25
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:43,560
Speaker 5: slowed down, almost interpolated version of the John Williams classic

26
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:46,480
Speaker 5: Superman theme, So I think that's interesting.

27
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:50,200
Speaker 6: The tagline is look up, which I like.

28
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 5: It feels kind of hopeful, but yeah, this is a classic.

29
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:56,760
Speaker 5: It's just it's a poster and that's telling you when

30
00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:57,920

31
00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 6: I'm excited to see the trailer. I want to know

32
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:01,480
Speaker 6: what's going on with this movie.

33
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:03,680
Speaker 5: They've kept it pretty under wraps, so it's going to

34
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:06,280
Speaker 5: be exciting to check it out.

35
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 3: Next up, Craven The Hunter Boo Craven the Hunter spider

36
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:18,800
Speaker 3: Man spin off starring the ab laden Aaron Taylor Johnson.

37
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 7: He was cop, he was a mister.

38
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:25,639
Speaker 3: He's looking very vascular in this role where he plays

39
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:33,560
Speaker 3: Spiderman's notorious hunter loving foe. Craven is Bad and it

40
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:38,000
Speaker 3: is currently bombing to an insane degree in the box

41
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:44,960
Speaker 3: office eleven dollars over its opening weekend in three thousand

42
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:49,560
Speaker 3: over three thousand theaters. This folks is setting a new

43
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:54,720
Speaker 3: record for spider Bombs. Coming quite below this year is

44
00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 3: Madam Webb, which came in at fifteen point three million

45
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:02,440
Speaker 3: over a weekend. It has a unbelievably bad fifteen percent

46
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:07,880
Speaker 3: Rotten Tomatoes score Rush Tomatos see grade on Cinema score,

47
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:11,080
Speaker 3: which makes you feel like the Sony marketing department is

48
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:16,080
Speaker 3: working hard. Pump that thing up, folks, Uh, Rosie and Joelle.

49
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:22,240
Speaker 3: You've seen mister Johnson and his craven unbelievable, you know,

50
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:27,720
Speaker 3: like cheese greater abs in this film, tell us your thoughts.

51
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:29,640
Speaker 4: Not enough abs, no.

52
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 3: More abs, beats more abs.

53
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:34,840
Speaker 4: He had plenty, they did not show them off enough.

54
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:36,960
Speaker 4: You would actually be.

55
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 5: Surprised at how little he is in this movie. He

56
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 5: is actually like they tried to beat ole juice him.

57
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:45,320
Speaker 5: I think he's probably only in like an hour of

58
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:49,480
Speaker 5: this two hour movie. There's like a thirty minute flashback.

59
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 5: The whole thing is a mess.

60
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 4: But.

61
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 5: It was funny because like one, there's so many random

62
00:03:57,440 --> 00:03:58,160
Speaker 5: Spider Man.

63
00:03:58,040 --> 00:03:59,160
Speaker 6: References in this movie that.

64
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:02,760
Speaker 5: Like, oh my god, the doctor in New York Miles Warren.

65
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:05,200
Speaker 5: I'm like, oh yeah, well, the Jackal fans out there

66
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:08,680
Speaker 5: going crazy for that one. And then there is also

67
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 5: just like the dialogue is so impossibly bad there there

68
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:16,960
Speaker 5: really is a line where one character says.

69
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:19,240
Speaker 6: My grandma died and I never saw her again.

70
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:21,599
Speaker 5: After that, it's like, babe, of course you didn't. She

71
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:24,480
Speaker 5: was dead, Like what what did you think was gonna happen?

72
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 5: And yeah, I mean it was hilarious because also like

73
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:34,479
Speaker 5: the guy from Gladiator to Fred Heshinger, he plays the

74
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:39,159
Speaker 5: in this Craven's brother who becomes the chameleon. Sure, but

75
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:41,040
Speaker 5: the who way through the movie he just keeps being like,

76
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 5: I'm a chameleon.

77
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:43,160
Speaker 6: Everyone always.

78
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:47,760
Speaker 5: Everyone always say like I'm a cameleo because and you

79
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:49,880
Speaker 5: want to know, you want to know. They basically make

80
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 5: him like he's like an He's like an Ariana Grande

81
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:56,680
Speaker 5: style like song impersonator. Like they just have him like

82
00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:59,280
Speaker 5: singing different types of songs. They'll be like any here

83
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:02,120
Speaker 5: he is singing Tony Bennett, Harry Is. I was like,

84
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 5: is this while you're going with this?

85
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:06,279
Speaker 6: I don't know. It was a hot mess. It actually dragged.

86
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:07,800
Speaker 8: It's almost two and a half hours long.

87
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:08,599
Speaker 6: There's a night a.

88
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:14,520
Speaker 5: Minute, but probably yes, Jason's two and a half hours and.

89
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:15,960
Speaker 4: You feel it.

90
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 5: It is bad And also like if you are a

91
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:22,680
Speaker 5: fan of Calypso, very interesting complex character in the comics.

92
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:27,479
Speaker 5: They absolutely just flob her hair with Oscar winner Arianna

93
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:32,679
Speaker 5: de bos. Also, they do actually see gi her mouth

94
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:33,279
Speaker 5: at one.

95
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:38,440
Speaker 4: Point there is in this film is insane. Not only

96
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:41,479
Speaker 4: do they ai her mouth at one point with a

97
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:44,000
Speaker 4: character she has no One of the characters power sets

98
00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:46,760
Speaker 4: is that he counts and maybe shifts time, maybe is

99
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:49,400
Speaker 4: moving through it quickly. You're very confused. All the power

100
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:52,640
Speaker 4: sets are confusing. Is craven doctor Doolittle too, You're not

101
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:57,040
Speaker 4: really sure. They always may show up when he needs them,

102
00:05:57,040 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 4: but he's never actually having a conversation or making noises.

103
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:04,320
Speaker 4: It's so no bizarre, but are like Calypso is like

104
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:07,359
Speaker 4: winds up counting with a character she's never met and

105
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:10,360
Speaker 4: gives her best Aamuel L. Jackson impression of three motherfuckers,

106
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:13,280
Speaker 4: and I was like, this iscist, what are we doing?

107
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:18,440
Speaker 5: It does have some very questionable kind of like law

108
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:21,560
Speaker 5: that they inserted, like with voodoo magic and they go

109
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:24,560
Speaker 5: to Ghana and they don't know what they're doing. And

110
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:26,920
Speaker 5: also the thing that made me laugh the most that

111
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:29,280
Speaker 5: by the end I was like dying every time they

112
00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:31,880
Speaker 5: did it. These people could not commit to a like

113
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:35,000
Speaker 5: specific location to save their life. So every single time

114
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:38,680
Speaker 5: it changes location, they're just like northern Russia, somewhere in

115
00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:39,560
Speaker 5: upstate New York.

116
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:42,480
Speaker 6: It's like around England, and.

117
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:44,400
Speaker 5: You're just like, guys, could you just say one city

118
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:46,320
Speaker 5: that they're actually in? Like I beg you, this is

119
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:49,400
Speaker 5: like it was so funny, but I will say enjoyable

120
00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:52,480
Speaker 5: cinema experience if you like to laugh at a bad movie.

121
00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:54,799
Speaker 4: Which animal maulings both shot pretty decently.

122
00:06:55,160 --> 00:07:00,359
Speaker 3: I am just confused. I'm confused because like Sony makes

123
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:04,600
Speaker 3: good animated Spider Man movies clearly right, like very good, beautiful.

124
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:06,880
Speaker 3: I think at some point they'd be like, hey, guys,

125
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:10,960
Speaker 3: anybody that's worked on those films, why don't you come

126
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:13,560
Speaker 3: over and help us with our live actions imagine stuff,

127
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 3: because we've now made what like five six really really terrible, uh,

128
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:25,080
Speaker 3: some legendarily terrible like live action movies, including Madam Webb,

129
00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:31,320
Speaker 3: The Utterly Horrific and Forgettable Let There Be Carnage morebius,

130
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:35,920
Speaker 3: like how can this keep happening? And this movie is

131
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:40,320
Speaker 3: directed by J. C. Chandor, who, as we've stated in

132
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:44,800
Speaker 3: past the past episodes, is like a is good. It's

133
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:47,840
Speaker 3: like a really good director and really good actually.

134
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:50,000
Speaker 6: Like a law of really serious movies.

135
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:51,160
Speaker 7: So I'm just confusing.

136
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:53,080
Speaker 4: It has to be a producer problem from the top

137
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:58,040
Speaker 4: because there's not a talent. There's no attention to detail,

138
00:07:58,040 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 4: and I think what's most disappointing is like you don't

139
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:02,840
Speaker 4: understand these characters at all. So people took away like, oh,

140
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:05,280
Speaker 4: you can't have a Craven movie if there's no Spider Man,

141
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:07,280
Speaker 4: like he must be a mirror to Spider Man, And well,

142
00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:09,200
Speaker 4: I hear that, and maybe that is the lesson we

143
00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:11,000
Speaker 4: should be taking away. I don't necessarily, but I think

144
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:14,360
Speaker 4: every character could have there, Like the story is good,

145
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:17,040
Speaker 4: I agree, And they tried to make all these characters

146
00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:20,720
Speaker 4: Spider Man and be Quippi like we all have seen, Like,

147
00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:23,160
Speaker 4: does Craven seem like a Quipper to you? It's weird?

148
00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:23,560
Speaker 3: No.

149
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:27,400
Speaker 5: Also as well, I will say, there is a glimpse

150
00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:29,880
Speaker 5: when the movie opens. It's like an eight minute scene

151
00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:33,160
Speaker 5: where he breaks into a prison in Siberia or in

152
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:36,560
Speaker 5: Russia somewhere because you never know, I don't know that

153
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:39,920
Speaker 5: to like kill a guy, right, and you're like, Okay,

154
00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:44,839
Speaker 5: this is actually like interesting and the action is good,

155
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:47,920
Speaker 5: and then they cut to this thirty minute you know,

156
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:51,520
Speaker 5: flashback scene, and the just whole moviees derailed. So I

157
00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:53,240
Speaker 5: think there's a version where if they'd have just like

158
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:56,640
Speaker 5: trusted in making it a really gory, brute or action

159
00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:58,560
Speaker 5: movie and it was like a ninety minute movie of

160
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:01,400
Speaker 5: just Craven killing a bun for people, that would have

161
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:04,120
Speaker 5: actually been like kind of cool and maybe a bit

162
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:05,920
Speaker 5: more of like a cult kind of hit.

163
00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:09,400
Speaker 3: I don't write the A Punisher kind of take on it,

164
00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:13,320
Speaker 3: you know exactly. I will just let's put the call

00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:24,120
Speaker 3: honestly and just gossip with us about how this.

168
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:28,600
Speaker 4: We want to know, did you make Craven's Jacket.

169
00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:33,200
Speaker 3: I understand making like a couple bad movies, but making

170
00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:36,600
Speaker 3: basically only.

171
00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:37,959
Speaker 4: Bad live action.

172
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:42,679
Speaker 3: Spider Man movies is crazy, and I don't understand how

173
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:45,600
Speaker 3: it happens. So please reach out to us and give

174
00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:47,480
Speaker 3: us give us. We need to love to hear.

175
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:51,440
Speaker 5: It, especially especially because the current reporting is saying at

176
00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:53,599
Speaker 5: any point Sony could have made Tom Holden be in

177
00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:56,320
Speaker 5: these movies like FIGI didn't even ban him from being

178
00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:58,960
Speaker 5: in them. So there's many questions and we want you

179
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:01,120
Speaker 5: to answer them to loss.

180
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:03,880
Speaker 3: Next up, Lord of the Rings, War of the Roha

181
00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:08,040
Speaker 3: Reem is also bombing. It's a double bomb weekend at

182
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:09,319
Speaker 3: the theater, Double bom weekend.

183
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:09,679
Speaker 5: Baby.

184
00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:14,040
Speaker 3: You know, this is a cheap, fast tracked movie by

185
00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:19,360
Speaker 3: New Line and really was only put onto a production

186
00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:23,280
Speaker 3: track because New Line needed to keep the rights to

187
00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:26,079
Speaker 3: Lord of the Rings. Like so, I mean, if you

188
00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:27,960
Speaker 3: want to know why this movie is not doing well

189
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:31,480
Speaker 3: and is kind of bad with uneven animation and it

190
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:33,920
Speaker 3: doesn't make any sense that it's out it's because the

191
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:37,120
Speaker 3: only reason it exists is because Newline wanted to keep

192
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:39,280
Speaker 3: the rights to Lord of the to Lord of the

193
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:40,800
Speaker 3: Rings so they could continue to make Lord of the

194
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:43,040
Speaker 3: Rings movies. That's the only reason in this movie is

195
00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:45,840
Speaker 3: out there, and it's it's bombing.

196
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:48,160
Speaker 5: Four point six million.

197
00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:52,280
Speaker 3: That's crazy, that's like, that's an unbelievably low amount of

198
00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:55,080
Speaker 3: money for an ip that is, you know, one of

199
00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:57,600
Speaker 3: the I think one of the biggest hockey's out there.

200
00:10:58,520 --> 00:10:59,959
Speaker 6: Just put it straight to stream.

201
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:02,760
Speaker 3: I have to say that. I think I think because

202
00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:06,440
Speaker 3: get totally because they don't keep the rights.

203
00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:08,080
Speaker 5: I didn't think it was like I watch a lot

204
00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:09,840
Speaker 5: of anime. I felt like it was on par with

205
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:11,960
Speaker 5: a lot of kind of mid anime. But I did

206
00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:14,640
Speaker 5: think that the world was interesting. But yeah, I mean,

207
00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:17,199
Speaker 5: this is unbelievable. They should have at least been able

208
00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:19,440
Speaker 5: to open this to twenty mil if they'd just put

209
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:22,000
Speaker 5: a little bit into the marketing or kind of found

210
00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:25,720
Speaker 5: its space, especially in a world where big anime movies

211
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:28,360
Speaker 5: like you know, Jiu Jitsu Kais and Dragon ball Z,

212
00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:31,160
Speaker 5: like those kind of franchises can open to like a

213
00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:32,880
Speaker 5: lot of money. Now, I think this was a miss

214
00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:36,319
Speaker 5: for Warner Brothers, both content wise but also marketing wise,

215
00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:38,560
Speaker 5: because you can market a movie that's not great and

216
00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:39,560
Speaker 5: make people go see it.

217
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:41,880
Speaker 6: But yeah, four point six million, that's an ouch.

218
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:44,120
Speaker 5: But you know what, guys, don't worry because it's still

219
00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:46,920
Speaker 5: a very big box office weekend thanks to Moana and Wicked,

220
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:49,320
Speaker 5: who I think made it almost one hundred million dollar

221
00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:52,040
Speaker 5: weekend just from those two movies this weekend.

222
00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:52,680
Speaker 6: So good for them.

223
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:55,640
Speaker 5: Go girls, girl power, girls, get it done, all that

224
00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:56,280
Speaker 5: kind of stuff.

225
00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:58,479
Speaker 3: All right, up next, we stepping out of the airline.

226
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:20,079
Speaker 1: Without further Ado. Let's jump right in. Let's start with

227
00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:20,560
Speaker 1: the latro.

228
00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:23,760
Speaker 4: Okay, guys, can you tell me what makes this game sensational?

229
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:26,240
Speaker 4: Because I was looking. I haven't played Platro full disclosure,

230
00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:29,640
Speaker 4: but I did see it's a single developer, it's a

231
00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:32,440
Speaker 4: card game. They've got a cute little jester mask scot.

232
00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:33,760
Speaker 4: Why should I play this game?

233
00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:37,560
Speaker 2: So, Rosie, you and I have both played this, How

234
00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:39,320
Speaker 2: would you respond to you out with that?

235
00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:42,080
Speaker 5: I would say, if you used to like playing like

236
00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:46,280
Speaker 5: Solitaire on your computers, that you're like nowadays there's five

237
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:49,760
Speaker 5: million games. Why would I play a card game on

238
00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:52,880
Speaker 5: a console like a Steam deck or a switch or

239
00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:55,600
Speaker 5: PC or whatever, or your phone? Well, this is like

240
00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:58,800
Speaker 5: the most addicting game. I would also say, it's basically

241
00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:01,800
Speaker 5: Aaron put it best in our script, which is like

242
00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:07,280
Speaker 5: poker with deck building, and it's just incredibly easy to play.

