00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,160
Justin, I went to a casino this week

2
00:00:02,160 --> 00:00:03,920
and I think you know this is about me.

3
00:00:03,920 --> 00:00:07,000
I like to gamble.

4
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:08,480
I like to gamble.

5
00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:11,140
I think it comes down to my love for games.

6
00:00:11,140 --> 00:00:11,980
Yeah.

7
00:00:11,980 --> 00:00:12,800
You know what I mean?

8
00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:14,640
Like I like to play games.

9
00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:15,840
I like card games.

10
00:00:15,840 --> 00:00:18,640
I like blackjack a fair amount.

11
00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:21,840
To my understanding, you are not a fan necessarily, right?

12
00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:24,720
So just a real quick backup.

13
00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:28,440
I guess you posted on social media about this.

14
00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:29,280
I did.

15
00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:32,800
My wife said, oh, Peter and Josh went to a casino

16
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:34,360
and I was like, oh no.

17
00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:35,320
It was my first thought.

18
00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:36,160
I was like, oh no.

19
00:00:36,160 --> 00:00:38,920
He's, no, no, oh no.

20
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:40,620
But yeah, I don't like gambling

21
00:00:40,620 --> 00:00:43,760
because I find it to be a waste of money.

22
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:46,120
If I'm gonna spend $20 on something,

23
00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:47,600
I wanna know what that gets me.

24
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:50,300
I don't want the chance of it getting me more money

25
00:00:50,300 --> 00:00:52,640
that I can then later spend and lose.

26
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:54,040
So yeah, I am not a good gambler.

27
00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:56,760
I find it very depressing.

28
00:00:56,760 --> 00:00:58,560
Like I get depressed when I put a lot of money,

29
00:00:58,560 --> 00:00:59,920
like I spend a lot of money on something,

30
00:00:59,920 --> 00:01:01,320
even if it's what I want.

31
00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:03,280
And then if I'm just gambling it away,

32
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:07,680
I'm just literally gambling money to get more,

33
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:09,320
I'm paying money to get money.

34
00:01:09,320 --> 00:01:11,520
And that's like doubly bad for me.

35
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:14,280
Yeah, I mean, like I can definitely like,

36
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:16,920
like, hey, I can definitely see

37
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:18,840
why it becomes a problem for people.

38
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:19,680
Do you know what I mean?

39
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:21,360
Like I definitely understand that.

40
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:23,200
And I think that like, you know,

41
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:26,000
you should know yourself enough, not you specifically,

42
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:28,780
but like I think someone should know themselves enough

43
00:01:28,780 --> 00:01:30,680
to whether or not they think that's the sort of thing

44
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:34,520
that would like very, very, very much excite them,

45
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:36,640
you know, like in an unhealthy way.

46
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:38,080
Yeah, yeah.

47
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:40,800
But I gamble responsibly.

48
00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:42,920
I never, like I go in saying,

49
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:45,200
like this is the money I have taken out of my bank account.

50
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:46,400
This is what I'm gonna spend.

51
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:49,240
And if it is all gone, that is okay

52
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:51,300
because I'm spending this much money, right?

53
00:01:51,300 --> 00:01:52,440
Like I'm just assuming that this money

54
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:53,880
is going to be gone for me.

55
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:54,720
Do you know what I mean?

56
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:55,760
So like I will go in,

57
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:58,200
like when I went to Clarif,

58
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:01,040
like I went into the casino with $200 in my pocket.

59
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:04,480
And I said, if I drain this, this is gone.

60
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:07,160
Like that's it, I'm not gonna, I'm not spending anymore.

61
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:11,200
And me losing that $200 isn't gonna like change my life.

62
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:12,040
You know what I mean?

63
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:14,060
Like I'm not going to not be able to pay rent

64
00:02:14,060 --> 00:02:15,360
if I don't have this $200.

65
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:17,640
Just like going in accepting this could all be gone.

66
00:02:17,640 --> 00:02:20,760
All right, so you went in this weekend saying $200

67
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:22,360
is the money I'm bringing in.

68
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:23,200
Yep.

69
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:24,760
How much money did you leave with?

70
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:27,720
$189.

71
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:28,560
Oh, okay.

72
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:30,640
So you had, how long were you there?

73
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:33,640
So we were like gambling in total

74
00:02:33,640 --> 00:02:35,860
for probably about three or four hours.

75
00:02:35,860 --> 00:02:39,320
We were down pretty bad at a certain point

76
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:43,880
that we got up pretty good and we wanted to keep going.

77
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:45,680
We took a break after getting up.

78
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:48,080
We had some dinner, did some other stuff

79
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:50,200
and then we went back to it.

80
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:53,880
And then both Josh, my roommate and I lost $40 each.

81
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:55,800
And we said, all right.

82
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:57,480
And that's enough of that.

83
00:02:57,480 --> 00:02:58,640
I mean, hey, that's not bad.

84
00:02:58,640 --> 00:03:01,520
So what casino, like let's get the,

85
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:03,000
I need some of the 411 here.

86
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:04,120
What was the casino?

87
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:05,360
What were the games you played?

88
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:06,200
Where did you eat?

89
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:07,080
What did you eat?

90
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:12,080
And then did you feel like it was a good day for you?

91
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:14,300
Let me start with your last one.

92
00:03:14,300 --> 00:03:15,200
It was a great day.

93
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:16,040
I had fun.

94
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:18,280
And like, you know, like I was down $11.

95
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:21,800
Which is awesome for anything like entertainment

96
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:22,640
that would last that long.

97
00:03:22,640 --> 00:03:27,320
I had a great time from like three in the afternoon

98
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:30,560
until we left at like 1130 PM, right?

99
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:35,320
Like I, for $11, I had a fantastic time.

100
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:38,320
And also like, yes, it is good to win money

101
00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:40,880
when you play games, like when you gamble and whatever.

102
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:42,840
But I, as I sort of said at the top of the show,

103
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:45,380
enjoy to, I just enjoy playing the games.

104
00:03:45,380 --> 00:03:46,220
You know what I mean?

105
00:03:46,220 --> 00:03:47,840
So like, at the end of the day,

106
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:50,440
it costs less to go to Galpin Ghosts,

107
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:52,560
the arcade nearby us, you know,

108
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:54,560
to play a bunch of video games.

109
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:57,280
So like I had fun just, you know, gambling, whatever.

110
00:03:57,280 --> 00:03:59,000
And walking away, being able to say,

111
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:02,200
I still have most of my money is not actually so bad.

112
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:04,480
Especially when I was down about $100,

113
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:05,720
roughly halfway through the night.

114
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:08,320
And so to end up there, I'll take it.

115
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:09,160
Good day, good day.

116
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:12,200
This was at the Horseshoe Casino,

117
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:13,900
right over the border in Indiana.

118
00:04:15,740 --> 00:04:17,880
We went, well, I'm gonna talk about this

119
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:19,400
a little bit later in the show.

120
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:21,480
We went because Nick Offerman

121
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:23,600
was doing a standup set there.

122
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:25,840
And so we went to see that.

123
00:04:25,840 --> 00:04:26,680
Oh.

124
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,560
He did, he mentioned The Last of Us a little bit

125
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:34,280
and talked about that for roughly 15 seconds.

126
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:39,560
But all in all, didn't love the show.

127
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:42,080
He didn't, he just like, he didn't,

128
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:44,480
he just had these like sentences that he would just say

129
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:45,560
and there weren't like jokes in them.

130
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:46,720
It would just be like,

131
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:50,040
I'm not gonna be like one of those standup guys

132
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:52,320
who just like gets up here and like hates on my wife.

133
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:53,600
I'm like, great.

134
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:55,200
Did his wife show up?

135
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:56,160
No, she did not.

136
00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:58,960
Oh, because I went to see a standup special from him.

137
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:02,120
I'm a listener, I have quotes when I'm doing that.

138
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:04,880
And it was just like him telling like yarns,

139
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:06,280
like stories and stuff.

140
00:05:06,280 --> 00:05:07,840
And then his wife showed up.

141
00:05:07,840 --> 00:05:10,200
And it wasn't the most, I mean, it was fine.

142
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:11,040
It was fine.

143
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:12,520
Like I appreciated seeing him and I was like,

144
00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:14,760
oh, this is fun to see him.

145
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:19,320
But no, it was, in terms of a comedy show, it was fine.

146
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:20,560
He sang a lot of songs.

147
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:22,000
He wrote a bunch of silly songs.

148
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:25,160
If I ever were to lose you.

149
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:27,440
Kinda, kinda.

150
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:30,840
But no, all in all, great night to be had.

151
00:05:30,840 --> 00:05:32,560
It was a good time.

152
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:35,680
Again, for 11 bucks, I had a great time.

153
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:37,240
What was the food?

154
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:41,120
We just ate, it was like a burger place at the casino.

155
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:41,960
We didn't have time to.

156
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:43,960
Oh man, if you had a buffet there.

157
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:45,120
If it was a buffet, I would be.

158
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:46,880
There's nothing quite like.

159
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:49,440
Nothing quite like a casino buffet.

160
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:52,040
See, we had the casino, it was fine.

161
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:52,960
We were gonna play blackjack.

162
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:54,800
Blackjack is my game of choice.

163
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:56,280
But the tables were all $15

164
00:05:56,280 --> 00:05:58,240
and that is a little rich for my blood.

165
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:01,120
Especially if I'm only bringing in 200 bucks.

166
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:03,840
So we played a game called the big six,

167
00:06:03,840 --> 00:06:07,000
which is as I think streamlined as gambling can possibly get.

168
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:08,520
Basically, it's a giant pinwheel

169
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:10,160
with a bunch of numbers written on it

170
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:11,360
that when the pinwheel stops,

171
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:13,960
you bet on which number you think it's gonna be on.

172
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:16,840
There was a moment where we thought

173
00:06:16,840 --> 00:06:19,280
we both almost won $2,000 each

174
00:06:19,280 --> 00:06:20,840
and then it turned out to be $20

175
00:06:20,840 --> 00:06:23,520
and we were very disappointed.

176
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:24,480
Yes, yes, yes.

177
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:25,320
Well.

178
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:28,640
But hey, make sure if you're gonna

179
00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:31,640

184
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:01,320
What's going on everyone?

185
00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:04,920
Welcome back to Hitbox episode number 136.

186
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:06,360
My name is Peter Hunspitek.

187
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:07,800
Joining me as always is my wonderful friend

188
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:09,960
and co-host Justin Makovich.

189
00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:10,780
How are you man?

190
00:07:10,780 --> 00:07:11,620
How are things?

191
00:07:11,620 --> 00:07:12,440
How are you doing?

192
00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:15,120
Oh, I mean the world keeps spinning.

193
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:19,120
I feel like we're to a point when it feels like

194
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:20,440
at least for the school year,

195
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:24,920
where spring break is this week, next week, the week.

196
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:27,400
So I always feel like when spring break comes,

197
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:29,520
anything that happens afterwards is just,

198
00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:30,400
it's all a joke.

199
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:31,240
It's not important.

200
00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:32,360
It's just, it's done.

201
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:34,800
And you know the one thing about being a teacher

202
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:37,840
that's really nice is that you're on your same schedule

203
00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:41,200
that you've been on literally your entire life.

204
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:44,960
So it's like the nice wind down to the end of the year.

205
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:45,800
But then I have to tell myself,

206
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:49,080
well there's still eight weeks left when I come back.

207
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:51,000
But everyone's already.

208
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:53,400
But only eight weeks, that's actually not too bad.

209
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:54,480
Yeah, I know.

210
00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:56,120
Were you impacted?

211
00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:56,940
This is how dumb I am.

212
00:07:56,940 --> 00:07:59,640
Was daylight savings this week or last week?

213
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:00,480
Last week.

214
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:01,320
Okay, I didn't even know.

215
00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:02,360
See, that's the thing.

216
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:04,680
You never know now until you get in your car.

217
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:06,360
Unless you've got like a car that.

218
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:08,120
Oh, my car just does it automatically.

219
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:08,960
I don't even know anymore.

220
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:09,920
Oh really?

221
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:10,760
Wow.

222
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:12,720
I think it's just the stove that tells me about it.

223
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:16,560
But I bring that up because it was like six o'clock today

224
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:18,160
and the sun was still out when I got home.

225
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:20,600
And I was like, oh, it's beautiful.

226
00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:21,440
It's perfect.

227
00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:23,000
I see the sun finally.

228
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:23,840
It's the way to go.

229
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:25,920
It is the way to go.

230
00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:28,000
We're gonna talk about some video game news.

231
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:30,520
Here's a quick preview of what's coming up.

232
00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:33,360
Starfield's age rating gives away some saucy details.

233
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:35,680
Resident Evil 4 gets rave reviews

234
00:08:35,680 --> 00:08:38,640
and the gaming community mourns the loss of Lance Riddick.

235
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:41,040
We're gonna talk about all of that and more before we do.

236
00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:42,160
Here's a reminder.

237
00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:45,040

And you'll get all of the previous ones as well.

249
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:12,960
I think we broke 35 or 36 last week.

250
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:14,640
So they're coming.

251
00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:17,760
They're just continuing to roll out.

252
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:21,200

257
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:35,880
Justin, you want to head over to the Metacritic Roundup,

258
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:37,200
talk about the games that came out this week?

259
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:38,360
No, do I?

260
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:41,160
Do you?

261
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:42,000
I do actually.

262
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:42,920
Oh, okay, cool.

263
00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:45,120
Metacritic Roundup.

264
00:09:48,680 --> 00:09:50,040
Really yanking my chain there, dude.

265
00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:53,840
I was like, I didn't know what was going to happen.

266
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:54,680
I liked it.

267
00:09:54,680 --> 00:09:56,440
It was a fun sort of change in momentum.

268
00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:57,440
You know, every once in a while,

269
00:09:57,440 --> 00:09:58,880
I just forget what I normally say

270
00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:00,400
and then I say what comes to my mind

271
00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:02,680
and it's wrong usually, so that's what happened there.

272
00:10:02,680 --> 00:10:03,520
It wasn't wrong.

273
00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:05,360
It's just that I think this is a collaborative effort

274
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:07,560
and if you don't want to,

275
00:10:07,560 --> 00:10:09,880
then Justin, we're not gonna do it.

276
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:12,680
But luckily, we are gonna talk about Resident Evil 4 Remake.

277
00:10:12,680 --> 00:10:13,640
Oh, yeah, I gotta do it.

278
00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:14,960
This is my draft game, man.

279
00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:15,800
We gotta talk.

280
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:17,440
I gotta gloat for a second.

281
00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:19,480
Yeah, this has a 93 on Metacritic.

282
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:23,680
Second highest reviewed game of the year, I think.

283
00:10:23,680 --> 00:10:25,920
I think so on the PS5,

284
00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:27,640
because the first one is I think Metroid Prime Remastered,

285
00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:28,480
right?

286
00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:31,640
Another remake remastered or whatever.

287
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:34,560
So Resident Evil 4 Remake on the PlayStation 5 is a 93.

288
00:10:34,560 --> 00:10:36,440
On the PC, a 92.

289
00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:41,320
Xbox Series X, a 91 and is unscored on the PS4

290
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:45,520
and not available on the Xbox One.

291
00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:50,440
This seems to be a behemoth of a game

292
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:51,880
in terms of like,

293
00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:54,960
we talked about this a little bit last week

294
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:56,800
after playing that demo.

295
00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:59,240
This seems like it is going to be an excellent game.

296
00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:03,680
What do these reviews tell you, Justin?

297
00:11:03,680 --> 00:11:07,800
I mean, it tells me that it's Resident Evil 4,

298
00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:11,960
but better, because the controls are better.

299
00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:15,640
And it just seems like they've modernized it in a way.

300
00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:16,920
When listening to some reviews

301
00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:18,360
and hearing some stuff about it,

302
00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:21,640
it sounds like there's some open-worldy kind of parts of it

303
00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:25,320
with more like roaming around where you wanna go.

304
00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:26,560
Was that in the original game

305
00:11:26,560 --> 00:11:28,480
or my-ish?

306
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:32,280
So from what I saw, I think it was maybe the IGN review

307
00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:34,120
talked about how instead of just going to the lake

308
00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:36,440
for a one-off boss fight with that big monster thing,

309
00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:37,520
you get on a boat in the lake

310
00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:40,920
and you can take different paths and stuff like that.

311
00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:42,680
That was not in the original.

312
00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:46,080
But that sort of expansion of that

313
00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:47,240
makes a little bit of sense,

314
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:49,960
because if you remember, the original game is level-based.

315
00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:51,760
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

316
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:53,560
I think it's the first Resident Evil game

317
00:11:53,560 --> 00:11:54,400
to kind of do that.

318
00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:57,560
And five does that as well and six does as well.

319
00:11:57,560 --> 00:11:59,720
But then they sort of drop that in favor of

320
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:04,120
not doing that in seven and eight.

321
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:06,120
But I think you look at something like Resident Evil 8

322
00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:10,040
and that village is like a hub area.

323
00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:12,920
But I think that's kind of how they could do it.

324
00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:14,840
I don't know if they said that they dropped

325
00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:17,120
the level format or not, but it seems like, yeah,

326
00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:21,680
exploration is a little bit more of a central thing here

327
00:12:21,680 --> 00:12:22,520
as opposed to-

328
00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:25,240
And more like reason to backtrack rather than

329
00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:28,320
just backtracking to try to get more money

330
00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:30,240
to spend at the merchant or whatever.

331
00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:33,240
So I think that stuff is the kind of stuff

332
00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:36,440
that I think would pull me in to it a little bit more,

333
00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:39,400
just to know that, hey, I can kind of do it the way I want.

334
00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:43,820
But I gotta say, I think the sort of Metroidvania moments

335
00:12:43,820 --> 00:12:47,400
that you get in Village, I love that format.

336
00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:49,680
Like how you have the hub, how you go out like that.

337
00:12:49,680 --> 00:12:50,920
And I'm sure this isn't that,

338
00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:53,720
because it's still based off of the original.

339
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:55,680
But I just think that's such a,

340
00:12:55,680 --> 00:12:57,440
that was such a cool way to do it,

341
00:12:57,440 --> 00:12:58,880
that you felt like you could still explore.

342
00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:01,140
Even though some areas were eventually knocked off to you,

343
00:13:01,140 --> 00:13:02,600
you still have that home base to go to

344
00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:04,880
that you felt comfortable with.

345
00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:06,420
So I don't know, I don't know.

346
00:13:06,420 --> 00:13:08,720
I think from what I'm hearing about this game,

347
00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:11,160
it sounds like there were very positive changes

348
00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:12,260
from the original.

349
00:13:13,260 --> 00:13:14,800
And it looks good.

350
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:16,040
Graphically, it's pretty.

351
00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:21,040
And yeah, I'm not as excited as I was about this game

352
00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:22,840
before I played the demo though.

353
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:24,600
For the same reasons I said about last week,

354
00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:28,000
how it still kind of feels like the Resident Evil shooting,

355
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:31,160
third person shooting, which I'm not a huge, huge fan of.

356
00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:33,760
And this game is pretty action based,

357
00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:34,960
if I'm correct, right?

358
00:13:36,680 --> 00:13:37,520
Yeah.

359
00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:39,080
I mean, yes, yes.

360
00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:39,920
Yeah.

361
00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:42,560
It's not like the other games where you can kind of get away

362
00:13:42,560 --> 00:13:43,920
with like juking around them.

363
00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:44,760
Yeah.

364
00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:46,080
You have to do combat.

365
00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:47,720
You gotta fight.

366
00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:48,540
Yeah.

367
00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:52,220
This is gonna be my weekend.

368
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:58,360
I'm not working on this one, so I get to enjoy this.

