Devon Kopete
Cause you're afraid some goth baddie was going to grab you and change your life.
00:01:07
slimeballsteve
Devon was on the floor below and the hot topic just fell one floor below.

Nostalgia and Mall Culture
00:01:12
Devon Kopete

Devon Kopete
I think it fell right on me.
00:01:16
slimeballsteve
Oh boy, I can't wait for skip it.
00:01:18
Fartiosa
What an incredible ecosystem that could both, both, uh, it's so of both have and survive both a Spencer's gifts and a hot topic in the same area.
00:01:30
Fartiosa
Like that was a thing that was just normal. And sometimes they were next to each other and that was just normal. We normalize that. Is that okay?
00:01:41
slimeballsteve
I think that's when we were at our best.
00:01:42
Devon Kopete
Yeah, because hot topic got rid of like hot topic was never the place where you could just sit in the back and start at the posters. You know what I'm saying?
00:01:48
Fartiosa
Yeah, you couldn't. Yeah, it was a good boy.
00:01:49
Devon Kopete
Yeah, that's what I did as a.
00:01:52
slimeballsteve
Spencer's was like two stores in one.
00:01:55
Fartiosa
It really was. It was sex toys and posters and gels and various edible panties. And then fuck my dad because he's Santa Claus t-shirts.
00:02:09
Fartiosa
Because there was a few of those.
00:02:10
Devon Kopete
Yeah, a lot of like you're turning 40, you're old, but over the hill and fart jokes.
00:02:13
Fartiosa
Yeah, yeah, over the hill.
00:02:18
slimeballsteve
It was like.
00:02:18
Devon Kopete
But every once in a while, you saw two hot babes making out and you were like, this is my store.
00:02:24
slimeballsteve
if If you had an office party to go to, you'd go into Spencer's and the deeper you got in the store was like how wild and like close you were with your coworkers.
00:02:36
Fartiosa
Yeah, you knew the boundaries that each of them had well I don't go back and Oh memories
00:02:41
slimeballsteve
I don't know if I should buy Gary an accounting with his butt plug.
00:02:53
Devon Kopete
What do we what have we even get oh, okay, I remembered now I Said your name funny.
00:02:55
Fartiosa
I, a tangent of conversation that started because you, you, you, you, you kind of robot it out.
00:03:01
slimeballsteve
You passed.
00:03:02
Devon Kopete
Yeah, I said your name funny.
00:03:03
Fartiosa
You robot it out a bit and it made me upset and I'm still upset.
00:03:04
Devon Kopete

So I'm still angry.
00:03:12
eldong ring
Chris, did you beat? Did you beat Final Fantasy Seven yet?
00:03:15
Fartiosa
Fuck no man. I got so much shit left to do.
00:03:20
eldong ring
I think i'm i'm almost at the point where I might have to just go to your house and delete it for you so To free to free you from it From the shackle of final fantasy seven
00:03:24
Fartiosa
You gotta come over. yeah
00:03:30
Fartiosa
I'm stuck, baby.
00:03:30
Devon Kopete

00:03:31
Fartiosa
I'm in Jumanji. um I'm gonna drop into your house as soon as I'm finished and I'm gonna say, what year is it?
00:03:36
Devon Kopete
He's like, oh!
00:03:41
Fartiosa
I'm gonna have a big beard and covered in leaves and shit. And I guess I haven't showered since we started
00:03:46
slimeballsteve

Gaming Backlogs and Elden Ring Speculation
00:03:47
slimeballsteve
got 11 days to beat that game.
00:03:49
Fartiosa
I know. Shut up, Steve.
00:03:50
Devon Kopete
yeah You know what's funny? It's like, that doesn't seem too bad, but that's really, that's a lie when you think about it.
00:03:52
eldong ring
Not only that, but you got you still. No, but you still you not even that you need you need less than that, because you need a couple of days at least to get to get yourself situated in Elden Ring, you know.
00:03:56
Fartiosa
hub Steve I know I know John I know trust me I know hmm I
00:04:06
eldong ring
Just table it, I say just table it for now. Go back to it in the dead of summer when there's nothing to play.
00:04:13
Fartiosa
got to a story beat and it made me go huh that's the noise I made so there was enough
00:04:17
Devon Kopete
Yeah, look good old bit.
00:04:17
eldong ring
Yeah, because dude.
00:04:20
eldong ring
Well, the one thing I saw about the DLC is there's no achievements. So there're I think that's a good thing.
00:04:24
Fartiosa
Yeah, that's probably a good thing.
00:04:25
eldong ring
That way, people aren't hunting for those things. they're just They just want people to play and have fun.
00:04:29
Fartiosa
Cool, go have fun. this is a you This is gonna be my playground after being and in school.
00:04:32
eldong ring
there's like Man, there's a couple things that i I don't think these are spoilers either. But there's like um a new like leveling mechanic in it that's supposed to help um like soft people like me.
00:04:49
Fartiosa
Oh yeah, like a difficulty scaling thing, right?
00:04:49
eldong ring
And then like not even a difficulty scale, but it's like these these um things that you can like consumables that you can use or something that will make, I think there's like an ah like a set number of them. They're kind of like great the golden seeds, but like you like use it and then it will increase your output output damage and decrease your incoming damage or something.
00:05:15
Fartiosa
It's probably like the life of a thousand brave soldiers or something that you got to eat.
00:05:19
eldong ring
Yeah, there's some there probably would be some crazy Lord explanation for it, but like it's supposed to make the game easier. Like and that kind of scares me that they're adding that in there because that means that it's probably incredibly hard.
00:05:32
Fartiosa
And it could just be, or it could be like, he wants you to roll through this, like kind of like have your good time, take a look around.
00:05:37
eldong ring
Yeah, they don't want. Yeah, they don't want it there to be like a fucking. Yeah, they don't want it to be like you can't you can't beat it, but they also want it to be punishing for the sickos out there that want it to be hard.
00:05:46
Devon Kopete
What was in that? That's kind of par for the course, right? It's like those games are just the DLCs are pretty rough, right? Like hard difficulty wise.
00:05:52
Fartiosa
Oh yeah. Oh yeah baby.
00:05:55
eldong ring
Yeah, a lot. of Yeah, a lot of people are saying that that these bosses are are going to be harder than than millennia, even kind of crazy.
00:06:01
Devon Kopete
Let's just say, Paul, you need to delete your game now, buddy.
00:06:05
Fartiosa
There's a little fella.
00:06:06
eldong ring
Paul has dumped a lot of time into these games like he's got like he's got like 400 hours on PS5, and then I saw that he is like 250 hours on PC already, too.
00:06:16
Devon Kopete
jeez relax dude
00:06:19
eldong ring
And he still refused to use transient moonlight, even though he was using a moon veil. Against Elden beast and it couldn't beat the boss until he started using it Yeah, a lot yeah a lot of people talk about that guy that was the that's the blood-borne DLC boss So how how does the DLC work in that like we're in blood-borne or at least blood-borne or um
00:06:27
Fartiosa
tell you who's a real son son bitch in the from soft ah pantheon of awful bosses and he was in a DLC that was orphan of cause and that guy fucking snorch whoa yeah dude at the end of the fishing Hamlet he's like the last boss
00:06:53
eldong ring
Dark Souls 3, I think, are the last most previous ones. like but could you oh So those were those were at a different time.
00:06:56
Fartiosa
Well, I'll tell you this, as far as lore is concerned, what I remember the most is it's in the past.
00:07:04
Fartiosa
Yeah, like it's most, most ah but from my experience, most FromSoft DLC is always about the past.
00:07:05
eldong ring
But you could still use the your same character?
00:07:12
Fartiosa
It's always about going back in time.
00:07:14
eldong ring
I think this one isn't, though, Chris.
00:07:16
Fartiosa
Maybe, I don't know. Maybe we're going to a place that's like, you will be moving back and forth.
00:07:20
eldong ring
No. Oh, yeah, I don't know if it's in time, but like apparently this is the other side of the herb tree that America went into by herself or something.
00:07:31
Fartiosa
That she got her godhood from stole it away ran.
00:07:34
eldong ring
Yeah, but like some people are saying that like it looks like the herb trees already burned in in the world.
00:07:41
eldong ring
I don't know that I didn't I didn't spoil anything for myself, you know, even though it doesn't matter because I don't understand most of the lore anyway, so it doesn't matter.
00:07:41
Fartiosa
Because. From what I've gathered from the trailer.
00:07:48
Fartiosa
The big guy, the main villain, basically, after she leaves the shadow and takes the godhood away because she was like going to marry him. They were going to rule together there. She leaves and he's so upset that he murders everything that has to do with golden order, including the tree. And he burns the tree down because he's like a spurned lover. That's what I got from it.
00:08:15
Fartiosa
And that's what like, I think, yeah, that's Messmer.
00:08:16
eldong ring
That's Mesmer.
00:08:19
eldong ring
So Mesmer was supposed to marry America.
00:08:21
Fartiosa
That's what I think. And he was supposed to be like the Elden Lord, but she just stole the power, was using him the whole time to get her godhood, maybe meet the Elden Beasts or whatever.
00:08:31
eldong ring
I mean, typical, typical Game of Thrones types, politics and games like the fantasy, fantasy games.
00:08:36
Fartiosa
Typical America too.
00:08:37
Fartiosa
Kind of a bitch. So yeah, there's that there's that whole element. So we're going to be going to a place where the Golden Order is like shunned and we're following mekola because he thinks there's something there of value maybe or he can he can get the godhood that america had like try to do the same thing maybe he'll marry mezamir yeah there's some there's some wild shit i
00:08:49
eldong ring
Man, that's fun. There's some cool stuff that I saw.
00:08:59
eldong ring
There's stances, it looks like, now, too. There was somebody walking around like with their sword like off to the side, like parallel to the ground. And then there was a talisman I saw that increases stance damage. So it looks like they're like there's a lot of stuff.
00:09:16
eldong ring
There's a lot of shit that they're adding in the game, which is kind of crazy.
00:09:17
Fartiosa
There's like karate kicks in it and stuff, right?
00:09:20
eldong ring
Yeah, there's a fucking Tatsu Maki Senpu Kyaku. There's a hurricane kick.
00:09:25
Fartiosa
This is gonna be so much fun, man.
00:09:27
eldong ring
I'm so excited for this, man.
00:09:28
Fartiosa
I can't wait. I am so excited.
00:09:30
eldong ring
And ah allegedly, they throw that fucking lion thing with human teeth at you and human feet like right away, and it fucking destroys you.
00:09:40
eldong ring
That's what somebody said, like they just throw a boss at you right away.
00:09:41
Fartiosa
That thing looks like it moves fast. That thing looks like it's fast.
00:09:46
eldong ring
Oh, man, this is going to be fun.
00:09:46
Fartiosa
You can already tell. Yeah. Whoo.
00:09:50
eldong ring
This is going to be fun.
00:09:51
Fartiosa
You can feel it in my nards, man.
00:09:51
eldong ring
Man, that's going to put me in like.
00:09:53
Fartiosa
I can feel it in my nards.
00:09:54
slimeballsteve
eleven days eleven days
00:09:55
eldong ring
No, how does this? Yeah, how do you not?
00:09:57
eldong ring
You got 11 days, Chris.
00:09:58
Fartiosa
I can feel it in my nards.
00:10:01
eldong ring
ah do i have Do you have an idea of what kind of build you want to bring into the DLC yet?
00:10:05
Fartiosa
Intelligence decks. I'm going to try to do what you guys are doing.
00:10:08
Fartiosa
I never did that. I never really did that before.
00:10:12
Fartiosa
So I'm going to give that a shot.
00:10:13
eldong ring
It's fun, man.
00:10:14
Fartiosa
Yeah. Did you use Moonvale? I think you. There's like Uchi, there's the Uchi.
00:10:17
eldong ring
ah Yeah, I I'm using moon veil plus a magic no plus a cold uchi old fuse uchi I Got that I haven't used it though.
00:10:20
slimeballsteve
11 days, 11 days.
00:10:23
Fartiosa
Cold Uchi, I've used that before. Also the Dragonbane Katana, right? The Dragonbone Katana. That's ah Frost and Lightning damage.
00:10:34
eldong ring
Oh Yeah, that's the one that I got that fucking oh man
00:10:37
Devon Kopete
So I have this very baseline souls question because I've never quite understood this.
00:10:44
Devon Kopete
um How? Like you get your weapon, right? And a lot of it's just you can level up your actual weapon.
00:10:53
Devon Kopete
So how are you incentivized to use different weapons if you're also like, why would I use this new weapon if I've put so much time and effort into like my starting acts or whatever?
00:10:58
Fartiosa
Well, I think status effects different for different bosses.
00:11:01
eldong ring
Because yeah.
00:11:07
Fartiosa
That would be a huge thing.
00:11:07
eldong ring
Plus, also, they they let you. I mean, I don't know how it is in the other games. But in this game, they let you they let you reset all of your stats. And when when you get a new weapon, like you could like get a really cool weapon to drop.
00:11:19
eldong ring
Or it might have like like a restriction. like You need this much strength and this much arcane.
00:11:24
Devon Kopete
yeah Yeah, this one sticks or whatever, yeah.
00:11:26
eldong ring
Yeah. And then like that like kind of incentivizes you, oh, I want to try this out. so i make um I make my stats built around this and then...
00:11:35
Fartiosa
Oh, my first couple of run-throughs, I always had a weapon that I could use that had a different status effect. Like the sort of Trina, sleep, and dragon bone.
00:11:45
eldong ring
I never fucked with sleep, man.
00:11:47
Fartiosa
Yeah, sleep is great because it's good for, you know, quick bosses.
00:11:47
eldong ring
Should I fuck with that?
00:11:52
Fartiosa
It's also good for when you're getting teamed up ah by a bunch of shit.
00:11:56
eldong ring
Oh, like Commander Nile.
00:11:56
Fartiosa
Like sleep pots are good. Yes, sleep pots are great for big, big moms.
00:11:58
eldong ring
That bitch. That fucking bitch ass. Yeah, he's a bitch ass that has two fucking super nights next time.
00:12:07
Fartiosa
um And like frost is great in a lot of different applications Fire is really good. Like they all have all these status effects have strategy to them and you know, they're really good ones obviously like blood and ah Well blood's like the best I think it's probably the best Yeah, black flame holy is pretty bad.
00:12:26
eldong ring
Holy or black flame or whatever that is.
00:12:30
Fartiosa
At least when I was playing it was always like it was under underserved as far as the status effect is concerned.
00:12:38
Fartiosa
And it's also like um certain environmental effects affect certain statuses. So like if it's raining, lightning damage does more damage to things. like So you know there's like it's a great game because there's all these different levels and statuses that affect.
00:12:57
eldong ring
There's a lot of variables and it like and it gives you a lot of freedom to like kind of kind of express yourself in whatever way you want.
00:13:04
Fartiosa
and use a bunch of different weapons.
00:13:05
eldong ring
Like the cool thing.
00:13:06
Fartiosa
Use like try a bunch of different shit out and it'll have more effect or less.
00:13:11
Fartiosa
And it's, it's experiment. It's experimental in that regard to, I mean, you're not using every weapon you pick up, you know,
00:13:19
Devon Kopete
Yeah, I guess I don't know. It's just like I was always excited to use weapons, but then I was like, well, this thing I got. Now I have to. Basically grind to even one, use the thing and then two.
00:13:33
eldong ring
Yeah, but it's it's kind of like a it's kind of like ah it's kind of like a secondary thing.
00:13:33
Devon Kopete
Then I got a buffet.
00:13:37
eldong ring
like You have to grind anyway, right?
00:13:40
eldong ring
So like doing that?
00:13:41
Devon Kopete
Do maybe I just hate grinding, maybe it's just all.
00:13:43
eldong ring
No, but it's not even like it's not even like you're you're like kind of like not, you don't know that you're grinding is what I'm saying. So like you want to let you want to be like, oh, I want to level up so I can add some points to this stat so I can use this weapon more effectively.
00:13:58
eldong ring
so but But essentially, what you're doing, like IRL, is like you're getting better at the game, too. You're getting better at playing the game in general.
00:14:05
Fartiosa
Yeah, yeah, exactly. You're learning strategy.
00:14:07
eldong ring
So like it's not like that's like the kind of the beauty of the design of of this game, is the incentivization for you to make bills that you want is already like is already like backed up by like you having to play the game.
00:14:23
eldong ring
And the more you play the game, like then the more used to it you're getting. because like I go back because I did a fresh run this time, Chris. And um and like the first time, I was like like fucking crouch i literally crouch walked everywhere because I was too scared of like yeah something even looking at me. And it's like it's kind of weird because I didn't know how to play the game.
00:14:44
Fartiosa
Yeah, well, that's my first, that's my first playthrough.
00:14:44
eldong ring
And then like towards the end, no, no, like just the very first time I played the game.
00:14:44
Devon Kopete
You like forgot.
00:14:49
Fartiosa
Yeah. I'm like, who are all these people out here?
00:14:53
Fartiosa
Who's that guy by the fire? I'm going to sneak up to him. I never could sneak up to things. That's kind of new. Like I was doing that.
00:15:00
eldong ring
Oh, yeah, the the the back, the back shots.
00:15:02
Fartiosa
Yeah. I was like, yeah.
00:15:05
Fartiosa
Sneaking up in in the grass and hiding.
00:15:07
Fartiosa
Like I was like, oh shit, they added that to this. And then.
00:15:11
eldong ring
There's like a whole yeah, I was looking up some crazy bills people were building. There's a whole build dedicated to making yourself completely silent and semi invisible and just walking up behind the enemies and and killing them that way. And I'm like, that sounds fun.
00:15:24
eldong ring
I might want to try that, too.
00:15:24
Fartiosa
Yeah, that does sound cool. That's like how I used to play Skyrim, basically, you know?
00:15:31
Fartiosa
Yeah, it was always... I was always a sneak.
00:15:32
eldong ring
But you would just see your sneak go up every five every five minutes because you're just sneaking constantly.
00:15:37
Fartiosa
Yeah, definitely don't miss that.
00:15:43
eldong ring
Yeah, man, this is DLC is going to be nuts.
00:15:43
Fartiosa
and Every fucking five minutes.
00:15:49
eldong ring
I mean, I might have to travel for work to around the time the DLC comes out.
00:15:55
Fartiosa
Did you tell your boss what's coming up?
00:15:57
Devon Kopete
Yeah, does he know oh My bad, Mike John stay home
00:16:03
eldong ring
oh bye but Yeah, sorry, yeah, that's okay you could stay home forever Yeah No, I'll make it easy for you.
00:16:05
Fartiosa
Holy shit, really? ah We're gonna close the building.
00:16:11
eldong ring
I'm gonna but we're gonna terminate your your your employment employment here, and then you get to play it why played as much as much you want now You're welcome.
00:16:15
Devon Kopete
Yeah, you'll have all the time in the world.
00:16:20
Devon Kopete
Thanks, man.
00:16:21
Fartiosa
Where do you gotta go? Where do you gotta go? to go
00:16:23
eldong ring
um I Might have to go to Chicago
00:16:26
slimeballsteve
oh you get to see the bean
00:16:28
Devon Kopete
You're going to hang out with everything's forced to go to the bean.
00:16:32
eldong ring
Well, I'm hoping that the game is like stable, like the DLC is stable. I'm i'm sure it's fine because it's just a DLC, right? um It's not like a brand new game.

