00:00:08,958 --> 00:00:15,647
Hello everybody and welcome to Infendo Radio eight hundred and twenty six.

2
00:00:15,668 --> 00:00:19,152
~ this is the mustache edition of Infendo Radio.

3
00:00:20,835 --> 00:00:23,538
Justin, what w tell me about your stash.

4
00:00:25,552 --> 00:00:28,200
~ I mean yeah.

5
00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:28,776
up with it.

6
00:00:28,776 --> 00:00:29,678
I stunlocked you.

7
00:00:29,678 --> 00:00:31,271
I got got Got

8
00:00:31,271 --> 00:00:31,712
kids.

9
00:00:31,712 --> 00:00:34,558
~ Brandon, how are you doing today?

10
00:00:34,558 --> 00:00:43,750
been ~ taking taking better care of it lately than than I was before, so it might be a
little bit more luxurious.

11
00:00:43,986 --> 00:00:44,993
My beard is coming in

12
00:00:44,993 --> 00:00:46,763
badly still.

13
00:00:46,964 --> 00:00:48,235
I I I have to make sure

14
00:00:48,235 --> 00:00:49,637
that it's that's that

15
00:00:49,637 --> 00:00:53,050
it looks good for retro game con in a week and a half.

16
00:00:53,424 --> 00:00:56,105
Heck yeah, it's comin'.

17
00:00:57,315 --> 00:00:59,966
it sounds like there's gonna be some cool people there too.

18
00:00:59,966 --> 00:01:01,637
I'm extra jealous this time.

19
00:01:01,637 --> 00:01:05,769
~ but maybe we'll talk about that next week.

20
00:01:05,769 --> 00:01:07,914
Well, actually not next week, the week following.

21
00:01:07,914 --> 00:01:08,660
~ because

22
00:01:08,660 --> 00:01:10,020
I haven't even told you guys this.

23
00:01:10,020 --> 00:01:10,957
I'm not gonna be here next week.

24
00:01:10,957 --> 00:01:12,261
I'm going on vacation.

25
00:01:12,261 --> 00:01:14,322
So we're gonna take little

26
00:01:14,322 --> 00:01:19,384
break after this one, ~ Justin, Brandon, and everybody.

27
00:01:19,384 --> 00:01:22,585
But before then, we've got some news to talk about.

28
00:01:23,153 --> 00:01:26,879
There was a firmware update.

29
00:01:26,879 --> 00:01:28,682
~ please tell me about it.

30
00:01:28,682 --> 00:01:32,945
a pretty decent firmware update came to the Switch 2.

31
00:01:32,966 --> 00:01:39,050
Lesser to the Switch 1, but weirdly they go to the same version, which is interesting.

32
00:01:39,050 --> 00:01:40,571
~

33
00:01:40,571 --> 00:01:41,802
23.

34
00:01:41,802 --> 00:01:46,915
~ this added ~ full variable refresh rate support to the dock.

35
00:01:46,915 --> 00:01:54,780
~ which it did not have previously, which basically means it doesn't do screen tearing in
the event that

36
00:01:54,801 --> 00:01:56,892
your game lowers or

37
00:01:56,892 --> 00:02:02,122
changes its ~ refresh rate or its frame speeds.

38
00:02:02,122 --> 00:02:08,274
~ the other thing is a variety of ~ features have been added to game chat.

39
00:02:08,274 --> 00:02:13,690
~ game chats can now sort of stay permanently open.

40
00:02:13,690 --> 00:02:18,842
~ like you can create a group and just jump into that group.

41
00:02:18,842 --> 00:02:19,894
~

42
00:02:19,894 --> 00:02:29,628
~ when when I played online last week, you can change the ~ screen layout without having
to go into the settings menu.

43
00:02:29,628 --> 00:02:32,279
It's like right there in the main menu.

44
00:02:32,820 --> 00:02:36,201
That is that is fantastic.

45
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:39,728
You just hit the game chat button and now it's an option.

46
00:02:39,728 --> 00:02:40,289
It's just

47
00:02:40,289 --> 00:02:40,827
there.

48
00:02:40,827 --> 00:02:42,287
That's smart.

49
00:02:42,287 --> 00:02:43,603
That is smart.

50
00:02:43,603 --> 00:02:45,516
that is it about fucking time.

51
00:02:45,516 --> 00:02:48,049
Jesus, everyone hated that.

52
00:02:48,049 --> 00:02:49,003
Default.

53
00:02:49,003 --> 00:02:56,469
option to leave the camera on when you have it at full screen, but ~ it seems as though
every

54
00:02:56,469 --> 00:03:02,725
time I set the the game at full screen my camera shuts off.

55
00:03:02,725 --> 00:03:06,060
It must have something to do with a ~ bottleneck or something.

56
00:03:06,060 --> 00:03:11,567
~ Can't quite do both the things at the same time.

57
00:03:11,567 --> 00:03:14,251
~ Who knows?

58
00:03:14,251 --> 00:03:16,313
Maybe they'll update that, but

59
00:03:16,313 --> 00:03:18,235
I think it works

60
00:03:18,395 --> 00:03:20,998
for like when we play I don't know.

61
00:03:20,998 --> 00:03:31,157
I'll have to play with it some more, but hey, speaking of which those cameras are on sale
if either of you want to get one so we can video game

62
00:03:31,157 --> 00:03:31,947
chat.

63
00:03:31,947 --> 00:03:37,723
The official Nintendo camera is on sale as part of the ~ appreciation.

64
00:03:38,419 --> 00:03:38,829
Yeah.

65
00:03:38,829 --> 00:03:39,763
one of the cameras.

66
00:03:39,763 --> 00:03:41,419
It's not the official one but I've

67
00:03:41,419 --> 00:03:43,856
~ I I just never use it.

68
00:03:43,856 --> 00:03:44,297
I ja

69
00:03:44,297 --> 00:03:50,842
yeah, I don't feel like I have an advantageous position to put a camera in my
entertainment center.

70
00:03:51,133 --> 00:03:52,103
See w all I did

71
00:03:52,103 --> 00:03:57,300
was I just put it at the top of the T V and taped it to the back.

72
00:03:57,300 --> 00:04:00,933
So it's ~ where the camera is on a on a laptop.

73
00:04:00,933 --> 00:04:02,915
It's just right at the top and center.

74
00:04:03,182 --> 00:04:04,364
It's i i

75
00:04:04,364 --> 00:04:11,171
th my concern is because it's so far away, that means it's going to crop my face, which'll
just make for really bad video.

76
00:04:11,171 --> 00:04:13,174
I don't like it.

77
00:04:13,174 --> 00:04:13,646
It's

78
00:04:13,646 --> 00:04:14,647
Sure.

79
00:04:15,411 --> 00:04:19,592
What is this bit about the system transfer between switch one and switch two?

80
00:04:19,592 --> 00:04:20,914
I thought that was already a thing.

81
00:04:20,914 --> 00:04:25,904
So I guess they added now you could actually do a transfer tweet switch to it switch to.

82
00:04:26,968 --> 00:04:29,773
I guess that wasn't really a thing.

83
00:04:29,787 --> 00:04:35,936
yeah, now that the Zelda one's coming out, they know people like Steve are going to be
buying another one and transferring

84
00:04:35,936 --> 00:04:36,937
their stuff.

85
00:04:36,996 --> 00:04:47,310
Also ~ an interesting way to you can manage who which c of your consoles on your plan has
access to what virtual game cards, apparently.

