let's go ahead and get to Word of the Nerd. What
have you guys been up to during this past recording
sesh? I played the infamous games for the PS3.
Nice. Those are good games. Yeah, I like the
first one a lot. I mean, I just like the fact
that you can just blast everything with lightning.
Yeah, you're pretty powerful. The parkour, it's
got a lot of jank to it. I think it's like the
number one thing that kind of holds that game
back. But otherwise, I mean, it's pretty fun.
I mean, all the powers and again, the fact that
you can just blast anything with lightning. I
mean, I think the story was pretty good too.
Like the plot twist at the end was pretty interesting.
The second game is, I don't know, the second
game is weird to me. It feels fairly different
from the first game. The tone feels so different.
It has humor in it and lighter moments. The second
one feels more like a comic book. I know. The
first game was so serious, but the second game
had a fair amount of comedy in it. Yeah, I agree
with that. It was still good, though. I still
enjoyed it. Besides that, I also read all the
Divergent books. They were pretty good. Neurodivergent?
No, just Divergent. They're pretty good. I think
I really like the idea of the five factions.
I think that's the most interesting thing about
it. I mean, the characters in Conflict are pretty
good too. Again, the factions is the most interesting
part about that book. It really makes you think
about... human nature and what it means to be
human and being complex. Are these popular books?
I don't think I've ever heard of them. They got
turned into movies, like blockbuster movies.
They're pretty popular. The movies are pretty
good. I must have missed those. How many books
are there? There's four. The first three books
are back -to -back. The fourth one's a sequel.
I didn't read that one. That was the only one
I didn't read. Only because the fourth one revolves
around a character called Four. I don't know.
I'm not the biggest fan of him. I don't think
he's a bad character by any means. I'm not really
that intrigued by him. Interesting. Who's next?
I don't really think I have anything. Nothing,
bro. It's been like three weeks. I know, bro.
I don't really have anything. You didn't read
any books, watch any TV shows, nothing? Just
been laying in bed for three weeks. Yeah, that's
all I did. No phone? Not even like anything on
the phone? No phone games? Nothing? I mean, I
got a controller for my phone. Oh, okay. There
you go. So, I have the Z Fold 7. And I got a
controller so I can play like Steam games and
the retro games on it too. Definitely taking
that up with me when I go up to Tennessee. Yeah.
Is it Bluetooth or is it physical connection?
It's Bluetooth and it's actually really responsive.
So pretty impressive. I've tried using the PS5
controller and it works okay, but there's definitely
some lag with that one. Yeah, the Bluetooth.
For whatever reason, those have horrible latency.
Yeah, it's weird. I think they're kind of designed
that way, so they only work with the PlayStation.
Yeah, which, whatever. But yeah, this thing is
made for phones and tablets and whatever, but
it works pretty damn good. All right, cool. Well,
maybe next episode you'll have something to talk
about. Yeah, I mean, I'm probably going to be
playing our next game on it. All right, I guess
it's your turn, Eric. I'm not going to lie, I
haven't been doing too much either. Oh, okay.
No, I've just been playing Baroque, really. That
was most of my time. I've been reading some TMNT
stuff. Like the original run? No, they had The
Last Ronin. I read that before, but there's a
second book. Yeah, there's a new one out, yeah.
Well, there's actually a prequel. Yeah, yeah.
And then there's the second one. I've read both
of those. Okay. That's what happened. The first
Last Ronin is awesome. Oh, yeah. The other two,
not so much. They're supposed to be making a
game off of that, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's
what I heard. I hope. It sounds pretty dope.
Yeah. If it's based off the first one, it'd be
pretty cool. Yeah. The second one, like, it's
just too much storytelling. Like, there's not
enough fighting. oh yeah i got you too much reading
about like i don't know politics and stuff i
guess yeah too much exposition like turtles are
supposed to fight so yeah it should be like a
fight yeah it should be fighting in action and
stuff for sure yeah well i don't know if you're
interested in them or not but the uh the second
book is a bunch of new turtles so yeah i'd heard
of that yeah it's like making a new clan or whatever
right Yeah, they're a bunch of new turtles, so
they're kind of getting into the beginning of
that stuff. They're not really fighting too much.
I think I have those books. I just haven't read
them yet. The Ronin ones? I know I have some
of them. I don't have the original first one,
but I think I have the second run. Oh, okay.
The first run is definitely worth reading, bro.
Definitely worth reading. Yeah, I do want to
read those eventually. I do want to go through
all of Turtles eventually. Yeah, I want to too,
but that's a big task. Yeah, I know. I don't
know if I mentioned last time we recorded, but
I've been playing that Dead Nation PS3 game.
Yeah, I don't think you mentioned it. I can't
remember. Yeah, I don't think so. But that's
one of my favorite PS3 games. I've been playing
that for a little bit. I don't think I've ever
played that game. Dude, it is awesome. It's so
good. Actually, speaking of which, of Infamous,
Brian and Jacob probably don't remember, but
I remember when we had that PS3, they got hacked.
Yeah, the PSN was down for like 30 days or whatever
it was. So Infamous and actually this Dead Nation
game were one of the two games you could get
for free. For free, yeah. I remember that. The
other one was Wave... Wave Riders or something.
Yeah, I forgot the name of that one. And I think,
wasn't LittleBigPlanet also free? I don't remember.
The only other one I remember is that racing
game that you got, the Hyper... Yeah, I can't
think of the name of it. Hyper Drive or whatever
it was. No, it's like Wave something. Wipe Out.
Wipe Out. Yeah, yeah. You had to choose two of
the four, I think it was, or something. Yeah.
I don't remember what the fourth one was. I thought
it was Little Big Planet, but I can't remember.
Yeah, I don't remember. But we already had that
game, so that's why we didn't pick that one.
Yeah. But yeah, dude, this Dead Nation game is
awesome, and there is no other game that I've
played that is like it. Yeah, I remember Underrated
Genre, too. Yeah, I know. It just hasn't really
been done right. Yeah, well, yeah, it's just
like, if it's done right, it's such an untapped
genre. Yeah. Like, there's other over -the -top
shooters, but this one is just, I don't know,
a little bit different. Is that one twin -stick?
Is it like a twin -stick shooter? No. Oh, okay.
You don't, like, shoot with one and move with
the other? Oh, well, yeah, I guess you, yeah.