Fartiosa
I imagine, John, you go see that bean again.

eldong ring
It's a lot, it's a larval tier, it's a giant larval tier.

00:18:37
eldong ring
Oh no, oh yeah, that could be a mimic tier two.
00:18:39
Fartiosa
It could be you.
00:18:39
slimeballsteve
Oh, that's messed up that's messed up
00:18:40
Fartiosa

00:18:45
eldong ring
John comes out.
00:18:45
Fartiosa
a Make sure you take off all your weapons before you go to the Bean, John.
00:18:47
eldong ring
Just tankier me. Doesn't get affected by status effects at all.
00:18:55
eldong ring
yeah I'll give myself bad Talismith, debuff Talismith first and then I'll take them off when I see the bean.
00:18:56
Fartiosa
So he doesn't have any weapons.

Yeah, man. Oh, man.

00:19:09
eldong ring

00:19:15
Fartiosa
Mm-hmm Has to be right I died so I kind of agree Oh
00:19:15
eldong ring
I'm just going to say it.
00:19:16
Devon Kopete
yeah They're going to change the rules.
00:19:17
eldong ring
They're going to change the rules for this.
00:19:23
Devon Kopete
I don't see why not, yeah.
00:19:23
slimeballsteve
I mean, I can't think, I can't think of any games right now, right?
00:19:26
Devon Kopete
I can't think of a single reason why they wouldn't do that.
00:19:31
slimeballsteve
Did you see, did you see the little FART effort that Keely put out for the summer games awards?
00:19:36
slimeballsteve
And by awards, I mean summer game.
00:19:36
Devon Kopete
it's The Summer Games Awards, yeah.
00:19:40
slimeballsteve
I'm just, they're hosted on the game awards, like their blogs or whatever. I gotta say this week was supposed to be the big, oh, E3, we're going to announce a bunch of games.
00:19:51
Devon Kopete
Yeah, well e3 is gone.
00:19:52
slimeballsteve
Things are going to be good.
00:19:53
Devon Kopete
So we're supposed to get this now We
00:19:55
slimeballsteve
End of the year. I'm not going to lie to you based on what we got from summer games. Fest. I would not be surprised
00:20:00
Devon Kopete
got from a lot
Gaming Events and Industry Trends
00:20:01
Devon Kopete
a lot over the last two weeks The Elden Ring DLC is gonna be here Honestly, dude if it's long enough I could very much see them just be like yeah, let's just change the rules
00:20:01
slimeballsteve
if John's prediction that the golden ring DLC would win game of the year.
00:20:04
Fartiosa
but Wait, what was Sean's prediction?
00:20:08
Fartiosa
Oh, yeah, I agree. I think he's right.
00:20:10
slimeballsteve
We are, we are.
00:20:17
slimeballsteve
No change, it it's a good like.
00:20:19
eldong ring
They'll call it like game release of the year or something.
00:20:23
eldong ring
They'll they'll be like, 2024 release of the year.
00:20:26
eldong ring
And they're going to be like, oh, well, I guess shadower the Shadow of the Urtree qualifies now because it's a game release, right?
00:20:28
Fartiosa
ah ge So cheap. cheap.
00:20:32
eldong ring
So I mean, that would be punishing.
00:20:34
Devon Kopete
You know, it was, yeah, it was funny though. I was, uh, I was kind of attempting to explain like what Summer Game Fest was to Jenny and like giving her context. I was like, yeah, you know, there's this thing called E3 and then, then Nintendo changed the, she's the Terminator.
00:20:51
Devon Kopete
Why? you just come in okay You just can't force three big game companies to just stop everything they're doing and just make games hey And then as I'm like over explaining it She's lowers herself in the lava and I'm like, well, I don't understand.
00:21:00
Fartiosa
I don't know why you cry.
00:21:01
slimeballsteve
ah She gives this game one thumbs up.
00:21:10
Devon Kopete
I was just trying to explain to you Why I like it so much Yeah
00:21:18
Devon Kopete
a five out of 10. Um, no, but I was like, just Oh yeah. You know, it was this thing. I was like, and then Nintendo changed the game with Nintendo directs. And then Sony started doing this thing. And then it just kind of, you know, fiddled away. And then Keely was kind of the, the bright spot in all of it. He's like, Oh, you know, like the game awards was becoming a little bit more prominent. Then he came out with summer game fest, which was like cool. And then it also had, you know, it was tied around the Nintendo direct, the Sony showcase, uh, the Xbox thing.
00:21:54
Devon Kopete
And I guess that was like two or three years ago was when it like started, started maybe four. Geez, it's been a while. Um, but you know, this year, no, cause they were the not blaming Nintendo say, but Nintendo was the first ones that said, we're not going to eat three.
00:22:03
eldong ring
Why you blaming Nintendo?
00:22:09
Fartiosa
Those motherfuckers were the first fucking assholes to say, fuck this fun party.
00:22:15
slimeballsteve
They said we got we got a direct
00:22:17
Devon Kopete
yeah like You know how like we thought streaming was like super cool and now we're like, man, I kind of wish there was this like cable channel where I could just pay money and just get all the things I want instead of splitting everything up and splitting my time.
00:22:26
Fartiosa
Yeah. It's been perverted, sure.
00:22:30
Devon Kopete
Yeah. And then E3, if we look back on it romantically, it's like, oh, it's really convenient. Everything's here in one little nice spot and everybody's expected to bring their best, their A game or whatever it is they have.
00:22:45
Fartiosa
Somebody once said, and I don't, I might be misquoting this and I'm probably going to remember it poorly, but they said that you could have the best game trailer in the world, but if there's the true best one comes up, you're completely forgotten about.
00:22:59
Devon Kopete
Yeah, I mean, that is that and that was kind of like the the big negative of E3, right?
00:23:05
Devon Kopete
Is like, you have so little timeshare, like you could have the best thing ever. But in 20 minutes, the Xbox thing started.
00:23:14
Fartiosa
Oh, somebody doesn't like the Hunger Games.
00:23:15
Devon Kopete
So then like, yeah.
00:23:17
Fartiosa
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
00:23:20
Devon Kopete
So so I agree.
00:23:20
Fartiosa
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
00:23:24
Devon Kopete
I'm all about yeah capitalism, baby. Sorry. Sorry make the most impressive thing and then I'll pay attention to it Yeah, like well we all man. We all won't somebody think of the you know, the fucking multi-billion dollar industries. Yeah the companies and Because because
00:23:39
slimeballsteve
I'm confused because it's like they don't do that anymore. So aren't they saving all that money? Why are they still firing all these developers?
00:23:47
Fartiosa
Dude, what is that about? They're making money and they're still firing people.
00:23:51
slimeballsteve
They don't even have to do their little stage shows anymore. That costs like thousands of dollars.
00:23:55
Fartiosa
That map don't add up.
00:23:56
Devon Kopete
Yeah, you're right. You're right. ah So anyway, this year it was I guess it like kick started, I guess with the Sony thing, maybe probably even a little bit before that, but like the state of play was last week and that was, you know, pretty bad, like historically bad.
00:24:16
slimeballsteve
Their best game was Astro Bot and they announced this week it is a $60 game.
00:24:20
Fartiosa
More like Astro Butt.
00:24:21
eldong ring
That's crazy That's like That's like remember that remember that burger.
00:24:22
slimeballsteve
they They waited to give a price because they knew it was gonna sting.
00:24:22
Devon Kopete
Yeah. that there good ah There are other their other game Concord that we were all like well, this would be cool if it's like free-to-play. They're like that'll be 60 or $50, please 30 I think it's 40 $40 Yeah
00:24:34
slimeballsteve
That's a $50 game.
00:24:36
eldong ring
Yeah, remember that uh, remember that burger king xbox game sneak king It was like five dollars imagine if sneak king 2 came out like like a couple years after and they announced that it was $60
00:24:40
slimeballsteve
I do remember sneaking.
00:24:47
slimeballsteve
It was a full $60 game. Oh my goodness. You're right. You're right. Dude, Concord is a game that I would expect to be a free to play game.
00:24:55
Devon Kopete
Yeah. Yeah. Like how the, how are you going to contend in that space if it's 40 fucking, if it costs more than $10?
00:25:02
slimeballsteve
Sony has been going so hard for trying to get a live service game under their wing and they got, they kind of got it with hell divers too.
00:25:12
slimeballsteve
Um, but like there's, yeah, they made that the most like difficult, like success for them possible.
00:25:13
Fartiosa
They cooped all over it.
00:25:22
slimeballsteve
And now they want me to pay for Concord, but Concord is just looks like overwatch, but like ugly overwatch.
00:25:26
Devon Kopete
Yeah, it's like.
00:25:29
Devon Kopete
Yeah, Concord, I went, I went OK, like maybe I don't know and now it's 40. I was like. OK, yeah, no, it's just not going to happen when it's a free game path or game pass, whatever PlayStation Plus game. I might play two rounds.
00:25:45
slimeballsteve
I wouldn't be surprised if it was the PlayStation Plus game for that month.
00:25:49
Devon Kopete
Yeah, yeah, I mean, fucking better be, dude, right? But anyway, so like that we were all like, that's pretty rough. I guess we'll see what the summer game fest was and then like, yeah.
00:25:58
slimeballsteve
At least Keely won't do us wrong. It's Keely. We love that guy.
00:26:01
Devon Kopete
And then, and then Keely was like two days before he was like, don't get your hopes up, which I feel like he says every year, which is like kind of obnoxious.
00:26:09
Devon Kopete
Cause it's like, bro, this is your show. Like what do you mean? Don't get my hopes up.
00:26:12
Fartiosa
It's getting worse every year, guys.
00:26:15
slimeballsteve
Yeah, well, yeah, he's like, just like brutally honest.
00:26:17
slimeballsteve
He's like, dude, his dog shit this year.
00:26:19
slimeballsteve

