00:04:23
Phantom Libtard
That's why I'm using it all.
00:04:26
slimeballsteve
That's fair. That's allowed.
00:04:27
Brother Devon
I mean, I'll be honest, like if you're, if you're dropping that much money for a pro, you may as well just drop that much more money for the controller and then the fucking earbuds.
00:04:38
MERLINCHESTNUT
got earbuds
00:04:39
slimeballsteve
Oh, the Sony earbuds?
00:04:39

00:04:51
Brother Devon
Yeah. The pulse wireless earbuds.
00:04:53
Phantom Libtard
Oh, yeah, I don't like the I don't like the I don't like the PlayStation branded headphones, though, to be fair.
00:04:57
Brother Devon
They look like they are $200 or 145 on either.
00:05:02
Phantom Libtard
Those are more expensive than AirPods. Those are more expensive than AirPods than at that point.
00:05:06

00:05:07
Phantom Libtard
So they're they're trying to they're trying to leapfrog Apple now.
00:05:10
Brother Devon
Yeah. No, it's the best part. No Bluetooth on these things.
00:05:13
Brother Devon
So why not?
00:05:14
MERLINCHESTNUT

00:05:19
Brother Devon
Yeah. Yeah.
00:05:20
slimeballsteve
Yeah, just this huge...
00:05:20
Phantom Libtard
Why would anyone, you know, real talk though, think about, why would anybody use fucking earbuds to play video games?
00:05:27
Phantom Libtard
Like that doesn't make any sense at all.
00:05:28
Brother Devon
No, I agree.
PS5 Pro Pricing Concerns
00:05:30
Phantom Libtard
either use like speakers or just get a big headset that has way better sound quality.
00:05:33
Brother Devon
I bought a, I have, I have the, uh, I have the PlayStation official head headphones.
00:05:37
Phantom Libtard
You fucking Sony pony.
00:05:39
MERLINCHESTNUT
I think Sony
00:05:39
slimeballsteve
I bought this.
00:05:39
Brother Devon
I don't have the earbuds, but...
00:05:40
MERLINCHESTNUT
Sony wants some form of sound cancellation so that the Sony ponies can hear their mothers calling them in for dinner while playing.
00:05:47
Phantom Libtard
No, but like my my like my whole thing is like why not get a why not get a headset like with like that goes over the ears that will have better sound quality anyway?
00:05:54
Brother Devon
Oh, I mean, they they have that, they have that, but this is like the new one.
00:05:54
Phantom Libtard
you know When you're gaming.
00:05:54
MERLINCHESTNUT
Amen. amen
00:06:00
slimeballsteve
Hey, that's just more money, more money they can try.
00:06:01
slimeballsteve
And I feel like they're, they're willing to like, just take shots. And if they fail, they'll just be like, we'll just try something else.
00:06:08
Phantom Libtard
We'll just try something else.
00:06:09
Brother Devon
Yeah, because I...
00:06:09
Phantom Libtard
like They're just in panic mode now because they're really afraid that Call of Duty is is is Xbox now.
00:06:12
Brother Devon
Yeah, I have the Pulse 3D wireless headphones.
00:06:15
MERLINCHESTNUT
It's kind of the, it's the Google method where they just keep, they keep making stuff and you they're like, but and don't
00:06:17
slimeballsteve
You got the wireless ones.
00:06:20
Phantom Libtard
They keep throwing in the fucking graveyard when it doesn't what it doesn't what doesn't it?
00:06:23
slimeballsteve
They're like the VR too. People don't like VR or whatever.
00:06:27
Brother Devon
Gives us shit.
00:06:28
slimeballsteve
Fine. Who cares?
00:06:29
Phantom Libtard
Yeah, so there there was a lot of discourse about this in the in the in the discord.
00:06:33
Brother Devon
The the pro, not not... Yeah, the pro class.
00:06:35
Phantom Libtard
yeah Yeah, the pro, not the headset. Yeah. And um yeah, I guess like just to address that, like I wasn't necessarily saying that I feel bad for people who buy
00:06:48
Phantom Libtard
The system I just think it feels bad If somebody wants this system like which is all right, it's okay to to want an over an overpriced like whatever I think it feels bad in general that if they Bought their games physically that they have to buy the fucking disc the disc And I like I say that I say that with empathy because I don't I actually am I think I'm pretty much all digital now Like I don't have any physical
00:07:10
slimeballsteve
That's gross.
00:07:18
Phantom Libtard
The only the last physical copy. Game that I bought was tears of the kingdom, because I wanted a little baby bag that came with it at Target, and then the one before that was Breath of the Wild.
00:07:26
slimeballsteve
Dude, that's a huge gap in time.
00:07:30
Phantom Libtard
That was those are the last few games. Those are the last few physical games I bought, and I honestly don't even know where the cartridges are right now, so.
00:07:39
slimeballsteve
Probably one in the
Digital vs. Physical Games
00:07:41
Phantom Libtard
I think Tears of the Kingdom is inside the switch, I don't know where my Breath of the Wild is, though.
00:07:46
Phantom Libtard
And that feels bad.
00:07:47
MERLINCHESTNUT
Last a physical copy of a game I bought was Elden Ring.
00:07:50
Phantom Libtard

00:08:08
MERLINCHESTNUT
Oh, why did you do this?
00:08:11
slimeballsteve

00:08:17
Phantom Libtard
I don't know.
00:08:18
Phantom Libtard

00:08:20
Phantom Libtard

00:08:21
slimeballsteve
i It cost as much as a new game, unfortunately.
00:08:24
slimeballsteve
I bought Minecraft Story Mode Season 1 for the Switch for a pretty hefty chunk of change.
00:08:35
Phantom Libtard
Why was it so expensive?
00:08:36
slimeballsteve
Because they stopped making that game.
00:08:38
Phantom Libtard

00:11:07
Phantom Libtard
And we even yeah, we even get we need to get to how much a fucking teeth like the bare minimum TV would cost that could take advantage of the hardware, right? You need like a $2,000 TV, right? Because

