Thanks so much for joining us again not a prominent since we've had you on the. 00;02;15;20 - 00;02;16;00 Speaker 3 Show. 00;02;16;27 - 00;02;18;16 Speaker 1 In the past today I'm just like. 00;02;18;16 - 00;02;22;10 Speaker 3 So hung up using and head head from the. 00;02;22;23 - 00;02;25;02 Speaker 4 Last time we were talking What were we talking about last time? 00;02;26;08 - 00;02;27;01 Speaker 3 That was really funny. 00;02;27;14 - 00;02;28;17 Speaker 4 I don't remember, but I think it's. 00;02;28;18 - 00;02;30;00 Speaker 2 Similar every time you're on the show. 00;02;30;18 - 00;02;34;04 Speaker 4 The next year, dude, Right? Is the next year, 2023. 00;02;34;04 - 00;02;35;05 Speaker 3 The game is going to be like game. 00;02;35;05 - 00;02;35;19 Speaker 2 Of the year. 00;02;36;10 - 00;02;57;07 Speaker 4 Okay. Although before we get started, I do. I do. I do have one question that's just going to blow. You probably make it so you're not going to like me anymore. I've heard we've put on No, no. We've had like talks and conversations like on the Discord or whatever. But what I haven't heard lately from you, particularly cardio, is how you do it in a crisis format. 00;02;57;07 - 00;02;59;10 Speaker 4 You've been pretty busy. I know. This is the thing. What's going. 00;02;59;10 - 00;03;01;06 Speaker 5 On? Is this like, it's our subject? 00;03;01;20 - 00;03;08;08 Speaker 2 Oh, yeah, it is a sore subject because GameStop and like, the lowest part of my testicles. 00;03;08;24 - 00;03;12;28 Speaker 3 Oh, no. What specifically? I this is. This is actually. 00;03;12;28 - 00;03;32;01 Speaker 2 Really fucked up. But the employee there took my preorder on three different games and put the money, basically stole my money and I have no way I don't keep my like, I mean, I'm ignorant. I didn't keep my receipts because I'm in the mindset of like, okay, they got the shit in the computer system, right? Every million years. 00;03;32;01 - 00;03;49;19 Speaker 2 What I think that some little kid thought he was like, you know, savvy enough to pull off some shit like this. But yeah. So my preorders for tactics Ogre Pharmacy, crazy score and Harry Potter were all placed in the willy nilly ether of nowhere. And I just found it out the other day when I went in to go pick up five ounces. 00;03;49;19 - 00;04;06;01 Speaker 2 So I Charlie and I've already talked about it and we both and my girlfriend's in town. He had a bunch of stuff going on, so we haven't started it yet. I know that we've been talking all kinds of shit, but we're he and I had a gentlemen's agreement that we weren't going to use our schedules as, like, leverage to fuck each other over in the game. 00;04;06;01 - 00;04;07;08 Speaker 2 The bad stuff. 00;04;07;23 - 00;04;08;28 Speaker 3 So we got all this. 00;04;08;28 - 00;04;28;08 Speaker 2 Is on roundabout. This is all a roundabout way of me making for it's these are preemptive excuses for whatever reason that I can't use me as a freak of nature. Like I haven't even got a war yet. And he's like making videos about how to zero the plot of the game. Like, I'm fully convinced that that we are seeing the real version of Charlie. 00;04;28;14 - 00;04;44;17 Speaker 2 But Charlie is like definitely written some I approach machine learning program to like play the games for himself so that he can plot games faster and be a good husband and be a good dog dad and be Ryan Reynolds, you know, like personal assistant. 00;04;44;18 - 00;04;46;04 Speaker 5 Oh boy. 00;04;46;04 - 00;04;46;22 Speaker 3 Oh man. 00;04;46;24 - 00;04;55;00 Speaker 2 This man's got more shit going on than I do. I'm like, Fuck, I got like, nothing going on. I can't plot in my game even if I put my full attention on it because I'll be like, we'll talk. 00;04;55;19 - 00;04;58;19 Speaker 3 I yeah, well. 00;04;58;28 - 00;05;03;01 Speaker 1 I really should have gotten the digital edition. And if you go, Yes. 00;05;03;12 - 00;05;06;18 Speaker 2 Well, here we go. You know what I feel like I am? I feel. 00;05;06;18 - 00;05;08;06 Speaker 3 Like this this is the the. 00;05;08;06 - 00;05;16;21 Speaker 2 Lift. This was the lift off that like, set me off in the department. And you guys know, I feel like Hooch has already been down this road me before where I'm like. 00;05;16;21 - 00;05;20;21 Speaker 3 Man, I just like, I'm just one of those old school people and like, I want to, like, go to the store and I. 00;05;20;21 - 00;05;27;20 Speaker 2 Want to look and I want to hold it in my hands. I still am that way, but like, that's fine. I can't support GameStop anymore. Like, I feel bad. 00;05;28;13 - 00;05;33;09 Speaker 5 Too, because I'm whole, I'm holding to the moon, baby. That's all I got is for game sucks. 00;05;33;09 - 00;05;53;05 Speaker 2 It's different. I don't blame anybody. It's actually what the problem is, is that it's it's an individual store by store basis. So like the GM of the store had every, every every chance to refund my $15 and he chose not to which is a really fucking petty mistake to make in customer service. Like, you know, your employee, you fired the guy. 00;05;53;17 - 00;05;54;21 Speaker 3 You by telling. 00;05;54;21 - 00;06;15;12 Speaker 2 Me you fired the guy because he was doing that. You admitted it. You're accepting blame for I so like in the legal area, you literally just ousted yourself for taking responsibility for it, right? So, like, if I were a petty dick, I could be like, let me take the small claims court, but I really can't because GameStop. So whatever I'm going to bring about it, it's still like that's how petty it is. 00;06;15;12 - 00;06;28;10 Speaker 2 It's like I spend probably five, 600, $700 a year. They're buying random games and I'm not going to do anything. I'm going to I'm going to buy them from, I don't know, Amazon. I wish to God it's. 00;06;28;16 - 00;06;29;05 Speaker 1 What I used to do. 00;06;29;09 - 00;06;40;06 Speaker 2 I wish to God there were a store in my local city that I could go to and give them my business, but I don't have one. That's why I go to GameStop. But anyways, we're talking with the game of the year and some phenomenal parents. They come out this year. 00;06;40;06 - 00;06;55;06 Speaker 1 I know before we do that, I want to show you a quick tip, though, because I found something out that you might like. Let me do. Let me show you something real quick. So you have this right. If you buy this home right here, it actually. 00;06;55;27 - 00;07;00;06 Speaker 3 Why are you playing the game already? Is it actually why are you playing the game? 00;07;00;06 - 00;07;01;17 Speaker 1 All right. In pro for you right there. 00;07;02;17 - 00;07;11;25 Speaker 3 Why are you playing what we would do for Fort? Wait, This guy is playing in the game. He's going to wait.

I thought that was a good way to see. 00;10;19;14 - 00;10;21;29 Speaker 2 I guess you could technically put that game in your top ten now. 00;10;23;04 - 00;10;31;01 Speaker 1 And it's almost in my top ten. So it's like, But anyway, for those who have not heard this before, well, first off, before we get to. 00;10;31;09 - 00;10;32;19 Speaker 3 The wasn't here, this dude just. 00;10;32;19 - 00;10;45;04 Speaker 2 Platinum fuck Final Fantasy crisis caught right in front of our eyes.

So don't feel bad. 00;10;50;12 - 00;10;55;04 Speaker 3 Whoa, whoa. With be honest here, if this came to League of Legends in. 00;10;55;05 - 00;11;02;13 Speaker 2 Warcraft, I would mop the floor with all of you. That's all I'm saying. Those are the only two games that I can claim any goodness at because I have addiction problems. 00;11;02;13 - 00;11;07;22 Speaker 3 Okay, But it's the site that's fine. But you stepped in it. You stepped into frickin Charlie's. 00;11;07;22 - 00;11;08;12 Speaker 4 World was like. 00;11;09;16 - 00;11;10;24 Speaker 3 You lose this, took to. 00;11;10;24 - 00;11;13;29 Speaker 4 Mike Tyson and punched him in the face and expected nothing to happen. 00;11;13;29 - 00;11;25;06 Speaker 2 Yeah, that's a good point. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's. That's like that, you know? What did he say? He's like everybody. Everybody's tough until they get slapped in the mouth or something like that. Yeah, they're tough on social media. I think it's letting them out too. 00;11;25;07 - 00;11;26;07 Speaker 4 Yeah, exactly. 00;11;27;14 - 00;11;29;03 Speaker 1 Yeah, It took me three days. 00;11;29;03 - 00;11;31;13 Speaker 2 I think I just got slapped in the mouth metaphorically. 00;11;31;13 - 00;11;36;18 Speaker 1 It's fun.

Okay. I was okay. So when Elden Ring happened, Elden Ring was my own my own issue, okay? Because I was playing World of Warcraft like a mongoloid instead of actually playing Elden Ring. Okay, So that one I paid for without even thinking twice about it. Okay, Final Fantasy, Stranger of Paradise. We talked about doing it together, and then one day he just goes and does it by himself. 00;14;02;09 - 00;14;04;12 Speaker 3 Okay. Yeah. And then. And then I have to pay. 00;14;04;12 - 00;14;07;04 Speaker 2 Him for the game because I technically lost the race. Okay. 00;14;07;16 - 00;14;10;02 Speaker 3 Then. Then this guy. 00;14;10;02 - 00;14;11;03 Speaker 2 Reaches out to me like. 00;14;11;05 - 00;14;14;24 Speaker 3 Oh, hey, I'm busy. Let's. Let's wait till after Christmas. 00;14;16;04 - 00;14;16;12 Speaker 2 You know. 00;14;16;20 - 00;14;20;25 Speaker 5 I give this man, this man some. 00;14;21;11 - 00;14;21;19 Speaker 3 Something. 00;14;21;20 - 00;14;24;05 Speaker 5 The devil's lettuce. Well, okay, whatever. Okay, now. 00;14;24;09 - 00;14;25;18 Speaker 2 I'll just drop. 00;14;25;18 - 00;14;29;00 Speaker 5 The badge. Really funny. No, that was never not dropped a bit. 00;14;29;00 - 00;14;31;28 Speaker 2 Yeah, that, that makes for some good for the for the tick tock. 00;14;33;01 - 00;14;33;16 Speaker 1 Tick tock. 00;14;33;16 - 00;14;34;13 Speaker 3 That I guess. Good. 00;14;34;28 - 00;14;36;22 Speaker 2 Actually, we lose more followers from that. 00;14;37;12 - 00;14;37;21 Speaker 1 Yeah. 00;14;37;24 - 00;14;40;07 Speaker 3 That's while that happens there. 00;14;40;07 - 00;14;44;14 Speaker 1 I really care. Anyway. So for those who have not getting back into the podcast. 00;14;44;14 - 00;14;45;01 Speaker 2 Yes. Yes. 00;14;45;03 - 00;15;10;09 Speaker 1 Aren't excited. Those who have not listened to our game the year episodes before. So we have a little thing that we do. So we have we list our top ten games of the year of what we've either played or watched or have viewed because, you know, we're all busy individuals. We don't necessarily get a chance to watch or play ten games, so we typically do ten through six is our you know, it's our we just go through list, whatever, you know, from 10th to sixth. 00;15;10;17 - 00;15;31;05 Speaker 1 Before we do that, we go through our honorable mention. So we have honorable mentions or or flops. You guys have the year. We certainly just go through and just chat about this real quick. So I'll real quick, I'll let Hutch introduce himself for those who don't know which is on the podcast before, because I was just 20 minutes of intros and ramblings. 00;15;31;27 - 00;15;32;23 Speaker 1 So yeah. What else? 00;15;32;23 - 00;15;33;03 Speaker 3 What else? 00;15;33;09 - 00;15;34;04 Speaker 5 What else? What we do. 00;15;34;13 - 00;15;43;12 Speaker 2 Oh, come on, man. That's that's what the people are here for. They don't care about. What we have is truly games. They just really hear me put my foot in my mouth and how good you are at platinum games, Dick. 00;15;43;25 - 00;15;44;24 Speaker 5 Is it, is it that is. 00;15;44;24 - 00;15;47;06 Speaker 3 Does to little economy, little. 00;15;47;06 - 00;15;51;22 Speaker 4 Column B? I mean, we're here for the info but stay for the shenanigans. 00;15;52;09 - 00;15;53;14 Speaker 3 Yeah, exactly. It's a perfect. 00;15;54;06 - 00;15;55;20 Speaker 2 Day to come out and then. 00;15;55;20 - 00;15;57;06 Speaker 3 Just give me platinum. 00;15;57;21 - 00;16;00;02 Speaker 2 Every guy who I know you don't like football, you know? 00;16;00;05 - 00;16;03;09 Speaker 3 Oh, no, I do to I don't even like. 00;16;03;17 - 00;16;05;04 Speaker 1 I don't even like sports games. I'll do it. 00;16;05;18 - 00;16;10;24 Speaker 2 I, you know, part of me wants to throw Hogwarts legacy out there. But then again, like, do I really want to do that? 00;16;10;24 - 00;16;11;11 Speaker 1 Do you want to. 00;16;11;29 - 00;16;12;22 Speaker 3 Even consider. 00;16;13;08 - 00;16;19;04 Speaker 2 Howard's legacy? I already know I will 80 days out on that game, so that's probably not a good idea, dude. 00;16;19;08 - 00;16;23;12 Speaker 3 Well, I was frickin practicing for this on my PSP and everyone would know. 00;16;23;17 - 00;16;26;01 Speaker 5 Like I said, I only through the. 00;16;26;01 - 00;16;31;00 Speaker 2 Whole game was just so I would have the fucking advantage. And it meant nothing. It meant nothing. 00;16;31;00 - 00;16;31;07 Speaker 3 No. 00;16;31;22 - 00;16;38;12 Speaker 1 It's not that. No. So I don't know if you heard you if you get it, if you can get it in under, under 50 hours you'll win. 00;16;38;12 - 00;16;43;18 Speaker 3 It doesn't matter. You can still win. You can still win. The pressure's under 50 points. 00;16;43;18 - 00;16;51;20 Speaker 2 Does that mean that I have to like I have to, like under the radar, play the game until I beat it under until I platinum the game under 50 hours. 00;16;52;13 - 00;16;53;24 Speaker 1 Yeah, you played it. You're whatever you want. 00;16;54;14 - 00;16;54;24 Speaker 3 Mm hmm. 00;16;55;13 - 00;16;57;18 Speaker 4 It's as long as it takes under 50 hours of your 50. 00;16;57;18 - 00;16;59;14 Speaker 3 And there you go. I'll give you so used 5 minutes, you. 00;16;59;14 - 00;17;04;21 Speaker 4 Still have the opportunity to come back in and, you know, hoist the trophy, you know, raised it. Well. 00;17;05;16 - 00;17;08;23 Speaker 1 That's the only fair thing I could have done for pulling this out from underneath. Yeah, but. 00;17;10;16 - 00;17;11;28 Speaker 3 Okay, really cool. 00;17;12;10 - 00;17;17;20 Speaker 2 Best video games I got. I got my. I got my top ten, my honorable mentions and my biggest fan of the year. 00;17;18;15 - 00;17;19;06 Speaker 1 Who just got in trouble. 00;17;19;08 - 00;17;22;23 Speaker 3 Because girl intro. So I have A.D.D. I'm. 00;17;22;23 - 00;17;28;12 Speaker 2 Still if y'all can't tell, I'm still Sophia's. How about this whole thing? So excuse me. I know, I know. 00;17;28;12 - 00;17;31;07 Speaker 4 My God, it's all good. It's all good. Hilarious. 00;17;31;07 - 00;17;33;12 Speaker 3 Like me, To be honest. 00;17;34;02 - 00;17;54;12 Speaker 4 No, to be honest, there isn't a whole lot to say, because as you mentioned before, we started formally of the in our podcast, I have since since decided to step away from doing that. Really what it boils down to just real quick was it became I was doing games and movies and stuff more for the pod and it was taking the like the fun out of those things. 00;17;54;22 - 00;18;09;17 Speaker 4 And also like I didn't yeah, I mean, I didn't, it wasn't helping because they would start talking about trailers and I wasn't watching purposely, right? So I'm coming into this just, you know, totally messing up the vibe. So I'm like, you know what, guys? I would take a step back if you guys need me for anything like one shots or whatever, bring me in. 00;18;09;17 - 00;18;28;20 Speaker 4 Not a big deal. But no, still, I mean, I still say, you know, those guys are were great to have fun with. You know, it's now down to mugging in Hebrew because you burger stepped out long before but like it was still it's a lot of fun. I still like listen to him talk I'm still on the discord over there you know, in our pod or what the discord thing is. 00;18;28;20 - 00;18;29;19 Speaker 4 I never could remember that. 00;18;30;09 - 00;18;31;06 Speaker 3 For the most part. 00;18;31;12 - 00;18;32;07 Speaker 2 Really, isn't it? 00;18;32;17 - 00;18;40;12 Speaker 4 I know, I know. I never remember what it. But for the most part, I've just been, you know, hanging out, doing my dad thing, you know, learning how to be a game designer and all that other stuff. 00;18;40;12 - 00;18;41;12 Speaker 3 So fun. 00;18;42;20 - 00;18;46;29 Speaker 5 Well, we love having you. It's not the first, not the last. We're big fans. So thanks for Hey. 00;18;47;10 - 00;18;52;08 Speaker 2 It's the last show ever. So I like until I can platinum a game. I don't think I belong here. 00;18;52;08 - 00;19;00;27 Speaker 5 Chefs out out here like, you know, he's like. He's like sitting there, like, sad, kind of like, maybe this isn't for me. 00;19;00;27 - 00;19;01;23 Speaker 4 It's like, I can't believe in. 00;19;02;27 - 00;19;03;16 Speaker 3 Second guess. 00;19;04;03 - 00;19;05;04 Speaker 2 My life decisions. 00;19;05;18 - 00;19;06;00 Speaker 3 Like, yeah. 00;19;06;03 - 00;19;13;16 Speaker 4 I look forward to hanging with you guys and, you know, catching the pod when I, when I can. You can start so damn early though. So on the west. 00;19;13;16 - 00;19;14;17 Speaker 5 Yeah, right, exactly. 00;19;15;28 - 00;19;19;17 Speaker 1 Yeah. It's tough eating a sandwich because I'm just need some greasy. 00;19;19;23 - 00;19;23;02 Speaker 2 He's hung over so he was up all night playing this. 00;19;23;09 - 00;19;25;17 Speaker 3 You see me? Yeah, exactly like that. 00;19;25;17 - 00;19;30;06 Speaker 4 So that's what he was doing. He wasn't necessarily drinking or having a party or whatever. He was at the party on the corner. He was. 00;19;30;06 - 00;19;30;18 Speaker 3 Honestly. 00;19;31;05 - 00;19;33;29 Speaker 2 Himself last night. Was the man in the box like, Yeah, babe. 00;19;34;05 - 00;19;40;02 Speaker 3 I want it again. I'm the best. I'm so close. 00;19;40;02 - 00;19;42;20 Speaker 4 Finish your outfit. Go. 00;19;42;20 - 00;19;44;11 Speaker 3 It was. It was. 00;19;44;11 - 00;19;46;28 Speaker 2 That was it was any did Amanda play any part in this? 00;19;47;19 - 00;19;47;28 Speaker 3 No. 00;19;48;05 - 00;19;49;22 Speaker 1 Good. I just was like, what are you doing? 00;19;49;22 - 00;19;50;16 Speaker 2 Yeah, she's an angel. 00;19;51;12 - 00;19;51;26 Speaker 5 An angel? 00;19;51;26 - 00;19;55;00 Speaker 1 Literally completely innocent in this whole entire. 00;19;55;01 - 00;19;56;03 Speaker 3 You got to make sure. 00;19;56;03 - 00;20;00;11 Speaker 2 Archie Ronin. No, I know they were there with you. They could have told me. Oh, yeah. Wow. Such a. 00;20;00;11 - 00;20;03;11 Speaker 5 Jerk. Yeah, man. There's, like, every bark is, like, some shit dog. 00;20;04;04 - 00;20;05;00 Speaker 3 Mm hmm. Yeah. 00;20;05;11 - 00;20;12;03 Speaker 4 I wonder if it was the thing where he was just like. He was like, I got to do this thing that. Josh, just let me do this thing. That's all the stuff you want to do afterwards. 00;20;12;03 - 00;20;13;15 Speaker 3 It was like you had experience was. 00;20;13;15 - 00;20;16;13 Speaker 2 Fueled by spite. That's the best part about it. 00;20;16;13 - 00;20;19;12 Speaker 4 Like he still me. I can't. I can't let this go. 00;20;19;12 - 00;20;22;09 Speaker 3 He sat legitimately that whole game. Had you seen. 00;20;22;09 - 00;20;24;12 Speaker 2 Himself like, Oh, that guy he is. 00;20;24;12 - 00;20;27;14 Speaker 3 Going to go is going to be crushed. He's going to. 00;20;27;14 - 00;20;29;02 Speaker 4 Be I with the Rocky montage. 