[00:14:23] - [Speaker 0]
I miss judge shows. I miss, like, stupid judge shows.

[00:14:27] - [Speaker 2]
Oh, judge shows are my shit. Judge Joe Brown was, like, my fucking favorite.

[00:14:31] - [Speaker 3]
Dude, he did the yeah. Brown and, like, divorced court.

[00:14:35] - [Speaker 0]
Dude, so good. Judge Joe

[00:14:36] - [Speaker 2]
Brown was always, even when I was a kid, there was, like, people's court. There was, like, judge shows have been around for a hot minute, but, like and they were like, back then, they were, like, super fake. You think they're fake now? They're they were, like, scripted show. They were practically law and order back then.

[00:14:51] - [Speaker 3]
That's the golden age. Yeah. Here's the thing. If you like those judge shows, you're gonna love our program today, folks, because we're gonna do judge Jerry.

[00:15:13] - [Speaker 2]
Yeah. Finally.

[00:15:16] - [Speaker 3]
I'm gonna judge the fuck out of these games that these these friendos have have bought themselves and each other. I don't know what you guys did. I don't know why you did what you did, but you did it.

[00:15:31] - [Speaker 2]
I just woke up one day at, like, noon 12:30, and I, all of a sudden I was in a group chat about gifting Steam games. I was like, okay, I got we're doing it. Sure. Yeah. I'll do that.

[00:15:43] - [Speaker 0]
Yeah. It was like a big old impromptu thing. Like, Jerry was on vacation. And I was like, oh, my god. I got something in the bag.

[00:15:51] - [Speaker 0]
And then

[00:15:51] - [Speaker 3]
This only hap this only just happened, like, last week. It was pretty close to happen last only on vacation for, like, five days.

[00:16:00] - [Speaker 0]
Yeah. It was supposed to happen. People things.

[00:16:02] - [Speaker 3]
Yeah. We only have

[00:16:03] - [Speaker 5]
so much in the budget, Aaron.

[00:16:05] - [Speaker 0]
Listen. They were

[00:16:06] - [Speaker 2]
under a dollar. Okay?

[00:16:08] - [Speaker 0]
That's right. Yeah. The the stipulation. Dude, Cheryl in accounting is gonna be so pissed. Cheryl can bite my ass.

[00:16:15] - [Speaker 0]
Gave her an update for her whole bonus or her whole whopping, like, $5. Or half a day off,

[00:16:21] - [Speaker 2]
like, last

[00:16:21] - [Speaker 0]
two. Like, a $10, like, margarita Applebee's gift card or something. Do you

[00:16:30] - [Speaker 2]
have any news?

[00:16:31] - [Speaker 3]
Did Britney Spears do anything crazy, Eddie, like, since the last time I was on? Because that was the last bit of news.

[00:16:35] - [Speaker 0]
So Did she smoke any more cigarettes on planes? Why

[00:16:40] - [Speaker 5]
do you mean I can't smoke on a plane? I'm Britney Spears.

[00:16:44] - [Speaker 2]
I I'm old, and you haven't been able to do that since I was a kid. So, like, how how far does that go

[00:16:49] - [Speaker 0]
back? Jesus. Dre, you

[00:16:50] - [Speaker 2]
know what?

[00:16:51] - [Speaker 3]
You know what they say? It's Britney, bitch.

[00:16:53] - [Speaker 2]
That's the that's the best line she ever spit, if you ask

[00:16:56] - [Speaker 0]
me. Yeah. I mean, like

[00:16:58] - [Speaker 3]
That's like, I I I was

[00:17:00] - [Speaker 0]
saying on the last episode, I truly hope that if they

[00:17:02] - [Speaker 3]
were like, miss Spears, you can't smoke the hair, she'd be like,

[00:17:07] - [Speaker 0]
it's Britney, bitch. The judge is like, oh, man. It is Britney, bitch. Bam.

[00:17:13] - [Speaker 3]
I would like to I would

[00:17:13] - [Speaker 2]
like for her to do it on the exhale, like, a long drag. It's Britney, bitch. You know? Like, really, it's a smoke that's coming out. Yeah.

[00:17:23] - [Speaker 0]
Oh, man. She's dangling a knife. A knife falls out of dancing

[00:17:27] - [Speaker 3]
a little bit in her seat, they're like, it's it's fine. It's just I was thinking of it

[00:17:31] - [Speaker 2]
as, like, a Swiss army knife, not like a real knife. Just like a, you know

[00:17:34] - [Speaker 0]
It is a real knife.

[00:17:36] - [Speaker 3]
Uh-huh. Yeah. She had

[00:17:37] - [Speaker 0]
True. That

[00:17:39] - [Speaker 3]
you would absolutely get kicked off a plane if you were like, it's cool. It's just

[00:17:42] - [Speaker 0]
a Swiss Swiss army knife.

[00:17:44] - [Speaker 2]
Yeah. That's all.

[00:17:46] - [Speaker 3]
Air marshal would have you tack Lin thrown out the emergency so fast.

[00:17:50] - [Speaker 2]
Literally throw Britney Spears out the window. Yeah.

[00:17:54] - [Speaker 0]
Oh, man. I've I've got one good piece of news. People are freaking out today. Mhmm. Nintendo updated Mario Kart world.

[00:18:01] - [Speaker 0]
Oh, Lord. Yeah. Took out the intermission or no. They changed it so, like, in between versus races when you're playing online, you had the option to choose, like, a random track or, like, an intermission race or whatever. Then if you chose random, it would just go to, a random three lap race or so do you know about this, Dre?

[00:18:20] - [Speaker 3]
Am I getting it right?

[00:18:21] - [Speaker 2]
Yeah. Yeah. So, like, that was the thing about online play in in in you would you know, you pick it just like Mario Kart eight Deluxe or whatever. You'd pick the course, but now you could only pick a course that connects to the last one that you played. So you have to pick one where you drive to the next one.

[00:18:38] - [Speaker 2]
You can't pick a course where you just go to that course and just do the lap.

[00:18:42] - [Speaker 1]
That sucks.

[00:18:43] - [Speaker 3]
I also have a job, and I didn't I didn't see this today.

[00:18:47] - [Speaker 0]
Versus race, though. And that fucking sucks because shit.

[00:18:50] - [Speaker 2]
It's Because I like the variety. I like yeah. I like one of the great things about Mario Kart world is that you can have it all the ways. You can just play the courses. You can drive from place to place, or you can go full rally race like Knockout Tour.

[00:19:03] - [Speaker 2]
Right? You have, like, you have, like, the spectrum of it. Now you don't have that anymore. Now the only way to do that is to literally just go to time trial and play the course or just go do your own versus offline and, like or with friends or something and maybe just, like, pick it that way. It's so weird that they don't want you to do that.

[00:19:20] - [Speaker 3]
So here's the thing.

[00:19:21] - [Speaker 0]
Yeah.

[00:19:22] - [Speaker 3]
I I didn't get I wasn't around to be on that Mario Kart episode, but the one thing I would say that doesn't give it, like, a perfect score in my opinion, what the fuck did they do to Grand Prix?

[00:19:36] - [Speaker 2]
It's weird.

[00:19:37] - [Speaker 3]
That's not they need to fix that shit. Just give me the courses and let me do do the laps. Like, I don't because half the time you get to the course area and, like, you do a lap once you get there because you still they still have even though you're not doing the knockout tour thing, they still incorporate, like, a bunch of shit outside of the courses. Like, doing the Grand Prix has just been kinda like like, the the best thing about the game to me is the knockout tour and playing with friends online.

[00:20:08] - [Speaker 0]
Yeah.

[00:20:08] - [Speaker 3]
Those are the two things that are the selling points of the game.

[00:20:11] - [Speaker 2]
But they have these great courses that you can just do laps around. I have no idea why they won't just let you do that.

[00:20:17] - [Speaker 3]
I know. You know? It's really, really weird.

[00:20:19] - [Speaker 2]
Really weird. So, like, obviously, Grand Prix tries to mix the two. The course you start out on, you do the laps, but then from there, you go from here to there. Right? So they kinda try to mix the two, which I like.

[00:20:29] - [Speaker 2]
Don't get me wrong. That's fine. I feel like it's just a mode. Yeah. I feel like there needs to be an update where you can just do last two because both things are fun.

[00:20:39] - [Speaker 3]
Classic Grand Prix.

[00:20:40] - [Speaker 2]
Exactly. Don't Yeah. Things are really fun, and I just don't know why they won't let you do that. Yeah. I know.

[00:20:45] - [Speaker 2]
Yeah.

[00:20:45] - [Speaker 1]
That came out today. Like, that was an update that happened. Yeah. Interesting.

[00:20:50] - [Speaker 3]
Also said to this game that they're not gonna they already shut it down that they were like, no. We're not adding, like, a bunch of other Nintendo franchise characters to this one. They're like,

[00:21:00] - [Speaker 2]
that's what Mario Kart eight Good.

[00:21:02] - [Speaker 3]
They're they're like, Mario Kart eight was like the Smash Brothers of the Mario Kart games.

[00:21:06] - [Speaker 2]
Good.

[00:21:07] - [Speaker 3]
They were just like, let's just bring in everything. But this one, they're like, no. Like, we're we're good. Like, this is very contained within, like it's almost like, do you guys get the feeling that this game is almost, like, in the canon world more than it was before?

[00:21:23] - [Speaker 2]
Like Yeah.

[00:21:24] - [Speaker 3]
It's almost like Mario the Mario Kart games were just like, yeah. It's Mario and Mario Kart, but, like, they're removed. They're their own thing. Now it's like this almost feels like it's, like, within the canon world of Mario. Mhmm.

[00:21:36] - [Speaker 3]
And I feel like putting other random act like, if they put, like, fucking pit from Kid Icarus

[00:21:41] - [Speaker 0]
as a as a drooling. Shit. That's a that's a deep cut.

[00:21:45] - [Speaker 2]
That's that's why I did not like that shit. I I said on the episode, I did not like that about Mario Kart eight. I don't this is not Nintendo card. It's Mario Kart. I'm I am a purist that way.

[00:21:55] - [Speaker 2]
Give me the Mario. There is so much to do with Mario stuff, and it is so cool. The Mushroom Kingdom, there is a million things to do. That's why I don't like the Sonic stuff right now coming about. I know it has Minecraft.

[00:22:06] - [Speaker 2]
It has SpongeBob.

[00:22:07] - [Speaker 0]
Fuck off.

[00:22:07] - [Speaker 3]
Dude, it's Sonic. Like, you don't believe in your

[00:22:10] - [Speaker 2]
biggest IP in the world? Like, what are you guys doing? Like, you know? So I don't like that shit, typically.

[00:22:18] - [Speaker 3]
Yeah. But good game overall.

[00:22:21] - [Speaker 1]
Hell, yeah. Yeah. Classic.

[00:22:23] - [Speaker 3]
Just gotta talk some shit sometimes. You know what Yeah.

[00:22:25] - [Speaker 2]
Was just come on. But, yeah, I don't know why Nintendo's being so weird about this. Just let people pick random if they want, if they wanna do a three course lap. I the variety is fun. Just let people have the right.

[00:22:35] - [Speaker 0]
Maybe they'll change it. Maybe these people freaking out will actually change it. There's, like

[00:22:38] - [Speaker 1]
Maybe they're listening to us

[00:22:40] - [Speaker 2]
right now. So because I don't think that's a good change. It's one of the things I enjoyed about playing online, they took it away. Yep.

[00:22:46] - [Speaker 3]
I think that, you know, if you look at the support that they gave to Mario Kart eight, I think we're in it for the long haul with this game. Like, there's gonna be a lot of like, what this game is now, I feel like if you look back on it in a couple of years, you're gonna be like, man, it was so bare bones back then. But I I feel like they're just gonna keep on adding shit to this game. Because, like, people are like, Oh, the open world's so pointless. And I'm like, Well, I for one have a fantastic time driving around trying to do those C Switch puzzles.

[00:23:19] - [Speaker 3]
But at the same time, I feel like they have this amazing canvas now that they can just start to add things to. And like events, you know, like a fucking could you imagine if they have like raid style shit

[00:23:34] - [Speaker 0]
or like Jesus fucking kill

[00:23:36] - [Speaker 3]
on you. Race against like fucking mecca Bowser Everybody's getting

[00:23:40] - [Speaker 1]
That'd fun.

[00:23:41] - [Speaker 3]
I feel like they could just start adding a whole bunch of crazy shit to this now. Dude, like, the

[00:23:45] - [Speaker 0]
boss races from, like, Diddy Kong racing or something where you're racing

[00:23:48] - [Speaker 2]
against Kong? That's exactly what I was kinda thinking of. Yeah. We I drive against that asshole fucking pig. I don't think I ever beat that.

[00:23:55] - [Speaker 2]
It was so annoying.

[00:23:55] - [Speaker 3]
Dude, that guy gave up. It's so fucking hard. Yeah. Is it has no right to be as hard as like, it's, like, intended for, like, a younger audience, and that game is, like, like, cripplingly difficult

[00:24:08] - [Speaker 2]
to play. Tough.

[00:24:10] - [Speaker 0]
God forbid, you wanna unlock a drumstick or whatever. You have to beat every fucking race and get, like, a gold medal or some shit in every single Yeah.

