00:00:58,120 Just to say that game was fucking sick. 41 00:00:58,120 --> 00:00:59,120 You Northern bastards give me games. 42 00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:00,120 I really liked it. 43 00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:02,320 And then I just said, I was like, I'm going to get all my mates to play it. 44 00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:03,320 It's fucking sick. 45 00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:04,680 The old one played. 46 00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:06,520 Keep up the good work and it's fucking. 47 00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:07,520 Oh God. 48 00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:09,520 It's a funny little guy. 49 00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:13,680 So it's so fucking move left and right and about and slap. 50 00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:15,480 What's the fucking description for it? 51 00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:16,480 I have no idea. 52 00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:19,520 Let me have a look because I don't even know what you're supposed to. 53 00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:21,040 I suppose it's on Steam, isn't it? 54 00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:24,520 So that would be the best bet for me to have a little gander because I played it on PS5. 55 00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:25,520 You played it on Steam. 56 00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:26,520 Yeah. 57 00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:27,520 Let's have a look. 58 00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:30,680 For a mere 12 pounds, the game was bought. 59 00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:34,320 It is at the moment. 60 00:01:34,320 --> 00:01:37,040 It's got it's overwhelmingly positive. 61 00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:39,200 Yeah, of course. 62 00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:43,040 And at the moment, it's 13 pounds and 59 pence. 63 00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:48,480 You can get it in a bundle with Untitled Goose Game on Steam. 64 00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:51,880 You can for 2662. 65 00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:57,880 And it is thank goodness you're here is an absurd comedy slap former set in a bizarre 66 00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:02,800 northern English town of Barnesworth as a traveling salesman. 67 00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:07,060 Take the time to see the sites and meet the locals who are very eager to give you a series 68 00:02:07,060 --> 00:02:08,840 of increasingly odd jobs. 69 00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:10,920 And it was released on the 1st of August. 70 00:02:10,920 --> 00:02:15,440 It was published by Panic and the developer is Cold Supper. 71 00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:18,520 And I'll give you a quick rundown. 72 00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:21,640 It's about two and a bit hours to complete. 73 00:02:21,640 --> 00:02:24,240 I would imagine it's not far off of that to platinum it either. 74 00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:30,240 No, I think I did just doing it pretty, you know, do move moving around and doing as much 75 00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:31,240 as I can. 76 00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:34,520 I think I missed out five achievements total. 77 00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:39,980 And it is so probably if you didn't get them all in one place, I imagine that you could 78 00:02:39,980 --> 00:02:43,800 focus on trying to find them and you would probably be able to be line it and get it 79 00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:45,840 done in a lot quicker than that. 80 00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:48,560 It is so northern. 81 00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:50,880 It's fucking fantastic. 82 00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:59,560 I absolutely loved it because I because I saw a tick tock clip of because it's all the 83 00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:00,800 the art style of it. 84 00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:01,800 It's just fantastic. 85 00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:02,800 Very like a comic. 86 00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:04,560 Yeah, it's very cartoon. 87 00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:07,480 It's so good. 88 00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:11,580 And I saw a clip of it on tick tock just randomly. 89 00:03:11,580 --> 00:03:18,800 And it was this little old lady in a bakery and it's just this the woman behind the counter. 90 00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:25,240 You want vegan pastry saying that she's got no butter and that the pastry would be vegan 91 00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:26,240 like a meat. 92 00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:27,240 It was like a pie or something. 93 00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:28,240 It would be vegan. 94 00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:29,240 It's just this little old lady. 95 00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:30,240 She just stood there. 96 00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:33,920 No, I'd rather shit bed. 97 00:03:33,920 --> 00:03:34,920 I'd rather shit bed. 98 00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:37,840 And I was like, that is that is fantastic. 99 00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:40,080 And I was like, I will not watch any more of this. 100 00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:42,000 I will buy it instead. 101 00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:46,360 And then, yeah, and I completed it in like, yeah, two and a bit hours. 102 00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:53,280 Yeah, it's a very easy brainless like just go entitled goose game just like a hoss about 103 00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:56,480 and just do what do kind of what you want. 104 00:03:56,480 --> 00:04:00,160 But you will be pushed in the direction that you need to go if you just keep fucking about 105 00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:01,160 stuff. 106 00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:03,040 Well, this person played 2.3 hours. 107 00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:07,080 They've got 2582 products on their account. 108 00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:09,760 So I feel like they're a reputable steam reviewer. 109 00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:12,320 It says, it says I'm going to go. 110 00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:14,440 I'm going to come out and say this straight away. 111 00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:18,080 Thank goodness you're here is one of the funniest games I've ever played easily. 112 00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:21,880 I can't remember the last time I laughed out loud this often. 113 00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:23,800 The visuals are endlessly charming. 114 00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:25,680 The voice acting is absolute perfection. 115 00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:26,680 The music is great. 116 00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:30,120 And it's just so funny. 117 00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:31,120 Now big asterisks. 118 00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:34,400 I am English, half northern, half midlander. 119 00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:39,000 So much of what's hilarious about thank goodness is based in extremely specific references 120 00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:43,760 and general vibes from northern English culture between the 70s and the noughties. 121 00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:49,320 I may have been bordering on tears seeing a shop called Price Shaggers and seeing the 122 00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:50,720 perfectly named products inside. 123 00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:55,120 But I can't help but wonder if this game might just make an American's head explode. 124 00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:56,120 Oh yeah. 125 00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:58,120 I definitely agree that they will be. 126 00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:01,560 Well, that's what I said to you earlier. 127 00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:06,120 When you went into the settings, which was faff, you could, you could fuck about with 128 00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:08,080 it and it's like, Oh, turn subtitles on. 129 00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:10,520 It also had a dialect intensity setting. 130 00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:15,520 It's so you could, I'd be intrigued to do another play through with turn that down, 131 00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:18,600 write down whether like how much that makes a significant difference. 132 00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:20,120 We are at Chuck, get out kid. 133 00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:21,120 I want you to fucking do it. 134 00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:22,120 You silly bastard. 135 00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:23,120 Yeah. 136 00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:27,120 It turns it right down to like fucking standard, like normal northern English or does it proper 137 00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:31,800 like, he goes on to say that, all right, I'm going to fucking come clean your pipe. 138 00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:32,840 You're fucking silly bitch. 139 00:05:32,840 --> 00:05:33,840 It's ridiculous. 140 00:05:33,840 --> 00:05:34,840 But I loved everything. 141 00:05:34,840 --> 00:05:36,520 Like we said, we understand all of it. 142 00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:41,040 And I have reverse a Northern, but it's, I don't know. 143 00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:50,400 I, if you're not from England, the, the Southern and Northern divide is well, and it's established. 