00;20;29;12 - 00;20;32;00 Speaker 3 Of clips. Oh, Charlie playing games, sitting. 00;20;32;00 - 00;20;32;29 Speaker 4 Like this, you know. 00;20;33;23 - 00;20;35;13 Speaker 3 So it's just too good. It's too good. 00;20;35;13 - 00;20;53;13 Speaker 2 He can't drop it. It was just it was so unexpected like that that that's just like. I mean, I hate it. I'm pissed. But it was a pleasant surprise because it was obviously hilarious, but I mean, hey, dude, master tier troll over here. My hat's off to you. Your step above me, man. I wouldn't have thought that that was some fucking dedication, dude. 00;20;53;24 - 00;20;54;12 Speaker 5 Dedication. 00;20;54;19 - 00;20;54;26 Speaker 3 All right. 00;20;54;26 - 00;20;56;01 Speaker 2 Get. Get it on. Okay. 00;20;56;14 - 00;20;57;10 Speaker 4 All right, let's do it. Let's go. 00;20;57;11 - 00;20;57;29 Speaker 2 Let's move on. 00;20;58;00 - 00;20;58;28 Speaker 3 Let's go. All right. 00;20;58;28 - 00;21;02;04 Speaker 5 We said we do. What are we doing? All our flops. First, and then we're doing our list. 00;21;02;04 - 00;21;08;20 Speaker 1 So do the honorable mentions flops, and then get into your top. Go out the bottom. Okay, So ten through six. 00;21;08;21 - 00;21;09;25 Speaker 5 Okay. Okay. Okay. Yeah. 00;21;09;26 - 00;21;11;19 Speaker 2 Don't we always start against? 00;21;11;19 - 00;21;16;25 Speaker 1 Yeah. So. All right, you're up first. Let us know what you do. You have four center, six, and you're okay. 00;21;16;25 - 00;21;33;28 Speaker 4 So. So starting with the honorable mentions and flops or whatever, I decided to go with games that I really wanted to play. Either started, didn't start at all, or didn't even pick up. Right. So I have three that were that fit in that first category, Stray was one that I started. Right? And then just for whatever reason, let's listen. 00;21;33;28 - 00;21;47;09 Speaker 4 Let's pick up the game and then some other game will come in or whatever, and I just won't go back to it. Yeah. So that was one. There was another one triangle strategy that I really wanted to play. Yeah, I played the demo and I'm like, It's great, but it even bothered to pick it up. And then the third one. 00;21;47;18 - 00;21;48;04 Speaker 5 What is? 00;21;48;12 - 00;21;49;07 Speaker 3 Yeah. 00;21;49;07 - 00;21;50;21 Speaker 2 Oh, you'll hear about my list. 00;21;50;21 - 00;21;51;17 Speaker 3 Yeah. There you. 00;21;51;17 - 00;22;06;24 Speaker 4 Go. I figured it would be in his list. The third one is a game that I bought, installed it never fired up. And that was deathloop because I heard some pretty good stuff about it. And I'm like, I want to play this game. But I never did that and share. 00;22;06;27 - 00;22;07;29 Speaker 3 Yeah, yeah, yeah. 00;22;08;00 - 00;22;19;15 Speaker 4 That was just there. Yeah. And ironically, my biggest, my two biggest disappointments are something that are close to me personally, and that is multiverses And Gotham Knights. 00;22;19;21 - 00;22;22;25 Speaker 2 We, we, we, we. Why is multiverses a disappointment to you? 00;22;23;19 - 00;23;03;18 Speaker 4 Because it had such promise in the beginning, as far as like, it was a great game. It was like it was supposed to dethrone Smash as the matchup brawler. Yeah. And because, because of things that I know that I can't talk about and other things that like that were outwardly shown to the public, like, you know, if you're playing a fighting game, you can't have a fighting game where players don't understand why they lost an engagement, an encounter, because you're hit, you're hit detection and your animations are so wonky that like, I don't know where my head boxes when I'm doing this move and and especially when you want it to be a casual appeal 00;23;03;18 - 00;23;14;05 Speaker 4 game. Yeah right. So like and then another big thing was how do you make a four player brawler game and do not have couch play right out of the box. 00;23;14;10 - 00;23;16;05 Speaker 2 True right. That is. 00;23;16;05 - 00;23;37;17 Speaker 4 True. So yeah. And it was just like it had so much promise. I mean, fidelity was like visually wise. It was great. They, they really stuck true to like, the characters and the feel of the characters. Like, I mean, you look at Batman, R.I.P., Kevin Conroy and Artie's Batman. It's your Batman. Like the Batman we grew up with. 00;23;37;17 - 00;23;54;08 Speaker 4 I feel that way. It feels great, right? And even the characters that had the Steven Universe characters, and I love that animation, right? And so like to have these characters be authentic with the voice actors who actually did the roles for these, you know, characters in the shows and movies and whatever was great. I mean, that was just it. 00;23;54;08 - 00;24;08;28 Speaker 4 They stuck the landing on that, but then the gameplay fell off, you know, and then they just didn't have a lot of game modes. And so it was a thing that I was concerned when it came out, whether or not it was going to maintain the hype that it did or was going to peter out. And it kind of did. 00;24;08;28 - 00;24;22;03 Speaker 2 So I didn't really I didn't really hear anything about it once it came out. You're right when you think about it. I mean, I played it and I thought it was fine. It's just fighting games style. Like I, I wanted all all I wanted to do is I wanted to be Shaggy, and I just wanted to, like, go back to Mode and just beat people up. 00;24;22;03 - 00;24;22;27 Speaker 2 And I did. And it was. 00;24;22;27 - 00;24;23;13 Speaker 3 Just trying to beat. 00;24;23;13 - 00;24;24;17 Speaker 1 People up with a burrito. 00;24;24;20 - 00;24;26;25 Speaker 4 With a sandwich? Yes, exactly. It was a. 00;24;26;25 - 00;24;27;12 Speaker 3 Lot of fun. 00;24;27;17 - 00;24;29;11 Speaker 5 My school, we're at this like this guy. 00;24;30;09 - 00;24;35;29 Speaker 3 This like. Do you mean when you go. 00;24;35;29 - 00;24;40;20 Speaker 4 Into that, like some of the character choices they made? Like, why do we have gremlins in this? Why is a model. 00;24;41;16 - 00;24;42;14 Speaker 2 Like, I got into. 00;24;42;14 - 00;24;42;27 Speaker 3 This? Yeah. 00;24;43;01 - 00;24;47;11 Speaker 4 So they they introduced Gizmo and Spike as playable characters. 00;24;47;17 - 00;24;51;02 Speaker 2 Yeah. What I thought. Yeah, yeah, yeah. 00;24;51;04 - 00;24;51;12 Speaker 3 I don't. 00;24;51;12 - 00;24;58;05 Speaker 2 Know. They were probably just trying to do the same thing that Smash does with appealing to, like Pikachu and different Pokemon and stuff like that. 00;24;58;26 - 00;25;17;02 Speaker 4 But you know, those characters that they bring in as potential fighters anyway, like they're right. There are a couple, there are a handful of characters. Like we've a trainer that like, why is this person in a fighting game? But that's what you get. You get every now and then those little wonky ones, right? That like kind of are the outliers, but like when all of your characters have you questioning why. 00;25;17;16 - 00;25;18;21 Speaker 3 What there's so many others you. 00;25;18;21 - 00;25;21;27 Speaker 4 Could have gone with, why this one. So yeah. 00;25;23;05 - 00;25;25;09 Speaker 2 Who's the who's going to kick it off next. 00;25;25;29 - 00;25;29;09 Speaker 3 Yeah, right. Yeah. Anything more? 00;25;29;09 - 00;25;30;08 Speaker 4 You want me to go through this? 00;25;30;21 - 00;25;31;06 Speaker 3 Six to. 00;25;31;24 - 00;25;32;15 Speaker 1 Ten. Through six? Yeah. 00;25;32;21 - 00;25;34;21 Speaker 4 Yeah, do six. All right. So most of what. 00;25;34;29 - 00;25;38;08 Speaker 5 We do honorable mentions that we do tend and we have a ten through six. Well, I do. 00;25;38;22 - 00;25;39;20 Speaker 4 As don't worry about it. 00;25;39;20 - 00;25;42;25 Speaker 1 Ended up staying until you hit five. 00;25;42;25 - 00;25;45;01 Speaker 3 Okay. You know, no construction. 00;25;45;02 - 00;25;46;13 Speaker 5 Rules. Nothing matters. 00;25;46;29 - 00;25;47;18 Speaker 4 Nothing matters. 00;25;47;18 - 00;25;48;12 Speaker 3 Does not what. 00;25;48;16 - 00;25;51;16 Speaker 1 Society if not rules. And it's the central crises. 00;25;51;17 - 00;25;52;25 Speaker 3 In this society. 00;25;52;25 - 00;26;10;13 Speaker 4 So my my ten through six are also in the same vein of like honorable mentions where it's games that I picked up played a little bit of and then just couldn't really get back into. And number ten, my very first Pokémon game, which is Pokémon our case as the very first Pokémon outside of Pokémon, Go outside of Pokémon Go. 00;26;10;13 - 00;26;23;13 Speaker 4 I don't really count that, but that's kind of what like, you know, started the whole thing. But yeah, the first Pokémon game ever played was Pokémon Arcadius and I played it. I got, I got, you know, had a lot of fun with it. Didn't get very far because I kept running around trying to catch different Pokémon, which to me is like, That's fun. 00;26;24;08 - 00;26;31;12 Speaker 4 I've got what I wanted out of it. And I know everybody was talking about how the graphics were crap and all this other stuff, but like, you know, for the most part I had fun. I had a lot of fun playing. 00;26;31;12 - 00;26;32;04 Speaker 5 That's all I matters. 00;26;33;11 - 00;26;51;14 Speaker 4 Number nine. And this was yeah, and I was really super hyped about this one, which is Lego Star Wars Skywalker Saga. And the only reason why it's number nine at higher on the list is because of how little I played it, because the game was so damn huge. But I can't I don't have time. I don't have to get into this right now. 00;26;52;23 - 00;27;12;17 Speaker 4 Number eight was Tiny Teen Is Wonderland another game? That was really frickin cool to play. But then again, the looter shooters I think might be something that I have to push to the backburner until I do get more time because like, you know, predator and kill. What do I got here? All right. Okay. It's just it's it was just a little bit too much. 00;27;14;02 - 00;27;14;27 Speaker 4 They're going to love this one. 00;27;14;27 - 00;27;18;14 Speaker 2 Just a bunch when you have multiple people to play with. Yeah, it's. 00;27;18;18 - 00;27;19;06 Speaker 4 Number seven. 00;27;19;06 - 00;27;20;29 Speaker 2 World and stuff like that. 00;27;20;29 - 00;27;46;12 Speaker 4 Number seven Rattle is King Classic. And me, me and a bunch of friends like ran in burned through to get up to that. And then we got there, we played it and we were like, This is fun, but we don't have the XP boost any more. So okay, we're going to move on. But still, I recognize it brought back kind of that nostalgia feeling and I'm like, Oh my God, this was when I really had a lot of fun with with Warcraft, so much so that I went back and tried retail, but it actually had some fun with that. 00;27;46;12 - 00;27;50;22 Speaker 4 More on that later. And number six Gran Turismo seven. 00;27;51;08 - 00;27;53;08 Speaker 3 Oh I was that I totally. 00;27;53;10 - 00;27;54;07 Speaker 1 Forgot that came out. 00;27;54;07 - 00;28;09;20 Speaker 4 Yeah I picked it up and I played it for a bit and I was loving it. And then again it was just like, it just takes so long to get through like some of the races and stuff and I'm like, by the time I have time to do it, I'm so tired. So think about driving games. If I'm playing like late at night, I'll fall asleep at the wheels. 00;28;09;21 - 00;28;09;24 Speaker 4 Like. 00;28;10;02 - 00;28;13;03 Speaker 3 Yeah. Oh, right, Yeah. 00;28;13;09 - 00;28;25;01 Speaker 4 No, no, no, no. I'll do it on the real road too, if it's too late. That's why it's like it's a season. I guess so. But yeah, so that's. Yeah, that was it. That like this was my 6 to 10 year games that were good, but just I didn't get a chance to really dig into. 00;28;25;05 - 00;28;25;17 Speaker 3 Yeah. 00;28;26;29 - 00;28;28;05 Speaker 2 When you played in Wrath. 00;28;29;14 - 00;28;30;02 Speaker 4 What did I play. 00;28;30;07 - 00;28;30;17 Speaker 3 Yeah. 00;28;30;26 - 00;28;34;10 Speaker 4 I went digging. I was doing okay because that's what we wanted to take. 00;28;34;10 - 00;28;46;17 Speaker 2 So if anybody ever wants to play Raph, I suggest starting it up. It's just easier anyways. Yeah, because I could do a whole podcast about World Warcraft. We're not going to do that to you. You go first. 00;28;47;12 - 00;28;52;09 Speaker 1 Yeah, go for it. Yeah, because you're a mole. Go just on my screen and switch jobs. Okay. 00;28;53;02 - 00;29;10;26 Speaker 2 So my honorable mentions are same as huge. I actually. I pick games that I didn't have time to play that I really wanted to play. Lego. Star Wars was my first one. I really wanted to try that out because, you know, me and my other boys are really into it and it looks really cool. I love Star Wars. 00;29;11;05 - 00;29;32;26 Speaker 2 Definitely. There's something I didn't have time for. Horizon Forbidden West. I really want to try out the Horizon series, but I just, you know, it's just not something I actually never played the first one. So. Yeah, I know I haven't years. I have it downstairs. Just one of those games that you just have. I know, I know. I Meech does the same thing to me all the time. 00;29;32;26 - 00;29;34;05 Speaker 2 It nerd was the deal. Hey. 00;29;34;24 - 00;29;37;06 Speaker 1 Hold on, hold out. What is that case that you have? 00;29;37;16 - 00;29;37;27 Speaker 3 What is it? 00;29;38;10 - 00;29;40;22 Speaker 1 Is it. Is it green hands holding. 00;29;40;22 - 00;29;43;13 Speaker 2 Oh yeah. So you can like, prop the phone up like. Wow. 00;29;43;21 - 00;29;46;22 Speaker 1 That's pretty rad. Okay, Sorry, I just saw that. I just got it. I was like, Oh. 00;29;46;27 - 00;30;06;21 Speaker 2 Anything in my hand over here. Next was a Deerfield Chronicles. It was a game on my square, but it came out on the switch not too long ago. It's basically like a it's basically like triangle strategy. It's a one of those they're not real time strategy. I don't know what kind of strategy RPG turn based. I don't know what you call them. 00;30;07;16 - 00;30;27;00 Speaker 2 Kind of like fantasy tactics. Fire Emblem, one of those turn based tactics style games. But the graphics looked insane. I just I just like look badass. And some other boys have tried that in the Discord and I know they said it was really good. And then the fourth on my list is Marvel Midnight Suns. Like I want to try and I don't know if any of you have that in your top ten. 00;30;27;09 - 00;30;30;05 Speaker 4 But I sort of put that on my list is the one I want to play. 00;30;30;05 - 00;30;54;29 Speaker 2 Yeah, it looks disgustingly awesome and I just haven't I definitely have not had the time to do that because of other games that I've been getting into. But my biggest flop for 2022 was Diablo Immortal Game Fucking sucks and straight up disappointment as a motherfucker man. And I'm sorry I'm cursing so much, but I spent like $1,000 on my game and I regret every penny of it. 00;30;54;29 - 00;30;57;01 Speaker 5 They didn't like literally $1,000. 00;30;57;14 - 00;31;17;26 Speaker 2 Yeah, literally $1,000. I built a website for somebody for a client, and I made $1,000 off of it. Specifically with the mindset of, I'm going to spend all this money. Well, that was every penny I spent on the game. So at that point, once I stopped spending, the game fell off hard. Like, hard, hard. 00;31;17;26 - 00;31;18;07 Speaker 3 Hard, hard. 00;31;18;07 - 00;31;39;03 Speaker 2 Hard to the point where it sucked. Like it was just pointless to play the game and the whole the whole clay. A immortal verse shadow system. Can I just. Dude, is terrible game, terrible implementation. Had no infinite possibilities to make a great mobile game, but they just they ruined it by, you know, with greed. I'm sorry. Like, I know, I know. 00;31;39;03 - 00;31;47;19 Speaker 2 That's like the the common thing with all the multiplayer free to play games by name is biggest disappointment. 2022 I don't have any more time and that dodging game my sense of the. 00;31;47;19 - 00;31;48;13 Speaker 4 UI was good, right? 00;31;49;29 - 00;31;52;22 Speaker 2 You know I wasn't I mean, I didn't look I the gameplay wasn't that. 00;31;52;29 - 00;31;54;20 Speaker 3 The I you know I mean it wasn't. 00;31;54;20 - 00;31;58;03 Speaker 2 Great but like, I don't know, I mean. 00;31;59;07 - 00;32;04;12 Speaker 4 I only I said because I know one of the UI designers on the thing, that's why it was a selfish, selfish little question. 00;32;04;18 - 00;32;05;13 Speaker 3 It really it really. 00;32;05;13 - 00;32;25;29 Speaker 2 Wasn't, you know, like I actually okay, like the thing about the reason I don't like the game is because they, they did a poor job of implementing a online community aspect of it because it became toxic real fast with the focal point being you can't roll with the big boys unless you spend money. And I get that's how it is in most of these games. 00;32;26;03 - 00;32;48;10 Speaker 2 But like it's egregious in that game where the immortals get a heavy leverage over the shadows in terms of their rewards system. So it's like the whole point is you want to be the immortals, but if you are not part of this, like crew of people who turn out to be really asshole people that I don't want to play with, then you know it just it's just pointless anyways. 00;32;49;04 - 00;33;06;04 Speaker 2 Ten through six. Number ten. Even though I haven't played yet, I put Final Fantasy seven Crazy Score because it's the game I was the most excited to play this year. So literally not even making it up like it's in my notes right there. 00;33;06;04 - 00;33;13;26 Speaker 3 You know, you never die. 00;33;14;10 - 00;33;22;11 Speaker 4 That's just right. There should be what you put like on the for the for the pod play that's just just Josh flipping the bird right there. 00;33;22;11 - 00;33;32;06 Speaker 2 It's actually number nine is Pokemon. Yes. I thought the game was great. I actually thought this game came out last year. I don't know why I thought this was 2020. 00;33;32;08 - 00;33;34;20 Speaker 5 At the beginning. It was like the very beginning of the year. 00;33;34;28 - 00;33;51;00 Speaker 2 Yeah. Yeah. Great game, though. Like, I definitely enjoyed it. I thought I actually like the implementation of the system they made where you're if you actually have to, like go out and you know, you can battle through the balls, you can switch the pokemon around in battle like it was pretty cool. Like I can see where they're going with it. 00;33;51;00 - 00;33;52;10 Speaker 2 It definitely has a. 00;33;52;13 - 00;33;54;22 Speaker 3 Little room. 00;33;54;22 - 00;34;11;26 Speaker 2 For improvement, but overall is great. Game number eight up history. I didn't I didn't beat the game, but I'm a cat guy. We all knew I was going to play that game. It's the shares, but it's a beautiful game. If you're this is beautiful, it's cool story. Plus your cat's going to think it's interesting. I swear it's it's super true. 00;34;11;26 - 00;34;40;20 Speaker 2 Number seven is kind of a twofold thing, but GameStop can eat a deck. So I put triangle strategy slash tactics Ogre reborn because they're kind of the same game. Triangle strategy is a another game like fantasy tactics where it's a turn based, you know, strategy style game where you can RPG the tactics. Ogre Reborn Texture was a game that came out, I think, in like 1983, I want to say, on Super Nintendo and but it never released in America in North America, just in Japan. 