Steve-O
So there there was a period of time where
00:10:20
silkdong
Yeah, they glowed him up a little bit and nobody liked it
00:10:23
Steve-O
yeah the Phillies didn't want to re-sign their contract that they had with the Muppet Workshop. So they made a weird knockoff version of the Fanatic for a certain, like for a few years.
00:10:35
BeyBlade
ah Wait, was this like fake diesel and fake razor Ramone?
00:10:37
Steve-O
He had star eyebrows. Basically,
00:10:41
silkdong
yeah everyone hated it
00:10:43
Steve-O
I'll post it in shit talk.
00:10:44
BeyBlade
Yeah, but yeah, post it.
00:10:44
semendemon
Yeah, I'm lookingm looking it up as we speak because I'm curious. And you're right. He did have star eyes.
00:10:49
BeyBlade
Post it under my feature neck tattoo.
00:10:51
silkdong
He got a glow up. They were like, no. The city was like, no, we're not feeling this. then they paid their rent.
00:10:57
BeyBlade
No, good.
00:10:59
silkdong
Rent was due.
00:11:00
BeyBlade
All right, hold on. Hold on. You know what? I might take it back. I don't think it's that. don't think it's that bad.
00:11:09
Steve-O
Are you looking at the right one?
00:11:10
BeyBlade
Then again, yeah, no, no.
00:11:10
Steve-O
Are you looking at the right one?
00:11:11
BeyBlade
I'm looking at it. I'm looking at it.
00:11:15
semendemon
You might want leave, Devin.
00:11:15
BeyBlade
Now, I think if you see a movement, it might not hit the same. But, like, we're really just talking about the placement of the eyes is different. The eye size is different.
00:11:27
BeyBlade
The stars versus the whatever shape that the fanatic has around his eyes, I don't think is is really world shattering.
00:11:36
semendemon
Substantial.
00:11:38
Steve-O
It's world shattering, Devin.
00:11:39
BeyBlade
I don't think it is.
00:11:39
Steve-O
Imagine if you showed up and you suddenly had giant...
00:11:42
BeyBlade
You saw Timu.
00:11:43
silkdong
Yeah.
00:11:43
BeyBlade
You saw Timu fanatic.
00:11:45
Steve-O
Emu Kopech showing up.
00:11:47
silkdong
Yeah. Yeah. Devin got like a bunch of collagen injections and by his lip like Zac Efron.
00:11:51
BeyBlade
yeah
00:11:53
Steve-O
Look how skinny he is, too.
00:11:53
BeyBlade
and
00:11:57
silkdong
Yeah, that's Ozempic Fanatic. That was Ozempic Fanatic.
00:12:00
BeyBlade
now Now, that's what I'm saying. and like If all of a sudden he was like weirdly skinny.
00:12:02
semendemon
Oh my good lord. what You know what that is? I'll tell you what that is.
00:12:05
BeyBlade
that's just the so It's the giant skeleton, right?
00:12:07
semendemon
It's the giant skeleton made for the fucking fanatic costume over it.
00:12:10
Steve-O
okay ah
00:12:12
semendemon
That is pretty South Jersey of them.
00:12:13
BeyBlade
That's pretty good, actually. that's That's pretty all-time. I like it.
00:12:19
BeyBlade
ah Yeah.
00:12:20
Steve-O
I feel like that is somewhere around here.
00:12:22
semendemon
Yeah.
00:12:22
BeyBlade
Is that right next to a Harley Davidson

Protests and Ethics

00:12:24
BeyBlade

00:12:24
Steve-O

00:12:25
BeyBlade

00:12:26
Steve-O

00:12:28
semendemon
That looks like South Jersey to me.
00:12:30
Steve-O
We're looking at pictures of the fanatic now.
00:12:30
BeyBlade
Hell yeah, dude.
00:12:32
Steve-O
So this is, uh, this audio.
00:12:33
BeyBlade
It makes sense. Makes sense.
00:12:35
Steve-O
Okay.
00:12:35
semendemon
Yeah, um I'm not for that fanatic. I'll tell you that. I don't like a super thin anything.
00:12:40
BeyBlade
Not that telling you right now. No, dude, you know what? Don't take, don't say shit. You can't take back.
00:12:44
Steve-O
i would I would take Ozempic Fanatic before replaced.
00:12:45
BeyBlade
You're saying, you're saying spring training. No, no, hold on. You're saying spring training, right?
00:12:49
semendemon
What? And he's that tall?
00:12:51
BeyBlade
You see the egg the egg hatches and ah and a 10-foot tall skinny fanatic climbs out like a like a celestial terror?
00:12:51
semendemon
That's so scary. I don't know.
00:13:02
semendemon
Is there reason why no mascot's this skinny? It's just weird, man.
00:13:06
BeyBlade
don't know, dude.
00:13:08
semendemon
Skinny mascots.
00:13:09
Steve-O
Hop should be that big.
00:13:11
semendemon
Who? Hop?
00:13:11
BeyBlade
Yeah, B-Hop.
00:13:12
Steve-O
Hop.
00:13:12
BeyBlade
Yeah, yeah. B-Hop? Or not B-Hop. Hip-Hop.
00:13:15
Steve-O
Hip hop.
00:13:15
silkdong
be ah Yeah, but Bernard Hopkins is the the new mascot.
00:13:16
BeyBlade
yeah
00:13:16
semendemon
Guys.
00:13:17
BeyBlade
Bernard Hopkins? Yeah.
00:13:20
semendemon
If hop Hop would be 10 feet tall, is that what you want?
00:13:21
silkdong
I'll take it.
00:13:23
BeyBlade
Yeah, well, I mean, he's a basketball mascot.
00:13:25
Steve-O
I want to see a mascot who doesn't need to jump to dunk.
00:13:29
semendemon
Okay.
00:13:29
BeyBlade
No, no, no.
00:13:30
semendemon
All right.
00:13:30
BeyBlade
No, no. Because I want to see a 10-foot tall mascot still use a trampoline and just...
00:13:34
semendemon
yeah but Yeah, you gotta use the trampoline, man.
00:13:36
Steve-O
Still has to stomp through it.
00:13:38
BeyBlade
He still needs it because his knees are shot.
00:13:41
semendemon
Fucking head would slam on the ground every time he does a flip.
00:13:41
BeyBlade
Yeah, he has Embiid knees, dude. you kidding me?
00:13:45
semendemon
His head slams on the ground. Yeah. It's too tall.
00:13:50
BeyBlade
Brutal concussions every every night.
00:13:55
semendemon
I'm not for a tall, skinny mascot in any way, shape, or form, fellas.
00:13:55
BeyBlade
Give it a rest.
00:13:59
semendemon
I gotta come out against this one.
00:14:00
BeyBlade
Oh, well.
00:14:01
Steve-O
ah So yeah speaking of like mascots and like suits and stuff like that, I've been seeing people in Portland wearing in these inflatable suits while protesting ice.
00:14:12
semendemon
Yeah, the frog costumes, right?
00:14:13
silkdong
Is it to protect themselves?
00:14:15
Steve-O
To protect themselves and also like kind of be like, because on TV, you watch TV and you see like, they're like, oh, look at Antifa. And then you see a bunch of people in like inflatable Halloween costumes. And you're like this.
00:14:27
Steve-O
Really? This is your big. This is your big bad. This is your final boss.
00:14:29
semendemon
Yeah.
00:14:30
silkdong
that's not That's not Eddington's Antifa, I'll tell you that much.
00:14:33
Steve-O
Yeah, that is not editing Zantifa.
00:14:33
semendemon
Yeah.
00:14:36
Steve-O
Here's my question. What if they were in like sports team mascot outfits?
00:14:42
semendemon
Oh, well, they would be... If you saw someone brutalizing the fanatic, they they would instantly create hate.
00:14:46
BeyBlade
Yeah, that would be it.
00:14:48
Steve-O
No, that's what I'm saying. like
00:14:50
semendemon
Oh, totally. no you're not wrong.
00:14:50
Steve-O
If like every sports team's like mascot was out there and they were just like getting pepper sprayed and like beaten with batons, like you'd see just like caravans of people flying out to go defend.
00:15:02
semendemon
Yep.
00:15:03
Steve-O
What was the the Colorado Rockies mascot?
00:15:06
BeyBlade
Dinger?
00:15:07
silkdong
Dinger.
00:15:07
Steve-O
Dinger.
00:15:08
semendemon
Dinger. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. The only one I wouldn't mind would be the Dallas Cowboys one because this is a big dumb cowboy.
00:15:15
Steve-O
He's a big, dumb cowboy.
00:15:15
semendemon
But that's it. Other than that, I think we're...
00:15:20
Steve-O
But that would be so impactful.
00:15:20
BeyBlade
Well, so so the problem, though, is you you would need like you would need the real suits because I'll be honest, right?
00:15:22
Steve-O
That would turn so many people.
00:15:26
BeyBlade
You know, this is very this is very much a Philly thing. But, you know, like Philly Omo.
00:15:32
semendemon
Yeah.
00:15:32
Steve-O
Yeah, i know Philly Elmo.
00:15:33
BeyBlade
Like you don't need like ah somebody that looks like they're like in L.A. trying to get autographs, right? You don't need or sell.
00:15:38
Steve-O
Right.
00:15:40
BeyBlade
You need like a real deal suit because otherwise you're beating up a crackhead in a.
00:15:43
Steve-O
Yeah, you don't want to see the the things you see outside of man's Chinese theater.
00:15:47
BeyBlade
Yeah, you know, you need something, you need something good.
00:15:51
semendemon
The thing is, I saw too, is the the ah police were spraying pepper spray into the air vents, but it can't make it all the way up the costume. it's just pooling around their feet.
00:16:01
silkdong
right.
00:16:02
semendemon
So yeah, they're kind of like pepper spray retarded.
00:16:03
BeyBlade
So that's interesting because did you, so I remember a few months ago i saw somebody spray would spray on the one of those things with like fart gas and it almost killed the guy.
00:16:14
semendemon
Whoa.
00:16:15
BeyBlade
And i'm like, how does pepper spray not do the same exact thing?
00:16:17
semendemon
It's fart. It's fart.
00:16:17
Steve-O
Pepper's got weight. Pepper's got weight. Farts inflate.
00:16:20
BeyBlade
Farts?
00:16:21
semendemon
Farts inflate.
00:16:21
BeyBlade
Those guys, yo.
00:16:24
semendemon
Simple thing to remember that old little rhyme.
00:16:26
Steve-O
The old adage.
00:16:26
BeyBlade
Yeah, yeah.
00:16:26
semendemon
Pepper's got weight. Farts inflate.
00:16:29
BeyBlade
Never mind. You know what? I'll never forget that now. It's locked in. i How silly of me. No.
00:16:37
semendemon
Well, um I'm happy for them because it's always silly beating up a big frog, right? Everybody's going to see that. going to look like idiots. Yeah. And I don't think they really care because they're getting paid $50,000 signing bonuses and a bunch of good benefits.
00:16:53
semendemon
Have you guys seen the commercial for ice recently? Have you guys?
00:16:57
silkdong
Which one?
00:16:57
BeyBlade
no
00:16:57
silkdong
The Theo Vaughn one that he asked them to take down?
00:16:59
semendemon
No, not the obama one but one that's like on I heard one on Spotify and I saw one on television as well. um Yeah, it's pretty fucking terrible.
00:17:11
semendemon
They're offering a shitload of money to sign up to be
00:17:14
BeyBlade
Oh, to like rat up. Oh, okay.
00:17:16
semendemon
be a sack of shit basically. Um, yeah, good benefits.
00:17:20
BeyBlade
Yeah, wear a mask. No one will ever know it's you. And, uh.
00:17:24
semendemon
Except if you're, if you're that dreadlock guy who beat up all the women, I think everybody got a video of him doing that.
00:17:27
BeyBlade
Yeah. Just like, that just the worst dude ever, you know.
00:17:33
semendemon
Yeah. So, uh, not a fan, not a kills.
00:17:35

silkdong
That's why you're out.

Oh, yeah, baby. I don't care about slavers.
00:18:36
Steve-O
That Chris Kalani.
00:18:37

I never once said I cared about human slavery. That's why I went to Riyadh, so I can make all that money and not care still.
00:18:44
silkdong
Mm hmm.
00:18:46
Steve-O
that was Yeah, he he did say that episode two of this podcast.
00:18:53
semendemon
any place that uses blood to make buildings you gotta you gotta second guess it when you go to the comedy special right like that's that's not cool well uh i i that would be great but i don't think that's happening
00:19:00
silkdong
Yeah.
00:19:01
BeyBlade
When it seeps out of the building like that, yeah.
00:19:03
Steve-O
Okay.
00:19:07
BeyBlade
When you see the nope alien just spit blood all over a building.
00:19:12
semendemon
it's kind of what that's what riad is like so i understand um
00:19:14
BeyBlade
Yeah.
00:19:18
semendemon
Wow, that's crazy. All these comedians that used to stand up for stuff.
00:19:22
BeyBlade
Yeah, that that bummed me out, not gonna lie.
00:19:24
semendemon
That's pretty... know, Pete Davidson, that's like the craziest one. Because those people like killed his dad. That's
00:19:30
Steve-O
That's what I said.
00:19:33
semendemon
the craziest thing ever.
00:19:33
BeyBlade
Yeah.
00:19:33
silkdong
It's crazy.
00:19:35
BeyBlade
Yeah.
00:19:35
semendemon
Like how hard up do you gotta be to not to take to not take a hard line about that.
00:19:41
BeyBlade
I mean, from my understanding, it's like if they said no, they would just double the bag over and over again.
00:19:48
semendemon
Jesus Christ.
00:19:49
BeyBlade
until Because i'm this guy comedian Shane Gillis was like, yeah, you know?
00:19:52
silkdong
So man, Aziz Ansar, he's got to pay for his mansion. All right? These guys...
00:19:55
semendemon
Of course, of Kevin Hart, that guy needs money.
00:19:56
silkdong
Kevin Hart? He's got a family to feed.
00:19:59
BeyBlade
Yeah.
00:20:00
semendemon
If I know anybody needs money, it's Kevin Hart.
00:20:01
silkdong
Yeah.
00:20:02
BeyBlade
Yeah. If I know a struggling comic, it's Kevin Hart. No, but yeah, like I think Shane Gillis said he like told them he's like, eventually you're going to find a number that i I will have to say yes to. So please stop doing that.
00:20:18
BeyBlade
He's told he told his agent.
00:20:18
semendemon
Unbelievable.
00:20:19
BeyBlade
He's like, tell them that because I just do not want to do it. But it will just get to a point where like I'd be I have to do it. So he's like, please stop. And they did.
00:20:31
semendemon
Wow.
00:20:32
BeyBlade
So, I mean, it sounds like they're just willing to throw money everywhere.
00:20:36
semendemon
Yeah, that's what happens when you are trying to cover up all the terrible things you're doing. You gotta, you gotta bring comedians and make everybody laugh.
00:20:42
BeyBlade
Make them laugh. Yeah.
00:20:43
Steve-O
Make

00:22:28
semendemon
Like I always thought it was just spectacle and that's really it. Like.
00:22:31
BeyBlade
Yeah, but like even even back then, there's no spectacle.
00:22:31
Steve-O
I think, i think, yeah.
00:22:35
BeyBlade
You know, yeah at that point, you just appreciate it for what they did for the time. But like, it's not even, you know, again, with like modern eyes, it's not impressive.
00:22:44
semendemon
Well, with modern eyes, obviously, but like back then it was something to behold.
00:22:46
BeyBlade
Yes. Yeah, but like as a movie, it's still.
00:22:49
Steve-O
1982 came out the same year E.T. and The Thing?
00:22:53
BeyBlade
Yeah, so so then I was just telling Jenny this story and I was like, you know what?
00:22:53
semendemon
Wow. Those are two better movies than that.
00:22:58
BeyBlade
So, you know, fuck it. Let's just I'm going to put Tron Legacy on. And I watched it because i cause i I would say, I was like, yeah, Tron Legacy is another just like equally dry, boring, like I couldn't tell you the plot of that movie if you had a gun to my head type movie.
00:23:17
semendemon
Mm-hmm.
00:23:18
BeyBlade
And I rewatched it and the the visuals are good.
00:23:21
silkdong
And i really liked
00:23:23
BeyBlade
The visuals are very pretty.
00:23:25
Steve-O
What about that young?
00:23:25
silkdong
it. And the music is good.
00:23:27
BeyBlade
The music's really good. Yeah.
00:23:29
Steve-O
but music's the best thing in these movies, apparently.
00:23:31
semendemon
Yep. I also, ah Steve was going to bring this up, but I'm second seconding it.
00:23:32
BeyBlade
the
00:23:37
semendemon
What did young Jeff Bridges look like now?
00:23:39
BeyBlade
Oh, no, he it looked funny then. Now it's like it's it's borderline awful.
00:23:42
semendemon
Yeah.
00:23:46
semendemon
Yeah.
00:23:46
BeyBlade
Like, it's like, oh, my God.
00:23:47
semendemon
Yeah. Mm-hmm.
00:23:48
BeyBlade
Now, that being said, I was watching this and I was like, it looks it like it's shot really. don't say it's like shot extremely well, but like there's something to it right behind the camera. And I'm like, who's that?
00:24:03
BeyBlade
Who's that director who directed this? Oh, turns out it's a Top Gun Maverick guy, the F1 guy.
00:24:07
Steve-O
Oh, you want to.
00:24:08
semendemon
Mmm.
00:24:08
BeyBlade
And i was like I was like, oh, that makes a little bit of sense.
00:24:09
silkdong
ah
00:24:09
semendemon
Mmm.
00:24:10
silkdong
Oh.
00:24:12
BeyBlade
You know, just what's that?
00:24:13
Steve-O
You want to hear something crazy watching movies from the 2010s in comparison to movies made now? It is so fucking jarring because those were movies made on actual sets.
00:24:25
semendemon
Mmm.
00:24:26
BeyBlade
Yeah, a little crazy, right?
00:24:27
Steve-O
So like, yeah, and like you watch like Tron Legacy and you're like, oh, this is pretty, pretty nice looking.
00:24:30
BeyBlade
Even Tron. Even Tron Legacy, yeah.
00:24:34
Steve-O
And then you watch like fucking like, what was it? Ant-Man and the Quantum of Solace.
00:24:39
BeyBlade
Quantumania dude that that movie again like i don't I like the first one I think the second one is a decent watch that third one is like I'm like dude this must have been just miserable because you're just in a green box for for months like they didn't even try dude it was rough anyway like the light cycles were cool it was still a cool sequence I was like damn that's cool still but
00:24:41
semendemon
you
00:24:41
Steve-O
That's a quantum mania.
00:24:43
silkdong
lot of stuff.
00:25:10
BeyBlade
Negative

Tron Series Analysis

00:25:11
BeyBlade
aura, negative charisma. just like no one's remotely interesting.
00:25:15
semendemon
Who is the lead actor?
00:25:18
BeyBlade
Garrett Hedlund, who was.
00:25:19
semendemon
Who the fuck is Garrett Hedlund?
00:25:22
Steve-O
Garrett the head Headland baby.
00:25:23
BeyBlade
He was ah he is he's not dead.
00:25:24
silkdong
Ha ha ha ha.
00:25:26
BeyBlade
um He was like in that range of like the guy who played. I see. I'm
00:25:35
BeyBlade
yeah there was Hollywood just trying to find its next white. male leading man. Um, and they couldn't find it. And he was one of them. He was one of the swings.
00:25:47
BeyBlade
It was like him, the guy i played John Carter of Mars. Uh, and then like James Cameron tried it with, uh, that other one
00:25:51
Steve-O
Mmm.
00:25:57
semendemon
Oh yeah. oh
00:25:58
BeyBlade
And then, and then somebody tried it with the guy who played captain boomerang and suicide squad. Right. Like there was just, it was just like, Bland white guys.
00:26:10
BeyBlade
And he was just like, he's got abs, but that's pretty much it.
00:26:10
semendemon
Yeah. No charisma. Very, very bland.
00:26:17
BeyBlade
You know?
00:26:17
semendemon
I think that's a, that's a big problem in that movie.
00:26:20
BeyBlade
Yeah. You know? And it's just like the most successful version of that guy.
00:26:21
semendemon
Uh,
00:26:25
BeyBlade
I'll tell you who that is in one second. ah The most successful.
00:26:29
semendemon
And then, like, on top of it, I think the only one who really showed up, Jeff Daniels was good in it. But Martin Sheen was, like, probably the the best part of that movie, acting-wise.
00:26:43
semendemon
Like, he's the one I remember most.
00:26:46
BeyBlade
Wait, Martin, are you talking Tron Legacy?
00:26:47
semendemon
art
00:26:48
Steve-O
Michael Sheen. You're talking Michael Sheen.
00:26:49
semendemon
michael Michael Sheen. Michael Sheen. Thank you. Michael Sheen is, like, the best performance in that movie.
00:26:51
BeyBlade
Yeah, yeah.
00:26:55
BeyBlade
Yeah.
00:26:56
semendemon
Hands

00:26:58
BeyBlade
Yeah.
00:26:59
semendemon
Yeah.
00:26:59
BeyBlade
Listen, and I'll tell you what, the the amalgamation of all those ah actors I was just talking about, and the only one that's remotely successful is Charlie Hunnam.
00:27:07
Steve-O
Oh, but don't forget the uncredited Cillian Murphy cameo Tron Legacy.
00:27:09
silkdong
Ooh. Charlie Hunnam, a.k.a.
00:27:13
BeyBlade

00:27:14

00:27:27
BeyBlade

00:27:30
semendemon
Wait, he's the...
00:27:31
BeyBlade
This is crazy. No, no, this is crazy because I watched it, right? And he's in it. And he looks like somebody and I couldn't place him.
00:27:40
semendemon
Who is he the son of? Is he the son of...
00:27:42
BeyBlade
He's the, yeah, he's, he's dealing.
00:27:42
Steve-O

