00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:10,920
Hello and welcome mystery searchers and gizmo solvers, art piece finders and little boys

2
00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:15,080
that hang out with guys that aren't actually detectives but do detective jobs.

3
00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:17,780
Alright, that's welcome.

4
00:00:17,780 --> 00:00:19,600
You're listening to Pocket Cast.

5
00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:20,600
Yes.

6
00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:23,560
My name is Fletcher, his name is Ed.

7
00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:29,360
He can be found at EunucH0rn, that's horn with a zero instead of an O.

8
00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:31,160
There we go.

9
00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:35,360
This is, you can reach me, I can get that.

10
00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:36,360
GappedtoothMF.

11
00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:37,840
That's right.

12
00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:39,160
On Twitter.

13
00:00:39,160 --> 00:00:45,560
We also have a Facebook page, I believe it's Pocket Cast with an exclamation mark at the

14
00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:46,560
end.

15
00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:47,920
There's a space between Pocket and Cast.

16
00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:48,920
I think so.

17
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:56,360
There's a little confusion if you look at our artwork versus our name, those two are

18
00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:57,360
different.

19
00:00:57,360 --> 00:01:03,320
There is another Pocket Cast that's out there, but they don't have a space and we have a

20
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:05,400
space and that's what makes the difference.

21
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:07,360
Honestly, those guys kind of suck.

22
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:08,960
I haven't actually listened to it.

23
00:01:08,960 --> 00:01:09,960
I haven't even looked at it.

24
00:01:09,960 --> 00:01:10,960
I bet it's okay.

25
00:01:10,960 --> 00:01:17,360
I hate to just draw some shade on what could be a really good seven episode podcast.

26
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:19,640
Maybe they got their mission done.

27
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:21,820
That's it, they got it.

28
00:01:21,820 --> 00:01:27,320
Maybe once we hit nine episodes they're like, oh, your Pocket Cast.

29
00:01:27,320 --> 00:01:28,320
Our bad.

30
00:01:28,320 --> 00:01:30,200
Then we'll start getting publicity.

31
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:33,680
It's going to take off.

32
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:35,320
Jay Leno could be in our future.

33
00:01:35,320 --> 00:01:37,000
It's so funny that you say that.

34
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:42,960
I grew up watching Jay Leno, sneaking down at night to watch Jay Leno.

35
00:01:42,960 --> 00:01:48,040
It's so funny to look back on it because I had no idea what they were talking about at

36
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:49,040
all.

37
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:54,480
Not a clue, but for some reason I just loved the talk show atmosphere and it was a late

38
00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:55,480
night TV show.

39
00:01:55,480 --> 00:02:03,720
I don't know what shows my parents used to watch after I went to bed.

40
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:05,080
So memory is funny, right?

41
00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:09,160
You alter it without realizing that you alter it.

42
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:15,160
Either I have a memory of watching it on the stairs.

43
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:20,200
From our house in Iowa we could watch the TV on the staircase.

44
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:22,640
Were you watching it through the reflection of a picture?

45
00:02:22,640 --> 00:02:23,640
No, no.

46
00:02:23,640 --> 00:02:26,520
There was a line of sight.

47
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:34,600
There was a door way that you could go through.

48
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:37,640
There's no doors or anything, but it was just that big opening.

49
00:02:37,640 --> 00:02:42,040
So part of the TV you could see from the stairs.

50
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:44,680
I thought that's where you were going with it for a second and I was like, oh God, I'm

51
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:49,400
about to question my entire childhood because I have a distinct memory of sitting on the

52
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:54,360
top step of the stairs and being able to watch TV through the reflection of a picture hanging

53
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:57,360
on the wall or something.

54
00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:01,320
I could have, I guess, because we had pictures hanging there, but there was no need to.

55
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:04,280
Yeah, no need to obfuscate on my account.

56
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:11,160
I think if you can see the reflection you can probably see the original image, right?

57
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:12,560
I don't remember what I watched.

58
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:18,520
I do remember, was it the Twilight Zone or something maybe my parents were watching?

59
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:19,840
I don't remember.

60
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:22,440
I don't think your parents were watching the Twilight Zone.

61
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:23,440
I remember.

62
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:24,440
That's a good point.

63
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:26,880
You didn't, you weren't a baby in the seventies.

64
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:29,400
I don't even know when the Twilight Zone came out.

65
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:30,760
Maybe it's later than that.

66
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:32,000
It's black and white though.

67
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:36,480
So I don't feel like it's like, I feel like it's fair to say it's sixties.

68
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:37,480
Yeah.

69
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:39,480
I could have been watching reruns.

70
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:40,760
Yeah, it could have been reruns.

71
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:41,760
I watched so many reruns.

72
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:42,760
I remember murder mysteries.

73
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:43,760
Right?

74
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:44,760
Isn't that just the name of it?

75
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:45,760
Murder mysteries?

76
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:46,760
It could be.

77
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:47,760
I don't know.

78
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:54,440
I just had like a partially animated intro for like an adult late night TV show.

79
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:55,880
I don't know anything about it.

80
00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:59,480
I feel like my family was always trying to get a deal on TV.

81
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:03,760
And so for a while we had like, I want to say it was like Canadian direct TV or something.

82
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:08,040
I don't know why, but we had all these Canadian channels and TV shows.

83
00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:09,040
Interesting.

84
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:11,800
Ghost Rider was one of them.

85
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:13,440
Like the TV show or like?

86
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:16,240
Yeah, it was a TV show called Ghost Rider.

87
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:23,360
And it was like where this ghost could take, say for this, there's an ACD poster hanging

88
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:24,360
behind Ed.

89
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:28,000
And at the top it says AC, lightning bolt DC.

90
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,280
And the bottom it says for those about to rock.

91
00:04:30,280 --> 00:04:37,480
So Ghost Rider would be able to take only those letters and create a message for these

92
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:41,560
kids that were trying to solve a mystery because this ghost was like helping them all the time

93
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:42,560
solve mysteries.

94
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:46,640
But the only way he could communicate was through like what letters he'd already been

95
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:48,840
given in certain scenarios.

96
00:04:48,840 --> 00:04:49,840
Interesting.

97
00:04:49,840 --> 00:04:50,840
Yeah.

98
00:04:50,840 --> 00:04:51,840
Yeah.

99
00:04:51,840 --> 00:04:52,840
You have never heard of that?

100
00:04:52,840 --> 00:04:54,440
No, no one has cause it's Canadian TV.

101
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:56,120
I'm sure Canadians have heard of it.

102
00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:58,960
I'm sure there's some people up North that are like, fuck.

103
00:04:58,960 --> 00:04:59,960
Yeah.

104
00:04:59,960 --> 00:05:00,960
Ghost Rider was my shit.

105
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:04,200
There's a show called Reboot that I really liked.

106
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:05,200
That's really cool.

107
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:10,320
It's about programs inside of a computer.

108
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:20,100
And it's some of the earliest like CGI television show like going on and it's nineties.

109
00:05:20,100 --> 00:05:24,560
So it doesn't look great, but it doesn't look great.

110
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:25,560
All right.

111
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:26,560
That's fair.

112
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:30,680
But it's once again, one of those like it was mainly broadcast in Canada and eventually

113
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:31,960
it was brought down to America.

114
00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:34,160
I think Cartoon Network might've picked it up eventually.

115
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:35,480
Oh no shit.

116
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:39,480
But for the longest time I'd seen it years before because of this weird ass Canadian

117
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:40,480
television.

118
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:41,480
Oh yeah.

119
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:42,480
That's awesome.

120
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:45,920
Man, we lost track there.

121
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:48,280
No, we found the track.

122
00:05:48,280 --> 00:05:49,280
We are Pocket Cats.

123
00:05:49,280 --> 00:05:50,280
Yeah.

124
00:05:50,280 --> 00:05:51,280
What did we do?

125
00:05:51,280 --> 00:05:52,680
We do a podcast.

126
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:58,360
About the DS and the DS library, all of the North American games.

127
00:05:58,360 --> 00:05:59,360
Yeah.

128
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:00,360
We're playing them all.

129
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:03,360
I'm open to other games too.

130
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:05,640
What are you telling me right now?

131
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:11,720
I'm not saying I'm going to add in Japanese games because obviously we wouldn't have fun.

132
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:12,720
I mean maybe we...

133
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:17,120
There's some I'm sure that you can play without translation, but I'm sure there's a lot of

134
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:18,120
good games.

135
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:19,120
Yeah.

136
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:20,120
That's what I'm saying.

137
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:21,120
Yeah.

138
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:22,120
Yeah.

139
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:24,320
But if there's like a European game.

140
00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:28,960
Oh, well it's funny you mentioned that because I don't know if you picked up on this, but

141
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:33,480
we've just played the UK version of Professor Layton and the Curious Village.

142
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:34,760
I did not pick up on that.

143
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:35,760
Everything was in pounds.

144
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:39,440
Now, I didn't think anything of it other than like, oh, maybe they just picked a monetary,

145
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:40,440
or not monetary.

146
00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:45,760
I mean, yes, a monetary system, but an arbitrary monetary system from another country.

147
00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:48,160
Obviously the professor is like, they're not American.

148
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:50,880
No, everyone's very clearly like...

149
00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:53,280
Eastern European or European.

150
00:06:53,280 --> 00:06:55,320
I don't know, but it's not...

151
00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:56,320
So that would...

152
00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:57,320
It made sense to me.

153
00:06:57,320 --> 00:06:58,760
The little kid at one point says, core blimey.

154
00:06:58,760 --> 00:06:59,760
So...

155
00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:03,960
I don't even know what that means.

156
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:04,960
I know what blimey means.

157
00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:11,400
I recognize it as an expression, but I don't know that I could give you a direct translation

158
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:13,040
of it.

159
00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:19,240
This past two weeks, this fortnight, we played Professor Layton and the Curious Village.

160
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:20,240
Woo!

161
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:23,360
Bro, I was so pumped for this game.

162
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:27,240
I was too, especially after our last two games.

163
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:29,960
This was definitely nice going in.

164
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:34,240
Booting up and seeing, is it level five, is that what the studio is called?

165
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:35,240
That's the developer.

166
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:36,240
The developer.

167
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:38,200
Level five is just...

168
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:40,920
They have so many great games.

169
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:43,360
So seeing level five instantly, I'm just like, fuck.

170
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:44,360
Let's go.

171
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:45,360
Yes, let's do this.

172
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:49,600
They made a game that we talked about on the first episode, the Attack of the Friday Monsters.

173
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:50,600
So that's one of my...

174
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:52,320
They didn't, sorry, they published that game.

175
00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:54,040
They didn't develop that game.

176
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:58,800
But there is a heir to level five games.

177
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:03,280
The first game on their list of developed games is Dark Cloud.

178
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:05,560
Did you ever see Dark Cloud?

179
00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:12,880
It was a very cool action RPG on the PlayStation 2 that I remember watching my cousin Casey

180
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:13,880
play.

181
00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:14,880
A ton.

182
00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:18,080
I remember it was very specific summer vacation.

183
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:20,680
He would play a game that nobody's heard of on the PlayStation.

184
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:21,680
I don't think...

185
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:24,520
I'm going to back you up there and say that that's not...

186
00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:25,520
No one's ever heard of it.

187
00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:29,720
I think a lot of people have a very special place for Dark Cloud.

188
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:32,480
Maybe Dark Cloud 2 is specifically what I'm thinking of.

189
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:38,240
But those two games, people really appreciate and enjoy.

190
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:39,240
And then there's...

191
00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:40,400
Do they have a DS title?

192
00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:41,880
For the Dark Cloud series?

193
00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:42,880
Yeah.

194
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:43,880
I don't know.

195
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:44,880
I didn't do too much digging.

196
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:48,720
I just kind of went through the list of level five, just curious of what they'd put out.

197
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:53,960
And besides these three games, I can't think of much else now.

198
00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:57,040
To my knowledge, they did do all the other Professor Layton games.

199
00:08:57,040 --> 00:08:58,040
Oh yeah.

200
00:08:58,040 --> 00:08:59,040
Oh yeah.

201
00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:02,160
And they just have quite the presence on Nintendo.

202
00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:08,280
Dude, it was a clean polish through and through.

203
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:12,280
You were really surprised, I remember saying to me about the sound.

204
00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:13,640
Oh dude.

205
00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:21,640
So especially after rating our first couple of games fairly well from an audio perspective,

206
00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:27,320
either from their music and the composition or the quality, what...

