Infendo Radio 829: Switch 2 Exploit, Handheld Showdown & Halloween Games

Hello everybody and welcome to Infendo Radio episode eight

twenty-nine. Justin, Brandon, how the hell are ya?

I, it's good.

I'm here.

Yeah.

Happy

Halloween!

I'm I know you said that it's not,

but I'm still picturing what you're wearing,

Brandon, as just like a devil onesie and that you have like a little

Yeah.

butt flap.

Uh for those of you that are not watching the show,

Hehehehehe

you should

be. um

What did I miss?

I just lifted up the bob of my cowl to show just my man boobies,

that's all.

He showed us his butt flap. Um

Yeah.

Justin Brandon, let's talk about video games.

Yee.

Uh

there wa there wasn't like a whole whole lot other than kind of a uh

Yeah let's let's uh let's

preface this by saying um yeah

Yeah, true.

there's a direct a an indie direct that's supposed to be tomorrow night that we're

not available to record for. So expect that news

Mm.

You

in a

couple of weeks. For now we got nothing.

Good call out, Justin.

Well, I mean th the switch two did get hacked,

so that's kind of big news. Um

Uh

I did not hack my switch

There's a

two. I will not I will not be doing so.

It seems like it's

not really reason yet anyway. It's just more it happened.

Someone was able to look

Yeah.

at all the bits and bobs and

Yeah, then like allegedly like,

you know, put launch the homebrew launcher and you know,

things like that. So but yeah,

like you know, what do y'all make of this?

It seems pretty early for a console to have gotten hacked um in its life cycle.

Thank thank you AI Like that's pretty

Yeah. Well, this one wasn't

Yeah, yeah.

quite AI. This one someone was messing around with.

Managed to do a, I guess, a brute force with the Smile Basic

4 Switch app, which is the thing to teach you how to use basic coding.

Yeah, the um which is n

which is no longer available on the um eShop,

by the way. The Nintendo took that shit down right quick.

Um so um good luck trying to do this I guess,

but um I mean, now the proof of concept is out there,

so people are gonna be they're gonna be fucking with shit,

you know?

I wonder if you could just use something in Joycon Garage,

because that thing had Joycon Garage functionality and...

that's true. Uh somebody's

gonna figure it out.

It's only a matter of time. I mean,

I can't wait. I can't believe we're already seeing place.

mean, the fact that we've got PlayStation games being like hard and fast loaded

to PC and

Yeah.

the system itself completely hacked with like a library of every game able

to be spat out by it. So.

Right. And there was a um like I again,

like the the video that was shown w was pretty funny because he there was like

Peter Griffin like Hatsume Miko in Mario Kart World.

So like that was you know, uh you know,

Yeah, people who people smarter

it the hacker's gonna do shit.

than me, they can pull this off.

uh

Yeah.

Yeah, so yeah, Switch Two's hacked.

I not like a permanent hack. It's f it's just like,

Hmm

you know, basically

an exploit, but I you know, I I feel like that's coming now.

Apparently system

restart, it's gone and...

Heck, think even if the SmileBasic app is closed,

it's gone, so... It's early,

Right. Yeah.

but

it seems to indicate it's coming.

Yeah.

Yeah, definitely. Um, and then really the only other news is the news that

we already talked about that there's an indie direct come in tomorrow.

it sounds like it's probably gonna be around fifteen minutes or so.

Um, yeah, I I I I like these indie directs,

but I just don't know that it's gonna be um,

you know, for us. S you know, the our this

Yeah.

particular audience in this room.

It's

always kind of a hit and miss situation.

There's usually one or two things that'll always catch my eye,

but ah

Sure.

For the most part in 15 minutes,

it sounds like there's not a whole lot we're going into on this one But it's nice

Yeah.

that

they they give a platform to show that these games are coming for the indie

developers on the platform

Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Yeah.

Everything's on switch, after all.

Yup.

Yeah. Um, well then what else?

I there literally was no other news that I saw anyway.

I figured with our discussion topic.

Is there anything else that caught y'all's eye?

Yeah, I figured with the discussion topic

Yeah, yeah, that's true. We're gonna move into

yeah, that's right. I gotta bring up my list.

I know I have

oh, here we go.

mine on uh I have mine on another screen too.

So okay, well

I was able to...

we got to talking after the show last week.

I don't know if I remember if it just came from like a Discord message or like right

after the show. But anyways, w we have a lot of handheld fucking video game

Ha ha ha.

systems. Um

Justin just got a brand new one.

Um and we got to thinking

How many fucking handheld video games consoles do each of us have?

Um I I saw, Brandon, I saw you posted some stuff in the actual show notes.

So I I I

Yeah.

think that you might have me beat.

but I think that that's because I'm cheating a little bit on mine and counting

some things as handhelds that might not otherwise be considered handhelds.

But anyways, um, Brandon, I think I'm gonna let you go first.

what what what what kind of kind of collection you got?

Okay. So, so,

And I'll be

I'll be B R B.

so asterisks, I'm not counting all of the Game Boy Pocket,

like,

Hm.

four parts blocks I bought, only to discover there is only one thing wrong

with all of them and it's a pain in the ass to fix.

Uh, there is a single tiny... What's that?

I just happened to think of something.

Is VirtualBoy

included in portable systems? But it was supposed to be.

No, no, no, no, it is definitely

Is it? I don't know.

I disagree. ah I would say that...

ah But yeah, I'm not counting things I have for parts.

I have 13 handheld consoles,

apparently. ah Of this, I am counting my three iPhones,

my two previous gen ones, and my current.

ah Even though I don't play games on them,

they are capable of such. um

I have two ambernic handhelds.

uh see here. Those are just little little emulator guys.

I have, one game boy advanced micro,

uh, one DS lights, one DSI,

uh, one new three DS XL two three DS XLs not new.

Two of

Yeah. uh

don't even

d I'm I I'm just gonna say it right now.

I'm not listing off every individual one I have.

If I have five

I am.

Game Boy Advanced SPs, I'm just gonna say I have a Game Boy Advance SP because

I don't even know where half of my stuff are.

He doesn't want the number. He doesn't

want to know the number. Let's see here.

Ha ha ha.

I have

one I have a the old school. Oh gee day one switch And my day one switch

to and that is my 13 Handheld consoles I I think I play

like of in the handheld world probably my like amberneck with the game

boy ah

Mm-hmm.

size and form factor that one I've definitely got the most handheld

out of other than of course my 3dsx new 3dsxl gets a fair amount

of occasional play when I'm I'm working from home so those are my big twos right

there

Nice. The

What?

the did you so this is my might give spoilers for my list,

but um I included tablets in that list because I play

Mmm.

games on tablets sometimes.

Oh jeez. Well I guess I'm gonna have to add a few more things now.

I guess I can't,

I would count my, I almost could count my laptop,

but, uh, no. Not gonna do that.

That's more for tasks than it is for gaming of any type.

S

seems not in the spirit of the category.

No, no, but tablets,

I don't have, all of my tablets are broken,

so I'm not counting any of them.

ah They're all cheesy tablet,

Android tablets that I used before I wanted to have a smartphone.

And now that I have smartphones,

I don't need them anymore. ah They will sit and get poofy batteries and

Yeah.

that's how it's going to go.