[00:24:18] - [Speaker 3]
You gotta get gold. And, like, yeah, dude. Like, that last the last race that you have to race against that the big pig dude.

[00:24:27] - [Speaker 2]
Yeah. I don't think I I don't think I ever fucking did that.

[00:24:30] - [Speaker 0]
No cheat codes.

[00:24:31] - [Speaker 2]
I just gave. I was like, I'm gonna play something else.

[00:24:34] - [Speaker 3]
I love Diddy Kong racing, though.

[00:24:37] - [Speaker 0]
Got any more news, Jerry?

[00:24:39] - [Speaker 3]
No. I don't. I didn't have news to begin with.

[00:24:42] - [Speaker 2]
Okay. Well, yeah, that's I'm I'm trying to think if there's anything

[00:24:47] - [Speaker 3]
Oh, I mean, there was a Capcom thing

[00:24:51] - [Speaker 0]
Oh, They're adding underwater combat to Monster Hunter Wilds. We haven't seen underwater combat since fucking

[00:24:58] - [Speaker 2]
Since Wii?

[00:24:59] - [Speaker 0]
Monster Hunter. Yeah. Which one was on Wii? Wii. Yeah.

[00:25:02] - [Speaker 2]
Three. Try. Try. Yeah. Yeah.

[00:25:05] - [Speaker 2]
Yeah.

[00:25:05] - [Speaker 3]
Come on, Aaron, man. I'm not even a huge monster hunter guy, and I knew that shit.

[00:25:10] - [Speaker 0]
I there

[00:25:12] - [Speaker 2]
there was a Arc System Works showcase happening right now as we're recording this, and I am not watching because I am recording about shitty games on Steam. So maybe there's some news in there, but I don't know.

[00:25:24] - [Speaker 0]
Yeah. Maybe there will be. Just

[00:25:25] - [Speaker 3]
think It's about it. Not really Somebody really does this. Anyways, though.

[00:25:29] - [Speaker 0]
As soon as we're done with this, you can you can you'll have, like, a whole treasure trove of announcements to go through. You'll be right

[00:25:34] - [Speaker 1]
I know.

[00:25:34] - [Speaker 2]
I can't wait. I'm I'm not I don't I don't don't spoil for me. I'm I'm gonna look afterwards.

[00:25:38] - [Speaker 3]
Okay. Did you guys see that Resident Evil nine has both perspectives? It has first person and third person. It's weird.

[00:25:47] - [Speaker 0]
Feel like I learned that. After Nemesis.

[00:25:50] - [Speaker 3]
And That's weird.

[00:25:51] - [Speaker 0]
It

[00:25:51] - [Speaker 3]
has suggested what like, sections where it's like, we recommend you play this part in first person.

[00:25:58] - [Speaker 1]
Mhmm.

[00:25:59] - [Speaker 0]
Like

[00:25:59] - [Speaker 1]
Was that SGF news? Did that come out during SGF?

[00:26:02] - [Speaker 3]
It was, like, shortly after. Was, like, the the of, like, the following week or something.

[00:26:06] - [Speaker 2]
Yeah. And they reiterated it in this Capcom showcase today.

[00:26:10] - [Speaker 3]
Yeah. Yeah. I I'm I mean, I'm gonna buy it, but I'm interested to see how like, the is it I wonder if there's gonna be, a toggle where it's gonna be, like, yeah. Like, you're just in first person and then allow it to auto switch.

[00:26:26] - [Speaker 0]
I'm gonna be like, fuck you. I'm gonna play in first person anyway.

[00:26:30] - [Speaker 3]
Wait. Wait. Wait. Hold on. Let's let's let's fill the room here.

[00:26:33] - [Speaker 3]
If you're given the chance to play this next one in first or third person all the way through, which one

[00:26:38] - [Speaker 0]
are gonna pick? First first.

[00:26:39] - [Speaker 1]
Never never first person for me for anything because I get sick.

[00:26:43] - [Speaker 0]
Okay. Really?

[00:26:44] - [Speaker 2]
Yeah. First person for me for sure. Did not like Resident Evil seven that much, but I did like the first person aspect of it. So that is the way I would probably play. I did not play it yet.

[00:26:56] - [Speaker 3]
Oh, dude. Eight's good.

[00:26:58] - [Speaker 2]
Okay. I did not is it better than seven? I really did not like seven.

[00:27:02] - [Speaker 3]
It you know what, though? If you didn't like seven, you actually might like eight.

[00:27:07] - [Speaker 2]
Okay.

[00:27:07] - [Speaker 3]
Because eight might be a because it's it's definitely not like seven.

[00:27:12] - [Speaker 2]
I like the idea of seven. I just don't like the hide and seek bullshit. Oh, a thing is chasing you for for, like, forty minutes that you can't actually kill. Like, that that that is just not the kind

[00:27:23] - [Speaker 0]
of horror

[00:27:24] - [Speaker 2]
game I wanna play.

[00:27:25] - [Speaker 3]
Here's the thing. You do get that in eight.

[00:27:28] - [Speaker 0]
Just a little bit, though.

[00:27:29] - [Speaker 3]
One section.

[00:27:30] - [Speaker 2]
Oh, with from Vampy Mommy? Yeah. Oh,

[00:27:34] - [Speaker 0]
yes. You're getting Chase

[00:27:35] - [Speaker 2]
is not her.

[00:27:36] - [Speaker 3]
At all. Okay. Yeah. She she was recently on Tasha's podcast. Did you see that?

[00:27:43] - [Speaker 2]
No.

[00:27:44] - [Speaker 3]
Yeah. Daniel Tasha's Tasha show.

[00:27:47] - [Speaker 2]
Right.

[00:27:48] - [Speaker 3]
Yeah. She was on there, and he was, like, asking her the most ridiculous questions. Like, you could tell he was just like, Resident Evil.

[00:27:57] - [Speaker 2]
I like how

[00:27:58] - [Speaker 3]
Tell me about Resident Evil.

[00:28:00] - [Speaker 2]
I like how when Cap com unveiled resident evil eight, they're like, we didn't know she would garner such a response. Blah blah blah. I'm like, bullshit. You guys know exactly what you're doing. You know exactly what you're fucking doing.

We gifted each other two games. The stipulation is they have to be gone steam. They gotta be $1 or less. No free games. No free games whatsoever.

[00:29:45] - [Speaker 0]
And, yeah, we each picked at least I think we each picked a genre. I picked card games. Dre picked Shmups. And Kate, I don't know what the hell you picked.

[00:29:56] - [Speaker 3]
Did you just pick like

[00:29:57] - [Speaker 0]
cute games or what?

[00:29:59] - [Speaker 1]
No, I I feel like okay, so I don't know if it's because I pretty much only play indie games, but I feel like there are a lot of good really cheap games out there. So I tried to go for quality even though that was not the the goal. No. It's okay. That's alright.

[00:30:14] - [Speaker 2]
Well, you're I spoiler alert. Your game was definitely better than one Aaron gifted me.

[00:30:19] - [Speaker 0]
That's for sure. So yeah. Okay. So we each got

[00:30:22] - [Speaker 2]
a good

[00:30:23] - [Speaker 0]
game. Wait. No. I guess Kate didn't get any good games. Me and Drake No.

[00:30:27] - [Speaker 1]
I did. I know. I did. Like, listen. I got some good I yeah.

[00:30:31] - [Speaker 1]
I have things to say.

[00:30:32] - [Speaker 0]
Okay.

[00:30:32] - [Speaker 1]
I have I'm gonna sing my praises for both of the games. Y'all got me.

[00:30:36] - [Speaker 0]
Okay. Well, I'm gonna be so so we're all gonna go around and talk about the the games that we were gifted. Yeah. But I'm gonna be a big old egomaniac and go first. Tori three d fucks.

[00:30:47] - [Speaker 0]
That game is

[00:30:47] - [Speaker 1]
Hell yeah.

[00:30:48] - [Speaker 0]
Awesome. I have that on Switch. Now I have it on Steam, dude. Holy shit.

[00:30:52] - [Speaker 1]
You bought it again?

[00:30:53] - [Speaker 0]
No. I had it on on Switch.

[00:30:54] - [Speaker 1]
Oh, you already had it.

[00:30:55] - [Speaker 0]
Yeah. For a long time. That and like oh, was it? There's Tori two. There's Macbat 64.

[00:31:01] - [Speaker 0]
There's a bunch of those, like, types of games. But

[00:31:04] - [Speaker 3]
What what are the words happening? What what are we fucking talking about?

[00:31:09] - [Speaker 0]
Macbat 64, m a c d d. 64. It's like a 60 Nintendo 64 style game where you play as a bat, and it's really cool. Wait.

[00:31:19] - [Speaker 3]
Yeah. Tori three d actually.

[00:31:20] - [Speaker 2]
Why is this so funny?

[00:31:22] - [Speaker 3]
Wake it up.

[00:31:23] - [Speaker 0]
It's less funny

[00:31:24] - [Speaker 1]
if I've never played it. I've never played Tori three d, but I wanted to play it. So that's why I got it for you because I was like, that looks fun. It's only a dollar.

[00:31:32] - [Speaker 3]
You should play it.

[00:31:32] - [Speaker 0]
I might. It's really cool. It's like a kind of mix of, like, Sonic and Super Mario kind of. Like, you're just this little chick and you're running around and you're collecting shit and there's, like, obstacle courses and you just don't die.

[00:31:45] - [Speaker 3]
It looks good. Like, I'm on the Steam page, and it actually looks good. And it's got overwhelmingly positive reviews.

[00:31:51] - [Speaker 0]
It's really cool, man. There's some spooky shit toward the end, though. Spoiler alert. But

[00:31:56] - [Speaker 3]
Is I'm looking at this right yeah. Actually, the tags. Three d platformer platformer cute three d horror. Yes. Does it control tight?

[00:32:10] - [Speaker 3]
Or is it, like, kind of floaty, shitty feeling?

[00:32:13] - [Speaker 1]
The platforming.

[00:32:14] - [Speaker 0]
It's like like a like a it's not it's not bad. It like, it's good. It's like a teeny bit floaty like But

[00:32:21] - [Speaker 3]
like that's how those old games were though. Right? No. This looks good.

[00:32:25] - [Speaker 0]
Yeah.

[00:32:26] - [Speaker 3]
Who gifted this to you?

[00:32:27] - [Speaker 0]
Kate

[00:32:27] - [Speaker 3]
did. Bless bless you, Kate. Yeah. Bless you.

[00:32:31] - [Speaker 1]
I just feel like there's good games out there for sure that are a dollar or less. I also got you guys a game that I really love, like another indie game. I don't know if you played it, but

[00:32:41] - [Speaker 2]
I did. I actually played a little bit of it today. Wanted to sit down and be like, okay. I will actually play this. You know what I mean?

[00:32:47] - [Speaker 2]
I turned it on for a few. It's like, I will actually

[00:32:49] - [Speaker 3]
What is it?

[00:32:50] - [Speaker 1]
That one's called milk inside a bag of milk inside

[00:32:52] - [Speaker 2]
a Dude, bag of

[00:32:54] - [Speaker 3]
that game is fucking crazy.

[00:32:56] - [Speaker 2]
Yeah. I played a little bit. I played, like, literally, like, three minutes. I'm like, okay. I wanna save this for another time.

[00:33:02] - [Speaker 2]
Save it for a

[00:33:03] - [Speaker 1]
day where you're ready, but it's only, like, twenty five minutes. Yeah. There's a sequel. I haven't played the sequel yet.

[00:33:07] - [Speaker 3]
But No?

[00:33:08] - [Speaker 1]
Yeah. It's there's some good stuff out there. I was like, wanted to get you guys bad games, but I was like, there's probably probably good ones out there. I'm trying to have fun There's out surprising there, you

[00:33:18] - [Speaker 0]
amount of like three d platformers, like, Collectathon three d platformers that are, like, less than $5. Like, Kiwi 64 is another one like that. That's a really good one.

[00:33:28] - [Speaker 3]
I've heard of Pseudo Regalia?

[00:33:31] - [Speaker 1]
Yes. I've heard of that. Yeah.

[00:33:32] - [Speaker 3]
Oh, and Corbin's 64. That's, like, 25 or something. Hard.

[00:33:36] - [Speaker 2]
Really? Okay. Because I I

[00:33:37] - [Speaker 1]
see it from time

[00:33:38] - [Speaker 2]
to time. It gets recommended

[00:33:39] - [Speaker 3]
to me, but I never Pseudo Regalia is some shit, dude. K. It controls so good and, like, it feels like a PS one game or like an N Actually, it's like a combination, I guess, of N 64 and PS one, but like, it has very, very good controls. And it's like very well done, like action platforming. Okay.

[00:34:00] - [Speaker 1]
Hell yeah.

[00:34:01] - [Speaker 3]
It's very, very good. I think it's been it's one person. Like literally one person made that game.

[00:34:06] - [Speaker 2]
Wow. One of thems.

[00:34:08] - [Speaker 1]
One of thems.

[00:34:09] - [Speaker 0]
I'm gonna pass the ball. Kate, you're you're right next to me in the thing. So.

[00:34:15] - [Speaker 1]
Yeah. Yeah. So somebody gifted me this game, one of y'all, because I don't remember who it was, but it's called Phoenix Force. Who did this to me? I did.

