1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,000 Ten days away. Welcome to seven days to play 2 00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:04,600 your Weekly mobile game review program. 3 00:00:04,600 --> 00:00:08,000 I'm Sam. And I'm Edwin each week, except 4 00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:09,700 for the last week, which was two weeks. 5 00:00:09,900 --> 00:00:15,600 Every two weeks we review a new mobile game and I chose Tomb of 6 00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:21,100 the Mask Tomb of the Mask. Tomb of the Mask is a 2016 game 7 00:00:21,100 --> 00:00:25,200 by happy magenta but also has the name Play Gin Dairy on the 8 00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:26,800 front. So I don't really understand how 9 00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:29,400 these games you use work. I guess I just all collaborate 10 00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:32,000 on everything. Oh yeah, I think maybe pledging. 11 00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:36,400 Dairy is the publisher. If they'd probably be played in 12 00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:41,100 Derry, is the publisher. And what is it pure magenta? 13 00:00:41,100 --> 00:00:43,800 Is that what you said? Happy magenta, happy magenta is 14 00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:45,200 developer. My favorite color. 15 00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:48,300 You may remember pull each and every from our very first ever 16 00:00:48,300 --> 00:00:52,500 episode 1, Bo Masters. How would you describe the 17 00:00:52,500 --> 00:00:55,700 gameplay mechanic of Tomb of the Mask? 18 00:00:56,100 --> 00:01:01,500 This is a arcade Adventure. Adventure question mark, 19 00:01:01,500 --> 00:01:04,700 arcadius question, Adventure question, mark. 20 00:01:04,700 --> 00:01:10,100 Yeah, it's kind of, like, a puzzle action action can write 21 00:01:10,100 --> 00:01:12,700 as a little bit of puzzle to it. There's a little bit of puzzle. 22 00:01:12,700 --> 00:01:15,600 There's little bit action. You got to move quick, right, 23 00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:17,600 there's a bit of dexterity involved. 24 00:01:17,700 --> 00:01:18,700 Yep. It's not turn based. 25 00:01:18,700 --> 00:01:20,700 You got to be on there with your thumbs. 26 00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:25,000 You play as mr. Tomb or mr. 27 00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:27,700 Moss. I think you'll carry it does 28 00:01:27,700 --> 00:01:29,200 wear a mask, so I'm going to having a coin mr. 29 00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:32,600 Mask, you You are in different levels which I assume are tombs 30 00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:36,000 of this ancient Mayan Temple. I think I get the sense that 31 00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:38,400 it's like, some kind of mine thing because you start off in 32 00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:40,000 some like, pyramid looking thing. 33 00:01:40,100 --> 00:01:41,900 Mmm. Yeah, beginning of the game and 34 00:01:41,900 --> 00:01:44,100 then when you press start it like zooms you in. 35 00:01:44,700 --> 00:01:47,500 Yeah. No, it's not super strong old 36 00:01:47,500 --> 00:01:49,000 story. No, start. 37 00:01:49,100 --> 00:01:49,900 No. You know what? 38 00:01:49,900 --> 00:01:52,500 One of my bad points like a sport. 39 00:01:53,500 --> 00:01:54,700 Yeah. And it kind of reminds me of 40 00:01:54,700 --> 00:01:57,000 Pac-Man. Yes, where you have to collect 41 00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:00,700 the dots and stars. But also combine that with a 42 00:02:00,700 --> 00:02:03,300 maze will traps. Exactly. 43 00:02:03,300 --> 00:02:07,100 So whenever you swipe in any direction, it moves your 44 00:02:07,100 --> 00:02:09,500 character in that direction until it hits a wall. 45 00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:11,300 Yeah, we actually quite a nice mechanic. 46 00:02:11,300 --> 00:02:12,600 There's something pleasing about that. 47 00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:15,200 Yeah, but that potion, it's not like other games. 48 00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:18,500 Maybe have like swiping, hold for anything to move units. 49 00:02:18,500 --> 00:02:21,100 To flick, move flick, move, flick move. 50 00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:24,100 Let me forget what game it is. But there is sort of like there 51 00:02:24,100 --> 00:02:27,900 wasn't any s game where you had to push blocks in certain 52 00:02:27,900 --> 00:02:29,800 directions. Right? 53 00:02:30,100 --> 00:02:33,400 And it had a very similar mechanic where like if you press 54 00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:34,700 the One Direction? No, just keep going. 55 00:02:34,700 --> 00:02:37,400 Until it hit the wall. And so you look at the map 56 00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:41,600 right? And you would be forced to try 57 00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:45,900 and make the right sequences of moves so that you don't hit a 58 00:02:45,900 --> 00:02:48,300 section of the wall that has spikes, which obviously means 59 00:02:48,300 --> 00:02:51,600 that if you hit it, you die and it's the same thing for here, 60 00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:54,300 right there is going to be some areas where the walls have 61 00:02:54,300 --> 00:02:57,900 spikes. So you got to make sure to swipe 62 00:02:57,900 --> 00:03:00,300 your dude. Due to a direction where told 63 00:03:00,300 --> 00:03:01,300 you that? Yep. 64 00:03:01,500 --> 00:03:06,900 Through to a wall, doesn't does not have spiky spikes. 65 00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:11,600 You get maybe half a second or a second to move before the spikes 66 00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:14,500 appear, right? But there are some some walls 67 00:03:14,500 --> 00:03:17,000 where the spikes are just there. Well, the pumice bikes it's 68 00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:19,600 Perma spikes. There are sections of the wall 69 00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:23,100 where if you stay there for like a split second, the spikes will 70 00:03:23,100 --> 00:03:25,700 come out. So you have the affordance to 71 00:03:25,700 --> 00:03:28,800 move there very quickly before you have to move out of the way. 72 00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:33,400 No, I said that differently. Yeah, there's a whole bunch of 73 00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:36,700 other things. There's the little expanding 74 00:03:36,700 --> 00:03:40,000 face guy. Mmm, who periodically will 75 00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:44,600 expand, as if inhaling helium and then breathing it out. 76 00:03:44,900 --> 00:03:47,500 And if he touches you, you die, you die. 77 00:03:47,700 --> 00:03:50,500 And sometimes there are aliens that drop down from the ceiling 78 00:03:50,500 --> 00:03:55,100 and if you touch them you die and then sometimes there is a 79 00:03:55,100 --> 00:03:58,600 goblin that spits fire periodically and if you touch 80 00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:02,000 the fire, Are you die? So, you know you have to work as 81 00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:05,200 they say, pretty hard to stay alive, right? 