86
00:04:47,350 --> 00:04:48,001
There's

87
00:04:48,001 --> 00:04:50,282
more in depth management in regards to that.

88
00:04:50,282 --> 00:04:52,793
~ so yeah,

89
00:04:52,793 --> 00:04:56,256
actually surprisingly substantial for a Switch update.

90
00:04:56,256 --> 00:04:58,187
through this this list.

91
00:04:58,187 --> 00:05:05,861
~ it seems pretty beefy actually, updates to the me editor even, ~ some some stuff

92
00:05:05,861 --> 00:05:06,232
there's

93
00:05:06,232 --> 00:05:09,717
there was something about music which I wasn't clear on.

94
00:05:09,717 --> 00:05:11,448
Can you set a theme for

95
00:05:11,448 --> 00:05:14,686
change or stop the music using the

96
00:05:14,686 --> 00:05:17,686
music settings in the upper corner of the screen

97
00:05:17,686 --> 00:05:19,362
when editing a me.

98
00:05:19,362 --> 00:05:25,040
Okay, so you just turn off the the meme the music of the meme maker.

99
00:05:25,522 --> 00:05:28,741
nice Pointless, but nice.

100
00:05:28,741 --> 00:05:30,538
I wanted it forever.

101
00:05:30,538 --> 00:05:31,458
~

102
00:05:31,458 --> 00:05:32,880
that's that's that's like

103
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:38,550
~ turning off the eShop not not the eShop music, the WeShop music.

104
00:05:38,550 --> 00:05:39,401
~ I don't wanna

105
00:05:39,401 --> 00:05:40,132
turn that off.

106
00:05:40,132 --> 00:05:40,573
That's

107
00:05:40,573 --> 00:05:43,597
half the reason I boot up the Yeah.

108
00:05:45,061 --> 00:05:47,517
Yeah, there there needs to be more music actually.

109
00:05:47,517 --> 00:05:49,191
That that should be the next update.

110
00:05:49,191 --> 00:05:53,799
Every section should have music that you can turn off if you want to, but I never will.

111
00:05:53,799 --> 00:05:55,481
Yeah, it's I I get

112
00:05:55,541 --> 00:05:57,442
by Kotaka.

113
00:05:57,820 --> 00:05:59,031
And I guess now you can

114
00:05:59,031 --> 00:06:01,852
share Mis again with ~ QR codes.

115
00:06:01,852 --> 00:06:07,236
~ I g i n

116
00:06:07,236 --> 00:06:08,250
it was gone.

117
00:06:08,250 --> 00:06:17,152
I mean like this this after the fact making ~ adding Mis to Switch 2 kinda still a little

118
00:06:17,152 --> 00:06:18,102
weird.

119
00:06:18,114 --> 00:06:25,789
meh well it whatever makes it slightly easier i for Tamodachi Life, I guess.

120
00:06:25,904 --> 00:06:27,835
I want more bees back anyway.

121
00:06:27,835 --> 00:06:29,439
I don't know why they ever took that out.

122
00:06:29,439 --> 00:06:32,853
That should have never been a feature that went anywhere.

123
00:06:32,853 --> 00:06:35,445
everyone should have kept their avatars forever.

124
00:06:35,445 --> 00:06:39,247
In fact I love what they have I

125
00:06:39,247 --> 00:06:52,154
I I love that they have like through ~ you know the more recent games they have expanded
the features of the me and now you can add ears and you have like different,

126
00:06:52,154 --> 00:06:53,875
you know, new facial features.

127
00:06:53,875 --> 00:06:58,577
It's like yeah, I like that I'm glad that they're bringing it back.

128
00:06:59,110 --> 00:07:00,276
It's it was very

129
00:07:00,276 --> 00:07:01,231
missed.

130
00:07:01,668 --> 00:07:02,906
Yeah, definitely.

131
00:07:02,906 --> 00:07:07,513
I like this one only for like the three people that why this would matter.

132
00:07:07,513 --> 00:07:09,306
But this I've run into this before.

133
00:07:09,306 --> 00:07:19,915
~ it says you can now use other controllers while handheld boost with handheld boost mode
while JoyCon two controllers are attached to the system.

134
00:07:19,915 --> 00:07:24,309
'Cause I tried to like play a game in ~

135
00:07:24,405 --> 00:07:31,701
a a game that y has to be in handheld mode, with another controller before, and it just
doesn't let you do that, So yeah, that's

136
00:07:31,701 --> 00:07:31,972
neat.

137
00:07:31,972 --> 00:07:38,918
~ I I don't know I can't rem recall which game that was now at the top of my head.

138
00:07:38,918 --> 00:07:44,662
It was maybe it was like maybe it was Metroid trying to use like the the mouse controls.

139
00:07:44,662 --> 00:07:45,003
I don't know.

140
00:07:45,003 --> 00:07:45,703
I can't remember.

141
00:07:45,703 --> 00:07:49,036
~ anyways, ~ what else?

142
00:07:49,036 --> 00:07:52,680
Anything else that's jumping out to you on this system update?

143
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:56,024
that seems to be most of the major points here.

144
00:07:56,058 --> 00:07:57,292
~

145
00:07:57,841 --> 00:08:01,322
Well then let's move into the next bit.

146
00:08:01,703 --> 00:08:05,344
We are going to be talking about a birthday.

147
00:08:05,344 --> 00:08:06,424
Happy, happy birthday.

148
00:08:06,424 --> 00:08:08,205
I don't know the song.

149
00:08:08,205 --> 00:08:13,161
But ~ N Nintendo's birthday was Yeah, exactly.

150
00:08:13,161 --> 00:08:19,069
N Nintendo's birthday is tomorrow if you're listening to us live on September

151
00:08:19,939 --> 00:08:24,582
Actually it's a day ahead in Japan, so it's right now.

152
00:08:24,618 --> 00:08:31,325
So have a Wow.

153
00:08:31,325 --> 00:08:32,536
137 years.

154
00:08:32,536 --> 00:08:35,961
~ founded in eighteen eighty nine.

155
00:08:35,961 --> 00:08:36,649
~

156
00:08:36,649 --> 00:08:38,310
they were like a toy company first, right?

157
00:08:38,310 --> 00:08:41,529
They did like hand like cards and yeah, yeah.

158
00:08:41,529 --> 00:08:41,980
Yeah, they

159
00:08:41,980 --> 00:08:54,746
did cards for a few for a few decades and then they got into toys and then of course there
were the love hotels and all those other weird weird things they did in the

160
00:08:54,746 --> 00:08:56,409
early twentieth century.

161
00:08:56,739 --> 00:08:58,190
But yeah, I've actually getting

162
00:08:58,190 --> 00:09:05,667
two games and the games thing, that's seventies, so Congratulations, Nintendo.

163
00:09:05,667 --> 00:09:07,008
You're still here.

164
00:09:07,909 --> 00:09:09,350
A hundred and thirty seven

165
00:09:09,350 --> 00:09:10,521
years young.

166
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:21,075
It's ~ very telling that a company that, you know, st started in the eighties as far as in
the video game industry.

167
00:09:21,075 --> 00:09:29,550
No earlier, I guess, if you count arcade, but ~ you know, they've been around for a long
time and there's just not a lot of companies like that that have been around that long

168
00:09:29,550 --> 00:09:29,990
anymore.

169
00:09:29,990 --> 00:09:31,738
It not in this space, you know.

