She actually. 83 00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:47,760 But now apart from that, that's really all I've been doing. 84 00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:49,960 Those are the two big things in my life. 85 00:04:50,280 --> 00:04:52,320 So man, those are good things.

Things have not been too bad 88 00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:59,680 lately. You know, just been parsing 89 00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:01,640 through things that have happened over the last few 90 00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:04,400 months and finally kind of coming to terms with some of 91 00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:07,960 those been playing some games, watching some stuff. 92 00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:10,840 I what have I been playing? Let me pull up my steam real 93 00:05:10,840 --> 00:05:12,080 quick. Let me let me take a little 94 00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:12,840 look. See here. 95 00:05:14,280 --> 00:05:17,360 I have been playing Skyrim. Of course, I found a mod pack 96 00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:19,920 that I really enjoy. It's a it's a little harder than 97 00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:24,040 the normal way that I play, but I've been I've been I'm 98 00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:25,680 enjoying. It's like a new challenge for it 99 00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:28,040 at the game, you know, but it still has my legacy, the 100 00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:31,480 dragonborn. I still have my museum and and 101 00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:34,240 this mod pack that I'm using has AVR version. 102 00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:38,600 So I get to do my museum in VR whenever I decide to stop being 103 00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:41,320 lazy and hook my fucking VR up to my new PC. 104 00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:45,480 That feels I feel so upset that I probably never going to be 105 00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:48,360 able to do VR because I get severe motion sickness. 106 00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:50,720 So I also get very bad motion sick dude. 107 00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:53,200 So it's kind of like up in the air for me. 108 00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:54,720 What's going to make me sick and what's not. 109 00:05:54,840 --> 00:05:58,040 I do plan on buying a little Dramamine to just keep on my 110 00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:00,040 desk in case I need it for something. 111 00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:03,120 But I'm of the mind. Like when I played VRA lot of 112 00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:06,200 times it's like rhythm games so far like Beat Saber and 113 00:06:06,280 --> 00:06:08,120 Ragnarok. Those aren't too heavy in the 114 00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:10,240 thing. I did play some No Man's Sky and 115 00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:13,000 flew around the planet. Did not not barrel roll. 116 00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:14,680 I know better than the barrel roll. 117 00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:18,240 That's when side tangent, my buddy Dustin, I might have told 118 00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:20,000 this on the on the show for him. Tell it again. 119 00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:23,520 He got Ace Combat 7 when it came out for PS4 and he's super 120 00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:25,800 wanted to play the VR missions. So he had me come over with my 121 00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:28,720 VR thing and he had his flight stick set up and everything. 122 00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:31,800 And I said, bro, just be careful barrel rolling because it will 123 00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:33,960 make you nauseous. And that motherfucker just threw 124 00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:36,360 his plane into a fucking barrel roll spin. 125 00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:39,240 Just whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, no, I'm fine. 126 00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:42,000 I was like bro, I would be throwing chunks at the screen 127 00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:46,040 screen right now if that was me in that helmet because I 128 00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:49,600 remember on the place. Now granted the PlayStation VR 129 00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:53,760 much lower resolution so it's more likely to make you motion 130 00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:54,960 sick. Like basically the higher 131 00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:58,440 resolution it is the clearer it is, the more that it doesn't 132 00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:01,120 fuck with your whatever. I guess equilibrium or however 133 00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:06,520 that works, but there was a game that I had on PlayStation 4 for 134 00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:10,360 the VR. It was called ** blood Arena or 135 00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:11,880 something like that. And it was like an arena 136 00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:14,840 shooter, but everyone was in like little space vehicle type 137 00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:16,240 things. And I remember playing that and 138 00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:18,560 have a great time. And then I needed to right my 139 00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:21,360 ship. So I slightly barrel rolled to 140 00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:24,640 the left and about fucking died inside. 141 00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:28,920 Like just was like bro, immediate like hot flash, 142 00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:31,680 clammy, sweaty, had to had to take it off. 143 00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:35,200 I was immediately like Oh no fucked up thing growing up. 144 00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:38,680 Loved roller coasters. Still to this day love roller 145 00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:41,040 coasters. But I can get on one and when I 146 00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:43,760 get off of it I'm like whoa Jesus Christ. 147 00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:46,600 And I hate that because I love them so much. 148 00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:49,800 It has to be the adrenaline. I don't know, but it's it's 149 00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:50,920 rough. It's rough. 150 00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:56,000 I will say, last year when my family took a cruise and my 151 00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:59,160 brother and I were the only ones that were able to feel like the 152 00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:02,080 ship rocking. And it's one of those giant 153 00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:05,360 cruise ships. It's half stabilizer. 154 00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:08,640 So this thing is supposed to be incredibly smooth, but I'm 155 00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:11,640 feeling the Shiprock. But I knew this was going to be 156 00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:13,320 an issue. So I actually was wearing one of 157 00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:16,520 those Dramamine patches, you know, just stick of right behind 158 00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:18,120 your ear. It's just like a like the size 159 00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:20,360 of a nickel. And I was perfectly fine for the 160 00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:22,720 whole time. I think it was like four or five 161 00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:24,440 days. I was perfectly fine. 162 00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:27,240 Now, of course, I was still feeling the Shiprock, but I'd 163 00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:30,800 never felt nauseous. So maybe that's something to try 164 00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:34,280 in the future, you know, if I'm going to try one of those vRS or 165 00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:36,919 same with you, try a Dramamine patch. 166 00:08:36,919 --> 00:08:40,200 Yeah, that's not a bad idea because, well, I'm a little 167 00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:41,159 skinnier than the last time I went. 168 00:08:41,159 --> 00:08:43,720 But I know last time I went to a theme park, it was like really 169 00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:45,880 sucking that motherfucker ready to get some of those to click in 170 00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:48,400 where they needed to. And some of them just straight 171 00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:51,120 up I was. I felt like I was too tall, like 172 00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:54,880 my shoulders like were too fucking up in there and it 173 00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:57,120 wouldn't come down for. And I had to like, slouch my 174 00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:59,520 body to fit in there. And I'm like, when did this 175 00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:01,280 become no longer comfortable for me? 176 00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:04,800 Like, when did I become too big to ride a roller coaster? 177 00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:07,200 Not even fat, just like just too big in general. 178 00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:09,680 It's bullshit. Even like the fat guy seats, 179 00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:12,120 usually there was someone who was much bigger than me that was 180 00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:14,320 occupying those seats. They were just like, well, he'll 181 00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:15,720 be. Okay, how tall are you? 182 00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:19,160 You're 6/2 right. On a good day, I'm 62. 183 00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:21,520 I usually tell people six, 1 1/2, but yeah, about 6. 184 00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:24,760 Two, you're just you're just too tall. 185 00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:26,480 You're vertically fat. I'm. 186 00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:29,240 Vertically. At least the roller coasters 187 00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:31,640 over there are working in the news. 188 00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:34,960 In the past couple of days we've been, because we've probably got 189 00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:37,960 three major theme parks in my state, all of which I haven't 190 00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:39,520 been to since I was a small child. 191 00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:42,680 So I didn't ride the roller coasters per SE, because I was 192 00:09:42,680 --> 00:09:44,960 too young. But these motherfuckers have 193 00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:48,360 been breaking down with people still on them halfway through 194 00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:51,200 their cycles, and I can't imagine anything worse. 195 00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:54,480 Anything more scary? Are any of them like, do they 196 00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:57,360 stop upside down or is it not that kind of right? 197 00:09:57,440 --> 00:10:02,240 One of them is the like horizontal tilt whirl kind of 198 00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:05,400 thing where you're over water and it spins and it does 199 00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:08,960 rotations and then for the last rotation it goes all the way 200 00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:10,840 around. Oh, I can't. 201 00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:12,920 So yeah, one of them. Got too much spinning. 202 00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:16,080 Yeah, but to be on one of those and you're just like, say, 203 00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:19,240 suspended, and it just decides to aim you down or you're just 204 00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:21,080 staring at the ground until they can get you out. 205 00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:22,360 Yeah. Oh my God. 206 00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:26,800 I could never do one of those roller coasters where it's it 207 00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:31,080 goes forwards and backwards 2 times but on the last time it 208 00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:34,240 goes back it pauses for like 2 seconds. 209 00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:38,200 So it goes back, stops and then drops. 210 00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:41,880 And every time I look at him, just go, no, no, no, no, I'm not 211 00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:44,320 doing it. I don't know why you just give 212 00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:49,000 me a great idea of what? So the Tower of terror, you guys 213 00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:53,680 know what that is, right? OK, So yeah, Jeff is expressing 214 00:10:53,680 --> 00:10:55,200 terror on his face thinking about it. 215 00:10:55,680 --> 00:10:58,440 Yes, I am. So imagine you're on that ride, 216 00:10:58,440 --> 00:10:59,600 right? You get to the very top. 217 00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:02,040 You know how it goes? Like it just goes up, the door 218 00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:05,480 opens and they have programmed that the door opens and you are 219 00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:09,880 there just long enough for your brain to process how high you 220 00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:11,760 are and then they drop you, right? 221 00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:14,760 That's the whole shtick of it. Everyone knows they've 222 00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:18,880 everyone's ridden it start every now and then letting it go all 223 00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:21,960 the way up and stop and the doors open and it doesn't drop 224 00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:24,640 and then just wait and people will be like what's going on? 225 00:11:24,680 --> 00:11:27,520 And then have someone come over the PA system and be like, oh, 226 00:11:27,560 --> 00:11:28,960 sorry everybody. It seems like the rides 227 00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:31,480 experience some issues will be done in just and boom, drop them 228 00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:34,760 in the middle of them talking and they don't. 229 00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:37,880 Their people will be shitting their pants thinking they're 230 00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:40,120 about to die. And that's where the terror will 231 00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:43,160 then come back into play. So we had one very similar to 232 00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:46,200 that called the giant drop where it was just a straight vertical 233 00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:50,320 up and down, goes up, dropped probably 2 feet, 3 feet, 234 00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:53,600 stopped, and then dropped again the rest of the way for the 235 00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:56,560 exact reason I feel the operator was like let's fuck with these 236 00:11:56,560 --> 00:11:58,640 people today. I love those because I'll see 237 00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:02,240 those at like at places that aren't Disney because like, you 238 00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:04,480 know, Disney's got a Disneyfy, their version of that. 239 00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:06,760 But yeah, where they just take you up in the circular tower, it 240 00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:08,320 takes you all the way top and then they drop you and it 241 00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:10,240 bounces and you come. Sometimes they'll drop you, 242 00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:12,320 bounce, you come back up and then they drop you all the way 243 00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:14,720 down. Not that long ago in Orlando, 244 00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:18,920 there was a kid that got on one of those, a big kid, like 4, but 245 00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:22,920 he was 14 and he was not secured in that motherfucker properly. 246 00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:26,360 And it dropped. And when it did that sudden stop 247 00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:29,680 at the bottom, he slung out of his seat and splatted on the 248 00:12:29,680 --> 00:12:30,880 ground right in front of everybody. 249 00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:35,040 And like, I broke. Ever since then, being a fat 250 00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:37,960 guy, I'm like, you know, I might not ride those rides anymore. 251 00:12:38,680 --> 00:12:40,600 It's kind of like a, was it Jon Pinet? 252 00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:44,040 He had that. I don't do UPS obstify gravity. 253 00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:46,880 Gravity's a law. I obey the law. 254 00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:51,760 I've been watching clips of those at my God. 255 00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:55,440 I got into his comedy very late in life. 256 00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:59,200 You know, I think like, within months before he passed away, I 257 00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:01,640 was like, my God, this guy was hilarious somewhere. 258 00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:07,120 Over the buffet, potatoes piled high. 259 00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:11,080 So good. I want to try something but I 260 00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:14,400 think it would be considered a racist and insensitive so I'm 261 00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:17,160 just going to say Free Willy I was. 262 00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:19,640 Going to say, I know, I know. The one bit where he's like, 263 00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:23,800 you've been here 4 hours. You scare my wife like so. 264 00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:27,520 It's in, in hindsight, a little culturally insensitive, but it's 265 00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:30,840 a funny bit. But it I the clips I see, 266 00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:33,640 they're just like, I guess the shorts on YouTube. 267 00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:38,880 They're being viewed by a couple of Asian gentlemen and they're 268 00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:42,200 laughing their asses off. So it's just like, yeah, he's 269 00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:44,640 kind of making fun of us, but it's true. 270 00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:49,720 It's funny, something. I've noticed in my Internet, not 271 00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:53,120 sleuthing, but my Internet browsing over the, you know, 272 00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:57,160 course of my basically my entire life since AOL days is that more 273 00:13:57,160 --> 00:14:00,720 often than not when someone gets offended at a joke that they 274 00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:04,800 think is racist, it's almost never the race of the person who 275 00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:06,160 the joke is about that's getting mad. 276 00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:08,720 More often than not, it's a white girl who's going to throw 277 00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:11,480 that out there. Like 90% of the time it's a 278 00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:15,080 white girl just being like that's culturally insensitive. 279 00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:17,960 Meanwhile, like the brother next to her is laughing his ass off 280 00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:20,640 at whatever joke was said. And then they people say that 281 00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:23,240 like, I know people gonna be like, Oh my God, Dalton's a 282 00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:24,680 Trumper.

