Introduction to Tony's Game Lounge
00:00:06
Speaker
Welcome to Tony's Game Lounge, a weekly podcast talking gaming news, upcoming releases, and various topics on all things in the gaming industry.
Meet the Hosts: Tony, Aiden, and Zach
00:00:18
Speaker
Hello, everybody, and welcome to a brand new episode of Tony's Game Lounge. I'm your host, Tony Erickson, and joining me this week, he's making his return. It's my Nintendo insider, Aiden.
00:00:32
Speaker
What is going on, folks? It's me from the inside of Nintendo. And if I sound like I'm a bit sick, don't worry. It's not COVID. I've been diagnosed with a rare disease that hasn't been seen since the 1200s. I have been injecting experimental serums and remedies to boost my spirits. All it's done is give me rashes that burn like you wouldn't believe. Anyways, thank you for having me back.
00:00:57
Speaker
Pleasure of pleasure and first time here my old co-host from my old radio show the tryhards It's my boy Zach
00:01:08
Speaker
Yes, hello. I exist, apparently. I went into purgatory for a few years. No one really knows what happened. Even I don't know. I was there. You sit down one day, then it's just a white screen for a couple of years, and the next day you're sitting here again. It's like, oh, hey, hi. How's it going? Hey, you're down in a hurricane booth this time.
00:01:31
Speaker
It's true. This time I am with the most ghetto soundproofing I could come up with. Nice. I'm just in my closet. I was going to do that, but I have a green screen. So what I did is I threw like three blankets on top of it. So I kind of have that as my soundproofing right now.
Deli Meat Debate and Bond Movie Delays
00:01:55
Speaker
So if I were to like yell into it, I won't get as much echo. Hey, that's something.
00:02:02
Speaker
Anyway, we're going to start off this podcast with level one where we ask Zach some questions from the selection screen. We watch your favorite game, your favorite game character, your favorite game soundtrack, your favorite deli meat, and what you're looking forward to in the remainder of 2020.
00:02:28
Speaker
The topic I'm gonna immediately address is the fucking deli meat. I swear to fucking god Fucking deli meat It's gotta be chicken. Oh chicken. Yeah, you gotta get that nice sliced chicken It's good stuff. It's good stuff. We were all the fun. We were all there that day. Oh
00:02:52
Speaker
That fateful day. That fateful day. And yet we didn't get cancelled. And yet we didn't get cancelled. By some miracle. By some miracle. And then I think Joel swore how many more times after that on the show? I want to say Joel swore like at least three times and...
00:03:11
Speaker
Yeah, I had that little incident where I dropped the F-bomb like four or five times in one sentence. Yeah. Yeah, it was multiple times. I still have that clip too. I have everything from the try hard saves. It's all on my hard drive. In post, I need you to edit that in. Yes, I will probably do that. You'll probably be hearing that right now.
00:03:35
Speaker
I am not a deli. Hey, if you go to Subway enough to get, like, meat on sandwich, what do you get? Yeah, what do you get? A vegetable. Really? Actually, you just don't like deli meat? No, I'm joking. It's chicken. Chicken? Okay. It's just, like, whole cut chicken. No, I mean, like, fucking, like, diced chicken. Fucking the weird... the weirds. Yeah, we're gonna go to a song break, guys. Excellent.
00:04:01
Speaker
Anyway, favorite game character, favorite game soundtrack, and what you're looking forward to in the remainder of 2020, Zach. So the only thing I was looking forward to in 2020 was actually a movie, but that got pushed back to 2021 because Daniel Craig said, hey, now's not the time. That was the new Bond movie. Ooh.
00:04:25
Speaker
I'm cautiously excited for. I love the Bond franchise. Fantastic movies. And Daniel Craig was doing a pretty solid job, not a fan of Spectre. So I was cautious that the English doing the opening song, which is kind of a, that's odd. It was, it can't be worse than writings on the wall. I'm sorry. I don't like sand Smith. That song was awful.
00:04:55
Speaker
Okay then, uh, what about, uh, games? So that's always been a tough one for me. I can't really choose a favorite game because I've played so many. It's like, if I go genre to genre, I could probably tell you a favorite. Okay. Give us a three genres, three favorites. Okay. Uh, so the genres I play a lot of would be like RPGs do it, which is my jam.
00:05:26
Speaker
I play a decent amount of VNs, so visual novels. Oh, okay. And I like platformers, even though I'm not very good at platformers, I will fully admit that. Like, I'm the kind of person who dives to the first goomba in the original Mario. Big F. I am dead.
00:05:48
Speaker
can beat Castlevania, no problem, but you know, Mario 1-1. Whoo! Spicy.
Zach's Gaming Preferences
00:05:53
Speaker
It's too bright. The original Ninja Gaiden trilogy. Finish that, easy peasy, but that goomba. That single gumbo. Oh my god. Whoo. Where are the games, sir? What are the games? What are they?
00:06:09
Speaker
Oh, those three genres. I'd probably say Final Fantasy IV for my RPG because that's the one I have the most fond memories of. I fully admit it's not the best one in the franchise. I can go hours into that. But it is my favorite. So out of all the characters in that game, I would probably say Cecil Harvey, the main protagonist of IV, would be my favorite because he's the one who goes through the biggest character arc.
00:06:39
Speaker
And he started the game as a Dark Knight working blindly for a kingdom. He finds the error of his ways and goes on a quest to, you know, save the world as you do in Final Fantasy with the four crystals. But he also changes from a Dark Knight to a Paladin early on to signify his change that he's broken out of who he was. There's a fight when you become Paladin where you fight yourself as a Dark Knight. Like, it's good.
00:07:08
Speaker
Nice. Oh yeah. Sorry. Yeah. Yeah. Visual demo. If I'm going off of the end, literally anything made by key, I'm going to say planetarian for this one. It's really short. There's an anime adaptation. That's like four episodes. Yeah. Okay. I've heard of the anime. That's where I've heard the name before. Fantastic anime, by the way.
00:07:31
Speaker
there's not really any characters to pick from it there's two okay so i'm gonna say the love interest who's a robot oh it's the the main lead doesn't really do much wow and the platformer i'm
Final Fantasy Soundtracks and Series Exploration
00:07:49
Speaker
gonna say castlevania rondo of blood
00:07:52
Speaker
Nice. Because Rictor Belmont's my favorite Belmont. Okay, that was Rictor's. I'm gonna slap you. That was Rictor's game, okay. I was gonna ask which Belmont was it, because again, I only know Simon, and I know Rictor, and I know it's Trevor, right? Yeah, Simon, Rictor, Trevor, nobody cares about any of the other ones. We could talk about Sonya or Christopher, maybe even Leon.
00:08:18
Speaker
But I don't like any of them. I'll give Stoney a credit because she's the first female Belmont. It's like Jolene. Yes. Except worse, because her game's awful. Oof. And favorite game's soundtrack, sir.
00:08:37
Speaker
Well, that one's easy, Final Fantasy. Pick a song from any of them. I'm gonna go with The Twinning from XIV, that one you might know. Okay, I do know it because I use that song in my D&D campaign actually for dungeons.
00:08:55
Speaker
I loved it because there's a lot of things going on that if you were to play Final Fantasy 14 you would understand because it has like six different song motifs going on at the same time. It's a remix of two songs in particular, both of which I love. That being the Crystal Tower theme and the Alexander theme.
00:09:15
Speaker
Okay, then. Fantastic. It's good stuff. Excellent. And with level select out of the way, now we are going into our getting comfy section, where we, it's a bit of a follow
Steve in Smash Bros and Game Releases
00:09:29
Speaker
up. Last week, we talked about Steve making it to Minecraft. However, we recorded it on the Friday, so we didn't actually get to talk about his move review or any of that.