170
00:09:31,738 --> 00:09:34,128
with pog consoles, so

171
00:09:34,128 --> 00:09:34,947
Yeah.

172
00:09:35,392 --> 00:09:38,495
that's they they were there for a while.

173
00:09:38,666 --> 00:09:42,361
~ good good on that.

174
00:09:42,361 --> 00:09:42,671
I

175
00:09:42,671 --> 00:09:45,114
just figured I'd throw that in because it's slow no day.

176
00:09:45,114 --> 00:09:46,269
But anyway,

177
00:09:46,269 --> 00:09:49,606
Yeah, that's that's big news for a Nintendo podcast,

178
00:09:49,606 --> 00:09:50,268
I would say.

179
00:09:50,268 --> 00:09:51,490
relevant to our podcast.

180
00:09:51,490 --> 00:09:54,973
Even I mean like 137's like a weird milestone, but

181
00:09:54,973 --> 00:09:55,437
Mm-hmm.

182
00:09:55,437 --> 00:09:56,339
you know,

183
00:09:56,339 --> 00:09:58,386
~ good good on you, man.

184
00:09:58,386 --> 00:09:59,310
seven.

185
00:09:59,945 --> 00:10:02,288
A hundred thirty seven

186
00:10:04,201 --> 00:10:05,462
~ okay, well

187
00:10:05,462 --> 00:10:21,256
then there is one last news article on the ~ docket, but I want to bring one other news ~
article that I found just now.

188
00:10:21,417 --> 00:10:25,200
did you guys know about this little game called Eternal Darkness?

189
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:26,921
~

190
00:10:27,062 --> 00:10:29,043
apparently it might be coming back.

191
00:10:29,043 --> 00:10:31,415
~ I'm just posting it in the chat.

192
00:10:31,514 --> 00:10:33,814
~ I I'm reading this IGN article.

193
00:10:33,814 --> 00:10:36,858
It's not definitive, yeah.

194
00:10:36,858 --> 00:10:39,530
IGN is like at least

195
00:10:39,530 --> 00:10:46,853
Studio is doing it, then I am even more excited than I was when you when I just heard you
say Eternal Darkness.

196
00:10:46,853 --> 00:10:48,644
Because Night Dive does

197
00:10:48,644 --> 00:10:51,095
some pretty awesome remasters.

198
00:10:51,095 --> 00:10:54,716
They did the Shadow Man one, the Turok ones.

199
00:10:54,937 --> 00:11:01,079
~ yeah, if Night Dive's if this is real, then I am excited.

200
00:11:01,079 --> 00:11:04,869
The only issue I have is

201
00:11:06,249 --> 00:11:11,808
How many of the fourth wall breaking insanity effects will still

202
00:11:11,808 --> 00:11:14,471
be relevant?

203
00:11:17,877 --> 00:11:18,390
Right.

204
00:11:18,390 --> 00:11:20,322
some like the input changed

205
00:11:20,322 --> 00:11:21,925
or something like that, you know?

206
00:11:21,925 --> 00:11:22,846
And then you're like, what the fuck?

207
00:11:22,846 --> 00:11:25,750
Why did it change the HDMI one or something like that?

208
00:11:25,750 --> 00:11:28,168
You know, and they they it can do some cool stuff.

209
00:11:28,168 --> 00:11:32,007
They can do some little things like that, just updates.

210
00:11:32,550 --> 00:11:33,392
That's have

211
00:11:33,392 --> 00:11:35,416
the audio level go up.

212
00:11:36,743 --> 00:11:36,853
what

213
00:11:36,853 --> 00:11:49,202
would be really neat actually is if somehow they were able to ~ determine well this person
is on the switch or like on the Xbox and then it like this like you I didn't push the home

214
00:11:49,202 --> 00:11:50,803
button, I'm on like the Switch home menu.

215
00:11:50,803 --> 00:11:52,754
It's like, no, actually I'm still in the game.

216
00:11:52,754 --> 00:11:53,465
You know, things like that.

217
00:11:53,465 --> 00:11:55,766
They're they're if they if this is real,

218
00:11:55,766 --> 00:11:58,868
I wanna be on the pro the creative team.

219
00:11:59,209 --> 00:11:59,954
Yeah.

220
00:11:59,954 --> 00:12:05,226
Night Dive is they also add ~ save states to ~ to

221
00:12:05,226 --> 00:12:05,897
the games.

222
00:12:05,897 --> 00:12:08,558
So I've never beaten Eternal Darkness.

223
00:12:08,558 --> 00:12:19,782
So it would because I got to a certain point where I just I was dying before I was
finishing the level and then I just put it down and never touched it for years, so

224
00:12:19,820 --> 00:12:21,455
difficult that game,

225
00:12:22,043 --> 00:12:22,913
Yeah.

226
00:12:23,755 --> 00:12:24,835
Yeah, it definitely is hard.

227
00:12:24,835 --> 00:12:26,467
I I I picked it up on the Thor.

228
00:12:26,467 --> 00:12:28,699
That was actually one of the first things I played.

229
00:12:28,699 --> 00:12:39,087
And then I realized pretty early on that I was like, damn, like I'm either gonna need to
use cheats or just like grunt my way through this because it's pretty brutal.

230
00:12:39,087 --> 00:12:40,048
It's it's a tough game.

231
00:12:40,048 --> 00:12:42,350
~

232
00:12:42,350 --> 00:12:43,010
okay.

233
00:12:43,010 --> 00:12:48,335
Well, I'm glad we got to talk about that a little bit because I love me some internal
darkness and I hope that it comes back.

234
00:12:48,335 --> 00:12:49,676
Boy, do I hope it comes back.

235
00:12:49,676 --> 00:12:51,237
~

236
00:12:51,528 --> 00:12:54,609
But let's get on to a little bit more shitty news, I guess.

237
00:12:54,609 --> 00:12:55,339
Fuck.

238
00:12:55,339 --> 00:12:57,220
what the hell is with this game industry?

239
00:12:57,220 --> 00:12:59,341
~ more layoffs.

240
00:12:59,381 --> 00:13:01,662
~ Xbox is laying off.

241
00:13:01,662 --> 00:13:03,392
It looks like a bunch of studios.

242
00:13:03,392 --> 00:13:06,304
~ rumor has it that ~

243
00:13:06,304 --> 00:13:09,345
that like the Halo studio, I can't remember their name.

244
00:13:09,345 --> 00:13:13,536
there a lot of people there are getting laid off and that like apparently Halo's gonna be

245
00:13:13,536 --> 00:13:15,687
developed thank you, three four, three.

246
00:13:15,687 --> 00:13:18,088
Halo's probably gonna be developed by Activision now.

247
00:13:18,088 --> 00:13:19,208
Like what I don't know.

248
00:13:19,208 --> 00:13:20,019
What do you guys make of this?

249
00:13:20,019 --> 00:13:21,219
This is crazy.

250
00:13:21,387 --> 00:13:22,496
I I

251
00:13:22,767 --> 00:13:36,275
really followed the Halo series since the original trilogy ended, so that you know, I
don't know whether that's a good thing or a bad thing that that it's changing hands.

252
00:13:36,275 --> 00:13:37,135
I've heard

253
00:13:37,135 --> 00:13:48,932
like the old the old school Halo fans do not like the three four three Studios games, but
I can't imagine Activision's Halo will be any better.