But but before you tell me what 356 00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:54,480 it is, I told you this in the discord what you need to try 357 00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:58,120 next time you smoke a meatloaf, take a couple hard boiled eggs, 358 00:17:58,360 --> 00:18:03,800 wrap wrap the meat or put them inside the meatloaf and then 359 00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:07,040 smoke it. It just adds a little extra that 360 00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:11,280 it I can't describe. It's just nice taking a bite of 361 00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:13,640 meat. Oh and there's some egg with it. 362 00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:15,720 It's. I mean, I can see that the in 363 00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:18,320 theory, because people put like fried eggs on their burgers and 364 00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:20,040 stuff. So I can see the link between 365 00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:22,000 beef and egg. I'd be willing to try it. 366 00:18:22,120 --> 00:18:24,880 It's one of those things that I've seen in, in practice, I 367 00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:26,720 look at it and I'm like, that's a little strange. 368 00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:30,640 But hearing somebody that I know say it's worth a try, then I'm 369 00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:33,120 willing to give it a try. So yeah, I'll, I'll, I'll give 370 00:18:33,120 --> 00:18:36,440 it a shot and report back. Anyway, Bologna roll, enlighten 371 00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:38,000 us. OK, so you know you can buy like 372 00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:40,040 packs of Bologna sliced in the store, right? 373 00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:43,480 Well, you can also buy the roll of Bologna before it's been 374 00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:46,160 sliced. It's just a big hunk of meat, 375 00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:47,040 right? Yeah. 376 00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:50,200 Like a not like a like a big pill looking thing. 377 00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:55,840 You take that and you score it and you put slits down one side 378 00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:57,720 and then slits the other way around it. 379 00:18:57,720 --> 00:19:00,880 And you smoke it and smoke it for a few hours. 380 00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:04,840 And it puts a nice smoke ring on it but doesn't quite warm it up 381 00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:06,840 all the way through. I think you could let it smoke a 382 00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:08,680 little longer than it would. But this video that I watched, 383 00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:12,240 the guy did this, then he took it, cut it into thick slices and 384 00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:15,360 just quick seared it in a pan and then put it on a sandwich. 385 00:19:15,360 --> 00:19:17,680 A little mayonnaise. Oh bro, it looks so good. 386 00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:20,960 I love Bologna, right? It's like, I love Spam and 387 00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:23,360 people were like, oh God, Spam can't. 388 00:19:23,360 --> 00:19:26,360 I'm like, listen, if you cook it right, my dad one of one of 389 00:19:26,360 --> 00:19:28,320 these people and he is now a believer. 390 00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:31,000 I'm like, you have to cook that spam till it's a little crunchy. 391 00:19:31,120 --> 00:19:34,720 You don't no floppy spam. Never ever, ever. 392 00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:38,040 You get a nice, you get a nice slice and you crisp it up on 393 00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:40,800 both sides. Oh, dude, on a on a piece of 394 00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:44,000 bread with some egg and some spam little Mayo or whatever 395 00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:46,760 your condiment of your choice. Oh, delicious. 396 00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:50,400 You caramelize it a little so it and it brings out a little 397 00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:52,920 sweetness to it. It is excellent. 398 00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:55,520 Adam, do you have spam down? There, Yeah, I I trust your 399 00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:59,360 opinion because I know how good a cook you are, but if you can't 400 00:19:59,360 --> 00:20:02,480 identify what animal the meat comes from for me. 401 00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:06,720 I'm not big on it. That's fair. 402 00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:08,320 You know what's funny is I eat baloney. 403 00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:11,520 I eat spam. I buy all beef hot dogs. 404 00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:14,720 Just weird. Like I don't want pork and 405 00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:17,640 chicken in my hot dogs. Give me a Nathan's all beef hot 406 00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:19,680 dog. Hebrew National is not bad, but 407 00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:22,400 I like Nathan's. Now let me ask you this because 408 00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:25,000 we were talking about Gordon Ramsay and Patreon. 409 00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:28,720 Have you ever attempted or considered making a Beef 410 00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:32,960 Wellington? No, it looks stupid complicated. 411 00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:37,720 Granted, I bet my dad would try because my dad's into trying 412 00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:41,560 intricate shit like that. I am so much more like, oh me, 413 00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:43,960 put meat over, fire me, make meat taste good. 414 00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:46,560 Now don't get me wrong, I do like you've seen me do intricate 415 00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:48,840 dishes and stuff like that too. I do enjoy doing that. 416 00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:51,880 But there is just so much room for error with the beef 417 00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:55,720 Wellington and it's really just dealing with puff pastry because 418 00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:59,160 they're such thin layers. I am so bad about tearing shit 419 00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:02,200 like that. I'm so bad like I am I'm shocked 420 00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:05,840 that I can roll a joint because like sushi trying to roll sushi, 421 00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:09,840 it's either going to be fat and big old roll with sushi or it's 422 00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:14,320 going to be torn because I just. Can't it all comes out the same 423 00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:15,640 way? That's very true. 424 00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:18,720 Just give me the ingredients to a sushi in a bowl and I will 425 00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:21,920 just eat that. Yeah, my dad used to cook 426 00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:25,120 Wellingtons a couple of times when I was a kid, and he just 427 00:21:25,120 --> 00:21:28,440 mastered it and I think I'm an okay cook. 428 00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:31,760 Not to his level by any means. I don't think any of us will 429 00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:34,280 ever surpass our fathers in their cooking prowess. 430 00:21:35,360 --> 00:21:39,320 But yeah, I tried and failed miserably, so never again. 431 00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:44,320 I certainly can't cook well because I love grilling, but 432 00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:49,960 where I live our association only allows electric grills and 433 00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:56,240 my electric grill is terrible. I cooked some some pork kebabs 434 00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:59,280 this past weekend. A normal on a normal grill it 435 00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:02,880 will take 30 minutes 45. You want to get like the nice 436 00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:07,720 tender crispiness to that it took me over an hour and a. 437 00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:12,040 Half now OK, so the pit boss that I have that's a smoker, but 438 00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:14,320 I can turn it, it goes all the way up to 500 degrees. 439 00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:17,560 So if you need to grill something, you can technically I 440 00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:21,160 have to plug it in to the wall for it to run to make the auger 441 00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:23,000 work to get the pellets to come down. 442 00:22:23,120 --> 00:22:25,880 So is is that like you could get something like that and it would 443 00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:28,400 be a workaround because it's technically electric or is it 444 00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:29,880 just an electric burner straight up? 445 00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:33,720 It has to be an electric burner. If they find out if it burns 446 00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:37,520 anything other than or if it's powered by anything other than 447 00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:41,120 electric, even if it's wood pellets, they'll I'm sure we'll 448 00:22:41,120 --> 00:22:44,080 get some sort of fine. Yeah, don't get fined. 449 00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:44,880 It's not worth. That. 450 00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:48,600 So I'll just wait until it comes time where I'm going to buy the 451 00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:53,280 Mrs. and IA house and then I'll get myself a damn nice grill or 452 00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:54,640 smoker. Whatever. 453 00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:56,680 Whatever is the best recommendation. 454 00:22:56,880 --> 00:22:58,200 Hell yeah. I can't wait to see what you 455 00:22:58,200 --> 00:23:00,520 make on it, my good Sir. Oh, man, I always talk about 456 00:23:00,520 --> 00:23:02,240 food. I think the last time I ate was 457 00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:04,160 like six hours ago. Whenever we're done here, I'm 458 00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:07,640 definitely going to go get some leftovers, be at meatloaf or the 459 00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:09,920 pizza that I ordered today because I was lazy, because I 460 00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:14,680 played all yesterday cooking. But yeah, we played. 461 00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:16,720 We played a game, gentlemen, we played. 462 00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:18,200 Did we? A little. 463 00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:20,440 Did we? I think we did. 464 00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:22,080 Something. Did I miss something? 465 00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:26,560 Something about an effective mass proportions, yeah. 466 00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:29,240 I don't know what to talk about. I'm out of here. 467 00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:29,840 See you guys. I'll. 468 00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:33,440 Tell you what, let me remind you with this article right here 469 00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:36,240 from the obligatory wiki booty of bullshit. 470 00:23:37,120 --> 00:23:40,400 Mass Effect is the game we played and it is a military 471 00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:44,320 science fiction media franchise created by Casey Hudson. 472 00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:47,680 The franchise depicts a distant future where humanity and 473 00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:51,360 several alien civilizations have colonized the Galaxy using 474 00:23:51,360 --> 00:23:53,880 technology left behind by advanced precursor 475 00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:56,160 civilizations. The franchise originated in a 476 00:23:56,160 --> 00:24:00,040 series of video games developed by BioWare, originally published 477 00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:03,400 by Microsoft Game Studios on the 1st 2 games and its expansions. 478 00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:06,520 Later on the series was taken over by Electronic Arts. 479 00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:10,200 As per usual for most things it's just EA just eats them up. 480 00:24:10,360 --> 00:24:13,680 Each installment is a third person shooter with role-playing 481 00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:15,800 elements. The first three games form a 482 00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:18,120 trilogy in which the player characters Commander Shepard 483 00:24:18,120 --> 00:24:20,360 attempts to save the Milky Way from a Galaxy erase of the 484 00:24:20,360 --> 00:24:23,680 ancient hibernating machines known as the Reapers. 485 00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:29,160 The inaugural video game in the series came out in 2007, but I 486 00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:34,120 believe that all of us played the remaster, which I do not 487 00:24:34,120 --> 00:24:35,800 remember. This article does not tell me 488 00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:42,200 when that came out. 2021 I think so. 2021 Mass Effect Legendary 489 00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:48,440 Edition. So I'm not going to lie, growing 490 00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:54,480 up I had a couple friends who got fucking really into Mass 491 00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:59,920 Effect 3 and it's online multiplayer to the point that I 492 00:24:59,920 --> 00:25:03,840 lost them for like 8 months. They did not want to do anything 493 00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:06,720 but go home and play that game together. 494 00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:10,680 So I did not have my two friends for a while unless like I 495 00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:12,760 happened to talk them into getting away to come hang out 496 00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:14,800 with me for a while to do something else. 497 00:25:16,360 --> 00:25:20,640 So I never really got into Mass Effect because it was like, I 498 00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:23,000 just watched you guys play this multiplayer. 499 00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:25,280 It does not look interesting to me because they I never saw any 500 00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:26,520 of the story. You know what I mean? 501 00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:30,640 So this was a a breath of fresh air for me. 502 00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:32,840 In a certain sense. We'll get to like how the actual 503 00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:34,600 game was, but I'm more interested in you guys. 504 00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:38,080 When were your what was your first forays into this? 505 00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:42,200 I will go chef. You're in a black and white 506 00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:44,560 chair. Yes, I am. 507 00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:49,040 So what is my foray into this series? 508 00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:52,720 Yeah, well, well, let's put it like this. 509 00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:56,640 I basically had the same sort of opinion that you did, just like 510 00:25:56,680 --> 00:25:58,920 Mass Effect. What do I care? 511 00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:06,280 So for many years I didn't care about this series until a Co 512 00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:11,200 worker, a buddy of mine said he bought the legendary edition and 513 00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:12,760 he's been telling me how good it is. 514 00:26:12,760 --> 00:26:15,080 So I was like, all right, fine, I'll bite the bullet. 515 00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:19,200 It's on sale right now with the PlayStation Network. 516 00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:21,560 So I bought it. I bought the Legendary edition 517 00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:27,080 and that was my foray into the series so I literally played. 518 00:26:27,120 --> 00:26:31,360 The first time I played this series was the start of my two 519 00:26:31,360 --> 00:26:34,880 week vacation for when I was getting a married. 520 00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:37,120 OK. So relatively recently then? 521 00:26:37,320 --> 00:26:40,360 Yes, in the past couple months. For some reason I was thinking 522 00:26:40,360 --> 00:26:43,120 that you had played it once before that, but now that I'm 523 00:26:43,120 --> 00:26:45,080 thinking about it, I think that was you were talking about Star 524 00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:47,720 Trek, a Star Trek. I mean, I yeah, I definitely 525 00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:49,400 played. I've been playing Star Trek 526 00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:53,920 Online for many years. But OK I'll be brutally honest I 527 00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:59,240 did, my brother at one point let me borrow his 360 and he said I 528 00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:04,200 need to play Mass Effect 2. So it's like starts 2 every you 529 00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:07,720 know everyone says 2 is great but I started the game you know? 530 00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:12,280 5 minutes in I realized what am I missing what the hell is going 531 00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:14,880 on? So I immediately shut it off and 532 00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:19,520 I never touched the the series again until IA couple months 533 00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:20,760 ago. OK. 534 00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:25,440 And Adam, what about you, bud? So I'm the complete opposite to 535 00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:28,640 you 2, gentlemen. I was an original adopter of 536 00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:33,440 this game back in 2007 for the Xbox 360 and I've also got a 537 00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:39,120 long history with BioWare. So going through what BioWare 538 00:27:39,120 --> 00:27:41,560 games I'd actually played because I've had that time with 539 00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:45,600 Kotor, Jade Empire, Bouldersgate 1 and 2 every winter nights. 540 00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:48,000 Long history of CRPGS with BioWare. 541 00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:51,600 Their first game, Shattered Steel I, which is like a Mecca 542 00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:55,240 shooter. So I think like Ace Combat but 543 00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:57,920 with mechs. I remember playing this on my 544 00:27:57,920 --> 00:28:04,360 next door neighbor's computer PC DOS, probably like 199697 and 545 00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:07,680 just scrolling through that list unlocked a core memory for me. 546 00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:12,080 So I remember back in 2007 I was working for EB Games, which is 547 00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:16,000 your guys version of GameStop. I'd just gotten an Xbox 360. 548 00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:19,720 It was that bundle that came with Viva Pinata Forza 549 00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:23,560 Motorsport 2. This is a dumb question. 550 00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:26,520 EB game stands for Electronic Boutique right? 551 00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:28,960 That was correct. I thought that was a cooler name 552 00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:31,960 than GameStop, the electronic boutique. 553 00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:33,560 It just sounds so much more fancy. 554 00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:37,280 Do you get well, do you remember what GameStop was before? 555 00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:40,280 Did you ever have a Funko land? Oh. 556 00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:43,800 You know, if I do, if I do, remember that it's been a long 557 00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:45,560 time. Yeah, it was definitely like an 558 00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:49,840 80s, nineties video game store. I don't remember when they went 559 00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:53,280 under or they were bought out by GameStop, but that's what it was 560 00:28:53,280 --> 00:28:56,160 before. Man, the remnants of mall stores 561 00:28:56,400 --> 00:28:58,520 and stuff. Sorry, Adam, continue. 562 00:28:59,080 --> 00:29:02,560 No, you're right. So I had my Xbox 360 came in the 563 00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:05,200 bundle with the two games. So I didn't like either of those 564 00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:08,000 games at the time. So I tried them in and I bought 565 00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:12,720 Assassin's Creed, Bioshock and Mass Effect 2007 was a fucking 566 00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:16,240 amazing year for the game. Let me just say yeah. 567 00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:20,960 And what caught my eye with Mass Effect because I had I didn't 568 00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:23,600 know that it was BioWare, despite playing heaps of BioWare 569 00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:27,200 games in the past. And I just saw because they're 570 00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:31,920 rating because it had a sex scene on it and like, I was 19 571 00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:34,240 at the time. And what else is a 19 year old 572 00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:37,200 boy want? It's a video games and sex, come 573 00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:39,000 on. And we're in Australia. 574 00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:42,920 We're the second heavily most censored country for video games 575 00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:44,760 I think, apart from Germany. Is it behind Germany? 576 00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:48,200 So I'm like, all right, I'm definitely getting this. 577 00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:51,120 And I just fell in love with the storytelling. 578 00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:55,160 Played through the whole series except Andromeda. 579 00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:58,560 I haven't played through that yet, but overall this is this 580 00:29:58,560 --> 00:30:01,200 was my fourth complete playthrough of the game. 581 00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:04,720 Can I, can I ask what's everyone's hard on against 582 00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:06,920 Andromeda? Because I I own it. 583 00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:08,920 I loaded it up. See, I have no experience with 584 00:30:08,920 --> 00:30:10,480 the original trilogy. Let me just throw that out 585 00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:12,040 there. So that might have been when I 586 00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:14,280 loaded into Andromeda. I played a couple hours of it 587 00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:17,440 and I'm like, this is enjoyable. This is a very pretty game. 588 00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:19,880 What why did everybody hate this so much? 589 00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:22,200 Granted, again, I only played a couple hours. 