Steve-O
Today I learned.

semendemon
With Peter's not-dead-like AI, Peter got his spawn powers from nanites in his prosthetic legs. Nanites that were affected when Al Simmons initiated his necroplasmic detonation in the present.
00:09:46
BeyBlade

00:11:14
BeyBlade

00:11:14
silkdong

00:11:17
BeyBlade
Okay.
00:11:17
semendemon
oh okay
00:11:19
silkdong
i mentioned this a little bit to Devin and Chris the other day, but ah Steve, I really need your input.
00:11:25
Steve-O
You got it.
00:11:25
silkdong
So it's official now.

Organizing a Child's Video Game Party

00:11:27
silkdong
So like my um my nephew is having his ninth birthday party at his house, at my sister's house.
00:11:30
BeyBlade
Mm-hmm.
00:11:34
silkdong
And um instead of like buying a game truck or whatever, my sister was like, oh, can you just bring your your video games over 10 boys? to you know to have a birthday party and and i was like oh i'm like it's like the malcolm and malcolm in the middle fucking uh clip where it's like know you know you're asking like i was like because like you know i'm gonna like i'm not just gonna bring ps5 over and then just go away like we got to make this a whole thing right so i i need to know like i'm compiling a list of like games that are like appropriate and like
00:11:48
semendemon
Oh, yeah. Yeah.
00:11:55
Steve-O
Well, just
00:12:12
silkdong
would be fun for 10 year olds to play, but I kind of want to structure it a little bit. Like, should, we should I have like a, should we have a tournament of some sorts? Like try to, try to shape it that way.
00:12:26
silkdong
But like, there's a couple of games, like I'm going to bring Mario Kart and like Mario Party and stuff on, on my switch too.
00:12:31
Steve-O
Those are good ones.
00:12:33
silkdong
But Sonic is a very hot item right now as well.
00:12:38
Steve-O
The kids love Sonic.
00:12:38
semendemon
It's hot.
00:12:39
silkdong
And it's, Yeah, so i was gonna ask you, Steve, like, the Sonic Cross Worlds Racing, um, is that, like, Smash Bros, where, like, you have to, like, play it to, like, unlock everything to make it worth it?
00:12:52
Steve-O
No, it's just all right up.
00:12:53
silkdong
Like, did is that, like, bare bones?
00:12:54
Steve-O
It's all right up the gate.
00:12:55
silkdong
Oh, it's all there?
00:12:56
Steve-O
Yeah.
00:12:56
silkdong
It's all there?
00:12:56
Steve-O
Yeah.
00:12:57
silkdong
Okay, so it's like it's like Mario Kart, where you're just unlocking skins or whatever?
00:12:58
Steve-O
You... um You can buy parts of vehicles to like mix and match them, but that's about it. Like there's there's stuff to unlock, but you have all the characters right from the rip.
00:13:09
silkdong
Okay.
00:13:14
silkdong
Okay, and that's four-player you can play split-screen?
00:13:14
Steve-O
Yeah.
00:13:17
Steve-O
I believe so. And I think it is on Switch, too.
00:13:21
silkdong
Yeah, but I might, like, I was thinking about that, too, like, if some people want to play some games on Switch and other people want to play different games, like, I'm probably going to bring both my PlayStation and my Nintendo Switch over and set them up differently, so maybe ill I split them up.
00:13:37
Steve-O
That would make sense. Mario Kart on the one, and then you could have on the PlayStation Sonic.
00:13:41
silkdong
Yeah.
00:13:43
Steve-O
that be That'd be a way to do it.
00:13:43
silkdong
my My original idea... you guys will love this. My original idea was to maybe try to get everyone to play fucking Captain Sonar. Like, 5v5. I was gonna, like...
00:13:54
semendemon
Oh my God.
00:13:57
silkdong
I was gonna maybe...
00:13:57
BeyBlade
Bunch of children.
00:13:58
silkdong
I was gonna maybe put...
00:13:58
semendemon
You were, John, you were upset when I brought up Mario Party because you're like, nah, they get too toxic.
00:14:03
silkdong
That's toxic.
00:14:07
semendemon
What the fuck?
00:14:07
silkdong
No, because I think... I mean, these are, like... i mean, like, most of those kids are, like, smart kids. Like, my... My nephew's second grade, but he's like in fourth grade math. so like that
00:14:17
Steve-O
These are 10 year
00:14:17
silkdong
Some of them are like pretty smart kids. so like But like maybe not all of them are that smart. so maybe when Because I think that would be interesting to like the smart, that like pretty the ones that like need to be that want to be challenged all the time.
00:14:32
silkdong
you know Because it's in it's an interesting concept.
00:14:33
BeyBlade
Yeah.
00:14:35
silkdong
like fucking You're 5v5, you have a different role, and it's like Battleship. But like again, like trying to orchestrate...
00:14:45
Steve-O
these are ten year olds
00:14:45
silkdong
I was gonna put...
00:14:45
semendemon
I think
00:14:46
silkdong
Yeah, like 9 to 10 year olds. Yeah.
00:14:48
Steve-O
ah
00:14:49
semendemon
i think you or somebody else would have to play on either side. exactly.
00:14:52
Steve-O
Yeah, I think you might meet a parent.
00:14:53
silkdong
to Yeah, to be the captain or whatever. Yeah.
00:14:55
semendemon
yeah
00:14:57
silkdong
So maybe I'll put Tim Lucas on retainer. I'll just pay him. And have him do a 10 person fucking... Dungeons and Dragons or something.
00:15:07
Steve-O
Yeah, hire Tim to be a DM to come in and just like roll for the kids.
00:15:09
silkdong
To come in and... And roll for all ten kids.
00:15:12
Steve-O
that That would be a huge hit, like no joke.
00:15:14
silkdong
You think so? You think they'd be into that?
00:15:16
Steve-O
I think kids are super into D&D now.
00:15:16
semendemon
Yeah.
00:15:16
silkdong
I'll see.
00:15:17
semendemon
Yeah, kids love... Yeah, they are. That's true.
00:15:20
silkdong
yeah my Or they'd at least be possibly be interested in trying to learn.
00:15:24
Steve-O
Yeah.
00:15:24
semendemon
Mm-hmm.
00:15:24
silkdong
Because they're really into like Pokemon cards, and like but they don't know how to play the game. tried to... I want... Because the thing is...
00:15:31
semendemon
Why don't you teach them magic?
00:15:34
silkdong
i i want because the thing is like My nephew is, like, really into just collecting the cards. But, like, so, like, Pokemon is, like, um... Like, I try to, like, you know, let's play.
00:15:48
silkdong
Like, let's learn how to play. Because, like, my other two nephews from my cousin's kids that live in the UK... They're the ones who, like, kind of got the the younger kid... the The younger nephews into Pokemon. But they just got them into collecting.
00:16:02
silkdong
The kids in the UK... The two kids in the UK are, like, competitive fucking... like psycho killers like they they go to tournaments and shit and like yeah they they actually when they come visit they ask me to go with them to the comic book store and they they just fucking wax everybody comic book store on a pokemon morning it's pretty funny but yeah so like i don't know i mean like my heart wants to do a street fighter tournament
00:16:09
Steve-O
who
00:16:17
BeyBlade
Mm-hmm.
00:16:28
silkdong
I just want to be like, because we did that with all the kids one time when Street Fighter 6 first came out, and they were, like, getting into it.
00:16:31
semendemon
Oh, that'll be fun.
00:16:35
silkdong
Like, actually, like, getting into it. So maybe'll maybe I'll, like, try to slide that in there and be like, hey, you guys want to try this game? Because, like, um I don't know.
00:16:43
Steve-O
That could be fun.
00:16:44
semendemon
Yeah, that's pretty fun.
00:16:45
silkdong
Is that appropriate for nine-year-olds, though?
00:16:47
Steve-O
Dude, we were like nine when we were playing for Street Fighter.
00:16:47
semendemon
Or I'll...
00:16:47
silkdong
Like, Street Fighter 2 is, but our E-engine is very jiggly and goony.
00:16:52
Steve-O
Oh, very bouncy.
00:16:52
BeyBlade
It's fine. You know, you can you can weed them out.
00:16:54
silkdong
All right.
00:16:56
BeyBlade
You can weed out the ones that are getting a little too mature. You're like, all right, you got to play this other game.
00:17:01
semendemon
Yeah, you can't be Chung Lee again.
00:17:02
silkdong
Because my nephew went right to Zangief. He went right to the biggest dude that he could find in the game.
00:17:06
BeyBlade
Yeah, makes sense.
00:17:07
semendemon
Yeah.
00:17:10
semendemon
You can't be Chung Lee again.
00:17:10
silkdong
So yeah, maybe maybe I'll slide that in.
00:17:12
silkdong
I mean, also, there's Smash Bros, too.
00:17:13
semendemon
Yeah.
00:17:13
silkdong
I can just throw Smash Bros at them.
00:17:14
semendemon
No more Chung Lee.
00:17:15
Steve-O
Smash is a classic.
00:17:17
silkdong
Yeah. Can you do eight players Smash together or no?
00:17:21
Steve-O
I think so.
00:17:21
silkdong
Just four?
00:17:21
Steve-O
Yeah, with the big maps. Yeah.
00:17:23
silkdong
What?
00:17:23
Steve-O
Remember Smash Brothers? We used used to have like the eight Amiibos running around on the screen.
00:17:25
semendemon
Oh, yeah. I've done that.
00:17:28
silkdong
Yeah, but like same screen?
00:17:30
Steve-O
Same screen.
00:17:30
semendemon
Yeah, same screen.
00:17:30
Steve-O
Yeah.
00:17:32
silkdong
Alright, so yeah, that means I'm gonna have to spend fucking $50 on the fighter packs I didn't get before.
00:17:36
semendemon
think Devin played that with us. It was like we were upstairs during a party playing eight Flair Smash Brothers.
00:17:42
BeyBlade
yeah
00:17:46
semendemon
That was fun, though.
00:17:46
BeyBlade
oh yeah that was when I think had a housewarming and I just like had a smash set up upstairs
00:17:52
semendemon
Yes, I think that's what it was. Yes, if I remember correctly. That was awesome.
00:17:57
silkdong
to 7? Oh, wait, to, wait, hold on.
00:17:59
semendemon
Hmm.
00:18:01
Steve-O
That's weird.
00:18:01
silkdong
ah we up to way Oh no, it says up to 8 players for local multiplayer battles.
00:18:05
BeyBlade
also some of these kids are just going to have to fucking wait their turn man you know
00:18:09
silkdong
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, that's the that's thing. I just think, man, that would be like, that's like, that's the thing.
00:18:14
Steve-O
How many controllers do you have?
00:18:16
silkdong
I'll have to like, fucking fish old Joy-Cons out for this shit. I just fished my old fucking hobo DualSense regular.
00:18:28
silkdong
Like, just grabbed this out of a drawer that I haven't gone through in a while.
00:18:28
Steve-O
Yeah.
00:18:32
silkdong
i had to update I had to update it. That's why i was on my PS5 today.
00:18:37
BeyBlade
Like you said, like, if in
00:18:38
silkdong
And I had to update the system like three times. Yeah, and then I started playing Rondo of Blood. And I'm like, oh, this is cool.
00:18:43
BeyBlade
yeah. Well, this was after you beat Hollow Knight and Silksong in a span of a week again.
00:18:44
silkdong
I wish I could play this on my other systems. Yeah. So, yeah. So I,

