Speaker: Hey, it's Oddly Coded.
Speaker: Home of the Wayward Gamers.
Speaker: And your favorite podcast.
Speaker: Today we have a special surprise for you, a very important guest that I'll be talking to you today.
Speaker: That's right, it's Dan!
Speaker: It's me!
Speaker: It's me!
Speaker: I've never been here before, thanks for having me, Matt.
Speaker: I'm glad to have you.
Speaker: I got my camera fixed.
Speaker: I don't know if anybody, the people that are watching on YouTube, y'all have probably noticed that my camera has declined in quality over the past two episodes.
Speaker: Not any fucking more, I got it figured out!
Speaker: We got him in crystal clear HD.
Speaker: Now we in HDizzle, my guys.
Speaker: Viewers may notice that half of our crew is missing today.
Speaker: We actually beat Steej and Lyle in a high stakes game of Mount Your Friends.
Speaker: And we won the right to do the podcast on our own.
Speaker: But don't fret, viewers.
Speaker: They will come back.
Speaker: Well, I mean.
Speaker: Probably.
Speaker: So Matt, what are we talking about today, my friend?
Speaker: Today we are exposing our deepest, darkest secrets.
Speaker: And I know that some of you are also guilty of this, but we are finally acknowledging all of the games that we have bought but never played.
Speaker: Skeletons in the closet.
Speaker: All the skeletons are coming out.
Speaker: That's right.
Speaker: Especially the ones that are sitting in the bottom of that Steam library.
Speaker: Way down in the bottom depths of things like, let me see, Will You Snail?
Speaker: Or perhaps, let me see, perhaps... Even bigger titles like... Zero Dash K is more your speed?
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: Now, something that I have a lot of that I don't feel bad about some of these games that I haven't played them because sometimes I didn't buy
Speaker: You know how they have bundles?
Speaker: I bought a bundle.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: And some of them are good.
Speaker: Some of them are shit.
Speaker: It's like a gaming chocolate box.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: You get to try a few.
Speaker: If you want to try some of the weird ones, you can.
Speaker: If you don't ever open them, it's fine.
Speaker: You really kind of buy it for just like one game, especially with like Humble Bundle.
Speaker: I haven't bought a Humble Bundle in a long, long time.
Speaker: What is a Humble Bundle?
Speaker: Have you never seen Humble Bundle?
Speaker: I don't have the money to know what a humble bundle is.
Speaker: So, well, no, that's the perfect thing because the humble bundle is actually like, it's really, really cheap.
Speaker: You can choose the amount that you pay and there's different tiers depending on how much you actually pay.
Speaker: So like, that's wonderful.
Speaker: You can pay.
Speaker: Dollar and get like the first five games or you could pay five bucks get the next tier and there's a few more games where you think it's like 15 and then and then you get a third tier That's that's kind of how I got into a lot of gaming and and sometimes they would have some games some some pretty well-known titles in there too so
Speaker: I've heard a lot about Humble Bundles.
Speaker: I just never have gotten them.
Speaker: I've never gotten them myself.
Speaker: Any games that I've wanted, I just kind of go and find on my own in the Steam library or store or whatever and just grab them from there.
Speaker: Or wait until they go on sale.
Speaker: I've done some stuff through the sales.
Speaker: That's how I got a couple of games on here.
Speaker: A couple of these are not good.
Speaker: I want to make that very clear.
Speaker: It's definitely like that chocolate box where you bite into one and you're just like, oh, this one says it's like a chocolate truffle.
Speaker: Ew, it's Superman 64.
Speaker: Oh, gross.
Speaker: No, that's good for the memes, though.
Speaker: You play that one for the memes.
Speaker: Yeah, it's good for the memes, but not good for my palate.
Speaker: I'm just upset after I bite into something like that.
Speaker: That'd be a good stream challenge or something, or like a subscription tier.
Speaker: If you get a good one.
Speaker: If we get 100 subscribers or something, then I'll play Superman for like five hours or something.
Speaker: Here's an idea, Matt.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: What if we do the, what's that good or bad jelly bean challenge?
Speaker: Oh, the bean boozled.
Speaker: If we blindfold ourselves and choose one, whether or not it's good or bad, that's the type of game we have to play.
Speaker: A really good one or a really bad one.
Speaker: Oh, bean boozled, but with like a, yeah, like a wheel of games that we haven't played or something.
Speaker: Essentially.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: Well, that is something for another day.
Speaker: Anyway.
Speaker: Matt, would you like to go first and tell us what games that you have are in the deep archives?
Speaker: I would, and I'm going to transition from Humble Bundle to talking about these two games.
Speaker: I bought a Humble Bundle.
Speaker: I think it might have been one of the first ones that I ever bought, and it had a multitude of Batman games in it.
Speaker: Oh, cool.
Speaker: Batman games being very good, very well praised.
Speaker: You're talking about the Rocksteady ones like Arkham, like the Arkham series and all that?
Speaker: Yes, the Arkham series.
Speaker: Exactly.
Speaker: It was it was I don't actually remember the name of the one that I played, but I do know that I did not play Batman Arkham City and Batman Origins.
Speaker: Okay.
Speaker: So I don't feel too bad because I did get it in a bundle.
Speaker: At least I didn't waste a massive amount of money.
Speaker: If anything, I got my play time out of the Batman one that I played, which I should have written down exactly what that was.
Speaker: Batman Arkham Knight is really fucking cool.
Speaker: I like that one a lot.
Speaker: Was that the first one?
Speaker: It's the latest one.
Speaker: Oh, the latest one.
Speaker: Yeah, I haven't even touched that.
Speaker: This was back in like 2014-ish.
Speaker: Something like that.
Speaker: Somewhere around there, 2015.