Fighting Games and Character Diversity
00:26:41

00:28:27
slimeballsteve
They showed footage or a cutscene for Blacksmith Wukong, which is coming out later this month or a year.
00:28:38
slimeballsteve
It was just like, yeah, it's not even gameplay.
00:28:39
Devon Kopete
It's a full cg trailer. What the fuck?
00:28:41
Fartiosa
he's a monkey though he's a monkey
00:28:44
slimeballsteve
Yeah, but it's.
00:28:46
Devon Kopete
Is a point I was like like and again so like like briefly we'll just talk about this real quick ah Like I guess Kotaku got a hold of like the numbers historically for like what they pay to get these shows on here and it's like what it's like a hundred and ten thousand for like a minute trailer and then like for another 30 seconds, it's like another 75 K and stuff like that.
00:29:07
Devon Kopete
So it's like a
00:29:07
Fartiosa
My penis that is awful It's
00:29:09
Devon Kopete
You look at a trailer like Blacksmith Wukong, that's like what? A minute and a half almost? And I'm like, so that's like 200K that you just spent on a game.
00:29:16
slimeballsteve
Y'all wasted your money.
00:29:21
Devon Kopete
Everyone's like, yeah, I'm in, but like it's just for what? For what, dude?
00:29:25
slimeballsteve
I don't even remember. it I just remember seeing like the monkey man's face and being like.
00:29:31
Devon Kopete
No, he doesn't do anything cool. Like it's just.
00:29:33
Fartiosa
I know I know but
00:29:34
slimeballsteve
I was trying to figure out the nose because I was like, it's just a man, but it was like a weird nose.
00:29:40
Devon Kopete
Yeah Okay, yeah, sorry, sorry yes Well, whoa you skipped one Steve No, no There's also the war hammer space marine, too Well, that's a banger No, you know
00:29:41
Fartiosa
I'm going gut responses here, but we can move on, man.
00:29:45
slimeballsteve
All right. Well, once human, I don't even know what that is.
00:29:48
Fartiosa
Once human, twice a lady.
00:29:48
slimeballsteve
Uh, metaphor refantasia, which is by the, by the, and I said once human.
00:30:00
slimeballsteve
Oh, I'm not scrolling. I'm sorry. I'm not scrolling. I'm just going through the, um,
00:30:05
Fartiosa
Banger, yeah, it's banger.
00:30:05
slimeballsteve
All right, if you want me to scroll, I'll scroll, because then I have to go back and talk about Dragon Ball Sparking Zero release date for October.
00:30:12
slimeballsteve
Batman Arkham Shadow VR game.
00:30:15
slimeballsteve
ah Street Fighter 6 getting a Fatal Fury crossover season. What's the thoughts on this, gang?
00:30:21
Devon Kopete
I I say banger, dude.
00:30:22
eldong ring
I mean. No, it's cool, but we didn't need to. We didn't need to cross. I think they wasted a spot that should have gone.
00:30:29
slimeballsteve
all lot they should have They should have saved my for years three.
00:30:32
eldong ring
Something like that, I mean, like, yeah, because like imagine like imagine if like Tekken announces their season two, like just in put it in context, Tekken Tekken eight season two comes out and they have four characters that are supposed to be announced.
00:30:33
Devon Kopete
That's fair, yeah, we can have mine.
00:30:48
eldong ring
And two of them are Ryu and Chun-Li, like that's overkill, in my opinion.
00:30:50
slimeballsteve
bruh I gotta to say though like it's hard to get excited for these after like Smash Brothers nailed their Terry announcement. I don't think there will ever be a better like fighting game character like like surprise announcement than the Terry for Smash Brothers, where it was like going through all the SNK Neogeographics versions.
00:31:16
eldong ring
I mean, I don't I'm going to be honest with you, Steve, I don't even remember the Terry announcement.
00:31:20
slimeballsteve
Do you don't remember that?
00:31:21
slimeballsteve
Oh, man, dude.
00:31:21
eldong ring
I mean, I mean, I remember Terry being in Smash Brothers, but I don't remember it being like this crazy reveal.
00:31:26
slimeballsteve
It was, dude, that was a good one. Cause it was like, yeah it flew from all the characters.
00:31:30
eldong ring
Because what how many characters how many characters for Smash Brothers were announced before that?
00:31:33
Devon Kopete
You know again, William.
00:31:36
eldong ring
Because like that's that's another thing is like it's like kind of fatigue at that point, too, for Smash Bros.
00:31:43
eldong ring
To the point now that where Melee is now
00:31:45
slimeballsteve
Well, again, but also like that was like two, three years ago.
00:31:45
eldong ring
ah bigger event in fighting game tournaments again and then smash a little bit with
00:31:52
slimeballsteve
Like that was like back when that game was still very much like the thing, but like that Terry announcement was great. This was just like Terry kind of showed up in a warehouse with Luke. And I was like, Oh, they wouldn't play fatal fury.
00:32:05
eldong ring
Luke Luke and Jamie were playing uh playing I guess a fighting game prior playing Fatal Fury
00:32:08
Devon Kopete
Fatal Fury, yeah. Oh, why not?
00:32:11
slimeballsteve
They were using a, they were using a, what was it? A stick list. It had no stick. It was, it was a little buttons on their pad.
00:32:18
eldong ring
The um I mean, the cool thing that that comes from this is that we're probably getting a Capcom versus SNK three now because the Fatal Fury game is coming out and they announced to to Fatal Fury characters for Street Fighter six. So I think that I think this is like I mean, they're yeah, maybe they're ga they're going to gauge to see.
00:32:36
slimeballsteve
You think that's just their way of being like, since we're working on this, we can take care of two birds, one stone.
00:32:44
eldong ring
But like I think that like it's almost inevitable now, which is really cool.
00:32:48
slimeballsteve
I mean, Terry's the slam dunk.
00:32:48
eldong ring
But at my point is like Terry's costume too should be the jacket because they we already have an ah RE engine jacket in the system already.
00:32:58
slimeballsteve
it's It's already in there, yeah.
00:32:59
eldong ring
so But yeah, but it's like Devon was memeing and said that May it was for the Gooners. But like it's true. like That's probably why they put her in there.
00:33:09
eldong ring
So all the Coomers could jack off to the game.
00:33:12
Fartiosa
We need something guys.
00:33:12
eldong ring
They could jack off to May.
00:33:13
Devon Kopete
yeah Yeah, Chris and I need something dude.
00:33:16
Fartiosa
i got Yeah, I need something to get me going.
00:33:16
Devon Kopete
We're not big.
00:33:17
Devon Kopete
We're not fgsteve players. So we need something Yeah,
00:33:20
eldong ring
I mean, I'm more I'm more upset at the Street Fighter characters that were announced because like like, yeah, and Bison's cool and all, but it's like he fucking died in Street Fighter five. Like you're going to bring that character archetype back right out right away.
00:33:31
Fartiosa
Right back again.
00:33:34
eldong ring
Like there are so many other like.
00:33:37
eldong ring
Like at this point next year, we're going to have one Street Fighter for character to Street Fighter, three characters. Wait, right? Or was it one Street Fighter III character? No, one Street Fighter III character. And two fatal fear, and two SNK characters? Like, that's kind of crazy to me. Like, they still haven't brought back any Street Fighter IV characters except for Jury. And then, I guess, Elena. Elena is the only Third Strike character, right? There's nobody else that's from Street Fighter III.
00:34:06
Fartiosa
When they bring him back a con?
00:34:07
slimeballsteve
I think it's just Elena.
00:34:08
Fartiosa
When's a con coming?
00:34:09
Devon Kopete
You can stay gone, dude do John I'll pay right now for Khan was on this.
00:34:10
eldong ring
No, no. And that's the thing. People, like, why and like I know you're joking.
00:34:15
eldong ring
Yeah, I know you're joking Chris, but like that would have been cool He would be really cool in this game in my opinion like how calm would actually be really cool in this game So
00:34:25
Devon Kopete
I mean it's a fucking weak pole No fucking way would people be excited for a con.
00:34:32
eldong ring
that's the thing like a Lot of people like a lot of the content creators were speculating that Makoto was gonna be like a shoo-in Because it's her it's it's so it's about time for her to come back like her
00:34:32
Fartiosa
Everybody loves a con, dude.
00:34:43
slimeballsteve
Makoto is the third strike character.
00:34:45
eldong ring
Yeah, and her move her moveset in Street Fighter 4 and in third strike like would translate really well to this to like the drive gauge mechanics in this game.
00:34:54
eldong ring
So people were like, oh yeah, Makoto is definitely going to be in this game. Also, like everybody in the world was asking for C Viper to come back. Like all the pros were saying they wanted her to come back.
00:35:02
Devon Kopete
and know Everybody that that one is kind of a little like You what it feels like it definitely was yeah
00:35:05
eldong ring
And that kind of hurts because like.
00:35:06
slimeballsteve
C-Viper is like in my head the mascot of like the new characters from Street Fighter IV. It feels like Street Fighter IV was like the resurgence of fighting games again after like a long hiatus.
00:35:16
eldong ring
Yeah, and then I mean jury jury is cool and like is a cool character and she but she she was in Street Fighter 5 as well too.
00:35:25
eldong ring
Like you can't just like give us Street.
00:35:27
eldong ring
You can't just give us jury as the Street Fighter 4 character for six. Like give us an actual Street Fighter 4 character, even if it's Rufus to like give us a Rufus.
00:35:34
slimeballsteve
Also, that's that's another one for the Gooners, man. Rufus, that's for the Gooners.
00:35:39
eldong ring
Hell yeah, dude. Hell yeah.
00:35:41
Devon Kopete
Okay, okay, so real quick sidebar That all being said I thought the M bison trailer looked fucking sick Sounds like okay
00:35:50
eldong ring
I look yet sick dude he's cool he's cool he's cool he's like on but like yeah it's a bison like he's gonna come back anyway you know I mean where's the fuck is to got worse they long like why is Capcom hate a long so much I don't know but he has a he is on a horse which is like
00:36:02
Devon Kopete
But here it is.
00:36:04
slimeballsteve
He always comes back.
00:36:04
Devon Kopete
Won't do a sick shit.
00:36:09
Fartiosa
How'd he come back? How'd he come back?
00:36:14
slimeballsteve
his His chair has a floating hat on it.
00:36:18
Fartiosa
ah floating hats simple Oh, said, Shit, bison clone.
00:36:19
slimeballsteve
Yeah, his little bison hats like floating in the chair in like the little like after scene.
00:36:22
eldong ring
Maybe he breaks out of that lab where they have all there's like a lab with a bunch of clones in there. I don't know if that's like a Seth clone lab or whatever. But. I don't know, man, like. Like even like Vega would be cool, like so like even like ah another throwback, like Elena is a weird one because. She wasn't that popular in third strike, right? But when she came out in Street Fighter IV, that meta was completely toxic because all the top players were using her because you could heal like your entire health bar in the middle of a fight.
00:37:02
eldong ring
And yeah, and like that, like people that never liked using a character like that were just using her.
00:37:07
eldong ring
And yeah and that's a sign of like the meta toxic.
00:37:09
Fartiosa
John, Balrog's not in this room.
00:37:13
eldong ring
I mean, that's the thing. I'm not expecting like I'm not disappointed that Balrog didn't get announced because they're pushing Ed to be the boxer and he's kind of like Balrog's like adopted son or whatever so like um I've already accepted that he might if he's gonna be in this game like he's gonna be later down the line so I wasn't expecting him to be in it yeah yeah I like you know I'm not gonna yeah but like I
00:37:32
Fartiosa
You went outside and you touched some grass and you were like, Hey, what are we going to do?
00:37:38
eldong ring
Yeah, I want to see, but I want to see characters that ah that are fun to watch. I was excited for Akuma. I'm not going to use Akuma, but I'm excited that he's in the game because he looks really cool and he looks really fun to watch. Right. um I don't know. Like Terry might be cool. I don't really know much about May.
00:37:56
Fartiosa
What kind of mental deficiency use the Kuma?
00:37:59
eldong ring
what What do you mean?
00:38:00
Fartiosa
You like get the Pete, like what's their primary psychological trauma or it couldn't look like.
00:38:05
Devon Kopete
Oh, for people who use a coma.
00:38:07
Fartiosa
Yeah. Is it like anger issues?
00:38:09
Devon Kopete
I think it's directionally challenged people.
00:38:10
eldong ring
Oh, I don't know.
00:38:10
Fartiosa
Is bipolar directionally challenged?
00:38:16
Devon Kopete
They don't know how to throw Hadookens.
00:38:17
Devon Kopete
They always throw it in angles.
00:38:18
eldong ring
It's just like. Yeah, I'm like Elena, like her design is cool, but like like really like your season two reveal is going to have is going to be going to have her in it like that's crazy to me, you know, at least like if we're going to go. Kind of that route, like, I don't know, bring Lara back or something. Or at least Sean, since Lara was in five and she's Sean's older brother.
00:38:45
slimeballsteve
give Yeah, give Sean a little bit of a respect.
00:38:47
eldong ring
Even though, but but that's another, that's another shoto, like, so, like, do we really need another shoto too? Like, it's like Smash Bros, Steve, like, do we really need another fucking Fire Emblem character in the game?
00:38:57
slimeballsteve
Well, would would sean also be but Sean also be homeless like Ken and Bison and all these other classic characters?
00:38:58
Devon Kopete
Sword wielder.
00:38:58
eldong ring
Like, when they announced a 10th Fire Emblem character, like, it's like, really?
00:39:05
eldong ring
I don't know if he is. I mean, he is kind of homeless with his because his fireball doesn't go across the screen. That's another thing. Terry's Terry's projectile is a ground projectile like Jerry's, but his is going to go full screen. So that might be really annoying or really cool, like.
00:39:21
slimeballsteve
I mean, he's gonna be Duncan and bust a wolf in.
00:39:21
Fartiosa
I'd say bring bring Cody back, make him even more successful.
00:39:26
eldong ring
No, that's another thing, like where's Cody?
00:39:27
Fartiosa
Like he's super rich.
00:39:28
eldong ring
Like he's in he's in the world tour.
00:39:29
slimeballsteve
He's in, he's in jail again. Send him back to jail.

