Speaker 1: How's it going, everybody? Welcome to another episode of Nernificent.
Speaker 1: I am your host, Iffy Wanyway, Kenny Fernandez sat this
Speaker 1: one out. She's a busy lady. It's her birthday. She
Speaker 1: got stuff to do. Happy birthday, Danny. It won't be
Speaker 1: your birthday by the time this comes out. But I
Speaker 1: have some friends here, you know, I have some friends.
Speaker 1: They're hanging from the like, we're not going to be
Speaker 1: on the mike. Let me go get them over in
Speaker 1: the break room, you know, they're they're just in the back.
Speaker 1: You know. One has a spinner smoking a cigarette, ready
Speaker 1: to talk to us. Apparently we work at the docks.
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, you know. Just I'm deciding do we
Speaker 1: do take this from the top again or do we
Speaker 1: just keep going? Oh my gosh, this is what we
Speaker 1: assume people want. Yes, I mean, I've heard podcasts, right,
Speaker 1: this is what it is. I don't know, I don't know.
Speaker 1: There's three people talking. It's a podcast. Every every uberpool
Speaker 1: you've ever been in is a podcast. Every time I'm
Speaker 1: on an airplane, what do you do? Every every time
Speaker 1: I'm in a room with someone and I'm just you know, talking,
Speaker 1: how many times, like since you're in l A. You're
Speaker 1: working all the time. How often you realize like, oh,
Speaker 1: I only talk to you and we have a podcast?
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, right now? When you pointed this, you guys
Speaker 1: know if podcast anyway, those voices are Keith, Keating Bay
Speaker 1: and from the New Players Joined podcast. If you couldn't
Speaker 1: tell I was stalling because I didn't know your last name,
Speaker 1: It's fair. I could have asked before, but we just
Speaker 1: jumped in. I'm gonna be real with you. When you
Speaker 1: were on our show, before you showed up, I was like, okay,
Speaker 1: I have to look at a video clip real quick
Speaker 1: where somebody introduces Iffy because I am not going to
Speaker 1: take a stab at this last name. What's funny is
Speaker 1: like when you think about like man one, like we
Speaker 1: often don't know our friend's last name because we refer
Speaker 1: to him just in the first name, and then if
Speaker 1: we do lots of times, we don't know how to
Speaker 1: pronounce it, especially if you got some days, Oh my gosh,
Speaker 1: how are you all doing doing good? How are you
Speaker 1: good good? You know? The way we like to start
Speaker 1: off the pod now is to ask about something you're
Speaker 1: geeking out about this week. So yeah, so if you
Speaker 1: have something in mind. Why don't you tell me what's
Speaker 1: your geeking out about. I'll start to give you time,
Speaker 1: because I think I did just bring that on. I
Speaker 1: got took up your last name, like I gotta look,
Speaker 1: Danny's the one who keeps it on the rails, you
Speaker 1: know now that it's just iffy, It's it's like out
Speaker 1: of sorry. But but yeah, no, I'm I'm gosh, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm still kind of freaking out about the footage that
Speaker 1: came out. We were just talking about it for the
Speaker 1: Final Fantasy seven and you know, I and also I'm
Speaker 1: nerding out about the fact that you know, I'm starting
Speaker 1: to get the good you know, no no desk in
Speaker 1: any of the smaller devs, but like the bigger devs
Speaker 1: are sent to me appointments for E three and like,
Speaker 1: let me see that, and it's always like very sneaky.
Speaker 1: It's like, it's this game we already announced in two
Speaker 1: unannounced games. Yeah yeah, let me, let me, let me
Speaker 1: add let me in there and playing it. What about y'all.
Speaker 1: I'll say that non game related, I'm geeking out a
Speaker 1: little bit over Barry on HBO, which shocked. It's a
Speaker 1: show that I was like I'm not gonna like this,
Speaker 1: so I'm feel good. I was like, I don't even know.
Speaker 1: They're sad comedy and I started watching, like this is
Speaker 1: the best show. Yeah, it's so good, so funny, so
Speaker 1: good to plays. No, ho, Hank is my new hero.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that's actually a buddy of mine, Anthony carry. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we met through we volunteer for this camp called comfort
Speaker 1: Zone Camp. It's a camp for kids who have like
Speaker 1: lost a parent or a loved one, teaching him good
Speaker 1: coping methods and you know, you get paired off with
Speaker 1: there's little buddies that get paired off with big buddies.
Speaker 1: And then I was he was like I acting. I
Speaker 1: was like a word, Yeah, he's he's super dope, dude.
Speaker 1: He's question Also, Victors is as from Gotham. He was,
Speaker 1: that's who who he also plays. It's mostly just actors.
Speaker 1: Oh no, no, that's who Anthony played. So he was
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I'm confused. So you're saying that these men
Speaker 1: aren't the character. Yeah, yeah, sorry, I have to break that.
Speaker 1: And also that this fellow you're talking about is not
Speaker 1: more than one person very lost about how Hollywood works.
Speaker 1: Game oh man, but yeah, no, I have to catch
Speaker 1: up on season to a barrier. I have been so good.
Speaker 1: It's so unbelievably funny and so well acted and so
Speaker 1: well written to for video games. I'm still geeking out.
Speaker 1: I just finished Persona five for the third time. Man
Speaker 1: for the third I hear it's long, and I'm still
Speaker 1: finding new things, and I just like, still love the ending.
Speaker 1: If anybody out there hasn't played Persona five, get on
Speaker 1: that because it is amazing. I feel like all we
Speaker 1: do is promote that game. I feel like we promote
Speaker 1: that game way more than our podcast. But guys, go
Speaker 1: buy Persona five, subscribe to those Persona games. I'm playing
Speaker 1: right now. I jumped in the Apex for the first time.
Speaker 1: I keep jumping into games when they're dying. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: keep doing this. I keep doing this thing where I'm like, like,
Speaker 1: Apex is a new thing. Everybody's going for Fortnite. I'm like, yeah, whatever,
Speaker 1: I don't want to do Battley ot Like basically, I
Speaker 1: was like I don't care, but then it's free and
Speaker 1: I jumped in. I'm like, oh, I get why this
Speaker 1: is fun. But I just read an article that was like,
Speaker 1: all their players are leaving because I'm not able to
Speaker 1: update it fast enough for Pickle. I'm gonna call BS
Speaker 1: on that. Then that's it's sensational journalism. And I hate
Speaker 1: that they keep doing right because all it's doing is
Speaker 1: trying to promote that crunch lifestyle. So or not even
Speaker 1: a Respawn came out and made a firm stance of like, yes,
Speaker 1: our updates are going to take longer to come out
Speaker 1: so that our workers can have a regular nine to five.
Speaker 1: And Fortnite reports came out that they have been working
Speaker 1: like just almost twenty four hours because because of a pack.
Speaker 1: So so I think you don't have to worry. All
Speaker 1: these articles are so dumb and it's and it just
Speaker 1: reminds you that gaming journalists don't even really have to
Speaker 1: be real journals right now. Real journalists don't have Yes,
Speaker 1: It's just it really does bug me when like, if you,
Speaker 1: if you're like me who constantly are watching like game stats,
Speaker 1: you're very aware of how much it fluctuates from time
Speaker 1: to time. And I don't think the game is dying
Speaker 1: the same way people look Fortnite is dying. When Apex
Speaker 1: came out and now people are going to ford, the
Speaker 1: people get bored and it's a free game exactly, exactly.
Speaker 1: You have the benefit. It's not like if it was
Speaker 1: a full featured game that you paid for and you
Speaker 1: saw players leaving, it'd be scary. But this game that
Speaker 1: is free, people will just have it on their their
Speaker 1: computers and then when it gets updated, they're going to
Speaker 1: check it out. Exactly the new seasons jump, but the
Speaker 1: other things that we're all talking about HBO and I'm
Speaker 1: watching it consistently. It's like, because now TV shows, it's
Speaker 1: just harder, right, you eventually get to them that sort
Speaker 1: of thing, Chernobyl. I'm legitimately watching every week it comes out.
Speaker 1: Everyone's saying, Chernobyl, good to check that. It's very scary.
Speaker 1: The whole thing is scary and depressing and dramatic. But
Speaker 1: the crazy thing about it, this happened, so just the
Speaker 1: fact of watching it. I geek out on horrible nuclear
Speaker 1: disasters whenever, like three Mile Island, Chernobyl, Fukushima, Like I
Speaker 1: geek out on the actual like not the dragon Dragons
Speaker 1: e po and go to hell with that. I'm I'm
Speaker 1: locked into did real go down? I gotta know everything
Speaker 1: about fishing. Yeah, I will explain the meltdown at your
Speaker 1: novel to you whenever you Well, that's good. Well today
Speaker 1: we're talking about some real stuff, really speaking of dragons
Speaker 1: and go. This is a clean podcast, and that's the
Speaker 1: first time I mean it and not a joke. You're
Speaker 1: gonna be bleeped out so much. But that's also dance jobs.
Speaker 1: So that's his problem. I'll try not. We'll forget this
Speaker 1: in two minutes. I grew up in a locker room.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be real hard from Boston, enough said. But yeah,
Speaker 1: so we're talking about the Witcher. Which when did y'all
Speaker 1: kind of get introduced to the Witcher? Because with me
Speaker 1: it was Witcher three Witcher. The first time I saw
Speaker 1: the Witcher was a trailer of the first one, and
Speaker 1: it was when Gerald is chasing a werewolf basically over
Speaker 1: all these like houses and all these sorts of things.