Yeah, I guess so. Like, I have these alien shooter
games and zombie shooter games from, like, way
back on the PC. Yeah. I don't remember if I played
all of them, but those were pretty fun. But those
are, like, mass horde, like, a little too crazy.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. All right, let's see. What
have I been doing? Actually, I pulled out my
Vita recently, and I've been playing that a lot.
Nice. I've been playing Hitman. You guys ever
see the Hitman in Lara Croft Go games? yeah to
like puzzle version games you never seen those
jacob they're pretty dope dude they're like a
they're like a board game like puzzle game of
like hitman and tomb raider they're a lot of
fun isn't there another go game yeah dose dose
x but but that one wasn't released on the vita
for whatever reason so that was technically kind
of like not available anywhere But yeah, they're
pretty fun. I like them. I mean, I have the Deus
Ex one on the computer, so I'll probably play
through that one too. Okay. I think I played
one of them. I don't remember which one it was.
It's probably Hitman. That one was pretty big
when it came out. Yeah. Yeah, they're pretty
good. I like them a lot. And then the Claws of
Awaji DLC came out for AC Shadows, so I've been
playing that. I think I've already beaten that.
There's like some after story stuff, but for
the most part, I'd already beat that. But it
was okay. It was just kind of more of the same.
It was pretty simple. There wasn't really much
to it, honestly. Yeah. And at this point, you
already have like 80 hours in the game. It's
just kind of like, eh. I know. That's how much
more content you had. I know. And then since
I'm a trophy freak, I have to play through the
game again to get the last three trophies. Yeah.
Let's see what else. Oh, I picked up. Sorry.
Speaking of phone games, I was talking to you
about that other one earlier. I was playing that
today. What did I say it was called? Acecraft.
Yeah, Acecraft. Yeah. It's pretty cool. Jacob
Ryan, you guys should check that out. It's pretty
cool. It's like a Cuphead shooter game on the
phone. Oh, really? Nice. Yeah, it sounds cool.
I've seen a lot of ads for it. It looked interesting.
I'll probably download it now and check it out.
It's definitely fun. But, I don't know. Maybe
Jacob and Ryan are a little bit better. Those
menus are insane. Yeah. I know. Some of those
freaking phone games, the menus are just, like,
I feel like a boomer when I play those games
sometimes, man. Dude, there's, like, 30 menus
to navigate through. Yeah, I know. It's insane.
I know. Is it just, like, all stuff you can unlock,
or, like, all the... It's a gotcha game, so,
like, all the... It's, like, once human. Kinda.
Yeah. Just phone version, you know. Yeah, yeah.
But there's all those menus you can navigate
through. Like, this week they have this contest.
And you can also get, I don't know, cards for
this. Daily log and stuff. It's just so much.
But the game's awesome. It's fun. The artwork's
cool. Animations are awesome. Yeah, I'd probably
check that. Sounds interesting. Yeah, also, I
picked up The Exorcist, like the actual book
that the movie's based on, and read through that.
It was pretty good. It follows the movie pretty
closely, so there wasn't too much difference
there. Oh, yeah. I think it was probably a little
bit more graphic than the movie was. Yeah, I
mean, book, I would figure. Yeah, but it was
pretty good. I enjoyed it. How old is that? I
don't know, 70s, I think. I think it's only the
70s. Yeah, it's not that old. I think the movie
came out right after the book. What? I was about
to say, The Exorcist is what, 78? Yeah, I think
the movie came out right after the book. Somewhere
around there. It's late 70s, I'm pretty sure.
Yeah, the guy who wrote the book wrote the screenplay
for the movie. Oh, okay. That's pretty cool.
Yeah, so they follow each other pretty closely.
It was cool to read. Because I went to Walmart
and they had the special edition. It's like...
green and glows in the dark and stuff it's pretty
cool what okay it's like this like the side of
the pages are actually like painted green like
you know some of those books have like the colored
pages on the side yeah that's cool yeah it's
pretty dope looking so i was like all right i'll
buy that and give it a read so oh also Don't
leave your TMNT books in your hot car in Florida.
Yeah, you shouldn't leave anything in your car.
Dude, every book I've had, all my Berserks, all
my Batmans, everything I've read has been fine,
but the two TMNT books I had, the glue has came
apart. Really? So like pages falling out? Just
like big sections. But every other book I have
had has been fine, so I don't know. That's weird.
Oh, and then one last thing, I guess, just kind
of because we like foods and stuff, too. I've
been like I've been looking for like the best,
like cheap frozen pizza. So I've been trying
a bunch of different stuff and everything. I
think the best one right now is Red Baron. They're
pretty good. Yeah. Yeah. They're only like five
or six bucks in there. It's a pretty decent pizza
for like frozen pizza. I like them. I can't even
remember the last time I had a frozen pizza to
be honest with you. I like the tombstones, too.
The tombstones are pretty good. Yeah. I think
I liked the... Yeah, I think I did like the Red
Barons when I was eating them. Yeah, they were
pretty good. And they're cheap, dude. They're
like five or six bucks. They're not expensive
at all. Yeah. I think you just can't go wrong
with frozen pizza. Yeah. As crazy as that sounds,
but... I know, it's kind of hard to mess that
up. Yeah. I tried the DiGiorno's and I'm not
a big fan of the DiGiorno's. Yeah, they're alright.
Yeah, they're not that great, honestly. But I
mean, like, I wouldn't... complain about eating
them though oh yeah i'm still gonna eat it like
a fat bitch yeah yeah yeah dude walmart had like
too many pieces yeah walmart had like a breakfast
one one time and that shit was awesome bro walmart
brand frozen pieces are good yeah they have like
the deli ones up front yeah those are good yeah
those are really good But it was like a breakfast
one with like a croissant crust. Yeah, I know.
Oh, dude, it was awesome. It was got like bacon
and egg on it and stuff. Yeah, it was like egg,
cheese, sausage. That sounds good. Yeah, those
are good. Those are really good. Yeah, dude,
I don't remember the last time I had a frozen
pizza was. Yeah, it's like I've just been eating
them because they're cheap. That's what I've
been doing. And all you have to do is turn the
oven on and throw it in there. That's all you
gotta do. Just don't eat the Totini's pizza.
Wow, what's wrong with those? Ah, those are gross,
bro. Totinos? Toastinos. Isn't it Toastinos?
Toastinos. Totinos. I thought it was. Totinos
makes the rolls or whatever, don't they? Well,
they have those thin pizzas that Jacob used to
eat. Yeah, yeah. I think those are the Toastinos,
but there's also, I believe, a Totinos that makes
the roll -up. What are they called? The roll
-up things or whatever? I don't know. Whatever.
