Speaker 1: What is the definition of an unk game?
Speaker 2: Uh, I don't know.
Speaker 3: It's probably like an old guy's name or any game the.
Speaker 1: Okay, see, I don't like that. I don't know. I
Speaker 1: don't like that.
Speaker 4: But I think I think you're on too. I think
Speaker 4: you're on to it. I don't understand. I don't understand
Speaker 4: that UK unk an unk game.
Speaker 5: So is this something that players are labeling games? This
Speaker 5: isn't like a section at game stop.
Speaker 1: No, no, no, this is what this is what? Yes?
Speaker 4: No, no, it's not a section at GameStop. It is
Speaker 4: what people are labeling games.
Speaker 5: But is it necessarily a bad thing?
Speaker 6: It's not a it doesn't sound positive, it's not.
Speaker 1: It's not men as a compliment, I'll tell you that.
Speaker 5: But if they can appeal to an older audience, unk
Speaker 5: is short for uncle. Yeah, well everyone knows the slang.
Speaker 1: Okay, Well I don't know. Maybe not everybody does.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's often thrown out when you're acting old.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no exactly.
Speaker 5: But when it comes to does this mean a game
Speaker 5: that's been around for a while.
Speaker 1: That's the part I don't understand. I don't understand.
Speaker 4: So I was reading about somebody who's playing the game
Speaker 4: marathon right, fine, I'm not playing it.
Speaker 5: A game we've all heard of, never heard of it?
Speaker 5: Me neither.
Speaker 1: What is that? It's a live shooter game, it's a live.
Speaker 5: Shooter from back in the day.
Speaker 4: The don't I don't play it. I don't know how
Speaker 4: long it's been around. I know it is, I know it.
Speaker 4: It's the company that makes it. I know it's their
Speaker 4: latest game. But I don't play marathon.
Speaker 5: So on games aren't games that were released a while
Speaker 5: ago and still played. They may still have versions coming out.
Speaker 5: Maybe it's an enduring title.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it could be. It could be.
Speaker 4: But people are saying, by the way, let me ask
Speaker 4: you this, let me ask you so it is.
Speaker 1: It is a term of like, oh, you're old, you're old,
Speaker 1: You're old.
Speaker 4: Do you know what the average age of a gamer
Speaker 4: is across the US?
Speaker 6: Across and say something, Is it going to be something
Speaker 6: like thirty?
Speaker 1: No? No, what is the average age?
Speaker 5: Not older?
Speaker 6: Is it?
Speaker 5: What is the average it's going to be old age.
Speaker 4: Of a video gamer in the US? Forty forty one?
Speaker 5: Damn?
Speaker 1: Is the app? Really? Yes?
Speaker 6: How do they have time?
Speaker 1: The say again, how do they have time? They make time?
Speaker 1: You watch the pit people play video games no.
Speaker 4: But like like like my old man hockey team, ninety
Speaker 4: percent of those guys all. I don't want to say
Speaker 4: all they talk about in the locker room, but like
Speaker 4: they talk video games all the time.
Speaker 1: I don't play a lot of video games. I don't.
Speaker 1: But and they're not they're not eighteen nineteen years old. Yeah,
Speaker 1: not at all. No, they are.
Speaker 5: They're in theirs and that averages whereas us.
Speaker 1: So I don't.
Speaker 4: So I don't understand why. I don't understand the name.
Speaker 4: I don't understand the name calling if it is, and
Speaker 4: they'll play, they'll play new versions again, they'll go back
Speaker 4: and play old games. They'll they'll anticipate new games coming out,
Speaker 4: like they play, they play everything everything. I'll play baseball,
Speaker 4: I'll play hockey, and then like occasionally like a shooter game.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, but I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't play that many video games, So I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't know, but it doesn't.
Speaker 4: It seems like I don't understand why it's I don't
Speaker 4: understand why what games get that tag?
Speaker 5: So Marathon, the original game came out in nineteen ninety
Speaker 5: four for the Apple Macintosh. Oh jesus, so there's a
Speaker 5: game that's been around for thirty years and continues to release.
Speaker 5: Does Marathon struggle to attract a new audience? Is it
Speaker 5: just those that have played it for decades that buy it?
Speaker 1: Oh? I don't know. I mean there's a new version out.
Speaker 5: I know, but I'm saying, oh, I only play it
Speaker 5: by those that were there from the beginning. No, then
Speaker 5: how can you if you're if you're youngster and you're
Speaker 5: playing this game, why would you call an unk game?
Speaker 5: Like you said, it's usually used as a pejorative.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, it's not a compliment.
Speaker 5: But also the older audience has money. Yeah, so that's
Speaker 5: why I'm saying, could that be a good thing for
Speaker 5: the industry? Is the industry behind closed doors using that
Speaker 5: term because they know that that audience has disposable income.
Speaker 4: The unk demographic older time, poor but wealthier.
Speaker 5: There you go.
Speaker 4: They've been propping up the gaming, the gaming's traditional business
Speaker 4: model for years. Unks by consoles. Unks are used to
Speaker 4: spending money on games. Adult gamers are a huge profitable demographic.
Speaker 4: Maybe people should keep making games for unks. But every
Speaker 4: game is for an unk? Well that that's not true,
Speaker 4: that's not true at all.
Speaker 5: That not every game I would say but the new
Speaker 5: version is a big thing too, And this being a
Speaker 5: legacy title I think plays into the that because if
Speaker 5: there's a super complicated, time exhausting game, right and Ank's
Speaker 5: not gonna play it, that could be.
Speaker 1: But that's fair.
Speaker 5: If you have a tie to a story.
Speaker 1: That I've already done back in the day, I don't
Speaker 1: need the refresher.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Maybe it's not even a narrative that flows between these
Speaker 5: marathon games again, something we've all heard of. It's still
Speaker 5: marathon like. It still feels like you're continuing off.