254
00:13:49,607 --> 00:14:02,192
Yeah, I ~ it's it's one of those things at the same time, all I can really imagine is some
guy who's had to work on Modern Warfare games for ~ eight years of his life being handed

255
00:14:02,192 --> 00:14:04,013
Halo and how

256
00:14:04,013 --> 00:14:06,453
happy he would be about that

257
00:14:06,972 --> 00:14:08,595
Well but that

258
00:14:08,595 --> 00:14:16,210
just reminds me of the ~ the Goldeneye remake that, you know, was basically

259
00:14:16,210 --> 00:14:20,044
Call of Duty with with James Bond in it.

260
00:14:20,691 --> 00:14:25,419
The other thing that I really didn't like was Rare has been folded into Activision as
well.

261
00:14:25,419 --> 00:14:27,903
~ wow.

262
00:14:28,185 --> 00:14:29,785
That's not cool.

263
00:14:29,785 --> 00:14:31,266
kind of a

264
00:14:31,707 --> 00:14:35,646
ki kind of a a shell of its former self anyway, so

265
00:14:35,646 --> 00:14:40,223
love how IGN refers to them as the Sea of Thieves developer.

266
00:14:40,223 --> 00:14:41,035
Rare.

267
00:14:41,035 --> 00:14:41,420
And

268
00:14:41,420 --> 00:14:45,853
it's like, ~ yeah, it's been like that, hasn't it?

269
00:14:45,990 --> 00:14:52,583
be because then ~ the same headline on Nintendo Life is Banjo Kazooie Developer.

270
00:14:52,583 --> 00:14:57,175
So like yeah, it's I guess placating to different audiences maybe there.

271
00:14:57,175 --> 00:14:58,916
But ~ yeah.

272
00:15:01,538 --> 00:15:01,968
Yeah,

273
00:15:01,968 --> 00:15:02,998
I it's shitty.

274
00:15:02,998 --> 00:15:07,849
The it it seems really tough to be a vili video game developer these days, you know?

275
00:15:07,849 --> 00:15:08,869
So

276
00:15:08,986 --> 00:15:13,491
for Xbox Microsoft or Sony people apparently.

277
00:15:14,101 --> 00:15:14,585
Mm-hmm.

278
00:15:14,585 --> 00:15:15,634
~

279
00:15:15,634 --> 00:15:19,038
I I hate to I hate to fanboy, but hey.

280
00:15:19,179 --> 00:15:24,606
~ Nintendo's really good about keeping the people who are working for it.

281
00:15:24,606 --> 00:15:26,307
They deserve a little

282
00:15:26,556 --> 00:15:32,485
Yeah, Nintendo has really high employee retention and satisfaction.

283
00:15:34,267 --> 00:15:35,688
Yeah, definitely.

284
00:15:35,688 --> 00:15:39,183
I don't I I don't know if that's changed in the past few years, but

285
00:15:39,183 --> 00:15:39,997
I I

286
00:15:39,997 --> 00:15:45,253
I can only imagine that it's probably remained the same, but yeah.

287
00:15:45,427 --> 00:15:50,892
They're they're a very traditional company, and actually it seems to be working to their
benefit at this point.

288
00:15:50,892 --> 00:15:51,893
So.

289
00:15:52,834 --> 00:15:54,355
Well, did you

290
00:15:55,977 --> 00:16:05,506
I guess while we're still talking about news stuff and we're running a l probably gonna
run a little short today anyways, I'm gonna I I this reminded me of this news article that

291
00:16:05,506 --> 00:16:07,067
I read the other day.

292
00:16:07,067 --> 00:16:14,107
Somebody some active ~ analyst basically said that, hey, yeah, no, Nintendo actually saved

293
00:16:14,107 --> 00:16:23,679
the video game industry in Japan, if it wasn't for the Nintendo Switch that, you know,
mobile phones and perhaps like PC gaming would have overtaken.

294
00:16:23,679 --> 00:16:27,503
But like because of the Nintendo Switch, mm-hmm.

295
00:16:27,852 --> 00:16:33,998
was not selling well in Japan 'cause everybody's gone portable over there.

296
00:16:35,102 --> 00:16:35,535
Yeah.

297
00:16:35,535 --> 00:16:36,947
yeah, exactly.

298
00:16:36,947 --> 00:16:45,806
And yeah, with the advent of the Switch, you know, being, you know, that hybrid handheld
system, I think it really just made sense for that market specifically.

299
00:16:45,806 --> 00:16:51,041
You know, the people that are riding the train, you know, going to work, you know, have
that commute type of thing.

300
00:16:51,041 --> 00:16:51,442
So

301
00:16:51,442 --> 00:16:53,097
limited space,

302
00:16:53,224 --> 00:16:53,494
Yeah,

303
00:16:53,494 --> 00:16:55,145
Nintendo has done a really

304
00:16:55,145 --> 00:17:07,939
good job in the past, I don't know, ten ~ maybe even twenty years of kind of merging the
Japanese and I guess non-Japanese markets.

305
00:17:08,700 --> 00:17:10,230
~ so that so that

306
00:17:10,230 --> 00:17:14,682
their products kind of aligned with with everybody's tastes.

307
00:17:14,682 --> 00:17:19,744
Cause it used to be that, you know, Japan just got very different shit.

308
00:17:20,564 --> 00:17:22,145
And now it's like

309
00:17:22,145 --> 00:17:23,365
everything is

310
00:17:23,553 --> 00:17:25,144
perfectly balanced.

311
00:17:25,893 --> 00:17:27,178
Yeah, totally.

312
00:17:27,178 --> 00:17:35,687
gonna I I'd give Sony a lot of credit for that 'cause it basically showed, Yeah, w these
weird games in Japan can come to America as

313
00:17:35,687 --> 00:17:36,637
well.

314
00:17:36,918 --> 00:17:42,034
And Nintendo was like, maybe we should do some more of those weird games that we have.

315
00:17:42,034 --> 00:17:45,205
And it's funny because now Sony is doing the exact opposite, right?

316
00:17:45,205 --> 00:17:48,567
I feel like Sony is only placating to Western gamers these days.

317
00:17:48,567 --> 00:17:49,778
You know, they'd shut down a bunch

318
00:17:49,778 --> 00:17:51,606
of Japanese studios and everything.

319
00:17:51,606 --> 00:17:54,951
So it's just funny how the how the turns have tabled.

320
00:17:54,951 --> 00:18:00,364
before we ~ switch gears, I just want to read this quote from Dr.

321
00:18:00,364 --> 00:18:07,347
Serkin Tato, I think is how you pronounce that, the CEO of the analytics firm Cantan
Games.

322
00:18:07,347 --> 00:18:10,779
Another thing I probably butchered the pronunciation on.

323
00:18:10,799 --> 00:18:18,356
he said, I would say that if Nintendo produced another flop like the Wii U and if the
Switch wasn't a super hit it turned out to be, the Japanese console market would have

324
00:18:18,356 --> 00:18:21,900
completely would have been completely eliminated.

325
00:18:21,900 --> 00:18:26,124
I think that even more people would have turned to smartphones, maybe even PC.

326
00:18:26,124 --> 00:18:32,229
Nintendo not only completely dominates the console segment here in Japan with 70% market
share.

327
00:18:32,229 --> 00:18:33,410
I didn't know that,

328
00:18:33,620 --> 00:18:36,833
for all gaming content, but also they saved it.

329
00:18:39,367 --> 00:18:43,202
Well, as long Yeah.

330
00:18:43,964 --> 00:18:52,436
I ~ I hate to admit it, but yeah, PlayStation has had a pretty major influence.