Gaming Experiences and Reflections

00:18:51
silkdong
well, okay. So I beat Silksong again this week, but I also purchased Claire Obscure Expedition 33 because it was on sale on Steam.
00:19:01
Steve-O
Got it on sale.
00:19:03
silkdong
So um I was happy to see that still Nozomi still says Silksong is his game of the year after playing both games. So I'm not, because that was my fear, Steve. My fear is that, because this already, already Elden Ringed Donkey Kong Bonanza with Silksong. I was afraid that I was going to get the double Elden Ring and play play the other game of the year contender that would overtake like what became my fucking heart this year, which is like Hollow Knight, you know?
00:19:33
silkdong
So I'm going to play it. I'm going to play it.
00:19:35
Steve-O
i think I think you you crushed Nozomi little bit though the way the way he's responding it's like you took the crown from him like yeah
00:19:43
silkdong
Oh, because he's just... He's not the he's not the ah he's not the only Hollow Knight kid anymore.
00:19:48
Steve-O
yeah he was he was Mr. Hollow Knight you took the crown he's like fuck man here here's your throne king
00:19:50
silkdong
that He's not the snob anymore. And I'm like, I beat it twice! Yes! I fucking did it!
00:19:58
BeyBlade
you
00:19:58
silkdong
Yeah. No, but I...
00:20:00
semendemon
I'm a I'm playing a game that I quite like, actually.
00:20:03
semendemon
I just started.
00:20:03
Steve-O
yeah
00:20:04
silkdong
what are What are you playing?
00:20:05
semendemon
I got the new Katamari Damacy game.
00:20:08
silkdong
Oh, is it new or is it a remake of the the original? I thought it was a remake.
00:20:11
semendemon
i don't know. it just feels new. It's like you...
00:20:13
silkdong
What's it called? What's the title?
00:20:15
semendemon
It's traveling through time.
00:20:17
silkdong
Which Katamara? It's on so ahs Steam?
00:20:19
semendemon
Is it? Yeah, I got it on Steam. Katamari... Kat...
00:20:24
Steve-O
Will love Katamari Reroll or Once Upon a Katamari?
00:20:24
silkdong
Because they're like any Katamara game is is a good game. I'm not going to... Let me see.
00:20:32
semendemon
I don't think it was re-roll.
00:20:32
silkdong
Oh, is it Once Upon a Katamari? That one?
00:20:34
semendemon
Yes. Yes.
00:20:36
silkdong
Oh, yeah, this one just came out.
00:20:39
semendemon
I, uh,
00:20:39
silkdong
Oh, but it's like, it's like, um... Yeah, you you said it's like time travel, so you do have, like...
00:20:45
semendemon
yeah.
00:20:45
silkdong
You probably have the old maps in here, too.
00:20:47
semendemon
So it's trying traveling. So you're going to different points in history. Like you go to the West, the American old West, you go to red dead world.
00:20:54
silkdong
Oh, you go to Red Dead.
00:20:54
Steve-O
Hey.
00:20:54
silkdong
You play through Red Dead.
00:20:56
semendemon
I got, I got like a hat, a cowboy hat.
00:20:57
silkdong
You to Saint-Denis. You to Saint-Denis.
00:20:59
semendemon
And you got to pick up beverages in a little Western bar.
00:21:02
Steve-O
a
00:21:02
BeyBlade
Thank you.
00:21:03
semendemon
Like, that's the the one thing. And then you go to Edo, Japan.
00:21:06
silkdong
Snake Oil. It's called Snake Oil, Chris.
00:21:08
semendemon
Yeah. ah but It's fun.
00:21:10
silkdong
i Actually, i don't know ah
00:21:14
semendemon
I'm having a good time with it.
00:21:15
silkdong
I don't know. I mean, it's probably perfect for the Steam Deck. It just runs probably perfectly on that.
00:21:18
semendemon
It is perfect for the Steam Deck. It runs 90 frames because I still have that thing up.
00:21:23
silkdong
There you go. See? you gotta keep that up so you know if you're playing quality or not. You know?
00:21:29
semendemon
Um, it's fucking great.
00:21:30
silkdong
Because that's max. If it's running 90, then you're at optimal performance for a game at that point.
00:21:34
semendemon
I've played, I think i played every Katamari game and this is wonderful. Like I really, it was somewhat cheap.
00:21:41
silkdong
That's good.
00:21:41
semendemon
It wasn't expensive.
00:21:43
silkdong
Because I played the... i They remade, I think, the first one. and I played that... I think, was it last year? Or two years ago I played i played a Katamara game? what's It wasn't this one. What Katamara game did I play?
00:21:56
silkdong
Semi-recently.
00:21:57
semendemon
Reroll?
00:21:58
silkdong
I think it was Reroll, yeah.
00:21:59
semendemon
It was 40, but I love it. like i'm i'm gonna I'm still playing it. It's pretty long, too. There's a lot of levels.
00:22:06
silkdong
This just came out, like, last week, it says.
00:22:08
semendemon
Yeah, I but i pre-ordered it because I fucking love Katamari games.
00:22:09
silkdong
New.
00:22:11
silkdong
Damn. Yeah. I mean, they're... Dude. It's like the music is always good.
00:22:18
semendemon
Yeah, the music, they have like this ah really good lounge version of the theme. um
00:22:24
Steve-O
Oh, classic theme.
00:22:25
silkdong
and na na na na na na na na na na na
00:22:26
Steve-O
No, no, no.
00:22:27
semendemon
Yeah, it's like
00:22:27
Steve-O
Okay.
00:22:28
semendemon
played on a piano and it's really, it's wonderful. um I can't, yeah, soundtrack rules, of course.
00:22:35
silkdong
This is... what ah this is what comes This is what comes up on my Steam page. It says, these are... but For Katamari... For Once Upon a Katamar, it says, similar to these games, Hollow Knight and Street Fighter VI.
00:22:47
silkdong
And I'm like, I don't know if it Steam!
00:22:48
semendemon
Is it? Is it? Is it?
00:22:51
silkdong
You might be you might be lying there.
00:22:51
semendemon
Is it?
00:22:53
silkdong
You might be capping.
00:22:53
BeyBlade
Thank you.
00:22:55
silkdong
I don't know. I think maybe you're trying to get me to spend $40 on this game. Like, I don't know what it is. So...
00:23:03
semendemon
i I really, I can't give it enough praise. I love every one I've played. This is just as good. It's just as silly.
00:23:10
silkdong
Yeah, they're always good. They're always just good games.
00:23:11
Steve-O
oh
00:23:12
semendemon
And for a game that was originally created to teach children to clean up after themselves, I think it really is expanded everywhere. Good.
00:23:20
silkdong
Because I remember i remember playing the first one on, what was it, back then?
00:23:24
Steve-O
Yeah, PS2 is the $20 budget title.
00:23:26
silkdong
and it was And it was such a like a fucking weird like niche thing.
00:23:26
Steve-O
Mm-hmm.
00:23:30
silkdong
it was like, what the fuck is this? And then like it had a very minimalist... Let me see if I can find the... don't
00:23:36
semendemon
I don't think I've ever been as instantly charmed by it by a game as I have been with Katamori.
00:23:40
Steve-O
oh
00:23:41
silkdong
Yeah, like, look at this. Look at the original album. album Look at the original Game the game Case cover.
00:23:49
silkdong
Like, you see this, and you're like, you're like, hmm.
00:23:50
Steve-O
That's good cover.
00:23:51
BeyBlade
Mm-hmm.
00:23:54
Steve-O
The fuck am I about to play?
00:23:56
semendemon
And just the the silly weirdness of it all is just...
00:23:56
silkdong
Yeah.
00:23:59
semendemon
It never gets old. Like, the king of the universe is...
00:24:02
silkdong
King of the Universe is awesome.
00:24:03
semendemon
It's fucking incredible character in every way. And then you get to meet the queen in this and it's really fun.
00:24:09
silkdong
Yeah.
00:24:10
Steve-O
Whoa. All right.
00:24:12
silkdong
Oh, the queen's in this one?
00:24:12
semendemon
She's the queen of the universes in this. I think she showed up in re-roll, but she's got like a big part in this.
00:24:18
silkdong
She's the prince's mom?
00:24:20
semendemon
Yeah.
00:24:21
silkdong
Stepmom.
00:24:22
semendemon
I got my little king outfit on. i got like a pirate eye patch, cowboy hat.
00:24:30
silkdong
it prior
00:24:30
semendemon
I'm looking good.
00:24:31
silkdong
It's probably not too bad on the battery, too. Borderlands 4 probably it was like 20 minutes of 18 frames, and then...
00:24:34
semendemon
No.
00:24:38
silkdong
Then it's over.
00:24:38
Steve-O
you
00:24:38
BeyBlade
yeah
00:24:41
semendemon
for Yeah, for a $40 game, it's running perfectly, i would say, is the the word I would use.
00:24:42
silkdong
That it's over.
00:24:50
semendemon
Just that, no issues whatsoever. I've never had one with a Katamara game my life.
00:24:54
Steve-O
Yeah, like they are exactly like what they need to be. They have never had any like problems. There's no complaints that ever like ah arise from the Katamari brand.
00:25:06
Steve-O
It's just this like you play it, you have fun.
00:25:07
semendemon
can
00:25:08
Steve-O
1000%.
00:25:09
semendemon
consistent experience.

Steve-O

00:25:12
silkdong
Yeah.
00:25:13
semendemon

silkdong
Okay.
00:25:18

Wait, Devin, what I'm curious. What is your current game of the year frontrunner right now?
00:25:27
BeyBlade
Oh, man.

00:25:32
silkdong
You know?
00:25:32
BeyBlade
Yeah, i yeah i i I don't think I have a clear frontrunner.
00:25:33
silkdong
Pretty sure me and Steve are locks.
00:25:38
silkdong

