However, that game company is 26 00:01:16,500 --> 00:01:19,300 already pretty. Renowned in the gaming circles. 27 00:01:19,300 --> 00:01:25,200 They have first one of their big exclusive games came out for, I 28 00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:33,200 believe the PS2 called flower Sorry PS3 Wild Flower before 29 00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:35,200 that. I think there was a game called 30 00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:39,400 flow for the PS2 which in you are like a single cell organism 31 00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:43,800 making its way through life, collecting little things to eat 32 00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:52,800 after the tiny mouth after five. After flower came, I believe, 33 00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:55,200 journey journey. That's what I've heard of. 34 00:01:55,300 --> 00:01:58,900 Yeah, journey is just three know much about its beautiful game 35 00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:03,900 where you're sort of, you know, skirting around on the sand 36 00:02:03,900 --> 00:02:06,900 dunes possibly even flying at some points. 37 00:02:07,700 --> 00:02:12,000 What's very similar to what you might see in sky but it's sort 38 00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:17,800 of started this very emotionally driven music, musically 39 00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:22,300 accompanied. Game that's about like Discovery 40 00:02:22,300 --> 00:02:27,200 and, you know, unknown worlds, being very sort of the level 41 00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:30,700 itself like, you know, like the whole atmosphere is just the 42 00:02:30,700 --> 00:02:33,600 game and you sort of take it all in, right? 43 00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:39,100 It's like a very conceptual. You get everything from the 44 00:02:39,108 --> 00:02:41,100 ground up, is all very sort of like who. 45 00:02:41,100 --> 00:02:44,400 This is the theme, and this is the feelings and it's very 46 00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:47,100 carefully planned out. And I love attention to detail 47 00:02:47,300 --> 00:02:49,800 right? And Sky, sort of follows that 48 00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:51,700 but made on the mobile experience. 49 00:02:51,700 --> 00:02:54,700 So one thing that you do get less is the bigger screen that 50 00:02:54,700 --> 00:02:59,100 sort of immerse has you in but I still think they've done a 51 00:02:59,100 --> 00:03:02,100 pretty good job and sort of getting that feeling of 52 00:03:02,100 --> 00:03:07,100 exploration and Discovery and you know Wonder that's in these. 53 00:03:07,300 --> 00:03:08,700 Yeah, there's only one is to feel that. 54 00:03:11,100 --> 00:03:17,200 So in sky you are but a boy or a girl you can choose. 55 00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:21,800 And you have you start off with Sony gender options. 56 00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:23,400 That's a, that's a shame. Yeah. 57 00:03:23,500 --> 00:03:25,300 Well, it's sort of like nondescript as well. 58 00:03:25,300 --> 00:03:28,000 So, technically, they could, I mean, there are no, like, 59 00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:31,700 features like boobs or anything that really separates you. 60 00:03:32,500 --> 00:03:35,500 It's mainly defined by like, hairstyle with the baddest of 61 00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:37,700 the bad bad thing is gonna be no boobs. 62 00:03:39,500 --> 00:03:41,400 Nothing can be antithesis of what they're trying to go for in 63 00:03:41,408 --> 00:03:46,000 this game, okay? And you start off and it teaches 64 00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:49,700 you like how to jump it teaches you how to skirt around on the 65 00:03:49,700 --> 00:03:54,500 dunes and it teaches you how to fly essentially like making big 66 00:03:54,500 --> 00:03:57,200 leaps to fly around. But before that you get the 67 00:03:57,200 --> 00:03:58,500 story. Hmm. 68 00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:02,300 Something something stalls, were lighting the sky, and then they 69 00:04:02,300 --> 00:04:05,100 fell. And then some likes, I was lost 70 00:04:05,100 --> 00:04:07,200 they lost. Now, the children have to 71 00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:11,100 ReDiscover the light in order to set a pathway for generations to 72 00:04:11,100 --> 00:04:14,300 come boy, something like that. But it was It was where I 73 00:04:14,300 --> 00:04:18,600 haven't had my first problem. But I mean like, was it too 74 00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:21,100 heavy-handed? No. 75 00:04:21,399 --> 00:04:23,700 But wanted to skip it and I think we just ran it. 76 00:04:23,700 --> 00:04:26,200 A problem of. Hmm, not a problem, but things 77 00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:28,700 we've seen before of, oh, you have to see it again, if you 78 00:04:28,700 --> 00:04:31,300 don't fully complete, the whole thing the first time. 79 00:04:31,300 --> 00:04:34,300 Oh I see which I mean, I can understand but the same time as 80 00:04:34,300 --> 00:04:36,700 someone who just one thing. I don't play the game. 81 00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:42,100 I started up and we quickly realized, oh boy, I need 5 or 10 82 00:04:42,100 --> 00:04:44,800 minutes to get through this. I'll come back to it later and 83 00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:47,100 then because you probably quit out of it before, that whole 84 00:04:47,100 --> 00:04:48,200 introduction. Absolutely. 85 00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:51,000 Yes. There wasn't a way to skip it. 86 00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:54,200 Like there's no tap to skip. I thought that was like a long 87 00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:57,400 line, but hmm. That's odd. 88 00:04:57,700 --> 00:04:59,700 But yeah, so you kind of go through it. 89 00:04:59,700 --> 00:05:02,900 I was immediately drawn in because the music just swelled 90 00:05:02,900 --> 00:05:08,500 in my ears and I don't think it was that long maybe like two, 91 00:05:08,500 --> 00:05:11,600 three minutes real-time who smell that long. 92 00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:18,000 I think it's too long for me. But yeah, it was in normal 93 00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,000 people. This is totally fine, right? 94 00:05:21,700 --> 00:05:26,100 You're not a neurosurgeon as we've established, and, and game 95 00:05:26,100 --> 00:05:30,300 that I'm proceeds into really having not too many tutorials. 