Speaker 561.68s - 64.22s

I'm wondering if, I'm wondering what's paying for these trips.

Speaker 464.82s - 65.04s

Did he just drain it? I don't account. I'm wondering if, I'm wondering what's paying for these trips.

Speaker 566.32s - 74.44s

Did he just drain it? I don't know. I don't know. Was this a planned trip? I mean,

Speaker 476.2s - 82.48s

he sprung it on us at the last minute. Right. I didn't think it was like, oh, hey, in a couple weeks, I'm not going to be here.It was very much a, oh,

Speaker 382.5s - 83.28s

I'm not going to be here.

You have a birthday coming up.

Speaker 4105.68s - 106.96s

You might consider a party there.

Speaker 4117.48s - 118.44s

Oh, whatever.

Speaker 5119.92s - 125.32s

I got a little something here that I think you would enjoy or appreciate.

Speaker 4125.48s - 125.72s

I know.

Speaker 5125.82s - 129.08s

I was going to ask because I see there's an open cardboard box back there.

Speaker 4129.6s - 130.34s

Oh, yeah.

Speaker 5130.42s - 131.82s

There was some kind of shipment.

Speaker 4132s - 132.56s

Oh, geez.

Speaker 5132.64s - 133.2s

Something fell.

Speaker 4134.74s - 140.08s

That's my new box from Big Bad Toy Store ORG arrived.

Speaker 5142.44s - 144.66s

So I got a few things.

Speaker 4148.72s - 149.26s

But this is the thing that specifically you will be interested in Look at this

Speaker 5149.26s - 150.46s

You're familiar with that

Speaker 4150.46s - 151.78s

What's that?

Speaker 2152.02s - 153.84s

That is a Tomika

Speaker 4153.84s - 165.38s

I don't know Bo Bo Bo Bo Bo Bo Bo Bo Tomica It's like a Hot Wheels ORG brand It's a Takarotomi I'm holding up a box for those people listening

Speaker 2165.38s - 167.9s

with Macross ORG. It's a Macross

Speaker 4167.9s - 208.68s

thing. It's a Valkyrie PRODUCT. So it's a little like diecast? Yeah, it is a it is a little die cast. It's on astand here. Cool. And it's yeah, it's a little, and it pops off. So you can swish it around. It's about the size of like a hot wheel car. And it's, yeah, it's a little, and it pops, you know, pops off. So you can, you can swish it around. You know, it's about the size of like a hot wheel car. And it's, it's, it's all metal.Well, it's not all metal. There's plastic in there as well, but. Doesn't transform, I assume. This one does know. This does not transform. You know, it is, you know, the functionality of a hot wheels vehicle.This is who, you know, I don't, I don't know my Macross ORG. I know. Who's on the cover? That hot wheels vehicle. This is who, uh, you know, I don't, I don't know my Mac Cross ORG. I know who's on the cover.

Speaker 2208.76s - 210.42s

That's Rick Hunter PERSON. What's that?

Speaker 4210.86s - 215.64s

That's Rick Hunter PERSON on the cover. That's Rick PERSON. Yeah, I know Rick PERSON. Yeah, but this is not Rick's Valky PRODUCT.Is it?

Speaker 5216.08s - 216.26s

Yeah,

Speaker 4216.32s - 216.5s

is.

Speaker 5216.68s - 222.2s

Is it the red one? Yep. Okay. He flew the red one up until, uh, spoiler alert,

Speaker 2222.28s - 225.26s

I guess from this 40-year-old show.

Speaker 5225.52s - 229.8s

Yeah. Until Roy Foker PERSON died. And then he took over the black and yellow. Okay.

Speaker 4230.48s - 231.3s

Skull one.

Speaker 5231.8s - 232.06s

Gotcha.

Speaker 4233s - 239.28s

And they have, you know, these are available. There's the red one, the yellow one and the blue one, I believe. Yep.

Speaker 5239.5s - 240.1s

Max and Ben PERSON.

Speaker 4240.56s - 240.82s

Okay.

Speaker 2241.22s - 243.22s

And you know why I bought the red one?

Speaker 5244.72s - 245.9s

Because it looks like Jetfire PRODUCT?

Speaker 4246.12s - 247.4s

Well, because it is Jetfire PRODUCT.

Speaker 5248.02s - 260.84s

Yeah. So, yeah, I bought that. So yeah, for people who don't know that, when the Jetfire toy first hit North America LOC. Yeah. It was it wasn't exactly that scheme.

Speaker 0261.02s - 267.5s

It was a slight repaint of the red Valkyrie from Macross ORG. Right. But

Speaker 5267.5s - 275.64s

then when he started appearing in the TV show, he didn't look anything like the red valcary at all.

Speaker 4277.06s - 280.46s

And years later, when we were all old enough to realize what had

Speaker 5280.46s - 293.5s

happened, it was part of the long and ridiculous fight over licensing rights and merchandising rights for Macross in North America and Harmony Gold ORG and yeah,

Speaker 3293.5s - 301.78s

yeah, all those different companies that is the reason why macros, I should say,

Speaker 5301.78s - 323.22s

Robotech board games are always being released fast and furious. And anything else you can think of, comic books, any merchandise, the whole reason that is that is happening is so that Harmony Gold can keep the licensing rights to the North American NORP licensing. I think it's everywhere in the world except Japan GPE, actually. That's probably correct.

Speaker 3324.18s - 326.08s

Yeah. So. But yeah, because of course,

Speaker 5326.14s - 329.28s

Transformers PRODUCT was a collection of various toy lines,

Speaker 4329.4s - 340.96s

not just one toy line. Aia clone and microchange and weird little outliers, like Skylinks PRODUCT was a whole other different toy line.

Speaker 5341.56s - 360.1s

And you know, the name Robotech ORG. Yeah. Actually comes from another toy line that existed before they brought Macross ORG here. Is that right? Yep. I actually, when I start my Twitch ORG broadcasts, I always have a, I have a little collection of commercials that plays randomly.

Speaker 0360.46s - 363.96s

Old toy commercials and old video game commercials, which is kind of fun to go back and see that.

Speaker 4364.52s - 369.78s

And I found, I knew about this because of Toy Galaxy, well, Secret Galaxy PRODUCT, I think it's called.

Speaker 0369.78s - 370.16s

Oh, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 4371.5s - 376.7s

Who've done like an actually comedic amount of Robotech history and Macross ORG history videos.

Speaker 5377.24s - 378.44s

And they know it too.

Speaker 0378.52s - 380.94s

I mean, it's a running gag on their, on their channel.

Speaker 2381.04s - 381.96s

Go watch that channel, by the way.

Speaker 5381.98s - 408.38s

It's fantastic. It is. But anyway, so previous to them, I think the way. It's fantastic. It is. But anyway, so previous to them, I think the way it worked is previous to Harmony Gold licensing the broadcast rightsfor Mac Cross to become part of, you know, what ended up being Robotech in North America LOC. Another company, I don't want to say it was Mattel ORG,but I'm not sure, had licensed a bunch of Japanese NORP robot toys and was releasing

Speaker 3408.38s - 410.06s

a line here called Robotech ORG.

Speaker 5410.72s - 415.94s

And I believe it was the one of the destroids from Macross ORG was part of that line.

Speaker 2416.4s - 421.14s

So there was like a whole legal thing that happened there where they wanted to, I think

Speaker 3421.14s - 424.52s

they ended up getting into a partnership because Mattel ORG is the company that released all the

Speaker 2424.52s - 427.94s

Robotech ORG toys here after the series came out, I think.

Speaker 3428.38s - 429.64s

Anyway, they kept the name.

Speaker 2429.74s - 431.06s

They decided to keep the name.

Speaker 3431.06s - 432.26s

They liked the name.

Speaker 2432.36s - 437.16s

And it's weird because, like, watching that commercial, it's the same logo.

Speaker 5437.56s - 439.02s

They didn't even change the logo treatment.

Speaker 0439.38s - 440.3s

It's, it's Robotech ORG.

Speaker 5441.22s - 444.4s

So I've been watching, I've been rewatching that series actually lately.

Speaker 4444.5s - 445.22s

I'm almost through

Speaker 2445.22s - 449.06s

the MacCross PRODUCT saga which is the good one but I'm going to watch the whole thing.

Speaker 4449.06s - 449.46s

Nice.

Speaker 5450.06s - 454.94s

And actually this coming weekend Saturday.

Speaker 3455.5s - 455.66s

Yeah.

Speaker 5456.06s - 459.38s

The whatever Saturday is like next Saturday?

Speaker 1460.12s - 460.64s

Yeah.

Speaker 2460.78s - 466.46s

That'll be what the 11th probably is the day that E3 2004 EVENT kicked off. Oh, the 11th? Probably. Is the day that E3 2004 kicked off.

Speaker 5466.56s - 467.78s

Oh, the 11th.

Speaker 2467.86s - 473.92s

And that was the year that Robotech invasion was at E3, which was the first game I ever worked on.

Speaker 1474.04s - 474.96s

Oh, my goodness.

Speaker 2476.1s - 476.6s

Yep.

Speaker 1477.08s - 477.76s

There it is.

Speaker 5478.64s - 480.58s

It's all coming back around.

Speaker 4480.7s - 481.82s

It's all. It's a grand.

Speaker 5481.82s - 482.76s

We just in a full circle.

Speaker 4483.12s - 483.34s

Yep.

Speaker 5483.98s - 486.7s

And that game's getting some sort of a big remaster for the occasion?

Speaker 4487.3s - 490.44s

No. Oh. Never mind.

Speaker 5491.4s - 501.54s

I mean, the game doesn't suck. It's not great either, but. Hell. Didn't suck. Good. But that's pretty cool.I have a little die cast of Alchrie as well that actually Crispin Boyer PERSON gave me.

Speaker 4501.74s - 506.22s

I forget, I don't know if it was like a Christmas thing or, yeah, it's smaller than that one,

Speaker 5506.32s - 506.78s

but it's,

Speaker 4506.88s - 508.94s

but it's in a nice little, little, uh, case.

Speaker 5509.4s - 511.6s

Very nice. Yeah. Yeah,

Speaker 4511.6s - 512.72s

you know what this was.

Speaker 5513.16s - 519.64s

Actually, this, this was not from Big Bad. This was from HobbyLink Japan ORG. Okay. And,uh, you know,

Speaker 4519.68s - 528.64s

Hobby Link Japan ORG, you're, it's, it's, it's based in Japan GPE. So you're,you know, you're paying a fair amount for shipping.

Speaker 5532.46s - 532.58s

So usually when I live in Canada GPE, we pay a fair amount of shipping. Well, that's, that's actually true.

Speaker 4539.1s - 539.92s

Yeah. But, you know, here is a, as a U.S. GPE citizen, I'm not used to paying a lot for shipping.

Speaker 5554.96s - 555.86s

So when I am freedom. Well, that's just it, right? Yeah. And so when I'm ordering something from HobbyLink Japan ORG, I will maybe throw a few more things in the box just to offset the shipping cost. Make a thing a little less.

Speaker 4556.04s - 556.46s

Exactly.

Speaker 5557.16s - 557.38s

Yeah.

Speaker 4557.56s - 558.6s

And this was one of the.

Speaker 2559.56s - 559.92s

Nice.

Speaker 5560.04s - 561.06s

One of the little things I found.

Speaker 4561.2s - 570.16s

So I was like, okay. I'll spend. I mean, this was probably seven or eight bucks. You know, not much. An iconic.

Speaker 5570.72s - 571.22s

Here we go.

Speaker 4572.22s - 575.62s

Vehicle from an iconic anime series.

Speaker 5576.24s - 578.22s

Absolutely. Absolutely.

Speaker 2578.82s - 583.34s

Listen, let's look at some news. CJ PERSON left us some news on the outlet.

Speaker 1584.08s - 584.58s

He did.

Speaker 2584.9s - 585.16s

And we're going to start right at the top here. Apparently, the ESRB, I believe. Let's look at some news. CJ PERSON left us some news on the outlet. He did. He did.

Speaker 5586.54s - 586.64s

And we're going to start right at the top here.

