ThirstTrapLeon
Hello, you are listening to the all-new Anti-Fanboy Podcast for the week of March the 1st, 2026.
00:00:08
GraceAsscrack
March.
00:00:09
ThirstTrapLeon
We broke out of February. don't about you, but this one felt long. I wasn't fan of it. was a fan of the very end, but the rest of month can go kick rocks with me, kicking all these rocks. My name is Devin Kopec. With me is Steve O'Tierry.
00:00:26
Steve-O
You know what? Get rid of these rocks. Get rid of all this snow. Get rid of every weather event ever.
00:00:33
ThirstTrapLeon
tired of it. And also with me, the person who personally, he i see here, works at FromSoft and personally put the no stamp on the Bloodborne remake.
00:00:45
ThirstTrapLeon
John Suarez, good to have you here.
00:00:46
GraceAsscrack
Yep. Not doing it. Not on my watch.
00:00:48
ThirstTrapLeon
Why'd you... pretty messed up.
00:00:50
GraceAsscrack
That fucking sewer sewer sludge, sewer sludge, poo-poo developer, Bluepoint?
00:00:50
ThirstTrapLeon
Christopher... stick
00:00:56
GraceAsscrack
No thank you.
00:00:57
Steve-O
Never heard of him.
00:00:57
ThirstTrapLeon
No, thank you.
00:00:59
ThirstTrapLeon
Chris Galanti is otherwise...
00:00:59
GraceAsscrack
Yeah.
00:01:02
GraceAsscrack
Yeah, he still he doesn't have power.
00:01:03
ThirstTrapLeon
occupied.
00:01:04
GraceAsscrack
He still doesn't have power from last week.
00:01:04
ThirstTrapLeon
he still doesn't have power.
00:01:06
Steve-O
No power.
00:01:06
ThirstTrapLeon
We tried to get him, but he's like, I'm out of data. And frankly, just too scared. Just too scared playing video games.
00:01:12
Steve-O
He's too scared. He's he's like Grace in Resident Evil 9. Oh.
00:01:15
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah, he's just...
00:01:16
GraceAsscrack
who who What did I do?
00:01:16
ThirstTrapLeon
were worth only life
00:01:18
GraceAsscrack
do I do?
00:01:20
ThirstTrapLeon
You know what I said?
00:01:20
GraceAsscrack
What do I do, Leon?
00:01:20
ThirstTrapLeon
I said, stop you stuttering, you dummy.
00:01:21
GraceAsscrack
What I do, Leon?
00:01:23
Steve-O
You know, can we get a round of applause for Capcom stealing the title of most scared character back from Luigi?
00:01:30
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah, he had to.
00:01:31
GraceAsscrack
Oh, man. Yeah, is Grace the most scared character now?
00:01:34
Steve-O
I think, yeah, you know in a landslide.
00:01:36
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah, they I think rightfully so.
00:01:37
GraceAsscrack
You think in the in ah subsequent Resident Evil installments, she'll be a little bit more hardened?
00:01:39
ThirstTrapLeon
Luigi, you could say, is kind of faking it a little bit.
00:01:46
Steve-O
I think that's just the staple for this series, right? You start off super cowardly and scared.
00:01:51
ThirstTrapLeon
Scared a little? Yeah.
00:01:52
GraceAsscrack
I mean, Leon was pretty scared in Resident Evil 2, but he wasn't that scared, you know?
00:01:58
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah, yeah, she's a...
00:01:59
Steve-O
Oh, every time they flash his little chubby cheeks from Resident Evil 2 in a flashback in this game.
00:02:05
GraceAsscrack
I feel like it's a violation for the FBI to just send her to fucking deal with her past.
00:02:10
ThirstTrapLeon
by herself, no backup.
00:02:11
Steve-O
Oh, it's really fucked up.
Resident Evil 9 Character Discussions
00:02:13
Steve-O
ah We're to be talking about Resident Evil 9 a lot in this, as you can tell. Resident Evil Requiem came out. um <unk> We're probably going to be spoiling a bunch.
00:02:21
Steve-O
We'll try our best not to, but yeah, we're just going this.
00:02:23
ThirstTrapLeon
You know, we'll probably end on that, right?
00:02:24
GraceAsscrack
No, no, Spoiler.
00:02:24
ThirstTrapLeon
We'll well well we'll we'll talk about the normal stuff and then you know we'll let you know and then...
00:02:25
GraceAsscrack
Spoiler. No, we're going to spoil it.
00:02:31
Steve-O
Somebody will pull the spoiler rip cord to let you know when you can leave.
00:02:35
ThirstTrapLeon
yeah All I'm saying is ah some of us
00:02:39
GraceAsscrack
Sam tried faking me out.
00:02:40
ThirstTrapLeon
Haven't found time.
00:02:42
GraceAsscrack
I was at work on Friday and she was like, I was yeah, I'm like blacked out. on the internet, like, I'm trying to avoid spoilers. She's like, yeah, I heard that you, uh, I heard that Leon dies and that you play as Kate.
00:02:54
GraceAsscrack
And I'm like, okay. I was like, Kate. I was like, she's like, yeah, I don't know. She's like, I was just trying to, i was trying to fuck with you.
00:03:01
Steve-O
ah
00:03:01
ThirstTrapLeon
Wow. Wow.
00:03:02
GraceAsscrack
I was like, yeah, it's pretty obvious. There is no character named Kate re in Resident Evil.
00:03:05
Steve-O
The game was there, though. The attempt was made.
00:03:07
ThirstTrapLeon
You know what? I appreciate that you took the swing.
00:03:08
GraceAsscrack
Nice try.
00:03:09
Steve-O
right
00:03:10
ThirstTrapLeon
yeah
00:03:10
GraceAsscrack
i was like, nice try. Nice shot.
00:03:13
ThirstTrapLeon
You fool.
00:03:14
GraceAsscrack
But clearly missed the mark.
00:03:16
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah. Good for her, though. You know, I appreciate it.
00:03:21
GraceAsscrack
Joel dies and you play as Abby. So.
00:03:23
Steve-O
oh That doesn't sound believable. That doesn't sound believable.
00:03:26
ThirstTrapLeon
That's like when an old friend of ours oh an old friend of ours tried to spoil that Harry Potter book for me, but then got the order wrong.
00:03:35
Steve-O
Oh, didn't even know.
00:03:35
GraceAsscrack
Oh, man. Oh, really?
00:03:38
ThirstTrapLeon
She was like, she was like, Dumbledore kills Snape. And I was like, what?
Spoiler Stories and Reactions
00:03:42
ThirstTrapLeon
And then, you know, she thought she was being funny. I was like, hey, like, not to be that guy, but like, I am excited for this book and you just fucking tried to ruin it for me. And then I read it and then I called her. I was like you're fucking idiot. You know that? said, what do you mean? I was like, you didn't even get the order right.
00:04:00
GraceAsscrack
Wait, but she was really trying to spoil it for you?
00:04:01
ThirstTrapLeon
She literally called.
00:04:02
GraceAsscrack
Legit?
00:04:02
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah, because because remember, remember the um the craze where like people were like driving out like outside of Barnes and Nobles and screaming what happens.
00:04:07
GraceAsscrack
Yeah. a So fucked up.
00:04:12
ThirstTrapLeon
She called me and left me a voicemail. And I was like, what?
00:04:15
GraceAsscrack
Well, all you have to say to her is that she that you know Harry Potter kids don't deserve to live or whatever people say on our Discord.
00:04:22
ThirstTrapLeon
yeah
00:04:24
GraceAsscrack
So, you know, Harry Potter fans don't deserve to live or whatever.
00:04:27
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah, well, as the I guess he was right in hindsight.
00:04:29
GraceAsscrack
So you know what, Devin? She, in hindsight, she was right. She was right.
00:04:33
ThirstTrapLeon
God, sorry. You know...
00:04:35
Steve-O
I mean, i'm still I'm still reeling from Game of Thrones. When i just did a little quick, like, oh, we were podcasting that night, and I did a little quick Facebook check.
00:04:40
GraceAsscrack
Oh, yeah.
00:04:45
GraceAsscrack
Oh, yeah.
00:04:46
Steve-O
First thing that popped up, long live the king.
00:04:46
GraceAsscrack
I was mad. i was mad about that, too. Same person. Yeah. I was pretty pissed. pretty Pretty pissed about that.
00:04:52
ThirstTrapLeon
that's That's pretty upsetting.
00:04:54
GraceAsscrack
He's like, that wasn't a spoiler. I'm like, dude.
00:04:57
Steve-O
Come on.
00:04:58
GraceAsscrack
It's a pretty fucking blatant spoiler to just post.
00:04:58
Steve-O
Come on. I think it was like attached with an image.
00:05:02
ThirstTrapLeon
What do you mean?
00:05:05
Steve-O
Like, I think there was an image too.
00:05:07
ThirstTrapLeon
It's regardless. It's like, hey, this thing's in the zeitgeist. We all know what we're doing Sunday nights. And then you fucking post something like that. It's like, oh, I wonder what you could be referencing.
00:05:19
GraceAsscrack
Yeah.
00:05:19
ThirstTrapLeon
You fucking goon.
00:05:20
GraceAsscrack
Seriously.
00:05:21
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah, I get it. You read the books. So did I. Okay.
00:05:24
GraceAsscrack
Yeah.
00:05:25
Steve-O
no they didn't read the books.
00:05:25
GraceAsscrack
Yeah.
00:05:26
Steve-O
They just flipped to the page. They just went. put a little bit bit of little It was like when, uh, with star Wars,
00:05:30
GraceAsscrack
That'd be like us telling everyone that Glenn dies like in the first season of Walking Dead just to be dicks about it.
00:05:35
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah.
00:05:37
GraceAsscrack
you know because he read all That guy read all the books.
00:05:39
Steve-O
We're doing... Yeah.
00:05:41
GraceAsscrack
I didn't spoil it, so you our you already know.
00:05:41
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah. I mean, I write all the books too at that point, I think.
00:05:45
Steve-O
We did... You know what?
00:05:45
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah.
00:05:46
Steve-O
We were so good at telling not telling people that Joel died with the ah Last of Us show.
00:05:46
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah.
00:05:52
GraceAsscrack
I know, right?
00:05:52
ThirstTrapLeon
Exactly.
00:05:53
GraceAsscrack
I know, right? So good.
00:05:55
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah. You know why? Because I want to feel smug.
00:05:58
Steve-O
We want to watch the people as they have their world unravel.
00:05:58
ThirstTrapLeon
I do.
00:05:58
GraceAsscrack
Yeah.
00:05:58
ThirstTrapLeon
I'm selfish.
Emotional Moments in Movies
00:06:02
GraceAsscrack
Yeah, that was like one of the best parts about watching that show, is just seeing Sam fucking suffer.
00:06:02
ThirstTrapLeon
Huh.
00:06:07
GraceAsscrack
Suffer actual trauma.
00:06:08
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah.
00:06:10
GraceAsscrack
But like...
00:06:10
ThirstTrapLeon
Dude, I mean... I've told that story a few times. But it was like when I showed Jenny ah the fucking... That Pixar movie about the emotions.
00:06:20
ThirstTrapLeon
What hell was that called?
00:06:21
Steve-O
Oh, Inside Out.
00:06:22
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah, and I showed her. and I was like, this will be funny. She'll be really upset.
00:06:26
GraceAsscrack
ah The bing bong stuff?
00:06:26
ThirstTrapLeon
And she got so upset. Yeah, she got so upset, I started getting upset. i was like, oh, ah that didn't feel good at all.
00:06:33
GraceAsscrack
Yeah. No.
00:06:34
Steve-O
Oh, so it...
00:06:35
ThirstTrapLeon
I thought it was going to be funny.
00:06:35
GraceAsscrack
That Bing Bong scene is pretty tough.
00:06:37
Steve-O
Yeah, that's a rough one.
00:06:37
ThirstTrapLeon
Now that it got, it was, it was harder the second time. I don't know why he just hit a little bit harder. And I was like, Ooh, I feel like a bad person. i am a bad person.
00:06:38
GraceAsscrack
That Bing Bong scene is tough.
00:06:48
ThirstTrapLeon
I miss big mom. And then.
00:06:50
Steve-O
Oh, Big Monk!
00:06:51
ThirstTrapLeon
yeah, yeah. So.
00:06:55
ThirstTrapLeon
but ah yeah yeah so We did some
Resident Evil Requiem and Other Game Discussions
00:06:59
ThirstTrapLeon
things. February happened, like like Steve mentioned. Resident Evil Requiem came out.
00:07:07
ThirstTrapLeon
Sounds like we all successfully no-lifed it, and we will talk about that a little bit later.
00:07:10
GraceAsscrack
Requiem. Requiem.
00:07:13
ThirstTrapLeon
But ah I just wanted to... I feel like... of feel like this is a fair don't even want to say critique but i i think this is a fair statement to make steve you're not really uh aggressive with the consuming of product as somebody like chris or i i think when it comes to like movies and tv and yeah it's it's it's it slowed down it slowed down a bit you know and uh
00:07:35
Steve-O
Yeah, yeah. I think my um my immediate movie pursual slowed down.
00:07:43
ThirstTrapLeon
you know I think it was like two days later after we last recorded, you sent me a text. It was like, you were a fucking kid about that Night of the Seven Kingdoms. And I was like, oh, man.
00:07:53
Steve-O
Oh, yeah.
00:07:55
ThirstTrapLeon
So you you you i mean you know Lifestyle, dude.
00:07:55
Steve-O
Oh, yeah.
00:07:57
GraceAsscrack
Are you no-lifed it?
00:07:58
Steve-O
Yeah. After our podcast last week, I had just...
00:08:00
GraceAsscrack
Sheesh.
00:08:01
ThirstTrapLeon
Because that was the final episode. So we recorded before the final episode came out. I watched it. Big fan. I definitely think they... I would say stuck the landing in terms of like interest and quality.
00:08:13
ThirstTrapLeon
And I was like, hell yeah. Great fucking show. And then you had just kind of devoured the whole thing in like a day or two, I guess.
00:08:20
Steve-O
It was easy to consume. There's only six episodes.
00:08:22
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah. Only six.
00:08:23
Steve-O
They're about like 30 to 40 minutes long each.
00:08:23
ThirstTrapLeon
that move
00:08:26
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah.
00:08:26
Steve-O
And holy smokes, like...
00:08:30
ThirstTrapLeon
Right.
00:08:30
Steve-O
I think, I think Game of Thrones, the main series burned me so bad in those final few seasons that my, my Game of Thrones interest had just completely been abandoned.
00:08:42
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah, that's totally fair.
00:08:42
Steve-O
But with how, like I had no interest in House of Dragons.
00:08:48
ThirstTrapLeon
yeah
00:08:48
Steve-O
And the only thing that like gave me like a little bit of an inkling was in the past. I I'd heard Chris talking about how much he enjoyed the Duncan egg stories and
00:08:58
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah. Yeah, yeah, he was a big fan. He was a he was an original fan.
00:09:03
Steve-O
Oh, yeah, he was an OG.
00:09:03
ThirstTrapLeon
He was a real one, you know?
00:09:05
Steve-O
And I like, you know, I was like, oh, nine of seven kingdoms, blah, blah, it's going to be just more spinoff garbage. And you both were like, no, this is this is the Dunkin' Egg story that we love so much.
00:09:14
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah.
00:09:18
Steve-O
And this is it done to like a perfect degree. There's like so much like enjoyment and heart and character that it's just it's Game of Thrones on a much smaller scale.
00:09:32
Steve-O
But it makes you like really, really get to appreciate just everything more because you're not constantly jumping like to houses and perspectives and stuff like that. You're basically in one locked perspective with um with Dunk.
00:09:51
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah.
00:09:51
Steve-O
And like I can recommend this show to everyone. It is phenomenal.
00:09:59
ThirstTrapLeon
Boom. There it is. I mean, John, I think this could be the one.
00:10:04
GraceAsscrack
I know, yeah, I gotta get on.
00:10:05
ThirstTrapLeon
This could be in the one.
00:10:06
GraceAsscrack
if There's only, what, there's seven episodes?
00:10:07
Steve-O
six episodes. It's, it's like, they're like 30, 40 minutes each.
00:10:08
ThirstTrapLeon
Six episodes...
00:10:08
GraceAsscrack
Six episodes?
00:10:14
ThirstTrapLeon
Cursory knowledge. That's pretty much all you know. what It was so good that I get from I was I just got mad at George R. R. Martin all over again because. i am fully willing to write that guy off.
00:10:26
Steve-O
Yeah.
00:10:27
ThirstTrapLeon
Like, you know, dude, you can't even be bothered to finish something, but it's like all of his shit is so good. though And granted, like his adaptations are great.
00:10:36
Steve-O
It's,
00:10:38
Steve-O
He
00:10:38
ThirstTrapLeon
They're all really good. And then they tend to fall off a cliff a little bit. And it's like irritatingly because they ran out of his own stuff or they deviate from his work.
00:10:45
Steve-O
m
00:10:49
ThirstTrapLeon
But it's just he's such a frustrating dude because he's like, yeah, I'll get to it. And then just lies to himself and fans.
00:10:56
Steve-O
no
00:10:56
ThirstTrapLeon
and And then, you know, i was like, fuck that guy. Fuck that guy and everything he stands for.
00:11:00
Steve-O
ah
00:11:01
ThirstTrapLeon
And then I give the show as i give this show ah a shot.
00:11:01
Steve-O
he just keeps making you angry all over again.
00:11:05
ThirstTrapLeon
And I was like, god damn it. And it's and it's it's... I don't want to say one-to-one, right? i'm not I didn't read the stories, but... my understanding is it's quite, you know, accurate.
00:11:16
ThirstTrapLeon
And I was like, God damn it.
00:11:17
Steve-O
yeah he's talented shit
00:11:18
ThirstTrapLeon
This fucking guy really knows how to how to tell a story. Fucking talented asshole who just doesn't want to finish his his own work.
00:11:27
Steve-O
it's 100 like it's 100% as you both described Rocky Balboa like in Westeros oh my god
00:11:35
ThirstTrapLeon
can Can you allude to a favorite moment?
00:11:42
Steve-O
There's a few favorite moments.
00:11:43
ThirstTrapLeon
Okay. I
00:11:44
Steve-O
um
00:11:47
Steve-O
I think I need to think about it.
00:11:47
ThirstTrapLeon
i can. i can It was. yeah All right. Well, mine is like when you get the. It's the end of the episode.
00:12:00
ThirstTrapLeon
Where like right before the the the fight, the big fight, like with the musical swell.
00:12:03
Steve-O
Okay. Yeah. Mm-hmm.
00:12:06
ThirstTrapLeon
And like, that's my, I was like, yeah, ah I was fist pumping as Jenny was passed out on the couch. And I was like, fucking, yeah, bleh.
00:12:13
Steve-O
but Okay.
00:12:15
ThirstTrapLeon
Because, you know, they tease it. They tease it early.
00:12:17
Steve-O
m
00:12:18
ThirstTrapLeon
And then it's kind of played for laughs. Just fine, you know.
00:12:21
Steve-O
Yeah, that was a good one.
00:12:22
ThirstTrapLeon
But the payoff, the payoff in that moment is so good.
00:12:27
Steve-O
Yes.
00:12:28
ThirstTrapLeon
Also, have you guys seen, there's a video. Because he, ah the the actor, Peter Claffy or Claffy, I can't. ah Who plays Duncan
00:12:41
ThirstTrapLeon
in Stranger Things?
00:12:43

00:12:43
Steve-O
Stranger things.
00:12:52
Steve-O
Okay.
00:12:52
ThirstTrapLeon
Former rugby player. And there's an old interview there's an old interview that has kind of come up
00:12:55
Steve-O
I can see it. Oh.
00:12:59
ThirstTrapLeon
Where he's like, I don't know what the the concept is, but he's just like, oh, I do a pretty good family guy impression of the baby. And then he nails Stewie impression.
00:13:09
Steve-O
oh
00:13:11
ThirstTrapLeon
It's like, Lois.
00:13:12
Steve-O
I have not. i kind of want to see this. I really do.
00:13:15
ThirstTrapLeon
It's really good. Hold on
00:13:17
Steve-O
I saw the video um where he and the actor who played Egg were like, they were talking about how they like hung out together and they went to like a hockey game and such.
00:13:18
GraceAsscrack
Amen.
00:13:25
ThirstTrapLeon
on. Dexter.
00:13:28
ThirstTrapLeon
yeah
00:13:30
Steve-O
Like I was like, that's, what that's a good way to like, kind of like build like just like a natural repertoire between two actors. And it, it felt real like authentic between the two of them.
00:13:36

Steve-O
Going in the Hanging Hog Hall of Fame, too.
00:16:28
Steve-O
Oh dear.
00:16:28
ThirstTrapLeon
I'm going to go to theater and watch Scream 7. I got to get some use out of that popcorn pass.
00:16:34
Steve-O
Yeah, did you get the popcorn at least?
00:16:36
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah, dude. Are you kidding I got that popcorn pass.
00:16:39
Steve-O
What if they were like roll out?
00:16:41
ThirstTrapLeon
I believe we had ah we had a little bit of a a little bit of snafu.
00:16:47
GraceAsscrack
you
00:16:48
ThirstTrapLeon
at the at the theater. um First thing, ticket machine ate my card. like Not my my card, but like my my ticket.
00:16:55
Steve-O
Oh.
00:16:57
ThirstTrapLeon
It like just gobbled it up and didn't give it to me. So to explain to the guy, like I'm a serial killer. It ate my ticket. It has it. I just need you to open it. yeah was it Here's the thing.
00:17:08
ThirstTrapLeon
um It was a pretty packed show. It was kind of a a later in the day decision. So I go
00:17:13
Steve-O
Mm-hmm.
00:17:15
ThirstTrapLeon
Only the front row is available. And by the way, I am making it.
00:17:18
Steve-O
Oh.
00:17:20
ThirstTrapLeon
I am making it my job. i'm going to rehabilitate the front row Joes. Okay. It's undervalued an undervalued seat in the theater. It's really not that bad. The seats are far enough from the, from the front.
00:17:34
ThirstTrapLeon
that It's not the worst thing in the world. But the point is, is that was the only available seat. Right.
00:17:39
Steve-O
Mm-hmm.
00:17:40
ThirstTrapLeon
And I say, you know, I'm on this this this mission, this quest to rehabilitate the front row. I'll gladly take that spot. Anyway, the point of this is I'm explaining to the the ticket guy what happened.
00:17:52
ThirstTrapLeon
This group of like eight people walk in. And they're like, oh, we want to see Scream 7. And the woman's like, hey, just so you know, like it's pre-packed. It's almost sold out. Only the front row is available. They're like, ah, damn. OK, sure. Why not?
00:18:07
ThirstTrapLeon
So I'm like, oh, it's going lively front row.
00:18:08
GraceAsscrack
God damn.
00:18:10
ThirstTrapLeon
I go in. I get there before they do whatever. Somebody's in my seat. And I was like, but again, there was a lot of empty spots.
00:18:18
GraceAsscrack
Oh, man.
00:18:21
ThirstTrapLeon
And I was like, you know what? Whatever. Like it was it was like the dual seats. Right. With the little separator.
00:18:27
Steve-O
OK.
00:18:27
ThirstTrapLeon
And this guy had it. this He's a big boy. He was just sitting there and his popcorn was in technically my seat. Instead of sitting uncomfortably close to to this gentleman, I just sit in an empty seat right next to Right. I was 10. I sat in 11.
00:18:41
ThirstTrapLeon
No big deal. Then that big group of fucking people come in. But they were late enough in like the movie was going on for about 10 minutes.
00:18:51
Steve-O
ah okay
00:18:51
ThirstTrapLeon
so like they didn't want to make a scene, but I was definitely in one of their seats. And there was another space of somebody was just kind of filled in or whatever. But then this dad, this disgruntled dad, sat next to me in my chair.
00:19:07
ThirstTrapLeon
And at this point, the arm separator was up because I was doing what the other guy was doing. and my popcorn there. So I pick up my bucket, and then this guy's just grumbling next to me with no separation.
Theater Experiences and Movie Discussions
00:19:18
ThirstTrapLeon
Like, our hands could have touched if I was...
00:19:20
Steve-O
Oh, you didn't even put it down.
00:19:21
ThirstTrapLeon
No, because at that point I was like, what do do here?
00:19:22
GraceAsscrack
Damn.
00:19:24
Steve-O
You put it down. That's your job.
00:19:27
ThirstTrapLeon
No, it's his job, dude.
00:19:27
Steve-O
Or his job.
00:19:28
ThirstTrapLeon
He can't believe.
00:19:28
Steve-O
It's one of your jobs.
00:19:29
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah.
00:19:29
Steve-O
Are you afraid that you would have both gone for it at the same time and touched hands?
00:19:32
ThirstTrapLeon
Listen, i yes. Or I was sexually, it was too sexually charged at that point. um The reason I'm telling this story about sitting in the theater is because that is far more interesting than the movie itself.
00:19:46
ThirstTrapLeon
The movie is, it's pretty, it's pretty terrible.
00:19:46
Steve-O
Hmm.
00:19:49
ThirstTrapLeon
But the upside to this The very important an upside is I got to experience a rarity and that's a full theater. And regardless of how bad the movie is, a full theater, especially with a horror movie, it's pretty cool experience.
00:19:58
GraceAsscrack
wow people still gonna get it that's what James Cameron was saying man he's like I don't I don't make movies I don't make movies for awards he said
00:20:07
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah. I've never seen a bad. Yeah. I don't make movies for living rooms.
00:20:13
Steve-O
It makes movies for auditoriums.
00:20:14
ThirstTrapLeon
I make movies for fucking packed houses, dude. And he's right. Like, dude, I've never seen a movie so bad. Get three separate applause breaks.
00:20:22
GraceAsscrack
that's weird if so it wasn't good
00:20:22
ThirstTrapLeon
It's crazy. like the Right? But it's just like cool moment happens. Dude, it was really bad. Like, I think, yeah, yeah.
00:20:31
GraceAsscrack
Like super bad. Like horrible. Horrible.
00:20:34
ThirstTrapLeon
It's it's just like, maybe not that.
00:20:34
GraceAsscrack
Like one of the worst movies you've ever seen.
00:20:38
Steve-O
One of the rich movies worst movies you've seen recent times.
00:20:41
ThirstTrapLeon
Yes, yes. Definitely recently. Worse than
00:20:43
Steve-O
Better or worse than Five Nights at Freddy's?
00:20:46
ThirstTrapLeon
It's going to take, I didn't walk out.
00:20:47
GraceAsscrack
Sheesh.
00:20:48
ThirstTrapLeon
I didn't walk out of a of that. So I'd say five nights is takes the cake, but it's just like, like ah not to get into the the weeds here, but like scream seven is not the original idea for scream seven.
00:20:53
Steve-O
Okay, still looking. king
00:21:03
ThirstTrapLeon
don't know if you guys remember, but that whole conflict with Hamas and Israel and all that kicked off a bunch shit storm.
00:21:04
Steve-O
Mm.
00:21:12
ThirstTrapLeon
One of the main actresses from screen five and six, Tweeted about it, made a comment. Everybody, you know, got some hot water. And then Jenna Ortega left and then the original writer director team had left. So it was just kind of like.
00:21:27
ThirstTrapLeon
I don't know, the guys who were fucking making Scream 4 and 3 and the bad Scream movies, essentially, essentially, they were like, oh, let's just throw this movie together.
00:21:38
ThirstTrapLeon
um And it's just there's like a shadow of a good idea here, but It just really feels like it was made and directed by like old men.
00:21:47
Steve-O
Yeah, like, i I kind of, like, lost my interest after they fired Jenna Ortega for, not Jenna Ortega, ah
00:21:57
ThirstTrapLeon
The other actress who's...
00:21:58
Steve-O
the other actress for for just making, like, pro-Palestinian comments and, like,
00:22:02
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah. And like, I mean, granted, right. This is like right after. So it's like the timing. Not great. Melissa Barrera. Not great timing, but it's it's it's aged fairly well, I guess we could argue if if we you know, if you want to be gross about that.
00:22:18
ThirstTrapLeon
um It's not really something that's like, wow, that was really worth bombing this woman's career over. Like, frankly. Um, so whatever, but right.
00:22:28
ThirstTrapLeon
But like, as a result, a lot of the cast had just kind of dipped out and you feel the absence, especially with like the, the whole meta story that's being told they were going somewhere with it and they just, everything gets abandoned for just a bad movie, frankly.
00:22:40
Steve-O
Right.
00:22:47
Steve-O
The point of the new line was supposed to be this like, you know, we're we're doing the reboot meta commentaries. So.
00:22:54
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah, and like listen, I don't think Scream 6 is great by any stretch, but compared to 7, it's a fucking masterpiece.
00:22:58
Steve-O
Yeah.
00:23:01
ThirstTrapLeon
But yeah, it's it's really it's really bad.
00:23:02
Steve-O
That's shocking. That's.
00:23:05
ThirstTrapLeon
I'm not going to um Anyway, so I saw that. Not good. And listen, so I'd say that's a kill, right?
00:23:13
Steve-O
Kill John scale.
00:23:13
ThirstTrapLeon
We have a masterpiece. We have a kill.
00:23:15
GraceAsscrack
Mm.
00:23:16
ThirstTrapLeon
But listen, man, I hate to say it, but the middle exists, guys.
00:23:19
GraceAsscrack
Super kill.
00:23:21
ThirstTrapLeon
The middle exists. And i watched, I watched a Jack Ryan movie a few weeks ago, maybe a month or so ago. Hunt for the Red October. And I was like, I'm fucking vibing with a Jack Ryan fella.
00:23:36
ThirstTrapLeon
I went on a hunt for more Jack Ryan things. And I watched the Ben Affleck led The Sum of All Fears.
00:23:39
Steve-O
for a hunt.
00:23:44
Steve-O
I saw that in theaters with Chris Galani when it came out.
00:23:44
GraceAsscrack
Mm.
00:23:47
ThirstTrapLeon
What did you think?
00:23:49
Steve-O
ah
00:23:50
ThirstTrapLeon
Tell me all your memories.
00:23:50
GraceAsscrack
That's not terrible, right?
00:23:52
ThirstTrapLeon
Not terrible.
00:23:53
Steve-O
It's not terrible, but that movie was that movie was probably the first... um I would describe it as like almost like a um political thriller.
00:24:03
ThirstTrapLeon
2002. Yes, it was.
00:24:05
Steve-O
That was like one of the first right after So...
00:24:08
ThirstTrapLeon
yes there was
00:24:08
Steve-O
so I imagine a lot of that event is kind of like was in my mind at the time. So I just, I remember like being like, that was fine.
00:24:21
Steve-O
What was, what were your thoughts on it now?
00:24:22
ThirstTrapLeon
You know, it's not exactly fine. Totally fine. There's a little bit. I don't want to say it's like aggressively rah-rah because one, it's kind of already built in because it's a fucking John Clancy book.
00:24:34
Steve-O
Right.
00:24:34
ThirstTrapLeon
But also, yeah, yeah.
00:24:35
Steve-O
Tom Clancy.
00:24:36
ThirstTrapLeon
But also it's, um you know, I don't think it was in time for all that, you know, by the time this movie had come out versus the events.
00:24:42
Steve-O
Yeah. Mm-hmm.
00:24:44
ThirstTrapLeon
But um man, it's a... It's weird because I'm watching this and I'm like, I could see why nobody this 2000, the early 2000s were was like people were kind of getting sick of this type of movie in in the sense of like political thrillers.
00:25:02
Steve-O
yeah
00:25:03
ThirstTrapLeon
Like nothing, oh nothing, not a lot of action happens right outside of the one big thing where the nuke goes off.
00:25:11
Steve-O
o
00:25:11
ThirstTrapLeon
But ah listen, yeah, like I said, kind of right in the middle. and Which then, of course, led me to Googling Jack Ryan novels. And then, did you know that that guy ends up being the President of the United States?
00:25:28
Steve-O
Does he really?
00:25:29
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah, dude, there's 15 books. ah Yeah, he he goes from data analyst to the President of the United States. cause cause Like, listen, I get it, right?
00:25:38
Steve-O
Goddamn. Good for you, Jack Ryan.
00:25:41
ThirstTrapLeon
They're they're loosely, loosely connected, if at all.
00:25:41
Steve-O
Hmm.
00:25:45
ThirstTrapLeon
It's been rebooted to hell, right? this jack ryan Ben Affleck, Jack Ryan is not ah fucking Baldwin, Jack Ryan, who's not fucking Harrison Ford, Jack Ryan.
00:25:56
ThirstTrapLeon
Like, you know, he meets a new woman.
00:25:56
Steve-O
Hmm.
00:25:58
ThirstTrapLeon
That's his wife in every fucking movie. I get it. But I don't know, man. It's just... ah It's just a weirdly fascinating movie collection of movies that I just never really spent that much time in. So eventually I will watch the Harrison Ford ones.
00:26:14
Steve-O
Yeah, that's...
00:26:14
ThirstTrapLeon
i
00:26:15
Steve-O
What is that?
00:26:15
ThirstTrapLeon
If I'm Patriot Games in Clear and Present Danger, which I think ah i think is um oddly the...
00:26:15
Steve-O
Patriot Games? Is that one of them? Okay. Yeah.
00:26:26
ThirstTrapLeon
What is it? I think one of them is like the bad one. like Like the first one, the first Harrison Ford one is like a bad one.
00:26:31
Steve-O
Maybe.
00:26:34
ThirstTrapLeon
And then the sequel is like much better. Yeah,
00:26:37
Steve-O
I think it might be Patriot Games is the bad one, and then Clear and Present Danger is the good one.
00:26:39
ThirstTrapLeon
yeah yeah. And I think Clear and Present Danger is like liked much more. And then, you know, and then a who knows? Maybe I'll just be that guy that just watches political thrillers moving forward. I'm hitting that age, guys.
00:26:56
Steve-O
It's um so like those, those movie movie series, I think like they had legs and then I think they did the born identity and that came out 2002, the same year as that.
00:26:57
ThirstTrapLeon
We're just going to into it.
00:27:06
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's because it's that, but what if it was cool?
00:27:10
Steve-O
And I, what if he beat someone with a fucking phone book and you're like, Oh shit.
00:27:15
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah.
00:27:17
Steve-O
Okay.
00:27:17
ThirstTrapLeon
Cause Jack, Jack Ryan's whole thing is like, he could handle on himself, but he had that bad back, he that back injury and he's just, that's why he's
00:27:24
Steve-O
got that back.
Anime and Casting Speculations
00:27:27
ThirstTrapLeon
a desk guy, but you know, he's always getting up to something, but, uh,
00:27:33
ThirstTrapLeon
don't know, man. It was weirdly not that bad. um And I actually, I'm going to take a moment. I'm going ask for John and Steve's support here. I'm going to tell you this right now.
00:27:50
ThirstTrapLeon
My stance on not watching One Piece is starting to waver.
00:27:56
Steve-O
Are you talking about the live action or just the animated?
00:27:57
ThirstTrapLeon
No, no. The anime. I'm like... just This podcast I listen to every week, this guy, he got into it. And every week he does a check-in and it always sounds really good.
00:28:10
ThirstTrapLeon
They're like, what episode? He's like, I'm on episode 390. He's like, but it's so good. And I'm like, oh I'm okay. you know like I feel like i'm ah I'm an addict and they're just putting drugs in front of me.
00:28:21
Steve-O
I am more okay with you getting into One Piece than when you got into Naruto and Verudo.
00:28:26
ThirstTrapLeon
but I didn't get into Boruto yet.
00:28:29
Steve-O
Yet. That's the thing, though. That's the threat. of The looming threat.
00:28:33
ThirstTrapLeon
So because like, OK, I'll be honest. I started to rationalize it because, ah you know, because like my thing is that I always talk about is I try not to watch anime that's not done because eventually I catch up and then I just lose track of it all.
00:28:38
Steve-O
Hmm?
00:28:42
Steve-O
Hmm?
00:28:47
ThirstTrapLeon
But it's like, would I ever catch up to One Piece by the time? Like, who knows? It could just be this weird evergreen show. Then I just, you know, watch 10 or 12 episodes once every few weeks. You know, I just spend a night or two just digging in and then i I give it a break and then I just jump in. And I'm like, maybe that's what it could be for me.
00:29:11
ThirstTrapLeon
But I also know, like, I'm just rationalizing a poor decision in my life.
00:29:14
Steve-O
It might consume you. It might become your venom.
00:29:16
ThirstTrapLeon
Or, oh my God, could you imagine if I became a one-piece guy?
00:29:22
Steve-O
We are straw hats.
00:29:23
ThirstTrapLeon
Like, am I, would I be a fraud if I, if I just said, guys, I don't know, like just to my own sensibilities.
00:29:28
Steve-O
Why would you be a fraud?
00:29:32
Steve-O
the Are you afraid to look at the mirror and be like, oh, no.
00:29:34
ThirstTrapLeon
Like, like what, what I hate myself, like what Devin a year and a half ago be like, you're a fucking sellout, dude.
00:29:40
Steve-O
why Why would One Piece make you a sellout when you've watched Naruto, Dragon Ball z
00:29:43
ThirstTrapLeon
Cause I've always said, cause one piece is like, it's like, it's yeah, but that ended, you know?
00:29:49
Steve-O
My Hero Academia? is it Is it like you need one of the animes to be like your, oh, well, I've never gone that far.
00:29:58
ThirstTrapLeon
Maybe, maybe it's that. I think, I think that moment for me at this point would be if I watched one of those animes, that's like in translation, it's like a full human American sentence.
00:30:04
Steve-O
Hmm.
00:30:11
ThirstTrapLeon
You know what I mean? Where it's like, like there's those animes that are literally titled like the day I woke up and died and fell into an isekai and my girlfriend's a game boy.
00:30:12
Steve-O
Wait, what?
00:30:17
Steve-O
Oh. Yeah.
00:30:21
ThirstTrapLeon
Like, like that's the, the I think that's,
00:30:21
Steve-O
I have seen those.
00:30:25
ThirstTrapLeon
That's the you need to go into rehab moment.
00:30:29
Steve-O
That's the line. That's the moment you've...
00:30:30
ThirstTrapLeon
If I'm watching the ones that are full of American sentences.
00:30:33
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah, guys.
00:30:33
Steve-O
I mean, that's...
00:30:35
Steve-O
That's just the modern version of the scholastic books that they used to sell to us back in the day where it's like, my gym teacher was an alien from the planet Zotar.
00:30:42
ThirstTrapLeon
guess.
00:30:45
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah, but that was cool, right? dude Steve, don't say that because then I'll rationalize that shit.
00:30:48
GraceAsscrack
Thank
00:30:52
ThirstTrapLeon
It's just the same as like a Miss Frizzle.
00:30:52
Steve-O
Dude. the That is the problem, too, is you'll start realizing a lot of the things you already like are quote unquote isekis.
00:30:55
ThirstTrapLeon
What's the difference?
00:31:02
ThirstTrapLeon
No, trust me. um I'm sadly aware. and I'm like, no, it's pretty.
00:31:06
Steve-O
I'm sadly aware.
00:31:07
ThirstTrapLeon
I'm depressingly aware.
00:31:09
Steve-O
Mortal Kombat's in Isekai.
00:31:09
ThirstTrapLeon
All right, guys.
00:31:10
Steve-O
There
00:31:11
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah, it's a good one, too. Fucking Johnny Cage.
00:31:14
Steve-O
you
00:31:15
ThirstTrapLeon
Well, sort of.
00:31:17
Steve-O
Well, I'm talking about the the line where they sent the wrong Liu Kang to the i think that the the dead the evil dimension or the the evil universe.
00:31:24
ThirstTrapLeon
The outer world or nether realm, outer realm and nether realm.
00:31:26
Steve-O
Whatever. It was something like that. Yeah. Yeah.
00:31:31
ThirstTrapLeon
Anyway, anyway, so I'm, I've been struggling, struggling internally with that, but, uh,
00:31:37
Steve-O
I don't have a problem with one piece. I think if you were to show me one piece and show me Naruto, I'd be like, Oh, one piece seems more fun.
00:31:44
ThirstTrapLeon
Steve, uh,
00:31:45
Steve-O
That seems sillier, more fun. I saw people have been demanding for Adam Sandler to be cast in the one piece live action on Netflix.
00:31:53
ThirstTrapLeon
Oh, yeah, there's apparently there's a character that looks just like him. Or something. I don't really.
00:32:00
Steve-O
Demanding Waldo threw a knife at a door.
00:32:01
ThirstTrapLeon
Well.
00:32:04
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah, I'm sorry. That was gross. um
00:32:06
Steve-O
What are y'all just burping?
00:32:08
ThirstTrapLeon
two
00:32:08
GraceAsscrack
Yeah, dude, I like crushed the Coke Zero earlier before I right like Godzilla laser blasted you guys.
00:32:15
Steve-O
That was a good one too. You took us back a little bit.
00:32:19
ThirstTrapLeon
yeah
00:32:19
Steve-O
Hmm.
00:32:21
ThirstTrapLeon
You know, I would say I have that excuse. The only excuse I have is I'm a little wild on the soda machine at the at the movie theater today.
00:32:28
GraceAsscrack
Thank
00:32:30
Steve-O
Hmm.
00:32:30
ThirstTrapLeon
I was like, what if we used cream Coke, vanilla Coke, and cherry Coke with a splash of regular Coke mixed in? And then I was belching the entire movie next to my random date. Um...
00:32:45
Steve-O
Do you try and hold it back or do you just like open it up for, for everybody?
00:32:49
ThirstTrapLeon
um If I'm with Chris, I open it up. there's that There's a very famous story where... and think we were watching The Conjuring.
00:33:00
ThirstTrapLeon
like the Not the last one that came out, but the one before that.
00:33:04
Steve-O
Okay.
00:33:05
ThirstTrapLeon
And like right as the movie, like the screen's black and then like the the title card hits.
00:33:09
Steve-O
Hmm.
00:33:11
ThirstTrapLeon
And I just hit him with them one that was like, that and then he he couldn't stop laughing for about 10 minutes. and he was He was furious with me and I was like, I don't know, man.
00:33:17
Steve-O
That is good.
00:33:21
ThirstTrapLeon
At a very, very expertly time. So.
00:33:24
Steve-O
You got stinky burps.
00:33:27
ThirstTrapLeon
I'd like to say no, but every once in a while, dude, like I think I'd say this on the average. No, not at all. But man, when they do, I can tell. And I'm like, oh.
00:33:27
GraceAsscrack
My arm's stinky right now.
00:33:39
Steve-O
That's fair.
00:33:40
ThirstTrapLeon
You know what? You know, what's a a fool's errand is when you have those farts that don't stink and shut up. They exist, right? Where you're just pushing out air. No one believes you.
00:33:51
ThirstTrapLeon
And you're like, I swear to God.
00:33:52
Steve-O
It's just a sound. It's just an audible.
00:33:53
ThirstTrapLeon
it's just it's just yeah it's just It's just something coming out of me, guys.
00:33:56
Steve-O
the The thing though is like, there is also like, that's your own scent.
00:34:00
ThirstTrapLeon
But you'll never be able to convince anyone.
00:34:03
Steve-O
So some of the time it's like, it doesn't affect you as much, but somebody who is not as familiar with your scent or around your scent will clock it and be like, Oh, Oh, but
00:34:14
ThirstTrapLeon
I'm sure there's ah there's a Google search I could do that explains it, but like it's wild how how into, like not into it, but like how accepting of my own like your own farts you can be.
00:34:18
Steve-O
dude, the bad ones are weird.
00:34:21
Steve-O
Freak.
00:34:26
ThirstTrapLeon
And then you can be like, oh, that one smells so bad.
00:34:26
Steve-O
Yeah. Yeah, when you when you clock one that's...
00:34:31
ThirstTrapLeon
But even then, it still doesn't smell that bad, right? But you know, you're like, that one has a has a kick to it.
00:34:34
Steve-O
You're like, oh I'm so sorry.
00:34:38
ThirstTrapLeon
That one's little spicy. And then the person next you throws up outside of their car.
00:34:42
Steve-O
They throw up and you're like, I'm sorry, I hit Chipotle.
00:34:46
ThirstTrapLeon
but I'm sorry.
00:34:46
Steve-O
so
00:34:47
ThirstTrapLeon
I have a tummy ache. I'm sorry.
00:34:48
Steve-O
So...
00:34:49
ThirstTrapLeon
They didn't have any rice. They didn't have any rice. So I had to just eat beans at the burrito spot today. That's true story.
00:34:54
Steve-O
So, wait, you just ate rice?
00:34:54
ThirstTrapLeon
That happened to me today. No, no, they had no rice.
00:34:58
Steve-O

