Hey everybody, welcome back to 5 00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:44,240 another episode of the Steam Machine Podcast. 6 00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:46,840 My name is Dalton and joining me, as always, is 1/2 of The 7 00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:49,760 Circle Abroad.

Makes a sleepy boy today. 12 00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:11,480 Been a long week for you too, huh? 13 00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:14,800 Very long fucking week, but I'm here. 14 00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:18,080 Well, and this man's got to get his Hong Kong before he can get 15 00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:19,600 his shoe on, you know what I'm saying? 16 00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:20,880 No. I I don't. 17 00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:22,800 Can you explain it? Oh, it's like when you do that 18 00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:26,760 little fun sound, it's like honk. 19 00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:28,920 I thought it was not going to lie. 20 00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:31,560 I thought you said Hong Kong. That's what I thought too. 21 00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:33,280 Like like. I thought you were going Hong 22 00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:34,440 Kong. Phooey I. 23 00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:37,040 I he put that phooey up in the Hong Kong. 24 00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:38,880 I thought you were trying to tell me I was hung like Hong 25 00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:41,400 Kong. Yeah, you are like literally 26 00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:45,440 like so hum that it is questionable as to whether you 27 00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:48,080 belong to China or not. Let me ask you a question, 28 00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:51,120 Willie. International little disputes 29 00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:54,920 about this man's Wangus. If if a Chinese man has a giant 30 00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:57,680 penis, does that mean it's the people's penis? 31 00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:03,800 If a Chinese man has a giant penis and no one has ever seen 32 00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:06,000 it, does that mean it belongs to the Grand Emperor? 33 00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:09,960 Well, because. I feel like we're just, we're 34 00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:12,440 discovering a lot of complications about the 35 00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:14,960 governance of that country. And yet, you know what? 36 00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:18,200 I feel like the penis will be distributed according to 37 00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:20,200 people's needs. Well, that that that's the 38 00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:21,560 thing. Like if I live in China and I 39 00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:24,120 really need this guy's penis, can I just take it? 40 00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:28,160 I'm I mean, you can borrow it, you can't have it. 41 00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:30,200 I mean, eventually it's got to go back to the. 42 00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:32,160 Eventually it's got to go back to the people. 43 00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:34,520 Yes, I would imagine that you would put your name on a list 44 00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:37,040 and when it was your time to get the penis, they would call you 45 00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:38,640 and then you could go receive the penis. 46 00:02:38,640 --> 00:02:41,520 It could. Make it doesn't need to be on 47 00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:44,840 any more lists. Yeah, that's fair. 48 00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:49,320 That's very fair. That is very, very fair. 49 00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:53,080 We're all now because of this conversation on the Do not allow 50 00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:56,360 in the country for China list, we might be able to get in the 51 00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:58,280 home. I like you, China, dude. 52 00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:00,560 I like Joel. I'm so sorry. 53 00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:03,400 I need to watch what I say. I might get cut off by Chinese 54 00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:05,400 companies. They might stop saying like 55 00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:06,160 China. They might. 56 00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:09,800 Man, I'm sending me handhelds. To say to say nice things. 57 00:03:09,920 --> 00:03:12,560 That is a beautiful country landscape wise. 58 00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:15,680 Like I have seen some like land shots of China that are 59 00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:18,480 absolutely gorgeous. Dude, food from Sichuan is 60 00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:20,600 amazing. Like incredible shit. 61 00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:22,080 Yeah, especially that sauce, right? 62 00:03:22,640 --> 00:03:25,440 Oh no, we're not. We're not. 63 00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:31,480 Before we started this podcast, we discussed Rick and Mortis 64 00:03:31,920 --> 00:03:34,400 and. Rickalis and Mortis. 65 00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:39,320 Rickalis and Mortis. I like that episode. 66 00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:42,160 And by the way, if you didn't appreciate that episode, you are 67 00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:44,080 UN American. Apparently some people might 68 00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:46,400 think, but not me. You're American as hell, Willie. 69 00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:49,280 Thank you. OK, let's start with Will. 70 00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:50,560 Will, how you doing man? What you been up to, Aw? 71 00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:53,560 Man, I've been up to so many things. 72 00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:57,920 Actually, this week I beat a couple video games, so that's 73 00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:00,280 kind of neat. Probably the most interesting 74 00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:03,800 one is I finally went back and played Monster Rancher 2, which 75 00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:07,120 had just been like kind of eating in my brain since I was a 76 00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:09,120 child. We didn't do it for the show, 77 00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:13,000 but I finally got back in there and I beat Monster Rancher too, 78 00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:17,160 and I was very happy with that because it's a really delightful 79 00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:20,440 game once you kind of understand the mechanics of it. 80 00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:22,560 Oh yeah, dude, Monster Rancher's a great time. 81 00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:26,840 And like, I like I had fun like naming my monsters too, because 82 00:04:26,840 --> 00:04:30,920 I gave them like little goofy names based on like the disc 83 00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:35,640 that they wish they came off of. Like, you know, I put one, made 84 00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:39,760 one off of Hotel California by the Eagles and I called her 85 00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:42,040 Calitas. But this is my favorite 1 and I 86 00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:45,760 think you'll get this one. I made a monster named Maurice 87 00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:48,720 off of Persona 5 Strikers. OK. 88 00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:50,360 Can you see where the logic came from? 89 00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:52,000 No, but that's that's because I'm. 90 00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:54,760 Stubby thinky. I'm gonna guess it had something 91 00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:59,160 to do with Morgana. No, Maurice. 92 00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:01,920 Some people call me Maurice. Some people call me the Joker of 93 00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:03,960 love. Joker. 94 00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:07,960 Gangster of Love, I got you. Gangster of love, but I'm a 95 00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:08,800 joker. I'm a smoker. 96 00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:10,720 I'm gonna be like, yeah. Night too. 97 00:05:10,840 --> 00:05:11,800 OK, I get that. I get that. 98 00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:15,160 I just have a ton of fun with that game. 99 00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:18,600 I ended up playing it and using monster types that I'd never 100 00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:22,080 used before, and that was really cool because even when we did it 101 00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:24,160 for the show, like one of the things I wanted to do was 102 00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:26,680 explore things I'd never done as a kid. 103 00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:31,400 And so just being able to use like a Durahan and a Phoenix and 104 00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:33,440 all of those made it really fun for me. 105 00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:36,400 Now I got a question, when you when you had the Kolitas, did 106 00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:37,920 you have trouble finding the Kolitas? 107 00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:40,400 Because I hear that a lot of men have a lot of trouble finding 108 00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:44,680 the Kolitas. No, not me. 109 00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:46,760 The warm smell really gathered me there. 110 00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:50,520 This conversation really stinks. Get it? 111 00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:52,240 Because. Smell like a smell like a 112 00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:55,640 summer's eve to me. Oh damn. 113 00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:59,840 OK, okay, that one was pretty. Good me a second, but well 114 00:05:59,840 --> 00:06:03,600 played. Let's see, looking through my 115 00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:05,960 notes some more. Other than that, I've been 116 00:06:06,280 --> 00:06:10,480 playing some games in Luanti. Finally installed mine test game 117 00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:15,880 which is the default Luanti game and playing mod pack for that 118 00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:18,280 called Tech Age. So it's just like, you know, 119 00:06:18,280 --> 00:06:21,640 you're trying to build together technologies and stuff. 120 00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:24,480 Unfortunately I didn't get far enough into it to have anything 121 00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:27,840 interesting to say about it. I'm just saying like next 122 00:06:27,840 --> 00:06:31,240 episode I will have something to say about Tech Age or else I 123 00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:33,520 won't. All right. 124 00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:36,120 I made a laugh and I coughed. Sorry, I did, Mike. 125 00:06:36,280 --> 00:06:38,880 I think that actually is everything I have in my notes. 126 00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:45,120 Yep. Well then my next question is 127 00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:47,760 who wants to vent first, me or me? 128 00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:51,400 Wait, wait, no, no, I do have one more thing actually. 129 00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:56,880 So I got back into rewatching some analog horror stuff and I 130 00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:59,720 actually watched one of the main shows which I'd never watched 131 00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:02,600 before, called the Mandela Catalog. 132 00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:06,520 I went I've seen Winda Goons video about the Mandela catalog, 133 00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:10,560 that one seems really cool. Yeah, actually the one thing too 134 00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:14,200 is like Volume 6 just dropped like a month ago too, so there's 135 00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:19,000 like new stuff to watch in it. What I was surprised by is like, 136 00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:22,520 I had kind of like an unfair impression of it from when I 137 00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:25,760 first heard about it. But like, there's a lot of like 138 00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:30,800 actual acting and you know, real analog shit going on in it. 139 00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:34,600 It's not just, you know what people say analog horror and 140 00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:38,680 they just do like video effects on a digital background or 141 00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:41,640 whatever. Like I actually really enjoyed 142 00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:49,080 the story of the Mandela Catalog so far and like it's, it's 143 00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:52,760 actually really interesting. The pacing is really good and 144 00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:58,360 you can basically knock out like the entire channel in like 4 or 145 00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:02,120 five hours at this point and kind of recommend it. 146 00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:04,640 It's still building to something. 147 00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:07,640 It doesn't have a, a resolution yet, but I really like the way 148 00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:14,360 that it uses like a combination of original materials and, you 149 00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:18,320 know, new acting and stuff. Like one of the main things that 150 00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:21,480 it's based on is there's like an old cartoon called the 151 00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:25,000 Beginner's Bible. It's like a Christian cartoon or 152 00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:27,640 whatever that they like overdubbed in lots of parts of 153 00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:29,600 it. But like, I kind of thought that 154 00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:32,360 would be the whole gimmick. And instead it ends up being 155 00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:35,440 really interesting in a way that's hard for me to explain, 156 00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:38,640 because I don't think I can say why it's interesting without 157 00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:40,960 giving some of it away. Yeah, there's a lot of them that 158 00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:43,280 are like that. I really the last one that I 159 00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:47,040 kind of dove into was the one. You might be able to help me out 160 00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:51,080 with the name. It's the one with the guy who 161 00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:57,320 just wants you to let him in. Actually the IT was the puppets 162 00:08:57,520 --> 00:08:59,920 and it was like the one. Chase St. 163 00:08:59,920 --> 00:09:01,680 John. No, Was it? 164 00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:04,280 I keep thinking welcome home. And I'm like, no, that's not 165 00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:06,360 right. No welcome home was a thing, but 166 00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:09,680 it was welcome Home was the one that was like the PBS type 167 00:09:09,680 --> 00:09:11,360 parody. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. 168 00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:14,000 And it had the all the different puppet characters and yeah, 169 00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:19,200 yeah, the one just talked like this, like he was, there was 170 00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:22,640 something real weird about the one, the main guy and OK, yeah, 171 00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:23,760 so we are thinking of that. So, yeah. 172 00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:28,440 Welcome home. Yeah, when I first saw Ben, I 173 00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:31,320 can't believe it. We literally were joking about 174 00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:33,600 that song earlier, before the recording anyway. 175 00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:39,880 But yeah, like welcome home. Like I need to catch up on that 176 00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:42,960 because when I first heard about it, it was just basically a web 177 00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:45,720 page. And then like there was a been a 178 00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:49,040 bunch more to happen since then. So I want to check up on that 179 00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:52,280 one. And shout out to this isn't 180 00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:55,640 technically the same thing but still a very creepy Internet 181 00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:57,280 show was a don't hug me I'm scared. 182 00:09:57,640 --> 00:09:59,960 Hell yeah.

First, Nah, you go ahead. 196 00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:39,040 I think you've had it rougher than me so. 197 00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:43,760 This has been Spirit Week, and what's Spirit Week is at work is 198 00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:50,120 a week to raise spirits as we approach the national holiday 199 00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:54,400 known as 4/20. So today I'm just going to 200 00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:56,760 specifically talk about today because there's just been a lot 201 00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:59,760 of shit going on at work. My buddy Tony quit like, and 202 00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:02,080 then now he's just gone. He didn't do his last week like 203 00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:03,360 he was going to like he's just gone. 204 00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:06,480 So I'm just like, all right. Did they tell him not to do his 205 00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:08,560 last week? I don't know. 206 00:11:09,560 --> 00:11:12,360 I don't know because because he worked one day of it and then 207 00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:14,520 said he stabbed himself in the foot and come couldn't come in 208 00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:15,960 the next day. So I don't know if Shauna just 209 00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:19,160 told him don't worry about it then or if he just said peace. 210 00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:22,280 I don't excuse me, I I don't know, I was left in the dark on 211 00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:24,760 that. But anyway, so we now have two 212 00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:26,520 managers. We normally have 4:00. 213 00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:29,680 So we are and then like we are just understaffed. 214 00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:37,200 So today go in and we are so, so so so so so so Lam like summer 215 00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:41,280 slam, just Brock Lesnar German suplex and everybody fucking 216 00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:44,840 busy as shit. So while we're busy as shit, we 217 00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:47,080 have all the registers going. There's somebody stuck like 218 00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:48,520 Hannah was just stuck in drive through. 219 00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:52,800 Everybody knows Hannah in the Discord and we're ringing people 220 00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:54,840 up. So finally it starts to calm 221 00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:57,600 down a little bit and I said, Jen, I'm going to go in the back 222 00:11:57,600 --> 00:11:59,360 and start working on the mountain of pickups that have 223 00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:00,640 come in. She's like, OK, thank you. 224 00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:02,120 So I go back there and I start working on them. 225 00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:05,760 I've knocked out like 5 or 6 of the like 30 that were there. 226 00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:11,000 And Jen comes back on the phone talking and I'm like, OK, so 227 00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:14,080 maybe someone's calling to check on their order because they're 228 00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:17,160 backed up. So she goes, yes, I see that 229 00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:20,720 this order is from 3:30 and it is now 5:00. 230 00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:22,880 Yes, yes, yes. It's it's fulfilled. 231 00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:24,120 I'm looking at it right now. It's fulfilled. 232 00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:25,280 Uh huh. Yes. 233 00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:26,920 OK. And then she goes going all 234 00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:28,760 this, all this stuff. And then I realize she's talking 235 00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:34,320 to Gabby, my area manager, who is on her side, refreshing our 236 00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:37,480 pickups and seeing that they're not done and calling the store 237 00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:39,920 to bitch that they're not done micromanaging. 238 00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:43,640 So when Jen hung up the phone and I'm going to tell y'all what 239 00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:46,160 I told Jen, I said, you know, maybe if that fat bitch supposed 240 00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:48,760 to come in here and waddle her Oompa loompa fucking ass in here 241 00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:51,080 and help instead of just calling us and bitching when we're 242 00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:52,720 fucking busy. Why doesn't she look at the 243 00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:55,640 cameras like I know she's got access to and I know she does 244 00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:59,120 and see that we're fucking slammed and that's why these 245 00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:01,480 aren't getting done. I was like, in my head, I'm 246 00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:04,880 like, dude, I dealt with this enough at Walgreens with old 247 00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:08,080 Bertha would watch the cameras sitting on her fat ass at home 248 00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:10,400 on the couch, and now I'm dealing with it here. 249 00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:13,240 I'm like, dude, they'll fucking pay me enough for this. 250 00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:17,040 That being said, there's there's a position open to go up in 251 00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:19,880 management and I did apply for it, so it'll at least be a 252 00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:23,200 little bit of more money. But here's the thing, after all 253 00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:26,640 this bullshit that's been going on recently, tomorrow at work, 254 00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:30,360 I'm going to be closing with a manager from another store and 255 00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:32,720 Gabby's supposed to be there. And tomorrow is what they call 256 00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:37,360 an activation day, which means we will have a spin the wheel 257 00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:40,120 get a deal thing going on. And it'll be like bags that 258 00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:46,160 people can get with getting patches put on them and, and, 259 00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:49,160 and things in that nature, which means we're going to be fucking 260 00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:52,640 busy and Gabby's going to be there. 261 00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:55,560 And I so my plan tomorrow, so tomorrow is dressed up like your 262 00:13:55,560 --> 00:13:57,920 favorite Marvel or DC hero or villain. 263 00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:00,640 But I don't really, you know, I don't I don't want to dress up 264 00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:01,640 like Spider. I can't wear a mask. 265 00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:03,240 So I don't want to dress up like Spider man or anything. 266 00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:07,160 That's something I'm like real life superheroes, wrestlers who 267 00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:09,200 can I dress up?