Speaker: That might have been Arkham Asylum then.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: Arkham Asylum.
Speaker: That's what it was.
Speaker: Right.
Speaker: Anyway, that's right.
Speaker: It was Arkham Asylum.
Speaker: I've played Arkham Asylum.
Speaker: Asylum.
Speaker: I didn't finish it, but I also I haven't finished most games.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: How many games do I have on my Steam library?
Speaker: I have one hundred and fourteen.
Speaker: I know that those are probably rookie numbers.
Speaker: I'm I'm sure that they are.
Speaker: What percentage have you played, though?
Speaker: Oh, God.
Speaker: I don't know.
Speaker: That might take a minute to calculate.
Speaker: Well, I'll tell you some of the ones that I have not ever played, even though I'll try to exclude ones that I've gotten on PC that I've played in other areas.
Speaker: So, like, if I've played it on, like, a PlayStation or an Xbox or something like that, I won't count it.
Speaker: But let me see.
Speaker: I would say I would count it.
Speaker: So if you played it on another platform and then you bought it for another platform intending to play it again and you just didn't, I would count that.
Speaker: Well, then you're going to this one's definitely going to hurt.
Speaker: I'm trying to incriminate us as much as possible.
Speaker: If this is a competition to see who has wasted the most money, I'm going to tell you right now,
Speaker: I don't know if you can win.
Speaker: Probably not.
Speaker: I don't have enough games to win.
Speaker: Maybe incorporating the multi-platform things like we were talking about, you might.
Speaker: But I have 444 games in my Steam library.
Speaker: Oh, God.
Speaker: It's not good.
Speaker: Again, lots of those were humble bundles, but some of them were just...
Speaker: The sales.
Speaker: The sales are what get me.
Speaker: And that's, I want to find a good one here.
Speaker: Okay.
Speaker: All right.
Speaker: So this one isn't too bad.
Speaker: Ticket to ride.
Speaker: Oh, I've never heard of that one.
Speaker: Plus all of the DLC.
Speaker: It is a board game, but you can also play it on PC.
Speaker: So I actually I played that game.
Speaker: It was really big for a minute.
Speaker: Honestly, it was I don't remember when it was, but like when that game came out, it was like the hot new board game.
Speaker: Oh, cool.
Speaker: And it's silly.
Speaker: It just in its idea where it's just you're buying train lines and you're like connecting cities.
Speaker: That sounds like fun.
Speaker: It is fun.
Speaker: I'd have to check it out.
Speaker: I had a lot of fun with it.
Speaker: But I bought it intending to play.
Speaker: I played it with my family and I was like, I was going to play with my brother and maybe go with my mom and stuff and have something nice and wholesome for us to do instead of her killing me and Among Us, Mom.
Speaker: Don't kill me, Astromom.
Speaker: Mom, don't kill me!
Speaker: No!
Speaker: What the hell, Matt's mom?
Speaker: That was great.
Speaker: Please do it again.
Speaker: Anyway.
Speaker: Okay.
Speaker: Well, all right.
Speaker: So that was... It was Ticket to Ride plus all of the DLC, which included multiple cities, multiple countries, a bunch of European countries.
Speaker: Guns.
Speaker: Guns, yes.
Speaker: Nuclear arsenals.
Speaker: Assassinations.
Speaker: We're talking about corporate takeovers.
Speaker: That's one way to get it done, I guess.
Speaker: But big forma.
Speaker: All of that.
Speaker: It was on sale.
Speaker: I got ticket to ride plus all of the DLC for twenty six dollars and fifty eight cents.
Speaker: That's not bad.
Speaker: Not bad.
Speaker: It'll get worse.
Speaker: Oh, yeah, I know it will.
Speaker: Let me see.
Speaker: Do gifts count?
Speaker: I would say that might count double.
Speaker: Cause somebody gave you a game and you never played it.
Speaker: That's worse.
Speaker: Okay.
Speaker: I think that's worse.
Speaker: I might have you beat then.
Speaker: Did I, was it me?
Speaker: Did I gift you?
Speaker: No, no, you have a gift.
Speaker: I did give you Pogo stuck and we played it for a little bit and we all, I listened.
Speaker: I played that for as long as I intend on playing it.
Speaker: Okay.
Speaker: Um, I'll come back to it eventually.
Speaker: That'll be, that'll be what I do after, uh, after lethal company.
Speaker: Okay.
Speaker: Um,
Speaker: So the first big one, and I want to just go ahead and rip this bandaid off immediately.
Speaker: This one was gifted to me.
Speaker: I have had and purchased for myself Red Dead Redemption 2 online.
Speaker: There is a separate thing for the online mode.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: And it was like five bucks, but I've played a good amount of Red Dead 2 online.
Speaker: I believe it was for my birthday.
Speaker: I was gifted the actual Red Dead Redemption 2.
Speaker: And so if you're not aware of that.
Speaker: Like a physical copy?
Speaker: No, it's just the Steam version of it.
Speaker: Oh, wait, you played Red Dead Redemption and then somebody gifted you Red Dead Redemption 2?
Speaker: I played the online of Red Dead 2 because it's a separate game that you can buy and download from the one that has the main story.
Speaker: Somebody gifted me the full game with the main story, which is like 60 bucks.
Speaker: So that's 120 right there on the board if we're counting them double.
Speaker: You can't re-gift that, can you?
Speaker: Was it on Steam?
Speaker: It is on Steam.
Speaker: It was through Steam.
Speaker: I have yet to play it.
Speaker: A lot of people were just wanting to jump right into the online mode because they were coming off of GTA 5 online and then everybody realized that Red Dead 2 online is shit.
Speaker: Sorry, Rockstar.
Speaker: Work on GTA 6 because you've already fucked up with Red Dead 2 online.