00:27:44
semendemon
oh he's Jeff Daniels' character's son.
00:27:45
BeyBlade
Yeah.
00:27:46
semendemon
I see.
00:27:46
Steve-O
no No, no, no, no, no.
00:27:47
BeyBlade
Yeah.
00:27:47
semendemon
No? Oh!
00:27:48
BeyBlade
No, he's like the bad guy's son.
00:27:48
Steve-O
He's the bad guy's...
00:27:50
semendemon
Oh...
00:27:52
BeyBlade
So, so here's the thing, right? If you watch the movie, cause he's only in it for like one scene, right?
00:27:56
silkdong
Thank you.
00:27:57
BeyBlade
It's the very beginning and he's smug about it. He's like, Oh, we created the most, you know, unhackable system of all time. And we're going to sell it for triple the price. but but the but He's like the lead architect.
00:28:09
BeyBlade
And then Garrett Hedlund's character, and it's the very beginning when you find that he's like a daredevil and he's Jeff Briggs' sons and all that. And then he hacks it and then he puts it out. And the guy, the the the head of the of NCOM is pissed at Celine Murphy's character.
00:28:25
BeyBlade
And he goes, who cares? Like, he's so smug about it. He's like, whatever, say it's a gift. And he just walks away.
00:28:32
semendemon
Wow.
00:28:33
BeyBlade
He throws his phone on the table and he walks away. Like, he's the owner of the company.
00:28:37
semendemon
wow
00:28:38
BeyBlade
Like, the scene is like, hey, this thing you just developed that you said is unhackable just got hacked. And he is unflapped. Completely unflappable. He's like, yeah, who cares?
00:28:50
BeyBlade
Say it was a gift. See you later. And then you never see him again.
00:28:52
semendemon
So he, see you never see him again. They don't set him up as any type of villain or anything.
00:28:56
Steve-O
but that's the that's the thing Well, that's the thing.
00:28:57
BeyBlade
um I thought he was going to be like ah a Tron, ah a Tron version of him.
00:28:59
Steve-O
So Tron Legacy, that was them trying to start.
00:29:01
BeyBlade
And i looked I went on IMDb and I was like, who is this guy? And then I just kind of I couldn't find him. And then I lost interest.
00:29:08
Steve-O
Did Devin just Tron?
00:29:08
BeyBlade
And then I was like, let me just watch the movie instead being on my phone.
00:29:09
semendemon
Oh man, he entered, he entered it.
00:29:10
silkdong
Oh, he troned out.
00:29:11
Steve-O
He just Tron'd out, bro.
00:29:12
BeyBlade
And then that's so funny, though, because he does stick out when you know it's him.
00:29:12
semendemon
He entered Tron.
00:29:13
Steve-O
He just full-on Tron'd.
00:29:15
semendemon
He's probably on a light cycle right now.
00:29:16
Steve-O
Oh.
00:29:17
silkdong
He got laser disc in the back and lost half his body.
00:29:18
BeyBlade
But he kind of doesn't look like Cillian Murphy at all.
00:29:19
semendemon
You know what? He's on a light cycle.
00:29:20
Steve-O
yeah
00:29:21
semendemon
It's probably...
00:29:22
Steve-O
it's
00:29:22
semendemon
He's having a good time.
00:29:23
BeyBlade
It's kind of crazy.
00:29:23
Steve-O
He's hanging out with Tron.
00:29:25
BeyBlade
Good for him.
00:29:25
Steve-O
He's playing disc.
00:29:27
semendemon
yeah he's throwing that disc around and shit. And he's, like, having a hard time catching it.
00:29:29
BeyBlade
That's all I have.
00:29:31
semendemon
But, man, he's good on that cycle.
00:29:32
Steve-O
Give me that back. That's my ID.
00:29:33
semendemon
yeah Nobody's gonna know who I am. Give me the frisbee.
00:29:37
Steve-O
God damn it.
00:29:37
semendemon
Damn it.
00:29:38
Steve-O
I need my Frisbee bag.
00:29:40
semendemon
What's
00:29:41
Steve-O
I'm doing the arcade an hour.
00:29:44
semendemon
that big head? Why you put a big head there?
00:29:47
BeyBlade
Who's got a big head? I i died for a second.
00:29:49
Steve-O
No, we said you got Tron.
00:29:49
semendemon
yeah
00:29:50
BeyBlade
who's got
00:29:51
Steve-O
You got Tron.
00:29:51
BeyBlade
I got Tron. Did I Tron out?
00:29:52
silkdong
Yeah, you got Tronned.
00:29:53
BeyBlade
did i try was i like Dude, I got digitized in the Tron, dude.
00:29:53
semendemon
You lost your frisbee.
00:29:54
Steve-O
Yeah, you troned out.
00:29:55
semendemon
You lost your frisbee and you saw a big head you saw a big head and he got and you were like, why is that big head here?
00:29:59
BeyBlade
Yeah, I was like, they're letting me go way too long on this Gillian Murphy thing.
00:30:03
semendemon
It's
00:30:04
BeyBlade
i was like, something must be wrong, dude. Well, anyway, yeah.
00:30:08
semendemon
okay. Light cycles are rad.
00:30:09
BeyBlade
That was cool.
00:30:11
semendemon
Frisbees are rad.
00:30:11
BeyBlade
Light Cycles rip. Um...
00:30:14
Steve-O
So this was right before Disney acquired Marvel and Star Wars. So they were planning this to be like the start of their Troniverse.
00:30:24
semendemon
um
00:30:25
Steve-O
but then But then when they got actual, you know, the stuff they wanted, they went, oh, fuck Tron.
00:30:29
semendemon
Well, actually, this is what i this is how I view it.
00:30:29
BeyBlade
Also, like...
00:30:32
semendemon
And i I think it's a little more nuanced than that. I think they saw they saw how bad Star Wars and Marvel properties are doing at the cinema that they're like, oh, we got

Isekai Genre and Tron

00:30:46
semendemon
Tron.
00:30:46
Steve-O
Yeah, they were like they're like, get me the old Blade Runner.
00:30:49
semendemon
Yes.
00:30:50
Steve-O
don't have Blade Runner.
00:30:50
semendemon
Yes. 100%. Yes.
00:30:51
Steve-O
Fuck it, give me Tron then.
00:30:52
semendemon
you one hundred per se yeah
00:30:52
BeyBlade
Yeah, they're like, let's find let's find this property that's never been good.
00:30:57
Steve-O
It's never made us a dime.
00:30:59
BeyBlade
There's never been a good Tron movie.
00:30:59
semendemon
wait We could release Tron right now. And everyone went, all right, all right.
00:31:03
BeyBlade
No, can I, can I, dude, you know what people are saying about Tron Aries? They're like, it's the best Tron movie. They're saying that about Jared Leto led Tron Aries.
00:31:12
semendemon
Oh, boy.
00:31:14
Steve-O
Yeah.
00:31:14
BeyBlade
It's the best Tron movie in a walk. And it's still not good.
00:31:18
Steve-O
That's not fucking hard to do.
00:31:20
BeyBlade
I know, but that's, that's how bad the Tron movies are. They're like, yeah, this piece of shit.
00:31:23
Steve-O
IMDB, they share the same score.
00:31:26
BeyBlade
They're like, this piece of trash is the best Tron movie.
00:31:28
semendemon
Oh, really? So wait.
00:31:29
Steve-O
Actually, IMDB, the best Tron movies is ah Legacy.
00:31:34
semendemon
What?
00:31:34
Steve-O
By 0.1.
00:31:36
BeyBlade
Yeah.
00:31:37
semendemon
Really?
00:31:38
Steve-O
The highest rated Tron thing is the Tron Disney XD cartoon called Tron Uprising.
00:31:43
BeyBlade
that Can I tell you? I watched an episode. I watched one episode of it and I was like, wow.
00:31:48
Steve-O
How was it?
00:31:49
BeyBlade
It was very whatever.
00:31:51
Steve-O
It was mid
00:31:52
BeyBlade
it Well, you know what? ah It has ah Elijah Wood. He plays the guy.
00:31:57
semendemon
Okay.
00:31:57
BeyBlade
And he's basically masquerading as Tron. Right? Because, guys, I don't know if you've remembered this. But you remember how there's kind of like a cool dual-disc-wielding bad guy in Tron Legacy?
00:32:12
semendemon
Sort of. Uh-huh.
00:32:13
BeyBlade
Yeah, exactly.
00:32:13
silkdong
E...s...
00:32:14
BeyBlade
he's like He's like the main goon behind evil Jeff Riggs' character.
00:32:18
semendemon
Oh.
00:32:19
BeyBlade
You find out that he's just Tron reprogrammed. Like the main, you know, the hero Tron.
00:32:26
semendemon
Oh.
00:32:27
BeyBlade
yeah yeah See how it's pulling teeth? This is what I'm talking about. Tron Ares is the best Tron, dude. It's terrible.
00:32:35
Steve-O
Have you seen Tron Aries yet?
00:32:37
BeyBlade
No, I haven't. I was going to today.
00:32:39
Steve-O
But that's why you saw Legacy, right?
00:32:41
BeyBlade
Well, i saw it like early. Yeah, I was just, in a you know, hey hey, you know, I was in a Tron mood.
00:32:43
semendemon
Jared Leto spook you? You were like, oh Oh, no, no, Jared Leto.
00:32:47
BeyBlade
I don't often hit that, but I was like, why not?
00:32:48
semendemon
Look.
00:32:50
BeyBlade
But anyway, the point of the show is ah it's kind of like a Darth Vader Starkiller scenario, right?
00:32:58
Steve-O
Oh, yeah.
00:32:59
BeyBlade
Where like the main guys ah interrogating this this Tron imposter. And then he's like, I need you to be Tron because I know I'm deprogrammed, but also I need you to still be Tron.
00:33:14
BeyBlade
You know, he was kind of like working against the system while being in the system. It's not good. It's...
00:33:21
semendemon
Yeah, dude, um' um you're you're losing me.
00:33:24
silkdong
Yeah, you lost me, dude.
00:33:24
BeyBlade
I got Tron again.
00:33:25
silkdong
I don't know why we troned out here. Talk about Tron.
00:33:28
semendemon
I guess, I mean, we we all feel the same way about this.
00:33:31
BeyBlade
got...
00:33:32
silkdong
I've never been interested in those movies, and I don't i never will be.
00:33:32
Steve-O
my
00:33:36
semendemon
I kind of am in Jon's work.
00:33:36
Steve-O
I understand why why Devin is talking about it because he's he's excited for the new movie.
00:33:40
semendemon
Oh, no, no, no, no. That I get. I'm just asking the room now. Like, do you I don't know, Steve. How do you feel about Tron?
00:33:47
Steve-O
I remember buying the

Film Review: Azrael

00:33:49
Steve-O
DVD, watching it with Devin, and I think we both came to the same consensus that Tron Tron doesn't hang.
00:33:54
semendemon
Okay. All right.
00:33:59
semendemon
just It's kind of boring.
00:33:59
silkdong
yeah
00:34:00
BeyBlade
Tron, no.
00:34:01
semendemon
and even Almost in concept, too, for me. I don't know. like that
00:34:05
Steve-O
Tron don't hang.
00:34:06
semendemon
yeah
00:34:07
BeyBlade
<unk> no
00:34:08
semendemon
I guess it's such a rudimentary concept that it's hard for me to get too interested in it.
00:34:14
Steve-O
But that's the thing, because I think I was talking about this with you Chris, when we were role playing on Wednesday. I love media where the character gets sucked into it. Like last action hero.
00:34:25
semendemon
Yeah, you've said that.
00:34:27
Steve-O
Stay tuned. Like those kinds of movies are my fucking jam.
00:34:33
BeyBlade
Oh, like getting sucked into a universe?
00:34:35
Steve-O
getting a Pleasantville. Like those movies are my fucking jam.
00:34:41
BeyBlade
Wait, so you like Isekai movies, dude?
00:34:41
semendemon
and They're all really good.
00:34:45
Steve-O
I don't think I've ever seen isekai.
00:34:47
BeyBlade
And Isekai is you get sucked into an alternate universe.
00:34:49
silkdong
Thank you.
00:34:50
BeyBlade
That's like the genre.
00:34:51
Steve-O
Okay, okay.
00:34:52
BeyBlade
It's like a big anime trope.
00:34:54
Steve-O
I've never seen any of those.
00:34:56
BeyBlade
You just saw, you just mentioned like 10 of them.
00:34:58
Steve-O
Are you saying that Pleasantville is an isekai?
00:35:02
BeyBlade
Yes!
00:35:04
Steve-O
But that wasn't a thing. I saw it pre-Isekai.
00:35:07
BeyBlade
<unk> know when Isekai was coined.
00:35:10
Steve-O
Pre-Isekai.
00:35:11
BeyBlade
ah Okay, hold on.
00:35:11
semendemon
I don't know. I'll be honest you, Steve. I don't know if I'm as in love with the concept, more so like how it's executed more. like i got Because Pleasantville is executed very well because it's using like the backdrop of racism and shit.
00:35:27
Steve-O
Right.
00:35:29
semendemon
And Last Action Heroes is like a satire of action movies. like what is
00:35:33
BeyBlade
That's a good Isekai.
00:35:33
semendemon
What is Tron outside of just the guy getting sucked into a video?
00:35:37
Steve-O
That's the thing, right? If it had that.
00:35:38
BeyBlade
Well, isn't it kind of, wait, isn't it kind of, at least the original, it was kind of like the one guy, the guy who played Tron was like his friend in the real world, right?
00:35:51
semendemon
Okay.
00:35:51
Steve-O
Yeah, because that's the thing. All the whoever made the program was they look like the the creator.
00:35:58
BeyBlade
Yeah, yeah, yeah. But like, it's not really a thing in then in Legacy. You know?
00:36:06
semendemon
Okay. So it's more or less like it's the, the system is fine. It's people that are ruining Is that what Tron is? Is that like the message of Tron?
00:36:19
semendemon
Like the system can be amazing, but it's just people that are making it awful.
00:36:22
BeyBlade
I mean, kind of like in Tron Legacy. hate that I'm talking about this so much. ah
00:36:28
silkdong
Yeah, me too.
00:36:29
semendemon
i Well, the thing is, now that we're talking about why we all don't like it, like I want to know why I don't like it.
00:36:30
silkdong
Me too.
00:36:30
Steve-O
but
00:36:35
semendemon
Because Steve made a good point about being sucked into media, which I tend to like as well.
00:36:40
BeyBlade
Yeah.
00:36:41
semendemon
And this is the only caveat. and I want to know why.
00:36:44
BeyBlade
Well, it's like it's like.
00:36:45
Steve-O
I have a lead list of isekai movies, by the way.
00:36:47
BeyBlade
Okay.
00:36:47
semendemon
yeah
00:36:48
BeyBlade
All right. Well, ah yeah. So in Tron Legacy, he's trying to create like the the perfect system. That's what he says.
00:36:56
semendemon
Okay.
00:36:56
BeyBlade
ah But he realized, Jeff Riggs just realizes that you know it's only the perfect system from his viewpoint, so he fucks it up.
00:37:03
semendemon
I see.
00:37:03
BeyBlade
right And that's why there's evil Jeff Riggs.
00:37:06
semendemon
I see.
00:37:06
BeyBlade
And then they find, while they're making it, right, Olivia Wilde's character, she's this race of just like naturally created characters.
00:37:16
BeyBlade
beings that yeah yeah yeah hottie hottie toddies dude uh that were created yeah but they they were just like naturally formed they were naturally formed in the tron verse yeah
00:37:17
silkdong
Hotties. Hotties.
00:37:21
semendemon
He's like an AI construct, is what you're saying.
00:37:23
silkdong
AI baddies.
00:37:25
semendemon
Yeah, I bet.
00:37:28
silkdong
Naturally formed baddies.
00:37:30
semendemon
And she's cool, but like, ultimately Jeff Bridges is the is the failure here.
00:37:35
silkdong
Does she get her arm back?
00:37:36
BeyBlade
yeah and yeah yeah she gets her arm chopped off and then he just like does a bunch of things i mean he's like he's god he's still god in that in that world
00:37:36
silkdong
Doesn't she get her arm chopped off?
00:37:43
silkdong
The dude?
00:37:45
semendemon
He's still God in that world.
00:37:45
silkdong
He's the dude. He's the dude.
00:37:47
semendemon
But he's a flawed God. He's admitting that he's flawed.
00:37:49
silkdong
He's also Rooster Cogburn too.
00:37:49
BeyBlade
Yeah.
00:37:51
semendemon
Yeah.
00:37:52
BeyBlade
Yeah. yeah
00:37:53
silkdong
He's the dude slash Rooster Cogburn in Toronto.
00:37:54
semendemon
I guess that's, listen, I'm not saying that's not interesting, but there is, it's hard for me to relate because those other things had kind of like real world impact.
00:38:03
silkdong
Chris is like, but Olivia Wilde does make it a little interesting.
00:38:07
BeyBlade
Listen, she does some heavy lifting just in terms of just making it look better.
00:38:09
silkdong
Yeah, know.
00:38:11
semendemon
Hmm. Maybe I need to watch the Tron movies. i don't
00:38:15
BeyBlade
Don't. Don't.
00:38:16
Steve-O
Do you a Galanian show?
00:38:16
BeyBlade
Dude, Chris, I promise.
00:38:17
Steve-O
Galanian Tron.
00:38:18
BeyBlade
I promise.
00:38:18
silkdong
A lot of intros.
00:38:19
BeyBlade
Yeah. You know, actually, unless you do something like that, but I promise you they're not worth your time.
00:38:25
semendemon
i think you're I think you are right, Devin.
00:38:28
BeyBlade
Yeah.
00:38:28
semendemon
I think you are right, ultimately.
00:38:30
BeyBlade
Well, I watched another very mid. I'd actually say this is this was not good. This was a kill.
00:38:36
Steve-O
Is it an isekai?
00:38:38
BeyBlade
No. I watched a... So, you know, it's it's October, and I'm trying to ensure that I'm watching at least at least one scary movie i a week.
00:38:42
semendemon
October.
00:38:45
silkdong
October. Go birds.
00:38:50
BeyBlade
And I watched this movie today called Azrael. And it's...
00:38:53
silkdong
Oh, no, no, hold on.
00:38:54
BeyBlade
ah Okay.
00:38:55
silkdong
Timeout. Zach Morris, timeout. You watched Asriel because we were talking about night Nightfall last week and we were talking about Jean-Paul Valley.
00:38:58
BeyBlade
Not...
00:39:03
BeyBlade
Not necessarily, but it didn't hurt.
00:39:05
Steve-O
a
00:39:05
silkdong
That's why you watched it.
00:39:06
BeyBlade
So i did fire i fired up I fired up my Kino device, and I was like, I know I got a bunch of horror movies on here.
00:39:07
silkdong
Ha ha!
00:39:13
semendemon
Asriel does sound like like an Amazon Prime AI construct movie.
00:39:13
BeyBlade
and then Asriel...
00:39:17
BeyBlade
It's a Shudder. It's a Shudder movie, dude.
00:39:19
semendemon
Oh boy. I can go either way.
00:39:21
BeyBlade
So it stars Samara Weaving, who I do like, largely.
00:39:26
silkdong
wing.
00:39:27
BeyBlade
um she is...
00:39:28
semendemon
And this is Asriel, the angel of death.
00:39:32
BeyBlade
Yes.
00:39:34
semendemon
Okay. All right.
00:39:34
BeyBlade
Yeah. I mean, it's so

