Ten days from today. Welcome to seven days of play
your Weekly. Mobile game review program.
I'm Edwin. And I'm Sam, and for the past
seven days, I have challenged Edwin to play a very complicated
game called drug. Alia lost from Nintendo and we
shall find out if it dragged on and I lost my attention.
If I were to explain the regalia lost, I would say three things.
Okay? One Very mobily kind of game to.
It feels like a pay to win, but it's actually, I think they did
some good things here. But you know, it's like one of
those games where it's like made to monetize, right?
But I did not experience exactly which is actually what I'll get
to later on as well. I beg your pardon and then
thirdly very Japanese RPG ish role-playing game.
Ish, there's dragons. You need to bond with
characters. You need to have relationships.
Boobs everywhere. Oh boy, I was not expecting
that. So this is a sound game law.
Also story in dispersed with some games.
This is essentially is kind of a lot like returners.
A hero. Lot of story, smaller games, a
lot more Story Time. Video game War.
Story during the game. I'm seeing a pattern here.
How did this happen for your need for story?
So, So, I think so. Okay, in most cases, whenever a
company tries to make a game like this, It's either they
didn't index enough in the story, and by getting what they
seem like an RPG style, you know, like any sort of mobile
pay-to-play pay-to-win sort of game, like, Clash of Clans or
whatever. That clashes, you know, any
other any other game where you see a soldier or a warrior
screaming showing their teeny-weeny face exactly where
you have to build, like, a city where you have to, like, just
upgrade Every single of the 500 facets that you have in control
of you know in cases like that like I feel the stories always
get lost or the stories or so inconsequential that.
It doesn't really matter what the stories are so they just
like put in some random fluff that is completely nonsensical
ranted. The story here is very
nonsensical but the wagons all my friends.
There is some sort of cohesion here where I feel They took the
right steps to introduce the character to the world and to
what's happening, right? Because we should say this is an
original concept. This is UI P IP, meaning
intellect restoring. Interesting properties.
What does IP actually stand for? When they say, like, oh, this is
a new movie with a new IP intellectual property.
That's not really a normal thing to say, though, is it well,
movie executives are not normal people, but this is a new idea,
a new story, new characters to do.
Isn't Super Mario running along. It's not Legends of Zelda with
halitosis of the wild, right? It is so brand-new.
This is a completely newly branched story with characters
that are kind of built for you to like and enjoy some of us.
Some of us might like it and enjoy it.
Some of us may not. So, what did you think of the
story or the game? Ooh, boy.
Well, let's see. As as usual, I sort of glossed
over the story of course. Because, you know, that's, I'm
not here for story. I'm have a games.
Give me the action, give me some action, sweetheart is what I
would say. To a mobile game, very heavy on
the story. Yes, they're in fact, like three
different ways that they tell the story.
There is one, the full-on cutscene where it's completely
animated With full voice acting, yo Q There is just to image and
like different Expressions on their faces with the voice
acting. And three.
There is just a text with just the images, so they tell the
story in three different ways. Oh, and if you're, if you're
very lucky, you'll have an animated segments, which is made
by full-on like, cartoon style animations.
Well, there's my favorite. I couldn't wait for those when
they popped up. Now, I will say, the one thing I
did appreciate is if you skip the story segment and I did, it
would give you a little summary sentence of what the story was.
So the impatient people like me. Yeah, we could just skip through
it like oh yeah, blah blah, blah, Dragon blob befriends, the
evil Prince. We've gotta save, I don't know,
my assumption, the story is your Valiant Knight, you befriend
dragons and somehow turn into them with some Elemental
physical things. There's like a type of elements
need to collect or something or other.
Well then there's evil people that you just Slaughter.
Okay? So Kind of yeah.
So where I'm at your set off on this mission to collect these
shards right? Charles Schulz power Crystal.
Oh yeah, essentially crystals, huh?
Of course, it was going on the crystals.
Yep. Yep.
And these crystals have a special bond with Dragons,
right? Fuckin crystals, right?
And in order for you, get the crystals, they're crucial
because people can use them for evil, right?
