like there's a lot more, you know, things 114 00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:00,360 being marked, glowing a certain color or whatever. 115 00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:03,920 So I'm sure they had a lot of like options to make color blind 116 00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:06,800 accessibility modes and stuff since one of the main game 117 00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:08,640 mechanics is definitely like a doodle. 118 00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:11,640 Shoot like 30 red shots and 1 green shot at you and you have 119 00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:13,080 to reflect the green or whatever. 120 00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:16,040 OK, yeah, that's fair enough. All right, so moving through 121 00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:18,120 games for Impact South of Midnight. 122 00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:22,520 Best ongoing No Man's Sky, Best community support, Balder's Gate 123 00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:24,400 3. Best independent game. 124 00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:29,000 Clare, Obscure, Expedition 33. Which crazy that that's an indie 125 00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:30,360 game. I did not realize that was an 126 00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:32,120 indie game. I know you were like, why did 127 00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:33,320 that win? That's not an indie game. 128 00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:35,720 We were like, yeah, it is. You were like what? 129 00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:42,360 Best debut indie game? Clare Obscure Expedition 33 Wild 130 00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:45,840 that it's their debut indie. Yeah, and outstanding 131 00:06:45,840 --> 00:06:48,680 achievement in being Clare Obscure Expedition 33. 132 00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:51,200 Yeah, right. Strangely, actually went to 133 00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:53,640 Megabonk. Yeah, yeah, the one that 134 00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:56,480 Megabonk pulled himself out of that because it wasn't. 135 00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:59,320 Yeah, so you said that they were, yeah, nominated for debut 136 00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:01,480 indie, and it turned out not to be a debut. 137 00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:03,440 So he was like, Nope, can't, I can't, I don't qualify. 138 00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:05,960 Yeah, it was a debut for the studio, but not him. 139 00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:08,280 So he was like, I don't feel like that's that's right. 140 00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:14,360 So best mobile game. I always have a problem. 141 00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:17,400 Saying pretty Derby. Pretty Derby, The Horse girl 142 00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:24,800 game for Gooners Alive Best VR The Midnight Walk best action 143 00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:28,760 game Hades 2 Best action adventure Hollow Night Silk Song 144 00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:33,360 Best RBG Clear Obscure Expedition 33 Best fighting game 145 00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:37,400 Fatal Fury City of the Wolves Best family game Donkey Kong 146 00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:39,920 Bonanza. Which that was well deserved. 147 00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:41,640 Best. It's strange that that was the 148 00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:45,440 only one without multiplayer really in it in the nominees. 149 00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:48,480 Yeah that is true but I mean Donkey Kong I don't know that 150 00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:50,680 could be an easy like pass the controller with the family type 151 00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:51,760 game. There's different 152 00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:54,400 interpretations of what family game can mean too, and that's 153 00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:55,520 definitely one of them. Yeah, true. 154 00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:59,720 Just that's been Diesel. Best SIM strategy game went to 155 00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:01,920 Final Fantasy Tactics to Eva Lease Chronicles. 156 00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:04,440 Best sports and racing game went to Mario Kart World. 157 00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:06,040 That one kind of surprised me a little bit. 158 00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:08,440 I kind of thought if Sonic Crossroads had a chance to pull 159 00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:10,240 it up set somewhere, that would have been it, yeah. 160 00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:14,000 Best multiplayer arc? Raiders best adaptation The Last 161 00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:18,040 of Us season 2 most anticipated game Grand Theft Auto 6. 162 00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:21,000 Even though all of the games on that list, I was super hyped for 163 00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:24,720 content creator of the year Charlie moist critical best 164 00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:27,480 esports game counter strike two, and I don't care about the 165 00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:29,120 esports athletes and shit. So we're going to end that 166 00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:31,800 there. Now here's what everybody really 167 00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:35,120 wants to know about, right Everything that was announced at 168 00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:38,440 the game award. We put a fire on this stick and 169 00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:40,280 let's get to it boys. So. 170 00:08:40,799 --> 00:08:42,960 All righty. The first one that they have 171 00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:49,200 listed on this IGN article is Star Wars Fate of the Old 172 00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:51,880 Republic. This is definitely a really 173 00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:55,560 interesting one because it's by the direct the original director 174 00:08:55,560 --> 00:08:57,040 of Knights of the Old Republic I believe. 175 00:08:57,040 --> 00:09:00,120 Casey Hudson, who worked on Knights of the Old Republic and 176 00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:02,640 Mass Effect. Yeah, yeah, Mass Effect too. 177 00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:06,600 So definitely who you'd want working on this, I figure. 178 00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:09,120 Yeah, it says a brand new single player narrative driven action 179 00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:12,000 RPG game set in the beloved Galaxy far, far away. 180 00:09:12,560 --> 00:09:15,960 The new game from Arkanat Studios is set across a Galaxy 181 00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:19,800 set on the brink of a rebirth, where every decision shapes your 182 00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:22,800 path towards light or darkness. And it is the spiritual 183 00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:25,160 successor to Co Tour. Which is cool. 184 00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:27,680 Yeah, that's an older game that I would really like to do for 185 00:09:27,680 --> 00:09:31,000 the show because with a couple mods it's pretty playable these 186 00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:33,600 days, and I've always heard Kotor and Kotor 2 are great. 187 00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:36,800 Yeah, I mean, it's supposed to be pretty legendary, but I don't 188 00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:39,040 know how it'll hold up today. So we'll I I can't. 189 00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:41,920 Get into them today. It's they didn't age well, but 190 00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:44,200 that's a hot take. Well they are remaking the first 191 00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:45,760 Kotor aren't they? Had not been a rumor for a 192 00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:47,120 while. I did hear that. 193 00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:49,640 So maybe that would be a good time to dive into it whenever 194 00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:51,360 they released that. Yeah. 195 00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:55,600 So there was a very large statue out in the middle of the desert 196 00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:57,320 that everyone had been pondering on. 197 00:09:57,320 --> 00:09:59,240 Like what the fuck is this thing, right? 198 00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:03,080 And to tell you the type of devs that Larian are, after they'd 199 00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:06,240 released this trailer, they went on Twitter and changed their 200 00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:09,080 header picture to the document that was released. 201 00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:13,320 That spoiled what the statue was for everybody because it was a 202 00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:16,000 fucking a trademark thing that somebody found and posted. 203 00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:17,960 So they were like, oh, it's probably divinity, it's got to 204 00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:20,000 be Divinity, blah blah blah. So anyway, there was a new 205 00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:21,920 Divinity trailer. Oh my God. 206 00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:24,680 It was. There was a lot of goo in that 207 00:10:24,680 --> 00:10:26,920 trailer, man. Just general goos. 208 00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:28,920 So Mick, were you there for that or did you come? 209 00:10:29,560 --> 00:10:33,160 I came after it. Oh, you did? 210 00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:35,560 No, you actually did. Yes, I did. 211 00:10:35,560 --> 00:10:37,720 Later on I did. I cried and came at the same 212 00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:40,040 time. It was wonderful crime. 213 00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:44,240 The The Divinity trailer just starts off with like, it looks 214 00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:46,640 like there's a festive, like a festival going on. 215 00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:50,320 And then it shows like this dude who's like chained up in 216 00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:52,160 darkness. And then you see like a little 217 00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:55,200 girl walking with her mom. Then you see an orc take a big 218 00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:58,040 swig out of his mug and then proceed to throw up onto the 219 00:10:58,040 --> 00:10:59,720 ground. And then two pigs come over and 220 00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:04,000 start to eat the vomit. The camera then goes to a woman 221 00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:07,960 having sex with either an orc or a bugbear, one of the two, while 222 00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:12,480 like a religious monk is doing the whips with like the cat of 223 00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:16,040 nine tails on his back. And then they open up this big 224 00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:18,480 giant Wicker thing. And like the Wicker man, the guy 225 00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:21,880 who strung up is in there and they set it ablaze and everybody 226 00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:23,280 starts throwing fire at it and everything. 227 00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:26,040 And he starts catching on fire. Then his beard catches fire and 228 00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:27,520 starts burning at his face and stuff. 229 00:11:27,680 --> 00:11:31,800 And there are these like bubbles that will pop up on his skin and 230 00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:35,720 burst and the blood shoots out, lands on the ground, and then 231 00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:39,120 the ground grows like these weird plants that look 232 00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:42,720 carnivorous, right? And then on his back, this big 233 00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:47,960 giant black bulb thing appears and starts growing bigger as 234 00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:51,800 he's burning and it bursts open and just this stuff starts 235 00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:55,800 shooting out and it starts like killing everybody around. 236 00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:59,880 And what's left is that big ass fucking stone that was in the 237 00:11:59,880 --> 00:12:02,240 desert and the village is just laid waste. 238 00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:05,160 There's fire everywhere, everywhere, bodies everywhere. 239 00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:08,640 The the pig still chilling there eating some stuff. 240 00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:12,480 It's just this giant ass stone and then it's just like boom, 241 00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:17,800 divinity. And I was like, holy shit, what 242 00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:21,160 a fucking cinematic that was. And we were all like God. 243 00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:25,000 That was grotesque. I mean they did probably a 244 00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:28,960 trailer that they can only do with the game Awards. 245 00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:32,200 Oh yes, yeah, this was a red band trailer. 246 00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:34,440 In fact, I think Willy, was it you that said that? 247 00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:37,200 All of them were basically just running their red band trailers. 248 00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:40,400 Yeah, I use the that those exact words, Yeah, 'cause the the show 249 00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:43,200 opened up with like a, you know, this may contain offensive 250 00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:45,400 warning, viewer discretion advice type thing. 251 00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:47,480 And I'm like, OK, they, they, they meant it. 252 00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:54,200 Yeah, yeah, I think JP from Drop Frames put it best on Twitter. 253 00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:56,800 Man, that Divinity trailer was fucking nasty. 254 00:12:56,880 --> 00:13:01,520 I am so in. So it looks really, really cool. 255 00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:05,600 So then we also got a a new Resident Evil Requiems Resident 256 00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:11,600 Evil 9 trailer where it was revealed that Leon S Kennedy 257 00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:14,360 will be in the game as a playable character alongside 258 00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:16,760 Grace Ashcroft. Yeah, apparently the concept is 259 00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:19,440 that Leon's going to get kind of the action he scenes and Grace 260 00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:22,320 is going to have more of like the traditional survival horror 261 00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:24,400 mechanics. Getting back to the divinity, 262 00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:25,800 why did they burn this guy again? 263 00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:27,800 It wasn't explained, it wasn't explained. 264 00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:29,160 So I think, are you watching the trailer? 265 00:13:29,560 --> 00:13:33,320 Yeah. I think he's just like an evil 266 00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:34,720 wizard or something. I like that. 267 00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:36,760 I'm not really sure. Maybe they just had to get the 268 00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:39,040 nasty goo out of him. Yeah, yeah. 269 00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:41,760 Or it could have been like a ritual sacrifice, I'm not really 270 00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:43,480 sure. Everyone around seemed really 271 00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:46,240 happy about it so. I was getting some serious yeah, 272 00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:49,960 like Sodom and Gomorrah vibes. Very disturbing. 273 00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:51,400 Yeah, it's a wild ass trailer, dude. 274 00:13:51,560 --> 00:13:53,600 It's wild. But resident. 275 00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:55,480 Even. Are you sure the guy's even 276 00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:57,600 dead? No, he he definitely is alive 277 00:13:57,600 --> 00:13:59,760 when they light him on fire. No, I know, but I mean 278 00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:02,080 afterwards at the end. I'm not even sure that was an 279 00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:04,000 actual person, man. Yeah, it might have been a 280 00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:05,960 demon. This raises more questions than 281 00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:08,040 answers. I mean, there's another trailer. 282 00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:11,800 There's another trailer later on that literally saw Mephisto the 283 00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:14,440 Devil burst out of a man. That's true, yeah. 284 00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:17,800 But yeah, Resident Evil 9 looks fucking sweet. 285 00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:19,480 I can't wait to play as Leon again. 286 00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:20,680 That's going to be really, really cool. 287 00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:22,800 And it just reminds me that I need to play Resident Evil 8. 288 00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:25,120 It's very, very popular. I mean, when it came out, it was 289 00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:27,800 very talked about. For sure OK my. 290 00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:31,800 Voice sucks today. So the next two announcements 291 00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:33,760 literally had tears in my eyes, right? 292 00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:36,320 And I want to, and then I want to talk about a moment from 293 00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:39,040 today with this. So then they announced first 294 00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:41,400 Tomb Raider Catalyst and I got to set the stage. 295 00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:44,520 The trailer starts and I go, is this Tomb Raider? 296 00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:48,160 Fuck, It's not Tomb Raider. And at the same time, me and 297 00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:51,720 Willie see a little monkey and we both go monkey, maybe it is 298 00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:53,360 Tomb Raider. Oh shit. 299 00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:56,280 And then we see a silhouette of a woman and I'm like, it fucking 300 00:14:56,280 --> 00:15:00,400 has Tomb Raider. So 2026 marks the return of Lara 301 00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:02,640 Croft in a big way. As she is, we'll be embarking on 302 00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:04,320 a reimagining. Oh, we'll touch on that in a 303 00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:06,920 second. And in 2027, she will be 304 00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:10,120 starring in a brand new game called Tomb Raider Catalyst. 305 00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:13,440 And the new game is set in the wake of a mythical cataclysm 306 00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:15,720 that has unleashed ancient secrets and awakened to the 307 00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:17,520 mysterious forces that guard them. 308 00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:19,840 When the most notorious treasure hunters from around the world 309 00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:22,600 descend in the region, Laura races to uncover the truth 310 00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:26,400 behind, or excuse me, buried beneath the fractured landscape 311 00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:29,000 and stopped those who would use its power for their own gain. 312 00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:32,240 As the ancient worlds collides with the present, Laura must 313 00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:34,600 decide who to trust among rivals and allies to prevent a 314 00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:37,360 catastrophe and protect a secret that can reshape the future. 315 00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:42,400 That is classic Tomb Raider bullshit and I fucking I am here 316 00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:44,360 for it right not. A. 317 00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:47,280 Pretty realistic Tomb Raider. No? 318 00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:50,080 That bitch needs to go for some treasure and end up saving the 319 00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:51,800 world somehow. Like that is Tomb Raider. 320 00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:57,600 So I'm already hyped about that. Like it says, it comes up, it 321 00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:01,120 says 2027 and I'm super happy. And then suddenly like I'm 322 00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:03,560 talking and Blitz, I hear Blitz or Willie. 323 00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:05,960 It was one of the two go, oh, there's the green shirt you were 324 00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:08,560 looking for. And my eyes shoot back up and 325 00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:11,880 I'm looking at old Laura. Not old Laura, but like old 326 00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:15,520 school Laura and the outfit, the shorts and the dual pistols. 327 00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:18,120 And she starts running through and they start talking about 328 00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:20,560 remembering and, and things like this. 329 00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:23,560 And I'm like, what is going on with this dude? 330 00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:28,840 And then at the the very end it shows this ancient looking door 331 00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:31,040 in a mountain. And my brain immediately was 332 00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:35,120 like, oh fuck, that's the very beginning of the first game 333 00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:37,360 because Laura jumps down and you end up having to fight some 334 00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:39,520 wolves. And then it just popped up Tomb 335 00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:42,640 Raider reimagine reimagining or whatever the fuck it is. 336 00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:44,800 And I was like, I got goosebumps, right? 337 00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:48,040 Now Atlantis. Legacy of Atlantis, yes. 338 00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:53,840 Yes, earlier in the in the chat when we were all on voice chat, 339 00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:58,080 I think it was blitzy. Was like we need Green shirt 340 00:16:58,080 --> 00:16:59,840 Lara Croft. Bring back Green shirt, Lara 341 00:16:59,840 --> 00:17:02,720 Croft. That was literally, maybe it was 342 00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:06,040 Blitz, actually, yeah. Literally 30, literally 30 343 00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:08,599 seconds later.