207
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:28,320
Bro.

208
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:29,600
The first...

209
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:39,360
You start a new save file and immediately you're met with pretty damn good full dub.

210
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:41,480
Fully animated cut scene.

211
00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:42,480
It was insane.

212
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:44,520
Oh my God.

213
00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:45,800
I was jumping up and down.

214
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:47,400
I was like, holy shit.

215
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:48,680
I didn't know it could do this.

216
00:09:48,680 --> 00:09:49,680
It looks so good too.

217
00:09:49,680 --> 00:09:51,800
It's so nice.

218
00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:52,800
It's beautiful.

219
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:53,800
It's beautiful.

220
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:56,320
Dude, it's putting everything to shame.

221
00:09:56,320 --> 00:10:01,360
And I'm like, oh no, we should have not played this game so early on.

222
00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:03,400
But it was a breath of fresh air.

223
00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:04,400
I will.

224
00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:13,160
I'm curious of what you think about the cut scenes actually, because we got our first

225
00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:17,560
two games were from 2009.

226
00:10:17,560 --> 00:10:25,000
This game is probably, I'm going to say 2005, maybe even earlier than that.

227
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:28,640
And I think because of that in the cut scenes, the opening cut scenes, I almost feel like

228
00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:31,640
Soul of Two Robos is better.

229
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:38,320
I feel like both of the last two games is almost better only in the lack of pixelization,

230
00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:42,600
because there's a little bit of pixelization that you get with the Professor Layton cut

231
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:43,800
scenes.

232
00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:45,960
But the art style...

233
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:46,960
The art style.

234
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:48,560
It's so good that it doesn't matter.

235
00:10:48,560 --> 00:10:50,200
I have to give it to...

236
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:55,520
Hold on, let me look and see who it was.

237
00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:57,040
There was a studio that did...

238
00:10:57,040 --> 00:11:02,640
It was PA Works, Progressive Animation Works, did all the animations for the various cut

239
00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:04,640
scenes in the game.

240
00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:12,440
And I feel like I don't want to disagree with you about Soul of Two Robo and the quality

241
00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:17,680
and how high they were ascending heights with those animations.

242
00:11:17,680 --> 00:11:19,120
Well, they were a bunch of later on.

243
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:20,120
True, true.

244
00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:23,680
Yeah, the technology is thoroughly established at this point, sure.

245
00:11:23,680 --> 00:11:28,920
But I feel like the difference between is at that point it was known, this is what we

246
00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:32,200
can do on this platform with these animations.

247
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:35,160
And I feel like Professor Layton was like, we don't give a shit.

248
00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:36,160
This is our art style.

249
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:38,000
This is where everything is going.

250
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:40,760
Everything is thoroughly fleshed out.

251
00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:45,240
And I felt like, was it as visually impressive at times as some of the stuff from Soul of

252
00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:46,240
Two Robo?

253
00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:47,240
Maybe not.

254
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:49,680
But dude, it was just clean and crisp the whole time.

255
00:11:49,680 --> 00:11:53,800
And the consistency too.

256
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:56,760
It has such atmosphere to it.

257
00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:58,560
And we love some atmosphere.

258
00:11:58,560 --> 00:12:02,840
I know you and I both are all about the atmosphere in a game.

259
00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:12,800
And that did such a great job of the characters staying individual, all strange in their own

260
00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:13,960
way.

261
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:20,400
But within this universe, it made sense that each one would be in this town, this tiny

262
00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:22,520
little town of, do you remember what it was called?

263
00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:23,520
Saint Mystere?

264
00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:24,520
Saint Mystere.

265
00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:25,520
Saint Mystere.

266
00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:26,520
Yeah.

267
00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:27,560
That was...

268
00:12:27,560 --> 00:12:29,400
It's a cute little game, man.

269
00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:32,340
I've had this, this title has been on my radar.

270
00:12:32,340 --> 00:12:36,680
Maybe not this title specifically, but at least the Professor Leighton series.

271
00:12:36,680 --> 00:12:41,400
It's always one that I was aware of growing up and I knew of.

272
00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:43,520
Never once dipped my toe in.

273
00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:46,440
Never really had an opportunity to as a kid.

274
00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:49,800
And then by the time I'm an adult, it's not on my radar at all.

275
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:50,800
I'm like, oh, that sounded cool.

276
00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:55,160
Don't know that I'd ever invest the time intentionally to go back and check it out.

277
00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:56,560
So I didn't really know what to expect.

278
00:12:56,560 --> 00:13:04,400
I knew it carried an air of a game for smart people, but I didn't even know necessarily

279
00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:05,840
what that meant.

280
00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:10,080
That was an impression I had of it.

281
00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:12,400
For me, it kind of lived in the same stream as...

282
00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:14,400
What are those games?

283
00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:15,400
Ace Attorney?

284
00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:16,400
Yeah.

285
00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:20,200
It was a Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney.

286
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:21,200
Yeah.

287
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:22,880
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

288
00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:23,880
Never played any of them.

289
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:27,040
But yeah, I didn't really know what to expect.

290
00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:31,280
Well, they do have a crossover, the Phoenix Wright.

291
00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:33,080
I don't know if they're made by...

292
00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:37,000
I have to assume they're developed by the same studio in order to have that kind of

293
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:38,000
crossover.

294
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:40,440
Yeah, I don't know the realities behind it.

295
00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:41,440
I'm not sure.

296
00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:48,320
It's definitely a title that sticks out in the DS.

297
00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:51,480
When people talk about the DS, that feels like Professor Leighton is always brought

298
00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:52,480
up.

299
00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:53,480
Yeah, 100%.

300
00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:58,520
That's one of the things that kept coming to mind for me is just when I think of DS,

301
00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:03,600
especially with the exposure to various marketing that I had as a kid, Professor Leighton is

302
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:08,240
one of those titles that I remember being there and I remember seeing and hearing about,

303
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:11,280
but just never personally had the chance to play.

304
00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:13,520
But God, it is a cool game.

305
00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:18,720
Do you still feel like it's a game for smart people going into it, having played it, now

306
00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:20,520
having to beat the game actually?

307
00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:22,240
Oh yeah, I did beat it.

308
00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:23,840
You did beat it.

309
00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:25,520
I did.

310
00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:28,360
Yes and no.

311
00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:33,000
I don't want to gatekeep puzzles because at the core of the game, that's all this is,

312
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:35,160
it's just a brain teaser game.

313
00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:40,800
But the puzzles are woven into a fairly involved storyline and you've got, like you said, interesting

314
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:44,880
characters to meet and stuff.

315
00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:46,680
No, I wouldn't.

316
00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:49,520
I would say I definitely struggled with some of the puzzles.

317
00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:57,120
I recognized a large handful of them, whether or not I knew the solutions already or what

318
00:14:57,120 --> 00:15:03,680
have you, but you can definitely cheese some of the stuff in here.

319
00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:08,640
Yeah and you can, because they give you, so I guess to break down the basics of Professor

320
00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:15,640
Leighton before we get into discussing this, you've got a point and click adventure.

321
00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:16,640
Basically.

322
00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:23,720
Where every cut, every scene that you come across that you can interact with, there's

323
00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:34,320
probably two to three puzzles in and they can vary from riddles to math equations to

324
00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:37,320
geometry.

325
00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:39,400
A lot of logic stuff.

326
00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:45,600
Logic is, there's a lot of, so there's a really, if you don't like one style, you're not going

327
00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:52,000
to be deterred because there's a third of the other style that you will probably enjoy.

328
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:53,960
And you can skip puzzles straight up.

329
00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:54,960
There's a lot.

330
00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:55,960
If you're not having it.

331
00:15:55,960 --> 00:16:01,880
I'd be curious to see how many puzzles you actually have to solve to complete the game.

332
00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:06,160
I came across, and I know you came across a couple, but there are a couple of sections

333
00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:14,920
of the game where you basically get hit with a wall, if you will, progress wall woods.

334
00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:18,120
You have to have so many completed puzzles to continue.

335
00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:20,680
I didn't think about that.

336
00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:24,760
But there's definitely more you would encounter more than you needed to get there.

337
00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:28,480
I don't know what the gap is between how many you're presented with versus how many you

338
00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:33,840
need to progress, but it's reasonable.

339
00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:45,240
And so you're a professor Layton accompanied by Luke is boy assistant.

340
00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:46,240
Yeah.

341
00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:49,760
Self-proclaimed attache or.

342
00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:50,760
I love him.

343
00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:51,760
I love Luke.

344
00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:55,240
He's got such a spunk to him.

345
00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:58,200
The professor is very laid back, very cool.

346
00:16:58,200 --> 00:16:59,200
Sherlock Holmes type character.

347
00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:00,200
Sherlock Holmes, Debonair.

348
00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:03,200
Dude, he's a, oh, he's a gentleman.

349
00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:07,480
And it's almost comical, like the stereotypes that apply to these guys.

350
00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:08,960
And I think it's intentional.

351
00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:09,960
Oh yeah.

352
00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:15,120
But they're woefully loving characters and you just cannot help but really like these

353
00:17:15,120 --> 00:17:16,120
guys.

354
00:17:16,120 --> 00:17:19,840
And they just, they're out there for the most purest of intentions because they love the

355
00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:20,840
heart of the mystery.

356
00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:22,520
They love solving shit.

357
00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:24,960
And they like to help people.

358
00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:25,960
Yeah.

359
00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:27,720
It's great.

360
00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:34,600
There's no room for questions or wondering why is this well-grown man hanging out with

361
00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:35,600
this kid?

362
00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:39,640
I mean, dude, that kid's gotta be what eight?

363
00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:40,640
Yeah.

364
00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:41,640
But he's a boy genius.

365
00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:42,640
He's obviously a boy genius.

366
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:43,640
He's a little savant.

367
00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:51,160
Saving these weird riddles and shit with this older professor.

368
00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:52,160
Yeah.

369
00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:53,160
And you.

370
00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:54,160
I'll say that man's credentials.

371
00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:56,200
He's a professor.

372
00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:59,840
Someone thinks he's a detective, but he's not, not a detective.

373
00:17:59,840 --> 00:18:05,040
He's just a lover of puzzles.

374
00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:09,520
So the professor and Luke get an invitation to.

375
00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:11,240
St. Mystere.

376
00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:16,560
St. Mystere to help with a mystery.

377
00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:17,560
I'm curious.

378
00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:20,920
Do you think the story is all that important?

379
00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:25,600
So at the heart of the gameplay, irrelevant.

380
00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:31,800
But the story is what had me pushing through.

381
00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:35,920
For me, it was a mixture of I want to know what's going on because I would say it about

382
00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:37,280
the halfway mark.

383
00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:42,200
I thought I had a pretty good idea of what I thought was actually going on.

384
00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:48,840
And you know, I'm fairly autistic and I like to think that I know where a movie's going

385
00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:50,760
halfway through, right?

386
00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:51,880
Or whatever the case may be.

387
00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:56,280
So I really wanted to see if I was right.

388
00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:58,280
I thought the story was endearing.

389
00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:03,080
I thought it was charming and I thought it had more than enough to propel you through

390
00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:09,400
having to just ram your head against some of these puzzles that were either really difficult

391
00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:12,120
or maybe possibly slightly poorly worded.

392
00:19:12,120 --> 00:19:13,120
And you're not sure.

393
00:19:13,120 --> 00:19:16,520
Like, I know what the answer is, but I'm not presenting it how it wants it.

394
00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:19,040
You know, the pacing was very nice there.

395
00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:20,040
Yeah.

396
00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:25,320
I quite liked it because I would really stump on one and then I'd breeze through two and

397
00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:27,080
I'm like, oh, I'm a fucking genius.

398
00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:33,440
Well, I mean, even the pacing with the story where it brings in where all of a sudden you're

399
00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:38,360
just tired of the puzzles, not even tired of them, just tired of getting your ass kicked

400
00:19:38,360 --> 00:19:40,680
by the puzzles.

401
00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:45,440
And then you get a little bit of humor and intrigue.

402
00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:46,440
Yeah, I do.

403
00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:47,800
I enjoyed the story.

404
00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:55,320
I just felt that it was very mundane compared to the characters that it presented.

405
00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:58,280
The characters were excellent.

406
00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:03,440
And I, I would like to take a second to talk about my favorite one.

407
00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:04,440
Absolutely.

408
00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:05,440
Let's hear it.

409
00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:06,440
Did you ever meet Prashuto?