[00:34:24] - [Speaker 1]
Oh my gosh. I'm Okay. No. This game fucks. Okay.

[00:34:28] - [Speaker 1]
So I started playing this started playing this game last night. So I was editing an episode of No Small Games. We had the Friday night GameCast crew on. Oh, nice. I love those guys.

[00:34:38] - [Speaker 1]
They're awesome. I was editing our episode last night and I just got into this like crazy flow state while I was playing this game and editing the episode at the same time. So yeah, Phoenix Force. This is hard AF. Those are my own words.

[00:34:50] - [Speaker 1]
Bullet Hell shoot them up. Bullet Hell shoot them up game about a group of phoenixes that fight super strong mythological creatures. And there are a 100 levels or like more than a 100 levels. So I didn't finish it, but It's I really loved just like, you could pick up this game and kinda it's kinda like a reminded me of like a Vampire Survivors almost where you could just like pick it up and just like go. Like Vampire Survivors is one of my favorite like drunk games.

[00:35:18] - [Speaker 1]
Because I feel like if you overthink it, then you're just gonna die. And I feel similarly about this game. Like once I started paying attention to what I was doing, I was dying constantly. But when I was editing and just like just on autopilot, I was dodging all these fucking boomerangs and bullets and bombs. It

[00:35:36] - [Speaker 3]
looks really cool. Yeah. This looks cool. Honestly

[00:35:39] - [Speaker 1]
looks. Yeah.

[00:35:39] - [Speaker 3]
I just wanted to say too, like, it's it's good to see some of these games that, you know, you're it's almost it's kinda funny because your intention was to get shitty, quote, unquote, shitty Steam games because they're, you know, they're cheap. Sometimes people are like, oh, it's cheap. Who like, how good can this be? But then, like, you get a game like this where you're like, oh, actually, this is really, really well done. And I think we should shout out the developers of some of these smaller games too.

[00:36:08] - [Speaker 3]
Definitely. By Awoker Games.

[00:36:12] - [Speaker 1]
Awoker. Yeah.

[00:36:13] - [Speaker 0]
Awoker. Awoker. Yeah.

[00:36:14] - [Speaker 1]
Think it came out in twenty fourteen twenty fourteen or 2016.

[00:36:18] - [Speaker 3]
Yeah. They they make another game called Bullet Party and another one called Cards of Cthulhu.

[00:36:26] - [Speaker 0]
Oh, I've heard of Cards of Cthulhu. Of course, I have. Really? Yeah. Yeah.

[00:36:30] - [Speaker 3]
Of course, you have.

[00:36:32] - [Speaker 1]
Also, at the time of recording, this game is 49¢ on Steam.

[00:36:36] - [Speaker 3]
I know.

[00:36:36] - [Speaker 1]
It's it's

[00:36:37] - [Speaker 2]
that's what it means, like.

[00:36:39] - [Speaker 1]
So thank you, Dre. This is like gonna be one of my new faves. I'm gonna be picking it up while I edit every single time. It it is really hard, though. But I like, not in a way that's upsetting.

[00:36:50] - [Speaker 1]
Like, you just like, keep going. You know? It's cool.

[00:36:52] - [Speaker 2]
Okay. I I accidentally got you something good. I was trying to pick something from grade a trash, but it didn't work out that way. That's It's

[00:36:58] - [Speaker 1]
be in my top ten ten new top 10 list. So hell yeah.

[00:37:02] - [Speaker 2]
Kinda like a podcast or like other shows where they watch like bad movies, but then it's like, oh, wait, This one was good? Woah. What

[00:37:09] - [Speaker 1]
happened? Yeah.

[00:37:11] - [Speaker 2]
You know?

[00:37:12] - [Speaker 3]
To go back, Tori three d, the developer is Siaktro. Sounds like a condition.

[00:37:20] - [Speaker 2]
Oh, yeah. It does. Contracted the Cactro.

[00:37:23] - [Speaker 3]
My Cactro is really act acting up, guys. Or it's like it's like one of those pills that you always see on TV. It's like talk to your doctor today about Cactro.

[00:37:31] - [Speaker 0]
The side effects may cause diarrhea. The side effects cause

[00:37:35] - [Speaker 2]
Death. Every every just everything. Yeah.

[00:37:39] - [Speaker 3]
Shitting through your mouth.

[00:37:42] - [Speaker 1]
Damn.

[00:37:43] - [Speaker 2]
Wow. Which

[00:37:43] - [Speaker 0]
I hope Trey at least got one good game. Trey, did you get a good one?

[00:37:47] - [Speaker 2]
Yeah. Yeah. The one Kate okay. Let me talk about the good one first because yours was really actually bad. So yeah.

[00:37:55] - [Speaker 2]
I did not like it. So okay. Let me talk about the one Kate gave me, and I hope you gave this to me because it includes the word balls.

[00:38:03] - [Speaker 1]
That's exactly right.

[00:38:05] - [Speaker 2]
Okay. Thank you. Balls with a z, mind you.

[00:38:07] - [Speaker 1]
Yes.

[00:38:08] - [Speaker 2]
Balls with a z colon farm.

[00:38:11] - [Speaker 3]
Balls farm. So

[00:38:15] - [Speaker 2]
here's the thing. I think this may have been like a mobile game or something because the game just loads directly into, like, play options, quit menu UI.

[00:38:25] - [Speaker 0]
Oh, yeah.

[00:38:26] - [Speaker 2]
You know, there's no title screen or developer logo or anything. It just, like, it just happens. Just straight into this menu while the camera pans around the landscape to this very mid tempo banjo ass country tune. Sweet. It's like, okay.

[00:38:40] - [Speaker 2]
Balls Farm. Like, I'm getting the I'm getting the vibe here. Right? The so, again, the buttons on this UI are huge. So, like, there's just no way it wasn't a mobile game where you just, like, hit it with your Yeah.

[00:38:52] - [Speaker 2]
My big fat fingers. I click play. And I click play, and a grid of numbers shows up. So presumably, I can pick a level. So I click the number one, and the game begins.

[00:39:06] - [Speaker 2]
And I have no expectations of what this might be of, like, genre or anything. It's it's Breakout.

[00:39:12] - [Speaker 3]
It's Arkanoid. I'm I'm looking at it right now.

[00:39:14] - [Speaker 0]
It looks really cool. It's Arkanoid with a farm with a farm Or

[00:39:18] - [Speaker 2]
or like Alleyway for Game Boy, whatever whatever variation you wanna say. That's all it is. But instead of breaking bricks with, like, a nondescript ball, you're taking out pieces of a landscape, like, of of the farm, like the fences, the barrels of water, the barns and the sheds, the pigs, cows, trees even. Right? Like, everything out here is

[00:39:37] - [Speaker 0]
getting done.

[00:39:38] - [Speaker 3]
Dre, I got good news for you, man. I I watched a video just now of this, and eventually, you get to a soccer field, dude. What? What? You get off that farm, and I guarantee you, at the end of this game, you're gonna be traveling

[00:39:50] - [Speaker 0]
to the moon

[00:39:51] - [Speaker 2]
to kill the god. If the moon

[00:39:53] - [Speaker 0]
is not killed god. Like, is it not? Sensei?

[00:39:57] - [Speaker 2]
If the moon is not made of cheese, then fuck this game. Like, I'm I'm refunding it. Balls Farm. But but, like, look. Balls Farm is delivering on the promise of its name.

[00:40:09] - [Speaker 2]
Okay? You cannot fault it for that. For sure. But, yeah, as you can imagine, because of the price

[00:40:17] - [Speaker 3]
I wanna make, like, a free fucking advertisement for these guys and just be, like, like, a crazy colorful green screen background flashing and just be like, you guys like balls? You guys like forms? Get in here. Get in here. Play balls form.

[00:40:32] - [Speaker 2]
But this makes me think it's like a series. If there's, like, balls

[00:40:36] - [Speaker 3]
There is.

[00:40:37] - [Speaker 2]
Stadiums. Look.

[00:40:39] - [Speaker 3]
We're gonna shout these guys out

[00:40:40] - [Speaker 1]
right now. Cottagecore balls. Supermarket. Core.

[00:40:44] - [Speaker 0]
Cottage balls.

[00:40:46] - [Speaker 2]
I love it. That would be great. The the Animal Crossing ass ball.

[00:40:51] - [Speaker 3]
The developer is Uniox or UnioCS. I don't know how you would pronounce this, but it's UnioCS or Uniox.

[00:41:00] - [Speaker 0]
Unix. Unix. Yeah.

[00:41:04] - [Speaker 3]
They make balls farm and a book a game called

[00:41:08] - [Speaker 1]
Books. Just Books?

[00:41:12] - [Speaker 0]
Books. Man. It's called Books.

[00:41:16] - [Speaker 3]
It looks it's I mean

[00:41:19] - [Speaker 0]
It's a video game. Right? It's a video game for sure,

[00:41:22] - [Speaker 3]
and it's kinda just what it says it is. It's You read the notes. They're they're they're delivering

[00:41:28] - [Speaker 2]
on the car. Whatever way you see is what you know what be cool?

[00:41:32] - [Speaker 0]
You know

[00:41:32] - [Speaker 2]
what I would legit play? Check this shit

[00:41:34] - [Speaker 3]
out. So

[00:41:35] - [Speaker 2]
imagine, like, a library, like, a mid century library from, like, the fifties or sixties.

[00:41:41] - [Speaker 3]
I can see this. Right?

[00:41:42] - [Speaker 2]
And you just walk around in the library. But this is like a this looks so immaculate. It's like some Unreal Engine five, like, Nanite bullshit. It's like incredible looking fucking library.

[00:41:53] - [Speaker 3]
Is there stained glass? Yeah. Oh, Oh, yeah. Everything. Everything.

[00:41:56] - [Speaker 3]
Yeah.

[00:41:57] - [Speaker 2]
But that's all you do. You just you just enjoy the library. You could there's, like, a few books to read. They can put in some, like, you know, Dracula or whatever's public domain. Right?

[00:42:06] - [Speaker 2]
Like, you can actually put in some books if you want. But for the most part, you just get to enjoy the library.

[00:42:12] - [Speaker 1]
Like the vibe. Yeah. Library. Yeah. Yeah.

[00:42:15] - [Speaker 0]
They make like they made a million games where you like make an arcade or like roam around like a virtual arcade or whatever. They should do that with like a library. That'd cool as fuck.

[00:42:25] - [Speaker 1]
Listen, guys. Listen. I got a recommendation for you. There's an indie game coming out called Tiny Bookshop. This this is exactly what you want, Dre.

[00:42:32] - [Speaker 1]
This is exactly what you're talking about.

[00:42:34] - [Speaker 0]
Oh, okay.

[00:42:34] - [Speaker 1]
You own a bookshop and it's on wheels on the coast. There's a fucking lighthouse. You don't have to read the books. You just curate. You get the vibe.

[00:42:43] - [Speaker 1]
You put up posters for the local band. It's just like, what's better than that, you know? I can't book it up.

[00:42:47] - [Speaker 0]
I wish there was a

[00:42:48] - [Speaker 3]
DLC though for it that where you can be like the local drunk and you just stumble into this fucking place.

[00:42:53] - [Speaker 0]
I'm just like, Martha, get me another one.

[00:42:56] - [Speaker 3]
It's like, Jesus Christ, Jimmy. The bar is two doors down. You come in here every day.

[00:43:01] - [Speaker 1]
Tiny bookshop, drunken bastard DLC.

[00:43:05] - [Speaker 2]
Yeah. I would love that. But, yeah, like, balls balls farm is like it's not great. It's it's fine. Right?

[00:43:15] - [Speaker 2]
Like, it's not it's it's functional as a game. It works. It's not buggy or broken or something you might expect for 79¢ or whatever. It's kind of just like a sketch of an idea. This is not this is not Breakout or this is not like Arkanoid.

[00:43:30] - [Speaker 2]
Arkanoid's one of my favorite arcade games of all time. Like, the especially the sound design. It's because there's, like, no BGM as you're playing. Right? You get, like, the ping pong of space.

[00:43:40] - [Speaker 2]
It's really echoey.

[00:43:41] - [Speaker 0]
Yeah. You

[00:43:42] - [Speaker 2]
get, like don't expect anything like that from Balls Farm, obviously. You're gonna get that banjo tune, and that's about

[00:43:48] - [Speaker 3]
expect fallout four from balls Yeah. Farm.

[00:43:52] - [Speaker 2]
And and, you know, the the the balls physics are a bit fucky as, like, a lot of these, like, cheaper, like, kind of, you know, breakout clones kinda are. But you know what? For what it is

[00:44:02] - [Speaker 3]
62¢ or whatever it is.

[00:44:04] - [Speaker 2]
Yeah. I mean, you could do a lot worse. I mean, it was actually it was actually a game. I don't think what Aaron gave me was a game.

[00:44:11] - [Speaker 0]
Oh, man. Really? Yeah.

[00:44:14] - [Speaker 3]
What what did he give you? Should I should I

[00:44:16] - [Speaker 0]
go into it? Should we

[00:44:17] - [Speaker 2]
do reverse snake order?

[00:44:18] - [Speaker 0]
Before we get to the bad games, should we should we do an ad break?

[00:44:22] - [Speaker 2]
Let's do an ad break.

