00:00:23
Speaker
Why didn't you have a good weekend, Devin? What happened? And the cause of my bad weekend, John Suarez. Hmm. What did John do? That's actually true. That's not, I just wanted to leave it with that.
00:00:35
Speaker
ah No, I was walking. I was, we were talking about Tylenol intake and how it's been spiking. Mine's been spiking for a specific reason. um I took a nasty little spill yesterday.
00:00:48
Speaker
What'd slip on? I had, trip i just, my ankle. Dude, I we slipped on something freaky, you freak. eagle ghost fell Jokes is eating, chomping at the bed. I heard a large crack.
00:01:00
Speaker
And I felt what seemed to be my ankle bone smash into the sidewalk before I like ah before I kind of straighten it out. And then I just got a limp now.
00:01:13
Speaker
Dude, I haven't really been able to do anything. What does Lil Wayne call it, Chris? You got a gun walk right now? yeah like you're hiding Like you're hiding your shotgun in your pants. The Philly Lean. The Philly Lean. The Lil Wayne gun walk. Come on on, let's go. Let's go to the South Street. They're having like an event. and I was like, okay. Okay. Sure.
00:01:35
Speaker
Let's take the cobblestone sidewalk. dude I didn't even get that. mean, would you like to come into my office? Maybe we can give you a diagnosis. Yeah, i made like a block and a half. And then like, like i legitimately thought I broke some.
00:01:48
Speaker
Devin, do you have any bruising around the area of contact? I don't, which is good sign. Is there any swelling? Yeah, was to have swelling. Next. There's swelling in my shin, which is interesting. You like to call that a high ankle sprain? That is. On a scale of one to five, what would you say your pain is at right now?
00:02:08
Speaker
Right now, I'd say it's about ah three... If I put weight on it. Yeah. three withs like Putting weight on it. we' We're putting weight on it. What is it? Which ankle was it? Was your right or your left ankle? right ankle. Putting weight on it. It goes three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine. It like builds. Have you tried drive? Have you tried driving with it? is it hurt I did. i I actually had
Video Game Reviews and Critiques
00:02:30
Speaker
to drive our neighbor's dog home and it sucked.
00:02:33
Speaker
ah Are you right or left ankle? I don't. That's a very good question. do you throw with your right ankle or do you throw with your left ankle? No, can I be honest? ah That's a real like left or right leg. and I'm actually, i don't have like a dominant leg.
00:02:47
Speaker
Oh, you're ambidextrous then. Well, you always shuffle. You do shuffle. so If I were to throw a ball at you, Devin, which leg would you put back to stable you? I could hit anyone.
00:02:58
Speaker
I mean, right now it'd be, I don't know which one because. I can't kick with my fucked up ankle. but youre able to Are you able to do a tree pose on the right ankle? The yoga tree pose. No. So you're just out of commission. You're just.
00:03:13
Speaker
All right. So I'm going to give you my diagnosis, Devin. OK. I think you're fucked up. Yeah, no, I was. ah Jenny felt kind of bad. And then. ah Seriously, think you have a sprained ankle.
00:03:25
Speaker
No, yeah. I mean, i what was concerning was the pain in the shin. i was like, why does my shin hurt? Because I didn't eat shit, right? i rolled it and then, you know, caught myself.
00:03:38
Speaker
Gotcha. but then eventually I had to just like sit down and be like, yo, I can't. move my leg. Yeah, Devin, i used to do that almost regularly playing basketball, especially going off of rebounds because I would come down on my ankle funky.
00:03:53
Speaker
And yeah, there's that stiffness and swelling. It feels like your ankle's bigger than the rest your leg. really tight. It's really tight. yeah And if i do get it if I can get it to crack a little bit, it's like a motherfuckers.
00:04:06
Speaker
Ice and you got to put that on a pillow. Elevate the rice thing, right? uh, ice and, and elevation.
00:04:16
Speaker
Uh, wait, what is, uh, yeah, what's it's called the rice method. Oh, uh, Ray, that's for cell phones. If your cell phone goes, no, no, no. I know what Devin's talking about. it's Yeah. Yeah.
00:04:28
Speaker
Although apparently it's not, that's like super out of date at this point, but the point is, is, uh, it's a good, it's a good jacked up. And then Jenny's like, Oh shit. And, uh,
00:04:39
Speaker
I kind of shout out to Jenny, though. She took care of me. No more twerking for Devin. No twerking days are done, dude. I'm sorry. You're too old it. more concerned about life like, because it is much better today than it was yesterday.
00:04:55
Speaker
But it really is kind of one of those like, you know, if I start just like, if I had to walk the dog, I'd be in fucking agony by the end of the trip. But, ah you know, it ah it sucks.
00:05:07
Speaker
I'm hoping it gets better, but I've been Watching a lot of video game. Playing a lot of video game. it's not Watching a lot of video game. Yeah, you said watching first. I know, I know, I know. i Well, I did catch up on some TV.
00:05:22
Speaker
Dude, Dokes is real suspicious right now. I caught up on some Dexter Original Sin. Did you really? No,
Gaming Technology and Cultural Portrayals
00:05:30
Speaker
no. I actually watched all of season one of The Expanse.
00:05:34
Speaker
A few weeks ago, I was like, I'm going to fucking do it. Expanse. I'm going to sit down and I'm going to give it a go. Uh, turned out I'd watched like 80% of season one, like four years ago or whatever it was. think did too. tried to get into it.
00:05:48
Speaker
For that matter. And then, uh, and then like ah the final two that I hadn't seen were pretty good, but I was like, okay, that was season one. ah Yeah. The first season from what I remember was pretty lackluster. It was fine. You know, again, I'm like, where's the, where's the hits dude? Like, yeah, give it.
00:06:07
Speaker
And then, um, And then in terms of just playing things, I've been putting some real time in the Claire Obscure. boy. You cried? I got to. No. No, I didn't cry. man. did get to.
00:06:22
Speaker
I guess Steve knows. I got the chapter two. Okay. I know where you're at. yeah Oh, shit. Oh, that's a spoiler, dude. There's two chapters in the game? Fuck. Fuck. I guess i'm not guess I'm not playing it now.
00:06:34
Speaker
Yeah, there's sequence that happens. Goddamn freak, Devin. Goddamn it, Dukes. I don't know how I feel about it. Well, actually... About the game? Yeah, kind of.
00:06:47
Speaker
The story's pretty good so far. and um'm I'm enjoying the story. What I'm not enjoying is...
00:06:56
Speaker
how a lot of the battles... Well, what I do like is the battles feel important. Like, it's... It's not completely randomized. Why did you start playing this? Ghost of Jota comes out this week, I think, right?
00:07:10
Speaker
Uh, no. yes Because everybody never be in my life wanted to play this game at the worst opportune time. yeah I'll go over second. You're going to finish an 80-hour game by Thursday?
00:07:22
Speaker
Yeah.
00:07:25
Speaker
No, I had to put time in. i had to put time in because I wanted to make sure I was like invested, you know? Yeah, but it's like... Oh, Devin, you are day one with Ghost of Yotai? Oh, yeah.
00:07:37
Speaker
That's like his whole thing. Is it? I mean, I'm probably going to get it too, day one. don't know. Listen, i'm all I'm hearing that... All I'm hearing is mid. All I'm hearing is mid. Really? I'm hearing it's just better than the first one, which I really don't know. I'm hearing it's better. No, but people are calling critics out for saying it's better than the first one, but they gave it a ah lower score.
00:07:58
Speaker
Interesting. But it's it like, I think it's net scoring higher, isn't it? I don't think so. Tsushima was like ninety s right? Wait, are we talking Metacritic or OpenCritic? What looking at?
00:08:09
Speaker
can do both. I'll look at OpenCritic. Okay, you do... I'll do Meta. i live in meta I'm already on meta. I don't even know what to do with video game reviews anymore, man.
00:08:20
Speaker
Yeah. It's like I look at the list. It's the same. Same Metacritic score. 87-87. 20 of the critics are these like just fucking like nothing
Resident Evil Discussions and Gaming Trends
00:08:30
Speaker
websites that people fart out a 10 on.
00:08:33
Speaker
And then there's like three at the bottom where it's like, okay, those are actually like websites. Those are like the real... I mean, if the... Steve, if the first game's like an 85 and the second game's an 84...
00:08:45
Speaker
four Like, is it really that much of a game? That's the same. That's the same. Look, we're living in a world where Donkey Kong Bonanza got a point lower than a Hollow Knight Silksong.
00:09:04
Speaker
I mean, uh... I'm like 20 minutes into the Silksong. Yeah, dude. Is Hades 2 in the 92, dude? What's Hades 1? Everybody getting that?
00:09:16
Speaker
i but That's my problem with the Hades games because it's like I buy them and they do a first release and then I forget I have them. Chris, you bought Borderlands for Steam Deck? I sure did. um yeah Hades 2 is ah as actually optimized on Steam Deck. like that i don't First of all, a A, I don't like Hades at all.
00:09:36
Speaker
ah we know B, um there was a new update for Borderlands. I have not A big one, too. A chunky 11 gig update. um yeah How's that going to make it run better if it takes up 11 gigabytes? They got to replace it. that's They're taking out the old game, putting in a new one. That's what it felt like when I was downloading it on my Steam Deck. I'm like, I got wait around for this one. They're revamping the whole thing.
00:10:02
Speaker
Fuck, I have to download the whole game over again. So... I mean, I gotta imagine it's somewhat better. I haven't played it yet with the new update. You know, because like it's still not verified on Steam.
00:10:18
Speaker
It probably won't ever be. it probably won't. ah But yeah, you know what? I'm going to go back to it at some point. I'm going to try it until it gets it right.
00:10:30
Speaker
Chris, maybe you can use this as an excuse to just buy a game in PC. Yeah. oh fuck that man i'm too far into this steam deck i got at least another couple months with this thing before i start making those decisions i think you passed your two your two hours chris oh man god damn it two hours your two hour refund window i don't care yeah but it's just weird because i've played i've played some really like like i played elden ring and the DLC on Steam Deck. ran And it ran perfectly. It's not the Steam Deck. I played Cyberpunk 2077 and I played Red Dead Redemption 2 on Steam Deck.
00:11:10
Speaker
Those ran perfectly. i agree one million percent. It's not the Steam Deck. It's just the shithead who made Borderlands 4. The one shithead guy. but Well,
00:11:23
Speaker
I mean, i don't know I don't know how many games I played on that was on Unreal Engine 5, though. So maybe that's gatekeeper. I mean, they don't work well. I can tell you that. you know i do have some experience. I think, wasn't the Fallout games Unreal Engine?
00:11:37
Speaker
my not not the Not the latest Unreal Engine. Yeah, they were older ones. The the Unreal Engine 5 is like notorious for having to take an extra while to load shaders.
00:11:49
Speaker
I see. Well, to be real with you, I've always had problems with the Unreal Engine because I play Bethesda games. So it's like... They use that pretty much primarily, right? No, Bethesda. Bethesda's its own weird engine. ah yeah They've got that weird freak engine that they've been using since, like, Fallout 3.
00:12:07
Speaker
Well, regardless, I have experience playing games that aren't, but let's say, the nicest way to say this is optimized. you've been You've been through the war. Yeah. I mean, I played Cyberpunk...
00:12:19
Speaker
beat it when it was trash mode you know like i i can overlook some things i can't really do that with when i played borderlands 4 it was just it made me sick playing it that's that's a testimony like you're like yeah when flavorprunt came out i beat it yeah yeah like i beat the fucking game before they fixed anything and this one is like literally makes me ill like Like, visually, like I get motion sickness.
00:12:48
Speaker
It's very... like you're saying You're saying it's like very like, start, stop, start, stop. Oh, it's stuttering. The stuttering is... Like, when you're just moving around, obviously it gets worse some more things are on the screen. At that point, it's just fucking one frame at a time, which doesn't bother me as much as when it's just normally stuttering.
00:13:06
Speaker
Because that really fucks with my eyes. Yeah, the only the only game I'm seeing right now that's like, all like you know, that's... comparable to these types of games that's verified on steam deck that uses on real engine five is oblivion remaster and that's a piece of shit and does that run does that run good on the scene no and that's verified that's steam deck verified yeah that thing was crashing non-stop when i played it very lied i mean wow that's sucks i yeah like hmm
00:13:41
Speaker
i I played Oblivion to the point where I couldn't play it anymore. And I did the same with Borderlands 4. It's like there's there's a give point for me where if I'm feeling ill while playing, i got to stop.
00:13:52
Speaker
You know? No, that's fair. It's like the Ludovico effect. It's making you sick. It is p priming me against wanting to play video games at all because I'm like, oh, boot up that Steam Deck. going make me want to barf.
00:14:04
Speaker
Right, yeah. you you're You're being a Clockwork Orange train. Yeah, basically. It was I will say. Yeah, so I'm not going to keep that up. and yeah Yeah, until it's like, well, you know, let's do a quick little Google search. Let's see if ah let's see where they fix the problem. A little bit of a Google search. Borderlands...
00:14:24
Speaker
would guess assume the newest patch, which was 11 gigs, had something to do. Well, it must have something to do with fixing. Yeah, the new latest update contains significant stability improvements, gameplay fixes, and new features introduced. You know, what the fuck am I doing? I got my Steam Deck over there. I'm just going boot it up.
00:14:45
Speaker
And I'm going to see what it looks like. We're going to get live coverage. You're going get live review. Live barfing, dude. Excuse me. While you're booting that up. well Yeah, yeah, yeah. I've been playing Sonic Racing Cross Worlds.
00:14:58
Speaker
I almost bought that. So, hold on. before you Before you go into it, Steve, I was watching ah bunch of Twitch play streamers play this game. Yeah. And although it looked really fun, it just looked like a very flashier like and i'm trying I'm not trying to be a fucking Nintendo dickhole right now, but like it just seemed like the difference between Street Fighter 6 and Tekken 8.
00:15:27
Speaker
eight like This looked like Tekken 8, where it's like flashier, it's got louder music, like it's aesthetically cooler looking, but it didn't seem like the mechanics of the game was better than Mario Kart.
00:15:43
Speaker
So I'm interested to hear what you say. because it it didn't And again, I hate Mario Kart World. ah really it i don't hate string you why don't why don't hate it, but like i'm not like I'm not addicted to it. But like at the same time, it is a really good Mario Kart game mechanically, I think.
00:16:01
Speaker
So I'm interested to see. Because Tekken 8 looks and sounds like cool and amazing and has all these techno beats and flashing lights and shit.
00:16:12
Speaker
and a better presentation of the character select screen than Street Fighter VI. But Street Fighter VI is a better fighting game. Yeah. that was kind of That's the comparison. Just from visual eyes, like seeing visually but but how how people were playing Sonic Racing.
00:16:27
Speaker
I'm sorry, just breaking Borderlands 4 update here. I actually have it booted up. um I'm 3% into processing Vulcan shaders. So just bear with me a moment, okay? Goddamn shaders. The goddamn Unreal shaders.
