<v Speaker 2>Plus news. This Day's happening, It's happening. It's been a

0:00:44.760 --> 0:00:45.200
<v Speaker 2>weird week.

0:00:45.240 --> 0:00:48.320

0:00:48.520 --> 0:00:50.120
<v Speaker 3>We're gonna speculate on why now.

<v Speaker 3>Plus leave George our Our Martin alone. Okay, he can do

0:01:01.440 --> 0:01:03.680
<v Speaker 3>things in his own time. Don't be mean. And then

0:01:03.720 --> 0:01:06.319
<v Speaker 3>we've got some sad news about the Black Panther video

0:01:06.400 --> 0:01:08.400
<v Speaker 3>game not come in to light?

0:01:08.520 --> 0:01:09.760
<v Speaker 2>What the hell is going on with that?

0:01:10.560 --> 0:01:14.920
<v Speaker 1>First up? Amazon has canceled Wheel of Time after three seasons.

0:01:15.640 --> 0:01:20.160
<v Speaker 1>The show starring Rosmund Pike, got off to a pretty

0:01:20.200 --> 0:01:25.200
<v Speaker 1>strong start but has slipped of late and I think

0:01:25.280 --> 0:01:29.080
<v Speaker 1>kind of bodes ill for this era of Game of

0:01:29.120 --> 0:01:32.160
<v Speaker 1>Thrones knockoffs, if it can even be said to have

0:01:32.240 --> 0:01:36.160
<v Speaker 1>ever started. The series, of course, was an adaptation of

0:01:36.200 --> 0:01:41.280
<v Speaker 1>the famous You Know ten plus book series by Robert Jordan,

0:01:41.520 --> 0:01:46.640
<v Speaker 1>finished by other authors when the original or author passed away,

0:01:47.040 --> 0:01:51.640
<v Speaker 1>and You Know is one of the most beloved high

0:01:51.680 --> 0:01:56.960
<v Speaker 1>fantasy book series ever, but sadly could not make a

0:01:57.040 --> 0:01:59.840
<v Speaker 1>dent and cut through in the Postgame of Thrones world.

0:02:00.000 --> 0:02:02.640
<v Speaker 1>Any thoughts about Wheel of Time make.

0:02:02.600 --> 0:02:06.080
<v Speaker 3>Me a little nervous about Rings of Power. Yeah, we're

0:02:06.120 --> 0:02:09.320
<v Speaker 3>in a very strange time for fantasy. Obviously, we're fantasy

0:02:09.360 --> 0:02:12.040
<v Speaker 3>lovers over here. Fantasy costs a lot of money. It's

0:02:12.040 --> 0:02:13.880
<v Speaker 3>also hard to adapt. You spend a lot of time

0:02:13.919 --> 0:02:17.080
<v Speaker 3>in your head with fantasy. It has a very specific look, vibe, pace,

0:02:17.120 --> 0:02:20.000
<v Speaker 3>which can kind of differ for everybody, you know.

0:02:20.200 --> 0:02:21.760
<v Speaker 2>And it's also an entering time for Amazon.

0:02:21.840 --> 0:02:23.080
<v Speaker 3>You know, we have time with sort of one of

0:02:23.080 --> 0:02:26.480
<v Speaker 3>their first big gets, both as an acquisition and then

0:02:26.639 --> 0:02:28.680
<v Speaker 3>as a series, and for it to sort of fall

0:02:28.760 --> 0:02:33.520
<v Speaker 3>off so early, and it's adaptation, I don't know.

0:02:33.720 --> 0:02:35.040
<v Speaker 2>I'm hoping we see.

0:02:34.880 --> 0:02:37.200
<v Speaker 3>Some straightening out, but it also just might be time

0:02:37.320 --> 0:02:40.320
<v Speaker 3>to pause on fantasy series. Let's really pace out, think

0:02:40.360 --> 0:02:43.000
<v Speaker 3>about it. I'm hoping and or changes hearts and minds

0:02:43.040 --> 0:02:46.200
<v Speaker 3>about how we can do TV shows. Well, give people

0:02:46.240 --> 0:02:48.800
<v Speaker 3>time to actually write these things. Let's get whole teams

0:02:48.840 --> 0:02:51.920
<v Speaker 3>and editing. Let's let directors do whole arcst's really nail

0:02:51.960 --> 0:02:55.079
<v Speaker 3>it down and focus. I think there's hope, but obviously

0:02:55.120 --> 0:02:56.400
<v Speaker 3>some restructuring needs to happen.