96 00:05:30,300 --> 00:05:32,700 There might be some little floaty bits about like, hey, you 97 00:05:32,700 --> 00:05:34,000 know, you should tap on this icon. 98 00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:37,900 But what I really appreciated was the lack of English, the 99 00:05:37,900 --> 00:05:45,000 lack of, you know, really direct instructions on how to proceed, 100 00:05:45,500 --> 00:05:48,100 there was some and like giving you an instance of like, hey, 101 00:05:48,100 --> 00:05:51,700 you should tap on this to like, you know, you Your signal to 102 00:05:51,700 --> 00:05:56,300 like make friends and you should you should go to this location 103 00:05:56,300 --> 00:06:00,000 to start the next thing. And those are like nice little 104 00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:04,400 usually like iconography that followed but overall like it 105 00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:06,900 wasn't like hey let's stop the game right here. 106 00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:12,500 Let me give you this instructional overlay to do this 107 00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:15,700 and then proceeded to talk to this person. 108 00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:19,600 Well, there's only game we played, oh, the the Ares virus, 109 00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:21,700 virus virus. Yes, is the one that Springs to 110 00:06:21,707 --> 00:06:24,200 mind? Perhaps, it'll have you handed 111 00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:26,600 me their text tutorials, very heavy-handed. 112 00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:29,800 It also sets you back in time as a flashback for a tutorial which 113 00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:33,500 I did not appreciate. But back to Sky children of 114 00:06:33,500 --> 00:06:37,800 light, there's a I was still confused about the wings power. 115 00:06:38,300 --> 00:06:42,900 Like you, when you fly, you use up energy, but then you collect 116 00:06:42,900 --> 00:06:45,300 light to replenish energy, something like that, I think. 117 00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:47,400 Yeah, pretty cool. So there's a red dot that you 118 00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:51,600 tap, that does something right? So I think this is kind of the 119 00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:54,800 charm of the game for me, is that a lot of these things 120 00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:57,200 aren't really, that clearly defined, right? 121 00:06:57,700 --> 00:07:00,200 And you sort of have to figure it out and get a feel for it. 122 00:07:00,700 --> 00:07:05,100 So from my understanding, the dots on your cape represents two 123 00:07:05,100 --> 00:07:08,800 things, it represents your level And it also represents the 124 00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:13,200 amount of I guess, jump that you have or flight that you have, 125 00:07:14,300 --> 00:07:17,900 the more of these dots that you have my understanding is that 126 00:07:17,900 --> 00:07:22,200 actually makes you fly a little higher and longer. 127 00:07:22,900 --> 00:07:26,600 So initially, you kind of start off with like hops that kind of 128 00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:30,500 allow you to glide through the air, but soon your jumps get 129 00:07:30,500 --> 00:07:32,900 stronger and you can actually reach the clouds. 130 00:07:33,300 --> 00:07:36,800 Oh boy, see the stars and capture that light for future 131 00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:41,800 Generations. And so, the main point of the 132 00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:47,300 game is for you to go around and free spirits that have been 133 00:07:47,300 --> 00:07:50,700 entrapped in this land. So initially, you start off with 134 00:07:50,700 --> 00:07:53,900 an access, your sort of in this like Island Hub, where their 135 00:07:53,900 --> 00:07:57,800 doorways in front of you. And, you know, that there are 136 00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:01,400 possibilities of like, multiple doorways opening, but it starts 137 00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:03,200 you off with one doorway and that sort of like your 138 00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:06,900 introduction level. And you go into the doorway and 139 00:08:06,900 --> 00:08:09,600 that's the first world it's like Valley of something and it's 140 00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:12,500 like this, nice, beautiful Greenery Hillside. 141 00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:17,300 Absolutely gorgeous land where you're kind of free to like just 142 00:08:17,500 --> 00:08:21,300 roam around and hop around for as long as you want, really. 143 00:08:21,900 --> 00:08:26,400 And then ultimately, you find kind of what looks like a ghost 144 00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:29,000 like a spirit. And when you approach it, it 145 00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:32,100 sort of animates and then leaves a trail for you to follow. 146 00:08:32,900 --> 00:08:35,400 And then you got to see, you got to sort of interpret the story 147 00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:38,500 that's being told by the notion by bike, the the gestures of The 148 00:08:38,500 --> 00:08:41,700 Ghost. And so you follow it and you get 149 00:08:41,700 --> 00:08:43,100 the story of like what's happening. 150 00:08:43,100 --> 00:08:46,500 And then ultimately, when you follow the spirit to a certain 151 00:08:46,500 --> 00:08:51,800 point, you see like almost an entrapped statue in place and 152 00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:57,400 then you light your candle and that unleashes the the spirits 153 00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:02,500 within and once that happens it teaches you how to do it. 154 00:09:02,700 --> 00:09:06,000 Emotional like a like an emote, like a gesture, right? 155 00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:08,000 Which is all seven. Exactly. 156 00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:14,300 Orange Justice. And and I think this is sort of 157 00:09:14,300 --> 00:09:18,500 the way that it's marking that you finished a chapter by 158 00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:23,600 learning more of these emotions. And I thought, and I thought 159 00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:26,400 that was kind of clever in a way because then you can use these 160 00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:30,300 emotions or like these emotes to signal to the people that are 161 00:09:30,300 --> 00:09:33,500 playing around you. And this multiplayer game 162 00:09:35,300 --> 00:09:36,300 different things that you can like. 163 00:09:36,300 --> 00:09:38,900 So I think the first one that you learn is like a point. 164 00:09:39,500 --> 00:09:42,000 You're just during pointing forward. 165 00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:44,900 And then so, in this first level, when you use, when you do 166 00:09:44,900 --> 00:09:47,200 come across, like other people, first of all, they sort of 167 00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:52,000 appear as like this hazy Avatar. But then when you get close to 168 00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:54,700 them, there's this little symbol of like, hey let's let's touch 169 00:09:54,700 --> 00:09:57,300 our candles together. Just the tip. 170 00:09:59,500 --> 00:10:01,600 And then when you do that and then the person the other person 171 00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:04,100 either agrees to do that as well, you can then see each 172 00:10:04,100 --> 00:10:07,600 other and like this fully fleshed-out form and then you 173 00:10:07,608 --> 00:10:10,200 can do these emotes. So that's sort of like the 174 00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:13,200 social nature of the game. I think there's like, no, it was 175 00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:14,700 sort of cut in, but I didn't know. 176 00:10:14,700 --> 00:10:17,000 It was multiplayer rice. Like, something is kind of 177 00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:19,500 hidden away from you because I have my understanding is all for 178 00:10:19,500 --> 00:10:22,300 the tutorial, then that's when you get to the multiplayer. 