18
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:03,680
Speaker 3: things in his own time. Don't be mean. And then

19
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:06,319
Speaker 3: we've got some sad news about the Black Panther video

20
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:08,400
Speaker 3: game not come in to light?

21
00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:09,760
Speaker 2: What the hell is going on with that?

22
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:14,920
Speaker 1: First up? Amazon has canceled Wheel of Time after three seasons.

23
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:20,160
Speaker 1: The show starring Rosmund Pike, got off to a pretty

24
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:25,200
Speaker 1: strong start but has slipped of late and I think

25
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:29,080
Speaker 1: kind of bodes ill for this era of Game of

26
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:32,160
Speaker 1: Thrones knockoffs, if it can even be said to have

27
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:36,160
Speaker 1: ever started. The series, of course, was an adaptation of

28
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:41,280
Speaker 1: the famous You Know ten plus book series by Robert Jordan,

29
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:46,640
Speaker 1: finished by other authors when the original or author passed away,

30
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:51,640
Speaker 1: and You Know is one of the most beloved high

31
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:56,960
Speaker 1: fantasy book series ever, but sadly could not make a

32
00:01:57,040 --> 00:01:59,840
Speaker 1: dent and cut through in the Postgame of Thrones world.

33
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:02,640
Speaker 1: Any thoughts about Wheel of Time make.

34
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 3: Me a little nervous about Rings of Power. Yeah, we're

35
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:09,320
Speaker 3: in a very strange time for fantasy. Obviously, we're fantasy

36
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 3: lovers over here. Fantasy costs a lot of money. It's

37
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:13,880
Speaker 3: also hard to adapt. You spend a lot of time

38
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:17,080
Speaker 3: in your head with fantasy. It has a very specific look, vibe, pace,

39
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:20,000
Speaker 3: which can kind of differ for everybody, you know.

40
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 2: And it's also an entering time for Amazon.

41
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:23,080
Speaker 3: You know, we have time with sort of one of

42
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 3: their first big gets, both as an acquisition and then

43
00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:28,680
Speaker 3: as a series, and for it to sort of fall

44
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:33,520
Speaker 3: off so early, and it's adaptation, I don't know.

45
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:35,040
Speaker 2: I'm hoping we see.

46
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:37,200
Speaker 3: Some straightening out, but it also just might be time

47
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 3: to pause on fantasy series. Let's really pace out, think

48
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 3: about it. I'm hoping and or changes hearts and minds

49
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 3: about how we can do TV shows. Well, give people

50
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:48,800
Speaker 3: time to actually write these things. Let's get whole teams

51
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:51,920
Speaker 3: and editing. Let's let directors do whole arcst's really nail

52
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:55,079
Speaker 3: it down and focus. I think there's hope, but obviously

53
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:56,400
Speaker 3: some restructuring needs to happen.

54
00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:02,720
Speaker 1: Next up sad news, EA Electronic Arts is canceling its

55
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:07,440
Speaker 1: upcoming Black Panther third person open world video game and

56
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:12,080
Speaker 1: shutting down the developer that was working on at Cliffhanger Games.

57
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:16,120
Speaker 1: EA Entertainment president Laura Miiel said an email, the cancelation

58
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:18,239
Speaker 1: of the laps are done to quote sharpen our focus

59
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:22,519
Speaker 1: and put our creative energy behind the most significant growth opportunities.

60
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:26,280
Speaker 1: She continued, the companies focusing on a handful of really

61
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:30,720
Speaker 1: ongoing and vital franchises going forward. The Battlefield franchise was

62
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 1: looking towards another game in that series, very popular long

63
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:40,760
Speaker 1: running series The Sims, which is of course now almost

64
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:46,320
Speaker 1: three decade ongoing series, Skate the Skate franchise and Apex Legends,

65
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 1: one of its much Valuyhood free to play action games.

66
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:54,760
Speaker 1: She continued that EA will continue to invest in its

67
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 1: Iron Man game at Motive and other Star Wars games

68
00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:01,400
Speaker 1: that it's working on. But this is sad news. This

69
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:05,440
Speaker 1: game was, from what I understand, pretty far along and

70
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:09,200
Speaker 1: was going to be very very exciting, with a rich

71
00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:13,240
Speaker 1: map that encompassed all the various regions of Wakanda and

72
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:14,920
Speaker 1: its culture. And this sucks.

73
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:18,720
Speaker 2: This really does suck. This blows, dude. If you can't

74
00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:19,400
Speaker 2: here's the thing.