Who cares? The pizza rolls? No, no, no. Beef
-a -ritos or whatever the fuck they're called.
I don't know what you're talking about. I can
see it in my head, but it doesn't matter. This
isn't what this show is about. Anyway. Tostito
rolls. Yeah, that's pizza rolls. Totinos. It's
the same company. That's still not what I'm thinking
of. I don't know what you're talking about. Who
cares? Because we're going to talk about our
video game, Baroque. Next is our food channel.
Yeah, that's the next one. Baroque is a roguelike
dungeon crawler developed by Sting Entertainment
and published by Entertainment Software Publishing
for the Sega Saturn in 1998. It was created by
Kazunari Yonomitsu, who actually worked on the
original Puyo Puyo game, which is a pretty big
difference compared to this game. He worked on
a bunch of stuff I read. Yeah, he's actually
a pretty prolific worker in the video game industry,
which is pretty cool. I don't want to break it
off too much. But from what I've read, he worked
on a bunch of, like, not kiddie games, but, you
know, not serious too much. Things like Puyo
Puyo, yeah. That's why he kind of, like, went
this direction with this game. He wanted to work
on something, like, with more story and seriousness.
Yeah, yeah. Yeah, this game started out as a
PC -9800 game, which I think was a Japanese -exclusive
PC. But he wanted to have 3D graphics, so he
switched the development to the Saturn. Which,
I don't know, this game doesn't really have 3D
graphics, I would say. It's like a pseudo 3D,
I guess. But we'll get into that. Did you guys
beat this game? Not really. No. Yes and no. You
guys got through the first act, though, right?
You beat the dungeon the first time? Yeah. Not
the simulation, I mean the level 13, right? Is
the first run? Yeah. I'm on my last run. I'm
on like the 14th level my last run, so I only
need like two steps. Oh, okay. To actually just
beat the game. Yeah, you have to make it to the
16th floor to beat the game. Well, you have to
make it to the 21st floor, yeah. Yeah. It's 21st.
Yeah. Jacob, you said you beat the first part,
the 13th floor? Yeah, I think so. Okay. Yeah,
I made it through the 21st floor and got to the
ending, but... So I guess a little bit of a spoiler.
Anytime we talk about these games, there's obviously
going to be some kind of spoiler warning. So
we're going to talk about the story a little
bit. But apparently like civilization on Earth
was diminished by a great heat wave kind of due
to mankind like meddling in the affairs of the
gods. And you you have been given the task to
make your way to the bottom of the nerve tower
to kind of gain redemption for whatever you did
to cause the because you were the one who caused
a great heat wave. And so the story is that as
you're traveling down through this tower, you're
kind of meeting the people who were a part of
that thing, part of that catastrophe. And you
learn the story along the way, which was, I don't
know. I thought this story was kind of confusing.
Yeah. The story is. In the game, it's completely
confusing. Yeah, yeah. This is one of those games
where you have to read supplemental material
to make any kind of sense of what is going on.
Which, when you do, the story is actually kind
of cool. Yeah, it's interesting. It's very Western,
or Eastern, I mean. Yeah, it's crazy, for sure.
Yeah, so basically there is an order of angels
called the Malkuth who were trying to... take
over god i guess i'm not really sure what they
were trying to do but they well they found these
spheres yeah they should let them to find god
yeah which was kind of driving people crazy yeah
which is where the baroque came right and then
one dude he kind of went baroque yeah which then
he wanted to take over god right that's the archangel
right Yeah, and he ended up calling himself the
Archangel. And then he wanted to basically create
a new world. Right, and then the Coriel found
out about this and decided that they needed to
step in. And so they chose you, the main character,
to fuse with God to figure out what they wanted.
And then the Archangel found out about it, and
as it was happening, he stopped it, which caused
the Great Heat Wave. Yeah. Um, he separated you
guys. You were already supposed to fuse with
God, but he was in the middle of stopping it.
Right. And then cause a giant heat wave. Right.
Which basically eradicated most of life. Yeah.
And then, and they chose you because you were
like a twin, like not even, you were like two.
Uh, what do they call that? Like when you're
like two people in one. BPD. BPD, Burner Line
Personality Disorder. No, no, when you're actually,
like, two people. Like, when somebody has, like,
a... Yeah, that's it. It was a Siamese twin.
Yeah. But they, like, killed your other half.
Yeah, it's some weird thing, yeah. Yeah, yeah.
So that's why they chose you to fuse with God,
because since you... They're trying to, like,
make up for that other half. I don't know, it's
kind of weird. Anyway, yeah, that's most of the
story. I guess then the main idea of the game
is that you're trying to figure all that out
because you don't have any memory and you can't
speak or anything like that. But you can purify.
You have the ability to purify. Yeah, but you
can't speak because God took that away from you.
Right, yeah. But he gave you the ability to purify.
Well, I guess in this game, she. With all that
said, this is basically, I mean, in the basic
form, it's kind of like a dungeon caller. It's
a rogue. like dungeon crawlers what i would call
it with some slight like rpg elements to it so
you start out in kind of like an overworld where
you can talk to some characters and they give
you a little bit of idea in the story and then
you find the archangel who is talking to you
through like a um apparition i guess and he tells
you yeah projection he tells you to come find
him in the dungeon and gives you a weapon well
actually Does that happen? The first time you
just dropped in the dungeon, right? For the simulation?
You don't talk to him, right? No, you still talk
to him. Oh, do you? Okay. Alright. Oh, that's
right. Yeah, you do. So, the first time you go
through the dungeon, it doesn't matter if you
make it to the level 6 or not. You get to a cutscene
and find out it was a simulation. And depending
on whether you made it or not, you're either
a failure or you're like, holy crap, you're a
success. What happened here? And then the actual
game, like, kind of starts after that where you,
where the Archangel tells you to come find him
again. And then you got to go down to the dungeon.
So there's, the dungeon's set into levels and
obviously start at level one. And then it's kind
of a random generated map. And you just walk
around. There's enemies down there called Grotesques.
And they start out pretty easy, but then they
start getting pretty difficult in some of those
later levels. Dodging in this game is difficult.
Yeah, like it's not even really dodging. It's
just kind of walking around. Yeah, walking around
in circles. But like if you try to walk backwards,
dude, their attack range is insane. Yeah, it's
ridiculous. Yeah, it is. It's like strafing,
but you can't really do much about it. Yeah.