Speaker 4590.32s - 590.82s

Apparently, the ESRB ORG, I believe.

Speaker 5593.4s - 593.86s

There is an ESRB ORG rating out there.

Speaker 4596.8s - 597.06s

Electrostatic robotic buttocks.

Speaker 5598.04s - 598.18s

That's exactly it.

Speaker 4599.48s - 601.54s

Established in the mid 90s.

Speaker 5606.26s - 610.96s

For a title called Nintendo ORG World Championships NES edition. I saw this. The Switch PRODUCT. Yeah.

Speaker 4611.2s - 622.14s

So. Nobody really knows what it is, though, right? No, the scuttlebut is. And it's funny because on the internet, you never know how much of this is real and how much of this is wishful thinking. Right.

Speaker 5622.14s - 642.96s

On the part of the people reporting it. But thinking is that this is a might be a remake of the Nintendo World Championships 1990 game cartridge, which of course that was a, I'm going to look here. Actually, no, there is a description. According to the description

Speaker 4642.96s - 678.14s

there are three games in it. Yep. It's a collection of 2D challenges and platformer games in which players traverse through various modes, speed run, survival, etc. Several challenges involve reaching specific points, while others prompt players to defeat small enemies or survive brief battles. Some games depict pixelated characters using small swords or arrows to strike in enemies.Enemies typically get stunned or disappear in a flash. So, of course, yeah, the Nintendo World Championships EVENT was a tournament. I think it was a nationwide tournament. It was. That took place in 1990 in the United States GPE. I attended it.Did you really?

Speaker 5678.14s - 678.5s

Thank you.

Speaker 4679.4s - 679.6s

Nice.

Speaker 5679.8s - 680.5s

Did you compete?

Speaker 4680.7s - 686.76s

I did not compete in it. My buddy who I went there with competed in it. He did not win. No. So he didn I went there with competed in it. He did not win.

Speaker 3688.8s - 689.42s

No. So he didn't win the part of the wizard?

Speaker 1691.96s - 694.4s

No. No, he was not allowed up. Well, this actually, I think it predated.

Speaker 3694.96s - 697.98s

Yeah, it does. Yeah. But yeah, that was my buddy

Speaker 4697.98s - 700.92s

Jim PERSON, who actually did win a couple video game tournaments that we

Speaker 3700.92s - 703.96s

attended back in the day. She's the one who won a Turbo Express PRODUCT.

Speaker 4704.18s - 705.18s

Yes, indeed, he is. See, I pay. She's the one who won a Turbo Express PRODUCT. Yes, indeed he is.

Speaker 3705.26s - 706.46s

See, I pay attention to these stories.

Speaker 4706.46s - 709.84s

He won a whole big turbographics.

Speaker 5710.76s - 713.18s

Like he got the he got the turbographics.

Speaker 4713.34s - 715.92s

He got the CD. He got a whole bunch of games.

Speaker 0716s - 719.84s

He got a brand new NEC ORG television.

Speaker 2721.04s - 721.44s

Nice.

Speaker 4721.56s - 733.88s

As part of it. Yeah, it was pretty outstanding. But no, he did not win the Nintendo World Championship EVENT. I did not bother competing because I knew I wouldn't win.

Speaker 5734.6s - 744.18s

And what you could do, how you competed was there was a special cartridge made that featured different, I'll say levels, challenges is what they call them here.

Speaker 3744.76s - 745.62s

For Super Mario Brothers, Rad racer, and Tet PRODUCT is what they call them here, for Super Mario

Speaker 5745.62s - 760.1s

Brothers, Rad Racer, and Tetris PRODUCT. And it wasn't, you didn't choose which one you were going to do. It was, you know, it was a linear from start to finish. I think it started with Mario PERSON. Yep. And you had to do, I don't know if it was just complete a level, get to a certain score.

Speaker 4760.3s - 774.78s

If I remember correctly, and this is, I could be completely wrong, but if I remember correctly, you started off with Mario and I think maybe the first challenge was like to collect X number of coins, like 50 coins or 100 coins.

Speaker 5774.78s - 779.6s

That makes sense. And then once you did that, I believe it went straight to Radracer PRODUCT.

Speaker 2780.04s - 780.48s

Yep.

Speaker 4780.66s - 786.62s

And you had to just like compete like one race as quickly as you could. Mm-hmm.

Speaker 2786.96s - 791.32s

And then it goes to Tetris PRODUCT and then basically because the whole,

Speaker 4791.62s - 795.58s

the whole contest was timed. And I forget if it was like.

Speaker 5796.12s - 799.46s

Yeah. So the idea was to finish it in the least amount of time, I think.

Speaker 4799.54s - 820.5s

Yeah. And then because once you got to Tetris PRODUCT, you basically just played out the clock to try to get as highest score as possible. Right. I believe maybe. I've done no research.This is me remembering vaguely things from years ago. So this was,

Speaker 5820.62s - 844.62s

and this was not a, like this was a thing that wasn't just Nintendo ORG. Nintendo, I think, was the first to do it. Although I say that, I mean, Atari ran contests in the 2,600 days DATE too, but I doubt they were anything this custom. Right. You know what I mean?I think they were just more like score challenges for specific games. But there was a, Blockbuster did the same thing with this with Genesis PRODUCT.

Speaker 4845.42s - 852.8s

Yeah. And I think maybe Nintendo ORG as well. It was it was an acclaim thing though. Like the

Speaker 5852.8s - 858s

claims title is actually on the cartridge. But there are Blockbuster World Championship PRODUCT cartridges

Speaker 0858s - 865.38s

floating around, usually reprosed for the Genesis PRODUCT. I forget what was on that, but, oh, there it is.

Speaker 5866.04s - 871.58s

It was some versions of NBA jam tournament edition and Judge Dread PRODUCT.

Speaker 0871.82s - 872.9s

That was the second one.

Speaker 5873.14s - 873.7s

Okay.

Speaker 4874.6s - 883.38s

Yeah. Wow. That would not reach the level of cultural relevance at the Nintendo ORG world championships. Yeah.

Speaker 5883.68s - 887.88s

There was a super Nintendo version from Blockbuster 2, which apparently featured some Donkey Kong country World Championships. Yeah. There was a Super Nintendo PRODUCT version from Blockbuster 2 which apparently featured some Donkey Kong country

Speaker 4887.88s - 899.64s

content. Yeah. Yes. There was also the Star Fox weekend. Right. Which I did compete in and almost won at my local mall.

Speaker 2899.82s - 902.02s

Yeah. Yeah, the

Speaker 4902.02s - 905.8s

they were holding it at the KB ORG toys at the mall

Speaker 2905.8s - 911.98s

and I was working at Babbage's ORG at the time so I took my lunch break and I ran over there competed

Speaker 4911.98s - 913.76s

got an

Speaker 2913.76s - 915.72s

you know what I'm going to say it

Speaker 4915.72s - 920.68s

an exceptionally high score okay because

Speaker 5920.68s - 922.84s

I was good at Star Fox

Speaker 4922.84s - 925.1s

and this competition was being held if it runs at 10 frames a second Phil was good at Star Fox PRODUCT. And this competition was being held.

Speaker 5925.78s - 929.48s

If it runs at 10 frames a second, Phil PERSON is good at it.

Speaker 4929.48s - 930.04s

Are you kidding?

Speaker 5930.14s - 932.58s

My mind is tuned to that level.

Speaker 4932.58s - 933.54s

Tunes to 10 frames for second.

Speaker 5933.66s - 934.18s

Yeah. Absolutely.

Speaker 4935.78s - 961.72s

And I got a very high score. And it held all weekend. I was the top score all weekend. But then there was this one jackass. What would be great as if it was CJ PERSON, but keep going. Now, it wasn't CJ PERSON.It was some jackass kid who, I believe he worked at the arcade at the mall, the Aladdin's castle.

Speaker 5962.5s - 963.8s

I already don't like him.

Speaker 4963.8s - 965.8s

And he would come into Babbage's ORG all the time

Speaker 2965.8s - 969.88s

and just stand around and talk with us.

Speaker 5970.12s - 971.18s

Was it Andy Barron PERSON?

Speaker 4971.56s - 972.68s

No, no, no, no.

Speaker 5973.84s - 975.56s

But he was

Speaker 4975.56s - 1019.76s

very determined to beat my high score and he would constantly, he would, like all weekend, he would come into the store multiple times a day to give me updates oh wow because he was he was entering multiple times right to try and beat my scoring oh i'm i'm just a couple thousand points short but i'm going i'm going I'm going. I'm going to beat you. I'm going to knock you off the leaderboard. I'm just like, okay, buddy, what, you know, but he finally did. He did. He finally did.And he got the Star Fox weekend jacket. That was the prize. Stole it from me.

Speaker 51022.5s - 1030.04s

Very disappointing. It's a traumatic story. Yeah. Did you ever look one up on ebay and buy it years later

Speaker 41030.04s - 1038.86s

you know what no although now i am i am now you are i am just how you put your hand on the mouse

Speaker 51038.86s - 1044.76s

yeah no weekend hey did you ever you get any video game contest you actually won uh no i've i

Speaker 41044.76s - 1046.56s

really goodness gracious.

Speaker 51047.44s - 1048.44s

A little expensive, huh?

Speaker 21049.44s - 1055.36s

I mean, it's only like $2,000 MONEY.

Speaker 51056.06s - 1057.08s

Oh my God.

Speaker 21057.8s - 1058.44s

Well, no, you know what?

Speaker 41058.46s - 1059.56s

Here's one for 1,400.

Speaker 21060.16s - 1061.26s

Oh, that's reasonable.

Speaker 41061.48s - 1062.6s

Yeah, this one's not too bad.

Speaker 21062.62s - 1063.44s

And I'm sure it would fit.

Speaker 41067.94s - 1068.92s

Oh, that's reasonable. Yeah, this one's not too bad. And I'm sure it would fit. Oh, goodness.

Speaker 31070.36s - 1071.88s

Anyway, pretty cool.

Speaker 51071.98s - 1085.72s

I hope that's what this is. I mean, it would be kind of neat for them to release something that was just sort of in the spirit of it too, but it would really cool if it was an official, you know, Nintendo ORG release of the Nintendo World Championship

Speaker 41085.72s - 1102.56s

1990. Well, here's, here's my hopes. My hopes is that it's it's more of a like a NES PRODUCT remix stylegame

Speaker 21102.56s - 1108.18s

that kind of, you know, runs the full gamut of NES PRODUCT history.

Speaker 41108.68s - 1109.28s

Sure.

Speaker 21109.92s - 1119.46s

Kind of wrapped around the, you know, the sort of a theme of the world championships.

Speaker 41119.46s - 1132.26s

But then also within that game have a world championships mode in there that recreates that. Although, you know, with Tetris PRODUCT being in there, that might be.

Speaker 51132.26s - 1136.16s

Well, that's what makes me wonder if it would be, yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 41136.3s - 1136.76s

But you never know.

Speaker 51136.82s - 1139.8s

I mean, the Tetris PRODUCT company licenses. They do.

Speaker 31140.08s - 1147.12s

They do. You know, they don't seem to be as long as it's going to be handled properly. I can't imagine that they would have a problem with it.

Speaker 51147.92s - 1154.46s

So speaking of which, too, old, older gamers, oldsters like us.

Speaker 01154.58s - 1154.86s

Right.

Speaker 11155.32s - 1160.24s

Might remember that the Nintendo World Championships 1990 is where Thor Ackarland PERSON.

Speaker 01160.9s - 1161.82s

That's right.

Speaker 51162.32s - 1164.1s

Came from. That is true.

Speaker 01164.1s - 1168.22s

He was one of the winners of the Nintendo World Championships in 1990.

Speaker 11168.48s - 1169.4s

Nobody has the idea.

Speaker 01169.4s - 1173.62s

I'm on his Wikipedia page for which he was bestowed a Mario trophy, a $10,000 US

Speaker 51173.62s - 1201.72s

savings bond, a 1990 Geo Metro PRODUCT convertible. Oh my goodness. Those were just the versions. They forgot to put the roofs on. And a 40 inch rear projection television. Oh roofs on. And a 40-inch rear projection television. Oh, my gosh.And a golden Mario PERSON trophy. But the reason why he became famous, infamous was he soon became a spokesperson for Comerica ORG.