82 00:04:05,500 --> 00:04:08,800 Lots of lots of barrels, reference them, lots of things, 83 00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:11,000 you need to take into consideration in order for you 84 00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:14,400 to complete each level. My favorites of all which wasn't 85 00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:16,100 actually trapped more of a little game mechanic. 86 00:04:16,100 --> 00:04:19,600 Is you find little slightly block and you just zoom straight 87 00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:23,900 off in a kind of a Sonic in the tunnel kind of fashion which is 88 00:04:23,900 --> 00:04:26,600 very pleasing to me. Mmm then we have you're not 89 00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:29,300 pleased by that. Well I'm generally not By the 90 00:04:29,300 --> 00:04:32,900 game. I'm gonna find a tiny grain of 91 00:04:32,900 --> 00:04:39,100 gold in this River of silt much, like the goal that you had to 92 00:04:39,100 --> 00:04:41,600 collect within the game. But, you know, you see gonna 93 00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:45,000 find something. Now, I like that when you find a 94 00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:49,800 little little r, a trampoline, mmm, trampoline. 95 00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:51,900 And I call it. I can't say that I reached 96 00:04:51,900 --> 00:04:55,300 there. Okay, this is why I'm trying to 97 00:04:55,300 --> 00:04:59,300 skirt around the subject. Busted. 98 00:04:59,900 --> 00:05:05,000 Okay, well, speaking of which shall we say, how far we got 99 00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:08,400 into the game, sure we should mention there are two modes 100 00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:11,900 entirely obvious to the Casual player. 101 00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:15,700 But first, there's the, there's the arcade mode. 102 00:05:15,900 --> 00:05:17,000 So I think it was the original mode. 103 00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:18,500 So this game is actually a couple years old. 104 00:05:18,500 --> 00:05:21,200 And I first came out as like an infinite, scroll are where you 105 00:05:21,207 --> 00:05:27,400 need to keep collecting balls, no, collecting gold and out 106 00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:29,200 running. Something could have moving up 107 00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:31,100 behind you. Oh, that's gonna remind me quite 108 00:05:31,100 --> 00:05:33,600 a lot of balls rush in that way. Like, pretty similar mechanics 109 00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:36,600 like, yeah, and I guess kind of like Temple Run as well. 110 00:05:37,300 --> 00:05:39,400 Which is a game that you haven't tried yet, which is a game. 111 00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:41,000 I haven't played yet. So I know people keep mentioning 112 00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:44,000 it but I don't know what it is. So I'm gonna ignore it. 113 00:05:45,300 --> 00:05:48,100 That was arcade mode, though. That's what the default mode. 114 00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:52,100 I think in the last year, they added the map mode, which is 115 00:05:52,100 --> 00:05:56,300 pretty much your more standard level by level play. 116 00:05:56,800 --> 00:06:00,000 We're in Theory. There's a map is Autumn at all. 117 00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:02,800 This is a station of boxes connected together by line 118 00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:05,400 lines. Which again is not like to the 119 00:06:05,407 --> 00:06:06,300 story. Yeah. 120 00:06:06,300 --> 00:06:09,000 There are certain amount of stars that you can get. 121 00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:12,000 I don't know if this actually unlocks further Maps, I assume 122 00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:17,500 it does but I believe you can only play certain number of 123 00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:24,600 maps, add a 0 as as noted by the little lightning bolt on top. 124 00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:29,300 Enough energy. I think if you die too many 125 00:06:29,300 --> 00:06:33,400 times, that's my understanding, you get five lives but I could 126 00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:36,800 be wrong. Mmm, so it's not actually level 127 00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:38,600 of maps. It's thinks level of the amount 128 00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:40,400 of times you can die. Gotcha. 129 00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:45,800 So, where did you reach? I'm each stage, 28. 130 00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:54,000 Oh, I reached stage 8. Like what's really annoying is 131 00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:57,200 that I do? How many actual stages there are 132 00:06:57,200 --> 00:06:58,900 in total? Because you can just keep on 133 00:06:58,900 --> 00:07:04,600 scrolling much like two dots or you got the games, they do keep 134 00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:06,300 adding stages. So, if you look on this, the 135 00:07:06,300 --> 00:07:10,500 show notes, the app Notes, they will say o added 25 more stages, 136 00:07:10,500 --> 00:07:12,000 right? Well, at least, we're two dots. 137 00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:15,900 There's backgrounds and map numbers that actually keep track 138 00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:17,000 of. Yes. 139 00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:19,600 How many you can see coming? I mean, I don't there's no 140 00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:22,400 numbers here. It's just like a series of boxes 141 00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:25,500 with locks on them. Let me just say it's a very Why 142 00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:29,700 they go hard on the 8-Bit design, they go very hard, and 143 00:07:29,700 --> 00:07:36,000 it's not the accurate. 