410
00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:11,200
Prashuto is the little weirdo that eats all the trash and food in his house.

411
00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:13,560
His house is just like trash.

412
00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:17,760
So you should at some point, you should check out my Twitter profile because I finally put

413
00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:21,160
a pro like a picture and it is of him.

414
00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:22,160
Awesome.

415
00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:24,240
Dude, I love this dude.

416
00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:30,240
He's just this little short, slightly pot bellied man with a little cap on and he doesn't

417
00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:32,520
give a shit about anything other than filling his face.

418
00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:36,480
You say short, but I feel like he's smaller than the nine year old.

419
00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:37,480
He's smaller than Luke.

420
00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:39,280
He's a pretty, he's a pretty slender guy.

421
00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:42,040
He's got a little tugboat on him.

422
00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:43,720
You know, yep.

423
00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:45,040
Little donut.

424
00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:46,240
I liked, I liked Prashuto.

425
00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:47,240
I resonated with him.

426
00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:52,840
He's like, I don't, I don't leave my house, but to go to the market and buy copious amounts

427
00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:55,040
of cured meats.

428
00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:58,440
And I do not have time for whatever it is you want to talk to me about.

429
00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:02,960
He is so annoyed with anybody that's like, I'm eating.

430
00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:05,060
Leave me the fuck alone.

431
00:21:05,060 --> 00:21:08,480
I think my favorite was probably the butler.

432
00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:13,080
Arthur knows Matthew, Matthew.

433
00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:14,640
I did like him too.

434
00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:24,280
And his, something about his like just design, his 2d character design felt so aside from

435
00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:27,320
the stylization of literally everyone else.

436
00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:30,400
I thought, I don't know what it was.

437
00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:37,360
Everyone else typically had a lot of over pronounced, lengthy, like every, I felt like

438
00:21:37,360 --> 00:21:42,680
everybody was drawn out and had very slender and long gated pronunciations.

439
00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:45,720
Whereas Matthew is short stout, short stout, dude.

440
00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:50,240
It looks like Winnie the Pooh if you scrunched him down with your fingers.

441
00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:53,360
Very like just like scared looking guy.

442
00:21:53,360 --> 00:21:55,160
He's a great character.

443
00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:57,400
He's just concerned about everyone's wellbeing.

444
00:21:57,400 --> 00:22:01,080
Yeah, I could, I could feel Matthew's anxiety while playing the game.

445
00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:02,080
Absolutely.

446
00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:06,040
Anytime you see him, he's just like, Oh fuck.

447
00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:07,520
He was murdered on the grounds.

448
00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:09,920
Oh, this is my fault.

449
00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:10,920
I'm on duty.

450
00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:19,000
How would I let this happen to this family of amazing people who are terrible, God awful.

451
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:20,000
Yeah.

452
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:21,000
Yeah.

453
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:25,440
I said to you earlier, it reminds me of a Wes Anderson film.

454
00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:26,440
Yeah.

455
00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:27,440
Yeah.

456
00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:28,440
I, I couldn't agree more.

457
00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:33,160
It had a very Tim Burton-esque.

458
00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:35,640
Yeah with those slender weird characters.

459
00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:37,760
Two it's accentuations.

460
00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:40,000
Oh, I, I loved it.

461
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:42,000
I really enjoyed it too.

462
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:46,000
The presentation, the atmosphere, the puzzles.

463
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:51,000
Dude you have a favorite puzzle that you can think of?

464
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:58,240
So they had several variations of different degrees of difficulty of those.

465
00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:00,800
Man, I don't know.

466
00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:03,280
They're called like the slide, the block slide puzzles.

467
00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:04,280
Oh yeah.

468
00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:07,360
You have something in one corner and the goal is to get it to the other.

469
00:23:07,360 --> 00:23:14,240
And you've got blocks of various shapes on like a Tetris board and you only have so many

470
00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:18,920
free blocks with which to play and you have to rearrange everything and work the one thing

471
00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:20,680
from one side to the other.

472
00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:22,480
Some of them were stupid easy.

473
00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:24,440
And I did one of them.

474
00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:31,800
I did, I was into like 600 moves on just working the motherfucker out.

475
00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:36,040
But I do like those because you don't really know, you can come in with a strategy, but

476
00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:39,880
at the end of the day, it's just kind of, you've got to move stuff around and forget

477
00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:41,240
what you think you know.

478
00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:44,240
And I don't know.

479
00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:45,240
I like, I like those.

480
00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:46,240
Yeah.

481
00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:50,800
You definitely, you get like a line halfway cling together and it totally goes against

482
00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:53,280
your strategy that you had before.

483
00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:57,240
But at least now you have these three together that even if you had to move from way over

484
00:23:57,240 --> 00:24:02,000
there, I've got them grouped now and I somewhat have it figured out.

485
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:07,880
And then you get a twist thrown at you or you're like, I've undone half of my progress.

486
00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:11,080
I was so sure of my progress 10 seconds ago.

487
00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:14,360
And then now I'm realizing I'm where I started.

488
00:24:14,360 --> 00:24:15,360
If not worse off.

489
00:24:15,360 --> 00:24:16,360
Yeah.

490
00:24:16,360 --> 00:24:18,360
If not way worse off, I don't have time to restart.

491
00:24:18,360 --> 00:24:19,360
Yeah.

492
00:24:19,360 --> 00:24:20,360
What about you?

493
00:24:20,360 --> 00:24:22,360
Do you have a favorite?

494
00:24:22,360 --> 00:24:28,040
I think one of my favorites was one that I really disliked, but now that I think back

495
00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:34,840
on it, I really enjoy it was the, uh, the guard, the lazy guard that wants to take as

496
00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:38,800
few steps as possible through the, uh.

497
00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:39,800
That's right.

498
00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:40,800
It was the museum.

499
00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:42,040
He wants to take a few turns as possible.

500
00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:43,040
Right.

501
00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:47,520
He had nine rooms set up in a three by three block each, each with a door.

502
00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:50,720
It was almost, it was basically like one open room that had like.

503
00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:51,720
Yeah.

504
00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:52,720
Pillar.

505
00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:53,720
Yeah.

506
00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:54,720
Each of the points.

507
00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:55,720
Yeah.

508
00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:57,280
So they weren't that one.

509
00:24:57,280 --> 00:25:02,360
That one threw me for a second because I thought it should just be a circle at one point.

510
00:25:02,360 --> 00:25:03,360
He doesn't need to take any turns.

511
00:25:03,360 --> 00:25:08,760
It's not a turn if you're just always turning.

512
00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:13,640
It ends up being that like.

513
00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:14,640
Just go through them diagonally.

514
00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:15,640
Diagonally.

515
00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:18,640
And it's just so duh.

516
00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:19,640
It was duh.

517
00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:27,960
I felt like as far as the puzzles go, I felt like that's where the shortcoming of the representation

518
00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:32,280
of these puzzles and the DS itself came to play heavily.

519
00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:36,520
And it's for me, it was really the only time that I struggled with anything.

520
00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:43,520
And it wasn't on a lot of the puzzles, but there were a few where it was more of a free

521
00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:49,480
flow where you're not interacting with designated points on the puzzle as it's presented to

522
00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:50,800
you like you have these blocks.

523
00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:55,600
You can move them or you connect the dots or whatever it might be.

524
00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:59,600
You have to kind of draw something and it's a little bit more interpretive.

525
00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:04,240
And I feel like it was almost intentional to trip you up with you can do anything.

526
00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:06,920
Can you do anything the right way though?

527
00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:10,520
Did you run into the star puzzle that we had talked about?

528
00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:11,920
Holy shit.

529
00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:14,760
With all of the black and white diagonal.

530
00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:16,040
I did.

531
00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:17,920
I did.

532
00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:24,320
That's one where first of all, it's hard to see where the star is.

533
00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:31,880
And then from that point, drawing the star, the stylus is not very accurate.

534
00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:38,800
And I'm wondering because is this the touchscreen or is this because it's an earlier game that

535
00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:40,120
was figuring it out?

536
00:26:40,120 --> 00:26:44,400
Because I feel like in the last game we played where you could do some stylus controls, it

537
00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:45,720
was a bit more accurate.

538
00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:52,280
I still had some looseness to it, which you definitely when you run into a game where

539
00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:55,760
you have to draw a star, you have to outline something.

540
00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:59,120
You have to be fairly precise.

541
00:26:59,120 --> 00:27:01,840
I had to draw that one twice because I did finally find it.

542
00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:02,840
I did too.

543
00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:04,240
And then I had to do it twice.

544
00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:06,880
I drew it on there and it didn't take it.

545
00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:12,200
So I was like, fucking I'll look somewhere else and I'm looking all over for it and eventually

546
00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:14,760
realized that no, I just drew it roughly.

547
00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:15,760
Yeah.

548
00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:16,760
Yeah.

549
00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:21,440
I was in the same boat and I didn't even really change my approach when I outlined it the

550
00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:22,440
second time.

551
00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:25,200
I just was like, well, hopefully this one gets the algorithm right.

552
00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:26,200
And it did.

553
00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:27,200
Yeah.

554
00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:28,200
That's exactly how mine went too.

555
00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:29,200
Damn.

556
00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:30,200
That was a cool one.

557
00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:31,200
That was a really interesting one.

558
00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:32,200
I did like that one.

559
00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:35,960
There were, we talked about this earlier.

560
00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:40,440
There are some puzzles and these were probably amongst my least favorite, but also my favorite

561
00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:42,280
is depending.

562
00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:47,320
But some of the puzzles are logic and you have to, you know, you're just ruling stuff

563
00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:50,440
out trying to keep up and it's throwing you for a curve.

564
00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:52,400
Some of them are almost like word problems.

565
00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:57,080
Like you'd get in a third grade math class, but with a loophole somewhere and you just

566
00:27:57,080 --> 00:27:59,340
have to reread it a second time.

567
00:27:59,340 --> 00:28:05,080
And some of them are, this isn't really a puzzle as much as fuck you and just do it

568
00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:06,300
by hand.

569
00:28:06,300 --> 00:28:11,600
You have to slog through the atrocity of whatever tedious activity we've presented before you

570
00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:13,520
and you just have to not go cross-eyed.

571
00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:15,160
There is no trick to it.

572
00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:17,760
You just have to slog through and do the work.

573
00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:23,680
I think one of the best examples of that is that you run into multiple of these where

574
00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:33,840
it's, I was asking my dad how old he is and he's double the age plus 10.

575
00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:34,840
Yeah.

576
00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:40,040
And it's just like, and like you said, where you just have to write out and luckily you

577
00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:49,240
have the stylist and the bottom screen to just start writing out your equations.

578
00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:52,600
I am really, really bad at math.

579
00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:57,280
I'm pretty good with pretty good with words.

580
00:28:57,280 --> 00:29:00,680
Pretty good with the logic ones.

581
00:29:00,680 --> 00:29:01,960
Geometry I'm all right with.

582
00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:02,960
Yeah.

583
00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:10,560
I get into these figure out based on these three different algorithms, what the answer

584
00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:11,800
is going to be.

585
00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:16,600
And I just get so frustrated and instantly walk away from that puzzle.

586
00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:19,120
I feel that I am.

587
00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:22,560
I am fairly proud of my completion statistics.

588
00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:24,120
There were, I looked it up.

589
00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:28,720
I think there's 120 total puzzles.

590
00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:36,600
And I found it was I think 78 or 88, whatever the number was.

591
00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:38,360
I completed all but one that I found.

592
00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:40,600
I only skipped one.

593
00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:42,480
Do you know which one you skipped?

594
00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:43,640
Yeah.

595
00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:49,120
I don't remember exactly which one, but did you ever make it past the clock tower?

596
00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:50,120
Yes.

597
00:29:50,120 --> 00:29:51,120
Okay.

598
00:29:51,120 --> 00:29:52,120
Yeah.

599
00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:53,720
You would have had to because that's where prosciutto is.

600
00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:54,720
Yeah.

601
00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:55,720
Okay.

602
00:29:55,720 --> 00:29:58,400
So did you, do you ever talk to the, oh wait, no.

603
00:29:58,400 --> 00:30:00,320
This was in the tower, tower area.

604
00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:04,600
I think it's on the other side of the marketplace, which is past the clock tower.

605
00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:05,600
Yeah.

606
00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:06,600
Okay.

607
00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:10,240
There's, so there's the lady and she's looks like she's holding up like a hand of cards

608
00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:11,940
or something maybe.