[00:44:23] - [Speaker 3]
Yeah. Let's do an ad break. Okay. Okay. We'll be right

[00:44:26] - [Speaker 0]
back. Nantando.

[00:44:27] - [Speaker 3]
What kind of shit do you have for us today, Aaron? What are you trying to pedal on us today?

[00:44:34] - [Speaker 0]
Yeah. So so, I don't know, rakes. You know, you there's leaves on your yard. The sand, you have a zen garden, use a rake for them. Blah blah blah.

[00:44:43] - [Speaker 1]
Escaping?

[00:44:44] - [Speaker 0]
Yeah. Yeah. All that shit. You know what? Rakes are boring.

[00:44:47] - [Speaker 0]
Normal rakes are boring. They come in just, the same shape. There's, like, the spread out ones. There's, like, the forky looking ones. Introducing Rake Bros.

[00:44:56] - [Speaker 0]
They've got rakes in different shapes. If you want one in the shape of like Ray Liotta's face, got it. Rake Bros. If you want a rake in the shape of like a hotdog.

[00:45:06] - [Speaker 3]
RIP.

[00:45:07] - [Speaker 2]
Rake Bros.

[00:45:07] - [Speaker 1]
Awesome.

[00:45:09] - [Speaker 2]
Can I can I tell you the the rake shape I would like? I want the silly straw rake. You know? Oh. Like, the silly straw.

[00:45:16] - [Speaker 2]
I'd like I want, like, the, you know

[00:45:18] - [Speaker 0]
Over the briskets. The stretch out.

[00:45:20] - [Speaker 2]
Hold on to it in different because, you know, it's silly.

[00:45:23] - [Speaker 1]
It's quite effective, actually. I feel like it would, like, cover a wide range.

[00:45:27] - [Speaker 0]
Mhmm. You know what? Rake Bros also has this new kind of rake. The so the bristles, they're, like, telescopic, so you can just, like, and just, like, like, pull them

[00:45:37] - [Speaker 3]
out like that. And then Wow.

[00:45:39] - [Speaker 0]
And then the handle's also telescopic. So you have this, like, fucking five charred long rake that you can rake from, like, two area codes away. Wow.

[00:45:48] - [Speaker 5]
It can

[00:45:48] - [Speaker 1]
rake the neighbor's house that's, like, three doors down.

[00:45:51] - [Speaker 3]
Yeah. I was gonna say,

[00:45:52] - [Speaker 2]
I was thinking, like, okay. Because if I live in, like, a three story house, which I will never do because I'm poor, I would love to rake outside, like, from the Third Floor, you know, from my lawn. I don't have to actually go outside.

[00:46:04] - [Speaker 3]
Buddy, I got I got super good news for you because they've given us an exclusive deal, and we have DLC for these rakes. And what it is

[00:46:13] - [Speaker 1]
is DLC?

[00:46:13] - [Speaker 3]
Tiny mini mini dude rakes. And what it is is it's what what you do is you take the rake and you flip it upward, and then you pull it behind your head. Mhmm. And then what you can do is you can use that rake to kind of, you know, just act as a way to back massage

[00:46:33] - [Speaker 0]
Yeah. Oh. And get rid of some itchiness. Interesting.

[00:46:36] - [Speaker 1]
No. Like, I actually need that.

[00:46:37] - [Speaker 3]
That's excellent. Really good. I would recommend picking up the one with the the the metal, the metal rake. Use that. Just really get it in there and pull.

[00:46:49] - [Speaker 3]
And just sometimes it's it's not that big of a deal if you hook your skin.

[00:46:53] - [Speaker 0]
Mhmm. Oh, no. Four

[00:46:55] - [Speaker 3]
people in the tests ended up getting some sort of

[00:46:58] - [Speaker 0]
an STD from these things.

[00:46:59] - [Speaker 2]
I understand. So it's we have to take. It's a risk we have to take.

[00:47:04] - [Speaker 3]
It's really not that big of a deal.

[00:47:06] - [Speaker 2]
I don't think so.

[00:47:07] - [Speaker 0]
I'll I'll turn six.

[00:47:08] - [Speaker 3]
And it's DLC. It's an add on.

[00:47:09] - [Speaker 0]
Like Six six.

[00:47:10] - [Speaker 3]
Who who else is gonna take care of you like this? Like, who else gives you a rake, a thing of modern technology, and then expands it into the universe. Oh. But then it adds on something for you. Also, just a really quick aside, you might notice that the like, all the rakes have, like, little googly eyes on them because what happened was they're, like, kind two.

[00:47:33] - [Speaker 3]
Well, they're rejected from, like, all the old n 64 rare games. I gotcha. And they they're, like, they've been out of work. They have personnel they had they

[00:47:41] - [Speaker 0]
actually have feelings, but, like,

[00:47:42] - [Speaker 3]
who cares? They're just rakes.

[00:47:43] - [Speaker 2]
Like Right. Well, that explains the STDs, really. I I understand how it happens.

[00:47:47] - [Speaker 0]
Yeah. A lot of them have

[00:47:48] - [Speaker 3]
been getting fucked. Yeah. A lot of them have been getting fucked.

[00:47:50] - [Speaker 0]
Yeah. Oh, here's another thing too. Nice people. They're also getting, like, tricked the fuck out. Like, there's a lot of them that have, like, LEDs.

[00:47:58] - [Speaker 0]
Just copious Or like a bell. Yeah. Or like a bell or like a flashlight at the end or something like that.

[00:48:03] - [Speaker 3]
Oh my god. Maybe like

[00:48:05] - [Speaker 0]
a Swiss army rake. It's got a flashlight. You got a rake. You got a knife. You got a gun.

[00:48:10] - [Speaker 0]
You got a

[00:48:11] - [Speaker 1]
What do feel like being a vape?

[00:48:13] - [Speaker 3]
Vape. Oh, yeah. Vape.

[00:48:14] - [Speaker 0]
Vape. Vape.

[00:48:15] - [Speaker 3]
Feel feel really bad for Rusty Randy. He was he was a rake out of Oklahoma, actually. Mhmm. And he's been he's been out of work for quite a while. He tried to get into they're they're filming a reboot of, Beauty and the Beast again, so it's like a re re re reboot.

[00:48:31] - [Speaker 3]
Gotcha. And he was supposed to be, like, one of the, like, the things in that movie, but he just, like, couldn't get clean.

[00:48:37] - [Speaker 0]
Poor Rusty dude. Like Horribly, they did the opioids.

[00:48:41] - [Speaker 3]
Yeah. So, essentially, like, what you, like, what you think this is, it's not like it's not so much like you go to a store and you're like, oh, I need a rake for this. It's more of like an adoption thing. I'm an adopter. Yeah.

[00:48:52] - [Speaker 3]
It's it's it's an adopter it's an adopter thing. Right? So, like That's cool. Yeah. And if you have to use one to scratch your ass, it doesn't matter.

[00:49:00] - [Speaker 3]
Like, they're just dying for work. Yeah. It's like they're just they really will just do whatever you want.

[00:49:05] - [Speaker 2]
You I understand. You pay you pay

[00:49:07] - [Speaker 0]
the rake by the hour. Like, you

[00:49:09] - [Speaker 1]
I understand.

[00:49:11] - [Speaker 2]
I understand. It's like it's like it's like the Flintstones when the bird turns to those cameras and says, well, it's a living. You know? Like, that

[00:49:18] - [Speaker 0]
kind of thing.

[00:49:18] - [Speaker 3]
It's really not that big

[00:49:19] - [Speaker 0]
of a deal. If you if you snap your rake in half, you

[00:49:24] - [Speaker 3]
literally have just taken the life of the rake, but, like,

[00:49:27] - [Speaker 0]
you just You will

[00:49:27] - [Speaker 3]
go to prison. It's not four way. That. I understand. Murder.

[00:49:32] - [Speaker 3]
It's really not that big of a deal.

[00:49:33] - [Speaker 0]
I yeah. So it is. You know? Jerry, that's a lie. The way that we throw prison lives around

[00:49:38] - [Speaker 3]
no. No. No. No. No.

[00:49:39] - [Speaker 3]
It's fine. The way that we throw human lives around, like, fuck them. This is just rakes.

[00:49:42] - [Speaker 2]
What's a rake?

[00:49:43] - [Speaker 3]
Really? Yeah. Well, who cares? You can fuck it. You can snap it in half.

[00:50:18] - [Speaker 0]
A family of STD infested rakes having picnics and snapping them in half when you don't agree with what they say or their politics.

[00:50:27] - [Speaker 3]
Some of them are very politically incorrect, and they just

[00:50:31] - [Speaker 0]
just fucking snap their guys

[00:50:32] - [Speaker 3]
in half.

[00:50:33] - [Speaker 2]
If you snapped it, then who would you miss it? Yeah. Would you would you miss it? I mean

Who rent another one?

[00:50:38] - [Speaker 2]
Yeah. It's it's fine.

[00:50:39] - [Speaker 3]
Or you know what? We live in a society today. You could just call up fucking Rice, which is the ice of the rakes. That's

[00:50:47] - [Speaker 2]
Rice. Just call

[00:50:48] - [Speaker 0]

[00:50:53] - [Speaker 3]
They fucking serve us, and get these fucking rakes out of here.

[00:50:56] - [Speaker 2]
Yeah. If I if I if I if I see any rakes at my neighbor's house, I know I know the 800 number to call. 1100%.

[00:51:02] - [Speaker 0]
You call up right, and it's just crazy. Yeah.

[00:51:06] - [Speaker 5]
Where the fucking rake's at?

[00:51:08] - [Speaker 3]
What I'm telling you, it's not as fun to do that whole thing as it is to just bring him on a picnic, fuck him, and break him in half.

[00:51:14] - [Speaker 0]
It's Yeah. Yeah. Thanks for sponsoring the show.

[00:51:19] - [Speaker 2]
Thank you. Nintendo.

[00:51:26] - [Speaker 0]
We're so back. That's all I want. I just want someone to take me on a picnic. Fuck. I'll take it.

Damn, man. Fuck. Yeah. Break my stomach in half. Dre, what's what game busted your stomach in half?

[00:51:53] - [Speaker 2]
Okay. Okay. Let me tell you about this fucking bullshit that you gave me. It's called I don't even I can't believe I'm going to say this out loud. It's called Steamulator 2,000 Oh,

[00:52:05] - [Speaker 1]
gosh. Steamulator 2,000 like, that's the full title?

[00:52:07] - [Speaker 2]
That's the name. 2,019.

[00:52:09] - [Speaker 0]
Sweet. So

[00:52:12] - [Speaker 2]
the splash image has an insert that says from the makers of I can't believe it's not gambling. Oh, boy. I'm in for it, aren't I? Mean, that's the first thing I saw. So I'm like, oh my god.

[00:52:27] - [Speaker 2]
This is gonna be terrible.

[00:52:30] - [Speaker 0]
This looks really fucking funny.

[00:52:32] - [Speaker 1]
Find it. Somebody linked me. What is it called?

[00:52:35] - [Speaker 2]
Steamulator 2,019.

[00:52:37] - [Speaker 3]
Okay.

[00:52:38] - [Speaker 1]
Got it. Got it. Got it.

[00:52:40] - [Speaker 3]
So Oh god.

[00:52:41] - [Speaker 2]
I boot the game on Steam Deck. Right? And I'm greeted with a Windows pop up graphics menu, the likes I have not seen since, like, playing spore or something like that. This is straight out of the the late two thousands. This is some really ancient shit you expected, like, if you up if you're, like, installing Ghost Recon Advance Warfighter or something.

[00:53:02] - [Speaker 2]
Right? Like, this is really So I'm like, okay. I chose some settings. I hit play, and then I'm greeted with this extremely nineties MIDI tune. Oh, man.

[00:53:16] - [Speaker 2]
This jaunty little pop ditty. Right? And there's a loading screen. This loading screen never ends. I let it sit for, like, five minutes and the game never loaded.

[00:53:26] - [Speaker 2]
Sweet.

[00:53:26] - [Speaker 3]
Damn. Okay.

[00:53:27] - [Speaker 2]
Fine. So I quit out. I try again. Doesn't load again. Okay.

[00:53:31] - [Speaker 2]
Fine. Maybe it doesn't like the Steam Deck. Maybe it's just too old. Right? I guess I have to defile my actual computer with this piece of crap.

[00:53:40] - [Speaker 2]
Okay? So I that's exactly what I did. I downloaded it to my laptop, and I try again there, and it works. Okay. I'm in hacker voice.

[00:53:49] - [Speaker 2]
I'm in.

[00:53:50] - [Speaker 0]
No. Wait. Wait.

[00:53:51] - [Speaker 1]
You go.

[00:53:52] - [Speaker 0]
I'm in. Yeah. I'm gonna get the glasses.

[00:53:55] - [Speaker 2]
This is legit one of the dumbest things I have ever ever played.

[00:54:00] - [Speaker 0]
Hell yeah.

[00:54:01] - [Speaker 2]
So Mhmm. The premise is you're a video game publisher and you're deciding which games to publish or not publish based on the pitches that the that of the game gives you. It's not even really a pitch. It's more like a very brief description. Usually, just the game title and the genre, but sometimes there's, like, some other things too.