590 00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:24,920 So it could be that that game completely falls apart and I 591 00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:27,360 have no idea. But like I was watching just 592 00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:29,800 today to kind of refresh. It's because I beat Mass Effect 593 00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:31,200 like a week ago just to refresh myself. 594 00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:34,760 I watched a little like a retrospective video shout out 595 00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:37,600 the salt factory and he was talking about how he loves the 596 00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:40,840 Mass Effect series and he goes not Andromeda, Andromeda's shit. 597 00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:44,320 And then he next thing he says I didn't play Andromeda and I'm 598 00:30:44,320 --> 00:30:45,960 like, well then how do you know it's shit? 599 00:30:46,560 --> 00:30:50,320 Yeah, but so I don't think it's shit because again, I haven't 600 00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:55,240 played it, but I was a very late adopter to whatever generation 601 00:30:55,240 --> 00:30:58,680 Xbox One, PS4 was. So I got that probably about 3-4 602 00:30:58,680 --> 00:31:01,840 years into its life cycle. So Andromeda was like pretty 603 00:31:01,840 --> 00:31:04,640 much a release title. So it was very early on and I 604 00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:08,080 didn't have a good PC at the time, so I had no way to play 605 00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:10,080 it. And by then, although the 606 00:31:10,080 --> 00:31:13,400 controversy is simply people wanting Shepherd and it not 607 00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:16,800 being Shepherd, because across the trilogy, Shepherd becomes 608 00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:19,520 this character that becomes the player. 609 00:31:19,520 --> 00:31:23,240 Essentially, you spend so much time across the three games in 610 00:31:23,240 --> 00:31:25,920 Shepherd's World that anything that isn't Shepherd's World, 611 00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:28,920 people are against. Now you both have beaten the 612 00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:32,040 trilogy so I don't have to worry about it with y'all spoilers for 613 00:31:32,040 --> 00:31:35,240 listeners, skip ahead like 30 seconds maybe to a minute if you 614 00:31:35,240 --> 00:31:36,920 don't want spoilers for Mass Effect 3. 615 00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:40,080 Because this is my question isn't technically the cannon 616 00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:43,480 ending of Mass Effect 3. Shepherd sacrifices himself in 617 00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:46,840 one way or another to like you can either bring the reapers 618 00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:49,560 back or Shepherd sacrifices himself. 619 00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:52,320 And then they had to like Patch in a third ending because people 620 00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:56,520 just shit their pants about it. Do we want to say it now or do 621 00:31:56,520 --> 00:31:58,000 we want to wait until Mass Effect 3? 622 00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:01,760 Because I do know the answer to this, but I just don't know if I 623 00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:05,200 want to spoil it for the people that have not played the trilogy 624 00:32:05,200 --> 00:32:08,280 yet. OK, so without spoiling it then 625 00:32:08,480 --> 00:32:11,600 wouldn't it make sense canonically that Shepherd's 626 00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:14,840 story wrapped up one way or another and that it's like 627 00:32:14,880 --> 00:32:17,440 Andromeda being a new thing would make sense? 628 00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:20,280 Or am I often? Short answer is no. 629 00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:24,880 OK. Yeah, so Andromeda takes place 630 00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:28,720 timeline wise between 2:00 and 3:00 in another Galaxy 631 00:32:28,720 --> 00:32:31,520 completely. So not anywhere even on 632 00:32:31,520 --> 00:32:34,280 Shepherd's radar. It's a spin off, essentially, 633 00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:35,520 yeah. Gotcha. 634 00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:37,920 OK, so people were just expecting another Shepherd game. 635 00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:39,320 They didn't get another Shepherd game. 636 00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:44,160 I also heard that one another reason why Andromeda was so 637 00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:48,200 poorly received, especially at launch, was due to performance. 638 00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:52,640 Okay, we'll see me coming in probably two or three years 639 00:32:52,640 --> 00:32:55,080 after it came out. I'm sure that those is probably 640 00:32:55,080 --> 00:32:56,800 patched out by now. Correct. 641 00:32:56,800 --> 00:32:59,080 Yes. Okay, so all right then. 642 00:32:59,080 --> 00:33:01,360 Well, then maybe one day we'll play it for the show and we'll 643 00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:04,240 be like the Bastion for like, hey, Andromeda doesn't suck that 644 00:33:04,240 --> 00:33:07,040 bad. Everybody like, you know, I 645 00:33:07,040 --> 00:33:09,240 don't know, it's like we'll do that and then we'll give our 646 00:33:09,240 --> 00:33:12,600 favorite Nickelback songs. One thing I will give Andromeda, 647 00:33:12,760 --> 00:33:16,200 you can jump in combat, which we'll get to combat eventually 648 00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:19,280 I'm sure, but I have my thoughts on combat in number one at 649 00:33:19,280 --> 00:33:22,600 least. Let me tell you, after playing 650 00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:26,480 so many newer RPGs, it's really interesting to go back to one 651 00:33:26,680 --> 00:33:28,960 that did Mass Effect. Mass Effect doesn't have a jump 652 00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:31,440 button, right? No, yeah, that's dude, that's 653 00:33:31,440 --> 00:33:33,920 weird to go back to when you when you're going back, it's 654 00:33:33,920 --> 00:33:36,440 like, what was the other game I was playing recently? 655 00:33:36,520 --> 00:33:39,000 I think it was Dragon Age. Yeah, Dragon Age you can't jump. 656 00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:42,800 And it was just, it's just odd. There is one thing that the 657 00:33:42,800 --> 00:33:48,560 trilogy later on adds to combat and it actually becomes like a 658 00:33:48,560 --> 00:33:52,480 necessity to help make Shepherd quicker, and that's launching, 659 00:33:52,560 --> 00:33:54,640 launching yourself over obstacles. 660 00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:58,920 So like if you're standing behind a like a cement girder, 661 00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:01,720 there is a like a leap over action. 662 00:34:01,880 --> 00:34:04,960 So instead of you having to run around, you could just leap over 663 00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:05,720 it. OK. 664 00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:08,880 So see that would be a lot really helpful because this can 665 00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:11,040 be a free important discussion. We don't have to go through beat 666 00:34:11,040 --> 00:34:13,960 by beat because that brings up a point that I wanted to make and 667 00:34:13,960 --> 00:34:15,800 it's just something that annoyed me about this game. 668 00:34:16,360 --> 00:34:18,199 And I do have good things to say, I promise listeners. 669 00:34:18,199 --> 00:34:21,480 So stay, stay tuned. But one of the annoyances I had 670 00:34:21,639 --> 00:34:27,000 was that I would auto like duck behind a wall if I was, if I 671 00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:28,679 accidentally pushed, walk towards it. 672 00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:31,520 So like if I'm trying to run towards the doorway and I don't 673 00:34:31,520 --> 00:34:34,280 completely clear the doorway and I clip the corner as I'm trying 674 00:34:34,280 --> 00:34:36,360 to run through it, he would just like press his shoulder up 675 00:34:36,360 --> 00:34:39,120 against the corner and then boom, I'm like oh, that just 676 00:34:39,120 --> 00:34:41,600 took away all my momentum. Then I'm trying to spaz to get 677 00:34:41,600 --> 00:34:44,679 him to move away from the wall and I'm getting littered with 678 00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:49,280 bullets and plasma shots and I'm like fuck, I'm trying to wake up 679 00:34:49,280 --> 00:34:51,440 the puppy sleeping next to me but just fuck Shepherd. 680 00:34:51,880 --> 00:34:56,120 Do what I'm fucking telling you to do for God's sakes, man. 681 00:34:56,400 --> 00:35:00,000 Your life is at stake here. Well another thing I find funny 682 00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:04,520 is Shepherd is supposed to be this muscular, like really in 683 00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:06,920 shape soldier. You know someone that's supposed 684 00:35:06,920 --> 00:35:11,080 to be like the best of the best. He could only Sprint for like 5 685 00:35:11,080 --> 00:35:14,000 to 7 seconds before he just he's completely out of breath. 686 00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:16,200 It's like Shepherd layoff the cigarettes. 687 00:35:16,200 --> 00:35:18,360 Dude, it's the, it's the Phasmophobia sin. 688 00:35:18,360 --> 00:35:21,480 Like sin of like, yeah, your character smokes like 6 packs a 689 00:35:21,480 --> 00:35:23,800 day or something because you could run all of 10 steps and 690 00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:27,440 then you're like, oh fuck. Oh, somebody give me a 691 00:35:27,440 --> 00:35:31,680 cheeseburger. So this this print was actually 692 00:35:31,680 --> 00:35:35,560 changed for the Legendary edition and I'm going to preface 693 00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:37,560 all the good stuff I said about this game. 694 00:35:37,560 --> 00:35:40,400 By the last time I played it was 2012. 695 00:35:40,520 --> 00:35:43,520 So I've come back into the legendary edition first time 696 00:35:43,520 --> 00:35:46,280 playthrough with a real fresh critical look. 697 00:35:46,320 --> 00:35:49,160 I feel because I've matured quite a bit critically on what 698 00:35:49,160 --> 00:35:53,560 games are into Mass Effect. One Sprint wasn't even there in 699 00:35:53,560 --> 00:35:55,800 the initial. It was that typical that 700 00:35:55,800 --> 00:35:59,640 animation where developers speed up the animation but it doesn't 701 00:35:59,640 --> 00:36:02,280 actually change your movement speed to look like sprint's 702 00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:06,960 happening, like the horses in Oblivion and Dragon Age 703 00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:09,880 Inquisition I think. Yeah, where it's like they look 704 00:36:09,880 --> 00:36:11,600 like they're moving fat. You're really not moving that 705 00:36:11,600 --> 00:36:13,880 much faster. It's like you might be moving 706 00:36:13,880 --> 00:36:15,520 1/2 a step quicker than you normally would. 707 00:36:15,520 --> 00:36:16,640 That's about it. Like. 708 00:36:17,280 --> 00:36:20,120 Yeah, one thing apparently that's very notorious for that 709 00:36:20,120 --> 00:36:26,120 is when you're trying to Sprint on a citadel where the speed of 710 00:36:26,120 --> 00:36:31,120 running does not increase. It just alters the the view of 711 00:36:31,120 --> 00:36:33,720 the camera. I think like it pushes it back 712 00:36:33,880 --> 00:36:37,400 to give like the the illusions that he's sprinting, but in 713 00:36:37,400 --> 00:36:39,200 reality he's running the same speed. 714 00:36:39,720 --> 00:36:42,240 That is simple, BioWare, that is simple. 715 00:36:43,680 --> 00:36:46,920 So let's let's go ahead and just get the bad stuff out of the way 716 00:36:47,040 --> 00:36:50,680 because I personally think the best part of this game was the 717 00:36:50,680 --> 00:36:52,360 story. So like, we'll, we'll we'll 718 00:36:52,360 --> 00:36:55,600 touch on that for sure. But like, OK, we're in their 719 00:36:55,600 --> 00:36:57,440 mind now. OK, let me preface this. 720 00:36:57,560 --> 00:36:59,240 I told you boys this before we started recording. 721 00:36:59,360 --> 00:37:02,680 You guys both might have way more to say about side content 722 00:37:02,680 --> 00:37:06,000 than me because I apparently golden passed this game without 723 00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:10,400 trying because I did like 5 missions, 6 missions. 724 00:37:10,400 --> 00:37:12,840 And the next thing I knew I was heading to the final planet to 725 00:37:12,840 --> 00:37:15,440 go take care of business. And I was like, oh shit. 726 00:37:15,480 --> 00:37:20,080 OK, so I somehow avoided all of the character interaction, all 727 00:37:20,080 --> 00:37:24,000 of the character side quests. I I somehow didn't get booty. 728 00:37:24,800 --> 00:37:26,920 There was a few different things that didn't happen. 729 00:37:26,920 --> 00:37:31,640 But like, what in their right fucking mind did they think when 730 00:37:31,640 --> 00:37:35,640 they were designing all of the driving sections for 1/2? 731 00:37:35,760 --> 00:37:37,560 This game came out after Halo, correct? 732 00:37:37,560 --> 00:37:39,000 Yeah, it had to have come out after Halo. 733 00:37:39,080 --> 00:37:42,720 Way after Halo. Halo nailed what they were going 734 00:37:42,720 --> 00:37:44,520 for with driving with the warthog. 735 00:37:44,800 --> 00:37:47,440 Why they didn't just copy that I don't know. 736 00:37:47,640 --> 00:37:50,200 But like the fact that you move with one stick and the other 737 00:37:50,200 --> 00:37:53,480 stick controls your gun but like also moves the camera but then 738 00:37:53,480 --> 00:37:57,760 your shit doesn't move with the camera so you're just it's legit 739 00:37:57,760 --> 00:38:01,000 I guess tank controls but it was rough. 740 00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:02,520 That's. That's what it is. 741 00:38:02,520 --> 00:38:06,640 It seems like they tried to copy what Halo did and they thought, 742 00:38:06,640 --> 00:38:09,040 well, no, we let's try to make it even better. 743 00:38:09,280 --> 00:38:12,520 And they actually just, so instead of just having the 744 00:38:12,520 --> 00:38:16,560 camera focus, you're turning, you're still able to control 745 00:38:16,560 --> 00:38:20,000 your turns. So even if you're like in one 746 00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:24,160 particular instance when you're on Pharos, you're driving along 747 00:38:24,160 --> 00:38:28,520 the long highway, just a straight path, your camera is 748 00:38:28,520 --> 00:38:31,760 dead center. And yet because of the way that 749 00:38:31,760 --> 00:38:36,960 the left joystick or the controls for how you're able to 750 00:38:36,960 --> 00:38:41,680 do individual steering, my Mako, the tank is still going like a 751 00:38:41,680 --> 00:38:44,920 little bit back and forth. Oh yeah, squirrely as shit. 752 00:38:44,920 --> 00:38:46,400 Squirrely as shit. Exactly. 753 00:38:47,800 --> 00:38:49,720 But to be this, go, go ahead, Adam. 754 00:38:50,040 --> 00:38:53,200 I was just gonna say, So there's two options that you can 755 00:38:53,200 --> 00:38:56,440 actually change the Mako controls that they updated for 756 00:38:56,440 --> 00:38:59,760 the Legendary edition. So I can't remember which one it 757 00:38:59,760 --> 00:39:02,600 was, whether it was the original game or the legendary where you 758 00:39:02,600 --> 00:39:06,080 steer by the turret. So the way that the turret is 759 00:39:06,120 --> 00:39:08,000 facing is the way that the Mako will go. 760 00:39:08,080 --> 00:39:10,880 Is that what you guys had for your driving experience? 761 00:39:11,080 --> 00:39:13,160 No, no. OK, You guys had on the old 762 00:39:13,160 --> 00:39:16,440 option, then you probably you can change it to an upgraded. 763 00:39:16,440 --> 00:39:17,440 See. Apparently, yeah, there were. 764 00:39:17,440 --> 00:39:19,360 There were there are a few different options like that in 765 00:39:19,360 --> 00:39:22,520 the menu that I did not know about that were like switching 766 00:39:22,520 --> 00:39:24,040 it from the old way to a new way. 767 00:39:24,520 --> 00:39:26,360 I can't remember the other one, but there was a there was 768 00:39:26,360 --> 00:39:28,960 another option that Salt Factory brought up that I was like, son 769 00:39:28,960 --> 00:39:30,480 of a bitch. I wish I'd have known that was 770 00:39:30,480 --> 00:39:32,720 there. Are you talking about the level 771 00:39:32,720 --> 00:39:34,440 system? Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. 772 00:39:34,440 --> 00:39:36,680 He turned off auto leveling. That wasn't on for me. 773 00:39:36,680 --> 00:39:39,120 I must have shut that off one time loading up the game before. 774 00:39:39,120 --> 00:39:43,200 But I I don't like auto level systems in most games. 775 00:39:43,320 --> 00:39:45,320 I like to kind of have control over my builds. 776 00:39:46,000 --> 00:39:48,160 Well I'm not referring to that because I'm the same. 777 00:39:48,160 --> 00:39:52,480 I had auto level off but it gives you the option do you want 778 00:39:52,480 --> 00:39:56,440 the classic leveling or do you want them new leveling. 779 00:39:56,600 --> 00:40:00,120 Because it actually does matter, because if you choose classic, 780 00:40:00,200 --> 00:40:04,280 you can go all the way up to level 60 and the legendary is 781 00:40:04,280 --> 00:40:08,280 only capped at level 30. I think I went with the level 60 782 00:40:08,280 --> 00:40:10,160 option because I was like, well, yeah, I want to be a higher 783 00:40:10,160 --> 00:40:11,000 level. Yeah. 784 00:40:11,800 --> 00:40:15,360 Which I guess they, from what I read, it was like it's the exact 785 00:40:15,360 --> 00:40:17,000 same. It's just you get everything 786 00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:20,480 twice as fast basically. And I'm like, well that I did 787 00:40:20,480 --> 00:40:24,080 not at one point in this game feel like I was under leveled 788 00:40:24,080 --> 00:40:27,120 for anything I was doing. No, they were very good about 789 00:40:27,920 --> 00:40:32,240 the fact that the final, not the final, final boss, but the final 790 00:40:32,240 --> 00:40:37,640 boss where you have to fight. Oh, my fucking brain just 791 00:40:37,640 --> 00:40:39,200 blanked on his name. I said I wanted to say Garris. 792 00:40:39,200 --> 00:40:40,200 That's not who I'm trying to think. 793 00:40:40,840 --> 00:40:42,440 Of sarin. Sarin. 794 00:40:42,440 --> 00:40:44,080 Yeah. So you have to fight him. 795 00:40:44,320 --> 00:40:47,960 You can end that with a fucking dialogue option, which I love. 796 00:40:47,960 --> 00:40:50,480 That's a BioWare thing that I love is that they're all about 797 00:40:50,480 --> 00:40:52,920 that shit. It's like they they have a few 798 00:40:52,920 --> 00:40:55,880 games where it's like you can go through them with relatively 799 00:40:55,880 --> 00:40:58,880 little to no combat, which is kind of cool in my opinion. 800 00:40:58,880 --> 00:41:00,480 You know, if the people want to go through and they want to try 801 00:41:00,480 --> 00:41:03,240 to do a passive run, you can't. And I think that's pretty sweet. 802 00:41:04,120 --> 00:41:06,080 Well. I was just going to say one 803 00:41:06,080 --> 00:41:13,200 thing that this series does fantastic is the fact that my my 804 00:41:13,200 --> 00:41:15,640 buddy and I, we discussed this a lot because we're both just 805 00:41:15,640 --> 00:41:19,360 madly in love with this series. Now this this series has 806 00:41:19,360 --> 00:41:22,760 consequences. Your actions lead to 807 00:41:22,760 --> 00:41:26,160 consequences. And one of the biggest ones I'm 808 00:41:26,320 --> 00:41:30,240 sure we'll get into later on is who lives and who dies. 809 00:41:30,440 --> 00:41:33,440 And then that affects the rest of the series. 810 00:41:33,720 --> 00:41:38,040 So that's one thing that BioWare did amazing with this is they 811 00:41:38,040 --> 00:41:39,680 create. There are consequences. 812 00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:43,720 And Jeff, correct me if I'm wrong, you prefer sci-fi over 813 00:41:43,720 --> 00:41:45,640 fantasy, correct? I do. 814 00:41:45,880 --> 00:41:50,760 OK so I'm gonna recommend this with a grain of salt because 815 00:41:50,760 --> 00:41:52,280 you're not really a big fantasy person. 816 00:41:52,680 --> 00:41:55,400 A game that does that really well where like you'll do a side 817 00:41:55,400 --> 00:41:59,040 quest and not think about it and then 60 hours later it really 818 00:41:59,320 --> 00:42:01,920 can fucking go one way or another because of that is The 819 00:42:01,920 --> 00:42:05,280 Witcher 3. I'm, I've been told I need to 820 00:42:05,280 --> 00:42:09,520 play the Witcher and I definitely will because those 821 00:42:09,520 --> 00:42:13,800 kinds of games, you know, they're, it's not heavy fantasy 822 00:42:13,800 --> 00:42:18,480 like say or Harry Potter or you know what I mean? 823 00:42:18,640 --> 00:42:22,600 But it's, it's fantasy light, more along the lines of say, 824 00:42:23,120 --> 00:42:27,480 Skyrim, Zelda, you know, it's like it's a fantasy world. 825 00:42:27,680 --> 00:42:30,680 But yeah, it's really not. Yeah, I would consider it like 826 00:42:30,800 --> 00:42:34,000 there's low fantasy, which is like King Arthur stuff where 827 00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:37,000 there's Dragons, but and but there's really no magic and 828 00:42:37,000 --> 00:42:39,520 stuff like that. And then there's true fantasy. 829 00:42:39,800 --> 00:42:42,800 I would consider the Witcher like a nice mid fantasy game 830 00:42:42,880 --> 00:42:45,880 where there's like there's some magic, there's some, you know, 831 00:42:45,880 --> 00:42:49,080 mythical type stuff going on, but it's never really over the 832 00:42:49,080 --> 00:42:51,240 top. And I warn you, that game is 833 00:42:51,240 --> 00:42:56,160 bleak, but it's very good, is one of the best stories I've 834 00:42:56,160 --> 00:42:57,920 ever played in the game, and I'm not trying to overhype it to 835 00:42:57,920 --> 00:42:59,720 you. Definitely draw your own. 836 00:43:01,240 --> 00:43:05,240 Now everyone I hear says it's great game and I will one day 837 00:43:05,240 --> 00:43:10,200 play it, but it's just one of those things of, well, what do I 838 00:43:10,200 --> 00:43:12,240 want to play the game that's just like I'm going to put so 839 00:43:12,240 --> 00:43:16,520 much time in or what I've actually gotten back into once I 840 00:43:16,520 --> 00:43:22,040 finished my replay through of Mass Effect one and as stranded 841 00:43:22,040 --> 00:43:26,080 Deep, which I call Castaway the movie, which is you're just 842 00:43:26,120 --> 00:43:29,680 you're stranded on a tropical island trying to survive. 