Video Game Discussions: Hollow Knight and Silksong
00:01:00
silkdong
i Yeah, i think yeah i I texted Devin today. I'm like, dude, I might be mentally unstable. i i I got Silksong again on Steam and started playing it.
00:01:00
BeyBlade
some of our conversations, dude.
00:01:09
BeyBlade
No, this is also after you've just kind of restarted Hollow Knight on a win and then beat it.
00:01:13
silkdong
I just ended up playing the whole thing. i And not even just beat it, just getting 100% and everything.
00:01:21
BeyBlade
Right, you like disgust me at this point.
00:01:21
silkdong
i can't... i Dude...
00:01:23
semendemon
You're down bad. You're down bad.
00:01:25
silkdong
Dude... I kind of regret not getting it on Steam to begin with because even...
00:01:33
silkdong
Yeah, because even compared to the Switch 2, which is like a newer system, quote-unquote, it just looks way better. on the Steam Deck OLED.
00:01:43
silkdong
I think it's the OLED screen, because, like, it looks incredible on it, and I'm getting 90 frames the entire way.
00:01:50
silkdong
i don't even know what the frames are on Switch 2. They don't let you see that stuff.
00:01:54
BeyBlade
Probably six. Probably six frames.
00:01:56
silkdong
It's probably Borderlands 4, 15 frames, or whatever.
00:01:58
BeyBlade
Yeah. Thanks, Chris. Yeah.
00:02:02
semendemon
It was, actually, it was six.
00:02:06
silkdong
And actually, it was poetic, because um sam ordered me Sam ordered me that...
00:02:09
semendemon
No problem. That's
00:02:12
silkdong
the Hollow Knight hoodie that I wanted and it came in the day I beat Hollow Knight again.
00:02:16
Steve-O
Oh, look at that.
00:02:17
silkdong
Yeah, so I was like, yeah. And she got me a little pin too. I don't know where.
00:02:20
Steve-O
If you beat Hollow Knight every day, then you can make every day.
00:02:22
BeyBlade
Good things will happen.
00:02:23
silkdong
maybe i get it Maybe I get a hoodie every day.
00:02:25
BeyBlade
Did you you explain to her that you might get a Hollow Knight tattoo?
00:02:29
BeyBlade
You're like, it's honey, it's on the...
00:02:30
silkdong
No. No, and I'm not gonna get i'm not goingnna get one.
00:02:33
BeyBlade
Get one, dude. I would.
00:02:36
Steve-O
You're going a Hollow Knight tattoo, Devin?
00:02:37
BeyBlade
no no. I mean, I'm just saying...
00:02:39
semendemon
How many, Devin?
00:02:39
Steve-O
If you get a Hollow Knight tattoo, Devin, then then John will.
00:02:40
silkdong
I'm gonna get one.
00:02:43
semendemon
Yeah, might get one.
00:02:44
BeyBlade
I feel like that would ruin it for John, to be honest.
00:02:47
Steve-O
You don't want matching tattoos?
00:02:47
BeyBlade
Maybe that's the only way to break the curse.
00:02:49
Steve-O
John will get the knight and you get ah you get Hornet.
00:02:50
BeyBlade
I have to get a Hollow Knight. This is pretty much like the the adult getting into a hobby that their kid likes just so their kid stops being into it.
00:03:01
BeyBlade
This is the only way to get John to stop playing folk songs.
00:03:01
semendemon
I'd say you get...
00:03:02
silkdong
he doest no but he he's been trying He's been trying to play it, though.
00:03:02
semendemon
Devin, you get hollow across one butt cheek and the O is your butthole.
00:03:08
silkdong
It's just night.
00:03:09
semendemon
And night is the other butt cheek.
00:03:12
BeyBlade
Now, the eye is just my cock and pulse.
00:03:14
semendemon
Yeah, there you go.
00:03:15
Steve-O
No, don't do that.
00:03:17
BeyBlade
It's an inverted eye.
00:03:18
semendemon
You go all the way up.
00:03:18
silkdong
Guys, could you you imagine could you imagine if I played this game when it came out and was obsessed with it this whole time and waited seven years and i had to wait seven years like everyone else?
00:03:19
BeyBlade
ah no not really.
00:03:25
BeyBlade
Yeah. I then had to wait.
00:03:26
Steve-O
No. No. No. John. john I don't know a John Suarez who plays a game that he falls in love with date and day and date.
00:03:36
BeyBlade
Yeah. Yeah, that guy doesn't exist.
Game of the Year Debates and Indie Games
00:03:40
silkdong
but also like, it's like, um, don't know, man.
00:03:44
silkdong
I, maybe I'm like refusing or i don't want to say subconsciously cause I'm very conscious of it, but like, maybe I'm just avoiding playing Claire obscure because I don't, because I know that if I play a game, that's probably, that might end up being my game of the year.
00:04:01
silkdong
And I don't want that to happen.
00:04:02
BeyBlade
I'll be I don't know.
00:04:03
Steve-O
i think I think you're too deep.
00:04:04
BeyBlade
I don't see a universe where that happened.
00:04:05
Steve-O
you You're too deep in the silk mines now.
00:04:08
silkdong
I mean, I don't know. Dude, I was, like, fucking, like... I was gonna get my Donkey Kong tattoo. And then... And then, now look at me. I'm a fucking rat.
00:04:16
BeyBlade
Yeah, and you're like, dude, Donkey Kong's fucking terrible.
00:04:20
Steve-O
This DLC fucking sucks.
00:04:20
silkdong
No, no, I was, like, thinking about it the other day.
00:04:23
silkdong
Yeah, because I've been reading all, like, the Game of the Year, like, like predictions from every from all the media outlets and stuff.
00:04:28
BeyBlade
yeah, yeah. yeah
00:04:29
silkdong
And, like, I'm at the point now that if Donkey Kong wins, I'll be mad. Yeah. Like, i i won im hoping I won't be mad if Claire Obscura wins, or if...
00:04:39
silkdong
I mean, I might be a little mad if Hades 2 wins, just because, you know, i had fucking early access last year and and everything.
00:04:43
BeyBlade
Yeah, it barely, it shouldn't count.
00:04:45
semendemon
I'm going to be honest with you, John.
00:04:46
silkdong
shouldn't count.
00:04:46
semendemon
I think 2024, John would spit on you right now.
00:04:50
semendemon
Yeah, he would.
00:04:50
silkdong
Just because it's Donkey Kong?
00:04:51
semendemon
He would spit on it.
00:04:52
silkdong
and No, because...
00:04:52
semendemon
He'd be like, how dare you?
00:04:53
silkdong
I don't know, dude. But, like, it's just, like that like, it's so funny seeing the discourse every year, because, like, Remember when it was like Resident Evil 4 or like Final Fantasy 7? It's like oh, remakes don't count.
00:05:08
silkdong
And then like ah when Tears of the King that came out, ah well, sequels shouldn't count because it's you know they they had something to build off of. And now this year it's like indies shouldn't count.
00:05:18
Steve-O
Indies shouldn't count?
00:05:19
silkdong
big yeah you are saying People are saying indies shouldn't...
00:05:19
Steve-O
Oh, so nothing counts.
00:05:22
silkdong
Like Hades 2 and... Hades 2 and Silksong shouldn't be eligible because... they didn't cost as much to make as the other games, and...
00:05:33
BeyBlade
Wow, that's really, that's rough logic.
00:05:34
silkdong
And it's, like, it's insane!
00:05:37
BeyBlade
Yeah, I don't know.
00:05:37
semendemon
I think that's where the Oscars are heading soon, to be honest.
00:05:40
silkdong
Where it's, like, it's gotta be some big budget, some big budget shit.
00:05:43
semendemon
I kind of do. Yeah. I think if like the movie industry continues to crater, there's going to be more and more focus on big, budgeted movies.
00:05:50
silkdong
Like, i didn't I didn't play Death Strand 2, but if that shit wins, like, you know, i I'll react worse than what I... how I would've reacted if I stayed when Astro Bot won.
00:06:00
BeyBlade
That still hurts me that you did you weren't.
00:06:02
BeyBlade
I didn't get to see you.
00:06:03
silkdong
Sorry, Devin. Sorry, I have a kid.
00:06:05
BeyBlade
That was some cowardly shit.
00:06:06
silkdong
That's my excuse.
00:06:06
BeyBlade
You should have told me to.
00:06:07
silkdong
Oh, yeah, it's cowardly. It's fucking 1030 at night.
00:06:09
BeyBlade
Yeah, it was cowardly, dude.
00:06:10
silkdong
i had a fucking two year old with me.
00:06:11
silkdong
Three year old with me. Yeah, OK.
00:06:15
BeyBlade
Yeah, I thought he could hang.
00:06:15
silkdong
And he was like, ah can yeah, he definitely lost interest like an hour in.
00:06:16
BeyBlade
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
00:06:22
silkdong
But um I'm excited, though, for the game awards, because I think like Silk Song might not win game of the year, but like it's going it's going that Denzel thing, it's going to go in with something.
00:06:37
BeyBlade
yeah Yeah, it's getting something, dude.
00:06:38
silkdong
It's going to get a bunch of stuff. Like, if it doesn't, like, whichever one wins game of the year, like the other one, it's going to win in the in the game of the year.
00:06:42
semendemon
Well, like, outside of india outside of indie games this year, what is their, like, a game of the year? Like, I don't, like, if you exclude the indie games this year, what else is there?
00:06:55
BeyBlade
It'd be like Donkey Kong Death Stranding 2.
00:06:55
silkdong
It's Death Stranding, Ghost of Yote, Death Stranding,
00:06:59
BeyBlade
Claire Obscure, maybe?
00:07:00
semendemon
Really? Really?
00:07:01
BeyBlade
Depending on where you want to go with Indie, you know?
00:07:04
Steve-O
Yeah, is it is it just like 2D games that are indie?
00:07:04
semendemon
Death Stranding 2? Death Stranding 2?
00:07:08
Steve-O
Don't get it. It's like, what?
00:07:10
BeyBlade
It's like, yeah, it's like, well, how many people have to work there? Right. It's.
00:07:15
Steve-O
and Come on Come on.
00:07:16
Steve-O
Let's just face it.
00:07:16
Steve-O
you just You just won your big budget title that you played to win.
00:07:21
semendemon
It's tribalism coming back.
00:07:23
silkdong
No, but it's also like, it's not like, like, I guess some people just put, they think indie and then they're just like, oh, it's like a a one hour, two hour game that, you know, that cost, you know, that, that didn't cost that much to make.
00:07:36
silkdong
And, you know, and it didn't cost that much to buy. So it shouldn't, you know, it's not a grand extravagant experience like Death Stranding 2 or Ghost of Yote. When it might be, Silksong was a grand extravagant experience for me, you know,
00:07:52
silkdong
Yeah. And i don't know, man.
00:07:55
semendemon
Well, I'll tell you from a personal experience, I did play an indie game that felt like it was only a couple hours. ah
00:08:02
silkdong
Well, it's ah it was the roguelike.
00:08:03
silkdong
It was a roguelike, so.
00:08:05
semendemon
It was. it was Absalom. um I took Steve's advice and I picked up the Thorndaggers.
00:08:11
silkdong
Oh, you used the meta? You used the Steve meta?
00:08:12
semendemon
ah hes He's the Steve meta.
00:08:15
silkdong
The fucking, yeah, the optimal Steve meta?
00:08:15
Steve-O
Dude, I'm not gonna lie.
00:08:17
Steve-O
i felt I felt two ways about that, Chris, once you said that. I felt one, ah felt like I was the smartest person in the world for figuring that out.
00:08:25
Steve-O
Because that is just from playing.
00:08:25
silkdong
And two, fuck you for taking my
00:08:28
Steve-O
and And dude, no, fuck you for taking my strat and actually winning with it because I had not yet.
00:08:34
semendemon
Wait, you didn't, you didn't beat, you didn't beat...
00:08:34
Steve-O
i was like, no du no, dude, I just got to the boss, but like he licked me when I did that. So I was like, ooh, ooh, ooh.
00:08:40
semendemon
What?! Are you kidding me?!
00:08:44
Steve-O
Dude, this is a set this essentially like...
00:08:45
semendemon
I thought you beat it!
00:08:46
Steve-O
Nah, you showed up. You said, hey, Steve, can I borrow your shoes?
00:08:50
Steve-O
And then you won the fucking finals of the dunk...
00:08:51
silkdong
And then you dunk the basketball. You dunk the basketball. Yeah.
00:08:54
Steve-O
Yeah, you you won the dunk contest.
00:08:55
semendemon
Dude. It trivialized the boss.
00:08:58
silkdong
That's pretty fucking funny.
00:09:02
semendemon
I felt like I cheated.
00:09:04
Steve-O
but Dude, you are just a chainsaw at a certain point with those those thorn daggers. Mm-hmm.
00:09:10
semendemon
there was a point where I got the spread version where they were spreading out like, yeah, you got that too.
00:09:16
semendemon
So it was like, oh.
00:09:16
Steve-O
No, I didn't know there was a spread version.
00:09:19
Steve-O
Fuck. Fuck, dude.
00:09:21
silkdong
Skill skill issue. I'd like to say that.
00:09:25
semendemon
I thought you really, I thought you meant like, oh the game after you beat it is hard. That's what i thought
00:09:32
Steve-O
No. No, dude. So, like, genuinely, Chris, like, I didn't know that. So this is genuinely skill diff. Like...
00:09:40
semendemon
thought. I don't know. i got lucky. I got lucky with the relics. All right.
00:09:48
silkdong
How much was that again, Absalom?
00:09:53
Steve-O
Yeah, I think at launch it was 20, but.
00:09:58
silkdong
Oh yeah, Devin, i already have my Copium fucking tweet drafted tweet drafted in or already that I'm ready to send when Silksong loses.
00:10:07
silkdong
I really think that maybe, possibly... The critics might not be so kind to the game because they didn't get advanced copies
Phantasm Movie Series Analysis
00:10:16
silkdong
to review it before it came out.
00:10:19
silkdong
You know? is that it is that you know Is that out of pocket to think that way?
00:10:24
BeyBlade
You know, I'm going to say, in all seriousness, I'd be shocked if there wasn't a ah small handful of people that are a little salty about it.
00:10:37
BeyBlade
You know what I mean? I'm sure for the vast majority, they don't care. you know And, like, truly, they don't care.
00:10:42
BeyBlade
But I bet you there's a few. There's got to be, right?
00:10:46
BeyBlade
It's kind bullshit that we don't get. Like, the worst, but the worst reviewers.
00:10:48
silkdong
The Joystick... The Joystick Awards came out and a bunch of shit got fucking snubbed from that.
00:10:56
silkdong
But that's like fan voted, right?
00:10:58
silkdong
Yeah, they have the... I think they have the... The nominations already revealed.
00:11:04
semendemon
Joystick awards.
00:11:07
silkdong
Joystick Awards or whatever.
00:11:08
Steve-O
o That's a little early.
00:11:12
BeyBlade
i still haven't ah i still haven't been able to get back into Absalom, though. i
00:11:17
silkdong
Did you beat any more of the Sinister Six? The Magnificent Six?
00:11:21
BeyBlade
i am i am pretty much... i I got to a point where I was like, ooh, let me collect.
00:11:28
silkdong
Did you beat the Spider Guy? That guy was the coolest looking dude when I was looking them up.
00:11:31
BeyBlade
Yeah. No, I did. i did.
00:11:32
silkdong
Was the fight was the fight worth was the was the fight worth in
00:11:35
BeyBlade
you Yeah. It was actually, you know, you're getting into spoiler territory, so I won't go too deep into it.
00:11:39
silkdong
Okay, alright, alright.
00:11:40
BeyBlade
But it was it was pretty cool, actually. A lot of lightning. lot rain and lightning in that one.
00:11:48
BeyBlade
No, but, like, I hit a point where it was like, Do you want to go after this or do you want to find all the clothes? So I because you ah you know, you you have your little um instrument.
00:12:01
BeyBlade
And you can play different songs and they'll tell you where certain things are. So I just sat there for about ah half a day and I would play the songs and would tell me where the next ah vanity piece like piece of clothing.
00:12:15
BeyBlade
And I did that for about half a day before it was fine. Like, you've got everything. Like, stop it. So now with no distractions or no earthly distractions, i can pretty much mainline the rest of the game.
00:12:31
silkdong
Oh, okay. So you're going to be at this week?
00:12:31
BeyBlade
I'm going to say if i get if I just did a line right now, like after a podcast, I could probably bang it out tonight.
00:12:42
BeyBlade
I'm not doing that, but obviously I'm just saying.
00:12:44
silkdong
I mean, because, yeah, I want to know your thought process because you you also have to go back to Expedition 33 and finish that. and finish that
00:12:51
BeyBlade
Yes. And then my dumb ass. my God, dude. Dude, I don't know what was wrong with me. um So I bought dispatch because just.
00:13:00
silkdong
Dude, no you never mind. You're going to be on that until you finish that.
00:13:03
BeyBlade
No, no, no, no. I bought the...
00:13:05
Steve-O
No, it's not done yet, right?
00:13:07
BeyBlade
Didn't touch. Well, it's the first two are out, and I think in like two weeks.
00:13:09
silkdong
That's your favorite. That's Devin's favorite type of game, I think, to play.
00:13:12
BeyBlade
Yeah, and then in two weeks, the third episode comes out, and then it's it's done.
00:13:12
silkdong
The lazy visual novels.
00:13:17
silkdong
Chris, ah the games that the games that require no skill at all are Devin's favorite games.
00:13:17
BeyBlade
um So I haven't touched that.
00:13:23
BeyBlade
And then... no no, no. Dude, it gets worse. It gets worse. And then i was like, what the fuck's up with this Ball X Pit game I keep hearing about?
00:13:32
silkdong
Oh, shit. I saw Stin was playing that the other day.
00:13:35
BeyBlade
and I thought it's 15 bucks. I buy it.
00:13:38
BeyBlade
Boy, boy, I wish I got my 15 bucks back.
00:13:42
BeyBlade
I cannot stand it.
00:13:43
silkdong
me see. Let me look it up
00:13:44
BeyBlade
Like I don't get, I'm kind of at a point where I'm waiting for it to get good.
00:13:44
silkdong
Let me look it up.
00:13:49
BeyBlade
I'm like, when does the, like it's, I don't wait.
00:13:51
Steve-O
Is it like Arkanoid? What is what is it?
00:13:56
BeyBlade
Is Arkanoid like where you throw shit and it bounces back?
00:13:57
silkdong
Oh, this looks fun This actually looks really fun, actually.
00:13:59
Steve-O
Where it's like the paddle like that goes at the bottom of the screen and the ball hits the screen.
00:14:01
BeyBlade
Yeah, yeah, yeah. So, yes. And John, yes, because I watched the trailer and I went, this looks sick as shit. yeah it's What i have right now, not fun at all.
00:14:12
BeyBlade
Like, imagine if Vampire Survivors kept you with the first starting character like over an hour in.
00:14:13
silkdong
Wait, let me look. Oh
00:14:19
silkdong
ah yeah, that doesn't feel good.
00:14:20
BeyBlade
And like, you're making no progress.
00:14:20
Steve-O
Oh. Don't like that.
00:14:23
BeyBlade
Like, I do a match and then I get three gold. And then just like, and it's...
00:14:29
silkdong
It's 87 on Open Critic right now
00:14:32
BeyBlade
du I'll be honest, man. I'm like, I'm not, I am not experiencing what a lot of people are experiencing with this game. And I wish I returned. I wish I had, I wish I had steam capabilities and to get my money back.
00:14:49
silkdong
To get your $13 back?
00:14:49
BeyBlade
Um, dude, I'll be honest.
00:14:52
BeyBlade
Yeah. It's not worth it. Like, fuck.
00:14:54
silkdong
that's That's really the... Man.
00:14:56
BeyBlade
I don't, it could have been $4. Like I want my money back. I don't like this game. Um,
00:15:00
silkdong
Damn, you really don't like it, huh?
00:15:02
BeyBlade
And I'm at a point where like now I'm angry because I'm like, I need i need to know why people think it's good. So I might just force myself to keep playing it until I...
00:15:12
silkdong
like yeah Like, it's different from, like, Bellatro, where you understood why people were really into it, but...
00:15:18
BeyBlade
Yeah, or like Vampire Survivors where you're like, oh yeah, one more.
00:15:19
silkdong
Right. Interesting.
00:15:21
BeyBlade
And like, trust me, there definitely is the one more in like type of mechanic in this game, but it's just... am not I am not experiencing what other people seem to be experiencing with this game.
00:15:37
BeyBlade
and And I don't know. I'm not saying $15 is crazy expensive, but I am like, this is really disappointing.
00:15:45
BeyBlade
so i might i should i should just... Beat Ghost of Yotei and then finish Expedition instead of putting time, instead of trying to force myself to like a game that I'm not liking.
00:16:00
silkdong
yeah are you like, are you trying to avoid finishing Claire Obscure too?
00:16:04
BeyBlade
no no, not really.
00:16:04
silkdong
Like, are you like...
00:16:05
BeyBlade
It's just, mean, I got dispatched, frankly, because I wanted to support the studio as lame as that is, you know?
00:16:12
semendemon
I bought the new Katamari Damacy game that came out.
00:16:16
silkdong
I bought Silksong twice because I wanted to support the studio and also I'm a sick, sick individual that, whose mind isn't all there right now.
00:16:25
silkdong
So... I also wanted to support the studio too. You know?
00:16:32
BeyBlade
But, you know, outside of that, I and did some, I was doing some damage with ah my TVs and my and i'm film watching.