179 00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:25,800 Part of it, right? So it's all sort of embedded 180 00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:29,800 within the gameplay and it's it feels nicely passive in a way 181 00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:34,600 like it doesn't require you to really interact with the other 182 00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:36,800 players. I think there are certain things 183 00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:41,400 that you can enjoy playing together like so at one point, I 184 00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:45,100 became friends with like this Rando and we started meeting 185 00:10:45,100 --> 00:10:47,200 fellow child of the likes of right. 186 00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:50,600 Sounds creepy, but we started flying around together and 187 00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:53,700 started doing sort of the level together and I That was kind of 188 00:10:53,700 --> 00:10:57,100 interesting and that you can follow them along or like they 189 00:10:57,100 --> 00:11:00,000 can follow you along right? Am I no communication or rather 190 00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:02,500 you going to communicate through these limited set of gestures, 191 00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:04,300 right? You don't get to see the 192 00:11:04,300 --> 00:11:08,800 terrible user name or voice chat or text chat or anything else 193 00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:12,100 like that exactly, which is a really interesting and you could 194 00:11:12,100 --> 00:11:14,800 kind of get the sense of what the level they're on by seeing 195 00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:17,700 how many dots there are on the cape, if Dots. 196 00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:19,800 Yeah.

How far did you get in the game? 207 00:11:53,500 --> 00:11:56,000 I really interview. That was very delightful and 208 00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:58,600 describe the whole multiplayer aspect of. 209 00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:01,500 As you did, like, the joy of finding other people and then 210 00:12:01,500 --> 00:12:04,400 just having these are limited interactions, but then kind of 211 00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:07,200 finding real friends that you go play certain parts with. 212 00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:11,700 But I didn't actually get to that part because you do torial 213 00:12:12,900 --> 00:12:15,900 bit is just the sort of bits where you on Rails, you just Run 214 00:12:15,900 --> 00:12:20,100 down this Corridor. Run over here, do this witch. 215 00:12:21,700 --> 00:12:23,600 Wait.

I feel like you missed out on 220 00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:38,300 some beautiful aspects of this game. 221 00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:40,100 Yeah. I think I'm okay with us. 222 00:12:40,100 --> 00:12:42,600 But yeah, yes. I mean there was some great 223 00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:45,500 touches like your footsteps Echo when you're in a cave. 224 00:12:46,900 --> 00:12:49,800 Kids, I think that whole tutorial is of you in a cave. 225 00:12:52,700 --> 00:12:56,700 Yo, yeah, I was not catch me to play this game, so no one's 226 00:12:56,700 --> 00:12:59,100 surprise I think right. But I mean, I kind of could have 227 00:12:59,100 --> 00:13:00,900 tried harder. I kind of knew that this would 228 00:13:00,900 --> 00:13:03,300 not be your cup of tea, but, you know, I'm gonna try and try 229 00:13:03,300 --> 00:13:08,200 again, because I want you to appreciate games as an art form. 230 00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:11,400 Yeah, hopefully one day. Yeah, this is, I mean, I think 231 00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:15,400 it's just, I mean, not to cut too close, not to jump too much 232 00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:18,300 to do the three by threes. But like, this is the great 233 00:13:18,300 --> 00:13:20,600 thing about this is this is an amazing console game on your 234 00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:22,000 phone. Me. 235 00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:24,000 The downside is this is an amazing console game on your 236 00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:27,000 phone, right? And I'm generally does not a 237 00:13:27,008 --> 00:13:29,600 console. I don't know if these big epic 238 00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:32,400 games on a phone, right? And yeah. 239 00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:36,600 And I think this is the aspect where I felt like this game 240 00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:40,400 attempted to split that up in some way, right where it was 241 00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:42,500 like a pocket experience that you can enjoy. 242 00:13:42,500 --> 00:13:46,400 But once you sort of like dug into it, it gave you like the 243 00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:51,700 sense of wonder and you know, like people like gentlemen 244 00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:54,200 Ethology. Yeah that's like filled with 245 00:13:54,500 --> 00:14:01,100 delightful moments. Yeah, like, for me, this is this 246 00:14:01,100 --> 00:14:05,500 kind of strikes, the right balance of as usual and yet I 247 00:14:05,500 --> 00:14:08,400 can really dig into it. Mmm. 248 00:14:09,100 --> 00:14:13,300 Like, you know, you know, the aspect of the really beautiful 249 00:14:13,300 --> 00:14:17,800 scenery helps in that notion, but I think the ability for you 250 00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:20,900 to really not save and just leave off where you were and it 251 00:14:20,900 --> 00:14:23,100 sort of picks up like where you left off when you play it again, 252 00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:24,400 right? There's no sort of time 253 00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:27,700 quizzical. Actions you need to take exactly 254 00:14:27,700 --> 00:14:30,900 like once you get past that initial 5 minutes of like 255 00:14:30,900 --> 00:14:36,400 introduction and tutorials, like I feel it's a really easy game 256 00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:38,600 to sort of dip in and out of right. 