00:09:42
Speaker
I figured to talk about this, probably get one of the biggest advocates for Steven who's really excited to be playing him when he comes out next week. It's next week? Well, it's the 13th, isn't it? Oh my goodness. I'm so excited.
00:10:00
Speaker
Steve, I've been a long time advocate for ever since I gotta say Smash 4. What's the new one? This is Smash 5? Oh, yeah, this is Smash 5. Ever since Smash 4, I was advocating for Steve. I think that there are very few characters that fit the qualifications to be in Super Smash Brothers. His series has been huge.
00:10:27
Speaker
Yeah, not only on Nintendo consoles, but in the world being like, I think, literally the best selling game of all time. I believe that is the case. I believe it is. Yeah. Yeah. And like Nintendo and Microsoft were like getting buddy buddy with each other specifically because of Minecraft.
00:10:50
Speaker
Um, it's a game that you can play for endless hours constantly. Like I'm constantly going back to it. Um, and I definitely was going back to it after they announced Steve super pumped that he's in. He looks like the biggest troll character, which is my that he's made for me. I'm so excited.
00:11:14
Speaker
it just feels so surreal to me like oh no like brawl mods i'd see steven and it's like this is the timeline we live in now right don't put a brawl mod into the official canon it's i mean well i believe the same thing could be also be said about banjo as well though yeah that's it
00:11:36
Speaker
You could say that about most of the roster now. Yeah, you could say most of the roster like Cloud. Cloud, yeah. Cloud when he got dropped, I was like, why? I understand. It's the most popular Final Fantasy, but why him?
00:11:52
Speaker
It yeah, even as like someone who doesn't isn't like a Final Fantasy fan I was okay with him being in because I know how big that franchise is but it is weird that it's Him because he's from seven, right?
00:12:07
Speaker
Yeah, he's the protagonist of Seven. Which was not on Nintendo. Nintendo got one through six, right? Yep, so one through six. They got... Crystal Chronicles. Crystal Chronicles. The best character, honestly, would have been a Chocobo, because they got the... Yeah, they're like the best guy. Chocobo Mystery Dungeon. Chocobo Mystery Dungeon, everybody!
00:12:33
Speaker
That's the newest one. I'm trying to think of the one on Wii. That was one on Wii? I can't think of its name, but I own it. Show them both sports. I own very few games on Wii, but it's all the weird ones. Nice. If you guys ever want to play Guilty Gear, I got like four copies of it. Holy shit. You're prepped.
00:12:59
Speaker
He's prepped for the guilty gear shortage. You need most you controlled guilty gear? I don't know about that. I don't know about that one, Chief. Yeah, I don't know if I need it. It's real bad. But yeah, Steve and his moves, like,
00:13:16
Speaker
They reworked the entire game. Every stage has been reworked so that Steve can mine it. That is bonkers. I can't believe that. What do they mean by that? Does that mean the stages look different now? So let's say Steve's on Corneria. Okay. What's Corneria made of?
00:13:38
Speaker
The stage. Not like the actual planet, the stage. The spaceship? Yeah. Brace! It's the spaceship, it's Great Fox. So when he mines the Great Fox, he gets more iron and redstone. Oh, sweet. Yeah, so it's essentially each stage is giving you different material. Yeah, it's depending on what you mine. Oh, that's dope. See, I'm trying to- However, if you do like the Omega slash Battlefield modes, and it's like a set,
00:14:06
Speaker
I like a preset like things of like you'll get wood dirt wood things things things set things but like Naturally, it'll be like whatever you're mining you're getting. Oh That's that's so cool. I'm so excited. I hate a weird character Solely because it looks like the most interesting character that smash has put out in a long time maybe ever like what character have they redone all the stages for I
00:14:35
Speaker
That's just it, they're doing so much for speed. None of them, but they did give Hero 26 down Bs. The only other characters I can think of would be Ryu, Ken, and Terry, because they had to rework how you did the buttons for them. Oh, yeah. Yeah, that's true. Giving them their actual proper inputs. Yeah, very much. Did that move over to Ultimate?
00:15:03
Speaker
Yeah, Terry can even do is like Terry like when Terry's thing gets like all the way maxed up He's able to use like to rage meter. Yeah, basically a rage meter I'm so happy with how Terry got put in
00:15:22
Speaker
There's nothing that makes me happier than screaming Buster Wolf at people. And of course, with the new character, we also got a new Kirby skin as Kirby now turns into a cube. Yes. I just love that Sakurai, he does it. He's like, doesn't he look funny? And everyone's just like, yes, Sakurai, he does look funny.
00:15:48
Speaker
I'm just so glad they didn't give him, like, a square hat. Like... Because they could have just been lazy with it. They could have just done that, yeah.
00:15:58
Speaker
And they didn't. Kirby hats are like one of the best part of Smash Bros. I don't even play Kirby, but just seeing what his hats are, it's so fun. And then we also got the six new Mii Fighters coming to the game. Three Minecraft skins, we're getting Diamond Armor, we're getting Pig, we're getting Creeper. Aw, man. Oh, excellent.
00:16:27
Speaker
The creeper is a brawler skin as well. It looks so weird, but honestly funny at the same time. Yeah And then we got our three other skins from the Tower of Dragua we got Gil A returning what is that? I don't know what the game is, but why Tower of Dragua
00:16:52
Speaker
Drag you I know what I feel like I felt like you would know it. Oh, that's like an old-school arcade game Yeah, okay. It's old that I was like, I don't know if this is old or new It's old Gil was also like a costume in Smash 4 late. I want to say it was like a
00:17:13
Speaker
like near the end of the lifeline when they added that costume but now it's coming back again um that's cool and uh bomber man the new dynamic skin yeah that's it looks really good it's i feel like the next one bomber man is going to be playable because i think so i think a lot of this trophy yeah i think a lot of assist trophies on it in the next match will probably hopefully get the character treatment yeah
00:17:43
Speaker
And the last one, which made a lot of, which gave us some sad boy hours, sad. Oh yeah, condolences. Travis touchdown.
00:17:56
Speaker
I'm a little sad about that, but you know Aiden consoled me over Facebook messenger Yeah, or snapchat or whichever one it was and it was like hey, he'll be on the next he'll get it He'll get there. Well, here's here's the thing. Here's the thing Tony There's always next match. There's always next match as someone who has been
00:18:18
Speaker
like a Ridley supporter since Brawl. Yeah. And has been like continuously cucked throughout the years. Like, all you got to do is just keep dreaming your dream. And, you know, if you if whoever you want, they'll get in smash. Yeah, they'll get there. I mean, we also got to think of it this way. Hey, he got he's technically in Smash in a form. So that's as good. That's pretty close. Yeah.
00:18:47
Speaker
it's it's not exactly like it's yeah it's not playable by any means you know what you know what if if if they uh when if you have to try the skin on and when you slash somebody with the sword if they can have like an effect we're just blood comes gushing out I'd be okay with that be fighter costume
00:19:09
Speaker
The meat fighters are the most violent players. Exactly. Any last thoughts we want to add on Steven Smash or just the- I feel like eventually there's a chance that some of these characters, because wasn't like K. Rool a spider skin at one point? I think he was in Smash 4. In Smash 4.