Speaker: You can't even rob banks.
Speaker: Anywho, Matt, do you have another good one here?
Speaker: Because I'm currently at 120 if we're doubling shit.
Speaker: Yeah, if you were gifted it and you never played it.
Speaker: Sorry, you know who you are.
Speaker: As long as you could...
Speaker: As long as you could have played it.
Speaker: I could have, and I intend to play these at some point.
Speaker: I just don't have the time.
Speaker: I was looking through these, and so one of the really good things about this is this is...
Speaker: Now I have a list.
Speaker: I can go, I can look at this and I can say, I have not played these games, but I know I want to play at least some of them.
Speaker: I can pick one or two and I can start playing them soon.
Speaker: I might not.
Speaker: I probably, I, I'm, I lie to myself and tell myself that I will.
Speaker: I'm right there with you, man.
Speaker: Okay.
Speaker: Also, I have to, I have to say, Jill, I'm sorry.
Speaker: Oh boy.
Speaker: That's getting spicy.
Speaker: I told her that she's gonna need to watch this and I want to see her reaction.
Speaker: Okay.
Speaker: I got 10 virtual reality games.
Speaker: Okay.
Speaker: Have not played half of them.
Speaker: Okay.
Speaker: Okay, so that's five five not too bad VR real the real problem is the price here honestly But okay, so elite dangerous, okay?
Speaker: I I wanted I wanted to play that because I want to be you know with spaceman in space in the VR and I was gonna use my my hotas hands on throttle and stick you know Never opened it.
Speaker: It's fine.
Speaker: Moss was also in that I
Speaker: Please tell me it's just a Moss simulator.
Speaker: Yeah, honestly, Elite Dangerous is probably the most known title in there.
Speaker: Moss is a... Even though I haven't opened these games, I do know a little bit about them.
Speaker: Moss was a... It's like you're in VR, but you are playing a 3D platformer.
Speaker: So you get to see... That's crazy.
Speaker: Yeah, it's cool that conceptually it was so cool and I was just like I think I I got to get it I'll try it if anything maybe I'll just stream it and that's what that's the big thing that I was telling myself that was the lives that I'm all by this and I'll just stream it and if people like man keep going then I just never stream it's fine ain't the realest shit I've ever heard half of these fucking games I was gonna stream but I never did it and then there's some there's some other random ones that I don't remember I
Speaker: What they even are.
Speaker: There was Jam Gods.
Speaker: There was Kayak VR Mirage.
Speaker: I don't know why.
Speaker: I wanted to go kayaking in VR.
Speaker: I could just do that in real life.
Speaker: What's wrong with me?
Speaker: This man said, yo, this shit's so realistic.
Speaker: Holy shit.
Speaker: I'm glad I spent $30 on this.
Speaker: There's Super Kit to the top.
Speaker: I don't know what that was.
Speaker: I think it was like a climbing game maybe.
Speaker: I don't know.
Speaker: And then there's one that I will not say.
Speaker: How much?
Speaker: $117.45.
Speaker: Okay, so you're a little bit ahead of me.
Speaker: You're a little bit ahead of me now, which is fine.
Speaker: Okay, I got one that's gonna fucking knock your socks off, my dude.
Speaker: I got not one, but five here that are in a very similar bundle.
Speaker: And I don't know how much these are.
Speaker: And these were also gifted to me, so they're gonna count double.
Speaker: Um...
Speaker: So I got Bioshock, Bioshock Remastered, Bioshock 2, Bioshock 2 Remastered, and Bioshock Infinite.
Speaker: These were all gifted to me for either Christmas or my birthday, and I just have not gotten around to playing them as of yet.
Speaker: Have you ever played them before on other platforms?
Speaker: No, I think I may have played Bioshock one for like five minutes whenever I first got a PlayStation three.
Speaker: But this was like 10 years ago.
Speaker: Yeah, I don't remember shit about it.
Speaker: It's funny.
Speaker: That was one that I was looking at, too, that I have not opened.
Speaker: I did play it, though.
Speaker: I did play it on console, so I didn't initially include it.
Speaker: But I know we've said something since then.
Speaker: But yeah, no, I haven't actually opened it.
Speaker: I think I have two copies of it, too, which is like worse.
Speaker: Really?
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: That's great.
Speaker: Or there's like Bioshock and then one that's remastered or something.
Speaker: Got all of those guys.
Speaker: And I don't necessarily know how much all of that would come out to relatively, but Editor Matt, just put that shit up on the screen.
Speaker: Get fucked!
Speaker: Take that!
Speaker: I'm above you now.
Speaker: Maybe.
Speaker: Okay.
Speaker: All right.
Speaker: So I'm going to go for five bucks each.
Speaker: Okay.
Speaker: So here's a bigger title here.
Speaker: Okay.
Speaker: No Man's Sky.
Speaker: Oh, really?
Speaker: Mm-hmm.
Speaker: Bought it.
Speaker: I didn't buy it when it first came out.
Speaker: Thankfully, I was on the hype train for that too.
Speaker: Oh, me too.
Speaker: I was all the way on the hype train for that.
Speaker: That should look wicked.
Speaker: When it launched, I didn't have the money at the time, so I didn't pre-order.
Speaker: And then it came out and then I heard all about everything wrong that was going on with it.
Speaker: And then I just kind of I kind of I kind of waited for a while.
Speaker: Then I started hearing.
Speaker: Oh man.
Speaker: No Man's Sky.
Speaker: It's actually really good.
Speaker: They did a lot of good stuff.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: And then it went on sale and I got it for twenty nine ninety nine.
Speaker: And I've never opened it.
Speaker: Now that is a game I would love to play if you're down.