And so the moment from today. 346 00:17:14,599 --> 00:17:16,839 So my dad was asleep last night when I went to go show him 347 00:17:16,839 --> 00:17:19,359 because growing up, my dad and me played the Tomb Raider games 348 00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:20,800 together. All of the PlayStation One 349 00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:22,400 games, we had them and played them. 350 00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:26,079 So I pulled up the trailer for Catalyst and showed him that. 351 00:17:26,839 --> 00:17:28,920 And he was like, oh man, this, this looks pretty cool. 352 00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:31,640 And then that moment when she was on like that ledge and she's 353 00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:34,720 holding on to it and it raises up and you see that shot where 354 00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:37,800 like it raises up really high and all the other ones come up. 355 00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:40,560 And then the camera pans and you just see this massive map. 356 00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:43,840 My dad went, Oh my God, dude, look at that. 357 00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:47,800 And then I said, yeah. And then it fades and says 2027. 358 00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:50,160 And I said, and then it went right into this and I flipped 359 00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:52,440 over to the the other trailer. Oh, he must have. 360 00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:55,080 He must have lost it. And I started playing it for 361 00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:57,800 him. And like 20 seconds into the 362 00:17:57,800 --> 00:18:00,200 trailer, I'm looking at him. He's like, I feel like these 363 00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:02,640 look familiar. I said, this is a remake of Tomb 364 00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:05,840 Raider 1. And his face was just, it just 365 00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:08,600 lit up. And he was like in awe. 366 00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:12,000 And he was like, dude, I cannot wait to play these. 367 00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:14,640 Oh my God. Yeah, man, Yeah, man. 368 00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:15,680 We're going to fucking play them. 369 00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:18,680 All right, So I am super hyped for that. 370 00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:21,640 Tomb Raider is back, baby. And I want to point out 371 00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:24,560 something that we did notice in the trailer for Legacy of 372 00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:27,440 Atlantis. The dinosaurs have been updated 373 00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:29,680 for accuracy because they're all feathered. 374 00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:31,800 And yes, the Tyrannosaurus is back, baby. 375 00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:33,280 That was a. Very exciting to see. 376 00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:35,880 Yeah, they no longer look like Jurassic Park dinosaurs. 377 00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:38,280 They do kind of look like the current scientific consensus, 378 00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:40,000 but they still look pretty badass. 379 00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:42,760 They didn't like, they don't. They look, they look pretty 380 00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:44,040 badass. That's all I'm going to say. 381 00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:47,440 I was definitely the most hype for this, but when the T Rex 382 00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:48,840 came on screen, all of us cheered. 383 00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:51,480 Yeah. We were all like, yeah. 384 00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:53,960 Even joking about a bit, a little bit like yo bring back 385 00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:56,440 the T Rex. And they brought back the T Rex. 386 00:18:57,040 --> 00:19:00,520 All right, so the next one, all of a sudden the stage goes dark. 387 00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:02,680 Let me let me go ahead and say 01 second. 388 00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:06,240 We haven't touched on it yet. The production on this show was 389 00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:08,800 top fucking notch. Yeah, there were a lot of really 390 00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:11,440 cool things that they did with like cross media stuff that I 391 00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:13,560 thought was really fascinating. And I think that that's actually 392 00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:16,160 about where we're about to go. Into this was one of them. 393 00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:20,200 All of a sudden this dude just lowers down from wires and 394 00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:23,360 starts contorting his body in the way that he's angled. 395 00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:25,520 Again, Willie, I think you were the first one that was like 396 00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:28,080 control. It looks like when somebody gets 397 00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:29,560 pulled up by the hush and control. 398 00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:32,640 And then as soon as you said that, Jesse appears on the 399 00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:36,160 screen like looking like she's holding the dude floating's 400 00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:38,000 head. And then it starts doing all 401 00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:40,480 kinds of weird shit. He starts contorting even more. 402 00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:42,720 And then everything goes black and suddenly we're watching a 403 00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:45,560 trailer for Control Resonant, which is the second Control 404 00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:47,480 game. And again, I was like, yeah, 405 00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:52,360 fucking yes, dude. Remedy does no wrong in my 406 00:19:52,360 --> 00:19:54,120 opinion. Ever since they did Max Payne 407 00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:57,480 back in the day. Like they have earned my my love 408 00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:00,200 with every game. That's kind of one of those 409 00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:02,120 companies that only shows up when they actually have 410 00:20:02,120 --> 00:20:03,880 something to say too, you know what I mean? 411 00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:06,920 Like all of their games have a purpose to them. 412 00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:08,640 Yeah. And it's weird how, like with 413 00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:11,880 Alan Wake and Control, they've almost weaved them together to 414 00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:15,080 where it's like, yeah, those worlds live within one another. 415 00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:17,840 Which I'm going to need to play those games. 416 00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:20,280 So I actually understand more about that because brother, I 417 00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:22,720 didn't even finish Control. And I'm looking forward to doing 418 00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:26,040 Alan Wake too, you know? Yeah, Alan Wake is on my list. 419 00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:28,240 It's on my short list. The first one, I think I have it 420 00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:29,680 on GOG, so that would make that easy. 421 00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:33,360 Alan Wake 2, I think, is still an Epic Store exclusive. 422 00:20:33,360 --> 00:20:36,360 OK, but we'll figure that out when that day comes because we 423 00:20:36,360 --> 00:20:38,000 got some other games to play before we get to there. 424 00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:42,040 That we do. But yeah dude, Control 2 super 425 00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:45,000 fucking good. Mikhailov control is scary but 426 00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:47,920 like not horror. Does that make sense? 427 00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:50,360 Like X-Files, It's X-Files scary. 428 00:20:50,360 --> 00:20:52,440 Yeah, it's weird. It's X-Files like basically. 429 00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:56,720 So like not like jump scare scary, but like you're gonna 430 00:20:56,960 --> 00:20:59,960 you're gonna be like that. That's fucking tweak scary. 431 00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:02,400 Yeah, like there are a couple of noises and stuff in it, but it's 432 00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:06,040 not like that for the most part. It's a lot more like a lot of 433 00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:09,040 environmental stuff, a lot of just really unpredictable and 434 00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:11,000 crazy stuff. And it's a lot of atmosphere, 435 00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:12,440 too. OK. 436 00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:16,400 A lot of atmosphere. Yeah, like they, they spend a 437 00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:18,120 lot of time writing the setting on this. 438 00:21:18,120 --> 00:21:20,160 You can tell. Like there's just so many little 439 00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:23,920 details that are really cool. I could be convinced. 440 00:21:24,120 --> 00:21:27,400 Also there's some odes to SCPS in it as well. 441 00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:30,040 Oh yeah, it's definitely very SCP influenced. 442 00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:33,080 I mean, I don't know if it's if it's not a direct influence, it 443 00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:36,000 just happens to be the best SCP game by accident. 444 00:21:36,120 --> 00:21:37,480 Yeah, 100%. Dude. 445 00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:40,800 It, there's a refrigerator that a dude is guarding that he 446 00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:42,520 cannot look away and he can't blink. 447 00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:44,920 And he's been staring at this thing for like 30 minutes and 448 00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:47,160 his eyes are killing him. And you're just trying to 449 00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:49,680 convince him not to blink until you can get in there. 450 00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:56,760 But you know, it's not a happy game anyway, so the spiritual 451 00:21:56,760 --> 00:22:00,840 successor to Returnal got a trailer Soros, which was that 452 00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:03,560 third person space game that suddenly looked like a bullet 453 00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:05,360 hell. Yeah, that was interesting. 454 00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:07,960 It looked really fun man. It made me be like, maybe I 455 00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:11,160 should check out Returnal because Returnal is at its core 456 00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:14,200 a rogue light game. Interesting, because you're 457 00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:16,080 doing runs over and over and over and over. 458 00:22:16,360 --> 00:22:18,400 People don't really just don't know anything about it, but I. 459 00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:20,880 Love that game. Yeah, I've heard good things. 460 00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:23,240 It's beautiful. That game looks really good. 461 00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:27,080 And so did this Soros game. Yeah, it was really lovely. 462 00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:29,280 Like one of the things we kept noticing was just like the. 463 00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:31,640 I mean, a lot of it also is probably that they aren't 464 00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:34,600 necessarily, you know, the actual graphics they're going to 465 00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:37,640 ship with, but are like Unreal Engine 5 pre renders and stuff. 466 00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:40,520 But a lot of games have just way better looking like realistic 467 00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:42,920 humans than they had just a couple years ago, it feels like. 468 00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:45,400 Yeah. Yeah, I'm, I commented on that 469 00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:48,480 at some point. I was like, I was like, wow, why 470 00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:51,960 did this look way too realistic? I mean, I understand we're 471 00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:56,560 living in 2025, but I remember think looking at Xbox 360 472 00:22:56,560 --> 00:22:59,480 graphics and thinking, wow, those humans look very 473 00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:01,880 realistic. They look even more realistic. 474 00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:03,600 Yeah. But you, you know what? 475 00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:07,520 You know what I'm talking about? Like those 360 era, like you 476 00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:11,160 could tell it's a video game, but you can also believe that 477 00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:12,840 those were real people kind of thing. 478 00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:14,600 Yeah. And what, there was more detail 479 00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:17,600 every time to where it's like individual blades of grass would 480 00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:20,560 start moving and people be like, oh, that kind of thing, you 481 00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:22,080 know? Do you remember water 482 00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:26,000 refraction? The the trailer for Ghosts of 483 00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:29,600 Sushima when that first came out and it was the dude walking 484 00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:32,760 through the the field and then he got into the area with all of 485 00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:36,800 the cherry blossom petals and every time he would move, they 486 00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:41,600 would just, yes, dude, at that point I was like, this is the 487 00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:44,560 epitome of graphics. And that's almost standard now 488 00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:47,480 and really big games like that. It's fucking wild, man. 489 00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:50,320 I remember thinking Super Nintendo or the epitome of 490 00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:51,480 graphics. Yeah. 491 00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:53,880 I I meant me too with the PlayStation one and two. 492 00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:57,320 Yeah, surely nothing will ever get better than Smackdown versus 493 00:23:57,320 --> 00:24:00,400 Raw 2006. Like holy shit, these guys look 494 00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:04,840 just like their wrestling up. So they also showed new 30 495 00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:08,040 seconds of the Super Mario Galaxy movie. 496 00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:09,880 I missed. That's fun, that. 497 00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:11,480 Was which was after. I left. 498 00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:14,560 It was OK. Yeah, these, this review is a 499 00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:17,240 little bit out of order, so you might be hearing some you caught 500 00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:19,120 and some you didn't, so. Yeah, that's fine. 501 00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:22,240 That's fine, Luigi. That that is something I will go 502 00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:24,440 back and check later because I'm hyped for that movie. 503 00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:26,760 Luigi throws a sweet knee. Yeah, he. 504 00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:29,560 Gives a little shining wizard to Bowser Junior or whatever. 505 00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:31,600 And then starts rubbing his knee afterwards like. 506 00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:36,040 It's pretty good. Classic classic Jackie Chan 507 00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:38,280 physical action comedy bit. Bowser. 508 00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:39,760 Oh wait. Luigi rubs his knee. 509 00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:42,360 He does like the Peter Griffin. Yeah, well, no, he's still 510 00:24:42,360 --> 00:24:44,240 standing up. He doesn't just laying down and 511 00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:46,760 suffering or anything, but yeah. Yeah, he's just standing there. 512 00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:49,440 Like hell yeah. Then just goes ah and rubs his 513 00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:51,400 knee. It was very much like what 514 00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:53,760 Jackie Chan would do with like the physical comedy in a lot of 515 00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:56,000 his action movies. I mean, to be fair, I think it's 516 00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:58,360 also something Luigi would do. Exactly. 517 00:24:58,360 --> 00:24:59,520 It worked really well with the character. 518 00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:02,320 It was very, very awesome. So and they brought, they 519 00:25:02,360 --> 00:25:04,880 brought everybody back. Like Charlie Day is still yeah, 520 00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:06,080 voicing. Yeah. 521 00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:11,800 Yeah, so they had this one trailer and they were like going 522 00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:14,280 through this thing. We were all thinking like, what 523 00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:16,920 the fuck could this be? And then I don't remember the 524 00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:21,200 code that was there, but one of you saw it and was like, oh, I 525 00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:26,200 think this might be Mega Man. And the chamber slowly opens and 526 00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:29,600 you see the silhouette and we're all like, fuck, it is Mega Man. 527 00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:32,040 And so immediately I'm hyped because I fucking love Mega Man. 528 00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:36,680 And yeah, Mega Man will be making his grand return in 2027 529 00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:40,880 with Mega Man Dual Override, a 2D side scroller that Harkins 530 00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:44,200 back to the Blue Bombers origins while carving a new path 531 00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:46,800 forward. So what does that mean? 532 00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:51,160 Is it like are we talking old? It's the, it's like 3D, the the 533 00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:53,880 what we used to call 2 1/2 D where you have the 3D graphics 534 00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:57,200 with the 2D gameplay. Yeah, so it looks new, but it 535 00:25:57,200 --> 00:26:00,320 plays like old Mega Man, OK, instead of like. 536 00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:02,760 Like, but like, it's not, it's not like it's. 537 00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:05,880 Not like Mega Man 9 or 10 where they deliberately went back to 538 00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:08,360 the original pixel art style. No, no, no, no. 539 00:26:08,360 --> 00:26:11,040 That's not what I'm asking. Are like we gonna see the old 540 00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:15,120 bosses or the old Robot Masters? Or are we looking at might be 541 00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:17,160 original content? Yeah. 542 00:26:18,120 --> 00:26:20,520 Yeah, I mean, it looked so far, it looked like they were going 543 00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:22,240 back to the style, but you know what I mean? 544 00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:24,000 Like it. I don't think it's a retelling 545 00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:25,600 of any of the original games or whatever. 546 00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:29,000 Yeah. OK, but the day before this 547 00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:34,320 conference I did see a post that said that Capcom is wanting to 548 00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:36,600 run with Mega Man as one of its flagship series. 549 00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:39,160 Like it that has with like Street Fighter and a few others 550 00:26:39,360 --> 00:26:41,080 and I'm like fuck yeah dude. Because I have some friends that 551 00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:43,600 are really, really into Mega Man and I want to see them get like 552 00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:46,960 Mega Man Legends 3 or like our Mega Man Legends remake or 553 00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:50,160 something along those. Lines, dude, they have they have 554 00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:52,080 the finish Game Boy Advance game. 555 00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:54,160 Just freaking release it. Yeah dude. 556 00:26:55,120 --> 00:26:58,080 It's it's it's interesting. But yeah, so fingers crossed 557 00:26:58,160 --> 00:27:02,360 that more Mega Man to come. Lego Batman Legacy of The Dark 558 00:27:02,360 --> 00:27:06,520 Knight got a release date so this looks really quirky and fun 559 00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:09,440 playing through the Christian Bale movies but Lego style. 560 00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:13,080 I liked that. That looks like it's going to 561 00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:15,240 be. Fun and in true Lego game 562 00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:17,080 fashion, it looked like they made it to where you can play as 563 00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:20,040 like kind of all the different incarnations of the characters. 564 00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:23,400 Like if you want to dress Batman up like it's 1966, no problem. 565 00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:27,080 Robin was very clearly showing his, you know, really bright 566 00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:30,560 outfit from like Batman, Batman Forever I think. 567 00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:34,960 Yeah, when Robin dropped a quip like he would from 60s Batman, 568 00:27:35,120 --> 00:27:37,760 Yeah, serious Batman looked at him and goes, we don't do that. 569 00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:42,320 Like she was so funny, we don't do that. 570 00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:45,160 It was just, oh, great. So that is coming out May 29th, 571 00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:48,400 2026 and I know my buddy that I work with, Nate, is hyped for 572 00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:50,200 that. Not, not Nate, the other 573 00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:52,200 destructor. Bro different Nate not not the 574 00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:53,360 other destructor Bro, this is no. 575 00:27:53,360 --> 00:27:54,960 That guy died. This is work, Nate. 576 00:27:55,080 --> 00:27:57,720 He didn't die, he's just his freedom did. 577 00:27:57,800 --> 00:28:00,640 He was at the with watching about half the Game Awards show 578 00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:01,480 with us. It was pretty cool. 579 00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:05,040 Yeah, he was. They revealed the next Diablo 4 580 00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:07,600 expansion, which is Lord of Hatred, and that was where we 581 00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:10,080 saw Mephisto burst from a man's back. 582 00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:11,880 It's pretty intense and apparently. 583 00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:16,480 They're also releasing a paladin character class like immediately 584 00:28:16,680 --> 00:28:19,840 in in preparation for it, so yeah, that looks pretty sick. 585 00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:22,760 There are two new classes. I don't think they've announced 586 00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:25,840 to the second one, but the first one is Paladin and I think it 587 00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:28,840 was available I think today or it was available last night, but 588 00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:31,440 I saw today there was like a 26 gigabyte update, so I'm assuming 589 00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:34,760 that's that's some new shit so. They they had to put the pal and 590 00:28:34,760 --> 00:28:37,440 the din in there. But that was another brutal, 591 00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:40,760 gory fucking trailer. Yeah, there was a lot of juice 592 00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:42,360 in it. It's funny because like, I'm so 593 00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:44,520 used to thinking of Diablo as kind of an old school game that 594 00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:47,480 I forgot that at the time Diablo was a a little bit controversial 595 00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:49,680 too, you know? Yeah, OG Diablo. 596 00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:50,960 Oh yeah, dude, this. Game. 597 00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:53,800 That's why Satan. Yeah, yeah, OG Diablo is 598 00:28:53,800 --> 00:28:58,120 controversial as hell for like, even how graphically inferior it 599 00:28:58,120 --> 00:29:01,360 is today. Yeah, but you could sure spill a 600 00:29:01,360 --> 00:29:03,480 whole heck of a lot of demon blood in that game. 601 00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:06,640 I was pleasantly surprised when we went back to it for the show. 602 00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:09,880 Listen, Nintendo. Nintendo games were 603 00:29:09,880 --> 00:29:15,640 controversial because back then parents saw Nintendo and video 604 00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:18,880 games is an addiction. Yeah, and Diablo didn't help 605 00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:21,320 with that when I met. Nope, not even a little bit. 606 00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:23,880 If anybody said anything to me about playing Diablo, I would 607 00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:28,160 tell them the point of this game is to kill the devil and you can 608 00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:30,680 play as a holy man. Like, I think even Sandy 609 00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:33,440 Peterson said that about doom when people asked if they 610 00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:36,280 thought it course conflicted with his Mormon faith. 611 00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:39,200 You know, he's like, you're just shooting the devil. 612 00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:41,360 What are you talking? About right? 613 00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:44,480 To kill the devil, you're not worshipping him in any way. 614 00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:48,400 Up. So this might not be up next in 615 00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:50,720 the list. Something that I was very 616 00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:53,480 skeptical about until I saw this trailer. 