331
00:18:53,491 --> 00:18:55,797
That's i I feel like the one and two generation.

332
00:18:55,797 --> 00:18:59,666
That's something it all got weird when things went H D.

333
00:19:00,103 --> 00:19:00,999
Mm-hmm.

334
00:19:00,999 --> 00:19:02,043
Mm-hmm.

335
00:19:02,189 --> 00:19:03,546
Yeah, definitely.

336
00:19:03,546 --> 00:19:06,140
would we be without Katamari Domasi?

337
00:19:06,140 --> 00:19:08,347
I know, it's wonderful.

338
00:19:09,475 --> 00:19:11,079
Still brings me joy.

339
00:19:11,434 --> 00:19:16,563
I I I still I I I miss ~ like the pub rapper or the rapper.

340
00:19:16,563 --> 00:19:18,397
Give me some games like that again.

341
00:19:18,397 --> 00:19:20,101
never played that.

342
00:19:20,405 --> 00:19:21,958
That's another game I need to

343
00:19:21,958 --> 00:19:22,942
man, you should play that

344
00:19:22,942 --> 00:19:23,989
on your Thor.

345
00:19:23,989 --> 00:19:24,591
It's perfect

346
00:19:24,591 --> 00:19:25,386
for that.

347
00:19:25,386 --> 00:19:26,127
Mm, good point.

348
00:19:26,127 --> 00:19:29,735
Well, I've got the Superstation One too that I have to

349
00:19:29,735 --> 00:19:34,605
get set up and playing Playstation games, so what?

350
00:19:34,817 --> 00:19:36,150
wait, you don't need a copy.

351
00:19:36,150 --> 00:19:39,778
You can just sort of give it the ISO.

352
00:19:40,087 --> 00:19:40,898
Yeah.

353
00:19:40,978 --> 00:19:43,979
he means yes, he does have a copy that he's gonna emulate legally.

354
00:19:43,979 --> 00:19:45,740
~

355
00:19:45,740 --> 00:19:51,262
okay, well, boys and girls, let's talk about the games that we've been playing.

356
00:19:51,262 --> 00:19:56,725
~ it's another week where I failed to prepare Nintendo's and I'm a shittier human being
because of it.

357
00:19:56,725 --> 00:20:01,256
So we are just gonna talk about what we've been playing and you know what?

358
00:20:01,256 --> 00:20:03,648
I'm gonna go fucking first this week.

359
00:20:03,648 --> 00:20:05,909
~ I've only been playing a few games.

360
00:20:05,909 --> 00:20:07,633
~ I I I

361
00:20:07,633 --> 00:20:14,636
Brandon, I'm sorry, I haven't played as much denson attack, dench attack, whatever however
you're gonna pronounce it, as I would have liked.

362
00:20:15,116 --> 00:20:16,025
Yeah, I

363
00:20:16,025 --> 00:20:20,859
I need to it I need to be in a safe space when I'm playing a game like that.

364
00:20:20,859 --> 00:20:22,199
~

365
00:20:22,199 --> 00:20:29,142
so instead I've been playing my safe game, ~ Sectory, a lot, like just a fucking lot.

366
00:20:29,182 --> 00:20:36,295
~ mostly because I felt like I was abandoning my Thor ever since my Steam Machine came.

367
00:20:36,295 --> 00:20:36,635
Back.

368
00:20:36,635 --> 00:20:40,787
So I I've been busting that out and the the Switch.

369
00:20:41,247 --> 00:20:45,309
~ nothing notable on the Switch, just playing a lot of Mario Kart with the wife.

370
00:20:45,309 --> 00:20:48,911
~ Justin would be happy though, because we've been playing a lot of Mario Kart World.

371
00:20:48,911 --> 00:20:50,832
But yeah, no, mostly Sectori for me.

372
00:20:50,832 --> 00:20:52,471
A lot of that game.

373
00:20:52,471 --> 00:21:02,717
~ outside of Sectori, which has become my new ~ obsession again, typing of the dead is a
really fucking good game, fam.

374
00:21:02,717 --> 00:21:03,517
~

375
00:21:03,518 --> 00:21:04,851
I have the DLC

376
00:21:04,851 --> 00:21:09,213
for it too, because it was like a bundle that I bought a long time ago on a Steam sale or
something.

377
00:21:09,213 --> 00:21:11,357
So that I just have a lot of game there.

378
00:21:11,357 --> 00:21:19,081
my Steam keyboard so that I can boot that up for the Halloween season because I have that
on my Steam library too.

379
00:21:19,081 --> 00:21:19,852
what uh-huh.

380
00:21:19,852 --> 00:21:24,065
finally learn how to touch type, 'cause I still don't touch type.

381
00:21:24,065 --> 00:21:24,588
I'm amazing.

382
00:21:24,588 --> 00:21:30,255
to hook up my Wii U so I can finally play Zombie U because I bought it at Retro GameCon
last year.

383
00:21:31,145 --> 00:21:32,036
yeah, there you go.

384
00:21:32,036 --> 00:21:34,887
Yeah, no, I was I was like, well, this is a zombies.

385
00:21:34,887 --> 00:21:36,628
It's zombie season just about.

386
00:21:36,628 --> 00:21:38,950
And yeah, no, it's really good one of those.

387
00:21:38,950 --> 00:21:39,780
~ this

388
00:21:39,780 --> 00:21:40,604
game.

389
00:21:41,031 --> 00:21:41,671
Yeah.

390
00:21:41,671 --> 00:21:45,253
The story is ~ interesting too, actually.

391
00:21:45,253 --> 00:21:50,576
Like it was ~ I I I wasn't sure what to expect going in.

392
00:21:50,576 --> 00:21:55,339
And it's I would say it's on par with like what ~ like Left for Dead was doing, you know?

393
00:21:55,339 --> 00:22:00,081
Like I don't know if you guys ever played like Left For Dead games, but you know, it's
it's got the

394
00:22:01,284 --> 00:22:02,628
yeah, those games are good.

395
00:22:02,628 --> 00:22:04,644
but it obviously a completely different game.

396
00:22:04,644 --> 00:22:05,970
~ the

397
00:22:05,970 --> 00:22:06,442
I thought

398
00:22:06,442 --> 00:22:10,476
the typing of the dead was just House of the Dead one or two, maybe both.

399
00:22:10,476 --> 00:22:11,166
is, yeah.

400
00:22:11,166 --> 00:22:12,657
I was gonna say it's completely different game.

401
00:22:12,657 --> 00:22:16,230
It's it's like a light gun shooter, but instead of a light gun you have a keyboard.

402
00:22:17,151 --> 00:22:19,303
and yeah

403
00:22:19,303 --> 00:22:20,195
~

404
00:22:20,195 --> 00:22:25,886
edit the they edit the sprites so the guys have keyboards on the front of them who are
running through or the

405
00:22:25,886 --> 00:22:27,551
I'm sorry, the models.

406
00:22:27,551 --> 00:22:29,092
Which is hilarious.

407
00:22:29,092 --> 00:22:33,115
I love that little backpack they got going on for their keyboards.

408
00:22:33,115 --> 00:22:33,598
~

409
00:22:33,598 --> 00:22:45,465
another ~ another spin off from that series where you basically play ~ play the game in a
different way.

410
00:22:45,465 --> 00:22:47,427
I can't remember what it was though.

411
00:22:49,338 --> 00:22:50,171
~ I don't know.

412
00:22:50,171 --> 00:22:53,018
I've I've played I played the House of the Dead games.