So if they got into the wrong hands, they'd be able to use it
for evil, which means that it's the end of the known world.
As you go and collect the crystals before you actually get
the crystal, you have to make a bond with a dragon because the
dragon is protecting it, right? So you go into like this test
of, you know, am I worthy to gain this dragons trust?
And so the first section of the game is essential date with
them. You, you know, you take them out
for dinner, buy them some appetizers, you know, maybe get
for a 2420 at Applebee's on of the flame grilled steak.
Oh nope. Sorry.
Wrong choice. Dragon is no longer your friend.
Oh damn it, you've got the pork so you test your might and test
your might all right doesn't Mortal Kombat reference us and
the dragon approves. He's like oh yes you remind me
of your ancestor who first made The Pact with the dragons?
I like to think of him sitting at a speed-dating table with all
these wannabe Warriors who me uh look at my crystals.
So as your crystals You're about to get this Shard of power, not
shark of power, shard of power. I can be unfortunate an evil
version of your father, the king appears and essentially says No,
that's mine. Hands off my shot, right?
Don't touch my shot. Don't touch me shod.
And you're like, who is this person?
You're my dad but you're not my dad.
Oh no, the whole ganga. Yeah.
Oh and so there is this thing going on where there's like this
alternate universe. So as we unfold, there's quite a
bit of story there which is actually quite intriguing but
yeah, which will be lost if you're an impatient Imelda.
Like I am. Yes.
Okay, well, she's no story. I kind of try and get ahold of
that story. That seems mildly interesting.
I should say, I'm not a big fantasy person right in general.
Okay dragons, the rest of it. I mean like, yeah, Harry Potter,
sure came of Thrones, yeah. Otherwise, not quite my genre
normally for a game like this, like that kind of story would
kind of just go above my head, or like, I would not have the
patience to actually read through it, you know?
But I do feel like, in this particular game, they made the
writing Redirect. And, like, without that much
fluff words, and that's what I realized.
Like it quite well written. It's quite well written, despite
the subject matter like, it's actually like, to the point.
No, silly fluff words that make you, you know, read 20 lines of
stuff for just like, one line of meaning.
And so, I was able to like, just, you know, actually go
along with it because it was, it was, you know, it depicted the
characters really well, gave a little bit inside of to the
personalities and actually kept the story.
Without dragging on. Uh-huh.
Drugging lost.
Did we find out what Drew Galia was and why it was lost no-till
mystery? Oh no there's no.
There's no reason why this is called regalia loss.
As you predicted on last week's episode much like Bravely
Default. There is like, no meaning to
these silly names. I don't even think your Galley
is like a name of something. Yeah, they named like 17.
Other things that are kind of sounds like it sounds like Drew
Gooden, but But yeah, nothing. What did you name?
Your main character? Let's see.
I don't even remember, I will be honest, this does not bode well
for our 7-Day rating. As I think the default is, you
didn't ya? Oh yeah, the music's.
Great music is something. That's again, very Sam.
All right. I don't know how to fuck well.
Maybe this is one segue into slightly.
Baffling point is you have no idea what a pain anywhere, the
screen is button vomit. It really is.
Then I could tap, I think times on the screen and I could find
about different buttons to tap each time.
Oh mine. I'm dragon's blood.
Prince, any name. Because as usual, all the names,
I thought of it would not let me use really Panda queef.
Nope. I want to see their list of
names to Hawaii. Let's go to the 3X3.
Let's do the 3 by 3 is 3 things. Good and three things not so
good Original Ip. I think we need to applaud any
time a movie studio, or game Studio comes out.
We like an original idea. I feel the need to applaud them.
It's so easy. Like, so much today is this,
like, oh, we can't build anything without an existing
audience. So we have to recycle these
books Comics. Yep.
Anything make that a movie. Make that a game because we've
got these inbuilt audience already.
So, Nintendo's, taking the neck out, with, like, completely new
characters, completely random, but random idea.
Yeah, I mean, also, Very nice that doesn't seem particularly
tailored to a western audience, maybe that is my limited
purview, but anime dragons and stuff.