257 00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:41,800 But like, there was still this aspect for me and this is like 258 00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:46,400 my personal issues, where if it's a really beautiful game 259 00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:48,600 like I feel like I needs my full attention. 260 00:14:48,700 --> 00:14:50,800 Hmm. And I kept looking out for 261 00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:53,200 moments where I can have my word, this game can have my 262 00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:55,700 undivided attention, because I wanted to experience things. 263 00:14:55,900 --> 00:14:59,500 For a longer period of time, which isn't usually the case for 264 00:14:59,508 --> 00:15:02,600 mobile games, mobile games. You just able to like, you know, 265 00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:06,000 turn it on, select the dots that you want to get rid of. 266 00:15:08,100 --> 00:15:12,800 And then turn it back off. Yeah, you're right and like and 267 00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:16,100 the situations that you use. Your phone aren't really 268 00:15:16,100 --> 00:15:20,300 conducive for long uninterrupted sessions of gaming, right? 269 00:15:20,300 --> 00:15:24,400 And the other aspect of this, that was kind of a downer. 270 00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:26,900 Was that it did require you to be online? 271 00:15:27,500 --> 00:15:28,900 Yeah. Yeah, I guess. 272 00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:31,900 But least understandably, so he's looking view, dr. 273 00:15:31,900 --> 00:15:37,700 Mario So should we say how far we go out? 274 00:15:37,700 --> 00:15:41,600 We know how far you got the shame. 275 00:15:43,300 --> 00:15:44,500 I am saying I should have done better. 276 00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:49,400 I think I've reached the fifth or sixth world, how many dots 277 00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:53,200 upon your keep, do you have or close to 5? 278 00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:57,300 So it gets a little harder as you progress, like initially, 279 00:15:57,300 --> 00:16:01,100 you just need to free one Spirit in order for you to get that 280 00:16:01,100 --> 00:16:03,200 first thought. And then, I think after that is 281 00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:06,600 like two dots, oh wow, you need to get to Spirits in there, to 282 00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:10,800 get to thats and then it becomes like five and then 10 and then 283 00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:12,700 20. So I think I'm in part where I'm 284 00:16:12,700 --> 00:16:16,800 between 10 and 20, that might be five or five. 285 00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:18,400 Yeah, something like that. One, nice. 286 00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:22,000 Yeah. Overall really enjoying this 287 00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:25,000 game but let's get to the three by threes. 288 00:16:26,700 --> 00:16:28,300 I must have one by one, but okay. 289 00:16:29,900 --> 00:16:32,600 I'll start us off this game is a beautiful game. 290 00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:36,100 I know, but not only that, like, I kind of want to mention like 291 00:16:36,100 --> 00:16:38,500 how beautiful this game is. You know, like some games. 292 00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:42,600 You take a look at something and, you know, because we played 293 00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:44,700 a lot of games now, like, we kind of understand the 294 00:16:44,700 --> 00:16:48,800 technology behind it, like, oh, this is just a Sprite or like 295 00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:51,500 this is a 3D thing that their rendering in this way, you know, 296 00:16:51,500 --> 00:16:54,200 they're using this engine, but this game would like, the cloud 297 00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:57,400 effects, like, it really made me wonder, like, how are they doing 298 00:16:57,400 --> 00:16:59,500 this? It's like you get to this part 299 00:16:59,500 --> 00:17:01,800 of the Is and it's like the first time you're actually 300 00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:04,900 really flying high and they're just clouds everywhere. 301 00:17:04,900 --> 00:17:06,700 Just rendered. Absolutely beautiful and they're 302 00:17:06,700 --> 00:17:10,700 all moving and it's all fluid. No and you fly through like 303 00:17:10,700 --> 00:17:13,300 tunnels of clouds would like light shining through and you 304 00:17:13,300 --> 00:17:16,300 see like a mountain in the distance and you just like sort 305 00:17:16,300 --> 00:17:19,400 of dumbfounded like how absolutely gorgeous this game 306 00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:23,000 is. And then yeah, it's it made me 307 00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:25,099 wonder again like it. Give me that like childish 308 00:17:25,099 --> 00:17:27,200 wonder if like how are they doing this? 309 00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:31,600 Like what's going on? Yes, I was very glad that I was 310 00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:33,100 able to get those moments from this game. 311 00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:41,900 Okay great, my second good point, very few games, allow D, 312 00:17:41,900 --> 00:17:45,200 really explore and feel like you're still making progress at 313 00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:49,500 the same time this game and other games from that game 314 00:17:49,500 --> 00:17:51,900 company. Really does this in a good way 315 00:17:51,900 --> 00:17:55,300 where you know you're just like Meandering but the enjoying the 316 00:17:55,300 --> 00:17:58,400 scenery, enjoying the environment but then even doing 317 00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:02,600 that. Feels like you're still validly 318 00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:08,200 enjoying the game, other games like GTA 5 or open World Games. 319 00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:10,400 You know it does have these moments of exploration where 320 00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:13,000 you're like going around but ultimately like that doesn't 321 00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:16,100 feel productive, right? The still missions to do exactly 322 00:18:16,100 --> 00:18:18,100 those to get. Yeah and with this game just a 323 00:18:18,108 --> 00:18:21,800 sense of exploration actually benefits you in some way because 324 00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:24,900 you might find the hidden Spirit that's tucked away in a corner 325 00:18:25,300 --> 00:18:29,600 you know that are extra space that you can get but allowing 326 00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:32,500 you to do that sort of made it feel all worthwhile. 327 00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:34,900 Yeah, this is a free to play game. 328 00:18:35,900 --> 00:18:38,500 But there is a monetization Sam. How did you find the 329 00:18:38,500 --> 00:18:41,700 monetization? It really wasn't a problem so 330 00:18:41,700 --> 00:18:43,500 that never really got in the way, I think. 