609
00:30:11,940 --> 00:30:18,960
And she's just got weird pancake titties that are like up on her chin for some reason.

610
00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:24,120
Well she's holding some cards and the only puzzle she ever gave me were, were cards.

611
00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:27,560
And she only, like she only appeared like kind of pretty late in the game.

612
00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:31,600
And then she only reappeared for me even later in the game.

613
00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:37,720
But she only gave you like these weird card puzzles and it had, it was, one of them was

614
00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:42,660
I have, oh no, I do remember the exact one that I skipped.

615
00:30:42,660 --> 00:30:49,440
It was something to the effect of you put all 52 cards face down, randomly scrambled

616
00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:53,200
on the table plus one joker.

617
00:30:53,200 --> 00:31:00,440
What are the odds that you will pull all four aces before the joker?

618
00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:05,440
And I was like, no, I'm no, I don't know that math.

619
00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:09,800
So I pulled a hint and it's worth noting that every time you get a hint on one of these

620
00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:13,160
puzzles and the most I think you can ever get is three.

621
00:31:13,160 --> 00:31:16,000
I don't think all of them have three, but most do.

622
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:19,800
And it's only three, but every time you do, you have to use a hint coin and those can

623
00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:25,240
only be found by spamming random areas on a given location within the world and maybe

624
00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:26,440
there'll be a coin there.

625
00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:28,920
But there's a finite number of those anyway.

626
00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:33,920
So I burned through the hints and like the first hint was something to the effect of

627
00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:36,220
you don't need math to solve this one.

628
00:31:36,220 --> 00:31:37,680
Just think about it a different way.

629
00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:42,840
And I'm like, so I think I burned all three hints and they, I had no idea.

630
00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:47,680
I threw a couple of guesses in there and I was like, fuck that.

631
00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:49,920
Did you ever look up what the answer was?

632
00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:54,360
No, there were a couple that I think, I think two or three that I did look the answer up

633
00:31:54,360 --> 00:32:00,320
to and there were only ones that I was like very confident that I knew what was going

634
00:32:00,320 --> 00:32:04,180
on and thought that I was probably getting caught up on some weird gimmick that didn't

635
00:32:04,180 --> 00:32:06,880
translate well.

636
00:32:06,880 --> 00:32:08,280
One of those ended up being like that.

637
00:32:08,280 --> 00:32:11,880
I couldn't tell you which one and the other two, I was just dumb.

638
00:32:11,880 --> 00:32:12,880
Yeah.

639
00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:16,680
There's only one that I looked up and it was just me being dumb.

640
00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:17,680
Yeah.

641
00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:18,680
That, that always hurts your pride a little bit.

642
00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:23,440
Let's see if I can word this right.

643
00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:27,720
1000 of these equal two of these.

644
00:32:27,720 --> 00:32:28,720
Right.

645
00:32:28,720 --> 00:32:29,720
Right.

646
00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:30,720
Isn't that what it is?

647
00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:31,720
Yeah.

648
00:32:31,720 --> 00:32:35,800
And I just started thinking immediately, oh, Roman numerals X.

649
00:32:35,800 --> 00:32:40,960
Oh, that's actually, that's actually pretty, I mean, it's wrong.

650
00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:45,280
I mean, obviously it's wrong, but like, I mean, there's so many without with zero context

651
00:32:45,280 --> 00:32:47,400
and not having any other puzzles like that.

652
00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:49,040
Like it's you come into that.

653
00:32:49,040 --> 00:32:51,600
Like I have no idea even where this is starting.

654
00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:52,600
I'm thinking X.

655
00:32:52,600 --> 00:32:56,920
I'm thinking L. I'm thinking, you know, I'm thinking different, different Roman numerals

656
00:32:56,920 --> 00:33:02,120
and it ends up being spoiler alert.

657
00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:04,120
1000 millimeters.

658
00:33:04,120 --> 00:33:05,120
Yeah.

659
00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:06,880
One is one meter is a thousand.

660
00:33:06,880 --> 00:33:07,880
Yeah.

661
00:33:07,880 --> 00:33:12,400
And it makes it so, it's so, it's so obvious.

662
00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:17,920
I even at one point thought about centimeters, but see the CM.

663
00:33:17,920 --> 00:33:20,200
No, that doesn't work.

664
00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:21,600
I was right there.

665
00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:24,840
I had, I had the apple in my mouth, man.

666
00:33:24,840 --> 00:33:27,480
And I just missed it.

667
00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:31,280
Dude, this definitely, and I thought, I thought about, I think you said something about it

668
00:33:31,280 --> 00:33:37,520
last with the end of last, not last week, but our last episode about, you know, seeing

669
00:33:37,520 --> 00:33:41,160
this game or one of these titles as a kid and thinking that's a game for smart people

670
00:33:41,160 --> 00:33:42,880
or not being smart enough to play it.

671
00:33:42,880 --> 00:33:44,720
And I kept thinking about that this whole time.

672
00:33:44,720 --> 00:33:48,920
I was like, dude, I would have gotten nowhere in this game as a kid.

673
00:33:48,920 --> 00:33:52,560
Like I would have, I would have probably gotten a handful of these, but I would not have made

674
00:33:52,560 --> 00:33:53,560
a lot of forward progress.

675
00:33:53,560 --> 00:33:54,560
Yeah.

676
00:33:54,560 --> 00:33:58,520
I know as a high schooler, I did not, I don't think I made it very far at all.

677
00:33:58,520 --> 00:34:05,600
Just also realizing I was like, there's no way I'm going to make this through without

678
00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:10,240
looking up answers or using tons of hints.

679
00:34:10,240 --> 00:34:12,760
I did use a lot more hints than I wanted to in Michael Lime.

680
00:34:12,760 --> 00:34:13,760
Yeah.

681
00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:19,040
And at that point you're almost like, why am I bothering playing this game if I'm just

682
00:34:19,040 --> 00:34:21,440
going to look up the answers this time through?

683
00:34:21,440 --> 00:34:22,440
I did not do that.

684
00:34:22,440 --> 00:34:24,160
I felt fine using hints.

685
00:34:24,160 --> 00:34:28,560
You know, I was, yeah, I did, I did pretty well with, with hints.

686
00:34:28,560 --> 00:34:34,080
The only time where you run into a problem with hints is that there is a puzzle I want

687
00:34:34,080 --> 00:34:39,640
to solve, but I don't want to use my hint points because there's a, there's a puzzle

688
00:34:39,640 --> 00:34:43,280
I will have to solve in the future to progress the story.

689
00:34:43,280 --> 00:34:44,280
Yeah.

690
00:34:44,280 --> 00:34:46,360
It's gear fear, but with hint points.

691
00:34:46,360 --> 00:34:48,000
What is gear fear?

692
00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:49,000
Gear fear.

693
00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:54,160
Uh, I don't, I don't know that I could say with a hundred percent certainty that it was

694
00:34:54,160 --> 00:35:00,120
invented or coined for this genre of games, but I learned about it through playing games

695
00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:03,080
like Tarkov, like escape from Tarkov.

696
00:35:03,080 --> 00:35:09,040
Um, but the idea that you go into a raid, you pew pew and you collect loot and find

697
00:35:09,040 --> 00:35:10,920
some gear, you kill another player.

698
00:35:10,920 --> 00:35:11,920
Maybe he's got really good shit.

699
00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:16,000
So you pick it up and you only get to keep what you successfully exfil with.

700
00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:17,800
You die, you lose everything on you.

701
00:35:17,800 --> 00:35:18,800
Right?

702
00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:23,920
So the idea that you might amass some really dope shit, but if you take it in, you risk

703
00:35:23,920 --> 00:35:24,920
dying and losing it.

704
00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:25,920
And so you have gear fear.

705
00:35:25,920 --> 00:35:29,200
So you hold all this really good shit and you're too afraid to use it because you might

706
00:35:29,200 --> 00:35:30,200
die.

707
00:35:30,200 --> 00:35:31,200
Yeah, that's true.

708
00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:32,200
Yeah.

709
00:35:32,200 --> 00:35:33,200
Yeah.

710
00:35:33,200 --> 00:35:34,200
Yeah.

711
00:35:34,200 --> 00:35:35,200
But with, with hint coins.

712
00:35:35,200 --> 00:35:36,200
Yeah, absolutely.

713
00:35:36,200 --> 00:35:37,200
You absolutely have that feeling.

714
00:35:37,200 --> 00:35:41,400
I'll say at one point in the game at the beginning about hint coins, they tell you that they're

715
00:35:41,400 --> 00:35:42,400
hidden in these.

716
00:35:42,400 --> 00:35:43,840
Be curious places.

717
00:35:43,840 --> 00:35:49,000
The first one it gives you is, isn't it like a barrel that's kind of moving?

718
00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:50,600
Yeah, it's shaking.

719
00:35:50,600 --> 00:35:51,600
And so you click on it.

720
00:35:51,600 --> 00:35:52,760
Very misleading.

721
00:35:52,760 --> 00:35:54,160
Because the rest of them are.

722
00:35:54,160 --> 00:35:57,400
There are none that are like being or animated.

723
00:35:57,400 --> 00:35:58,880
It's just.

724
00:35:58,880 --> 00:36:03,520
And you also have where I go into the town itself.

725
00:36:03,520 --> 00:36:10,320
So you walk in the game is presented as hand drawn images.

726
00:36:10,320 --> 00:36:16,480
And there are then on top of it, some of the characters kind of in their idle animations.

727
00:36:16,480 --> 00:36:17,480
Yeah.

728
00:36:17,480 --> 00:36:23,080
And then you have a choice to interact with objects or you can click on the bottom right

729
00:36:23,080 --> 00:36:28,760
where you've got a shoe and that then will bring up arrows on your screen where you can

730
00:36:28,760 --> 00:36:31,320
decide where you're going to traverse.

731
00:36:31,320 --> 00:36:33,480
And it gives you, you know, there's only so many arrows.

732
00:36:33,480 --> 00:36:35,920
So you can't have a predetermined destination.

733
00:36:35,920 --> 00:36:39,760
Dude, late game, bro, late game arrows everywhere.

734
00:36:39,760 --> 00:36:40,760
Oh, yeah.

735
00:36:40,760 --> 00:36:45,080
The main the main place in the village, which I think starts out with two, two or three.

736
00:36:45,080 --> 00:36:46,080
Yeah.

737
00:36:46,080 --> 00:36:47,080
Oh, yeah.

738
00:36:47,080 --> 00:36:48,080
I think you're three because you're a big junction within the town.

739
00:36:48,080 --> 00:36:52,960
So you can go back or down and you go left and right at the end.

740
00:36:52,960 --> 00:36:54,960
There's also two buildings you can go into.

741
00:36:54,960 --> 00:36:56,620
You can go through the clock tower.

742
00:36:56,620 --> 00:36:59,840
And then I think there's actually another door at the very end.

743
00:36:59,840 --> 00:37:02,880
So there's like six arrows on screen and they're all right next to each other.

744
00:37:02,880 --> 00:37:03,880
It's pretty funny.

745
00:37:03,880 --> 00:37:11,960
So when you're when you're not moving around, you can click on different spots and sometimes

746
00:37:11,960 --> 00:37:12,960
they will.

747
00:37:12,960 --> 00:37:15,760
Your characters will make a comment about them.

748
00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:17,680
Sometimes they'll have a hidden puzzle in them.

749
00:37:17,680 --> 00:37:18,680
True.

750
00:37:18,680 --> 00:37:22,780
And sometimes they'll have the the coins.

751
00:37:22,780 --> 00:37:29,840
Now anytime you have a cut scene, is it a cut scene or a chapter end?

752
00:37:29,840 --> 00:37:31,560
So it depends.

753
00:37:31,560 --> 00:37:36,320
I noticed that the earlier parts of the game, like you have a lot of front loaded animated

754
00:37:36,320 --> 00:37:41,400
cut scenes setting up the story, blah, blah, blah.

755
00:37:41,400 --> 00:37:45,720
And then because the story does make a lot of moves where you find you, you know, you

756
00:37:45,720 --> 00:37:49,480
arrive at this place because you were invent or invented.

757
00:37:49,480 --> 00:37:50,480
Holy shit.

758
00:37:50,480 --> 00:37:52,040
You're invited.

759
00:37:52,040 --> 00:37:55,440
There's this challenge that's been distributed.

760
00:37:55,440 --> 00:37:56,440
The guy dies.