I'm like, yeah. Is that what is that?
Kind of, what a popular game would look like in America?
I don't know, it's kind of, its kind of bored.
Like I do feel like they are sticking their neck out or
something like this. And you don't normally see
Nintendo during this, where there's so much Japanese
influence with the game, right? And kept it to its Japanese
Roots. Like, Mom is Italian plumber.
Has exactly like even the music still having the Japanese words
in the music and Japanese singer is singing.
The music that's a big step or a western audience.
And I feel like Nintendo is actually making the right steps
for for this game, in particular, for an audience to
really discover what Japanese games are all about only few
other companies do this. Like Atlas is another one where
they kind of persevere with like the Cultures and people really
dig it for that right. They actually love these games
because it is so Japanese Centric.
Yeah. And I feel like Nintendo here is
making a pretty good move with keeping things so raw and kind
of untranslated. So yeah, I really loved it.
I like the IP. I think the characters while
it's kind of generic for like a anime type jrpg, right?
Like it's pretty well developed. Hmm okay yeah.
If you skip over the stories, these are just Bland Heroes
doing things that I didn't really sure what.
And I think I mean, to the point where I am, like, nothing is
really stuck out as. Wow, this is great and
revolutionary. It's all sort of typical, you
know, for the king, I must do this, my mission, my sister is
here to protect me, sort of deal, right?
And that was all my good point. So the packaging of the game is,
is Like the production. I mentioned like the music the
way that it feels like a complete package.
You can tell this game existed long before the game was
released. Right.
It's pretty polished. Yeah it's very polished.
We're supposed to take them a year to figure out how to fit
500 buttons on the screen at once.
That's a lot of testing. Yeah you know just a little
things of introducing you to the 28 different buttons that are on
the screen, but also the way like the characters interact
with each other. So I think the whole point of
this game is Is for you to try and collect as much characters
as possible, right. Go to collect them all.
Yeah. Like the monetization part of
this is directly related to the people that you summoned to help
you out, right? And they do this like really
interesting thing of, you know, the main menu of the screen
after you've gone through. Like all the entrance stuff
you're just like sort of walking through the this road, but as
you walk through you, you see the characters that you've
collected so far, like walk beside you, you know, Right?
And they interact with you in ways that are like really cute
like they say like little one-liners that you can actually
hear. And just like that polish
though, the way that that sort of real time and it's done with
a real Graphics is done very, very well.
Another good thing for me. You know, I think there's a
conscious effort to make this like, casual yet invigorating.
Yeah, there is. There's a term here which I feel
it's like my need for mobile games these days.
It's like I don't want to do much but I want to do something
where it makes me feel like I did something a little bit more
than matching some color blocks. Exactly.
Like I think hold down is a great example, where a part of
your brain can kind of shut off. But the things that you do
allows Or pretty good results and makes you feel like yes I
have accomplished something, right?
And I think the way that the gameplay is actually done allows
for this to happen, where it's like sure you're going through a
store and you're entertained, you can kind of go through it
without thinking a lot, but when the gameplay will actually comes
in, it's it's pretty streamlined to wear like, you don't really
need to be thinking about stuff, but if you don't do it, you'll
actually fail. And I think that's, that's like
a pretty good balance to strike. Like in a mobile game, only have
a rebuttal to that. Yeah but we'll save it for the
batteries. Yeah, my final good point is
that this wild the story and all that stuff may seem a little
generic. I felt like they did a pretty
good job and actually coming up with a new and invigorating way
to get you involved. Like I didn't think it was that
silly. That's a that's a quote for you
right there. I didn't know you've been saying
shards of power speed dating with Dragons.
I didn't find it quite silly, seven days to play five stars on
Tuesday, bad points onto the bad points, hoo, boy, I mean, to
quote Verbatim, what I wrote is my first bad point baffling
menu, I that rewards you with simplistic.
Tedious gameplay, this is crazy. This is Christian, are do
Ronaldo. Those kickoff Chicken Run level
of Bonkers amount of buttons. I think is even more buttons, to
be honest. Yeah, this is even more buttons
than the slot on Legends before they cleaned up the buttons.