Uh speaking of which I should probably

Alright, well

rummage through my old laptops and make sure nothing has exploded.

Get a little poo- You see that little flex under the-

Well I I I took out

Brandon I think was the one that tipped me off to that,

so I actually got scared and I just took all my batteries out of my old c uh

Yeah.

consoles because I was like, fuck that.

Just just take out.

Kinda like how when that news

report came out about the Wii U uh memory uh basically dying,

Yeah.

w uh we all just plugged our Wii Us in whether we were playing it or not.

Yeah, I still do that like at least

Yeah, exactly.

once or twice a year. eh Just to be sure.

Yeah. Okay,

Justin, I want you to go next.

I'm a little bit scared for your list 'cause I know you've got a ton of gadgets.

But I'm

All right.

all more scared that I have more gadgets than you do.

So um please go.

Alright, so as I said before, I anything that I have multiples of,

I'm not counting all of them because I don't necessarily know how many of them

I have and how many still work.

So this is just kind of a list of every uh portable device,

but not necessarily every port like every individual device.

Okay.

So

starting in more or less chronological order.

Next. Um

I do have a handful of the old,

like pre uh I don't even know how you would call it pre L C D or whatever.

You know, I've got a couple of old gaming watches.

Um I've got what one of

sure.

those tabletop Coleco Donkey Kong arcade machines,

Oh, what...

which I think

use the like the vacuum type of light things.

Ooh.

And uh I have

a couple of Tiger Electronic handhelds somewhere in the attic,

but uh I don't think any of those really count for much.

No, I I did I omitted weird little handheld things I had

Sure.

so starting at systems that can have interchangeable games

and starting with Nintendo, I have at least one Game Boy Pocket,

Game Boy Color, Game Boy Advance.

I have several Game Boy Advance SPs,

uh including at least one of the uh AGB 101 models with

the clearer screen.

Ooh.

yeah,

that's the that's the the pinnacle.

Speaking of which, I also have a Game Boy Micro.

I used to have an original Fat Nintendo DS,

but that got stolen. Uh,

but I do still have at least one DS Lite.

At one point I upgraded to a DSI XL,

I traded that in for a 3DS,

I traded the 3DS in for a 3DS XL,

and I traded the 3DS XL in for a new 3ds XL.

So I don't know how much you want to count all of those,

but

I would

only count ones you currently possess at this time.

ah

Okay. Well, I definitely

have at least a few of those still laying around,

whether they're in use or not.

Um, obviously I have at least one Nintendo Switch

and at least one Switch OLED. I also have my Switch 2.

I've got both the Mario and Zelda gaming watches.

Are we counting those?

shit, I also have those.

Oh shit.

Those

All right. Well while you guys figure that out

are technically single game handhelds.

I'm not counting those.

No, they also have

uh the the Game and Watch games and they have multiple games.

Super Mario has Mario one and two.

But can't get,

you can't put different games on it.

It just has the games that it came with.

You can if you mod it. Alright,

Nah, I haven't found a good way to nama those.

alright, alright, alright, alright.

Well I listed them anyway.

They actually,

weirdly, that was the one they were like,

yeah, let's not have the USB port also be a data port of any kind.

Yeah.

And that

kind of put the futzpah in the,

Yeah, that was really a shame because I really wanted to turn my my little Mario

Game and Watch into a Game N' Watch emulator that played all the original Game

That would have been cool.

and Watches. Speaking of which,

I really wish that the uh that the Game and Watches came with the original Game

and Watch versions of Mario and Zelda,

but they don't. But moving on.

it doesn't? I thought it did.

It does not.

Nope, it came with

Seems like a miss.

Uh Mar yeah,

It came with the wee- yeah, the-

the-

Mario came with Ball and Zelda came with some other classic Game

and Watch game that I can't remember,

but yeah, neither of them came with their game and watch versions.

I

thought the Zelda had just had Zelda 1 and it also had like the Link's

It has it It has Zelda 1,

Awakening DX or something.

Zelda 2, and Link's Awakening.

Um and then it

Always forget Zelda 2.

also has a Game and Watch game that I think Link's faces put on.

I know they did that for Mario.

Anyway moving on.

Maybe it's... yeah.

Uh Sega Game Gear, of course.

that was my first pretty much my first

First ever portable system with interchangeable games.

I had that before I ever had a Game Boy.

Wow.

I have had a PSP one thousand and a PSP two thousand,

although I don't think either of them work,

but I do have a Vita OLED, so you know,

you son of a bitch I want one of those

there's my portable PlayStation.

I want one of those

Oh shit, does

my does my GameCube with the screen and the battery on the bottom count then

No. NO! We have to draw a line somewhere!

as portable? Oh man

I mean I mean if we're including if we're including that then

Now we're gonna like, what-

what about my PS one with the attached flip up monitor?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, we're we can't

Yeah.

get into attached screens on consoles.

That's too much Handheld do you you hold it in your hand?

Let's let's keep it to things that happen.

I played that in the car. I played Smash Bros.

on the way in the car on the way to soccer.

Alright, let's keep it to think

You held it in your hand all

you held it y'all the old console in your head Were you able to do that?

Alright, let's keep it to things

that that have like built in batteries or ran on batteries or something.

I'm more going

with, can you hold it with two hands and play it?

Fair, fair, fair, fair, fair, fair.

Well that would count for my analog pocket,

which I have uh some

Yeah

some news for in my change of the system.

Uh and my AYN Thor.

Um I have had over the course of the years

Shall we?

retroid pockets. Um I think I currently have the Four Pro

And then of course I've got my Steam Deck.

I've had several iPhones and iPads over the years.

And the uh are we counting the quests?

I'm counting the quest. I have the quest three

I think you can count the quest.

and have had the quests one and two in the past.

Shit, that makes- me at 14 then.

Yeah, I I think you count the quest.

14

So I think that's my com

I think that's my complete list.

Um I went through basically a complete list of all portable video game systems

ever, including like emulators and stuff like that,

and pretty much just whittled down the ones that I had.

and just sort of like checked it off.

15. I still

Yeah.

have my original quest too. God.

Yeah. Okay. All right. Well, Justin,

Making my numbers go up. Stop it.

I'm gonna say you absol y Justin absolutely has

Let's see here.

Um

me beat.

obviously most of these don't get much play anymore,

but uh I've definitely been putting more time into the Steam Deck,

Thor, and Analog Pocket, trying to get them to basically be my all in one gaming

devices.

Hmm.

I've had a couple of laptops. I don't know if those count.

Anyway, Eugene, are you still here?

No, no! Can you hold it with two hands?

You look frozen.

Eugene Eugene is gone. I kept waiting

Noooo uh

for I kept waiting for him to take the torch and and give us his list

and he was just kinda

We're still going on the streaming channels.

uh

Hello

YouTube and Twitch and wherever the heck else we are.

Is there anyone in here?

No? Ah, we got away with it.

Yeah.

I thought it looked like Eugene was having some trouble,

because he kept getting towards the ground and doing all sorts of fiddling over there

and like disappearing and reappearing and...

It's a shame. Gosh.

well I guess we'll

we'll take a brief intermission here while we're waiting for Eugene to come back.

So uh Eugene is back.

oh,

there he is.

Eugene, it is your turn.

Eugene, we can't hear you.

Why are you looking at us like that?

It's true.

He's trying to figure it out.