Dawn of the Dead Reflection

00:39:36
BeyBlade
basically the plot of this movie is like the rapture happened.
00:39:40
semendemon
Okay.
00:39:40
BeyBlade
And for one reason or another, no one can speak. Everyone has no voice. Mostly everyone has no voice, whether it's because they all just lost their voices or it's like self-inflicted, who knows?
00:39:56
BeyBlade
you, you, This movie is 99% no dialogue. And boy, does that hurt, especially when you have an actor like Samara Weaving who part of her charm is she is just charming and fun. She's you know she's good at acting.
00:40:15
BeyBlade
ah And it's basically every the rapture has happened, I guess. and they're there' She's just in the woods with her boyfriend, husband, you know, kind of who knows.
00:40:28
BeyBlade
And they they're just being randomly these guys hunt them down and capture them. And they are basically giving her up as a sacrifice to these like burnt looking zombie creatures.
00:40:43
BeyBlade
Who, you know, they don't explain it. They're just like these burnt zombie creatures. And listen, if you're just watching movies for gore, this is, there's two sequences in this movie that are like absolute gnarly, pretty rough to watch type stuff.
00:41:01
BeyBlade
um But other than that, like, it's just, it's just the movie where she's running around and
00:41:10
silkdong
Man, we're really starting off on downer here, Devin.
00:41:13
BeyBlade
ah I'm telling you, man.
00:41:14
silkdong
We lost lost everybody by now.
00:41:15
BeyBlade
Well, listen, it's going to go up. It's going to go up.
00:41:16
semendemon
If it makes you feel any, if it you want to hear an bigger downer, I watched a movie, I can't remember if I watched a new movie. I think I did, but it was so unimpactful that I can't remember if I did or not.
00:41:28
BeyBlade
yeah i Yeah. So, like, unfortunately... ah
00:41:31
semendemon
I don't think I did, actually.
00:41:32
BeyBlade
so So I found out Steve and I watched the same movie ah just like months apart last week. I saw this movie called The Ritual.
00:41:38
Steve-O
yes Yes, we did.
00:41:40
BeyBlade
ah This is much worse than The Ritual. This I would probably give a light kill. It just kind of doesn't do anything unless you really just want to see some gory sequences. And even then, there's two pretty far spread out and it's not all that interesting. So fortunately, Azrael, comment thumbs down.
00:41:58
BeyBlade
But we're going to save it, John. Because Chris had a movie night and I was there and he said, hey I'm going to fire up an oldie but a goodie.
00:42:13
BeyBlade
And that oldie but goodie was Dawn of the Dead.
00:42:15
semendemon
Oh, yeah. Oh, gee.
00:42:16
Steve-O
Oh, Oh.
00:42:16
BeyBlade
The Zack Snyder version.
00:42:16
Steve-O
Oh.
00:42:18
BeyBlade
No, just joking.
00:42:18
Steve-O
oh
00:42:19
BeyBlade
I'm just joking.
00:42:19
semendemon
oh
00:42:19
BeyBlade
It was the 70s version. And dude, i I forgot how good that movie was.
00:42:22
silkdong
ah The OG. It's
00:42:24
semendemon
Oh, gee. Yeah, it's incredible.
00:42:26
silkdong
a good movie.
00:42:27
BeyBlade
Because i like, i and listen, I'm not going to lie, in all seriousness, I do really like that remake.
00:42:27
Steve-O
and
00:42:27
semendemon
It's...
00:42:28
Steve-O
and
00:42:34
BeyBlade
I think that remake's very good. I think it's effective. I think it's a good watch.
00:42:41
BeyBlade
Which kind of pushed the original out of my brain quite a lot. Because when I watched this, it almost felt like I've never seen it before. And that, yeah.
00:42:49
semendemon
it Well, like the you remake, the bones are all pretty much the original.
00:42:51
BeyBlade
Yeah.
00:42:55
semendemon
Like the bones are pretty much there for the original the remake, right? Like they do set up a lot of the same things specifically about getting to the mall, protecting it.
00:43:05
semendemon
but They add a few things with putting characters in the mall that they have to interact with.
00:43:09
BeyBlade
Yeah.
00:43:10
semendemon
But like overall, it's the same sort of ish plot. um And that plot is great. And it's basically wish fulfillment.
00:43:17
BeyBlade
Yes.
00:43:20
semendemon
um When they actually take the mall and they end up, you know, getting everything like the whole idea of being in a mall is at least for, i think millennials and down is like, Oh, we're, we're Kings of the castle.
00:43:29
silkdong
Thank you.
00:43:35
semendemon
We can take whatever we want. It is interesting to see how that plays out on a younger audience, but I still think it works.
00:43:42
BeyBlade
Yeah.
00:43:42
semendemon
Yeah. Yeah, I just think it's about like ah like greed and shit. like it's It's a lovely movie about like what makes you think you're any better than anybody else in this world.
00:43:48
BeyBlade
Yeah. And it's...
00:43:53
BeyBlade
Yeah, and it's it's definitely gets a little gonzo near the end, right?
00:43:57
semendemon
It does.
00:43:57
BeyBlade
It's just like everybody's insane, um which is fine.
00:44:00
semendemon
But the Raiders are like fun and they are kind of like showing you how far our society has collapsed to.
00:44:00
BeyBlade
Yeah.
00:44:07
semendemon
like Things are and not good.
00:44:08
BeyBlade
it And also on a personal note, it was kind of fun to watch Chris just go like super movie nerd on everyone. He was like, you know, actually there's three endings to this film.
00:44:14
semendemon
ah
00:44:17
BeyBlade
And he just like starts breaking them down and like what year and what VHS tapes and it like all that.
00:44:18
Steve-O
Mm-hmm.
00:44:24
BeyBlade
So that was kind of fun. But.
00:44:25
semendemon
The Dario Argento cut. And yeah.
00:44:27
BeyBlade
whoo Yeah, man, dude, it's worth a while. It's worth the rewatch. It really is.
00:44:33
semendemon
I also, I, oh, every time I watch, every time I watch a George Romero movie, I'm always reminded to how good of an editor he was.
00:44:34
BeyBlade
That's a good movie to just throw on.
00:44:40
semendemon
Like everything. So like, boom, boom, boom, boom.
00:44:42
BeyBlade
Yeah, yeah, this this this one really sticks out.
00:44:44
semendemon
No. Yeah, there's like a little fat, but like it's for fun. It's for funsies.
00:44:51
BeyBlade
Yeah.
00:44:51
semendemon
Everything else is pretty lean.
00:44:52
BeyBlade
And it's like, it's just kind of fun. I don't know. Maybe fun's not not the right word, but it's like refreshing just to see how like a movie where no one's really that good at doing anything.
00:45:05
semendemon
Hmm.
00:45:06
BeyBlade
Ken Forey's pretty good, but like Roger's an idiot, psycho, borderline, ah Stephen, Flyboy's worthless, beyond worthless.
00:45:17
Steve-O
Whoa. All right. Hold on.
00:45:19
BeyBlade
Oh, you're a Flyboy fan?
00:45:19
Steve-O
No, no, you're talking, no, no, no, you're talking fly boy.
00:45:19
silkdong
Yeah.
00:45:21
Steve-O
I'm sorry. I was confusing. Chris and I used to have a whole scaling system.
00:45:25
BeyBlade
i know Chris mentioned this.
00:45:27
Steve-O
Okay.
00:45:29
BeyBlade
it was It was like what?
00:45:29
semendemon
that's right
00:45:30
BeyBlade
It was like five fly boys equal one Peter or something.
00:45:33
semendemon
Crazy white guy.
00:45:34
BeyBlade
Yeah, crazy white guy.
00:45:34
Steve-O
One crazy white guy. Yeah.
00:45:36
semendemon
Yeah.
00:45:36
BeyBlade
yeah.
00:45:37
semendemon
Two crazy white guys equal one Peter.
00:45:37
BeyBlade
yeah
00:45:40
semendemon
Peter's like the highest tier of Survivor.
00:45:43
BeyBlade
And, you know, i didn't we didn't talk about it on the night, but I really i reallyly love the ah the fucking scientist with the eye patch. What a fun little...
00:45:53
Steve-O
Oh, I want to wear an eyepatch.
00:45:54
BeyBlade
one little Yeah, let me be...
00:45:58
semendemon
Dummies!
00:45:59
silkdong
Leon? You want Leon to wear an eye badge?
00:45:59
semendemon
Dummies!
00:46:00
Steve-O
and
00:46:01
BeyBlade
Yeah, he dude, he's just wearing, like, for no reason. It's not like he survived the zombie attack.
00:46:04
semendemon
Dummies!
00:46:05
BeyBlade
Just...
00:46:07
semendemon
I love that guy so much.
00:46:07
BeyBlade
Just like, nah, dude, I want to just...
00:46:09
semendemon
We can nuke all the big cities.
00:46:11
BeyBlade
Give me an iPatch, dude.
00:46:13
semendemon
Doctor, you want to give these people, you want to give these things their food?
00:46:13
BeyBlade
I'm going to act in nine movies.
00:46:18
BeyBlade
know.
00:46:19
Steve-O
That's the whole reason why when we did Night of the Living Dead the musical, I insisted I wore an eyepatch.
00:46:22
BeyBlade
I know.
00:46:24
semendemon
That guy's great, isn't he?
00:46:26
BeyBlade
That guy rules.
00:46:26
Steve-O
He's top tier.
00:46:29
BeyBlade
But, uh...
00:46:29
Steve-O
He was like, i want my character to have gone through a tragedy where he had his eye ripped out.
00:46:35
semendemon
We must remain logical.
00:46:35
BeyBlade
Yeah, unrelated to zombies.
00:46:37
semendemon
We must remain
00:46:37
Steve-O
It could have been related. like He was on the way to the news station and it got pulled.
00:46:39
BeyBlade
No. My vision is he just had, like, a stabling accident or something.
00:46:42
semendemon
logical. Logical.
00:46:44
Steve-O
He just... He was making flyers.
00:46:49
BeyBlade
ah!
00:46:50
Steve-O
My eye!
00:46:50
BeyBlade
Yeah, so turn...
00:46:51
semendemon
Logical. That beginning scene too where he's like, somebody get that fucking idiot out of here! Like everything's going to shit.
00:46:57
Steve-O
Oh, in the news station? Mm-hmm.
00:46:58
semendemon
if
00:46:58
BeyBlade
yeah Yeah, like, that's fun.
00:47:00
semendemon
Love that.
00:47:00
BeyBlade
That's just like, ah.
00:47:00
semendemon
I mean, weird.
00:47:01
Steve-O
It's...
00:47:02
BeyBlade
I love 80s news stations, dude.
00:47:02
Steve-O
Hectic news station...
00:47:05
BeyBlade
They're so fun.
00:47:06
Steve-O
Dude, people are smoking and they're just like running around. They're like literally tossing paper at one another. And then that scene goes instantly into the apartment ah raid, which that's another fucking crazy scene.
00:47:16
semendemon
Yeah, yeah.
00:47:20
semendemon
Yep, yep.
00:47:20
BeyBlade
Yeah.
00:47:21
semendemon
It's just slowly everything's falling apart, you know.
00:47:23
BeyBlade
Dude, Steve's about to fire up Dawn of the Dead tonight, dude.
00:47:23
Steve-O
a Dude,
00:47:27
BeyBlade
He's amped.
00:47:27
Steve-O
they I think it was either last year or the year before put out the 4K version of that. And I think you can watch that on YouTube.
00:47:33
semendemon
Yeah. I have that here.
00:47:36
BeyBlade
Yeah.
00:47:36
Steve-O
It's so good.
00:47:36
semendemon
I definitely. is wonderful looking.
00:47:39
Steve-O
ay
00:47:40
semendemon
um Yeah.
00:47:41
BeyBlade
Yeah. Yeah. So, so it was kind of a downturn, but Dawn and the Dead definitely brought it up, brought everything back up for me.
00:47:42
semendemon
Good stuff, man.
00:47:48
Steve-O
I remember Chris bought a copy of that at the local video store years ago.
00:47:54
BeyBlade
Oh, dude, he pulled it out like it was drugs.
00:47:55
Steve-O
It was because it was it was it was a VHS copy.
00:47:57
BeyBlade
He was up check it out.
00:48:00
Steve-O
He spent like $40 on it.
00:48:02
semendemon
Yeah.
00:48:03
Steve-O
In like the year 20, like 2002.
00:48:03
semendemon
That's
00:48:04
Steve-O
It's masterpiece. Hmm.
00:48:06
semendemon
And it's worth some money now. It's because it's the director's cut and it has the has two endings, two of the cut endings. So, yeah, that thing is that's something.
00:48:18
semendemon
And I treasure it. Like, I do absolutely love that thing.
00:48:24
Steve-O
masterpiece
00:48:24
semendemon
I would put that in a safe, you know, that kind of thing.
00:48:27
Steve-O
and
00:48:28
semendemon
um Yeah, it's just that movie is so so nostalgic for me. I absolutely fucking love it. Like, there's no, it's a total Mary. It's one of, and one of the best films I've ever made.
00:48:42
Steve-O
Would
00:48:42
semendemon
I'd

Ed Gein and True Crime Ethics

00:48:43
Steve-O
you say that's one of the best trilogies?
00:48:43
semendemon
say.
00:48:45
semendemon
Yeah, no.
00:48:46
silkdong
And then...
00:48:46
semendemon
And like day of the dead, like the older I get, the more I'm like, I really like this too. Like, this is as silly and, and hammy as some of the actors are like, it's funny. And I love bub.
00:48:59
semendemon
Like, I, I just, it's so much to love about day of the dead for me.
00:49:04
Steve-O
Hmm.
00:49:05
semendemon
You know, there's really like the best jump scare I've ever seen in my life.
00:49:09
Steve-O
Hmm.
00:49:09
semendemon
I swear to God, they put it in stranger things. That's how good of a fucking jump scare it is. Like it's the one with the hands coming through the wall.
00:49:17
Steve-O
It's one with the hands. Right.
00:49:20
semendemon
Like yeah it's, it's so fucking good. Um, yeah, like it's, they're classics. They're all classics. Yeah, it is a great, that's one of my favorite trilogies ever. Hands down, hands down.
00:49:33
Steve-O
Go watch it. ah Halloween. Just excellence. If you want something for the Halloween season.
00:49:37
BeyBlade
Yeah, yeah it's ah it's a good one, man.
00:49:39
semendemon
Yeah.
00:49:40
BeyBlade
For sure.
00:49:40
semendemon
Solid, solid trio. Now the remakes, uh, some are good. Some are really bad.
00:49:46
BeyBlade
ah
00:49:47
Steve-O
James Gunn write The Dawn of the Dead 2004? a weird one. Because
00:49:51
semendemon
Yes. Yeah. He wrote, co-wrote that.
00:49:53
BeyBlade
Did he really?
00:49:54
semendemon
I think he did. I think Steve is right. And I think, um, the, uh, Night of the Living Dead remake, the colorized one by directed by Tom Savini, uh,
00:50:07
BeyBlade
Not so good.
00:50:08
semendemon
Not so good. Not great.
00:50:13
Steve-O
that's a weird one because i think that was ah George Romero and I forget the name of the other guy. They had their like falling out.
00:50:23
BeyBlade
oh Yeah. Sorry. ah Dawn of the Dead screenplay.
00:50:25
semendemon
Is that Dan O'Bannon?
00:50:26
BeyBlade
2004.
00:50:27
semendemon
I think it's Dan O'Bannon, right?
00:50:27
BeyBlade
James
00:50:29
Steve-O
ah I don't think it was Dan O'Bannon he had a falling out with. I think Dan O'Bannon directed Return of the Dead.
00:50:34
semendemon
He did return. return Yeah.
00:50:36
Steve-O
Right. um But I think the producer of um Night of Living Dead was the one who retained the rights to the ah living dead name while Romero retained the night on the part.
00:50:48
semendemon
oh
00:50:49
BeyBlade
Right. That's why there's, yeah, of the dead, right, versus living dead.
00:50:51
semendemon
Day. See, what's crazy too is Return of Living Dead is also a fucking banger as well.
00:50:59
Steve-O
Right. Those are incredible.
00:51:01
semendemon
yeah Like, they're great too. Like, ah, they're all really good. Return is like the first, I think, funny zombie film that I can think of that was like popular.
00:51:12
Steve-O
Yes.
00:51:17
semendemon
That, oh, could talk about these movies all night.
00:51:19
Steve-O
It's such a bleak ending though. i love it.
00:51:21
semendemon
I know. but It's great. It's fucking amazing. Oh, what a great bunch of movies. um Okay. I did watch something new, though.
00:51:34
Steve-O
Mmm.
00:51:34
semendemon
um That was very... That was pretty mid, ah admittedly. um watched the Ed Gein Monster tv series. i've I finished um It's pure exploitation um to a degree that is probably not great for the people that lived around Ed Gein or experienced him or had relatives that did. what Whatever you want to call it. I think it's pretty far removed at this point, though.
00:52:08
semendemon
in our culture, the, the, the acts of Ed Gein. I mean, it was in the forties, uh, when he was doing the things that he was doing. And without a doubt, the show is stretching the truth pretty much nonstop.
00:52:23
semendemon
Um, but I think there's a point to that. I just don't think it's handled very well. I think it's very clunky the way it's, it's executed. I think the whole show is less about Ed Gein than,
00:52:36
semendemon
like the person and more about like the myth of Ed Gein and what that created.
00:52:42
Steve-O
a
00:52:42
silkdong
It's like that Bo Jackson 30 for 30.
00:52:45
semendemon
Yes. Yeah.
00:52:46
silkdong
Where they are.
00:52:46
semendemon
That's a's a good, that's good comparison.
00:52:46
silkdong
Where it's like they talk about him like he's some kind of mythological figure, but then you you kind of forget that he he was real. That kind of thing.
00:52:55
semendemon
He's a person. Yeah. Well, like,
00:52:56
Steve-O
He's like actively alive and just really into archery for some reason.
00:53:00
silkdong
Yeah.
00:53:02
semendemon
I think like, listen, the show is more of an expose on the monster myth and how not only does it drive movies and TV shows, but also other serial killers.
00:53:18
semendemon
Like it created myth of that game created, you know, Ted Bundy to, and to a degree and Ed Kemper and people that talked about him when they were arrested and saying that he was like an influence of theirs.
00:53:34
semendemon
Um, Yeah, like it's less about him, which is sad because he was a man that had like, he was schizophrenic. He had he was seeing things, he was hearing things.
00:53:47
semendemon
ah but doesn't forgive anything that he did, but it just seems like people forget about who he was as a person, that he was a regular person, or not a regular person, but a deeply disturbed human being.
00:54:00
semendemon
And more like this, yeah, like this myth, like this Bo Jackson of serial killers. like
00:54:05
Steve-O
I don't
00:54:05
semendemon
That's that basically what the the show is all about. And I think people got really weirded out because it wasn't a very truthful show. And i I don't think that's ever what it intended to be.
00:54:20
semendemon
Like, I don't think that's ever from frame one.
00:54:22
silkdong
But then, that's like... That's bad, then.
00:54:25
semendemon
It is kind of bad, right?
00:54:25
silkdong
Right?
00:54:26
semendemon
Like in that regard...
00:54:26
silkdong
Because, especially if it's supposed to be, like, ah based on a true...
00:54:30
semendemon
Because all the other seasons but other seasons have been based in some realm of reality. I would say there are exceptions in every season.
00:54:36
silkdong
Right. Right.
00:54:39
semendemon
Things are definitely you know embellished. And I think sensationalized too. And I think that's also about the media itself. And about the people that watch the media.
00:54:53
semendemon
that that That they like this exploitation to some degree. It kind of like makes... it points the finger at the audience. This is the show. And it just, the thing is, it just doesn't do it.
00:55:04
silkdong
Interesting.
00:55:06
semendemon
Like John said, it does it in a very disingenuous kind of sloppy way. And that's where I think most people, that's the real criticism with the show. It's not that it wasn't factual.
00:55:19
silkdong
Because at least at least the Jeffrey Dahmer show humanized the the victims and and focused on them and their sad stories on being victimized by Jeffrey Dahmer, right?
00:55:26
semendemon
Yes.
00:55:32
silkdong
Yeah.
00:55:32
semendemon
It isn't until the very end that they, there is this heart, I dare say that is in it with Edging being put in a mental, mental institution and being properly diagnosed with schizophrenia.
00:55:47
semendemon
Um, because then he gets medication for it and he just lives his life out in the asylum quietly, you know, like it's, It's a question of maybe he had the right care in his life, if his mother wasn't as imposing as she was, he could have turned out fine.
00:56:05
semendemon
It's just that he's a very sick person. And he's unlike a lot of other serial killers that I listed because they knew what they were doing was ultimately very evil and wrong, but they kept doing it because they liked it
00:56:18
silkdong
Right.
00:56:19
semendemon
Whereas I feel like someone like Ed Gein, it was more or less like he was hallucinating people telling him to do things. And he was abused very badly by his mother ah to be a very passive person. So he just listened to whatever hallucination told him to do.
00:56:37
semendemon
he was a dim person. And it's ultimately very sad story in every regard. But this is not really about him because it's never been about him.

True Crime Shows Ranked

00:56:51
semendemon
And the show is about how it influenced like psycho and Texas chainsaw massacre and sounds of the lambs.
00:56:59
silkdong
Right.
00:57:00
semendemon
Like that's all.
00:57:00
silkdong
all that All those movies were influenced by Gein's story.
00:57:01
Steve-O
Yeah.
00:57:04
semendemon
And whether he did these things or not, it's the myth is there regardless. Right. Like, and that's what those movies are kind of saying.
00:57:11
silkdong
Yeah.
00:57:14
semendemon
Like, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre part, it's basically like the guy wanted to make a movie that people deserve, not what they wanted. That's what Toby Hooper used to say.
00:57:26
semendemon
Because like they were living through Vietnam and it was a fucking meat grinder and people were becoming like and anti it antithetic and and not having empathy. And he's like, well, then you deserve a movie where people get brutalized by a chainsaw. That's cool.
00:57:44
semendemon
It's a cool conversation to have. Does it fit necessarily in an Ed Gein show? i don't think so. Like that's no, not, not really, you know?
00:57:55
silkdong
Right. Yeah.
00:57:57
semendemon
So yeah, this show is definitely like, it's a hit or miss experience. And I think Charlie Hunnam is, he's really good in this. I think he, his voice is something you you gotta have to get used to when you're watching it.
00:58:15
semendemon
Because it's basically talks like this throughout the whole show.
00:58:19
BeyBlade
All right.
00:58:19
semendemon
So...
00:58:19
BeyBlade
all right
00:58:20
Steve-O
Mm-hmm.
00:58:21
semendemon
If you can... ah If you can kind of deal with that and understand who Ed Gein was... It's an okay show. It's not... It's the worst monster show.
00:58:33
silkdong
Okay.
00:58:34
semendemon
Worst season.
00:58:34
silkdong
Yeah, I was going to ask you how it compares to the others.
00:58:37
semendemon
I think Jeffrey Dahmer's season is probably the best by far. And then... Uh, I would say the, I think the assassination of, Gianni Versace, Gianni Versace.
00:58:48
silkdong
Jesse James. Sorry.
00:58:51
semendemon
I think that's the first season monster with the Andrew Cunanan. I think that second, I think the, uh, Hernandez brothers or the, uh, what's called?
00:59:03
semendemon
The, the, the kids that killed their family, their mother and father, that's the third. And then this season is the bottom. Um, I would love to have just talked about the influences of Psycho, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and Silence of Lambs, but I don't think it belongs in an Ed Gein show.
00:59:22
semendemon
A show

Ed Gein's Myth in Media

00:59:23
silkdong
I mean, yeah. let's yeah i mean That's the point of making those movies.
00:59:23
semendemon
about Ed Gein.
00:59:24
semendemon
You know what I mean?
00:59:27
silkdong
that It's not really you know just kind of inspired by those ah there's events.
00:59:29
semendemon
Yeah. Exactly. And I think it
00:59:33
silkdong
They're not really...
00:59:34
semendemon
I think there's a conversation to be had about reality being altered because of those movies and how now we, people perceive Ed Gein versus who he really was.
00:59:43
silkdong
Yeah, that's kind of the thing that would bother me, right? like Especially if it's supposed to be like a serialized like character piece on on a real person, you know, like why, why, why stretch, why stretch reality at that point, you know?
00:59:53
semendemon
definitely not.
00:59:58
semendemon
Yeah, I think it's just he's, you know, Ryan Murphy's trying to, it's like very much a soapbox season. em Like, it's just all commentary and and about like crime fiction in general, like goes that deep.
01:00:14
semendemon
Doesn't really go deep in Ed Gein, though.
01:00:14
silkdong
Interesting.
01:00:18
semendemon
but So it shouldn't be called that.
01:00:19
silkdong
i think Yeah, cause because sam Sam doesn't want to watch it, so I'm probably going to watch it at some point. But...
01:00:24
semendemon
you'll You'll get what I'm saying. You'll watch it, and within like three episodes, you'll be like, oh, okay, I see what they're doing.
01:00:26
silkdong
Yeah.
01:00:30
semendemon
like this is This isn't what it's supposed to be.
01:00:35
silkdong
Right.
01:00:35
semendemon
It feels like the end of this show. like This was how you would end. This is a series finale.
01:00:41
silkdong
Man, so we're not going to get any of the crazy ones?
01:00:43
semendemon
No, no. No, we're getting another one. I just said it feels like...
01:00:46
BeyBlade
Any of the crazy ones?
01:00:46
silkdong
Oh.
01:00:48
semendemon
We're getting we're getting a Lizzie...
01:00:48
BeyBlade
Gein's not crazy enough.
01:00:50
silkdong
as Yeah, the guy that made belts out of nipples wasn't wasn't crazy enough.
01:00:54
semendemon
The next monster series will be about Lizzie Borden.
01:00:58
silkdong
Oh, interesting.
01:00:58
Steve-O
Oh, classic.
01:00:59
silkdong
yeah
01:01:00
semendemon
Yeah. So that's the next season. It says that at the end of this season.
01:01:04
silkdong
oh wow.
01:01:04
BeyBlade
wow.
01:01:05
semendemon
So.
01:01:05
Steve-O
With the hatchets? Is that the hatchet?
01:01:07
silkdong
Who's playing Lizzie Borden's?
01:01:07
semendemon
Killed her family. Ooh, I don't know. and There's a few people. I think Christina Ricci played her.
01:01:11
BeyBlade
Give it to ah yeah Christina Miladi or whatever.
01:01:12
semendemon
Ooh, that's a good one.
01:01:15
BeyBlade
Yeah.
01:01:17
semendemon
I like her. Mm-hmm.
01:01:17
BeyBlade
I'll watch it. a
01:01:21
Steve-O
Well, speaking

Future True Crime Shows?