617 00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:55,960 And now I have the utmost faith that this is going to be the 618 00:29:55,960 --> 00:29:59,080 most ridiculous good time. And that is the Street Fighter 619 00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:00,960 movie. I will say that the cast's 620 00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:03,720 energy impressed me. They were just out there really 621 00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:06,360 seeming like they got along and were there to have a great time. 622 00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:09,520 Yeah, they brought out the whole ass cast like Cody Rhodes, Roman 623 00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:12,000 Reigns, Jason Momoa. We finally put the rest that 624 00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:14,040 Jason Momoa and Roman Reigns are two different guys. 625 00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:17,480 They were on stage together. Wasn't your, wasn't your. 626 00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:22,680 Mama, my mother sitting right next to me and she loves her 627 00:30:22,680 --> 00:30:25,640 some Jason Momoa and she loves her some Roman Reigns, so she 628 00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:29,240 was very happy. Lilith, my pup, was in here and 629 00:30:29,240 --> 00:30:31,160 she's got a fascination with Cody Rhodes. 630 00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:33,520 Like anytime it's just him on the screen, she will look at the 631 00:30:33,520 --> 00:30:35,240 screen until he's off the screen. 632 00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:41,080 When I'm watching wrestling. It's adorable and she was happy 633 00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:44,120 because Cody was on screen. I will say definitely the the 634 00:30:44,120 --> 00:30:47,640 dude that played Zengeef is the most Zengeef looking dude I've 635 00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:50,880 ever seen in my life. Apparently he's some 7 foot 2 636 00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:56,040 Dutch bodybuilder and my God he is just more man than you would 637 00:30:56,040 --> 00:30:59,800 expect to be realistic. Like, you know, like like like 638 00:30:59,800 --> 00:31:01,680 half Thor. Bjornsen is way too big to be 639 00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:04,240 possible. He's like that but amplified. 640 00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:06,920 It's crazy. Oh, the funny part about that is 641 00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:12,000 that when I when I saw that trailer and I saw Zangief come 642 00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:14,680 out, all I thought about was that one part from Wreck It 643 00:31:14,680 --> 00:31:19,640 Ralph where Zangief is like I crush man's skull between 644 00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:22,640 thighs. But I am not bad guy. 645 00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:24,800 I'm a bad guy. I am not a bad guy. 646 00:31:25,320 --> 00:31:28,080 I love Wreck it Ralph. They didn't make a third one. 647 00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:31,320 My moms comment about that guy was now that's big boy that's. 648 00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:34,120 About all you did say. Very. 649 00:31:34,120 --> 00:31:36,320 Accurate. I need to meet your mom. 650 00:31:37,320 --> 00:31:38,480 Yeah, dude, I think, I think you would. 651 00:31:38,560 --> 00:31:41,160 I think everybody listening would like my mom and my dad. 652 00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:43,800 My dad can be slightly annoying when he's drunk, but when he's 653 00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:45,960 not he's really fun. Who can, who isn't? 654 00:31:46,480 --> 00:31:49,000 Here's the part that sold me and Willie. 655 00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:51,400 I think it sold us both at the same time. 656 00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:57,120 Yeah, yeah, they included in the movie The fucking car stage. 657 00:31:57,280 --> 00:31:59,680 Yeah, I think. He can like, kick the hood off 658 00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:01,520 of the car and like, yeah, we're good. 659 00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:03,360 We're good here. This is going to be fun. 660 00:32:03,360 --> 00:32:06,600 It's like. Oh my God, this gives me so much 661 00:32:06,600 --> 00:32:08,960 hope that we can take this and set it next to like Mortal 662 00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:12,880 Kombat and be like rest peacefully as some of the good 663 00:32:13,040 --> 00:32:15,280 movies. Even though I know people love 664 00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:17,800 the Old Street Fighter movie, but that one's so bad it's good. 665 00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:21,160 This one looks like it's going to be good, but it also could be 666 00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:23,880 so bad it's good. And purposefully though this 667 00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:26,080 time. A lot of different ways it it 668 00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:27,200 doesn't. The point is, it looks like 669 00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:29,400 they're going to have fun with it, and that that definitely 670 00:32:29,400 --> 00:32:31,200 matters. Yeah, and if they're having fun, 671 00:32:31,200 --> 00:32:32,960 I feel like the people watching will also have fun. 672 00:32:33,160 --> 00:32:35,120 Yeah. Like, because it's like, that's 673 00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:37,720 kind of the same feeling I got about like the new, the newer 674 00:32:37,720 --> 00:32:40,200 Mortal Kombat movie. Like the action choreography in 675 00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:42,720 it, you could tell that they were like, OK, let's just make 676 00:32:42,720 --> 00:32:44,160 this shit. Awesome. 677 00:32:44,680 --> 00:32:47,000 Yeah, I still need to see that. I still really want to watch the 678 00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:47,240 new. Movie. 679 00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:50,560 I've genuinely only seen the fight scenes and I've been told 680 00:32:50,560 --> 00:32:52,600 by some people that that's probably the best way to watch 681 00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:57,560 it. Seeing Cody Rhodes as guile was 682 00:32:57,640 --> 00:33:01,160 was fun. That was an experience. 683 00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:04,400 I'm I'm not sure what to think of it because I don't know how 684 00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:07,920 old I imagined guile in my head, but Cody is a little over that. 685 00:33:08,680 --> 00:33:11,800 Yeah, I think Cody is, what, 40? I think he's almost exactly 40. 686 00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:15,760 Yeah, I just, I kept thinking of Jean. 687 00:33:16,280 --> 00:33:17,800 Claude von Dam. Jean, thank you. 688 00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:21,160 Thank you, Jean Claude Van. I saw the name enter and leave 689 00:33:21,160 --> 00:33:23,280 your your mind. It was so fascinating. 690 00:33:23,680 --> 00:33:27,400 Physically, physically left literally, I saw it like get 691 00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:29,840 halfway between your eyes and then go away somehow. 692 00:33:30,040 --> 00:33:31,880 It was crazy. Yeah. 693 00:33:32,200 --> 00:33:33,280 Yeah, exactly. I. 694 00:33:33,280 --> 00:33:36,200 Sneezed it out. It was only a really quick 695 00:33:36,200 --> 00:33:40,760 glimpse of Roman as Akuma, and I don't even know if we got to see 696 00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:45,000 Jason as Blanca, but yeah, that's going to be a that's 697 00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:46,720 going to be a fun ass movies. It really is. 698 00:33:46,840 --> 00:33:49,240 Yeah. Another thing that got me super 699 00:33:49,240 --> 00:33:51,600 hyped because I just bought the old version of it the other day 700 00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:55,520 on GOG. Star Wars Galactic Racer. 701 00:33:55,600 --> 00:33:58,920 We got a new pod racer, boys. Yeah, that, I don't know if it's 702 00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:01,000 just how. Racing either it looked like it 703 00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:04,960 was like pod racers versus land speeders and kind of everyone 704 00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:06,880 just getting out there and doing some runs. 705 00:34:06,880 --> 00:34:09,719 So it looked pretty interesting, like it definitely had the 706 00:34:09,719 --> 00:34:11,440 spirit of pod racing from the movie. 707 00:34:11,440 --> 00:34:15,040 I felt like with like, you know, it's it's grimy in a little 708 00:34:15,040 --> 00:34:16,560 danger. Like I don't know about you 709 00:34:16,560 --> 00:34:17,840 guys. I thought pod racing was like 710 00:34:17,840 --> 00:34:21,280 the most like grimy and old school Star Wars, part of the 711 00:34:21,280 --> 00:34:23,600 prequel trilogy. You know, like it felt 712 00:34:23,840 --> 00:34:25,679 gladiatorial in a really fun way. 713 00:34:25,840 --> 00:34:28,080 Here's the quick description. For one, it comes from the 714 00:34:28,080 --> 00:34:29,840 makers of Burnout and Need for Speed. 715 00:34:29,960 --> 00:34:33,679 Yeah, so they have racing in their blood, right? 716 00:34:34,480 --> 00:34:37,960 It takes place in a Galaxy where the Empire is gone and a new 717 00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:41,360 galactic league has formed. This league is an underground, 718 00:34:41,679 --> 00:34:45,080 unsanctioned circuit where Syndicate's bankroll, chaos and 719 00:34:45,080 --> 00:34:49,320 champions are forged. No force, no prophecy, just 720 00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:53,120 skill, strategy and the will to rise. 721 00:34:53,199 --> 00:34:55,920 So then we got a really weird ass trailer that was cool. 722 00:34:56,600 --> 00:35:01,520 Phantom Blade Zero and it is described as Kung Fu punk that 723 00:35:01,880 --> 00:35:03,400 was. Something, yeah. 724 00:35:04,200 --> 00:35:07,280 Pragmata, which is the the game with the weird little girl robot 725 00:35:07,640 --> 00:35:10,080 that had the cool interface.

I liked that it it was a really 732 00:35:25,960 --> 00:35:27,880 cool looking. It's just a good visual design 733 00:35:27,880 --> 00:35:30,400 there. So then we got announced Toshi 734 00:35:30,400 --> 00:35:33,000 Hero in the Goshi's new game game. 735 00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:35,600 This, this hyped me up. This really hyped. 736 00:35:35,600 --> 00:35:37,520 Oh yeah. Gang of Dragon I love the 737 00:35:37,520 --> 00:35:40,160 description of this Gang of Dragon is Toshi hero in the 738 00:35:40,160 --> 00:35:42,640 Goshi's new game and it sure looks like Yakuza. 739 00:35:43,640 --> 00:35:45,440 Yeah. I mean, when it ended on the 740 00:35:45,440 --> 00:35:49,320 shot of the actual Kabuki show sign, which like directly like 741 00:35:49,400 --> 00:35:51,800 it looks so much like the gateway from Kamarocho because 742 00:35:51,800 --> 00:35:53,840 it's what inspired it in the first place, you know? 743 00:35:54,160 --> 00:35:56,480 Yeah, I was gonna say this article even says that the 744 00:35:56,480 --> 00:35:59,560 trailer ends with the iconic sign that marks the real life 745 00:35:59,560 --> 00:36:03,040 entrance to Caboquicho. Kabukicho, yeah. 746 00:36:03,560 --> 00:36:06,200 The inspiration for Kamarocho. So that's awesome, dude. 747 00:36:06,240 --> 00:36:08,280 So we're going to be in real life Japan beating some ass. 748 00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:11,400 And the guy who was doing the ass beating was apparently like 749 00:36:11,640 --> 00:36:15,520 a really popular recent times like Korean TV action movie or 750 00:36:15,520 --> 00:36:18,880 action show actor who I saw some people just really hyped to see 751 00:36:18,880 --> 00:36:20,720 him but I've already forgot his name because I'm terrible. 752 00:36:20,840 --> 00:36:23,680 Yeah, we, we called him Asian Samoa Joe because he's built 753 00:36:23,680 --> 00:36:25,920 like Samoa Joe. He's just jacked, but not. 754 00:36:25,920 --> 00:36:27,400 He was a very similar Joe Size guy. 755 00:36:27,440 --> 00:36:28,520 Yeah, yeah. You know what I mean? 756 00:36:28,520 --> 00:36:29,720 He's just big. Yeah. 757 00:36:30,040 --> 00:36:32,000 Like wouldn't want to fuck with that guy. 758 00:36:33,520 --> 00:36:36,080 Yeah. So can you, can you clarify 759 00:36:36,080 --> 00:36:37,240 something for me? Sure. 760 00:36:37,720 --> 00:36:43,720 So is this somebody, somebody who is like the original creator 761 00:36:43,720 --> 00:36:46,560 of the Yakuza series and doesn't do them anymore? 762 00:36:46,680 --> 00:36:48,520 Yeah. Yeah. 763 00:36:49,160 --> 00:36:52,480 Yeah, he he left Rio Gagatoku. OK. 764 00:36:53,240 --> 00:36:57,480 Found his new studio about. Is that, is that because, is 765 00:36:57,480 --> 00:37:00,000 that because he didn't like Ryakuza was going or like a 766 00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:02,560 Dragon was going? I don't know, I feel like he 767 00:37:02,560 --> 00:37:04,440 just wanted to do his own thing if I remember right. 768 00:37:04,440 --> 00:37:07,320 Let me look it up. I think Toshi Hero Nagoshi is 769 00:37:07,320 --> 00:37:11,720 the one that just has drip. And although I do love the fact 770 00:37:11,720 --> 00:37:14,520 that his Wikipedia page even says quote, when asked about his 771 00:37:14,520 --> 00:37:17,040 personal appearance, fashion style and how it changed over 772 00:37:17,040 --> 00:37:20,720 time, Nagoshi says he adapts to what his current girlfriend is 773 00:37:20,720 --> 00:37:22,280 into. That's funny. 774 00:37:22,440 --> 00:37:24,680 Fair enough. Yeah, listen man, that's that's 775 00:37:24,680 --> 00:37:27,160 the right way to do it. That, yeah, because if you look 776 00:37:27,160 --> 00:37:29,240 at pictures of him from back in the day and what he looks like 777 00:37:29,240 --> 00:37:31,640 now, he became one of his own characters. 778 00:37:31,760 --> 00:37:37,080 Yeah, the monkey ball negotiate and the you got Kotoko 3 Kotoku 779 00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:43,160 like 6 negotiate way different. Way different warlock dungeons 780 00:37:43,160 --> 00:37:46,760 and Dragons looked badass. Didn't we think that that was a 781 00:37:46,760 --> 00:37:48,600 Neverwinter game for a minute? Yeah. 782 00:37:48,600 --> 00:37:52,320 Yeah, because it's like a it's a much darker type of, I mean, it 783 00:37:52,320 --> 00:37:54,400 looked like there were even some things from the Neverwinter 784 00:37:54,400 --> 00:37:58,320 universe or well, Neverwinter and Raven loft looking stuff so. 785 00:37:58,480 --> 00:38:00,920 Yeah, that's what I thought it was, was a Raven Loft game 786 00:38:01,400 --> 00:38:04,760 because Stroud or Straud, whatever his name is was there 787 00:38:04,760 --> 00:38:06,280 and like some of the yeah dude, it was really cool. 788 00:38:06,280 --> 00:38:08,360 But it's Warlock. Dungeons and Dragons is a new 789 00:38:08,360 --> 00:38:10,840 single player RPG that is all about wielding dark magic to 790 00:38:10,840 --> 00:38:13,280 battle foes. Players become the warrior Katri 791 00:38:13,640 --> 00:38:16,000 who embraces the darker side to take down people that are 792 00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:20,480 invading her land. Forest 3 confirmed as that was 793 00:38:20,480 --> 00:38:22,960 one of the forest follow up. That was one of the ones where 794 00:38:22,960 --> 00:38:24,720 it's like at the end of the trailer you're like, that is not 795 00:38:24,720 --> 00:38:27,640 what I thought that was. Yeah, dude, at the end I'm like 796 00:38:27,760 --> 00:38:30,280 the forest. Yeah, it's it's very sci-fi. 797 00:38:30,360 --> 00:38:32,680 What the fuck happened at the end of the second game? 798 00:38:32,680 --> 00:38:35,880 I'm like what the fuck? I need to play the first game 799 00:38:37,320 --> 00:38:40,080 there One more thing. I don't know if you guys, I know 800 00:38:40,080 --> 00:38:43,200 you guys don't really frequent Twitter much, but the the one 801 00:38:43,200 --> 00:38:47,480 more thing when Jeff Keeley put up a poll like what do you think 802 00:38:47,480 --> 00:38:52,280 of the show, it got AD from most everyone because of the one more 803 00:38:52,280 --> 00:38:54,280 thing. Really. 804 00:38:54,960 --> 00:38:59,960 And that was High Guard, which is a new PvP rage shooter a la 805 00:39:00,080 --> 00:39:03,160 Apex Legends and Titanfall. From the creators of Apex 806 00:39:03,160 --> 00:39:05,600 Legends and Titanfall I think. Yes. 807 00:39:05,800 --> 00:39:09,760 I I could kind of see why that that's not really a one more 808 00:39:09,760 --> 00:39:11,320 thing. That's what I thought too. 809 00:39:11,480 --> 00:39:15,120 I thought the maybe the one more thing should have been maybe 810 00:39:15,120 --> 00:39:16,600 that Warlock trailer or something. 811 00:39:16,600 --> 00:39:18,720 You know what I mean? Like just swap those and I 812 00:39:18,720 --> 00:39:20,680 think. I get the weird feeling like 813 00:39:20,680 --> 00:39:23,200 they were really, really hoping to have something to show us 814 00:39:23,200 --> 00:39:26,120 from Elder Scrolls 6 or Grand Theft Auto 6, and when that 815 00:39:26,120 --> 00:39:27,600 didn't happen they had to kind of pivot. 816 00:39:27,880 --> 00:39:31,480 Yeah. Pivot, pivot it. 817 00:39:31,840 --> 00:39:33,640 Sorry. Yeah, it was underwhelming. 818 00:39:34,320 --> 00:39:38,040 Conn's nipples got hard for Total War Warhammer 40K. 819 00:39:38,200 --> 00:39:42,080 That one looked really cool. I mean, it's just a natural fit, 820 00:39:42,080 --> 00:39:44,160 don't you think? Oh absolutely absolutely. 821 00:39:44,160 --> 00:39:48,000 Having played the Total War Warhammer fantasy ones, 40K is a 822 00:39:48,000 --> 00:39:50,440 perfect fit. Dude I honestly think like a 823 00:39:50,440 --> 00:39:52,840 command and conquer style Total War game would be good and I'm 824 00:39:52,840 --> 00:39:55,320 sure it exists and I'm sure I probably own it on GOG and just 825 00:39:55,320 --> 00:39:57,320 don't know it but. There are so many freaking 826 00:39:57,320 --> 00:40:00,280 Warhammer games man. There are a fucking lot of. 827 00:40:00,880 --> 00:40:03,680 Speaking of ones I want to get around to, I think it might have 828 00:40:03,680 --> 00:40:07,480 been used but somebody gifted me bolt gun and I definitely need 829 00:40:07,480 --> 00:40:10,080 to play that sucker because it's the boomer shooter in the 830 00:40:10,680 --> 00:40:13,440 Warhammer 40K universe. Yeah, I think that was me that 831 00:40:13,440 --> 00:40:15,040 gifted that to you. I was like, I played a little 832 00:40:15,040 --> 00:40:16,960 bit of it and I was like, this is so far alley. 833 00:40:16,960 --> 00:40:18,800 I have to buy it for him. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. 834 00:40:18,800 --> 00:40:20,360 I think it was. It was very likely you. 835 00:40:20,440 --> 00:40:22,640 I remember that. I think it was you anyway. 836 00:40:23,280 --> 00:40:27,080 Let's see, Invincible Versus is getting a new fighter for Loop 837 00:40:27,240 --> 00:40:29,800 made by the guys from Bad Robot and the designer for Left 4 838 00:40:29,800 --> 00:40:31,160 Dead. It had that. 839 00:40:31,160 --> 00:40:33,600 Who was the fucking? You're thinking of the John 840 00:40:33,600 --> 00:40:35,440 Rector 10. No, never mind. 841 00:40:35,760 --> 00:40:36,880 JJ Abrams. Abrams. 842 00:40:37,120 --> 00:40:39,280 That's who it was. JJ Abrams came out, him and Mike 843 00:40:39,280 --> 00:40:41,440 Booth, and they announced for Loop, which I mean, it looked 844 00:40:41,440 --> 00:40:42,960 OK, but it's like another loop game. 845 00:40:43,040 --> 00:40:48,880 Yeah, there was no law made by the guys who did the ascent. 846 00:40:49,320 --> 00:40:53,080 Looked very much like Cyberpunk Ace Combat 8 Wings of Thieves. 847 00:40:53,600 --> 00:40:55,640 That would look pretty neat. I was kind of glad that you you 848 00:40:55,640 --> 00:40:57,280 were like, oh man, is this Ace Combat? 849 00:40:57,280 --> 00:40:58,720 Used to play this all the time back in the day. 850 00:40:58,720 --> 00:41:00,080 And then it was Ace Combat. You're right. 851 00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:02,680 And it. Was ace Combat, yeah I was super 852 00:41:02,680 --> 00:41:06,000 fucking hyped for that. Lenny Kravitz is randomly gonna 853 00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:09,920 be in Double O 7 first light. He looked pretty awesome, not 854 00:41:09,920 --> 00:41:12,480 gonna lie that. Looked badass character he he 855 00:41:12,480 --> 00:41:14,320 looked like he fit the part of the character he was playing. 856 00:41:14,320 --> 00:41:16,920 Absolutely. He even came out completely 857 00:41:16,920 --> 00:41:19,720 dressed as the character and I'm like, yeah, I can see it. 858 00:41:19,960 --> 00:41:21,880 He's got so much drip. Yeah, totally that. 859 00:41:21,880 --> 00:41:26,120 Guy just oozes charisma and looks the exact same as he did 860 00:41:26,840 --> 00:41:28,800 20 years ago, I swear. Uncanny. 861 00:41:28,800 --> 00:41:32,320 Yeah. Let's see, Marvel Rivals is 862 00:41:32,320 --> 00:41:34,480 getting Deadpool as its next playable character. 863 00:41:34,640 --> 00:41:37,360 Can't say anyone super surprised by that, but people still love 864 00:41:37,360 --> 00:41:39,360 Deadpool so, you know, go on you. 865 00:41:39,520 --> 00:41:43,120 The Witness and Braid creator announced his new game order. 866 00:41:43,200 --> 00:41:43,920 The sync? Really. 867 00:41:44,520 --> 00:41:47,320 I genuinely thought Jonathan Blow disappeared like 10 years 868 00:41:47,320 --> 00:41:50,800 ago. They're calling this a 250 hour 869 00:41:50,800 --> 00:41:53,000 puzzle game. I mean, if you saw the overworld 870 00:41:53,000 --> 00:41:55,880 map, it looked massive and that actually did get me a bit 871 00:41:55,880 --> 00:41:57,520 intrigued. Yeah, 250. 872 00:41:57,520 --> 00:41:59,800 And it had the big pull out and it just looked like, I don't 873 00:41:59,800 --> 00:42:00,640 know when it could pull him back. 874 00:42:00,640 --> 00:42:03,120 It was like it's screen over screen after screen after screen 875 00:42:03,120 --> 00:42:05,280 like a Zelda game. But then they kept pulling back 876 00:42:05,280 --> 00:42:07,320 and it was bigger and bigger than you could have imagined. 877 00:42:07,400 --> 00:42:09,720 Yeah. I know we've been going on this 878 00:42:09,720 --> 00:42:10,880 for a little bit so I'm trying to run through. 879 00:42:10,880 --> 00:42:13,760 I mean, it was like also I the great thing that was it's also 880 00:42:13,760 --> 00:42:16,280 just basically kind of like a Soko Bond like puzzle game. 881 00:42:16,280 --> 00:42:18,680 Like it didn't look like it was doing anything interesting 882 00:42:18,680 --> 00:42:20,880 gameplay wise. So hopefully that's just really 883 00:42:20,880 --> 00:42:22,960 good puzzles. Might be good puzzles with like 884 00:42:22,960 --> 00:42:25,040 a good narrative taking you through. 885 00:42:25,320 --> 00:42:27,880 I I don't want the brave guy to try to give me a good narrative. 886 00:42:27,880 --> 00:42:31,640 Thank you. Lords of the Fallen 2 coming 887 00:42:31,640 --> 00:42:34,000 out. Another gory, gory fucking 888 00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:39,440 trailer out of words was the like claymation game with the 889 00:42:39,440 --> 00:42:42,240 two kids with no mouths. Yeah, that one looked fun. 890 00:42:42,360 --> 00:42:45,080 I'm glad the Co-op platformer narrative type games were 891 00:42:45,080 --> 00:42:47,360 becoming a thing. You know that it's it's, I think 892 00:42:47,360 --> 00:42:49,600 there need to be more two player type couch Co-op games. 893 00:42:50,240 --> 00:42:52,720 I agree. Like like split fiction or it 894 00:42:52,720 --> 00:42:58,560 takes 2 or shoot overcooked. Overcooked is not quite what I'm 895 00:42:58,560 --> 00:42:59,920 thinking of but yeah I get what you mean. 896 00:42:59,920 --> 00:43:02,040 I mean the more like platformer narrative type games. 897 00:43:02,800 --> 00:43:05,200 That cause a game I'd love to try for the show. 898 00:43:05,360 --> 00:43:06,480 That would be an interesting one. 899 00:43:06,480 --> 00:43:08,400 Yeah, I do think I have one of them somewhere. 900 00:43:09,280 --> 00:43:12,160 Neo Three got a trailer. Violin as hell. 901 00:43:12,560 --> 00:43:15,640 Sick as hell too. Oh Bradley, dude. 902 00:43:16,000 --> 00:43:17,400 Yeah, I was like, this is the one. 903 00:43:17,400 --> 00:43:18,800 This is the one we need to talk about. 904 00:43:18,880 --> 00:43:22,920 So the creator of Mario Plus Rabbits is making a game called 905 00:43:22,920 --> 00:43:24,760 Bradley the Badger, now Mikkolov. 906 00:43:24,760 --> 00:43:27,560 Bradley the Badger. I was not there for this. 907 00:43:28,320 --> 00:43:30,600 Oh, Bradley, the Badger was real interesting. 908 00:43:30,960 --> 00:43:33,440 Let me tell you the the description and then we'll we'll 909 00:43:33,440 --> 00:43:35,800 tell you how the trailer was. This game is a classic 910 00:43:35,800 --> 00:43:39,040 platforming one with fresh twists and a meta feeling story 911 00:43:39,400 --> 00:43:42,360 that is helping this video game mascot through its creator's 912 00:43:42,360 --> 00:43:45,880 unfinished work. Contains nods to Bloodborne, 913 00:43:46,400 --> 00:43:49,680 Cyberpunk 2077, The Last of Us, and more. 914 00:43:50,640 --> 00:43:53,800 Oh, so it's a parody? Yeah, it's it kind of, I mean, 915 00:43:53,800 --> 00:43:56,680 maybe not all the way full conquer or whatever, but you 916 00:43:56,680 --> 00:43:59,160 definitely got the Viper early on when it like was doing this 917 00:43:59,160 --> 00:44:01,960 Bloodborne thing and it pulled out the like a title screen of 918 00:44:01,960 --> 00:44:05,160 Badger Born. And I'm like I I need this. 919 00:44:05,920 --> 00:44:09,080 Yeah, we, we thought it was just Badger born and we were sold. 920 00:44:09,240 --> 00:44:10,120 Right. And then it did. 921 00:44:10,120 --> 00:44:12,640 Badger or cyber? Badger 2077. 922 00:44:13,040 --> 00:44:17,120 Yeah, Cyber. Badger 2077 And then it was like 923 00:44:17,160 --> 00:44:19,440 the last of Badgers or something like that, like. 924 00:44:19,680 --> 00:44:23,560 I love his jump. It was incredible. 925 00:44:23,760 --> 00:44:25,560 I immediately wish listed this game. 926 00:44:26,000 --> 00:44:28,280 And like, it looked like each of the different, like play worlds 927 00:44:28,280 --> 00:44:30,320 might have had its own separate mechanics and stuff. 928 00:44:30,320 --> 00:44:34,960 So that seems really awesome. It has a, It has a, a building 929 00:44:34,960 --> 00:44:36,440 that's called Waiting for Review. 930 00:44:37,320 --> 00:44:41,160 I liked that too, actually. This looks Nate was super on 931 00:44:41,160 --> 00:44:44,280 board with this because it's a 3D platformer and he is like me 932 00:44:44,280 --> 00:44:47,400 when it comes to those. I just liked the different 933 00:44:47,440 --> 00:44:50,360 worlds inside of it. Like, I've really, I could just 934 00:44:50,360 --> 00:44:52,960 play Badger Born and I think I'd be very happy about it. 935 00:44:53,200 --> 00:44:55,240 Yeah, the last. The Last Badger. 