Still nothing.

Something has gone awry.

Did you say Oury?

Yes, I did.

You're the worst.

I am... I'm the devil!

wait. There we go. I'll say I thought I heard something come from Eugene.

Okay, now she'll be back. Um, I don't know.

I don't know what happened, but it's probably one of those like too many

USB hour power hub things um because yeah,

dropped internet. But I'm here.

Um I'm gonna blame it on my cat though.

But um

Yeah.

Justin, I y you absolutely have me beat.

Um I thought I might have a chance,

but no, you have way more devices than I do.

I'm gonna start from kind of chronological order,

I suppose, as well.

Um, so I fa have an original Game Boy.

See, that's one

I don't have.

I lost

Okay.

mine in a horrible tragedy.

I I did not a game

I did not get a Game Boy until the pocket came out.

Um funny enough, I never got one until the color came out,

but that that one's my girlfriend's or my girlfriend,

my wife's rather. Um this

Your wife.

is also my um my wife's original Game

oooo

Boy color. Um

my god, I just

found my original purple Game Boy color while I was cleaning out

one of the closets last week.

Um, we have two Game Boy colors.

Mine is somewhere up in a box,

but I have a clear one that was from Japan,

like imported from Japan. I got it from uh from

Nice.

Replay Games, like the local like game shop,

and I was the coolest kid in town because I had a clear Game Boy.

Um so that was fun. Um I also have a Game Boy.

Let's see if I can find it. No,

I don't have my Game Boy Advance anywhere,

but I have one on a purple.

Game Boy Advance, like original,

like the Taco style Game Boy Advance.

Um, have one of those. I have my uh Game Boy Advance S P,

um, my favorite ever.

favorite.

Also like also like Justin, it's the good version with the good um screen.

Well see, I have multiples

But it's what

of those because, you know, back in

It's a great system!

Well, and

Mm.

you know, back in the early to mid two thousands there were all those GameCube

games that had uh Game Boy Advance special features,

Mm, mm. The connectivity, yeah.

so so I went

Aw man, get, yeah.

I actually went out uh this is this is college when I still lived at home

but had a job, so you know, disposable income galore.

Um, I actually went out and bought

four Game Boy Advance SPs and four GameCube to Game Boy Advance link cables

so that any time I wanted to play uh four swords adventures or something like that

with my friends, I had everything I needed.

Sure. yeah, for I was the one that was lugging it around for Final Fantasy

Crystal Chronicles. I couldn't find my original DS fat,

a blue one, but I know that's in a box somewhere um in the house.

I could find, however, my DS Lite.

I didn't know I was supposed to make a pile.

I have t well

I

The that's part of the reason why I was a little bit late because I had to find

all my shit. m

Oh.

I have I have two of these. Uh again,

I couldn't find the w the black one though.

This is the one that uh works.

The black one doesn't work for some reason and I just haven't had time

Aww.

to like I I'm gonna be able to fix it,

but I just just haven't had time in the ten years,

I-I-I-It

you know?

took me a while to find out there's these extremely tiny little fuses.

In DSes

Okay.

and like some of the Gameboys,

when they fr- if you get a system that doesn't power on when you flick it,

it doesn't make a noise, it doesn't do anything,

That's exactly what mine is happening.

nine- nine times out of ten, it's this extremely

It's a fuse. Okay.

tiny microfuse that's very hard-

you have to micro-solder it.

So it sucks. I don't have a good microsottering setup.

I'm a terrible solder. Um I I I I try.

Um okay, well there

I was until I discovered Flux.

ah

is um the I I like I said I couldn't find my other DS,

but I have a black one and a white one.

I have a DSI somewhere in this pile.

Yeah. So DSI. Um I love the DSI.

We got it. Really?

This is this is probably

one of Nintendo's

best systems. I just like the buttons on the DSI.

They're very clicky. They feel just really nice.

I never had uh an original DSI.

Um I did get the DSI

no?

XL because, you know, I wanted the bigger the bigger system with a bigger screen,

but I never actually no, wait,

scratch that. I don't think I ever had a DSI XL No I did.

It was the it was the the one with Luigi on it

journey.

that came with Dream Team.

Mmm. Okay,

Ah.

sure. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Um, DSI is great though.

Eugene, I think you and I have the same coffee cup.

I I

Yeah, most likely. F if it's from Walmart,

Stream team? Yeah, no, that's the yes.

then yes. Um

then but yeah, DSI, I I just I just love the button feel on that one.

I it's just got a great buttons.

Um so that's DSI. Then we move into three

I love the buttons on the Game Boy

Advance SP, like they were just the right amount of

Mm.

clicky and squishy.

Yeah, they're good. Um next it we're moving into the DS library.

I have my original DS, my

3DS

or my sorry, three DS, my ambassador program three DS.

classic.

this though is probably the best console of all time.

The 3DS uh XL. It just is it it has the fit same clicky button feel

as the DSI that I appreciated.

So um yeah it's

It's just the perfect console.

New 3DS XL

It feels so good.

is like one of my... that is definitely of all the handhelds that has to have

yeah. Well and especially once

the most time on.

yeah. Wait.

you mod it and can play literally anything any Nintendo portable game on it,

it's just like the best.

Yeah.

It's

Did did they do

serious.

3DS XL and new 3DS XL? Okay,

Yes.

so this is the new version. I didn't specify that.

A in in

in North America we didn't even get the original new three D S until like a year

or two later. Jap it was a Japan exclusive and for a

Yeah.

couple of years, I think.

And they made all

these little back panels for it.

ah

Oh

Yeah. Oh yeah. Mm-hmm.

I was so jealous.

Um, okay. So th now we move into the switch library.

I have two of those. Just the regular regular old switches.

one of them is at my hacked switch,

so that's barely a switch. Um But yeah,

so I have two of those. I have my switch too,

and then now we're gonna get into like the ones that you might not really count.

I still count my AYN Thor, but I don't know,

some people might not count that for some reason 'cause it's an Android handheld.

I count that, that,

But definitely

yeah, I counted

I count it.

my amber necks. ah

Okay, cool.

AY AYN Thor is on the list. These one

If it's a portable

if it's a portable piece of hardware that is designed to play video games,

I'm counting it.

If it has a battery

These n

in it and you hold it in your hand,

it's a handheld.

Fair enough. Well, these next uh like 18,

you're probably gonna give me the side eye.

I have about five uh Tiger Electronics toys

Yeah.

um uh l in various boxes.

it counts ah

So I'm

counting those. Uh I have a TI eighty three plus because you're not gonna

convince me that's not a video game console because I played video games

in high school all the time with that.

Um

I think that deserves

an asterisk, but alright, I'll let ya.

I never

got around

Mm.

to playing games on my calculators.

man, we we used to link

I forget how you had to do it.

we we d had a thing where 'cause you there was like a link cable basically where

you can connect two calculators together and we would play chess together

on the calculators that way. Um so that was fun.

And and they they had just like a Mario clone.

There was like a f like essentially like Flappy Bird before Flappy Bird

was a thing. So yeah, there was there's there was a lot you can do on there.

Phoenix for all my Phoenix heads.

That was the best game on uh the T I eighty three plus.