I'm Buddhausen. 280 00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:50,720 I am Dan Hausen's cousin who sells the weeds. 281 00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:52,320 How much weed would you like today? 282 00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:53,920 We don't have the curse to eat here. 283 00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:56,120 Would you like one weed? 2 weeds? 284 00:14:56,280 --> 00:15:01,000 How about a vape $6000 I'll get you 1/2 gram and I will sign it 285 00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:03,240 Buddhausen and it will be priceless. 286 00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:08,280 But Allison.

I then immediately have to try 328 00:17:19,079 --> 00:17:20,920 to make myself fall asleep because I have to wake up at 329 00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:25,359 6:00 to 6:30 in the morning to start prepping to cook ribs to 330 00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:28,760 take in for the potluck, which is going to happen on 4/20, our 331 00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:30,520 busiest day of the year.

You're you're going to try to 348 00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:21,440 watch one of them and pass out. More than likely because it'll 349 00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:24,360 be after I get done editing so. Yeah. 350 00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:28,800 But so other stuff we've seen in wrestling this last couple 351 00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:34,320 weeks, I mean, fucking CM Punk did an incredible, you finally 352 00:18:34,360 --> 00:18:37,440 like nouveau pipe bomb.

Finally got around to watching 363 00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:15,360 that match as well and God damn the fact that not only did he 364 00:19:15,360 --> 00:19:19,400 win, but he won the championship over who was probably the 365 00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:21,720 greatest heel at wrestling history of. 366 00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:24,720 MJF, Yeah. Like well let's, let's not mince 367 00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:27,280 words. MJF is the fucking nuts. 368 00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:28,840 Right. Oh yeah, he's he's great dude. 369 00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:31,640 MJF. Fantastic and the fact that the 370 00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:35,280 fact that Derby Allen got to get the West over him and just clean 371 00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:39,520 in the middle of the ring unquestionably just like landing 372 00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:42,120 his signature move from all four corners and. 373 00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:44,840 Going back to what we were we're talking about earlier about fan 374 00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:47,920 bases. I have seen wrestling Twitter on 375 00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:51,360 that side, shitting all over it. And I'm like, you've got to be 376 00:19:51,360 --> 00:19:52,760 kidding me. You got. 377 00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:54,800 No, that's fucking that's ridiculous, dude. 378 00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:58,240 Darby, Darby Ellen. I've wanted, I've wanted to see 379 00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:02,880 him win bigger and bigger. And even when he won just the 380 00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:06,920 the the TV title, I was like. That is huge. 381 00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:10,000 Like him feuding with Samoa Joe, I thought was amazing. 382 00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:12,720 Yeah. And seeing him as the guy, the 383 00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:16,640 world champion now to me is just, it's surreal. 384 00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:18,320 It's amazing. You know, I've got love for him 385 00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:19,560 because he's one of my festivals. 386 00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:21,280 Yeah. You know, it's the same feeling 387 00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:25,760 I get when I see WWE. Finally got Dan Hausen A blimp. 388 00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:27,360 Yeah. Oh hell yeah, he. 389 00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:29,560 Flew it over the stadium today. He. 390 00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:30,880 Curses things. That's so awesome. 391 00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:34,160 All of Lai believe as. Soon as he came up with the Dan 392 00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:36,400 Housing gimmick before, he was like, you know, because I knew 393 00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:37,640 him first as Donovan Dan Housing. 394 00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:38,960 I only talked about that before. Yeah. 395 00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:41,080 So when he came up with Dan Housing, he was in Ring of 396 00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:43,440 Honor, and one of the first things he started doing was 397 00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:45,400 demanding that Gabe Sapolsky give him a blimp. 398 00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:46,520 And then? He Wow. 399 00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:49,120 So he's been doing it that long? Yeah, and then he was in AEW 400 00:20:49,120 --> 00:20:50,680 telling Tony Khan he wanted a blimp. 401 00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:54,240 And now he finally came to WWE and said he wanted a blimp and 402 00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:56,040 they got him a blimp. That's why he tweeted out today. 403 00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:58,080 He's like, we got Dan housing the blimp. 404 00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:01,640 Yeah, he. Was so fucking congratulations 405 00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:03,160 blimp housing. Let's go. 406 00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:08,280 Dude that they knew exactly what they were doing by signing him 407 00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:10,640 on. Yeah, like, like dude, I like. 408 00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:13,960 He is wrestling. When AW got Dan Hausen for the 409 00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:17,640 first time, like he was such a huge indie star and he was 410 00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:20,720 making so many headlines, but they also didn't really know 411 00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:23,360 what they wanted to do with him. They just kind of wanted to 412 00:21:23,360 --> 00:21:26,320 like, we want to pay Dan Hausen. We want this guy. 413 00:21:26,360 --> 00:21:29,240 We want this guy. He's fucking a star, obviously, 414 00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:30,960 but they couldn't figure out what to do with him. 415 00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:34,160 And now WWE, which I would not have guessed would have been the 416 00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:37,040 ones to know what to do with him, have figured out exactly 417 00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:38,280 what the what the fuck to do with him. 418 00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:42,000 Just let him get out there and make some fucking some clips. 419 00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:45,840 You know, he's basically a content creator for WWE, but 420 00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:49,000 he's also wrestling. Yeah, and and I. 421 00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:51,520 Love his debut match. I love. 422 00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:53,160 Yeah, he's on. He's on a win streak now, 423 00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:53,640 apparently. I. 424 00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:57,440 Love that they're getting him into matches and they're 425 00:21:57,440 --> 00:22:00,160 figuring out ways to work the cursing in. 426 00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:04,000 Yeah, like the two matches that I saw they they made the 427 00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:08,200 pyrotechnics work certain. Way when it was him versus Kit 428 00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:11,720 Wilson and Kit got up on the fucking top rope and Dan Housen 429 00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:14,560 did the cursed fingers and the pyro went off behind Kit. 430 00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:16,560 I mean, obviously. And Dan Housen penned him. 431 00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:21,000 Obviously planned, but. Everything is. 432 00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:24,360 But what do you have? But it's it's a great fucking 433 00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:26,640 tastic. It's a great way to do it. 434 00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:30,960 And then I saw a clip of a match where he act he was trying to 435 00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:34,840 curse the other wrestler and he accidentally cursed the ref and 436 00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:39,080 the and and he got and he got pinned and the ref went one but 437 00:22:39,120 --> 00:22:40,880 the. Referee tried to pull it up and 438 00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:45,160 his arm, yeah, and. His arm, Obviously it was fake, 439 00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:49,720 but like he could. I, I don't know if you've, if 440 00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:51,640 you've heard this, but wrestling is fucking fiction. 441 00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:53,240 It's fucking fun. He couldn't. 442 00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:55,840 Get the freaking third hand. He couldn't get the three down. 443 00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:58,960 So then Dan Hazel was able to break out and and pin the other 444 00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:00,720 guy. Oh my God, that the you know 445 00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:02,880 what? It's just that that's some some 446 00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:05,360 of the most entertaining shit I've seen in a long time. 447 00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:09,120 And nefarious is. That's one of the things I 448 00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:12,160 really love about wrestling too, is when they play with the roles 449 00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:14,720 of it like that. And like, I think that's what 450 00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:18,960 makes Dan Hausen so fun is like he he kind of rides that line 451 00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:22,160 between, you know, storyline and real or whatever, where it's 452 00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:25,960 like he doesn't diminish the show by existing, but he makes 453 00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:29,600 it funny. So Nefarious doesn't really care 454 00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:31,800 for the whole Dan Housen thing because he's thinking back to 455 00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:35,280 wrestling when he was a kid and he's like, Oh no, it's just not 456 00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:37,600 like that anymore. It's just that's all a show now. 457 00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:39,000 And I'm like, it's always a show. 458 00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:41,080 Did he grow up during the Attitude Era? 459 00:23:41,360 --> 00:23:44,120 He grew up, well, I mean, we both grew up in the in the 80s. 460 00:23:44,120 --> 00:23:50,040 We were both 80s kids. Oh OK, OK OK OK, let's talk 461 00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:53,920 about the WWF in the 80s then with like Duke of the Dumpster, 462 00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:59,600 Drowsy and IRS and all of these characters that what, the 463 00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:02,480 fucking gobbledygooker, The Red Rooster? 464 00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:05,160 I tell Nefarious to go back and watch some 80s wrestling. 465 00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:08,560 Now granted, if he was a southern wrestling fan, he was 466 00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:10,560 getting real shit in the 80s. They were beating the fuck out 467 00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:13,120 of each other down here but. I have no idea. 468 00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:15,200 But I guarantee he's talking about Hulk Hogan. 469 00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:16,960 Macho Man. Oh, probably. 470 00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:18,800 Andre the Giant. Andre the Giant. 471 00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:21,840 Yeah, he's probably, yeah. Cuz when I think of wrestling as 472 00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:24,320 a kid and WWF as a kid, that's what I think of. 473 00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:25,680 Well, you should. You should go to work. 474 00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:29,880 You probably were watching more of that instead of like the WCW. 475 00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:33,040 It would just be at the same time Rick, Ric Flair versus 476 00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:35,680 Steamboat was happening and it was amazing. 477 00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:39,280 But WWE was also doing like crazy. 478 00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:42,000 Well, WWF at the time, but they were doing crazy, crazy things. 479 00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:44,360 They were making wrestling palatable. 480 00:24:44,360 --> 00:24:46,280 They were making it a worldwide, yeah. 481 00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:48,760 Rock and wrestling connection with Cyndi Lauper. 482 00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:51,480 Exactly, yes. That was literally the 483 00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:54,040 beginnings of WrestleMania, yes. Yeah. 484 00:24:54,120 --> 00:24:56,080 But actually I think that's. One of the. 485 00:24:56,320 --> 00:24:59,480 I was never super into wrestling when I was younger. 486 00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:02,760 I just the last few months that I've kind of really been into 487 00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:05,920 it, but every kid in the 80s knew who Hulk Hogan was. 488 00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:07,560 We knew we knew who Andre the Giant was. 489 00:25:07,560 --> 00:25:10,200 We knew who Ultimate Warrior was, no matter if that was 490 00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:12,840 watching if you watch wrestling or not, because the toys would 491 00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:15,320 be everywhere. Like and that's you should. 492 00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:18,960 That that might be what he's thinking of, like he's thinking 493 00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:22,440 of like seeing all the merchant shit as a kid and and all that. 494 00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:24,440 I, I have no idea what's going through his mind when he's 495 00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:26,920 saying it's not like it wasn't it probably it's not like it 496 00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:30,320 was. But it's because it's different. 497 00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:34,040 But it's different now. It's it's not bad. 498 00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:35,400 But in many ways. It's better, yeah. 499 00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:37,800 It's not in many ways better because it's just. 500 00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:41,240 It's not about. The average athlete is way 501 00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:44,040 better at the actual sport than they were at that time. 502 00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:48,200 But but it's, you know, I, I don't know, just, you know, as 503 00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:50,040 as. I I guarantee you if you watch 504 00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:51,000 the. Average. 505 00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:57,680 Let me finish as an older man.