Because it's not only a bazillion buttons.
There's also tabs and they have a bazillion buttons on.
And to be honest, I couldn't even tell you what these buttons
are. I don't even Taps half of these
buttons home upgrade teams Castle, summon more events.
Join a co-op. Jumpstart Endeavors.
Special events. Yeah, I mean, oh my gosh, this
is banana pants. I can't understand.
I even, I would forget how to start the game.
I guess this beige and I'm like, okay, well, I want to play and
then it's like the lower third of the screen on the right is as
quests, and that's actually need to play the game.
So now you're going to tap on that and then you add a little
map, they have a tap on the chapter 0 and then you get Get
chapter for one of four, he would tap on that and then a
baffling screen comes up where you need to choose the people to
play the thing with you. I guess.
Yeah. That's that.
Which was just like. I like I can click on optimize
which brings up an even more baffling menu screen.
We're okay. Sure.
All optimized and then again you get the tiny big win.
Big win Quest. And now oh you might ask about
to play a game. Yes you can play a game. and you
get to play a game, which is Few minutes, it's too many is also
like regardless of the characters I chose.
I mean I've played, so yeah, I'm up to chapter 4, which means I
probably played five or six levels all of them.
I've beaten first time not really knowing what I'm doing.
You can use it to just walking walking around and these pop-up
that's happened. You / them.
Yeah. And then you got some buttons
underneath where you can turn into a dragon.
Do something involving Overdrive.
That's about it at no time. Did I ever feel that was like,
strategy or I was being like learning how to play it.
Better never stop sneaking as you came to mind as a game.
That does this? Well, yeah, that you're walking
about all this because some tactics and bit of strategy and
actually kind of fun to play. Whereas here it's just very
tedious and simplistic. It's really strange because the
more like I'm at a point now where I can actually set, The
auto mode. Okay.
Which oh yeah. So like in the fighting part if
you set auto mode, it will just do it for you.
Don't even actually have to tap. So, it got me thinking, like,
where is the game here right now, you've to Galia lost the
game? Yeah.
Is and I think this is sort of like goes, you know, like the
bigger question of the game is like is the game actually about
like collecting this? Like is it just to like continue
to lie? This.
So that you, you get whatever gems, whatever, 500 of the gems
that you need, right? Actually just like collect
everyone and get them to the highest level is a clicker.
Masquerading is no PG. Yeah.
And I think that's exactly what this is.
And I think we've seen there are other games that kind of do this
without the story, right? Yeah.
And I think this just sort of packages it and a different way
and because I'm a I'm not a story guy, there's then we take
away the story and then there's no this is T is gameplay,
there's kind of Nothing Left, Right?
Just such a strange, just like, if someone hadn't told me I
would never guess, this was a Nintendo game.
Yeah, it does not feel like a Nintendo game at.
All right. I do feel like it's it is a very
high quality mobile game that's made in Japan.
Yeah. That Nintendo felt like, okay,
the quality here is good enough to call it a Nintendo game.
Right? Because it was largely developed
by another studio right now. Yeah.
Until you put their brand new stamp of approval on it.
Yeah. Go put that loading screen on
Nintendo. Yeah.
Yeah. - you just steal candy floss.
You your enticed by this sort of sugary pink wonder who?
What is this? And you put in your mouth?
Like oh oh, it's kind of tastes quite good.
Oh, but then you very quickly realize is just vapid and
nothing's there and we'll just left holding a stick.
The gameplay does get super repetitive and I think that's
really like the down part of it, but I keep thinking back to
like, hey, this kind of feels like Diablo.
Which is a PC game. Okay.
If you have never heard of like expression said it all and you
know the same thing you do is like you go into a dungeon you
hack and slash right. You all you do is you're
clicking the mouse kind of mindlessly clicking the mouse.
It's sort of I mean they're going to be Parts where it's
like exciting because you're about to die but you just go in
there Hack and Slash and all you're really doing is trying to
level up your person. To get the better weapons and to
get the better gear and that's all that's a game, right?
Like the game isn't really about the hacking and slashing, it's
about you collecting these items.