0:02:57.720 --> 0:03:02.720
<v Speaker 1>Next up sad news, EA Electronic Arts is canceling its

0:03:02.840 --> 0:03:07.440
<v Speaker 1>upcoming Black Panther third person open world video game and

0:03:08.440 --> 0:03:12.080
<v Speaker 1>shutting down the developer that was working on at Cliffhanger Games.

0:03:12.760 --> 0:03:16.120
<v Speaker 1>EA Entertainment president Laura Miiel said an email, the cancelation

0:03:16.160 --> 0:03:18.239
<v Speaker 1>of the laps are done to quote sharpen our focus

0:03:18.280 --> 0:03:22.519
<v Speaker 1>and put our creative energy behind the most significant growth opportunities.

0:03:23.160 --> 0:03:26.280
<v Speaker 1>She continued, the companies focusing on a handful of really

0:03:26.360 --> 0:03:30.720
<v Speaker 1>ongoing and vital franchises going forward. The Battlefield franchise was

0:03:30.800 --> 0:03:36.040
<v Speaker 1>looking towards another game in that series, very popular long

0:03:36.120 --> 0:03:40.760
<v Speaker 1>running series The Sims, which is of course now almost

0:03:40.760 --> 0:03:46.320
<v Speaker 1>three decade ongoing series, Skate the Skate franchise and Apex Legends,

0:03:46.360 --> 0:03:51.280
<v Speaker 1>one of its much Valuyhood free to play action games.

0:03:51.960 --> 0:03:54.760
<v Speaker 1>She continued that EA will continue to invest in its

0:03:54.800 --> 0:03:58.480
<v Speaker 1>Iron Man game at Motive and other Star Wars games

0:03:58.480 --> 0:04:01.400
<v Speaker 1>that it's working on. But this is sad news. This

0:04:01.480 --> 0:04:05.440
<v Speaker 1>game was, from what I understand, pretty far along and

0:04:05.640 --> 0:04:09.200
<v Speaker 1>was going to be very very exciting, with a rich

0:04:09.320 --> 0:04:13.240
<v Speaker 1>map that encompassed all the various regions of Wakanda and

0:04:13.280 --> 0:04:14.920
<v Speaker 1>its culture. And this sucks.

0:04:15.040 --> 0:04:18.720
<v Speaker 2>This really does suck. This blows, dude. If you can't

0:04:18.839 --> 0:04:19.400
<v Speaker 2>here's the thing.

0:04:20.480 --> 0:04:22.400
<v Speaker 3>It's different because it's Black Panther, But if you can't

0:04:22.400 --> 0:04:24.719
<v Speaker 3>finish it, don't start. It is really where I'm at, Like,

0:04:24.760 --> 0:04:27.559
<v Speaker 3>Black Panther means so much to so many people. We had,

0:04:28.080 --> 0:04:34.200
<v Speaker 3>you know, an incredible, like genre altering film and then

0:04:34.400 --> 0:04:37.320
<v Speaker 3>an absolute like devastation and loss. I just feel like,

0:04:37.360 --> 0:04:39.240
<v Speaker 3>stop messing with this character, leave him alone if you

0:04:39.279 --> 0:04:41.680
<v Speaker 3>can't do it. And it sounded so cool, and you know,

0:04:41.680 --> 0:04:44.320
<v Speaker 3>we've heard from different writers, you know, throughout the process.

0:04:44.360 --> 0:04:47.960
<v Speaker 3>I think they had them at Disney D twenty three

0:04:48.000 --> 0:04:49.679
<v Speaker 3>a couple of years ago, they did a whole.

0:04:49.480 --> 0:04:50.400
<v Speaker 2>Panel on it.