00:19:30
Speaker
And like that now he's out there memeing everyone Exactly. Yeah, that's the thing is if they're a fighter skin. There's a good chance that they'll be in the next one I do this. Oh, yeah, go ahead. She do you think there'll be a fighter past three? I don't know what to expect If the money is good enough and it is
00:19:58
Speaker
the money is good enough. Maybe I wasn't expecting a fighter pass too. Fair, fair enough. I'm feeling it's one of those situations where it's what's like how many years we're between four and ultimate kind of thing. Uh, it can't forking about what middle of the we use lifespan 2014. Yeah, 2014. All right. When did ultimate come out?
00:20:29
Speaker
2018 All right, so if it was like a four-year development cycle, then we can probably expect around that maybe for the next smash But that was quite good two years. Yeah, it was quick I don't think they plan on like yeah that quick because of just how bad the how how the Wii U was basically murdered I know yeah, and we haven't
00:20:51
Speaker
Oh, we haven't seen the next one. Yeah. But I mean, as soon as they do that, it's like, okay, well, smash this in the works. Like, yeah, it's, it just is, it just is absolutely something like they'll still probably be making fighter passes and everything until they have to start really diving into the next development cycle. Right. Yeah.
00:21:19
Speaker
It's a good way to think about it. And with that, we're going to jump on into the week in review, where we talk about the news that happened this past week, as well as some of the games that came out. As for games that came out this past week, FIFA 21 came out. Nickelodeon Kart Racers 2 came out. That's got a roster on it. That's got a good roster. And the survivalists from the creators of The Escapists, that came out.
00:21:49
Speaker
Okay, so out of those three games, which one are you boys the most type about? Nickelodeon Kart Racers 2. You see, I'm gonna be the weird one here and say FIFA because I can't play any other kart racing game after playing Garfield Kart.
00:22:11
Speaker
Enough. That is the pinnacle of kart racing. Everything else is bad. It's true. That's already perfect. That's a throwback. We talked about Garfield kart on the premiere, the pilot episode of this podcast. With that being said, I don't even remember the other one. What was it? The survivalists? Survivalists, yeah.
00:22:36
Speaker
I mean, here's the thing. The survivalists, you can tame the monkeys and make them work for you. I can't wait for the monkey uprising and then the planet of the apes happens. Exactly. Wasn't there supposed to be a planet of the apes game? Sorry, this is a tangent. Wasn't that supposed to be a thing?
00:23:01
Speaker
I'm pretty sure. Yeah, but, you know, Telltale happened. Yeah, that sucks. That would have been cool. Ripperino. Ripperoni.
00:23:14
Speaker
As for news this week, For Honor has been confirmed as another next-gen compatible game, and you'll be able to transfer all your data into the game as well. And PlayStation 5 also confirmed that a good chunk of the PlayStation 4 games, you'll be able to play on the PS5, and they also talked about how you'll be able to transfer all your digital games to the PS5 as well.
00:23:38
Speaker
Well, that's pretty cool. Yeah. In Valorant news, October 13th will be the start of Valorant Axe 3, where they add the new agent, Sky, and a new stage to the game as well.
00:23:52
Speaker
Alright, so I see the advertising for Valorant a lot. It's a really generic shooty game to me. It's CSGO, but with a paladin skin over it. So it's CSGO, but every character has unique abilities. So it's like better Overwatch. It's CSGO, but yeah, basically.
00:24:16
Speaker
That still sounds really boring to me. I'm sorry, I just don't get the appeal. I understand. If you want to see some like okay Valorant streams, our good friend SirWiggle's the great streams that sometimes over on his Twitch channel. You know, let me just get my plug real quick.
00:24:40
Speaker
I'll have to check it out, because all I ever see is the trailers for it. So it's one of those, if I see the game more in action maybe, but... Fair enough. In Snacks That Are Bugs news, Bugsnax is coming out right at launch with a PlayStation 5. What is Bugsnax?
00:25:04
Speaker
Okay, one of those things you like candy crickets so bug snacks You play as you little like I want to say like okay You know how like there's the memes going around of how like there's the among us little nublet dude and how they can evolve into the fall guys little nublet dude and
00:25:22
Speaker
Okay, is it like the next poke evolution of basically except it's like a bit furrier Oh, it's slightly for like it looks like they have like a fur but like that's how this race of people are Basically, there are snacks out there. Well, there are bugs out there that are based off of snacks And if you eat that a body part becomes that food So that's what that was called. I'm looking at pictures. This looks weird bug snacks. Oh
00:25:51
Speaker
Interesting and they the new trailer for the game showed off the voice actors in the game We have such people as Yuri lowenthal the voice of Peter Parker In the spider-man. Yo, yo, hey Hanamura. Yeah, we have Roger Craig Smith Sonic and we also have Shante's voice actor Christina V and she's she's voicing some of the bugs and
00:26:19
Speaker
Nice, that means I can expect to hear Taylor Mars. There's your throwback. I'm seeing here on Google images, Bugsnax. I did a Bugsnax search and there's a Taco Mantis made of burritos and Doritos and peppers. I will now be purchasing the PlayStation 5 launch.
00:26:44
Speaker
But which one? Because you have to remember, there's the one that can play the physical game, and the digital one that can't play the physical game. Okay, I'm already out. I'm already out. Fuck this. I just don't like the design of it. It looks weird. It's a router. Just let me pick one GameCube. Just give me the GameCube. Remember when games were just like pop in Mario?
00:27:07
Speaker
You either have to get the regular 64 or the one that's like see-through plastic. Okay, see-through plastic. It does the same thing, but... Then I want the see-through plastic still. You either get the original Xbox or the Mountain Dew one.
00:27:26
Speaker
In PlayStation trophy news trophies are getting overhauled big major time The little trophy ranks that you get now go instead of them. They're all getting new icons And the rank now goes from 1 to 999 instead of 1 to 100 so that's cool
00:27:46
Speaker
Yeah, so that's actually active now because I went on my PS4 earlier. And I noticed it went from like level 14 to 200 something. Yeah. Yeah. I think I'll be in the four or five hundreds, maybe six hundreds, even honestly, with how many trophies I have. I've got a lot. I was perplexed by it.
00:28:07
Speaker
Yeah. In samurai news, Ghost of Tsushima is getting its Legends mode and a new game plus on October 16th as well as the ability to recruit and pet doggos. I'm sorry, hold up. You're telling me a game didn't have a new game plus? I mean, it was the same thing with like when Spider-Man launched. That didn't have new game plus until an update. A single player game.
00:28:38
Speaker
Didn't have New Game Plus. It did not. What a timeline we live in.
00:28:47
Speaker
in, oh yeah, in big legal news. Microsoft has sided with Epic Games in the Apple versus Fortnite lawsuit. They have openly said that in a statement. And we now have a proper release date set for the lawsuit for the court whole thing to begin. It'll be in May, 2021. So it won't end until like May, 2023.
00:29:15
Speaker
No legal proceedings go probably yeah, so uh That's what that's looking like in guys who fall news fall guys season 2 is out Including four new levels which uh according to my discord. That's right. We also have an official discord 20s game of its discord One of the new levels wall guys is absolute hell. It's it's apparently even worse than the egg game
00:29:45
Speaker
Oh, excellent. Just what we needed. Just what we needed. We got new costumes, which are all medieval themed. You can also now select the shows that you want to do. So you can just play regular fall guy shows, which is just a bunch of everything. Or you can choose specific shows, which will have specific mini games that you want to play.
00:30:05
Speaker
And we also have while we have a big chungus or sorry big heatus my bad The giant hammer we now also have the spike roll hazard who has been dubbed thick bonkers
00:30:21
Speaker
beautiful is beautiful chef kiss I like I like the nickname but what is it it's a thick it's thick and it go bonk thick bonkers fair enough and Leslie yakuza 7 yakuza like a dragon got a new trailer showing off the mini games
00:30:42
Speaker
which I'm happy. And it also confirmed that there will be English karaoke if you play the game in English. So, which means I have finally made up my mind and I will be playing Yakuza like a dragon in Japanese. Well, that's the only way to play it. I mean, I played judgment in English and that wasn't bad. It was pretty good. That's the only way to play it. You're also a Yakuza fan, right, Zach?