They got Vegas allowed to fight. Why not Wolverine?
00:46:33
Fartiosa

00:46:38
Devon Kopete
Well, what what if three of us fought each other and you had an ex yeah I Don't want to deal with this guy.
00:46:41
Fartiosa
Wolverine's like, that's, that's why I got away.
00:46:45
slimeballsteve

00:47:03
slimeballsteve
Senator Garcia.

I think, you know what, Senator Cody would be kind of fun.
00:47:10
Fartiosa
Yeah, see, that's what I'm saying. Make him more, make him more successful.
00:47:13
slimeballsteve
Oh, the American nightmare.
00:47:17
Fartiosa
Like I know he's already successful. Keep going. Because i read all the people that were successful before are in trash right now.
00:47:21
slimeballsteve
All right. Chris, here's the thing. He still needs to be in his little jail outfit.
00:47:23
Fartiosa
They live in garbage.
00:47:30
Fartiosa
That's like, that's what he ran on his campaign. Like, I'm like me, I was jail.
00:47:34
Devon Kopete
Oh Hey, hey Chris, that's a little too close to home at this point Yeah,
00:47:35
Fartiosa

00:47:39
slimeballsteve
like Oh my goodness.
00:47:44

00:47:45
Fartiosa
The felon the felon governor mayor whatever Hey everybody who's down everybody was up is down now
00:47:49
Devon Kopete
yeah the convicted felon Cody Do I'll be honest if like Donald Trump's new commercials that him just break it out of jail in the Cody outfit I'd be like well guys it was a fun run, but I'm voting for this guy now because he just punched a hurricane out of jail.
00:48:04
slimeballsteve
It's gotta be purple stripes.
00:48:14
Devon Kopete
So sorry I Get pick it up.
00:48:16