843 00:43:29,840 --> 00:43:31,760 So quick, fun fact. And then we can get back to 844 00:43:31,760 --> 00:43:33,600 talking about Mass Effect. I promise you. 845 00:43:33,600 --> 00:43:36,360 Talking about Stranded Deep made me think the other day I got a 846 00:43:36,360 --> 00:43:40,080 game called Survival. Oh motherfucker, hold on, let 847 00:43:40,080 --> 00:43:41,920 me, let me go double check Survival. 848 00:43:43,880 --> 00:43:45,640 Oh my God, I have too many games. 849 00:43:45,720 --> 00:43:47,600 Survival Fountain of Youth, right? 850 00:43:48,200 --> 00:43:51,760 And I got it because, you know, I love Saint Augustine and 851 00:43:51,760 --> 00:43:53,680 Florida. I don't necessarily love 852 00:43:53,680 --> 00:43:55,520 Florida, but like I'm from here and all that. 853 00:43:55,520 --> 00:44:00,160 Well, this game is you were part of Ponce de Leon's crew and 854 00:44:00,160 --> 00:44:03,440 you're shipwrecked and then you have to survive in basically the 855 00:44:03,440 --> 00:44:06,200 islands that are on the outskirts of Florida. 856 00:44:07,080 --> 00:44:09,080 So I was like, oh dude, I got to check that out. 857 00:44:09,080 --> 00:44:12,120 That's some of my history there. And like finding letters and 858 00:44:12,120 --> 00:44:13,800 stuff from Ponce de Leon. It's been kind of cool. 859 00:44:14,000 --> 00:44:15,760 And the Fountain of Youth is in Saint Augustine. 860 00:44:15,760 --> 00:44:18,000 So or you know, quote the fountain, fountain of youth. 861 00:44:18,640 --> 00:44:20,200 Sure. So quick, fun fact, while my 862 00:44:20,200 --> 00:44:22,680 parents are there, I had mentioned this one place. 863 00:44:22,680 --> 00:44:23,880 I've never actually been in Saint Augustine. 864 00:44:23,880 --> 00:44:25,640 I've gone to all kinds of places and say I've never been to the 865 00:44:25,640 --> 00:44:27,320 fountain of youth. My parents were like, oh, 866 00:44:27,320 --> 00:44:29,560 neither have we. So they decided to go there and 867 00:44:29,560 --> 00:44:31,840 they were like, well, we drank from the fountain of youth. 868 00:44:31,920 --> 00:44:33,560 I was like, did you? How was it? 869 00:44:33,560 --> 00:44:36,560 Do you feel younger? My mom goes, it's sulfur water. 870 00:44:36,800 --> 00:44:41,560 And I was like, oh, and you drank it, more power to you. 871 00:44:42,880 --> 00:44:45,960 Like sober, that's like, oh, let me have this sip of water while 872 00:44:45,960 --> 00:44:48,840 my nose is just filled with egg smell. 873 00:44:50,840 --> 00:44:52,640 But. Sounds intoxicating. 874 00:44:52,920 --> 00:44:55,120 But now they can say they drank from the fountain of youth, you 875 00:44:55,120 --> 00:44:56,320 know what I mean? So it's like, it's one of those 876 00:44:56,320 --> 00:44:58,880 things where it's like, suck it up because you can tell the Tory 877 00:44:58,880 --> 00:45:01,720 and you can tell people it tasted delicious if you want. 878 00:45:01,720 --> 00:45:03,800 My mom's just going to be honest with me because, you know. 879 00:45:04,600 --> 00:45:06,240 So anyway, Mass Effect, gentlemen. 880 00:45:07,560 --> 00:45:11,680 I mean, if, but let me just say one final thing about the the 881 00:45:11,840 --> 00:45:15,240 driving. I didn't really hate it. 882 00:45:15,560 --> 00:45:18,720 I mean, yes, it can be annoying, but I didn't really hate it. 883 00:45:19,000 --> 00:45:24,680 It's just that the planets you land on are very uninformative. 884 00:45:24,880 --> 00:45:28,320 It just seems like, OK, I'm just going to go to this location 885 00:45:28,320 --> 00:45:30,440 here. Well, you the best. 886 00:45:30,480 --> 00:45:35,120 It's on top of a a mountain face and there's no clear way. 887 00:45:35,120 --> 00:45:37,960 It doesn't tell you what way supposed to go. 888 00:45:37,960 --> 00:45:40,800 It's just one of those things of you have to explore. 889 00:45:40,920 --> 00:45:43,760 So I think that's the worst thing about the driving. 890 00:45:43,760 --> 00:45:47,480 It's not the driving itself, it's just how the game doesn't 891 00:45:47,480 --> 00:45:50,400 tell you. It's not informative enough. 892 00:45:50,560 --> 00:45:52,080 I will give the Mako this though. 893 00:45:52,080 --> 00:45:54,920 That motherfucker can go up the steepest angles. 894 00:45:55,360 --> 00:45:58,160 Yeah, if you get it going properly, you can get up 895 00:45:58,280 --> 00:46:01,600 anything. A problem I had on the actual 896 00:46:01,600 --> 00:46:05,680 planets themselves. It took me ages to find out how 897 00:46:05,680 --> 00:46:08,440 the fuck to get off a planet and go back to the Normandy. 898 00:46:09,120 --> 00:46:13,440 So you had to press start, go into your map, and then return 899 00:46:13,440 --> 00:46:17,200 to Normandy When you were exploring a base plant one of 900 00:46:17,200 --> 00:46:20,240 the side quest planets for. Example now is this the original 901 00:46:20,240 --> 00:46:22,280 or the legendary? No, no legendary. 902 00:46:22,400 --> 00:46:25,120 So whether I didn't change an option there? 903 00:46:25,360 --> 00:46:28,400 All it was. For me, how do you get back to 904 00:46:28,400 --> 00:46:30,360 the Normandy? By pressing square on my 905 00:46:30,360 --> 00:46:33,920 controller, it gives me it gives me the option and do you how 906 00:46:33,920 --> 00:46:37,200 many times I accidentally hit square and it says return to 907 00:46:37,200 --> 00:46:40,320 Normandy? No, it was an accident. 908 00:46:41,120 --> 00:46:44,080 OK. And I never, I didn't map it or 909 00:46:44,080 --> 00:46:47,320 anything. That is a standard control now. 910 00:46:47,320 --> 00:46:50,040 Great. You have to be in the tank, but 911 00:46:50,040 --> 00:46:53,000 nonetheless, that is a standard control. 912 00:46:53,000 --> 00:46:56,040 It's just yeah, press square. OK, return to Normandy. 913 00:46:56,160 --> 00:47:00,280 Yes I'm ready. So you had to now granted that 914 00:47:00,280 --> 00:47:03,280 is an option for me as well. If I go into the map and I hit 915 00:47:03,280 --> 00:47:07,080 square it will ask me return to Normandy, but I could just be 916 00:47:07,080 --> 00:47:09,720 driving around. If I hit square it the game will 917 00:47:09,720 --> 00:47:12,440 pause and say it'll ask me if I want to return. 918 00:47:12,800 --> 00:47:16,040 That's horrible. I will tell you there was one 919 00:47:16,040 --> 00:47:17,480 planet. So when I first started this 920 00:47:17,480 --> 00:47:19,240 game, I was like, OK, I'm going to land. 921 00:47:19,240 --> 00:47:21,120 I'm going to see if I can land on all the planets and see 922 00:47:21,120 --> 00:47:23,400 what's going on with them. Then I noticed that a lot of 923 00:47:23,400 --> 00:47:26,160 them were just descriptions of these different planets and 924 00:47:26,160 --> 00:47:28,800 stuff, which was cool. I loved the sci-fi aspects of 925 00:47:28,800 --> 00:47:31,480 that. Then I landed on one that was 926 00:47:31,480 --> 00:47:33,440 like, yeah, you can run around on this one. 927 00:47:33,560 --> 00:47:36,920 I was like, cool, so I land getting my vehicle, I'm driving 928 00:47:36,920 --> 00:47:39,200 around aimlessly and I see like this. 929 00:47:39,200 --> 00:47:41,920 It was a distress beacon. I know that's what it was. 930 00:47:41,920 --> 00:47:45,400 I got a distressed beacon, so I'm just like puddling around 931 00:47:45,440 --> 00:47:47,160 and I could start approaching this thing like, oh, the 932 00:47:47,160 --> 00:47:48,840 distressed beacon is coming from this direction. 933 00:47:49,120 --> 00:47:53,080 I'm robbing space worm shooting shit at me. 934 00:47:53,080 --> 00:47:56,880 I'm like Oh my God. So it fucked me up because I 935 00:47:57,080 --> 00:48:00,880 panicked and completely forgot how to steer the vehicle right. 936 00:48:00,880 --> 00:48:04,520 So I guys got fucked up. I loaded back in, went back in 937 00:48:04,520 --> 00:48:06,760 there and made that thing eat its own Dick. 938 00:48:06,920 --> 00:48:10,320 But that first time, I was just not expected. 939 00:48:10,320 --> 00:48:12,280 I was just like, what the fuck is this? 940 00:48:12,280 --> 00:48:15,120 Tremors? And then, yeah, I got I got 941 00:48:15,120 --> 00:48:17,360 fucked up. That's one of my favorite side 942 00:48:17,360 --> 00:48:19,040 quests. Oh yeah, me too. 943 00:48:20,200 --> 00:48:23,120 Yeah, because if you don't know the threshold was coming, it's 944 00:48:23,120 --> 00:48:25,720 so fucking great. Even if it's just a random 945 00:48:25,720 --> 00:48:30,160 planet, it's just like there there's a like an anomaly or 946 00:48:30,160 --> 00:48:33,160 something like that. It the map doesn't tell you, it 947 00:48:33,160 --> 00:48:36,320 just basically says there's something here or here. 948 00:48:36,320 --> 00:48:40,600 So if you arrive at a location, a random threshold could appear. 949 00:48:40,760 --> 00:48:43,720 Those things, man, they that thing was not joking around. 950 00:48:43,880 --> 00:48:45,760 So I no longer landed on planets Willy nilly. 951 00:48:46,840 --> 00:48:50,400 Well, let's just say what about the Thresher Mall? 952 00:48:50,520 --> 00:48:53,000 We'll get there. Fair enough, fair enough. 953 00:48:53,360 --> 00:48:58,320 So let's talk about some combat. Wasn't the best combat I've ever 954 00:48:58,320 --> 00:48:59,880 played. Wasn't the worst combat I've 955 00:48:59,880 --> 00:49:02,520 ever played. It was very blatant. 956 00:49:03,200 --> 00:49:04,920 It's basic. It's very basic. 957 00:49:05,400 --> 00:49:07,320 I understand that, like people always like. 958 00:49:07,320 --> 00:49:10,200 What I always hear is that Mass Effect gets really good at #2 959 00:49:10,360 --> 00:49:11,520 right? The gameplay just comes 960 00:49:11,520 --> 00:49:12,720 together. They really got their shit 961 00:49:12,720 --> 00:49:15,760 together with #2 and I look forward to that because like I 962 00:49:15,760 --> 00:49:17,760 said, the best part about this game was the story and I'm 963 00:49:17,760 --> 00:49:20,000 really looking forward to seeing what happens more with that. 964 00:49:20,000 --> 00:49:23,960 But holy shit, I hope combat is not as stiff because I just felt 965 00:49:23,960 --> 00:49:26,560 like, and you know, both of you I'm sure can comment on this, 966 00:49:26,560 --> 00:49:29,120 some of the enemies, like I just felt like bullets. 967 00:49:29,240 --> 00:49:31,440 They just ate them for no reason. 968 00:49:31,920 --> 00:49:35,560 So there's a reason why I skipped #1 so much. 969 00:49:35,640 --> 00:49:37,480 And the combat is the main reason. 970 00:49:38,440 --> 00:49:42,040 I even had to Google about whether there were dice rolls 971 00:49:42,040 --> 00:49:45,280 going on in the background for this combat because it felt like 972 00:49:45,280 --> 00:49:48,600 I was playing Fallout 3 or Co Tour and there's not. 973 00:49:48,720 --> 00:49:52,680 But apparently there's stats going on because, yeah, very 974 00:49:52,680 --> 00:49:54,560 much the same. I was hitting this dude in the 975 00:49:54,560 --> 00:49:59,040 head a million times and it just wasn't making making a dent at 976 00:49:59,040 --> 00:50:01,880 all. Which coming from like some of 977 00:50:01,880 --> 00:50:04,280 the more recent games I've played where you know, a few 978 00:50:04,280 --> 00:50:07,240 well placed shots to the head puts down an enemy and some of 979 00:50:07,240 --> 00:50:10,560 these dudes, it was like, man, you should have no face by now. 980 00:50:10,800 --> 00:50:14,680 None your your head should be a remnant of what was. 981 00:50:14,840 --> 00:50:17,720 But they still came coming. Those goddamn geth. 982 00:50:18,120 --> 00:50:22,160 One thing I do appreciate with the combat, even as basic and 983 00:50:22,160 --> 00:50:26,200 bland as it is, it does allow the option of upgrades. 984 00:50:26,200 --> 00:50:31,840 And I do appreciate how you can find multiple weapons on from 985 00:50:31,840 --> 00:50:34,320 combat or you could purchase them from a vendor. 986 00:50:34,480 --> 00:50:39,320 And not only that, you you're able to buy upgrades to go along 987 00:50:39,320 --> 00:50:41,760 with that weapon. So it could it completely 988 00:50:41,760 --> 00:50:46,040 changes your shot or it benefits you in multiple ways. 989 00:50:46,360 --> 00:50:51,840 I hate, I hate to admit this. I think I was like on the planet 990 00:50:51,840 --> 00:50:55,280 before last before I figured out, oh, all those things I've 991 00:50:55,280 --> 00:50:57,680 been picking over weapons mods. Oh, let me attach these and see 992 00:50:57,680 --> 00:51:00,120 what they do, like change the game. 993 00:51:00,440 --> 00:51:03,560 But yeah, I went for a long time without that. 994 00:51:03,560 --> 00:51:07,040 So I was just really trying to just raise my stats for my 995 00:51:07,040 --> 00:51:09,760 assault rival or whatever, you know, trying to, oh man, it was 996 00:51:09,800 --> 00:51:12,440 just. Well one thing I figured out at 997 00:51:12,440 --> 00:51:16,120 the end of a my last playthrough is I figured out the perfect 998 00:51:16,120 --> 00:51:21,320 combinations where my assault rifle never overheated and my 999 00:51:21,400 --> 00:51:24,000 sniper rifle was a one hit killer. 1000 00:51:24,960 --> 00:51:29,640 It's just a matter of what combos and mods you're putting 1001 00:51:29,640 --> 00:51:31,000 in with that weapon. What? 1002 00:51:31,000 --> 00:51:32,920 The ones from No. No, no, please. 1003 00:51:33,000 --> 00:51:35,600 Go ahead, I was just going to say the ones from that Spectre 1004 00:51:35,600 --> 00:51:38,680 requisition store at the very start of the game on the Citadel 1005 00:51:39,240 --> 00:51:41,800 have the best weapons in the game if you can afford them. 1006 00:51:42,160 --> 00:51:45,600 Which I did. Yeah, what classes did y'all 1007 00:51:45,600 --> 00:51:47,200 roll with? I just went soldier. 1008 00:51:48,040 --> 00:51:51,480 I went infiltrator because and I went, go ahead, go ahead. 1009 00:51:51,480 --> 00:51:53,720 I'm sorry. Yeah, I went blame bitch soldier 1010 00:51:53,720 --> 00:51:57,640 as well. I went infiltrator just because 1011 00:51:59,200 --> 00:52:03,920 it was a heavier perk towards sniper rifle and stealth. 1012 00:52:03,920 --> 00:52:06,440 It's just like oh sniper rifle, that's me. 1013 00:52:06,720 --> 00:52:12,160 Because every game I'm in or I play, I always loved sniping. 1014 00:52:12,240 --> 00:52:18,560 Borderlands, Serious Sam, whatever game allows me to have 1015 00:52:18,560 --> 00:52:21,560 a sniper rifle, I am using a sniper rifle. 1016 00:52:21,760 --> 00:52:23,960 Did you get this week's free Epic Games? 1017 00:52:24,080 --> 00:52:25,520 Because one of them is a sniping game. 1018 00:52:25,800 --> 00:52:26,840 I have not. It is. 1019 00:52:26,840 --> 00:52:29,680 I actually haven't. I haven't been on Epic in so 1020 00:52:29,680 --> 00:52:32,600 long. OK, well it's sniper Ghost 1021 00:52:32,640 --> 00:52:35,640 warrior contracts or something like that, so it might interest 1022 00:52:35,640 --> 00:52:40,640 you if you're into sniping. But so I went soldier and I 1023 00:52:40,640 --> 00:52:42,760 learned something again watching that salt pack. 1024 00:52:42,760 --> 00:52:44,640 So I miss. I played through this entire 1025 00:52:44,640 --> 00:52:46,520 game world credits and I missed so fucking much of it. 1026 00:52:46,520 --> 00:52:50,200 I am so shocked. Right the salt factory video I 1027 00:52:50,200 --> 00:52:54,680 realized that there are like prestige classes of sort No idea 1028 00:52:54,680 --> 00:52:59,400 beat the whole fucking game as a soldier never upgraded to any of 1029 00:52:59,400 --> 00:53:01,840 the the shit that was the the better classes. 1030 00:53:01,840 --> 00:53:04,360 I I feel like a dummy. I feel like I how did I get 1031 00:53:04,360 --> 00:53:06,200 through this whole game and miss so much I don't understand. 1032 00:53:06,400 --> 00:53:08,800 It sounds to me like you need to have another playthrough. 1033 00:53:08,920 --> 00:53:11,680 I really like at this point, at the after I watched that video, 1034 00:53:11,680 --> 00:53:14,240 I'm like, there's a whole other part of this game that I could 1035 00:53:14,240 --> 00:53:16,440 play through and see for the first time. 1036 00:53:16,440 --> 00:53:19,560 That's wild to me. Because this game is not long 1037 00:53:19,920 --> 00:53:23,400 even my first play this recent playthrough which I found out 1038 00:53:23,400 --> 00:53:27,680 the missions I never did, so it adds like a little bit extra to 1039 00:53:27,680 --> 00:53:30,440 it. I still beat it within 25 to 30 1040 00:53:30,440 --> 00:53:30,960 hours. I. 1041 00:53:31,240 --> 00:53:34,640 Think how long to beat the golden path is like 17 hours. 1042 00:53:35,000 --> 00:53:38,680 Yeah, I skipped a lot of combat and I was for not combat, sorry, 1043 00:53:38,680 --> 00:53:41,600 dialogue in the first half of the game because I just 1044 00:53:41,760 --> 00:53:45,080 remembered it. I ended with 14 hours. 1045 00:53:45,800 --> 00:53:48,200 So yeah, it's definitely doable. Like, you know, you got a, you 1046 00:53:48,200 --> 00:53:49,520 got a weekend that you want to kill. 1047 00:53:49,520 --> 00:53:51,560 You could knock out in that Mass Effect for sure. 1048 00:53:52,080 --> 00:53:54,960 Well, when I was just going to say when I was getting married 1049 00:53:54,960 --> 00:53:58,600 and I had two weeks off, I beat the first Mass Effect game in 1050 00:53:58,600 --> 00:54:01,560 probably 2-3 days. I just could not stop playing 1051 00:54:01,560 --> 00:54:02,640 it. I just like it. 1052 00:54:02,640 --> 00:54:04,920 It hooked me. And I believe two and three are 1053 00:54:04,920 --> 00:54:06,600 much longer games. Correct they are. 1054 00:54:06,840 --> 00:54:08,520 Yeah. Well, to me, it's almost like 1055 00:54:08,520 --> 00:54:09,960 this one was like a proof of concept. 1056 00:54:09,960 --> 00:54:12,400 They were like, we know we have a cool story, let's show the 1057 00:54:12,400 --> 00:54:16,400 people and then if it warrants a sequel, then we'll have money to 1058 00:54:16,400 --> 00:54:18,800 put into it. Then we can really see what we 1059 00:54:18,800 --> 00:54:20,240 can do. That's the way I look at it, at 1060 00:54:20,240 --> 00:54:22,120 least. Well, another great thing is 1061 00:54:22,120 --> 00:54:25,240 what what you just said. This was a proof of concept and 1062 00:54:25,240 --> 00:54:28,760 yet here here's bio Ware at all its writers. 1063 00:54:28,960 --> 00:54:32,200 Now we're not going to go get go through all this lore because 1064 00:54:32,200 --> 00:54:34,920 there's there's so much of it. There's no point to it. 1065 00:54:35,160 --> 00:54:38,720 So this is actually my only recommended shout out if you 1066 00:54:38,720 --> 00:54:40,080 want to listen to this kind of stuff. 1067 00:54:40,440 --> 00:54:45,360 It's called Mass Effect Lore Cast and that's if you want to 1068 00:54:45,360 --> 00:54:49,920 listen to all the different like an hour long podcast of them 1069 00:54:49,920 --> 00:54:54,200 talking about the Krogan or what happened during the rec night 1070 00:54:54,200 --> 00:54:58,000 wars, which is stuff that they they will go through in heavy 1071 00:54:58,000 --> 00:55:00,200 detail. I strongly recommend it. 1072 00:55:00,400 --> 00:55:03,400 Wasn't that that podcast is done by now, right? 1073 00:55:03,400 --> 00:55:06,960 Because it wasn't that the the fallout morecast people. 1074 00:55:07,360 --> 00:55:09,640 And it's all made by the same guy. 1075 00:55:09,880 --> 00:55:12,760 OK. I think it's still going like 1076 00:55:12,760 --> 00:55:15,040 three years. I just started and he started 1077 00:55:15,040 --> 00:55:17,640 like 3 years ago so. OK, OK. 1078 00:55:17,640 --> 00:55:19,880 Then I'm thinking of a different show that was covering mass. 1079 00:55:19,880 --> 00:55:21,400 You know what? No, it was Dragon Age. 1080 00:55:21,400 --> 00:55:24,920 And I'm thinking of same company, BioWare, but different 1081 00:55:24,920 --> 00:55:27,640 game. There used to be the Dragon Age 1082 00:55:27,640 --> 00:55:29,920 lower cast back in the day. That one was a fun one. 1083 00:55:31,080 --> 00:55:32,760 Yeah. So do you boys want to talk a 1084 00:55:32,760 --> 00:55:34,480 little bit about the the story stuff? 1085 00:55:34,480 --> 00:55:36,200 Did either of you have? Any more talk about combat? 1086 00:55:36,720 --> 00:55:39,760 Well, if we're talking about the negative still, I'm going to 1087 00:55:39,760 --> 00:55:42,560 give you my biggest complaint about this game. 1088 00:55:42,960 --> 00:55:44,000 It is. It is. 1089 00:55:44,000 --> 00:55:45,960 It's repetitiveness. Yeah. 1090 00:55:46,120 --> 00:55:49,680 And that's, it's something that Dalton you didn't quite get 1091 00:55:49,680 --> 00:55:53,240 because he didn't do a lot of site missions, but you go to 1092 00:55:53,240 --> 00:55:57,840 locations and there's literally only maybe 2 do formatted 1093 00:55:57,840 --> 00:56:01,640 locations for when you're going inside, like either a bunker or 1094 00:56:01,640 --> 00:56:04,440 a cave. It's all the same layout. 1095 00:56:04,800 --> 00:56:07,200 So eventually it's just like doing all these missions again. 1096 00:56:07,440 --> 00:56:10,640 OK, I got to go here. Oh, it's the same layout. 1097 00:56:10,640 --> 00:56:14,040 You know, it's all the missions are very repetitive. 1098 00:56:14,600 --> 00:56:18,320 But it does help when there's when there's dialogue to help 1099 00:56:18,320 --> 00:56:20,960 push it. That was one thing I saw in that 1100 00:56:20,960 --> 00:56:25,280 Salt Factory video, the actually the prestige class quest he said 1101 00:56:25,280 --> 00:56:27,160 was one of the most annoying quests in the game because you 1102 00:56:27,160 --> 00:56:29,600 have to go to this planet and there are like these three big 1103 00:56:29,600 --> 00:56:31,320 bunker things. You have to go into one. 1104 00:56:31,640 --> 00:56:34,280 There are these robots who can one shot you with like a missile 1105 00:56:34,280 --> 00:56:36,000 launcher type thing. You got to get past them, 1106 00:56:36,440 --> 00:56:39,880 destroy all of these conduits, which he said took like 17 1107 00:56:39,880 --> 00:56:42,000 pistol shots because he didn't want to. 1108 00:56:42,000 --> 00:56:43,680 I guess he was, I don't know why he was just using his pistol, 1109 00:56:43,680 --> 00:56:44,760 but he was just shooting with a pistol. 1110 00:56:45,640 --> 00:56:47,600 And then he said, OK, so you get done with that one. 1111 00:56:47,600 --> 00:56:50,400 Then you realize, Oh no, you, you have to go do that with the 1112 00:56:50,400 --> 00:56:52,600 other two as well. And then you go on the other two 1113 00:56:52,640 --> 00:56:54,880 and they're the exact same. You go through and you do the 1114 00:56:54,880 --> 00:56:58,040 exact same thing, except the third one puts up more Shields. 1115 00:56:58,120 --> 00:56:59,440 So you have to shoot through more Shields. 1116 00:56:59,440 --> 00:57:01,480 So it just takes longer for you to do the same thing. 1117 00:57:01,480 --> 00:57:03,240 And I'm like, that sounds fucking miserable. 1118 00:57:03,800 --> 00:57:07,720 There's another one for you're trying to find this Admiral and 1119 00:57:07,720 --> 00:57:10,320 it's the same exact thing where you have to go to three separate 1120 00:57:10,320 --> 00:57:13,000 locations. You defeat the first location. 1121 00:57:13,240 --> 00:57:17,160 It's it might as well be. Oh, sorry, sorry, Mario. 1122 00:57:17,320 --> 00:57:19,920 The the Princess is in another castle. 1123 00:57:20,400 --> 00:57:23,480 Sorry Shepherd, the the Admiral is in another bunker. 1124 00:57:23,760 --> 00:57:25,640 Man, yeah, that would annoy. That would have annoyed this 1125 00:57:25,640 --> 00:57:27,240 shit. Maybe I'm kind of glad I golden 1126 00:57:27,240 --> 00:57:29,880 past this because I just got the main bits of the story and 1127 00:57:29,880 --> 00:57:34,000 really enjoyed it. Yeah, but at the same time, now 1128 00:57:34,000 --> 00:57:36,840 you're not developing a relationship with your squad 1129 00:57:36,840 --> 00:57:40,520 mates and then you're not getting the extra things you 1130 00:57:40,520 --> 00:57:45,200 need to help actually flesh out how great these characters are, 1131 00:57:45,200 --> 00:57:48,880 Which I guess could be a good said segue in talking about 1132 00:57:49,680 --> 00:57:54,600 talking about everyone, because I'll start off, I love every 1133 00:57:54,720 --> 00:57:58,120 every one of these characters. Kaden, in my personal opinion, 1134 00:57:58,120 --> 00:58:00,720 might be the worst, but he's not a terrible character. 