75
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:22,400
Speaker 3: It's different because it's Black Panther, But if you can't

76
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:24,719
Speaker 3: finish it, don't start. It is really where I'm at, Like,

77
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:27,559
Speaker 3: Black Panther means so much to so many people. We had,

78
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:34,200
Speaker 3: you know, an incredible, like genre altering film and then

79
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:37,320
Speaker 3: an absolute like devastation and loss. I just feel like,

80
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:39,240
Speaker 3: stop messing with this character, leave him alone if you

81
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:41,680
Speaker 3: can't do it. And it sounded so cool, and you know,

82
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:44,320
Speaker 3: we've heard from different writers, you know, throughout the process.

83
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:47,960
Speaker 3: I think they had them at Disney D twenty three

84
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:49,679
Speaker 3: a couple of years ago, they did a whole.

85
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 2: Panel on it.

86
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:52,920
Speaker 3: It just sounded so thrilling and to hear that they're

87
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:56,039
Speaker 3: gonna get Hitty with Marvel and then to use Here's

88
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:58,479
Speaker 3: where I really ping against what Mel had to say.

89
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 3: Battlefield the game you just constantly kind of redo and

90
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:04,560
Speaker 3: polish up a little bit. The same thing with the SIMS.

91
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:06,720
Speaker 3: The SIMS is my favorite video game. I have sunk

92
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:09,760
Speaker 3: too much money in the SIMS. I love the SIMS.

93
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:12,240
Speaker 3: But you're not designing a new game. You're just releasing packs,

94
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:14,520
Speaker 3: and a lot of these packs you're going to, like

95
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:18,920
Speaker 3: the mods, giving them pennies and asking them to bring

96
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 3: some of the best like updates to the game that

97
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:23,080
Speaker 3: we've seen so far. So it's like, what are you

98
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 3: EA doing as a company to support these games outside

99
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:30,240
Speaker 3: of just you know, these cute little polish ups that

100
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:31,920
Speaker 3: you make a ton of money on. It's just very

101
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:34,360
Speaker 3: I'm so confused by the video game industry and how

102
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:37,919
Speaker 3: it spends its money. All these things keep collapsing, and

103
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:42,920
Speaker 3: yet the largest entertainment like arm available right now is

104
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:45,599
Speaker 3: the strongest earner is video games right now, And so

105
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:48,560
Speaker 3: I just can't understand why Fox can't make it to shelves.

106
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:53,760
Speaker 1: It is, you know, very disconcerting. Now these cuts come

107
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:57,919
Speaker 1: in the context of many other cuts at EA and

108
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:02,200
Speaker 1: across the industry. EA laid off three hundred people in

109
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:05,520
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five, including around one hundred at Respawn, which

110
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:11,640
Speaker 1: was the developer behind titan Fall. EA restructured BioWare recently

111
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:16,360
Speaker 1: moving various developers. Around six hundred and seventy workers were

112
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:19,600
Speaker 1: laid off in twenty twenty four, including many at Respawn.

113
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:22,719
Speaker 1: I think part of the thing that really frustrates me

114
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:30,000
Speaker 1: is that Cliffhanger comes from the DNA of comes with

115
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:33,039
Speaker 1: a lot of the personnel that helped create Middle Earth

116
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:36,279
Speaker 1: Shadow of Mortar, which the Mortar games, the Shadow games

117
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:40,120
Speaker 1: are some of my favorite games ever, which with an

118
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:44,560
Speaker 1: incredible battle system and this rivalry system where if you're

119
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:47,839
Speaker 1: defeated by an enemy, that enemy gets stronger and now

120
00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:51,320
Speaker 1: you have a feud going with them, and the idea

121
00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:55,000
Speaker 1: that some of that DNA would be behind the mechanics

122
00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:59,599
Speaker 1: of a open world Black Panther game. It's really just.

123
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:02,080
Speaker 2: Pointing we're not getting that game up. Next.

124
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:07,000
Speaker 1: Chris Hemsworth drops a tribute to Thor. It's May in

125
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:11,600
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five. Why is Chris Hemsworth acting like Thor

126
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:14,760
Speaker 1: is dead and that he's never gonna play him anymore?

127
00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:18,960
Speaker 1: Leading many to wonder Jesus Christ Thor gonna die in

128
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:19,360
Speaker 1: one of these?

129
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:22,640
Speaker 2: I mean that's where my mind went.

130
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:28,400
Speaker 3: Your thoughts, Joe, what's strange just about it ends like Thor,

131
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:30,240
Speaker 3: Love and Thunder, a movie that came out what three

132
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:31,440
Speaker 3: four years ago?

133
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:33,679
Speaker 2: I was like, I just it looks.

134
00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:34,960
Speaker 3: Like somebody opened up a thumb drive and was like,

135
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:37,640
Speaker 3: oh shit, we have this, Yes, we just drop it now.