00:16:41
Speaker
um It is very much where, you know, Mario Kart World, it it's the better feeling game. Like, you know, when you're driving around, you know it's got that classic Mario Kart feel.
00:16:56
Speaker
ah Sonic Racing Cross Worlds, while it is definitely a little bit more like arcade style, flashy. It's very flashy. I'm going to say that they didn't use a it is a stylistic it like firework of a game. It's like a fucking, it'll give you a seizure. That's how that's how cool it is. The thing, though, it is I kind of love it. it is it is something where... So you're just a technical player, then.
00:17:24
Speaker
Well, no, no. Here's the thing. Here's the thing. While Mario cards are okay trader yeah well mario Kart World went and tried to redefine the wheel... but Sonic racing was just like, we're just going to play in the old camp of like, we're kind of a track based racer. And, you know, we're going to do this unique element that spices up the middle of the game. But everything else is just going to be, you know, kind of like in the Mario Kart eight. One thing I saw, dude, the one thing I, and again, I didn't play the game. I didn't really study the the mechanics of the game, but like the one thing I saw,
00:17:57
Speaker
i Like, I was watching this... I'm not gonna say his name, because he gets trolled a lot, but, like, it's just fucking... This raging Street Fighter ah Twitch streamer.
00:18:08
Speaker
Oh, Luteer God? It's not Luteer God. He's, like, notorious for fucking... For being, like, ah like just raging at people online at Street Fighter. Was playing the game, and, like, he saved, like, a supersonic power-up till he was, like, in like, sixth place and knew that he was almost at the end of the track.
00:18:27
Speaker
And then he just did it and then just won for free. And it felt it felt weird. I mean, that's a winston win button. like That's what people do with Mario Kart, though. Like, i've I've been watching people, like, actively, like, back up in Mario Kart world so they can ensure they get better, like... Yeah, but that no no but that's that's different, right? Because you still have to you stuff have to race.
00:18:49
Speaker
This guy wasn't... He wasn't in... He wasn't he wasn't sandbagging to get a better thing. He was able to save his power-up the entire race and until the very end what when and then he and then he did a supersonic move and just won the game won the race.
00:19:05
Speaker
That is impressive. and like um there not There's nothing like that in Mario Kart is what I'm saying. It's not like you so like you you can save your your in your ah your invincible star to the end and then you just win. if like place you don lose You can't save a power-up in Mario Kart?
00:19:20
Speaker
You can, but there's no power-up that will turn you into Super Sonic and just throw you in the first game. Is it like a bullet bill? Because I'm trying to think with the Sonic Racing Crossroads stuff. I don't know. He might have...
00:19:34
Speaker
He was Beast Sonic, and he turned into a yellow Beast Sonic, and then he was like, see, I fucking told you I was going to save it and I was going to win. He was raging out about like rage celebrating about it.
00:19:46
Speaker
He was proud he's probably using the equivalent of the Bullet Bill in because that turns you into like a yellow drill that like will auto control you. So yeah that that is literally a one for one with the Bullet Bill.
00:20:00
Speaker
Okay, so it's the same. Yeah, because the bull... In my opinion, I don't think the bull build can win you of the race when at the vta at the finish line. yeah Like, you still got you got to use it, and then like it doesn't even last that long. this just This just blasted him to the front, and then he won.
00:20:17
Speaker
okay But yeah, I don't know anything about the game. so it it is um like I haven't played any online. i've I've just been having fun with like a lot of the like kind of single player offerings because they they provide quite a bit. it's I think the rival system is very fun where it will present you with a rival and like you have like an ah an audible like back and forth at like the start of races.
00:20:43
Speaker
where like, you know, Knuckles or somebody will be like, I'm going to fuck you up. And you're going like, you're not going to fuck me up, Knuckles. Like, what are you talking about? um And they definitely play harder against you. While Mario Kart World, it felt like everybody was your rival. and They all hated you.
00:20:58
Speaker
um This is a game where it's something that I've been... didn't expect to like it as much. I played the demo and I was like, oh, I really like this. I really like how it just is wild. It's crazy.
00:21:10
Speaker
just is like wild it's crazy um And right now where Mario Kart World is not like the most favorable of the kart racers, they released it at a perfect time.
00:21:22
Speaker
And it's it's just been a really good just kind of like not trying to like, you know, go Go into a game and just, like, get my ass beat.
00:21:33
Speaker
Like, it's like... the The races are, like, real close. um But it is something where it's... It feels very, like, arcade-y and fun. So, it is definitely not... I'm i'm going to say it is not better than Mario Kart 8 World. Or not... Sorry. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. But it is, like, definitely, like...
00:21:55
Speaker
more like the presentation is higher but the the the mechanics aren't as as up there so they're kind of neck and neck for me with mario yeah i mean that that's the that's basically what i saw like like it it looked visually like it looked way more entertaining than than mario kart did yeah but it didn't i mean again i'm not really a mario kart expert really either but like it just seemed like there's a lot a lot more gimmicks again don't slit my throat, Devin. Like, I know these games are gimmick-based games, but, like, it just seemed like there were a lot more
00:22:32
Speaker
like volatile, random-type gimmicks. It does sound seem like they just wanted to move on Mario Kart 8. They tried to answer the same question that Mario Kart World did, where they were like, what if we had the tracks ah change in the middle? We're going to go from one to another. you know That's a cool little thing.
00:22:55
Speaker
yeah no But but it like looked it looked better on Sonic, though. like because I think it's Sonic... funeral like it looked like you were changing like it wasn't like you're changing tracks like like trade like again like the transitions were more natural in mario kart where this was like you're going through a fucking boom tube right it's like you're going through and like you're going from a desert to fucking outer space and then and then you you know but like here's my other question did you have a rainbow road experience in this game
00:23:29
Speaker
there is no There is no Rainbow Road. you are You are absolutely correct. There is no map that is like the Rainbow Road. no there's no like there's no like magical experience that Rainbow Road was in this game. because that's pretty it was pretty awesome in Mario Kart World.
00:23:43
Speaker
like I think that's the thing with Mario Kart. All the other stuff in Mario Kart World, drag it down though. like it those Those tracks are so like this is like epic. This is legendary. While like a lot of that game is like, oh, let's race on a highway to get to the track.
00:23:59
Speaker
Would you say the skill the skill ceiling is high? Which game has a higher skill ceiling? ah Probably Mario Kart World because you can do like those wall rides. The wall jumps. out Yeah, okay. um But this one is definitely like... Because I can't even do any of that shit.
00:24:16
Speaker
This is why I don't even touch online in Mario Kart World because I'm not... you can make a loadout for this one, which is like, that's the thing that I'm trying to wrap my brain around. Cause it's like, Hey, like if, if you know what you're doing and what you focus on, that's, that's how you can like, you know, change up how you are racing. So there's like a build, build crafting. out Yeah. You'll be like, all right, do I want to like focus on like boosts? Do I want to focus on just like, yeah. Cause you don't, you never really get, you never really got that in Mario cart.
00:24:44
Speaker
It's usually like pretty basic. Like you just go by weight and like, It's like, do you want to be able to accelerate faster or do you want to have a higher top speed? Like that's basically all it is with Mario Kart. It's always been like that.
00:24:58
Speaker
And like the kart customization real neat. It's it's i' not put one it's not put once one fucking... ah Montana sticker on your on your motorcycle and that's it. That's all you have to do. This one, like you could like fully like sticker up your car. You could split a cart in half so you'll have like the front of one car and then the back of another car. It's actually kind of cool. It's kind of neat. yeah um yeah Borderlands update. um so After a reboot and more loading and the longest ah was a resurrection tube
00:25:33
Speaker
I guess that's what you would call it in Borderlands. um I am playing it. Now, with no enemies anywhere, it's not too bad. Like, they've they've ironed out some of the kinks.
00:25:46
Speaker
But I am going to try to bring in, like, a horde. And I'm going to see what happens. Yeah, get in your standard Borderlands battle. You're just going to break your system. Yeah, just smoke. That's all you're going to do. All right. I'm in a horde right now They should be coming.
00:26:04
Speaker
Okay. down that good it is Sounds like it's fixed. It's... You've got to put the thing on, Chris.
00:26:16
Speaker
I'm curious to see... thing? What thing? the um Oh, but the tracker for your... frame counter, yeah. Oh, it's it's going in the toilet right now. oh no.
00:26:28
Speaker
Right off the bat, brah. Oh, ooh. Okay. Tough. lot of people. Doing some work. I'm doing some work.
00:26:41
Speaker
Chris, if you hit the dot, dot, dot button and then go to um the lightning bolt,
00:26:50
Speaker
can just do it right here. Hold on. I am in the mix. It's not as bad as it was. I will say that. But I need to know if it says 15 frames, then it is bad as it was, Chris. All right. So where is the frame counter? All right. So hit dot, dot, dot, the dot, dot, dot button under the the right trackpad and then go down to the lightning bolt and then overlay level. Just do level one.
00:27:16
Speaker
And that should just show you the frames on the top corner. level one uh okay i'm at eight frames let's see oh my god there it is five nine frames okay nine ten yeah like it's like i would say like anything under anything basically anything under 30 is like um unplayable i think Yeah. It's probably like super choppy, right? It's like not even like... It is choppy.
00:27:47
Speaker
It's not as bad as it was, though. I will say that. So it was worse than fucking 8 frames? It was worse, yes. It was worse than 8 frames second? That's wild. Y'all were looking at a slideshow. That makes me mad that you even thought that was a good idea to buy on Steam Deck.
00:28:03
Speaker
I have to see. I feel like, wait, I really... i if Am I wrong where Chris was like, No, my one coworker told me works. Yeah, I wanted to be like, who? You guys gaslight me. Yeah, because I was like... Well, listen, i heard I heard it ran worse on the PlayStation 5. Dude, eight frames, i don't know, man. That's what I read.
00:28:25
Speaker
So I was also not really into getting it for that either. Yeah, it's just, damn. Gotta buy it Gotta buy it now and see. Yeah, gotta buy it and see that it clearly runs higher than eight frames.
00:28:38
Speaker
I'm at nine, baby. I'm at nine. Yeah. I mean, I'm just going by just power in general, right? I'm at six. Jesus Christ. I mean, I feel like i feel like the PlayStation wouldn't even they would they wouldn't even run the game. if it Yeah, they wouldn't have run it. They would cyberpunk you. they would They would let you refund it. Yeah, i mean, let's see. Is Borderlands... Well, from what I've heard about the PlayStation 5 edition, it's not the frame rate, it's the crashes.
00:29:05
Speaker
Yeah. yeah like It was crashing more. And i you know like I thought, hey, crashes are worse if they're happening all the time. so it yeah It just seems like it's just not fixed yet.
00:29:21
Speaker
Well, duh. Wait, hold on. read this before you play borderland impacts this came out day well the okay so the rena is The good thing is, Chris, if you do end up, and you probably were leaning towards this anyway, if you end up getting a ah PC later on, like you'll be able to just like play it. Yeah, that is true. ah know You won't have to worry about half having to have PlayStation. You just gotta make that little investment to Papa Papa Trump?
00:29:53
Speaker
Just gotta pay him his graphics card money. I don't know if it works that way, but... We'll see. I think I'm done. Yeah, no. I'm done here.
00:30:06
Speaker
Wait, can we go try? Because I don't think we really dug into this. So it seems like Ghost of Yote is ah about, I think on OpenCritic, they're both 88s on meta. They're like 87 88, right? about as good.
00:30:24
Speaker
so about as good But you guys are going like, eh, not good enough. No, no, that's the thing. like it's I love and Ghost of Tsushima. Yeah, listen, I loved Ghost of Tsushima, or I liked Ghost of Tsushima a lot.
00:30:38
Speaker
But at the time, and even still today, people are trying to say that that's the best game ah of of like that PlayStation ever put out. And I think that's a mean fucking laughable. Yeah, that's just the falsity. that's Yeah, like it's not even like...
00:30:53
Speaker
Yeah, people gas that up quite bit. They gas that game up quite a bit. like yeah Yeah, they gas it up. like they It's like the meme of the guy holding the fucking gasoline tank next to a fucking bicycle. like It's like, and I don't know if this was just trying to add to the hate campaign against Last of Us 2 when that came out, but people were really like up in arms that Ghost of Tsushima wasn't nominated for Game of the Year that year and and Last of Us 2 won. They thought that they were even comparable, and I didn't think they were.
00:31:23
Speaker
And again, I'm not saying that Tsushima wasn't, like, a game of the year type contender, because it is definitely a AAA game. It was a AAA experience. Yeah, but Last of Us 2 was special. Yeah, it wasn't even close. Like, it wasn't even, it didn't even hold a candle to Last Us Part 2. Like, it's not even, you know, like, I don't know.
00:31:40
Speaker
So, like, that that makes me think that the game is already overrated, and the fact that it can't even, then I gotta know this this sounds, like, so lame and weird and stupid, but, like, fact that it can it can barely just hit the fucking high 80s on the aggregate ratings. like it's yeah I also i you can have but i have a feeling about Ghost of Tsushima as well. i Woke of Yote? is what i what i see When I see that game, i see Mad Max.
00:32:10
Speaker
Like that game that came out. But wait way less fun for me. Less fun than... The Mad Max game, I fucking love that game. And it's basically the same exact at like gameplay where you're taking bases, you but you also get like a cool-ass car and you can like rip other cars apart.
00:32:30
Speaker
There's all these other elements to it. i It's very similar. And i those games, I'm i'm just not... I'm never really one of them. Yeah, it's an open-world game. it seems like more of a...
00:32:42
Speaker
They're like, hey, we just took... It's kind of like a Sonic Razor, right? We took what really worked and we just made it like better. We didn't try to make experiment. I guess that is true.
00:32:53
Speaker
that's where that That's what it does seem like. But like I just don't want to... that But also, it's like... They don't get enough criticism for this either. And maybe it's just because I'm a fucking weirdo.
00:33:06
Speaker
But the fact that they had... Just people in general. like okay the The gaming community. Because Sucker Punch Studios is a Western game developer, right? They're from the States. Yeah. Yeah. The fact that they had the audacity to put a Kurosawa mode in the game, right?
00:33:23
Speaker
Make it black and white, make the frame tighter, right? Make it like whatever it was, add weird effects to to it, like grain and stuff. But they didn't even have like native Japanese voice animation,
00:33:38
Speaker
It's just absolutely fucking boils my blood. They needed a program to do that. And there were times, and don't even know what the correct pronunciation is. I believe it is Ghost of Tsushima, right?
00:33:50
Speaker
like Yeah, Tsushima. There were times in the dialogue where Jin Takai was saying Tsushima, and I'm just like, what? Is that how you say it? Yeah, I think that is, though.
00:34:05
Speaker
is that how Is that just how the white people that made the game, how they thought that it sounded? Let me see. i like to think I'd like to think they got that part right. oh yeah Okay, here, here, here. I'll just do this. Sound it out.