00:48:39
Devon Kopete
Oh, boy. All right.
00:48:40
slimeballsteve
Bravo ah but Let's just let's just say the best thing ah I'm not gonna list any of the the rest of the garbage for this because but I want to move on to Xbox I think the biggest thing here was the Alan wake to DLC announcement pretty much pretty much and that's not even like a thing that like I haven't even played that game yet, but I think that was pretty exciting And no, no, I'm still waiting I'm still
00:48:41
Devon Kopete
What else? Because that was a bright spot.
00:49:01
Devon Kopete
I was stoked. I haven't tried it out yet.
00:49:04
Fartiosa
Wait, see, you haven't played that really.
00:49:04
Devon Kopete
um that Steve hates video games. You don't.
00:49:08
Fartiosa
Yeah. He said. I'm never playing that f freaking out Albert Waite game ever. I forgot that you said that.
00:49:08
slimeballsteve
I never played one, I never played one.
00:49:16
slimeballsteve
Al, Alfred Wake.
00:49:16
Devon Kopete
well Yeah, well, i you know, ah there were some like I thought the.
00:49:23
Devon Kopete
the Blumhouse Games collection that they kind of showed looked interesting.
00:49:26
Fartiosa
Blum House? Oh yeah, have the Blum House.
00:49:28
Devon Kopete
Yeah, Blumhouse was like, oh, we're just making a bunch of horror games. And I was like, okay.
00:49:32
slimeballsteve
I thought it
00:49:32
Devon Kopete
The Power Rangers fighting games seem neat.
00:49:36
slimeballsteve
was a beat em up.
00:49:37
Devon Kopete
Slitterhead looks not good.
00:49:40
slimeballsteve
That's a game you've really turned on.
00:49:42
Devon Kopete
Well, it's like, oh, it's the Silent Hill guy. ah The trailer we saw like four years ago look cool, is a neat, seemingly weird and creepy concept. And then I saw it in gameplay and I get it, it's a trailer, it's not
Xbox Showcase and Game Announcements
00:49:56
Devon Kopete
done yet. But I was like, this went from like, I'm really interested to like the ceiling for this game is like a seven. And it's not even like it's bad, but I'm like, this game isn't, it just looked a lot more budget than I thought. Obviously Killer Bean game of the show. I weirdly got into the Karen game, the the mountain climbing game. I was like, I might like that for some reason. But. I think out of the other day, Steve, you are right. um Well, how do you guys feel about Monster Hunter Wilds?
00:50:34
eldong ring
I'm kind of like.
00:50:34
Devon Kopete
Banger or danger, dude?
00:50:38
eldong ring
I don't know, man I don't know if I'm ready for a game like that.
00:50:40
Fartiosa
dinggger dod dangger to dinggger dinggger du Danger. Danger.
00:50:42
slimeballsteve
I'm not a monster hunter person.
00:50:43
Fartiosa
Danger. Danger. Danger.
00:50:43
slimeballsteve
I like, I've played worlds.
00:50:45
eldong ring
I might be a monster hunter person, Steve, but I don't know. I don't know if I want to be, you know.
00:50:48
Fartiosa
Danger. Danger. john you'll never be that
00:50:51
Devon Kopete
You don't want to like learn that about yourself.
00:50:54
eldong ring
No, I mean, like I haven't even played the final shape, the Destiny 2 expansion yet.
00:50:57
Devon Kopete
Well, never mind, yeah.
00:50:58
slimeballsteve
All that, all that character stuff that you're excited about in Elden Ring John, remove that and just turn yourself into just somebody who just wants to kill for better armor every day.
00:51:09
Devon Kopete
Well, that's that's destiny. That's kind of.
00:51:16
slimeballsteve
Hmm, hmm, hmm.
00:51:16
Devon Kopete
With hit stop, which kind of looks dope.
00:51:18
slimeballsteve
We hit stop. We hit stop.
00:51:21
Devon Kopete
Yeah, Phantom Blade Zero looks cool, still looks cool, but.
00:51:25
Devon Kopete
Yeah, no, that was.
00:51:26
Devon Kopete
um That was the whole show, and I guess Jeff Keeley kind of made the right call by going, you shouldn't be too excited.
00:51:33
Fartiosa
Didn't you fall asleep during the show?
00:51:37
eldong ring
Jeff Keeling.
00:51:37
Devon Kopete
I mean, he did.
00:51:38
Fartiosa
Yeah, that's what I heard.
00:51:40
Fartiosa
I heard he took a nap.
00:51:40
Devon Kopete
Like Jeff, Jeff, this show stinks, bro.
00:51:41
Fartiosa
Like he, they somebody had to, somebody, oh boy.
00:51:44
slimeballsteve
Was Hideo Kojima there?
00:51:47
Devon Kopete
No, no, he's not.
00:51:47
Fartiosa
No, he's seen Furiosa again.
00:51:49
slimeballsteve
Yeah, I feel like Kojima, if Kojima's not there, he says it's a shit year.
00:51:54
slimeballsteve
He's like, that's my bestie.
00:51:54
Devon Kopete
Oh, none of my friends are here they this year stinks. But I don't know, man. Yeah, it's kind of like I made ah i made a funny little Reddit post or comment.
00:52:06
Devon Kopete
And I was like, this whole show felt like the part of like the EA conference that you just skip over.
00:52:14
slimeballsteve
the mobile games part.
00:52:15
Devon Kopete
Like when E3, yeah, where you're just like, yeah, okay, I'm just gonna like skip over. And um I've kind of moved past it a little bit, but like watching this like borderline depressed me because it very much seemed like one, none of the games looked super, super quality, like in terms of like looks.
00:52:37
Devon Kopete
And I understand that because these things are expensive and that's a real thing. That's a real factor, but it's like, okay, so if we're pairing down the budget, because, okay, not every game needs to look like an eight K gorgeous photo realistic thing, but then everything just kind of looks like whatever.
00:52:57
Devon Kopete
And then I don't know, that's not really even impressive looking. And then, The gameplay, I'm like, OK, cool. Like, I'm sure some of these games that we just kind of like either skipped over or just like clowned on will come out and actually be very, very good. But none of them got me excited.
00:53:11
slimeballsteve
They actually did announce a new final fight. Castle of the Garro, I think it is.
00:53:20
Devon Kopete
Oh, you mean Fatal Fury or Final Fight?
00:53:23
slimeballsteve
beel Final fight, final fight. Or Fatal Fury, Fatal Fury.
00:53:26
Devon Kopete
The fighting game, the fighting game or the beat them up game?
00:53:26
slimeballsteve
It had the word Garro in it.
00:53:29
slimeballsteve
The fighting game. The fighting game.
00:53:30
Devon Kopete
That's, that's fatal fury.
00:53:32
slimeballsteve
Yeah, yeah, I thought so. I thought so. Yeah, they announced that. They announced that.
00:53:36
slimeballsteve
That has Robert Garcia in it, I bet.
00:53:37
Fartiosa
Okay, enough. Please.
00:53:39
slimeballsteve
I've got to keep talking about him.
00:53:39
Devon Kopete
I like that Chris is like really like hates it.
00:53:43
Devon Kopete
Like no dude, it's not even remotely fun.
00:53:43
Fartiosa
I just can't hear this guy's name constantly. brought up You know, you know, this movie would have been a lot better if Robert Garcia was in it.
00:53:47
Devon Kopete
He's an elected official Chris.
00:53:52
slimeballsteve
You really think if they replace Furioso with Robert Garcia as Steve it would be better?
00:53:57
Fartiosa
it's ridiculous statement to make
00:53:58
Devon Kopete
I mean, I'm not saying it wouldn't. Uh, I'll be honest. I even watched it was Evolver digital and like there was nothing, not a single thing got me even remotely interested.
00:54:07
slimeballsteve
No. Did you at least get a laugh?
00:54:12
Devon Kopete
No, because I was honestly, I was more irritated because I was like, this is like not, this was the 90 10 focus on the, the whatever weird through line that was not nearly as and like as amusing as the other ones.
00:54:20
Fartiosa
That's a ridiculous statement to make.
00:54:28
Devon Kopete
And then just like, here's an anime trailer for a game and we're not going to show any footage. And I was like, okay, not for me.
00:54:35
slimeballsteve
Are you saying 2024 the year without games?
00:54:39
Fartiosa
You without games?
00:54:41
Devon Kopete
I mean, listen, they front loaded it.
00:54:41
slimeballsteve
We got them all last year.
00:54:43
Devon Kopete
They front loaded it. And we all knew they front lit this year too. Like they front loaded it and we were all happy. And now they're like, time to pay up with nothing, nothing that's going to shatter your, your planet, right?
00:54:55
slimeballsteve
We're in the drought.
00:54:57
Fartiosa
You guys wanna go to the beach?
00:54:59
Devon Kopete
and This is very this feels like like November in with movies where you're like um Actually, I'll just wait for you the internet to tell me which one's like crazy good and I'll check it out.
00:55:10
Devon Kopete
Maybe Yeah Yeah
00:55:10
Fartiosa
I think um every month is going to be November for movies soon.
00:55:16
Fartiosa
That's my theory.
00:55:19
Fartiosa
So that's what I got to look forward to as far as movies.
00:55:23
Devon Kopete
Yeah, but I mean like there was what there was a bunch of other things after the state of play, but like.
00:55:31
slimeballsteve
They announced some some random stuff.
00:55:31
Fartiosa
I got a Minions movie coming out.
00:55:33
slimeballsteve
They announced, a ah somebody I don't know where it came from, they just were like, they there's a thing, a remaster of like the old PlayStation 2 Xbox like game.
00:55:33
Fartiosa
Sorry, I'm sorry.
00:55:43
Devon Kopete
You like that game.
00:55:44
slimeballsteve
um I liked it, but I definitely saw through it's like, when when your teammates turn, like gimmick, because there's always a point right before a boss where all of your team would turn into monsters.
00:55:52
Fartiosa
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:55:57
Devon Kopete
Yeah, I remember that.
00:55:58
Fartiosa
And we constantly do a blood test on them. You're like, oh, they're fine. They're fine.
00:56:02
slimeballsteve
You would do a blood test right before you got to like the room that they turned into monsters.
00:56:07
Fartiosa
It's so gimmicky.
00:56:07
Devon Kopete
And and you're like, come on, dude.
00:56:10
Fartiosa
But I mean, it was fun because they did the Macready recordings. They added new ones.
00:56:17
Fartiosa
That was fun. And he survived for a lot longer than he should have.
00:56:22
Devon Kopete
Well, relax there, buddy.
00:56:26
Fartiosa
Oh, come on. He's out with the freezing freezing cold.
00:56:27
Devon Kopete
Fuck a piece of trash.
00:56:29
Fartiosa
I kind of forget the specifics of it all but It was cool within the yeah, but it got old fast Ship ggx bench
00:56:37
slimeballsteve
I'm, I hope it's like a budget title at least like 40 bucks.
00:56:40
Devon Kopete
Well, it's just like a um say ah normal upper edge, right?
00:56:41
slimeballsteve
$20, $20 less than Astro boy, Astro bot.
00:56:47
Devon Kopete
Yeah. All right. So you want to just skip to the Xbox one?
00:56:51
slimeballsteve
Let's talk about sexy Sunday with the Xbox and.
00:56:55
Devon Kopete
This was kind of sexy. Am I gonna lie? ah And and hey about time Dan wait, I've been well, yeah, yes and yes Yeah, they were kind of like we're we promise we're coming in with some stuff and this very much felt like cuz like
00:57:04
slimeballsteve
Somebody had to show up.
00:57:05
eldong ring
Yeah is it too late? Is it too late?
00:57:09
Fartiosa
They diarrhea it out all their games at once
00:57:19
Devon Kopete
You know, I think it's pretty clear. So and he's like, yo, guys, this stuff's expensive. we We like, you know, it's going to come in waves. This is how it is. And Microsoft was like, yeah, but if you have unlimited money, you can just show whatever because we bought everything.
00:57:36
slimeballsteve
We bought and fired every one of these studios.
00:57:38
Devon Kopete
and We bought and fired. And I mean, there's black ops. OK, cool. Like not not the audience. ah But I don't.
00:57:50
Devon Kopete
I know you guys for and and I truly still can't quite wrap my head around why you didn't really like Doom Eternal. I really liked it and this new Doom game. I was like, okay, I'm in. I see no bad things.
00:58:10
Fartiosa
I think the charm kind of wore off after the first one. I was like fine with it.
00:58:13
slimeballsteve
it It felt like they didn't know like what made that first game so entertaining.
00:58:18
Devon Kopete
I thought, but it's funny because like I legitimately think the second one's better. like yeah that's the you mean You mean just introduced in general?
00:58:23
slimeballsteve
it's the the One of the first things that happens in Doom Eternal is you bend yourself over like a fucking nitwit for these dumb ass king characters.
00:58:33
Fartiosa
Yeah, but the lore gets really stupid and bogged down.
00:58:39
slimeballsteve
It's you's just like, they're just like, they're just like, Oh, do you man?
00:58:40
Fartiosa
It's dumb. It's like good.
00:58:42
slimeballsteve
It's me, your former king and you love me and your mom. And like, it's just like all the things that made doom guy feel like such a, like a breath of fresh air character where like he wasn't listening to the bullshit nonsense plot that was thrown his way.
00:58:57
Devon Kopete
But I mean, that's kind of what happens, though. like I mean, you're right.
00:58:59
slimeballsteve
There's so many times in doom eternal where he like legit stops and like listens to like the demon Lord's talk.
00:58:59
Fartiosa
Yeah. It plays into it more.
00:59:04
Fartiosa
Yeah. It should be punching monitors scream and screaming at people.
00:59:09
slimeballsteve
And also so all all the all the levels felt like an hour too long.
00:59:09
Devon Kopete
But like, I've very much enjoyed my time.
00:59:12
Fartiosa
Yeah, everything was too big. It was too much.
00:59:16
slimeballsteve
I think the grappling hook was fun.
00:59:18
eldong ring
was the raid to to doom's raid
00:59:23
Fartiosa
You'd think more of the same would be better, but it it is not.
00:59:25
Devon Kopete
Yeah, I like the one thing I was legitimately like was irritated by were those. I don't know what the fuck were they called?
00:59:34
Devon Kopete
Like, yeah, like the.
00:59:37
Devon Kopete
The the other, yeah, the like the damage Doom guys that were like they had the big axes and it was just because primarily there was only one way to beat them.
00:59:42
eldong ring
It was the raid too,
00:59:47
Devon Kopete
So it was just like, okay, this is like the 12th time I've had to fight.
00:59:47
eldong ring
to Doom's raid.
00:59:50
Devon Kopete
Oh, now I have to fight two of them. Okay. Um, but anyway, doom, the dark ages. Uh, I if we're talking bang ah to me, bang the the banger.
Doom and Fallout Speculations
01:00:02
Devon Kopete
Uh, the thing has a gun that mulches up skulls and then turns them in the bullets.
01:00:07
Devon Kopete
He is a, he has a shield that has spikes that has a saw blade on it. I don't know, man. Like, I'm sure there are lessons to be taken, but um' I'm hard in.
01:00:18
Fartiosa
i got I got space marine coming out, I got that, I'm good.
01:00:21
slimeballsteve
Space Marines gotta be good.
01:00:21
Devon Kopete
Well, I mean, this is next year. Yeah, this is next year.
01:00:23
Fartiosa
Well, next year we're gonna be at the beach. I'm playing video games.
01:00:28
slimeballsteve
Dude, that's such a good move.
01:00:28
Devon Kopete
so So, Chris, you're telling... So, Chris, you're you're like hard out on Doom now?
01:00:34
Fartiosa
Hard out on doom, hard in on doom.
01:00:37
Fartiosa
As they say nowadays.
01:00:37
Devon Kopete
All right. All right.
01:00:39
slimeballsteve
i think I think the hype levels for Doom definitely dropped for a lot of people.
01:00:45
Devon Kopete
i yeah I mean, I'm not saying like I was blown away, but I was like, OK.
01:00:48
Fartiosa
I'm not really a first-person fast-paced shooter guy. Like, I like the RPG first-person shooters, but that's about it.
01:00:54
Devon Kopete
Sure, sure, yeah.
01:00:55
Fartiosa
That's about it. that That's really where I am in it.
01:00:58
eldong ring
How long guys how long? Do you think it'll take for them to announce a new fallout game with the success of the show?
01:01:05
Fartiosa
Ah, dude, so long.
01:01:06
eldong ring
I think You think you think they're gonna now I think they're gonna announce it soon.
01:01:08
Devon Kopete
I don't the rumor is the rumor is that.
01:01:10
eldong ring
I think they're gonna Fall out fives coming out next year probably Well, maybe they say maybe they're seeing how the starfield kind of kind of bombed
01:01:10
slimeballsteve
I wasn't shocked they didn't.
01:01:10
Fartiosa
I think they're...
01:01:14
Fartiosa
I'm shocked that they didn't and I think they were really working on more starfield stuff thinking that was going to be successful Now
01:01:20
Devon Kopete
and what yeah
01:01:25
Fartiosa
that's true I agree I think maybe They got to make another one Yes
01:01:26
eldong ring
But fault but the fallout tv show is like thriving. So maybe maybe they'll Fall
01:01:32
slimeballsteve
i Wouldn't be surprised if because like the starfield DLC comes that they announced it comes out like tomorrow, right or something They should have just fucking cut and run they should have just been like bye we're done We're moving on over to fallout 76 to Not so it's already sick.
01:01:39

01:02:27
slimeballsteve
but No, because like, does it just this microsoft doesn't Microsoft own the studio that did um ah New Vegas?
01:02:43
slimeballsteve
No, hold on.
01:02:43
Devon Kopete
or avowed or there's the about people now.
01:02:46
slimeballsteve
It might be the about people, but also it was the pea.
01:02:49
Devon Kopete
Who made who made.
01:02:50
slimeballsteve
Remember they made that like that zany like space game that we're like, we all liked the beginning of, but then the game got bad.
01:02:56
Devon Kopete
So obsidian did obsidian did New Vegas, so they did pillars outer worlds and they were they're making avowed, which.
01:02:57
Fartiosa
Obsidian, that's it.
01:02:59
slimeballsteve
Obsidian outer world. So that's the one. Okay.
01:03:05
Devon Kopete
By the way, just kind of was like, they just farted that out. Like, I don't think that game is, I think they've already lost confidence in that game.
01:03:17
Devon Kopete
Cause it was like in the flow of this show. It was just like, Oh, here's like a 30 second avowed thing.
01:03:23
Devon Kopete
And it was like, this was like one of your tent poles. And now they're just like, uh, here, uh, because nobody thought it looked that good. when They saw it, um, stated the K three.
01:03:36
Fartiosa
Stay in the case!
01:03:36
Devon Kopete
Weird one man, I don't know Dragon Age the vi veil guard which is I Don't know because to me There's no gameplay
01:03:37
Fartiosa
Stay in the case! Stay in the case! Stay in the case!
01:03:52
Devon Kopete
but it looked like at some point there's implied gameplay at like a minute 43 seconds of this. And it looks like, yes, but this kind of looks like it's gonna fucking play like Diablo.
01:04:00
slimeballsteve
The older name is cooler.
01:04:07
Devon Kopete
I'm like, is this like a weird Diablo type spinoff?
01:04:09
slimeballsteve
Wait, is it like a top-down, like, dice measure?
01:04:10
Devon Kopete
I don't know. Cause there's no footage, but like, like I said, if you look at the ah trailer at like a minute 40 or something like that, right? There's like a clip of like what I was like, is this gameplay? And ah it doesn't.
01:04:27
Devon Kopete
I don't know if this is like traditional Dragon Age, like.
01:04:30
slimeballsteve
This is like an EA game, right? This is not like, this is not first party.
01:04:32
Devon Kopete
Yeah, and this is yeah. No, no, there's a lot in here that wasn't like traditionally first party, but, you know.
01:04:39
slimeballsteve
Right. ah I mean, they announced this Diablo sequel.
01:04:44
Devon Kopete
Or yeah, Diablo four of that sort of hatred.
01:04:45
slimeballsteve
Not s sequel, I'm sorry, the Diablo like expansion.
01:04:48
Devon Kopete
Do that trailer was fucking sick, dude.
01:04:51
Fartiosa
ah You play the game ah I Don't fucking care about that anymore Okay
01:04:52
Devon Kopete
I don't know what happened. No, no like but listen, I don't I don't know what the context is. That's kind of why I wish you watched it, Chris. Because maybe you know what's happening here. I want to do this chicks arm gets ripped in half and it's super gross and scary.
01:05:03
slimeballsteve
Chris, Chris, you gotta pre-purchase. You instantly