00:17:18
silkdong
how many How many movies are there?
00:17:22
BeyBlade
And they all take place like... ah So this is what's interesting to me as a kid. and it's still interesting to me now. It's not like Phantasm 1 and Phantasm 3 have different characters. It's the same characters.
00:17:37
BeyBlade
It's the same story. Like, that just continues. It's not like a new group of people that get killed by these big metal orbs. um It's the same dude...
00:17:49
semendemon
guy the ponytail and the bald head.
00:17:51
BeyBlade
Him and and and the young kid and the tall man.
00:17:51
Steve-O
The tall man, right?
00:17:53
semendemon
No, that... And the tall man, yeah, of course.
00:17:55
BeyBlade
yeah, yeah. ah the Most importantly, the tall man. um and it's just But all of the movies take place like a decade. it's Hold on. let's ah It's kind of ridiculous. So it's... Let's see. yeah right
00:18:10
semendemon
Did that kid get any better as an actor?
00:18:13
semendemon
As an adult? but The main kid from the first movie.
00:18:17
BeyBlade
Slightly yes. The brother Jody, absolutely not.
00:18:22
BeyBlade
And no, honestly, reg Reggie, ah po the ice cream man, the only one worth salt.
00:18:29
semendemon
yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:18:29
BeyBlade
You know, ah but.
00:18:30
semendemon
He's fun. He's fun. He's got that weird shotgun. Can you explain the shotgun to me, please?
00:18:36
BeyBlade
So it's two sawed off shotguns that he cuts. He cuts the barrels at an angle and then tapes them together. And then he adds a grip and somehow it works.
00:18:46
semendemon
It looks like organ pipes.
00:18:50
BeyBlade
So you have Phantasm, 1979. Phantasm 2, 88. Phantasm 3, 94. Phantasm 4, 98. Phantasm what? Dude, 79 to 2016? Are you kidding? The Ice Cream Mans and all of them?
00:19:02
BeyBlade
phantasm five ravager twenty sixteen like
00:19:06
semendemon
Whoa, what a jump.
00:19:07
BeyBlade
what ah dude seventy nine to twenty sixteen are you kidding think the ice cream mans and all of them
00:19:13
semendemon
What happened? Did somebody get cancer?
00:19:17
BeyBlade
I think they all did at this point.
00:19:17
semendemon
Devin, you got to dig a little beeper here. You got to figure that out.
00:19:21
BeyBlade
And so, truth told, truth be told, as a was the first...
00:19:22
semendemon
Please, I want to know.
00:19:25
BeyBlade
truth be told as a kid this was the first movie I've ever saw that like had a continuing story like this was my first experience it's not just like a sequel with the same character and it's a different thing it's like oh this is chapter two this is chapter three this is chapter four and then as a kid i was like really like I need to know what happens next And then obviously as a kid, I can't like go to a store and be like, I need the new phantasm.
00:20:02
semendemon
You could say that.
00:20:03
semendemon
You could say that.
00:20:04
Steve-O
I mean, you went into a store and asked for, what was it?
00:20:07
Steve-O
ah Y'all got Ninebreed?
00:20:08
semendemon
You all got night brain.
00:20:09
silkdong
Yeah. Oh, yes, yes, yes, yes.
00:20:10
BeyBlade
See, that's the thing. I couldn't even have done that for Phantasm Ravager because i don't think I was doing that back in 2016. I think I predated.
00:20:19
Steve-O
Y'all got Tazrav?
00:20:20
BeyBlade
but Y'all got Phantasm Ravager.
00:20:23
semendemon
Oh, Devin, Devin, I have a, I have an answer by AI.
00:20:28
semendemon
Let's see how I'll write this in.
00:20:29
silkdong
oh yes yes yes yes yes
00:20:30
semendemon
The 18-year jump between Phantasm Oblivion and Phantasm Ravager in 2016 was due to a series of development and distribution problems and a complete change in the production process.
00:20:44
semendemon
Creator Don Cossarelli stepped away from the director's chair and the final film was shot independently in secret over a period of several years?
00:20:53
BeyBlade
That is so, um yeah, I feel like this guy and even and even do like 79 to 88.
00:20:54
semendemon
What the fuck is going on here?!
00:21:03
BeyBlade
Like that's 10 years ah or nine years. And then like the the closest one is the four year gap in the 90s. But and then it's like eight 94.
00:21:16
BeyBlade
Like that's six years. Like, it felt like this guy just scratched whatever money he could, shot a movie, and then just started the process over again for years and years and years.
00:21:24
semendemon
Well, correct me if wrong, but Don Cosarelli in between that time made Bubba Hotep.
00:21:32
Steve-O
Yes, you are correct. In the year 2002 or two thousand two or three
00:21:36
semendemon
Yeah, yeah. Which is a great fucking movie as well.
00:21:38
BeyBlade
Yeah. Yeah. Listen, they're not... I mean, I can dig into the, a little bit later, like when I'm done, done, but like, they're not terrible. Some of some are bad for sure.
00:21:53
BeyBlade
And some age, it's spectacularly badly. Like, uh, like the third one, uh, Reggie just straight up.
00:22:02
semendemon
Doesn't he have a companion who's like a black girl and it's really awkward?
00:22:07
BeyBlade
Yes. Because he basically tries to like sexually assault her. um
00:22:12
semendemon
I've watched a few of these or at least parts of them over the course of my life.
00:22:18
BeyBlade
but Dude, some of the some of the the orb kills and shit are just awesome. You know?
00:22:24
semendemon
How do you feel about there being a lot of orbs?
00:22:29
BeyBlade
um I'm okay with it.
00:22:32
BeyBlade
It's just more like the character of Reggie. Just like... he's He's a character that should... One, he he he kind of... He dies in the first one and then I guess they decided to retcon it.
00:22:44
BeyBlade
By the end of the first movie, it was like, it was all a dream.
00:22:48
BeyBlade
And you're like, I'm sorry, what? um But no, do Reggie just. He kind of rules and he should he should have died 10 times over, but he just kind of sticks around.
00:23:03
BeyBlade
yeah Yeah, yeah, because he's basically he's like the traveling guy that always he's a big perv.
00:23:03
semendemon
It's a fascinating series, really. Because that
00:23:11
BeyBlade
And he's always like hitting on these women that seem like there's a chance. And then they're like, no, ew. So he's just like perpetually horny.
00:23:21
semendemon
And the fact that they had to shoot the last one in secrets and they the the tall man didn't find out and kill everybody.
00:23:27
Steve-O
It's almost like, like, uh, what was that?
00:23:29
Steve-O
Freddie movie. The, the final, the final nightmare where like, if you actually like summon Freddie,
00:23:31
semendemon
what it felt like, the final nightmare.
00:23:38
semendemon
Tall man's coming.
00:23:39
BeyBlade
So, yeah, and and they all end with that.
00:23:43
BeyBlade
And the last one, so 4 ends on like... Alright, so 4 comes out in 1998.
00:23:52
BeyBlade
It ends like with the guy, the evil winning, you know without getting into spoilers.
00:23:57
semendemon
cool right as shit that's a cool way to drop it off well they're they're incredibly like it's almost it's interdimensional correct and it's not like different planet like it's a different dimension
00:23:58
BeyBlade
But was like I was like, wait, this is the end of the movie? And then this is the end of the series? And then...
00:24:09
BeyBlade
Yeah, they're like aliens.
00:24:15
BeyBlade
Yeah, and they have yet to explain
Horror Genre Evolution
00:24:19
semendemon
really oh yeah yeah
00:24:20
BeyBlade
I mean, it's just like, it's just that's where they're from. And he's after Mike, and the reason seems like it changes every movie.
00:24:31
semendemon
It's kind of Lovecraftian, guess, in the beginning.
00:24:34
BeyBlade
yeah, just if like it was bad.
00:24:38
Steve-O
What's the best one?
00:24:40
silkdong
first one, right?
00:24:40
BeyBlade
So four wasn't terrible.
00:24:45
BeyBlade
Three's good, but like the tone is a lot different, but three's like the first one that feels like a movie. You know what I mean? One is cool because it's, it's so raw.
00:24:58
BeyBlade
um Man, there's really something to like about every one of them. Really? There's not like a, there's not like a complete car wreck, ah you know, ver s sequel so far.
00:25:11
BeyBlade
You know what I mean? There's not like a Freddy's dead of the group so far. But um I will say it's just at this point, though, i it it has been a bit of a struggle.
00:25:24
BeyBlade
ah yeah Like Jenny's like, wait, are you still watching the same movie? And I was like, no, I swear it's it's this is Phantasm three Lord of the Dead, of course.
00:25:33
semendemon
When I was watching, ah i think I watched 11 Return the Living Dead variants.
00:25:41
silkdong
yeah that's so crazy is that public domain those movies now those properties
00:25:41
semendemon
And it was, I think at at that point, somebody came. No, no. It was, there was Rave to the Grave. And their their their property, their copyrights are owned by Dan O'Bannon.
00:25:55
semendemon
Return of the Living Dead. Still
Comparing Video Game and Movie Industries
00:25:57
silkdong
oh yeah yeah yeah so the original Night of the Living Dead is public domain okay
00:25:58
semendemon
I think he's still alive.
00:25:58
Steve-O
The original Night of a Living Dead, all their copyrights got all screwed up, so that is public domain.
00:26:03
semendemon
Yeah, yeah, that is.
00:26:08
semendemon
um Yeah, that...
00:26:09
silkdong
should make it We should make a musical out of it. Why not? Somebody should make a musical.
00:26:12
Steve-O
Nah, musicals suck.
00:26:12
semendemon
He's gonna fucking a blow.
00:26:15
silkdong
Someone should make a musical.
00:26:15
semendemon
Fucking shitty-ass, corny bullshit.
00:26:20
BeyBlade
oh well kate can i tell you what was a a terrible movie i watched i don't know why i did this uh so a few years ago there's a netflix movie called the babysitter starring samara weaving not bad honestly kind of a fun movie it's about
00:26:39
silkdong
She's in a lot of those types of movies, right?
00:26:41
BeyBlade
Yeah, and and this was one of like those, like i don't it was like around I think it was the same year like Ready or Not had come out.
00:26:41
silkdong
feel like. I feel like.
00:26:49
BeyBlade
And it's pretty decent. you know It's not the best movie I've ever seen, but like kind of fun. A few years ah ago, they released a sequel that apparently was like really bad.
00:27:00
BeyBlade
And I watched it. And Jenna Ortega's in it. And I feel like this is a movie where Jenna Ortega was like, I need to switch things up. Like this is, this was 2022,
00:27:11
silkdong
how old How old is this movie? Like, how old was Jenna Ortega in it?
00:27:15
silkdong
Okay, so she was like, this is still Wednesday.
00:27:17
BeyBlade
Yeah. But this was, you know, this was like post screen post.
00:27:19
silkdong
She's like, Wednesday.
00:27:23
silkdong
Post-Sabrina Carpenter video?
00:27:25
BeyBlade
Probably pre Sabrina Carpenter movie.
00:27:27
silkdong
I love that. I love her in that video. I don't know, because she's funny?
00:27:29
BeyBlade
But why is that? as that Yeah, okay.
00:27:33
silkdong
Because she has a good personality?
00:27:35
BeyBlade
yeah Really funny.
00:27:38
BeyBlade
So The Babysitter came out. so Okay, so The Babysitter came out in 2017 and Killer Queen came out in 2020. ah Killer Queen is just absolutely like one of the but of the worst movies I've seen in years.
00:27:55
BeyBlade
It's in it's like infuriatingly bad.
00:27:55
semendemon
is it Is it not interesting bad or is it like there's something else going on here bad?
00:28:01
BeyBlade
There's something else going on. Like, like it just, and it kind of makes me like want to rewatch the first one to be like, is this, it was I wrong?
00:28:03
semendemon
Whoa, o okay, I'm into that.
00:28:13
BeyBlade
Like, was that Ruby really bad? And I just don't remember it, but it's just like, there's something. Yeah. I mean, Rotten Tomato gave the first one, like a 76.
00:28:21
semendemon
off, and a 30% drop.
00:28:24
BeyBlade
This has a 46 like that. And it's the same writer, character.
00:28:32
BeyBlade
yeah, ah it's just, it's rough across the board. um But I did, I also saw, and then right in the middle Phantasm and Killer Queen, Blackphone 2.
00:28:45
Steve-O
That's the new one that's in theaters, right?
00:28:46
BeyBlade
I saw Blackphone 2.
00:28:46
semendemon
Black phone tune.
00:28:48
BeyBlade
Just like the first one. Good, not great. um
00:28:53
BeyBlade
Interesting ideas. A little silly, Lore, that doesn't quite make sense.
00:29:03
BeyBlade
But, like, not a terrible watch, you know?
00:29:05
semendemon
How's Eton Hawk?
00:29:07
BeyBlade
He... yeah I don't even know if the man was on set.
00:29:10
Steve-O
Is he the grabber?
00:29:11
semendemon
He's the grabber, babe.
00:29:11
BeyBlade
Yeah, he's the grabber. He's the grabber.
00:29:12
silkdong
Is it as good as his role in training day? Was he as good as as he was in training day?
00:29:18
BeyBlade
Oh. He blows that...
00:29:21
BeyBlade
blows that out of the water.
00:29:23
BeyBlade
um it's So there is there's one hilarious moment in this movie. Very slight spoilers. um But so he's he's not alive in the sequel.
00:29:37
BeyBlade
This is like full Freddy Krueger-esque thing.
00:29:40
Steve-O
Oh, I'm familiar. I've seen him in Fortnite.
00:29:44
semendemon
He has ice powers?
00:29:44
Steve-O
He has ice powers.
00:29:44
BeyBlade
So there's so, so wait wait, so there's a scene where
00:29:50
BeyBlade
they're like, oh, he was really good at ice skating, right? they thought Because he was like the killer.
00:29:56
BeyBlade
He was the killer at the camp that they were at.
00:30:00
BeyBlade
And then when he's like, so he's, you know, he's whatever. He's a demon ghost, whatever you want to call him. And his feet are ice skates. You know, he has like bloody ice skates. And I was like, is this supposed to be frightening?
00:30:13
Steve-O
Oh, I kind of wish... he does he have an ice axe?
00:30:14
semendemon
It's like, it's like basically they were like, what if it was Freddy, but it was his feet?
00:30:16
BeyBlade
No, no, he has to relax, but.
00:30:23
Steve-O
Oh, but what's the opposite of Freddy?
00:30:25
Steve-O
What's the opposite of fire? Ice!
00:30:28
Steve-O
Give him skate hands.
00:30:28
BeyBlade
So, um, but I will say it's like what the movie does right is it makes the characters, you know, likable, watchable and like good, you know, you know what I mean? Um, so I can't, despite that like very ridiculous scene, um, it's not really, I can't be like, Oh, this movie's bad.
00:30:52
semendemon
Would you classify yourself as a grabber guy?
00:30:55
BeyBlade
I'm a grab head. um i don't know because it's like they're trying to find the bodies that of kids he's killed and they're like that's how he'll lose his power.
00:30:57
semendemon
Grabber, graboid.
00:31:10
semendemon
But don't you think most, most of the grabber groupies really tend to like his second form more than his first?
00:31:17
semendemon
Cause I feel like that's getting more heat. Like the,
00:31:21
semendemon
the dream demon form, let's call it that.
00:31:23
BeyBlade
Yeah, I mean, it's definitely more... power i It's weird because like as a kid, I'm like, oh, Freddy's Freddy, right? Who cares? But this one, I'm like, I need a reason. I need to know why.
00:31:36
BeyBlade
And they're just like, eh, it's hell. What are you going to do? And it's like, oh, yeah, that's...
00:31:42
BeyBlade
so just him? Just he can come back?
00:31:45
semendemon
Well, Devin, I think you're, you're plenty of a grabber goal for, for,
00:31:45
BeyBlade
um But honestly... um
00:31:51
semendemon
Grabber Gobbler.
00:31:51
BeyBlade
Yeah, but honestly, like the all the performances are are pretty decent. um It's just, he kind of just does things, is kind of ineffective as as a Freddy Krueger.
00:32:05
BeyBlade
And then they're like, maybe there will be a Grabber 3. And I'm like, i can't imagine why.
00:32:07
semendemon
It's his first time. It's his first time.
00:32:10
BeyBlade
It is, actually. i mean, that's true.
00:32:12
semendemon
Freddy, though, was a little bit more practiced in his first film.
00:32:17
BeyBlade
By the time you see him in the movie, right?
00:32:18
Steve-O
yeah And just immediately, like right out the gate, entertaining.
00:32:19
BeyBlade
You've been doing it for a minute.
00:32:24
BeyBlade
And I will say it's ah it's a little overdone in the movie, but like the the dream sequences, like when the main character is like asleep and then it gets really like film grainy.
00:32:38
BeyBlade
But imagine if the film grain was turned up just enough to be distracting. Yeah. Like, it's really grainy. um But that's, the you know, that's the difference, right? That's when the character's asleep versus awake.
00:32:53
BeyBlade
And, you know, he's, pi her he picks up the character. he tries to throw them into a big ah big grill.
00:33:01
Steve-O
That's the grabbler difference.
00:33:03
BeyBlade
The grabber. yeah, that's the grabber. Yeah.
00:33:05
semendemon
traveler I gotta get that sandwich from Wawa.
00:33:09
semendemon
Let me get his pants.
00:33:13
semendemon
That's the new, new sandwich for the ah black phone too.
00:33:17
BeyBlade