And I feel like, that's kind of what this is.
This is all about just collecting the people.
Hmm. Maybe experiencing the story
secondary and this the actual fighting is like third.
We have attempted to buy one of the upgrade packs or welcome
packs. Yeah, I think I will.
Yeah, I think I will like Like if there's anything that I like
there is he's collecting carriages and assorted woman and
befriending Dragons, thankfully not big-breasted Dragon, so hmm.
Maybe why not gonna like? I don't know if it's that kind
of game, I'm going to bash the UI some more.
Okay. So in addition to be confusing,
it's just really difficult to even start a game.
I haven't played this game for maybe a day and I picked up
Morning and I just for fun counted.
The number of TAPS, it took twenty eight Taps from launching
the game to actually playing a level, which is bananas.
I had to like bananas. Well, I'm sure we'll talk about
the download things soon. Oh, yeah.
Downloading a play, The Daily Game.
There's read this story. There's choose your characters.
It's just so Bonkers. Yeah.
Like who is going to sit there and tap 28 times, just play this
down game. They also love arrows.
Oh yeah, the real there are Three arrows on screen telling
you, which direction you're going in.
It's just so kill Arius. There's have been like some
focus group with a really concerned that players won't
know which direction they're running in without three arrows
because you get the Giants Arrow, where you tap on the
screen, which takes up probably an eighth of the screen which
serves no purpose. Yeah.
You know, is where your thumb is moving?
You have an arrow around your player again indicating the area
they're running. Yeah, well the player is running
in that direction too so you can surmise the direction it
running. There's a mini map on top with
an arrow showing, which way you're running.
Like, I know which way I'm running.
Like, I understand you sure is your thumb going the right way?
I don't even tell you, you can you can control your character
from anywhere on the screen, but we recommend the lower third,
because this giant ass arrows it'll cover up everything.
It's just so crazy. I don't understand.
This is why I got annoyed, sure. You're not lost in this game,
right? They take the title, very
seriously. It's like, hey, I know it says
reality of loss but we really don't want you to be lost.
Here. You gotta drag that are oh so
you're not lost. That should be the name of the
game call. You are.
Oh, I know. Yeah.
There's just it's just one of those decisions.
This baffling is maybe three different teams.
I won t, Maids other machines are one team, made the character
design or nearly 13 made the UI or let it touch you.
I and each time I like oh yeah we had put an arrow on, that's
truly somebody. It is, you get three hundred
arrows on the screen, the number of arrows actually didn't strike
me as odd. It just seemed sort of All that
go awesome about the right amount of arrows.
Okay, we do have to talk about this download thing though
because this is not a game that's friendly or no internet
connection at all. Oh boy.
Yeah. Oh boy.
Every single mission that you have to do.
You have to download at least like two megabytes of the.
I don't know what it is. Yeah.
Is it the background? Is it?
The characters that are in there?
Is it the voice something? I don't understand like why this
game was so large to begin with when we're going through the
Callahan's, right? Yeah.
Like two-and-a-half Kings a download to begin with, right.
And then seemingly it every like mini chapter.
There's little pop-up. Oh good.
A download another 100 Meg's. And this is, these are set
chapters. It's not like a branching tree
of choices. You made all the choices rights,
assemble a new level for you. Yeah, it's baffling.
It is baffling. You also cannot play it without
internet connection at all. Which is silly, which is crazy.
I think it just seems to me. That was just a sign that didn't
end. Oh, just doesn't quite get
mobile games. I mean, perhaps they're being
made in, you know, the technological Paradise, there's
Japan where there is blanketed in warm, wonderful, Speedy,
Wi-Fi at all times, that's absolutely true.
I mean, Japan and Korea both have when using internet
connections where the phones are like the primary devices that
use internet connection. So yeah.
But you know you come to New York and I almost backed up, you
know, but you won't be playing this game.
Yep. And then even if you are, you
like, oh well am I going to spank 300 Meg downloads to play
this next level like on my Verizon 3G?
Like no I'm not it's just yeah it's just so it's just so weird.