331 00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:48,500 Really, you use the monetization for you to buy candles, which 332 00:18:48,500 --> 00:18:51,000 are like their in-game currency. But you can also achieve more 333 00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:53,300 candles as you play more of it by getting. 334 00:18:53,300 --> 00:18:57,900 It's essentially like the XP and use the candles to buy more 335 00:18:57,900 --> 00:19:00,700 emotes or like to level up your remotes. 336 00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:04,900 So I really didn't feel like I need to during my whole 337 00:19:04,900 --> 00:19:07,800 experience with it. But yeah, it's there and I'm 338 00:19:07,808 --> 00:19:11,100 glad that it's there. Yeah, but such a beautiful game 339 00:19:11,100 --> 00:19:16,100 is interesting that That's why the would have expected there to 340 00:19:16,100 --> 00:19:18,000 be an upfront cost. Yeah me too. 341 00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:21,100 But yeah. We'll see how this turns out for 342 00:19:21,100 --> 00:19:24,700 them because I feel maybe they could have been a little bit 343 00:19:24,700 --> 00:19:28,800 stronger with it but I think their sense of making it free 344 00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:32,600 was to allow for like these social things to happen, right? 345 00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:35,000 Yes you kind of want to throw these multiplayer games needs. 346 00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:36,900 Many people playing as possible, Mmm? 347 00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:40,700 Yeah. Well, that's good point the 348 00:19:40,700 --> 00:19:48,800 music it's really wonderful. I think normally With even 349 00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:51,400 mobile games. Like, you know, you kind of get 350 00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:55,700 like the discount version of the soundtracks where we just want 351 00:19:55,700 --> 00:19:59,000 this music to sound like The Avengers, or we want this music 352 00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:03,900 to sound like the, the latest military movie. 353 00:20:03,900 --> 00:20:08,500 And with this, it just felt so unique to the entire experience 354 00:20:08,500 --> 00:20:11,300 and it wasn't just like a soundtrack playing over and over 355 00:20:11,300 --> 00:20:14,400 again, it really matched what you are doing within the game. 356 00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:17,900 So if you like flying high, you got these like amazing. 357 00:20:18,100 --> 00:20:19,900 Send those that followed along with you. 358 00:20:20,900 --> 00:20:24,700 And then when you got to like, the more like gloomy-looking 359 00:20:24,700 --> 00:20:27,400 levels, like the music sort of quiet it down and like, the 360 00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:30,600 sound effects sort of took over, it was just really well done. 361 00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:38,800 I know footsteps, echoing caves drawing on that one experience. 362 00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:45,100 On to the bad points. Edwin, I'll let you start the 363 00:20:45,100 --> 00:20:50,300 well as it is a console game on your phone. which just means 364 00:20:50,300 --> 00:20:55,500 that it's For me, it's difficult to find console levels of 365 00:20:55,500 --> 00:20:58,800 attention and time upon my phone, right? 366 00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:03,800 I think. And it is a stunning game just 367 00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:06,900 felt a little bit like it mean it feels like it was trying a 368 00:21:06,908 --> 00:21:11,300 little hard. Yeah I think if I'm again I 369 00:21:11,300 --> 00:21:16,900 don't think I'm a common case but there's something about it 370 00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:20,000 from the beginning. It was like oh there's like it's 371 00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:23,900 all very serious or like it takes Not quite how to phrase 372 00:21:23,900 --> 00:21:27,300 it, like it's so beautiful and so detail-oriented in like, so 373 00:21:27,300 --> 00:21:32,200 polished that just comes across as a little cold, or I was 374 00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:33,600 little bit turned off by it. Hmm. 375 00:21:34,900 --> 00:21:38,100 Which, I know doesn't make any sense, but there it is. 376 00:21:38,300 --> 00:21:41,200 I think I think there's something to that, like, I feel 377 00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:43,100 it is trying to get you into a mood. 378 00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:46,000 Yeah, I think, from my experience with you I'd win. 379 00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:49,200 Ha Ha Ha. Lo these long six years? 380 00:21:49,700 --> 00:21:52,600 You don't like it. When people put you in a 381 00:21:52,700 --> 00:21:59,300 emotional order. When when forms of entertainment 382 00:21:59,300 --> 00:22:02,300 puts you in an emotional chord or is that is not what you like, 383 00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:04,200 they have to earn it. Yeah, right. 384 00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:07,100 Yeah. And I think I should have given 385 00:22:07,100 --> 00:22:09,600 you more time for it to go on it but I think I think there's 386 00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:12,500 something there where, like, you know, immediately from the start 387 00:22:12,500 --> 00:22:16,800 like there is something about it that directs you into like the 388 00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:20,000 sense of feel, right? I'm a sucker for these kind of 389 00:22:20,008 --> 00:22:23,600 things, you know? I'm very emotionally flippant. 390 00:22:26,100 --> 00:22:28,900 So I feel like I'm a sucker for these things and it just draws 391 00:22:28,900 --> 00:22:32,100 me right in and if you want if you want to see if your movie 392 00:22:32,100 --> 00:22:34,000 makes me cry, I'm like the perfect person for you. 393 00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:41,600 Okay. Sam any of the last bad points 394 00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:44,800 before we reveal the seven-day rating do my I have a couple. 395 00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:49,700 So it is quite buggy. So there are parts of the games 396 00:22:49,700 --> 00:22:53,300 where it requires you to watch this cutscene, that explains her 397 00:22:53,300 --> 00:22:56,000 of like, what's happening as you finish these levels and 398 00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:59,600 sometimes these things don't kick off until they're like, two 399 00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:02,000 or three people that are set around you in this like ending 400 00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:03,800 moment. I think if you're just alone in 401 00:23:03,808 --> 00:23:06,200 that moment, as sort of starts it off, but if there are people 402 00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:10,100 that are around you, it waits for the right time the other 403 00:23:10,100 --> 00:23:12,300 people. I know, it's really weird. 