Um, anyways,

Mmm.

uh then again with the side eye,

I have six tablets. They're all like basically like Android tablets,

most of them Kindle or I guess Fire tablets,

the Amazon ones. Um but I do play games on those,

like you can like do things. My one of them is my kids,

and that's all he does is play games on it.

So you know, that's what those are for.

It's a Ike,

But but then

I also have six um old Android phones.

And not all of them are for playing games,

but I do use them for that. I even have like one of those like backbone things,

you know, that you can just like grip

Yeah.

on. And then I use that a lot for um streaming from my game server to play

on those. So yeah, I'll just like give it to my,

you know, to the kiddo if he's wants something.

I was like, yeah, here you go.

So yeah, that's uh that's that.

Um

I that's a lot of things, but Justin,

by far I I think you are the winner,

so congratulations.

I gather

I'm the only person able to come up with an actual number then.

No, I can count now.

Let's see. One, two, three, four 'cause I have a list here.

One, two, three, four, five, six,

seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven,

twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen,

sixteen. Sixteen if you're counting um the real ones.

Um, and then you add on another nineteen if you're counting all my phones and Tiger

Electronic toys.

All right, that's quite a, that's a number.

Yeah. But

Justin's,

Jesse's like, I don't even know.

Ha ha ha.

Yeah,

no, I'm not even gonna bother counting every individual device that I have

because like I said, I've got a bunch of old ones that just aren't used anymore,

or like I said, certain things that I bought multiples of years ago or lost

Mm-hmm.

and replaced, you know, just like

Yeah, yeah, understood. Um, okay,

well then I guess that takes us to what we've been playing.

I was gonna do Nintendo's, but since my internet crapped out,

now I can't because the in person guest is gone,

so boo hoo on that. Um

Ah!

but yeah, we can talk about the games we've been playing.

Um y'all mind if I go first? 'Cause I think mine's gonna be a little shorter

than y'all's lists.

Double.

Okay. Well, much like the end of my handheld list,

I'm gonna start with not video game um or asterisk video games,

I guess. I've been doing I think I talked about this a few weeks ago,

but I've been um like de googling in my life.

So the last thing that I've been doing is um like getting off of like,

hey, you know, okay, Google and like talking to like my voice assistant,

right? So what I did was I I have like a computer here.

that I bought off of fucking Craigslist,

an old one. And then I bought an old,

um it's not old, oldish, a thirty fifty graphics card for like it's like a hundred

and twenty bucks off of Facebook Marketplace.

And all that means that now I have local AI.

So I have like an L L um installed on my graphics card.

So now I can

basically do like the, you know,

the Hay Siri shit, but like locally.

So it's not going out to like,

you know, Google or Amazon servers or anything like that,

you know? So that's been pretty cool to fuck around with,

Okay.

quite

honestly. and th that led me to getting all of my devices

off of like Google and y so that,

you know, again, like I don't if you have one of the Google homes or anything,

like basically it's always listening,

you know, because it has to send

Shit to the server when you say like the wake command.

So um yeah, like I those are completely gone now.

I bought a bunch of second generation Amazon Echo 2 dots,

because those are hackable. Because it's funny you mentioned having a USB port

on the game and watch. It's because these have a USB port that allows data.

So people were able to like

Oops.

Yeah, exactly. They were able to hack the shit out of them.

And it's great because uh

I I don't know if you guys know what like ESP32 is.

It's like a like a standard th thing that but it works with Home Assistant,

which I use. Um and yeah, it's like literally completely a hundred percent

off off of the internet other than just my network.

So yeah, I can do a lot of cool stuff with it.

Uh I I have a thing set now where like the I I got this

from a thing that I watched on a YouTube video,

so you guys might have already seen this.

But I have it set so that it can recognize when the like FedEx driver is pulling

up because it like, you know, okay,

FedEx truck. And then when the

Yeah.

FedEx person uh crosses a ther certain threshold on my driveway,

I can do things. So like if it's dark outside,

I can turn on all the lights. Or if I wanted to,

I can play like a song on the outside speakers for him or something like that,

you know? So yeah, but like,

That'll be weird for him. Uh,

sure.

you

know

I could I could do things like that if I wanted to.

Like somebody actually did that.

They like played a stupid song for the I think it was like a UPS person.

But anyways, yeah. So yeah, just doing stupid shit with my um local machine.

But yeah, and it I basically was said like fuck chat GPT,

flu fuck Claude, you know, I build my own shit,

you know? So that's what I'm doing.

Um and I I don't know, I'm excited about it.

I like it.

Um so then moving into the video game stuff though.

Um I've been playing Bioshock Infinite.

I don't remember if I got it on like a humble bundle or

Wow.

something, but um I that's usually where I get most of my shit that I'm playing

is on some bundle for cheap. cool,

like twelve games for twenty bucks?

Cool.

I have

I have the Bioshock trilogy on Switch and I just haven't gotten around to playing

it but Infinite is is uh one of the ones that I really wanna play someday.

It's it's really

Mm-hmm.

good. Um for it's not as good as I remember it,

but it's still good for a game from that era,

you know? Um I remember like, you know,

when that game came out, everybody was talking about like Game of the Century

and everything like that. And I was kind of side-eyeing at that point,

but I was like, yeah, sure, it's really good.

And now that I'm playing it again,

it it's like, okay, like uh because I just came off of playing Bioshock Infinite

or the original uh not too long ago.

I don't know if I talked about that on the show,

but that one is

where it really hit me like, you know,

the will you kindly like the whole the

Yeah.

whole bit. Like it it just got me.

So um and then going to Bioshock Infinite,

I'm like, yeah, I can kinda see but it it yeah,

it it it's good better gameplay,

The the

I feel like,

but not as good story.

The thing about infinite for for me

It's a I always heard it the other way around

the story is good, but like they scaled down the creativity in the combat.

Uh, that. I don't know.

Sure. I th I just th

there was just more plasmids to play with,

so that was like, cool, that's fun.

Okay.

Yeah, the thing

about Infinite for me is that that one,

like, unlike Bioshock 2, that one was actually made by the original creator

of Bioshock and

Mm.

System Shock and

Yep.

all that. So, like, I really wanted to play that 'cause it th seemed like

Ken Levine?

more of a legitimate uh follow up rather than just a shoehorn sequel.

Yeah, right. Um actually the bio mm?

No, no, no, it was... It was...

God, I'm trying to think of his name.

He made Epic Mickey. uh

Yeah,

oh don't make me tr uh Ken

you're talking about the

Levine something

That's what I

thought of, but I don't think it's like

Spicer or something. ah Anybody in the chat?

I it I'm

sh I'm showing

I'm Googling it.

um I'm showing Ken Levine as the game developer behind the Bioshock series.

Ken Levine, I was right. Wow. No,

Yes, both of y'all were right.

No, I was right.

I said Ken Levine,

wait, nevermind. It doesn't matter.

Yeah.

Doesn't

matter. You can have it. I don't care.

But but anyways, I I wanna s I

Minerva's Den, the DLC for Bioshock 2,

probably some of the best uh Bioshock content if you haven't played that,

Justin. So maybe go give that a a look see.

One of the few Switch

I just...

games I have on cartridge.

Well there you go. Um okay, but yeah,

Bioshock Infinite. I think I'm gonna end up finishing it.

But um yeah, yeah, I mean it's good.