Speaker: Just like outside of the topic here if you play some fucking No Man's Sky I'm down because I love that game so the other thing so one of the reasons that I got No Man's Sky was also because I wanted to play it in VR because it does have VR support what really yes that's it from what I understand you can also you can play it Cross-platform so if I'm in VR and you're on PC we can also we can play together could I do it on Xbox I
Speaker: I don't know.
Speaker: We'll have to we'll have to take her with that.
Speaker: I understand they made that game like easy to play cross platform.
Speaker: OK.
Speaker: So it's I would say it's a high likelihood, but I might be wrong.
Speaker: The biggest the biggest reason that I imagine that that is is because one of the biggest things that they that they got slammed for early on was that they promised out the gate a fully functioning multiplayer and it was nowhere to be found in the launch.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: Yeah, they were saying like two years later and then they had orbs, little floating orbs that came out of a stupid portal that took like an hour and a half to collect all the materials for and then cut to like a year and a half later maybe and now we got multiplayer.
Speaker: So we're already three, four years in the fucking hole by the time that we got what they promised before the game came out.
Speaker: And so I imagine that they were just like, all right, you want fucking multiplayer?
Speaker: We'll give you the best goddamn multiplayer we got.
Speaker: You want to play this shit on your iPhone?
Speaker: You can play it with somebody playing it on their TI-84 calculator.
Speaker: Fuck you.
Speaker: A quick aside, actually.
Speaker: That new game, they're making a new game.
Speaker: Same guys?
Speaker: Yeah, yeah, they announced it, I think, during the Game of the Year awards.
Speaker: It was, it's not, it has no in the name again, but like, touch no hole.
Speaker: That's not it.
Speaker: That's just a very different, a very different direction they're taking with their company here.
Speaker: The vastness of space, trillions upon trillions of procedurally generated planets, an entire observable universe that is yours to explore.
Speaker: Don't touch the asshole.
Speaker: It was light, no fire.
Speaker: It was light, no fire.
Speaker: I don't think that I saw it, but I'll have to take a look into it.
Speaker: It looks...
Speaker: Ambitious.
Speaker: Yeah, I will say it looks ambitious.
Speaker: I said the same thing about Starfield.
Speaker: Yeah, Starfield.
Speaker: I said the same thing.
Speaker: I said Starfield looks really, really ambitious.
Speaker: But from what I saw, I would give Light No Fire a much better chance at being a good game than than.
Speaker: And that makes me sad because I was hype for this game, for Starfield.
Speaker: For those of you who have been following this podcast for the longest time, I was hype as shit for Starfield.
Speaker: But I have now since found out that it's not... I mean, I found out on my own.
Speaker: I found out on my own accord because I've played it a handful of times.
Speaker: It's okay.
Speaker: I commend you for that.
Speaker: It's a game.
Speaker: I commend you for going in and finding out for yourself.
Speaker: Yeah, no, it's definitely a game.
Speaker: And that's the thing.
Speaker: I mean, it's also personal preference.
Speaker: If I'm going to play a space game, I'm going to boot up No Man's Sky before I boot up Starfield.
Speaker: Like, that's just how it is.
Speaker: Like, if I want something like that,
Speaker: No Man's Sky beat Starfield in like the we procedurally generated all of this shit.
Speaker: Like, what was it in 2016?
Speaker: They beat that.
Speaker: They beat them.
Speaker: Like, yeah.
Speaker: What is it now?
Speaker: 2024, eight years ago.
Speaker: That's insane to me.
Speaker: I did want to just say really quick to the viewers out there, if you want to be commenter of the week or subscriber of the week or whatever we decided that was called.
Speaker: I think it's commenter of the week now.
Speaker: I think that's what we're calling it.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: I think I know who the commenter of the week is right here.
Speaker: Oh, we've got it already?
Speaker: Okay, cool.
Speaker: Who do we got?
Speaker: It is Austin.
Speaker: Austin.
Speaker: Known as Colors.
Speaker: I can hear Colors.
Speaker: Well, congratulations, you fuck.
Speaker: Yeah, so he said, I love this episode of the Oddly Coded podcast.
Speaker: I think I'll listen to it a second time.
Speaker: Wow.
Speaker: I just have to say thank you.
Speaker: Thank you so much.
Speaker: If nothing else for the reference, but also thanks for that watch time.
Speaker: If you want to be commenter of the week, let us know what is the most expensive gift
Speaker: gaming related thing not a game could be a console could be a piece of equipment could be an entire bundle of things that you have never used once
Speaker: Or it could be a game as well.
Speaker: Or it could be a game as well.
Speaker: It doesn't have to be.
Speaker: I like to open up that.
Speaker: I'd like to open up that that can of worms to see what people have bought because there's some weird shit out there for like gaming equipment.
Speaker: Matt, you have like a weird hand thing, don't you?
Speaker: Oh, yeah, the Ezra on keypad?
Speaker: I use this all the time, though.
Speaker: Yeah, I know that, but you're not everybody.
Speaker: That's the thing.
Speaker: Not everybody's going to put their hand into a hand and be like, yes, the macros.
Speaker: Think of all of the potentials.
Speaker: So I know, you know, we're a real big, you know, podcast.
Speaker: You know, we got millions probably of viewers all the time.
Speaker: So like Azron, if you want to sponsor me, feel free.
Speaker: I will talk up your product all the time.
Speaker: The whole reason that I got into this is because it has, I don't know if you can see it over here.
Speaker: It's got a little, it's got a little analog stick.
Speaker: Wow.
Speaker: So when I transitioned from...
Speaker: from playing on console to playing on PC, I wanted to use mouse and keyboard.
Speaker: But the movement of WASD, I had a hard time getting into that.
Speaker: And then somebody in my Discord actually mentioned that that was a thing that they were looking into.
Speaker: I looked into it and I was like, I really, really like that.