00;34;40;28 - 00;35;01;18 Speaker 2 And it was basically the preface for the game that was designed for farming AC tactics, which is personally one of my all time favorite games. So I've always wanted to play this game. The fact they were doing a remake of it, it just I never knew it existed until I saw somebody on Twitch playing it, and then I heard about the remake and I'm like, I am super duper hyper about this game. 00;35;01;27 - 00;35;05;26 Speaker 2 Still am. But anyways, number six for me is going to be Marvel's snap. 00;35;07;07 - 00;35;09;10 Speaker 3 Oh yeah. 00;35;09;10 - 00;35;09;15 Speaker 2 Yeah. 00;35;09;20 - 00;35;11;15 Speaker 4 I thought I said oh, because it's that low. 00;35;11;24 - 00;35;26;23 Speaker 2 Yeah, yeah. For me it is is I'm not huge on hard games. I'm sure it's up there Dom And maybe you guys like that's more up your guys alley I think dude, it's a phenomenal game. It's the best card game I've played, but I'm gonna let you guys talk about it because you guys will definitely have more to say, but phenomenal game dude. 00;35;26;23 - 00;35;44;00 Speaker 2 Especially I think for me, the best part about SNAP is that it has a low level of like a skill gap, the barrier and the barrier. And over here I had all, hey, if you're not a big exactly person, you can totally get into this game and the card art is the shit. And I'll but I'll, I'll leave you guys to talk about the rest of it. 00;35;44;00 - 00;35;45;27 Speaker 2 And that's my that's my 10th or six. 00;35;47;00 - 00;35;48;27 Speaker 1 Oh thumb. Do you have any ten, three, six or. No. 00;35;49;09 - 00;35;51;17 Speaker 5 And we don't get it honorable first. 00;35;52;03 - 00;35;53;24 Speaker 1 Yeah. Or whatever it is that you said you didn't. 00;35;54;07 - 00;35;54;28 Speaker 3 I know this book. 00;35;54;28 - 00;36;01;23 Speaker 5 Yeah. But I assume I assume honorable is going to be kind of the normal. That's the rules here, Charlie. You're just trying to skip me, and I don't appreciate it. 00;36;02;07 - 00;36;05;18 Speaker 3 Do you see this guy, Dom? He's. He's getting. He's get two balls. 00;36;05;18 - 00;36;07;25 Speaker 5 The powers the powers go into his head. 00;36;08;14 - 00;36;09;01 Speaker 3 And he's shooting. 00;36;09;01 - 00;36;10;25 Speaker 4 You for 24 inches, but it's got to be 12. 00;36;10;25 - 00;36;42;27 Speaker 5 He's exact swipe this card. Right. All that you think is the callback. Go back to my terrible day yesterday. So if you mentioned the one is a game I did play. It didn't finish. I really wanted to. And then two is one. They didn't play, but I wanted to play for an honorable. I have a total war. Warhammer three the new total war game from Warhammer I, I enjoy those like what would you call this civ style like turn based strategy game? 00;36;42;27 - 00;36;48;24 Speaker 5 Because I really enjoy it. Oh my God, I look so I enjoy this like. 00;36;48;25 - 00;36;49;18 Speaker 2 Little darkness. 00;36;50;01 - 00;36;50;22 Speaker 3 And is. 00;36;51;04 - 00;37;09;12 Speaker 5 I enjoy those like turn based strategy games, but like, they're just they're hard. Yeah, they are. Yeah. They turn these economy games where you're, like, doing good and suddenly you have no economy. Your every village you have is writing and you just lost like every fight and you're just like, how you see this actually is how to. 00;37;10;29 - 00;37;11;09 Speaker 3 Get to. 00;37;11;14 - 00;37;13;16 Speaker 1 Where you're not pointing to your. 00;37;13;16 - 00;37;24;05 Speaker 5 Mouth. Oh, my God, Charlie, It is not like a Zafar way. Please. It was like this where it should be like, okay, Anyway, you're so funny. Here's a, you know, a Charlie, relax. 00;37;24;12 - 00;37;28;06 Speaker 3 What's going through his head? Do it. Relax. Just relax. Yeah, You want them. 00;37;28;21 - 00;37;45;11 Speaker 5 So it's honorable mention. I wouldn't put it in the top because I didn't finish it. I got kind of. I got kind of annoyed with losing so much and I would just, like, I would lose out. I would be, like, halfway into a campaign. I would lose so terribly I couldn't go back. I would just started the campaign over again because like, oh, maybe this won't be good to me, like, so. 00;37;45;18 - 00;38;05;21 Speaker 5 And then I also want to have a horizon forbidden West in my honorable is because the game looks so cool. It looks like a beautiful cool game. I just never, never got to I just didn't have a oh now here and fuck off You see know Chad, I don't need you. I don't need that. You know, also, Colby wanted to play. 00;38;05;21 - 00;38;22;09 Speaker 5 It didn't play, it didn't have the time. And then for the last and I hear mixed things about it is the Callisto protocol. That game that just came out. That hard game. Awesome. It does look cool, right? But I do hear. I do hear some mixed things about it. What do you even giggle about the fucking thing he just said? 00;38;22;09 - 00;38;37;23 Speaker 5 I was reading his lips the whole time. Shut up, man. That was awesome, buddy. I'll give you. I'll give you that. That was funny. And if you're listening to this, my watching my mike wasn't apparently in the right spot and they're making fun of me for it. And because I know you, the listeners, you're not going. I can tell the difference because. 00;38;38;09 - 00;38;40;11 Speaker 1 Because I'm going to boost your night and make you. 00;38;40;13 - 00;38;45;07 Speaker 5 You do not need to fucking boost it, dude. Okay? That is not every time actually episode. 00;38;45;21 - 00;38;52;09 Speaker 3 Oh is I have to do all this shit. You don't have to do all that. You're making it harder. You still need to build to boost that. 00;38;52;13 - 00;39;04;25 Speaker 5 If I do this, suddenly you could still. You know. I know you hear me, Charlie? Because I had the fucking feedback coming in from my mike to my headphones, you know? I know you hear me because I hear myself, Charlie. I hear my fucking self, buddy. 00;39;06;16 - 00;39;08;29 Speaker 3 Yes, yes, exactly. 00;39;08;29 - 00;39;11;14 Speaker 1 I don't know what he's saying. I can't. I just. I really can't hear. 00;39;12;24 - 00;39;13;25 Speaker 3 That's all right. 00;39;13;25 - 00;39;31;20 Speaker 5 So, yeah, I. I know it just came out like, this month, I think, but it looks. It looks really cool. It looks like kind of dead space. So. Yeah, I didn't play it. I probably. Maybe, maybe, maybe I should try that. Make sure I just have like, the games I am playing. I'm just caring more about this. I was starting other games. 00;39;32;03 - 00;39;47;25 Speaker 5 This my animals, so I don't have a ten through six, but I have a six and seven just because I didn't play that many new game shows and the ones I there are too flops, but I don't know if that would count. But wait, you do for hours that flops later. Sorry. 00;39;47;28 - 00;39;50;27 Speaker 3 It's like now it is five now. Yeah. Yeah. 00;39;51;10 - 00;39;53;09 Speaker 5 Diablo Immortal also huge flop for me. 00;39;54;05 - 00;39;55;02 Speaker 3 I think it's a. 00;39;55;08 - 00;39;56;03 Speaker 5 Very big flop. 00;39;56;19 - 00;39;57;23 Speaker 2 I was a big fan for you. 00;39;58;24 - 00;40;07;25 Speaker 5 Why? That's the answer. Why is this exist? Why do I care? Why should I continue to play it? Why? And, you know, I mean, like, just what's the point of it? 00;40;09;14 - 00;40;11;06 Speaker 4 Because everyone wants to get into mobile gaming. 00;40;11;14 - 00;40;23;23 Speaker 5 Yes. To quote a great American poet, is this an out of turn April Fool's joke? Never forget that hero at BlizzCon that asked that question. Live on cue, the guys presenting. Yeah, we were that. 00;40;23;28 - 00;40;24;18 Speaker 3 True, true. 00;40;24;19 - 00;40;35;13 Speaker 5 True hero and it also I haven't played this game and that speaks volumes on the level of flop that it is is Pokémon Scarlet Violet. 00;40;36;06 - 00;40;36;22 Speaker 3 Oh. 00;40;37;08 - 00;40;41;02 Speaker 2 Yeah. The fact that people were returning it is pretty bad and I've. 00;40;41;02 - 00;41;03;07 Speaker 5 Heard that the game itself is okay. That is definitely it is definitely a far cry from the amount of of, of good that a a you know a newer pokemon should be. I haven't spent I'm not going to spend money on a game that isn't physically working correctly like it should be and is there a chance I can get it and it will work? 00;41;03;07 - 00;41;19;04 Speaker 5 Sure. Well, they probably put out a patch for it at some point to make sure it's fixed, which I've heard that they are currently in the process of doing. Sure, but I'm not going to buy it if it's not working. And that is so unfortunate because I buy every I. I've been playing Pokemon since I was a child. 00;41;19;04 - 00;41;40;05 Speaker 5 I bought nearly every Pokemon game that could exist because I just love I love Pokemon and it is quite frankly such a bummer to not get it. And I'm just going to hold steady until I know that it's fixed. So that's on the floor. I went to flops and then into my top. So yeah, the funny thing is going to number seven is actually Pokemon. 00;41;40;05 - 00;41;42;21 Speaker 5 Marcus Arceus, our guess, whatever it is. 00;41;43;17 - 00;41;43;28 Speaker 4 Yeah. 00;41;44;08 - 00;42;01;27 Speaker 5 I, you know, and that's the thing is I enjoyed the what they did with that game so I know I enjoy that same system and, Violet and Scarlet, but at least are. Wesley all these frame dumps and like processing errors and all this graphical shit going on that didn't exist in I don't. 00;42;01;27 - 00;42;03;00 Speaker 2 I had no problems with that. 00;42;03;06 - 00;42;22;13 Speaker 5 Yeah. So maybe they tried to one up it a little bit and that's why Scarlet in Violet got a little messed up. But yeah, so I did really enjoy the, the new open world aspect of Pokémon that they have they switched to. I thought that was really fun. It was the story was kind of cool. They're going, this is like time loop thing that was kind of nice. 00;42;22;13 - 00;42;38;03 Speaker 5 I enjoyed all that. I actually never ended up finishing it. Unfortunately, it actually I wish it was more of a grind than I expected it to be honest. It was like pretty grinding and I'm I'm not I'm not really in the grind life anymore in games, you know what I mean? Well. 00;42;38;13 - 00;42;41;17 Speaker 2 With like I said, unless it's fluff. 00;42;41;17 - 00;43;07;01 Speaker 5 Well number six is Flip universe actually not a good Segway. Good Segway Flip Universe is a remake of an MMO. It's a play. When I was in high school flip is was this Chinese MMO that like super we be like cartoon MMO like just the grind. The grind has to grind. You can grind like you can't grind. You're like, you're not, you're not getting this level of grind. 00;43;07;21 - 00;43;27;01 Speaker 5 I would say it's just too much. It's too much. So I got to. So the universe came out this year officially. I got into it fucking deep. I got to level like 98, which max level now is 140. It was 120 had another, they had another expansion a couple of months ago that left that put it out to 140. 00;43;27;14 - 00;43;46;03 Speaker 5 I got to 97 and I was just like, Jack, if I can do this, I stopped. So but I can't deny that I put a lot of hours in the game and I did enjoy playing. And again, I got into a really good guild and we did a lot of the in-game stuff and that was really fun. Like when I was in high school, I played alone, which made the grind even cracking. 00;43;46;03 - 00;43;46;09 Speaker 5 We went. 00;43;46;17 - 00;43;46;20 Speaker 2 And. 00;43;46;29 - 00;43;49;00 Speaker 5 Did nothing. And for a guy in school, like I. 00;43;49;00 - 00;43;49;28 Speaker 3 Was this. 00;43;49;29 - 00;43;51;03 Speaker 5 Fucking sad boy loser. 00;43;51;03 - 00;43;52;01 Speaker 3 And who's going with? 00;43;52;12 - 00;43;57;01 Speaker 5 Yeah, that's my 10th or six. And my philosophy honorable mentions. 00;43;57;26 - 00;44;03;04 Speaker 1 Go for the big flop that I have like everyone else. Is Java mortal? Yeah, obviously. 00;44;03;05 - 00;44;04;04 Speaker 2 You and I spent a bunch like. 00;44;05;01 - 00;44;06;06 Speaker 3 Like you guys. 00;44;06;06 - 00;44;09;01 Speaker 5 Know way more time than I did. I feel the same way. 00;44;09;01 - 00;44;09;16 Speaker 3 Itanium. 00;44;09;20 - 00;44;12;21 Speaker 5 I was like, Oh, this is not this is not entirely. 00;44;12;21 - 00;44;13;11 Speaker 3 You know Yeah. 00;44;13;22 - 00;44;16;20 Speaker 1 It's that and torchlight infinite in my to be all. 00;44;17;10 - 00;44;18;15 Speaker 4 Tour I forgot about that one. 00;44;19;10 - 00;44;49;13 Speaker 1 Yeah I played it and it was just another one of those like the big flop for me on that game is the fact there's no controller support either on the desktop game or, or like through mobile You want to play on my backbone. I can't. I was like, Why can I not? So I just like it's just another I mean, it was it was fun to play, but I played it for like a week and I was just like, I just can't do this again after just doing all the moral stuff and just like, I just don't have time to like to dedicate to something else. 00;44;49;13 - 00;45;08;11 Speaker 1 So yeah, that was my two flops. So for me, the I have four honorable mentions and I thank huge for bringing up two of them because I completely forgot that they came out this year and I play that. One of the one of them is Gran Turismo seven because I actually have I play, I actually play that and I was I had a lot of fun with that. 00;45;08;20 - 00;45;09;25 Speaker 5 You have a race wheel, right? 00;45;10;03 - 00;45;11;13 Speaker 1 I have a race with it. And I must. 00;45;11;13 - 00;45;12;16 Speaker 5 Make it so much more fun. 00;45;13;06 - 00;45;33;22 Speaker 1 It does make it a lot more fun, but I just don't have like, you need time. You need a commitment to sit down, play that game, and it's just tough to do. So yeah, but of all the times that I was playing, like my buddy who lives up the street from me, like he's a professional racer, well, he like, came in like actually set it up and did it like how he's used to and he's just like, this is awesome. 00;45;33;22 - 00;45;43;27 Speaker 1 Like, and he was actually driving like how he would drive on a race track, which is kind of rad thing. Oh, it's just, it's definitely racing simulator, so I need to play it more. Maybe I'll do that now that I'm done with this score. 00;45;43;27 - 00;45;47;04 Speaker 3 So it's so much. 00;45;47;20 - 00;45;49;07 Speaker 1 A game that I want to play, but I want. 00;45;49;08 - 00;45;49;16 Speaker 2 It out. 00;45;49;17 - 00;45;50;21 Speaker 3 To. 00;45;50;21 - 00;45;51;08 Speaker 2 Nobody can. 00;45;51;08 - 00;45;51;25 Speaker 1 Play the Star. 00;45;51;25 - 00;45;54;07 Speaker 2 Wars. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. 00;45;54;07 - 00;46;08;08 Speaker 1 I wanted to play that. But also I heard it was a grind and I've been waiting for it to go on sale to pick it up like more than just 20% off. Like, I want to pick it up like, half off. I'll play it. But I love the I love the Lego Series. Yeah. 00;46;08;15 - 00;46;10;06 Speaker 4 Which platform? 00;46;10;06 - 00;46;10;20 Speaker 1 Part five. 00;46;11;02 - 00;46;12;20 Speaker 3 All right. Yeah. 00;46;13;23 - 00;46;25;07 Speaker 1 And then another one that I want to play it but haven't gotten around to, I probably will pick up. This week is Midnight Sons. Yeah, Huge fan of Firaxis and XCOM and I love that they did that with Marvel so I was. 00;46;26;16 - 00;46;28;04 Speaker 2 Sick man like it. 00;46;28;04 - 00;46;34;15 Speaker 1 Does look sick and I know Stan picked it up so I'm really excited to hear more about it and like just he's just really enjoys it. So and the. 00;46;34;15 - 00;46;38;11 Speaker 2 Reviews were pretty good for it. So, I mean, which is bad? I mean, we have more time to play it. 00;46;39;28 - 00;46;59;23 Speaker 1 And then one that I picked up because of Shaanxi this earlier this year was The Ascent, which is pretty fun. So if you've never play, that's a good isometric down game. I came out or I played it on Xbox Game Pass and then it came out for Ps5. So I picked up as five and played it there and it was a lot of fun. 00;46;59;23 - 00;47;08;13 Speaker 1 So I got maybe like 3 hours into the game, but I want to put more into it. But it just, you know, it just kind of scratches that RPG, RPG edge that I wanted. 00;47;08;19 - 00;47;10;04 Speaker 4 So that was good. 00;47;10;11 - 00;47;28;24 Speaker 1 And yeah, and then all right, so ten through six for me, number ten for me, it's Crysis core, which was a pawn song to the world. And then I'm sure this will be in Dom's top list because we kind of brought it up and it reminded me of this one as well. It was a vampire survivors. 00;47;28;24 - 00;47;30;28 Speaker 2 And I was wondering if you guys were going to have that in years. 00;47;31;22 - 00;47;45;08 Speaker 1 Yeah. So Dom did say that. DOES Yeah, it was, you know, it was in early access late last, but then it finally came out this year. So, you know, kind of counting with the release as opposed to early access, which is fine. And then I also it also recently came out on iOS and. 00;47;45;17 - 00;47;50;16 Speaker 5 I saw that, yeah, because I know there was like that, that like Survivor IO, which was the knockoff. 00;47;50;21 - 00;48;07;19 Speaker 1 Yeah, Yeah. I mean I played that, that was fine. Yeah. You pay for them and it's a again it comes down to I just don't have the time and it's like 15 minute matches every time. It's like it's got to grind. Couldn't do it. Number eight for me is Marvel snap nerds. Same reason that Josh was playing. Like, I really liked it. 00;48;07;19 - 00;48;27;28 Speaker 1 I played the first two seasons, but then I just can't. I was just turned into and one more thing for me to do daily and I just trying to not be on my phone as much. So And then number seven is deathloop for sure, because that was that was another game that I finished up this, this as a platinum recently and that was actually a lot of fun. 00;48;27;28 - 00;48;35;20 Speaker 1 And I didn't realize that Deathloop is in the same universe as the Dishonored series. That's correct. 