00:31:12
Speaker
Yes, the best one is six. That's a joke. Okay. Like, if I were to actually pick a favorite one of the ones I've played, it would probably be Kiwami 2. Kiwami 2 is pretty... Have you played all of them, or have you just... Which ones have you played? I played the original. Played both the Kiwamis. Played a little bit of five, a little bit... Well, I beat six, but...
00:31:40
Speaker
Did you play zero? I do have zero. I've played a little bit of zero. Okay. I like the beaming of zero, but... Oh yeah, zero is really good. Again, as I've said multiple times on this podcast for how much I rant and rave about Yakuza, zero or Kiwami 1 is a great starting point, and then just play the other one next, and then go to Kiwami 2, and then get the HD remastered trilogy to play for 3, 4, and 5, and then
00:32:10
Speaker
get six and then judgment and then like a dragon and if hey if you happen to ex import things get uh the two yagas of samurai games and yagas of the dead and the two yagas of games for the psp but tony you're missing one which one am i missing like this for the north star last paradise you're right i had missing that i just started playing that actually
00:32:48
Speaker
Yep, exactly. And that's the news. Now on to the drop of the deck in Pokémon World.
Card Game Announcements: Pokémon and Yu-Gi-Oh

00:36:02
Speaker
Go take a flight. And those games coming out this week. And now this week in the lounge, let's start with Zach. What are we talking about?
00:36:17
Speaker
oh boy oh boy let me tell you we're talking about a fantasy that should have ended a long time ago yes after all it was the final one i don't know why there's so many at this point uh for those who i don't know who wouldn't know but for those who don't know why it's called final fantasy it was because that was the last game that's because that was back when it was square soft
00:36:42
Speaker
Yeah, so what happened was the guy who created the franchise, he said to the company, this would be the last game he ever makes for the company because every game that they had made for the last little while had been tanking. Yeah. And he wanted to go work elsewhere.
00:37:00
Speaker
So he said, I want to make a fantasy game. A final fantasy. Because it was going to be his last game. They called it Final Fantasy. Now, whether or not that story is true, probably not. But man, does it make for good lore. It does. It really does. And from that spawned 15 soon to be 16 main series titles.
00:37:26
Speaker
And a plethora of spinoffs. Including a Pokemon ripoff. A couple of rhythm games. A couple of fighting games. Some tactics games.
00:37:39
Speaker
Yeah, but tactics is cool. We like tactics. Okay, we like tactics. Cool. Good to know. The Chocobo ones. Chocobo! Oh yeah. There's a board game based off a 14 minigame that's essentially just a scratch card. Oh. Also, I just realized that Chocobo was in Smash, in a sense.
00:38:02
Speaker
What? Yeah. Chocobo hat in Smash 4. Oh, yeah. Chocobo for Smash 5. Give it to me, Sakura. Yeah. Next character pass. Give me Chocobo. You know what?
00:38:17
Speaker
Give me Choco Maga as a character. It could happen. It could happen. Choco Maga as a character. Just gonna go off topic real quick and then we'll get back on topic. You know why Choco Maga isn't in Smash Ultimate yet? Because Square's gonna drop another character. And it's gonna be Geno. It'll either be Geno or it'll be Sora. It's gonna be Squall.
00:38:42
Speaker
Oh, god. If it's Squall, I'll be a sapphire. His entire win quote will just be him saying whatever. Yeah. Is that the guy that has that really awkward laugh? No, that's Titus. That's Ted. That's Ted. Okay. Checked for Smash. Titus is dad for Smash. His final Smash can be him talking about how he has a shitty son.
00:39:06
Speaker
Oh, that's the entirety of 10's plot. You're welcome. Yeah. Spoilers. Spoilers. Pretty much. And then 10-2 is just idle life. That's a lesbian road trip. Oh, so it's, oh, so it's 15, but the other gender. Yeah. 10-2 has been a road trip because, you know, 15's gay road trip. Yeah. So how many boyfriends?
00:39:33
Speaker
How many Final Fantasies are there? I'm actually going to Google this. How many of them I can remember off the top of my head. What was the last one that came out? The last one that came out is technically Crystal Chronicles Remastered.
00:39:53
Speaker
if we're talking for like a fucking like main series like is it 15 16 17 well 15 16 just got announced oh yeah for that because the guy who wrote well the guy who rebirthed 14 from its really bad state to the second most popular subscribed MMO is the one working on 16 okay now Kiyoshida he's the producer and that got me real hype
00:40:23
Speaker
I see.
00:40:25
Speaker
Oh, God, there's so many. Oh, God. You know what? I think there's enough. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15. Mystic Quest. Crystal Chronicles. Sequel. The remaster. 8 has a remaster. Advent Children is a movie, but nobody cares. Crisis Core. Crisis Core. Durgis Cerberus. Oh, yeah. I forgot about Durgis Cerberus. Chocobo Mystery Dungeon. Chocobo Mystery Dungeon 2. Fabled.
00:40:55
Speaker
Or is it Fables? It might be Fables. Fables, that sounds right. I think that's the one on the Wii, Fables. Okay. Yeah, Theater Rhythm, Final Fantasy. Dissidia, Dissidia Diodessum, Dissidia NT. Oh yeah, Dissidia, Final Fantasy, oh yeah. Brave XPS. Yeah, Brave XPS. The other mobile one, the other other mobile one.
00:41:23
Speaker
So I've net, like, this is gonna be terrible, but I've never played a Final Fantasy game. You see, I was with you for the longest time and I never played a Final Fantasy game until 7 Remake. I'll play 7. If I play any of them, I'll play 7. 7 looks cool. You guys heard? I hear very good things.
00:41:42
Speaker
No, this is her exact so much because Zach is Zach does not like seven. I should probably clarify what Zach does Oh my god for a lot of reasons
00:41:54
Speaker
I think it's the most overrated game. Fair enough. But that's not the thing here. The fact that you guys haven't played at least one Final Fantasy. Well, there's so many. Do I need to read up on the lore? There's so many. Yeah, they only get connected if you play one of the Dissidia games. The spin-offs are connected.
00:42:19
Speaker
play any of them that have a different number and you'll be fine. In order to play Burge of Cerberus, yes, you need to have played seven and have watched Advent Children. If you want to play 10, you don't have to play seven. There's Easter eggs in it that kind of, they're like, hey, I know that. But to enjoy the actual game. Yeah, you don't need to play any of this. You don't need any of it.
00:42:43
Speaker
Okay. Yeah. I'm going to say one just because it's a really short RPG. It's really short. Yeah. Pretty. I like that. It's pretty, that one's still turn. When did they switch from like, or are they all like, did they all have the timer? Am I all turn based like that? Yeah. That, that was the one thing that like kind of just turned me away from them essentially was the timer used to be playing 12.
00:43:12
Speaker
Oh, who was- Oh, there's an awkward one. Oh, wait, wait, which one's 12? Nobody talks about 12. Well, there's the one with Blond Aladdin. Who? Von. Von. I gotta look this up. I call him Blond Aladdin because he straight up looks like Blond Aladdin. F, F, 12, Von. Von with two A's. He straight up Blond Aladdin. Okay.
00:43:40
Speaker
I've never seen this game. I feel like it is probably underrated cause like I can name like, I can name like, I can name at least a character from like four, five, oh five. Can I name one for five?