And so to see that the whole 569 00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:10,320 family does it now is really cool, you know? 570 00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:12,840 But I think that's what you were about to allude to. 571 00:29:13,360 --> 00:29:17,120 Was him and was he fighting Roman Reigns? 572 00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:19,000 No, it's him. And yeah, yeah, it is Roman, 573 00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:21,520 Yeah. Yeah, he he made a comment about 574 00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:23,280 burying him with his father. Oh. 575 00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:25,120 My God, that's not where I was going to go. 576 00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:26,680 But yes, yeah, that that line too. 577 00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:28,480 Is is fucking hardcore. No, I was actually going to say 578 00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:31,560 just real quick that I saw today that Paige got resigned. 579 00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:35,440 And I was just watching a podcast the other day where Punk 580 00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:39,360 was talking about how he wanted AJ Lee to come back and see how 581 00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:41,560 different it was now from when they were there. 582 00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:44,680 And then AJ came back, saw how different it was. 583 00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:49,000 And she told Punk, I want Paige to come see how different it is 584 00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:50,960 now. And then I see today that Paige 585 00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:53,080 got resigned and said, son of a bitch, they made it happen. 586 00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:56,560 Look at that. But no dude, that I'm going to 587 00:29:56,560 --> 00:29:58,440 bury you next to your father line. 588 00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:00,760 Absolutely brutal. Yeah. 589 00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:04,520 And I don't know if that was a planned line because WWE 590 00:30:04,520 --> 00:30:06,720 released a statement about it and I don't know if the 591 00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:08,480 statement was. I don't know if the statement 592 00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:11,800 was planned. Exactly, it's one of those CM 593 00:30:11,800 --> 00:30:16,680 Punk things where he blends like reality and kayfabe into one 594 00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:17,080 thing. What? 595 00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:18,600 Is the line of it. Yeah, for sure. 596 00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:23,640 Yeah, he, he, he crosses the line constantly and on one hand 597 00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:25,640 it makes them dangerous, but on the other hand it makes them 598 00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:29,960 really exciting to have around. Yeah, no, I'm, I'm, yeah, I'm 599 00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:32,160 kind of enjoying those their antics. 600 00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:33,600 I'm enjoying the antics more than the wrestling. 601 00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:37,120 I mean, absolutely, like again, you're not like a deep wrestling 602 00:30:37,120 --> 00:30:40,480 fan yet you're not like the kind of guy who watches the match. 603 00:30:40,480 --> 00:30:43,240 He goes, oh, he almost hit him with a Northern light suplex. 604 00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:47,040 And yet the river, like, even if you don't wrestle, appreciate 605 00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:49,240 wrestling on that level, the fact that you appreciate it on 606 00:30:49,240 --> 00:30:53,400 the level of the guys fighting and having a reason to fight, 607 00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:56,040 like that's what really matters. I've got two things. 608 00:30:56,040 --> 00:30:58,560 One, I think if any match is going to get you this weekend, 609 00:30:58,920 --> 00:31:01,880 it's going to be that ladder match for the Intercontinental 610 00:31:01,880 --> 00:31:03,320 title. There's going to be some wild 611 00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:05,840 shit in that with Penta and Javon Evans, all those people. 612 00:31:05,840 --> 00:31:09,240 Yeah dude, that is the one I really need to see. 613 00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:12,080 And that one sounds fucking. Nutty. 614 00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:15,160 The The other thing I want to say is there was a time period 615 00:31:15,160 --> 00:31:18,840 where I got like jaded watching wrestling and it was around when 616 00:31:18,840 --> 00:31:21,240 I was working with fest and everything because I started 617 00:31:21,400 --> 00:31:24,720 looking into dirt sheets and getting into the online 618 00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:27,000 discourse and being like, oh, well, they should have booked it 619 00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:28,280 this way. They should have done this and 620 00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:29,760 that. And then I just one day I just 621 00:31:29,760 --> 00:31:33,120 said, this is fucking dumb. And I stopped doing that and I 622 00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:36,920 went back to just enjoying the show, watching it, not worrying 623 00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:39,080 about what's oh, why did they book this? 624 00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:40,280 Who did this? Who did what? 625 00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:41,920 Just watch the show and enjoy it. 626 00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:45,400 And I fell back in love with wrestling hardcore. 627 00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:48,680 And that's like I feel like I've been drawing people in with me 628 00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:51,320 in the Discord slowly but surely, you know, I mean like 629 00:31:51,320 --> 00:31:53,360 Willie was always, I was one of a wrestling buddy. 630 00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:55,000 I could chat with him and Nate about some stuff. 631 00:31:55,240 --> 00:31:58,280 Nate more so the old school WCW, but me and Willie could have 632 00:31:58,280 --> 00:32:00,200 conversations about the the more recent things. 633 00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:03,000 And then we drew Connor in. And then Adam started watching 634 00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:05,480 some stuff here and there. And then Mick started watching 635 00:32:05,480 --> 00:32:08,360 some stuff now here and there. And my buddy Tim joined the 636 00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:10,280 Discord and he's a big fan of wrestling. 637 00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:12,920 So it's like, it's like I'm gathering up a little crew of 638 00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:15,480 wrestling people though. Like the next Royal Rumble is 639 00:32:15,480 --> 00:32:19,240 gonna be lit. And it's not just WWE shit too. 640 00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:23,080 I would love to join you in like Joshi and shit like that. 641 00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:27,200 You know, just really explore the whole world of wrestling 642 00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:32,040 like triple, ER, CMLL, fucking all that kind of. 643 00:32:32,040 --> 00:32:36,400 Shit I I specifically went and made a playlist of and it's 644 00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:39,520 called classic matches to show the boys and. 645 00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:42,200 It's. I haven't even gotten to like 646 00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:44,000 WWF in matches and stuff like that. 647 00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:48,760 So it's like Kibashi Masawa, stuff like that all the way to 648 00:32:48,760 --> 00:32:54,560 like Sibernetico Conan or Sibernetico El Masias, maybe 649 00:32:54,560 --> 00:32:57,960 some El Santo, you know, like some like really old school shit 650 00:32:59,120 --> 00:33:03,760 from you know, 80s and 90s, like Triplea CMLL before. 651 00:33:03,760 --> 00:33:07,160 That truly excites me. So I, I really, I look forward 652 00:33:07,160 --> 00:33:10,000 to that when we finally decide to do that and once things calm 653 00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:12,440 down after, you know, with this work, what's going on right now, 654 00:33:12,440 --> 00:33:14,240 I think that'll be more feasible to figure out. 655 00:33:14,360 --> 00:33:15,400 I just got to get through Monday. 656 00:33:16,960 --> 00:33:20,440 So I I had an idea about wrestling I wanted to bring up 657 00:33:20,440 --> 00:33:21,000 with you by the. Way. 658 00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:22,600 Yeah, by all means. Then I'm going to let Mick vent 659 00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:24,400 because it's still me. Random. 660 00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:26,280 So Oh shit, yeah. You know what, Mick? 661 00:33:26,280 --> 00:33:27,480 You no. No, what's your what's your 662 00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:28,520 thing on wrestling real quick first. 663 00:33:29,200 --> 00:33:34,560 So I have an idea that I feel like there's got to be a line 664 00:33:34,560 --> 00:33:38,880 where you draw it where a Championship Wrestling 665 00:33:38,880 --> 00:33:43,120 Championship becomes a world title versus just being that 666 00:33:43,120 --> 00:33:45,560 company's championship, right? Yeah. 667 00:33:46,160 --> 00:33:47,960 And I feel like this is the line I draw. 668 00:33:48,160 --> 00:33:51,840 And I don't know if this is exactly accurate, but when we 669 00:33:51,840 --> 00:33:54,400 first had the idea of major wrestling companies that were 670 00:33:54,400 --> 00:33:59,120 nationwide, it was because there was WWF, WCW and ECW, right? 671 00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:00,160 Well. Yeah. 672 00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:04,640 So I feel like any company that was roughly equal to in 673 00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:09,560 viewership ECW, they can essentially create a world 674 00:34:09,560 --> 00:34:13,840 championship in my opinion. So I would say like TNA I've 675 00:34:13,840 --> 00:34:15,800 always felt a little questionable about because they 676 00:34:15,800 --> 00:34:19,840 had middling viewership. But I would say ultimately TNA 677 00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:23,880 did essentially have, well, they were the Second World 678 00:34:23,880 --> 00:34:25,760 championship for quite a while, I'd say. 679 00:34:25,960 --> 00:34:29,280 The thing with TNA is they had questionable viewership here. 680 00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:34,080 They were huge in Europe and especially in like England and 681 00:34:34,080 --> 00:34:36,159 Great Britain. They fucking love TNA and I 682 00:34:36,159 --> 00:34:38,840 don't know why but that. Was really interesting. 683 00:34:38,840 --> 00:34:41,520 I would like today, I would put like that ECW level. 684 00:34:41,520 --> 00:34:43,199 I would put like Ring of Honor at that. 685 00:34:43,400 --> 00:34:45,040 Ring of Honor, That's interesting because I always 686 00:34:45,040 --> 00:34:48,360 felt like Ring of Honor was like the line where I would say that 687 00:34:48,560 --> 00:34:50,400 that is where it becomes a question. 688 00:34:50,600 --> 00:34:54,040 Like Ring of Honor, I always thought was either the biggest 689 00:34:54,040 --> 00:34:58,560 indie company or the smallest major company, you know? 690 00:34:58,720 --> 00:35:00,480 I would have called them probably the smallest major 691 00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:02,320 company. OK, interesting. 692 00:35:02,360 --> 00:35:04,320 At least I actually would have come on the other side of that. 693 00:35:04,440 --> 00:35:05,720 I would have come on the other side of that. 694 00:35:05,720 --> 00:35:08,720 But I I get that. So like, like I would say that 695 00:35:08,720 --> 00:35:12,160 if someone like if Magnus called himself a world champion, a 696 00:35:12,160 --> 00:35:14,560 former world champion, I'd be like, yeah, fucking you hold the 697 00:35:14,560 --> 00:35:16,560 CNA championship. That's, that's a real world 698 00:35:16,560 --> 00:35:17,680 championship, you know, whatever. 699 00:35:17,680 --> 00:35:21,280 And then well and Nick Aldous has also held the the N.W.A 700 00:35:21,760 --> 00:35:23,000 World Heavyweight Championship as well. 701 00:35:24,080 --> 00:35:27,280 That 1 is really interesting because of the history of it to 702 00:35:27,280 --> 00:35:30,280 the point where I don't even know what, but like I would say 703 00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:33,640 look at so to me like major World Championships since like 704 00:35:33,640 --> 00:35:39,480 the 90s, I would say obviously WWFNWA. 705 00:35:39,760 --> 00:35:43,040 And so I guess Nick all just holds that history. 706 00:35:43,040 --> 00:35:49,920 So I guess there's that. WCWECWTNA possibly Ring of 707 00:35:49,920 --> 00:35:54,280 Honor, definitely AW and TNA. I think those are the World 708 00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:59,040 Championships in North America and then I think New Japan, AAA, 709 00:35:59,320 --> 00:36:01,720 CMLL. I don't know if there's anyone 710 00:36:01,720 --> 00:36:04,520 else. I would say Pro Wrestling Noah. 711 00:36:04,720 --> 00:36:09,120 I think Noah, OK, maybe Noah. Definitely was. 712 00:36:09,440 --> 00:36:13,320 Noah was definitely bigger than All Japan at one point, and All 713 00:36:13,320 --> 00:36:16,320 Japan was for a while also. But Noah? 714 00:36:16,720 --> 00:36:19,720 Noah came about from an exodus from all Japan, and in fact, 715 00:36:19,720 --> 00:36:24,160 Misawa called it Noah because of the biblical implications of 716 00:36:24,240 --> 00:36:26,040 taking a bunch of wrestlers on a boat. 717 00:36:26,640 --> 00:36:28,240 That's. Wrestling can be really poetic 718 00:36:28,240 --> 00:36:31,680 sometimes. God damn, that's actually really 719 00:36:31,680 --> 00:36:34,960 interesting. Yeah, I would, I would, yeah. 720 00:36:34,960 --> 00:36:37,360 I in that case, yeah, I would consider Noah. 721 00:36:37,640 --> 00:36:42,280 I would also say that because in JWPW doesn't hold a women's 722 00:36:42,280 --> 00:36:45,200 championship, I would say that probably there's a Joshi 723 00:36:45,200 --> 00:36:47,640 championship in Japan that you would consider world 724 00:36:47,640 --> 00:36:49,200 championship. Probably Stardom. 725 00:36:49,520 --> 00:36:51,680 Well, Stardom would have been the first one I would have gone 726 00:36:51,680 --> 00:36:52,720 with, yeah. I would say Stardom. 727 00:36:52,880 --> 00:36:55,080 There's also Marigold these days, but I would still put 728 00:36:55,080 --> 00:36:57,280 Stardom above them. As far as I pay to watch 729 00:36:57,280 --> 00:36:59,160 Stardom, I haven't paid to watch Marigold yet. 730 00:36:59,160 --> 00:37:01,360 Although the the one that comes with Marigold comes with 731 00:37:01,360 --> 00:37:08,280 Marigold and and NOAA and like I think TJPW and DDT All for One 732 00:37:08,280 --> 00:37:10,080 streaming service. And I'm just saying like 733 00:37:10,200 --> 00:37:12,520 watching. Is it Yoshihiko Yokihiko? 734 00:37:12,880 --> 00:37:15,080 I would like to see yeah, even though I think they're 735 00:37:15,080 --> 00:37:16,600 ridiculous. I'd like to watch one. 736 00:37:17,880 --> 00:37:20,840 DDT always just really did some interesting stuff. 737 00:37:20,840 --> 00:37:24,240 Like, I don't know, there was a really fun period of comedy 738 00:37:24,240 --> 00:37:28,760 wrestling at that point between DDT in Japan and Chikara in the 739 00:37:29,040 --> 00:37:31,720 US. Oh yeah, fucking chikara, like 740 00:37:31,760 --> 00:37:34,120 Curry man and stuff. But anyways, yeah, we, we, 741 00:37:34,280 --> 00:37:36,640 let's, we'll talk more about wrestling next week after 742 00:37:36,640 --> 00:37:38,840 WrestleMania cuz I know, I'm sure we've, we've bored Jeff 743 00:37:38,840 --> 00:37:43,040 enough and I know Mick's got a vent ready to open and let 744 00:37:43,040 --> 00:37:46,360 loose. I'm way too tired. 745 00:37:46,360 --> 00:37:48,040 Do you guys wanna? You guys wanna play a game? 746 00:37:48,200 --> 00:37:48,880 Yeah. Sure. 747 00:37:49,360 --> 00:37:51,760 Yeah, let's let's play a game. Like to play a game? 748 00:37:51,960 --> 00:37:53,400 Would you? Would you like to play a game? 749 00:37:53,480 --> 00:37:55,360 Like to play a girl? I would, Mick, let's play. 750 00:37:55,760 --> 00:38:02,880 All right, so I prep the draft in honor of our our fans over at 751 00:38:03,600 --> 00:38:06,280 Tadpog. So we played a boomer shooter. 752 00:38:06,560 --> 00:38:07,920 Huh. Do you mean friends? 753 00:38:08,040 --> 00:38:11,440 Friends fans, They're not the Tadpog people aren't fans of 754 00:38:11,440 --> 00:38:13,120 Steam Machine. I mean, Dave is. 755 00:38:13,440 --> 00:38:14,600 Oh well. Hi Dave. 756 00:38:14,600 --> 00:38:17,320 People listen to Steam Machine? Continue. 757 00:38:19,160 --> 00:38:21,080 People that aren't listening to this, listen to this. 758 00:38:22,360 --> 00:38:24,480 Somebody clipped this and and put it in their discord. 759 00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:32,560 Yeah, Grim. Anyway, so it's a 10 spot draft, 760 00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:40,560 it's a blind draft, and in honor of this week's boomer shooter, 761 00:38:41,760 --> 00:38:47,560 this topic is Worst Boomer shooter places to live. 762 00:38:48,280 --> 00:38:53,840 So 10 would be I can probably maybe somewhat survive this 763 00:38:53,840 --> 00:38:56,560 setting. One would be fuck, I'm dead. 764 00:38:56,800 --> 00:39:00,400 All right, so and you're saying this is a blind draft, so we 765 00:39:00,400 --> 00:39:03,720 have to like marry ourselves to a position without knowing 766 00:39:03,720 --> 00:39:04,800 what's coming? Correct. 