144 00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:55,960 No one really knows where the line begins, where it's cut, where it's separated in the, 145 00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:56,960 in England. 146 00:05:56,960 --> 00:06:00,440 Um, but I love Northerners more than I love Southerners. 147 00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:01,440 I absolutely love Northerners. 148 00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:02,720 There's a lot more character to them. 149 00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:08,720 They're just so fucking like non-serious, serious people. 150 00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:13,480 They get shit done, but with a meat pie in their hands and a fucking tub of gravy. 151 00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:15,280 But it's just, I just love them. 152 00:06:15,280 --> 00:06:16,280 It's fantastic. 153 00:06:16,280 --> 00:06:21,400 Um, expressing goes on to say, says, um, that might be what I love most about thank goodness. 154 00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:26,800 Um, though it is, it absolutely refuses to compromise when depicting the Yorkshire essence 155 00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:27,800 and culture. 156 00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:32,520 It may be an incredibly small subject of gamers who can actually enjoy this, but by God will 157 00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:34,760 the people who this is made for love it. 158 00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:38,840 And you can feel just how much love is in the developers for this, for this county for 159 00:06:38,840 --> 00:06:44,680 this, um, dialect and cultural reference point, despite some often grotesque and unflattery 160 00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:48,440 imagery, it never feels mean spirited instead. 161 00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:54,040 Thank goodness depicts people and culture with honesty and, uh, and humor that is more 162 00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:58,960 respectfully more respectful than if they'd avoided anything potentially offensive. 163 00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:00,760 It is great. 164 00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:08,200 Like it's, it's probably when, um, it's probably tongue in cheek humor. 165 00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:10,920 Well, you, you, you can, it's there, it's implied. 166 00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:16,280 And it's just like, it has it out as it is in front of you going, oh, like, what was 167 00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:20,920 the questions that Sam asked on, on, on the last episode that we did, um, like best gamer 168 00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:24,520 this year, best hidden gem, best antagonist, best protagonist. 169 00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:25,520 Yeah. 170 00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:29,680 Best, best, uh, best game, best console, best soundtrack, best expansion, best hidden gem. 171 00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:31,440 Well, that fills that fucking category. 172 00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:32,440 Oh yeah. 173 00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:34,360 Best hidden gem is thank goodness you're here. 174 00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:35,360 Yeah, definitely. 175 00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:39,560 Which I believe is on every, is on every console, including switch. 176 00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:48,440 I'm pretty sure I it's, I don't know how you can capture the essence of just fucking even 177 00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:55,440 down to the menu man, where it's just, it's just a, uh, images of just the North. 178 00:07:55,440 --> 00:08:02,640 Yeah, I think it's think it said it had, um, agreement with some sort of light museum for 179 00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:04,880 the town that they were trying to portray. 180 00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:10,360 So it had some sort of agreement and it was using photos and imagery and videos that they'd 181 00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:16,240 obviously they're taken back from like the, whenever it was meant to be like 60 seventies 182 00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:20,920 and was using them in the, in the shots and like the menu screen that had, you know, the 183 00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:25,400 slightly blurred out texture of what, what it used to look like and everything very like 184 00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:27,840 old mining town or coal town. 185 00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:32,600 But you've just got, you just got like the witty imagery in the background and the drawings 186 00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:37,520 and the little character designs are all unique and different and saw Mark Manister on there. 187 00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:38,520 Oh, Mark Manister. 188 00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:39,520 It's just great. 189 00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:43,880 I just, I just absolutely love it. 190 00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:47,000 And then the fucking the fishmonger where you're slapping his cock. 191 00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:48,880 I didn't even realize you could do that. 192 00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:50,520 I didn't even know that was a thing. 193 00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:53,320 He set up his stall a couple of times. 194 00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:59,800 There's like, there's like three areas in the game or maybe four that you sort of keep 195 00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:02,320 looping background to. 196 00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:06,400 And then there's one with a, with like a parade of shops and there's a fishmongers in it. 197 00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:10,920 And you basically, you just keep getting sent on a series of quests. 198 00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:11,920 Yeah. 199 00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:15,240 It's always like you're doing, you've got your main mission. 200 00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:16,680 Like you're a traveling salesman. 201 00:09:16,680 --> 00:09:19,560 You're meant to bring whatever, I don't even know what product you meant to be bringing 202 00:09:19,560 --> 00:09:20,560 to the town. 203 00:09:20,560 --> 00:09:21,560 I have no idea. 204 00:09:21,560 --> 00:09:25,360 Like it's not described and you're just dropped off in town and then it's just, oh, you need 205 00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:27,280 to speak to the mayor, but the mayor's busy. 206 00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:30,120 So you need to kill some time, kill some time. 207 00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:33,200 And you just go out in town and everyone's just like, Oh, because I think there is a 208 00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:34,720 trophy if you just sit in the waiting room. 209 00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:35,720 You just wait. 210 00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:36,720 I noticed that it's 15 minutes. 211 00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:40,880 I think it's and it's just, well, you're here. 212 00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:42,760 Like, Oh, thank goodness you're here. 213 00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:43,760 Yeah. 214 00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:44,760 Yeah. 215 00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:47,480 And I've got, you need to fucking set my fish out, please. 216 00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:48,480 Yeah. 217 00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:53,320 So first, I think it starts with, um, what is it? 218 00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:56,360 There's, there's someone it's the, you need to go get the bar. 219 00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:57,360 Chippies locked up or something. 220 00:09:57,360 --> 00:10:02,040 You need to get the butter from the fucking little fat guys. 221 00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:06,200 Some fat little wallet, but he's trying to get, he's got, I'll put the hand down drain 222 00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:07,200 to get toppers. 223 00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:08,200 Yeah. 224 00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:09,200 Yeah. 225 00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:10,200 Pretty much. 226 00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:12,400 You got to go and get some fucking to get him out, but you need to do different little 227 00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:17,720 steps to unlock doors and find the way in and way through it. 228 00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:21,440 It's just, it's bizarre, but at the same time it's funny and it's, it's quirky. 229 00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:22,440 Really, really weird. 230 00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:26,240 And like I say, there's this fish mongers where every time you end up popping into a 231 00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:31,840 shop, whether you're quickly walking through or something, um, he's got different fish 232 00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:36,560 set up on his, on his counter that you have to smack to like set them up. 233 00:10:36,560 --> 00:10:41,240 And like one time you'll hit them and then the cigarettes pop out of their fucking mouths. 234 00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:45,440 But yeah, there's just this one where I never actually did it, but saw a clip of it. 235 00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:50,320 And there's like the series of, of pink fish set up on the counter. 236 00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:53,880 And then this one where it looks like the tail end of the fish. 237 00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:57,680 And then if you slap it enough, he basically comes himself bigger and bigger. 238 00:10:57,680 --> 00:10:58,680 Yeah. 239 00:10:58,680 --> 00:10:59,680 Oh no, no, no, no, no, no, no. 240 00:10:59,680 --> 00:11:00,680 Yeah. 241 00:11:00,680 --> 00:11:01,680 It's fucking, it's just so stupid. 