semendemon
Someone loved this shirt.
00:33:59
BeyBlade
Like, he spends $120 for a same-day delivery.
00:34:03
semendemon
What did he say? It was at full capacity.
00:34:06
semendemon
The buttons. Because he was a big guy.
00:34:07
BeyBlade

00:34:13
BeyBlade

BeyBlade
You mean French friendship or whatever?
00:34:36
semendemon
Or friendship. Yes, it's what friendship should have been.
00:34:40
BeyBlade
Yeah, because there's definitely parts that are like, you you can just tell like, oh, this is like just like a skit that has been expanded.
00:34:48
BeyBlade
But there's, you know, there's there's stuff to it. And yeah, I don't know. And because it it's a lot of it's a lot of watching this character just like make terrible decisions and you're just like, please stop.
00:35:01
BeyBlade
a lot of Scott's tots, you know, a lot of that type of cringe, right?
00:35:06

Just thought about the fingerprint kit that he got.
00:35:08
BeyBlade
Dude, I love... Yeah, he spends $120 the same day delivery of the fingerprint kit.
00:35:13
semendemon

semendemon
That's so funny. That shit's funny.
00:35:19
BeyBlade
It's awesome. Yeah, shout out to the chair. Because I'll be honest, i was ah I was... I saw like two trailers and I was like, dude, I don't i don't even know what this is about. Like, it gave me no context.