It but it's it's just it's not just it's just not the bee's knees like I thought

it was back in the day. So, uh moving into the rest of my list.

Prince of Persia, the lost crown.

Um, an oldie

Ooh.

but a goody. Um I hadn't played it before,

but again, uh w I think it's on like this month's humble choice or something like

that. So I like, Yeah, cool,

Yeah.

I'm gonna fifteen bucks and I will

get a bunch of games and this ended up being the game that I ended up sticking

Stop it.

with. Um i I mean it's just i i would you consider Metroidvania?

Is this like is that is that what you would Yeah.

Yeah, yeah, that's

what I thought that thing was.

It was a metroidvania castle,

you know, yeah, metroidvania.

Yeah, it's

definitely in that it's not ex I mean,

it's not exactly that 'cause it's still got some Prince of Persianess to it,

but it essentially is. Like there's a lot of backtracking,

you

I

mean, like, my understanding is the coolest thing they added is,

if you hit that spot that you can't get to unless you have a specific power,

you can take a picture of it and it'll show on the map and say,

hey, come back here. ah

Oh

sure. Yeah, right. The it it's very convenient.

Yeah. but no, it's a good game.

I ha I haven't put too much time in it.

Probably an hour and a half, two hours.

but I've been bouncing off of uh that and Well Dweller and Bioshock Infinite,

which I just talked about. But Well Dweller is what I've been putting my most

time into. Um I I think I'm gonna finish it this weekend because it's Halloween

and like it's kind of a spooky game,

so it's you it's just gonna

kick off the the h holiday season for me and I think it'll be a good uh finish

there. So I'll talk about that at the end of the all right in in the next show

I suppose. But man, it's uh I know I've d talked about it for the last couple

of weeks, but it just keeps throwing more at you.

Like there's um every time I think that I've seen every like mechanic that

the game has to offer, it just kinda gives you something else,

you know? Like y you can up this is early on.

Cool

lie down.

But um

w one um one thing that I that comes to mind when I think about that is there's

these like streams of air. And typically like when you first start the game,

like you can jump on the stream of air and it just kinda like,

you know, it i it give it makes you almost like have a moon jump,

you know? It like slows down your

Mm-hmm.

descent. Which is cool. It's good.

Like it's a good mechanic. And then like you can like jump down these chasms

and then slowly descend down and not hit like the spikes type of thing,

right? But then somewhere

Yeah.

Down the line in the game, it's probably about I don't know,

10%, 20% into the game. You get this ability where if you're in air,

like in the air, you can fly. So that just opens up a whole other like aspect.

It's like well shit. Now I need to go back to where all the air was so I can like

go fucking fly and you know find out what's up on the top of this l level now,

you know? So but yeah, it love this game,

really good. Um I think it's game pass.

so I

If you wanna try a free game that and you're a Game Pass subscriber,

go do that. But yeah, fucking Well Dweller,

good ass game. And that kinda is it for me,

unless you want to talk about 3D printing shit.

Wait, actually I do want to show.

Hmm.

you got a thing.

Eugene coming in saying he ain't been doing anything.

Okay, so check

this guy out. He's a little little little

Ah sweet.

pumpkin tie fighter. And oh fuck no.

Oh, nah.

Did you design that?

Ha ha

I just found it

online. Um but yeah, you can put a little like candle in there and it'll like glow,

so it's really cool. we're gonna put this outside.

Don't put a candle in there, don't put a candle in there.

Yeah.

Well, not like a real candle, like one of those like tea c yeah,

And LED, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

yeah. Yeah.

the LED ones. He's doing it.

Like this like one of these.

He's doing it. Yes, I have

so many of those things.

yeah, absolutely. But yeah, they've been doing a bunch of like Halloween three

They're great for power outages.

D printing.

Ooh, that does look good.

Love

it. So yeah, that's uh that's kind of been on my story.

So who wants to take next?

Just like me.

Okay.

I may as well, since I don't uh have a whole lot,

once again. I have finished

uh the Lost and Damned st you know,

expansion to Grand Theft Auto four.

I still have the other two

Nice.

stories that I'm playing through,

but

Yeah, that's it's it's moving right along.

I'm constantly checking to make sure that I'm keeping everything in chronological

order because again, unlike Grand Theft Auto Five,

you can't just hot swap between characters,

you have to load into a whole new game.

Uh but it is really cool seeing certain parts of the story told from different

perspectives, but like like back to back instead of having to play separate games

for it. Um

Mm-hmm.

I'll probably have that finished by next week,

the week after when does six come out?

I think the 15.

Okay. Yeah, I should have that done before six come out comes out.

But uh

Yeah

so that's mostly what I have been playing,

but I did uh get s

You're not gonna be sick

of Grand Theft Auto by then?

no, I'm I mean one of the things I love about

He's never been sick of Grand Theft Auto.

Ha ha ha.

GTA four is it's first of all,

it's New York City. I mean it isn't,

but it is. Um and I always love anything that's set in New York.

But the other uh thing about it is i i for

I mean any of us who are old enough to have played it remember this,

but GTA four was a little bit more on the realistic side than than most of the other

games in the franchise. And I kinda like that.

Like the physics, the driving physics,

the ragdoll physics, everything just has a slightly more like believable

uh realistic slant to it than it does in like five or three or any you know,

any of the others.

Would you say like kinda like Red Dead Redemption Two then?

Yeah, actually I was thinking earlier,

Grand Theft Auto 4 is kind of uh kind

Frodo.

of leads

nicely into Red Dead Redemption because again it is more story-based.

It's basically the same engine.

Yeah, it's more story bo-based,

it's more realistic, um, it's more about the character interactions and stuff like

that. So yeah, I feel like uh GTA 4 might have been a template for Red Dead

Redemption.

And then of course the GTA V came out and it was more like the old PS2 games where

things were a little bit crazier and over the top and brighter and more colorful.

And I love GTA five, but there's just something about,

you know, driving around you know New York City and wreaking havoc that's always been

fun for me. the

This is what I wanna do in Florida.

Yeah, I can't I can't wait for for

six, um especially since I've actually lived in Florida and traveled through

at least some parts of Florida,

so there might be some familiarity there.

I am very surprised

we haven't seen any leaks of here is their fake Disney world ah

Yeah,

I heard that they are doing like a theme park section of the map,

I can't see,

but

I can't see how they can't.

Right.

Um, aside from that, oddly enough,

um I have for some reason decided to play Batman Arkham Asylum again.

I don't know why. It is such

That's such a good game!

a good game. It is actually it is my favorite of that franchise.

I love that game. Mm-hmm. That's the first one,

right? Okay. Yeah, that's the one I love.

That's the first one. Yeah,

It that one's so good. Like City

yeah. Because

and w and the other ones, they're fine,

but that one just fucking mm.

Yeah, I mean the open world

in in in in city and uh night are f are fine and fun,

but I just have trouble with the fact that you have this twenty,

thirty, fifty, however many hour long game and through the entire thing

it is nighttime and raining. Like like with with

Yeah.

with an open world

Sure.

if you have an open world with no passage of time,

It's not an open world though.

it just

feels weird.

Yep. It's not really an open world,

Whereas Arkham As yeah. Ar Arkham

but it's...

Asylum at least like the game,

like the story can be finished in about ten to fifteen hours and you know

It's short, I love it.

the story

kind of follows through and you know,

you it's not open world, it's I mean it's a little open world,

but you know, you only have the island of Arkham to explore.