413
00:22:53,056 --> 00:22:59,036
House of the Dead Overkill is ~ the most s yeah I

414
00:22:59,036 --> 00:22:59,566
of the Dead

415
00:22:59,566 --> 00:23:08,218
had another spin-off that there was typing of the dead and then there was another one and
I can't remember what the gimmick was, but I could be wrong.

416
00:23:09,378 --> 00:23:10,619
But I love that they do that.

417
00:23:10,619 --> 00:23:11,339
Again,

418
00:23:11,339 --> 00:23:18,781
Sega when when Sega wants to do something ~ different, they go all out.

419
00:23:19,385 --> 00:23:21,246
Yeah, definitely.

420
00:23:21,246 --> 00:23:28,964
Justin, I'm I just did a quick Google search and I don't think this is what you're talking
about, but there's something that's called Zombie Revenge that came out in nineteen ninety

421
00:23:28,964 --> 00:23:38,963
nine and it's an a beat up game that shifts the franchise traditional on rail shooting
style to third person hand to hand combat and shooting.

422
00:23:38,963 --> 00:23:40,023
Never heard of it before.

423
00:23:40,023 --> 00:23:41,124
I might have to check this out.

424
00:23:41,124 --> 00:23:42,087
Seems interesting.

425
00:23:42,087 --> 00:23:46,652
is so many more House of the Dead games than I knew there was.

426
00:23:47,325 --> 00:23:47,814
Yeah.

427
00:23:47,814 --> 00:23:49,035
god, there's

428
00:23:49,035 --> 00:23:50,596
I'm What?

429
00:23:50,877 --> 00:23:52,979
How is there like 20?

430
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:54,001
What the fuck?

431
00:23:54,001 --> 00:23:54,722
Darts

432
00:23:54,722 --> 00:23:56,134
Darts of the Dead?

433
00:23:56,134 --> 00:23:58,397
that's the one I was trying to remember.

434
00:23:58,397 --> 00:24:00,150
They also have Darts of the Dead.

435
00:24:00,150 --> 00:24:02,535
But that's

436
00:24:02,535 --> 00:24:03,440
English of

437
00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:04,484
the dead?

438
00:24:05,701 --> 00:24:07,093
A Japan exclusive

439
00:24:07,093 --> 00:24:08,914
for Nintendo DS

440
00:24:09,696 --> 00:24:10,838
What the fuck?

441
00:24:10,838 --> 00:24:11,619
Okay.

442
00:24:11,619 --> 00:24:12,790
Alright, that's a that

443
00:24:12,790 --> 00:24:15,643
is a rabbit hole I'm not ready for right now.

444
00:24:17,938 --> 00:24:22,621
Well, I I wouldn't at least recommend playing House of the Dead.

445
00:24:22,621 --> 00:24:27,223
If I remember right, I'm I might I'm gonna have to go play House of the Dead Overkill
again.

446
00:24:27,223 --> 00:24:29,584
But I think that some of the characters

447
00:24:29,964 --> 00:24:36,827
Yeah, I think some of the characters like cross between typing and ~ House of the Dead,
which is fun.

448
00:24:37,057 --> 00:24:39,779
but yeah, it's just it's just stupid fun, you know?

449
00:24:39,779 --> 00:24:40,490
Like my

450
00:24:40,490 --> 00:24:41,150
is.

451
00:24:41,150 --> 00:24:44,234
actually was watching and she's like, God, that's an ugly ass zombie.

452
00:24:44,234 --> 00:24:51,393
It was like this big fat, obese girl with ~ you know, like tits that were shooting out
zombies.

453
00:24:51,393 --> 00:24:53,337
Like it was you know, it's zombie.

454
00:24:53,337 --> 00:24:54,279
overkill?

455
00:24:54,279 --> 00:24:55,841
That sounds like overkill.

456
00:24:55,841 --> 00:25:00,187
~ Timing of the Dead has

457
00:25:00,187 --> 00:25:01,188
that too?

458
00:25:02,140 --> 00:25:03,010
Yeah.

459
00:25:03,010 --> 00:25:03,291
Yeah.

460
00:25:03,291 --> 00:25:15,886
I I I'm sure that the again, I haven't played the House of the Dead traditional games ~ in
a hot minute, but I'm sure that the character models and like the stories like kind of

461
00:25:15,886 --> 00:25:17,519
intertwine because like why wouldn't it?

462
00:25:17,519 --> 00:25:21,835
It just makes sense to save, you know, on assets and stuff like that.

463
00:25:21,835 --> 00:25:23,291
~ through and through.

464
00:25:23,291 --> 00:25:23,971
That's what it is.

465
00:25:23,971 --> 00:25:24,283
It's

466
00:25:24,283 --> 00:25:25,153
Yeah.

467
00:25:25,173 --> 00:25:25,794
Yeah.

468
00:25:25,794 --> 00:25:28,714
But it's but it is absolutely fun as hell.

469
00:25:28,714 --> 00:25:33,576
If I was, I remember doing like keyboarding class when I was like 11, 12 years old.

470
00:25:33,576 --> 00:25:39,818
If I had this when I was doing like keyboarding, my god, I would be like typing at 300
words per minute today.

471
00:25:39,818 --> 00:25:40,408
I swear to God.

472
00:25:40,408 --> 00:25:42,719
~ but that's

473
00:25:42,719 --> 00:25:43,439
it.

474
00:25:43,459 --> 00:25:46,550
~ been playing a lot of the a lot of retro games too.

475
00:25:46,550 --> 00:25:50,361
You guys don't care about that, but like a lot of retro games too.

476
00:25:50,617 --> 00:25:52,363
have you been getting into it?

477
00:25:53,051 --> 00:25:57,481
Yeah, the the retro achievements has really helped with that, ~ I have to say.

478
00:25:57,481 --> 00:26:01,307
~ there was a unique one in ~ what was it?

479
00:26:01,307 --> 00:26:02,809
In DuckTales, I think.

480
00:26:02,809 --> 00:26:08,213
I had to like beat ~ one of the levels without not pogoing.

481
00:26:08,213 --> 00:26:11,398
So like I had to pogo like the whole fucking level, you know what I mean?

482
00:26:11,398 --> 00:26:12,255
So it

483
00:26:12,436 --> 00:26:12,756
Yeah.

484
00:26:12,756 --> 00:26:16,459
So there's just some cool stuff, you know, that like you wouldn't do otherwise.

485
00:26:16,459 --> 00:26:17,107
So yeah.

486
00:26:17,107 --> 00:26:18,265
That's fun.

487
00:26:18,462 --> 00:26:19,544
like I unlocked

488
00:26:19,544 --> 00:26:28,920
the achievement in Grand Theft Auto Four for riding from ~ taxi from one end of the map to
the other without skipping.

489
00:26:29,171 --> 00:26:30,157
Mm-hmm.

490
00:26:30,157 --> 00:26:31,619
Yeah, exactly.

491
00:26:31,619 --> 00:26:36,428
So okay, I'm gonna pass up the ton though ~ to whoever wants to take it.

492
00:26:36,428 --> 00:26:40,655
~ Justin, you're closest because ~ well you're closest to the camera.

493
00:26:40,655 --> 00:26:42,477
So why don't you take it?

494
00:26:42,670 --> 00:26:56,995
Alright, ~ now that I actually have good ~ internet, I might actually be able to talk
about the experience I had ~ the previous week with Grand Theft Auto 4.