00:34:58
ThirstTrapLeon
He's like, um, the one. So I'm getting burrito, right?
00:35:01
Steve-O
It was just beans?
00:35:01
ThirstTrapLeon
is the Dude, so the guy's like, hey, just so know we don't have any rice.
00:35:03
GraceAsscrack
Mm-hmm.
00:35:06
ThirstTrapLeon
And I'm like, that's fine. The woman behind me goes, you all have rice? And he's like, no, we're all out. She storms out, dude.
Everyday Anecdotes and Food Stories
00:35:16
ThirstTrapLeon
I'm at a Moe's. And I was like, wow, that woman really wanted some rice. And went, I know, right? And then proceeded to make my burrito.
00:35:25
ThirstTrapLeon
And I was like, okay.
00:35:26
Steve-O
I think rice is fairly important for the, the burrito.
00:35:29
ThirstTrapLeon
You know what?
00:35:30
GraceAsscrack
Yeah, that's a pretty key ingredient.
00:35:30
ThirstTrapLeon
It butts butts.
00:35:32
Steve-O
You were just beans and chicken and like veggies and maybe.
00:35:36
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah, it was beans and chicken, dude.
00:35:36
Steve-O
instead
00:35:38
ThirstTrapLeon
Chipotle mayo. Listen, sometimes the rice will dry up a burrito, though. Like, really badly. And if you want a wet, sloppy little burrito, dude, I'd say don't get rice.
00:35:52
Steve-O
oh
00:35:53
ThirstTrapLeon
Every once in a while, it's okay. But it's just, I don't know, man.
00:35:56
GraceAsscrack
What do you replace it with? it's just At that point, it's just mush.
00:35:58
ThirstTrapLeon
Nothing. It's not mush. The rice is what makes it mushy.
00:36:03
Steve-O
No, I like the rice. Dude, the rice is good.
00:36:05
GraceAsscrack
No, the rice is important.
00:36:05
Steve-O
It's structure.
00:36:06
ThirstTrapLeon
something ah The rice just packs it in, dude.
00:36:06
GraceAsscrack
The rice is important.
00:36:08
Steve-O
If I want it to be wet, I'll just like get a burrito with like some mole sauce. Oh, so good.
00:36:13
ThirstTrapLeon
ah hate molay sauce I hate I hate mole sauce.
00:36:14
Steve-O
You hate mole sauce?
00:36:17
ThirstTrapLeon
One, hate the name. Two, hate the spelling. Three, not a big fan of the taste. Four, don't like the look of it either.
00:36:17
GraceAsscrack
You're crazy, Devin.
00:36:24
Steve-O
It's just like chocolate. It's just like a
00:36:28
ThirstTrapLeon
It's not...
00:36:28
GraceAsscrack
I think, I think rice, I think rice to burrito is like rice to sushi.
00:36:28
ThirstTrapLeon
Dude, I don't want...
00:36:33
GraceAsscrack
It's it's just one of those things.
00:36:33
Steve-O
Yeah, yeah.
00:36:35
ThirstTrapLeon
i Listen, next time, just be like, hey, could you just give me like half the amount of normal rice? I think you'll have a better burrito experience.
00:36:42
Steve-O
I think I'd be getting a worse burrito experience.
00:36:44
GraceAsscrack
I mean, maybe if I'm ordering a $50 carne asada burrito, then yeah, fucking hold off on the rice.
00:36:45
Steve-O
I'm getting less nice.
00:36:47
ThirstTrapLeon
yeah
00:36:52
GraceAsscrack
I need to make sure all my stomach filling goes to the meat, you know?
00:36:53

ThirstTrapLeon
I think just no.
00:37:20
GraceAsscrack
No.

GraceAsscrack
um Maybe we just skip the news stories.