But it's

almost Metroidvania the way everything unlocks.

Yeah, a little bit.

And then...

Yeah,

I I would say that that's absolutely Metroidvania,

right? Like I would

Yeah.

totally classify it as one.

Yeah, I

w yeah, actually I never really thought of that.

But yeah, it's definitely more Metroidvania than,

you know, your open world stuff.

Um Yeah.

And I think that's why I liked it better than uh

like you know, City and the the following ones.

So yeah.

Yeah, it just felt like when it got more open world it got a little less

cohesive.

It became a little too sprawling.

I do like how Arkham Asylum very much feels like you're playing

a Batman uh animated series episode,

basically,

Yeah.

but it's modernized.

Right.

ah

Um

I did get to play some more of Castlevania Belmont's Curse.

Um I still haven't bought that game.

I don't know if I will, but I'm playing the demo and I'm kinda digging it.

I'm hearing really

It's

good things from that

Same.

game.

So I have never really pla

Same. I'm considering it.

yeah, I've never really played a modern Castlevania game.

uh excuse me

So this is kind of my

my first one. And it does play like the the controls and everything feels

a lot like Metroid Dread. Um so that

is uh that is kinda helping me get into

I mean, that's tight. That means it's tight.

it a little better.

Nice.

Oh

Um, I've played a few le a few new levels in Dench Attacks,

still trying to get the hang of it,

but

that's on my list too, actually.

Forgot about that, but still a good game.

Fuck.

It's great game. Love the game.

Play good games.

But yeah, that's really just about it.

I haven't really had much time for playing anything else.

I have done a little bit of like I uh put some new ROMs and cores

on my uh analog pocket, so I can play some of those.

That's just kinda sitting around for a while not really being used enough,

so I figured may as well turn it into a little

Portable play anything two D system.

yeah, it's a cool device.

Um and

the only other game that I really want

to sh talk about,

show off, is uh more of a board game really.

So luckily we have

Oh, okay.

a uh

Tabletop gaming?

luckily we have video this this week.

I got myself a Plinko!

my lord.

How much

gameplay can you actually get out of this?

I'm gonna be honest. Yeah, that's it.

About that much. It's it's really more of a it's really more of a fidget

I'm

That's pretty much... I GOT A PLEKO!

toy

than anything, but I've always like Plinko was all Plinko has

That is amazing. Yeah.

always been one of my favorite Prices Right games,

and when I saw on Amazon

For real.

that they had a a home version of it,

I'm like That's that's perfect.

They need to set that up in my office,

put it next to the computer desk,

and any time I need to fidget with something,

I'll just drop a

Doink.

drop a thing down and see. The

only the only complaint I have about it is,

you know, in in prices right Plinko,

the scores go like a thousand and and zero,

a hundred, five hundred, something like that.

And here it's just one, two, three,

four, five, six, seven. Oh. Yeah,

There's not quite as many slots.

Mm.

it cap It came with

instructions, so there is like a board game element to this that I haven't

bothered to

I'm going to assume

that's how you roll the dice. eh

Yeah, like you d I think

you still have to guess the price of something and and that determines

Oh that makes sense.

how many p things you get,

Hmm.

but I mean

Yeah.

really nobody's ever gonna play this game with me.

I'm just gonna drop the drop the things down and see how many points I can get.

You're just gonna Plinko your own.

Yeah.

I I just watched like a video,

I don't even remember what it was,

uh probably like a YouTube short or something,

but of apparently a couple years ago,

maybe ten years ago on The Price Is Right,

they uh like accidentally left the Plinko machine wired to always go to a thousand.

Uh so this contestant one like literally dropped all of or ten thousand,

because ten thousand is the max in in Plinko.

Yeah.

So this contestant like I think got like three in a row,

and then the producer had to run out and stop the show.

Turns out that they like the night before,

they were running a promo like video and they had like uh fishing wire that so that

like the the board was always wired to go into the middle.

Oh. That's hilarious.

but uh because of like uh like technically it's it's not that contestant's fault.

So like they just gave the the

Contestant the money, anyways.

But that I guess that episode never aired.

Um, but yeah, it's just

Yeah.

Hmm

interesting. Price is right, lore,

huh?

Yeah, I've never

They once...

I've never heard that story and I went in

That's cool.

search of a video or something of it,

but

Go, uh it's Drew Carey who was in an interview on something.

So go look at Drew Carey Plinko something.

it's the Drew Carrier. Which is like the last ten years,

Yeah. Drew Carey Plinko rigged or

Okay.

by the way.

something and it'll pop up. It was it was when he very early on because he was cause

he joked, he's like, I thought I was gonna get fired um type of thing.

So yeah. Anyways, that's Plinko.

here we go. TV Insider the price

he found it.

is right, Plinko Nightmare cost player fifty thousand dollars.

Wow.

Yeah. So um but that Justin,

what o other things have you been doing?

Anything else? You got you got anything else in your sleeve?

Nah, not r haven't really had a whole lot of game playing time,

you know, like an hour at the end of the day,

and maybe an hour here or there.

Mm.

I've I have had a couple of times to jump in and play some Mario Kart World.

I played it with my kids over the weekend.

I played some online. As usual,

I got a great group of friends.

If you wanna join me for some cross country races,

uh send me a friend request. But

Yeah, that's pretty much it. Haven't really had a whole lot of game playing

time and most of it's been taken up by Grand Theft Auto.

There you go.

Well,

fair enough. Cool. Well, Brandon,

that must mean that you are up.

My turn. You guys don't play

Mm-hmm.

a lot. You sure play a lot.

Ha ha ha.

All right, so I've been doing spooky stuff normally,

because that's, it's the time and I love this holiday.

So did you notice?

Mm.

And I,

Ha ha ha ha ha ha.

yeah.

Well that reminds me,

I was gonna play the Ghostbusters video game for Halloween and I never got around

to starting that. I

Still have time.

Ah.

know it only takes a few hours.

But basically I was like on the hunt for a good Halloween game so started looking

through the sales and as I mentioned last week I found Shadow Man and I was like

I remember Shadow Man I

Yay.

bought it when it first came out and I brought it home and I played

it for a while and I hated it so I brought it back and returned it and I

It definitely takes

some fur first of all, two things that really helped me kind of kind of get into

the game. First is

Uh huh.

it's a Metroidvania. And I didn't know

Okay.

that at the time. When I was playing it back in the you know early 2000s,

I was treating it like a Super Mario RPG,

but you know, dark and scary. But yeah,

there are certain like things once you get them,

you have to go back to

older levels to find more things to unlock.

It's very uh there's a lot of backtracking in it.

That

is so far been my experience of going through and realizing why I didn't like

the game, which is... It's not...

It's very ugly. um And it's also the fact that,

hey, they seem to have a lot going on here,

but they don't think it's necessary to communicate to you which way you should

be going at any given time.

there is no guidance. It is just a big giant open world that doesn't have

anything indicating very clearly which way you need to be going.

um

Okay, so

I'm going to I'm I'm going to interject here.

In the you I

All right.

assume you're playing the the Nightfall studio or yeah the remaster.

Yeah, yeah.

Okay.

Alright. So one thing that they added,

two things that they added that really help.