01:01:22
Steve-O
of shows,
01:01:23
semendemon
Oh, it was a... It was a kill.
01:01:25
Steve-O
it was a kill. Hey, look at that serial kill.
01:01:26
semendemon
It was a kill.
01:01:26
silkdong
Yeah, I
01:01:26
BeyBlade
Well, okay.
01:01:26
semendemon
Ultimately, ultimately a kill. Yeah. Yeah.
01:01:30
BeyBlade
Yeah. Damn it.
01:01:31
semendemon
I wanted to, I really wanted to like this, give it a fuck at least, but I just didn't. It's like the things I liked about it didn't belong in the show. Yeah.
01:01:40
silkdong
yeah i mean, I feel like Ed Gein has just already, has been done to death, too, you know? It's like, I don't know.
01:01:47
semendemon
ah Yeah, you're right.
01:01:48
silkdong
I'm not like, i'm i I don't want to say that his story isn't interesting, or as interesting as the others, but like, I don't know.
01:01:57
Steve-O
And that's the thing, like like you were saying before, that story has inspired so many massive hits already that.
01:02:05
silkdong
It's like we' you've already seen it too.
01:02:07
Steve-O
Yeah, like.
01:02:07
semendemon
Well, that's kind of what he says in the show.
01:02:07
silkdong
Like kind
01:02:09
semendemon
Like, you've seen all this stuff before. I'm going to show you why, what impact it had on the world.
01:02:15
BeyBlade
Thank you.
01:02:16
Steve-O
OK, so it's like the Babe Ruth movie, but for serial killers.
01:02:16
semendemon
That's what it's really about.
01:02:21
semendemon
Yeah, dude. Yes.

Serial Killers in Media

01:02:23
Steve-O
yeah
01:02:24
semendemon
It is like weird, oddly weird hero worship of a fucking idiot madman who murdered people and dug people up.
01:02:29
silkdong
yeah because I don't want to say it's like low-hanging fruit, but like they they already teased at the end of Donner.
01:02:31
Steve-O
Yes.
01:02:32
semendemon
Yeah.
01:02:36
silkdong
They already teased John Wayne Gacy.
01:02:39
silkdong
I mean, again like that's that's a hard one that's a hard one to do too just because
01:02:39
semendemon
i don't I don't know, man. That's a hard one, dude.
01:02:45
silkdong
you know just
01:02:46
semendemon
They're actually doing that on on Paramount Plus, I think, or Peacock.
01:02:47
silkdong
subject matter
01:02:51
semendemon
I think they're having a show about John Wayne Gacy on. But i just don't you can't do that properly without it being the most ghastly fucking thing in the world.
01:03:00
silkdong
Yeah. And like, and that's the thing.
01:03:02
semendemon
I don't know.
01:03:02
silkdong
It's like, like, even if you do, like, it's like more like shock than like, and it like, how do you, yeah.
01:03:06
semendemon
Yeah, it's pure awfulness.
01:03:09
silkdong
And how do you make it interesting at that point? You know, Zodiac killer is interesting as a concept.
01:03:15
semendemon
Fascinating.
01:03:15
silkdong
So I, so I can understand how that movie was just unsolved.
01:03:16
semendemon
Unsolved.
01:03:20
silkdong
Just like the fucking riddles and shit. Like that stuff's pretty cool.
01:03:23
semendemon
Unbelievably fascinating.
01:03:25
silkdong
And that, you know, that obviously that movie was really well done too.
01:03:28
semendemon
Dope as shit.
01:03:29
silkdong
It, So, I mean, but like, I don't know, dude. Ted Bundy? Like, come on. I think the... the the
01:03:36
semendemon
Well, they did do a little Ted Bundy in this show.
01:03:39
silkdong
Oh, okay. Interesting.
01:03:40
semendemon
Yeah.
01:03:41
silkdong
Because like the um the thing is, oh no, they and they did that t they did that Ted Bundy movie too with Zac Efron, which was not horrible, but it wasn't good, if that makes sense.
01:03:44
semendemon
And it was bad. and Brutal.
01:03:51
semendemon
Yeah.
01:03:54
silkdong
But like, i don't know. Like, I really, they keep, I feel like Scorsese and DiCaprio keep fucking dodging around, dancing around whether or not Devil in the White City is actually going to be made.
01:04:08
silkdong
And I kind of, yeah, and I, that's something that would, that I think would be really cool to watch on the screen.
01:04:08
semendemon
H.H. Holmes.
01:04:13
semendemon
It's pretty ghastly too.
01:04:15
silkdong
It's ghastly too, but like, you know, like, you know, House of Horrors and Traps and shit during the Chicago World Fair.
01:04:20
semendemon
I'd watch every minute of it, but yeah, it's gathly as fuck.
01:04:22
silkdong
Right. But also, yeah, and and like the Dahmer stuff, I think, is just super...
01:04:27
semendemon
Oh, that was the brutalist.
01:04:28
silkdong
I mean, like it's it's sad and like at the same time, like it wasn't that long ago when when the Jeffrey Dahmer stuff happened too. like
01:04:36
semendemon
No, yeah, super fresh.
01:04:38
silkdong
So, super...
01:04:38
semendemon
Super fresh.
01:04:39
silkdong
Like that's more like...
01:04:40
BeyBlade
Yeah, I mean, it was to the point where people were like, I am watching a show that killed my granddaughter.
01:04:40
silkdong
Right, yeah. Yeah.
01:04:47
BeyBlade
You know, stuff like that.
01:04:48
silkdong
right
01:04:48
BeyBlade
and they're like, you can see that, yeah.
01:04:48
semendemon
Yeah.
01:04:48
silkdong
yeah
01:04:50
semendemon
it's
01:04:50
semendemon
It's fucked.
01:04:50
silkdong
Whereas Ed Gein happened when?
01:04:52
silkdong
That was like the 50s, right? what
01:04:54
semendemon
40s. 40s.
01:04:55
silkdong
40s? So, yeah, we're kind of like removed from all that.
01:04:55
semendemon
forty Yeah.
01:04:59
silkdong
And again, i

Peacemaker's Narrative Choices

01:05:00
silkdong
don't know. i What everyone really wants is just Mindhunter to come back, to be honest.
01:05:04
semendemon
Oh, yeah.
01:05:04
Steve-O
bring back mine hunter.
01:05:05
silkdong
oh
01:05:06
semendemon
There's also a big part of the Aguin show that completely forgot that has to do with the Nazis. And there's all of that.
01:05:11
silkdong
Was he making nipple belts out of dead Nazis? Or...
01:05:14
semendemon
Well, there was a Nazi commandant.
01:05:15
BeyBlade
Whoa, am I team Dean?
01:05:18
semendemon
It was a woman. And she did make lamp shades out of Jew skin, jew Jewish people's skin.
01:05:24
silkdong
Oh, God.
01:05:24
BeyBlade
Oh, oh, so the, the okay.
01:05:24
silkdong
ah
01:05:25
semendemon
Yeah.
01:05:26
BeyBlade
Okay.
01:05:27
semendemon
So he he got influenced by that. And then there are Holocaust pictures that he gets obsessed with. Because it's just dead bodies. So then that like builds this whole fetish that starts out. Yeah, it's brutal.
01:05:41
semendemon
That part's super dark. But that, again, it goes on a weird tangent that just doesn't... It's just clunky and and doesn't fit the show. Yeah.
01:05:52
semendemon
Weird.
01:05:52
Steve-O
that might be yeah That might be a little too much for for this show, I feel.
01:05:55
semendemon
Yeah.
01:05:56
Steve-O
Like they weren't...
01:05:56
semendemon
is It goes so many different places.
01:05:59
Steve-O
They're not fitting to handle that kind of material, maybe.
01:06:02
semendemon
Yeah, yeah. You need a deft hand with that, and that's not what this is in the least. Mm-hmm.
01:06:08
Steve-O
Well, speaking of shows with Nazis, one just ended recently. Little Diddy called Peacemaker
01:06:14
silkdong
Speaking of a Fortnite, speaking Fortnite dances about Nazism.
01:06:18
Steve-O
Yeah, speaking of Fortnite dances that were taken, ah refunded, and and then brought back, ah Peacemaker Season 2 just concluded the finale.
01:06:28
Steve-O
How long was it? It was like 50. It was like the longest episode of the one.
01:06:31
silkdong
It's like an hour, yeah.
01:06:32
Steve-O
yeah
01:06:35
Steve-O
I think this was a highly contentious finale for this show.
01:06:41
silkdong
I liked it. I didn't hate it like you guys did, but I enjoyed i enjoyed the the episode.
01:06:44
semendemon
I don't think I hated it. Like, that's strong. Like, listen, there's there's something I will say. Like, I didn't love this episode, but I like the fact that Everybody in the season had like an arc and it did pay off.
01:06:58
semendemon
Like we we got arcs for every character.
01:07:00
silkdong
Man, Devin's already grunting and fucking getting up in his chair.
01:07:04
BeyBlade
laughter
01:07:05
semendemon
That's, that's, I mean, like from what I see, everybody changed. Everybody is now in a different place. Like it's what you're supposed to do with television. Is it like the most exciting or was it the most...
01:07:22
semendemon
well-made episode of the season?
01:07:22
silkdong
yeah I want to
01:07:23
semendemon
i don't think so.
01:07:25
silkdong
i want to walk back my ah guess unrealistic expectations of you know seeing more cameos and kind of acknowledge that I understand why there wasn't a mega cameo at the end.
01:07:39
silkdong
and it's just cause
01:07:39
semendemon
yeah
01:07:41
silkdong
I feel like they're not trying to do the Marvel thing here. They're trying to connect the the stories by narratives and not by cameo appearances, which I which i actually i actually respect that.
01:07:52
semendemon
and that's And they used the cameo pretty well in the season with Lex. like I think that's really good.
01:07:58
BeyBlade
yeah yeah
01:07:59
semendemon
like I think it sets up a lot of shit that's going to be happening in the DC universe entirely. like
01:08:05
silkdong
mean, we got Checkmate.
01:08:05
semendemon
The whole checkmate's going to be a thing.
01:08:06
silkdong
got Checkmate now. I called it, too.
01:08:08
semendemon
They're
01:08:10
silkdong
i was like, oh, shit, what are are they fucking making Checkmate? Sam's like, what's that? And I'm like, don't worry about it. It's nothing you'll understand.
01:08:16
BeyBlade
i will sit down yeah you pull up the chair
01:08:19
semendemon
going to...
01:08:20
Steve-O
That's the other agency that goes after MetaHumans.
01:08:23
semendemon
You're going to have a ah metahuman prison planet or dimension.
01:08:24
silkdong
yeah see that See, that stuff I think is really interesting.
01:08:29
semendemon
Yeah.
01:08:29
silkdong
like that that that The Salvation stuff is I think is really interesting and I think they can do a lot with that and in ah in the grand scheme of things.
01:08:39
semendemon
But yeah, like I think it was, there was a lot going on in that episode.
01:08:44
silkdong
Was anyone else kind of underwhelmed by the fact that they just fucking kissed on the boat?
01:08:44
semendemon
Yeah.
01:08:49
silkdong
I thought they smashed and I thought that's what they're
01:08:51
Steve-O
That's what it sounded like, and I think that's what they were trying to make it sound like.
01:08:54
BeyBlade
and considering considering Chris Smith only has one topic of conversation anytime he talks to Harcourt.
01:09:05
BeyBlade
Yeah, I did expect something a little bit more. Like, he is an annoying 12-year-old when anytime he talks to her, what about the boat?
01:09:10
semendemon
He's kind of childlike. yeah
01:09:14
silkdong
Yeah.
01:09:15
BeyBlade
What about the boat? Hey, what about the boat? you want to talk about the boat again?
01:09:18
silkdong
Yeah, I thought ah thought there was some penis and vagina intercourse that happened.
01:09:22
BeyBlade
And I'm not saying, like, I needed that, but it's just, like, this...
01:09:26
silkdong
They were alluding to it It felt like it was more than what it was.
01:09:28
BeyBlade
They're alluding to it, and it's also just, like, irritating because if that's literally the only thing his character talks about with her, it's kind of... Like, you ah you know, he kind of mentions, like, hey, I'm kind worried about you.
01:09:46
BeyBlade
but like, after the boat, it seemed like you you got into this stuff. And it's like, dude, I don't fucking know, man.
01:09:52
semendemon
I think he's kind of emotionally immature though.
01:09:52
BeyBlade
It's the...
01:09:54
semendemon
So that makes checks out.
01:09:55
BeyBlade
no he is but it doesn't mean it's interesting to like watch or like no no yeah
01:10:04
semendemon
So you don't care about him because you think he's kind of and emotional child.
01:10:08
BeyBlade
no one so so somebody on the discord brought this up and i do and i think i do agree with it and it's like this is like a still a few weeks back but it was essentially like
01:10:22
BeyBlade
When it was like, let's pull the trigger on the Nazi planet. Like, please. Oh, my God, please. Let's pull the trigger on this. But it was also, you know, if we're not doing that, could literally any of the other characters do anything remotely interesting?
01:10:36
BeyBlade
Like at all? Vigilante is wasted, despite being a standout character in season one. Really doesn't do a lot. Just kind of sits around and he's a plot device for money.
01:10:47
silkdong
I mean, he had his he had his moment.
01:10:48
semendemon
I think he had a moment.
01:10:48
Steve-O
i think I think Vigilante didn't feel like Vigilante until episode until the episode where they revealed that it was the Nazi planet.
01:10:48
silkdong
He had his moment.
01:10:55
semendemon
you're You're right. You're right. I think that's true. I think he was kind of underserved in the first half of the season. But I did think...
01:11:03
BeyBlade
Yeah, like Etabayo has like an interesting plot with her ex that really just gets...
01:11:09
Steve-O
I think that was an excellent scene. Like that scene between Adebayo and her...
01:11:10
semendemon
Yeah, that was great.
01:11:12
BeyBlade
Yeah, no, it's not like that it's bad, but it's just like, it's the bare minimum for every other character with the exception of Chris. And then the most interesting stuff...
01:11:23
silkdong
Oh, you're talking about the title character?
01:11:26
BeyBlade
Yeah, yeah, with Peacemaker. Right, right.
01:11:27
silkdong
i mean...
01:11:28
BeyBlade
But I'm saying, but the most interesting stuff about Peacemaker... They just leave. They just leave on the floor because they're like, well, you know, we'll get to it when we get to it. Because to me, what's far more interesting is the fallout plus like the events that happened to him with his brother and his dad from the alternate dimension.
01:11:40
semendemon
Thank you.
01:11:52
BeyBlade
And, you know, if you're going to say, hey, there's not going to be a season three. Yes, clearly they're going to go back to these characters. But like if the door is shut on that and it could be two, three, four years before we get around to it because you know we have other things to do. I understand that to an extent. but so The only closure that character really gets is his friends care about him, which is like something they've been banging on since episode one.
01:12:22
semendemon
Yeah, I mean, like yeah, he doesn't...
01:12:22
BeyBlade
Chris, we care about you.
01:12:24
silkdong
Yeah, but I i think that's...
01:12:24
BeyBlade
Okay. Well, yeah, it only took eight episodes for them for him to get it
01:12:28
semendemon
but Chris was blinded by by that Nazi planet.
01:12:31
silkdong
He didn't even see that Hitler mural inside the fucking building.
01:12:34
semendemon
Yeah, he was so blinded that this was like...
01:12:37
BeyBlade
Right, but that's that's like but that's the tough thing, right? is like That's played for gags. ah The Hitler mural thing, right? like That's a gag joke, and that's funny, but it's like...
01:12:43
semendemon
Well, of course, because he's an idiot, Devin. He's a moron. He's always been a moron.
01:12:48
BeyBlade
Yeah, but I'm just saying like this season overall, I'm not going to say it's terrible or anything like that, but like this season overall, to me, it's a miss. like I think it's a miss of a season.
01:12:58
BeyBlade
its ah Yeah, you know?
01:12:58
Steve-O
I think in comparison to the first season, it it is a very...
01:13:01
BeyBlade
It's like it's not...
01:13:02
semendemon
Well, I like the first season more. That's undeniable.
01:13:04
Steve-O
Yeah, i think I think it is a steep drop in quality.
01:13:05
silkdong
Yeah, well, but this is probably...
01:13:06
BeyBlade
know
01:13:07
silkdong
yeah I mean, i feel like I feel like the drop in quality is probably due to the fact that Gunn is trying to fit this in with the grand scheme of the DCU, which which the first season had nothing to do with, if you think about it.
01:13:17
semendemon
A little bit, yeah.
01:13:18
Steve-O
The gods and monsters plot.
01:13:22
semendemon
You're right.
01:13:22
Steve-O
Hmm.
01:13:22
semendemon
You're absolutely right.
01:13:23
silkdong
so
01:13:23
semendemon
I think...
01:13:24
silkdong
So, I mean, that's where it takes the drop off, I think, which is kind of... i guess, you know, I think it's kind of like, you know, generally speaking... I think it's a good thing that he's fitting these characters into the DCU.
01:13:37
semendemon
Because they'll come back then.
01:13:37
silkdong
And I'm okay with it.
01:13:38
semendemon
They'll come back there.
01:13:38
Steve-O
ah
01:13:39
silkdong
Yeah.
01:13:39
BeyBlade
Yeah, I get it.
01:13:39
semendemon
like
01:13:39
silkdong
Yeah.
01:13:40
BeyBlade
I just don't understand why, not you guys, but I just, I don't understand why there's this pushback against like, oh, it's a sophomore slump.
01:13:40
silkdong
And I'm okay with it.
01:13:48
BeyBlade
It's like a season two that's pretty good, but not as good as season one. And there's this weird pushback and it's like, no, it's just clearly not as good as season one. It's the characters, some characters aren't doing anything.