00:43:54
Speaker
No, I hope because five has one of the best mistranslated names in the series. God, I can't five. I don't remember. Butts, I don't remember. It was actually Bart's, but the translation was butts. Butts. Who was five? Who was per tag for five? I was butts. It was butts. OK. I know that six. I can name someone from six because you got Tara. Seven, obviously cloud.
00:44:21
Speaker
What's cloud? What's a cloud? I don't need to bear it. Bear it's good. Red 13. Not a guy. Kate sis. My favorite character is my favorite limit break. Not a joke. You got eight, which has squally on heart. Yep. Nine.
00:44:47
Speaker
Oh fuck, do I not know nines? By the top of my head? Fuck, I don't know no- It starts with a ZED!
00:44:57
Speaker
Nope, that doesn't help. Zidane. Yeah, no, I would not have gotten that. Uh, 10 is Tidus, 10-2 is Yuna. Yep. Uh, 11 was the first online one, wasn't it? Yes, it is. And it's still running. Really?
Final Fantasy XIV Gameplay Experiences
00:45:14
Speaker
Like, people still play 11. They actually very recently announced that they're adding more story content to it. Holy shit. That was like, wow, it's late? This long into the game lifespan. Good on 11.
00:45:27
Speaker
Yeah. 12, we just went over. 13 is... There's 13, 13, 2, and then like... Are there 3, 13 games?
00:45:37
Speaker
Yeah, so it goes 13 13 2 and then lightning returns. Yeah, which because of lightning returns, I know that lightning is a character in the 13 things. Well, you don't know snow. I've heard the I've heard the names, the name when you bring it up. Everyone loves hope. Yeah, that doesn't do it for me. Hope is the kid who just wants to kill snow because his hand slipped when his mom was falling. Oh.
00:46:04
Speaker
uh 14 is online and i kind of i played it i played it a little bit i did play i got the best and then uh 15 you got noctis and his his bros and then 16 is coming out soon well it's gone now so we don't know why it's gonna come out this is so new to me this is like i'm looking through google images this is all crazy oh yeah
00:46:32
Speaker
Honestly, I hear you guys have this say.
00:46:36
Speaker
Seven is probably like, if you want something that's like familiar in a sense, just because of how popular it got, seven is a place to start. The best places to start for Final Fantasy. Like, no meme. Because if I'm memeing people, I'll say it's Final Fantasy II, which is arguably the worst one. Okay. The best places to start are Final Fantasy VI. Yeah, oh yeah, yeah, yeah. Seven or ten.
00:47:04
Speaker
Yeah, I would agree with that. Those are the three universal ones that people will say start with this one. Yeah. Or, you know, if you've never played a Final Fantasy game, but you know of seven a lot, go with the remake, even though it's nothing like the other ones. It's kind of 15ish. I guess so. I want to play the original, like just play the original seven.
00:47:31
Speaker
Yeah, it's a good RPG. If FF1 is short, like you say. Oh, it's real short honestly. You can beat the game in like 10, maybe 15 hours if you try hard enough. Well, I think we're going to say minutes. I mean, speed runners. No, it's not Chrono Trigger. Come on. Yeah. But yeah. It's an extremely short art, P.T. OK. I do want to ask you this, Zach. Sorry, you can't say that you can't say the shaded.
00:48:00
Speaker
uh i was just gonna say that that's what that black mage is from that oh yeah yeah yeah yeah i know that boy with the sick cat yeah oh my god what was oh oh oh v v is it v v v v yeah it's vv vv is vv that's is that nine
00:48:20
Speaker
Yeah, he's also nine. Okay, I did know someone from nine. Thank you, Kingdom Hearts. So nine is one of those things where it's like a love letter to the original because what they wanted to do with time was set it back to the medieval setting because both seven and eight were set in a far more futuristic setting. Yeah, like six was like the start of it with like the Mexican ship, but then seven and eight really fucking sent it.
00:48:43
Speaker
So if you want to explain them really bad to friends, be like, hey, so have you ever played that game about the ecoterrorists who go to fight a guy with an Oedipus complex? That's seven? Yeah, that's seven. Yeah, okay. What did you think of the remake, Zach? I liked it more than the original. I did sit down and beat it. The characters are still really bland to me.
00:49:09
Speaker
You think? I feel like they did a better job kind of humanizing them than what they had in Seven. The problem is, is in the original Seven, Cloud was a bit of like an ass, but he had that like, you know, I'm confident in who I am. I'm strong. I'm a warrior. Ever since Advent Children, he's been a whiny emo bitch.
00:49:32
Speaker
Even in Remake, they try to give him back that kind of original 7, but he still sounds like a whiny emo bitch. What did you think of that ending? I like Barrett. Yeah, Barrett's good. What did you think of the ending for 7 Remake? With Black Hair and Cloud showing up after all that, and people who know the series knowing that are like, what the fuck is going on?
00:50:01
Speaker
Well, see, I'm someone who believes that Zack Fair should have been the main character of Seven. Absolutely. Absolutely. So when I see that scene every time, I'm like, man, I wish Cloud was the one who took all the bullets. Yep. I mean, I wish for the entirety of Crisis Core, by the way. And how was that experience? What, Crisis Core? Yeah.
00:50:30
Speaker
The game itself is fine. It's the leveling system that I have issue with in that because what it is, it's it's roulette. Oh yeah, yeah, it is. Theoretically, you can get a game where you never level up. Oof. That's detrimental. That's big sad. If it was Final Fantasy 8, that'd be the perfect thing because 8 has a weird system where the enemies level up with you. Oh.
00:51:00
Speaker
So ideally you'll be the game at like level 30. You have to grind up enough XP to get your card ability. Okay then. It's a weird one. I really like it. A lot of people hate it. It's weird. I just know it's, I just know it's weird. And then of course, yeah.
00:51:26
Speaker
And then 14 is one that you've been playing a lot. And you even told me to give it a try. Give it a try. And so I did. I got the free demo on the PS4. Yes. And you know what? It's enjoyable. All right. I'm gonna ask you some rapid fire questions. Okay. What data center are you in?
00:51:51
Speaker
Uh, that's, is that the, the, the starting city or. No data center would be like, there's only three you can pick from one's North America and one's European one's Japanese. Okay. So you'd be in crystal. What world did you pick? The desert one. No, like not city, but what server are you in? Cause there's like Diablo ball. I don't even remember.
00:52:18
Speaker
Well, that's problematic. Yeah, I don't know which one. Do you need to know what world you're in? I don't know. All right, well, we'll ask more in-game focus things. What city state did you start in? That would be like the place you had to start. Yeah, that's whatever one the desert one is. Okay, so you're in Uldah. Yes, Uldah, yeah. Class you picked.
00:52:40
Speaker
Uh, oh, what was it called? Um, it's fuck. What's it? What color is the symbol? Is it a punt? Is it like, is it a blue symbol or is it a red symbol? It's a sword. It's a sword. It's probably gladiator. Yeah, that's the word gladiator. Excellent. I know another tank. Oh boy. Why does everyone I know play tank?
00:53:07
Speaker
Well, look, you told me to try this game. I'm like, okay, I'm gonna go with like, base simple shit because I don't want to get too complex. I don't want, I don't know what this, it's an MMO and like, I've, the only other MMO I've technically played is Destiny and Destiny's like a hybrid MMO. Yeah, one's more of an MMO shooter thing. Yeah. So.
00:53:28
Speaker
If you ever find out what data center you're in, or what world you're in, I want you to delete it if it's not Diablo, so I'll try and help you figure out the game.