242 00:11:01,680 --> 00:11:02,680 Oh no, I'm about to. 243 00:11:02,680 --> 00:11:08,200 And then the fucking, like the, the rats in the bargain shop thing. 244 00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:11,600 We got, we got upstairs, like into the loft where there's these rats. 245 00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:13,720 Um, it's just like a normal corner shop. 246 00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:14,720 Yeah. 247 00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:20,880 And then there's like a whole fucking, um, like cathedral to one side. 248 00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:24,600 And then when you go to the other side, it's just an exact replica of the shop that you've 249 00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:31,000 just been in, but with the fucking rats instead, it's just, it's very difficult to portray 250 00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:34,960 the humor verbally without having a visual. 251 00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:39,760 One that needs to be played and you kind of need to pursue the, the aspect of, of looking 252 00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:41,120 around in all the different shops. 253 00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:43,680 Cause you do get new dialogue in different rooms. 254 00:11:43,680 --> 00:11:47,600 Every time you sort of come back, which, which does extend the game a tiny bit, but at the 255 00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:52,520 same time, you feel like you want to get into every little nook and cranny to find all this 256 00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:59,280 fun parts, like going to see the, I don't know if he was like a, uh, like a burger van 257 00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:02,960 and you jump in to see the guy and he's got, he just starts slapping his ass and he gets 258 00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:03,960 upset. 259 00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:04,960 Yeah. 260 00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:05,960 Yeah. 261 00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:06,960 The burger. 262 00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:07,960 Yeah. 263 00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:08,960 And you can do that a couple of times. 264 00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:09,960 Yeah. 265 00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:13,040 It's just, uh, yeah, I can't. 266 00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:16,000 It's such a bizarre little game as well. 267 00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:22,200 Cause what are the, cause I'd imagine with steam, it must have, we must have, must have 268 00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:24,160 decent reviews across the board. 269 00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:26,160 I'd imagine so. 270 00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:28,400 Thank goodness you're here. 271 00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:31,440 I did see one when I was looking that was like, Oh yeah, it's a great game. 272 00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:32,440 And it said item refunded. 273 00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:34,440 I was like, what? 274 00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:36,480 Oh, probably because it's a short. 275 00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:37,480 Yeah. 276 00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:40,600 You played it and they managed to get your money back quickly, which is a bit fucking, 277 00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:42,960 which is a bit deep, but it's a bit. 278 00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:43,960 It's a bit deep in it. 279 00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:46,400 It's such a short game. 280 00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:49,600 You can still be within the window. 281 00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:56,600 1359 a minute released the 1st of August. 282 00:12:56,600 --> 00:13:01,920 90% of Metacritic, Metacritic 10 out of 10 on steam, five out of five on Eurogamer, blah, 283 00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:04,920 dee, blah, dee, blah. 284 00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:07,640 2.5 hours. 285 00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:09,200 It took me to do. 286 00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:10,200 Thank goodness you're here. 287 00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:15,160 Stuffed full of adult humor is like a delightful fever dream wrapped in a cozy blanket of whimsy 288 00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:16,160 and hilarity. 289 00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:21,000 From the moment I stepped into it's bizarre, charming, blatantly Yorkshire world, I couldn't 290 00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:22,000 stop laughing. 291 00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:25,160 The humor is both hidden in the detail and glaringly obvious. 292 00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:26,600 The characters are so quirky. 293 00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:29,680 They make your weird uncle seem downright normal. 294 00:13:29,680 --> 00:13:33,720 And the puzzles are more entertaining than a cat on a catnip on catnip. 295 00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:36,640 It's like the developers for a tea party with Monty Python. 296 00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:38,040 And we all got invited. 297 00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:41,400 If you need a good laugh and a break from reality, this game is your golden ticket. 298 00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:43,920 Thank goodness this game is here. 299 00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:47,720 Putting Barnesworth in brackets, Barnsley on the map. 300 00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:56,360 I think the thing that I love so much about it is I had no, I saw that one clip and that 301 00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:58,080 was the only knowledge I had of the game. 302 00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:00,680 And then I bought it and cracked on straight away. 303 00:14:00,680 --> 00:14:04,000 And it was, I had it downloaded for a couple of days and didn't play it. 304 00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:06,040 And then there was one day. 305 00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:09,400 When was that the, what day was that? 306 00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:14,000 Saturday, Sunday, Friday? 307 00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:15,400 It was whatever day you weren't in. 308 00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:16,400 Wednesday? 309 00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:17,400 Not sure. 310 00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:18,400 Oh yeah. 311 00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:19,400 It might have been, yeah. 312 00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:20,400 It might have been Wednesday. 313 00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:23,960 You text me on one of the days and I'm like, oh thank goodness. 314 00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:24,960 I think it was Wednesday. 315 00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:25,960 Yeah. 316 00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:26,960 Cause I was confused. 317 00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:28,960 Cause you were like, oh thank goodness. 318 00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:31,680 I was like, I was a very confusing message that you sent me. 319 00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:32,680 I was like. 320 00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:33,680 Yeah. 321 00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:34,680 I think Ash was confused by it as well. 322 00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:35,680 Yeah. 323 00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:37,640 Cause I said, thank goodness you're here. 324 00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:38,640 Yeah. 325 00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:39,640 I was like, what? 326 00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:40,640 The best game ever. 327 00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:41,640 What are you talking about? 328 00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:42,640 But I. 329 00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:45,960 And then yeah, you sent me the photo of Mark and. 330 00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:48,960 Me and Steph. 331 00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:50,200 Thanks goodness you're here. 332 00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:51,480 A hundred percent you should play it. 333 00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:52,480 It's fantastic. 334 00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:53,480 I was like, what? 335 00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:54,480 Yeah. 336 00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:55,480 Very confusing. 337 00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:56,480 I apologize. 338 00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:57,480 Sent me at midday on Wednesday. 339 00:14:57,480 --> 00:14:58,480 I was like. 340 00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:03,360 I started that with Steph cause I was like, you're going to love this. 341 00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:09,720 Um, and obviously didn't know the runtime of it and yeah, managed to finish it in just 342 00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:10,800 over two hours. 343 00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:16,520 And I was like, I am very satisfied because of how short it was. 344 00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:17,520 Yeah. 345 00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:22,120 Despite, despite it being a very short game, I feel like spending, I know it says till 346 00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:27,040 the 15th of August, it's on, it should be 16 pound, but it's on it's like introductory 347 00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:28,040 offer. 