8-bit design that I like those story 144 00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:39,700 and inaccurate 8-bit designs on is an already mad at it, but 145 00:07:39,700 --> 00:07:43,000 they do some nice things. Is there's a screen effect which 146 00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:47,300 I know from Photoshop, which will put little bands of lines. 147 00:07:47,300 --> 00:07:52,000 When it puts one of the many, many, many modal windows that 148 00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:54,400 you need to tap to start playing. 149 00:07:55,100 --> 00:07:57,400 I need to restart because restart is quite frustrating. 150 00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:02,000 The sounds pretty nice, surprise that you notice sleepy. 151 00:08:02,100 --> 00:08:04,200 Well, you know, I'm a professional. 152 00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:05,700 I turned it off a little bit. Then turn it off. 153 00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:08,200 Turn it off right away. Yeah, I think I remember like 154 00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:10,600 the signs were pretty good. I mean, the sounds are pretty 155 00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:12,700 good. Well, there's that one big topic 156 00:08:12,700 --> 00:08:15,600 the rules coating around. Let's talk monetization. 157 00:08:15,700 --> 00:08:18,500 Oh my goodness. One of the first things I, you 158 00:08:18,500 --> 00:08:23,300 know, I I try to always note the first time player experience, 159 00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:27,700 you know? FTP knocks. 160 00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:30,900 The, the first time player experience, yeah, the new user 161 00:08:30,900 --> 00:08:35,200 experience, right? Or the, the sign up experience 162 00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:42,600 the 50 piece and this had a horrible, first time user 163 00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:45,000 experience. It's it kind of reminded me of 164 00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:49,600 Pandora where I opened it. And as soon as I opened it there 165 00:08:49,608 --> 00:08:52,100 was like a full screen. Add What? 166 00:08:52,100 --> 00:08:55,300 I could kill you. Tiny little X on the on the 167 00:08:55,300 --> 00:08:56,400 corner. Oh God. 168 00:08:56,400 --> 00:09:00,200 Yeah, and it off. I love that game hunt the X and 169 00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:01,800 then made me. It made me think, like, did I 170 00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:05,100 download the right app but you know, it's the spam have I have 171 00:09:05,100 --> 00:09:09,600 I got got right now being played and after you get rid of it 172 00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:12,900 there's like a little Banner ad that sort of is the only thing 173 00:09:12,900 --> 00:09:19,300 that's colored in a fairly monotone screen and it's, it's 174 00:09:19,300 --> 00:09:21,200 distracting. It's very distracting. 175 00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:24,700 And everything that you do, you finish a level? 176 00:09:24,700 --> 00:09:28,500 You lose a life, just brings you to a monetization screen. 177 00:09:28,500 --> 00:09:32,000 Oh the first thing that happened after I got rid of that, big ad 178 00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:35,400 was, would you like to subscribe? 179 00:09:35,500 --> 00:09:37,900 Hmm. So this is a new this game. 180 00:09:37,900 --> 00:09:42,600 This is a new thing in a game for 899 a week. 181 00:09:42,700 --> 00:09:48,700 I believe you can subscribe for the diamond membership to Tomb 182 00:09:48,700 --> 00:09:51,700 of the Mask, right?

So as you were saying, you get 184 00:09:54,200 --> 00:10:02,600 five lightning strikes, some amount of time you hear get 185 00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:07,400 endless plays unlimited energy, get 400 coins a day and then you 186 00:10:07,408 --> 00:10:09,500 can remove ads. This is the diamond membership, 187 00:10:09,500 --> 00:10:14,600 three days, free trial, and then 799 per week after that, which 188 00:10:14,900 --> 00:10:19,400 hmm, I don't know, making money off games is hard, but there's 189 00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:22,200 something. But to show that Straight away. 190 00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:25,000 You haven't actually played the game at all as K. 191 00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:27,800 It's very gross. Why would I pay this without 192 00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:30,200 having played the game at all or any kind of thing? 193 00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:33,300 Like, it's just a bit of a strange choice to put. 194 00:10:33,300 --> 00:10:36,000 Like that's the first thing you get hidden away in a menu which 195 00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:40,600 took me a while to realize is that you can pay 2.99 to remove 196 00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:45,300 an ad but my, the majority of the seven days I played it. 197 00:10:45,300 --> 00:10:49,100 I thought I my only choice was to spend 799 for a week. 198 00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:54,000 That's not actually the case you can spend 299 to remove the ads. 199 00:10:54,100 --> 00:10:56,000 They're you push pretty hard on that diamond membership. 200 00:10:56,000 --> 00:11:01,600 Yeah, I was actually playing this on my vacation and I didn't 201 00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:04,800 even realize that there is a 299 option and I always just assumed 202 00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:08,300 that the only way to get rid of the ads of 799 or something like 203 00:11:08,300 --> 00:11:10,100 that. For the monthly weekly. 204 00:11:10,300 --> 00:11:14,100 Weekly weekly 799. Weekly 799 weekly. 205 00:11:15,900 --> 00:11:18,500 Yeah, it's quite aggressive. They poured in the calculations. 206 00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:20,600 Whew. The fewer Thunders they get but 207 00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:25,400 for more money, probably makes them more than if it was cheaper 208 00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:27,500 and no one and more people signed up, I don't know. 209 00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:31,100 Well, that that's that's the other thing about iTunes 210 00:11:31,100 --> 00:11:34,900 subscriptions is I cannot tell you how many times I've 211 00:11:34,900 --> 00:11:39,200 subscribed for something on iTunes and forgot to unsubscribe 212 00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:40,600 to it. Of course, that's a big issue 213 00:11:40,700 --> 00:11:43,500 and it charges me for an extra month. 