767 00:39:04,800 --> 00:39:11,120 A couple more ground rules. The topic of this episode is not 768 00:39:11,120 --> 00:39:15,440 in the list, and neither is Doom because we automatically know 769 00:39:15,960 --> 00:39:18,800 that Willie would just put Doom in the most favorable spot. 770 00:39:19,600 --> 00:39:21,520 So I wanted to make things a little more challenging. 771 00:39:22,080 --> 00:39:24,960 All right, OK. And if you need a minute to 772 00:39:24,960 --> 00:39:29,160 Google these games to find out what the setting is, that's fine 773 00:39:29,160 --> 00:39:31,160 too. Perfect. 774 00:39:31,160 --> 00:39:33,720 Yeah, let me pull up a window just to make sure. 775 00:39:33,920 --> 00:39:36,960 Because I don't know that you guys have played. 776 00:39:36,960 --> 00:39:38,960 I haven't even played all of these. 777 00:39:39,280 --> 00:39:40,800 I'm gonna guess I played seven of them. 778 00:39:40,840 --> 00:39:42,560 Maybe we're gonna about to find out. 779 00:39:42,560 --> 00:39:44,720 That's just the number I came up with out of nowhere. 780 00:39:44,720 --> 00:39:46,320 We're. About to find out, you boys 781 00:39:46,320 --> 00:39:47,760 ready? Ready, man. 782 00:39:48,160 --> 00:39:51,280 All right. So hold on, so is 1 the most 783 00:39:51,280 --> 00:39:53,720 survivable or is 1 the most dangerous one? 784 00:39:53,720 --> 00:39:54,680 The. Most dangerous. 785 00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:57,640 OK, so one is the one we want to live in the least. 10 is the one 786 00:39:57,640 --> 00:39:59,360 we feel like we can make a summer, Yes. 787 00:39:59,640 --> 00:40:03,840 All right, all right, so first one hexon. 788 00:40:04,720 --> 00:40:08,160 Huh. OK, that is already starting off 789 00:40:08,160 --> 00:40:11,960 pretty strong. So Hexen is a magical world with 790 00:40:11,960 --> 00:40:16,080 a lot of interesting stuff going on in it, but it's also highly 791 00:40:16,080 --> 00:40:17,800 corrupted. It's kind of like Heretic. 792 00:40:17,800 --> 00:40:23,880 It's kind of like a medieval. I think Hexen is probably worse 793 00:40:23,880 --> 00:40:30,920 than Heretic in terms of like just being even more corrupted 794 00:40:30,920 --> 00:40:35,560 and having different kinds of horrible corruption again. 795 00:40:35,680 --> 00:40:38,800 So you said one is the most survivable or one is the 796 00:40:39,120 --> 00:40:40,840 sickest? One is the sickest. 797 00:40:41,840 --> 00:40:44,240 A filthy Hexen is probably around 4:00-ish. 798 00:40:44,240 --> 00:40:45,920 What do you think? Dalton I was thinking 5. 799 00:40:46,200 --> 00:40:48,200 Five. OK, I think I like 5 actually. 800 00:40:48,560 --> 00:40:51,320 So you're both going with five? Yeah, it gives us a non 801 00:40:51,320 --> 00:40:54,800 marriageable position. Makes sense. 802 00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:57,240 I don't know if things are going to get worse or better from 803 00:40:57,240 --> 00:41:01,160 here, by the way. Yeah, that's fine #2 Ion Fury. 804 00:41:02,120 --> 00:41:04,760 You know what, I actually think the eye inferior universe is 805 00:41:04,760 --> 00:41:09,320 pretty decent. Like it's basically like a near 806 00:41:09,320 --> 00:41:13,000 future Duke Nukem universe. I think it actually is the same 807 00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:18,720 universe as Duke Nukem is, but you've got Bombshell working on 808 00:41:18,720 --> 00:41:23,000 your side and she seems like really useful and like nice. 809 00:41:23,120 --> 00:41:25,520 I don't know, I feel like this would be like 8. 810 00:41:25,760 --> 00:41:28,560 So pretty you can you can probably, you know, rent an 811 00:41:28,560 --> 00:41:31,640 apartment and be yeah, go grocery shopping. 812 00:41:31,680 --> 00:41:34,120 It would be like be OK. Yeah, exactly. 813 00:41:34,480 --> 00:41:39,200 What do you think in Dalton? From the looks of it, it just 814 00:41:39,200 --> 00:41:42,560 looks like New York, so I'm going to go not 9. 815 00:41:42,760 --> 00:41:45,120 Nine OK, so you would only leave one more spot boy. 816 00:41:45,160 --> 00:41:47,760 OK, that's fine. I like that actually, because 817 00:41:47,880 --> 00:41:53,400 again, it's it's basically like it's a pretty livable universe. 818 00:41:53,920 --> 00:41:58,680 OK #3 turbo overkill. Actually, I have not that much 819 00:41:58,680 --> 00:42:02,360 info on Turbo Overkill. It's a game I know the title of, 820 00:42:02,360 --> 00:42:04,280 but I don't really know the game very well. 821 00:42:04,440 --> 00:42:08,160 I'll have to look into that one. Let's see. 822 00:42:10,120 --> 00:42:15,240 Cyberpunk theme shooter. Inspired by Doom and Duke Nukem 823 00:42:15,240 --> 00:42:18,760 3D, players controlled Johnny Turbo, a Cyborg with a chainsaw 824 00:42:18,760 --> 00:42:22,760 leg, arm, rockets and a grappling hook, fighting a rogue 825 00:42:22,920 --> 00:42:26,080 AI and its minions in the city of Paradise. 826 00:42:27,320 --> 00:42:29,960 I'm feeling hard 6 on this one actually. 827 00:42:30,160 --> 00:42:35,000 Setting is a cyberpunk world where a rogue AI has taken over 828 00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:38,080 the city of Paradise. It just sounds like a near 829 00:42:38,080 --> 00:42:41,000 future for us. Yeah, I'm feeling 6. 830 00:42:41,520 --> 00:42:43,800 Yeah, we can go 6. We got 5-6 and nine so far. 831 00:42:44,040 --> 00:42:51,080 Yeah, OK. #4 dusk. This is interesting because it 832 00:42:51,080 --> 00:42:55,280 depends on what part of Dusk you're exactly asking about. 833 00:42:55,920 --> 00:42:59,000 Because if you're asking do I live in Dusk, Pennsylvania, the 834 00:42:59,000 --> 00:43:02,040 above round town, it could be worse. 835 00:43:02,080 --> 00:43:07,160 But if you're asking if you live in later chapters, oh shit gets 836 00:43:07,160 --> 00:43:10,880 a little funky. I mean, you're probably going to 837 00:43:10,880 --> 00:43:16,840 be living there during the events of the game, so you're 838 00:43:16,840 --> 00:43:20,680 probably going to start off OK. And then, you know, you, you, 839 00:43:21,280 --> 00:43:24,040 you get up, you have some cereal one morning and shit goes down. 840 00:43:24,200 --> 00:43:29,440 Yeah. I mean crazed cultist lunatics 841 00:43:29,440 --> 00:43:31,680 with hoods on with coming at you with sickles. 842 00:43:32,160 --> 00:43:35,000 Not very fun. Now, and that's just how it 843 00:43:35,000 --> 00:43:38,720 begins for the guy that's considered the blessed good 844 00:43:38,840 --> 00:43:40,760 version of this game, I don't know. 845 00:43:40,760 --> 00:43:42,040 I think of this to be about fourth. 846 00:43:42,440 --> 00:43:47,200 I was also thinking 4. OK. #5 Quake. 847 00:43:47,960 --> 00:43:51,200 Interesting. Quake 1 yes all right. 848 00:43:51,200 --> 00:43:54,320 So the thing about Quake is I really do think that it has a 849 00:43:55,120 --> 00:44:01,440 complete it doesn't have a single concept of the 850 00:44:01,440 --> 00:44:04,280 architecture. It's multiple different settings 851 00:44:04,280 --> 00:44:08,680 all come together in one place. Like it feels like Cthulhu ish, 852 00:44:08,680 --> 00:44:11,880 it sometimes it feels like a military base, it sometimes it 853 00:44:11,880 --> 00:44:14,760 feels like gothic castles and other times. 854 00:44:15,240 --> 00:44:18,600 But I think that there's probably places in the Quake 855 00:44:18,600 --> 00:44:22,000 world you could find to just sit and chill. 856 00:44:22,440 --> 00:44:26,120 And I think I'm wanting to put Quake at 10. 857 00:44:26,440 --> 00:44:29,400 Wow, that's. I think, I think you could live 858 00:44:29,400 --> 00:44:30,720 there. I think you could live in those 859 00:44:30,720 --> 00:44:34,480 castles and be just OK. Interesting, I was not expecting 860 00:44:34,480 --> 00:44:36,640 that. Now neither was I, because this 861 00:44:36,640 --> 00:44:38,120 is one I thought you would bring up too. 862 00:44:38,120 --> 00:44:42,120 And I also thought, well, it also has those horrifying 863 00:44:42,120 --> 00:44:44,200 Lovecraftian horrors or whatever. 864 00:44:44,880 --> 00:44:47,600 Maybe when Dalton comes back he'll disagree with my point. 865 00:44:47,600 --> 00:44:49,240 But. We'll see what he has to say. 866 00:44:49,240 --> 00:44:54,440 Well, he seems to be back from his raging piss that he took and 867 00:44:54,440 --> 00:44:57,120 I planned that right for when his headphones went back on. 868 00:44:58,000 --> 00:45:03,280 That was a raging piss, Sir. Raging saw how quickly you left 869 00:45:03,280 --> 00:45:05,920 the room. Well, I was like quick, OK, I 870 00:45:05,960 --> 00:45:07,360 think about this one. Want to take a piss? 871 00:45:08,840 --> 00:45:10,600 So what did you think about when you came back? 872 00:45:10,720 --> 00:45:13,120 I don't remember there being much in Quake that I like 873 00:45:13,120 --> 00:45:15,040 Feared. It was just all kind of weird. 874 00:45:15,040 --> 00:45:17,600 That's the other thing. I feel like it's just places, 875 00:45:17,600 --> 00:45:20,120 you know, it's, it's a little liminal, it's a little weird, 876 00:45:20,120 --> 00:45:23,440 but I feel like it's not a hostile universe. 877 00:45:23,480 --> 00:45:26,080 I I'm putting this one at 10. I think this is the most 878 00:45:26,080 --> 00:45:27,240 survivable one we're going to get. 879 00:45:27,320 --> 00:45:28,920 I was I was between 8:00 and 10:00. 880 00:45:28,920 --> 00:45:31,760 I think I will agree with 10. OK, interesting. 881 00:45:32,160 --> 00:45:36,840 Number six, Duke Nukem. Oh aliens fucking up so. 882 00:45:36,880 --> 00:45:38,960 On the other one hand, yeah, exactly. 883 00:45:38,960 --> 00:45:43,680 On one hand, we have basically you live on the West Coast and 884 00:45:43,680 --> 00:45:47,000 it's cool as shit. On the other hand, yes, aliens 885 00:45:47,000 --> 00:45:49,240 have just showed up and fucked up your ride. 886 00:45:50,440 --> 00:45:53,040 You get access to cigarette, you get access to cigarettes and 887 00:45:53,040 --> 00:45:55,960 strip clubs. I'm feeling like this might be 888 00:45:55,960 --> 00:45:58,240 the eight. I honestly don't think Duke 889 00:45:58,240 --> 00:46:00,120 Nukem has that bad of a time of it. 890 00:46:00,240 --> 00:46:03,280 I was leaning towards 7 or 8. If you want to go 7, we can go 891 00:46:03,280 --> 00:46:04,920 7. If you want to go, we can go 8. 892 00:46:05,520 --> 00:46:07,120 Let's flip 1/4 on it because I'm torn. 893 00:46:07,200 --> 00:46:11,120 Let's go heads 7 tails 8. I got it right here. 894 00:46:11,120 --> 00:46:14,600 Let's land it on my chest. Picking it up hand we are on 895 00:46:14,600 --> 00:46:20,080 tails 8. So 8 All right, hey. #7 Ultra 896 00:46:20,080 --> 00:46:22,920 kill. 1. Right now with. 897 00:46:22,920 --> 00:46:25,200 The fat. That's the least survivable 898 00:46:25,200 --> 00:46:26,760 place. All right, I. 899 00:46:26,960 --> 00:46:30,720 Don't know when hell is full. Blood is fuel. 900 00:46:31,400 --> 00:46:35,200 Literally nothing lives except cybernetic organisms that use 901 00:46:35,320 --> 00:46:38,920 human blood as fuel from the afterlife. 902 00:46:39,200 --> 00:46:43,360 It's fucking cooked. I was holding up for #1 just 903 00:46:43,360 --> 00:46:44,960 because I thought Ultra Kill might show. 904 00:46:44,960 --> 00:46:46,040 Up. Interesting. 905 00:46:46,240 --> 00:46:49,840 I wasn't sure how aware you guys were of that. 906 00:46:49,840 --> 00:46:51,240 Game. I don't know much about it. 907 00:46:52,720 --> 00:46:54,440 I'm looking, it'll come up on the podcast. 908 00:46:54,680 --> 00:46:57,400 Oh boy #8. Fast-paced ultraviolet. 909 00:46:57,440 --> 00:46:59,200 So yeah, we'll throw it at one, OK. 910 00:46:59,360 --> 00:47:02,320 Yeah, it's it's, it's, it's one you you do not, you don't. 911 00:47:02,320 --> 00:47:06,240 Not only do you not live through Ultra Kill, not only does your 912 00:47:06,240 --> 00:47:10,480 soul not get rest in Ultra Kill, but even after all of that, your 913 00:47:10,480 --> 00:47:13,560 soul is just being channeled for a weapons ammunition. 914 00:47:14,760 --> 00:47:17,080 Oh yeah, that sounds like a one. That's brutal. 915 00:47:17,480 --> 00:47:20,120 Yeah, that sounds pretty brutal. And I'm, I'm looking at the rest 916 00:47:20,120 --> 00:47:22,680 of the list and you might have made a good choice there. 917 00:47:23,040 --> 00:47:28,600 Number 8 Unreal Tournament 07. I like, yeah, I was going to say 918 00:47:28,600 --> 00:47:31,640 whatever the nicest thing we have left is Unreal Tournament. 919 00:47:31,960 --> 00:47:35,600 I really do think that like it's it's even though it is 920 00:47:35,600 --> 00:47:38,360 gladiatorial combat, at least it's fun. 921 00:47:38,880 --> 00:47:40,520 I feel like I would have a good. Time there. 922 00:47:40,640 --> 00:47:44,240 If we weren't, if we weren't the Gladiators, yeah. 923 00:47:44,240 --> 00:47:45,840 Then yeah, fuck yeah. Unreal Tournament's great. 924 00:47:47,000 --> 00:47:49,840 OK, yeah, Facing World's one of the coolest levels ever made. 925 00:47:50,000 --> 00:47:51,840 Let's go #9 so. We got. 926 00:47:52,000 --> 00:47:55,400 You got 2 and. 3 left, right. You got two and three as least 927 00:47:55,400 --> 00:47:57,040 no. I think that's right, OK. 928 00:47:57,280 --> 00:48:00,360 This this gets even more and more interesting because you, 929 00:48:00,440 --> 00:48:05,280 you have to, you have to decide which one of of what's left goes 930 00:48:05,280 --> 00:48:08,600 in the two slot, which is secondly survivable to Ultra 931 00:48:08,600 --> 00:48:11,360 Kill. Which brings us to #9 Blood. 932 00:48:16,000 --> 00:48:19,760 I feel like Blood is also really similar to Dusk in that it's 933 00:48:19,760 --> 00:48:22,920 like, you know, a town with a lot of cultists and that kind of 934 00:48:22,920 --> 00:48:26,040 shit. But but is the one that's left 935 00:48:26,040 --> 00:48:29,280 painkiller? Yeah, it might be because. 936 00:48:29,960 --> 00:48:31,480 Because painkiller would suck too. 937 00:48:33,240 --> 00:48:38,000 I feel like I I want to three it, I want to three it, just to 938 00:48:38,000 --> 00:48:41,160 see what's left. You do blood at 3:00, we could 939 00:48:41,200 --> 00:48:42,120 do bullet at three. Yeah. 940 00:48:42,120 --> 00:48:43,280 All right. What's it #2 then? 941 00:48:43,840 --> 00:48:47,000 #10 the final one, which you're putting in the two slot 942 00:48:47,640 --> 00:48:52,520 Wolfenstein 3D. Shit, OK, that is literally a 943 00:48:52,520 --> 00:48:59,040 Nazi torture camp so I might not have put that at #2 but it's 944 00:48:59,040 --> 00:49:01,880 definitely not a great place to be. 945 00:49:02,200 --> 00:49:04,280 There's about 6 million people that probably would have put it 946 00:49:04,280 --> 00:49:06,280 at #1 really. Oh yeah. 947 00:49:06,600 --> 00:49:11,280 He went there. But no yeah I I agree I mean #2 948 00:49:11,280 --> 00:49:13,720 is not bad for AI mean kill Nazi. 949 00:49:13,720 --> 00:49:18,080 I mean, concentration camp versus death and soul used for a 950 00:49:18,080 --> 00:49:20,360 weapon. Yeah, I, I, I could see that 951 00:49:20,360 --> 00:49:23,440 placement. Imagine dying in a concentration 952 00:49:23,440 --> 00:49:26,680 camp and then waking up in Ultra Kill. 953 00:49:27,240 --> 00:49:28,680 And that's just the afterlife you're in. 954 00:49:28,680 --> 00:49:31,480 Oh. No, fuck no, that doesn't sound 955 00:49:31,480 --> 00:49:35,600 fun at all. No, I would rather not have 956 00:49:35,600 --> 00:49:37,640 mentioned. That So what did you pick for 957 00:49:37,640 --> 00:49:40,000 number 10 again? Where are you thinking your 958 00:49:40,000 --> 00:49:41,920 summer home? Quake. 959 00:49:42,360 --> 00:49:43,240 Quake. Did we put Quake? 960 00:49:43,320 --> 00:49:44,680 I think we said Quake, you said you're. 961 00:49:44,880 --> 00:49:46,240 Just going to live in the castle. 962 00:49:47,080 --> 00:49:50,640 Because we just thought it was like, it just seems survivable, 963 00:49:50,640 --> 00:49:54,040 you know, It had a lot of different variations. 964 00:49:54,520 --> 00:49:57,040 It's like cut Lovecraftian in some places. 965 00:49:57,040 --> 00:50:00,280 Other places are just like beautiful gothic castles, you 966 00:50:00,280 --> 00:50:02,360 know, It just seemed nice of. Course, if I'm being chased I 967 00:50:02,360 --> 00:50:05,440 can just run diagonal diagonally and it's really fast and I'll 968 00:50:05,440 --> 00:50:07,360 get away. Yeah, just jump a bunch and 969 00:50:07,360 --> 00:50:11,160 they're fucking gone, dude. Waz the heck out of there. 970 00:50:11,360 --> 00:50:14,280 Exactly. So that's our draft. 971 00:50:14,760 --> 00:50:18,880 Those are those are the worst places to live from the boomer 972 00:50:18,880 --> 00:50:21,600 shooter. Boomer shooter the universe. 973 00:50:21,720 --> 00:50:23,960 No, no, no, no, no. I am. 974 00:50:24,040 --> 00:50:29,240 Much like backlogs golf, they are now Boober Schumers. 975 00:50:29,280 --> 00:50:36,360 That is fantastic. Boober Schumers make the. 976 00:50:37,360 --> 00:50:38,960 Make it right now before you forget. 977 00:50:39,080 --> 00:50:40,800 Make the channel right now in the discord. 978 00:50:40,960 --> 00:50:42,560 We don't have a boomer shooter channel. 979 00:50:42,560 --> 00:50:45,080 You're gonna make your own Boomer Schumer channel. 980 00:50:45,760 --> 00:50:47,920 What is it? Do I have admin privileges? 981 00:50:48,080 --> 00:50:51,200 I'm doing it right now. OK, I was gonna say, if I have 982 00:50:51,200 --> 00:50:52,760 the ability to do it, I'll do it myself. 983 00:50:52,840 --> 00:50:57,120 Boober Schumer's spell it I'm going to tell you how to spell 984 00:50:57,120 --> 00:50:59,840 it in the chat just to just to really throw people off I'm. 985 00:50:59,840 --> 00:51:02,920 Just glad, I'm just glad I was sitting there waiting for Ultra 986 00:51:02,920 --> 00:51:06,360 Kill because I knew Ultra Kill was coming and yeah, that's it's 987 00:51:06,360 --> 00:51:07,560 the worst. So. 988 00:51:08,000 --> 00:51:10,920 Literally, have you ever played Ultra Kill before Michelob? 