Future of Peacemaker and DCU

01:14:02
BeyBlade
Some characters, you know, like we have some plot points that, and again, to me, it's, I think the, if you could go back and redo it all, right, which obviously is impossible, but if you could go back and redo it all, it's like the the pacing just needs to get sorted out because I think he really was like, nobody is going to get the Nazi thing until the very end.
01:14:26
silkdong
Thank you.
01:14:29
BeyBlade
And everybody called it in like episode two, chapter the three.
01:14:32
semendemon
Well, no, I think that i I kind of like that.
01:14:32
Steve-O
Yeah.
01:14:35
semendemon
And I'm not, I don't know if it's baked.
01:14:36
BeyBlade
I hate to think I hated that.
01:14:37
semendemon
don't know. No, no. it'll explain let me explain myself
01:14:38
BeyBlade
i Yeah. Yeah.
01:14:40
semendemon
I don't know if it's baked in to be this way, but the only perspective of that world that we get is through Chris's eyes when he goes there. So he's an idiot and he doesn't see anything, right? Like that, it plays out in a character way. Like I understand that.
01:14:57
semendemon
That makes perfect sense. Was it something, was it a secret that that pretty much was everybody knew? Of course. But like, I like the way it was executed through Chris.
01:15:07
semendemon
Like I like... That it's basically the show is more character over plot. The plot is more in service of whatever the characters are trying to do at that moment.
01:15:18
silkdong
Yeah.
01:15:18
BeyBlade
I guess, but the character's not terribly interesting. Like...
01:15:22
Steve-O
i think I think if you kept the first two episodes, I think the first two episodes were perfect. And then I think if you somehow condensed three to five into an episode or two, then brought six on earlier, and then extended ah like a lot more of
01:15:36
BeyBlade
This episode, this season... i mean I've...
01:15:43
semendemon
So get to the spoiler of the planet for earlier.
01:15:44
Steve-O
yeah i think like make that your your
01:15:46
BeyBlade
yeah it's either cut, cut the season down two episodes or add two episodes.
01:15:48
Steve-O
mid-season
01:15:51
BeyBlade
Because when you get to the point where Chris, you know, on the final episode is like, I'm the angel of death. Everything I touch is turned to shit. I'm the problem. It's me. It's all solved in an episode.
01:16:02
BeyBlade
And like, okay. And this was, you know, it,
01:16:05
semendemon
Well, that that was obviously not true. Like, ah he's...
01:16:08
BeyBlade
No, yes, it's not true, but it's like that's where his character is, and it's like the big reveal that he has for the season for that character happens between episode one and and seven, right, where he's like, oh, my God, and...
01:16:09
semendemon
deep in his feelings.
01:16:15
silkdong
Yeah, but...
01:16:20
silkdong
And then he gets thrown and then he gets thrown in the into fucking Red Dead Redemption 2.
01:16:25
BeyBlade
Yeah, I mean, he he has...
01:16:26
Steve-O
as yeah teas got mo
01:16:27
silkdong
So i think that's why it's kind of interesting to me. you know Because...
01:16:30
semendemon
Yeah, I i agree.
01:16:31
BeyBlade
i like it's I don't even dislike the the whole dimension, like the...
01:16:31
silkdong
Because...
01:16:37
BeyBlade
Oh my God. What they call Salvation. Like i don't, I think that's neat.
01:16:38
silkdong
he was thrown in there, he we got the payoff for Rick Flagg Sr. because we were all wondering what I mean,
01:16:45
Steve-O
Is he like my, did he get like mind butterflied or something?
01:16:49
semendemon
um but I'm going to be honest with you. He's acting more like Lex Luthor than he is like Rick Flagg Sr. That is something that kind of bothered me a little bit.
01:16:56
BeyBlade
Yeah. Yeah.
01:16:56
silkdong
ah lot i mean but i mean, but a bunch of people, a bunch of people, i guess, pointed out on the internet too, that this, it does seem kind of out of character where when you talk about the Rick Flagg senior that was in Superman, right?
01:17:10
silkdong
Right.
01:17:10
semendemon
Right, right, right.
01:17:11
silkdong
but the Rick Flagg senior that's in creature commandos, it kind of fits the bill a little bit more.
01:17:15
semendemon
I guess so. Yeah. In that regard that he's easily manipulated by bad people.
01:17:16
silkdong
Right. Because right. Yeah. I mean, he fucking, yeah, he completely easily manipulated. And like, I mean, the the one thing that kind of put me off on him a little bit was how chummy he got with, with Lex's dudes.
01:17:29
semendemon
Right. That's where I'm like, it seems like it's Lex in disguise or something.
01:17:31
BeyBlade
Like immediately?
01:17:31
silkdong
ah But yeah.
01:17:31
BeyBlade
Yeah.
01:17:31
Steve-O
yeah
01:17:32
BeyBlade
yeah
01:17:35
Steve-O
that's what I'm thinking I'm like is that gonna be like a reveal but then like at the end he was like you son of a bit like it seemed like it was like still personal and I'm like well what is like what is going on here like is he or is he not doing this for revenge
01:17:36
silkdong
Yeah. yeah I don't know.
01:17:43
silkdong
I
01:17:49
silkdong
i mean may i mean, I mean, think he was doing it for revenge, but I also think that Lex is playing him too. And I, that'll probably come out later where, you know, I, I mean, he said it himself, like, you know, Lex is the smartest man in the world.
01:17:56
semendemon
Yeah. Yeah.
01:18:03
silkdong
So like, why, you know, why, what
01:18:05
Steve-O
That seemed like a weird, that that seemed like something that like, if he's being like mind controlled something.
01:18:10
semendemon
yeah Yeah. That's kind of what I thought too.
01:18:12
silkdong
could be, be Or maybe he just got he got charmed by the bald genius. like a bunch everybody
01:18:18
BeyBlade
Yeah.
01:18:19
Steve-O
Yeah.
01:18:20
silkdong
Like everybody else, including us.
01:18:21
Steve-O
you should He should have gone talk to Mr.
01:18:21
silkdong
yeah well that see that this This is where I'm interested now.
01:18:23
Steve-O
Terrific. He's the third smartest man in the universe. yeah
01:18:29
silkdong
like Where does Mr. Terrific fit in? I think he'd be perfect on Checkmate. I think he'd be great on on that team.
01:18:34
semendemon
Yeah.
01:18:35
BeyBlade
yeah
01:18:35
silkdong
like That would be cool. I would love to see that. Maybe that's the where they're going.
01:18:37
Steve-O
im Oh, lantern spot.
01:18:39
silkdong
Maybe that's we not where they're not going. ah Some people think, ah some people are theorycrafting that possibly, i don't know how true this would be. I'm not going to put any eggs in any baskets, but that possibly maybe ah the Green Lanterns are um investigating like a severe um like disappearance rate in metahumans on Earth, and that's that might be the like This whole thing might be the catalyst for the Lanterns TV show, which is kind of interesting too.
01:19:07
semendemon
a
01:19:10
silkdong
because it's like you know how do you make it How do you make something like that grounded? and it's like yeah Throw and Hal into this world. What did he say? john and hal and into this world
01:19:17
semendemon
Do you know what James Gunn said about salvation?
01:19:18
silkdong
like
01:19:21
silkdong
what do you say
01:19:21
semendemon
he He said in a, in a, kind ah in like an ah interview, Q and a, and he's like, yeah, I wanted to do this thing that totally would never happen in real world. where they create a secret prison where they put people in it in the dead of night.
01:19:31
Steve-O
She dropped
01:19:36
silkdong
That's funny.
01:19:36
semendemon
Yep. Something that would never happen.
01:19:39
BeyBlade
yeah
01:19:40
Steve-O
BB.
01:19:40
silkdong
Also, dude, that and people are saying too, Hawkgirl might be on that list as well just because she fucking she fucking ah she X that dude.
01:19:40
Steve-O
I mean,
01:19:48
semendemon
Kill the prime minister.
01:19:50
silkdong
that yeah
01:19:50
Steve-O
she just she dropped a bv i mean yeah, that guy.
01:19:50
BeyBlade
Yeah, that world leader.
01:19:55
semendemon
Yeah.
01:19:55
silkdong
Yeah. Yeah. She dropped an egg in water or whatever whatever the the transition was.
01:20:00
Steve-O
I think, you yeah, it was something like that.
01:20:01
silkdong
but There's a lot they can do with it and that's what kind of makes me excited about Peacemaker being used soil solely as as ah as an introduction to these new elements and mechanics that are but may i have a play in the DCU as a whole.
01:20:16
semendemon
See, that's where I'm like, I know he's going to be back. I just don't think it's going to be in a Peacemaker show. Like, he'll be back in whatever show that they're creating in Salvation.
01:20:22
Steve-O
Yeah.
01:20:22
silkdong
Yeah.
01:20:25
BeyBlade
No, dude, they're going find him and he's going to be like wearing like some animal skin, you know, like with a spear or something.
01:20:30
silkdong
Dude, shit that should' ah shit sounds so cool, though.
01:20:32
Steve-O
Yeah, he's going like Tarzan.
01:20:34
silkdong
like that like you know what I mean? like that That kind of shit sound sounds so cool to me.
01:20:35
Steve-O
but But here's the thing. here's the thing like the It feels like season two was a franchise year. like Not a franchise year. like It was like a building year.
01:20:46
Steve-O
like we're like We're kind of in this like weird like holding state.
01:20:47
silkdong
Yeah, right, yeah. like it And the the shitty thing about it is that this is the second season of Peacemaker where season one was incredible, and they and they're using season two as Peacemaker ah for Peacemaker as still like the building blocks of what the grand picture is going to be, you know, which kind of sucks.
01:21:05
Steve-O
yeah
01:21:06
silkdong
But like, that's why I'm like, eh, I didn't hate it. I didn't, I wasn't blown up. My mind wasn't blown by it, but I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna shit on it.
01:21:14
BeyBlade
Yeah, or like whatever. What what was he? Like James Gunn, to be fair, James Gunn shoulders some of this blame. He was like, the last episode is like insane. You're just going to blow your mind. Like there's people are pulling up quotes and it's like, yo, why were you gassing this up so much? And it's just like, yeah, for you, it was it's blew your mind, I guess.
01:21:35
silkdong
Because he knows how everything's going to be.
01:21:37
BeyBlade
Yeah, but like for, because I mean, you know, this is getting in the territory of like who gives a shit, but it's like the lowest rated episode, I think, of the of the two seasons.
01:21:38
silkdong
Yeah.
01:21:47
BeyBlade
And, you know, that's not the other thing.

DC Projects and Excitement

01:21:49
BeyBlade
It's like, okay, sure. It's just, I think overall, I was, it's not terrible. It's like, you know, it's like season three of The Bear, you know, it's like, okay, whatever.
01:22:00
semendemon
I agree. I think it's, yeah, you're, you're definitely, it's not terrible. It's, it's a good sit. I think I would say.
01:22:08
BeyBlade
Yeah, but like disappointing just by the how much I enjoyed season one and just, you know, where things had were going and looking like they could be going. And then, yeah.
01:22:19
BeyBlade
And again, it's like we were talking about pacing. Either add like three episodes or like cut two. Just, you know, we the pacing, I think, just needs to get, need it to get sorted out, but.
01:22:33
BeyBlade
you know It's a different show if nobody is just sitting on their hands waiting for the the reveal that everybody sussed out you know a month ago. you know If nobody did that, then maybe it would have hit a little bit harder.
01:22:44
BeyBlade
But you know what are you going to do?
01:22:48
silkdong
yeah
01:22:49
semendemon
Yes, indeed. there anything else we want to talk about? Any new things?
01:22:52
BeyBlade
ah Man, you know what?
01:22:55
silkdong
i i saw Kristen Ritter spoil that the Daredevil season 2 trailer. The Born Again season 2 trailer.
01:23:00
Steve-O
Really?
01:23:00
semendemon
but
01:23:00
BeyBlade
I saw that too. I saw that too
01:23:02
silkdong
ah Yeah. It looks pretty hard.
01:23:03
BeyBlade
ah looks pretty good yeah did you guys did you guys see the the X-Men 97 season 2 leak yeah I saw that too just you know a lot of lot of cool shit a lot of cool shit from a sideways angle in somebody's phone pocket you know but
01:23:06
silkdong
And they're saying that it leads right into um Spider-Man. Which is interesting.
01:23:15
silkdong
I did.
01:23:15
Steve-O
No.
01:23:15
silkdong
i did.
01:23:16
semendemon
I didn't know.
01:23:17
silkdong
Saw a couple things from there.
01:23:25
Steve-O
Hey, I take it.
01:23:25
semendemon
I watched the trailer for wonder man.
01:23:27
Steve-O
Yeah, I watched the Wonder Man trailer too.
01:23:29
silkdong
Yeah, I'm kind of confused by it.
01:23:31
BeyBlade
whether they're making a movie
01:23:32
semendemon
So,
01:23:33
silkdong
Now, just the, like, what the, like, what the premise is. Like, is the, does this take place in the MCU? Like, is it?
01:23:41
semendemon
so yes, I think this is going to take place in the MCU. i think they're revitalizing an old movie series from that world.
01:23:50
silkdong
And then Bro's gonna get superpowers?
01:23:51
semendemon
And yeah, they're going to give him... so He's going to get superpowers to go method for the role.
01:23:57
silkdong
Oh, is he gonna get it from Elaine?
01:23:57
Steve-O
um
01:24:00
semendemon
Yes!
01:24:01
silkdong
Probably.
01:24:01
Steve-O
and
01:24:02
silkdong
Because she's gonna...
01:24:02
BeyBlade
yeah
01:24:03
Steve-O
ah
01:24:03
BeyBlade
sure
01:24:06
silkdong
You didn't see Thunderbolts, Chris, right? Well, I don't know.
01:24:08
semendemon
I did not know.
01:24:10
silkdong
I mean, that that was basically just the Sentry thing. but
01:24:12
BeyBlade
yeah yeah she'd been working on you know yeah making something and he just happened to be the right guy
01:24:13
semendemon
Okay, she gave him powers?
01:24:13
silkdong
like how house How else would they... She gave Sentry powers. They had like a thing to create a superhuman. So I'm wondering if that's if that's what it feels.
01:24:23
semendemon
I wouldn't be surprised if they bring her back because who doesn't like Julia?
01:24:27
Steve-O
We love Julia Louis-Dreyfus.
01:24:27
semendemon
great.
01:24:29
Steve-O
She's wonderful.
01:24:30
semendemon
She's great.
01:24:30
BeyBlade
yeah
01:24:30
semendemon
So...
01:24:31
BeyBlade
Oh, speaking of comics, I did...
01:24:35
silkdong
I didn't read Absolute Batman, so don't talk about it.
01:24:36
BeyBlade
I didn't either.
01:24:36
Steve-O
I'm behind.
01:24:37
BeyBlade
no, no I didn't either.
01:24:37
Steve-O
I'm behind.
01:24:38
BeyBlade
i was bored.
01:24:40
silkdong
And I read Robin 3000, and it's actually good, John.
01:24:40
BeyBlade
And I... No, no, so I pull up and pulled up the latest the latest the latest DC Comics event.
01:24:42
Steve-O
were right. ah
01:24:44
silkdong
It's actually pretty good.
01:24:44
Steve-O
you're right
01:24:51
BeyBlade
DC KO. You guys know about this?
01:24:53
semendemon
Oh, Lord. Yeah, I heard about it.
01:24:54
silkdong
Does it is it m is have to do with MMA?
01:24:56
semendemon
I heard about it. It's like a wrestling world
01:24:57
BeyBlade
No, it's... it's It's basically...
01:25:01
silkdong
I'm going to go get a drink while you but you talk about this.
01:25:01
BeyBlade
I think, is this is this Snyder? All right, I know.
01:25:04
Steve-O
I'm listening. I'm listening. I'm here.
01:25:05
BeyBlade
So Snyder's writing it, right? ah I'm going to read you the tagline. Only one issue.
01:25:11
Steve-O
Scott or Zach?
01:25:11
BeyBlade
Only issue one. The heart of Apocalypse has...
01:25:14
semendemon
Kotorzak!
01:25:15
BeyBlade
Yeah, yeah. The heart of Apocalypse has transformed Earth into a hellscape in preparation for the return of Darkseid. The end of the DC Universe is here. Justice League's only chance to defeat Darkseid is to enter deadly tournament.
01:25:27
BeyBlade
An epic and over-the-top battle royale that will surprise you. The world's greatest heroes fight to become the champion to enter the ring against Darkseid. But there's a catch. The closer you get to the heart of Apocalypse, the more it corrupts you, changes you into something dangerous.
01:25:43
BeyBlade
Which DC character has what it takes to make it to the end? Who is willing to do what it takes to win at all, even if it means taking down their friends and family? You want to get nuts? Let's get nuts.
01:25:53
BeyBlade
So here's
01:25:54
semendemon
i I did see a cover for this where Superman was DDTing Darkseid.
01:25:57
BeyBlade
Okay.
01:26:01
BeyBlade
See, it's hard to not be little a little interested, right?
01:26:06
Steve-O
That's pretty awesome.
01:26:07
BeyBlade
like Wait second. So I read the first. It's a typical thing. It's typical slot. But what was a little interesting is this ties to the absolute universe a lot because the dark side and this, that, and the other thing.
01:26:20
semendemon
Okay. Sure. The corrupting force of dark side.
01:26:25
BeyBlade
Yeah, because basically they're like, yeah, um hey, in a week from now, Darkseid just like destroys everything. They're like, how do you know? They're like, because it technically already happened. And we actually just rewound time. So you guys need to sort this out.
01:26:38
BeyBlade
So then they're like, yeah, you got to you got you have to be like a conqueror, they say. So we're going to do this battle. And like it has my least favorite thing, which it just kills characters because, you know, at the end, everything's going to get reset, which is whatever.
01:26:54
semendemon
Sure, sure, sure.
01:26:54
BeyBlade
But Apocalypse or I'm sorry, Apocalypse. Darkseid is like narrating the the last third. This is spoilers for DC Gaia one, right? Minor spoilers.
01:27:06
BeyBlade
He's narrating like the last little bit or whoever is, ah you know, somebody is right. um And he's like, well, the what these heroes don't know is that they're going to have to fight my champions.
01:27:18
BeyBlade
And then it's clearly the absolute trio.
01:27:22
semendemon
whole Oh, okay.
01:27:23
BeyBlade
Like, it's but it's you see you see Absolute Batman with his big axe.
01:27:24
Steve-O
and
01:27:26
semendemon
Absolutely Wonder Woman?
01:27:27
BeyBlade
You see the bottom of Wonder Woman and, super you know, Absolute Superman's, like, legs.
01:27:28
Steve-O
oh he
01:27:33
BeyBlade
And you're like, oh, man. And then it's like, oh, and also, see?
01:27:35
semendemon
Oh, they're getting fucked
01:27:38
BeyBlade
See? i brought you in, didn't I? Reeled you right in.
01:27:40
Steve-O

BeyBlade

BeyBlade
He gets fucking bodied by him, dude.
01:29:16

Steve-O
six So 6-7 is the new thing with the kids.
01:30:15
silkdong
Astardis.

Steve-O
It's the new meme. So kids nowadays, 69, no longer the new hot.
01:30:18
silkdong
Hmm.
01:30:23
Steve-O
So if you if if they see the number 67, they go 6-7 they do a hand motion. It started from um some sort of โ€“ it started from basketball.
01:30:31
silkdong
I hate it, by the way.
01:30:35
semendemon
Whoa.
01:30:36
Steve-O
So no, I think it was like high school, college basketball.
01:30:36
semendemon
NBA basketball?
01:30:41
Steve-O
And so they'd be like six, seven. then And they do this hand motion of like kind of like like weighing in like the hands.
01:30:49
semendemon
Oh, yeah, yeah, back and forth.
01:30:50
BeyBlade
Well,
01:30:51
Steve-O
And so that just kind of became the thing. So.
01:30:53
semendemon
Sure.
01:30:53
BeyBlade
what does it mean?
01:30:55
Steve-O
It's just I. I had I watched a video on it. It's basically somebody went, you know, like six, seven.
01:31:05
BeyBlade

01:31:40
Steve-O
This is a public service announcement.
01:31:41
semendemon
It felt very apropos. That's all I'm saying.
01:31:44
Steve-O
Look, I'm just saying, the next time you take your child dressed as Michael Myers to ah to a children's birthday party and all the kids go, six, seven.

01:32:04
Steve-O

01:32:05
silkdong
Six, seven.

silkdong
Why don't they go 6-8, then? Why don't they go 6-8?
01:32:10

01:35:24
semendemon

And anybody that can think about the concept of Windjammers is fucking, is alright in my book.
01:35:31
Steve-O
I mean, we're back to Tron with this one because it's basically just Frisbee.

semendemon
It was great.
01:47:55
Steve-O
a
01:47:55
semendemon
I fucking love that game, I'm honest.
01:47:57
Steve-O
That was the first game to genuinely just hand you a character sheet from the role-playing game at the beginning.
01:48:02
semendemon
Yes. It was very expansive and varied. It was great.
01:48:07
silkdong
i remember when the one on PAX Unplugged we went to Steve disappeared for like six hours, and it's because he was playing Vampire the Masquerade or something, and the role-playing thing.
01:48:15
Steve-O
Yeah, they were doing um they were doing the test run of the updated vampire, the the
01:48:19
silkdong
So I get it.
01:48:22
Steve-O
I forget what it was. they It's not the Masquerade.
01:48:23
semendemon
Oh, is this like the role-playing game?

Steve-O
Yeah, this was like their 5.0 edition that they were just releasing.

01:48:28
semendemon
Oh, brand new.
01:48:29

01:48:35
Steve-O
I was like, I'm sorry. i was role playing with a bunch of strangers.
01:48:38
semendemon

01:48:38
BeyBlade
Yeah.
01:48:40
Steve-O
ah So they gave me a character. i was a Nosferatu priest.
01:48:45
semendemon
Oh, good one. I love Nusforatu.
01:48:47
Steve-O
But I was i was basically at the man in the van.
01:48:49
silkdong
Nosferatu.
01:48:51
BeyBlade
oh so uh by the way perfect example perfect example for my earlier rant uh oh there's a reanimal demo available on steam it is nowhere else no yeah okay fuck me i guess maybe i was interested
01:48:51
semendemon
I love Nusforatu. Locavian are my favorite though.
01:48:55
Steve-O
Yeah, they're the best.
01:49:00
semendemon
Re-Animal.
01:49:04
semendemon
I'm going to get Re-Animal, not play the demo, but just get it. Because I don't even know what Re-Animal is.
01:49:14
semendemon
I'll tell you how it is.
01:49:16
BeyBlade
Yeah.
01:49:16
semendemon
don't
01:49:18
BeyBlade
how's that Borderlands? How's that Borderlands?
01:49:20
Steve-O
motor
01:49:20
semendemon
know what it is.
01:49:21
Steve-O
Hey, Chris, Chris, I don't want to fucking sink your ship, but Borderlands is now 20% off on Steam this week.
01:49:28
semendemon
oh whoops
01:49:33
semendemon
listen i i didn't go into this with my eyes covered all right i knew it was gonna be shit but i buy every one of them
01:49:37
Steve-O
That's fair.
01:49:39
silkdong
He knew. Yeah. he knews He knew he was placing on
01:49:41
Steve-O
Yeah.
01:49:44
silkdong
at the at the realette table
01:49:45
Steve-O
Beautiful. randy Randy Pitchford wanted this to be an $80 game. He was like, Mario Kart World and Borderlands 4 are going to be the same level.
01:49:56
semendemon
That's foolish. That's a foolish thing to say. He's a foolish man. I wish I didn't like his game so much.
01:50:04
Steve-O
that's Hey, that's the thing, like right?
01:50:06
semendemon
That's the unfortunate thing.
01:50:07
Steve-O
Borderlands 1 and 2 masterpieces.
01:50:09
semendemon
Yeah, yeah, they really are.
01:50:10
Steve-O
Like...
01:50:11
semendemon
And I really enjoyed Borderlands 3. It just was the story was terrible and
01:50:15
Steve-O
The story is terrible, but the the problem is the story was stemming from Tales from the Borderland, and that story is literally like one of the best telltale stories they've ever told.
01:50:26
semendemon
I don't deny that at all. You know, like I, I, I just, I still had fun with borderline street. Like it worked.
01:50:33
Steve-O
Right. Like, that's the thing. The mechanics in the Borderland games are just they're just innately fun. They just lend themselves to just good times.
01:50:39
semendemon
It's like crack.
01:50:42
semendemon
It's pure juice.
01:50:44
BeyBlade
Yeah, no, 100%.
01:50:44
semendemon
in row and
01:50:44
Steve-O
It's silly. It's fun. You're shooting fucking wacky bullets all over the place.
01:50:50
semendemon
But, um, I, it'll work eventually.