1135 00:58:00,720 --> 00:58:04,440 He's just kind of boring. But everyone else, they're 1136 00:58:04,880 --> 00:58:06,920 they're wonderful. I absolutely love them. 1137 00:58:07,040 --> 00:58:09,360 Spoilers from here on outlet me. Just go ahead and throw that out 1138 00:58:09,360 --> 00:58:11,240 there for the story. Spoilers from here on out 1139 00:58:11,240 --> 00:58:13,560 because I do have a question I'm going to ask about that. 1140 00:58:13,560 --> 00:58:18,640 But Adam, what about you? So again, this being a revisit 1141 00:58:18,640 --> 00:58:23,640 for me and keeping in mind how great the other two games are, I 1142 00:58:23,640 --> 00:58:28,440 thought the writing in this one was fairly subpar compared to 1143 00:58:28,440 --> 00:58:32,080 the other iterations in the trilogy, of course. 1144 00:58:32,080 --> 00:58:35,560 But yeah, there's a lack of depth I think. 1145 00:58:35,680 --> 00:58:38,880 Like you can find out everything you need from your squad mates 1146 00:58:38,880 --> 00:58:42,240 between those main missions that you were talking about Dalton. 1147 00:58:43,280 --> 00:58:46,880 So if you just go in and talk to them and the conversations 1148 00:58:46,880 --> 00:58:49,160 aren't very long, they're probably only about 3 or 4 1149 00:58:49,160 --> 00:58:52,360 dialogue trees or dialogue paths that you can take each 1150 00:58:52,360 --> 00:58:54,800 conversation. Overall, the characters are 1151 00:58:54,800 --> 00:58:59,680 good. Kaden I thought had more depth 1152 00:58:59,680 --> 00:59:05,240 to him than some of the others, Ashley just annoyed the fuck out 1153 00:59:05,240 --> 00:59:10,680 of me and the aliens were great. That was my squad rolling 1154 00:59:10,680 --> 00:59:12,720 forward. Rex and Garris were it was the 1155 00:59:12,720 --> 00:59:14,680 bro squad. I did that a lot. 1156 00:59:14,680 --> 00:59:16,280 Anytime you know what, I'm funny. 1157 00:59:16,560 --> 00:59:18,880 We're like, I'm playing a video game. 1158 00:59:19,000 --> 00:59:21,240 It does not matter. But if I'm going into a 1159 00:59:21,240 --> 00:59:23,960 situation in a video game where it's going to be very, very 1160 00:59:23,960 --> 00:59:28,040 intense and I have the option to bring my choice of party 1161 00:59:28,040 --> 00:59:31,760 members, I almost always roll all dudes because, and it's not 1162 00:59:31,760 --> 00:59:35,160 for any reason sexist reason other than like, I don't want my 1163 00:59:35,160 --> 00:59:38,400 wife who's to get hurt. It's so stupid because it's a 1164 00:59:38,400 --> 00:59:40,240 fucking video game. But I'm like, no, no, no, I need 1165 00:59:40,240 --> 00:59:42,040 to protect y'all. We're going to go in here and 1166 00:59:42,040 --> 00:59:44,840 take all this ass whooping. I need you guys to be safe. 1167 00:59:45,960 --> 00:59:48,120 It doesn't help that they usually have the strongest 1168 00:59:48,120 --> 00:59:51,480 armor, right? So let me just go ahead and 1169 00:59:51,480 --> 00:59:54,360 throw it out there. I love Garris, I love Rex, I 1170 00:59:54,360 --> 00:59:56,280 love Talia. I think it was her name Talia. 1171 00:59:56,640 --> 00:59:58,240 Tali. Tali, what am I thinking? 1172 00:59:58,240 --> 00:59:59,760 Talia al Ghoul is what I'm thinking of. 1173 01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:02,520 Yeah. Tali, I really like them. 1174 01:00:04,240 --> 01:00:06,440 Blue girl Liara, I'm so bad with names. 1175 01:00:06,480 --> 01:00:07,680 Thank you. Liara. 1176 01:00:08,600 --> 01:00:11,560 She was all right. I wanted more from her, but I 1177 01:00:11,560 --> 01:00:14,440 think I should have talked to her more like, But every time I 1178 01:00:14,440 --> 01:00:16,520 talk to her, she was like, oh, I have a headache, I need to lie 1179 01:00:16,520 --> 01:00:19,280 down and Oh my God, that's what they always tell me Jesus is. 1180 01:00:21,120 --> 01:00:28,000 But anyway, Kaden, Oh, I just made my mic pop Kaden I, I kept 1181 01:00:28,000 --> 01:00:32,280 him alive. Ashley kind of came off to me. 1182 01:00:32,280 --> 01:00:34,640 Like the people that I live around here in the South. 1183 01:00:34,760 --> 01:00:38,160 I don't know about like I like, OK, one of my like, I won't say 1184 01:00:38,160 --> 01:00:39,560 my neighbors because my neighbors are actually nice 1185 01:00:39,560 --> 01:00:41,800 people, But like one of the people who live in my town, 1186 01:00:41,800 --> 01:00:44,640 Let's just say that they happen to, but alien races are now a 1187 01:00:44,640 --> 01:00:46,320 thing. They're going to be like, I 1188 01:00:46,320 --> 01:00:48,200 don't trust these God damn aliens. 1189 01:00:48,520 --> 01:00:52,520 They're out here trying to take our jobs and I I think they're 1190 01:00:52,520 --> 01:00:53,800 going to take over the human race. 1191 01:00:53,800 --> 01:00:57,360 I think we should all wear pinfold hats and we should be 1192 01:00:57,360 --> 01:00:59,800 scared of these aliens. And I think that, you know, 1193 01:01:00,040 --> 01:01:02,640 these aliens are not here to make the country great again. 1194 01:01:02,840 --> 01:01:05,080 And I just, I just, I'm against them. 1195 01:01:05,080 --> 01:01:07,280 And I think that that is how they would react to it. 1196 01:01:07,280 --> 01:01:10,000 That is the vibe that I got from Ashley where she's like, I don't 1197 01:01:10,000 --> 01:01:12,880 trust aliens, bitch. Then what the fuck are you in 1198 01:01:12,880 --> 01:01:17,520 the space fleet for? To be fair, I actually kept 1199 01:01:17,520 --> 01:01:21,400 Ashley alive because everyone is just like all Ashley is a racist 1200 01:01:21,400 --> 01:01:23,560 fuck Ashley. I'm just like oh I'm going to go 1201 01:01:23,560 --> 01:01:26,200 against the curve. I'm going to keep her alive. 1202 01:01:27,000 --> 01:01:31,920 There is so much there is a reason why she is the way she 1203 01:01:31,920 --> 01:01:35,120 is. It's basically because we have 1204 01:01:35,120 --> 01:01:39,400 to in turn, in context of the story, humans have only been 1205 01:01:39,440 --> 01:01:44,440 dealt with these alien races and a citadel for 26 years, whereas 1206 01:01:44,440 --> 01:01:48,440 all these other races have been around for millennia, hundreds 1207 01:01:48,440 --> 01:01:51,800 of years, millennia. And actually, when we when we, 1208 01:01:53,760 --> 01:01:57,280 I, I know I shouldn't because the lore cast will do a much 1209 01:01:57,280 --> 01:02:00,560 better job of explaining it. But if I'm just going to keep it 1210 01:02:00,560 --> 01:02:05,080 as simple as possible, we when we discovered the mass relays, 1211 01:02:05,280 --> 01:02:10,360 we opened a relay that was forbidden and the turians came 1212 01:02:10,360 --> 01:02:14,680 in basically thinking, who the hell are these guys that are 1213 01:02:14,680 --> 01:02:17,600 just, they don't understand the galactic law. 1214 01:02:17,800 --> 01:02:20,600 We're going to we're going to kill them. 1215 01:02:20,800 --> 01:02:25,800 So in reality and in the in the game, the turians fired first. 1216 01:02:26,320 --> 01:02:30,560 So that's why they look down on humans so poorly. 1217 01:02:30,720 --> 01:02:34,320 And that's why, Ashley, that's why Ashley's attitude makes so 1218 01:02:34,320 --> 01:02:38,320 much sense. OK, yeah, the, the, the only 1219 01:02:38,320 --> 01:02:41,080 reason that the Tyrians and humans aren't at war is because 1220 01:02:41,080 --> 01:02:42,720 the council stepped in and stopped it. 1221 01:02:42,840 --> 01:02:46,280 And that's also part of the motivation behind one of our 1222 01:02:46,280 --> 01:02:50,040 villains that you don't actually find out it's in a prequel novel 1223 01:02:51,160 --> 01:02:55,320 was that Sarin's brother was killed by a human in the First 1224 01:02:55,320 --> 01:02:58,560 Contact War, which is what Jeff was talking about there, which 1225 01:02:58,560 --> 01:03:02,440 is the start, which is what led him down the path that he takes 1226 01:03:02,440 --> 01:03:06,360 in the game. Oh, OK, I learned I learned some 1227 01:03:06,400 --> 01:03:08,440 shit about Sarin too from that video that I watched. 1228 01:03:08,440 --> 01:03:11,720 But I'll touch on that when we, you know, talk about him more. 1229 01:03:12,680 --> 01:03:19,480 The I'm not going to lie, I fucking hated the ambassador. 1230 01:03:19,600 --> 01:03:21,360 Like which one? What a bastard. 1231 01:03:21,360 --> 01:03:26,640 The white cloak motherfucker who I had my Admiral guy captain 1232 01:03:26,640 --> 01:03:29,880 punch in the fucking face, knock him the fuck out and take his 1233 01:03:29,880 --> 01:03:33,280 computer over later on in the. Game Udina Yeah, yeah, yeah. 1234 01:03:33,280 --> 01:03:35,200 That guy's a piece of shit. Yeah, fuck him. 1235 01:03:35,480 --> 01:03:37,680 Like there was one thing that sold Factory mentioned he said 1236 01:03:37,680 --> 01:03:39,920 at the end, and again, we were talking about spoilers. 1237 01:03:39,920 --> 01:03:42,040 So does my but at the end when you get to choose who gets to be 1238 01:03:42,040 --> 01:03:45,360 on the council, the dude who's helped you the entire time or 1239 01:03:45,360 --> 01:03:47,880 Dick head. So factories like who in their 1240 01:03:47,880 --> 01:03:51,600 right fucking mind would put Captain Dick head into the spot? 1241 01:03:51,600 --> 01:03:54,120 He's been nothing but a shit to you the entire game. 1242 01:03:54,120 --> 01:03:57,920 Meanwhile this dude and in his game took a bullet in the back 1243 01:03:58,120 --> 01:03:59,840 to get you off when you're grounded. 1244 01:03:59,840 --> 01:04:01,800 Where is it? Like in my game, he punched 1245 01:04:01,800 --> 01:04:04,800 homeboy. I chose the other path so it's 1246 01:04:04,800 --> 01:04:08,240 like who would make Unless you were going straight up asshole 1247 01:04:08,240 --> 01:04:11,480 run I guess. I think that might be the pure 1248 01:04:11,480 --> 01:04:14,360 renegade. OK, see, I think I ended up 1249 01:04:14,360 --> 01:04:18,400 somewhere not pure of each because I didn't get the cool 1250 01:04:18,400 --> 01:04:21,880 ending where I could have ended it with a just talking to Sarin. 1251 01:04:22,160 --> 01:04:25,320 I had to fight him twice, right? But it is cool that if you were 1252 01:04:25,320 --> 01:04:28,200 paragon enough, and again, I'm skipping way ahead, but it is, 1253 01:04:28,360 --> 01:04:30,200 it's cool to me that if you were paragon enough that in that 1254 01:04:30,200 --> 01:04:33,240 final battle, you can have a conversation with Sarin where he 1255 01:04:33,240 --> 01:04:36,080 basically tells you the reason that I've been doing what I'm 1256 01:04:36,080 --> 01:04:40,040 doing is because I know that this thing has control with me 1257 01:04:40,200 --> 01:04:43,120 and I'm trying to figure out how to get it to stop and it's 1258 01:04:43,120 --> 01:04:45,720 getting its controls deeper into me, yadda, yadda, yadda. 1259 01:04:45,720 --> 01:04:48,960 And Shepard talks sense into him and Sarin's like you're right 1260 01:04:48,960 --> 01:04:51,920 Shepard, thank you. Boom blows his own cap off. 1261 01:04:52,040 --> 01:04:54,480 But even then you got to fight him anyway because video games. 1262 01:04:54,480 --> 01:04:57,520 Going to video game like that would have been such an 1263 01:04:57,520 --> 01:05:00,640 emotional moment to end on. But they had to have a final 1264 01:05:00,640 --> 01:05:01,880 boss fight. Of course. 1265 01:05:02,080 --> 01:05:03,640 Like they just, they just had to. 1266 01:05:03,640 --> 01:05:07,680 And it's like man had to be like, I understand leaving that 1267 01:05:07,680 --> 01:05:10,400 fight there, but say if you went full Paragon, they could have 1268 01:05:10,400 --> 01:05:13,480 let that be an ending where he offed himself and almost like a 1269 01:05:13,480 --> 01:05:17,000 martyr for the good goodness of that ship no longer having 1270 01:05:17,000 --> 01:05:18,640 control of him. Sovereign. 1271 01:05:19,360 --> 01:05:19,920 Sovereign. Correct. 1272 01:05:21,600 --> 01:05:23,480 Yeah, a lot smaller than I thought it was going to be. 1273 01:05:23,560 --> 01:05:28,000 When I was thinking of this ship that was not really a ship. 1274 01:05:28,000 --> 01:05:29,720 It's kind of like a living entity, but almost a ship. 1275 01:05:29,720 --> 01:05:32,200 I was thinking along the lines of this ship that you and Willie 1276 01:05:32,200 --> 01:05:35,560 described in Free Space. There's this massive, bigger 1277 01:05:35,560 --> 01:05:37,240 than you can fucking imagine thing. 1278 01:05:37,240 --> 01:05:39,720 And then it came out and I was like, oh, OK, it's like a big 1279 01:05:39,720 --> 01:05:43,160 octopus. But, but to be fair, this site, 1280 01:05:43,360 --> 01:05:46,920 when you're looking at the rest of the other ships, they are, 1281 01:05:47,000 --> 01:05:51,680 they are dwarfed by this. It's spoiler, it's a Reaper. 1282 01:05:51,840 --> 01:05:52,800 It's a. It's a. 1283 01:05:53,320 --> 01:05:55,920 It is a proper Reaper. That's what I kind of figured. 1284 01:05:56,240 --> 01:06:00,520 Like I assumed that this ship was probably one of those things 1285 01:06:00,520 --> 01:06:02,840 that slipped through. I'm assuming maybe when the 1286 01:06:02,880 --> 01:06:05,000 humans opened up the ship that they weren't supposed to. 1287 01:06:05,680 --> 01:06:10,920 Well, again, this is stuff that the lore cast will just go 1288 01:06:10,920 --> 01:06:13,760 through so much better than we would ever do. 1289 01:06:13,960 --> 01:06:17,200 But it's one of the he's literally, he's an harbinger. 1290 01:06:17,400 --> 01:06:22,560 He's supposed to the the Citadel is a mass relay. 1291 01:06:22,840 --> 01:06:27,280 When he opens the Mass Relay or when he opens the Citadel, it's 1292 01:06:27,280 --> 01:06:30,280 supposed to allow the rest of the Reapers to start wreaking 1293 01:06:30,280 --> 01:06:33,760 havoc and the Galaxy. Yeah, coming through and and. 1294 01:06:34,360 --> 01:06:38,840 But but because you destroyed it, you you're just, you're 1295 01:06:38,840 --> 01:06:41,320 delaying the inevitable. That was the vibe that I got as 1296 01:06:41,360 --> 01:06:44,800 well, is that it was like, this is like putting a Band-Aid on a 1297 01:06:44,800 --> 01:06:47,680 situation. The shepherd says at the end, 1298 01:06:47,680 --> 01:06:51,920 it's just like I I have work to do because the war is coming and 1299 01:06:51,920 --> 01:06:53,960 that's what two and three are all about. 1300 01:06:54,120 --> 01:06:57,360 Now did, did y'all have any stand out missions? 1301 01:06:57,840 --> 01:06:59,680 Because I know, like one of the things that stood out to me 1302 01:06:59,680 --> 01:07:03,520 right at the beginning was the the introduction of sarin where 1303 01:07:03,520 --> 01:07:06,960 you think the one guy is going to be the Dick head. 1304 01:07:07,160 --> 01:07:09,280 And then no, he gets popped in the back of the head by the 1305 01:07:09,280 --> 01:07:14,000 actual Dick head. And it's like, oh, OK, well then 1306 01:07:14,480 --> 01:07:17,680 so I'm, I'm curious like because I have there was one planet that 1307 01:07:17,680 --> 01:07:19,680 I found more interesting than others, but I'm curious what you 1308 01:07:19,680 --> 01:07:22,040 guys thought. Adam, what about you first? 1309 01:07:22,200 --> 01:07:25,560 Yeah. Yeah, I've got a few, but I'll 1310 01:07:25,560 --> 01:07:29,520 keep it short. So depending on the background 1311 01:07:29,520 --> 01:07:32,920 that you choose, there's one called the War Hero, where 1312 01:07:32,920 --> 01:07:36,280 Shepherd is hailed as the hero from this battle called the 1313 01:07:36,280 --> 01:07:40,160 Scillian Blitz, in which a group, A terrorist group, was 1314 01:07:40,160 --> 01:07:43,760 going to essentially bomb Earth. And there's a small planet you 1315 01:07:43,760 --> 01:07:47,920 can find where I think it is just another generic distress 1316 01:07:47,920 --> 01:07:51,200 signal. They actually run into the dude 1317 01:07:51,560 --> 01:07:55,840 that was going to make or was behind the skillion blitz all 1318 01:07:55,840 --> 01:07:58,520 along and Shepherd gets to face off with him. 1319 01:08:00,040 --> 01:08:03,520 And the other one is one that you bring Kaden on. 1320 01:08:04,040 --> 01:08:08,520 And it's why I think he's not a real generic character, because 1321 01:08:08,520 --> 01:08:12,640 these biotics are holding a politician hostage because in 1322 01:08:12,720 --> 01:08:15,720 the military, and again, like Jeff said, the law cast can go 1323 01:08:15,720 --> 01:08:20,080 into this way better than I can. Kaden and a heap of other 1324 01:08:20,080 --> 01:08:23,160 soldiers were given this experimental biotic thing 1325 01:08:23,160 --> 01:08:26,080 implant to make them more powerful, to make super soldiers 1326 01:08:26,080 --> 01:08:29,080 essentially. And it, it fucked him up. 1327 01:08:29,120 --> 01:08:33,680 It left him with all sorts of problems, mental, physical, all 1328 01:08:33,680 --> 01:08:36,479 sorts of things, and the politics just swept it under the 1329 01:08:36,479 --> 01:08:38,680 rug. So this group of robotics holds 1330 01:08:38,680 --> 01:08:42,920 this politician hostage, and bringing Kaden along to that can 1331 01:08:42,920 --> 01:08:45,760 have a real interesting perspective because he's like, 1332 01:08:45,760 --> 01:08:49,640 well, now I'm with Shepherd, Ride or die, but I can see where 1333 01:08:49,640 --> 01:08:51,760 these guys are coming from because that's what happened to 1334 01:08:51,760 --> 01:08:53,840 me. I never consider doing it. 1335 01:08:53,840 --> 01:08:56,399 I know exactly what mission you're talking about, but I 1336 01:08:56,399 --> 01:08:58,520 never considered bringing Kaden with me. 1337 01:08:58,640 --> 01:09:02,640 Yeah. Oh, that's like, oh God, when I 1338 01:09:02,960 --> 01:09:07,080 when I did the mission with the the matriarch lady, I didn't. 1339 01:09:07,080 --> 01:09:08,880 And you probably have. Layara with me. 1340 01:09:08,880 --> 01:09:12,240 So like I didn't get to see any of that between those two. 1341 01:09:12,240 --> 01:09:15,600 I was like oh fuck, I knew I fucked up in that moment though. 1342 01:09:15,600 --> 01:09:18,000 It wasn't like I I beat the game and was like damn, I probably 1343 01:09:18,000 --> 01:09:19,880 missed out on a lot. Like I knew at that moment. 1344 01:09:19,880 --> 01:09:21,359 Shit, I should have brought her in my party. 1345 01:09:21,560 --> 01:09:23,800 My first playthrough actually quit. 1346 01:09:23,800 --> 01:09:27,560 One quick thing. Fun fact, do you know who voiced 1347 01:09:28,399 --> 01:09:30,680 Matriarch Benazia? Oh I feel like I should know 1348 01:09:30,680 --> 01:09:38,399 this. 5321 Marina Sertis Deanna Troi herself from Star Trek. 1349 01:09:39,319 --> 01:09:41,319 Oh nice, I never would have guessed that. 1350 01:09:42,080 --> 01:09:45,640 But so I know what mission you're talking about, that's the 1351 01:09:45,640 --> 01:09:51,040 planet Novaria. I didn't have Liara when my 1352 01:09:51,040 --> 01:09:53,600 first playthrough. I didn't have Liara in my group. 1353 01:09:54,400 --> 01:09:58,000 I had, I think I had Garris and Rex with me because, you know, 1354 01:09:58,440 --> 01:10:01,480 those guys are my boys. We're going to start some shit, 1355 01:10:02,120 --> 01:10:05,600 but I think Garris makes the recommendation. 1356 01:10:05,720 --> 01:10:08,320 Hey, we probably should bring Liara with us. 1357 01:10:08,520 --> 01:10:11,080 It's just like, you know what, that's a good recommendation. 1358 01:10:11,080 --> 01:10:13,680 I'm going to switch out Rex with Liara. 1359 01:10:13,680 --> 01:10:14,760 I. Should have done that. 1360 01:10:16,080 --> 01:10:18,080 Again, now the play through to short game. 1361 01:10:19,880 --> 01:10:23,600 But my favorite planet I you guys can correct me. 1362 01:10:23,600 --> 01:10:27,520 I think it was Wiermeyer where you show up and the colonists 1363 01:10:27,680 --> 01:10:30,880 are being controlled by a plant. Quote UN quote. 1364 01:10:31,360 --> 01:10:34,480 No, that is, that's Pharaohs. Oh, is it Pharaohs? 1365 01:10:34,480 --> 01:10:37,520 OK, I really enjoyed that one. It was a lot of running around 1366 01:10:37,520 --> 01:10:41,000 and doing the same shit over and over, but the story of it were 1367 01:10:41,000 --> 01:10:45,760 like, there was this thing and the fucking vault tech of this 1368 01:10:45,760 --> 01:10:48,960 world decides to bring in an entire colony to see. 1369 01:10:48,960 --> 01:10:51,080 Oh, where's for what the fuck's going to happen? 1370 01:10:51,080 --> 01:10:53,280 Let's see what happens. It's horrible. 1371 01:10:53,600 --> 01:10:54,640 It was awful. Yeah. 1372 01:10:56,240 --> 01:10:59,000 It's like, God damn dude. Like rich, rich scientific 1373 01:10:59,000 --> 01:11:01,280 people. I love science, but rich people 1374 01:11:01,280 --> 01:11:04,840 and science together sucks for the normal man, let's just put 1375 01:11:04,840 --> 01:11:07,040 it that way. But yeah, I know exactly what 1376 01:11:07,040 --> 01:11:08,960 mission you're talking about. That's when you're dealing with 1377 01:11:08,960 --> 01:11:11,000 the Thorian. That was the name of it, yeah. 1378 01:11:11,000 --> 01:11:13,640 The Thorian. And that thing, when you learn 1379 01:11:13,640 --> 01:11:17,040 what's going on, you're just like, oh, my God, these are some 1380 01:11:17,280 --> 01:11:20,720 terrible, terrible, greedy corporate assholes. 1381 01:11:20,880 --> 01:11:22,520 Yeah. You meet the one girl and she's 1382 01:11:22,520 --> 01:11:25,240 like, no, don't destroy it. All my Morgan hard research and 1383 01:11:25,240 --> 01:11:28,440 I was basically that was the one time I did a renegade option. 1384 01:11:28,480 --> 01:11:30,080 I was basically like, get the fuck out of here. 1385 01:11:30,080 --> 01:11:32,280 I'll kill you. Like what the fuck is wrong with 1386 01:11:32,280 --> 01:11:34,240 you? And she was like, man, ran off. 1387 01:11:34,240 --> 01:11:35,200 And I'm like, yeah, bitch, get out of. 1388 01:11:35,400 --> 01:11:38,600 Here I completely forgot to use my gas grenades on that mission 1389 01:11:38,760 --> 01:11:41,760 and I used regular grenades and killed all the colonists 1390 01:11:41,760 --> 01:11:45,720 accidentally. Yes, yes, the renegade of 1391 01:11:45,720 --> 01:11:51,000 Slaughter Adam. I've learned my lesson this 1392 01:11:51,000 --> 01:11:54,000 playthrough and I I made sure I had enough grenades. 1393 01:11:54,160 --> 01:11:58,120 Yeah, I did utilize grenades. I, I think I did get, I 1394 01:11:58,120 --> 01:12:02,120 accidentally popped one because he startled me and that's the 1395 01:12:02,120 --> 01:12:05,120 quickest way to get shot. Even if like you're on my team 1396 01:12:05,120 --> 01:12:07,920 and you just walk up next to me in my peripheral vision and I'm 1397 01:12:07,920 --> 01:12:11,040 like, oh God, bam, sorry. I feel like Dick Cheney. 1398 01:12:11,960 --> 01:12:15,120 But so you mentioned it, you mentioned the net plan of the 1399 01:12:15,480 --> 01:12:19,040 Vermeyer. So you guys made your decisions 1400 01:12:19,040 --> 01:12:23,760 that you kept Kaden alive. Yes, Adam, I'm assuming you were 1401 01:12:23,760 --> 01:12:26,280 a you got your paragon up high enough. 1402 01:12:26,480 --> 01:12:30,560 Or maybe you did the optional mission for Rex where you kept 1403 01:12:30,560 --> 01:12:33,040 him alive. Yeah, I did his armor quest this 1404 01:12:33,040 --> 01:12:35,840 time around because I was talking to him throughout 1405 01:12:36,800 --> 01:12:38,560 Dalton. I didn't even have a check. 