369
00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:00,280
This is not, this is fun for once.

370
00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:01,120
Completely for free.

371
00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:02,680
Wow, that's actually nice.

372
00:14:02,680 --> 00:14:05,760
To be honest, this is a game that I am really looking

373
00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:06,600
forward to playing.

374
00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:07,440
Good, good.

375
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:09,320
Especially after playing that demo.

376
00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:12,840
And just like, you know, just, it's been so long

377
00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:14,200
since I've been able to just sit down

378
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:16,520
and fucking play a video game and just like really get

379
00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:18,320
like super stoked to just like play a video game

380
00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:19,400
for a long time, you know what I mean?

381
00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:20,240
Yeah, yeah.

382
00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:24,320
Yeah, no, these reviews, I'm not surprised by this at all.

383
00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:28,080
I am simply excited.

384
00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:30,320
Probably play this on PS4 probably, I think.

385
00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:31,800
PS4?

386
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:32,760
Five, I mean, sorry.

387
00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:34,800
I was like, dude, you're really.

388
00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:37,360
No, I think I've been switching that up

389
00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:40,200
and saying PS4 a lot lately on accident.

390
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:42,800
I think I said it on last week's episode where I said like,

391
00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:44,600
rumors about the PS4 Pro and it's like,

392
00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:46,920
yeah man, it came out in 2018.

393
00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:50,840
Well, I keep saying Resident Evil 5 remake

394
00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:51,680
instead of Resident Evil.

395
00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:52,800
Yeah, you did ask me, you were like,

396
00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:54,200
do you have Resident Evil 5 remake early?

397
00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:55,200
And I was like.

398
00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:56,040
No. What?

399
00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:57,360
I was like, excuse me?

400
00:14:57,360 --> 00:14:58,400
Do you think they're gonna remake that?

401
00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:00,960
I was talking to Josh about this today.

402
00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:03,440
So you've played, I haven't played five or six.

403
00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:04,760
Yeah. But I think so.

404
00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:08,400
I mean, I think like with the trajectory they're going on,

405
00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:12,880
I know like that game is more updated control wise

406
00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:13,920
and everything, correct?

407
00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:15,080
Yes, yes.

408
00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:20,080
And I think, I mean, putting it in the Resident Evil engine

409
00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:23,560
and updating some of the stuff

410
00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:26,280
and doing some of the thoughtful reimaginings

411
00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:29,200
that they did with like, I'm using two as the example

412
00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:31,640
of how they really did reimagine that a little bit.

413
00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:32,840
I think they could.

414
00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:34,280
And I think they're not gonna stop.

415
00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:35,960
I mean, Resident Evil is more popular than ever.

416
00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:40,960
I think this is the third best reviewed Resident Evil game.

417
00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:43,840
Number one, Resident Evil 4 2005.

418
00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:47,760
Number two, Resident Evil Code Veronica at like a 94.

419
00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:50,560
And then number three is Resident Evil 4 remake.

420
00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:52,000
And then plus like, I mean,

421
00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:55,240
the Resident Evil 2 remake has done great.

422
00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:58,320
The Resident Evil 3 remake, not as great,

423
00:15:58,320 --> 00:15:59,320
but still people like it.

424
00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:01,600
And then all the seven and village people love.

425
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:03,560
So I think they're definitely gonna do that.

426
00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:04,880
And I don't think it would be a bad thing

427
00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:07,480
because I think those games are inherently flawed.

428
00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:12,560
Resident Evil 5 is like fucking racist as shit, dude.

429
00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:14,120
Like it is, like that's, like,

430
00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:17,040
that's I think the problem with it for me is like,

431
00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:18,920
in terms of like, you wanna remake it mechanically

432
00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:21,480
so that it feels in line with these games.

433
00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:22,600
Sure, like that's fine.

434
00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:23,680
But like, I would be curious to like,

435
00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:25,240
see how they would handle that.

436
00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:28,360
And even like, okay, if they're gonna like remove

437
00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:30,320
like the racist stuff about it, like,

438
00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:34,200
I mean, kind of at its core, it's pretty racist, you know?

439
00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:38,520
And then to remake that and remove that sort of stuff,

440
00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:42,520
to me, makes me like, it sort of throws me into a debate.

441
00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:44,440
And I haven't like figured out how I feel on this

442
00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:47,200
necessarily yet, so I'm not gonna like stand by any of this.

443
00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:50,560
Yeah, yeah, yeah, we're just two guys on a podcast sitting here.

444
00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:54,120
Two fucking white guys just talking about

445
00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:56,400
how we think racism should be handled.

446
00:16:56,400 --> 00:16:58,160
And you know, I'm willing to have my mind changed

447
00:16:58,160 --> 00:16:59,000
about this sort of stuff too.

448
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:00,720
But like, my worry is that if you remake that

449
00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:03,000
and remove all of that racist stuff,

450
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:06,320
like, there's an argument to be made that like, hey,

451
00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:09,920
they might be trying to erase some of that history

452
00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:12,720
that they did that, although on the other hand,

453
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:15,120
and again, I haven't thought about this fucking at all.

454
00:17:15,120 --> 00:17:17,480
On the other hand, like, you can still buy Resident Evil 5.

455
00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:18,640
Yeah. Like, you can see that.

456
00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:20,080
And I don't know if they're,

457
00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:22,120
I think it's a complicated subject is the whole,

458
00:17:22,120 --> 00:17:23,240
is what I'm trying to get at.

459
00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:26,600
So what makes the game kind of racist?

460
00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:28,920
I mean, we talked about this before, but just refresh,

461
00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:33,280
refresh my and the listener's memory.

462
00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:36,320
I guess it's tough to know where to start.

463
00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:37,520
Oh, no.

464
00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:41,080
It is, it is, it is truly, it is pretty upsetting.

465
00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:46,080
I think like, well, like on a just very surface level,

466
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:51,400
you have just a white military dude going to Africa,

467
00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:52,880
some country in Africa, which by the way,

468
00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:54,800
like Resident Evil like always kind of gets away with like,

469
00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:55,800
we're in Europe.

470
00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:57,560
And it's like, where?

471
00:17:57,560 --> 00:17:58,640
It's like they speak in Spanish,

472
00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:00,280
but it's like Mexican Spanish.

473
00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:02,800
Like where in Europe are we?

474
00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:04,520
Or they did that like Resident Evil Village,

475
00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:05,760
where they're like, we're in Europe.

476
00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:07,280
And it's like, what, where are fucking in Europe?

477
00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:08,120
What are we talking about?

478
00:18:08,120 --> 00:18:09,160
So they did that with Africa.

479
00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:12,040
But I think a problem is that like,

480
00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:15,760
Africa frequently gets that treatment, you know,

481
00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:17,800
like it gets like, it's called a country.

482
00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:19,400
Like if you like go into this country, this country,

483
00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:21,920
or Africa, and it's like, yo, it's a giant ass continent.

484
00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:26,920
You know, like with, with over like 30 or 40 countries in it.

485
00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:30,080
So I think that general sort of like,

486
00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:35,080
no, they're just in Africa is a little dicey.

487
00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:36,840
And the fact that it's just,

488
00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:41,200
it's a white guy shooting pretty much primarily

489
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:43,720
just black people in Africa.

490
00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:45,200
And basically just like he shows up

491
00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:47,200
and just starts shouting at people pointing a gun.

492
00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:48,680
And when they don't like answer his questions,

493
00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:50,080
he starts shooting them.

494
00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:51,240
And I mean, they are zombies.

495
00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:53,600
So like, I guess, you know, whatever,

496
00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:55,880
but it's just, it's a bad look in general.

497
00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:57,720
And then like, I think that like,

498
00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:01,160
I don't know if they did a lot of research

499
00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:02,640
on the cultures of Africa,

500
00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:04,960
but it maybe feels like they didn't.

501
00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:07,040
Cause you've just got like a bunch of like,

502
00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:10,160
very stereotypical like grass skirts and like big,

503
00:19:11,120 --> 00:19:12,320
I don't even know what the culture is,

504
00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:14,160
but like big masks and stuff like that,

505
00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:18,880
that just don't feel particularly well researched

506
00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:19,960
or thoughtfully included.

507
00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:23,360
So then like those are included as they are enemies.

508
00:19:23,360 --> 00:19:24,200
You know what I mean?

509
00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:25,880
They are only included to be like,

510
00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:27,520
we are going to kill these people.

511
00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:31,920
So like, what do you do about that?

512
00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:32,760
You know what I mean?

513
00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:35,680
To remake it, like you could not set in Africa,

514
00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:39,480
but then it's, I think it's just a whole can of worms

515
00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:40,960
that is worth untangling.

516
00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:42,800
And I think there's potentially a way

517
00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:45,360
for them to do it correctly, but I don't know if,

518
00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:47,760
I don't know, it seems like a complicated issue

519
00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:48,720
in my opinion.

520
00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:53,200
Is this a like common critique of Resident Evil 5?

521
00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:54,680
Yes.

522
00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:56,560
And it's wild too, because like,

523
00:19:56,560 --> 00:19:58,280
I'm not saying that like people weren't paying attention

524
00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:02,040
to racism in 2010, but I think that like,

525
00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:05,120
those conversations obviously were certainly happening,

526
00:20:05,120 --> 00:20:06,880
but from what it seems like the moment

527
00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:10,240
that this game was revealed, everyone was like,

528
00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:12,680
Capcom?

529
00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:15,480
Oh guys, guys?

530
00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:18,160
Yes, yes, this is like, like anytime anyone plays this game,

531
00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:20,480
it is always like, holy shit.

532
00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:23,080
I'm sending you an article to look at.

533
00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:26,680
But this is an article published four days ago

534
00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:30,040
by the gamer, Jade King, called,

535
00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:32,760
Resonable 5 is too racist for a remake.

536
00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:35,280
And it goes through a couple of good details

537
00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:38,760
about how it was revealed, how like part of the setting

538
00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:41,640
wasn't necessarily known about, the idea that you have

539
00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:46,640
this kind of generic interpretation of Africa in general.

540
00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:48,120
Yeah.

541
00:20:48,120 --> 00:20:51,280
So, yeah, I think that's an interesting question.

542
00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:54,920
Like what, is this the next game to remake?

543
00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:56,680
Is this the next thing that they're gonna do?

544
00:20:56,680 --> 00:20:58,480
Cause it does seem like they need a pretty significant

545
00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:02,200
change to it in order to try to avoid that.

546
00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:04,080
Because I think the last thing they wanna do,

547
00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:06,640
if I'm correct, 5 sold really well, correct?

548
00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:08,640
I don't know.

549
00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:11,400
I mean, I would assume that like with each subsequent game,

550
00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:12,520
they continued so well.

551
00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:15,240
I thought 5 initially sold well, I don't know the thing.

552
00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:17,920
And then 6 was a better game, but didn't sell as well.

553
00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:20,720
Cause people were turned off by 5 or something like that.

554
00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:22,640
It's a question of like, I think in terms of like

555
00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:25,000
being a video game, 5 is probably a better game,

556
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:27,200
but it's fucking racist as shit, man.

557
00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:28,040
Like, you know what I mean?

558
00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:33,040
Like in Resident Evil 6, it's also kind of racist

559
00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:36,120
against Chinese people, it feels.

560
00:21:36,120 --> 00:21:39,520
But maybe in, I don't know.

561
00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:42,440
Like I guess I'm less familiar with like racist stereotypes

562
00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:44,120
against Chinese people than I am with black people

563
00:21:44,120 --> 00:21:46,920
just because of like how we are in America,

564
00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:47,760
you know what I mean?

565
00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:48,680
Mm-mm.

566
00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:52,240
But I don't know, like, yeah.

567
00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:54,840
Like I would probably say that 5 is a, again,

568
00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:57,720
like with all the context of what we just said,

569
00:21:57,720 --> 00:22:00,040
5 is probably a better video game.

570
00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:04,640
And it has a fuck ton of racist shit in it,

571
00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:07,080
which is inexcusable and uncomfortable

572
00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:08,280
and important to talk about.

573
00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:11,720
But 6 doesn't have all of that.

574
00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:13,240
But in terms of being a video game,

575
00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:15,200
I would say it's like probably a little bit lesser.

576
00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:16,040
I don't know.

577
00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:16,920
I'm also gonna throw this out there.

578
00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:19,880
I don't think Resident Evil is known as a series

579
00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:22,440
for its deep and complex writing.

580
00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:24,880
No, and I think that's the problem.

581
00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:27,280
I think that like 4, like they sort of realized that

582
00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:28,480
and like leaned into it.

583
00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:33,920
And then they were like, well, let's keep doing that.

584
00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:37,120
We'll do, let's a little bit like, you know.

585
00:22:37,120 --> 00:22:37,960
Yeah.

586
00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:40,040
Whatever movie, you know, and just, no, no.

587
00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:41,720
Yeah, I don't know.

588
00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:44,440
Like to me, I would say like,

589
00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:45,400
I would say we're probably fine

590
00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:46,600
without a remake of this game.

591
00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:48,120
Probably fine without a remake of 6

592
00:22:48,120 --> 00:22:50,000
because even then, if you're gonna remake 6,

593
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:52,200
like holy shit, that's gonna have to be a big overhaul.

594
00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:56,600
I mean, it's the whole thing's multiplayer for starters.

595
00:22:56,600 --> 00:22:59,200
It's got some cool ideas, but it's just like,

596
00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:04,760
there is a lot to it that is like,

597
00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:08,800
this would need to be just a completely reworked and redone.

598
00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:11,960
I would say just leave these two be and Capcom.

599
00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:13,600
Work on New Resident Evil stuff.

600
00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:14,760
You're missing zero.

601
00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:18,760
Remake zero, remake Code Veronica, I guess.

602
00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:19,600
Remake.

603
00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:21,080
Have you played Zero before?

604
00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:21,920
Nope.

605
00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:24,240
Zero plays from Peter.

606
00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:25,080
I don't know.

607
00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:25,920
Yeah, I was like, I was like.

608
00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:27,720
Forced me to play Resident Evil, I will.

609
00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:29,200
I wasn't gonna like it.

610
00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:30,360
Yeah, yeah.

611
00:23:30,360 --> 00:23:31,200
Yeah, so like, I don't know.

612
00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:33,920
Like, I think that, I would say

613
00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:36,360
you're probably better off just,

614
00:23:36,360 --> 00:23:39,520
because I think like the nostalgia has run out

615
00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:40,520
with Resident Evil 4.

616
00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:42,920
Like, I would say people are not,

617
00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:45,840
I would say most people do not remember Resident Evil 5,

618
00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:48,400
like with nostalgia that they're gonna be like,

619
00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:51,360
holy shit, they're remaking this game from my childhood?

620
00:23:51,360 --> 00:23:52,480
I gotta go play that.

621
00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:53,520
I don't think people are doing that,

622
00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:55,920
but I think people might be doing that with Resident Evil 4

623
00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:58,000
and 3 and 2, you know what I mean?

624
00:23:58,000 --> 00:23:58,840
Yeah, yeah.

625
00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:01,200
One could still use a remake.

626
00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:04,400
It's got a great one.

627
00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:07,560
But it's not in the way,

628
00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:08,920
and I know this is like one of those things.

629
00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:11,040
I know it's not in the way of Resident Evil 2.

630
00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:12,080
Yeah, you can still play that,

631
00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:14,640
but you still have the dated controls.

632
00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:15,760
You still have other things.

633
00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:19,320
And I think if they do a big enough reimagine, remake,

634
00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:22,480
that is not just in terms of how it looks.

635
00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:24,720
It's more in terms of how it plays

636
00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:26,760
and the concept of it, like too.

637
00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:28,160
I think people would still play that.

638
00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:30,520
And I think that now's the time, bring it back.

639
00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:33,400
Yeah, I think that's what that would be

640
00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:36,280
a better task to undergo.

641
00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:39,520
I don't know, I'm torn on this too.

642
00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:41,760
So I just played it, and I think it holds up great.

643
00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:44,200
It's just a different game than those ones.

644
00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:45,040
You know what I mean?

645
00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:45,880
Yeah.

646
00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:48,400
And so if you were to do that,

647
00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:51,440
I think a larger reimagining would need to be done.

648
00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:54,800
I'm gonna put the G virus.

649
00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:57,120
It's interesting you say that.

650
00:24:57,120 --> 00:24:59,000
There's the T virus, the C virus,

651
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:00,880
and I think the G virus as well.

652
00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:03,800
All right, so whatever one of those viruses,

653
00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:04,800
I'm putting it up to your neck,

654
00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:06,640
and I was like, you got a choice to make right now.

655
00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:08,520
Or I'm gonna insert this.

656
00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:11,000
Resident Evil 1 remake, Resident Evil 5 remake.

657
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:11,840
What do you want?

658
00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:13,320
One, one, one.

659
00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:15,600
No, but there's only one right answer here.

660
00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:17,600
Resident Evil 1 or Resident Evil 5 remake?

661
00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:18,440
It is one.

662
00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:21,560
All right, viruses, I'm holding this to your neck.

663
00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:22,400
Which one?

664
00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:25,360
Resident Evil 1 remake, Resident Evil 5,

665
00:25:25,360 --> 00:25:27,320
6 remake packaged together.

666
00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:28,160
What do you want?

667
00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:29,440
You get one choice though.

668
00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:31,320
There's only a right, run right answer.

669
00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:33,760
One is a better game than both of those two combined.

670
00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:35,840
All right, I accept.

671
00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:36,680
Yeah.

672
00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:37,760
No virus for you.

673
00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:38,600
Thank you.

674
00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:42,880
If you did, I would get the chicken legs

675
00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:44,320
that they have in Resident Evil 6.

676
00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:45,680
Game's fucking wild, dude.

677
00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:49,040
Or maybe I get the butterfly wings.

678
00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:51,200
I like the little, the neck thing, the neck bulges,

679
00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:53,840
the goiters from 4.

680
00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:55,200
Yeah, yeah.

681
00:25:56,880 --> 00:25:58,600
Did you, have you finished Resident Evil 2 remake?

682
00:25:58,600 --> 00:25:59,440
Are you still trucking along with that?

683
00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:00,480
I did, I beat it.

684
00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:01,320
You beat it?

685
00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:02,160
Oh my gosh. I did.

686
00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:03,920
And let me tell ya, let me tell ya.

687
00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:04,760
Anything.

688
00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:08,680
I really do think that story is pretty well told.

689
00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:11,400
Simple, not overly corny.

690
00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:15,120
But some of the plot beats are pretty like, oh.

691
00:26:15,120 --> 00:26:17,840
Like as you're going through it the whole time.

692
00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:23,200
I do have a very major negative complaint for it.

693
00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:28,040
The whole section in the lab with the forest

694
00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:32,000
felt like, oh, we got some padding we gotta fill out.

695
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:32,840
Yeah.

696
00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:36,200
Did you end up getting the flamethrower in the sewers?

697
00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:37,480
Oh yeah, I did.

698
00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:39,960
When I played it the first time, I didn't.

699
00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:41,200
And Alaina and I were like,

700
00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:43,240
I guess I just don't have the item I need to get this.

701
00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:44,640
And then we just moved on.

702
00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:46,080
And then when we got to the plant place,

703
00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:48,960
I was like, I wish.

704
00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:50,080
I had a flamethrower.

705
00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:51,760
I wish I had a flamethrower, that would've been way better.

706
00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:52,720
Yeah, so go on.

707
00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:56,320
I think that game is exceptionally harder

708
00:26:56,320 --> 00:26:58,520
if you don't follow a guide.

709
00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:01,680
Because there are things like missing the flamethrower.

710
00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:02,520
Yeah.

711
00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:03,360
If you miss the flamethrower,

712
00:27:03,360 --> 00:27:05,640
you have made that game harder on yourself.