ThirstTrapLeon
How could we get derailed at this point, John?
00:37:41
GraceAsscrack
I say save the news stuff for last. We'll do lightning-style last.
00:37:45
ThirstTrapLeon
Okay. Okay.
00:37:46
Steve-O
All right. That sounds good.
00:37:47
ThirstTrapLeon
Okay.
00:37:47
GraceAsscrack
So we can get it all out, you know?
00:37:47
Steve-O
That sounds good.
00:37:48
ThirstTrapLeon
So, all right. Officially, this is the warning.
00:37:50
GraceAsscrack
Top-load it.
00:37:51
ThirstTrapLeon
Resident Evil 9 talk. we We all no-lifed it. And fully admitting, we no-lifed Sat there.
00:37:59
Steve-O
So look right ah right off the top, i just so that way, you know, the people who haven't played it, and we're not going to do spoilers at this moment, but everybody, marry or kill.
00:38:07
ThirstTrapLeon
Okay. so
00:38:09
Steve-O
What are your thoughts on this? And then we'll send everybody who doesn't want spoilers home.
00:38:13
GraceAsscrack
Do I do letterbox style or regular style?
00:38:18
Steve-O
Your pick.
00:38:22
GraceAsscrack
I mean, this is tough.
00:38:28
GraceAsscrack
I would say long-term engagement with serious consideration for for marriage. But it's too new right now.
00:38:39
GraceAsscrack
We're still on the honeymoon phase.
00:38:39
Steve-O
Oh, John, i did we find your thing that kind of just added a little bit of a middle ground to your review system?
00:38:40
ThirstTrapLeon
Wait, to hold on.
00:38:45
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah. Hold on. I don't
00:38:47
GraceAsscrack
Well, no, thought you said we're doing Letterboxd style, yeah, it's masterpiece, right? But if you want my actual, like, specific thoughts...
00:38:55
Steve-O
Okay, the actual.
00:38:56
GraceAsscrack
Yeah, I think...
00:38:58
ThirstTrapLeon
like this job. don't like this version.
00:39:01
GraceAsscrack
think we have to put it within context of how we view the rest of the series. And that's why I i asked my friend Charles...
00:39:13
GraceAsscrack
Charles Gordon... um part Parkinson III. I asked him
00:39:19
Steve-O
unfortunate name.
00:39:21
GraceAsscrack
so pull
00:39:21
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah.
00:39:23
GraceAsscrack
to pull the ah i asked them to pull the ah the Metacritic scores of the the mainline games to give us some, you know, a baseline, I guess, of of how the series is viewed in general. And basically, like, because the the way I wanted to do this isn't, I mean, we can do Mary Fuck Kill later.
00:39:43
GraceAsscrack
I guess, like, after we talk about everything, maybe maybe my my position will change.
00:39:43
Steve-O
Yeah.
00:39:48
GraceAsscrack
But, like, ah my main thing is just, like, where does this one rank? Like, this is how I was with the 8th, with the Village, and with Resident Evil 7 as well.
00:40:01
GraceAsscrack
Like, oh, how does this how does this stack up against? Because this is a very long and prestigious... um series of, it's a very long and prestigious franchise, I would say.
00:40:14
GraceAsscrack
Like, it's Capcom, is Capcom's big, I mean, it's not Monster Hunter or a Street Fighter, but, like, it's basically Capcom's, like, main, like, blood bloodline IP.
00:40:24
ThirstTrapLeon
i feel like if you if you think of the first game you think of Capcom, I think it's most of people's.
00:40:26
GraceAsscrack
Like, this is what Capcom, what defines Capcom.
00:40:31
GraceAsscrack
It's Resident Evil.
00:40:32
ThirstTrapLeon
It's Resident Evil.
00:40:32
Steve-O
this was This was the game that they thought could compete with Call of Duty back in the 360 Mm-hmm.
00:40:33
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah.
00:40:33
GraceAsscrack
I mean, they fucking, they, this is fucking, they named their fucking god tier engine. off of Resident, didn't call the SF engine or the MH engine.
00:40:45
GraceAsscrack
They call it the RE engine with the specific intentions to use the engine to the to the to its full potential for these games, you know?
00:40:54
ThirstTrapLeon
Well, apparently as somebody from Capcom said it actually stands for reach for the moon because that's what your dreams are.
00:40:59
GraceAsscrack
Yeah, okay.
00:41:00
Steve-O
That's such BS.
00:41:01
GraceAsscrack
Sure, sure, dog.
00:41:01
ThirstTrapLeon
And I was like, okay.
00:41:01
Steve-O
That's such BS.
00:41:04
GraceAsscrack
Oh, the GTA engine stands for Gary gary ah Theodore Rodriguez.
00:41:06
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah.
00:41:08
Steve-O
The idea is silent Rodriguez.
00:41:11
GraceAsscrack
That doesn't even say GTA. Gary Theodore. Gary Theodore Anderson.
00:41:15
Steve-O
ah
00:41:15
GraceAsscrack
That's named after our founding father, Gary Theodore Anderson.
00:41:16
ThirstTrapLeon
yeah
00:41:19
Steve-O
the yeah is silent in rodriguez
00:41:21
GraceAsscrack
Yeah. But, uh, GTR.
00:41:22
ThirstTrapLeon
very silent
00:41:25
GraceAsscrack
Uh, but yeah, uh, yeah, so I mean, I think that, I mean, we, I think we should talk about the game, and then we can go down memory lane as well.
00:41:30
Steve-O
okay
00:41:33
GraceAsscrack
Uh, I don't know how you guys want, like, do you want to do, like, a King of the Board type style, or we're like... Like afterwards, we're like, oh, do you think it's better than this one? Do you think it's better than this one?
00:41:43
Steve-O
I think we could do that. I think that that works.
00:41:44
GraceAsscrack
Okay. Just because I.
00:41:45
Steve-O
I'm going to, you know what? I'm going to send everybody home right now. You heard from John, his letterbox review masterpiece.
00:41:51
GraceAsscrack
Masterpiece.
00:41:51
Steve-O
So take that and then get out of here.
00:41:52
GraceAsscrack
Stop the steal.
00:41:53
Steve-O
Cause we'll probably start talking about spoilers and stuff.
00:41:53
GraceAsscrack
Stop the steal. Stop the steal.
00:41:55
Steve-O
So.
00:41:58
GraceAsscrack
Because this one, this one had everything, man. Like everything.
00:42:02
Steve-O
This one definitely felt like the 30-year culmination.
00:42:03
GraceAsscrack
And.
00:42:06
GraceAsscrack
like this is what yeah Like you said earlier, Steve, like this is what probably they wanted Resident Evil 6 to feel like aesthetically and like vibes-wise. When you have the sixth installment in the prestigious Resident Evil ah franchise of games, like when you have the sixth one where it has everybody in it, right that one, you're playing playing six different storylines across six different locations and in in in the world.
00:42:26
Steve-O
Hmm.
00:42:34
GraceAsscrack
Like, this is the fucking... This isn't just the greatest hits. This is like Sgt. Pepper. You know, we're trying to make Sgt. Pepper, you know? So... um But this is this is like...
00:42:46
GraceAsscrack
This is this is like the White Album, I would say, if we're doing Beatles albums.
00:42:50
ThirstTrapLeon
Mmm,
00:42:50
GraceAsscrack
Like, this is like...
00:42:51
ThirstTrapLeon
okay
00:42:51
GraceAsscrack
Because you got Side 1, you know? You got Side 2. I mean, you even got you got Rocky Raccoon and in the the White Album, too. We got we even got the namesake in there.
00:43:03
Steve-O
mr raccoon
00:43:03
GraceAsscrack
But... and Yeah, and then you you have you have, you know, you have John Lennon's, like, his specific style in in and um and in and certain songs, right? And then you have, like, you have Paul McCartney, too. Like, you have both.
00:43:25
GraceAsscrack
And they're they're very separate. um I don't know where I'm going with this, but, like, I mean, you know where I'm going with this.
00:43:32
Steve-O
I can see the tie where you're you are taught you are using the Lennon-McCarthy comparison.
00:43:32
GraceAsscrack
Like, You know, because it's always been Lennon McCartney dude does every song, right?
00:43:38
Steve-O
McCartney. Yeah.
00:43:42
GraceAsscrack
But then, you know, when you can actually pinpoint parts of the, parts of songs or or even songs in general where you're like, oh this is definitely a John Lennon song. This is definitely ah a Paul McCartney song.
00:43:52
Steve-O
Right.
00:43:54
GraceAsscrack
Like, it's's it's basically the same with this, where it's like, oh, we have two distinct styles, but like, let's let's mash them together, but in a way that like, really works you know so
00:44:05
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah.
00:44:05
Steve-O
who Who would be who in your mind? Is Grace or Leon Paul?
00:44:11
GraceAsscrack
think leon's paul and grace's grace's part is lennon because it's fucking creepy weird shit like you know like it's like fucking psycho shit like psycho like you know subliminal message type things where where leon is very you know
00:44:13
Steve-O
Okay.
00:44:18
Steve-O
It's terrifying.
00:44:19
ThirstTrapLeon
beautiful
00:44:20
Steve-O
Yeah.
00:44:30
GraceAsscrack
I want to hold your hand. You know what I mean?
00:44:32
Steve-O
yeah
00:44:34
GraceAsscrack
like leon is You know what you're getting with Leon, and it's like, how well do you like how well do they execute the Leon Kennedy stuff? Because in Resident Evil 6, they have him fucking laying down on the ground, rolling around and shit, and fucking gunfu.
00:44:51
Steve-O
Yeah.
00:44:51
GraceAsscrack
But it's like, he does all that stuff, but it's like, can we make it like Resident Evil 4 Remake? you know Can we like really like translate what they did it's really interesting because like you feel like you you got somewhere resident before remake you're just like oh this is the pinnacle of fucking action like action horror like this is what action horrors like it's got to be like this they almost got there with resident evil 3 remake right uh where they're like it's like aliens but like resident evil 4 remake it's like oh let's you know and then you know the big big shoes to fill too like it's like how do you
00:45:25
Steve-O
Mm-hmm.
00:45:26
GraceAsscrack
this the most beloved game in the in the in the franchise, basically, one one one one of two of the most beloved games the franchise, like, how do you fucking remake that, you know? With two, you know, clearly, clearly with Resident Evil 2 remake, they had they had shit on their plate that they wanted to get out, and they were able to get it out. But with Resident Evil 4, it's like everybody, when they went, I guess you you could say a lot of people, when it was announced, like, oh, why do you even need to do this?
00:45:53
GraceAsscrack
You know, you don't really have to do this. But,
00:45:55
Steve-O
Right, like if that game was still playable in like modern consoles.
00:45:58
GraceAsscrack
But it's, yeah, but I feel like it's like a stepping stone to, like, where they wanted to go with it. Because, you know, it's not, you know, this the difference is, like, this isn't a remake. Like, this is a new game.
00:46:09
Steve-O
Right.
00:46:09
GraceAsscrack
So, like, that's, it holds more weight.
00:46:09
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah.
00:46:11
GraceAsscrack
Like, the stakes are a little bit higher because you don't have, like, you know, oh, this remake, like, Resident Evil 3 remake, we hated it, but it's cool. Like, Resident Evil 3 Nemesis for PlayStation 1 is still amazing.
00:46:25
GraceAsscrack
So,
00:46:25
Steve-O
Still exists. Yeah.
00:46:26
GraceAsscrack
still exists you know nobody will to ever take that away from us but with this is like a new game like you know you like where are we going with this you're we're we're running out of remakes to make to to fucking crutch on capcom like where where are we going with the series and it's like it's really impressive to to even know that you know and and if you take out all the all the side shits like the side games and stuff i'm not gonna i'm gonna count
00:46:37
Steve-O
Right.
00:46:52
GraceAsscrack
Code Veronica as a mainline game. always I will always count as a mainline game.
00:46:55
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah.
00:46:56
Steve-O
Yeah.
00:46:56
GraceAsscrack
But like with all the side games, like the amount of years that Resident Evil has is just one. But like the the amount of mainline games, like it's really impressive um to see that they're trying still.
00:47:15
GraceAsscrack
you know Especially after. And I guess we could thank Resident Evil 7 for that. Because that that kind of set it up. for the series and it's like, how do we, how do we incorporate the classic shit too?
00:47:27
GraceAsscrack
And it's like, this one pretty much had both.
00:47:30
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah, this felt like...
00:47:30
GraceAsscrack
So.
00:47:30
Steve-O
Yeah.
00:47:32
ThirstTrapLeon
It was very fanservice-y. Not in a pervy way, to be honest.
00:47:36
GraceAsscrack
Yeah. But like, yeah, in like a tasteful way, like a v fan service in a tasteful way, I would say.
00:47:37
ThirstTrapLeon
um Yeah.
00:47:43
GraceAsscrack
And you got, you guys all play grace first person.
00:47:46
Steve-O
Yes.
00:47:46
ThirstTrapLeon
No. I was third for both.
00:47:47
GraceAsscrack
Leon third person.
00:47:48
Steve-O
oh
00:47:49
GraceAsscrack
Uh, you gooner.
00:47:49
Steve-O
Oh.
00:47:50
GraceAsscrack
With your dick in your hand, you're playing one-handed. Looking at Grace's butt.
00:47:54
ThirstTrapLeon
We don't gotta worry about... How was it in first person?
00:47:58
GraceAsscrack
Fucking awesome, dude.
00:47:58
ThirstTrapLeon
It's... Okay, I...
00:47:59
Steve-O
all It's terrifying.
00:48:00
ThirstTrapLeon
I will say it's it's kind of funny because like in third person, specifically in the very beginning parts, there's not a few moments where it just puts you in that first person perspective.
00:48:10
Steve-O
yeah
00:48:10
ThirstTrapLeon
And then it's like, oh, yeah, I get it. I get it. You want me to be playing like this? And then it was just kind of pulled back.
00:48:16
GraceAsscrack
Even a And i don't know how deep you guys went. I mean, we will talk about in detail when we get to it, but like an upgrade, like one of the couple of the upgrades you can get for, for Leon, for his gun.
00:48:27
GraceAsscrack
Like if you add a site to his gun, it shifts it to first person to make it easier to aim, which is really interesting and cool.
00:48:30
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:48:31
Steve-O
yeah
00:48:34
ThirstTrapLeon
Kind of, i wasn't a big fan of that because it's like,
00:48:38
GraceAsscrack
oh, you want you want cheat cheat code mode where you just give them the laser?
00:48:41
ThirstTrapLeon
yeah, I kind of, I'll be honest, I was, i was, I was really excited for the laser.
00:48:41
Steve-O
The laser dot.
00:48:43
GraceAsscrack
They'll never do that! They would have given that to us in the remake, and they never they're never going back to that.
00:48:49
ThirstTrapLeon
i really, I was like, oh, stick the lasers back.
00:48:50
GraceAsscrack
and
00:48:51
ThirstTrapLeon
And then it just put me in that perspective.
00:48:52
GraceAsscrack
Yeah, nah.
00:48:53
ThirstTrapLeon
And I was like, yeah.
00:48:53
GraceAsscrack
Yeah, but it dude, that's so it would be so broke like it would be so fucking easy. if if Especially if it had the same laser physics like as the OG where you only see the actual dot at the end of the laser if
00:49:06
Steve-O
And let me have a Wiimote, too.
00:49:08
GraceAsscrack
Yeah. I mean, you got you got a mouse keyboard, though, and dog.
00:49:09
ThirstTrapLeon
with yeah Yeah, you basically have a remote.
00:49:11
GraceAsscrack
I see people playing mouse keyboard.
00:49:12
Steve-O
i played this with controller. I played this with controller, because that's how you play these.
00:49:15
GraceAsscrack
You know what, Steve? I didn't even want... I mean, I didn't even ask you because I knew you were going to do it the right way and not be a fucking weirdo about it.
00:49:21
Steve-O
Hmm?
00:49:21
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah.
00:49:24
GraceAsscrack
I'm interested i'm also interested to see how the speedruns go for a game like this because it is short enough to probably get under... I would say you can get under two hours in this game. Two, two three hours.
00:49:33
Steve-O
the ah you know the The challenge in the endgame is ah beat it in four hours. So I'm i'm excited to see a two-hour run of it.
00:49:40
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah.
00:49:41
GraceAsscrack
yeah this Yeah, I'm excited to see fucking the butt the butt fence glitch in this game, like in the remake that I was doing.
00:49:44
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah, I...
00:49:50
ThirstTrapLeon
I'm very curious about ah yeah how they're going to do that. I mean, I'm curious if it's how doable it is without like infinite ammo.
00:50:02
ThirstTrapLeon
Because that's those gray sections are pretty rough. Like, you've got to go slow.
00:50:07
GraceAsscrack
Yeah, but once you yeah once you have a route, though, it's like, you know,
00:50:09
Steve-O
Yeah.
00:50:10
ThirstTrapLeon
You know what? Yeah, I suppose.
00:50:12
Steve-O
and And also there's hemiletic purple blower uppers.
00:50:12
GraceAsscrack
It's a matter of like, yeah.
00:50:16
ThirstTrapLeon
No. Yeah, those...
00:50:19
GraceAsscrack
Oh, yeah.
00:50:19
Steve-O
Oh, those are a godsend.
00:50:19
GraceAsscrack
Yeah, it's easy. yeah easy It's going to be easy, dude. And then like um with Leon, with the Leon stuff, you just have to kill as many people as you need to get whatever upgrades you need, and then and then you're good.
00:50:29
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah, you're just a serial killer.
00:50:30
Steve-O
Hmm.
00:50:32
ThirstTrapLeon
le
00:50:33
GraceAsscrack
you know' Yeah.
00:50:34
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah.
00:50:35
GraceAsscrack
I feel like, yeah, it's, yeah.
00:50:35
ThirstTrapLeon
You know, so... I was talking to John about this, Steve, and like I was like, when leon when you play li specifically in the beginning parts, because one of my concerns at the very least was like, I was like, man, the Leons are great, but like they're so short.
00:50:39
Steve-O
Yeah.
00:50:49
GraceAsscrack
Is that it?
00:50:53
ThirstTrapLeon
They just didn't feel short until it opened up, right?
00:50:53
Steve-O
Dude.
00:50:55
ThirstTrapLeon
But I was like, man, this really feels like you're using like a mythic...
00:50:56
Steve-O
Yeah.
00:51:02
ThirstTrapLeon
like like Like, you have a...
00:51:02
GraceAsscrack
Yeah. It's like you're summoning.
00:51:03
ThirstTrapLeon
like you're Yeah, or like you're playing like a D&D campaign, and then you just add like a name to Mythic character, and you're like, okay, this person comes in and just fucking wipes...
00:51:04
GraceAsscrack
Yeah, you...
00:51:04
Steve-O
Mm-hmm.
00:51:10
Steve-O
Right. It's here's a level 20 wizard that just shows up.
00:51:13
GraceAsscrack
Fucking wipes the whole house.
00:51:14
ThirstTrapLeon
white Yeah, and just wipes everybody out, and you're like, oh, yeah, this is... Or I think in the example, yeah I was like, it'd be like fucking just putting like...
00:51:25
ThirstTrapLeon
It's like Kratos in Silent Hill, right? It's just like, oh, yeah, here. here the This is what is this. I get it. It's scary. But like, here's Kratos. And you just fucking wipe everybody out.
00:51:36
ThirstTrapLeon
Like, that's what it feels like being Leon.
00:51:36
GraceAsscrack
it's really It's really... yeah It's cool, though, because like you get you get a break from all the the tension, but like in a way that you're still engaged in the game, and then you get a break from...
00:51:46
ThirstTrapLeon
Oh, yeah.
00:51:50
GraceAsscrack
you all like you know pain it pains me a little bit to say this, because i don't feel the same i don't feel feel the same sentiments as a lot of other people, but you know the fucking...
00:52:02
GraceAsscrack
you're If you're going back to Resident Evil 4, even Resident Evil 4 Remake... there are times where you're kind of just like fucking slogging through. Like, it feels like you're doing work, just mowing through all those, all those ganados. And, you know, it's good to go back to, you know, reality. Like, oh, actually, this is the story we're actually following.
00:52:24
GraceAsscrack
And the the way they contrast it in the game is like, is it's done so incredibly well because like you, you, you instantly, like you, you instantly get,
00:52:29
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah.
00:52:34
GraceAsscrack
like it's the It's like the meme of the guy like sitting up when he wants to get serious for the game. like That's how it is when you're Grace.
00:52:41
Steve-O
Yeah.
00:52:43
GraceAsscrack
You're just like, oh, okay, i gotta fucking I gotta put fucking five Zins in my mouth, and I gotta lock in right now because i could die at any moment. Whereas Leon, it's just like, oh How do I want to paint my my painting today with with the blood of my enemies?
00:52:57
Steve-O
yeah
00:52:59
GraceAsscrack
You know what mean? how creative like How creative do I want to be with the action as Leon as opposed to how am I going to fucking survive as Grace?
00:53:06
Steve-O
Do I want to use the chainsaw?
00:53:08
GraceAsscrack
Yeah.
00:53:08
Steve-O
Should I just use my guns? Maybe I'll so i'll throw in some melee, some axe ferries.
00:53:12
GraceAsscrack
Dude, that ah fucking execution move that he does with the Requiem is so sick, dude.
00:53:18
ThirstTrapLeon
Mm, yeah.
00:53:19
GraceAsscrack
It's so good. Oh, you know what? I'll get this out of the way right now, too, before we we go through the game.
00:53:23
Steve-O
Mm-hmm.
00:53:27
GraceAsscrack
I like the hatchet. I'm still knife guy. Give me the knife over the hatchet.
00:53:31
ThirstTrapLeon
Mm.
00:53:32
Steve-O
Ooh, you know what? Controversial.
00:53:33
GraceAsscrack
Alright?
00:53:34
Steve-O
I'm going to say the opposite. I liked that I didn't have to keep picking up knives.
00:53:35
GraceAsscrack
You're a hatchet guy?
00:53:37
Steve-O
I could just sharpen it when it was dull.
00:53:39
GraceAsscrack
no I mean, you... Give me the fucking... Give me the sharpen... Give me the whetstone in Resident Evil 4 Remake.
00:53:44
Steve-O
Oh, okay. You want the wet stone in four?
00:53:46
GraceAsscrack
Yeah, give me the fucking whetstone in Resident Evil 4 Remake, and and we're good.
00:53:46
Steve-O
Okay. who
00:53:50
Steve-O
That's fair.
00:53:50
GraceAsscrack
You know?
00:53:51
Steve-O
um
00:53:52
GraceAsscrack
It's just like, um it just feels... Dude, and then like... Actually, i don't want to talk about that part yet. But um yeah, let's just go through the game, right?
00:53:57
Steve-O
Okay.
00:54:01
Steve-O
Mm-hmm.
00:54:01
GraceAsscrack
So... um what What did you guys think of the story?
00:54:06
Steve-O
um
00:54:07
GraceAsscrack
Because that's usually the weakest link for the series.
00:54:07
Steve-O
i think this story I think the story is good.
00:54:11
GraceAsscrack
Yeah.
00:54:11
Steve-O
i think there's some points in it that are like almost like you know silly or unrealistic. Like the FBI sends ah the daughter of a murder victim to the crime scene.
00:54:21
GraceAsscrack
Well, there's... Dude, well, you know what? You know what, though, Steve?
00:54:24
Steve-O
Yeah.
00:54:24
GraceAsscrack
My rebuttal to that is the fact that they were trying to...
00:54:26
Steve-O
m
00:54:29
GraceAsscrack
That they, you know, the conspiracy is that they murdered Alyssa Ashcroft to cover this up. Maybe they were trying to do the same thing with Grace by sending her alone down there
00:54:40
Steve-O
No, like, that's ah that's a major possibility. Like, you are...
00:54:44
ThirstTrapLeon
But I guess it is odd because that guy never gets in comeuppance if that was the plan.
00:54:47
Steve-O
Well, to be fair, to be fair they they aren't trying to murder her.
00:54:48
ThirstTrapLeon
Right?
00:54:52
Steve-O
It seems...
00:54:53
GraceAsscrack
Oh, maybe they were just delivering delivering her to to get to victor to Victor, I guess, right?
00:54:54
ThirstTrapLeon
That's true, yeah.
00:54:56
Steve-O
the the The funny thing that i we after we beat it, we were like, okay, so basically the gist of Resident Evil 9 is ah we we need Grandpa's computer.
00:54:59
ThirstTrapLeon
But I mean, like...
00:55:10
Steve-O
Can you help us open Grandpa's computer?
00:55:13
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah, yeah. um I'll be honest, like i I dug this story a lot. I think of this...
00:55:18
Steve-O
Yeah.
00:55:21
ThirstTrapLeon
It's funny because, again...
00:55:21
GraceAsscrack
Was it better than 7th store to you, Devin?
00:55:24
Steve-O
Yes.
00:55:26
ThirstTrapLeon
So, Seven and One are great because of like the the simplicity of it, essentially.
00:55:33
GraceAsscrack
Right.
00:55:33
ThirstTrapLeon
It's just like, oh, like your wife's gone missing, you think she's here, you go in, and then scary shit happens.
00:55:34
GraceAsscrack
Right.
00:55:39
ThirstTrapLeon
Obviously, Seven... gets a little bumpy with like the the end stuff because you know the science facility no it does it does i just I really like the moments in 9 almost more than any other game though like the moments are great and then even the overall arching plot with like the sickness and everything really into that right because it's kind of like wait why is because Leon's essentially like he's doing this off book right like he doesn't have sanction to do this
00:55:46
GraceAsscrack
I mean, this one does a little bit too, I think. It's the same vein-ish.
00:55:56
Steve-O
Yeah.
00:56:03
GraceAsscrack
I got TB.
00:56:06
Steve-O
Dude.
00:56:07
GraceAsscrack
Dude, he got TB, man.
00:56:11
GraceAsscrack
Yeah, he used his personal vehicle, not a government vehicle.
00:56:13
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah, yeah.
00:56:13
Steve-O
The poor shit.
00:56:15
ThirstTrapLeon
um
00:56:16
GraceAsscrack
His personal Porsche.
00:56:16
ThirstTrapLeon
You know my my issues my issues are with just some odd decisions regarding the ending or endings.
00:56:25
GraceAsscrack
with this story With the story, right?
00:56:26
Steve-O
Okay.
00:56:26
ThirstTrapLeon
um Yeah, I don't know.
00:56:26
GraceAsscrack
Because
00:56:28
ThirstTrapLeon
if Like, I'll just, you know, I got spoilers.
00:56:30
GraceAsscrack
I have a couple nitpicks, but they're not very significant, I would say.
00:56:30
ThirstTrapLeon
um
00:56:31
Steve-O
Yeah.
00:56:32
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah. So, my...
00:56:35
Steve-O
That's mine. my Mine are more nitpicks. Like, why isn't she just, like, ripping that guy's arm off to get the band like the band in the hospital?
00:56:36
ThirstTrapLeon
Okay. Okay.
00:56:42
GraceAsscrack
Yeah, underneath, yeah.
00:56:43
Steve-O
But, yeah.
00:56:44
GraceAsscrack
He's like, there's something under his arm.
00:56:44
ThirstTrapLeon
Oh, yeah, yeah, stuff like that.
00:56:45
GraceAsscrack
I got to fucking, I got to Frankenstein him to get the fucking security band.
00:56:46
Steve-O
Yeah.
00:56:48
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah. Yeah, but ah so my my issues really were, one, the the bad ending is so inconsequential that I'm kind of annoyed it was even an option.
00:57:02
ThirstTrapLeon
Like, if it led to...
00:57:03
Steve-O
Okay.
00:57:03
GraceAsscrack
Oh, you wanted... Oh, this is what he wanted, Steve. Devin wanted Expedition 33 style where Grace and Leon have to fight each other at the end.
00:57:10
ThirstTrapLeon
not not even. well actually... Listen, if it led to something.
00:57:14
GraceAsscrack
and And it's a matter of who's ready, who wants to give up their trauma. who the new The new person with the trauma or the veteran with the trauma?
00:57:18
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah.
00:57:22
GraceAsscrack
who Who's got to give it up?
00:57:22
ThirstTrapLeon
yeah but Do I want to leave traumatized?
00:57:24
Steve-O
i don't I don't know what the the bad ending gives you.
00:57:27
ThirstTrapLeon
So ah honestly, it's it's not even worth your load, re like a reloading of a thing.
00:57:28
GraceAsscrack
Yeah.
00:57:34
GraceAsscrack
so So does it just it just game overs and then you can start over again and do it and do it over?
00:57:38
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah, so it's just like, it's just, it doesn't lead to an alternate boss fight.
00:57:39
GraceAsscrack
Is that what happens?
00:57:43
ThirstTrapLeon
It doesn't lead to anything big or dramatic because it's just like, the bad thing happens and then credits roll.
00:57:48
GraceAsscrack
Well, I mean, that's that's that's classic, though. You know?
00:57:53
Steve-O
I mean, I mean,
00:57:53
ThirstTrapLeon
No, but it like,
00:57:53
GraceAsscrack
you know The worst thing, Devin, the worst thing is that they would like is if they had two separate canonical adjacent, like, storylines that are completely different and then nobody knows what the real thing is like nobody knows if Rebecca yeah that no Resident Evil 2 or even Resident Evil 1 too where it's like you know is Rebecca alive or not like nobody really fucking knows and then it just you know like I'd rather them have a definitive ending which is the good ending and then the bad ending just game over and you made the wrong choice and then you just you know
00:58:06
ThirstTrapLeon
Isn't that just Resident Evil 2?
00:58:12
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah.
00:58:16
ThirstTrapLeon
I mean, she's alive.
00:58:24
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah, but it's just like, it was just like a weird, because that was when I mentioned a few weeks ago, like i was like, oh, I kind of saw spoiler. Like I saw that there were multiple endings and I was like,
00:58:35
ThirstTrapLeon
what? And then, and then I saw that and i was just like, I don't know. And I reloaded the save and i was just like, Oh, that's so it's.
00:58:41
GraceAsscrack
So do you think if you weren't spoiled, do you think you would have felt you still felt bad? Because, like, do you think that you expected more because of what you read?
00:58:46
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah. like It's basically, it's the equivalent of like a failed QTE e in Resident Evil four, you know, it's just like, Oh, Leon dies.
00:58:57
ThirstTrapLeon
And then you're sad. And then credits. And I was like, what the, okay. Whereas,
00:59:00
Steve-O
Okay, oh at least, you know, honestly, like, that's that's still something. I mean, we've we're past, you mentioned Sfoil of War.
00:59:07
ThirstTrapLeon
we're there we're there no so so but it's it's
00:59:07
GraceAsscrack
I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding.
00:59:08
Steve-O
like But, like, at that point, like, you know, they're introducing those mechanics.
00:59:10
GraceAsscrack
but just kidding
00:59:13
Steve-O
like Like, when they introduce the sickness mechanics where, like, Leon starts stumbling and seeing purple, like, in the middle of, like, fights.
00:59:20
GraceAsscrack
Yeah, when he's full-blown Arthur Morgan.
00:59:23
ThirstTrapLeon
yeah but again it's just it's so inconsequential of like a of an ending and so just like okay you chose wrong and and here's
00:59:23
GraceAsscrack
Like, he's Arthur Morgan.
00:59:23
Steve-O
Yeah.
00:59:34
Steve-O
You can like reboot your save there though, right?
00:59:34
ThirstTrapLeon
It's 30 seconds, dude. It's 30 seconds.
00:59:36
GraceAsscrack
Yeah, I...
00:59:37
ThirstTrapLeon
No, yeah. And like my, you know, I, the first choice I, I,
00:59:39
GraceAsscrack
No, it's just... It just feels like it's just a game over, right? You just picked the wrong thing.
00:59:43
ThirstTrapLeon
yeah, that's what I mean. It just feels like a game over.
00:59:44
Steve-O
Okay.
00:59:45
ThirstTrapLeon
Like it wasn't, no, I get it, but it's so whatever that it's like odd that it was like this big, like choice.
00:59:46
GraceAsscrack
Well, that's fine. I think that's fine.
00:59:55
ThirstTrapLeon
I'm like, I don't know.
00:59:55
Steve-O
Right.
00:59:55
GraceAsscrack
i'm glad you know I'm glad that it's...
00:59:56
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah.
00:59:58
GraceAsscrack
um'm I'm actually glad that it it isn't some big choice, to be honest, because that's not what the ending should have been. and you you just
01:00:05
ThirstTrapLeon
I mean, but that's that's my point.
01:00:06
GraceAsscrack
That's just like, you chose you chose wrong you chose wrong because you didn't you didn't pick up on some of the context beforehand, and then this is actually what it really is.
01:00:07
ThirstTrapLeon
is like It should have just been...
01:00:15
Steve-O
also Also, shame for you in doubting the fact that Leon couldn't kill whatever was thrown at him, had it been a worst case scenario.
01:00:15
ThirstTrapLeon
yeah but like...
01:00:15
GraceAsscrack
And I'm ah and i'm okay i'm okay with that.
01:00:24
GraceAsscrack
Yeah.
01:00:24
ThirstTrapLeon
Oh, no, he definitely doesn't kill. He gets fucking murdered a pretty...
01:00:27
GraceAsscrack
He just dies.
01:00:28
Steve-O
No, no, no, no. I meant in the opposite, where it's like the fact that, like, you know, release Elpis and you're like, oh, what if it's like the ultimate bio weapon?
01:00:30
ThirstTrapLeon
oh yeah.
01:00:36
ThirstTrapLeon
no it's pretty it's pretty it's pretty No, it's pretty well defined that T-Virus Leon was unable to seal the deal.
01:00:37
Steve-O
Leon would have spin kicked it. It would have been fine.
01:00:43
GraceAsscrack
just He just doesn't turn into a tyrant.
01:00:44
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah. Yeah. um
01:00:46
GraceAsscrack
Because I was afraid...
01:00:46
Steve-O
i
01:00:47
GraceAsscrack
I was afraid... Yo, real talk. I was afraid that the T-Vias was going to turn him into a fucking tyrant and then you'd have to fight him. Like, I was i was pretty...
01:00:55
Steve-O
Oh, dude.
01:00:56
ThirstTrapLeon
But like but like but like what if that was like the bad...
01:00:57
Steve-O
Hmm.
01:00:57
GraceAsscrack
I would have been pissed.
01:00:59
ThirstTrapLeon
If they went there, it would have at least been like interesting. like This is so not interesting that it almost felt just like, Oh, you got the puzzle wrong and her head blew up.
01:01:07
GraceAsscrack
No, because like if they get give you...
01:01:08
Steve-O
Hmm.
01:01:10
GraceAsscrack
Here's the here's and here's like the Neanderthal take on this. like This is my own personal Neanderthal take. if they If they do that, then you kind of just like waste your time fighting this boss, and then the ending doesn't even count because it's the bad ending, and it and it's not canon.
01:01:24
Steve-O
And you'll just reboot your save, like, at that point.
01:01:24
GraceAsscrack
So it's You'll just reboot your save do it again.
01:01:26
ThirstTrapLeon
Right. But but again, the arguments like the argument that I'm making is that they shouldn't have even given you a choice.
01:01:28
GraceAsscrack
You know? That's my Neanderthal take.
01:01:33
ThirstTrapLeon
Like a big choice.
01:01:34
GraceAsscrack
That's how I felt.
01:01:35
Steve-O
Hmm.
01:01:35
GraceAsscrack
That's how I felt at the end of Expedition 33, Devin.
01:01:37
ThirstTrapLeon
Because not...
01:01:39
GraceAsscrack
oh there you go.
01:01:39
ThirstTrapLeon
Oh, God.
01:01:39
Steve-O
Hmm.
01:01:40
GraceAsscrack
There you have it.
01:01:40
Steve-O
that' Hold on, hold on.
01:01:40
ThirstTrapLeon
No, because...
01:01:41
Steve-O
Okay, you brought this...
01:01:41
GraceAsscrack
There you have it.
01:01:42
Steve-O
You brought Resident Evil to a whole dangerous place!
01:01:42
ThirstTrapLeon
No, no, no, no. No, because there's there's like actual quandaries.
01:01:46
GraceAsscrack
Get in there and make this about Expedition 33.
01:01:46
Steve-O
ha ha!
01:01:48
ThirstTrapLeon
There's quandaries and there's an actual ending.
01:01:51
GraceAsscrack
You get in there and make Resident Evil Requiem about Expedition 33.
01:01:52
ThirstTrapLeon
right. My other slight issue, is probably bigger in terms of just the lore consequences. it feels like an It feels like an odd decision to like attempt to rehabilitate Spencer.
01:02:00
GraceAsscrack
Man, this sound like a Mary to me.
01:02:07
ThirstTrapLeon
Like, what? Like, oh, he felt bad. It's like, okay. And I get it. They weren't like, he was a good guy the whole time. Like, I get that they're not doing that, but it's just like nuance and Resident Evil villains just do not mix.
01:02:22
ThirstTrapLeon
And it seems like an odd decision.
01:02:23
GraceAsscrack
Yeah. I guess, but at the same time...
01:02:25
ThirstTrapLeon
They're just he felt bad at the end of his life. It's like, okay.
01:02:30
GraceAsscrack
No, but I mean, if you if you think about it, like, you know, on terms of like global shit, he doesn't even end up being the arbiter of all the stuff that he created anyway.
01:02:33
ThirstTrapLeon
But at least...
01:02:41
Steve-O
Right.
01:02:41
ThirstTrapLeon
Right, yeah, yeah, especially if you read, like, the grace files and all that.
01:02:41
GraceAsscrack
So it's kind of like, it's kind of like an, ah yeah, it's kind of like a, it's kind of like an Oppenheimer situation where, you know, he kind of did it because he did it.
01:02:41
Steve-O
Yeah.
01:02:48
ThirstTrapLeon
a
01:02:51
GraceAsscrack
And then like, I don't want to.
01:02:51
ThirstTrapLeon
No, but see, that's the problem, is people are going to say, it's like, no, he was, like, still actively experimenting on humans, like, in a bad way.
01:02:59
GraceAsscrack
Right, right, right.
01:02:59
Steve-O
yeah
01:03:00
GraceAsscrack
He's still bad, yeah, but at the same time, i kind of kind of liked the fact that they used a very tiny piece of empathy in his in his soul to to create to create what Grace's character essentially was, which was not special.
01:03:11
ThirstTrapLeon
right yeah
01:03:12
Steve-O
Yeah.
01:03:16
Steve-O
I mean, i mean that's what but that's what Grace gave him, too. It's like Grace entered his life and he saw that.
01:03:19
GraceAsscrack
Right. So like ah I'm okay with it. I'm i'm not against it.
01:03:23
Steve-O
I loved it because I also loved Victor Gideon's take on it where he was like, oh, dude, in a world where everyone's using bioweapons, just the ability to take those away.
01:03:25
GraceAsscrack
And I think...
01:03:33
Steve-O
oh that's awesome.
01:03:34
GraceAsscrack
Yeah.
01:03:34
Steve-O
Like, I love that there's like that view of it.
01:03:35
GraceAsscrack
Yeah. And I think that's that take that take of it.
01:03:35
ThirstTrapLeon
yeah
01:03:38
GraceAsscrack
Yeah.
01:03:38
Steve-O
Mm-hmm.
01:03:39
ThirstTrapLeon
He like totally misread it.
01:03:39
GraceAsscrack
Yeah.
01:03:41
ThirstTrapLeon
You think? You think he just misread it? He was like, oh.
01:03:41
GraceAsscrack
So I think, yeah, I think.
01:03:43
Steve-O
I love Victor Gideon. He is probably like one of my top Resident Evil villains in recent memory.
01:03:46
ThirstTrapLeon
Victor Gideon. I think he's my favorite.
01:03:49
GraceAsscrack
He's he might be yeah he like, okay right give me give me top five.
01:03:51
ThirstTrapLeon
He's probably the best one.
01:03:53
GraceAsscrack
Give me top five right now.
01:03:54
Steve-O
i can give you bottom.
01:03:54
ThirstTrapLeon
All right.
01:03:55
Steve-O
It's fucking ah Heisenberg from 8.
01:03:58
GraceAsscrack
that that's what i was told that I was like I feel like Victor Gideon is what they pretty much kind of wanted Heisenberg to become and then they just couldn't get there with with what they were given
01:03:59
ThirstTrapLeon
But it was...
01:04:05
ThirstTrapLeon
yeah
01:04:05
Steve-O
Yeah.
01:04:06
ThirstTrapLeon
I mean, like, in terms of, like like, it's Wesker, Victor Gideon, and then everybody else, I think.
01:04:10
Steve-O
yeah
01:04:13
Steve-O
yeah
01:04:14
ThirstTrapLeon
And, like, Wesker, like, who's is there anyone even close?
01:04:15
GraceAsscrack
okay uh Salazar i love Salazar
01:04:21
Steve-O
Salazar's real good, but ah you know what?
01:04:24
ThirstTrapLeon
No. no, he's a...
01:04:25
Steve-O
I love Salazar. I think Victor Gideon's up there.
01:04:28
ThirstTrapLeon
No, no, because Victor Gideon's, like, he's effective,
01:04:31
Steve-O
I think he's higher than him.
01:04:33
ThirstTrapLeon
He's interesting.
01:04:35
Steve-O
Yeah, just the way he talks.
01:04:35
ThirstTrapLeon
And he does, like, cool shit. like Like, dude, the very first moment where he's, like, walking he's walking away from Leon and he's just needling the people. Like, I was like, that is...
01:04:45
Steve-O
Oh, I love that.
01:04:47
ThirstTrapLeon
So cool. And then you see him, you know, you see him fucking with a rocket launcher chasing on a motorcycle.
01:04:48
Steve-O
a
01:04:54
ThirstTrapLeon
Like, that's so fucking cool.
01:04:54
Steve-O
Yeah.
01:04:56
ThirstTrapLeon
and And then, you know, you kind of have this like little, the little mention nod at the end that he's he's actually like a nemesis project.
01:05:01
GraceAsscrack
I mean, ah in that sense, wouldn't you put him over Wesker then?
01:05:02
Steve-O
He's a nemesis. Yeah, that's fucking awesome.
01:05:07
ThirstTrapLeon
no that's what I mean.
01:05:07
GraceAsscrack
Because wessters because like Wesker's...
01:05:08
ThirstTrapLeon
I think that, I think he's above Wesker.
01:05:10
GraceAsscrack
yeah Because basically just...
01:05:11
ThirstTrapLeon
I'm,
01:05:13
GraceAsscrack
he's your run- of-the-mill like, action villain. And I'm not saying that's a bad thing, because you you kind of need you kind of need a guy like that.
01:05:18
ThirstTrapLeon
No, but he's he's he's kind of stereotypical. and And he's almost a meme of himself at this point, right?
01:05:22
GraceAsscrack
Yeah, but you kind of need that. Yeah, and you're fighting you're fighting the meme, which is fine.
01:05:25
Steve-O
Yeah.
01:05:27
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah. Yeah.
01:05:28
Steve-O
I mean, is that is that what we're calling Zemo?
01:05:28
ThirstTrapLeon
So...
01:05:31
Steve-O
Zemo is the meme?
01:05:32
ThirstTrapLeon
Well, actually actually, you know, maybe maybe another critique is like that they just never...
01:05:32
GraceAsscrack
He's Diet Wesker.
01:05:32
Steve-O
Wesker meme?
01:05:33
GraceAsscrack
I was just calling Diet Wesker. Yeah, was just calling him Diet Wesker.
01:05:39
ThirstTrapLeon
They they introduced Zeno. He's very clearly... I thought he was just going to admit he was Wasker. Because it's like, you're clearly Wesker with a fucking earring.
01:05:51
ThirstTrapLeon
And then they don't pull the trigger.
01:05:51
GraceAsscrack
Well, yeah, I guess they kind of allude to it
01:05:54
ThirstTrapLeon
They don't pull the trigger and then they kill him. Allude that he's like a pot, potentially a clone.
01:05:58
GraceAsscrack
And you only, yeah.
01:06:00
ThirstTrapLeon
But it's just like the fact that there's no data in the game outside like these little things. I'm like, it almost feels like something's missing. Right.
01:06:09
Steve-O
We're going to get a DLC, guaranteed.
01:06:09
ThirstTrapLeon
it's like. Fucking because his gun's sick too, dude.
01:06:14
Steve-O
Oh, he' dude, he's got the fucking Joker gun!
01:06:16
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah, got little Joker gun.
01:06:17
Steve-O
ah
01:06:18
ThirstTrapLeon
And Leon says cool quips about it. He's oh, don't you fancy? And I was like, this fucking rules, dude.
01:06:23
GraceAsscrack
should've wore a helmet.
01:06:25
ThirstTrapLeon
And yeah, such a good line.
01:06:25
GraceAsscrack
You should've wore a helmet.
01:06:28
ThirstTrapLeon
um and And again, like I i am like i am.
01:06:30
GraceAsscrack
Dude, he's in the end.
01:06:30
Steve-O
Leon's top tier quips in this one.
01:06:33
GraceAsscrack
But they're sad. Like, he's sad quips.
01:06:35
Steve-O
They're sad quips.
01:06:35
GraceAsscrack
Like, I mean, yeah.
01:06:36
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah, yeah, because he's he has AIDS. He has T-Virus AIDS, dude. Like he's on his way out.
01:06:40
GraceAsscrack
And like, you know, and like, guess aside from the Grace stuff, like, you know, maybe this is just nostalgia and just being a fucking, like,
01:06:42
Steve-O
Dude, when...
01:06:46
Steve-O
Yeah.
01:06:52
GraceAsscrack
like day zero, like die hard for the series. But like, I was a little emotional, like seeing Leon go back in the RPD. Like it, like it like really like tug at me a little bit.
01:07:01
Steve-O
Yeah.
01:07:01
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah. I know. I think that's, they really, they really nailed that.
01:07:05
GraceAsscrack
You know, I was like, shit, dude.
01:07:07
ThirstTrapLeon
Um,
01:07:08
GraceAsscrack
It's really good. You know, like.
01:07:10
Steve-O
yeah
01:07:10
ThirstTrapLeon
Like, i I was, dude, when when you get to that point where, like, you could see the tanker in the car, I was like, Jenny, come here. Look, did you, this is, like, I was showing her.
01:07:18
GraceAsscrack
This is important.
01:07:18
Steve-O
with
01:07:19
GraceAsscrack
This is important.
01:07:20
ThirstTrapLeon
was like, look, that's the tanker that blew up, and there's the car.
01:07:21
GraceAsscrack
there's the Statue of Liberty. It's just like, know,
01:07:23
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah, like, I was showing her. I was like, oh, it's so fucking sick. cause And again, like, I've mentioned this a few times, but, like, to reiterate, I have been replaying the modern Resident Evil games, like, in the weeks prior to this.
01:07:35
ThirstTrapLeon
So, Resident Evil 2 Remake was very fresh in my brain.
01:07:39
Steve-O
yeah.
01:07:39
ThirstTrapLeon
Same with three remake for skipped seven because I played that like two years ago, but I was I was playing eight the day of nine coming out. Right. So I'm very, very fresh on all of this.
01:07:50
ThirstTrapLeon
So i was like, oh, my God, so sick. But like, again, in terms of like the nostalgia player, quote unquote, like nostalgia play, I don't think it's very rare to nail it as hard as they did with the RPD stuff.
01:08:04
GraceAsscrack
Yeah, and then they fucking, they even threw, like, it wasn't constant, but, like, the fucking RPD, like, soundtrack chime would just come in at the most, like, opportune moments.
01:08:05
Steve-O
oh yeah
01:08:16
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah, dude.
01:08:18
GraceAsscrack
Like, the quietest moments, you'll just hear it. The do-do-do-do-do. And I was just like, oh, man, this is fucking, this is crazy.
01:08:25
ThirstTrapLeon
You know, you know what actually weirdly
01:08:26
GraceAsscrack
I'm like, all these fucking millennials that didn't want Leon in this game, they have no idea, they're not they're not getting the full experience from this game.
01:08:29
Steve-O
They don't know.
01:08:33
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah. You know what kind of weirdly stuck with me is so the coolest one of the coolest things I think is like there's only like two zombies in the whole police department because obviously a nuke went off like fucking five miles away from it.
01:08:34
GraceAsscrack
you know Yeah.
01:08:45
Steve-O
yeah
01:08:50
ThirstTrapLeon
But Leon sees that one zombie and it's not like he he doesn't quote like quip. But he's just like so sad because he's like, oh, man.
01:09:00
ThirstTrapLeon
Like he he says like a comment.
01:09:01
GraceAsscrack
Yeah, he was like, he what did he say? He was just like, He's just like rest in peace officer or something or something like that.
01:09:05
ThirstTrapLeon
He didn't.
01:09:07
Steve-O
Yeah.
01:09:07
GraceAsscrack
like He says something like that.
01:09:08
ThirstTrapLeon
It wasn't even like he wasn't like Jesus Christ, but he's just like disappointed and disgusted.
01:09:13
GraceAsscrack
Oh, he's like rest easy or something.
01:09:13
ThirstTrapLeon
it
01:09:15
GraceAsscrack
Yeah.
01:09:15
Steve-O
That's right. Rest easy, officer.
01:09:15
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah.
01:09:16
Steve-O
Or something.
01:09:16
GraceAsscrack
That's the easy officer.
01:09:16
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah. He's like disappointed and disgusted that they're still he's like it really bums him out.
01:09:20
GraceAsscrack
and easy yeah That Yeah.
01:09:22
ThirstTrapLeon
He's like, oh, my God, they're still here.
01:09:23
GraceAsscrack
That he wasn't able to do it. That he wasn't able to
01:09:25
Steve-O
He wasn't able to kill them all.
01:09:25
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah, yeah. But like...
01:09:27
Steve-O
There was two left. Yeah.
01:09:29
ThirstTrapLeon
um Whoa! So like...
01:09:31
GraceAsscrack
to... Two dog tags he didn't get.
01:09:32
ThirstTrapLeon
i Yeah.
01:09:34
Steve-O
but
01:09:35
ThirstTrapLeon
So like...
01:09:35
GraceAsscrack
and is It is COD campaign.
01:09:37
ThirstTrapLeon
And again, so you you're you're going through the mansion and then and then you have the nice little confluence of events, right? You you get there, you you see basically Albert Wesker and I was like, oh my God, because they had never met.
01:09:52
ThirstTrapLeon
And he does the fucking, the Wesker dodge. And I was like, this is so fucking sick.
01:09:54
GraceAsscrack
Yeah.
01:09:57
ThirstTrapLeon
And then the fucking Mr.
01:09:59
GraceAsscrack
and they
01:09:59
ThirstTrapLeon
X shows up.
01:10:00
Steve-O
Oh my God, dude.
01:10:00
ThirstTrapLeon
And I was like, this is so fucking sick.
01:10:01
GraceAsscrack
Oh, man. Did you scream? i screamed. I was like, yes!
01:10:03
Steve-O
Dude, I did the, yeah.
01:10:03
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah, dude. Yeah. So I was.
01:10:05
Steve-O
Dude, when he punches Leon and Leon's like, oh, I didn't miss that.
01:10:09
ThirstTrapLeon
I remember that. Yeah.
01:10:10
Steve-O
Yeah.
01:10:10
GraceAsscrack
Yeah. Yeah.
01:10:11
Steve-O
Yeah.
01:10:11
GraceAsscrack
yeah
01:10:12
ThirstTrapLeon
I remember that. Yeah, dude. and And again, it's like I told both of you this, but I really think it's a deliberate choice with some of the sound design. Like when you're walking around RPD as Leon, I swear to God, it's the same sound effect as when Mr. X was doing stomping around RE2 remake.
01:10:31
ThirstTrapLeon
Like he's just because he's the fucking danger, you know, in that point.
01:10:34
Steve-O
Yeah, Leon's definitely beefier and heavier to move in comparison to remake or for remake, in my opinion.
01:10:35
GraceAsscrack
yeah
01:10:38
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah. and and it was just And it was just sick because it's like, yeah, Leon from RE4... would have cooked ne or Mr. X, right?
01:10:50
ThirstTrapLeon
And then Leon in RE8, basically, you know, he's treated as a fucking mini boss, which is like appropriate and it's sick.
01:10:50
GraceAsscrack
Yeah,
01:10:51
Steve-O
Hmm.
01:10:57
ThirstTrapLeon
And it's just like, it does exactly what you want it to do. Plus the cool callbacks um with like the stars puzzle, the tofu.
01:11:06
Steve-O
Yeah.
01:11:08
ThirstTrapLeon
um Yeah, which funny enough, John didn't see.
01:11:08
Steve-O
The Rebecca photo in the book.
01:11:14
GraceAsscrack
yeah i didn't see that one.
01:11:15
Steve-O
Dude, that's because when you open up Wesker's drawer, you got to like fucking click on it a bunch of times.
01:11:20
GraceAsscrack
Yeah.
01:11:20
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah, got wait like two seconds for But it...
01:11:21
GraceAsscrack
Yeah. I remember seeing that photo, though, and I think, RE2 remake. I think that same photo is in there.
01:11:27
Steve-O
Yeah.
01:11:27
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah. But it's funny.
01:11:28
Steve-O
That's the same exact one.
01:11:29
ThirstTrapLeon
It's funny, though, because John still did... He's like, oh, I opened a briefcase. And I said, how? You didn't get the picture. And he's like, I just guessed.
01:11:35
GraceAsscrack
Oh, I just tried. You guys don't just try fucking random shit when you first see it?
01:11:38
ThirstTrapLeon
I mean, every I tried a little bit, but I...
01:11:40
Steve-O
They do an interesting thing with that briefcase one because they make it so slow to tumble on that one specifically.
01:11:40
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah.
01:11:45
GraceAsscrack
They do.
01:11:47
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah.
01:11:47
GraceAsscrack
Yeah, so I was looking for RPD. I don't think RPD was possible.
01:11:50
Steve-O
You got to think of the movie?
01:11:51
GraceAsscrack
But I was like, let me just try RRR, my favorite movie.
01:11:53
ThirstTrapLeon
you yeah That's very funny that they've just popped for you though.
01:11:54
GraceAsscrack
my My favorite movie of all time.
01:11:54
Steve-O
you
01:11:56
GraceAsscrack
Let me try this. No, no, but also, you know, because started with R and i was like, let me just, I usually do like a couple quick checks and then if I can't do it get it, then it's whatever.
01:12:06
GraceAsscrack
I'll figure it i'll figure it out later.
01:12:07
Steve-O
Yeah. On the back of the photo, it says like radical rookie Rebecca, like something stupid like that.
01:12:12
ThirstTrapLeon
yeah Yeah. Yeah. Rising rookie Rebecca, or I'm sorry.
01:12:16
Steve-O
That's it. Yeah.
01:12:17
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah. Yeah.
01:12:18
GraceAsscrack
What do you even get from that?
01:12:19
ThirstTrapLeon
It's,
01:12:19
GraceAsscrack
You got the the sunglass charm from that?
01:12:21
ThirstTrapLeon
You get the magnum charm, which is the sunglasses, which is, it's a pretty sick charm.
01:12:21
Steve-O
You get the sunglass charm. Hmm.
01:12:26
ThirstTrapLeon
um and And just even before that, like, one of my perceived complaints was I was like, man, it just kind of feels like Leon's so fun, but I'm only Leon for a little bit.
01:12:39
ThirstTrapLeon
And then once you open up and you're in, like, the outskirts of the city or wherever you are, and then you get the chest, and then it's, like, has all the guns and the points and all that, and I was like,
01:12:44
Steve-O
yeah.
01:12:47
Steve-O
Mm
01:12:47
GraceAsscrack
Yeah. Yeah, so yeah, let me talk about that.
01:12:50
ThirstTrapLeon
Yes! Yeah.
01:12:52
GraceAsscrack
Because like, that's a really, really fucking cool way to just streamline Leon's part and not make it a cumbers cumbers a cumbersome experience, but still make it the same, essentially, as Resident Evil 4, right? They're like, let's just do it. And it makes sense. kind of I mean, I don't want to say like, oh, yeah, you earn money.
01:13:15
GraceAsscrack
But like, they make it kind of make sense in the context of the world, right?
01:13:19
Steve-O
I mean, in Resident Evil 3, it's all about combat experience, right?
01:13:19
ThirstTrapLeon