00:36:04
silkdong
I read Blood Meridian in a week.
00:36:07
BeyBlade
I basically, i basic it you know, John, I basically did.
00:36:10
BeyBlade
i actually read, a yeah, i read I read I have no mouth and I must scream.
00:36:11
semendemon
do that. you told me about this, right?
00:36:16
Steve-O
Weird, Devin, I just recently kind of just did a whole like retrospective on um on AM on AM.
00:36:25
Steve-O
And yeah, that's very strange.
00:36:26
BeyBlade
Oh, really? have peaked there.
00:36:29
semendemon
Steve, you read that too?
00:36:30
BeyBlade
Well, you know, it's Halloween, you know.
00:36:31
Steve-O
I didn't read it, but like I went over like I went over someone's like playthrough of the game and they were talking about like every point in comparison of the story.
00:36:36
semendemon
Oh, the game. That's right. I forgot about that.
00:36:39
Steve-O
So that's strange, Devin.
00:36:40
BeyBlade
Well, I mean, that's kind of that's kind of what prompted it to me because I was like, I know there was a game, but I knew the game was based off the book. And like the audiobook's like four hours or something. So I was like, why we just listen to it?
00:36:51
BeyBlade
And whew, that's a bleak book.
00:36:54
semendemon
It's Elmer Reed, isn't it?
00:36:55
Steve-O
The the ah AM is voiced by the author, I believe, in the book, right?
00:36:59
semendemon
Yes. Robert Ellison.
00:37:01
semendemon
Is that his name?
00:37:01
BeyBlade
You know, though, I did read That Guy's a Nut.
00:37:04
semendemon
Yeah, he's great.
Books and Animal Actors in Films
00:37:06
BeyBlade
The author's kind of kind of a shithead, but
00:37:08
semendemon
have, I have his, I have all the short stories. Cause after I read that, I was like, oh I gotta read everything by this man. He is a lured pervert in every way, shape or form.
00:37:19
semendemon
um But that one, you know, that one short story is just, it's so bleak and so dark and just hopeless.
00:37:31
semendemon
Like, it's it's one of the darkest things I think I've ever read next to, like, Blood Meridian.
00:37:37
semendemon
That's on there, too. Jon brought that up.
00:37:39
Steve-O
yeah is that Is that the Kopech and kill yourself?
00:37:42
semendemon
Yeah, that's...
00:37:44
semendemon
That's a hell of a combo. you read that American Psycho and American Psycho and Blood Meridian and all in one sitting. That's a dark world.
00:37:55
Steve-O
Humanity is a monster.
00:37:55
semendemon
you Yeah, it's pretty brutal. um
00:37:59
BeyBlade
Yeah, like where he talks about how much he hates the guy. He's like, I hate you so much.
00:38:03
semendemon
He said that you could you could cover, if the word hate could cover every picometer thing of circuitry in my computer system. It wouldn't even come close to the true feeling that I have.
00:38:21
semendemon
And that is hate. And he just keeps saying it over and over again.
00:38:24
semendemon
Yeah, that's a great... Woo! Great story, man.
00:38:28
Steve-O
it's like bro chill chill the fuck out man
00:38:30
BeyBlade
I was like, oh, okay.
00:38:32
BeyBlade
And in a way, yeah.
00:38:33
semendemon
Steve, they made AI that was a genius, but he he was trapped. On Earth. Couldn't do anything. Didn't have any senses.
00:38:42
Steve-O
He's jealous. He's jealous.
00:38:43
semendemon
He was jealous.
00:38:43
BeyBlade
Yeah. So listen, once once we start ah covering the entire planet in fiber wire, we're in trouble.
00:38:51
semendemon
Yeah. you're gonna get a name.
00:38:52
BeyBlade
and And then Steve's going to turn into like a troglodyte.
00:38:55
semendemon
Yeah. Weird Monkey Man.
00:38:57
BeyBlade
Yeah, and then and then we're going to take his eyes.
00:39:00
Steve-O
Goddamn, did you blast lasers into my eyes, you assholes?
00:39:03
BeyBlade
Sorry, dude. That's for having sex with my girlfriend.
00:39:09
Steve-O
Devin, why did you you do all those Nazi experiments back in the day? it
00:39:14
BeyBlade
we can do. Well, we can do.
00:39:15
semendemon
We'd be stuck in the belly of the giant John AI that was created to monitor all.
00:39:21
BeyBlade
Yeah. Well, feel like John would be the one who supports us all sexually.
00:39:27
BeyBlade
To keep us all sane.
00:39:29
BeyBlade
and then And then Chris really hates John because of it. He's like, you fucking slut.
00:39:34
semendemon
You're fucking slut, you dirty bitch.
00:39:35
BeyBlade
You fucking slut, even though I also have sex with you. Yeah, he's a piece of shit.
00:39:38
semendemon
Yeah, he's pretty misogynistic.
00:39:41
Steve-O
Can I get a fucking can opener, Annie?
00:39:44
BeyBlade
But also kind of a great guy. Yeah.
00:39:46
semendemon
Really fascinating insight on what could be the darkest story ever written.
00:39:52
BeyBlade
Yeah. And it. it Yeah. And some of it did start with me going like, why? You know, like they say, oh, it's like unfilmable. And I was like, yeah, but like, why? And I was like, oh, yeah, no, that's pretty rough.
00:40:05
Steve-O
They made a comic of it.
00:40:07
BeyBlade
Yeah. Comic. And then ah yeah and again, the game.
00:40:08
semendemon
i think I think Blood Meridian is is more ah movie than that is.
00:40:15
semendemon
And that's considered unfilmable.
00:40:15
BeyBlade
But what? ah What is the because the game's like a point and click, right?
00:40:21
Steve-O
it's a point and click with lots of like weird stuff, but so supposedly, um, what they do is they kind of set up like little scenarios that am runs for each of the characters and you go through them and there is like the possibility where you do it in a way where like you like kind of like do it in like the best light of humanity.
00:40:45
Steve-O
So M feels like kind of like, like, damn it. Like, Oh, i was trying to debase you, but, you ended up finding a way to like go about it and like kind of proving me wrong.
00:40:54
semendemon
You guilt him?
00:40:55
Steve-O
There is like a very like bubbly, happy ending where it's like, Oh, you defeat him.
00:41:00
BeyBlade
are Are the characters in the game the same as the book or no?
00:41:01
Steve-O
and Yes. Yeah. It's all the same characters.
00:41:06
BeyBlade
Hey, monkey bear.
00:41:08
semendemon
I love that guy.
00:41:08
Steve-O
Like that's funny. Cause like, I literally just watched like a two, three hour. um It's like, it's called like, it's like villain of the week and they go through like all like literature villains and stuff like that. And M was like the villain of this week. So.
00:41:22
BeyBlade
Well, look at that.
00:41:23
Steve-O
Here you go. Um, I watched a new movie that came out recently. Uh, and you know what?
00:41:31
Steve-O
Let me just say out of all the movies you mentioned earlier, Devin probably has the best actor in it.
00:41:38
Steve-O
And it's a dog. Uh, I watched the, I watched the movie good boy, ah which, uh, I really liked it.
00:41:46
Steve-O
It's very short. It's an hour and 13 minutes.
00:41:50
semendemon
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm.
00:41:52
Steve-O
If I were to give it a review, I'm just going to give the review now. I'm going to make sure this spoiler free. ah I would give it a fuck being a possible good sit. um
00:42:04
BeyBlade
or Or a fuck being a possible good boy.
00:42:09
Steve-O
That sounds real kinky. Yeah.
00:42:10
BeyBlade
Well, I mean, because...
00:42:12
semendemon
I thought you... There was so much...
00:42:13
BeyBlade
Man, it's because it's a dog.
00:42:15
semendemon
I thought that one was going a tumbleweed.
00:42:18
semendemon
i really did. I thought you had that queued up, man.
00:42:19
BeyBlade
You know what? i I quit. I quit.
00:42:22
Steve-O
No, no, come back.
00:42:22
BeyBlade
How about that, the guys?
00:42:23
semendemon
Where, like, crickets...
00:42:26
Steve-O
But like, this is, this is honestly like, it is basically the premise of what if courage, the cowardly dog was in a live action setting.
00:42:38
silkdong
Yeah, that's what that's what a lot of people were saying about the movie.
00:42:40
Steve-O
How, however, it does have a, a very, uh, i was I would say it is very sad. It is a very sad movie from start to finish.
00:42:52
Steve-O
um The, ah you know, kind of the themes around it are um are interesting. um Not a spoiler, but ah it lies very heavily into like kind of like medical trauma and like kind of like living in that world.
00:43:12
Steve-O
ah But, ah you know, the there point of view for the entirety of the movie is from the dog. Like it is 100% what it claims to be. Uh, it there, my only, my only nitpick, which I is just something that I kind of like, I happen to like take in the movie and I go, Oh, that'd be kind of neat if they tried to do that is I kind of wish they made it.
00:43:23
silkdong
That's good. That's good.
00:43:35
Steve-O
So like the human dialogue was a little bit like,
00:43:40
Steve-O
warbly so like i had to like kind of take in what was going on just like visually as opposed to like listening and being like oh okay that's what's happening in this scene yeah ah but like honestly like it is tight it is good the dog is actually the director's dog and it's just just imagine that fucking play where it's like oh yeah yeah okay okay james gunn you had a hard time
00:43:47
semendemon
The exposition drop, huh? That's where I came in.
00:44:05
Steve-O
with the dog on set.
00:44:06
Steve-O
My dog is such a good dog. I can shoot an entire movie about him he'll fucking knock it out of the park. And like he does.
00:44:13
semendemon
So I actually heard the reason why it was a bit on the shorter end was because production took a really long time. They didn't want to stress the the dog out for a lot of scenes.
00:44:25
Steve-O
It was like three years of shooting this movie.
00:44:27
semendemon
Yeah. And they were like, there were certain scenes that, you know, ah if they didn't do it a certain way, it would have really impacted the dog's health, you know, and mental health.
00:44:38
Steve-O
That dog, that dog looks so frightened and concerned the entire movie.
00:44:46
Steve-O
And like, it's it honestly like just a good boy. Just a good boy.
00:44:51
BeyBlade
Is that so, but is that dog getting cause that dog got a lot of glaze, but it sounds like it's, it's well-deserved. Like he's like legitimately good in this.
00:45:00
Steve-O
Like, you know, the dog from the beginning of the thing.
00:45:02
BeyBlade
As weird as that sounds. Yeah. Yeah.
00:45:05
Steve-O
On the same level of that, but for an hour and 13 minutes.
00:45:07
semendemon
whoa I'm going to tell you something here. I think dog acting is really getting a lot better. um And I know I will point to a correlation here.
00:45:13
BeyBlade
you Sorry. I know. and
00:45:17
semendemon
um There was a film that came out, think it was two years ago. It's called Anatomy of a Fall. And the film's plot was a woman, supposedly either her husband falls out of their tallest window in their home and dies or she pushes him.
00:45:35
semendemon
And one and the the main one of the main characters is her son. And during the court case where they're trying to figure out if the mother killed the husband, the dog becomes a really important character in the film.
00:45:48
semendemon
Because at one point, the dog overdoses on something that was in the house.
00:45:54
semendemon
And they actually made, or the dog was trained to look dead. Like it had its tongue out. Like the boy was picking it up and it was completely limp.
00:46:06
semendemon
Like it was some of the best acting I've seen from an animal ever, ever.
00:46:14
semendemon
And now you bringing this up, like, I think we got, I think we got another category in the Oscars here.
00:46:20
Steve-O
Honestly, i would I'd probably watch the Oscars more often if there were dogs in the audience.
00:46:25
semendemon
Pupper, pupper awards and, and kitty cats.
00:46:30
BeyBlade
Puppers and Poochies, dude.
00:46:32
semendemon
Puppers and the pooch of the year.
00:46:34
BeyBlade
Picture of the year, dude.
00:46:35
Steve-O
Pooch of the Year.
00:46:36
semendemon
And he gets a little award and he gets dressed up.
00:46:38
Steve-O
Oh, but all right. It's going to be devastating when they get to the memorial section, though. I couldn't do that.
00:46:43
Steve-O
I couldn't do that.
00:46:47
BeyBlade
Dude, you know ruined... I mean, this is... we're We're entering just bummer territory, but every once a while, you know, you're on Instagram, and then you just scroll through, like, an Instagram update of, like, a dog.
00:47:00
BeyBlade
That you, you know, that you saw 10 years ago they're like, hey, you know, just want to let you guys know we had to put down so and so. And I'm like, oh, my God, that damn dog.
00:47:11
BeyBlade
You know, because the Internet's forever, right? Like they're forever, you know, a puppy because of that video.
00:47:17
BeyBlade
And then you're like, oh, well, my morning's just ruined.
00:47:20
Steve-O
no the worst is that but when it's like you discover that dog through like a reel and you're like oh these are so fun and you scroll a few through them and then like the third one's like hey guys i just need to tell you that um cappuccino passed away and
00:47:37
semendemon
Not cappuccino.
00:47:39
BeyBlade
like, oh, wow. Wonderful.
00:47:41
semendemon
I'll tell you, I get i get bumped from my dogs on my phone. Like old dogs. They're like, oh, five years or ten years ago, remember? And I'm like,
00:47:51

Steve-O
It'll be like, hey, remember this day, like, three years ago?
00:48:04
Steve-O
And I'm like, that's the day he died! That's the last photo I took of him!
00:48:06
semendemon
Yeah, dude. That's like, I have a Christmas video that came up of Buddy opening up his Christmas gifts and he died like literally two weeks after that.
00:48:17

And I was like, it worked.
00:48:23
Steve-O
Dude, there's some real sick, that that's M, that's M for fucking, I have no mouth.
00:48:26
semendemon
Yeah. That's how they control us.
00:48:31
semendemon
It's manipulation. Emotional manipulation.
00:48:35
Steve-O
This small hairy creature, this brings you joy. Well, I hate it as much as it brought you joy, Chris Gallande.
00:48:43
semendemon
but Look at this last image. You will never see him again. do this again.

00:49:10
Steve-O
Uh, cause the thing is you're rooting for this dog the entire time.

00:49:27
BeyBlade
And it's frustrating because I am so curious, but like I don't want to...
00:49:31
BeyBlade
I feel like that's almost the reason to watch it, right?
00:49:34
semendemon
yeah part of it it's um i'm yeah that that you're absolutely right devon
00:49:35
BeyBlade
You know? like I don't want to know until I see the movie.
00:49:40
Steve-O
lot of jump scares. So if like you're prone to jump scares, there are jump scares in this.
00:49:44
BeyBlade
Does the dog just bark?
00:49:46
BeyBlade
Does that not happen a lot?
00:49:48
Steve-O
ah No, that's the thing that that the dog doesn't often bark. Like, that's the thing. He's like very well behaved.
00:49:54
semendemon
Yeah, dogs don't.
00:49:56
semendemon
Yeah, a lot of dogs don't.
00:49:57
Steve-O
There are dog barks in it, but. um the The primary dog is like so well behaved that that's like a plot point that he does not bark.
00:50:08
semendemon
Wow. I gotta see this.
00:50:11
Steve-O
I'd say check it out. It's honestly, it's really perfect for spooky season, so.

Steve-O
Say happy Halloween, you goddamn liberal bastard. You keep calling it spooky season.
00:50:27
semendemon
They don't want us to call it