00:34:23
Speaker
You tell me what this what this says. tell me Tell me if that says Tatsushima, because it's not. Tatsushima. ah sushima Wait, it sounds like... Oh, this is a screenshot.
00:34:36
Speaker
Yeah, it's just a screenshot. I mean, you can Google it, but it doesn't say Tsushima like the actual main character says.
00:34:48
Speaker
Does he say that? and Because now now we have to look it up. Yeah, but now we have to look it up, right? Like... so suhi Ghosts of Tsushima. i just I just really like the combat in that game.
00:35:01
Speaker
Tsushima.
00:35:03
Speaker
yeah mean I guess that kind of what getting at. In terms of me, like I'm going to ins instant buy because I really liked the first one. And this was the one I've been kind of like waiting on for a little bit.
00:35:15
Speaker
you know i mean, John, i get why, because you just went from one thing and now you're into Silk Song. Yeah, yeah, yeah. yeah now Yeah, yeah, yeah. For sure. You don't need to stop what you're doing and play it.
00:35:28
Speaker
i yeah I got Silent Hill F here. I haven't even touched yet. play You didn't finish your other dinner. Your Silent Hill dinner. How fucking dare Finish the original. I'm just saying, dog.
00:35:42
Speaker
This motherfucker has owned Claire Obscure for several months now. yeah I'm working on it, right? I finally got ah i got Cyberpunk. i'm I'm working on it. and We can sit here what we can point out all of our lapses.
00:35:57
Speaker
devins Devin's going through his his backlog. He's in 2020 at the moment. yeah one where hey Yeah. Hey, how's that guy to War Ragnarok playthrough going, Steve? How's that Spider-Man 2 playthrough going?
00:36:08
Speaker
I'm waiting for Wolverine. yeah I'm going to wait for the spinoff. waiting for Wolverine. This is apparently song this woke Wolverine game, according to you. Woke-vereen?
00:36:21
Speaker
i will Dude, on this YouTube video, I fucking posted this shit talk. The funny thing is, is John sent me a Twitter link of some guy complaining almost the opposite.
00:36:34
Speaker
He's like, it's too violent. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. That's not just some guy That's Dark Side Phil. Yeah, Dark Side Phil. That's not just some random guy on the internet, Devon.
00:36:46
Speaker
That's fucking DSP, bro. Yeah, dude. DSP said it was too violent. He jacked off in front of a what webcam. Accidentally. Accidentally. Yeah. All right.
00:36:58
Speaker
He didn't even know until he was finished. And he went, what? why are you Why am I getting i getting donations?
00:37:08
Speaker
Oh, yikes, dude. Anyway. Yeah, that guy yeah the guy said it was too violent. Which is... He said Wolverine was never that violent, he said, or something. Wolverine, the comic character. the cop He says it like doesn't... See, this is the thing. So John said, is this a bad take?
00:37:25
Speaker
And I will admit, John, i was i pretty inebriated at the time on substances. So I watched it, and then I was like, yeah, it's like on the surface level, it's a bad take, right? it's It's a guy complaining that the Wolverine video game is too violent.
00:37:44
Speaker
But then I'm like, this might be like a galaxy brain take. Because what he's getting at, what I think he's getting at, is that it doesn't make sense that the character of Wolverine... But he's that violent in this stage. Is that violent in this stage of his life. He's just going and ripping arms and legs off and stuff like that. you think he'd be more violent early on or later?
00:38:06
Speaker
Yeah, well, he's saying yeah he like, this would make sense if this was like post-Weapon X. Oh, like wilderness, but, but he's, Oh yeah. The visceralness of him, like chopping humans up.
00:38:17
Speaker
Right. Well, he goes out as berserker rages, dude. That's a thing. Right. Right. But he said, yeah, but he's saying that's like a berserker rage. That's a moment, right? That's when he loses it and just cuts up. you know, everybody in the room. and Wait, so is this game supposed to take place before Weapon X? No, right? No, no, because he has the cause. He has the cause.
00:38:34
Speaker
No, I think what he's saying is if the the critique is, is if this is taking place in like, this is just one of Wolverine's many side gigs, ah you know, while he's an X-Men, while he's, you know, an Avenger,
00:38:46
Speaker
In a way, it doesn't make sense that he's just going this hard, this constant. But that's also just forgetting that we're playing a video game. you know It's like complaining that Drake kills too many guys.
00:38:58
Speaker
and you're also about What am I supposed to do in an unspeakable game? There's no context to this. There's no context. We don't know. yeah We don't know yeah oh we don't know what the plot is. we don't know yeah we don't know what yeah They could have killed baby or kidnapped his son but i mean we just at the end of the day like john wick you know we're playing a video game where we're wolverine like it's gonna be 90 combat dude it's it's just a game it's we're playing a video game where he the thing is the spider-man games aren't this violent right they they weren't rated no no but spider-man's constant like combat is such a big portion of that game and to their credit there are sections where spider-man's or uh you know he's doing parker things he's like in the lab doing science stuff
00:39:40
Speaker
there absolutely it's not to say that wolverine won't have those it's like why would you show me fucking wolverine in a lab not a but like i don't know how he's just doing and stuff and i can't even read but also dude it's a different type of game it's not an open world game as far as i can tell what makes you think that there isn't some sort of side job like what if he bartends like yeah hatch He does go to the bar. and like That's the thing.
00:40:06
Speaker
But it's also like, is that what you want to show in your first like real showcase? Just him doing like the quote-unquote boring shit? To be fair, I'd be into that. like i'm not and there I'm not trolling you. like If they showed off the technology of like facial expressions and like, you know...
00:40:26
Speaker
Like interesting dialogue. a bartender scene. Make it like Red Dead 2, baby. That's what I'm saying. You're telling me that wouldn't be interesting. Because the other thing is like... Not for the first trailer where you're fighting. Devin's right.
00:40:41
Speaker
But the thing is, like, we already know it's a Wolverine game. We're going fucking shredding people. Like, why don't you show some cool stuff? Like, him going fishing with Hosea and Dutch. Yeah, yeah, yeah. There we go. Is that any of the trailers for Red Dead? No, it wasn't. It kind of was in the beginning.
00:41:00
Speaker
Yeah, it kind of. John, john two i think you're going to get it. You got some money for me, boy! like that's That's the first trailer we got for Red Dead. The first Red Dead 2 trailer was literally just wilderness shit. like It was just showing environments. like that's Right, right, right. Technically, the first thing is just Wolverine. it wasn't over this pop yeah but like the Imagine if the first trailer for Red Dead 2 was Arthur just blowing arms off people with his six-shooter. You're talking about two very different things. But also, i'm just saying the argument was, before this, was
00:41:33
Speaker
oh, are they going to make it pilot? Like, is it going to be... That was one of the big questions. So this is how they answer that question. I think they answer that, yeah, immediately.
00:41:43
Speaker
Because... yeah I mean, the there's another easier way to answer it, too, is just say that it's M-rated. No, but dude, you want to fucking see it, dude. I think there is something to showing the spectacle in the beginning for that first trailer.
00:41:57
Speaker
That could be a great trailer, 2, 3, whatever, gameplay, like, yeah. like I think you should, though. There should be some dimension to this game. Well, if they go by the spoilers that I read, there's going to be a lot of dimension in this one. What does that mean? I don't know. I'm not saying what read. As far as was the leaker. I'm not saying what I read.
00:42:19
Speaker
There's, like, one clip from this trailer where Wolverine is, like, actively, just repeatedly stabbing a man. yeah And I'm like, like yeah like this is this checks out. This this is the sizzle reel. This the sizzle, baby. Like, that's the thing, though. Like, I think I was, like, I mean, again, I'm not a Wolverine guy, right?
00:42:38
Speaker
When's you gonna do math lessons? It's not that, but, like like, I walked away from this trailer being, like, oh, man, that was actually, like, pretty fucking gruesome.
00:42:48
Speaker
Like that's kind of, that's kind of crazy. Yeah. And I guess they answered that question. So hopefully the next trailer is, you know, him softer side, him going to the bathroom. I mean, flush it I think in a big, him him cooking, uh, him kicking cooking any easy over egg in the morning.
00:43:06
Speaker
Yeah. That would be ah so fucking funny if there was a mini game of just him making like a balanced breakfast. Why not? Plunging a toilet. i mean it Not too much toast.
00:43:17
Speaker
but was this this wasn't a This was just a reveal, right? it's not There wasn't gameplay in this. i mean Yeah, this is the first time we saw it, right? There was, yeah. this game well now This is the second time we saw it after the teaser.
00:43:28
Speaker
Oh, I thought you were going say the leak. Yeah. but yeah like guess is the does that last ah that That last of us 2 gameplay trailer was pretty gruesome too. like Yeah, I mean, like it's not like, hey, here's 10 minutes of him walking through a level, but like in this footage, like there's 100% gameplay.
00:43:46
Speaker
Context is king. Him riding around the motorcycle. You know what Controversial take. I think the motorcycle in the Wolverine game looks was a little bit more of an exciting thing than the Metroid 4 one. Oh my god. Way better motorcycle, dude. Yeah.
00:44:01
Speaker
His Wolverine's on it. Does it i have a name, though? Does his motorcycle have a name? But here's the thing. I do think the person who's editing the Metroid Prime 4 trailers... Hates Metroid. Hates Metroid.
00:44:13
Speaker
i'm I'm one of these believers. Because they keep making these like very like very slow, dull trailers. And I'm like, I've seen Metroid Prime. You're going to find out the editor's Miyamoto, right? And he's just like, why why would we...
00:44:27
Speaker
I hate story. Make it slower. Fucking make it, make it slower. Yeah. Well, like when Sam is going to go, go to Tahiti. we The thing that I really liked about this Wolverine trailer though, is like, you see that he's fighting like Maraud or the, the, the robot guys, right. That were, yeah.
00:44:49
Speaker
uh you know like probably killing and enslaving children and i was like ah is that what they're gonna do you know he's gonna be beating up cyborgs but then he cuts that guy's leg off and then stabs him through the face i mean and i was like yeah oh yeah never mind this is sick i i'm in um i'm in pretty deep i got pretty i just got worked up thinking about the screenshots i'm gonna be taking is that next year that's next year right that yeah fall 2026
00:45:14
Speaker
Devin, you're going to be 40. Shit. So this is like... So we got like... um Oh, yeah.
00:45:25
Speaker
Wait, we're not all going to be playing GTA 6 still? I thought that game's a forever game. Oh, when does that come out? That's May, right? Is that May? Yeah, sorry, Gavin. I'm going to be playing Grand Theft Auto. Still? Still? Sorry, new packs dropped.
00:45:38
Speaker
Yeah, it's not to be another game we're ever going to want to play. I'm just going to... You know what? I want that watch. I want what that Galani watch. Hey, I'm just trying to see if this runs on my Steam Deck. At least re Resident Evil comes out in February, right? so Yes, you'll be able to have it. that confirmed or is that just...
00:45:56
Speaker
Bro, are you who are you talking to? It's fucking Capcom. Yeah, you're talking to greedy fucking Capcom. Greed mongrel. They were like, hey, hey Nintendo, that's greedy. Hold my beer. Let me show you what greed actually can look like. Greed from the fucking Bible.
00:46:10
Speaker
Like, because that's what Capcom is doing. What did they do? Oh, I guess they should provide context. Dude, they're making you pay to watch fucking Capcom Cup. It's a pay-per-view. Oh, my God. What?
00:46:23
Speaker
And it's fucking $40 to watch it. Wait, to be fair, is that cop Capcom or is that more Sony? This is Capcom Cup. Oh, yeah, never mind. This is their event.
00:46:35
Speaker
This is the million dollars. Sony doesn't own Evo anymore, I think. They sold it to the fucking Saudis or some bullshit. Anyway. Yeah, so Capcom's like, usually, this is like ah that this is a normal thing in Japan when they do like Street Fighter League in Japan.
00:46:49
Speaker
But the fact that they're charging you now... The fact that they're charging us $40 to watch the whole event, which is like, I think a week long, it's a week long event. So you have to pay $40 to have access to it.
00:47:01
Speaker
And then you have to stay up until four in the morning. Cause it takes place in China. ew. Yeah. It's disgusting. Ew. So they're, they're like, Oh, it's $40 and it's fucking, and it'll be free after a week.
00:47:14
Speaker
So everyone's like really, everyone's really grumpy and stinky about it right now. have any state We staying up, John. Yeah. I'm not staying up for that. i mean, I usually stay up. I usually try to stay up, and then, like, you know, i usually just doze off.
00:47:28
Speaker
But, like... It's impossible. Come on, spend your $4. Yeah, I'm not gonna... Yeah, I'm not gonna... I'm not gonna spend money doze off. Like... And it's not even worth it. Like it's worth it watch. I was getting sleepy watching UFC fights. Cause they go into like one o'clock in the morning. Yeah.
00:47:46
Speaker
Imagine watching, imagine you're watching your favorite character in the corner, getting throw looped by Ken five, six times in a row at 3. And you're like, Oh, I paid $40 for this. Like I could be, fuck that dude. Yeah. I'm,
00:48:02
Speaker
So it sucks because I make it a thing. like you know I make it ah a point to watch Capcom Cup every year the last few years. But it's like, no, I'm not going watch it live, and it sucks. that's but That's what corporate fucking Bible greed is, guys. all right that's what They wrote about that shit in the Bible, this type of greed.
00:48:24
Speaker
so yeah They're the money changers in the temple. But hey, man. In other Capcom news, IGN fucking blew the blue the beans. Is that the that what they said? They spilled the beans?
00:48:34
Speaker
No, they blew the beans off. They blew them everywhere. Oh yeah, February 2026. Leon has hair. And it looks really good. I'm telling you, man. That eye patch is real. leon oh yeah february twenty seventh twenty twenty six leon has hair and it looks really good if i'm telling you man that eyepaches Devin's still a believer. still You still on that? You still on that? I'd be so upset if they just were like, yeah, Leon lost an eye. I'd be like, no, no, no. You you know, that's endgame stuff.
00:49:04
Speaker
I mean, i kind of like figured, I kind of figured Leon is going to be in the game anyway, just because they kept teasing that he's like, they kept mentioning him by name and it's like well why we put leon in the game but why is he missing an eye like why would he be missing an eye oh dude it makes perfect no no i don't think that i know that i the eye patch thing is fucking super fake dude yeah i knew that was ai but i swear why are we bringing it up because this is devin's fucking wet dream devin's fucking devin's bird devin just devin just wants to watch me fucking squirm if it's if it's real like that's why yeah
00:49:37
Speaker
wants me i would I would be upset if Leon had lost a part of... You'd be upset if he was cool looking? okay You don't have to be upset because it's not fucking real. That's not his thing. That's not his thing.
00:49:49
Speaker
Chris Redfield can lose eye. When he's in Resident Evil mech and it's cool. It's beautiful. If he's in a mech suit, you're covering up his fucking beauty. God damn, man. You're slapping fucking shit casserole on top of eyepatch wouldn't bother me.