989 00:51:10,920 --> 00:51:14,560 No, but there is a. Do you know what it shows you 990 00:51:14,560 --> 00:51:16,920 when you first when you first opened the game? 991 00:51:16,920 --> 00:51:21,640 It says hell is full blood is fuel, and that's it. 992 00:51:21,960 --> 00:51:23,920 That's the introduction of that game is. 993 00:51:24,080 --> 00:51:28,280 A crossover with PAL World. Oh, that's fascinating. 994 00:51:28,280 --> 00:51:31,120 And one of the things it gives you, or one of the things you 995 00:51:31,120 --> 00:51:36,120 could craft in the crossover is a gun that replaces you throwing 996 00:51:36,120 --> 00:51:40,000 the PAL sphere with a you throw a coin instead, and then you 997 00:51:40,000 --> 00:51:41,680 could shoot the coin. Oh, nice. 998 00:51:41,720 --> 00:51:43,720 And I'm guessing that's something you can do on Ultra 999 00:51:43,720 --> 00:51:45,360 Kill. Yeah, that's a that's a major 1000 00:51:45,360 --> 00:51:49,920 mechanic in the early game, like after the first world basically 1001 00:51:49,920 --> 00:51:53,120 is like one of the ways you like set up your combos because Ultra 1002 00:51:53,120 --> 00:51:56,840 Kill plays a lot like Devil May Cry and in terms of setting up 1003 00:51:56,840 --> 00:51:57,760 combos. Gotcha. 1004 00:51:58,040 --> 00:52:00,200 All right. Well boys, I know it's getting 1005 00:52:00,200 --> 00:52:03,760 late for make and everything, so let's talk some a medieval and 1006 00:52:03,760 --> 00:52:06,720 then we can talk about what we're doing from here on out. 1007 00:52:06,800 --> 00:52:10,080 So let me hell yeah, that little quick, that little Wicca booty 1008 00:52:10,080 --> 00:52:12,400 of bullshit, as we say here. See Mick, you're not the only 1009 00:52:12,400 --> 00:52:14,080 one that gets hit with that. I did that to myself. 1010 00:52:14,080 --> 00:52:15,920 Wicca booty. I didn't say that on purpose, 1011 00:52:15,920 --> 00:52:19,320 but it's stuck. It's true, but I don't know it's 1012 00:52:19,400 --> 00:52:21,160 it's a little bit more respectable than Boober 1013 00:52:21,160 --> 00:52:25,080 Schumer's. Which is I Frederick Boomer 1014 00:52:25,080 --> 00:52:26,800 Schumer. I'm actually I'm actually 1015 00:52:26,800 --> 00:52:28,960 checking to see if you actually put it into the discord yet. 1016 00:52:29,600 --> 00:52:31,120 I did. I just spelled it like shooter. 1017 00:52:31,120 --> 00:52:33,880 I just put HOHOI had already done it before you typed that. 1018 00:52:34,600 --> 00:52:37,200 Oh, OK. Oh, I see it. 1019 00:52:37,200 --> 00:52:38,840 Willie's boober. Schumer's OK. 1020 00:52:39,000 --> 00:52:40,680 I see. Yeah, Willie's Boomer Boober 1021 00:52:40,680 --> 00:52:41,880 Schumer's. That works. 1022 00:52:42,160 --> 00:52:43,480 Oh, my name's on it. Cool. 1023 00:52:44,520 --> 00:52:45,880 Yeah. See double rib. 1024 00:52:46,400 --> 00:52:50,880 Yeah, A Medieval is a first person shooter video game 1025 00:52:50,880 --> 00:52:53,000 developed by. Indefatigable. 1026 00:52:53,000 --> 00:52:55,800 Thank you and published by New Blood Interactive. 1027 00:52:56,440 --> 00:52:59,360 The game's dark fantasy theme, action oriented gameplay and 1028 00:52:59,360 --> 00:53:01,960 retro inspired visual elements have earned it frequent 1029 00:53:01,960 --> 00:53:06,080 descriptions as a spiritual successor to 1994's Heretic and 1030 00:53:06,080 --> 00:53:09,280 1995's Hexen. In the ancient past, the 1031 00:53:09,280 --> 00:53:11,840 mysterious and powerful Evil Force has appeared and corrupted 1032 00:53:11,840 --> 00:53:13,400 the sacred lands of the Known Realms. 1033 00:53:13,760 --> 00:53:16,240 Though many heroes have tried to defeat the evil Force, none have 1034 00:53:16,240 --> 00:53:19,400 succeeded. The protagonist, known only as 1035 00:53:19,400 --> 00:53:22,200 the Champion, is the first to overcome the trial of the Black 1036 00:53:22,200 --> 00:53:25,680 Labyrinth and to win the right to carry a holy battle axe. 1037 00:53:26,120 --> 00:53:28,240 Possessing this powerful relic grants the wielder passage to 1038 00:53:28,240 --> 00:53:30,760 the Higher Plains, and as the Champion travels to the 1039 00:53:30,760 --> 00:53:33,920 interdimensional gateway voice, the voices of ancient deities 1040 00:53:33,920 --> 00:53:36,000 warn of the greater power of the evil Force and implore the 1041 00:53:36,000 --> 00:53:38,080 Champion to cleanse the sacred Lands. 1042 00:53:38,240 --> 00:53:40,200 So, Willie, this was your pick, man. 1043 00:53:40,760 --> 00:53:42,800 What What made you pick it and what were your first 1044 00:53:42,800 --> 00:53:45,360 impressions? Thing one that made me pick this 1045 00:53:45,360 --> 00:53:49,600 game was we've played so many games that had a ton of just 1046 00:53:50,080 --> 00:53:53,480 mental and time overhead that I really just wanted to play a 1047 00:53:53,480 --> 00:53:57,080 game that would let us play a game on our own hours. 1048 00:53:57,080 --> 00:54:00,000 And then if you played it for 20 hours, cool. 1049 00:54:00,000 --> 00:54:02,440 If you played it for one hour, also cool. 1050 00:54:02,640 --> 00:54:05,800 I wanted the game with no obligation for any of us. 1051 00:54:06,120 --> 00:54:10,120 That's fair. My first impression, I actually 1052 00:54:10,120 --> 00:54:13,960 got this game as part of a package a long time ago. 1053 00:54:14,280 --> 00:54:17,640 I can't even actually remember what package it was, but I think 1054 00:54:17,640 --> 00:54:20,640 I got it the same time I got Dusk in several other games. 1055 00:54:20,960 --> 00:54:26,160 And I'd seen people refer to a medieval Dusk and Ultra Kill as 1056 00:54:26,160 --> 00:54:30,600 kind of being like the modern boomer shooter trilogy. 1057 00:54:30,840 --> 00:54:36,520 So I definitely just was curious after playing and loving Dusk 1058 00:54:37,000 --> 00:54:40,920 that I had to try this out. And yeah, once I started playing 1059 00:54:40,920 --> 00:54:42,800 and I'm like, I want to share this with my friends. 1060 00:54:43,240 --> 00:54:45,640 Oh yeah, Mick, what about you? What was your first impression 1061 00:54:45,640 --> 00:54:52,240 of this? So I booted up the game, got 1062 00:54:52,240 --> 00:54:57,720 dropped in a miss school area with a giant axe, said oh cool I 1063 00:54:57,720 --> 00:55:00,840 have a giant axe. Walked around for a little bit, 1064 00:55:01,440 --> 00:55:04,480 killed some bad guys, got some power ups. 1065 00:55:05,200 --> 00:55:08,360 Walked around for a little bit more, Got a staff that shot 1066 00:55:08,360 --> 00:55:12,560 magic, Switched to the staff, walked around a little bit more, 1067 00:55:12,560 --> 00:55:15,400 killed a couple more bad guys. Walked around a little bit more, 1068 00:55:15,400 --> 00:55:17,840 Found bad guys that can shoot you from a distance. 1069 00:55:18,040 --> 00:55:22,720 Died, respawned. Went to go fight those same guys 1070 00:55:22,720 --> 00:55:24,960 again, died. Respawned. 1071 00:55:25,440 --> 00:55:29,040 Went to go fight those same guys again, Died, respawned. 1072 00:55:29,560 --> 00:55:31,880 Repeat ad nauseam for about an hour. 1073 00:55:32,200 --> 00:55:33,640 Put the game down, never picked it up again. 1074 00:55:34,720 --> 00:55:38,440 I would love to watch how you played the game because I 1075 00:55:38,440 --> 00:55:41,840 genuinely don't understand how it turned out that way and I 1076 00:55:41,840 --> 00:55:44,080 would love to see you streaming to me at some point. 1077 00:55:44,520 --> 00:55:49,280 I will, but basically I I don't know, I just, you know, I was 1078 00:55:49,280 --> 00:55:51,160 picking up hell, that was picking up mana. 1079 00:55:51,160 --> 00:55:56,840 I was using abilities and I just, I could not keep myself 1080 00:55:56,840 --> 00:56:00,360 from getting hit by the magic that was coming at me from a 1081 00:56:00,360 --> 00:56:03,000 distance. It did way too much damage and I 1082 00:56:03,000 --> 00:56:05,600 died. It was literally like it was 1083 00:56:05,640 --> 00:56:07,960 literally like at the point where it's like, how did this 1084 00:56:07,960 --> 00:56:10,160 happen and why does this keep happening? 1085 00:56:10,360 --> 00:56:12,440 Because it seems like I have enough health. 1086 00:56:12,960 --> 00:56:15,080 I'm not in the highest difficulty. 1087 00:56:15,240 --> 00:56:19,000 I'm like, this should be easier than it is. 1088 00:56:19,120 --> 00:56:23,680 And it just, it kept happening like whatever they were shooting 1089 00:56:23,680 --> 00:56:27,360 me with was hitting me like a tank and they just kept coming. 1090 00:56:27,360 --> 00:56:29,800 It just kept coming. Like I'd get hit, I'd see the 1091 00:56:29,800 --> 00:56:32,560 flash of red, I'd try to move out of the way, I'd get hit, I'd 1092 00:56:32,560 --> 00:56:34,880 see the flash of red. And the next thing I know, I'm 1093 00:56:34,880 --> 00:56:38,360 dead and responding. And it it was, it was I, I just 1094 00:56:38,360 --> 00:56:40,640 could not figure out why I kept dying. 1095 00:56:40,880 --> 00:56:44,840 This game does something that I consider a cardinal sin in games 1096 00:56:44,840 --> 00:56:47,960 like this and that is that they have enemies come at you from 1097 00:56:47,960 --> 00:56:50,400 behind. Like they'll spawn behind you 1098 00:56:50,400 --> 00:56:54,640 and come at you like which I haven't run into a ton and like 1099 00:56:54,840 --> 00:56:56,560 when I. Not very frequently, no. 1100 00:56:56,560 --> 00:56:59,720 And that very well could be something that you just weren't 1101 00:56:59,720 --> 00:57:01,480 noticing, that something was spawning in behind you and 1102 00:57:01,480 --> 00:57:03,120 shooting you from behind as well. 1103 00:57:03,760 --> 00:57:05,280 No, wouldn't have happened in Shaker One. 1104 00:57:05,760 --> 00:57:08,480 That's fair. Once I got to, I'll say this 1105 00:57:08,480 --> 00:57:12,360 with my first impressions. Like I, I love the aesthetic of 1106 00:57:12,360 --> 00:57:14,560 this game, right? The levels and stuff were super 1107 00:57:14,560 --> 00:57:16,680 cool. I thought the gameplay was 1108 00:57:16,680 --> 00:57:18,760 really fun. I got to a certain point and let 1109 00:57:18,760 --> 00:57:21,800 me look at the list of episodes. So I can tell you when it was. 1110 00:57:21,960 --> 00:57:26,240 I think it was the Solar Solstice was the first time that 1111 00:57:26,240 --> 00:57:29,240 I was like, OK, I keep getting my ass handed to. 1112 00:57:29,240 --> 00:57:33,360 I don't remember what kind of enemy it was, but it was a one 1113 00:57:33,360 --> 00:57:35,760 of the ones that took a few shots to kill. 1114 00:57:35,760 --> 00:57:36,720 But dude, they were just hitting me. 1115 00:57:36,720 --> 00:57:38,200 Like you said, they were hitting me like a truck. 1116 00:57:38,520 --> 00:57:41,280 And I was just like, fuck this. And I looked it all up and I 1117 00:57:41,280 --> 00:57:42,720 know Willy, I know what you're going to say. 1118 00:57:42,720 --> 00:57:44,960 But so I looked up because I'm like, this is a boomer shooter. 1119 00:57:44,960 --> 00:57:47,000 I know it's got cheats. What what is this? 1120 00:57:47,000 --> 00:57:51,480 So I found the cheat for infinite health, bopped that in 1121 00:57:51,640 --> 00:57:54,160 and then proceeded to be able to finish the level. 1122 00:57:54,160 --> 00:57:56,920 And really, you know, I started really enjoying the game more 1123 00:57:57,200 --> 00:58:00,040 when I could focus, because when I put in infinite health, I 1124 00:58:00,040 --> 00:58:01,200 don't just stand there like a tank. 1125 00:58:01,200 --> 00:58:03,520 I will still try to avoid everything, right? 1126 00:58:03,560 --> 00:58:05,680 I still want to play the game as should be played. 1127 00:58:06,000 --> 00:58:08,760 I just don't want to have to deal with playing a level over 1128 00:58:08,760 --> 00:58:10,480 and over and over. Once I remembered that I could 1129 00:58:10,480 --> 00:58:13,520 F5 and quick save, that was a big one too. 1130 00:58:13,520 --> 00:58:15,600 I always forget that that's a thing on PC but. 1131 00:58:16,240 --> 00:58:18,320 Yeah, You know, though, one of the funny things too is like 1132 00:58:18,320 --> 00:58:21,160 this game is one of those games that I had this similar feeling 1133 00:58:21,240 --> 00:58:24,960 in a lot of boomer shooters where like if I just allow 1134 00:58:24,960 --> 00:58:28,120 myself to save, I don't die afterwards. 1135 00:58:28,360 --> 00:58:33,200 But if I, I don't let myself save, I like get in my own head 1136 00:58:33,200 --> 00:58:36,280 and I get fucking wrecked, you know a. 100% happens. 1137 00:58:36,360 --> 00:58:37,880 To So I made a ton of saves in this game. 1138 00:58:37,880 --> 00:58:41,200 I'm well, I'll be honest, I did use a lot of saves in this game. 1139 00:58:41,600 --> 00:58:44,600 I didn't have to load a lot of those saves, but I did make a 1140 00:58:44,600 --> 00:58:46,520 ton of saves. I didn't even know that was a 1141 00:58:46,520 --> 00:58:49,880 thing, but I was also playing. I was also playing in the Steam 1142 00:58:49,880 --> 00:58:52,560 Deck so I didn't really know any keyboard controls. 1143 00:58:54,080 --> 00:58:57,640 There is one level in this game that I need to, I need that we 1144 00:58:57,640 --> 00:58:59,880 need to talk about and that is the forges. 1145 00:59:00,760 --> 00:59:02,920 Ohh yeah never made you mentioned this. 1146 00:59:02,920 --> 00:59:07,400 Like you actually got ahead of me briefly cause when I picked 1147 00:59:07,400 --> 00:59:11,560 this game I played like 4 chapters of it out of seven and 1148 00:59:11,560 --> 00:59:15,320 you went and played the forges out of order and then messaged 1149 00:59:15,320 --> 00:59:19,920 us and said like I fell off of this incredibly high place and I 1150 00:59:19,920 --> 00:59:24,040 am just rage quitting. It's exactly what happened, I 1151 00:59:24,040 --> 00:59:28,400 made it so far up and then just made one wrong mistake and fell 1152 00:59:28,400 --> 00:59:30,800 all the way back to the beginning of the level and 1153 00:59:30,800 --> 00:59:33,600 promptly alt F horde. I was like. 1154 00:59:33,680 --> 00:59:35,520 And. Also the forges is one of like 1155 00:59:35,800 --> 00:59:38,240 the two episodes where if you fall out of the world I think it 1156 00:59:38,240 --> 00:59:40,800 does kill you instead of responding you so. 1157 00:59:41,160 --> 00:59:44,480 Yeah, and there's all just a lot of first person platforming. 1158 00:59:44,680 --> 00:59:48,040 Now they did for the most part do pretty good with the first 1159 00:59:48,040 --> 00:59:52,040 person, first person platforming sections, but whoever made the 1160 00:59:52,040 --> 00:59:55,120 forges was evil. I did feel also like once you 1161 00:59:55,120 --> 00:59:58,800 understood that, like you had to jump early instead of elite like 1162 00:59:58,880 --> 01:00:01,160 most of the platform, it was pretty good if you just 1163 01:00:01,160 --> 01:00:04,160 recognize jump early. But it took me a while to learn 1164 01:00:04,160 --> 01:00:05,480 that too. So yeah. 1165 01:00:05,800 --> 01:00:07,120 I hate platform. I just, I don't. 1166 01:00:07,120 --> 01:00:09,000 Know in shooter games, I hate them. 1167 01:00:09,120 --> 01:00:10,800 I hate it. I hated it in Half Life. 1168 01:00:10,800 --> 01:00:13,720 I I. Wouldn't if I had gotten any 1169 01:00:13,720 --> 01:00:15,240 further I would have hated it here. 1170 01:00:16,200 --> 01:00:18,400 If if you didn't like it in Half Life, you weren't going to have 1171 01:00:18,400 --> 01:00:19,920 a good time with the platforming of this game. 1172 01:00:20,320 --> 01:00:23,280 Although it did do a, the platform was fun for finding 1173 01:00:23,280 --> 01:00:26,000 hidden stuff. I thought, yeah, I will, I will 1174 01:00:26,000 --> 01:00:27,080 say that. I'll give you that. 1175 01:00:27,840 --> 01:00:31,480 And the couple of levels that had like where water was above 1176 01:00:31,480 --> 01:00:35,040 you somehow and you would end up in the water that's above you 1177 01:00:35,040 --> 01:00:37,840 and swimming around, but if you fell out of the bottom, you 1178 01:00:37,840 --> 01:00:40,120 would just plummet to wherever the fuck like that was 1179 01:00:40,120 --> 01:00:43,440 interesting. Yeah, there was some strange 1180 01:00:43,440 --> 01:00:47,600 fluid roles, but also, you know, revolved around, you know, the 1181 01:00:47,600 --> 01:00:50,640 power of the evil being able to warp time and space. 1182 01:00:50,840 --> 01:00:53,800 One thing that I absolutely didn't think of doing until just 1183 01:00:53,800 --> 01:00:57,720 now, but I absolutely should have done was so you have your 1184 01:00:57,720 --> 01:00:59,600 main fire and then you have alt fire. 1185 01:00:59,960 --> 01:01:04,120 Now alt fire, you hit that and it just activates your soul 1186 01:01:04,120 --> 01:01:06,960 meter and you have a new way to shoot. 1187 01:01:07,200 --> 01:01:11,120 When I'm holding my mouse and I'm like doing stuff, my fucking 1188 01:01:11,120 --> 01:01:13,600 middle finger will randomly just twitch and click. 1189 01:01:13,720 --> 01:01:16,400 And I would random, I would just be running down the hallway and 1190 01:01:16,400 --> 01:01:19,600 activate that and waste it and I would be so annoyed with myself. 1191 01:01:19,760 --> 01:01:21,960 So I had to. And now that I'm thinking about 1192 01:01:21,960 --> 01:01:24,040 it, next time if we do a game that's like that again, I'm 1193 01:01:24,040 --> 01:01:26,080 going to remap that to one of my side mouse buttons because I 1194 01:01:26,080 --> 01:01:28,880 don't hit those near as often. But yeah, the Speaking of the 1195 01:01:28,880 --> 01:01:30,920 weapons, the old fires were cool. 1196 01:01:30,920 --> 01:01:33,520 The I really liked what I called the painkiller weapon that was 1197 01:01:33,520 --> 01:01:35,240 like my main go to and it's just like. 1198 01:01:35,480 --> 01:01:38,160 Yeah, the star of torment.