Speaker 1: Remember showing it to my friend improv buddy Seawana Riley
Speaker 1: at the time, being like, have you seen this game?
Speaker 1: Do you know what this is? Basically? And it went
Speaker 1: away and it like was a game. They'm like, oh,
Speaker 1: that's fascinating. And then two came out and I bought
Speaker 1: it on the PC, but my PC wasn't fast enough
Speaker 1: it wasn't good enough. Then I got to three. Three
Speaker 1: was my official like alright, like let's do this now.
Speaker 1: But a game that I'm like, oh, I don't have
Speaker 1: to know what's going on one. I don't have to
Speaker 1: know what's going on to I can just jump into
Speaker 1: three and enjoy it basically, And mine was to Keith
Speaker 1: playing the Witcher three and here's the thing, here's your thing.
Speaker 1: So every once in a while when Keith and I
Speaker 1: we used to do this a lot more. When we
Speaker 1: would get bored, we would just like watch what the
Speaker 1: other one is playing for an hour, just like check
Speaker 1: it out, you know, because you just got to watch
Speaker 1: your friends if you're on the network. And one time
Speaker 1: I saw that he was playing what or three, and
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, I gotta check this game out.
Speaker 1: I've heard so many amazing things Before he gets to it,
Speaker 1: I'm playing what your three correctly, correctly correctly, so no
Speaker 1: judgment here. I jump on and for like three minutes straight,
Speaker 1: Keith is just playing gwent this only trying to the
Speaker 1: card game. I don't see a single creature, not a storyline,
Speaker 1: not a character. It just keeps gutting two cards. And
Speaker 1: then this wolfman going would you like to play? And
Speaker 1: I'm like, is this the game? And I'm like, Jesse,
Speaker 1: I won string and you're like, well, I don't care
Speaker 1: one string. You're health Beast conqueror. You should be able
Speaker 1: to find string. It's everywhere. Okay, if you can ask you,
Speaker 1: was this game too much? I need you now you
Speaker 1: play Monster Hunter? I need to play games out of
Speaker 1: inventory heavy. There's a lot to them. Were you like
Speaker 1: this is too much? Because of my time they started
Speaker 1: playing gwent to me. I was like, I have no
Speaker 1: idea what the is going for me? It for me,
Speaker 1: it wasn't too much. What it was was so I
Speaker 1: was playing, and I was playing on stream, and I
Speaker 1: was gonna just do normal mode because uh but everyone's like, no,
Speaker 1: you gotta do hard mode. I didn't. I didn't realize
Speaker 1: that this game normal mode, yeah, no more normal mode
Speaker 1: is already bringing the heat. So I got I was
Speaker 1: playing hard mode and I just just got. I got
Speaker 1: to a point where you know how how oh man,
Speaker 1: maybe maybe three, three, four or five? Maybe ten? Do
Speaker 1: I played half the game? It was a blur. All
Speaker 1: I know is that I got to a point where
Speaker 1: you know how games auto auto save and if you're
Speaker 1: auto saving, you get into a death loop. Because that's
Speaker 1: what happened. I went into this one point where they
Speaker 1: jump you and I'm having a hard enough time taking
Speaker 1: one on right. Well, no, not the bar, I get out.
Speaker 1: I'm doing missions, made missions, and there was one mission
Speaker 1: where I get called into a camp and then like
Speaker 1: we have a discussion, and the discussion ends in a fight.
Speaker 1: So I'm surrounded and you got archers and do so
Speaker 1: like I'm like trying to like stop time and use
Speaker 1: imagine to be like, hey, everybody calmed down, and I
Speaker 1: just would just get walloped, get back, respawn, get beat
Speaker 1: up again. And I was like okay, and so I
Speaker 1: just put the game down. Yeah, I put the game down.
Speaker 1: I walked away from it for a couple of months.
Speaker 1: By the time I came back to the game, all
Speaker 1: the DLC came back. And for those who are not
Speaker 1: keeping up with which or three, it took a while
Speaker 1: for the DLC to care. So that means I put
Speaker 1: down the game maybe for a year or two. This
Speaker 1: this game came on two and still stands a test
Speaker 1: of time, like this is an amazing game. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: think I got back to it at two thousand seventeen
Speaker 1: because every one was saying it was good. Felicia Day
Speaker 1: keeps nerding out about it, and I was like, okay,
Speaker 1: let me give it a shot, but let me just
Speaker 1: try it on normal because I think I told somebody like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I was doing it all hard and it was rough there,
Speaker 1: like why did you do that? Yeah? It's literally like
Speaker 1: Dark Souls. It's all that. Dark Souls has the kindness
Speaker 1: of letting you know what kind of game it is.
Speaker 1: When you died appears, it's like, oh, okay, so they
Speaker 1: want me to go through this and struggle. What's your three?
Speaker 1: You die constantly in the game kind of goes you
Speaker 1: really suck at this kind of you kind of blue,
Speaker 1: and you're like, it's me, It's my fault. So I
Speaker 1: I do it on normal mode and I get pretty far,
Speaker 1: and I was streaming it for a bit and it's
Speaker 1: so funny because streaming is so funny in the sense
Speaker 1: that you know, you're putting on a show, you're being yourself.
Speaker 1: And then there was two things I kept doing that
Speaker 1: made me take it off. There's two things that happened
Speaker 1: that made me take it off the stream. It was
Speaker 1: too many moments of me staring at my inventory. This
Speaker 1: is a boring game to watch somebody play doing alchemy. Yeah,
Speaker 1: all right, and I'll make that because there's so much
Speaker 1: to this game. There was so much to this just
Speaker 1: your inventory is literally resident Evil. You'll have so much
Speaker 1: space where everything you have, and then you end up
Speaker 1: looking like a clown because you don't know the inventory,
Speaker 1: a beeping clown. Everybody. Um No, that's so fascin about
Speaker 1: this game because seriously, like there's so much inventory, it's
Speaker 1: hard to play in general. And then there's like here's
Speaker 1: Gwent and Gwent. I know it's a joke, it's hilarious
Speaker 1: or whatever, but Gwent has now become its own things,
Speaker 1: its own game basically. But this game, like was highly
Speaker 1: addictive and it was very important to the game just
Speaker 1: even do question al. That's why I never played. I
Speaker 1: did the tutorial and I was like, oh, this is dangerous.
Speaker 1: This is gonna add a whole mother. The tutorial for
Speaker 1: Gwent has more rules than most full video games. Yes,
Speaker 1: it's totally true. I got to the tutorial and I
Speaker 1: literally was like, Okay, I fault, and it's like but
Speaker 1: then this other deck and I was like, oh, there's
Speaker 1: more than one and then this, and I was like, okay,
Speaker 1: but but then as long as she's the three and
Speaker 1: then this card makes it, She's like I was a
Speaker 1: can't Pokemon card trader who happens to be the sexiest
Speaker 1: man on Earth and can't die. That's all I would
Speaker 1: do in the game. That's what's so funny is when
Speaker 1: you really think of Gwent in the context of the game,
Speaker 1: it's wild because it'll be like, I need you to
Speaker 1: find my daughter. She's gone. Careful a round of exactly
Speaker 1: exactly put some money on it. It's so weird. This
Speaker 1: guy everybody is dying and he's playing Texas. Hold him.
Speaker 1: That's how the whole game, like like legitimately, Gwent is
Speaker 1: such an addicting fun experience. As you collect cards, there's
Speaker 1: different armies you build, like that whole sort of thing.
Speaker 1: But also it's like just a side part of it.
Speaker 1: I love games like that. Because Final Fancy eight has
Speaker 1: a card game, it's like one of my favorite Phinal
Speaker 1: Fancy games. Um, that's the same thing. I can take
Speaker 1: a break from the game and take part in this.
Speaker 1: There's so much you the witcher that's fascinating. Like I
Speaker 1: try to explain to people and like it's like Game
Speaker 1: of Thrones but there's gargoyles and like like it's crazy.
Speaker 1: It's like that's a really good comparison because I feel
Speaker 1: like Witchers are very similar to the Night's Watch ye
Speaker 1: in the sense of life. They are not supposed to
Speaker 1: put their hand in any of the politics, they're not
Speaker 1: supposed to care, and they're just supposed to collect money.
Speaker 1: You're supposed to be really callous, like you're supposed to
Speaker 1: be like, I'm a poor man, my daughter, good nut,
Speaker 1: my ghost, and you're like, you got money to pay, yeah,
Speaker 1: but I just don't. All right, now, you're one daughter poor.
Speaker 1: I don't want to tell you, yeah, but to get
Speaker 1: into the thick of it, because we got deep and
Speaker 1: there's probably so many people listening, like I don't know
Speaker 1: anything and they trust us. By the end of it,
Speaker 1: you still want consider this You're thirteen hour tutorial and
Speaker 1: you still don't pay to this game sixty hours. I
Speaker 1: have no idea what it is, well at its base level.
Speaker 1: The Witcher is an action role playing game developed by
Speaker 1: CD Project Red and published by Atari, based on the
Speaker 1: novel series The Witcher by Polish author uh Andreah Just
Speaker 1: cursing in a different language. None of us know it?