00:11:34
slimeballsteve
I'm sorry Dude Devin's future brew Oh, you've got the ah yeah That's the stuff that does the um but G stink precinct sort of
00:11:35
Phantom Libtard
Is that the math?
00:11:38
Brother Devon
I have the, my LG has like some weird, it's not AMD, but it's got like FreeSync or something like that.
00:11:38
Phantom Libtard
It's over 60 hertz.
00:11:48
Brother Devon
Yeah, I have AMD FreeSync. Oh, I do. It is AMD.
00:11:52
Phantom Libtard
Yeah, what's the what's the um the refresh rate of your of your TV, though?
00:11:56
Brother Devon
I don't fucking know, man.
00:11:56
slimeballsteve
It adapts, his adapts based on, but yeah, what's the highest he goes.
00:11:58
Brother Devon
Yeah, mine's adaptive. I don't know.
00:12:03
slimeballsteve
Get in there, touch start just start touching stuff.
00:12:05
MERLINCHESTNUT
Yeah, start figuring it with a screwdriver.
00:12:05
Brother Devon
It's it's it's downstairs. I don't know but uh, I listen the TV I bought was like It's a chunk chunk it was like 716 I think 1600 Maybe
00:12:10
MERLINCHESTNUT
Get in there.
00:12:12
Phantom Libtard
Yeah, how much is your TV?
00:12:16
Phantom Libtard
A good chunk, right?
00:12:18
MERLINCHESTNUT
sound Chunky.
00:12:20
Phantom Libtard
That's a lot, yeah. and like and that's just you know
00:12:22
MERLINCHESTNUT
Chunky. Chunky Mikey.
00:12:23
Phantom Libtard
I was thinking like maybe $1,000 would probably be, you would you would probably have to spend minimum for a TV that could get 4K 60 frames.
00:12:23
Brother Devon
last week 14
00:12:29
MERLINCHESTNUT
I definitely would have to get a new, I'd have to get a new TV.
00:12:34
Phantom Libtard
Because a lot of, especially, no, no, no.
00:12:35
Brother Devon
but I mean, but but I mean, the console itself would. If the console is doing it, then the TV be able to see like the free sync just bumps up the frames, I think, right?
00:12:45
MERLINCHESTNUT
I don't know man.
00:12:46
slimeballsteve
ah the The VSync, what it does is it makes it makes it so the TV just automatically meets the game's frame rate.
00:12:48
Brother Devon
Yeah, yeah.
00:12:53
Brother Devon
Yeah, like it it will it will kind of like fill in the gaps for like a for lost frames.
00:12:53
slimeballsteve
So you can get any choppiness or anything.
00:12:56
Phantom Libtard
Yeah, but you need your TV needs to. Yeah, but your TV also needs to have a high enough refresh rate to to be able to do it.
00:13:03
slimeballsteve
but brand What brand TV you got, Devin?
00:13:05
Brother Devon
I got a LG.
00:13:06
slimeballsteve
Oh, that's the best.
00:13:07
slimeballsteve
That's the top of the line right now.
00:13:08
Phantom Libtard
Yeah, no, here here. Here's an example. My laptop gets not 4K, but it's what's the one underneath UHD, QHD, QHD, right?
TV Specs for Gaming
00:13:21
Phantom Libtard
QHD is to. Yeah, 1440p. My laptop does 1440p up to 240 frames per second, right? But the expensive gaming monitor that I got that has NVIDIA G-Sync on it doesn't just get that.
00:13:37
Phantom Libtard
Like the maximum it can get is like 165 hertz. So I don't even get the maximum I can get on my um my monitor when it's connected to my computer is 165 frames, even though my computer does 240 frames.
00:13:45
MERLINCHESTNUT
UHD, yeah. Hmm.
00:13:51
Phantom Libtard
Could could do. So like you you still need a good monitor or a good TV.
00:13:56
MERLINCHESTNUT
That's the bottleneck.
00:13:58
Phantom Libtard
Yeah, that's the bottleneck. like You still need um a TV that has, and and and also, like a lot of TVs, actually almost any TV or monitor doesn't really have super high frame rates if you want 4K and an OLED screen too.
00:14:14
Phantom Libtard
So that's the trade-off too. I don't have an OLED screen because that that was the trade-off. I wanted the higher frame rate over an OLED screen because I think, you know, I mean, Steve, you you're well versed in this stuff. You'd rather have higher frames than like an OLED screen on your TV, right?
00:14:33
slimeballsteve
Oh, you know.
00:14:35
Phantom Libtard
No, come on, dude.
00:14:35
Brother Devon
No, no way no fucking way dude According to Cerny right doesn't most people play a fidelity move I wouldn't say
00:14:37
slimeballsteve
Dude, this dude this is an argument um I'm with you, though, where it's like certain games need higher frame rates.
00:14:38
Phantom Libtard
No way, Steve. No, yeah. Would you rather have high? Would you rather have four? Would you rather have high resolution like super high resolution or or better, better frame rate?
00:14:50
Phantom Libtard
You'd rather have better better frame rate all day.
00:14:52
slimeballsteve
I'd probably go better frame rate, but I'll take both. I'll take both.
00:14:55
MERLINCHESTNUT
I, yeah, I would like to be honest with you, John, I'd probably take the better resolution because I use it more like for watching movies and stuff on here.
00:15:04
Phantom Libtard
Yeah, but like imagine you're fighting.
00:15:05
MERLINCHESTNUT
I want that look.
00:15:07
Phantom Libtard
Promise Consort Radon and then he does the fucking photo attack on you and it fucking it.
00:15:15
MERLINCHESTNUT
yeah What you talking about? They don't do that. any
00:15:16
Phantom Libtard
I'm just. I would just say Chris like and it starters a little bit that would that could throw your timing off. I'm just saying.
00:15:26
MERLINCHESTNUT
I'm fine. I want to watch criteria.
00:15:27
Phantom Libtard
I don't know, dude.
00:15:28
MERLINCHESTNUT
like reason i'm like I guess you're right.
00:15:29
Phantom Libtard
Well, I mean, no, no, no, that's the thing they're like, like, I guess like you would be able like, as long as you have a 4K TV, then, you know, you can still get those resolutions from when you're watching movies at home.
00:15:42
MERLINCHESTNUT
But if I, if it was like a, it's not, it's not at all.
00:15:43
Phantom Libtard
Like it doesn't. Yeah, it's not like the frame rates are going to matter for a movie. And you could still. And that's what I'm saying is like you can still get four K on your PlayStation five now, but without 60 frames or whatever it is.
00:15:56
Phantom Libtard
Right. Is that what it is? Or is it eight? It does eight K 30 frames or four K 60 frames or something.
00:16:00
Brother Devon
Oh, yeah. No, I don't know.
00:16:01
MERLINCHESTNUT
i Remember me and Devin set it up for spider-man on my TV I know that was weird yeah and It's like what five five years ago
00:16:05
Brother Devon
Oh, that was it. Yeah, because Chris was like playing it on. He didn't know he had like the ability to. It was I had to go into your TV sevens, I think.
00:16:14
Phantom Libtard
Oh, maybe Devin fucked up your HDMI, then.
00:16:14
Brother Devon
And then what?
00:16:19
Phantom Libtard
He's like, you know what?
00:16:20
Phantom Libtard
I would take make an executive decision right now.
00:16:20
Brother Devon
Like three years ago, yeah.
00:16:23
Phantom Libtard
I would make an executive decision right now. Chris plays too much Elden Ring. So I'm going to nip this at the bud.
00:16:27
MERLINCHESTNUT
Hasn't even come out yet. He just knew it was going to be a problem. but
00:16:32
Phantom Libtard
Yeah, we're going to make sure he doesn't get to that point. This shit's going to fry and in two years, guaranteed.
00:16:38
Brother Devon
Yeah, I'm like trying to
Tech Purchases & Consumer Decisions
00:16:40
Brother Devon
figure out what the model was for my TV still. I'm like yeah delving into my. My fucking. ah Best buy purchases.
00:16:52
Brother Devon
LG 65 class C1 series OLED 4K Jesus.
00:16:59
Brother Devon
Oof. Yeah, that was funny.
00:17:00
slimeballsteve
Wait, what series?
00:17:02
Brother Devon
Class C1 series.
00:17:05
slimeballsteve
C1. Let's look this up.
00:17:07
Phantom Libtard
Series it is OLED, right?
00:17:08
MERLINCHESTNUT
Oh no, that's C1.
00:17:09
Brother Devon
Yeah, 17, June 2022.
00:17:12
MERLINCHESTNUT
You're not gonna like this though.
00:17:12
Phantom Libtard
Whoo and it's only and you got it last year, right? Yeah, it's still it's still oh
00:17:20
slimeballsteve
It's got that G sync.
00:17:21
Phantom Libtard
You got two years ago, it's still it's still like $1,300 now that TV Okay,
00:17:25
slimeballsteve
120 hertz native.
00:17:29
Phantom Libtard
it's not terrible it's not it's not great but
00:17:30
Brother Devon
So basic basically, I have the TV where I i should just buy a pro then.
00:17:35
slimeballsteve
You should buy a Pro.
00:17:35
Brother Devon
Sounds like.
00:17:36
slimeballsteve
Yeah, this is a Pro TV.
00:17:37
Brother Devon
Well, also also the scenario that like little Timmy gets a fucking pro for Christmas and then that he just doesn't have the disk drive or little Timmy like.
00:17:46
Phantom Libtard
Yeah, I know. I understand that. I understand that. But I'm just I'm just saying not even little Timmy, but like, you know, even somebody. Even adult Timmy, right, that buys his own stuff like if he wants to stay current with the technology like this is a big hoop to jump through and they and they make it even harder by separating the fucking disk drive in the stand.
00:18:10
slimeballsteve
It's, it's interesting.
00:18:12
Phantom Libtard
You know, like that's that's why it feels bad.
00:18:13
slimeballsteve
They're willing to make that call in the middle of the generation for them.
00:18:18
Brother Devon
They're willing to what what was it?
00:18:18
slimeballsteve
Like they they made that call in the middle of their generation where they were like, we're going to sell both to be like, what do we, so what do we sell the pro with?
00:18:22
Phantom Libtard
Yeah, yeah, I feel like that's not reading the room.
00:18:23
Brother Devon
You think I feel like they made the call what with the call? what What call though, like the the specs or the price?
00:18:30
slimeballsteve
Do we sell the pro with the disk drive or without the disk drive? And they're like, you know what? We're trying to get people to buy these from us.
00:18:35
Brother Devon
Yeah, like, cuz like, I mean, the thing is, right? And if we're just looking right at the price, like,
00:18:41
Phantom Libtard
Oh, wait, whoa, whoa, whoa, Devin, your your TV doesn't even do eight K.
00:18:45
Brother Devon
No, it does not.
00:18:45
Phantom Libtard
No, I don't think the PS5 pros for you, man.
00:18:48
Brother Devon
It's not for me.
00:18:48
slimeballsteve
you I don't know who the I do not know who the ps5 pro is for if it does 8k
00:18:53
Phantom Libtard
I just think it's I to be honest. I think it's like super egregious to like when I was like Oh, yeah, like when the ps4 Pro Came out like not only did they have like all these other reasons to get one at the time But it was only like a hundred dollars more and then I look it up and it wasn't a hundred dollars more It was the same fucking price as the launch price for the ps4 like that's why that's why that's why it feels horrible like seeing all this because now it's you got a double for essentially a um
00:19:13
Brother Devon
Yeah, yeah, I mean,
00:19:18
slimeballsteve
If you look at the, if you look at the inflation too, it doesn't even line up.
00:19:22
Phantom Libtard
oh yeah it's like it's more than double yeah it's more than double yeah I mean at least no not even all the bells and whistles Steve that doesn't even that that doesn't constitute all the bells and whistles like all the bells and whistles would be like it should come with a a headset like a fucking high fidelity headset and
00:19:22
slimeballsteve
It could be like five 40, like, yeah. And it doesn't even come with a disc drive. Like that's the thing. You're buying the pro version of something.
00:19:30
Brother Devon
yeah that's I mean that was the thing with uh that was the thing with like a game maybe a game yeah maybe a stand yeah
00:19:31
slimeballsteve
It should have all the bells and whistles, right?
00:19:47
Phantom Libtard
You know fucking VPS VR.
00:19:47
slimeballsteve
Two controllers, you have to stand.
00:19:49
Phantom Libtard
No, like but it's a bare minimum like it doesn't even it's.
00:19:51
slimeballsteve
A game, Astrobot, you can throw Astrobot in.
00:19:55
MERLINCHESTNUT
Yeah, you're kind of right.
00:19:55
Phantom Libtard
Yeah, it's not a complete. It's not a complete. It's not a complete product.
00:19:58
MERLINCHESTNUT
It should be a complete package to
00:19:58
Phantom Libtard
That's that's the that's the issue.
Future of Gaming Consoles
00:20:00
MERLINCHESTNUT
let you do everything that Tony has to do.
00:20:01
Brother Devon
Well, well, Chris, it probably has the other Astro Bot pre-installed.
00:20:05
slimeballsteve
That is ours, damn it!
00:20:05
MERLINCHESTNUT
Oh my god!
00:20:06
Phantom Libtard
Right, right.
00:20:07
Brother Devon
Got that one.
00:20:08
MERLINCHESTNUT
Oh, you're right.
00:20:08
Brother Devon
It's got that one.
00:20:08
MERLINCHESTNUT
Never mind. I'm getting it day one.
00:20:09
slimeballsteve
You right, you right, you right.
00:20:09
Brother Devon
Yeah, come on. Yeah, stay one now.
00:20:11
Phantom Libtard
Yeah, that's why it's just like it's like it's kind of like man like. And I wonder if that's a strategic move, like maybe this is Sony's way of trying to push.
00:20:23
Phantom Libtard
Digital downloads to their, you know, because that that generates that probably is just way more money in general than than like having to manufacture fucking Neanderthal caveman discs to send it to all the cavemen Sony ponies out there that don't know don't even know how to fucking read, you know.
00:20:29
slimeballsteve
100 percent.
00:20:37
Brother Devon
Oh, of course not, yeah.
00:20:43
Phantom Libtard
Fucking knuckle dragon. So so any pony caveman with their with their big with their big foreheads and their fucking giant eyebrows ah Was And it upscaled the it upscaled the old ps3 games like by a lot
00:20:45
Brother Devon
yeah Because like the thing is,
00:20:52
slimeballsteve
Dude, dude, if you can move rocks all day, you're going to make a lot of money.
00:20:56
slimeballsteve
You can afford one.
00:20:58
Brother Devon
So the thing is, right, is like I had a pro I had a PS4 pro and the hook for the pro was 4K and like HD. No. I mean, yeah, like, yeah, it had upscaling.
00:21:11
Phantom Libtard
Like, to make them, like, look good. And play better. That...
00:21:16
Brother Devon
It was. But like I'm talking about like the main hook was like, oh, it's got 4K and HDR. And then you're like, oh, sick.
00:21:23
slimeballsteve
Dude, the main hook was that extra line, that extra stack in the PlayStation 4 sandwich.
00:21:27
Brother Devon
Yeah. And the price was not like insane, right? It was.
00:21:31
Phantom Libtard
It was the same price as the PS4, Devin!
00:21:34
Brother Devon
Well, no, no.
00:21:34
Phantom Libtard
What do you mean, it's not insane?
00:21:36
Brother Devon
No, no. You're wrong. First of all, the PS4
00:21:39
Brother Devon
had gone down in price level. It was the same price as the launch. Right. And everybody was like, OK, that makes sense. Right. So then we have the five pro and it's got stuff and you're like, OK, this is all kind of within expectations.
00:21:54
Brother Devon
What I heard are the rumors. And then just like not in my wildest dreams that I think it was going to be seven hundred because I was like maybe six fifty with a disk drive and they'll be six without a disk drive.
00:22:06
Phantom Libtard
I think I said I think I said 700 the night like the day before and I was just kidding I Was fucking joking.
00:22:11
Brother Devon
Yeah, you were just joking because that'd be fucking insane, right? Yeah.
00:22:14
Phantom Libtard
Yeah, cuz that's like oh, yeah, I'm gonna go to the moon on my birthday.
00:22:18
Phantom Libtard
I Because because i'm I'm a billionaire, so I could go to the moon on my birthday.
00:22:21
Brother Devon
Yeah. So, yeah.
00:22:23
Brother Devon
So for whatever fucking stupid reason, they just said, yeah, this is 700. And, you know, we were talking about that and it's just like, Yeah, it's it's for the extremes, the hard cores.
00:22:38
Brother Devon
And yes, I could I could trade in my Series X and my base PS5 and get this thing for like 50 bucks. I could do that, but I'm trading in two consoles.
00:22:50
Phantom Libtard
I mean you were pretty much read it. Yeah, I was gonna say you're pretty much gonna do that anyway, but Yeah I mean this is like this is like No, this is like fucking there This is hunting this is haunting season for GameStop though Like they're gonna give you the deals cuz then because a lot cuz like and this is why it kind of sucks that they're changing the model to
00:22:53
Brother Devon
Yeah, I'm trading for that. I mean, I might, there's a good chance, but then again, like the, the, the trading value has to remain that to that point though. Right. Uh, and I don't know if I'm, and also like you got to fight a good scalpers. I don't know if I'm into that either.
Gaming Culture & Console Economics
00:23:20
Phantom Libtard
let's keep the PS5 vanilla the same price and then offer this this better version of it for double the price because like you said before the ps4 regular went down in price and this was their way of keeping you know keeping things like level and and and and steady because they're just releasing a mid a mid-gen refresh with better technology in it