136
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:38,680
Speaker 2: Very confusing.

137
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:43,200
Speaker 3: I do think it pinned for me the Wolverine Deadpool

138
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:45,760
Speaker 3: little caption we get with him that still has not

139
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:49,280
Speaker 3: paid off in the MCU. We know we're getting big

140
00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:53,440
Speaker 3: crossover events. Shortly, I was like, Okay, he's crying in

141
00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:56,480
Speaker 3: the thing we see in the Deadpool Wolverine movie. Maybe

142
00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:58,640
Speaker 3: maybe he is coming to an end, and you know what,

143
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:00,559
Speaker 3: that's okay. Chris has given us a lot of time

144
00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:05,200
Speaker 3: with this character. And also so I'm of two minds. One,

145
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:07,480
Speaker 3: it's totally fine if you want to leave, Chris, you

146
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:10,800
Speaker 3: were one of the best iconic role really nailed it.

147
00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:12,480
Speaker 3: Took you some time, but once you figured it out,

148
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 3: wow spectacular. The other mine is Disney is a vampire

149
00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:18,120
Speaker 3: and it's never letting go of anybody. Apparently everyone is

150
00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:20,000
Speaker 3: available to come back at any time. Do we have

151
00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:22,280
Speaker 3: to ever really truly say goodbye? It seems silly at

152
00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:24,600
Speaker 3: this point. I know that even if Chris leaves in

153
00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:26,640
Speaker 3: twenty years, they'll be like, we got him back. Guys,

154
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:28,040
Speaker 3: don't even worry about it.

155
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:32,240
Speaker 2: You can have more. We found another universe. Don't even worry.

156
00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:36,040
Speaker 3: Like it's change, it's weird, it's goofy. But it was

157
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:37,120
Speaker 3: a lovely tribute.

158
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:39,200
Speaker 1: It was a lovely tribute.

159
00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:40,120
Speaker 2: What is happening?

160
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:43,319
Speaker 1: Because you know, here's the other thing. Disney is not

161
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:49,920
Speaker 1: gonna let Chris Hemsworth drop anything about their IP without

162
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:52,800
Speaker 1: there being something behind it or getting the okay, so

163
00:08:53,720 --> 00:09:00,640
Speaker 1: what this bodes tbd? But it's something something. Oh yeah,

164
00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:04,760
Speaker 1: let's take a quick break. We'll be back with more.

165
00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:16,640
Speaker 2: And where we're at. Georgia R.

166
00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:21,080
Speaker 1: Martin is being bullied what is why? On his blog

167
00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:26,160
Speaker 1: not a blog. Recently, George was promoting a new animated

168
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:30,720
Speaker 1: feature that is on the way from the studio Lion

169
00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:36,160
Speaker 1: Forge with writing by him, adapting stories with writing adaptions

170
00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:41,839
Speaker 1: by him, And in this blog he mentions that people

171
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:43,480
Speaker 1: are going to be mad at him for not working

172
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:46,559
Speaker 1: on Wins of Winner quote. I know, I know, some

173
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:48,440
Speaker 1: of you will be pissed off by this, as you

174
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:50,800
Speaker 1: are by everything I announce here that is not about

175
00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:53,160
Speaker 1: Westrus or the Wins of Winter. You have given up

176
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:55,240
Speaker 1: on me or on the book. I will never finish

177
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:57,160
Speaker 1: Wins if I do. I will never finish a dream

178
00:09:57,200 --> 00:09:58,880
Speaker 1: of spring. If I do, it won't be any good.

179
00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:00,679
Speaker 1: I had to get some other right to pinch hit

180
00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:02,480
Speaker 1: for me. I'm gonna die soon anyway, because I'm so

181
00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:06,320
Speaker 1: old lost the interested Song of Ice and Fire decades ago,

182
00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:07,760
Speaker 1: and he goes.

183
00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:08,200
Speaker 4: On and on and on.

184
00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:14,839
Speaker 1: Listen. We have talked here about things that ways that

185
00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:19,840
Speaker 1: this property could finish. But one thing that is I

186
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:22,040
Speaker 1: think we've been clear about. And if not, I want

187
00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:24,920
Speaker 1: to reiterate, George is done enough. The world's create that

188
00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:29,080
Speaker 1: he's created is so vital and rich and detailed, with

189
00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:31,400
Speaker 1: the history that goes back thousands of years that you

190
00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:34,160
Speaker 1: can examine almost on a year to year basis, that

191
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:39,040
Speaker 1: just that is a huge contribution to sci fi storytelling,

192
00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:43,160
Speaker 1: to excuse me, to fantasy storytelling, to fantasy literature, and

193
00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:46,880
Speaker 1: has been hugely influential to many storytellers coming up in

194
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:52,280
Speaker 1: his way. Don't if you have stuff gripes that you're

195
00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:55,680
Speaker 1: griping within the community to each other about things. Yeah,

196
00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:59,520
Speaker 1: that's fine, don't direct those to George.