713
00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:07,800
And I really do think a lot of the game

714
00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:11,960
is about knowing what resources to use

715
00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:12,960
and which ones to not.

716
00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:15,080
Knowing what areas to kill everyone in

717
00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:16,960
and what areas to just run by.

718
00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:22,280
And I think that my experience playing the original,

719
00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:24,440
I basically got like,

720
00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:27,080
I could not get to the police station when I was a kid.

721
00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:28,560
I mean, I was young at the time,

722
00:27:28,560 --> 00:27:30,440
but I kept like, how do you kill all these things?

723
00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:31,920
And I never have any ammo to do it.

724
00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:33,520
Well, you just run past it, boy.

725
00:27:33,520 --> 00:27:34,360
Yeah.

726
00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:37,160
Why'd I say boy like Kratos, but.

727
00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:39,200
I assume it's because you were talking to your younger self.

728
00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:40,680
I was, you idiot.

729
00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:42,800
Playing that at a Toys R Us, you're never gonna beat that.

730
00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:43,640
Yeah.

731
00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:44,480
Yeah.

732
00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:45,320
Yeah.

733
00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:51,000
But yeah, I think it definitely,

734
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:53,360
I think it holds up as a game.

735
00:27:53,360 --> 00:27:56,840
I just can't say I enjoyed playing it,

736
00:27:56,840 --> 00:27:58,480
but that might be the horror elements of it

737
00:27:58,480 --> 00:28:00,560
that are just kind of like whatever.

738
00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:01,400
Yeah.

739
00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:04,000
I couldn't stop playing it if that makes sense.

740
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:04,840
Oh, that's a thing for me.

741
00:28:04,840 --> 00:28:07,640
Like I kept thinking of it and I kept going back to it.

742
00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:10,720
I agree with you entirely.

743
00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:11,560
Yeah.

744
00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:14,240
And to me, that's what makes it, in my opinion,

745
00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:18,080
like a 10 out of 10 game is because it's scary

746
00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:20,320
and I don't like playing it in the sense

747
00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:22,440
that I didn't like watching The Shining

748
00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:25,360
because it was really good at being scary.

749
00:28:25,360 --> 00:28:27,520
But I was thinking about it

750
00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:29,560
and I think it's really well designed.

751
00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:32,920
And I have no nostalgia for the second one,

752
00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:34,240
for like the original one.

753
00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:37,160
Some of those boss fights fucking suck though.

754
00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:39,520
Yeah, that's an area where it feels a little weird

755
00:28:39,520 --> 00:28:40,400
where it's just like, all right,

756
00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:42,400
and I guess time to shoot the guy a bunch of times.

757
00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:45,760
Yeah, like the blob guy that you fight

758
00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:47,760
like three different times, bitch won't die.

759
00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:51,080
Like the second one where you have to use the crane

760
00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:52,200
to kill him.

761
00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:53,800
That sucks, yes.

762
00:28:53,800 --> 00:28:56,200
If I did not read that guide,

763
00:28:56,200 --> 00:28:58,920
I would have been on that fight to this day.

764
00:28:58,920 --> 00:29:01,240
You haven't played the third one, right?

765
00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:02,080
No.

766
00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:03,160
The Resident Evil 3 remake.

767
00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:05,760
So it's funny, you just said bitch won't die

768
00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:08,240
and there's an excellent moment in the second,

769
00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:13,240
in Resident Evil 3 remake where you escape the nemesis

770
00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:17,240
and you push him into a giant lake

771
00:29:17,240 --> 00:29:19,680
or maybe it's like the ocean or something

772
00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:21,480
and Jill just looks at him and goes,

773
00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:24,000
bitch can't even swim.

774
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:28,000
It's so good, it's so good.

775
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:30,280
Okay, so Resident Evil 3, is that similar

776
00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:33,800
to the first half of two or the second half of two?

777
00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:35,520
Well, it's more action focused.

778
00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:39,080
Okay.

779
00:29:39,080 --> 00:29:41,400
Yeah, if you didn't like the action,

780
00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:43,560
like I think it's, I mean it's got that similar thing

781
00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:45,080
of just like run around him, run around him,

782
00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:46,320
you know what I mean?

783
00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:51,320
But it has a more focus on action.

784
00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:53,240
Okay, okay.

785
00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:54,720
Is there enough ammo?

786
00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:56,080
Yeah, but that's the thing,

787
00:29:56,080 --> 00:29:57,960
like it has got that action focus

788
00:29:57,960 --> 00:29:59,920
but it's also like here's an automatic shotgun

789
00:29:59,920 --> 00:30:01,800
and a thousand shotgun rounds.

790
00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:04,080
Yeah, that helps significantly.

791
00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:05,120
I might like it more.

792
00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:07,320
If you enjoyed Resident Evil 2 remake

793
00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:08,600
and are looking for more,

794
00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:10,120
I would play Resident Evil 3 remake

795
00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:12,120
over doing the other campaign

796
00:30:12,120 --> 00:30:13,680
because the other campaign, like the Jill one

797
00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:16,840
or the Claire one is good and it's worth playing.

798
00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:18,560
I really got a lot out of it

799
00:30:18,560 --> 00:30:22,080
but at the end of the day, it is still the same area.

800
00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:23,800
For the most part, it's the same areas.

801
00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:25,840
You get a different story

802
00:30:25,840 --> 00:30:27,680
and instead of doing the stuff with Ada Wong

803
00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:30,480
with Leon, you do a bunch of stuff with,

804
00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:33,000
I'm forgetting her name, this little girl.

805
00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:35,040
And it's, yeah.

806
00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:36,920
I got a new soundboard thing for you.

807
00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:37,760
Yeah, what's up?

808
00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:40,040
The Ashley screaming for Leon.

809
00:30:40,040 --> 00:30:41,640
Dude, I tried to get it when we did-

810
00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:42,720
Oh, did you?

811
00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:45,720
When we did that crossover episode with Buttmashing 101,

812
00:30:45,720 --> 00:30:46,560
check them out.

813
00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:49,360
But I couldn't find a clean one.

814
00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:51,360
Although I was looking while we were recording a podcast.

815
00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:52,200
So like-

816
00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:53,040
Yeah, probably not, yeah, yeah.

817
00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:53,880
But yeah.

818
00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:54,720
Leon!

819
00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:55,560
Leon!

820
00:30:55,560 --> 00:30:56,400
You know?

821
00:30:56,400 --> 00:30:58,720
Yeah, I'm proud of that.

822
00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:00,200
Can we finish our Metacritic roundup?

823
00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:01,480
I realize we didn't even do that.

824
00:31:01,480 --> 00:31:04,640
Oh wow, we're still, well, we did Resident Evil 4.

825
00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:05,480
It was Resident Evil

826
00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:08,160
and we're gonna talk about that a lot more next week too

827
00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:09,880
because I am gonna play the fuck out of that.

828
00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:10,720
Hell yeah.

829
00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:13,440
Let's talk about Chia.

830
00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:15,480
Chia, I also have on my fantasy team.

831
00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:16,320
Chia, Chia, Chia.

832
00:31:16,320 --> 00:31:17,160
Uh oh.

833
00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:18,000
Yep, this is a good one, 79.

834
00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:19,400
Mommy, okay, not bad.

835
00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:24,400
79 on PlayStation 5, 78 on PC, unscored on PS4.

836
00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:26,520
No, 79 is not a bad score.

837
00:31:26,520 --> 00:31:28,240
It's just that for our fantasy team,

838
00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:30,240
if I'm trying to win this year,

839
00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:32,080
79 is just not acceptable.

840
00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:33,480
Especially, here's the reason though.

841
00:31:33,480 --> 00:31:35,000
I bought this, I picked this up

842
00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:37,600
because there was one of the previews that said

843
00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:39,800
this is like this generation's

844
00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:42,800
or maybe like this year's Super Mario Odyssey.

845
00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:46,000
And I was like, oh, I need that on my team.

846
00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:48,040
And it is apparently not.

847
00:31:48,040 --> 00:31:50,000
It seems like people are enjoying it,

848
00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:53,440
Farron, well enough.

849
00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:55,640
This is a game where you play as this,

850
00:31:55,640 --> 00:31:57,800
I think she's like a girl in Hawaii

851
00:31:57,800 --> 00:31:59,880
or maybe one of the Pacific Islands.

852
00:31:59,880 --> 00:32:03,160
Or maybe it's not, inspired by New Caledonia.

853
00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:04,120
I don't even know where that is.

854
00:32:04,120 --> 00:32:05,160
Ooh, you know.

855
00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:10,160
Hitbox, we're about to learn something.

856
00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:13,920
It is in Oceania, so it's over by Australia.

857
00:32:13,920 --> 00:32:16,280
I was gonna be like, you're making even less sense.

858
00:32:16,280 --> 00:32:17,880
Oceania, isn't that like.

859
00:32:20,080 --> 00:32:21,360
Maps.

860
00:32:21,360 --> 00:32:23,240
I'm gonna tell you where New Caledonia is.

861
00:32:23,240 --> 00:32:24,600
Have you ever gone down that rabbit hole

862
00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:25,600
while you're looking this up?

863
00:32:25,600 --> 00:32:27,760
People who like will have an image

864
00:32:27,760 --> 00:32:29,280
and they tell you where it is in the world,

865
00:32:29,280 --> 00:32:30,440
they'll like put a pin down

866
00:32:30,440 --> 00:32:32,200
and whoever gets the closest wins.

867
00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:33,560
Oh, that's like a game, isn't it?

868
00:32:33,560 --> 00:32:37,240
Yeah, man, that makes me feel small and stupid

869
00:32:37,240 --> 00:32:39,080
and very sheltered.

870
00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:43,960
So, I don't know if we're all super familiar

871
00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:46,680
with our Oceania geography,

872
00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:48,280
but I'll give you a little bit of it.

873
00:32:48,280 --> 00:32:52,880
New Caledonia is across the Coral Sea

874
00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:57,600
from Australia, so that is to the east of Australia,

875
00:32:57,600 --> 00:33:01,000
like central, eastern Australia,

876
00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:04,400
really, northeastern Australia, rather.

877
00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:08,960
It is across the Coral Sea to the east.

878
00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:10,320
Coral Sea.

879
00:33:10,320 --> 00:33:12,680
North of New Zealand by quite a bit,

880
00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:17,680
a little bit west of Fiji, Tonga, and Samoa.

881
00:33:19,360 --> 00:33:21,440
So, there you go.

882
00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:24,200
Cool, the more you know, the more you know.

883
00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:31,920
So, it's pretty southwest of Hawaii,

884
00:33:32,800 --> 00:33:34,840
if that also helps,

885
00:33:34,840 --> 00:33:37,000
like a fair amount southwest of Hawaii.

886
00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:41,640
Anyway, Justin, Chia, you play as this little girl

887
00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:46,640
who has the power to take control of any animal or object

888
00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:50,560
and so you can fly like a seagull

889
00:33:50,560 --> 00:33:53,560
or turn into like a little shell or something,

890
00:33:53,560 --> 00:33:55,000
or like a banana and like roll around

891
00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:57,040
and it's like used to like platform and puzzle

892
00:33:57,040 --> 00:33:58,600
and all that sort of stuff.

893
00:33:58,600 --> 00:34:01,000
I'm gonna be picking it up this week for work,

894
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:04,840
so I will let you know how I feel about it next week.

895
00:34:04,840 --> 00:34:06,080
I'm not gonna be picking this up

896
00:34:06,080 --> 00:34:10,840
because I got my second game to be launched on PS Plus

897
00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:12,440
that I still haven't canceled,

898
00:34:12,440 --> 00:34:14,600
premium or whatever I got,

899
00:34:14,600 --> 00:34:16,840
because it's free on that service.

900
00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:18,840
So, you're not gonna pick it up even though it's free?

901
00:34:18,840 --> 00:34:20,800
Well, no, no, no, like I'm not gonna buy it.

902
00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:23,520
Purchase it, yes, this is free for all.

903
00:34:23,520 --> 00:34:25,360
I'm gonna download it.

904
00:34:25,360 --> 00:34:27,000
To me, from what I'm seeing,

905
00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:30,400
it's just like a very like pretty looking game,

906
00:34:30,400 --> 00:34:32,960
has some running issues to it.

907
00:34:32,960 --> 00:34:35,200
The combat is very basic.

908
00:34:35,200 --> 00:34:40,200
The powers to possess things really come down to,

909
00:34:41,160 --> 00:34:44,600
you wanna possess birds because you can fly quick,

910
00:34:44,600 --> 00:34:49,280
everything else is just kinda like fine.

911
00:34:49,280 --> 00:34:52,080
The mechanics look very similar to what you would see

912
00:34:52,080 --> 00:34:55,320
in Breath of the Wild, obviously like a lot of gliding.

913
00:34:55,320 --> 00:34:59,240
They did add this mechanic to like get on a tree

914
00:34:59,240 --> 00:35:00,880
and get flung by the tree to give you

915
00:35:00,880 --> 00:35:03,000
a little bit of momentum, so there's a little bit more

916
00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:05,040
speed and movement with it.

917
00:35:05,040 --> 00:35:08,040
So I think some interesting things about it,

918
00:35:08,040 --> 00:35:10,400
but I feel like I'll be playing this game and be like,

919
00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:13,360
well, any minute now, I'm gonna get Tears of the Kingdom.

920
00:35:13,360 --> 00:35:14,880
Sure, that's fair, that's fair.

921
00:35:14,880 --> 00:35:18,720
There is also a last of a style ukulele playing mechanic.

922
00:35:21,080 --> 00:35:23,160
Do you remember when you're missing a finger

923
00:35:23,160 --> 00:35:24,720
and it's really hard to play?

924
00:35:24,720 --> 00:35:26,320
I do.

925
00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:27,880
Maybe that'll happen in Chia.

926
00:35:28,840 --> 00:35:31,040
You fucking imagine.

927
00:35:31,040 --> 00:35:31,880
Equally as impactful.

928
00:35:31,880 --> 00:35:33,520
Like if the game is just as gory.

929
00:35:34,600 --> 00:35:36,760
Yeah, that's what they don't tell you about it.

930
00:35:38,120 --> 00:35:40,360
Last thing in the Metacritic roundup here is Tetris,

931
00:35:40,360 --> 00:35:43,840
the movie by Apple TV.

932
00:35:43,840 --> 00:35:45,440
It has a 59.

933
00:35:45,440 --> 00:35:46,920
We talked about this a little bit.

934
00:35:46,920 --> 00:35:50,880
I read the book Tetris, The Games We Play,

935
00:35:52,240 --> 00:35:54,960
and was surprised to see that this was like

936
00:35:54,960 --> 00:35:57,340
an espionage thriller movie because,

937
00:35:58,920 --> 00:36:00,960
well, that wasn't how it was in the book.

938
00:36:01,920 --> 00:36:04,200
To be honest, to be honest, I'm not gonna watch this,

939
00:36:04,200 --> 00:36:06,640
to be clear, this is starring Taron Eagerton

940
00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:10,880
and no one else that I recognize here

941
00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:15,880
just off of the castles here.

942
00:36:16,920 --> 00:36:19,560
Listen, Ben Miles is gonna be really upset

943
00:36:19,560 --> 00:36:20,880
you don't know him.

944
00:36:20,880 --> 00:36:24,760
Toby Jones, also just equally as upset.

945
00:36:24,760 --> 00:36:27,240
Rick Youn is like, come on, Peter,

946
00:36:27,240 --> 00:36:29,400
we went to grammar school together.

947
00:36:29,400 --> 00:36:33,560
Rick Youn, not really in, he was on Olympus has Fallen.

948
00:36:33,560 --> 00:36:35,280
Yeah, remember that film?

949
00:36:35,280 --> 00:36:36,800
I thought that was a fun movie.

950
00:36:36,800 --> 00:36:38,640
With God of the.

951
00:36:38,640 --> 00:36:43,400
Is that Morgan Freeman and Gerard Butler?

952
00:36:43,400 --> 00:36:44,960
It is, that's a good flick.

953
00:36:44,960 --> 00:36:48,000
Oh, that's pretty cool actually.

954
00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:48,920
I liked it.

955
00:36:48,920 --> 00:36:52,160
Six Degrees of Gerard Butler.

956
00:36:52,160 --> 00:36:53,440
Olympus has Fallen.

957
00:36:53,440 --> 00:36:55,320
Yeah, no, so Tetris, the movie though,

958
00:36:55,320 --> 00:36:57,240
it's interesting because like I said,

959
00:36:57,240 --> 00:37:05,680
the book, it wasn't like a spy thriller story,

960
00:37:05,680 --> 00:37:10,680
it was more of an interesting corporate business story.

961
00:37:12,280 --> 00:37:14,200
And I thought it was actually quite interesting

962
00:37:14,200 --> 00:37:15,480
and I'm a little bit disappointed to see

963
00:37:15,480 --> 00:37:18,360
that it's not taking that route with it,

964
00:37:18,360 --> 00:37:20,280
that it's going for more of a suspense thriller

965
00:37:20,280 --> 00:37:21,120
sort of thing.

966
00:37:21,120 --> 00:37:22,320
Because I think the corporate stuff

967
00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:23,200
is actually very interesting.

968
00:37:23,200 --> 00:37:28,200
Basically, a guy got the rights to publish Tetris

969
00:37:28,200 --> 00:37:31,080
worldwide from the maker.

970
00:37:31,080 --> 00:37:35,080
His name's like Alexi something is the name of the,

971
00:37:35,080 --> 00:37:38,920
Alexi Pajitatov, he's the guy who made Tetris.

972
00:37:38,920 --> 00:37:42,480
And he basically gave the rights to publish it

973
00:37:44,200 --> 00:37:46,480
to some guy in Europe.

974
00:37:46,480 --> 00:37:51,160
And that guy misunderstood their communications

975
00:37:51,160 --> 00:37:55,600
because it was like 1960 or 1980 maybe.

976
00:37:55,600 --> 00:37:58,640
And basically they misunderstood each other

977
00:37:58,640 --> 00:38:01,720
because of the translations and everything like that.

978
00:38:01,720 --> 00:38:03,600
And basically this guy thought he had the rights

979
00:38:03,600 --> 00:38:06,080
for all of Tetris and that he could then sell the rights.

980
00:38:06,080 --> 00:38:08,440
So he basically sold the rights to three different companies,

981
00:38:08,440 --> 00:38:10,640
one for the PC publishing,

982
00:38:10,640 --> 00:38:12,560
one for handheld gaming publishing

983
00:38:12,560 --> 00:38:14,480
and one for console publishing.

984
00:38:14,480 --> 00:38:17,360
So basically he sold it to those,

985
00:38:17,360 --> 00:38:21,320
to, I don't remember who was the PC one,

986
00:38:21,320 --> 00:38:25,080
but then the handheld gaming one was to Nintendo.

987
00:38:25,080 --> 00:38:26,920
And then the other one was to Atari.

988
00:38:26,920 --> 00:38:28,840
The console gaming one was to Atari.

989
00:38:28,840 --> 00:38:31,200
But when he sold it to Nintendo,

990
00:38:31,200 --> 00:38:33,400
Nintendo thought that they had the rights to publish it

991
00:38:33,400 --> 00:38:37,280
for both handhelds and consoles.

992
00:38:37,280 --> 00:38:40,920
So then Nintendo and Atari get into a legal battle

993
00:38:40,920 --> 00:38:42,680
and then they come talk to this guy.

994
00:38:42,680 --> 00:38:45,120
And then that guy comes back to the Russian government.

995
00:38:45,120 --> 00:38:47,720
It's like, I'm in some trouble here.