1406 01:12:38,720 --> 01:12:43,200 Did you keep Rex alive? Yes, OK, I talked him out of it 1407 01:12:43,200 --> 01:12:45,120 in the beginning. Like that conversation where you 1408 01:12:45,120 --> 01:12:47,200 guys are sitting there and he pulls a gun on you and you're 1409 01:12:47,200 --> 01:12:50,320 like, whoa, whoa now, buddy. Like we let's talk about this. 1410 01:12:50,320 --> 01:12:54,800 And I convinced him that like, do you want your race to come 1411 01:12:54,800 --> 01:12:58,520 back but be subservient slaves? Because that's not really the 1412 01:12:58,520 --> 01:13:00,080 way that you want to do it, homeboy. 1413 01:13:00,400 --> 01:13:03,520 And he was like, you're right. Let's kill Sarin, that fucking 1414 01:13:03,520 --> 01:13:06,520 bastard. Well, it's, it's what we're 1415 01:13:06,520 --> 01:13:09,840 talking about is you can the we're talking about with the 1416 01:13:09,840 --> 01:13:12,480 battle Arbor, that's Rex's loyalty mission. 1417 01:13:12,720 --> 01:13:17,920 So if you succeed and bring him back his family battle armor, 1418 01:13:18,040 --> 01:13:21,840 when you get to that point, unless you are going full 1419 01:13:21,840 --> 01:13:25,120 renegade and just basically saying fuck the Krogan, it is a 1420 01:13:25,120 --> 01:13:27,680 guarantee that he's going to be kept alive. 1421 01:13:28,200 --> 01:13:30,920 Oh that's cool. Well I'm glad that I somehow 1422 01:13:30,920 --> 01:13:33,040 talked him into it then, since I missed that quest. 1423 01:13:34,000 --> 01:13:37,760 Well, like I said, because Rex is a great character and you see 1424 01:13:37,760 --> 01:13:40,560 how he progresses in the next two games. 1425 01:13:40,920 --> 01:13:42,920 Oh, he does stick around. Oh, good, good. 1426 01:13:42,920 --> 01:13:46,160 I'm glad not to spoil too much, but I'm very worried about one 1427 01:13:46,160 --> 01:13:47,800 particular mission in Mass Effect 2. 1428 01:13:47,960 --> 01:13:50,240 See, like, I know you guys didn't want to like spoil things 1429 01:13:50,240 --> 01:13:51,640 for me. I know all of this shit from 1430 01:13:51,640 --> 01:13:54,600 this this trilogy from just watching videos about it over 1431 01:13:54,600 --> 01:13:56,960 the years. But to play through it myself, 1432 01:13:57,040 --> 01:13:59,040 I'm real worried about that one mission. 1433 01:13:59,640 --> 01:14:02,640 There's one in particular. Everyone knows it. 1434 01:14:02,880 --> 01:14:07,520 Yeah, and I'm just like, man, man, I might have to like look 1435 01:14:07,520 --> 01:14:09,920 up a guide to make sure I don't make any wrong decisions. 1436 01:14:09,920 --> 01:14:11,960 But at the same time, I want it to happen organically. 1437 01:14:11,960 --> 01:14:14,320 I didn't use a guide with one, so I don't want to use a guide 1438 01:14:14,320 --> 01:14:16,840 for 2:00 and 3:00. But yeah, that's all I could say 1439 01:14:16,840 --> 01:14:23,760 is upgrade and just try to try to use logic when when doing it. 1440 01:14:23,960 --> 01:14:25,680 That's all I'm going to say. Fair enough. 1441 01:14:25,920 --> 01:14:26,840 Yeah, you'll be fine. Fair. 1442 01:14:27,200 --> 01:14:30,400 Enough couple couple other things that jump out to me. 1443 01:14:31,160 --> 01:14:34,840 One of the little side quests I did that made me giggle out loud 1444 01:14:35,000 --> 01:14:38,120 was on the Citadel and I'm running around and there is a 1445 01:14:39,200 --> 01:14:40,640 what's Garrus's race's name again? 1446 01:14:40,640 --> 01:14:42,320 I'm sorry. Tyrians. 1447 01:14:42,320 --> 01:14:45,280 Tyrians, there is a Tyrion arguing with what looks like a 1448 01:14:45,280 --> 01:14:49,560 brain with tentacles, right? And the the brain, I don't 1449 01:14:49,560 --> 01:14:52,480 remember that alien race, but he's basically trying to spread 1450 01:14:52,480 --> 01:14:54,520 his religion. And the Tyrians just like, 1451 01:14:54,520 --> 01:14:59,120 listen, shut the fuck up unless you go get a pass that allows 1452 01:14:59,120 --> 01:15:01,800 you to do this. Like you are breaking the law. 1453 01:15:01,800 --> 01:15:04,160 And he's like, I don't I should not have to pay you to spread 1454 01:15:04,160 --> 01:15:07,120 the religion of my, I don't know, the Mormon aliens or 1455 01:15:07,120 --> 01:15:09,160 whatever they are. Like, let me just spread this to 1456 01:15:09,160 --> 01:15:11,320 who? And the guy, So you shepherd 1457 01:15:11,320 --> 01:15:13,080 walks up. He's like, OK, everybody, calm 1458 01:15:13,080 --> 01:15:14,800 down. How can I defuse this situation? 1459 01:15:14,960 --> 01:15:16,960 Tell this. Tell this guy to let me spread 1460 01:15:16,960 --> 01:15:18,440 my stuff. He can't spread his stuff 1461 01:15:18,440 --> 01:15:20,440 without a permit. Can I buy his permit? 1462 01:15:20,600 --> 01:15:22,000 Yeah, sure. Here's the money. 1463 01:15:22,160 --> 01:15:24,280 OK. Tell the alien I will remember 1464 01:15:24,280 --> 01:15:25,040 this. Thank you. 1465 01:15:25,080 --> 01:15:27,760 I'm hoping that, like in Mass Effect 3, there's going to be a 1466 01:15:27,760 --> 01:15:29,640 big battle. And all of a sudden, just like a 1467 01:15:29,640 --> 01:15:32,840 flood of brain with tentacles come in, like we remember what 1468 01:15:32,840 --> 01:15:36,320 you did shepherd, and they just tentacle sting everyone like 1469 01:15:36,320 --> 01:15:37,560 tentacle. It'll be crazy. 1470 01:15:38,040 --> 01:15:40,360 Or they could come back and be like we took over the earth 1471 01:15:40,360 --> 01:15:42,920 because of you or her bad ending achieved. 1472 01:15:43,080 --> 01:15:47,080 I don't know. Again, Lorcast explains them. 1473 01:15:48,120 --> 01:15:52,960 Because they're not fighters, they try to live as polite as 1474 01:15:52,960 --> 01:15:55,840 possible. I I did meet one who wanted me 1475 01:15:55,840 --> 01:15:58,280 to sell guns illegally I'm pretty sure. 1476 01:15:58,840 --> 01:16:01,040 Tell you. But I didn't rat him out, though 1477 01:16:01,040 --> 01:16:03,200 I ain't no rat. And he did it in such a polite 1478 01:16:03,200 --> 01:16:04,720 way. He really did. 1479 01:16:04,720 --> 01:16:07,080 He's like, excuse me, if you have the time, could I have you 1480 01:16:07,080 --> 01:16:09,440 take these black market guns and sell them? 1481 01:16:09,440 --> 01:16:11,240 It is not allowed here. I do not want you to get in 1482 01:16:11,240 --> 01:16:12,920 trouble, but you seem to be capable. 1483 01:16:14,120 --> 01:16:15,480 Oh. That's how I tell you what. 1484 01:16:15,480 --> 01:16:17,640 I'll come back on that, man. Because at the time I'm like, 1485 01:16:17,640 --> 01:16:19,840 no, I want to be a good guy. And then there were just some 1486 01:16:19,840 --> 01:16:22,120 people that needed that asshole response. 1487 01:16:22,200 --> 01:16:26,600 And I feel like that's that's really where BioWare succeeds in 1488 01:16:26,600 --> 01:16:30,320 their choices in writing. But at the same time, at the 1489 01:16:30,320 --> 01:16:33,040 same time, this game suffers from something that a lot of 1490 01:16:33,040 --> 01:16:38,360 RPGs do with dialogue choices. And Jeff, I know you absolutely 1491 01:16:38,360 --> 01:16:42,040 detest LA Noire. And LA Noire is notorious for 1492 01:16:42,040 --> 01:16:44,000 this. There were certain responses 1493 01:16:44,000 --> 01:16:47,760 that I would give where it like until, until I realized that 1494 01:16:47,880 --> 01:16:51,800 upper was paragon, lower was renegade, middle was kind of 1495 01:16:51,800 --> 01:16:54,280 just in the middle or whatever. I was just choosing what I would 1496 01:16:54,280 --> 01:16:58,280 say in a conversation and it would be like disagree with 1497 01:16:58,280 --> 01:16:59,720 them. And I'd be like, yeah, you don't 1498 01:16:59,720 --> 01:17:01,400 really agree with that. I'm going to hit disagree with 1499 01:17:01,400 --> 01:17:02,560 them. And you click that and Shepherd 1500 01:17:02,560 --> 01:17:04,840 would be like, listen here, go fuck your mother and your 1501 01:17:04,840 --> 01:17:06,160 sister. I hope they die. 1502 01:17:06,160 --> 01:17:09,320 And you're like, whoa, what better? 1503 01:17:09,400 --> 01:17:12,640 That's like in, I think there's a mod in Skyrim for Skyrim to 1504 01:17:12,640 --> 01:17:15,880 give your replies what they're actually, no, not Skyrim. 1505 01:17:16,320 --> 01:17:18,480 Maybe it was a Dragon Age game. Fuck, I don't remember what game 1506 01:17:18,480 --> 01:17:20,400 it was, but there was a game I was playing that had dialogue 1507 01:17:20,400 --> 01:17:22,160 options. Oh, it was Fallout 4. 1508 01:17:22,440 --> 01:17:25,160 There's a mod that actually puts what your character is going to 1509 01:17:25,160 --> 01:17:29,280 say and then you can choose based because you don't get 1510 01:17:29,280 --> 01:17:33,120 these arbitrary like good, bad, indifferent choices that then 1511 01:17:33,120 --> 01:17:35,760 your character says something that you would never want your 1512 01:17:35,760 --> 01:17:39,040 character to say. And I think that's something 1513 01:17:39,040 --> 01:17:43,640 that Biowares notorious for. You're either a golden Angel on 1514 01:17:43,640 --> 01:17:49,440 the Paragon side, or you're like a world killer dominator on 1515 01:17:49,440 --> 01:17:51,760 Renegade. Like, yeah, it's very black or 1516 01:17:51,760 --> 01:17:56,280 white, and it's something that BioWare doesn't do the best of 1517 01:17:56,480 --> 01:17:58,560 throughout all their games. Even in Dragon Age, yeah. 1518 01:17:59,520 --> 01:18:04,320 My Shepherd, I played neutral because my background was you 1519 01:18:04,320 --> 01:18:06,360 guys. I think you what was your 1520 01:18:06,360 --> 01:18:09,440 backgrounds? There were three to choose from. 1521 01:18:09,440 --> 01:18:12,040 There was Sole Survivor, War Hero and Ruthless. 1522 01:18:12,680 --> 01:18:15,160 Which one were you guys? I want to say I did war hero. 1523 01:18:15,360 --> 01:18:16,240 Yeah, I did. War Hero. 1524 01:18:16,480 --> 01:18:21,240 I was ruthless. So my shepherd was basically 1525 01:18:21,240 --> 01:18:24,560 just playing it as neutral as possible where it's just like, 1526 01:18:24,800 --> 01:18:27,960 yeah, he'll give out some nice answers, but at the same time 1527 01:18:27,960 --> 01:18:32,560 it's like my shepherd will kill if it means that there will if 1528 01:18:32,560 --> 01:18:38,000 it's going to protect civilians. So it's I even though at the end 1529 01:18:38,000 --> 01:18:42,000 of the game my paragon was damn near through the roof, I still 1530 01:18:42,000 --> 01:18:46,160 made enough renegade decisions where it's just like it sort of 1531 01:18:46,160 --> 01:18:47,680 evened itself out. Word. 1532 01:18:48,200 --> 01:18:50,640 Up, gentlemen, Is there any other big things you want to 1533 01:18:50,640 --> 01:18:51,640 touch on? Like I know that like with the 1534 01:18:51,640 --> 01:18:54,280 overarching story, we can either like touch on that or we can 1535 01:18:54,280 --> 01:18:55,840 leave that for people to find for themselves. 1536 01:18:55,840 --> 01:18:59,040 That's kind of up to you guys. We've covered a good bit. 1537 01:18:59,040 --> 01:19:00,920 Is there anything else that really jumps out to you that you 1538 01:19:00,920 --> 01:19:03,040 wanted to touch on? Yeah, the romance. 1539 01:19:03,640 --> 01:19:04,560 Yes, that's right. Yes. 1540 01:19:05,000 --> 01:19:06,920 Yeah. I missed out on it completely so 1541 01:19:06,920 --> 01:19:09,680 I wasn't even thinking about it. So yes, please regale us with 1542 01:19:09,680 --> 01:19:13,600 titties, Sir. All right, so I romance Liara 1543 01:19:14,920 --> 01:19:18,080 because, and again, no, I won't say that. 1544 01:19:18,080 --> 01:19:22,960 Don't worry Cheese, one of the easier characters to romance. 1545 01:19:23,040 --> 01:19:28,440 I think it being a 2007 game the options are very very lacking 1546 01:19:28,600 --> 01:19:33,720 and they've locked it into CIS straight kind of romances. 1547 01:19:33,720 --> 01:19:38,000 So as a male shepherd you can only romance Liara and Ashley 1548 01:19:38,040 --> 01:19:41,400 and as female shepherd you can only romance Kaden and Liara 1549 01:19:41,800 --> 01:19:43,200 because it's already go for everyone. 1550 01:19:43,320 --> 01:19:46,080 I'm still disappointed this day. You can romance Talia's 1551 01:19:46,080 --> 01:19:49,320 shepherd, but I think there might have been some age stuff 1552 01:19:49,320 --> 01:19:51,040 there. I've forgotten how old Tali's 1553 01:19:51,040 --> 01:19:55,080 meant to be, but the fact that a male shepherd can't romance Tali 1554 01:19:55,080 --> 01:19:57,160 and the first one still irks me a little bit. 1555 01:19:57,160 --> 01:19:59,160 I learned a fun fact. I can understand why they did 1556 01:19:59,160 --> 01:20:00,480 it. Oh, sorry, I didn't mean to 1557 01:20:00,480 --> 01:20:01,320 interrupt. You. 1558 01:20:01,320 --> 01:20:03,120 Oh no, that's OK. I was just going to say I can 1559 01:20:03,160 --> 01:20:05,920 understand why they did it if Tali's meant to be underage or 1560 01:20:05,920 --> 01:20:08,320 whatever. Oh, I didn't realize that. 1561 01:20:08,600 --> 01:20:11,840 But yeah, I just think Liara falls for Shepherd way too 1562 01:20:11,840 --> 01:20:13,760 easily, at least in this first one. 1563 01:20:13,880 --> 01:20:18,000 And it's super easy to do. The romance and the sex scene is 1564 01:20:18,000 --> 01:20:19,560 not worth the controversy it got. 1565 01:20:21,720 --> 01:20:24,080 The video I watched today, or one of the things that he talked 1566 01:20:24,080 --> 01:20:27,440 about was the asari. And what I didn't realize again, 1567 01:20:27,440 --> 01:20:29,640 'cause I didn't really talk to her all that much other than, 1568 01:20:29,960 --> 01:20:34,440 you know, cutscene stuff, is that they're all gender neutral. 1569 01:20:35,080 --> 01:20:38,000 Like some of them refer to themselves as he, some of them 1570 01:20:38,000 --> 01:20:40,600 refer to themselves as she, but they all look like females. 1571 01:20:41,160 --> 01:20:46,160 And to reproduce, they basically just form a strong mental 1572 01:20:46,160 --> 01:20:49,360 connection with somebody and then their body produces a baby 1573 01:20:49,360 --> 01:20:52,960 inside of it. And I guess she was kind of an 1574 01:20:52,960 --> 01:20:55,680 outcast because both of her parents were sorry. 1575 01:20:55,680 --> 01:20:59,240 And that was like look down upon because I guess they want to 1576 01:20:59,240 --> 01:21:03,400 spread genes into other. Is that was that the whole the 1577 01:21:03,560 --> 01:21:05,640 concept of it? That's that's correct. 1578 01:21:05,640 --> 01:21:07,760 Yes. They being up what I think they 1579 01:21:07,760 --> 01:21:12,480 call pure blood is it's a great taboo because you're not 1580 01:21:12,480 --> 01:21:15,400 contributing to the advancement of the asari. 1581 01:21:15,520 --> 01:21:21,320 Whereas if you if you mate with another alien race, whatever 1582 01:21:21,360 --> 01:21:26,520 traits are come from that reproduction can then go into 1583 01:21:26,880 --> 01:21:31,640 not the asari as a whole, but that trait can then continue for 1584 01:21:31,760 --> 01:21:33,840 generations for generations. OK. 1585 01:21:34,680 --> 01:21:37,400 See, that's really cool to me. Like that is a cool sci-fi 1586 01:21:37,400 --> 01:21:44,520 concept like for sure. And the the whole just I'd still 1587 01:21:44,520 --> 01:21:49,160 fuck one like the Asaria pretty fine. 1588 01:21:49,280 --> 01:21:51,560 Even the green one that got spit out by the Thorian. 1589 01:21:51,640 --> 01:21:56,120 Thorian I was like meh would be slimy but would why not? 1590 01:21:56,560 --> 01:22:00,600 And I wish this game was more like Star Trek in that way, 1591 01:22:00,680 --> 01:22:03,760 because I think, and Jeff, correct me if I'm wrong here, 1592 01:22:03,760 --> 01:22:07,360 you don't actually sleep with the Consort if you complete her 1593 01:22:07,360 --> 01:22:10,160 quest. So there's only your one romance 1594 01:22:10,160 --> 01:22:13,600 option that you can seduce during the whole game, correct? 1595 01:22:13,600 --> 01:22:16,600 Yes, Shepherd needs to be. Shepherd needs to be like Kirk 1596 01:22:16,600 --> 01:22:17,960 and banging all the alien pitches. 1597 01:22:18,520 --> 01:22:21,800 Yeah, all that consulate consort does is just get. 1598 01:22:21,920 --> 01:22:23,840 Basically it gives you like a fortune cookie. 1599 01:22:24,440 --> 01:22:28,240 Oh, is that the Yeah, OK, the the chick who's like you have to 1600 01:22:28,240 --> 01:22:30,560 go and take care of what's her, What's his face? 1601 01:22:30,720 --> 01:22:33,680 There's she has like some sort of scandal that she wants taken 1602 01:22:33,680 --> 01:22:35,400 care of. It's like if you do this for me, 1603 01:22:35,640 --> 01:22:40,080 she implies like, I'm going to do something very wonderful for 1604 01:22:40,080 --> 01:22:43,120 you, something, you know, it's just like, oh, OK, here we go. 1605 01:22:43,320 --> 01:22:46,400 And and I was going to. Get a happy ending and I got to 1606 01:22:46,400 --> 01:22:48,720 just fortune tell. A fortune cookie is such a 1607 01:22:48,720 --> 01:22:50,920 thing, but. Yeah, I remember doing that 1608 01:22:50,920 --> 01:22:52,840 because, yeah, I had to go convince the general he wasn't a 1609 01:22:52,840 --> 01:22:55,120 big piece of shit. He was just drunk in the bar. 1610 01:22:56,360 --> 01:22:58,120 Listen, you're not. You're a commander, 1611 01:22:58,120 --> 01:22:59,320 motherfucker. Act like it. 1612 01:22:59,400 --> 01:23:01,040 He's like, you're damn right I am. 1613 01:23:01,200 --> 01:23:04,040 Like, damn right, soldier, get back out there. 1614 01:23:04,960 --> 01:23:08,960 Level up. That's a joke for the GRPG 1615 01:23:08,960 --> 01:23:10,280 report listeners. Hey. 1616 01:23:10,760 --> 01:23:12,520 Hey. PG Romance, Jeff. 1617 01:23:13,040 --> 01:23:16,160 A romance, Liara and I have to say, nice butt. 1618 01:23:17,440 --> 01:23:20,840 Oh I do fully plan on when I get to Mass Effect Two and three 1619 01:23:21,040 --> 01:23:23,280 using those mods that restore butt shots. 1620 01:23:24,680 --> 01:23:25,960 And it. Yeah, that's right. 1621 01:23:26,880 --> 01:23:32,440 They do allow more, they do allow more options in the later 1622 01:23:32,440 --> 01:23:36,400 games. It's just because Mass Effect 1 1623 01:23:36,400 --> 01:23:40,280 was just trying to get its foot in the door, trying to establish 1624 01:23:40,520 --> 01:23:43,360 everything. They just kept everything, 1625 01:23:43,360 --> 01:23:45,680 minimized everything. So that's why it's only just 1626 01:23:45,680 --> 01:23:52,320 Ashley Liara for male Shepherd and Kaden and Lee RFR fem ship. 1627 01:23:52,440 --> 01:23:55,360 I remember Rosie from PlayStation Access was talking 1628 01:23:55,360 --> 01:23:58,040 about Mass Effect and talking about how she was playing 1629 01:23:58,040 --> 01:24:00,600 through Mass Effect 2 and really wanted, I think she was trying 1630 01:24:00,600 --> 01:24:03,240 to romance Garris. I don't remember 100%, but she 1631 01:24:03,240 --> 01:24:04,680 was trying to romance one of the characters. 1632 01:24:04,680 --> 01:24:07,800 And then she ends up getting into a cutscene with Kaden and 1633 01:24:07,800 --> 01:24:10,360 she's like just trying to be nice to Kaden because she wants 1634 01:24:10,360 --> 01:24:12,720 the Paragon one and everything. And all of a sudden, like she 1635 01:24:12,720 --> 01:24:14,560 said that, they start kissing and she's like, Oh no, Kaden, 1636 01:24:14,560 --> 01:24:16,080 no, I don't like you like that. What are you doing? 1637 01:24:16,400 --> 01:24:18,520 And then all of a sudden her character and Kaden are getting 1638 01:24:18,520 --> 01:24:20,680 it on and she's like, no, it's not what I meant to do. 1639 01:24:22,200 --> 01:24:26,000 Well, that's on her because she she got too close with Kaden and 1640 01:24:26,000 --> 01:24:27,920 not not close enough with Garris. 1641 01:24:28,520 --> 01:24:31,040 Apparently so. And then Dave from PlayStation 1642 01:24:31,040 --> 01:24:33,520 Access, much like me, played through the entire trilogy. 1643 01:24:33,640 --> 01:24:35,240 I haven't done that yet, but he played through the entire 1644 01:24:35,240 --> 01:24:37,160 trilogy. Never got the option to romance 1645 01:24:37,200 --> 01:24:39,200 anyone. No one ever seemed interested in 1646 01:24:39,200 --> 01:24:42,880 his shepherd, which is just tremendous. 1647 01:24:42,960 --> 01:24:44,760 But yeah, there are there are certain aspects of this game 1648 01:24:44,760 --> 01:24:46,120 that I think could have improved for sure. 1649 01:24:46,120 --> 01:24:48,560 But like as the first in the series, like even this being a 1650 01:24:48,560 --> 01:24:53,360 remaster, like I think for it being a first game, it it set a 1651 01:24:53,360 --> 01:24:55,320 good foundation for things to come. 1652 01:24:55,560 --> 01:24:58,440 The same way I kind of feel about Dragon Age Origins story 1653 01:24:58,440 --> 01:25:00,440 is really good. But as far as gameplay wise, it 1654 01:25:00,440 --> 01:25:03,280 was laying a foundation for later Dragon Age games to kind 1655 01:25:03,280 --> 01:25:05,040 of improve on that. And I don't care what anybody 1656 01:25:05,040 --> 01:25:07,560 says, I like Dragon Age too. But you're absolutely right, 1657 01:25:07,560 --> 01:25:11,760 this is a great benchmark for how how to start the series. 1658 01:25:11,920 --> 01:25:14,520 And Dalton? This series only gets better 1659 01:25:14,520 --> 01:25:16,200 from here. Well, good. 1660 01:25:16,360 --> 01:25:19,120 Well, good. Let's do some final thoughts if 1661 01:25:19,120 --> 01:25:21,000 you have them, gentlemen. We can get into some ratings. 1662 01:25:21,000 --> 01:25:23,040 And then Jeff, you said you have a short little quiz. 1663 01:25:23,240 --> 01:25:25,120 I do. And then we have a couple 1664 01:25:25,120 --> 01:25:28,200 questions and then we can get on out of here and I'll tell 1665 01:25:28,200 --> 01:25:30,080 everybody what my pick for my next game is. 1666 01:25:31,200 --> 01:25:33,400 So, any final thoughts gentlemen, before we get into 1667 01:25:33,400 --> 01:25:36,080 ratings? I think we covered everything. 1668 01:25:36,080 --> 01:25:40,040 It's, it's, I think it's stuff that we'll get into while we 1669 01:25:40,040 --> 01:25:44,200 well when we do our ratings. OK well then I'm going to run 1670 01:25:44,200 --> 01:25:46,680 and take a quick piss if you 2 want to vent for a second about 1671 01:25:46,680 --> 01:25:48,800 some aspect and then we can get into ratings. 1672 01:25:48,840 --> 01:25:50,360 I'm literally about to pee my bands. 1673 01:25:52,520 --> 01:25:57,560 Well, then what? What should we continue on What? 1674 01:25:59,080 --> 01:26:01,440 Like what so? Had you had you go? 1675 01:26:01,760 --> 01:26:03,240 You first. I was just going to ask like 1676 01:26:03,240 --> 01:26:06,960 what mission did you like more, Pharaohs or Novaria? 1677 01:26:07,480 --> 01:26:10,240 Oh. Oh, actually, that's something 1678 01:26:10,240 --> 01:26:12,680 that we should probably wait for, Dalton. 1679 01:26:13,000 --> 01:26:16,280 But the wreck Night Queen, did you let her? 1680 01:26:17,040 --> 01:26:19,080 Did you let her go or did you kill her? 1681 01:26:19,360 --> 01:26:21,160 I'll let her go. I did as well. 1682 01:26:21,360 --> 01:26:24,360 And I actually had wrecks with me during this time. 1683 01:26:24,640 --> 01:26:26,840 And the entire time he was trying to push me. 1684 01:26:27,640 --> 01:26:30,840 You know, Shepherd, you understand what my people went 1685 01:26:30,840 --> 01:26:33,040 through to try to kill this thing. 1686 01:26:33,160 --> 01:26:36,600 And so he was not happy with me when I was just like, let him 1687 01:26:36,600 --> 01:26:37,560 free. It's just like, all right, 1688 01:26:37,600 --> 01:26:42,360 Shepherd, this is on your ass if this thing goes, if, if things 1689 01:26:42,360 --> 01:26:46,600 go South. Yeah, OK, yeah, that would have 1690 01:26:46,600 --> 01:26:48,640 been interesting. Yeah, 'cause I I definitely had 1691 01:26:48,640 --> 01:26:51,640 Liara, but I had Liara and Garrus, I think 'cause I wanted 1692 01:26:51,640 --> 01:26:55,840 to space out the biotic and tech powers evenly. 