Gaming Updates and Skepticism

01:50:54
Steve-O
They will.
01:50:55
semendemon
Look at Happen to Cyberpunk. Everybody, and me included. This kid's piece of shit. It's never going to work again. Phantom Liberty.
01:51:03
silkdong
Oh yeah, you gotta wait for the Phantom Liberty update.
01:51:05
semendemon
I'm going to get a Fartum Liberty DLC for Borderlands 4 and it's going to be great.
01:51:05
Steve-O
Yeah.
01:51:11
Steve-O
That would actually be really funny if they called it that.
01:51:11
BeyBlade
You know, to be fair, we can't just say, oh, they're just going to Phantom Liberty because that's only happened like three times in the history of games.
01:51:19
Steve-O
What games were it?
01:51:19
semendemon
There will be a Fartum Liberty, damn it.
01:51:19
silkdong
Wait, which game?
01:51:20
BeyBlade
it were
01:51:20
silkdong
Which three times? Which three got which three times?
01:51:22
Steve-O
Cyberpunk, No Man's Sky.
01:51:24
BeyBlade
And Final Fantasy 14.
01:51:25
semendemon
The Witcher 3.
01:51:25
BeyBlade
Okay.
01:51:26
silkdong
i know I got another one. The Taken King on Destiny 1.
01:51:28
BeyBlade
Okay.
01:51:31
silkdong
That was Phantom Liberty.
01:51:31
BeyBlade
All right.
01:51:32
Steve-O
Okay, all right.
01:51:33
silkdong
Even though I didn't play it, I got asked about years.
01:51:35
BeyBlade
Where it's like, yeah, ah Yeah, of ah how many years? has Let's say, has DLC been like a thing?
01:51:43
Steve-O
Let me look this up.
01:51:43
BeyBlade
Yeah.
01:51:44
Steve-O
Games that redeem themselves. I mean, it did say those three.
01:51:46
silkdong
I mean, Elden Ring was bad before Shadow of the Earth Tree came out, right?
01:51:49
semendemon
yeah
01:51:50
BeyBlade
Yeah, i remember that. Yeah, you guys were all hated it.
01:51:51
silkdong
yeah. Yeah.
01:51:55
Steve-O
Other games in this list, Fallout 76, Assassin's Creed Unity, Street Fighter V, and the Halo Master Chief Collection.
01:51:56
silkdong
oh yeah
01:52:02
silkdong
No, no, no, Street Fighter 5 doesn't count.
01:52:03
BeyBlade
I wouldn't...
01:52:03
silkdong
That was always bad.
01:52:04
BeyBlade
i would Master Chief Collection is i'd I'd argue against that too because it's not like there was...
01:52:08
silkdong
That's an... No, that's a violation. No, that's a violation.
01:52:11
BeyBlade
Yeah, there wasn't new content.
01:52:13
silkdong
Yeah, it wasn't like...
01:52:13
BeyBlade
It was just...
01:52:14
Steve-O
e
01:52:14
BeyBlade
they just
01:52:14
silkdong
Yeah, they just it just fixed how how the fucking menus worked in that fucking trash fire of a game.
01:52:18
BeyBlade
Yeah, they just made it playable.
01:52:20
semendemon
Well, unfortunately...
01:52:20
Steve-O
Diablo III.
01:52:21
silkdong
saved They saved Halo, Devin!
01:52:23
BeyBlade
yeah Diablo 3, I would argue for Diablo
01:52:24
silkdong
They saved Halo!
01:52:27
silkdong
Oh, yeah, Diablo 3? Yes. Yeah, of course.
01:52:29
BeyBlade
yeah
01:52:29
semendemon
yeah mean We unfortunately live in a world where games are shipped broken and defunct, and it's becoming more and more a thing.
01:52:31
silkdong
Yes.
01:52:36
semendemon
So I think the DLC saving thing is going to become more popular as time goes on.
01:52:43
Steve-O
i got I gotta to get that Mind's Eye DLC.
01:52:46
semendemon
yeah
01:52:47
BeyBlade
yeah now mine's eye would be the the goat example if if they go and do that that'd be sick that'd be sick actually
01:52:50
semendemon
if that came back from the dead like that holy shit anything's possible anything's possible
01:52:58
Steve-O
I'll make you eat crow, Rain.
01:53:02
Steve-O
Just wait until 2037.
01:53:06
silkdong
Yeah, Reaper of Souls for Diablo 3, I would say. Yes.
01:53:09
BeyBlade
yeah even though I didn't play it I only played the good version
01:53:09
Steve-O
Yes. Oh, 100%. I mean,
01:53:13
BeyBlade
Kind of like what I do with CyberCon.
01:53:13
Steve-O
and i mean that version was like the version that came with everything.
01:53:16
BeyBlade
Yeah.
01:53:16
Steve-O
Like we got it in that game late.
01:53:17
silkdong
Also, no, no, no. I mean, ah Phantom Liberty, yes. But I feel like you would have a case against it if the anime didn't come out, maybe.
01:53:27
semendemon
but Oh, yeah, that's true. That's a good point.
01:53:29
BeyBlade
Yeah, it's just, but but it's, yeah, it's essentially, though, it's like a company, a game that came out that was, you know, but then the company just plugged away at it.
01:53:29
silkdong
So we can say that was a tandem.
01:53:31
semendemon
Man, did that really help, Pat?
01:53:40
silkdong
Yeah, and then it became the country's darling game after after it came out.
01:53:43
BeyBlade
Yeah, like to a point where it almost did make sense.
01:53:44
semendemon
Take your cracks in your booty cheek.
01:53:45
BeyBlade
It was like, dude, just move on. it's like Because a lot of these companies, they don't...
01:53:49
silkdong
Oh, here's one. here's an update that Here's an update that made a bad game worse.
01:53:50
BeyBlade
They shudder after a game comes out like that.
01:53:54
silkdong
Mass Effect 3 ending up update made the game worse.
01:53:57
BeyBlade
come on.
01:53:57
Steve-O
Hmm.
01:54:01
semendemon
I think that made the game worse.
01:54:01
silkdong
Just saying.
01:54:03
semendemon
Interesting.
01:54:03
BeyBlade
Oh, yeah, did make it worse. Come on.
01:54:05
semendemon
I'm trying to think about another example.
01:54:05
silkdong
Yes, it did.
01:54:06
BeyBlade
No, it didn't.
01:54:06
silkdong
no I was so mad at that.
01:54:08
BeyBlade
know you were, but like...
01:54:10
silkdong
Because, like, the fucking...
01:54:11
BeyBlade
It legitimately added context though.
01:54:11
silkdong
ah ah but Yeah, but everybody everybody cried about the ending so bad that they fucking changed the ending and we had to play
01:54:13
BeyBlade
Like I wouldn't say it's.
01:54:13
semendemon
Oh!
01:54:14
BeyBlade
Yeah.

Nintendo's Animation and Pikmin

01:54:19
silkdong
it again.
01:54:19
silkdong
And that's stupid.
01:54:20
semendemon
Diablo 4 did it recently where they nerfed all the fun character powers.
01:54:22
silkdong
That's dumb.
01:54:25
silkdong
Oh, that was bad.
01:54:26
semendemon
That gave so much more
01:54:26
silkdong
They made it worse. Oh, no.
01:54:28
Steve-O
I forgot about that.
01:54:30
semendemon
They made that game so much less fun than it was.
01:54:33
Steve-O
Chris, you were super into that. And then you came back one week and you were like, yeah, they made it not fun.
01:54:38
semendemon
I can't like, not I don't feel cool anymore. What's going
01:54:42
BeyBlade
Because you're not on season 17 of whatever season the single player Diablo game is on.
01:54:44
Steve-O
i
01:54:50
semendemon
Oh, Jesus. Yeah, I can't imagine. They probably did fix it now, but that was so egregious.
01:54:55
Steve-O
I never understand that. If you have a game that's PVE, not PVP, just PVE solely, let people be broken as shit.
01:55:02
BeyBlade
and
01:55:04
semendemon
i did the They specifically went after Necromancy, and it was like something I was like playing it around with, and it was pretty fucking broken, and I felt awesome.
01:55:12
Steve-O
Hmm.
01:55:16
semendemon
And then there was no point to play it anymore. It was tedious. It became tedious.
01:55:20
Steve-O
Yeah.
01:55:21
silkdong
Yeah.
01:55:21
semendemon
And like those games can easily become tedious.
01:55:21
Steve-O
That... That's the thing. The tedium should be when you first start the character and by the end, it should basically become vampire survivor where you don't have to put any thought into it.
01:55:28
semendemon
Yes.
01:55:35
Steve-O
And you can like literally like watch a show while just running around and having like fucking just like every AOE effect going around you and going nuts.
01:55:43
semendemon
Yeah, you should be in a nuclear bomb in a single player game as you progress, you know?
01:55:45
Steve-O
Right. I did the work.
01:55:48
semendemon
like
01:55:48
Steve-O
I put the time in. Let me be a, let me be a nuke.
01:55:53
semendemon
I don't get that. The only thing I can think of is they wanted to increase the amount of people that were paying for certain aspects of the game.
01:56:00
Steve-O
a
01:56:01
semendemon
so And that's fucking terrible.
01:56:04
Steve-O
Greed.
01:56:05
semendemon
Yeah. That's...
01:56:09
semendemon
But anywho, if that's everything, should we... ah move on over to some of these current events here.
01:56:16
Steve-O
Yeah, give me some of these current events.
01:56:17
BeyBlade
Oh, sure.
01:56:19
semendemon
Well, you know, I see a baby and I see Nintendo.
01:56:26
BeyBlade
Explain this baby.
01:56:28
semendemon
What's going on here?
01:56:30
Steve-O
Uh, so this little short video came out of this baby kind of a came out and then the next day they put the video out again, but it has Pikmin in it instead of just being invisible.
01:56:48
semendemon
What the fuck? Did they eat the baby?
01:56:50
Steve-O
And no, they kind of like helped the baby.
01:56:54
BeyBlade
Thank
01:56:54
Steve-O
And then Nintendo a couple days later was like, hey, we made a short film to test out our Nintendo Pictures department.
01:57:04
Steve-O
So I don't know if this was like a tease.
01:57:05
silkdong
So it's not really pick not not really a new Pikmin game then?
01:57:09
Steve-O
No, it's just like they were like testing CGI short films.
01:57:12
silkdong
What the fuck are they doing over there?
01:57:16
semendemon
guys want to look at my...
01:57:16
Steve-O
Yeah.
01:57:16
silkdong
and they made And they made us pay $10 to watch that short film too.
01:57:19
semendemon
You guys want to look at one butt cheek? That's what this is.
01:57:23
Steve-O
And then you wait the next day, you get the other butt cheek.
01:57:26
semendemon
It was just a butt all along.
01:57:28
Steve-O
It was a butt the whole time.
01:57:28
semendemon
We were just playing.
01:57:29
Steve-O
We're just messing around our computer.
01:57:29
semendemon
We were just playing.
01:57:31
silkdong
i was I was going to say, like, Pikmin's cool and all, but I haven't really played, like, the last two games of it.
01:57:38
BeyBlade
Isn't Pikmin's like Miyamoto's like, not passion project, but it's like, what's the word? It's just like, it wouldn't exist still if it just wasn't like his thing that he's like, I don't care what you're doing.
01:57:53
BeyBlade
I'm cashing in
01:57:54
silkdong
Don't tell that to Tim and Rain.
01:57:55
semendemon
yeah yeah Yeah, Tim...
01:57:55
BeyBlade
I'm making Pikmin.
01:57:56
silkdong
Apparently, they're the biggest Pikmin fans on the planet, and they love Pikmin.
01:57:59
BeyBlade
Like his ego projecter.
01:57:59
semendemon
I think Tim would say something to you right now, Devin.
01:58:03
BeyBlade
Yeah.
01:58:04
Steve-O
Tim would play Pikmin for for 10 minutes
01:58:04
BeyBlade
I mean, listen, he might be right. Maybe the Pikmin games are secretly great.
01:58:06
silkdong
yeah but 10 minutes and say 9 and 10 next game.
01:58:12
Steve-O
next game please
01:58:16
semendemon
i'm i'm not also I'm also not caught up on the Pikmin fanaticism that is I see, but
01:58:24
silkdong
I mean, it's cool, but like it's interesting, but like it didn't doesn't really do anything.
01:58:25
Steve-O
It's fun.
01:58:25
semendemon
I think it's neat. I think they're they're cool. I don't want them not to exist.
01:58:31
Steve-O
Pikmin ain't gonna sell the Switch 2.
01:58:36
Steve-O
It couldn't even sell the GameCube.
01:58:37
silkdong
actually Especially at $79.99 for the digital version of the game.
01:58:37
BeyBlade
A Pikmin game, i don't know, man.
01:58:38
Steve-O
Mmm.
01:58:39
BeyBlade
It just feels like... Ugh.
01:58:45
semendemon
What if they were really called?
01:58:45
silkdong
I mean, and honestly, like... Okay, here's my here's my thing, too. If they're, like, trying to show off their, like, animation studio, like, capacity, I don't think this really did anything for me on that front.
01:58:57
Steve-O
yeah
01:58:59
semendemon
You think they're trying to make movies?
01:58:59
silkdong
Like, if they're not... They're not Pixar. They're not, like, yeah, like a baby... was playing and then walks or whatever but like it doesn't really it doesn't have the same fucking juice that an actual fucking animation studio would throw into something like this so it just feels like a feels kind of like a half-assed effort at showing whatever they were showing and it really doesn't do anything it's like kind of nothing
01:59:18
Steve-O
right
01:59:24
Steve-O
yeah that That's why people think it's an ad. Like they think, oh is this like the tease for the new Pikmin game? And it's like, i we don't know.
01:59:33
silkdong
it really doesn't have a it really didn't have a point to it and it seems like it still doesn't have a point to it.
01:59:33
Steve-O
like
01:59:38
semendemon
Man, what ah what a fucking move.
01:59:38
BeyBlade
Yeah, it's just a weird commercial, right? For like...
01:59:40
semendemon
What a fucking move it would be if their first movie was a Pikmin movie.
01:59:45
Steve-O
I mean, maybe maybe they see Pikmin as being their minion.
01:59:45
silkdong
Right.
01:59:45
semendemon
Holy shit.
01:59:50
semendemon
Okay.
01:59:50
BeyBlade
Yeah.
01:59:51
semendemon
Okay.
01:59:51
silkdong
No, they got their minions. It's the little fucking stars in Mario.
01:59:56
silkdong
You know?
01:59:58
Steve-O
Ooh, but Miyamoto hates those guys.
01:59:58
BeyBlade
To me, Picnic just feels like... You know how like you know how like Vin Diesel... demand it that they make like weird Winch Hunter movies because it's just like a thing he likes.
02:00:06
semendemon
Yes.
02:00:08
BeyBlade
like That's what Picnic feels like for Miyamoto.
02:00:11
Steve-O
I want to be a Pikmin.
02:00:12
BeyBlade
He's like, I don't care.
02:00:13
Steve-O
I want to be a Pikmin.
02:00:14
BeyBlade
We're going to do it. I don't care.
02:00:16
Steve-O
I want to be one of the rock ones.
02:00:16
semendemon
Everyone's going to be me. ah Everyone's going to be me. I'm going to be every Pikmin.
02:00:22
BeyBlade
Yeah, so...
02:00:22
Steve-O
Can I be Wario? Wario?
02:00:24
BeyBlade
Yeah, I just, i truly, like, I just didn't know if there was anything past, if they were like, hey, this is why we're doing a video, because the Pikmin are hanging out with babies now, or, don't know, it's just an odd marketing choice.
02:00:43
silkdong
Yeah.
02:00:43
semendemon
marry me. Good sit. Move on. Next one. No other choice.
02:00:53
Steve-O
Did you just ask Devin to marry you?
02:00:55
semendemon
No, he loved that video. i gave it He gave it a marry. I said it was a good sit.
02:00:58
Steve-O
You said, Devin, marry me.

semendemon
Yeah, you loved it. Yeah, and you said it was weird.
02:01:08
BeyBlade
Yeah, no I did.
02:01:08
semendemon
I boiled it down, what you said.
02:01:10
BeyBlade
Objectively married.
02:01:11
Steve-O
know what, I'm gonna give the Pikmin video a kill.
02:01:13
semendemon
oh oh damn, Steve.
02:01:16
Steve-O
Shoulda been Kirby, and he eats the baby.
02:01:19

02:01:21
semendemon
yeah
02:01:21
BeyBlade
Let them cook. Let them cook.
02:01:22
semendemon
Now that's entertainment, folks, and I would love to see a Kirby movie, Nintendo.
02:01:26
Steve-O
Kirby swallows fucking Fred Durst, gets the little red backwards baseball cap,
02:01:33
semendemon
Little goatee.
02:01:36
Steve-O
and he breaks stuff for Nookie.
02:01:36
BeyBlade
Hmm. I think we're talking about two different Miyamotos.
02:01:44
semendemon
Yeah, he would do that, wouldn't he?
02:01:46
Steve-O
Fred Miyamoto.
02:01:46
BeyBlade

02:02:06
semendemon
Park joint. Yeah.

BeyBlade
Yeah, new park joint. ah No Other Choice. it is It's a movie essentially about a a man who loses his job and his family is basically...
02:02:22
BeyBlade
it's kind of implying that his wife has lost all respect for him and he's like, I really need this job. So he just opts to kill everybody that is also up for this job.
02:02:31
silkdong
Can't wait to see This is our Christmas movie, right, Chris?

BeyBlade
Because we were watching a movie we on Christmas Day and some guy was like, I want to be home with my family.
02:03:46
Steve-O

silkdong

BeyBlade
I, yeah, yeah, I do think so.

02:05:16
semendemon
Now listen, I'm going to watch it. Don't get me wrong. I'm not saying I'm not going to watch it. But it's just been um so long. And um it's hard to have the same level of love and passion that I had for this that I did like 10 years ago.
02:05:35
semendemon
um Dance of the Dragons is is a very poor replacement for anything like this. And I really hope it's good. I really hope it's good, but I just, it's kind of hard for me to care too much.
02:05:53
semendemon
i don't know.
02:05:53
Steve-O
but What HBO producer decided to call it a Knight of the Seven Kingdoms?
02:06:00
semendemon
Some asshole who doesn't know that Dunkin' Egg is the best title that ever exists.
02:06:04
Steve-O
It's so good. that's the thing That's the thing.
02:06:06
semendemon
Mm-hmm.
02:06:07
Steve-O
That's what like makes it fun. is

Xbox's Market Challenges

02:06:10
Steve-O
It's like Game of Thrones. All the Game of Thrones things have this like big like oh a song of ice and fire and whoop-ly-doo-pula hoop-la.