348 00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:33,280 So, but despite that, I think I'd even pay in 16 pound for a quirky little game. 349 00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:39,000 Like that from a very indie, from a very indie company that they make another couple of games 350 00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:40,000 like that. 351 00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:42,440 I think I'd be more than up for it. 352 00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:48,560 I was fucking, it's, um, like I say, it was just a lovely little break away from. 353 00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:52,120 Very easy and very not like, if you wanted to play it, you wouldn't feel like you were 354 00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:54,600 stressed playing it and there's no time crunch. 355 00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:59,160 There's no, you know, if you want to just play it, like essentially play a chapter, 356 00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:00,680 you know, you want to play half hour. 357 00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:05,080 You can play half hour and you can play it on very easy as like a steam get get steam 358 00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:09,600 deck game or a portable game because it's, there's two buttons basically. 359 00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:13,560 It's like the directions and one button to interact with everything. 360 00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:14,560 Yeah. 361 00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:15,560 And jump. 362 00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:16,560 Yeah. 363 00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:17,560 There's three buttons. 364 00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:18,560 You've got three buttons and that's it. 365 00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:19,560 Yeah. 366 00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:24,120 So there's no, there's no need to be like, Oh, I can't play this or it's too difficult 367 00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:25,200 or too complicated. 368 00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:29,240 Even the puzzles are not like, there's nothing that's really going to stump you. 369 00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:35,760 If you, if you can do a basic sort of side crawler, you know, most of the level designs 370 00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:42,200 are two day side crawlers apart from like the, the bigger open area ones, you know, 371 00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:46,560 like the, like the market or outside the town hall and things like that, where you can actually 372 00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:54,480 move around and go sort of 2.5 D but for the most part it's just move left and right and 373 00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:57,840 jump around and push things about and interact with people. 374 00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:00,880 It's just very, very simple. 375 00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:06,680 It's a nice, nice quirky little introduction with a lot of like slapstick. 376 00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:07,960 I'd love, I'd love more. 377 00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:11,360 I'd love more games like that, but I also, I'd also done a half, I don't know how you 378 00:17:11,360 --> 00:17:13,360 would replicate that. 379 00:17:13,360 --> 00:17:14,360 I really don't know. 380 00:17:14,360 --> 00:17:19,080 I'd imagine you maybe can get some DLC out of it or just leave it. 381 00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:22,520 I think it's probably good enough to have left it where it is, but I imagine it's probably 382 00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:27,560 because the lads who made it are probably from where the town is inspired from. 383 00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:28,560 Yeah. 384 00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:32,960 They go, all right, let's just start ribbing ourselves unless you add, you know, it's not 385 00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:38,200 because they're going for a specific experience of Northern that if they tried to replicate 386 00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:41,320 that necessarily like London might be a little bit different. 387 00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:42,320 Yeah. 388 00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:43,560 I don't think you'd get the same humor. 389 00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:49,880 You like, you know, it comes from a point of like that's Northern humor and like you 390 00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:54,080 can understand, we can understand it because you know, we're, we're from England. 391 00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:57,720 Whereas a lot of people would be like, Oh, I don't really get that. 392 00:17:57,720 --> 00:18:00,440 A lot of the foreign market wouldn't necessarily understand that. 393 00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:01,440 Yeah. 394 00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:06,520 Like, well, like that first review said, you are, you are putting this fantastic game out, 395 00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:11,880 but it's, it's going to resonate with such a select few, few people. 396 00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:13,240 You're not, uh, someone else. 397 00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:16,120 I literally saw that someone said, Oh, where is it? 398 00:18:16,120 --> 00:18:19,120 A very short one, a right laugh. 399 00:18:19,120 --> 00:18:22,840 And then someone's put, uh, right. 400 00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:23,840 Good. 401 00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:27,080 I think if you take the mic out of Sheffield at one point, 10 out of 10 wouldn't be insulted 402 00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:28,080 again. 403 00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:29,080 Would be so. 404 00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:35,880 So it's like, you know, as a Yorkshire lad, this game is bloody amazing. 405 00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:39,760 Play it in the dialect language for the best experience and true authenticity. 406 00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:43,560 It don't matter as you have a clue what's happening. 407 00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:44,560 It's not our fault. 408 00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:45,560 You don't understand. 409 00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:46,560 You don't understand. 410 00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:47,560 Oh, you don't understand. 411 00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:55,320 So soft, soft, soft, soft, soft, soft, soft, soft, soft, soft, soft, soft, soft, soft, soft, 412 00:18:55,320 --> 00:19:01,040 but yeah, that is a fantastic for a little cheap, little cheapy game. 413 00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:02,040 Very fun. 414 00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:04,580 I want to see more games like that, please. 415 00:19:04,580 --> 00:19:10,160 I feel like the ability, everyone always wants a triple a game. 416 00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:15,440 No, I feel like we have more fun with tiny Indies, tiny Indies that are like that because 417 00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:17,840 wait in 400 years for a game to come out. 418 00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:25,200 But like I've said before, you, you are given almost the freedom as an indie developer to 419 00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:27,240 sort of do whatever the fuck you want. 420 00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:36,240 If you, if you're not bound by an IP or no, if you get something like Rockstar or Ubisoft 421 00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:39,640 or Treyarch or something, it's fresh. 422 00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:40,640 Yeah. 423 00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:48,080 So if they, they come out with something like that, you will get the niche amount of people 424 00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:52,720 that will pay that will, that will, that will play that kind of game and go, yeah, that 425 00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:53,720 was fantastic. 426 00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:56,680 But then you've cut off the rest of the world. 427 00:19:56,680 --> 00:20:03,000 And when you're a massive developer like that, you can't afford to cut off 90% of your market 428 00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:04,480 because it makes no sense. 429 00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:06,040 You all right? 430 00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:11,920 No, just an issue where the, the top batter is for obviously, thank goodness you're here 431 00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:19,880 on steam has the tiny teams like maybe it's a sale or an event or something August 8th 432 00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:22,280 to 15th at 10 AM Pacific. 433 00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:26,760 But then it says it's presented by Yogscast games, which they're massive or had been a 434 00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:33,560 master probably still are, but were a massive like YouTube, a gaming group that for years 435 00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:34,560 now. 436 00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:36,240 I don't know. 437 00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:38,800 Maybe they've got some, I'll have to look into that. 438 00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:45,080 But if you're, if you're a big, big company, you can't, you can't afford to do stuff like 439 00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:46,080 that. 440 00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:53,480 Whereas I feel like with the indie developers, they, they very much are able to explore areas 441 00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:59,400 that haven't necessarily been explored and come up with ideas that are very niche and 442 00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:03,520 see if people do like them, if they don't like them, that doesn't, that doesn't mean 443 00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:10,640 that I'm saying that it's easier or less time consuming and more throwaway to create an 444 00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:16,760 indie game because I feel like, like with these developers, there's only two of them. 445 00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:21,520 So I can't imagine it's very easy to fucking make a game, especially even though it's a 446 00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:23,360 short game with that sort of detail. 