And if you get down to the levels too fast without
leveling up enough, they get strong fast and
then they start ganging up on you and you'll
go down really quick. Yeah. Yep. part of what
you got to do is you got to walk around looking
for like upgrades and new weapons and stuff and
everything which this game does not give you
a lot like no it's all rng and sometimes like
if you don't get the items that you need within
like the first four levels you might as well
just start the whole run over because you're
not going to make it yeah this the gameplay is
tough because like you said like and i feel like
leveling up does absolutely nothing though Yeah,
it just gives you some health, and that's all
it really does. And vitality. You get vitality,
too. Which, I need attack strength and speed
and defense. Yeah, I mean, all that stuff goes
up, but yeah, it doesn't really seem like it
does much, because by the time you get to the
next level, the new enemies are tougher anyway,
so. Yeah. And then all the elemental effects
you can have, I feel like they do nothing. No,
those are pretty helpful, dude. especially every
time i use them like if you well you gotta if
you can stack them it's like you're it helps
a lot yeah yeah but i mean fire damage should
be noticeably different than not yeah like by
themselves they're not super helpful but if because
the way i won is i had the fire ice and um electric
all at once and i was tearing through enemies
it was crazy yeah um but that's like a perfect
run like that's almost impossible sure yeah like
that that only happened once yeah for sure yeah
um and then i also had like the trident thing
where it attacks three times or whatever so yeah
that was a that was a perfect run um but they
do help it does help um the biggest thing is
the freaking eating and the vitality because
you have a health bar and you have vitality which
is just kind of like an energy that's always
depleting and then once it goes down to zero
it starts killing you slowly um But you have
like meat and seed, which sounds weird. But you
can eat those, one for vitality and one for health.
But if you eat them when you're at full bar,
you like gain more. So for me, I was always trying
to only eat them when I was at full health or
full vitality. So I was always gaining stats
and stuff and everything. Yeah, max it out. Mm
-hmm. The vitality is hard though because you
walk one foot and you're already down. You're
not maxed. Well, it just goes down even while
you're standing around. Well, yeah. Yeah, that's
true. That's why you have to kill enemies, though,
because the pearls that you get give you vitality.
Their orbs give you vitality, but they give you,
like, two. Yeah, I know. Depending on the difficulty
of the enemy. Well, yeah. Yeah, that's why I
always, like, I always save the seeds and the
meat, and then, like, if I found, like, one of
the regeneratives or something that did, like,
a full heal, I would use that and then immediately
use all the seeds and the meat and everything,
so. Mm -hmm. Which yeah, there's a bunch of different
stuff you can pick up. There's armor you can
pick up. There's weapons, which was kind of lame
that there's only just a sword. I wish they had
like different weapons. That would have been
cool. Yeah. They had like magic. Basically, there's
like magic items you can use. There was traps.
Boxes. Oh, they had the boxes, right? And the
wings. And the bones. The torturers, the patterns,
the bones. Yeah. And the worms. The patterns
were like the traps, right? The things that you
put on the floor. Yeah, those are the traps.
Okay, yeah. Yeah. Oh, and the brands. There's
a lot of... Oh, and ampoules. Brands and ampoules.
Oh, the brands too. Yeah, there's a lot of stuff.
And then the worms too. Yeah, that's one of the
things... Which, like, I like that aspect of,
like, adding all that stuff into the game because,
like, each run you can, like, have different
effects and stats and stuff like that. But like
I said, a lot of that stuff just... kind of seems
meaningless yeah i mean each run is kind of unique
for sure like because like i played through the
game a few times and then i watched you play
and you were picking up stuff i hadn't even seen
before yeah what is that what is that so i'm
sure i haven't even seen everything in the game
yet dude looking at a list there is a gigantic
amount of stuff and i've seen maybe like yeah
i know it's crazy that's kind of why the rng
kind of sucks but and then one of the one of
my big complaints about this game is you are
in the menu like being in the menu is like 80
of the game You're in there so freaking much,
it's annoying. Because you have a limited inventory
and you're picking up stuff constantly. Yeah,
item management is definitely a huge role of
this game. Which, I don't know, it's not terrible.
I'm not a fan of it. It's too much. It just slows
the game down so much. And this game is already
slow. For the genre, it just doesn't fit. Yeah.
Yeah, I mean, you can get in and out of the menu
quickly. It's not that. It's just that I'm in
there constantly like, okay, do I need this one?
What do I throw out now? Do I need this later?
Do I need this now? Like, I was just in the menu
all the time. I felt like I was in the menu more
than I was actually walking around. I don't know.
I just, if there's something on the floor, I
throw something, pick it up. If I don't want
that, then I just throw it and pick up the other
thing that I wanted. Well, maybe that's why I
beat the game and you guys didn't. Okay, yeah.
No, I just got screwed on my last runs. I don't
know. I just feel like it was in there too much.
I don't know. To me, this game was very slow.
I felt it was kind of boring, honestly. It's
very slow. Yeah. Very. Because you walk slow,
your attack is slow. You were in the menu quite
a bit. You also have status effects. Enemies
can add status effects to you. You can get blinded.
The lust one was crazy. Everything looks like
a... Beautiful woman, which was funny. Yeah.
You get poisoned. Yeah, you get poisoned. Yep.
And then, of course, you can also collect items
to counteract all that stuff as well. You can
get items that give it to the grotesque, too.
That's true, yeah. Which was pretty cool. Yeah,
that was pretty neat, yeah. Yeah, you get blinded
from somebody farting on you. That was ridiculous
the first time I seen that. I was like, bro,
what? Yeah, that was funny. Yeah, that's something
else, too. This game has very, like, to me, it
felt like very, like, puerile, like, humor, you
know? Like, a very, like, kiddish kind of humor.
Like, especially the coffin man or whatever,
he says goddammit after every sentence. Yeah.
I don't know if that was just the translation
or if the original game was like that. Yeah,
I don't know, because it's very odd. Yeah, he
was like, everything he said, he just said goddammit
after. Like, every other word was a curse word.