0:04:50.400 --> 0:04:52.920
<v Speaker 3>It just sounded so thrilling and to hear that they're

0:04:52.920 --> 0:04:56.039
<v Speaker 3>gonna get Hitty with Marvel and then to use Here's

0:04:56.080 --> 0:04:58.479
<v Speaker 3>where I really ping against what Mel had to say.

0:04:58.960 --> 0:05:02.080
<v Speaker 3>Battlefield the game you just constantly kind of redo and

0:05:02.120 --> 0:05:04.560
<v Speaker 3>polish up a little bit. The same thing with the SIMS.

0:05:04.600 --> 0:05:06.720
<v Speaker 3>The SIMS is my favorite video game. I have sunk

0:05:07.360 --> 0:05:09.760
<v Speaker 3>too much money in the SIMS. I love the SIMS.

0:05:09.800 --> 0:05:12.240
<v Speaker 3>But you're not designing a new game. You're just releasing packs,

0:05:12.240 --> 0:05:14.520
<v Speaker 3>and a lot of these packs you're going to, like

0:05:14.920 --> 0:05:18.920
<v Speaker 3>the mods, giving them pennies and asking them to bring

0:05:18.960 --> 0:05:21.320
<v Speaker 3>some of the best like updates to the game that

0:05:21.360 --> 0:05:23.080
<v Speaker 3>we've seen so far. So it's like, what are you

0:05:23.200 --> 0:05:27.520
<v Speaker 3>EA doing as a company to support these games outside

0:05:27.600 --> 0:05:30.240
<v Speaker 3>of just you know, these cute little polish ups that

0:05:30.279 --> 0:05:31.920
<v Speaker 3>you make a ton of money on. It's just very

0:05:32.000 --> 0:05:34.360
<v Speaker 3>I'm so confused by the video game industry and how

0:05:34.480 --> 0:05:37.919
<v Speaker 3>it spends its money. All these things keep collapsing, and

0:05:38.040 --> 0:05:42.920
<v Speaker 3>yet the largest entertainment like arm available right now is

0:05:42.960 --> 0:05:45.599
<v Speaker 3>the strongest earner is video games right now, And so

0:05:45.640 --> 0:05:48.560
<v Speaker 3>I just can't understand why Fox can't make it to shelves.

0:05:48.880 --> 0:05:53.760
<v Speaker 1>It is, you know, very disconcerting. Now these cuts come

0:05:54.520 --> 0:05:57.919
<v Speaker 1>in the context of many other cuts at EA and

0:05:58.000 --> 0:06:02.200
<v Speaker 1>across the industry. EA laid off three hundred people in

0:06:02.240 --> 0:06:05.520
<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty five, including around one hundred at Respawn, which

0:06:05.600 --> 0:06:11.640
<v Speaker 1>was the developer behind titan Fall. EA restructured BioWare recently

0:06:11.800 --> 0:06:16.360
<v Speaker 1>moving various developers. Around six hundred and seventy workers were

0:06:16.400 --> 0:06:19.600
<v Speaker 1>laid off in twenty twenty four, including many at Respawn.

0:06:20.440 --> 0:06:22.719
<v Speaker 1>I think part of the thing that really frustrates me

0:06:23.000 --> 0:06:30.000
<v Speaker 1>is that Cliffhanger comes from the DNA of comes with

0:06:30.040 --> 0:06:33.039
<v Speaker 1>a lot of the personnel that helped create Middle Earth

0:06:33.080 --> 0:06:36.279
<v Speaker 1>Shadow of Mortar, which the Mortar games, the Shadow games

0:06:37.040 --> 0:06:40.120
<v Speaker 1>are some of my favorite games ever, which with an

0:06:40.160 --> 0:06:44.560
<v Speaker 1>incredible battle system and this rivalry system where if you're

0:06:44.560 --> 0:06:47.839
<v Speaker 1>defeated by an enemy, that enemy gets stronger and now

0:06:47.839 --> 0:06:51.320
<v Speaker 1>you have a feud going with them, and the idea

0:06:51.400 --> 0:06:55.000
<v Speaker 1>that some of that DNA would be behind the mechanics

0:06:55.080 --> 0:06:59.599
<v Speaker 1>of a open world Black Panther game. It's really just.