It makes as much sense as ah as a Combat data.
01:13:22
Steve-O
Data.
01:13:23
GraceAsscrack
Right, yeah.
01:13:24
Steve-O
Combat data. Yeah.
01:13:24
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah, it makes as much sense as a merchant does, essentially, like in terms of like what makes sense in this world.
01:13:26
GraceAsscrack
Perfect dodge.
01:13:31
ThirstTrapLeon
like Yeah, a merchant's always welcome, right?
01:13:31
Steve-O
and
01:13:35
ThirstTrapLeon
That's always kind of sick, but like this is fine.
01:13:37
GraceAsscrack
Yeah, I love my merchants, man.
01:13:37
Steve-O
yeah
01:13:39
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah, just just getting...
01:13:40
GraceAsscrack
This is fine.
01:13:40
ThirstTrapLeon
Mm-hmm.
01:13:41
GraceAsscrack
My only, my nitpick... Okay, well, before I get to my nitpick, I love that specific, like... mechanic to Leon's gameplay because it like it's the opposite of grace they're like how many fucking zombies can you kill in each section before coming back to save like they like kind of like make you want to be more aggressive as Leon which you should be anyway but like that's how they kind of like kind of like game design tail tailor you to play the game they want to they want you to play as opposed to like you know, playing, you play half the game as Grace, and then you're kind of like, you know, if, I don't know if you, if people use the same perspective for both, but if you're using the same perspective for both characters, it might, like, and especially if you don't have that much experience with the series at all, it might just force you to try to play the same way the whole time, and you really shouldn't.
01:13:52
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah. in
01:13:58
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah.
01:14:07
Steve-O
Yeah.
01:14:07
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah. Yeah, like, no, now you're going to hunt.
01:14:37
ThirstTrapLeon
easily
01:14:42
GraceAsscrack
that The way you get the most out of it is by fucking shredding flesh with Leon, and they're like,
01:14:42
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah.
01:14:47
Steve-O
Oh, yeah.
01:14:48
GraceAsscrack
You're going to do it. This is how you do it.
01:14:49
ThirstTrapLeon
And that air that area is so well tailored because it's like, oh, this is a big sandbox area.
01:14:54
Steve-O
Mm-hmm.
01:14:54
GraceAsscrack
Yeah. Yeah.
01:14:55
ThirstTrapLeon
So like you're going to want to explore four points.
01:14:57
GraceAsscrack
You're going to want to explore.
01:14:57
Steve-O
Go check out the gas station, stuff like that.
01:14:58
GraceAsscrack
your Yeah. you yeah they we You're going to want to backtrack and we're not going to make it old school horror backtracking where you're scared all the time. It's like, oh, let me go back there.
01:15:08
GraceAsscrack
See what's over there anyway, even though it's dark because I'm i'm the Terminator and nothing's going to get in my way. Right.
01:15:16
Steve-O
a
01:15:16
GraceAsscrack
So that was really cool. My nitpick though. um And I know this is like purely a microscopic nitpick, I would say in the grand scheme of things, because you can't just expect them to, to like go this deep, but it would have been kind of cool to just have more gun variety.
01:15:36
GraceAsscrack
Like, cause the, the guns work, you know, like the alligators, alligator snapper, really like that's, I mean,
01:15:38
Steve-O
I agree. Yeah. I would have loved to get a ah broken black tail.
01:15:46
GraceAsscrack
That's the the handgun I ended up using the most, but it's like, dude, throw me a fucking, book just give me red, knife give me the red nine, dude, like something, you know?
01:15:49
Steve-O
Mm-hmm.
01:15:55
Steve-O
i so I switched in my original to the Silence Nine, and it's fine.
01:16:00
GraceAsscrack
Because it had nine in it.
01:16:00
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah.
01:16:01
GraceAsscrack
so if
01:16:02
Steve-O
It's good. um But i'm I'm doing a second playthrough now, and I made sure I bought with my endgame points, I bought the Matilda Imp.
01:16:04
ThirstTrapLeon
mean, it's a better gun, yeah.
01:16:11
GraceAsscrack
Matilda, yeah.
01:16:12
Steve-O
And like that, oh my goodness, once you get like all the the stuff on it, yeah, you're just like shredding people.
01:16:16
GraceAsscrack
Okay, it's three bursts. It's three bursts. Yeah.
01:16:19
Steve-O
it feels It feels good.
01:16:21
GraceAsscrack
Yeah, but it's like... What did I what did i tell you, Devin? What was my my loadout? Okay, so like...
01:16:26
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah, yeah.
01:16:26
GraceAsscrack
The sniper... The sniper that you find in the bsa BSAA chest is like is dog shit. The fucking semi-auto one. Like, it was bad.
01:16:35
Steve-O
Yeah.
01:16:36
GraceAsscrack
I was like, I can't use this. So I sold it. I just stuck with the the classic fucking bolt action.
01:16:40
Steve-O
Same here. Yeah.
01:16:42
GraceAsscrack
which is Which was really good. Ended up being really useful... in the end game stuff because you could just, you could just pop those, the plant 43 ceilings pretty much one shot them.
01:16:46
Steve-O
It's so powerful.
01:16:51
ThirstTrapLeon
e
01:16:51
Steve-O
Hmm.
01:16:52
GraceAsscrack
And then, um, the other thing was, Oh, so I, I couldn't decide cause I, I upgraded the, they that's the other thing. They made it too easy to max out your gun with upgrades too.
01:17:04
GraceAsscrack
Like, cause there's only a couple upgrades for each thing.
01:17:06
ThirstTrapLeon
yeah
01:17:07
GraceAsscrack
And, um, cause like, you know, Resident Evil four, You got to get through this tier of of upgrades, then you can get you can get more stuff later.
01:17:17
GraceAsscrack
i was kind of waiting for that, especially when you see the note saying that you get weapon upgrades somewhere in and an RPD, but it wasn't.
01:17:17
Steve-O
Oh,
01:17:26
ThirstTrapLeon
Well, there there is a Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:17:27
Steve-O
in like the garage, the parking garage. Oh.
01:17:29
ThirstTrapLeon
I mean, there is a challenge where if you did...
01:17:30
GraceAsscrack
But it was just the shotgun.
01:17:32
ThirstTrapLeon
i think it's if you shoot all the the statues. Like, you unlock a new tier of upgrade. But it's but it's tied behind a challenge.
01:17:38
GraceAsscrack
Oh, really? But it's like hidden. It's hidden.
01:17:41
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah, you gotta... Yeah.
01:17:42
GraceAsscrack
Oh, it's challenge. Yeah, so so what what I ended up doing, Steve, I told this to Devin before, was I couldn't decide because like I upgraded the TAC-99 shotgun all the way up, and it was really useful.
01:17:43
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah.
01:17:56
Steve-O
yeah
01:17:58
GraceAsscrack
I even put the site on it, so it was like you know really good for um close combat shit, like you know crowd control. But then you get and you get fucking Kendo's shotgun, right?
01:18:10
GraceAsscrack
And that shotgun is so good that it's incredible, dude.
01:18:13
ThirstTrapLeon
that's shock Oh, yeah.
01:18:13
Steve-O
Is it?
01:18:15
GraceAsscrack
That thing is a beast.
01:18:15
ThirstTrapLeon
Oh, you didn't mess around with that one, Steve?
01:18:16
Steve-O
oh No, I didn't because I saw the stats.
01:18:18
GraceAsscrack
Steve, it's... No, no, no, dude.
01:18:20
Steve-O
Oh.
01:18:21
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah.
01:18:21
GraceAsscrack
It's a beast, dude.
01:18:22
GraceAsscrack
I think <unk> i think that's the gun that I used to take... I didn't even use the Requiem once on on the Tyrant. And then... Yeah, because I just had two shotguns. I didn't have to reload them.
01:18:37
GraceAsscrack
So I...
01:18:37
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah, you just swapped for...
01:18:38
Steve-O
Oh, that makes sense.
01:18:39
GraceAsscrack
Yeah, so I just switched from one shotgun to the other when I ran out of ammo, and then I just had, like, basically 20... just basically had 20 shotgun rounds that were fully upgraded at that point.
01:18:48
Steve-O
Hmm.
01:18:51
GraceAsscrack
So, yeah, so I ran around with fucking two shotguns. But, you know, I mean, it's Resident Evil 4 Leon, so you just have everything.
01:18:57
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah.
01:18:59
GraceAsscrack
I just wish, you know, the handgun... I just wish the handgun...
01:19:03
ThirstTrapLeon
Variety.
01:19:05
GraceAsscrack
Yeah, the handgun variety... wish the handgun variety was better, because...
01:19:08
Steve-O
Yeah.
01:19:08
GraceAsscrack
and
01:19:09
ThirstTrapLeon
i I dug the Silence Nine, but like, I just wish it wasn't silent. Like, I don't know.
01:19:14
Steve-O
Right, like the fact that he's like, felt wimpy.
01:19:14
ThirstTrapLeon
It's. Yeah. And I was like, no, want something that little beast.
01:19:18
GraceAsscrack
No, I want something loud.
01:19:18
ThirstTrapLeon
thee Yeah, dude.
01:19:20
GraceAsscrack
I like the name all i like to name Alligator Snapper, but like it just seems like the nomenclature for the guns took a downgrade.
01:19:20
Steve-O
It does you more damage, but it's not.
01:19:29
GraceAsscrack
Because you go from Red 9, Blacktail, Broken Butterfly, Killer 7.
01:19:32
Steve-O
Blacktail.
01:19:35
Steve-O
I was waiting to see one of those. Just one.
01:19:38
GraceAsscrack
Yeah, something.
01:19:39
Steve-O
Mm-hmm.
01:19:39
GraceAsscrack
Give me one. yeah but Just give me one. you know It doesn't matter which one. Give me give me the Silver Ghost from... Resident Evil 4 remake. Give me the SG-09 too. Like, give me something, you know?
01:19:50
GraceAsscrack
Don't give me this fucking base-ass DSO handgun that they... Like, even says in the description, like, oh, this the standard issue for DSO. I'm like, no.
01:19:58
Steve-O
Standard.
01:19:58
GraceAsscrack
This is fucking...
01:19:58
Steve-O
Leon's not standard issue.
01:19:59
GraceAsscrack
This is Leon fucking Kennedy, dude.
01:20:02
Steve-O
I guess Requiem is his non-standard issue gun.
01:20:02
GraceAsscrack
Like... I guess. But, like, yeah, maybe they wanted to keep it so that you have one legendary weapon and it's the the Requiem and, like, that you want to just keep it that way.
01:20:13
Steve-O
Yeah.
01:20:14
GraceAsscrack
um But that Did you guys end up using that a lot as grace?
01:20:19
Steve-O
ah
01:20:20
ThirstTrapLeon
What, the Requiem?
01:20:22
GraceAsscrack
and It really was a get out of jail for free card.
01:20:24
Steve-O
i Yeah. i I held off as much as possible because i knew I was going to be fighting some stuff probably.
01:20:25
ThirstTrapLeon
It was.
01:20:25
GraceAsscrack
And it doesn't...
01:20:27
ThirstTrapLeon
i I'll be honest. it's It's actually a slight complaint that I had. is um
01:20:34
GraceAsscrack
too easy but to use as grace.
01:20:35
ThirstTrapLeon
No, no. I didn't like how much of a pain in the ass it was to craft ammo for it.
01:20:42
GraceAsscrack
Yeah. I mean, it has to be.
01:20:42
ThirstTrapLeon
Because you can only get the rare metals for lockpicking.
01:20:43
Steve-O
Oh, yeah, the rare metal.
01:20:46
ThirstTrapLeon
But then each...
01:20:46
GraceAsscrack
evan You know what? That's a good thing, though.
01:20:48
ThirstTrapLeon
No, no. but I'm saying this is my argument. I don't like that you can't stack the rare metal. Like, each rare metal is its own slot.
01:20:56
GraceAsscrack
Dude.
01:20:56
Steve-O
Oh, in the inventory? I didn't know that.
01:20:57
ThirstTrapLeon
So I kept finding myself...
01:20:57
GraceAsscrack
Bro.
01:20:59
ThirstTrapLeon
And so by the time i had enough, i was I kind of didn't need it, right? Because I was loaded up on fucking Hema Goblin or Exploders or whatever.
01:21:05
Steve-O
Yeah.
01:21:06
GraceAsscrack
Yeah. Yeah. and you have low albumven He him he he he injectors.
01:21:08
Steve-O
Mm-hmm.
01:21:09
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah, yeah, those injectors. So, like... i ah i just I just wiped everybody in the hospital at that point.
01:21:09
GraceAsscrack
Yeah.
01:21:15
GraceAsscrack
But it's like.
01:21:15
Steve-O
Yeah. Yeah.
01:21:16
ThirstTrapLeon
Like, I didn't need it.
01:21:17
GraceAsscrack
But it was like the perfect Resident Evil 2 OG throwback, where you like where you blast you blast the crowd with the with the magnum, and then you can just run away.
01:21:23
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah. it like And listen, I will.
01:21:28
ThirstTrapLeon
Now, you you know what my most satisfying moment was? as ah um I'm creeping. I'm creeping around. I'm like near the end of my time in that in that hospital area.
01:21:28
GraceAsscrack
like that's how i That's how they used it.
01:21:28
Steve-O
yeah
01:21:39
ThirstTrapLeon
or the hotel, whatever it's called, right? And I, yeah, Rhodes Hill and the the fucking chef who had been the number one guy who killed me every time.
01:21:42
GraceAsscrack
Road to Hill.
01:21:47
Steve-O
Oh, Meat Man.
01:21:50
GraceAsscrack
Oh, man, he's the goat.
01:21:50
ThirstTrapLeon
he was the dude
01:21:51
Steve-O
He's got, dude, he's got a combo hit that insta-kills you.
01:21:53
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah, he's got the combo hit, and like before you even get anything, he would just cleave you, and then he'd just dig.
01:21:54
GraceAsscrack
Yeah.
01:21:54
Steve-O
Mm-hmm.
01:21:58
ThirstTrapLeon
It was a one hit, right?
01:22:00
Steve-O
Mm-hmm.
01:22:00
ThirstTrapLeon
This guy kicked my ass the entire fucking time, and then I finally had enough bullets.
01:22:01
GraceAsscrack
Hell yeah.
01:22:07
ThirstTrapLeon
Because I shot him with the Requiem, and he didn't go down, and I was like...
01:22:09
GraceAsscrack
You had like 12 bullets in your reserve, so you're just like, I'm going it down.
01:22:11
ThirstTrapLeon
No, and and he's he's in like the the the dining hall and he's just chopping meat and I was just creeping.
01:22:16
Steve-O
yeah
01:22:17
ThirstTrapLeon
i was crouched and I just shot, I one shot and blew his fucking head off. And then the trophy popped and I was like, that was so goddamn satisfying. Because I knew he, and and it was like a bonus because I didn't even see the note.
01:22:32
ThirstTrapLeon
I was like, I bet you he has the key to the pantry.
01:22:35
GraceAsscrack
Yeah, of course he does.
01:22:35
ThirstTrapLeon
So it was like my intuition.
01:22:37
Steve-O
it's a little more word
01:22:38
ThirstTrapLeon
crouched. I just it was so cathartic to blow that fucking dude's head off. And it was like really so like he just but and went sideways and I got the pantry, got all this extra dope shit.
01:22:45
GraceAsscrack
Yeah.
01:22:48
ThirstTrapLeon
And I was like, God, that felt good, you know?
01:22:51
Steve-O
You know you know what also felt good?
01:22:51
ThirstTrapLeon
And.
01:22:52
GraceAsscrack
Yeah.
01:22:53
Steve-O
Sticking him with a hemolytic ah injection.
01:22:56
ThirstTrapLeon
Oh.
01:22:56
GraceAsscrack
how I think that's why i killed how I killed him.
01:22:58
ThirstTrapLeon
Oh, that's what you got him with.
01:22:59
Steve-O
He pops.
01:23:00
GraceAsscrack
Yeah.
01:23:00
Steve-O
Dude, you can do it on the fucking chunky big guy
01:23:03
ThirstTrapLeon
Can you?
01:23:03
Steve-O
Like the one that fills up the whole eye.
01:23:04
GraceAsscrack
Yeah. Oh, i didn't i didn't know you could do it on him.
01:23:05
Steve-O
You have to hit him with three.
01:23:08
GraceAsscrack
Three injectors?
01:23:08
ThirstTrapLeon
Oh my
01:23:09
Steve-O
You need to do three injectors.
01:23:09
GraceAsscrack
Bro!
01:23:11
ThirstTrapLeon
That's probably worth it.
01:23:11
GraceAsscrack
How much blood did you use? Oh my god.
01:23:14
Steve-O
Yeah, it was a lot. But here's the thing. He drops a special charm.
01:23:18
ThirstTrapLeon
Fuck. I got to it.
01:23:20
GraceAsscrack
What's the charm? What's it do?
01:23:20
Steve-O
ah The charm, ah it makes sure that, like, you know any attack that would, like, insta-kill you.
01:23:27
GraceAsscrack
Yeah.
01:23:27
Steve-O
It basically leaves you down to one. So, like, it's like a get-out-of-jail-free card.
01:23:30
ThirstTrapLeon
Oh, okay.
01:23:31
ThirstTrapLeon
No, that's useful. Thank you.
01:23:31
GraceAsscrack
Oh, it's um Last Stand.
01:23:33
Steve-O
It's like Last Stand.
01:23:33
GraceAsscrack
It's a Call Duty last stand.
01:23:34
Steve-O
Yeah.
01:23:35
ThirstTrapLeon
ah No, because that's another challenge I didn't do, which is like kill the fat guy as as Grace.
01:23:38
GraceAsscrack
Oh, man. That's cool. That's... the
01:23:42
Steve-O
Hmm?
01:23:43
ThirstTrapLeon
And I was like, dude, I just don't have... I don't have to...
01:23:46
GraceAsscrack
Man, Grace is so fucking...
01:23:48
ThirstTrapLeon
Dude, so...
01:23:48
GraceAsscrack
She's got no space. She's got no inventory space, bro.
01:23:50
ThirstTrapLeon
She really doesn't, dude.
01:23:51
Steve-O
yeah Dude, you are like literally like making concessions throughout that entire game.
01:23:55
GraceAsscrack
reg you
01:23:56
ThirstTrapLeon
Which is, again, it's like the point. and and i guess And I guess to just really jump into it, because we're glazing Leon, playing as Grace is...
01:23:58
GraceAsscrack
Classic. Yeah, it's classic.
01:23:59
Steve-O
home Yeah.
01:24:05
ThirstTrapLeon
very, it's like, I understand the goal of what they were going for and they nailed it.
01:24:11
GraceAsscrack
They got it.
01:24:12
ThirstTrapLeon
Like they, it wasn't like, oh, I see what they were going for.
01:24:12
GraceAsscrack
Yeah, they nailed it, dude.
01:24:15
ThirstTrapLeon
It didn't quite work. Like, nah, dude, this works.
01:24:16
GraceAsscrack
Nah, dude. Nah, they got it.
01:24:17
Steve-O
The fear is there.
01:24:18
GraceAsscrack
Yeah.
01:24:18
ThirstTrapLeon
And it works and it works throughout, throughout the end of the game.
01:24:18
Steve-O
The horror is there.
01:24:19
GraceAsscrack
The contrast... Yeah, the contrast... Yeah, because yeah the one thing I want to point out is like... In the end, when you're in Ark... Like, you go through...
01:24:29
GraceAsscrack
you fucking... you fucking you you You go through with Leon... And then... You're like, oh, it's grace time, right? So like...
01:24:37
Steve-O
yeah Right, yeah.
01:24:38
GraceAsscrack
After like, clearing out... Hordes of fucking... dudes with Leon then you got to play as Grace and it's like oh fuck there's licker on the wall i have two bullets how am I gonna get through this and it's it's really like my my like one of my most satisfying moments was like just getting the the magnetic key where and I'm even like I didn't blow anybody's head off Devin but what I did it was classic Resident Evil just classic Resident Evil like you know like um
01:24:42
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah.
01:24:48
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah.
01:24:50
Steve-O
Yeah.
01:25:00
ThirstTrapLeon
yeah
01:25:00
Steve-O
yeah
01:25:12
GraceAsscrack
just like thought thought process where there's two liquors. I used an empty bottle, got them grouped up through a fucking acid on a bottle of acid on them.
01:25:21
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah.
01:25:23
GraceAsscrack
They die. But then id go into the room to get the key and there's two fucking like regular zombies in there.
01:25:30
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah,
01:25:30
GraceAsscrack
So, you know what i did? i just popped, I popped each of them once in the head and just ran by them. And it just, it, it took me back to old school resident evil.
01:25:38
ThirstTrapLeon
because even at the end of the game, you still have to like conserve for with her.
01:25:38
Steve-O
Mm-hmm.
01:25:42
GraceAsscrack
You still got to fucking – yeah, you still – dude, yeah, there was a – yeah, and then there was a moment where there was another, I think, liquor or something chasing me, and I just fucking – Mission Impossible fucking threw the key in the thing and went through the door the very last second.
01:25:42
Steve-O
You're weaving and
01:26:00
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah.
01:26:00
GraceAsscrack
And I was just like, yeah, this is it.
01:26:02
GraceAsscrack
This is him.
01:26:02
Steve-O
this it's everything they everything they did with grace is far and away like everything that was kind of like old school resident evil and it fixed all the kind of like weirdities that ethan from seven and eight had where none of that was like like there was scares there definitely but you know it was weird
01:26:04
GraceAsscrack
This movie is him.
01:26:28
ThirstTrapLeon
was mostly just him receiving insane amount of damage and then putting his limbs back on. He's like, that was weird.
01:26:34
Steve-O
Yeah, like, I'm so glad that, like, whenever he was, like, whenever Grace was healing, it wasn't her pouring fucking sauce all over her hands.
01:26:34
GraceAsscrack
Yeah. Yeah.
01:26:42
GraceAsscrack
Yeah, the Robitas and shit.
01:26:43
Steve-O
Yeah, like, they actually did it where, like, you know, you stick yourself with, like, the little injector to heal.
01:26:43
GraceAsscrack
Yeah.
01:26:48
Steve-O
Like, it's like, all right, this makes sense to me.
01:26:49
GraceAsscrack
Yeah.
01:26:50
Steve-O
I get it.
01:26:52
GraceAsscrack
Nah, it's so, like...
01:26:54
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah.
01:26:55
GraceAsscrack
It's so humbling, and then, you know, even going back to Leon, too, it's like... There there was one part where there was, like, 12 Lakers that just fucking... whored to do towards the end and that was probably the only time i was actually kind of stressed as leon i think i actually did yeah and then there's just like like there's like 15 lakers or some shit it was it i was like
01:27:10
Steve-O
Oh, when you're waiting for the elevator?
01:27:18
ThirstTrapLeon
i don't know what happened, but I killed all the liquors before the ah the elevator even happened.
01:27:25
GraceAsscrack
yeah no no i yeah i it wasn't it was right before the elevator but i ended up i i sniped a couple of them and then like 10 ran into the corridor.
01:27:35
GraceAsscrack
I was hiding it. So good thing. Good thing. I had two shotguns fully loaded because the, the other thing was, I, you,
01:27:40
Steve-O
That's a good call.
01:27:40
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah.
01:27:40
Steve-O
Yeah.
01:27:42
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah, there was a point where I pulled out the Requiem and I was going to town because I was like, I can't. I can't deal with all these goddamn Lickers.
01:27:47
GraceAsscrack
dude, I didn't, I feel like I, I feel I didn't use the Requiem at all with Leon towards the end.
01:27:52
ThirstTrapLeon
You know what?
01:27:53
GraceAsscrack
Just cause I,
01:27:53
ThirstTrapLeon
Again, micro micro complaint.
01:27:54
Steve-O
I was saving it too much.
01:27:57
ThirstTrapLeon
ah Well, that's what we all do with the Magnum rounds, right?
01:27:57
Steve-O
Hmm.
01:27:59
ThirstTrapLeon
Micro complaint. The gun is too expensive to upgrade. I was like, ah this is I don't I'd rather upgrade my my other guns than this thing.
01:28:05
GraceAsscrack
Yeah. No, no, no. It's it's classic. it's classic like You don't upgrade those. You don't upgrade you know't upgrade the Broken Butterfly on the first on the first on the first playthrough because it's kind of pointless because it's already like mega powerful anyway, so it's it's kind of like diminishing returns at that point.
01:28:12
ThirstTrapLeon
You don't like need to, really. Yeah.
01:28:21
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah. But, you know, I was like, oh, yeah, I'll upgrade. It was like 10,000 points. And I was like, I don't have.
01:28:26
GraceAsscrack
Yeah, fuck that.
01:28:27
ThirstTrapLeon
Come on, man.
01:28:28
Steve-O
yeah
01:28:28
GraceAsscrack
Yeah, you I'd rather get us ah No, but but I guess my issue too is like...
01:28:29
ThirstTrapLeon
Goddamn.
01:28:32
GraceAsscrack
i was playing it like resident evil 4 and i first thing i did was upgrade the handgun and i ended up not even using the handgun that much uh even towards the end yeah it was the shotgun and then and the sniper and the um uh fucking who yeah who am i 2026 but i'm using a fucking smg as as as leon kennedy but that was
01:28:42
ThirstTrapLeon
Mm, yeah.
01:28:50
ThirstTrapLeon
The SMG?
01:28:56
Steve-O
Yeah, dude, at that end part, they are pouring out those machine gun bullets for you.
01:29:01
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah.
01:29:02
GraceAsscrack
Yeah, but like, it's like half a clip of the SMG. Yeah, yeah, they're they're giving you all the bullets. So I was like, I probably shouldn't sell this just because, I mean, a part of me wanted to sell it with the with the theory that they would drop more of the bullets of the guns I did have.
01:29:18
GraceAsscrack
So maybe, and like, maybe there's something there. But I had so much reserve ammo and you can't sell ammo.
01:29:20
Steve-O
No.
01:29:23
GraceAsscrack
So it's like, ah like I was like, I'll just use it.
01:29:24
Steve-O
no
01:29:27
GraceAsscrack
And I didn't even i didn't even get the the fancy SMG. I just used the... the
01:29:30
Steve-O
The basic one, that's the one I did too.
01:29:31
GraceAsscrack
the regular yeah the uzi yeah and it's like yeah and then it's like like for you it's like half a clip took out a liquor so it was like that was that's two liquors right there and then i had like 17 shotgun shells ready for the other ones
01:29:32
Steve-O
Yeah, it sounds like we played very similarly, John.
01:29:44
Steve-O
Yeah.
Leon and Hunk's Climactic Encounter
01:29:46
GraceAsscrack
so i didn't really use grenades that much either which
01:29:48
Steve-O
I used... I did use grenades a lot because I just kept ending up with them.
01:29:52
GraceAsscrack
it's the bliss the blister heads i would just burn them on the blister heads because those guys were those those guys are the real those guys are the real legends in uh
01:29:52
Steve-O
I'd be like, oh, right.
01:29:57
Steve-O
Dude. Dude.
01:30:00
ThirstTrapLeon
Dude, I'm not going to lie. I kept trying to convince myself that I could hatch at the blister heads. Like, I'm hitting them with, like, a 12-hit combo, and they're not going down.
01:30:06
GraceAsscrack
Nah, dude. na du Nah, dude. They're like clickers, but like on crack, dude. like They're just like...
01:30:12
Steve-O
yeah
01:30:12
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah, they're they're rough, dude.
01:30:13
GraceAsscrack
They're impossible to just... Yeah, and I guess that's what... I mean... i really You know and Fuck this game. cause i This game usually...
01:30:20
Steve-O
but
01:30:20
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah. Okay.
01:30:21
GraceAsscrack
Because I want to use my handgun as Leon, and I didn't really use it.
01:30:25
Steve-O
o
01:30:25
GraceAsscrack
you know But i I'm not going to use that as...
01:30:26
Steve-O
You have to switch over to the shotgun.
01:30:30
GraceAsscrack
Because, don't know. It just feels like in the... Even in Resident Evil 2 Remake... Like, the handgun was your best friend in that in that game. And Resident Evil 4 remake, that's a set you essentially have a Requiem. with ah Any fully upgraded handgun in Resident Evil 4 is basically the Requiem in that game anyway.
01:30:50
GraceAsscrack
So, yeah.
01:30:53
ThirstTrapLeon
ah
01:30:54
GraceAsscrack
they Yeah, so, i yeah, that if if we're going to do that, like, so I would say on terms of Grace's gameplay,
01:30:54
ThirstTrapLeon
Nah, man. That's a kill.
01:31:03
GraceAsscrack
like eons above ethan's if you're doing the direct comparison right like this is just how it should be like i don't care if you're ethan winner's truther like they did it perfectly in this game like that stuff is perfect the resident evil 4 stuff or the the leon stuff i would say the combat is really amazing is incredible fun masterful but i still think resident before remake just is just a little bit more polished and that's
01:31:06
Steve-O
Yeah. Oh my god.
01:31:07
ThirstTrapLeon
Mm-hmm.
01:31:29
GraceAsscrack
Solely based on the fact that the whole game is like that. So it's just optimized that way. So I'm not going to use that as a strike against it.
01:31:35
Steve-O
I think, like, the fact that Leon is sick in this was my, like, headcanon for why he's a little bit clunkier in certain parts.
01:31:36
GraceAsscrack
I'd like to point it out.
01:31:40
GraceAsscrack
Oh, yeah. Okay. Okay. All right. i'll ah You know what? ill I will purchase that product.
01:31:47
ThirstTrapLeon
Okay.
01:31:48
Steve-O
Okay, all right.
01:31:48
ThirstTrapLeon
okay
01:31:49
Steve-O
That's what I did.
01:31:49
GraceAsscrack
I'll buy it.
01:31:49
GraceAsscrack
I'll buy that.
01:31:50
Steve-O
Because...
01:31:50
GraceAsscrack
You know, I will buy that product off of you, Steve.
01:31:52
Steve-O
dude Dude, I just played remake like a couple like days before, and like you're right.
01:31:53
GraceAsscrack
I'll take it.
01:31:59
GraceAsscrack
Resident Evil 4 remake?
01:31:59
Steve-O
His his movement in in for remake, oh my goodness, he's like you know going between, he's just moving, he's parrying.
01:32:03
GraceAsscrack
It's fluid, dude. Yeah, he's like, you're like a fucking ballerina. And just like, you know...
01:32:07
Steve-O
Yeah.
01:32:09
GraceAsscrack
and and And that's kind of why I tend to say that you know I kind of prefer the knife over the hatchet. Just because I feel like I...
01:32:20
GraceAsscrack
Like, the parrying stuff was... don't want to say it was too easy in this game. But like I wasn't parrying that much in regular combat and then once you get to the point where you have to in the fight with the tyrant and with the fight with you know who it seemed like it was just naturally easier, you know.
01:32:36
Steve-O
yeah dude I thought I was like fucked at the very end of the game I was like I have no healing items they are I'm um fighting the the final boss here and he's he's swinging these things and then I'm like oh right I can fucking parry I'm like
01:32:55
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah, that's what I told John.
01:32:55
GraceAsscrack
Yeah.
01:32:57
ThirstTrapLeon
i was like, ah well, you know, what once...
01:32:59
GraceAsscrack
Could you parry bullets from from the BSAA agents or no?
01:33:03
Steve-O
I wish because the they're firing them in like random directions and they're still perfect hitting me when I'm behind walls.
01:33:03
GraceAsscrack
Or not BSAA? Yeah.
01:33:05
ThirstTrapLeon
Dude, those things fucking wipe me out, man. They were tough.
01:33:07
GraceAsscrack
Yeah.
01:33:12
Steve-O
And I'm like, what?
01:33:12
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah. Yeah, dan a little overclock. I was just like, God, playing this on Insanity is probably rough, man.
01:33:12
GraceAsscrack
Yeah.
01:33:14
GraceAsscrack
Yeah, they got, uh, they got thermal.
01:33:18
Steve-O
Yeah.
01:33:19
GraceAsscrack
They got thermal. They got thermal vision goggles, dog.
01:33:20
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah. um
01:33:22
Steve-O
Hmm.
01:33:22
ThirstTrapLeon
Now, like, Steve, did you swap hatchets when when provided the option?
01:33:25
Steve-O
Um,
01:33:26
GraceAsscrack
I did out of respect.
01:33:28
Steve-O
I wanted to, but unfortunately, ah
01:33:31
GraceAsscrack
Yeah, the the regular one.
01:33:32
Steve-O
i man i max leveled up my hatchet.
01:33:34
ThirstTrapLeon
So I'll just say this because this is what I told John.
01:33:36
GraceAsscrack
Yeah, Devin told me this earlier, yeah.
01:33:38
ThirstTrapLeon
ah the The benefit is the other hatchet is it's the Perry window way bigger.
01:33:38
GraceAsscrack
Because I did the same thing as you, Steve.
01:33:45
GraceAsscrack
Is it like slow motion?
01:33:46
Steve-O
is it?
01:33:47
ThirstTrapLeon
No, it's not that, but it's just like, as somebody who kind of struggled with parrying, i was just, I was parrying the last boss like nothing, right?
01:33:50
GraceAsscrack
Oh, you could just like spam it. You could spam the parry button.
01:33:56
ThirstTrapLeon
was like, oh, oh, okay. Like, it was like, it was like when Neo, when Neo becomes the one, like, I was like, oh, yeah.
01:33:57
GraceAsscrack
Oh, I didn't have to parry because of my shot... I was akimbo shotgunning it.
01:34:04
ThirstTrapLeon
So, yeah. So, I'll just say that, you know, obviously. and Plus, my fully maxed out of hatchet, so couldn't take down a fucking blister. And so I was like, what's the goddamn point?
01:34:14
GraceAsscrack
No, I used the Mortal Edge...
01:34:14
Steve-O
Right.
01:34:14
ThirstTrapLeon
Um...
01:34:16
GraceAsscrack
i I equipped it towards the end so I could see it on Leon's butt. Because...
01:34:25
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah.
01:34:25
GraceAsscrack
all right let's Can we talk about the fucking Hunk fight?
01:34:26
ThirstTrapLeon
It's sick.
01:34:27
GraceAsscrack
Because when they showed Hunk, or when they showed the guy that walked out, command they showed the commander walk out with big dick energy.
01:34:27
ThirstTrapLeon
no
01:34:28
Steve-O
Yeah, okay. I'm glad we're saying it.
01:34:34
Steve-O
The commander, quote unquote.
01:34:40
GraceAsscrack
i like who i was like, who the fuck is this?
01:34:40
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah.
01:34:41
GraceAsscrack
I was like, i was like yeah, I was like is that i was like is that i was like, is that Hunk?
01:34:42
ThirstTrapLeon
Dude, as soon as I saw the red lenses, i was like, that's him.
01:34:44
Steve-O
Yeah, yeah.
01:34:46
ThirstTrapLeon
That's Mr. Death, dude.
01:34:48
GraceAsscrack
And then he was like, Leon Kennedy, we finally meet. And I was like, oh, hell yeah.
01:34:53
Steve-O
Yeah, dude.
01:34:53
GraceAsscrack
It was like, it was like, 3 30 a.m and i wasn't even like i wasn't that tired because like sam got me a whole party size full of uh flaming hot cheetos that was munching on the whole time and um yeah and then he's like leon can you finally meet ah i was like oh fuck yes i was like yeah and then but but then i was hit with reality and i was like oh shit leon's probably gonna die in this game like if we're fighting hunk like i don't think i was like i don't think hunk's gonna
01:35:05
ThirstTrapLeon
Oh, that's nice.
01:35:05
Steve-O
Hell yeah.
01:35:22
Steve-O
o
01:35:24
GraceAsscrack
actually be the one to kill him but like the fact that we finally have Mayweather versus Pacquiao like now you know like I'm like this might be the swan song for yeah I'm like dude this might be it dude like he might be actually cooked if he's fighting fucking Hulk now you know
01:35:31
Steve-O
yeah
01:35:35
Steve-O
This might be Leon's Requiem.
01:35:41
Steve-O
i Dude, I felt the same exact way. That entire end run, and then when you walk into that room and it's like steps up into like like kind of golden glowing light, I was like, oh, fuck.
01:35:52
GraceAsscrack
yeah yeah
01:35:53
ThirstTrapLeon
um when When you're like doing and Metal Gear Solid 4 walking into the microwave and you're spitting blood up and he's like, I'm taking a nap.
01:35:53
Steve-O
the
01:35:54
GraceAsscrack
I was waiting to hear the fucking Red Dead.
01:35:57
Steve-O
Yeah. Mm-hmm.
01:36:00
GraceAsscrack
No, but like he he was, I mean, it was very akin to and again, I haven't played Resident Evil 2 Remake in a while, and you and and you have, Devin, but like it's it was very similar to the the last stretch he had, the walk in Resident Evil 2 Remake, where he's, you know, very similar also to Arthur Morgan's Last Ride, where I was let's expecting a cheesy song to be playing during that part while he was hearing people talk.
01:36:01
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah.
01:36:07
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah.
01:36:22
ThirstTrapLeon
Oh, man, dude, that would have been dangerous.
01:36:23
GraceAsscrack
in his head. Yeah, that would have been dangerous, dog.
01:36:27
ThirstTrapLeon
really
01:36:27
Steve-O
Dude, I legit, I was like, dude, I was talking to Tessa and I was like, if Leon dies in this game, I might have to cry a little bit.
01:36:27
GraceAsscrack
But yeah, dog.
01:36:35
Steve-O
Like, like i don't I don't think I could man it for the day.
01:36:35
ThirstTrapLeon
You might have to call out a word tomorrow.
01:36:37
GraceAsscrack
No, I was.
01:36:38
ThirstTrapLeon
Well,
01:36:41
GraceAsscrack
Yeah, I don't know if I was like, because Sam, Sam was asking me the same.
01:36:43
ThirstTrapLeon
you should have picked the other ending, Steve.
01:36:45
GraceAsscrack
Sam was asking me the same shit, too.
01:36:45
Steve-O
fi
01:36:46
GraceAsscrack
And I was like, was like, I was like, I might cry, but I think I'll be more like upset that they killed them off like and if you know depending on how they do it like i don't think this is a good reason to just kill michael jordan on the 96 bulls you know there's no reason for it so it's like yeah this is literally his flu game where you know he was sick the whole time but he was still he still beat the utah jazz in the finals you know like it's fine but yeah the hunk fight was so sick dude
01:37:05
Steve-O
Yeah.
01:37:08
Steve-O
This is his flu game.
01:37:18
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah. Yeah. Oh. Well...
01:37:23
Steve-O
Oh, so good.
01:37:25
GraceAsscrack
And ah I was just like, that's i won the I wanted a fair fight.
01:37:25
ThirstTrapLeon
yeah
01:37:30
GraceAsscrack
That's why I was like, worse where's my where's Krauser's knife? Like, give hatchet and knife.
01:37:34
ThirstTrapLeon
oh
01:37:34
GraceAsscrack
Let's do this legit, dog.
01:37:36
ThirstTrapLeon
well
01:37:36
GraceAsscrack
Let's fucking have a real fight, you know?
01:37:39
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah, it's funny, too, because like, well, you know, while I'm playing this right and I'm seeing that they're playing the hits, I was like, I was just thinking I was like, man, really cool.
01:37:40
GraceAsscrack
He doesn't even touch knives in this game. He's too sick.
01:37:47
ThirstTrapLeon
There's like some sort of hunk DLC. And then I fucking killed hunk an hour later. and I was like, oh, shit, my bad.
01:37:54
GraceAsscrack
Dude, he killed it. Dude, Hunk got me. ah He got me with the neck break, and he did the same thing. I was like, oh, I was like, yeah. was like, that's it right there.
01:38:01
Steve-O
does he do the neck break?
01:38:03
GraceAsscrack
He did the neck break with the little squiggle with the squiggly hands.
01:38:04
Steve-O
Oh, shit.
01:38:06
GraceAsscrack
Like, he actually did it. He did it on on on me.
01:38:09
Steve-O
That's awesome.
01:38:09
GraceAsscrack
I was like, oh, was like, sick.
01:38:10
Steve-O
That's so cool that that's in the game.
01:38:10
GraceAsscrack
I was like, hell yeah, dude.
01:38:13
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah.
01:38:13
GraceAsscrack
Well, yeah, i was like, they didn't call him Hunk, but right now, like i was like, I'm not, I was like, I'm like not, I was like, I'm 93% sure that it is Hunk after all the talk to talk that they had.
01:38:17
Steve-O
You know.
01:38:17
ThirstTrapLeon
I mean, no one does, right? Yeah.
01:38:25
GraceAsscrack
But then when he did the neck break, I'm like, 100%. This is it. this is the god This is the goat right here. I'm fighting against the goat. so And I love how his his his thing is called, his hatchet's called Mortal Edge.
01:38:39
Steve-O
Oh, does
01:38:39
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah.
01:38:39
GraceAsscrack
And like the the little lore is like, it's fucking killed a million fucking people.
01:38:44
Steve-O
he?
01:38:44
ThirstTrapLeon
yeah
01:38:44
GraceAsscrack
This thing's killed a million zombies.
01:38:45
Steve-O
ah
01:38:46
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah, and probably fucking civilians, dude. He's aer he's a psycho. um
01:38:53
GraceAsscrack
Oh, man. Honk. Gotta love Hunk.
01:38:55
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah, also, Steve, I don't know if you caught this, but when you kill Hunk, look at his hand and he has the same Resident Evil. has the same T-virus scar, which is kind confirmed.
01:39:06
Steve-O
ah does he
01:39:08
GraceAsscrack
Yeah, he just takes it. he just takes it easier.
01:39:10
ThirstTrapLeon
I was like, yeah, that's definitely Hunk.
01:39:13
GraceAsscrack
He just, yeah, because he's.
01:39:13
Steve-O
That's awesome.
01:39:14
GraceAsscrack
Oh, man, he was like, no need for backup.
01:39:18
Steve-O
Dude, the second I heard that, I was like, yep, yep, this is Hank.
01:39:18
GraceAsscrack
I'll eliminate the target myself.
01:39:19
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah, he's like, that was one tough son of a bitch.
01:39:22
GraceAsscrack
I was like, is this Hunk?
01:39:24
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah. Also, again, like when you when you like get thrown through the glass, Hunk has you dead to rights and he goes, take your time.
01:39:25
GraceAsscrack
Leon Kennedy, we finally meet.
01:39:32
GraceAsscrack
Now, yeah, he's like, get you get up.
01:39:32
ThirstTrapLeon
Get up. He's like, I'll wait.
01:39:34
GraceAsscrack
Yeah, he he thor he Thor's you.
01:39:36
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah, he could have killed you.
01:39:37
GraceAsscrack
He's like, you know what? could He could have killed you. Actually, thor it was different with Thor because Kratos was actually dead and Thor revived him, which is a huge flex.
01:39:43
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah, he starts his heart.
01:39:46
GraceAsscrack
But, um yeah, to to digress, like, ah fucking, like, that was, was just like, shit, dude. I'm like, we're fucking fighting Hunk right now. Like, this is fucking, this is the real deal, dog.
01:39:59
GraceAsscrack
Like, and I love the fact that Leon is so legendary that he's just been living in Hunk's head rent-free as the one guy he he just didn't run into at the time.
01:40:10
GraceAsscrack
Because that Hunk versus that Leon in 1998 or whatever, yeah, he would have been a fucking smear on the ground He would have been brains on the ground, you know?
01:40:15
Steve-O
That would have been a wipe.
01:40:21
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah.
01:40:21
GraceAsscrack
Actually, I don't know. I think we saw Baby Leon a little short. Dude's a fucking cockroach, man.
01:40:26
ThirstTrapLeon
I mean, yeah, but like Hunk, you know, dude, his name's Mr.
01:40:26
GraceAsscrack
He can't die.
01:40:31
ThirstTrapLeon
Death. That's what everybody calls Hunk.
01:40:33
Steve-O
sick. That is sick.
01:40:34
GraceAsscrack
That's why, yeah, you know what?
01:40:34
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah.
01:40:35
GraceAsscrack
My um my Halo tag in um in college for our Xbox was Mr. Death based off of Hunk. That's little lore drop from John Suarez.
01:40:45
ThirstTrapLeon
Oh, OK.
01:40:47
GraceAsscrack
I called myself Mr. Death then. So, you know.
01:40:51
Steve-O
That's a good one. That's a good.
01:40:52
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah, that's a well-adjusted...
01:40:53
GraceAsscrack
always loved Hunk too. He's
01:40:54
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah, huh? Yeah, and and again, i mentioned it before, and even though, like, Zeno's not really Wesker, kind of, sort of, maybe, it's cool because they those characters had never interacted before.
01:41:07
ThirstTrapLeon
And, like, the here, the Leon quips against somebody like that, because, like, Redfield would just scream and throw haymakers, and they'd get thrown across the room.
01:41:17
GraceAsscrack
just trying to punch him in the face. He's just getting mad trying punch him in the face.
01:41:19
ThirstTrapLeon
yeah you... lose I love Chris, but like, that's what he would do.
01:41:21
GraceAsscrack
But Leon totally Spider-Mans it. He's just like fancy. Fancy moves.
01:41:26
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah.
01:41:26
Steve-O
I don't
01:41:26
ThirstTrapLeon
Like
Comparing Resident Evil Games
01:41:27
ThirstTrapLeon
Chris Redfield to Wesker is just one of those things where it's like, dude, on paper, I just, I fucking watch this guy, but like, he just, he has his number. Chris just has Wesker's number.
01:41:38
ThirstTrapLeon
know, he's like, how am I losing this fucking ape? It's like, sorry, sorry, dude. What are going to do? um Man. But, you know, I, you know, i was talking about it and it's just like,
01:41:52
ThirstTrapLeon
Six, like, you know, in terms of where this ranks, right? But like Resident Evil six, right? the The black mark, right? The lowest of the mainline games.
01:42:02
GraceAsscrack
There are some people out there that think that the game wasn't... The franchise wasn't in danger because Resident Evil 6 sold so well. It was one of the highest selling ones.
01:42:09
ThirstTrapLeon
It was in danger. It was in danger because it was like that.
01:42:11
GraceAsscrack
It was totally in danger, dude.
01:42:12
ThirstTrapLeon
And then like Umbrella Chronicles.
01:42:13
Steve-O
Yeah.
01:42:15
ThirstTrapLeon
I think, remember that weird shoot, that multiplayer shooter?
01:42:15
GraceAsscrack
they They were going nowhere. And then the movies...
01:42:18
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah. it was It was in trouble, right? And, like, it was to a point where me as a fan, I was like, they should just reboot. And I think they Capcom even thought about They're like, maybe we'll just reboot because, like, no one likes 6.
01:42:25
Steve-O
It completely lost its identity.
01:42:30
ThirstTrapLeon
We obviously blew it up. But the point is, is, like, 6 is just, like, the definition of, like, too much. There's just too much going on. And I get it. They're trying to like tie all these things together and, you know, Oh, give you these fan service moments. But it's like nine is just how to do six correctly.
01:42:53
ThirstTrapLeon
In my opinion, it's just like, we're going to give you all these moments, but there's just, we're just going to hold back.
01:42:53
GraceAsscrack
Yeah.
01:42:59
ThirstTrapLeon
You know, maybe we don't need to just gas China or whatever the fuck happens in that game.
01:42:59
GraceAsscrack
Yeah.
01:43:04
GraceAsscrack
We don't need Ada clones to fucking ooze out of their...
01:43:04
ThirstTrapLeon
Like, Yeah, we don't need Ada clones. We don't need like just all of this nonsense, right? Just nine is just, it's a perfect, it's ah an amazing mix of like fan service, different gameplay mechanics that still work all the way through, fun surprises, like, like the, good
01:43:24
GraceAsscrack
and it keeps the And it keeps the classics, like, relevant in the series now, too, which is why...
01:43:29
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah, and it and it adds a heaviness. It really adds a heaviness to, you know, like what's happening in that game.
01:43:35
GraceAsscrack
what happened and what And what happened to the characters, you know? like the
01:43:39
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah.
01:43:40
GraceAsscrack
Because you could tell you could tell Leon is, like, despondent in 4, like, when he's, like, riding in the car in the beginning.
01:43:40
ThirstTrapLeon
I mean...
01:43:47
GraceAsscrack
Like, he's very...
01:43:47
ThirstTrapLeon
Right, yeah. Like that's, he's he's definitely like, but there's other stuff going on.
01:43:49
GraceAsscrack
is And he's so so he's so laser- He's so laser focused on saving Ashley and making sure, you know, then there's a clear reason why he's got this complex now because like can save everybody.
01:43:56
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah. Yeah.
01:44:04
GraceAsscrack
And then, you know, that note, do do you think fucking Diet Wesker really just wrote that note that says you can't say save everybody? Or do you think that was just in Leon's head because he's because he's trauma?
01:44:15
ThirstTrapLeon
That'd be kind of cool.
01:44:16
Steve-O
Oh.
01:44:17
ThirstTrapLeon
Well, John, I don't, you know, in terms of like having, that i don't know if you know this, but last year marked the 80th anniversary of the atomic bombings on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
01:44:23
Steve-O
Oh, hold on.
01:44:24
ThirstTrapLeon
And it doesn't sound, doesn't sound right.
01:44:24
Steve-O
Hold on. no. Oh.
01:44:25
ThirstTrapLeon
Something so barbaric feels like should have happened centuries ago.
01:44:26
GraceAsscrack
Oh, God.
01:44:28
ThirstTrapLeon
And yet it's still recent enough that tens of thousands survivors still love, live among us today.
01:44:29
Steve-O
oh no
01:44:31
GraceAsscrack
Oh, my God. Okay, Polygon.
01:44:33
ThirstTrapLeon
ah You know, known as these individuals, these individuals still carry within the physical mental of scars of an unfathomable tragedy.
01:44:39
Steve-O
Are we IGN-ing Polygon right now?
01:44:39
ThirstTrapLeon
They're both reminders of the evil, uh, evil mankind is capable of living proof of that. And it gets all odds. Good people can still hope to push on the face of it. But, uh, you know, in his own words, Leon S.
01:44:50
ThirstTrapLeon
Kennedy is a survivor too. Uh, so listen, it's tied all together, baby.
01:44:54
Steve-O
that's definitely That's definitely a take. That's definitely a take.
01:44:58
ThirstTrapLeon
Fuck Jesus.
01:44:59
Steve-O
Polygon.
01:44:59
ThirstTrapLeon
Great. Um, that, that being said, uh, ignoring the polygon jab, um there is a heaviness, right? Like when when kind of... And to me, one of the moments was like when he walks by Kendo's gun shop and he's like... It's almost like he was...
01:45:18
ThirstTrapLeon
he when he opens the door and he sees the one skull, he sees the one skeleton, and it's almost like he didn't want to know either.
01:45:22
GraceAsscrack
The one score, yeah.
01:45:22
Steve-O
Yeah.
01:45:24
GraceAsscrack
Yeah.
01:45:28
ThirstTrapLeon
i think he would have been scared of either result, right? He's like, if there's no bodies, that's fucked up. There is a body. I don't know. Like, it's just like... It does a nice retroactive like, no, dude, that shit was fucking traumatic.
01:45:43
GraceAsscrack
That shit was hard. It was tough.
01:45:43
ThirstTrapLeon
And it's actively killing him.
01:45:44
Steve-O
Yeah.
01:45:44
GraceAsscrack
Yeah, that shit was tough.
01:45:46
ThirstTrapLeon
It's actively killing him, you know, you know, as you play the game.
01:45:47
GraceAsscrack
Yeah. Yeah.
01:45:49
ThirstTrapLeon
So it was just, you know, but listen, last year marked the 80th anniversary of Atomic Pond.
01:45:51
Steve-O
Mm-hmm.
01:45:56
GraceAsscrack
it It really is like, um you know, Leon is this fucking super action hero, but like how do we how do we ground him a little bit more?
01:46:02
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah.
01:46:04
GraceAsscrack
And it's like, this is it's all here.
01:46:05
ThirstTrapLeon
Right.
01:46:07
GraceAsscrack
It's all there, you know?
01:46:07
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah. um One thing I didn't I didn't mention, but I just thought this is a fun little thing. I didn't quite get the Lady D costume for Grace when it was announced outside of just, you know, goony material.
01:46:21
GraceAsscrack
ah interesting that you, that was the first thing that you checked for in the game.
01:46:24
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah. Well, hey, I have the deluxe edition, um but it's it's cool because she's like a little fucking vampire just sucking up blood.
01:46:24
GraceAsscrack
That's weird.
01:46:31
ThirstTrapLeon
And I was like, oh, that's cute.
01:46:32
GraceAsscrack
Oh, is that that's how she collects the blood?
01:46:32
Steve-O
who That makes sense.
01:46:34
ThirstTrapLeon
I don't know. I don't i just think it's i's probably why they gave her the skin.
01:46:37
Steve-O
The connection to why she's the vampire.
01:46:38
ThirstTrapLeon
because she's a little blood-sucking goblin, dude. um Also, Steve, I talked to John about this.
01:46:43
Steve-O
That makes sense. Mm-hmm.
01:46:45
ThirstTrapLeon
Steve, did you know about the As of Now Unsolved puzzle?
01:46:50
Steve-O
Um, you know what? Uh, I was checking the challenges and I saw at the very bottom, it said something about taking the, the twins to hear the voice.
01:46:55
ThirstTrapLeon
Uh-huh.
01:47:00
Steve-O
Um, and it made me curious. And I, I, apparently i was accidentally doing some of the pieces of that.
01:47:05
ThirstTrapLeon
You did some digging?
01:47:09
Steve-O
Um, I didn't get the hand.
01:47:10
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah.
01:47:10
GraceAsscrack
You got the hand and everything and the hourglass.
01:47:13
Steve-O
What I did was, um, in the game is I kicked the head through the basketball hoop.
01:47:18
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:47:19
GraceAsscrack
I didn't do that.
01:47:19
ThirstTrapLeon
It's
01:47:20
Steve-O
um But yeah, and I'm finding out there that there's all this like, you know, PT-esque puzzle that if you do a certain string of things, it's crazy.
01:47:24
ThirstTrapLeon
just a big puzzle that as of now... Isn't that crazy, though? It's like...
01:47:32
Steve-O
And I love it. i Because like that might have like an alternate thing on it. Like who knows?
01:47:36
ThirstTrapLeon
And and like, listen, maybe by the time this comes out, somebody will have solved it.
01:47:36
Steve-O
Yeah.
01:47:41
ThirstTrapLeon
But in 2026, the fact that this game has been out for more than one day and there's a puzzle that people are like, i don't we we the Internet doesn't get it yet because it was funny because I beat the game and I was like, I had the hand and I just didn't know what to do with it.
01:47:50
GraceAsscrack
We don't know what it it is. Yeah.
01:47:58
ThirstTrapLeon
And then I was like, you should took it to the the blood analyzer machine, which would have done this. And because I have the hourglass and I did the thing where I turned the sand over just to see. Because I was like, oh, that's cool.
01:48:08
Steve-O
Oh.
01:48:08
ThirstTrapLeon
in real time, the sand fills up. And then I saw the note.
01:48:12
GraceAsscrack
you You can try.
01:48:12
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah,
01:48:13
GraceAsscrack
Did you know you can try to put the hourglass in the he in the DNA Helix and it just doesn't fit?
01:48:17
ThirstTrapLeon
yeah. And it just like ting ting. Yeah, because that's what I thought.
01:48:19
Steve-O
oh
01:48:19
GraceAsscrack
Which is different. it doesn't It doesn't... It usually just says you can't use that here.