00:25:38
BeyBlade

00:26:09
silkdong

00:26:15
semendemon

00:26:15
silkdong
It's just you?
00:26:17
BeyBlade

That is true.
00:26:28
BeyBlade
Um, man.
00:26:30
silkdong
Yeah, is it is it Ghost of Yotei so far?
00:26:33
BeyBlade
Yeah, it's almost like, like, default.
00:26:34
silkdong
What else did you play this year? Did you even play any games?
00:26:35
BeyBlade
I played a lot, dude.
00:26:37
Steve-O
You did play a lot, Devin.
00:26:39
BeyBlade
Yeah.
00:26:39
silkdong
but What about Shinobi?
00:26:41
BeyBlade
Shinobis up there, yeah. Um,
00:26:43
Steve-O
Ooh, that doesn't sound like a real contender.
00:26:45
semendemon
a lot of hesitation there.
00:26:46
BeyBlade
No, I'm just like looking through the... Well,
00:26:49
semendemon
Yeah. Yeah, that game...
00:26:49
Steve-O
you You said that if Shinobi's parents were listening.
00:26:52
BeyBlade
yeah honestly, well, honestly, man, Shinobi's real good.
00:26:53
semendemon
Yeah.
00:26:54
silkdong
Shinobi got good scores too, though.
00:26:57
BeyBlade
and Real good.
00:26:58
silkdong
yeah triple The AAA version of Hollow Knight, right? That's Shinobi is.
00:27:02
BeyBlade
Yeah, Ghost of Yote's great. um
00:27:07
Steve-O
Great's better than good.
00:27:07
BeyBlade
Player Obscure, which i I... I'll be honest, man. So I jumped back into that. The first hour was pretty dicey.
00:27:16
silkdong
Oh, what about blueprints?
00:27:17
BeyBlade
No, I, I, I, no, that's, you know what?
00:27:20
silkdong
It's just flat now.
00:27:20
Steve-O
i loved blue i loved Blueprints. Blueprints was an excellent game.
00:27:22
BeyBlade
Absolutely not blueprints. Um, so, uh, yeah, real quick. Um, yeah, I, I'm happy to say that the, the expedition is ongoing.
00:27:37
BeyBlade
um that first hour though, I was like, where am i What are the buttons? Why do I got jump dodge radiant dodge?
00:27:43
silkdong
Yeah, that's why I can't flip-flop between games, man.
00:27:47
Steve-O
Yeah, i can't do I can't do that, especially in an RPG, man.
00:27:47
silkdong
dude, fuck that.
00:27:48
BeyBlade
Yeah, it was tough.
00:27:49
silkdong
and yeah
00:27:50
BeyBlade
And because like I had like a month break. It took like a month to beat Ghost of the
00:27:54
silkdong
yeah dude fuck that
00:27:55
BeyBlade
So that was pretty dicey. But once I kind of realized where I was, i was smart where I left off. um And then I was like, okay, i got to get these two axiom things.
00:28:08
BeyBlade
so like i'd be So I did the one with all the faces, and I'm doing the dance lady now.
00:28:08
Steve-O
oh Which one did you do first?
00:28:13
Steve-O
Okay. That's what I did.
00:28:16
BeyBlade
Okay. I feel like that's kind of what it leans towards. Anyway, so Steve, where would you say I'm at in this story?
00:28:22
Steve-O
Um, you are ah about, I would say,
00:28:23
BeyBlade
Once I beat that.
00:28:30
silkdong
What's your hour mark right now, Devin? you know?
00:28:33
BeyBlade
don't even know. No, not top my head.
00:28:35
Steve-O
you are right before, I would say, the beginning of Act 3. So you're still in Act 2, like, definitely, like, in the midpoint area.
00:28:45
BeyBlade
Yeah, yeah, man. So would you say I'm like halfway there?
00:28:50
Steve-O
i would say you're halfway there.
00:28:50
BeyBlade
More than halfway?
00:28:51
Steve-O
you yeah. Yeah.
00:28:51
BeyBlade
Okay, okay, okay, okay. um and And I'll be honest. I do everything before I go Like I went to every little island. I can only swim. I can't go underwater. I can't fly yet.
00:29:04
BeyBlade
So I've been doing that. But very, very special shout out because this batch goes...
00:29:11
Steve-O
I want to hear more about this game because been hearing it's crazy good.
00:29:14
BeyBlade
Yeah, this is game fucking rules. So it's ah barely a game. that's just like Let's just get that out of the way. It is like watching an episode of like Invincible or something like that.
00:29:26
silkdong
But you're making choices though, right?
00:29:27
BeyBlade
ah
00:29:28
silkdong
It's like it's like a...
00:29:28
BeyBlade
You're making choices. and like the So the first, I think there's a total of eight chapters. Only four are out. Four or five are out out right now.
00:29:37
Steve-O
yeah.
00:29:37
BeyBlade
um And I...
00:29:38
silkdong
ah This is getting good scores too.
00:29:40
BeyBlade
I'll be honest. I was little shocked by how quickly I was burning through them. Like I was like, oh my God, that felt like it was like 20 minutes.
00:29:47
Steve-O
yeah
00:29:47
BeyBlade
um But it's like legitimately smart. It's like well written, legitimately well written. Like um you play this Robbie Robertson who plays as he's a hero called Mecha Man.
00:30:05
BeyBlade
And yeah, it's Aaron Paul and his suit gets destroyed.
00:30:05
silkdong
Is that Aaron Paul?
00:30:10
BeyBlade
ah During a fight with ah this villain called Shroud who killed his killed his father. And um he is a very kind of like over it type of hero. He's like, yeah, he's definitely wizened. He's he's like a vet. He's a pro.
00:30:28
BeyBlade
But during like this initial sequence, he loses his suit. And he's like... Yeah, I guess I just got to retire because I don't have ah millions of dollars to make a new suit. So like, sorry.
00:30:41
BeyBlade
And then um he meets this character um Starblazer or something to that effect.
00:30:46
silkdong
that Abby?
00:30:48
BeyBlade
That's yeah the blonde, the blonde kind of superhero chick, Abby.
00:30:48
silkdong
Abby's voice?
00:30:52
silkdong
That's Laura Bailey.
00:30:53
BeyBlade
Yeah, Laura Bailey. And she like hits on she's she's like definitely coming on to you at this bar. um And then you find out like, you know, she's trying to basically get you to take this job at the dispatch, as a dispatcher.
00:31:10
BeyBlade
But, like, you know, obviously decisions may vary, but I ended up kissing her, and she's like, oh, I definitely gave you the wrong impression. I'm really sorry about that.
00:31:21
semendemon
Jesus. Hmm.
00:31:21
Steve-O
Oh, no.
00:31:22
BeyBlade
oh dude, so so then, dude, I take this job, and then I get in a fight.
00:31:25
silkdong
ah
00:31:26
semendemon
her
00:31:27
BeyBlade
Like, so basically, and the game, here the game part of it, air quotes, game game um is you are you have a roster of characters. You have the worst of the worst characters.
00:31:39
BeyBlade
You basically have ah former villains that are trying to be heroes. ah So there's this character called Flambe who has fire powers. There's a character called Invisigal who can turn invisible, but only when she holds her breath.
00:31:54
BeyBlade
Also, is asthma is she has asthma. Uh, there's a character called Rook who's a bat, but every other mission he goes on, he turns into like a giant man bat monster.
00:32:09
BeyBlade
But his normal form is he's just a bat that goes to Harvard who can't stop talking about how he went to Harvard. Um, so there, and there's like a little demon lady called malevolence and it's just, they're fun characters, but basically,
00:32:22
BeyBlade
ah You're watching this dispatch board. An alert goes up, tells you kind of what they're looking for. Hey, we need a public speaker to like, you know, jazz up our shit. Hey, there's robbers.
00:32:33
BeyBlade
ah hey Hey, you need to protect the client. All of your heroes have different... um you know, like attribute points, right? Some are stronger combat. Some are stronger with charisma. Some are stronger with intelligence.
00:32:48
BeyBlade
And then throughout the throughout the dispatches, if you do a successful one, they get they can level up and they get points. And you have like shifts where you do that. But obviously the story kind of drives everything.
00:33:01
BeyBlade
So like your first dispatch is everybody just is... eating shit because no one's listening to you. The second one, you're going fire somebody. And then so all the heroes, you know, start fucking each other over, which makes your dispatch overall like a lot weaker. Like you keep failing missions because they're like, hey, I was trying to go to this thing and then so-and-so like threw me in the pool and, you know, now I can't go solve the crime or whatever.
00:33:29
BeyBlade
um But then there's like plots on this and then there's, a I'm already deep in a love triangle. And it's a good one, dude. um
00:33:39
silkdong
yeah You're into it.
00:33:39
BeyBlade
like One of the episodes, dude, one of the episodes starts. And, ah you know, I... I don't think this is a spoiler, but the other love interest is this chick by the Invisigal girl ah who's like a, you know, she's like a punk rock badass, kind of takes no shit.
00:34:00
BeyBlade
And clearly you guys don't like each other. And then one, like episode three or four starts and she has an like an aggressive sex dream about you. And it's it's aggressive and it's it's very, it's in your face.
00:34:15
BeyBlade
and And then like the whole, you know, rest of that day, she keeps staring at you and you're like, what is your fucking deal? You know, and then depending on your choices, things can happen. um But dude, it is just really fucking just it's an enjoyable little romp.
00:34:36
BeyBlade
I spent about two hours, I think, and I did the first like four. I'm caught up. you know, cause I think they're dropping, I think the rest of the, yeah, I honestly, I'd say it's like 20 minutes an episode, maybe 30.
00:34:44
silkdong
They're short.
00:34:48
semendemon
Thank you.
00:34:50
BeyBlade
Um, but then like, um, cause it's not like the old telltale games where you stand there and then you like walk around and then you can talk to him.
00:34:58
silkdong
Yeah.
00:34:59
BeyBlade
It's much more cinematic.
00:34:59
silkdong
Right, right, right.
00:35:00
Steve-O
It's all show.
00:35:01
BeyBlade
Um, yeah, it's like all shows.
00:35:01
silkdong
Oh, okay, okay.
00:35:03
BeyBlade
So it's really moving. Um, But yeah, I think the rest of the episodes are go are due to come out by the end of November. I think it's like November, you know, this Friday, next Friday, the Friday after that.
00:35:12
Steve-O
OK.
00:35:16
BeyBlade
All the rest are should be, you know, out. And man, it's just really good. I don't know. It's kind of like one of the best shows I've watched in a weird way.
00:35:28
silkdong
man, okay.
00:35:29
Steve-O
Hey, that's awesome.
00:35:29
silkdong
Interesting.
00:35:29
semendemon
Okay.
00:35:30
BeyBlade
ah It's I think it's I mean, you know, it's probably too rich.
00:35:33
semendemon
Is it weird to say that I kind of want to wait until it's finished? Like then I'll pick it all up.
00:35:37
BeyBlade
No, it's fine. But like I said, like it's going to be done by the end of the month.
00:35:40
semendemon
Okay.
00:35:41
BeyBlade
So like if you picked it up now, by the time you probably get around to it, it'll be done. um But yeah, man.
00:35:51
silkdong
It's very it's verified on Steam deck, Chris, I'm sure it'll be running okay.
00:35:54
semendemon

00:36:11
silkdong

BeyBlade
And then ah there's a Superman-esque character called Phenomena Man. And nobody knows how to say his name right.
00:36:19
semendemon
Phenomenon man.
00:36:20
BeyBlade
Yeah, and he's... It's ah it's just... It's a hoot, dude. I really am ah enjoying it. And in a way, it was like kind of perfect that I... Because I touched that first before getting back into Claire Obscure because I was like...
00:36:37
BeyBlade

00:38:38
silkdong
Right.
00:38:39
BeyBlade
Um, but it's, you know, it's not silksong, right? It's not Claire obscure. It's not, a not at all, but it's, it's still fun because like, you know, I had to fire, i had to fire a hero for my team.

00:41:57
BeyBlade
ah But it's just.

Steve-O
Eh, you didn't respect this anyway.
00:42:53
BeyBlade
Oh, yeah, there's a big, ah there's a big, like, clay-faced looking guy.
00:42:55
semendemon
yeah yeah
00:42:59
BeyBlade
He's not, he doesn't. He's just a big guy. He's a big guy named Golem. ah Anyway, yeah, the game fucking rips. Check it out. But ah also, I'm just to throw it out there.
00:43:12
BeyBlade
Two things. ah I may have said this last week, but I beat Ghost of Yotei. Officially ran credits.
00:43:18
semendemon
Boom.
00:43:19
Steve-O
boom
00:43:20
BeyBlade
All six are done.
00:43:21
semendemon
Finished.
00:43:22
BeyBlade
Yotei's six. And I, let's guys.
00:43:23
semendemon
Done. History.
00:43:25
BeyBlade
I did it, though. I found the fun in Ball Pit.
00:43:29
silkdong
Okay, so you you're you're walking that back now?
00:43:30
BeyBlade
I was like, okay.
00:43:31
semendemon
You cracked the code.
00:43:33
BeyBlade
I don't know if I'm walking it back because like while I did find it and then it did turn into like a three-hour session of me going and like, just staring at my screen.
00:43:43
BeyBlade
um I kind of put it down and i was like, I could easily just not play this ever again at the same time. Because it has this weird farming sim in it that I cannot stand.
00:43:58
semendemon
Mm-hmm.
00:43:58
BeyBlade
And it's kind of...
00:43:59
silkdong
What's wrong with farming, Sims?
00:43:59
BeyBlade
it's Because you can only farm between your runs and you send them out to you know kind of farm, but they act just like the bouncy balls do.
00:44:12
BeyBlade
So if you send them straight, they're just going to go straight back and bounce. So then you want them to like bounce around your town and then like you can only do so much.
00:44:19
semendemon
Straight balls and back, right?
00:44:21
BeyBlade
Yeah, it's it's just... it's It's fucking annoying, to be honest. Like... Yeah, it's it's I found the fact that the game is a game, you know, and it's OK. I get why people were going crazy for it.
00:44:37
BeyBlade
But at the end of the day, I still don't know if it's really for me. But we can do. I'm just glad I'm not psychotic anymore.
00:44:46
semendemon
Hmm.
00:44:47
BeyBlade
i I literally thought i no I thought I was going crazy, dude.
00:44:47
semendemon
I don't know about that. I don't know about that, Devin.
00:44:51
BeyBlade
Yeah, maybe not.
00:44:52
silkdong
Yeah, you're pretty psychotic.
00:44:53
BeyBlade
Yeah.
00:44:54
Steve-O
I don't think so, Dev.
00:44:55
BeyBlade
Oh, all right, guys. Whatever, guys.
00:44:59
semendemon
Yeah, yeah.
00:45:01
BeyBlade
Also, I finished ah Dragon Ball Daima. i finished the...
00:45:05
silkdong

00:45:06
BeyBlade

Dragon Ball's Cultural Impact

00:45:10
BeyBlade
final...
00:45:10
silkdong
Anime.
00:45:11
BeyBlade
That is the final Dragon Ball anime by Akira Toriyama before he passed away.
00:45:17
Steve-O
Damn.
00:45:17
BeyBlade
It was kind of cute. I was, like, mansplaining Super Saiyan 4 to Jenny. was like, well, see, because it's like it was in GT, but GT technically isn't canon.
00:45:28
BeyBlade
Like, technically, I mean, it's not canon, but, like, he kind of fucking threw you a bone. He threw you a bone. It's almost like he knew he was going to die.
00:45:34
Steve-O
And he made it Canada.
00:45:35
BeyBlade
he fucking He fucking made it rip. He made a roll. Man, that... Dragon Ball is just... It's just, like, the best anime, I think. Yeah, I...
00:45:45
Steve-O
Ever?
00:45:47
BeyBlade
du yeah
00:45:47
silkdong
I thought it didn't count as an anime to some people.
00:45:48
BeyBlade
ah
00:45:51
BeyBlade
To who? They're wrong. It's like the anime, dude.
00:45:53
semendemon
No, it's not an anime.
00:45:54
silkdong
I'm just saying.
00:45:55
semendemon
It's a romantic comedy.
00:45:55
BeyBlade
Yeah, it's...
00:45:55
silkdong
Just saying.
00:45:57
BeyBlade
Dude, like... Yeah, man, I know it's basic and it's super vanilla to be like, oh, Dragon Ball is like the best anime ever. But like...
00:46:04
semendemon
who It is.
00:46:06
BeyBlade
Dude, it's kind of like... um It's like a Nintendo Zelda or like Mario game where it's just like...
00:46:08
Steve-O
Oh, Devin.
00:46:12
Steve-O
That's fair.
00:46:14
BeyBlade
Yeah, listen, it's still going to fucking roll. It doesn't matter if it's going to be this, that, know, it's just still going to be like, Hey, check this thing out.
00:46:21
silkdong
Thank you.
00:46:21
BeyBlade
And like in a bubble, it fucking rips and, uh, it's amazing. So deal with it. You know, what are you going to So.