495
00:26:56,995 --> 00:27:10,200
~ so y'all if first of all, this is why in spite of the fact that, you know, I can do all
these cool fancy mods and hacks and stuff like that, I still hate PC gaming.

496
00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:12,661
~ so I

497
00:27:12,803 --> 00:27:18,313
I brought my Steam Deck to bed and I've got the Ray Neo glasses so that I can play games
in bed.

498
00:27:18,313 --> 00:27:28,953
And I plugged them into my Steam Deck and all of a sudden the resolution of Grand Theft
Auto 4 dropped down to the lowest it can possibly be, and the frame rate dropped down into

499
00:27:28,953 --> 00:27:30,364
the single digits.

500
00:27:30,377 --> 00:27:30,924
Oof.

501
00:27:30,924 --> 00:27:32,285
And I spent

502
00:27:33,981 --> 00:27:45,641
Two days troubleshooting it, finally figured out that I basically had to go into the
desktop mode, find the textures cache folder, and delete it.

503
00:27:45,641 --> 00:27:46,799
Mm-hmm.

504
00:27:46,907 --> 00:27:56,511
Now, why is it that this is a problem on PC games, but you never have this sort of problem
with with console games?

505
00:27:56,511 --> 00:27:58,832
Consoles are practically computers anyway.

506
00:27:58,832 --> 00:28:01,813
Why is it this only happens when you're playing on a PC?

507
00:28:02,501 --> 00:28:03,254
Or Steam Deck

508
00:28:03,254 --> 00:28:04,249
as the case may be.

509
00:28:04,249 --> 00:28:07,458
But ~ anyway, thank thank

510
00:28:07,458 --> 00:28:10,864
games designed to work on any hardware anytime.

511
00:28:11,025 --> 00:28:11,510
So

512
00:28:11,510 --> 00:28:15,413
the second you change the hardware it becomes befuddled.

513
00:28:15,795 --> 00:28:16,645
And

514
00:28:16,645 --> 00:28:17,766
Yeah, so for a

515
00:28:17,766 --> 00:28:29,271
couple of days I couldn't play GTA four because ~ even at the lowest possible resolution,
I was still only getting a frame rate somewhere in the teens.

516
00:28:29,411 --> 00:28:30,982
And then finally figured it out.

517
00:28:30,982 --> 00:28:35,774
I'm back to playing it in twenty five sixty by ten eighty and ~

518
00:28:35,774 --> 00:28:42,030
I'm getting about forty five frames per second, give or take.

519
00:28:42,030 --> 00:28:44,258
three sixty era, that's fine.

520
00:28:44,258 --> 00:28:47,600
hell, it looks it looks better than three sixty.

521
00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:49,010
~ this

522
00:28:49,010 --> 00:28:50,020
the Steam version.

523
00:28:50,020 --> 00:28:59,544
~ I've gone back and played the three sixty version a few times and is very like first of
all it only renders at like five forty P, I think.

524
00:28:59,683 --> 00:29:01,405
And then it's

525
00:29:01,465 --> 00:29:12,724
like everything's kinda it does that ~ thing that Skyward Sword did where things in the
distance kinda look splotchy to so that they don't you know just

526
00:29:12,724 --> 00:29:13,305
detail.

527
00:29:13,305 --> 00:29:14,321
I know that one.

528
00:29:14,321 --> 00:29:25,126
So what's nice is on the on on the Steam Deck, when it's working, ~ like I can have I can
see like clear across the place.

529
00:29:25,126 --> 00:29:30,958
So like when when I'm driving down the highway, I can see the full Liberty City skyline.

530
00:29:30,958 --> 00:29:41,212
It's such a it's such a cool experience, especially playing it ~ like ~ I I said I have
this resolution set to twenty five sixty by ten eighty.

531
00:29:41,212 --> 00:29:43,461
So it's a

532
00:29:43,645 --> 00:29:53,469
1440 ~ screen with 120 hertz refresh rate, but it's in like ~ ultra widescreen.

533
00:29:53,469 --> 00:30:02,453
So it's letterboxed on my TV, but I get like extra ~ I can see more on the sides like you
would with a widescreen

534
00:30:02,453 --> 00:30:03,093
movie.

535
00:30:03,093 --> 00:30:08,846
So it's so it's really cool because you know I can sit close to the TV and it really is
kind of like I'm immersed.

536
00:30:08,846 --> 00:30:11,641
I want to try it on the ~

537
00:30:11,641 --> 00:30:14,045
VR headset one of these nights.

538
00:30:14,588 --> 00:30:15,153
But

539
00:30:15,153 --> 00:30:16,798
Does your ~

540
00:30:16,798 --> 00:30:20,763
are are your glasses are those OLED screens?

541
00:30:20,763 --> 00:30:21,673
Yes.

542
00:30:21,694 --> 00:30:32,103
But the so the way the Ray Neo glasses work is the the screens themselves are OLED and and
HDR compatible.

543
00:30:32,184 --> 00:30:44,014
But what they do is that like the screens are this is this is really good for the people
listening to the podcast, but the screens are like up right up here in the like top part

544
00:30:44,014 --> 00:30:47,467
of the glasses, and then they reflect

545
00:30:47,696 --> 00:30:49,297
Yeah, and then they reflect off

546
00:30:49,297 --> 00:30:52,349
of the lenses like Pepper's Ghost style.

547
00:30:52,349 --> 00:31:06,796
So you still get incredibly good ~ you know, color saturation and contrasts and all that,
but it isn't like the blacks aren't quite completely black because you've got the extra

548
00:31:06,996 --> 00:31:08,597
you know y you

549
00:31:08,597 --> 00:31:16,209
got the extra like reflection issue, but it's still like once you know, you get in the
right

550
00:31:16,209 --> 00:31:20,531
position the right situation and it's amazing.

551
00:31:20,531 --> 00:31:22,889
But the problem is I can't play it in bed.

552
00:31:22,889 --> 00:31:25,073
I can't remember whether I said this on the podcast.

553
00:31:25,073 --> 00:31:28,215
I know I've told it to to a few people in person.

554
00:31:28,215 --> 00:31:39,100
But what ends up happening is because it's you know attached to my face, if I go to look
at something in the corner of the screen, I instinctually move my head.

555
00:31:39,100 --> 00:31:40,541
So I'm laying on my back

556
00:31:40,541 --> 00:31:41,647
in bed

557
00:31:41,647 --> 00:31:50,161
and turning my head and my neck is killing me and it's not giving me a better view, but my
brain cannot process the the difference

558
00:31:50,161 --> 00:31:55,984
between having a screen attached to my face and having it in front of my face.

559
00:31:55,984 --> 00:31:57,345
So I've kind of

560
00:31:57,345 --> 00:32:02,057
~ given up on playing at least Grand Theft Auto in bed.

561
00:32:02,057 --> 00:32:06,371
~ basically anything worth where any 3D game

562
00:32:06,371 --> 00:32:13,844
is ~ a problem because once I have to deal with depth and looking around things, then my
brain gets all mixed up.

563
00:32:14,184 --> 00:32:16,325
~ but

564
00:32:16,365 --> 00:32:21,081
since I got GTA4 working, I have been playing through it pretty steadily.

565
00:32:21,081 --> 00:32:29,991
~ I found out that the save editor that I use actually has a God mode, but it only works
on the initial save.

566
00:32:29,991 --> 00:32:34,193
So you import the save, activate God mode

567
00:32:34,193 --> 00:32:39,978
Booted up on the system, but if you save the game again, it turns off the god mode.