Just like, what is this? but yeah there's also
like that he had he's like the tutorial but you
can't play it until you've already played the
game once which was weird yeah i think yeah let's
just get out of the simulation yeah yeah i don't
know i just thought that was weird so you have
to make it through the game or you have to make
it to the dungeon to the level 13 where you'll
find the the archangel he's been like trapped
down there this whole time uh and then once you
get through that um the dungeon opens up again
so you have to keep like slowly opening lower
levels to the dungeon and then when you get back
to the top after that you'll find that you can
like um get into like a i think it was like a
laboratory right where the the malkuth uh guard
was watching it but you can do a few things and
then get in there and then you find out that
you were a clone the whole time that you just
keep being cloned over and over yep and that's
why every time you die you start back up there
And then after that, you can finally get to the
second run where you can make it down to the...
Well, it's to the 15th or 16th level first, right?
And you have to do a few things there. And then
finally you get down to the 21st level where
you merge with God and heal the Earth. I don't
even really know what happens after that. Yeah,
I don't know. I think it's kind of left open.
You're just not really cloned anymore. You kind
of break the cycle. Yeah, yeah. Well, you just
decide that you can work with God and fix what
has been... Yeah, I think it's kind of left open.
There's not really an ending, really. Yeah. Because
once you do that, you just start right back up
at the top again. Yeah. Well, you're not destroying
the world with the archangel on it. Sure, yeah,
yeah. Well, that's why she needs your pure water
and all that stuff so they can create sense fears
to restore the earth. Right, yeah. And then you
got to save the littles, which is like God's
pain, apparently. Pure pain. Yeah. And they were
using them as bullets. The archangel, yeah, they
took the pain receptors from God. Yeah. It's
a very odd story. I'll give it credit. It's different.
But he took pain receptors out of God's body.
And then, yeah, I think they put him in the gun,
right? Yeah. angelic rifle turned into. And that's
why it one -shots everything because it's just
straight pain. This is what drives me crazy is
you guys disliked Rule of Rose's story so much
and yet this one is fine. Well, I actually read
a bunch of those books. Yeah. Well, that's the
other thing. You have to read supplemental material
to understand this story, which I think is worse.
Rule of Rose, I just hated I think the game just
made it worse. Just the actual gameplay of the
game made it worse. I mean, again, yeah, it's
a very Eastern odd story. But if I enjoyed the
game, it would be different, I guess. Yeah, I
don't know. I don't know. If you actually read
into the story, it's interesting because it's
different. I guess. I don't know. My entire reaction
to this game has just been, eh. Like the story,
the gameplay, the graphics, everything has just
been, eh. Did you read those books? Yeah, I read
them, yeah. They're fine. I don't know. I think
they're very convoluted, honestly. I don't really
understand what the Baroque salesman was doing.
He was creating stories to what? That was his
Baroque. That was the whole point towards the
end. And the Baroque is just somebody's calling?
Is that what it is? No, it's just your insanity
in your own head, basically. Okay. I guess that's
where I'm getting confused. Yeah. The whole point
of that was the twist at the end that he was
Baroque. I guess I missed that because I didn't
even go, whoa. I was like, oh, okay. It's not
that crazy, but yeah. And then that girl that
follows him around is supposed to be part of
his Baroque. Okay. She's just a figment? Basically.
Okay. All right, well... Basically all that is.
And then my other problem... It's like one of
those Mario 2 things where it's like it was a
dream the whole time. Oh, it was a dream, yeah,
the whole time. Kind of, yeah. Super Mario Bros.
2 ending. My other problem is that you guys think
this game is fun and thought Crusader of Senti
was boring. I mean, I'm not saying this game
isn't, like, a godsend. It's just... I... This...
I wanted this game to be something that it's
not. Yeah, yeah. I do have some gripes with this
game, I do. Yeah. Well, I thought this would
be more like a modern roguelike, but it's really
not. This game is just not a roguelike at all,
really. The biggest thing that this game could
have benefited from would have been permanent
upgrades. Yeah, that's what we needed. Yeah.
Stat increases somehow. That would have made
a huge difference. Even if they were tiny. Yeah.
Yeah. But you get nothing. No. Yeah. The only
roguelike thing in this game is that you can
transfer your items between runs. Which is not
very well explained also. No. No, it's not explained
at all. That's the only roguelike mechanic. But
there is a part in the game where they do explain
it, but it's not. It's not very prominent. Yeah,
I got super lucky in this game. I got two runs
that I got everything I needed and just plowed
through. Yeah. So I definitely missed. I probably
missed some stuff, and I got through this game
pretty quickly. But, yeah, I don't know. Like
I said, I didn't hate the game, but I don't know.
I just felt like the whole time I was like, eh,
okay. Yeah, I mean, it's not amazing. Yeah. It's
not terrible. The biggest thing is, like, for
me, where the controls were just so slow. You
feel really sluggish. I mean, the tank controls,
for sure. It's tank controls, yeah. Which, for
tank controls, I thought it was going to be a
lot worse because I haven't played tank controls
in forever, but they're not terrible. But it's
also because the environment's kind of built
around it, you know? Yeah, true. And you have
the strafing, too. The strafing helps a lot.
Yeah. Like, a lot. If you can get that down right,
then yeah, you can move pretty good. Yeah. Yeah,
since the environment's all flat, it's kind of
like a Doom, you know, like how Doom looks and
everything. The tank controls aren't awful. Which,
you know, we said before that he went over to
the Saturn for 3D, but to me, this is kind of
like a... Like, Doom is... I don't know if you
consider Doom 3D, I guess. I don't know. To me,
that's not really 3D. It's like a 2 .5D, I guess.
Yeah. Because the characters aren't 3D models.
They're sprites, you know? Yeah. Yeah, I guess
so. But yeah that's actually the other thing
too is the attack is 2D. I've never seen a game
do an attack like that where it's just like a
sprite across the screen. That was pretty wild.
Yeah. It was also annoying too because there's
like there's like a small hallways that like
connect the rooms and if you're like up against
the wall your attack will actually cancel because
it's like hitting the wall. Yeah. So sometimes
the enemies like gang up on you in there and
you can't you're like trying to hit shit you're
like god damn it. Yeah and you're stuck and you
can't move forward or back. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
there is if you can hit the wall just right it'll
you can actually make it attack a lot faster
oh really yeah you have to do it just right where
it actually hits them okay because it cancels
it basically but then you can just go back into
it oh it's like a bxr yeah kind of like you could
just you know you it does like half the animation
but you hit them and but it cancels it so it
only takes less time to do it yeah yeah All right,
anything more gameplay controls, anybody? Yeah,
like you mentioned the menu, like you spent a
lot of the game in the menu. I just really wish
the menu was better. I mean, it would have been
nice if like there was categories in your menu.