761
00:37:56,440 --> 00:38:00,280
He's like, oh, my God, whoever can solve these puzzles and find my golden apple will win

762
00:38:00,280 --> 00:38:01,720
my inheritance.

763
00:38:01,720 --> 00:38:05,480
And so people are all, oh, my God, we're gonna solve these fucking puzzles and get a lot

764
00:38:05,480 --> 00:38:06,480
of money.

765
00:38:06,480 --> 00:38:09,400
And so at the beginning, you have all these cut scenes setting it up.

766
00:38:09,400 --> 00:38:15,460
And then basically, you're given an objective and you try to hunt down that objective.

767
00:38:15,460 --> 00:38:20,440
And then usually after you finish the main objective, that's that concludes a chapter.

768
00:38:20,440 --> 00:38:24,580
And then you get a fairly drawn out cut scene introducing the next leg.

769
00:38:24,580 --> 00:38:29,000
And then it's that point and click moving around, solving these puzzles, talking to

770
00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:30,000
people.

771
00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:32,800
And then towards the end, there's a lot more cut scenes again.

772
00:38:32,800 --> 00:38:36,240
And there are some long cut scenes in there, bro.

773
00:38:36,240 --> 00:38:39,440
And I was stoked on every single one of them.

774
00:38:39,440 --> 00:38:41,760
I was never upset that there was a cut scene, dude.

775
00:38:41,760 --> 00:38:43,680
It was so awesome.

776
00:38:43,680 --> 00:38:44,680
It's good sign.

777
00:38:44,680 --> 00:38:45,680
Yeah.

778
00:38:45,680 --> 00:38:48,120
Very, very fucking pleased playing this game.

779
00:38:48,120 --> 00:38:49,120
I had so much fun.

780
00:38:49,120 --> 00:38:50,120
It was OK.

781
00:38:50,120 --> 00:38:51,120
It was all right.

782
00:38:51,120 --> 00:38:52,120
Yeah.

783
00:38:52,120 --> 00:38:56,120
It was wasn't Valorant, but you know, it was all right.

784
00:38:56,120 --> 00:38:59,200
I think I'll take this over Valorant.

785
00:38:59,200 --> 00:39:08,280
So anytime you have a cut scene or a chapter and your hint coins will reset, but like not

786
00:39:08,280 --> 00:39:11,440
in the same location where they were before.

787
00:39:11,440 --> 00:39:18,720
But spots that you've clicked, but spots that you've clicked before may now have a hint

788
00:39:18,720 --> 00:39:19,720
coin there.

789
00:39:19,720 --> 00:39:22,720
It's a little, a little tedious.

790
00:39:22,720 --> 00:39:23,920
It does get a little tedious.

791
00:39:23,920 --> 00:39:29,160
You end up just, you know, you come up on a place and you're just, you know, just missing

792
00:39:29,160 --> 00:39:30,920
a machine gunning the screen.

793
00:39:30,920 --> 00:39:38,680
And I don't think we've mentioned this, but it's worth noting a hundred percent stylus.

794
00:39:38,680 --> 00:39:41,840
This game does not have button controls.

795
00:39:41,840 --> 00:39:42,840
Doesn't have any?

796
00:39:42,840 --> 00:39:43,840
No.

797
00:39:43,840 --> 00:39:48,240
Not even for dialogue?

798
00:39:48,240 --> 00:39:50,320
You might be able to hit any or something.

799
00:39:50,320 --> 00:39:51,320
You might.

800
00:39:51,320 --> 00:39:54,600
But you may also be right that it is all 100 percent touch screen.

801
00:39:54,600 --> 00:39:59,040
Even from the main menu, you have to touch the screen to select new game, continue or

802
00:39:59,040 --> 00:40:00,040
whatever.

803
00:40:00,040 --> 00:40:01,040
The third bonus.

804
00:40:01,040 --> 00:40:02,040
Yeah, you're right.

805
00:40:02,040 --> 00:40:03,040
Yeah.

806
00:40:03,040 --> 00:40:05,440
There is no, there is no D pad controller button control.

807
00:40:05,440 --> 00:40:06,440
And I loved it.

808
00:40:06,440 --> 00:40:07,440
I fucking loved it.

809
00:40:07,440 --> 00:40:08,440
I didn't even know this.

810
00:40:08,440 --> 00:40:09,440
So I would say I enjoyed it too.

811
00:40:09,440 --> 00:40:10,440
Yeah.

812
00:40:10,440 --> 00:40:11,440
Good stuff.

813
00:40:11,440 --> 00:40:12,440
Polished.

814
00:40:12,440 --> 00:40:13,440
Good game.

815
00:40:13,440 --> 00:40:15,360
I loved it.

816
00:40:15,360 --> 00:40:20,920
And if you're going to have stylus controls, uh, adventure based puzzle game.

817
00:40:20,920 --> 00:40:21,920
Oh dude.

818
00:40:21,920 --> 00:40:22,920
Yeah.

819
00:40:22,920 --> 00:40:23,920
Perfect.

820
00:40:23,920 --> 00:40:24,920
This was perfect, dude.

821
00:40:24,920 --> 00:40:27,800
I would play RuneScape all day on this thing.

822
00:40:27,800 --> 00:40:33,480
There was a time when I had the 3DS and I was just trying so badly to find a hack or

823
00:40:33,480 --> 00:40:36,960
a way to play RuneScape on the 3DS.

824
00:40:36,960 --> 00:40:38,400
Dude, that'd be cool.

825
00:40:38,400 --> 00:40:44,040
I believe you can find some footage of people using back in the day.

826
00:40:44,040 --> 00:40:51,040
So there was a DS Brow web browser and you would get the game, the cartridge.

827
00:40:51,040 --> 00:40:57,480
And then the cartridge also came with a memory pack that would plug into the GBA slot to

828
00:40:57,480 --> 00:41:02,840
give it the extra memory that it needed to web browse.

829
00:41:02,840 --> 00:41:06,160
And so from there they would get on to RuneScape.

830
00:41:06,160 --> 00:41:07,160
It looked terrible.

831
00:41:07,160 --> 00:41:08,160
Super laggy.

832
00:41:08,160 --> 00:41:13,280
They're playing it on the web browser version, which you can't even do anymore.

833
00:41:13,280 --> 00:41:14,280
Oh no.

834
00:41:14,280 --> 00:41:15,280
Yeah, that's terrible.

835
00:41:15,280 --> 00:41:17,160
It looked pretty rough.

836
00:41:17,160 --> 00:41:21,000
And then I can't remember if I ever found anything on 3DS.

837
00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:25,680
I mean, I guess you could have done the same thing given the timeframe allowed for you

838
00:41:25,680 --> 00:41:27,800
to play it in a web browser.

839
00:41:27,800 --> 00:41:37,280
And I remember, I remember being in the computer lab in like probably ninth grade, just discovering

840
00:41:37,280 --> 00:41:39,480
RuneScape for the first time, dude.

841
00:41:39,480 --> 00:41:43,280
Cooking some shrimps.

842
00:41:43,280 --> 00:41:48,960
I wanted so badly to play that game and just know more about it.

843
00:41:48,960 --> 00:41:49,960
It looks so cool.

844
00:41:49,960 --> 00:41:52,600
I only played it like two or three times.

845
00:41:52,600 --> 00:41:58,040
Some dude gave me, he was like, hey man, I've been playing this game for a long time.

846
00:41:58,040 --> 00:42:00,080
Have a bunch of this shit that I have.

847
00:42:00,080 --> 00:42:01,080
It's really cool.

848
00:42:01,080 --> 00:42:06,160
And I'm pretty sure he gave me like an obby cape, like the obsidian cape and some other

849
00:42:06,160 --> 00:42:07,160
gear.

850
00:42:07,160 --> 00:42:08,680
I couldn't, I had no idea what it was.

851
00:42:08,680 --> 00:42:11,840
I was just like, oh sick, thanks dude.

852
00:42:11,840 --> 00:42:16,040
And then I got willy lured and PKed for everything, of course.

853
00:42:16,040 --> 00:42:19,160
And that was about it.

854
00:42:19,160 --> 00:42:21,160
Yeah then you walk away from the game.

855
00:42:21,160 --> 00:42:22,160
Yeah.

856
00:42:22,160 --> 00:42:24,600
I think I had a really similar experience of that.

857
00:42:24,600 --> 00:42:28,920
Dude, I don't think there's anybody who's played RuneScape that hasn't, honestly.

858
00:42:28,920 --> 00:42:30,160
No, no.

859
00:42:30,160 --> 00:42:33,680
I don't think I even actually got PKed.

860
00:42:33,680 --> 00:42:35,200
What'd you call it?

861
00:42:35,200 --> 00:42:36,200
Will-dy-lured.

862
00:42:36,200 --> 00:42:37,200
Oh, will-dy-lured.

863
00:42:37,200 --> 00:42:42,800
I got lured to the wilderness and got player killed by a baddie.

864
00:42:42,800 --> 00:42:44,800
By a baddie.

865
00:42:44,800 --> 00:42:52,280
I think I just got baited into like a monster I couldn't beat.

866
00:42:52,280 --> 00:42:55,960
And then they probably took all the shit from me.

867
00:42:55,960 --> 00:42:56,960
Yeah.

868
00:42:56,960 --> 00:42:57,960
Because I didn't come back in time.

869
00:42:57,960 --> 00:42:58,960
Yeah, dude.

870
00:42:58,960 --> 00:42:59,960
I wasn't playing games.

871
00:42:59,960 --> 00:43:05,760
Like I had probably watched my grandma play Ocarina of Time a couple of times and probably

872
00:43:05,760 --> 00:43:06,760
played it.

873
00:43:06,760 --> 00:43:07,760
In ninth grade?

874
00:43:07,760 --> 00:43:08,760
Yeah.

875
00:43:08,760 --> 00:43:12,760
So there's something that we haven't covered in the show at all here.

876
00:43:12,760 --> 00:43:21,760
There's some GameCube and stuff by that point, but I was like a vanilla Nintendo dog shit

877
00:43:21,760 --> 00:43:22,760
twin stick controls.

878
00:43:22,760 --> 00:43:23,760
What?

879
00:43:23,760 --> 00:43:24,760
I didn't know anything.

880
00:43:24,760 --> 00:43:32,040
I'm just saying that when I think of a gamer, I think of somebody that can play an FPS game,

881
00:43:32,040 --> 00:43:34,720
somebody that can play an RPG.

882
00:43:34,720 --> 00:43:38,520
A gamer to me is not somebody who likes to play Candy Crush on their phone.

883
00:43:38,520 --> 00:43:39,520
Right.

884
00:43:39,520 --> 00:43:40,520
That's a bored person.

885
00:43:40,520 --> 00:43:45,000
A gamer is somebody who likes games and is familiar with the various types of games out

886
00:43:45,000 --> 00:43:46,000
there.

887
00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:47,000
As a kid, I was not a gamer.

888
00:43:47,000 --> 00:43:50,360
I did have access to a few games.

889
00:43:50,360 --> 00:43:54,360
But you put me in front of something like RuneScape and I was like, this doesn't make

890
00:43:54,360 --> 00:43:55,360
sense to me.

891
00:43:55,360 --> 00:43:56,360
I don't understand the game.

892
00:43:56,360 --> 00:43:57,920
I don't understand where the game is coming from.

893
00:43:57,920 --> 00:44:02,840
I think that everyone feels that way with RuneScape.

894
00:44:02,840 --> 00:44:05,280
RuneScape is its own thing in that sense.

895
00:44:05,280 --> 00:44:06,280
Absolutely.

896
00:44:06,280 --> 00:44:07,280
Yeah.

897
00:44:07,280 --> 00:44:08,280
If you didn't grow up with like...

898
00:44:08,280 --> 00:44:12,920
If you don't have a wiki, if you're like, I didn't understand the pleasure in the game

899
00:44:12,920 --> 00:44:14,960
until I was showed the wiki.

900
00:44:14,960 --> 00:44:15,960
You have to play...

901
00:44:15,960 --> 00:44:21,640
Dude, I don't like to play RuneScape if I can't do it at my computer desk with two screens

902
00:44:21,640 --> 00:44:25,640
with a wiki on one side and a YouTube video in the corner.

903
00:44:25,640 --> 00:44:26,640
Yeah, absolutely.

904
00:44:26,640 --> 00:44:27,640
Gotta have it.