243
00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:09,680
Speaker 5: I was worried I wouldn't understand it or there would

244
00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:11,959
Speaker 5: be stuff that I didn't know because I'm not very

245
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:15,400
Speaker 5: good at Like the most extensive deck building game I

246
00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:18,520
Speaker 5: ever played was like an adventure time deck building game

247
00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:22,280
Speaker 5: that they used to have years ago on the phone.

248
00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:24,960
Speaker 5: But you really just need to like understand poker. I

249
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:27,480
Speaker 5: will also say something I think is really interesting is

250
00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:30,880
Speaker 5: I was on a plane yesterday from Copenhagen to la

251
00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:34,880
Speaker 5: and there were multiple people on the plane who true.

252
00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:37,400
Speaker 5: There was a guy sitting next to me playing it,

253
00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:39,880
Speaker 5: there was someone playing on their phone. I think that

254
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:42,760
Speaker 5: shows that it has really grown out. I was rooting

255
00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:44,280
Speaker 5: for this for Game of the Year because I do

256
00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:48,200
Speaker 5: think that mobile gaming should be more recognized. This is

257
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:51,600
Speaker 5: not an endorsement of you know, Kim Kardashian's mobile game,

258
00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:54,200
Speaker 5: but for a long time that mobile game was the

259
00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:57,600
Speaker 5: biggest selling game on Earth, like selling more than Call

260
00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:00,160
Speaker 5: of Duty, making more money than Call of Duty. So

261
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:02,440
Speaker 5: I think that we are in a space where those

262
00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:03,800
Speaker 5: games are often overlooked.

263
00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:04,719
Speaker 6: And yeah, I just it.

264
00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:07,880
Speaker 5: But it is so addictive, Joel, and I specifically think

265
00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:11,920
Speaker 5: someone like you, someone who is like me and kind

266
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:14,640
Speaker 5: of gets really hyper fixated on things, I think it

267
00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:15,720
Speaker 5: will be dangerous for you.

268
00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:16,599
Speaker 4: Okay, good to know.

269
00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:19,360
Speaker 2: I'm gonna I'm gonna push back against you a little

270
00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:20,040
Speaker 2: bit here, Rosie.

271
00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:21,080
Speaker 4: So the game.

272
00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:25,440
Speaker 2: The game is available on console and recently became available

273
00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:28,280
Speaker 2: on iOS, so it is a mobile game technically.

274
00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:29,720
Speaker 7: Now I hate it.

275
00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:34,120
Speaker 6: I hate it's the mobile game is not the best

276
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:35,000
Speaker 6: version of the game.

277
00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:38,760
Speaker 2: But this game will consume your life. This game is addictive.

278
00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:41,480
Speaker 7: That's what I'm saying.

279
00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:45,320
Speaker 2: Do not load this game onto your phone. Okay, all right,

280
00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:48,720
Speaker 2: this game. This game is fast paced, but it's relaxing.

281
00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:54,200
Speaker 2: It hits incredibly well because it has big numbers that

282
00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:56,640
Speaker 2: get bigger and bigger and bigger. It is not a

283
00:14:57,200 --> 00:15:00,960
Speaker 2: It's not fast paced in terms of you quick reflexes.

284
00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:05,280
Speaker 2: You can sit and contemplate your moves. Every run feels

285
00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:08,680
Speaker 2: legitimately different. This is like a roguelike as well as

286
00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:11,000
Speaker 2: a deck building as well as poker. This game is

287
00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:13,840
Speaker 2: not to be trusted. You will play too much. Again

288
00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:16,840
Speaker 2: these do not download this game onto your phone.

289
00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:18,520
Speaker 7: I have this team on the switch.

290
00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:21,760
Speaker 5: Potentially could ruin your life on the phone under there.

291
00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:24,760
Speaker 7: Will be it is amazing this game.

292
00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:27,560
Speaker 2: Like yeah, you basically all you need to know going

293
00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:29,480
Speaker 2: into this is have the basic rules of poker, and

294
00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:31,320
Speaker 2: if you don't have them, the game will provide that

295
00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:31,720
Speaker 2: for you.

296
00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:33,440
Speaker 6: Yeah, I know, so you can just google it.

297
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:37,520
Speaker 2: You just acquire a couple joker cards which make macro

298
00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:40,280
Speaker 2: rule changes to the game itself. So basically you can

299
00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:42,640
Speaker 2: have a joker that's like anytime you play an even card,

300
00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:46,120
Speaker 2: double your points, or one that says a straight now

301
00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:50,640
Speaker 2: only takes four cards instead of five, or anytime you

302
00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:54,360
Speaker 2: play a face card you you get a gold coin, and.

303
00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:58,520
Speaker 5: Makes it feel like there are like infinite options.

304
00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:01,000
Speaker 6: Okay, it makes it feel like you don't get bored

305
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:01,240
Speaker 6: of it.

306
00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:03,960
Speaker 4: As somebody who wait too much time in the Yachtzi

307
00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:08,840
Speaker 4: mobile game, and I.

308
00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:11,400
Speaker 5: Was gonna say, if you're somebody who got addicted to

309
00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:14,640
Speaker 5: Monopoly go and spent too much time playing that, do

310
00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:15,600
Speaker 5: not download.

311
00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:17,120
Speaker 6: This to your friend because you'll probably lose your job.

312
00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:21,320
Speaker 2: Yes, as someone I know many people do not like

313
00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:24,920
Speaker 2: card games. They don't like deck building, they don't like roguelikes.

314
00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:27,600
Speaker 2: Don't let those things scare you off. There's it's a

315
00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:32,320
Speaker 2: very easy to learn and impossible to put down game.

316
00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:35,680
Speaker 2: So okay, as a fan of Slay the Spire, as

317
00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:38,160
Speaker 2: a fan of any of these sorts of games, it

318
00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:43,760
Speaker 2: is amazing. Next up, we've got the game that if

319
00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:46,960
Speaker 2: you want to live out your superhero dream, you should

320
00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:51,440
Speaker 2: play Marvel Rivals. And Jason, you've you've played a little

321
00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:52,520
Speaker 2: bit of Rivals, right.

322
00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:53,400
Speaker 8: I have.

323
00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:59,960
Speaker 3: Currently sitting as a silver two rank on Competitive Feel

324
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:02,800
Speaker 3: good about the climb? Did I move up the ladder?

325
00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:06,760
Speaker 2: Are you have you upgraded any skins to have a

326
00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:10,520
Speaker 2: different look for any of your characters yet I have?

327
00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:13,320
Speaker 6: I know you, I know you bought those quints.

328
00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:18,800
Speaker 3: Yeah I did. I got two Manta skins, including the

329
00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:21,200
Speaker 3: Guardians of the Galaxy Galaxy skin.

330
00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:23,600
Speaker 8: I got.

331
00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:28,800
Speaker 3: I bought a I bought the Rocket Raccoon Guardian skin.

332
00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:34,800
Speaker 3: I bought the Thor like young Thor skin. This is

333
00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:37,320
Speaker 3: I'm trying to remember if I bought anymore, because I

334
00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:38,880
Speaker 3: say I surely considered it.

335
00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:41,760
Speaker 6: I'm like, no Wolverine skin.

336
00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:45,200
Speaker 3: Oh, I bought the Luna Snow like cocktail gown, a

337
00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:51,879
Speaker 3: really cool like long gown skin, and who else? I

338
00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:54,240
Speaker 3: think that's it for now, But those are who? So

339
00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:58,040
Speaker 3: that's like who I'm really rocking with.

340
00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:00,840
Speaker 2: For anyone who has not, he says somehow been under

341
00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:03,280
Speaker 2: a rock and not seen anything about Marvel Rivals on

342
00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:07,480
Speaker 2: your social feeds, which seems pretty unlikely. Marvel Rivals is

343
00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:11,159
Speaker 2: a six v six hero shooter featuring currently featuring thirty

344
00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:14,000
Speaker 2: three different characters from the Marvel comics, as well as

345
00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:17,000
Speaker 2: Luna Snow, who's a brand new character created for the game.

346
00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:19,040
Speaker 2: You can be everyone.

347
00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:22,360
Speaker 3: She was created for a Korean mobile game, Oh oh

348
00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:26,000
Speaker 3: for this the cross those yeah, for a Korean mobile

349
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:28,960
Speaker 3: game like in twenty eighteen, and then has appeared in

350
00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:31,280
Speaker 3: a couple comics and those yeah in this game.

351
00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:32,399
Speaker 6: Oh that's rad.

352
00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:34,080
Speaker 7: Jason didn't realize that.

353
00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:37,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, we're at the end of the year, obviously. This

354
00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:39,879
Speaker 5: is our like recap of all the games, how we

355
00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:43,000
Speaker 5: feel about them. What is it for you that has

356
00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:48,040
Speaker 5: made Marvel Rivals kind of such a special, instantly addicting game.

357
00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:49,960
Speaker 5: That's kind of putting it up there with some of

358
00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:51,919
Speaker 5: with this crazy year we've had with gaming.

359
00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:55,920
Speaker 3: I think, you know, for me, I was an Overwatch person,

360
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:57,960
Speaker 3: so it makes sense. I like that kind of team

361
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:02,879
Speaker 3: based game with roles and the powers. You know that

362
00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:07,080
Speaker 3: the character models are awesome, the powers are fun. The

363
00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:09,840
Speaker 3: way the powers interact with each other are really fun,

364
00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:14,480
Speaker 3: and it's like there are just moments where you get

365
00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:18,879
Speaker 3: into a big fight and you really feel like, I

366
00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:21,679
Speaker 3: think this is what it would be like if you

367
00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:24,359
Speaker 3: were in the thing, you know, and Hulk is jumping

368
00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:28,200
Speaker 3: around and throwing Wolverine at Iron Man's like out there

369
00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:33,119
Speaker 3: and Wanda's going into a fugue state and melting like

370
00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:37,639
Speaker 3: five people. It's really fun. And again, as someone who

371
00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:43,320
Speaker 3: had lost their fast twitch nerve endings like several years ago,

372
00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:47,600
Speaker 3: I'm able to play roles that I feel like I

373
00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:53,600
Speaker 3: can be effective in Healer and Tank and I don't

374
00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:56,000
Speaker 3: have to be like the biggest killer out there, but

375
00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:58,919
Speaker 3: I can kind of manage the fight in ways that

376
00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:01,159
Speaker 3: feel strategic and I and I enjoy that. And then

377
00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:03,320
Speaker 3: there's you know, with the different power sets, there's really

378
00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:09,520
Speaker 3: interesting gameplays counters to powers. There's there's a level of

379
00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:12,280
Speaker 3: strategic play that's still developing because the game is so new,

380
00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:12,880
Speaker 3: and I find that.

381
00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:15,239
Speaker 2: Really fun and I thought it was interesting too. You

382
00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:18,880
Speaker 2: just mentioned of the skins that you bought three different

383
00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:21,919
Speaker 2: at least three different support characters. You mentioned Mantis, you

384
00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:25,520
Speaker 2: mentioned Rocket, and you mentioned Luna. So do you find

385
00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:31,120
Speaker 2: the characters within a certain role played drastically differently enough

386
00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:35,240
Speaker 2: that you, as someone who's played Overwatch, can enjoy Hey,

387
00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:37,720
Speaker 2: my games is Rocket, even though I'm a healer, feels

388
00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:40,160
Speaker 2: significantly different than my games as Mantis.

389
00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:42,199
Speaker 7: Oh, for sure, you have to.

390
00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:45,680
Speaker 3: You have to alter your gameplay depending on the kit

391
00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:49,240
Speaker 3: that each character is Mantis for instance. You know, I've

392
00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:52,960
Speaker 3: been looking at the various like character ranking videos that

393
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:55,000
Speaker 3: have come out since the game has been out from

394
00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:59,280
Speaker 3: different streamers, and I'm heartened to see that the eye

395
00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:01,399
Speaker 3: test for me, which says that Mantis is one of

396
00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:04,560
Speaker 3: the best, very best players in the game is has

397
00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:06,240
Speaker 3: been confirmed by a lot of the stream is. She's

398
00:21:06,359 --> 00:21:11,080
Speaker 3: just great as a support character. She has good offensive capabilities.

399
00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:16,199
Speaker 3: She has this sleep bomb that gives her good es capability.

400
00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:17,919
Speaker 3: If you get Dove in the back line by like,

401
00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:21,120
Speaker 3: I mean, iron Fist is a fucking menace right now

402
00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:25,320
Speaker 3: if you're a support character, and the ability to just

403
00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:28,760
Speaker 3: like drop a sleep bomb on him and get away

404
00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:35,359
Speaker 3: is really useful. You can boost the damage of several

405
00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:40,240
Speaker 3: players on a timer. So if you've got a Wolverine

406
00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:43,720
Speaker 3: or a Hella or a some other you know, like

407
00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:46,560
Speaker 3: an iron Fist diving into the back line, you can

408
00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:51,119
Speaker 3: boost their damage as they go in and rack up assists,

409
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:56,399
Speaker 3: which is super, super super useful. And the difference between

410
00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:59,160
Speaker 3: that and Rocket, who is more of a like standback

411
00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:03,160
Speaker 3: and like shoot at everybody and kind of bounce healing

412
00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:07,240
Speaker 3: around character is it's pretty drastic or a character like

413
00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:10,520
Speaker 3: Loki who has a really really strong power set but

414
00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:12,960
Speaker 3: not great mobility, and you have to kind of play

415
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:16,320
Speaker 3: in a more kind of sneaky way. The difference in

416
00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:18,560
Speaker 3: play styles is drastic and is part of what makes

417
00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:19,680
Speaker 3: it really fun.

418
00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:24,080
Speaker 2: And then I also feel like we've had we've had

419
00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:27,919
Speaker 2: a pretty steady draw at the game, Like I have

420
00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:30,359
Speaker 2: not seen a slowdown on social media about it. People

421
00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:32,800
Speaker 2: are still making funny videos like I'm still seeing so.

422
00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:33,800
Speaker 7: Many different je.

423
00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:39,800
Speaker 2: Do you think though, Will, Like you said you played Overwatch,

424
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:42,800
Speaker 2: you burned out on Overwatch. A lot of people burned

425
00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:45,040
Speaker 2: out on Overwatch, and granted that was many years, but

426
00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:50,840
Speaker 2: what do you think Rivals needs to go? Three months along?

427
00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:52,560
Speaker 2: And we're still really.

428
00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:57,679
Speaker 3: I think that so people. The one thing that you

429
00:22:57,720 --> 00:23:01,879
Speaker 3: can you feel like might be coming, particular for competitive

430
00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:04,439
Speaker 3: is like a role queue, which is that locks in

431
00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:07,800
Speaker 3: positions so you don't end up in these situations where

432
00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:11,639
Speaker 3: you've got like one healer and five duelists, you know,

433
00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:14,320
Speaker 3: and you're like you're just mantis back there trying to

434
00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:16,520
Speaker 3: heal everybody and you have no tank. So you could

435
00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:19,119
Speaker 3: see that coming. The drawback would be that you're going

436
00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:22,080
Speaker 3: to wait three four or five minutes for games sometimes because.

437
00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:22,399
Speaker 7: Right now.

438
00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:26,000
Speaker 9: You hit like just load.

439
00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:26,920
Speaker 5: Yeah.

440
00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:31,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, I will say one thing that a streamer that

441
00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:35,359
Speaker 3: I've overwatched, streamer that I follow named Flats is mainly

442
00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:38,439
Speaker 3: a tank Maine. He made a good point that was

443
00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:41,760
Speaker 3: like saying that that he hopes they don't put in

444
00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:44,119
Speaker 3: roll queue one because of the times to keep the

445
00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:46,400
Speaker 3: times fast, and two because as a team based game,

446
00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:48,640
Speaker 3: sometimes you have to take one for the team. Sometimes

447
00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:50,520
Speaker 3: you have to look at the team and say, Okay,

448
00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:52,840
Speaker 3: I need to play this. I don't want to, but

449
00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:55,040
Speaker 3: I have to because nobody else is going to do it.

450
00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:58,200
Speaker 5: And that's also how you get better at different roles.