Speaker 1: I'll give you that. I'll give you that.
Speaker 4: Sixty of all gamers are over the age of thirty.
Speaker 4: The average age of a gamer is forty one, and
Speaker 4: they are. They didn't give the number, but they said
Speaker 4: the number of gamers in their sixties and seventies is ridiculous.
Speaker 5: Seventies.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'll still be playing MLB the show when I'm seventy.
Speaker 6: They're retired.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, the great game great actually, dexterity. I'll probably
Speaker 1: play more in my seventies when I have time.
Speaker 5: I don't know about that.
Speaker 1: I bet I will, I bet I will either.
Speaker 5: Reviews of this new marathon are good, Are they really
Speaker 5: incredible highs painful lows? Is that for the user it's emotional?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know. I have no idea.
Speaker 5: Gets a nine out of ten, so I doubt it
Speaker 5: means like painful in terms of criticism.
Speaker 4: And then I was reading about a woman who plays
Speaker 4: merit wo Mo, who plays uh, who plays Marathon, and
Speaker 4: she's like, listen, I've heard get back in the kitchen. Like,
Speaker 4: I've heard all of it back in the kitchen, but
Speaker 4: don't call me an unc Jesus.
Speaker 5: So you can talk to other people in this game.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I barge in the kitchen.
Speaker 5: They troll the older players.
Speaker 1: What do you mean?
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, I thought you said, yeah, le troll.
Speaker 4: I thought you said control now Yeah, Oh yeah, of
Speaker 4: course I troll him.
Speaker 1: Hey, careful, lady.
Speaker 6: Does Mary don't break a hip?
Speaker 5: Like in terms of the zeitgeist? Did Marathon have its moment? Like?
Speaker 5: Is there a reference I don't know is from this
Speaker 5: game that people use?
Speaker 1: Oh? Absolutely, Where am I going?
Speaker 7: Christ?

Speaker 8: Years something like that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly, exactly thirty five. Your senior Jesus Christ. All right,
Speaker 1: very good, very good, thank you. Yes, us.
Speaker 5: Is there a definitive database where you can find out
Speaker 5: which category these games go into? What do you mean
Speaker 5: or what's a game title?
Speaker 1: No, but every every game, if you're if you're.
Speaker 5: Every game we've decided cannot be an on.
Speaker 1: Game then so is is is call of duty?
Speaker 5: I make it seem like you didn't so because we've
Speaker 5: now because yeah, because Diane's pitting on something and we've
Speaker 5: talked about called during the past, we've had older players
Speaker 5: call in who say they they can't keep up anymore
Speaker 5: with the younger audience. Really, yeah, we've I've definitely to
Speaker 5: be able to pull the audio. The only audio today
Speaker 5: that I have that's archived is this.
Speaker 1: I see Dustin's ass crack.
Speaker 5: That's it. That's that's on on the button. But that's
Speaker 5: the button today.
Speaker 1: Okay, maybe maybe that's the case.
Speaker 5: But I remember the one guy he kind of did
Speaker 5: like a you know, he almost presented a thesis on
Speaker 5: how he was aging out of being competitive in that
Speaker 5: game because the the the youth players, the youth they're
Speaker 5: just so good and fast and they react and mash
Speaker 5: it's almost strategy instead.
Speaker 1: Of just so he can't he just can't keep up.
Speaker 5: You can't beat him, So I would say, called did
Speaker 5: he no?
Speaker 1: Red Dead? I don't know great game?
Speaker 5: What that game is?
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what it is, awesome.
Speaker 5: I told you my son's still playing that UFC game.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 5: I got a text message last night from another father
Speaker 5: who said, Uh, my son, he's he's rubbing off on
Speaker 5: my son, right, the Texter son, because that he took
Speaker 5: a screenshot of his son deciding which edition of UFC
Speaker 5: to get. I'm so sorry.
Speaker 4: How about Tyler's kids? The UFC kid in the neighborhood?
Speaker 1: Where am I going? Line three? Hi Elliott in the morning? Yeah, Hi,
Speaker 1: who's that?
Speaker 2: Hey?
Speaker 1: What's going on? Dude?
Speaker 4: Hey?
Speaker 2: So Marathon is no one knows what that is? The
Speaker 2: old game? Yes, it's I mean, no one knows. This
Speaker 2: just an old game that bungeee the creators of Halo,
Speaker 2: they recreated it for modern times.
Speaker 1: Okay, is it's not like? Is it good?
Speaker 2: I haven't played it, but I heard it's good. But
Speaker 2: I know the player base is lacking for it's a
Speaker 2: live shooter like Fortnite and other games. Right, it depends,
Speaker 2: It depends on you know the player count to keep
Speaker 2: it alive, and supposedly it's not doing too well because
Speaker 2: there's too much competition in the in that genre.
Speaker 4: Right in the live shooter games, I get that, Hey,
Speaker 4: what is the what is the what is?
Speaker 1: Oh? You don't know? I was gonna say, what is marathon?
Speaker 1: Known for nothing?
Speaker 2: That's what I'm saying is no, it's it's so old
Speaker 2: that people are like, what is this? What's a remake?
Speaker 5: Like?
Speaker 2: No one knew what it was. I don't know how
Speaker 2: many people.
Speaker 1: Played it on marathon Marathon?
Speaker 4: All right, So that makes sense, though, that makes sense
Speaker 4: to me why that would get classified?
Speaker 1: Hey what what game are you playing?
Speaker 2: None? Too busy? I watched, I watched, I watched YouTube
Speaker 2: game channels, and that's why I learned stuff. I haven't
Speaker 2: played anything in a.
Speaker 1: While, gotcha? Gotcha? All right, dude?