996
00:38:47,720 --> 00:38:48,920
And then so they have to get all of them

997
00:38:48,920 --> 00:38:51,120
to talk with each other.

998
00:38:51,120 --> 00:38:52,720
And it's a very interesting story.

999
00:38:52,720 --> 00:38:55,480
And I think that would be a very interesting movie

1000
00:38:55,480 --> 00:38:57,760
in my opinion, but they took a different route with it,

1001
00:38:57,760 --> 00:38:59,800
but whatever, I'm not gonna watch this.

1002
00:38:59,800 --> 00:39:00,640
Oh, I mean.

1003
00:39:00,640 --> 00:39:02,240
Read the book, it's pretty good.

1004
00:39:02,240 --> 00:39:05,640
I might, this might be one of those ones I'll watch

1005
00:39:05,640 --> 00:39:06,480
and then read.

1006
00:39:06,480 --> 00:39:07,560
I mean, it's not Apple TV Plus,

1007
00:39:07,560 --> 00:39:08,720
I gotta justify having that.

1008
00:39:08,720 --> 00:39:11,040
Ted Lasso's out right now, I've been watching that, good show.

1009
00:39:11,040 --> 00:39:11,880
Is it good?

1010
00:39:11,880 --> 00:39:12,720
I've been watching.

1011
00:39:12,720 --> 00:39:13,540
I know we talked about that,

1012
00:39:13,540 --> 00:39:15,040
but there's just some good moments.

1013
00:39:15,040 --> 00:39:17,000
I just, something about that makes me,

1014
00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:17,840
I'm done watching it.

1015
00:39:17,840 --> 00:39:19,160
I'm gonna be positive today, you know what I mean?

1016
00:39:19,160 --> 00:39:20,000
I'm gonna be positive.

1017
00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:20,840
I'm gonna watch this Tetris movie,

1018
00:39:20,840 --> 00:39:22,840
I'm gonna smile about it.

1019
00:39:22,840 --> 00:39:24,640
Yeah, I'll do that.

1020
00:39:24,640 --> 00:39:26,520
Maybe they watched Kingsman with Taron Egerton

1021
00:39:26,520 --> 00:39:27,800
and they were like, well, we gotta do some of that

1022
00:39:27,800 --> 00:39:29,200
in the Tetris movie.

1023
00:39:29,200 --> 00:39:33,400
Is the Kingsman 2 also, has some awesome scenes in it

1024
00:39:33,400 --> 00:39:35,680
involving Elton John?

1025
00:39:38,360 --> 00:39:40,080
From my memory, yeah.

1026
00:39:40,080 --> 00:39:41,160
It's not as good as the first one,

1027
00:39:41,160 --> 00:39:42,880
but I certainly enjoyed it.

1028
00:39:42,880 --> 00:39:45,440
Good fight scenes in there, good moments.

1029
00:39:45,440 --> 00:39:47,920
Yeah, I wouldn't say it's a flick

1030
00:39:47,920 --> 00:39:50,040
that everyone should see.

1031
00:39:50,040 --> 00:39:51,960
I wouldn't say it's an essential action movie

1032
00:39:51,960 --> 00:39:54,360
in the way that Kingsman 1 is.

1033
00:39:54,360 --> 00:39:58,240
And also, The King's Man, I think I liked okay.

1034
00:39:59,120 --> 00:40:00,760
That was fine.

1035
00:40:00,760 --> 00:40:04,960
In The King's Man 2, there's a meat grinder

1036
00:40:04,960 --> 00:40:07,580
as one of the central.

1037
00:40:07,580 --> 00:40:09,200
Pedro Pascal?

1038
00:40:09,200 --> 00:40:10,720
Oh my God, that's Pedro Pascal.

1039
00:40:10,720 --> 00:40:12,120
That is Pedro Pascal.

1040
00:40:12,120 --> 00:40:12,960
Wow.

1041
00:40:13,840 --> 00:40:16,880
I'm seeing, he is so memeable right now on the TikToks.

1042
00:40:16,880 --> 00:40:18,680
Dude, he's big.

1043
00:40:18,680 --> 00:40:20,080
The one of him just eating.

1044
00:40:22,080 --> 00:40:24,080
He had a pretty good Hot Ones interview.

1045
00:40:25,040 --> 00:40:26,680
Let's talk about the news,

1046
00:40:26,680 --> 00:40:29,600
if I can direct us to gaming news, is that okay?

1047
00:40:29,600 --> 00:40:31,040
Yeah, all two stories.

1048
00:40:31,040 --> 00:40:31,880
Yeah.

1049
00:40:31,880 --> 00:40:32,720
Yeah.

1050
00:40:37,280 --> 00:40:41,600
Starfield, Justin, is nearly upon us.

1051
00:40:41,600 --> 00:40:44,760
I mean, we've still got a while yet until it comes out.

1052
00:40:44,760 --> 00:40:47,000
But as all games must,

1053
00:40:47,000 --> 00:40:51,640
it is being looked at by content advisory boards

1054
00:40:51,640 --> 00:40:55,000
and so far has received an 18 plus rating in Australia

1055
00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:58,520
due to its depiction of interactive drug use.

1056
00:40:58,520 --> 00:41:03,240
It has a PEGI 18 in Europe and an ESRB M rated,

1057
00:41:03,240 --> 00:41:06,120
that's 17 and up, in the US.

1058
00:41:06,120 --> 00:41:11,120
Notably, while it does have that drug use in it

1059
00:41:12,440 --> 00:41:15,640
as outlined by the Australian government,

1060
00:41:16,800 --> 00:41:19,760
apparently there's not a whole lot of romance.

1061
00:41:19,760 --> 00:41:23,120
And by that I mean, no one's fucking in Starfield.

1062
00:41:23,120 --> 00:41:28,120
Apparently it's just not listed for anything like that.

1063
00:41:28,600 --> 00:41:30,480
Well, it's just when you're in space,

1064
00:41:30,480 --> 00:41:32,000
the mechanics of that are really hard.

1065
00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:36,200
Either way, has anyone ever had sex in space before?

1066
00:41:36,200 --> 00:41:37,040
Um.

1067
00:41:38,840 --> 00:41:40,760
I feel like this is a Google moment.

1068
00:41:40,760 --> 00:41:44,040
I'm gonna, I'm in an incognito tab

1069
00:41:44,040 --> 00:41:45,160
because I feel like this could also be

1070
00:41:45,160 --> 00:41:46,680
a very specific fetish.

1071
00:41:46,680 --> 00:41:51,680
Has anyone ever had sex in space?

1072
00:41:51,960 --> 00:41:53,200
Uh, no.

1073
00:41:54,280 --> 00:41:56,840
I mean, they insist that they have not.

1074
00:41:56,840 --> 00:42:00,600
But American astronauts, this is according to dw.com,

1075
00:42:00,600 --> 00:42:01,600
don't know about it.

1076
00:42:01,600 --> 00:42:04,560
American astronauts famously avoid the topic.

1077
00:42:04,560 --> 00:42:06,680
The few experiments that have been conducted on SpaceX

1078
00:42:06,680 --> 00:42:08,280
focused on animals, not humans.

1079
00:42:08,280 --> 00:42:09,800
So there's, wait a second.

1080
00:42:11,040 --> 00:42:15,600
That's a very specific, very specific,

1081
00:42:16,880 --> 00:42:18,520
very specific clarification.

1082
00:42:18,520 --> 00:42:22,480
Few experiments conducted with animals, not humans.

1083
00:42:22,480 --> 00:42:26,560
Um, okay, so there is a Wikipedia page for sex in space.

1084
00:42:26,560 --> 00:42:28,600
And it is fucking wild.

1085
00:42:28,600 --> 00:42:29,760
Pulled up, pulled up.

1086
00:42:29,760 --> 00:42:32,840
Um, there's a lot here.

1087
00:42:32,840 --> 00:42:36,360
Basically, I'm looking under the planned attempts tab

1088
00:42:36,360 --> 00:42:37,680
where it says in June 2015.

1089
00:42:37,680 --> 00:42:40,160
I don't know, I don't know if we can, I,

1090
00:42:40,160 --> 00:42:43,280
Justin, we've never talked about the type of content

1091
00:42:43,280 --> 00:42:45,120
that we want on our programming, on our show.

1092
00:42:45,120 --> 00:42:46,600
We're just reporting news.

1093
00:42:46,600 --> 00:42:47,440
This is.

1094
00:42:47,440 --> 00:42:48,280
Can we talk about this?

1095
00:42:48,280 --> 00:42:49,440
This NASA?

1096
00:42:50,520 --> 00:42:53,400
This is from another website.

1097
00:42:53,400 --> 00:42:54,240
Oh.

1098
00:42:56,360 --> 00:42:57,840
Let's call it an adult website.

1099
00:42:57,840 --> 00:43:01,200
I mean, like, I don't wanna, okay.

1100
00:43:01,200 --> 00:43:04,400
In 2015, an adult website, one that is

1101
00:43:06,240 --> 00:43:09,000
widely renowned and pretty famous.

1102
00:43:09,000 --> 00:43:10,520
You might be able to guess it.

1103
00:43:10,520 --> 00:43:11,880
IGN.

1104
00:43:11,880 --> 00:43:13,880
Yep, planned, announces plans to make

1105
00:43:13,880 --> 00:43:16,280
its first ever film in space.

1106
00:43:16,280 --> 00:43:19,520
It had a crowdfunding campaign for the movie,

1107
00:43:19,520 --> 00:43:21,880
which is called Sexploration.

1108
00:43:21,880 --> 00:43:25,320
It received $3.4 million in 60 days.

1109
00:43:25,320 --> 00:43:26,160
God.

1110
00:43:28,160 --> 00:43:29,600
Oh no, it wanted to receive.

1111
00:43:29,600 --> 00:43:30,560
Oh, okay.

1112
00:43:30,560 --> 00:43:32,200
Yeah, it only raised.

1113
00:43:32,200 --> 00:43:33,840
People want that.

1114
00:43:33,840 --> 00:43:35,800
236,000.

1115
00:43:37,080 --> 00:43:38,960
It just didn't happen.

1116
00:43:38,960 --> 00:43:39,800
Love him or hate him.

1117
00:43:39,800 --> 00:43:41,320
If you want someone to back this,

1118
00:43:41,320 --> 00:43:43,760
you need to let Elon Musk know that this,

1119
00:43:43,760 --> 00:43:45,560
we must do this right now.

1120
00:43:45,560 --> 00:43:47,400
Oh, he's such a fucking child

1121
00:43:47,400 --> 00:43:50,240
that he would make it his ultimate goal.

1122
00:43:51,400 --> 00:43:52,560
To do that, yeah.

1123
00:43:52,560 --> 00:43:54,920
He's just such a, like,

1124
00:43:54,920 --> 00:43:58,080
let's, what if we did Sex in Space?

1125
00:43:58,080 --> 00:44:00,480
So basically what you're telling me is that

1126
00:44:00,480 --> 00:44:02,640
Bethesda was like, we did our research.

1127
00:44:02,640 --> 00:44:04,760
It's not been done, nor are we.

1128
00:44:04,760 --> 00:44:06,280
We're gonna be the most realistic

1129
00:44:06,280 --> 00:44:09,000
space simulator game ever.

1130
00:44:09,000 --> 00:44:10,560
Simulate drug use, great.

1131
00:44:10,560 --> 00:44:11,880
You can do that in space.

1132
00:44:11,880 --> 00:44:13,000
No sex, hasn't been done.

1133
00:44:13,000 --> 00:44:13,840
We don't know.

1134
00:44:13,840 --> 00:44:14,800
We don't know the physics.

1135
00:44:14,800 --> 00:44:18,360
Bethesda said, in space?

1136
00:44:18,360 --> 00:44:19,520
Not on our watch.

1137
00:44:22,800 --> 00:44:24,480
But, well, yeah.

1138
00:44:24,480 --> 00:44:25,640
So I don't know.

1139
00:44:25,640 --> 00:44:26,720
I always think it's interesting.

1140
00:44:26,720 --> 00:44:28,320
We talked about this with Xenoblade Chronicles 3.

1141
00:44:28,320 --> 00:44:32,200
I always find these leaked content

1142
00:44:32,200 --> 00:44:34,560
from ESRB ratings and stuff kind of silly.

1143
00:44:34,560 --> 00:44:37,480
Not silly, it's just funny to read about these moments

1144
00:44:37,480 --> 00:44:38,560
completely out of context.

1145
00:44:38,560 --> 00:44:40,720
Or if you remember, they listed all of the swear words

1146
00:44:40,720 --> 00:44:42,040
in Xenoblade Chronicles 3 and I was like,

1147
00:44:42,040 --> 00:44:43,720
oh, this is kind of funny.

1148
00:44:43,720 --> 00:44:45,520
All of them said by Uni.

1149
00:44:45,520 --> 00:44:46,360
Yeah.

1150
00:44:47,320 --> 00:44:48,400
Hear that, Noah?

1151
00:44:48,400 --> 00:44:50,960
Lance wants something a bit meatier.

1152
00:44:50,960 --> 00:44:52,120
That's one of the fours. Is that a swear word?

1153
00:44:52,120 --> 00:44:52,960
I don't know.

1154
00:44:52,960 --> 00:44:53,800
What?

1155
00:44:53,800 --> 00:44:55,120
What, meatier?

1156
00:44:55,120 --> 00:44:56,560
Lance wants something meatier.

1157
00:44:56,560 --> 00:44:59,560
What a good game.

1158
00:44:59,560 --> 00:45:01,800
What a 10 out of 10 game of the year

1159
00:45:01,800 --> 00:45:03,640
that we didn't give game of the year.

1160
00:45:03,640 --> 00:45:04,800
And I didn't give it a 10 out of 10.

1161
00:45:04,800 --> 00:45:06,120
I gave it an eight out of 10 on Game Skinny.

1162
00:45:06,120 --> 00:45:07,240
Should have given it a 10 out of 10.

1163
00:45:07,240 --> 00:45:08,080
Let's just end with it.

1164
00:45:08,080 --> 00:45:10,320
No, I think you would give it a 10 out of 10

1165
00:45:10,320 --> 00:45:13,080
after playing it for 70 hours, 60 hours.

1166
00:45:13,080 --> 00:45:14,400
Having finished it, yes.

1167
00:45:14,400 --> 00:45:15,920
In the middle of it, I don't know.

1168
00:45:15,920 --> 00:45:17,280
But isn't that a problem?

1169
00:45:18,360 --> 00:45:19,560
You stick by your choice.

1170
00:45:19,560 --> 00:45:21,080
Yeah, I would stand by it.

1171
00:45:21,080 --> 00:45:21,920
Yeah.

1172
00:45:21,920 --> 00:45:23,040
It was good. I liked it.

1173
00:45:24,000 --> 00:45:24,840
Clearly.

1174
00:45:25,880 --> 00:45:26,720
I don't know.

1175
00:45:26,720 --> 00:45:28,600
There's not much else to say about this.

1176
00:45:29,640 --> 00:45:31,960
I think we said everything that could be said about it.

1177
00:45:31,960 --> 00:45:33,040
And then some.

1178
00:45:33,040 --> 00:45:35,160
In a very different way than I imagined it would go.

1179
00:45:35,160 --> 00:45:36,000
And then some.

1180
00:45:38,000 --> 00:45:40,520
There's a new Persona 5 spin-off again.

1181
00:45:40,520 --> 00:45:43,280
It's called Persona 5 The Phantom X.

1182
00:45:43,280 --> 00:45:45,760
And it's a mobile game, and it's only gonna be in China.

1183
00:45:45,760 --> 00:45:47,960
And I'm upset about it because

1184
00:45:47,960 --> 00:45:50,120
now that I have a beefy smartphone,

1185
00:45:50,120 --> 00:45:52,160
I'm looking for games to play.

1186
00:45:52,160 --> 00:45:55,280
I know that when Zenla Zone Zero comes out,

1187
00:45:55,280 --> 00:45:56,360
that's the follow-up.

1188
00:45:59,680 --> 00:46:02,000
Who makes Genshin Impact?

1189
00:46:02,000 --> 00:46:02,840
Mihoyo?

1190
00:46:04,080 --> 00:46:05,880
Sure, I think that's their name.

1191
00:46:05,880 --> 00:46:06,720
That's a game.

1192
00:46:06,720 --> 00:46:07,880
When that comes out, that's gonna be

1193
00:46:07,880 --> 00:46:09,040
one of those mobile games.

1194
00:46:09,040 --> 00:46:12,320
I'm gonna give it a try on this here.

1195
00:46:12,320 --> 00:46:14,720
Galaxy S23 Ultra.

1196
00:46:14,720 --> 00:46:16,400
We're gonna see how it goes.

1197
00:46:16,400 --> 00:46:18,560
But Persona 5 The Phantom X,

1198
00:46:18,560 --> 00:46:20,200
I watched the trailer for.

1199
00:46:20,200 --> 00:46:21,760
Have you watched, did you watch it?

1200
00:46:21,760 --> 00:46:26,760
Yeah, yeah, I mean, it looks like a Persona 5-ass game.

1201
00:46:26,840 --> 00:46:29,000
It looks, I mean, it's like, you know, not copying.

1202
00:46:29,000 --> 00:46:30,160
I say that in a positive,

1203
00:46:30,160 --> 00:46:32,120
I know my tone seemed a little bit negative,

1204
00:46:32,120 --> 00:46:35,240
but I mean, it looks like a Persona 5.

1205
00:46:35,240 --> 00:46:36,080
It looks great, yeah.

1206
00:46:36,080 --> 00:46:39,080
It's got the style, the animation, the characters,

1207
00:46:39,080 --> 00:46:41,480
turn-based exploration, you're in the car,

1208
00:46:41,480 --> 00:46:43,800
you don't have Morgana, you have something else.

1209
00:46:43,800 --> 00:46:44,920
Something else, yeah.

1210
00:46:44,920 --> 00:46:47,400
The Velvet Room is in Aquarium, which looks awesome.

1211
00:46:47,400 --> 00:46:48,520
Is it spoiling anything?

1212
00:46:48,520 --> 00:46:50,440
Does Morgana ever turn, do you ever find out

1213
00:46:50,440 --> 00:46:52,000
why Morgana is a cat?

1214
00:46:53,360 --> 00:46:54,400
Yes.

1215
00:46:54,400 --> 00:46:56,200
Is it like a big reveal?

1216
00:46:56,200 --> 00:46:57,560
It is a big reveal.

1217
00:46:58,720 --> 00:46:59,560
I mean, like,

1218
00:47:02,920 --> 00:47:04,800
like, I'm not gonna spoil Persona 5,

1219
00:47:04,800 --> 00:47:08,560
but it is something that, like, Morgana's character,

1220
00:47:08,560 --> 00:47:10,560
like, it's pretty essential to his character.

1221
00:47:10,560 --> 00:47:12,800
And by the time, like, it is revealed,

1222
00:47:13,640 --> 00:47:16,720
he's been going on about it for about 80 hours,

1223
00:47:16,720 --> 00:47:19,240
maybe even 90, it's pretty late in the game.

1224
00:47:19,240 --> 00:47:23,080
And like, for me personally, I was like,

1225
00:47:23,080 --> 00:47:25,760
yeah, like, this was not as big of a deal.

1226
00:47:25,760 --> 00:47:27,280
Not the A-plot I was expecting.

1227
00:47:27,280 --> 00:47:29,320
Right, like, this was not as big of a deal.

1228
00:47:29,320 --> 00:47:31,640
Like, I could've kinda seen where this is coming from.

1229
00:47:31,640 --> 00:47:34,640
But yes, they wrap it up in an interesting way.