01:05:45
eldong ring
Stink either Delta or whatever it's called.
01:05:47
Devon Kopete
I Think this game's gonna rule dude.
01:05:47
slimeballsteve
Snake eater.
01:05:49
Fartiosa
Brown Snake Eater is the title that they're using, which is weird.
01:05:52
eldong ring
Is it even coming out for PlayStation? Why are they showing it here?
01:05:56
Devon Kopete
Cuz it's they paid for it. I don't know. There's Yeah, it's coming out for everything um Yeah, I think I think everything but switch baby ah There's that south of midnight game which I Kind of get why the frame rate is what it is, but I also Don't like it.
01:06:02
Fartiosa
Oh, really? Oh, well. Let me take my tie off here. oh Wow. Now we were partying.
01:06:25
slimeballsteve
they're They're trying to do like the Spider-Verse, like animation, it looks like.
01:06:30
Devon Kopete
Yeah, it's just I don't know I'm not like Yeah, it's not my like Artistically yeah like artistically cool, I don't know if I want to play it like that but I
01:06:32
slimeballsteve
That's weird in-game though, like in motion.
01:06:39
Fartiosa
I don't use that in the Spider-Man games. It's too weird.
01:06:49
Devon Kopete
The mechanics themselves, like, yeah, I'm like, what's, what's the 60 FPS version of this? um But I don't know, man, it's a, it looks like a game I'd play for sure. But you know, though, here's the thing, right? It's like Xbox comes out and they announced like Call of Duty. Okay. The big one. Okay. Another big game that you probably thought heard about it anyway in Doom. State of Decay, Dragon Age, right?
01:07:19
Devon Kopete
These are at the very least like big hater names and you're like, oh, okay, I'm interested.
01:07:25
Devon Kopete
You get this weird expedition 33 game that looks like a weird RPG, but like whatever.
01:07:30
Fartiosa
What about Indiana Jones, man? You didn't even talk about that.
01:07:34
slimeballsteve
Indiana Jones Gears of War like that that is the thing like they did at least bring out the big names that people know um fit Like looking at this John is absolutely right this does look like a Taika Weddini movie like
01:07:40
Devon Kopete
Yeah, this is what the stuff you want to see.
01:07:40
eldong ring
Dude fable fable looks awesome fable looks awesome It
01:07:43
Devon Kopete
Yeah, Fable looks cool.
01:07:50
eldong ring
is even presented that way even presented that way with the trailer like the direction of the trailer I Might actually like that's out of the games they announced
01:07:50
Devon Kopete
Oh, at the Fable game? Yeah.
01:07:56
Devon Kopete
Yeah, like I'm. Is there a release date?
01:08:03
eldong ring
the fables probably the one i'm most inclined to play i think as as impressive as like um indiana jones looks like am i gonna play that game like i don't know am i gonna play first person uncharted i don't know but it looks cool like it looks like like i would want to watch that movie you know that looks it looks good enough that i i'd like to watch it
01:08:19
Devon Kopete
ah Yeah, I don't know.
01:08:31
Fartiosa
I can already tell you it's better than Dial of Destiny.
01:08:35
slimeballsteve
True He's a young indie
01:08:36
eldong ring
I think it takes place, what, after Raiders before Last Crusade or something. that's ah
01:08:41
Devon Kopete
Probably. You know what ah I guess I don't know if I respect this or if I'm irritated by it, but like perfect dark.
01:08:50
Devon Kopete
They were like, we're going to make a perfect art game. No one heard about it for years. Then everybody's like, I don't think things are going well.
01:08:55
eldong ring
It's the Tomb Raider team. Like, who is it?
01:08:57
Devon Kopete
Well, it was it was supposed to be the the quadruple a super studio that Microsoft put together and then everybody quit because like nothing was going well.
01:08:57
eldong ring
It's Crystal Dynamics.
01:09:08
Devon Kopete
And now it's just being made by Eidos. But like they show it, and it looks OK. It doesn't really look impressive in like any by any metric. ah But I'm like, well, at least they showed it. right
01:09:25
eldong ring
Looks like it looks more like like a like a Metroid Prime type like first person adventure type game than like shooting mechanics game.
01:09:35
eldong ring
You know, there's like a lot of scans, like a lot of arm and stuff.
01:09:35
Devon Kopete
which is and Honestly, that's not a bad thing, really. because like
01:09:40
eldong ring
It's not a bad thing. No, it's not.
01:09:41
Devon Kopete
yeah um But like yeah, I don't know just like as a trailer it's like this is the thing I Yeah No, I don't think Yeah, basically just like pre-order right is like just what's what is the definition of wish list really?
01:09:47
eldong ring
But it is rare even behind it, and that's a rare game like is I didn't i didn't see the rare logo at all in there.
01:09:54
slimeballsteve
This is wild, though, because you can just like you can just wishlist all of these on Steam right now, it looks like.
01:09:55
eldong ring
It's just kind of sad.
01:10:06
slimeballsteve
I mean, the creator, but like but the the the fact is like the fact that like it is going to be like for sale on PC, like.
01:10:06
eldong ring
No, but it's like just PC too. Yeah.
01:10:16
eldong ring
Like Steam, I feel like is a direct competitor with Microsoft right at this point, you know, especially since, you know,
01:10:21
Devon Kopete
Oh, didn't everybody think the handheld was going to get announced? There's a rumor.
01:10:25
eldong ring
Yeah, I mean, yeah, where's that thing?
01:10:26
slimeballsteve
I remember hearing something like that.
01:10:28
eldong ring
And now it's that.
01:10:29
eldong ring
Show me that. Show us the ex- the ex-boy.
01:10:31
Devon Kopete
Yeah, the exploit and call the export life is strange, double exposure.
01:10:34
eldong ring
Ex-boy advanced.
01:10:37
slimeballsteve
That stars the character of the original and I believe.
01:10:40
Devon Kopete
Yeah, people are horny about that.
01:10:41
Fartiosa
Um, maybe ex-bro.
01:10:45
Devon Kopete
Oh, nevermind. They call it the X bro.
01:10:47
slimeballsteve
The expert.
01:10:48
Devon Kopete
I'm in dude. Uh, I think the gears of war e-day, which is, uh, gears. I don't know, man. It's cool. Like I'm probably,
01:11:01
eldong ring
I'm glad as it exists, though. I'm glad it exists.
01:11:03
Devon Kopete
Yeah, like I'm always gonna look, I used to be happy there's a a Gears game, but it's also like, I don't know if I'm gonna be excited about a Gears game because like, you need to basically God of War Gears. Like you need to just do something completely different because it's... Pretty cut and dry, you know in terms of like what those games are and it's like I'm so sick of this planet I'm so sick of these enemies and they say there's a there's gonna be a focus on making the locust scarier But like is that lip service because this is still a game where you fucking chainsaw dudes in half like and
01:11:42
Devon Kopete
That's the whole point of the game, right? You're taking cover their meat shields And then you just mow them down in a pretty obscene manner so like if that just means canonically they just like give the locust like some crazy buff and it's like fucking silent hill now where you fight like one locust every hour and it's a big scary big deal or Like I don't know because it's still a prequel game. And that's just never really going to get me going too much. But again, though, at the end of the day, it's like they showed the new hits, the old hits, some surprises, the things they definitely know you want to see, whether even they look ready or not. Like, I don't think Perfect Dark was kind of like ready, but they said, fuck it here.
01:12:37
Devon Kopete
ah Like I don't know ma'am just some CG trailers which is kind of your mileage may vary but in terms of an actual show like this is all I wanted from anything else and there then Xbox was the only one who like Figured it out Or like they caught got the memo or or whatever right understood the assignment and
01:12:59
slimeballsteve
It's, we are all starving so bad right now that Xbox was like, well, here's stuff. And it was like the first time in like the week of E3 where like we're, we're, you know, usually given something.
01:13:12
Devon Kopete
even felt like an E3.
01:13:15
Devon Kopete
Yeah, and it made me, and it also, it legitimately made me miss E3.
01:13:15
slimeballsteve
Exactly. Yes.
01:13:20
Devon Kopete
I was like, man, I miss a game. I miss an event where everybody was kind of like, the pressure was on. And now that everybody can just do whatever they want and be like, sorry.
01:13:29
slimeballsteve
You got to.
01:13:35
Devon Kopete
And like, whatever, this stuff doesn't wipe away the fact that like, Microsoft just fired like 3,000 people, you know because they're just bad at handling their stuff but I don't know man and and honestly the the reality is is like I Kind of fully intend to sell my Xbox like probably by the end of the year um Because these games are probably gonna end up on PlayStation at some point You know, it just they will like I
01:14:01
eldong ring
It's the point.
01:14:07
Devon Kopete
So, oh, I got to wait six months for a console. I never turn on like, I'll be fine. I promise.
01:14:15
Devon Kopete
So I don't think that would do put a dent.
01:14:17
eldong ring
You trade and get a steam deck.
01:14:25
Devon Kopete
I'm just index like 800 bucks.
01:14:28
eldong ring
I think so, yeah. But they have them.
01:14:29
eldong ring
I think they have them used now at GameStop.
01:14:33
eldong ring
I don't know.
01:14:33
Devon Kopete
and i don't I don't know if I can be sold.
01:14:36
slimeballsteve
Well, that four or five maybe?
01:14:37
eldong ring
Yeah, how much is Xbox worth now? Like $400, still $300.
01:14:42
Devon Kopete
Oh, yeah, they also announced loan like Germany and shit.
01:14:42
slimeballsteve
Didn't they like raise the prices a hundred bucks for like stuff?
01:14:48
Devon Kopete
I don't think in America, but ah they they did announce a new a new digital Xbox Series X with more storage.
01:14:58
Devon Kopete
Just like cool.
01:15:01
Devon Kopete
All right, cool. Yeah, sick. So, John, if you want that, if if you want to upgrade to a big white box,
01:15:08
eldong ring
I don't need that. I i have a gaming computer now. I'm OK.
01:15:10
Devon Kopete
oh My goodness there you are yeah ah i have a gamy beast So the quiet part out loud my friend Yeah, I mean honestly, yeah like Microsoft or Xbox is fully integrated with with PC that it's all like day and date, right?
01:15:14
eldong ring
No, but like like all the all the xbox all the Xbox games coming out on PC2, it doesn't even matter now.
01:15:14
slimeballsteve
why did you the Yeah.
01:15:27
eldong ring
you're like You don't even need Xbox if have a computer.
01:15:37
Devon Kopete
It's almost like
01:15:40
eldong ring
Yeah, and like, man, I mean, I'm.
01:15:43
Devon Kopete
I mean, outside of some shitty ports. Yeah. Like what's the, what's the downside?
01:15:49
Devon Kopete
Like, do you even use your series us at this point? Like what's.
01:15:52
eldong ring
Oh, it's literally um I'm looking at it right now, it's unplugged.
01:15:57
eldong ring
So like it's it's actually unplugged and it's it's looking right at me.
01:16:02
slimeballsteve
It's like, please, please, John!
01:16:02
eldong ring
Yeah, I'll take a picture for you guys. Right now, it's right next to the box of of a water of a water floss or I just bought.
01:16:10
Devon Kopete
Can you like just give it through like a library or something?
01:16:11
eldong ring
And I'm using the water floss more.
01:16:13
Devon Kopete
Yeah. Next Christmas, toys for tots. You're like, who wants this?
01:16:19
eldong ring
Well, I mean, I'm going to keep it around because Sam has her Hogwarts stuff on there.
01:16:25
Devon Kopete
Okay. Okay. Okay.
01:16:26
eldong ring
And um you know I think she might actually want to might be in the fable. But again, that's not coming out for like for a while.
01:16:35
Devon Kopete
Yeah, and then I hate to say it, but like the further away we get, it's going to be like, is this thing even going to run on the series?
01:16:42
Devon Kopete
That's like.
01:16:45
eldong ring
Yeah, that's another thing. But again, like, you know, and you know, she's been she's been playing Fallout four on the steam deck.
01:16:53
Devon Kopete
OK, she has her yeah, she's got her head around it.
01:16:53
eldong ring
That is just like the.
01:16:57
eldong ring
Yeah, like ah I created an account for her. Just so that like any games that she wants, I just give them to her her account.
01:17:07
eldong ring
That way, like it doesn't sign me out of my account if if we share an account on Steam.
01:17:13
eldong ring
So she's got she's got a few games on Steam now. um But like it's just easier for us to use that.
01:17:22
eldong ring
you know like The baby's taking a bath.
01:17:22
Devon Kopete
Yeah. oh Yeah, it's.
01:17:24
eldong ring
like i could go I could go take out Commander Riker while the baby's taking a bath. It's like not a problem.
01:17:30
eldong ring
you know ah It it happened earlier happened earlier this week.
01:17:35
Devon Kopete
Jenny thought she could beat me in an AEW fight forever, and then.
01:17:36
eldong ring
Baby's going.
Competitive Gaming and Console Reflections
01:17:42
Devon Kopete
She couldn't, and then she got upset by it, and I was like, I don't know what to tell you, dude, this just going to be better video games than you. You have to accept this.
01:17:52
eldong ring
But yeah, look, that Xbox Series S is unplugged next to my water flosser box.
01:17:59
Devon Kopete