214 00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:45,200 Yes. No. 215 00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:49,700 Damn, right. And I just think that's so It's 216 00:11:49,700 --> 00:11:53,000 so it's very dark. Ux e, don't give you a good 217 00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:54,200 feeling. No no. 218 00:11:54,500 --> 00:11:56,100 And I think that didn't give me a good feeling about this game 219 00:11:56,100 --> 00:12:01,500 as well to be kind of front and center 799 a week, but hidden 220 00:12:01,500 --> 00:12:03,500 away. The server is a 299 option. 221 00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:07,100 Yeah which I don't know. Maybe in the past I would have 222 00:12:07,100 --> 00:12:12,000 been to 99 and the monetization for me was so strong that it 223 00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:16,200 kind of discounted the genuine nature of the gameplay, for me. 224 00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:18,200 It's pretty. It's pretty hard to play. 225 00:12:18,300 --> 00:12:21,700 Oh yeah, retail. And like, almost unplayable, 226 00:12:21,700 --> 00:12:25,500 really demeaning like things go because also is arkady, so the 227 00:12:25,500 --> 00:12:28,200 levels are pretty quick. Yeah, it takes you maybe 20, 30 228 00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:32,900 seconds, ish to complete a level and then you get a 30-second ad 229 00:12:33,100 --> 00:12:35,100 right there. Like, 50% of your time playing 230 00:12:35,500 --> 00:12:37,500 is watching that, that's pretty heavy. 231 00:12:37,500 --> 00:12:41,500 And on top of that, like, it's sort of makes it seem like, it's 232 00:12:41,500 --> 00:12:44,200 the, I mean, the, the original created the creator of this game 233 00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:46,400 might have had really good intentions, and creating a nice 234 00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:48,600 puzzle based game. Right. 235 00:12:48,700 --> 00:12:52,300 And to me because of the monetization, it almost makes it 236 00:12:52,300 --> 00:12:54,200 seem like this game is just a shell. 237 00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:57,600 For monetizing. Yeah. 238 00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:00,300 And like one of those many ketchapp games. 239 00:13:00,300 --> 00:13:09,400 Exactly that. You loathe My hack to make it 240 00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:13,700 playable is just to put into just put in airplane mode, zowie 241 00:13:13,700 --> 00:13:16,100 play and suddenly becomes way more playable. 242 00:13:16,500 --> 00:13:19,100 Oh, every muscle has Wi-Fi on though. 243 00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:22,000 We don't turn off the Wi-Fi. Yeah, I don't know if they don't 244 00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:25,600 have Wi-Fi and then I'd become quite playable. 245 00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:28,300 Mmm, which is how I got to level 28. 246 00:13:28,300 --> 00:13:31,900 I got ya. I didn't bother with that 247 00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:34,100 unfortunately and that's why I'm at level 8. 248 00:13:34,900 --> 00:13:36,400 That's that was sort of my threshold. 249 00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:41,300 I was like, oh boy. Yeah yeah, yeah I can't play 250 00:13:41,300 --> 00:13:47,900 this and But me the gameplay wasn't quite engaging enough to 251 00:13:47,900 --> 00:13:52,300 Warrant payment me to sucks. Like I think I wouldn't be mad 252 00:13:52,300 --> 00:13:54,800 if I pay to 99 up front. Yeah, he's why I keep coming 253 00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:56,700 back to? I'm sure I'm in the minority 254 00:13:56,700 --> 00:13:59,900 because I don't mind paying for apps up front. 255 00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:03,000 And I know many people do and the invitation is, you can play 256 00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:07,400 for free, but yeah, I would have quite happily pay this 299, 257 00:14:07,900 --> 00:14:10,600 played it for a few days, no ads. 258 00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:12,800 And I will be mad at it. Whereas now, I'm a little bit 259 00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:14,000 out of it. Right. 260 00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:19,400 Yeah, I'm the first experience is really put a bad taste in my 261 00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:21,500 mouth for the entire game in general. 262 00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:25,700 And it definitely has colored my experience in playing this game, 263 00:14:26,100 --> 00:14:30,200 it's colored yellow and purple, yellow and purple and a bright. 264 00:14:30,300 --> 00:14:33,600 Turquoise blue took walls. Let's get to the three by 265 00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:38,700 threes, three by threes. I've reached level 3 and you 266 00:14:38,700 --> 00:14:41,600 wait. Started off strong. 267 00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:43,500 Gotta feed that towards the end there. 268 00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:47,200 I did not prepare for this. It's all free style, baby hoof. 269 00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:51,900 It we'll do it live. Sam hit me with a good point. 270 00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:55,300 It is a game. It is a game that exists. 271 00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:59,200 It's a game that has existed for over two years with constant 272 00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:02,100 development. Kudos to the Developers for 273 00:15:02,100 --> 00:15:06,300 persevering through this game. That is true. 274 00:15:06,300 --> 00:15:08,200 It has. It was eat regular updates over 275 00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:10,300 the last two years and pretty good ratings. 276 00:15:10,300 --> 00:15:12,800 Apparently and in the App Store. Yeah. 277 00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:18,500 I enjoyed the did go pretty hard on the 8-Bit Graphics in a way 278 00:15:18,500 --> 00:15:21,200 that I don't think I've seen necessarily, like all the menus 279 00:15:21,700 --> 00:15:24,400 that little like screen effect, they do like the vertical 280 00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:27,800 banding or, I don't know, it's like, oh, yeah, and it kind of 281 00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:31,500 screens smooshing and smoosh out, like, turning off an old 282 00:15:31,500 --> 00:15:33,300 TV. Yeah, there's a name for that. 283 00:15:33,300 --> 00:15:35,700 Very good at the transitions. Like, I think there was a lot of 284 00:15:35,708 --> 00:15:38,100 attention, but and to the 8-Bit nature, I like that. 285 00:15:38,100 --> 00:15:42,500 It's like strict pixel art. Meaning like there aren't soft 286 00:15:42,500 --> 00:15:43,900 edges. Aren't different opacities. 