0:06:59.720 --> 0:07:02.080
<v Speaker 2>Pointing we're not getting that game up. Next.

0:07:02.200 --> 0:07:07.000
<v Speaker 1>Chris Hemsworth drops a tribute to Thor. It's May in

0:07:07.080 --> 0:07:11.600
<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty five. Why is Chris Hemsworth acting like Thor

0:07:11.840 --> 0:07:14.760
<v Speaker 1>is dead and that he's never gonna play him anymore?

0:07:14.840 --> 0:07:18.960
<v Speaker 1>Leading many to wonder Jesus Christ Thor gonna die in

0:07:19.000 --> 0:07:19.360
<v Speaker 1>one of these?

0:07:20.400 --> 0:07:22.640
<v Speaker 2>I mean that's where my mind went.

0:07:23.120 --> 0:07:28.400
<v Speaker 3>Your thoughts, Joe, what's strange just about it ends like Thor,

0:07:28.520 --> 0:07:30.240
<v Speaker 3>Love and Thunder, a movie that came out what three

0:07:30.560 --> 0:07:31.440
<v Speaker 3>four years ago?

0:07:31.760 --> 0:07:33.679
<v Speaker 2>I was like, I just it looks.

0:07:33.520 --> 0:07:34.960
<v Speaker 3>Like somebody opened up a thumb drive and was like,

0:07:35.000 --> 0:07:37.640
<v Speaker 3>oh shit, we have this, Yes, we just drop it now.

0:07:37.960 --> 0:07:38.680
<v Speaker 2>Very confusing.

0:07:39.120 --> 0:07:43.200
<v Speaker 3>I do think it pinned for me the Wolverine Deadpool

0:07:43.840 --> 0:07:45.760
<v Speaker 3>little caption we get with him that still has not

0:07:45.920 --> 0:07:49.280
<v Speaker 3>paid off in the MCU. We know we're getting big

0:07:49.320 --> 0:07:53.440
<v Speaker 3>crossover events. Shortly, I was like, Okay, he's crying in

0:07:53.480 --> 0:07:56.480
<v Speaker 3>the thing we see in the Deadpool Wolverine movie. Maybe

0:07:56.520 --> 0:07:58.640
<v Speaker 3>maybe he is coming to an end, and you know what,

0:07:58.680 --> 0:08:00.559
<v Speaker 3>that's okay. Chris has given us a lot of time

0:08:00.640 --> 0:08:05.200
<v Speaker 3>with this character. And also so I'm of two minds. One,

0:08:05.760 --> 0:08:07.480
<v Speaker 3>it's totally fine if you want to leave, Chris, you

0:08:07.480 --> 0:08:10.800
<v Speaker 3>were one of the best iconic role really nailed it.

0:08:10.840 --> 0:08:12.480
<v Speaker 3>Took you some time, but once you figured it out,

0:08:12.480 --> 0:08:15.760
<v Speaker 3>wow spectacular. The other mine is Disney is a vampire

0:08:15.760 --> 0:08:18.120
<v Speaker 3>and it's never letting go of anybody. Apparently everyone is

0:08:18.120 --> 0:08:20.000
<v Speaker 3>available to come back at any time. Do we have

0:08:20.080 --> 0:08:22.280
<v Speaker 3>to ever really truly say goodbye? It seems silly at

0:08:22.320 --> 0:08:24.600
<v Speaker 3>this point. I know that even if Chris leaves in

0:08:24.600 --> 0:08:26.640
<v Speaker 3>twenty years, they'll be like, we got him back. Guys,

0:08:26.680 --> 0:08:28.040
<v Speaker 3>don't even worry about it.

0:08:28.040 --> 0:08:32.240
<v Speaker 2>You can have more. We found another universe. Don't even worry.

0:08:32.679 --> 0:08:36.040
<v Speaker 3>Like it's change, it's weird, it's goofy. But it was

0:08:36.080 --> 0:08:37.120
<v Speaker 3>a lovely tribute.

0:08:37.960 --> 0:08:39.200
<v Speaker 1>It was a lovely tribute.

0:08:39.240 --> 0:08:40.120
<v Speaker 2>What is happening?