447 00:21:23,360 --> 00:21:24,360 Yeah. 448 00:21:24,360 --> 00:21:27,640 Imagine it did take them a little while to be able to do all of that. 449 00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:28,640 Exactly. 450 00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:31,120 There's the, there's the art, there's the static artwork, but there's also the animations 451 00:21:31,120 --> 00:21:32,120 and yeah. 452 00:21:32,120 --> 00:21:38,040 So it's, it's very, um, I don't know it. 453 00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:39,040 Yeah. 454 00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:42,280 I would just like to see more indies like that. 455 00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:47,560 And I'm almost certain that are more indies like that because there's so many indie games. 456 00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:52,200 Funnily enough, as you've said that I've literally clicked into the tiny teams event, which obviously 457 00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:56,800 is presented by the old scars games and it's going through tiny champions. 458 00:21:56,800 --> 00:22:00,060 So basically it's an event saying micro studios, massive ideas. 459 00:22:00,060 --> 00:22:05,460 So this is, um, Tony teams return celebrating the very best of video games made by small 460 00:22:05,460 --> 00:22:09,600 teams from around the world, featuring discounts on established champions of indie gaming and 461 00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:12,960 hidden gems, as well as demos for upcoming games. 462 00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:17,280 So what they've said are tiny champions, which are rated by steam is animal well, which says 463 00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:24,520 10% discount inscription, which has a 60% discount, uh, abiotic factor, 20% off, slay 464 00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:25,520 the princess. 465 00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:27,520 Jesus, he turned me up. 466 00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:28,760 I did turn you up. 467 00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:29,760 Yes. 468 00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:30,760 Loud in my ears. 469 00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:36,640 Uh, baltro 10% off buckshot roulette, 10% off phasmophobia content warning. 470 00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:38,520 Oh, very quiet in my ears now. 471 00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:39,520 There we go. 472 00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:40,520 Is that better? 473 00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:41,520 Yes. 474 00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:42,520 Thank you. 475 00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:47,880 Dredge, Stardew Valley backpack battles, tiny rogues, uh, plate up vampire survivors, 476 00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:52,760 Dungeons and degenerate gamblers. 477 00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:54,720 And then there's loads of champion bundles. 478 00:22:54,720 --> 00:23:01,120 So, uh, like tiny rows and battle pack backpack battles, sorry, or in a bundle dredge inscription 479 00:23:01,120 --> 00:23:02,120 animal well. 480 00:23:02,120 --> 00:23:05,520 Uh, and then there's a few others, but yeah. 481 00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:10,840 And then it says a few upcoming ones, which don't really massively stand out, but, um, 482 00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:16,800 you know, thank goodness your here's on there and yeah, it just divides them up, but it's 483 00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:23,640 nice to see that there is at least a surprising almost at the same time that the yogs, crust 484 00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:29,120 group would try and represent a lot of indie titles because I don't remember that that 485 00:23:29,120 --> 00:23:31,080 was kind of their deal. 486 00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:34,120 They just, they enjoy playing games and everything, but I don't remember that being their thing 487 00:23:34,120 --> 00:23:39,840 that they were promoting third party, but it's nice to see that maybe that's where, 488 00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:40,840 where it's at, man. 489 00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:45,320 If, if, if you, people love indie games, absolutely love them. 490 00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:48,800 We're doing an entire episode on one game that's two hours long. 491 00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:49,800 Yeah. 492 00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:54,480 We're equally on there where Stardew Valley was a one man band thing and that's massive 493 00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:55,480 vampire survival. 494 00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:58,560 And like Ash is big on it and Ash is big on vampire survivors. 495 00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:00,760 So right. 496 00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:05,160 You can make some seriously fucking, or even if you've got the idea and the, the passion 497 00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:12,320 and the interest to actually get it done, the, these games are really good in the end, 498 00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:15,440 you know, a lot better than some of the big titles that do come out. 499 00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:16,840 What's Four Guys Indie? 500 00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:19,400 Um, I imagine it was. 501 00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:22,640 I don't, I'm not a hundred percent on it. 502 00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:27,840 Um, Four Guys, I imagine that was. 503 00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:30,880 Cause what other game? 504 00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:31,880 What other game? 505 00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:32,880 What was the game? 506 00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:33,880 What was that? 507 00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:38,000 Ah, published by, well it was published by Epic Games, but it was developed by Media 508 00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:41,560 Tonic, which I don't think that's indie. 509 00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:43,480 It doesn't sound massively. 510 00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:48,760 The fact that it was published by Epic Games means that it did have. 511 00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:51,800 Was, was, is Baldur's Gate technically indie? 512 00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:54,080 Is that technically an indie? 513 00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:55,520 It depends where I reckon. 514 00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:56,520 Really? 515 00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:58,920 Cause they're independently funded in they. 516 00:24:58,920 --> 00:24:59,920 Yeah. 517 00:24:59,920 --> 00:25:05,840 I suppose it depends on what your, what the actual definition of an indie project is because 518 00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:10,880 I feel like technically Baldur's Gate 3 was an indie project in some respects because 519 00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:16,040 Larian is a small studio, but they still had fucking like 400 people, but that's nothing 520 00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:23,200 compared to like the companies that make Assassin's Creed or any of the other big games at the 521 00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:24,200 minute. 522 00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:27,040 So the indie games are computer games created by independent developers. 523 00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:31,680 A single person or a small team of two to 10 people can build such games from scratch. 524 00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:36,280 Sometimes indie games are referred to as free because game resources are either created 525 00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:42,680 by the developers themselves or taken from free sources, uh, created by individuals in 526 00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:43,680 contrast. 527 00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:47,400 So I don't, I don't know if that means that you hit a certain threshold and then you're 528 00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:49,400 no longer indie. 529 00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:50,400 Possibly. 530 00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:52,720 Um, let me just look it up. 531 00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:56,040 Is Fall Guys an indie title? 532 00:25:56,040 --> 00:25:59,280 I would say it's not, but I could be surprised. 533 00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:04,040 I feel like is Fall Guys an indie game? 534 00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:07,840 Because there, there, there must, there must be a, doesn't specify. 535 00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:13,080 There must be a, I mean, not that it really fucking matters because it just says it has 536 00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:19,800 to be made by independent developers, which like, but how, but like with Larian studio 537 00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:25,400 is that so you've got Cold Supper to two geezers. 538 00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:26,400 Right. 539 00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:34,080 And then you've got Larian with say 400, say 400 people. 540 00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:35,680 They're not both indie are they? 541 00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:41,720 No, I think that's like, you could turn around and say that's lesser and greater indie because 542 00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:42,720 you've got like, 543 00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:45,960 But I'd love to know at what point, at what point do you become a massive studio? 