287 00:15:43,900 --> 00:15:45,700 It's like other on. Off, which is cool. 288 00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:51,000 A valid, I guess a good point. Is that the actual gameplay has 289 00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:56,100 a pretty good mechanic of, you know, action-based / puzzle / 290 00:15:56,100 --> 00:15:58,200 dexterity? Which I enjoyed while I was 291 00:15:58,200 --> 00:15:59,500 playing. Yeah. 292 00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:03,000 Did you find the golfing aspect we needed to collect all the all 293 00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:05,000 the gold coins to get the three stars? 294 00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:08,800 Mmm. Yeah, I mean, I didn't find it a 295 00:16:08,808 --> 00:16:10,900 problem. Four of the eight levels that 296 00:16:10,900 --> 00:16:13,900 I've played of being able to collect all the stars, at least, 297 00:16:13,900 --> 00:16:16,000 you tried, Yeah. I mean, most of them, I was able 298 00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:19,000 to sort of see ahead and you have to feel like you have, you 299 00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:20,300 felt like you had to collect all the stars. 300 00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:22,500 Yes, for sure. Look, how can do okay. 301 00:16:22,900 --> 00:16:27,100 Yeah, I couldn't proceed on to the next level, which means that 302 00:16:27,100 --> 00:16:31,800 I doubled the amount of ads. Did you ever watch an ad to 303 00:16:32,700 --> 00:16:37,500 retry or to re structure? No to continue. 304 00:16:37,500 --> 00:16:40,100 Generates, as we're looking for knows, the re word I was looking 305 00:16:40,100 --> 00:16:43,000 for regenerate. What I don't think I've ever 306 00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:44,400 encountered that. Oh, okay. 307 00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:48,700 So In addition to watching an ad me every level you can. 308 00:16:48,700 --> 00:16:53,500 Also once you die when one of the numerous ways you can die, 309 00:16:53,900 --> 00:16:56,500 you can watch an ad to then we generate and continue the devil 310 00:16:56,500 --> 00:16:58,400 from where you were a guy rushed. 311 00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:00,700 Oh I see I don't think I did that. 312 00:17:00,700 --> 00:17:03,000 I think I just started from the beginning one because like the 313 00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:06,200 levels weren't that difficult like to start over from the 314 00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:08,400 beginning and the levels aren't that long? 315 00:17:08,900 --> 00:17:12,400 Yeah, I was probably gets longer and more difficult as you delve 316 00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:16,500 further into Tomb of the man. Mask mask. 317 00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:21,900 I got like those two modes, the map mode and the arcade mode I 318 00:17:21,900 --> 00:17:23,900 spent a whole bunch of time on the map mode. 319 00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:27,400 Only, really tried arcade mode in the last few days. 320 00:17:28,700 --> 00:17:32,500 Arcade mode reminds me a lot of balls Rush which was a game. 321 00:17:32,500 --> 00:17:36,600 We play it back in the day. Lots of games. 322 00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:38,600 Remind you a choice of balls Rush. 323 00:17:39,700 --> 00:17:42,100 Oh, I've got all my think of the week is quite exciting this 324 00:17:42,100 --> 00:17:43,600 week. Making your balls. 325 00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:47,500 Yeah, so though, I mean, has he kept coming at two games in one 326 00:17:47,500 --> 00:17:48,000 really? Lee. 327 00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:51,000 And it's, they are actually, different is sort of one being 328 00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:55,300 this sort of outrun outrun, the mysterious multicolored wall, 329 00:17:55,700 --> 00:17:57,800 and the other one is collect all the gems. 330 00:17:57,900 --> 00:18:01,800 Mmm, nice. Two games for maybe the price of 331 00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:03,200 one, if you choose to pay for it, my phone. 332 00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:06,600 Good point. If you turn on airplane mode, 333 00:18:07,300 --> 00:18:09,700 then there are ads and it's actually kind of fun to play. 334 00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:12,600 Yeah. Is that really a good point 335 00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:15,000 though? I guess so. 336 00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:17,000 Your didn't your crippling the app. 337 00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:20,700 It's a It's a well, yeah, intentionally crippling. 338 00:18:22,500 --> 00:18:25,400 Like this dog is really good, if you break one of its legs and 339 00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:28,900 then stops moving her. Sorry that was horrible bad 340 00:18:28,900 --> 00:18:36,000 analogy like dog to limp. Okay, we now we need the bats. 341 00:18:36,100 --> 00:18:37,200 All right. The best wines. 342 00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:41,300 Take, take the big fat Peach. Thats hanging over us. 343 00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:44,500 Yeah, I do hanging fruit. If you will biggest thing, is 344 00:18:44,500 --> 00:18:48,300 that this the monetization is just so gross. 345 00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:54,500 Grossly both words of gross. Grossly, done and gross and 346 00:18:54,500 --> 00:18:58,600 sickly that. It really took away from my 347 00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:01,500 experience of the entire game. Like it things just stopped 348 00:19:01,500 --> 00:19:07,600 being fun and whimsical. And I think even it being like 349 00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:10,400 pixelated, normally I find that Charming but it almost made the 350 00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:11,800 ads looking for that. I know. 351 00:19:11,900 --> 00:19:16,600 Stick out even more. Bianca has the contrast is quite 352 00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:19,100 yeah, of quite dry reading is like four bits. 353 00:19:19,100 --> 00:19:24,500 And then again, maybe dads are like extra HD for all those 354 00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:27,800 candy matching games where he. Yeah. 355 00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:31,600 And just a timing of the ads is just all it all seemed like it 356 00:19:31,608 --> 00:19:34,900 was all for monetization and that to me just what it's about. 