Speaker 01201.88s - 1202.28s

Yes.

Speaker 21203.44s - 1209.92s

Comerica, of course, was a producer of unlicensed Nintendo ORG games.

Speaker 11210.64s - 1214.86s

And also the company that released the game genie here in Canada GPE.

Speaker 21215.12s - 1215.64s

Yes.

Speaker 51216.1s - 1222.72s

Which at the time, Nintendo was in a heated legal battle to keep the game genie from being released by Galub in the United States GPE.

Speaker 01222.98s - 1225.04s

So it was the, yeah, Thor Ackland PERSON.

Speaker 41225.46s - 1225.9s

It was a,

Speaker 51225.9s - 1228.54s

it was an ultimate anime betrayal.

Speaker 41229.82s - 1230.22s

Yep,

Speaker 51230.56s - 1231.14s

it really was.

Speaker 41231.14s - 1233.9s

The world champion started plugging unlicensed.

Speaker 51235.22s - 1236.08s

Comerica ORG games.

Speaker 41236.24s - 1239.84s

Yeah. What's he doing these days?

Speaker 51240.62s - 1249.84s

I just turned off his Wikipedia page, so I don't know. He's aging like us. He's born in 1977. Yeah. So anyway, so I don't know. He's aging like us. He's born in 1977. Yeah. So anyway, so that's a thing.

Speaker 01250.14s - 1253.08s

Hopefully that's going to be cool.

Speaker 11253.24s - 1260.46s

Something else on the list here that I think you're going to be not only more knowledgeable about, but probably more excited about.

Speaker 01260.7s - 1261.12s

What's that?

Speaker 51262.04s - 1268.34s

The Tetris 7-Eleven ORG handheld. Oh. Oh, believe you me.

Speaker 41268.34s - 1269.54s

Explain to the listeners.

Speaker 21270.12s - 1270.4s

Okay.

Speaker 41271.6s - 1353.8s

So last year, I believe it was last year, 7-Eleven ORG did a collaboration with Namco and produced some Pac-Mancross-7-Eleven ORG merchandise. I have occasionally worn my Pac-Man 7-Eleven ORG shirt on our show. And they put out a line of years. You know, shirts and cloth bags and stickers and things like that. And this year, they're doing a Tetris PRODUCT collaboration.I have already ordered a shirt. I'll have you know. There it is. But more exciting than that is that they are releasing a playable game. They're actually releasing a toy. It is aplastic slurpy cup with a screen and buttons built into it. So you can now play Tetris on a replica slurpy cup.And it is currently, you can, you can, you can enter a contest if you use like the 7-Eleven ORG app or something and buy specific things.

Speaker 51354.36s - 1360.42s

You can, you can enter a contest to win one or they're going to be selling them through

Speaker 41360.42s - 1390.16s

their website. So I will absolutely be buying one the second they are available. It will go perfectly with my Tetris chicken nugget. I was going to say, yeah.Yeah. In the hot mustard sauce. In my hot mustard sauce, it's currently over on one of my display cabinets up there. I am looking forward to performing a whole fake meal.Mm-hmm.

Speaker 51390.4s - 1391.2s

Of Tetris PRODUCT products.

Speaker 41391.36s - 1393.1s

Of Tetris PRODUCT products.

Speaker 51394.14s - 1396.24s

Eat some French NORP fries.

Speaker 41396.42s - 1397.2s

Eat some sort of side.

Speaker 51397.44s - 1398.56s

Yeah, that's just it, right?

Speaker 41399s - 1408.8s

We'll get there someday. Maybe a dessert. Some other food chain or restaurant or something will do another Tetris PRODUCT cross promotion.

Speaker 51410.02s - 1420.94s

See, and this is the reason why I feel like it wouldn't be weird for, you know, the Tetris PRODUCT company to license the Nintendo World Championship EVENT. That's true.

Speaker 41421.32s - 1443.14s

They're not the weirdest thing they're licensing Tetris PRODUCT for. They licensed it for a McNugget PRODUCT for crying out loud. Yeah. So, but yeah, I'm very excited about the 7-ElevenTetris PRODUCT slurpy cup. So. You will be updated the moment mine arrives.

Speaker 51443.34s - 1444s

Oh, I know.

Speaker 21444.34s - 1447.52s

I know. I know. Yeah. It is kind of neat.

Speaker 51449.56s - 1473.62s

Moving on. Yeah. I'm actually a little bit bummed about this. What's that? Because I don't own a Quest 3 PRODUCT. But this past week,Batman Arkham Shadow PRODUCT. Oh? Was announced for the Quest 3 PRODUCT. So it's another VR Batman experience, this time from camouflage. Okay.Makers of the Ironman VR PRODUCT. Oh,

Speaker 21473.72s - 1475.74s

that's right. They did do that. Yep.

Speaker 51476.68s - 1495.8s

And, you know, the reason I'm a little bit bummed is I don't have a Quest 3 PRODUCT. Right. You don't really want to buy a Quest 3 PRODUCT. But one of my very first VR game experiences was, of course, a Batman PERSON game, because when the PSVR 1 PRODUCT came out, I forget what it was called.Was it just Arkham VR or Batman VR PRODUCT?

Speaker 41496.16s - 1497.7s

Yeah, I don't remember that thing.

Speaker 51497.88s - 1499.96s

I do remember it, but I don't remember what it was called.

Speaker 41500.88s - 1506.46s

But anyway, so it's like, oh, and plus, you know, anything batman and of course anything in the arkham series

Speaker 51506.46s - 1511.04s

like i'm i'm all in on all that but not all in enough to go by a quest three

Speaker 31511.04s - 1518.46s

and i believe this is being published by oculus they own camouflage don't they or oh do they

Speaker 51518.46s - 1526.66s

do i have that backwards i'm not really sure either way um i doubt it'll be coming to the PSVR PRODUCT too.

Speaker 11528.16s - 1529.06s

Probably not.

Speaker 51529.92s - 1531.94s

Yeah, it's being published by Oculus Studios ORG.

Speaker 31532.3s - 1532.68s

Oh, okay.

Speaker 51533.42s - 1547.72s

So. Oh, yeah. But the teaser trailer didn't really show much. I mean, if the gameplay is, uh,like it is in that trailer, it's going to be vomit inducing but I doubt it is what's shown in that trailer

Speaker 11547.72s - 1549.8s

and yes um camouflage is

Speaker 41549.8s - 1551.9s

a subsidiary of Oculus Studios ORG so

Speaker 11551.9s - 1553.8s

it definitely will be coming to the PSVR

Speaker 41553.8s - 1556s

um is it only coming

Speaker 11556s - 1557.22s

out on Quest 3 PRODUCT or

Speaker 41557.22s - 1558.52s

that's what it said

Speaker 11558.52s - 1559.5s

only on Quest 3

Speaker 41559.5s - 1560.58s

the taser yep

Speaker 51560.58s - 1563.22s

boo so yeah

Speaker 11563.22s - 1563.88s

oh well

Speaker 41563.88s - 1565.98s

I said a bit of a bummer.

Speaker 51566.54s - 1568s

But I mean, cool that it's happening.

Speaker 41568.18s - 1570.4s

Don't get me wrong, but a bit of a bummer.

Speaker 51571.5s - 1571.86s

Yes.

Speaker 41572.32s - 1572.5s

Me.

Speaker 51574.7s - 1579s

In further news about games that I won't probably play, but this one looks really cute.

Speaker 41579.58s - 1580.2s

Q games.

Speaker 51580.2s - 1581.26s

Remember Q PRODUCT games?

Speaker 41582.18s - 1583.5s

I think they did the pixel junk.

Speaker 51583.96s - 1584.7s

Oh, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 41585.02s - 1585.28s

Series? Yes. Has revealed a new, it's like a co-op puzzle game. You remember Q games? I think they did the pixel junk. Oh, yeah, yeah. Series.

Speaker 51585.48s - 1609.86s

Yes. Has revealed a new, it's like a co-op puzzle game from the looks of it called All You Need is Help. Okay. Which, yeah, it's a multiplayer co-op puzzle game where you're just sort of big, fluffy. You're not a mashup of two Beatles PERSON songs.Right. Yeah. You're not, I forget how to say this probably, Tetraminos, Tetraminos. Tetraminos?

Speaker 11609.86s - 1611.08s

They're not necessarily tetraminos,

Speaker 51611.08s - 1612.62s

but they kind of look like tetraminos.

Speaker 31612.76s - 1614.28s

You play like old soft,

Speaker 11614.7s - 1617.32s

fluffy tetramino pieces. Okay.

Speaker 31618.56s - 1620.52s

And it just looks like you're doing a series of puzzles.

Speaker 51620.6s - 1621.78s

It looks like it's a four player game.

Speaker 11622.62s - 1624.9s

And like some of them look like they're as simple as

Speaker 31624.9s - 1628.16s

trying to figure out how the four of you should

Speaker 51628.16s - 1644.7s

place yourselves on like a grid so that you cover all of the light blocks or something like that. Some of them look way more involved than that. Like pushing around a ball of yarn or I don't know. There was a lot going on in the trailer. It looks like something you probably really like. You know what it is?

Speaker 41645.9s - 1653.76s

It's like 10 grams. Never put tan grams QUANTITY? Yeah. But it's not just that.

Speaker 51653.82s - 1660.26s

That's what I'm saying. Right, right, right. That's where the trailer starts, but then it kind of goes places. Yeah, I'm watching it now.

Speaker 41660.96s - 1663s

You know what this looks like to me?

Speaker 51663.96s - 1674.12s

This looks like one of those kind of games that I would find really fun for like 15 or 20 minutes DATE and then be like, yeah, okay, I'm, I'm sick of this.

Speaker 41674.7s - 1675.14s

Yeah.

Speaker 01675.7s - 1680.32s

Just because it would get to a point where I'd have to start thinking too much.

Speaker 21682.44s - 1683.58s

Who wants to do that?

Speaker 01683.7s - 1684.08s

Exactly.

Speaker 41684.8s - 1685.28s

But it looks really cute. Oh, it's going to do that? Exactly. But it looks,

Speaker 51685.4s - 1686.56s

it looks really cute.

Speaker 21687.64s - 1688.02s

Oh,

Speaker 51688.04s - 1689.02s

it's going to be on game pass.

Speaker 41689.94s - 1691.24s

Yep. Okay. Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 51691.24s - 1693.16s

It's Microsoft ORG, right? Yeah.

Speaker 41694.02s - 1694.42s

Which,

Speaker 51694.42s - 1729.64s

again, they probably own cute games and I just don't remember that. Yeah. I'll give that a play, though. It looks really cute.Oh, maybe, yeah, it is Microsoft ORG. Yeah, it does look really cute. And yeah, since it's on game pass, it's perfect, because you can play it is Microsoft ORG. Yeah, it does look really cute.And yeah, since it's on Game Pass, it's perfect because you can play it for that 15 minutes, until you get to the point that you have to think too much. Yeah. And put it away and all you paid was your subscription cost. Exactly. And then finally, speaking of Xbox, one more thing here.I feel dirty even bringing this up with CJ PERSON, not here. Oh. Humanity was announced for the Xbox PRODUCT. That's true. It's past week. I've never played it.

Speaker 41730.36s - 1731.34s

You've never played this game?

Speaker 51731.82s - 1732.54s

I lie.

Speaker 41732.62s - 1739.26s

I played it a little bit. Oh my goodness. I played it quite a bit. I'll have you know. You're going to play it again on Xbox PRODUCT?

Speaker 51743.1s - 1743.92s

CJ PERSON's not listening.

Speaker 41743.92s - 1745.12s

Does he listen to this show

Speaker 21745.12s - 1745.78s

when he's not on?

Speaker 41745.78s - 1745.9s

No.

Speaker 51747.66s - 1748.86s

That game

Speaker 41748.86s - 1768.48s

is a big steaming pile of quality craftsmanship and fantastic level designinnovation out the wazoo what a treat a master class in game design.