544 00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:50,040 Because Ubisoft would have been self funded at some point. 545 00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:51,040 Yeah. 546 00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:52,040 Every, every developer. 547 00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:54,600 It depends how far, how successful you get, I imagine. 548 00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:59,320 But if you turn around and go, I think Larian by this point are no longer an indie group 549 00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:04,320 because they're, they're independent enough that they can do their own titles, but they're 550 00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:08,880 not independent enough because now that they've made Borders Gate, they've fallen into their 551 00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:09,880 a different IP. 552 00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:15,040 I feel like when they were making Divinity, the Divinity games, they were still indie, 553 00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:18,400 but now they had the backing to make Borders Gate. 554 00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:19,800 I feel like they stepped away. 555 00:27:19,800 --> 00:27:25,500 They stepped into an IP enough that they're no longer an indie developer. 556 00:27:25,500 --> 00:27:33,200 If they were to go do their own thing again and go do divinity three or another project 557 00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:37,320 like they're planning, that will return them more towards the indie status. 558 00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:43,080 But they've obviously had the hype out of Borders Gate that they're no longer technically 559 00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:46,880 classed as a very small developer. 560 00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:51,200 But it's, it's one of those ones that it's not like you're a true, they're definitely 561 00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:56,520 not a true indie, indie developer anymore because they're not small enough. 562 00:27:56,520 --> 00:28:01,600 They've had massive success from Borders Gate and even from Divinity that they had cult 563 00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:03,760 following from the Divinity games. 564 00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:07,760 It's like I already had a lot of respect for Larry and even before they picked up Borders 565 00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:12,160 Gate because I enjoyed the Divinity games. 566 00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:15,360 Whereas at the same time you turn around and go, right, you know, now you've got a lot 567 00:28:15,360 --> 00:28:20,840 of respect for Cold Supper because they've made a fucking great little game and you'd 568 00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:21,840 like to... 569 00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:23,840 It's not the only game either, they made one before this. 570 00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:27,840 They made a game before this. 571 00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:30,240 Well they'd fucking hear about it, did we? 572 00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:31,240 Cold Supper. 573 00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:35,800 The Good Time Garden. 574 00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:38,360 What is this? 575 00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:40,080 Was ist das? 576 00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:41,080 I don't know. 577 00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:45,080 They didn't make Untitled Goose Game as well, did they? 578 00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:46,080 Did they? 579 00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:48,080 Who made Untitled Goose Game? 580 00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:52,240 Let me look it up. 581 00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:53,240 You look that one up. 582 00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:59,440 But yeah, the Good Time Garden is one that they made previously. 583 00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:04,400 Untitled Goose Game was a 2019 indie puzzle stealth game developed by House House and 584 00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:06,680 published by Panic. 585 00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:08,520 So they share the same publisher. 586 00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:10,480 That'll be why then. 587 00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:15,600 The Good Time Garden is a short, surreal experience from Cold Supper featuring frame by frame, 588 00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:18,360 hand drawn animation and an original soundtrack. 589 00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:24,360 It's available for free from itch.io and Steam. 590 00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:26,040 The Good Time Garden on Steam. 591 00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:27,040 Let's have a look. 592 00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:35,800 They've got overwhelmingly positive reviews. 593 00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:40,080 No one will hear that fart. 594 00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:42,320 So Panic also did Firewatch. 595 00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:43,320 Published Firewatch. 596 00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:47,640 Someone in this review said, slap some titties and butts. 597 00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:49,560 10 out of 10. 598 00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:51,320 I'm here to say I wishlist. 599 00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:52,320 Thank goodness you're here. 600 00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:53,920 I'm freaking ready. 601 00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:57,360 I highly recommend playing this game if you like silly puzzle games. 602 00:29:57,360 --> 00:30:01,160 It's only about 10 to 30 minutes, depending on how much time you spend on slapping various 603 00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:04,040 body parts of gameplay and no replayability. 604 00:30:04,040 --> 00:30:05,320 But it's free. 605 00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:12,560 It somehow manages to be super cute and cozy while being also being incredibly disgusting 606 00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:13,560 and disturbing. 607 00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:17,320 I'm for sure going to download the demo for thank goodness you're here now. 608 00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:18,320 Also moist. 609 00:30:18,320 --> 00:30:21,840 Oh, well if it's free, then fucking why not? 610 00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:22,840 Oh my God. 611 00:30:22,840 --> 00:30:23,840 What is that picture? 612 00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:24,840 What? 613 00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:27,840 He's sending you dirty pictures. 614 00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:28,840 It just looks so weird. 615 00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:29,840 I'm looking at the fucking thing. 616 00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:30,840 It looks so odd. 617 00:30:30,840 --> 00:30:31,840 I'm ready. 618 00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:32,840 Oh yeah. 619 00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:33,840 I'll download that. 620 00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:34,840 Why not? 621 00:30:34,840 --> 00:30:35,840 I'll have a fucking little go with that. 622 00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:38,840 You're having another go. 623 00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:40,840 So yeah. 624 00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:48,040 No, interestingly, Panic is responsible for Firewatch, Untitled Goose Game and now thank 625 00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:50,040 goodness you're here. 626 00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:51,040 Firewatch yeah. 627 00:30:51,040 --> 00:30:52,760 So three pretty decent games. 628 00:30:52,760 --> 00:30:53,760 Yeah. 629 00:30:53,760 --> 00:30:54,760 Stephory like Firewatch. 630 00:30:54,760 --> 00:30:55,760 I haven't played it. 631 00:30:55,760 --> 00:30:58,480 I started playing it, but I haven't got very far into it at the minute. 632 00:30:58,480 --> 00:31:01,480 It was a Steam Deck one that I was just like, I'm going to play this pretty much solely 633 00:31:01,480 --> 00:31:03,480 on the Steam Deck. 634 00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:09,520 Interestingly that they're all with all sort of interlinked just obviously the publisher, 635 00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:14,720 but they're strange that they've that panic have not necessarily published a too bad of 636 00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:15,720 a game so far. 637 00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:23,400 I like it when a publisher sort of sticks to that sort of that metric or that rhetoric 638 00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:28,720 sorry of I will publish these games and these types of games only. 639 00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:29,720 These yeah. 640 00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:30,720 None of them are very much. 641 00:31:30,720 --> 00:31:32,840 There's no combat in any of them. 642 00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:33,840 They're very much. 643 00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:36,360 You got Firewatch Untitled Goose Game. 644 00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:37,360 Thank goodness you're here. 645 00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:40,360 Call of Duty Black Ops 6. 646 00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:43,240 It doesn't fit the fucking bill. 647 00:31:43,240 --> 00:31:49,120 They're 100% an indie publisher where they want their niche of game and they're sticking 648 00:31:49,120 --> 00:31:51,120 to it. 649 00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:53,120 What does that entail then? 650 00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:54,120 What being a publisher? 