00:50:05
Speaker
would make What would actually make me mad is if like if they made if they made Leon somehow the fucking anti-antagonist and you have to him. That would actually write i actually... I actually might not even get the fucking... Hold hold on, hold on. secret heel Would it be if he actually is the antagonist or if they do the thing that they did in RE8 where it's like you think he is?
00:50:27
Speaker
where you oh You see that he shoots Grace Ashkos' mom in the face. No. With his sexy sweater. He blows your mom away. He's suplexed her.
00:50:42
Speaker
But that would be kind of formulaic and and stupid if i mean yeah they did the same thing with Chris. He's not going to be a bad guy. No, no, I want to be able to control him, and I want to do it with that eye patch. through They did not have a third-person mode for shits and giggles, dude.
00:51:01
Speaker
They want you third-person. Yeah, you need third-person. fucking newde that i Can I tell you, that that still kind of bothers me, that that you can switch in the game. Like, that kind of bothers me. I don't like it.
00:51:14
Speaker
Because it's not like, it's like, I really wish you guys just like, like yeah like i feel like and Yeah, I feel like you have a half-assed, non-optimal version of or either one, as opposed to just a game that's designed i one perspective, and it's supposed to be that way.
00:51:31
Speaker
I would agree with you. This is coming from ah this deal from a first-person hater. It was anybody other than these, because they've shown, they're like, well, we know how to make a Resident Evil game in first person, we know how to make it in third.
00:51:45
Speaker
Here's a game where we swap out. Here's my counter to that. was anybody else, I'd be concerned. Yeah, but here's my counter to that. If this was going to be a big feature in your game, then why not hotkey it?
00:51:57
Speaker
Why not make it like the fucking touchpad button? you know like why Why do we have to go into a menu and remove ourselves from from the environment i and then switch? I would argue two things. One, it could be a tech thing.
00:52:10
Speaker
Like they just can't swap it like that, that quickly. It's already not optimal then. It's already shit. Or two, it's, it could be a thing where- Two, they're going to do it anyway. They're going to do it. No, no. Like what if you're panicking and all of a sudden, you know, it's, it's keto button and you keep fucking accidentally hitting the button.
00:52:26
Speaker
ah Then you fucking get good. Like, Chris, Chris, what happens if you... No, no, no, no. I'm to give him a whole button just so it I can do this. but like what what Chris, what happens if you fucking panic in a Dark Souls boss and you start hitting dodge by accident? You fucking die and then you learn and you figure it out. That's what happens. Hey, hey, hey, to be fair, by that logic, if you're spending 40 bucks on Capcom Cup and you're falling asleep, that's good.
00:52:55
Speaker
yeah Yeah, get good, John. Get good. That's <unk>s not cocaine, dude. It's not fair. Yeah, get yourself some out of the You're telling my wallet to get good. You're telling my wallet to get good. You're telling wallet get You're telling my wallet to get good. You're telling my wallet to get good at that point. Seriously, like – I mean, it doesn't have to be touchpad button. It could be any other... like It could be like R1L1 or something. So I gotta give up a main button for this? Like, dude... There's buttons that you don't use. Here's my counter to that.
00:53:27
Speaker
every Every game that has a a quick button to go from first to third, one of those modes was compromised. That's what I'm saying. I'm thinking Bethesda. I'm thinking... like i'm sure sorry well not no you're I agree with you. I agree. Because every other time we've seen it, it's been shit.
00:53:47
Speaker
i' But I'm saying, if there's one company that I would actually have faith in actually doing it and making it work. i didn yeah but look But look how bad this looks. This is like their selling point feature of the game that they're showboating to everybody right now.
00:54:01
Speaker
But you have to hit start. You gotta pause the game. You have to go into a menu that goes to camera, and then you've got to go Yeah, why you in that often? You know, just fucking you pick one and go.
00:54:12
Speaker
What if you want to look at something I'm close to having? Well, then don't let you do it on the fly then. You know, I hope with my PS3. I'm not going to PS3. PS3? What the hell? fucking I'm sorry I'm sorry I was looking at the stacks for it's gonna loading his Vulcan shaders the while we're while we're in chapter five of the game so I was looking up the specs my bad um no but maybe maybe my pro controller can I can hotkey it wouldn't that be cute no no you can't because that those buttons have to be mapped to a button that's already on the game or on the controller
00:54:47
Speaker
No, but there's going to be buttons. There could be buttons. It could be a button combination. This is Capcom we're talking about. So i got to do a fucking Hadouken? You know the game's going to ask you in the very beginning. But it could be like, you know, hit R1 and L1 together at the same time something. I don't know, Leave it for the real things have Are you saying that they should have just they should have just made the directorial decision to be like, you play this game in this point of view,
00:55:17
Speaker
yeah then make it so you can ba it so no make then At that point, make it that you have you have to switch out in the save room then. like why do you have to why do you have to go like The fact that you have to go into the pause game and remove yourself from the environment to do this feature is like is like anti-Resident Evil 101, in my opinion.
00:55:36
Speaker
Because you're literally, like, how often have you paused the game? Constantly. Constantly. No, no, no. I'm not talking, no, I'm not. Constantly going to do an inventory screen. Yeah, no, that's that's different. That's your inventory screen. How many how often have you start to change to change ah change your sound volume and your your' fucking, other shit? You're not doing that.
00:55:55
Speaker
um with This is literally, this is literally just a, this is a quote, quote, feature of the game. Like, they should make it part of the game, you know? I kind of think it it lacks commitment.
00:56:06
Speaker
a that yeah um I mean, that's that's that's why I stand to it. You're not going to get an optimized version of either one. You're going to get right you're gonna get like a fucking medium cooked fucking experience. I expect you to pass on it in the Fantasy Critic next year.
00:56:23
Speaker
i don't expect you to actually select it because you'll think it's a bad game. this is ah This is the Resident Evil 8 and 7 team, right? Like...
00:56:33
Speaker
rock yeah they even have separate teams anymore don't know who knows because like the resident evil 2 and resident evil 4 team like that's that's their god squad they bust them out when you know they're making one making art da division one is the is the re2 and re4 remake teams okay re re7 and re8 were also made by div one But Div 1, oh my god. See, this is so ridiculous. Why can't you just make it? Mikami made this game.
00:57:08
Speaker
okay At the end of the day, too, it's like they're just... they're mixing action too. Right. They're like, you jump on this. Oh yeah. We need to pull the guys because fuck it. I think you need a barf guy. You got to come over. Yeah. Get the barf team.
00:57:23
Speaker
We need those three guys. More barf guys. We just don't have enough. They've been focusing on the first person stuff for, you know, the seven, eight and now nine. But the thing is, I think eight gold edition proved to them that, you know, they saw the sales when they announced that there was a third person mode. So I think that was half ass. you know yeah no it didn't feel right in eight like you know what like you know what's better to me because that was better yeah yeah what's better to me is play as grace in first person and then when you play as leon it's third person no agree because because no no because it makes more sense like inside the game that you're gonna be well like leon's gonna be well more attuned to his environment and way more uh skilled not whereas
00:58:10
Speaker
Whereas Grace is going to be scared and she has to be in first person. Why can't we have that game, Chris? John, that game comes out and the first thing everyone would say oh, I wish there was a mode where you could swap it. Nobody said that in Resident Evil 8 when you were in third person for Chris Redfield. They dropped the ball for that. It was built directly from the ground up to be a first person game.
00:58:39
Speaker
It was built from the ground up to to mate to have an excuse to make assets for Resident Evil 4. Yeah, exactly. that's what I understand that, but I'm just saying, like if they do do like imagine if that was the scenario.
00:58:51
Speaker
Oh, yeah, Grace is auto first person, Leon's auto third. the the I'd be playing I'm like, oh, wouldn't it be so cool if I could just swap that? But then you know when you're in the game, you know what your limitations are in the game.
00:59:08
Speaker
Because you're playing as as a character with limitations when you're playing his grace. And make that a first game unlockable, too. I think it's going be fine. So we got to hide this shit? Just let me fucking play my game the way I want to.
00:59:20
Speaker
No, I think it's stupid. And they even said it they even said it themselves in in interviews that they think it's scarier and harder when you're in first person. yeah So it's like, then make it like that. like I don't understand why.
00:59:33
Speaker
you know and And again, this is coming from somebody who doesn't think... I think it's sacrilegious to make Resident Evil games in first person anyway. Yeah, I still so that like seven So that being said, what are you going to do when you play nine?
00:59:47
Speaker
Are you going to put it in third person are you going to put it Probably, i don't know. I don't want to... i don't You're to be falling down a lot more. this Well, that's the thing. Is this why you're so upset because you yourself don't know how you're going handle this?
01:00:00
Speaker
Because my brain is not ready to make the decision. Yeah, like maybe, maybe. But because that's what – like the thing is, is like in Resident Evil, you're supposed to be limited.
01:00:13
Speaker
Like you're not supposed to have this much freedom. And I feel like if they put it in there, right – then like this is what I'm thinking right now. like This is a fucking strategy in Destiny 2 multiplayer where you do three-peaking, right?
01:00:29
Speaker
where you so Where you switch to your heavy weapon. They decide data to take this out because like when you're in a firefight and you're behind cover and it's one-on-one situation, you could switch to your heavy weapon and then get in the third-person mode and look around a corner and see where somebody is.
01:00:45
Speaker
like that like I'm thinking like that, and I'm like, why even have even have that option if the game wasn't designed that way is my is my question you know like i just think it's i think they ran out of again this is just fucking this is negative john again that's shitting on another new resident evil game but like i think they ran out of fucking gimmicks to sell a game because they already put seven and eight in first person and now they needed something they needed something to to sell the game as as something revolutionary again like like
01:01:20
Speaker
Like we talked earlier about Mario Kart trying to reinvent the wheel. This is Resident Evil 4 trying to reinvent Resident Evil 4 every fucking time Resident Evil 4 comes out because it's always a good game. It's always good.
01:01:32
Speaker
And it's kind of annoying. Just make a fucking game with Leon and make it a good game. That's all we want. we don't We don't need you to fucking revolutionize video games every time a new Resident Evil comes out. Like one, it's not going to happen.
01:01:46
Speaker
you just make the game because like as as necessary and as much as i like seven and as much as i like eight if they never did first person again i don't think i would have blinked like if nine was for a third person only would be like okay cool yeah because we got we got two we got the the we got the old remake we got that's also my preference though Yeah, but I mean, we got the remakes that, you know, they're all like, we're already playing the last game that we I think the last two games now have been.
01:02:17
Speaker
Right. Did three come out after? No, it was two, three, eight, four, four, four. And now it's nine. I mean, i know I know what you said makes sense, but it still hurt my head. Yeah.
01:02:32
Speaker
I'm looking at the Metacritic scores for the Resident Evil games right now. Remake for 4 93. Remake for 2 is 91. It's too remake for two is a ninety one too Village is an 84.
01:02:45
Speaker
That's actually kind of high. I think it's probably an 80. No way. I think 70. I think 84 is fine for Village because I think these placements all are like kind of... Resident Evil 7 is an 86. Here's my sub-question to that. like Would you have nominated... do you think... ah Slash, would you have nominated Resident Evil 8 for Game of the Year that year?
01:03:11
Speaker
It probably would have been on my short list. Here's my second question. Is Resident Evil 8 better than The Last of Us Part II? is re evil eight better than the last of us part two no Or is it insulting to even fucking say that?
01:03:23
Speaker
It's insulting. All right. That's all got to say. As an 84, that's all I got to say. I think that's the thing. I think I see so many 80s for games that are just about average and fine. Hold on. So by your logic, John, I'm a fucking psychopath. Come on. Let's go. I am a psychopath. I agree with you. Don's the Wolverine right now taking us all on. Yeah.
01:03:44
Speaker
Hold on, wait. When did The Last of Us Part II come out? 2020. 2020. it came out... It didn't come out the same year. Oh, did it come out the same year as Resident Evil? I think so, yeah. i did one Yeah, I played this. It was 2021. Okay. So it...
01:04:03
Speaker
so it No, this is a dig on Ghost of Tsushima and Ghost of Yota. Because those games are around 84. For the argument. For John's argument, though, right let's say they did come out the same year.
01:04:22
Speaker
Just because it's not as good doesn't mean that I don't think it belongs on a short list. okay You know what I mean? If I had to have nominees, RE8 probably would I mean, I'm looking up ah game releases in 2021.
01:04:38
Speaker
Like ghost of Ghost of Tsushima winning Game of the Year, that year would be the equivalent of Crash winning Best Picture times a billion. If that won Game of the Year over Lost in Spartans. I'll be honest, you know what? in 2021, the year ah in twenty twenty one the year r e eight came it takes two A game I have no interest in.
01:05:02
Speaker
And I don't think... What else got nominated that year ah that year? you know what? One game of the year last year that I have no interest in fucking playing ever...
01:05:15
Speaker
fucking Astro Bot and I'm never playing that game and I never will. But we know why. Same thing. right Well then why don't you play it? you know, you play It Takes Two. John, it literally takes two people to play. I cannot play it by myself. You got Jenny?
01:05:31
Speaker
Jenny? What would it be? Some kind of Suicide Squad? ah so i do I do want to play Split Fiction though. Yeah, so Metroid Dread, Psychonauts 2, Deathloop, Ratchet & Clank, It Takes Two.
01:05:45
Speaker
Village. Those were the nominees. That's weird year. Keep in mind, that was following the banger year 2020. no well that mean keep in mind that was following the banngger year of twenty twenty yeah this This was ah next gen year one.
01:05:57
Speaker
but like to me My favorite game of all the games I played is Village. Easily. Easily. In 2021? What games did I play? But I don't know what game I pick. I don't think I pick RE8. Well, like, you're right. like i Devin, you're right. Like, that would... force it no force it No, this was...
01:06:16
Speaker
This is the year Forza Horizon 5 should have won game of the year, and I was upset that it didn't. Dude, they announced Forza Horizon 6, John. Did you see that? Yeah, it's in Japan, I think. in Japan. But is that not by the team?
01:06:28
Speaker
Because that team's working on right? That team's doing Fable. I don't know anything anymore, man. Dude, they keep saying there's a Fable game that's being worked on. it been They've been working on that game since 2014. You're going to get your Fartzes and your Farrables. It's fine, guys. We'll get both.
01:06:42
Speaker
We'll drive around. It's fine. Anyway, I want to get back to yelling about Resident Evil. Yeah. Sorry. No. um but Still. Hey, I don't know. I just feel like John's just unnecessarily. I'm just a hater. You know what? I am on the first person Resident Evil games.
01:06:57
Speaker
You know what has the highest score of all the Resident Evil games? Original Resident Evil 4. i was going to say, yeah, it's for 96. I mean, that's the greatest one. Maybe. fuck Maybe it was. You know, I mean, I'm not.