00;48;36;07 - 00;48;36;20 Speaker 4 Yeah. 00;48;37;15 - 00;48;59;12 Speaker 1 Yeah. So the director of the game do it. Not so if you're going to go back and ever play it again, huge. It's great. But I will spoil anything. Not to spoil anything for you then. But there is, there's something at the end of the game that ties it directly to that series. So I didn't know that and that made it even cooler for me because I love the Dishonored series and it makes a lot more sense now based on what's going on with it. 00;48;59;12 - 00;49;01;09 Speaker 1 But yeah, and the game director confirmed that it. 00;49;02;16 - 00;49;07;26 Speaker 4 Do you think I should play like the Dishonored game first and then, oh, does it matter? Okay, because I was really dishonored. Okay, cool. 00;49;08;08 - 00;49;27;04 Speaker 1 The dishonored designer's great. It's like I really, like, was, like, one of the first like, what I call, like, the multi way version of or it's like a fantasy version of Deus Ex where you have multiple ways in which you can approach a situation like stealth guns blazing or magic or whatever it is that you want to do or Yeah, yeah. 00;49;27;12 - 00;49;39;24 Speaker 1 So I really enjoyed those games and that was just a lot of fun from that. And then number six for me, stray, so I really like that. But it's hard to play with dogs that kind of go nuts with Scream. 00;49;40;12 - 00;49;42;24 Speaker 3 Do they really? In our living room. So yeah yeah. 00;49;43;07 - 00;50;06;08 Speaker 1 Non stop They just just go after it. So I have to like play it when Amanda was in the other room and have the dogs with them or they were asleep or something like that or they just weren't paying attention. So but that was great. I wanted to completely platinum that game, but I just made a little tough because you have to do it just got kind of grind and like there's like one section where like you have to beat this three minute section without getting hit once. 00;50;06;08 - 00;50;20;06 Speaker 1 And I just couldn't. I tried like seven times. I was like, I just can't do it. Like, and I worked with me. So yeah, it was my 10th or six. All right. So now we're going to go talk about the top five and we can go into a little bit of depth about why those are your top five. 00;50;20;06 - 00;50;22;24 Speaker 1 So we'll start off with number five. Who's going to take us away. 00;50;23;13 - 00;50;31;09 Speaker 4 All right. Number five for me is I mentioned it before, but I got sucked back into while retail was Dragonfly. 00;50;31;09 - 00;50;37;22 Speaker 2 Dude. Wow. That's funny because number five for me is while Dragonfly as well. There you go. Funny. 00;50;37;23 - 00;50;55;27 Speaker 4 Yeah I yeah, I mean go ahead. It's probably you see a lot of the same things, but specifically, it's like they went back and said, well, what are all the things that people hate about religion or about shadowlands? And like, okay, let's kick all our stuff out of there. We'll keep some of the stuff that's cool, but kick all this other crap out of there. 00;50;55;27 - 00;51;19;25 Speaker 4 And then the other thing they recognized was people like to level alts. Let's make that a simpler process. But you know, process and then, well, what's really fun? Like people like flying. Well, let's make flying actually really frickin fun and cool. Like one of the first things I did when I got into the game was flew around, got all the dragon glyphs and made sure that my my dragon was, like, kitted out and then just went and did all the races. 00;51;19;25 - 00;51;42;18 Speaker 4 The first run around the races. Before I even finished the story, I was Dragon flying all over the place and I could literally just spend so much time in the air flying. It's fast, It feels good. It's like it's it's different than actual flying. So, so much. So when you go back to as their author and try to do real flying like, this sucks, man, it's due to slow motion. 00;51;42;19 - 00;51;43;22 Speaker 3 It's just like. 00;51;43;28 - 00;51;46;04 Speaker 2 Okay, I can hover. Yeah, yeah. 00;51;47;18 - 00;52;03;11 Speaker 4 But yeah. And then of course, like, you know, the, the, the visuals of the game are always like, really good. Like, it's amazing. A game is like, what, 20 years old or something like that or something. And it just still looks really frickin good because they made it so they can improve. You know, the graphics and the chassis. 00;52;03;12 - 00;52;03;26 Speaker 4 Go along. 00;52;03;26 - 00;52;09;04 Speaker 2 Thank you. Listen nice. Like there's kind of. Yes. Yeah, like there's not. I mean. 00;52;09;05 - 00;52;12;01 Speaker 5 There's there's one thing that can always be said. Always good cut scenes. 00;52;12;20 - 00;52;14;05 Speaker 4 Yeah. Always good track scenes. 00;52;14;12 - 00;52;15;17 Speaker 3 Well, it's a little bit different. 00;52;15;17 - 00;52;19;05 Speaker 2 The in-game ones aren't is like cinematic in they're more. 00;52;19;05 - 00;52;19;25 Speaker 5 Oh really. 00;52;19;29 - 00;52;33;18 Speaker 2 Yeah. They kind of just flow with the, the actual like, like rendering of the world as it is that you're playing in it. It it's, it's definitely really fucking good. Like I haven't. 00;52;33;22 - 00;52;33;27 Speaker 4 Seen. 00;52;33;28 - 00;52;37;16 Speaker 2 This expansion in a long time and it's, it's definitely surprisingly good. 00;52;38;09 - 00;52;53;29 Speaker 4 They keep the immersion is what it is is that as long as the cut things are still in the game, it doesn't pull you out and make sure there's really high fidelity thing. Like another thing that like kind of speaks to me is when I was a kid and we watched cartoons and the intro to the cartoon was so really cool. 00;52;54;02 - 00;53;09;28 Speaker 4 The actual cartoons are like, What the hell? This is crap. These graphic animation is crap compared to what you showed me in the beginning. But yeah, like overall, I, you know, I took my invoker, leveled him up, got, you know, got the 70 and I'm still having fun with it Now on the renowned grind. 00;53;09;28 - 00;53;11;03 Speaker 2 Dragon class, right? 00;53;11;13 - 00;53;38;18 Speaker 4 Yeah. Yeah, exactly. I did. Because I want to get like all the renown up to a point to where it does make it easier to bring in a second character and then level them up because you get like, you know, a boost to the renown. But yeah, now I'm on that renown grind and, and then the other thing about retail is it's much more friendly for collaborating and grouping like cross server across faction cross you know all that stuff. 00;53;38;18 - 00;54;05;04 Speaker 4 Like the only thing you can't do is like, like send mail to each other or do outworld like outside quests or whatever, overland quests or whatever. If you're Cross faction, like my friend group that I played with, like they were all hordes when we played Wrath and they came back and wanted to play Dragonfly, but I had already played on Alliance with some with a deal that I'd played a long time ago, so my invoker was level 70 as an alliance, but they're a horde. 00;54;05;04 - 00;54;08;06 Speaker 4 But I was still able to party with them and do dungeons. 00;54;09;05 - 00;54;10;01 Speaker 1 Like, Oh, that's right, you know. 00;54;10;02 - 00;54;22;13 Speaker 4 Yeah, yeah, exactly. It was I totally forgotten that they had introduced that. So yeah, it was just the social aspect of it. They've done a lot to fix that. But yeah, that's one over five oh gosh. 00;54;22;21 - 00;54;23;29 Speaker 2 Yeah, that's my number five to you. 00;54;24;07 - 00;54;26;12 Speaker 3 But I stole the thunder. 00;54;27;21 - 00;54;28;10 Speaker 2 I mean, I just. 00;54;28;10 - 00;54;29;06 Speaker 1 Got to dive into it. No. 00;54;29;10 - 00;54;44;24 Speaker 2 Yeah, yeah, for sure. I mean, he, like he said, the dragon thing is the shit. I mean, well, so I'm like, I'm like a sweaty raider, like, I like to pass and things like that. And I go for being like one of the more of the best in my class, you know, in terms of like how much damage output I can do in a raid. 00;54;45;05 - 00;55;05;15 Speaker 2 So I don't really play the game for storyline usually, but the Dragon fight one, I'm actually like really into the storyline. They've kind of taken a lot of the stuff that has made from AC 14 really good that the people liked and implemented that into the retail game and like it actually like works out really, really well. They also think it's pretty cool. 00;55;05;15 - 00;55;26;02 Speaker 2 Like I'm playing like a Fury warrior and I can just like run around like giant packs of things and just or wind around and do like just slams and ah, it's just cool. There's just like, cool abilities. Just I it's better for me than some of the other animals that I've played like a 14 Lost Ark and it's the other one to try out New World. 00;55;26;02 - 00;55;43;19 Speaker 2 Like a lot of those ones, it's all feel. I mean, it's just because I'm a wow head. They just because I'm wild. Yeah but they did a good job because I haven't played retail expansion in forever and I kind of was just like talking shit about all of Shadowlands. So we, we tried battle for a year off for like a very brief period of time. 00;55;43;19 - 00;55;51;25 Speaker 2 I thought it sucked too. Yeah. Yeah. Anyways, Mr. Dom, what's your number five? 00;55;52;16 - 00;55;54;04 Speaker 5 Oh, it's like we're doing five by five. 00;55;54;15 - 00;55;55;18 Speaker 3 Yeah, yeah, yeah. 00;55;56;04 - 00;55;57;04 Speaker 5 We're hammered. Dark tide. 00;55;57;21 - 00;55;58;18 Speaker 3 Nice. 00;55;58;18 - 00;56;26;16 Speaker 5 Which was their new shooter that they, um. They came out with. Like, is it actually like, a music? Still is like, it's officially out. Yeah, I so I never played, I don't actually know if it's the official predecessor but like Fermented which was the game that came out before Dark Tide. I actually, I don't think it was technically the actual but but even with that being said, I always knew that it was like, you know what? 00;56;26;17 - 00;56;47;29 Speaker 5 They considered a good and fun game. But so yeah, the dark tide came out. I played the beta. I was like, Oh, this is like pretty tight. Story's cool. The premise is cool. They only for classes, but like also still pretty cool. And I really enjoyed it. Like it's a game that I find that I like. I might try and like grind out my character. 00;56;47;29 - 00;57;18;15 Speaker 5 I just like, we'll load in, play a mission and then be done. The missions are too long, so it's really a game like really fun added from the Warhammer universe and just like shit in a good what makes a good like shooter, You know what I mean? So yeah, that's pretty much that's, that's I think, I don't know, there's much more to it, but the graphics are pretty tight, you know, either like amazing graphics but it looks very gritty, is very Warhammer you know. 00;57;18;16 - 00;57;21;16 Speaker 1 Yeah, I want to try that game out. I think it's on game space, right? 00;57;22;05 - 00;57;23;11 Speaker 5 Yes, yes, yes. 00;57;23;12 - 00;57;27;15 Speaker 1 I don't know if it's on, I don't know if it's on there for PC, but I definitely will try it out. Oh well. 00;57;28;03 - 00;57;30;04 Speaker 4 I'm not playing shooters on anything other than PC. 00;57;31;16 - 00;57;32;24 Speaker 5 Yeah, I don't disagree too much. 00;57;33;14 - 00;57;54;19 Speaker 1 To check to see if it is for me of number five is tiny, ten is Wonderland. Yeah. Had a lot of fun with that. Yeah, I just I really enjoyed that. I wasn't a huge fan of first person shooters for a long time in that and like you said huge the whole like looter shooter thing kind of after the like the division, the whole debacle. 00;57;54;19 - 00;58;16;04 Speaker 1 I just like I can't do it again And that for some reason like I really like the magic aspect of that game they just it just became fresh for me because I mean, I when you play, you play one Borderlands, you play them all the most part and it gets very repetitive very quickly. The game, the gameplay loop is like 10 seconds long or so and. 00;58;16;04 - 00;58;32;21 Speaker 1 It's just like you just get very, very you get very repetitive and just, you know, it's just like, you know, And whenever I play a new Borderlands game, like I've done this before, I'm not interested. But there was something new about it that just made it really interesting to me. It made me want to play it and finish. 00;58;32;23 - 00;58;47;12 Speaker 1 I'm like, by the time I had, by the time I had finished the storyline, I mean I went through it, I looked at the trophies like, okay, well, what am I missing? And I was like 75% done all the trophies. I was like, All right, Well, then I just it was a quick, like 5 hours of clean up everything else to platinum it. 00;58;47;12 - 00;58;48;11 Speaker 1 And I was like, All right, cool. 00;58;48;11 - 00;58;50;04 Speaker 5 Nice quick fire. Just a quick. Well, it's. 00;58;50;05 - 00;58;50;18 Speaker 3 Just five. 00;58;50;18 - 00;58;51;05 Speaker 4 Hours. Yeah. 00;58;51;05 - 00;58;52;07 Speaker 3 There's no secret right now. 00;58;52;24 - 00;58;54;00 Speaker 1 That's like a half day of gaming. 00;58;54;24 - 00;58;55;04 Speaker 3 You know. 00;58;55;15 - 00;59;10;01 Speaker 1 That sort of thing. But I was just like, it would be fun to play, and I. What I'm getting at is just. I didn't go out of my way to look it up and see what it was. I was just I was just able to have fun and play the game at my own pace. And then I was like, Oh, this is actually really enjoyable. 00;59;10;01 - 00;59;16;12 Speaker 1 Let me go back and, you know, 100% like some of the maps to get stuff or all this do all the side quests. And I was like. 00;59;17;05 - 00;59;27;19 Speaker 4 Yeah, that's kind of cool that like the, the, the platinum like objective is so close once you finish with the main storyline. So then a tax incentive, you're like, Oh yeah, yeah, it's right there. I can go do it. 00;59;27;19 - 00;59;49;25 Speaker 1 Yeah. Then that's primarily what I'll do with game, is if there's a game that I'm really looking forward to, I'll, I'll take a look and see what's required. Like if it's a goal, I have to play it twice. Do I have to play it on a hard, hard difficulty once or that sort of thing? And if it is like a game that I'm looking forward to and I'm probably going to platinum, I will end up playing it on Easy just to understand the story, the lines or stuff, and then I'll go back and play. 00;59;49;25 - 01;00;09;02 Speaker 1 On the harder difficulty. Now I understand the concept. I'm not banging my head against a wall trying to beat something and then it it's completely out of it. Or if it's like something where it's Assassin's Creed and it's like 100 hours to do it, I'm like, I just want to play the storyline and I just don't really care about the platinum do that, but I of think I even touched any of the DLC for that game yet. 01;00;09;02 - 01;00;12;18 Speaker 1 So. But all right. Which was number four for you. 01;00;13;04 - 01;00;13;29 Speaker 3 Number four. 01;00;14;13 - 01;00;33;22 Speaker 4 Mobile snap. Oh oh and yes yeah so I pick more. What's that? Because any game that gets me to rethink an entire genre or become interested in an entire genre is, is a game that really sets up high on my list and that's a that's. 01;00;33;22 - 01;00;35;25 Speaker 5 A player error point actually. Yeah. 01;00;35;26 - 01;01;03;00 Speaker 4 I'm not a I'm not a card game player. I don't never did magic Hearthstone. I played and I realized I suck at these games so unemployment anymore there was Marvel step Exactly. Marvel made the you know their entry point low enough and interesting enough because the randomness of the locations is that equalizer. You still you can still succeed. 01;01;03;00 - 01;01;19;11 Speaker 4 You know, if you have like a good deck. So you still have that separation of people who are really good at this versus people that are more casual. But it just it makes it so if you're more casual, you can go further in the game and still have a good time and still have a chance to win versus somebody who may be a little bit more steely. 01;01;20;14 - 01;01;36;16 Speaker 4 And then of course, it's, you know, Marvel characters and it's cool. And some of the stuff they do with their abilities in the visuals and stuff and then the cool little variants are really cool also because like you get a character and you get the variant of it's a different art style and it's like, Wow, this is actually really fun and interesting to look at. 01;01;36;18 - 01;01;38;28 Speaker 3 The variants is so cool. Yeah. 01;01;39;10 - 01;01;40;09 Speaker 4 I mean, the thing is this what's. 01;01;40;09 - 01;01;40;27 Speaker 2 Your, what does. 01;01;40;27 - 01;01;41;16 Speaker 4 It require? 01;01;42;25 - 01;01;46;09 Speaker 3 Oh, and the second question you can think about. 01;01;46;14 - 01;01;48;10 Speaker 2 Is I know this game's further up on your list, but. 01;01;49;00 - 01;02;00;23 Speaker 4 What is my favorite variant, Right? You know, hold on. Let me let me let me pop it open real quick because like I do like the Miles Morales one, there's the game. 01;02;01;09 - 01;02;01;21 Speaker 3 Pass. 01;02;02;03 - 01;02;06;06 Speaker 4 No, I don't think it's the one that gave away the battle pass. It might have been. 01;02;06;12 - 01;02;07;11 Speaker 5 Kid just variants. 01;02;08;03 - 01;02;14;05 Speaker 4 Yeah. If you go into your card. Yeah. If you go to your card list, it shows you everything, the variants and otherwise. 01;02;14;10 - 01;02;14;14 Speaker 3 It. 01;02;15;03 - 01;02;16;04 Speaker 5 Even picks The ones. 01;02;16;04 - 01;02;19;15 Speaker 2 Are my absolute favorite. I don't know why, but they just I just absolutely. 01;02;19;17 - 01;02;20;26 Speaker 1 Like the baby ones. They're great. 01;02;21;21 - 01;02;22;00 Speaker 4 Ones are. 01;02;22;00 - 01;02;23;01 Speaker 2 Good ones. They're good too. 01;02;23;21 - 01;02;28;21 Speaker 4 So do you mean like my style? The style of hair? You don't want to like the specific card. That very. 01;02;29;09 - 01;02;31;23 Speaker 2 Specific card. I didn't get that far into the game, too. Really? I don't know. 01;02;31;28 - 01;02;35;20 Speaker 5 I usually. I don't know of. Oh, it says a top variant like Kim. Yeah. 01;02;35;23 - 01;02;36;29 Speaker 3 Look as I say anymore. 01;02;37;00 - 01;02;37;17 Speaker 2 That kid. 01;02;37;17 - 01;02;38;08 Speaker 5 Yeah I see. 01;02;38;08 - 01;02;45;05 Speaker 4 Yeah. I can't remember which one it is but it's the, the Miles Morales one. Like here I can show you what it is. We see it in the screen. It's this one. Oh, I don't have. 01;02;45;05 - 01;02;47;04 Speaker 5 To tell you. Yeah, yeah, yeah. 01;02;47;20 - 01;02;56;09 Speaker 4 I like that one. You know, I've been a big fan of, like, Miles Morales into the Spider-verse came out. And even before that, when they introduced the character, I'm like, This is actually a really cool thing to do. 01;02;56;17 - 01;02;57;08 Speaker 2 But, like, have that. 01;02;57;08 - 01;03;14;10 Speaker 4 And then, and then obviously some of the black stuff for obvious reasons. But like there are others that I've looked at, I'm like, Oh, that was actually pretty cool. So I don't know if like that that would be the one that stood out the most to me when I saw that, I'm like, Okay, I really got to have this one the second all the other Miles Morales So he's like falling backwards off the building or whatever that was. 01;03;14;10 - 01;03;14;21 Speaker 5 Yeah. 01;03;15;07 - 01;03;16;18 Speaker 4 I guess that was pretty cool too. 01;03;16;18 - 01;03;18;16 Speaker 2 What's the highest when you got you can go? 01;03;20;01 - 01;03;20;17 Speaker 3 Oh. 01;03;21;09 - 01;03;22;10 Speaker 5 Legendary. I don't remember. 01;03;22;27 - 01;03;23;03 Speaker 3 That. 01;03;23;08 - 01;03;25;01 Speaker 2 Yeah, I mean you get that ultra. 01;03;25;01 - 01;03;26;01 Speaker 5 Ultra shiny. 