01:48:23
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah.
01:48:23
GraceAsscrack
And you you don't even try. But with that, like, try.
01:48:25
ThirstTrapLeon
There is a... Yeah, they're very it's just cool, right? And again, maybe by the time you listen to this it will have been solved. But the fact that the internet exists and is in full force and we don't know yet is really impressive to me.
01:48:42
GraceAsscrack
a community thing, man.
01:48:43
Steve-O
That's very impressive.
01:48:44
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah. And
01:48:47
GraceAsscrack
So... What was I going to say?
01:48:52
GraceAsscrack
Oh, so...
01:48:53
ThirstTrapLeon
have you? Yeah.
01:48:54
GraceAsscrack
yeah was Yeah, like, do you want to see where it ranks among the greats?
01:49:00
Steve-O
Yeah, let's do that. I'm i'm all for that.
01:49:01
ThirstTrapLeon
I do. While John's pulling out Steve, have you been replaying it yet?
01:49:05
Steve-O
I just started a replay now. um
01:49:08
ThirstTrapLeon
Okay.
01:49:08
GraceAsscrack
New Game Plus?
01:49:09
Steve-O
New Game Plus, it's interesting because it gives Leon his little boxes like immediately.
01:49:11
ThirstTrapLeon
Sort of, right? There's not really...
01:49:16
ThirstTrapLeon
yeah
01:49:17
Steve-O
um so you can like grab all your stuff.
01:49:18
ThirstTrapLeon
Race is left out in the cold, right?
01:49:20
Steve-O
She really is.
01:49:21
ThirstTrapLeon
If she doesn't have anything cool
01:49:23
Steve-O
i What I did was, so with my endgame credits, I bought the Infinite Knife for Grace.
01:49:30
ThirstTrapLeon
Oh, okay.
01:49:31
Steve-O
um just
01:49:31
GraceAsscrack
What's the name of that knife again?
01:49:32
Steve-O
it's I forget. It's something with a K.
01:49:34
ThirstTrapLeon
It's cool.
01:49:34
GraceAsscrack
It's got a cool...
01:49:35
Steve-O
Kotashi or something like that.
01:49:36
ThirstTrapLeon
Kobayashi or something.
01:49:37
Steve-O
ah But like basically like I just I love being able to like shoot zombies until I can shove them to the ground and then I just knife them a million times.
01:49:46
GraceAsscrack
Yeah, that's what I did with my first knife.
01:49:46
ThirstTrapLeon
What's funny is I just never use the knife mechanics in the in the my first run through.
01:49:50
Steve-O
That's hey, that's very fair to.
01:49:51
GraceAsscrack
No, i did that I did that with an...
01:49:52
ThirstTrapLeon
I didn't even realize it.
01:49:53
GraceAsscrack
I killed... Owen watched me do this, video but I... the The first zombie I just stabbed to death just to see, and it was like, it just kills the entire knife completely.
01:49:57
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah.
01:50:02
Steve-O
Oh, guys, we didn't even talk about the fucking motorcycle sequence.
01:50:07
GraceAsscrack
Oh, God. The sick motorcycle sequence.
01:50:08
Steve-O
Dude. ah How pissed is Portia?
01:50:10
ThirstTrapLeon
I'll just say this. I'll just say... Listen, I'll say this. ah I didn't... I was talking to Jenny, oh my god, wait, is this playable? it's o's playable
01:50:20
GraceAsscrack
was like, Yeah, because you see the motorcycle and he's like, oh, it's in good shape. I just need to get into a game.
01:50:26
ThirstTrapLeon
yeah I thought it was just going be cool little cutscene.
01:50:26
GraceAsscrack
And then I'm like, oh, man.
01:50:28
Steve-O
Yeah.
01:50:28
ThirstTrapLeon
didn't think I going be fucking rocking that shit.
01:50:29
GraceAsscrack
Me too. I know I was fucking fighting dogs.
01:50:30
Steve-O
Dude. The dogs.
01:50:32
GraceAsscrack
Fighting Cerberus dogs.
01:50:33
Steve-O
When he fucking vaults off the skyscraper.
01:50:37
GraceAsscrack
Yeah.
01:50:37
Steve-O
Yeah. Oh, yeah.
01:50:37
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah. Yeah.
01:50:38
GraceAsscrack
Nah, they really... Dude, they dialed they dialed in the the Mission Impossible code. coded Like Ethan Hawke coded fucking Leon Kennedy in this too. Which I was glad to see.
01:50:47
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah.
01:50:48
GraceAsscrack
They even had the fucking motorcycle face off too. which Which ruled.
01:50:53
Steve-O
yeah oh yeah
01:50:53
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah.
01:50:54
GraceAsscrack
with fat with With Fatty.
01:50:55
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah.
01:50:57
GraceAsscrack
Love it.
01:50:57
ThirstTrapLeon
So yeah, I bought Grace's gun, which is Pretty good.
01:51:04
Steve-O
Okay.
01:51:04
ThirstTrapLeon
Because it's got a clip of 30, which, yeah, yeah, which it kind of it's almost like a double leg sword, though, because like you get a little bit more comfortable shooting that thing.
01:51:06
Steve-O
The pistol one.
01:51:14
ThirstTrapLeon
But still, you shoot, you kill fucking zombie.
01:51:16
GraceAsscrack
Well, it's New Game Plus, dude. You gotta just...
01:51:18
ThirstTrapLeon
I know, but but then then a lot of fucking zombies chase me, and I'm like, oh, 30 bullets still isn't all that much.
01:51:21
GraceAsscrack
a victory lap.
01:51:24
ThirstTrapLeon
and then ah And then I overcompensate, and then I still am finding myself with a fucking whole med pack. Because, like, Steve, I'm assuming the um the pouches don't carry over, right?
01:51:37
Steve-O
The pouches do not carry over.
01:51:38
ThirstTrapLeon
Right, that's what I mean.
01:51:39
GraceAsscrack
Tough.
01:51:39
ThirstTrapLeon
was like, god damn, dude.
01:51:40
Steve-O
Yeah.
01:51:41
ThirstTrapLeon
I needed some pouch.
01:51:42
GraceAsscrack
Tough!
01:51:43
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah. My my replay.
01:51:44
GraceAsscrack
And they're in like completely ends of the fucking over storyline too basically.
01:51:48
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah.
01:51:48
GraceAsscrack
You don't get the last one until the end. Until the arc.
01:51:50
Steve-O
You got to get the little coin ease and then all the way to the art.
01:51:51
ThirstTrapLeon
and So, yeah, right now i'm I'm in Leon where I'm like walking through the hospital after Grace kind of goes to rescue the girl.
01:51:53
Steve-O
Mm
01:51:59
Steve-O
hmm.
01:52:00
ThirstTrapLeon
um And. um But I've been playing on ink ribbon mode.
01:52:06
Steve-O
Oh, okay, you're doing classic.
01:52:06
ThirstTrapLeon
Which. are
01:52:07
GraceAsscrack
Classic.
01:52:07
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah, which man, you. ah I didn't realize how many times I would die because ink ribbons in a weird way.
01:52:15
GraceAsscrack
Wait, do you need Ink Ribbons as Leon too?
01:52:18
ThirstTrapLeon
No, he just uses this box.
01:52:19
GraceAsscrack
ah Okay.
01:52:20
ThirstTrapLeon
But ah but ink ribbons use up.
01:52:22
GraceAsscrack
I love how Leon can't use typewriters, but Grace can.
01:52:25
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah, ink ribbons use up a very valuable space and then you use blood to build like tins and stuff.
01:52:28
GraceAsscrack
Because he's too sick.
01:52:33
Steve-O
Yeah.
01:52:33
ThirstTrapLeon
But you can still. So one, you're like filling up your inventory even more quickly because you're picking up this stuff.
01:52:36
GraceAsscrack
Yeah, I was going to say, that's two spots now.
01:52:39
ThirstTrapLeon
and it And it like makes it a lot more tense when you're running around because it's like you really don't want to use them. But I'm like, oh, man, I got to go do a quick run around the corner to get to this blood thing so I can max this thing out.
01:52:45
Steve-O
Mm-hmm.
01:52:51
ThirstTrapLeon
And you give myself the steroid injection. but I don't want to save yet. So then you're just running and I like ah but I'm also one shot and that fucking chefs running around with this fucking hatchet. So there's machete or whatever.
01:53:03
ThirstTrapLeon
So like it made the game honestly more tense. um i Sorry, last question. On your replay, are you going to switch the perspectives?
01:53:14
ThirstTrapLeon
are going to keep it?
01:53:16
Steve-O
Uh, right now I've kept the perspectives. Um, but like I, know, I was thinking about switching, ah grace also to third, just cause I kind of wanted to see her running animation because her running in first person feels like those slow as
01:53:26
GraceAsscrack
her butt.
01:53:29
GraceAsscrack
yeah it doesn't feel like you're Yeah, it doesn't feel like you're running at all.
01:53:32
ThirstTrapLeon
I'll be honest. It's not that fast. It's not that fast at third.
01:53:35
Steve-O
I need an excuse of her stumbling and stuff.
01:53:35
ThirstTrapLeon
She kind of runs...
01:53:37
Steve-O
I need that excuse.
01:53:38
ThirstTrapLeon
That is, I'll be honest, specifically in the very first, like when you first meet the the girl, like the the big gangly lady, when she's running like frantically, like the animation is sick because she's like stumbling and freaking the fuck out.
01:53:40
GraceAsscrack
There are
01:53:46
GraceAsscrack
The girl. Yeah.
01:53:46
Steve-O
Yeah.
01:53:54
GraceAsscrack
First person can be very misleading, too.
01:53:54
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah.
01:53:56
GraceAsscrack
Because, like, there were times where I thought, where I was like, oh, fuck! Because the liquor was, like, literally right, like, it took up the entire screen, but it didn't fucking, it didn't see me.
01:54:03
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah.
01:54:06
ThirstTrapLeon
yeah
01:54:07
GraceAsscrack
So, it's kind of misleading, too. I wonder how how much that changes. I'll never play Leon first person, though. Ever in my life.
01:54:15
Steve-O
Nah, nah.
01:54:16
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah.
01:54:16
GraceAsscrack
You can't, you couldn't pay me to do that.
01:54:17
ThirstTrapLeon
I'll be honest. I almost took off the sights when I realized it put me in first person mode. I was like, ew.
01:54:21
Steve-O
I did that for a moment. i was like, du when?
01:54:24
ThirstTrapLeon
I spent the money.
01:54:25
Steve-O
Yeah, I guess that makes sense.
01:54:26
GraceAsscrack
Yeah.
01:54:26
ThirstTrapLeon
spent the goddamn money.
01:54:28
Steve-O
I really...
01:54:28
GraceAsscrack
Yeah, the way I saw it was like, it might be more accurate, like, in the game if you're using that site anyway. So i was like, I'll just keep it on there. But it didn't, you know, it was cool.
01:54:39
GraceAsscrack
But, you know, give me, like Devin said, give me the fucking laser site. Just give me the laser site and we're good, dog.
01:54:44
Steve-O
yeah
01:54:44
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah. Yeah.
01:54:46
Steve-O
Hey, maybe maybe future DLC stuff. Who knows?
01:54:48
GraceAsscrack
Yeah, right. they didn't even throw that the remake stuff.
01:54:50
Steve-O
I mean, they they didn't even put Ada in this.
01:54:52
GraceAsscrack
Oh, no, they did. They did. No, no. they they wanted the One of the handguns, you can get an actual laser sight in Resident Evil 4 Remake, but it's only one of the guns.
01:54:54
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah.
01:55:00
Steve-O
Okay.
01:55:02
GraceAsscrack
forgot which one it is.
01:55:03
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah. So, uh,
01:55:04
GraceAsscrack
It's one of the ones I didn't use. Like the Punisher, I think, or something.
01:55:08
ThirstTrapLeon
the, the, yeah. Yeah. One of them is just, it's like the little army, the green army one.
01:55:13
Steve-O
Okay.
01:55:13
ThirstTrapLeon
Anyway. yeah. I'm curious about the ranking Chris or, uh, John.
01:55:19
GraceAsscrack
Okay, so i have... Okay, I have two lists here. I have them in um
01:55:30
GraceAsscrack
chronological release order, right?
01:55:33
ThirstTrapLeon
Okay. can
01:55:33
GraceAsscrack
Like what years they came out. And then also just by just Metacritic score.
01:55:40
Steve-O
Okay.
01:55:41
GraceAsscrack
I use Metacritic because OpenCritic is kind of too new, I think. So Metacritic goes actually goes back to the fucking 90s. um But we can go... We can just go by if you want. like Okay, so here's here's Metacritic's top five.
Resident Evil Game Rankings and Eras
01:55:59
GraceAsscrack
right are Actually, this is okay yeah okay this is the top five. So Resident Evil 4 OG is 96.
01:56:09
ThirstTrapLeon
Okay.
01:56:09
GraceAsscrack
Code Veronica is 94. Resident Evil 4 Remake is a 93.
01:56:16
ThirstTrapLeon
Go for Ravka's 94?
01:56:16
GraceAsscrack
And then... Yeah, isn't that wild?
01:56:18
ThirstTrapLeon
shit.
01:56:19
GraceAsscrack
And then Director's Cut?
01:56:19
Steve-O
That is all. Mm-hmm.
01:56:22
GraceAsscrack
Nemesis, OG Remake, and Resident Evil 2 Remake are all tied for 91. So that's... I can't really say top five for Metacritic score, but...
01:56:35
ThirstTrapLeon
yeah
01:56:36
GraceAsscrack
um like Like, where would you... but i don't I don't even know if Code Veronica is in my personal top five. So I don't i don't know if...
01:56:46
GraceAsscrack
um Maybe this isn't a good...
01:56:47
ThirstTrapLeon
ah Listen, I'm just going to say this.
01:56:49
Steve-O
Yeah, I wouldn't put it in my top five either.
01:56:50
ThirstTrapLeon
Open critic. I'm looking at the score for Requiem. It's too low.
01:56:55
Steve-O
I agree. It's 88.
01:56:57
GraceAsscrack
What is it at now?
01:56:57
ThirstTrapLeon
It's ah it's in sitting at an 89.
01:56:58
Steve-O
89. Okay. Mm-hmm.
01:56:59
ThirstTrapLeon
Nah, dude, that should be...
01:57:00
Steve-O
eightyn nine oga
01:57:00
GraceAsscrack
89? Okay. okay okay so let's go let's Let's start there then.
01:57:02
ThirstTrapLeon
We should be...
01:57:06
GraceAsscrack
If Requiem is at 89, Resident um Evil 2 OG Metacritic is at 89. like Do you think this is a better game than re the original Resident Evil 2?
01:57:20
ThirstTrapLeon
Let's see. I almost want to disqualify the originals because it's
01:57:23
GraceAsscrack
You want to just group them up and into...
01:57:24
Steve-O
Yeah, i think the I think the originals are too they're they're too important for their time.
01:57:28
GraceAsscrack
Okay. All right. So here I have another list, Steve, where it breaks them up into eras.
01:57:31
Steve-O
and
01:57:31
ThirstTrapLeon
okay.
01:57:32
Steve-O
Okay.
01:57:34
GraceAsscrack
So the class the classic era is tank controls.
01:57:35
Steve-O
That's fair.
01:57:35
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah.
01:57:40
GraceAsscrack
So it's Director's Cut, Resident Evil 2, Nemesis, and Code Veronica are in the classic era. Do you want to just not use those?
01:57:48
ThirstTrapLeon
yeah
01:57:51
Steve-O
Yeah, I think i think i I could argue you could argue Code Veronica because that 94 is egregious.
01:57:59
ThirstTrapLeon
yeah if
01:58:00
GraceAsscrack
Yeah, it's pretty high, right?
01:58:01
ThirstTrapLeon
I mean, that that's got to be a matter of like just that not the amount of reviewers must be really low.
01:58:01
Steve-O
That's very high to...
01:58:07
GraceAsscrack
Right.
01:58:08
ThirstTrapLeon
Because, um you know,
01:58:09
GraceAsscrack
um I mean, I guess maybe maybe I don't want to and don't want to kill another turtle on Amazon, but i was going to say we can probably replace Code Veronica with Code Veronica X for PS2.
01:58:21
GraceAsscrack
Because the original Code Veronica was Dreamcast, right? Am I i tripping?
01:58:25
Steve-O
It was Dreamcast and then x was PlayStation.
01:58:26
GraceAsscrack
And then Code Veronica X was PlayStation 2.
01:58:29
Steve-O
Yeah.
01:58:29
GraceAsscrack
So Code Veronica, what's Code Veronica X on Metacritic?
01:58:33
Steve-O
Let me just look that up.
01:58:34
ThirstTrapLeon
Oh, you got it.
01:58:35
Steve-O
ah Yeah, I got it for you.
01:58:39
GraceAsscrack
Well, we can just deal not use tank control Resident Evils because because the most all of those besides Code Veronica.
01:58:43
Steve-O
Yeah, that makes sense.
01:58:48
ThirstTrapLeon
Oh, so I looked it up. Code Veronica x is a 67. And so, yeah.
01:58:53
GraceAsscrack
Okay.
01:58:54
ThirstTrapLeon
and so
01:58:56
Steve-O
That's wild, yeah.
01:58:56
GraceAsscrack
All right. All right. Okay. so You know what? I hate to say this, but maybe we should have numbered series.
01:59:04
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah. So so Code Veronica original has 18 reviews.
01:59:09
GraceAsscrack
What does Resident Evil Zero have?
01:59:09
ThirstTrapLeon
Code Veronica X.
01:59:10
GraceAsscrack
Because
01:59:12
ThirstTrapLeon
Oh, God.
01:59:14
GraceAsscrack
that has an 83 on this list.
01:59:19
GraceAsscrack
But it doesn't have the Metacritic link.
01:59:19
ThirstTrapLeon
You know.
01:59:20
GraceAsscrack
It has Wikipedia on there. So maybe this might be pre-Metacritic too.
01:59:25
ThirstTrapLeon
I always get hung up if I'm typing like the letter or the number or the.
01:59:31
ThirstTrapLeon
Resident Evil 0.
01:59:32
GraceAsscrack
It's the number for this. 83.
01:59:34
ThirstTrapLeon
Oops. This should be a fucking 0, am I right? 83. GameCube, yeah.
01:59:40
GraceAsscrack
Yeah, yeah.
01:59:40
ThirstTrapLeon
ah
01:59:40
GraceAsscrack
Same with this. Okay. So there's the GameCube.
01:59:41
ThirstTrapLeon
thank you
01:59:44
GraceAsscrack
So there's the classic era and then there's GameCube slash action shift era, which is remake zero and four. They have them there. So we could start there, I guess, probably.
01:59:55
Steve-O
Okay.
01:59:56
GraceAsscrack
All right.
01:59:57
Steve-O
Yeah.
01:59:57
GraceAsscrack
And then go down the list.
01:59:58
ThirstTrapLeon
i
02:00:01
GraceAsscrack
So we can go backwards in time, right? Is
02:00:03
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah, I mean,
02:00:04
GraceAsscrack
is
02:00:05
ThirstTrapLeon
yeah
02:00:06
GraceAsscrack
is the game, we're starting off pretty pretty spicy here. is Is the game better than Resident Evil 4 Remake?
02:00:14
Steve-O
Resident Evil 4 remake.
02:00:16
GraceAsscrack
Yes, I'm going backwards in chronological order.
02:00:17
Steve-O
but Okay. Um.
02:00:21
ThirstTrapLeon
I say damn recency bias, yes I don't care, I don't care, I'm saying yes
02:00:29
Steve-O
Oh, I loved remake. 4 remake. Um.
02:00:34
ThirstTrapLeon
Just beat remake, I'm saying it's better than remake.
02:00:39
GraceAsscrack
You beat remake? Okay. You beat it once?
02:00:41
ThirstTrapLeon
i
02:00:42
GraceAsscrack
Okay, cool. Good job.
02:00:43
Steve-O
i think I think sitting here and comparing both, they are neck and neck, but I am going to have to give the edge to Requiem because of how it also dabbles in you know ah horror as well as it does.
02:01:06
Steve-O
Because I feel like, you know, four is like, you know, it's it's the it's the Leon meat from Requiem as well.
02:01:15
GraceAsscrack
Nah, I think that's selling... I think that's...
02:01:16
Steve-O
You think it's selling a short?
02:01:17
GraceAsscrack
that No, i think's that I think that downplays Resident Evil 4 Remake just because, again, we have sick Leon. He's old. He's 50 years old.
02:01:26
Steve-O
He's old.
02:01:27
GraceAsscrack
um He's not moving like that.
02:01:27
Steve-O
He's old man.
02:01:27
ThirstTrapLeon
i like I like fighting the enemies in 9 more than... i think the Ganados are fun, but I think the dusty-ass zombies...
02:01:34
Steve-O
I like, like...
02:01:39
ThirstTrapLeon
the The fun new zombie types.
02:01:41
GraceAsscrack
I mean, you guys already know my answer, but, like,
02:01:43
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah.
02:01:44
Steve-O
Yeah,
02:01:44
GraceAsscrack
I'm not going to say Resident Evil 4 Remake clears this game, but like like like by by a country mile. buy it But i just objectively, i think Resident Evil 4 Remake is probably ah more complete like overall experience just based on how much how much game you get.
02:01:52
Steve-O
no, I'm not going to say that either.
02:02:07
GraceAsscrack
Like this game, first playthrough 12 hours for me.
Game Elements and Legacy
02:02:13
Steve-O
Mm.
02:02:13
GraceAsscrack
I was able to beat it basically in one sitting, which I don't know if that's like, yeah, I don't even know if like, that's like, ah i don't, I don't want to say if that's a good thing or a bad thing.
02:02:17
Steve-O
That's amazing.
02:02:23
GraceAsscrack
Like, you know, I'm definitely like biased towards, it's a good thing that I was able to just finish the game in one sitting.
02:02:29
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah.
02:02:30
GraceAsscrack
But I don't know if that like objectively makes it like a more complete game just because it, you know, it is pretty short. There's like two, there's two chapters in it.
02:02:42
GraceAsscrack
I don't want to say that it didn't give me enough to play because it still felt like it's the opposite of a movie.
02:02:45
Steve-O
Mm-hmm.
02:02:48
GraceAsscrack
Like it was short gameplay time, but it it felt like it was bigger than it was, I guess, maybe just because, you know, a lot of it has to do with the the feelings the game does. But I don't think it's a better game than Resident Evil 4 Remake.
02:03:03
GraceAsscrack
um I don't like ah I can't I can't rank it over over that.
02:03:06
Steve-O
Again, again i think there's some crazy recency bias like maybe floating around in my mind too.
02:03:11
ThirstTrapLeon
Thank you.
02:03:14
Steve-O
um I just don't want to sell the gray sections short because I really, really do think that that elevated a ton of this game for me as well as just the...
02:03:27
Steve-O
the absolute like ridiculousness of of Leon uh like I'm thinking of highlights from four I'm thinking of highlights from Requiem like that dude has always been fun and has made these games so much better so I I think it's a little bit of both ingredients we're good
02:03:43
GraceAsscrack
All right, so if you were if you were to compare if you were to compare the two perspectives of Requiem, like do you what do you think was ah was better?
02:03:53
Steve-O
of Requiem um
02:03:53
GraceAsscrack
graces Grace's or or Leon's?
02:04:00
GraceAsscrack
Tough question, I know. I can't even answer it myself.
02:04:01
Steve-O
That's a really hard question.
02:04:01
ThirstTrapLeon
I mean, i think i think what makes it really pop is the marriage between the two. and know it's like the ultimate fence sitting move, but like...
02:04:06
Steve-O
Yeah. That makes me think that they're going to do code Veronica as the next game. Just because that is kind of possibly like where they might do that again with Claire and Chris.
02:04:22
GraceAsscrack
Right.
02:04:24
Steve-O
But I would say if, if I have to of the two, I would say Leon, um, But again, you know, you might ask somebody else and they would say grace. Like I i love both of them.
02:04:38
Steve-O
But like like Devin was saying earlier, like, you know, playing as grace and then switching over to Leon, you're like, oh, my God. But also a ton of the Leon sections later on, you're like, oh, Leon.
02:04:49
Steve-O
Oh, my God. Like, you know, they they really play with your emotions, which is something that.
02:04:52
GraceAsscrack
yeah
02:04:55
Steve-O
um
02:04:58
Steve-O
A good Resident Evil game does.
02:04:58
GraceAsscrack
here's ah here's a here's a site here's a site here's here's a side questionst Here's a side question for you guys.
02:04:59
ThirstTrapLeon
yeah i just I just hate the the plot in 4 so bad. you know like
02:05:06
GraceAsscrack
Would you rank this game over Resident Evil 4 OG?
02:05:12
ThirstTrapLeon
i think 4 Remake is better than 4 OG.
02:05:15
GraceAsscrack
So you think this is better than 4 and 4 Remake?
02:05:18
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah.
02:05:19
GraceAsscrack
That's crazy to me.
02:05:20
ThirstTrapLeon
hey I mean, listen.
02:05:21
GraceAsscrack
I'll ask you again in five years when everyone forgets about this game.
02:05:23
Steve-O
very That's very fair.
02:05:23
ThirstTrapLeon
That's what I mean.
02:05:24
Steve-O
think...
02:05:25
ThirstTrapLeon
The game's been out for... The body's not even cold, but I get it.
02:05:28
Steve-O
okay i
02:05:30
GraceAsscrack
Okay, okay, let's keep... Alright, yeah, but I want to keep going, because I don't want to get hung up on this.
02:05:33
Steve-O
Yeah, don't get hung up on it.
02:05:34
GraceAsscrack
It's kind of a mistake.
02:05:35
Steve-O
So, John, because like I could literally go back and forth, I think I'm going to say for remake over this, but it's like they're they're very close.
02:05:45
GraceAsscrack
Yeah, I just think... Again, I'm completely 1 million percent biased, right? Because I played Resident Evil 4 Remake, I beat it like 50 times.
02:05:57
Steve-O
Yeah.
02:05:57
GraceAsscrack
Like, literally, like, I have a three hour run in that game like I beat that game to shit so it's not really I'm not a general perspective when it comes to that game like it would I would probably not be able to sleep tonight thinking that any game and in the Resident Evil series is better than any innovation of four so like I may might as well might as well have the fucking so the weirdo four tattoo on my arm you know i mean like that's just how that's just how I am that's games is my blood So, but like, again, I don't want to get hung up on this because I think the more the more um pressing questions is like how, out you know, how it compares to the other games.
02:06:01
Steve-O
Hmm.
02:06:03
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah.
02:06:27
Steve-O
yeah
02:06:38
GraceAsscrack
This is a weird one because these are the most recent ones. And so Village, obviously, i this game runs circles around Resident Evil Village for me.
02:06:47
Steve-O
This clears village. Yeah.
02:06:48
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah, it's better than Village.
02:06:50
GraceAsscrack
I feel like they they, even if they did... do the marriage stuff like if they like say Resident Evil Village it was half Ethan half Chris like I don't think it would I don't think it still would have been ah nearly as good and just because because Grace Grace is really
02:07:03
Steve-O
I feel like whoever directed this, whoever was the director of Requiem played Village and they went, well, why the fuck didn't it switch over to third person as Chris?
02:07:14
GraceAsscrack
yeah why did we do that yeah why didn't we do that yeah we were like why why aren are we doing that like We should be able to be three-peaking and fucking seeing everything that not a normal person could see when you play Chris Redfield.
02:07:15
Steve-O
Like, like, cause we thought that John, w right? Remember?
02:07:26
Steve-O
Yeah. I think there was a lot of like fun things, but I think the beginning of Village is way stronger than the end of Village.
02:07:28
GraceAsscrack
Oh,
02:07:34
ThirstTrapLeon
So, yeah, yeah, I can say that. um i Also, um the the director of the guy who directed RE9 did RE7.
02:07:39
GraceAsscrack
ah yeah, because you're the one that loves Resident Evil Village. It's your favorite game.
02:07:46
ThirstTrapLeon
So it's the same.
02:07:48
Steve-O
Okay, you can kind of feel that, I think. Yeah.
02:07:49
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah. Oh, yeah.
02:07:51
GraceAsscrack
yeah
02:07:53
ThirstTrapLeon
Who directed RE8 then?
02:07:57
ThirstTrapLeon
Morris Misa Sada. Cool.
02:08:00
GraceAsscrack
i like the the subtitles, but I wish they would just keep the just call it Resident Evil 9 Resident Evil 8.
02:08:01
ThirstTrapLeon
All right.
02:08:06
Steve-O
Yeah, it's easier.
02:08:07
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah.
02:08:08
Steve-O
It's just easier.
02:08:08
ThirstTrapLeon
i mean, that's what we all call it.
02:08:10
GraceAsscrack
It's easier for the library like when you know when you're looking at stuff in order.
02:08:13
ThirstTrapLeon
um Oh, also real quick, fun fact. In my replay of 8, I've been replaying it in third person mode just because like, fuck it why not?
02:08:20
Steve-O
hmm. You can.
02:08:22
ThirstTrapLeon
Understanding it was added after the fact, but it's like so funny.
02:08:22
Steve-O
Mm
02:08:24
GraceAsscrack
os like silent hill too like It's like playing for Silent Hill 2 remake.
02:08:29
ThirstTrapLeon
It's like hilariously awkward at times. Just like the way he, because they didn't give him a ton of animations, right? So it's just like, it kind of feels like playing it like Fallout in third person mode a little bit.
02:08:35
Steve-O
hmm.
02:08:41
Steve-O
Yeah.
02:08:43
GraceAsscrack
He's opening fences with his face and shit.
02:08:48
GraceAsscrack
Okay, Resident Evil 3 remake.
02:08:48
ThirstTrapLeon
That's a great game.
02:08:51
ThirstTrapLeon
Better. I'm sorry.
02:08:52
Steve-O
Better.
02:08:52
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah. I told John this earlier, but RE3, I've actually softened on RE3 even more.
02:08:54
Steve-O
I'm
02:08:55
GraceAsscrack
Well, I don't know.
02:08:58
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah.
02:08:58
Steve-O
i'm not a hater of RE3 like a lot of people.
02:08:59
GraceAsscrack
i still i still i still really I still really like RE3 Remake.
02:09:02
Steve-O
Yeah.
02:09:02
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah.
02:09:02
GraceAsscrack
i'm not I don't even care.
02:09:02
Steve-O
Yeah.
02:09:04
GraceAsscrack
i i still i still love it.
02:09:04
Steve-O
I think that's that's the ultimate arcadey classic PlayStation feel of the modern Resident Evil remakes.
02:09:09
GraceAsscrack
Yeah.
02:09:10
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah. Yeah, it's just, it just followed to remake.
02:09:12
GraceAsscrack
somebody's like Somebody's like putting the Clock Tower shit and into it in a mod or some shit, what I read. But I'm not going to play that.
02:09:19
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah.
02:09:19
ThirstTrapLeon
Well, honestly, RE3 remake, when it came out, was the lack of content was explained by that multiplayer mode.
02:09:19
Steve-O
That's cool.
02:09:29
ThirstTrapLeon
Like, oh, well, it came with a multiplayer mode, but like, In 2026, the multi-mode multiplayer mode that isn't active and ignored. Like, yeah, RE3 kind of gets left out in the in the cold a little bit.
02:09:44
ThirstTrapLeon
It's just like, what were they thinking with this game? In some ways, you know, I still think it's it's a very good game. If I can platinum it, like, I wouldn't have done that if I didn't really like it.
02:09:56
ThirstTrapLeon
But, yeah, 3 yeah. Mm-hmm.
02:09:59
GraceAsscrack
Alright, this the hard one, guys. Resident Evil 2 Remake.
02:10:05
ThirstTrapLeon
See, like, to me, to me, it's like, it's why I it's why i think I like RE2 more than RE4 Classic.
02:10:05
Steve-O
No. I can't say that. I can't say it.
02:10:09
GraceAsscrack
You can't say it!
02:10:10
Steve-O
can't say it.
02:10:10
GraceAsscrack
You can't say it, Devin. Devin.
02:10:16
ThirstTrapLeon
And I think it's why I like RE2 Remake more.
02:10:18
GraceAsscrack
Wait, Re...
02:10:19
ThirstTrapLeon
i like Resident Evil 2 Classic.
02:10:20
GraceAsscrack
Oh.
02:10:22
ThirstTrapLeon
I like more than Resident Evil 4 Classic.
02:10:24
GraceAsscrack
I don't...
02:10:25
ThirstTrapLeon
I just like, like, that's my favorite.
02:10:26
GraceAsscrack
I don't see why. You wouldn't even have Gears of War if Resident Evil 4 never came out.
02:10:28
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah.
02:10:28
Steve-O
I think that's like a type where it's like, you know how like people choose like a water type, a grass type or a fire type of Pokemon.
02:10:31
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah.
02:10:34
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah, but like, yeah, and RE2 remake.
02:10:35
Steve-O
I think there's the two fans. There's the, I mean, that to be fair, I know they're one in the same, but right.
02:10:39
GraceAsscrack
Resident Evil 2 was the first Resident Evil game I played.
02:10:42
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah.
02:10:42
GraceAsscrack
oh
02:10:42
Steve-O
But I think there's the people who think two is the best.
02:10:44
GraceAsscrack
There's a special place in my spot.
02:10:45
Steve-O
There's people who think four the best.
02:10:45
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah. But like RE2 remake, right, is like, it's so good.
02:10:46
Steve-O
And then there's lunatics.
02:10:51
ThirstTrapLeon
the only The only ding i can give it is like, I think the AB b scenarios were a little botched. Just like, yeah I like that they attempted it
02:11:01
GraceAsscrack
yeah Now, if they had if they had switching perspectives during the game, you couldn't do it?
02:11:05
ThirstTrapLeon
Perspectives, no. But if they it gave me multiple...
02:11:08
GraceAsscrack
You couldn't do it like that?
02:11:08
ThirstTrapLeon
No, because if i need I need like the... I love that Mr. X was just a B thing, right? It just felt so cool to play and get just those wildly different scenarios.
02:11:22
GraceAsscrack
But also, doesn't really make sense that one of them just didn't see him at all.
02:11:25
ThirstTrapLeon
The timeline doesn't make sense at all.
02:11:27
GraceAsscrack
yeah
02:11:28
ThirstTrapLeon
Neither does Resident Evil 1, right? The Resident Evil 1 timeline makes no fucking sense. Because it's like, who was locked up?
02:11:34
GraceAsscrack
Yeah, so I...
02:11:34
Steve-O
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
02:11:35
ThirstTrapLeon
What is this?
02:11:36
GraceAsscrack
I personally think Resident Evil 4 Remake is is slightly better as a game than Resident Evil 2 Remake.
02:11:36
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah.
02:11:41
ThirstTrapLeon
Dude.
02:11:43
GraceAsscrack
But! The big but is Resident Evil 2 Remake was just like... It was like a... It was like the cure for cancer, dude. Because, like...
02:11:54
GraceAsscrack
You know, it might not be a better fucking thing for society.
02:11:54
ThirstTrapLeon
Dude.
02:11:57
GraceAsscrack
I mean, it would be. But, like... a you know It was like revolutionary that they even...
02:12:04
ThirstTrapLeon
would you say, well cause that came after seven, right?
02:12:05
GraceAsscrack
Yeah,
02:12:06
Steve-O
We do it.
02:12:08
ThirstTrapLeon
So it was like seven, like successfully rehabilitated the franchise.
02:12:09
Steve-O
Yeah.
02:12:09
GraceAsscrack
yeah. yes Seven is the next one up.
02:12:14
ThirstTrapLeon
And then they, no, yeah.
02:12:14
GraceAsscrack
Yeah, yeah. I say it all the time. I'm like, i don't...
02:12:16
ThirstTrapLeon
And then they came out with two remake and that was like, Ooh, like I just never, I've never had a more visceral experience of getting, having my cake and eating it too.
02:12:24
GraceAsscrack
but there was it
02:12:27
ThirstTrapLeon
Like,
02:12:28
GraceAsscrack
Yeah, there was no point. there was no there was There was a point in time where I think for like three or four years we were begging for them to remake two.
02:12:37
Steve-O
Oh, longer than that, like a decade and a half.
02:12:37
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah, no, 2 Remake was is just, it's honestly, it might be my the gold standard, you know?
02:12:37
GraceAsscrack
No, more more than two years.
02:12:39
GraceAsscrack
Like ten years. Yeah, because like
02:12:46
GraceAsscrack
was the most needed thing. that That's like the the one game that they should like one you know the one instance where they needed to remake that game and you know and we even for the first three or four years of our of our decade-long like cry fest like even if they remade it in the style of resident evil one remake like that would have been incredible too at that point but yeah so i
02:12:57
Steve-O
Mm-hmm.
02:13:13
Steve-O
Yeah.
02:13:14
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah.
Resident Evil 7's Influence and Realism
02:13:17
GraceAsscrack
i wouldn't put it over resident evil 2 remake the
02:13:20
Steve-O
That's fair.
02:13:20
ThirstTrapLeon
oh
02:13:20
Steve-O
I think like with like, you know, I think this is an excellent game. Had you not played Resident Evil 2 remake, but I think because of Resident Evil 2 remake, this game soars like ye you need to.
02:13:34
ThirstTrapLeon
And I would also argue to remake is too low scored. It's too lowly scored.
02:13:38
Steve-O
what What is it scored at?
02:13:38
ThirstTrapLeon
Like it's like a 91, but should be like a 94, 95.
02:13:40
Steve-O
That's bullshit. I agree.
02:13:42
ThirstTrapLeon
ninety five
02:13:43
Steve-O
That should definitely be in in that range too.
02:13:45
GraceAsscrack
Damn.
02:13:46
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah. I mean, again, just understanding the, the, the recency bias is extreme. i think I got to cut it off there. i'd Probably say R2 remake is a little bit better than the nine, but honest I think nine is, is probably top three of all time for me.
02:13:56
GraceAsscrack
Wow, really?
02:14:00
GraceAsscrack
So,
02:14:04
GraceAsscrack
because the way I see is Resident Evil 4's remake was basically hand in hand with Resident Evil 2 remake on terms of quality.
02:14:11
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah.
02:14:12
Steve-O
Yeah.
02:14:14
GraceAsscrack
So,
02:14:14
ThirstTrapLeon
i Yeah, and I also think, and it's tough because like RE4 remake is also like, it's going to sound snobby, but it's like a complete a product product, right?
02:14:15
Steve-O
yeah
02:14:16
GraceAsscrack
That's why...
02:14:24
ThirstTrapLeon
It's like we have separate ways DLC, which is great. Like, and it marries that stuff.
02:14:31
GraceAsscrack
yeah that's why I can't...
02:14:31
ThirstTrapLeon
um
02:14:32
GraceAsscrack
I don't understand why you guys put...
02:14:33
ThirstTrapLeon
So also why I think it's better than 4 original, because...
02:14:36
GraceAsscrack
and that's why I don't understand why you think Requiem is better than than that. I just...
02:14:40
Steve-O
like Like, I'm saying, like, it's flittering.
02:14:41
GraceAsscrack
I can't... get I don't get it. I don't get I don't get it
02:14:43
Steve-O
Like, just right now, recency bias, as well as just the fact that, like, you could, like, literally catch me, like, a a day or um a year from now, and it could just switch.
02:14:46
GraceAsscrack
Okay. Alright.
02:14:54
Steve-O
I think it's just one of those things where, like...
02:14:56
GraceAsscrack
I'm not... Yeah, and I'm not just saying that just because I could play through the game blindfolded and beat it in under 20 hours still, probably.
02:15:00
Steve-O
Right. Mm-hmm.
02:15:02
ThirstTrapLeon
I
02:15:03
GraceAsscrack
But, like, I just, like, objectively, like, you know...
02:15:07
Steve-O
Mm-hmm.
02:15:08
GraceAsscrack
They even they even gave us the fucking village demo, too. Like... Come on, dog. they they they did all they did all the same They did all the same beats.
02:15:13
ThirstTrapLeon
i get it.
02:15:15
Steve-O
They did.
02:15:15
ThirstTrapLeon
I get it.
02:15:15
Steve-O
They did.
02:15:17
GraceAsscrack
Like, all the same fucking
02:15:17
Steve-O
They did it good.
02:15:18
ThirstTrapLeon
Again, like to be blunt to be blunt, I like the villain.
02:15:23
GraceAsscrack
aura
02:15:24
ThirstTrapLeon
I like the enemy variety in 9 more. I think they're more fun to fight.
02:15:30
Steve-O
i think it'd be i think it would be fun to go through both games and...
02:15:30
ThirstTrapLeon
i think I think taking a ah fire axe, lobbing it across the room, and then doing a running jump kick against a zombie while it's eyeballs hanging out like is more fun than shooting a Ganado and doing a wheel kick over and over and over and over again.
02:15:37
GraceAsscrack
right okay but
02:15:42
GraceAsscrack
Yeah.
02:15:46
GraceAsscrack
Yeah, but that's not... Yeah, if you play if if you play the game... If you play Resident Evil 4 Remake like not utilizing everything Leon has, then yeah, it'll feel like that. But like once you like get into a rhythm, then it becomes...
02:15:58
GraceAsscrack
like you know It's really satisfying to go through crowds in that game when you when you're not getting hit and parrying.
02:16:05
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah.
02:16:08
GraceAsscrack
Parrying fucking... uh pitchforks getting thrown at you and shit and like you know like fucking
02:16:12
ThirstTrapLeon
it's It's really satisfying to walk up and put your shotgun in the zombie's mouth and pull the trigger. Like, that's too.
02:16:16
GraceAsscrack
and then like and then like the other thing that i didn't really go into was like swapping weapons in as leon as sick leon i'll have to put that caveat in there seemed very slow compared like because i'm trying to like i was trying to play through it like how i play resident 4 remake like
02:16:25
Steve-O
Sick Leon.
02:16:34
Steve-O
Yeah.
02:16:35
GraceAsscrack
pop, pop, pop, switch to the Uzi, hit that guy in the knees, kick him in the face, and then switch to my shotgun to to clear out the crowd that's behind me doing the quick turnaround.
02:16:44
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah.
02:16:45
GraceAsscrack
Like, it it doesn't feel as fluid and as, like, natural, I guess, because you got TB.
02:16:52
ThirstTrapLeon
He's 55 years old and he has a TV.
02:16:52
GraceAsscrack
But yeah, he's got TB.
02:16:52
Steve-O
He's slower. He's older. He's got TB.
02:16:56
GraceAsscrack
He's older. I get it.
02:16:57
Steve-O
He's still fucking shredding.
02:16:58
GraceAsscrack
But, like, ah like man. Yeah, i mean, he's still shredding, but yeah.
02:17:01
Steve-O
any
02:17:02
GraceAsscrack
OK, so Resident Evil 7. clears Resident Evil 7 okay what
02:17:05
ThirstTrapLeon
Seven. I love seven, but this is better than seven.
02:17:08
Steve-O
Yeah, um definitely way better than seven. But also, I think seven is better than eight.
02:17:14
ThirstTrapLeon
I think of all the remakes, which are all great to amazing, this is remake wise top three. I think at worst, you know, like risk like it's worst placement is under RE2 remake and RE4 remake, I think.
02:17:25
Steve-O
Yeah. I think we're just like.
02:17:27
GraceAsscrack
do you mean
02:17:37
GraceAsscrack
All right, I'm going to skip 6. six I'm going to skip 5. I'm going to skip 4 OG.
02:17:42
ThirstTrapLeon
if Yeah.
02:17:45
GraceAsscrack
um mean, I don't want to skip 4 OG because it is, in my mind, like it's so in its own tier, I guess. like On terms of just a video game in general, it's like if you don't have the Resident Evil title on there, it's still one of the best games ever made, i think, in my opinion.
02:17:56
Steve-O
Yeah.
02:18:02
GraceAsscrack
But like, um Zero...
02:18:02
Steve-O
Yeah.
02:18:05
GraceAsscrack
We could skip Zero too, because I fucking hate that game.
02:18:07
Steve-O
That's one of the worst Resident Evils. Yeah.
02:18:09
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah.
02:18:09
GraceAsscrack
But, here's the final boss. Steve, Resident Evil Remake 2002.
02:18:12
Steve-O
Okay.
02:18:16
Steve-O
Well, we could even just do the HD one from 2014 that got us Resident Evil 2 remake.
02:18:21
GraceAsscrack
I guess, yeah, but this one was special.
02:18:24
Steve-O
this one this one This one made us...
02:18:25
GraceAsscrack
Playing this, playing it on GameCube was special, dude.
02:18:29
Steve-O
This was the remake that made us go, oh remakes can be good. oh remakes are cool.
02:18:32
GraceAsscrack
Fucking Crimson Heads?
02:18:34
Steve-O
I mean, we wouldn't have blister heads. We would not have blister heads without that.
02:18:37
GraceAsscrack
That's right.
02:18:39
Steve-O
um
02:18:40
GraceAsscrack
i don't think I put, I don't think I put this over the original Resident Evil remake.
02:18:43
ThirstTrapLeon
Well, I'm going to I'm at a point where I'm just waiting for them to remake one again.
02:18:44
GraceAsscrack
No way. I don't think I do.
02:18:50
Steve-O
I don't think I could either. I honestly just... I don't think I could.
02:18:53
GraceAsscrack
I can't put it over. there Like in my, like, so Resident Evil 4 is my favorite in the series, right? Resident Evil 2, also my favorite in the series.
02:18:57
Steve-O
Yeah. Yeah.
02:19:00
GraceAsscrack
It's the left hand, right hand for me, right? But Resident Evil Remake, I think re the the original remake for Resident Evil 1 is the pinnacle of what that style of survival horror could be.
02:19:03
Steve-O
a
02:19:12
GraceAsscrack
And it was like, it was literally like, ah I think it's like a perfect game. Like that game is a perfect game.
02:19:16
Steve-O
yeah
02:19:18
GraceAsscrack
Tank controls, be damned. When you walk, when you, like a lot of the feelings that I was feeling as Grace in Requiem are just like,
02:19:29
GraceAsscrack
flashback PTSD from playing Resident Evil 1 remake on GameCube ah there's a there's a there's a canon moment you're in the the west part of the mansion where where the long hallway is it was dark and all you see was a zombie slowly out outside just slowly tapping on the fucking window and it fucked me up like got under my skin
02:19:44
Steve-O
Yeah.
02:19:58
GraceAsscrack
And the first time, you know, i think that like right after that is the first where you get the lighter and you're just like, Oh, what do I do with this fucking lighter? And it tells you what you have to do. And you're just like, fuck.
02:20:10
Steve-O
Like, what are you talking about?
02:20:10
GraceAsscrack
Like, yeah.
02:20:10
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah.
02:20:11
GraceAsscrack
Like, Oh, this is how you, this is how you like make the game that everybody already knows. Like, like harder. You this is how you, this is like, this is the formula of how you remake a game.
02:20:19
Steve-O
Yeah.
02:20:22
GraceAsscrack
Like, in like the philosophy of remaking a game that people love. Like, this is how you do it. You, you know like it you make it scarier somehow because they add all these elements that that weren't in the original
02:20:35
Steve-O
Crimson Heads, Lisa Trevor, like that fucking weird casket room with the face masks.
02:20:43
GraceAsscrack
the big ass fucking snake i can't put i can't put recommend over this sorry devon i know there's a reason to see prop bias but i can't i can't put it over og remake
02:20:45
Steve-O
Oh, man, dude.
02:20:50
Steve-O
I think...
02:20:50
ThirstTrapLeon
That's okay.
02:20:53
ThirstTrapLeon
I don't want to say like I'm a hater of RE1 remake. Like I'm absolutely not.
02:21:00
GraceAsscrack
Did you even have a GameCube?
02:21:00
ThirstTrapLeon
But havetained you but like I'll just be honest.
02:21:01
GraceAsscrack
I don't even remember you even having a GameCube.
02:21:04
ThirstTrapLeon
like i I'd be more than happy with an RE1 re-remake.
02:21:10
GraceAsscrack
I mean, I would be, I would be too, but I just, I don't think it'll be, um, like they're gonna have to like fucking, they're gonna change the Spencer mansion.
02:21:10
Steve-O
I'd love to see a re-remake of that.
02:21:16
ThirstTrapLeon
It'd be obnoxious. It'd be
02:21:19
GraceAsscrack
They're gonna have to change Spencer mansion to a fucking skyscraper to get a full game out of it.
02:21:21
Steve-O
Thank you.
02:21:23
ThirstTrapLeon
I said, I don't want to be that guy, but I saw some asshole that did like a re like a unreal five demo.
02:21:24
GraceAsscrack
You know?
02:21:30
ThirstTrapLeon
Like ah like, oh, this is what Resident Evil one would look like.
02:21:32
GraceAsscrack
like, over-the-shoulder perspective and everything.
02:21:34
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah, like, yeah, he just like did it in art the unreal five engine. And I was like, oh, that's got sick. That's kind of sick action. They could work.
02:21:44
Steve-O
It's that's the thing, right now that we've introduced all this stuff about Spencer, like you, you tell Resident Evil one, you tell code Veronica like those are important like beats.
02:21:53
GraceAsscrack
Oh, yeah. Yeah.
02:21:56
GraceAsscrack
I mean, I could do without another orphanage fucking sequence.
02:22:00
Steve-O
ah
02:22:00
GraceAsscrack
Like, I could deal... I could... I could go without that.
02:22:02
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah.
02:22:02
Steve-O
What's the better orphanage section two or this?
02:22:07
GraceAsscrack
Two.
02:22:08
Steve-O
Two.
02:22:08
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah, too.
02:22:09
Steve-O
Okay.
02:22:09
ThirstTrapLeon
I mean, listen.
02:22:10
GraceAsscrack
Yeah, this one was like, kind of like shoehorned, I think. Like, it was definitely like, it was creepy, but at the same, it was creepy, but like, at the same time, I just felt like, this is something that like, this is ah an element that they, that they put in Resident Evil Village, because it was lacking that feeling.
02:22:14
ThirstTrapLeon
it was it was creepy, though. I was playing it and I was going, ah! Yeah.
02:22:30
GraceAsscrack
And I don't think, it was lacking anything that they needed to put this in here.
02:22:30
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah.
02:22:34
GraceAsscrack
Like, I think that without it, the game still stands the same, you know? I don't think it was absolutely necessary to to to put that in there.
02:22:44
Steve-O
That wasn't real quick. I just want to make sure that wasn't like our grace, right?
02:22:50
GraceAsscrack
Nah, I don't think No, because they were watching they're watching the security footage, I think.
02:22:50
ThirstTrapLeon
No, no, that was... No, that came out, that was in 1990. That was the time frame.
02:22:58
Steve-O
How old is fucking grace?
02:23:00
ThirstTrapLeon
No, no, that's what i'm saying. It's not, like, they were just...
02:23:02
Steve-O
That's not grace. That's Right.
02:23:04
GraceAsscrack
Yeah, plus, you find out yeah ah you find out later that Grace wasn't a clone.
02:23:04
ThirstTrapLeon
They werere just trying to, like, clone this chick.
02:23:08
GraceAsscrack
She was just a baby that they found, I guess, in the trash can.
02:23:09
Steve-O
Right.
02:23:10
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah.
02:23:12
ThirstTrapLeon
But, like...
02:23:12
GraceAsscrack
So...
02:23:13
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah, I don't know. Because that little girl just... ah When I was playing, I was like, Jenny, this like like this little clone girl is going to get fucking killed. like I don't know if I'm going to see it, but like this is not a good ending for this chick.
02:23:28
ThirstTrapLeon
And then, ah you know, that was pretty much it. Also, ah they they shoot a little kid in the head.
02:23:32
Steve-O
Okay.
02:23:33
ThirstTrapLeon
I get it. He's little monster at that point, but kind of wild.
02:23:38
GraceAsscrack
Oh yeah, ah Owen watched me play the beginning. Probably not a good good idea since he's only five because he's pretty violent.
02:23:42
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah.
02:23:43
Steve-O
No.
02:23:46
GraceAsscrack
But man, he was gooning for grace.
02:23:46
ThirstTrapLeon
Hell of an intro, by the way. Dude.
02:23:49
GraceAsscrack
he was like, I like her. She's beautiful. i was like, yeah, she's pretty rich.
02:23:52
Steve-O
but he's got a type.
02:23:54
ThirstTrapLeon
You're like, and I'm going to put it in first person mode.
02:23:54
Steve-O
He's got such a type.
02:23:54
GraceAsscrack
Yeah.
02:23:57
Steve-O
You know what?
02:23:57
GraceAsscrack
He's definitely got type.
02:23:57
ThirstTrapLeon
That is very funny, man.
02:23:59
Steve-O
She's in Fort right at right now, so if you want you want to have a little...
02:24:02
GraceAsscrack
And then he he went to go take a bath in shit and shit and I had to pause the game to wait for him so he could see Leon and I'm like you know what I can't I'm like the old me that what isn't a dad I'd be like fuck that like I'm just gonna play it cause I wanna see Leon but the fact that he wanted he wanted to see Leon I'm like nah I got i gotta do that I gotta wait for him yeah
02:24:23
ThirstTrapLeon
yeah My needs are more important, child.
02:24:27
Steve-O
That's important, that's important.
02:24:28
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah. And Leon's pretty in dope.
02:24:34
GraceAsscrack
yeah
02:24:35
ThirstTrapLeon
Just walking around.
02:24:35
GraceAsscrack
yeah Yeah, Sam was getting into it too, because they were just in behind me watching me play in my office for a little bit.
02:24:35
Steve-O
I want to...
02:24:40
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah, that's cool.
02:24:41
GraceAsscrack
She was getting into the crazy story.
02:24:41
Steve-O
It's an entertaining game to watch.
02:24:42
GraceAsscrack
Yeah.
02:24:43
Steve-O
Like, not many horror games are that entertaining, but Resident Evil always always manages to make them very visually...
02:24:43
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah.
02:24:44
GraceAsscrack
She was getting into the story.
02:24:52
GraceAsscrack
Sam watched me play three remake and four remake. Not the whole game, but like parts of it. Because, yeah, i remember i was asking I was talking to you guys, ah she wanted to play a game like Resident Evil, but without the killing and without without the horror.
02:24:58
Steve-O
Yeah.
02:25:06
GraceAsscrack
I was like, oh, so, like, like fucking Myst?
02:25:08
ThirstTrapLeon
if not Resident Evil?
02:25:10
GraceAsscrack
You want to play Myst?
02:25:11
Steve-O
From this, you're just running around an island.
02:25:12
GraceAsscrack
Because she saw all the puzzle so puzzle stuff and was, like, super interested in that stuff.
02:25:17
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah, I mean...
02:25:17
GraceAsscrack
Which is another thing. The puzzles in this game were very... I don't want to say... Like, Resident Evil 4 puzzles are very... Neanderthal too, but this one was pretty it was pretty not challenging, I would say.
02:25:30
ThirstTrapLeon
I had more trouble.
02:25:30
Steve-O
The puzzles were all three three puzzles.
02:25:31
ThirstTrapLeon
i had more trouble just knowing where to go as opposed to doing the puzzles.
02:25:36
GraceAsscrack
Right.
02:25:36
ThirstTrapLeon
You know, I was like, where the, there was a moment where I got really stuck because of when the big boy, the chunky dude breaks in, like I forgot that he wasn't there anymore.
02:25:36
Steve-O
Yeah.
02:25:43
Steve-O
Yeah.
02:25:47
ThirstTrapLeon
So for like a half, ah like two hours, I was like, it's honestly, it's probably why I had all the material to like clear out the room. Cause I was just running laps. was like, What the fuck am I missing?
02:25:58
ThirstTrapLeon
And then I was like, oh, wait a second. And I went in and then, you know, man, dude, I love the the main character syndrome zombie, the singing zombies on opposite ends of the the institute.
02:26:09
Steve-O
yeah
02:26:11
ThirstTrapLeon
It's like, God, such fun.
02:26:12
Steve-O
They have to keep them separate. Dude, i love the zombies.