01:07:09
Speaker
tooting my own dick here, but like that might be still might be one of the best games ever made. Still. Iconic. it's all a short Elite. It's on the short list. It changed gaming. It changed gaming forever. Changed forever. changed Actually, you know what was mine? I think, Chris, we you and I, I think, have the same game of the year. Guardians of the Galaxy game. For 2021. Oh, yeah. Do we have a game? Yeah, Chris, Chris, think about 2021 and actually in now saying that you picked a Marvel game to be a game of the year. tell me how you feel it's bad look right now obviously tell me you feel chris okay oh got the anti-fannies right here shit here okay what was mine game of the year chris galani final fantasy 7 remake integrate devin guardians of the galaxy okay john forza horizon 5 steve inscription
01:08:05
Speaker
Wow, no Resident Evil Village. You know what, Steve? I probably would should have picked the description. Well, no, no, but that... You didn't play it at the point, I think. You're right. I didn't play it. No, but game Game of the Year but this be These are the same games that came out.
01:08:21
Speaker
These are the games. These are the same games that came out and the same year Resident Evil Village came out. Yeah, it's 2021. 2021. 2021. The most anticipated for 2022.
01:08:32
Speaker
Chris and Devin both said God of War Ragnarok. but John said a Resident Evil 4 remake trailer. And I said Spider-Man Across the Spider-Verse. good focus across the board who you know some real ones i think i uh i was excited and my excitement was you know diminished i got my trailer i got what i want i pre-ordered my um collector's edition that night screamed at devon because he didn't pick up his phone
01:09:06
Speaker
because i thought it sold out immediately, and i wast I was ready to have a fucking psychotic breakdown and my and my living room over it. And it turns out they just ah they just jumped they just jumped the gun a little bit.
01:09:18
Speaker
That's all. I got mine. 2020? twenty twenty That was the ghost, right? Yeah, yeah. Wait, so 2021 Game the Year? 2020, our Game of the Year's. ah Galani chose role-playing.
01:09:30
Speaker
Yeah, I remember that. remember that. Devin chose Final Fantasy VII Remake. John chose The Last of Us Part two It was an Nintendo game. Whoa, Devin! Animal Crossing. What? That's fair.
01:09:41
Speaker
I really love Final Fantasy VII Remake. Wow. I remember. I remember. You know, I think i I specifically remembered being like, it wasn't fun to talk about Lasso's Part 2. Yeah, it was. all that i remember there I remember when you when we both finished the game, had a phone conversation at like 4 in the morning until like 7 a.m. about it.
01:10:06
Speaker
Did you tell me that wasn't fun to talk about? It was great, but I'm just saying the discourse. Oh, because because of all the fucking leaks. And trying to defend the game from from dumb people. yeah yeah Oh, Devin, best character in 2020, Jin Sakai.
01:10:22
Speaker
Jin Sakai! jinzeki Who's that? Kai. Who is that? I'll with that. Oh. oh John and i both chose Abby, and Chris chose Gaetano Fada.
01:10:36
Speaker
Who?
01:10:39
Speaker
Gaetano Fada. This is actually a good... Chris, who was that? I don't know. You don't know who that is. Fargo. e for fargo Oh, Gaetano. Yeah, I did like him.
01:10:51
Speaker
Wait, was he the... Hold on. He was the big fat Italian guy. That was your character of the year? wait Devin Devin your moment of the year was at the ending of Mandalorian season 2 what happened was that the Luke's title I picked that yeah lu one like yeah look at you you fucking idiot like that that was your moment of the year wow you moron ah this is like we dig up our old ghosts and just each other. Just talk on each other constantly. That's the highlight of that show. that That is where that season could have event that show could have ended with that. and i would like Oh, where fucking they chat GPT'd, created fucking Luke Skywalker and Mark Hamill and had him walk in there?
01:11:35
Speaker
Yes. actually yes i mean but People fucking cried and screamed. Whatever. Disgusting. No. disgust gutato and It was hilarious. He had a box of teeth.
01:11:49
Speaker
It was just funny because Chris was like, I have no idea who that made me. That's pure transparency. Wow, this is crazy. 2020 was a year. Look at this shit, dude.
01:12:00
Speaker
Dude, COVID. week You know what? It was COVID. We could argue that none of it counts because it was COVID. Dude, we can't have our Gas League season. Come on. Gas League, everybody's got one. Every ship has got one. The thing I don't even think I would i really back down from almost any of those picks, but can't hol you can't hold a gun to my head.
01:12:24
Speaker
It's COVID. That's what I'm going to say, no matter what.
01:12:29
Speaker
Interesting.
Impact of COVID on Entertainment Perspectives
01:12:30
Speaker
It changed our minds, changed our perspectives. Everybody got really sick and dumber. it I mean, I don't think... You got dumber, David. the of the year best change Best change for the better.
01:12:43
Speaker
Crush Roy DeGio. I was looking at that, too. He wasn't even that big in this game. He's actually slim. To be fair, in comparison to 7, the 7... Oh, yeah, the end of 7. We all talked about that for a while. I remember that.
01:12:59
Speaker
About Crush Roidfield? Yeah, I remember that quite a bit. I mean, I love Crush Roidfield. Oh, man, biggest fuck-up, CD Projekt Red, CD Projekt Red. Yep. Damn. Yeah, anyway, like this is a good time to to bring these up because we can make that we could make the thing for this year's Anti-Fannies now. That felt like John's work. Yeah, anyway. and you know Well, guys, if we're talking about Anti-Fannies this year to change subjects a little bit, I will say I think I know what my best movie of the year is already.
01:13:29
Speaker
I think we cracked the code. What that? Friday night. yeah Friday night I think the best movie of the year is one battle after another i really really don't think there is going to be anything that beats that one what else is what else supposed to come out this year Frankenstein del Toro's Frankenstein which I think I'm going to like quite a bit probably not going to be the greatest you way are you you what about Tron Aries Tron Aries Morbius is in it Devin what did you say what about the bride The Bride looks... The other Frankenstein movie. Looks stylish. No, I'm with Chris. It looks fake. It looks it looks like a little empty.
01:14:10
Speaker
It looks a little... know what I said? I said... I i said... She's going to be lauded. They're going to say she did a great performance. I I think Chris... Who is she? What is she from? Jesse Buckley? Is that her Jesse Buckley was in... What is she from?
01:14:24
Speaker
I think we should leave. i think I should leave. No, that's the Tim Robinson. Nevermind. She's in men. I know she's the lead in men.
01:14:36
Speaker
um Buckley. Yeah. like you are aware That was it. That's kind of the only one I remember from, but, um,
01:14:48
Speaker
There's only one Bride of Frankenstein that I have in my head, and that's the one from Creature Commandos. I don't want to see any other Bride of Frankenstein. but honestly, I think Christian Bale is going to be like... I think he's in Razzie territory.
01:15:02
Speaker
Yeah, it looks rough, right? I kind agree with you. I just think he's making a choice, and I just don't think the choice is going to land. Because it's weird, because it's like almost like... I mean, it seems like this is where they're going, but they're going like 1930s mobster. i'll be chris that Chris, that Yorgos movie comes out this year, too. Yeah, and I want to talk about Begonia, because that might be a ah good second to... that the Yorgos movie?
01:15:28
Speaker
And then the dieme Die My Love. I will say The Bride gives me Poor Things vibes, but I just think Poor Things is better is going to be better. Like, in every way, shape, or form.
01:15:39
Speaker
I think the performances are going to be better in Poor Things. I think it's going to be... It's a much more substantial film, talking about like the weakness of women at the time and their role in society. like All that stuff's going to be on display, but it's just not going to have the same ah level of substance. And yeah, Begonia, I think that's a close that's probably going to be the closest second film.
01:16:04
Speaker
uh maybe not i think sinners is still yeah i was like let's not ignore sin sinners or sinners is wonderful and i that's like man that was like that was my fucking shoe-in for a movie of the year like i i didn't think anything was gonna top that this was uh i wouldn't say it's a surprise that this is wonderful i mean we all we all love pt anderson movies like i i think but but this is like way different than any other movies I've ever done.
01:16:30
Speaker
I know. Which makes it feel new and fresh too at the same time, you know? It's obviously spent a lot of time on it. It's obvious that the it's more of an action-packed film that he's ever done too um i think but But he didn't overdo – like he didn't the raid Redemption it.
01:16:49
Speaker
Yeah, like you know exactly. It feels more like a thriller. it's not like It's not like they gave him ah an infinite budget and he tried to make the most ridiculous scene to showcase the money spent on it.
01:17:02
Speaker
yeah Which is actually kind of refreshing too. And it was all kind of controlled and it was just like and a directing showcase. Yeah. um just a guy who's been making a guy flexing ah a big buff man flexing his muscles. That's what it felt like, right? Like like flexing his brain muscles.
Film Industry Insights and Awards Speculations
01:17:22
Speaker
Because like because the ah the other main thing is like, like, I mean, I don't want to say he got he in There Will Be Blood, he got carried by Daniel Day-Lewis, but Daniel Day-Lewis is that movie as much as it's P.T. Anderson's movie as well.
01:17:35
Speaker
Whereas this one is just like, and I'm not saying one's better than the other right now, but like this movie is like, he is ah like, his directing as a character and is is the movie. One million percent, yes.
01:17:47
Speaker
Like, he's not he's not leaning on anyone or on any performances for this. this is And that's not even to say there aren't amazing. right Right, right, right. Yeah, there are wonderful.
01:17:58
Speaker
Yeah. Like, Sean Penn's gonna win. Sean Penn's gonna win. Best supporting actor, right? like stuff He's gonna win for this. Oh my god, yeah. You know he's gonna win. hope just... This is gonna be what, his third Oscar?
01:18:10
Speaker
How many answers does he have? Three. His third win. He's third. He wins. I just hope he says thank you and leaves. You know that's not going happen, right? Hey, oh my god, yeah.
01:18:22
Speaker
I mean, you know what? Now I'm just looking forward to it. looking Looking forward to whatever the fuck that guy's going to say. But, um... Yeah, dude. And it's not just Sean Penn. I think...
01:18:34
Speaker
everybody put it in. DiCaprio's great. It's were to Oscar worthy. yeah Regina Hall's great. Fucking Infinity.
01:18:45
Speaker
Tiana Taylor. she's like She's kind of terrifying. Her role. Which is like perfect for that character. i think She's something.
01:18:56
Speaker
She lights up the screen. I really enjoyed her performance. and It's very short, obviously, but um really set the myth of her character Oh, yeah. Yeah, she really pulls like a Morgan Blackhand, right?
01:19:10
Speaker
Yeah. everybody just talk or are Actually, yeah, like a Johnny Silverhand type character. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah. She was a fucking... Yeah, she is bors Johnny Silverhand, dude.
01:19:21
Speaker
She is Johnny Silverhand in this... um yeah i just i can't sing enough it's like it's it's almost as hard it's hard to talk about a great movie other than to just say it's wonderful like i don't like you gotta just see it it's a shit yeah because like you really this is a movie that like you know that yeah yeah i feel like like hollywood and and big big budget directors won't make movie like we won't see movies like this yeah like often or ever i agree you know
01:19:54
Speaker
So this gives me faith that like directors will still like be fucking artists, too. Because this is like just like fucking... He has to win, right? Yeah. there's What other movie can win Best Picture and Best Director? i think Begonia is on the list.
01:20:10
Speaker
I think Sinners is on the list. I do. I really do. think that's definitely going to be in the conversation. No, no. 100%. I think Sinners... But this scott this has to be PT. There's no Coen Brothers fucking psycho movie that came out this year that...
01:20:24
Speaker
to to take it from them? First of all, Coen, brother, and no. Oh, yeah. ah oh wait, yeah, I mean, a Smashing Machine, you think that's gonna get some Oscar boost? You know what's funny? That movie got a shitload of good reviews very early, and now it's starting to kinda level out a bit, where they're like, it's not great, you know, like, it's good with some really great performances, and they are sort of singing the rocks praises but i'm hearing one battles opening at 75 million is that good or no it's pretty good for that type of movie yes almost a three hour i read a movie yeah i mean it's not amazing but it's also kind of shocked by the age of the people that were in the theater with us
01:21:13
Speaker
um I didn't think this would garner a younger audience, but I guess it did. Maybe the Kino freaks were out, dude. Is that a thing anymore? I hope so yeah I hope so.
01:21:24
Speaker
I do, too. I mean, obviously I do, too. i mean like Listen, I talked about this because, you know, I'm me. But, I mean... but i think uh what you call it demon slayer uh was still number one oh were they doing maybe like the barbie um sort of thing where they saw demon slayer and then one last battle no no because like one battle like demon slayer has been out for weeks still no no um okay hold on uh daily weekend
01:21:57
Speaker
Hey, maybe that Demon Slayer movie invigorated a younger audience to see. And I know, Devin, I know we were. What battle did beat Demon Slayer this year. Devin, I know, I know we were shitting on you for like the whole boys night thing last week. But like, I got home and um I was like, Sam, I wish you watched this movie because I think you would love this movie. right now Yeah, like I knew we were. think anybody would enjoy this. movie I didn't know. Like, it's like I talked to one of my friends, too, about he didn't he didn't watch this movie yet. But like.
01:22:27
Speaker
I told him, was like, dude, this movie was fucking incredible. And he was like, he's like, I must hate PT Anderson trailers because I thought the licorice pizza trailer was fucking stupid.
01:22:39
Speaker
But then I watched the movie on a plane and it was actually pretty great. And I actually really liked it a lot. yeah And I'm like, I'm like, I didn't really. and I was like, I didn't really get anything from the trailers from this movie. I just know.
01:22:51
Speaker
I just knew. pt anderson did the movie and dicaprio was in it so i was like yeah i have to see it right like you just this is like you know two people are on the on the on the on the names then you you gotta see it but like i was like i didn't really know much about the movie going in i'm like and now i'm like oh is this better than boogie nights i don't know yeah i like i'm like i mean i haven't made my decision i probably never know i like so many of his movies it's really hard for me to to pick one. But it's so cool that this was like so different than other than the other movies he's done that I've seen. I agree. you know so I agree. It felt like it did obviously felt like him but it also felt like a different version of him. Like he's making these other and it was very heartfelt which to be honest a lot of his movies are not.
01:23:37
Speaker
Like I think Punch Drunk Love maybe the Bastard in a Basket. But most of his other films Bastard in a Basket. If anything like Phantom Threat is an incredible If anything, Adam Fred is an indictment of like normal love.
01:23:54
Speaker
Like what that means. There will be blood. Wasn't a, wasn't a feel good father, son, uh, coming of age story for you. It wasn't a story about a good parent.
01:24:06
Speaker
It had, ah it had a big heart and it also ended on like a really kind of positive note. Like, I think that's a good thing. um Yeah, he's exactly where he is. And it is politically charged, but didn't feel like that was the point of the movie either, which is which is also like why i you know I don't like... I haven't seen many comparisons to Eddington, but I don't think it it fits the comparison to Eddington all. think the one element that I will say is pretty prevalent in it is how terrifying the American military slash police are in this country now.