01;03;26;01 - 01;03;27;25 Speaker 3 Logo. 01;03;27;25 - 01;03;33;13 Speaker 4 That's the other best thing about it. Like what you do level up because like. Like, Yeah. Frame break. 01;03;34;08 - 01;03;35;24 Speaker 3 Brady Yeah. 01;03;35;28 - 01;03;40;11 Speaker 4 Whoever came up with that, it was just like, this has got to be super cheesy and campy and everybody loved it. 01;03;40;12 - 01;03;41;01 Speaker 3 Yeah, but it still. 01;03;42;02 - 01;03;51;00 Speaker 2 Is like it's on brand for like comics and yeah, kind of esthetic, yeah. You know, And this is genuinely so good. 01;03;51;08 - 01;03;51;26 Speaker 5 It's so good. 01;03;52;05 - 01;03;54;18 Speaker 3 So that so to go. 01;03;54;18 - 01;03;58;14 Speaker 4 Back to another game that we don't talk about anymore. Yeah, we'll feature evolution. 01;03;59;10 - 01;04;02;10 Speaker 3 No, no, no, no, no. That's another, another game. 01;04;02;10 - 01;04;20;27 Speaker 4 Yeah. Oh, why are these on Marvel games? No, the future evolution game. Pascal, one of the coolest things I liked about it was that the oh, can't hear what they're actually called, but they were the comic book covers, right? And you would collect the comic book covers for extra abilities and things like that. That is a cool, nice touch into, you know, the IP, the media, whatever. 01;04;21;06 - 01;04;32;28 Speaker 4 And it's, it's informative, right? So it's like, Oh, wow, This was actually a character in a comic book and this is the comic book cover. So if I wanted to go read more about this character, I could find this comic book cover or whatever, right? 01;04;32;28 - 01;04;33;07 Speaker 3 Yeah. 01;04;34;07 - 01;04;42;07 Speaker 4 And it was great when somebody was like, Oh my God, I actually have this comic book. Bam! Yeah, yeah, that's what I'm for. 01;04;42;28 - 01;04;54;27 Speaker 2 Gotcha. Josh Okay, so my number four, I guarantee you that none of you have probably played it. It's a game on Steam called Hands of Necromancy. So yeah, I know you guys probably. 01;04;54;27 - 01;04;55;26 Speaker 1 Heard me, picked it up and. 01;04;55;26 - 01;05;04;12 Speaker 2 Played it. I know you guys are we talking about this earlier this year? But it's essentially a modern day game that was designed by like a small team of guys or. 01;05;04;13 - 01;05;05;03 Speaker 5 Was doom. 01;05;05;03 - 01;05;10;25 Speaker 2 People. It's it's a Doom four. So it's like Jackson or like heretic from the nineties. So. 01;05;10;25 - 01;05;12;16 Speaker 5 Oh, yes, cause this is cool again. 01;05;13;00 - 01;05;14;19 Speaker 2 Oh dude, it's the shit like. 01;05;14;19 - 01;05;15;04 Speaker 5 It is really cool. 01;05;15;13 - 01;05;17;13 Speaker 3 It's basically a. 01;05;17;16 - 01;05;24;05 Speaker 2 How do you want to call it like 16 bit? I don't know. I don't know where you would call that. Actually, I'll just. 01;05;24;05 - 01;05;25;04 Speaker 4 Say retro. 01;05;25;13 - 01;05;27;06 Speaker 2 Yeah, retro. It's definitely. 01;05;27;07 - 01;05;27;15 Speaker 5 Central. 01;05;27;19 - 01;05;27;25 Speaker 3 Yeah. 01;05;27;25 - 01;05;45;24 Speaker 2 I would say it's like a modern style retro. Get exactly what you used. Yeah, that was it. So you basically walk around, you get spells and, you know, there's crazy looking demonic creatures and, you know, that's your necromancer. So it gets it's the shit I saw Guy playing on stream and I picked it up for, like, I think I should. 01;05;45;24 - 01;05;56;23 Speaker 2 I pay for it. It was like $9 or something, but I played through. I actually beat it. I couldn't believe I actually played the whole game because it was so good. And the spells get like insane. Oh, towards the end of the game it's super fun. 01;05;57;04 - 01;06;03;23 Speaker 1 So I was, I was really bummed. It's not steam compatible like I like a steam deck about it wasn't. 01;06;03;23 - 01;06;05;23 Speaker 2 Oh oh okay. 01;06;05;23 - 01;06;19;25 Speaker 1 I steam I bought it. I bought it for my trip to Japan. I was like, Oh, I want to play this. I'm playing because I have 13 hours on a flight and it just I couldn't get it to work. Yeah, it's like, like, hey, this might have compatibility issues. And I was like, Oh, it's make it work. And no one working. 01;06;19;25 - 01;06;37;22 Speaker 2 On like, anybody or anybody that's like our age group, I would say, would definitely be, you know, back in our day, like Dom said, it's like doom. But they turned it into this like kind of, yeah, I don't know. You're a necromancer. 01;06;37;22 - 01;06;39;11 Speaker 5 And pretty much if you're a boomer, you're going enjoy it. 01;06;39;21 - 01;06;41;03 Speaker 2 Yeah, I guess so. Yeah. 01;06;41;15 - 01;06;46;12 Speaker 4 I wouldn't say like back in your day, your generation I think I'm like ten years older than you guys are. 01;06;47;00 - 01;06;49;29 Speaker 3 Well, I mean, so. So even still, you you d were. 01;06;49;29 - 01;06;52;07 Speaker 2 You a gamer during that period in time? So you. 01;06;52;12 - 01;06;52;26 Speaker 3 See, the thing. 01;06;52;26 - 01;06;59;05 Speaker 2 Is, is like I didn't have access to all that good shit. So, like, I kind of was a gamer older than I was. Huh? Am I a gamer? Yeah. 01;06;59;05 - 01;07;00;28 Speaker 4 So was I a gamer? Come on. 01;07;00;28 - 01;07;02;12 Speaker 2 Man. Life just like us. So I've been a. 01;07;02;12 - 01;07;04;00 Speaker 4 Gamer since the Atari 2600. 01;07;04;03 - 01;07;06;07 Speaker 5 Game one with a s and he has control, and then. 01;07;06;14 - 01;07;06;29 Speaker 2 I love it. 01;07;07;06 - 01;07;08;11 Speaker 4 It was. Yeah, exactly. 01;07;09;07 - 01;07;23;29 Speaker 2 Yeah. So this, this game was was easily one of my favorite games this year because it's not something that I expected to come out nor that I asked for. But I just saw it and I was like, I got to try this out like, so there you go. Dom. 01;07;25;11 - 01;07;43;14 Speaker 5 My number four is straight. Yeah, really straight. I think a stray was kind of a surprise because obviously, like, Yeah, like what? Like what you said to have, like, obviously, like I'm going to play Stray as a cat dad and now an orange cat that. Do I have an orange cat now what? 01;07;43;20 - 01;07;44;10 Speaker 2 You know. 01;07;44;25 - 01;08;08;05 Speaker 5 Yes. No, but I was like kind of surprised by how much I enjoyed it. And I think it was necessarily that like because the story story's really good. The art is really good. It's like, obviously, like different from pretty much playing a cat simulator, you know? But even though I was really good, I was kind of surprised by how, like, I don't know, maybe not enamored and ever, maybe too strong. 01;08;08;05 - 01;08;25;13 Speaker 5 But I was like, I just really enjoyed just like the esthetic of the game, you know what I mean? Like, I don't know, like the game. I just had it really hit it. It scratched it for me that I was surprised. Scratch, you know, And that's I don't know if that's a cat bone, cat, pun intended or whatever. 01;08;26;16 - 01;08;48;17 Speaker 5 Yeah, I just thought it was beautiful. The story was cool. Obviously they did a good job. I think of like having cat mechanics, you know what I mean? Like, like the like playing as the cat. Like, felt like pretty like real my cats and give a shit about it. I'll tell you that right now. They didn't they didn't give a fuck about like, you know, like nothing about it was like enticing for them. 01;08;48;17 - 01;09;08;15 Speaker 5 They don't give a shit like we have. We have fish and for like a day they looked at it like, Oh, what's this thing? And they didn't give a shit. They are like a bunch of fucking idiot spies love the death. But yeah, I just thought it was beautiful. I just really enjoyed. I just. I just, like, thoroughly enjoyed it to a point where I'm like, You know what this is like, This is in the top for me. 01;09;08;15 - 01;09;09;10 Speaker 5 I think, you know. 01;09;10;22 - 01;09;12;20 Speaker 2 It it want to bring some words to it. 01;09;13;00 - 01;09;14;04 Speaker 3 As it does. Yeah. 01;09;14;13 - 01;09;18;13 Speaker 5 Do it almost one game of the year. It was in the. It was in the running. 01;09;18;16 - 01;09;21;13 Speaker 2 You kidding me. Conspiracy shit up, dude. Like, I mean. 01;09;21;16 - 01;09;23;11 Speaker 4 I think we all know it wasn't going to win Game of. 01;09;23;11 - 01;09;28;07 Speaker 3 The year, though. No, no, no, no. Of course, of course. But I should. Honestly, it shouldn't have. 01;09;28;07 - 01;09;28;26 Speaker 2 I mean, I. 01;09;29;01 - 01;09;31;27 Speaker 5 Like the fact that it was in the nominees, is what I'm saying. 01;09;31;29 - 01;09;32;12 Speaker 3 Yeah, yeah. 01;09;32;28 - 01;09;46;29 Speaker 5 Yeah. Was was I think fairly it's it was impressive because I think it just showed how much everyone enjoyed that game. But people that didn't play video games are playing it because they're like oh this Kukoc game, whatever. And they played like they. 01;09;46;29 - 01;09;51;06 Speaker 2 Did one game of the year over God of War or Elden Ring Like people. 01;09;51;15 - 01;09;52;16 Speaker 5 On the internet. 01;09;52;16 - 01;09;55;03 Speaker 3 What all lost their mind is that kind. 01;09;55;03 - 01;09;56;00 Speaker 4 Of wanted to see that. 01;09;56;00 - 01;09;59;28 Speaker 3 Actual game over times like why this. 01;10;00;16 - 01;10;03;28 Speaker 5 Now wouldn't happen that's going to have a donut here a meeting Sorry. 01;10;04;21 - 01;10;06;10 Speaker 2 The problem Oh you forget you have a. 01;10;06;10 - 01;10;06;27 Speaker 1 Donut. 01;10;07;26 - 01;10;09;21 Speaker 5 There's this really good bakery in the neighborhood. 01;10;09;29 - 01;10;11;19 Speaker 2 I need to see it, dude, I didn't like it. 01;10;12;06 - 01;10;28;14 Speaker 5 You you will never know what day that the bakeries open like you could. You can go there on like 11 p.m. on a Tuesday and it might be open. You just don't you never you don't ever know Carmelo's a makers they make amazing stuff Mallory is walking by yesterday they're open she got some donuts She had this chocolate old fashioned. 01;10;28;19 - 01;10;32;28 Speaker 5 I'm going to mute myself because a bag is loud. But I want It's a chocolate Old-Fashioned idea Half of it it is. 01;10;33;23 - 01;10;35;15 Speaker 2 I need to see this. I need to see this done. 01;10;35;27 - 01;10;49;25 Speaker 4 So. So it has to be one of those things where you're just like, lucky. You know, this seems like that's like a setup of an episode of Seinfeld, the donut shop that you may or may not be open. I could just see them standing out in front of the, like, always trying to go to the shop. It's always closed. 01;10;49;29 - 01;11;02;25 Speaker 5 Well, it's definitely one of those bakeries that like they're doing. They're like doing specialty stuff more so. And so if you just get lucky, you know, go in there when they're open, it's like, Oh, I'm going to get a fire Kishore Donut or something. Yes, I'm sorry, Charlie, You're number four. 01;11;04;04 - 01;11;31;18 Speaker 1 Number four for me. Yeah. I got to have one of those donuts When Josh comes out. Number four for me is Final Fantasy. Strangers of Paradise. Really, really enjoyed that game. I really liked the fresh take on the combat system that they had with it. And I liked how it was. It's maybe I'm just I'm getting into more of the looter shooter kind of stuff because I felt like Diablo asked with like, you know, Final Fantasy RPG elements to it. 01;11;31;18 - 01;11;55;20 Speaker 1 So I really enjoyed that game and the story in that game like I normally do, like the Final Fantasy games because the stories are very weird for me, convoluted, like wildly over-the-top, and it's just like, I don't know, it's just like it's not my style storytelling whatsoever, but the, the, the turn and the twisted that in the game like, gripped me. 01;11;55;24 - 01;11;57;00 Speaker 1 And I was just like. 01;11;57;00 - 01;12;00;21 Speaker 3 What the fuck is this? Yeah, it's a pretty cool just like. 01;12;02;04 - 01;12;02;25 Speaker 1 Quite literally. 01;12;02;25 - 01;12;09;07 Speaker 5 I agree that I agree. The story, the Final Fantasy, probably the biggest that turn me off to final because I just. I just don't ever get them. 01;12;09;24 - 01;12;13;00 Speaker 3 Yeah. Yeah. They're. It's just. It's just so weird. 01;12;13;12 - 01;12;32;29 Speaker 5 I attribute final fantasy stories to like, the weird art kid at school that they tried to make, like, the most, like, deep, weird story and just like, Oh, oh, man. So my father turned into this giant monster. And he actually is the embodiment of sin and he is trying to swallow the earth. It is up to me to stop. 01;12;33;00 - 01;12;36;19 Speaker 5 You know, I have to use technology, biotechnology, side of things. He had a nutshell. 01;12;37;09 - 01;12;38;10 Speaker 3 What? Yeah, Yeah. 01;12;38;10 - 01;12;43;12 Speaker 5 What is happening in this? What is actually happening right now? That's what it's like. Sometimes it's. 01;12;44;13 - 01;13;01;29 Speaker 1 Yeah. Or it's like the over over romanticized literally everything that's in the final fantasy game at all like especially in crisis Corey where you just like it's like having sort things like it's like, no, we cannot do this because the guy's quoting level. It's like this play or whatever. I think he does it in the PSP version too. 01;13;01;29 - 01;13;05;24 Speaker 1 If I remember correctly, he's like, this thing that's happening because. 01;13;05;24 - 01;13;12;03 Speaker 3 The gift of the goddess and the guy's like, We got to go. Now we go like, what going on? 01;13;12;10 - 01;13;15;15 Speaker 2 I think I'm playing my PSP with right here. 01;13;17;06 - 01;13;18;05 Speaker 3 Look what game. 01;13;18;19 - 01;13;21;28 Speaker 5 Wait, this is a modern game that's on PSP and God. 01;13;22;03 - 01;13;22;21 Speaker 4 You know, it sort of. 01;13;22;21 - 01;13;23;13 Speaker 1 Was originally. 01;13;24;07 - 01;13;25;02 Speaker 4 UMD. 01;13;25;06 - 01;13;26;18 Speaker 3 Oh, is this a remake or something? 01;13;26;28 - 01;13;27;14 Speaker 1 Yeah, that's a review. 01;13;27;16 - 01;13;27;21 Speaker 4 Yeah. 01;13;27;21 - 01;13;28;29 Speaker 5 Oh, I was like, are they still. 01;13;28;29 - 01;13;30;25 Speaker 3 Making game PSP? 01;13;30;25 - 01;13;46;26 Speaker 1 No, it came out in 2007. I think it's something was when I came out. So I actually played it on PSP originally. I don't remember any of the game gameplay whatsoever, but I was like, there was a point in time where I was like stuck on something. I was like, Where the fuck do I get this? One thing I looked at? 01;13;46;26 - 01;13;52;20 Speaker 1 I was like, post from 2000 like nine, about the same place. It was the same location too. I was like. 01;13;53;03 - 01;13;54;22 Speaker 3 Wow, Yeah. 01;13;55;09 - 01;13;56;23 Speaker 1 Yeah, you'll have it. You'll have a good time. 01;13;56;23 - 01;13;58;07 Speaker 3 GRADO Yeah. 01;13;58;16 - 01;14;06;22 Speaker 2 I know. Will. So will my friend Michael, who is also waiting to play the game because he's not a bitch that goes in Platinum's the game. Why is. 01;14;06;22 - 01;14;08;24 Speaker 3 Oh. 01;14;08;24 - 01;14;09;09 Speaker 2 Just kidding. 01;14;09;09 - 01;14;12;14 Speaker 5 I'm just kidding. Yeah. Now Savage tells me you really feel. 01;14;14;18 - 01;14;15;09 Speaker 1 I don't know if I can. 01;14;15;19 - 01;14;17;21 Speaker 3 Know the words, I think. 01;14;17;29 - 01;14;20;01 Speaker 1 All right, number three. Huge. What you got? 01;14;20;22 - 01;14;21;03 Speaker 3 All right. 01;14;21;07 - 01;14;37;07 Speaker 4 Oh, sorry. Number three for me, it the best $3 I've ever had someone else spend, and that would be vampire survivors gifted me that game. I didn't buy it. He did give to me because he was. Yeah, you were talking about it. And I made a joke in chat. 01;14;37;12 - 01;14;38;23 Speaker 3 Like, Oh, yeah, dude, you just. 01;14;38;23 - 01;14;42;03 Speaker 4 Totally. Just give to Everybody was really that good. And you're like, Yeah, sure, send me. 01;14;42;11 - 01;14;47;00 Speaker 3 I'll give it to you. Hey, I'm glad. Yeah, I'm glad it. 01;14;47;01 - 01;14;49;01 Speaker 5 Wasn't so much is on your, your top, dude. 01;14;49;05 - 01;14;49;19 Speaker 3 Oh, yeah. 01;14;49;24 - 01;14;51;10 Speaker 4 That's $3 you spent this year. 01;14;52;14 - 01;14;55;25 Speaker 1 Yes. That's great. On stage two, who's, like, my favorite game on steam deck. 01;14;56;04 - 01;15;04;10 Speaker 4 Yeah. I mean, I lost track of how many hours I put into that game playing. Apologies. You hear my kid in the background? 01;15;04;24 - 01;15;06;11 Speaker 5 I was here last weekend. Kids. 01;15;06;27 - 01;15;07;20 Speaker 3 Oh, my God. 01;15;08;00 - 01;15;13;27 Speaker 4 He was. He was watching the World Cup, and I guess the game just ended or something. But I'm about to go out there and slap the crap of them. Tell me, Shut the hell up. 01;15;15;01 - 01;15;17;01 Speaker 3 How did I get acquired? 01;15;17;18 - 01;15;40;19 Speaker 4 Yeah, Yeah, exactly. But like. Like I'm not similar to marbles that this is another game that brought in a new genre for me that I normally don't engage with. And it was because it was just it was just cool. Like the retro graphics were one thing, but it was about trying to that great build like that. You could just you just it was it was it was a shooter like I can't what they call them now. 01;15;41;11 - 01;15;58;02 Speaker 4 Bullet hell, it was a bullet hell game. But you were causing a bullet. Hell, I'm like, that's actually pretty frickin cool concept to flip it. Yeah. And he just blowing through or mowing through everything. And it had very characters enough that like, Oh, well, what if I try this one? You know, unfortunately, it wound up getting to a point. 01;15;58;02 - 01;16;15;08 Speaker 4 Like, regardless of the character, it was just about spending enough time to be able to get these exact items and then this exact build, and then you just run through and destroy everything. Yeah, but then it was still pretty cool to see, like what else was out there. Unfortunately, they hit their 1.0 version or whatever were they? They did a big update and I never had a chance to. 01;16;15;08 - 01;16;16;16 Speaker 3 Actually frickin. 01;16;16;16 - 01;16;17;11 Speaker 4 Go back and really. 01;16;17;11 - 01;16;18;19 Speaker 2 Play too much. Oh yeah. 01;16;18;19 - 01;16;40;12 Speaker 4 But I will still give them I still be on number three on my list because of all the time I spent playing it prior to that and the recognition of that, it is still a great and fun game and seeing it released on so many platforms just adds to that validity of like, this is a great game because it went from this small $3 game on Steam to being like everywhere. 01;16;41;04 - 01;16;56;25 Speaker 1 Yeah, I was active on like that subreddit for a while and, and the developers are on there too and like, sorry, we're like have to increase the price of the game by a dollar to $4, right. In order to make to help the like with costs everyone's like okay. 01;16;58;16 - 01;17;02;19 Speaker 3 Yeah, yeah. Oh darn. $4 Yeah we have to do it. 01;17;02;19 - 01;17;04;25 Speaker 1 So it's, it's just, just funny I guess. 01;17;05;10 - 01;17;08;19 Speaker 4 But I mean, but we got we're on. 01;17;08;19 - 01;17;09;15 Speaker 2 We are number three. 