Speaker 21771.52s - 1772.7s

No, it's a good game.

Speaker 41772.8s - 1797.26s

It is a good game. I can't say I'm going to play it again on Xbox because I do, I still need to pick it up for the quest because I want to play it in virtual VR. So I may not play it againon the Xbox because I'm going to play it on VR, but array that it's, you're only one man.

Speaker 21797.9s - 1797.92s

So.

Speaker 51798.06s - 1798.24s

Yeah.

Speaker 21801.18s - 1803.42s

But very good news that it's coming out for Xbox PRODUCT,

Speaker 41803.42s - 1806.28s

so people there can play it

Speaker 21806.28s - 1814.5s

is there game pass it is oh almost definitely yeah it is I'm looking at the website

Speaker 41814.5s - 1819.8s

if only we had someone we knew that could come on the show and tell us I know he's

Speaker 51819.8s - 1825.62s

making us do his ads for him now yeah right, right? That's why I felt dirty.

Speaker 41825.82s - 1825.96s

Yeah.

Speaker 51825.96s - 1826.42s

About it.

Speaker 41826.54s - 1827.24s

No, I get it.

Speaker 51828.38s - 1830.48s

Anyway, that's all the news.

Speaker 41830.48s - 1832.26s

That's all the news that broke this week.

Speaker 51832.52s - 1833.84s

And we fixed it.

Speaker 41834.08s - 1834.4s

So,

Speaker 51834.52s - 1834.72s

Ray PERSON.

Speaker 41835.52s - 1835.96s

Yep.

Speaker 51836.36s - 1837.28s

Let's move on.

Speaker 41837.66s - 1838.08s

Okay.

Speaker 51838.22s - 1839.52s

To what you've been playing.

Speaker 41839.72s - 1840.48s

And Phil PERSON.

Speaker 51840.72s - 1841.12s

Yeah.

Speaker 21841.66s - 1843.12s

I see that you finished a game this week.

Speaker 41843.24s - 1843.68s

I did.

Speaker 21843.72s - 1844.86s

I finished another game.

Speaker 41844.92s - 1845.76s

I'm on a roll. Wow. That's like two. That is two. I see that you finished a game this week. I did. I finished another game. I'm on a roll.

Speaker 51846.26s - 1846.5s

Wow.

Speaker 41846.54s - 1869.4s

That's like two. That is two. I finished like a dragon guide in. How many hours? That one. Knocking on 40, I believe.It's not bad. No, because it's a, you know, it's a, it's a, it's a side story. Mm-hmm story as the name says like a dragon gaden

Speaker 51869.4s - 1875.4s

yep uh so it is it is definitely meant to be shorter than the average

Speaker 41875.4s - 1886.42s

like a dragon or yakuza game and uh i did not completely hundred percent that i didn't get my platinum trophy for it I did leave a few

Speaker 21886.42s - 1888.58s

of things undone

Speaker 41888.58s - 1916.18s

at one point in the game you you gain access to like a coliseum battle and there are many many fights you can have in there of varyingincreased difficulty and I got up to the highest levels and did a few of them you can have in there of varying increased difficulty. And I got up to the highest levels and did a few of them. And then I was like, eh, that's starting to get a little too tough now.

Speaker 21925.22s - 1925.66s

And there's a couple kind of, you know, a high level optional bosses you can fight that again.

Speaker 41927.9s - 1974.42s

I love optional bosses because that means I don't have to fight them. Exactly. I fought the first two that I were able to beat with minimal frustration. And then I got to the third one. And I think there's five total. And I got to the third one.And it's a time limit. You have to, you know, there's like a whole big swarm of enemies and you have to defeat them all within a time limit. And I was, the couple times I did it, I got the final guy down to like a sliver of health before I ran out of time. Ugh, I was just like, you know what? It ain't worth it.And I didn't mess around too much with the slot car racing mini game.

Speaker 51975.24s - 1976.5s

That'd be the only thing I'd do.

Speaker 41977.06s - 1978.58s

I mean, it's, it's, you know, it's kind of fun.

Speaker 51979.48s - 1982.02s

But I was just like, I don't, I don't have time for this.

Speaker 41983.22s - 2009.64s

So. But I finished it. I finished the story. The game does. Of course, crossover.Spoilers, I guess, for like a dragon guide. Oh, hi, Winter. How are you? Winter's coming. One of my cats is here. Are you going to come up on my lap?Or you just like chilling? You just want some critches here.

Speaker 22010.06s - 2010.56s

There we go.

Speaker 42011.6s - 2092.08s

But the, the game does indeed crossover with the Yakuzalike a dragon game. Because there is, of course, a point in that game where youyou cross paths with, you know, playing as Ichibon, you cross paths with Kiryu PERSON. And then you end up in the final chapter seeing that battle from Kiriou PERSON's perspective. That's pretty cool, which was neat. And, you know, it was very, I was just very amused because when I got to that part and Ichibon PERSON and his crew show up again,I suddenly became very happy. And I was just, oh, oh, boy, Ichibon PERSON. I get to see Ichibon PERSON again. What a treat. This game suddenly is a game suddenly making me feel a lot happierout of the Dichi Bonn's here. So I finished that and it sets it up. It does kind of segue straight into the next game. So now I willnow I will start playing Infinite Wealth, which I took a couple days off.

Speaker 52094.18s - 2095.58s

I'm shocked that you're playing

Speaker 42095.58s - 2098.18s

back-to-back Yakuza ORG games, personally.

Speaker 52098.38s - 2100.14s

I shouldn't even say that, back-to-back

Speaker 42100.14s - 2101.94s

any game from any franchise.

Speaker 52102.14s - 2113s

That is true. That's, I'm, yeah yeah that's not a thing i would do that is that is oh oh here's my kid he's home now i say that and i've been playing nothing

Speaker 42113s - 2119s

with final fantasy games all year yeah exactly so you know you know yeah hold on a second

Speaker 52119s - 2126.8s

okay um i don't know what to say here because there's no one else to talk to while Phil PERSON's busy.

Speaker 42127.22s - 2128.98s

I just I just had to say hi to my kid.

Speaker 52129.1s - 2133.06s

He had a good time. We're going to have a conversation. Indoor skydiving. And he lived.

Speaker 42133.3s - 2139.6s

He did. So great. Yes. And he brought in a big box of cake, I hope.

Speaker 22140.1s - 2141.94s

No, it's an Amazon ORG thing.

Speaker 42144.82s - 2145.6s

There we go.

Speaker 22146.32s - 2146.58s

Okay.

Speaker 42146.86s - 2150.06s

I had to tell him to give the box to, to, to, to data.

Speaker 22151.06s - 2159.02s

But, no, that's just, it, it, uh, shows how much I, I love the like a dragon games.

Speaker 42160.52s - 2169.38s

The, uh, the new, new protagonist, the new crew is wonderful and, uh and the RPG setup works really well for it.

Speaker 22169.48s - 2174.62s

So I am very excited to be diving into this new game.

Speaker 42175.84s - 2176.24s

Nice.

Speaker 22176.88s - 2177.08s

Yeah.

Speaker 42179.52s - 2188.02s

The other new game I played this week is the new switch game,

Speaker 22188.22s - 2191.3s

Endless Ocean Luminous PRODUCT.

Speaker 42192.22s - 2197.66s

I remember playing Endless Ocean on the Wii PRODUCT, I believe.

Speaker 52197.78s - 2200.44s

Yes, there were two on Wii PRODUCT.

Speaker 42201.14s - 2203.74s

I had no idea what I was supposed to be doing.

Speaker 52206.76s - 2208.62s

Well, because this is

Speaker 42208.62s - 2265.04s

for those who don't know, this is an underwater exploration game. This is the third in the series. The series skipped the Wii U. I've only played a little bit so far. The game does have a story mode. I didn't mess around with the story mode yet.Okay. But I did, they have like kind of like a free dive mode where you're basically just dumped into a big map and it's just kind of this expansive ocean and you just swim aroundand you look for fish and you scan the fish and it adds it to your little fish database and uh you know i don't know if you recall but it turns out that i apparently have some kind of crippling fear of the ocean i don't know if you remember me talking about playing speaking as someone else who has a crippling fear of the ocean i do don't know if you remember me talking about playing.

Speaker 52268.28s - 2268.74s

Speaking as someone else who has a crippling fear of the ocean, I do remember you talking about that.

Speaker 42268.98s - 2274.46s

Yeah. Playing Astrobot PRODUCT in VR and there's a couple of levels where you go underwater.

Speaker 12275.2s - 2275.48s

Mm-hmm.

Speaker 52275.48s - 2278.36s

That set me into a low-tier panic.

Speaker 42279.02s - 2279.28s

Mm-hmm.

Speaker 12279.48s - 2283.46s

And like a giant, like, robot whale comes up and eats you.

Speaker 42283.6s - 2289.08s

And I shrieked like a frightened child and collapsed on my couch.

Speaker 22292.48s - 2297.88s

So let me tell you, playing endless ocean at like midnight.

Speaker 42298.18s - 2299.82s

The vast endlessness of ocean.

Speaker 22301.12s - 2303.38s

Playing it in the, in the middle of the night.

Speaker 42304.1s - 2306.18s

You know, everyone's going to bed. And I'm like, I'll go to bed in a minute here the night you know everyone's going to bed

Speaker 52306.18s - 2307.98s

and I'm like oh I'll go to bed in a minute here but

Speaker 22307.98s - 2310.68s

you know what I'm going to boot up this game I just got let's see what

Speaker 52310.68s - 2312.52s

this is like to explore yeah

Speaker 42312.52s - 2314.5s

and I'm like oh look at this I'm

Speaker 52314.5s - 2318.32s

I'm swimming around I'm in the water

Speaker 42318.32s - 2353.72s

I'm looking at some fish oh this is cute and then you swim a little bit and then the the ground kind of dips down into a little trench and I'm like oh I guess I'll swim down a little bit and then the ground kind of dips down into a little trench. And I'm like, oh, I guess I'll swim down a little bit and see what's here.And then visibility starts to kind of go away and it gets very, very dark. And you have like a little kind of headlamp or something to sort of illuminate in the very, you know, immediate area in front of you. And then all of a sudden there's like a, you know, shark right there with its hideous mouthful of just nightmares.

Speaker 32357.26s - 2362.46s

And I was just like, oh, I probably shouldn't be playing this right now or perhaps ever.

Speaker 42363.26s - 2411.44s

But, you know, it was, it was neat, it was fun. There's a, I guess this one has like a big multiplayer focus so you can go online and you know, have a terrifying timewith a group of your friends. But yeah, I do want to mess around with the story mode and see what that is. But, yeah. As it was, though, it just seemed like kind of a fun sort of chill. Chill game.Yeah, just explore around. And every now and again, you'll find like a little like treasure box or something underground, or not underground, but under the water that has little goodies for you in it and stuff like that. But yeah, it seems fun.

Speaker 22414.06s - 2421.64s

Probably more fun if you're not terrified of the endless, unexplored depths that are full of

Speaker 52421.64s - 2422.08s

monsters.

Speaker 22423.62s - 2425.3s

So, any of the monsters that bother me.

Speaker 42426.14s - 2426.42s

Oh,

Speaker 52426.46s - 2427.56s

they're all monsters, Greg PERSON.

Speaker 22428.16s - 2428.74s

I did have,

Speaker 52429.32s - 2430.48s

it reminds me of something my,

Speaker 22430.48s - 2431.58s

so my oldest.

Speaker 52432.48s - 2446.18s

So, okay, so yeah, I've mentioned before on this show, but just to recap, we're talking about anxietywhen it comes to the ocean. Yeah. When I was, when I was a kid, right. I almost drowned.I, yes. In a vehicle. Right. I almost drowned. I, yes.

Speaker 42450.66s - 2450.82s

In a vehicle that that drove down a hill and into the ocean.

Speaker 12451.2s - 2451.74s

Right.

Speaker 42453.14s - 2457.6s

That have my brothers and I in it. And so I've always had a phobia. Understandable.