So you have one for weapons, you have one for
health or what's it called? Your VT, one for
like, what's that? You can sort it. Did you know
that? Oh, I did not. Yeah, you can sort your
items in there. Okay, well, that would have been
nice to know. Yeah, the game doesn't tell you
that, I know. I mean, it still doesn't tell you
exactly, but... It also doesn't help that this
is a Japanese exclusive, so we didn't have, you
know, access to the menu, or to the, what do
you call it, instruction manual, any of that
stuff, too. Well, we also played it patched in
English, so... Right, exactly. But yeah, there
is a way to sort your stuff in the menu, which
I didn't know right away, either. I think...
I think one of the characters... No, you know
what? I read it online somewhere. I think I did.
That's what I did. Yeah, because I never figured
that out in the game. Mm -hmm. I read it online
somewhere. Yep. Yeah, but I agree that sometimes
you just keep picking up stuff and it gets so
convoluted and you're like, I don't even know
what I'm looking at anymore. Okay, let's go ahead
and jump over to the graphics. The graphics are
okay. I actually like the sprite work on the
characters and stuff. The models and everything
are really cool. The enemies were actually pretty
scary on some of them. Yeah. Like, those, like,
machine ones that, like, run at you. There was
a few times where I got, like, you know. Yeah.
Because they knock you back so far. Yeah. I was
like, please don't hit me. Please don't hit me.
There's actually, you know, I would say there's
some actually pretty, like, scary parts in this
game. Like, their second level or whatever, like,
that face will, like, take the camera away from
you and does, like, that. Dude, that would scare
me the first time. Yeah. That got me. The first
time I played, I was like, oh, there's jump scares
in this game? Yeah. And then the second playthrough,
the Littles fly out of you out of nowhere and
stuff and everything. Yeah, yeah. There's some
spooky parts in the game. But yeah, like I said,
the enemies are pretty good. The other thing
is the environments are kind of bland, I would
say. They're all very samey. Definitely monotonous.
Yeah. I mean, I guess I'm assuming there were
limitations. Yeah, I'm sure. There's some variety.
And then there was like a switch you could turn
off the furnace. Does that actually change those
levels? Yeah. Just those lower levels. It changes
to lower levels, yeah. Do they just look like
the other levels normally? No, they're like iced
over. No, but I mean if you don't turn the furnace
off. Oh, I mean technically they look the same.
It's just they're like... everything's like iced
over instead yeah okay yeah like the walls that
you have to attack to right for them to come
down they're just like ice balls yeah oh okay
okay but that's pretty much all it does yeah
so there was i mean there was some uh variety
but i don't know just they're pretty bland to
me there wasn't much in there like the the levels
themselves don't really have much in them other
than the enemies and the items so yeah it's not
really much i mean i know i i heard i've heard
that developing for the Sega Saturn was actually
very difficult. It's one of the reasons why it
didn't do very well. But, I mean, the game looked
fine. You know, it looked like a good 3D, like
that FPS 3D game for the time. Yeah. Everything
was, like, distinguishable. You knew what you
were looking at. Yeah, yeah. I wasn't getting
lost or anything. My biggest gripe with this
game is the distance. Yeah, the draw distance.
You can't see very far. Yeah. That is the biggest
problem. I wish it was just a little bit further.
Yeah, that's just a limitation on the system
for sure. You had to walk pretty far into a room
to see if anything was in there or not. Some
of those rooms are big and you walk all that
round and there's nothing in there. Well, sometimes
too you're low in health and you're like, I need
to see if something's in here but I don't want
to get attacked. And then you walk in and there's
like three enemies and you're like, okay, well,
cool. Or you have no VT and you're like... Do
I need to go in here or should I just go to the
next level? Yeah, exactly. Yeah, I wonder if
the PS1's different with that. Well, those are
like third person, so... No, not the PS1 one.
The PS2 ones are. Or PS2. Yeah. Whatever the
remaster was, PS2. Wait, was the PS1 third person?
The one on the PS1 was like a graphic novel game.
Well, they quote -unquote remastered this game.
Yeah, which was a third person. PS2 and Wii as
a third -person game. But I think the PS1 one
was just this game, I think. Hold on, let me
look that up. Yeah, I think so. There was a Baroque
game on the PS1 that was like a graphic novel
that was based off of some of those books that
you read. Yeah, yeah. Baroque itself was also
on the PlayStation. Yeah, they quote -unquote
remastered it, or it was different or something.
They gave it extra. It's like a director's cut,
I think. Yeah, I think that one was released
here. Yes, so I think the 3D one was on the PlayStation.
The Saturn one wasn't released here. Yeah, I
think the PlayStation one... I don't know, whatever,
it doesn't matter. The PlayStation one, there
was also a PlayStation version. I can't remember
if it was 3D, if it was like this one, or if
it was like the remaster, but whatever. I think
the PS1 was like this. Like this one, yeah. Yeah,
it looks like it, yep, yep. But they added some
extra characters and stuff in the PlayStation
1. Yeah. And the sprite work looks a little bit
better. Yeah. I've read they changed some things.
It looks like it runs a lot smoother. Probably.
Although it's got that PS1 triangle jank. Probably.
And it does look like the render distance is
further. Yeah. Nice. That's alright. The gameplay
is probably still the same. I'll take that triangle
jank. Yeah. It's very retro for sure. I don't
know. I mean, PS1's like one of my favorite consoles.
Yeah, I know. You don't even notice it after
a while. All right. So, I mean, that's the graphics.
They're fine. They've got a nice eerie setting,
but they're a little bland, I would say. But
otherwise, pretty good. Pretty good for the time.
Yeah. And then the sound. One of the main things
of the sound is there's just like a constant
heartbeat throughout the entire time you're playing.
And then like it gets faster when like when you're
attacked and stuff and everything, which I guess
is kind of cool. But I don't know. Got kind of
annoying. Yeah. It gets annoying quick. Yeah.
And then there's only really like two types.
There's like eerie ambient noise music. And then
there was like 80s horror synth music, which
that part was pretty cool. I like that music.