Speaker 1: I know, just do we just get this angry letter
Speaker 1: from the Polish signed all of us. The story takes
Speaker 1: place in medieval fantasy world and follows Geralta Rivia, one
Speaker 1: of a few traveling monster hunters who have supernatural powers
Speaker 1: known as Witchers. The game system of moral choices as
Speaker 1: part of the storyline was noted for its time, delayed consequences,
Speaker 1: and lack of black and white morality. So let's talk
Speaker 1: about the story which So it's a fantasy series of
Speaker 1: short stories and novels about the protagonist Geralta Rivia and
Speaker 1: Sapowski's books Witchers are Witcher's, like Gerald, are monster hunters who,
Speaker 1: with training and body modification, developed supernatural abilities at a
Speaker 1: young age to battle deadly bees. The books have been
Speaker 1: adapted into film, television series, video games, and graphic novel series.
Speaker 1: The series of novels is known as the Witcher Saga.
Speaker 1: The short stories and novels have been translated into numerous language,
Speaker 1: including English. Did not know that until I read this
Speaker 1: in English. Uh. The Witcher short stories by author Andre
Speaker 1: Sapowski were first published in Polish science fiction UH and
Speaker 1: fantasy magazines Fantaskia. That's you know, I know, but also
Speaker 1: I like that there's like even Nerdier shown in Jump
Speaker 1: was like took out all the pictures and just had stories,
Speaker 1: you know. Uh. So the first short story was called Whitesman,
Speaker 1: which is the Witcher in six. So this is this
Speaker 1: is an old story and it was written for a
Speaker 1: contest held by the magazine. In one third place, I
Speaker 1: want I want andre to find who won fourth place?
Speaker 1: First place was like where's your video game? Wouldn't it
Speaker 1: be great if it was like George RR. Martin, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I made Game of Thrones. Yeah, he's like, okay, cool.
Speaker 1: Number two right, that would be wild. It's like, yeah,
Speaker 1: number one, number number one. J R. R. Tolkien, Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: He just resubmitted The Lord of the Rings. I don't
Speaker 1: know why they accept it. I mean that's all you
Speaker 1: guys at there. Your short stories could be great. We
Speaker 1: don't know, I know. Um. The first four stories we're
Speaker 1: dealing with Geralta Rivio were originally featured in a nine
Speaker 1: nineties short story collection titled Widseman The Wincher, now out
Speaker 1: of print with Droga Z. All right, I'm gonna just
Speaker 1: say what it says in English, UH. The Road with
Speaker 1: No Retort uh, which is set in a world before
Speaker 1: the Wincher stories and features Geralt Mother to Be, So
Speaker 1: that that does that track for you at I followed this.
Speaker 1: I heard you. I hear what you say. When you
Speaker 1: play the Witcher three, you're not going to think about
Speaker 1: any of this. I'm I'm kind of in that in
Speaker 1: that zone, you know, girlt really because there's so many
Speaker 1: different quests going on, so many different side stories, and
Speaker 1: so many different monsters you meet, like a Sucky Biss,
Speaker 1: and then you have to actually be an actor. Like
Speaker 1: there's so many things going on. What's so funny is
Speaker 1: the fact that all three of us entered at the
Speaker 1: third means that we were even more out of the loop.
Speaker 1: Because by the way this the i'm a I'm gonna
Speaker 1: go scroll down to see when the first uh Witcher
Speaker 1: came out. So the first Witcher came out in UH
Speaker 1: three four? Yeah, you're you're very close. What was it
Speaker 1: on PS two PC PC? It looked like it looked
Speaker 1: like Fable. That's like the big feat and that sort
Speaker 1: of thing. It looked like a Fable game. That's the thing,
Speaker 1: because like I wasn't playing PC. No, it's like if
Speaker 1: you miss PC, it's like it's just kind of over
Speaker 1: just games in general, right, if you miss a year
Speaker 1: a couple of years of PC with PlayStation the tend
Speaker 1: you just came out in two thousand and seven, so
Speaker 1: so so yeah, yeah so so, and then like the
Speaker 1: third game came out. So when you think about it,
Speaker 1: the first game two thousand and seven and then the
Speaker 1: third game dropped like two thousand and fourteen. Yeah, that's
Speaker 1: a long period of time of lore that we're just
Speaker 1: jumping in on. The third way was like, let's go
Speaker 1: also and too they have different endings as well, and
Speaker 1: oh yeah, there's different endings. To me, I'm like, what
Speaker 1: is there? You can follow the general idea of the story.
Speaker 1: That's why I like went super nerdy and I went
Speaker 1: through the wiki to see what likes because like it.
Speaker 1: So for those who don't know, when you play three,
Speaker 1: it does pick up from like one and two. So
Speaker 1: if you don't have the save file, they essentially or
Speaker 1: I think it just does it either way, because I
Speaker 1: imagine it's probably hard to that much time past carryover
Speaker 1: save file. But they ask you what you know, what
Speaker 1: you did in the other situations, and if I'm sure,
Speaker 1: like all three of us at this table, if you
Speaker 1: haven't played the first two, you're just guessing because they
Speaker 1: give you no context. They literally are like, did you
Speaker 1: let this person live or die? That person is giving
Speaker 1: you a bath and your naked tell me your secret? Ye?
Speaker 1: But yeah, it has a fun way of questioning you
Speaker 1: in this game. Yeah, but like they gave zero context.
Speaker 1: They just gave you a name. It was like did
Speaker 1: they live or die? So like even you coming in
Speaker 1: at three, you're like, I'm just gonna roll the dice.
Speaker 1: But I mean it's Mass Effects. I mean, if somebody's
Speaker 1: like I wanna play Mass Effect two or three? Do
Speaker 1: you have to play one and be like, no, you
Speaker 1: don't have to. Like you can literally jump into those
Speaker 1: games and understand what's going on. It's so interesting to me.
Speaker 1: Like Mass Effect was the one that came to my
Speaker 1: mind too, because it's notorious you're carrying over your save
Speaker 1: files and like giving you some information. It's like, that's
Speaker 1: why everybody was so mad about the ending for three
Speaker 1: was because none of the choices seem to matter at all.
Speaker 1: I mean I feel like they mattered, they just didn't matter.
Speaker 1: In the way people liked because I was one of
Speaker 1: the first ones who was cool with an original. But
Speaker 1: I think there's like because I think when you play
Speaker 1: a character, especially when you make a character, it's a
Speaker 1: real sticking point for video game players if you don't
Speaker 1: get to live at the end. But it's like that
Speaker 1: is why the story is beautiful. Is like you have
Speaker 1: to give up yourself to save the union, and all
Speaker 1: these angry gamers just proved that they would not sacrifice.
Speaker 1: I gotta I gotta sec I want to be like
Speaker 1: you get that's not you right. Other stories like oh,
Speaker 1: the whole universe has to die, well, I guess that
Speaker 1: whole universe has to die. Well. This is also a
Speaker 1: game again, like I brought up like it might have
Speaker 1: been too much, because I don't think it's too much.
Speaker 1: You never think it's too much. We play it now.
Speaker 1: You have to study each enemy and what their weaknesses.
Speaker 1: Like there's some enemies you can't kill them, and you
Speaker 1: literally have to go find the book going into it.
Speaker 1: Like that you're saying with streaming people are like this
Speaker 1: is boring, and you're like, I don't know how to
Speaker 1: do the boss battle. Let's read all of this you
Speaker 1: could just see me swear at my TV screen for
Speaker 1: four hours auto save on a death loop, or we
Speaker 1: could read a book. Guys, knowledge is important. Oh man,
Speaker 1: all right, let's break down some of these characters we've
Speaker 1: been saying names and once again, like we said, that's
Speaker 1: that's what's so funny about this is with stuff like this,
Speaker 1: you may leave this episode not really understanding what the
Speaker 1: heck is going on, but at the very least we
Speaker 1: hope to make you want to go pick the game again.
Speaker 1: It's like it's my first season of Game of Thrones.
Speaker 1: By the end of the first season, I had no
Speaker 1: idea what anyone's no idea anyone? Sorry hockey for so
Speaker 1: long did you play on the Bruins? What are we doing?
Speaker 1: I realizing that we swear so much on our not
Speaker 1: mean we just swear a lot or not vulgar, no,
Speaker 1: but off the podcast very very very vulgar, mean, very
Speaker 1: genuine bad me. Well, that's what's so funny is that,
Speaker 1: you know, I feel like, out of the both of us,
Speaker 1: me and Danny, I have the worst potty mouth, like
Speaker 1: I you know, I go back to the real world
Speaker 1: because you know, when you're out here in comedy we're
Speaker 1: all just bad people. And then you go back to
Speaker 1: the world, real world and held a conversation, and then
Speaker 1: you'll see someone's eyes perk up because you just made
Speaker 1: a combination of swears that normally don't go. I just
Speaker 1: blew this interview. Going to jail. Yeah, so I guess
Speaker 1: I won't be able to enter this Army's every Can
Speaker 1: I tell you something I don't know? My guts will
Speaker 1: be the judge of that. All right, Well, it actually
Speaker 1: seems like it's time for us to go to a
Speaker 1: commercial break. But when we get back, we're gonna break
Speaker 1: down these characters. I hope you're having a good time.
Speaker 1: We are here too. Um did that sentence make sense?
Speaker 1: Find out after these messages? All right, and we're back
Speaker 1: from our bray. It's totally made sense, totally it makes sense. Well,
Speaker 1: see if you heard it here back with the new
Speaker 1: player has joined folks, and we're talking about the Whisher.