Number one is a save state. So um the other

Yeah, I noticed that. I figured that one out.

thing is now when you look at the uh the menu that shows

all of the different locations you can warp to.

It will actually like tell you whether you have any what do they call

them, dark souls that you can now collect that you couldn't before.

That helped me immensely in getting to the end of the game,

and that was something that the N sixty four and and you know,

Dreamcast versions didn't have.

ah Well, I I Stopped playing it because

it was I was

Ha ha ha.

playing I ended up dropping in a room with a giant worm guy Who kept killing me over

and over again? ah

that yeah, that's

a that's a tough boss battle. Um if you do

and

want to try playing it again, literally hold the hold the auto fire buttons

and just run around in circles.

Pick up health when you can, but pretty much as long as you just keep running

around in circles and shooting it,

uh

That- I did

that for like 10 minutes and then he killed me again and I was like,

No.

okay,

Jesus Christ, it's not even giving me a power bar.

This is this is why I've been beating more games because I've been playing them

on Steam and I can mod them. I'm like fuck this.

Yes.

I'm just gonna mod it and beat this fucker.

Modding GTA

But...

four has has has really improved the the gameplay on that 'cause now I have

the weapon and radio wheels from GTA five and you know various other

Mm.

quality of life updates and and I've got my custom soundtrack and

Sure.

I love motting.

I get to... Can I keep going? Oh,

great. Because there's the next thing that I've been playing.

It is the... uh So I looked down the rest of the Nintendo Store things and I saw,

oh, Fatal Frame, Maiden of Dark Waters on sale.

uh Let me give that one a shot.

And so far, it's been... It's better than Shadow

Man so far. uh

Only in that I am very clearly guided where I need to go and what I need to do.

But at the same time, it feels like a early PS2 game in so many ways.

ah Just in the structuring and the design and also some things are a little,

you know, it's a J-horror thing.

So, yeah, Japanese horror.

A J horror? What's J Horror? oh,

Do you know what Fatal Frame is?

Like the ring. Yeah,

Do you know what Fatal Frame is?

yeah, yeah. No, I played I I my favorite one's the one on the Wii where

the you the controller is like your cell phone.

That one was really good. That one was super

Mm-hmm.

fun. This one was the one they sort of pooped out on the Wii U and they

eventually sort of modded to go on other consoles.

It does have a

Sure.

motion camera function with the controller,

but I find it's just easier to size it up like with the joysticks because

Sure.

my God, it's basically.

You're just lead from one horrible ghost trying to kill you to the next.

Yeah.

And, uh, there's some pretty fucked up shit in that game.

But then you're playing as this really hot Asian girl.

And I'm like, okay, that's weird.

And then also you're really making this character crawl under things a lot.

Like a lot. It's like at least four times in a level.

She's like, oops, I f***.

I hit a low hanging branch. Let me get on hands and knees and crawl forward

Is is that one of those uh loading loading screen cheats?

and uh, No,

no, no, it's just an obstacle thing.

I nearest I can tell it's rarely obscuring anything

And let me guess she's wearing a skirt.

Yep, everybody's wearing a skirt and then like I get done with it.

I'm like, I got all these points Let me get some supplies for the next uh mission.

It's gonna send me on and it's just like been funny to me because it's

it is turning into a

B horror movie as far as a game goes Just like yeah

Sure.

Let me see what I can buy and I'm going in it's like costumes.

Let's see what we got Bathing suit all of the girls have a

Yeah.

bathing suit. I'm like this is and it

Wha has anybody s

ever studied why the Japanese are so horny?

And then like

I like I don't get it.

they they pixelate everything.

Did I did I ever mention that there's a a dead

Uh any of it's

or alive extreme sequel available on the Switch,

but only in the Japanese eShop?

God, figures.

Yeah, I did at

some point realize that the game does have jiggle physics for their boobies

Ha ha.

And i'm like this is getting who made this koi tecmo.

Oh, okay It is the dead or alive people It's all tracks

It's all tracks.

Ha ha ha.

it's like oh you want a little sexy girl with your horrific suicide based gauntings

Well, here you go. Uh

You know, it's been, it has been fun.

There has been some really funny things that have happened,

such as I realized that the, have a male protagonist in it.

You play as two. Um, when the male protagonist,

uh, the male protagonist does not have his own walking animation set.

It's just the girl animation set,

which is really funny

Hm.

because when they, they are always really slow,

but when they run, they flap their arms around it like this.

It it reminds me of the mods where people put like the Kirby model

on the bayonetta or the the Kirby skin on the bayonetta model.

I just... Yeah,

yeah.

I keep having, yeah, keep having like weird glitchy things that happen to just

make me laugh in this game, which gets seriously serious.

It's like so many points, but then,

uh, my, my, person who was following me got trapped in a room by next

to me and is like, you just see their hands coming through the wall like this

It's just sick. Like clippy through,

with their knees. Yeah, clipping through.

yeah. god.

And I was like, forget it. I'll just go where the game's telling me to.

I get upstairs and like, they start having a two-way dialogue,

even though the girl's still trapped downstairs.

And... And then I turned... And then I...

Could you could you hear both sides of the dialogue,

Gosh.

or was it just one character talking to themselves?

Yes! Yes! It was not spatial. It was not spatial.

They were

just talking like they were right next to me and like turning around.

She's not just here, is she? And then like I walked a little further in and like

I turned around and just...

There she goes, she's like right there.

I guess it's it Hey.

It's got so many glitchy weird things.

It's fun in a stupid B-horror sort of way.

It's taking itself very seriously,

well you can see. They didn't put all the resources into making this very good.

uh But I've been having fun with that.

That's been the main horror game I've been playing.

Just cause it does get

Yeah.

intense when the combat kicks in.

The, I like the camera as a weapon aspect,

uh, to take

Mm-hmm.

down ghosts and it, it's slowly unlocking like different things I can do,

different lenses for the camera.

it's always just funny because everyone's like,

gee, I wonder where this guy went.

Oh, he went to the suicide mountain.

Everybody dies at the suicide mountain.

Well... Let me try this camera that I've never heard of before but according

to legend everyone dies when they have it.

Let's just double down and go to Suicide Mountain that way.

And...

This sounds like uh a Japanese ass Japanese game.

Ha ha.

Let's yeah, for sure.

It is... it

is very much so, but... Hey,

if you want to blow 30 bucks and have a goofy dumb time,

sure. It's... it's pretty good.

I...

I've been having fun with it. It's just so corny.

Hey, if it shows up on

some like bundle, you knew I'll buy it.

It's I imagine this is something that will go on sale for seven bucks on Seam at some

point. I'm honestly I think I paid too much at 30.

But.

Well,

what what is that like the spooky game you've been playing then in the moment?

That's the spooky

game I've been playing right now.

It's it's I mean, it's effective.

There's ghosts everywhere It's like Pokemon snap,

but the but the Pokemon want to kill you

Ha ha ha.

and It's it it's

I heard I heard about this game,

but I never actually experienced it though.

So I don't know. You're making me kind of Fatal Frame

Curious, but I don't know.

It's kind of you know, you have to have a I mean like cheesy walk around a corner.

There's a ghost take a picture quick Okay,

cool. I got some points. All right,

let's move her. This one's trying to kill me And just take pictures

Yeah.

take pictures back up back up try to angle it so you get all the floating heads

around them get It's really simple.