451
00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:00,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, I kind of agree with that. Where it becomes

452
00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:04,879
Speaker 3: annoying is competitive where everybody's trying to climb the ladder

453
00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:06,800
Speaker 3: and you feel like the game actually matters, and that's

454
00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:08,719
Speaker 3: where things get toxic. And I can see them at

455
00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:12,280
Speaker 3: a roll Cube. So I think, like trying to figure

456
00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:14,800
Speaker 3: out how to keep games quick, how to get into

457
00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:16,560
Speaker 3: them fast, I think will be one of the things.

458
00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:20,159
Speaker 3: And then I think, don't like jump to balance the

459
00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:25,119
Speaker 3: game yet, because you know there's some ridiculous things like

460
00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:28,480
Speaker 3: why can iron fist like fly fifty feet into the air,

461
00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:32,359
Speaker 3: fucking iron Man. I don't understand it. It doesn't make sense,

462
00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:35,520
Speaker 3: like how can he perry Scarlet, which is like ultimate

463
00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:37,280
Speaker 3: Like there's a lot of things that don't make sense.

464
00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:40,160
Speaker 3: That said, I think the game is still so new,

465
00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:44,840
Speaker 3: and the fact that a lot of these characters seem

466
00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:48,320
Speaker 3: to have like game breaking like ultimates and powers is

467
00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:51,200
Speaker 3: kind of fun right now. So I hope they don't

468
00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:55,320
Speaker 3: tweak anything too soon. Despite the fact that it's quite

469
00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:58,520
Speaker 3: obvious that there are certain characters in here that maybe

470
00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:01,800
Speaker 3: need it, I don't see any Well, maybe there's some

471
00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:04,600
Speaker 3: buffs coming. I could see Captain America maybe needing a buff.

472
00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:07,280
Speaker 3: Poor guys just like running around slapping people with the shield,

473
00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:08,640
Speaker 3: doing zero damage and.

474
00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:09,359
Speaker 7: Then running away.

475
00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:14,280
Speaker 2: I had so much fun one game playing as Captain America,

476
00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:16,760
Speaker 2: and I thought I was being so disruptive and doing

477
00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:18,840
Speaker 2: so many annoying things the other team, And at the

478
00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:20,320
Speaker 2: end of the game, I looked at my stats and

479
00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:23,200
Speaker 2: I was like, how did I do so little damage?

480
00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:24,760
Speaker 7: He does nothing.

481
00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:27,400
Speaker 6: Nothing, maximum effort, minimum impact.

482
00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:31,760
Speaker 3: It's true, but there again is like the tactics are

483
00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:35,159
Speaker 3: still evolving. Like for cap I feel like what you

484
00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:37,959
Speaker 3: need to do is like never stop sprinting. You just

485
00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:41,199
Speaker 3: hold down sprint and never stop and constantly have your

486
00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:45,520
Speaker 3: shield run through, constantly have your shield up, run through fights,

487
00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:47,440
Speaker 3: smack a couple of people. What you're doing is you're

488
00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:50,879
Speaker 3: looking for the one healer or person that's like by themselves,

489
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:53,000
Speaker 3: like somewhere in a room or in a back alley,

490
00:25:53,320 --> 00:25:56,439
Speaker 3: beat the shit out of that person, and if someone

491
00:25:56,440 --> 00:25:57,800
Speaker 3: else shows up, runaway.

492
00:25:57,840 --> 00:25:58,240
Speaker 7: That's it.

493
00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:01,720
Speaker 3: Like, don't try to finish two v one fights on

494
00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:03,760
Speaker 3: your own. Try to try to go one v ones,

495
00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:07,560
Speaker 3: especially with injured people, and don't fight for a long

496
00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:11,120
Speaker 3: time famous Captain America and get out of the.

497
00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:14,240
Speaker 7: Run away.

498
00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:14,720
Speaker 2: That is.

499
00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:16,719
Speaker 4: That is kind of the issue.

500
00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:18,399
Speaker 3: Is like a lot of the a lot of the

501
00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:21,919
Speaker 3: characters do play like how you imagine them playing in

502
00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:26,120
Speaker 3: a fight, like I Think or who you wish had more? Yeah,

503
00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:30,160
Speaker 3: but a black Black panther hella like kind of Moonnight.

504
00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:32,399
Speaker 3: They kind of fight in ways that you can imagine

505
00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:35,320
Speaker 3: the fighting. Spider Man in particular, high skill character that

506
00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:38,720
Speaker 3: you're starting to see people put together like insane click

507
00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:41,720
Speaker 3: packages of like Spider Man. Now, I could see Captain

508
00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:43,720
Speaker 3: America in eating a buff, but I still think like,

509
00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:46,879
Speaker 3: let's wait, let's let the gameplay develop before buffing it

510
00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:48,680
Speaker 3: too soon, and then it would be cool to see

511
00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:52,160
Speaker 3: some new characters. I mean, there's so many characters that

512
00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:56,679
Speaker 3: have yet to appear, Like take your pick, like the

513
00:26:56,720 --> 00:27:01,200
Speaker 3: whole Fantastic four is not in there. Uh x Men, Yeah,

514
00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:03,600
Speaker 3: you know, Serene is the only X Men in there.

515
00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:06,480
Speaker 5: I mean also, you can you can imagine a world

516
00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:09,000
Speaker 5: where they do like a new Mutants update or something,

517
00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:09,760
Speaker 5: you know, they could.

518
00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:14,239
Speaker 3: Do team update, power pack update like that would be

519
00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:18,640
Speaker 3: really cool. And so drip those characters in and don't

520
00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:21,520
Speaker 3: worry yet about balancing the game.

521
00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:22,960
Speaker 6: Yeah, let the chaos rain.

522
00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:27,919
Speaker 3: Let the chaos rain. And if they're going to introduce balances,

523
00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:31,080
Speaker 3: I think start maybe with competitive or some other smaller

524
00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:34,080
Speaker 3: corner of the game. And I would like to see

525
00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:36,280
Speaker 3: maybe some different game modes, like you know, there's only

526
00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:38,240
Speaker 3: two game modes right now, which is like an escort

527
00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:43,800
Speaker 3: mode in a conquest mode. I'm not calling for like deathmatch,

528
00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:47,440
Speaker 3: but maybe there's some other things captain you know, King

529
00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:50,600
Speaker 3: of the Hill type gameplay that we could see coming

530
00:27:51,359 --> 00:27:53,520
Speaker 3: that would add some depth to the game. But right now,

531
00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:56,119
Speaker 3: it's like it is just like super super super super

532
00:27:56,160 --> 00:27:57,080
Speaker 3: fun super fun.

533
00:27:57,240 --> 00:28:00,000
Speaker 2: Well, I'm excited. I think you just confirmed that we should.

534
00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:02,320
Speaker 2: I'll look out on Boxing day for the Alpha Flight

535
00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:03,800
Speaker 2: character drop.

536
00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:10,080
Speaker 5: Which would be great Canadian obviously happening Captain Britan.

537
00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:14,080
Speaker 2: When we hand it back, we will will have a

538
00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:17,000
Speaker 2: boo talk about one of the games that he has

539
00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:19,320
Speaker 2: been most excited about this year, and we'll talk to

540
00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:19,880
Speaker 2: you after these.

541
00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:40,400
Speaker 7: Messages and we're back.

542
00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:43,360
Speaker 2: Next up, we have the game that if you want

543
00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:47,600
Speaker 2: an epic and easy going single player adventure, this is

544
00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:49,120
Speaker 2: dragon Age Vailguard.

545
00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:51,640
Speaker 1: Yes, this is the game that I put on the

546
00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:56,520
Speaker 1: list as the one I would recommend. I am a

547
00:28:56,600 --> 00:29:01,080
Speaker 1: huge Bywear fan, and Dragon Age is a fantasy action

548
00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:05,880
Speaker 1: RPG where you gather this ragtag team of near duels

549
00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:09,800
Speaker 1: and also duels, and you save the world. You know,

550
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:13,680
Speaker 1: It's like, the main story is not the most complicated

551
00:29:13,720 --> 00:29:17,080
Speaker 1: sales pitch. It's as simple as every other fantasy RPG

552
00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:21,000
Speaker 1: you've ever played. But I think where this game really

553
00:29:21,040 --> 00:29:24,640
Speaker 1: excels and what makes it an epic and easy going

554
00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:27,560
Speaker 1: single player adventure that you can really sync, like me

555
00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:32,080
Speaker 1: eighty plus hours into is the companions, the characters, the

556
00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:39,040
Speaker 1: gorgeous visuals. Even the combat is, in my opinion, simplified.

557
00:29:39,040 --> 00:29:41,520
Speaker 1: But I'm a pretty hardcore like RPG player. Like I

558
00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:44,280
Speaker 1: lean more balder Skate three and the Shadow, this game

559
00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:47,080
Speaker 1: certainly lives in the shadow of balder Skate three. It

560
00:29:47,120 --> 00:29:51,000
Speaker 1: doesn't reach those heights. But if you're a more casual gamer,

561
00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:53,920
Speaker 1: this combat is going to be very simple and easy

562
00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:57,600
Speaker 1: and enjoyable to play. Some of the characters will grab you.

563
00:29:58,640 --> 00:30:01,680
Speaker 1: I think the main of pro tip I would give

564
00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:04,640
Speaker 1: to someone picking this up and trying to jump in

565
00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:08,800
Speaker 1: is to not stress about the main story. Honestly, just

566
00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:11,760
Speaker 1: ignore the main story as much as you can, take

567
00:30:11,800 --> 00:30:16,480
Speaker 1: your time instead doing all of your companion's side quests.

568
00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:19,600
Speaker 1: All of the companions will have their own plot lines

569
00:30:19,680 --> 00:30:24,920
Speaker 1: and multi part quests to complete that will increase your

570
00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:28,520
Speaker 1: relationship with them. Yes, you can romance any way you

571
00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:34,280
Speaker 1: want in the game, and you will get the most

572
00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:36,560
Speaker 1: enjoyment out of this game when you lean into getting

573
00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:40,360
Speaker 1: to know the cast of characters. That that is where

574
00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:43,360
Speaker 1: most of the enjoyment of this game lies. That would

575
00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:43,920
Speaker 1: be my pro.

576
00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:47,280
Speaker 5: Tip Because I'm a side quest kind of gal and

577
00:30:47,320 --> 00:30:49,880
Speaker 5: I love the idea of ahi fantasy action NOTPG. I've

578
00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:53,320
Speaker 5: played some different versions by the to find my true love.

579
00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:55,400
Speaker 5: I know I still need to play boulders Kate three too,

580
00:30:55,920 --> 00:30:56,760
Speaker 5: but that sounds great.

581
00:30:57,160 --> 00:30:57,480
Speaker 9: Yeah.

582
00:30:57,600 --> 00:30:59,520
Speaker 1: If you looked up alder Skate three and went, wow,

583
00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:02,600
Speaker 1: I'm done this, try Dragon Age instead, I.

584
00:31:02,520 --> 00:31:04,600
Speaker 5: Was gonna say, is this a good start a game

585
00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:05,880
Speaker 5: for that kind of space?

586
00:31:06,360 --> 00:31:06,640
Speaker 9: Yeah?

587
00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:07,200
Speaker 7: Absolutely?

588
00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:10,560
Speaker 2: And a boot of the eighty hours or so you've

589
00:31:10,560 --> 00:31:14,760
Speaker 2: put in, how much of that has been like grinding

590
00:31:15,160 --> 00:31:19,200
Speaker 2: XP or learning new techniques and skills for your character

591
00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:24,240
Speaker 2: versus exploring doing the relationship stuff or side quest for

592
00:31:24,280 --> 00:31:25,960
Speaker 2: your characters developing their arcs?

593
00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:29,200
Speaker 7: Yeah? Where does it sit within those two worlds?

594
00:31:30,800 --> 00:31:31,120
Speaker 9: Zero?

595
00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:34,760
Speaker 1: Zero of those eighty hours was just like grinding out gear.

596
00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:37,760
Speaker 1: And to be fair, like, I'm old now and I

597
00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:39,920
Speaker 1: just play video games on Easy because I can't be

598
00:31:40,520 --> 00:31:42,320
Speaker 1: I can't be stuck on a boss fight for four

599
00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:46,480
Speaker 1: days straight, like who has the time? So I played

600
00:31:46,480 --> 00:31:49,400
Speaker 1: on Easy and I will say this has a really

601
00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:53,280
Speaker 1: robust set like accessibility, settings menu. You could just go

602
00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:55,760
Speaker 1: in and tweak anything. You can be like, I'm annoyed

603
00:31:55,760 --> 00:31:58,440
Speaker 1: by how much health the bosses have, just going in

604
00:31:58,480 --> 00:32:01,680
Speaker 1: and reduce the health for an enemies, you can be like, oh,

605
00:32:01,720 --> 00:32:04,480
Speaker 1: the bosses like or the enemies like attack me too

606
00:32:04,520 --> 00:32:06,160
Speaker 1: much and I can't like get a hit in.

607
00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:08,000
Speaker 9: Just reduce how aggressive they are.

608
00:32:08,040 --> 00:32:12,640
Speaker 1: Like, they're settings that are like very particular, So customize

609
00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:14,480
Speaker 1: it to like your play style. And if there's a

610
00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:18,760
Speaker 1: thing bothering you about the game, check the accessibility settings,

611
00:32:18,760 --> 00:32:21,280
Speaker 1: because I can almost guarantee there's a toggle in there

612
00:32:21,320 --> 00:32:23,520
Speaker 1: where you can set it to a level that feels

613
00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:25,560
Speaker 1: comfortable and fun for you. I went in and like

614
00:32:25,600 --> 00:32:28,120
Speaker 1: I did find the health. The enemy health was like

615
00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:31,280
Speaker 1: so much. I played as a rogue archer and I

616
00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:34,520
Speaker 1: was just like wailing these guys with like dozens of

617
00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:37,640
Speaker 1: arrows just to take like one grunt down, and that

618
00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:39,400
Speaker 1: was starting to annoy me. So I just reduced their

619
00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:40,840
Speaker 1: health so I can just take them down in like

620
00:32:40,840 --> 00:32:41,920
Speaker 1: three or four arrow hits.

621
00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:43,680
Speaker 7: Nice, And that was more.

622
00:32:43,680 --> 00:32:44,120
Speaker 4: Fun for me.

623
00:32:44,680 --> 00:32:47,200
Speaker 1: And So if you don't have some sort of weird

624
00:32:47,280 --> 00:32:52,240
Speaker 1: like easy mode is for lame people baggage, just like

625
00:32:52,280 --> 00:32:54,200
Speaker 1: play the game how you want and customize it how

626
00:32:54,240 --> 00:32:54,600
Speaker 1: you want.

627
00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:56,120
Speaker 7: Yeah, So that's.

628
00:32:56,320 --> 00:32:59,640
Speaker 1: My recommendation for folks looking to get into some RPG

629
00:32:59,760 --> 00:33:00,760
Speaker 1: game action.

630
00:33:00,680 --> 00:33:03,680
Speaker 7: And out of out of ten, what would you gray

631
00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:04,280
Speaker 7: the story?

632
00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:09,360
Speaker 1: You know, Look, this gets a little hairy for me

633
00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:13,840
Speaker 1: because I'm a long time BioWare fan byo where created

634
00:33:13,840 --> 00:33:16,800
Speaker 1: my all time favorite video game trilogy, the Massffect games.

635
00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:20,200
Speaker 1: I've also played all the dragon Age games.

636
00:33:20,280 --> 00:33:24,840
Speaker 9: Story wise, like, this is like a decent seven out

637
00:33:24,880 --> 00:33:25,480
Speaker 9: of ten.

638
00:33:25,680 --> 00:33:28,120
Speaker 1: Well, you know, like the writing is okay, it's a

639
00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:33,080
Speaker 1: little amate like, it's very sanded down and simplistic.

640
00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:35,480
Speaker 9: It's very black and white. The good guys are the good.

641
00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:37,120
Speaker 1: Guys, the bad guys are the bad guys, and it

642
00:33:37,120 --> 00:33:39,920
Speaker 1: doesn't over complicate that, which is a little disappointing. I

643
00:33:39,960 --> 00:33:43,760
Speaker 1: wanted more, more gray and more nuanced in this world,

644
00:33:43,840 --> 00:33:47,880
Speaker 1: because the previous games certainly had that. It's it's been

645
00:33:48,080 --> 00:33:50,560
Speaker 1: simplified and a little oversimplified for my taste.