[00:54:21] - [Speaker 2]
This seems to be procedurally generated from a base of, like, various phrases and stuff. So I don't really know how they, like, the they slap them together, but it's very haphazard and amateurish. You can do this kind of thing. Right? But, like, it just whatever this team is doing, it's just like gobbledygook.

[00:54:42] - [Speaker 2]
It's just it doesn't make any sense.

[00:54:44] - [Speaker 3]
Did you

[00:54:44] - [Speaker 0]
write the the this fucking Steam review

[00:54:47] - [Speaker 3]
that says the game wouldn't even start? I feel scammed, the game was dirt cheap. Yes.

[00:54:52] - [Speaker 2]
I I wrote that myself. I am who whatever that what's that username? That that is definitely me.

[00:54:57] - [Speaker 3]
Number one Simpson. Yes. That's that's me.

[00:55:01] - [Speaker 2]
That is absolutely me. And then here's the thing. So it's like a it's I guess it's supposed to be a deck building game, obstensively, but I don't really know what the goal is. It's very random. It's like, okay.

[00:55:15] - [Speaker 2]
So they generated this, like, thing, and you have, like, these four meters at the top. It's like public perception, revenue, and, like, two other things. Right? That, like, you know, like, video you're so you're like, you're this video game company, but every time I reject or pick one, it just all the meters just randomly go up or down. I have no idea why I'm choosing what I'm choosing.

[00:55:38] - [Speaker 2]
It's just, like, happening to me. The game is happening.

[00:55:40] - [Speaker 1]
It's happening

[00:55:41] - [Speaker 0]
to me.

[00:55:41] - [Speaker 2]
The game is happening. Stimulator 2,019 happens to you. You don't play it. It plays your fucking ass. You're goddamn right.

[00:55:48] - [Speaker 2]
After you accept or pass a number of games, the game just decides to stop and give you your final score with, like, yet another randomly generated bit of text describing what I assume is your company's fate, but, like, it feels more like a bad fortune cookie. It feels very personal. You know? Like, it's

[00:56:08] - [Speaker 3]
just it's insane. Find love today.

[00:56:11] - [Speaker 2]
Yeah. It's just like, okay. I guess. It just makes Aaron, this made no sense. I had no idea why I was picking what I was picking.

[00:56:21] - [Speaker 2]
It was the worst. Like,

[00:56:23] - [Speaker 3]
I I just Why did you pick this?

[00:56:26] - [Speaker 2]
Yeah. Like, I I I wish it could be like, okay. Pick some indie games to keep, like, these people happy or pick some big triple a games to publish to get your revenue up or whatever. Right? Like, I I wish there was, like, some logic to it because I'm I'm here for, like, very simple, like, concepts like that, but, like, it just doesn't I'm shooting in the dark here, Aaron.

[00:56:47] - [Speaker 2]
She why would you why would you do this to me? Guess this is the point of the show.

[00:56:51] - [Speaker 0]
Yeah. Goal of an episode was to was to pick I mean, I guess

[00:56:55] - [Speaker 1]
Was to make everyone have a bad time.

[00:56:57] - [Speaker 2]
Oh, I had a bad time. I mean, not for very long. I didn't play it that long, but, like, it was it was terrible. But but okay. Can I ask you why you saw this?

[00:57:05] - [Speaker 2]
Was it just random and you just, oh, you're I'm gifting this to them?

[00:57:08] - [Speaker 0]
Or just For both of you guys, it was the name. It was based solely on the name. Okay. I saw Steamulator 2019, and I was like, that looks like shit.

[00:57:18] - [Speaker 3]
So clicked on

[00:57:19] - [Speaker 0]
it. But, like, how did

[00:57:20] - [Speaker 3]
this come up? How did this find its way to you?

[00:57:24] - [Speaker 2]
Because we searched for games under a dollar.

[00:57:27] - [Speaker 0]
Yeah. I I sorted the entire Steam store by price low to high and then filtered out free games. And then I just looked through them real fast, saw saw this game and then Kate's game, which we'll get to in a little bit. And I was like, oh, that looks shitty. And then I I bought them.

[00:57:45] - [Speaker 3]
Crazy to me, though It was shitty. Is the fact that this game only has mixed for its reviews.

[00:57:53] - [Speaker 2]
I I cannot believe that. It is terrible.

[00:57:56] - [Speaker 0]
Like, I like,

[00:57:58] - [Speaker 3]
I don't even know how many overwhelmingly negative ones I've ever seen.

[00:58:04] - [Speaker 2]
It's yeah. You would have to you would have to piss off some fan base by doing some weird shit so it gets steam review bombed. Right? Like, that's the only way to get it.

[00:58:12] - [Speaker 0]
Or be

[00:58:12] - [Speaker 2]
an Xbox exclusive, Brand I

[00:58:14] - [Speaker 3]
new game that just came out. Mind's Eye is mostly negative.

[00:58:18] - [Speaker 2]
Yeah. That game is fucked up. Mind's Eye. Fuck it.

[00:58:22] - [Speaker 0]
Haven't heard of it. Oh.

[00:58:24] - [Speaker 3]
It's clean negative. It's like a GTA

[00:58:26] - [Speaker 5]
that in a while.

[00:58:26] - [Speaker 2]
Alone from, like, the era of, like, GTA four. It looks straight up looks like a three sixty game. It's wild. Oh. But it's, like, super broken.

[00:58:34] - [Speaker 0]
Percent on Google.

[00:58:36] - [Speaker 2]
Oh, yeah.

[00:58:36] - [Speaker 1]
Oh, yeah. That's bad. It's terrible.

[00:58:38] - [Speaker 0]
Speaking of terrible, would you get a cape?

[00:58:40] - [Speaker 1]
Oh my god. I actually love this game too that you got me. I love both the games. Sorry to disappoint you. It's okay.

[00:58:48] - [Speaker 1]
I so Aaron gifted me a short Russian blackjack game, which like the name says it all. And listen, you guys, like, I'm just a girl. I've never played black Jack. I've never played Resident Evil. I don't know what y'all are talking about.

[00:59:03] - [Speaker 1]
But what I know now is that I might like black Jack because of this this game. Really? I just yeah. Like, I just learned how to play black Jack, like, two hours ago when I queued up this game for the first time.

[00:59:14] - [Speaker 3]
Wow.

[00:59:14] - [Speaker 1]
It is cool. It's really fucking cool. And so you kinda start off the game. There's this like jazz music playing. I love jazz music.

[00:59:21] - [Speaker 1]
So I like, hell yeah. I And walked so the dealer is like this cursed looking bull, animated bull, who kinda looks like he could live in the world of like Boss Baby. And he's

[00:59:31] - [Speaker 0]
like Gross.

[00:59:33] - [Speaker 1]
He's like, you're in debt. You're in debt. And I'm like, okay. Again, I'm just a girl. I don't know what's going on here.

[00:59:38] - [Speaker 1]
I'm just a And then he's like he's like, okay. We're gonna we're gonna play blackjack, but here's the twist. It's also Russian roulette at the same time. Oh. And each person has three lives.

[00:59:49] - [Speaker 1]
And I'm like, okay. I'm locked in. So and it's kinda like the POV's giving like sort of inscription vibe, which was pretty cool.

[00:59:55] - [Speaker 0]
That's what I thought. So you're

[00:59:56] - [Speaker 1]
just in this dark room with a bowl, Boss Baby Bowl. So- It

[01:00:00] - [Speaker 3]
does look like Boss Baby Bowl. Boss Baby

[01:00:02] - [Speaker 1]
Bowl. Right. And so, so what's cool about this is I learned how to play blackjack, but then they've got that exciting, like you might die element going on, right? Because there's a gun that has five fake rounds and one real round. Holy So at the start of each round, like it's like loaded in like this random order.

[01:00:20] - [Speaker 1]
So if you lose all your money, you just get shot dead. Game's over, start again. Holy shit. And then at the end of each round, then that's when you have to like shoot yourself or the bull shoots himself, themself, bull self. And so it was pretty hardcore.

[01:00:40] - [Speaker 1]
There were and again, so I was expecting maybe some bugs, maybe some jank in both of the games that y'all got me, but they were both super smooth on the Steam Deck. And so I was able to learn how to play blackjack with a fun twist and get to credits in twenty four minutes, which is ideal for Wow.

[01:00:56] - [Speaker 2]
Twenty four minutes. That's speedrun.

[01:00:58] - [Speaker 0]
That's a

[01:00:58] - [Speaker 3]
good beat. That's a good beat.

[01:01:00] - [Speaker 0]
That's good.

[01:01:00] - [Speaker 1]
And I won and it was great. So thank you, Aaron, for the gift. Thank you, Dre. I am completely shocked that I had such a great time. But at the same time, it's like, I like again, I only play indie games.

[01:01:12] - [Speaker 1]
So maybe the bar is like can can be a little bit lower, but I I really appreciated both of them. They were awesome.

[01:01:19] - [Speaker 2]
Okay. I'm I'm I'm as surprised as you are. I'm I'm glad you enjoyed what is it? Phoenix Force?

[01:01:25] - [Speaker 1]
Yeah. Phoenix Force. Yeah. And the blackjack Russian roulette. I think that's what it's called.

[01:01:30] - [Speaker 1]
Short a short Russian blackjack game is the name of the game. Yes. And it's exactly what it what it sounds like. It's because the the title says it all.

[01:01:37] - [Speaker 3]
By Taha Studios. Did they make it for It's the the only game they've ever made. Cool.

[01:01:43] - [Speaker 2]
Okay.

[01:01:43] - [Speaker 3]
Hell yeah.

[01:01:44] - [Speaker 1]
They should do another one. I'd I'd play it.

[01:01:46] - [Speaker 2]
Russian roulette Blackjack two.

[01:01:48] - [Speaker 3]
Boss Baby.

[01:01:49] - [Speaker 2]
With poker. With Boss Baby.

[01:01:53] - [Speaker 3]
Aaron, you got you got one more in

[01:01:55] - [Speaker 0]
you. I got Blade Star gifted to me by Dre. K. And I don't know, man. It's it's boring as fuck.

[01:02:04] - [Speaker 0]
So it's just like it's a it's a vertical shmup if you wanna even call it that because there's nobody shooting at you, like, ever. It's just you shooting asteroids. And, like, the entire like, you you go through waves of just flying through space and collecting, like, plasma orbs, and you can shoot asteroids apart. And they'll drop, like, gun pickups. And there's this, like, voice in the background.

[01:02:31] - [Speaker 0]
Every time we pick up a gun, it'll be like they'd be like, blaster, cannon, you know, some stupid ship. Okay. And then in between waves of doing this, this, like, weird old man shows up on screen and he's like, oh my god. You don't know how much this means to me that you're collecting these plasma orbs for our colony. He's not seen exactly like that.

[01:02:52] - [Speaker 1]
It's like a narrative element. There's a there's a story.

[01:02:55] - [Speaker 0]
Yeah. It's just like this old man in like

[01:02:58] - [Speaker 3]
Is it is the old man like three d?

[01:03:01] - [Speaker 0]
Yeah. He's very

[01:03:01] - [Speaker 3]
three d.

[01:03:02] - [Speaker 0]
He's like

[01:03:02] - [Speaker 3]
Or is it just like a two d art thing?

[01:03:05] - [Speaker 0]
It's like, you know, how in Star Fox when they show the characters talking, shows them like in the cockpit, like their portrait in the cockpit? It's basically that. It's like this really bad three d model of an old man in what I assume is like his room or something. What's his name? I don't know.

[01:03:21] - [Speaker 0]
They never say his name. Old man. Yeah. And it's just like he's always like, thank you for collecting these plasma orbs. It means so much to our colony.

[01:03:29] - [Speaker 0]
Don't be We need these

[01:03:31] - [Speaker 3]
Don't be an asshole to him.

[01:03:32] - [Speaker 0]
He sounds

[01:03:32] - [Speaker 1]
on the right way.

[01:03:33] - [Speaker 0]
We need these plasma orbs to to power our colony.

[01:03:36] - [Speaker 3]
Sweet old man. He's just calling you up being like, I am so grateful that you were

[01:03:40] - [Speaker 2]
able to do it.

[01:03:41] - [Speaker 0]
Like, my family shit over and over every single time. Feel grateful at least. And that's that's the whole gameplay loop. Each wave, you just collect, like, nine plasma orbs. And then it's like, wave end.

[01:03:53] - [Speaker 0]
And then the sad old man comes back and was like, thank you fucking so much for getting these plasma orbs. Oh my god. I can't believe you got these force. I mean, so much. And then the entire time in the background, there's this like this one planet that you're, like, slowly going past.

[01:04:08] - [Speaker 2]
Like Oh, man.

[01:04:10] - [Speaker 0]
I don't know. I I must have played, like I played, like, nine waves and finally died because I just ran into an asteroid. I was like, I don't wanna play this anymore.

[01:04:18] - [Speaker 2]
I would have at least I would have at least taken, like, the generic, like, Galaxian or Galaga Starfield, right, over just like, here is the one planet that you you know? Man, that's so that sounds really boring.

[01:04:32] - [Speaker 0]
Yeah.

[01:04:32] - [Speaker 3]
This game looks like you know, I don't wanna dunk too heavy on a on a poor little indie studio, but Fairweather Studios, you could do a little better than this. Come on. Come on. You can you can try a little harder. It looks like one of those it it seems like though they have improved.