1230
00:47:34,640 --> 00:47:36,680
And in Royal, too, especially, it

1231
00:47:39,120 --> 00:47:40,560
expands on that a little bit more

1232
00:47:40,560 --> 00:47:44,840
in a way that I think is pretty fun, and also troubling.

1233
00:47:44,840 --> 00:47:46,440
Oh, okay, wow, okay.

1234
00:47:46,440 --> 00:47:48,240
Like, when it's all resolved, you're like,

1235
00:47:48,240 --> 00:47:49,360
okay, good, good, good, good.

1236
00:47:49,360 --> 00:47:50,920
But when you think that it's resolved,

1237
00:47:50,920 --> 00:47:53,040
it's a little bit like, huh, interesting.

1238
00:47:53,040 --> 00:47:53,880
Interesting.

1239
00:47:54,960 --> 00:47:57,480
But this Persona 5, the Phantom X,

1240
00:47:58,320 --> 00:48:00,200
should it ever release in the States,

1241
00:48:00,200 --> 00:48:03,840
I will play it, I would like to.

1242
00:48:03,840 --> 00:48:05,480
I mean, it looks like more Persona 5,

1243
00:48:05,480 --> 00:48:07,720
and if I can play Persona 5 on my phone,

1244
00:48:07,720 --> 00:48:09,040
you know that I'm about that shit.

1245
00:48:09,040 --> 00:48:10,880
And what if it doesn't release, what are you gonna do?

1246
00:48:10,880 --> 00:48:13,480
Just let it sit there and not thinking about it?

1247
00:48:13,480 --> 00:48:15,480
I will go on with my life.

1248
00:48:15,480 --> 00:48:17,360
You're not gonna learn a different language

1249
00:48:17,360 --> 00:48:19,280
or just struggle through.

1250
00:48:19,280 --> 00:48:21,400
Maybe I'll learn how to speak,

1251
00:48:21,400 --> 00:48:22,800
there's been like four languages in China,

1252
00:48:22,800 --> 00:48:25,160
like which one do you think this is?

1253
00:48:25,160 --> 00:48:26,480
Does it say in this article here?

1254
00:48:26,480 --> 00:48:27,320
It doesn't.

1255
00:48:29,000 --> 00:48:32,640
Yeah, I don't know, I'll be interested to see this

1256
00:48:32,640 --> 00:48:33,640
if it ever comes out here.

1257
00:48:33,640 --> 00:48:35,280
I would definitely play through all of this

1258
00:48:35,280 --> 00:48:36,560
to at least talk about it.

1259
00:48:36,560 --> 00:48:38,400
Although, listen, I love Persona 5,

1260
00:48:38,400 --> 00:48:40,360
and as I play more of Persona 4, by the way,

1261
00:48:40,360 --> 00:48:43,400
it just makes me think, damn, I fucking love Persona 5.

1262
00:48:43,400 --> 00:48:45,920
Do you think, does the game translate

1263
00:48:45,920 --> 00:48:50,920
to having mobile game gacha mechanics?

1264
00:48:51,240 --> 00:48:52,720
Is that gonna ruin the game, do you think?

1265
00:48:52,720 --> 00:48:55,120
Yeah, so I saw that it's like a gacha game.

1266
00:48:55,120 --> 00:48:57,360
I assume that it's just like the Personas you have.

1267
00:48:57,360 --> 00:48:58,200
Oh, okay.

1268
00:48:58,200 --> 00:48:59,840
Which are already kind of a crap shoot,

1269
00:48:59,840 --> 00:49:00,680
you know what I mean?

1270
00:49:00,680 --> 00:49:01,760
And I never get attached to them

1271
00:49:01,760 --> 00:49:03,280
because it's just like as soon as they are not useful

1272
00:49:03,280 --> 00:49:06,320
anymore, I just fucking ice them or fuse them.

1273
00:49:06,320 --> 00:49:07,160
Oh, wow, jeez.

1274
00:49:07,160 --> 00:49:08,000
You know what I mean?

1275
00:49:08,000 --> 00:49:09,520
I'm never gonna give you a pet.

1276
00:49:09,520 --> 00:49:12,880
No, I mean, would it ever not be useful anymore

1277
00:49:12,880 --> 00:49:13,920
in terms of looking cute and being cute?

1278
00:49:13,920 --> 00:49:15,840
I've been questioning my dog's usefulness

1279
00:49:15,840 --> 00:49:17,480
since the day we got him.

1280
00:49:17,480 --> 00:49:19,880
So then it's good that you have him and not me, I guess.

1281
00:49:19,880 --> 00:49:24,880
Yeah, I am hoping that this comes out here.

1282
00:49:29,920 --> 00:49:31,400
I don't know, I would like to play it.

1283
00:49:31,400 --> 00:49:33,080
But I'm also just ready for Persona 6.

1284
00:49:33,080 --> 00:49:34,640
Hey, Atlas, get on that.

1285
00:49:34,640 --> 00:49:38,240
What if they release this game and the ax actually,

1286
00:49:38,240 --> 00:49:39,920
it's Persona 5, the Phantom Axe,

1287
00:49:39,920 --> 00:49:43,240
but they cross out the five and they put a six in there?

1288
00:49:43,240 --> 00:49:44,080
I would be, I mean,

1289
00:49:44,080 --> 00:49:46,120
Resident Evil 6.

1290
00:49:46,120 --> 00:49:48,480
And it's actually just the Resident Evil 6 remake.

1291
00:49:48,480 --> 00:49:49,880
We all want it.

1292
00:49:49,880 --> 00:49:51,040
If it was a Resident Evil,

1293
00:49:51,040 --> 00:49:54,720
if they remade Resident Evil 6 in a style of Persona 5,

1294
00:49:54,720 --> 00:49:55,560
I'd play it.

1295
00:49:55,560 --> 00:49:56,720
Have you seen like there's all these things

1296
00:49:56,720 --> 00:49:59,280
like someone used Lego to remake Resident Evil 4,

1297
00:49:59,280 --> 00:50:01,000
like the opening scene from it.

1298
00:50:01,000 --> 00:50:01,840
That's awesome.

1299
00:50:01,840 --> 00:50:04,400
Then there was like a Studio Ghibli thing

1300
00:50:04,400 --> 00:50:07,520
that had like in the style of that, but part of the remake.

1301
00:50:07,520 --> 00:50:08,800
That's what we need.

1302
00:50:08,800 --> 00:50:09,640
I love that.

1303
00:50:09,640 --> 00:50:10,480
That's great.

1304
00:50:10,480 --> 00:50:12,480
There's also a mod that you can have.

1305
00:50:12,480 --> 00:50:13,320
Is Dick out?

1306
00:50:13,320 --> 00:50:14,160
I saw that.

1307
00:50:15,160 --> 00:50:17,320
Are we talking about the same thing?

1308
00:50:17,320 --> 00:50:18,240
I mean, we could.

1309
00:50:18,240 --> 00:50:19,680
Yeah, sure.

1310
00:50:19,680 --> 00:50:20,800
Well, what was your thing?

1311
00:50:20,800 --> 00:50:23,760
I was gonna say CJ from Grand Theft Auto San Andreas.

1312
00:50:23,760 --> 00:50:24,600
Oh.

1313
00:50:24,600 --> 00:50:25,420
No, I wasn't.

1314
00:50:25,420 --> 00:50:26,260
I was telling you to say the other one.

1315
00:50:26,260 --> 00:50:31,260
This is our, this is our sassiest episode yet, man.

1316
00:50:35,080 --> 00:50:36,440
That's the title.

1317
00:50:38,160 --> 00:50:39,520
Yeah.

1318
00:50:39,520 --> 00:50:41,280
Yeah, we got there.

1319
00:50:41,280 --> 00:50:43,360
Yeah, I mean, like I love Persona 5, but I'm also ready.

1320
00:50:43,360 --> 00:50:44,200
I'm ready for more.

1321
00:50:44,200 --> 00:50:45,920
I'm ready for something new, something fresh.

1322
00:50:45,920 --> 00:50:46,760
You know what I mean?

1323
00:50:46,760 --> 00:50:48,320
And like, I know that, you know,

1324
00:50:48,320 --> 00:50:50,120
hey, it's making them a lot of money

1325
00:50:50,120 --> 00:50:51,080
because people fucking love it.

1326
00:50:51,080 --> 00:50:51,920
I love it.

1327
00:50:51,920 --> 00:50:53,000
You know, I liked Persona 5 Strikers.

1328
00:50:53,000 --> 00:50:55,520
I played, you know, two hours of Dancing in the Starlight.

1329
00:50:55,520 --> 00:50:56,540
You know, I,

1330
00:50:58,480 --> 00:51:01,360
I love Persona 5 specifically,

1331
00:51:01,360 --> 00:51:03,080
but I'm ready for the next step.

1332
00:51:03,080 --> 00:51:06,560
Because if you look at like in playing Persona 4 Golden,

1333
00:51:06,560 --> 00:51:07,720
like compared to Persona 5,

1334
00:51:07,720 --> 00:51:10,360
like it's clear like that they just,

1335
00:51:10,360 --> 00:51:12,280
they took everything in Persona 4 Golden

1336
00:51:12,280 --> 00:51:15,100
and just like cranked everything up to 10.

1337
00:51:16,000 --> 00:51:17,480
And then that's Persona 5.

1338
00:51:17,480 --> 00:51:18,520
And that's why I love it.

1339
00:51:18,520 --> 00:51:20,480
And that's why I'm like a little bit less in love

1340
00:51:20,480 --> 00:51:21,640
with Persona 4 Golden.

1341
00:51:22,600 --> 00:51:24,160
P4G is the title screen calls it.

1342
00:51:24,160 --> 00:51:25,280
Old games are old.

1343
00:51:25,280 --> 00:51:26,120
Yeah.

1344
00:51:26,120 --> 00:51:26,960
Yeah, right, exactly.

1345
00:51:26,960 --> 00:51:30,200
So like, if they do that, if they turn everything up to 11,

1346
00:51:30,200 --> 00:51:32,400
it's a little Spinal Tap reference for you.

1347
00:51:33,320 --> 00:51:36,120
For Persona 6, like, come on, I'm here for it.

1348
00:51:36,120 --> 00:51:38,240
Spinal Tap's a music group, right?

1349
00:51:38,240 --> 00:51:40,280
It is a mockumentary movie.

1350
00:51:40,280 --> 00:51:41,120
I was close.

1351
00:51:41,120 --> 00:51:42,800
It's about like a rock band.

1352
00:51:42,800 --> 00:51:43,640
Oh, okay, good.

1353
00:51:43,640 --> 00:51:45,840
I was like, oh, we're gonna miss.

1354
00:51:45,840 --> 00:51:49,800
And the joke in the movies that their amps all go up to 11

1355
00:51:49,800 --> 00:51:53,880
because, well, 10 was just not enough.

1356
00:51:53,880 --> 00:51:55,360
It's just, yeah, you go higher.

1357
00:51:55,360 --> 00:51:56,200
Always go higher.

1358
00:51:57,560 --> 00:51:59,440
Justin, here's something sad.

1359
00:51:59,440 --> 00:52:00,880
Lance Reddick died.

1360
00:52:00,880 --> 00:52:05,880
And he is, like, in terms of video games,

1361
00:52:05,880 --> 00:52:09,420
he is Commander Zavala in Destiny, Destiny 2.

1362
00:52:09,420 --> 00:52:12,280
I've never played that, so I can't really speak to that,

1363
00:52:12,280 --> 00:52:15,620
but I knew him most from, he's the concierge

1364
00:52:15,620 --> 00:52:17,940
in the John Wick series.

1365
00:52:17,940 --> 00:52:20,580
Like, he was literally doing press touring for that.

1366
00:52:20,580 --> 00:52:24,580
Yeah, he's also the bad guy in Horizon Zero Dawn

1367
00:52:24,580 --> 00:52:27,000
and Forbidden West, which when he appeared

1368
00:52:27,000 --> 00:52:29,640
in Horizon Zero Dawn, when I was playing that through

1369
00:52:29,640 --> 00:52:32,180
the first time, I was like, fucking, finally,

1370
00:52:32,180 --> 00:52:34,100
someone interesting and good.

1371
00:52:34,100 --> 00:52:37,300
Like, thank you for being in this game, Lance Reddick.

1372
00:52:37,300 --> 00:52:40,380
He's also, he was like a bad guy in Quantum Break as well.

1373
00:52:42,460 --> 00:52:43,300
He's in the Wire.

1374
00:52:43,300 --> 00:52:44,140
Resident Evil TV series, right?

1375
00:52:44,140 --> 00:52:44,980
Resident Evil TV series?

1376
00:52:44,980 --> 00:52:47,340
Oh yeah, he played Wesker in that apparently terrible

1377
00:52:47,340 --> 00:52:48,780
Resident Evil Netflix show.

1378
00:52:50,460 --> 00:52:52,580
Yeah, I mean, he's pretty great,

1379
00:52:52,580 --> 00:52:54,980
and I am a huge fan of him.

1380
00:52:54,980 --> 00:52:56,900
I was a big fan of his Twitter account, too.

1381
00:52:56,900 --> 00:52:59,180
He would tweet videos of him and his dogs

1382
00:52:59,180 --> 00:53:00,460
and stuff like that.

1383
00:53:00,460 --> 00:53:01,820
It's very sad, I don't know.

1384
00:53:01,820 --> 00:53:06,540
But he, basically, based on the people who knew him

1385
00:53:06,540 --> 00:53:08,820
and met with him in the games industry and talked with him,

1386
00:53:08,820 --> 00:53:12,860
he seemed to be someone who was just a true delight.

1387
00:53:12,860 --> 00:53:17,860
And so in Destiny 2, there are players,

1388
00:53:18,580 --> 00:53:20,900
like in the hub world, I assume,

1389
00:53:20,900 --> 00:53:22,740
again, I'm not really familiar with it,

1390
00:53:22,740 --> 00:53:25,900
players have been going up to Commander Zavala

1391
00:53:25,900 --> 00:53:27,460
and paying their respects, I assume,

1392
00:53:27,460 --> 00:53:30,160
by just hanging out and doing emotes and stuff like that

1393
00:53:30,160 --> 00:53:32,220
in front of him and everything like that.

1394
00:53:32,220 --> 00:53:34,620
In fact, I'm getting a little choked up talking about it

1395
00:53:34,620 --> 00:53:35,980
because it makes me sad.

1396
00:53:35,980 --> 00:53:39,260
He died, he died very young, very, you know what I'm saying,

1397
00:53:39,260 --> 00:53:40,100
he was 60.

1398
00:53:40,100 --> 00:53:41,380
Before his time, before his time.

1399
00:53:41,380 --> 00:53:42,780
Yeah.

1400
00:53:42,780 --> 00:53:45,620
Yeah, I think that's such a cool way to have that

1401
00:53:45,620 --> 00:53:48,260
video game tribute, so to speak,

1402
00:53:48,260 --> 00:53:51,860
and just kinda shows you how important he was

1403
00:53:51,860 --> 00:53:55,060
to people in games and his voice is so distinct

1404
00:53:55,060 --> 00:53:57,260
and well known and, you know.

1405
00:53:57,260 --> 00:53:59,420
He's so, his voice is so unique,

1406
00:53:59,420 --> 00:54:01,340
the way he articulates everything, yeah, go on, sorry.

1407
00:54:01,340 --> 00:54:02,980
He's always like, are you a bad guy?

1408
00:54:02,980 --> 00:54:04,440
Are you a good guy?

1409
00:54:04,440 --> 00:54:05,940
You're gonna be so good at that, you know what I mean?

1410
00:54:05,940 --> 00:54:06,780
Yeah, you're like, what's your deal?

1411
00:54:06,780 --> 00:54:08,460
Always questioning, always questioning.

1412
00:54:08,460 --> 00:54:09,300
Yeah.

1413
00:54:10,220 --> 00:54:11,580
Very, very sad, I don't know,

1414
00:54:11,580 --> 00:54:15,380
Josh broke the news to me, I had to sit down.

1415
00:54:15,380 --> 00:54:18,340
I was cooking dinner and I was like,

1416
00:54:18,340 --> 00:54:21,340
I'm heartbroken, it was sad.

1417
00:54:21,340 --> 00:54:22,900
Yeah.

1418
00:54:22,900 --> 00:54:24,060
I will miss Lance Reddick.

1419
00:54:24,060 --> 00:54:26,200
I always, every time he showed up in a game

1420
00:54:26,200 --> 00:54:27,060
or in a movie or whatever,

1421
00:54:27,060 --> 00:54:29,460
I was always very excited to see him, so.

1422
00:54:29,460 --> 00:54:32,420
That is a bummer.

1423
00:54:33,620 --> 00:54:36,420
Last of Us, there's been a handful,

1424
00:54:36,420 --> 00:54:38,080
I mean, you know, with the TV show,

1425
00:54:38,080 --> 00:54:39,540
it's been in the news a lot

1426
00:54:39,540 --> 00:54:42,100
and there have been a lot of details

1427
00:54:42,100 --> 00:54:43,980
because people have been like, so where's Last of Us 3?

1428
00:54:43,980 --> 00:54:45,140
Or people have been asking about,

1429
00:54:45,140 --> 00:54:47,240
where's season two and whatever like that.

1430
00:54:48,980 --> 00:54:51,700
Oh hey, also I meant to, I said I would mention this later.

1431
00:54:51,700 --> 00:54:55,620
I saw Nick Offerman, he played guitar for everyone.

1432
00:54:55,620 --> 00:54:57,580
He sang his little songs that he wrote.

1433
00:54:57,580 --> 00:54:59,260
That was so, I didn't mean it like that.

1434
00:54:59,260 --> 00:55:01,500
He played a bunch of songs that were funny.

1435
00:55:01,500 --> 00:55:04,680
And he also played the song from the show.

1436
00:55:05,580 --> 00:55:06,420
What?

1437
00:55:10,260 --> 00:55:13,340
Love will abide, take things in stride.

1438
00:55:13,340 --> 00:55:14,180
Yeah, it was very sweet.

1439
00:55:14,180 --> 00:55:15,260
And he interrupted himself.

1440
00:55:15,260 --> 00:55:16,820
He almost got to the end of it

1441
00:55:16,820 --> 00:55:18,620
and he just stopped and goes,

1442
00:55:18,620 --> 00:55:21,060
so any homophobes in here?

1443
00:55:21,060 --> 00:55:26,060
That's really good.

1444
00:55:26,340 --> 00:55:27,980
And one guy goes, woo.

1445
00:55:27,980 --> 00:55:29,660
And he stops and he sort of looks in that direction

1446
00:55:29,660 --> 00:55:31,660
and goes, well I appreciate your honesty.

1447
00:55:32,580 --> 00:55:33,420
But.

1448
00:55:34,900 --> 00:55:37,060
Wow, okay, I was not expecting that.

1449
00:55:37,060 --> 00:55:37,900
No.

1450
00:55:37,900 --> 00:55:39,860
Thanks for bringing me out of that.

1451
00:55:39,860 --> 00:55:42,580
Yeah, so a handful of things with The Last of Us.

1452
00:55:42,580 --> 00:55:45,340
Let's talk about the game first.

1453
00:55:45,340 --> 00:55:50,020
Apparently, they scrapped an idea

1454
00:55:50,020 --> 00:55:55,020
for a prequel game for Ellie's mom, Anna,

1455
00:55:56,420 --> 00:55:58,500
who we've known about through comics and stuff like that.

1456
00:55:58,500 --> 00:56:01,380
And then we finally saw, portrayed by Ashley Johnson

1457
00:56:01,380 --> 00:56:04,540
in the final episode of the series, of the TV show.

1458
00:56:07,300 --> 00:56:12,300
And basically, this was an interview with Variety.