651 00:31:54,120 --> 00:32:00,200 I'd imagine in the same respects as writing a book in that you go here's this book. 652 00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:01,200 Pretty much. 653 00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:02,200 I've made this game. 654 00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:05,160 I need someone to get it out there and panic go. 655 00:32:05,160 --> 00:32:07,400 All right, we'll do it. 656 00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:08,400 We'll do it. 657 00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:10,200 We'll put it on Steam and everything else. 658 00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:15,960 We'll fund the difference to get your game on all these platforms. 659 00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:16,960 We want a cut off. 660 00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:22,960 Obviously we want X amount off of what the profit is because we're the ones who got it 661 00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:23,960 on these platforms. 662 00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:27,520 So would they be the ones that would be in charge of putting it on PlayStation? 663 00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:28,520 Basically, yeah. 664 00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:34,160 They're the ones who went through all the hoops to get it out to the masses essentially. 665 00:32:34,160 --> 00:32:38,920 So the other guy at the Cold Supper just ended up being the ones that made the game, made 666 00:32:38,920 --> 00:32:42,520 it, polished it and got it already and packaged. 667 00:32:42,520 --> 00:32:51,400 Because if you said it was on itch.io, that's basically a free sort of platform that run. 668 00:32:51,400 --> 00:32:57,600 It doesn't run the same way as think like Linux to Windows is the way itch works to 669 00:32:57,600 --> 00:33:00,800 Steam essentially. 670 00:33:00,800 --> 00:33:08,800 A lot of people make stuff before like when it's all just like an indie project or a what 671 00:33:08,800 --> 00:33:12,120 when it's all coded up and everything that that's the platform they put it on originally. 672 00:33:12,120 --> 00:33:15,760 Let me have a look on the old fucking Lappy Poop. 673 00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:18,080 And then I've never heard of itch.io in my life. 674 00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:19,080 I wasn't. 675 00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:26,240 The reason I knew about it was because of like demos for stuff that hadn't quite made 676 00:33:26,240 --> 00:33:27,240 it to Steam yet. 677 00:33:27,240 --> 00:33:38,400 Like there's loads like beta testing for a lot of the like VR sims and tabletop like 678 00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:40,400 builders that are backed from Kickstarter. 679 00:33:40,400 --> 00:33:42,520 They tend to wind up on itch as a... 680 00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:43,520 Punjum Muncher. 681 00:33:43,520 --> 00:33:44,520 Oh yeah. 682 00:33:44,520 --> 00:33:45,520 Life runs through. 683 00:33:45,520 --> 00:33:46,520 The king is watching. 684 00:33:46,520 --> 00:33:52,080 Yeah, I think it's just another platform that doesn't require you to be on Steam. 685 00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:55,800 I don't think it runs necessarily as smooth as Steam, but you tend to just, you know, 686 00:33:55,800 --> 00:33:59,560 like old school when you were back in school and your mate brought in a USB and it had 687 00:33:59,560 --> 00:34:01,300 fucking games on it. 688 00:34:01,300 --> 00:34:02,300 It's kind of like that. 689 00:34:02,300 --> 00:34:04,320 Oh, there's a game here just called Fuck. 690 00:34:04,320 --> 00:34:05,320 No. 691 00:34:05,320 --> 00:34:06,320 Tic Tac Watt. 692 00:34:06,320 --> 00:34:07,320 Decent. 693 00:34:07,320 --> 00:34:08,320 This is... 694 00:34:08,320 --> 00:34:12,320 But I feel like that's kind of how it works versus Steam, whereas they... 695 00:34:12,320 --> 00:34:15,440 Steam wants to fucking cut off everything and as soon as your game's on there, they've 696 00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:18,040 got fucking RDM and... 697 00:34:18,040 --> 00:34:20,800 Magical Girl Game Jam, hashtag 10. 698 00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:25,280 These are some fucking weird, weird games I'm seeing here. 699 00:34:25,280 --> 00:34:28,520 Yeah, essentially they'll be put on itch because they haven't been... 700 00:34:28,520 --> 00:34:29,520 They don't have enough... 701 00:34:29,520 --> 00:34:32,200 They don't have someone who's come along and been a publisher. 702 00:34:32,200 --> 00:34:34,680 This is someone's just made a game and put it on there. 703 00:34:34,680 --> 00:34:35,680 No skin. 704 00:34:35,680 --> 00:34:36,680 Oh. 705 00:34:36,680 --> 00:34:37,680 It's called Geese versus Golfers. 706 00:34:37,680 --> 00:34:38,680 Okay. 707 00:34:38,680 --> 00:34:39,680 Pillow Fight. 708 00:34:39,680 --> 00:34:42,760 I'll have to do some exploring here. 709 00:34:42,760 --> 00:34:46,200 There are games that you can actually buy, buy. 710 00:34:46,200 --> 00:34:47,200 Yeah. 711 00:34:47,200 --> 00:34:48,840 So essentially like the people who... 712 00:34:48,840 --> 00:34:52,200 Cold Supper could have turned around and gone, right, we're putting it up on itch and it 713 00:34:52,200 --> 00:34:57,400 wouldn't have had the massive like advertisement. 714 00:34:57,400 --> 00:35:01,560 So essentially Panic have turned around and said, we'll pay for all the advertising, all 715 00:35:01,560 --> 00:35:05,480 the trailers and we're also going to host it on Steam. 716 00:35:05,480 --> 00:35:10,920 Or whoever fucking made the TikTok that I saw of, thank goodness you're here. 717 00:35:10,920 --> 00:35:15,600 They need to get some kind of cut because from an advertisement point of view... 718 00:35:15,600 --> 00:35:21,000 I feel like TikTok and Instagram is definitely the place for that to be, for all of that 719 00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:23,160 to be hosted on because it's very... 720 00:35:23,160 --> 00:35:27,120 I feel like the clips and the humor fits very well within that media. 721 00:35:27,120 --> 00:35:29,040 100% like if I... 722 00:35:29,040 --> 00:35:33,400 Even long form, I feel like I saw the, you know, like the ending song bit. 723 00:35:33,400 --> 00:35:34,920 Yeah, yeah, yeah. 724 00:35:34,920 --> 00:35:40,640 The little sing-along section at the very end as the game sort of wraps up that I feel 725 00:35:40,640 --> 00:35:42,600 like I started seeing that. 726 00:35:42,600 --> 00:35:45,640 Not understanding that that was what the game was. 727 00:35:45,640 --> 00:35:48,080 I saw that play through and I was like, what the fuck is this? 728 00:35:48,080 --> 00:35:49,080 It's quite funny. 729 00:35:49,080 --> 00:35:50,080 Here we go. 730 00:35:50,080 --> 00:35:59,720 This is a, the clip that I literally, that I saw was from Mr. Stedge, S-T-E-J, 30, 30 731 00:35:59,720 --> 00:36:02,720 and a half thousand likes. 732 00:36:02,720 --> 00:36:07,520 Then there's another one, the top liked and it's a streamer literally with the clip of 733 00:36:07,520 --> 00:36:10,680 him slapping the fishmonger's cock. 734 00:36:10,680 --> 00:36:16,240 168.4 thousand likes, but that's just likes so the views will be higher than that. 735 00:36:16,240 --> 00:36:23,320 So from a fucking advertisement, this one 56 and a half thousand likes, 24 and a half 736 00:36:23,320 --> 00:36:24,320 thousand. 737 00:36:24,320 --> 00:36:31,760 Like there's, there's a lot here, but I'd never really know if that's... 738 00:36:31,760 --> 00:36:33,720 Yeah, who's getting the... 739 00:36:33,720 --> 00:36:35,680 Who's getting a bit of dough for it. 740 00:36:35,680 --> 00:36:36,680 Did I save anything? 741 00:36:36,680 --> 00:36:38,160 I don't, I think I didn't save anything. 742 00:36:38,160 --> 00:36:41,960 Let me preface here that I'm not getting any money for talking about fucking Thank Goodness 743 00:36:41,960 --> 00:36:42,960 You're Here. 744 00:36:42,960 --> 00:36:46,240 It's just such a good game that I, we don't get paid to talk about games. 745 00:36:46,240 --> 00:36:51,040 You're going to be fucking phoning up Cold Stuff for a bit. 746 00:36:51,040 --> 00:36:53,280 There's no adverts, there's no advertisement on this podcast. 747 00:36:53,280 --> 00:36:55,320 We don't get paid anything other than from the patrons. 748 00:36:55,320 --> 00:36:59,480 So this is, don't listen to this thinking he's been fucking paid to talk about this game. 749 00:36:59,480 --> 00:37:00,480 No, I haven't. 750 00:37:00,480 --> 00:37:01,480 He wishes. 751 00:37:01,480 --> 00:37:02,480 I haven't. 752 00:37:02,480 --> 00:37:03,800 I'm not begging for fucking game keys. 753 00:37:03,800 --> 00:37:04,800 It's 10 quid. 754 00:37:04,800 --> 00:37:05,800 You can fucking afford that. 755 00:37:05,800 --> 00:37:06,800 All right. 756 00:37:06,800 --> 00:37:09,320 Let's not get it twisted there. 757 00:37:09,320 --> 00:37:12,160 Go on, go buy it and play it and enjoy it. 758 00:37:12,160 --> 00:37:13,160 100%. 759 00:37:13,160 --> 00:37:17,400 If you're, if you've got 15 quid to spare and you want, you want to have a fun two and 760 00:37:17,400 --> 00:37:18,400 a half hours. 761 00:37:18,400 --> 00:37:19,400 Yeah. 762 00:37:19,400 --> 00:37:22,200 If you're just looking for that, you want to support a small developer that might make 763 00:37:22,200 --> 00:37:25,120 another game like it potentially, hopefully. 764 00:37:25,120 --> 00:37:29,040 Small developer that mind you, when I messaged them on the watch the buttons Instagram, they 765 00:37:29,040 --> 00:37:31,040 replied fucking instantly. 766 00:37:31,040 --> 00:37:32,040 Decent. 767 00:37:32,040 --> 00:37:33,040 They were there quick time connection. 768 00:37:33,040 --> 00:37:34,040 We'll have a quick time. 769 00:37:34,040 --> 00:37:39,280 I'll probably mess him again going like, Hey, you might not be interested, but I've done 770 00:37:39,280 --> 00:37:40,960 an episode talking about your game. 771 00:37:40,960 --> 00:37:41,960 It's fucking sick. 772 00:37:41,960 --> 00:37:44,960 If you're listening, hello. 773 00:37:44,960 --> 00:37:49,920 So yeah, if you've got, if you've got a little bit of dough, if you've got a little bit of 774 00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:54,160 fucking dough to just spend on a game, I just liked it. 775 00:37:54,160 --> 00:38:01,880 If like I keep saying for that little break, which I know gaming is your, is most people's 776 00:38:01,880 --> 00:38:07,480 escape from reality, but I feel like you hit a certain point where you need to change a 777 00:38:07,480 --> 00:38:08,480 pace. 778 00:38:08,480 --> 00:38:11,720 You need to change a pace and you become a gamer where that is no longer your escape 779 00:38:11,720 --> 00:38:13,840 from reality is your reality. 780 00:38:13,840 --> 00:38:14,840 You are a gamer. 781 00:38:14,840 --> 00:38:15,840 You love playing the games. 