GraceAsscrack
Might be number six, though.
02:27:50
GraceAsscrack
Depends on do I like this or Resident Evil 3 Nemesis more? Like, that's that's where I'm at. I guess I like Resident Evil Requiem more than Resident Evil 3 Nemesis.
02:27:56
ThirstTrapLeon
Whoa. Okay.
02:28:03
ThirstTrapLeon
Hmm. I'm just...
02:28:04
Steve-O
I got my order.
02:28:08
ThirstTrapLeon
I...
02:28:11
GraceAsscrack
That one's going Resident Evil then Resident Evil 8, and then Resident Evil 7, and then Resident Evil 4.
02:28:12
ThirstTrapLeon
Alright. So it's it's... So top two are probably... Resident Evil Remake...
02:28:26
ThirstTrapLeon
Number one.
02:28:28
GraceAsscrack
What?
02:28:28
ThirstTrapLeon
yeah
02:28:28
GraceAsscrack
I thought you hated that game. You just talked about how much you hated.
02:28:30
ThirstTrapLeon
Resident Evil 2 remake.
02:28:32
Steve-O
ah We didn't hear the two.
02:28:32
GraceAsscrack
I think... No, you said you said re yeah you said Resident Evil Remake, and I almost blew a gasket on you.
02:28:33
Steve-O
We didn't hear the two.
02:28:37
ThirstTrapLeon
Oh my God. No, I'm sorry.
02:28:38
Steve-O
ah
02:28:38
ThirstTrapLeon
I'm sorry. Now Resident Evil 2 remake.
02:28:43
ThirstTrapLeon
It's like I want to say Resident Evil 2 original, but that's like I just know. i just know playing it again would be rough.
02:28:53
GraceAsscrack
I think like five years ago I played i played i played them again.
02:28:56
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah.
02:28:56
GraceAsscrack
It was the first time I exhumed my PSP and I have it on there. I have that and Nemesis, I think, on that on that bad boy.
02:29:04
ThirstTrapLeon
Um, you know, uh, okay. All right. I'll just, I'm pulling the bandaid off. Uh, Resident Evil 2 remake Requiem 4 remake Resident Evil 2 and then,
02:29:12
GraceAsscrack
Jesus. Oh my god. Oh my god. What?
02:29:21
ThirstTrapLeon
uh, uh, hold on.
02:29:21
GraceAsscrack
That's crazy, dude.
02:29:22
ThirstTrapLeon
Uh, and then, uh,
02:29:23
GraceAsscrack
This is recency bias at its finest.
02:29:25
ThirstTrapLeon
And then ah either either I would go Resident Evil 3 Nemesis or Resident Evil 7.
02:29:29
GraceAsscrack
Oh my god. Dude, just make the call now. Give me the five.
02:29:35
ThirstTrapLeon
Resident Evil 7.
02:29:37
GraceAsscrack
You're a psychopath, dude.
02:29:37
ThirstTrapLeon
Number 5. Okay, okay.
02:29:38
Steve-O
Okay, wait, wait, so hold on. Just say say real quick for me one more time.
02:29:40
GraceAsscrack
Yes! Yeah, yeah, yeah. Do all five. Do all do all five again.
02:29:44
ThirstTrapLeon
Okay, okay.
02:29:44
GraceAsscrack
Do all five again.
02:29:45
ThirstTrapLeon
I'll go from the bottom. How about that?
02:29:47
Steve-O
Okay.
02:29:47
GraceAsscrack
then no, do do ta no. Do one through five.
02:29:49
ThirstTrapLeon
ah Okay, okay.
02:29:50
Steve-O
Okay.
02:29:51
ThirstTrapLeon
So top to bottom.
02:29:52
GraceAsscrack
Yeah, hold on.
02:29:53
ThirstTrapLeon
2 Remake.
02:29:53
GraceAsscrack
Let me type this down.
02:29:54
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah, two remake, Requiem,
02:29:59
GraceAsscrack
Jesus Christ, dude.
02:30:00
ThirstTrapLeon
um
02:30:00
GraceAsscrack
It's crazy.
02:30:02
ThirstTrapLeon
four remake, two original, and Rizzo 7. Yeah,
02:30:14
GraceAsscrack
Seven over Nemesis. Wow.
02:30:16
ThirstTrapLeon
yeah I know.
02:30:18
GraceAsscrack
Hold on. Let me...
02:30:19
ThirstTrapLeon
I'll be like, to be perfectly honest, I feel like three Nemesis original, I feel like it's better in my brain and I want to keep it there. Because like, you know, I remember playing it be like, that was sick, but it just wasn't Resident Evil 2.
02:30:36
Steve-O
Yeah.
02:30:37
ThirstTrapLeon
Even though I love, i thought Nemesis was great. And funny enough, I beat the shit out of that one too. um But yeah. I just said seven. I just got to give it props for.
02:30:48
ThirstTrapLeon
Like it's saved, you know, it's like you saved me. You saved the series, dude.
02:30:53
GraceAsscrack
I guess, but it's like, but like if a guy like pushes you out of the way of a moving vehicle, like does he, does he automatically become your dad?
02:31:00
ThirstTrapLeon
Now, this is like, this is like, this is like, oh, this guy gave me a shot and now I'm successful and I have a house and a family.
02:31:07
GraceAsscrack
So why, so why doesn't four OG give you that? That gap go higher then, because that's basically the same thing, but probably to a bigger extent.
02:31:11
ThirstTrapLeon
um
02:31:17
GraceAsscrack
Because it not only revitalized it not only it not only revitalized the series of Resident Evil, but it actually revolutionized gaming in general, Devin.
02:31:18
ThirstTrapLeon
Because because I think, I think, hold on, hold on.
02:31:26
ThirstTrapLeon
I'm going to say this. I think four and four remake are so close in terms of like how it looks and how it plays.
02:31:28
Steve-O
I did.
02:31:34
ThirstTrapLeon
Like they're so similar.
02:31:36
GraceAsscrack
Oh, I thought we were going hard hard hard here.
02:31:37
ThirstTrapLeon
And I just think four and I just think four remake is so much better.
02:31:41
GraceAsscrack
That's crazy to me.
02:31:42
ThirstTrapLeon
like I'm sorry. I think four remake is better. And I mean, I don't know.
02:31:46
GraceAsscrack
That's crazy.
02:31:47
ThirstTrapLeon
It just feels redundant to put four remake and four.
02:31:47
GraceAsscrack
I thought, I mean, if I wanted, yeah.
02:31:49
ThirstTrapLeon
But I mean, hey, go off.
02:31:51
GraceAsscrack
Yeah, but like, yeah.
02:31:52
ThirstTrapLeon
Let me let me see. you You know, yeah, let's Steve. Let's see yours.
02:31:56
Steve-O
All right. So I said Resident Evil 2 remake as my number one. And then number two was Resident Evil remake HD. And then number three was Resident Evil 4 remake.
02:32:08
ThirstTrapLeon
OK. Oh.
02:32:09
Steve-O
number or I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I said three was four remake, right?
02:32:13
ThirstTrapLeon
OK. Yeah. Wow.
02:32:14
GraceAsscrack
Wait, wait.
02:32:14
Steve-O
And then three is four remake.
02:32:15
GraceAsscrack
Yeah, three is four remake. Okay.
02:32:18
Steve-O
Four is Requiem. And then five is seven.
02:32:23
ThirstTrapLeon
well
02:32:23
GraceAsscrack
Wow, a lot of love for 7 here.
02:32:26
Steve-O
I think everything up until the boat part of that game is is awesome. And then it just loses steam at the end.
02:32:35
GraceAsscrack
Man.
02:32:35
Steve-O
And oh keep in mind, keep in mind, I'm cheating a little bit on this one because.
02:32:40
GraceAsscrack
Yeah, you got you guys told me to make it hard, so I made it hard for myself. You guys made it easy with all the remakes in your you're top 5. That's crazy to me.
02:32:47
Steve-O
ah yeah yeah, that's the thing. The remakes, the remakes are so so good.
02:32:51
ThirstTrapLeon
You're so good, dude.
02:32:52
Steve-O
mean, I just can't.
02:32:52
ThirstTrapLeon
yeah
02:32:53
Steve-O
Can I not?
02:32:56
GraceAsscrack
um here's mine.
02:32:57
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah.
02:32:57
GraceAsscrack
4OG is number one.
02:32:59
ThirstTrapLeon
Okay.
02:33:00
GraceAsscrack
2OG is number two.
02:33:02
ThirstTrapLeon
Whoa, okay.
02:33:04
GraceAsscrack
Remake... GameCube Remake is number three.
02:33:08
Steve-O
yeah
02:33:08
GraceAsscrack
And then 4 Remake, and then 2 Remake.
02:33:12
ThirstTrapLeon
All right.
02:33:12
Steve-O
hold on i might i Hold on.
02:33:12
ThirstTrapLeon
All right.
02:33:13
Steve-O
I might need to swap out seven.
02:33:14
ThirstTrapLeon
Nah, nah.
02:33:15
Steve-O
I might need to swap out seven.
02:33:15
ThirstTrapLeon
Don't let them peer pressure you. Don't let them peer pressure you.
02:33:17
Steve-O
No, going to put Resident Evil 2 OG at five.
02:33:19
GraceAsscrack
Listen, dog, you...
02:33:19
Steve-O
Instead of seven. oh gee
02:33:21
GraceAsscrack
You saw...
02:33:22
Steve-O
at the at at five
02:33:25
GraceAsscrack
Instead of seven?
02:33:26
Steve-O
instead of seven
02:33:27
GraceAsscrack
Yeah, but like, this is this is what I meant. You guys are like group you guys are still mentally grouping them together, it feels like.
02:33:33
Steve-O
I am mentally grouping them together.
02:33:34
GraceAsscrack
You know?
02:33:35
Steve-O
yeah
02:33:35
GraceAsscrack
And I actually tried to make it, you know... Yeah, I had to make it hard for myself.
02:33:42
ThirstTrapLeon
Oh, I...
02:33:43
GraceAsscrack
Because, like, yeah, if we grouped them together, my rankings changed completely, I think.
02:33:48
ThirstTrapLeon
Again, I think...
02:33:51
GraceAsscrack
um If we grouped the remakes together...
02:33:51
ThirstTrapLeon
I just think it's Resident Evil 1.
02:33:54
GraceAsscrack
If we group the remakes together, 4 remake isnt isn't my number one Resident Evil at that point.
02:34:01
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah.
02:34:02
GraceAsscrack
It would probably be... If we group the remakes together, it's it's the remake 1.
02:34:04
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah.
02:34:08
GraceAsscrack
Oh yeah, okay.
02:34:08
Steve-O
Mm-hmm.
02:34:08
GraceAsscrack
So if we group them, then my top 5 would be remake, and then 4 remake, and then 2 remake, and then...
02:34:22
GraceAsscrack
ah Nemesis. Resident Evil 3 Requiem maybe makes my top five. We grouped the remakes together.
02:34:33
GraceAsscrack
i would say Requiem makes my top five. That's saying something, right?
02:34:38
Steve-O
That's something. Hey, that's like, really? Like, if you think about it, Requiem is the best mainline Resident Evil game since 4.
02:34:40
GraceAsscrack
That's saying something. And I think...
02:34:42
ThirstTrapLeon
Well, this sounds like
02:34:47
Steve-O
It does.
02:34:47
GraceAsscrack
Yeah, that says a lot. Like that it would make my top five.
02:34:49
ThirstTrapLeon
You know, this this sounds like John in two months is going to be like, he's going to treat it like seven and eight. he' Oh, it's a kill. Under the Suarez rules, that it's a kill.
02:34:58
GraceAsscrack
It might be. I don't know, dude.
02:34:59
Steve-O
Nah, nah, dude.
02:34:59
ThirstTrapLeon
Dude, that's fucking wild,
02:35:00
GraceAsscrack
It depends.
02:35:00
Steve-O
Nah,
Collectibles and Character Design
02:35:01
Steve-O
dude. you You have to just show him a picture of Leon to remind him.
02:35:01
ThirstTrapLeon
man.
02:35:03
GraceAsscrack
Let me play... Let me play through it like 20 more times and then we'll see.
02:35:07
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah.
02:35:08
GraceAsscrack
But that's the thing. like I don't know. um I'm interested to see how the how they um the subsequent playthroughs feel. if like Because, again, as somebody who's beaten Resident Evil 4 and Resident Evil 4 Remake several thousands of times, right?
02:35:26
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah. Yeah.
02:35:28
GraceAsscrack
Like, there are times where it's, like, there are points in the game where I feel like I need to get, need to just get through. Specifically, like, the Ashley stuff, right?
02:35:39
GraceAsscrack
And, and again, like, first playthrough, like, the way they did it in the remake was great, right?
02:35:40
ThirstTrapLeon
yeah
02:35:45
GraceAsscrack
I thought it was really cool. Like, you could fucking, you know, you could throw fucking torch lamps at at the dudes now, like, and then. okay it's It's hard. It's hard. to It's also really hard to group the remakes together because.
02:36:01
GraceAsscrack
um in my opinion, the remakes adding in the extra stuff really does separate it from the original product, too. But then again, at the same time, it's like but then when you want to talk about what your favorite game in the series is, you know, um I don't know, man, it's it's hard.
02:36:23
Steve-O
It's hard because it's like you always have like an ever-changing perspective on games.
02:36:27
GraceAsscrack
The real question is, am i will I have one of those statues or both of those statues come come fall this year?
02:36:27
Steve-O
so
02:36:33
Steve-O
i think I think you could be proud to have both of those statues.
02:36:33
GraceAsscrack
I don't know.
02:36:36
GraceAsscrack
But you know what?
02:36:36
Steve-O
I'm not telling you what to buy, but I think like I don't think either of those characters, I mean, especially not Leon. We know that already, but we I don't think Grace is an Ethan.
02:36:44
GraceAsscrack
Maybe I'll just get Grace.
02:36:45
Steve-O
I don't think Grace is an Ethan.
02:36:46
GraceAsscrack
Maybe I'll just get the Grace one.
02:36:48
ThirstTrapLeon
I think...
02:36:48
Steve-O
you Really? You're going to skip out on Leon?
02:36:49
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah.
02:36:51
GraceAsscrack
Well, I already have my Resident Evil 4 Leon one where he doesn't have TB. And he looks... and he looks He's in top shape. I'm looking at him right now.
02:36:58
Steve-O
Hey, would you buy an Arthur Morgan statue or would you not?
02:37:02
GraceAsscrack
If they...
02:37:02
Steve-O
Because had TB.
02:37:02
GraceAsscrack
Dude, if they did...
02:37:03
Steve-O
He had TB.
02:37:04
GraceAsscrack
If they if if Rockstar actually like used that IP to create... To make stuff to sell, I would buy all of it. Trust me. But like... Yeah, i mean...
02:37:15
Steve-O
You're handpicking your TB characters.
02:37:17
GraceAsscrack
you know You know what, though? you know i am I am slightly regretting not trying to get that that watch, though. Because... Somebody has the two pack of both of them.
02:37:30
GraceAsscrack
Remember that it was like the Leon one was 2000 bucks and the grace one was like 1400 bucks or some shit.
02:37:31
Steve-O
Yeah.
02:37:37
GraceAsscrack
Right.
02:37:37
Steve-O
Yeah.
02:37:38
GraceAsscrack
Somebody has both at the two pack of both of them sealed on eBay. And it's like four days left and there's already like 20 bids and it's already over $8,000 for both.
02:37:48
Steve-O
Jesus.
02:37:48
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah,
02:37:50
GraceAsscrack
So I'm like, damn dude. Like if I, if I wanted to fucking go into debt, to get something like that probably could have been the the one thing that appreciate.
02:38:01
GraceAsscrack
it But again, like those values might fall like a couple of years later.
02:38:04
Steve-O
When you guys were playing, every time you saw the watches, did you go, damn, that's like a $2,000 watch?
02:38:09
ThirstTrapLeon
yeah I kind of, ah you know, there was a part of me that was like, how much does Grace make?
02:38:09
Steve-O
Leon?
02:38:13
ThirstTrapLeon
Like for so her character traits, right? Like ah a nebbish shy girl.
02:38:16
GraceAsscrack
Well, she works for the FBI. She's probably
02:38:18
ThirstTrapLeon
i know, but she's shy. Like she doesn't strike me as somebody who that would buy a $2,000 watch. Okay.
02:38:22
ThirstTrapLeon
Okay.
02:38:22
GraceAsscrack
maybe, maybe it was a watch that cause that is an older style.
02:38:26
GraceAsscrack
Hamilton so maybe her mom left it to her or something and that's why she wears it that's actually interesting when you guys play through it like pay attention during the Alyssa stuff and see if she's wearing the watch or not is that because that would be something pretty cool if they in she's got yeah she's got like uh she's got like a trench coat on but like just see just try to see if you can see something that she's wearing on her wrist you know
02:38:31
ThirstTrapLeon
okay
02:38:31
Steve-O
That makes sense.
02:38:38
Steve-O
That'd actually be something.
02:38:41
ThirstTrapLeon
I think she well, she has a hoodie on, I think so. Her sleeves are covered. Yeah. All right.
02:38:53
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah.
02:38:53
GraceAsscrack
Because you're right.
02:38:54
GraceAsscrack
like it doesn't seem She doesn't seem like the kind of person that would wear a fucking automatic watch just whenever she wanted to.
02:39:00
ThirstTrapLeon
yeah
02:39:00
GraceAsscrack
you know Whereas Leon, man of taste and you know he's refined.
02:39:05
Steve-O
These were fine.
02:39:07
GraceAsscrack
He loves old revolvers. Dude, when he twirled the fucking Requiem after I say oh was like, this guy fucking knows he's the fucking goat.
02:39:12
ThirstTrapLeon
Oh, that was so sick.
02:39:17
GraceAsscrack
Like he knows he's the goat. Like imagine knowing you're the goat and still being sad from trauma. That That's <unk>s how it is.
02:39:25
Steve-O
he's still talking to Sherry Berkin too I love that that was great yeah like where's Claire where's Claire there
02:39:25
GraceAsscrack
You know?
02:39:28
GraceAsscrack
Dude, that's his that's like his daughter, dude.
02:39:29
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah.
02:39:30
GraceAsscrack
You know?
02:39:31
ThirstTrapLeon
I need some clay.
02:39:31
GraceAsscrack
Even though Sten said it wouldn't be as bad.
02:39:32
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah.
02:39:34
GraceAsscrack
it wouldn't be nearly as bad. He isn't even playing this game. He said it wouldn't be nearly as bad if he was smashing her.
02:39:39
ThirstTrapLeon
definitely
02:39:41
Steve-O
it's it's
02:39:41
ThirstTrapLeon
That would be that wouldd be pretty rough.
02:39:43
Steve-O
It's because of science.
02:39:43
GraceAsscrack
Pretty, pretty fucking rough.
02:39:44
ThirstTrapLeon
I'd lose. i'd put him I'd put him in the Epstein files if I found that out.
02:39:48
Steve-O
That'd be bad.
02:39:48
ThirstTrapLeon
right brown Absolutely not.
02:39:48
Steve-O
That would be bad. He's not Lea DiCaprio.
02:39:50
GraceAsscrack
Yeah, that's some, like, Yeah, that's some Woody Allen shit, dude. it Literally his adopted daughter, basically. But, ah like, addie how do you feel, because I was telling Devin about this, or we were talking about it, like, you know, like, you think Grace is, like, trying to get in on on Leon a little bit.
02:40:08
GraceAsscrack
And there was the moment, there was the moment where she, like, wakes him up, and Leon, like like, from his fucking TB seizure that
02:40:09
Steve-O
No.
DLC Speculations and Story Expansions
02:40:18
GraceAsscrack
he had.
02:40:18
GraceAsscrack
And he was just like, hey, you. And i was like, oh, she's cooked. She's fucking, she's head over heels now.
02:40:22
Steve-O