197
00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:05,559
Speaker 2: He's done enough. We don't go leave him alone. He's trying.

198
00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:11,080
Speaker 1: He's trying, you know, like any kind of things you

199
00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:14,360
Speaker 1: need to tell you want to discuss your frustrations.

200
00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:15,880
Speaker 2: About that, Yeah, do that, but don't don't.

201
00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:17,160
Speaker 1: Direct them to George.

202
00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:20,359
Speaker 2: I have two notes. So I know too many.

203
00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:28,200
Speaker 3: Very successful in the spotlight performers, creators who can't help themselves,

204
00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:32,000
Speaker 3: but tiptoe into reddits and onto the twitters and stuff,

205
00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:34,120
Speaker 3: and they're like, what are people saying? So George, I

206
00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:36,600
Speaker 3: just first like say, if you're doing this, don't do that, buddy,

207
00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:40,360
Speaker 3: that's not fun for anybody. Stay off the reddit. But two, yeah,

208
00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:42,840
Speaker 3: going directly to George's is dumb. The man gets to

209
00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:46,320
Speaker 3: make his own choices. He's incredibly creative, and well he's

210
00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:48,160
Speaker 3: doing that. I think a lot of people don't really

211
00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:50,959
Speaker 3: acknowledge it. He supports so many fantasy writers. But if

212
00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:54,800
Speaker 3: he lends his name to whatever project exactly, and that

213
00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:56,760
Speaker 3: can only be good for us as like a fantasy

214
00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:57,680
Speaker 3: loving community.

215
00:11:57,720 --> 00:12:00,840
Speaker 2: So that's really beautiful of him. I will all so say.

216
00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:04,440
Speaker 3: I get listen because the Boks we're not finished. We

217
00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:06,080
Speaker 3: got the ending of Game of Thrones that we got,

218
00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:08,679
Speaker 3: and I just feel like on some level we are, like,

219
00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:11,760
Speaker 3: it's very challenging as fans who love the series, and

220
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:14,600
Speaker 3: if you've ever do you know how many trilogies dualogy

221
00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:16,040
Speaker 3: where I'm like, I have to wait how long for

222
00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:18,600
Speaker 3: the book? I what happens to these characters I've grown

223
00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:21,440
Speaker 3: connected to and love. So I totally hear fans being like,

224
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:23,720
Speaker 3: this is exhausting. I don't want to hear about another title.

225
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:26,480
Speaker 3: I'm ready to go. But I also think this is

226
00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:29,280
Speaker 3: a living human being who's given us so so so

227
00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:32,280
Speaker 3: much to him to his face, please just be gracious

228
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:34,040
Speaker 3: and have gratitude, like we're very lucky.

229
00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:41,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're absolutely appreciative here and extra vision, and we

230
00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:44,200
Speaker 1: are very fortunate to live in the world that he

231
00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:48,400
Speaker 1: also lives in. Up next, in kind of associated George R.

232
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:52,480
Speaker 1: Martin News, let's bring in our resident Night Ring Lover

233
00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:56,560
Speaker 1: super producer Aaron to talk about the new elden Ring

234
00:12:57,160 --> 00:13:02,680
Speaker 1: Night Rain edition who trailer just recently dropped.

235
00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:07,080
Speaker 4: That's right, the final trailer for night Rain dropped earlier

236
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:12,480
Speaker 4: this week, set to classic classic song, a Banger, Evanescence,

237
00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:14,400
Speaker 4: bring Me to Life. Now those three.

238
00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:16,600
Speaker 1: Other songs that they do you think that they considered

239
00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:18,600
Speaker 1: because I feel like they just kind of were like, just.

240
00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:19,360
Speaker 2: Do bring me to Life?