Anyway, love this movie.
00:47:23
BeyBlade
Yeah, okay.
00:47:24
semendemon
anyway i um i love this movie I really did um retrospect. And I had to really kind of think about if it was better than, than poor things or not, because I really loved poor things.
00:47:36
silkdong
i thought I thought you were going to say but one battle after another. was it Was it as good as that?
00:47:44
BeyBlade
No. No. it's It's a confident no.
00:47:48
semendemon
No, no.
00:47:48
BeyBlade
That doesn't mean it's bad. It just means no
00:47:51
silkdong
I mean, it's just a question I asked you guys.
00:47:53
semendemon
Yeah, it's fair.
00:47:53
silkdong
I don't mean to pull your arm.
00:47:54
semendemon
It's fair. I think, I think about it because I do think, if i Maybe if I saw this first,
00:48:05
silkdong
That would have been your number one?
00:48:05
semendemon
it could have pushed me. I don't know.
00:48:07
silkdong
until, until. Interesting.
00:48:08
semendemon
Maybe I need to see both again, which I will. you know i would love that.
00:48:12
silkdong
I do want to watch one battle after another again.
00:48:15
semendemon
um I love this movie. i However, I don't think it's better than Four Things.
00:48:24
semendemon
That's just a personal thing, I think, though. I think this is...
00:48:27
BeyBlade
I liked four things more, I think.
00:48:28
silkdong
Was it better than, um, than Terminator 2, though? That's what I would like to know.
00:48:31
Steve-O
um
00:48:34
BeyBlade
No.
00:48:35
Steve-O
the t2 challenge
00:48:35
semendemon
man
00:48:36
BeyBlade
Chris? Yeah. Careful, Chris.
00:48:37
semendemon
neither was one battle after another you really want to get you want to get affected
00:48:42
BeyBlade
Fair. That's fair.
00:48:43
silkdong
It's pretty quiet. I don't know.
00:48:44
Steve-O
that's fair that's fairness's
00:48:45
BeyBlade
That's fair. No, no, that's accurate. That's accurate.
00:48:48
silkdong
Okay. All right.
00:48:48
semendemon
that's just that's just the way the
00:48:49
BeyBlade
Yeah.

Film Analysis: Begonia and Comparisons

00:48:50
BeyBlade
um So i I had a complaint that I felt like the movie just felt like really long. And then I looked it up. It's only... I say only. It's two hours like flat.
00:48:50
semendemon
cookie crumbles merchantly
00:49:00
semendemon
I'd love, I had no problem with the pacing.
00:49:00
BeyBlade
Yeah.
00:49:03
BeyBlade
Yeah.
00:49:03
semendemon
I was not at all. That didn't affect me at all. I, I, I thought like I was enraptured by it specifically by how violent it was.
00:49:07
BeyBlade
It is.
00:49:13
semendemon
i was not expecting that.
00:49:15
BeyBlade
Yeah.
00:49:16
semendemon
That was a, a part of it that, ah that was, very, it was pretty shocking in general.
00:49:17
BeyBlade
and this
00:49:23
semendemon
Um,
00:49:23
BeyBlade
Yeah, it's just it's just a lot of it's just like a lot of talking and then things happen in the order that they're talking about it, which isn't bad.
00:49:31
semendemon
Yeah.
00:49:33
BeyBlade
It's just like not hyper entertaining.
00:49:34
semendemon
It's not as complex as, it's not as complex as something like poor things, which is why I think poor things is poor things is a Tim Burton movie for poor things is a Tim Burton movie for like adults, you know, like an, an R rated, wonderful, mature film.
00:49:38
silkdong
you
00:49:42
BeyBlade
Yeah, like poor things is a journey, dude. like
00:49:49
BeyBlade
That's pretty fair. That's actually from really good description.
00:49:55
semendemon
And this, it just doesn't have that level of of style and complexity. Yeah. that that poor thing says but
00:50:02
BeyBlade
Yeah. And it's got, it's got good, performance it's got really good performance. I think performances that will probably age better with time, especially upon like maybe multiple viewings.
00:50:13
semendemon
i think the past couple films including it i'm you know eddington this and one bad officer or another they're all kind of hovering around the same shit you know pile that is america uh
00:50:26
BeyBlade
but but Yeah.
00:50:27
semendemon
Yeah. Like, if he and it's, it's, this one was the, I'd say the, probably the darkest, obviously. Yeah, definitely the darkest considering, considering everything that happens.
00:50:39
BeyBlade
It's pretty dark. It's pretty dark, dude.
00:50:42
semendemon
um You know, Eddington was dark, um but yeah this shares a lot of DNA with Eddington too. I feel like it's all like how,
00:50:53
semendemon
People's conspiracy theories are absolutely fucking bonkers stupid. And actually seeing them with your own eyes, you're like, oh my god, this is so dumb. You know? Like, it is so completely wacky.
00:51:07
semendemon
um Yeah. It's just, I love it. I really do. ah really do.
00:51:18
semendemon
don't know if I love it as much as One Bell After None. Because I'm a P.T.
00:51:23
BeyBlade
Mm-hmm.
00:51:23
semendemon
Anderson boy. All things. And I really break it down. That guy's great. And I love. This is like. This is like his. One bout after another. I was thinking about. It was like his.
00:51:35
semendemon
Once upon a time in Hollywood. Like. It has the most heart. Of all of his movies. That he's made. And. It's like. The.
00:51:45
semendemon
The older director. Like honing his craft down to. A laser beam. Um, those movies share a lot of similar technique, you know?
00:52:00
semendemon
yeah. Anyway, I can talk about those movies. There's some really great movies this year. That's just, that's the end of it, you know?
00:52:07
BeyBlade
yeah
00:52:08
semendemon
And looks like there's going to be more, which is really cool with Frankenstein looks fucking awesome.
00:52:10
Steve-O
yeah year's not over yet think that comes out on netflix later this week it's like the fifth or the seventh yeah
00:52:19
BeyBlade
it's in like a week or two i think it's like november something like that yeah frankenstein
00:52:23
semendemon
That sounds about right. umm i'm done Frankenstein is something I'm very very excited for.
00:52:32
BeyBlade
ah Bride of Frankenstein? Not not so excited, I've said i said this before, but um my guess for that that bride that Bride of Frankenstein movie with um Christian Bale, I think the Bride is going to get...
00:52:35
semendemon
Yeah, that one looks like all i'll sizzle, no steak, if you will.

01:03:47
silkdong
Just like the non-horror aspects of that movie are absolutely terrifying. so
01:03:51

Apparently he said it was a lot to do with living with an alcoholic mother.

01:05:09
semendemon
Right. Right.
01:05:10
Steve-O
e
01:05:10
BeyBlade
going on a generational run. So, uh,

01:05:28
semendemon
I read Absolute Evil, actually. um And i I kind of like some of it, and I kind of don't. I don't know.
01:05:38
BeyBlade
who Who wrote it? Who's writing, i should say.
01:05:40
silkdong
Snyder?
01:05:41
semendemon
think it might be Scott Snyder...
01:05:41
silkdong
It's not the Snyder.
01:05:43
semendemon
a good question um it was fine i think it just gave up a little too much of the mystique of the world
01:05:50
Steve-O
o
01:05:53
BeyBlade
i know people were really mad about, what's his name? Green Arrow.
01:05:58
semendemon
uh well yeah i ain't saying shit about that um ain't touching that one ain't touching it um
01:05:59
BeyBlade
Pretty upset about Green Arrow.
01:06:01
Steve-O
possible spoilers
01:06:05
BeyBlade
a
01:06:09
BeyBlade
Yeah, absolute power, by the way, that's the event comic I read.
01:06:12
semendemon
I read that too, actually. i read that. That's awful.
01:06:15
BeyBlade
Yeah, that's really bad. Don't read it.
01:06:16
semendemon
That's butt cheeks. Absolute Evil, though, it's not terrible. And you get a little bit more insight actually into Absolute Joker too. um where he Where he comes from.
01:06:27
BeyBlade
oh. no
01:06:29
semendemon
But I just think it's a little too much. Like, I like... Like, I get it. i understand what's going on here. And I feel like this one just lays it out a little too neatly.
01:06:42
semendemon
uh for my liking but there is a nice setup at the end uh of the book so you that part i'm like okay i'm uh i'm in for the long haul maybe that was just what you needed to get people in the door in that first that first issue but um yeah was just it was a little too much explaining i think
01:06:42
BeyBlade
Okay.
01:06:47
BeyBlade
Yeah. That's pretty sick.
01:07:07
Steve-O
o
01:07:07
BeyBlade
Well, now i can get back to reading Dark Knight Metal.
01:07:11
Steve-O
I read the absolute Batman annual that came out this week. I bought it. I paid for it. I couldn't resist.
01:07:22
Steve-O
I was like, oh, can I wait a month?
01:07:23
silkdong
You need it, yeah.
01:07:25
Steve-O

01:07:25
BeyBlade
can Can I wait six months or whatever hobo plan?
01:07:26
Steve-O
Dude, that stuff that was coming out. I was like, I need to read this. And while it is like. It is its own thing. It is very much just like ancillary stuff.
01:07:40
BeyBlade
Yeah, it's an annual.
01:07:40
Steve-O
It's just absolute Batman being absolute Batman.
01:07:43
semendemon
okay
01:07:43
silkdong
That's cool.
01:07:43
Steve-O
and Just absolutely just give it just giving it to white supremacists. It's fantastic.
01:07:49
BeyBlade
Yeah.
01:07:49
silkdong
To average Americans.
01:07:49
semendemon
i heard the one the one thing i the one thing i i heard that is the origin of the batmobile the absolute batmobile right
01:07:51
silkdong
You're average American. terror He's being a terrorist.
01:07:53
Steve-O
ah You know what?
01:07:53
silkdong
He's being a terrorist.
01:07:54
Steve-O
You know what?
01:07:54
BeyBlade

01:07:56
silkdong
He wants you dead. DC Comics wants you dead. Guys.
01:08:04
Steve-O
i you know I do think it is kind of like a prequel to...
01:08:04
BeyBlade
don't know.
01:08:08
Steve-O
Well, there's there's definite definitely multiple stories in it. I do think the main story is a prequel to what happened in the actual like main run. Because it feels like a kind of like ah a little bit more of a younger Bruce Wayne.
01:08:23
semendemon
I also know about him meeting up with Wonder Woman too, right?
01:08:27
Steve-O
That's, I don't think, in the annual. That, I think, is a different story.
01:08:30
silkdong
i think that Isn't that Absolute Evil? Isn't that where that ah comes out?
01:08:34
semendemon
maybe Maybe that's the next issue.
01:08:35
silkdong
Isn't that crossover?
01:08:35
BeyBlade
that That's the thing.
01:08:36
semendemon
If that's the next issue...
01:08:37