936 00:44:55,400 --> 00:44:58,600 The last Badger, yeah. This looks like a cross between 937 00:44:58,640 --> 00:45:02,680 Astrobot and Little Big Planet. Yeah, I could actually see I 938 00:45:02,680 --> 00:45:05,560 didn't think about Astrobot, but that's not a bad comparison. 939 00:45:05,800 --> 00:45:09,400 I honestly think that Blitz had a similar sentiment. 940 00:45:10,160 --> 00:45:12,160 I think he brought up a little big planet actually too. 941 00:45:12,160 --> 00:45:15,800 Yeah, yeah. The next. 942 00:45:16,040 --> 00:45:19,040 Game he's now he's a human in a badger with a bring a badger hat 943 00:45:19,040 --> 00:45:21,760 with the heck a lot. Going on. 944 00:45:22,720 --> 00:45:26,160 There's a lot going on, okay? But yeah, that came. 945 00:45:27,600 --> 00:45:31,000 Okay, okay, I'm in. I'm in. 946 00:45:31,000 --> 00:45:34,520 It looks fun. I'm in for Bradley the Badger. 947 00:45:34,920 --> 00:45:38,920 It might be day one for me. Like, yeah, I'm all in. 948 00:45:39,800 --> 00:45:41,880 Maybe we'll play for the maybe we'll play it for the show. 949 00:45:42,600 --> 00:45:44,440 The next game none of us were interested in. 950 00:45:44,440 --> 00:45:47,320 Stupid never dies. What's your Cam do dude? 951 00:45:47,600 --> 00:45:48,920 Yeah, I don't know. It does this sometimes. 952 00:45:48,920 --> 00:45:50,400 Hold on, I can fix it. Yep. 953 00:45:51,160 --> 00:45:53,400 Stupid never dies. It looked stupid. 954 00:45:53,720 --> 00:45:57,040 So yeah, it seemed like they wanted to show us something 955 00:45:57,040 --> 00:45:59,640 whimsical and charming, but they forgot to show us anything that 956 00:45:59,640 --> 00:46:02,200 looked fun to play. Maybe they were just trying to 957 00:46:02,200 --> 00:46:03,880 show us that stupid really does never die. 958 00:46:04,080 --> 00:46:05,920 Well, they succeeded in making me think it was stupid. 959 00:46:05,920 --> 00:46:08,800 So good work. I think I just like did less 960 00:46:08,800 --> 00:46:10,720 than everyone else there and I did not like it. 961 00:46:11,280 --> 00:46:13,760 The first game that they showed of the night was the Free 962 00:46:13,760 --> 00:46:14,880 Shepherd. I love it. 963 00:46:14,880 --> 00:46:16,880 Which you? Play as a herding dog. 964 00:46:16,880 --> 00:46:18,480 So you play as a border collie basically. 965 00:46:18,640 --> 00:46:22,000 So I could play as Lilith Adjacent and you heard and it 966 00:46:22,000 --> 00:46:24,080 looks like a puzzle game and then there was like some weird 967 00:46:24,360 --> 00:46:27,000 where it looks like it's post apocalyptic or like there's some 968 00:46:27,000 --> 00:46:30,160 kind of alien shit going on. Yeah, it was like ancient, like 969 00:46:30,160 --> 00:46:33,160 ancient technologies you could see like sticking out of the 970 00:46:33,160 --> 00:46:35,160 ground, like Breath of the Wild type stuff, you know what I 971 00:46:35,160 --> 00:46:36,600 mean? I don't know what that kind of 972 00:46:36,600 --> 00:46:38,320 setting is called. I know it has a name, but I 973 00:46:38,320 --> 00:46:41,480 don't know what it's called. Not open world sandbox. 974 00:46:41,480 --> 00:46:44,840 No, no, no. I mean the the the setting, not 975 00:46:44,840 --> 00:46:46,440 the game. Game not. 976 00:46:46,440 --> 00:46:48,080 The game? No, not the gameplay type, I'm 977 00:46:48,080 --> 00:46:50,200 sorry. Like planes and plateaus. 978 00:46:50,200 --> 00:46:53,120 And it looks very like European landscape. 979 00:46:53,200 --> 00:46:55,440 Yeah, that's true, cuz we even got into like some really like 980 00:46:55,440 --> 00:46:57,200 frosty tundra. Yeah. 981 00:46:58,480 --> 00:47:00,720 Then they showed chicken foot, which is the one where you play 982 00:47:00,800 --> 00:47:02,160 the weird old lady with chicken feet. 983 00:47:02,320 --> 00:47:04,160 Covenant of the Chicken Foot, which looks like a game where 984 00:47:04,160 --> 00:47:05,800 you play as Baba Yaga or something. 985 00:47:06,360 --> 00:47:08,680 It looked really interesting, but I have no idea what the game 986 00:47:08,680 --> 00:47:11,480 was actually about. But man, I I was intrigued. 987 00:47:11,640 --> 00:47:13,320 I like the art style a whole heck of a lot. 988 00:47:13,480 --> 00:47:15,440 Yeah, me too. Decrepit. 989 00:47:15,520 --> 00:47:17,360 Which was that first person's souls like? 990 00:47:17,400 --> 00:47:19,360 Yeah, I think this. Didn't they say I was like a 991 00:47:19,360 --> 00:47:21,400 solo dev from Sweden or something like that? 992 00:47:21,800 --> 00:47:23,760 Yeah, I believe so. And yeah, you made some 993 00:47:23,760 --> 00:47:26,520 Kingsfield comparisons with it being a first person souls like 994 00:47:26,520 --> 00:47:28,440 and all that. Yeah, and it looks that was 995 00:47:28,440 --> 00:47:30,520 another grotesque trailer. Yeah. 996 00:47:30,720 --> 00:47:31,880 And it was. It was awesome. 997 00:47:32,000 --> 00:47:33,560 What you. Hoped for for a game called 998 00:47:33,560 --> 00:47:36,200 Decrepit that it wouldn't be all clean, you know? 999 00:47:36,360 --> 00:47:38,560 Yeah, fair enough, fair enough. Audio mech. 1000 00:47:39,000 --> 00:47:42,320 That game looked awesome because it's like a rhythm game but you 1001 00:47:42,320 --> 00:47:46,080 can play to your own soundtrack. Yeah, it's a audio surf guy and 1002 00:47:46,080 --> 00:47:49,080 it's like it looks kind of like a bullet hell type game, but you 1003 00:47:49,080 --> 00:47:51,400 play kind of against or with your music. 1004 00:47:51,600 --> 00:47:54,040 So that seems to, and what really excited me too was it 1005 00:47:54,040 --> 00:47:56,520 said, not just music on your hard drive like a lot of those 1006 00:47:56,520 --> 00:47:58,880 games, you can play it off of streaming music as well. 1007 00:47:59,040 --> 00:48:00,760 Hell yeah. So everybody go get your free 1008 00:48:00,760 --> 00:48:02,320 DLC now. The Nightmare. 1009 00:48:03,720 --> 00:48:04,640 Hit me up. I'll provide it. 1010 00:48:05,480 --> 00:48:08,240 Guild Wars 2, getting a new trailer, getting a new 1011 00:48:08,240 --> 00:48:11,320 expansion, Visions of Eternity. I'm gonna go on record and say 1012 00:48:11,320 --> 00:48:14,480 that I think that Guild Wars One and Guild Wars 2 are the best 1013 00:48:14,480 --> 00:48:17,000 Mmos that you can play out right now, and I'm just gonna leave 1014 00:48:17,000 --> 00:48:19,400 that there to linger. I'm not gonna argue because I 1015 00:48:19,400 --> 00:48:22,600 don't play that much RP or Mmos these days, or ever, I mean. 1016 00:48:23,040 --> 00:48:26,200 Final Fantasy 14 is not great these days. 1017 00:48:26,200 --> 00:48:28,680 It's not bad. This is not great. 1018 00:48:29,080 --> 00:48:31,160 Like you guys were having some fun with Final Fantasy 11 a 1019 00:48:31,160 --> 00:48:33,160 while back, but is it one of those where you just get into it 1020 00:48:33,160 --> 00:48:34,560 for a couple weeks and then do something else? 1021 00:48:34,560 --> 00:48:38,080 I I need Dalton to hold me, hit my hand through that game and I 1022 00:48:38,080 --> 00:48:40,640 just haven't had time to ask him to hold my hand through that 1023 00:48:40,640 --> 00:48:44,000 game. I I stopped playing because 1024 00:48:44,000 --> 00:48:46,640 Mikolov didn't have time to play and I didn't want to get even 1025 00:48:46,640 --> 00:48:50,080 further ahead of him. Yeah, and and and I'm still 1026 00:48:50,080 --> 00:48:51,440 paying for the sub because I forgot. 1027 00:48:51,480 --> 00:48:54,320 Keep forgetting to cancel it. Filthy little pay pig. 1028 00:48:54,480 --> 00:48:57,000 I got it running on the steam. I got it running on the steam 1029 00:48:57,000 --> 00:48:58,440 deck though with the window Ware. 1030 00:48:58,440 --> 00:49:00,600 I'm very proud of myself. GAIL Grass, that's what's. 1031 00:49:00,880 --> 00:49:02,240 Up. Yeah, you've had some feats of 1032 00:49:02,240 --> 00:49:05,480 getting games to work lately too, because I saw you also 1033 00:49:05,480 --> 00:49:07,280 pulled Claire Obscure off on a phone. 1034 00:49:07,480 --> 00:49:09,120 I didn't play Claire Obscure on a phone. 1035 00:49:09,600 --> 00:49:11,360 I thought you were playing out on a small Android device 1036 00:49:11,360 --> 00:49:12,720 though. That was chained echoes. 1037 00:49:13,080 --> 00:49:14,920 Why did I say Claire Obscure? I meant chained echoes. 1038 00:49:14,920 --> 00:49:16,960 I met the game we played, I got him. 1039 00:49:17,040 --> 00:49:18,920 I got him confused because they said Claire Obscure's name 1040 00:49:18,920 --> 00:49:21,800 400,000 times yesterday and now I don't know what anything else 1041 00:49:21,800 --> 00:49:23,440 is called. Oh, and I fixed. 1042 00:49:23,640 --> 00:49:25,360 I fixed my, fixed my capture card. 1043 00:49:25,360 --> 00:49:27,400 By the way, while we're talking about me fixing things. 1044 00:49:27,840 --> 00:49:29,360 Oh, wow. Because that was literally not 1045 00:49:29,360 --> 00:49:31,080 working as we went into the show. 1046 00:49:31,200 --> 00:49:34,640 Yeah. No, I the secret to that was I 1047 00:49:34,640 --> 00:49:38,280 actually figured out how to go into the hardware settings 1048 00:49:38,280 --> 00:49:42,120 itself and turn the capture card settings down to 1080P. 1049 00:49:42,680 --> 00:49:45,840 It was trying to do too much. It was trying to do too much, 1050 00:49:45,840 --> 00:49:47,000 Yeah. So. 1051 00:49:47,640 --> 00:49:51,320 That which worked. And that wasn't even working 1052 00:49:51,320 --> 00:49:54,480 because that's a 4K device too. Oh, well, I'm dumb then. 1053 00:49:54,640 --> 00:49:55,440 Oh, you're right. It was you. 1054 00:49:55,440 --> 00:49:57,040 You said it was all scrambling. That's right. 1055 00:49:57,200 --> 00:49:59,280 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like it powered on but then it 1056 00:49:59,280 --> 00:50:01,240 looks weird. It's not anymore, thankfully. 1057 00:50:01,640 --> 00:50:04,400 Yeah, no, I was, I was, I was fiddling with it while we were 1058 00:50:04,400 --> 00:50:07,360 recording because I, you know, freaking ADHD brain. 1059 00:50:07,560 --> 00:50:08,920 We're we're almost through this boys. 1060 00:50:09,000 --> 00:50:13,240 Yep, Celasta 2 got an early access release date and on a new 1061 00:50:13,240 --> 00:50:15,400 trailer and that game looks badass. 1062 00:50:15,760 --> 00:50:17,440 I knew it was Celasta when I was watching it. 1063 00:50:17,480 --> 00:50:19,040 I'm like, I think this is Celasta 2. 1064 00:50:19,040 --> 00:50:21,440 And it was. You called that super early and 1065 00:50:21,440 --> 00:50:24,080 then there were a few trailers for not new games that I don't 1066 00:50:24,080 --> 00:50:25,800 know if they even need full descriptions. 1067 00:50:26,240 --> 00:50:30,000 No, the really the only one that I want to talk about is Orbitals 1068 00:50:30,040 --> 00:50:33,520 because the animation style of that one looks like a Daft Punk 1069 00:50:33,520 --> 00:50:36,640 music video. Yeah, of the retro 90s anime 1070 00:50:36,640 --> 00:50:37,880 look too. It is so cool. 1071 00:50:37,880 --> 00:50:40,560 It looked so cool and it looks like I think it's a racing game 1072 00:50:40,680 --> 00:50:43,360 if I remember right, or it might have been a different one but. 1073 00:50:43,440 --> 00:50:45,520 I already don't remember anything about what it was 1074 00:50:45,600 --> 00:50:47,400 actually. About Screamer was the racing 1075 00:50:47,400 --> 00:50:49,960 game that was. Screamers was the arcane racing 1076 00:50:49,960 --> 00:50:50,880 game, right? Yes. 1077 00:50:51,000 --> 00:50:55,320 Yeah, Soul Frame looked really cool, and credit where credit is 1078 00:50:55,320 --> 00:50:58,200 due, the fucking Battlefield Red set commercial was funny as 1079 00:50:58,200 --> 00:50:59,600 hell. Yeah, especially if you have a 1080 00:50:59,600 --> 00:51:03,120 like, nostalgic soft spot for like, not that great nude Browns 1081 00:51:03,120 --> 00:51:04,200 cartoons. Because they were. 1082 00:51:04,200 --> 00:51:06,680 Hitting flash animation. Yeah, they were hitting that 1083 00:51:06,680 --> 00:51:07,160 pretty. Hard. 1084 00:51:07,360 --> 00:51:09,440 We're going into the Red Sox. Do you say Red Sox? 1085 00:51:09,880 --> 00:51:10,960 No. Red sack. 1086 00:51:10,960 --> 00:51:13,880 You said sex, you said red. I'm in. 1087 00:51:14,720 --> 00:51:16,440 It was good stuff, man. So yeah, that was the that was 1088 00:51:16,440 --> 00:51:19,560 the Game Awards. I am most hyped about Tomb 1089 00:51:19,560 --> 00:51:21,760 Raider, bar none. No surprise to anybody. 1090 00:51:22,160 --> 00:51:24,960 He's surprisingly me too, and this is coming from somebody 1091 00:51:24,960 --> 00:51:26,080 who's never played a Tomb Raider game. 1092 00:51:26,200 --> 00:51:28,720 I've played a couple, I've played Tomb Raider a couple 1093 00:51:28,720 --> 00:51:30,600 times for the show, and I still haven't found one that I 1094 00:51:30,600 --> 00:51:32,520 actually really, really liked yet. 1095 00:51:32,840 --> 00:51:37,040 But I'm still like, I still have faith in Lara Croft to give me a 1096 00:51:37,040 --> 00:51:38,840 game I enjoy playing. You know it's weird. 1097 00:51:39,000 --> 00:51:42,160 I I feel I feel like the Atlantis 1 is a good. 1098 00:51:42,280 --> 00:51:45,880 Starting point. Starting point for me to want to 1099 00:51:45,880 --> 00:51:49,440 play a Tomb Raider game because I feel like playing the original 1100 00:51:49,640 --> 00:51:53,600 but modern is just begging for my money. 1101 00:51:53,680 --> 00:51:55,040 Yeah, because. Here's what's fucking weird 1102 00:51:55,040 --> 00:51:56,440 about. We didn't have too much luck 1103 00:51:56,440 --> 00:51:59,320 with the modernizations on the trilogy release. 1104 00:51:59,520 --> 00:52:02,040 Yeah, but those. But that was a remaster, not a 1105 00:52:02,040 --> 00:52:06,800 full remake or retelling. So I own Tomb Raider. 1106 00:52:06,920 --> 00:52:10,240 I own Tomb Raider Legacy Collection, which is is, you 1107 00:52:10,240 --> 00:52:12,200 know, the one you guys are talking about the remaster. 1108 00:52:12,400 --> 00:52:16,360 And then I also own, I believe it's called Tomb Raider 1109 00:52:16,360 --> 00:52:22,520 Anniversary, which came out in 2007, and this was also a remake 1110 00:52:22,520 --> 00:52:24,080 of Tomb Raider 1. Huh. 1111 00:52:24,920 --> 00:52:27,680 But it's got mostly positive reviews and stuff. 1112 00:52:27,680 --> 00:52:31,000 But like it still looks like it's from 2007. 1113 00:52:31,000 --> 00:52:33,640 So am I going to buy a fourth version of this game? 1114 00:52:33,640 --> 00:52:38,080 You're fucking right, I am. I was going to say, there's no 1115 00:52:38,080 --> 00:52:40,880 way you're not. You are God damn silly if you 1116 00:52:40,880 --> 00:52:42,960 think I'm not going to buy the Tomb Raider game. 1117 00:52:42,960 --> 00:52:45,200 I will buy every Tomb Raider game until they run that series 1118 00:52:45,200 --> 00:52:48,040 into the fucking ground. I you know and didn't didn't 1119 00:52:48,040 --> 00:52:52,440 they already try to remake Tomb Raider with Tomb Raider like? 1120 00:52:52,720 --> 00:52:54,240 It was like a reboot. I don't think it. 1121 00:52:54,560 --> 00:52:57,400 Yeah, it was. They rebooted it, Yeah, but it 1122 00:52:57,400 --> 00:53:00,800 but it was it was like it's like an origin story, Yeah. 1123 00:53:00,840 --> 00:53:03,960 It was the gritty Laura. Yeah, a lot more survivalist 1124 00:53:03,960 --> 00:53:07,000 type stuff, a lot less. A lot less backflips and a lot 1125 00:53:07,000 --> 00:53:09,120 more rock climbing and stamina bars. 1126 00:53:09,120 --> 00:53:11,360 People didn't really like the gritty Laura. 1127 00:53:11,520 --> 00:53:13,440 They took it too. They took itself too fucking 1128 00:53:13,440 --> 00:53:15,120 seriously. Yeah, it just, it was. 1129 00:53:15,120 --> 00:53:18,400 There are Tyrannosaurus Rex and Velociraptors in the first game. 1130 00:53:18,800 --> 00:53:21,200 I want to backflip while shooting tigers with pistols of 1131 00:53:21,200 --> 00:53:24,360 Kimbo dude. Yes, that is what that is the 1132 00:53:24,360 --> 00:53:27,280 core of Tomb Raider, not whatever the Don't get me wrong, 1133 00:53:27,280 --> 00:53:30,120 I still want to play the other two that we haven't yet because 1134 00:53:30,120 --> 00:53:32,720 I want to finish out the gritty reboot series, but. 1135 00:53:32,840 --> 00:53:35,200 And I would say it wasn't even necessarily a terrible game on 1136 00:53:35,200 --> 00:53:36,800 its own. I think I was just let down 1137 00:53:36,800 --> 00:53:39,600 because it didn't feel like ultimately a much of A Tomb 1138 00:53:39,600 --> 00:53:42,520 Raider game and kind of a bad introduction to a series, you 1139 00:53:42,520 --> 00:53:44,920 know? Yeah, I will say I think it's 1140 00:53:44,920 --> 00:53:48,840 the third game has AVR mode where you can explore Lara's 1141 00:53:48,960 --> 00:53:51,240 mansion in VR. Sweet. 1142 00:53:51,320 --> 00:53:52,680 And I look forward to checking that out. 1143 00:53:53,080 --> 00:53:57,000 Can you clean Lara's mansion in? Power wash. 1144 00:53:57,000 --> 00:53:59,200 Yes you can. And power, yeah, Power wash 1145 00:53:59,200 --> 00:54:02,200 simulator, yeah, yeah, you can. Why am I blanking? 1146 00:54:02,200 --> 00:54:04,320 On names. Why am I blanking on names? 1147 00:54:04,560 --> 00:54:08,680 I don't know what's his name? Dalton. 1148 00:54:08,760 --> 00:54:10,200 Michelov, thank you. You're welcome. 1149 00:54:10,960 --> 00:54:12,760 Pickle. Yeah, you can clean the front of 1150 00:54:12,760 --> 00:54:14,800 her big ass mansion in the front yard and all that. 1151 00:54:14,800 --> 00:54:17,080 You can clean the obstacle course. 1152 00:54:17,080 --> 00:54:19,480 Yes. And then I believe you can clean 1153 00:54:19,480 --> 00:54:22,280 her four Wheeler. Oh, there was like one other one 1154 00:54:22,280 --> 00:54:23,000 I think. That sounds right. 1155 00:54:23,000 --> 00:54:25,360 There was a vehicle for sure it. Was like a it might have been a 1156 00:54:25,360 --> 00:54:27,200 four Wheeler and a snowmobile because those are like the two 1157 00:54:27,200 --> 00:54:29,600 big things that you use in Tomb Raider games. 1158 00:54:30,200 --> 00:54:32,480 I think maybe one of them was just set up on the obstacle 1159 00:54:32,480 --> 00:54:34,200 course and the other one you can clean separately. 1160 00:54:35,280 --> 00:54:39,440 Okay, so this week boys or this episode we played. 1161 00:54:40,040 --> 00:54:45,640 A gerb gerb A gerb that a GRPG. It is a JRPG. 1162 00:54:45,640 --> 00:54:49,080 We played our wonderful patron, the RPG Wolverine. 1163 00:54:49,080 --> 00:54:53,120 Logan Reed hit the $20 tier and asked us to play a game called 1164 00:54:53,120 --> 00:54:56,120 Chained Echoes. And before we get into our 1165 00:54:56,120 --> 00:54:57,960 thoughts and start talking about this game. 1166 00:54:58,400 --> 00:55:01,080 Here is. The obligatory Wicca booty of 1167 00:55:01,080 --> 00:55:04,840 bullshit. Chained Echoes is a 2022 1168 00:55:04,840 --> 00:55:08,800 role-playing game created by Matthias Linda and published by 1169 00:55:08,800 --> 00:55:13,000 Deck 13 Spotlight for Linux Max, Mac OS, Windows, Nintendo 1170 00:55:13,000 --> 00:55:16,760 Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One and Xbox 1171 00:55:16,760 --> 00:55:19,640 Series X&S. The game is inspired by classic 1172 00:55:19,640 --> 00:55:22,920 Japanese role-playing games from the 1990s, featuring turn based 1173 00:55:22,920 --> 00:55:27,080 combat, 16 bit style vision and a multi character narrative. 1174 00:55:27,240 --> 00:55:31,320 Linda was influenced by games such as Xenogears, Terra Enigma, 1175 00:55:31,440 --> 00:55:35,360 Secret of Mana, Sweeping into Breath of Fire, The Legend of 1176 00:55:35,360 --> 00:55:38,520 Dragoon, Chrono Trigger, and Final Fantasy 6. 1177 00:55:38,680 --> 00:55:41,560 The game has been praised by several reviewers as living up 1178 00:55:41,560 --> 00:55:44,280 to the quality of its inspiration while offering 1179 00:55:44,280 --> 00:55:47,320 modern advancements. So I don't have anybody to ask 1180 00:55:47,320 --> 00:55:49,360 why they picked this. I know why Logan picked it 1181 00:55:49,360 --> 00:55:51,600 because he loves this game. So let's just get into first 1182 00:55:51,600 --> 00:55:54,520 thoughts man Mikhailov, you fired it up, you start playing 1183 00:55:54,520 --> 00:55:55,760 it. Give me a your first thoughts on 1184 00:55:55,800 --> 00:55:58,240 it. Do you want first thoughts or do 1185 00:55:58,240 --> 00:56:03,040 you want first thoughts and what I was able to get this game 1186 00:56:03,040 --> 00:56:04,320 working on? Both. 1187 00:56:04,480 --> 00:56:07,400 Okay, so first thoughts. These guys are walking around 1188 00:56:07,400 --> 00:56:11,600 like Chrono Trigger. That was my immediate impression 1189 00:56:11,600 --> 00:56:15,760 was I got immediate Chrono Trigger influence vibes from it, 1190 00:56:16,640 --> 00:56:23,080 to the point where the beginning of this game is a nod to Chrono 1191 00:56:23,080 --> 00:56:26,640 Trigger in in a couple of different ways. 1192 00:56:27,120 --> 00:56:30,520 One there is a character named Glenn. 1193 00:56:30,760 --> 00:56:33,520 You know, I didn't pick up on that being a reference until you 1194 00:56:33,520 --> 00:56:36,240 just said that. There's also a character named 1195 00:56:36,240 --> 00:56:40,120 Lean who's a Princess. OK, that one I did catch though. 1196 00:56:40,360 --> 00:56:43,280 So you have those two things right there. 1197 00:56:43,280 --> 00:56:49,240 You have another character named Kylan, who is Glenn's friend. 1198 00:56:49,760 --> 00:56:55,080 Kylan sounds an awful lot like Kane, which is a little bit of 1199 00:56:55,080 --> 00:56:57,080 foreshadowing. I thought it was Killian. 1200 00:56:57,320 --> 00:57:00,600 I would say still sounds an awful lot, still sounds an awful 1201 00:57:00,600 --> 00:57:03,080 lot like Kane. Kane Yeah, yeah, no, I don't 1202 00:57:03,360 --> 00:57:05,200 disagree with that. Foreshadowing. 1203 00:57:05,200 --> 00:57:08,800 Fun Facially 4 yeah. Yeah, foreshadowing right there, 1204 00:57:09,200 --> 00:57:12,840 Fantasy 4. But then you also have the Glenn 1205 00:57:13,040 --> 00:57:19,640 Glenn, wake up, Glenn, mother figure waps up, opens the the 1206 00:57:19,640 --> 00:57:22,960 windows and you're just sitting there like, OK, so this is a 1207 00:57:22,960 --> 00:57:26,200 Corona trigger opening like complete and total bite. 1208 00:57:26,320 --> 00:57:29,920 And then all of a sudden like they're like get your ass up, 1209 00:57:29,920 --> 00:57:31,160 Glenn. And I'm like, oh, oh, there's 1210 00:57:31,160 --> 00:57:33,520 cursing. Oh, OK, all right. 1211 00:57:33,840 --> 00:57:37,360 And then he wakes up on an airship and you're like, OK, 1212 00:57:37,360 --> 00:57:39,040 this game is getting a little bit deeper. 1213 00:57:39,640 --> 00:57:44,760 And then Glenn's like, and then then Glenn is like, I'm going to 1214 00:57:44,920 --> 00:57:48,160 go into my sky armor. What are we fucking Zeno Gears 1215 00:57:48,160 --> 00:57:50,600 now? Yes, yes we are. 1216 00:57:51,240 --> 00:57:56,280 So I, I will honestly tell you that this game did take a take a 1217 00:57:56,280 --> 00:58:00,080 little bit more time than it should have to hook me, but it 1218 00:58:00,080 --> 00:58:04,120 did hook me. The, the, the characters seemed 1219 00:58:04,120 --> 00:58:06,880 kind of dry at 1st and they immediately become lovable. 1220 00:58:07,480 --> 00:58:09,560 And I don't want to say more than that because I don't want 1221 00:58:09,560 --> 00:58:12,120 to get outside of first impressions. 1222 00:58:13,000 --> 00:58:16,640 I will tell you that I did spend the majority of my time playing 1223 00:58:16,640 --> 00:58:21,200 this game on this little thing which is an Android handheld. 1224 00:58:21,200 --> 00:58:24,200 This is the Retroid Pocket G2 and. 1225 00:58:24,680 --> 00:58:29,440 It's got a nice switch light. Exactly why I played on this 1226 00:58:29,800 --> 00:58:32,680 because this has the same size screen as a switch light. 1227 00:58:32,960 --> 00:58:36,920 It's got the same colors as a switch light but it's an Android 1228 00:58:36,920 --> 00:58:39,960 based device. I was able to run the steam 1229 00:58:39,960 --> 00:58:44,600 version because now Android is starting to get apps that allow 1230 00:58:44,600 --> 00:58:48,080 you to run Windows games through a proton layer the same way that 1231 00:58:48,080 --> 00:58:53,560 Steam OS does and Linux does. And this is this game is under a 1232 00:58:53,560 --> 00:59:01,000 gig and it's it's 16 bit enough that you can get this running on 1233 00:59:01,000 --> 00:59:04,040 pretty much any PC. So getting it to run on an 1234 00:59:04,040 --> 00:59:06,640 Android device was not that hard. 1235 00:59:06,680 --> 00:59:10,680 And I had my Steam cloud saves, so I usually bounced between 1236 00:59:10,680 --> 00:59:12,800 that. I think at one time I played it 1237 00:59:12,800 --> 00:59:16,480 on my television and thought was like, that's cool as fuck 1238 00:59:16,480 --> 00:59:20,600 because I sent him a picture. And another time I played it on 1239 00:59:20,600 --> 00:59:25,040 like a Linux handheld. But the majority of the time, I 1240 00:59:25,040 --> 00:59:28,680 played it on that Retroid Pocket just because I felt like it fit 1241 00:59:28,680 --> 00:59:31,520 the aesthetic of a Super Nintendo and a Game Boy Advance 1242 00:59:31,520 --> 00:59:34,600 game to the point where I wanted to play it on something that was 1243 00:59:34,600 --> 00:59:36,880 very similar to that. That makes a lot of sense to me 1244 00:59:36,880 --> 00:59:38,640 man. So that's that's all I got for 1245 00:59:38,640 --> 00:59:41,400 now. I have a lot more to say about 1246 00:59:41,400 --> 00:59:45,200 this game as we talk about it, but I'll let when you all go 1247 00:59:45,200 --> 00:59:47,400 next. One of the things that I want to 1248 00:59:47,400 --> 00:59:50,280 point out that I noticed right off the bat and seeing that in 1249 00:59:50,280 --> 00:59:54,000 the wiki article has confirmed it in my mind. 1250 00:59:54,080 --> 00:59:56,240 When I loaded this up and started playing it I was like 1251 00:59:56,240 --> 00:59:59,600 these sprites are really pretty. These it. 1252 00:59:59,600 --> 01:00:02,240 This game reminds me of Terra Enigma the way it looks. 1253 01:00:02,440 --> 01:00:05,240 Because I don't know if either of you have ever played Terra 1254 01:00:05,240 --> 01:00:07,880 Enigma. In my opinion, that game has the 1255 01:00:07,880 --> 01:00:09,840 prettiest sprites on the Super Nintendo. 1256 01:00:09,960 --> 01:00:12,000 Nefarious actually just beat that recently. 1257 01:00:12,160 --> 01:00:17,080 Dude, there is a town that you go to that has cherry blossom 1258 01:00:17,080 --> 01:00:20,120 petals that fall across the screen as you're in it and Terra 1259 01:00:20,120 --> 01:00:22,040 Enigma and it's one of the prettiest fucking things I've 1260 01:00:22,040 --> 01:00:23,440 ever seen in the 16 bit graphics. 1261 01:00:23,440 --> 01:00:27,160 Like it's just so good. So totally get that inspiration 1262 01:00:27,160 --> 01:00:29,760 as well. But yeah, I load in and I'm 1263 01:00:29,760 --> 01:00:31,560 like, all right, all right, what do we got here? 1264 01:00:31,560 --> 01:00:33,640 What do we got here? Oh, we got mechs. 1265 01:00:34,080 --> 01:00:39,560 Oh, we got mech combat. Oh, OK, all right, let's go and. 1266 01:00:39,560 --> 01:00:41,880 You don't. You don't get mech combat for 1267 01:00:41,880 --> 01:00:44,000 very long. It is funny that that's 1268 01:00:44,000 --> 01:00:47,000 tutorializing something that you won't do again for like 7 more 1269 01:00:47,000 --> 01:00:48,400 hours. Yeah. 1270 01:00:48,520 --> 01:00:52,160 Yeah, and it's also funny. One thing that this game does is 1271 01:00:52,160 --> 01:00:55,080 when you pause it but not your menu, but actually pause it, it 1272 01:00:55,080 --> 01:00:58,400 brings up all your controls and at the bottom of the controls it 1273 01:00:58,400 --> 01:01:02,360 says call your sky armor parenthesis when available, call 1274 01:01:02,360 --> 01:01:04,640 your airship parenthesis when available. 