Speaker: So it's also, it's ergonomic.
Speaker: If it's in your hand, I can sit in it all day and my hand isn't going to get tired at all.
Speaker: That's cool.
Speaker: I think it's cool just because it really... I feel like it would have a lot of cool medical applications too.
Speaker: I don't know.
Speaker: I mean, it looks like something out of sci-fi that would do that, but I don't know if it does.
Speaker: Maybe.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: Maybe like therapeutic.
Speaker: Control a little robot that's doing surgery on somebody.
Speaker: Oh, yeah.
Speaker: There you go.
Speaker: There you go.
Speaker: That's just video games combining with the medical field at that point, which honestly just shouldn't happen at this point.
Speaker: See, that's my thing, because I feel like that we're integrating video game equipment into the wrong thing.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: Wait a minute, hold on, off topic.
Speaker: Have you seen the fucking Sony car yet?
Speaker: No, I've seen the Xbox fridge.
Speaker: Sony has a car now, and the dude drove it on stage using a PS5 controller.
Speaker: I assume it's electric?
Speaker: I have no idea.
Speaker: I have no fucking clue, but it was just like, the Sony car, and the guy had the fucking controller, and he was just like, hey, here we go.
Speaker: Hopefully I don't run this shit off into the first row.
Speaker: Oh my God.
Speaker: I really hope I don't hear all I can think of.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: Like running off into the first one.
Speaker: All I can think of is like all of the terrible things that somebody could do with that if they wanted to.
Speaker: Oh God.
Speaker: No.
Speaker: Cause I know it would not work the same way as like an RC car would, you know?
Speaker: Okay, so I've got a game here for you if you want to keep on with this trend.
Speaker: I've got one that was... I don't know if I bought this or if it was gifted to me.
Speaker: I'm going to ask my resident knowledge person for this.
Speaker: Peyton, did I buy or was I gifted The Elder Scrolls Online?
Speaker: Oh, God.
Speaker: Okay, so Peyton said, I think you were gifted it, which means that this is going to cost double.
Speaker: Double, yeah.
Speaker: I... I'm pretty sure that The Elder Scrolls Online because it is still, like, this ongoing thing that Bethesda and the other people that's helping with it are doing.
Speaker: Like, they're releasing, like, expansion packs pretty often.
Speaker: It's, like, constantly at 70 bucks.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: 70, 80 bucks.
Speaker: So this could be anywhere from $140 to 160, depending on how much I want to be in the lead here.
Speaker: And I do.
Speaker: Um, I want to, I want to make sure that I am the ultimate scumbag here.
Speaker: So, Matt, what do you got to compete with that, huh?
Speaker: 160?
Speaker: I don't know if I can quite beat that because I don't think I actually have anything in here that was gifted to me that I didn't ever play.
Speaker: Okay.
Speaker: But I do have one here.
Speaker: It's a bigger name.
Speaker: So, people, I might get a bit more hate for this one.
Speaker: Oh, fuck.
Speaker: And this is...
Speaker: Doom.
Speaker: Which one?
Speaker: All of them.
Speaker: What?
Speaker: Hold on.
Speaker: Oh, God.
Speaker: So, I have... Okay.
Speaker: They went on sale very recently, by the way.
Speaker: It had Doom 1, 2, 3, 64, and Doom Eternal.
Speaker: I already had the other Doom.
Speaker: 2016?
Speaker: Yeah, the 2016 Doom.
Speaker: I already had that one, and I have played that one.
Speaker: I love that game.
Speaker: It's amazing.
Speaker: And I have technically also played Doom 1, 2, and 3.
Speaker: Doom 1 was actually probably my first game.
Speaker: Yeah, that is that is what I've heard for like a lot of people, like especially it's like their first foray into like PC gaming.
Speaker: If it's not Doom, it's fucking Oregon Trail.
Speaker: Yeah, at least from what I know anyway.
Speaker: But I forgot about Oregon Trail for just a second, but just a rush of memories just came.
Speaker: Yeah, no, everybody did.
Speaker: Especially... I made the mistake of naming everybody in my wagon after my family members.
Speaker: Oh, fuck.
Speaker: And I was relatively young.
Speaker: Matt has died of dysentery.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: Might have been my first jump scare, actually.
Speaker: You know, like when it happens, it's sudden and then it's just like I don't remember the music, but I remember being really fucking jarring and sad.
Speaker: And I was.
Speaker: Yeah, some small emotional scars there.
Speaker: Maybe big ones.
Speaker: Who knows?
Speaker: But yeah, so Doom.
Speaker: I have not.
Speaker: I bought all of them and I haven't opened any of them that I got in that pack.
Speaker: I have.
Speaker: I did do the Doom 2016 and that was.
Speaker: $62.21.
Speaker: That's not bad.
Speaker: Not bad for all of them?
Speaker: That's crazy, actually.
Speaker: Yeah, like I said, it was on sale.
Speaker: And that's the thing that kind of got me into these things.
Speaker: And I was just like, I just want to have them.
Speaker: I had this idea that I was like, I'm just going to play through all of the... I'm going to record it, and I'm going to play through all of the Doom games.
Speaker: Okay.
Speaker: And I still want to.
Speaker: I just, you know...
Speaker: lifetime constraints no i understand i have them uh listen man that for those of you who have been wondering why a podcast instead of uh our individual contents because if some of y'all might not be aware all four of us used to do shit like singularly um yeah a lot more often at least yeah um especially during lockdown
Speaker: Yeah, especially during lockdown when we had all the time in the fucking world.
Speaker: But now that things have kind of opened themselves back up, this is the best we got if we want to keep making stuff for now.
Speaker: We're currently working on some stuff to be, at least I am currently working on some stuff to be able to get back into it, but that is neither here nor there.