00:23:48
Phantom Libtard
for the same price that the original one launched at and then you could get the the original one for cheaper and everybody wins and they still make all their money because you know because people like diehards like you'll be like oh yeah of course i'll i'll get this new one it's the same price like fuck it yeah it'd spend spend 150 bucks to get the new one and you know
00:23:55
Brother Devon
Yeah. Yeah.
00:24:00
Brother Devon
Yeah. Yeah, like, why not? I'll trade it in, get 300 bucks back, or whatever it is. And like, yeah.
00:24:11
Brother Devon
it's it's and And listen, as i I liked my, I really liked my PS4 Pro. Like, I felt like I personally got my money's worth, because I knew that any time I played a game on the PS4, I was playing the best possible version of that.
00:24:26
Phantom Libtard
Yeah, you knew you knew the Last of Us.
00:24:27
Brother Devon
And it was nice. It was nice.
00:24:29
Phantom Libtard
You knew the Last of Us Part II was coming out.
00:24:32
Phantom Libtard
And yeah, you knew that game was that games coming out.
00:24:34
Brother Devon
God of War 2018 I was like I'm playing the best fucking I'm playing 4k with 60 frames this Yeah, I think so yeah Yeah, yeah, and like I know there's games coming out that I
00:24:35
Phantom Libtard
And that's all yeah, the PS4 Pro came out before Last of Us Part II, right? So there were still and was still like a a game that you knew was coming out to look forward to, to play on the Pro.
00:24:54
Phantom Libtard
And that's another thing is like,
00:24:56
slimeballsteve
You played Final Fantasy VII Remake?
00:24:56
Phantom Libtard
during During this fucking.
00:24:59
Brother Devon
I replayed remake on that. Like it made it let me replay a lot of games, but like this is just like. And again, it's like not only is it is it more money than we thought, but it's like with less features like again, the describe the stand.
00:25:11
Phantom Libtard
Less features, no less features and and not only that, but like fucking they only showed like old games that have been out for a couple of years.
00:25:17
Brother Devon
That did the first game they showed the first game they showed was a PS4 game.
00:25:23
slimeballsteve
Wait, which game was it?
00:25:23
Phantom Libtard
Was the last of us to last of us.
00:25:24
Brother Devon
It was the last was yeah, last was two and it were like Okay, I get um it fucking better play at 4k like it's 60 I
00:25:32
slimeballsteve
Dude, that's the thing about them, man. like The more powerful these machines get, the less you will see like the graphical like improvements.
00:25:42
slimeballsteve
it's like you know
00:25:43
Brother Devon
Like listen like I mean definitely yeah
00:25:43
Phantom Libtard
And I don't know if I don't know if it was the rendering of the video they showed but like and like I'm not even troll I'm not even like trolling like it's hard to see any differences at all any distinguishable differences between The the screenshots and the video side-by-side video that they were showing in their own presentation.
00:25:59
Phantom Libtard
Like it wasn't really yeah and You can't tell differences there like come on man
00:26:00
Brother Devon
No, dude, the they showed the Spider-Man thing and it's like somebody freezer is like, I literally you couldn't pay me a million dollars. I can tell you what's. And like, listen, I know if it's in front of me and I'm playing 60 frames with the HDR for like I'll notice and I'll be like, this is cool. But still, still like it's an old game and And again, like the the the stand is like annoying, but like whenever you don't need a stand, you can get away without a stand.
00:26:31
Brother Devon
The the disk drive is a little offensive because because the one thing.
00:26:35
Phantom Libtard
No, you might as well get the stand. No, it's only $30, Devin.
00:26:38
Brother Devon
Yeah, I know, right.
00:26:39
Phantom Libtard
That's how
Nintendo's Market Influence
00:26:40
Phantom Libtard
that's how they they add they add them all, you know?
00:26:42
Brother Devon
But like the ah the the PlayStation 4 Pro, one of the things that did come with which I was able to take advantage of at the time was it had a no, it had like a
00:26:51
Phantom Libtard
Was the stand? Was this the vertical stand?
00:26:54
Brother Devon
I don't know the audit. It came with like an audio port that I could like plug into it directly.
00:27:00
Phantom Libtard
Like ah optical an optical audio part?
00:27:01
Brother Devon
Yeah. Yeah. It had it came with an optical audio port and I was like, Oh cool.
00:27:05
Brother Devon
And I plugged it in and nice and cool. But like, and the PS4 didn't have that, which is all right. So it came with more things. The Pro goes with less things and the disc drive is not there.
00:27:19
Brother Devon
And it's like, dude, this should be the premium fuck you edition.
00:27:22
Phantom Libtard
Yeah, it should have everything just and then and then you charge $700 for it and we can complain about it.
00:27:24
Brother Devon
Yeah. And the fact that, you know, and the fact that the disk drive is $80 sold separately also already sold out via scalpers. I'm saying scalpers.
00:27:35
Phantom Libtard
Yeah, this drives this drive is yeah, it's it's sound for like 120 to 130 bucks on eBay this drive now.
00:27:35
Brother Devon
I'm pretty sure. But yeah.
00:27:42
Brother Devon
Yeah. And, you know, I do think the the five pro is going to sell out due to scalpers and they're going to be a pain to find it.
00:27:51
Phantom Libtard
No, i feel I mean, even scalpers or not, I feel like I feel like it was going to sell and sell out anyway.
00:27:57
Brother Devon
I mean, yeah, but I just I think like, you know, I was talking about like, oh, I think I have a shot to get it.
00:28:00
Phantom Libtard
Because I think Sony's good I think so.
00:28:03
Brother Devon
Like, I don't even know if I want to try because I don't think I have a shot to even fucking get it. You know what I mean?
00:28:07
Phantom Libtard
Well, maybe not on day one, but like once this is this is the I think Sony is just like taking a page out of their own book. And I think they'll just like they won't they'll like, you know, like.
00:28:20
Phantom Libtard
they'll like half ass the production of it for the first wave. you know So it sells out and generates interest and generates you know um demand because of how successful the PS5 was the last four years with no fucking games coming out because they couldn't make enough and people just wanted to buy them anyway.
00:28:40
Phantom Libtard
you know So like I think that's what they're going to do. I'm not going to say they're going to fucking not make any. but They might like pull back on how much they send the distributors and whatnot.
00:28:47
Brother Devon
Yeah. Well, I think there was something like ah the PS4 Pro accounted for like 13 or 15 percent of like total PS4 sales, which is like still like.
00:29:01
Brother Devon
Millions, you know, like it was like five million or something like that.
00:29:07
Phantom Libtard
and And another thing is like a lot of people are saying, like even you know a lot of people are saying, oh, this is just for rich people, with the flex and stuff. and like Yeah, but like at the same time, it's like this is this is video games, you know, like we shouldn't like things for rich people to flex or those $5,000 fucking like 40, 90 like supercomputers that that people fucking overclock and and and and and just, you know, show off like that's what for for rich people like for somebody that wants to sit in their fucking family room and play fucking Astro Bot like
00:29:45
Phantom Libtard
It's not really like that's not and that's not the direction that we want video games to go in, in my opinion. Like, and that's that's kind of why I don't really like that excuse for people like, oh, yeah, just don't fucking buy it.
00:29:57
Phantom Libtard
It's not for you. Like, it should be for me.
Console Wars & Pricing Impact
00:30:00
Phantom Libtard
Like, it's fucking video games, you know, like. I shouldn't have to like, because we all thought that five hundred dollars was a little much to for the Xbox and the and the PS5 when they launched.
00:30:13
Phantom Libtard
But like,
00:30:13
Brother Devon
Yeah, because they were like underpowered, if you think about it that way.
00:30:15
Phantom Libtard
Yeah, well not even that but like also like it's you know, it was more than last generation I guess right because the ps4 Well, yeah, I mean that's yeah, but like the ps4 was 399 right and The xbox the xbox 1x was 399 too Right so like so in just
00:30:21
Brother Devon
well Well, the PS3 was 600, so I think we were like, oh, cool. Yeah.
00:30:38
slimeballsteve
That was like yeah for 500 I think I think I think Xbox one launched at 500 because it came with the Kinect
00:30:41
Brother Devon
so well well so Well, yeah, the Kinect was a guarantee.
00:30:41
MERLINCHESTNUT
I thought it was fine. I thought it was fine. Yeah.
00:30:47
Brother Devon
That was it. And that was 500.
00:30:48
Phantom Libtard
ah Yeah, here we go. Like, why couldn't they? Yeah, why couldn't they just? We wanted it backwards. We wanted that to be separate and we pay less, not the disk drive to be separate and we pay more.
00:30:57
Brother Devon
That was a yeah ps4 is four hundred
00:31:00
Phantom Libtard
No, but like, yeah, so my my whole thing is like we we already see an increase in price. Of $100 from the previous generation, like this is double now, and when this sells out, like my whole thing is like, well, what's going to stop Sony from making the PlayStation 6 at launch, like $600, $700 as well, like if people are just going to buy it anyway.
00:31:22
Brother Devon
I mean, I still I do think that, you know, the loss leader, like, I think it's still worth selling units to get it out there, especially by the time the six comes out. Like, who knows what Xbox is really going to be doing and like like they're they ah they will have to like it will be a requirement for Sony to sell boxes like Xbox can get away with with Steam sales and and the Xbox game, all that.
00:31:36
Phantom Libtard
But like, Devon, Devon, Devon. Dude, how would how would it make, how would it make any sense though?
00:31:51
Phantom Libtard
Like, think about, like, how would it make any sense for them to launch the PS5 Pro at $700 and then the PS6 to be $500? That doesn't make any sense. Like, how does that make sense to...
00:32:00
Brother Devon
because they want they need to sell copies.
00:32:01
Phantom Libtard
it They're gonna sell them anyway, Devin.
00:32:02
Brother Devon
They need to sell boxes. They don't need to sell pros.
00:32:05
Phantom Libtard
They're gonna sell them anyway.
00:32:06
Brother Devon
I don't think so, dude.
00:32:07
Phantom Libtard
They're gonna sell them anyway.
00:32:07
Brother Devon
I think a new generation, it's like ah it's like a new season. It's like, what have you done for me lately?
00:32:10
Phantom Libtard
a new A new generation means... Yeah, but the new generation means it's going to have better technology than the PS5 Pro. So why not charge more for that? Like I don't understand unless they're going to make the technology worse and the PS6 than the PS5 Pro.
00:32:23
Brother Devon
Because they they went through this they went through this with the PS3, though. like It was $600. Nobody fucking bought it. And then they were panicking. And then they cut the price within like six months.
00:32:35
Phantom Libtard
And they were fine.
00:32:37
Phantom Libtard
So why not?
00:32:37
Brother Devon
like Not really.
00:32:38
Phantom Libtard
Why not try it again like?
00:32:40
Brother Devon
they were getting they were They were lagging behind for the majority of that of that generation by by everybody.
00:32:45
Phantom Libtard
i Just don't I I can't see them.
00:32:45
slimeballsteve
what is general public what what wait what is What is the general public's opinion on the PlayStation 5 Pro?
00:32:48
Phantom Libtard
I can't see them Launching the next system to be less than a mid-gen refresh for the previous the previous I think that It
00:32:55
Brother Devon
I can for sure because they need to smell the box.
00:33:02
Phantom Libtard
depends are us so are you Sony fanboy or an Xbox fanboy Steve are you Sony fanboy or an Xbox fanboy?
00:33:03
Brother Devon
It's just too expensive. That's all they care about.
00:33:08
slimeballsteve
um'm just I'm just talking about just like the general public. like I'm trying to think from the same mindset of the...
00:33:12
Phantom Libtard
It's too much It's too much money for know that no, but they'll be this is what their selling point is ps6 $6.99, but
Memes & Console Reputation
00:33:20
Phantom Libtard
it comes with the disk drive now guys and the vertical stand I
00:33:22
Brother Devon
but I don't know if there's going to be a described by the time PSS comes out.
00:33:24
slimeballsteve
Is it is it as clowned on as the PlayStation 3?
00:33:29
slimeballsteve
Probably not, right? like It's still like head-turning. like That's a lot of money for that.
00:33:36
Phantom Libtard
Yeah, I'm not sure I mean it's it's hard to tell it's hard to tell because the the yeah the the the internet
00:33:38
slimeballsteve
it's It's definitely nowhere near Xbox One laughable state.
00:33:44
Phantom Libtard
internet wasn't as i don't want to say develop or matured
00:33:49
slimeballsteve
No, it wasn't.
00:33:49
Brother Devon
What is predominant?
00:33:49
Phantom Libtard
wasn't developed or matured as yeah
00:33:51
slimeballsteve
You right, you right.
00:33:52
Phantom Libtard
it wasn't it wasn't like that then so it's it's hard to tell um but like
00:33:57
Brother Devon
I mean, I think it's just unfortunately not to sound like a grumpy old man, but it's like it's just memes at this point. Right. So it's like the average person just dunks on the five pro with memes because it's really overpriced because it is just the straight reality of what that thing is. It's overpriced.
00:34:18
Phantom Libtard
And then it's like the other side of it being like, oh, here are all the PC Master Race guys coming out from the woodwork. And it's just memes again.
00:34:25
Brother Devon
Yeah, yeah, it's just memes.
00:34:27
Brother Devon
And it's just like, well, you can't really realistically build a PC for $700. And it's like, we know that.
00:34:34
Phantom Libtard
And this is where, this is where like and like, this is
00:34:35
Brother Devon
Like, they they they do it every time a new console comes out. You know, it doesn't work.
00:34:43
Phantom Libtard
This is where what nintendo does next is like probably going to be the most important Like decision in in video game for the future of video games, I think Because they could do the funniest thing and be like, oh ours is 699 too.
00:34:56
Phantom Libtard
Fuck you guys And people will still buy it and i'll still buy it right i'll i'll fucking eat i'll eat that shit.
00:34:57
slimeballsteve
dude ah dude that's the Dude, that's the scary thing about Nintendo.
00:35:02
Phantom Libtard
I will buy it No,
00:35:04
slimeballsteve
They have this weird like, they either have the entire gaming world on their side or everybody has turned their back and they're tired of Nintendo.
00:35:08
Phantom Libtard
but then yeah people are like
00:35:12
Phantom Libtard
yeah i like
00:35:14
slimeballsteve
It's either the Wii U or the Wii.
00:35:15
Phantom Libtard
And I think like and you know, I don't mean to I don't mean to call Waldo out or whatever but he's like, yeah Yeah, but Nintendo is just gonna do what Nintendo is gonna do and they just don't care about about what other people say and I think that's the most ridiculous thing to say like, you know, they Nintendo is aware of how much the steam deck costs and the and the rock ally X costs and and they're looking at the PlayStation 5 Pro right now and they're they're throwing that into the black box of their
00:35:16
slimeballsteve
There's no in between.
00:35:41
Phantom Libtard
of whatever their estimated you know value of what their system is, and then the then the Switch 2 is going to be.
00:35:49
Phantom Libtard
And what sucks is like now the PS5 Pro's overpriced um like you know announcement gets thrown in there.
00:36:00
Phantom Libtard
And that like you know that could increase the price of the the the Switch 2 more so than what we what it should have been. You know, just because PlayStation just like just adds all that money on top of it.
00:36:16
Brother Devon
I don't know. it's shit But it's like you could say the same thing, though. It's like when the Wii U came out and it was probably a little overpriced and no one liked it. Like they were sweating it.
00:36:27
Brother Devon
You know, they were hurting. It's not like they were going to go bankrupt because all we heard about is like their their war chest.
00:36:31
Phantom Libtard
No, no, but they but dain they didn't they didn't even know they don't even know what an ah they didn't even know what an iPad was when the Wii U came out.
00:36:38
Brother Devon