00:53:40
Speaker
I mean, I don't know how much longer, here's the other thing, I don't know how much longer I'm gonna play it. Like, met MMOs really aren't my style of game. Like, giving this a try was like a nice look into the world of MMOs for me. And you know what? Like, there were parts where I'm like, you know what, if I was like, into just mindless auto attacking, hold down my right trigger to do my two fucking commands over and over again while I fucking fight, then sure, I'd be down for this, it's pretty good.
00:54:08
Speaker
Trust me, you haven't gotten anywhere near where the good stuff is. I mean, I can imagine that, but still, it's... It's a very long grind, I will say that. Yeah. Yeah. But once you get it... So I don't know if I'll continue it. If I do, maybe I'll get into that Diablo server and check it out.
00:54:36
Speaker
I'm playing through Fist of the North Star right now so I probably won't touch the game for a while if I do touch it again. If you do ever pick it up again tell me because I can teach you how to play that class no problem. Perfect, excellent. How much content is in that free demo?
00:54:57
Speaker
Well, in the free demo, you get the entirety of the base game, and I think you get the first patches worth of all of the first expansion. And how long is base game, roughly? Well, base game story-wise got cut down a little bit, but I've barely unlocked most of the game, and I have like 500-something days in. Okay, that's a lot of content. So...
00:55:23
Speaker
That's a lot of content. Okay. It's also because I spent a lot of time trying to level up other classes. Right now I have five classes at max level working on the sixth one. Jesus. Dang. I've put time in, boy. That's a lot of time.
00:55:40
Speaker
I've put a lot of time into this. I mean, yeah, like, yeah, on top of like Fist of the North Star right now, uh, and Tony Hawk, cause I've been playing through that, uh, cause I'm enjoying that. I've also, I just finished like all the main stages and all the challenges and all that shit. Um, got the two secret stages and, uh, I can now work towards unlocking the alien and officer Dick, which is just Jack Black.
00:56:12
Speaker
Is the remake of Tony Hawk good? Yes, for a guy who never played the original Tony Hawk, it's fun. I like it. Because I used to love Pro Skater too. It basically plays the same, I think. Awesome. Yeah, it's just updated graphics, new tricks and shit, and challenges galore. Excellent.
00:56:36
Speaker
Yeah. Cool. It's fun. It's really fun. And, uh, so I'm playing those two games and I'm also playing, um, I got back into Project D.Va. Speaking of rhythm games, I found one on Steam not that long ago called Muse Dash. Muse Dash. Never heard of it. I'm kind of digging it. How, what's the, what's the style of the rhythm? Like what you gotta do? What's, how do you, how do you hit the beat?
00:57:03
Speaker
There's only two different style of notes. There's high notes and low notes that you have to hit. Okay. Do you kind of like a weird auto scrolling beat them up? Wait a minute. I do know which one you're talking about. I have seen gameplay for this game. I know which one this is now. It only has like three characters, but there's a bunch of skins for them. Yeah. The reason I picked it up is I found out it has the song brain power. Who's that by? Or, you know, the, the Twitch meme song.
00:57:39
Speaker
I'm guessing you don't know it. I guess I don't and I'm a twitch streamer now. What the fuck? I'm too new for this shit. Come on, man I'll send you I'll send you it over the okay. Yeah, cool One of the biggest meme songs on Twitch is what you used to raid people with oh cool Anything else you want to add about Final Fantasy boys
00:58:08
Speaker
before you jump to the next topic? I've been just looking through Google images trying to keep up. Like as someone who knows nothing about this series, there's a lot going on here. There is, there is. And if I can confirm anything, it's that Chocobos are pretty cool. They are.
00:58:27
Speaker
So, I'll add three things. One, if you haven't played Final Fantasy XIV, get that free trial by Golly G. It's cross-compatible on all consoles it's on and on PC. You have no excuse. You just need to make a Square Enix account. I do have to bring, I should mention that. You do need a Square Enix account. You have to make a Square Enix account over my dead body. But, you know, I'll use your fake email.
00:58:54
Speaker
That's all you really need to do, that's what I did. Two. Get hyped for 16 because it has the guy who made 14 goods and it also has the music composer from 14 apparently. That's a rumor going on, but the guy who made the twinning could be making that game soundtrack too. Cool baby. And the final piece.
00:59:21
Speaker
for anyone who has played it. Make sure your DRGs are still floor tanking. I have no clue what that means. Me neither. You play the game and you'll understand. Cool. FFXIV, get on it. FFXIV. You can't see me, but I'm winking.
00:59:40
Speaker
And I thought one thing I allowed Find a good starting game six seven ten are great or you know just jump in blind to the remake it plays it has a lot of like Kingdom Hearts reminiscence like where like it's like open combat, but like the command system is really good and like it's really good to optimize because Optimizing that shit is what you gotta do to get the platinum trophy, which I did I
01:00:07
Speaker
You're mad, man. I was mad, dude. Having to fight Bahamut on hard in a gauntlet where you fight all the other summons just to fight the Pride and Joy prototype? Fuck that trophy, man. Fuck that trophy. Bahamut was the worst part about that. Bahamut's my favorite summon, though. He's a great summon.
01:00:27
Speaker
Fuck that boss though. I hate fighting him. You wouldn't hate fighting him in like any game. Trust me, he's the worst one to fight in 10-2. Oh god. Okay. The boy hits you with Mega Flare and you die. Now on to our next topic. Aiden. Yes. Take us away. Um, there was some Minecraft news.
Minecraft Updates and Mario Mashup
01:00:47
Speaker
Yes, there either was. Minecraft Live.
01:00:51
Speaker
Indeed. So now there's going to be a cave update. So all of the best part of Minecraft exploring the little caves, they're not going to be big caves. You're going to find axolotls inside some of the caves. They're adding stuff like moss, which maybe doesn't sound too exciting to a small person. I think that's actually really hype.
01:01:17
Speaker
It is. It is. Just throw that shit on everything. Yep. Finally, no longer need vines to make mossy cobblestone. We got moss itself. Yeah, exactly. Now I can go for a seafaring aesthetic. Yeah, totally. There's going to be so many cool new pieces. Yeah, we got another new hostile mob, the Warden. Yeah, I don't know how I feel about that thing.
01:01:45
Speaker
It's probably going to scare me. Probably. Yeah. It's going to jump scare you. We also got the glow squid coming. Yeah. Um, I thought that the selection, you know how like they do a vote. Yeah. It was a vote between, uh, the glow, the glow squid, the isoliger, which I think was like someone who could live in the igloos and, uh, the, uh, the blue flowers. Yeah.
01:02:13
Speaker
I thought they all sucked. I'll be honest. It wasn't a great selection this time around. That one I don't mind. Like I wouldn't care, like if they added to the game, any of them to the game, fine. Like I, whatever. Like you shouldn't mind.
01:02:33
Speaker
In previous years, it was like choose between a fox, an ostrich, or a vulture, or like stuff like that. Yeah, I thought that was cool. That kind of stuff. Oh, we're getting goats on mountains? Yeah, goats. That's cool. And they'll ram you out. They're all violent. Excellent. They are. Yeah, they punch you off the cliff. Yeah.
01:02:54
Speaker
Yeah, like just a bunch of cool new items and stuff and I think it'll be a lot of fun. Yeah, I'm excited about copper Holy shit, we no longer need mods for copper
01:03:08
Speaker
What is the copper going to do? It's strictly decorative. It's kind of like the well, it might have use maybe a new redstone contraptions. Maybe. Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. But like for currently what we know is building blocks as it has the whole copper copper block slabs there and it turns from its bronze color to green over time. Yeah, that's an adox. It oxidizes.