02:40:27
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah.
02:40:27
GraceAsscrack
Yeah, it's over.
02:40:29
Steve-O
That's how he guaranteed that.
02:40:30
ThirstTrapLeon
Dude, she's having a flirty-ass phone call at the end of the game.
02:40:33
GraceAsscrack
And not only not only that, but he he left he left Emily alive and they were able to save her.
02:40:33
Steve-O
Yeah.
02:40:40
ThirstTrapLeon
Oh, man. i
02:40:41
Steve-O
Okay.
02:40:42
ThirstTrapLeon
Dude, i I'll be honest.
02:40:43
Steve-O
I didn't think that was...
02:40:43
ThirstTrapLeon
That was fucking... That was corny.
02:40:45
Steve-O
hate the vitals.
02:40:46
ThirstTrapLeon
I didn't hit any vitals.
02:40:46
GraceAsscrack
Really? didn't like that?
02:40:47
ThirstTrapLeon

02:41:22
Steve-O
You know what?
02:41:22
ThirstTrapLeon
Nah.
02:41:23
Steve-O
Maybe the game should have been smart enough and been like, oh, I lit her ass up.
02:41:23
ThirstTrapLeon
Dude, dude.
02:41:27
GraceAsscrack
Like, the the red this the Reddit is like, dude, she fucking died. Like...
02:41:31
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah, that was the thing, like...
02:41:32
Steve-O
Yeah.
02:41:32
GraceAsscrack
Like, she died and yeah and and Grace tried to do it like CPR and shit. Like, she was dead.
02:41:36
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah, that was that was intense, dude. That was an intense...
02:41:39
GraceAsscrack
he didn't He didn't have to
02:41:40
Steve-O
Yeah.
02:41:41
GraceAsscrack
He didn't have to hit her vitals. She was already gone.
02:41:44
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah, she was fucking dead, and then she turned into a potato, yeah. A twice-baked potato with fangs.
02:41:52
Steve-O
fucking SCPS looking motherfucker nah nah nah just some vitals
02:41:54
ThirstTrapLeon
Nah, nah, nah, dude. I only hit her in the shoulders. Shoulders and I grazed her.
02:41:58
GraceAsscrack
So as as s as somebody who played the the DLCs for the the other, for 7 and 8, do they like just make you play as, like do they add a
02:41:59
ThirstTrapLeon
Okay.
02:42:11
GraceAsscrack
other playable characters to play as or I mean they they did well Ethan's daughter right in eight
02:42:13
Steve-O
oh in 7 they did yeah
02:42:15
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah, and and considering consider it's the same game director, Seven's DLC is fucking legendary. And...
02:42:24
GraceAsscrack
oh yeah because they have the fucking yeah they got yeah they have not a hero like six different perspectives right if seven or four four
02:42:26
Steve-O
That's Joe, Joe Baker.
02:42:27
ThirstTrapLeon
well Well, so it comes with not a hero. ah it also... Yeah, it has... ah Which is great, honestly. And then it has... um
02:42:40
GraceAsscrack
No, six for the two two remake DLC that I didn't play.
02:42:40
ThirstTrapLeon
Well... Yeah, and then there's like Ethan, like there's a cool gameplay mechanic modes, like Ethan must die. is It's a randomizer mode. And then there's the fucking Jack or Joe Baker, who's power bombing swamp monster.
02:42:52
Steve-O
Joe Baker. Yeah.
02:42:55
ThirstTrapLeon
Like, dude.
02:42:55
GraceAsscrack
you're
02:42:57
ThirstTrapLeon
So, because one of the things, yeah one of the things I was talking to John about is I was like, there's, I don't want say Claire Erasure.
02:42:59
GraceAsscrack
expecting some good DLC.
02:43:08
ThirstTrapLeon
Like she's clearly a thing, but
02:43:09
GraceAsscrack
Yeah, yeah. Can we talk about that? Because i felt i felt ah i thought two two different types of ways when I hit when i hit RPD, right?
02:43:11
Steve-O
Mm-hmm.
02:43:19
GraceAsscrack
I felt for Leon, you know, it was tugging at my heart heartstrings because it said the hero returns, right? Like that's the name of the achievement. But it's like, oh, there was another fucking hero that was also very specifically vital to...
02:43:37
GraceAsscrack
everything else that happened in the series named Claire Redfield, like where's she at?
02:43:41
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah. They were...
02:43:42
GraceAsscrack
Like, she's the hero too. Like, are we going to address that too?
02:43:44
ThirstTrapLeon
She was... And she should be equally as traumatized, you know? Like...
02:43:49
GraceAsscrack
Even more so, I think. Cause like, because it was her brother.
02:43:51
Steve-O
Yeah.
02:43:54
GraceAsscrack
I guess maybe if Chris died, then yeah, maybe her trauma is less.
02:43:57
ThirstTrapLeon
like Like, maybe Leon didn't take as much away from it because, you know, he's a cop and all that.
02:44:00
GraceAsscrack
Yeah.
02:44:02
ThirstTrapLeon
But, like, still, she had a... yeah She has the Raccoon City disease. She's a... Definitely has that baggage. And again, she was just as important to them getting out as as Leon was.
02:44:13
GraceAsscrack
yeah yeah
02:44:17
ThirstTrapLeon
And the fact that she doesn't even get a name drop is interesting.
02:44:17
GraceAsscrack
you know maybe maybe they really maybe there is something to your theory steve maybe they really are going to code veronica next because they they could address they could address they could address all this stuff yeah they could address all of this stuff in a code veronica remake like it's really like you know you get
02:44:25
Steve-O
I mean, they've got it, right?
02:44:27
ThirstTrapLeon
That seems like it should be the next one.
02:44:34
ThirstTrapLeon
But what if, you know, they can tease me with a ah Claire, a Claire DLC. in in nine.
02:44:41
GraceAsscrack
Nah, save it for the whole game.
02:44:43
Steve-O
I think we're going to get an Ada DLC.
02:44:46
ThirstTrapLeon
I'm good on Ada.
02:44:46
GraceAsscrack
Dude, I wish.
02:44:47
ThirstTrapLeon
I don't need any more Ada.
02:44:48
GraceAsscrack
You're psycho.
02:44:49
Steve-O
She's got, dude, she's probably got Funky Hand too, man.
02:44:52
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah, probably. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, maybe her clone melt. Oh, fuck. Sixth, so bad.
02:44:52
GraceAsscrack
She's also a clone.
02:44:59
Steve-O
her clone Her clone didn't get the T-virus.
02:45:03
GraceAsscrack
Man, I want to know who the fucking the the wolf dude was that landed down with the...