00:50:36
semendemon

John wants the hard R.
00:50:43
BeyBlade
i i need hard I need my dog movies to be hard
00:50:46
Steve-O
Yeah, John wanted some fucking Arthur Clown Mayhem.
00:50:47
semendemon
In that hard NC-17. and c seventeen
00:50:57
silkdong
I'm like one of those people that eat eat too much spicy food their whole life that they can't they can't taste anything.
00:51:03
silkdong
It has to be ultra spicy.
00:51:03
semendemon
Dude, welcome to my world. That the truth.
00:51:06
silkdong
That's you with movies. Ha ha.
00:51:09
semendemon
Sad but true. You're always chasing that next fix. and my and that That dragon that's always eluding you.
00:51:21
BeyBlade
Well, yeah, and John, you were with us when we watched ah you know Funnel 2 for earlier in the week.
00:51:26
silkdong
Yeah, I never watched i've never watched a Day of the Dead before. so
00:51:31
semendemon
data That is, uh, I listen, man, I'll be real.
00:51:34
silkdong
i was really in i was really into it.
00:51:34
semendemon
Like of the four
00:51:36
silkdong
And I think it's because it was the Resident Evil... like clear influence from that movie.
00:51:41
semendemon
obvious, right. Um, of the four, like these four movies, night day or dawn day and return. Like, I, I don't know which one I love more.
00:51:51
semendemon
Like I, it's like, which arm or leg do I want to rip off?
00:51:54
silkdong
Why wasn't it called Day of the Living Dead and Dawn of the Living Dead?
00:51:58
Steve-O
ah Because they had a real nasty breakup. So George Romero only got to keep the day dawn.
00:52:04
Steve-O
and Like they had like the time of day while um who was the producer or the.
00:52:11
Steve-O
Yeah, I don't know if it was Dan O'Bannon, but it was um the producer from Night of Living Dead got to keep the living dead part.
00:52:12
semendemon
Isn't that him?
00:52:20
Steve-O
um I'll look that up real quick because he's the guy who did the remake a night of Night Living Dead from the 90s. That was nice.
00:52:25
semendemon
Oh, Carl Hardman.
00:52:28
Steve-O
yeah I think so. I think that was goddamn... No, ah John Russo. I think it is.
00:52:34
semendemon
John Rousseau.
00:52:37
semendemon
Well, I will say out of those four films, I really love them all. And Day is, um I don't know. Like watched that. I think I've seen that the most, believe it or not.
00:52:49
semendemon
I want, I could just, it's like, it's cozy. I'll describe it.
00:52:55
Steve-O
It's strange because it is like... You are inside of a salt mine.
00:53:03
Steve-O
And you're like tucked away from all of the nightmare stuff happening on the surface. But it's but it's bad in there, man.
00:53:11
semendemon
Oh, it's awful.
00:53:11
Steve-O
It's bad in there.
00:53:12
semendemon
It's awful. um But there is those like little glimmers with with the fly boy in this movie where they have their their little RV set up in the cave.
00:53:25
semendemon
Like it's just, i don't know. It's very, hate to say comforting.
00:53:31
semendemon
I'll describe it.
00:53:33
semendemon
I fucking love Bub.
00:53:35
BeyBlade
No, you know, Chris, yeah, Chris said he's like, I don't know which one I like more. I was like, dude, you're crazy. And then i walk and again, I hadn't seen it like five years. And I was like, damn, Chris might be right. This might be better.
00:53:46
BeyBlade
Like it's. It's a fun's not the word, but it's it's just a good watch, you know.
00:53:52
silkdong
yeah it's Yeah, it was a good watch, man.
00:53:53
semendemon
It is a good watch. It is.
00:53:55
BeyBlade
And and some of the line reads in this movie are insane, like.
00:53:59
semendemon
It is lot of hammy, hammy line reads.
00:54:01
BeyBlade
Yeah, but it's like it's not terrible.
00:54:02
silkdong
So fucking what? You're stronger than me. So fucking what? So fucking what?
00:54:05
semendemon
I'm running this monkey farm now, Frankenstein!
00:54:10
BeyBlade
yeah yeah that guy is just like what if I was just a complete psychopath and I just never stop I never let up yeah yeah so
00:54:17
Steve-O
is that fucking joseph palato like absolute lunatic oh my god
00:54:28
BeyBlade
and yeah honestly like the gore the kills and the gore are better in this than any of the other the the previous two
00:54:34
semendemon
Oh, they are wonderful.
00:54:35
silkdong
what's yeah What's your consensus on the remake of Dawn of the Dead?
00:54:39
semendemon
I don't hate it
00:54:40
BeyBlade
i I still think the remake's very good.
00:54:42
semendemon
yeah i don't...
00:54:45
semendemon
James Gunn wrote it.
00:54:45
silkdong
Oh, and Zack Snyder directed it?
00:54:46
BeyBlade
Well, he he wrote it, yeah.
00:54:49
semendemon
it's it's It's solid. It's fine. i I like the original more, though. I can't... like I really love the original. I love how raw it is and just kind of fun and kind of sad, too.
00:55:04
semendemon
like It's a little sadder than the Zack Snyder one. I like that. I like all that very much. Yeah, the Zack Snyder one is like fun.
00:55:15
semendemon
I think Dawn is more like emotional and uh i dig that i dig that more and it's also a little bit more of a commentary about like capitalism and what is truly belongs to you what does that mean you know like that's i think that's a cool conversation and uh and day is just like um
00:55:43
semendemon
if like every aspect institution you can think of is just gone and what it remains is insane or, violent and weird, like it's just no all the things that we relied on and trusted are, are gone, you know, but then, you know, as the fly boy said it in this movie, like it's just a big tombstone down here.
00:56:09
semendemon
Like, why would you want to stay here?
00:56:09
BeyBlade
Yeah, like an 18-mile long tombstone, tombstone.
00:56:13
semendemon
oobestone yeah um it's just no like there there's a point where you have to keep fighting and there's a point where you're just like fuck it like this is the way it is yeah it's over
00:56:23
silkdong
Yeah, what's the point? Where will you go?
00:56:25
BeyBlade
Yeah, he's like...
00:56:26
silkdong
Where are you gonna go?
00:56:27
BeyBlade
Yeah, and he talks about, he's like, we have all the secrets.
00:56:27
silkdong
What are you gonna do?
00:56:30
BeyBlade
He's like, but like who who cares? Doesn't matter.
00:56:32
silkdong
Yeah, we have a microfilm with tax returns and costs for things, but...
00:56:37
BeyBlade
Yeah. And Tom Savini's on another level in this one, I think.
00:56:41
semendemon
yeah those the disembowelments are incredible
00:56:42
BeyBlade
Because some of this...
00:56:44
BeyBlade
Wait, there was... results So we're we're watching it, Steve, right? And then, like, it's it's one of the characters just ripped apart their head, pulls away.
00:56:52
BeyBlade
And John's like, Chris, how'd they do this? And Chris just said, a man died that day. Like, like that's how they did it.
00:56:57
silkdong
Because it was so good. Like, for like, what?
00:57:00
BeyBlade
That's just a man who ripped apart, bro.
00:57:01
silkdong
When did this come out?
00:57:06
semendemon
It's just so weird that his head being pulled off, it's like his vocal cords are being stretched, so his voice gets higher, and you're like, that makes a lot of sense.
00:57:15
silkdong
It was so, yeah, it was so cool.
00:57:17
semendemon
There's a lot of detail, and it's very... The end scene is pure spectacle. like It is just gore for gore and gore.
00:57:29
silkdong
Yeah, the the the payoff was was awesome.
00:57:31
silkdong
Especially seeing seeing all the zombies come in and everything on the elevator.
00:57:35
semendemon
It's probably the best payoff.
00:57:36
silkdong
Like, that shit is just so good.
00:57:38
semendemon
It's probably the best payoff ending of all of all three. you know like i I think the ending of Night i think maybe edges it out a little bit just because it's so genre-defining.
00:57:48
silkdong
And we had Bub. Bub got his... ah He got his shot, too.
00:57:54
semendemon
Yeah, Bub is...
00:57:54
silkdong
Literally and figuratively.
00:57:56
semendemon
and they're like this Again, I guess like this is more of a heartfelt one because I actually really cared about Bub.
00:58:01
semendemon
like I always did. I think he's a like a heartfelt character.
00:58:06
silkdong
Steve, why is every movie Symphony, or the Ninth Symphony, by ah by Beethoven? It's always that that comes in.
00:58:15
semendemon
It's intelligence.
00:58:16
silkdong
No, just every in every movie, it's like Beethoven's Ninth every time.
00:58:19
Steve-O
a banger, because it's a banger, man.
00:58:21
semendemon
pure Pure intelligence, right?
00:58:24
semendemon
That's what I always think when I hear it. but What that means. That means they know what that is.
00:58:28
silkdong
Well, that's the one Beethoven... made when he was like um like almost entirely deaf too so there's some symbolism there yeah when he's just doing in his head yeah dude and that and that's like my thing though Steve like the the games that everybody loves clearly take stuff from from these movies so why can't the movies kind of follow suit too you know
00:58:35
BeyBlade
where he was just winging it.
00:58:36
Steve-O
Pressing his head against the floor. Dude, ah it's a shame because George Romero was at one point supposed to make a Resident Evil movie back in the day.
00:58:57
semendemon
Well, I got to think inherently like he didn't want to do it. Like I, I think like he came up with this,
00:59:03
silkdong
Too much pressure.
00:59:04
Steve-O
he wrote us He wrote a script. He he directed a commercial for, I think, Resident Evil 2.
00:59:11
semendemon
I think, though, that script is so wildly veered off of the actual plot.
00:59:16
Steve-O
it's very different.
00:59:17
Steve-O
ah Chris Redfield is a, I believe he's a bird expert. And he's just joining his girlfriend, Jill.
00:59:21
silkdong
ah It's perfect. Perfect for me.
00:59:25
Steve-O
ah document ah A documentary came out this year called George Romero's Resident Evil.
00:59:29
semendemon
Yeah, I watched it.
00:59:29
Steve-O
um I've never seen it. I think it's free on YouTube.
00:59:33
semendemon
Yeah, I definitely watched it.
00:59:34
Steve-O
I don't know if it's any good.
00:59:35
semendemon
it was um it's It's eye-opening because I think it was at this point, and and I think he even realized, like that i'm like it's the tail it's the snake it's a snake eating its tail.
00:59:43
silkdong
He's just making his own movie.
00:59:47
semendemon
you know like there's I don't know. like he didn't seem like he had much to offer to it.
00:59:54
semendemon
And I think that script being so wildly different was him being like, If I'm going to do this, I'm just going to do it my way. And that's it. Like, I don't know how else to do it.
01:00:07
semendemon
um And I think that was a problem. Like, I don't think that he was the right fit for that. Because it's just, it's too recursive.
01:00:15
semendemon
It's too, yeah, it's Ouroboros, you know?
01:00:19
Steve-O
he's He's strange because it's like he is definitely um he was never really a Hollywood guy.
01:00:29
Steve-O
And I think that's kind of some of the stuff that I love about Romero is like, he was kind of just like, he he was just like an indie filmmaker through and through. Like, sure. He had some big projects, but like at the end of the day, like he kind of just stuck with like being a dude from Pittsburgh who liked to like make movies. So.
01:00:47
semendemon
I think it showed like that amusement park movie that he made.
01:00:52
semendemon
i think that showed like a sincerity to like, cause he made that specifically for older people.
01:00:59
semendemon
And it was supposed to be this amazing allegory about what life is like as an older person.
01:01:05
semendemon
And it's basically like you're in amusement park and you know, nobody and everything's loud and abrasive and you don't know where to go to get food.
01:01:14
semendemon
Like it's just a mess and it's chaotic.
01:01:18
semendemon
So it showed, yeah, like, you're right. He was always kind of just a genuine, like, I'm going to try to help people in this regard. Like, where where who else would make ah ah a PSA movie about elderly people?
01:01:34
semendemon
Like, and it's, I respect the hell out of the guy. And I think he, I think there was a certain point, too, where he got older and it's just, he didn't want to make movies anymore.
01:01:44
Steve-O
Yeah, no, dude, I remember ah meeting George Romero at ah in Cherry Hill at Monster Mania.
01:01:52
Steve-O
And that was when we were making the Night of the Living Dead, the musical. And I remember like going up and like talking with him about that. And as we were doing that, some lady came out of nowhere and was like, George, you got to stop with all the running zombies. And he's like, I don't do that. That's not me.
01:02:14
Steve-O
She was like literally reading him the riot act and he was just like, so done with it. He was just like, so done.
01:02:20
Steve-O
And I was like, this poor man, he is just like in his eighties, but like
01:02:24
silkdong
ah Getting lambasted by fans from wrong information too.
01:02:29
Steve-O
lambasted in like people with slipknot shirts. Like, come on, you're talking to like Hollywood, like, or not even Hollywood, but like, like film, like, like legendary, like status.
01:02:39
semendemon
Yeah, yeah. And I think that's... I think he was done with it. like Sort of like John Carpenter is now, right?
01:02:45
semendemon
Like, I just don't... But he...
01:02:47
Steve-O
Although John Carpenter has always been 80. like Even when he was 30, he was an eight year old man somehow.
01:02:53
semendemon
It's, ah you know, people just get they get sick of that grind of the industry. and Yeah, wears you down. Well, I love all those movies so much, and I'm glad you guys like Day of the Dead, because that's...
01:03:08
semendemon
They're just all great.
01:03:09
silkdong
i really I really liked it. I'm kind of disappointed I never watched it before.
01:03:11
semendemon
They're all great.
01:03:14
silkdong
Maybe it's because...
01:03:15
semendemon
ah Night gets a lot of praise, which it should.
01:03:15
silkdong
There's so many of them. Yeah.
01:03:18
semendemon
like It's a fucking great movie, but like yeah, those other sequels are great too. like there's They're all great. And then Return Living Dead. That's... That's just...
01:03:29
Steve-O
So you said you did a double feature.
01:03:31
Steve-O
So I imagine you watched like two living dead movies, like back to back.
01:03:36
Steve-O
Oh, Oh, what was, what was the other one?
01:03:37
semendemon
No. Oh, no, sir.
01:03:38
BeyBlade
i mean, maybe, kind of.
01:03:41
semendemon
You would be wrong in assuming we watched another Living Dead or Dawn of the Dead or Day of the Dead. No, we watched the story of Ricky O.
01:03:52
silkdong
ah Chris kind of just snuck it in there. He just started playing it without even saying anything.
01:03:56
semendemon
I said this, I'm going to play you guys out with Ricky O. That's what I think.
01:04:00
BeyBlade
It's funny because I went to the bathroom because I had a, you know, just went to the bathroom and I come out and I'm like, oh, Ricky O's on. and And Chris, to be fair, Chris does this. so He'll put something on.
01:04:12
BeyBlade
And yeah, it kind of does play out.
01:04:14
silkdong
Just slide it in.
01:04:14
BeyBlade
But was like, oh, and everybody was just was still sitting.
01:04:15
silkdong
Just slide it in.
01:04:18
BeyBlade
So I was like, well, I remember when Steve showed me this years ago. And I was like, I'm always down to watch Ricky O, dude.
01:04:23
silkdong
Well, they take you, they grab you by the dick in the, in the opening scene.
01:04:27
silkdong
You're just like, they give you all the world building stuff.
01:04:31
semendemon
a lot out the way.
01:04:33
silkdong
And then this dude's talking about fucking bullets in his chest being souvenirs. I'm like, yeah, I'm locked in. Give me, give me one of those Zins, Chris, and I'll, and I'll lock in and and stay, stay a while.
01:04:45
Steve-O
It's the cinematic equivalent of sin.
01:04:47
semendemon
dude, that was pretty close, I have to say.
01:04:48
BeyBlade
a Yo, by the way, I watched, I literally watched a ah bartender just pop us in over the weekend. Like,
01:04:56
silkdong
Oh, did you ask him about it?
01:04:58
BeyBlade
No, it was ah it was like a brunch bartender or something. And she just went and then reached in and popped this in and then just went like just went back to it. And I was like, that chick's locked in.
01:05:09
silkdong
It's that easy, dog.
01:05:13
BeyBlade
of that but she was locked in, dude.
01:05:13
silkdong
It's that easy. you can't You can't do that with a cigarette or with a vape, you know?
01:05:19
semendemon
You get that lightheaded feeling? Oh yeah, you're in, babe.
01:05:22
silkdong
And then you're just like, boom, I'm i'm good, you know? focus
01:05:28
semendemon
Anywho, fellows liked your Ricky O's. A lot of gratuitous violence and and gore.
01:05:37
silkdong
a lot of ah A lot of Enter the Dragon references too. So many of them.
01:05:42
BeyBlade
Yeah. Yeah. his His signature moves, licking licking his own blood.
01:05:46
silkdong
Licking his own blood. were just like, you know what?
01:05:47
BeyBlade
That's how you know he's awake.
01:05:49
silkdong
We like that part in Enter the Dragon. Let's do it four times in this movie.
01:05:54
semendemon
Each time it was effective, um he got a lot stronger.
01:05:57
silkdong
Oh yeah, for sure.
01:06:00
semendemon
um i think there's also like the fact that he fought off a poison in his body by punching his chest. It's also something that's error is that it's very overlooked.
01:06:12
silkdong
I love that shit.
01:06:14
semendemon
um Just a wild... I guess that's what the manga's like, but man, what a wild fucking movie.
01:06:20
silkdong
Oh yeah, it's so good.
01:06:21
semendemon
pure Pure spectacle, ultra-violence.
01:06:23
BeyBlade
ah I think I was talking about this previously, but a friend of mine said, I can't stop thinking about it. And she said she unearthed like a little bit of the anime.
01:06:34
silkdong
Oh shit, she she's she's locked she's locked in.
01:06:35
BeyBlade
so I found a clip of the anime.
01:06:37
BeyBlade
She's like, she was locked in. Yeah.
01:06:39
silkdong
She's got three Zins in her mouth right now, just just fucking not sleeping.
01:06:42
semendemon
um'm I'm kind of... I'm shocked that it hasn't been remade in any way. Like a live action.
01:06:47
BeyBlade
Yeah. I mean, but then again, like why it's kind of perfect as it is, you know,
01:06:50
silkdong
Yeah, it's art, Chris.
01:06:52
semendemon
no no, no, no.
01:06:52
silkdong
Yeah, was the has was the Mona Lisa remade?
01:06:55
silkdong
I don't think so.
01:06:55
semendemon
I'm not telling you... i'm not saying that it should. i'm just saying I'm surprised that it hasn't been.
01:07:00
silkdong
that that That someone hasn't tried to do it.
01:07:03
semendemon
Yeah. I mean, it's...
01:07:04
silkdong
Well, the Raid Redemption is kind of the same thing.
01:07:04
semendemon
Yeah, a little bit.
01:07:10
silkdong
A little less disemboweling and shit, but you know.
01:07:15
semendemon
no no uh exploding a man's head none of that not yet
01:07:16
silkdong
Self-disemboweling to use your intestine as a lethal weapon, yes.
01:07:20
BeyBlade
yeah oh oh having tendon trouble just tie it off
01:07:24
silkdong
Oh yeah, just use your teeth and tie it off.
01:07:27
semendemon
Evan that's your favorite scene right
01:07:29
BeyBlade
yeah that uh that like had just stuck with me the first time and probably once a month I think about that scene and then I saw it again I was like
01:07:41
silkdong
You wake up in the middle of the night you're just like, what the fuck?
01:07:43
BeyBlade
i just like I'm like, God, that was one of the gnarliest things I've ever seen.
01:07:46
silkdong
I wish they would do this in UFC when this happens.
01:07:49
BeyBlade
Because once i did once I learned about tendons, I was like, oh, that's way worse.
01:07:49
silkdong
Like, they just do it.
01:07:54
semendemon
I think the scene that that stuck with me longest since Steve showed me this was the the intestine strangling.
01:08:02
semendemon
like That goes so fucking hard.
01:08:04
BeyBlade
Yeah, that I forgot about.
01:08:04
silkdong
No, because you're kind of like, what is he doing? Is he just like, is he... Is he fucking doing seppuku right now? Kind of.
01:08:13
semendemon
He had a knife.
01:08:13
silkdong
But he's, like Denzel, oh like Denzel, he's going on with something.
01:08:14
semendemon
He could have fought him with it.
01:08:18
silkdong
he's got He's going on with something.
01:08:19
semendemon
He literally had a weapon in his hand he could have stabbed him with, where he's like,
01:08:23
silkdong
Nah, sometimes it's about sending a message, Chris. That was the message that guy wanted to send. But man, the the movie really had everything, man.
01:08:30
semendemon
Wonderful. It sure did, didn't it?
01:08:33
silkdong
is it was very like It was very much a live action anime, I would say. Like, it Seemed like it.
01:08:39
semendemon
i i Absolutely. like It's so stylish, and it's so over the top.
01:08:42
silkdong
Just change the, change the prison to like a high school. mean, we got something, you know, make, make the settings of school.
01:08:47
semendemon
we were Yeah, I was saying it kind of looked like... It looked like the Buffy High School. In scenes.
01:08:55
semendemon
Because there's all this open...
01:08:55
BeyBlade
Yeah. They're hanging out. Like it's the high school, like instead of a prison, like they're just like chilling.
01:09:04
semendemon
You know, they get their little adventures with flutes and such.
01:09:10
semendemon
he's aly He went to school for flute, man. Yeah.
01:09:12
silkdong
it so it was like... was solid storytelling, too, I must say. I'm not trolling either. like Because I'm like, why is he so pissed off about opium? And then you find out.
01:09:27
silkdong
They were flying drones.
01:09:27
semendemon
Girl took a header.
01:09:29
silkdong
They were flying drones and fell in love. And then she died because she jumped off a building. Because...
01:09:36
semendemon
She ran off a building.
01:09:37
BeyBlade
jump trick, man.
01:09:37
semendemon
There's a difference.
01:09:38
BeyBlade
It's kind of unclear, yeah.
01:09:40
semendemon
there Jump is like I have intent.
01:09:44
semendemon
Running is like, ah!
01:09:44
silkdong
She just, it's like she didn't she didn't see that the building ends at that point, just ran.
01:09:50
silkdong
She thought it was the street.
01:09:52
BeyBlade
And not to mention, like, when the body hits the ground, because it's not, like, overly gratuitous, but it's up it's a thick body that hits the it's the cement, you know?
01:10:01
semendemon
Yeah. yeah yeah
01:10:04
semendemon
Makes that weird slap noise. yeah
01:10:06
BeyBlade
Yeah, it kind of rules.
01:10:06
semendemon
It's cool. It's a rad fucking movie. um And more people should watch it and try to do the things in it.
01:10:15
BeyBlade
Put it on Tubi or something.
01:10:18
semendemon
Yeah, put on Tubi.
01:10:18
Steve-O
that shit on 2B. That's a 2B.
01:10:20
BeyBlade
that shit on Tubi, dude.
01:10:21
semendemon
I had a sweet ass dub. It would fit right in him, Tubi.
01:10:25
semendemon
I don't have the sub version, though. Did we watch the sub version?
01:10:29
BeyBlade
Nah, we watched the dub, dude.
01:10:29
semendemon
I don't think we did. No, no, no.
01:10:31
semendemon
Steve, when we watched it, was it subs? I can't remember.
01:10:36
Steve-O
I don't remember either.
01:10:38
semendemon
Yeah, it had to be the dub. had to be.
01:10:41
Steve-O
I feel like the dub makes it more ridiculous.
01:10:43
semendemon
Yeah, like it adds to it. I think it needs the dub.
01:10:45
BeyBlade
Because it has that, because that movie was, even though it's like Japanese manga, it was, the movie was Chinese, right? It was shot in China.
01:10:57
BeyBlade
It has like the Chinese movie, Chinese Kung Fu style dubbing for sure.
01:11:01
semendemon
I want to say yes. I really don't know.
01:11:05
BeyBlade
China, China knows ball.
01:11:06
semendemon
Felt like a triad.
01:11:08
semendemon
That was the triad, right?
01:11:08
silkdong
they really They really got the most beautiful man to play Ricky O as well. like he was very I was very like mesmerized by yeah by his beauty the whole time.