646
00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:53,160
Speaker 9: But I don't want that to deter.

647
00:33:53,080 --> 00:33:56,440
Speaker 1: Someone who's never experienced dragon Age before, because I think

648
00:33:56,480 --> 00:33:59,320
Speaker 1: coming in you'll still enjoy it. I just come in

649
00:33:59,360 --> 00:34:04,400
Speaker 1: with like fifteen years of gaming baggage and buyowear opinions,

650
00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:08,239
Speaker 1: and so I just I wanted more from the story,

651
00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:11,360
Speaker 1: but that's because I'm too deep in the buywear lore.

652
00:34:14,239 --> 00:34:17,320
Speaker 2: Well, next up, we have a game that I think

653
00:34:17,760 --> 00:34:19,919
Speaker 2: is very similar to that, and that the good guys

654
00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:21,279
Speaker 2: are the good guys and the bad guys are the

655
00:34:21,280 --> 00:34:23,880
Speaker 2: bad guys. This is if you want to play a

656
00:34:23,920 --> 00:34:27,959
Speaker 2: game where you eliminate uncivilized bugs and robots and deep

657
00:34:27,960 --> 00:34:29,759
Speaker 2: space for democracy.

658
00:34:30,040 --> 00:34:31,520
Speaker 7: And this is hell diverse too.

659
00:34:32,160 --> 00:34:35,080
Speaker 2: This is a co op third person shooter where you

660
00:34:35,120 --> 00:34:39,920
Speaker 2: and your teammates get dropped down into a hostile world

661
00:34:40,040 --> 00:34:44,520
Speaker 2: filled with hordes of enemies, and you complete an objective

662
00:34:44,560 --> 00:34:46,880
Speaker 2: on a time limit, and then you call in the

663
00:34:47,080 --> 00:34:49,919
Speaker 2: plane to get you out of there. This game, the

664
00:34:49,920 --> 00:34:53,359
Speaker 2: community is very funny. First of all, like people make it.

665
00:34:53,360 --> 00:34:54,680
Speaker 2: It's very Starship Troopers.

666
00:34:54,920 --> 00:34:56,879
Speaker 5: I was gonna say the main reason that this game

667
00:34:56,960 --> 00:34:59,640
Speaker 5: is because it has finally made people appreciate pull this

668
00:34:59,800 --> 00:35:00,960
Speaker 5: yes under.

669
00:35:01,080 --> 00:35:03,080
Speaker 4: Classic masterpiece, Yes.

670
00:35:03,160 --> 00:35:05,760
Speaker 6: Classic satirical masterpiece, genius.

671
00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:11,319
Speaker 2: And there's because it's co op, not as much toxicity

672
00:35:11,400 --> 00:35:15,000
Speaker 2: among the gaming community. People just like are very in

673
00:35:15,120 --> 00:35:18,239
Speaker 2: on the joke of like we are, you know, uh,

674
00:35:18,640 --> 00:35:22,399
Speaker 2: disposable soldiers for democracy. And like one of the things

675
00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:26,120
Speaker 2: I really like is someone who plays RPGs and will

676
00:35:26,120 --> 00:35:28,480
Speaker 2: collect every item and then sudden, I mean, like when

677
00:35:28,480 --> 00:35:30,960
Speaker 2: I've played Balder's Gate three with my friends. They make

678
00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:33,520
Speaker 2: the joke that I just loot everything and then I

679
00:35:33,640 --> 00:35:36,360
Speaker 2: go put all of the when I run out of space,

680
00:35:36,400 --> 00:35:40,000
Speaker 2: I just mysteriously am dropping all those items into their inventories,

681
00:35:40,040 --> 00:35:42,800
Speaker 2: and they're like, when did I pick up three barrels

682
00:35:42,840 --> 00:35:46,919
Speaker 2: of wine? Hell Divers so different Hell Divers you get

683
00:35:46,920 --> 00:35:48,640
Speaker 2: like three items to drop in with. You have a

684
00:35:48,719 --> 00:35:51,040
Speaker 2: very limited number of items to drop in with, and

685
00:35:51,120 --> 00:35:53,160
Speaker 2: you can share them with the other teammates, but like,

686
00:35:53,200 --> 00:35:56,080
Speaker 2: you can only have these set number of things that

687
00:35:56,120 --> 00:35:57,840
Speaker 2: you come in with, and that's all you get for

688
00:35:57,880 --> 00:35:58,359
Speaker 2: the whole game.

689
00:35:58,440 --> 00:35:59,400
Speaker 7: And it's very.

690
00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:02,319
Speaker 2: Fun and as soon as you die, you just get

691
00:36:02,680 --> 00:36:05,319
Speaker 2: shot back in with the brand new character because you

692
00:36:05,400 --> 00:36:08,040
Speaker 2: are in fact disposable soldiers for democracy.

693
00:36:09,640 --> 00:36:11,080
Speaker 7: They did introduce.

694
00:36:10,680 --> 00:36:13,480
Speaker 2: A brand new faction, the Illuminate, which was introduced into

695
00:36:13,480 --> 00:36:16,680
Speaker 2: the latest dlc Omens of Tyranny. That now means there

696
00:36:16,680 --> 00:36:20,319
Speaker 2: are three different enemy factions you can play, very fun

697
00:36:20,360 --> 00:36:22,920
Speaker 2: game to just drop in twenty minutes hanging out with

698
00:36:22,960 --> 00:36:26,000
Speaker 2: your friends, dropping bombs and shooting bugs.

699
00:36:26,480 --> 00:36:27,680
Speaker 9: I have a question for you Erin.

700
00:36:27,960 --> 00:36:31,640
Speaker 1: Yes, if I'm the type of gamer that doesn't like

701
00:36:31,880 --> 00:36:35,600
Speaker 1: Call of Duty or Valerint or counter Strike or Overwatch,

702
00:36:35,760 --> 00:36:38,040
Speaker 1: or I might look at this game and go, this

703
00:36:38,200 --> 00:36:40,840
Speaker 1: just looks like one of those, Well I should I

704
00:36:40,840 --> 00:36:41,840
Speaker 1: still give this a chance.

705
00:36:42,400 --> 00:36:43,760
Speaker 7: Yeah, so much slower.

706
00:36:43,920 --> 00:36:46,360
Speaker 2: Like when I think of Call of Duty or Valorant,

707
00:36:46,360 --> 00:36:50,080
Speaker 2: I'm thinking of people, you know, really quickly jumping across

708
00:36:50,080 --> 00:36:53,680
Speaker 2: the screen, like popping in and out behind corners. I also,

709
00:36:53,800 --> 00:36:57,120
Speaker 2: Jason loves to say he's lost his fast twitch reflexes

710
00:36:57,400 --> 00:37:01,040
Speaker 2: in gaming. I never had those, so like I never

711
00:37:01,080 --> 00:37:03,400
Speaker 2: could have played any of those games. This game, like,

712
00:37:03,480 --> 00:37:06,600
Speaker 2: I don't ever feel like I'm you know, never hitting

713
00:37:06,600 --> 00:37:11,520
Speaker 2: my shots. Like if anything, it's just like, wow, that

714
00:37:11,760 --> 00:37:14,439
Speaker 2: bug is enormous and I just have this puny little

715
00:37:14,440 --> 00:37:18,520
Speaker 2: pistol that's running out of ammo, so you know, and

716
00:37:18,680 --> 00:37:22,080
Speaker 2: like the bombs I'm calling in or taking ten seconds

717
00:37:22,080 --> 00:37:23,600
Speaker 2: and it's not going to be here. It's I'm in

718
00:37:23,640 --> 00:37:27,239
Speaker 2: the bug squashed me. So that I would not do

719
00:37:27,360 --> 00:37:29,640
Speaker 2: not feel like this is call of duty whatsoever.

720
00:37:30,200 --> 00:37:34,239
Speaker 1: Okay, good to know, Yeah, okay, Next up is the

721
00:37:34,280 --> 00:37:38,600
Speaker 1: game you'll want to play if you've always wished that

722
00:37:38,640 --> 00:37:40,960
Speaker 1: you could date a monster and started Valleys and then Rosie,

723
00:37:40,960 --> 00:37:42,480
Speaker 1: I believe this was your recommendation.

724
00:37:43,120 --> 00:37:47,879
Speaker 5: Shocking, Yes, This is Wildflowers, which is actually really incredible

725
00:37:48,920 --> 00:37:53,640
Speaker 5: new take on the kind of Stardry Valley Animal Crossing space.

726
00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:55,360
Speaker 6: But if you've always.

727
00:37:54,960 --> 00:37:57,160
Speaker 5: Played Animal Crossing and you've been like, oh, I wish

728
00:37:57,200 --> 00:38:01,600
Speaker 5: I actually like had voice actors playing all of these characters,

729
00:38:02,080 --> 00:38:06,160
Speaker 5: this has hours and hours of incredible voice acting, and

730
00:38:06,200 --> 00:38:09,520
Speaker 5: you are actually immersed in this new town where you

731
00:38:09,600 --> 00:38:13,120
Speaker 5: return to help your grandma. Classic kind of Hallmark movie

732
00:38:13,160 --> 00:38:16,919
Speaker 5: set up, classic Stardu Valley set up. But after being

733
00:38:16,960 --> 00:38:20,279
Speaker 5: there a little while, you learn that there are two

734
00:38:20,320 --> 00:38:22,759
Speaker 5: factions on the island, and one of them is a

735
00:38:22,880 --> 00:38:27,200
Speaker 5: kind of cult esque church that wants people to be traditional,

736
00:38:27,520 --> 00:38:30,160
Speaker 5: and the other is your grandma's witches coven.

737
00:38:32,400 --> 00:38:36,960
Speaker 6: Yeah, that has they're working for a long time to kind.

738
00:38:36,760 --> 00:38:40,680
Speaker 5: Of help these two worlds coexist, because you later find

739
00:38:40,680 --> 00:38:44,360
Speaker 5: out that there's actually an entire secondary location, which is

740
00:38:44,360 --> 00:38:47,600
Speaker 5: a world of werewolves and vampires and fairies, and you

741
00:38:47,640 --> 00:38:50,160
Speaker 5: can date any of those characters, you can romance any

742
00:38:50,200 --> 00:38:54,520
Speaker 5: of those characters. This is a really delightful game. It's

743
00:38:54,719 --> 00:38:57,359
Speaker 5: very immersive. You can sink a ton of time into it.

744
00:38:57,440 --> 00:39:00,160
Speaker 5: I would say it's We've had a lot of games

745
00:39:00,200 --> 00:39:04,360
Speaker 5: since Animal Crossing hitting COVID and people really discovered Sardry

746
00:39:04,440 --> 00:39:06,800
Speaker 5: Valley that have tried to be a kind of triple

747
00:39:06,880 --> 00:39:10,880
Speaker 5: a gaming experience or an animal crossing level experience, a

748
00:39:10,960 --> 00:39:14,400
Speaker 5: Harvest Moon level experience. I would say Wildflowers is the

749
00:39:14,440 --> 00:39:18,040
Speaker 5: closest we've gotten. The voice acting makes a massive difference.

750
00:39:18,160 --> 00:39:20,719
Speaker 5: It adds a lot of time to the gameplay if

751
00:39:20,719 --> 00:39:25,359
Speaker 5: you actually have conversations with everyone. There's a great central mystery.

752
00:39:26,040 --> 00:39:29,000
Speaker 5: There's loads of fun tasks.

753
00:39:29,080 --> 00:39:32,680
Speaker 6: If you're a task based person. You can learn errands.

754
00:39:32,239 --> 00:39:37,680
Speaker 5: For people, you get to actually have magical powers, and

755
00:39:37,800 --> 00:39:40,480
Speaker 5: you get to have a familiar This is just, like,

756
00:39:40,640 --> 00:39:42,960
Speaker 5: I think, a very underrated game. If you're in the

757
00:39:42,960 --> 00:39:45,480
Speaker 5: cozy gaming community, you obviously know it, but I actually

758
00:39:45,520 --> 00:39:48,600
Speaker 5: think there's a lot of access here for people who

759
00:39:48,640 --> 00:39:52,160
Speaker 5: haven't necessarily found that cozy life sim because there's a

760
00:39:52,200 --> 00:39:56,400
Speaker 5: little bit more spice with the witch elements. It's also

761
00:39:56,600 --> 00:40:00,000
Speaker 5: just really fun to play. There's like any good cozy gaming.

762
00:40:00,080 --> 00:40:03,360
Speaker 5: There is like a mining element, there's a conflict element

763
00:40:03,400 --> 00:40:05,879
Speaker 5: where you fight goblins or in this case, you also

764
00:40:05,960 --> 00:40:09,200
Speaker 5: have to chop down these kind of cursed plants that

765
00:40:09,280 --> 00:40:10,400
Speaker 5: grow around the town.

766
00:40:10,960 --> 00:40:15,080
Speaker 6: And yeah, just a completely fun, dynamic.

767
00:40:14,719 --> 00:40:18,880
Speaker 5: Cozy, witchy game that I think is up there in hindsight,

768
00:40:18,920 --> 00:40:21,239
Speaker 5: will be seen as up there with the best that

769
00:40:21,360 --> 00:40:22,680
Speaker 5: this genre has to offer.

770
00:40:23,560 --> 00:40:24,320
Speaker 4: How hard are.

771
00:40:26,160 --> 00:40:29,480
Speaker 6: Okay, the monsters are actually very hot. It's more of

772
00:40:29,520 --> 00:40:32,280
Speaker 6: a classical It's not your boulders.

773
00:40:31,840 --> 00:40:35,879
Speaker 5: Gate like sexy Asterion. People are doing fan art of them.

774
00:40:35,920 --> 00:40:39,080
Speaker 5: It's not that level because this is still like a cozy,

775
00:40:39,200 --> 00:40:43,920
Speaker 5: kind of Chibby Mysims esque design. But once you really

776
00:40:43,960 --> 00:40:46,840
Speaker 5: get to the other, once you open the other location

777
00:40:47,120 --> 00:40:49,839
Speaker 5: and you end up meeting the fee and the werewolves

778
00:40:49,840 --> 00:40:53,640
Speaker 5: and the vampires and stuff, there is definitely a monster

779
00:40:53,760 --> 00:40:55,839
Speaker 5: for everyone in there. If you want a bit more

780
00:40:55,840 --> 00:40:58,440
Speaker 5: of a fantasy with an elf, there are elf characters.

781
00:40:58,520 --> 00:41:01,359
Speaker 5: If you want like a sexy not binary vampire who

782
00:41:01,400 --> 00:41:03,799
Speaker 5: like loves eating meat, you got that. If you want

783
00:41:03,800 --> 00:41:06,239
Speaker 5: like a were wolf, he is probably I would say,

784
00:41:06,280 --> 00:41:09,040
Speaker 5: the most obviously kind of sexy monster.

785
00:41:09,080 --> 00:41:11,560
Speaker 6: He's kind of like a professor esque ware.

786
00:41:13,320 --> 00:41:18,360
Speaker 5: Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, like the dark academia kind of vibe.

787
00:41:19,040 --> 00:41:25,719
Speaker 6: But also this is another exactly so yeah, I just

788
00:41:25,960 --> 00:41:27,400
Speaker 6: I really loved this game.

789
00:41:27,480 --> 00:41:29,840
Speaker 5: I have played it more than once, like through, because

790
00:41:29,840 --> 00:41:32,800
Speaker 5: it's really fun and yeah, just just great times.

791
00:41:32,800 --> 00:41:35,440
Speaker 6: This is I think a sort of an underrated one.

792
00:41:35,480 --> 00:41:37,880
Speaker 5: I think it's usually about like twenty five bucks on

793
00:41:37,920 --> 00:41:39,680
Speaker 5: the switch thought too, so I feel like it's a

794
00:41:39,800 --> 00:41:42,400
Speaker 5: very good price and a great game to kind of

795
00:41:42,440 --> 00:41:44,239
Speaker 5: lose yourself in over the holiday.

796
00:41:45,239 --> 00:41:48,040
Speaker 2: Joe out here doing the dark Lord's work.

797
00:41:48,120 --> 00:41:51,640
Speaker 7: Joel Sexy are the monsters Joel.

798
00:41:51,440 --> 00:41:52,440
Speaker 6: Is and Montsterfucker.