357 00:19:35,100 --> 00:19:37,600 Taste in my mouth but it's a bad taste in my mask. 358 00:19:37,700 --> 00:19:40,400 Oh no. Go. 359 00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:41,900 Bad breath. You'd suddenly just this 360 00:19:41,900 --> 00:19:45,800 recirculating that are trapped in that mask and I see bad in 361 00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:47,600 the spacesuit. Never find a space suit. 362 00:19:48,300 --> 00:19:50,800 My advice. Surely they have air purifiers 363 00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:53,900 built into that harness. Hmm if you know tweet us at 364 00:19:53,900 --> 00:19:58,800 seven days to play my bad point, I mean the gameplay is pretty 365 00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:01,000 simplistic. There are some parts I've found 366 00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:03,000 fun. The ramp aline's, for example, 367 00:20:03,300 --> 00:20:06,900 kind of fun to zoom around little bit, but it's pretty 368 00:20:06,900 --> 00:20:12,600 simple and my interested. In after playing a few levels. 369 00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:18,900 Yeah, I think is a fine game, but I was not hooked my next bad 370 00:20:18,900 --> 00:20:21,500 point after even just playing eight levels of the game. 371 00:20:21,500 --> 00:20:23,800 I found the puzzles to be sort of like luster. 372 00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:27,100 I guess, I guess there are going to be like more moments where it 373 00:20:27,100 --> 00:20:30,200 that builds a little bit more excitement but overall it just 374 00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:31,900 seemed like more of the same stuff. 375 00:20:31,900 --> 00:20:35,100 Yeah, that's got a, my feeling to yeah like you gets more and 376 00:20:35,100 --> 00:20:39,800 more traps and things but it's the gameplay is still the same 377 00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:44,400 and you kind of start to notice the patterns There's only so 378 00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:47,600 much I suppose you can do in how the, how you can design a level 379 00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:50,800 to get all the coins and put them in a strange place. 380 00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:53,800 Then you realize well I didn't go over there Zoom across and 381 00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:56,100 then Zoom back again and oh I've got all the coins, right? 382 00:20:56,100 --> 00:20:57,900 That was really bad description. But, you know, I mean like 383 00:20:57,900 --> 00:21:00,900 there's oh you see this coin in the middle of a room? 384 00:21:00,900 --> 00:21:02,100 No. Oh that's oh, wow. 385 00:21:02,300 --> 00:21:03,300 Now, how am I gonna get that? You know. 386 00:21:03,300 --> 00:21:06,000 Well, just look for the little decide to have a new yet. 387 00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:07,000 One of their, and then you get it. 388 00:21:07,300 --> 00:21:09,800 Well, there it is. Yeah. 389 00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:15,500 My final bad point is to restart a level after you. 390 00:21:15,508 --> 00:21:20,500 Die is just really clumsy. There's you get the resume 391 00:21:20,500 --> 00:21:22,700 option. The pops up that goes away. 392 00:21:22,700 --> 00:21:26,900 Then you get, I remember what is it? 393 00:21:26,900 --> 00:21:30,200 It's like two or three Taps to resume a level with these like 394 00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:33,200 garish yellow. Menus a pop out in your face and 395 00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:36,100 it's just very clumsy and go as they try and do a little bit 396 00:21:36,100 --> 00:21:39,400 moved. Rqx of the largest button is the 397 00:21:39,408 --> 00:21:42,200 one to watch a video. Soup continued, rather than 398 00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:47,900 just, we thought the beginning. Our spend 200 coins to gets a 399 00:21:47,900 --> 00:21:51,100 shield, which protects you from dying for others. 400 00:21:51,100 --> 00:21:55,900 It meant time, you know, it is, oh, man, is such a just a heavy 401 00:21:55,900 --> 00:22:00,000 to restart level and kind of compare that to our racing game 402 00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:03,800 best rally. Mmm, which ones are which came 403 00:22:05,300 --> 00:22:07,100 best rally. Wait, what? 404 00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:11,800 Sorry, can you say that again? Well there was dumped on the 405 00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:15,600 side where I didn't get there. Are you confusing me? 406 00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:20,400 I don't think we played a game called best rally but that 407 00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:24,000 restarting a level was so instance and just kind of just 408 00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:25,600 made the game Flow a whole lot more. 409 00:22:25,900 --> 00:22:27,000 I know it's game. You're tagging. 410 00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:30,400 My God. And that's not a lie. 411 00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:34,100 Okay. Okay, sounds so final 70 412 00:22:34,100 --> 00:22:36,400 ratings, I played it for three days. 413 00:22:36,900 --> 00:22:42,500 It was it was pretty short. I played it for three days and I 414 00:22:42,500 --> 00:22:47,300 would not recommend it, but at least fair enough I played, 415 00:22:47,300 --> 00:22:50,000 it'll be all night. I played five days. 416 00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:54,400 Once I worked out the little little trick of turning off all 417 00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:56,800 connectivity. To your device made a whole lot 418 00:22:56,800 --> 00:23:00,000 more playable. And I would say, yeah, I flew 419 00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:03,200 out flic en Flac. It on play a little bit but not 420 00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:05,100 hooks. No, I don't think I will be 421 00:23:05,100 --> 00:23:07,500 playing it further to get past level 28. 422 00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:10,100 Mmm, and find out. What to the bottom of Tomb of 423 00:23:10,100 --> 00:23:12,400 the Mask. Is it the bottom? 424 00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:15,000 Or is it the top? I feel like you start at the 425 00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:17,900 bottom of this pyramid and you have to go to the top anyway. 426 00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:20,700 Yeah, the map doesn't make it clear they belonged here. 427 00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:23,900 No, she going to the side. So who knows how far it goes 428 00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:28,100 now. We get to choose new game. 429 00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:31,600 Yes, please.

Not me because I don't know what 435 00:23:48,700 --> 00:23:50,500 that is.