1275 01:01:04,640 --> 01:01:07,480 So I'm like, all right, so I'm getting a sky armor and a 1276 01:01:07,480 --> 01:01:09,360 airship at some point during this game. 1277 01:01:09,440 --> 01:01:11,360 There were definitely a few moments where I noticed I was 1278 01:01:11,360 --> 01:01:14,440 just looking at menu things like, OK, well this, there's got 1279 01:01:14,440 --> 01:01:17,240 to be more characters because nobody wields gun yet. 1280 01:01:17,400 --> 01:01:20,000 Yeah, You just keep finding weapons that you're like no one 1281 01:01:20,000 --> 01:01:21,720 can use. You're like, what is this? 1282 01:01:21,720 --> 01:01:25,920 Yeah, and, and there's a lot of different combinations of 1283 01:01:25,920 --> 01:01:28,160 technology and magic in this game between the different 1284 01:01:28,160 --> 01:01:31,600 characters too. Yeah, but I think my my biggest 1285 01:01:31,800 --> 01:01:34,920 thing that I noticed right off the bat was music rocked, the 1286 01:01:34,920 --> 01:01:37,600 graphics were good and combat was interesting. 1287 01:01:37,640 --> 01:01:39,640 Like with, it's a little mechanic that I'm sure we'll. 1288 01:01:39,640 --> 01:01:41,840 Talk about really. What were your Yeah, what was 1289 01:01:41,840 --> 01:01:43,680 your first thought? Yeah, actually the OverDrive 1290 01:01:43,680 --> 01:01:45,800 meters the first thing I have written down after my first 1291 01:01:45,800 --> 01:01:47,760 impression. So I figured that's the first 1292 01:01:47,760 --> 01:01:50,920 thing we could explain because that is kind of the the go to 1293 01:01:50,920 --> 01:01:52,680 RPG battle mechanic of this game. 1294 01:01:53,160 --> 01:01:56,800 But So what I first wrote down was just that like, like it's 1295 01:01:56,840 --> 01:01:59,640 the prologue at the very beginning where you know, again, 1296 01:01:59,640 --> 01:02:03,720 you have like wake up Glenn followed by a big battle 1297 01:02:03,720 --> 01:02:05,600 sequence. And then what the hell just 1298 01:02:05,600 --> 01:02:07,440 happened? And then the game starts. 1299 01:02:07,440 --> 01:02:09,720 Like I thought that was really, really cool. 1300 01:02:09,720 --> 01:02:12,360 And then as I'm starting to play the actual game, I'm like, I'm 1301 01:02:12,360 --> 01:02:15,120 just noticing going when you go around the outside of the city 1302 01:02:15,120 --> 01:02:16,920 for the first time, you're in the overworld for the first 1303 01:02:16,920 --> 01:02:18,040 time. It's not even really an 1304 01:02:18,040 --> 01:02:19,080 overworld, but you know what I mean? 1305 01:02:19,080 --> 01:02:22,720 The field, I just kept noticing things like there's just all 1306 01:02:22,720 --> 01:02:25,880 these great little details that were added there like a Sprite 1307 01:02:25,880 --> 01:02:28,280 art of just like this little duck kind of snoozing. 1308 01:02:28,280 --> 01:02:31,680 It had like A4 frame animation cycle and just little things 1309 01:02:31,680 --> 01:02:33,760 like that where I'm like they put so much care into all these 1310 01:02:33,760 --> 01:02:37,080 little things that it just, it immediately felt like this game 1311 01:02:37,080 --> 01:02:41,120 was not, it wasn't designed to be a minimum viable product. 1312 01:02:41,120 --> 01:02:43,240 It was designed to be like this guy's dream game. 1313 01:02:43,480 --> 01:02:45,000 You could tell just from the start. 1314 01:02:45,160 --> 01:02:47,400 Oh 100%. There's a moment like you walk 1315 01:02:47,400 --> 01:02:51,280 into a zone and right off, like you can't walk over there, but 1316 01:02:51,280 --> 01:02:53,840 you'll see just like a squirrel sitting on a rock and you can, 1317 01:02:53,840 --> 01:02:56,000 he looks like he's eating a nut or something like that. 1318 01:02:56,120 --> 01:02:58,360 And it's like that's just there for the love of it. 1319 01:02:58,360 --> 01:03:00,480 Like he didn't have to sit there and animate that and put it 1320 01:03:00,480 --> 01:03:02,560 there, but he did. And cuz I'm so burdened, you 1321 01:03:02,560 --> 01:03:04,800 know, burned out by AAA Chekhov's gun type things. 1322 01:03:04,800 --> 01:03:06,720 It's like I kept trying to figure out how to interact with 1323 01:03:06,720 --> 01:03:08,360 the vultures at the mountain range. 1324 01:03:08,360 --> 01:03:11,000 So I'm like, there's such cool animated little guys, I want to 1325 01:03:11,000 --> 01:03:12,800 see if I can do something with them. 1326 01:03:13,080 --> 01:03:15,720 Yeah, so that's the main thing I had to is just immediately the 1327 01:03:15,720 --> 01:03:20,040 presentation was very good with the music and the 16 bit style 1328 01:03:20,040 --> 01:03:22,800 art. And also, yeah, not only did I 1329 01:03:22,800 --> 01:03:25,080 really like, like you said, it was Chrono Trigger movement, 1330 01:03:25,080 --> 01:03:27,400 which when you were playing Super Nintendo games, Chrono 1331 01:03:27,400 --> 01:03:29,320 Trigger was a revelation because you had eight directional 1332 01:03:29,320 --> 01:03:31,680 movement that was actually controlling it with an analog 1333 01:03:31,680 --> 01:03:33,200 stick It. So it has full analog 1334 01:03:33,200 --> 01:03:34,320 directional movement when you're. 1335 01:03:34,320 --> 01:03:36,320 Oh, yeah. And I thought that was so. 1336 01:03:36,440 --> 01:03:38,400 Neat. Oh yeah, that was really cool. 1337 01:03:38,600 --> 01:03:41,480 Like it just, it made me feel immediately like I was in 1338 01:03:41,480 --> 01:03:42,880 control. The game wasn't going to put me 1339 01:03:42,880 --> 01:03:46,400 on, you know, rail, so to speak. And I was just really happy with 1340 01:03:46,400 --> 01:03:48,680 it from the start. And I do feel it has a good 1341 01:03:48,680 --> 01:03:54,840 combination of open content as well as linear progression as 1342 01:03:54,840 --> 01:03:56,560 well. Yeah, that's not, it's not going 1343 01:03:56,560 --> 01:03:59,520 to be first impression because really it's more like 8 or 9 1344 01:03:59,520 --> 01:04:01,320 hours in that that really opens up. 1345 01:04:01,320 --> 01:04:05,400 But that that's. True and it does but it but 1346 01:04:05,520 --> 01:04:09,880 honestly I feel like Chrono Trigger and Final Fantasy 4 and 1347 01:04:09,880 --> 01:04:13,120 Final Fantasy 6 like they all start super linear and then they 1348 01:04:13,160 --> 01:04:17,200 open up as you progress and and this game does that too. 1349 01:04:17,720 --> 01:04:19,560 Yeah, absolutely. Like there's a point where you 1350 01:04:19,800 --> 01:04:23,080 get vehicles and get the ability to not just travel to the next 1351 01:04:23,080 --> 01:04:26,720 town, but also side quests and the right to freely explore. 1352 01:04:26,800 --> 01:04:29,240 Yeah, and stuff. Just enough new stuff that makes 1353 01:04:29,240 --> 01:04:31,560 you want to go back to old areas to see if you can like poke 1354 01:04:31,560 --> 01:04:35,000 around the edges, which has been pretty rewarding so far for me. 1355 01:04:35,160 --> 01:04:37,760 There's there's some stuff I want to talk about later, but we 1356 01:04:37,760 --> 01:04:40,000 have to, we have to get past first impressions. 1357 01:04:40,000 --> 01:04:41,560 Absolutely. Well, I'm done with mine. 1358 01:04:41,600 --> 01:04:45,000 But but, but there but something something comes to mind when you 1359 01:04:45,320 --> 01:04:47,640 when you mention that. Yeah, I could think of a couple, 1360 01:04:47,720 --> 01:04:49,840 both points that definitely were huge for me too. 1361 01:04:50,040 --> 01:04:52,440 Well, let me go ahead and preface with I'm not trying to 1362 01:04:52,440 --> 01:04:55,120 cover this beat for beat. So if we want to jump around and 1363 01:04:55,120 --> 01:04:56,880 talk about things, that's totally OK because I know 1364 01:04:56,880 --> 01:04:59,320 Willie, you were talking about and I mentioned the OverDrive 1365 01:04:59,320 --> 01:05:00,880 mechanic. Yes, I would love to go 1366 01:05:00,880 --> 01:05:02,840 immediately to that. Just the combat system. 1367 01:05:02,840 --> 01:05:05,640 General yeah, let's say let's do combat and OverDrive and then 1368 01:05:05,640 --> 01:05:07,840 we'll touch on the things that Michelob is alluding to and then 1369 01:05:07,840 --> 01:05:09,800 I have the characters pulled up and yadda yadda. 1370 01:05:09,800 --> 01:05:10,560 So. Cool, cool. 1371 01:05:11,080 --> 01:05:14,040 So the battle system seems normal at first, but then they 1372 01:05:14,040 --> 01:05:18,160 introduce this like overheat like what was it called again? 1373 01:05:18,160 --> 01:05:19,640 I'm so. Sorry, OverDrive and overheat. 1374 01:05:19,680 --> 01:05:21,040 Over. Yeah, there it is. 1375 01:05:21,280 --> 01:05:23,400 I remember overheat because that happened to me a lot. 1376 01:05:24,560 --> 01:05:27,720 Oh yeah. So every attack that you do 1377 01:05:28,200 --> 01:05:32,160 raises your OverDrive meter and you want to keep it in the sweet 1378 01:05:32,160 --> 01:05:34,080 spot. Very hard to do by the way. 1379 01:05:34,400 --> 01:05:36,840 There's a pretty big section down the middle of the bar, like 1380 01:05:37,320 --> 01:05:39,480 it's almost like 75 percent, 80% of it. 1381 01:05:39,480 --> 01:05:41,880 I think you can actually change how big it is in the settings 1382 01:05:41,880 --> 01:05:44,920 too. But it at the very beginning of 1383 01:05:44,920 --> 01:05:48,680 the fight you have like no OverDrive mechanic or whatever. 1384 01:05:48,680 --> 01:05:51,080 It's just you do a few attacks and then it gets into OverDrive. 1385 01:05:51,360 --> 01:05:55,840 When you hit OverDrive, all your moves take only 50% magic points 1386 01:05:55,840 --> 01:06:00,800 to use or technique points. I mean and that's basically all 1387 01:06:00,800 --> 01:06:03,720 your moves pull from the same pool except for regular attack 1388 01:06:03,720 --> 01:06:10,200 use item or flea basically so so like even think like if you run 1389 01:06:10,200 --> 01:06:12,840 out of points you would have used to cast spells, you'll also 1390 01:06:12,840 --> 01:06:15,880 have not be able to do like advanced attacks or stat buffs 1391 01:06:15,880 --> 01:06:20,160 and debuffs things like that. However, OK, the next part is if 1392 01:06:20,160 --> 01:06:23,800 it gets to the end of the bar, like the last 1520%, then it 1393 01:06:23,800 --> 01:06:29,040 hits an overheat status where you take additional damage from 1394 01:06:29,040 --> 01:06:31,680 the enemies and all your attacks go back to being full cost. 1395 01:06:31,840 --> 01:06:36,080 And then the other thing is you can, if you choose to defend, 1396 01:06:36,080 --> 01:06:39,080 the overheat or OverDrive gauge goes down a little bit. 1397 01:06:39,400 --> 01:06:43,400 And every four turns once you first hit OverDrive, one type of 1398 01:06:43,400 --> 01:06:46,560 move is designated as the type of move that drops the meter. 1399 01:06:46,920 --> 01:06:51,320 So like it might be buffs. So if you use like a defense up, 1400 01:06:51,320 --> 01:06:54,000 that'll drop the meter back down and those moves will be 1401 01:06:54,000 --> 01:06:56,400 highlighted in yellow for your character so you know which ones 1402 01:06:56,400 --> 01:06:58,280 you can use. And you have to makes some tough 1403 01:06:58,280 --> 01:07:01,320 decisions between do I want to take another hit in this round 1404 01:07:01,320 --> 01:07:03,560 or I just want to defend and make sure I don't accidentally 1405 01:07:03,560 --> 01:07:06,160 push it to overheat. That's yeah, pretty much the 1406 01:07:06,160 --> 01:07:10,440 mechanic in a nutshell. There's also some bosses that, 1407 01:07:10,640 --> 01:07:13,080 you know, take away from that mechanic. 1408 01:07:13,080 --> 01:07:15,640 Not take away from the mechanic, but they they, they completely 1409 01:07:15,640 --> 01:07:18,920 change up the mechanic. Some of the bosses when you get 1410 01:07:18,920 --> 01:07:22,000 in the sky armors that that completely changes the mechanic 1411 01:07:22,000 --> 01:07:24,680 yet again. So they somehow did manage to 1412 01:07:24,680 --> 01:07:28,720 make it fresh, even though it's a pretty static thing for a good 1413 01:07:28,720 --> 01:07:30,960 chunk of the game. And actually for like the 1414 01:07:30,960 --> 01:07:34,600 entirety of the beginning of the game, that's the only thing you 1415 01:07:34,600 --> 01:07:38,600 have. You're you're not getting a sky 1416 01:07:38,600 --> 01:07:41,040 armor or anything special like that. 1417 01:07:41,040 --> 01:07:42,720 You're just going through the world. 1418 01:07:43,200 --> 01:07:46,400 Yeah, just managing when you're in combat your the OverDrive 1419 01:07:46,400 --> 01:07:48,400 meter and your tech points trying to make sure you don't 1420 01:07:48,400 --> 01:07:50,800 run out. Yeah, exactly so. 1421 01:07:51,360 --> 01:07:53,640 And actually, that's one thing I got to give the game credit for. 1422 01:07:53,800 --> 01:07:57,560 It doesn't necessarily hold your hand, but it gives you time to 1423 01:07:57,560 --> 01:08:01,120 get used to how to play before it throws something new at you. 1424 01:08:01,160 --> 01:08:04,240 Yeah, because eventually, about maybe four or five hours into 1425 01:08:04,240 --> 01:08:06,440 the game, you get into a boss fight where the boss has an 1426 01:08:06,440 --> 01:08:10,480 ability that changes the shape of the overdraft meter, I think 1427 01:08:10,480 --> 01:08:11,720 like. Exactly. 1428 01:08:11,720 --> 01:08:14,440 Yeah, that's exactly in the middle, I think to it. 1429 01:08:14,440 --> 01:08:19,319 Yeah, yeah. So now, now it's a lot harder to 1430 01:08:19,319 --> 01:08:24,760 to to maintain that OverDrive. Yeah, because using the move 1431 01:08:24,760 --> 01:08:27,120 that would take you out of the first OverDrive section would 1432 01:08:27,160 --> 01:08:29,720 almost always take you out of OverDrive entirely. 1433 01:08:29,840 --> 01:08:31,359 Right. And actually put you in an 1434 01:08:31,359 --> 01:08:33,120 overheat even if you were going down. 1435 01:08:33,359 --> 01:08:36,479 Yeah, Did did either of you as you've been playing through 1436 01:08:36,479 --> 01:08:39,120 because I know I beat this, I know you guys haven't yet, but 1437 01:08:39,279 --> 01:08:41,479 have you noticed started noticing the synergies that you 1438 01:08:41,479 --> 01:08:44,359 can do between party members? You mean things like having one 1439 01:08:44,359 --> 01:08:50,160 character use like the dry spell and then have Lana do wind 1440 01:08:50,160 --> 01:08:51,880 thrusts or something like that? Yeah. 1441 01:08:51,880 --> 01:08:55,800 Like for instance, I would take Glenn and I would use oil 1442 01:08:55,800 --> 01:08:57,640 strike. Yeah, that was one of the 1st 1443 01:08:57,640 --> 01:08:59,240 and then. I would use fire thrust. 1444 01:08:59,399 --> 01:09:01,960 Yeah, if an enemy didn't have a weakness, that was such a great 1445 01:09:01,960 --> 01:09:04,840 combination. That's one of the early, that's 1446 01:09:04,840 --> 01:09:08,760 one of the early game ones you could do a little bit later on. 1447 01:09:09,800 --> 01:09:15,800 One of my favorite move sets was have Rob use paralyze shot and 1448 01:09:15,800 --> 01:09:20,160 then Sienna can use Ayajutsu which does extra damage if 1449 01:09:20,160 --> 01:09:22,920 you're paralyzed. I haven't unlocked ayajutsu 1450 01:09:22,920 --> 01:09:24,880 because I didn't know there was a way to paralyze enemies. 1451 01:09:24,880 --> 01:09:27,560 Damn. Three times damage if they're 1452 01:09:27,560 --> 01:09:29,279 paralyzed, Yeah. That's huge. 1453 01:09:29,279 --> 01:09:31,000 I just didn't think. I didn't know there was an easy 1454 01:09:31,000 --> 01:09:33,120 way to paralyze enemies. I'm gonna have to write that 1455 01:09:33,120 --> 01:09:34,040 down. Hold on, Sienna. 1456 01:09:34,040 --> 01:09:36,960 Yeah, let me go ahead and just. Give you a Let me give you a pro 1457 01:09:36,960 --> 01:09:40,560 tip Sienna. Get everything you can to give 1458 01:09:40,560 --> 01:09:42,760 that girl crit. Oh yeah, yeah. 1459 01:09:43,040 --> 01:09:45,120 Oh yeah. You want her crit and you want 1460 01:09:45,120 --> 01:09:47,279 her to have tech tech points because she runs through tech 1461 01:09:47,279 --> 01:09:50,560 points so fast too. Yeah yeah but dude if you stack 1462 01:09:50,560 --> 01:09:54,960 her crit she will do buku fucking damage on a crit and 1463 01:09:54,960 --> 01:09:56,760 that helps so much during bosses. 1464 01:09:56,920 --> 01:10:01,400 She came in fucking clutch when I beat the secret final Uber 1465 01:10:01,400 --> 01:10:03,240 boss guy. Oh, she cut. 1466 01:10:03,240 --> 01:10:05,920 She is come and clutch for me multiple times. 1467 01:10:05,920 --> 01:10:08,480 She's on track to be one of my favorite characters. 1468 01:10:08,640 --> 01:10:12,240 Yeah of this game. Like, like, like she she, she's 1469 01:10:12,240 --> 01:10:14,160 definitely top three. Yeah, for sure. 1470 01:10:14,400 --> 01:10:18,120 And it gameplay wise too, like in times where I didn't have a 1471 01:10:18,120 --> 01:10:20,800 character to add to the because we actually didn't cover the 1472 01:10:20,800 --> 01:10:25,600 Switch mechanic yet. But you have a party size of 1473 01:10:25,600 --> 01:10:27,840 four, basically 4 front row members. 1474 01:10:28,400 --> 01:10:32,160 But you also have it's a very much Final Fantasy 10 type of 1475 01:10:32,160 --> 01:10:35,400 active time or active time battle where your agility 1476 01:10:35,400 --> 01:10:37,080 determines how many times you'll get to act. 1477 01:10:37,280 --> 01:10:40,320 You see the bar that has the next few actions on there. 1478 01:10:40,480 --> 01:10:43,440 If you do like an agility break on an enemy, it might push their 1479 01:10:43,440 --> 01:10:46,120 turn further back. Unlike Trails it doesn't tell 1480 01:10:46,120 --> 01:10:48,560 you in advance how much that's going to do, which would have 1481 01:10:48,560 --> 01:10:51,000 been a nice future but you know you take what you get. 1482 01:10:51,560 --> 01:10:53,520 But also the back row characters. 1483 01:10:53,560 --> 01:10:57,240 You assign 1 character to be chained or linked to another 1484 01:10:57,240 --> 01:11:00,800 character and then you can swap them out in mid combat which has 1485 01:11:00,800 --> 01:11:04,680 a few effects mainly. It also backs your your 1486 01:11:04,840 --> 01:11:08,680 OverDrive down a little bit. So if you if your character, for 1487 01:11:08,680 --> 01:11:11,360 instance, if you just don't have a move that would take down your 1488 01:11:11,360 --> 01:11:13,760 OverDrive and you don't want to use up an item for it, you could 1489 01:11:13,760 --> 01:11:16,440 do a change and defend and then that will get you down a couple 1490 01:11:16,440 --> 01:11:21,120 of levels. Also to as you get lower in the 1491 01:11:21,920 --> 01:11:24,720 skills that you can learn as they unlock, you know, as you go 1492 01:11:24,720 --> 01:11:28,840 down, a few of the characters have HP restore when swap. 1493 01:11:28,960 --> 01:11:32,080 So like if they're getting low on HP, you can swap them out and 1494 01:11:32,080 --> 01:11:34,520 it'll give them instead of using a potion that'll give them some 1495 01:11:34,520 --> 01:11:36,680 HP backing stuff too. And that that can also be. 1496 01:11:36,680 --> 01:11:39,160 Clutch. And you could use crystals to do 1497 01:11:39,160 --> 01:11:41,840 that too, which I don't think we talked about crystals yet, but 1498 01:11:41,840 --> 01:11:44,320 you can. They're basically materia, yeah. 1499 01:11:44,400 --> 01:11:47,160 They are materia, you're right. Yeah, There's a little bit more 1500 01:11:47,160 --> 01:11:50,000 crafting involved, but not much because the way you level them 1501 01:11:50,000 --> 01:11:52,760 up isn't. It's merging basically instead 1502 01:11:52,760 --> 01:11:55,720 of frightening. Look up on Reddit, look up on 1503 01:11:55,720 --> 01:12:00,000 Reddit like a guide for doing the crystals and then just read 1504 01:12:00,000 --> 01:12:03,320 the arguments from people saying that it's absolutely worth it to 1505 01:12:03,320 --> 01:12:06,280 sync the amount of time it takes to get really good crystals if 1506 01:12:06,280 --> 01:12:07,680 you want to do the stuff in the end. 1507 01:12:08,240 --> 01:12:11,520 Or you can beat this game with completely ignoring that. 1508 01:12:11,520 --> 01:12:13,280 Won't listen to these fucking psychopaths. 1509 01:12:13,280 --> 01:12:14,520 You can just ignore the crystals. 1510 01:12:14,520 --> 01:12:15,760 They're dumb, you don't need them. 1511 01:12:16,000 --> 01:12:17,760 Just pop some in your weapon and you're good to go. 1512 01:12:18,480 --> 01:12:22,800 I leveled them up as high as I could without just grinding 1513 01:12:22,800 --> 01:12:25,080 grinding, you know what I mean? But I was able to beat the final 1514 01:12:25,080 --> 01:12:27,680 boss in the game so. And I don't know that there's 1515 01:12:27,680 --> 01:12:31,000 necessarily leveling per se in this game. 1516 01:12:31,120 --> 01:12:34,240 Progression is interesting because a lot of it is tied to 1517 01:12:34,240 --> 01:12:40,280 the storyline because basically the main currency for levelling 1518 01:12:40,280 --> 01:12:43,480 up is called grimoire shards and you get one of those basically 1519 01:12:43,480 --> 01:12:45,040 whenever you defeat a major boss. 1520 01:12:45,040 --> 01:12:47,200 But there are also a couple other ways to get them including 1521 01:12:47,200 --> 01:12:51,160 doing missions on the job board. Basically like if you get a long 1522 01:12:51,160 --> 01:12:53,200 enough streak of them then you get an extra grimoire Shard 1523 01:12:53,200 --> 01:12:54,680 which is basically a free level up. 1524 01:12:55,000 --> 01:12:58,240 But even then you're basically if the level of system is more 1525 01:12:58,240 --> 01:13:02,880 like the sphere grid from F-10 almost, and that you're picking 1526 01:13:03,240 --> 01:13:06,560 a single thing to raise. And then also sometimes when you 1527 01:13:06,560 --> 01:13:08,600 raise them enough times, your character automatically gains 1528 01:13:08,600 --> 01:13:11,840 few total stat points. But you definitely don't have 1529 01:13:11,840 --> 01:13:14,480 just like a level 15 character for instance. 1530 01:13:14,600 --> 01:13:18,480 And I feel like upgrading equipment is at least as 1531 01:13:18,480 --> 01:13:21,480 important in a lot of points of time in the game, like almost to 1532 01:13:21,480 --> 01:13:24,440 the same extent as in Trails, because there's just a massive 1533 01:13:24,440 --> 01:13:26,720 difference in how you feel going to the next level fully 1534 01:13:26,720 --> 01:13:27,320 upgraded. That's. 1535 01:13:27,520 --> 01:13:28,800 Exactly what I thought about too. 1536 01:13:28,960 --> 01:13:32,400 Well that that first time I bought new stuff and went back 1537 01:13:32,400 --> 01:13:34,640 and fought something that was hard for me and it was no longer 1538 01:13:34,640 --> 01:13:36,840 hard. I was like ah we went the trails 1539 01:13:36,840 --> 01:13:39,520 route OK. And then from then on I knew I 1540 01:13:39,520 --> 01:13:42,720 need to upgrade all my shit as much as possible, which I even 1541 01:13:42,720 --> 01:13:44,720 went around. I want to go back and do the 1542 01:13:44,720 --> 01:13:47,720 mission where it's like beat a group of crabs using only Glenn 1543 01:13:47,720 --> 01:13:50,520 because I could just barely not do that like three hours ago and 1544 01:13:50,520 --> 01:13:53,800 now I'm sure I can. Oh yeah, go go kick that crab's 1545 01:13:53,800 --> 01:13:57,200 ass dog. I ended up going around and 1546 01:13:57,200 --> 01:14:00,000 collecting the rusty weapons. I don't what is that? 1547 01:14:00,080 --> 01:14:03,720 So there are rusty weapons and eventually, and I'm talking like 1548 01:14:03,840 --> 01:14:07,720 Act 4, when you know, you're at the point where you can go beat 1549 01:14:07,720 --> 01:14:09,120 the game or you can do side stuff. 1550 01:14:09,160 --> 01:14:11,880 There's a floating island you can find that has a blacksmith 1551 01:14:11,880 --> 01:14:13,440 on it. And if you bring him the rusty 1552 01:14:13,440 --> 01:14:15,960 weapons, he restores them because they are weapons that he 1553 01:14:15,960 --> 01:14:19,240 created and they are like the legendary weapons. 1554 01:14:19,240 --> 01:14:23,680 Sounds very Final Fantasy. Yeah, it's fucking fucking 1555 01:14:23,680 --> 01:14:25,560 brutal, man, that the blacksmiths like, do. 1556 01:14:25,680 --> 01:14:27,440 You ever have a dodge weapon 100 times? 1557 01:14:27,920 --> 01:14:29,680 And I hate these weapons. No you don't. 1558 01:14:29,680 --> 01:14:33,640 Which is think fuck, but he's like, I love these weapons and I 1559 01:14:33,640 --> 01:14:35,200 hate these weapons. They always seem to find their 1560 01:14:35,200 --> 01:14:38,600 way back to me. And Glenn's like, well, 1561 01:14:38,600 --> 01:14:40,560 shouldn't that mean you're you're proud of your creations 1562 01:14:40,560 --> 01:14:42,040 or whatever? He goes, yes, but that means 1563 01:14:42,040 --> 01:14:44,760 that the person who wielded it was dead now, you know, and it's 1564 01:14:44,760 --> 01:14:46,280 just like there's a weight to it. 1565 01:14:46,360 --> 01:14:49,200 And then you're just like the whole tone of the conversation 1566 01:14:49,200 --> 01:14:51,560 changes and he's like, bring me these weapons if you find them 1567 01:14:51,560 --> 01:14:53,400 and I will restore them for you. Oh, that was. 1568 01:14:53,560 --> 01:14:55,440 There was one thing in first impressions I forgot to point 1569 01:14:55,440 --> 01:14:58,040 out, which was there is basically a section that is the 1570 01:14:58,080 --> 01:15:01,200 millennial fair from from a trigger with a bunch of silly 1571 01:15:01,200 --> 01:15:04,200 little games you can play for. It wasn't called silver points, 1572 01:15:04,200 --> 01:15:06,480 but it was basically silver points and. 1573 01:15:06,520 --> 01:15:12,240 Oh yeah, with Victor. Yes, it was for Victor and the 1574 01:15:12,240 --> 01:15:15,920 music that plays when you do the turtle race was so over the top, 1575 01:15:15,920 --> 01:15:19,520 like blasting metal that I guess the fuck up at that. 1576 01:15:19,640 --> 01:15:22,360 I totally forgot about that because it was so early on and I 1577 01:15:22,360 --> 01:15:25,320 played it a month ago. But dude, yes, you start the 1578 01:15:25,320 --> 01:15:30,920 turtle race and it's like 321 go and this ripping like dragon 1579 01:15:30,920 --> 01:15:33,760 Force fucking song starts playing and these turtles start 1580 01:15:33,760 --> 01:15:38,920 slowly moving across the thing. Oh man, that was great dude. 1581 01:15:38,920 --> 01:15:42,400 And then you play the guy who says he's the best rock, paper 1582 01:15:42,400 --> 01:15:45,080 scissors player ever, and then you beat him and he's like not 1583 01:15:45,080 --> 01:15:48,120 playing you anymore. Yeah, he like walks away. 1584 01:15:49,840 --> 01:15:51,760 That was great too, that. Sounds like something I would 1585 01:15:51,760 --> 01:15:53,800 do. I I would be like, I retire 1586 01:15:53,800 --> 01:15:55,680 undefeated. Cuz there are like people around 1587 01:15:55,680 --> 01:15:58,000 town that are like 3 people that give you hints as to what the 1588 01:15:58,000 --> 01:15:59,920 rock paper scissors champion does. 1589 01:16:00,160 --> 01:16:02,920 And if you find all three of them, it's a pretty simple logic 1590 01:16:02,920 --> 01:16:04,600 puzzle. Yeah, yeah, I just beat him. 1591 01:16:05,040 --> 01:16:06,560 Yeah, I got a first. Shot, I just went in there. 1592 01:16:06,680 --> 01:16:08,520 I just went in there and brute forced him and just beat him. 1593 01:16:08,520 --> 01:16:10,720 And then I went around and talked to everybody and was 1594 01:16:10,720 --> 01:16:13,000 like, oh, this would have been fucking helpful, Yeah. 1595 01:16:13,400 --> 01:16:17,680 Yeah, but then you you gather up a whole bunch of points, you go 1596 01:16:17,680 --> 01:16:19,880 to turn them in, and there's some really, really cool 1597 01:16:19,880 --> 01:16:23,120 weapons. Awesome names, they all sound 1598 01:16:23,120 --> 01:16:25,520 very.