905
00:44:27,640 --> 00:44:30,680
But I wouldn't consider myself a gamer as a child.

906
00:44:30,680 --> 00:44:34,040
I think I would consider myself a gamer as a child.

907
00:44:34,040 --> 00:44:35,040
Yeah.

908
00:44:35,040 --> 00:44:38,680
I... even if I wasn't good at FPS or things like that.

909
00:44:38,680 --> 00:44:39,680
Yeah, you definitely don't have to be good.

910
00:44:39,680 --> 00:44:42,560
You don't have to be like, oh, I sweat, I twitch.

911
00:44:42,560 --> 00:44:48,160
And RPGs, I never really understood or appreciated until honestly kind of recently.

912
00:44:48,160 --> 00:44:53,320
I mean, until I was at least 18 and up, I feel like is when I really...

913
00:44:53,320 --> 00:44:58,320
I might have enjoyed one or two RPG games before that, but not commonplace.

914
00:44:58,320 --> 00:45:03,040
Yeah, I'd probably agree with you there.

915
00:45:03,040 --> 00:45:06,960
I was definitely a lot more into...

916
00:45:06,960 --> 00:45:07,960
I wanted to play Halo.

917
00:45:07,960 --> 00:45:08,960
I want to play Call of Duty.

918
00:45:08,960 --> 00:45:15,520
I wanted to play really anything at FPS that was cool and hip and it still is honestly.

919
00:45:15,520 --> 00:45:17,520
But I remember...

920
00:45:17,520 --> 00:45:23,040
Oh, I remember, I think it was one of my cousins or something.

921
00:45:23,040 --> 00:45:25,840
Got a copy of Perfect Dark for N64.

922
00:45:25,840 --> 00:45:26,840
Oh yeah.

923
00:45:26,840 --> 00:45:29,440
And I wanted to play it so bad.

924
00:45:29,440 --> 00:45:30,440
So bad.

925
00:45:30,440 --> 00:45:36,120
And I think I got in trouble or something or I did some shit and I was barred from playing

926
00:45:36,120 --> 00:45:37,120
for whatever reason.

927
00:45:37,120 --> 00:45:41,040
And we were going back home that day.

928
00:45:41,040 --> 00:45:42,040
I don't remember.

929
00:45:42,040 --> 00:45:44,560
All I remember is that I'm pretty sure it was Michael.

930
00:45:44,560 --> 00:45:46,400
Shout out, motherfucker.

931
00:45:46,400 --> 00:45:47,680
I'm pretty sure it was him.

932
00:45:47,680 --> 00:45:49,960
I think he got to play it and I didn't.

933
00:45:49,960 --> 00:45:52,000
I'm still butthurt about that, dude.

934
00:45:52,000 --> 00:45:53,320
I'm not going to lie.

935
00:45:53,320 --> 00:45:58,080
I have gone back and I watched some YouTube gaming clips of people playing through Perfect

936
00:45:58,080 --> 00:45:59,320
Dark.

937
00:45:59,320 --> 00:46:04,000
We actually had Perfect Dark when you and I lived together.

938
00:46:04,000 --> 00:46:09,120
You got the Rare package or something like that where it had Banjo-Kazooie.

939
00:46:09,120 --> 00:46:11,400
It had Perfect Dark on there.

940
00:46:11,400 --> 00:46:14,960
And I don't think any of us made it past the tutorial because it was so bad.

941
00:46:14,960 --> 00:46:15,960
It was dog shit, dude.

942
00:46:15,960 --> 00:46:16,960
It was dog shit.

943
00:46:16,960 --> 00:46:17,960
It's a really bad game.

944
00:46:17,960 --> 00:46:18,960
I do remember that.

945
00:46:18,960 --> 00:46:19,960
I must have blocked that out.

946
00:46:19,960 --> 00:46:24,560
I refuse to know that this game is not good.

947
00:46:24,560 --> 00:46:25,560
That's such a bummer.

948
00:46:25,560 --> 00:46:26,560
It is.

949
00:46:26,560 --> 00:46:27,560
That hurts.

950
00:46:27,560 --> 00:46:30,560
Man, I'm still wrecked about it.

951
00:46:30,560 --> 00:46:33,560
Dude, Michael, this is somehow your fault.

952
00:46:33,560 --> 00:46:38,400
There is something satisfying though about going back to a game on the opposite spectrum

953
00:46:38,400 --> 00:46:42,400
that was hard as a kid or didn't make sense at all.

954
00:46:42,400 --> 00:46:43,680
Are you smoking it now?

955
00:46:43,680 --> 00:46:46,600
No, going back and it still doesn't make sense and it's still hard.

956
00:46:46,600 --> 00:46:48,520
You're like, oh, I wasn't just a little kid.

957
00:46:48,520 --> 00:46:51,640
I also just fucking...

958
00:46:51,640 --> 00:46:53,200
This game sucks.

959
00:46:53,200 --> 00:46:58,320
Well, I feel like that would apply to any Zelda water dungeon.

960
00:46:58,320 --> 00:47:00,960
I've never had that much problem with the water.

961
00:47:00,960 --> 00:47:01,960
I just have to memorize at this point.

962
00:47:01,960 --> 00:47:02,960
They don't bother me that bad.

963
00:47:02,960 --> 00:47:03,960
Oh really?

964
00:47:03,960 --> 00:47:04,960
No.

965
00:47:04,960 --> 00:47:09,280
Did the Ocarina of Time one with the water levels and shit?

966
00:47:09,280 --> 00:47:12,440
It's almost the last level that you get into, right?

967
00:47:12,440 --> 00:47:16,680
No, I think that one's pretty early on because it's right after you get the three stones.

968
00:47:16,680 --> 00:47:18,640
I think it's one of your first...

969
00:47:18,640 --> 00:47:19,720
You might be thinking...

970
00:47:19,720 --> 00:47:23,280
I don't think the water temple is because you have to have your metal boots and all

971
00:47:23,280 --> 00:47:24,280
that shit.

972
00:47:24,280 --> 00:47:25,280
Metal boots, get the bottle.

973
00:47:25,280 --> 00:47:26,280
Your blue tunic.

974
00:47:26,280 --> 00:47:27,720
Or do you get that in the dungeon?

975
00:47:27,720 --> 00:47:28,720
I don't know.

976
00:47:28,720 --> 00:47:29,720
You might get it...

977
00:47:29,720 --> 00:47:30,720
It's either that or the scale.

978
00:47:30,720 --> 00:47:31,720
Either way though.

979
00:47:31,720 --> 00:47:32,720
Oh my God.

980
00:47:32,720 --> 00:47:33,720
Yeah, I don't remember.

981
00:47:33,720 --> 00:47:34,720
I know.

982
00:47:34,720 --> 00:47:37,120
I feel like by the time you get to the water temple, you're pretty set for it.

983
00:47:37,120 --> 00:47:42,120
Yeah, that one might be farther on, but it also might be mixing up its position in the

984
00:47:42,120 --> 00:47:43,120
timeline with the...

985
00:47:43,120 --> 00:47:44,120
What is it?

986
00:47:44,120 --> 00:47:45,120
Jabu Jabu's belly?

987
00:47:45,120 --> 00:47:47,000
Jabu Jabu's belly fucking sucks.

988
00:47:47,000 --> 00:47:48,000
That one is cancer.

989
00:47:48,000 --> 00:47:49,000
Absolutely.

990
00:47:49,000 --> 00:47:52,920
That's the reason to not play back through Ocarina of Time.

991
00:47:52,920 --> 00:47:57,800
You're playing Ocarina of Time, you get to the...

992
00:47:57,800 --> 00:48:06,040
What's that place called up on the canyon that's got the people that live in the volcano?

993
00:48:06,040 --> 00:48:07,040
Goron Village?

994
00:48:07,040 --> 00:48:08,040
Is that what it is?

995
00:48:08,040 --> 00:48:09,040
It's just called Goron Village.

996
00:48:09,040 --> 00:48:10,040
Goron Village, probably.

997
00:48:10,040 --> 00:48:11,040
Sure.

998
00:48:11,040 --> 00:48:12,040
It is now.

999
00:48:12,040 --> 00:48:14,720
Like up there on nearly Death Mountain.

1000
00:48:14,720 --> 00:48:17,520
You get back into that part and you're like...

1001
00:48:17,520 --> 00:48:22,720
But you get through it and you get through that little dungeon right there and the game

1002
00:48:22,720 --> 00:48:29,640
is great and then you have to go into Jabu Jabu's belly and it's the fucking worst.

1003
00:48:29,640 --> 00:48:30,640
That's whenever I stop playing.

1004
00:48:30,640 --> 00:48:31,640
Yeah, that one does suck.

1005
00:48:31,640 --> 00:48:33,640
That one is a pain in the ass.

1006
00:48:33,640 --> 00:48:35,480
It's your favorite game.

1007
00:48:35,480 --> 00:48:37,560
It is my favorite game and it still is.

1008
00:48:37,560 --> 00:48:38,560
I need to play through it again.

1009
00:48:38,560 --> 00:48:40,560
It's been a long time since I played through it.

1010
00:48:40,560 --> 00:48:42,560
In my free time, my copious free time.

1011
00:48:42,560 --> 00:48:46,560
I bet it's been 12 years at least.

1012
00:48:46,560 --> 00:48:48,560
Oh, it's not been that long for me.

1013
00:48:48,560 --> 00:48:51,560
I think I played through it probably four or five years ago.

1014
00:48:51,560 --> 00:48:52,560
Oh really?

1015
00:48:52,560 --> 00:48:53,560
Yeah.

1016
00:48:53,560 --> 00:48:54,560
Huh.

1017
00:48:54,560 --> 00:48:55,560
Well done.

1018
00:48:55,560 --> 00:48:57,560
That's what I'm trying to remember.

1019
00:48:57,560 --> 00:49:00,560
I still have those old GameCube copies.

1020
00:49:00,560 --> 00:49:03,560
Or you do.

1021
00:49:03,560 --> 00:49:04,560
Or my brother does.

1022
00:49:04,560 --> 00:49:05,560
Do you have my GameCube copy?

1023
00:49:05,560 --> 00:49:06,560
Somebody...

1024
00:49:06,560 --> 00:49:07,560
No, no, no.

1025
00:49:07,560 --> 00:49:08,560
I definitely have my own.

1026
00:49:08,560 --> 00:49:10,560
I need you to see if...

1027
00:49:10,560 --> 00:49:16,560
Well, I need you to see if you have some of my GameCube games.

1028
00:49:16,560 --> 00:49:17,560
Please.

1029
00:49:17,560 --> 00:49:20,560
I'm fairly certain I have your copy of Piano 3.

1030
00:49:20,560 --> 00:49:22,560
I'd love to have it.

1031
00:49:22,560 --> 00:49:27,560
And if I don't have it, it's because it's in my collection now and probably Michael has it.

1032
00:49:27,560 --> 00:49:30,560
Or Brennan might even have it.

1033
00:49:30,560 --> 00:49:31,560
It's somewhere though.

1034
00:49:31,560 --> 00:49:33,560
These Moran boys.

1035
00:49:33,560 --> 00:49:38,560
Every couple of years, one of us will just send the whole kit to somebody else and then

1036
00:49:38,560 --> 00:49:40,560
we'll play it for a couple years.

1037
00:49:40,560 --> 00:49:42,560
Like a few years back.

1038
00:49:42,560 --> 00:49:44,560
Well, that mystery solved.

1039
00:49:44,560 --> 00:49:48,560
Maybe we should get back to the case at hand.

1040
00:49:48,560 --> 00:49:49,560
The case.

1041
00:49:49,560 --> 00:49:50,560
The case indeed.

1042
00:49:50,560 --> 00:49:54,560
Do we even need to go through and rate this game?

1043
00:49:54,560 --> 00:49:57,560
I think we could just be like 9.9.

1044
00:49:57,560 --> 00:50:00,560
Honestly, I'm there.

1045
00:50:00,560 --> 00:50:02,560
9.9 all day.

1046
00:50:02,560 --> 00:50:07,560
Maybe 9.5 just because the Silas lacks a little bit here and there.

1047
00:50:07,560 --> 00:50:08,560
I really...

1048
00:50:08,560 --> 00:50:09,560
It's not bad.

1049
00:50:09,560 --> 00:50:11,560
I struggle to find a flaw.

1050
00:50:11,560 --> 00:50:12,560
Yeah.