01;17;10;03 - 01;17;11;07 Speaker 4 Number three. Yeah. 01;17;12;27 - 01;17;15;04 Speaker 2 Final Fantasy, Strangers of Paradise. 01;17;16;03 - 01;17;20;15 Speaker 5 Okay. He has a he has a he's like, ready physical. He's like, Yeah, I was born. 01;17;20;15 - 01;17;25;12 Speaker 2 I guess I actually realized it, but I messed up because I forgot to talk about these two. But it's okay. 01;17;25;24 - 01;17;30;27 Speaker 5 We we was like how We was at the Digital Game Cowabunga Collection. 01;17;30;27 - 01;17;32;23 Speaker 3 What was within the collection? 01;17;32;28 - 01;17;34;21 Speaker 5 Would that have been an honorable mention? 01;17;35;02 - 01;17;37;08 Speaker 2 These two were going to be honorable mentions. Yes. 01;17;37;08 - 01;17;42;11 Speaker 5 I meant to do the Cowabunga collection. I should have that. And Freddy's revenge. Both of them. 01;17;42;16 - 01;18;02;16 Speaker 2 Yeah. This is. This is like, Oh, I forgot I had them in my stack over here. Live Alive is just basically like a RPG game from it's where it was a remake from the nineties that was on Super Nintendo. Just a cool RPG game. Gen RPG. This one, the Cowabunga collection has like all of the old school team and D games. 01;18;02;16 - 01;18;13;14 Speaker 2 I don't know, there's a shitload of them on here. Yeah. And it was like 30 bucks. I'm like a done deal. Although I see GameStop as a bitch. I wanted this on the switch and they gave it to me. I'm like, I mean. 01;18;13;26 - 01;18;15;07 Speaker 3 It's GameStop. 01;18;15;07 - 01;18;16;18 Speaker 2 I know, man. I know. 01;18;17;00 - 01;18;19;11 Speaker 1 No tricks on switch, bro. 01;18;19;11 - 01;18;25;01 Speaker 3 The truth is. 01;18;25;01 - 01;18;30;11 Speaker 2 Yeah. So if I made a stranger Paradise games, the shit felt like the. 01;18;30;14 - 01;18;31;23 Speaker 1 DLC come out. 01;18;31;23 - 01;18;33;16 Speaker 2 I don't think the DLC has come out yet. 01;18;34;28 - 01;18;37;12 Speaker 1 I preordered it because it was a good. It was good. I was very. 01;18;37;12 - 01;19;02;04 Speaker 2 Much yeah, I'm very much going to be playing. The combat in the game was awesome, dude. Like, I pray that that is similar to how the combat system is in 2016 because it was leaps and bounds better. Good. What they did in 15. Oh so good. It was super fun. You could just you could switch between different combat styles, like whether whether you wanted to be physical or spell seamlessly. 01;19;02;05 - 01;19;12;17 Speaker 2 And that was like one of the biggest gripes for me about all Final Fantasy games is that all 15 was just suck ass. But Anyways. 01;19;13;03 - 01;19;13;17 Speaker 1 That's fun. 01;19;14;07 - 01;19;33;08 Speaker 2 I thought it's like that, but I that easily. My my the biggest flop in the history of mankind was Final Fantasy 15 for me, but no stranger to Paradise, on the other hand, was the shit. And I'm looking forward to more games being like this. I like the origin story. I bet a lot of people didn't know about this story because they don't. 01;19;33;08 - 01;19;33;27 Speaker 1 I didn't know about it. 01;19;34;04 - 01;19;47;25 Speaker 2 Yeah. Yeah. A lot of people don't follow like the back story of what happened in like, obviously one, two, three, five and six. And most y'all know like seven and up because that's really where like the level of entry hit four. Yeah. 01;19;47;28 - 01;19;50;02 Speaker 4 Most year seven was huge. 01;19;50;02 - 01;20;10;20 Speaker 2 Yeah. Yeah. Two and three which are really four and six in Japan. Japan were the only ones that released in North America outside of our fancy one and pharmacy one. I mean didn't really I mean it had a storyline but yeah, I mean it was like one of the first games on Nintendo. So it's, you know, it can be hard to tell a story. 01;20;10;23 - 01;20;19;06 Speaker 2 It yeah, it's really hard to hard to tell a story on that system. But anyways, this kind of tells the intro to what happens if AC one. 01;20;19;06 - 01;20;20;02 Speaker 3 Um hmm. 01;20;21;04 - 01;20;29;06 Speaker 2 Which I hope they do more stuff like that. More games like this one. Offs that aren't part of the Canon series. Why it is canon, but it's not. 01;20;30;07 - 01;20;30;19 Speaker 5 Yeah. 01;20;31;08 - 01;20;35;19 Speaker 2 You know one of the numbered parts of this, I don't know. 01;20;35;27 - 01;20;37;27 Speaker 4 It's like Rogue One to Star Wars kind of thing. 01;20;38;01 - 01;20;39;27 Speaker 2 Yeah. Yeah. Yep. Yep. 01;20;40;13 - 01;20;43;08 Speaker 1 Same universe, but it's its own standalone project. Yep, yep. 01;20;43;08 - 01;21;02;07 Speaker 2 Yep, yep. So hopefully do more like it for fun my friend. And only that it was multiplayer that was out that that was. That was the best part of it is that my best friend and I played the whole thing together and although the I on the third person was a dipshit and would often run off and get himself get himself. 01;21;02;07 - 01;21;02;26 Speaker 3 Killed. 01;21;03;06 - 01;21;10;09 Speaker 2 And he and I would just be like doing everything by ourselves because Homeboy was dead and would use up all of our resurrections that we could use for that fight. 01;21;10;26 - 01;21;11;24 Speaker 3 And just leaving him. 01;21;11;24 - 01;21;18;23 Speaker 2 Dead. Like most nights we would just leave him dead because he would just waste all our token rest tokens and like we were just like, Fuck this. Like, just let die. 01;21;19;06 - 01;21;20;09 Speaker 3 Like is standing. 01;21;20;09 - 01;21;22;03 Speaker 2 And Aoki's and things like that. It's like. 01;21;22;20 - 01;21;25;20 Speaker 3 What are you doing? 01;21;25;20 - 01;21;27;11 Speaker 4 We were just nothing so worse than that. 01;21;27;14 - 01;21;42;09 Speaker 2 I Yeah, we should be talking shit about the air the whole time, which, you know, it just became like, ah, meme for like, oh, here, here he goes it in the face. Thank the boss. Why don't you? And that was, that was another fun thing that we had to forgive. 01;21;42;17 - 01;21;43;08 Speaker 4 Use a decoy. 01;21;43;11 - 01;21;59;16 Speaker 2 Online part of it. But that was, that was actually the best part. And not only that, the you know, you were talking about UI's earlier, like the UI for the game. Playing online was really, really easy for us to do everything. So which, you know, not something you see in a lot of our Final fantasy games. So yeah. 01;21;59;16 - 01;22;04;15 Speaker 1 Yeah. When did the deal? So when the DLC drops, pick it back up would be great. 01;22;04;20 - 01;22;05;03 Speaker 3 Oh, you want. 01;22;05;03 - 01;22;09;02 Speaker 2 To platinum the DLC together? 01;22;09;02 - 01;22;11;10 Speaker 1 There's no plan. I mean, it's just getting the trophies or. 01;22;11;10 - 01;22;12;03 Speaker 2 Yeah, whatever. 01;22;12;21 - 01;22;13;13 Speaker 3 But yes, I do. 01;22;14;22 - 01;22;20;11 Speaker 2 Yeah, we'll see how that goes. All right, Mr. John, Let's hear you're numero trace. 01;22;21;09 - 01;22;44;12 Speaker 5 Also vampire survivors. Yeah, it would have been. It would have been higher up, except for my one and two are still. Are still bangers. Yeah. Vampire survivors. Who told me about this? I think it was my buddy Chuck who told me about it. Who? He's the one I did that podcast we don't do anymore. But we did the one podcast, but we streamed Game of the Beer Together Video series. 01;22;44;14 - 01;22;45;27 Speaker 4 Gave me the beer. Yeah, yeah, yeah. 01;22;46;14 - 01;22;53;24 Speaker 5 He told me about it. And I was just like, Oh, whatever. This was cute. And it was just so fucking cheap. I was like, I don't care. And then I was like, Oh, I'm just now playing this all the got, you know? 01;22;54;03 - 01;22;56;16 Speaker 3 I have. 01;22;56;16 - 01;23;16;11 Speaker 5 I have given up a little bit because I can't. I know there are ways to progress further, but I just can't. I've never been deaf. I feel like the builds I do kind of just at this point, I'm just like getting I'm hitting a wall, which at some point I'll probably like, want to get further into it, Just look up guides on how to like, get further in. 01;23;16;11 - 01;23;39;18 Speaker 5 Well, what it just like silly fun game and also like kind of as like a like low key more in extensive game than I think you think like when you just look at it from a face value and you're like, oh, like if I get that I am this, I don't know, give me the special item. And you're like, Oh, I have all these special I to work together, Oh, maybe I could build this, I could do this, build where it's like this, really, this, whatever. 01;23;39;18 - 01;23;54;27 Speaker 5 So it was more than I thought it was going to be when I first looked at it. And I think that's what they hooked me into so much, was trying to do different funny stuff in how it is. Yeah, yeah. And you know, now we got like new guys. We just had so much new stuff, which is really cool. 01;23;54;27 - 01;24;16;06 Speaker 5 So I really liked it. I am still going to keep playing it. I have it, I'm taking it well. I've only really even stopped playing it probably because like, you know, in terms of games that, I just like, well, we'll talk about this further. And there are a few other games that when I'm just not doing something I'll play and that you know, but that's not really in that spot anymore. 01;24;16;06 - 01;24;24;29 Speaker 5 Even though like, yeah, I'm going to give away like other stuff. But yeah, numerous drivers number three type taking nice nice. 01;24;24;29 - 01;24;27;09 Speaker 1 Number three for me is Horizon Forbidden West. 01;24;27;14 - 01;24;28;16 Speaker 3 Oh I learned. 01;24;28;24 - 01;24;29;20 Speaker 1 Another one on the so at. 01;24;29;20 - 01;24;30;24 Speaker 2 Least one of us played it. 01;24;31;22 - 01;24;39;24 Speaker 1 At least. Yeah yeah it was I really enjoyed the first one. I really like that it was a gorilla studio as it does a game. 01;24;40;21 - 01;24;43;13 Speaker 4 Yeah, I think so. Yeah. Guerrilla gaming or whatever it is. 01;24;43;13 - 01;24;49;27 Speaker 1 Yeah, I, I came out of there. I just really, I really enjoyed the esthetics, the atmosphere. 01;24;50;04 - 01;24;52;07 Speaker 5 It looks. The environment looks so cool. 01;24;52;25 - 01;25;10;06 Speaker 1 Yeah, it looks. It looks gorgeous. I just really like the way they know something about that game. It's just like new. There's, like it's advanced tech, but it's also like, low tech because like, all, all are like, aren't very tech savvy, but then they take stuff from the tech stuff. I don't know. It was just the first one was great. 01;25;10;07 - 01;25;30;26 Speaker 1 I love the first one. I was like, Oh, maybe normally like a sequel is not as good as the first. I thought it was much better than the first, and they just improved upon everything on it, which is surprisingly like, you know, the division did. I think Division two did things a lot better than Division one, but then Division one had better modes on it that I like the Division two. 01;25;30;26 - 01;25;34;10 Speaker 1 But anyway, but yeah, number three, Me Horizon, Forbidden West is a great game. 01;25;35;03 - 01;25;36;00 Speaker 5 Oh, yeah, yeah. 01;25;36;04 - 01;25;36;27 Speaker 2 Getting down there. 01;25;37;29 - 01;25;40;08 Speaker 1 Yeah, yeah. All right. Number two. Hutch What you got? 01;25;41;00 - 01;25;45;10 Speaker 4 Number two, seafood. I loved that game. 01;25;45;12 - 01;25;46;17 Speaker 3 Okay, Seafood. 01;25;46;18 - 01;25;47;01 Speaker 5 I. 01;25;47;08 - 01;25;48;04 Speaker 4 Seafood, that. 01;25;48;04 - 01;25;53;25 Speaker 5 Is. I'm not surprised. I'm a little surprised. It's it. That's cool. That's right. 01;25;54;10 - 01;25;55;06 Speaker 4 Yeah. Yeah. 01;25;55;11 - 01;26;02;05 Speaker 5 Go after and there's like. It's like it has a cool part things not passing, but like, there's cool story stuff involved. Yeah that's that's so cool. 01;26;02;09 - 01;26;19;06 Speaker 4 Yeah. So I mean, it was a game where I love the progression system that was in it. I love the fact that it was it was an interesting take on how to handle being defeated. And you know, rather than just dying or whatever, you got older, right? And then you could you got you got stronger, but less help. 01;26;19;14 - 01;26;37;09 Speaker 4 Right? So it was like an interesting little cool thing to try. And then you try to progress through the game to stay as young as you could to get like achievements and things like that or, you know, and then there was there there's the system that they used improving your abilities and skills, like you could pass stuff, but then so it's like kind of like a rogue light, right? 01;26;37;09 - 01;26;53;23 Speaker 4 You would buy stuff and then if you died, you would lose some of that stuff, but then you could come back and get it to be like permanent. So in the next round you would always have it. It was just. And then of course, the story was actually pretty kind of cool. You know, you're going through avenging your, you know, the death of your master, who was your father or whatever, but not giving away too much. 01;26;53;23 - 01;27;14;11 Speaker 4 But in case anyone wants to go back and hasn't played it. But yeah, there's also the ability to you know, when you get to a boss, you have a decision to make on how you defeat them. And that also adds a little bit more to the story as to what you decide to do. In the end, that's what even then deciding to do. 01;27;14;11 - 01;27;34;14 Speaker 4 It isn't necessarily a decision. You have to actively do a thing differently in order to be able to get this alternate thing or get the secondary option in like even that, like the idea of running it and going, okay, I went into a situation in and I played it poorly. Okay, now I came back and I can try it again. 01;27;34;24 - 01;27;50;00 Speaker 4 Also, one of the coolest things is in the second level, you walk into a club and it's literally like, I would just get it so I would run in there. You know this dude with a stick, hit this dude with a bottle, kick a cricket to this other guy, blocked this one, puts the crap out of this guy through. 01;27;50;01 - 01;27;50;25 Speaker 4 So it was like. 01;27;50;25 - 01;27;51;13 Speaker 3 So. 01;27;51;14 - 01;28;00;24 Speaker 4 Pretty bad ass to be able to do that. Like, I haven't felt that much of a bad ass since I played superhot on VR. 01;28;01;23 - 01;28;03;09 Speaker 1 Right? Yeah, that's a great that's a great one. 01;28;03;16 - 01;28;13;18 Speaker 4 And yeah, that, that's the kind of thing where it's like, if I feel bad ass, you've made me feel like I'm a bad ass because I'm doing this thing correctly. Kudos. Good job. My number. 01;28;13;18 - 01;28;15;28 Speaker 1 Two. Oh yeah. Awesome. I didn't want to pick that up. 01;28;16;10 - 01;28;20;19 Speaker 5 But yeah, remember here about the gambling? Oh, this is cool that I honestly just completely forgot about it. 01;28;21;07 - 01;28;25;13 Speaker 4 Oh, God. This? Yeah. It's a lot of fun. Love it. 01;28;25;13 - 01;28;25;27 Speaker 1 Right? What you got? 01;28;25;27 - 01;28;28;22 Speaker 2 Josh, are you ready for this? You're going to be surprised. 01;28;28;29 - 01;28;29;18 Speaker 5 All ready for this? 01;28;29;20 - 01;28;34;29 Speaker 4 Just one. That's your number two? 01;28;35;14 - 01;28;35;28 Speaker 3 Yeah. 01;28;35;28 - 01;28;56;09 Speaker 2 I have reasons for why I put Elden ring at number two. Not that it's not worthy of being number one, because everybody knows. The listeners knows that I'm a huge Dark Souls fan and whatnot. Yeah. So I am the game. I'm just going to state that I had more fun playing the game. That's my number one than this one. 01;28;56;14 - 01;29;12;13 Speaker 2 Not that this isn't an incredible game. I think I'm just worn out on grinding through these kinds of games. Okay, I because I did, I did. I 100% at Dark Souls two I beat Dark Souls three I felt it secure. So I basically one. 01;29;12;13 - 01;29;13;10 Speaker 1 Hundred percent like that game. 01;29;13;23 - 01;29;42;09 Speaker 2 I wanted to present Bloodborne, not the DLC, but I 100% Bloodborne. I'm just like, I don't know, like it's fucking phenomenal. Like there's nothing wrong with the game. It's just, you know, I know one game of the year and it's I don't know if it's Charlie's number one or not, but it's fucking amazing. I mean, there's nothing there's nothing better than like having a horse and being able to get off and just, you know, chop people in half and, you know, beat the shit out of them with giant weapons and sorcery and things like that. 01;29;42;09 - 01;30;01;16 Speaker 2 Yeah, an open world. And it has every element you want in a game. I mean, it's it's insane. I didn't beat it, though. I did. I didn't. I really. I don't know if maybe because I'm just so stressed out with work and I like, you know, blood pressure problems. I kind of, like, didn't want to put myself in there because I know how I am. 01;30;01;16 - 01;30;20;04 Speaker 2 And I would like I like once I put my sights on being a boss, like I have to beat all the bosses in the game, you know? And I just didn't. And I maybe I will someday. But it is pretty much the shit though. The game is fucking fun as hell. And also it was really fun to be able to play with my friend because my friend Michael doesn't really my best friend they play games with. 01;30;20;04 - 01;30;38;08 Speaker 2 He doesn't, he doesn't play Dark Souls games, but I managed to like convince him to pick this up and he enjoyed it too, which, you know, and I think they just put out the patch with the with the PvP in it, like there's like Coliseum or something like that. And, and it looks super dope if you're into that category three or something like that. 01;30;38;08 - 01;30;57;03 Speaker 2 Yeah. Like there's like an actual, you know, PvP element to the game now and a lot of people are really, you know, especially streamers are going like all in on it, which is pretty cool because I think there's some insane builds you can do in the game and people are definitely showcasing some pretty ridiculous stuff that you can do. 01;30;58;01 - 01;30;59;27 Speaker 2 So yeah, but my number two. 01;31;00;18 - 01;31;12;22 Speaker 4 Oh yeah. Which I actually didn't tell you, is that his friend that played the game so good and so, so enamored with the game he changed his name to let me solo here and that's how he's friends with. 01;31;12;22 - 01;31;15;18 Speaker 3 That was very funny. 01;31;15;18 - 01;31;21;05 Speaker 5 My number two is probably so nice. What was that? 01;31;21;06 - 01;31;23;01 Speaker 2 Did you find your favorite variant? 01;31;24;04 - 01;31;45;24 Speaker 5 Oh yeah. Well, I have a couple. I think there's the Jim Lee's Cyclops. So Jim Lee is actually one of my favorite comic artists. He does, in my opinion, some of the best like grittier comic art, like Jimmy's Batman, I would say is is Batman like that? Is Batman. Yeah. His Cyclops variant in the game is super cool. 01;31;45;24 - 01;31;58;07 Speaker 5 And then also the variants for what is it, the iron all Father Odin. It's the Odin where he's in like kind of like an iron Man looking deal with like the giant horns if you think they have, like, the gold armor. 01;31;58;07 - 01;31;59;15 Speaker 3 Yeah. Yeah. 01;31;59;15 - 01;32;00;05 Speaker 5 Looks. 