0:08:40.120 --> 0:08:43.319
<v Speaker 1>Because you know, here's the other thing. Disney is not

0:08:43.360 --> 0:08:49.920
<v Speaker 1>gonna let Chris Hemsworth drop anything about their IP without

0:08:50.000 --> 0:08:52.800
<v Speaker 1>there being something behind it or getting the okay, so

0:08:53.720 --> 0:09:00.640
<v Speaker 1>what this bodes tbd? But it's something something. Oh yeah,

0:09:00.760 --> 0:09:04.760
<v Speaker 1>let's take a quick break. We'll be back with more.

0:09:14.400 --> 0:09:16.640
<v Speaker 2>And where we're at. Georgia R.

0:09:16.679 --> 0:09:21.080
<v Speaker 1>Martin is being bullied what is why? On his blog

0:09:21.160 --> 0:09:26.160
<v Speaker 1>not a blog. Recently, George was promoting a new animated

0:09:26.160 --> 0:09:30.720
<v Speaker 1>feature that is on the way from the studio Lion

0:09:30.880 --> 0:09:36.160
<v Speaker 1>Forge with writing by him, adapting stories with writing adaptions

0:09:36.280 --> 0:09:41.839
<v Speaker 1>by him, And in this blog he mentions that people

0:09:41.880 --> 0:09:43.480
<v Speaker 1>are going to be mad at him for not working

0:09:43.520 --> 0:09:46.559
<v Speaker 1>on Wins of Winner quote. I know, I know, some

0:09:46.600 --> 0:09:48.440
<v Speaker 1>of you will be pissed off by this, as you

0:09:48.480 --> 0:09:50.800
<v Speaker 1>are by everything I announce here that is not about

0:09:50.840 --> 0:09:53.160
<v Speaker 1>Westrus or the Wins of Winter. You have given up

0:09:53.160 --> 0:09:55.240
<v Speaker 1>on me or on the book. I will never finish

0:09:55.320 --> 0:09:57.160
<v Speaker 1>Wins if I do. I will never finish a dream

0:09:57.200 --> 0:09:58.880
<v Speaker 1>of spring. If I do, it won't be any good.

0:09:59.080 --> 0:10:00.679
<v Speaker 1>I had to get some other right to pinch hit

0:10:00.679 --> 0:10:02.480
<v Speaker 1>for me. I'm gonna die soon anyway, because I'm so

0:10:02.559 --> 0:10:06.320
<v Speaker 1>old lost the interested Song of Ice and Fire decades ago,

0:10:06.960 --> 0:10:07.760
<v Speaker 1>and he goes.

0:10:07.559 --> 0:10:08.200
<v Speaker 4>On and on and on.

0:10:09.080 --> 0:10:14.839
<v Speaker 1>Listen. We have talked here about things that ways that

0:10:14.920 --> 0:10:19.840
<v Speaker 1>this property could finish. But one thing that is I

0:10:19.840 --> 0:10:22.040
<v Speaker 1>think we've been clear about. And if not, I want

0:10:22.040 --> 0:10:24.920
<v Speaker 1>to reiterate, George is done enough. The world's create that

0:10:24.960 --> 0:10:29.080
<v Speaker 1>he's created is so vital and rich and detailed, with

0:10:29.160 --> 0:10:31.400
<v Speaker 1>the history that goes back thousands of years that you

0:10:31.400 --> 0:10:34.160
<v Speaker 1>can examine almost on a year to year basis, that

0:10:34.640 --> 0:10:39.040
<v Speaker 1>just that is a huge contribution to sci fi storytelling,

0:10:39.120 --> 0:10:43.160
<v Speaker 1>to excuse me, to fantasy storytelling, to fantasy literature, and

0:10:43.520 --> 0:10:46.880
<v Speaker 1>has been hugely influential to many storytellers coming up in

0:10:46.960 --> 0:10:52.280
<v Speaker 1>his way. Don't if you have stuff gripes that you're

0:10:52.320 --> 0:10:55.680
<v Speaker 1>griping within the community to each other about things. Yeah,

0:10:55.679 --> 0:10:59.520
<v Speaker 1>that's fine, don't direct those to George.