799
00:41:52,520 --> 00:41:56,960
Speaker 5: Which is why it's shocking shocking to know that Joel

800
00:41:57,440 --> 00:41:57,920
Speaker 5: was not a.

801
00:41:57,920 --> 00:42:00,479
Speaker 6: Huge fan of Robert egg Is Nosferatu. You can listen

802
00:42:00,520 --> 00:42:02,200
Speaker 6: to that episode of Vision.

803
00:42:02,680 --> 00:42:09,160
Speaker 4: Just have to be high in this rule Number one.

804
00:42:09,520 --> 00:42:13,920
Speaker 1: Great recommendation, Rosie. Okay, let's move on to our next recommendation,

805
00:42:14,040 --> 00:42:16,319
Speaker 1: and this one is if you want to beat up

806
00:42:16,360 --> 00:42:20,160
Speaker 1: on some goblins. But in a funny way. I believe,

807
00:42:20,520 --> 00:42:23,560
Speaker 1: I believe this is Carmen and Aaron girl power.

808
00:42:24,800 --> 00:42:28,440
Speaker 10: We have finally finally been given access to a Zelda

809
00:42:28,480 --> 00:42:32,160
Speaker 10: game where we play as Princess Zelda herself.

810
00:42:33,239 --> 00:42:38,000
Speaker 6: Yes, hey, first canon like main line game. There you

811
00:42:38,040 --> 00:42:38,799
Speaker 6: get to do that?

812
00:42:39,040 --> 00:42:41,319
Speaker 8: Yes, there is what is the other game where.

813
00:42:41,440 --> 00:42:45,640
Speaker 5: I believe it was like a fighting game couple of dynasty,

814
00:42:45,719 --> 00:42:46,840
Speaker 5: But this is the first.

815
00:42:46,640 --> 00:42:49,200
Speaker 6: Like main legend of Zelda game.

816
00:42:49,320 --> 00:42:49,520
Speaker 4: Yeah.

817
00:42:49,520 --> 00:42:52,080
Speaker 10: So if you are a Zelda Maine and Smash Brothers

818
00:42:52,120 --> 00:42:54,959
Speaker 10: like I am, you're gonna you're gonna love this game.

819
00:42:56,400 --> 00:42:58,360
Speaker 8: It is in my opinion.

820
00:42:58,400 --> 00:43:01,640
Speaker 10: I've played, I've played, uh yeah, I've played every two

821
00:43:01,719 --> 00:43:04,439
Speaker 10: D's Elder game except for like the Minish Cap and

822
00:43:04,640 --> 00:43:07,959
Speaker 10: this has got to be my favorite two D Zelda game,

823
00:43:08,360 --> 00:43:11,719
Speaker 10: next to Link Between Worlds, which is also a really

824
00:43:11,719 --> 00:43:16,520
Speaker 10: fun two dame. You really can beat up on goblins

825
00:43:16,520 --> 00:43:18,120
Speaker 10: and the funniest ways pot you don't even actually have

826
00:43:18,160 --> 00:43:19,360
Speaker 10: to beat up on problems.

827
00:43:20,040 --> 00:43:20,600
Speaker 8: You can.

828
00:43:21,000 --> 00:43:27,000
Speaker 10: Once you unlock the water block Echo, you can literally

829
00:43:27,680 --> 00:43:30,960
Speaker 10: cast a water block and then drag whatever the enemy

830
00:43:31,040 --> 00:43:33,520
Speaker 10: is except for like a boss fight of course, into

831
00:43:33,560 --> 00:43:36,360
Speaker 10: a water block and drown them right there.

832
00:43:37,239 --> 00:43:38,719
Speaker 8: So you can just drown your enemy.

833
00:43:41,560 --> 00:43:43,560
Speaker 2: If the sword and shields too much for you, you

834
00:43:43,640 --> 00:43:47,160
Speaker 2: just water board them totally, just.

835
00:43:47,280 --> 00:43:48,240
Speaker 6: Row that goblin.

836
00:43:48,400 --> 00:43:48,640
Speaker 7: Yeah.

837
00:43:48,719 --> 00:43:51,200
Speaker 10: I love picking them up and just dropping them off cliffs.

838
00:43:51,360 --> 00:43:53,279
Speaker 10: I love picking them up and dropping them into water.

839
00:43:53,640 --> 00:43:55,840
Speaker 10: There's all sorts of creative ways, and you can actually

840
00:43:55,840 --> 00:43:57,560
Speaker 10: the cool The other cool thing I really like about

841
00:43:57,560 --> 00:44:02,520
Speaker 10: this game is that you can skip like intended areas

842
00:44:02,560 --> 00:44:04,640
Speaker 10: that you're supposed to like figure out your way through.

843
00:44:04,640 --> 00:44:05,600
Speaker 8: You can just skip it.

844
00:44:05,800 --> 00:44:09,520
Speaker 7: By by uh using the water block, using the.

845
00:44:09,520 --> 00:44:12,799
Speaker 8: Water block or the bed which the bed, well, the

846
00:44:12,800 --> 00:44:14,480
Speaker 8: bed in the water block will get you pretty much

847
00:44:14,480 --> 00:44:15,200
Speaker 8: anywhere you want to go.

848
00:44:15,560 --> 00:44:18,680
Speaker 2: So Aaron is in the main you know, you know

849
00:44:18,840 --> 00:44:22,520
Speaker 2: in Link to the Past Inks Awakening, everyone's going to

850
00:44:22,560 --> 00:44:24,719
Speaker 2: be like the most used item is the boomerang or

851
00:44:24,760 --> 00:44:27,719
Speaker 2: the hook shop. Yes, well, and echoes of wisdom. The

852
00:44:27,719 --> 00:44:31,480
Speaker 2: most used item is old bed and water blox and

853
00:44:31,520 --> 00:44:34,319
Speaker 2: like those literally you just you can get anywhere you

854
00:44:34,360 --> 00:44:37,080
Speaker 2: want with those pretty much. And maybe you cast a

855
00:44:37,120 --> 00:44:39,640
Speaker 2: bat so that you can glide somewhere when you jump

856
00:44:39,680 --> 00:44:42,240
Speaker 2: off a cliff. But like, yeah, I love how creative

857
00:44:42,239 --> 00:44:45,279
Speaker 2: this game is and how creative it allows you to be. Yes,

858
00:44:46,719 --> 00:44:49,640
Speaker 2: it will present a puzzle or a fight and you

859
00:44:49,680 --> 00:44:52,759
Speaker 2: can solve it in any number of ways with any

860
00:44:52,840 --> 00:44:55,480
Speaker 2: number of different tools that you're casting or echoes that

861
00:44:55,520 --> 00:44:56,080
Speaker 2: you're casting.

862
00:44:56,320 --> 00:44:58,400
Speaker 6: If someone has never played Zelda.

863
00:44:58,160 --> 00:45:02,040
Speaker 5: Before, yes, and is like this sounds fun or looks

864
00:45:02,120 --> 00:45:04,640
Speaker 5: cute and cozy and that kind of like like the

865
00:45:04,680 --> 00:45:08,919
Speaker 5: Link's Awakening game, is it like an easy game? Does

866
00:45:08,960 --> 00:45:11,520
Speaker 5: it hand hold you through the beginning? It can somebody

867
00:45:11,520 --> 00:45:12,560
Speaker 5: who's never played.

868
00:45:13,200 --> 00:45:15,600
Speaker 10: You know, That's the reason I'm a Nintendo girl is

869
00:45:15,640 --> 00:45:18,399
Speaker 10: that Nintendo does tend to kind of hold your hand

870
00:45:18,400 --> 00:45:20,400
Speaker 10: through the games. So it does kind of hold your

871
00:45:20,440 --> 00:45:23,480
Speaker 10: hand a little bit. The most challenging parts of the

872
00:45:23,520 --> 00:45:26,520
Speaker 10: games are going to be the boss fights and then

873
00:45:26,600 --> 00:45:30,120
Speaker 10: solving the puzzles in really creative ways. There's lots of

874
00:45:30,160 --> 00:45:31,920
Speaker 10: different ways to solve the puzzles, but you just have

875
00:45:32,000 --> 00:45:34,440
Speaker 10: to figure out an experiment a lot like I've spent

876
00:45:34,960 --> 00:45:37,040
Speaker 10: a good like thirty minutes before in a room with

877
00:45:37,080 --> 00:45:39,680
Speaker 10: a treasure chest that I can see, trying to figure

878
00:45:39,719 --> 00:45:41,640
Speaker 10: out how the hell to get to this treasure chest

879
00:45:42,320 --> 00:45:43,640
Speaker 10: with all my different That's.

880
00:45:43,480 --> 00:45:47,040
Speaker 6: A classic Zelda game. Yeah issue, Yes, so I like.

881
00:45:47,080 --> 00:45:49,480
Speaker 10: That, and it's very creative. So there's lots of different

882
00:45:49,480 --> 00:45:51,640
Speaker 10: ways to solve the puzzles, so I think if you've

883
00:45:51,680 --> 00:45:54,040
Speaker 10: never played a Zelda game before, it's very approachable. The

884
00:45:54,040 --> 00:45:56,560
Speaker 10: most stressful part is just going to be those boss fights.

885
00:45:56,920 --> 00:45:58,880
Speaker 10: I think the boss that I struggled with the most

886
00:45:59,080 --> 00:46:01,799
Speaker 10: was the Temple boss. I don't know about you, but

887
00:46:01,840 --> 00:46:04,520
Speaker 10: I hated that the fish, Yes, hated it, hated it,

888
00:46:04,600 --> 00:46:05,080
Speaker 10: hated it.

889
00:46:05,440 --> 00:46:07,879
Speaker 8: But otherwise it's pretty easy. I will say too.

890
00:46:08,000 --> 00:46:10,360
Speaker 10: Out of all of the two d Zelda games out there,

891
00:46:10,920 --> 00:46:16,520
Speaker 10: this is the most like fleshed out in depth. Like

892
00:46:16,840 --> 00:46:21,839
Speaker 10: she has costumes, she has accessories, she has she has

893
00:46:22,239 --> 00:46:24,919
Speaker 10: uh level up, you can like level up her wep,

894
00:46:25,080 --> 00:46:27,960
Speaker 10: Like there's like things that are I don't that are

895
00:46:28,400 --> 00:46:30,279
Speaker 10: that I've never been into Dzelder games before.

896
00:46:30,320 --> 00:46:35,360
Speaker 8: There's a smoothie guy. There's like all of these yes, perfect,

897
00:46:35,480 --> 00:46:38,399
Speaker 8: And you can wear a cat costume and.

898
00:46:38,320 --> 00:46:41,120
Speaker 2: You was gonna say I once I acquired the cat costume,

899
00:46:41,160 --> 00:46:41,920
Speaker 2: I have not changed.

900
00:46:42,040 --> 00:46:42,440
Speaker 4: Yes.

901
00:46:42,600 --> 00:46:44,680
Speaker 2: My wife walked by ones while I was playing. She's like,

902
00:46:44,719 --> 00:46:47,080
Speaker 2: what game were you playing? You're just like a cat.

903
00:46:49,239 --> 00:46:51,719
Speaker 8: And you can talk to all of the cats in

904
00:46:51,760 --> 00:46:52,120
Speaker 8: the game.

905
00:46:52,360 --> 00:46:52,720
Speaker 9: Yeah.

906
00:46:52,800 --> 00:46:54,799
Speaker 8: Yes, it's so fun.

907
00:46:55,040 --> 00:46:55,400
Speaker 7: Carmen.

908
00:46:55,440 --> 00:46:57,640
Speaker 2: Where does this rank for you on the list of

909
00:46:57,719 --> 00:46:58,440
Speaker 2: Zelda games?

910
00:46:58,480 --> 00:47:04,080
Speaker 10: Oh my god, Oh my god. I have to say so.

911
00:47:04,160 --> 00:47:06,759
Speaker 10: I love Tears of the Kingdom. I think lately Tiers

912
00:47:06,760 --> 00:47:10,040
Speaker 10: of the Kingdom has been my number one. I would

913
00:47:10,080 --> 00:47:13,239
Speaker 10: say that this after I think I think this is

914
00:47:13,320 --> 00:47:14,880
Speaker 10: number two, and then I would say number three for

915
00:47:14,920 --> 00:47:18,239
Speaker 10: me is a link between worlds. Wow, I really like

916
00:47:18,280 --> 00:47:20,760
Speaker 10: those three. Those are like my top three Zelda games.

917
00:47:21,560 --> 00:47:25,800
Speaker 2: I think I would probably put link to the past,

918
00:47:26,239 --> 00:47:29,719
Speaker 2: Breath of the Wild and Ocker enough Time as like

919
00:47:29,840 --> 00:47:32,080
Speaker 2: my top three in some order, depending on my mood

920
00:47:32,080 --> 00:47:35,000
Speaker 2: at any given time. Yeah, this is definitely if you

921
00:47:35,239 --> 00:47:37,920
Speaker 2: like this is I say that not to say this

922
00:47:37,960 --> 00:47:40,440
Speaker 2: is a bad game, simply that this has a huge

923
00:47:41,320 --> 00:47:43,080
Speaker 2: set of competitors it's going up against.

924
00:47:43,120 --> 00:47:44,239
Speaker 7: If. Yeah, it does.

925
00:47:44,320 --> 00:47:45,920
Speaker 8: I mean, there's so many good Zelda games. It's hard

926
00:47:45,960 --> 00:47:46,400
Speaker 8: to It's.

927
00:47:46,239 --> 00:47:48,720
Speaker 6: Hardselda games is some of the best games ever made.

928
00:47:48,880 --> 00:47:51,400
Speaker 2: Yes, And because of that, I think this does benefit

929
00:47:51,760 --> 00:47:55,080
Speaker 2: because there's some incredible Zelda nostalgia here. You meet both

930
00:47:55,200 --> 00:47:58,600
Speaker 2: kinds of the Zora, you get so many musical cues

931
00:47:58,680 --> 00:47:59,120
Speaker 2: going on.

932
00:47:59,239 --> 00:48:01,120
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's it's so it also wants us.

933
00:48:01,120 --> 00:48:03,280
Speaker 5: Kind of like an entry point to kind of Zelda

934
00:48:03,400 --> 00:48:06,160
Speaker 5: lore and tropes that you would then go on and

935
00:48:06,160 --> 00:48:06,920
Speaker 5: see in other games.

936
00:48:06,920 --> 00:48:09,080
Speaker 10: That's really It's got all the decu, the gore on

937
00:48:09,320 --> 00:48:11,640
Speaker 10: the what are the people in the desert called?

938
00:48:13,560 --> 00:48:15,440
Speaker 8: Yes, it's got the Zora, yep, all of it. It's

939
00:48:15,480 --> 00:48:15,799
Speaker 8: all there.

940
00:48:16,239 --> 00:48:17,839
Speaker 2: It would be very funny though, if this is your

941
00:48:17,840 --> 00:48:20,319
Speaker 2: first Zelda and then you go to play Breath of the.

942
00:48:20,200 --> 00:48:24,640
Speaker 7: World, why can't I water block this person?

943
00:48:24,880 --> 00:48:30,080
Speaker 6: Water block? Wait a minute, the war characters are looking

944
00:48:30,120 --> 00:48:31,520
Speaker 6: a lot sexier.

945
00:48:33,400 --> 00:48:35,800
Speaker 8: To the Kingdom.

946
00:48:36,000 --> 00:48:37,879
Speaker 1: I mean, you could rank this as your number one

947
00:48:37,920 --> 00:48:40,480
Speaker 1: Zelda game because the rest are really.

948
00:48:40,400 --> 00:48:48,799
Speaker 6: Like Okay, wait, wait, we're all going to beat up

949
00:48:48,880 --> 00:48:49,320
Speaker 6: a boo.

950
00:48:49,680 --> 00:48:53,680
Speaker 5: So some messages from a sponsor while we beat him up,

951
00:48:53,719 --> 00:48:54,720
Speaker 5: and then we'll be back.

952
00:48:54,560 --> 00:48:55,800
Speaker 9: Perfect but in a funny.

953
00:48:55,600 --> 00:49:17,760
Speaker 11: Way, in a funny way, funny way.

954
00:49:19,920 --> 00:49:22,080
Speaker 7: Okay, and we are back. Next up.