241
00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:21,920
Speaker 4: Then I think they were like, we got two finalists,

242
00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:23,600
Speaker 4: it's it takes two to make the thing go right

243
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:29,800
Speaker 4: or bring me to Life, and they decided on So

244
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:32,760
Speaker 4: this trailer is like an anime music video. Basically, there's

245
00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:36,280
Speaker 4: no it's just the song and footage from the game

246
00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:40,079
Speaker 4: that looks amazing and as well put together. They're Boston Fandragons,

247
00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:43,679
Speaker 4: it's set to like the lyrics when they hit are

248
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:45,920
Speaker 4: when you know bring Me to Life is when the

249
00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:50,559
Speaker 4: character raises the spirits to help them fight. This feels

250
00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:55,320
Speaker 4: like fans are loving this, whether that is because of

251
00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:58,280
Speaker 4: the recent rise in popularity of this song thanks to

252
00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:03,240
Speaker 4: Nathan Fielder unclear. Bandy namco representatives did say Nathan had

253
00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:06,160
Speaker 4: nothing to do with this trailer soundtrack, so he did

254
00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:09,760
Speaker 4: not come in to advise on it. But in honor

255
00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:12,720
Speaker 4: of this, I would like to make a proposal of

256
00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:16,200
Speaker 4: more new metal songs in video game trailers. So I

257
00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:17,640
Speaker 4: just want to pitch a couple of things to the

258
00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:20,040
Speaker 4: two of you. You let me know if this works

259
00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:23,800
Speaker 4: for you or not. So my first one, I think

260
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:26,640
Speaker 4: you know New Mario Kart World. Everyone's excited and tend

261
00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:29,680
Speaker 4: to switch to set it to Olympus get rolling boom

262
00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:35,080
Speaker 4: it number two, number two, the Last of Us. I

263
00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:36,520
Speaker 4: don't know if this is Last of Us one or

264
00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:38,760
Speaker 4: Last of Us two or Jason's proposal of Last of

265
00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:43,600
Speaker 4: Us three. All about the infected boom trailer set to

266
00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:47,040
Speaker 4: disturbed down with the Sickness. Number three, the game that

267
00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:49,880
Speaker 4: I think I've probably the most kills that everyone does.

268
00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:52,600
Speaker 4: We're not all, you know, good at this game, but

269
00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:55,440
Speaker 4: there are lots of kills in this game Halo. Instead

270
00:14:55,440 --> 00:15:00,440
Speaker 4: of those those operatic vocals, Trailer hits Boom drowning, Let

280
00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:37,360
Speaker 4: Minecraft Minecraft get Out, Please say so. Elden Ring Night

281
00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:42,040
Speaker 4: Rain is incredibly fun. It is a Souls like roguelike,

282
00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:47,520
Speaker 4: mostly multiplayer game, third person enemy mobs, loot, roaming, bosses,

283
00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:50,880
Speaker 4: and environmental events. It is a meant to be like

284
00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:53,560
Speaker 4: played in forty minute chunks, so it does not have

285
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:57,040
Speaker 4: the contemplative nature that previous Souls like have. It is

286
00:15:57,640 --> 00:15:59,960
Speaker 4: like you drop in and it is a frantic run.

287
00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:03,400
Speaker 4: You have to go find items fine souls to level up,

288
00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:05,560
Speaker 4: and then at the end you fight a boss. On

289
00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:07,760
Speaker 4: day one. If you survive day one, you go into

290
00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:10,600
Speaker 4: day two do the same thing. It's a smaller map

291
00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:12,440
Speaker 4: than elden Ring, which had a huge map. But this

292
00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:15,720
Speaker 4: is a smaller map, but because things are randomized within it,

293
00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:19,160
Speaker 4: I didn't I played three runs this morning and it

294
00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:22,600
Speaker 4: didn't feel too small by any means. I never crossed

295
00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:25,120
Speaker 4: over the entire map in a single playthrough, which was good.

296
00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:27,600
Speaker 4: I will say the game is forty dollars. It is

297
00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:30,480
Speaker 4: not your typical like sixty or eighty dollars game right

298
00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:34,360
Speaker 4: now on launch day today, over two million players already. Damn.

299
00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:37,320
Speaker 4: I will say. Reviews on Steam are mixed, mostly because

300
00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:41,360
Speaker 4: people are complaining the game doesn't have good balance for

301
00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:45,680
Speaker 4: solo play. There's not really strong duo support, and there's

302
00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:47,760
Speaker 4: no voice chat, so when you're trying to coordinate with

303
00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:49,840
Speaker 4: the other people, you can't talk to them unless you're

304
00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:52,480
Speaker 4: like friends with them on PlayStation and you already are

305
00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:54,000
Speaker 4: in a group of or Discord or something.

306
00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:54,320
Speaker 2: Yeah.

307
00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:58,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, so it is a lot of fun. But reach out,

308
00:16:58,440 --> 00:16:59,760
Speaker 4: you know, if you're on Discord and you want someone

309
00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:01,480
Speaker 4: to play with, let me know, because I'll be I'll

310
00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:03,120
Speaker 4: be jumping into the night rain ring.

311
00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:07,280