1693 01:26:56,400 --> 01:27:00,280 No, my first playthrough I had Garris and Liara as well, but 1694 01:27:00,280 --> 01:27:02,800 this time like, no, let's change it up a little. 1695 01:27:02,880 --> 01:27:04,880 Let's do, let's bring in my boy Rex. 1696 01:27:05,000 --> 01:27:09,280 And all of a sudden it's just like, oh, there's extra dialogue 1697 01:27:09,280 --> 01:27:12,280 because, you know, because Lorecast, there's history. 1698 01:27:13,440 --> 01:27:17,080 Dalton a question that I just thought of. 1699 01:27:17,360 --> 01:27:19,960 When you're on Novaria, you know, fighting the matriarch, 1700 01:27:20,080 --> 01:27:23,800 the Wreck Night Queen, did you let her go or did you kill her? 1701 01:27:24,040 --> 01:27:25,680 Oh, I let her go. Yeah, OK. 1702 01:27:26,280 --> 01:27:30,560 I let her go because I was like when she raised that body and 1703 01:27:30,560 --> 01:27:34,640 was talking to me, I didn't get the sense of a threat from her. 1704 01:27:34,800 --> 01:27:36,880 Now I could be wrong, but I think I could come back and bite 1705 01:27:36,880 --> 01:27:38,280 me in the ass a game or two later. 1706 01:27:38,280 --> 01:27:41,600 But for now I was like, you know, Nah. 1707 01:27:41,920 --> 01:27:44,600 She seems all right and I think the Citadel were pissed off at 1708 01:27:44,600 --> 01:27:46,360 me about that. But you know at this point the 1709 01:27:46,360 --> 01:27:49,320 Citadel can eat a fat Dick. They were not helpful at all 1710 01:27:49,320 --> 01:27:52,160 throughout the entire fucking game, so fuck them. 1711 01:27:52,280 --> 01:27:55,600 I did save them though. You just answered my question. 1712 01:27:55,600 --> 01:27:57,320 I did the. I saved them as well. 1713 01:27:57,480 --> 01:27:59,680 Adam, what about you? No, fuck them. 1714 01:28:00,920 --> 01:28:03,360 Every opportunity I got and I killed them. 1715 01:28:03,800 --> 01:28:05,120 What a What happened? Hell yeah. 1716 01:28:05,280 --> 01:28:07,600 Then I do not know. They just get replaced by other 1717 01:28:07,600 --> 01:28:10,080 councillors from the same races. Oh yeah. 1718 01:28:10,440 --> 01:28:15,680 Oh well, OK, that's a little anticlimactic, but still, that's 1719 01:28:15,680 --> 01:28:18,760 that's fucking hilarious. And again, one of my favorite 1720 01:28:18,760 --> 01:28:21,840 lines because I had him punch guy, as I think we I think we 1721 01:28:21,840 --> 01:28:24,360 all did. When you're given the choice 1722 01:28:24,360 --> 01:28:27,600 between choosing who you're going to put up onto the council 1723 01:28:27,720 --> 01:28:30,640 and you give it to the the commander or Admiral, whatever 1724 01:28:30,640 --> 01:28:33,800 he was, the other guy's like, are you serious? 1725 01:28:33,960 --> 01:28:38,120 He he solves problems with his fists and he goes only with you. 1726 01:28:38,120 --> 01:28:40,760 And I was like, yeah, get his ass. 1727 01:28:41,240 --> 01:28:45,680 I chose you, Dana Monster, but it's a spoiler. 1728 01:28:45,680 --> 01:28:48,120 Why? Oh OK definitely why then? 1729 01:28:48,120 --> 01:28:51,440 I will not ask until I play more of the Super or I'll find out 1730 01:28:51,440 --> 01:28:55,400 and be like oh God damn it. It does that thing that Dragon 1731 01:28:55,400 --> 01:28:59,880 Age does where not necessarily the moral choice at the 1732 01:28:59,880 --> 01:29:02,840 beginning is what you need to do to get the best outcome 1733 01:29:02,920 --> 01:29:06,080 potentially. Damn now when I load in Mass 1734 01:29:06,080 --> 01:29:09,560 Effect 2 is it gonna be like how it is in Dragon Age where it 1735 01:29:09,560 --> 01:29:15,000 kind of loads in what happened to shape the world into? 1736 01:29:15,000 --> 01:29:17,960 Or is this more of a direct sequel than Dragon Age 2 was the 1737 01:29:17,960 --> 01:29:20,760 Dragon Age 1? Because I've read that Dragon 1738 01:29:20,760 --> 01:29:24,400 Age 2 was not supposed to be Dragon Age 2, that EA or whoever 1739 01:29:24,400 --> 01:29:27,360 was made them make it Dragon Age 2, that it was supposed to be 1740 01:29:27,600 --> 01:29:31,240 Dragon Age Origins, Dragon Age something or other, and then 1741 01:29:31,240 --> 01:29:33,840 Dragon Age Inquisition, Dragon Age, whatever. 1742 01:29:33,840 --> 01:29:36,360 Like they were supposed to be separate games but in the same 1743 01:29:36,360 --> 01:29:39,680 world. No 2 is a direct sequel. 1744 01:29:39,920 --> 01:29:43,280 It was programmed and developed to be a direct SQL. 1745 01:29:43,440 --> 01:29:46,280 Okay, so choices are going to matter more than just shaping. 1746 01:29:46,320 --> 01:29:50,440 The world, like I said, all of the consequences and choices you 1747 01:29:50,440 --> 01:29:53,720 made in one, they will affect the rest of the trilogy. 1748 01:29:53,880 --> 01:29:57,400 That's rad, I like that. Even some things from one don't 1749 01:29:57,400 --> 01:30:00,680 happen till 3 which is nice. Oh God damn it, I'm going to 1750 01:30:00,680 --> 01:30:02,280 have to play more Mass Effect at some point. 1751 01:30:02,680 --> 01:30:04,480 As you should. I guess so. 1752 01:30:04,720 --> 01:30:05,960 All right, boys, let's do some ratings. 1753 01:30:06,160 --> 01:30:08,720 Now that I've drained my bladder, I, I tried to make it 1754 01:30:08,720 --> 01:30:11,520 as long as possible and I was sitting here and like, dude, if 1755 01:30:11,520 --> 01:30:14,640 I cough right now, I'm going to piss all over myself. 1756 01:30:15,680 --> 01:30:17,280 Let me go run and take care of this real quick. 1757 01:30:17,280 --> 01:30:19,960 Thank you for vamping, Jeff. Let's start with you, buddy. 1758 01:30:19,960 --> 01:30:25,960 What would you rate Mass Effect? Well I love this game a lot but 1759 01:30:26,320 --> 01:30:30,440 there are some problems with it. As I stated earlier the 1760 01:30:30,440 --> 01:30:36,000 repetitiveness does affect this a lot but not I'm not going to 1761 01:30:36,000 --> 01:30:39,960 say oh it ruins the game it it doesn't, not one bit. 1762 01:30:40,160 --> 01:30:44,760 The dialogue conversations you have with your squad mates, I 1763 01:30:44,760 --> 01:30:48,080 agree with Adam. They are a bit more on the bland 1764 01:30:48,080 --> 01:30:52,360 basic side, but it it it's establishing a whole new 1765 01:30:52,360 --> 01:30:56,600 universe. I don't know how you get what 1766 01:30:56,600 --> 01:30:59,600 I'm saying. It's just it's trying to start 1767 01:30:59,600 --> 01:31:03,920 something new but in a very unique sort of way. 1768 01:31:04,000 --> 01:31:07,600 So the choices they made during development or as the game 1769 01:31:07,600 --> 01:31:12,560 progresses I don't agree with. But luckily, like the driving, 1770 01:31:12,800 --> 01:31:18,040 the tank does not return. This is the only time you have 1771 01:31:18,040 --> 01:31:19,760 to drive to the Mako. So. 1772 01:31:20,080 --> 01:31:27,920 But in terms of as as a whole, I give it an 8.5 a strong be as a 1773 01:31:27,960 --> 01:31:34,920 strong showing it does have some issues that have been that do 1774 01:31:34,920 --> 01:31:37,560 get corrected as a Siri progresses. 1775 01:31:37,920 --> 01:31:41,480 All right, then I do want to say real quick, correct me if I'm 1776 01:31:41,480 --> 01:31:45,680 wrong, it's Mass Effect two that everyone loves the map music, 1777 01:31:45,680 --> 01:31:47,600 right? There's like a just the music 1778 01:31:47,600 --> 01:31:49,120 that plays when you're on the map screen. 1779 01:31:50,000 --> 01:31:53,640 I have had that come up in like just relaxing video game music 1780 01:31:53,960 --> 01:31:57,200 videos and I'm like, oh man, I might just sit on that screen 1781 01:31:57,200 --> 01:31:58,680 for a little while and just let it play. 1782 01:31:59,480 --> 01:32:02,680 Just a quick and insert since you're talking about the music, 1783 01:32:02,680 --> 01:32:06,080 which is great in this game. Yeah, for sure. 1784 01:32:06,080 --> 01:32:09,480 Two that stand out most to me is when you're fighting, when 1785 01:32:09,480 --> 01:32:13,360 you're on, I think the play is called Theram, which is when 1786 01:32:13,360 --> 01:32:18,800 you're when you find Liara, you have a little boss battle with a 1787 01:32:18,800 --> 01:32:21,760 Geth armature. I believe it is called the 1788 01:32:21,760 --> 01:32:24,520 background music. If you go on YouTube and look up 1789 01:32:24,560 --> 01:32:28,280 a very dangerous place, that's the music that's playing during 1790 01:32:28,280 --> 01:32:32,120 the that boss battle. It is it hits hard. 1791 01:32:32,120 --> 01:32:36,880 It is great, but in terms of music that I just love to I 1792 01:32:36,880 --> 01:32:40,000 actually fell asleep to it. It was it's just so calm and 1793 01:32:40,000 --> 01:32:43,280 peaceful and it plays specifically and, and the 1794 01:32:43,280 --> 01:32:46,720 Citadel where it's called the C SEC Academy. 1795 01:32:46,800 --> 01:32:49,880 Yeah. It's just this nice calm, 1796 01:32:50,120 --> 01:32:53,880 relaxing music. It was like an hour long video 1797 01:32:53,880 --> 01:32:57,880 on YouTube and I just I hit play and I fell asleep like 5 minutes 1798 01:32:57,880 --> 01:32:58,280 later. Oh. 1799 01:32:58,600 --> 01:33:00,840 Man, we're doing ratings. There's one other thing I meant 1800 01:33:00,840 --> 01:33:02,440 to bring up. I forgot you mentioned the 1801 01:33:02,440 --> 01:33:04,800 Citadel. When I first got to the Citadel, 1802 01:33:04,960 --> 01:33:09,280 I ran around that motherfucker for like an hour having no idea 1803 01:33:09,280 --> 01:33:12,880 where to ago and I even talked to the the VI, the virtual 1804 01:33:12,880 --> 01:33:14,880 intelligence. She didn't really help me all 1805 01:33:14,880 --> 01:33:17,320 that much. It wasn't until I ran around and 1806 01:33:17,320 --> 01:33:20,640 accidentally found all of the transit things that it was then 1807 01:33:20,640 --> 01:33:22,560 way easier to make my way around. 1808 01:33:22,560 --> 01:33:27,440 But like dude, trying to find where the fuck the Normandy was 1809 01:33:27,760 --> 01:33:29,440 took me. I ended up having to Google it. 1810 01:33:29,600 --> 01:33:31,360 Where's the Normandy in the Citadel? 1811 01:33:31,400 --> 01:33:33,800 Oh, you have to go to the C SEC Academy and then the elevators 1812 01:33:33,800 --> 01:33:35,080 there. I'm like Oh well fuck, I was 1813 01:33:35,080 --> 01:33:37,400 there an hour and a half ago. I didn't remember that shit. 1814 01:33:38,880 --> 01:33:41,040 The layout of the Citadel gets better too. 1815 01:33:41,200 --> 01:33:42,600 Thank God. Thank God. 1816 01:33:43,320 --> 01:33:46,400 Anyway, ratings Adam. Adam, what about yours? 1817 01:33:46,400 --> 01:33:47,760 My goods are you? Do you got more, Jeff? 1818 01:33:48,080 --> 01:33:49,480 No, that's it. Adam, Google. 1819 01:33:50,320 --> 01:33:52,360 Damn it, I was hoping you guys would talk for longer because 1820 01:33:52,360 --> 01:33:53,840 I'm really tossing up between two schools. 1821 01:33:53,840 --> 01:33:56,280 I can go next. Yeah, if that's. 1822 01:33:56,360 --> 01:34:00,640 OK, so I liked this game. I didn't love love this game, 1823 01:34:00,800 --> 01:34:04,520 but I quite liked it. I am now interested in seeing 1824 01:34:04,640 --> 01:34:07,840 two and three because I know that it only improves as you 1825 01:34:07,840 --> 01:34:11,240 guys have both said. And I think that this game and 1826 01:34:11,240 --> 01:34:13,360 like we've already, you know, mentioned multiple times, this 1827 01:34:13,360 --> 01:34:16,320 game laid a really nice foundation for a good story to 1828 01:34:16,320 --> 01:34:18,560 be told. And there is definitely room for 1829 01:34:18,560 --> 01:34:20,440 improvement with the gameplay, which means it can only get 1830 01:34:20,440 --> 01:34:21,640 better. I don't see how that they would 1831 01:34:21,640 --> 01:34:23,560 have made gameplay worse and people love them more. 1832 01:34:23,760 --> 01:34:26,360 So I I am very much looking forward to that. 1833 01:34:26,360 --> 01:34:29,280 I remember Mass Effect 3 watching my friends play that 1834 01:34:29,280 --> 01:34:31,640 multiplayer. The combat looked way more fluid 1835 01:34:31,760 --> 01:34:36,160 than this one, so I do look forward to that as well, but 1836 01:34:36,280 --> 01:34:39,880 there were just a few nagging things that bothered me enough 1837 01:34:39,880 --> 01:34:41,680 in this to knock it down a couple pegs. 1838 01:34:42,600 --> 01:34:46,920 So Jeff, you gave it an 8 1/2, I'm going to give it a just 1839 01:34:46,920 --> 01:34:49,680 straight 7. It's a good base. 1840 01:34:49,680 --> 01:34:53,560 It's almost a 6.5 for me. But like the music and it 1841 01:34:53,720 --> 01:34:56,000 knocked it up just just just enough. 1842 01:34:56,800 --> 01:35:02,440 I think that this game had the opportunity to fail had it had 1843 01:35:02,440 --> 01:35:04,480 not been as well written as it was. 1844 01:35:05,480 --> 01:35:08,680 That being said, Adam, you saying going back nowadays, you 1845 01:35:08,680 --> 01:35:11,080 don't think it's as well written compared to the later games? 1846 01:35:11,080 --> 01:35:13,400 That just makes me look forward to them more because I'm like, 1847 01:35:13,400 --> 01:35:15,760 yeah, give me more of this good ass story. 1848 01:35:16,040 --> 01:35:18,880 The fact that the main story was so good that I never really 1849 01:35:18,880 --> 01:35:22,640 thought to like wander around my ship and talk to NPCS. 1850 01:35:22,640 --> 01:35:24,920 I was like, I need to see what's going to happen next. 1851 01:35:24,920 --> 01:35:28,080 That's the mark of a good game. Because now now I could load it 1852 01:35:28,080 --> 01:35:32,080 back up, activate all the cheats I want in Wemod and just go in 1853 01:35:32,080 --> 01:35:35,120 and make that game my bitch and see all of the stuff that I 1854 01:35:35,120 --> 01:35:38,000 didn't get to see. You know, the only thing I'm not 1855 01:35:38,000 --> 01:35:41,600 really looking forward to if I do that is Salt Factory and 1856 01:35:41,600 --> 01:35:44,280 hearing you guys of all the planet driving, that's kind of 1857 01:35:44,280 --> 01:35:46,720 just aimlessly fun trying to look where you need to go. 1858 01:35:47,440 --> 01:35:50,440 Salt Factory definitely made a video or a point to point out 1859 01:35:50,440 --> 01:35:54,440 that that was a pretty shitty and he would time lapse speed up 1860 01:35:54,440 --> 01:35:56,920 his videos of him just riding around these places looking for 1861 01:35:56,920 --> 01:35:58,080 the place that he was trying to find. 1862 01:35:58,400 --> 01:36:00,480 But but yeah, I'll give you the solid 7. 1863 01:36:00,600 --> 01:36:02,840 I'm looking forward to seeing where it can go from here. 1864 01:36:02,960 --> 01:36:08,360 OK so I'm going to start off my rating with saying that I am a 1865 01:36:08,360 --> 01:36:12,440 BioWare simp. They do a lot of great things 1866 01:36:12,640 --> 01:36:16,240 and great work and the original at this, when I played it back 1867 01:36:16,240 --> 01:36:19,480 in 2007, I was absolutely in love with it. 1868 01:36:19,600 --> 01:36:22,320 There's a reason why I've played this game four times. 1869 01:36:22,760 --> 01:36:27,240 They had a lot of time to come back and do the Legendary 1870 01:36:27,240 --> 01:36:29,640 edition to the best standard they could. 1871 01:36:31,280 --> 01:36:35,000 Like they had Anthem before this, which was like the biggest 1872 01:36:35,000 --> 01:36:38,520 flop ever. So by way knew what the fans 1873 01:36:38,520 --> 01:36:41,160 wanted going into the Legendary Edition. 1874 01:36:41,520 --> 01:36:45,800 They changed some things for the better. 100% they could have 1875 01:36:45,800 --> 01:36:49,280 done a complete overhaul on this game instead of a fresh coat of 1876 01:36:49,280 --> 01:36:49,800 paint. Though. 1877 01:36:50,400 --> 01:36:54,320 I can definitely see where the great things in this game are. 1878 01:36:55,120 --> 01:36:59,080 The story, the characters, the music, even the visuals for this 1879 01:36:59,080 --> 01:37:03,040 Coming through on PC for the first time because I played all 1880 01:37:03,040 --> 01:37:06,760 these on console originally. Coming through on PC. 1881 01:37:06,920 --> 01:37:10,400 Masterful, like I don't have something super top of the line 1882 01:37:10,560 --> 01:37:14,520 but just the change you can see even going from an Xbox One for 1883 01:37:14,520 --> 01:37:17,280 the legendary edition to legendary edition on PC is 1884 01:37:17,280 --> 01:37:20,200 amazing. The mini games on PC not so 1885 01:37:20,200 --> 01:37:21,600 much. I know we didn't talk through 1886 01:37:21,720 --> 01:37:23,800 the hacking and that sort of thing. 1887 01:37:24,320 --> 01:37:28,400 I wasn't used to using my mouse to fix those, but that's much 1888 01:37:28,400 --> 01:37:31,080 for muchness. This game is a slog, I'm not 1889 01:37:31,080 --> 01:37:32,880 going to lie, for the majority of it. 1890 01:37:32,880 --> 01:37:38,360 To get as much content as you want to be at Mass Effect 3 and 1891 01:37:38,360 --> 01:37:41,840 be at the end of Mass Effect 3 and say I've seen everything 1892 01:37:41,840 --> 01:37:46,720 this series or this trilogy has to offer, This game #1 is a slog 1893 01:37:46,720 --> 01:37:49,640 in it. So I'm going to give it a seven 1894 01:37:49,800 --> 01:37:53,440 overall as well because it's the first step on a great path all. 1895 01:37:54,040 --> 01:37:55,280 Right. Yeah, I don't disagree with that 1896 01:37:55,280 --> 01:37:57,000 at all. And Jeff, I'm curious. 1897 01:37:57,160 --> 01:38:00,240 Don't give them now, but I'm curious with you rating this one 1898 01:38:00,240 --> 01:38:03,080 an 8.5 where two and three lie on your scale. 1899 01:38:03,200 --> 01:38:04,200 But like I said, I don't want to know. 1900 01:38:04,400 --> 01:38:07,080 I'm sure you'll come hang out more for more of the episodes 1901 01:38:07,440 --> 01:38:11,080 so. When we get when Mass Effect two 1902 01:38:11,080 --> 01:38:14,680 and three come around on the show, I will give my honest 1903 01:38:14,680 --> 01:38:18,680 answers. And some people might be 1904 01:38:18,680 --> 01:38:23,000 shocked, but Will, as another podcast says, we'll get there. 1905 01:38:23,120 --> 01:38:24,560 We'll get there. All right, then. 1906 01:38:24,720 --> 01:38:27,000 What is this? What is this little quiz you 1907 01:38:27,000 --> 01:38:31,000 have for us, my good Sir? So gentlemen, the Normandy, it's 1908 01:38:31,200 --> 01:38:34,560 a pretty iconic sci-fi fictional ship. 1909 01:38:34,640 --> 01:38:38,040 Am I wrong? Usually when usually when people 1910 01:38:38,280 --> 01:38:41,960 say Normandy or it's like, oh, and the ship in Mass Effect. 1911 01:38:42,000 --> 01:38:47,840 Oh yeah, so iconic. They made it a achievable prize, 1912 01:38:47,840 --> 01:38:49,880 and No Man's Sky did. They really. 1913 01:38:50,120 --> 01:38:52,480 Yes, they did. That was that could be a, a 1914 01:38:52,480 --> 01:39:00,680 freighter that you could claim. So my quiz for you is it's just 1915 01:39:00,680 --> 01:39:04,400 five questions. It's just going to be, I'm going 1916 01:39:04,400 --> 01:39:09,000 to give you a description of a fictional ship and you have to 1917 01:39:09,000 --> 01:39:11,920 tell me the name of that ship. Now. 1918 01:39:14,760 --> 01:39:19,080 There are two hints. If I'm I'll always read you the 1919 01:39:19,120 --> 01:39:22,040 the first hint. If you're able to get tell me 1920 01:39:22,040 --> 01:39:25,160 the name of that ship. On the 1st hint you get 2 1921 01:39:25,160 --> 01:39:28,760 points. If I have to tell you or if I 1922 01:39:28,760 --> 01:39:33,600 have to read the second hint, then you only get one point. 1923 01:39:33,720 --> 01:39:39,640 Then no, no answers is no point. So I will try to do my best to. 1924 01:39:40,240 --> 01:39:42,720 I'm just going to have you guys. When you have the answer, raise 1925 01:39:42,720 --> 01:39:45,920 your hand. I'll try to catch the first 1926 01:39:45,920 --> 01:39:49,840 person. If I'm incorrect, I apologize, 1927 01:39:49,840 --> 01:39:52,000 but I'll try to be as fair as possible. 1928 01:39:52,560 --> 01:39:55,400 But gentlemen, the fictional ship quiz. 1929 01:39:55,800 --> 01:40:01,000 All right, get your Dicks out. So question one first hint. 1930 01:40:01,160 --> 01:40:05,600 This ship was built. With a prototype FDL gravity 1931 01:40:05,600 --> 01:40:10,760 drive meant to fold space to greatly reduce travel to reduce 1932 01:40:10,760 --> 01:40:14,040 travel time. Ended up traveling to another 1933 01:40:14,040 --> 01:40:16,520 dimension. When you have the answer, raise 1934 01:40:16,520 --> 01:40:18,680 your hand. If you need the second hint, I 1935 01:40:18,680 --> 01:40:20,880 will read it. I'm so bad with the names of 1936 01:40:20,880 --> 01:40:22,480 things. Yeah, I need the second hint. 1937 01:40:22,480 --> 01:40:26,640 I don't know what I'm. Saying, all right, the dimension 1938 01:40:26,640 --> 01:40:31,640 it actually accidentally went to was of pure chaos. 1939 01:40:32,080 --> 01:40:35,480 And I if you want me to expand on that hint, I will. 1940 01:40:35,640 --> 01:40:39,920 It it, it was a horror movie. Oh mother fucker, what's the 1941 01:40:39,920 --> 01:40:42,280 name of that? Adam not pitch black. 1942 01:40:42,480 --> 01:40:44,440 No, I don't know the name of the ship. 1943 01:40:44,440 --> 01:40:45,840 Though, but it's not pitch black. 1944 01:40:45,960 --> 01:40:48,920 You're you're around the same time, but it was not pitch 1945 01:40:48,920 --> 01:40:49,920 black. Dalton all. 1946 01:40:50,160 --> 01:40:51,080 Right. I don't know the name of the 1947 01:40:51,080 --> 01:40:52,640 ship, but I can throw you the movie. 1948 01:40:52,640 --> 01:40:54,840 I think it's from all right. Event Horizon. 1949 01:40:55,400 --> 01:40:57,480 The ship is called the Event Horizon. 1950 01:40:59,400 --> 01:41:01,320 So, Dalton, that's one point for you. 1951 01:41:01,600 --> 01:41:04,080 That's the movie I've always meant to see because I heard 1952 01:41:04,080 --> 01:41:07,800 that it just goes batshit crazy at the end that I want to see it 1953 01:41:07,800 --> 01:41:10,040 so bad. It is an enjoyable movie. 1954 01:41:10,160 --> 01:41:12,480 It's terrible, but it in the best kind of way. 1955 01:41:12,720 --> 01:41:15,800 Is that Brace Willis that is Sam Neill, OK. 1956 01:41:15,960 --> 01:41:17,280 OK, that's Jurassic Park, man, isn't it? 1957 01:41:17,440 --> 01:41:19,080 Yes, it is. Nice. 1958 01:41:20,480 --> 01:41:22,560 All right, they. Smell, they smell. 1959 01:41:22,560 --> 01:41:24,360 Sorry, That's what I always think of when I think of Sam 1960 01:41:24,360 --> 01:41:25,680 Neill. Kids smell. 1961 01:41:25,720 --> 01:41:28,880 They smell. Is that in Jurassic Park? 1962 01:41:29,080 --> 01:41:33,480 Yeah. I have to rewatch it but OK. 1963 01:41:33,840 --> 01:41:37,720 Question 2. This ship's main mission was to 1964 01:41:37,720 --> 01:41:41,920 travel to Jupiter to identify a strange anomaly. 1965 01:41:42,680 --> 01:41:46,000 Now if you can't name the the ship, I will accept the movie 1966 01:41:48,800 --> 01:41:50,440 Dalton. There a movie called Jupiter 1967 01:41:50,440 --> 01:41:52,560 Rising. That is not it. 1968 01:41:52,800 --> 01:41:54,360 Damn, I wouldn't want the obvious. 1969 01:41:55,800 --> 01:41:57,160 You want me? Second hint. 1970 01:41:57,480 --> 01:42:00,760 Yeah, please. The main computer suffered a 1971 01:42:00,840 --> 01:42:04,440 major malfunction which resulted in the death of the crew. 1972 01:42:04,440 --> 01:42:07,080 It is a very famous movie. I want to give Adam a chance 1973 01:42:07,080 --> 01:42:08,240 again before I raise my hand again. 1974 01:42:08,680 --> 01:42:10,240 Yeah, no. Dalton. 1975 01:42:10,640 --> 01:42:14,080 Is a 2001 A Space Odyssey? It is 2001, a space odyssey. 1976 01:42:14,360 --> 01:42:17,440 The name of the ship is Discovery One. 1977 01:42:17,600 --> 01:42:21,200 I can't do that, Hal. What a terrifying concept that 1978 01:42:21,200 --> 01:42:23,400 all of a sudden the ship you're on, the AI, is just all of a 1979 01:42:23,400 --> 01:42:25,720 sudden against you and you're just lost in space. 1980 01:42:26,160 --> 01:42:28,360 Yeah. Fucking terrifying. 