955
00:49:22,160 --> 00:49:24,880
Speaker 2: This game didn't actually come out this year, which is

956
00:49:24,920 --> 00:49:27,000
Speaker 2: totally okay. This is still a game that has had

957
00:49:27,000 --> 00:49:31,520
Speaker 2: a resurgence in popularity this year, And this is for you.

958
00:49:32,040 --> 00:49:34,960
Speaker 2: If you want to sneak attack a mind flare while

959
00:49:34,960 --> 00:49:37,160
Speaker 2: your friend knocks at a yankee prone using key points

960
00:49:37,200 --> 00:49:39,680
Speaker 2: and then your other friend uses telepitheater drop that gyankee

961
00:49:39,760 --> 00:49:42,279
Speaker 2: into a wall of fire, or maybe if you just

962
00:49:42,320 --> 00:49:47,040
Speaker 2: want to do some sexy time with someone in your camp, or.

963
00:49:47,000 --> 00:49:49,040
Speaker 1: If you want to suck the mind, can't fuck the mind?

964
00:49:49,760 --> 00:49:55,719
Speaker 2: Oh my god, spoilers, spoiler spoiler Which.

965
00:49:55,480 --> 00:49:57,960
Speaker 8: Game we're talking about? The Wildflower game.

966
00:49:57,719 --> 00:50:01,760
Speaker 7: Again, this is Echoes a Wisdom.

967
00:50:03,960 --> 00:50:06,960
Speaker 4: We're talking Bolder's Gate three, which is coming in in

968
00:50:07,000 --> 00:50:11,240
Speaker 4: a very interesting year. So studio developer Lorrain and Wizards

969
00:50:11,280 --> 00:50:13,720
Speaker 4: of the Coast, which is owned by Hasboro, split ways

970
00:50:14,520 --> 00:50:17,400
Speaker 4: at the top of the year. A lot of controversy.

971
00:50:17,400 --> 00:50:20,000
Speaker 4: People thought it was with the D and D fans

972
00:50:20,000 --> 00:50:21,719
Speaker 4: have a lot of being Wizards of the Coast. Since

973
00:50:21,719 --> 00:50:24,360
Speaker 4: it's been acquired by Hasbro for a lot of different reasons,

974
00:50:24,400 --> 00:50:27,320
Speaker 4: We've seen a ton of layoffs, there were random rule changes,

975
00:50:27,320 --> 00:50:29,840
Speaker 4: want charge us for stuff we were already had, Like

976
00:50:29,880 --> 00:50:33,719
Speaker 4: what are we doing? Lorraine has been very insistent that

977
00:50:33,800 --> 00:50:36,719
Speaker 4: this was not a Wizards of the Coast decision or

978
00:50:36,760 --> 00:50:40,000
Speaker 4: poor partner management, but that this was simply because they

979
00:50:40,040 --> 00:50:42,640
Speaker 4: felt they didn't have the heart for a balders Gate four,

980
00:50:42,719 --> 00:50:44,600
Speaker 4: which is a crazy decision for a company to make.

981
00:50:45,000 --> 00:50:47,799
Speaker 4: You made an insane amount of money off of Balderskate three,

982
00:50:47,800 --> 00:50:49,520
Speaker 4: and they're like, listen, it's just not in our hearts.

983
00:50:49,560 --> 00:50:52,440
Speaker 4: We have to go a different direction, which is really maybe.

984
00:50:51,840 --> 00:50:55,440
Speaker 5: They were just protecting themselves from like how much energy

985
00:50:55,480 --> 00:50:57,239
Speaker 5: and crunch they had to do to make such a

986
00:50:57,239 --> 00:51:00,560
Speaker 5: fantastic game that's like aspirational. They were like, you know what,

987
00:51:00,719 --> 00:51:02,719
Speaker 5: I just have the energy man instead of have it

988
00:51:02,760 --> 00:51:05,040
Speaker 5: in my hat, it's I just go to do something else.

989
00:51:05,160 --> 00:51:07,280
Speaker 4: It's a beautiful as a company game.

990
00:51:07,600 --> 00:51:10,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was going to be my point. Actually, I

991
00:51:10,200 --> 00:51:14,319
Speaker 1: think they're protecting themselves from you can't top a perfect game, just.

992
00:51:14,920 --> 00:51:18,479
Speaker 5: A game that got like unbelievable reviews like across the game.

993
00:51:18,600 --> 00:51:22,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, like it is a perfect replication of D and D.

994
00:51:22,719 --> 00:51:24,560
Speaker 4: And by this, I mean, like what's been really hard

995
00:51:24,560 --> 00:51:26,320
Speaker 4: about replicating D and D in the past is like

996
00:51:26,360 --> 00:51:30,080
Speaker 4: you really need good uh dungeon guide to get you

997
00:51:30,120 --> 00:51:31,520
Speaker 4: through a great game of D and D. You need

998
00:51:31,560 --> 00:51:32,960
Speaker 4: to be able to be surprised, You need to be

999
00:51:33,000 --> 00:51:36,040
Speaker 4: able to replay as a different character and have a

1000
00:51:36,080 --> 00:51:39,160
Speaker 4: different experience and doing this authentically. If you've ever played

1001
00:51:39,160 --> 00:51:41,960
Speaker 4: a multiple choice game before, you can see the patterns.

1002
00:51:42,000 --> 00:51:43,759
Speaker 4: You have a B or C, and if you choose

1003
00:51:43,760 --> 00:51:45,120
Speaker 4: be most of the time you're gonna get B outcome.

1004
00:51:45,120 --> 00:51:46,640
Speaker 4: If you see most I need to see outcome. It's

1005
00:51:46,640 --> 00:51:48,879
Speaker 4: like it's very easy to see here. You can't see

1006
00:51:48,920 --> 00:51:53,200
Speaker 4: the thread work. It's so layered and wonderful. And because

1007
00:51:53,000 --> 00:51:55,600
Speaker 4: the companies have split, this is the last update we're

1008
00:51:55,600 --> 00:51:58,440
Speaker 4: getting with Wizards of the Coast Slash D and D rules,

1009
00:51:58,680 --> 00:52:03,360
Speaker 4: So We got twelve new subclasses with this last update,

1010
00:52:03,440 --> 00:52:07,720
Speaker 4: which is pretty exciting. Can you a speed run of

1011
00:52:07,760 --> 00:52:11,440
Speaker 4: the new updates? Okay? Really what you could do? If

1012
00:52:11,440 --> 00:52:13,400
Speaker 4: you play us a bar You could do College of Glamour,

1013
00:52:13,400 --> 00:52:15,920
Speaker 4: which basically lets you use like fay wild magic to

1014
00:52:15,960 --> 00:52:19,080
Speaker 4: become so beautiful and alluring that nobody can deny you,

1015
00:52:19,160 --> 00:52:22,200
Speaker 4: which sounds like a lot of fun Barbarians.

1016
00:52:22,239 --> 00:52:27,439
Speaker 2: College of Glamor feels very scanling from Fox. I don't

1017
00:52:27,520 --> 00:52:30,800
Speaker 2: know the background, but I believe he's called totally.

1018
00:52:31,320 --> 00:52:33,879
Speaker 4: You do Path of the Giants if you're a barbarian,

1019
00:52:34,040 --> 00:52:38,880
Speaker 4: which allows you uh to deal additional damage with throw attacks.

1020
00:52:38,920 --> 00:52:42,040
Speaker 4: Plus it increases your carry capacity, which is nice. Also,

1021
00:52:42,400 --> 00:52:46,800
Speaker 4: Giants range becomes passive, which is just so helpful. Cleric

1022
00:52:46,840 --> 00:52:49,560
Speaker 4: you could do Death of Domain, which is really exciting.

1023
00:52:49,680 --> 00:52:53,319
Speaker 4: You can real live corpses and now they work for

1024
00:52:53,480 --> 00:52:55,760
Speaker 4: you if you know how much time you spend around

1025
00:52:55,760 --> 00:52:59,920
Speaker 4: dead things. That is very intriguing to me. Drewid Circle

1026
00:53:00,120 --> 00:53:02,479
Speaker 4: the Stars Less. I like this one a little less.

1027
00:53:02,520 --> 00:53:06,000
Speaker 4: You use like constellation powers. You can do Archer, Chalice

1028
00:53:06,120 --> 00:53:09,600
Speaker 4: or Dragon, which gives you different options. The archers radiant

1029
00:53:09,680 --> 00:53:13,879
Speaker 4: damage with astral arrows. The life giving Chalish restores hit

1030
00:53:13,960 --> 00:53:16,960
Speaker 4: points which could be helpful, and the Dragon allows you

1031
00:53:16,960 --> 00:53:21,560
Speaker 4: to deal damage with added bonuses to constitution roles. This

1032
00:53:21,640 --> 00:53:23,960
Speaker 4: is like great strategy edition, but if you're a story

1033
00:53:24,239 --> 00:53:26,920
Speaker 4: based player like I am, your like, screw the strategy.

1034
00:53:27,040 --> 00:53:29,120
Speaker 4: I need to be able to dive into these characters.

1035
00:53:30,040 --> 00:53:33,759
Speaker 4: Paladin both of the Crown, you're righteous. You got a

1036
00:53:33,800 --> 00:53:36,200
Speaker 4: lot of clarity. You can tunt your enemies with strategic

1037
00:53:36,200 --> 00:53:39,280
Speaker 4: interrupts and keep your party standing strong with divine allegiance,

1038
00:53:39,280 --> 00:53:43,440
Speaker 4: which is helpful. Okay. Fighter Arcane Archer, you can master

1039
00:53:43,719 --> 00:53:47,319
Speaker 4: dual arts of magic and marksmanship. I love playing as

1040
00:53:47,320 --> 00:53:50,040
Speaker 4: a fighter. It's one of my favorite categories. And to

1041
00:53:50,320 --> 00:53:55,520
Speaker 4: introduce magical elements to a fighter, bam, let's go really excited.

1042
00:53:55,560 --> 00:54:00,480
Speaker 4: My most favorite one though, Monk Drunken Master. Okay, this

1043
00:54:00,560 --> 00:54:02,920
Speaker 4: is where. So if you play D and D, you

1044
00:54:02,960 --> 00:54:05,640
Speaker 4: know there's a thing called home brews, which essentially, if

1045
00:54:05,640 --> 00:54:08,640
Speaker 4: you're playing a home campaign with your buddies, your game

1046
00:54:08,719 --> 00:54:12,520
Speaker 4: master might be like, hey, for our personal set of rules,

1047
00:54:12,560 --> 00:54:15,720
Speaker 4: we're going to allow your weapon to do xyz. Basically,

1048
00:54:15,760 --> 00:54:18,000
Speaker 4: you can make up rules that you agree upon as

1049
00:54:18,040 --> 00:54:20,520
Speaker 4: a table, so they have home breands and things which

1050
00:54:20,520 --> 00:54:25,520
Speaker 4: are not typically in the game. Drunken Master is really

1051
00:54:25,520 --> 00:54:28,600
Speaker 4: cool if the ability to consume alcohol straight from your inventory.

1052
00:54:28,600 --> 00:54:30,520
Speaker 4: There's a ton of liquor all over this game, so

1053
00:54:30,680 --> 00:54:35,520
Speaker 4: very easy to acquire those, and it restores your key,

1054
00:54:35,600 --> 00:54:38,400
Speaker 4: which is important because that's how you deal your larger hits. Okay,

1055
00:54:38,560 --> 00:54:41,960
Speaker 4: So you can also share your bottle with enemies using

1056
00:54:42,000 --> 00:54:45,960
Speaker 4: Intoxicating Strike and you'll generate above toward your armor class

1057
00:54:46,160 --> 00:54:49,439
Speaker 4: and your chance to hit drunken targets. Drunken enemies are

1058
00:54:49,560 --> 00:54:53,360
Speaker 4: also susceptible to the Drunken Master's other abilities, like sobering Realization,

1059
00:54:53,400 --> 00:54:57,120
Speaker 4: which sobers up drunk targets, dealing physical and psychic damage.

1060
00:54:57,880 --> 00:55:01,719
Speaker 4: I just think from a story element, Drunken Master is

1061
00:55:01,719 --> 00:55:04,560
Speaker 4: a great way to lean into I have fought drunk

1062
00:55:04,600 --> 00:55:07,480
Speaker 4: a lot in this game. It's very challenging, and I

1063
00:55:07,520 --> 00:55:09,640
Speaker 4: love the idea of being able to do it, and

1064
00:55:09,680 --> 00:55:12,520
Speaker 4: it's actually really helpful. Okay, I'm gonna go through. The

1065
00:55:12,600 --> 00:55:16,200
Speaker 4: last one's really vast ranger sworn Keeper. You get different

1066
00:55:16,440 --> 00:55:19,880
Speaker 4: swarms of things, jellyfish, bees, whatever, and you can use

1067
00:55:19,920 --> 00:55:22,640
Speaker 4: them to attack. I'm terrified of swarms of things. They

1068
00:55:22,680 --> 00:55:26,360
Speaker 4: really gross me out. This is horrifying. Sorcerer shadow magic.

1069
00:55:27,360 --> 00:55:30,400
Speaker 4: I mean like it sounds. You can hide in shadows,

1070
00:55:30,440 --> 00:55:32,920
Speaker 4: you can walk between places that are in darkness. This

1071
00:55:32,960 --> 00:55:34,879
Speaker 4: is really cool if you play as a rogue a lot.

1072
00:55:35,080 --> 00:55:38,200
Speaker 4: I think that this is a really dope element. Warlock

1073
00:55:38,320 --> 00:55:43,200
Speaker 4: hex Blade make weapons out of magic. Mostly. This one

1074
00:55:43,200 --> 00:55:46,080
Speaker 4: seems to be like a change in your artistic visual

1075
00:55:46,120 --> 00:55:47,759
Speaker 4: stuff of things you could already do. So what you

1076
00:55:47,840 --> 00:55:51,120
Speaker 4: might have cast before with like a staff, now you're

1077
00:55:51,120 --> 00:55:54,080
Speaker 4: doing it with a sword. That's cool. Wizard Blade Singer.

1078
00:55:54,080 --> 00:55:56,359
Speaker 4: It's a subclass marriage of sword play with wizardry. Sort

1079
00:55:56,400 --> 00:55:59,719
Speaker 4: of same things. Warlock hex Blade, wizard Blade Singer. The

1080
00:55:59,760 --> 00:56:01,960
Speaker 4: other her favorite one is swash Buckley. The first time

1081
00:56:01,960 --> 00:56:03,479
Speaker 4: I played D and D, I played as a rogue

1082
00:56:03,520 --> 00:56:06,080
Speaker 4: pirate Lyra who got kicked off of her ship and

1083
00:56:06,160 --> 00:56:08,239
Speaker 4: was forced to party around with these bozos until she

1084
00:56:08,280 --> 00:56:09,920
Speaker 4: could get back to her ship and her lady Love.

1085
00:56:10,520 --> 00:56:12,560
Speaker 4: I loved Lyra. I love playing it her. I miss

1086
00:56:12,640 --> 00:56:14,680
Speaker 4: her frequently, and the fact that they're adding a swaph

1087
00:56:14,680 --> 00:56:16,799
Speaker 4: I was like, I'm recreating her in this game. She

1088
00:56:16,960 --> 00:56:20,360
Speaker 4: I now have a swashbuckling class. That's amazing. One of

1089
00:56:20,400 --> 00:56:22,520
Speaker 4: the cool things is you get to do like fancy footwork,

1090
00:56:22,640 --> 00:56:25,680
Speaker 4: which I think is great. I really like these new

1091
00:56:25,719 --> 00:56:28,000
Speaker 4: class boo. I know you've played a lot of B

1092
00:56:28,120 --> 00:56:30,440
Speaker 4: D three. Is there a subclass you are most excited

1093
00:56:30,480 --> 00:56:31,600
Speaker 4: to tap into?

1094
00:56:32,440 --> 00:56:33,080
Speaker 9: Here's the thing.

1095
00:56:33,239 --> 00:56:34,880
Speaker 1: I have no idea what you're talking about.

1096
00:56:35,000 --> 00:56:36,600
Speaker 6: That's what I was gonna say, Okay, this is good

1097
00:56:36,640 --> 00:56:36,840
Speaker 6: to know.

1098
00:56:37,120 --> 00:56:38,840
Speaker 1: No, no, no, this, I don't know what a subclass is.