GraceAsscrack
Yeah. Yeah. fri' Fris Redfield with his with his fur coat that he had when he when he when he descended from the helicopter.

02:45:28
Steve-O

GraceAsscrack

02:46:04
ThirstTrapLeon

02:46:14
ThirstTrapLeon

02:46:14
Steve-O
We could add pistols.
02:46:20
Steve-O
Oh, they're definitely going to put mercenaries in them, right?
02:46:23
GraceAsscrack
We could play as Diet Wesker, and it's not going be nearly as fun as Resident Evil 4 Wesker, who's the fucking...
02:46:29
Steve-O

02:52:37
ThirstTrapLeon
No, no, he he he he he confirmed he hit credits.
02:52:38
Steve-O
He said it in the Resident Evil channel.
02:52:40
GraceAsscrack
ah
02:52:41
Steve-O
Yeah.
02:52:41
GraceAsscrack
Hold on.
02:52:41
Steve-O
i
02:52:41
GraceAsscrack
Let me see.
02:52:42
ThirstTrapLeon
He's like top five, he said?
02:52:43
Steve-O
I've got some Tim thoughts. He... ah
02:52:46
GraceAsscrack
right. Let's hear it.
02:52:47
Steve-O
So real quick, Tim, Tim thoughts.
02:52:47
GraceAsscrack
What did he say?
02:52:49
Steve-O
He said, ah did do do to do um I'm scrolling up. Um, oh, he, okay. I'm sorry. Uh, he said, ah it's at least a 9.8. I did feel that it got a little fan servicey towards the end. Uh, I get that going back to RPD is just fan service in itself, but I don't think I needed a hatchet fight specifically to give Leon another one V one knives only versus Krauser moment.
02:53:16
Steve-O
But it's, It was fucking phenomenal anyway.
02:53:16
ThirstTrapLeon
Nah, Tim, that's a bad take.
02:53:19
GraceAsscrack
Are you fucking kidding me, bro? That was his nitpick with the game?
02:53:24
ThirstTrapLeon
Oh, that hunk fight was just, you know what?
02:53:25
GraceAsscrack
oh my god.
02:53:26
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah.
02:53:27
GraceAsscrack
You know what?
02:53:27
ThirstTrapLeon
john John, just send him a knife.
02:53:28
GraceAsscrack
He didn't he didn't play.
02:53:29
ThirstTrapLeon
Just send him a picture of a knife.
02:53:29
GraceAsscrack
Dude.
02:53:31
Steve-O
but
02:53:31
ThirstTrapLeon
I'm coming for you. Send him picture of your multi-tool and be like, count your days.
02:53:33
GraceAsscrack
There's no way.
02:53:36
GraceAsscrack
Speaking of which, these games would go way faster if they had a fucking if they gave DSO and RPD one multi-tool would solve half of these problems.
02:53:36
Steve-O
Count your days.
02:53:46
GraceAsscrack
You know?
02:53:47
Steve-O
and a Leatherman. All
02:53:48
ThirstTrapLeon
Considering, uh, yeah, I got weirdly emotional when I found that Jack.
02:53:48
GraceAsscrack
Give him a Leatherman. Yeah, get him a Leatherman.
02:53:51
Steve-O
right.
02:53:51
GraceAsscrack
But yeah, okay.
02:53:51
Steve-O
Let's, let's, let's ah ah lightning round our, ah
02:53:55
GraceAsscrack
Fucking Tim, dude.
02:53:55
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah.
02:53:56
GraceAsscrack
Are you serious?
02:53:58
ThirstTrapLeon
Man.
02:53:59
GraceAsscrack
He didn't even know that it was Hunk.
02:53:59
ThirstTrapLeon
That'd
02:54:01
GraceAsscrack
Does he even know who Hunk is? Like what?
02:54:02
ThirstTrapLeon
be really funny, dude.
02:54:03
Steve-O
I mean, i said, i mean, I said afterwards, I was like, I was like, i really liked the Leon versus hunk moment.
02:54:06
GraceAsscrack
What the fuck?
02:54:09
Steve-O
So maybe he's like, hunk.
02:54:10
ThirstTrapLeon
He's like, who's that? but
02:54:12
Steve-O
Are you talking about some sort of handsome man?
02:54:12
ThirstTrapLeon
and
02:54:13
Steve-O
Did you, did you just say Leon's name twice?
02:54:15
GraceAsscrack
Oh my god, dude. Don't even go there.
02:54:19
Steve-O
It's the Ra's al Ghul moment, baby.
02:54:21
ThirstTrapLeon
Wait, is this a text conversation or is this in ah in the Discord?
02:54:21
Steve-O
This is Discord DMs.
02:54:25
ThirstTrapLeon
Oh, Discord DMs.
02:54:26
GraceAsscrack
Bro.
02:54:27
Steve-O
Yeah, because i I sent a little gif after he beat it, so he was messaging me.
02:54:27
ThirstTrapLeon
Okay, okay.
02:54:27
GraceAsscrack
Oh my God. Oh God.
02:54:31
Steve-O

02:54:32
GraceAsscrack
Well, thanks for,
02:54:32
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah, well, you know what? Dude, it's going to be 2 in the morning. John's just going sweaty thinking about this.
02:54:38
GraceAsscrack
I'm going to wake up in a cold sweat.
02:54:39
Steve-O
but
02:54:39
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah, I was going say, that's
02:54:40
GraceAsscrack
Like what? That's like the opposite of like, they nail Colossus. It's like,
02:54:44
Steve-O
yeah
02:54:45
GraceAsscrack
No, that's the fucking coolest part of the game! Are you serious, dude?
02:54:49
Steve-O
I think...
02:54:50
GraceAsscrack
And he's, like, fucking downplaying the Krauser fight like that was a bad thing in Resident Evil 4.
02:54:51
Steve-O
think...
02:54:54
GraceAsscrack
Like, it give me a fucking break, bro.
02:54:56
Steve-O
the I think...
02:54:56
ThirstTrapLeon
yeah but
02:54:58
Steve-O
I think...
02:54:58
GraceAsscrack
Are you fucking serious, dude?
02:55:00
Steve-O
Requiem just became Jon's new favorite game just to spite
02:55:03
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah.
02:55:06
GraceAsscrack
Like, how is that... That is the one thing he took away from like, it's not a 9.8 because of fucking, or it's not a 10 because he fought Hunk with a knife and a hatchet.
02:55:18
Steve-O
He did say, to be fair, he did say ah it was a, he he he said it was a masterpiece.
02:55:21
GraceAsscrack
Bro.
02:55:25
Steve-O
And um
02:55:29
GraceAsscrack
Devin, davin haven dain Devin, dain Devin,
02:55:29
Steve-O
he said, i don't think it's a perfect 10 out of 10, but it's close.
02:55:33
GraceAsscrack
heaven and dad and It's close to a perfect 10, but the the the one thing that should make it a perfect 10 makes it not a perfect 10.
02:55:39
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah.
02:55:41
Steve-O
Yeah.
02:55:41
ThirstTrapLeon
I didn't really care for the Mr. X callback. don't know why I had to go back to Raccoon City Police Department.
02:55:47
ThirstTrapLeon
Okay. Yeah, my go yeah yeah
02:55:47
GraceAsscrack
Yeah, where's that complaint?
02:55:50
GraceAsscrack
And RPD was fan service? Yeah, but also, like, why what? What, dog?
Upcoming Movies and Gaming Announcements
02:55:56
Steve-O
All right, we got to do a lightning round.
02:55:57
ThirstTrapLeon
bye-bye.
02:55:57
GraceAsscrack
Okay, sorry, sorry, sorry.
02:55:57
Steve-O
Lightning round. No, we're good. We're good.
02:56:00
ThirstTrapLeon
Jesus. All right right. We got switch gears. Okay. All right.
02:56:03
Steve-O
All right, so lightning round.
02:56:04
ThirstTrapLeon
okay
02:56:05
Steve-O
A24 announced the King Pixels Backrooms movie is coming out.
02:56:05
ThirstTrapLeon
right
02:56:08
GraceAsscrack
Thank you.
02:56:09
Steve-O
We got a little teaser trailer for it.
02:56:11
ThirstTrapLeon
Yes.
02:56:12
Steve-O
I'm stoked. This looks awesome.
02:56:14
ThirstTrapLeon
That does look sick. um There's a trailer for, to me, it's funny because there's another trailer that we'll talk about in a few minutes that, you know, ah to me, this kind of, I was like, oh, this reminds me In a Violent Nature. Not the way they shot it, but ah this trailer called, this horror movie called Dolly just kind of looks like that little Kind of grindhouse-y vibe.
02:56:36
ThirstTrapLeon
Looks kind of creepy.
02:56:36
Steve-O
Mm-hmm.
02:56:38
ThirstTrapLeon
I dug it. We'll just go in order. I won't be cute about it. We talked about Wolverine getting a release date. Pretty sick. ah Speaking of animes, I haven't watched. Neon Genesis, even Gellion, however you want to pronounce it, gets a new anime penned by Yoko Taro, which that's that's the selling point.
02:57:01
ThirstTrapLeon
That's a near the near guy, basically. um Chris posted, I haven't watched this, a trailer for Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma, which I believe is are the people behind i Saw the TV Glow.
02:57:18
ThirstTrapLeon
I'm guessing, but I think that is the case.
02:57:21
Steve-O
OK.
02:57:22
ThirstTrapLeon
I personally did not love that movie, but I understand it's it's quite liked.
02:57:28
GraceAsscrack
Thank you.
02:57:29
ThirstTrapLeon
You know whatever. I didn't see the trailer. What I did see a trailer for, and Chris definitely loves this movie, Mortal Kombat 2. All Johnny Cage, all day. I'm vibing with it.
02:57:42
Steve-O
That's fair.
02:57:43
ThirstTrapLeon
Limited run games might be one of my favorite game studios or publishers or whatever you want to call them.
02:57:44
Steve-O
More Johnny.
02:57:52
ThirstTrapLeon
ah Because they just kind of go, hey, remember these sick games from your childhood? We made a compilation.
02:57:58
Steve-O
oh
02:57:59
ThirstTrapLeon
Enjoy it. This one is for Marvel games, Marvel beat them ups. from the good ones to they were the really, really, really bad ones like, you know, X-Men Arcade our Arcade's Revenge, I should say, the Silver Surfer game.
02:58:15
ThirstTrapLeon
Some of these games are notoriously god awful, but I don't know.
02:58:20
Steve-O
yeah
02:58:21
ThirstTrapLeon
There's just something really cool about just putting all those together.
02:58:26
Steve-O
It's a fun package. You're getting the X-Men arcade game, which is already like a banger, and it has online multiplayer.
02:58:29
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah. ah
02:58:31
Steve-O
So.
02:58:32
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah, I don't even know how this is a story. I mean, outside of it actually being a story. But ah Steve, I know you're really hoping for that Sony Spider-Verse spinoff.
02:58:44
Steve-O
I was I was stoked.
02:58:45
ThirstTrapLeon
But sorry, they've officially killed it.
02:58:46
Steve-O
Craven, I'm craving the Craven.
02:58:49
ThirstTrapLeon
Kraven, shockingly, that thing that we all knew wasn't going to do well, didn't do well.
02:58:49
Steve-O
Why?
02:58:53
ThirstTrapLeon
And they've they've canceled all those plans. So the sorry, Venom. Sorry, Kraven. Sorry, Morbius. figure it out. So he's like, we'll, we'll take another crack at it in like four years before we lose the rights to keep the rights.
02:59:02
Steve-O
Pour one out.
02:59:09
ThirstTrapLeon
um Oh man, this one, this one stings, I guess.
02:59:13
Steve-O
This sucks. This sucks.
02:59:15
ThirstTrapLeon
um
02:59:18
ThirstTrapLeon
Warner Brothers Discovery originally signed the deal pen and paper to Netflix In terms of just kind of acquisition mergers and then things falling through, kind of crazy news, but they are now, they've officially been outbid by paramounts Paramount. Paramount Netflix chose to not raise their bid.
02:59:39
ThirstTrapLeon
ah It's kind of, both options are gross. Paramount just seemed a little bit more gross because it's very obvious what they're doing. They want control of CNN. The Ellisons have gross,
02:59:49
Steve-O
They want control the media.
02:59:52
ThirstTrapLeon
gross ties to the current administration as well as they're just using a lot of Saudi money, which is just, you know, it's just, it's just ugly all around, but you know, were yeah.
03:00:05
Steve-O
Yeah.
03:00:07
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah.
03:00:08
Steve-O
it was It was shitty before, but we got the bad ending of the shitty thing.
03:00:11
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah. Yeah. This is like both options are bad. this is the worst of the two options. um plus The people that are excited that this is a thing are the worst people that you know, to be honest.
03:00:24
Steve-O
Yeah.
03:00:25
ThirstTrapLeon
um Man, I want to be positive. I am still going to be positive. I do not understand why the first live action image that was posted officially is this weird picture of Kratos and Atreus.
03:00:45
Steve-O
Why'd you post this weird AI picture? What is this?
03:00:47
ThirstTrapLeon
five
03:00:47
Steve-O
Where's the real one?
03:00:48
ThirstTrapLeon
I don't like dude dude it's just an awkward pose
03:00:50
GraceAsscrack
It looks so bad. But no, no.
03:00:51
Steve-O
It looks so bad.
03:00:52
GraceAsscrack
To be fair, to be fair, we were saying the same shit about The Last of Us when they released those pictures.
03:00:58
ThirstTrapLeon
no listen I get it but it's like no I think they look they look they looked fine and and you know what they did they said here's like a hero shot this is not a hero shot uh
03:01:00
GraceAsscrack
So...
03:01:01
Steve-O
Did we say the same thing about Zelda too? those's all The Zelda pictures?
03:01:05
GraceAsscrack
Yeah, but that's just gonna be bad
03:01:10
GraceAsscrack
going to be bad. paramounts make Paramount's making Zelda, right?
03:01:15
Steve-O
I think... ah
03:01:16
GraceAsscrack
So Donald Trump's going to be Link.
03:01:17
ThirstTrapLeon
Snowden? I thought Sony was...
03:01:18
Steve-O
oh
03:01:18
ThirstTrapLeon
Oh, boy.
03:01:19
GraceAsscrack
Oh, is it Sony? Yeah, you're you're right. It's Sony. Never mind.
03:01:22
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah.
03:01:22
GraceAsscrack
We might be safe.
03:01:23
ThirstTrapLeon
i heard
03:01:23
GraceAsscrack
We won't be safe.
03:01:24
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah. Well, because Morbius didn't work out, so now they're doing that.
03:01:28
Steve-O
Yeah, they kind of ruined Link.
03:01:28
ThirstTrapLeon
um Yeah, it's just like a weird... i don't know, man. Let me see Kratos looking heroic or tough. Not him just going like...
03:01:39
ThirstTrapLeon
well He looks like he's shitting.
03:01:41
Steve-O
Yeah, it looks strange.
03:01:42
ThirstTrapLeon
it's It's just ah an unfortunate picture.
03:01:45
Steve-O
my Are the graphics of the God of War games so good that anything that is like off about it comes out as weird and wrong? Like, is that just where we're at?
03:01:57
ThirstTrapLeon
don't know. It's just because it's like weird because it just looks like really great cosplay, which is a tough line because it's like that is what you want.
03:02:01
Steve-O
Right.
03:02:04
ThirstTrapLeon
You don't want them to change it.
03:02:05
Steve-O
Right.
03:02:07
ThirstTrapLeon
But when it does look like this, it's like, okay.
03:02:10
Steve-O
Is this reverse? What is it? ah Uncanny Valley.
03:02:15
ThirstTrapLeon
It's just... i it Honestly, i think Atreus looks fine. I have no issue with Atreus.
03:02:22
Steve-O
Okay.
03:02:22
GraceAsscrack
I do with his hair product because they didn clearly come
03:02:22
ThirstTrapLeon
It's...
03:02:25
ThirstTrapLeon
No, let him look cool.
03:02:26
Steve-O
Got a little moose in there.
03:02:27
ThirstTrapLeon
Let him look cool, dude.
03:02:27
Steve-O
He's got a little moose.
03:02:28
ThirstTrapLeon
Let him look cool. Apparently, that kid's really good. He was in Night Agent, I think, which is like a show currently airing. People are into him. like They're like, oh, this kid's pretty good. so Cool.
03:02:41
ThirstTrapLeon
like ah um I'm alright.
03:02:43
Steve-O
They should have got dipshit Derek.
03:02:43
ThirstTrapLeon
It's just... Yeah. No. No, we do not need to be more attention there. It's just, dude, I don't know. Somebody should be like, that's what we want to go for? Like, this is the one?
03:02:56
ThirstTrapLeon
Somebody signed off and said, yeah, this is the one. This will blow em away. Cool. ah In a Violent Nature 2. Steve, did you ever see this?
03:03:06
Steve-O
No.
03:03:07
ThirstTrapLeon
You should watch it. The first one's great.
03:03:09
Steve-O
Okay.
03:03:10
ThirstTrapLeon
The second one, I think, is going to continue to be great. um Because it's just this with a little bit more of a budget. um The whole vibe of the trailer is fun. Really kind of grindhouse decor.
03:03:23
ThirstTrapLeon
ah Pretty sick.
03:03:26
Steve-O
Okay. Mm-hmm.
03:03:26
ThirstTrapLeon
ah Maybe Sony put this out. Maybe they didn't. But news about... Maybe backtracking a little bit of that Sony hate for the Bluepoint closing. Still, they deserve a lot because Bluepoint still could have done a million other things.
03:03:42
ThirstTrapLeon
But what everybody thought was, why didn't they do Bloodborne? They wanted to. Sony said, we're down from software. Apparently, is they said no. They said, no, we're not comfortable with you doing that.
03:03:56
ThirstTrapLeon
And Sony, even though they own it, they just it's not worth damaging the relationship. So... We just didn't get there.
03:04:03
GraceAsscrack
That would be so interesting, though, if they got, like, fucking...
03:04:08
ThirstTrapLeon
And this is like a, like,
03:04:09
GraceAsscrack
Bloober Studios to do Bloodborne. That would be pretty awesome.
03:04:13
ThirstTrapLeon
yeah. I mean, that'd be, that'd be really insulting.
03:04:15
GraceAsscrack
just to see Just to see the community fucking have a meltdown over it.
03:04:19
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah. To be honest. But ah yeah, there's some stories and I get it. Not everything's like super clear and clean cut because it's real life.
03:04:29
GraceAsscrack
But it's pretty jarring that FromSoftware was the gatekeeper on this one.
03:04:31
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah. Yeah.
03:04:34
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah, but at the end of the day, like Sony misused the studio because they had them working on a live service. Fucking God of War game.
03:04:44
GraceAsscrack
But, you know, yeah, to be fair, like they probably had them working on that because Bloodborne wasn't in the cards, I guess, you know?
03:04:51
ThirstTrapLeon
Well, they were doing that because initially initially they were support studio for Ragnarok and then they're like, oh, you should. And then the live action push happened and they I think it was like one of those like, you know, paper,
03:05:04
ThirstTrapLeon
Blue Points, you know, came up with the idea to do a live action service game. But I think that's one of those scenarios where it's like, I don't think they really said we want to make a live action fucking game.
03:05:16
Steve-O
No, there's no way.
03:05:16
ThirstTrapLeon
And and honestly, I think there were similar stories.
03:05:17
Steve-O
they said that
03:05:19
ThirstTrapLeon
I think Sony Santa Monica wasn't thrilled about a God of War proper game being worked on without Sony Santa Monica being involved.
03:05:28
Steve-O
Yeah.
03:05:29
ThirstTrapLeon
So it's I don't know if you just.
03:05:31
Steve-O
They bought a remake studio, but nobody wanted their games to be remade by an outside company.
03:05:36
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah. And then they just, but again, the live action thing is, it was a total fucking misfire.
03:05:41
Steve-O
I bet you Sony was like, we need to find something for you guys.
03:05:41
ThirstTrapLeon
It's wasted years.
03:05:44
Steve-O
Would you be down to work on a God of War, like spinoff multiplayer game?
03:05:48
GraceAsscrack
Thank you.
03:05:48
Steve-O
And they were like, sure. We just need something.
03:05:52
ThirstTrapLeon
Something.
03:05:52
Steve-O
We need something.
03:05:52
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah. It's,
Sony and Game Trends Discussion
03:05:55
ThirstTrapLeon
I don't know. um So it just more bad news. It it sucks. um Steve, just I just want to vibe check.
03:06:03
Steve-O
Yeah.
03:06:03
ThirstTrapLeon
Did you the Pokemon starters? Did you see anything? Are you vibing?
03:06:07
Steve-O
Oh yeah.

03:06:14
ThirstTrapLeon
Yeah, that's free that's pretty sick.

03:06:30
GraceAsscrack
ah Sam is gonna get it.

Okay. Yeah.