Job with getting the characters 1606 01:16:43,840 --> 01:16:45,320 introduced in the beginning because they have like a 1607 01:16:45,320 --> 01:16:47,520 continuous way of getting through the first few. 1608 01:16:47,680 --> 01:16:48,880 Yeah. And that that. 1609 01:16:48,880 --> 01:16:52,680 Transition and they managed to they managed to throw in like 1610 01:16:52,720 --> 01:16:55,840 gameplay in between introducing your initial party. 1611 01:16:56,160 --> 01:16:59,720 Yeah, it was really well done. Like, like that, like day-to-day 1612 01:16:59,720 --> 01:17:06,080 stuff like Lean and Rob are just going through and doing their 1613 01:17:06,080 --> 01:17:07,040 jobs. Yeah. 1614 01:17:07,040 --> 01:17:08,760 And. Doing security in the city guard 1615 01:17:08,760 --> 01:17:12,440 for the. Festival yeah and and see trying 1616 01:17:12,440 --> 01:17:16,680 to hide and and steal and and Victor is just trying to have 1617 01:17:16,680 --> 01:17:19,160 fun and yeah it's it's just cool. 1618 01:17:19,160 --> 01:17:23,600 And then and then part way through Sienna doing Sienna 1619 01:17:23,600 --> 01:17:29,040 things Glenn and whatever's name has come back and. 1620 01:17:29,240 --> 01:17:30,880 And you end up with them. They're like, Oh yeah, they're 1621 01:17:30,880 --> 01:17:32,280 the ones I played as at the beginning. 1622 01:17:32,480 --> 01:17:34,000 I. Actually did not expect them to 1623 01:17:34,000 --> 01:17:36,080 make it through that intro. Yeah. 1624 01:17:36,360 --> 01:17:37,960 Yeah. I thought they were dead too. 1625 01:17:38,000 --> 01:17:39,400 Yeah. I thought it was one of those 1626 01:17:39,400 --> 01:17:42,360 cases of, you know, now we're taking over as these other 1627 01:17:42,360 --> 01:17:43,920 people. That's just kind of what 1628 01:17:43,920 --> 01:17:45,680 happened, but. Yeah, 'cause it, it was like a 1629 01:17:45,760 --> 01:17:49,360 year later, flash forward after that and what happened at the 1630 01:17:49,400 --> 01:17:52,800 end was they basically create, they basically were in the very 1631 01:17:52,800 --> 01:17:54,880 center of a magic nuke. So. 1632 01:17:55,320 --> 01:17:59,680 Yeah, literally yeah. Sienna was my favorite character 1633 01:17:59,680 --> 01:18:02,480 of this entire game. Sienna is actually the one that 1634 01:18:02,480 --> 01:18:06,280 made me realize oh oh, OK, this is an adult team story. 1635 01:18:06,800 --> 01:18:10,440 She dropped a big ol F bomb like not long after you meet her. 1636 01:18:10,560 --> 01:18:14,160 Yeah, it was to the guy that sells the passports. 1637 01:18:14,320 --> 01:18:17,440 She says something like we're we're not taking any more of 1638 01:18:17,440 --> 01:18:20,240 your fucking shit. Yeah, yeah, Up until now they're 1639 01:18:20,240 --> 01:18:22,840 gonna be like one ass and one annoying prick. 1640 01:18:22,840 --> 01:18:24,760 And that was it. And the annoying prick was in 1641 01:18:24,760 --> 01:18:29,200 regards to the same guy too. I'm just like, oh, she's feisty. 1642 01:18:29,520 --> 01:18:31,520 Yeah. And that does not relent. 1643 01:18:31,520 --> 01:18:33,320 She's that way the entire game. Yeah. 1644 01:18:33,480 --> 01:18:34,800 She gets higher. Games I. 1645 01:18:35,640 --> 01:18:36,760 Mean. She does. 1646 01:18:36,760 --> 01:18:39,480 She's the kind of like the Han Solo character of the game. 1647 01:18:39,480 --> 01:18:43,000 You know, She's like the bad ass that is, again, not really with 1648 01:18:43,000 --> 01:18:46,280 the party because she's on their side, but she kind of is at this 1649 01:18:46,280 --> 01:18:48,000 point. Yeah, that makes sense to me. 1650 01:18:48,400 --> 01:18:51,880 I mean, she ends up warming up to to everybody and joining 1651 01:18:51,880 --> 01:18:53,840 their side. But but before that. 1652 01:18:53,840 --> 01:18:55,600 Like I said, Han Solo. Yeah. 1653 01:18:55,920 --> 01:18:58,720 Yeah, she's just getting because she's either getting paid or 1654 01:18:58,720 --> 01:19:01,320 because it's convenient to her. But you know, it's how like it's 1655 01:19:01,320 --> 01:19:04,080 always convenient for Goku and Vegito work on the same side. 1656 01:19:04,440 --> 01:19:07,120 Right. So I'm curious as to who you've 1657 01:19:07,120 --> 01:19:09,480 always have in your party right now is like your main for? 1658 01:19:10,440 --> 01:19:14,640 My current front is Glenn Victor. 1659 01:19:15,520 --> 01:19:19,160 Glenn Victor. I don't remember the character's 1660 01:19:19,160 --> 01:19:21,960 name. The he's a he's one of the Beast 1661 01:19:21,960 --> 01:19:23,640 men. He's the mage type 1. 1662 01:19:24,120 --> 01:19:25,640 Ball throws. Thank you. 1663 01:19:25,800 --> 01:19:27,800 I keep wanting to call him Balthazar, and I know that's not 1664 01:19:27,800 --> 01:19:30,280 right. Yeah, Balthres, thank you to him 1665 01:19:30,280 --> 01:19:33,600 and Sienna. And then I have them paired up 1666 01:19:33,600 --> 01:19:35,640 with basically really similar archetypes. 1667 01:19:36,040 --> 01:19:41,720 So I have, I think I have, I have Victor with Amalia, Sienna, 1668 01:19:41,720 --> 01:19:47,400 Sienna with Sienna with Rob, Glenn with, I don't remember, 1669 01:19:47,720 --> 01:19:50,240 Glenn might be on his own right now and Victoria. 1670 01:19:50,320 --> 01:19:52,560 Glenn is on his own for me right now, yeah. 1671 01:19:53,080 --> 01:19:54,120 But I had to have people on their own. 1672 01:19:54,120 --> 01:19:56,440 I had Glenn and Sienna on their own for the longest times 1673 01:19:56,560 --> 01:19:59,000 because it's like I never doesn't much use out of Rob for 1674 01:19:59,160 --> 01:20:00,960 to be honest, I didn't want to leave him in the front of the 1675 01:20:00,960 --> 01:20:02,080 party. He's. 1676 01:20:02,160 --> 01:20:05,440 Rob's on my back end too, but he's. 1677 01:20:05,760 --> 01:20:07,880 Occasionally really useful, especially like because I 1678 01:20:07,880 --> 01:20:10,960 haven't with Sienna, that means that I can use Sienna to inflict 1679 01:20:10,960 --> 01:20:13,400 bleed, then use Rob to inflict poison on the next turn. 1680 01:20:13,400 --> 01:20:15,480 So that's a nice back-to-back when I need to get bunch of 1681 01:20:15,480 --> 01:20:17,720 damage over Tom. I was going to say, I usually 1682 01:20:17,720 --> 01:20:21,080 use Rob to to inflict status and then I'll bounce, but I don't 1683 01:20:21,080 --> 01:20:24,200 know why he's on my back end considering I always end up 1684 01:20:24,200 --> 01:20:25,920 switching to him. I've got him paired with Lean 1685 01:20:25,920 --> 01:20:27,840 just because that makes the most sense to me. 1686 01:20:28,160 --> 01:20:30,840 Yeah. And, and a lot of the time too, 1687 01:20:30,840 --> 01:20:34,840 like if I switch to Rob, it's because there's nobody on the 1688 01:20:34,840 --> 01:20:39,760 map that can handle that, that Lean has strength against or 1689 01:20:39,760 --> 01:20:42,040 that are that are weak to Lean's elemental attacks. 1690 01:20:42,240 --> 01:20:43,920 That's what I have heard with Belle Fazar. 1691 01:20:43,920 --> 01:20:46,480 It's because that way I can switch from the elemental ones 1692 01:20:46,480 --> 01:20:48,560 to light and dark because he has light and dark spells. 1693 01:20:48,760 --> 01:20:54,400 See I I have him paired with Bethras because or no no, I have 1694 01:20:54,560 --> 01:20:56,760 what the heck is his name? I have him paired with Sienna 1695 01:20:57,040 --> 01:21:01,240 because if I'm not going for raw damage, I'm going for elemental 1696 01:21:01,240 --> 01:21:02,240 attacks. Gotcha. 1697 01:21:02,520 --> 01:21:04,880 Yeah. And so I want him and lean on 1698 01:21:04,880 --> 01:21:08,800 the map at the same time just so I can just so I can cover like 1699 01:21:09,000 --> 01:21:10,680 if I have to cover multiple weaknesses. 1700 01:21:10,880 --> 01:21:13,840 I just remembered I have Glenn paired with Temco or whatever 1701 01:21:13,840 --> 01:21:15,720 his name is, but I basically never use them. 1702 01:21:15,960 --> 01:21:17,600 Somebody I haven't met yet. Yeah. 1703 01:21:18,200 --> 01:21:20,040 Yeah, we were gonna talk about a few characters that you haven't 1704 01:21:20,040 --> 01:21:22,880 met, because in order to talk about my party, we're gonna have 1705 01:21:22,880 --> 01:21:25,360 to talk about characters that you have not met, possibly will 1706 01:21:25,360 --> 01:21:27,120 not even unlock. Well, I did. 1707 01:21:28,240 --> 01:21:33,120 I did look at an article that said like, sorry, I did look at 1708 01:21:33,120 --> 01:21:38,000 an article that said the best of They ranked the characters from 1709 01:21:38,000 --> 01:21:42,960 12:00 to 1:00, so I know who I know who some of them are. 1710 01:21:43,240 --> 01:21:46,480 Yeah, I got, I got the minor spoiler from a screenshot that 1711 01:21:46,480 --> 01:21:48,960 Kylian would leave the party and it would otherwise fill up. 1712 01:21:48,960 --> 01:21:50,960 So I knew there would be at least nine characters, but 1713 01:21:50,960 --> 01:21:52,160 that's all I know now. It's the nine. 1714 01:21:52,160 --> 01:21:53,360 I think so. Yeah. 1715 01:21:53,360 --> 01:21:57,920 So no, they were, they ranked. They ranked the characters from, 1716 01:21:58,040 --> 01:22:00,040 you know, from from wherever to wherever. 1717 01:22:00,200 --> 01:22:05,600 And some of them they're like, you know, by time you get this 1718 01:22:05,600 --> 01:22:09,240 character, it's really too late to take full advantage because 1719 01:22:09,240 --> 01:22:13,120 you probably already have a fully established party and you 1720 01:22:13,120 --> 01:22:14,840 can only have eight people in your party. 1721 01:22:14,840 --> 01:22:16,800 So OK. That. 1722 01:22:16,800 --> 01:22:18,800 So that's back in front. Yeah, that makes sense. 1723 01:22:18,800 --> 01:22:20,600 Yeah, that's that's back in front. 1724 01:22:20,600 --> 01:22:23,280 So there's going to end up being characters that are 1725 01:22:23,720 --> 01:22:27,960 underutilized at the same time they're throwing new party 1726 01:22:27,960 --> 01:22:30,080 members at you even when you think you're at the end of the 1727 01:22:30,080 --> 01:22:31,200 game. And that's kind of cool. 1728 01:22:31,360 --> 01:22:32,400 OK. That is awesome. 1729 01:22:32,640 --> 01:22:35,360 Yeah. Like I have kind of a small 1730 01:22:35,360 --> 01:22:39,720 thought that maybe the Beast dude that was with Glenn and was 1731 01:22:39,720 --> 01:22:43,600 it with Glenn and Glenn and Kylan in the first the intro 1732 01:22:43,600 --> 01:22:46,400 scene, that dude, I would be like, I wouldn't be surprised. 1733 01:22:46,480 --> 01:22:48,120 I wouldn't be too surprised if he came back because I thought 1734 01:22:48,120 --> 01:22:50,560 I'd remember it hanging him around in the menu for a little 1735 01:22:50,560 --> 01:22:52,760 while longer. Oh yeah, both, both of those 1736 01:22:52,760 --> 01:22:56,040 characters are still in the menu if they're if they have stuff 1737 01:22:56,040 --> 01:22:58,760 equipped to them, which for me they do, yeah. 1738 01:22:59,440 --> 01:23:01,400 They'll. Be you could, yeah. 1739 01:23:01,400 --> 01:23:03,400 You you could still see them. That doesn't necessarily mean 1740 01:23:03,400 --> 01:23:06,520 they're still alive. True, but I'm holding out hope 1741 01:23:06,520 --> 01:23:08,680 that they are still around. So let's give a brief 1742 01:23:08,680 --> 01:23:10,520 description to some characters, and then we'll talk about the 1743 01:23:10,520 --> 01:23:12,920 ones that I have too. Sienna. 1744 01:23:12,920 --> 01:23:14,240 We've already talked about her thief. 1745 01:23:14,320 --> 01:23:17,720 Just overall badass Glenn. Thief but also samurai kind of 1746 01:23:17,720 --> 01:23:18,920 too. Like a lot of her attacks are 1747 01:23:18,920 --> 01:23:21,160 really samurai animated and she uses Cortana. 1748 01:23:21,400 --> 01:23:26,200 She definitely has a Cortana. Glenn main character has some 1749 01:23:26,200 --> 01:23:28,320 issues going on that you're trying to figure out. 1750 01:23:28,640 --> 01:23:31,160 Victor Abard. He's Heisenberg. 1751 01:23:31,280 --> 01:23:33,440 He's far more popular, everyone loves him. 1752 01:23:33,720 --> 01:23:37,320 Yeah, you know, there there's a lot to Victor that I I I'm 1753 01:23:37,600 --> 01:23:39,560 concerned I'm going to figure out so. 1754 01:23:39,880 --> 01:23:42,760 Lena, as I called her. Yeah, I was on the planet too. 1755 01:23:43,200 --> 01:23:46,560 She is a girl who is also a Princess. 1756 01:23:47,080 --> 01:23:48,880 She's a badass. She has a a spear. 1757 01:23:49,040 --> 01:23:54,800 Then we have Bathras. He is like this lizard man but 1758 01:23:54,800 --> 01:23:57,040 his arms are made of metal like Jax. 1759 01:23:58,080 --> 01:24:00,760 Be prepared to have your heart broken when you find out fucking 1760 01:24:00,760 --> 01:24:04,040 why. I know, I just found out before 1761 01:24:04,040 --> 01:24:06,120 we start recording. Yeah, I found out. 1762 01:24:06,120 --> 01:24:07,640 Sort of. Okay, I don't know the full 1763 01:24:07,640 --> 01:24:09,160 reason, I just know I know what tell. 1764 01:24:09,160 --> 01:24:11,960 Me what you found out? I will tell my reason and then 1765 01:24:11,960 --> 01:24:15,000 I'm gonna take my headphones off so Willie could give his reason. 1766 01:24:16,080 --> 01:24:21,040 I found out that he is cursed. He was granted A wish and the 1767 01:24:21,040 --> 01:24:24,360 price for said wish was his arms. 1768 01:24:24,480 --> 01:24:27,160 That is only slightly less than what I know, yeah. 1769 01:24:27,480 --> 01:24:29,840 But I do know a little bit more. OK, all right, pop your. 1770 01:24:29,840 --> 01:24:31,480 Headphones off real quick. I'll give you a thumbs up when 1771 01:24:31,480 --> 01:24:32,360 we're done all. Right. 1772 01:24:32,480 --> 01:24:35,720 That basically when you make the pact of the curse, you have to 1773 01:24:35,720 --> 01:24:38,560 give up something valuable, and what you give up is 1774 01:24:38,960 --> 01:24:40,840 proportionate to the power you receive. 1775 01:24:41,040 --> 01:24:44,240 So he chose to gave up his limbs, but I don't know why or 1776 01:24:44,240 --> 01:24:47,120 why he took the curse. One time I've seen someone take 1777 01:24:47,120 --> 01:24:49,560 the curse, it was because they were about to die. 1778 01:24:49,960 --> 01:24:51,880 OK. Oh, hold on, Don. 1779 01:24:52,040 --> 01:24:54,760 Don's still talking. No, I was just going to say, do 1780 01:24:55,120 --> 01:24:57,440 you, do you want to know more? I don't know if I want to spell 1781 01:24:57,440 --> 01:25:00,320 that for you. I'll say you're good. 1782 01:25:00,520 --> 01:25:03,480 I wish you'd watched the screen. I actually had to turn the 1783 01:25:03,480 --> 01:25:05,800 volume down to my headphones because I still heard you guys 1784 01:25:05,800 --> 01:25:07,880 clearly. Might be so. 1785 01:25:08,560 --> 01:25:10,640 No, no, it's, it's, it's fine. I turned. 1786 01:25:10,640 --> 01:25:12,960 I didn't hear anything. I just, I heard you start 1787 01:25:13,200 --> 01:25:14,360 talking. I'm like, oh crap. 1788 01:25:14,360 --> 01:25:16,240 I got I got to turn down my headphone volume. 1789 01:25:16,720 --> 01:25:19,680 OK, so you've noticed how Bathurst talks, right? 1790 01:25:20,040 --> 01:25:22,840 Oh yeah, I hadn't thought about that yet. 1791 01:25:23,000 --> 01:25:25,800 OK, so there is a cutscene later on in the game. 1792 01:25:26,120 --> 01:25:28,760 Oh God, that. Is going to explain the chorus 1793 01:25:28,840 --> 01:25:33,120 or the curse and it's going to explain how he got and his arms 1794 01:25:33,280 --> 01:25:35,720 and it it shows everything right? 1795 01:25:35,920 --> 01:25:39,840 It is heart wrenching. It's brutal. 1796 01:25:39,960 --> 01:25:42,840 And that's all I'm going to say. Logan, you motherfucker, you 1797 01:25:42,840 --> 01:25:47,080 could have warned me about, but man, it's impactful. 1798 01:25:47,440 --> 01:25:51,800 So you get a whole new aspect of Blathras as the game goes on. 1799 01:25:51,960 --> 01:25:55,040 And that fucking happens with almost every character. 1800 01:25:55,160 --> 01:25:57,760 Like it's, it's wild the revelations that happened 1801 01:25:57,760 --> 01:26:00,280 throughout this game. You mean eventually I'm gonna 1802 01:26:00,280 --> 01:26:02,080 start liking Rob? By the. 1803 01:26:02,200 --> 01:26:03,840 End of just made by the end of the. 1804 01:26:03,840 --> 01:26:07,760 Game By the end of the game I liked Rob, but I did not like 1805 01:26:07,760 --> 01:26:10,120 him for a lot of this game. I I think he. 1806 01:26:10,120 --> 01:26:12,040 Should. Have been more enthusiastic 1807 01:26:12,040 --> 01:26:14,680 because I think what they wanted was for him to be Steiner from 1808 01:26:14,680 --> 01:26:18,600 Final Fantasy 9. Yeah, but like a bloodthirsty 1809 01:26:18,600 --> 01:26:20,760 Steiner. Oh yeah, yeah, he does like, 1810 01:26:20,800 --> 01:26:23,840 immediately try to, like, cut people down and Lena has to stop 1811 01:26:23,840 --> 01:26:25,240 him. Yeah, he's quick. 1812 01:26:25,240 --> 01:26:28,600 To kill people, Yeah. So the the characters that 1813 01:26:28,600 --> 01:26:31,520 you'll unlock, the one that Willie got today, Tom Kay. 1814 01:26:31,880 --> 01:26:33,400 I got two of them actually today. 1815 01:26:33,600 --> 01:26:36,440 Oh, did you? OK, well there's Tom Kay, and 1816 01:26:36,440 --> 01:26:39,880 he's like this goat guy who just eats things because he's a 1817 01:26:39,880 --> 01:26:41,400 fucking goat. Well, that's the kind of The 1818 01:26:41,400 --> 01:26:43,480 thing is he's the quite a Quin of the party because he 1819 01:26:43,480 --> 01:26:45,760 basically gains Blue Magic from eating enemies. 1820 01:26:45,760 --> 01:26:47,120 That's. About to say he's basically a 1821 01:26:47,120 --> 01:26:48,880 Blue Mage. Yeah, that's what you said 1822 01:26:48,880 --> 01:26:51,040 earlier. I didn't really use him much. 1823 01:26:51,160 --> 01:26:53,480 Yeah, I have him. I have him linked to someone and 1824 01:26:53,480 --> 01:26:57,400 I just never change because I I keep not fighting cannibal 1825 01:26:57,400 --> 01:27:00,160 enemies anyway. So another character that you 1826 01:27:00,160 --> 01:27:01,960 get is Eagle. Look, I haven't met that one 1827 01:27:01,960 --> 01:27:02,840 yet. Me neither. 1828 01:27:02,840 --> 01:27:04,760 OK, I don't. Even think I've met them before. 1829 01:27:04,880 --> 01:27:07,600 So Eagle was this bird guy. I don't know what gives that 1830 01:27:07,600 --> 01:27:11,080 away. I'm sorry but I'm imagining Sam 1831 01:27:11,080 --> 01:27:14,160 the Eagle for Muppets and it's it's making me very happy to 1832 01:27:14,160 --> 01:27:17,080 just imagine him travelling with the gang and absolutely no one 1833 01:27:17,080 --> 01:27:18,560 acts like anything is different about it. 1834 01:27:18,680 --> 01:27:20,680 Not too far off. Really. 1835 01:27:21,120 --> 01:27:24,520 Like you'll see, like he doesn't look like Sam the Eagle, but he 1836 01:27:24,520 --> 01:27:26,560 also looks like he could be Sam the Eagle, if that makes any 1837 01:27:26,560 --> 01:27:28,960 sense. He's a really cool character. 1838 01:27:29,080 --> 01:27:32,080 When you meet him, you have to do stuff for his village, which 1839 01:27:32,080 --> 01:27:33,640 is a village full of bird people. 1840 01:27:34,040 --> 01:27:36,280 Cool. And then like what happens to 1841 01:27:36,280 --> 01:27:38,880 that village is fucking heart wrenching. 1842 01:27:39,480 --> 01:27:41,760 Oh damn. You're gonna keep hearing me use 1843 01:27:41,760 --> 01:27:43,560 those two words. Heart wrenching. 1844 01:27:43,600 --> 01:27:46,360 I guess that's yeah. But because this game. 1845 01:27:47,240 --> 01:27:50,240 It goes from really light and fun to there's a sudden moment 1846 01:27:50,240 --> 01:27:53,240 where people start having a really bad time and I can only 1847 01:27:53,240 --> 01:27:56,760 see it going downhill from here. That's the Final Fantasy 6 vibe 1848 01:27:56,760 --> 01:28:00,200 I got, except I feel like this game executed it better as far 1849 01:28:00,200 --> 01:28:02,800 as bad shit and they lighten it a little. 1850 01:28:03,160 --> 01:28:08,480 There was a lot of Final Fantasy 6 DNA in this. 1851 01:28:08,960 --> 01:28:09,920 Yeah, sure. Right. 1852 01:28:09,920 --> 01:28:13,000 For the fact that it's OK for us to spoil Act One, right? 1853 01:28:13,160 --> 01:28:14,480 Yeah, I think we've all beaten Act one. 1854 01:28:14,720 --> 01:28:16,800 I mean, I'm gonna, I'm gonna say some spoilers later too, don't 1855 01:28:16,800 --> 01:28:20,520 get me wrong, but. So no, just in act one the party 1856 01:28:20,520 --> 01:28:23,240 gets split and you. Very much like the river scene 1857 01:28:23,240 --> 01:28:25,760 in Final Fantasy 6, right? Exactly. 1858 01:28:25,760 --> 01:28:28,400 Parties. The only difference is that that 1859 01:28:28,400 --> 01:28:32,240 they all have their own bosses, but it's a lot shorter because 1860 01:28:32,240 --> 01:28:36,920 if you remember Final Fantasy 6, you had locks, which was kind of 1861 01:28:36,920 --> 01:28:40,280 short. You had the one who said you 1862 01:28:40,280 --> 01:28:42,520 had. You had you had Edgar and 1863 01:28:42,520 --> 01:28:45,640 Saban's, which was long as hell. Is that the one that went where 1864 01:28:45,640 --> 01:28:50,560 they met Bannon or was that? No, Bannon was Tara. 1865 01:28:50,560 --> 01:28:53,120 Tara, I believe. Oh yeah, Tara. 1866 01:28:53,120 --> 01:28:55,160 That's the last. The Tara one took forever. 1867 01:28:55,160 --> 01:28:56,520 That's where you meet the ninja and all. 1868 01:28:56,520 --> 01:28:58,240 That yeah. No, no. 1869 01:28:58,240 --> 01:29:00,800 No, no, no. That's that's Edgar and Saban. 1870 01:29:01,200 --> 01:29:02,040 Oh, OK. Oh. 1871 01:29:02,280 --> 01:29:03,720 Oh no, that's not Edgar and Saban. 1872 01:29:03,720 --> 01:29:05,320 That's freaking. I don't even remember. 1873 01:29:05,320 --> 01:29:07,600 It's been so long. Saban's in there. 1874 01:29:07,760 --> 01:29:09,920 I know that part. I do remember him being there 1875 01:29:09,920 --> 01:29:13,080 because I like his moves, yeah. Well, he's the one who suplexes 1876 01:29:13,080 --> 01:29:14,440 the train. Exactly. 1877 01:29:14,440 --> 01:29:16,640 It's. Crowd pleasing maneuver. 1878 01:29:16,720 --> 01:29:18,760 Yeah, So you're going to eventually meet a character 1879 01:29:18,760 --> 01:29:21,680 named Magnolia, OK. She's like this little witch 1880 01:29:21,680 --> 01:29:25,000 chick who helps you do some stuff and then eventually I. 1881 01:29:25,080 --> 01:29:27,480 Think. I've actually run into Magnolia 1882 01:29:27,480 --> 01:29:29,160 but wasn't able to do anything with her. 1883 01:29:29,320 --> 01:29:31,880 She runs a little shop. Yes, I think I found her a 1884 01:29:31,880 --> 01:29:34,120 little shop, but I don't think she had any interest in us at 1885 01:29:34,120 --> 01:29:36,000 the moment. OK, you will have to end up 1886 01:29:36,000 --> 01:29:38,560 going back and talking and her eventually and then later on 1887 01:29:38,560 --> 01:29:40,760 like way later in the game you can get an opportunity to get 1888 01:29:40,760 --> 01:29:44,400 her in your party if you do a side quest and then another one. 1889 01:29:44,560 --> 01:29:46,680 Micah. Have either of you heard of or 1890 01:29:46,680 --> 01:29:52,120 have Micah? No, I just, I just, I just 1891 01:29:52,120 --> 01:29:56,360 posted in our host chat where I am in the game. 1892 01:29:56,760 --> 01:30:00,640 The only thing I'm gonna, the only thing I'm gonna say is 1893 01:30:00,880 --> 01:30:02,600 controller is vibrating like crazy right now. 1894 01:30:04,320 --> 01:30:06,280 And it's on his balls. It kind of actually it is. 1895 01:30:06,280 --> 01:30:09,360 I put it down for a second. Yeah, that that was an accident. 1896 01:30:09,360 --> 01:30:12,480 But yes, that happened. I'm not sure I remember this 1897 01:30:12,480 --> 01:30:13,520 screen. Oh wait, yes I do. 1898 01:30:13,520 --> 01:30:17,120 OK, yes. So Micah is the granddaughter of 1899 01:30:17,120 --> 01:30:22,360 Tom K Oh and much like in Final Fantasy 6 when you find the 1900 01:30:22,360 --> 01:30:28,280 little kid, she's a bad ass monk and she beats ass and she is was 1901 01:30:28,280 --> 01:30:31,720 in my final party. My final party when I beat the 1902 01:30:31,720 --> 01:30:37,960 game was Glenn, Lena, Micah and Sienna and then I had Victor, 1903 01:30:38,800 --> 01:30:44,040 Magnolia, Rob and someone elses name I can't think of right now 1904 01:30:44,200 --> 01:30:47,120 on the on the back end and I would switch out heels when 1905 01:30:47,120 --> 01:30:50,520 needed and shit like that. But there was 1 character, one 1906 01:30:50,720 --> 01:30:53,440 single character I did not get and I'm so fucking mad at 1907 01:30:53,440 --> 01:30:55,680 myself. Later on, there's a character 1908 01:30:55,680 --> 01:30:58,960 named Rafael that you'll meet. Wait, you keep recruit Rafael? 1909 01:30:59,240 --> 01:31:02,440 So way later in the game, you find him or you, there's this 1910 01:31:02,440 --> 01:31:05,680 little girl who keeps running away from a village and you're 1911 01:31:05,680 --> 01:31:08,640 asked to track her down. So you go and track her down and 1912 01:31:08,640 --> 01:31:11,200 she keeps taking food and bringing it to this place. 1913 01:31:11,280 --> 01:31:14,600 And you go in and Rafael is in there and she keeps bringing him 1914 01:31:14,600 --> 01:31:18,280 food. And she's like, I think Sienna's 1915 01:31:18,280 --> 01:31:22,560 like, Rafael, how the fuck? Why are you just here with this 1916 01:31:22,560 --> 01:31:24,960 little girl, just letting her feed you like, what the hell are 1917 01:31:24,960 --> 01:31:26,920 you doing? He goes, look around. 1918 01:31:26,920 --> 01:31:28,760 Does it look like I've eaten any of the food? 1919 01:31:29,120 --> 01:31:32,280 I came here to die peacefully and she won't leave me alone. 1920 01:31:32,400 --> 01:31:35,160 So that I saw that whole cutscene. 1921 01:31:35,280 --> 01:31:37,400 And then apparently he leaves and there's something else 1922 01:31:37,400 --> 01:31:38,880 you're supposed to do and you can recruit him. 1923 01:31:38,880 --> 01:31:41,080 And I didn't do that, so that's on me. 1924 01:31:41,240 --> 01:31:42,120 But. Keep an eye out for. 1925 01:31:42,120 --> 01:31:44,560 I did notice that there was a character I'm currently using 1926 01:31:44,560 --> 01:31:46,600 that didn't make your list, so I'm guessing she's a temporary 1927 01:31:46,600 --> 01:31:47,440 party. Remember then? 1928 01:31:47,880 --> 01:31:48,440 Who? Who? 1929 01:31:49,280 --> 01:31:50,240 Princess Somalia. Oh no. 1930 01:31:50,280 --> 01:31:52,560 No, no, yeah, yeah, yeah, no, you unlock her as well. 1931 01:31:52,560 --> 01:31:54,640 I don't know why she wasn't on the list that I was looking at 1932 01:31:54,640 --> 01:31:56,880 of characters, but yeah, Amalia is another character that you 1933 01:31:56,880 --> 01:31:58,280 get. Because I've definitely got her 1934 01:31:58,280 --> 01:32:00,680 tethered to Victor because both of them basically are really 1935 01:32:00,680 --> 01:32:02,120 good healers at the start of the game. 1936 01:32:02,480 --> 01:32:04,960 So it's like if I run out of TP with Victor I can swap her in. 1937 01:32:05,040 --> 01:32:07,000 That was the character I couldn't think of. 1938 01:32:07,760 --> 01:32:09,600 That was my last switch was Amalia, yeah. 1939 01:32:10,800 --> 01:32:12,240 Because I was like. Feisty a little bit. 1940 01:32:13,680 --> 01:32:16,120 Yeah, I like that. Right now as, as I first met 1941 01:32:16,120 --> 01:32:18,680 her, she has no idea how to handle other people, which is 1942 01:32:18,680 --> 01:32:20,560 what she was like when you first saw her at the beginning of the 1943 01:32:20,560 --> 01:32:22,280 game too. But like now she's with the 1944 01:32:22,280 --> 01:32:24,920 party and she just keeps accidentally being a total ad 1945 01:32:24,920 --> 01:32:28,200 like jerk to everyone and then trying to correct in the other 1946 01:32:28,200 --> 01:32:30,640 direction and being a jerk in another direction. 1947 01:32:31,000 --> 01:32:33,880 It's kind of great. Yeah, dude, her story heart 1948 01:32:33,880 --> 01:32:35,560 wrenching. Oh, I'm sure it can be. 1949 01:32:35,640 --> 01:32:37,880 Happy with the back story. It can't be a happy because 1950 01:32:37,880 --> 01:32:40,000 there's a reason she doesn't know anybody. 1951 01:32:40,160 --> 01:32:43,720 I mean, I mean, I know like two things about her and those 1952 01:32:43,720 --> 01:32:46,400 things I know are enough to it explains why no one wants to 1953 01:32:46,400 --> 01:32:48,400 talk to her and why she doesn't talk to anyone in the early 1954 01:32:48,400 --> 01:32:51,520 game. Yeah, I will say to Victor's 1955 01:32:51,520 --> 01:32:54,880 story is probably the most wild because, you know, he's. 1956 01:32:55,080 --> 01:32:57,200 Well, he's lived 500 plus years, he's an AR. 1957 01:32:57,360 --> 01:32:58,760 Yeah, air. That's what I couldn't think. 1958 01:32:58,760 --> 01:33:00,600 I couldn't remember the name of it, but he had the air. 1959 01:33:00,600 --> 01:33:05,080 Yeah, he's lived a long ass life and that ties in in such a crazy 1960 01:33:05,080 --> 01:33:06,720 way. OK, Yeah, there's some 1961 01:33:06,960 --> 01:33:09,560 implications about a character that's lived for a really long 1962 01:33:09,560 --> 01:33:12,280 time that we're just now finding out is more than they seem. 1963 01:33:12,560 --> 01:33:14,600 And they introduce that character, letting you know that 1964 01:33:14,600 --> 01:33:17,160 they're more than they seem. So the the the the magic 1965 01:33:17,160 --> 01:33:19,760 researcher from Yeah. Yeah, Gwen. 1966 01:33:19,760 --> 01:33:22,440 Yeah, that that fucking guy. Yeah, I'm sure that that guy is 1967 01:33:22,440 --> 01:33:25,960 going to have a lot of layers to unravel since it is implied that 1968 01:33:25,960 --> 01:33:28,360 he was there for something very important that happened in the 1969 01:33:28,360 --> 01:33:29,920 past. Yes, yes. 1970 01:33:30,120 --> 01:33:32,280 And it's around this time too that you start finding out about 1971 01:33:32,280 --> 01:33:35,560 there's like these three ancient beings that look over the world 1972 01:33:35,560 --> 01:33:39,520 like God, but they kind of let humanity do its thing. 1973 01:33:39,520 --> 01:33:42,280 And when the humanity will go all Wiles out, they destroy them 1974 01:33:42,280 --> 01:33:44,360 and start it over. And it's this never ending 1975 01:33:44,360 --> 01:33:47,280 cycle. So there's some things I want to 1976 01:33:47,280 --> 01:33:50,040 talk about but they are spoiler heavy in some parts. 1977 01:33:50,120 --> 01:33:52,520 What are you boys wanting to avoid? 1978 01:33:52,520 --> 01:33:54,320 And I will try to dance around things. 1979 01:33:54,680 --> 01:33:56,880 Go ahead and talk about what you want to talk about. 1980 01:33:57,760 --> 01:33:59,760 I get the impression if you're going to give away something 1981 01:33:59,760 --> 01:34:01,160 really huge, you're going to tell us. 1982 01:34:01,160 --> 01:34:05,040 So like, we'll just try to hang. Yeah, I it's not going to ruin 1983 01:34:05,040 --> 01:34:07,280 the game for you. Anything that I say, I won't say 1984 01:34:07,280 --> 01:34:10,840 anything that'll ruin the game. Before we get to plot stuff, can 1985 01:34:10,840 --> 01:34:12,920 I bring up just a couple of other areas I wanted to talk 1986 01:34:12,920 --> 01:34:15,600 about 'cause I thought they were absolutely, Yeah. 1987 01:34:15,600 --> 01:34:18,080 One of the main things I have what I wrote down when you talk 1988 01:34:18,080 --> 01:34:22,760 about Sienna cussing is Sienna suddenly DPG ING the game six 1989 01:34:22,760 --> 01:34:26,440 hours in which I don't know, I thought that was funny, but I 1990 01:34:26,520 --> 01:34:29,600 really liked the the flower fields of Perpetua. 1991 01:34:29,920 --> 01:34:33,840 Like that was just such a like the bunch of theme song and 1992 01:34:33,840 --> 01:34:36,080 stuff. That's where you start to get 1993 01:34:36,080 --> 01:34:39,120 the sense that you're going to have to go back and revisit 1994 01:34:39,120 --> 01:34:41,360 locations. Yeah, because there's so much 1995 01:34:41,360 --> 01:34:44,560 stuff that you can tell you can't reach that you can almost 1996 01:34:44,560 --> 01:34:46,480 reach. Right, right. 1997 01:34:46,480 --> 01:34:48,160 I haven't gone back yet, I need to look for that. 1998 01:34:48,480 --> 01:34:50,960 But there's a lot of that's where you start to see the big 1999 01:34:50,960 --> 01:34:52,680 chest for the first time, too, yes. 2000 01:34:52,760 --> 01:34:55,280 Yes, it's really yeah. Or at least that's where I first 2001 01:34:55,280 --> 01:34:56,600 noticed them yet. Yeah. 2002 01:34:56,720 --> 01:35:00,640 I I kept going perpetua fields forever. 2003 01:35:01,640 --> 01:35:04,400 I really did like that and I would do that for Roland Field. 2004 01:35:05,040 --> 01:35:08,000 Yeah, I was more like keep rolling rolled and rolled and 2005 01:35:08,000 --> 01:35:11,000 rolled in field field. Yeah, yeah. 2006 01:35:11,560 --> 01:35:13,320 Yeah, the. Locations of this game. 2007 01:35:13,640 --> 01:35:16,320 There's one other area I had to note on which was this a sort of 2008 01:35:16,320 --> 01:35:18,960 2nd called Leviathan's Trench, which was just one of those like 2009 01:35:19,280 --> 01:35:22,680 classic, not quite a dungeon, not quite a tunnel thing, but I 2010 01:35:22,680 --> 01:35:26,920 love that there were monsters called the red, the red wine gin 2011 01:35:26,920 --> 01:35:30,560 and the white wine Gin and. They were just. 2012 01:35:30,600 --> 01:35:33,320 They were just, yeah. And it ends in the just it's all 2013 01:35:33,320 --> 01:35:36,840 built up to a pun because you fight those genie and they have 2014 01:35:36,840 --> 01:35:39,560 different elemental or whatever. And you get to the end of the 2015 01:35:39,560 --> 01:35:43,480 area and there's a bottle of gin that much like the white wine 2016 01:35:43,480 --> 01:35:47,320 bottles that the other guys came out of a big an even bigger gin 2017 01:35:47,320 --> 01:35:48,880 comes out, but it's a gin bottle. 2018 01:35:48,880 --> 01:35:51,320 So he's just the gin, Gin the. Gin. 2019 01:35:51,440 --> 01:35:55,840 That was that was great. Maybe there Sienna's the one who 2020 01:35:55,840 --> 01:35:57,720 makes the joke about that. Yeah. 2021 01:35:57,920 --> 01:35:59,920 Oh yeah, I don't know if we've thought on that. 2022 01:36:00,000 --> 01:36:02,240 This game's funny as fuck. Yeah. 2023 01:36:02,360 --> 01:36:05,520 Yeah, there's a lot of subtle humor. 2024 01:36:05,840 --> 01:36:09,160 Yeah there's just a lot of like little tips light oh the 2 tips 2025 01:36:09,160 --> 01:36:12,760 crack me like all the item description is good. 2026 01:36:13,000 --> 01:36:15,480 The the loot descriptions are especially good because it's 2027 01:36:15,480 --> 01:36:18,840 like loot is really only used to collect to sell to the 2028 01:36:18,840 --> 01:36:21,640 shopkeepers 'cause you don't get money after combat and if you 2029 01:36:21,640 --> 01:36:24,120 sell certain amounts of that loot then you can unlock special 2030 01:36:24,120 --> 01:36:26,600 items.