Speaker 1: Uh So, first we're gonna break down the name we've
Speaker 1: been saying the most which is girl, which, like even
Speaker 1: I feel like if you're in the nerd world and
Speaker 1: you even never played the game, maybe never even heard
Speaker 1: of it, but you're a nerd you definitely seen a
Speaker 1: hot cosplay. You've seen Superman with the wig on. You
Speaker 1: know what it looks like. You've seen this guy, gray fox,
Speaker 1: long hair, gorgeous man with the scar cut up. Is
Speaker 1: basically a cat if it was turned into a human.
Speaker 1: It's literally what I got one for you do it?
Speaker 1: Medieval solid snake. Yeah, that's Girls medieval and how he
Speaker 1: acts has the Batman voice like Baldwin voice, will our
Speaker 1: Net voice. So Girls is the central character. Uh, and
Speaker 1: he is a witcher. Shortly after being born, Girl's mother, Vicina,
Speaker 1: gave him away to undergo training and eventually become a
Speaker 1: witcher at care more hint the stronghold of the Wolf
Speaker 1: School of Witchers, which if this doesn't go into it,
Speaker 1: I will say now there are many different school of Witchers.
Speaker 1: There's the School of the Snake, and there's like one
Speaker 1: more other school one if you haven't figured out. Nothing
Speaker 1: is simple, and but also like getting to see the
Speaker 1: other schools involved and it's really cool. Yeah, that's super cool. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you nailed it. That and nailed it. I nailed it.
Speaker 1: The Stronghold of the Wolf School of Richard. Girl survived
Speaker 1: numerous mutations during the trial of the grasses, thanks to
Speaker 1: which he gained practically superhuman physical and mental abilities with
Speaker 1: minimal side effects. And it's so funny, literally ding he
Speaker 1: just meditates all day, he gets his vials or whatever
Speaker 1: and go ahead sex with someone. He's say. He resisted
Speaker 1: the changes brought on by the trial of grass is
Speaker 1: better than most, which encouraged his makers to perform even
Speaker 1: more dangerous experiments at Oh wow, Wolverine really took them
Speaker 1: pretty good. Let's throw him into a vulcaneuh and this
Speaker 1: made him lose all his body pigmentation. So mine now
Speaker 1: my new headcan And his girl was black. He was
Speaker 1: black experiment to him, it's pretty good, will be able
Speaker 1: to convince me otherwise. Because of his pale skin and
Speaker 1: white hair. He is known in elder speech as Gwinble.
Speaker 1: When Winbley listen, this is a clean podcast. Winbley the
Speaker 1: White Wolf, despite his name girlt does not come from Rivia,
Speaker 1: although he learned how to mimic a Rivian accent and
Speaker 1: is later nighted for service to the Queen of Rivia.
Speaker 1: Young Witchers were encouraged to make up Surtin names for
Speaker 1: themselves by Master Vessemir to make their names sound more trustworthy.
Speaker 1: He wants claimed uh. He once claimed that his first
Speaker 1: choice was Geralt Roger Eric de Haut Bell Guard, but
Speaker 1: this was dismissed by vessemir as silly and pretentious. I
Speaker 1: love that, Like, you know, this game also implemented code switching. Essentially,
Speaker 1: this Garlt is like any child with immigrant parents. He's
Speaker 1: not actually gonna Yeah. So, after completing his Witcher training,
Speaker 1: he received his Wolf medallion, the symbol of Kremorn, and
Speaker 1: embarked into the world on his horse called Plotka, which
Speaker 1: as the best name. I thought, literally, roach, I call
Speaker 1: this horse. I thought Witchers like all didn't have emotions.
Speaker 1: Is he the only one that has zero emotions in
Speaker 1: this game? Well, they literally kept poisoning him. He just
Speaker 1: doesn't smile. They took a happy, young black boy and
Speaker 1: they made him white, and then they started calling him
Speaker 1: the white Wolf and they were like, deal with that,
Speaker 1: and He's like, yeah, exactly, don't like this. Take it out.
Speaker 1: I feel like our head canon is making it make
Speaker 1: more sense. I'm starting to put the trauma behind Yeah,
Speaker 1: yeah exactly, but yeah, I mean he I feel like, yeah,
Speaker 1: he definitely is stoic. He is essentially for the most part,
Speaker 1: John Wick, but he does smile before every sex option
Speaker 1: in the games. There are so many, but we can
Speaker 1: we talk about that. We're gonna get to that. Okay, cool, okay, okay, cool,
Speaker 1: We'll get to the bus. When you see the herbalist
Speaker 1: for the first time, come on, come on, come on. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that was literally walk into a hut with a when
Speaker 1: bending over and it's like she's wearing yoga pants in
Speaker 1: the medieval times, like yoga. Developer lost what went down
Speaker 1: that project? Fred was like, well, we gotta sneak this in.
Speaker 1: It's subtle as all hell. And in our show, we
Speaker 1: have a segment called can you gets his name of
Speaker 1: VideA based so somebod doesn't play video games suscribes the
Speaker 1: video game to us where Jesse's girlfriend watch this video game.
Speaker 1: We have somebody come in and gives them hints based
Speaker 1: off what she knows is in the game. And she said,
Speaker 1: the game with all the great butts, it was like
Speaker 1: the first was the first thing. Everybody's butt is the same.
Speaker 1: It's how she described it with your three and she
Speaker 1: was corr absolutely correct. Well, I'm gonna have to go
Speaker 1: play against We really get it in. Even though girl
Speaker 1: did not believe in destiny, He unknowningly demanded the unborn
Speaker 1: child of Princess Pavetta and her husband Doooney as a
Speaker 1: reward for his services by invoking the law of surprise.
Speaker 1: The child turned out to be a girl, Siri, otherwise
Speaker 1: known as Zeri, coming from elder speech in the world
Speaker 1: word zero L meaning hello. At first did not take
Speaker 1: her because women cannot become witchers. However, fate or blind
Speaker 1: chance caused Garralt and Sirie to cross the past thrice,
Speaker 1: and after the death of her grandmother, Queen Calath of Centria,
Speaker 1: Gerralt ends up taking the girl into his care, training
Speaker 1: and loving her as his own daughter. I just want
Speaker 1: to say, says swallow, way too much in this game,
Speaker 1: way too much voice. If you don't know the backstory
Speaker 1: of that name, it's it's like it is so confusing,
Speaker 1: because he says, it's so tenderly, and you're just like,
Speaker 1: what's what's happened? He writes it on a sword for her.
Speaker 1: Following the short stories, the novel unfold as Garralt is
Speaker 1: pulled into a whirlwind of events and his attempt to
Speaker 1: protect Syrie from those who would do her harm, becoming
Speaker 1: reluctantly embroiled in the political contentions of monarchs and emperors. Uh.
Speaker 1: And then there's an analysis on Geralt, which I'm a
Speaker 1: skip because I think we already get of our now. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think we figured plays cards and smashes, that's all.
Speaker 1: Uh So then we have Unifer, who this is info
Speaker 1: that let's see, there's just so much info trying to
Speaker 1: explain Lore is so deep and you need surface level
Speaker 1: to really appreciate the game, and then the deeper you go,
Speaker 1: there's He's like, Okay, now I love it. Like the
Speaker 1: game to me is like my daughter's missing. I'm trying
Speaker 1: to find her. Like that's the easiest way I can
Speaker 1: explain it to anyone, Like there's all the backstory I
Speaker 1: could explain to you. It does not matter. It's a
Speaker 1: man looking for his dog. It'll enrich it. But if
Speaker 1: you start there, it's still awesome because because it's Unifer
Speaker 1: born on Belloteen and everyone's gorgeous. Everyone's going, okay, wait,
Speaker 1: I because I need to touch on this before we
Speaker 1: go on. No, the main characters in the named characters, okay, everybody,
Speaker 1: every NPC in this game, okay, is hideous, missing teeth,
Speaker 1: every single man l n PC looks like they are
Speaker 1: disguising a horrible haircut by wearing a wig of a
Speaker 1: worse haircut. They are god awful ugly. It is so funny.
Speaker 1: They have bowl cuts that extend an inch past their scalp.
Speaker 1: I don't know how it works. It is amazing how
Speaker 1: ugly these men. Anyone who's not an NPC, so we
Speaker 1: have I had to get that. The sources who lived
Speaker 1: in Verneberg, the capital of there's given me all these
Speaker 1: city names. Again it's Game of Thrones and like, don't know,
Speaker 1: it's just words. She was girl to Rivius true love
Speaker 1: and mother figured a Siri whom she viewed like a daughter,
Speaker 1: to the point that she did everything she could to
Speaker 1: rescue the girl and keep her from harm. She helped
Speaker 1: advise King Demvin of Adn, though never was a formal
Speaker 1: royal advisor, a close friend of Tris Mary Gold, and
Speaker 1: the youngest member of the Supreme Council of Sorcerers within
Speaker 1: the Brotherhood of Sorcerers after its fault, the Lodge of
Speaker 1: Sorceress has attempted to recruit her, but they didn't see
Speaker 1: eye to eye, as the Lodge wanted to advance their
Speaker 1: own political agenda. By using Sirie. In the third game,
Speaker 1: Unifer is one of the main characters, as voiced by Denisco.
Speaker 1: Her face was originally intended to be based on a
Speaker 1: three D scan of Polish model Claudio Roble. However, after
Speaker 1: initial in game test, the developers decided to reshape the
Speaker 1: face in order to give Unifer a colder and meaner look.