[01:04:54] - [Speaker 3]
Bladestar is their first game that they put out in 2016. They've since put out a game called Hyper Empire, which has positive reviews. Okay. So looks like they and you can grab a free demo of that. So, yeah, Fairweather when was it?

[01:05:08] - [Speaker 3]
Fairweather Studios? Yeah. Fairweather Studios. But this first game, guys, this looks like something you'd get on, like, one of those 100 games in one PC thing from, like, a Mario band at, like, a drugstore. Yep.

[01:05:22] - [Speaker 3]
That's what this looks like.

[01:05:23] - [Speaker 0]
Are they gonna cereal box or something?

as

[01:10:47] - [Speaker 3]
a kid and drinking Sunny D?

[01:10:49] - [Speaker 0]
You're running. Like, because it literally brews. To get the Sunny D. It's like, Sunny D. My beneath it.

[01:10:55] - [Speaker 0]
And you take it like, I need vitamin c. I'm gonna die with the vitamin c.

[01:10:59] - [Speaker 3]
And then your mom's like, okay, breathe, breathe, breathe. Then you just take it in. You ever like listen to a kid drink? Like, why do kids always need to drink when they're out of Aaron, you got small kids. You, you know, this is fucking true.

[01:11:12] - [Speaker 3]
Kids are always just like out of breath

[01:11:13] - [Speaker 0]
for no reason. They're like, I need a drink. And then you give them

[01:11:16] - [Speaker 3]
a drink and they're like, gasping for air and like trying to drink. You're like, dude,

[01:11:24] - [Speaker 0]
slow down. And then they get

[01:11:25] - [Speaker 3]
that little Sunnyvale like when they take it from their mouth. They're just full of energy, dude.

[01:11:31] - [Speaker 0]
Yeah. My little dude will come up and he'll slam some, like, water or Gatorade or something, and he'll just be like, boop. Then he'll have, like, that ring around his mouth because he's, like, sucking the bottle against his face. It's like,

[01:11:39] - [Speaker 2]
slow down the child.

[01:11:43] - [Speaker 0]
The process is not complete,

[01:11:44] - [Speaker 3]
though, until you give them, like, fucking canned ravioli and they get, like, the fucking ravioli. There's a kid that we oh god. Now I'm really going back. There was a kid that would used to have fucking beefaroni every goddamn day in grade five. And

[01:11:59] - [Speaker 2]
we used to,

[01:12:00] - [Speaker 3]
we used to call him beefaroni and he used to be

[01:12:02] - [Speaker 2]
like, shoot the fuck up.

[01:12:03] - [Speaker 3]
And he was like kind of a big dude. He was kind of like, he's, you know what? Fuck that guy. He was kind of an asshole. He ended up being kind of a bully.

[01:12:09] - [Speaker 3]
But like, I always remember just being like, man, fuck beef foroni. And, like, he had, like, fucking beef foroni stains in his mouth all day. And, like, he tried to act so fucking cool. He'd be, like, in fucking some class being like, oh, yeah. Trying to act cool.

[01:12:26] - [Speaker 2]
day with the beefaroni?

[01:12:28] - [Speaker 3]

[01:12:36] - [Speaker 0]
Dude, when I was a telemarketer, okay, this dude would always well, not always, like every, like, couple of days throughout the week, he would be in the break room eating like a, like a can of ravioli. So I told you it was right next door to a fucking dollar general. Dude, snake them. You wouldn't even use a fork. You'd snake them out of the can with his fingers, Snake the ravioli out of the can with his fingers and eat them and, like, slurp them up like a fucking

[01:15:35] - [Speaker 1]
It does look

[01:15:36] - [Speaker 3]
good. Those were a, like, a childhood. And, honestly, in my teens when I discovered weed and I would come home super high, I would go to my basement, I'd take a can of these, and I would literally eat out of the fucking can, like, with a spoon. I see. I was a god I may as well have lived in Maine because I was a fucking maniac.

[01:16:00] - [Speaker 2]
I have never I have never eaten chef Boyardee, like ravioli or beef or any anything out of the can. I always I have to heat it up. Aaron see, Aaron's with me. Right? Like, you've got it.

[01:16:09] - [Speaker 0]
It's like You don't have to.

[01:16:11] - [Speaker 3]
That's a true

[01:16:11] - [Speaker 2]
I mean, okay. But, like, I'm not I'm not doing it. I I just can't.

[01:16:16] - [Speaker 3]
You can.

[01:16:17] - [Speaker 2]
You should.

[01:16:18] - [Speaker 1]
I like this I like the dinti Moore beef stew. That was my shit when I was in the kitchen.

[01:16:22] - [Speaker 2]
That was good shit. That was good shit.

[01:16:24] - [Speaker 3]
That I don't know what the fuck that is. Oh, wow.

[01:16:27] - [Speaker 0]
I wonder I wonder if there's a maniac out there that eats condensed soup out of the can. I hope there's a maniac

[01:16:33] - [Speaker 1]
Oh, definitely. I feel like I know three guys off the top of

[01:16:36] - [Speaker 2]
my head. Have done that before and I have regretted it. I have done it It's

[01:16:41] - [Speaker 1]
just like more flavorful.

[01:16:43] - [Speaker 3]
I have a friend that would only make Kraft dinner with that condensed milk.

[01:16:46] - [Speaker 4]
Oh, wow.

[01:16:49] - [Speaker 3]
And I gotta tell you

[01:16:50] - [Speaker 1]
Pretty good.

[01:16:51] - [Speaker 0]
Pretty thick. Pretty good. Yeah. It's pretty thick. It's like a glue.

[01:16:55] - [Speaker 0]
Here's the

[01:16:55] - [Speaker 3]
thing too. Fuck fuck the the the earlier guest question. The real question that I always wonder when I meet people, how do you make your Kraft dinner?

[01:17:04] - [Speaker 2]
I just I just I make it like the box says. I don't know.

[01:17:08] - [Speaker 1]
Butter. More butter. Man. Less liquid, more butter.

[01:17:11] - [Speaker 3]
There we go. Yeah. There we go.

[01:17:13] - [Speaker 2]
Okay.

[01:17:13] - [Speaker 3]
You gotta you gotta think. Literally outside the

[01:17:16] - [Speaker 0]
box, man.

[01:17:17] - [Speaker 2]
I'm very I'm such a shitty cook. I'm afraid to go off script for anything. Whatever the direction say or whatever the recipe says, I'm doing exactly that. So try I'll fuck it up.

[01:17:27] - [Speaker 3]
Try Kate's way. Kate, what was it again? That you

[01:17:29] - [Speaker 1]
Butter mostly butter, less liquid. But you kinda gotta feel it. It's like a vibe. It's like

[01:17:34] - [Speaker 3]
It is. And that's

[01:17:34] - [Speaker 1]
It's like depends on, like, the lighting. It depends on how you're feeling. Don't you mean the poor It depends on what you ate last. So if you haven't eaten anything all day, you wanna get you wanna go extra on the butter.

[01:17:45] - [Speaker 0]
Okay.

[01:17:46] - [Speaker 1]
Very low liquid. So

[01:17:47] - [Speaker 3]
Okay. I'm talking like three healthy fucking Just fucking scoops. Like, bam bam bam pure fucking butter

[01:17:58] - [Speaker 1]
in that pepper. Some some cracked black pepper.

[01:18:02] - [Speaker 2]

[01:21:11] - [Speaker 3]
I think my brain was, like, short circuiting because I was like, I hate what he's saying, but I like it. I feel like one of those, like, self indulgent things where it's like, I really hate this that he's saying it this way, but, like, I want him to keep saying it.

[01:21:23] - [Speaker 0]
I really want

[01:21:23] - [Speaker 2]
him I kinda hated it myself too. That's why I kinda was, like, feeling it out. Okay. You know? But, like, I I don't know.

[01:21:30] - [Speaker 2]
I didn't really have I I felt like I had a character there, but I didn't really have anything to go with it.

[01:21:35] - [Speaker 3]
You would be that guy that would just, like, bust in on a scene, on a sitcom and just be like, okay. And you just, like, do a little catchphrase?

[01:21:43] - [Speaker 2]
Yeah. That's my that's my catchphrase. Like, did I do that or whatever? But I have

[01:21:47] - [Speaker 0]
full seconds of, like, uninterrupted clapping and cheering before you, like, bust over roses out of a shit. Yep. Yep. Because for Just for fucking busting through the fucking door of a set and,

[01:21:59] - [Speaker 3]
like, doing, like, a Kramer

[01:22:00] - [Speaker 2]
or something. Like Yeah. Like, when I

[01:22:02] - [Speaker 0]
even part of the cast. She's not even, like Like, when

[01:22:04] - [Speaker 2]
a cheers like, when a like, when a cheers character would show up on Frasier and they just get, like, hello applause. You know, that could be me. Yeah. That could be me.

[01:22:11] - [Speaker 1]
Always Lilith. Yeah.

[01:22:11] - [Speaker 2]
Oh, yeah. Always.

[01:22:12] - [Speaker 3]
Always. Yep. Standing there like

[01:22:15] - [Speaker 1]
Yep. Looking at the camera.

[01:22:16] - [Speaker 0]
Yeah. Look at and then it's just like

[01:22:18] - [Speaker 3]
Just like people are losing their taking their

[01:22:20] - [Speaker 0]
shirts off and shit in the audience. Oh my

[01:22:24] - [Speaker 1]
god. I love Frazier. Mhmm.

[01:22:26] - [Speaker 0]
Yep. That that reboot wasn't so hot, though.

[01:22:28] - [Speaker 1]
Oh, it was so bad.

[01:22:29] - [Speaker 2]
Yeah. I know. Was unfortunate. Not watch. I did not watch.

[01:22:32] - [Speaker 0]
I don't know who's like and I I just see the thing the other day.

[01:22:38] - [Speaker 3]
How, like, they approached Ray Romano. Were like, you should do a reboot. He was like, no. Mm-mm. No.

[01:22:44] - [Speaker 3]
I wanna I'm

[01:22:45] - [Speaker 2]
not do that. I don't wanna know what those kids look like now. I don't even wanna come on.

[01:22:51] - [Speaker 0]
It's weird.

[01:22:52] - [Speaker 3]
I also started like, I don't know why Ray Romano started becoming, like, in my feet, but, like, it was like Ray Romano says no to, like, a reboot.

[01:23:01] - [Speaker 0]
And then it was like, say something about how, like, Ray Romano was tortured about the name of that show for years. Mhmm. He, like, hated the name of the show because he's like

[01:23:13] - [Speaker 1]
Everybody loves

[01:23:13] - [Speaker 3]
Raymond. Doesn't like me. Like Especially since, like, the first

[01:23:18] - [Speaker 0]
Well, yeah. Well, especially

[01:23:19] - [Speaker 2]
since the first year and a half, like, it didn't really get good ratings. So, like, it was just kinda like, you know, it took a while for it to catch on, but, like, CBS stuck with it. It became, like, a success. So, like, at first, was like, everybody loves Raymond. It's, you know, sixty third on the Nielsen chart or whatever.

[01:23:33] - [Speaker 2]
You know? It's just like, okay.

[01:23:34] - [Speaker 3]
I recently went down, like, a weird nostalgic rabbit hole where I was like, man, I think I have a weird new kink of, like, finding old canceled sitcoms from, like, the February that, like, had, like, maybe a three season run or, like, a two season run, but, like, there was pretty solid like, dude, do you remember Titus?

[01:23:56] - [Speaker 0]
Yeah. No. I remember that.

[01:23:58] - [Speaker 3]
I do. Titus was good. I had, like, fucking Stacy Keetch and shit on it. Yeah. Yeah.

[01:24:05] - [Speaker 3]
But, like, weird shit like that. I just I love throwing that shit on and just, like, falling asleep to it.

[01:24:09] - [Speaker 0]
Dude, like, like, lost media kind of. I love learning about, like

[01:24:13] - [Speaker 2]
Well, because, like, that's a thing. Because, like, growing up, there was a lot of stuff from the eighties and nineties that, like you know how it was with the networks back then? You had, like, a six episode run, and if you weren't getting ratings, that is it. Sometimes they cut you in, like, four or five, and you'd never see that show again. You'd forget about it.

[01:24:29] - [Speaker 2]
I bet there's so many things that I've watched in my life growing up that it's just like I watched for, like, three weeks and then it was gone. And, like, it's never to be seen again. Like, you would have to go back to, like, TV guides from the eighties and nineties and find out what was on to even remember those shows. You know? Like

[01:24:45] - [Speaker 3]
do the shit too with, like, kids shows that, like, are so foggy in my memory that I'm like, how did I remember this? Like, looked up like foodons.

[01:24:55] - [Speaker 1]
Cat dog?

[01:24:56] - [Speaker 2]
Cat dog. Yep. I mean, I was like dog.

[01:24:59] - [Speaker 3]
I think I was, like, 10 when that came up. But, like, I remember, like, the Smoggies. I don't know if you remember

[01:25:04] - [Speaker 2]
the Smoggies. Know what that is. I don't think I've ever seen it.

[01:25:08] - [Speaker 3]
Oh, strange. Like, there's so many just weird ass like, there was a Mega Man cartoon. Dude, the Beetlejuice cartoon. Remember the Beetlejuice.

[01:25:16] - [Speaker 2]
I didn't watch Beetlejuice.