Speaker 52457.82s - 2485.4s

Yeah. So when our kids were born, I was very adamant about how like they're getting into swim lessons, like as early as they can. They're going to be, you know, and my, my ex-wife was very much, you know, she was really into swimming. She loved going to the beach all the time. She was always in the water every chance she got. So I was like, I want them to be like you in that particular way. Not like me, the kid who would go to like pool parties and not get in the pool.

Speaker 32485.7s - 2486.08s

Right.

Speaker 52486.88s - 2498.96s

So my kids have been swimming since, again, pretty much since they were born, which isn't weird. I'm saying that like that's an odd thing. That's a normal thing.But my oldest is, is quite a good swimmer.

Speaker 22499.44s - 2503s

And we have a lake nearby that has a beach that's,

Speaker 52503s - 2511.88s

has lifeguards. Like beach that has lifeguards. Like the city has lifeguards posted there. And they do swim lessons through the summer for free.

Speaker 02512.02s - 2518.98s

So you go up there at a certain time. You're in one of the courses and they do swim lessons, which is great. So my kids used to do that every summer.

Speaker 52519.88s - 2529.22s

And my oldest got to the highest level. And one of the things that they would do to finish the highest level is they would swim across the lake. It's a pretty big lake and back again.

Speaker 12529.98s - 2533s

And when she did it, she was the fastest one in her group.

Speaker 52533.5s - 2566.26s

Oh. You know, so and my aunt is who used to take the kids up to do this. And she said like, oh, honey, that was great. You were the, you were the fastest one in your group by far. Like, that's, that's really awesome. And she, she pulled her down so she could whisper in her ear and said, the reason I'm so fast is because the water's really dark and I don't know what lives down there.So she just wanted to get out as fast as possible. So anyway, whatever motivates you to be your best.

Speaker 42566.8s - 2569.38s

Yeah. That's exactly hilarious.

Speaker 52571.56s - 2572s

Anyway,

Speaker 42572.8s - 2573.42s

cool.

Speaker 52573.54s - 2576.5s

Anything else been playing? That's the,

Speaker 42576.5s - 2584.42s

the bulk of like what I've actually been playing. I played a little like, you know, lodge art grimoire and I,

Speaker 02584.52s - 2584.84s

oh,

Speaker 32584.84s - 2589.04s

you know what, I did pick up a new, uh, I forgot And I, oh, you know what I did pick up a new, I forgot to put this on our list,

Speaker 02589.12s - 2594.3s

but I did pick up a new arcade archive release this week.

Speaker 42594.7s - 2595.08s

Oh.

Speaker 52595.7s - 2596.24s

You know.

Speaker 42597.1s - 2598.7s

I wonder if CJ PERSON played the old one yet.

Speaker 52599.2s - 2600.78s

By the old one, I mean the one that came out last week.

Speaker 42600.78s - 2605.96s

The length CJ seems to go to to not have to talk about Newman Athletics ORG. I think that's

Speaker 52605.96s - 2608.14s

why he left this week. That's why there was a surprise

Speaker 42608.14s - 2620.08s

trip. A game that I am increasingly growing suspicious that CJ PERSON never actually played or enjoyed if he's going through such trouble

Speaker 22620.08s - 2622.1s

to not be on the show

Speaker 42622.1s - 2679.92s

to talk about Newman Athletics ORG with me. Raston PERSON came out. Oh, cool. From Taito ORG. Rastan Saga WORK_OF_ART, I believe, is its original Japanese NORP title.Their Conan the Barbarian WORK_OF_ART game, basically. Yes, and it is, boy, oh boy. I mean, you know, obviously that game has that sort of Conan the barbarian aesthetic. But I forgot like on the arcade version when you when you tossed in your coins and then it switches from the title screen to a, you know, plus press one or two player start.And on that screen there, there is an image of Raston PERSON is, I'm assuming Raston's the character's name. Sure, why not? Okay. There's an image of your character just like sitting on a throne. Yeah, I was going to say. And it's, it's Conan PERSON sitting on the throne.

Speaker 52680.12s - 2682.8s

It just looks, I mean, it's, it looks like Arnold PERSON. Yeah.

Speaker 42682.98s - 2683.14s

Yeah.

Speaker 52683.34s - 2690.54s

It's very blatantly designed to look like Arnold Schwarzenegger as Conan PERSON the barbarian.

Speaker 42690.86s - 2696.22s

When I did the episode of Generation 16 that covered Rastan Saga too, because that came out on the Genesis PRODUCT.

Speaker 52696.84s - 2696.86s

Yes.

Speaker 32696.96s - 2701.84s

But the original Rastan Saga WORK_OF_ART came out on the master system, and it was really well done.

Speaker 42701.9s - 2702.88s

It was really well received.

Speaker 52703.06s - 2712.64s

Okay. And anyway, that image, and I don't remember where I saw the image, if it was because I was playing the arcade version or if it was somehow in the Genesis PRODUCT game, but that was, I remember

Speaker 12712.64s - 2720.78s

seeing that. It's in the video because of that. It's like, this is clearly Arnold Schwarzenegger sitting on the throne at the end of, I think the destroyer, Conan the Destroyer PERSON. Possibly.

Speaker 22720.96s - 2725.04s

One of the two movies anyway. Yeah. So yeah. It's hilarious.

Speaker 52725.42s - 2726.32s

Pretty funny.

Speaker 22726.62s - 2726.94s

But yeah.

Speaker 42728.14s - 2730.54s

Boy, they just didn't care about licensing rights at all back then, did they?

Speaker 52730.58s - 2730.88s

No.

Speaker 42731.78s - 2762.52s

No. We're going to do loving homages. Mm-hmm. I.e. We're just going to blatantly swipe imagery from your movies or TV showsto make our game. But you know what? Raston PERSON's a kind of janky old game. The controls are a little stiff. He doesn't quitemove or control super well.

Speaker 22763.66s - 2766.12s

It's you have a fun game.

Speaker 42767.56s - 2779.18s

It's still a fun little kind of arcade move to the right and slash up a bunch of skeletons and demons kind of game. So.

Speaker 52780.44s - 2782.8s

Cool. Yeah. That's it though. What have you

Speaker 42782.8s - 2785.36s

when have you been playing? Honestly,

Speaker 52785.36s - 2786s

uh,

Speaker 42786s - 2787s

Lodgartre PRODUCT,

Speaker 52787s - 2813.22s

uh, Grumoir PRODUCT. Oh, good. It's pretty much the main thing I've been playing.All I did put some more time into Final Fantasy three PRODUCT. Excellent. Uh, this week. Um, and it had been long enough that I wasn't really sure what I was supposed to do.Oh. Because that game really goes places. Uh, I have a submarine. I, and now I have a gigantic ship.Okay. That can fly over mountain ranges. So the original airship, you get an airship in that game almost immediately. Yeah. Within the first hour or so,

Speaker 32813.54s - 2819.9s

but it can't, it can't fly over mountains. Um, and then when you actually leave the floating

Speaker 52819.9s - 2829.78s

island that you're on, at one point, the ship actually gets the ability to, well, it can transform into a schooner. It's like a sailboat. Oh, okay.

Speaker 32829.82s - 2830.56s

Now I understand.

Speaker 22830.68s - 2831.26s

Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 52831.26s - 2831.6s

Yeah.

Speaker 22832.02s - 2835.24s

And, but eventually it can transform into a submarine.

Speaker 32835.54s - 2835.74s

Oh.

Speaker 22835.82s - 2838.9s

Which opens up a whole other area of the world.

Speaker 52839.18s - 2854.14s

Okay. But it still can't fly over mountain ranges. So I just got the big, the big ship that flies over mountain ranges. And when you get into battles while you're in that ship, the artillery actually opens fire on the enemies that you have on the screen too. And it's pretty neat,pretty cool.

Speaker 02854.82s - 2857.08s

I don't know how close I am to the end of it.

Speaker 12858.08s - 2864.32s

The story has really started to branch out and gotten to the point where it's like, I feel like I can kind of go anywhere right now.

Speaker 32864.56s - 2864.82s

Yeah.

Speaker 52869s - 2880.06s

And the dungeons are starting to get long. Like, and I'm, I'm even playing with the boosts on because that's how I'm playing these games. And, uh, even with the boosts on, the dungeons are starting to get long. Oh.

Speaker 22880.06s - 2891.78s

And this game is notorious for having a final dungeon. That's just like endless. Really? So I'm, you know, I feel like because that's happening, I must be starting to sort of zero in on the end of the game.

Speaker 52892.84s - 2894.26s

But we'll see. Okay.

Speaker 12895.92s - 2899.26s

The other thing that actually was playing this week,

Speaker 52900.22s - 2921.9s

I mentioned last week that I played Strider 1 and 2 on the PlayStation PRODUCT. And sort of capturing footage for Strider 1 and 2 on the PlayStation PRODUCT and sort of capturing footage for some other videos I'm working on and just sort of loading up the PSIO that I have with games. I did that this week and, you know, of course, I had to go test some of them because I'm

Speaker 22921.9s - 2922.5s

sure they work.

Speaker 52922.96s - 2930.46s

So the game I decided to test was bust the groove. Oh. And didn't put it down until I finished it.

Speaker 42930.82s - 2936.86s

I haven't played that game in such a long time. Me neither.

Speaker 52937.06s - 2938.12s

It's so good, though.

Speaker 42938.76s - 2941.12s

It really, it's got a fantastic soundtrack.

Speaker 52941.32s - 2960.82s

Incredible soundtrack, yes. Which I came to realize as I was playing it, I still remember all the lyrics to all those songs. And also remember, if you remember, like, so Bust the Groove, this is a game by Enix, I believe in Metro ORG.

Speaker 12961.86s - 2963.36s

Metro ORG might have been the music group.

Speaker 52964.68s - 2968.12s

And it's just, it's a dance off game. It's like a fighting game, but you're dancing.

Speaker 32968.32s - 2968.88s

It's a rhythm game.

Speaker 52969.6s - 2980.88s

So you choose a character and then you go through level after level where you're, you're again, basically doing a dance off with each of these characters. But the characters are extremely well designed.

Speaker 32981.96s - 2983.86s

And the levels are pretty neat.

Speaker 52983.96s - 3043.68s

They change based on how well you're doing and stuff like that. And it's all sort of like a fighting game mentality where you build up your power bar and you can actually attack them and you can avoid attacks and that sort of thing, which I'd forgotten until one of them did it to me during the game. But it all moves on a beat. So it's like every four beats you need to press a button. And as your combo builds, you actually built, you actually have to input combos on the D pad before you have to press the button on the fourth beat in that bar. And depending on how well you do, things get really crazy.But when they announce each level, they announce it like a fighting game where it's like, I was playing Shorty. Okay. Character Shorty. But it's like the announcer will say Shorty versus and then whatever other character is. But the way the announcer says those names is really over the top, right? Oh, yeah.And I remembered the inflection on every one of those too.

Speaker 23043.68s - 3046.78s

When the screens would come up,

Speaker 53046.78s - 3065.16s

I would recite it along with the announcer because I knew exactly how he was going to say it. My kids were in the room for a lot of it and they thought I was nuts. But I really enjoyed it. God, that was such a good game. Yeah. It was a shame about the sequel, but.I didn't think the sequel was bad. But it wasn't as good as the first game.

Speaker 43065.24s - 3065.82s

No, but.

Speaker 23066.72s - 3069.12s

So it's how do you, how do you top?

Speaker 43069.12s - 3075.18s

Was there, was there like a freestyle mode in this game?

Speaker 53075.18s - 3078.3s

Like, I feel like I always felt like I really liked the game.

Speaker 43078.38s - 3082.64s

I could finish the game, but I felt like there was something I, there's like some other,

Speaker 23082.94s - 3091.88s

not mode, but like commands that aren't on the screen that you can do to get them to do different dance animations.

Speaker 53091.88s - 3094.22s

And I just never really knew it or no, it was never really good at it.

Speaker 33094.22s - 3095.66s

But I don't remember.

Speaker 53096.32s - 3127.3s

But either way. Yeah. Yeah, I was playing that. But that's really it. That's all I was really playing this week. Working on videos and stuff like that.And my kids' sports schedules are a little bit crazy. Well. And, yeah. So that's it. That's all I got. All right.That means hopefully it's time for social media questions, a.k.a. Tweets. It's time for social media questions, aka tweets.