But the the weirdest weapon to 1202 01:01:45,160 --> 01:01:48,920 me was like the ribbons that shot the lightning ball. 1203 01:01:49,360 --> 01:01:52,440 Oh the eternum the the basically the BFG game. 1204 01:01:52,920 --> 01:01:57,320 Yeah, that when you did alternate fire it shot black 1205 01:01:57,320 --> 01:01:59,640 holes.

Destruction. 1246 01:03:48,520 --> 01:03:51,000 So I did I did enjoy the the weapons in this a lot. 1247 01:03:51,000 --> 01:03:52,080 I thought they were very creative. 1248 01:03:52,080 --> 01:03:54,680 Gave me I think Willie, at one point I messaged you and said 1249 01:03:54,680 --> 01:03:57,520 this is giving me wrecker vibes with this axe yeah. 1250 01:03:57,600 --> 01:03:59,800 Which is a Doom mod that's become its own thing. 1251 01:03:59,880 --> 01:04:02,280 Which is, well, I'm sure that'll come up for the show at some 1252 01:04:02,280 --> 01:04:04,800 point, too. Oh, I'd love to play record for 1253 01:04:04,800 --> 01:04:07,960 it. The I, I I have thoughts on the 1254 01:04:07,960 --> 01:04:09,760 the final boss. I don't know about you. 1255 01:04:10,600 --> 01:04:13,600 You know, I don't know what you did on the final boss, but 1256 01:04:13,600 --> 01:04:17,000 personally I found a really stupid excellent. 1257 01:04:18,360 --> 01:04:21,440 I alt fired with the the star of pain. 1258 01:04:21,440 --> 01:04:23,640 You said the star of pain. Start Torment. 1259 01:04:24,000 --> 01:04:27,240 And I I wore him down with that and then I popped over to just 1260 01:04:27,240 --> 01:04:28,720 hitting him with planets until he died. 1261 01:04:29,240 --> 01:04:34,080 I literally just stood behind the blue mana thing because it 1262 01:04:34,080 --> 01:04:36,520 turns out you could just hide there and it couldn't hit you 1263 01:04:36,800 --> 01:04:40,040 and I would just reach out and I would shoot it and it would give 1264 01:04:40,040 --> 01:04:43,600 me more mana and I could just reload that and then just keep 1265 01:04:43,600 --> 01:04:46,320 on doing it. I I did notice the the more 1266 01:04:46,320 --> 01:04:48,600 David you did to him it would give you soul meter back. 1267 01:04:48,600 --> 01:04:50,760 So I was popping that as every time I could. 1268 01:04:51,400 --> 01:04:54,040 Yeah, but I just noticed that the the blue soul meter seemed 1269 01:04:54,040 --> 01:04:57,280 to do the most damage to. Also I would like to talk about 1270 01:04:57,280 --> 01:05:01,040 the the soul meter weapons for a moment 'cause like I really 1271 01:05:01,040 --> 01:05:04,400 thought that was cool. So it was kind of like a 1272 01:05:04,400 --> 01:05:08,600 heretic's tome of power where every weapon has a unique form. 1273 01:05:08,960 --> 01:05:11,840 But like one thing I really liked is even the first weapon 1274 01:05:11,840 --> 01:05:16,040 you pick up, the Azure staff, like it becomes this like 1275 01:05:16,240 --> 01:05:19,480 horrifying rain of water and stuff. 1276 01:05:19,480 --> 01:05:23,560 Like even the first weapon in the game is useful and cool. 1277 01:05:23,640 --> 01:05:26,040 I mean the axe. When you used it on the axe, you 1278 01:05:26,080 --> 01:05:29,680 would hold it in front of you and spin it like a rotator and 1279 01:05:29,680 --> 01:05:32,440 just gnaw people down. Like it was gnarly. 1280 01:05:32,600 --> 01:05:35,880 And like I said, the the the ribbon thing, the the BFG of the 1281 01:05:35,880 --> 01:05:40,560 game shot a black hole. The the spike weapon the the 1282 01:05:40,560 --> 01:05:43,360 Star of Torment would throw its spikes out and then the ones 1283 01:05:43,360 --> 01:05:45,760 that didn't hit an enemy would bounce and like. 1284 01:05:45,880 --> 01:05:48,640 Yeah, they would just home and change red directions. 1285 01:05:48,640 --> 01:05:50,640 It was really cool. It was a really, really neat, 1286 01:05:50,640 --> 01:05:53,680 neat weapon. And then the planets like. 1287 01:05:53,760 --> 01:05:56,240 That turned into, oh, that that's actually one of the most 1288 01:05:56,240 --> 01:05:59,160 interesting. That weapon changed it to 1289 01:05:59,160 --> 01:06:01,720 instead of plucking planets, it would pluck out stars. 1290 01:06:02,360 --> 01:06:04,920 But that also, yeah, stars and supernovas. 1291 01:06:05,240 --> 01:06:08,560 But that also meant if you tried to use it against the fifth boss 1292 01:06:08,560 --> 01:06:12,160 in the game, the solar St. he could actually repel that 1293 01:06:12,160 --> 01:06:14,720 attack. Not the planet based one, but if 1294 01:06:14,720 --> 01:06:20,560 you used the soul based one it would repel and shoot that star 1295 01:06:20,560 --> 01:06:23,560 back at you because he is a sun based monster. 1296 01:06:23,680 --> 01:06:27,320 Yeah, that's that's a brilliant bit of a game programming. 1297 01:06:27,440 --> 01:06:30,360 Yeah, I just, I, I really like that because when it happened to 1298 01:06:30,360 --> 01:06:32,560 me, I was like, what the fuck? And then I thought about for a 1299 01:06:32,560 --> 01:06:35,840 moment, I'm like, Oh yeah, I just tried to kill the sun with 1300 01:06:35,840 --> 01:06:37,400 a sun. My bad. 1301 01:06:39,720 --> 01:06:43,400 I had the best experience in this game, followed by my worst 1302 01:06:43,400 --> 01:06:46,800 experience in this game within succession of one another being 1303 01:06:46,800 --> 01:06:51,400 episode 6 and 7:00, so I really like the Arcane Expanse. 1304 01:06:52,040 --> 01:06:54,360 Yeah, the architecture in that is so cool. 1305 01:06:54,360 --> 01:06:59,320 It uses colored lights and like stained glass and all that and 1306 01:06:59,320 --> 01:07:01,720 it looks really beautiful. Yeah, all the stained glass and 1307 01:07:01,720 --> 01:07:04,280 all the purple and blue and red lighting everywhere was really, 1308 01:07:04,280 --> 01:07:07,440 really neat. I I very, very much enjoyed the 1309 01:07:07,560 --> 01:07:11,800 the whole layout of that level. And then I did not like the 1310 01:07:11,800 --> 01:07:14,280 void. I thought it was a cool concept, 1311 01:07:14,320 --> 01:07:17,080 but I got turned around so hard in there a few times. 1312 01:07:17,080 --> 01:07:20,520 Like fucking A. Yeah, I felt like the Void kind 1313 01:07:20,520 --> 01:07:23,160 of overstayed its welcome a little bit like it. 1314 01:07:23,360 --> 01:07:26,880 And even then, like I never felt like the combat in the Void was 1315 01:07:27,720 --> 01:07:31,400 that much of a challenge. I just felt like it was the game 1316 01:07:31,960 --> 01:07:35,480 giving me something to do so I could get to the next level, you 1317 01:07:35,480 --> 01:07:36,600 know what I mean? Yeah. 1318 01:07:36,600 --> 01:07:38,640 And it just felt like, yeah, it dragged on. 1319 01:07:38,720 --> 01:07:40,760 I was just like, all right, I am ready to. 1320 01:07:40,920 --> 01:07:43,680 And luckily after that, you know, it was the final boss, but 1321 01:07:43,680 --> 01:07:45,880 it was it was getting to the point where I was just starting 1322 01:07:45,880 --> 01:07:50,360 to get weathered, I guess on it. But I, I, I really like I said, 1323 01:07:50,360 --> 01:07:52,240 I really enjoyed the arcane expanse. 1324 01:07:52,240 --> 01:07:53,760 I liked the domain of the Sentinels. 1325 01:07:53,760 --> 01:07:58,320 The sacred path was cool. Also like the sacred path also 1326 01:07:58,400 --> 01:08:02,920 brought up one of the quiet like type matchup things in the game 1327 01:08:03,160 --> 01:08:05,520 where it doesn't tell you that type matchups exist. 1328 01:08:05,520 --> 01:08:11,880 But if you use blue the Azure staff against the flame wraiths 1329 01:08:11,880 --> 01:08:15,840 there it actually does double damage because the Azure staff 1330 01:08:15,840 --> 01:08:18,479 is water based, so it extinguishes them. 1331 01:08:18,640 --> 01:08:20,680 Yeah, I would notice that sometimes that some weapons were 1332 01:08:20,680 --> 01:08:23,439 better against other enemies and I would try to take note of that 1333 01:08:23,560 --> 01:08:25,960 for future Yeah, not wasting mana. 1334 01:08:26,120 --> 01:08:28,960 Most of it was pretty subtle because I really did feel like I 1335 01:08:28,960 --> 01:08:33,000 didn't run out of mana that much in the game in the main quest 1336 01:08:33,000 --> 01:08:36,520 anyway. Now Mick, while you were in your 1337 01:08:36,520 --> 01:08:38,880 hour, did you have a favorite weapon that you used between the 1338 01:08:38,880 --> 01:08:42,200 two? No, they both kind of felt the 1339 01:08:42,200 --> 01:08:43,920 same to me. When was a distance weapon? 1340 01:08:43,920 --> 01:08:47,439 Was a close weapon, mostly just kept to the distance weapon 1341 01:08:47,439 --> 01:08:51,920 because I was trying to not die. Did you never get the sword? 1342 01:08:52,160 --> 01:08:57,640 No, my, I, I only, I only made it to just after getting the 1343 01:08:57,840 --> 01:09:03,680 wand or the staff and I was trying to use it like a gun and 1344 01:09:03,680 --> 01:09:07,760 every now and then I would pop the soul thingy and Nah, I still 1345 01:09:07,760 --> 01:09:10,240 couldn't, still couldn't get past a certain point. 1346 01:09:10,399 --> 01:09:15,279 Now, Willie, you will appreciate this, the moment of just 1347 01:09:15,279 --> 01:09:18,840 realization when I was going against those enemies that shot 1348 01:09:18,840 --> 01:09:22,560 the the blue strike at you and I swung that sword and hit that 1349 01:09:22,560 --> 01:09:25,000 blue strike coming at you with the green one that you throw 1350 01:09:25,000 --> 01:09:27,040 out. And it went, it made it go away. 1351 01:09:27,040 --> 01:09:29,520 I went, oh, that is fucking brilliant. 1352 01:09:29,720 --> 01:09:32,840 And I just, dude, that was my weapon for like until I found 1353 01:09:32,840 --> 01:09:34,960 the Star of Torment. That sword was my boy. 1354 01:09:35,200 --> 01:09:36,520 So you're a Green Man? A guy? 1355 01:09:36,520 --> 01:09:38,399 Yes, I get you. Very much a Green Man. 1356 01:09:38,399 --> 01:09:40,479 A man. I love it, I love it. 1357 01:09:40,479 --> 01:09:43,279 I do think the Star of Torment and the Sword were both really 1358 01:09:43,279 --> 01:09:46,399 awesome. I felt like I used the Asia 1359 01:09:46,399 --> 01:09:49,160 staff way more than you would expect just because I thought it 1360 01:09:49,160 --> 01:09:52,399 was like super useful against floating enemies in general. 1361 01:09:52,520 --> 01:09:54,840 Would you say that that was your your favorite weapon in the 1362 01:09:54,840 --> 01:09:58,160 game? No, I would say my my favorite 1363 01:09:58,160 --> 01:10:00,560 was still probably the start of four minutes. 1364 01:10:00,640 --> 01:10:02,040 We're we're we're in agreement there. 1365 01:10:02,040 --> 01:10:03,600 That weapon's just bad ass. Yeah. 1366 01:10:03,840 --> 01:10:05,200 It's amazing. But it's the same thing. 1367 01:10:05,200 --> 01:10:06,960 We're like when we eventually get around to one of the 1368 01:10:06,960 --> 01:10:08,680 painkillers, I'm sure me and you were going to be like that 1369 01:10:08,680 --> 01:10:10,560 fucking nail gun or whatever it is. 1370 01:10:10,560 --> 01:10:13,480 Fuck, it's sweet. Yeah, dude, dude, sticking dudes 1371 01:10:13,480 --> 01:10:15,720 to a wall is really fucking. Fun. 1372 01:10:17,360 --> 01:10:20,440 But like then again, like I didn't use the axe that much in 1373 01:10:20,480 --> 01:10:23,880 the base game, but I did play some of the DLC because actually 1374 01:10:23,880 --> 01:10:26,560 Nate bought me the DLC several weeks ago. 1375 01:10:27,000 --> 01:10:31,320 And so I did play the first 3 levels of the DLC and holy shit. 1376 01:10:31,320 --> 01:10:34,120 So The thing is, the DLC is a prequel to the game. 1377 01:10:34,240 --> 01:10:38,120 So you do not have the axe of the champion because you aren't 1378 01:10:38,120 --> 01:10:40,080 the champion of the Black Labyrinth yet. 1379 01:10:40,560 --> 01:10:43,760 You have to actually earn that. So the weapon you have instead 1380 01:10:43,760 --> 01:10:48,120 of the axe is called the Gauntlets of the Platinum Star. 1381 01:10:48,640 --> 01:10:52,520 And so people that know a lot of shit are probably thinking 1382 01:10:52,800 --> 01:10:55,640 Platinum Star. That is a meaningful term, isn't 1383 01:10:55,640 --> 01:10:57,360 it? And yeah, it is. 1384 01:10:57,560 --> 01:11:00,360 It is a reference to Jojo's Bizarre Adventure. 1385 01:11:00,480 --> 01:11:04,040 You literally have the ability to if you use your soul power on 1386 01:11:04,040 --> 01:11:06,280 it. Do the starplatin of a tactic 1387 01:11:06,280 --> 01:11:09,400 goes like. Nice. 1388 01:11:09,960 --> 01:11:13,000 I'm not gonna lie, my brain went Fist of the North Star, but. 1389 01:11:13,360 --> 01:11:18,200 It's the The Stand attacks in Jojo's Bizarre Adventure are 1390 01:11:18,200 --> 01:11:22,800 inspired by the Fist of the North Star attack, so yes, yeah. 1391 01:11:22,800 --> 01:11:25,040 OK, so we're just talking anime lineage then here. 1392 01:11:25,480 --> 01:11:27,160 Yep, exactly. I gotcha. 