Debts are very painful because 551 00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:07,700 you have to start all over thus making it to you real good 552 00:30:07,700 --> 00:30:08,900 lucky. Yeah, we're lucky. 553 00:30:08,900 --> 00:30:11,800 Speaking of Rogue leakey's. I have been playing another game 554 00:30:11,800 --> 00:30:14,000 called flashback. It's not a rogue leaky. 555 00:30:14,100 --> 00:30:17,600 It is a very story based game. Not a Segway. 556 00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:22,200 If it doesn't make sense. Flashback is originally a game 557 00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:27,300 that I first played on the SNES. Oh sliz be punished. 558 00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:31,400 We like to say the words Stars. Oh, there's a huge controversy 559 00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:36,800 around NES and nests. Oh and what is the correct 560 00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:38,900 pronunciation? Well, what did yo? 561 00:30:38,900 --> 00:30:43,800 Shimamoto say the real persons and maybe that's not the 562 00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:47,700 dinosaur you mean? Gary Miyamoto. 563 00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:51,800 Yeah, yeah, that guy I think it's came out in like some Mega 564 00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:56,200 some Japanese magazine that it's pronounced nest soup, which is 565 00:30:56,200 --> 00:31:01,800 like the, I guess the, the Western pronunciation of when 566 00:31:01,800 --> 00:31:05,400 you read a word in American letters, it's NES, right? 567 00:31:06,700 --> 00:31:10,000 But I don't know why people are considering that to be a fact 568 00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:13,800 when different language different language and the game 569 00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:16,300 was built for an American audience, you know, demand 570 00:31:16,300 --> 00:31:20,200 intend to have In on this recently, toadstools, doesn't 571 00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:21,900 he's not wearing a hat. That's his actual head. 572 00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:25,300 I forgot, which I forgot - yeah. I forget, which is the 573 00:31:25,300 --> 00:31:27,100 authority. Like there was a thing that 574 00:31:27,100 --> 00:31:30,300 said, one way or the other like it's either a hat or it's 575 00:31:30,300 --> 00:31:31,800 actually part of his head, right? 576 00:31:31,800 --> 00:31:33,900 And now Luigi's did Louise's Dad. 577 00:31:33,900 --> 00:31:35,800 Yes. What was even happening, right? 578 00:31:35,800 --> 00:31:39,700 Because the guy the death from Castlevania killed him. 579 00:31:41,100 --> 00:31:43,700 What's boys happening on? Didn't know what was happening. 580 00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:49,200 Yeah, lots of drama happening. But yeah, the flashback is a 581 00:31:49,208 --> 00:31:51,500 great story. Based game, very difficult 582 00:31:51,500 --> 00:31:54,000 action based. Lots of jumping around, you have 583 00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:55,800 to do lots of collecting of items. 584 00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:57,400 What's a nice easy game I could play. 585 00:31:57,800 --> 00:32:02,400 Um none there will hot if to level up Edwin do overcooked to 586 00:32:03,500 --> 00:32:06,500 yes I don't play that. Yes oh my God I have to guess 587 00:32:06,500 --> 00:32:10,700 which aren't I this show is just becoming the journey for me 588 00:32:10,700 --> 00:32:13,100 buying a switch. How do we convince Edwin Tobias? 589 00:32:13,100 --> 00:32:16,400 Which we get pop G on switch and then Do you need to the thing of 590 00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:19,800 the thing of the week will be which game did you play on the 591 00:32:19,800 --> 00:32:23,400 switch? What is your thing of the week? 592 00:32:24,500 --> 00:32:28,900 As you know, we actually had 14 days to play our last game and 593 00:32:28,900 --> 00:32:32,200 since it was only a five day that left many days, unfilled, 594 00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:34,500 and many commutes in which I need to be entertained. 595 00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:36,200 So I have been playing some games. 596 00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:41,200 What we told you hold down another hole basedgamer boy 597 00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:45,400 which is a lot of fun. This is balls. 598 00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:48,100 The grown-ups I think we talked about it before maybe on the 599 00:32:48,108 --> 00:32:49,700 show. I come every other thing or not, 600 00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:51,100 right? I think you might have mentioned 601 00:32:51,100 --> 00:32:53,100 that. Yeah, in that case I have 602 00:32:53,100 --> 00:32:56,700 completed it. And I am very happy with it. 603 00:32:56,900 --> 00:32:59,900 There is a little write-up about hold down I believe from 604 00:32:59,900 --> 00:33:02,800 polygon. Thanks what a great game it is. 605 00:33:03,100 --> 00:33:06,000 It has done some business. Yeah, people are excited by it. 606 00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:09,100 Sadly, my little twittersphere, but I've completed it. 607 00:33:09,100 --> 00:33:14,000 I have mind all the planets made the big holes crack, the core 608 00:33:14,300 --> 00:33:17,800 extracted, the crystals. And now I'm done. 609 00:33:18,300 --> 00:33:20,400 That's a game. Sounds like a final fantasy 610 00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:23,800 narrative. Cross up with balls and you're 611 00:33:23,800 --> 00:33:24,400 pretty close. Oops. 612 00:33:26,600 --> 00:33:31,300 But if you are looking for a Mindless, but fun, balls Tile 613 00:33:31,300 --> 00:33:33,800 game, but adults at all balls. Hmm. 614 00:33:33,800 --> 00:33:37,000 That doesn't sound like yeah. Well, you know, certain 615 00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:43,400 Persuasions I've been dabbling in another game, Mars power. 616 00:33:43,700 --> 00:33:46,500 Oh, that's another game that actually pre-ordered as well. 617 00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:48,700 Well, now it's available so you should have it. 618 00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:54,000 Which I'm hmm, not sure how I feel about it. 619 00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:55,200 Yeah. Interesting. 620 00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:58,400 Is it but it's quite I don't get it. 621 00:33:58,700 --> 00:34:02,200 I got it because it reminds me of the game that I was planning 622 00:34:02,200 --> 00:34:05,200 to build about being a Demolition. 623 00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:09,699 Man, setting charges to write demolition parts of a building 624 00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:12,600 But here you have to set electric power. 625 00:34:12,600 --> 00:34:14,699 Grids to power your Colony on Mars. 626 00:34:14,699 --> 00:34:17,800 Yeah, with strange red spikes are come out in ways. 627 00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:18,900 I can't understand. Yeah. 628 00:34:18,900 --> 00:34:21,500 It's I played a little bit as well and I think I'm unlike 629 00:34:21,500 --> 00:34:25,400 level 8 actually I'm on year 12 year 8. 630 00:34:25,400 --> 00:34:31,300 Okay yeah it's it's interesting. I think there's something there. 631 00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:36,000 I just feel like the game is very bare-bones currently like 632 00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:38,500 there was no starting thing, it just starts like the game just 633 00:34:38,500 --> 00:34:41,300 starts kind of like yeah. Yeah, but also, yeah, why does 634 00:34:41,300 --> 00:34:43,900 Spikes up here? I just don't quite understand 635 00:34:43,900 --> 00:34:45,000 it. So I was, like, what is 636 00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:46,500 happening here? Which means, which means, like 637 00:34:46,500 --> 00:34:48,400 things there is a mechanic there. 638 00:34:48,400 --> 00:34:50,600 I can only build on Blue plants. Yeah. 639 00:34:50,600 --> 00:34:53,500 Soon the plants and they can't really explain it through story 640 00:34:53,500 --> 00:34:55,600 yet because they haven't had the time to build it. 641 00:34:55,699 --> 00:34:59,500 I think I think that's the thing that I think more polished games 642 00:34:59,800 --> 00:35:03,100 actually have more time to do. Like they are able to craft 643 00:35:03,100 --> 00:35:05,900 certain narratives around things, right or have more time 644 00:35:05,900 --> 00:35:07,300 to consider. Like why are what are these 645 00:35:07,300 --> 00:35:09,200 spikes? What are the motivation for 646 00:35:09,200 --> 00:35:11,100 these spikes? Why do they want to stick out of 647 00:35:11,100 --> 00:35:14,000 the ground on some terms, and then not on others? 648 00:35:15,300 --> 00:35:17,400 But that's it. I'm kind of enjoying it. 649 00:35:17,400 --> 00:35:19,700 Maybe we'll check in next week, and see how we getting on as our 650 00:35:19,700 --> 00:35:24,600 bonus game of the week in bonus - game both by happenstance 651 00:35:24,600 --> 00:35:29,900 happen to be playing.