782 00:38:15,840 --> 00:38:22,160 So therefore you, it becomes, it becomes your life and you begin to get stressed. 783 00:38:22,160 --> 00:38:26,960 The war within comes out on the 22nd for early access 26 for normal people. 784 00:38:26,960 --> 00:38:30,640 I'm still stressing over what fucking what you want to put to class. 785 00:38:30,640 --> 00:38:32,640 I want to play still straight. 786 00:38:32,640 --> 00:38:33,740 Doesn't matter. 787 00:38:33,740 --> 00:38:35,240 It does not matter. 788 00:38:35,240 --> 00:38:38,540 Regardless of what I play, my guild is going to run with me. 789 00:38:38,540 --> 00:38:42,960 It does not fucking matter, but still I've made about 50 different characters and deleted 790 00:38:42,960 --> 00:38:47,080 about 60 just constantly making characters going, maybe I'll try that and then go, no, 791 00:38:47,080 --> 00:38:48,080 I'm not interested. 792 00:38:48,080 --> 00:38:49,080 Maybe I'll try that. 793 00:38:49,080 --> 00:38:50,080 I'm not interested. 794 00:38:50,080 --> 00:38:58,000 It's so to then find a game where you can genuinely just switch the fuck off. 795 00:38:58,000 --> 00:38:59,000 Yeah. 796 00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:00,440 Just enjoy, just enjoy the little ride. 797 00:39:00,440 --> 00:39:04,240 But like I say, the laughing, you know, how, you know, how rare it is to be able to find 798 00:39:04,240 --> 00:39:08,360 a game that you play on your own that actually makes you laugh. 799 00:39:08,360 --> 00:39:13,460 So playing together, you can play almost any game together and have an interesting one 800 00:39:13,460 --> 00:39:17,960 if they did a little co-op section, like because that's what, that's what entitled did that 801 00:39:17,960 --> 00:39:22,680 they eventually had a co-op aspect to the game that if you could, you could then play 802 00:39:22,680 --> 00:39:29,520 do expand the game might again and then make it have a cop ability to it would be quite 803 00:39:29,520 --> 00:39:30,520 interesting. 804 00:39:30,520 --> 00:39:31,520 Yeah. 805 00:39:31,520 --> 00:39:32,520 Yeah. 806 00:39:32,520 --> 00:39:36,320 Cause it, it, it's like, it's very, very subjective. 807 00:39:36,320 --> 00:39:42,720 Cause as we said, throughout this podcast, there will be a lot of people that would play 808 00:39:42,720 --> 00:39:45,480 that game and not understand the humor whatsoever. 809 00:39:45,480 --> 00:39:46,920 They will not get what the fuck's going on. 810 00:39:46,920 --> 00:39:47,920 It might be funny at all. 811 00:39:47,920 --> 00:39:49,520 They might just think it's a bit disgusting. 812 00:39:49,520 --> 00:39:50,520 Yeah. 813 00:39:50,520 --> 00:39:51,520 They might as well. 814 00:39:51,520 --> 00:39:54,320 It's crude, crude humor that appealed to us massively. 815 00:39:54,320 --> 00:39:55,320 Massively. 816 00:39:55,320 --> 00:39:56,320 I was all over it. 817 00:39:56,320 --> 00:40:04,080 So it's, I mean, my, my expert advice is to continue doing what you're doing, bring out 818 00:40:04,080 --> 00:40:05,360 more games like that. 819 00:40:05,360 --> 00:40:08,000 It was fucking fantastic. 820 00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:12,640 And I want to play more of them because I'm prepared to fucking, yeah, I'm happy to put 821 00:40:12,640 --> 00:40:13,640 money down. 822 00:40:13,640 --> 00:40:14,640 Yeah. 823 00:40:14,640 --> 00:40:20,680 I'm like, oh, I'll fucking, I, it's not like what's the button sponsors. 824 00:40:20,680 --> 00:40:23,160 Thank goodness you're here. 825 00:40:23,160 --> 00:40:28,720 It's not like when you, when you sink say, I dunno, like 10 hours into a game and then 826 00:40:28,720 --> 00:40:33,440 you finally realize that it's shit and you go, well, I've wasted 10 hours of my life 827 00:40:33,440 --> 00:40:34,440 here. 828 00:40:34,440 --> 00:40:38,680 That was a bit of a whiff or like I finished brand ball the other week. 829 00:40:38,680 --> 00:40:39,680 Yeah. 830 00:40:39,680 --> 00:40:40,680 That was very good. 831 00:40:40,680 --> 00:40:43,800 Wasn't fantastic, but it was, but still enjoyable. 832 00:40:43,800 --> 00:40:44,800 Yeah. 833 00:40:44,800 --> 00:40:49,240 It was an enjoyable game and it was a quick game and it's, it's whether that's the fucking 834 00:40:49,240 --> 00:40:56,120 tick top brain rot, give me the instant dopamine hit fucking bang, bang, bang. 835 00:40:56,120 --> 00:40:59,280 But I've always struggled with playing long games like that unless they really, really 836 00:40:59,280 --> 00:41:00,280 captivate me. 837 00:41:00,280 --> 00:41:01,280 Yeah. 838 00:41:01,280 --> 00:41:02,440 I feel like we've all moved that way. 839 00:41:02,440 --> 00:41:06,480 Now I feel like some games are just too long and they're filled with too much shit. 840 00:41:06,480 --> 00:41:07,480 Mm. 841 00:41:07,480 --> 00:41:08,480 Assassin's Creed Valhalla. 842 00:41:08,480 --> 00:41:11,240 Well, I was saying that to Stefan the patron. 843 00:41:11,240 --> 00:41:12,640 Just Assassin's Creed games. 844 00:41:12,640 --> 00:41:14,480 Now they're fucking far too long. 845 00:41:14,480 --> 00:41:15,480 Yeah. 846 00:41:15,480 --> 00:41:18,760 But Mirage was, was, was a decent length I felt, but it just didn't have enough depth 847 00:41:18,760 --> 00:41:19,760 in it. 848 00:41:19,760 --> 00:41:20,760 True. 849 00:41:20,760 --> 00:41:22,120 And I'm hoping that that it's fine. 850 00:41:22,120 --> 00:41:25,920 I suppose in gaming it's finding that balance where the game is long enough, but doing too 851 00:41:25,920 --> 00:41:26,920 much. 852 00:41:26,920 --> 00:41:31,760 Like I feel filmaturg is also the game I've been playing and that's that followed up from 853 00:41:31,760 --> 00:41:32,760 playing. 854 00:41:32,760 --> 00:41:33,760 Thank goodness you're here. 855 00:41:33,760 --> 00:41:38,280 And I was like, I'm enjoying it still, but there's a lot of fucking filler. 856 00:41:38,280 --> 00:41:43,360 It isn't all just do these main story missions. 857 00:41:43,360 --> 00:41:50,560 There's a lot of like, Oh, go fucking interact with some fucking like stenograph thing, which 858 00:41:50,560 --> 00:41:53,340 basically gives you a photo of a section in town. 859 00:41:53,340 --> 00:41:56,340 It's like, go find that and look at it again. 860 00:41:56,340 --> 00:42:00,840 And then you get experience points to develop yourself and fucking find little secrets around 861 00:42:00,840 --> 00:42:04,800 town and then you can go to a door and get a fucking sketchbook. 862 00:42:04,800 --> 00:42:09,920 Yeah, like image and then like a little paragraph about some little activity that you did in 863 00:42:09,920 --> 00:42:14,760 town and all you're doing that is I'm only doing that so I can get the XP so I can build 864 00:42:14,760 --> 00:42:15,960 my character a bit. 865 00:42:15,960 --> 00:42:19,040 I'm not doing that because I really feels like you're just putting it in there for the 866 00:42:19,040 --> 00:42:20,640 sake of fucking putting it in. 867 00:42:20,640 --> 00:42:26,480 Don't make big games and then just fill them with shit for the sake of filling it with 868 00:42:26,480 --> 00:42:27,480 shit. 869 00:42:27,480 --> 00:42:28,480 Yeah. 870 00:42:28,480 --> 00:42:32,600 Keep them, keep them short and sweet, but then make it meaningful. 871 00:42:32,600 --> 00:42:35,720 It's a balance that you're never going to be able to achieve. 872 00:42:35,720 --> 00:42:36,720 Pretty much. 873 00:42:36,720 --> 00:42:40,800 Some people will be happy for a longer game where you're just collecting shit. 874 00:42:40,800 --> 00:42:43,800 If you got rid of the longer games and then you weren't collecting shit and everything 875 00:42:43,800 --> 00:42:47,720 had depth and substance to it, there wouldn't be any long games. 876 00:42:47,720 --> 00:42:51,120 So therefore you'd get people complaining that there are no long games anymore. 877 00:42:51,120 --> 00:42:54,240 You go, well, I've spent 70 quid for fucking 15 hours worth of gameplay. 878 00:42:54,240 --> 00:42:55,240 It's bollocks. 879 00:42:55,240 --> 00:42:56,880 Or they take like six years to come out. 880 00:42:56,880 --> 00:42:57,880 Yeah. 881 00:42:57,880 --> 00:43:03,400 And then the games where they take so fucking long, like I say, it's very difficult for 882 00:43:03,400 --> 00:43:12,880 myself to speak so much about it because I complete so few long games. 883 00:43:12,880 --> 00:43:13,880 Yeah. 884 00:43:13,880 --> 00:43:17,800 Because I just can't be asked unless they, unless they genuinely grab hold of me. 885 00:43:17,800 --> 00:43:22,000 But even then games like The Last of Us, I thought were long as shit. 886 00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:23,000 They weren't. 887 00:43:23,000 --> 00:43:24,640 They're like 20 odd hours a piece. 888 00:43:24,640 --> 00:43:25,640 Yeah. 889 00:43:25,640 --> 00:43:28,040 And it was because me and Steph were playing them together and I wasn't seeing her all 890 00:43:28,040 --> 00:43:29,040 the time. 891 00:43:29,040 --> 00:43:30,040 So it was, it was a lot more broken up. 892 00:43:30,040 --> 00:43:32,720 If you're smashing through it, then you're going to see the end of it. 893 00:43:32,720 --> 00:43:33,720 Yeah. 894 00:43:33,720 --> 00:43:37,280 Or one that I must fucking play is Red Dead 2. 895 00:43:37,280 --> 00:43:42,240 Like playing complete because I have played it before because of how incredible everyone 896 00:43:42,240 --> 00:43:43,240 says that is. 897 00:43:43,240 --> 00:43:44,760 It's a fantastic, the story is fantastic. 898 00:43:44,760 --> 00:43:46,560 The protagonists are fantastic. 899 00:43:46,560 --> 00:43:51,320 There's little nigglies here and there and it's a fucking, and sometimes it's back and 900 00:43:51,320 --> 00:43:53,880 forth, but it is a fantastic game. 901 00:43:53,880 --> 00:43:57,280 And you've got the freedom to essentially, there's no fucking railroad in apart from 902 00:43:57,280 --> 00:43:58,760 the story, the story. 903 00:43:58,760 --> 00:44:02,360 But even then it's like, if you don't want to do a mission, you can just fuck about. 904 00:44:02,360 --> 00:44:03,360 Yeah. 905 00:44:03,360 --> 00:44:04,360 Sandbox it. 906 00:44:04,360 --> 00:44:05,360 Yeah. 907 00:44:05,360 --> 00:44:06,360 It is fantastic game. 908 00:44:06,360 --> 00:44:09,960 But another one that he has massive shoes. 909 00:44:09,960 --> 00:44:13,200 If you're not up for it, like Mark's, I don't know if he's still trying to play it, but 910 00:44:13,200 --> 00:44:16,240 if he was running a platinum, you'll be there fucking out forever. 911 00:44:16,240 --> 00:44:17,920 Well, he is trying to platinum it. 912 00:44:17,920 --> 00:44:18,920 That's what I mean. 913 00:44:18,920 --> 00:44:19,920 He's still not. 914 00:44:19,920 --> 00:44:20,920 I don't know. 915 00:44:20,920 --> 00:44:21,920 I don't think he has done that yet. 916 00:44:21,920 --> 00:44:25,960 I'd like to do another play for a Witcher three, but I haven't got it in me to fucking 917 00:44:25,960 --> 00:44:27,080 make the effort. 918 00:44:27,080 --> 00:44:29,000 That's another one that I just feel like I'm missing out on. 919 00:44:29,000 --> 00:44:30,320 It's a fucking huge. 920