1099
00:56:38,840 --> 00:56:41,120
Speaker 1: When you play BOULDERSK three on Easy, there is no

1100
00:56:41,200 --> 00:56:43,440
Speaker 1: sub question. Just play your primary class.

1101
00:56:43,800 --> 00:56:46,120
Speaker 5: If that was gonna be the question, I was going

1102
00:56:46,200 --> 00:56:49,360
Speaker 5: to ask that all sounds amazing and cool and also

1103
00:56:49,440 --> 00:56:53,160
Speaker 5: like we should be doing a D and D group together,

1104
00:56:56,680 --> 00:56:58,560
Speaker 5: and I'm like, twenty twenty five, let's put that on

1105
00:56:58,600 --> 00:56:59,560
Speaker 5: an x Alvy list.

1106
00:57:00,080 --> 00:57:03,680
Speaker 6: But if you've never played D and D or.

1107
00:57:03,719 --> 00:57:06,759
Speaker 5: You're just getting into it, or you've watched Stranger Things

1108
00:57:06,760 --> 00:57:08,640
Speaker 5: and you think it looks cool, or your friend's saying, hey,

1109
00:57:08,640 --> 00:57:11,120
Speaker 5: you need to have sex with hysterion, can you play

1110
00:57:11,160 --> 00:57:12,000
Speaker 5: boulders Gate three?

1111
00:57:12,080 --> 00:57:12,480
Speaker 6: Aboo.

1112
00:57:13,520 --> 00:57:16,960
Speaker 1: Absolutely, I was just gonna say, like, as incredible and

1113
00:57:17,080 --> 00:57:20,640
Speaker 1: in depth as Joelle's summary there was, if none of

1114
00:57:20,680 --> 00:57:23,160
Speaker 1: that made sense to you, like none of that made

1115
00:57:23,200 --> 00:57:26,560
Speaker 1: sense to me. You can still completely play this game

1116
00:57:26,560 --> 00:57:28,360
Speaker 1: and walk away being like that was the greatest game

1117
00:57:28,400 --> 00:57:31,480
Speaker 1: I've ever played. Like the magic of this game is

1118
00:57:31,520 --> 00:57:34,320
Speaker 1: like I've never really played D and D outside of

1119
00:57:34,360 --> 00:57:36,760
Speaker 1: like one off sessions here and there over the years,

1120
00:57:37,720 --> 00:57:39,640
Speaker 1: and you just don't have to. Like D and D

1121
00:57:39,840 --> 00:57:43,240
Speaker 1: is very in depth, then that's obviously what people enjoy

1122
00:57:43,280 --> 00:57:45,680
Speaker 1: about it. But you can just play this game and

1123
00:57:45,720 --> 00:57:48,120
Speaker 1: have an incredible time, and the game will handle the

1124
00:57:48,200 --> 00:57:49,000
Speaker 1: D and D of it all.

1125
00:57:49,080 --> 00:57:52,360
Speaker 4: It'll handle the rules and that's the magic and the math,

1126
00:57:52,400 --> 00:57:55,040
Speaker 4: which is really really hard. If I have add the

1127
00:57:55,040 --> 00:57:57,080
Speaker 4: first year and a half of playing D and D

1128
00:57:57,200 --> 00:57:58,840
Speaker 4: was a struggle for my friends. They were so lovely

1129
00:57:59,160 --> 00:58:00,960
Speaker 4: and patient with me. So I was like, wait, what

1130
00:58:01,000 --> 00:58:01,800
Speaker 4: I'm massing it?

1131
00:58:02,960 --> 00:58:05,280
Speaker 8: But I want to tell you that is mostly math.

1132
00:58:06,240 --> 00:58:09,920
Speaker 4: It is. It is a predominantly math and knowing how

1133
00:58:09,960 --> 00:58:13,240
Speaker 4: to read a map. Yeah, I will say, like, what's

1134
00:58:13,240 --> 00:58:15,600
Speaker 4: really cool about subclasses is, for example, if you're playing

1135
00:58:15,600 --> 00:58:17,360
Speaker 4: on Easy and you just have the Broad class, you're

1136
00:58:17,360 --> 00:58:20,520
Speaker 4: a Barbarian, You're a rogue whatever, Like it's really cool

1137
00:58:20,520 --> 00:58:22,680
Speaker 4: and if you understand basic fight mechanics, you sort of

1138
00:58:22,680 --> 00:58:24,560
Speaker 4: get it. This guy's a tank, this one's a healer,

1139
00:58:25,360 --> 00:58:29,439
Speaker 4: this person somewhere in between. But with the subclasses really

1140
00:58:29,440 --> 00:58:32,600
Speaker 4: allows you to imbue an element of your own identity

1141
00:58:32,640 --> 00:58:34,680
Speaker 4: and story into the character. One of my favorite things

1142
00:58:34,680 --> 00:58:37,800
Speaker 4: about BG three is the character builder. It's super unique.

1143
00:58:38,080 --> 00:58:40,520
Speaker 4: I had a friend who was a beta tester for

1144
00:58:40,560 --> 00:58:41,959
Speaker 4: this game for like a year and a half before

1145
00:58:41,960 --> 00:58:43,520
Speaker 4: it came out, and so I played the intro to

1146
00:58:43,520 --> 00:58:47,000
Speaker 4: balder K three probably nine times just because we would

1147
00:58:47,000 --> 00:58:48,960
Speaker 4: costantly play it over and over again to figure out, like, oh,

1148
00:58:49,000 --> 00:58:51,360
Speaker 4: here's what they've changed. They've you know, smoothed out the

1149
00:58:51,360 --> 00:58:54,040
Speaker 4: mechanics here or whatever. But one of the best things

1150
00:58:54,040 --> 00:58:57,800
Speaker 4: they did was like, early on, all the l's are white,

1151
00:58:57,800 --> 00:58:59,600
Speaker 4: and I remember being they were like, what are your notes?

1152
00:58:59,640 --> 00:59:01,400
Speaker 4: I'm like, give me a black else? What is wrong

1153
00:59:01,440 --> 00:59:01,960
Speaker 4: with you?

1154
00:59:02,840 --> 00:59:03,000
Speaker 2: Oh?

1155
00:59:03,040 --> 00:59:05,160
Speaker 4: I'm like, why can't I only play as an elfin

1156
00:59:05,280 --> 00:59:07,840
Speaker 4: D and D ever? And I was like, this is horrifying.

1157
00:59:07,920 --> 00:59:09,760
Speaker 4: You have to give me black and brown l's. And

1158
00:59:09,760 --> 00:59:11,640
Speaker 4: when by the time the game comes out, it's so

1159
00:59:11,760 --> 00:59:14,080
Speaker 4: smooth and beautiful. And so if you get into subclasses,

1160
00:59:14,120 --> 00:59:18,040
Speaker 4: which I highly recommend you do, you can really articulate

1161
00:59:18,040 --> 00:59:20,560
Speaker 4: your character in a specific way, so that how their

1162
00:59:20,760 --> 00:59:23,520
Speaker 4: fighting reflects how you sort of view them in your

1163
00:59:23,520 --> 00:59:26,240
Speaker 4: heads story and also gives you an ability, like now

1164
00:59:26,280 --> 00:59:29,200
Speaker 4: that there's Steam and you can do crossover play, which

1165
00:59:29,240 --> 00:59:30,960
Speaker 4: is the thing I've started to do with my friends.

1166
00:59:30,960 --> 00:59:33,080
Speaker 4: It really gives you the ability to craft a team

1167
00:59:33,200 --> 00:59:36,840
Speaker 4: that is like unstoppable if you have a deep understanding

1168
00:59:36,840 --> 00:59:39,520
Speaker 4: of how the subclasses work. It's been a lot of

1169
00:59:39,520 --> 00:59:41,280
Speaker 4: fun to play around with them. Looking forward to diving

1170
00:59:41,280 --> 00:59:43,120
Speaker 4: into some more of these and the next year. I

1171
00:59:43,160 --> 00:59:45,320
Speaker 4: think this is a game that, like, if you're a

1172
00:59:45,360 --> 00:59:47,480
Speaker 4: scrim fan, a Skyrim fan, you know you could play

1173
00:59:47,480 --> 00:59:49,760
Speaker 4: that game twenty years after it came out, still fascinating.

1174
00:59:50,280 --> 00:59:52,840
Speaker 4: All of the Grand Theft autos have similar playback ability.

1175
00:59:52,880 --> 00:59:54,120
Speaker 4: I think this is a game you can be playing

1176
00:59:54,160 --> 00:59:55,160
Speaker 4: for a very long time.

1177
00:59:56,280 --> 00:59:57,360
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, I.

1178
00:59:57,360 --> 00:59:59,960
Speaker 2: Just want to say, as someone who has DM multip

1179
01:00:00,280 --> 01:00:02,600
Speaker 2: one off's for a boot the disrespect, I felt that

1180
01:00:02,920 --> 01:00:06,600
Speaker 2: I was like, I don't have that much familiarity with

1181
01:00:06,840 --> 01:00:07,200
Speaker 2: D and D.

1182
01:00:08,360 --> 01:00:10,960
Speaker 7: I don't know what subclasses are.

1183
01:00:13,160 --> 01:00:14,360
Speaker 6: Brings about to fight?

1184
01:00:17,680 --> 01:00:19,959
Speaker 2: Yeah, send a swarm keeper over at you a boot

1185
01:00:21,240 --> 01:00:24,240
Speaker 2: the nice thing. In addition to all these sub classes,

1186
01:00:24,640 --> 01:00:26,720
Speaker 2: they made a bunch of the mods that were only

1187
01:00:26,760 --> 01:00:29,640
Speaker 2: available on PC are now available on console as well,

1188
01:00:29,720 --> 01:00:32,800
Speaker 2: so if you are interested in playing, the game is

1189
01:00:33,200 --> 01:00:37,480
Speaker 2: very very large, like sometimes intimidatingly. So they now have

1190
01:00:37,800 --> 01:00:41,800
Speaker 2: two X and ten X experience point modifiers, so if

1191
01:00:41,800 --> 01:00:43,360
Speaker 2: you want to just go through it a little more quickly,

1192
01:00:44,480 --> 01:00:46,680
Speaker 2: there's there's a lot of extra stuff to add into it.

1193
01:00:47,440 --> 01:00:50,640
Speaker 2: My favorite mod they added more capes. I was very

1194
01:00:50,680 --> 01:00:52,400
Speaker 2: upset at the end of that one, but I only

1195
01:00:52,400 --> 01:00:54,640
Speaker 2: had Oh my god, yeah, I had one cape and

1196
01:00:54,680 --> 01:00:56,280
Speaker 2: that was it. I was like, I have a party

1197
01:00:56,280 --> 01:00:57,800
Speaker 2: of four at all times, and only one of us

1198
01:00:57,840 --> 01:00:58,400
Speaker 2: gets a cape.

1199
01:00:58,400 --> 01:00:59,400
Speaker 7: That is not fair.

1200
01:00:59,520 --> 01:01:00,560
Speaker 6: This is candalus.

1201
01:01:00,760 --> 01:01:01,080
Speaker 7: Okay.

1202
01:01:01,120 --> 01:01:04,240
Speaker 5: Most important question though for many of us out there

1203
01:01:04,800 --> 01:01:06,600
Speaker 5: is there a dog and can you pet it?

1204
01:01:06,880 --> 01:01:09,920
Speaker 4: Not only is there a dog and you can pet it,

1205
01:01:10,280 --> 01:01:11,959
Speaker 4: you rescue it in the woods. You get to decide

1206
01:01:12,000 --> 01:01:13,640
Speaker 4: whether to save it or put it out of his

1207
01:01:14,000 --> 01:01:16,800
Speaker 4: misery or send it away. If you save it, he

1208
01:01:16,880 --> 01:01:19,160
Speaker 4: comes and brings you little treats. When you go to camp.

1209
01:01:19,240 --> 01:01:24,440
Speaker 4: He's like, hey, I found a little potion. He is precious.

1210
01:01:24,480 --> 01:01:27,680
Speaker 4: And you can also have an owl bear if you prefer.

1211
01:01:27,920 --> 01:01:31,000
Speaker 2: Yes, you can have both. You can have a dog

1212
01:01:31,120 --> 01:01:32,600
Speaker 2: and the Albert don't have to choose.

1213
01:01:32,880 --> 01:01:34,560
Speaker 4: I killed the owl bear the first time, and then

1214
01:01:34,600 --> 01:01:36,360
Speaker 4: I felt my friends would not let me live there.

1215
01:01:36,360 --> 01:01:38,280
Speaker 4: How could you kill the baby Albart? I was like

1216
01:01:38,440 --> 01:01:41,400
Speaker 4: they said it was bad, Okay, I trusted the people

1217
01:01:41,440 --> 01:01:46,920
Speaker 4: I saw on the road. I'm so sorry, all right?

1218
01:01:47,440 --> 01:01:49,760
Speaker 2: From Balder's Gate three, And yes, we do still need

1219
01:01:49,800 --> 01:01:51,800
Speaker 2: to figure out a way for Rosie to play this.

1220
01:01:52,120 --> 01:01:54,520
Speaker 5: Yes, I need to get a PlayStation with five guys

1221
01:01:54,680 --> 01:01:58,120
Speaker 5: if I don't.

1222
01:02:00,080 --> 01:02:02,120
Speaker 6: It out book like, come on, I need to get

1223
01:02:02,120 --> 01:02:02,760
Speaker 6: a gaming lot.

1224
01:02:02,840 --> 01:02:03,200
Speaker 7: I do that.

1225
01:02:03,360 --> 01:02:06,360
Speaker 4: Well, you can play ste on your MacBook and have

1226
01:02:06,720 --> 01:02:08,240
Speaker 4: I have bald date three on. I can't play right

1227
01:02:08,280 --> 01:02:09,960
Speaker 4: now that I'm enough memory, so you know, but.

1228
01:02:11,600 --> 01:02:13,120
Speaker 6: Not enough memory BIB.

1229
01:02:15,040 --> 01:02:16,960
Speaker 2: For our listeners that need to kill a little bit

1230
01:02:17,000 --> 01:02:20,400
Speaker 2: of time while they wait for Rosie to open up

1231
01:02:20,440 --> 01:02:23,680
Speaker 2: Bather's Gate three, A boo, why don't you talk about

1232
01:02:23,840 --> 01:02:24,520
Speaker 2: Hades two?

1233
01:02:24,960 --> 01:02:27,760
Speaker 1: That's right, and in fact, kill a little time is

1234
01:02:27,760 --> 01:02:31,000
Speaker 1: a bit of a pun because Hades two Cardinal is

1235
01:02:31,040 --> 01:02:36,960
Speaker 1: an isometric rogue light rogue light with the most gorgeous

1236
01:02:37,040 --> 01:02:38,600
Speaker 1: art style you've ever seen, maybe one of the.

1237
01:02:38,520 --> 01:02:44,240
Speaker 5: Best looking games in the last decade.

1238
01:02:40,560 --> 01:02:44,880
Speaker 9: And the Oh my gosh, I throw the soundtrack on

1239
01:02:45,000 --> 01:02:45,520
Speaker 9: all the time.

1240
01:02:45,560 --> 01:02:49,280
Speaker 7: Darren is incredible And if.

1241
01:02:48,760 --> 01:02:51,120
Speaker 1: You're if you're also a sucker like me for Greek mythology,

1242
01:02:51,200 --> 01:02:55,080
Speaker 1: like this game has it all and you're in particular.

1243
01:02:55,080 --> 01:02:58,680
Speaker 1: In Hades two, you are on a revenge mission as

1244
01:02:58,720 --> 01:03:02,320
Speaker 1: the daughter of Hades and you're out to kill Kronos,

1245
01:03:02,360 --> 01:03:07,360
Speaker 1: the Titan of Time. Itself incredible and it's so good.

1246
01:03:07,440 --> 01:03:11,040
Speaker 1: I mean, Hades won is incredible and won a bunch

1247
01:03:11,040 --> 01:03:14,640
Speaker 1: of awards and is one of the biggest games of

1248
01:03:14,680 --> 01:03:18,160
Speaker 1: the last few years for a reason, and somehow they're

1249
01:03:18,200 --> 01:03:19,600
Speaker 1: pulling it off again with Hades too.