The re the the real question is have you tried the have you tried

Mm.

It's really basic but the game is going ah

the Wii U version?

I have not

Tried the Wii U version. I was excited for it.

Then the reviews were really bad Now I see

Mm-hmm.

that that was not like that was that it was bad,

but it's okay I can play it now

The uh I might

have to try it on my Thor on like a Wii U emulator.

Maybe j th maybe that's the way to experience it.

Maybe that's it if you can I it's just you know,

it's a it's a b-movie video horror game.

It's It's got like a lot of juan ring stuff going on for it.

Mm-hmm.

So

it's You know, it's fun stuff.

I like that stuff It's it is genuinely spooky and the ghost designs are creepy

as fuck. But uh It's it's a good game.

And that's all i've been doing

Other than Halloween set up and watching horror movies.

D you didn't three D print any Halloween stuff this year?

Not this year,

I'm

not this year. I've been too busy.

I have enough 3D printed things for all the stuff I want to do.

I still have the glow in the dark 3D eye-

3D printed eyes on magnets in front of my windows with a black light

Mm, mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

on them so they all glow and then I have the ghosts and I'm satisfied

Sure.

with my 3D printing what I have right now.

uh Now I'm just-

picking up uh on sale Halloween stuff to add in.

That's definitely a thing. Yeah.

mean, like, right

now the scaling up seems to be more blacklight sensitive things,

more. I need everything

Mm.

to glow spooky and...

The

real Halloween um exercise is on November first when you go to the Halloween aisle

and everything is fifty percent off.

It's that's that I gotta go to spirit of Halloween on a on the first of November

just to see if I can continue

Yep. I've haven't

adding how like a Ghostbuster costume together at a reasonable price.

Mm-hmm.

uh

I haven't

that's that's how I got my most of my Ghostbuster stuff was spirit Halloween

That's how I got my

sales.

yeah, that's how I got my my

Mm-hmm.

pack even though Justin told me it's a little pack Which is which makes me sad

ah

Yeah. Walking around next to

me you'll just look like you're wearing a little kid's costume.

You

Instead it was for adults

all right.

on the package. uh

It is.

But it's eighty percent a or it's

I I uh

twenty percent smaller than the like regular full size one,

so

I would be a Ghostbuster with you,

but he was only in one of so that's just yeah,

I can't do it. Um okay, um I do want to show this though.

I got it on Shop Goodwill 'cause Brandon's a bastard.

I just

You son of a bitch you got it.

Ah, I've always wanted a real raw

I I've I've got a Rob and a

It's not complete though.

Famicom robot. Neither of them work and neither of them cost me very much,

but they make but they look really

It's

cool on the shelf.

it it's not complete. It only has like one of these things.

I think you can have like four of them.

I don't know if it came with four.

Yeah, you, it

has four. Four.

Honestly, if you're

uh if you're looking for a Rob or accessories,

um look for the Famicom robot,

you know, the Japanese version,

because um those sold like crap in Japan and they have

Mm.

tons of Like mine came with the box,

the instructions, all of the accessories and everything,

and it was uh God, I wanna say no more than a hundred.

Yeah, I mean, I'm

I I might have to uh go look at that.

pretty sure every other if you have the motor,

that's the only thing that really I'm pretty sure everything else is just

plastic that goes into buttons underneath.

Well you also have to have one

of the games that it'll work with and a CRT that that will respond with it.

true, we can't even read what's going on.

Mm.

Yeah, I forgot about

Yeah.

that.

Oh,

I didn't think about that. No,

I well that was my next thing.

I was gonna after

To me, Rob's just a

decoration. There's no way in hell I'm ever going to set it up.

Exactly.

No,

no, I'm definitely gonna play on this thing.

my my Rob and my Super Scope are just

for sh are just for show.

Must pay quite a bit.

No, hell no. I'm gonna boot I'm gonna spend

a lot of money and I'm gonna boot it up for five whole fucking minutes before

I put it on a shelf. Thank you very much.

I feel like you could 3D print a

lot of its parts. That's all I'm saying.

Uhhh...

Yeah, yeah, th

definitely. I don't think I can three D print like the leg part,

like so I'm gonna have to find like those.

Like like this

Like this thing, right? I don't think I can 3D print this.

Maybe I could.

Isn't that the spot?

Is that the top spinner? uh

Um

yeah, i it's got batteries, so I think it does fucking something.

Yeah, that's the top

spinner. That's the top spinner part.

ah

Yeah, and it

and I think it there can be four of them.

and I it only this one only had one.

So

I thought I had like buttons

or something. Uh, I forget. I haven't seen it in person function ever because

Yes.

every person

Oh yeah.

I ever knew had one. They just said it doesn't work and it's not worth playing

with it. And that was, I was like,

whoa, you got one. They're like,

yeah, don't, don't even bother.

And that was, that was my memory of Rob.

But yeah, it was

j just like you though, Brandon,

it was like it's like yeah, I need one of these in my with my adult money,

um, that I shouldn't be spending on

Yeah.

this. But fuck it, it's Rob. Um,

Yeah.

yeah, I I'm gonna do that. And then I need to find Gyromite,

um, because I I gotta I gotta fucking play it.

Um and see how it goes.

You should be able to pull that

off. I don't think that goes for a lot on the market.

No, pretty much

It's fairly plentiful.

Mm no.

any game that requires an accessory that most people don't have only sells for like

a dollar or two.

Yeah,

Yup.

I've I've seen it for pretty cheap.

So that's that'll be an easy one.

But like having the ex the additional ones of these uh I think is gonna be where

I'm gonna have to spend some money.

So stay

Meh.

tuned. Uh and now apparently a CRT.

Um but okay. Um that's it for me.

Is that up for y'all?

Yeah?

Good.

Cool.

One fucking weekend left, motherfuckers,

to go early vote. Um, so go do that.

For fucking real. Go get your trick or treat and then go get your trick or vote.

Um because yeah, that's that's it's literally that's coming.

I already early voted. I already early voted.

Same.

Same. Um, if you knew my

Justin?

b

I have not early voted yet, but um the our the polling location is just right

Tomorrow

down the street, so

Tomorrow

Just get it.

He could do it soon.

Uh

but yeah, go do it. Or early voting is a thing.

And if it's not um your thing to early vote,

well, I guess on election day,

on November second is usually when it is,

right? November one of the November days.

It's Tuesday. Because they can't have it on the

Let's see. let me pull up my fucking calendar.

weekends because they need to have make it difficult for people to work to get into

it.

November

third then. Yeah. So it looks like that is probably gonna be election day in most

areas. That's what it is for me.

I just looked, um, for my area.

So yeah, make sure that you know when your election is.

There's a lot of voting websites to get informed on who to vote for.

That's what I did. I s printed out a sample ballot,

took it with me, and I was in and out in a fucking second.

It was great. Um so yeah.

Yep, easy peasy. People who say

Nice.

Um

they think they're making a statement with not voting,

you just suck. I'm sorry, dude.

Just

Yeah.

suck. It's not even hard.

Yeah, you got gotta take part.

Gotta take part.

Okay. Well that's I think we uh I'm gonna get off this soapbox here and say goodbye,

everybody. Um g have fun trick-or-treating if that's your thing,