Speaker 1: Her first appearance is in the opening cinematic, when she
Speaker 1: is escaping from a battle between the NILF, Guardian and
Speaker 1: Northern Forces, probably one of the best cut scenes I've
Speaker 1: seen on place. Having recovered most of her memory, she
Speaker 1: has agreed to serve the Emperor Emeror's interests in the
Speaker 1: hunt for Syrie. There's also free DLC, which gives Unifer
Speaker 1: an alternate outfit. I don't different favorite thing that every
Speaker 1: game does. And I was like, would you like a
Speaker 1: different outfit? And everyone's like, oh, I don't, yeah, give
Speaker 1: it some there's a reason they do it. So so
Speaker 1: who did you? So this is one of the like
Speaker 1: two main romance game. So did you go with Jennifer?
Speaker 1: Did you go the other Tris or Jennifer? Because you
Speaker 1: you see Jennifer first, but then Tris is the is
Speaker 1: the only time he actually gets a probably hook up.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, because well the thing is this, you see Unifer,
Speaker 1: you get all that romance and then she dips and
Speaker 1: then Tris pops up. It really is like a test
Speaker 1: of loyalty. She she ditches, but she doesn't. Just the
Speaker 1: backstory of this is that girlt Head or Gerald I
Speaker 1: never airis aries whatever. Um loses his memory when he's
Speaker 1: with Jennifer and then finds Tris and forgetting that Jennifer
Speaker 1: exists because there was like some charm put over him.
Speaker 1: He hooks up with Tris and then when the charmers lifted,
Speaker 1: he's like, oh no, I hooked up with the major first,
Speaker 1: I forget what her name is. No, no, no, there's
Speaker 1: another one. She's Lawn and she's in the woods, and
Speaker 1: you go with her and you fight the first boss. Essentially,
Speaker 1: you go into the dungeon with her. You can like
Speaker 1: hook up with her if you keep talking. Comes blund
Speaker 1: No Trump does come later. Yeah, yeah, the blonde, that's
Speaker 1: the one that I ended up romancing. But then I
Speaker 1: went back to universe like forgive me, and also the
Speaker 1: that that that boodro of all those women also forgive
Speaker 1: all of them. I am such a corn ball when
Speaker 1: it comes to game, when it's romancing, I stay, I
Speaker 1: stay the course. Oh my god, I didn't go to
Speaker 1: any of the brothels. You were like tempting me, and
Speaker 1: I was like, if this is a video, I'm talking
Speaker 1: about this all the time. When I played Person of five,
Speaker 1: I did one person and only one person until you
Speaker 1: realize you need to be doing all those people until
Speaker 1: I wanted the achievement. So I did you get an
Speaker 1: achievement in the game. If the game will tell me,
Speaker 1: good job, you're a good boy. Yeah, everybody you know me.
Speaker 1: I'm so direct on myself as if I romance Ione
Speaker 1: in the game, I do not. I feel guilty. Okay,
Speaker 1: this game too, the sex. This is the first video
Speaker 1: game I've played where they're like change positions. Here's them
Speaker 1: have like you see everything there. You see boobs for
Speaker 1: the first time, like they don't. There's no worry. I
Speaker 1: want to for the first time. That's when I saw
Speaker 1: boobs for the from Grand Theft Out. There's no warring.
Speaker 1: If you think of how far we come from, like
Speaker 1: Jesus christlf yourself. Uh, that's just an unfortunate pun. But
Speaker 1: if you think of how far we've come from, like
Speaker 1: when there was that hot coffee just mod you can
Speaker 1: get in g t a San Andreas such a controversy
Speaker 1: and to like and then too like we are literally
Speaker 1: part of the game is banging. Yeah, it's not part
Speaker 1: of it, A big part of If you ask people
Speaker 1: what this game is about, there like, oh, yeah, that's
Speaker 1: silver Fox. He smashes and then he cuts that. He's
Speaker 1: either smashing or he's got a stort out whatever. As
Speaker 1: the time goes on, you can grow a beard, your
Speaker 1: hair gets longer, you can trim all that stuff up,
Speaker 1: how you can want to look in all this sort
Speaker 1: of things, like, there's so much to this game. So
Speaker 1: yeah that was but but so Univer was my I
Speaker 1: mean you, I will always fall for the thick Goth bank.
Speaker 1: I will never be able to resist that ever in
Speaker 1: any circumstances. Any any woman character that shows up in
Speaker 1: a game, and it's just like, Hey, I'm gonna call
Speaker 1: you in your crap and I'm gonna piece I'm like,
Speaker 1: I love you, like are uh So. Then we have Siri,
Speaker 1: who is the child figure who we've been chasing across
Speaker 1: the world, whose whole name is ciially a Fiona Ellen Rhiannon.
Speaker 1: What can what can I possibly say about her? Oh?
Speaker 1: This is like this is like from the game, Like
Speaker 1: this is this is the the the text about Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that we call her Sirie for short. That she was
Speaker 1: born in twelve fifty one, That she has ashen hair
Speaker 1: and a scar on her cheek. All true. And that's
Speaker 1: the Ceilia I know best, one I first laid eyes
Speaker 1: on those many years ago, the one who seemed thoroughly well,
Speaker 1: not ordinary, but certainly not as extraordinary as she in
Speaker 1: fact is. For Cerelia is also a highly skilled witcher,
Speaker 1: heiress to several thrones, the last bearer of the Elder Blood,
Speaker 1: a powerful source endowed with exceptional magic talent, and the
Speaker 1: lady of time and space. Her hair, color, and date
Speaker 1: and birth seem rather rather incidental, now, don't they. I
Speaker 1: could all tell you that she has Gerralt's adopted daughter,
Speaker 1: but that would be a gross simplification. Series much more,
Speaker 1: she is his destiny, his unexpected child, someone bound to
Speaker 1: the witcherd by fate's most inextricably tangled fetters. Following age
Speaker 1: old Witcher tradition, garral took Siri to care more when
Speaker 1: she came into his care there, he investedmir taught her
Speaker 1: the ways of the professional monster slayer. It was then
Speaker 1: that her magic talents were first revealed and they discovered
Speaker 1: she was a source. Uh series gift proved a curse
Speaker 1: as well. Because of it, she would one day have
Speaker 1: to hide from the entire world, even growled its vestair
Speaker 1: is really the point of the whole game, Child drink
Speaker 1: beer with an old uh No. Siri is like the
Speaker 1: whole point of the game. It's like the whole secret
Speaker 1: thing you all leave us girl, But really it's like
Speaker 1: Series are ways stronger. She's way more powerful, She's way
Speaker 1: more fun to play as. Basically, it's like you have
Speaker 1: a souped up version of girl. You know what it is.
Speaker 1: You play as Wolverine, but she's Phoenix. Yeah oh yeah,
Speaker 1: where like even in the moment like she has the
Speaker 1: mental freak out where her power really shows you, like,
Speaker 1: oh my god. And that's the crazy thing is that
Speaker 1: that spacetime is a very big thing. She can travel
Speaker 1: through time, and that's why everyone's wondering if she's going
Speaker 1: to make an appearance in cyberpunk real like not even
Speaker 1: like a solid like one, but maybe an easter. And
Speaker 1: I think that would be super cool. Like even if
Speaker 1: she's like in the background, like I would be dope.
Speaker 1: Just just like tending bar somewhere, you just order a
Speaker 1: drink from her once, that would be so and you
Speaker 1: just never see her again. Just based off of Witch
Speaker 1: or three, I am so excited for so that Cyberpunks
Speaker 1: because now we're like that, like that is my I
Speaker 1: love it. Yeah, like the fact it's like you get
Speaker 1: to make Blade Runner now with technology advancements and you
Speaker 1: get to do with the depth that you have with
Speaker 1: The Witcher, like I am so, I am so excited.
Speaker 1: I mean, if you've played The Witch or three, you
Speaker 1: know why it's taking so long. There's gonna be so
Speaker 1: much augmentation and all that. The driving looks really good too,
Speaker 1: which I was. I was very curious about that because
Speaker 1: you know, open world in like a fantasy medieval setting
Speaker 1: is very much different than like open world in a
Speaker 1: more uh you know, if you crash into things, well
Speaker 1: you can crash into things. And also there's a lot
Speaker 1: more traffic, like horse traffic. I mean that's just a
Speaker 1: field guy's fun fact about l a back in the
Speaker 1: eight hundreds to get from horseback from Santa Monica. To
Speaker 1: here during four PM. It was everywhere gosh, and don't
Speaker 1: get me started on the small which stink clouds from
Speaker 1: the uh So the last character will discuss before really
Speaker 1: diving into this game. Uh Is Tris Marigold. Tris Marigold
Speaker 1: of Maribor was the legendary to marry and sorceress of
Speaker 1: the thirteenth century. Called of the Hill by her contemporaries
Speaker 1: because she was erroneously thought to have been killed during
Speaker 1: the Battle of Sotton Hill. She passed into history as
Speaker 1: Marigold the Fearless, a member of King full Test Royal
Speaker 1: Council along with Furkhart and Kira Metz. Kira Mets is
Speaker 1: the one that you bank. Yeah, Kira mets It is
Speaker 1: so funny to interject in all of this like deep,
Speaker 1: deep lore that is written very well and at times
Speaker 1: very beautifully, to be like, oh, that's the one that
Speaker 1: you banks. I could remembers uh as well. As a
Speaker 1: founding member of the Lodge of Sorceresses, she was involved
Speaker 1: in politics for most of her life. She's friends with
Speaker 1: Jennifer and which are withdrawal to Riba, but also unhappily
Speaker 1: in love with the latter man. Tris took care of
Speaker 1: Syria caremorn for some time. It is like an older
Speaker 1: sister to her. It was through her intervention that Siria
Speaker 1: was not subjejected to harmful hormone changes at hormone changes
Speaker 1: and Karen Morhan stripping her of her secondary gender traits.