Yeah, but the point is, is they're not going to,
00:36:38
Phantom Libtard
So they didn't even know.
Gaming Market Dynamics
00:36:40
Brother Devon
they're not going to price over price because the market does show that if it's too much money, like people won't just fuck it.
00:36:45
Phantom Libtard
Yeah, but what is it?
00:36:47
Brother Devon
They just won't buy.
00:36:48
Phantom Libtard
No, but my whole question, too, is what is overpriced now? Because how much is the Steam Deck?
00:36:53
Brother Devon
$700, the PS5 Pro is overpriced. That is.
00:36:55
Phantom Libtard
Yeah, but the Steam Deck is $600, right, Steve? How much should we spend on our Steam Deck?
00:37:04
Phantom Libtard
$650, $649, I think.
00:37:04
slimeballsteve
Um Oh, but that's the that's the weird part because it does have those choices i featured Yeah, you can
00:37:09
Phantom Libtard
but that And that's what I'm saying, is like since the Steam Deck is $649, and the PS5 Pro 700, what is stopping Nintendo from then from launching the Switch?
00:37:20
Phantom Libtard
like Isn't that a fair price for the Switch 2? $5.99? It's not to me. I'll still buy it. But that seems pretty high. But at but at in terms of how things are right now with with video games, like that might be the actual estimated value of what a Switch 2 would be.
00:37:37
Phantom Libtard
$600. And that's because, you know,
00:37:39
Brother Devon
There's also there's also the library, right?
00:37:40
slimeballsteve
it's It's 649 to 296 for a Steam Deck.
00:37:45
Brother Devon
I could buy a two hundred and ninety six dollar LCD, 64 gig steam deck. But like it seems like a pretty trash.
00:37:56
Phantom Libtard
that you can't play Zelda on and Mario on.
00:37:58
Brother Devon
Yeah, I can't play any.
00:37:58
slimeballsteve
Yeah, you might be able to fit a game on there.
00:38:02
Phantom Libtard
No, then you're then you're just and you're just Paul and your friend hates you and bought himself and a steam deck OLED and bought him a lesser one just because, dude, if I had my if I had money, that's something I would totally do to browse you just to just to make sure I was a step ahead of him.
00:38:02
Brother Devon
so so Yeah.
00:38:11
Brother Devon
So yeah, oh.
00:38:17
Phantom Libtard
I mean, oh, hey, dude.
00:38:18
slimeballsteve
Does that step ahead of him?
00:38:19
Phantom Libtard
Hey, dude. Well, yo, I got you a PS5, Tom. I got myself a PS5 Pro, but I got you a PS5, dude. So, you know, you can play all the same games as I do.
00:38:29
slimeballsteve
you You got me, you got me PS5?
00:38:29
MERLINCHESTNUT
Not as well, but
00:38:30
Phantom Libtard
ah in Yeah, at the end of the day, before i'm I'm going to sleep happy, knowing that I have a better system than Tom.
00:38:36
Brother Devon
Yeah. I mean, that was me.
00:38:36
Phantom Libtard
You know, like that's the whole reason.
00:38:37
Brother Devon
That was me with the pro. I went to sleep calm every night. I was like, I got.
00:38:40
slimeballsteve
Hey, I noticed its PS5 seems ah slightly used for the past ah five years.
00:38:45
Phantom Libtard
Yo, why does this one have scuffs on it, dude?
00:38:46
Brother Devon
No, dude, it's that's the.
00:38:48
Phantom Libtard
Like, what the fuck? wise Why are there skid marks in the PS5 that you got me?
00:38:52
slimeballsteve
Skin marks?
00:38:52
Brother Devon
That might be too, dude, that was probably too.
00:38:53
Phantom Libtard
Well, how come there's there's no ceiling tape?
00:38:54
slimeballsteve
Dude, why'd you rub shit all over my PlayStation 5? What's that about?
00:38:57
Phantom Libtard
It seems like somebody opened this before.
00:38:59
Phantom Libtard
What happened?
00:39:01
Brother Devon
I ordered it off a team for you, bro.
00:39:04
Phantom Libtard
Now, but like that's I'm just saying that I'm not going to be surprised if like I would have been.
00:39:04
Brother Devon
I don't know.
00:39:11
Phantom Libtard
If we if Mark Cerny then open his fat fucking mouth this week and announce this bullshit, I would have expected Nintendo to be. What like maybe a hundred dollars more than the switch the switch one wasn't launched switch one was what 399 299 Yeah, well I would have been yeah I would have expected the the switch two to the be 399 but now I'm actually expecting it to be $500 just because that's just how That's how the world is now And then if it's too much then all you gotta say, oh, maybe it's just not for you, bro.
00:39:43
Phantom Libtard
There's a system for you
00:39:43
slimeballsteve
They might do they might do two skews of it, but that made messed it up.
00:39:45
Phantom Libtard
There's a system for you at home. It's called the Xbox 360. Remember when Xbox said that shit?
00:39:48
slimeballsteve
Oh Dude the Xbox one.
00:39:50
Phantom Libtard
No, there's just a system for you at home, bro. It's called Xbox 360. Like, that's what we're gonna fucking hear.
00:39:56
slimeballsteve
Dude, they lost an entire console war from that.
00:39:57
Phantom Libtard
Oh, no, it's just... No, this... No, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve. The
Console Feature Comparisons
00:40:00
Phantom Libtard
Switch 2 is just for rich people to flex on people. Like, that's the only reason it's out, so, you know. It's just... fine It's cool, dude. You don't have to get it. It's not for everybody, bro.
00:40:09
Phantom Libtard
Mario is not for everybody. It's only for, you know, people that really want to put the money into it, into something that they have passion for.
00:40:16
slimeballsteve
You're right.
00:40:16
Phantom Libtard
Like, that's what you got here now, you know, and that's fucking stupid.
00:40:19
slimeballsteve
It's like, I'm sorry, is this a, is this just like a hobby for you or is this like a profession, is this a lifestyle?
00:40:25
Brother Devon
Are you are you a stream? Are you a Twitch streamer? Are you just the poor person?
00:40:28
slimeballsteve
And you're like, bro, I'm just trying to play some video games.
00:40:29
Phantom Libtard
Because like granted, granted, I did not actually I've never I didn't buy the PS4 Pro. When it came out, I didn't really need to.
00:40:39
Phantom Libtard
um But you know I could go to sleep knowing that I if I really wanted one I could get one you know and Yeah,
00:40:46
slimeballsteve
They came out, they came out around the same time, the PS4 Pro and the Switch. They kind of came out within like six months of one another.
00:40:52
Brother Devon
Right, it sounds familiar.
00:40:56
Phantom Libtard
yeah, when did the ps1 did the ps4 pro come out ps4?
00:40:57
slimeballsteve
It was 2016, November, October, November.
00:40:58
Brother Devon
because the switch came out and it just it it just looked
00:41:01
Phantom Libtard
Ps4 was November 10th of 2016 Holy shit
00:41:05
slimeballsteve
Yeah, and then March 2017 was when Switch came out.
00:41:10
Phantom Libtard
You know, maybe Sony is on schedule then, because that's what, four years before Last of Us 2 came out? Was that after the first or the second announcement that they delayed the game? Hmm.
00:41:19
Brother Devon
Oh man, that hurts.
00:41:22
Phantom Libtard
November 10, 2016.
00:41:24
Phantom Libtard
No, you know what else is going to hurt when they announced that GTA 6 is delayed? It's inevitable. You know it's common.
00:41:30
MERLINCHESTNUT
oh Oh man,
00:41:33
Brother Devon
But it's still it's still gonna be...
00:41:33
Phantom Libtard
and And that's the other thing is like this is my this is this is my thought process ah you know before the PS5 Pro was even now. I was like, oh, like why would I get? like i wont I probably won't need a mid-gen refresh.
00:41:47
Phantom Libtard
I wouldn't need a Pro pro version of PS5. But GTA 6 is looking pretty fucking chunky. like That might be a good reason to upgrade you know because it's GTA 6.
00:41:59
Brother Devon
Yeah, and it's not gonna come out for PC for like five years.
00:41:59
Phantom Libtard
Those twerk jiggles. We can't have no stuttering on the torque jiggles, Chris. like we need We need optimal frame rates for the...
00:42:07
MERLINCHESTNUT
I know. Who do you think wrote that angry email, John?
00:42:11
Brother Devon
yeah Dude that thing running in 30 is gonna be a struggle for a pro need that and John we have a cause for you.
00:42:14
Phantom Libtard
That's what I'm saying, dawg. So it's like, yeah, PS5 Pro isn't for me, but like what if I need it to be for me?
00:42:26
Phantom Libtard
No, but am I wrong, though?
00:42:28
Brother Devon
It's called the ps5. All right, there's five
00:42:29
MERLINCHESTNUT
I listen, I mean me. I don't care so much About that. I mean if it's prohibitive like I can't play GTA 6 unless I have a pro well then Will suck, but I that won't yeah that won't
00:42:40
Brother Devon
Yeah, which it won't be. There's no fucking way. Yeah.
00:42:43
Phantom Libtard
No, that won't be the case, but also remember Cyberpunk 2077 launched for PS4 and Xbox One as well.
00:42:48
MERLINCHESTNUT
happen Don't bring back
00:42:51
Phantom Libtard
And remember how that happened.
00:42:52
Phantom Libtard
Remember how that how that.
00:42:52
slimeballsteve
Dude, I was lucky I had my PS5 because that was the only probably way I could play that game without it crashing.
00:42:54
Phantom Libtard
I'm just saying.
00:42:58
Phantom Libtard
Yeah, God, thank God you got to play that game when it came out, Steve, or else you.
00:43:02
slimeballsteve
the one died yeah I got to return my copy.
00:43:04
Phantom Libtard
Thank God, thank God. Thank God you were able to play that game when it came out.
00:43:09
slimeballsteve
yeah I beat it and I got to return it thanks to PlayStation.
00:43:14
Phantom Libtard
ah Yeah, like, no, but that that's the thing. though Like, they that's what they always say. Like, even the even like Nintendo
Consumer Choices & Preferences
00:43:20
Phantom Libtard
is guilty of this, too. Like, they do that shit, too, where they're like, oh, yeah, there won't be like you could play Pokemon on the new Nintendo 3DS, but you might not have the same options as, you know.
00:43:33
slimeballsteve
Every time they did that, though, I never bought into that. I didn't buy into like the new 3DS. I didn't buy into the I actually did the DSI.
00:43:40
Phantom Libtard
So I did. Why didn't like I bought one. I mean i didn't like marry the the idea or the concept of it existing, but I.
00:43:47
slimeballsteve
No, I didn't have a DSI. I had a DS light.
00:43:52
Phantom Libtard
Wait, so you never bought the new Nintendo 3DS?
00:43:54
slimeballsteve
I never bought the new one and I never bought the the ah DSI.
00:43:55
Phantom Libtard
You. Fake fan over here, guys.
00:43:59
slimeballsteve
Dude, I'm not. You know what?
00:44:00
Brother Devon
Wait, what kind of switch model do you have?
00:44:01
slimeballsteve
Here's the thing.
00:44:02
Brother Devon
Do you have the OLED switch?
00:44:03
slimeballsteve
I got the OLED.
00:44:04
Brother Devon
Oh, okay, so No, no because you were just saying like it doesn't work out you were saying it doesn't work on you, but you have the switch OLED
00:44:05
Phantom Libtard
Yeah, I was going to try and fucking slam dunk on you, Venom style.
00:44:10
Phantom Libtard
Let's get a bet. <unk> dog on you like Like, Venom.
00:44:15
Phantom Libtard
No, no, no. To be fair, Steve and I both ah like both very sincerely admitted that the Switch OLED was not really worth the upgrade at the time.
00:44:26
slimeballsteve
yeah at the end At the end of the day, I'm like, oh, there's some things on like the original model that I kind of.
00:44:30
Phantom Libtard
But at the same time, it was only $600. It was $50 more.
00:44:35
slimeballsteve
It was like this... was it just 50?
00:44:38
Phantom Libtard
It was $50 more than the launch price of the original Switch.
00:44:38
slimeballsteve
Yeah, yeah, yeah, anyway.
00:44:42
Phantom Libtard
Also, and you know and you know let me put my dev and cap on here. the all The other reason why it wasn't worth it is because they had the same fucking like technology inside besides the screen.
00:44:53
Phantom Libtard
So um that's why.
00:44:54
slimeballsteve
Yeah, I was hoping it would like run better and faster and I was like, oh no, this sucks.
00:44:56
MERLINCHESTNUT
Well, John, I gotta put on my I own Sony star cap and say, you know, I think it's gonna be damn good.
00:45:03
slimeballsteve
God damn it, Chris is an inside man.
00:45:05
MERLINCHESTNUT
yeah Sorry, that's just my opinion.
00:45:09
Phantom Libtard
Because that's the thing, like, I don't know.
00:45:12
slimeballsteve
Chris has really affected my concords.
00:45:12
Phantom Libtard
With the Steam Deck OLED, when they upgraded the Steam Deck to the OLED model, they they just marketed it as just like Nintendo Switch OLED, where, oh, yeah, it's got a new screen.
00:45:23
Phantom Libtard
But they actually updated a lot of other technology and stuff inside that they didn't even talk about.
00:45:25
slimeballsteve
They have battery and stuff.
00:45:28
Phantom Libtard
The battery, the fucking the refresh rate is 90 hertz, as opposed to 60.
00:45:34
Phantom Libtard
And um like the Wi-Fi antennas are were up to date, too. That was the one thing I was hoping they would update on the switch but the new with the new one, because they they're rocking Wi-Fi 3 or some bullshit like from 2015. So like you really don't get good you know internet speeds on that on that bad boy. But I don't know, man. I'm just like i'm just upset, because like this is the future now. like Everything's just going to be
00:46:06
Phantom Libtard
like Super highly priced now I think Yeah, and I don't want to be told it's not for me like it is for me like it is You know like this is this is like my hobby like it is for me like I shouldn't be asked to like You know pay more for what then what I should for so for something that I believe is you know is something that's for me.
00:46:08
MERLINCHESTNUT
Oh yeah. You're absolutely right, John. Especially ah like electronics, technology, I think it's all good.
00:46:35
Phantom Libtard
You know I
00:46:35
slimeballsteve
What's the price point that like would make you turn your head and be like, okay, I could, I could, I
Nostalgia in Gaming
00:46:40
slimeballsteve
could swing that.
00:46:41
Phantom Libtard
I thought it was going to be, I don't know, 500 bucks, 550 bucks, 50 bucks more.
00:46:48
Brother Devon
I thought I said six.
00:46:48
Phantom Libtard
Yeah, maybe 550. I mean.
00:46:50
Brother Devon
I think I said six and I was like, if the psychos six 50, I was like, if we're completely fucking insane, it'd be six.
00:46:53
slimeballsteve
Six max, six max.
00:46:55
Phantom Libtard
Yeah, 600.
00:46:56
MERLINCHESTNUT
SA6 is a good max.
00:46:59
Phantom Libtard
600, yeah, 600 with a with a fucking disk drive, at least maybe sell the stand separately if you want to be a piece of shit.
00:46:59
MERLINCHESTNUT
That's the deal.
00:47:07
slimeballsteve
they They rate the price of the PlayStation 2 or five as well, didn't they?
00:47:12
Brother Devon
ah They the PS5 is raised pretty much everywhere, but America.
00:47:12
Phantom Libtard
No, it's just the same. It's five slim.
00:47:17
Brother Devon
Yeah, yeah, like it's like 20 to 50 dollars higher in like a lot of other countries.
00:47:22
MERLINCHESTNUT
Jesus Christ.
00:47:25
Brother Devon
Not here because that because they honestly because they fucking know better like I'd say it like. You know, I think US is the biggest market for the PlayStation right now and.
00:47:38
Phantom Libtard
Yeah, Michael, dude, devin my whole thing is like if Tony's.
00:47:39
Brother Devon
You know, and then they did the controller chip, you know,
00:47:42
Phantom Libtard
If Sony is really afraid of of Call of Duty being on Xbox, then this isn't the way to go about it.
00:47:45
Brother Devon
I don't think.
00:47:49
Brother Devon
I don't think it's it has anything to do with that, to be honest. I think it's just like.
00:47:54
Phantom Libtard
They're just like, well, let's see what we can get away with and then.
00:47:55
Brother Devon
I mean, yeah, because because again, it's like these companies, they hire people to say this is what you can get away with, like market research shows, blah, blah, blah, blah.
00:48:06
Brother Devon
Whoever said 700 is a fucking asshole. And frankly, I think wrong, like. i I don't think, I think this will initially sell out first wave because like, dude, the fucking PSVR2 sold out first wave, right?
00:48:20
Brother Devon
But it's like, yeah,
00:48:22
Phantom Libtard
And the the portal PlayStation portal was sold out for a while and people and all the story on the study bodies were like, see, it is good.
00:48:26
Brother Devon
yeah. And that thing is, it is, dude, I started getting, the FOMO was hitting me.
00:48:31
Phantom Libtard
I was like, no, that's not.
00:48:33
Brother Devon
I was like, should I get one?
00:48:35
Phantom Libtard
No, dude.
00:48:36
Brother Devon
Is this sick? And then I bought a backbone and I've used it once.
00:48:40
slimeballsteve
I bought a backbone too. I've only used it a handful of times.
00:48:42
Phantom Libtard
You don't even need the backbone, Steve, you can you can PlayStation portal on your steam deck if you want to.