1393 01:11:27,600 --> 01:11:29,760 Well, that's cool. Yeah, I did not. 1394 01:11:29,760 --> 01:11:32,720 I only had the base game so I just played the the base game of 1395 01:11:32,720 --> 01:11:35,360 it but. Because I did not finish Black 1396 01:11:35,360 --> 01:11:38,520 Labyrinth, but I did enjoy it a lot and I'm very grateful for 1397 01:11:38,520 --> 01:11:41,440 Make Forgetting for me and I will finish it in the future 1398 01:11:41,440 --> 01:11:46,160 because it's super fucking fun. The the way the level design 1399 01:11:46,160 --> 01:11:48,880 works, that's really different too, because it's very much more 1400 01:11:48,880 --> 01:11:54,680 like, it feels more like modern, like Doom two wads where it's 1401 01:11:54,880 --> 01:11:58,360 orchestrating like like there's a world and there's a setting 1402 01:11:58,560 --> 01:12:02,760 like there is in, you know, the base game, but it's all about 1403 01:12:02,760 --> 01:12:05,280 getting you to the next big combat arena. 1404 01:12:05,640 --> 01:12:09,240 I can dig it man. Is there? 1405 01:12:09,400 --> 01:12:10,720 Is there anything else we wanted to touch on? 1406 01:12:11,600 --> 01:12:14,760 Andrew Hulschulz Music. The music did slap. 1407 01:12:15,520 --> 01:12:18,280 Did you also notice that Andrew Halshalt played the final boss? 1408 01:12:18,280 --> 01:12:20,800 Like even when you got to the final boss, did you hear that 1409 01:12:20,800 --> 01:12:22,560 voice and think it sounded kind of familiar? 1410 01:12:23,200 --> 01:12:26,160 It's the exact same voice of Jacob, the cult leader from 1411 01:12:26,160 --> 01:12:29,920 Dusk. Oh no shit, I did find a hidden 1412 01:12:29,920 --> 01:12:31,920 message in a wall in one of the levels. 1413 01:12:32,360 --> 01:12:35,920 You, yes, yeah, you found that and I didn't I didn't find that 1414 01:12:35,920 --> 01:12:38,000 by the way. So like that was I was very 1415 01:12:38,000 --> 01:12:39,560 impressed by. That I just I was running along 1416 01:12:39,560 --> 01:12:42,280 and I just happened to look at this wall and it just said by 1417 01:12:42,280 --> 01:12:46,080 dusk it's only $20 on Steam. I was like, oh that's cool. 1418 01:12:46,240 --> 01:12:48,680 I can't tell you how many times I walked forward and backed up 1419 01:12:48,720 --> 01:12:51,640 because I have it on GOG, so I can't just hit my screenshot 1420 01:12:51,640 --> 01:12:54,000 button like I can on Steam games. 1421 01:12:54,000 --> 01:12:56,920 So I had to back up and then do it and then quickly hit Windows 1422 01:12:56,920 --> 01:13:01,480 Shift S and try to grab it so many times. 1423 01:13:01,480 --> 01:13:03,160 But I had to show you guys that that said that. 1424 01:13:03,400 --> 01:13:05,600 And I was like, yeah, we. Oh, it, it made me happy. 1425 01:13:05,600 --> 01:13:06,800 I'm glad you shared that with me. 1426 01:13:06,800 --> 01:13:08,280 It really did. Yeah, for sure. 1427 01:13:08,320 --> 01:13:09,360 Yeah, that. Was great. 1428 01:13:09,600 --> 01:13:13,200 Dude, it thumped. Yeah, like it also had that same 1429 01:13:13,200 --> 01:13:15,680 kind of like the same thing does Casper. 1430 01:13:15,680 --> 01:13:19,040 It has like the quiet parts and then the action version of the 1431 01:13:19,040 --> 01:13:21,200 music. I really liked that. 1432 01:13:21,880 --> 01:13:24,760 Did you ever find the evil difficulty setting in the game? 1433 01:13:25,160 --> 01:13:30,000 No. So in both the original game and 1434 01:13:30,000 --> 01:13:35,320 in the DLC, there's a way, much like Plague one, where if you 1435 01:13:35,320 --> 01:13:39,000 explore really carefully you can find a hidden difficulty that's 1436 01:13:39,000 --> 01:13:43,000 even harder than the hard mode. Oh no, I only found the easy, 1437 01:13:43,240 --> 01:13:46,800 normal and hard and I went easy. Yeah, that mean that's so you 1438 01:13:46,920 --> 01:13:49,120 you did finish the game, but you finished it on easy. 1439 01:13:49,120 --> 01:13:51,200 Yes, I still find that respectable. 1440 01:13:51,200 --> 01:13:54,680 I'm glad you did finish it. I I beat it on hard and this 1441 01:13:54,680 --> 01:13:57,760 theater weird thing is I really did think that of all the boomer 1442 01:13:57,760 --> 01:14:01,600 shooters we played for this game podcast, I think this is the 1443 01:14:01,600 --> 01:14:04,480 easiest one. Like I genuinely think that this 1444 01:14:04,480 --> 01:14:09,440 game on hard mode is easier than Quake one was on hard. 1445 01:14:09,440 --> 01:14:13,240 And I think that that is just your experience with this genre, 1446 01:14:13,240 --> 01:14:16,080 because this game kicked to both mine and mixed ass. 1447 01:14:16,480 --> 01:14:19,080 I found Doomaternal to be easier. 1448 01:14:19,960 --> 01:14:22,920 My fair enough. I mean, I think it's also maybe 1449 01:14:23,160 --> 01:14:26,040 things I learned about the approach of things like moving 1450 01:14:26,040 --> 01:14:29,200 backwards in a circle strafe kind of that sort of thing. 1451 01:14:30,480 --> 01:14:34,280 I would like to say that the official wiki of the game is on 1452 01:14:34,280 --> 01:14:38,160 a medieval something dot GG and it's really funny. 1453 01:14:38,240 --> 01:14:41,560 Like the people that do the wiki are hilarious. 1454 01:14:42,880 --> 01:14:45,680 Like I don't have any examples of it but I remember looking it 1455 01:14:45,680 --> 01:14:48,320 up and thinking it was fucking hysterical. 1456 01:14:48,440 --> 01:14:51,320 Yeah, that's actually what I'm on right now looking when I was 1457 01:14:51,320 --> 01:14:55,680 getting the episode names is the wiki dot GG for a medieval or or 1458 01:14:55,680 --> 01:14:58,840 Amy Devil, whatever you want. To call it I, I love it. 1459 01:14:58,840 --> 01:15:01,240 It looks like it says am I devil doesn't. 1460 01:15:01,240 --> 01:15:03,960 It am I devil? Am I devil? 1461 01:15:04,320 --> 01:15:08,240 Yes I am. But like if you look. 1462 01:15:08,240 --> 01:15:09,640 That would have been a great intro too. 1463 01:15:10,840 --> 01:15:14,120 Shit fuck, we fucked her. But like if you look up the the 1464 01:15:14,120 --> 01:15:18,360 like the, the the alpha battle mage for instance, is a monster 1465 01:15:18,360 --> 01:15:22,520 in the game and at one point the text in that wiki describes the 1466 01:15:22,520 --> 01:15:26,360 character as instead like the Sigma fight sorcerer. 1467 01:15:27,520 --> 01:15:33,160 Like just funny shit like that. I don't know, I guess that's 1468 01:15:33,240 --> 01:15:35,640 kind of it. That's mostly what I got. 1469 01:15:35,640 --> 01:15:39,480 I am glad you had a good time, but that I'm sorry that Mick 1470 01:15:39,480 --> 01:15:42,280 didn't. Oh yeah, we can't win them all. 1471 01:15:42,720 --> 01:15:45,320 I I know I have on good authority that there is an 1472 01:15:45,320 --> 01:15:48,080 upcoming game eventually that none of us are going to like, so 1473 01:15:48,080 --> 01:15:51,600 there is that. Yeah, I mean, fucking sometimes 1474 01:15:51,600 --> 01:15:54,200 that's just hell ends up. Sometimes you just wind up with 1475 01:15:54,200 --> 01:15:56,920 some more sleeping. Leaping Larry Poffo. 1476 01:15:58,560 --> 01:16:02,400 The Genius, the. Genius, the poet, fun fact, 1477 01:16:02,560 --> 01:16:06,280 could also blow himself, as he would prove to people in the 1478 01:16:06,280 --> 01:16:08,360 locker room who said no, you can't, apparently. 1479 01:16:08,400 --> 01:16:09,960 That's cool. I mean, he could blow me too, 1480 01:16:09,960 --> 01:16:12,440 but no one's calling me a fucking prophet. 1481 01:16:13,600 --> 01:16:16,520 All right, let's do some let's do some ratings and then we'll, 1482 01:16:16,520 --> 01:16:18,880 we'll get into the ending spiels and we'll we'll get on out of 1483 01:16:18,880 --> 01:16:20,680 here. Mick, let's start with you. 1484 01:16:21,320 --> 01:16:23,000 I feel like you have the shortest answer for this. 1485 01:16:23,200 --> 01:16:26,960 I'm, I'm, I'm not going to slam this game or, or give it a low 1486 01:16:26,960 --> 01:16:28,880 rating. I'm just going to I, I, I'm 1487 01:16:28,880 --> 01:16:34,360 just, I'm just going to abstain from rating this game because I 1488 01:16:34,360 --> 01:16:39,960 played it for an hour and probably could have eventually 1489 01:16:39,960 --> 01:16:42,960 figured it out, but just didn't have the time to. 1490 01:16:43,080 --> 01:16:49,520 So we'll, we'll just, we'll give it participation points for 1491 01:16:49,520 --> 01:16:51,000 being pretty. We'll give it that. 1492 01:16:51,000 --> 01:16:54,560 Yeah, I figured you'd give it an A, but I figured I'd ask anyway. 1493 01:16:54,920 --> 01:16:57,640 No, I appreciate it. Thanks for giving me the. 1494 01:16:57,840 --> 01:17:00,400 Option to give it a. One, but I don't want to 1495 01:17:00,400 --> 01:17:02,160 disrespect the game like that, yeah. 1496 01:17:02,680 --> 01:17:06,800 Yeah, I do think DNR is the most respectable answer you could 1497 01:17:06,800 --> 01:17:08,200 have given, so thank you for that. 1498 01:17:08,200 --> 01:17:11,600 Dungeons and Roses. DNF and R. 1499 01:17:13,560 --> 01:17:18,320 So I think I I really enjoyed the aesthetic of this game, the 1500 01:17:18,320 --> 01:17:20,640 graphical style, we didn't even touch on it, but there are 1501 01:17:20,640 --> 01:17:22,760 different cheats that change the color palettes to different 1502 01:17:22,760 --> 01:17:26,000 computer eras, which was really, really interesting. 1503 01:17:26,000 --> 01:17:29,680 There was one that turned up all of the post processing, which 1504 01:17:29,680 --> 01:17:33,560 was also very interesting. But the reflections of light 1505 01:17:33,560 --> 01:17:36,920 made it absolutely impossible to play that way in that mode. 1506 01:17:37,400 --> 01:17:39,920 But yeah, so those were cool. But the the graphics themselves 1507 01:17:39,920 --> 01:17:42,640 were just absolutely phenomenal for what they were going for. 1508 01:17:42,640 --> 01:17:45,760 They nailed their aesthetic. The gameplay was fun. 1509 01:17:46,040 --> 01:17:49,480 I do think that again, whoever made the forges is an evil, evil 1510 01:17:49,480 --> 01:17:54,040 person and whoever made the void really liked their idea. 1511 01:17:54,040 --> 01:17:55,720 So they wanted to make it as long as possible. 1512 01:17:55,720 --> 01:17:58,080 But other than that, I really, really like this game a lot. 1513 01:17:58,400 --> 01:18:03,480 I'm gonna give this a solid. I'll give it 8 maids out of 10 1514 01:18:03,480 --> 01:18:06,680 evils. Oh, I love that Dan housing. 1515 01:18:06,680 --> 01:18:08,600 That was a really good Dan housing. 1516 01:18:08,800 --> 01:18:10,400 You didn't house the shit out of us. 1517 01:18:10,520 --> 01:18:12,200 House the shit out of it. What about you, Willy? 1518 01:18:12,560 --> 01:18:15,520 It's rating, housing rating. Housing he's. 1519 01:18:16,160 --> 01:18:20,160 Rating housing. You know what, I genuinely agree 1520 01:18:20,160 --> 01:18:23,040 with that. I think that the game had a lot 1521 01:18:23,040 --> 01:18:26,920 of really cool ideas that explored in a shallow way, but 1522 01:18:26,920 --> 01:18:30,040 in a really interesting way. It took us to a lot of really 1523 01:18:30,040 --> 01:18:33,560 cool places, and I'm really happy I went to those places. 1524 01:18:34,960 --> 01:18:40,480 I think people consider this game and Dusk and Ultra Kill to 1525 01:18:40,480 --> 01:18:45,720 be kind of the Holy Trinity of new Blood Games. 1526 01:18:46,240 --> 01:18:49,800 I would say I don't think this one holds up to the other two, 1527 01:18:50,080 --> 01:18:53,320 but holy shit, I'm happy I played it and I'm happy I played 1528 01:18:53,320 --> 01:18:57,640 it with you guys. I think I've got to give this 18 1529 01:18:57,640 --> 01:19:00,760 purple Bannas out of 10 Void Splitters. 1530 01:19:00,760 --> 01:19:03,240 Oh. Yeah, got some respectable 1531 01:19:03,240 --> 01:19:05,960 numbers for it then, man, real quickly about one more thing 1532 01:19:05,960 --> 01:19:08,560 about Dan Hausen. I I tweeted him about this 1533 01:19:08,560 --> 01:19:10,520 because it just intrigued me, the thought of it. 1534 01:19:10,520 --> 01:19:12,600 I was like, Dan Hausen, once he's done with his wrestling 1535 01:19:12,600 --> 01:19:16,280 career, should take over for Singuli or something like that. 1536 01:19:16,400 --> 01:19:19,760 Oh yeah, call it Dan Hausen's film Hausen. 1537 01:19:20,240 --> 01:19:22,680 Film Hausen. I love that yes, like. 1538 01:19:22,760 --> 01:19:25,320 Dude, he could just show old old movies and stuff and then just 1539 01:19:25,320 --> 01:19:27,280 do his shtick and it would be fantastic. 1540 01:19:28,120 --> 01:19:32,040 When he goes home, does he go home to his Dan house? 1541 01:19:32,240 --> 01:19:33,280 Yes. And then he goes inside. 