But otherwise, I didn't. Good. I think I read
somewhere where he. The composer didn't really
want to do music. He wanted, like, more ambient
noises to make it more scary. Oh, yeah. So, I
don't know. Yeah, I don't know. There really
wasn't much... The music didn't play often in
this game anyway, so... Yeah. I did like the
noise, though. Yeah, the noises of the enemies
and stuff and everything were really cool. I
liked the, like, radio chatter or whatever. Like,
the voices. yeah that was that was really cool
that creeped me out the first time i heard that
yeah it definitely set like a very creepy atmosphere
for sure yeah but yeah like like i said that
the and then like with the constant heartbeat
like when you're getting attacked and stuff it
does like raise it up and it does like um you
know it gets you stressed out and stuff you're
like please get away from me yeah yeah because
it makes it louder too yeah it does yeah yeah
so it adds like the anxiety a little bit Yeah,
and some of the enemies made some pretty crazy
noises, too. Yeah. I like when you step on those
little bugs. Oh, yeah, they're like, squeak!
Yeah. All right, let's jump over to the achievements,
then. Did you guys master this game? No. No.
Yeah, I didn't either. I don't think I'm going
to. The set's not awful. It's actually pretty
simple, honestly. Just kind of play the game.
Yeah, it's pretty straightforward. Yeah. I think
you have to beat it a few times though. There's
like four different endings that you have to
get. Because you have to like embrace God. You
have to like reject God. You have to like shoot
God. I don't know. There's like a bunch of different
endings. Yeah. And I don't know if you can do
those all on the same save. Yeah, I don't know.
I'm not sure. Because I didn't get that reject
God on my save. Yeah, maybe that's because I
did that one first. Yeah, I'm not sure. That's
what I was saying. But Ryan said... He did one
of them and didn't get them, so I don't know.
Yeah, I don't know. Yeah, I'm not too sure. I
know a lot of us had a couple issues with these
achievements. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I mean, they're
not too bad. Most of it's just story stuff, and
then it basically beat every enemy in the game.
Yeah, and then there's just that one achievement
to beat the game in two runs or whatever. Yeah,
that's kind of like a killer right there, is
beat the game basically without dying, basically.
Yeah, which is, I mean, I guess doable, but.
But you're going to be playing, like, if you
don't get the run, like, again, if you don't
get the items that first time, you're just going
to have to start over every time, so. Yeah. Which
is annoying. But you can do the dungeon to help
you out on those, so. What, oh, the coffin man's
thing? Mm -hmm. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But, I mean,
it really doesn't help that much. I mean, you're
level six or seven by the end of it, so. Yeah.
But if you don't get the items, though, it doesn't
matter. True. Yeah. But there usually is a lot
of health and food. Yeah, there's a lot of stuff
in them. But, yeah, I mean, it's definitely not
impossible. It's just this is one of those ones
that you have to, like, put time into. And it's
just like, I don't know if I want to play this
game anymore. Yeah. I don't know. Maybe. Probably
not. But I got to even beat the game. Yeah. Which
I will do. I'm close to the end. Like I said,
dude, you just got to get that set up at the
beginning. That's all. Yeah. But yeah, I mean,
this is a fine set. I don't really have anything
against this set. So it's got a pretty good difficulty
to it. Just that one's kind of tough. Yeah. Like
I said, I'm pretty sure there's a guide on there,
too. So I think it's doable. Yeah. If you guys
got anything else, we're going to jump over to
the final verdict. All right, so just a quick
explanation. We don't do numbering or anything
like that. It's just a quick, did you enjoy the
game and would you recommend the game? So who
wants to go first? Go ahead, Jacob. I want to
hear Jacob's opinion. Yeah, Jacob, you go first.
All right. Yeah, I didn't really care for this
game at all. It's just, it's very flat in my
opinion and it's very slow. Having to go to your
menu constantly and the fact that I didn't know
that you can organize it. And the fact that the
menu is just, again, so flat and bland really
just took me out. There wasn't really anything
in this game that really appealed to me. And
I was like, oh, that's kind of cool. I mean,
there's a few things in here that I thought were
neat. Like, you know, some of the sprite work
looks pretty good. The ambience is pretty nice,
but everything else just didn't do it for me.
So I'm guessing you wouldn't recommend it. No,
there's other good dungeon crawlers. Around this
time. I mean. When I was playing this game. I
kept thinking about the original Doom. I played
a little bit of it. I'm not going to lie. I haven't
really gone through that game. But I mean. I
think you should play that a lot more than this
game. And I know that they're kind of two different
ambiences. And two different moods. And kind
of two different game plays. Well that's like
an FPS. Yeah. But yeah. I mean. This is too.
It's just not guns you know. Swords. first Perkin
sorter not to mention like if you want to understand
the story of this game you gotta read the damn
books and it's like I think there's a lot of
people I think most gamers you don't have to
there's just a lot of backstory that's not there
well you won't understand a damn thing if you
don't well that's how I felt about rule of rose
okay and that's fine but I'm just taking my time
not to mention I mean you could I mean, you can
at least understand Rule of Rose without having
to read a damn book, you know? I didn't. But
you could. You won't get that shit out of Baroque.
You have to read the books. You don't have to.
Oh, my God. To understand the story, you do.
That's my point. Not really. Ryan, what's your
opinion? Did you enjoy this game? Yeah, I did.
Fortunately, I did expect it to be something
different. I did enjoy it, but I do have some
gripes with it. I do think it's very slow. I
agree with that. I don't think the combat, I
guess, is very appealing. I mean, it's simple.
Yeah, whatever. But I guess, yeah, just the gameplay
is lacking a little bit. But I do love the ambience
of this game. I do love the artwork. where what
direction they went into um it's not like a super
super scary game but i i you guys know i love
lovecraft like hp lovecraft i i love like that
existential like dread and like i don't know
like the dark you can't like escape or get out
of like a never -ending cycle, and I love that
about this game, because it does that very well.
So, I don't know if they... Did you read the
books? I read the first one. I didn't read them
all, but I'm going to. Yeah, you should. I think
you would like them. I'm sure I would. The first
one's kind of slow. Well, yeah. They definitely...
Up until the last one, it picks up pretty good.
Yeah, yeah. I don't know if this game... I'm
sure they don't do it on purpose, but... How
every level is just kind of bland and all kind
of the same. I mean, you go into the same tower
every single time. So you're kind of doing the
same thing over and over again. I know it's a
limitation in a retro game thing, but I like
to think that it's kind of like that. You're
doing the same thing over and over again. That's
why you're kind of not going like you're kind
of going Baroque. I mean, that just comes with
this genre, too, so it's to be expected. Yeah,
and another thing, too, is because on Retro Achievements,
it's a roguelike dungeon crawler. It's not a
roguelike. It's just not. It's just a very retro
dungeon crawler, and that's just what it is.