BeyBlade
Yeah, he's a gorgeous dude.

silkdong
He's a good looking guy, dude.

Do you think Ricky O would lose the man, though?
01:11:48
BeyBlade
Yeah, no way. He fucking, he stomps it, man.
01:11:50
semendemon
He would punch through him.
01:11:54
Steve-O
It Man is like the pinnacle of like human power.
01:11:58
Steve-O
Ricky O goes beyond.
01:12:01

It's called like Dawson or something. i forget what it's called in the movie, but he's got it.
01:12:05
silkdong
Oh, Steve, I have to say, though, there was one part where I had to turn away and it was when they shoved razor blades in his mouth.
01:12:15
silkdong
i was like, i all right, all right.
01:12:17
semendemon
I remember you hit me because I was eating a piece of pizza at the time.
01:12:17
silkdong

01:12:21
silkdong
Chris was like, yeah, this is just normal.
01:12:24

Halo and Xbox's Strategic Shifts
01:12:51
silkdong
Xbox died today. Time of death, Devin?
01:12:52
semendemon
Oh, that's right.
01:12:53
silkdong
What was the time of death?
01:12:54
BeyBlade
Oh, time of death Friday at 3 p.m.
01:12:55
silkdong
Xbox on Halo Day? Yeah, Friday, Friday, 5 p.m.
01:12:57
BeyBlade
No, Friday, 5 p.m. Eastern.
01:12:59
silkdong
Eastern, Halo Day.
01:13:02
BeyBlade
Halo, rest in peace.
01:13:02
silkdong
Time of death for Xbox. Rest in peace.
01:13:05
silkdong
Oh, so, ah yeah let me yeah.
01:13:07
silkdong
Let me preface this, because I went to a Halloween party for one of Owen's classmates on Saturday, and there was a cool dad there that was wearing a Master Chief helmet.
01:13:19
silkdong
So I was like, yeah.
01:13:19
silkdong
i was like, what's up, dude? I love your helmet. He's like, yeah. was like, have you played, like, recently? He's like, nah, just, like, the old ones. I'm like, you heard that, you know, i was like, you heard that they're releasing, re-releasing Halo 1 on um PlayStation now.
01:13:36
silkdong
And he's like, oh, I guess Game Pass must be doing so well that they're doing it.
01:13:41
silkdong
I was like ah was like, I don't know, man. i was like ah was like, maybe they're not doing as well and they need to make money. So that's why they're doing this. So it's weird but ah when you talk to somebody that's not like, yeah, that's not like locked in, like zinned up on like what's what's going on in the in the video game industry.
01:14:03
silkdong
Because they don't know. So it makes me lead to believe, I don't know, maybe Xbox might be okay, just because you know the general public just... If Game Pass is just a casual general public thing now, that and people just think it's it's a good deal, then maybe there is something to it.
01:14:22
BeyBlade
but you Like, they think it's a big deal or they don't think it's a big deal?
01:14:25
silkdong
Like, they think it they think it's a good deal. So, like, you know...
01:14:30
silkdong
Like, still, yeah, like, the cat like casuals, you know?
01:14:31
BeyBlade
I mean, I guess. like it's like But if he doesn't know, it's like, do you know it's $30 a month?
01:14:39
BeyBlade
Because I feel like he'd be like, oh, what?
01:14:39
silkdong
Yeah, i didn't that We didn't go that deep.
01:14:41
BeyBlade
That's not even trying to be a shithead about It's just like, yeah, you know, I wish it wasn't $30 a month.
01:14:48
BeyBlade
That's a rough... that's a rough
01:14:52
BeyBlade
It's a rough amount of money. But no. So ah yeah, I was ah it was Friday and I was I was like stuck in the office. There was like kind of no one there. And, um you know, 5 p.m. And of course, I got to get ready.
01:15:06
BeyBlade
I went to the gym and all that. But by the time I'm all set up and I open my phone, the first thing I see is like a GameSpot review. That's like I tried Halo. ah So it's a it's a re-release.
01:15:22
BeyBlade
of the first Halo game. So it's built from the ground up, quote unquote.
01:15:27
silkdong
Oh my god, yeah, Last of Us built from the ground up.
01:15:29
BeyBlade
Yeah. So so it kind it kind of is and it kind of isn't, right?
01:15:33
BeyBlade
So from what my understanding is, is um you know, the first remake or whatever, remaster,
01:15:40
silkdong
Yeah, they already they had already remastered it for Master Chief Collection.
01:15:42
BeyBlade
Yeah, but that had the toggle, right? That had the toggle where you could like click a button and it would go from old graphics to new graphics.
01:15:49
BeyBlade
This is remade with Unreal Engine 5, which is
01:15:56
BeyBlade
yeah People seem not super comfortable with it.
01:16:00
BeyBlade
And also, so apparently it's still built on the bones of like the original coding. So in order to keep that like Halo feel.
01:16:09
silkdong
But isn't that necessarily what the other one, what the other remake was too?
01:16:13
silkdong
Like, cause you could swap.
01:16:14
BeyBlade
Yeah, but but this one but this one has things where it's like he can sprint and he zooms, you know, he can zoom in with the assault rifle. And like the Warthog can explode and stuff like that.
01:16:26
BeyBlade
But like whatever movement, they're like, that's like the original code. Like the Warthog, that's why the Warthog feels exactly the same, right?
01:16:33
silkdong
You know where my mind's going, Demit? Like, what a fucking waste of resources. Because they they all all they have to do is read is just release Master Chief Collection on on PlayStation 5.
01:16:43
BeyBlade
Yeah, but why do that when you can when you get sell two, three and reach
01:16:45
silkdong
No, but... Yeah, yeah, and that and no no and and that's where that's where I'm going. It's like, they're just gonna fucking slow roll it out. like Or Master Chief Collection won't... Like, that'll be the one that that won't come out on PlayStation, you know?
01:16:55
BeyBlade
Yeah. and Yeah. And I'm not going to lie.
01:16:58
silkdong
It's such a waste.
01:16:59
BeyBlade
and This is going to sound like full-blown hater, but like the video I watched was like, yeah, it, uh, it, it was a, it was a work in progress like demo, but they're like, yeah, uh, it definitely didn't run at a smooth 60. It was hitching.
01:17:15
BeyBlade
And some of it like look like shit still. Like, I don't, did you, did you guys like see the videos?
01:17:22
silkdong
Yeah, I did. And I see what you're saying, but like... This goes back to like me saying... oh just why did like Why waste resources to even do this...
01:17:32
silkdong
When it could have just been...
01:17:35
silkdong
The original remake of of the original game anyway.
01:17:38
BeyBlade
Yeah, and then and then the the real shocker is it's ah it's called Halo Campaign Evolved, which confirms that there's no there's no like PvP multiplayer.
01:17:44
silkdong
Yeah, which is so fucking... oh Gross.
01:17:49
semendemon
Wait, so you're telling me Master Chief's running for office?
01:17:56
silkdong
What is, no, what's kind of cool though, what's kind of cool, Devin, though, is that they're adding four player campaign mode.
01:17:56
BeyBlade
he's He's an independent. He's green. Green party.
01:18:01
silkdong
That's actually kind of cool.
01:18:02
BeyBlade
yeah I thought it was two player.
01:18:04
silkdong
No, thought it was four.
01:18:04
Steve-O
I think it's four player.
01:18:05
Steve-O
I think it's four player.
01:18:05
BeyBlade
Okay, it could be four.
01:18:06
silkdong
Yeah, they said four. Which is actually kind of cool, but it's also Halo 1. And if they're just built off of the bones of Halo 1, then it's like, how, like, you know.
01:18:13
BeyBlade
Yeah. like Like it has some of the things, like, again, you can sprint, you can kind of zoom in with some of your guns. the The vehicles will explode. You can fly the Banshee, like the Wraith or the Banshee, whatever it's called.
01:18:29
BeyBlade
um Like that stuff's cool. But like at the same time, this is the new Halo, the game, the 25 year old Halo game.
01:18:33
silkdong
Why? This is the big thing? Yeah, this is the big thing.
01:18:37
BeyBlade
a twenty five year old halo game Not 10.
01:18:40
silkdong
And it's like, did they even...
01:18:41
BeyBlade
not Like the 25-year-old Halo game.
01:18:43
silkdong
Dude, don't even know anymore, Steve, but did they ever release um multiplayer campaign mode for Halo Infinite? Because I know that was a thing.
01:18:51
BeyBlade
No, they never did.
01:18:52
Steve-O
I don't think so.
01:18:52
BeyBlade
No, they walked...
01:18:53
BeyBlade
They never... Yeah.
01:18:55
Steve-O
Damn, those bastards.
01:18:55
silkdong
And that's the thing. like that was That was the fucking game where you wanted to have four-player campaign, not a game that was originally designed
01:19:02
silkdong
not have it you know so it's yeah it's just like it's just the backwards bullshit again by microsoft
01:19:04
semendemon
It's like they did the opposite again.
01:19:09
BeyBlade
And end like it's just like, listen, we all like Halo, right? I like Halo.
01:19:15
BeyBlade
that's a That's a good game.
01:19:17
BeyBlade
Halo 1 is a fun game.
01:19:18
semendemon
I'm... I do not like...
01:19:19
Steve-O
Chris disagrees. Chris says no.
01:19:20
BeyBlade
Well, Chris doesn't, but it's like, that's that's what i have to look forward to in 2026 with the Halo franchise is another, like, listen, make fun of Last of Us all you want.
01:19:22
semendemon
I don't like Halo.
01:19:31
BeyBlade
I get it. But like, at least Naughty Dog is also working on you know, ah heretic profit, right? Like that was pretty much right down the the pipeline.
01:19:45
BeyBlade
This is all 343 has been working. It feels like it. Like, unless they're going to announce like, oh, it all and you know the campaign. I'm sorry, you know the multiplayer is either one, non-existent, or two, going to be sold to you separately.
01:20:00
BeyBlade
And yeah, it's coming to PlayStation, but it's like,
01:20:03
BeyBlade
It's kind of like when gear Gears came to PlayStation. it's like, yeah, it's cool. like I've played Gears 1 four times at this point in various forms. So like yeah, like maybe I'll check it out maybe, but like I don't think it's going to blow up the world.
01:20:19
BeyBlade
like I don't think Halo 1 is going to sell insane numbers. I also don't know what they're going to price it at. like $70 seems far too much.
01:20:32
silkdong
anything above 20, anything above $20 now is too much.
01:20:36
BeyBlade
Yeah. oh Anything about more than Silksong is like ridiculous.
01:20:41
BeyBlade
um no But I will say they did say there's going be like three or four prequel missions where you're you're running it around with.
01:20:48
silkdong
Yeah, they like added some missions or whatever, but still, it's like, okay, that's, that's what, three hours tops of fucking top content?
01:20:51
BeyBlade
Yeah, the the commander Johnson or whatever.
01:20:58
silkdong
Like, that's like, it's really not that impressive, you know?
01:20:59
BeyBlade
Yeah. Like, cool. Can't wait to, like, fight Covenant in my Warthog. Like, neat.
01:21:07
silkdong
And it's like, you've been, it's been all this time now, and, you know, there is the Halo pro scene and everything, and this is what you come out with?
01:21:16
silkdong
Like, it's not Halo Infinite is coming out on multi-platform with but cross-play, or it's not Master Chief Collection, their fucking prized possession that everybody loves now, that's coming out with cross-play and multi-platform ah PvP.
01:21:33
silkdong
Like, it's just like, this is just fucking, like, I don't know, dude. it's It was enough it was a nothing burger, as we say.
01:21:42
silkdong
like it's just It was just fucking fluff. That's what this feels like.
01:21:45
BeyBlade
and And listen, whether or not this is just like ah ah the trend, right? But like to me, previews were always relatively positive and like kind of polite. Like it was really rare to get a preview where they were like, nah, dude, this is not like, we don't know about this.
01:22:03
BeyBlade
So to just see a preview, which is essentially fluff, right? It's a puff piece.
01:22:08
BeyBlade
And even for them to be like, yeah.
01:22:08
semendemon
What they call that? ah A slice? think they call that.
01:22:11
BeyBlade
And even for these people to be like, yeah, and that's fine.
01:22:11
silkdong
and there's just gas And they're just each other up in the video. like it wasn't neat They didn't even show an actual trailer. They showed people talking about it.
01:22:19
silkdong
And it's just like, we've seen this millions of times before with every game.
01:22:21
semendemon
Halo is a big ring.
01:22:22
BeyBlade
yeah But like IGN, the GameSpot, they're just like, yeah, even now we we're not, I don't know, man.
01:22:23
semendemon
It surrounds the planet.
01:22:28
BeyBlade
Like, who knows?
01:22:29
semendemon
Oh, they lost IGN? Oh, my God.
01:22:31
Steve-O
If you lose IGN, you lose everybody.
01:22:34
semendemon
Woo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo!
01:22:34
BeyBlade
And also, like, and, like, listen, this is an Unreal problem, but, like, there's still, and I get it, it's it's a year out, this, that, and the end, but they're still fucking popping. Like, Unreal Engine popping, you know?
01:22:46
BeyBlade
And I'm like, bro, like, come on, man.
01:22:48
BeyBlade
i don't ah know about this.
01:22:49
semendemon
You know what's the funniest thing that I read about IGN? This is a little off topic, but it it made me laugh. They gave highest to lowest a 9 out of 10. They gave Eddington a 4 out of 10.
01:23:00
semendemon
So I just wanted to point that out.
01:23:03
silkdong
You know what's crazy?