01:24:43
Speaker
Like, they're just... They're basically like faceless hitmen, you know? Like, it's not... That part of it was pretty apparent and scary.
Themes in Recent Films
01:24:54
Speaker
Yeah. And it made for a really great villain. Like, they were wonderful in that, as a villain. um So, yeah, that that was that was... Well, it definitely wasn't... It definitely didn't take the centrist...
01:25:09
Speaker
take that Eddington took. I even think, to be honest, if you're seeing it a second time, I don't i don't think Eddington was centrist in the least. like it was kind of just like an outsider looking in on on the maximums of of our society. it was active It was a little bit more liberal than people think it is, because especially considering the boogeyman at the end were kind of faceless shadows. Yeah, right. It didn't really... It was more metaphor than anything else, right?
01:25:38
Speaker
Yeah. Like, it's the it was the idea. It's the idea of Antifa. Yeah. That is the villain. yeah this This ghost that's chasing him throughout whole movie, basically, through through his phone.
01:25:50
Speaker
Yeah. there there is um There is a lot of elements that that Eddington shares with this, but I don't think this is – I think this is a more competent film in a lot of ways.
01:26:02
Speaker
And I think it's bigger – it's for a bigger audience, too. Yeah, yeah. That's really what I think it comes down to. Yeah, like, it's not really a sick... Like, Eddington and just Ari Aston movies in general just for the psychotically sick and emotionally devoid people that are scarred. Scarred by the society they live in. Yeah, definitely. Whereas this movie for movie people, think.
01:26:26
Speaker
Yes. And it's really...
01:26:32
Speaker
you know and it's a really It's like The Departed or like, you know. um It's an incredibly – also, I want to point this out. This film is an incredibly paced movie. It is – oh, yeah.
01:26:43
Speaker
So fucking fast. Is there a movie that's better paced than this movie? Like, I'm trying to think of a movie. Wait a minute, man. I mean, Sinners is really well paced. Sinners is good. Yeah. I would say Boogie Nights and There Will Be Blood as well.
01:26:57
Speaker
yeah but i feel like like a lot they're working without vampires and it's almost three hours long and it's moving like there's no point where i'm like looking at my watch oh absolutely that's movie which that i don't deny either that that movie flows pretty smoothly um yeah at least sinners had vamps you know and and irish jigs yeah obviously that's amazing and hailee steinfeld spitting in michael's mouth which is a moment that's a yeah there are things there are certain benefits that sinners is walking in with i just though do think i do like it more yeah this is think this is the best this is that one yeah this is the best movie of the year
01:27:39
Speaker
that's that's the thing like i it's hard for me to say it because i love sinners too but this is a wonderful movie that everybody damn 85 on the popcorn meter though man what the heck where people hate oh withy i wonder i wonder i wonder actually fox news fox the website gave it a positive review and they said they said the following they said If you can ignore the politics, this is a wonderful movie. Oh, of course. Wow, there's a lot of politics in this movie, though. What did they say about Eddington? I'm curious.
01:28:13
Speaker
Oh, that one. they fucked And also, what did CNN cnn probably hated Eddington do? Everybody hated Eddington. Everybody was offended by that movie. Yeah, they they didn't get along it. love it.
01:28:25
Speaker
Which is great. That's the whole point Eddington, right? It's not for them. I still think... i mean i like This is the best movie of the year, but I think Eddington is still like kind of a sleeper pick for me just because of like... Yeah, I mean, that's me in Demon Slayer, I think. It's probably better. Demon Slayer is Eddington.
01:28:45
Speaker
Yeah, it's that yeah definitely this. Did any character in Demon Slayer grab a giant carton full of goldfish and hug it while giving a rant in the middle of a supermarket, Devin? I don't remember that Demon Slayer.
01:28:57
Speaker
There's a guy who gets the head cut off and he just puts it back on. like and that's the same thing. Yeah, that's the same thing. Yeah, it's definitely like this, Sinners, and Eddington, I think, are my top three movies of the year.
01:29:10
Speaker
Yeah. ah Superman maybe is in there, but that's for selfish reasons. Selfish reasons for that. I agree. But i understand. I understand. like yeah Superman iss not goingnna be is not going to be nominated for for Best Picture or anything, so I understand that.
01:29:28
Speaker
But speaking Superman, we search peacemaker a certain character from Superman may have had an appearance.
01:29:38
Speaker
That's right. me show That's right. Rick Flagg, Sr. Oh, yeah. He was. you Oh, man. Yeah. We all watch Peacemaker, right? I've talked a little bit to Devin about it. Devin's still back.
01:29:52
Speaker
It's still a stinky diaper baby ah about Peacemaker. fully stinky. No, I'm just glad we're there. I understand. they now We've been driving to the fireworks factory for five episodes.
01:30:06
Speaker
Yeah, we can say as good of pacing was in one battle after another, the pacing not quite there with the last three episodes of Peacemaker and then think we got to where we wanted to I really, man, I love the vigilante. Dude, this was the vigilante's episode. Dude, that was something, man. I fucking love that so much.
01:30:26
Speaker
So what what do you think going to happen? Do you think one of the vigilantes is going I think the real vigilante might die. And this one is going to be... Yeah, I think maybe.
01:30:39
Speaker
They got two of them now, so they can kill one of them. I think they're going to have sex with each other. Really? Yeah. actually Well, listen, I think that will happen. I hope that happens. That's Chris's thing. I think real vigilante is going to kill other vigilante to save Peacemaker.
01:30:59
Speaker
Yeah. think that's what he's going to I do. And then it's going to be more trauma.
01:31:07
Speaker
Because you need trauma. But yeah, it's like, I'm glad we're here. and um like The Lex stuff was cool, and I'm ready. like ah we're just that we We finally hit the top of the roll. Can we talk about Lex real quick? Yes, yes we need to.
01:31:24
Speaker
have a question for you, John. yeah who were they who were they the dude Who are the dudes that are fucking banging each other? yeah He said one was a gorilla hair. It was a bears a bear skin.
01:31:37
Speaker
with size in I'm thinking that's Killer Croc. Is that Killer Croc? You just ah just say something fucked up.
Speculations and Rumors in Media
01:31:46
Speaker
You don't think you just said, just go with it? Well, that's the thing. The second one is so wild. It's a twink with glowing skin with cartoon eyes.
01:31:56
Speaker
That's Dr. de Phosphorus, right? yeah that gaosphorus Because if you tried to have sex Dr. Phosphorus, you would Your skin would just melt to have sex
01:32:07
Speaker
I don't know who the end could be. I think it was just Nicholas Holt just to say it's a fucking shit. Dude, I'm saying is what is stopping Rick Flagg Sr. from just bringing GI Robot in there to eradicate the entire fucking country?
01:32:20
Speaker
like Because that's what would happen. I mean, right now he doesn't know. He doesn't know. I doesn't know right i want that so bad, though. I want a lot. Actually, i I saw somewhere that James Gunn said they're a live-action GI Robot may appear in something, but it might not be this. Dude, I think that's the thing. He's been fucking lying nonstop. He's just been teasing everybody. He's like, oh, Superman's not going to show up in this. I think Superman's going show up in this.
01:32:47
Speaker
Didn't he also say that do like this the bit, though? Like, there's no season three being planned? He said, wait until the end of this season before we talk about what whether or not there's going to be a season three.
01:32:57
Speaker
I think everybody already predicted a lot of his like plot points for this. and Yeah, so he's just trying to throw everyone off. trying to throw everyone Yeah. I mean, dude, fucking... Because they they said they filmed the Lex scene like the same the same week that they did the ah fucking... um The one scene in Superman with him, which, which was it the office scene or something?
01:33:22
Speaker
They are like drastically different, like Lex's too, which is like kind of, i mean, Nicholas hole is a pro dude. He got paid the most dude prison Lex. He should have been wearing the do rag.
01:33:33
Speaker
and And to be honest, like, I feel like, I feel like Nicholas hole is so good that that's why man of tomorrow. Like that's why he had the idea of doing man of tomorrow because he had to have a movie with,
01:33:44
Speaker
with them is as as co-leads. I think it's that, and seeing the two of them both on the promotional tour for Superman, they've got such a chemistry together. yeah's like it's like Yeah, it's like endless fucking good marketing for whatever they do together. it like like Those two those's two are the... He thought that Rachel Brosnahan was going to be the goon factor, but it's actually those two fucking sizzling hot boys that he got for Superman that are actually making everyone thirsty.
01:34:14
Speaker
and and ah did it did it Was it weird to see Lex just being like R-rated? No, no, just like R-rated. Oh, like saying, dropping F-bombs? Yeah, four of course.
01:34:25
Speaker
It was a little weird for me, I'm not going to lie. It was. Oh, okay, Snyder cult. Not bad. You're like the Snyder cult that are like, oh, and they said Zack Snyder's Lex was too edgy.
01:34:36
Speaker
is that i haven't I haven't even given myself the privilege of looking. well it so You have to look for it. It just it just pops up in my feed all the time. all My feed's been slightly fixed.
01:34:48
Speaker
Yeah, it's just UFC shit and and Space Marines having sex with each other. With no dicks. but That's your feed, Devin? And not knowing what to do. and Not knowing what to do. Because they don't know what they don't know of being horny means. Fuck your ass so hard! i don't what I'm doing!
01:35:05
Speaker
I just want touch you skin to skin on Space Marine. Please. Please. Anywho... um yeah i i did think though this episode sold it really well like everything felt great like all the reveals were really fun like it it felt like energetic where the last ones felt lethargic yeah so whatever like if it did took this long to get there that kind of sucks but it still got there well and executed well yeah so
01:35:40
Speaker
wait so like So, okay, so yeah so Roy said that one of them got out. Does that mean, like, like black people are just, like, imprisoned? and color people color well When did he say one of them got out? said a black got out.
01:35:53
Speaker
When he saw Adebayo walking on the street out of his house. He's like, black one of them got out. And they started following hor that's before everybody started chasing her. Which is, like, terrifying.
01:36:03
Speaker
like that's just ter that was That was horrific. That was, like, right out of Invasion of the Body Snatchers. Yeah. cool oh man yeah somebody else yeah so what what's gonna happen with the economos too because well that's the thing like once he like fucking just dumps all that info into his dad's ear he makes that like face and i think like he's putting it together where he's like he has been acting different yeah crisper which is such a yeah such a cute it's such a cute fucking term of endearment for his
01:36:37
Speaker
his son named Christopher that it's like it's so heartbreaking. I thought the intro scene when they were at like the diner and they were like going to pose for the photo I thought they were going to all see Kyle and that would have been the reveal. ah But then they did that weird face warp thing. i'm not going to lie to that. i didn't I was like is that because he's in the dimension for too long? would Yeah it was like what is this maybe this maybe I'm Although Roy throwing up the W, I was like, oh, that's white power. He's doing some white power shit. Oh, that's not Top Trio? That would have been the, oh, baby's Top Trio. Yeah, I don't know.

01:39:09
Speaker
Can't wait to sleep again. Can't wait to sleep again. That would be a great tagline for a nightmare on Elm Street movie. No. Can't wait to sleep again. No, it's like going to sleep. You meet cool Freddy.
01:39:20
Speaker
And he's really cool. Oh, he's like, yo, you want to get high? Hey. i used to kill people, but I don't do that anymore. Now I just figured. I'm hoping James Gunn puts me in one of the worst projects. Yeah, I'm waiting on his phone call, dude.
01:39:35
Speaker
I've been hanging out the boiler room. but is it Is it me or is it weird that Dave Bautista hasn't shown up in one of these things yet for DC? Are you six early outs? Yeah.
01:39:47
Speaker
Is Big Dave a problem? is Oh, no. don't want to hear that. I don't want to hear that. I don't want to that. I don't think he wants to put a bunch of bullshit on anymore.
01:39:58
Speaker
don't blame him. Well, I mean, what he was up. Like, Peacemaker was made for him, right? That's all. That's confirmed. Sure. And then he couldn't do it because he was doing something else.
01:40:10
Speaker
Who would you cast Big Dave as? Well, I mean, like now? Yeah. I don't know. Flash? Flash? No. Gordon?
01:40:21
Speaker
you want him it if you put him in makeup gets you have The If you put him in makeup again, you're have a dan Savage situation and your what about a man savage What if he shows up at the end of Vandal Savage is too big.
01:40:35
Speaker
It's too big for it to be for him. But that's the thing. Vandal Savage was the leader of Earth-X, right? Like, size? Size-wise, he's too big? Or, like, too big of a role...
01:40:47
Speaker
It's a complicated role, but I think he could do it. okay you mean The Rock can do it, probably. cause you No! we right I think DC's going to stay a little bit away from The Rock after what he did with Black Adam. not getting another shot.
01:41:02
Speaker
he's like Even with an Academy Award, he ain't getting another shot. he's done He's done. I don't think he wants to, right? but don't know. You know what?
01:41:14
Speaker
Maybe he can just be a guy. Let it be a guy. Just in the decent. Let it be a dude. Trying to rent a car. And then Lobo throws throws a car at him.
01:41:26
Speaker
And he's like, hey, that was my car. And that's Dave Bautista. I got another thing I need to talk about. and and Chris, i think I think we might butt heads a little bit on this.
01:41:36
Speaker
Yes. oh The ending to Alien Earth. Well, I saw this. The finale. I'm ready. Go on mute. Tell me when I'm good to go. um mean when i'm when i'm good to go Okay. All right. So i I thought it was pretty great. This was an excellent penultimate episode of Alien.
01:41:56
Speaker
I don't know. i I think I agree with Chris. I really liked how it ended. I thought it was fine. like i Listen, um I don't deny that it felt like there was more to this episode and they may have cut it off.
01:42:09
Speaker
to put into a second season. But I, I don't know, man. Like, I don't see why that's an issue. I think I wanted to see more from all of it. Like I wanted to see the, I do more. I wanted, it i wanted to them to give me something on the same caliber of five for an episode.
01:42:27
Speaker
I get that to a degree, but I also feel like a lot of the story was told Epley, and they knew... Or, uh, Epley. Epley.
01:42:38
Speaker
And they knew that a good cutoff point would be the the Lost Boys escaping prison and becoming their own thing. It's fine, but I know we're gonna have to wait a long time for a season two. Listen, I...
01:42:52
Speaker
It's going to take so long. A lot of people online are having this problem. Like, you guys not like TV anymore? think That's how TV works. No, It doesn't work like that anymore.
01:43:04
Speaker
It doesn't? No, it used to be a year and you're good. I don't know. I mean, there were there were writer strikes. There were situations where we got half the seasons of things.
01:43:16
Speaker
You just can't make, you can't ask everybody to wait three years. for show. and First of all, I don't think it's going to be three years. No, that's fine. I'm just saying in general, right? There's like a lot of shows are like, we'll see you two to three years.