01;32;00;27 - 01;32;03;04 Speaker 1 Can you post that in our discourse? Honestly? 01;32;03;22 - 01;32;05;11 Speaker 5 Yeah. Well, yeah, yeah. I mean. 01;32;06;05 - 01;32;08;26 Speaker 1 You know, I want to say because I don't. I never got that far. 01;32;09;28 - 01;32;18;18 Speaker 5 Yeah. So I'm currently sitting at collection level 1085. I am pretty much. 01;32;19;28 - 01;32;22;12 Speaker 4 I was like, amateur this. I'm kidding, I'm kidding. 01;32;22;12 - 01;32;45;17 Speaker 5 Well, I mean, you know, if I can send up sentences in to hundreds like my low, right? Like, Oh, okay, relax, baby. I so I actually don't really enjoy the I feel like I put too much emphasis on that. I do not find enjoyment too much in the pixel in the baby art. I guess that's just not like what I like from comics and shit. 01;32;46;04 - 01;33;12;27 Speaker 5 Um, but yeah, I do very much joy that these aren't just like random. These aren't just like random fucking art going on in the game. My Jimmy is like, certified one of the best comic artists that exists in, in the fact that, well, I assume that that variant probably isn't something he made for the game. I assume this like cyclops brain or any other advanced like they may do or probably from comics they probably got like right, the usage rates for that. 01;33;12;27 - 01;33;14;11 Speaker 5 I assume that's something I can think of. 01;33;15;11 - 01;33;18;07 Speaker 2 I don't think all these cards are being custom designed. I'm sure that these are. 01;33;18;13 - 01;33;22;25 Speaker 5 Yeah, right. I just posted them, you know. 01;33;22;25 - 01;33;24;19 Speaker 4 Yeah, I don't know about that. That would be a lot of work. 01;33;24;29 - 01;33;26;15 Speaker 1 Yeah. I ask spread. 01;33;26;29 - 01;33;47;11 Speaker 5 Do the iron all father variant is so cool. But yeah, those are my two favorite variants. This I just. I loved me. I generally do like. Have you ever seen Jimmy's Batman? Like you're. I'm like, oh, that's Batman I've seen before. And you're like, Oh, Jimmy, this is like, Jimmy, set the stage for what? Batman brought him in. 01;33;47;11 - 01;34;09;21 Speaker 5 Probably Finch David Finch also a very good bit, but that's besides what, Marvel Snap. So I, you know, I really enjoyed magic when I was younger. I played magic hard. I played some magic, the gathering online, an arena, two different versions. Like online is like they're more open version where you can just build decks and play whatever format you want. 01;34;09;21 - 01;34;33;14 Speaker 5 Arena is like kind of similar to this. Not like like. So with HEARTGARD or not, Worth Card is the name of a model in Warhammer Hearthstone with Hearthstone and then Marvel snap. They're smaller decks, they're more specific. With magic, you're building a fold against card deck and bubble up. So I never really enjoyed the smaller I didn't enjoy the hearth and hearthstone. 01;34;33;19 - 01;34;34;11 Speaker 3 Stone. 01;34;34;11 - 01;34;56;08 Speaker 5 Wall because Hard Card is a model in the army I play. So I say Hearth garden. Every time I play. Oh, the heart guard. Do you know, I never really enjoyed Hearthstone too much. I know there's another another card game. Very similar, I think. Riot, have a card, whatever the small deck format is, I wasn't the biggest fan of because I do like the more complexity to it. 01;34;57;02 - 01;35;21;16 Speaker 5 I think SNAP is really good for two reasons. For one, Oh yes. Also yes. Explain generally to what your age group dude. It's all like that one. So talent chat right now for you listening and well my age group things X-Men we think Jim Lee Yes I would still say Batman isn't that what was that does a really good really good job obviously with mechanics with Oh yeah tear it That's what it is. 01;35;21;16 - 01;35;43;13 Speaker 5 Thank you so much with I think the mechanics really good I think the card diversity is very good. I think it really job of capturing the cards essences to doing with their mechanics. Ah I think that's awesome and there's just there's a lot of lot of decks more decks than I thought there would be in terms of diversity of things you could do, which is really fun. 01;35;44;05 - 01;36;01;14 Speaker 5 And the fact that it's cross between mobile and phone or mobile and PC is obviously great. I play SNAP a lot and it to the point where like the other day where I drew a guy by my chilling but I started playing some snap, it's like, Oh, now is this another strike force thing? I was like, No. And then. 01;36;02;06 - 01;36;05;29 Speaker 3 And then. And then. And then. I know, right for. 01;36;05;29 - 01;36;07;01 Speaker 1 Sure I can stop at any time. 01;36;07;01 - 01;36;07;25 Speaker 3 Yes. Yeah. 01;36;08;06 - 01;36;15;27 Speaker 5 But I actually can though it's a thing I could not play snap for a day and not be like, Oh no. All the things I had to do for that. 01;36;16;04 - 01;36;17;20 Speaker 3 Did you get a 100 piece. 01;36;17;27 - 01;36;25;26 Speaker 5 Yes. So like that is nice. I yeah, I'm just, I'm actually, I'm very surprised by how much I enjoy Marvel Slap because. 01;36;27;14 - 01;36;28;21 Speaker 2 I was surprised. 01;36;29;04 - 01;36;29;10 Speaker 3 I heard. 01;36;29;12 - 01;36;29;18 Speaker 4 That. 01;36;30;03 - 01;36;31;09 Speaker 3 She had one. 01;36;31;09 - 01;36;35;06 Speaker 4 Oh my God. I don't know what they're do. I have no idea what they're doing back there. 01;36;35;07 - 01;36;37;20 Speaker 1 There is right now in the world. 01;36;37;20 - 01;36;39;07 Speaker 3 Oh, are they. Holy smokes. 01;36;39;09 - 01;36;45;13 Speaker 1 Deciding Deciding between Argentina and France right now. Yes. Oh, my God. Watching our our discord as well. 01;36;45;13 - 01;36;46;29 Speaker 5 So that is my God. 01;36;46;29 - 01;36;49;11 Speaker 4 Okay. Yeah, Maybe I need to fire that up real quick. 01;36;49;11 - 01;37;04;25 Speaker 5 I wonder if that meant that Argentina just. I think everyone wants Argentina win because he never won a World Cup in this. The. But yeah I was I was tight love. I think we believe the art stuff is so good. I am curious that if this wasn't a marvel game but I give a shit. But does it matter? 01;37;04;25 - 01;37;05;27 Speaker 5 Because in the Marvel game I enjoy it. 01;37;05;27 - 01;37;08;15 Speaker 2 Are you looking forward to the road map they just posted? 01;37;08;18 - 01;37;09;12 Speaker 3 Yeah, the road map. 01;37;09;12 - 01;37;10;14 Speaker 5 Actually, I'm right. 01;37;10;17 - 01;37;13;17 Speaker 1 I see. 01;37;13;17 - 01;37;32;14 Speaker 5 Yeah. We're looking at coming soon. Battle mode. Finally, I want to play with my friends. Go more artist credits, which is interesting. And so yeah, the coming season is really a big deal in development. And then in concept are the bigger stuff. I'm curious what smart Dex means. I'm very intuitive. 01;37;32;14 - 01;37;33;03 Speaker 2 Building Dex. 01;37;33;03 - 01;37;33;15 Speaker 3 Maybe. 01;37;33;24 - 01;37;45;19 Speaker 4 Yeah, probably a situation where you give it a like a filter or a term or whatever you want to grab it and all. Yeah And then yeah, something like competitive modes. 01;37;45;19 - 01;37;52;12 Speaker 5 I love very big fan of that because right now you're not really you're just like trying to gain your level go up and down levels of your. 01;37;52;12 - 01;37;54;04 Speaker 2 There's not really a ranking system. 01;37;54;04 - 01;38;00;06 Speaker 5 No, no no no. Yeah yeah. You can get to the last thing which is what 60 I think is the infinity or something. 01;38;00;24 - 01;38;05;14 Speaker 4 It ever is it. Yeah. And that's really all you're trying to do now that you want to be against. 01;38;05;19 - 01;38;13;28 Speaker 5 Yes. And your collection level. But that's like who gives a shit really. Unless you're saying that you a lot and then you're like, well I have a lot more than you know. 01;38;14;07 - 01;38;14;22 Speaker 3 But no. 01;38;15;04 - 01;38;29;11 Speaker 5 And then yeah, in concept is take because we got guilds coming out, we have leaderboards coming out, more variance out. Yeah. There's more like PC or PC controller support. Very interesting. I don't. 01;38;29;11 - 01;38;30;07 Speaker 4 Understand that. 01;38;30;14 - 01;38;42;17 Speaker 5 Very curious that means but yeah and then more events so I yeah I had I can't take it if it wasn't I think it's another one. It may have been game number one if it wasn't for my game I. 01;38;42;17 - 01;38;44;10 Speaker 2 Actually thought it was going to be your number one, but. 01;38;45;14 - 01;38;46;14 Speaker 3 I think No. 01;38;46;15 - 01;38;49;22 Speaker 5 No, no, none that I'm sure we all have the same fucking number one. Yeah. 01;38;50;06 - 01;38;51;03 Speaker 4 No, we don't. 01;38;51;24 - 01;38;57;20 Speaker 5 Nobody is like I do not know. I'm like, Oh great. I need to know. Well, try always your do. 01;38;58;29 - 01;39;01;22 Speaker 3 My number two here. You heard him again. Oh, my God. 01;39;03;01 - 01;39;04;23 Speaker 1 No, it's just funny. 01;39;04;24 - 01;39;05;14 Speaker 3 It's very funny. 01;39;05;14 - 01;39;10;27 Speaker 1 Just this last one. I'm going to be the upset here. My number two is God of war Rack. 01;39;10;28 - 01;39;11;18 Speaker 3 Fuck off. 01;39;11;28 - 01;39;13;21 Speaker 4 How dare you? 01;39;13;21 - 01;39;16;26 Speaker 5 Yes, how dare you? Actually, how dare you? Actually, how dare you? 01;39;17;18 - 01;39;20;28 Speaker 1 Yeah, I really enjoyed. 01;39;21;24 - 01;39;22;13 Speaker 3 Huh? Oh, there's. 01;39;22;15 - 01;39;28;08 Speaker 2 Nothing. Nothing. I just want to ruin something for you, that's all. 01;39;28;08 - 01;39;33;12 Speaker 3 Well, satisfied. She's not like she's going to do something beautiful. Yeah. 01;39;34;07 - 01;39;48;13 Speaker 1 No, I mean as God of war, right? I mean, it's very close, but Honestly. It came down to. It came down to one little thing that really just kind of annoyed me is map markers. Can't do a map marker in Ragnarok to be able to go and ping something and go do that because I wanted to like, do that. 01;39;48;13 - 01;39;49;08 Speaker 1 And I go places that. 01;39;49;08 - 01;39;50;08 Speaker 3 Explore, Oh, you can't do. 01;39;50;08 - 01;40;15;11 Speaker 1 That. I had to you know, we had to keep you have keep putting on the map and down. Yeah I kept looking at the maps up small little minor thing but like I also just kind of stuck with one build the entire game and just like, one with that, I tried to explore different builds for that and different abilities and I just didn't really it didn't like grip me like the first one did. 01;40;15;11 - 01;40;31;25 Speaker 1 And I mean, it's still fantastic game. I still think it's better than one. I think the storyline is excellent and just really well done across the board. But there's just I don't know, there's something about that just whenever whenever I get to a game that's just like, Am I done yet? It just kind of like gives. 01;40;31;25 - 01;40;32;20 Speaker 3 Me. 01;40;32;21 - 01;40;54;15 Speaker 1 A little bit of like, okay, this could have been a little bit better. I still finished. It is still platinum, but it's not a good time with it. But it's just a matter of oh, it's just my number one is just I just wrote 2480 hours so that's only got me for like 3540. So I'm just kind of like looking to find when the end is coming. 01;40;54;16 - 01;40;56;06 Speaker 1 So that's a reason why. 01;40;56;29 - 01;40;58;00 Speaker 3 Okay, okay. 01;40;58;08 - 01;41;17;17 Speaker 5 I actually some of my coworkers said it was their top one because actually a holly or she's because the amount of cuts in there were they felt that there was too much story cutscenes, which I thought I was just like, but okay, that's interesting day because I love all that shit personally same. Or you know what I really want everybody. 01;41;17;19 - 01;41;17;29 Speaker 4 You seem to. 01;41;17;29 - 01;41;22;28 Speaker 5 Want to have messy. You finally got your World Cup after decades of trying. So we go. 01;41;23;18 - 01;41;27;10 Speaker 1 There we go. All right. Who what's number one for your game of the year? 01;41;27;18 - 01;41;32;18 Speaker 4 Number one game of the year for me, Horizon, Forbidden West and. 01;41;32;19 - 01;41;35;05 Speaker 3 Oh, yes. And here's the reason why. 01;41;35;05 - 01;41;36;10 Speaker 5 Well, wait, wait, wait. 01;41;36;13 - 01;41;36;23 Speaker 3 No, no. 01;41;36;23 - 01;41;39;02 Speaker 4 No, no, no. I did not say it was my honorable mention. 01;41;39;02 - 01;41;39;19 Speaker 2 I was the one. 01;41;39;19 - 01;41;43;27 Speaker 5 That I because I someone reminded me to put that in my honorable mention. 01;41;43;27 - 01;41;44;21 Speaker 3 Yeah. Yeah. 01;41;45;13 - 01;41;56;08 Speaker 4 It wasn't me because that's always been my number one fan favorite game of the entire year. I dumped a ton of hours into it. I remember I was watching Charlie stream it and I was like, walking him through some stuff. 01;41;56;16 - 01;41;57;16 Speaker 3 Like, Yeah, I. 01;41;57;16 - 01;42;19;16 Speaker 4 Actually platinum this game. So there you go. You it came with a bunch of new crap. No, I don't. I don't I do not play enough games on the ps5 to platinum and if I got that far in a game to to dedicate myself to going, not just finishing the story, but then going back through and like, I need to level up as many of my legendary weapons as I possibly can. 01;42;19;25 - 01;42;38;16 Speaker 4 Like I'm replaying that I'm hunting things down. I want to stay immersed in this world. I went back and started to do Game Plus like, I don't do that normally. I do not do that. And because I did it this time and I almost did it with her with the original Ryzen like I loved that game. You mentioned it before, Charlie. 01;42;38;16 - 01;43;00;18 Speaker 4 It's something about this post-apocalyptic like Mod slash old school mix, right? That like, you see, there's all these robots and stuff running around and like all these high tech, really high tech stuff. Like you could imagine a world that was like super crazy, high tech. But then this huge thing happens, it knocks everyone back to like. 01;43;00;25 - 01;43;02;01 Speaker 3 Freaky like. 01;43;02;18 - 01;43;16;11 Speaker 4 Stonehenge, like almost a stone age. But they're still incorporating all of this stuff because they're finding these things and figuring out how they work. And and also, I don't know what sort of batteries these guys use, but the fact that some of this shit still works, these batteries is like, That's amazing. 01;43;17;01 - 01;43;18;24 Speaker 3 Right? Oh. 01;43;19;05 - 01;43;20;02 Speaker 1 Yeah, that's for sure. 01;43;20;04 - 01;43;27;25 Speaker 4 Oh, no, definitely not Lithium. Exactly. Please do let Elon Musk get a hold of this stuff. 01;43;27;25 - 01;43;29;12 Speaker 3 But like the just like. 01;43;31;02 - 01;43;52;27 Speaker 4 You mentioned the division before, the first division was good because it was this whole idea of like something happened trying to piece together and figuring it all out. It's a very similar thing with the Horizon series. Like you're you're trying to figure out what happened and how it happened, and then you're piecing all this stuff together and then because it is an interesting world, it like, keeps you engaged and you keep wanting to find out what the next thing is. 01;43;53;16 - 01;44;11;19 Speaker 4 So, yeah, that's that's one. Obviously the other stuff, like they did a better job on like some of the combat systems you bigger better machines that you have to take down. And then first and foremost I it before flying. I don't know what it is, but you give me a game where I can fly around and I'm controlling the flying, I guess apparently I'm going to get hooked. 01;44;12;01 - 01;44;12;25 Speaker 2 And likes to fly. 01;44;12;25 - 01;44;13;04 Speaker 1 Yeah. 01;44;13;15 - 01;44;15;25 Speaker 3 Yeah. Don't give him flip flopping. 01;44;16;18 - 01;44;21;18 Speaker 5 Oh flips Answer fly for fun. By the way, who never heard of the stupidest? 01;44;21;19 - 01;44;22;29 Speaker 4 Oh, fly. Okay. Okay. 01;44;22;29 - 01;44;24;02 Speaker 3 Yes. Yeah. 01;44;25;23 - 01;44;27;23 Speaker 4 Yeah. That's why number one. 01;44;27;23 - 01;44;32;17 Speaker 1 All right, Josh, what you got to do? 01;44;33;19 - 01;44;34;10 Speaker 3 Of course. 01;44;35;24 - 01;44;39;23 Speaker 5 Don't Do we just have to do this one, Josh? Because I feel. Don't. 01;44;39;27 - 01;44;41;13 Speaker 3 I mean, don't try. 01;44;41;15 - 01;44;43;16 Speaker 5 Gave it away. It's on his, but I mean. Yeah, I. 01;44;43;16 - 01;44;44;22 Speaker 2 Know. Yeah. 01;44;45;04 - 01;44;45;21 Speaker 5 I assume. 01;44;45;23 - 01;45;08;15 Speaker 2 I mean, okay, so like there is like I said number when I, when I put up Elden ring, it was kind of like I never got the demo at the shed. It's just that I personally had more fun with God of War Ragnarok. I thought, I mean, like I said, I've been stressed out. So like me being able to sit back and like, watch a great story and play it at the same time with like phenomenal gameplay. 01;45;08;20 - 01;45;17;09 Speaker 2 I mean, I well, I love I'm really bad with the names. Dom You can probably remind me what's the name of the armor? Smith Guy. Brock is Brock. 01;45;17;20 - 01;45;19;16 Speaker 5 Brock is the blue oxygen. Yeah. 01;45;19;16 - 01;45;22;29 Speaker 2 Dude, he talks so much. It's so funny. Like. 01;45;23;07 - 01;45;24;09 Speaker 3 That's so. 01;45;24;09 - 01;45;26;17 Speaker 5 Funny. Yeah It's so funny. 01;45;26;17 - 01;45;31;14 Speaker 2 There's a lot of humor in the game, and I guess I didn't anticipate any of that. 01;45;31;14 - 01;45;40;25 Speaker 5 So he says when they when they first go to muscle, I'm not going to give any spoilers in case someone's away. This is really a big spoiler. You know, the drama exists when they first go to muscle, fine. 01;45;41;08 - 01;45;43;19 Speaker 3 But how do you pay for home? Must walk by. 01;45;44;03 - 01;45;54;06 Speaker 5 And he gets in there is like he doesn't say like my nuts are sweating but he says something like my my under sweat, the sweating or some shit. I'm just like, Yo, that is. 01;45;54;06 - 01;45;57;14 Speaker 3 So it's oh, man, it's so. 01;45;57;14 - 01;46;03;19 Speaker 5 Funny. It's like the writing. Yeah. I mean, I mean, if you got more, I keep going because I got some shit, obviously. 01;46;03;19 - 01;46;14;21 Speaker 2 But we're like, Oh, I mean I just I think. I mean, it was just a great frickin game. I genuinely great experience graphics over the top like it's a ten out of ten for sure. Like, there's no I can. 01;46;14;21 - 01;46;15;29 Speaker 5 I mean, out of ten part. 01;46;15;29 - 01;46;21;09 Speaker 2 Charlie Charlie's biggest Charlie's biggest gripe is you can do map markers like something I give two shits about. 01;46;21;09 - 01;46;39;20 Speaker 5 So like this goes to show you. It's not to say, okay, I think I feel like you're making this one more points just because of everything. A But it's because in reality, like, I think that's actually goes to show you how great the game is that the only thing someone who's in love with the series can say is bad about it isn't a mark shit. 01;46;39;20 - 01;46;40;02 Speaker 5 You're like. 01;46;40;07 - 01;46;42;19 Speaker 3 This fucking idea really for is fucking motherfucker. 