404 00:23:12,300 --> 00:23:14,800 So I think it's like all of us. Get to see it at the same time. 405 00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:17,700 It's Change. But there are moments where that 406 00:23:17,700 --> 00:23:23,500 kind of did a hiccup and I would either be watching the cutscene 407 00:23:23,500 --> 00:23:26,800 sort of halfway through because other people were already 408 00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:30,800 viewing it in some way or I would sit through the first 409 00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:33,900 cutscene and then it would immediately put me into that 410 00:23:33,900 --> 00:23:36,200 same cutscene again from the beginning and I won't be able to 411 00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:39,600 skip it. This is where like the social 412 00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:42,600 element kind of messes up the the single-player experience. 413 00:23:43,300 --> 00:23:46,500 But I felt like that kind of Drew me out and I don't know, 414 00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:51,200 it's just bugs. Second this gameplay could be 415 00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:53,800 confusing for a lot of people because it is kind of 416 00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:58,700 exploratory and Mission lists. So I can see where people could 417 00:23:58,700 --> 00:24:02,200 be turned off by, you know, not knowing where to go and not 418 00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:06,100 knowing really what to do. But overall if you look 419 00:24:06,100 --> 00:24:10,300 carefully and you look at the map or like the location here 420 00:24:10,300 --> 00:24:12,600 and yeah usually there's something that guides your like 421 00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:16,000 a little point of light or you know a lens flare or something 422 00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:19,200 like that. We can find JJ Abrams at the 423 00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:22,900 end. Hi, welcome to my room. 424 00:24:23,100 --> 00:24:25,700 It's a mystery box Sam. What it was. 425 00:24:25,700 --> 00:24:28,500 A final. Seven-year 1870, rating is six 426 00:24:28,500 --> 00:24:31,400 out of seven. Flying high flying high. 427 00:24:31,500 --> 00:24:34,600 Yeah, I really enjoyed this game, I think I'm going to 428 00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:37,500 continue to play more of it. I took like a day off just 429 00:24:37,500 --> 00:24:41,200 because of the nature of it and requiring my attention right up 430 00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:42,900 until the day of work to play this cave. 431 00:24:43,100 --> 00:24:47,100 Yeah. But other than that like it's, 432 00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:49,800 it's just absolutely beautiful. It reminds me of other games 433 00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:53,700 like Ico. Or Shadow of the Colossus where 434 00:24:53,900 --> 00:24:56,100 there isn't a lot of things obstructing. 435 00:24:56,100 --> 00:25:00,200 The screen things took away very nicely and it just allows you to 436 00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:03,400 enjoy the scenery and the atmosphere that this game has 437 00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:06,700 built for. You swooping low. 438 00:25:06,700 --> 00:25:10,100 It's a two days for me. Well, one to one or two days. 439 00:25:10,100 --> 00:25:13,400 Yeah, I really, I will pledge that I will get past the 440 00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:15,500 tutorial and you trashy experiences game. 441 00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:22,500 It is a beautiful game, I think potentially for me it is a game 442 00:25:22,500 --> 00:25:24,900 of the year. Contender Game of the Year 443 00:25:24,900 --> 00:25:26,300 Contender. Mmm. 444 00:25:26,300 --> 00:25:28,200 Never too early to start thinking about those. 445 00:25:29,900 --> 00:25:31,800 Yeah. Like I've absolutely enjoyed my 446 00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:35,000 moments with this game every time like I'm I end up taking 447 00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:38,600 screenshots which is available within the game itself which is 448 00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:41,700 very interesting. Like you can take there's a nice 449 00:25:41,700 --> 00:25:45,000 little interface for your advise you to take you eyeless 450 00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:48,200 screenshots and you eyeless video which is amazing. 451 00:25:49,500 --> 00:25:50,900 Yep.

Yes. 481 00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:33,700 Yeah.

But yeah, very cool. 489 00:27:58,900 --> 00:28:02,000 I know a lot about this game because I read this one book 490 00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:06,500 depths of Doom. I forgot what it was. 491 00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:12,200 It was like, oh, it was a book about like the creation of Doom 492 00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:15,000 or like the creation of its software, it was a really good 493 00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:18,300 book. Sort of handles the history of 494 00:28:18,300 --> 00:28:20,700 like how ID software got started. 495 00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:23,700 You know what they did to actually get this game out like 496 00:28:23,700 --> 00:28:26,100 what the games were created before, that gave them the 497 00:28:26,100 --> 00:28:29,000 knowledge to create this game and ultimately like what 498 00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:31,800 happened with quake and then quick to and all that stuff. 499 00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:36,500 It's just a really good sort of, I guess that time biography of 500 00:28:36,500 --> 00:28:40,800 John Carmack and John Romero, which are the The lead to, I 501 00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:44,500 guess cofounders of its software come back next week for sounds 502 00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:48,900 oral essay on the history of its software, Doom to available now 503 00:28:48,900 --> 00:28:52,100 on the IOS app store for 499.

That's right. 508 00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:09,600 That's how game should be played in my union. 509 00:29:10,900 --> 00:29:14,200 Yeah, once you got the mouse going, that was a whole new 510 00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:16,600 level of multiplayer. What you can touch the confusing 511 00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:20,100 thing because now everyone uses a wasd keys, which is your left 512 00:29:20,100 --> 00:29:22,700 hand. Whereas I grew up right hand on 513 00:29:22,700 --> 00:29:24,200 the arrow keys because that's how you move. 514 00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:26,900 Yeah, I'll have so much adaptation to do to this modern 515 00:29:26,900 --> 00:29:28,800 world, you know, you gotta get with it because we got to play 516 00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:33,300 some Pub G.