so i The trailer is very, like, it's funny. It's kind of like a funny show. Yeah.
02:06:32
semendemon
Yeah, because he's the only nice person in the world.
02:06:36
Steve-O
That's wonderful.
02:06:37
semendemon
And he's so so he's so dumb. like it's Duncan is... He's got such a big heart and he's got... He just keeps getting back up. Like, that's his thing.
02:06:49
Steve-O
Hmm.
02:06:49
semendemon
Like, whenever he gets hit, he just keeps pulling himself back up. You know, like Rocky. You know?
02:06:55
Steve-O
a
02:06:56
semendemon
Like, that's the the... Just think of Rocky and Westeros.
02:07:00
Steve-O
I love that.
02:07:00
semendemon
like Right? Like, that's... It desperately needs someone like that.
02:07:04
Steve-O
If any world needs a Rocky, yeah.
02:07:08
semendemon
And like the whole part where he, in the beginning there, he's burying his... Basically, he was a sire to a knight, but it was just some bum that he traveled around with that said he was a knight and told him like how to be a knight.
02:07:17
Steve-O
oh
02:07:21
semendemon
But he was like not telling him everything properly. But he still buries him. you know and is a big so it's just it really hurts your heart. it's This is a heart one.
02:07:33
semendemon
And I really hope they get it right. ah really do. It's a great story. All three stories are wonderful.
02:07:41
BeyBlade
Well,
02:07:42
Steve-O
But they're all out too, right?
02:07:43
semendemon
Yeah, you can read them all. I think they even made them in the comics.
02:07:45
Steve-O
hey That means, hey, they might just nail it.
02:07:50
semendemon
It's true. The source material is there and it's not based on an encyclopedia that George R.
02:07:56
BeyBlade
what listen, I think if this goes like literally every other product ah they've done, season one's going to roll and then they're going to deviate from the script and then George R.
02:07:57
semendemon
R. Martin wrote.
02:08:03
semendemon
Yeah.
02:08:07
BeyBlade
R. Martin's going to complain about it.
02:08:09
semendemon
Yep, and then he'll be kicked off again.
02:08:10
BeyBlade
So...
02:08:11
Steve-O
We're going to need 10 more seasons of this Night of the Seven Kingdoms.
02:08:12
BeyBlade
no
02:08:14
BeyBlade
Yeah, season two is going to be completely, wildly different. And he's going to be like, they're not doing what I said they'd do.
02:08:18
semendemon
Let's make him even dumber. No. Oh.
02:08:21
BeyBlade
What do you mean finish a book? Leave alone.
02:08:26
Steve-O
I'm very excited to see the Peacemaker memes for this show.
02:08:26
semendemon
ah
02:08:29
Steve-O
Dude, those, John, those were so fucking funny.
02:08:31
BeyBlade
Yeah.
02:08:31
silkdong
and there's just so this so funny ah love them no cause there were two or three different moments they could have just dropped it during that but they waited until fucking Harvey Dent's rolling in the fucking flames with his face in it so good what else Xbox is dead again news
02:08:35
Steve-O
Oh my god, the fucking Dark Knight one. ha ha ha ha.
02:08:45
Steve-O
Fire.
02:08:51
Steve-O
fire
02:08:59
BeyBlade
Yeah, Xbox. Oh, apparently, ah John, that link you sent me, apparently that photo was from like 2004 or something.
02:09:07
silkdong
You love it
02:09:08
BeyBlade
Yeah, it was an old photo, but it's just...
02:09:10
silkdong
But it still rings true.
02:09:12
BeyBlade
Yeah, so John sent me a link. and It had been going around. There was another rumor that like Target and Walmart had pulled their Xbox products, um which isn't necessarily untrue because somebody posted a video of...
02:09:26
BeyBlade
ah all the Xbox products being like heavily discounted, like 80% discounts for games and things like that. But it just kind of goes to show that public opinion, it's now a meme to dunk on Xbox, right? It's just like, it's really hard and to turn back from all that.
02:09:50
Steve-O
Yeah.
02:09:50
BeyBlade
And yeah, I don't know... um I have a big brain theory about it, frankly, which is a long story short of it all, is that they are... Because you know how like the only Game Pass that even remotely seems like it's worth it now is like the PC version?
02:10:09
Steve-O
Yes.
02:10:11
BeyBlade
I think my my theory is that they are clearly going for that market to a point where in a few years the console Game Pass is going to be like this vestigial thing.
02:10:24
BeyBlade
where eventually they're just going to close it off because like, oh, listen, like that's kind of the main game pass you want is the PC game pass.
02:10:30
Steve-O
Yeah.
02:10:31
BeyBlade
And then in a few years, once the console comes out, like just for those weirdos that still want consoles, right? But I think their main focus is going to be just building an Xbox store by utilizing the audience that they're hopefully growing.
02:10:46
BeyBlade
This is their plan, right? the The plan that they, the audience that they want to grow
02:10:47
Steve-O
yeah
02:10:51
BeyBlade
on PC game pass to a point where, you know, it becomes in their eyes, a viable competitor to steam where they go, okay, well you have your steam store, but you have your Xbox games pass store, you know, your Xbox store essentially.
02:11:06
silkdong
Good luck with that.
02:11:08
BeyBlade
Hey, yeah. I mean, it wasn't my decision. I didn't say to go ahead and do that.
02:11:11
semendemon
Hey, wait for 2027. They're going to release a real banger.
02:11:14
Steve-O
here's ah Here's something I'm going to throw your way.
02:11:15
semendemon
All right.
02:11:18
Steve-O
What if the quote-unquote next Xbox is Steam integrated?
02:11:25
semendemon
Oh, boy.
02:11:25
Steve-O
And what if they mean what if they but if they make a deal with Steam?
02:11:26
BeyBlade
I mean, that's been the rumor, yeah, but...
02:11:28
silkdong
what if they What if they bought Steam and then laid everybody off after?
02:11:32
Steve-O
Oh, thats i mean that's that's probably more likely to happen.
02:11:33
semendemon
Ha, ha, ha, ha.
02:11:34
silkdong
What if they did that? What if they did that, guys?
02:11:36
Steve-O
But but think about think about it this way. like Jack up the prices now where people are like, oh, Xbox Game Pass, that's stupid.
02:11:44
silkdong
um then undercut And then undercut themselves to make
02:11:45
Steve-O
And no, no, no, no. And then be like, you can play Steam games on our Xbox. It is basically a Steam Deck. It's not like portable, but it's like ah it's a Steam console.
02:11:58
Steve-O
And we've made deals with Valve to allow Game Pass on Steam.
02:12:06
Steve-O
I think that would be that would be that market that you're talking about with PC Xbox.
02:12:06
BeyBlade
Yeah, but it's like...
02:12:11
BeyBlade
Yeah, but like, why would I ever want to... Like, let's say I buy an Xbox that has the Steam Store attached to it.
02:12:18
Steve-O
Right.
02:12:19
BeyBlade
Why would I use anything other than the Steam Store?
02:12:23
Steve-O
that's what I'm saying. Like,
02:12:24
BeyBlade
Yeah.
02:12:26
Steve-O
They're factoring that in as well as Steam is making money, but Xbox is also making money because you are playing it on their consoles. you arere playing it on their you're you're You're playing it on PC, so they're already making money because Windows is where most people play their games on PC.
02:12:35
BeyBlade
Yeah.
02:12:42
BeyBlade
I really think, yeah.
02:12:42
semendemon
If you can make it less affordable or i more affordable than the Steam Deck, then you might have some there.
02:12:50
BeyBlade
Well, you get your ROG Ally for only $1,000, you know?
02:12:51
silkdong
No, but like, no but it's, yeah, but the the thing is, is like, i don't know.
02:12:52
BeyBlade
Yeah. Yeah. you know
02:12:57
silkdong
The infrastructure is already there for Steam. Like Xbox is just trying to buy infrastructure for themselves.
02:13:03
BeyBlade
yeah
02:13:03
silkdong
And it's just, I don't think it, I don't think it would work.
02:13:06
Steve-O
It's never going to work, honestly.
02:13:06
silkdong
There's no reason. Yeah. And there's no re there's no reason for Steam. It's same thing with Sony. Like there's no reason for them to make a deal with Xbox. Not like they have any leverage whatsoever because the last Halos flop.
02:13:15
Steve-O
no no.
02:13:19
silkdong
Everything else that they've done is a flop. Did Fable get cancelled? Fable got cancelled.
02:13:24
BeyBlade
No, it didn't get canceled yet.
02:13:25
silkdong
Forza's in Japan.
02:13:26
Steve-O
Feels like it.
02:13:26
BeyBlade
yes
02:13:26
silkdong
Wow. They're still not going to sell Xboxes in Japan. Age old tale. 100 years in the making. They'll never sell one Xbox in Japan. Even if they put their games in Japan.
02:13:37
Steve-O
They keep telling me they but they're not.
02:13:37
silkdong
Like it's just.
02:13:40
silkdong
And like yeah. like Call Duty. They have Call of Duty. Sure. But it's like. they're They kind of shot themselves in the foot here. Because like. It's not if they if like they're never going to just they're never going to they were never going to balls up and make it exclusive.
02:13:56
silkdong
Right. They were going to try and do it in such a way that they can still make millions and hedge their bets by selling it on other consoles, but somehow try to coerce people into buying whatever platforms they have for it with whatever perks that aren't even worth it anyway.
02:13:57
Steve-O
No.
02:14:14
silkdong
You know.
02:14:14
Steve-O
They thought they thought call of duty on game pass was going to net them a lot more and it ended up not doing anything for them.
02:14:19
silkdong
Right.
02:14:22
silkdong
And like the like the fucking I mean there's 400 smoking guns here.
02:14:27
Steve-O
Yeah.
02:14:28
silkdong
The one smoking gun is they they've just tried to outright buy fucking studios for titles and they've failed at that because they have bought studios but then they just end up failing and they just lay everyone off anyway and they look bad.
02:14:28
BeyBlade
Yeah.
02:14:44
silkdong
And the other smoking gun is like they don't have anything to sell on their systems anymore.
02:14:52
Steve-O
yeah
02:14:52
silkdong
So their systems are dead. Like they, they, they've got nothing, dude. They've got not, they've got, they've got no leverage at all. Like they're, I think they're, I think they're truly dead.
02:14:59
Steve-O
in the most
02:15:01
silkdong
I think they're truly done. And it's bad for Sony too.
02:15:02
Steve-O
In the most pivotal time of modern gaming, like PlayStation 4
02:15:11
Steve-O
was that was the Sony's going to be around forever because that was in a very important generation and Xbox went from first place to last in one year.
02:15:24
Steve-O
In 2013, they tanked their entire company and they they kept saying they were going to come back. They kept making promises. They kept announcing games and then canceling them.
02:15:36
Steve-O
And it just ended up like people were seeing this and they were just taking it in where it's like Xbox is basically just this like console that is just promise after promise, but no delivering.
02:15:46
Steve-O
Like everything you want to play on an Xbox, you can play on another console now.
02:15:47
semendemon
Mm hmm.
02:15:51
Steve-O
It's basically...
02:15:51
semendemon
You're saying their name was mud since 2013.
02:15:54
Steve-O
Their name was Right.
02:15:54
silkdong
Well, yeah, and like, and they already, they are i mean, we've talked about this fucking to no end too. Like they'd already admitted defeat years ago when they started releasing shit on PC.
02:16:05
Steve-O
Right.
02:16:06
silkdong
If they just, if they just stuck to their guns like Sony did or like Nintendo does, like then they might have something, you know? And Sony has kind of a working model now where they can still appeal to the PC crowd.
02:16:19
silkdong
They just time their own exclusives and release them later, right?
02:16:21
Steve-O
um You like get this in a year.
02:16:23
BeyBlade
Yeah.
02:16:24
Steve-O
You get this in a year. Right.
02:16:26
silkdong
And like it's and so in Xbox, they just tried to do too much. Their fucking answer to being the biggest fucking loser in the in the industry the last six years is to make their fucking service more expensive.
02:16:40
BeyBlade
Yeah.
02:16:41
Steve-O
Right.
02:16:41
silkdong
and it's And it's not just more expensive like the Netflix rising prices.
02:16:41
BeyBlade
yeah
02:16:46
silkdong
It's, oh, let's triple the fucking cost. Make it cost but cost an entire Xbox per year. to get our service that we didn't even, that we didn't even, yeah, we didn't even implement properly enough to make it ah like a viable fucking, uh, uh, business model because it's not, it's not a good business model.
02:16:55
Steve-O
You're supposed to nickel and dime.
02:17:07
Steve-O
no. no like
02:17:08
silkdong
And like, it was, it's cool. It was cool on paper, like talking about it before, like, and you know, uh, a bunch of us have had Xbox and game pass for, don't I had it for what through 20 from 2020 through like 2022.
02:17:23
silkdong
like twenty twenty two
02:17:24
Steve-O
That's a really good run.
02:17:24
silkdong
And then, yeah, and then a year later or a year into the second year, I'm like, why am I paying for this? Like, why am I breaking my back installing Cocoon on my PC just so I can fucking play it?
02:17:32
BeyBlade
Yeah.
02:17:40
silkdong
Like, this doesn't make any sense to me. You know, like, it's just, ah I don't know. there They're so dead. They're so dumb.
02:17:47
BeyBlade
I mean, like...
02:17:48
silkdong
and the And the worst part the worst part is, Devin, like, i mean, I don't know. What's gonna happen? But I think this is like bad for Sony, too. Because I think that they need...
02:17:57
semendemon
Competition.
02:17:58
silkdong
They need ah like an actual one-to-one competitor. like Nintendo isn't really...
02:18:02
Steve-O
You need somebody to dunk on.
02:18:04
silkdong
Yeah, Nintendo's not really a competitor. Because they've separated themselves from that space.
02:18:09
BeyBlade
Right, yeah.
02:18:09
silkdong
at space you know
02:18:11
Steve-O
It's like going after Weird Al Yankovic.
02:18:11
silkdong
so
02:18:13
BeyBlade
I mean, the only thing I can really think of, again, for like why they would Xbox or Microsoft would want to stay really into this PC infrastructure is because... PCs are, you know, as as a big console guy, ah PCs are definitely the future. Like, kids are buying PCs in droves because they watch Twitch and they that's where all the games are being played on.
02:18:41
BeyBlade
And, you know, kids see Twitch as a potential money maker for them. Because they can have their own Twitch channels. So everybody's just going to want to buy ah PC. And who makes PCs? Who makes that? Who makes the money off of that? Microsoft. Like, whatever gets them the more money, like, they're fine with.
02:19:02
BeyBlade
Like, again, because at the end of the day, like, unfortunately, not unfortunately, but it's just like Microsoft, it's a $4 trillion dollar company.
02:19:09
silkdong
But I think, yeah, but...
02:19:11
BeyBlade
dude Like, they're making money no matter what.
02:19:11
silkdong
Yeah, but at the Xbox brand... But I think the Xbox brand as ah as a brand, is I think, is cooked. is I think it's done.
02:19:17
BeyBlade
I mean, yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if it just turns into, like, Microsoft Game Pass.
02:19:23
silkdong
Windows Game Pass.
02:19:24
BeyBlade
The Game Pass?
02:19:24
Steve-O
they just become the service.
02:19:25
BeyBlade
Yeah, Windows Game Like, Game Pass is the only somewhat positive brand. And even then, they kind of recently really and beat that up.
02:19:31
silkdong
Even then, it's not it's not really... yeah like, who wants to... Dude, it's it's almost like... And I hate to say this, but like maybe the Game Pass is what's driving is also like a catalyst for what's driving the the the cost of of video games up even more so than than Nintendo being greedy.
02:19:49
BeyBlade
Oh, yeah.
02:19:54
silkdong
Maybe this is Nintendo's was an answer to that because it's like, oh, you're spending $120 a year on fucking seven games that you might not like.
02:19:58
BeyBlade
Yeah. Okay.
02:20:08
silkdong
Here's a game that you're guaranteed to like for $80. Like it makes more sense that way. If, and if Microsoft's making money off of that, like why, why wouldn't Nintendo and you know, why wouldn't Rockstar charge a hundred dollars for GTA six?
02:20:21
silkdong
You know, like what, because that, that is a game that millions of people will just play for an entire year. And at that point, you're already spending less than your, what you're spending on game pass for GTA six.
02:20:29
BeyBlade
Oh yeah, no, 100%.
02:20:34
BeyBlade
Yeah, but I will say like those are, those, you know, are definitely exceptions, maybe exceptions that prove the rule, right?
02:20:35
silkdong
If you're spending a hundred dollars on it,
02:20:41
BeyBlade
But it's just like, and the thing is, is when you look at the Game Pass price now, right? It's like 30 bucks. And even then, it was kind of on the line of what makes sense for a normal person.
02:20:56
BeyBlade
Because i think there was some metric where it's like 75 games a month come out on Game Pass. Like a month in terms of like like total. And that's just like, who the who's only like the 12 year olds have the time to play like even more than like two games in a month.
02:21:20
silkdong
Right.
02:21:21
BeyBlade
Like, honestly, and I don't mean like you gotta to be 12 to play games that much, but it's just like,
02:21:24
silkdong
Yeah, but like, why if I'm going to play Battlefield for a month, like why don't I just spend the $60 on it and just play that?
02:21:30
BeyBlade
yeah, you know?
02:21:31
silkdong
You know, like, if I'm a Battlefield guy.
02:21:33
BeyBlade
Yeah, I just play that.
02:21:34
silkdong
Like, why would i win um would I waste my money spending $360 on a bunch of games I'm not going play? and that i don't need And I don't even own them.
02:21:39
BeyBlade
And it's definitely,
02:21:41
silkdong
And I don't even fucking own them. And if I stop paying for the service, I stop having the capability of playing the game anyway.
02:21:43
BeyBlade
Yeah.
02:21:47
silkdong
So it's really like,
02:21:49
BeyBlade
And I hate to say it.
02:21:49
silkdong
It's really just a bad... I hate to say too, because I thought Game Pass was cool when it was first and announced. I was like, this is a great idea.
02:21:56
BeyBlade
Yeah.
02:21:57
silkdong
And it's not.
02:21:57
BeyBlade
But it's it's just too...
02:21:58
silkdong
It's a horrible idea.
02:21:59
BeyBlade
And like and frankly, it's like I get it. like Games are hard to make. But like it's a quantity over quality thing. Like for sure. ah On Game Pass. It's just like...
02:22:09
silkdong
like are the debt were the The devs were getting paid good money like through for putting their stuff.
02:22:09
BeyBlade
There's so much...
02:22:13
BeyBlade
Yeah, but even then, like, devs devs have been starting to speak out against it. They're like, yeah, it's not... It probably hurts. they're They're admitting it. They're like, yeah, honestly, probably hurt overall game sales for this game and that game and X, Y, and Z, and it's just like... It's not... Because when it's one 70 games that come out What does that mean? like you know and Maybe I said a month, right?
02:22:40
BeyBlade
Maybe um maybe I'm wrong. But when it's one of dozens of games, it gets lost in the shuffle, right? And only, you know, kind of like the Netflix problem, right?
02:22:52
BeyBlade
Only certain things really rise to the top and
02:22:54
silkdong
i I probably would have played and beaten Cocoon if I actually paid paid for it and didn't just, you know, and that's probably a good game.
02:23:00
BeyBlade
Yeah, because you because it's not, to me, for video games, because it's an interactive thing. I want to be the decider of, I am interested and I want to play this.
02:23:12
BeyBlade
I don't want these things thrown at me and be like, well, go go and play it because it's there's 10 things here and you should try it all because you're paying for the service and now you've got to feel like you're getting your money's worth.
02:23:12
silkdong
Right.
02:23:23
BeyBlade
like I want to make the decision to play the game. And to me, that's why it always felt...
02:23:29
silkdong
i want to buy but I want to make the decision to buy Borderlands for for Steam Deck and have it
02:23:29
BeyBlade
even though there's some legitimate
02:23:33
BeyBlade
yeah like but like honestly yes um like yes there are some bangers right like yeah but like yes Indiana Jones is ah on there yes Claire Obscure was on there but it's like
02:23:39
semendemon
yeah man I'm an American for Christ's sakes
02:23:40
silkdong
not work. No, No, but like...
02:23:42
Steve-O
Yeah.
02:23:44
silkdong
yeah
02:23:46
semendemon
but
02:23:49
silkdong
No, but look at Chris. He's okay with the decision, and then whole he will have the game. Chris, you will have you will have owned the game later on when it does become playable or if you end up getting getting getting a platform that is able to run it for some reason like later on, and you'll you'll be able to play it.
02:23:59
semendemon
Exactly.
02:24:04
Steve-O
yeah
02:24:05
semendemon
Sooner or later. One of those things. yeah
02:24:07
silkdong
it's not that It's not that you spend a bunch of money on a PC...
02:24:08
BeyBlade
Yeah.
02:24:11
silkdong
And Game Pass, and you have fucking 30 games that you download, and then you just don't know what to do, because they're it's overwhelming, and there's too many games to play.
02:24:18
semendemon
Totally. I'm going to play Borderlands 4 at some point when I can.
02:24:23
silkdong
Right.
02:24:23
semendemon
why i bought it.
02:24:26
semendemon
There's going to be a point where I get a computer...
02:24:27
BeyBlade
Yeah, you know, at some point...
02:24:29
semendemon
Or it works for the Steam Deck and I will play it. That's a given for me.
02:24:34
BeyBlade
Or it'll be on sale for less than $20. And you'll just buy it on a, you know, you repurchase it or, you know, for something.
02:24:42
semendemon
Maybe.
02:24:44
BeyBlade
But, yeah, it's true.
02:24:44
semendemon
i mean, I have a Steam account now. That's kind of universal.
02:24:46
Steve-O
If it's all on sale, you got to get it. You got to.
02:24:49
BeyBlade
You get it, Chris.
02:24:49
semendemon
You gotta to get it again.
02:24:50
Steve-O
Got to get it.
02:24:51
BeyBlade
Gotta get it.
02:24:51
semendemon
Gotta try over time.
02:24:53
BeyBlade
ah But, yeah, it's just and poor old Xbox, sort of.
02:24:58
silkdong
It's just, yeah yeah, it's kind of like, it's funny and it's like, that it's happening. But like, it's also kind of tiring to talk about because like, it's really, this is all everyone's going talk about for for the foreseeable future.
02:25:13
BeyBlade
Oh yeah.
02:25:14
silkdong
Especially,
02:25:14
Steve-O
It's just what people identify with the brand for
02:25:17
silkdong
yeah and it's like, it's kind of sad. Like, and I'm not going to mention any names, but like, people are just like, convincing themselves that it's worth it.
02:25:19
Steve-O
Yeah.
02:25:26
silkdong
And I see it firsthand, and it's just like, it's not, though. Like, it's really not worth it.
02:25:31
BeyBlade
Yeah. Like unless you are.
02:25:31
silkdong
it's not worth it's not worth a It's not worth eight season passes for eight different games that you're not going to take full advantage of.
02:25:32
BeyBlade
Yeah.
02:25:40
silkdong
Like, it just doesn't make any sense.
02:25:40
BeyBlade
yeah it it's now become a very unique type of person that it's worth it to, as opposed to just like something that anybody could get.
02:25:49
silkdong
Right.
02:25:52
BeyBlade
But man, once you really think about, once you look at your bills and you're like, I'm spending 30 bucks on month.
02:25:58
silkdong
Yeah, I'm like, what was what am I doing?
02:26:00
BeyBlade
Fuck am I paying for?
02:26:00
silkdong
Like, why am I buying? Why am I playing this?
02:26:02
BeyBlade
Yeah. And then you drop, Oh God, I got dropped this. Fuck that. You know, it's just, God, I haven't, I haven't turned my, I haven't turned my fucking Xbox on two months. Jesus Christ. And then, you know, because not everybody is the guy that plays Fortnite weekly or daily plus the two, three games a month that comes out.
02:26:23
Steve-O
Art the Clown's coming.
02:26:23
BeyBlade
You know.
02:26:23
Steve-O
You sure, Devin?
02:26:26
BeyBlade
Yeah, I'm still pretty sure.
02:26:27
semendemon
It might get me. It might get me. It might hook me.
02:26:29
BeyBlade
Yeah, might get Chris. Chris, fire up. How much? Yeah, just fire up the $75 a month on Gamepad.
02:26:36
Steve-O
I'll let you know. I'll let you know when Art's in.
02:26:38
semendemon
yeah
02:26:38
BeyBlade
Yeah.
02:26:39
semendemon
No, I'm in.
02:26:39
BeyBlade
So they will let us know.
02:26:40
semendemon
Art's in, I'm in.
02:26:43
BeyBlade
ah ah so Real quick, speaking of games, didn't we? It was games, right? they're Where we were creating games of the decade and then
02:26:51
Steve-O
Yeah, we were doing our our game of the ah top top five game of the decades.
02:26:56
BeyBlade
Chris wasn't here.
02:26:57
semendemon
I wasn't here.
02:26:58
silkdong
Yeah.
02:26:59
BeyBlade
ah We we were came up with an algorithm that I've now almost completely forgotten.
02:27:06
semendemon
yeah
02:27:06
BeyBlade
Lots of guessing. I know that.
02:27:07
semendemon
ah cool.
02:27:09
BeyBlade
But we were like, we'll have Chris finish it out.
02:27:09
semendemon
That's cool.
02:27:09
silkdong
What did, yeah, well, ah the, the, the goal was we were going to present our list to Chris and then he would critique it, making it, see if he should add something, see if he shouldn't add something.