01:09:31

01:09:38

There was that wonderful Lex Luthor scene, though, in that.
01:14:15
BeyBlade
Man, that's...
01:14:18
silkdong
Yeah, is it like the new 52 or something? Was it that was that it?
01:14:20
Steve-O
I think it was the new 52. Yeah.
01:14:26
Steve-O
I didn't know this, but ah I was watching something about how Dan DiDio for like 20 years wanted to kill Dick Grayson. And people kept fighting him on it for like 20 years straight.
01:14:37
BeyBlade
Yeah.
01:14:40
silkdong
Mark Waid. Mark Waid's just got a knife to his throat being like, fuck no!
01:14:42
Steve-O
No, legit, apparently that was like, Mark Waid was like one of the, like, premier people at the front of the fight being like, you can't kill him in this.
01:14:49
silkdong
Mark Waid and Grant Morrison.
01:14:52
Steve-O
Um...
01:14:52
silkdong
Mark Waid and Grant Morrison just have him over over a fire, being like, no, we will kill you.
01:14:52
BeyBlade
yeah i yeah i No, I remember that because um there's a scene in like Final Crisis or something, is one of them, where like...
01:15:02
silkdong
Oh, yeah. we
01:15:03
BeyBlade
Remember Nightwing gets a hole blasted through chest?
01:15:05
silkdong
yeah and it Yeah, and then he and then they don't you don't even see the the after effects of that.
01:15:09
BeyBlade
He has he has some he had some tape around his chest in like the fight in the background.
01:15:12
silkdong
Yeah.
01:15:15
BeyBlade
i remember reading about that, and that was like something where, yeah, it was like Dio was like, we're doing it. And everybody's like, this is fucking stupid.
01:15:23
silkdong
That's like when. um Grant Morrison tried to kill Magneto. And they're like. I don't think so Grant.
01:15:30
BeyBlade
Yeah, dude.
01:15:33
silkdong
He's actually Zorn.
01:15:33
Steve-O
Like Grant.
01:15:35
silkdong
He's actually Zorn. Sorry.
01:15:36
BeyBlade
Yeah, let's see. He died in 2019. Oh my God. Yo, Alfred's been dead for a minute.
01:15:46
Steve-O
Didn't he die in like the storyline with the Jokers or no, you said it was Bane.
01:15:47
silkdong
How did he die? What the death. Death in the family.
01:15:50
BeyBlade
No, Bane did it. Yeah.
01:15:53
silkdong
Oh yeah, we thought that he was going to die and death death of the death of the family. And and they kind of just...
01:15:57
BeyBlade
Yeah.
01:15:59
silkdong
It's kind of a wet fart, that whole thing.
01:16:01
BeyBlade
um
01:16:05
BeyBlade
Yeah, I don't i don't know.
01:16:06
semendemon
Sorry to interrupt everyone.
01:16:06
BeyBlade
It's too much.
01:16:07
semendemon
I did find the Predator garage beer ad and I just realized that Jason Kelsey
01:16:17
BeyBlade
God damn it.
01:16:18
semendemon
I saw it on the screen again.
01:16:19
silkdong
don't
01:16:19
BeyBlade
From last week.
01:16:20
Steve-O
Mm-hmm.
01:16:20
BeyBlade
Oh, ter I thought this a terminal riz.
01:16:24
silkdong
Mm-hmm.
01:16:25
semendemon
yeah
01:16:26
BeyBlade
Thermal buzz. Oh, my God. I love it.
01:16:28
semendemon
yeah that's... I had to throw that out there.
01:16:32
BeyBlade
oh
01:16:33
semendemon
was fascinated by that. for a long time thank you football it
01:16:36
BeyBlade
So you saw this, you were slurping, you were sucking down your fifth scotch of the night. And then you were like, I'm sorry, what is this?
01:16:46
semendemon
shocked me it shocked me it's at the end of the when they fight I think
01:16:48
BeyBlade
Wow.
01:16:52
BeyBlade
When does he steal a beer?
01:16:57
BeyBlade
Dude, that's, wait. No, you know, I just watched that whole whatever that was.
01:17:02
semendemon
never mind
01:17:04
BeyBlade
ah Is it true that Dan DiDio won it?
01:17:11
silkdong
Tried to kill Dick Razor.
01:17:12
BeyBlade
Yeah, it tried.
01:17:13
Steve-O
He wanted to kill him in ah Infinite Crisis. He wanted that to be the big sacrifice.
01:17:16
BeyBlade
Yeah.
01:17:18
Steve-O
And everyone was like, fucking no, dude.
01:17:20
silkdong
Fuck you. Fuck you, Dan.
01:17:21
semendemon
Superboy died, right?
01:17:22
Steve-O
Fuck you, dude.
01:17:23
silkdong
No, Dan! They just start bullying
01:17:24
semendemon
Superboy died instead.
01:17:26
Steve-O
I'm trying to remember, but like Darkseid shot Dick Grayson and everybody thought he was like going to die.
01:17:27
semendemon
Infinity Crisis?
01:17:34
Steve-O
But he got he got up and was fine.
01:17:34
semendemon
Well, Connor died.
01:17:37
BeyBlade
So, okay.
01:17:38
semendemon
Remember?
01:17:38
Steve-O
We traded we traded somebody for somebody.
01:17:38
semendemon
Remember?
01:17:38
BeyBlade
All right.
01:17:41
semendemon
Because Jeff Lowe wrote that really sad story about Connor dying.
01:17:41
BeyBlade
ChatGPT says... Yeah,
01:17:47
semendemon
You guys remember that, right?
01:17:47
Steve-O
Oh, I remember that, yeah.
01:17:48
BeyBlade
yeah, yeah.
01:17:49
semendemon
That was fucking sad as shit.
01:17:51
BeyBlade
Dan DiDio believes that Dick Grayson represents the end of Batman's youth and the loss of his age. So he kind of was like... This is like the joke aside of, like, Spider-Man doesn't work when he's married, I think, thinking.
01:18:05
BeyBlade
And it at keeping Grayson alive aged him and the entire mythos. He originally wanted Dick Grayson to die in the Infinite Crisis event. ah The writers, particularly Jeff Johns and Marv Wolfman, fought hard to save him, arguing that Grayson was too important.
01:18:20
semendemon
Fart.
01:18:22
semendemon
Fart hard. Hmm.
01:18:23
BeyBlade
ah fartart Final Crisis, there were again rumblings at editorial level about killing him, but instead Batman was killed by Darkseid. ah Forever evil ah tiil got part of his wish.
01:18:36
BeyBlade
Now his identity was exposed to the world and he was presumed dead. That's when he became a spy. You guys remember that?
01:18:42
Steve-O
Yes. Wasn't that good, though? Like the Grayson comic?
01:18:45
BeyBlade
It wasn't terrible. wasn't like amazing, but I don't remember it.
01:18:49
Steve-O
Probably better than it should have been, at least.
01:18:51
BeyBlade
And then there's a book, Batman Last Night on Earth and Rick Grayson 2019. ah Grayson was shot in the head by cagey beast and developed amnesia, calling himself Rick Grayson.
01:19:04
Steve-O
Yeah, they were like, we can't call him dick anymore because people make dick jokes.
01:19:06
BeyBlade
a
01:19:07
Steve-O
and People were like, what?
01:19:07
BeyBlade
Many fans believe the storyline was the echo of a DiDio longstanding desire to diminish her.
01:19:13
semendemon
Wasn't he like a cab driver or something? That's
01:19:16
BeyBlade
Dude, I don't... a
01:19:18
semendemon
what I thought it was.
01:19:19
BeyBlade
My name's Rick Grayson. That's so fucking stupid, dude.
01:19:22
semendemon
Hey, I'm Rick Grayson. I got shot in the head. I don't think too well. You're welcome to pick you up now.
01:19:26
BeyBlade
Yeah. ah Dick Grayson. but but but So the idea that Dan DiDio wanted to erase him or reduce his legs, he did strike a nerve. It became kind of a fan shorthand. Dan DiDio hates Dick Grayson. Even creators like Tom Taylor, writer of Nightwing Rebirth and the current Eisner winning run.
01:19:44
BeyBlade
Sure. I have subtly referenced that era as one of those eras that they wanted to heal. ah Yeah. Interesting.
01:19:55
BeyBlade
I don't know how, again, big caveat, ShaqGPT explained all of that. But, uh, so, you know, that's another layer of the ozone stripped for you, Steve.
01:20:02
silkdong
yeah
01:20:04
Steve-O
There you go. Boom. Ozone gone.
01:20:06
BeyBlade
Boom. The ozone gone. Dan DiDio, uh, doesn't like.
01:20:11
Steve-O
Dan DiDio gone. But apparently, that ah because Dan DiDio has left, I have found out that ah they have been pushing Dick Grayson to the moon over at DC in the mainline comics.
01:20:23
Steve-O
And now he is like a tier, basically, I hear.
01:20:23
BeyBlade
Yeah, I, uh, Well, so so in that absolute power run, that that ah event that I was reading, that's fucking garbage.
01:20:34
Steve-O
Yeah.
01:20:34
BeyBlade
um Apparently, ah during the whole event, ah the Justice League was disbanded and the Titans were like the de facto team and like Dick Grayson's the one who's like, all right, everybody, let's get your shit together and we're going listen to me.
01:20:48
silkdong
Thank you.
01:20:50
BeyBlade
And then he's you know he's like leading everything.
01:20:52
Steve-O
Dick's leading it again.
01:20:53
BeyBlade
Well, he was, but then, you know, then the Justice League reformed.
01:20:55
Steve-O
and Those, those jerk asses.
01:21:00
BeyBlade
so i was a bad idea. Maybe you shouldn't do that.
01:21:02
Steve-O
I've been, I've been rewatching the 2003 Titans recently. Teen Titans.
01:21:09
BeyBlade
oh the one um
01:21:10
semendemon
Oh, the original, the serious one.
01:21:10
Steve-O
But the, the original, the cartoon network, the, yeah.
01:21:13
semendemon
I love that one.
01:21:15
Steve-O
I won. I was like, damn, this is so fun. Like I was like TV in this era was like they were they were definitely like kind of like DC animation specifically was putting out content that was like way bigger than it had any right to be like they were definitely like
01:21:35
semendemon
His long form narrative.
01:21:37
Steve-O
Yeah, it was fun.
01:21:37
BeyBlade
No.
01:21:38
Steve-O
They were doing stuff, but they were also like telling stories that were like Slade related and they kind of stretched out. And I'm like, this is this is like way too good. and But then again, I got to remember, these are the same people who were also putting out.
01:21:51
Steve-O
ah Was that Justice League Unlimited at the same time, too?
01:21:53
semendemon
Yeah, exactly.
01:21:54
silkdong
Yeah.
01:21:54
Steve-O
So it's like they're already masters of the craft. The thing i did not recognize, though. God damn, that show likes to fucking blind you. It is very much flashbangs and like