0:10:59.520 --> 0:11:05.559
<v Speaker 2>He's done enough. We don't go leave him alone. He's trying.

0:11:06.440 --> 0:11:11.080
<v Speaker 1>He's trying, you know, like any kind of things you

0:11:11.080 --> 0:11:14.360
<v Speaker 1>need to tell you want to discuss your frustrations.

0:11:13.640 --> 0:11:15.880
<v Speaker 2>About that, Yeah, do that, but don't don't.

0:11:15.640 --> 0:11:17.160
<v Speaker 1>Direct them to George.

0:11:17.840 --> 0:11:20.359
<v Speaker 2>I have two notes. So I know too many.

0:11:21.880 --> 0:11:28.200
<v Speaker 3>Very successful in the spotlight performers, creators who can't help themselves,

0:11:28.400 --> 0:11:32.000
<v Speaker 3>but tiptoe into reddits and onto the twitters and stuff,

0:11:32.040 --> 0:11:34.120
<v Speaker 3>and they're like, what are people saying? So George, I

0:11:34.240 --> 0:11:36.600
<v Speaker 3>just first like say, if you're doing this, don't do that, buddy,

0:11:36.679 --> 0:11:40.360
<v Speaker 3>that's not fun for anybody. Stay off the reddit. But two, yeah,

0:11:40.480 --> 0:11:42.840
<v Speaker 3>going directly to George's is dumb. The man gets to

0:11:42.840 --> 0:11:46.320
<v Speaker 3>make his own choices. He's incredibly creative, and well he's

0:11:46.360 --> 0:11:48.160
<v Speaker 3>doing that. I think a lot of people don't really

0:11:48.200 --> 0:11:50.959
<v Speaker 3>acknowledge it. He supports so many fantasy writers. But if

0:11:50.960 --> 0:11:54.800
<v Speaker 3>he lends his name to whatever project exactly, and that

0:11:54.840 --> 0:11:56.760
<v Speaker 3>can only be good for us as like a fantasy

0:11:56.760 --> 0:11:57.680
<v Speaker 3>loving community.

0:11:57.720 --> 0:12:00.840
<v Speaker 2>So that's really beautiful of him. I will all so say.

0:12:02.080 --> 0:12:04.440
<v Speaker 3>I get listen because the Boks we're not finished. We

0:12:04.480 --> 0:12:06.080
<v Speaker 3>got the ending of Game of Thrones that we got,

0:12:06.280 --> 0:12:08.679
<v Speaker 3>and I just feel like on some level we are, like,

0:12:08.720 --> 0:12:11.760
<v Speaker 3>it's very challenging as fans who love the series, and

0:12:12.120 --> 0:12:14.600
<v Speaker 3>if you've ever do you know how many trilogies dualogy

0:12:14.600 --> 0:12:16.040
<v Speaker 3>where I'm like, I have to wait how long for

0:12:16.080 --> 0:12:18.600
<v Speaker 3>the book? I what happens to these characters I've grown

0:12:18.600 --> 0:12:21.440
<v Speaker 3>connected to and love. So I totally hear fans being like,

0:12:21.480 --> 0:12:23.720
<v Speaker 3>this is exhausting. I don't want to hear about another title.

0:12:23.760 --> 0:12:26.480
<v Speaker 3>I'm ready to go. But I also think this is

0:12:26.679 --> 0:12:29.280
<v Speaker 3>a living human being who's given us so so so

0:12:29.400 --> 0:12:32.280
<v Speaker 3>much to him to his face, please just be gracious

0:12:32.320 --> 0:12:34.040
<v Speaker 3>and have gratitude, like we're very lucky.

0:12:35.080 --> 0:12:41.280
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, we're absolutely appreciative here and extra vision, and we

0:12:41.320 --> 0:12:44.200
<v Speaker 1>are very fortunate to live in the world that he

0:12:44.240 --> 0:12:48.400
<v Speaker 1>also lives in. Up next, in kind of associated George R.