1459
00:56:12,340 --> 00:56:14,700
Neil Druckmann basically said, he said this,

1460
00:56:14,700 --> 00:56:17,360
there was some stuff written for the mom and dad

1461
00:56:17,360 --> 00:56:19,960
when we were talking to this other game studio

1462
00:56:19,960 --> 00:56:22,100
to potentially do a whole Anna game.

1463
00:56:22,100 --> 00:56:23,620
I'm reluctant to say anything about it

1464
00:56:23,620 --> 00:56:25,460
because as I've now found out several times,

1465
00:56:25,460 --> 00:56:26,940
stories that I think are failures

1466
00:56:26,940 --> 00:56:28,100
and will never see the light of day,

1467
00:56:28,100 --> 00:56:30,220
sometimes see the light of day.

1468
00:56:30,220 --> 00:56:32,900
So he also goes on to say that like.

1469
00:56:32,900 --> 00:56:34,540
He could have just said, we'll see the light.

1470
00:56:34,540 --> 00:56:36,780
He just missed that, missed a quoteable moment.

1471
00:56:36,780 --> 00:56:37,900
He really did.

1472
00:56:37,900 --> 00:56:40,020
And he says, I wrote this short script about Ellie's mom

1473
00:56:40,020 --> 00:56:41,120
and how she gave birth to Ellie

1474
00:56:41,120 --> 00:56:42,380
and was bitten at the same time

1475
00:56:42,380 --> 00:56:44,820
and wasn't sure if she was infected during that birth.

1476
00:56:44,820 --> 00:56:46,420
And this became a little character drama

1477
00:56:46,420 --> 00:56:49,060
that spoke to the same themes of parental love

1478
00:56:49,060 --> 00:56:52,740
for their child and how much they're willing to do

1479
00:56:52,740 --> 00:56:54,620
even when you're on Death's Door.

1480
00:56:54,620 --> 00:56:58,120
So again, never say never about this sort of thing.

1481
00:56:58,120 --> 00:57:01,660
But I think at this point, we've seen it in the show.

1482
00:57:01,660 --> 00:57:04,980
And I don't know, would you want a game about this?

1483
00:57:04,980 --> 00:57:06,420
I wouldn't.

1484
00:57:06,420 --> 00:57:08,740
I don't know if we need a full game about it,

1485
00:57:08,740 --> 00:57:12,060
but I feel like there's so many ways to weave that story

1486
00:57:12,060 --> 00:57:13,860
into a narrative that makes sense.

1487
00:57:13,860 --> 00:57:15,260
We've already played around

1488
00:57:15,260 --> 00:57:16,780
with multiple playable characters

1489
00:57:16,780 --> 00:57:21,600
in both versions of the game, both games in it.

1490
00:57:21,600 --> 00:57:24,660
And I think, I don't know,

1491
00:57:24,660 --> 00:57:26,260
I think it could be interesting

1492
00:57:26,260 --> 00:57:31,260
to tie up part of Ellie's story a little bit

1493
00:57:31,420 --> 00:57:34,980
in a way to find out more about what her mom was like,

1494
00:57:34,980 --> 00:57:37,460
build that character, maybe makes more sense

1495
00:57:37,460 --> 00:57:39,640
about who Ellie is and how she becomes.

1496
00:57:39,640 --> 00:57:40,900
I don't know what their theme is.

1497
00:57:40,900 --> 00:57:42,580
Like, did they ever say what the theme

1498
00:57:42,580 --> 00:57:44,220
of the third game is gonna be?

1499
00:57:44,220 --> 00:57:46,740
Season one's about love, season two's about hate.

1500
00:57:46,740 --> 00:57:48,660
Season three's about indigestion.

1501
00:57:48,660 --> 00:57:50,420
Like, what's that gonna be?

1502
00:57:50,420 --> 00:57:51,540
Yeah, I know what you're saying.

1503
00:57:51,540 --> 00:57:53,300
And they walked that back, too, after the game came out.

1504
00:57:53,300 --> 00:57:55,100
They were like, no, it was just a line.

1505
00:57:56,700 --> 00:58:00,300
Yeah, I think I would probably agree with you.

1506
00:58:00,300 --> 00:58:01,740
I mean, just like off the hip,

1507
00:58:01,740 --> 00:58:02,780
I'm like, no, I don't think we need that.

1508
00:58:02,780 --> 00:58:04,780
But then I think, in hearing you say that,

1509
00:58:04,780 --> 00:58:06,340
yeah, I think it could potentially be kind of cool

1510
00:58:06,340 --> 00:58:07,980
to have the juxtaposition of,

1511
00:58:07,980 --> 00:58:09,140
here's what Ellie's mom went through,

1512
00:58:09,140 --> 00:58:10,540
and here's what Ellie is going through,

1513
00:58:10,540 --> 00:58:11,780
because she's a mom, you know what I mean,

1514
00:58:11,780 --> 00:58:14,180
with JJ and whatever.

1515
00:58:14,180 --> 00:58:16,340
So I think fatherhood was such a strong theme

1516
00:58:16,340 --> 00:58:19,140
of the first one, and in the second one, to some degree.

1517
00:58:19,140 --> 00:58:21,180
But to have motherhood be a theme,

1518
00:58:21,180 --> 00:58:22,020
I think it'd be kind of cool,

1519
00:58:22,020 --> 00:58:23,940
especially because that's just not a theme in video games.

1520
00:58:23,940 --> 00:58:25,220
Moms die in video games.

1521
00:58:25,220 --> 00:58:27,660
That's their role in video games, and that sucks.

1522
00:58:27,660 --> 00:58:29,540
So it'd be kind of cool to have that be

1523
00:58:30,420 --> 00:58:32,340
like an explored theme in a game.

1524
00:58:32,340 --> 00:58:37,220
Do you remember how, in the previews for Last of Us Part II,

1525
00:58:37,220 --> 00:58:38,620
so many people were talking about

1526
00:58:38,620 --> 00:58:41,060
how Abby could have been her mom?

1527
00:58:41,060 --> 00:58:42,500
Like that was one of the common,

1528
00:58:42,500 --> 00:58:44,500
the strands that was coming out.

1529
00:58:44,500 --> 00:58:46,860
So I don't know, I don't think people would have been upset

1530
00:58:46,860 --> 00:58:51,860
with that, so hey, speaking of Abby.

1531
00:58:51,860 --> 00:58:52,700
Yeah.

1532
00:58:55,060 --> 00:58:59,420
Yesterday night, Sunday, March 19th,

1533
00:58:59,420 --> 00:59:01,580
Neil Druckman tweeted, no Last of Us on HBO tonight,

1534
00:59:01,580 --> 00:59:02,780
because obviously the season's over,

1535
00:59:02,780 --> 00:59:04,140
but season two is already on its way,

1536
00:59:04,140 --> 00:59:06,700
Endure and Survive, and tweeted this image of,

1537
00:59:06,700 --> 00:59:08,980
it's just like a hand-drawn, painted kind of thing,

1538
00:59:08,980 --> 00:59:12,540
of a super muscular arm holding a hammer in front

1539
00:59:12,540 --> 00:59:14,860
of a bunch of wrecked stuff in the woods.

1540
00:59:14,860 --> 00:59:18,660
It's obviously very reminiscent of the scene

1541
00:59:18,660 --> 00:59:22,620
where Abby gets the hammer in the woods

1542
00:59:22,620 --> 00:59:24,300
when she meets Yarratt and Lev.

1543
00:59:26,660 --> 00:59:30,660
And I think, who plays Ellie in the show?

1544
00:59:31,740 --> 00:59:35,580
Bella Ramsey said that you shouldn't expect

1545
00:59:35,580 --> 00:59:38,020
Last of Us season two until late 2024,

1546
00:59:38,020 --> 00:59:40,140
early 2025 at the very earliest.

1547
00:59:40,140 --> 00:59:42,660
Hey, I mean, I don't need it right now.

1548
00:59:42,660 --> 00:59:44,020
I can't wait for it though.

1549
00:59:44,940 --> 00:59:47,220
The real question in our household is,

1550
00:59:47,220 --> 00:59:51,300
should I have my wife play the game,

1551
00:59:51,300 --> 00:59:53,500
or watch me play the game?

1552
00:59:53,500 --> 00:59:54,820
The first one or the second one?

1553
00:59:54,820 --> 00:59:55,660
The second one.

1554
00:59:58,620 --> 00:59:59,780
That's actually a very good question.

1555
00:59:59,780 --> 01:00:01,420
I would say yes.

1556
01:00:01,420 --> 01:00:03,660
And I think at the very least,

1557
01:00:03,660 --> 01:00:06,460
there's a really early part that you could get up to

1558
01:00:06,460 --> 01:00:09,780
that would, I think, make it exciting

1559
01:00:09,780 --> 01:00:11,620
about the second season.

1560
01:00:11,620 --> 01:00:12,460
Yep.

1561
01:00:17,980 --> 01:00:19,260
I'm so torn about that.

1562
01:00:19,260 --> 01:00:22,460
To be honest with you, I might not watch

1563
01:00:22,460 --> 01:00:23,860
the second season of the show.

1564
01:00:23,860 --> 01:00:25,220
Dude.

1565
01:00:26,500 --> 01:00:29,900
I'm so, I just don't watch a lot of TV.

1566
01:00:29,900 --> 01:00:31,420
This is the first season of a TV show

1567
01:00:31,420 --> 01:00:34,260
that I've watched in fucking forever.

1568
01:00:34,260 --> 01:00:37,380
That, and I was let down so drastically and whatever,

1569
01:00:37,380 --> 01:00:40,140
and the seeds that it has planted for season two,

1570
01:00:40,140 --> 01:00:42,420
I think have been done so poorly, in my opinion,

1571
01:00:42,420 --> 01:00:44,060
as we talked about in previous episodes,

1572
01:00:44,060 --> 01:00:46,580
that I just might sit it out.

1573
01:00:47,620 --> 01:00:49,820
I don't know, maybe, maybe not.

1574
01:00:49,820 --> 01:00:52,060
It could also be, I don't know,

1575
01:00:52,060 --> 01:00:55,060
I might still watch it out of curiosity and whatever, but.

1576
01:00:57,900 --> 01:00:59,380
You know what I'm saying?

1577
01:00:59,380 --> 01:01:01,420
I feel sad for you that that's your reaction

1578
01:01:01,420 --> 01:01:03,180
to the first season,

1579
01:01:03,180 --> 01:01:05,340
that you don't wanna watch the second season.

1580
01:01:05,340 --> 01:01:06,740
Yeah, I mean, I was pretty let down.

1581
01:01:06,740 --> 01:01:08,660
I think, all in all, I was pretty let down by it.

1582
01:01:08,660 --> 01:01:10,020
I was thinking about it a lot,

1583
01:01:10,020 --> 01:01:13,060
because I really listened to the Linda Rostat song,

1584
01:01:13,060 --> 01:01:14,580
Long, Long Time is what it's called,

1585
01:01:14,580 --> 01:01:18,380
that Bill sings and Fred sings.

1586
01:01:22,660 --> 01:01:24,300
That episode was so good,

1587
01:01:24,300 --> 01:01:27,700
and it had me so hopeful for how they were going to adapt

1588
01:01:27,700 --> 01:01:30,420
the rest of the show, the rest of the game into the show,

1589
01:01:30,420 --> 01:01:31,460
and I think they just,

1590
01:01:31,460 --> 01:01:33,700
I personally just think they really fumbled it

1591
01:01:34,940 --> 01:01:35,940
on a lot of levels,

1592
01:01:35,940 --> 01:01:37,300
but I think on the most important levels

1593
01:01:37,300 --> 01:01:39,300
of the characters of Joel and Ellie.

1594
01:01:40,740 --> 01:01:45,540
So yeah, I don't know, I just might sit it out.

1595
01:01:47,220 --> 01:01:48,060
Who knows, maybe not.

1596
01:01:48,060 --> 01:01:49,300
Well, the good thing is that we don't have to sit

1597
01:01:49,300 --> 01:01:52,300
with both of those characters for very long.

1598
01:01:52,300 --> 01:01:53,340
I guess not, huh?

1599
01:01:54,340 --> 01:01:56,220
I guess, I guess not.

1600
01:01:56,220 --> 01:01:57,460
But okay, here's the thing, though.

1601
01:01:57,460 --> 01:02:00,260
To me, in my cynical brain,

1602
01:02:00,260 --> 01:02:03,020
I think that they would give Joel,

1603
01:02:03,020 --> 01:02:05,820
hey, spoilers for The Last of Us 2, it's three years old.

1604
01:02:07,980 --> 01:02:10,380
I think that they would give Joel a bigger role.

1605
01:02:10,380 --> 01:02:12,140
To me, again, in my cynical brain,

1606
01:02:12,140 --> 01:02:14,380
the way that I view the creation,

1607
01:02:14,380 --> 01:02:16,980
the way that I view the way the creators view

1608
01:02:16,980 --> 01:02:18,660
The Last of Us HBO series,

1609
01:02:18,660 --> 01:02:21,220
I think that they would give Joel a bigger role

1610
01:02:21,220 --> 01:02:23,060
in The Last of Us Part 2,

1611
01:02:23,060 --> 01:02:26,780
because it feels like the show has felt like

1612
01:02:26,780 --> 01:02:31,140
an attempt to correct some of the perceived flaws

1613
01:02:31,140 --> 01:02:32,060
of the game.

1614
01:02:33,620 --> 01:02:35,380
And I think that some people critiqued,

1615
01:02:35,380 --> 01:02:36,740
hey, Joel's not in this very much,

1616
01:02:36,740 --> 01:02:38,820
even though he's in a fair amount of it.

1617
01:02:39,700 --> 01:02:42,820
And I think people didn't like that,

1618
01:02:42,820 --> 01:02:44,780
and I think that they might be inclined

1619
01:02:44,780 --> 01:02:47,380
to change that as a result.

1620
01:02:47,380 --> 01:02:49,100
And I think it'd be worse for it.

1621
01:02:49,100 --> 01:02:51,060
I think, I almost don't know

1622
01:02:51,060 --> 01:02:52,180
if that's what they're gonna do,

1623
01:02:52,180 --> 01:02:56,500
because I feel like even with the first one,

1624
01:02:56,500 --> 01:02:57,580
for all the changes they made,

1625
01:02:57,580 --> 01:02:58,820
they kept the core of the story,

1626
01:02:58,820 --> 01:03:00,700
they kept so many of the shots the same,

1627
01:03:00,700 --> 01:03:02,380
they kept so many of the stuff the same,

1628
01:03:02,380 --> 01:03:05,060
that I don't think they're just going to remake

1629
01:03:08,660 --> 01:03:10,380
the second season.

1630
01:03:10,380 --> 01:03:12,460
They might have to, like,

1631
01:03:12,460 --> 01:03:14,220
because I think part of-

1632
01:03:14,220 --> 01:03:16,180
When you say they kept so much the same,

1633
01:03:16,180 --> 01:03:18,580
that you think that they're not going to do that again?

1634
01:03:20,420 --> 01:03:21,780
You think that they're gonna use,

1635
01:03:21,780 --> 01:03:22,980
be a little bit more adventurous

1636
01:03:22,980 --> 01:03:24,020
with what they do with the second season?

1637
01:03:24,020 --> 01:03:26,020
No, no, no, they're gonna keep that

1638
01:03:26,020 --> 01:03:27,220
for the second season.

1639
01:03:28,740 --> 01:03:31,660
And I think part of the biggest changes,

1640
01:03:32,660 --> 01:03:35,340
minus those intros and outros when they had them,

1641
01:03:35,340 --> 01:03:37,460
was the character portrayals, the actors,

1642
01:03:37,460 --> 01:03:39,180
the way they delivered things,

1643
01:03:39,180 --> 01:03:41,060
the way they were portrayed in there.

1644
01:03:42,140 --> 01:03:44,900
And in terms of actually the craft of it,

1645
01:03:44,900 --> 01:03:46,300
I mean, using that last episode,

1646
01:03:46,300 --> 01:03:47,660
and using so many of the scenes,

1647
01:03:47,660 --> 01:03:50,300
the Pittsburgh, Kansas City car crash,

1648
01:03:50,300 --> 01:03:54,620
the shooting of Marlene at the end

1649
01:03:54,620 --> 01:03:57,580
of the ninth episode,

1650
01:03:58,380 --> 01:04:01,220
like so many of those things were done

1651
01:04:01,220 --> 01:04:03,340
very accurate to the game,

1652
01:04:03,340 --> 01:04:05,460
that I don't think they're just gonna be like,

1653
01:04:05,460 --> 01:04:07,060
well, we're gonna rewrite everything.

1654
01:04:07,060 --> 01:04:09,540
We're gonna totally change how the story is structured,

1655
01:04:09,540 --> 01:04:12,820
because I think part of what makes the sequel

1656
01:04:12,820 --> 01:04:14,660
work narratively,

1657
01:04:14,660 --> 01:04:19,660
is how they cut between present and past,

1658
01:04:20,540 --> 01:04:23,980
in that way, and they tell the story through flashbacks,

1659
01:04:23,980 --> 01:04:26,420
rather than just being a linear story.

1660
01:04:26,420 --> 01:04:29,940
And I feel like that's one of the most affecting moments

1661
01:04:29,940 --> 01:04:30,940
to me, is at the very end,

1662
01:04:30,940 --> 01:04:33,140
the porch scene wasn't expecting that.

1663
01:04:33,140 --> 01:04:35,220
It was what I wanted, I wasn't expecting it,

1664
01:04:35,220 --> 01:04:39,300
and it was both the most satisfying conversation,

1665
01:04:39,300 --> 01:04:42,420
yet the most unsatisfying conversation,

1666
01:04:42,420 --> 01:04:44,660
knowing what happens next.

1667
01:04:44,660 --> 01:04:46,980
But yeah, I don't know, I think,

1668
01:04:46,980 --> 01:04:48,940
yeah, I don't necessarily foresee them

1669
01:04:48,940 --> 01:04:53,660
rewriting problems out of the game.

1670
01:04:56,020 --> 01:04:56,860
I don't know.

1671
01:04:56,860 --> 01:04:58,540
I mean, the show.

1672
01:05:00,220 --> 01:05:03,860
I don't know, obviously, we'll see.

1673
01:05:06,660 --> 01:05:09,100
This season, I think, now that I've sat with it

1674
01:05:09,100 --> 01:05:10,580
and thought more about it,

1675
01:05:10,580 --> 01:05:14,020
and I'm very alone in this opinion of just like,

1676
01:05:14,020 --> 01:05:15,780
complete devastation.

1677
01:05:15,780 --> 01:05:18,860
That makes me so sad that that's how you like it.

1678
01:05:18,860 --> 01:05:21,780
You left it, and I definitely think there's the argument,

1679
01:05:21,780 --> 01:05:23,340
which one is better, which part is better,

1680
01:05:23,340 --> 01:05:25,620
what things do you like better in it.

1681
01:05:25,620 --> 01:05:28,860
And yeah, I think very well,

1682
01:05:28,860 --> 01:05:31,380
many people come away saying the game is better,

1683
01:05:31,380 --> 01:05:35,700
but I'm sorry that you didn't, you left

1684
01:05:35,700 --> 01:05:37,980
with not even wanting to see the next season.

1685
01:05:37,980 --> 01:05:40,140
I was expecting to walk away being like,

1686
01:05:40,140 --> 01:05:42,460
oh, the game is better, but that's probably just because

1687
01:05:42,460 --> 01:05:44,660
I played it first and I really liked the games.

1688
01:05:44,660 --> 01:05:46,060
And I walked away being like,

1689
01:05:46,060 --> 01:05:48,580
the game is better because the TV show is bad.