01;46;42;21 - 01;46;51;04 Speaker 5 You know, it's just so I it's very funny. It's very funny to turn to. The game starts and I started crying like off the bat with the for one of the first scenes. Like, I think. 01;46;51;07 - 01;46;54;03 Speaker 1 You texted me as soon as it happened, You're like, What the fuck. 01;46;54;06 - 01;46;54;21 Speaker 3 Is this? 01;46;55;00 - 01;46;58;03 Speaker 2 Oh, I think I know what you're talking about. I also. It was. It's a tear jerker. 01;46;58;03 - 01;47;07;23 Speaker 5 Yeah, sure. Yeah. And so I think in terms of a video game, some of the best narrative driven like. 01;47;10;13 - 01;47;11;23 Speaker 2 It's the first one Friday's. 01;47;11;25 - 01;47;11;29 Speaker 5 That. 01;47;12;00 - 01;47;31;24 Speaker 2 Most of us take. As I said, for me, it's the first game that I thought was actually good enough to play through since I beat the Last of US because like for me, I don't really I don't really play a lot of these kinds of games. Like I'm I'm more of an MMO person or RPG, so like, I don't like I haven't played Horizon. 01;47;31;24 - 01;47;40;16 Speaker 2 I'm a bunch of games that are terminal, you know, but I, I, I truthfully, I didn't even play the first God of war like, I mean, I didn't play that. 01;47;40;16 - 01;47;41;05 Speaker 4 I didn't play that. 01;47;41;14 - 01;47;50;15 Speaker 2 And PS3 I hadn't played it yet. I I'm just saying like I have it downstairs. Like, I just, I'm playing all the way through it. So, like, I didn't like a lot of the stuff when I started this game. And I had. 01;47;50;15 - 01;47;55;14 Speaker 5 My also for the record, I'm not even finished the game yet and it is my number one favorite game of the. 01;47;55;14 - 01;48;02;12 Speaker 2 Year. Yeah, I think I'm like, I think the record, I think I'm 80% done with the game I'm doing like all the side shit. I don't even. 01;48;02;12 - 01;48;18;08 Speaker 5 Know where I am. I'm, I'm, I'm taking my time so hard with it because I am I truly is. What am I fate Not only is my family in the year one of my I think one of my favorite games, I love this game so much. It is just hitting every spot for me. Are you in agreement that. 01;48;19;11 - 01;48;24;09 Speaker 5 No, I don't. Not really. Not like Greek nor Norse shit, to be honest. I just I usually like. 01;48;24;09 - 01;48;26;14 Speaker 2 But anybody that's into that, I will. Absolutely. I go. 01;48;26;20 - 01;48;27;09 Speaker 5 Yeah, I don't know. 01;48;27;09 - 01;48;27;27 Speaker 1 It was great. 01;48;28;03 - 01;48;47;14 Speaker 5 I think it is really cool because I think this is what's cool about mythology specifically is when you know, you know what you're taught and like the real world, the mythology from like what the history tells us of like these eras. But it's really cool to get almost like a fan fan fiction of that shit in a in like something like this. 01;48;47;14 - 01;49;06;18 Speaker 5 So like talking about gods and the various things like seeing that, like when you see Thor, Odin do something, you know, in the previous games we saw Greek gods do something. It's just kind of cool to like, have that is like, Oh my God, did that happen in Greek mythology? You know what I mean? I don't know. I also obviously combat is fine. 01;49;06;18 - 01;49;30;11 Speaker 5 Yeah. Like I think God of War four really set the tone for this new combat. And then five just just update it in terms of like adding in a little extra flavor, you know? So yeah, I love the fucking game story. Ten out of ten PS4 pro can hold up. It makes it's loud. I do. It's just every once in a while, like a chest won't load. 01;49;30;11 - 01;49;37;18 Speaker 5 It's all of its graphical texture or like something like that won't loba like whatever. Like I'm you know, hashtag blessed to even be able to play. 01;49;37;20 - 01;49;42;16 Speaker 2 And and playing is a trace wasn't bad like I was actually very. 01;49;42;16 - 01;49;43;12 Speaker 5 Cool yes. 01;49;44;00 - 01;50;01;20 Speaker 2 Because because sometimes like ironically enough I opened this up and I have resident Evil two remake in here that's very thinking about that. Like whenever you have to play like as one of the extra people in these games, like typically you hate it. You're like, Oh my God, I got to play this person for like a show. But Atreus was finally you get to level of. 01;50;01;25 - 01;50;20;07 Speaker 5 It's a fun, super cool having other side people with you. You know, not to give too much away, but having other companions outside of a trance. That's really nice. It's a cool feel. Also, can you talk about the level of voice talent in this damn game is super good. They got like some legitimate actors. 01;50;20;08 - 01;50;21;29 Speaker 2 Yeah, I had to look them up, actually. 01;50;21;29 - 01;50;29;07 Speaker 5 Like the voice of Odin. I was like, Wait a second. This is They got. They got it. You know what I mean? From the. 01;50;29;25 - 01;50;37;25 Speaker 2 Swing. I'm actually surprised you didn't win Game of the year. I mean, I get why Elden ring one but you surprised that. 01;50;39;22 - 01;50;40;15 Speaker 1 My markers, bro. 01;50;41;03 - 01;50;42;15 Speaker 4 Markers. Yeah I. 01;50;42;23 - 01;50;52;16 Speaker 5 Was I really enjoyed Christopher Judge Christopher judges and I really did enjoy his speech for best video game acting that the the awards. 01;50;52;16 - 01;50;55;00 Speaker 2 Oh did did guy ever win that category. 01;50;55;00 - 01;50;58;19 Speaker 5 Yeah Christopher Judge specifically won as best video game characters. 01;50;58;19 - 01;50;59;05 Speaker 2 And see. 01;50;59;05 - 01;51;07;03 Speaker 4 That's that's why I lost out on game of the year his speech went so long they're like, Fuck it, We can't have this guy upstairs. No, no, no, no, no. We're going to give it to Elden ring. He can't come back up. 01;51;07;03 - 01;51;07;26 Speaker 2 Here because. 01;51;08;10 - 01;51;09;01 Speaker 3 I see this. 01;51;09;22 - 01;51;35;03 Speaker 5 Like, his speech, though, was like, I think that gave some real credibility there to the video game world because he the his speech was that from an actor and it it I think it added some real like ground foundation for the fact that these people are actors like they are legitimate actors like they are doing shit that, you know oh gosh, But how did you know? 01;51;35;04 - 01;51;40;06 Speaker 5 Oh, that's very funny. Yes, it was a little long. But sometimes actors, people are like, okay, you know, you got, you. 01;51;40;06 - 01;51;43;01 Speaker 3 Know, this I'm someone who is long and it was like you. 01;51;43;01 - 01;51;48;05 Speaker 5 Went to Oscar, your speech is going to be thank you to everyone or it's going to be like a four page thesis. You know what I mean? Like, I don't know. 01;51;49;04 - 01;51;50;29 Speaker 3 You. 01;51;50;29 - 01;51;56;09 Speaker 5 That's still funny, though. Savage So much savagery in this pod today. 01;51;56;25 - 01;52;01;09 Speaker 4 I always subscribe to the act like you've been there before. Mentality and I just drop my pen. 01;52;02;06 - 01;52;22;14 Speaker 5 So I don't. But, I mean, I guess, like, what I'm saying is lot of wars when you're just that thankful, like, does that mean that you're not that you're. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know if I would. I see what you're saying. I don't know if I would equate that. I don't know if I would equate the level of appreciation because do like, you know, there's some in some actors that have been there before and they've given a long speech. 01;52;22;14 - 01;52;24;22 Speaker 5 It was a four minute speech. It was a four minute speech, which. 01;52;24;25 - 01;52;32;29 Speaker 4 I think for me, I'm so much of a team player that I would be like, look, I know this is my moment, right? But there are other people it's the other moment, two and. 01;52;33;24 - 01;52;35;08 Speaker 3 A half minutes. 01;52;35;10 - 01;52;36;00 Speaker 2 And so I don't. 01;52;36;13 - 01;52;53;04 Speaker 5 I don't want to yeah, I don't want to I don't want I'm not I'm not trying. I'm not trying to prove wrong. But I really because I watch it, I really enjoy watching it. He, he, he had a very sweet line about the kid who played Petraeus. It was like, you're going to you're going to go, you're going to fucking go places and you're killing it. 01;52;53;05 - 01;53;11;11 Speaker 5 I spent I loved spending so much time with you and gave a big not actually to director because I know there a lot of people when the directors switch were worried and I actually enjoyed it. I watched it from the lens of this is a real actor giving a thank you speech. This isn't just like some fucking Mickey Mouse video game stuff, you know? 01;53;11;14 - 01;53;11;20 Speaker 5 I mean. 01;53;11;20 - 01;53;18;10 Speaker 4 He was a guy. I mean, I know was he is a real I mean, they're all actors. Voice acting is still acting. But I mean. 01;53;18;16 - 01;53;19;21 Speaker 3 Like and TV. 01;53;19;21 - 01;53;21;06 Speaker 4 Versus video. Yeah. 01;53;22;08 - 01;53;27;14 Speaker 5 I just yeah, I think it just gives some seriousness to this community. I think you know. 01;53;27;14 - 01;53;36;17 Speaker 2 It's actually like kind of a debatable topic that people are like, you know, some people didn't care for it. Actually, I think it's the latter. I think more people liked it than disliked it. 01;53;36;17 - 01;53;41;06 Speaker 3 But yeah yeah, right. Everything trying to get your focus back, your focus. 01;53;41;12 - 01;53;43;09 Speaker 5 And you lose that, but you bend over the. 01;53;43;13 - 01;53;45;22 Speaker 3 People. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. 01;53;46;19 - 01;53;59;21 Speaker 1 Well seeking Yeah. Funny enough, I actually found out that my my friend Sam is ghost and do modern warfare. So. So which is interesting. I didn't know that that was. 01;53;59;22 - 01;54;03;06 Speaker 2 Okay, Charlie. So let's hear your number one way. 01;54;03;11 - 01;54;14;20 Speaker 3 All right. Number one for me is SpongeBob SquarePants. Yeah. Yeah. All right, guys. Charlie, you're so funny. Just anybody loving God is faking Planet Trophy. Oh. 01;54;15;05 - 01;54;20;07 Speaker 5 See, that's. I can't. I can't leave without messing up, but I can. Like, that was my joke. I turned out like. 01;54;20;07 - 01;54;20;24 Speaker 3 Oh, got it. 01;54;21;22 - 01;54;22;07 Speaker 6 Got it, got it. 01;54;22;14 - 01;54;23;06 Speaker 5 That's all Negative. 01;54;23;10 - 01;54;27;08 Speaker 1 No number one for me is Elden ring. So I have I'm. 01;54;27;08 - 01;54;30;09 Speaker 5 Surprised about that. I am very surprised by your one and two. I'm very surprised. 01;54;31;02 - 01;54;53;15 Speaker 1 I mean, I really enjoyed like I think the story and God of War is better than Elden Ring, but I enjoyed the, the complexity and the different build and different ways to play that game than I did God of War. I felt like there's really only one style to play God of war. And it was I mean, even that was like open world ish, still very linear. 01;54;53;15 - 01;55;07;03 Speaker 1 Like, yeah, there's a lot of stuff going on. I just, I felt more that Elden Ring world was determined by my actions as opposed to being a part of just being a participant in the God. 01;55;07;03 - 01;55;08;23 Speaker 5 Well, I mean, because we're talking to every genre. 01;55;08;23 - 01;55;10;03 Speaker 1 So yeah, I mean. 01;55;10;11 - 01;55;12;25 Speaker 5 But that's just give me your blade. The casualties are those anymore. 01;55;13;12 - 01;55;13;17 Speaker 3 Yeah. 01;55;13;20 - 01;55;17;21 Speaker 1 Yeah. I'm not. Do I have them up? Oh no. He, he has like, he has a cool where. 01;55;17;21 - 01;55;18;24 Speaker 5 The cars actually. 01;55;18;24 - 01;55;19;12 Speaker 1 Have blade scale. 01;55;19;12 - 01;55;28;14 Speaker 5 Well let me try them together. I just every time I walk in I'm like, oh it's like a new fucking sword hanging up or something. This man owns more swords than, like, the milady guy, you know what I mean? Like. 01;55;29;06 - 01;55;37;14 Speaker 1 I actually only have two other blades, and I have a different Arthurian sword, but the one I really just. 01;55;37;14 - 01;55;38;12 Speaker 3 Invigorates. 01;55;40;02 - 01;55;40;20 Speaker 1 Every. 01;55;41;17 - 01;55;42;26 Speaker 5 I like. I like, I like yellow. 01;55;42;26 - 01;55;58;03 Speaker 1 It's I really enjoyed every aspect of the game and the playstyle. And just what you could do is build that like, you kind of if you made that story out to be whatever it is want, like if you cared about the story, there's a ton of different lore that you had to read up on and do things about. 01;55;58;20 - 01;56;19;09 Speaker 1 It got really weird in certain aspects of it, but I was I was really, really taken aback by that game and I really enjoyed the multiplayer aspect of the PvP aspect. I normally don't PvP in those games, but that was kind of fun to. Dry. I loved doing like a full strength building, like don't get on people too heavy hammers and such. 01;56;19;09 - 01;56;35;20 Speaker 1 I was just I don't know. It's just it differently than any other game. And it just really I went back and forth because they were they were tied for me at number one and I just like had to go back and review everything because God of War says Fresh. And that's Elden Ring was in February, so I just had to go back and review it. 01;56;35;20 - 01;56;59;17 Speaker 1 I just like I started taking notes about things when I have when I play certain games about like what I feel, how I react to it. And I had like way more notes about it, recommended about God of War. So just really it's kind of came down to that. So but I mean, but personally, you know it's for me and if I had, if, if, if I could do a tie it would probably be the two of those tying for. 01;56;59;17 - 01;57;00;23 Speaker 4 First tied for first. 01;57;00;23 - 01;57;09;10 Speaker 1 There they are. They're excellent games and I'm really excited to see where God War goes for next iteration because they're done with the Norse series. 01;57;09;11 - 01;57;09;24 Speaker 5 So they. 01;57;10;09 - 01;57;36;05 Speaker 4 Should. I so should I bite the bullet? Just go back and play the first freaking finish the first frickin one again for playing. Yeah. Okay. So long, long story. I picked it up. I didn't finish it on PlayStation because I couldn't handle two things Kratos being a shitty father and to the the the view, the point of view, the POV and all the stuff that was hitting you from behind, it was hard to like. 01;57;36;05 - 01;57;42;12 Speaker 4 So the the way that combat went was just putting me off and sure, I think that's then when it came out of there. 01;57;42;12 - 01;57;42;21 Speaker 5 Yeah. 01;57;43;06 - 01;57;52;03 Speaker 4 Yeah. So, so I put it down, then it came out on PC and they fix some of that by, you know, widening the screen. It has like ultrawide support and so that helps a little bit. 01;57;52;06 - 01;57;54;27 Speaker 2 So your least favorite part was the he was a shitty father. 01;57;55;25 - 01;57;57;07 Speaker 4 Shitty father was a terrible father. 01;57;58;15 - 01;58;00;20 Speaker 3 I mean, obviously the wailing. 01;58;01;00 - 01;58;03;29 Speaker 5 Obviously there's more baggage to it. But yes, he is not a good father. 01;58;05;00 - 01;58;08;20 Speaker 2 I've gathered, I've gathered in the second well in this game that they. 01;58;08;20 - 01;58;09;03 Speaker 3 They. 01;58;09;16 - 01;58;17;15 Speaker 2 Point to the fact that he was a pretty much a not a not so great in the first one. So I'm sure that's part of why they're trying to, like, redeem themselves in this one. 01;58;18;05 - 01;58;35;00 Speaker 4 Yeah. So, like, you know, it's not a spoiler any more in early on, you know, his wife dies and he's stuck with his kid and his kid is talking about all this sad shit that is remembering his mother. And I'm like, The kid needs a hug. Hug your goddamn kid all your fucking good. And he's just sitting there, like, doing nothing. 01;58;35;03 - 01;58;38;01 Speaker 3 Why? Boy, Yeah. You know, from the. 01;58;38;01 - 01;58;39;02 Speaker 4 Past with him, I'm like. 01;58;39;06 - 01;58;39;16 Speaker 3 If. 01;58;39;18 - 01;58;41;14 Speaker 5 You're fucking ding dong, but I'll hug your. 01;58;41;14 - 01;58;42;29 Speaker 4 Kid. Exactly. 01;58;43;26 - 01;58;45;15 Speaker 3 Is a nagging parent to. 01;58;45;15 - 01;58;46;14 Speaker 4 Young boys that. 01;58;46;14 - 01;59;04;15 Speaker 5 Despite the shitty Spartan war, that's the thing. It's like, I think in the second one they really go into it about how bad Kratos his childhood was to the point where he's like, He's happy. He even survived and. How he wants to make that Trey and the rest go into that. And I think that is a very important Yeah, he has a bad for you. 01;59;04;17 - 01;59;07;14 Speaker 5 Terrible. Especially in the before like it is tricky. 01;59;07;16 - 01;59;21;14 Speaker 4 That's kind of yeah. I mean I think it's kind of like that for me. That was a hard thing to get over. I imagine. Like, you know, you guys, couple of guys being people. Like, imagine if there was a game where do just that Most of it kicking a cat down the street but you know like this game and everybody else is like this game is amazing. 01;59;21;20 - 01;59;25;06 Speaker 3 He kicks a cat. I'm just You. 01;59;25;12 - 01;59;25;29 Speaker 5 Mean like. 01;59;26;09 - 01;59;37;04 Speaker 2 One time I went to over I was putting together an act. Pug and Guy killed Mr. Wigglesworth at the beginning, and I kicked them out. I was like, You can year round here, bitch. 01;59;37;04 - 01;59;37;29 Speaker 3 And so. 01;59;38;12 - 01;59;42;02 Speaker 4 Yeah. So as a parent of two young boys, that was the thing that, that, you know, struck home. 01;59;42;04 - 01;59;43;00 Speaker 5 For you that. 01;59;43;14 - 02;00;01;11 Speaker 4 Yeah. And so but again everybody is talking about how the game was and how much you know he he does improve and then you know all the talk about how good God of war Ragnarok is. I'm like, okay, fine, maybe I'll go back and just put you just push through it. Like the first season of The Office where it got much. 02;00;01;11 - 02;00;04;23 Speaker 3 Better, right? Yeah, Yeah. 02;00;04;25 - 02;00;05;15 Speaker 5 Very funny. 02;00;05;15 - 02;00;06;26 Speaker 3 That's very funny. 02;00;07;09 - 02;00;10;08 Speaker 5 That's very funny. Yeah, for sure. 02;00;11;03 - 02;00;12;10 Speaker 3 Yeah. Just. 02;00;12;25 - 02;00;37;05 Speaker 1 Just, you know, push through and just suffer through it, you know? Yeah, Yeah, that's good. I mean, there is good redemption stuff. That's so awesome. Well, it sounds God of war. Elden Ring and Horizon Forbidden West are our games of the year for us individually know that's great Now I know we've we're at 2 hours right now and it's quite a bit of bit of time. 02;00;37;22 - 02;00;47;09 Speaker 1 I do have an extra thing if we have an extra 10 minutes I did I did something fun where normally you know how we normally do like trivia and whatnot. I made a holiday themed trivia. 02;00;47;09 - 02;00;49;18 Speaker 3 Whoa oh, right. Here we go. 02;00;49;27 - 02;12;18;13 Speaker 1 So if we want to do a real quick, we'll take like 10 minutes and do a really fast.