Speaker: I've got one for you.
Speaker: Hit me.
Speaker: And I don't feel bad about this one, because fuck these games.
Speaker: As a guy that likes horror games, fuck Outlast 1, 2, and Whistleblower.
Speaker: Not because they're bad games.
Speaker: They are not bad games whatsoever, by any stretch of the imagination.
Speaker: As a horror game, they do their job.
Speaker: As a cool story, they do okay.
Speaker: I don't like feeling like there's a dude with a chainsaw on the other end of my door after I'm finished playing these games.
Speaker: Because I always do.
Speaker: Fuck that.
Speaker: I'm okay.
Speaker: It happens with any horror, though, you know?
Speaker: I've played Outlast 1 and Whistleblower.
Speaker: No, I've never played Whistleblower.
Speaker: It's technically a DLC kind of like add-on to Outlast 1, but it's a separate purchase.
Speaker: The biggest one that I have yet to play, and it was primarily because my computer couldn't even handle it, was Outlast 2.
Speaker: Hmm.
Speaker: Cause at the time, I still had my shit computer before I built the one that I'm running with right now.
Speaker: And back whenever I bought it, it was like brand new kind of game.
Speaker: So this would have been like 60 bucks.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: Dang.
Speaker: Add that to the tally.
Speaker: What do you got?
Speaker: So this one I do feel a little bit bad about because I bought these.
Speaker: These are some party games that I bought that I have never opened.
Speaker: I have played them, but on other, you know, at other people's houses.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: But so this is Jackbox Party Packs 4, 5 and 7.
Speaker: Oh, no.
Speaker: I have never opened them.
Speaker: Aren't those like 40 bucks a piece?
Speaker: Did get them on sale, though.
Speaker: So total was $48.47.
Speaker: Okay, not bad.
Speaker: Not bad.
Speaker: Yeah, not too bad.
Speaker: I am struggling to...
Speaker: I'm struggling to get shit on sale myself.
Speaker: I just get it when I want it, and that's a stupid way to purchase things.
Speaker: At least from what I've learned.
Speaker: Let me see.
Speaker: I've got Shadow Warrior here.
Speaker: I don't know what the hell that is.
Speaker: It looks really cool.
Speaker: I should probably play that.
Speaker: I have Moonbase Alpha.
Speaker: Have you ever heard of that one?
Speaker: Nope.
Speaker: It's you're just on the moon with a bunch of friends and it's the only way that you can communicate is through the chat, but you'll have a text-to-speech voice be like, John Madden.
Speaker: Football.
Speaker: I'll have to send you the video for it.
Speaker: Sorry, you were talking about being on the moon and I just remembered a game that might put me in the lead.
Speaker: Oh, God.
Speaker: Because it was gifted to me.
Speaker: Oh, God.
Speaker: Is it the big reveal?
Speaker: Oh, no.
Speaker: Oh, see.
Speaker: Yeah, I see.
Speaker: It wouldn't have been in here.
Speaker: Yeah, no, I've never opened it.
Speaker: It's Astroneers.
Speaker: Astroneers?
Speaker: Yep.
Speaker: That's surprising.
Speaker: Yep.
Speaker: I know.
Speaker: It seems right up my alley.
Speaker: I should have played it.
Speaker: Right now, it is...
Speaker: It is on, it's $30.
Speaker: Okay.
Speaker: So that'll count for $60.
Speaker: $60.
Speaker: Okay.
Speaker: One that I really regret not playing because I loved the first one.
Speaker: I played the first one to completion, but I have not played the second one yet.
Speaker: Subnautica Below Zero.
Speaker: It's the sequel one.
Speaker: And I'm really bummed that I have yet to play it because it looked fucking wicked.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: I bought Subnautica and I did play it for a while.
Speaker: Never finished it.
Speaker: I don't think I bought Subnautica Below Zero because I knew I wouldn't.
Speaker: So... At least I had a little bit of forethought with that one.
Speaker: No, for sure.
Speaker: So...
Speaker: I'll tell you this.
Speaker: There is one game here that it probably shouldn't count, but because I've played 15 minutes of it, but I wanted to bring it to your attention because I'm going to be a thousand percent.
Speaker: I fucking wish I hadn't.
Speaker: I wish I hadn't played 15 minutes of this.
Speaker: And Steej, whenever he gets back, if he does...
Speaker: If Steej gets back, he'll want to regale his side of the story as well.
Speaker: I found this game on, I think it was free.
Speaker: I think it was either free or like a couple of bucks or something, but it's called Cockroach Simulator.
Speaker: Have I ever told you about that game?
Speaker: No.
Speaker: Okay.
Speaker: No, I have a similar one though.
Speaker: So let me get through this real quick.
Speaker: So Cockroach Simulator is terrible.
Speaker: We went on there and Steej and I got into the multiplayer section.
Speaker: And the servers were still open.
Speaker: We were the only two people playing that game.
Speaker: Out of anybody that could have been playing that game, I feel so bad for the developer because it really seems like a lot of fun.
Speaker: You play as a human or you play as a cockroach.
Speaker: And the cockroach's job is to not get killed by the human.
Speaker: The human's job, if the human character works, which in Steege's experience, he did not.
Speaker: He just kind of was frozen in one place while the cockroach kind of danced around and did its own thing.
Speaker: Honestly, it sounds like a really cool concept for a game.
Speaker: It could be pretty fun.
Speaker: It seemed like a ton of fun.
Speaker: It just didn't work, and Steej and I were the only two people that were online to play it.
Speaker: Just period.
Speaker: And I wish I hadn't played 15 minutes of this.