0:12:48.400 --> 0:12:52.480
<v Speaker 1>Martin News, let's bring in our resident Night Ring Lover

0:12:53.160 --> 0:12:56.560
<v Speaker 1>super producer Aaron to talk about the new elden Ring

0:12:57.160 --> 0:13:02.680
<v Speaker 1>Night Rain edition who trailer just recently dropped.

0:13:03.160 --> 0:13:07.080
<v Speaker 4>That's right, the final trailer for night Rain dropped earlier

0:13:07.120 --> 0:13:12.480
<v Speaker 4>this week, set to classic classic song, a Banger, Evanescence,

0:13:12.480 --> 0:13:14.400
<v Speaker 4>bring Me to Life. Now those three.

0:13:14.280 --> 0:13:16.600
<v Speaker 1>Other songs that they do you think that they considered

0:13:16.640 --> 0:13:18.600
<v Speaker 1>because I feel like they just kind of were like, just.

0:13:18.520 --> 0:13:19.360
<v Speaker 2>Do bring me to Life?

0:13:19.480 --> 0:13:21.920
<v Speaker 4>Then I think they were like, we got two finalists,

0:13:21.920 --> 0:13:23.600
<v Speaker 4>it's it takes two to make the thing go right

0:13:23.720 --> 0:13:29.800
<v Speaker 4>or bring me to Life, and they decided on So

0:13:30.000 --> 0:13:32.760
<v Speaker 4>this trailer is like an anime music video. Basically, there's

0:13:32.800 --> 0:13:36.280
<v Speaker 4>no it's just the song and footage from the game

0:13:36.360 --> 0:13:40.079
<v Speaker 4>that looks amazing and as well put together. They're Boston Fandragons,

0:13:40.400 --> 0:13:43.679
<v Speaker 4>it's set to like the lyrics when they hit are

0:13:43.720 --> 0:13:45.920
<v Speaker 4>when you know bring Me to Life is when the

0:13:46.120 --> 0:13:50.559
<v Speaker 4>character raises the spirits to help them fight. This feels

0:13:51.080 --> 0:13:55.320
<v Speaker 4>like fans are loving this, whether that is because of

0:13:55.520 --> 0:13:58.280
<v Speaker 4>the recent rise in popularity of this song thanks to

0:13:58.320 --> 0:14:03.240
<v Speaker 4>Nathan Fielder unclear. Bandy namco representatives did say Nathan had

0:14:03.320 --> 0:14:06.160
<v Speaker 4>nothing to do with this trailer soundtrack, so he did

0:14:06.160 --> 0:14:09.760
<v Speaker 4>not come in to advise on it. But in honor

0:14:09.920 --> 0:14:12.720
<v Speaker 4>of this, I would like to make a proposal of

0:14:13.640 --> 0:14:16.200
<v Speaker 4>more new metal songs in video game trailers. So I

0:14:16.280 --> 0:14:17.640
<v Speaker 4>just want to pitch a couple of things to the

0:14:17.679 --> 0:14:20.040
<v Speaker 4>two of you. You let me know if this works

0:14:20.040 --> 0:14:23.800
<v Speaker 4>for you or not. So my first one, I think

0:14:24.000 --> 0:14:26.640
<v Speaker 4>you know New Mario Kart World. Everyone's excited and tend

0:14:26.640 --> 0:14:29.680
<v Speaker 4>to switch to set it to Olympus get rolling boom

0:14:30.040 --> 0:14:35.080
<v Speaker 4>it number two, number two, the Last of Us. I

0:14:35.120 --> 0:14:36.520
<v Speaker 4>don't know if this is Last of Us one or

0:14:36.600 --> 0:14:38.760
<v Speaker 4>Last of Us two or Jason's proposal of Last of

0:14:38.840 --> 0:14:43.600
<v Speaker 4>Us three. All about the infected boom trailer set to

0:14:43.800 --> 0:14:47.040
<v Speaker 4>disturbed down with the Sickness. Number three, the game that

0:14:47.120 --> 0:14:49.880
<v Speaker 4>I think I've probably the most kills that everyone does.