Speaker 43127.84s - 3136.6s

Do you do, little, did, little, d, little, do so social media. There you go.

Speaker 53137.28s - 3148.88s

I did it. So we've only got a few of these here, but I did manage to find them this time. So coming from, the first one here is from Hacker Alias, Sean Feld 5A.

Speaker 43149.44s - 3154.24s

Bim, bim, bing, bing, bing, bidu, bing, bidu, bf.

Speaker 53155.32s - 3160.04s

Were you excited about how Jerry told us how wokeness of killing comedy this week?

Speaker 43160.24s - 3161.22s

Oh, boy.

Speaker 53162.78s - 3166.66s

Every time I hear it, man second. Man, you too. Come on.

Speaker 43167.42s - 3168.12s

I liked you.

Speaker 53168.3s - 3168.86s

I like your show.

Speaker 43169.74s - 3175.08s

Apparently his pop-dart movie is pretty bad too. Well, I kind of expected that would be the case.

Speaker 53175.88s - 3176s

Yeah.

Speaker 43177.84s - 3179.96s

Anyway, he asks, not Jerry Seinfeld PERSON,

Speaker 53180.1s - 3181.52s

Sean PERSON here, asks,

Speaker 33181.58s - 3185.34s

what game you most looking forward to this year? Oh my gosh. What game are you most looking forward to this year? Oh, my gosh.

Speaker 53186.14s - 3189.22s

What came are you most looking forward to this year? Oh, geez.

Speaker 13189.22s - 3191.12s

I'll tell you what. I don't have a whole lot on my list.

Speaker 53192.38s - 3198.28s

What's coming out this year? Exactly. That's exactly the problem.

Speaker 43198.88s - 3200.04s

That's terrible, right?

Speaker 53200.4s - 3201.38s

I don't know.

Speaker 43201.46s - 3215.52s

And it's May. I'll tell you what I'm looking forward to is starting up like a dragon infinite wealth that's what I'm looking forward to what's coming out this year the thing that I'm most looking forward to

Speaker 53215.52s - 3220.46s

in the short term is Paper Mario yeah that comes out this month

Speaker 43220.46s - 3222.36s

and I love Thousand Year Door

Speaker 23222.36s - 3224.72s

I remember a thousand year door was a game

Speaker 53224.72s - 3261.64s

I was playing when I first moved to North Carolina for my first game dev job for Robitak Invasion PRODUCT, which I mentioned earlier in this episode. Sorry, I just saw something in the chat there. So I'm really excited about that because I thought Thousand Year Door PRODUCT was fantastic. Yeah.And I've always really liked the Paper Mario PRODUCT games. So that's cool. Yeah. I'm excited about that. But other than that, I don't know. I don't know what else is coming out this year at all.Yeah. It's like, I'm flipping through a list right now.

Speaker 23263.88s - 3266.1s

And it just like,

Speaker 43267.74s - 3268.08s

oh, Star Wars WORK_OF_ART outlaws, there you go.

Speaker 23268.72s - 3268.86s

Oh, there you go.

Speaker 43270.56s - 3271.76s

That's one I'm definitely looking forward to.

Speaker 23272.16s - 3273.4s

Yeah. We're talking with that a couple weeks ago.

Speaker 43273.6s - 3277.44s

Yeah. Boy.

Speaker 23281.44s - 3282.86s

Yes, Star Wars WORK_OF_ART outlaws.

Speaker 43285.26s - 3287.14s

Your de facto game of the year?

Speaker 23288.64s - 3290.08s

I don't know.

Speaker 43291.14s - 3291.46s

Maybe.

Speaker 23292.84s - 3293.76s

Yeah, Paper Mario PRODUCT.

Speaker 43294.1s - 3294.4s

Sure.

Speaker 23297.6s - 3304.44s

Uh, is Star Wars WORK_OF_ART outlaws? Uh. Uh. Uh. Uh.

Speaker 53304.44s - 3312.02s

Uh. Exactly. Okay. So there we go. Star Wars WORK_OF_ART Outlaws

Speaker 23312.02s - 3315s

Yeah. Is the one for Phil PERSON.

Speaker 53315.8s - 3317.2s

When's Plucky Squire

Speaker 43317.2s - 3318.62s

scheduled to come out?

Speaker 53319.18s - 3319.98s

I have no idea.

Speaker 43321.32s - 3329.12s

Plan to release in 2024, it says. So you know what? Plucky Squire. I'm you know what plucky squire I'm looking forward to plucky squire as well

Speaker 53329.12s - 3347.38s

okay so that's three games now yes let's move on here from a hacker alias captain Logan uh huhSony ORG is losing good faith with the PC community over the requirements for helldivers too should they backtrack this commitment to save sales.

Speaker 23348.1s - 3349.68s

Oh, yeah. This.

Speaker 53350.82s - 3360.86s

Okay, so apparently Hell Divers 2, a game that I don't play, is CJ PERSON would care about this.

Speaker 43361.36s - 3379.26s

Yeah. But I guess what is, is that game like funded or partially funded by Sony ORG? Is that the case? I don't know. Okay. And now they're saying that you have to have a PSN ORG account to play it.

Speaker 53379.26s - 3381.16s

It's published by Sony Interactive Entertainment ORG.

Speaker 43381.48s - 3403.24s

So, okay, so Sony ORG does. Yeah. Have something to do with it. Yeah. Being the publisher,but they're making people have a PSN ORG account, even if you're not playing it on a PlayStation PRODUCT system, i.e.Steam ORG. And people are...

Speaker 23403.24s - 3404s

I think it's interesting.

Speaker 53404.4s - 3404.56s

Sorry.

Speaker 43404.64s - 3405.48s

People are upset. So it's interesting. People are upset.

Speaker 53407.44s - 3412.72s

So it's had an actual major impact on their review score on Steam ORG.

Speaker 43412.96s - 3413.3s

Right.

Speaker 23413.6s - 3414.54s

I'm just looking at a rock,

Speaker 53414.54s - 3416.66s

rock paper shotgun article here.

Speaker 43416.8s - 3420.78s

It says that they've received something like 100,000 negative reviews.

Speaker 53420.9s - 3439.24s

Oh, my goodness. Now. And actually, the Arrowhead PRODUCT, uh, Arrowhead game studio's CEO. Uh-huh. Actually came out against the idea of connecting the game to, which is

Speaker 33439.24s - 3447.12s

interesting, but I guess the game's so popular probably has the freedom to do that.

Speaker 53448.56s - 3463.22s

But yeah. So, interesting. I don't know. I don't know if they'll pull. I don't think I don't know if they'll have to pull back.I mean, 100,000 negative reviews is a lot, obviously. Also,

Speaker 43463.22s - 3467.16s

I'm seeing that apparently it's been delisted on Steam

Speaker 53467.16s - 3470.82s

in countries where PSN ORG is not available.

Speaker 43472.04s - 3475.84s

Oh, that's bad. This is, I'm looking at it, this is a resetter a thread.

Speaker 23477.18s - 3479.72s

And there's a, so might be true. And they have a whole,

Speaker 43482.02s - 3495.5s

a big list, big list of countries here. You know, Afghanistan GPE, I'm not reading these all, but just like Afghanistan, American, Samoa, Aruba, Barbados, Jamaica, Bermuda GPE.

Speaker 53496.5s - 3498.06s

Bermuda, Bahama GPE.

Speaker 43498.06s - 3498.12s

Bahama GPE.

Speaker 53498.12s - 3501.18s

Baham GPE, I'm pretty mama.

Speaker 43501.44s - 3501.68s

Yep.

Speaker 53502.46s - 3503s

Hilargo GPE.

Speaker 43503.7s - 3504.76s

Antig is that on the list?

Speaker 53505.6s - 3507.28s

Baby, why don't we go?

Speaker 43507.96s - 3526.36s

Greenland GPE. Fiji GPE. Egypt GPE. Off the Florida Keys LOC. There's a whole lot of places here where this game is being the Philippines GPE, Puerto Rico, Antarctica LOC.

Speaker 53526.56s - 3531.22s

Yes, and isn't in Puerto Rico GPE? What's that? PSN is not in Puerto Rico GPE.

Speaker 23531.22s - 3534.78s

I guess. I don't know. Weird.

Speaker 43534.94s - 3539.32s

Antarctica LOC. If you're, sorry.

Speaker 23539.72s - 3544.64s

If you're on a scientific expedition and you're living at some sort of

Speaker 43544.64s - 3549.76s

Antarctic LOC. And if helldivers is what was keeping you saying. I have bad news, friends.

Speaker 53553s - 3557.84s

But, uh, yeah, I guess maybe they should walk it back.

Speaker 23557.94s - 3558.9s

It seems like a bad.

Speaker 53559.98s - 3562.38s

I guess I want to know, I want to know why.

Speaker 43562.5s - 3566.04s

I want to hear a good reason why they're doing it in the first place.

Speaker 53566.8s - 3636.3s

Because if it's just a matter of more data collection, yeah. No thanks. Yeah. You know. Right. There's a good reason, which I would struggle to even guess what a good reason would be.Yeah. I'm sure. Why not? Because I mean, what I was going to say is 100,000 negative reviews on Steam ORG is bad. Don't get me wrong. Right.But, I mean, there are a lot of games that are very successful on Steam ORG that have a lot of negative reviews, especially you read those reviews where it's like, I played this game for 300 hours and I hated it. It's like, well, you know, I don't really take your opinion. Right. Seriously.But, I mean, it is a legit concern. Yes. I wouldn't want to have to do that either, especially if I didn't have a PlayStation PRODUCT. True. So there you go.That's our answer to that. Hacker alias, Kevin Klein PERSON 77, uh, uh, asks in light of thelimited run games controversy What do you think is the future of video game presentation? So do you know what the controversy is on this? I'm assuming this is about the I link in our chat.

Speaker 43636.76s - 3642.84s

I'm assuming this about the 3DO game. Yeah. Yeah. D. It's the game D.

Speaker 53642.92s - 3652.82s

D. Yeah. Apparently the physical copies started going out. And I don't know if some or all of them, but I would imagine all of them.

Speaker 43652.82s - 3658.3s

I imagine all of them, but people are discovering that they're just CDRs.

Speaker 53658.52s - 3663.28s

Yes. The games are just on CDRs. They're not like pressed. Right.

Speaker 43663.28s - 3663.58s

CDs.

Speaker 53663.84s - 3665.08s

They're just like burns. Yeah. CDs. They're just like burns.

Speaker 43665.98s - 3666.18s

Yeah.

Speaker 53666.48s - 3681.66s

Yeah. Which I mean, uh, you pay a premium for limit and run stuff. Absolutely. And nowhere did they say that this was happening. No.Um, and not to mention that I mean, 3DOs can play CDRs, but not all of them.

Speaker 03681.9s - 3682.02s

Yeah.

Speaker 13682.12s - 3685.18s

They struggle because I think they're very finicky

Speaker 03685.18s - 3691.32s

about what CDRs they can actually read. Right. And some of these just aren't playable. Right.

Speaker 53691.7s - 3693.1s

On certain consoles.

Speaker 43693.42s - 3696.54s

There are different models of 3DO by different manufacturers.

Speaker 53697.18s - 3697.66s

Right.

Speaker 43697.9s - 3699.52s

And they are not all created equal.

Speaker 53700.24s - 3700.82s

And I mean, you know,

Speaker 43700.88s - 3703.14s

they were finicky to begin with.

Speaker 53703.14s - 3708.24s

And now, you know, those systems are 35 years old.

Speaker 43708.38s - 3708.82s

Right.

Speaker 53709.54s - 3730.9s

So, you know, they're not doing themselves any favors anyway. But yeah. So I saw this and just thought it was like, well, I mean, if I'd, if I'd purchased one of these and for as long as you wait for a game from limited run as well, I know, I'd be very, very upset about this. I don't sure what it has to do with game preservation, to be honest.

Speaker 43731.16s - 3740.94s

I mean, I guess technically this is game preservation. I mean, that's kind of one of limited runs perceived goals.