1690
01:05:48,580 --> 01:05:49,420
Do you know what I mean?

1691
01:05:49,420 --> 01:05:51,060
Like, and that's so disappointing to me

1692
01:05:51,060 --> 01:05:52,500
because I was so excited and whatever.

1693
01:05:52,500 --> 01:05:53,500
And you know, hey, whatever,

1694
01:05:53,500 --> 01:05:55,340
like sometimes you get disappointed with stuff,

1695
01:05:55,340 --> 01:06:00,340
but that is just my opinion.

1696
01:06:00,660 --> 01:06:02,100
One last thing here in the news,

1697
01:06:02,100 --> 01:06:02,940
this is kind of interesting.

1698
01:06:02,940 --> 01:06:03,760
Did you see this?

1699
01:06:03,760 --> 01:06:08,300
Apparently, according to some guy on Twitter

1700
01:06:08,300 --> 01:06:13,300
who posted some snippets from a LinkedIn profile,

1701
01:06:13,300 --> 01:06:18,300
apparently, Forspoken might have cost

1702
01:06:21,860 --> 01:06:23,820
over a hundred million dollars to make.

1703
01:06:23,820 --> 01:06:28,220
So basically the information comes from, like I said,

1704
01:06:28,220 --> 01:06:32,740
a LinkedIn profile for Alyssa Reimer, who, let's see,

1705
01:06:32,740 --> 01:06:35,380
was the lead writer of Forspoken.

1706
01:06:35,380 --> 01:06:37,420
And let's see where it is.

1707
01:06:37,420 --> 01:06:42,420
Oh yeah, basically in her, like, I don't use LinkedIn very

1708
01:06:48,260 --> 01:06:49,380
frequently, so I'm like having a hard time

1709
01:06:49,380 --> 01:06:50,220
like coming up with words.

1710
01:06:50,220 --> 01:06:52,180
So like, when you like say like, oh, I did this job

1711
01:06:52,180 --> 01:06:53,580
and you list like what you did for it,

1712
01:06:53,580 --> 01:06:54,700
you know what I'm saying?

1713
01:06:54,700 --> 01:06:57,860
In that, it says this, wrote the Bible script

1714
01:06:57,860 --> 01:07:00,860
and downloadable content for a fantasy triple A video game

1715
01:07:00,860 --> 01:07:03,980
parentheses, $100 million plus budget

1716
01:07:03,980 --> 01:07:07,660
with release date set for fall 2022.

1717
01:07:07,660 --> 01:07:12,660
And then in her like about section,

1718
01:07:13,020 --> 01:07:17,300
it also mentions that price.

1719
01:07:17,300 --> 01:07:20,180
It says she spearheaded the story behind Forspoken,

1720
01:07:20,180 --> 01:07:24,580
which cost over $100 million to make, which is a lot.

1721
01:07:24,580 --> 01:07:26,660
Like that is a significant amount of money,

1722
01:07:26,660 --> 01:07:29,260
especially for a game that I think flopped pretty hard

1723
01:07:29,260 --> 01:07:30,780
in terms of sales, right?

1724
01:07:30,780 --> 01:07:34,260
Yes, I'm not surprised though,

1725
01:07:34,260 --> 01:07:37,180
because when you have a big company that has money

1726
01:07:37,180 --> 01:07:42,180
and a game is just a game, how do you solve your problems?

1727
01:07:42,900 --> 01:07:44,660
Just throw money at it.

1728
01:07:44,660 --> 01:07:46,900
And you can fix problems that way, allegedly.

1729
01:07:46,900 --> 01:07:48,260
That doesn't mean the game's good,

1730
01:07:48,260 --> 01:07:50,060
just because you can throw money at something

1731
01:07:50,060 --> 01:07:51,460
doesn't mean it's always gonna be better.

1732
01:07:51,460 --> 01:07:54,580
I mean, baseball reference, the New York Yankees

1733
01:07:54,580 --> 01:07:56,300
don't win the World Series every year

1734
01:07:56,300 --> 01:07:57,980
and they spend a lot of money.

1735
01:07:57,980 --> 01:07:59,220
They have a lot of money, okay.

1736
01:07:59,220 --> 01:08:02,980
And just because you use money to solve your problems

1737
01:08:02,980 --> 01:08:04,420
doesn't mean you're allocating your resources

1738
01:08:04,420 --> 01:08:06,540
effectively, efficiently, all that kind of stuff.

1739
01:08:06,540 --> 01:08:09,660
I mean, bringing how many writers for this game?

1740
01:08:09,660 --> 01:08:12,100
Clearly, and the story was bad.

1741
01:08:13,460 --> 01:08:15,300
Yeah, it's interesting too.

1742
01:08:16,340 --> 01:08:19,360
I will say while this budget does seem like a lot

1743
01:08:19,360 --> 01:08:22,900
for something that was so,

1744
01:08:22,900 --> 01:08:24,580
if I said that compromised, does that make sense?

1745
01:08:24,580 --> 01:08:26,300
I'm not trying to be negative about the game necessarily,

1746
01:08:26,300 --> 01:08:28,460
but that does sound like a lot of money.

1747
01:08:28,460 --> 01:08:31,380
I will say that, I don't know,

1748
01:08:31,380 --> 01:08:33,060
I think the money's on display.

1749
01:08:33,060 --> 01:08:35,540
I think the issue really was with the writing

1750
01:08:35,540 --> 01:08:39,060
and then with some of the world design.

1751
01:08:39,060 --> 01:08:41,180
But I wouldn't say that it felt cheap.

1752
01:08:41,180 --> 01:08:43,860
It wasn't a really buggy game or anything like that.

1753
01:08:45,180 --> 01:08:47,980
The combat was cool and flashy and I don't know.

1754
01:08:47,980 --> 01:08:50,500
I guess it's always tough to know where money goes,

1755
01:08:50,500 --> 01:08:52,020
especially with a video game, you know what I mean?

1756
01:08:52,020 --> 01:08:54,820
Because there's just so many different aspects to it.

1757
01:08:54,820 --> 01:08:59,820
But I would never say that it feels like a cheap game.

1758
01:09:00,100 --> 01:09:02,820
I would say it doesn't feel like a great, well-written game

1759
01:09:02,820 --> 01:09:05,620
or super well-designed game at times, right?

1760
01:09:05,620 --> 01:09:08,180
But does that make sense?

1761
01:09:08,180 --> 01:09:10,540
Yeah, there's a scene in The Shawshank Redemption

1762
01:09:10,540 --> 01:09:12,260
when Andy's in the hospital

1763
01:09:12,260 --> 01:09:14,020
and they're trying to make him feel good for it

1764
01:09:14,020 --> 01:09:17,680
by searching for these certain rocks.

1765
01:09:17,680 --> 01:09:20,520
He wants to make a chess set out of these rocks.

1766
01:09:20,520 --> 01:09:23,380
So they're all out in the field gathering rocks

1767
01:09:23,380 --> 01:09:25,100
and one of the guys finds a rock.

1768
01:09:25,100 --> 01:09:26,540
He's like, look, I found one.

1769
01:09:26,540 --> 01:09:30,700
And they're like, that's actually just petrified horse poop.

1770
01:09:31,940 --> 01:09:35,420
So a game can look good.

1771
01:09:35,420 --> 01:09:36,260
Sure, that's very fair.

1772
01:09:36,260 --> 01:09:37,180
Can feel good.

1773
01:09:37,180 --> 01:09:39,100
But then you just push it and it's like,

1774
01:09:39,100 --> 01:09:41,060
ooh, actually, that's just horse poop.

1775
01:09:41,060 --> 01:09:44,340
So, Forspoken, I just made a Shawshank Redemption

1776
01:09:44,340 --> 01:09:46,240
horse poop connection to you.

1777
01:09:46,240 --> 01:09:47,160
Don't know if that's the best thing,

1778
01:09:47,160 --> 01:09:48,520
but I do love Shawshank Redemption,

1779
01:09:48,520 --> 01:09:50,280
so maybe it is a good thing for you.

1780
01:09:50,280 --> 01:09:52,020
I'll say this about Forspoken.

1781
01:09:52,020 --> 01:09:53,340
It's not a good game,

1782
01:09:54,540 --> 01:09:57,740
but it got torn apart on the internet

1783
01:09:57,740 --> 01:10:01,900
for things that I thought were inconsequential.

1784
01:10:01,900 --> 01:10:03,420
Yeah, people were like, oh, it's so cringey.

1785
01:10:03,420 --> 01:10:05,220
I'm like, yeah, I don't really care about that.

1786
01:10:05,220 --> 01:10:06,540
You're more than just not written well.

1787
01:10:06,540 --> 01:10:09,820
Everyone's sitting here loving this Resident Evil 4 remake.

1788
01:10:09,820 --> 01:10:14,820
Yeah, but hey, intent and tone,

1789
01:10:14,860 --> 01:10:16,620
those are important in our thing.

1790
01:10:18,420 --> 01:10:19,260
Yeah, I don't know.

1791
01:10:19,260 --> 01:10:24,100
This, while yes, it is a lot of money,

1792
01:10:24,100 --> 01:10:29,100
I think especially it is so tough because of it is,

1793
01:10:30,020 --> 01:10:32,340
because of how little it's sold.

1794
01:10:33,560 --> 01:10:38,080
I don't think that we got specific numbers or maybe,

1795
01:10:38,080 --> 01:10:41,700
but it was defined as lackluster sales,

1796
01:10:41,700 --> 01:10:44,400
which I would also probably understand.

1797
01:10:45,980 --> 01:10:48,100
I think it got a lot of bad press online,

1798
01:10:48,100 --> 01:10:49,260
you know what I mean?

1799
01:10:49,260 --> 01:10:50,740
Just based on those clips that, again,

1800
01:10:50,740 --> 01:10:53,740
we're taken out of context, although with context,

1801
01:10:53,740 --> 01:10:55,460
it still doesn't necessarily make people,

1802
01:10:55,460 --> 01:10:57,820
isn't gonna make people super interested in a,

1803
01:10:59,140 --> 01:11:01,620
if they're not interested in the writing in those clips,

1804
01:11:01,620 --> 01:11:03,420
that is in there, you know what I mean?

1805
01:11:03,420 --> 01:11:04,860
Yeah.

1806
01:11:04,860 --> 01:11:07,340
And I also think, and this is just a hurdle

1807
01:11:07,340 --> 01:11:12,340
that we as a world need to get over.

1808
01:11:12,600 --> 01:11:17,340
I think anytime that you put a black woman

1809
01:11:17,340 --> 01:11:18,580
in the lead of your game,

1810
01:11:18,580 --> 01:11:23,260
I think you're gonna run into some pushback from people,

1811
01:11:23,260 --> 01:11:24,780
not deserved pushback, right?

1812
01:11:24,780 --> 01:11:26,460
It's like shitty pushback,

1813
01:11:26,460 --> 01:11:31,460
but I think that that is still going to impact sales.

1814
01:11:32,660 --> 01:11:34,140
And it's shitty and it sucks.

1815
01:11:34,140 --> 01:11:36,440
And I'm not saying that they need to stop doing that.

1816
01:11:36,440 --> 01:11:38,860
In fact, I would say that what you need to do

1817
01:11:38,860 --> 01:11:41,580
is continue doing that so that people

1818
01:11:41,580 --> 01:11:44,560
can fucking get over it, you know, or die.

1819
01:11:44,560 --> 01:11:48,880
But I think that also is,

1820
01:11:48,880 --> 01:11:53,000
I think it is a cocktail of tricky stuff with Forespoken

1821
01:11:53,000 --> 01:11:55,240
in terms of its sales, if that makes sense.

1822
01:11:55,240 --> 01:11:58,040
Yep, there's sometimes very little difference

1823
01:11:58,040 --> 01:12:03,040
between a five out of 10 and a seven out of 10.

1824
01:12:03,960 --> 01:12:04,800
You know what I mean?

1825
01:12:04,800 --> 01:12:07,040
Like, it's just, and I think more people lean

1826
01:12:07,040 --> 01:12:09,280
towards the five out of 10 angle on this one

1827
01:12:09,280 --> 01:12:11,360
and just found reasons to hate it when,

1828
01:12:11,360 --> 01:12:12,880
most games you can find reasons to hate

1829
01:12:12,880 --> 01:12:14,600
if you really look into them.

1830
01:12:14,600 --> 01:12:16,480
Right, it's a similar thing.

1831
01:12:16,480 --> 01:12:18,500
To my understanding, I didn't play it,

1832
01:12:18,500 --> 01:12:20,800
but this seems like it was on the same level

1833
01:12:20,800 --> 01:12:25,160
as like Atomic Heart in terms of being like,

1834
01:12:25,160 --> 01:12:28,640
okay, in every area, you know what I mean?

1835
01:12:28,640 --> 01:12:29,880
But people seem to think Atomic Heart

1836
01:12:29,880 --> 01:12:32,040
is better okay than Forespoken.

1837
01:12:32,040 --> 01:12:32,880
By the way. Exactly.

1838
01:12:32,880 --> 01:12:35,060
But that game was not turned apart.

1839
01:12:35,060 --> 01:12:35,900
Did you play it?

1840
01:12:35,900 --> 01:12:36,720
No, I downloaded it.

1841
01:12:36,720 --> 01:12:38,960
It's my next thing, my next step.

1842
01:12:40,320 --> 01:12:42,040
But yeah, you know what I'm saying?

1843
01:12:42,040 --> 01:12:43,680
People fucking tore this game apart

1844
01:12:43,680 --> 01:12:45,480
where you've got some Atomic Heart

1845
01:12:45,480 --> 01:12:48,320
that just like seemed to be about as bad,

1846
01:12:48,320 --> 01:12:51,040
but just for whatever reason, and by whatever reason,

1847
01:12:51,040 --> 01:12:52,880
I mean all the reasons we talked about.

1848
01:12:52,880 --> 01:12:55,260
For all these reasons and more.

1849
01:12:55,260 --> 01:12:57,840
Yeah, it just didn't catch the ire

1850
01:12:57,840 --> 01:12:59,380
of the internet very much.

1851
01:13:01,560 --> 01:13:03,760
That's all I've got for the news.

1852
01:13:03,760 --> 01:13:06,720
Justin, I've been playing Hi-Fi Rush.

1853
01:13:06,720 --> 01:13:07,560
Oh. And I know we've talked

1854
01:13:07,560 --> 01:13:11,120
about it a lot on our show here.

1855
01:13:11,120 --> 01:13:12,840
But damn, it is so good.

1856
01:13:12,840 --> 01:13:14,160
It is really, really good.

1857
01:13:14,160 --> 01:13:15,240
I've been savoring it.

1858
01:13:15,240 --> 01:13:17,800
I just got to the eighth mission.

1859
01:13:19,160 --> 01:13:20,440
And it's just one of those games

1860
01:13:20,440 --> 01:13:23,200
that's just so full of creativity and ideas.

1861
01:13:23,200 --> 01:13:28,200
I think it's so snappy in its writing and stuff.

1862
01:13:28,360 --> 01:13:31,880
And I think it is also kind of an oddity

1863
01:13:31,880 --> 01:13:34,280
in the gaming space in that it is a video game

1864
01:13:34,280 --> 01:13:35,720
that I think is very funny.

1865
01:13:37,720 --> 01:13:39,680
I think the comedy really lands.

1866
01:13:39,680 --> 01:13:41,240
The characters are great, the writing is great.

1867
01:13:41,240 --> 01:13:43,320
And it's not just cheap laughs.

1868
01:13:43,320 --> 01:13:46,520
I think they really build to some of these laughs and stuff.

1869
01:13:46,520 --> 01:13:47,960
Did you get to the canon part?

1870
01:13:49,160 --> 01:13:50,000
Canon part? You would know.

1871
01:13:50,000 --> 01:13:51,400
I don't think so. Okay, no.

1872
01:13:51,400 --> 01:13:53,200
But it's like the whole game,

1873
01:13:53,200 --> 01:13:57,320
they set up this kind of trope of planning the mission.

1874
01:13:57,320 --> 01:13:59,340
And then for this one mission,

1875
01:14:00,400 --> 01:14:02,840
they kind of chies, I got this.

1876
01:14:02,840 --> 01:14:04,640
And they're like, oh, fuck.

1877
01:14:04,640 --> 01:14:06,360
And the way they had set the whole thing up

1878
01:14:06,360 --> 01:14:07,360
is just really funny.

1879
01:14:07,360 --> 01:14:09,240
But it's like one of the,

1880
01:14:09,240 --> 01:14:12,400
there's just so many good things about it that,

1881
01:14:12,400 --> 01:14:15,120
you're right, it is an oddity from it being humor,

1882
01:14:15,120 --> 01:14:19,360
from it being a new-ish genre that I haven't played before.

1883
01:14:21,760 --> 01:14:22,960
There's just so many things about it

1884
01:14:22,960 --> 01:14:26,560
that I still, I cannot get that game out of my head.

1885
01:14:26,560 --> 01:14:28,360
The beat, it's in my head.

1886
01:14:28,360 --> 01:14:29,880
But I just can't get it out of my head.

1887
01:14:29,880 --> 01:14:32,080
And I like it a lot.

1888
01:14:32,080 --> 01:14:34,080
I wish the story landed better.

1889
01:14:34,080 --> 01:14:36,080
It stuck its landing a little bit better.

1890
01:14:36,080 --> 01:14:36,920
Oh, really?

1891
01:14:36,920 --> 01:14:39,960
But this might be,

1892
01:14:39,960 --> 01:14:41,400
I'm thinking more of an anime trope here.

1893
01:14:41,400 --> 01:14:43,320
So hopefully this isn't a spoiler.

1894
01:14:43,320 --> 01:14:45,480
Do you know how they get through it at the end?

1895
01:14:48,960 --> 01:14:52,800
No, but based on what you just said, I can maybe guess.

1896
01:14:52,800 --> 01:14:53,640
What is your guess?

1897
01:14:53,640 --> 01:14:55,160
What is your guess?

1898
01:14:55,160 --> 01:14:59,480
Okay, I guess like spoilers for my guesses of Hi-Fi Rush

1899
01:14:59,480 --> 01:15:00,600
and if I'm right or not.

1900
01:15:00,600 --> 01:15:02,440
It sounds like a power of friendship kind of thing.

1901
01:15:02,440 --> 01:15:03,920
Yeah, it's a power of friendship.

1902
01:15:03,920 --> 01:15:05,480
It leads everyone together.

1903
01:15:05,480 --> 01:15:07,640
It makes everything good, power of friendship.

1904
01:15:07,640 --> 01:15:08,480
Power of friendship.

1905
01:15:08,480 --> 01:15:09,320
I like that.

1906
01:15:09,320 --> 01:15:10,160
I like that.

1907
01:15:10,160 --> 01:15:12,960
I liked it in Scarlet Nexus.

1908
01:15:12,960 --> 01:15:15,000
Remember when that game, at the very end is like,

1909
01:15:15,000 --> 01:15:16,680
we're just gonna win by being friends.

1910
01:15:16,680 --> 01:15:18,600
It's like, yeah.

1911
01:15:18,600 --> 01:15:20,120
Also, hey, that was a good game.

1912
01:15:20,120 --> 01:15:20,960
I enjoyed Scarlet Nexus.

1913
01:15:20,960 --> 01:15:22,200
The soundtrack is still banging in my head.

1914
01:15:22,200 --> 01:15:23,040
It was great.

1915
01:15:23,040 --> 01:15:23,880
It was great.

1916
01:15:23,880 --> 01:15:28,280
I liked the style of it, like the actual art direction.

1917
01:15:28,280 --> 01:15:29,840
And same thing with this too.