01:43:33
Speaker
And it's like, you can't, not every show can and or should get that. I get the degree yeah dude that not every show will, but I will watch this next season.
01:43:43
Speaker
There's nothing. Oh yeah. 100%. Like that's the thing. Like, keep in mind, this is like still one of my like top shows, if not the top show of this year. I don't think the last episode was the best episode of the show. No, that was episode five.
01:43:56
Speaker
It was hands down. I totally agree with that. But I also don't think this was any less than ah a pretty solid ending to a first season of the show. Like, I think there are shows that we all love that didn't have a first season like this.
01:44:13
Speaker
like i Like, we still love to this day Buffy. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Like, did nothing in its first season. And everything kind of happened in its second. Like, I don't know. ah And you're right. In those days, shows kind of came out a little quicker paced.
01:44:30
Speaker
Mm-hmm. But also, like i'm not I wouldn't say I was disappointed. that I was not disappointed. i Again, I really liked this season ender. It felt appropriate to me.
01:44:44
Speaker
um It's just I'm not looking forward to the wait. that's the thing That's the thing. They gave us ah they gave us like a Halo ending. i get that to a degree but we're gonna finish the fight but there's so much stuff that i have in my life to watch and look forward to like i don't i guess i don't mind waiting a little bit for something great like i if it was mediocre product i would not i would probably not keep watching it it would be right no i agree and my interest would be dead but like
01:45:18
Speaker
i There are a lot of great things that I am looking forward to and I can watch in the interim and be like, when it comes out, be like, great. You know, like that's the way I feel about video games. That's the way I feel about TV shows now.
01:45:32
Speaker
way movies are a little bit more ah let's say let's say consistent where they have a time and they're supposed to come out and usually production doesn't go that far over you know and directors don't take too long i mean look at like yorgos and luca they're both coming out with movies almost like two movies a year right yeah like there's a lot to watch and So to me, I don't mind being patient.
01:45:59
Speaker
I don't. i There's so much stuff that I have in my life to watch, play, read. like I feel like i'm I'm kind of befuddled with riches. That's that's fine.
01:46:14
Speaker
That is fair. But also, i want it now. I'm going to be Veruca Salt. I'm going to stamp my heels. I'm going to say there's a dead body that has a little eye in its head yeah that is wandering around and I want to know what it's going to be up to.
01:46:33
Speaker
all want to know what's going on with that body. That's simple. Timothy Oliphant has milk all over his face right now with his broken back. He's fine. He's fucking exactly where he wants to What a wonderful performance. What a wonderful performance from everybody on this show.
01:46:50
Speaker
That's also, I think that helped too the last episode where you've grown really attached to all these characters, specifically Lost Boys. I started really being kind of annoyed by them in the beginning and now I'm like, fuck yeah, let's go. this one's the one where they realized that they could fucking destroy everybody. Yeah, that was cool. What are you doing? This is way easier.
01:47:15
Speaker
And you know, like my dad and me, we have like a, like a little bit of a discussion after the, the after the show. And they, my dad was like, well, they pretty much like, oh, they proved this old philosophical truth where we are just our memories, you know, like we're not.
01:47:31
Speaker
And I'm like, no, that's not what this show is saying whatsoever. Like there's something missing in the biological middle ground with these hybrids. They're not human.
01:47:42
Speaker
Mm-hmm. You know, like there's something else completely and utterly. And they literally see their dead bodies in graves. And like, that's the moment Hermit was like, what the fuck am I doing? Right. Yeah.
01:47:57
Speaker
My sister is dead. Like, what am I carrying around this weird ghost with me? um So, yeah, like they didn't prove that. Like, this is not it's not right.
01:48:09
Speaker
Like things are wrong. This is not a human human machine hybrid of perfection. And like that's the other issue. I see like a lot of like conversations online delving into like nitpicking about like certain aspects of security and how they built these robots.
01:48:28
Speaker
And I'm like, well, like this isn't a show about how corporations doing everything to optimize the bottom line. That is not what the show is about. This is corporate being so unregulated that corporate we're at the whim of whatever they choose to do, whether that be safe or not.
01:48:48
Speaker
hmm. Like, they they don't have OSHA looking down their backs in Alien Earth. Like, they can do whatever the fuck they want. So we're at the whims of crazy rich people, which, let's be honest, where we are right now. Yes, yes.
01:49:05
Speaker
And that's what the real beauty of the show is. But, like, yeah, like, a lot of the arguments are, like, Oh, that wouldn't be a proper safety protocol in a lab. They don't care. They don't care.
01:49:17
Speaker
They are literally crashing crashing spaceships into Earth to bring home their deliveries. Yeah, dude. Like, no human life and profit. None of that matters. It's just about what can we get away with.
01:49:30
Speaker
a Right? That's what the whole fucking show is about. Like, how far can we push our power on people before they break? It was a fucking ride though, man. Oh my God. was Like I had no no idea what the form of this show was going to be even up until the end.
01:49:50
Speaker
and you know, it's It's definitely up in conversations for like probably best show. I loved it. I'm really happy with it. And I i i will admit the wait's probably going to be pretty long.
01:50:02
Speaker
But I'm fine. I'm fine. And I loved it. These adult actors with fake children memories are going to get older. It's Stranger Things all over again.
01:50:15
Speaker
Oh, I'll just explain it away. I'm really excited to have this conversation about the Harry Potter reboot show next year. like oh when it takes five years in between of seasons? and And the fact that it's inexplicably amazing. And we're like God damn it.
01:50:30
Speaker
I wouldn't know because I'm not going to watch it. Oh, Chris. You're going to watch it. No, I'm not. Chris going to be watching Young Blade with me. Chris is going to find out that Sidney Sweeney is going to be playing Professor McGonagall. He's like, well, now I should give it a shot.

01:52:17
Speaker
TGS, baby! A few fun little reveals and releases. don't see what on It's in the middle. Yeah, it's somewhere in the middle.
01:52:29
Speaker
Let's go! and And we talked about some of it, right? Like the Wolverine trailer. Yeah. came out from Tokyo Game Show. We didn't talk about this, but the OD... So I didn't realize... Oh, yeah. Maybe this is on me. Maybe this is on me. It's PT.
01:52:46
Speaker
It's PT now, right? But I didn't realize OD going to be... So OD, they've essentially revealed, is going to be kind of like a... anthology series where it's like, this is Kojima's OD game. This is going to be Jordan Peele's OD game. Oh. Wait, is it episodic? Is that what you're saying?
01:53:07
Speaker
No. like yeah there's like different Like Creepshow. like there Yeah, yeah, yeah. worry the whole game The whole game is like its own thing. So like OD might be a part of its own thing. Knock, I should say. OD is like the Twilight Zone and then Knock is the episode. there yeah That's fucking cool.
01:53:26
Speaker
And this one is the the one with – what's her name? Sophie Lolis? Is that her name? Yeah, that's her. Yeah. Yeah, that this is Kojima's yeah episode or whatever, and there's going to be different ones, right?
01:53:40
Speaker
Yeah, yeah. Is that what he said? Is that what he said? So is this just glorified Kojima? installment DLCs that we're going to have pay $70 for when it comes out. i mean yeah you're going have to get it with the Kojima credit card that you buy. The Kojima card?
01:53:56
Speaker
Yeah, did you hear about that? Spelled with a K. Kojima card. joe Kojima's getting a credit card or something? Visajima? Hold on. Kojima credit card. Let me look this up. We were joking! No, no.
01:54:12
Speaker
No, it's fine. but he's really No, no, it's not a joke. He literally is coming out with a credit card. Is this not a joke? I thought... Is it just his name on like a regular bank credit card? or So, Kojima's partnering with Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group to launch a new Kojima credit card. Holy shit, what? yeah Why? And UFJ will offer credit cards that will give users points based on spending that they can use. UFC? What? What?
01:54:43
Speaker
M-U-F-G. Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group. It's going to be like ah an actual payment? like It's a credit card that gives users points based on spending that they you use to exchange for merchandise and other goods for Kojima-related items. I don't want that. i don't Why would anyone want that? What?
01:55:02
Speaker
Huh? oh Monster energy drink. Are we still talking about alien? and Like, is this... Alien Earth. Yeah, like, this is very... Kojima's Boy Cavalier, definitely. That's the perfect analog for that. have to have an interesting conversation, guys.
01:55:18
Speaker
That's fucking weird. But also, this I watched the trailer for this. It looks awesome. Yeah, it does. so yeah I thought you meant the trailer for the credit No, didn't watch the trailer for the credit card. Wow, platinum. ah Yeah, yeah it was something I thought was, I don't want to say endearing, but he's like, yeah, Nox terrified me.
01:55:38
Speaker
Like, a loud knock at night, he's like, that is one of the scariest things to me. And this trailer's creepy. what What's it say at the end, too? It's like, off for the the the streamers and screamers or something like that?
01:55:54
Speaker
At the end of it? It's something like that. ah What I also love is, yeah, for all players and screamers. That's what it says. But just, like, the way it starts with, like, the card, the door, and then, like, the text with the blackout text.
01:56:13
Speaker
Like, i This sounds silly, right, considering who we're talking about, but I showed this to Jenny, and she was like, this is like a movie trailer. And I'm like, I know. That's...
01:56:24
Speaker
That's the Kojima thing. That's why it's cool. That's why he's an autist. An auteur. An auteur. That's why he's a Tylenol thing. Yeah, he's a Tylenol.
01:56:39
Speaker
like Yeah, just like definitively, I'm like, yeah, like this comes up and you're like, yeah, of course this would be sick and interesting because it's him. you know What the hell are you going to do? But...
01:56:51
Speaker
The OD trailer, which next year, i don't think this is going to be, in terms of a game, I don't think this is going be long or anything like that. think this is going to like short, cool, creepy.
01:57:07
Speaker
I'm into it. I really have no nothing bad to say about The other thing, the other game is Fizzint, right? is Is that what it's called? Yeah, Fizzint, which all they showed was like a, this is a picture just like somebody in a cool liquid snake looking trench coat and a gun.
01:57:23
Speaker
Also, I don't know. I don't know if this is just like a troll, but it was like the first PS6 game announced Fizzint. What? That's kind that's trolls. yeah it's just you know i'm like i don't want to thinking about that right now but is it but is it probably not we don't talk about it um there's a visit in my butt yeah some fizzin yeah the uh the playstation it had some interesting bookends the playstation thing um halloween game it's coming out that's gonna die after a year wow hundred you know i saw the trailer for that and like the soundtrack's doing a lot heavy lifting course for that one hey you know what i think you could say that about most halloween movies
01:58:13
Speaker
yeah I feel like I'm a fucking psycho because like I was watching that and I was like, no, this this doesn't look like Halloween. Like there's a lot of people who are like, they nailed it. They nailed it. And it's like, no, Halloween did like very much blue for like the day for night, kind of like blue for night.
01:58:33
Speaker
And this is just like they didn't they didn't do any of the coloring to make it look like Halloween. Yeah. He's also just standing around for a lot of that movie. He turns into a ghost in the game.
01:58:46
Speaker
Oh, yeah. He's got to have six the shape shape movement. He goes into shape movement to scare you, dude. Of course. ah This is only cool for me, but oh yeah they're doing a ah complete remastered edition of Dynasty Warriors 3.
01:59:01
Speaker
And I'm like, oh, hell dude. Just for you. That's the one with the elephant. That really felt like a just-for-me side game. That's so awesome. Did anyone, does anyone care about that Saros game?
01:59:14
Speaker
The, the Returnal sequel? No. Right. Right. I'm glad it's not just me. That's stupid. And I am not a fan. um We talked about Forza. We talked about, ah there's something else that I'm, I'm blanking on game wise. Yeah.
01:59:33
Speaker
And this is going to bug the hell out of me. Was it the new Avatar trailer? Because that looks like a video game. Shut up. Microsoft Flight Simulator. Is it about your new Costco card and your membership, Devin? Hey, speaking of oh Costco, they're not going to be selling Xboxes anymore. yeah yeah. Well, they're in the business of selling Xboxes. They're like, we are done. They were like, we already have a loss leader, and that's our really cheap, really high-quality pizzas.
02:00:03
Speaker
It's important to have another loss leader that's Xbox. We actually sell the pizza. yeah on eel The pizzas sell. We're making more money off our hot dogs than we are on our Xbox. And our chicken bakes.
02:00:20
Speaker
Oh, by the way, this this is what I've been... Well, two things. Deus Ex Remastered is coming out next year, which is neat. I know some of us are Deus Ex fans. The real cyberpunk.
02:00:33
Speaker
Yeah, but so what we were talking about previously... ah I'm going to pick up Sonic Racing Cross Worlds when that Mega Man DLC comes Dude, that's why I bought it too because I saw the Mega Man and I saw... Abu Dhabi. Abu Dhabi. Is that what Devon just said? Is that a violation?
02:00:52
Speaker
Since they already got Mega Man and Smash Bros? Wow. Yeah, but they didn get didn't get Mega Man and Kart Racing. This is heartre this Capcom Bible Greed. I forgot. I forgot. that Sorry. I believe you called it Greedcom? Greedcom?
02:01:06
Speaker
yeahcon what' that come no i'm sure I'm sure if ah if Mario Kart was was willing, they would have they would have said sure. Somebody got that first. Sell us on Donkey Kong DLC. That should have been free.
02:01:19
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah, they're busy trying to patent. Who's greed of the Who's got greed of the year? The Greedo Awards. Yeah. fucking um yeah great of the year the greido awards oh Hell yeah.

Yeah, that's not a good thing, though. We don't want them to be gone. um Yeah, so it's... You know? You know? just saying. I'm just saying.
02:02:40
Speaker
I think we're going to get... Truthfully... One, it's weird that you can't play all the original games on a PlayStation 5. I think that's stupid and should be fixed. Two...
02:02:54
Speaker
It would be cool if they remade the first one because that's been a big rumor, but I don't know who be doing it. And, you know, I don't think we're going to get the Egypt God of War or whatever. know, that's the rumor. I don't think we're getting that until like 2027.
02:03:11
Speaker
i don't know if we would even hear about it this year. I don't know if I'm even going be interested anymore. i'll be like Like Spider-Man, Spider-Verse 3 is coming out 2027. Am I even going to care? 2027.
02:03:23
Speaker
What's the point, right? What's the point of living? We're going to have our Booster Gold movie by then. I'm not going to care about Spider-Man. We're going to be in our camps. We're going to have our Vince D'Onofrio. We're going to be shooting for lives. Did you guys see that? Vince D'Onofrio said he wants to play Swamp Thing, which is kind of cool.
02:03:42
Speaker
That's sick. I want to play Swamp Thing. Because he's like, I like like i like playing broken. He's like, like being broken characters. And Swamp Thing is... like He kind of understands already. Well, he's going up against me for the role. Mud monster. We'll see.
02:03:58
Speaker
but Sorry, Vinny. I'm going to be a swamp monster just as much as you, Vinny. We're going to You understand it's just a bunch of fucking worms that got into a tree and it's not actually a person.