01:03:34
Speaker
that's cool yeah that's really cool it shows how long you've been playing in a certain world when it starts to oxidize which is really cool i like that a lot the attention to detail they've been adding um and we're also getting a new crystal amethyst crystals yeah they'll be like like little amethyst crystal cave yeah pockets that you can walk into yeah this is like
01:03:59
Speaker
They've they've done so much like the overworld they've done under the sea they did another and now like finally getting something that like that has been the number one reason why more like One of the top reasons that people like Minecraft the caves and all that and now it's finally Getting the money the mining. Yeah, exactly
01:04:20
Speaker
Yeah, totally. It looks really cool. I'm excited. It's too bad that I'm going to have to wait long. Yeah, that is the downside is that we are going to have to be weak. Now that we know what's coming, it just makes the wait that much longer. Right? Yeah. I'm not going to lie.
01:04:38
Speaker
I know a lot of people are excited about the copper the most, but I'm honestly the most excited about the moss. Yeah, moss is like, just throw that wherever and it's going to look so cozy. I just want the moss aesthetic on everything. Yeah. Mossy wood, mossy stone. Yo, this is my mossy nether portal. Yo, man, you see that creeper? I'm going to throw some moss on him. Oh, man.
01:05:13
Speaker
You know what I wish they added it was one of the things you could vote on a few years ago it was For a new biome. It was I believe it was between Tyga and
01:05:30
Speaker
uh, grasslands or no, not grasslands, Savannah and badlands. And I really wanted them to add badlands because that's the biome that I live in. So like it would have added vultures and stuff. And dude, I could live in the Lion King. Yeah.
01:05:56
Speaker
Don't do that. We'll get copyrighted. Oh, he's got a point. He's a cow. He did at the potter. The day we arrived on the Sky Factory. Bob Iger was listening to this podcast this whole time. And then as soon as you saying that, he's like, got your bastard. He's just sitting there like, I'm signing that cease and desist so hard right now. I mean, if Bob Iger's if Bob Iger's listening to this podcast, then
01:06:25
Speaker
I mean, I'd say you made it pretty big. Yeah, exactly. You know, until the season desist, but until that, until that, obviously. But you know, Bob Iger, if you're out there, hey, thanks for listening to this. Yeah, thanks for your out there. You know, give my boy Tony a sponsorship.
01:06:44
Speaker
Please show the next live-action Disney movie for you Here's what I'll do Bob here's what I'll do I'll go down to your basement talk some sense into that frozen Walt Disney had you have down there and We'll stop to get making those shitty remakes and we'll make some new good quality Disney content No, we need some sense into waltz. Oh
01:07:10
Speaker
We need hunchback and Notre Dame 2 remake. Why two though? Because that went really bad. Because everyone's seen hunchback with one hunchback, but as soon as you give them two, now there's a movie. Have you seen the sequel to hunchback? I actually have, yes. I refuse. It's a monstrosity. Flauzy Millino finds love.
01:07:39
Speaker
So they take out the only good parts from the original, which you have to because, you know, Frollo died. Oh, yeah. What? We don't even have an interesting villain song. I like how those people just go, oh, yeah, Frollo did die in that. You know, I don't think about Hunchback of Notre Dame that much, I'll be honest. Yeah, honestly, same.
01:08:06
Speaker
I will admit, it has my favorite villain song in any Disney movie. Hellfire? Hellfire is easily the best one. It is a pretty good one. I'm sorry, Be Prepared is really good too, but Hellfire is the league of its own. It stands out. There's Hellfire tier, S tier, A tier, B, C, D, and then there's like Little Mermaid 3 tier.
01:08:36
Speaker
Wait, Little Mermaid 3? I know Little Mermaid 2. Yeah, there's a third one. It's essentially a remake of Footloose, except, uh, no feet. Well, we got a cut loose. Fin loose. There you go. Well, what you kick off there, though? Kick off the... I mean, still you're kicking off the... Oh, yeah, you're not kicking, though. Kick off the Sunday scale?
01:09:05
Speaker
God anyways, I was saying I'm really excited for them to add the hunchback mob in the new update Minecraft do you think we'll ever get to a point?
01:09:25
Speaker
Like, you know how Bethesda games now have modding on the console? Do you think we'll actually get that point where we can add Minecraft mods to the console? Isn't that already a thing? It's kind of, sort of, but not entirely. Not the way that you're thinking. Not the way I'm thinking. It's controlled. Very controlled. Yeah. Uh, no. I don't think Microsoft will allow that.
01:09:55
Speaker
only on Nintendo Switch. Oh, speaking of Nintendo Switch and Minecraft, one of my favorite like mashup packs, I will say, was the Nintendo mashup, the Mario mashup pack that they did for the, I guess it was for the Wii U originally, but like, got moved to the Switch when it came there. Did you play on that at all, Aiden? Oh, I played the Wii U Minecraft the most. What did you think of that whole map?
01:10:23
Speaker
It's cool it like I explored it once or twice, but like It's like there's a lot there's a lot like They put in Delfino Plaza literally. Yeah It's it's impressive. It's a cool build so it means I can finally live my dream of dropping like 20 sticks of dynamite in the center of Delfino and
01:10:49
Speaker
Finally, yeah, you know, it's about loose. It's about Footloose Footloose 3 Delfino Plaza Sorry, Kevin Bacon is Mario I'd watch that movie. Honestly, give me the Empty warehouse scene, but it's Mario
01:11:12
Speaker
Wasn't there a Minecraft movie dancing on top of Goombas? Gobbles. Wasn't there a Minecraft movie in the works? There was. It was being written by one of the guys from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. Wow. Which would have been awesome, but I think he left the project. So yeah. I think it was supposed to be out by now.
01:11:39
Speaker
Yeah. When you hear video game related movies, it's one of those, uh, you sure about that one chief?
01:11:46
Speaker
Yeah, there's not many that I know of that are like still in love like the works Like we're like, we don't know where they are. It's like the Minecraft movie is one the Mario movie is one and The Mario movie that's so working on yeah, they're still working on yeah, and then the FNAF movie is the other one I do know another video game They switched directors a lot. It's been it's been confident One of those it's in production hell
01:12:15
Speaker
Basically, uh, I do know that sega sega seems up with a studio and they're making a new yakuza movie Right, right. The only way I will ever watch that Is if they get beat to keshi to direct Like real talk if you're going to make a yakuza movie you have to get they already did though They already did make one You essentially need
01:12:43
Speaker
The guy who created the Yakuza movie. I mean, yeah. Popularized. Popularized it. I can't talk today. Have you watched the 2007 Like a Dragon movie? I have. Is it good? Is it? It's not worth watching. Okay, cool. Cool. Very cool. Anything else we want to add on Minecraft boys? That's it for me. That's it for you, Zach?
01:13:12
Speaker
I'm not gonna lie, I have played Minecraft like maybe twice in my entire life. Now it's gonna be three. So boss is pretty cool. Boss is cool. I think I'll play it a third time.
01:13:26
Speaker
I might play it a third time. I don't know. I still have a few hundred hours of 14 content to do. And that's, see, and I feel the opposite way. I'm like, I, I, you know, I want to play Final Fantasy, but, but I got, yeah, there's Moss. There's Moss now. I have to spend like hundreds of hours in the lab to find out what I can do with Moss. Exactly.
01:13:53
Speaker
Exactly. With that, I think we're going to move on over to the bonus level now, where we got some smaller segments to end off this show, starting with this game, this day in gaming history.
EA's Acquisitions and Fighting Game Discussions
01:14:07
Speaker
Boys, do you know what happened on October 11th, 2007? No. Didn't the company get bought out?