I mean the fact that they actually have to download it to
play then it's sort of silly. Where yeah it's like maybe like
even please download. Yes.
Right. There's only one bag.
There's one path you're gonna go.
You're gonna do that chapter next if you want to be able to
do that chapter next just like have it.
Ready. Okay.
Yeah, any other bad point said, one, that is it surprisingly,
how many days seven days? Three.
Wow, I applaud you for that trying.
I tried, but no. Yeah, I play 47.
Well, how far did you get Sam? What what chapter might you be
up on? Let me open up drug.
Are you lost? We come back in 5 minutes.
Once a downloaded, the new You updates collected all the daily
bonuses, and select these characters.
It's getting there. So I'm in chapter one part for
the Miss, Holt, the Miss Holt, okay?
And I've completed that okay, well, strangely enough, I'm also
in chapter one number for the Miss Holt, but I'm in chapter 1,
the heart of the forest. Yeah, I'm at the end of it.
Do you understand stuff about matching elements that of your
team to the dragons or the bosses you can be fighting?
Not really no. Jimmy you ever fail a level?
No ever. No, yes, yeah, I mean, it's not
only super easy to play to the actual levels.
You can set it on auto mode L just like blast through it.
When I realized never stop sneaking, does the like Auto
attack for you, I thought, wow, what a boring game you'll be.
But actually, that turned out to be kind one of the longest
running games. Actually, I played.
Yeah, just because they did such a good job, be like the strategy
and kind of replayability, whereas they did not have it
here. It's yeah, I really try.
I'm trying to find out even why I like it.
Because it has great J-pop at the beginning.
It's true. That's why will you be playing
more of this game? Absolutely not.
And I will be freeing my phone up of three gigabytes of space.
Okay, I'm actually going to be playing a little bit more to
find out what exact because I think there's a campaign.
There's like a said, campaign. The story is semi intriguing.
Hmm. So I'm going to finish it out.
I just unlocked all the tabs on the bottom screen so I can wait,
I know my section. And I now have a section where I
can improve my castle. She's didn't even know you had a
castle. But gracious, very much, like
clan of clash Clash has that all maybe design home.
Imagine a interior design element to it, nothing like
that. I'm sorry.
You never know. All right, we'll check in next
week, with a new segment is Sam still playing regalia lost or is
Sam completely lost. Now it's my turn to choose.
Hmm. Oh, the trepidation I was that,
oh, just wondering how to This up, it is but it's not a golf
game. Oh my God, that's just me.
Cold sweat few units. There is no goal for the
foreseeable future Sam. You have seven days to play
hordes of enemies. Hmm, a fun pick up and play
Roller, bralet, brawler, brawler was a hard word for British
people to say, wow, Rolla brawler.
It was fun. That attracts me to it, pick up
and play. Yes, brawler sure.
Yeah. Yeah, this looks great.
It's fun to Muncie. Destroy bad guys.
Try it. The game is a single-player
horde /wave survival High School game designed for short bursts
of entertainment. Hello, you're speaking my
language with simple tap or swipe based controls.
Hello. Anyone can easily pick up and
play without going through complex tutorials?
Thank you. You you hear this is an Edwin
game. Hordes of enemies features,
three movie-inspired scenes to play with each with different
enemies. The Last Samurai, a Samurai and
his katana. Nami of ninja zombie
apocalypse:. A girl in a baseball bat against
the waves of Undead against the waves of Undead yellow make
sense, the chosen one hero must face countless amounts of agents
in a brawl fight. Now, in the movie that is hmm
Matrix. Yes, yes yes.
Lots of great game features. Optional, blood effects.
Hmm, animated iMessage stickers. That's a point.
Number two iMessage stickers, they had me at I beseech
stickers. It is available now for free.
With in-app purchases. I believe.
All right, I'm looking forward to this Edwin.
Oh, that is a genuine this time. Excellent.
Everyone thinks of the week, over breakouts of this
entertainment-based, thing of the week box.
We've got trapped in. Okay.
I'm is a, might think of the week, the week is to actually do
things that I say. I'm going to do though, is this
like action notes for yourself that and you're actually going
to do them? Yeah, I think in this, in this,
modern culture, it has become so endemic.