There's no roguelike elements. That's the only
really grape I had. It's the game's fault, but
it's just not a roguelike. There's two different
types. There's roguelike and roguelite. The roguelite
is the newer ones that have upgrades and stuff.
The original rogue game that this is based off
of didn't have any of that stuff. Yeah. All that
means is it's generally created maps and stuff
every time. That's all it means. Yeah. Would
you recommend it? Yeah, but you have to... You
have to like enjoy a certain niche of video games,
I guess, or just a certain kind of artwork. Because
again, the problem, the gameplay is just lacking.
But if you can kind of, you know, put that to
the side, I guess, and appreciate the artwork
and like the ambience you get from it and everything,
it kind of like that dread. yeah you'll enjoy
it but again the gameplay is just a little rough
okay that's interesting take all right eric what
do you got i i'd say i enjoyed it i had fun playing
it i um i do like that you know the the different
runs you can have like different you know play
styles basically with different mechanics and
stuff okay would you recommend it Yeah, I'd recommend
it. I don't see why you wouldn't play this game.
It's fun. You can make it through it. I would
definitely maybe either read the books or watch
a video on the PS1 game because it explains a
little bit more. There's also this website, NerveTower.
There's a whole bunch of information on there
that explains a lot more about this game. Yeah,
pretty much everything. Yeah, everything. Maybe
if you go through that while playing the game,
it'll make a little bit more sense. I had fun
with it. I mean, I definitely thought it was
something else than what it ended up being, but
it's still... worth going through i think okay
yeah i mean i don't know i i guess i enjoy this
game um i i wonder if i had gotten if i hadn't
been so lucky to get through the game so quickly
if i would have but i mean there's like like
you guys said there's a good environment here
the ambience is really good i like the artwork
with the characters and the enemies and stuff
and everything it is fun to like Go through the
levels and see what new things you can find and
figure out like, you know, combos and setting
things up and see what works best and stuff.
So all that's fun. It's just for me, the game
is just so slow. It's just such a sluggish game.
I don't know. And then like with the story and
stuff, the story is interesting, but you have
to do so much work to like get into it and understand
it and everything. So there's a lot of diving
into. But I think there were like stories that
were released. while the game was out. So it
was in the magazine. It was supposed to be like,
kind of like a combo thing, you know? Yeah. Yeah.
So, so with all that being said, I don't think
I would recommend this game. Um, I just don't
think it's aged very well. Uh, like, like Jacob
said, there's probably better games of this genre
that you can find out there. And then just to,
with being a Japanese exclusive, it's a little
bit harder, I think too, for like a Western audience
to get into it and stuff. So, but not a bad game,
just, uh, just very different. Alright, has this
changed anybody's least most favorites at all?
No. Yeah, this is probably my least favorite
game. Yeah, I was thinking that. I don't think
it is. It's close, but I don't think it has.
I think Castlevania, I said, right? I think that's
still just a little bit below this one. Alright,
cool. That's our thoughts, our ideas for Baroque
for the Sega Saturn. Let us know what you guys
thought. Did you enjoy this game? Did you have
fun? Did you think it was too slow? Did you read
all the supplemental stories and everything?
Let us know. We like hearing from you guys. All
right. And for that, we're going to jump over
to the next game, which we're going to be playing
Survival Kids for the Game Boy Color. Do you
guys have any experience with this game? No.
Never heard of it. Nah. Yeah, me either. I don't
know anything about this game. I didn't play,
like I said, Game Boy Color and Game Boy Advance.
I did not play a lot of stuff on there. Let's
go ahead and take a look at the front of the
box here. It's got a kid, androgynous kid with
a little, is that a little monkey on his head?
Yeah, a little monkey. Depends if it has a tail
or not. Oh, that's a good point. Could be an
ape. With survival kids, like a tribal type of
thing. Is that a robot bee or is that a regular
bee? I don't know. It could be a bird bee or
something. Yeah, it's a gigantic bee. It looks
like a Mega Man robot. And then a crocodile.
Is that a crocodile? Crocodile. Yeah. So obviously
some kind of jungle stuff going on here it looks
like. It looks interesting. I like this cover
art. This is actually a really nice cover art.
There's a radio in the circle there. I wonder
if that'll like play into the game at all. Like
if you can contact people outside the island
or whatever you're on. Yeah. Well, yeah. Like
you got a slingshot. Bow and arrow. Fishing rod.
Some book thing. Yeah. I'm sure that's all part
of the game. It's got a very, like, 90s manga
look to it. Yeah. There's this art on the cover
here. And then your house is on the bottom. Yeah,
I hope that's not my house. That's tiny. You
can upgrade it. You're a kid, bro. You'll fit.
And he made a... What is that made out of, though?
Stucco? He made a stucco house? That's, like,
cardboard. It's kind of advanced for a kid like
that, isn't it? Is there multiple kids? Is there
just one kid? It does say survival kids. Survival
kids, yeah. I hope the monkey's there. That's
all I care about. Yeah, monkey. All right, let's
take a look at the back here. Uncover secrets
about this mysterious island. Hone your survival
skills to get through the day. Improvise and
create tools to hunt and protect. Think you're
old enough to live on your own? Now prove it.
Hmm. Ooh. Displays up to 56 colors. Wow. That's
pretty good. That second screenshot. It's reminding
me of Pokemon. Yeah, the one in the middle there.
The text box looks so much like Pokemon. Yeah,
it does. I mean, that's just classic Game Boy.
Yeah, I know. Yeah, I feel like that or like
the Legend of Zelda. Very similar. Yeah, that's
what the bottom right one reminded me of, Legend
of Zelda. I'm sure it's going to be pretty similar
to both. Yeah. Oh, it says Super Game Boy. I
wonder if it's got any enhancements on the Super
Game Boy. Yeah, you guys looking forward to this?
It looks pretty interesting. It's a survival
game, so I'm not too good at those. No, you're
not. I've been playing Minecraft for 15 years
or however long. Yeah, exactly, and we still
haven't beaten it. It's true, we haven't gotten
anywhere in that game. Nope. Alright, yeah, I
mean, I'm looking forward to it. It looks pretty
cool. It's made by Konami. Yeah, Konami's good.
I'm always down to play some weird Game Boy stuff.
Yeah, looks fun. Alright, you guys let us know
out there. If you guys have any prior experience,
if you look forward to this, let us know. In
the meantime, don't forget to check out our Instagram,