Speaker 1: She was a skilled healer and carried with her many
Speaker 1: magical potions, but she never uses them on herself because ironically,
Speaker 1: she was allergic to potions. She was also quite a
Speaker 1: powerful maid, certainly when it counted to most. She a
Speaker 1: wore an ambulance sapphire overlaid with silver. That that just
Speaker 1: sentences always allergic to potions, Like no, that's like being
Speaker 1: like I'm allergic to juice. Yeah, exactly what what is it? What? What?
Speaker 1: You hiped her up pretty hard and that's how you ended.
Speaker 1: But she doesn't sample her own good. It's just it's
Speaker 1: a chef going, I can't eat food. She gets science
Speaker 1: infections a lot. But yeah, Tris is great because she's
Speaker 1: part of this like extremely big love triangle that you
Speaker 1: get in. And what sucks for anyone who's like me.
Speaker 1: I was already so committed to Unifer that by the
Speaker 1: time I met Tris I was like, hey, hey, dude, Hey,
Speaker 1: what's going on with what's up? My gud tap hugs
Speaker 1: the tap hugs. You wanna do you want to hang
Speaker 1: out in a group? Oh? Man, I love that you
Speaker 1: are like a sister to me. But everybody I thought
Speaker 1: that too. But then they're like, you can't have kids.
Speaker 1: I'm like, I can't have kids like you to do it.
Speaker 1: I don't know that there's something that there's anything you
Speaker 1: can say in that voice that doesn't sound awesome, that
Speaker 1: doesn't sound it doesn't sound awesome. I bought some scratch
Speaker 1: tickets yesterday. Oh my god, I thought I was allowed
Speaker 1: to park at this cost. Hey, I need some more
Speaker 1: pills from my aerial belt. Yeah, I don't think that
Speaker 1: was kind of kick ass. Still, you're taking care of it, man,
Speaker 1: sound irritable as hell. All right, So we have to
Speaker 1: take another break. And in this break, we are, After
Speaker 1: this break, we are, we're we have a huge feet
Speaker 1: ahead of us because we are going to dive into
Speaker 1: explaining one, two, and three and uh, you know, kind
Speaker 1: of given our last thoughts before wrapping up and talking
Speaker 1: about this this show that's coming out with Henry cavill As.
Speaker 1: It's clearly Superman with a wig on. It's clearly super Me.
Speaker 1: The week is not gonna be good. I mean working
Speaker 1: at the casting and it's really not go Just everyone
Speaker 1: is all the the like I just look at the
Speaker 1: side by side of Unifer and Syrie and they're both
Speaker 1: just too young. Guys. I just I just found the
Speaker 1: one sentence he can say that doesn't sound cool. I'm
Speaker 1: going to be played by Henry Cavill. Yeah, oh man.
Speaker 1: But we'll get into all of that after these messages.
Speaker 1: Oh all right, and welcome back. You listen to Nerdificent,
Speaker 1: So I meant to say X a new player has joined,
Speaker 1: you know, like you remember street Fighter X tech and uh,
Speaker 1: we're gonna lose. We'll see. I'm weakened by all these Lacroix.
Speaker 1: Are you allergic to your potions? It's those those MMO
Speaker 1: missions that you get that you keep forgetting to read,
Speaker 1: where you're like, use this item to weaken the innimator,
Speaker 1: like why is this guy beating me up up? And
Speaker 1: why is this thing in my bag that won't go?
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, but yeah, so um so yeah. Which
Speaker 1: one came out. It came out to mostly positive reviews,
Speaker 1: like on Metacritic, it has eighty one out of a hundred. Uh,
Speaker 1: and it's you know, it's kind of kicked the whole
Speaker 1: thing off, and it really had the Aurora engine rocket
Speaker 1: in it, and it was it kind of worked exactly
Speaker 1: as the developers envision and rather using a tile based system. Um,
Speaker 1: all right, so which one? What's real fun is we've
Speaker 1: kept making the mass effect. Uh comparison, So what's your
Speaker 1: one used BioWare's proprietary Aurora engine. Yeah, so uh's in
Speaker 1: the console version ended up not being released until two
Speaker 1: thousand nine. Yeah, yeah, yeah, so it came out in
Speaker 1: two thousand and seven. Uh, you were able to get
Speaker 1: it on console on two thousand and nine. And I'm
Speaker 1: sure that kind of came with Like I don't want
Speaker 1: to say no fanfare. I'm just saying I didn't hear
Speaker 1: about it, and this game is definitely something I would
Speaker 1: have been into. That's usually the opposite, like most comes happens. So,
Speaker 1: but it was you know, it's just like we're saying,
Speaker 1: it followed Gerrault. Uh, and it talked and it follows
Speaker 1: him where he you can go to down three different paths.
Speaker 1: That affects the game storyline and it's with alliance with
Speaker 1: the Societail Gorilla Gorilla freedom fighting group of elves and
Speaker 1: other non humans, and alliance with the Order of the
Speaker 1: Flaming Rose, whose Night protect the country of Tameria, or
Speaker 1: an alliance with neither group to maintain Witcher neutrality. And uh,
Speaker 1: and that's kind of what you went down. Just another
Speaker 1: one of those choices that kind of, uh, kind of
Speaker 1: determine your whole story. And what's cool is like, you
Speaker 1: know the big war that's actually happening in three is
Speaker 1: that marry and war. Yeah, And what what's funny about
Speaker 1: it is they really want you to keep this neutral stance.
Speaker 1: But the Nylph Guardians are so just obviously evil. They're
Speaker 1: all wearing black. It's like Vampire's a little bit because
Speaker 1: I was like, I will try and be neutral, and
Speaker 1: then you got this dude talking smack to me or
Speaker 1: I was like, I can't wait to kill you, like
Speaker 1: I'm going And that's the number one thing. That's why
Speaker 1: like any video game that's like open world, you can
Speaker 1: do what you want. It's like, don't talk spicy to me,
Speaker 1: like I will kill you every time. He's a very
Speaker 1: impressive homeless man. He goes everywhere, talks to you in detail,
Speaker 1: and then after it's like he's like your piece, bleep
Speaker 1: me out everybody. He's like, Garrel's like your terrible man,
Speaker 1: You're this, you're that, And he's like, okay, do you
Speaker 1: have any money? That No matter what, I don't care
Speaker 1: what we have to say. It's very hard to emotionally hurt.
Speaker 1: But so then what your two comes out The Assassin
Speaker 1: of Kings and the gameplay of which you're too kind
Speaker 1: of uh splits a bit. Combat is more complex uh
Speaker 1: and it has additions in the form of abilities to
Speaker 1: lay traps and aim and throw range weapons, and Garalt
Speaker 1: has an improved offensive and defensive arsenal with a wild
Speaker 1: range of melee and ranged weapons, armors, bombs, traps, and
Speaker 1: secondary wedge weapons such as hatchets and shovels. Upgrades are
Speaker 1: divided into four distinct paths. An initial training path, which
Speaker 1: includes generalized upgrades for various core abilities and must be
Speaker 1: invested in before other paths can be access swordsmanships, which
Speaker 1: improve garlt sword fighting abilities, Alchemy, which includes perks such
Speaker 1: as reducing the negativeffects of potion, magic which improved whicher signs.
Speaker 1: UH which by three is insane, Like, yeah, the the
Speaker 1: tree alone in which are three is so intense, and
Speaker 1: it's so funny because I just kept it simple. I
Speaker 1: just boosted attack and just didn't worry about potions. If
Speaker 1: you get overwhelmed, it's so hard to build a character
Speaker 1: effectively without planning for hours. Also, in this game has
Speaker 1: uh there's a system in the which are called toxicity,
Speaker 1: So every time you take a potion, it poisons you essentially,
Speaker 1: so you unless you're boosting that up so that you're
Speaker 1: getting less toxicity, like, it's never really worth it for me.
Speaker 1: But like you were saying, there's some bosses where you
Speaker 1: have to take specific potions, so you're like, I guess
Speaker 1: I'll work on the alchemy tree a bit, and then
Speaker 1: your weapons become dulled very Everything is constantly like updating,
Speaker 1: getting new weapons, getting new gear, and then realizing like, oh,
Speaker 1: I'm doing a bad job at collecting gear because there's
Speaker 1: so much going on. You can go have people build
Speaker 1: special gear for you. There's so much oh my gosh. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and there's a whole like quest chains you can go
Speaker 1: down to get more armor, but everything also is expensive,
Speaker 1: and then you're wondering how you're gonna make money, and
Speaker 1: then you're like, oh, the main way for you to
Speaker 1: gain income in this game is doing these witcher missions
Speaker 1: and then you're doing this whole other side thing. It's
Speaker 1: it's a hustle. It feels like real life and that
Speaker 1: you're just like, oh man, I'm working so much just
Speaker 1: to eat. Right now, you have two swords. You have
Speaker 1: to switch back and forth without even knowing you have
Speaker 1: to switch back and forth. That was the only mechanic
Speaker 1: that was like the crux of this game. I'd be like,
Speaker 1: that's awesome. It's challenging and it's thoughtful. That's the first
Speaker 1: thing that happens, and then the rest of the game
Speaker 1: so much more. And just so just so you know,
Speaker 1: you you mentioned this earlier. Uh, so I want to
Speaker 1: point it out. Is uh the game said that it Uh.