Yep. 655 00:35:36,100 --> 00:35:39,100 Just as dumb as Jules Bejeweled Blitz. 656 00:35:39,100 --> 00:35:42,100 And Two dots and all your favorites was the other one. 657 00:35:42,100 --> 00:35:45,100 Candy Crush. You can brush but I'm on level 658 00:35:45,100 --> 00:35:49,600 178 have a problems. Yeah, that doesn't seem like. 659 00:35:49,600 --> 00:35:52,800 Anyway, this is why we have this show to, to broaden your 660 00:35:52,800 --> 00:35:55,500 horizons on the gaming buttons, embarrassed replaying. 661 00:35:55,500 --> 00:36:00,800 This wall multicolored horror show on the subway laughs I do 662 00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:04,500 have another thing of the week I've been watching is permitted. 663 00:36:04,600 --> 00:36:07,100 Okay, thank you. I've been watching on Netflix 664 00:36:07,100 --> 00:36:12,000 show called disenchantment. Which is Matt Groening 's new 665 00:36:12,100 --> 00:36:15,300 Venture into cartooning or creating a cartoon. 666 00:36:15,800 --> 00:36:18,200 I've heard he has had some success in the past so he's 667 00:36:18,200 --> 00:36:21,500 created some shows if you don't know who he is like Simpsons, 668 00:36:21,500 --> 00:36:22,800 which I believe is still running. 669 00:36:23,700 --> 00:36:25,600 Yeah. Well, it's amazing Futurama, 670 00:36:25,600 --> 00:36:29,700 which is a vastly popular show, cultish following and then got 671 00:36:29,700 --> 00:36:33,500 revived for new seasons on Netflix and now it's 672 00:36:33,500 --> 00:36:35,800 disenchantment. So Simpsons is sort of 673 00:36:35,800 --> 00:36:40,000 present-day Futurama, what sort of future and this Chapman is 674 00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:43,000 set in times that in olden times, okay? 675 00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:47,600 With knights and castles and dragons and hmm so I'm not 676 00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:50,600 enticed by that. Just as a super simple premise 677 00:36:50,600 --> 00:36:53,400 but I could be wrong. Yeah, I think it's pretty 678 00:36:53,400 --> 00:36:56,500 interesting. The main character is voiced by 679 00:36:56,500 --> 00:36:59,200 a bee Jacobson. Oh, I'm aboard then. 680 00:36:59,200 --> 00:37:01,300 Yeah, it was paper from Broad City, right? 681 00:37:01,300 --> 00:37:05,500 Which is your favorite sort of really fits the character 682 00:37:05,500 --> 00:37:08,500 because she's essentially her from Broad City in 683 00:37:08,500 --> 00:37:10,300 disenchantment. Aunt will tell you also weren't 684 00:37:10,300 --> 00:37:12,800 in an elevator. Once I saw her in Union Square. 685 00:37:12,900 --> 00:37:15,300 Oh, get out of here. Yeah, she was filming a promo. 686 00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:19,000 Yeah, I saw in the elevator at the our subway. 687 00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:20,700 Stop on Court Street. Nice. 688 00:37:20,700 --> 00:37:21,900 Did you say hi? No. 689 00:37:21,900 --> 00:37:23,900 Not okay. I didn't say hi there. 690 00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:25,900 We want me to say it seemed like she was gonna get upset. 691 00:37:25,900 --> 00:37:29,300 If I bothered her, what are you, what are you going to say to any 692 00:37:29,300 --> 00:37:33,800 celebrity or just be like me and pretend like you're their 693 00:37:33,800 --> 00:37:36,900 friends and say, hey, what's up? Well, like I did to Joshua 694 00:37:36,900 --> 00:37:39,100 Jackson and Owen Wilson When I saw them in the subway. 695 00:37:40,100 --> 00:37:43,500 Yeah, I saw Tony Wilson and I just my mission, my immediate 696 00:37:43,500 --> 00:37:45,300 thought was like, oh, I know this guy should say hi and I was 697 00:37:45,308 --> 00:37:50,200 like, Hey and he's like oh hi. That was my, that's my uncle's 698 00:37:51,800 --> 00:37:57,000 be totally forget about. The the recognition imbalance is 699 00:37:57,000 --> 00:37:58,900 using on screen. Suddenly, they're there in front 700 00:37:58,900 --> 00:38:02,600 of you, my oh, hey, who is this? We must get that all the time 701 00:38:05,800 --> 00:38:07,700 and that's our show for this week. 702 00:38:08,200 --> 00:38:11,200 Are you enjoying disenchantment? I meant, I am someone enjoying 703 00:38:11,200 --> 00:38:13,700 it? I think there is a deeper story 704 00:38:13,700 --> 00:38:16,200 that's going to be somewhat enjoying okay well the 705 00:38:16,200 --> 00:38:19,100 potential. Yeah so this enchantment is less 706 00:38:19,100 --> 00:38:23,600 like episodic, you know, like most cartoons like Futurama and 707 00:38:23,600 --> 00:38:25,500 Simpsons reset, right? But yeah. 708 00:38:25,500 --> 00:38:28,800 So yeah, yeah. This one just sort of goes on, 709 00:38:28,800 --> 00:38:32,000 which is great.