02:04:13
Speaker
You understand that, right, Vin? Sorry, sorry Vin. and I can relate to that because my brain is just worms. All right, but let's see. So, hey, fun news.
02:04:25
Speaker
Fun news, cool news. Zach Krager, director of weapons, confirms that he is working on a prequel. At least there's discussions. of Is that good? do you guys Are you guys into that? I don't i don't know if I'm into that.
02:04:37
Speaker
I don't know if I'm into it, but he's like, hey, I have an idea. it's working. yeah I like it as just a solo thing. Yeah. But he's got do the Resident Evil movie first.
02:04:48
Speaker
yeah ah He is setting so much shit on fire with his comments on Resident Evil. He keeps stomping around being like, it's got nothing to do with the games. and people are like but that's But we want to see Leon Kennedy.
02:05:02
Speaker
I think he's just fucking. I think he's fucking. I'll be honest. I don't like...
02:05:09
Speaker
like what it's not like it works either. They've tried every fucking version. i think version They found every version that doesn't work. Resident Evil is like partially the characters. like It is... Yeah, it sure is. You might as well just make Haunted House movie if you you have Resident Evil. like If you don't want to use the game. There's been so many movies that kind of aped that...
02:05:32
Speaker
plot to like lab gone wrong lab testing gone wrong you know what i mean it's a trope just make Shachma just make fucking Shachma fucking evil monkeys Shachma that's what we all want I don't care about anything else give me an evil monkey well the best I can do is Death Stranding anime Chris that's what i wanted that's what you're gonna get right, fine. If you all that, I'll give you a welcome to daily. I don't want that either.
02:06:05
Speaker
You don't want that? i don't want a stranger thing. You want young pennies? I don't need young pennies. Penny Hardaway whoever they're going to have. Dude, little penny.
02:06:17
Speaker
i That would be fun. Bring that puppet back. Can I be honest with you? What pisses me off about this show is i'm i am interested. I'm not gonna act like a' not. But the fact that they're just going to be like, wait till you get to the episode.
02:06:32
Speaker
That's the whole season. And of course you get to the episode. That's going to be the one, you know, you know, what's really ironic about this movie or show. um I know for a fact, the Duffer brothers wanted to adapt it, but they wanted to make it a TV show.
02:06:46
Speaker
And that was shot down initially by, i don't know what company owns it now with WB. Yeah. Yeah. So they made the two films by with the Italian guy. Yeah, and he who's who's doing the show?
02:06:59
Speaker
Who's doing the show? So it's just ironic that they're aping Stranger Things, obviously, when they could have had the Stranger Things guys do this for them. yeah No, it's stupid.
02:07:13
Speaker
It was pre-Stranger Things. It was pre-Stranger Things. They were originally going to adapt this. I guess it makes sense as to why they probably said no at that point.
02:07:25
Speaker
Because they're like who the fuck are you guys? We're the Duffer buddies. We're the Duffer buddies. Don't you know about your screen resolution when you watch a TV show? I'm Duffer 1. That's Duffer 2.
02:07:37
Speaker
I don't know. He knows a lot about screen resolution. I think you should give him the job.
02:07:42
Speaker
And let's see. We got, ah well, we talked about the Bride trailer a little bit. Interesting. I just, you know, you know, you know.
02:07:54
Speaker
they are making a yeah this is a strange casting choice well it's not casting
02:08:03
Speaker
no I'll let that lie I'll let the lie live yeah is Kenan Thompson from SNL will be playing Macho Man Randy Savage in a Macho Man Randy Savage biopic folks
02:08:18
Speaker
Revealed. Yep. Keen and tough it's so breaking does that mean Does that mean Kel's going to be Miss Elizabeth? Of course. Of course. ah here it goes.
02:08:29
Speaker
I love orange soda. is it true? true
02:08:35
Speaker
I do, I do, I do. He's like, I'm trying to make some fucking art here. a can making a Randy Savage movie. this why This is why I'm slightly concerned.
02:08:45
Speaker
Oh yeah, slightly. The project stems from a completed script by Randy Savage's brother. Oh, the genius. Dandy Savage.
02:08:56
Speaker
And Eric Shapiro. So they're just like, his dead brother wrote this script about a movie. Make it. Now, obviously, i yeah I'm sure some changes are going be made, but I don't know.
02:09:12
Speaker
He's going to throw a dude into it like the crowd in the movie because his brother wrote it. He's going to make them seem like I hope the opening is just Randy Savage like doing a line but while he's like on set for the Spider-Man movie.
02:09:26
Speaker
he okay You're going nowhere! I'm at a real low point in my life. Wait, what's Bonesaw's motivation? Oh, he's ready! does he have a boyfriend? Is he just Peter Parker just joking?
02:09:40
Speaker
Oh, yeah, that's little fucked up, Pete. Looking back, you kind of were the bad guy in this one. You were the piece of shit. Obviously, he does have a long-term commitment with his partner, Greg.
02:09:52
Speaker

He was talking about Shinobi, if it's so hard, being Shinobi. What's that have to do with ah Donkey Kong's plot? Because he's explaining how how simple the plot is. Donkey Kong has a job, and he quit, and that's when the adventure starts.
02:16:08
Speaker
That's really what it's about. Shinobi quit his job, he wouldn't have an adventure. ah Technically, he was he did quit. He was retired. And also, I'm not talking about the plot of Shinobi.
02:16:20
Speaker
said name you said You said a combination of words. It is fun to think about all the video game characters where it's like, you know, Dark Souls. If it's so hard, just sit as bonfire and quit.
02:16:32
Speaker
Just quit. That literally is what happened to my Elden Ring character. He quit. so He quit. Anytime you stop the game, you quit. I don't know, dude. I got to the... You guys Sherpa'd me to the second boss.
02:16:47
Speaker
Oh, Solid State trying to save the world? if It was a word. Quit. The lady... It was the lady who dropped the bubbles or something. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That was at the Academy, right? Yeah, and then maybe one boss after that, and then... You quit.
02:17:02
Speaker
And then they quit. Then they quit. He's like... But it's... Yeah, he's like, there's no difficulty slider in this game. He said, we need some sliders. Fuck this.
02:17:12
Speaker
So, alright, you're saying Donkey Kong has no plot. Elden Ring needs sliders. yeah Not the food. be able um Yeah, I'm saying Donkey Kong...
02:17:24
Speaker
It's not like you're like, oh, I can't spoil... can't spoil Donkey Kong! literally need to talk around things... John, help me out here. Help me out here, John.
02:17:36
Speaker
Most of the things he talks with Tim about. Donkey Kong has a main, has actually a really good plot. And it's like, no, I said, I said, when I talked to Tim now, i have to hold back half the things I say. Oh yeah. There's spoilers.
02:17:51
Speaker
I said, I feel like there's one thing you, you kind of would have to hold back. And that's a big, if at this point, and it's the very end of the game. Yeah. Yeah. If we're, we're talking about like, Oh, it's something. It's also something that like,
02:18:05
Speaker
To Tim's credit, he probably already read it online. He probably did read it online. Probably, but he won't say he probably won't tell us. And now we're in a weird position. Like, why doesn't he just say, oh, I didn't, you know, because we'll look down on him. mean, we will look down on him if he if he says that he just saw it online. I won't look down on him.
02:18:22
Speaker
I won't look down on him. I already did. I will punch down on him.
02:18:29
Speaker
And I was like – It's mainly because I feel like that's like a like he loves it. It's like Donkey Kong Country throwback. and That's the only tattoo he has.
02:18:40
Speaker
That's the tattoo he's got. He's got Donkey and Diddy on his ankle.
02:18:46
Speaker
That can't be true. Yeah. He got it 2023. I don't believe this. don't believe it. don't believe it. believe it i don't believe He's got to show it to me, which he will never will.
02:19:02
Speaker
Because he always wears pants. He always wears long pants. I don't think I've ever seen, like like a like woman made in like the 1800s, I've never seen anything more than Tim's ankles. That's the thing, because if he says, like, I don't have that, you have to be like, well, then show me your ankle. And he'd be like, I'd never.
02:19:19
Speaker
Yeah, I'd never do that. i would never do that. How dare you? ifre like I haven't shaved. I would never do that. That's because he's got a whole fucking lanky Kong back tattoo. I'll never see it. We'll never see it. You can say anything.
02:19:35
Speaker
because And we'll never see it. ah He could have swastikas all over his body. And he would get banned from Fortnite. Actually, no, he wouldn't.
02:19:46
Speaker
yeah Only implied swastikas get banned. Not actual Nazis. Damn, man. Yeah, that was ah was a pretty good point you made. Because when we talk about the Fortnite...
02:19:57
Speaker
Peacemaker dance. Yeah. But then you were like, yeah, but like the Kanye emotes there. The cyber trunk truck is there. Like, come on. guys They literally have like a child murderer in the game. Who?
02:20:15
Speaker
David. date Oh, yeah. he had a kind of woman in his car. Yeah. He's still in it. Well, they released they released a ah bundle.
02:20:26
Speaker
uh before oh devon he's like a art a musical artist you this is yeah this is something to look into he's a musician it's really fucked up of a story like they found a his car yeah he was like he was famous enough to have a fortnight skin uh fortnight uh song i think there was music i mean i have i have a fortnight skin oh yeah yeah I have no clue. I gotta get on there, man. haven't been on there in a while.
02:20:54
Speaker
didn't know John was... But, like, his song still plays? Like, if you're playing it, you can be like... If you bought it, don you can still listen to it. The whole Peacemaker thing is so... It's so silly because it's basically because a bunch of idiots on Twitter and Reddit are like, oh, is this a swastika or they're making with their arms? Fucking Screen Crush over here on YouTube making it that I can't do the Peacemaker dance.
02:21:14
Speaker
They're the worst. ah But it's like, it's so it's so dumb because it really is, like... it's It's not. It doesn't even make a swastika. It's the same dance as the fucking Monster Mash in Fortnite. yeah They're going to get rid of and it's and the monster, man. The monsters are going to rise up.
02:21:32
Speaker
this It's the same style of dance as the first season's intro, too, where they're like, you know, being marionette and puppets or whatever, like the same type of dance. It's, it's literally, it's so stupid. It's very interesting. Cause they, they have a lot of like collaborations with Warner brothers. Like still, they're going to, they're going apparently be bringing the mystery machine from Scooby-Doo into the game soon. So like they have ties, but like all that's going to happen is they're going reach out to WB's lawyers.
02:22:02
Speaker
The lawyers going to say, no, that's not a swastika. And then they're going to just enable it again. Wow. That's Peacemakers coming back, baby.
02:22:13
Speaker
Like, he's just gonna say fucking no Like, just like he's been saying no to, like, the, hey, is the Superman thing, is that Israel-Palestine? And he's like, no. It's obvious!
02:22:24
Speaker
Like, don't fuck around. also no but Also, he can't fucking say that it is, too. Of course he can. So people are like, oh, why is he lying? and it's like do So by that logic, are we saying it is a Nazi symbol? He's doing a peace maker? No, because it doesn't make sense within the context, either. Like,
02:22:43
Speaker
It's not like, you know, that's Peacemaker. You know, like it's not like that's the main character. Like, why would he even be? Let's let's devil's advocate. Do we think that in the intro that that is what they're doing, though, that they're doing like partial swastikas?
02:22:59
Speaker
like No, like why would they do that? I don't know. don't know, because that's the theory, right? It's because they make they make a half a... No, but also there here's here's here's here's Angel's advocate.
02:23:11
Speaker
The angle that they're doing those those things could not – the swastika got to be on a 45-degree angle. So fuck you then, like Fortnite. You know what mean? Like that symbol means because something completely different when when when it's at that angle, at part the partial lines at that angle.
02:23:33
Speaker
Like it's so dumb. You can still drive that Cybertruck around, and that guy did a seat high. yeah wow it was my heart goes out to you you sad you sad you you'll say i comment it back dont yeah what all right we're done we're done yeah yeah a lot left oh uh last thing i do think this is neat not neat interesting uh
Ethical Concerns in Entertainment Industry
02:24:05
Speaker
ea is reportedly they say as early as monday uh closing to become a private company oh what's that mean uh electronic farts they're an indie developer
02:24:20
Speaker
ah So investors include private equity firm Silver Lake and Saudi Arabia's public investment fund. Oh, that's wonderful. why That's better. And those guys caused 9-11, right? They're getting that Saudi money. The 9-11 guys?
02:24:34
Speaker
Oh, cool. Yeah. And oh but you would almost think like, oh, well, because partially you want to go like, oh, well if they're not a public company, then maybe they don't have to be so shitty with their policies because it's not about just making money.
02:24:49
Speaker
you know, shareholders money. But it's still going to be that. So, uh, don't know. Just a little interesting. Like a little bit.
02:25:01
Speaker
But a wise man once said, go suck a blood money covered dick in Saudi Arabia. you fucking dork. That wrestler that wrestled. in yeah Yeah. That was the guy who had the main event in Saudi Arabia this year. let's see i Yeah.
02:25:17
Speaker
ah That's awesome. oh yeah Who knew? Once that money gets your way, yeah story changes.
02:25:30
Speaker
moneyia Yeah. Yeah. I guess CM Punk's never going to be on this podcast. And he loves comic books. Did he hear that mean did you read about that ah the list of all the comics going to Saudi?
02:25:43
Speaker
Oh, yeah. Phil Burr. Oh, comedian Evan Hart. Yeah, yeah, ah yeah. A bunch of comedians are going to Saudi Arabia and some have said no. um Louis C.K.
02:25:55
Speaker
let me Yeah, Louis. Is he going or did he say He needs some money, man. He's definitely He's going, but some what some like smaller You can't get double canceled. Yeah. some Some smaller comedian was like, oh, yeah, you know, I'm not going, but here's the contract they sent me. And it's like,
02:26:13
Speaker
You cannot disparage Saudi Arabia. You cannot make fun of us. you go oh yeah it's down in the yeah And I'm like, oh, gross. It's pretty gross. That's the only reason to go there.
02:26:24
Speaker
So you could roast them all. Yeah, like that um would be funny. around What would happen if if if they if one of them did just start roasting them? Would would they just get killed on site, you think?
02:26:35
Speaker
I think there'd be a problem with their airplane at the airport. man Let's just say Louis wouldn't be making of him. but Yeah, so... Kevin Hart would have to entertain them constantly. thats Oh, it would be like the Jumanji movies. Basically, yes. It's one of those things where I'm like, i guess I'm just going to do this so I can still say I like you, i guess.
02:26:59
Speaker
Yeah, it's rough. I don't know. But, yeah. Shane Gillis, of all people, he's like, I'm not doing that. That's fucked up. And I was like, oh, okay, cool.
02:27:14
Speaker
so's ah yeah So we'll end it on that positive note. How about that? yeah ah Next week episode, we will be in Rydia. Oh, shit. Damn, we took the money. Oh, yeah, i forgot to mention. Sorry. like I didn't know.