01:18:05
eldong ring
Yes, I do. That thing's unplugged, Chris. The Xbox Series S is unplugged right now.
01:18:12
Devon Kopete
Sorry, I just noticed Steve was trying to post all this Robert Garcia nonsense.
01:18:17
Fartiosa
Oh Fucking, you know what?
01:18:18
Devon Kopete
Come on, Steve, come on.
01:18:19
slimeballsteve
Come on guys, give in to the Garcia mania!
01:18:23
Fartiosa
Can we get him banned
01:18:25
Devon Kopete
RG3, right, everybody?
01:18:29
Devon Kopete
That's what we call them.
01:18:32
Devon Kopete
Yeah, I don't know. So overall, I missed E3.
01:18:33
slimeballsteve
Look. Games are dead.
01:18:38
Fartiosa
Games are dead. Games are dead.
01:18:40
Fartiosa
Movies are dead. Guy on TV. Knocking on your door.
01:18:44
Devon Kopete
you know This really didn't make me wonder though. I'm like were we just too soft on these fucking big companies?
01:18:51
Devon Kopete
Like oh poor Nintendo. They find dear upset cuz they had an embarrassing showcase. Oh, they better go away Cuz they were the first ones dude, they had that fucking Wii U concert remember and it was embarrassing and then they said never again and Then they had nothing but success since then right and
01:18:56
slimeballsteve
i who well Why are we bringing up Nintendo? Come on. Hey.
01:19:07
slimeballsteve
You know what?
01:19:10
slimeballsteve
They sacrificed Eowata to get the to show up to give them the the concept drawings for the Switch.
01:19:13
Devon Kopete
they They killed that man. yeah
01:19:19
Devon Kopete
Yeah Yeah But I'm just saying like honestly like they were like They had that thing everybody made fun of it and they were like never again and then Sony was like they did one and then they got slightly mocked and then they said never again and then It just it just died at that point
01:19:41
Fartiosa
um When you make fun of people
01:19:42
Devon Kopete
Like, like, yeah yeah.
01:19:43
slimeballsteve
You're not showing up.
01:19:44
Devon Kopete
But also, like, oh, no, oh, like, great. And like. Yes, it's more difficult for the actual people making the games, so. That does suck, but I don't know, man, you're still making something.
01:19:59
slimeballsteve
Well, the thing is it's, I think they just, they, they have just learned that like, yeah, like if you put all those announcements out all in the same time, then the best game wins.
01:20:05
Devon Kopete
Well, nobody just learned, right?
01:20:11
slimeballsteve
And if your game was like, whatever.
01:20:15
Devon Kopete
I wonder what is the...
01:20:16
Fartiosa
Even if it's just good and it would sell, it doesn't matter. And then the big trailer comes out and knocks it out of the park.
01:20:22
Devon Kopete
yeah like I wonder...
01:20:24
slimeballsteve
If Astro Bot was farted out as an announcement two months ago. I think it would have gone over better.
01:20:33
Devon Kopete
Oh, like not in as the June thing. And I mean, that's also the exhort expectation.
01:20:37
Devon Kopete
It's like, dude, sorry.
01:20:37
eldong ring
Not as the headliner.
01:20:39
Devon Kopete
It's like, sorry, it's June. This is the thing you guys do. Like, yeah, of course we're going to think it's super freaking important.
01:20:49
eldong ring
Is Wolverine coming out?
01:20:50
Devon Kopete
sure Not this year.
01:20:51
eldong ring
Like, do you think that hack really that hack really took took ah a lot of the of their sales, like Sony?
01:20:54
Devon Kopete
I, I think it did. Yeah, because like. Well, one, that hack literally, if you like, you wanted to dive that deep. it like It had character spoilers, it had plot line spoilers.
01:21:08
eldong ring
Dude, I had a lot. I had everything, dude.
01:21:10
eldong ring
It was, it was.
01:21:10
Devon Kopete
and then it's like And then it just had like unfinished gameplay, which is... like I remember when the GTA 6 one came out, and people were literally like, these graphics look terrible, this game's gonna suck. And I'm like, I cannot like begin to understand that somebody thinks that unironically.
01:21:31
Devon Kopete
You know, it's like you really think that's what the games you look like in five years or whatever.
01:21:36