00:50:15
MERLINCHESTNUT
Fuck that, dude. I'm going right to Odd World.
00:50:18
Brother Devon
That's a Tonka or Tonk.
00:50:18
MERLINCHESTNUT
That's on my mind nonstop.
00:50:20
slimeballsteve
Look, look, look, look, look, look. This is all hypothetical because I do not have any of these games on my phone.
00:50:25
Brother Devon

slimeballsteve
These are just things that I could do.
00:50:28
Brother Devon
You physically, and then you got backups.
00:50:30
slimeballsteve
These are things that I could do. Look, the only game I play on my phone is Balatro, which is coming soon.

MERLINCHESTNUT
Oh, really?
00:50:38
Phantom Libtard
oh God yes, I'm in the mobile soon actually what in like eight days.

slimeballsteve
Yeah, yeah.
00:50:44
MERLINCHESTNUT
Awesome. Great news. Great news.
00:50:48
Phantom Libtard
You don't even need a PS5 Pro. You got a phone.
00:50:50
MERLINCHESTNUT
Great news.
00:50:50
Phantom Libtard
They're good ah You got something that
00:50:52
MERLINCHESTNUT
I'm good. Man, you got a phone, right? You guys got phones, right?
00:50:55
slimeballsteve
You guys got phones. Hey, guess what's coming back to phones?
00:50:59
MERLINCHESTNUT
ah Calling people.
00:51:00
slimeballsteve
flappy bird.
00:51:02
slimeballsteve
But here's the asterisk next to flappy bird. ah Pretty much what happened was the trademark ah from the original owner ran out because you know he kind of just like peaced out.
00:51:10
Phantom Libtard
Oh, because he like killed himself or whatever.
00:51:11
slimeballsteve
He was like he was like he was like this is awful I hate this. um And he just like didn't touch it and so some Vulture of a company some some crypto nightmare vulture company come Corpo bastards.
00:51:23
Phantom Libtard
Some Corpo, some Arasaka.
00:51:26
slimeballsteve
Yes They waited for the trademark to run out swooped up bought it up and now they are making ah Flappy bird like fluffy birds back and they did a whole trailer for it. Everybody was like, oh But uh, it is apparently just it is rife with crypto and just just nightmare shit
00:51:44
Brother Devon
um But what does that even mean like it has a lot of crypto in it like Like if I play that game Okay, so that is like that's honestly what it would be Back to formula they said
00:51:47
slimeballsteve
It's gonna be, you know what, it's gonna be running your phone and your phone's gonna get way too hot and it's gonna be just using your phone to fucking get crypto bucks for their company.
00:51:57
MERLINCHESTNUT
I think now, don't correct me if I'm wrong, Steve, but Oscorp is the one that owns this game, right?
00:52:01
slimeballsteve
Yes, it's ah it's Norman Osborn's attempted flappy bird.
00:52:04
MERLINCHESTNUT
Yeah. That's what I thought. Yeah. It's going to go over real well.
00:52:09
slimeballsteve
It's just, it sucks, it sucks when it's like,
00:52:11
MERLINCHESTNUT
Don't turn this to me, flappy bird.
00:52:13
slimeballsteve
You find out games that are like, oh, hey, I remember cooking mama and it's like, don't buy that new one. It's a, it's a crypto scam.
00:52:18
MERLINCHESTNUT
It's a trap!
00:52:19
slimeballsteve
And you're like, what?
00:52:20
Brother Devon
yeah yeah you're like i is what the play I just wanted to play Poltergeist or Poltergeist.
00:52:21
MERLINCHESTNUT
Cookie Robert doesn't love you!
00:52:24
slimeballsteve
She's making you cook fucking cryptos and everything.
00:52:29
slimeballsteve
Oh, you want to play polter guy?
00:52:30
Brother Devon
That guy's haunting crypto coins for you.
00:52:31
slimeballsteve
Sorry, bucko.
00:52:34
slimeballsteve
That guy's turning your machine into a crypto, just casket.
00:52:39
Brother Devon
Jesus. Yeah, that sucks, dude. That stinks. Don't like that.
00:52:42
slimeballsteve
It's nonsense. It's nonsense.
00:52:43
Brother Devon
Don't like it.
00:52:43
slimeballsteve
Get rid of this. Get rid of this. Make this illegal.
00:52:46
Brother Devon
Good gravy, dude.
00:52:46
MERLINCHESTNUT
Hey guys, speaking of things that stink, I watched Civil War over the week.
00:52:55
Brother Devon
Yeah. Yeah. What? Yeah. What you think?
00:52:58
MERLINCHESTNUT
i Well, Devon, I'll be honest with you, man, I did not like it. um I think there's one really, really great scene in the whole movie, and they obviously knew it.
00:53:12
MERLINCHESTNUT
It was with Mr. Fat Damon himself, Jesse Plemons,
00:53:16
Phantom Libtard
Hell yeah, hell yeah.
00:53:18
MERLINCHESTNUT
And it's great.
00:53:19
Phantom Libtard
Hell yeah, brother.
00:53:20
MERLINCHESTNUT
It's a wonderful scene. um It makes the most sense within the movie, makes me feel something.
00:53:26
MERLINCHESTNUT
And then the rest of the movie is bland and kind of uninspired.
00:53:31
Phantom Libtard
So it's just Fat Todd that you liked. That's it.
00:53:33
MERLINCHESTNUT
Really? That's about it, man.
00:53:34
Brother Devon
What did you think of the not Kirsten Dunst's character, but the the other guy?
00:53:36
Phantom Libtard
it like Just like Breaking Bad.
00:53:38
Phantom Libtard
You only like Fat Todd.
00:53:40
MERLINCHESTNUT
Oh, he was terrible. God damn.
00:53:42
Brother Devon
Isn't he really annoying?
00:53:43
MERLINCHESTNUT
you I was like, how has he been shot already?
00:53:47
Brother Devon
I was like, this guy sucks, dude.
00:53:50
MERLINCHESTNUT
And he's like, he seems so oblivious to to everything that's going on.
00:53:55
MERLINCHESTNUT
um And it's just frustrating.
00:53:56
Brother Devon
Like he, I don't know, he really seemed like the, I don't, maybe it was the actor just the way he's written, but he's like, I just want to be the standout cool character of this whole movie.
00:54:05
MERLINCHESTNUT
I guess maybe that's like, he's kind of, he's kind of aloof and maybe desensitized, but I haven't seen that.
00:54:06
Brother Devon
And it's like, you're not.
00:54:11
MERLINCHESTNUT
I just saw oblivious, you know, like,
00:54:14
MERLINCHESTNUT
I don't know what the hell's going on and I'm just kind of nonchalantly handling it.
00:54:19
MERLINCHESTNUT
And then there's this really serious scene and there's this just a silent scene of him screaming while holding a ah bottle of whiskey.
00:54:26
Brother Devon
Yeah. Well, I mean, that's that's what I mean. I was like, this is so like overdone.
00:54:31
MERLINCHESTNUT
Yeah, it sure is.
00:54:32
Brother Devon
And I was like, and again, maybe I'm like, maybe this is the character, but I was like, they thought this is like supposed to hit. Like, I don't know. Yeah.
00:54:40
MERLINCHESTNUT
I think in an effort to not offend or piss any particular group off, it kind of came off as like substance.
00:54:47
MERLINCHESTNUT
Like it was just bland. And like, I didn't connect to any of the characters. Like I, it's weird. It was a weird f flick and it kind of, I don't want to say Alex Garland shouldn't make movies anymore.
00:54:59
MERLINCHESTNUT
Cause I like, like, I get maybe this movie did that to him.
00:55:00
Brother Devon
But he said that he's like, I don't want to make movies anymore.
00:55:05
MERLINCHESTNUT
Cause it just seems so uninspired. Like that's the way the term I would use.
00:55:09
Brother Devon
Yeah, it's yeah, it's like I just it's really not good, unfortunately. It's not like horrible. It's not like borderlands bad.
00:55:17
MERLINCHESTNUT
And it's just like bleh.
00:55:18
Brother Devon
But yeah, it's just not.
00:55:21
MERLINCHESTNUT
And I think that, if like, it's a waste of time. And I think that's why I didn't like it.
00:55:27
MERLINCHESTNUT
Like, I think it's a kill. Because it felt like I could have been doing anything else, and I would have been enjoying it.
00:55:34
Brother Devon
You know, it wasn't a waste of time. Fucking finish Fargo season five.
00:55:38
MERLINCHESTNUT
Yeah, that's a hell of a show.