0:14:49.920 --> 0:14:52.600
<v Speaker 4>We're not all, you know, good at this game, but

0:14:52.640 --> 0:14:55.440
<v Speaker 4>there are lots of kills in this game Halo. Instead

0:14:55.440 --> 0:15:00.440
<v Speaker 4>of those those operatic vocals, Trailer hits Boom drowning, Let

0:15:00.480 --> 0:15:04.040
<v Speaker 4>the bodies hit the floor. Next up Fallout. You know

0:15:04.160 --> 0:15:07.640
<v Speaker 4>this is like a nuclear wasteland trailer hits for the

0:15:07.960 --> 0:15:10.800
<v Speaker 4>next fallout or a remake system of a down toxicity.

0:15:11.040 --> 0:15:13.840

0:15:27.600 --> 0:15:32.040
<v Speaker 4>the cute little Pokemon trailer hits, boom Nickelback photograph and

0:15:32.480 --> 0:15:37.360
<v Speaker 4>Minecraft Minecraft get Out, Please say so. Elden Ring Night

0:15:37.440 --> 0:15:42.040
<v Speaker 4>Rain is incredibly fun. It is a Souls like roguelike,

0:15:42.360 --> 0:15:47.520
<v Speaker 4>mostly multiplayer game, third person enemy mobs, loot, roaming, bosses,

0:15:47.560 --> 0:15:50.880
<v Speaker 4>and environmental events. It is a meant to be like

0:15:50.920 --> 0:15:53.560
<v Speaker 4>played in forty minute chunks, so it does not have

0:15:53.600 --> 0:15:57.040
<v Speaker 4>the contemplative nature that previous Souls like have. It is

0:15:57.640 --> 0:15:59.960
<v Speaker 4>like you drop in and it is a frantic run.

0:16:00.200 --> 0:16:03.400
<v Speaker 4>You have to go find items fine souls to level up,

0:16:03.440 --> 0:16:05.560
<v Speaker 4>and then at the end you fight a boss. On

0:16:05.640 --> 0:16:07.760
<v Speaker 4>day one. If you survive day one, you go into

0:16:07.840 --> 0:16:10.600
<v Speaker 4>day two do the same thing. It's a smaller map

0:16:10.640 --> 0:16:12.440
<v Speaker 4>than elden Ring, which had a huge map. But this

0:16:12.560 --> 0:16:15.720
<v Speaker 4>is a smaller map, but because things are randomized within it,

0:16:15.800 --> 0:16:19.160
<v Speaker 4>I didn't I played three runs this morning and it

0:16:19.280 --> 0:16:22.600
<v Speaker 4>didn't feel too small by any means. I never crossed

0:16:22.600 --> 0:16:25.120
<v Speaker 4>over the entire map in a single playthrough, which was good.

0:16:25.360 --> 0:16:27.600
<v Speaker 4>I will say the game is forty dollars. It is

0:16:27.640 --> 0:16:30.480
<v Speaker 4>not your typical like sixty or eighty dollars game right

0:16:30.480 --> 0:16:34.360
<v Speaker 4>now on launch day today, over two million players already. Damn.

0:16:34.640 --> 0:16:37.320
<v Speaker 4>I will say. Reviews on Steam are mixed, mostly because

0:16:37.360 --> 0:16:41.360
<v Speaker 4>people are complaining the game doesn't have good balance for

0:16:41.480 --> 0:16:45.680
<v Speaker 4>solo play. There's not really strong duo support, and there's

0:16:45.720 --> 0:16:47.760
<v Speaker 4>no voice chat, so when you're trying to coordinate with

0:16:47.800 --> 0:16:49.840
<v Speaker 4>the other people, you can't talk to them unless you're

0:16:49.880 --> 0:16:52.480
<v Speaker 4>like friends with them on PlayStation and you already are

0:16:52.480 --> 0:16:54.000
<v Speaker 4>in a group of or Discord or something.

0:16:54.080 --> 0:16:54.320
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:16:54.480 --> 0:16:58.120
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, so it is a lot of fun. But reach out,

0:16:58.440 --> 0:16:59.760
<v Speaker 4>you know, if you're on Discord and you want someone

0:16:59.760 --> 0:17:01.480
<v Speaker 4>to play with, let me know, because I'll be I'll

0:17:01.480 --> 0:17:03.120
<v Speaker 4>be jumping into the night rain ring.