1250
01:03:19,840 --> 01:03:22,920
Speaker 9: Right now, to be clear, it's still in early access.

1251
01:03:23,000 --> 01:03:25,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, so you can only play it on Steam or

1252
01:03:25,560 --> 01:03:27,400
Speaker 1: like me, on Steam Deck, which I think is the

1253
01:03:27,400 --> 01:03:30,640
Speaker 1: best place to play it. And it's still a work

1254
01:03:30,640 --> 01:03:34,560
Speaker 1: in progress actually, So I actually have a family member

1255
01:03:34,560 --> 01:03:38,280
Speaker 1: who got obsessed with this and commandeered my Steam deck

1256
01:03:38,320 --> 01:03:41,400
Speaker 1: for weeks to play so much of it, and she

1257
01:03:43,320 --> 01:03:46,960
Speaker 1: has reached the end of what they've made. Like once

1258
01:03:47,000 --> 01:03:49,400
Speaker 1: you play enough of it, you just get a message

1259
01:03:49,400 --> 01:03:52,160
Speaker 1: on screen that says, Okay, we haven't made the rest

1260
01:03:52,200 --> 01:03:55,400
Speaker 1: of the game. Yet congrats on playing all of it

1261
01:03:55,480 --> 01:03:59,680
Speaker 1: so far. And so she left it, and you know,

1262
01:03:59,720 --> 01:04:01,680
Speaker 1: I was talking to her recently and I was like,

1263
01:04:01,680 --> 01:04:03,960
Speaker 1: I'm going to talk about Hades on X ray coming up.

1264
01:04:04,200 --> 01:04:06,440
Speaker 1: What do you want me to say about it? And

1265
01:04:06,560 --> 01:04:09,600
Speaker 1: I think what was interesting is she also loved Hades

1266
01:04:09,600 --> 01:04:12,720
Speaker 1: one and her take was if you bounced off of

1267
01:04:12,760 --> 01:04:14,640
Speaker 1: Hades one, if you played it because so and so

1268
01:04:14,760 --> 01:04:16,800
Speaker 1: recommended it to you, and you were like, ugh, I'm

1269
01:04:16,840 --> 01:04:20,000
Speaker 1: getting frustrated. I'm not having fun. I'm just doing these

1270
01:04:20,040 --> 01:04:22,280
Speaker 1: same levels over and over again. It's getting stuck at

1271
01:04:22,280 --> 01:04:25,440
Speaker 1: the same spot over and over again. Give Hades to

1272
01:04:25,600 --> 01:04:30,040
Speaker 1: another shot, Yeah, because they've fixed that, like I'm stuck

1273
01:04:30,080 --> 01:04:32,600
Speaker 1: against a wall problem that a lot of Rogue like

1274
01:04:32,640 --> 01:04:36,080
Speaker 1: and Rogue Light games can become. That I think a

1275
01:04:36,120 --> 01:04:39,440
Speaker 1: lot of that turns a lot of people off. This

1276
01:04:39,520 --> 01:04:42,400
Speaker 1: game has like practically no grind, Like if you get

1277
01:04:42,440 --> 01:04:45,120
Speaker 1: stuck on a certain route, there are multiple routes you

1278
01:04:45,160 --> 01:04:46,920
Speaker 1: can go and you can just be like, fuck it,

1279
01:04:46,920 --> 01:04:48,360
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna go work on this route for a

1280
01:04:48,440 --> 01:04:51,840
Speaker 1: little bit and then once I'm ready and leveled up,

1281
01:04:51,840 --> 01:04:54,160
Speaker 1: I'll just go back and try the main route again.

1282
01:04:55,160 --> 01:04:57,080
Speaker 1: There's always like two or three different things you can

1283
01:04:57,120 --> 01:04:58,920
Speaker 1: be working on that are all going to help you

1284
01:04:59,800 --> 01:05:01,680
Speaker 1: get it's stronger so that you can work your way

1285
01:05:01,720 --> 01:05:03,840
Speaker 1: through the main route versus in haities one, you just

1286
01:05:03,920 --> 01:05:05,560
Speaker 1: kind of had to keep doing the main route over

1287
01:05:05,600 --> 01:05:08,439
Speaker 1: and over and over again and continue leveling up until

1288
01:05:08,440 --> 01:05:10,240
Speaker 1: you could make it all the way through. So I

1289
01:05:10,240 --> 01:05:14,000
Speaker 1: think there are some smart decisions in this game. It's

1290
01:05:14,040 --> 01:05:16,600
Speaker 1: also in early access, like I said, so it's being

1291
01:05:16,640 --> 01:05:22,320
Speaker 1: developed so like it will only get better, which is

1292
01:05:22,360 --> 01:05:25,160
Speaker 1: kind of astounding because if they release this game today

1293
01:05:25,280 --> 01:05:28,040
Speaker 1: right now, in its current state for sixty full dollars,

1294
01:05:28,200 --> 01:05:30,680
Speaker 1: it would absolutely be worth every single.

1295
01:05:30,360 --> 01:05:33,960
Speaker 10: Penn Yeah, okay wow, And it's supposed to be done

1296
01:05:34,200 --> 01:05:38,000
Speaker 10: in like March of twenty twenty five, right I believe.

1297
01:05:39,000 --> 01:05:39,200
Speaker 4: No.

1298
01:05:39,360 --> 01:05:43,760
Speaker 1: They this is a very small indie studio, and I've

1299
01:05:43,800 --> 01:05:46,640
Speaker 1: heard they have a pretty good sort of company culture.

1300
01:05:46,680 --> 01:05:49,720
Speaker 1: They're very anti crunch. So it'll be done when it's done.

1301
01:05:50,240 --> 01:05:50,760
Speaker 9: If it takes it.

1302
01:05:50,800 --> 01:05:52,480
Speaker 1: If it takes them a whole other year to get

1303
01:05:52,480 --> 01:05:54,000
Speaker 1: through it and put it in a state where they

1304
01:05:54,000 --> 01:05:56,320
Speaker 1: call it final, that's the time they're going to take.

1305
01:05:56,360 --> 01:05:59,080
Speaker 1: Okay from what I know, So there is no hard

1306
01:05:59,160 --> 01:06:01,920
Speaker 1: date or even target date. Yet it's still just an

1307
01:06:02,000 --> 01:06:08,000
Speaker 1: early access and still in development. So that's my recommendation.

1308
01:06:08,120 --> 01:06:10,760
Speaker 1: Play Hades two. You just have to play it on

1309
01:06:10,800 --> 01:06:11,520
Speaker 1: your Steam deck right now.

1310
01:06:11,560 --> 01:06:12,800
Speaker 8: Have to wait till it comes to the switch.

1311
01:06:13,920 --> 01:06:19,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, like allow a right, well, Carmen while you kill

1312
01:06:19,320 --> 01:06:22,520
Speaker 2: time waiting for Haiti Shooters to arrive on the switch.

1313
01:06:23,600 --> 01:06:26,120
Speaker 2: If you're looking for a game that has some repetitive

1314
01:06:26,160 --> 01:06:28,520
Speaker 2: tasks for you to do to distract you from the

1315
01:06:28,560 --> 01:06:34,440
Speaker 2: horrors of everything the world in general, has a suggestion.

1316
01:06:35,440 --> 01:06:40,280
Speaker 5: Yes, this game is called Unpacking. This is probably the

1317
01:06:40,320 --> 01:06:42,240
Speaker 5: most relaxing game.

1318
01:06:42,520 --> 01:06:44,200
Speaker 6: That I played all year.

1319
01:06:45,000 --> 01:06:49,240
Speaker 5: It's beautiful to look at. It is not a big

1320
01:06:49,360 --> 01:06:52,200
Speaker 5: time commitment. You can finish it quickly if that's what

1321
01:06:52,280 --> 01:06:54,880
Speaker 5: you enjoy doing, but you can also play it for

1322
01:06:54,920 --> 01:06:57,120
Speaker 5: a long time and take your time and dip back

1323
01:06:57,120 --> 01:06:58,920
Speaker 5: into it. Great game to play before you go to

1324
01:06:58,960 --> 01:07:02,360
Speaker 5: bed if you're a relaxing gamer. For a long time,

1325
01:07:02,400 --> 01:07:05,400
Speaker 5: that for me was the Pokemon Cafe game, but this

1326
01:07:05,520 --> 01:07:07,560
Speaker 5: took its for a long time.

1327
01:07:07,840 --> 01:07:10,520
Speaker 6: It's so good. It's so good free game on the switch.

1328
01:07:10,560 --> 01:07:11,520
Speaker 6: Everyone should play it.

1329
01:07:11,600 --> 01:07:17,200
Speaker 5: But Unpacking is essentially like a cozy game where you

1330
01:07:17,600 --> 01:07:23,440
Speaker 5: essentially explore a life through unpacking different houses throughout different years,

1331
01:07:24,040 --> 01:07:26,960
Speaker 5: and it is so beautifully rendered. The art style is

1332
01:07:27,000 --> 01:07:30,760
Speaker 5: completely gorgeous, and it has that best kind of balance

1333
01:07:30,840 --> 01:07:33,000
Speaker 5: that a lot of these games do, whether it's like

1334
01:07:33,360 --> 01:07:37,800
Speaker 5: November or you know, as I mentioned before, like Spiritfarer,

1335
01:07:38,520 --> 01:07:41,640
Speaker 5: it has like a little melancholy like you can kind

1336
01:07:41,640 --> 01:07:44,800
Speaker 5: of work out through the game, Like as you unpack,

1337
01:07:44,880 --> 01:07:47,120
Speaker 5: it's like, oh, you were obviously moved in with someone

1338
01:07:47,160 --> 01:07:49,200
Speaker 5: in this game, and now their photo is not.

1339
01:07:49,240 --> 01:07:51,520
Speaker 6: In your next house, so like what happened to them?

1340
01:07:51,560 --> 01:07:56,200
Speaker 5: And it is so cool and thoughtful and interesting, and

1341
01:07:56,240 --> 01:07:58,200
Speaker 5: the mechanics are so great, and you add a lot

1342
01:07:58,200 --> 01:08:02,920
Speaker 5: of freedom to like Desigre, I'm the rooms as well,

1343
01:08:02,960 --> 01:08:06,720
Speaker 5: and there's sometimes you're just in a flat share, sometimes

1344
01:08:06,720 --> 01:08:08,720
Speaker 5: you're in a small apartment, sometimes you move into a

1345
01:08:08,720 --> 01:08:12,040
Speaker 5: big house, and you learn a lot about the different

1346
01:08:13,440 --> 01:08:16,080
Speaker 5: space that this person is in through their spaces.

1347
01:08:16,520 --> 01:08:18,719
Speaker 6: It's just such a great game. It took me way

1348
01:08:18,760 --> 01:08:19,439
Speaker 6: longer than.

1349
01:08:19,280 --> 01:08:21,639
Speaker 5: It should have to get it because this is always

1350
01:08:21,720 --> 01:08:24,519
Speaker 5: up there on like the best cozy games, but this

1351
01:08:24,560 --> 01:08:27,240
Speaker 5: one was a really great find at the end of

1352
01:08:27,240 --> 01:08:29,639
Speaker 5: the year for me, and I'll definitely be going back

1353
01:08:29,680 --> 01:08:30,680
Speaker 5: and replaying it.

1354
01:08:30,680 --> 01:08:32,280
Speaker 6: Because it's just so intricate.

1355
01:08:32,360 --> 01:08:35,439
Speaker 5: You've got everything from like a little video game controller,

1356
01:08:35,479 --> 01:08:37,680
Speaker 5: where does that go to like the razor.

1357
01:08:37,400 --> 01:08:40,080
Speaker 6: In the bathroom, And it's yeah, it's great.

1358
01:08:40,160 --> 01:08:43,840
Speaker 5: It's so it's so much better than my superlative or

1359
01:08:43,880 --> 01:08:47,200
Speaker 5: any reviews can really explain. It's it's kind of a

1360
01:08:47,200 --> 01:08:49,639
Speaker 5: prime example of what's great about a cozy game.

1361
01:08:49,920 --> 01:08:52,080
Speaker 10: It's a twenty dollars in the Switch and I just

1362
01:08:52,400 --> 01:08:54,080
Speaker 10: bought it and downloaded it to my switch.

1363
01:08:55,120 --> 01:08:56,439
Speaker 8: About it, I.

1364
01:08:56,400 --> 01:08:59,000
Speaker 5: Will also say if you're like a if you're like

1365
01:08:59,040 --> 01:09:02,240
Speaker 5: a thrifty per and you're like, oh, maybe twenty dollars

1366
01:09:02,280 --> 01:09:04,840
Speaker 5: is a bit much for a game that's maybe like

1367
01:09:04,920 --> 01:09:06,240
Speaker 5: six or seven hours, Well, guess what.

1368
01:09:06,520 --> 01:09:08,080
Speaker 6: It's always on the Switch sales.

1369
01:09:08,120 --> 01:09:10,519
Speaker 5: So if you always go to that great deal section

1370
01:09:10,680 --> 01:09:13,440
Speaker 5: on the Switch, you can usually find this or Wildflowers.

1371
01:09:13,479 --> 01:09:15,360
Speaker 5: But yeah, come and I'm very excited to your thoughts

1372
01:09:15,360 --> 01:09:21,880
Speaker 5: because it really is just a totally unique game. It's yeah,

1373
01:09:22,000 --> 01:09:24,400
Speaker 5: so if you do love unpacking in real life, I

1374
01:09:24,439 --> 01:09:27,479
Speaker 5: hate to pack, but I do like ye unpack and like,

1375
01:09:27,960 --> 01:09:30,280
Speaker 5: you know, establish a vibe of a room and stuff.

1376
01:09:30,280 --> 01:09:31,360
Speaker 6: And this definitely gives you.

1377
01:09:31,600 --> 01:09:33,879
Speaker 5: It's definitely got a little bit of that like sims

1378
01:09:33,960 --> 01:09:36,519
Speaker 5: light like kind of vibe, like if you are someone

1379
01:09:36,560 --> 01:09:38,880
Speaker 5: who just loved building the house in the Simper Animal

1380
01:09:40,400 --> 01:09:45,479
Speaker 5: or Animal crossing the expansion on the DC Happy Home signs,

1381
01:09:45,600 --> 01:09:48,840
Speaker 5: I love that game. This is definitely very similar to that,

1382
01:09:48,920 --> 01:09:53,360
Speaker 5: except there's less like celebration of somebody coming in and

1383
01:09:53,360 --> 01:09:55,360
Speaker 5: being like you did a great job, or like I

1384
01:09:55,439 --> 01:09:57,720
Speaker 5: hate it, and this is more like you're just like,

1385
01:09:57,840 --> 01:10:00,439
Speaker 5: isn't this just the brigmarole of life? But isn't it

1386
01:10:00,439 --> 01:10:05,120
Speaker 5: that small rigmarole actually amazing? Like isn't doing the small

1387
01:10:05,240 --> 01:10:07,160
Speaker 5: things the work of life?

1388
01:10:07,240 --> 01:10:08,599
Speaker 6: Like It's it's very cool.

1389
01:10:08,400 --> 01:10:08,800
Speaker 7: In that way.

1390
01:10:08,840 --> 01:10:11,120
Speaker 8: Yeah, solid, it's a very cute game.

1391
01:10:12,080 --> 01:10:12,599
Speaker 7: So that's it.

1392
01:10:12,640 --> 01:10:16,559
Speaker 2: So those are our X ray reretivations. Just to recap

1393
01:10:16,640 --> 01:10:19,439
Speaker 2: really quickly. We had Bilatro, we had Marvel Rivals, we

1394
01:10:19,479 --> 01:10:22,160
Speaker 2: had Dragon Age Vailguard. We had hell Divers too. We

01:10:22,200 --> 01:10:25,040
Speaker 2: had Wildflowers, we had the Legend of Zelda, Echoes of Wisdom,

1396
01:10:25,280 --> 01:10:30,240
Speaker 2: Balder's Gate, three Haighties, two, Unpacking and playing a game

1397
01:10:30,280 --> 01:10:31,960
Speaker 2: of D and D with me where I'm dm ing

1398
01:10:32,120 --> 01:10:34,639
Speaker 2: that a boo has I guess fallen asleep during or something.

1399
01:10:34,640 --> 01:10:37,960
Speaker 7: He missed it, he forgot to show up.

1400