[01:25:17] - [Speaker 3]
Beetlejuice. Beetlejuice.

[01:25:19] - [Speaker 0]
Tim Burton music. Yep.

[01:25:20] - [Speaker 1]
I think we should bring back TV Guide, though. Those were cool. TV Guide was great.

[01:25:24] - [Speaker 3]
He would have great. God. How did we get here? Man, I

[01:25:37] - [Speaker 2]
don't know.

[01:25:37] - [Speaker 3]
I don't know. Oh, should we

[01:25:39] - [Speaker 2]
recommend the game to everybody?

[01:25:40] - [Speaker 0]
Let's take let's take it out.

[01:25:42] - [Speaker 3]
Aaron, let's let's wrap it up, baby. Random recommended games. That's the saddest part of the episode.

[01:25:51] - [Speaker 2]
That's fellas and

[01:25:53] - [Speaker 1]
I'm gonna miss you guys, like, for real.

[01:25:55] - [Speaker 0]
Thanks for staying too.

[01:25:56] - [Speaker 2]
Thanks for staying up with us. You're

[01:25:58] - [Speaker 1]
welcome. I'll see in the group chat. We'll talk about olives. We won't kick Jerry out.

[01:26:02] - [Speaker 3]
I'm gonna show you the olives

[01:26:03] - [Speaker 2]
I get, like, every couple weeks when I when

[01:26:05] - [Speaker 1]
I make

[01:26:06] - [Speaker 3]
a video. Like a mac and cheese cook off, like, video.

[01:26:08] - [Speaker 0]
Oh, hell yeah. Hell my god. And

[01:26:11] - [Speaker 3]
then just start breaking it up to strangers and be like, eat this. Don't ask questions and tell me how good it is. On a

[01:26:16] - [Speaker 1]
scale from

[01:26:17] - [Speaker 3]
one to 10.

[01:26:18] - [Speaker 0]
On a scale from real to fake cheese. But,

[01:26:24] - [Speaker 3]
yeah, this is the saddest part of the episode. This is where we gotta say goodbye, and we wrap things up. However, it's also the most generous part of the episode. We give back. We give back to the listeners.

[01:26:34] - [Speaker 3]
We recommend some games. And, of course, we got some guests here. Guys and girls, please tell us what should we be playing right now.

[01:26:44] - [Speaker 2]
What I've been playing right now?

[01:26:46] - [Speaker 3]
No. No. No. Recommend.

[01:26:48] - [Speaker 2]
Oh, recommend. Okay.

[01:26:49] - [Speaker 3]
Give me your random recommended game now.

[01:26:52] - [Speaker 2]
Because I've been playing Dragon Ball Sparking Zero, and I recommend that game to absolutely nobody. So do do not buy that. I'll be talking about that on the next Flying Time big deal.

[01:27:02] - [Speaker 3]
I've heard about it.

[01:27:03] - [Speaker 2]
Yeah. Oh, it's it's it's trash, and I love it. That's that's my take because I love Dragon Ball, but it trash. Anyway, that's not what I'm recommending. What I wanna recommend everybody play is Dynasty Warriors Origins because Jesus Christ

[01:27:18] - [Speaker 3]
I think I have. I'm a

[01:27:19] - [Speaker 2]
Warriors freak. Okay? I always have been since the since the get go. Okay? I love Warriors games.

[01:27:25] - [Speaker 2]
I'll play anything if it's a Warriors games. I'm playing I'm playing Fire Emblem Warriors three hopes right now, as I said before, because it runs 60 on Switch all of a sudden. I Switch two rather. I'm playing it. Right?

[01:27:36] - [Speaker 2]
Love the Berserk one. I'll even play the Attack on Titan one once it gets cheap enough for

[01:27:40] - [Speaker 0]
a while.

[01:27:41] - [Speaker 3]
Berserk one, and I'm a massive Berserk fan.

[01:27:43] - [Speaker 2]
It's crazy good. It's incredible. Really? So good. Yes.

[01:27:47] - [Speaker 2]
It's really good. Fuck. I promise. It's fucking excellent. And if and again, if you have a PS five or something, definitely because on PS four, it ran like ass.

[01:27:55] - [Speaker 2]
So, like, definitely Well, I get it on yeah.

[01:27:57] - [Speaker 3]
I think it's on PC.

[01:27:58] - [Speaker 2]
Oh, good. Even better. Even better. Yeah. Diocese Warriors Origins does the rare thing of, like, it's not a reboot per se, but it's definitely a bit of a resetting to get new people into it because it could be kind of impenetrable and kind of intimidating.

[01:28:13] - [Speaker 2]
I understand that. This is a game for you. So but it's also really good because it also satisfies veterans like me who've been playing all of these. Right? And that's all that's a very hard thing to do is get is make a kind of quote unquote beginner game that also satisfy satisfies, like, the core audience, and it does both.

[01:28:32] - [Speaker 2]
And it's so cool, and it looks amazing. Hope you have good hardware or a PS five or something like that because Jesus Christ, it's it's it's not just, like, rebooting, quote, unquote. It's also one of the best Warriors games I've played in the last, I would say, in the twenty twenties. Let's just put it that way.

[01:28:50] - [Speaker 3]
Is it accessible to someone that's not so into these kinds of because I know this is a very like, the Musou games are very like, they're that type of game.

[01:29:01] - [Speaker 0]
Mhmm.

[01:29:02] - [Speaker 3]
I enjoy them, but I've never fully played one. Like, I

[01:29:06] - [Speaker 0]
I always just throw them on. I'm like,

[01:29:08] - [Speaker 3]
oh, this is fun killing millions of dudes at one time, but, like, it usually wears off pretty quickly. And I'm like, okay. Cool. That that was fine. And I move on.

[01:29:15] - [Speaker 3]
But, like, that's the thing. Like, is it accessible for people that aren't as into these games? Would it be a good gateway game?

[01:29:22] - [Speaker 2]
Yes. I think it's a perfect gateway game. I think it's the best gateway game since maybe ever. Maybe since, like, the first one's on PS two or something. Honestly, I think this is like I think they realized that's what they needed to do, especially since Dynasty Warriors nine was booty butt cheeks.

[01:29:38] - [Speaker 2]
That game sucks so much. So, like, I think they I think they realized, okay. We need to take some years step away from that and not just do Dynasty Warriors 10. Let's just kind of do something else. And if this becomes a new normal, that's fine.

[01:29:52] - [Speaker 0]
I can't

[01:29:52] - [Speaker 2]
believe it's too much. I'm okay

[01:29:54] - [Speaker 0]
with it.

[01:29:55] - [Speaker 2]
That's crazy. Yeah. That's I've been playing them for fucking ever. It's what it's what I did when like, in the early two thousands when I all I had was, like, a GameCube and a PS two. I just moved to Nevada.

[01:30:07] - [Speaker 2]
I had no fucking money, barely paying rent. So I'm like, I couldn't even really buy any video games barely. So I'm like, I went to Game Crazy. No one remember Game Crazy? I went to though I went to there every so often, found anything on the $10 7 to $10 rack, and they always had Dynasty Warriors games on it.

[01:30:23] - [Speaker 2]
And that's literally how I got into them because they were cheap and I was poor. So, like, I it's it's really how it started, and then it became a thing over time where now I pay $70 for them gladly. So yeah. But it's been out for some time. Maybe I don't know what the price is now if it's on sale or whatever, but it's definitely worth the full last price, at least I think so.

[01:30:43] - [Speaker 2]
And, Jerry, like you said, yes, it is it's not nearly as impenetrable as it was before, but still very meaty. So definitely I Icy Warriors

[01:30:52] - [Speaker 3]
are legit. Played that's been even remotely close to that would be like Drakengard.

[01:30:57] - [Speaker 2]
Drakengard is good. Drakengard was interesting. It was so

[01:31:00] - [Speaker 3]
that it has, like, Musou vibes

[01:31:02] - [Speaker 0]
Yes. But

[01:31:02] - [Speaker 3]
it's also kind of, like, doing its own thing.

[01:31:04] - [Speaker 0]
Mhmm. That weird fucking story.

[01:31:07] - [Speaker 3]
String oh. That's what Nier is based on.

[01:31:10] - [Speaker 2]
Yeah. Drakengard is, like, the, like, the first in that universe. Right? So, like, I've I've never really lived in Nier.

[01:31:16] - [Speaker 3]
Something to do with Drakengard. I think it's three. The one one of the endings of Drakengard three is like bad ending.

[01:31:22] - [Speaker 0]
The bad ending is three.

[01:31:24] - [Speaker 3]
The it's the whole thing that all of Near is based on, which is like so wild.

[01:31:28] - [Speaker 2]
Yeah. But, yeah, Dice of Warriors Origins, great great stuff. Maybe my favorite game of the year so far. Maybe. Wow.

[01:31:37] - [Speaker 2]
Damn.

[01:31:38] - [Speaker 0]
Loved it.

[01:31:38] - [Speaker 3]
Good shit. Thank you for the recommendation. Kate.

[01:31:43] - [Speaker 1]
Well, I've been playing we were just talking about TV, I'm gonna talk about a game I just played called The Crush House, which is a little indie game where you are in charge of casting a reality TV show and it can get canceled. So that's kinda like the gameplay loop. Like, you and it's really hot. Like it there's hotties. There's flirting, there's kissing, there's crushes.

[01:32:07] - [Speaker 3]
And hell yeah,

[01:32:07] - [Speaker 1]
but I actually, to be honest, don't really recommend the game. I actually gave it a pretty bad review. I think it has a lot of potential, but, that's just what I've been playing lately. But what I would actually like to recommend I do think it's interesting though, like interesting concept reality TV show video game. But I've been playing Desvelado, which is a precision platformer where you play as a little bat cat.

[01:32:30] - [Speaker 1]
Bat cat? I don't know yet. I haven't beaten the But game it's such a vibe. It's really smooth. Been playing it on Steam Deck.

[01:32:37] - [Speaker 1]
And I love precision platformers. So yeah, Des Vilado is my real recommendation. But if you want to try something freaky, that's not really good, then try the Crush House.

[01:32:48] - [Speaker 0]
Oh, this art style on Des Vilado is so cool. Just like It's

[01:32:53] - [Speaker 1]
a great game.

[01:32:54] - [Speaker 0]
Like an almost hand drawn type of feel to it.

[01:32:57] - [Speaker 1]
Yeah. And it's very simple, but it's executed really, really well. That's cool. Yeah. It's a great platformer.

[01:33:05] - [Speaker 2]
The Kush How sounds like something we play on fine time. We love to play games where you like, we had a ball playing boyfriend dungeon. You guys

[01:33:11] - [Speaker 1]
just go through

[01:33:12] - [Speaker 0]
that. Yeah. We had

[01:33:13] - [Speaker 2]
ball because there of course, the whole three story is like, hey. Who was your boyfriend? Or who was you know, it's it's obviously being silly. But then we've, like, really loved the game. We actually really, really liked it.

[01:33:22] - [Speaker 2]
So yeah.

[01:33:23] - [Speaker 0]
There's that new one, date everything. Oh, yeah. That's on my list.

[01:33:27] - [Speaker 1]
That's on my list. Yeah.

[01:33:29] - [Speaker 3]
Kate, I I would highly my recommendation is not this, but I have one specifically for you.

[01:33:35] - [Speaker 1]
I'm I'm listening.

[01:33:36] - [Speaker 3]
So we're gonna check some boxes. Indie, platformer, not too tough, but pretty challenging.

[01:33:44] - [Speaker 0]
Speak to Berserk Boy.

[01:33:47] - [Speaker 1]
Oh, I've actually watched a couple playthroughs of Berserk Boy and I would love to give it Like, a

[01:33:53] - [Speaker 3]
when I picked that game up, because it was on sale and when I got my my Switch two, I was like, alright, let's just check out what's on sale. And I was like, oh my god. There's so many things on sale.

[01:34:03] - [Speaker 2]
And like, yeah, I could get it

[01:34:05] - [Speaker 3]
on my PC and run all this shit and probably get it even for maybe a few bucks cheaper. But like, I don't know. There's something about like I just all of a sudden was like, I want everything on my Switch two now. Like, I just want everything here. Damn right.

[01:34:16] - [Speaker 3]
So I picked up Berserk Boy. It was on sale. And I was expecting, like, Mega Man, like a Mega Man clone. It's so not.

[01:34:25] - [Speaker 1]
Because boy, it got boy in the title.

[01:34:27] - [Speaker 3]
It is not Mega Man. It's one of those games that, like, the fluidity of the of how you move is so fucking crazy once it clicks. Like, once you're clicked in and locked into that game, you're just fucking crazy through the levels. And, like, it just has a crazy flow to it and an amazing, amazing pixel art style.

[01:34:51] - [Speaker 1]
I could be wrong. I feel like I heard this a while ago. I don't know if the news is still true, but the developers of Berserk Boy are making an idol game in the same style of Berserk Boy. Oh, Where it's like that a Rusty's retirement type of deal, but Berserk Boy. So I gotta make sure that's true.

[01:35:07] - [Speaker 1]
But I feel like it is.

[01:35:08] - [Speaker 0]
That's cool. I would

[01:35:09] - [Speaker 2]
like that to be true. Damn.