Speaker 1: It's been said that the game drew influences which are
Speaker 1: two from Demon Souls, which was the first iteration of
Speaker 1: Dark Souls, Heavy Rain, and Batman Argument Asylum. And I
Speaker 1: feel that every bit of this is a detective game.
Speaker 1: Like when you're a witcher, it's like you're putting the
Speaker 1: game on pause to now go discover a monster or
Speaker 1: what have you, and you might even not even kill
Speaker 1: the monster. You might not even just like go about
Speaker 1: your way. But Son should be twelve hours long. Jason
Speaker 1: Jay That character ended up in Red Dead Redemption to
Speaker 1: hal In like Gavin, I forget it's Gavin, but it's fine.
Speaker 1: Those guys are all over. So now we have Witcher
Speaker 1: three the Wild Hunt, and I feel like what made
Speaker 1: it such a hit even to people who are new
Speaker 1: to the Witcher is it had a lot of fantasy
Speaker 1: elements that are familiar because the Wild Hunt are chasing
Speaker 1: series because they want to use your power, and the
Speaker 1: Wild Hunt feel like the Nasol. They feel like they
Speaker 1: essentially are the Nasol. Like I was like, oh, we're
Speaker 1: killing the Nasul. And it was cool because they will
Speaker 1: pull up to a place decimated and like their big
Speaker 1: like bad guy. Cool thing is that it would be cold,
Speaker 1: ye like it's just it's just the night, and so
Speaker 1: they pull up and everything would be covered in snow
Speaker 1: and it was like really cool and creepy. And those
Speaker 1: dogs were the worst. Finding them was a pain, but
Speaker 1: like all the story elements of it was really great.
Speaker 1: They were very imposing, Like just just to see them
Speaker 1: visually is incredibly imposing and then their strength and power
Speaker 1: throughout the game is Yeah, and there's like little little
Speaker 1: tidbits of like when they were kind of like building
Speaker 1: it out because like I guess, with the first play through, uh,
Speaker 1: it indicated that uh that the open world, despite its
Speaker 1: content in generation around the quest, seemed empty, and as
Speaker 1: a solution they added like points of interest to kind
Speaker 1: of help you get to places. And originally the game
Speaker 1: had five thousand bugs and that's why it had to
Speaker 1: be postponed. I it sounds like a player of known battlegrounds. Look,
Speaker 1: I love you, pub but too good to pass up. Um,
Speaker 1: there's it's so massive that would be it would be
Speaker 1: almost impossible to imagine this without that much. And yet
Speaker 1: again the game director Conrad to Thomas Hewitz and senior
Speaker 1: game design uh Damian Monier cited dark Souls and demon
Speaker 1: souls as influences on the combats. Felt like Yeah, I
Speaker 1: was like, man, it really did. Like there's a lot
Speaker 1: of rolling and harry and you would think, you know,
Speaker 1: leveling up would make things not hurt as much. No,
Speaker 1: you're still getting the smack smack. This is the only
Speaker 1: game I know of where like the soldiers that are
Speaker 1: around can just kick the che they can just kill you.
Speaker 1: They can just kill you, kill you, but they can
Speaker 1: kill you. Yeah. That's the thing. In most games, you
Speaker 1: can just bully like anyone. Yeah, but in this game,
Speaker 1: they're like what you can just push you down and
Speaker 1: you're done. Like I remember when I first tried to
Speaker 1: do do the play through, and so you do this
Speaker 1: mission for Nelf Guardian and he's like and you find
Speaker 1: like it's it's crazy because like it's such a good
Speaker 1: storytelling element and like it's when you have to kill
Speaker 1: the Griffin. When you first meet him, he's like telling
Speaker 1: like girl that the Guardians are actually good and the
Speaker 1: the there's like a farmer of their newly taken over
Speaker 1: territory who's like, oh, sorry, I don't have anything. He's
Speaker 1: like it's fine, you can come back. You know, just
Speaker 1: you need time and you know you need to eat
Speaker 1: and we need to eat. We're here to take care
Speaker 1: of you. And then by the time you're done with
Speaker 1: the mission, you come back and he's like that same
Speaker 1: farmers there and he's like what is this? This is rotty.
Speaker 1: He was like, I'm sorry, I can't he was like, no,
Speaker 1: you gotta get lashes boy, Like he totally flips. You
Speaker 1: get to see that wild and like Gralt kind of like, oh,
Speaker 1: the nice guy act is up and he's like and
Speaker 1: then he says some disrespectful stuff. So initially because in
Speaker 1: the way I work in most of these games, I
Speaker 1: slashed him, uh and not only did the slash not
Speaker 1: kill him, but now I'm in enough Guardian territory and
Speaker 1: there's like soldiers ready to ready to just take me out.
Speaker 1: It's this game is adult Skyrim. It's like, what is Skyrim.
Speaker 1: It's little little child, Yeah, but this is Skyrim with consequences,
Speaker 1: and like, actually this is Skyrim with death. That's that
Speaker 1: is the funny thing because like, yeah, in the game
Speaker 1: with Skyrom, there's a point where you can go and
Speaker 1: slaughter a whole town and no one can do anything.
Speaker 1: But this one is like, oh no. It's because it's
Speaker 1: almost like that balance of almost like something I noticed
Speaker 1: with john Wick. John Wick is the best assassin Barnett.
Speaker 1: You don't know, no one can stop him, no one
Speaker 1: can beat them, but they can. They just don't catch them.
Speaker 1: They don't quite get there, but they there are moments
Speaker 1: where it's like, oh, they're about to kill him. And
Speaker 1: then he just barely pulls out. And that's I think
Speaker 1: what makes John Wicks so interesting. It is like about
Speaker 1: this like overpowered person, but they give the moments you're
Speaker 1: still human. Yeah, it really shows, like especially um, you
Speaker 1: know not. I don't want to get into specifics of three,
Speaker 1: but like there's points in there where you're like, it
Speaker 1: looks like you ain't gonna with yeah, but like and
Speaker 1: then he does, and so I feel like that is
Speaker 1: the experience in which it were. It's like, yeah, you're
Speaker 1: the main story character of the story. Yeah, you're strong,
Speaker 1: but anyone can take you on because everyone has swords. Yeah, exactly,
Speaker 1: you're a man with two swords. You are twenty men
Speaker 1: with one. Like what is your strategy to beat the game?
Speaker 1: Because your strategy might be a terrible strategy. You might
Speaker 1: not even realize that that sort of thing. And like
Speaker 1: going up the skills tree fighting the first boss, these
Speaker 1: Nazia Gold dudes, basically like it's impossible to kill them
Speaker 1: if you're not even good at the game. Initially, like
Speaker 1: you can't. It's not Kingdom Hearts. You're not gonna slash
Speaker 1: them slash slash until you get there. It's like you
Speaker 1: have to figure out your timing. Then you have to
Speaker 1: figure out which potions you want to use, what magic
Speaker 1: skills you want to use, what actual mexicals you want
Speaker 1: to build up. I did Igney all the way because
Speaker 1: I wanted to go slap anyone who's around me in
Speaker 1: the area. You get set on fire, and I delay
Speaker 1: you for at least one or two seconds and then
Speaker 1: I can attack you. It's clutch, But you don't realize
Speaker 1: how much you need something like that in this game
Speaker 1: because it's so it's hard to heal yourself if you
Speaker 1: don't have potions. You're constantly eating food and even even
Speaker 1: trying to understand the inventory system of how to heal
Speaker 1: yourself mid game and do all those sorts of things
Speaker 1: because it's up arrow and down arrow on analog on
Speaker 1: your controller. So I was playing on mass and keyboard.
Speaker 1: This is this keeps happening to me at the games,
Speaker 1: and I miss PC gaming so much of how many
Speaker 1: games I've played, and I'm like, oh, I'm not good
Speaker 1: at this because I don't have a PC like Fortnite
Speaker 1: or well, that's what's so funny, is my friend said.
Speaker 1: Because this was before I joined the Master Race. Um,
Speaker 1: we played dragon Age and looking at someone on I
Speaker 1: remember I was looking up a video and looking at
Speaker 1: how people on PC played dragon Age was a whole
Speaker 1: different because it was literally like a turn based thing
Speaker 1: where they go, stop, we're doing this, we're doing this,
Speaker 1: We're doing I was like, we're not doing that with
Speaker 1: the controller option. Yeah, we just got the option to
Speaker 1: do that. But PC is like, no, I'm gonna do
Speaker 1: this spell on the plan that the inquisition. They were like,
Speaker 1: you can do both, and everybody on PC was stopping,
Speaker 1: and everybody on console was going, yeah, it was crazy.