1051
00:50:12,560 --> 00:50:19,560
I mean, honestly, the only time I could see somebody going, yeah, it wasn't really for

1052
00:50:19,560 --> 00:50:20,560
me.

1053
00:50:20,560 --> 00:50:21,560
It's because they don't like puzzles.

1054
00:50:21,560 --> 00:50:22,560
Yeah.

1055
00:50:22,560 --> 00:50:24,560
It's just not their flavor of game.

1056
00:50:24,560 --> 00:50:25,560
Yeah.

1057
00:50:25,560 --> 00:50:28,560
You just don't like the atmosphere.

1058
00:50:28,560 --> 00:50:35,560
The Wes Anderson weird kind of Tim Burton-esque feel.

1059
00:50:35,560 --> 00:50:36,560
Yeah.

1060
00:50:36,560 --> 00:50:39,560
I mean, if this shit's in your alley, big time recommend.

1061
00:50:39,560 --> 00:50:40,560
Yeah.

1062
00:50:40,560 --> 00:50:41,560
You'll love this.

1063
00:50:41,560 --> 00:50:44,560
Even if you don't like the DS or video games, you don't have to like video games.

1064
00:50:44,560 --> 00:50:46,560
There is a mobile version of this game.

1065
00:50:46,560 --> 00:50:47,560
Oh, really?

1066
00:50:47,560 --> 00:50:48,560
This specific game?

1067
00:50:48,560 --> 00:50:49,560
This specific title.

1068
00:50:49,560 --> 00:50:51,560
Professor Leighton and the Curious Village.

1069
00:50:51,560 --> 00:50:52,560
Wow.

1070
00:50:52,560 --> 00:50:53,560
Yeah.

1071
00:50:53,560 --> 00:50:54,560
That's cool.

1072
00:50:54,560 --> 00:50:55,560
Crazy, huh?

1073
00:50:55,560 --> 00:50:56,560
I did not know that.

1074
00:50:56,560 --> 00:50:57,560
Now, I will be honest.

1075
00:50:57,560 --> 00:50:59,560
I don't know for a fact that it is currently available.

1076
00:50:59,560 --> 00:51:01,560
It was at the time, though.

1077
00:51:01,560 --> 00:51:02,560
But yes.

1078
00:51:02,560 --> 00:51:07,560
I could look it up and tell you definitively, but I'm not your mom.

1079
00:51:07,560 --> 00:51:08,560
Do it yourself.

1080
00:51:08,560 --> 00:51:09,560
Yeah.

1081
00:51:09,560 --> 00:51:13,560
And if it's not, there's a lot of easy ways to get it onto your phone.

1082
00:51:13,560 --> 00:51:16,560
Well, that and there's like five or six other titles.

1083
00:51:16,560 --> 00:51:19,560
For various platforms, perhaps?

1084
00:51:19,560 --> 00:51:20,560
Yeah.

1085
00:51:20,560 --> 00:51:21,560
And the Switch has one, too.

1086
00:51:21,560 --> 00:51:26,560
You're no longer Professor Leighton, but you're a female Professor Leighton, basically.

1087
00:51:26,560 --> 00:51:27,560
Oh, sick.

1088
00:51:27,560 --> 00:51:28,560
Cool.

1089
00:51:28,560 --> 00:51:29,560
Yeah.

1090
00:51:29,560 --> 00:51:34,560
And this is a very loved series, obviously, for a good reason.

1091
00:51:34,560 --> 00:51:35,560
And it is.

1092
00:51:35,560 --> 00:51:39,560
God, I really want to check out others in the series.

1093
00:51:39,560 --> 00:51:40,560
We definitely will be.

1094
00:51:40,560 --> 00:51:41,560
Oh, yeah.

1095
00:51:41,560 --> 00:51:42,560
I look forward to it.

1096
00:51:42,560 --> 00:51:46,560
This is one of those games where I absolutely had my DS in my pocket.

1097
00:51:46,560 --> 00:51:48,560
I was hooked on these puzzles.

1098
00:51:48,560 --> 00:51:52,560
I'm not saying the story was bad or anything like that.

1099
00:51:52,560 --> 00:51:57,560
I'm just saying I could have given a shit about it because I was so into these puzzles

1100
00:51:57,560 --> 00:51:59,560
and so I wanted the next puzzle.

1101
00:51:59,560 --> 00:52:00,560
I need my fix, man.

1102
00:52:00,560 --> 00:52:01,560
I need a riddle.

1103
00:52:01,560 --> 00:52:02,560
Give me a riddle.

1104
00:52:02,560 --> 00:52:05,560
Send us your best riddle.

1105
00:52:05,560 --> 00:52:08,560
Did you ever figure out where the story was going?

1106
00:52:08,560 --> 00:52:11,560
No, I honestly had no real idea.

1107
00:52:11,560 --> 00:52:17,560
I figured maybe that the old man was kidnapping people and like helped hypnotizing them and

1108
00:52:17,560 --> 00:52:18,560
helped put them be better.

1109
00:52:18,560 --> 00:52:19,560
Can I spoil it for you?

1110
00:52:19,560 --> 00:52:20,560
Yeah, absolutely.

1111
00:52:20,560 --> 00:52:21,560
All right.

1112
00:52:21,560 --> 00:52:22,560
Spoiler alert right now.

1113
00:52:22,560 --> 00:52:25,560
If you don't want to know what's going down.

1114
00:52:25,560 --> 00:52:31,560
Well, I'll come in and post and tell you what time to tune in after we're done spoiling

1115
00:52:31,560 --> 00:52:32,560
it.

1116
00:52:32,560 --> 00:52:33,560
Yeah.

1117
00:52:33,560 --> 00:52:35,560
Maybe that's better than what I was going to suggest.

1118
00:52:35,560 --> 00:52:36,560
Maybe.

1119
00:52:36,560 --> 00:52:37,560
Yeah.

1120
00:52:37,560 --> 00:52:38,560
Maybe.

1121
00:52:38,560 --> 00:52:39,560
Maybe we're not like the next game is this.

1122
00:52:39,560 --> 00:52:43,560
I know that's the only reason you're listening.

1123
00:52:43,560 --> 00:52:44,560
Yeah.

1124
00:52:44,560 --> 00:52:45,560
Okay.

1125
00:52:45,560 --> 00:52:46,560
Yeah.

1126
00:52:46,560 --> 00:52:47,560
So spoiler for sure.

1127
00:52:47,560 --> 00:52:52,560
So the entire premise, the Baron dies.

1128
00:52:52,560 --> 00:52:55,560
His wife tragically had passed years prior.

1129
00:52:55,560 --> 00:53:01,560
They have this beautiful door or daughter Flora and he's just so worried that he's not

1130
00:53:01,560 --> 00:53:06,560
going to be able to keep her occupied and surrounded by positive people and she'll be

1131
00:53:06,560 --> 00:53:09,560
lonely after he's gone because he knows the time is coming.

1132
00:53:09,560 --> 00:53:15,560
And so Bruno, who was the unknown character that you were talking about earlier, the old

1133
00:53:15,560 --> 00:53:21,560
man with the sack that was seen kidnapping this guy Ramon and suspected of perhaps killing

1134
00:53:21,560 --> 00:53:24,560
Ramon.

1135
00:53:24,560 --> 00:53:31,120
Bruno and the Baron got together and the Baron commissioned Bruno to fabricate the entire

1136
00:53:31,120 --> 00:53:37,320
island of St. Mistier and all of the people, all the townsmen are all like animatronic

1137
00:53:37,320 --> 00:53:38,320
figures.

1138
00:53:38,320 --> 00:53:39,320
Oh no way.

1139
00:53:39,320 --> 00:53:43,400
And so he occasionally has to quote kidnap them in the, you know, in the middle of the

1140
00:53:43,400 --> 00:53:46,240
night to repair them when they break down.

1141
00:53:46,240 --> 00:53:50,920
And so the towers where he does all of his secret work and occasionally when the machines

1142
00:53:50,920 --> 00:53:55,600
are running and the towers making all these spooky noises, people mysteriously disappear

1143
00:53:55,600 --> 00:54:00,560
in the night, but then they also mysteriously reappear as though nothing had happened later.

1144
00:54:00,560 --> 00:54:01,560
Feeling better than ever.

1145
00:54:01,560 --> 00:54:02,560
Yeah.

1146
00:54:02,560 --> 00:54:03,920
So that's the story.

1147
00:54:03,920 --> 00:54:07,680
So the Flora character, what was her deal?

1148
00:54:07,680 --> 00:54:09,600
So she's the daughter.

1149
00:54:09,600 --> 00:54:10,600
She is.

1150
00:54:10,600 --> 00:54:12,320
She doesn't know that she is Flora.

1151
00:54:12,320 --> 00:54:17,680
Well, so she actually lives on the very top of the tower in this little house that's literally

1152
00:54:17,680 --> 00:54:22,000
just on the top of the tower and she's been waiting for somebody to come and find her.

1153
00:54:22,000 --> 00:54:26,440
So come to find out she is the golden apple.

1154
00:54:26,440 --> 00:54:32,140
So the girl that you meet, the lady, the Claude, not Claudia, Claudia is a cat.

1155
00:54:32,140 --> 00:54:33,740
So yes.

1156
00:54:33,740 --> 00:54:41,880
So you meet this woman who is the, well now, um, well she's the current wife of the former

1157
00:54:41,880 --> 00:54:42,880
Baron.

1158
00:54:42,880 --> 00:54:43,880
Right.

1159
00:54:43,880 --> 00:54:44,880
What is her name?

1160
00:54:44,880 --> 00:54:45,880
It's Nadia maybe.

1161
00:54:45,880 --> 00:54:52,080
Either way, who gives a shit, but she, she bears a uncanny resemblance to the former

1162
00:54:52,080 --> 00:54:55,680
wife who had passed away like a hundred percent.

1163
00:54:55,680 --> 00:54:56,680
Right.

1164
00:54:56,680 --> 00:54:59,920
And they even confuse them at the beginning.

1165
00:54:59,920 --> 00:55:01,520
She is also a robot.

1166
00:55:01,520 --> 00:55:02,800
She's like the beginning of.

1167
00:55:02,800 --> 00:55:03,800
Yeah.

1168
00:55:03,800 --> 00:55:08,080
And so you, you find these pages from a journal, um, as you play the game.

1169
00:55:08,080 --> 00:55:13,400
And so originally the Baron had her created to pretend to be mother, um, but it was too

1170
00:55:13,400 --> 00:55:14,560
much.

1171
00:55:14,560 --> 00:55:19,680
And so he had her personality overwritten to be this new wife.

1172
00:55:19,680 --> 00:55:24,800
And she just kind of was an at, you know, arm's length person in the dynamic of their

1173
00:55:24,800 --> 00:55:25,800
family.

1174
00:55:25,800 --> 00:55:26,800
Okay.

1175
00:55:26,800 --> 00:55:27,800
Got you.

1176
00:55:27,800 --> 00:55:29,400
Um, bigger plot twist.

1177
00:55:29,400 --> 00:55:32,320
The inspector that is kind of dogging you the whole time.

1178
00:55:32,320 --> 00:55:38,320
It's trying to figure out like who murdered whom is not an inspector.

1179
00:55:38,320 --> 00:55:43,120
He's actually your unknown arch nemesis, Don Paul.

1180
00:55:43,120 --> 00:55:47,080
He pulls off a mask and everything, dude.

1181
00:55:47,080 --> 00:55:50,840
He's like, it was me the whole time.

1182
00:55:50,840 --> 00:55:53,080
The professor knows who he is.

1183
00:55:53,080 --> 00:55:56,880
No, he's, he's like, I've heard of this guy, but I actually don't.

1184
00:55:56,880 --> 00:56:02,960
And this character, Don Paul makes these, he makes these mentions to suggest that there

1185
00:56:02,960 --> 00:56:07,160
was some slight in the past that was very obvious and should be well known to you.

1186
00:56:07,160 --> 00:56:09,400
And that's why you're my arch nemesis.

1187
00:56:09,400 --> 00:56:13,040
And Luke's like, you know, this guy and Layton's like,

1188
00:56:13,040 --> 00:56:15,480
No, I do not know this guy.

1189
00:56:15,480 --> 00:56:19,480
I have no idea why he's after me or what he's on about.

1190
00:56:19,480 --> 00:56:20,480
Oh man.

1191
00:56:20,480 --> 00:56:21,480
I'm down.

1192
00:56:21,480 --> 00:56:22,480
I want to keep playing this game.