[01:35:11] - [Speaker 1]
Yeah. I could have made it up in my dreams, but I think that I read it on Twitter sometime. But I really do wanna play that, so I will take your recommendation to heart.

[01:35:20] - [Speaker 3]
Yep. It's a

[01:35:20] - [Speaker 1]
great game. Too. Great music in that game.

[01:35:22] - [Speaker 3]
Oh, yeah. Fantastic. My real game that I need to recommend, though.

[01:35:30] - [Speaker 0]
Me too.

[01:35:34] - [Speaker 3]
So it's not what Aaron said, even though Aaron and I have been playing something that we're gonna talk about

[01:35:40] - [Speaker 0]
in a second.

[01:35:41] - [Speaker 3]
That's yours. I'll let you have yours.

[01:35:42] - [Speaker 0]
I put it down for both of us.

[01:35:44] - [Speaker 3]
Well, it's yours.

[01:35:46] - [Speaker 0]
I think

[01:35:46] - [Speaker 2]
it's yours now.

[01:35:48] - [Speaker 3]
Faith. All caps. Faith. This game is a horror game. It looks like an Atari game, and I had the absolute shit scared out of me by this game.

[01:36:01] - [Speaker 3]
I just about leapt out of my fucking skin playing this game a few times because scary. Oh. It it it tricks you by being like, yeah.

[01:36:12] - [Speaker 2]
Look at these stupid little blocks

[01:36:14] - [Speaker 3]
and stuff. And then they put in, like, these fucking motion captured fucking, I don't know how to explain it. It's like motion captured pixel art and the most disturbing graphic shit you're ever gonna see.

[01:36:30] - [Speaker 2]
It's the unholy trinity?

[01:36:33] - [Speaker 3]
Yes. So it's weird. Like, I feel like this developer probably made, like, faith part one as, like, a you know, like those indie game things where, like, they they have, like, almost like a challenge where it's, make a game jam or whatever. Yeah, the game jam. I feel like this was probably part of one of those because the first part of faith is pretty it sets up the rest of it.

[01:36:58] - [Speaker 3]
And then part two is like, okay, you're familiar with, like, what I just experienced from part one, and it kinda carries on, like, the story and stuff. But then when you hit part two, it's like, okay. This is like this is what or part three, I mean, that's when you're really settling in and going, oh, I I am picking up what these guys are laying down now. Like, this is it it kind of acts like a Silent Hill sort of, like, meets Exorcist kind of thing going on. Like, it's hard to explain.

[01:37:33] - [Speaker 3]
It grabbed me. Like, it it is

[01:37:37] - [Speaker 0]
it

[01:37:37] - [Speaker 3]
is something else. It is an experience.

[01:37:39] - [Speaker 2]
It is $5 on Steam right now. I'm buying it right now.

[01:37:42] - [Speaker 1]
Yeah. It's a good price right now.

[01:37:44] - [Speaker 0]
You

[01:37:44] - [Speaker 3]
will not be disappointed.

[01:37:45] - [Speaker 2]
Oh, the summer sale just started. That's

[01:37:47] - [Speaker 1]
why. I'm kinda scared. I'm kinda scared because I'm in my office alone, so I don't wanna be scared. But Yeah.

[01:37:52] - [Speaker 2]
I I just bought it.

[01:37:54] - [Speaker 0]
Stream it. We'll be Stream there with

[01:37:56] - [Speaker 1]
it.

[01:37:57] - [Speaker 3]
Yeah, it's a it's a fantastic game.

[01:38:01] - [Speaker 1]
It looks great. Looks

[01:38:02] - [Speaker 3]
like It great is. It's I really, really highly recommend this game. Cool. Aaron, what have we been playing dude?

[01:38:12] - [Speaker 2]
Tell him. Oh, man.

[01:38:14] - [Speaker 0]
I I almost wanna go against whatever I jotted down and and go about a different game. But

[01:38:19] - [Speaker 3]
You better not.

[01:38:21] - [Speaker 0]
Fine. I won't. Jerry and I have been trying to find a good, like, online co op game on Switch two. And apparently, there isn't like there isn't shit, really. We Ibnb.

[01:38:36] - [Speaker 0]
Yeah. We saw that on the e shop. We tried Morpheus law.

[01:38:41] - [Speaker 2]
Remember Morpheus law?

[01:38:43] - [Speaker 0]
That game. Yeah. Where people get smaller and bigger and shit.

[01:38:45] - [Speaker 2]
Yeah. You shoot them and they get bigger. But if you shoot them down, they get smaller. Maybe you grow as you shoot them. It's really fucking weird.

[01:38:51] - [Speaker 2]
Yeah.

[01:38:51] - [Speaker 3]
Isn't box boy and box girl a co op thing too?

[01:38:55] - [Speaker 0]
Yeah. That's that's all in co op as well.

[01:38:57] - [Speaker 3]
Is it online co

[01:38:58] - [Speaker 0]
op? Yeah.

[01:38:59] - [Speaker 3]
Because that was the that was the issue. We couldn't find it. I don't know if it is, dude. Because we couldn't find like, we sorted the fucking store to be like, show us everything that has online co op and not just like a co op mode. Like, we wanted to play something in co op.

[01:39:15] - [Speaker 0]
Yeah.

[01:39:15] - [Speaker 3]
And like, yeah, there's the obvious, like, split fiction, which is incredible. There's also It Takes Two. Yeah. These are the obvious ones. But, like, when I seen that this game was on sale, and I had I had put it in my Steam wish list a long fucking time ago.

[01:39:35] - [Speaker 3]
And what I ended up doing is I put I literally sat down one day and put all the games in my Steam wish list on my Switch wish

[01:39:41] - [Speaker 0]
Switch list.

[01:39:44] - [Speaker 3]
Switch wish list. And this game popped up and I was like, oh, this is this is online co op. Oh, it's a rogue like. Oh, it's a Zelda like. And I'm like, oh, Aaron, I think we should probably buy this.

[01:39:58] - [Speaker 3]
It's like $4.

[01:40:00] - [Speaker 0]
Then at first, I was like, no. Let's play Dragon Mark for Death. Goddamn it. Let's play that instead.

[01:40:04] - [Speaker 2]
I love Dragon Mark for Death. That shit's so cool.

[01:40:08] - [Speaker 0]
Yeah. That I

[01:40:08] - [Speaker 2]
love that game.

[01:40:09] - [Speaker 3]
I'm not saying that that game's not good.

[01:40:11] - [Speaker 1]
Wait. What is this game called? The one that we're speaking of now?

[01:40:13] - [Speaker 0]
Rogue Heroes.

[01:40:15] - [Speaker 1]
Okay.

[01:40:16] - [Speaker 0]
And it's like Do

[01:40:18] - [Speaker 3]
you have a Switch one?

[01:40:20] - [Speaker 1]
Yeah.

[01:40:21] - [Speaker 3]
You could buy this game and play this with us.

[01:40:24] - [Speaker 0]
Yeah. If you won't play Castle Crashers with us, play Rogue Heroes with us.

[01:40:28] - [Speaker 1]
Oh, dude. I played Castle Crashers for the first time at PAX East recently. It was awesome.

[01:40:32] - [Speaker 3]
Nice. It is awesome. And But yeah. Aaron, tell them. Yeah.

[01:40:37] - [Speaker 3]
Tell tell the world how good this fucking game is.

[01:40:40] - [Speaker 0]
It's it blew my fucking mind. Like, any expectations I had for it were fucking destroyed, man. It's like a like a top like, basically, SNES, Zelda, but, like, roguelike. It's just, like, Link to the Past, roguelike. There and you can change classes too.

[01:40:57] - [Speaker 0]
Like, you start off with just like a hero, but you can get like an archer. The witch is what I play as. There's like a knight. There's a druid. There's a bomber.

[01:41:04] - [Speaker 0]
There's all sorts of cool classes. And you'll go through dungeons and kill enemies and collect gems and money. And there's this, like, hub town that you'll slowly build up from nothing. And with each building you unlock, you'll gain you'll gain the ability to upgrade your max stamina. There's a blacksmith upgrade, like your your sword and your attack.

[01:41:27] - [Speaker 0]
There's like a let's see the one that's like a chapel where you can upgrade the abilities that you get for each of your classes and shit. There's just so much shit that you can do all the time, like, between runs. Just go back to the hub town, upgrade some shit, run right back to the dungeon, and go for for another run. And just like any game that has that kind of, like, persistent progression, Yeah. That's that's one

[01:41:51] - [Speaker 3]
thing that, like, hooks me with very specific types of roguelikes. I really have started to like roguelikes, but I've noticed that there's one thing one thing every single time that they have to have or else I will not enjoy them as much, and that is solid progression and, like, some sort of, like, unlockable shortcut, like the way that Spelunky does it where, like, you know, you get so far, you can you can figure out ways to unlock shortcuts to get further in the game without having to do a full ass run. So that that way you can learn the different levels or biomes and shit so that you can get better at them so you can do your full run. And that's And

[01:42:29] - [Speaker 0]
that's another thing too. Yeah. Like the world, you can go like anywhere, but it's gated off. It's got like gated progression kinda like like a Metroid or Castlevania. I know I know Dre hates that word.

[01:42:41] - [Speaker 0]
He knows

[01:42:42] - [Speaker 2]
I was I I am a guest. You can say whatever you want on your your show. I will I will shit on you if you say it on fine time.

[01:42:48] - [Speaker 3]
What is that? What word is that? Metroidvania?

[01:42:51] - [Speaker 0]
Yeah. He hates that word. I hate it.

[01:42:53] - [Speaker 2]
I literally did an entire solo episode about how I hate that word. That's how much I hate

[01:42:57] - [Speaker 3]
that word. It is is definitely not a Metroidvania.

[01:43:00] - [Speaker 0]
It's it's got that little gated progression, though.

[01:43:03] - [Speaker 3]
Like, gated some parts of the world. Too. Like, Zelda was always like that as well. But even the overworld too, like, that second part that we did in the in the marsh?

[01:43:14] - [Speaker 0]
Yeah, dude.

[01:43:15] - [Speaker 3]
Fucked. You were dead for half

[01:43:16] - [Speaker 0]
of that.

[01:43:17] - [Speaker 1]
Yeah. It is Looks pretty, guys.

[01:43:19] - [Speaker 0]
It is. Thanks.

[01:43:22] - [Speaker 3]
It does look pretty. It looks pretty. It's it's actually an incredible game for the price point. Even I would pay full price for this game. No problem.

[01:43:34] - [Speaker 1]
I'll get it. You sold me. I'll get on the Switch when I see my Switch next tomorrow.

[01:43:38] - [Speaker 0]
And also get get that get that faith game.

[01:43:41] - [Speaker 3]
That's you

[01:43:41] - [Speaker 2]
know, I got it.

[01:43:43] - [Speaker 1]
That's gonna be Steam Deck tonight.

[01:43:46] - [Speaker 2]
I bought that shit.

[01:43:47] - [Speaker 0]
You know what? The other game I wasn't gonna talk about, I'm just gonna throw it out

[01:43:50] - [Speaker 3]
here just like fucking just

[01:43:52] - [Speaker 0]
the Flash. I can do it. This one's for you, Trey. Sheeran the wanderer, Tower Of Fate, Dice Of Fortune, or whatever. I forget the whole

[01:44:00] - [Speaker 2]
name because it's long fuck. Five. Yeah.

[01:44:03] - [Speaker 0]
Yeah. Dude, it's so fucking good. So roguelike, like a mystery well, it pretty much is mystery dungeon. Yeah, you're just going through the map Yeah. And you're blasting enemies and oh

[01:44:13] - [Speaker 3]
my god. It's so fucking

[01:44:14] - [Speaker 2]
For for those who don't know, Sheeran the Wanderer is basically the original mystery dungeon series. Like, the very first one was that Torneco game, like the Dragon Quest four spin off. But, like, after that, they started doing their own thing. And, like, Shiren the Wanderer is, like, the old school ass, like, mystery dungeon type of shit, and it is not it is not fucking with you. No.

[01:44:34] - [Speaker 2]
It is not. It is it is a lot of fun, but it is it is not playing around, baby. It's so much fun, though.

[01:44:41] - [Speaker 0]
It's awesome. Yeah. Like, are so many times where I would have to I'd have to stop fucking around and, like, stop stop, like because you can hold b or whatever to run. And I'd stop doing that and, like, think and calculate my moves because, like, it's it's all it's like it's turn based on a grid and you can move in in eight directions or whatever. I think it's eight directions.

[01:45:02] - [Speaker 3]
But, yeah, it's just a lot

[01:45:04] - [Speaker 0]
of critical thinking, a lot lot of death, a lot of getting pissed off, and then doing another run. It's really fucking good. I like it.

[01:45:13] - [Speaker 2]
It's so it's just it's so primo. I can't wait too for you to get Sheer Insects. I think it's even better.

[01:45:20] - [Speaker 3]
Is that the new one? Yeah.

[01:45:22] - [Speaker 2]
The newest one. Yeah. That would came out, like, about a year ago. I can't remember the subtitle now because they're always weird side of titles. I always refer to them by a number.

[01:45:28] - [Speaker 2]
But whatever the latest one is on my list. Choice shit.

[01:45:33] - [Speaker 3]
Hell, yeah. There you called the eighth one Ed. Ed. Yes. Ed.