01:14:20
Speaker
Game developer E-Electronic Arts announced plans to acquire VG Holding Corp., the parent company of BioWare and Pandemic Studios. The plan then finished in January 2008. Today, where the viewers are listening to this, was the day of reckoning for BioWare.
01:14:47
Speaker
where they got bought out by EA and became one of them. They still put out some good games, but like it became, yeah. If you know, you know. And then back in the year two,
01:15:07
Speaker
It could have been a lot worse. It could have been the rare soft, like the rare where Microsoft purchase. Yeah. Microsoft bought them because all they did was produce garbage trash. Like, yo, you like conquer? How about multiplayer conquer with guns and a sensor single player campaign? Yo, do you like anything good? Yeah. Well, we don't. Here's perfect art zero.
01:15:36
Speaker
Here's Banjo Kazooie nuts and bolts. Literally the only good thing that came out of it was KI3. Fair enough. And also on the state back in the year 2000 Spyro Year of the Dragon was released on the PlayStation 1. That one I actually knew. Hey. Is that the first one? Yes. No. Second. Third. I think it's the third. Oh cool. Spyro.
01:16:05
Speaker
Because this is the first one just called Spyro the Dragon. I'm pretty sure the second one's Ripto's Revenge. Oh, yeah, it is. Yeah. That sounds right. The dragon is the third one. Yeah. I think. Or you know, it's one of those spinoff ones. Anyway, on to the questions from the listeners. And our listener this week who asked us the question was sitting right in this room. Well, it's me. It's you. I'm in this. I know I look behind you, Anthony.
01:16:37
Speaker
always has been always has been uh the question what would be the worst character to add in smash for me the rabbits i just don't like them
01:16:52
Speaker
See, but like that I mean there I mean here's the thing though. There is like Fucking potential because of Ubisoft, but I just know exactly no no rabbits, please. Please no I thought of three characters that might might be terrible hit me with them and then okay, this is in like from like Lee like Descending order so number three reader rabbit from the reader rabbit series
01:17:22
Speaker
I don't know what you mean. That'd be like the best character, honestly, think of the moveset. See, that's why I put him as three, because he's still from his own game series. He could represent the PC games. He could represent the educational games. If I want someone to represent PC gaming, I'll just get Paperclip, buddy. Thank you very much. I'll get Bondly, buddy. You know the trilogy.
01:17:52
Speaker
That's the... Okay, number two. I have Cool Spot from Cool Spot. Again. Super Nintendo. Think of the moveset. He could flick dots at you. He could hit you with the final smash of a giant 7-up ad. If you pre-order, you get a... You get a K to 7-up. Yeah, it's a win-win. It's a win-win. I don't know. I don't know how I feel about 7-up, though. I'm more of a sprite guy myself. Okay, well, you're out.
01:18:21
Speaker
only just sleep with one eye open. The seven up reps who heard that. Okay. Okay. And then the first, the number one worst character to be added to Smash from the Garfield Kart racing series, John Arbuckle. I think John Arbuckle would not have a good move set. I think he's not worthy of being in Smash. I agree with this. I think there's a number of reasons why he should not be in. The only thing. And when he gets announced, I'll be mad.
01:18:49
Speaker
Only thing I could ever see John having is a good final smash where he just screams Garfield and like covers the entire screen. That would be it. But that could also be Garfield's final smash.
01:19:05
Speaker
No, no, no. Garfield would get like a giant piece of lasagna. Yeah. It would just drop lasagna on people until living lasagna. When living lasagna status, Garfield's attack damage gets tripled. Oh boy. All of them have increased knockback. Oh boy. Uh, okay then. Uh, Zach, do you have any bad characters? Uh,
01:19:33
Speaker
Anything from a movie would be pretty bad, but I'm gonna say any Mortal Kombat character. Really? What? Like, they have the move set and everything. Like, I just don't think the aesthetic of, say, let's throw Scorpion in for, you know, shits and giggles. He's gonna have the same issue Ryu and Ken, or well, Ryu had in Smash 4 where sometimes he doesn't swap back to the right side.
01:20:04
Speaker
And well, unlike Ryu, Ken or Terry, how their game's combo systems work, it kind of makes sense for Smash. Another realm has a really dumb combo system where it's all pre-made combos. So for example, Street Fighter, I can connect four light jabs into like a Hadouken. Another realm game, you have to, you know,
01:20:32
Speaker
light, light, medium for a launcher, then light, medium, heavy. It's a special move. And that's it. That's your only combo. That's all you get. Manufacture. Or Street Fighter, King of Fighters, Fatal Fury, all those actually good fighting games. You get to like mess around with them, which is why I love Guilty Gear so much. Complete tangent, by the way. I tend to do that.
01:21:01
Speaker
I mean, Hey, it has a very unique combo system. We're just go nuts and have fun. Okay. And then there's like the Jojo fighting games that we don't talk about the 2d one or the 3d one. Oh, yeah. Yeah. There's the Capcom one, the one that could have been good. If it didn't run at like 10 frames a second. Uh-huh.
01:21:31
Speaker
And then, you know, Eyes of Heaven, which shouldn't exist. I like Eyes of Heaven. I genuinely like Eyes of Heaven. I just don't like arena brawlers. That's my issue. I mean, fair. I mean, like, I dig arena brawlers. Like, that's why I like it a lot. I could deal with Dissidia because it felt different than most arena brawlers. If you like arena brawlers, play Dissidia. Okay. But I'm not a big fan of them.
01:22:00
Speaker
Fair enough. Which is why I like All Star Battle to some degree and the Capcom one from like the 90s. Yeah. Oh, right. That's what I was going to tell you, believe it or not. So, um, Sates, uh, where I graduated from from radio school, um, there, there, uh, the school bar, uh, they have like a small little, like kind of like an arcade cabinet, but it's got like hundreds and hundreds of games on it. Cool. The JoJo game is one of them.
01:22:30
Speaker
Nice I might have to just casually go to student power and you know
01:22:46
Speaker
Yeah, okay then, on to the achievement of the week.
FIFA 21 Achievements and Mario's Plumbing
01:22:51
Speaker
This week is in FIFA 21, one of us, one of us, which is to buy a player that has been loaned for the team in career mode. And the game to look out for it, I mean literally look out for it, like I don't know, is it North America or is it Japan? Mario Kart Home Circuit.
01:23:07
Speaker
Yeah, look out for it. Look out for it. If you see it, let us know. Yeah, please let us know. Like we have posters out in the streets right now. Have you seen this, Mario? Mario has seen this lost child. He's like four foot seven. He's pretty fat. He hit puberty early. So he has a nice mustache. Very small Italian accent. Mama Mia.
01:23:31
Speaker
He claims he's a plumber but, you know, we haven't seen him actually plumb anything. That's a good point. Good point. We're working for this lost child, please. Explain, how do you plumb something? With a plunger? Yes. Well, you never see him do anything in his trade. I don't see him sitting there, you know.
01:23:55
Speaker
He does work for pipes he goes in the pipes He fixes the pipe in Mario 3d all-stars. He also He and Mario party seven. Okay, Mario party seven. He also fixes a pipe. That's what I
01:24:12
Speaker
Cause like Mario Party is the only thing that's canon. It was really weird. Sakurai came out and he was like, yeah, man, this is like, this is the only lore that counts. Only the games from Hudson soft.
01:24:29
Speaker
So yeah, so that means the weird ass, you know one where you jerk the Wiimote to get the soda stream to pop out No, that's still Hudson. That's still Hudson. Especially that one. Yeah, so that one's Cannon. Yeah, especially. Especially Mario. Anyway. Mario's euphemism party.