1193
00:56:22,480 --> 00:56:23,480
I don't want to see this.

1194
00:56:23,480 --> 00:56:24,480
The story really pans out.

1195
00:56:24,480 --> 00:56:25,480
It's really cute.

1196
00:56:25,480 --> 00:56:29,480
There's still like, I mean, I revealed a lot, but there's, there's more to it.

1197
00:56:29,480 --> 00:56:32,000
There's so much character and flavor.

1198
00:56:32,000 --> 00:56:36,800
Um, and there's a lot of little nooks and crannies that the game doesn't make it apparent

1199
00:56:36,800 --> 00:56:39,720
to you that you can visit or that you'll be able to go to.

1200
00:56:39,720 --> 00:56:43,000
And some of them might be fairly obvious, but there's just, there's a lot of hidden

1201
00:56:43,000 --> 00:56:44,000
depth in there.

1202
00:56:44,000 --> 00:56:47,280
It's, it's, I liked it.

1203
00:56:47,280 --> 00:56:48,880
I enjoyed the shit out of it.

1204
00:56:48,880 --> 00:56:49,880
Nine out of five.

1205
00:56:49,880 --> 00:56:51,800
Wait, nine out of five.

1206
00:56:51,800 --> 00:56:52,800
Yeah.

1207
00:56:52,800 --> 00:56:53,800
Nine out of five.

1208
00:56:53,800 --> 00:56:54,800
I'm good with nine out of five.

1209
00:56:54,800 --> 00:56:55,800
Nine out of five.

1210
00:56:55,800 --> 00:56:56,800
It is.

1211
00:56:56,800 --> 00:56:58,200
That's a good rating.

1212
00:56:58,200 --> 00:57:02,880
Uh, I know we had talked about it before we started recording because we usually, this

1213
00:57:02,880 --> 00:57:08,520
is about the time where we usually do our little wheel of death to randomly select from

1214
00:57:08,520 --> 00:57:10,320
preselected titles.

1215
00:57:10,320 --> 00:57:11,320
Right.

1216
00:57:11,320 --> 00:57:14,520
Um, but you and I were talking about saying, fuck that.

1217
00:57:14,520 --> 00:57:15,520
Yeah.

1218
00:57:15,520 --> 00:57:17,840
I would like to play dementia.

1219
00:57:17,840 --> 00:57:19,080
I think I'm saying that right.

1220
00:57:19,080 --> 00:57:21,200
Dementia, the ward.

1221
00:57:21,200 --> 00:57:24,600
It's a first person shooter horror game.

1222
00:57:24,600 --> 00:57:26,120
I've played it before.

1223
00:57:26,120 --> 00:57:27,600
I really enjoyed it.

1224
00:57:27,600 --> 00:57:31,000
The last time I played it, I would really enjoy playing through it again.

1225
00:57:31,000 --> 00:57:32,000
I'm so down for it.

1226
00:57:32,000 --> 00:57:34,520
I think an FPS would be a nice change of pace.

1227
00:57:34,520 --> 00:57:36,320
I think I might have said that last episode.

1228
00:57:36,320 --> 00:57:37,320
A change.

1229
00:57:37,320 --> 00:57:39,120
It'd be a huge change.

1230
00:57:39,120 --> 00:57:44,240
Um, I would also like to say, first of all, Hey, thanks for listening.

1231
00:57:44,240 --> 00:57:48,120
I don't think we've ever said that, but thank you for listening.

1232
00:57:48,120 --> 00:57:49,720
We love doing this.

1233
00:57:49,720 --> 00:57:51,720
We're going to continue to do this.

1234
00:57:51,720 --> 00:57:54,400
Uh, enjoy listening some more.

1235
00:57:54,400 --> 00:57:59,080
And if you have a game that you want us to play, send it in.

1236
00:57:59,080 --> 00:58:01,240
I guarantee that we will play it.

1237
00:58:01,240 --> 00:58:08,280
Uh, the list is just basically kind of what we have an idea of what we want to play.

1238
00:58:08,280 --> 00:58:10,120
Sometimes we throw it on the randomizer.

1239
00:58:10,120 --> 00:58:12,800
This time we're just straight up picking which one we want to do.

1240
00:58:12,800 --> 00:58:13,800
Yeah.

1241
00:58:13,800 --> 00:58:14,800
There are no rules.

1242
00:58:14,800 --> 00:58:15,800
No, not at all.

1243
00:58:15,800 --> 00:58:16,800
Throw it to us.

1244
00:58:16,800 --> 00:58:17,800
We're pocket cats.

1245
00:58:17,800 --> 00:58:20,160
This is, this is not a democracy.

1246
00:58:20,160 --> 00:58:21,920
We do whatever the fuck we want.

1247
00:58:21,920 --> 00:58:22,920
Yeah.

1248
00:58:22,920 --> 00:58:23,920
It's free range.

1249
00:58:23,920 --> 00:58:24,920
Yeah.

1250
00:58:24,920 --> 00:58:25,920
We eat butts.

1251
00:58:25,920 --> 00:58:27,920
We eat butts and we like it.

1252
00:58:27,920 --> 00:58:28,920
Yeah.

1253
00:58:28,920 --> 00:58:32,440
Um, also it would be cool to get like other people on here.

1254
00:58:32,440 --> 00:58:33,440
Absolutely.

1255
00:58:33,440 --> 00:58:37,520
I told you before, Lexi will literally slit our throats in her sleep if we don't have

1256
00:58:37,520 --> 00:58:40,560
her on at any time we do a kingdom hearts title.

1257
00:58:40,560 --> 00:58:41,960
So yeah, I'd love to do that.

1258
00:58:41,960 --> 00:58:44,040
We can definitely throw that into the mix.

1259
00:58:44,040 --> 00:58:45,040
Yeah.

1260
00:58:45,040 --> 00:58:46,040
Send in your game.

1261
00:58:46,040 --> 00:58:50,720
And if you want to be on the show with us, I'm sure we can figure out a way to make that

1262
00:58:50,720 --> 00:58:51,720
work.

1263
00:58:51,720 --> 00:58:52,720
It's easy.

1264
00:58:52,720 --> 00:58:54,720
This is the easiest thing we've ever done.

1265
00:58:54,720 --> 00:59:00,280
Yeah, actually that's a pretty, yeah, it's shockingly easy.

1266
00:59:00,280 --> 00:59:07,120
Oh, another thing is that we are humans and we have random life time constraints.

1267
00:59:07,120 --> 00:59:09,600
It's going to be out of town.

1268
00:59:09,600 --> 00:59:14,960
So we're going to go ahead and do a three week play through for this game.

1269
00:59:14,960 --> 00:59:15,960
Yes.

1270
00:59:15,960 --> 00:59:20,720
I don't know if it's going to come across affecting at all the way that our editing

1271
00:59:20,720 --> 00:59:23,120
and distribution goes out.

1272
00:59:23,120 --> 00:59:27,400
We try to make it so that every two weeks the podcast comes out.

1273
00:59:27,400 --> 00:59:31,400
I don't know exactly how well we land on that.

1274
00:59:31,400 --> 00:59:32,400
Whatever.

1275
00:59:32,400 --> 00:59:33,400
Don't put it on the calendar.

1276
00:59:33,400 --> 00:59:34,400
Subscribe to us.

1277
00:59:34,400 --> 00:59:35,960
We'll just pop up whenever we have a new episode.

1278
00:59:35,960 --> 00:59:37,800
We've kind of got an idea of where we're going to be.

1279
00:59:37,800 --> 00:59:41,560
It'll be a fun little like surprise of, oh, look at this refreshing little.

1280
00:59:41,560 --> 00:59:42,560
I didn't know I could do this today.

1281
00:59:42,560 --> 00:59:43,560
I fucking hate Wednesday.

1282
00:59:43,560 --> 00:59:44,560
Let's do this.

1283
00:59:44,560 --> 00:59:47,560
It's like Wednesday way better.

1284
00:59:47,560 --> 00:59:48,560
Yeah.

1285
00:59:48,560 --> 00:59:50,640
And we're not making money off of this.

1286
00:59:50,640 --> 00:59:52,480
So it's not like we give a shit if it's consistent.

1287
00:59:52,480 --> 00:59:53,480
No, not at all.

1288
00:59:53,480 --> 00:59:54,480
Like us, don't like us.

1289
00:59:54,480 --> 00:59:55,480
We don't care.

1290
00:59:55,480 --> 00:59:56,480
Fucking no.

1291
00:59:56,480 --> 00:59:57,480
No.

1292
00:59:57,480 --> 00:59:58,480
But tell us.

1293
00:59:58,480 --> 00:59:59,480
Don't like us, send us some hate because we love the publicity.

1294
00:59:59,480 --> 01:00:00,480
Yeah, send us some hate.

1295
01:00:00,480 --> 01:00:01,480
Yeah, make me want to cry.

1296
01:00:01,480 --> 01:00:02,480
Oh yeah.

1297
01:00:02,480 --> 01:00:03,480
When I see a fat boy cry.

1298
01:00:03,480 --> 01:00:04,480
Yeah.

1299
01:00:04,480 --> 01:00:05,480
I'll do it for 20 bucks.

1300
01:00:05,480 --> 01:00:09,200
I'll do it for less than that if you make him really sad.

1301
01:00:09,200 --> 01:00:11,000
But it's got to be really good.

1302
01:00:11,000 --> 01:00:12,000
Really good.

1303
01:00:12,000 --> 01:00:13,640
There's some deep cuts.

1304
01:00:13,640 --> 01:00:18,240
I'm also realizing that we, I mentioned that there's something we haven't covered.

1305
01:00:18,240 --> 01:00:19,640
Oh, what's that?

1306
01:00:19,640 --> 01:00:20,640
Your sheltered ass life.

1307
01:00:20,640 --> 01:00:24,000
Dude, we don't have to talk about that.

1308
01:00:24,000 --> 01:00:28,040
I feel like listeners don't even deserve that after four episodes.

1309
01:00:28,040 --> 01:00:30,440
I think that you've just got a little taste.

1310
01:00:30,440 --> 01:00:34,040
This is another next time on Pocket Cast.

1311
01:00:34,040 --> 01:00:40,360
Yeah, Ed couldn't afford his therapist and so here you go.

1312
01:00:40,360 --> 01:00:42,360
Here we are.

1313
01:00:42,360 --> 01:00:47,120
I can't believe that the comment that you had of that you had never played a game really

1314
01:00:47,120 --> 01:00:48,120
until ninth grade.

1315
01:00:48,120 --> 01:00:51,120
You weren't a gamer until after ninth grade.

1316
01:00:51,120 --> 01:00:53,800
It's not that I never played a game.

1317
01:00:53,800 --> 01:00:58,760
I don't, I mean, I don't know what, what age I first played a game.

1318
01:00:58,760 --> 01:01:04,920
I didn't have regular access to video games for most of my life.

1319
01:01:04,920 --> 01:01:09,880
I remember we had a GameCube and then I bought a Wii even though my mom didn't want me to

1320
01:01:09,880 --> 01:01:11,260
have one.

1321
01:01:11,260 --> 01:01:15,560
So I paid my friend's mom to pick me one up and she brought it to the house.

1322
01:01:15,560 --> 01:01:17,560
I love it.

1323
01:01:17,560 --> 01:01:20,560
I don't even have to say anything.

1324
01:01:20,560 --> 01:01:21,560
This is so good.

1325
01:01:21,560 --> 01:01:22,560
It's a Wii.

1326
01:01:22,560 --> 01:01:23,560
Oh man.

1327
01:01:23,560 --> 01:01:29,680
All right, next time on Pocket Cast, we're going to be talking about Dementia of the

1328
01:01:29,680 --> 01:01:34,480
Ward, shooting up a bunch of dead things and being scared.

1329
01:01:34,480 --> 01:01:35,960
Don't really spoil it for me though.

1330
01:01:35,960 --> 01:01:38,080
I don't, I don't know what's coming.

1331
01:01:38,080 --> 01:01:39,080
Silent Hill FPS.

1332
01:01:39,080 --> 01:01:40,080
Oh, fuck yeah.

1333
01:01:40,080 --> 01:01:41,080
This will be fun.

1334
01:01:41,080 --> 01:01:42,080
Hell yeah.

1335
01:01:42,080 --> 01:01:43,080
Catch you next time, gamer boys and girls.

1336
01:01:43,080 --> 01:01:53,800
See ya nerds.