There's a whole bunch of 534 00:30:29,300 --> 00:30:32,600 fascinating back back story in history about how we got to this 535 00:30:32,900 --> 00:30:38,100 how Amway in the 70s managed to win a case against the the 536 00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:40,900 Federal Trade Commission and that kind of set the president 537 00:30:40,900 --> 00:30:46,300 for whole slew. Of multi-level marketing 538 00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:48,800 businesses to rise up. Right there seems to be a ton of 539 00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:51,600 them right now. Like well, with social media is 540 00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:54,800 suddenly the Advent of that is now meant that has been renewed 541 00:30:54,800 --> 00:30:56,700 interest in it, it's fascinating. 542 00:30:56,700 --> 00:30:59,100 Yes, it is. I think it came out last year 543 00:30:59,500 --> 00:31:02,500 but that is things like a 10 episode. 544 00:31:03,700 --> 00:31:06,600 And episode series that is very eye-opening. 545 00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:07,800 And I enjoyed a lot, or what is it called? 546 00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:12,800 Again, the dream, the dream, the dream and while you're listening 547 00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:17,100 to that, also, listen to, you must remember this, which is a 548 00:31:17,100 --> 00:31:20,100 podcast that has the details in the history of Hollywood. 549 00:31:20,700 --> 00:31:23,000 They do through a bunch of mini Seasons. 550 00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:28,700 I am working my way through the 12 episode, Charles Manson 551 00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:32,000 history in and live listening. Yeah, yeah. 552 00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:35,000 It's real. The wonderful Breezy topic that 553 00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:37,800 is but with, you know, the release of Once Upon a Time in 554 00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:39,900 Hollywood. I thought you realized I didn't 555 00:31:39,900 --> 00:31:43,100 really know anything other than like the name, right? 556 00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:45,600 And like something something murder something. 557 00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:48,500 Mmm. So this is very, very well 558 00:31:48,500 --> 00:31:51,600 researched, it has a certain charm to it. 559 00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:56,200 It's is very interesting. You can, like, you can hear the 560 00:31:56,200 --> 00:31:59,900 narration, you know, sometimes, if you kind of feel like the 561 00:31:59,900 --> 00:32:03,000 really glossy NPR shows, right? You kind of you don't even hear 562 00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:03,700 the narration. Ation. 563 00:32:03,700 --> 00:32:05,600 It's all like, oh you just gonna go with it? 564 00:32:05,700 --> 00:32:08,800 Here you kind of hear the narration working a little 565 00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:12,100 harder. Oh I think perhaps some other 566 00:32:12,100 --> 00:32:15,000 shows which I think kind of adds to the charm a little bit more. 567 00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:19,700 Interesting on track is a little bit like you're useless. 568 00:32:19,800 --> 00:32:23,000 Flatmates Stoner boyfriend noodling a guitar in the corner 569 00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:25,200 endlessly. So listen Christian music 570 00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:28,500 choices. Also the reenactments I could 571 00:32:28,500 --> 00:32:31,800 probably do, without do know. Other than that, those things 572 00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:33,400 aside, it is all very well researched. 573 00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:38,500 Very fascinating and on the whole, I'm enjoying it. 574 00:32:38,500 --> 00:32:42,200 I'm trying to think of those awkward reenactment sins. 575 00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:45,000 And like, those police shows that they used to do, right? 576 00:32:45,100 --> 00:32:46,800 Luckily is not. It's not like the reenact the 577 00:32:46,800 --> 00:32:50,000 whole scene is just sort of a sentence here and there. 578 00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:52,900 Gotcha with a try and get like Roman someone to sound like 579 00:32:52,900 --> 00:32:57,000 Roman Polanski to say something or nobody sounds French and I 580 00:32:57,000 --> 00:32:59,100 really want to see what Roman Polanski actually sounds like 581 00:32:59,100 --> 00:33:02,200 because he's polish and like well he does like personally 582 00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:07,900 sound polish but But you get the point across these. 583 00:33:07,900 --> 00:33:08,900 Yes. Because upon the cross is a 584 00:33:08,900 --> 00:33:12,600 stylistic choices to 12 episode miniseries is a few years ago. 585 00:33:12,600 --> 00:33:16,500 So you may have to scroll a ways back in your podcast capture of 586 00:33:16,500 --> 00:33:19,200 choice, but yeah, these both been very educational and 587 00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:23,900 enjoyable the dream and you must remember this or cool. 588 00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:26,400 I'm going to be recommending something. 589 00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:29,600 That is my thing of the week. That is not educational, right? 590 00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:33,300 I have re-watched. Avengers endgame. 591 00:33:34,100 --> 00:33:37,500 That is now come back on digital pulse 102. 592 00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:40,500 Well, and game is just an game itself. 593 00:33:40,500 --> 00:33:42,600 You're thinking about Infinity War. 594 00:33:43,100 --> 00:33:48,500 Oh, what the infinity war is the first part of the last, you 595 00:33:48,500 --> 00:33:50,200 know? Right, there was Infinity war 596 00:33:50,200 --> 00:33:51,600 and then there's Avengers and game. 597 00:33:51,900 --> 00:33:54,700 Oh yeah. Oh, one point is going to be 598 00:33:55,300 --> 00:33:57,600 Infinity War, part, 1 and part 2, or a membrane. 599 00:33:57,600 --> 00:33:59,300 That's ok. I think that was the initial 600 00:33:59,300 --> 00:34:03,300 idea but they just made it into two separate things. 601 00:34:03,400 --> 00:34:07,500 That sort of stands on its own. But yeah, I watched it again. 