01:23:03
semendemon
That's all. It made me laugh.
01:23:03
silkdong
gave Silksong a 9 out of 10 because there's some side missions in there where to collect things. Like, that's not an... That's not in every fucking game. So, whatever, dude.
01:23:17
silkdong
And it wasn't like collect 70 of these things. it was It's like collect 5 of these things and then come back and then we'll give you something.
01:23:23
BeyBlade
yeah also uh i made this i made this uh i guess it was a joke i don't know but i i said oh like
01:23:32
BeyBlade
on the discord, probably even on a earlier episode of this podcast, I said, Oh yeah. Like Microsoft's probably going to act like they, they were never in competition with anybody. And like, you know, what what's a view, what's a play state. What's a console game. We don't even know.
01:23:46
BeyBlade
Well, ah Matt booty was quoted as saying, Our biggest, this is like two days ago, um like late October. Our biggest competition isn't another console.
01:23:57
BeyBlade
We're competing more and more with everything from TikTok to movies. So like they're already, they're already acting like the internet is our competition.
01:24:04
semendemon
You hear that, Devin?
01:24:06
silkdong
Dude, they're cooked.
01:24:07
semendemon
Xbox is to be a TikTok box.
01:24:07
silkdong
Dude, Microsoft's cooked, dude. Xbox is cooked, man. They're so cooked.
01:24:12
silkdong
And now they're like, now they're like, they're they're talking about, well, there was the whole shit with the fucking Rock Ally X.
01:24:12
BeyBlade
Yeah. And did you guys, yeah.
01:24:18
silkdong
And now they're like, oh, well, the next Xbox is going to be ah more along the lines of a high-end PC now.
01:24:25
silkdong
And it's just like, dude, this is like so contradictory to what their business model was when the Series X came out.
01:24:32
BeyBlade
yeah well did you guys Did you guys read the Shire article?
01:24:32
silkdong
You know, like, they were saying the exact opposite before.
01:24:38
Steve-O
Now what's your guy say?
01:24:38
silkdong
Oh, no, he fried them? Hey...
01:24:40
BeyBlade
So he basically confirmed what everybody thought was after the Activision merger. ah They were like, hey, so like you guys need to really...
01:24:55
BeyBlade
Up your profitability. um So. According to the article, the Jason Schreier article, ah over the past two years, executives at the Seattle based software giant have set an across the board goal of a 30% accountability margin, which is just another term for profit margins.
01:25:15
BeyBlade
ah Typical. The average profit margin in the video game industries in recent years has ranged between 17% and 22%, according to estimates from S&P Global Market Intelligence, which while coming in between 10% and 20% at Xbox.
01:25:33
BeyBlade
So they were like, no, you need to jam it up. Your best, 10% more. Yeah.
01:25:41
BeyBlade
Microsoft gaming business, according to the court documents in 2023, Microsoft gaming business had a 12% margin for the first nine months of the company's 2022 fiscal year.
01:25:52
BeyBlade
So they said, you need to get from 12% to 30%. And now all of the layoffs, the cancelization of games, it all makes a lot more sense.
01:26:02
BeyBlade
um And again, this all stems from the Activision deal, you know, where they're like, hey, you need to start making moves.
01:26:11
silkdong
We spent $9 billion dollars on you.
01:26:15
silkdong
We need to see some of that back. ah Yeah, we need to see some of that back, actually.
01:26:17
BeyBlade
Yeah, ah Yeah, and and again, the average profit margin, 17% to 22%. And that's like if you're killing it. Like that's if you're Capcom...
01:26:28
silkdong
And they wanted 30%.
01:26:30
BeyBlade
Yeah, that's if your Capcom and Monster Hunter World came out and Resident Evil 2 remake came out, you know, and you're crushing it. They're like 30% insane. Like that's, I mean, you literally have to do what they've been doing, which is slashing tens of thousands of jobs and just canceling everything that isn't going to guarantee make you money.
01:26:53
silkdong
putting Halo ah Combat Evolved into the fucking air fryer for five minutes and then and then releasing it on PlayStation is going to get 30%, I'm This the new game.
01:27:02
BeyBlade
Yeah, and and then and again, like, and this also was the article that basically leaked that, like, you know, a new Halo game was being announced. And yeah, like, i is that going to get you to 30%?
01:27:12
silkdong
this is the new hey log game
01:27:16
BeyBlade
Like, the new Halo game? That's going to get you to 30%? Okay, yeah, I think we're going to be shocked that nobody cares about Halo week.
01:27:19
Steve-O
I think they're going to be real shocked at how much PlayStation owners don't care about Halo.
01:27:24
silkdong
No, and like what what I was saying... Yeah, when i was when i was saying when i what I was saying before too, was like Sony's not going to do them any favors either. Because there's the you know the algorithms and the...
01:27:34
semendemon
They're going to put in the library deep.
01:27:36
silkdong
Yeah, I mean like, yeah, they're going to push it down, the algorithm. They're not going to... Because what money are they making out of this?
01:27:43
silkdong
Nothing really. They don't care. They got Bloodborne 2 on the panic button.
01:27:48
silkdong
They're just waiting.
01:27:48
Steve-O
I typed in Halo and it just gave me the PS3 version of Haze.
01:27:52
silkdong
Yeah. ah gave me the beyonce It gave me the Beyonce album on Spotify.
01:27:57
BeyBlade
And dude, like I'm sure.
01:27:58
silkdong
have to type it in.
01:27:58
silkdong
It's like actual fucking character specific.
01:28:02
silkdong
Halo colon space.
01:28:02
BeyBlade
And I'm sure these numbers were crunched, right? I'm sure somebody could, but it's like, yeah, $30 a month on game pass is going to get you to 30% profit margin.
01:28:11
BeyBlade
Like just having millions of people cancel your subscription, that's going to get you there.
01:28:11
silkdong
Yeah, that's not how math works.
01:28:17
BeyBlade
Okay. ah having kind Having the big box stores not sell your consoles, that's going making your consoles more expensive, making your dev kit more expensive, right?
01:28:28
silkdong
Yeah, that's Yeah, are they self-sabotaging?
01:28:28
BeyBlade
Making, yeah, one apparently, because that was my thought. You know, there was that story where I was like, wait, dev kit, like you have to pay to get a dev kit. And by and large, that's not true. Like usually you are given one, at least, you know, a dev kit.
01:28:41
BeyBlade
ah It's going to cost you like what, 1200 bucks, something like that.
01:28:45
Steve-O
um do they actually not want people to develop for their new consoles?
01:28:45
BeyBlade
fifteen hundred bucks
01:28:48
BeyBlade
ah Dude, I'm. i Dude, I think I think there's self.
01:28:51
silkdong
Are they self-sabotaging?
01:28:53
BeyBlade
I mean, we talked I talked about this last week, but I really do think that. They are doing everything they can with the exception of just being outright and saying it to just go right into like software PC.
01:29:08
BeyBlade
Our market's going to be PC. Our market's going to be the Xbox store. Like you got to be a psychopath. Like you have to be us so ah
01:29:17
silkdong
You gotta be a sick individual.
01:29:19
BeyBlade
you have to be like a literal sociopath to be like, yeah, I'm all in on Xbox consoles. Like at this point.
01:29:26
silkdong
its Some people are still like that out there, man.
01:29:28
BeyBlade
yeah like like could you i i mean yeah and listen i know they do exist for sure but could you imagine just being like that that's your console like you don't have a ps5 like you're stuck on the you're stuck on an xbox and you're seeing all this news and you're like well what do i do do i just buy a rogue ally do i just drop
01:29:28
silkdong
And they get mad at the bad reviews of ah ah the Asus ROG Ally ads.
01:29:52
semendemon
You gotta get The bad name for handheld, too.
01:29:54
BeyBlade
Yeah, do I drop a Raga ally and have to, like, figure out how to uninstall Office 365 on my handheld? I guess so.
01:30:04
BeyBlade
So, yeah, I mean,
01:30:09
semendemon
It's not a good name.
01:30:11
BeyBlade
yeah it's just they're they're it's not that they're out of games, but like they're they're
01:30:17
semendemon
They should call it like the Roger...
01:30:19
BeyBlade
That console is just...
01:30:20
BeyBlade
Yeah, and the console is going to be a uniquely or super specified, specialized premium offering, which only tells me that it's just going to be $1,200 and it's going to be basically a PC.
01:30:31
silkdong
It's going to be $1,200 and it's going to be a PC. It's going to be a $1,200 PC with an HDMI port. That's what it's going to be. It's not even going to be DisplayPort, Steve.
01:30:40
BeyBlade
Yeah, like it's just...
01:30:43
semendemon
Well, there's one thing i always there's one thing I always wanted with Windows is to shrink it down to an 8-inch screen.
01:30:43
silkdong
It's going to be HDMI.
01:30:49
silkdong
Yeah, so you can't fucking do anything.
01:30:51
semendemon
So it's super hard to click any of the icons and read anything.
01:30:56
semendemon
That's what I wanted.
01:30:59
BeyBlade
They'll get there, right?
01:31:00
semendemon
You will get there.
01:31:00
BeyBlade
They'll get there, guys. Yeah,
01:31:02
semendemon
Yeah, of course.
01:31:03
silkdong
God damn, dude. They're cooked, man. I think they're cooked.
01:31:05
semendemon
Microsoft's going to buy WB, man.
01:31:07
semendemon
Didn't you hear?
01:31:09
BeyBlade
Well, no, apparently ah the the White House really wants Paramount to buy WB, which is...
01:31:14
semendemon
Oh, do they? That makes sense.
01:31:21
BeyBlade
then Fun, fun, guys. I'm really psyched.
01:31:26
silkdong
Somebody was saying that Disney should buy them, but I think that would really fuck everything up.
01:31:30
BeyBlade
That's too much.
01:31:31
BeyBlade
That's too much.
01:31:31
semendemon
you know what's funny? Because Ellison was like, there are other people that are interested. And everybody else was like, there's another one. Yeah.
01:31:40
Steve-O
Look, right now, whoever buys WB...
01:31:45
Steve-O
gets absolute Batman. So that is the number one hot, literally must buy property.
01:31:51
BeyBlade
So I think that they are saying...
01:31:51
semendemon
Yeah. amazon That's why Bezos is circling.
01:31:54
semendemon
Because he's like, that guy's so big!
01:31:54
BeyBlade
Yeah. yeah They are saying that I think Netflix and Apple are like the two likely, like the most likely.
01:32:06
Steve-O
That's interesting because I think Apple just made a deal with Peacock to like bundle their services.
01:32:10
silkdong
We're gonna get Arkham Evolved iPhones.
01:32:14
silkdong
asylum evolved on on iphones
01:32:17
Steve-O
Dude, that's I mean, that's basically that Lego game and it looks kind of sick. like
01:32:22
BeyBlade
Yeah, Lego game does look kind of sick.
01:32:23
Steve-O
It looks kind of sick.
01:32:32
semendemon
That's why James Gunn's pooping these movies out because he don't know who's going to buy
01:32:35
silkdong
He doesn't know what's going to happen.
01:32:39
Steve-O
Oh, what happened?
01:32:45
BeyBlade
Yeah, we'll see what's going on.
01:32:51
BeyBlade
Because he's like, dude, I don't know.
01:32:51
semendemon
Love that guy.
01:32:52
BeyBlade
Because I think he's like, yeah, yeah.
01:32:54
semendemon
This future's in flux, man.
01:32:55
BeyBlade
If I'm allowed to, i mean, they should like they they should like what he's been doing, I think.
01:33:03
Steve-O
I mean, he did make probably one of their biggest movies of the year, right? Yeah.
01:33:07
BeyBlade
Yeah, like he's done.
01:33:08
semendemon
Now, i I heard a rumor that Sony was interested, but like then I heard another thing, which I don't think is true, that if they ended up buying WB, they couldn't keep Spider-Man because of some esoteric rule that was written into the contract
01:33:22
silkdong
Why is yeah why Spider-Man such ah such a we have such weird clauses in there their
01:33:27
BeyBlade
Because it's probably like because like Sony could potentially make a Batman Spider-Man movie because of the rights. And then there has to be there has to have been some sort of clause where it's like you cannot.
01:33:40
silkdong
I don't want to watch that movie.
01:33:42
semendemon
What it's absolute Batman?
01:33:45
silkdong
I still wouldn't want to watch that movie.
01:33:45
BeyBlade
Yeah. John, don't say don't say shit that you can't take back.
01:33:47
semendemon
Yeah, be you hold on. Wait a second, John.
01:33:51
silkdong
Bookmark this! ah but
01:33:54
BeyBlade
When Spider-Man webs...
01:33:54
silkdong
Exclamation point, remind me, or whatever it is on Reddit.
01:33:56
BeyBlade
Yeah. When Spider-Man webs Batman's chest and webs away a giant battle axe, you're like, ooh! It's the sickest shit I've ever seen in my life!
01:34:08
BeyBlade
I mean, but I guess at this point, like, every company, every big company should be interested, right? Why not? Just be like, I wouldn't know.
01:34:14
semendemon
a lot of them aren't Devin a lot of them aren't Netflix isn't I know that for a fact because they don't because WB is swimming in debt Batman is he doesn't have any money absolute Batman has no money Devin he's poor he works construction when he can that's it fired
01:34:19
BeyBlade
Dude, how are you not interested in Batman? Like, how are you not interested in...