1542 01:19:33,280 --> 01:19:34,880 So he's Dan Hausen. Yeah. 1543 01:19:35,160 --> 01:19:37,320 He's got to pet his dog, who lives in the dog house and. 1544 01:19:37,840 --> 01:19:40,640 And, and if he's not careful, he could also end up in the dog 1545 01:19:40,640 --> 01:19:41,920 house and. That's true. 1546 01:19:42,120 --> 01:19:44,040 This is very true, very, very true. 1547 01:19:44,560 --> 01:19:47,240 Very evil. Very evil, Yes, yes. 1548 01:19:48,080 --> 01:19:53,800 So I guess that just leaves what we're playing next and it is 1549 01:19:53,880 --> 01:19:56,640 finally time. It feel like it feel like it won 1550 01:19:56,840 --> 01:20:02,320 last year because it did. We are playing a little game 1551 01:20:02,480 --> 01:20:07,560 called Metal Gear Solid, Two Sons of Liberty, the game that 1552 01:20:07,560 --> 01:20:11,240 made people go. Did Hideo Kojima see into the 1553 01:20:11,240 --> 01:20:13,720 future when he made this game? What in the fuck? 1554 01:20:13,760 --> 01:20:16,000 So I look forward to revisiting it and seeing. 1555 01:20:16,600 --> 01:20:18,440 How it holds up now, the whole story of it. 1556 01:20:18,520 --> 01:20:22,040 PS2 era came out for PS2 originally, right? 1557 01:20:22,280 --> 01:20:24,400 Originally, yes. Yep, Yep. 1558 01:20:24,760 --> 01:20:28,760 It was the first one for the PlayStation 2, and it was also 1559 01:20:28,760 --> 01:20:30,680 one that was very famous for its. 1560 01:20:32,200 --> 01:20:34,680 Bait and switch. It advanced on some of the, I 1561 01:20:34,680 --> 01:20:37,920 was gonna say just advanced on some of the shit that Psycho 1562 01:20:37,920 --> 01:20:42,320 Manis did in the first solid. And I I played in the beat 1 1563 01:20:42,320 --> 01:20:44,760 back in the day and I never played any other Metal Gear 1564 01:20:44,760 --> 01:20:47,600 after that. So this is literally going to be 1565 01:20:47,600 --> 01:20:52,160 me picking up where I left off as a young adult in my 20s. 1566 01:20:52,440 --> 01:20:53,960 That's fantastic. Sweet. 1567 01:20:54,160 --> 01:20:56,000 Let's go. One thing that I want to mention 1568 01:20:56,000 --> 01:20:58,880 now just because in case I forget next time, a little 1569 01:20:58,880 --> 01:21:01,880 attention to detail like Kajima, like his level of detail when 1570 01:21:01,880 --> 01:21:05,080 you are insert character here, I don't want to give it away. 1571 01:21:06,240 --> 01:21:09,640 And when your snake when you run up the stairs, you step on each 1572 01:21:09,640 --> 01:21:14,200 stair individually, whereas go walk up a staircase in Skyrim 1573 01:21:14,200 --> 01:21:15,840 and watch how it happens under your feet. 1574 01:21:16,760 --> 01:21:18,680 You're technically walking up a ramp that looks. 1575 01:21:18,720 --> 01:21:19,880 Like stairs? Yeah. 1576 01:21:20,240 --> 01:21:23,560 Whereas in this one it's and you can hear it. 1577 01:21:24,120 --> 01:21:26,520 Oh, it's just it's so good. I look forward to I I have the 1578 01:21:26,520 --> 01:21:29,120 GOG version so I I got y'all cool. 1579 01:21:30,880 --> 01:21:34,440 Very nice. Yeah, I, we may have a guest. 1580 01:21:34,960 --> 01:21:37,040 The person that was going to be on this episode, I know has been 1581 01:21:37,040 --> 01:21:40,240 very, very busy lately. So I will get a hold of them and 1582 01:21:40,240 --> 01:21:42,480 see if they're still on. I don't I won't announce it just 1583 01:21:42,480 --> 01:21:45,320 in case they're not able to do it, but we might have a guest 1584 01:21:45,360 --> 01:21:48,720 for this one. And yeah, that just leaves the 1585 01:21:49,040 --> 01:21:50,520 the house cleaning. So let me. 1586 01:21:50,840 --> 01:21:53,080 The housing cleaning. The housing cleaning. 1587 01:21:53,920 --> 01:21:56,680 Clean housing. I did change my name on Twitter 1588 01:21:56,680 --> 01:22:00,400 to Steam Machine Dalton Housing. I think it is a super yeah. 1589 01:22:00,400 --> 01:22:01,720 Steam Machine. Dalton Housing, Yeah. 1590 01:22:01,920 --> 01:22:04,960 Nice. All right, before I do this, 1591 01:22:04,960 --> 01:22:10,560 Mick, plug yourself. Please watch my MSI Claw A8 1592 01:22:10,560 --> 01:22:13,400 review on YouTube at Team Retrogue. 1593 01:22:13,800 --> 01:22:18,320 It just came out a few hours ago and it's doing horribly because 1594 01:22:18,320 --> 01:22:23,920 it is way too expensive. But the video was a lot of work 1595 01:22:23,920 --> 01:22:25,640 and a lot of blood, sweat and tears. 1596 01:22:25,640 --> 01:22:29,960 So even if you have 0 interest in the topic and 0 interest in 1597 01:22:29,960 --> 01:22:34,520 buying it, please tune in just to just to hear my thoughts. 1598 01:22:35,080 --> 01:22:37,800 I watch all of your videos my good Sir, just so you know well. 1599 01:22:38,000 --> 01:22:39,280 Thank you. You're welcome. 1600 01:22:39,400 --> 01:22:43,640 See, the way I see this particular video is I don't 1601 01:22:43,640 --> 01:22:47,680 expect very many people to buy it just because of how expensive 1602 01:22:47,680 --> 01:22:52,920 it is and where things are as a whole with with Ramageddon and 1603 01:22:52,920 --> 01:22:58,600 all that. So my goal was to offer and 1604 01:22:58,600 --> 01:23:02,280 compare it to hand holds that were more affordable and did 1605 01:23:02,280 --> 01:23:07,000 similar things. So it it, it is kind of a 1606 01:23:07,000 --> 01:23:11,600 shopping guide, but it also is, you know, you get to see some, 1607 01:23:11,800 --> 01:23:14,640 you know, footage and gameplay of a, of a device that you may 1608 01:23:14,640 --> 01:23:17,000 never lay hands on. Even I don't get to keep it. 1609 01:23:17,000 --> 01:23:19,080 I have to send it back to the company which it's back in its 1610 01:23:19,080 --> 01:23:22,160 box and and ready to go. Yeah, I just, in my head, I 1611 01:23:22,160 --> 01:23:25,520 can't justify paying that price for a handheld when you could 1612 01:23:25,520 --> 01:23:27,360 probably get a decent laptop for that, you know? 1613 01:23:27,360 --> 01:23:29,080 That's exactly what I said in the video. 1614 01:23:29,080 --> 01:23:31,760 Yeah, that's that's exactly what I said. 1615 01:23:31,760 --> 01:23:34,560 Like like for the for the price that like you literally would 1616 01:23:34,560 --> 01:23:38,320 have to want to use that as your only PC. 1617 01:23:38,440 --> 01:23:41,120 Yeah, your gaming device. Yeah, right. 1618 01:23:41,160 --> 01:23:43,000 Exactly. Well, not not just a gaming 1619 01:23:43,000 --> 01:23:45,680 device, but like probably a daily driver for your actual. 1620 01:23:45,680 --> 01:23:47,400 Right. Which means you're now you're 1621 01:23:47,400 --> 01:23:49,560 plugging it into a monitor. Now you're getting a keyboard 1622 01:23:49,560 --> 01:23:51,560 and mouse because you're basically using it as a desktop 1623 01:23:52,240 --> 01:23:56,120 that you can take up take with you to play video games on. 1624 01:23:56,320 --> 01:24:00,440 At which point it becomes not a handheld essentially. 1625 01:24:00,800 --> 01:24:04,720 But at that point, buy a laptop. But I do know people that use 1626 01:24:05,080 --> 01:24:07,720 Windows laptops exactly like that. 1627 01:24:08,120 --> 01:24:12,280 They use it as as a gaming device and then when they need 1628 01:24:12,280 --> 01:24:15,720 to do productivity, they plug it into a monitor with a keyboard 1629 01:24:16,200 --> 01:24:17,720 and they're perfectly happy with that. 1630 01:24:17,840 --> 01:24:22,280 I've got some some reaction like that out of the, you know, 1631 01:24:22,520 --> 01:24:26,240 device you sent me, although it's more of me tapping into my 1632 01:24:26,240 --> 01:24:28,280 computer so. Yeah. 1633 01:24:28,480 --> 01:24:30,800 And even then that's even that's an Android device you're doing, 1634 01:24:30,800 --> 01:24:32,760 you're just doing a remote connection to that with it. 1635 01:24:32,960 --> 01:24:35,520 Yeah, I'm. Just basically SSH ING into my 1636 01:24:35,520 --> 01:24:37,680 computer, yeah? All right, yeah, Go check out 1637 01:24:37,680 --> 01:24:40,160 Team Retro. Go more on YouTube, man, if you 1638 01:24:40,160 --> 01:24:42,680 would do us a favor and leave us a review over on iTunes or 1639 01:24:42,680 --> 01:24:45,000 Spotify, it would really help us out in the algorithm. 1640 01:24:45,000 --> 01:24:47,560 It means a lot to me. The other day, I don't know if 1641 01:24:47,560 --> 01:24:49,560 it was just my computer. If anybody wants to check this 1642 01:24:49,560 --> 01:24:52,040 and let me know if it's any different for you, I went to go 1643 01:24:52,040 --> 01:24:54,480 look at our reviews on iTunes to see if there had been any new 1644 01:24:54,480 --> 01:24:56,880 ones. And there used to be a bunch of 1645 01:24:56,880 --> 01:24:59,200 text reviews. There is now just one. 1646 01:24:59,640 --> 01:25:04,280 And I'm not quite sure why. So we, I mean, the number of 1647 01:25:04,280 --> 01:25:07,520 reviews is still, you know, still there, but all the text 1648 01:25:07,600 --> 01:25:09,400 parts are gone. It's just very, very strange. 1649 01:25:09,880 --> 01:25:12,200 But yeah. And then on Spotify, give us a 1650 01:25:12,200 --> 01:25:14,200 thumbs up or however the hell it is over on Spotify. 1651 01:25:14,200 --> 01:25:16,960 It means the world helps out, helps people find the show. 1652 01:25:17,640 --> 01:25:22,240 You want to join the discord? Bit dot LY slash TSMP discord. 1653 01:25:22,240 --> 01:25:24,960 All capital letters gets you in. You can join in on the 1654 01:25:24,960 --> 01:25:27,640 shenanigans, vote on the polls. There's going to be a new poll 1655 01:25:27,640 --> 01:25:30,680 going up because Metal Gear. Oh shit, I didn't realize that 1656 01:25:30,680 --> 01:25:32,480 until just now. OK, then we get to announce a 1657 01:25:32,480 --> 01:25:37,520 poll winner. So after after Metal Gear the 1658 01:25:37,520 --> 01:25:39,000 last winner. Are you ready for this, 1659 01:25:39,000 --> 01:25:40,160 Michelof? No. 1660 01:25:40,160 --> 01:25:42,280 Are you ready? No, we're going to be hitting 1661 01:25:42,280 --> 01:25:47,000 Dark Souls Remastered for the next for the next pick for the 1662 01:25:47,280 --> 01:25:50,400 the pole. But for the the the pole going 1663 01:25:50,400 --> 01:25:53,560 now, because I always set it up where we got a buffer just in 1664 01:25:53,560 --> 01:25:54,960 case. There have been a couple just in 1665 01:25:54,960 --> 01:25:58,600 case situations, but the pole winner overwhelmingly a game 1666 01:25:58,600 --> 01:26:02,840 that was just removed from Steam and then put back on Boys a cozy 1667 01:26:02,840 --> 01:26:05,800 game won the pole. Starsand Island. 1668 01:26:05,880 --> 01:26:07,240 Wait, what was that game removed? 1669 01:26:07,680 --> 01:26:11,040 Oh. So one of the, they did like an 1670 01:26:11,040 --> 01:26:14,480 update and there was mini, there was a mini game that had a 1671 01:26:14,480 --> 01:26:19,280 mechanic in it that was basically like they were using 1672 01:26:19,280 --> 01:26:23,760 that as a how do I put this? Basically it was too close to 1673 01:26:23,760 --> 01:26:26,520 something else and they had to take it out and change it and 1674 01:26:26,520 --> 01:26:29,080 put it back in 'cause they were like when we were making this 1675 01:26:29,080 --> 01:26:31,640 mini game we were using. I don't remember what game it 1676 01:26:31,640 --> 01:26:36,680 was as an inspiration, but we didn't change it enough on 1677 01:26:36,880 --> 01:26:40,000 release and that's our bad for forgetting to do that basically. 1678 01:26:40,000 --> 01:26:42,480 So they immediately made a build. 1679 01:26:42,520 --> 01:26:44,320 Without that, they got a hit. They got hit with like a 1680 01:26:44,320 --> 01:26:46,120 copyright thing. Yeah, pretty much. 1681 01:26:46,480 --> 01:26:49,480 And they immediately pull it. Steam pulled it off. 1682 01:26:49,480 --> 01:26:52,920 They immediately put out a build without it and Steam approved it 1683 01:26:52,920 --> 01:26:55,920 and they're back up now so. OK, so I was going to say I'm 1684 01:26:55,920 --> 01:26:57,920 downloading, you know, to a handheld as we speak. 1685 01:26:58,080 --> 01:27:01,440 So I was surprised to hear that it had temporarily gone down or 1686 01:27:01,440 --> 01:27:02,760 been taken down. Yeah. 1687 01:27:02,760 --> 01:27:08,040 So that that beat out Jade Empire X4 Foundations, Far Cry 1688 01:27:08,040 --> 01:27:13,920 5, and the Forest Man. So that is literally our discord 1689 01:27:13,920 --> 01:27:16,640 peeps being nice to us. Yes, seriously. 1690 01:27:16,800 --> 01:27:21,840 I mean, they're throwing us Dark Souls before they throw us into 1691 01:27:21,840 --> 01:27:25,040 a peaceful, cozy game, so how nice are they really being? 1692 01:27:25,200 --> 01:27:26,560 I mean, I think that's not being very. 1693 01:27:26,640 --> 01:27:29,960 Nice, yeah I would love to play Dark Souls for the podcast. 1694 01:27:30,120 --> 01:27:33,320 I think a cozy game after Dark Souls will be much welcomed, 1695 01:27:33,320 --> 01:27:36,280 especially since they could have thrown us into X4, which is 1696 01:27:36,280 --> 01:27:39,480 like, OK, welcome to one of the most complex games that I know 1697 01:27:39,480 --> 01:27:41,040 of.