Speaker: I'm gonna tell you guys about a little just a couple a couple more and we will close out Rock simulator you said cockroach simulator the rock simulator simulator That I think that actually became like a minorly viral thing where you started seeing people playing that game So it's it's lit.
Speaker: It's there is not a game.
Speaker: It is just you are now looking at a rock and
Speaker: in a 3D environment.
Speaker: That's all that game is.
Speaker: It is $1.99 and I paid every penny.
Speaker: Yo, it's got a sequel.
Speaker: It's got a pass.
Speaker: It has a pass for cosmetics.
Speaker: Wait, cosmetics?
Speaker: $3.99 for like a massive pack of different cosmetics for your rock.
Speaker: Holy shit.
Speaker: This one is one that I have on Xbox that I literally do not remember buying.
Speaker: I went through my history.
Speaker: I didn't refund it.
Speaker: I didn't I didn't do anything with it I don't remember even buying it, but it's I paid $59 and 99 cents for Call of Duty Black Ops 3 and I never opened it I Do want to I do want to point out to the audience.
Speaker: I was just looking up rock simulator to this shit's multiplayer
Speaker: I'm so happy about that.
Speaker: And it's also, I think it's also going to get a pack because it said, um, there's some very recent updates.
Speaker: So I'm, I'm pretty happy about that.
Speaker: I'm going to have to look into this.
Speaker: Jesus Christ.
Speaker: Do you want to play Rock Simulator 2 with me?
Speaker: No.
Speaker: Why not?
Speaker: Absolutely not.
Speaker: I do not want to.
Speaker: All right, fine.
Speaker: Fine, I'll play it on my own.
Speaker: I would rather go play Lethal Company and have fun.
Speaker: I'd rather go play the original.
Speaker: No, I understand.
Speaker: Yeah, I'd rather play the original.
Speaker: I mean, I've already got it.
Speaker: I've already got it.
Speaker: I might as well play it.
Speaker: Alright, so I'll hit you with a few more.
Speaker: Age of Empires 3.
Speaker: Never played it.
Speaker: I might have played it way, way back in the day, but I didn't.
Speaker: It was in a bundle.
Speaker: I did get all of the DLC plus Age of Empires 2, which I did play.
Speaker: That ended up being $44.96.
Speaker: I don't know how much we would take off for me actually playing Age of Empires 2.
Speaker: I don't want to take off, Brittany, just because it's more fun that way.
Speaker: Yeah, Bully Scholarship Edition.
Speaker: I bought that.
Speaker: Really?
Speaker: I had already played it, and I had pretty much completed it back in the day on console, but I bought it again for $3.74.
Speaker: Okay.
Speaker: I never opened it.
Speaker: Titanfall Deluxe Edition.
Speaker: That was $4.99.
Speaker: Man, I played that game when it first came out.
Speaker: That shit was wicked.
Speaker: The first Titanfall?
Speaker: Yes, I loved that.
Speaker: The first one?
Speaker: The second one was okay.
Speaker: Okay.
Speaker: So it was it came out in March of 2014 and I bought it in November 2015.
Speaker: Okay for four dollars and ninety nine cents that game was dead by the time I got there.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: Yeah it did die really doesn't mean it wasn't cool.
Speaker: I love the concept which is also why I bought Titanfall 2 when it was on sale for $3.17 great deal great game never played it I I don't know how I can actually say there's a great game But I've heard that it's a really really good game as far you know like with the campaign it seemed like it was really compelling like you get a You develop a relationship with your robot guy.
Speaker: He'll he'll throw you really far if you want.
Speaker: It's it's just a nice thing It's a it's cool
Speaker: I feel really bad for a couple of these games because they die so fast.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: One of them that I don't regret playing, but I really wish it would have done more with what it had.
Speaker: And you know this one very well.
Speaker: Knockout City.
Speaker: Oh.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: I played a ton of Knockout City whenever it first came out, and then it just kind of like that.
Speaker: It died.
Speaker: I did a whole video on it.
Speaker: I had you make the thumbnail for it.
Speaker: Oh, yeah.
Speaker: I really enjoyed making that video, and I really enjoyed playing that game.
Speaker: I still stand by my statement on that where it was a...
Speaker: It was a really innovative game where especially in a world of nothing but like first person shooters.
Speaker: I mean, we do have like indie games and stuff, but like when you come out with like a multiplayer dodgeball game and you make it fun and engaging and somehow differentiate from a bunch of other games that are like that.
Speaker: Yeah, it was a really cool style, and for some reason it just died.
Speaker: It never caught on.
Speaker: Never caught on with people.
Speaker: I will say, after I made that video, I don't think I ever played it again.
Speaker: I don't know why, though.
Speaker: I wish I did.
Speaker: I wish I got more people together to play it.
Speaker: I get that.
Speaker: I wish I put a little more effort into getting more people into it, considering all the people that were already playing it.
Speaker: There will be others.
Speaker: I feel like that that is...
Speaker: I feel like that that is something that a lot of games could do with nowadays is just like try to have that word of mouth because I feel like that they were really relying on like the marketing that they already had.
Speaker: And not a lot of other people were telling their friends about it.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: I feel like that also it was Steve that actually told me about it.
Speaker: It was kind of really easy to get really good at it.
Speaker: And by the time that you're a newbie on it, people are already just kicking ass.
Speaker: That is a problem with multiplayer games.
Speaker: That was a problem I had with Apex Legends.
Speaker: Like when it first came out, I popped on there.
Speaker: I was just I was slaying noobs is right out the gate.
Speaker: You know, I'd played enough Halo.
Speaker: I could do this.
Speaker: No, for sure.
Speaker: Yeah, no, I can see how that would be a problem with Dodgeball Simulator.
Speaker: But I think I think the I'm going to see if I can't get me one last one that is going to be it's going to be the icing on the cake.
Speaker: OK.