Fortnite and Gaming Industry Innovations

01:22:04
semendemon
yeah
01:22:04
Steve-O
lot of like screen blanks like all over.
01:22:05
BeyBlade
no
01:22:07
Steve-O
It's
01:22:09
BeyBlade
That's pretty sick, actually.
01:22:11
Steve-O
good stuff, though. Still good stuff. So.
01:22:13
BeyBlade
Still holds up. i've been I keep wanting to...
01:22:14
Steve-O
Still.
01:22:16
BeyBlade
Of course.
01:22:16
semendemon
Is that Tim Drake as Robin?
01:22:18
Steve-O
No, that's that's Dick Grayson, because there there is an episode in the second season where Starfire goes into the future, and everybody everybody's fucked up, except for Dick has become Nightwing.
01:22:19
semendemon
That's Dick. Okay.
01:22:31
semendemon
Uh, okay.
01:22:32
BeyBlade
course.
01:22:32
semendemon
All right.
01:22:32
BeyBlade
Of course.
01:22:32
Steve-O
no
01:22:33
semendemon
Cool.
01:22:33
Steve-O
He's got beautiful hair.
01:22:33
semendemon
Cool.
01:22:37
Steve-O
And...
01:22:37
BeyBlade
What's the, oh God, what was the comic show? It was the animated show with like all the superheroes, like kids.
01:22:51
silkdong
Teen Titans.
01:22:51
BeyBlade
It was like, no, no, no.
01:22:52
Steve-O
Young Justice.
01:22:53
BeyBlade
It was all Young Justice.
01:22:55
silkdong
Young Justice. Yeah, that was a good show.
01:22:56
BeyBlade
um ran washington like I remember watching like three episodes and going, this is sick. Then heard it was canceled.
01:23:01
silkdong
Yeah.
01:23:02
BeyBlade
But then it came back and it had like another three
01:23:02
silkdong
But then they came back as like a miniseries or something, and...
01:23:05
BeyBlade
I think it had a pretty good run, but I ah never, never watched. It's really my fault, you know? What are you going to
01:23:14
Steve-O
Mm.
01:23:15
BeyBlade
But, yeah, kind of ah kind of crazy at the same time.
01:23:21
semendemon
do
01:23:22
Steve-O
Goddamn.
01:23:23
BeyBlade
God damn it, dude.
01:23:25
semendemon
Well, is that everything we watched this week?
01:23:25
BeyBlade
uh... Uh...
01:23:30
Steve-O
I've been playing a little bit of Fortnite because their new season started.
01:23:30
BeyBlade
ah
01:23:32
semendemon
Steve, what have you been playing?
01:23:37
Steve-O
Let's just say it's The Simpsons.
01:23:40
semendemon
The Simpsons.
01:23:41
Steve-O
The Simpsons. So they did their big end of Halloween event where um if you were playing any of the Fort Nightmares event in October, ah when you would drop, there was an appearance by Kodos and Kang's spaceship and it would fly by um the the battle bus.
01:24:01
Steve-O
And there was a tree that grew on the map. And on Halloween, it revealed that it was the Treehouse of Horrors.
01:24:08
semendemon
Ooh.
01:24:08
Steve-O
And it was playing old episodes of The Simpsons inside of it.
01:24:12
semendemon
Wow.
01:24:13
Steve-O
And then ah November 1st, they did a big thing where Kodis and Kang showed up and they ripped a hole in the universe and a big demon showed up. But then the Fortnite characters got in a fight with Kodis and Kang and they screwed everything up and they split the Fortnite island with Springfield. So now it is Springfield Island.
01:24:35
Steve-O
It is completely cel-shaded. It is all Simpsons. It's a Simpsons battle pass.
01:24:40
semendemon
Wow.
01:24:41
Steve-O
ah It has like Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa, Krusty. It's ah Maggie is one of the things that you can land in.
01:24:48
silkdong
Maggie? What?
01:24:53
Steve-O
Like she like kind of like is your glider.
01:24:54
semendemon
The what?
01:24:54
BeyBlade
I'm sorry. oh Okay.
01:24:57
Steve-O
It's it's she is in the little shopping cart ah from the intro that Marge has.
01:24:59
silkdong
yeah
01:25:03
Steve-O
It's it's there's a lot going on. um You can find like pay. There's it's it's a ton of inside jokes.
01:25:09
semendemon
Is Mo there?
01:25:11
Steve-O
I haven't seen Moe, um but Moe's Tavern is in the game.
01:25:16
semendemon
He probably has his head stuck in the oven.
01:25:16
Steve-O
ah Maybe. like The quickie mart is there. You can do prank calls to Moe if you find payphones on the map.
01:25:24
semendemon
He had a little sign on his chest that said no funeral.
01:25:24
Steve-O
um the The best power-up is Jebediah Springfield's head.
01:25:31
semendemon
Ah, yes.
01:25:32
Steve-O
So you have to find the Jebediah Springfield statue, you have to knock the head off the statue, and then you wear it, and it prevents you from one headshot.
01:25:32
semendemon
Off the statue.
01:25:41
semendemon
Dignity embigments the smallest man.
01:25:44
silkdong
Is that headshot an instant kill? Like instant death?
01:25:46
Steve-O
It's not an instant kill, but it's it's critical damage.
01:25:48
silkdong
Is that critical?
01:25:49
Steve-O
Yeah, if you're getting sniped, it'll probably do a one-shot kill, but if you get shot up close with a shotgun, it'll do that.
01:25:56
BeyBlade
Are you guys, ah speaking speaking of games like that, are you guys are all too cool for arc Riders?
01:26:01
silkdong
Yes.
01:26:02
Steve-O
um When I found out Ark Riders was AI, I was like, fuck you guys.
01:26:03
BeyBlade
I hear.
01:26:06
BeyBlade
But what is ai about it I don't get it.
01:26:06
Steve-O
i yeah Well, if...
01:26:08
BeyBlade
Like, people say that, but I'm like, what is that?
01:26:11
Steve-O
Like...
01:26:11
BeyBlade
What?
01:26:13
Steve-O
hold on. I'll just go to their page. Cause I was like, Oh, I've heard a lot of like hype about this. And then I scrolled down and, uh, AI generated content disclosure. Developers describe their game, use AI content.
01:26:26
Steve-O
Uh, during the development process, we use procedural and AI based tools, uh, to assist with content creation. It's just like, I'm like, you know, if you guys are going to cheap out on actual, like paying people, like I just don't really have an interest in it.
01:26:38
Steve-O
Like I'm sure it's a fun game, but you know, just ain't my jam.
01:26:41
semendemon
Oh, shit.
01:26:43
BeyBlade
So they're saying AI controlled enemies. we that's kind of okay. um you
01:26:50
Steve-O
It sounds like they used a lot of tools to come up with like assets and like textures and stuff like that.
01:26:54
BeyBlade
But isn't that kind of like, Oh, what happened?
01:26:55
semendemon
Oh, fuck me.
01:26:57
Steve-O
Oh.
01:26:58
semendemon
Oh, I just, oh, Jaden Daniels arm just snapped.
01:27:01
silkdong
Yeah, I just saw that too.
01:27:03
BeyBlade
Oh, sick.
01:27:03
semendemon
Oh, shit. Sorry. Sorry.
01:27:08
BeyBlade
No.
01:27:09
silkdong
Yeah, like...
01:27:10
semendemon
That was fucking brutal. I'm sorry.
01:27:14
BeyBlade
I thought you had a really strong opinion about AI.
01:27:15
Steve-O
Yeah, I was like, damn, Chris. All right.
01:27:18
semendemon
No.
01:27:18
BeyBlade
Like, oh, shit.
01:27:19

Oh, that was like watching Begonia today.

01:28:16
silkdong
I gotta delete this off my phone.
01:28:17
BeyBlade
Yeah.
01:28:17
Steve-O

01:28:20
semendemon

01:28:21
BeyBlade
Yeah, that's pretty that's pretty bad.
01:28:23

BeyBlade
Pretty bad.

silkdong
What were we talking about?
01:28:27
Steve-O
hey Hey, buddy, that's not how the arm goes.
01:28:30
BeyBlade
What's going on with NFL players and just their limbs bending the complete wrong direction week after week?
01:28:35
Steve-O
Dude, it might be might be Zen.
01:28:35
semendemon
Well, what a big guy.
01:28:37
Steve-O
I bet you it's all the Zen.
01:28:39
BeyBlade
Dude, everybody's too locked in.
01:28:39
semendemon
Yeah, you're right.
01:28:41
Steve-O
They're getting locked in
01:28:41
silkdong
And once you locked it.
01:28:42
Steve-O
And they're not locking in on where their arm's supposed to be.
01:28:45
BeyBlade
yeah Yeah, you got to loosen them joints, my guys.
01:28:48
Steve-O

silkdong
Anyway.
01:29:01
BeyBlade

01:29:21
Steve-O
Dude, I remember...
01:29:22
BeyBlade
Kirby Air Riders.
01:29:23
silkdong
Is Call Duty dead? Is Battlefield 6 just going to... Is it just killing it now?
01:29:25
BeyBlade
No. See, this I'm talking about. That's it. What an embarrassing statement to me. I'm not saying you, John, but I've i've read that, right? I've read that. And I'm like, are you guys fucking idiots? Because in two weeks when it comes out, everybody's just going fucking glazing it.
01:29:41
BeyBlade
And everybody's just going to forget about it. Like they're going to forget that they were saying, ah Call of Duty, is it dead? No, it's not fucking dead. I don't get it, man.
01:29:52
BeyBlade
As long as it's remotely good, it's going to fucking outsell and it's going to make, you know, billions of dollars. And.
01:30:03
Steve-O
Did you bid on it? Your fantasy?
01:30:05
BeyBlade
no, no i wait, ma no, no, no, I think I do.
01:30:07
Steve-O
Are you still sitting?
01:30:07
silkdong
Yeah, thought you have it. You have it.
01:30:09
BeyBlade
I do have that.
01:30:09
silkdong
You have it. You have it.
01:30:10
Steve-O
Okay.
01:30:10
BeyBlade
Yeah. So, so listen, and take, take my opinion with a grain of salt here, but.
01:30:10
Steve-O
Okay.
01:30:15
BeyBlade
Oh, man. ah But, Steve, to your point, Hyrule Warriors Age of Imprisonment, which, is that a new game, or is that just, like, a buffed up...
01:30:25
Steve-O
ah I think that is a new game, um but they've made two of these with Hyrule Warriors, and then there was the ah Breath of the Wild knockoff one.
01:30:35
Steve-O
ah This one is the, um whatever the last, Tears of the Kingdom one.
01:30:36
BeyBlade
Okay.
01:30:40
BeyBlade
Yeah.
01:30:40
silkdong
Wow, you forgot the name already?
01:30:40
BeyBlade
New Luminace. New Luminace is dropping November 11th.
01:30:42
Steve-O
I did. That's go to be an absolute blast, I bet.
01:30:45
silkdong
i have that i have that demo. I still haven't played it yet, though.
01:30:49
BeyBlade
Yeah, um Call of Duty that we talked about, Kirby Air Riders, and Terminator 2D.
01:30:55
silkdong
Not interested in the game. Interested in one of the $40 Amiibos, though, for Kirby Air Riders.
01:30:59
BeyBlade
I'm interested in it doing very well, considering it's all my ah that's all my thing. I think.
01:31:06
silkdong
What else?
01:31:06
BeyBlade
Did I get rid of it?
01:31:09
Steve-O
Kirby Air Riders?
01:31:09
BeyBlade
I'm drunk. Yeah, I'm drunk with power.
01:31:11
Steve-O
No, you have Kirby Air Riders. You are sitting on Mina the Hollower, which might be the thing that blows your limbs off.
01:31:12
BeyBlade
Okay.
01:31:16
BeyBlade
oh Oh, those goofs.
01:31:20
silkdong
Let's see, Ghost of Yota.
01:31:21
BeyBlade
All right.
01:31:21
semendemon
I mean, I see the projected points here, right?
01:31:24
BeyBlade
Yeah. um
01:31:26
semendemon
That doesn't mean anything to you.
01:31:28
BeyBlade
It does and it doesn't. Like, it really...
01:31:30
semendemon
Okay.
01:31:31
BeyBlade
There's some there' are some games where I'm like, i don't know why it's raiding... I call it the Stin. The projecting points are like how Stin would view it. Like Stin's like, I can't believe you got Borderlands. Why would you do that? And I'm like, because Borderlands consistently scores in like the mid to high 80s.
01:31:50
BeyBlade
And everybody laughed at me and guess what Borderlands scored?
01:31:52
Steve-O
They crossed the plate.
01:31:53
BeyBlade
the 80s.
01:31:56
silkdong
Yeah, I think people just get too...
01:31:56
BeyBlade
It's like, yeah.
01:31:57
silkdong
Yeah, people just get too attached to just, like, their own games that they like, I guess.
01:31:59
BeyBlade
Yeah.
01:32:01
semendemon
what was What was the highest score to ever win this series?
01:32:06
BeyBlade
Uh...
01:32:06
silkdong
Borderlands?
01:32:07
semendemon
No, no.
01:32:07
silkdong
Or...
01:32:08
semendemon
I mean, like, yeah, fantasy critic score.
01:32:08
silkdong
Oh, in Fantasy Critic? Claire Obscura, Expedition 33, probably?
01:32:13
semendemon
No, no, no. Not not individual games.
01:32:14
Steve-O
No, he mean he means like the year.
01:32:16
semendemon
I mean, individual player scores.
01:32:17
BeyBlade
Yeah. So in, so the first year we did it, I had 105. second year did it, 126. This year, think we already Rain's at 130 something, right?
01:32:22
semendemon
Hmm.
01:32:24
BeyBlade
He's 139. Uh,
01:32:25
semendemon
Hmm.
01:32:26
BeyBlade
this year i think we already have
01:32:28
Steve-O
Yeah, Reign's sitting on 139.
01:32:29
semendemon
You've gone through it.
01:32:30
BeyBlade
rains at a hundred and thirty something right
01:32:33
Steve-O
139.
01:32:34
BeyBlade
he's at one thirty nine
01:32:35
semendemon
Jesus Christ.
01:32:36
Steve-O
And that's the thing, Devin, like, right now you are sitting on three potential open spots for the next, like, month.
01:32:36
semendemon
and
01:32:36
BeyBlade
ah
01:32:45
Steve-O
And...
01:32:45
silkdong
Listen, man, Metroid Prime is on the table, but I want next year's draft picks. du I want a draft pick for next year.
01:32:49
BeyBlade
yeah
01:32:50
Steve-O
Oh, don't
01:32:51
BeyBlade
I'll be honest, I don't know about Metroid Prime though. like It might not be. ah Oh yeah, so to continue Steve's question though. So November is Call of Duty, Kirby, Terminator 2D, No Fate, Luminase.
01:33:08
BeyBlade
December's Cosmic Invasion, which that one's got ah that one stings a little bit.
01:33:13
Steve-O
I'm tanking that hit.
01:33:13
BeyBlade
From a fantasy critic.
01:33:14
Steve-O
I'm tanking. I thought it might get delayed, and so I...
01:33:16
BeyBlade
Oh no. No, we talked about it. Your chance... It was a long... it was a Hail Mary. You knew the odds were bad. But it was also like the only move you could have made.
01:33:27
Steve-O
Yeah, at that point, I'm just, like, diving in front of rain.
01:33:27
BeyBlade
so Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:33:30
Steve-O
I'm like...
01:33:33
BeyBlade
So we got that. We got Metroid Prime 4. And that's kind of it. So like... Yeah, man. In terms of like gaming this year, kind of a...
01:33:47
BeyBlade
For me personally, kind of like a kind of disappointment, the disappointing year, I think for me.
01:33:52
silkdong
Like overall.
01:33:53
semendemon
I agree.
01:33:54
BeyBlade
Yeah. Like, mean, Claire, even if Claire obscure, I beat it and I go, oh yeah, that's my game of the year.
01:33:55
semendemon
I agree with you, Devin.
01:33:59
BeyBlade
Like I'm pretty into it to a point where I don't think I'm just going to be like, it's not going to like completely change. I don't think it's going to be like an all timer for me personally.
01:34:14
BeyBlade
You know, like how, like when I played God of War or like Witcher 3 fucking this, that, and the other thing.
01:34:20
Steve-O
That makes sense.
01:34:21
BeyBlade
um So yeah, just this year, it's like, I think there's a lot of solid.
01:34:23
silkdong
Yeah, I get you. You need you have to you have to spend $70 on the game for it to to be to feel like ah feel like you accomplished something, right?
01:34:29
BeyBlade
like Yeah.
01:34:32
BeyBlade
Yeah.
01:34:32
silkdong
I guess.
01:34:33
silkdong
I see. see how it is.
01:34:34
BeyBlade
But it's funny because like, it is true though. Like, it's not like I didn't play a lot of games this month or this year, but like,
01:34:38
silkdong
It is true.
01:34:40
Steve-O
you've been You've definitely been playing a lot of games. it's
01:34:43
BeyBlade
what the What the hell have I been doing?
01:34:45
Steve-O
I think, you know, this year didn't have that, like...
01:34:45
silkdong
What did I play?
01:34:49
Steve-O
God Slayer like.
01:34:50
semendemon
You got Death Stranding too.
01:34:52
silkdong
Donkey Kong.
01:34:52
Steve-O
Game for you.
01:34:53
BeyBlade
Yeah, I mean, I could. I could play, but I played Death Stranding 1. I've been playing... i've The backlog's gotten... so I did some work on the backlog this year, which I'm, you know, personally pretty happy with.
01:35:07
BeyBlade
But that's not to say even, like... like Metal Gear Solid Delta still looks good, is good.
01:35:13
Steve-O
Did you play that?
01:35:14
BeyBlade
No, but like Silent LF, like I would play that.
01:35:19
semendemon
Steve, did you beat that?
01:35:19
BeyBlade
Fantasy Tactics, I would play that.
01:35:21
Steve-O
Uh, I, you know what, after that one real long stretch of it, I kind of didn't go back to it. And I didn't really have like a drive to.
01:35:27
BeyBlade
Too scary.
01:35:28
Steve-O
No, not too scary. Just like, don't know. It just like, um, don't, it wasn't bad.
01:35:32
semendemon
Not that interesting, huh?
01:35:35
Steve-O
it just, there might be a point where I go back to it. I just didn't find myself really kind of craving to jump back in.
01:35:44
semendemon
And didn't get its hooks in yet.
01:35:46
Steve-O
Yeah.
01:35:47
semendemon
Been there.
01:35:50
semendemon
they were lot games, especially this year.
01:35:53
Steve-O
Yeah.
01:35:55
semendemon
It's just the way it is. i agree with Devin. Like I've been, yeah, I wouldn't even say disappointed. It's just like ah the games didn't hook me that were popular. And
01:36:05
Steve-O
I think, i think John's sitting pretty pretty right now with silk song.