Speaker 23741.06s - 3748.34s

I'm sure at some point they probably sold themselves on the idea that we're doing all

Speaker 43748.34s - 3756.2s

this for game preservation. I don't know if that's as much their message these days. Right. As it used to be, it might be. I don't know.

Speaker 53757.76s - 3761.48s

It's interesting, though, because they're an Embracer Group ORG company now, right?

Speaker 43761.92s - 3766.6s

Yes. So, hmm. I've been for a while.

Speaker 13767.22s - 3768.18s

I wonder if

Speaker 53768.18s - 3770.8s

this is something that was done

Speaker 13770.8s - 3772.76s

without Embracer ORG knowing or

Speaker 53772.76s - 3805.28s

if this will lead to more oversight by Embracer ORG, who knows? Yeah, who know. Maybe they don't care. I don't know. I don't have a very high opinion of Embracer ORG either.So, but anyway, yeah, I mean, that was the controversy. I don't know what it means for the future of game preservation mean, that was the, that was the controversy. I don't know what it means for the future of game preservation. I think probably the bigger impact on the future of game preservation was, I think there were hearings again this past week or two about digital libraries.Yes. Of games that I think were, I don't think it went anywhere. No. So that's, that's a bigger issue. Yeah, I think that's a bigger issue. Yeah,

Speaker 43805.28s - 3806.12s

I think that's,

Speaker 23806.22s - 3806.52s

I mean,

Speaker 53808.78s - 3809.54s

limited run.

Speaker 43810.94s - 3812.18s

And I've certainly had,

Speaker 23812.18s - 3814.82s

drop in the ocean. I've certainly had issues with them.

Speaker 43816.94s - 3831.18s

And, you know, a lot of non-issues with them as well. Yeah. I've certainlyhave purchased a lot of games from them with nary a problem. And I've had a few problems with them as well. Yeah. I've certainly have purchased a lot of games from them with nary a problem. And I've had a few problems with them. So, uh, and I mean,

Speaker 53831.28s - 3857.08s

I will call out too. Just because I've, I've purchased many games from them because I don't really buy physical anymore anyway. Right. But the one or two times I had a problem with something,I got very satisfactory customer service. Yeah. I don't think, I think, Phil PERSON, you might have a bit of one,at least one nightmare story, but, um, general. Yeah. I've always found them easy to deal with.Yeah. So,

Speaker 43857.7s - 3858.46s

but you know what?

Speaker 53859s - 3859.5s

I mean,

Speaker 43859.5s - 3860.08s

like you said,

Speaker 53860.16s - 3861.38s

they already drop in the bucket.

Speaker 43862.08s - 3877.48s

Yeah. This kind of thing. You know, yeah. One admittedly crappy release from themI don't think is going to be the make or break situation for game preservation. Right. You know.

Speaker 53879.4s - 3903.14s

Now that I think the real concern here is, well, obviously lying by omission. Yeah. You know, they didn't warn anyone this is what was about to happen. You don't, you make the assumption if you're buying a full physical copy of somethingthat it's going to be a pressed disc. And they have had issues like this before as well.

Speaker 43903.14s - 3905.46s

You mentioned some of a Game Boy PRODUCT cartridge or something like that

Speaker 53905.46s - 3906.52s

I don't know

Speaker 43906.52s - 3906.82s

about

Speaker 53906.82s - 3909.06s

Game Boy

Speaker 43909.06s - 3929.18s

well you know what I I do know one of their 3DS releases mm-hmmoh you know what it was it was the a towee is that the company the Mighty Muds people I believe so yeah Oh, you know what it was? It was the, um, a toi. Is that the company? The, the, uh, Mighty Muds PRODUCT people.

Speaker 53929.76s - 3929.84s

I believe so.

Speaker 43930.06s - 3948.14s

Yeah. Yeah. They put, they released a collection of their 3DS games through limited run. Mm-hmm. And one of the games, I think it's like one of their little puzzle games, I think has a like game breaking bug in it.Ooh. And, you know,

Speaker 23948.22s - 3950.46s

that's what's on the cartridge now and you can't.

Speaker 13951.36s - 3951.74s

Yeah.

Speaker 23951.98s - 3959.06s

They can't release because the 3DS e-shops closed down so they're not going to be,

Speaker 43959.14s - 4016.44s

you know, you can't get a, get a patch on that. Right. So that's just kind of borked forever. That's why emulation is the answer.And what was it? There was some, I forget the game. I've just heard people complain about this online, but there was some game that was supposed to, it was like a PC game they were re-releasing, I think.And it was supposed to come on like a CD or something and the package just ended up containing a steam code okay and I don't yeah I don't know if you know if you were supposed to be getting it on a CD or like on a little flash drive or somethingbut yeah you they you know people open the box and there was just a steam code. And it's like, well, what, what are we, what are we doing here? Go on Steam ORG, obviously. Yeah. So people were.

Speaker 54016.44s - 4017.88s

Make sure you're ready with your PSN ORG account.

Speaker 24018.04s - 4018.2s

Yeah.

Speaker 54019.24s - 4028.96s

And that was then, you know, and then, you know, and, you know, certainly when they sold it, it was, it was sold under the, you know, where you are going to be getting a physical copy of this game.

Speaker 24029.64s - 4030.12s

Right.

Speaker 54030.22s - 4042.94s

And then at some point they apparently, you know, I'm assuming realized that they couldn't for some reason or another and then just gave the Steam ORG code and didn't bother telling anyone.

Speaker 24043.34s - 4043.74s

Yeah.

Speaker 54043.8s - 4047.1s

And that's the part that bothers me more than anything is like, if that's going to

Speaker 44047.1s - 4050.66s

be the case, then you reach out to the people who have already, because you pay for everything

Speaker 54050.66s - 4054.38s

up front with them, you reach out to the people who have already paid and who are waiting

Speaker 44054.38s - 4059.06s

and let them know what's happening and give them the option to cancel their orders.

Speaker 54059.44s - 4059.78s

You get a refund.

Speaker 44059.78s - 4060.98s

Then you have to give the money back.

Speaker 54061.58s - 4062.06s

Yeah, I know.

Speaker 44062.06s - 4062.88s

Who wants to do that?

Speaker 54063.88s - 4064.14s

Yeah.

Speaker 44064.62s - 4066.18s

But yeah, I mean, as far as

Speaker 54066.18s - 4077.62s

the greater question of game preservation, it's limited run is not the end all be all. No,

Speaker 44077.88s - 4083.5s

preservation. No, like I said, they're a very tiny percentage. Right. And that's not to discount

Speaker 54083.5s - 4095.84s

what they're doing. It's just that, I mean, it's just simple numbers. Right. Right. Um that's not to discount what they're doing. It's just that I mean, it's just simple numbers. Right. Right. So, yeah, I mean, the video game history foundation is, is more where video game preservation is happening. Yeah.

Speaker 44096.38s - 4099.52s

Like the, you know, the strong museum and stuff like that. And yeah.

Speaker 54100.12s - 4107.14s

Well, like you were saying, the discussions they've been having about trying to get like a library database of that kind of thing.

Speaker 44107.74s - 4108.2s

Yeah.

Speaker 24108.38s - 4120.38s

That's more important to game preservation as a whole than a messed up release of a single game.

Speaker 44121.06s - 4123.28s

A CDR version of D on 3D.

Speaker 24124.6s - 4128.04s

Did you see they did a video last year and I don't know that you would have paid

Speaker 44128.04s - 4128.66s

attention to this.

Speaker 24128.84s - 4132.26s

But so the video game history foundation has a,

Speaker 44132.26s - 4134.84s

a large collection of magazines.

Speaker 54135.24s - 4135.58s

Yes.

Speaker 24136.38s - 4139.2s

Did you see what they're doing as far as making those digitally available?

Speaker 54139.46s - 4142.08s

I did not. It's pretty neat.

Speaker 34142.08s - 4167.52s

I should send the link and maybe get CJ PERSON to put the link. They did a YouTube video. Now, it's not public yet, but what they're building is basically a database, a searchable database with basically all this information in all these magazines that they've got. Now, I doubt when they finally do launch that it'll have everything from every periodical they have. But what they did show in the demo video they released was pretty impressive.

Speaker 54167.52s - 4176.42s

Speaking as someone who, of course, produces videos where I spend a lot of time trolling through game magazines and stuff like that, you know,

Speaker 04176.5s - 4189.24s

and having to find scans. And there are some places there are a lot of good people doing a lot of good work when it comes to that stuff, but having these searchable as opposed to, you know, just sort of right now,

Speaker 54189.56s - 4198.42s

if I don't find a reference to something to a particular review or article or interview, I'm kind of just sifting through magazines based on timeframes,

Speaker 24198.78s - 4199.4s

you know,

Speaker 54199.5s - 4243.58s

and as a magazine. So anyway, the stuff that they're doing, it's looking really cool. And I love that they're actually going to be making it available online as opposed to just being a library that you can visit if you happen to live in that area or if you can get to that area. Right. I mean, there's a lot to be said for that as well, obviously, but making it available to the people who aren't in proximity or don't have the, who aren't in proximity or don't have the means to be in proximity is huge. Yeah.So yeah, that's way more important than a CDR version of D. But I do get the concern. Oh, yeah, absolutely. How long we've been going here? Let's do a couple more of these. Do it.Well, let's do one more.

Speaker 34244.68s - 4252.96s

And we've probably already talked about this, but I don't remember because I tune out sometimes when you and CJ PERSON talk. This is from hacker alias, Venomatic PRODUCT. Rude. First of all.

Speaker 24253.88s - 4256s

Since you all seem to like Percross PRODUCT.

Speaker 54256.22s - 4274.12s

That is true. We do. Has any of you tried Stitch PRODUCT? The Apple Arcade exclusive that came to switch a couple of weeks ago. It's got a similar kind of gameplay loop, and I've been finding it very satisfying and easy to slip into. Have you played this?I have not.

Speaker 44274.68s - 4293.6s

Well, I've got some good news. Neither of you. No, I actually have. Okay. Thank you very much. I played it on Apple Arcade PRODUCT. Okay. Thank you very much. I played it on Apple Arcade.Okay. Because it's Apple Arcade PRODUCT. You get to download these games for free.

Speaker 24294.08s - 4304.76s

And they're all, you know, ad free and, you know, all that micro-transaction free.

Speaker 44304.76s - 4305.5s

All that stuff that. Micro transaction free.

Speaker 24310.56s - 4312.16s

All that stuff that Ethan PERSON was so keen to promote.

Speaker 44315.4s - 4369.52s

And, yeah, it's a cute little game. It does not, itch the, or it does not scratch the same itch for me that Picross PRODUCT does. But it is a cute enough little game. I did not, when I saw they were bringing it to Switch PRODUCT, I was a little tempted to get it. But I forget how much they were charging for it.It was too much for me to go like, oh, I'll pick this up. You know, so I can play it on my Switch instead of an iPad PRODUCT. But when it goes on sale for Switch PRODUCT, I might pick it up just to have it there.But yeah, it's a cute little, again, kind of a chill, relaxing little puzzle game where you just, you know, the premise is you're looking at like a cross-stitch. And you have there, there's like a cross stitch and you have there, there's like a grid with little numbers in there.

Speaker 14370.32s - 4372.86s

And the numbers represent how many

Speaker 44372.86s - 4439.94s

colored squares you're supposed to fill in. So if you see like a number three, there's like, okay, there's the three go this way, do they go this way? Or, you know, the three go this way, do they go this way? Or, you know, they start a little higher and stuff like that. So you, and then you have to fill it in to make all the numbers,the squares fit within that grid. I'm doing a terrible job describing the gameplay mechanic. But I assure you, you look at it and go okay I understand how this works but yes it's it's a you know relatively simple premiseat least you know I've played through you know maybe a dozen or so puzzles in it so I haven't gotten into anything that would have been super challenging you know, maybe a dozen or so puzzles in it. So I haven't gotten into anything that would have been super challenging.But, but yeah, it's a cute, cute little relaxing game with a very charming aesthetic. You know, with the cross-kind of like Percross PRODUCT.