1918
01:15:29,840 --> 01:15:32,400
It's interesting in playing this,

1919
01:15:33,360 --> 01:15:34,200
not to be that guy who's like,

1920
01:15:34,200 --> 01:15:36,280
this kind of reminds me of Persona 5,

1921
01:15:36,280 --> 01:15:38,360
but like kind of reminds me of Persona 5

1922
01:15:38,360 --> 01:15:42,160
in the sense that like it is so,

1923
01:15:42,160 --> 01:15:47,240
it leans so heavily into its artistic style, you know?

1924
01:15:47,240 --> 01:15:52,240
And just being like stylish in every aspect.

1925
01:15:52,240 --> 01:15:54,160
And yeah, you know, you can make the comparisons of like,

1926
01:15:54,160 --> 01:15:56,120
oh, well, does that kind of visual novel thing too,

1927
01:15:56,120 --> 01:15:57,480
where the characters, you know,

1928
01:15:57,480 --> 01:16:00,800
like show up on screen with text boxes and whatever.

1929
01:16:00,800 --> 01:16:05,040
But I think like on a less superficial level,

1930
01:16:05,040 --> 01:16:08,360
I think that there is a lot of shared DNA of just like,

1931
01:16:08,360 --> 01:16:10,840
this is a game that knows what it's going for

1932
01:16:10,840 --> 01:16:14,360
in terms of its style, both artistically

1933
01:16:14,360 --> 01:16:17,880
and sonically and all that sort of stuff.

1934
01:16:19,120 --> 01:16:20,520
And I think it's just,

1935
01:16:20,520 --> 01:16:21,760
like I think I'm in love with this game,

1936
01:16:21,760 --> 01:16:22,600
is what I'm trying to say.

1937
01:16:22,600 --> 01:16:23,960
And I'm trying to say for it,

1938
01:16:24,880 --> 01:16:27,360
although I might want to have it beaten for Resident Evil 4.

1939
01:16:27,360 --> 01:16:31,920
But I think I'm in love with Hi-Fi Rush.

1940
01:16:31,920 --> 01:16:35,680
I think it might be my favorite of the year so far.

1941
01:16:35,680 --> 01:16:40,280
I think my favorite of the year was playing Resident Evil

1942
01:16:40,280 --> 01:16:42,840
for the original one last week.

1943
01:16:42,840 --> 01:16:44,600
Yeah, did you finish it this week?

1944
01:16:44,600 --> 01:16:46,120
I just couldn't stop playing it.

1945
01:16:46,120 --> 01:16:47,680
I know, you love it so much.

1946
01:16:47,680 --> 01:16:49,160
Everything about it.

1947
01:16:49,160 --> 01:16:50,720
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

1948
01:16:52,240 --> 01:16:55,440
Yeah, I just, I've been really enamored with it.

1949
01:16:55,440 --> 01:16:57,760
And something I think maybe is worth talking about

1950
01:16:57,760 --> 01:16:59,400
in like a bonus episode or something like that

1951
01:16:59,400 --> 01:17:01,800
for our lovely Patreon producers.

1952
01:17:01,800 --> 01:17:03,360
But it's interesting.

1953
01:17:03,360 --> 01:17:04,960
We sort of mentioned this at the top of the show

1954
01:17:04,960 --> 01:17:07,560
when we were talking about Resident Evil 4 remake

1955
01:17:07,560 --> 01:17:09,000
in like its score.

1956
01:17:10,440 --> 01:17:13,760
Metroid Prime Remastered scored extraordinarily well.

1957
01:17:13,760 --> 01:17:17,640
Resident Evil 4 remake scored extremely well.

1958
01:17:17,640 --> 01:17:19,960
Dead Space remake scored extremely well.

1959
01:17:19,960 --> 01:17:24,320
So far, those are like the highest scoring games

1960
01:17:24,320 --> 01:17:25,160
of the year.

1961
01:17:25,160 --> 01:17:27,040
But they're all remakes and remasters.

1962
01:17:27,040 --> 01:17:29,600
And I'm not trying to be that guy who's like,

1963
01:17:29,600 --> 01:17:31,880
what, can they get new ideas?

1964
01:17:31,880 --> 01:17:33,600
But I think it is worth pointing out to be like,

1965
01:17:33,600 --> 01:17:35,560
oh, that is kind of interesting, don't you think?

1966
01:17:35,560 --> 01:17:38,920
And for me, Hi-Fi Rush is the first thing of the year

1967
01:17:38,920 --> 01:17:40,600
that has been really truly standout

1968
01:17:40,600 --> 01:17:42,400
that isn't a remake or remaster.

1969
01:17:43,960 --> 01:17:46,200
And I think maybe the only thing so far for me

1970
01:17:46,200 --> 01:17:49,240
that's been like truly exceptional and exciting.

1971
01:17:50,560 --> 01:17:52,640
That isn't Dead Space remake.

1972
01:17:52,640 --> 01:17:53,920
That isn't from something from that.

1973
01:17:53,920 --> 01:17:57,880
We just unlocked a hippogriff in Hogwarts Legacy.

1974
01:17:57,880 --> 01:17:59,440
Yeah, is that exciting?

1975
01:18:01,320 --> 01:18:04,280
It was actually, to be honest, a pretty cool story moment.

1976
01:18:05,640 --> 01:18:07,760
But then the game is just the game.

1977
01:18:09,080 --> 01:18:10,760
Does it get any different?

1978
01:18:10,760 --> 01:18:11,880
Because I know we talked about it

1979
01:18:11,880 --> 01:18:13,520
when you first started playing it,

1980
01:18:13,520 --> 01:18:17,720
but in terms of being in interesting open world,

1981
01:18:17,720 --> 01:18:20,360
does that stuff that's outside of the actual Hogwarts castle

1982
01:18:20,360 --> 01:18:21,200
get any more interesting

1983
01:18:21,200 --> 01:18:23,880
or does it just sort of stay kind of generic?

1984
01:18:25,120 --> 01:18:29,200
Okay, so one of the coolest thing is the world in the game.

1985
01:18:29,200 --> 01:18:31,920
But as I'm playing the game, the easiest comparison

1986
01:18:31,920 --> 01:18:34,720
I saw people make this comparison is to The Witcher.

1987
01:18:34,720 --> 01:18:35,640
And I hate to say this.

1988
01:18:35,640 --> 01:18:37,320
Yeah, you hate The Witcher though.

1989
01:18:37,320 --> 01:18:38,560
Do I?

1990
01:18:38,560 --> 01:18:39,400
You said you did.

1991
01:18:39,400 --> 01:18:40,840
I mean, I beat it.

1992
01:18:40,840 --> 01:18:42,360
You beat The Witcher 3?

1993
01:18:42,360 --> 01:18:45,080
Yeah, in all the DLCs.

1994
01:18:45,080 --> 01:18:45,920
What?

1995
01:18:45,920 --> 01:18:46,920
We never talked about this?

1996
01:18:46,920 --> 01:18:48,040
Who are you?

1997
01:18:48,040 --> 01:18:52,320
I thought you hated it.

1998
01:18:52,320 --> 01:18:54,160
Oh boy, it's complicated, man.

1999
01:18:54,160 --> 01:18:55,080
Okay, sure.

2000
01:18:55,080 --> 01:18:57,240
But maybe I caught you on a day

2001
01:18:57,240 --> 01:18:59,720
when you were feeling a little like, meh about it.

2002
01:18:59,720 --> 01:19:00,560
But that's all right, go on.

2003
01:19:00,560 --> 01:19:02,360
But anyway, I keep playing and say,

2004
01:19:02,360 --> 01:19:04,080
I'd rather play The Witcher again.

2005
01:19:05,160 --> 01:19:06,080
Oh really, okay.

2006
01:19:06,080 --> 01:19:08,920
So wow, I guess that's sort of an...

2007
01:19:08,920 --> 01:19:10,080
But it's a loaded question

2008
01:19:10,080 --> 01:19:12,000
because I didn't hate The Witcher.

2009
01:19:12,000 --> 01:19:13,040
I liked a lot about it.

2010
01:19:13,040 --> 01:19:18,000
But yeah, I probably put like 85, 90 hours into that game.

2011
01:19:18,000 --> 01:19:19,920
I had no idea.

2012
01:19:19,920 --> 01:19:22,000
Who is it that hates The Witcher that I know?

2013
01:19:22,000 --> 01:19:22,840
Probably me.

2014
01:19:22,840 --> 01:19:24,640
That I talk to frequently on a podcast.

2015
01:19:24,640 --> 01:19:25,880
Probably me, I mean.

2016
01:19:25,880 --> 01:19:26,720
Maybe it's just you.

2017
01:19:26,720 --> 01:19:27,880
It's probably just me.

2018
01:19:29,680 --> 01:19:31,040
Did you ever hate play something

2019
01:19:31,040 --> 01:19:32,480
until you started playing it enough

2020
01:19:32,480 --> 01:19:33,320
to actually kind of like it?

2021
01:19:33,320 --> 01:19:35,240
Oh yeah, yeah, totally.

2022
01:19:35,240 --> 01:19:36,720
You got that turnaround moment that you're like,

2023
01:19:36,720 --> 01:19:38,000
oh actually, this isn't that bad.

2024
01:19:38,000 --> 01:19:40,240
I feel like I don't get to the turnaround very often.

2025
01:19:40,240 --> 01:19:41,080
I mean, I'm thinking of like,

2026
01:19:41,080 --> 01:19:43,120
I used to play a lot of, like when I was in high school,

2027
01:19:43,120 --> 01:19:45,760
I would go to GameStop or like,

2028
01:19:45,760 --> 01:19:46,960
Toys R Us when that existed.

2029
01:19:46,960 --> 01:19:50,040
And they would have like the $5 like bargain games.

2030
01:19:50,040 --> 01:19:52,200
And it was just shit in there.

2031
01:19:52,200 --> 01:19:56,520
And like, I loved, I like, I think this is maybe,

2032
01:19:57,640 --> 01:19:59,640
maybe comes through in our show.

2033
01:19:59,640 --> 01:20:01,600
In that like, we've been thinking and talking

2034
01:20:01,600 --> 01:20:03,200
about video games for a very long time.

2035
01:20:03,200 --> 01:20:04,040
You know what I mean?

2036
01:20:04,040 --> 01:20:05,480
Like, and like kind of like picking apart

2037
01:20:05,480 --> 01:20:07,040
like what makes them good and whatever.

2038
01:20:07,040 --> 01:20:09,800
I really got a lot out of playing bad games

2039
01:20:09,800 --> 01:20:11,960
because I would really find it interesting

2040
01:20:11,960 --> 01:20:13,760
about like what makes them so bad.

2041
01:20:13,760 --> 01:20:15,000
You know, so like for example,

2042
01:20:15,000 --> 01:20:18,080
I played a lot of Duke Nukem Forever.

2043
01:20:18,080 --> 01:20:19,880
Just to be like, what, like how did this happen?

2044
01:20:19,880 --> 01:20:22,200
You know, like what makes this so unfun?

2045
01:20:22,200 --> 01:20:23,880
Like I could talk all day about that.

2046
01:20:23,880 --> 01:20:26,680
Or like Aliens, Colonial Marines,

2047
01:20:26,680 --> 01:20:27,560
if you remember that one.

2048
01:20:27,560 --> 01:20:29,160
Like it's just like a piece of trash.

2049
01:20:29,160 --> 01:20:30,880
But like, why?

2050
01:20:30,880 --> 01:20:31,760
How did this happen?

2051
01:20:31,760 --> 01:20:32,840
What would have made this better?

2052
01:20:32,840 --> 01:20:34,040
You know, that sort of stuff.

2053
01:20:34,040 --> 01:20:35,520
Yeah.

2054
01:20:35,520 --> 01:20:36,960
I thought for a second,

2055
01:20:36,960 --> 01:20:39,160
like you were gonna end the episode again,

2056
01:20:39,160 --> 01:20:40,640
just shitting on Horizon.

2057
01:20:40,640 --> 01:20:43,200
Horizon Forbidden West, yeah.

2058
01:20:43,200 --> 01:20:44,280
I was like waiting for it.

2059
01:20:44,280 --> 01:20:46,080
Like your face the whole time was like.

2060
01:20:46,080 --> 01:20:46,920
Oh.

2061
01:20:46,920 --> 01:20:48,320
Yeah, just run for Forbidden West.

2062
01:20:48,320 --> 01:20:51,200
I mean, it's like, you know,

2063
01:20:51,200 --> 01:20:52,920
I had this realization recently

2064
01:20:52,920 --> 01:20:56,120
and similar to other things you talked about in this episode,

2065
01:20:56,120 --> 01:20:58,440
like this is not a formated full opinion yet.

2066
01:20:58,440 --> 01:21:01,480
Like I've not really like hashed this one out entirely yet.

2067
01:21:01,480 --> 01:21:06,000
But like, I think I tend to like games

2068
01:21:06,000 --> 01:21:08,640
in the same way that I like restaurants.

2069
01:21:08,640 --> 01:21:13,280
Where I like a restaurant that knows what you came for.

2070
01:21:13,280 --> 01:21:16,960
You know, does just a few things.

2071
01:21:16,960 --> 01:21:18,640
Like its menu is very limited,

2072
01:21:18,640 --> 01:21:21,280
but it's like, we just do this one burger

2073
01:21:21,280 --> 01:21:22,400
and this burger is perfect

2074
01:21:22,400 --> 01:21:24,520
and we're gonna make it for you this way.

2075
01:21:24,520 --> 01:21:26,720
That's your high-five rush, right?

2076
01:21:26,720 --> 01:21:30,040
But then I enjoy going to restaurants,

2077
01:21:30,040 --> 01:21:32,600
like diners where like the menu is like eight pages long

2078
01:21:32,600 --> 01:21:34,360
and it's just like super small text.

2079
01:21:34,360 --> 01:21:35,720
It's basically they hand you the Bible, right?

2080
01:21:35,720 --> 01:21:36,960
And they're like, pick something out of here.

2081
01:21:36,960 --> 01:21:38,560
And you look and they're like,

2082
01:21:38,560 --> 01:21:41,240
yo, you guys do tuna?

2083
01:21:41,240 --> 01:21:46,240
Like I don't think anyone should order your tuna, you know?

2084
01:21:47,160 --> 01:21:49,400
And that's like a horizon sort of thing.

2085
01:21:49,400 --> 01:21:50,800
And I just don't like going,

2086
01:21:50,800 --> 01:21:53,200
it's like horizon for me is like Chili's.

2087
01:21:53,200 --> 01:21:56,680
Like I've been, my friends really like Chili's.

2088
01:21:56,680 --> 01:21:58,400
But every time I go away from Chili's,

2089
01:21:58,400 --> 01:21:59,600
I order something new and I go,

2090
01:21:59,600 --> 01:22:01,600
I don't like that at all.

2091
01:22:01,600 --> 01:22:04,600
I love their skillet queso, like that is.

2092
01:22:04,600 --> 01:22:05,520
Okay, that sounds pretty good.

2093
01:22:05,520 --> 01:22:07,200
I've heard their salsa is also pretty good.

2094
01:22:07,200 --> 01:22:09,800
Yeah, and their chips are salt held together

2095
01:22:09,800 --> 01:22:11,160
by some flour.

2096
01:22:11,160 --> 01:22:12,440
Yeah, so there you go, right?

2097
01:22:12,440 --> 01:22:13,280
Powerful.

2098
01:22:15,520 --> 01:22:17,440
And don't get me wrong, I like a restaurant

2099
01:22:17,440 --> 01:22:20,880
that has all sorts of random ass shit on their menu, right?

2100
01:22:20,880 --> 01:22:23,680
You know, I like goes to Tsushima, right?

2101
01:22:23,680 --> 01:22:27,960
Same sort of concept maybe, but does that make sense?

2102
01:22:27,960 --> 01:22:28,800
Yeah, no, no, yeah.

2103
01:22:28,800 --> 01:22:30,880
That's not a formulated complete idea yet.

2104
01:22:30,880 --> 01:22:32,120
It's just, it was knocking around in my head.

2105
01:22:32,120 --> 01:22:33,960
Video game, me playing video games

2106
01:22:33,960 --> 01:22:35,520
is like eating at a restaurant.

2107
01:22:36,840 --> 01:22:37,680
I rarely tip.

2108
01:22:38,800 --> 01:22:39,720
Do you rarely tip?

2109
01:22:39,720 --> 01:22:40,560
No.

2110
01:22:40,560 --> 01:22:41,560
I was like, what?

2111
01:22:41,560 --> 01:22:46,560
Like podcast ended, Justin is canceled, holy shit.

2112
01:22:49,680 --> 01:22:51,920
Although it's funny I say podcast ended

2113
01:22:51,920 --> 01:22:54,880
because here we are at the end of the podcast.

2114
01:22:55,800 --> 01:22:59,000
Thanks so much for indulging us and chilling with us

2115
01:22:59,000 --> 01:23:01,560
for the past hour and a half or so.

2116
01:23:01,560 --> 01:23:04,760
If you want more Hitbox,

2117
01:23:04,760 --> 01:23:08,320
head on over to patreon.com slash hitboxpod,

2118
01:23:08,320 --> 01:23:11,400
become a $3 deluxe podcast producer like Jaynull,

2119
01:23:11,400 --> 01:23:14,400
like Dave Parker, the two of them are real ones.

2120
01:23:14,400 --> 01:23:17,360
They've been real ones since the offset.

2121
01:23:17,360 --> 01:23:20,840
And if you do, if you join their ranks,

2122
01:23:20,840 --> 01:23:23,120
you'll get additional 30 minute bonus episodes

2123
01:23:23,120 --> 01:23:24,560
every single week.

2124
01:23:24,560 --> 01:23:27,520
It's like 15 additional extra hours of content.

2125
01:23:27,520 --> 01:23:30,120
Should you feel so inclined,

2126
01:23:30,120 --> 01:23:32,320
you could also just become a $1 podcast producer,

2127
01:23:32,320 --> 01:23:33,800
also good.

01:23:42,560 --> 01:23:45,440
Justin, am I forgetting anything?

2132
01:23:45,440 --> 01:23:47,800
You're forgetting that you once again did an awesome job

2133
01:23:47,800 --> 01:23:49,280
of closing out the show.

2134
01:23:49,280 --> 01:23:50,120
Oh my goodness.

2135
01:23:50,120 --> 01:23:51,360
And that you, Peter.

2136
01:23:51,360 --> 01:23:52,200
Me?

2137
01:23:52,200 --> 01:23:54,000
Hans Spitek, are an amazing person.

2138
01:23:54,000 --> 01:23:57,800
Right back at you, Justin.

2139
01:23:57,800 --> 01:23:58,640
Are you okay?

2140
01:23:58,640 --> 01:24:00,080
Yeah, you came right back at me a little quicker

2141
01:24:00,080 --> 01:24:01,360
than I was expecting, so.

2142
01:24:01,360 --> 01:24:02,360
Yeah, okay, yeah, sorry,

2143
01:24:02,360 --> 01:24:03,640
I should have said that a little softer.

2144
01:24:03,640 --> 01:24:04,680
Thank you.

2145
01:24:04,680 --> 01:24:05,720
Right back at you, Justin.

2146
01:24:05,720 --> 01:24:06,880
No, thank you.

2147
01:24:08,320 --> 01:24:09,160
What do I usually say?

2148
01:24:09,160 --> 01:24:10,000
I always remember.

2149
01:24:10,000 --> 01:24:10,840
All games are all bye.

2150
01:24:10,840 --> 01:24:11,680
Bye.

2151
01:24:11,680 --> 01:24:39,160
All right, that's, I'll stop recording.

2152
01:24:39,160 --> 01:24:44,160
Bye.