slimeballsteve
It's the Final Fantasy.
01:23:27
Devon Kopete
It's the it's so yeah
01:23:30
Fartiosa
There's probably going to be four more of these last dances with Venom. This is part one.
01:23:34
Devon Kopete
i know Actually, I do think top parties like this is my last one. He's like fuck you um I mean, I don't know it's it's
01:23:38
Fartiosa
All right. That's good.
01:23:43
Fartiosa
um It's a thing. It's going to happen. It may be the last one. So let's enjoy that.
01:23:47
Devon Kopete
I Just want them to have sex in this one Venom and Eddie like they just need to Yeah, it's like they're not even subtle about it, you know what I mean at this stage they're like not dude They're dating.
01:23:54
Fartiosa
Oh, bang it out.
01:23:58
Fartiosa
Yeah. They love each other. They're in love.
01:24:02
Devon Kopete
Yeah, they're in love
01:24:04
Devon Kopete
And that's a really fun direction to go into with a character so fucking why not I Agree um The only thing that bums me out is Apparently ah this director is like pretty it's pretty hardcore ah like
01:24:08
Fartiosa
And look. Let's transition to a good trailer and that's Alien Romulus. This looks fucking great.
01:24:30
Fartiosa
What do you mean?
01:24:32
slimeballsteve
They did, they did evil did 2013, right?
01:24:35
Devon Kopete
Yeah. But apparently that actress refuses to work with him anymore because he's like, he's a hardcore, he's like, no, fuck you, you're doing this.
01:24:45
Devon Kopete
Like, I don't care if it's, we're not going to make it comfortable for you.
01:24:49
Devon Kopete
ah Like, you know, you're supposed to be cold and wet and everything sucks. And, ah you know, I think he was a little, he's hardcore about it. um Then again, I don't know like is that you just being soft or or is it what right?
01:25:05
Fartiosa
It looks good, I guess.
01:25:06
Devon Kopete
But that movie is amazing and Alien Romulus. This looks crazy good too.
01:25:12
Fartiosa
Yeah, sure does. Also crazy good. Maxine's official trailer number two. This looks fucking great.
01:25:21
Devon Kopete
just skipped it. I skipped this one because I said I don't need to I don't need to see anymore.
01:25:25
Devon Kopete
I'm in I'm locked in
01:25:26
slimeballsteve
I feel like that's, that's a rare, rare pull for you, Devin.
01:25:31
Devon Kopete
I know normally I used to do. I mean, I posted it too, but I was like, I'm already in.
01:25:37
Fartiosa
This movie looked great.
01:25:38
Devon Kopete
I mean, because at this point, this is going to sound fucked up, but it's obviously clips or a trailer. I just looked for the scene where she kicks that extra in the face.
01:25:47
Devon Kopete
And I just don't want to remind myself of that news. So.
01:25:51
Fartiosa
It's really it's really bummer It sucks cuz you're like I like I liked me a goth I really hey think she's attractive thought she's good actress too Now she's an asshole.
01:26:03
Fartiosa
So yeah Bit of a face kicker
01:26:04
Devon Kopete
Oh, who knows?
01:26:05
slimeballsteve
bit of a face kicker.
01:26:07
Devon Kopete
A bit of a face kicker, yeah.
01:26:09
Fartiosa
And let's move on to another famous face kicker, Paul Giamatti, to star in Hostel TV series from Eli Roth.
01:26:16
slimeballsteve
The picture from this article is such a juxtaposition from the headline.
01:26:21
Devon Kopete
Like Academy Award winning Paul Giamatti.
01:26:22
Fartiosa
He's so happy looking.
01:26:24
slimeballsteve
Yeah, it's like, Hey, I'm Poggiamatti.
01:26:28
Devon Kopete
I just... I wanna know where Chris's brain goes here because like I think we all really like Paul Giamatti.
01:26:36
Fartiosa
But I really don't like Eli Roth, so it's like...
01:26:36
Devon Kopete
Some of us, yeah. and I know Chris really hates Eli Roth and I despise the hostile show or movies.
01:26:45
Fartiosa
Yeah, me too. I don't like him either.
01:26:46
Devon Kopete
They're like just bad, just purely bad.
01:26:48
slimeballsteve
All right. Hold on. Let me sell you on this. Okay.
01:26:50
slimeballsteve
What if they just go nuts where they're like, all right, it's not going to be like this, like wild gore, like fast. It's basically Eli Roth is trying to run a European hostel and people are too, or no, I'm sorry.
01:27:04
Devon Kopete
Mm-hmm. Oh Eli Roth, right?
01:27:07
slimeballsteve
Paul Giamatti is trying to run a hostel and in Europe and people keep watching the hostile movies and like not giving him any business.
01:27:08
Devon Kopete
Okay Because they're like I don't want to get murdered I mean Yeah
01:27:17
slimeballsteve
So he's. Exactly. So he has to make hotels look just as bad.
01:27:27
Fartiosa
I'm gonna tell you something Steve, this is far too clever for Eli Roth.
01:27:31
Fartiosa
I don't know what you're expecting from this guy.
01:27:33
Devon Kopete
I mean I kind of like the idea that He's just like the whole movie's just him trying to amp himself up to chop somebody up in a hostel and he just can't do it Well, it's a movie. It's a show nevermind Well, that's it he finally does in season three I Fucking did it Yeah
01:27:45
slimeballsteve
Come on, do it, do it.
01:27:46
slimeballsteve
Yeah, that could be season three. He does chop someone up.
01:27:51
slimeballsteve
Oh, I did it!
01:27:52
Fartiosa
So it's a prequel. It's a prequel to the hostile movies. he's
01:27:56
slimeballsteve
He's just like a really nice European guy and like, I don't know if you put the hostile movies into the plot kind of like, um was that ah Human Centipede 3?
01:28:07
Devon Kopete
ah Chris you you're a big fan of that one John Suarez loves that movie.
01:28:09
Fartiosa
Don't reference that movie like you a seen it or beads good Don't even start don't even start with me God damn it All right, is that all the yeah, I think so Wow
01:28:25
Devon Kopete
Oh Gosh well i was in a hold on I Thought there was something there
01:28:32
eldong ring
Toy Story 5 has Andrew Stanton directing it, which is pretty good news.
01:28:37
Devon Kopete
Who is what? Why is he from?
01:28:38
Fartiosa
that's ah That's a good news, bad news scenario for me there, John.
01:28:41
slimeballsteve
Good news, bad news.
01:28:41
eldong ring
did um He did a did Wally and i Finding Nemo.
01:28:46
Devon Kopete
Oh, that's that's the stack ah of L's those two.
01:28:51
eldong ring
Yeah. those yeah yeah the two most The two worst Pixar movies of all time.
01:28:51
Devon Kopete
ah Oh, wait, what? Yeah. ah Steve, what is this? What is this?
01:29:01
slimeballsteve
Amazon's diving into the video game well again with a Yakuza like a dragon show.
01:29:07
Fartiosa
Yeah, I mean if they play up the goofiness of it all they might got they might got something here, you know Yeah Yeah, they're starting to be good now
01:29:08
Devon Kopete
No, what if this is just two cuts or it's just cut scenes and that's all it is.
01:29:10
eldong ring
Yakuza Yakuza I hope it's a bunch of just karaoke clips.
01:29:12
slimeballsteve
It could just be cut scenes. I don't know. They just put out a poster and I said, that would.
01:29:18
slimeballsteve
That would be very delightful.
01:29:18
eldong ring
That'll be cool There's no way they're gonna make it too serious right actually, you know, what I'm done Done like speculating negative things about video game adaptations because we've been wrong Been wrong
01:29:26
Devon Kopete
Mm hmm. Probably. It's going to be great. Yeah.
01:29:38
Fartiosa
They're starting to be good and Amazon Prime's got a good track record recently. So Three I don't know what we're doing here, but one Shoot
01:29:42
slimeballsteve
one two god
01:29:46
Devon Kopete
yeah um ah ah
01:29:48
slimeballsteve
damn it well devin turned into the tootsie pop commercial
01:29:51
Devon Kopete
i dont know Yeah, and then it went to the count I i got all mixed up ah Yeah, no, I mean uh Shoot hey, I saw I saw some movies, but when they weren't that good
01:30:08
Fartiosa
Yeah, you know, I saw Hitman and I liked it. I thought it was good, but it's a little it was a little uneven in parts.
01:30:17
slimeballsteve
it's It's too tempting, Chris, to just go more like shit, man, at the end of the movie.
01:30:25
Fartiosa
I think that that Glenn dude, he's a good actor. I don't know. I forget his last name, Glenn.
01:30:29
Devon Kopete
Just wait until he tries to start eating people.
01:30:32
Fartiosa
Glenn Powell, is that his name?
01:30:35
Fartiosa
Yeah, i he's good at this.
01:30:35
Devon Kopete
Hey, so wait, ah does that mean you're you're yeah back in for twisters?
01:30:40
Devon Kopete
Oh, come on.
01:30:42
Fartiosa
You know what's cool about this?
01:30:42
slimeballsteve
Come on, man, with it, man.
01:30:43
Devon Kopete
I heard he charms a twister. He just chs charms at a F5 tornado.
01:30:48
Fartiosa
What's really cool about this movie, for him at least, is he gets to play a bunch of different characters at once in this.
01:30:55
slimeballsteve
That's fun.
01:30:56
Fartiosa
Yeah, it is really fun, and he does a really good job with it.
01:31:00
Devon Kopete
Just to show off his range a little bit.
01:31:00
Fartiosa
Because, yeah, yeah, it's basically a movie that shows off his range and he has a good deal range. He's pretty funny and he's very charming. And the romantic scenes, there's a lot of chemistry and it all works really well.
01:31:16
Devon Kopete
Chris, I have I have a movie for you. We'll talk about Glen Powell romance.
Film Critiques and Upcoming Releases
01:31:21
Fartiosa
No, I'm not watching that piece of shit.
01:31:22
Devon Kopete
Oh, come on.
01:31:23
Fartiosa
This one, this one actually kind of like played with the formula of a romantic comedy enough for me to be interested enough in it. Like that, that, that one was
01:31:32
eldong ring
Wait which one?
01:31:34
Devon Kopete
Hitman so Chris Chris saw hitman a rom-com But he refuses to watch anyone, but you He didn't see you didn't see it You
01:31:35
Fartiosa
Hitman hit Yeah, it was Yeah, because that's a shitty rom-com I want to watch I don't care. It's one of this. It's the formulaic ones. This isn't this is a very much a very much ah Pushes against the genre so well Well, if somebody were to tell me that was in it that I've seen the movie
01:31:51
Devon Kopete
don't remember that part where Sydney Sweeney's face explodes and turns into a face hugger and
01:32:02
Devon Kopete
somebody Yeah, we need to find the selling point that isn't just Sydney. So any Chris is somehow above that.
01:32:09
Fartiosa
I mean more romantic comedies as a whole are formulaic, generic pieces of shit.
01:32:14
Devon Kopete
Yeah, yeah, drivel.
01:32:14
Fartiosa
Like you gotta play, you gotta get dribble. You gotta play with the genre and you gotta push against expectations for it to be any good. And I think Hitman does that enough. I think it doesn't do it like, no, it doesn't do it enough. It doesn't ah like a few times very well. but it does kind of fall back into it, but it's enough for me to enjoy it as something different and a different take on it.
01:32:43
Fartiosa
So I would suggest seeing it if you like, if you want to see that guy act, he's very, very good in this.
01:32:51
Fartiosa
And his female lead, the the other character in the film, she's fantastic. So really good acting in this movie, but I don't know. i i I don't think it was great. I think it's, Good. I think it was a good flick. Very much a good sit. That's basically what I've been saying about every movie I've seen for the past four months now.
01:33:11
Devon Kopete
yeah Yeah, it's uh.
01:33:15
Fartiosa
I like since Dune, it's just been like, yeah, good sit, good sit, good sit. That's kind of how I feel.
01:33:23
Devon Kopete
Good set work.
01:33:23
Fartiosa
It's nothing terrible, really. I haven't seen anything that I would describe as awful, which is good, I guess.
01:33:31
Fartiosa
That's also a positive. um TV. Did I watch any TV shows? No, I didn't watch any TV.
01:33:38
eldong ring
I Watched um, I finished dead boy detectives
01:33:41
Devon Kopete
Oh, how was it?
01:33:43
eldong ring
I liked it, man. Like sometimes the dialogue doesn't really hit. You know, it's like, you know, your basic fucking first season of a weird tweenie tweenie bopper slash adult ah show.
01:33:57
eldong ring
But like, I know I was into it. There were there was another Sandman reference in um later on in the season to not just death in the first episode.
01:34:11
eldong ring
um But yeah. I was like, oh, is that despair?
01:34:16
eldong ring
Sam was like, who's that? I was like, he mentions the endless and now he's in this room of mirrors. And I was right.
01:34:25
eldong ring
Yeah, it's cool. It's like it's not like, you know, it's not breaking bad, right?
01:34:31
eldong ring
But um it's also like it's like the same type of show, I would say, is like as a Doom Patrol where it's like wacky.
01:34:41
eldong ring
um And still like adult themes and stuff, but not nearly as good as do patrol but still it's still fine like it's still like I don't like Sam's like I was just gonna get renewed for a season two and then I saw i was like oh it was Netflix. No, it'll get cancelled That'll get cancelled sadly.
01:35:01
Fartiosa
yeah's good man Yeah, Nah, they need to make room for their Terminator anime they have coming up.
01:35:02
Devon Kopete
ah work oh yeah no there
01:35:10
eldong ring
Oh gosh, yeah.
01:35:11
Devon Kopete
I'm locked in for that. Sorry.
01:35:12
Fartiosa
I kind of have to.
01:35:14
Devon Kopete
You know, wait, I actually I saw some piece of news where Terminator anime like they got some sort of some big names of voice acting
01:35:29
Devon Kopete
the, uh, like, like maybe not huge name, but it was like something like Jason's a dicks or something like a name I wasn't expecting. Um, but of course now I can't find it.
01:35:41
Fartiosa
Ted Lasso is a Terminator.
01:35:41
Devon Kopete
So I don't know. I may have just made up that.
01:35:43
Fartiosa
Terminator Lasso. I'll take it.
01:35:45
slimeballsteve
The Lassinator.
01:35:46
Devon Kopete
Uh, uh, yeah.
01:35:47
Fartiosa
The Lassinator. H.D.
01:35:51
Devon Kopete
Uh, voice actor. Let's see. Oh, that fucking, that was stupid. That was stupid.
01:35:57
Fartiosa
Yeah, you're stupid.
01:35:57
Devon Kopete
Google. Anyway, yeah it is I I saw I saw love lies bleeding um Argyle and in Civil War and um ah Kill Argyle
01:35:59
Fartiosa
All of this is stupid.
01:36:13
eldong ring
What was the best one? MFK those three right now.
01:36:16
Fartiosa
Yeah, that's a good one.
01:36:23
eldong ring
Oh, man, I thought that was going to be like the shadow like Mary Argyle.
01:36:25
Devon Kopete
no uh kill love lies bleeding uh fuck civil war i wouldn't even at none of them's a mary like not our
01:36:26
eldong ring
It was awesome.
01:36:33
eldong ring
But wait, wait, you killed Love Lies Bleeding and Argyle.
01:36:37
Devon Kopete
guy yeah dude love lies bleeding might be the worst one no i know i just refuse because none of them are even close to a mary yeah dude dude i fucking hated it dude dude
01:36:38
eldong ring
You killed. No, I said MFK, the three of them.
01:36:45
Fartiosa
Didn't I didn't have such a strong reaction to love wisely as you did like I didn't think it's terrible I think the first two acts are pretty good and then the last act is awful She's she's not great.
01:36:50
eldong ring
What the fuck, dude?
01:36:54
eldong ring
was it too Was it too sexy?
01:36:55
Devon Kopete
Kristen Stewart really bad in it.
01:36:56
eldong ring
Was it too sexy for you?
01:36:57
Devon Kopete
She's really bad in it and Then it gets to a point where you're like this is becoming This is like becoming like a parody, right?
01:36:59
Fartiosa
She is you're right. That's great Well, it's very much It's very much
01:37:02
eldong ring
I thought she was god to her. I thought Christa too was god to her.
01:37:06
Devon Kopete
It was like getting close to parody and then it just flies off a cliff.
01:37:10
Devon Kopete
It just flies completely off cliff Dude, it's Dude dude, we're talking about the opening credits here.
01:37:12
Fartiosa
Style over substance. There's not a lot in the movie But I I generally like the style. I really like the opening credits. I thought that was awesome I know but it's it's see that's the thing.
01:37:25
Fartiosa
I think there is some merit to the style of the movie I don't know.
01:37:28
Devon Kopete
824 got lazy man. This is what happened I
01:37:32
Fartiosa
I I I do think the end is where it falls apart. You're not wrong But I don't know if I hated it in the first two acts. We couldn't say that.
01:37:43
Devon Kopete
I was barely interested. And then I was like, this is getting, it was actually like when it started flying off a cliff, I was like, this isn't going to be interesting all of a sudden. And then it just like, I was like, Oh no, this is just completely fucking stupid. Like I hate this. Argyle is like, I like Matthew Vaughn. I like the people in this movie, but Matthew Vaughn movies like Kingsman and all that, like,
01:38:12
Fartiosa
I do not like these movies.
01:38:12
Devon Kopete
He has he has like one of those, like, you know, in those movies, there's always like something completely bonkers will happen. And he has like three of those moments and they're within like 20, like 10 minutes of each other. And it's way too long. It's way too convoluted. And then it's just not even it like it would irritate. It annoyed me by the end of it.
01:38:36
Fartiosa
I think Mackie Vaughn is a hack. I really, really need the hacky director.
01:38:39
Devon Kopete
ah I don't know man first class is a fucking certified hit Kingsman
01:38:46
Fartiosa
That's good. I don't think anything else he's made is any good.
01:38:49
eldong ring
What else is he made?
01:38:51
Fartiosa
The Kingsman movies?
01:38:52
Devon Kopete
he did he did a kick-ass, right?
01:38:54
eldong ring
the first Kingsman.
01:38:56
Devon Kopete
Wasn't that him too?
01:38:56
Fartiosa
I don't like it. I don't like Kickass. I don't like Kingsman. I don't like any of those movies.
01:38:59
Devon Kopete
Yeah, I like Kickus yeah ah Mark do kick us.
01:39:00
eldong ring
I believe it's pronounced kickus. I think that's how it's pronounced actually.
01:39:06
Devon Kopete
Yes No, yeah, but like Argyle, he didn't do Snatch.
01:39:09
eldong ring
You don't make snatch.
01:39:13
Fartiosa
No, that's Guy Ritchie.
01:39:13
Devon Kopete
This guy, this guy Ritchie.
01:39:14
eldong ring
He's on here.
01:39:16
eldong ring
And he must have like. got the coffee for everyone then
01:39:19
Devon Kopete
yeah um And then I watched Civil War, which was like good.
01:39:25
Devon Kopete
um It felt like, I was telling Chris about this earlier. It kind of felt like it wanted to be like really edgy, like, imagine when you if you saw like natural born killers when you were like way too young and it was almost like oh my god i'm actually like something like really fucked up like there are moments in there uh it's honestly i think a little too it talks around everything like regarding politics but if the whole point of the movie is like there's a civil war because of politics but then it just
01:39:44
eldong ring
Got the coffee for everyone then. Because he is on here.
01:39:59
Fartiosa
You want to talk about, and talk about style over substance, natural born killers.
01:40:09
Devon Kopete
Yeah, I know, but like I remember when I saw that when I was younger and I was like, this is like almost like I'm watching porn.
01:40:09
Fartiosa
yeah It is very, it's graphic and exploitive, but
01:40:14
Devon Kopete
Like it just seemed fucked up.
01:40:17
Devon Kopete
Yeah. And there's there's stuff in here, right? Where it's it's like this kind of needlessly stressful and graphic and fucked up ah because there's a civil war ah happening. um the character Wagner Mora, or Wagner Mora, who plays Pablo Escobar in Narcos, which I've never seen, but I see that meme of him standing around all the time. ah i yeah I've never seen Narcos. i I think this is like my only experience with him.
01:40:50
Devon Kopete
And he's really annoying in this movie. And it's I think it's because
01:40:57
Devon Kopete
I feel like he wanted his character to be way cooler than he was ever supposed to be. Like in this movie. He's like, no, it's cool. I just like smoke cigarettes and I scream when I'm mad all the time. And like, I'm just like, I'm jaded, but I'm not too jaded because that's Kirsten Dunst's character. She's the jaded one. um And then I, and then it kind of just like, the movie just happens and you're following it and it's, there's some stuff that's supposed to be provocative and it is to a point. Um, but like, this is going to sound extremely snooty, but like, I think I'm just like too old for this movie. Like if I was like, I, it kind of felt like they wanted this to be like the Joker for, her for real film watchers.
01:41:46
Devon Kopete
You know, they wanted to be like, dude, like you're gonna watch this and you're a think we're gonna make you think about this.
01:41:52
Fartiosa
I don't know, man, when the director quits making movies after making this, then you got to ask yourself, is is it good? Like if he's like, you know, I made that Civil War movie, I'm not doing this anymore.
01:42:00
Devon Kopete
Well, no, that's the thing. It's like.
01:42:07
Devon Kopete
But I think he i think it was pretty clear he was done because he didn't like the politicking of Hollywood. He was like, I don't know.
01:42:12
Fartiosa
maybe i don't know i'm sure this didn't help it sounds a bit like this movie and i haven't seen it but it sounds a bit like it's very much just surface level stuff it's not
01:42:13
Devon Kopete
This is too much fucking work. No, not sure. But I'm just saying, like, you know, when the Joker came out and then everybody who was like 15 to like 20, five was like, this is my personality, right?
01:42:34
Fartiosa
really digging into anything. It's not, it's just kind of an experiential film versus it being a commentary on anything.
01:42:36
Devon Kopete
Yeah, like I don't know there was.
01:42:42
Fartiosa
Like you just experiencing what a civil war would be without any type of politics or anything like that.
01:42:50
Devon Kopete
And there's there's some nice character moments, but like it wasn't even approaching like. Really good, it was just good.
01:43:00
Devon Kopete
So and and again, this is like I've been on a ah quest to kind of catch up on a lot of movies. I meant to watch and I haven't. And I think I only have I got two movies left, but they're both spooky, scary movies. So I got to figure out a way to watch those because Jenny refuses. So.
01:43:23
slimeballsteve
Too scary, huh?
01:43:24
Devon Kopete
Yeah, it's going to be Abigail and technically it's not this year, but it was the
01:43:28
Fartiosa
I gotta see Abigail, I heard that was good.
01:43:30
slimeballsteve
Yeah, I heard I heard good things about that Slab Abigail
01:43:30
Devon Kopete
Yeah, I mean shoot Chris maybe we can uh, yeah, well Abigail night All right.
01:43:34
Fartiosa
You can come on over and watch yourself some Abigail. I'm down with dirt.
01:43:40
Devon Kopete
All right, lock it in Oh
01:43:40

01:43:50
Fartiosa

01:43:56
Fartiosa
I gotta figure out what happened.
01:43:56
slimeballsteve

01:43:59
Fartiosa
It's all I'm going to say. All right.
01:44:01
Fartiosa

01:44:03
Devon Kopete

01:44:08
Fartiosa
I think I'm going to try to shoot for the end of the month, being my Terry Gillum, uh, Galunian chill too. So we're going to do all of it. We're going to do it all, baby.

Devon Kopete
Yeah. Like, have you watched any yet?
01:44:21
Fartiosa