In one of the early towns and he 2138 01:41:37,640 --> 01:41:40,800 says fresh fish, I can throw it to you so you can tell your 2139 01:41:40,800 --> 01:41:42,280 family that you caught it yourself. 2140 01:41:42,320 --> 01:41:45,880 Yes, I did see that person. Cackled. 2141 01:41:45,960 --> 01:41:48,360 The worst thing is you send me that screenshot and I didn't 2142 01:41:48,360 --> 01:41:51,880 catch the actual pun until I got to that line again in the game 2143 01:41:51,880 --> 01:41:56,920 and I'm like oh caught it cuz he I'm an idiot. 2144 01:41:57,840 --> 01:41:59,840 One, there's one other thing, let me find it real quick. 2145 01:41:59,840 --> 01:42:02,840 It's later on in the game. So you will get to a point in 2146 01:42:02,840 --> 01:42:06,680 the game where you're in the sewer the second time and you're 2147 01:42:06,680 --> 01:42:09,280 if if you're doing the side stuff like I did and you're 2148 01:42:09,280 --> 01:42:11,440 looking around and you start opening chests that have already 2149 01:42:11,440 --> 01:42:14,400 been opened and they have notes in them that say this, you're 2150 01:42:14,400 --> 01:42:16,400 too late. The treasure is mine. 2151 01:42:16,440 --> 01:42:22,760 There's no need to wait. Go home and whine and it's A-BB. 2152 01:42:22,880 --> 01:42:25,440 And you guys will figure out who BB is eventually if you if you 2153 01:42:25,440 --> 01:42:27,800 go that route. I really do think I'm going to 2154 01:42:27,800 --> 01:42:30,480 do side quests and stuff because like there's a good chance I 2155 01:42:30,480 --> 01:42:33,240 might do record a follow up if I when I finish this towards the 2156 01:42:33,240 --> 01:42:35,600 end of the year. Yeah, no, I mean if you want to 2157 01:42:35,600 --> 01:42:37,960 man, by all means, because there's there's a lot to it that 2158 01:42:37,960 --> 01:42:40,840 y'all haven't seen yet. And I, you know, I was so far 2159 01:42:40,840 --> 01:42:43,760 ahead that I started purposely looking up and doing side stuff 2160 01:42:43,760 --> 01:42:46,360 so I wouldn't. The problem is when you once you 2161 01:42:46,360 --> 01:42:49,240 get the airship and stuff, the game really the the way it's 2162 01:42:49,240 --> 01:42:51,800 paced, it really does push you to start doing side quests. 2163 01:42:51,800 --> 01:42:54,840 Like it definitely feels like it's like, Are you sure you want 2164 01:42:54,840 --> 01:42:56,960 to talk to this guy and begin the next mission? 2165 01:42:57,200 --> 01:43:00,360 You could go on a nice vacation and I just started recruiting 2166 01:43:00,360 --> 01:43:02,720 people for the clan earlier, which was great because I I 2167 01:43:03,280 --> 01:43:06,960 recruited a musician in a flying airship and I've recruited a 2168 01:43:07,400 --> 01:43:09,920 insurance salesman. I have no idea what benefits 2169 01:43:09,920 --> 01:43:12,880 these people provide at. All, was there any other things 2170 01:43:12,880 --> 01:43:14,680 you wanted to talk about before I start getting into the stuff? 2171 01:43:14,680 --> 01:43:16,360 I know you said you had a few things you wanted to touch on. 2172 01:43:16,560 --> 01:43:18,920 I think Dalton or Dalton Mikkelow wanted to talk a little 2173 01:43:18,920 --> 01:43:21,360 bit about it, like exploring and re exploring areas. 2174 01:43:21,960 --> 01:43:25,680 No, I talked about that enough. What did I want to talk about, 2175 01:43:25,680 --> 01:43:27,800 though? Shoot, it wasn't. 2176 01:43:27,800 --> 01:43:29,880 Getting late for you, bud. Sorry, yeah, no, it wasn't. 2177 01:43:29,880 --> 01:43:35,080 It wasn't story related. Oh oh oh this gameplay related. 2178 01:43:35,200 --> 01:43:37,000 I need to bring this up before I lose it. 2179 01:43:37,640 --> 01:43:41,400 You heal in between battles. Oh wow, I can't believe I didn't 2180 01:43:41,400 --> 01:43:43,880 explain that when we. Yeah you get 100% of everything 2181 01:43:43,880 --> 01:43:46,080 back, HP and TP. The only stuff you don't get 2182 01:43:46,080 --> 01:43:47,960 back is items you use to put consumable. 2183 01:43:48,120 --> 01:43:50,480 It doesn't. Wonderful, make the game any 2184 01:43:50,480 --> 01:43:52,440 easier. No, but it means you're a lot. 2185 01:43:53,080 --> 01:43:55,120 If everything is a fresh start, that means you don't feel like 2186 01:43:55,120 --> 01:43:58,120 you have to save all your stuff between fights, correct? 2187 01:43:58,400 --> 01:44:01,480 Or you don't have to. You don't have to, like, save 2188 01:44:01,480 --> 01:44:04,320 your skills or anything. Yeah, but this game actually 2189 01:44:04,320 --> 01:44:06,760 does encourage you to use your skills. 2190 01:44:07,280 --> 01:44:08,160 Yes, sorry. In fact, they. 2191 01:44:08,160 --> 01:44:10,360 Literally tell you that when you go to the Adventurers Guild for 2192 01:44:10,360 --> 01:44:13,080 the first time, they're like your DP resource at the end of 2193 01:44:13,080 --> 01:44:14,800 every battle. So don't feel afraid to use your 2194 01:44:14,800 --> 01:44:17,360 attacks. Yeah, and I feel like that also 2195 01:44:17,360 --> 01:44:21,040 made dungeons a little bit strange because like, you, you 2196 01:44:21,040 --> 01:44:22,880 don't, you don't really want to save before every fight or 2197 01:44:22,880 --> 01:44:24,280 whatever. But after a fight, you're like, 2198 01:44:24,320 --> 01:44:26,840 oh, I guess I'm refreshed, but I've been in this dungeon for 30 2199 01:44:26,840 --> 01:44:28,760 minutes. I should be needing to heal by 2200 01:44:28,760 --> 01:44:30,000 now. Right. 2201 01:44:30,040 --> 01:44:31,520 Yeah. Where's the save crystal so I 2202 01:44:31,520 --> 01:44:34,320 can touch it to replenish? Exactly, I'm looking for save 2203 01:44:34,320 --> 01:44:38,000 crystals and shit. Thankfully you save whenever. 2204 01:44:38,040 --> 01:44:41,080 Yeah, and there's a good there's a really robust fast travel 2205 01:44:41,080 --> 01:44:43,240 system in this game. In fact, I even wrote a joke 2206 01:44:43,240 --> 01:44:44,480 here. When the party first splits up 2207 01:44:44,480 --> 01:44:46,720 I'm like man, if they're having so much trouble getting to the 2208 01:44:46,720 --> 01:44:48,920 White Rose in, why don't they just use the teleport crystals? 2209 01:44:51,320 --> 01:44:54,520 That's still no idea. Oh, the White Rose Inn. 2210 01:44:54,640 --> 01:44:56,520 Yeah, that was a dark. Talk about thank you. 2211 01:44:56,640 --> 01:45:03,320 That gave me trauma over moving across anything grass or plant 2212 01:45:03,320 --> 01:45:07,240 related, which actually made a little bit later in the game 2213 01:45:07,240 --> 01:45:10,640 hard because there's all tall grass that you have to walk on 2214 01:45:10,640 --> 01:45:12,680 and I didn't want to walk on it at first. 2215 01:45:13,400 --> 01:45:14,720 How do you? Think I felt when I ran over 2216 01:45:14,720 --> 01:45:16,560 every bit of that because I thought that looked cool. 2217 01:45:18,880 --> 01:45:21,080 Oh, you would have found out. What it was? 2218 01:45:22,080 --> 01:45:24,720 Oh man. There's this guy you run into 2219 01:45:25,680 --> 01:45:27,280 and you think he's like a cool old man. 2220 01:45:27,280 --> 01:45:28,640 He's going to let you stay at the end. 2221 01:45:28,640 --> 01:45:31,320 He's got all these white roses out there that like release this 2222 01:45:31,320 --> 01:45:34,080 noise when you bump into him. And it turns out that no, he's 2223 01:45:34,080 --> 01:45:36,800 actually taking people and putting them into these flowers 2224 01:45:36,800 --> 01:45:39,240 and that's their souls. And when you would run over 2225 01:45:39,240 --> 01:45:41,600 them, you were releasing the souls into the ether. 2226 01:45:41,800 --> 01:45:43,840 You were killing them. Yeah, you're as they would 2227 01:45:43,840 --> 01:45:45,880 scream. You, you would, they would 2228 01:45:45,880 --> 01:45:47,240 scream. It was gnarly. 2229 01:45:48,440 --> 01:45:50,360 That was really bad. I feel like that was one of the 2230 01:45:50,360 --> 01:45:51,960 first turning. Like when I said you hit a 2231 01:45:51,960 --> 01:45:53,640 couple turning points where like, oh, things were going to 2232 01:45:53,640 --> 01:45:56,200 be bad times from now on. That was definitely one of them. 2233 01:45:56,400 --> 01:45:58,680 Or even if the story kind of had a happyish ending, you could 2234 01:45:58,680 --> 01:46:00,000 tell it wasn't going to stay that way. 2235 01:46:00,200 --> 01:46:04,080 Yeah, both of you have lost Killian by now, right? 2236 01:46:04,200 --> 01:46:08,760 Yes, yeah, OK, that jerk. Yeah, actually I've, I just ran 2237 01:46:08,760 --> 01:46:09,960 into him again for the first time. 2238 01:46:09,960 --> 01:46:12,040 I mean, that's like literally. Wait, what? 2239 01:46:12,360 --> 01:46:13,920 I think we are. I ran. 2240 01:46:14,080 --> 01:46:15,760 No, you're farther ahead than me. 2241 01:46:15,760 --> 01:46:18,280 But I did. No, I I saw him. 2242 01:46:18,600 --> 01:46:21,120 He where I saw him. Glenn had a conversation with 2243 01:46:21,120 --> 01:46:22,080 him. Where? 2244 01:46:22,240 --> 01:46:27,520 In revisiting one of the one of the towns, I think it's in 2245 01:46:27,520 --> 01:46:30,000 Warren Shire. OK, so you aren't very far. 2246 01:46:30,040 --> 01:46:31,640 You're like minutes behind me man. 2247 01:46:31,760 --> 01:46:33,560 You're like 1 mission behind me basically. 2248 01:46:33,640 --> 01:46:36,920 Well, what? What's the check and chat? 2249 01:46:37,440 --> 01:46:39,440 I just posted a screenshot of where I am. 2250 01:46:39,800 --> 01:46:41,760 Yeah, but I don't recognize that screenshot off the top of my 2251 01:46:41,800 --> 01:46:42,960 head. So y'all are literally like 2252 01:46:42,960 --> 01:46:45,240 probably at the same point. I think we might be probably 2253 01:46:45,280 --> 01:46:47,480 actually slipped ahead of me while we were getting ready to 2254 01:46:47,480 --> 01:46:49,600 record because I did some side quests and admissions. 2255 01:46:50,200 --> 01:46:52,120 Well, no, because I spent all we. 2256 01:46:52,120 --> 01:46:55,760 Were. I I spent all that fucking with 2257 01:46:55,760 --> 01:46:57,560 my capture card. No, I've been playing it as 2258 01:46:57,560 --> 01:47:00,000 we've been talking. Oh, OK. 2259 01:47:00,280 --> 01:47:03,400 He's he's being the Co of our show because a lot of times 2260 01:47:03,400 --> 01:47:05,920 during drop frames you can tell Co's playing a game while 2261 01:47:05,920 --> 01:47:07,160 they're talking. Gotcha. 2262 01:47:07,760 --> 01:47:09,040 That's what we call him, a Co host. 2263 01:47:09,600 --> 01:47:13,160 So, so, OK, well, I, I guess I, I guess I could tell you I'm at 2264 01:47:13,160 --> 01:47:15,720 the beginning of Act three. I don't know if that coincides 2265 01:47:15,720 --> 01:47:16,400 where you are. I. 2266 01:47:16,680 --> 01:47:19,280 Don't know, the game doesn't tell me act as far as I could 2267 01:47:19,280 --> 01:47:20,120 tell. I don't remember. 2268 01:47:20,200 --> 01:47:22,240 I only know because of Steam achievements. 2269 01:47:22,640 --> 01:47:24,760 OK, I don't. I'm not on Steam on this game, 2270 01:47:24,760 --> 01:47:28,160 so that also means some in a very funny way. 2271 01:47:28,160 --> 01:47:31,600 We're both playing this on Linux E devices, but using the Windows 2272 01:47:31,600 --> 01:47:35,360 executable in Proton because I got it from dog to dog I think. 2273 01:47:36,040 --> 01:47:39,520 Yeah, I, I have it on Steam, man. 2274 01:47:39,520 --> 01:47:41,400 I, I I. Didn't think that. 2275 01:47:41,640 --> 01:47:45,080 Shoot. Because I took a mad at myself. 2276 01:47:45,960 --> 01:47:49,240 I took a + 1 to buy this game and I could have just tested 2277 01:47:49,240 --> 01:47:51,440 Alton for it. Don't worry about it, Mick. 2278 01:47:51,440 --> 01:47:52,520 Don't worry about it. What? 2279 01:47:52,560 --> 01:47:53,320 Yeah. Yes. 2280 01:47:53,320 --> 01:47:56,720 Willie got it from me. Willie got the game, but from 2281 01:47:56,720 --> 01:48:00,720 me, he totally didn't get it from a female who works out a 2282 01:48:00,720 --> 01:48:08,360 lot. Oh, OK, OK, OK, OK, OK, OK, OK. 2283 01:48:08,360 --> 01:48:13,200 Now I know why you're like, I see, I see, I see. 2284 01:48:14,440 --> 01:48:18,040 I thought I thought you shared your legitimately purchased GOG 2285 01:48:18,040 --> 01:48:19,440 copy. Installer. 2286 01:48:19,680 --> 01:48:24,000 I did share my legitimately purchased GOG copy installer. 2287 01:48:24,040 --> 01:48:26,640 Yes, but he only had it for Windows because that's the 2288 01:48:26,640 --> 01:48:30,800 system he played it on. Yes, but you can use a proton 2289 01:48:30,800 --> 01:48:32,520 layer. Yes, and that's why I'm using a 2290 01:48:32,520 --> 01:48:34,160 proton layer. OK. 2291 01:48:34,360 --> 01:48:36,320 All right. Yeah, that stuff's beyond me 2292 01:48:36,440 --> 01:48:38,840 when you guys start talking about protons and neutral it. 2293 01:48:38,840 --> 01:48:41,280 Literally takes like no set up. If you use like Lutris or Steam 2294 01:48:41,280 --> 01:48:43,960 for it, it's great. Yeah, yeah, it's. 2295 01:48:44,000 --> 01:48:45,880 Like not only that, well, Steam will manage it under the hood, 2296 01:48:45,880 --> 01:48:48,640 like all these different versions of Proton and know what 2297 01:48:48,640 --> 01:48:51,760 the best one is for that game. Like, they're pretty great about 2298 01:48:51,760 --> 01:48:54,000 it. Valve is really trying to make 2299 01:48:54,000 --> 01:48:56,680 sure you could play games on a Linux system. 2300 01:48:56,840 --> 01:49:01,040 I could tell you on Android, Android, I'm using an app called 2301 01:49:01,040 --> 01:49:05,400 Game Hub Lite and I'm actually able to log in through Steam and 2302 01:49:05,400 --> 01:49:09,080 it will download the game from Steam, it'll sync your cloud 2303 01:49:09,080 --> 01:49:13,680 saves and it will pick the proton layer that will work best 2304 01:49:13,720 --> 01:49:15,960 on ARM. That's really cool to being able 2305 01:49:15,960 --> 01:49:17,560 to cloud save it between systems. 2306 01:49:17,640 --> 01:49:22,640 That's part of why I'm, like, loving playing these PC games on 2307 01:49:22,640 --> 01:49:24,960 these Android handhelds. Hell yeah. 2308 01:49:25,720 --> 01:49:28,680 OK, I'm going to preface each one of the things I want to talk 2309 01:49:28,680 --> 01:49:32,360 about beforehand, and I'm going to give you both the opportunity 2310 01:49:32,360 --> 01:49:34,200 to take your headphones off if you don't want to hear what I'm 2311 01:49:34,200 --> 01:49:35,880 going to say, and you can all throw a thumbs up. 2312 01:49:36,080 --> 01:49:40,280 OK, Is, is this a point where are are we going ahead of, of 2313 01:49:40,360 --> 01:49:42,160 where we are? Because I'm, I'm learning some 2314 01:49:42,160 --> 01:49:45,200 stuff right now that's right at the beginning of act three about 2315 01:49:45,200 --> 01:49:47,000 two of the characters. Which which? 2316 01:49:49,600 --> 01:49:51,160 Which characters? The two. 2317 01:49:51,320 --> 01:49:56,760 The 222 characters are telling two other characters stuff that 2318 01:49:56,760 --> 01:49:58,400 they didn't know before. Yes. 2319 01:49:58,680 --> 01:50:00,080 OK. So yeah, Will, you were right 2320 01:50:00,080 --> 01:50:01,520 behind that then. OK. 2321 01:50:02,800 --> 01:50:08,280 OK, Will, you're right about to see that, so I'll skip that. 2322 01:50:08,400 --> 01:50:10,440 But there is a big revelation that you're about to hit that 2323 01:50:10,440 --> 01:50:12,400 Mikhailova is watching right now live on the episode. 2324 01:50:12,720 --> 01:50:16,120 Really. Alrighty, 'cause. 2325 01:50:16,520 --> 01:50:20,200 I swear to God I just, I would thought, I mean, I finished a 2326 01:50:20,200 --> 01:50:23,200 mission, was back in open play. I thought, Oh well. 2327 01:50:23,400 --> 01:50:25,320 Did you did you see a big reveal? 2328 01:50:25,400 --> 01:50:27,440 Well, no, you'll know. You'll know. 2329 01:50:27,520 --> 01:50:30,440 So there's a big reveal about two of the characters and how 2330 01:50:30,440 --> 01:50:33,720 they interplay with everything that's been happening forever 2331 01:50:33,720 --> 01:50:36,040 base. OK, no, the last reveal I got 2332 01:50:36,040 --> 01:50:38,160 was basically a little bit about the nature of the curse. 2333 01:50:38,320 --> 01:50:41,480 OK, not yet. So the first thing is about 2334 01:50:41,720 --> 01:50:43,600 Killian. OK, so. 2335 01:50:43,800 --> 01:50:45,440 Is do I? Do I know this? 2336 01:50:45,640 --> 01:50:47,600 No. OK, OK, You take your headphones 2337 01:50:47,640 --> 01:50:49,480 off. OK, so and Willie, you're also 2338 01:50:49,480 --> 01:50:51,000 welcome to do this too. If it starts getting into 2339 01:50:51,000 --> 01:50:52,360 something you don't want to know, just top them off. 2340 01:50:52,360 --> 01:50:53,440 I'll let you. Know so. 2341 01:50:53,720 --> 01:50:57,240 Killian later in the game basically reveals that the 2342 01:50:57,240 --> 01:50:59,160 reason that he did what he did is because he wanted to make the 2343 01:50:59,160 --> 01:51:01,960 world a better place for him and his sister, yadda yadda yadda. 2344 01:51:03,000 --> 01:51:05,120 But then they end up having this conversation between him and and 2345 01:51:05,120 --> 01:51:08,960 Glenn where Glenn's like, you're going to kill everyone to save 2346 01:51:08,960 --> 01:51:10,440 the planet. Like, do you really think your 2347 01:51:10,440 --> 01:51:11,960 sister's going to like, look at you? 2348 01:51:11,960 --> 01:51:14,000 Well for that? Like, no, dude. 2349 01:51:14,680 --> 01:51:17,800 And Killian says that like he'll earn his sister's respect. 2350 01:51:18,240 --> 01:51:20,160 I, I heard this. I, I, I, I did hear this 2351 01:51:20,160 --> 01:51:23,280 conversation in the game. Maybe in another lifetime. 2352 01:51:23,400 --> 01:51:30,520 Well, Killian ends up at the end, he he comes back around and 2353 01:51:30,520 --> 01:51:33,920 ends up helping you out. And it, it's it's a magical 2354 01:51:33,920 --> 01:51:37,560 moment of like where he realizes that he wants his sister to 2355 01:51:37,560 --> 01:51:40,160 respect him. He wants to do best by her. 2356 01:51:40,280 --> 01:51:43,280 And that basically what he's been going through is not what 2357 01:51:43,280 --> 01:51:45,200 should be happening. So he ends up playing a really 2358 01:51:45,200 --> 01:51:49,360 big deal in the end and looping back around to me being like OK, 2359 01:51:49,360 --> 01:51:51,520 so maybe not fuck him so much, which is really nice. 2360 01:51:52,120 --> 01:51:53,960 OK, thumbs up for the boys, alright? 2361 01:51:54,160 --> 01:51:57,560 Alright, now if you're if you're talking about Killian, I have a 2362 01:51:57,560 --> 01:52:04,560 prediction based on Final based on Final Fantasy experience and 2363 01:52:04,560 --> 01:52:08,760 who I think he's connected to in the Final Fantasy universe. 2364 01:52:09,520 --> 01:52:12,960 And so anybody else who's listening to this can go ahead 2365 01:52:12,960 --> 01:52:15,360 and laugh at me if I got it right or wrong. 2366 01:52:16,080 --> 01:52:19,320 I think we're going to see him rejoin the party at some point 2367 01:52:19,320 --> 01:52:21,360 in the future. I had also been considering that 2368 01:52:21,360 --> 01:52:23,880 as possible, yeah. Because so far he doesn't seem 2369 01:52:23,880 --> 01:52:25,800 irredeemable, just on a different path, you know? 2370 01:52:26,800 --> 01:52:31,160 But also if Killian is connected to Kane. 2371 01:52:31,640 --> 01:52:34,120 Right. That happens at Fun Vasi 4 so. 2372 01:52:34,120 --> 01:52:34,920 Like. Seven times. 2373 01:52:34,920 --> 01:52:37,200 That's the basis. That's the basis for my 2374 01:52:37,200 --> 01:52:39,640 prediction. All right, so the next thing I 2375 01:52:39,640 --> 01:52:41,520 want to talk about has to do with Victor. 2376 01:52:41,520 --> 01:52:42,640 Yeah, I. Definitely don't want to know 2377 01:52:42,640 --> 01:52:43,800 anything more about Victor actually. 