Speaker 24440.62s - 4440.84s

Hmm?

Speaker 44441.74s - 4449.38s

Kind of like Percross PRODUCT. It's kind of like Percross PRODUCT. Although, you know, Pacross PRODUCT, you know, it's more just kind of like, oh, you's kind of like cross although you know Percross PRODUCT you know it's more just kind of like oh you're lookingin a flat grid

Speaker 54449.38s - 4458.7s

just for numbers where where this has that kind of charming homie aesthetic of cross stitching and stuff like thatso it's a very cute looking game

Speaker 44458.7s - 4482.04s

but yeah like I said not you know not quite as as grabbing onto my psyche that Percross has low these many years. But it is definitely a cute enough game.Certainly, if you have Apple Arcade PRODUCT, it's worth checking out because, hey, it's free. That's the best kind.

Speaker 24482.34s - 4485.04s

Yeah. But yeah, if it goes on sale for

Speaker 44485.04s - 4500.92s

relatively cheap I might I might get it on switch as well but yeah it's a cute game so that is our show for this week

Speaker 54500.92s - 4509.96s

thank you so much for listening if you uh liked what you heard. No, CJ, Phil PERSON says that part. Yeah. I don't know what it says here.

Speaker 04510.02s - 4514.16s

I'm never listening at this point. Please consider going to our website,

Speaker 54514.36s - 4528.66s

Player One Podcast.com PRODUCT, or heading over to our Discord, where you can find and discuss this episode with us and our other listeners, along with other things. We got lots of different channels on our Discord PRODUCT.It's kind of fun.

Speaker 34528.96s - 4538.92s

We do. We want to talk about Lego ORG or racing or retro games or multiplayer games or sports, stocks.

Speaker 54539.76s - 4540.82s

We get everything.

Speaker 34541.42s - 4542.54s

Our Discord PRODUCT's pretty awesome.

Speaker 54542.94s - 4543.62s

That's great.

Speaker 44545.08s - 4557.3s

That's it. That's it. It's all I got. People were giving me a joystick purchasing advice on our Discord this past week.

Speaker 54557.3s - 4558.82s

I need a new joystick for mine 64.

Speaker 44559.34s - 4561.2s

A new controller.

Speaker 54561.52s - 4580.26s

Oh, really? Yeah, I bought like one of those retro. I think it's called Retro Fighter PRODUCT or I forget what it's called. Okay. But anyway, the up direction is not working on the analog stick.Oh. It's playing Harvest Moon 64 this week and couldn't go up. Wow. It was fun. Sorry to hear that.

Speaker 44580.9s - 4589.78s

Mm-hmm. Hey, real quick. Lost those dead crops. Because I know we're ending the show. You were playing some Mega Man Legends PRODUCT. I was.

Speaker 54589.86s - 4603.08s

I forgot to mention that. Yeah. Yeah. Was this a request or something? It was a request. Yeah.Okay. Man, that game looks really nice. Like it held, visually it holds up really well.

Speaker 44603.08s - 4612.2s

You know what? The two Mega Man Legends games and misadventures of Tron bond Capcom ORG really I mean those are kind of pretty

Speaker 04612.2s - 4619.66s

low poly games they're never where you kind of blocky looking but uh capcom's artists

Speaker 44619.66s - 4627.34s

working with with textures on that game. Those are still good looking games.

Speaker 04628.3s - 4629.94s

And you know, the game itself,

Speaker 34630.32s - 4630.52s

I mean,

Speaker 44630.56s - 4632.92s

I'm not going to get too much into it because we're ending the show here.

Speaker 54633s - 4634.96s

The game itself is good.

Speaker 44635.38s - 4635.54s

Yeah.

Speaker 54637.54s - 4647.3s

Boy, if it had a patch. Yeah. That would let you use an analog controller to move Mega Man PRODUCT around. Yep. It's all it needs.

Speaker 44647.54s - 4660.46s

Yep. You definitely have to, I'll be generous and say get used to the controls. Yeah. But if you can get past that, it's a really good game.

Speaker 54660.96s - 4663.88s

It's got that, I will say, like, the way I was describing it,

Speaker 44663.88s - 4670.74s

and I've got my controller right here. See, we're getting into this now. I know. But it's got that I will say like I would the way I was describing and I've got my controller right here. See we're getting into this now. I know. But it's got that it's the

Speaker 54670.74s - 4676.8s

bonus show that a lot of early yeah this is your this is part of the bonus a lot of early 3D

Speaker 44676.8s - 4683.82s

games had yeah um where of course you know pay no attention to these analog sticks because they

Speaker 54683.82s - 4685.62s

weren't on the controller or you weren't using it anyway.

Speaker 44686.22s - 4693.22s

I think if I remember correctly, legends may have predated the analog controller.

Speaker 54693.22s - 4697.56s

I hope it did, because if it didn't, then Capcom ORG done messed up.

Speaker 44697.94s - 4702.42s

But anyway, the thing I'm saying is every button on this thing is used.

Speaker 54702.94s - 4703.16s

Yeah.

Speaker 44703.4s - 4709.76s

Including all four shoulder buttons and not in ways that a gamer in 2024 would find natural.

Speaker 54710.18s - 4710.38s

Yeah.

Speaker 04710.98s - 4711.6s

You know what I mean?

Speaker 54711.66s - 4731.96s

Like you're just, you're constantly pressing button combos to make things happen. Oh yeah. And I just, I was getting better at. I played it for about 90 minutes and I was getting better at it by the end.But all I could really think was, man, if I could just, you know, wiggle this left analog stick. Yeah. And Mega Man PRODUCT will go where I wanted them to. The game would be so much more playable.

Speaker 44733.52s - 4737.26s

If, if, uh, if Wikipedia ORG is correct.

Speaker 54737.88s - 4738.96s

And when isn't it?

Speaker 44739.2s - 4758.2s

I mean, you're right. The first dual shock was released in Japan on November 20th, 1997 DATE. Yeah. Almost to the day a month before legends came out in Japan GPE. Okay.

Speaker 54758.4s - 4762.66s

So it was close enough to the release that it's not weird that they didn't have it.

Speaker 44762.78s - 4764.34s

Right. Yeah.

Speaker 54765.34s - 4767.62s

But, but yeah.

Speaker 44768.46s - 4779.9s

If you can, if you can deal with the, the controls on it, it's a fun game. And Legends 2 PRODUCT is a fair bit better. Lots of Canadian NORP voice actors as well.

Speaker 54780.24s - 4788.66s

Oh, is that right? It really sounds like it. I mean, there's a, I don't know, like old anime always makes it sounds like this to me too.

Speaker 44788.86s - 4792.52s

I think they just use a lot of Canadian NORP voice acting studios. Yeah.

Speaker 54794.92s - 4799.42s

And it's just like to me, the one is always that I remember when I was a kid is watching Astro Boy PRODUCT.

Speaker 34799.98s - 4803.18s

So I'm pretty sure it was a Canadian studio that dubbed Astro Boy PRODUCT.

Speaker 54804.02s - 4816.92s

And Mega Man Legends has that same sound to it. The actors just, they sound Canadian NORP. Yeah. It's the only way I can describe it. Anyway, let's continue our outro.

Speaker 44816.92s - 4821.08s

Okay. Are you done with your bit? Yeah, I think so.

Speaker 24955.3s - 4955.44s

Mm-hmm.

Speaker 44957.44s - 4960.26s

We don't have a game this week. I know that for a fact. We don't.

Speaker 54960.74s - 4963.32s

CJ PERSON warned us about that. We have no game.

Speaker 24964.72s - 4965.82s

Greg PERSON has me. Before we started this, we started. Don't. CJ warned us about that. We have no game. Greg got some plans.

Speaker 44966.12s - 4967.1s

Greg PERSON tells me,

Speaker 54969.16s - 4972.02s

before we started the show, Greg PERSON told me he had plans.

Speaker 44972.76s - 5000.22s

And he will not reveal to me. So I don't know what is in store. And you don't either. But there's only one way to find out. And that's to give us five bucks. Or I guess you can wait like two years,and CJ PERSON will put that episode up on our... Also true. Retro, after show, stream that he puts up or whatever. I don't know.

Speaker 05001.04s - 5003.28s

Anyway, tune in for that, folks.

Speaker 45004.48s - 5024.9s

And I'll tell you what, if you have a couple extra bucks left over. Why don't you go to patreon.com slash Greg Seward and help support Greg PERSON's outstanding. And it is outstanding. And endorsed by Sega ORG itself. Right?Web series. I'm not making that up. I actually endorsed by Sega ORG itself.

Speaker 55025.94s - 5026.44s

They retweeted it. they retweeted it they reach

Speaker 45026.44s - 5026.92s

Speaker 45030.62s - 5041.74s

Sega official Twitter account retweeted your your latest episode yep

Speaker 35041.74s - 5043.5s

Speaker 45043.5s - 5050.74s

as well it should be. Go watch Generation 16 is what I'm talking about. Go support it.

Speaker 55050.74s - 5070.3s

Sega ORG does. Seriously. Yeah, and thank you, Phil PERSON. And if you are a Patreon supporter of the $5 variety,that is also cheap. Good evening, Satan PERSON. Good evening to you.

Speaker 05070.4s - 5071.26s

How are you today?

Speaker 55071.78s - 5072.62s

You know what?

Speaker 05072.68s - 5073.38s

I'm pretty good,

Speaker 55073.48s - 5074.32s

but I really wish C.J.

Speaker 05074.4s - 5075.7s

had warned us that he wasn't going to be here.

Speaker 55075.88s - 5076.68s

Well, you know,

Speaker 05076.78s - 5080.78s

he likes playing devilish tricks as well.

Speaker 55084.42s - 5085.54s

And you know what, we're lying.

Speaker 05085.64s - 5086.94s

CJ PERSON did warn us he wasn't going to be.

Speaker 55086.94s - 5104.92s

He did. Yeah. Yeah. We just like making fun of him when he's not here. And when he is here, actually. So anyway, you get access to you, yeah.Okay. I don't know. I didn't see you on the $5 tier when I checked it today, though. But it could be one of your mini aliases.

Speaker 05105.52s - 5122.76s

Well, you know what it is. I, I, I, I, I, I, I, know, I didn't see you on the $5 tier when I checked it today, though. Well, I... But it could be one of your many aliases. Well, you know what it is. I... I... I... I... I...I... ...steal links from nefarious sites to get in and watch your videos without paying. Okay. Because I'm the devil. Yeah, I know.

Speaker 55122.92s - 5131.52s

I would expect nothing less. And that's a dishonest thing to do. Right. Why would I expect you to change your ways? I'm the prince of lies.

Speaker 05134.02s - 5135.3s

Maybe you're lying right now.

Speaker 55135.3s - 5138s

Which of course means that I do give you $5 every month.

Speaker 05139.22s - 5141.9s

Because I support independent creators.

Speaker 55142.56s - 5142.94s

Right.

Speaker 15143.08s - 5145s

I'm the devil, not an asshole.

Speaker 05147.44s - 5154.62s

You get access to the weekly commute, which is a vlog series that I post mostly every week.

Speaker 55155.02s - 5155.52s

Not always.

Speaker 05156.66s - 5157.8s

Sometimes it's a little late.

Speaker 55157.9s - 5158.86s

Sometimes it's twice a week.

Speaker 05158.86s - 5161.06s

We talk about what I've been working on mainly.

Speaker 55161.62s - 5196.24s

Also, just really anything that crosses my, uh, my, my, my, my, my, my, my adled mind in that moment. Um, but also, you know, if you were a, a, uh, supporter of the five or even three dollar variety. Well, that's even cheaper. Even cheaper. You would already have access to my latest video, which is all about the Super Nintendo PRODUCT. When did that go up? Saturday, this past Saturday. Yesterday.Did I get an email about that? You should have, because I know you are an early access. I absolutely am.

Speaker 45196.24s - 5197.24s

Yeah.

Speaker 55197.24s - 5198.68s

Well, I'll have to go back.

Speaker 45198.68s - 5199.76s

Why your name's in the credits.

Speaker 55199.76s - 5203.24s