Narrative Choices in Gaming

01:36:10
BeyBlade
Yeah, John's karmically just in just heaven right now.
01:36:10
semendemon
yeah.
01:36:10
Steve-O
Like,
01:36:14
silkdong
I mean, I'm looking at the release that came out this year, and it's like, I didn't play Hades 2.
01:36:19
semendemon
No, I'm not going to play that.
01:36:19
silkdong
That's the highest scoring list the game on the list.
01:36:20
BeyBlade
And even then, people are like, yeah, it's good, but like I don't feel like anyone's talking about that game anymore.
01:36:25
silkdong
I didn't play Claire Obscure yet. have it. Love Donkey Kong.
01:36:33
silkdong
Silksong might be my favorite game of all time. I don't know. Maybe. up It's definitely like in my probably top five, top seven games I ever played.
01:36:42
BeyBlade
See, I'm definitely jealous of of you. I'm jealous of that. Like, i haven't had that.
01:36:45
silkdong
Like, did I have this experience this year?
01:36:46
BeyBlade
Like, you found a game that you're like, oh, this might be, like, life-changing.
01:36:48
silkdong
And plus, I... And, like, even, like, old games I played this year were, like, really impactful on me. Like, Red Dead 2 and... so Did I play Sonic? Yeah, I played Phantom Liberty this year, too, I think.
01:37:02
Steve-O
Was that or was that last year?
01:37:02
silkdong
Right? it was one of the two.
01:37:06
semendemon
I definitely played Phantom Liberty this year.
01:37:06
silkdong
um I don't remember. Yeah, so, like, there's that.
01:37:09
Steve-O
Oh, Phantom Liberty. I think you might have clicked this year.
01:37:10
semendemon
Yeah, I played that this year.
01:37:10
silkdong
Yeah.
01:37:11
Steve-O
Yeah.
01:37:12
silkdong
And then...
01:37:12
BeyBlade
Yeah, like Phantom Liberty is my game of the year. Like, i don't know.
01:37:15
silkdong
That should be the best game you've played this year. Yeah, i mean I don't know, man.
01:37:22
semendemon
Looking like Katamari for Chris.
01:37:22
silkdong
But yeah, like, just, i like, like, going going from, i don't really, don't know, I'm not really feeling this game, to, I need to buy this hoodie or I'll die. I'll need to buy this Hollow Knight hoodie or I'll literally die tonight.
01:37:34
BeyBlade
Yeah.
01:37:36
silkdong
And, you know, like, playing through both of those games twice, it's, like, kind of kind unheard of. It's not like I played Red Dead 2 and Cyberpunk back to back to back to back, you know?
01:37:48
silkdong
But again, like the these are games that I can play on my Steam Deck or my Nintendo Switch if I wanted to, you know?
01:37:53
BeyBlade
So did you, man, like the crazy thing is like, you just like, there was, you didn't even new game plus it. You were just like, now let me start from scratch again.
01:38:03
silkdong
there's no There's no real new game plus. And like, like i guess as a Metroidvania, like, you don't really... Like, the whole... The whole if like journey of the game is is like is going through the upgrades and stuff.
01:38:21
BeyBlade
Yeah.
01:38:23
silkdong
Silksong definitely had a Symphony of the Night castle turned upside down moment for me. And i haven't I hadn't felt something like that since I played Symphony of the Night.
01:38:35
silkdong
Where it's like, oh shit! I gotta go through the whole castle again and it's upside down? like It's basically... I mean, it's not exactly what what happens there, but it's very similar in tone and and everything um when you unlock you know the end like the end game of that game.
01:38:50
BeyBlade
yeah
01:38:50
silkdong
and like the the way ah The best way to describe it is like if if we played if we all played Elden Ring and then the last part of Elden Ring like when it first came out was you know you got to play Shadow of the Earth Tree right after.
01:39:06
silkdong
like That's what it felt like like the like.
01:39:06
semendemon
Oh, okay.
01:39:08
silkdong
The end game stuff of Hollow Knight Silksong
01:39:10
BeyBlade
Yeah.
01:39:12
silkdong
felt like like i feel like that they that could have been dlc that we got next year and it would have been just as satisfying because it was almost like playing through the game again it was like i said it's like it's like symphony of the knights upside down castle like that's what it that's what it feels like on terms of scale yeah yeah like it's like like on terms of scale like you're just like whoa because you think the game's over and then
01:39:27
Steve-O
Not as a huge moment in that game too. So yeah.
01:39:30
BeyBlade
yeah
01:39:37
silkdong
there's still loads of, gi like, that's why Symphony of Night is so fucking legendary, right? That's one of the reasons, like, like, that, that, that big gotcha moment, and then, oh, I have more game to play?
01:39:49
silkdong
That's awesome. But also, you know, like, a lot of this, a lot of it is very Dark Souls-type based things, where it's, like, just accomplishing it makes you feel like you accomplished, like, beating a boss is, like, an accomplishment.
01:40:05
silkdong
and feet in itself so it gives you the outside of the game feel feelings too of of achieving something i feel and like they like tell you like when you finish the game when you finish the game it's like it was like this in hollow knight and in hollow knight soul song where it's just like they give you like a basically like a congratulations you've survived our game good job can't wait to see you on the next on the next ride or i'm not sure what they actually say i'm just like damn you so you you you are aware
01:40:07
BeyBlade
Yeah.
01:40:30
BeyBlade
And they're like, how dare you, dude? I mean.
01:40:35
silkdong
that this game is fucking impossible.
01:40:37
BeyBlade
You're aware that you guys are toxic assholes. Okay.
01:40:39
silkdong
Yeah. So.
01:40:41
BeyBlade
ah John, by the way, just noticed you dispatches. was your third round draft pick.
01:40:46
silkdong
Yeah, dog. I knew.
01:40:48
BeyBlade
right
01:40:49
Steve-O
He was a believer.
01:40:49
BeyBlade
Okay. Yeah.
01:40:50
Steve-O
Believer day one.
01:40:50
silkdong
oh you want to trade?
01:40:50
BeyBlade
you yeah
01:40:51
silkdong
Oh, I guess we can't trade it now, right? Because it's ah it's already released.
01:40:54
BeyBlade
It's, it's currently, it's currently being scored.
01:40:57
Steve-O
You can trade. It's just yeah that would be the most messed up thing.
01:40:59
silkdong
You know what, though? My move of the year, I think, is me dropping 2XKO because I don't think that's coming out this year now.
01:41:05
Steve-O
No.
01:41:06
BeyBlade
and I think your move of the year was counterpicking Donkey Kong Bonanza.
01:41:08
silkdong
No, that was my worst move the year.
01:41:09
Steve-O
I think your move of the year was was taking...
01:41:09
BeyBlade
Yeah,
01:41:12
Steve-O
ah Wait, what was it?
01:41:12
silkdong
Oh, ah trading. was I traded GTA.
01:41:18
BeyBlade
yeah you traded away GTA. Well...
01:41:19
silkdong
No, yeah.
01:41:19
Steve-O
No, that might have been your move of the year.
01:41:20
silkdong
so yeah No, no, no. I traded for GTA.
01:41:23
Steve-O
ah you traded for GTA.
01:41:26
silkdong
Yeah. I gave up Metal Gear Solid Delta for GTA.
01:41:30
BeyBlade
oh
01:41:32
silkdong
and What did Metal Gear get?
01:41:32
BeyBlade
well
01:41:35
BeyBlade
ah kind a
01:41:37
Steve-O
it got good. It got 85.
01:41:37
BeyBlade
It got 85?
01:41:37

silkdong

01:54:30
Steve-O
I wouldn't be surprised is if it's like a day and date thing.
01:54:34
silkdong
Here's the other thing. Do you guys plan on watching the whole series?
01:54:38
semendemon
Yeah.
01:54:38