The people do Just go. Yeah, we'll do it but actually
not that. I am trying to consciously
notice. When I do that I say and then
not do it or at least be very make a very deliberate effort to
think about things, I say yes to and then do them if I say yes.
But then also say, no, it's a little bit.
Like one of those books you had back in the old book club days,
minimalism essentialism the essentialist Essentialism
essentialism by Greg McCune McCowen McEachern Kyurem.
Yeah yeah only two and a half years up, reread it.
I'm actually gonna try and put into practice.
Okay, so we will see how this goes.
Can you give me an example of something a little trivial
example, but I think is something that many of us would
do, and that is only week I had said to, you know, some friends
like, oh yeah, well, if we go for drinks on Friday and it's
just a there very easily without actually.
Meaning it, right? Yeah, that's right.
Yeah. And then, of course, Friday,
things around and I'll show you what we're doing and ends up
there over drinks. In Jersey City.
Mmm, which as you know, yeah, that's a death trap for anyone
in Manhattan, but I said, no, I as much as I wanted to go home.
I said, no no, Ed. When you had said, yes, and you
shall go to Jersey City. How is he did go?
I went, I was, he said no to yourself, I said no to saying,
no? Okay, because I'd said, yes,
right. And I think, in the past, I
would have flaked. Yeah, maybe mean like oh sorry.
Something came up. I can't make it or some other
BS. Excuse will have a headache or
whatever, but no, I went and I had some delightful drinks on a
rooftop in Jersey City, overlooking the Manhattan
skyline and I was home by 10:00 our great.
So, I was quite proud of myself, but I say there was a thing that
was going to that. I said I do.
I think the old days I probably would not done it.
Yeah but just being just noticing myself and going you
know what know you are going to do it.
I did it. Yeah so I mean I sound like a
trivial example know exactly in the past that is something I
totally would have just. The thing is like I can totally
relate to that. Right?
There are so many times where I say, sure I'll come out to your
party on Saturday. And I'm Han and I live in New
Jersey and there's no way there's no way I'm gonna be
coming out on Saturday night to just have drinks with you,
right? So I totally I completely
understand. No and maybe one day I'll get
there but until then I'm going to continue to be a flake and or
just pretend like I'm trying really hard to make it there on
the flip side of that is saying no to things.
I think the hardest thing is fighting the fomo.
Right. Yeah, yeah.
The police will be could say. Yeah, I think that's and social
media doesn't make it easier as well, because you're there.
Sat at home saying, oh, you said no to this party, but you see
all your friends at this party schedule their refreshing
Instagram. It will every five minutes,
right? And I'm like this is this is not
fun at all like I should have I should have gone.
It's and more reasons why you shouldn't be a flake or at least
just be deliberate about it. Yeah.
So have a good reason. To be truthful to yourself.
Yeah. And two others know.
So, stay tuned for next week when we shall, we visit and see
how I'm getting on with, is anyone still a flake of
deliberateness? Yeah, that's not a Snappy title
but that's all I could come up with for that.
Is that is it's hard, though. It's a hard thing onto my thing
of the week. I'm gonna go back to the
original formula and say, I've been playing a game called
Spider-Man. Aha.
Yes for hmm. So Insomniac games came out with
Spider-Man game for the PS4. Yes.
Even I've heard of this. Yeah, it's great looking.
And one of the best parts is you can fling around the city of
Manhattan in quite detail. Using your spider web.
Whew. Yeah.
Good to know and I hear they've done a pretty good job of
actually realizing the Manhattan geography pretty accurately.
It's probably one of the best-looking Manhattan games
since like That Grand Theft Auto game.
That was based in Liberty City. The don't call it New York City.
Yeah. What have you do?
There's quite a good polygon video of what Spider-Man gets,
right and wrong about Manhattan, right?
Which will show in the show notes.
Yeah, that's a good little post below watch that they play the
game and watch the video about it.
Yeah. Explain that if you're not going
to play the game like I think you should watch a video game
about it or video about it. That's all show.