602 00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:09,400 I really enjoyed it. When I watch it in the theater, 603 00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:12,400 watch it again on digital. It was still really, really 604 00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:14,500 good. I do love the story of people 605 00:34:14,500 --> 00:34:18,000 watching, Infinity ball and not realizing it's a two-parter, 606 00:34:18,100 --> 00:34:19,699 right? So just stops in the middle. 607 00:34:19,900 --> 00:34:21,900 Like what the hell is this? Yep. 608 00:34:21,900 --> 00:34:23,699 Yep. That's a bad note to end on. 609 00:34:23,699 --> 00:34:27,900 Yeah, but also like solid movie like, I really enjoyed Infinity 610 00:34:27,900 --> 00:34:31,800 War but yeah, and games, very, very good, very emotional. 611 00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:36,100 Hmm. Look at the dot on. 612 00:34:36,100 --> 00:34:40,400 Look at her, I cried for times while watching in the theater 613 00:34:41,500 --> 00:34:43,400 and this time around. Only, I think I only like teared 614 00:34:43,400 --> 00:34:44,800 up like three times. Okay? 615 00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:50,699 Yes, Nikki Improvement. Yeah, the good thing about this 616 00:34:50,699 --> 00:34:56,199 is it sort of has I bought the digital version with bonus 617 00:34:56,199 --> 00:34:59,200 features which is a really strange way of delivering it 618 00:34:59,200 --> 00:35:02,300 because you suddenly get like a six-hour file, right? 619 00:35:02,300 --> 00:35:06,400 If you could to re-watch the behind-the-scenes or so during 620 00:35:06,400 --> 00:35:08,300 the commentary. Yeah, which is exactly funny 621 00:35:08,300 --> 00:35:11,900 Quirk of Digital Services. Now, I know and it's really 622 00:35:11,900 --> 00:35:15,700 silly because I kind of want it to just be a smaller file likes 623 00:35:15,700 --> 00:35:19,200 with different audio tracks because one of Benefits about 624 00:35:19,200 --> 00:35:22,400 these bonus features is to watch it with the commentary on and 625 00:35:22,400 --> 00:35:24,700 they already have like the different audio channels. 626 00:35:24,700 --> 00:35:28,100 Like, I don't know why. They don't just say, here are 627 00:35:28,100 --> 00:35:30,500 the director commentary? Like I don't know. 628 00:35:31,300 --> 00:35:33,200 Yeah. Having to go through that entire 629 00:35:33,200 --> 00:35:36,100 movie and then like discovering that there is a commentary 630 00:35:36,200 --> 00:35:40,800 version of the movie and full afterwards is very Troublesome 631 00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:42,700 because like these things don't have chapters. 632 00:35:42,700 --> 00:35:46,700 Like you can't forward to the chapter where the commentary 633 00:35:46,700 --> 00:35:50,200 movie starts. Well pretty annoying but 634 00:35:50,400 --> 00:35:54,300 commentaries very good resource for others. 635 00:35:54,300 --> 00:35:57,800 It is the Russo Brothers providing context and 636 00:35:58,200 --> 00:36:00,400 behind-the-scenes knowledge of how they shot things. 637 00:36:00,700 --> 00:36:05,800 Very good. I always find that the usually 638 00:36:05,800 --> 00:36:07,900 find that the commentary is often more interesting than the 639 00:36:07,900 --> 00:36:10,600 movie, which I feel no, I totally agree. 640 00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:12,800 Like that's what I used to do. So I used to have a LaserDisc 641 00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:16,600 Claire ice and later, this players usually came with like 642 00:36:16,600 --> 00:36:18,200 the DVD commentaries or like that. 643 00:36:18,200 --> 00:36:22,300 I mean, commentaries the LaserDisc commentaries and I 644 00:36:22,300 --> 00:36:25,300 think that's where my first love of podcasting. 645 00:36:25,500 --> 00:36:28,900 Sort of was born Heights, because I'd be getting so much 646 00:36:28,900 --> 00:36:32,400 context and information from the the directors, and sometimes the 647 00:36:32,400 --> 00:36:33,800 actors actually talking about like there. 648 00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:37,300 In the movies I found that to be a lot more enjoyable. 649 00:36:37,300 --> 00:36:40,800 I used to record them on cassette hmm and listen to them 650 00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:45,800 right which is pretty much a podcast, you've taken the 651 00:36:45,800 --> 00:36:49,200 directors commentary and turned into podcast you know my we 652 00:36:49,200 --> 00:36:50,700 watch it. Maybe. 653 00:36:51,200 --> 00:36:52,600 Yeah. Have you watched it? 654 00:36:52,600 --> 00:36:56,200 I have I was really late to it but I've avoided any spoilers. 655 00:36:57,100 --> 00:36:58,300 Yeah yeah. It's pretty good. 656 00:36:58,300 --> 00:37:00,600 Hmm, yeah, very good. Yeah. 657 00:37:02,500 --> 00:37:05,000 Bill bonus thing of the week tool back catalog is now 658 00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:07,500 available on Spotify. Very excited by that. 659 00:37:07,500 --> 00:37:11,800 I have, I've listened to list made a playlist it with 660 00:37:11,800 --> 00:37:13,100 suggestions of where, to start with tool. 661 00:37:13,500 --> 00:37:16,800 How was it Sam? It was good, I do good. 662 00:37:16,800 --> 00:37:20,600 I don't think I really realized that tool was prog metal. 663 00:37:20,700 --> 00:37:23,200 They blur boundaries a little bit but right I think I'll 664 00:37:23,200 --> 00:37:27,000 certainly pretty groggy and wacky. 665 00:37:27,100 --> 00:37:30,000 I think there is like a Venn diagram of people who listen to 666 00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:35,800 Tool and people who listen to Fish / boy might be a pretty big 667 00:37:35,900 --> 00:37:39,800 cross section. I'm happy to say, I am not in a 668 00:37:39,808 --> 00:37:42,700 cross-section. You're strictly in the fish 669 00:37:42,700 --> 00:37:48,400 section. But yeah, I feel there is a 670 00:37:48,408 --> 00:37:49,800 theory. There are certain qualities of 671 00:37:49,800 --> 00:37:51,900 it and, you know, like, with any prog metal, I feel like there 672 00:37:51,900 --> 00:37:54,800 are lots of similarities in terms of like Cadence and music 673 00:37:54,800 --> 00:37:57,600 to that compares itself to classical music. 674 00:37:57,600 --> 00:37:59,900 Yes. Like no, I don't know what to 675 00:37:59,908 --> 00:38:02,600 call it like that beats and stuff, you know, and some of the 676 00:38:02,600 --> 00:38:06,400 scales they use Quick. Orion chanting any kind of all 677 00:38:06,400 --> 00:38:07,500 things they have.