01:54:39
BeyBlade

01:54:45
semendemon
Yes.
01:54:46
silkdong
I mean re-watching 1 through 4 before 5 comes out.
01:54:49
semendemon
I was thinking about it. I'm thinking about it. I'm knowing the idea. It's a good series. I've done it before.
01:54:55
silkdong
yeah I kind of want to put the zen in. I want to line my gums with like six zins and just watch all of them before this comes out.
01:54:58
Steve-O
Yeah, you gotta focus.
01:55:02
BeyBlade
I think it's more interesting to watch, to to read about the world events that have happened since season one.
01:55:06
silkdong
I want to i want to overdose i want to overdose on on nicotine before this comes out.
01:55:11
Steve-O
Oh my god.
01:55:11
BeyBlade
Yeah.
01:55:13
silkdong
I want to be that locked
01:55:13
Steve-O
oh my god.
01:55:14
silkdong
I want to be Shohei Otani locked in. Ten strikeouts, three home runs.
01:55:18
Steve-O
John watched every episode of Stranger Things.
01:55:18
BeyBlade
like we
01:55:20
silkdong
and In three days! What the fuck? Is that even possible? is there enough time?
01:55:25
BeyBlade
I'm just more blown away by all the crazy life events that have happened since that show's done.
01:55:26
silkdong
um just want I watch it in 2x speed. That's what I was doing with some of the Godzilla movies. ah I increased the speed like the to 1.5 or 2x to get through it a little bit quicker.
01:55:37
BeyBlade
That's fair.
01:55:42
silkdong
Can you do that on Netflix? Maybe I'll do that in Stranger Things.
01:55:46
BeyBlade
Dude, go for it.
01:55:46
Steve-O
Speed run it. Yeah. Well.
01:55:49
silkdong
No, because the way the way I saw it with Godzilla was like, it's in Japanese anyway.
01:55:49
BeyBlade
Oh.
01:55:52
silkdong
It's not like I understand what they're saying. I have to read it anyway, so I might as well speed it up a little bit.
01:55:56
Steve-O
And you've already seen stranger things.
01:55:57
BeyBlade
Oh.
01:55:58
Steve-O
So you could be like, yeah, I seen that. Yeah. I remember that. Yeah. I seen that.
01:56:00
silkdong
Yeah.
01:56:02
BeyBlade
You know what's crazy? I rewatched the first season. I started the season one right after season four. um And it is like, it's like a totally different show.
01:56:15
Steve-O
it Season four, tonally, was such a drastic jump.
01:56:20
BeyBlade
Yeah. And like in a good way, it's it's not even like it's infinitely better, but like season one's like a mystery.
01:56:23
Steve-O
Yeah.
01:56:28
BeyBlade
You know, it's what happened to this kid.
01:56:29
silkdong
Yeah.
01:56:31
BeyBlade
And, um,
01:56:31
Steve-O
The stakes just get raised so high in that fourth season.
01:56:36
BeyBlade
Yeah, they really do. It's almost comical, you know, to be like, oh, you know, like Hopper just goes from like a fucking a drunk, like and a slightly alcoholic cop to like sword fighting fucking demons.
01:56:40
silkdong
It becomes less and less like
01:56:40
Steve-O
We're like, oh, Freddie...
01:56:42
silkdong
um big farm becomes less and less like e
01:56:42
semendemon
I think i think
01:56:52
BeyBlade
And you're like, all right.
01:56:54
semendemon
i think the scaling went well.
01:56:56
BeyBlade
Russian prison.
01:56:56
semendemon
like The scaling of the show pretty proceeded pretty naturally. And I think Vecna is a great version of that.
01:57:03
silkdong
Like, final boss.
01:57:04
Steve-O
Yeah, I was...
01:57:04
semendemon
Yeah.
01:57:05
silkdong
Like, like cul culmination of what what they were...
01:57:05
semendemon
like I think it's
01:57:05
BeyBlade
yeah
01:57:09
semendemon
They nailed it. And I feel that it feels like it was planned out a bit. Like they knew it back there was.
01:57:09
silkdong
Yeah.
01:57:12
Steve-O
i was really worried by the previous two seasons.
01:57:13
semendemon
Okay.
01:57:15
silkdong
How old are they supposed to be? How old are they supposed to be now?
01:57:18
BeyBlade
Well, I keep hearing.
01:57:18
silkdong
Like, compared to...
01:57:18
Steve-O
They're in high school now, right? That was...
01:57:20
BeyBlade
So the thing is, is like I keep hearing there's a time job, but like they looked exactly they were dressed exactly the same. And I'm like.
01:57:27
silkdong
Well, there was the one... I think it's three or four where they're, like, really pushing... trying to make them look way younger than they were it felt like it
01:57:35
BeyBlade
Yeah, it's definitely four. Yeah. Like, ah when Will has that fucking haircut, you're like, what are we doing?
01:57:40
silkdong
what's the best season what's the best season off the top of your head you think four four is like insane dude like like it i know but four was like oh i'm why am i crying in the club right now like watching this you know like that's
01:57:40
semendemon
ah Yeah.
01:57:41
BeyBlade
It might be four.
01:57:42
semendemon
Four.
01:57:46
semendemon
Yeah.
01:57:47
BeyBlade
I really...
01:57:47
Steve-O
Yeah.
01:57:48
BeyBlade
Like, two has some great moments, too, in it, though. But, like, the...
01:57:56
Steve-O
Yeah.
01:57:56
semendemon
That one scene where they the American government is attacking the FBI or whatever agents in that house is like, that is a wonderful action sequence.
01:57:57
BeyBlade
Yeah.
01:58:04
BeyBlade
Yeah.
01:58:05
Steve-O
a
01:58:09
Steve-O
yeah
01:58:09
semendemon
And it is tense as fuck.
01:58:11
BeyBlade
Yeah, dude, that's great. The whole fucking, um you know, um my God, Eddie, not Eddie.
01:58:19
Steve-O
Eddie?
01:58:19
BeyBlade
Is it Eddie?
01:58:20
Steve-O
Yeah, Eddie. The DM?
01:58:22
BeyBlade
eight I'm not going lie. Sometimes I've rewatched that scene he has with the girl in the woods.
01:58:29
semendemon
It's really wonderful, isn't it?
01:58:29
BeyBlade
Like ah that's, that is such a great, cause you just go, it's such a, yeah, it's really charming.
01:58:32
silkdong
Oh, yeah.
01:58:34
semendemon
It's very charming.
01:58:37
Steve-O
Right.
01:58:37
BeyBlade
It's such a moment where you're like, oh my God, like I love these, these characters are really great. And you didn't, you wouldn't think they do that in season four, you know?
01:58:45
semendemon
Mm-hmm.
01:58:45
Steve-O
Right.
01:58:46
silkdong
Yeah.
01:58:47
BeyBlade
God, that makes me want to.
01:58:48
semendemon
They were the best new characters in the show.
01:58:49
silkdong
Yeah.
01:58:50
semendemon
I even i think even better than Billy.
01:58:50
Steve-O
They really were like that first season or that first episode of season four, because like there was such a long hiatus between season three and season four that when you watch that first episode, you're like, oh, fuck, Stranger Things is back.
01:58:50
BeyBlade
Yeah. Yeah.
01:59:03
Steve-O
Like this was like, oh, my God, just the way they killed her in that, too.
01:59:04
silkdong
Yeah, dude.
01:59:05
BeyBlade
Yeah.
01:59:05

Absolutely brutal. Yeah, really, real kick in the pants.
01:59:10
Steve-O
God damn, dude.
01:59:12
silkdong
um I'm really, I'm really like, I'm kind of worried like what the after effects of Max is going to be.
01:59:13
semendemon
I loved it.
01:59:21
silkdong
Low-key, she's like, I think she's like the best character on the show.
01:59:24
BeyBlade
Yeah, yeah, and Max.
01:59:25
silkdong
Like, she's like, yeah I think she's like, one like if not one like one of the best
01:59:26
Steve-O
Max is excellent.
01:59:31
silkdong
like She was in a new addition. She wasn't one of the original and the and ended up having one of the best character arcs in the in the show. I'm kind of like really worried about what's going to happen with her like after how season four ended.
01:59:38
semendemon
Yes.
01:59:45
silkdong
Yeah,
01:59:46
Steve-O
are they I think Max is going okay.
01:59:46

Steve-O
I think fucking Steve's going to bite it, dude.
01:59:48
BeyBlade

01:59:50
Steve-O
I think Steve's going to bite it, and it's going to fucking suck.

BeyBlade
Half of these are probably going to get canceled. The other half they're not going to move forward with, and then they're going to pick one. Uh, so, and like, they're not going to talk about anything until this shit's done.
02:02:45
BeyBlade
But it's never gonna be good. It's not going to be bad. I know that. Uh, put it in the bank.

02:11:32
silkdong
That's what I'm saying, dog.
02:11:32

02:11:36
silkdong
Dude, this... This costume's tight, dude. Tight, tight, tight.
02:11:44
BeyBlade
You know what else pretty sweet?
02:11:44
silkdong
i do I do really, like in defense of Devin's gooning, I really do love Grace Ashcroft's like overall design. like I love her clothing, hair, like everything.
02:11:56
BeyBlade
like how she smells. How she sweats.
02:12:00
silkdong
Her bathwater texture as well.
02:12:01
BeyBlade

02:12:08
semendemon
All right. Okay.
02:12:11
BeyBlade
The Tigers are playing two nights.
02:12:12
semendemon
Two nights.
02:12:16
silkdong
But yeah, I mean, we'll see. If it's a gray statue, I mean, I'll think about it.
02:12:23
BeyBlade
But if it's a Leon statue where he where he's he's got gray beard and an eye patch...
02:12:23
silkdong
But like, it's a Leon statue, you know, it's really, yeah, it's really, it's anything.
02:12:25
Steve-O
Bye, bye, bye.
02:12:31
silkdong
Dude, he could look like fucking Mr.
02:12:33
BeyBlade
Thank you.
02:12:33
silkdong
Bean. He could be dressed like Mr. Bean and I'll get it
02:12:35
Steve-O
Whoa, whoa, whoa. How would you not buy the Mr.
02:12:38
semendemon
Yeah, I'd buy a bean i'd buy a bean statue associated with Resident Evil.
02:12:38
Steve-O
Bean Leon?
02:12:43
semendemon
He's in the game somewhere.
02:12:45
Steve-O
Mr.
02:12:45
silkdong
I like ah like the idea that it looks like they're going with um with charms too because they have a like that there's going to be a little bit of Resident Evil 4 in there I think because they're giving you a Mr.
02:12:45
Steve-O
Bean.
02:12:46
semendemon
Woo! Woo! Woo!
02:12:49
BeyBlade
fifty
02:12:56
Steve-O
Get those charms on the briefcase. Oh, I do.
02:12:59
silkdong
Raccoon charm.
02:13:00
Steve-O
Yeah, I dig that.
02:13:02
silkdong
So maybe they're they're having a little bit of that. I don't like Grace's little baby gun though. But you know she's a baby so it's too small.
02:13:09
BeyBlade
Oh.
02:13:12
silkdong
like How's that going to do anything?
02:13:13
semendemon
Isn't there a big-ass gun on on the collector's edition?
02:13:15
Steve-O
That's the thing. Maybe she's maybe she's not the one who should be doing doing the shooting.
02:13:17
silkdong
What's that going to do against Absolute Joker?
02:13:22
Steve-O
Maybe at the end of it, it's going to be Leon doing the shooting.
02:13:22
semendemon
Yeah.
02:13:24
semendemon
There's a big-ass gun on the cover of like the steel case that's coming out, the actual thing. I think that somebody's carrying that.
02:13:33
Steve-O
Although she does have a big gun in the apocalypse preorder bonus.
02:13:33
semendemon
It's huge.
02:13:35
BeyBlade
You know what's crazy?
02:13:36
silkdong
i know!
02:13:36
Steve-O
Yeah.
02:13:36
silkdong
She's got that fucking... What is that? What kind of gun is that, Chris?
02:13:38
BeyBlade
You know what's kind of funny, though, is like if Leon Kennedy had to fight Absolute Joker right now, the soon as he turns into a monster, i'd be like, oh, it's game over for Joker.
02:13:43
silkdong
It's like a machine pistol.
02:13:48
semendemon
Yeah, Joker's
02:13:48
Steve-O
Yeah.
02:13:50
BeyBlade
But Batman, Batman of all people were like, I don't know.
02:13:53
semendemon
done.
02:13:53
BeyBlade
i don't know. if his But Leon Kennedy.
02:13:57
semendemon
He'll teach him some stuff.
02:13:58
BeyBlade
Is this a coughing baby? Is Leon Kennedy the hydrogen bomb?
02:14:01
Steve-O
He might be the hydrogen bomb.
02:14:01
silkdong
Yes, he's...
02:14:02
semendemon
Yeah.
02:14:03
silkdong
He's always the Hydrogen Bomb.
02:14:03
BeyBlade
to To Absolute Bat?
02:14:06
Steve-O
That's why people are like, he he didn't lose an eye.
02:14:06
silkdong
Wait, you're saying...
02:14:08
Steve-O
He can't lose an eye.
02:14:10
silkdong
Yeah, he's incapable of losing an eye. Like, he's...
02:14:12
Steve-O
If he lost an eye, he did it himself.
02:14:14
silkdong
Yeah, he did... He surgically removed it by his own accord.
02:14:17
semendemon
wonder what this would be like.
02:14:17
BeyBlade
somebody infected it with the G virus and he popped it out
02:14:19
silkdong
Yeah, but I mean...
02:14:20
semendemon
I wonder what this would be like.
02:14:22
silkdong
um but like Look at Leon. like Look what he survived, though. like He's probably the luckiest, if not the most skilled, the luckiest fucking survivor in the series. you know
02:14:35
BeyBlade
oh for sure
02:14:35
silkdong
Because Chris had help. you know He had Shiva.
02:14:38
Steve-O
Chris always had help.
02:14:39
semendemon
i think you I think two was some luck.
02:14:39
silkdong
Leon never had a Shiva.
02:14:40
BeyBlade
yeah Oh, yeah, ada Ada never helped him with anything.
02:14:43
semendemon
i think I think four was skill.
02:14:46
Steve-O
Yeah.
02:14:46
silkdong
Four was skill, but is it was skill on the back of being bullied by fucking Krauser and the president for years.
02:14:51
Steve-O
Yeah,
02:14:51
semendemon
Well, of course. But too, he got some lucky rolls.
02:14:55
silkdong
Leon, he's just fucking...
02:14:58
semendemon
He got some lucky rolls in two.
02:14:58
silkdong
He's just Bennett.
02:14:59
Steve-O
yeah he did.
02:14:59
semendemon
I...
02:14:59
silkdong
He got his own... He had his own Bennett.
02:15:00
Steve-O
Once he had Chris help.
02:15:02
silkdong
Krauser was his Bennett, and he was Commando.
02:15:05
Steve-O
Leon.
02:15:07
silkdong
I'll be waiting, Leon.
02:15:09
Steve-O
Let out some steam, Krauser.
02:15:10
silkdong
He had that little fucking... He had his own fucking Wesker, Rebecca Chambers basketball picture, but it's just of Leon and Ari for it.