Top Games of the Decade

02:27:23
BeyBlade
Yeah, but I think we we came to three.
02:27:25
semendemon
Top five.
02:27:26
BeyBlade
Yeah, but we I think we...
02:27:28
silkdong
Of the last 10 years. It was like 2015 through now.
02:27:30
Steve-O
From 2015 to 2025.
02:27:30
semendemon
Okay.
02:27:30
Steve-O
Wait a second. hold on.
02:27:33
semendemon
Okay. All right.
02:27:34
BeyBlade
Yeah.
02:27:35
semendemon
So what are the top five?
02:27:36
silkdong
It's Hollow Knight. Hollow Knight Silksong.
02:27:39
Steve-O
a second hold on
02:27:41
BeyBlade
Wow. Damn it. Yeah.
02:27:42
semendemon
Oh, yeah?
02:27:43
BeyBlade
We might be able to see you to pull up.
02:27:44
semendemon
Is that true? Nah, nah, nah,
02:27:46
silkdong
No, no, no. That's not true.
02:27:48
BeyBlade
Well, we had yeah we had a list and that we were... We had some fun guesses and then we said, well, let's wait for Chris.
02:27:53
semendemon
na and na na na and
02:27:54
silkdong
yeah what Yeah, what did we have?
02:27:54
BeyBlade
It was like Witcher 3.
02:27:56
silkdong
We we had like a ah pool of of games.
02:27:58
BeyBlade
Yeah.
02:27:59
silkdong
There were a pool of games to pick from.
02:27:59
Steve-O
Breath of the Wild, Witcher 3, Elden Ring, God of War, Red Dead 2.
02:28:07
silkdong
Red and Red Dead 2.
02:28:11
silkdong
And Last of Us? Wait.
02:28:13
semendemon
Where's Last of Us Part 2?
02:28:13
silkdong
No.
02:28:15
Steve-O
Oh, was it God of War Last of Us?
02:28:19
silkdong
What did we decide on? Oh my god, we we' were so bad at this.
02:28:24
semendemon
I mean, those are pretty well-rounded games to pick. I mean, those are, what, like the highest rated games on Metacritic too?
02:28:32
silkdong
Well, we were... Our, like, metric was, like, what what, like, was, like, you know, a game-changing, like, revolutionary, like... Like, what what games influenced the most out of these these this generation of games, probably.
02:28:50
semendemon
Those are pretty good picks for that. I gotta say, like, even though I'm not a huge Red Dead 2 fan, but, I mean, it is a game changer.
02:28:55
silkdong
i mean, i think I think we got...
02:29:00
Steve-O
Yeah, I respect it. I respect it.
02:29:03
semendemon
So...
02:29:03
silkdong
And like ah that we we got into it a little bit about whether God of War 2018 should be in there. And I was i was actually.
02:29:11
semendemon
I'd probably put it, that I mean, if you're gonna put anyone, it's gonna be that one over Ragnarok.
02:29:15
silkdong
Well, yeah, I mean, that's what I think that's what Devin said. And I was like, hold on a second, Devin.
02:29:20
BeyBlade
Mm-hmm.
02:29:22
silkdong
Because I actually kind of went to bat for that game just because I brought up the the fact that the game was ah one take. The entire game is is a one shot.
02:29:32
semendemon
Yeah, it's it's really cinematic. It's fun.
02:29:34
Steve-O
Yeah.
02:29:34
silkdong
Which is like, which I think, and that and like Halo Infinite tried to do the same thing. And I'm sure there are other games that I didn't play that have tried to do very similar cinematic choices that God of War 2018 did.
02:29:49
silkdong
And the fact that it's so different than the previous, like way different from the previous God of Wars to the point where I don't even count those as good games anymore.
02:29:59
semendemon
i think it I think it changed mocap acting.
02:29:59
silkdong
And I...
02:30:01
semendemon
I think that only improved. So that's kind of a game changer.
02:30:04
silkdong
Yeah.
02:30:04
Steve-O
yeah
02:30:07
silkdong
So, i yeah, that's what that that was my reasoning for it to be in there. But, like, we acknowledged Witcher 3, but I don't know. Like, Devin, i again, you can you can you can defend it because I didn't play it, Devin.
02:30:17
semendemon
little hazy on that one.
02:30:21
BeyBlade
yeah
02:30:22
silkdong
But i i don't I need to know, like, the I need the PowerPoint slide with the bullet points that explain to me how Witcher 3 is, like, and an evolution of video games as a whole.
02:30:36
silkdong
as a game, as opposed to just a really amazing game that came out. So give it to me.
02:30:41
BeyBlade
Right. Okay. Just come up with the the PowerPoint right now.
02:30:43
silkdong
Well, I mean, why yeah why like well why like why would you why would you put on this list?
02:30:49
BeyBlade
I mean, I do think it's, I think the thing that makes it stand out, like, truthfully is its storytelling and the way.
02:31:02
silkdong
Because what what I think about is you didn't have ah you didn't have a chest in your house to put all your items in when the first game first came out.
02:31:10
BeyBlade
ah Right.
02:31:10
silkdong
And I think that's stupid.
02:31:11
BeyBlade
Yeah.
02:31:12
silkdong
They added that later.
02:31:12
BeyBlade
Um, Well, no, they added a bunch of chests in a bunch of different places, but it also took them like over a decade to add a fast travel spot in one very particular spot.
02:31:25
BeyBlade
And frankly, I have no idea why it took them so long. But no, honestly, it's like to me, it's like Witcher 3 is it's such a complete package in the sense of it's gameplay, it's narrative, and it's it's it's insistence on that a side quest. I really feel like this was the first game of its kind, or at least the first game of this size and, you know, spectacle that said, no, like the side quest isn't going to be like a brain dead thing.
02:31:58
BeyBlade
Like these are going to have their own plots, their own stories.
02:32:02
silkdong
Oh, you never played Fallout 3? Okay, that's cool.
02:32:05
BeyBlade
That's,
02:32:06
semendemon
For New Vegas.
02:32:07
BeyBlade
To be fair, to be fair, I actually have i haven't.
02:32:07
semendemon
um' I'll give them that.
02:32:07
Steve-O
Mm-hmm.
02:32:08
semendemon
I'll give you that.
02:32:09
BeyBlade
I really haven't, right?
02:32:10
silkdong
Yeah. da da da yeah
02:32:11
BeyBlade
but But it's like, what are those side quests? Like, there's you know there is the Bloody Baron type stuff. Like, that's the big example. But there's so many types of those stories that are just within the greater narrative.
02:32:20
silkdong
Okay.
02:32:24
silkdong
Because, I mean, the other another game that comes to mind when you when you when you talk about that is, like, I would say like Mass Effect is is a game like that as well, where side quests could feel more important than they than i should feel to.
02:32:37
Steve-O
Red Dead 1.
02:32:39
silkdong
Red Dead 1. Well, okay. The difference is, and don't want to critique Red Dead 1 because I love it so much, but it felt like they kind of bombarded you with side quests, where the game basically turned into who can distract John Marston the most from doing what he needs to do. And I kind of, I think that kind of takes away, but again, some side quests are really good.
02:33:03
silkdong
I just think it was way more polished than Red Dead 2.
02:33:04
Steve-O
Just saying, what one of the best DLCs all time.
02:33:07
silkdong
i mean that's a DLC though.
02:33:09
Steve-O
One of the best.
02:33:09
silkdong
And it's a standalone. It's a pizza party.
02:33:12
Steve-O
It stands alone, man. It stands alone.
02:33:15
silkdong
Yeah. Cause the, another one that was kind of like that, Chris, you may not have thought about yet, but you will now is that we were kind of like, Oh, like this Baldur's Gate 3 belong on this list, but we didn't,
02:33:27
silkdong
None of us really played through it enough to, to, but like, I'd like to get your perspective on that just because, you know, you actually played the shit out of that game.
02:33:37
semendemon
Well, I would probably sub out Witcher 3 for Baldur's Gate 3 in that regard. like I do think Baldur's Gate 3, as far as like storytelling characters, it's so full.
02:33:53
semendemon
But you did say like Game Changer. I don't know. I don't know if I would necessarily, I don't know if i would necessarily say it's.
02:33:57
silkdong
Yeah, is Baldur's Gate 3 really a game changer?
02:34:03
silkdong
Or just one of the best games ever made? Because there's a difference, right? You could have one of the best games ever made, and then you could have like...
02:34:05
semendemon
Yeah. Like that's, I, I, I think both Witcher three and Baldur's Gate three are not game changers. That's me though. That's my perspective.
02:34:18
semendemon
um I wouldn't put either of them on that list.
02:34:22
silkdong
Okay.
02:34:22
semendemon
I don't know. Like, if you really want to be honest, should be like Fortnite or something.
02:34:28
BeyBlade
well Well, so Chris, some some of the argument too, right?
02:34:28
silkdong
Gross.
02:34:30
semendemon
That's the sad part of it all.
02:34:32
BeyBlade
Wait, so Chris, some of the argument really was though, it's like, because we ah all had our own personal list and it was like, well, like to me, Elden Rings like was never going to be on the list, right?
02:34:38
semendemon
Sure.
02:34:43
semendemon
Right.
02:34:43
BeyBlade
To me, Breath of the Wild was never going to be on the list and it's like, just those those are again those are games that I just don't like or enjoy or are good.
02:34:44
semendemon
I figured...
02:34:46
silkdong
It's fucking shitty. Which just shows that you're not...
02:34:52
silkdong
Yeah, like, you're the You're like the...
02:34:53
semendemon
You're right.
02:34:53
silkdong
god
02:34:53
BeyBlade
Yeah.
02:34:54
silkdong
you're like ah You're like the the the guy that says, oh, well, math isn't really important and that you don't really do math in the real world.
02:35:01
BeyBlade
No, no, it's it's not. it's the Honestly, no no it's the same as you saying, hey, Witcher 3 is not on my list, right?
02:35:02
silkdong
Like, that's what it feels like.
02:35:07
semendemon
You're right.
02:35:08
BeyBlade
Because it's I'm not saying that those are bad games, but they're just...
02:35:08
semendemon
But like. would put fort. I if I if if this was not my heart involved. It it would be fortnight.
02:35:15
silkdong
Yeah, we need a subject.
02:35:16
semendemon
Right.
02:35:16
BeyBlade
Right, right.
02:35:16
silkdong
I want a subjective.
02:35:16
BeyBlade
but but um But then the argument then became like, well, why don't we just look up a Metacritic list and that's the argument, right?
02:35:22
semendemon
right
02:35:22
BeyBlade
Well, let's just do that.
02:35:23
silkdong
Well, we did ask.
02:35:23
BeyBlade
Let's take it all.
02:35:25
semendemon
Well, Metacritic doesn't doesn't mean shit when it comes to changing everything.
02:35:25
silkdong
We did ask... No, we we did ask ChatGPT and we were pretty close to what ChatGPT came up with.
02:35:32
semendemon
me Metacritic doesn't provide the nuance of a game changing the landscape.
02:35:33
silkdong
Dude.
02:35:38
semendemon
It doesn't. like get No review platform will do that with any piece of art. like Some things that are lowly reviewed art end up being changing the narrative of everything.
02:35:51
semendemon
like It's hard to really forecast that, too. So, but like in the same regard, most of those games i don't like that have come out recently that have been game changers.
02:36:02
BeyBlade
no Yeah, I mean, exactly.
02:36:03
silkdong
So chat, so chat, chat GPT, chat GPT actually has our, like the list that we put it together, which is pretty funny.
02:36:05
semendemon
So in that regard, it's hard for me to say, you know,
02:36:13
silkdong
Cause that dude, I, I took out Chris. I took super Mario Odyssey out and put God of war in just because i felt that subjectively, i think God of war was like more of like ah step up in video games as a whole.
02:36:32
silkdong
than Super Mario Odyssey, right? Even though Super Mario Odyssey is, like, my favorite game ever of all time, right?
02:36:38
semendemon
Yeah. No, I get you.
02:36:39
silkdong
yeah You know?
02:36:39
semendemon
i I totally see that. um And I agree with that.
02:36:43
silkdong
but but devin But Devin actually has a Witcher tattoo, so he, like, by law, he has to and defend it.
02:36:44
semendemon
With God War.
02:36:52
silkdong
But also, at the same time, ChatGPT's list was very similar to ours, and Witcher 3 was on the list.
02:36:57
semendemon
Well, ChatGPT is only reading fucking Metacritic and spitting that out back out at you.
02:36:57
silkdong
It was, like, Witcher 3.
02:37:03
semendemon
like I don't attribute that as anything other than
02:37:08
Steve-O
Pretty sure it hasn't played those games.
02:37:10
semendemon
I'm pretty sure. I'm pretty sure it hasn't. But like...
02:37:14
silkdong
It might have. You don't know.
02:37:17
semendemon
Like Resident Evil 4 would be my list, I think. I don't know. Like, that's a big game changer for me. But that... Oh wait, you're saying 2015.
02:37:24
silkdong
Yeah, yeah, 2015 to 2025. Yeah, we're not talking all time.
02:37:26
semendemon
Never mind.
02:37:26
Steve-O
You could do remake.
02:37:27
semendemon
That's true.
02:37:28
Steve-O
You could do four remakes.
02:37:28
silkdong
Nah, I think remakes just can't count in general.
02:37:30
semendemon
But like... There are ongoing games that are still around that, you know, have a bigger impact than all five of these games that we just listened Right?
02:37:42
silkdong
Yeah.
02:37:42
semendemon
That we don't play? That are nothing to us?
02:37:45
BeyBlade
Yeah.
02:37:46
semendemon
Really?
02:37:47
silkdong
So, Devin, Witcher 3, do you think Witcher 3 had more of an impact on gaming than Breath of the Wild?
02:38:01
silkdong
Try to be subjective here, because I don't i didn't play Witcher 3, but but i also hear a lot of stuff, and you hear a lot of stuff from 2017.
02:38:03
BeyBlade
Yeah. Yeah. When did, wait, when did Breath of Wild come out? 2019, 2017. Yeah.
02:38:08
Steve-O
twenty seventeen
02:38:09
BeyBlade
twenty seventeen
02:38:09
silkdong
twenty seventeen
02:38:10
semendemon
See, I didn't play Breath the Wild, but I know it had an impact.
02:38:13
BeyBlade
Yeah, I mean, i would i would say so.
02:38:14
semendemon
It's a pretty important game.
02:38:16
BeyBlade
It's just... Because, again, if we're talking about, like, a better game, i would still say Witcher 3 because Breath of Wild is missing a very and fundamental thing for me, and that's narrative.
02:38:29
silkdong
I'm doing the blowjob motion to to to Steve.
02:38:30
BeyBlade
of That's a narrative. That's a narrative that's good.
02:38:32
silkdong
if we if we were so If we were sitting at the same table, I'd be looking at Steve and doing the blowjob motion with my mouth.
02:38:33
BeyBlade
um
02:38:36
BeyBlade
Yeah. No, I mean, that's fine. That's fine. But, I mean, in terms of, like...
02:38:43
BeyBlade
It's tough because like, because honestly, a lot of people do say, oh you were you know, Breath of the Wild, like you could see a lot of influence there.
02:38:44
silkdong
that We should be on video chat sometimes.
02:38:54
BeyBlade
You can't, right? It's just like undeniable that people are like, yeah, we want to do the Breath of the Wild thing. um But it's not so apparent, but in a lot of interviews for ah first person games, first person, open world games,
02:39:11
BeyBlade
people are going, oh yeah, yeah, we want to make like the side quest like The Witcher. We want to make like that stuff like The Witcher. Witcher gets brought up all the time in interviews.
02:39:19
silkdong
Yeah,
02:39:22
BeyBlade
um But in terms of like, and again, that's like a narrative subjective thing. It's like, well, was that as good or intricate?
02:39:27
silkdong
yeah yeah, no, and totally, yeah.
02:39:30
BeyBlade
I don't know. So I don't think it's as as one-sided as as you know it might seem at first. But I mean, I think the
02:39:38
silkdong
Because I feel like, i feel like Ghost of Tsushima had like one or two really meaningful side quests. Whereas everything I hear about The Witcher 3, it's like every side quest is like a is like a video game in itself. Like a whole whole thing in itself.
02:39:55
silkdong
Which is good.
02:39:56
BeyBlade
Yeah.
02:39:56
silkdong
And which was really refreshing to me having not played Witcher 3. It was really refreshing to play game like Red Dead Redemption 2. Where you did have all of these meaningful side quests that felt important when you played them.
02:40:09
silkdong
And were, you know, you could miss it.
02:40:11
BeyBlade
yeah
02:40:12
silkdong
You could miss a bunch of stuff in that game and not know the difference. But then if you do, but it it rewards you with really good, meaningful ah non-main story missions that, you know, I think it's really cool.
02:40:28
silkdong
I think that's great. And that was probably, i mean, I don't know how good the side quests were in GTA V, but maybe Red Dead did take a bit from The Witcher 3's overall like type of game direction when it came to the those types of things, I would say.
02:40:46
BeyBlade
yeah I mean what it's worth I can't think of it i can't think of a single side quest in GTA 5
02:40:46
silkdong
Maybe. Even though i didn't play Witcher 3. I have it. I bought it for $5. Right.
02:40:58
BeyBlade
like not a one but you know I'm i'm not saying they weren't high quality um
02:41:00
silkdong
right
02:41:07
BeyBlade
Yeah, I don't know. you know, at that point, you're getting really into the weeds with it, but it's... And just, like, GTA or, like, Red Dead is so interesting because, like, I don't think... Is Red Dead 2, like, really on anyone's, like, list on any serious level?
02:41:27
semendemon
Not on mine, no.
02:41:27
BeyBlade
Like...
02:41:27
silkdong
ah Are you fucking serious?
02:41:29
BeyBlade
I mean, no, no, I mean, like, let me...
02:41:30
silkdong
Wait, like, what do you mean?
02:41:31
BeyBlade
let me Like, on the... in the combined top five? Like, is it is it a real contender? Because it does so many of these elements, like, really well, but, like, it just...
02:41:42
silkdong
Dead 2 is on everybody's list of best game ever made. At least it's on it's on mine. It's, like, up there for one of the best experiences I've ever had playing a video game.
02:41:51
BeyBlade
Yeah.
02:41:54
BeyBlade
Yeah.
02:41:55
silkdong
And, you know, I don't know. It's on Chachi PD's list, if that's what you're asking. It's on their top five.
02:42:00
semendemon
I'm not.
02:42:00
BeyBlade
I don't...
02:42:02
Steve-O
Yes.
02:42:03
silkdong
But, like... It's really, like... And then, you know... GTA 6... Their trailer, like... Reignited the fire under Red Dead 2. And now, you know, people are talking about the console... um Upgrades that we might be getting for it.
02:42:21
silkdong
um I don't know.
02:42:24
BeyBlade
I'm going to be annoyed.
02:42:24
silkdong
In my personal experience, it is ah it is probably...
02:42:25
BeyBlade
going to be annoyed if that's true.
02:42:28
silkdong
it's like Red Dead 2, like Elden Ring, and then like Breath of the Wild, I think are like the top three of of the last 10 years, I think.
02:42:32
BeyBlade
Yeah.
02:42:39
silkdong
Like those are the top three that are just undeniable. And then, you know, you can put Witcher 3 and God War in there too. I don't care. But like, it has to be Breath of the Wild, it has to be Red Dead 2, has to be Elden Ring.
02:42:54
silkdong
And I mean, i we we argued a little bit about this too last week, but I also think Elden Ring is is undoubtedly the best game, the best game of the last 10 years.
02:43:08
Steve-O
I think it's pretty undeniable.
02:43:09
silkdong
and and And we'll probably never see a game like that ever again, i would think.
02:43:11
semendemon
Yeah.
02:43:11
Steve-O
ah
02:43:14
semendemon
No, no. It's a once in a lifetime. It's lovely.
02:43:19
silkdong
And i don't know. It's just, um and unless, you know,
02:43:23
BeyBlade
I mean, how it's not even like I disagree, but I just do find it amusing that you say that, and that's a game I literally just don't like at all. And it's like, yeah.
02:43:34
BeyBlade
And I understand it's good.
02:43:34
silkdong
I think if you really...
02:43:36
BeyBlade
I understand there's quality.
02:43:36
silkdong
yeah but like, I wasn't...
02:43:36
Steve-O
Well, that's the thing.
02:43:37
silkdong
We're
02:43:38
Steve-O
That's the thing. So like we talked about this being a topic where it was going to be everybody's own personal favorites, right?
02:43:44
semendemon
Yeah.
02:43:44
Steve-O
If we do that, then we're never going to agree. Like it's just going to be everybody's favorite.
02:43:47
semendemon
No, definitely not.
02:43:47
silkdong
going to have 15 different games.
02:43:48
BeyBlade
Yeah.
02:43:48
Steve-O
So you're just going to have four separate lists.
02:43:48
BeyBlade
Yeah.
02:43:51
silkdong
different games yeah
02:43:51
Steve-O
So that's why when we were like, okay, let's see if we can make it like the subjective list.
02:43:53
BeyBlade
Yeah.
02:43:57
Steve-O
That way it's a little bit more like, all right, well, you know, I can make a concession here because I see where it is, you know, it is important. So

02:44:53