1981 01:42:28,360 --> 01:42:31,800 OK, continue. Question three so far Dalton. 1982 01:42:31,840 --> 01:42:33,960 Two points Adam. Zero. 1983 01:42:35,240 --> 01:42:39,440 Question 3. This ship had served 50 years 1984 01:42:39,560 --> 01:42:45,440 before it was ready to for retirement before it ended or it 1985 01:42:45,440 --> 01:42:48,320 ended up becoming the savior for humanity. 1986 01:42:48,600 --> 01:42:51,040 Dalton. Alex, what is the Enterprise? 1987 01:42:51,520 --> 01:42:54,840 Incorrect. Damn it, I was so cocky about it 1988 01:42:54,840 --> 01:42:57,600 too. Added Serenity is. 1989 01:42:58,000 --> 01:42:59,320 It what? Serenity. 1990 01:42:59,520 --> 01:43:01,520 It is not. Second hit. 1991 01:43:02,200 --> 01:43:07,200 The attack on humanity was so fierce it approximate only 1992 01:43:07,200 --> 01:43:10,160 approximately 50,000 humans remained. 1993 01:43:13,560 --> 01:43:14,960 Truncate silence. We'll fix this. 1994 01:43:15,680 --> 01:43:18,520 Then only 50,000 humans remained. 1995 01:43:18,760 --> 01:43:20,600 You said we can get it if we named the movie. 1996 01:43:20,720 --> 01:43:24,280 Are they also a TV show? This is a TV show, Walker. 1997 01:43:25,040 --> 01:43:28,200 Battlestar Galactica. Battlestar Galactica. 1998 01:43:30,480 --> 01:43:33,640 Because I'm thinking I'm like the Cylons. 1999 01:43:33,640 --> 01:43:36,320 Really. Only 50,000 after the Cylons, 2000 01:43:36,320 --> 01:43:37,720 yeah. That's wild. 2001 01:43:38,200 --> 01:43:39,520 Yeah. Yeah, there were. 2002 01:43:39,720 --> 01:43:42,440 I think it was originally the 12 colonies. 2003 01:43:42,680 --> 01:43:45,640 They were all basically destroyed and all that remained 2004 01:43:45,640 --> 01:43:51,840 was 50,000 people and Galactica, which had served for 50 years, 2005 01:43:52,440 --> 01:43:55,200 ended up becoming the flagship to protect the fleet. 2006 01:43:56,000 --> 01:43:59,040 I remember my buddy Dustin getting really into the Wasn't 2007 01:43:59,200 --> 01:44:01,280 there a reboot to Battlestar Galactica like in the early 2008 01:44:01,320 --> 01:44:03,200 2000s? That's the one I watched. 2009 01:44:03,200 --> 01:44:06,840 It ended up on sci-fi. That is a fantastic show. 2010 01:44:06,840 --> 01:44:08,600 It is actually my favorite sci-fi show. 2011 01:44:08,720 --> 01:44:12,120 Was it the ending of the show or just a particular episode where 2012 01:44:12,120 --> 01:44:15,240 there was like this whole conspiracy about Cylons looking 2013 01:44:15,240 --> 01:44:17,840 like humans and they were integrated into society? 2014 01:44:18,360 --> 01:44:20,760 They introduced that into the start of the show. 2015 01:44:21,320 --> 01:44:22,480 OK, so that might have been it then. 2016 01:44:22,480 --> 01:44:23,760 I caught it on the first episode. 2017 01:44:24,000 --> 01:44:28,680 Yeah, the show started with two mini series episodes. 2018 01:44:28,680 --> 01:44:32,880 Like they were like an hour. They were kind of like movies, 2019 01:44:33,040 --> 01:44:36,560 movie style shows. And then the first episode 2020 01:44:36,720 --> 01:44:41,560 officially was called 33. OK, I remember the smoking 2021 01:44:41,560 --> 01:44:44,240 blonde robot. Who? 2022 01:44:45,640 --> 01:44:48,680 Let's just say she makes an appearance later on in a Mass 2023 01:44:48,680 --> 01:44:52,600 Effect. All right, Question 4. 2024 01:44:52,760 --> 01:45:00,400 This ship sacrificed itself and its crew to help an enemy fight 2025 01:45:00,400 --> 01:45:04,560 off a common foe because it was the right thing to do, and just 2026 01:45:04,560 --> 01:45:08,400 so there could be a chance for peace between these two races. 2027 01:45:10,120 --> 01:45:13,720 Now, I won't accept if you don't know the actual suffix of the 2028 01:45:13,720 --> 01:45:16,920 ship, that's perfectly fine. But if you can name the actual, 2029 01:45:17,120 --> 01:45:20,200 if you could just name what it was called, I'm perfectly fine 2030 01:45:20,480 --> 01:45:23,480 happy with that. Or if you can name the show, if 2031 01:45:23,720 --> 01:45:25,360 I will, I will read the second hint. 2032 01:45:25,560 --> 01:45:27,120 Yep. Yes, please. 2033 01:45:27,320 --> 01:45:31,280 All right, when it travelled forward in time, it met its 2034 01:45:31,280 --> 01:45:34,080 successor that bears the same name. 2035 01:45:34,200 --> 01:45:38,520 Star Trek Next Generation. It was the Enterprise Sea and 2036 01:45:38,520 --> 01:45:43,200 IT, it ended up coming in in fit to face face to face with the 2037 01:45:43,200 --> 01:45:46,320 Enterprise DI. Man, this whole time I've been 2038 01:45:46,320 --> 01:45:48,120 wanting to say the Enterprise for every single one of them. 2039 01:45:48,160 --> 01:45:50,120 And the one time that I'm like, I'm not going to say it. 2040 01:45:50,320 --> 01:45:53,240 It was the fucking answer. I'm trying to think because I 2041 01:45:53,240 --> 01:45:55,840 was right in my brain. I'm like, I know there's first 2042 01:45:55,840 --> 01:45:59,360 contact where they meet the old crew, meets the new crew, and 2043 01:45:59,360 --> 01:46:03,880 then there's like the JJ Abrams thing where they meet old Spock 2044 01:46:04,200 --> 01:46:07,320 and I shouldn't anyway, Adam on the board. 2045 01:46:07,640 --> 01:46:12,800 Adam on the board and Adam you can tie this with if you can get 2046 01:46:12,800 --> 01:46:15,360 this question. The last question on the 1st 2047 01:46:15,360 --> 01:46:21,080 hint at the start of this movie, this ship was on screen for one 2048 01:46:21,080 --> 01:46:25,240 minute and 42 seconds before the scene changed. 2049 01:46:26,200 --> 01:46:28,640 Star Wars New Hope. Oh, sorry, I jumped in you. 2050 01:46:28,640 --> 01:46:30,160 Raised my hand. Adam, go ahead. 2051 01:46:30,320 --> 01:46:32,440 Yeah, Star Wars A New Hope. Incorrect. 2052 01:46:32,640 --> 01:46:35,920 Oh, dull. That would be the ship from 2053 01:46:35,920 --> 01:46:38,040 Spaceballs at the beginning of it. 2054 01:46:38,040 --> 01:46:42,360 It is just absurdly long. Spaceballs 1. 2055 01:46:42,520 --> 01:46:44,320 That yeah, Spaceballs one. OK, yeah. 2056 01:46:44,640 --> 01:46:46,720 As soon as you were like it was on screen for a minute and a 2057 01:46:46,720 --> 01:46:48,320 half, I'm like, Oh yeah, I know. Immediately. 2058 01:46:48,440 --> 01:46:51,040 I've seen that movie so many times that it has to be that. 2059 01:46:51,040 --> 01:46:53,080 Unless there was a movie that went out to beat that scene. 2060 01:46:53,720 --> 01:46:58,160 And just for shits and giggles, the second hint was it's special 2061 01:46:58,160 --> 01:47:00,480 ability is going from suck to blow. 2062 01:47:00,480 --> 01:47:02,640 Oh. My God, they've gone. 2063 01:47:02,880 --> 01:47:07,200 I would have 9 then, yeah. But gentlemen, that is my 2064 01:47:07,200 --> 01:47:09,920 fictional ship quiz. Well played, Dalton. 2065 01:47:10,120 --> 01:47:14,560 I like it. So final score Dalton 5 and 2066 01:47:14,560 --> 01:47:18,120 Dalton or Adam one and what's the prize? 2067 01:47:18,760 --> 01:47:19,880 I don't know. Nothing A. 2068 01:47:20,160 --> 01:47:24,920 Whole Jack of shit. Whole Jack of shit, but well 2069 01:47:24,920 --> 01:47:26,840 done gentlemen, I hope you enjoyed it. 2070 01:47:27,040 --> 01:47:29,720 So I'm going to peruse through some of these here questions 2071 01:47:29,720 --> 01:47:32,000 that we got because some of them are mixed in with others. 2072 01:47:32,000 --> 01:47:33,560 I don't remember what we answered on Katamari. 2073 01:47:33,560 --> 01:47:35,400 I don't think we did any. But there are there are a lot 2074 01:47:35,400 --> 01:47:37,640 I'm going to try to maybe avoid the ones with pictures that are 2075 01:47:37,640 --> 01:47:39,480 we that well, at least the ones that'll be hard to describe. 2076 01:47:39,480 --> 01:47:44,200 So I'll start with one that came in from Mr. Grumpy Syllables 2077 01:47:44,200 --> 01:47:48,200 himself. One has to go Buffalo wings, hot 2078 01:47:48,200 --> 01:47:50,880 dogs, brownies, or spaghetti and meatballs. 2079 01:47:51,200 --> 01:47:53,600 Spaghetti and meatballs. What about you, Adam? 2080 01:47:53,760 --> 01:47:55,560 Yeah, spaghetti and meatballs for me as well. 2081 01:47:56,120 --> 01:47:58,680 Oh man. OK, so the inner child in me 2082 01:47:58,680 --> 01:48:01,000 wants to say spaghetti and meatballs because once when I 2083 01:48:01,000 --> 01:48:03,760 was very young, I ate spaghetti and meatballs and later that 2084 01:48:03,760 --> 01:48:06,800 night got a tummy ache and threw up and was pulling spaghetti 2085 01:48:06,800 --> 01:48:09,440 noodles out of my nose like long ways. 2086 01:48:09,680 --> 01:48:12,360 So for a long time I was very against spaghetti. 2087 01:48:12,360 --> 01:48:15,040 I've kind of gotten over that. Now that I'm older I can eat 2088 01:48:15,040 --> 01:48:17,320 spaghetti again. But let me tell you, if there is 2089 01:48:17,320 --> 01:48:19,920 one thing on that list that I can do without, because there 2090 01:48:19,920 --> 01:48:23,720 are so many other delicious, delectable, delicate desserts 2091 01:48:23,720 --> 01:48:25,440 that are better, I'm getting rid of brownies. 2092 01:48:25,600 --> 01:48:28,080 I love a brownie. I love a middle brownie. 2093 01:48:28,280 --> 01:48:30,880 People who love edge brownies, there's something odd about them 2094 01:48:30,880 --> 01:48:32,760 because you just like the taste of burnt chocolate. 2095 01:48:32,920 --> 01:48:36,080 That's my problem with brownies is that more often than not, 2096 01:48:36,120 --> 01:48:38,160 because I'm not a professional, I don't know how to make a 2097 01:48:38,160 --> 01:48:40,280 perfect brownie. So when I make brownies, most of 2098 01:48:40,280 --> 01:48:42,920 them taste like burnt chocolate. That little section in the 2099 01:48:42,920 --> 01:48:46,400 middle, that's delicious. If I could get a brownie cake or 2100 01:48:46,400 --> 01:48:49,360 how do you make brownies to be all like that, I would change my 2101 01:48:49,360 --> 01:48:51,000 mind. But right now, brownies can go. 2102 01:48:51,520 --> 01:48:55,040 Reason I say spaghetti and meatballs because baked ziti is 2103 01:48:55,040 --> 01:48:57,520 the best pasta. Ziti is fucking good. 2104 01:48:57,880 --> 01:48:59,480 I'll take ziti over lasagna any day. 2105 01:49:00,320 --> 01:49:02,280 Lasagna is just a fucking spaghetti cake. 2106 01:49:02,480 --> 01:49:10,320 All right, so what's next?

But I have had a burger with BBQ 2287 01:57:51,720 --> 01:57:54,000 pork on the burger and it's pretty fire. 2288 01:57:54,000 --> 01:57:57,840 Just keep that in mind. I love a mushroom and Swiss. 2289 01:57:58,080 --> 01:58:01,080 I love a bacon cheeseburger. I love a BBQ burger. 2290 01:58:01,640 --> 01:58:05,160 But you cannot, in my opinion, beat a good classic burger. 2291 01:58:05,160 --> 01:58:07,000 Like if I go to a place, it's kind of like when I go to a 2292 01:58:07,000 --> 01:58:09,080 pizza joint. I want to try a piece of slice 2293 01:58:09,080 --> 01:58:10,760 of cheese pizza. Let me see what you can do with 2294 01:58:10,760 --> 01:58:12,920 the most basic of ingredients. Let me see how your dough 2295 01:58:12,920 --> 01:58:13,920 tastes. Let me see how your sauce 2296 01:58:13,920 --> 01:58:15,320 tastes. Same with burger places. 2297 01:58:15,520 --> 01:58:17,880 When I go there, first, let me just get a regular Asperger. 2298 01:58:17,880 --> 01:58:19,800 Let me see what you can do with it before you start adding a 2299 01:58:19,800 --> 01:58:21,560 whole bunch of other stuff on there to make it taste better. 2300 01:58:21,560 --> 01:58:23,160 You know what I mean? So I'm gonna go with the 2301 01:58:23,160 --> 01:58:26,000 classic. But my answer is mushroom and 2302 01:58:26,000 --> 01:58:27,800 Swiss. Sorry to jump in because I'm 2303 01:58:27,800 --> 01:58:29,800 just going to duck out for a few moments after that. 2304 01:58:29,800 --> 01:58:33,480 But that's my answer. Yeah, you can't go wrong with 2305 01:58:34,000 --> 01:58:37,040 mixing kind of different stuff with the burger. 2306 01:58:37,240 --> 01:58:40,960 Like I've eaten beef burgers for like the last 32 years. 2307 01:58:41,640 --> 01:58:43,520 Give me something different to mix stuff up. 2308 01:58:43,520 --> 01:58:45,800 So I'm going to go mushroom Swiss for that one. 2309 01:58:46,680 --> 01:58:49,960 Mushroom Swiss is tasty. I am definitely going bacon 2310 01:58:49,960 --> 01:58:52,560 cheeseburger. Yes, because that is the best 2311 01:58:52,560 --> 01:58:55,160 food. See one of those weird people 2312 01:58:55,160 --> 01:58:57,040 that I feel like bacon can overpower things. 2313 01:58:57,240 --> 01:58:59,720 So like, I'm not always in the mood for a bacon cheeseburger. 2314 01:58:59,880 --> 01:59:02,040 I do appreciate them though. Like I will go get a triple 2315 01:59:02,040 --> 01:59:04,560 baconator sometimes and pound that motherfucker and then hate 2316 01:59:04,560 --> 01:59:07,960 life for days after. But all right, so up next comes 2317 01:59:07,960 --> 01:59:10,080 from Adam. So I think he can still hear me 2318 01:59:10,080 --> 01:59:13,800 even though he can't respond. He's asking me, are the red 2319 01:59:13,800 --> 01:59:16,880 lights in the keys for baby turtles legit? 2320 01:59:17,000 --> 01:59:20,760 And I believe that you are asking about where down in the 2321 01:59:20,760 --> 01:59:23,040 keys where all of the the sea turtles are born. 2322 01:59:23,040 --> 01:59:26,040 And then they all make their way to the the water that sometimes 2323 01:59:26,040 --> 01:59:30,200 they have to make their way over roads and they have red lights 2324 01:59:30,200 --> 01:59:32,040 that turn on. Or you're talking about maybe 2325 01:59:32,040 --> 01:59:35,680 they turn on red lights at the beach whenever it's that time so 2326 01:59:35,680 --> 01:59:39,640 people stay off of it. Either way, I'm going to, I, 2327 01:59:39,640 --> 01:59:42,800 I've never been to the Keys, but I'm going to assume yes because 2328 01:59:42,840 --> 01:59:46,480 there is a lot, a lot of conservation stuff about 2329 01:59:46,480 --> 01:59:49,240 turtles, especially on the beach. 2330 01:59:49,560 --> 01:59:51,800 Like where I live, we don't necessarily have beach turtles, 2331 01:59:51,800 --> 01:59:54,320 but we have Gopher turtles and they're considered an endangered 2332 01:59:54,320 --> 01:59:56,360 species, I believe. But they're, or they're 2333 01:59:56,360 --> 01:59:58,720 protected, one of the two. So like if a Gopher turtle makes 2334 01:59:58,720 --> 02:00:00,640 a hole in your yard, congratulations, you now have a 2335 02:00:00,640 --> 02:00:02,640 Gopher turtle living in your yard because you can't move it. 2336 02:00:03,120 --> 02:00:05,480 Legally, they're not invasive. They move on. 2337 02:00:05,640 --> 02:00:09,080 You know what I mean? There's, there's, but I do not 2338 02:00:09,160 --> 02:00:11,520 think, I don't know. I just, I think the, I think the 2339 02:00:11,520 --> 02:00:15,160 red lights are good. Oh, now that you're back, do you 2340 02:00:15,160 --> 02:00:17,520 do you want to clarify what red lights you're talking about? 2341 02:00:17,520 --> 02:00:20,080 Because I don't know if you're mean like on the beach or 2342 02:00:20,080 --> 02:00:22,600 actually like red lights to stop cars for turtles crossing the 2343 02:00:22,600 --> 02:00:24,440 road. Yeah, so there's a bit of 2344 02:00:24,440 --> 02:00:28,120 context for this. So I've been watching shit. 2345 02:00:28,120 --> 02:00:31,160 What's it called? The new crime mystery drama with 2346 02:00:31,160 --> 02:00:36,600 Vince Vaughn, Bad Monkey. And it's set in Florida and they 2347 02:00:36,600 --> 02:00:39,960 have these red light porch lights are red, the lights of 2348 02:00:39,960 --> 02:00:43,760 establishments are red. And they run with the gag that 2349 02:00:43,760 --> 02:00:47,080 it's so the turtles don't get drawn to them and get run over 2350 02:00:47,080 --> 02:00:49,440 by cars when they do their hatchlings. 2351 02:00:49,920 --> 02:00:54,560 I I want to say that that's correct because the hatchlings, 2352 02:00:54,560 --> 02:00:57,200 when they come out, I believe they follow the lights 2353 02:00:57,200 --> 02:01:00,920 reflecting off the ocean. And like, there can be a lot of 2354 02:01:00,920 --> 02:01:02,320 hatchlings, you know what I mean? 2355 02:01:02,320 --> 02:01:05,920 And they're protected. So they do whatever they can to 2356 02:01:05,920 --> 02:01:08,800 get those turtles safely from the beach to the water. 2357 02:01:08,880 --> 02:01:09,400 Yeah. Cool. 2358 02:01:09,440 --> 02:01:12,000 So I would assume that. Sorry, send send the keys. 2359 02:01:12,160 --> 02:01:15,600 Yeah, I've never been to the Keys, but I've always, I've 2360 02:01:15,600 --> 02:01:17,400 always wanted to go there. It's just one of those places I 2361 02:01:17,400 --> 02:01:19,200 haven't been. All right, next one comes in 2362 02:01:19,200 --> 02:01:22,400 from Khanna. Have you ever wrote fan fiction? 2363 02:01:22,400 --> 02:01:23,840 So have you ever written fan fiction? 2364 02:01:24,320 --> 02:01:26,040 Yes, I have. All right. 2365 02:01:26,040 --> 02:01:29,080 I don't think I have. And I have as well. 2366 02:01:29,600 --> 02:01:32,480 Do I want to know? It's pretty time. 2367 02:01:32,920 --> 02:01:34,520 OK. So OK, it'll give me what it was 2368 02:01:34,520 --> 02:01:35,600 about. You don't have to give me the 2369 02:01:35,600 --> 02:01:37,720 details, but like what show is it about or or? 2370 02:01:37,840 --> 02:01:42,400 Oh, I say it was just a ship from an anime that I thought 2371 02:01:42,400 --> 02:01:46,600 should have happened but didn't. And Jeff, I'm gonna guess yours. 2372 02:01:46,760 --> 02:01:48,760 Did it have to do with the character from Star Fox? 2373 02:01:49,320 --> 02:01:53,200 Yes it did, but I also did one for Pokémon as well. 2374 02:01:53,680 --> 02:01:55,880 Misty and Brock. No Ash and Dawn. 2375 02:01:56,440 --> 02:01:58,960 OK. What should have happened in the 2376 02:01:58,960 --> 02:02:00,320 anime exactly? Great, Jeff. 2377 02:02:00,440 --> 02:02:03,240 Exactly. And so that question was 2378 02:02:04,800 --> 02:02:06,960 followed up. No, that's the end. 2379 02:02:06,960 --> 02:02:09,720 All right, so it looks like then, gentlemen, all that is 2380 02:02:09,720 --> 02:02:13,040 left is me telling you what my next pick is and then us 2381 02:02:13,200 --> 02:02:16,240 wrapping up with the, you know, the show notes and stuff and 2382 02:02:16,240 --> 02:02:17,880 getting out of here. Oh, what did I just do? 2383 02:02:17,880 --> 02:02:20,320 OK, there we go. So I've been in an anime mood 2384 02:02:20,320 --> 02:02:23,720 lately. I've been in a an RPG mood 2385 02:02:23,720 --> 02:02:25,240 lately. So what better to do than 2386 02:02:25,240 --> 02:02:28,120 combine those two? And I so I had two choices and 2387 02:02:28,120 --> 02:02:30,840 it came down to two different animes, one that I'm more 2388 02:02:30,840 --> 02:02:33,160 familiar with than the other. So I went with one I was more 2389 02:02:33,160 --> 02:02:38,960 familiar with and we are going to be playing Dragon Ball Z 2390 02:02:38,960 --> 02:02:41,880 Kakarot because it's been sitting in my library. 2391 02:02:41,880 --> 02:02:45,240 I've been meaning to play it because I grew up with Dragon 2392 02:02:45,240 --> 02:02:48,000 Ball Z coming on Toonami. So like I'm familiar with it. 2393 02:02:48,400 --> 02:02:51,240 I have friends who absolutely love that series and tell me I 2394 02:02:51,240 --> 02:02:53,560 need to watch it. So what a good way to experience 2395 02:02:53,560 --> 02:02:55,600 it that I can play a game about it and then talk about it on a 2396 02:02:55,600 --> 02:03:01,160 show. So I believe I want to do a long 2397 02:03:01,160 --> 02:03:03,800 a long boy for that one. So I might do the month. 2398 02:03:04,160 --> 02:03:08,000 So in two weeks time it's either going to be a Dragon Ball Z 2399 02:03:08,000 --> 02:03:10,760 Kakarot episode or it's going to be the Mortuary assistant. 2400 02:03:10,880 --> 02:03:12,880 And if it's the Mortuary assistant, then two weeks after 2401 02:03:12,880 --> 02:03:14,040 that will be Dragon Ball Z Kakarot. 2402 02:03:14,040 --> 02:03:16,240 Just kind of depends on how much time I end up wanting to sink 2403 02:03:16,240 --> 02:03:19,080 into it. And I believe Mikolov will be 2404 02:03:19,080 --> 02:03:22,400 joining me for that one. So for Kakarot. 2405 02:03:22,400 --> 02:03:26,480 So that should be fun. So until then, let's just run 2406 02:03:26,480 --> 02:03:27,880 through this quick. If you would please leave us a 2407 02:03:27,880 --> 02:03:29,400 review over on iTunes or Spotify. 2408 02:03:29,400 --> 02:03:31,560 It really does help out a lot.

A first episode is released 2459 02:05:47,600 --> 02:05:50,080 again talking about fallout TV show. 2460 02:05:50,320 --> 02:05:53,120 Next episode should be coming out next week. 2461 02:05:53,120 --> 02:05:55,840 We're going to be talking about Red Dead Redemption One. 2462 02:05:56,280 --> 02:06:00,480 It's hopefully every two weeks episode will be released. 2463 02:06:01,720 --> 02:06:04,040 That's it. Just listen to us bullshit. 2464 02:06:04,520 --> 02:06:08,640 I will say quickly that I really hope that they do the remaster 2465 02:06:08,640 --> 02:06:11,240 for Red Dead 1 and it comes to play, it comes to PC. 2466 02:06:11,400 --> 02:06:14,240 Because as much as I'm loving Red Dead 2, when I finally beat 2467 02:06:14,240 --> 02:06:17,800 that story, I know how it I know how it goes, and I want it just 2468 02:06:17,800 --> 02:06:19,680 flow right into one. Right into one. 2469 02:06:19,720 --> 02:06:22,120 Yeah, you know what I mean? I think that would be a really 2470 02:06:22,120 --> 02:06:24,960 fun experience. I don't think it will because 2471 02:06:25,600 --> 02:06:30,320 Rockstar abandoned all development for Red Dead Online 2472 02:06:30,520 --> 02:06:34,800 so they could put all their focus and Grand Theft Auto 5 and 2473 02:06:34,800 --> 02:06:36,800 6. So Red Dead at this point is 2474 02:06:36,800 --> 02:06:39,400 just basically abandoned. So Red Dead is dead. 2475 02:06:39,680 --> 02:06:41,320 Yes, Boo. Yeah. 2476 02:06:41,840 --> 02:06:43,160 What about you, Adam? Anything you like? 2477 02:06:43,200 --> 02:06:46,480 Blog, my good Sir. Yeah, so I occasionally write 2478 02:06:46,480 --> 02:06:49,920 blogs over at the Superpod Saga Network. 2479 02:06:50,600 --> 02:06:55,880 So my last one that I just did was a beginner's guide to every 2480 02:06:55,880 --> 02:06:59,840 game in the Blazblue fighting series, with a recommendation 2481 02:06:59,840 --> 02:07:02,040 for which one would be the easiest for newcomers at the 2482 02:07:02,040 --> 02:07:06,400 end, and I'm nearly finished. Nintendo stuffed my plans a bit, 2483 02:07:06,400 --> 02:07:09,480 but I was going to write a beginner's guide to the Trails 2484 02:07:09,480 --> 02:07:12,360 in the Sky trilogy. But with the remake of that 2485 02:07:12,360 --> 02:07:14,880 coming out, I would say start with that one. 2486 02:07:16,520 --> 02:07:18,880 Yeah, but it was just going to give, just going to give an 2487 02:07:18,880 --> 02:07:21,520 overview, I guess, for those that want to jump into Cold 2488 02:07:21,520 --> 02:07:25,680 Steel or Zero straight away and not feel completely lost. 2489 02:07:26,200 --> 02:07:29,640 So that's over at superpodnetwork.com and under 2490 02:07:29,640 --> 02:07:31,360 blogs there. Oh yeah, dude. 2491 02:07:31,600 --> 02:07:34,800 Well, gentlemen, I appreciate you coming in clutch and doing 2492 02:07:34,800 --> 02:07:38,680 this episode with me. Willie, enjoy your time out in 2493 02:07:38,680 --> 02:07:41,400 the jungle, my good Sir. Nate, rest in peace. 2494 02:07:45,040 --> 02:07:48,520 We love you boys and we love you all listeners, and we will be 2495 02:07:48,520 --> 02:07:51,160 back in two weeks to talk to you about, well, either some Dragon 2496 02:07:51,160 --> 02:07:54,320 Ball Z or me shitting my pants because I played the Mortuary 2497 02:07:54,320 --> 02:07:55,760 assistant, which is a scary game. 2498 02:07:56,120 --> 02:08:01,280 It's a scary game, so we'll see. But until then, everybody.