00:57:20
MERLINCHESTNUT
Season five is phenomenal.
00:57:21
Phantom Libtard
Oh, yeah, season five. Yeah, season five is it's top two.
00:57:23
MERLINCHESTNUT
And season five probably has the best last episode as well.
00:57:27
Phantom Libtard
They have the best. Yeah, they got the best.
00:57:29
Phantom Libtard
They got the best characters. They got the best because fucking because Dot Dot is like. She might. Yeah, she's like one.
00:57:37
MERLINCHESTNUT
I like Doc, I admit.
00:57:38
Phantom Libtard
She's like, yeah, as like the main as the main protagonist, she's probably the best main protagonist, I think, of all the seasons.
00:57:45
MERLINCHESTNUT
She's the epitome of like fake it till you make it.
00:57:48
MERLINCHESTNUT
Like just fake being normal and everything will go away like that.
00:57:53
Brother Devon
Yeah, I mean, there were some things like I didn't like, you know, I kind of was like, bro, she should her husband should divorce her after this.
00:57:54
MERLINCHESTNUT
That whole thing.
00:57:59
Phantom Libtard
Oh my God, here here we go.
00:58:02
MERLINCHESTNUT
Oh no, but he's oblivious.
00:58:02
Phantom Libtard
Oh yeah yeah yeah.
00:58:04
MERLINCHESTNUT
He's the dumbest person in the.
00:58:05
Brother Devon
I know. But it's just like the way she was treating him was like almost like, yo, you're a piece of shit, too. But to kind of just sidestep it a little bit.
00:58:14
MERLINCHESTNUT
Well, that's why he, that's why she married him because he's like oblivious.
00:58:19
Brother Devon
And then, yeah, then, you know, you have the worst cop I've fucking seen in a very long time.
00:58:25
MERLINCHESTNUT
I think that's really, that's.
00:58:26
Phantom Libtard
Since since Fargo season one, I guess, with Colin.
00:58:28
MERLINCHESTNUT
Yeah, there's.
00:58:29
Brother Devon
Because even though they're like, they're they're funny.
00:58:30
Phantom Libtard
Colin Hanks. No, Colin Hanks was a bat. No, he's no. Colin Hanks was a bad cop. Like he was actually like a bad cop.
00:58:35
MERLINCHESTNUT
Yeah, he even said he was a bad cop.
00:58:37
Phantom Libtard
Like that was the whole point was that he should not be a cop because he's bad at his job.
00:58:40
Brother Devon
Yeah, yeah.
00:58:40
MERLINCHESTNUT
He said, I'd rather be a mailman. I, it's like, I'd rather just.
00:58:42
Brother Devon
Yeah, yeah, better mailman than a cop.
00:58:44
Brother Devon
This guy, but he existed to be embarrassed.
00:58:47
Phantom Libtard
Just a bat, just a stupid person just to be a stupid person.
00:58:50
Brother Devon
He, he, every scene he's in, he's fucking...
00:58:52
MERLINCHESTNUT
See, I look at it this way. I look at it as a normal person dealing with insanity. Like literally one character is a sin eater that's hundreds of years old.
00:59:04
MERLINCHESTNUT
Another is a insane fascist sheriff that has taken over like ah an entire town. And the other is like a hit woman that can survive anything.
00:59:16
MERLINCHESTNUT
Like he's just so outmatched completely.
00:59:19
Brother Devon
But it's like.
00:59:19
Phantom Libtard
Wow season ah season four was still in 84% on Rotten Tomatoes here.
00:59:24
Brother Devon
Yeah, it's too high.
00:59:24
MERLINCHESTNUT
I don't ask.
00:59:24
Phantom Libtard
Let you guys can get you guys can guess the um All right, what do you what do you think season five was what do you think season five was Devin?
00:59:26
Brother Devon
You know, you know, that's how old I turned waiting for something to happen in that season. Season five.
00:59:35
Phantom Libtard
Yeah on Rotten Tomatoes It
00:59:40
Brother Devon
It's definitely 90s, but I bet you there's like one episode that people don't like. Let's say 95, 95, 93.
00:59:46
Phantom Libtard
was 90 93
00:59:49
Phantom Libtard
season three ninety three season one ninety seven season two a hundo because i can't see anybody not dude you're crazy dude season two was so good are you kidding me you're crazy dude you're crazy
00:59:52
Brother Devon
Okay. Okay.
01:00:03
Brother Devon
Those people, people just look past stupid. let I really love, I love season two, but like, there's big, there's chunks in that, that
01:00:09
MERLINCHESTNUT
your This might be my favorite character in any of the Fargo seasons. She is so fucking good.
01:00:17
Phantom Libtard
yeah o peggy
01:00:19
MERLINCHESTNUT
Oh, Peggy is amazing.
01:00:22
MERLINCHESTNUT
Oh my God. Like everything about her and like, oh it's kind of the, I think it's the funniest too. That's the other thing. Like I think it's hilarious.
01:00:30
Brother Devon
Yeah, but like like Peggy and Dottie are like very close in the sense of like they're terrible people, though, still kind of.
01:00:39
Phantom Libtard
Dot and I don't think that's a bad person.
01:00:41
MERLINCHESTNUT
I don't think Dotty's terrible.
01:00:42
Brother Devon
No, but she's she's bad to her husband, basically.
01:00:44
Phantom Libtard
I like taking advantage of her husband.
01:00:46
Brother Devon
Yeah, and like and Peggy definitely takes advantage of that.
01:00:46
Phantom Libtard
Yeah, I could see that ah very similar there.
01:00:50
MERLINCHESTNUT
Well, Peggy, Peggy is not as capable. Like she's insane.
01:00:53
Brother Devon
Oh, yeah, no, she will. Yeah, she's it's like her fault, everything almost.
01:00:54
MERLINCHESTNUT
She's delusional.
01:00:58
MERLINCHESTNUT
And I i think, what is his name? ah Her husband, Ed.
01:01:05
MERLINCHESTNUT
Ed is just, I feel so bad for him.
01:01:07
Brother Devon
That's what I mean. It's like, yeah.
01:01:09
MERLINCHESTNUT
but I think that's, that's totally and intentional. You know, like it works really well.
01:01:13
Phantom Libtard
Fucking Mike Milligan.
01:01:16
MERLINCHESTNUT
Mike Milligan. Oh, fucking Mike Milligan, man.
01:01:18
Phantom Libtard
Yeah, come on, David.
01:01:19
MERLINCHESTNUT
Woo. Snickersnack, man.
01:01:20
Phantom Libtard
Yeah, why? hate Yeah, why? Why? Why you hate Mike Milligan so much, David?
01:01:23
MERLINCHESTNUT
The Jabberwocky poem. Oh my God. The fucking Mortician?
01:01:30
MERLINCHESTNUT
Where's that eggplanting shit?
01:01:31
Phantom Libtard
Yeah, dude, that was like so good.
01:01:33
MERLINCHESTNUT
That's the funniest part of it.
01:01:35
Phantom Libtard
That was so good. I was dying, dude.
01:01:37
MERLINCHESTNUT
Holy shit.
01:01:39
Phantom Libtard
Really built that shit up.
01:01:39
MERLINCHESTNUT
ah Well, anyway, really this show is this show is special.
01:01:41
Phantom Libtard
Anyway, anyway.
01:01:43
MERLINCHESTNUT
Uh, it's quite I think so.
01:01:44
Phantom Libtard
Are they doing ah another season?
01:01:46
Brother Devon
Yeah, I think so.
01:01:48
MERLINCHESTNUT
I think so.
01:01:48
Brother Devon
I think when he just fucking feels like it.
01:01:49
Phantom Libtard
Man, I it's going to be tough. It's going to be tough to to to follow up season five, though.
01:01:53
MERLINCHESTNUT
I agree. I think that that's probably the best one.
01:01:55
Phantom Libtard
Like that's because that like that hit all the way because we'd watch the movie like kind of right before we started watching the seasons like that hit all the the
Fargo's Emmy Hopes
01:02:03
Phantom Libtard
the movie. The movie beats to like it hit those spots from the movie as well.
01:02:05
MERLINCHESTNUT
Yes, it does.
01:02:08
MERLINCHESTNUT
It felt like a continuation of the movie where a lot of the others felt like just kind of like the same tone and, uh, some of the same characters.
01:02:09
Phantom Libtard
So the season a one, though. Right.
01:02:17
MERLINCHESTNUT
Like it felt real. Um, really in that world of Fargo, the film. Yeah. Um, great show. Can't, and I hope it wins with shitload. I am. He said it's nominated for.
01:02:26
Brother Devon
It should. The Emmys are happening as we speak.

01:03:08

Yes, as corporate negotiator, Sam Nelson tries to use his professional skills to save everyone on board.
01:03:28
Phantom Libtard
Yeah, I I want this.
01:03:28
MERLINCHESTNUT
I've seen that movie with Liam Beasley.
01:03:31
Phantom Libtard
Yeah, but it's with Idris Elba, so.
01:03:33
MERLINCHESTNUT
I know, I know.
01:03:34
Brother Devon
He lost to Shogun.
01:03:37
Phantom Libtard
He's Elvis man.
01:03:39
MERLINCHESTNUT
Shogun's clean up. and and desire It's a good show.
01:03:42
Brother Devon
I should watch.
01:03:42
Phantom Libtard
Why couldn't they put his album in Shogun? He couldn't put him in that.
01:03:48
Brother Devon
Oh, oh, lead actor here.
01:03:49
Phantom Libtard
Oh, because all the all the.
01:03:51
Brother Devon