Speaker: I don't know if a lot of people know about this, but it's one of my it looked dope as hell.
Speaker: Mm hmm.
Speaker: But I just never have played it because I think it ran like shit on my PC.
Speaker: It's a game called Undefeated.
Speaker: Never heard of it.
Speaker: Where you play as essentially this Superman, God with powers kind of dude.
Speaker: He's just in a black V-neck shirt and some pants.
Speaker: And...
Speaker: And he goes around and he fucking, he's a superhero, I guess.
Speaker: How did you find this game?
Speaker: I found it off a TikTok, my dude.
Speaker: It looks dope as hell.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: But it was like five bucks.
Speaker: And how can you beat that?
Speaker: It looks cool.
Speaker: But I just never got around to playing it.
Speaker: I need to play this game because... That sounds like the one that you need to actually do.
Speaker: Your next game, when you sit down to play, you're not going to sit down to play Overwatch with your friends.
Speaker: You're going to sit in the chat and you're going to talk to them about that game that you're playing.
Speaker: I'm going to talk to them about Undefeated.
Speaker: And you're going to distract them and do not stop talking.
Speaker: Whatever you do.
Speaker: And how it has a sequel coming out called Undefeated Genesis, which I'm actually really excited about this now.
Speaker: Okay, cool.
Speaker: I didn't know you could make a sequel to Undefeated.
Speaker: All right.
Speaker: Undefeated 2.
Speaker: I do have one game that I really want to talk about and 20 more that I really also want to talk about.
Speaker: Okay, cool.
Speaker: So I'm going to end with probably the worst one.
Speaker: Oh, God.
Speaker: First off, Crab Game.
Speaker: It was free.
Speaker: Crab game?
Speaker: Crab game.
Speaker: It was squid game, but crab game.
Speaker: Oh, understood.
Speaker: But an actual video game.
Speaker: Anyway, that was $0, but I never opened it.
Speaker: I actually downloaded it and everything, and I have it in my library, but I just didn't open it.
Speaker: It's fine.
Speaker: It's fine.
Speaker: Super Space Pug.
Speaker: I paid $1.05 for that, and I also paid about $50 worth of Space Poop, the emote.
Speaker: Because I was trying to corner the market.
Speaker: It's not a good idea.
Speaker: Don't do it It's I'm pretty sure that's literally just a way for is that that ship was about yeah that it was I'm pretty sure that the steam marketplace is really just people laundering money That's the only thing that makes sense to me because they're not making money by doing what they're doing Get on it
Speaker: Assassin's Creed Syndicate.
Speaker: I don't know how much that was.
Speaker: Never opened it, never played it.
Speaker: I bought it at some point.
Speaker: I can understand that because after you beat the story, there's not much to it.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: Honey Pop 2 Double Date.
Speaker: I never played it.
Speaker: There are hours in here, but I never actually touched it.
Speaker: That was all Jill.
Speaker: Okay.
Speaker: Yeah, yeah, no.
Speaker: I did play Honey Pop 1.
Speaker: I did play the first one.
Speaker: That was fun.
Speaker: I really enjoyed it.
Speaker: I'll bet you did.
Speaker: Yeah, honey cam studio same same thing that was all Jill by the way I do want to say about 80% of the hours I have logged in Skyrim are all actually Jill's and I have 672 and a half.
Speaker: Yeah, that sounds right in that and most of that is Jill.
Speaker: I'd also like to point out that those are rookie numbers my guy.
Speaker: I know I know.
Speaker: Middle Earth Shadow of Mordor.
Speaker: Well, I think we had some on a different... Anyway, it's fine.
Speaker: Middle Earth Shadow of Mordor, the game of the year edition, $7.49.
Speaker: And the final one that I will hit you with is a game.
Speaker: It was the first purchase I ever made on Steam.
Speaker: Oh, damn.
Speaker: and I thought it looked really cool.
Speaker: It looked really artsy.
Speaker: It was kind of an indie game.
Speaker: It had a good story.
Speaker: It was single player.
Speaker: It was called Tiny and Big, Grandpa's Leftovers.
Speaker: I don't think anybody has ever actually, I don't know if anybody's heard of that game.
Speaker: Grandpa's Leftovers?
Speaker: Yeah, but it was literally the first game I ever purchased on Steam.
Speaker: That was in 2014, and I've never opened it.
Speaker: I paid 99 cents for that.
Speaker: Okay, well, the first thing that I type in whenever I look up Grandpa's before I typed in Leftovers, the first option was Grandpa's Ashes.
Speaker: And... We really need to make a compilation of every time we Google something and it goes horribly.
Speaker: Like, that has... It has happened so many times.
Speaker: Okay, well, I'll have to work on that then.
Speaker: That seems like fun.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: Okay.
Speaker: That's about it.
Speaker: I've got a few more, but I'm not going to, I think we're, uh,
Speaker: Well, Matt, how much money are you at right now?
Speaker: Put it up on the screen if you don't know.
Speaker: Here's my total and here is Dan's total.

Speaker: Gifts count double.
Speaker: We have a commenter of the week and commenter of the month.
Speaker: The commenter of the month will be revealed at the end of January.

Speaker: Give me your phone number.
Speaker: I'll give you a call.
Speaker: It'll be fine.
Speaker: Show Matt your hours in the Hoonie Pop collection and he'll try to compare it to his own.
Speaker: Anyway, Matt, please get us the fuck out of here.
Speaker: Okay, bye.
Speaker: Are we actually going to end it there?
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: Welcome to the Alicotoc Podcast.
Speaker: We're here now.
Speaker: Jesus Christ.
Speaker: I really want to keep that in.
Speaker: Please put that somewhere.
Speaker: It'll go at the end.
Speaker: That may have said...