01:36:43
semendemon
um They showed a beer ad in which the predator grabbed a garage beer And pounded down with his bro.
01:36:52
BeyBlade
Can you, can you link me to that so I can put that so I can submit that to a Congress looking library of Congress?
01:36:59

Steve-O
Wait, who's his bro, though?

He would be rad. It was just this commando who looked a lot like Jason Kelsey, and he was running in the jungle, and he went to punch you know him with a claw, but he held up a beer, and he punctured the beer, and he's like, the and he drank the beer with him.
01:37:37

01:41:46
BeyBlade
Well, ah apparently there was somewhat of a leak.

BeyBlade
A little. Yep. Yep.
01:41:54
BeyBlade
Yeah, ah so noted Resident Evil leaker Dusk Golem claimed Capcom would continue remaking classic Resident Evil back catalog with new versions of both Resident Evil Code Veronica and Resident Evil Zero.
01:42:10
BeyBlade
They say that Code Veronica is targeting Q1 2027. Resident Evil Zero will follow a year after.
01:42:20
BeyBlade

01:42:21
semendemon

01:42:22
Steve-O
I still want one.
01:42:25
BeyBlade
So Zero's remake codename...
01:42:28
BeyBlade
Yeah. Zero's remake codename is Project Chamber, which is kind sick. I gotta dig that.
01:42:37
semendemon
One in the chamber.
01:42:37
BeyBlade
Starz. ah Listed on the resume of Far Cry 5 and Guardians the Galaxy actor John McLaren. So apparently he's like, yeah we're working on the Resumable Zero.
01:42:47
silkdong
I slow... I don't know, man.
01:42:50
BeyBlade
I mean... To me, this is it's just nice to get confirmation that Code Veronica, the the best Resident Evil game I never played.
01:42:55
silkdong
Yeah, I mean, that's good. But, man... But Zero is just... i have such a fucking... bad history with Resident Evil Zero, dude.
01:43:04
BeyBlade
I know, but what if they make... But this is the chance to make it good, you know?
01:43:06
semendemon
Well, Zero, Zero, i mean, I'm not going to say it's the worst, because that's not true. But it's definitely...
01:43:13
silkdong
But it's definitely the most disappointing, though, because, like, i don't think...
01:43:13
Steve-O
It could be there. You could talk about it.
01:43:16
semendemon
I don't know, man. There's some bad ones.
01:43:19
Steve-O
It's the only Resident Evil game where you have to put stuff on the ground and backtrack to go pick things up.
01:43:24
semendemon
That is ridiculous.
01:43:24
silkdong
Yeah, it's like, yeah, it's...
01:43:25
semendemon
I don't deny that, but I like the story.
01:43:29
Steve-O
Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah.
01:43:30
semendemon
You don't like it? I like it.
01:43:32
silkdong
like you Like, you don't like Halo?
01:43:33
BeyBlade
you guys You guys are fucking bullies right now, man.
01:43:33
Steve-O
I don't like the idea what Rebecca Chambers being able to take on three tyrants and then seize one tyrant.
01:43:34
silkdong
I don't like this game. ah I don't like this game.
01:43:40
Steve-O
It's like, i am totally paralyzed in fear.
01:43:41
silkdong
And this is like... Don't forget, this is like 16-year-old Rebecca Chambers. Like...
01:43:47
semendemon
But I like the convict angle.
01:43:49
semendemon
I always thought that was cool.
01:43:50
Steve-O
I like the convict too. I do like, I do like Billy.
01:43:51
semendemon
That was cool.
01:43:51
BeyBlade
No, no. you You like slugs, you little pervert. That's what you like.
01:43:56
silkdong
Yeah, it's Billy.
01:43:58
silkdong
Listen, man, my...
01:43:58
BeyBlade
Isn't Billy kind of like...
01:43:59
semendemon
like Billy. Yeah, Billy's cool.
01:44:00
silkdong
Dude, my fucking shit... my shit My shit with this fucking game, though, is just like... I bought a whole fucking console just to play this game. And it was... Yeah, exactly.
01:44:12
semendemon
you sexist shit.
01:44:13
silkdong
Exactly. I mean, granted, we did get we did get the remake of Resident 1 after, but like... Or was that before?
01:44:19
semendemon
Seven and eight are worse.
01:44:19
Steve-O
We got the remake of one before.
01:44:22
semendemon
Five, I dislike five more.
01:44:26
silkdong
You're crazy. At least Five was like, you know...
01:44:29
semendemon
Five's stupid.
01:44:31
Steve-O
If you play five alone, it's ah not okay.
01:44:32
silkdong
no. But still, like at least the at least like the the the combat and stuff is like like kind of fun in that game.
01:44:38
semendemon
Well, it's fun, but it's four.
01:44:40
silkdong
you know like this game is I think Zero is all around just a bad game.
01:44:45
Steve-O
i need I need a Galanian game where Chris sits down with a zero and then sits down with five.
01:44:48
silkdong
I'll play all the Resident Evils.
01:44:53
silkdong
Yeah, you know, yeah let's do... yeah Make a Twitch account. Chris, I want to watch you play Resident Evil Zero and enjoy yourself playing it. I really would like to see this.
01:45:00
semendemon
ah Yeah, you want see that?
01:45:02
silkdong
Yeah, I really just... I just think it's a bad game, dude.
01:45:03
BeyBlade
yeah What see that dick freak?
01:45:07
silkdong
I just think it's a bad game.
01:45:07
semendemon
I think, I think though, it could be a good remake if they do it right. If they fix all that issues.
01:45:12
BeyBlade
Yeah, I mean, yeah.
01:45:13
silkdong
I feel... i Yeah, I feel like that with 5, too, though.
01:45:16
silkdong
I feel like if they remake 5 from the ground up...
01:45:18
semendemon
Yeah, you're right. I totally, totally agree.
01:45:20
BeyBlade
But you know what my fear is with five is that they don't think five is bad though.
01:45:21
silkdong
But they have to be... 0 and 5... 0 and 5 have to be completely different games than what the originals were, though.
01:45:28
silkdong
They have to be actually, like, completely different.
01:45:30
BeyBlade
I'm worried. I don't think 5 will... They would change almost anything in 5, unfortunately.
01:45:34
semendemon
I like Code Veronica, too. I'm glad they're remaking that.
01:45:36
silkdong
i love i love i love i love code veronicica I love Code Veronica.
01:45:36
Steve-O
i I've always had a good time with Code Veronica. Yeah.
01:45:41
silkdong
That's a good game.
01:45:42
BeyBlade
But it's like Code Veronica...
01:45:42
silkdong
Zero is a bad game.
01:45:44
BeyBlade
Code Veronica and 5 are where the the wheels start getting real wobbly.
01:45:49
silkdong
Why you skipping 4?
01:45:52
BeyBlade
No, because like 4 is...
01:45:53
semendemon
I think the wheels get wobbly with five. I think Code Veronica is really cool.
01:45:55
BeyBlade
Four is like where the roller coaster is immediately on the descent because it's like rocking and rolling.
01:46:03
silkdong
And then 5 is like, they had a really good thing going and they just pumped too much into it.
01:46:06
BeyBlade
And five five is like, yeah, hey, we're going โ yeah.
01:46:08
silkdong
They did too much. They went way over the top.
01:46:11
Steve-O
yeah I can see that.
01:46:12
Steve-O
Resident Evil 4 is like the steep... like You're going down on the roller coaster. You're having so much fun. And then at one point, Resident Evil 5, they were like, look can we add a jump to a roller coaster?
01:46:26
Steve-O
Like, what are you fucking nuts?
01:46:27
silkdong
Can we just make the island part of Resident Evil 4 a whole game and and make that the game?
01:46:32
BeyBlade
yeah And then Code Veronica adds like the thing that you know will also kind of be like the ridiculous...
01:46:40
BeyBlade
Resident Evil's always been ridiculous, right? But Code Veronica adds in like super villain...
01:46:44
silkdong
No, but Code Veronica is like a direct sequel. but And it's also a direct sequel to the game the the most loved games in the series, which is like 2 and 1 and 3, right?
01:46:55
BeyBlade
And it's like, you know, but you're also getting like the worst character, Steve Burnside.
01:47:00
Steve-O
But you're also getting the best version of Claire, which is Claire wearing those like flared jeans.
01:47:07
semendemon
And a cool like psycho like reveal with the Spencer's and shit like all that shit's fun.
01:47:12
Steve-O
Oh, and the original superpower Wesker.
01:47:12
BeyBlade
but But you're also getting the supervillain. Yeah, you're getting supervillain Wesker, which apparently is.
01:47:16
Steve-O
I love supervillain Wesker though.
01:47:18
BeyBlade
But he's. I think it's like a monkey's paw situation because I thought he was so cool.
01:47:23
semendemon
And it's Antarctica. Right?
01:47:28
Steve-O
You travel in it.
01:47:29
BeyBlade
and you'd launch And then you launch ah a tyrant out of a plane, which is kind of neat.
01:47:33
Steve-O
You play as the Redfields.
01:47:37
Steve-O
You don't seem impressed by that.
01:47:39
Steve-O
think we could say six is probably the worst.
01:47:39
BeyBlade
I mean, i because I played as the Redfields a bunch. But yeah, like to me, five is like the wheels are getting wobbly, and then six, obviously, we fly right off.
01:47:48
silkdong
like six is insane dude it's so bad
01:47:50
BeyBlade
Yeah, it's just tipped over, and it causes a map mass casualty.
01:47:54
Steve-O
i think i think we could say six is probably the worst
01:47:57
semendemon
That's what I'm saying. Like six is clearly worse. i think it's worse.
01:48:00
silkdong
well that well the thing is is like I played through all of 6 and yeah it's really bad like but it's bad in the vacuum that is Resident Evil and Resident Evil 0 I think I would have held a higher standard to than 6 because 6 is already after a game that I didn't like which is 5 so it's like
01:48:18
silkdong
You know, Zero had so much hype behind it because it's the prequel to so the game, to to the first game, and and, you know, had Rebecca in it, and and everything has the connection to the stars.
01:48:26
semendemon
What can I say? I like a big bug monster.
01:48:31
Steve-O
What? OK, what Resident Evil had the best monsters in it?
01:48:36
BeyBlade
Dude, you know what controversial?
01:48:41
silkdong
Four's got, like, four's got everything that's, like, so cool that...
01:48:45
silkdong
They did everything different and and they they hey yeah they nailed it out of the park, dude.
01:48:46
semendemon
The big salamander. Those fucking cool hook head things.
01:48:52
silkdong
ah they regeneratedorss The The Regeneradors.
01:48:55
semendemon
They're all so cool.
01:48:57
silkdong
Those were actually fucking scary, dude.
01:48:59
semendemon
Yeah. And they make the that noise is great.
01:49:02
silkdong
Yeah, dude. El Gigante. Yeah, they I mean, I'm biased always with this, but I think it's 4. 4's got the best monsters.
01:49:12
BeyBlade
I think it's seven. Who who doesn't love ah the same mold monster over and over and over again?
01:49:16
semendemon
I fucking hate
01:49:17
Steve-O
Welcome to the family, Devin.
01:49:18
BeyBlade
Dude, actually, i stand i still so I'm a seven stand for sure.
01:49:24
Steve-O
ah You just love the uncle who lives out in the bayou.
01:49:27
BeyBlade
Dude. You know, John, I think that's the problem.
01:49:30
BeyBlade
You never play that DLC.
01:49:31
semendemon
That's the dirtiest Resident Evil.
01:49:33
Steve-O
It is the dirtiest.
01:49:34
silkdong
i dude, but I'll stand by. I think Ethan's the worst protagonist and in all the games.
01:49:38
semendemon
ah He's shit is terrible.
01:49:40
semendemon
He's terrible.
01:49:41
silkdong
He's the worst one.
01:49:43
silkdong
And it hurts me seeing all these fucking, like, millennials. I say millennials like I'm not, like, somewhat part of it.
01:49:48
BeyBlade
Yeah, it's sick,
01:49:49
silkdong
But, like, to see all these fucking young young gamers that, like, really fucking go to bat for Ethan and and try to try to say that.
01:49:56
semendemon
I don't get it. Like, what what makes him so magnanimous that everybody loves him, like Leon or Chris?
01:49:57
silkdong
I don't get it either. Yeah, what makes him so special?
01:50:01
silkdong
That he pours Robitussin on his severed hand?
01:50:04
Steve-O
two things I've noticed about like modern gamers one they're weirdly like defensive of Ethan and two they weirdly sexualize fucking James Sunderland from Resident Evil or from Silent Hill 2 from Silent Hill 2
01:50:04
silkdong
Is that what it is?
01:50:20
Steve-O
um style of hill too
01:50:20
silkdong
Hey, you know what? That's Bloober Team's fault. They sexualized him with that design. Okay? He wasn't supposed to look like a sexy man.
01:50:27
Steve-O
I'm like, y'all are supposed to not be down.
01:50:29
silkdong
He wasn't supposed to look like a sexy dad. sexy dad.
01:50:32
semendemon
Jesus Christ.........................
01:50:34
silkdong
But like, yeah, I think Ethan's the worst protagonist.
01:50:39
silkdong
But i got I got high hopes for Grace, though. I got high hopes for Grace. Like, really high hopes.
01:50:41
Steve-O
We need to do our DC KO, but with worse protagonists.
01:50:45
silkdong
For Resident Evil or just in the in video games in general.
01:50:46
Steve-O
Yeah, well, but just in gaming, and gaming.
01:50:50
silkdong
Oh, man. I mean, where do we start, dude? Booker DeWitt is always on top of the list, dude!
01:50:52
Steve-O
ah Booker DeWitt is our absolute Batman
01:50:56
silkdong
yeah he's He's the absolute Batman of worst protagonists slash worst fathers.
01:51:04
silkdong
Dude, I would take... Chris, I would take the Night Mother as my as my single my Disney movie single parent over Booker DeWitt any day the week.
01:51:13
silkdong
Alright? From fucking Skyrim?
01:51:16
silkdong
Give me the Night Mother all day over him.
01:51:20
silkdong
Booker DeWitt is like fucking look the literal dirt worse, and I can't believe people... I can't believe you people, Devin and Waldo and all the other DBZ fans try to say that Goku's the worst dad. He's not.
01:51:33
semendemon
I don't gave her away for some booze Evan
01:51:33
BeyBlade
I don't know if I ever said that, but maybe.
01:51:37
BeyBlade
He's a pretty bad dad, though. Goku go who didn't realize what kissing was.
01:51:41
silkdong
Booker Booker DeWitt is like I mean, James James Sunderland is up there to James Sunderland is up there, too, for worst protagonists like in general.
01:51:50
Steve-O

01:51:53
silkdong
He's an awful person.
01:51:53
BeyBlade

01:51:56
semendemon
got tired of taking care of his wife.
01:51:57
silkdong
And you know what, Devin? if you If you have any form of of sympathy for him, then that means they they did the remake wrong. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry, Devin.
01:52:05

BeyBlade
But... ah and and i'm just I know. I'm just... jettting Not that I was like, are they...

silkdong
Samus. Samus is the worst protagonist ever.
01:52:21
BeyBlade
Yeah, she she should talk.
01:52:22
Steve-O
Oh, ah what was the game? um Other M? Wasn't that considered like the worst Samus where she was just like, yeah, she just like took orders from everybody.
01:52:29
BeyBlade
Oh, my God. That one's terrible, yeah. And that's the thing, because that one that one i got...
01:52:32
silkdong
Was she like, was she just like, wait was she just like Buffy in the girls night episode where she's just fucking insufferable and just like going buck wild and partying all the time and going to clubs?
01:52:39
Steve-O
So I never played that, but she's like super sub she's like super subservient to some like military man.
01:52:46
BeyBlade
and Her old commander, and then like throughout the game, he has she has to get permission to like unlock abilities from her, or from her old commander.
01:52:57
Steve-O
Yeah, he's like, no.
01:52:57
silkdong
Oh, so he's he's the Metroidvania mechanic.
01:52:57
BeyBlade
He's like, well, I guess you've proven yourself.
01:53:02
Steve-O
Now you can shoot your missile, Samus. You're welcome.
01:53:06
BeyBlade
And you know, the sad part is, is like...
01:53:07
silkdong
It's just lieutenant it's Lieutenant Surge from fucking and Pokemon.
01:53:10
BeyBlade
What's that part of it look cool?
01:53:16
BeyBlade
But like, dude, it legitimately looked cool.
01:53:16
silkdong

BeyBlade
metric Like Other M or whatever. Like i was like, oh, she's like running around to backflips and was third person.
01:53:24
semendemon
Well, the visually looked great, but like they took away all their agency.
01:53:25
Steve-O
Yeah, that was like the first That was...
01:53:31
semendemon
They made it cool.
01:53:32
BeyBlade
And also apparently the gameplay was like not at all impressive, which didn't help.
01:53:36
silkdong
Who developed this one? Oh, Team Ninja?
01:53:38
Steve-O
Yeah, Team Ninja. That was one of their bad ones.

BeyBlade
Hey, let it... Somebody likes it, I'm sure.
01:54:15
Steve-O
Somebody likes me out there.
01:54:17
BeyBlade
But listen, it's not like they kind of put a... to go full circle. It's not that I was like, oh I'm so glad they're deciding to make more Resident Evil games.
01:54:27
BeyBlade
But it's just like, you know, we were like, are they going to skip over?
01:54:29
silkdong

Steve-O
Rick Flagg Senior?

01:55:36
Steve-O
You think it might be Brainiac?
01:55:38
semendemon
It's Brainiac.
01:55:39
BeyBlade
Dude, maybe. I don't know. That might be too mainstream for him.
01:55:40
silkdong
Dude, Booker DeWitt's not even on this list, man.
01:55:44
silkdong
ChatGPT is just not...
01:55:46
silkdong
They don't know ball.
01:55:47
Steve-O
They're not a gamer. ChatGP3 doesn't get me.
01:55:48
silkdong
A fucking turtle died for for this query that I put in the ChatGPT, and couldn't even give me a good fucking answer.
01:55:55
semendemon
It's Brainiac.
01:55:56
silkdong
They gave me eight...
01:55:57
silkdong
Yeah, I didn't play this game because they didn't have a reflection in the in the building when I was watching Devin play it but they say Aiden Pierce from Watch Dogs is the worst.
01:56:09
BeyBlade
That's not even close to being...
01:56:10
Steve-O
even into that game.