01:03:55
Phantom Libtard
Ha Jack, yeah, I gotta watch this. What is this on on Apple TV?
01:03:57
Brother Devon
OK, anyway, we're just going to start looking at any stuff.
01:03:57
MERLINCHESTNUT
Are you looking at the winners now?
01:04:00
Phantom Libtard
It's on Apple TV.
01:04:00
Brother Devon
Well, while the Emmys are currently happening, I just want to state one other thing. I beat space wearing to.
01:04:09
Phantom Libtard
Yay, finally, good job.
01:04:10
MERLINCHESTNUT
Easy mode.
01:04:11
Brother Devon
And who notes love that thing.
01:04:12
MERLINCHESTNUT
Easy mode.
01:04:15
Phantom Libtard
Is that up for your game of the year, Devin? Is that did you like it better than Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth?
01:04:18
Brother Devon
Oh, that's tough, man. That's tough. It's in my conversation for sure, because like I was having this I was trying to mansplain essentially. Let's like let's be honest. I'm trying to mansplain to Jenny like. Because she's like, oh, were you playing the the single player? And I was like, no, I was playing online. She's like, I thought you were playing the online when you were playing single player. I was like,
01:04:41
Brother Devon
No, because this has no, but but I was telling her, I was like, no, because this has all of it.
01:04:41
Phantom Libtard
And you're like, just leave me alone.
01:04:45
Brother Devon
And I was like, back in the day, like a game with a little history, I was back in the day, like some games did this and then every game did this and like the 360 era. And then it was a huge waste of fucking time.
01:04:58
Brother Devon
And now, like so few games do this now that when a game like Space Marine 2 comes out, it's like on the it's like a borderline nostalgia play. So I remember when games came fully loaded with things.
01:05:11
Brother Devon
like a PVP mode, a co-op mode, and a fucking story mode.
01:05:15
Phantom Libtard
oh Yeah now you gotta get warzone you got this you gotta got that land
01:05:15
slimeballsteve
It's chock full of game.
01:05:16
Brother Devon
And they're all solid.
01:05:20
Brother Devon
I'm ignoring that, I'm ignoring all that.
01:05:22
slimeballsteve
it's It's fun, though, because it's like yeah we beat the game, but I still feel like I still have a ton to do, like, leftover with it.
01:05:29
slimeballsteve
um I think that campaign is kind of great. like it definitely like it It's one of those games where it's like you're in there with your squad and it makes you kind of like, you're like, oh, you're being a dick.
01:05:33
Brother Devon
It's a lot of fun.
01:05:43
slimeballsteve
And you're like, oh, I see why you're a dick.
01:05:46
slimeballsteve
It's one of those games.
01:05:46
Brother Devon
Well also, so so what's cool too is like, because Steve, I know you didn't really do this, but so there's operations which are the co-op modes, right?
01:05:55
slimeballsteve
The operations are cool. The ones that I've played like when you take down the Hive Tyrant in the PvE mode and then you you hear the call from the other side in the campaign.
01:05:59
Brother Devon
Yeah. Yeah.
01:06:05
Brother Devon
Yeah, because in the single player mode, basically, it's like, oh, while you're doing this, we're going to set two other squads to do that stuff. And that's where you could kind of like take a break from the main story and play the single player and do these other side missions.
01:06:18
Brother Devon
And yeah, like Steve was saying, like in those in the the game, you'll just hear them on the other side and you're like, I killed the hive time. They're like, no, you didn't. And I'm like, I remember having this conversation when I played at the main level and
01:06:31
slimeballsteve
Yeah, you sure it gives those characters names too, which is like kind of fun.
01:06:34
Brother Devon
Yeah, and they're they're like, and again, those operations are they're pretty chunky, you know, like they're.
01:06:39
slimeballsteve
They are beefy. some of those Some of those missions felt bigger than the actual like campaign missions.
01:06:44
Brother Devon
Yeah, and. So there's that and then there's the the the base straight up like ah PvP, which is like. Annihilation, which is, I think, free for all.
01:06:54
slimeballsteve
Have you played that?
01:06:57
Brother Devon
And then there's, you know, take your. stand and hold. what There's a better word for it. What what am I taking hold? And then there's like another one.
01:07:07
Phantom Libtard
Horde mode.
01:07:09
Brother Devon
No, there's no word. Well, yeah, there's no real hoard mode. The closest is the operations mode. But even then, there's like specific examples. I did play I played a game with Ray last night, which is a lot of fun or the other night, I should say.
01:07:26
Brother Devon
But um I will say there's a little bit of some connect connectivity issues. It's that great. They're aware of it ah it.
01:07:37
slimeballsteve
It has cross play it's he doing the epic cross play
01:07:39
Brother Devon
Yeah, it has cross play, but like there's something called like a it's not the lobby glitch, but it's like you you'll just like be in
01:07:48
Phantom Libtard
There's a glitch.
01:07:50
Brother Devon
I don't know. Well, they call it a collection. I don't know exactly what what's happening, but it's basically like you'll just be like, John, i imagine you're just staring at your destiny ship and you just are waiting for the level to load and it just never loads.
01:07:54
Phantom Libtard
che Cheating, cheating, cheating.
01:08:03
Brother Devon
And then the other people are like, yeah, but it's a map.
01:08:03
Phantom Libtard
That happened all time, that's the. Not a restart, you gotta restart, you gotta restart your whole game.
01:08:06
Brother Devon
But you know how, like, yeah, but Destiny was a little bit quicker with everything. Space Marine 2 is not that quick. It's like your deuce, then you're loading it and then it's doing this and that it's.
01:08:18
Brother Devon
I felt bad because like Ray's like, I'll jump on and then like fucking 10 minutes of this. And then I was like, oh, I don't think it's loading. So I like had to restart everything. And I was like, I felt bad because he's doing me a solid and now.
01:08:31
Brother Devon
Like he's waiting an extra 30 minutes. He's like where I just know he clearly just wants to go to bed.
01:08:37
slimeballsteve
He's like, don't worry there, Dev, and I'll carry it.
01:08:38
Brother Devon
I was like, no, dude, we got this high tire with as with friends.
01:08:40
slimeballsteve
I'll carry you, brother. I've got myself a level 100 salamander.
01:08:43
Phantom Libtard
Got you, brother.
01:08:44
Brother Devon
Yeah, I got your brother.
01:08:44
Phantom Libtard
For the Emperor, brother.
01:08:47
Brother Devon
What if, yeah, all you gotta do is add twang. But um no, there's cool hints at to what's to come. ah Steve, the floor's open if you have any lower questions because I know from as somebody who knows all the stuff they were throwing at you, like I'm playing the game and I was like, this must be so confusing for someone if they're like, who's this guy?
01:09:11
Brother Devon
What's his deal? What's a Gulliman? What's a this? What's a that?
01:09:15
slimeballsteve
No, I got it all.
01:09:16
Brother Devon
So, all right, all right.
01:09:17
MERLINCHESTNUT
That wasn't it.
01:09:18
Brother Devon
Yeah, Steve.
01:09:18
slimeballsteve
Untrue. Not true at all.
01:09:20
Brother Devon
Yeah, I was like, Steve, you just understood all of it, huh?
01:09:21
MERLINCHESTNUT
It didn't happen.
01:09:22
slimeballsteve
um I think that's the thing. I think like you know there are points where it's like there's things that I remember from the first game, but also I think just the, the general like consensus of this game is it did kind of what the first space Marine did where it's like, yeah, I'm into this.
01:09:39
slimeballsteve
I dig this. This is cool. This, this is, this is neat getting to see this kind of in motion. Uh, when the chaos chaos, when the chaos, when the chaos Marine start showing up, uh, that's when I was like, Oh, now we're, now we're kicking ass and we're, we're putting, putting our fucking pedal to the metal.
01:09:48
MERLINCHESTNUT
GAYYARGERS!
01:09:58
Brother Devon
So, so Steve, let me, let me ask you this, and I will just state like one of my personal favorite things is like the detail, like the attention to detail is like fucking spot on.
01:10:09
Brother Devon
So like, did you notice Steve, that when you were fighting the rubric Marines, the thousand something that, you know, you pull their helmets off and all that, there's just, there's nothing inside their hollow armor shells, right?
01:10:22
Phantom Libtard
Here we go Chris.
01:10:23
Brother Devon
But when you kill a sorcerer, blood and guts.
01:10:28
slimeballsteve
You know what?
01:10:28
Brother Devon
blood guts you didn't notice that but it's there and you're like oh yeah blood there's there's hollow shells all is dust but sorcerers you know they're they're real people because of the amaranth
01:10:28
slimeballsteve
I i didn't notice that and until you mentioned this now. Wait, what about the terminators? The terminators, too?
01:10:36
slimeballsteve
ah sort though you know Those sorcerers were pretty, pretty but big mode.
01:10:43
slimeballsteve
I forgot the name of that guy who was like floating around like an asshole on his surfboard.
01:10:47
Brother Devon
yeah amaranth whatever yeah I'm a piece of shit
01:10:48
slimeballsteve
Yeah, dude, he was bad at surfing around all the levels. Being like, I'm a son of a bitch. And you're like, yeah, you are. Yeah, better kill me later.
01:10:57
Brother Devon
Also, like. I mean, I don't really think it's a spoiler, but like the fucking last stand section is when you have the fucking flag and it just turns.
01:11:07
Brother Devon
So like if you've ever googled like a Warhammer 40K like box art, you just see like all the Marines on a hill with a flag and they're just shooting shit like they literally recreate that in the game.
01:11:13
slimeballsteve
Oh yeah. It's, yeah, it's literally Titus clinging onto a banner, just shooting a heavy pistol into thousands and thousands of of chaos Marines. And you feel badass.
01:11:33
slimeballsteve
There's people around you screaming like, my legs, my legs.
01:11:33
Brother Devon
and And you're just fucking shooting shit.
01:11:35
MERLINCHESTNUT
So that sucks.
01:11:37
slimeballsteve
And you're just like, yeah, whatever. This is sick.
01:11:40
Brother Devon
And you're like, stand firm. And you're like, this fucking rules.
01:11:44
slimeballsteve
This, I mean, it feels like the game should have a build in a Dragula playing moment right
Significance of Weapons in Space Marine 2
01:11:50
Brother Devon
Yeah, it's a it's it's all.
01:11:51
slimeballsteve
It's sick. It's wild.
01:11:53
Brother Devon
Yeah. And again, like a little short, a little sweet. um I definitely walked away going like, oh, my God, I wish. There was a lot more and and I'm excited for when they kind of tighten up some of the connection stuff because that's kind of honestly the only stuff really holding it back.
01:12:04
slimeballsteve
yeah Yeah.
01:12:07
Phantom Libtard
Do the do the weapons have like like intense like lore? Like descriptions and stuff that you can read through or?
01:12:13
Brother Devon
Not like Bloodborne. No, not really. It's just like this is a chainsword. Bitch, you know what it does.
01:12:19
Phantom Libtard
Shame, shame.
01:12:20
slimeballsteve
it is there's There's a variety though. So it's like, you definitely start locking in your favorites where you'll be like, okay, du what am I more of a, nah.
01:12:25
Phantom Libtard
While they're like, are there different rar rarities for drops and stuff like are there like legendary versions of chainswords?
01:12:31
Brother Devon
No, there's no, like, drops. that's a thing This is like a...
01:12:34
slimeballsteve
i well Well, that's the thing the cosmetics the cosmetics have legendaries so like If you if you want to swing like a basic-ass chainsword you can but if you want to if you want to sing McCrag's chainsword Co
01:12:34
Brother Devon
This is like a...
01:12:38
Brother Devon
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, there's cosmetics.
01:12:40
Phantom Libtard
But they're just cosmetics.
01:12:41
Phantom Libtard
They don't.
01:12:44
Brother Devon
Well, actually...
01:12:48
Brother Devon
I mean, to be fair, though...
01:12:48
Phantom Libtard
So it's like a Halo, Kevin. It's just like Halo.
01:12:51
Brother Devon
So, well, here's the thing. Like, single player?
01:12:52
Phantom Libtard
It's the set number of photos.
01:12:54
Brother Devon
Single player? there Yeah, there's it's kind of closer to Halo in that sense. But in multiplayer,
01:13:00
Brother Devon
Co-op like you can get an improved chainsword and it can have comes with extra stats and shit Yeah,
01:13:05
slimeballsteve
i I do dig as you play through the PvE, how like you level up and you get like, you're kind of getting promoted through the drops it gives you.
01:13:17
slimeballsteve
Where it'll be like, hey, you leveled up, congratulations.
01:13:18
Brother Devon
but it it is like
01:13:19
slimeballsteve
You now get to wear like the little like things on your helmet.
01:13:22
Brother Devon
It's crying as fuck though. It's like, because like, if you upgrade your chainsword, for example, in PV, like co-op mode, essentially, that doesn't mean like, even visually, that doesn't mean that stuff, as far as I understand it, doesn't cross over the PVP mode, which is like, ah so I just, you just got to do everything twice.
01:13:24
slimeballsteve
It is grinding.
01:13:45
Brother Devon
And for each weapon,
01:13:45
slimeballsteve
It's like its own thing. It's its own thing, which is kind of interesting.
01:13:50
Brother Devon
No, it's it's annoying. It's I don't know if it's ah it's just like a little frustrating.
01:13:52
slimeballsteve
I don't, I don't know. I don't know why. Yeah. I don't kind of understand that. Like you should probably keep those cosmetics. It's just.
01:13:59
Brother Devon
But again, like, yeah, it's ah so some of that stuff also. You know, again, you can get armor pieces and greaves, shoulders, icons and stuff like that.
01:14:09
Brother Devon
So I already build out my guys, but it was salty because I did all this and in in co-op and then I realized I had to do it all over again and fucking PvP mode.
01:14:19
Brother Devon
I was like, are you considering?
01:14:20
Phantom Libtard
Yeah, that sucks.
Space Marine 2 Campaign Impressions
01:14:22
Phantom Libtard
You gotta grind that like that.
01:14:22
Brother Devon
Well, it takes a few minutes, you know, but it's like why couldn't there have just been like a click over like, oh, do you just want to use like the color schemes and the armor that you already select?
01:14:33
Brother Devon
And it's like, yeah, why can't I do that?
01:14:36
Brother Devon
That's a good fucking question. But now this game rules. I love it. I love that. Basically, it's very universally light and
01:14:48
Brother Devon
ah some There's some budget. A little bit. There's like a little bit of budget. You can just see.
01:14:53
slimeballsteve
It's like a B title, I would say. Like, I-B.
01:14:58
Brother Devon
Yeah, like I don't know of double A, but it's like two and a half.
01:15:01
Brother Devon
It's double and a half A, I'd say.
01:15:03
slimeballsteve
Yeah, I could say that.
01:15:04
slimeballsteve
I would say that. Double A. Hey, you know what?
01:15:06
Brother Devon
Yeah, yeah.
01:15:06
slimeballsteve
It's very versatile.
01:15:09
slimeballsteve
It's good, honestly, like, you know, if you're ah into the game or like the idea of the game, but you're a little kind of hesitant on paying for like full price for it at the moment, like definitely wait for a sale because it is fun.
01:15:21
slimeballsteve
It is definitely like it's, yeah.
01:15:22
Brother Devon
Yeah, and it's it's for sure worth full price. But yeah, it's like you just want to wait like it's game rules.
01:15:27
slimeballsteve
you can You can make the most of it and get like your full money's value or you can just like play like the campaign and still like really enjoy what you but you've given in just that. and like Then you'll probably jump over to like the co-op or like you'll play them like in tandem too. It's great, it's a great package.
01:15:46
Brother Devon
Yeah, Steve Salmarnius, Calgar, had no idea who he was. And I was like, who's category was me?
01:15:50
slimeballsteve
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, you think, you think, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. yeah You think I wouldn't- You don't think I wouldn't know my own chapter leader?
01:15:54
Brother Devon
Yeah Technically Technically he's not he's not even the chapter leader at this point Well, he's the chapter master, but he's not Revute Gulliman.
01:16:00
slimeballsteve
You buffoon!
01:16:03
MERLINCHESTNUT
It's got you there.
01:16:03
Phantom Libtard
Do you know how much I sacrificed?
01:16:05
slimeballsteve
Dude, he does- Dude, but he's not- What the fuck?
01:16:07
Phantom Libtard
You're the same.
01:16:09
slimeballsteve
What the fuck?
01:16:12
Brother Devon
Who's the Primark?
01:16:13
MERLINCHESTNUT
Mm, shake that reboutรฉ.
01:16:13
slimeballsteve
Oh, that's what I just said. I think I- I- I was trying to keep it a little laid back for, you know, the laymen.
01:16:16
Brother Devon
You piece of shit
01:16:21
Brother Devon
Oh my God, dude, I was the last thing I'll say about it.
01:16:23
slimeballsteve
Yeah, go for it.
01:16:23
Brother Devon
I watched some fucking disgusting video where. You know how we were talking about woke wokeism, woke game and stuff like that?
01:16:32
Phantom Libtard
I was like.
01:16:32
Brother Devon
That's God was complaining about how what space marine two was.
01:16:34
Phantom Libtard
I'm sorry, but god damn it.
01:16:35
slimeballsteve
The work list.
01:16:37
Brother Devon
And he's like, I don't know the lore, but.
01:16:37
Phantom Libtard
God damn it.
01:16:40
Brother Devon
You know, pretty sure ah the these guys are they have ah what's called a gene seed of their their father, who's a white guy. This guy is clearly black.
01:16:51
Brother Devon
So this is just a woke nonsense. And like I was just infuriated because I was like, not only is that like just mask off racist, right? It's just also like, dude, it's not even how it fucking works.
01:17:04
Brother Devon
You buffoon. You absolute bell end knob.
01:17:07
MERLINCHESTNUT
Get him, Devin.
01:17:09
Brother Devon
I was so mad.
01:17:10
slimeballsteve
I like it when the Warhammer guys are like, you racist idiot.
01:17:18
Brother Devon
Yeah, because like all all the space rings are pretty racist, like they're pretty definitively.
01:17:18
MERLINCHESTNUT
Of course. That's their thing.
01:17:23
slimeballsteve
you are You are playing the fascist nightmare world.
01:17:28
slimeballsteve
But like that's the thing, the people who are playing that recognize that. And they're like, yeah, this is this is a universe run by war and everything is miserable, but you know what? They are big chainswords, so that's cool.
01:17:42
Brother Devon
And this guy's going to try to protect the guy that looks like you because, you know, everything's trying to kill you.
01:17:49
slimeballsteve
Devin, do you remember when the first game came out? I forget. I think it was um maybe it was Kotaku, but they put out a um an article about Space Marine One where they were like Space Marine One is it was the most feminist game it was.
01:18:03
Brother Devon
Only how like feminist it was. Yeah.
01:18:06
slimeballsteve
And I remember reading that and being like, dang, you know, what you're not wrong.
01:18:09
Brother Devon
They're right. you like
01:18:10
slimeballsteve
But like, you know, it is it is kind of like leaps and bounds how far we've jumped in like kind of gaming culture. From like back then where it'll be like, you know, it was a guy looking over his shoulder with orange and blue.
01:18:26
slimeballsteve
And you're like, you know, there's there's there's so much more in the gaming sphere now. So it's like kind of kind of interesting because it's like, you know, um discussions like that kind of helped us branch out from just kind of being a little bit more of a ah basic brain hobby into something, you know, more more thought out, which is nice.
01:18:45
MERLINCHESTNUT
Oh yeah. The only unfortunate aspect is the discourse has obviously gone downhill. You know what I mean? Like the discourse back then was talking about how this game was shockingly feminist.
01:18:52
slimeballsteve
Yeah, the fact that Well, that's the thing
01:18:57
MERLINCHESTNUT
But now it would be like, I can't believe this game is feminist.
01:18:58
Brother Devon
Now it's like it's Yeah, it's
01:19:01
MERLINCHESTNUT
This is a piece of shit.
Evolution of Gaming Culture
01:19:02
Brother Devon
like how woke this this game is cuz it got black space for you.
01:19:02
slimeballsteve
like that's That's a that's an article pregame gamergate like that that game came out before then and now it's like we're existing in a world where there are literal hive mind monsters in their little caves coming up with which games are on the woke list and
01:19:06
Brother Devon
He should be a white guy.
01:19:22
MERLINCHESTNUT
It's every game. Every game Anything you have to play with your fingers is woke.
01:19:23
slimeballsteve
Dude, any game any game that is good is woke.
01:19:32
MERLINCHESTNUT
It's woke.
01:19:32
Brother Devon
Yeah, look trash I Don't care about that list Give me the bad news first
01:19:33

01:22:13
MERLINCHESTNUT

01:22:37
Phantom Libtard
And it's everything that came out last year or the year or this year.
01:22:42
Phantom Libtard
So they'd like the last of us win anything.
01:22:42
Brother Devon
You wish last year.
01:22:43
MERLINCHESTNUT
It's like a mix. It's kind of a mix of both, I think. It's everything I'll be doing.
01:22:46
Phantom Libtard
What about. um
01:22:48
Brother Devon
The cut off point is so awkward in in for the head means because it's like July.