2378 01:52:44,280 --> 01:52:45,360 OK. So. 2379 01:52:45,920 --> 01:52:48,280 I feel like. I, I don't mind having, I don't 2380 01:52:48,280 --> 01:52:50,600 mind having Victor's stuff spoiled for me because I already 2381 01:52:50,600 --> 01:52:52,600 had my suspicions about him. So go ahead. 2382 01:52:52,960 --> 01:52:58,240 So Victor basically has been around forever, right? 2383 01:52:58,440 --> 01:53:00,240 Right. And that, that that's revealed 2384 01:53:00,240 --> 01:53:01,920 pretty early on. You will. 2385 01:53:01,920 --> 01:53:05,720 OK, so and you're learning about the past of Lena right now, 2386 01:53:05,720 --> 01:53:06,760 right? Yes. 2387 01:53:06,960 --> 01:53:10,000 OK, so you'll learn more about Glenn later. 2388 01:53:10,640 --> 01:53:13,960 There's a big revelation where Glenn thinks he's one person and 2389 01:53:13,960 --> 01:53:16,280 Lena's like, no, I would know if you were him, yadda yadda yadda. 2390 01:53:16,280 --> 01:53:19,720 And it like breaks Glenn's mind. That's where Magnolia comes back 2391 01:53:19,720 --> 01:53:21,680 in and you start dealing with her more, right? 2392 01:53:22,040 --> 01:53:24,520 So. Also he he learns too much. 2393 01:53:24,720 --> 01:53:27,400 Yes, he learns too much at once. She she's just like, no, you're 2394 01:53:27,400 --> 01:53:30,320 not who you think you are. You're and then he realizes that 2395 01:53:30,440 --> 01:53:32,880 and this is kind of a spoiler for you, for Glenn, but it's 2396 01:53:32,880 --> 01:53:34,200 it's it won't ruin the whole thing for you. 2397 01:53:34,480 --> 01:53:37,200 He is in the past, the douchebag guy. 2398 01:53:37,320 --> 01:53:41,920 He's not the one who loves Lena. He's the drunk dude. 2399 01:53:42,080 --> 01:53:47,240 So he learns about this and at the end of his life he basically 2400 01:53:47,240 --> 01:53:50,200 says that he's going to try to find her in another life and 2401 01:53:50,200 --> 01:53:52,000 redeem himself, and then he lives. 2402 01:53:52,040 --> 01:53:55,040 Through. Life, afterlife, afterlife. 2403 01:53:55,120 --> 01:54:01,680 He becomes a really big fantasy or not fantasy well known mage 2404 01:54:01,840 --> 01:54:05,320 knowledgeable who has a library, maybe like a library that you 2405 01:54:05,320 --> 01:54:07,400 went and looked through. Yeah, yeah, yeah. 2406 01:54:07,520 --> 01:54:09,520 Yeah, I did. I did look through that. 2407 01:54:09,800 --> 01:54:11,520 Who was his apprentice? Victor. 2408 01:54:11,640 --> 01:54:17,080 Victor and Victor has spent his years finding Glenn every time 2409 01:54:17,080 --> 01:54:20,280 he reincarnates. Wow, he's seen several different 2410 01:54:20,280 --> 01:54:23,760 versions of Glenn. Yeah, trying to help him see out 2411 01:54:23,760 --> 01:54:26,160 because that was his last request of Glenn when he was the 2412 01:54:26,160 --> 01:54:28,640 sorcerer. But he told him what about the 2413 01:54:28,840 --> 01:54:31,840 his past life and was like, I need to redeem this and I need 2414 01:54:31,840 --> 01:54:33,720 you to help me. You're an heir, you'll live long 2415 01:54:33,720 --> 01:54:35,280 enough. Seek me out. 2416 01:54:35,480 --> 01:54:41,120 He gives him two amulets that are life links so they'll glow. 2417 01:54:41,240 --> 01:54:45,480 That I just had explained to me each yeah, he's wearing 2 2418 01:54:45,760 --> 01:54:49,720 Victor's, wearing 2 amulets, and each one is tied to Glenn and 2419 01:54:49,720 --> 01:54:52,240 one is tied to Lead. So Glenn's kept glowing. 2420 01:54:52,400 --> 01:54:55,360 Lenz has Lena's never glown until now. 2421 01:54:55,400 --> 01:54:57,520 So that's when he's like, oh shit, it's happened. 2422 01:54:57,600 --> 01:55:00,680 Yeah, that's. Cute and my mind was fucking 2423 01:55:00,680 --> 01:55:01,680 blown. Megan. 2424 01:55:03,120 --> 01:55:06,440 Quick side question, it's Kylian gay. 2425 01:55:06,560 --> 01:55:07,840 I don't believe so. At least. 2426 01:55:07,840 --> 01:55:10,960 Not from what I remember. Why did he just crawl out of bed 2427 01:55:11,480 --> 01:55:14,040 next to the old guy? Oh yeah, that's never really. 2428 01:55:14,200 --> 01:55:16,360 They don't really explain that. I think he's kind of just doing 2429 01:55:16,360 --> 01:55:17,960 what he's got to do. Very odd. 2430 01:55:18,200 --> 01:55:20,680 He's doing what he's he's, he's yeah, go ahead. 2431 01:55:20,960 --> 01:55:22,960 He's doing, yeah, he's doing what he's got to do. 2432 01:55:22,960 --> 01:55:26,480 But like, interesting that that includes being in a relationship 2433 01:55:26,480 --> 01:55:29,120 with an old man with an old man. Yeah, very interesting. 2434 01:55:29,920 --> 01:55:34,440 So the other big revelation is literally the very end of the 2435 01:55:34,440 --> 01:55:37,320 game. It has to do with Glenn. 2436 01:55:37,440 --> 01:55:39,360 Lena. Willie's already got his 2437 01:55:39,360 --> 01:55:41,760 headphones off and Killian. All right, so both of them took 2438 01:55:41,760 --> 01:55:43,160 their headphones off. So it's just me and you guys, 2439 01:55:43,160 --> 01:55:45,680 listeners, it's just us. This was the one of the most 2440 01:55:45,680 --> 01:55:48,480 beautiful endings I have ever seen in a, in a JRBG. 2441 01:55:49,360 --> 01:55:52,120 You beat the final boss, you save the world. 2442 01:55:52,800 --> 01:55:56,400 Glenn gets sucked away and he's in this white void with just him 2443 01:55:56,800 --> 01:55:59,520 and Killian and they have this conversation and it fades out 2444 01:56:00,000 --> 01:56:03,040 and it comes back to the party. And at this point, Killian's got 2445 01:56:03,040 --> 01:56:06,920 the powers that he's gotten from the the God like people that 2446 01:56:07,040 --> 01:56:08,960 throughout the story, there are these people who end up getting 2447 01:56:08,960 --> 01:56:11,720 infused with this power of the, I'm going to call it a 2448 01:56:11,720 --> 01:56:15,000 magistite, but it was the big glowing grim war. 2449 01:56:15,160 --> 01:56:19,280 And Killian has some of those powers now because he was 2450 01:56:19,280 --> 01:56:23,840 infused with he tried to take the power from Gwen during the 2451 01:56:23,840 --> 01:56:25,280 final boss fight. It's this big thing. 2452 01:56:25,440 --> 01:56:28,320 So anyways, you're at this party, everyone's looking as 2453 01:56:28,320 --> 01:56:31,240 it's there and like, you know, the, the the game is basically 2454 01:56:31,240 --> 01:56:33,160 wrapping up and they're like, where's Glenn? 2455 01:56:33,280 --> 01:56:36,920 So Lena goes up to the roof to look for Glenn. 2456 01:56:36,920 --> 01:56:39,680 So you get up there and Glenn's there and she starts talking to 2457 01:56:39,680 --> 01:56:44,360 him and a red bird lands and they look at it and she says, 2458 01:56:44,520 --> 01:56:46,280 yeah, he's been visiting here often. 2459 01:56:46,440 --> 01:56:49,080 I named him Glenn. And Glenn says, oh, that's a 2460 01:56:49,080 --> 01:56:50,960 good name. How long have you known it? 2461 01:56:51,440 --> 01:56:54,400 It was me or how did you know? How did you know it was me? 2462 01:56:54,520 --> 01:56:57,680 And Lynn is like, I could tell that Glenn wasn't Timothy. 2463 01:56:57,760 --> 01:56:59,040 You know, I knew he was someone else. 2464 01:56:59,040 --> 01:57:00,960 So you think I couldn't tell that you weren't him? 2465 01:57:01,120 --> 01:57:03,440 And that's when you realize that's not Glenn. 2466 01:57:03,640 --> 01:57:05,600 That's Killian pretending to be Glenn. 2467 01:57:05,760 --> 01:57:08,280 And he said, I didn't want it to be hard on you guys. 2468 01:57:08,280 --> 01:57:13,240 So I took this appearance and it flashes back to the big white 2469 01:57:13,400 --> 01:57:16,640 room with the conversation between Glenn and Killian. 2470 01:57:16,720 --> 01:57:21,600 And they are talking and basically Glenn says you have a 2471 01:57:21,600 --> 01:57:24,600 little sister to live for. You have a lot more things to 2472 01:57:24,600 --> 01:57:26,680 do. I've served my purpose. 2473 01:57:26,920 --> 01:57:28,840 I made-up what I wanted to do to Lynn. 2474 01:57:29,000 --> 01:57:31,920 You know why I became a sky armor person, a flyer? 2475 01:57:32,160 --> 01:57:35,040 Because when I was young and I was in that city with the high 2476 01:57:35,040 --> 01:57:37,880 walls, I had a bird. And when we got attacked, I let 2477 01:57:37,880 --> 01:57:39,520 the bird out so he would go to safety. 2478 01:57:39,520 --> 01:57:43,280 And he flew over the walls. And I said one day, one day I 2479 01:57:43,280 --> 01:57:46,640 will fly over those walls as well and I will fly in the air. 2480 01:57:46,640 --> 01:57:51,520 I want to be free like that bird and oh, excuse me, it makes me 2481 01:57:51,520 --> 01:57:53,360 slightly emotional. It's just so, so cool. 2482 01:57:53,360 --> 01:57:56,400 And he said, and I'm just hoping that because of my good deeds 2483 01:57:56,600 --> 01:57:58,920 that my soul will go back into the aether. 2484 01:57:58,920 --> 01:58:02,520 And when I'm reborn, I will be a bird and I can fly. 2485 01:58:02,640 --> 01:58:05,320 But Killian, you are the one that will come out of this and 2486 01:58:05,320 --> 01:58:07,560 you will live on. You will serve your purpose. 2487 01:58:07,560 --> 01:58:10,200 You will live for your sister. And it's this big emotional 2488 01:58:10,200 --> 01:58:13,960 thing, man. And it pops back and Lena and 2489 01:58:14,400 --> 01:58:18,240 Killian are talking and he gets the bird and he puts the bird in 2490 01:58:18,240 --> 01:58:21,240 a cage and takes it with him and he leaves as Glenn. 2491 01:58:21,240 --> 01:58:23,520 But then when he gets onto a boat and he's away from 2492 01:58:23,520 --> 01:58:25,520 everybody, he's like, OK, now I can let this up. 2493 01:58:25,520 --> 01:58:27,440 And he goes back and he's it's Killian again. 2494 01:58:27,920 --> 01:58:30,280 And this little kid comes up and like tries to steal his wallet 2495 01:58:30,280 --> 01:58:31,440 or something. I don't really remember that 2496 01:58:31,440 --> 01:58:33,120 part. But he ends up saving the kid 2497 01:58:33,120 --> 01:58:36,360 who wasn't supposed to be on the boat and then saying they were 2498 01:58:36,360 --> 01:58:38,960 looking at the bird. And since Killian now had this 2499 01:58:39,200 --> 01:58:42,120 kid with him and he wasn't lonely anymore, he said, I guess 2500 01:58:42,120 --> 01:58:46,040 I can let the bird fly. So he lets Glenn out and Glenn 2501 01:58:46,040 --> 01:58:50,520 takes off and flies away. And the credits scene starts 2502 01:58:50,520 --> 01:58:53,520 rolling as you get this scrolling footage over on the 2503 01:58:53,520 --> 01:58:56,920 left of the flying bird. And it's just like Glenn's 2504 01:58:56,920 --> 01:58:59,080 getting his wish. After all of everything he's 2505 01:58:59,080 --> 01:59:01,960 been through, he finally gets to just fly free as a bird. 2506 01:59:02,080 --> 01:59:04,640 And it brought a fucking tear to my eye. 2507 01:59:04,640 --> 01:59:09,840 Like just, I was just like, it fucked me up. 2508 01:59:09,880 --> 01:59:17,520 So like with that being said, you know, I I wasn't like, but 2509 01:59:17,520 --> 01:59:20,400 the ending of this game, I had tears in my eyes and I was just 2510 01:59:20,400 --> 01:59:25,840 like, what a fucking story, man, and Logan is. 2511 01:59:25,840 --> 01:59:29,600 Listening right now and he is like I freaking told you I was 2512 01:59:29,600 --> 01:59:32,840 going. To say I I actually like, I want 2513 01:59:32,840 --> 01:59:35,920 to give Logan a thank you because I would not have played 2514 01:59:35,920 --> 01:59:40,000 this game had he not done that. And this may be in my top ten 2515 01:59:40,160 --> 01:59:43,360 now like. Top 10 RPGs Top ten games of the 2516 01:59:43,360 --> 01:59:46,240 year. Tim games, damn top ten games. 2517 01:59:46,320 --> 01:59:50,400 This story is so good. I just I so Full disclosure, 2518 01:59:50,400 --> 01:59:52,680 after this episode, we got the steamy awards and then we're 2519 01:59:52,680 --> 01:59:54,880 rolling in the next year. So it means from now until the 2520 01:59:54,880 --> 01:59:56,280 steamy awards, we have free time. 2521 01:59:56,280 --> 01:59:59,360 I want you boys to just beat this game so we can talk about 2522 01:59:59,360 --> 02:00:01,360 the ending. I can't promise he will, but I 2523 02:00:01,360 --> 02:00:05,360 promise that I I was intending to like I stopped playing Rayman 2524 02:00:05,360 --> 02:00:08,160 even though I'm meant to do 100% on retro achievements for that 2525 02:00:08,360 --> 02:00:10,960 because I wanted to just play this game and I haven't done 2526 02:00:10,960 --> 02:00:14,120 much gaming that wasn't that. Aside from we didn't talk about 2527 02:00:14,120 --> 02:00:17,040 it any but we did play a little of Elden Ring Night Rain with 2528 02:00:17,040 --> 02:00:20,760 Nate, me and or me and Dalton. Let's let's save that for just 2529 02:00:20,760 --> 02:00:22,080 this moment. Let's finish talking about this. 2530 02:00:22,080 --> 02:00:23,520 I think we can do that. At the end we can do that for 2531 02:00:23,520 --> 02:00:25,880 another episode, man. Yeah. 2532 02:00:25,880 --> 02:00:27,360 But yeah, we did play some night rain. 2533 02:00:28,000 --> 02:00:31,160 Do you guys have any any final thoughts because I pretty much 2534 02:00:31,160 --> 02:00:34,200 just gave my opinion on the ending and stuff like oh God I 2535 02:00:34,200 --> 02:00:35,520 can't wait till y'all see it I really. 2536 02:00:35,520 --> 02:00:38,240 This game has a couple of points where it's already gone and 2537 02:00:38,240 --> 02:00:41,520 grabbed me way more than it already had before, and the only 2538 02:00:41,520 --> 02:00:43,960 reason I haven't completed it was because I basically took the 2539 02:00:43,960 --> 02:00:46,920 last 36 hours as a sick day or else I probably would have 2540 02:00:46,920 --> 02:00:48,240 played it non-stop through that time. 2541 02:00:48,520 --> 02:00:52,520 Yeah, it you, you both are going to hit at least four more times 2542 02:00:52,520 --> 02:00:54,920 where you're like, where the fuck is this going to go from 2543 02:00:54,920 --> 02:00:56,400 here? And then it does go somewhere 2544 02:00:56,400 --> 02:01:01,040 and you're like, holy shit. Yeah, provisionally I'm already 2545 02:01:01,040 --> 02:01:04,680 thinking it's going to do that. So like I mean I know my score 2546 02:01:04,680 --> 02:01:08,040 doesn't mean much since I'm only at the almost midpoint of the 2547 02:01:08,040 --> 02:01:11,280 game and that's storyline wise, not content. 2548 02:01:11,280 --> 02:01:13,280 I mean, content wise, I'm probably going to put another 40 2549 02:01:13,280 --> 02:01:16,640 hours in or so after the 1st 17 or 18 I've done. 2550 02:01:17,480 --> 02:01:19,360 I'm we'll go ahead and give it a nine plus. 2551 02:01:19,400 --> 02:01:21,040 Just I'm just going to say that right here. 2552 02:01:21,040 --> 02:01:26,720 So that that way it provisional to revise later, but I can't 2553 02:01:26,720 --> 02:01:29,160 imagine it dropping. All right, Nick, love what you 2554 02:01:29,160 --> 02:01:31,440 mean. I it's, it's a straight up 10 2555 02:01:31,440 --> 02:01:32,440 out of 10. Awesome. 2556 02:01:32,440 --> 02:01:36,560 Like, I know I haven't beat it yet, but no, I I'm in, I'm 2557 02:01:36,560 --> 02:01:39,520 invested. This game will will get beaten. 2558 02:01:39,520 --> 02:01:44,200 And I'm like, the fact that I am, like playing it right now as 2559 02:01:44,200 --> 02:01:47,240 we're recording, I think is a testament to how much I want to 2560 02:01:47,240 --> 02:01:49,000 finish this game and how much I'm enjoying it. 2561 02:01:49,000 --> 02:01:50,760 So yeah, 10 out of 10. Perfect score. 2562 02:01:51,080 --> 02:01:53,200 The only reason I'm not playing it right now too is because I 2563 02:01:53,200 --> 02:01:55,840 didn't want to risk the NVIDIA glitch I've had on my computer 2564 02:01:55,840 --> 02:01:58,480 and hang thing before I export my audacity. 2565 02:01:58,680 --> 02:02:01,680 I probably wouldn't have been. I probably wouldn't have been 2566 02:02:01,720 --> 02:02:05,400 playing it had I not been fighting with the capture card. 2567 02:02:05,960 --> 02:02:08,720 Now that I got the capture card working, I'm like so impressed I 2568 02:02:08,720 --> 02:02:11,000 got the capture card working that I'm just playing the game. 2569 02:02:11,200 --> 02:02:13,400 Yeah, Gigi on that, by the way. You look so frustrated at the 2570 02:02:13,400 --> 02:02:16,240 start of the show. I was very frustrated. 2571 02:02:16,640 --> 02:02:18,200 I was. Editing vocal covers. 2572 02:02:18,200 --> 02:02:20,800 So like, I would be listening to myself screaming or singing or 2573 02:02:20,800 --> 02:02:21,800 something, and then I would pause it. 2574 02:02:21,800 --> 02:02:24,360 Not just here, God damn it. It fucking thing. 2575 02:02:24,360 --> 02:02:25,520 Yeah, fuck. What? 2576 02:02:25,520 --> 02:02:26,880 What? Where did that fucking work? 2577 02:02:29,200 --> 02:02:31,360 That's that's pretty much exactly what it was. 2578 02:02:31,560 --> 02:02:34,320 What the fuck is that? Why is that? 2579 02:02:34,520 --> 02:02:40,480 I gotta unplug this shit. Oh, it's before you give your 2580 02:02:40,480 --> 02:02:43,360 rating. It's two hours and 28 minutes 2581 02:02:43,360 --> 02:02:45,920 into the podcast. Fuck you, Jeff. 2582 02:02:45,920 --> 02:02:49,080 What South?

This is in rare air. 2586 02:03:02,280 --> 02:03:05,120 This game. I'm giving it a solid 10 out of 2587 02:03:05,120 --> 02:03:09,440 10, but I'm actually like tempted to give it an 11 like 2588 02:03:09,760 --> 02:03:12,720 wow, I like this so much more than I thought I was going when 2589 02:03:12,720 --> 02:03:15,760 I first started this game.

For this game to have so much 2593 02:03:25,280 --> 02:03:27,600 humor in it. This game takes itself very 2594 02:03:27,600 --> 02:03:31,400 seriously when it comes to telling a good story and fuck 2595 02:03:31,520 --> 02:03:34,520 like I want to buy the DLC for this and play that. 2596 02:03:34,520 --> 02:03:36,720 I didn't know it existed until Logan told me it existed. 2597 02:03:37,680 --> 02:03:41,080 I I'm in if this dude comes out with another game, even if it's 2598 02:03:41,080 --> 02:03:44,160 not Chained Echoes 2, if it's just something else, he's got my 2599 02:03:44,160 --> 02:03:46,440 money already.

This fucker made this game and 2601 02:03:48,120 --> 02:03:50,400 then hired somebody to do the music, and I think that's about 2602 02:03:50,400 --> 02:03:51,760 it.

I mean I can already tell this. 2633 02:05:06,000 --> 02:05:09,040 I I think I when Willie, when Willie beats it, he will. 2634 02:05:09,280 --> 02:05:11,640 I I can already tell this game is special and it's not going to 2635 02:05:11,640 --> 02:05:13,520 take any peer pressure and for me to change it. 2636 02:05:13,520 --> 02:05:16,440 It's just going to be when I've seen enough to know why I'm 2637 02:05:16,440 --> 02:05:19,320 giving it the ten. Yeah, but I I'm not saying I 2638 02:05:19,320 --> 02:05:23,800 doubt it's going to happen. So that leaves us with our next 2639 02:05:23,800 --> 02:05:26,640 episode. Yay will be coming out on 2640 02:05:26,640 --> 02:05:28,880 Christmas. Oh, on Christmas Day, huh? 2641 02:05:29,400 --> 02:05:30,600 That the plan. Yeah. 2642 02:05:30,600 --> 02:05:32,960 That's, that's, I think we started that two years ago. 2643 02:05:32,960 --> 02:05:34,480 OK. So I'm going to try to keep that 2644 02:05:34,480 --> 02:05:35,600 going. I always think of it as the New 2645 02:05:35,600 --> 02:05:37,240 Year's episode, but it definitely makes sense as a 2646 02:05:37,240 --> 02:05:40,840 Christmas present as well. Yeah, just drop it on Christmas 2647 02:05:40,840 --> 02:05:42,760 and then you can listen to it between Christmas and New Year's 2648 02:05:42,760 --> 02:05:44,920 whenever you want to do.