Speaker 1: It's nuts. So everybody get those ten thousand dollars by
Speaker 1: yourself a PC computer. You can you can make a
Speaker 1: budget boy, but yeah, if you want to be playing
Speaker 1: on the best settings looking at because it really is
Speaker 1: like every time I'll see like I'll be like, man,
Speaker 1: because I have, you know, this big PC, you know
Speaker 1: with the Corsair car by case Corsair of course they're cooler,
Speaker 1: you know, you know for Corsair r GB ramsticks. I'm sponsored, yea,
Speaker 1: the sponsor, but they but like I'll be like, man,
Speaker 1: is it worth it? And then like I'll play a
Speaker 1: game and it just looks so good. Oh, yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Like now I get why they say master right yeah.
Speaker 1: Oh man, but yeah that's pretty much three. You know,
Speaker 1: I think it's still worth picking up. It's even and
Speaker 1: you can probably find it for really cheap right now. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think I got it for likes. Yeah, and the
Speaker 1: DLC is free. Yeah, it came with both the dalcs attacked.
Speaker 1: It's free. And again, guys, I'd argue this is up
Speaker 1: definitely up there with God of War five, Spider Man this,
Speaker 1: and this came out right when PlayStation four came out,
Speaker 1: so this game stands at test of time in my opinion. Also,
Speaker 1: if you just want to jump into a game, jump
Speaker 1: into a world and be like I just want to
Speaker 1: I'm having a bad week, I'm having a bad month,
Speaker 1: I'm going through a breakup, jump into the winch even
Speaker 1: like I feel like, you know, no matter how you
Speaker 1: felt about how it ended, if you like watch Game
Speaker 1: of Thrones, I was like, I want experience like you
Speaker 1: truly does like mirror that type of world, just with
Speaker 1: the conflict between the Note Guardians and the Tamarians, and
Speaker 1: you can choose whatever side you want or stay completely
Speaker 1: neutral like you have every It's just just the freedom
Speaker 1: within that because that alone changes the course of so much.
Speaker 1: I mean, this game has a few different endings and
Speaker 1: they're all they're all really well written and like your
Speaker 1: choices matter at the at the end of the day.
Speaker 1: You know, you play so many games they're like, we
Speaker 1: have multiple endings and you feel like, yeah, but they're
Speaker 1: all kind of basically the same, and there's not really
Speaker 1: a huge difference in this game. It's like the variation
Speaker 1: at the end is very notable, and it is emotionally impactful.
Speaker 1: It's great, it's so well produced. The whole thing just works. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I mean, and if you've already played this and you're
Speaker 1: like wondering something, another kind of story experience that does
Speaker 1: that pretty well. Dishonored. I don't know if you've played Dishonored.
Speaker 1: I played I think I came in at one. I
Speaker 1: haven't played two yet, but one really like your choices
Speaker 1: matter because because if you decide, because you have the
Speaker 1: option to kill people or do it without killing, and
Speaker 1: that does change how you're ending, like goes. So it's
Speaker 1: like very it's so I'm a hero. You murder. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's pretty much that. It's like you murder, you just
Speaker 1: murder because essentially and it really does because of that,
Speaker 1: It really does like kind of like play that part
Speaker 1: that games don't ever play with, which is the fact
Speaker 1: of like, Okay, if you're in a story situation where
Speaker 1: there has been a unfair removal of power, everyone below
Speaker 1: you is not responsible for that. They're just kind of
Speaker 1: falling in line. So everyone you kill is technically innocent.
Speaker 1: To get to the person, the actual bad person, they're
Speaker 1: just going you know, they're just in the rank and file,
Speaker 1: foul rank and file, trying to yeah, just get their paycheck,
Speaker 1: and you're just murdering them because they're just doing their
Speaker 1: job and being like, hey, I have to tell the
Speaker 1: king that you're here because he doesn't want to die. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I forgot. In Dishonored, at the end of the game,
Speaker 1: you have to apologize to all these children at the end. Yeah,
Speaker 1: depending on how many bosses you killed, there's an orphanage. Yeah,
Speaker 1: just like loads and listen, we joke about this, but
Speaker 1: who here played Snake Eater because one of the bosses
Speaker 1: is literally just you walk down a river of the dead,
Speaker 1: and if you kill nobody, you just walk down this river.
Speaker 1: And if you kill a lot of people, you have
Speaker 1: to avoid all these ghosts and they drain you of
Speaker 1: their health and they're trying to march at you and
Speaker 1: grad what yea why it's a it's a great game.
Speaker 1: So so yeah, now that you know, there's the next
Speaker 1: thing up is that there's going to be the fantasy
Speaker 1: uh TV drama of the Witcher, created by Lord Schmidt,
Speaker 1: his rich for Netflix, and it's based on the book series,
Speaker 1: uh not necessarily the game, and uh you know, it's
Speaker 1: you know, there was one video picture that kind of
Speaker 1: leaked recently that looks pretty good. But what I'm seeing
Speaker 1: in this doc right here, it's just I don't know
Speaker 1: what it is. I think maybe it's just too bushy
Speaker 1: of a beard, Like it looks very fake. He just
Speaker 1: looks fake. It just looks bad. They chose a wrong
Speaker 1: person to play the character, unless I'm wrong, unless he
Speaker 1: just kills it and they just did a bad job
Speaker 1: with makeup or costumes or whatever. But it's just hard
Speaker 1: to do video game movies television. I mean, already this
Speaker 1: unifer and I feel like I am gonna be yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm going to be extremely biased because I was in
Speaker 1: love with and I still are still are, you know,
Speaker 1: I you know, talk about first video game crush, I
Speaker 1: was like in it, you know, I mean, if they're
Speaker 1: able to do the monsters really well, if they actually
Speaker 1: developed a good story that we're all interested. That's the
Speaker 1: thing to me is do they touch the moral ambiguity
Speaker 1: or they just gonna go straight forward sex and moms
Speaker 1: and which means I'm like, I don't care. I the
Speaker 1: reason I loved Game of Thrones for so long is
Speaker 1: because they had that gray area that I was like,
Speaker 1: this is interesting, this is complex, And that's what makes
Speaker 1: the Which Are Three such an interesting game to know
Speaker 1: that's that's gonna be very interesting because yeah, you're gonna
Speaker 1: have this guy who can't really step in it's against
Speaker 1: his code. So we'll see. But yeah, no, I'm super
Speaker 1: excited either way, just to see it. You know, video
Speaker 1: game culture has gotten to this point we're finally getting
Speaker 1: to see movie. Well, you know, since we kind of
Speaker 1: wrapping up on the Witcher and there's not much we
Speaker 1: can say about the TV show because there's not much
Speaker 1: that really came out and we really got the game
Speaker 1: top to bottom. I have been asking myself, and I'm
Speaker 1: going to extend the question you if Detective Pikachu was
Speaker 1: the first good video game movie. I haven't seen it yet,
Speaker 1: but I've heard great reviews are that it's Here's the thing.
Speaker 1: I don't think it's going to be like this movie
Speaker 1: is perfect. But I think, to me, like, this was
Speaker 1: a really good movie. We'll see I I enjoyed it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: So I'm wondering, is it the first good video it is?
Speaker 1: It is? No, it is. I've seen every Resident Evil
Speaker 1: movie I've seen. Mario Brothers wasn't that. It wasn't that bad.
Speaker 1: But if you just look at all of them, you're like,
Speaker 1: these are bad movies. Let us not forget Assassin's Creating
Speaker 1: Sonics coming out, Assassin's Creed. Like you said, um, there's
Speaker 1: no video game World of Warcraft that came out. They
Speaker 1: all make money. They all make money. Yeah, but the critically,
Speaker 1: would you want to watch it over and over again? No,
Speaker 1: people watch Mayer Brothers because it's bad. Warcraft could have
Speaker 1: done it, but they rushed it because they wanted to
Speaker 1: get to the cool stuff. And that's the problem that
Speaker 1: you know, I I keep saying, and I promise you
Speaker 1: actually do really like DC. I love the folks over there,
Speaker 1: but d C, that's where they misstepped into their uh,
Speaker 1: cinematic universes. They were trying to uh to the Justice
Speaker 1: League instead of doing the slow bird. If you would
Speaker 1: have just did like your solid Superman Batman. Yeah, but
Speaker 1: we just really were You can tell they're gunning towards
Speaker 1: ay so like so in in the same because like
Speaker 1: the moment in Green Lantern when we started talking about
Speaker 1: Sinestro becoming a yellow Lander Lantern and I was like,
Speaker 1: do you understand how many years have built up it
Speaker 1: was to get to the Lantern war that you shoved
Speaker 1: into this movie. There was no way you hearing us
Speaker 1: Game of Throne season eight? Are you here? Are you
Speaker 1: hearing us leave a water ball on? Do you think
Speaker 1: that's the problem? Not, it's not the problem. I mean
Speaker 1: that was, but that's that's what happens when you like
Speaker 1: you knew it. But but we all know what happened.
Speaker 1: When when you hear that these David Wisson company are
Speaker 1: getting Marvel money, they're like, yeah, no, we're done. Like
Speaker 1: they probably weren't even in the office gone. They're like, y'all, sorry,
Speaker 1: I'm over here, like chopping it up with the russo
Speaker 1: don't they're calling them for like, hey, guys, can we
Speaker 1: get some notes on this No, they literally just buy
Speaker 1: burner phones and set up a voicemail acount where when
Speaker 1: you call it, you says no and then it hangs
Speaker 1: up on I take it back, Mortal Kombat, Greace video
Speaker 1: games ever made that note? There was one really good.
Speaker 1: It was a TV show. It wasn't a movie, um
Speaker 1: and it was It was based on the Last of Us.