01:23:15
MERLINCHESTNUT

Phantom Libtard
Maybe it wasn't good enough.
01:23:17
slimeballsteve
The Simpsons!
01:23:18
MERLINCHESTNUT
What the fuck? I saw Scavengers reign, I really like that, but it's not my favorite.
01:23:23
Phantom Libtard
Well, X-Men 97 win anything anyway, just because of all the controversy around it.
01:23:28
MERLINCHESTNUT
Absolutely not, no.
01:23:29
Brother Devon
I mean, I think it had one shot and and it lost a blow at samurai.
01:23:33
MERLINCHESTNUT
I think it's...
01:23:33
Phantom Libtard
It's because he's he's he's releasing the information on his only fans, right?
01:23:37
MERLINCHESTNUT
It's too weird.
01:23:38
Phantom Libtard
That's why.
01:23:38
MERLINCHESTNUT
I think there's too much...
01:23:40
Phantom Libtard
They don't want and they don't want a situation where that guy can come up and say something.
01:23:44
MERLINCHESTNUT
Yeah, yes.
01:23:46
Brother Devon
Also, like I do. if What's funny is I actually like that actor, Limon Morris. Like he's a new girl and he's very funny in that.
01:23:55
Phantom Libtard
yeah The the the X-Men 97 guy.
01:23:58
Brother Devon
The guy in Fargo. No, no, the guy. No, no, no, the guy in Fargo.
01:24:00
Phantom Libtard
Oh, oh. Oh, yeah, that's the guy for a new girl.
01:24:03
Brother Devon
Yeah, I love I love that the writer.
01:24:04
Phantom Libtard
That's the guy for a new girl.
01:24:06
Brother Devon
He's great. Did nothing wrong.
01:24:06
Phantom Libtard
I love that guy. I love that. I love that he said on Solicitid dick pics to his coworkers and.
01:24:11
Brother Devon
Yeah, and just was apparently a piece of shit. He's awesome. ah
01:24:15
Phantom Libtard
Oh, speaking of that kind of stuff, you guys hearing all the shit behind fucking. um Jason Momoa on the Minecraft thing.
01:24:23
Brother Devon
Oh, yeah, I heard he was.
01:24:23
slimeballsteve
No, wait, what up?
01:24:24
Phantom Libtard
One streamer, like a lot of people are saying that maybe don't trust what she says, but the one streamer was saying on on a hot ones like copy show. Copycat show.
01:24:35
Phantom Libtard
She was saying that Jason Momoa was like treating the staff like shitty or something.
01:24:41
Brother Devon
Yeah, yeah, he like just nasty to the crew.
01:24:44
Phantom Libtard
Is he known to be like that or?
01:24:47
Brother Devon
That's. No, but then I looked at a Reddit thread and then I saw a bunch of other stuff. And I was like, I mean, it's it's fucking Reddit threads like it's Reddit responders.
01:24:52
MERLINCHESTNUT
Oh. I always thought he was really nice to people at work.
01:24:56
Brother Devon
So that was my understanding. He always seemed like I'm like a down to earth guy.
01:25:01
MERLINCHESTNUT
Did he like, he bought something for his like makeup artists on an Aquaman or was like this whole.
01:25:10
Phantom Libtard
Yeah, he's usually he seems like a pretty chill guy um like.
01:25:13
Brother Devon
But these are the all also the people that are like saying this shit. I'm not saying this, the streamer, but like the people on the internet are like, remember when he purposefully triggered his co-star Amber Heard by purposefully dressing up like Johnny Depp?
01:25:28
Brother Devon
And it's like, what the fuck are you talking about?
01:25:31
Brother Devon
Because like they have a similar style. They wear like scarves and rings.
01:25:33
Phantom Libtard
Is that real? Yeah, is that like a real thing?
01:25:34
Brother Devon
Yeah. Yeah. That was a real thing that people were saying about him. and
01:25:37
Phantom Libtard
Oh, they were saying that he was doing it on purpose to fuck with her?
01:25:39
Brother Devon
Yeah, they're like, yeah, he was he was just a piece of shit. He was trying to trigger on set.
01:25:44
Brother Devon
And it's like because I think Amber Heard said something like I don't think she was like accusing him, but she was like, yeah, it's like I just see a guy with rings and scarf and I just like will shake me up a little bit.
01:25:56
Brother Devon
But it's you know, this is like during the whole fucking thing.
01:26:00
Brother Devon
And it was I hear that stuff and you're like, all right, like how serious are we really taking all this stuff? But You know, I'm not going to say people ah are awesome all the time. They can obviously have bad days, which would suck. But, you know. Either way, I hope it's not true.
01:26:24
MERLINCHESTNUT
Hmm. Yeah, it's a shame. But I'm not seeing that Minecraft movie. I don't care how many people yells that.
01:26:24
Phantom Libtard
Interesting.
01:26:30
Brother Devon
Do. You wouldn't.
01:26:35
MERLINCHESTNUT
ah Yeah, you are.
01:26:36
slimeballsteve
Chris, do you base your movies based on how many people are yelled at?
01:26:36
MERLINCHESTNUT
You are yeah you fucking know me, Steve.
01:26:39
Brother Devon
That's why he loves to see every Joaquin Phoenix movie, dude. Don't love that, man.
01:26:44
slimeballsteve
Joaquin walking off the set more like it.
01:26:45
MERLINCHESTNUT
Hey. Yeah, Devin, you posted that story about Split where.
01:26:50
Brother Devon
Yeah, I had one. I had no idea he was supposed to be in Split.
01:26:53
MERLINCHESTNUT
Me either.
01:26:54
slimeballsteve
Makes it makes sense, though, because like, you know, he likes to reuse the actors in those movies, so.
01:26:59
Brother Devon
And the story goes that he apparently split from filming two weeks, two weeks before the movie was set to start.
01:27:06
Phantom Libtard
ah Hey now
01:27:09
Brother Devon
ah James McAvoy was brought in very last minute. and Yeah, he was just Yeah,
01:27:13
MERLINCHESTNUT
For God's sakes, I'm not sucking anybody's dick! And he just walked out.
01:27:20
Brother Devon
say that's not I'm not cross-dressing that's gay and let me stop Yeah
01:27:23
slimeballsteve
He thought he thought the movie was called spit and then left
01:27:30
Brother Devon
So, oh, Yeah, exactly.
01:27:31
MERLINCHESTNUT
terribleable to prove anyway
01:27:36
Brother Devon
So, yeah, I don't know.
01:27:36
MERLINCHESTNUT
leaves Yeah, you don't really He
01:27:38
Brother Devon
That's interesting, though, because like. I can't imagine what that movie would look like with fucking Joaquin Phoenix in that role. Because I'm not going to say he's not for I just can't imagine because I think James McAvoy did such a good job in that.
01:27:53
MERLINCHESTNUT
did he did definitely
01:27:55
Brother Devon
And it's just like I don't I can't I don't think of Joaquin Phoenix as being able to jump around characters like that.
01:27:55
slimeballsteve
That movie.
01:28:03
MERLINCHESTNUT
I think he could do it. Like I think ah you're right. Like I really liked James McAvoy quite a bit, but like he Phoenix has always played on hinge characters.
01:28:12
Brother Devon
Yeah, but like, could he play?
01:28:15
Brother Devon
Could he switch it up? Like, I feel like I don't know. I mean, obviously, I think he could have done it, but it's just it's hard for me to visualize.
01:28:21
slimeballsteve
That might be interesting to rewatch. Like rewatch split, but imagine Joaquin Phoenix in that movie in that role.
01:28:29
MERLINCHESTNUT
Honestly, I don't know. I don't really see. it being that far off from him, his ability.
01:28:34
slimeballsteve
Like it could be the role was written for him, so.
01:28:38
MERLINCHESTNUT
i I guess that would make sense. I mean, you see a lot of movies he plays, he does play a certain type.
01:28:42
Brother Devon
He thought he was only going to be the beast. And he was like, Oh, nevermind.
01:28:47
slimeballsteve
Oh, I thought it was going to be a thing where I played one of the characters, and then you switch to another actor as oh.
01:28:49
Brother Devon
I just, I just eat. Oh, that sucks. I'm leaving.
01:28:55
slimeballsteve
But isn't this what like kind of put James McAvoy a little more out into like the the space?
01:29:00
MERLINCHESTNUT
I'm going to tell you something, Steve. I looked because I was interested in that new movie he was in and I browsed his IMDB Mr. James McAvoy. That guy has a river of shit as an IMDB page.
01:29:13
Brother Devon
That guy's, uh, he's willing to do a lot of movies.
01:29:16
MERLINCHESTNUT
Yes, he is. And yeah I think Split was like his best.
01:29:18
Brother Devon
And, uh, some are not that good.
01:29:22
slimeballsteve
Yeah, was that like the breakout one that kind of like put him in like the lime one not the Yeah, i'm looking Yeah wanted 2008
01:29:26
Brother Devon
What was his first movie that I.
01:29:28
MERLINCHESTNUT
We'll call it breakout. I'd say it's more like it like reignited his career a little bit, you know?
01:29:35
Brother Devon
Cause like, I feel like the first movie I remember really seeing him in as bad as it sounds, it's like wanted.
01:29:43
MERLINCHESTNUT
Yeah, once it I think was the one for me too.
01:29:45
Brother Devon
You know, I was like, who's this guy?
01:29:49
slimeballsteve
Last King of Scotland.
01:29:49
Brother Devon
on I did see that.
01:29:50
slimeballsteve
He was in Chronicles of Narnia, the Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.
01:29:51
MERLINCHESTNUT
Yeah, that's right. I remember.
01:29:55
Brother Devon
Yeah, I didn't care about that. um
01:29:58
MERLINCHESTNUT
I think as far as acting ability, that last king of Scotland kind of put him on the map.
01:30:04
Brother Devon
Yeah, because he's good now.
01:30:04
MERLINCHESTNUT
But yeah, I'm with him, and I think as far as like popular popular movies, I first saw him in Wanted.
01:30:05
Brother Devon
He's good now, but yeah.
01:30:12
MERLINCHESTNUT
And I was like, who's that guy? He's good.
01:30:14
MERLINCHESTNUT
I'm like...
01:30:14
Brother Devon
And then and then he played Charles Xavier in that very good X-Men movie.
01:30:18
MERLINCHESTNUT
Oh, he was Chucky.
01:30:20
Brother Devon
Charles. Charles, I can't feel my legs.
01:30:23
Brother Devon
Isn't this good acting?
01:30:23
MERLINCHESTNUT
Chucky X over here. I'm Chucky X.
01:30:25
slimeballsteve
Dude, I'm crazy. In my head, Split came out way, way, way, way, way, way earlier.
01:30:31
slimeballsteve
That is a 2016 movie.
01:30:33
slimeballsteve
What the hell?
01:30:34
Brother Devon
Yeah, dude.
01:30:34
Phantom Libtard
You sure, Charles?
01:30:37
slimeballsteve
He was already on like the fourth X-Men movie by this point.
01:30:40
Brother Devon
Well, well, that was the thing, right? Is like, I think to Chris's point, like he did the first X movie. We were like, all right, he's really good in this.
01:30:48
Brother Devon
And then like there were a few bad X-Men movies and then like. He was also in.
01:30:56
Brother Devon
Oh, man, where is it? I was just looking at it. Oh, like Victor Frankenstein, like that really bad movie.
01:31:02
Brother Devon
And then, yeah, Split came out. Oh, this guy's actually pretty good again. Atomic Blonde, which I didn't see, but pretty good.
01:31:08
MERLINCHESTNUT
Yeah, he's good in that.
01:31:09
Brother Devon
Uh, yeah, but oh yeah, looking at some of this stuff.
01:31:09
MERLINCHESTNUT
Tom McLellan is okay, but he's good. He's good in that movie.
01:31:15
Phantom Libtard
All right, bro.
01:31:15
Brother Devon
He's pretty rough.
01:31:17
slimeballsteve
eight Chapter two.
01:31:19
slimeballsteve
At least be in the good one, idiot.
01:31:21
MERLINCHESTNUT
a Yeah, he's awful.
01:31:22
Brother Devon
yeah He's really, I think he's really bad at it. Chapter two. Like I think, I don't know whose fault that was, but that was a bad movie.
01:31:28
MERLINCHESTNUT
Yeah, he sure is.
01:31:33
MERLINCHESTNUT
Yup. and I think that guy is directing the Salem's lot. No. Yeah, he's doing Salem's lot No, not flan man.
01:31:41
Phantom Libtard
Flanagan? Flan-man?
01:31:43
MERLINCHESTNUT
The man who made Yeah, I think let me double-check that I'm not sure But you you posted that trailer Devin for Salem's lot
01:31:44
Brother Devon
machete Yeah, and I I hate to say it but I was looking at the trails and I so I've I know very vaguely what Salem's lot is I've never watched it Also, any machete is not doing say
01:31:52
Brother Devon
yeah and i i hate to say it but i was living the trail i was like and i so i i know very vaguely but salem's lot is i've never watched it ah any machete is not doing say
01:32:06
MERLINCHESTNUT
No, no, no. Gary.
01:32:08
Brother Devon
He did The Flash. That was his last movie.
01:32:10
MERLINCHESTNUT
Oh that's right.
01:32:12
Brother Devon
The movie I still kind of weirdly liked. And then the more I think about it, the less I like it.
01:32:16
MERLINCHESTNUT
Oh, this guy wrote it chapter two.
01:32:16
Brother Devon
But anyway.
01:32:21
Phantom Libtard
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
01:32:22
Brother Devon
Yeah, so like I know it's like the books about like a town that gets taken over by vampires, but somehow this trailer didn't look at all interesting.
01:32:34
Brother Devon
And also like, I don't mean to be that guy. Like I know this was around first, but I feel like the Mike Flanagan Netflix show like ate its lunch a little bit.
01:32:43
MERLINCHESTNUT
Yeah, it did. That's the best Salem's Lot adaptation.
01:32:47
Brother Devon
That's what I mean. I'm like, so this is just that Salem slot and it's okay.
01:32:51
MERLINCHESTNUT
Yeah, you know, it looks like a bunch of no name actors, but the thing I do notice about this in particular is they don't show Barlow, who is like the head vampire. So they're probably saving that as that's going to be like their big name actor.
01:33:07
MERLINCHESTNUT
Because I haven't heard who's who it's going to be.
01:33:09
slimeballsteve
You're hoping, You're hoping.
01:33:10
Brother Devon
Yeah, but like, I mean, not for nothing, though, like this movie has been like.
01:33:16
Brother Devon
Delayed a lot like that.
01:33:18
MERLINCHESTNUT
Oh really?
01:33:18
Brother Devon
Yeah. And I think there's a reason why it's going straight to Max. Like, I think this might be a stinker anyway.
01:33:22
MERLINCHESTNUT
What is this thing here? Yeah.
01:33:26
Brother Devon
I don't know, ah but.
01:33:26
slimeballsteve
And yeah, we can't get the John Cena Looney Tunes movie.
01:33:31
Brother Devon
Yeah, but but
Salem's Lot Movie Adaptation
01:33:32
Brother Devon
it's like, I don't know.
01:33:33
Brother Devon
It's like, listen, you couldn't find space for Sam's lot in the in the fucking theater in October of this year.
01:33:40
MERLINCHESTNUT
Yeah. i think I think I know why it didn't get a theater release is because there are no notable actors in it.
01:33:40
slimeballsteve
That is kind of wild.
01:33:48
MERLINCHESTNUT
There's no there's nothing really marked.
01:33:49
slimeballsteve
But that's the thing about horror, man. You just schlock it up a little bit.
01:33:53
MERLINCHESTNUT
You might be right. I mean, maybe it's a ah lack of imagination.
01:33:59
Brother Devon
Uh, you know, I, I know like we like to make the joke. This should have been a TV show. This should have been a movie, but like, I was surprised when I they found that this was a movie.
01:34:08
MERLINCHESTNUT
Yeah, me too.
01:34:08
Brother Devon
Like I was like, Oh, this isn't like an eight episode mini series, but then I guess you really are just getting midnight masks.
01:34:13
Phantom Libtard
If it was the flan man, maybe it would would have been right.
01:34:16
slimeballsteve
Oh man, if it was the Flynn man, yeah.
01:34:17
MERLINCHESTNUT
Well, that's the cool thing about the flameman's version because the the whole point of it, like the whole point of Salem's lives, you like, you find out all these people, like the book's perspective changes a lot.
01:34:19
Phantom Libtard
Yeah, he just won't yeah he wouldn't.
01:34:29
MERLINCHESTNUT
It'll go to different people in the town and what they're doing and how they get bit by Barlow and turn into vampires. Like it is a very sprawling book and there's all these characters that are in the town and it's exactly like Flanagan did, like he did it perfectly.
01:34:44
MERLINCHESTNUT
He built all these little characters up. They all had their little flaws and their, their desires and stuff. And then it all came to a point with them turning into vampires.
01:34:54
MERLINCHESTNUT
So like, um, yeah, you're right, Devin. I think it would have been serviced way better as a show where you get to build up all these characters.
01:35:03
Brother Devon
Well, you know, maybe the Rob Lowe version will be better.
01:35:08
Brother Devon
Apparently they he did a movie, a TV media series in 2004.
01:35:10
MERLINCHESTNUT
Oh, is that the 2004. The one with, um, Rucker Howard, I think.
01:35:15
Brother Devon
Maybe I just know Rob Lowe's in it and it looks bad.
01:35:15
MERLINCHESTNUT
Isn't it? I don't know.
01:35:20
Brother Devon
It's got a leather jacket.
01:35:22
MERLINCHESTNUT
Well, it's, um, it's also a book by Stephen King where he puts himself in as the main character. So you got that with a great small too.
01:35:35
Brother Devon
Hell yeah, dude, hell yeah.
01:35:35
slimeballsteve
oh Oh yeah.
01:35:38
Brother Devon
Oh, those Pullman's in this?
01:35:38
slimeballsteve
That's nature writing itself.
01:35:40
Brother Devon
Okay. I weirdly like that guy.
01:35:44
MERLINCHESTNUT
Yeah, I don't know how this one's going to turn out. Let's go either way.
01:35:48
Brother Devon
Yeah, ah well, you know what's a fucking home run, Chris? Venom, the last dance.
01:35:53
MERLINCHESTNUT
ah Let me put my sewn.
01:35:54
Phantom Libtard
Why is it? Why is it called the last dance?
01:35:56
Brother Devon
Because it's the last one!
01:35:58
MERLINCHESTNUT
I'll feel bad question. Let me put my own I own Sony stock have back on. You see, John, they're introducing null into the Venom verse, of course, a very famous, lovable character, Steve loves them.
01:36:11
slimeballsteve
He was a very good card in Marvel Snap.
01:36:15
MERLINCHESTNUT
And yeah, we're just trying to push no out there get everybody seeing him.
01:36:20
MERLINCHESTNUT
He's great. He's a big guy. He's he's he's dark um There's a veil or something you guys are gonna love this movie I Hope I really hope because I want to make a lot of money
01:36:24
Brother Devon
Dark room, dark man.
01:36:29
slimeballsteve
Dude, we are going to be chanting. Let's get null to fill this hole in the theater. It's going to be great.
01:36:41
Brother Devon
Yeah. Yeah. So ah this is the it's it's the last one. I'm pretty sure Tom already is like, this is I'm I'm done. It's the last.
01:36:50
slimeballsteve
Why not just call it venom the last one?
01:36:53
MERLINCHESTNUT
That would have been funny.
01:36:53
Brother Devon
good What is this Deadpool?
01:36:56
Brother Devon
And somebody's doing a little too much Deadpool lately. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Yeah, this is ah it's funny because like the first trailer or the teaser, I guess.
01:37:07
Brother Devon
I was like, well, I don't know what the plot is of this movie. This definitely looks like it's a road trip movie with Noll in it. And Noll is. I've read a little bit of Noll.
01:37:20
MERLINCHESTNUT
Oh boy, here he comes.
01:37:21
Brother Devon
He's basically he's like the creator of the symbiotes, and he's a very cool character, apparently, in the comic books, very popular.
01:37:33
Brother Devon
And he's being played by Durrell, Dural Dixon himself.
01:37:38
Phantom Libtard
Oh, Daryl!
01:37:38
MERLINCHESTNUT
Oh, fucking A.
01:37:40
Brother Devon
Yeah, so. And what is just funny is that the creators.
01:37:44
Phantom Libtard
chris why chris you you seem Chris, you seem so excited for this.
01:37:47
MERLINCHESTNUT
ah Yeah, it's going to be great. I love it.
01:37:51
Brother Devon
Yeah, it's just funny because Donny Cates and Ryan Stegman, who are the creators of Knoll, were like, I didn't know he was going to be in this movie. Can I have some money, please? Which is.
01:38:01
MERLINCHESTNUT
No, that's what's in it.
01:38:03
Brother Devon
Yeah, which is basically the, uh, no, ah you will not get any money. Oh, what the fuck do you think you're doing asking me for that?
01:38:11
MERLINCHESTNUT
You wait, you draw funny paint pictures in ah in a comic book for kids? Yeah, go home.
01:38:15
Brother Devon
Yeah. And that is, uh, it's, that's, that's an awkward deal, man. Cause it's like, would it have been as popular if it wasn't a Marvel character? Probably not. But also this guy's like, I made this character.
01:38:29
Brother Devon
Please give me credit. And they're like, no, or like you get credit, but like, are you going to get money? Any real money from it? No.
01:38:37
MERLINCHESTNUT
Well, you see, our mill rides a motorcycle.
01:38:40
Brother Devon
Arnold, he kills our most.
01:38:43
MERLINCHESTNUT
He cool. You know, we got long hair.
01:38:44
Brother Devon
He's cool as fuck.
01:38:45
slimeballsteve
I love the idea that they're just describing Lobo.
01:38:49
MERLINCHESTNUT
Yeah, I'm much better.
01:38:49
Brother Devon
Yeah, it beats up Superman.
01:38:50
slimeballsteve
Real cool intergalactic bounty hunt of pizza, pizza of Superman. I don't think we can do that.
01:38:56
slimeballsteve
Whatever, man. You know, no.
01:38:59
MERLINCHESTNUT
He blew up his home planet as a science project.
01:39:02
slimeballsteve
That's so no.
01:39:06
Brother Devon
Yeah, so I don't know Good for Noel. I guess I'm sure I'm sure he will get like the same treatment that Marvel gave like Thanos I'm sure he's gonna have nice long arc two movies probably I think won't be wasted.
01:39:10
MERLINCHESTNUT
Yeah, really good for now. I'm happy for
01:39:17
MERLINCHESTNUT
Definitely. Pretty shockingly good.
01:39:20
Brother Devon
He won't be wasted or thrown away and I'm sure Vulture won't show up at the end. God. I think this has something to do with spider-man Something tells me
01:39:32
MERLINCHESTNUT
You hope it doesn't?
01:39:33
Brother Devon
I'm sorry, that's craven, that's craven, my bad.
01:39:35
MERLINCHESTNUT
You hope it doesn't happen?
01:39:36
Phantom Libtard
that's so craven
01:39:37
Brother Devon
That's so craven.
01:39:38
MERLINCHESTNUT
Yeah, he's the Mick Crayton.
01:39:38
slimeballsteve
and like Wait, did the McRaven movie come out?
01:39:40
Brother Devon
No, it got delayed.
01:39:42
slimeballsteve
Oh, okay, so maybe they'll put a Craven tease in this one, like, we better hire our jungle guy.
01:39:48
Brother Devon
Only one man could kill an intergalactic symbiote god and that's craven.
01:39:48
MERLINCHESTNUT
You know, Steve.
01:39:53
slimeballsteve
Only one guy can kill that badass, no.
01:39:54
MERLINCHESTNUT
Steve, do you know why it got delayed?
01:39:57
slimeballsteve
Why's that?
01:39:59
MERLINCHESTNUT
Because I think they want audiences to go see it more than once during Christmas break.
01:39:59
Phantom Libtard
That's so craven.
01:40:04
MERLINCHESTNUT
It's going to be something really fun. So we want to get people out there, go see it twice, three times, four times, five.
01:40:10
slimeballsteve
Chris, I am not disrupting my Christmas festivities to go see Craven, the spin-off to null.
01:40:17
MERLINCHESTNUT
You know, maybe your Christmas festivities aren't that great, you know?
01:40:20
slimeballsteve
God damn it! You know what?
01:40:21
MERLINCHESTNUT
ah I mean, come on.
01:40:22
slimeballsteve
You're right! You sold me on him!
Anticipation for Craven Movie
01:40:24
MERLINCHESTNUT
There you go. Go see Craven. Everybody go see Craven.
01:40:25
slimeballsteve
I'm Cra- I'm Craven, some Christmas Craven!
01:40:28
MERLINCHESTNUT
Everybody's going to be happy at Christmas or Craven.
01:40:31
Brother Devon
Uh, you know, who's craving some jobs about 650 people, uh, Mike, uh, laid off, uh, from the Xbox gaming business.
01:40:35
MERLINCHESTNUT
Oh, Jesus. From where?
01:40:40
Brother Devon
Uh, they've been firing people left and right. Phil Spencer said, yeah, just be like, dude, I'm fucking bad at this job.
01:40:45
slimeballsteve
Phil, just say things are going bad, buddy.
01:40:50
slimeballsteve
Dude, it's like you and two other guys now, I bet.
01:40:53
Brother Devon
And it's like no studios, right? It's just like people. I don't really, it's not like, Oh, we're closing the studio down.
01:40:57
slimeballsteve
It's just like, he's just setting people on fire now.
01:41:02
Brother Devon
Yeah. Uh, as to date, they've left Microsoft alone is let go 2,550 staff since acquiring blizzard for $69 billion dollars last year.
01:41:10
slimeballsteve
There's so many people, God damn.
01:41:16
MERLINCHESTNUT
Oh, it's getting cold in Xbox because Blizzard's coming in.
01:41:18
Brother Devon
Yeah. Somehow I don't think that's putting a dent. I don't think that's putting a dent in it guys. Fire like 2,500 people.
01:41:25
Brother Devon
That's, that's gotta be like a few hundred thousand, right?
01:41:25
slimeballsteve
You bought, you bought, you spent billions of dollars, and then you had to be like, oh, we need to make up for this, so we're gonna fire most of you guys, because all we wanted was the IPs, and we're gonna give them to our idiots, who couldn't even make a heckin' Halo game for the Xbox One properly.
01:41:28
Brother Devon
Maybe a mill.
01:41:50
MERLINCHESTNUT
It's a good move.
01:41:51
slimeballsteve
Yeah, yeah, yeah, real shrewd business moves.
01:41:53
MERLINCHESTNUT
That's a good move, man.
01:41:54
MERLINCHESTNUT
Smart move.
01:41:55
Brother Devon
So, you know, I don't know. It's just not, you're not even making a quarter with them.
01:41:59
slimeballsteve
You know what though? 650, it's not 700 people like the PlayStation will do next week to compete price-wise and people-wise.
01:42:08
MERLINCHESTNUT
Jesus Christ.
01:42:10
MERLINCHESTNUT
They just keep firing more and more people like back and forth.
01:42:13
slimeballsteve
Yeah, that's that's how they tease the price of their next console.
01:42:16
MERLINCHESTNUT
but It's gonna be Phil Spence and that other guy, alone.
01:42:19
Brother Devon
Yeah, also interesting.
01:42:22
slimeballsteve
Oh God, what was his name? Major Nelson.
01:42:25
MERLINCHESTNUT
Major Nelson?
01:42:26
Brother Devon
Major Nelson, dude,
Xbox Staff Layoffs & Blizzard Acquisition
01:42:28
Phantom Libtard
Oh, the Nell.
01:42:29
Brother Devon
he was one of those guys that had like a really weird name, but then just like I think just was still generally pretty well liked.
01:42:33
MERLINCHESTNUT
Is he an old Southern man?
01:42:37
slimeballsteve
He was just this guy who would be like, hey guys, this is worth coming to Xbox this week.
01:42:37
Brother Devon
Oh, he was just a guy, dude.
01:42:39
Phantom Libtard
It's Xbox guy, right? He's the Xbox guy.
01:42:41
Brother Devon
Yeah, he was like the X-Rex guy that was just forever around and people seemed like they liked him, you know?
01:42:47
MERLINCHESTNUT
Well, he might get the job next.
01:42:49
Brother Devon
Well, he retired.
01:42:51
MERLINCHESTNUT
Oh, good for good on him.
01:42:52
Brother Devon
Like after the blizzard thing, he was like, thank you, I'm done.
01:42:55
MERLINCHESTNUT
Get that paycheck the fuck out of there.
01:42:56
slimeballsteve
He saw the writing on the wall.
01:43:00
Brother Devon
Yeah, ah but also a bunch of people also left the company, but this time it was on purpose. Annapurna Interactive's entire staff resigned from the company.
01:43:10
Phantom Libtard
ah The stray the stray devs.
01:43:12
slimeballsteve
This is interesting, this is crazy interesting.
01:43:17
MERLINCHESTNUT
Is this, this is the video, this was the film production company that expanded into
01:43:21
Brother Devon
Yeah, so the film for Annapurna Pictures also has an arm called Annapurna Interactive, which is like the video game side. And they've done a lot of pretty cool games.
01:43:32
slimeballsteve
They did the James McAvoy game, what was that, seven minutes?
01:43:35
Brother Devon
They said 15 minutes or something like that.
01:43:37
slimeballsteve
Something like that, yeah.
01:43:38
Brother Devon
He's not a good game. That's pretty. It's an OK game, but the story of that is like was somebody should not have done this.
01:43:46
Brother Devon
Well, yeah, Annapurna was just like has a lot of cool games like as a publisher, they have a lot of cool games, like kind of Outer Wilds, What Remains of Eve did the Finch, Neon White, Stray, a bunch of other stuff.
01:44:04
Brother Devon
And it's just like, I don't know, it's cool stuff.
01:44:06
Brother Devon
But so they all quit on purpose because there was some sort of it's like still a little confusing. But it has something to do with they were trying to renegotiate between Annapurna founder Megan Ellison and Annapurna interactive president Nathan Gary. And they just like couldn't come to terms with whatever like the next step of of the deal is going to be. So not only did it just fall through, but everybody left, which is, you know, only 25 people, but still it's the
01:44:46
Brother Devon
It's a pretty wild thing that they were just like, we would rather just quit our jobs and work with you.
01:44:48
MERLINCHESTNUT
Well, but I think that they still, the deal with remedy with control to an Allen wake is with the broader company of Anna Perna.
01:45:00
Brother Devon
Yeah, that's it.
01:45:02
MERLINCHESTNUT
So that's safe.
01:45:02
Brother Devon
So they're safe. Yeah.
01:45:04
MERLINCHESTNUT
Yeah. Well, that's, I guess that's good.
01:45:07
Brother Devon
Yeah. I don't know. I think part of me just thinks maybe they were just like, You guys got to make ah a hero shooter. And they're like, no, we don't want to do that. It's like, no, we'll give you more money.
01:45:18
Brother Devon
And they were like, no, we just we're not going to do that. Like I don't exactly know. Like nobody really knows what the specifics were. um I know like Megan Ellison doesn't really have a good rep.
01:45:33
Brother Devon
I think it's kind of one of those like everybody who works at Annapurna pictures and interactive. They're just like from one family and the family is not well thought of.
01:45:46
Brother Devon
Just a bunch of rich idiots.
01:45:48
Brother Devon
Again, this is just some like I'm probably reading a little too into it, but.
01:45:52
slimeballsteve
It's just reports to note that Ellison ended the negotiations, which led Gary division co-heads, Deborah Mars and Nathan Vela and the rest of the team to exit the company. So I imagine they were just like, Hey, you know what? We kind of want to have a little more say on what we're working on. Maybe like, you know, better hours, you know, just better, just better stuff all around. And, uh, they were probably just like, no.
01:46:16
slimeballsteve
negotiations over and they were like, well, you know what? Screw you. We're all even.
01:46:20
Brother Devon
Yeah, so they said they still would have been making indie games, but yeah, it's just we don't know a lot, but it's just interesting.
01:46:27
Phantom Libtard
So how long till how long till Phil Spencer just calls them up and is like.
01:46:32
Brother Devon
Well, they'll fire them, so we don't want that.
01:46:34
slimeballsteve
That's really good.
01:46:34
Phantom Libtard
That's what I was going to say. We got some spots for you, but a couple of months we we might have to lay you off.
01:46:40
Brother Devon
Yeah, we're just going to fire you.
01:46:42
Phantom Libtard
That's the caveat.
01:46:42
Brother Devon
Oh, you don't want to make an indie Halo?
01:46:43
Phantom Libtard
That's the caveat.
01:46:45
Brother Devon
I guess you're fired. Sorry.
01:46:47
Phantom Libtard
look Here's the deal. We'll hire you guys, but if PlayStation 5 Pro sells out on this first wave, we're going to lay you off.
01:46:55
slimeballsteve
We're gonna just have to just clean house.
01:46:56
Brother Devon
I'm just gonna go on another podcast and talk about how much I fucking suck. Fucking suck, dude.
01:47:00
slimeballsteve
Dude, I really blew the big one.
01:47:02