568
00:32:40,399 --> 00:32:41,029
So

569
00:32:41,029 --> 00:32:42,211
Mm, mm.

570
00:32:42,301 --> 00:32:51,591
that's annoying because I'm one of those people who saves like at a safe house after every
mission rather than just bouncing

571
00:32:51,591 --> 00:32:55,775
from mission to mission and letting autosave do do its job.

572
00:32:55,915 --> 00:32:56,856
But

573
00:32:59,545 --> 00:33:00,569
It's it's

574
00:33:00,569 --> 00:33:06,566
a like a way to mod in like save states somehow into that game?

575
00:33:06,566 --> 00:33:08,409
I don't even know if that would be a thing.

576
00:33:08,447 --> 00:33:10,709
~ I've added a bunch of mods to it.

577
00:33:10,709 --> 00:33:14,912
I've got the the weapon wheel like GTA five has.

578
00:33:14,912 --> 00:33:16,764
Actually, it's a weapon wheel and

579
00:33:16,764 --> 00:33:17,955
a radio wheel.

580
00:33:17,955 --> 00:33:18,955
So whereas in

581
00:33:18,955 --> 00:33:23,368
GTA four you had to, you know, change your weapon with the shoulder buttons.

582
00:33:23,368 --> 00:33:29,663
Now I can just hold right on the D-pad and it brings up the weapon wheel and I just select
the one that I want.

583
00:33:29,724 --> 00:33:36,359
~ also I have a mod that re adds all of the songs that were

584
00:33:36,359 --> 00:33:38,586
Deleted because of licensing.

585
00:33:38,993 --> 00:33:40,044
Yeah, you mentioned that.

586
00:33:40,044 --> 00:33:41,276
That's pretty rad.

587
00:33:41,276 --> 00:33:45,553
Kid have you added your own custom songs in too, or do you do you care about that?

588
00:33:45,553 --> 00:33:48,005
decided what songs I'm going to add yet.

589
00:33:48,005 --> 00:33:50,986
~ I want to get a bunch of songs from

590
00:33:50,986 --> 00:33:54,008
old GTA soundtracks and throw them in there.

591
00:33:54,008 --> 00:33:54,928
But

592
00:33:55,309 --> 00:34:06,815
~ but yeah, ~ so ~ GTA 4 on the Steam Deck has been has been convenient and hopefully I
will have finished all three.

593
00:34:06,815 --> 00:34:11,067
I'm playing them in chronological order, so I'm bouncing between the the

594
00:34:11,191 --> 00:34:16,994
right now between two different stories and then eventually I'll have all three stories
and I'm gonna play them through in

595
00:34:16,994 --> 00:34:20,710
chronological like GTA five does, but you have to

596
00:34:20,710 --> 00:34:27,035
load up a different game in order to change characters instead of just, you know, bringing
up a menu.

597
00:34:27,255 --> 00:34:31,601
But but I'm hoping to have that done before

598
00:34:31,601 --> 00:34:33,013
~

599
00:34:33,013 --> 00:34:35,556
I was I was just gonna make a joke, go ahead.

600
00:34:35,671 --> 00:34:40,928
I was just gonna say I'm hoping to have GTA four done before GTA six comes out, but

601
00:34:42,129 --> 00:34:44,271
That's happening ~ you got

602
00:34:44,271 --> 00:34:46,692
yeah, you got weeks now at this point, buddy.

603
00:34:46,692 --> 00:34:48,173
Better get get going.

604
00:34:48,173 --> 00:34:49,894
~

605
00:34:49,915 --> 00:34:53,837
my favorite GTA game is still LA Noir, ~ is the joke I was

606
00:34:53,837 --> 00:34:54,518
about to make.

607
00:34:54,518 --> 00:34:58,010
~ and my real answer is actually

608
00:34:58,010 --> 00:34:59,421
Chinatown Wars.

609
00:34:59,592 --> 00:35:00,553
Yeah, Chinatown

610
00:35:00,553 --> 00:35:16,936
Wars is is amazing and I should I I've been playing that on my ~ on my Thor, but ~ I might
have to look up, you know, what sort of mods and stuff I can add to it.

611
00:35:16,937 --> 00:35:17,237
I

612
00:35:17,237 --> 00:35:24,423
I don't know if there was a PC version, but I know there was like an iPad and a PSP
version, so there's gotta be a version that I can mod.

613
00:35:24,603 --> 00:35:26,655
But yeah, Chinatown Wars was

614
00:35:26,655 --> 00:35:28,174
on the DS version.

615
00:35:28,209 --> 00:35:29,311
Yeah, Chinatown Wars

616
00:35:29,311 --> 00:35:32,297
was easily one of the best GTA games.

617
00:35:32,297 --> 00:35:36,481
Chi I would say Chinatown Wars might be the only GTA game I've beaten.

618
00:35:36,481 --> 00:35:39,069
~ so

619
00:35:39,279 --> 00:35:51,148
It ~ until this past year when I've been going through the definitive editions on Switch,
that probably would have been true for me, 'cause I don't think I ever beat No, I had

620
00:35:51,148 --> 00:35:54,437
beaten GTA four and five previously, but

621
00:35:54,437 --> 00:36:00,073
one mission that ~ really pisses me off and then I just sorta fall off.

622
00:36:00,073 --> 00:36:02,157
~ for most

623
00:36:02,157 --> 00:36:03,595
play one or two?

624
00:36:03,972 --> 00:36:04,712
yeah.

625
00:36:04,712 --> 00:36:05,003
I

626
00:36:05,003 --> 00:36:09,177
I got into GTA on the original PlayStation game.

627
00:36:09,177 --> 00:36:12,832
One I used to play that in college all the time on my Macint

628
00:36:12,832 --> 00:36:15,014
w my Macintosh with Veeam.

629
00:36:15,035 --> 00:36:18,609
I'd plug in my PlayStation controller and just play it.

630
00:36:18,609 --> 00:36:23,806
the original game w the with the ~ London expansion on my

631
00:36:23,806 --> 00:36:24,987
PlayStation.

632
00:36:25,188 --> 00:36:26,555
I blade learned it a little bit.

633
00:36:26,555 --> 00:36:28,419
Not bad, but

634
00:36:28,419 --> 00:36:32,091
a whole lot more other than Grand Theft Auto 4.

635
00:36:32,091 --> 00:36:35,862
I have, I boot up Splatoon Raiders occasionally.

636
00:36:35,862 --> 00:36:47,550
That's a fun little ~ hey, I wanna play a game, but I don't want to get sucked into
anything, because I can play it for an hour if I want, or I can play it for five minutes

637
00:36:47,550 --> 00:36:48,290
if I want.

638
00:36:48,290 --> 00:36:51,282
it's a really flexible game like that.

639
00:36:51,782 --> 00:36:53,643
~ and

640
00:36:53,943 --> 00:36:57,385
I tried applying what I have

641
00:36:58,550 --> 00:37:05,276
~ learned in Splatoon Raiders to Splatoon 3 and I still suck at it.

642
00:37:05,276 --> 00:37:06,748
So I ended up switching

643
00:37:06,748 --> 00:37:07,989
back to the

644
00:37:07,989 --> 00:37:13,363
roller and now I back to just not even bothering fighting anybody.

645
00:37:13,363 --> 00:37:16,106
I just find a place that needs inking and ink it.

646
00:37:16,106 --> 00:37:19,611
Let everybody else deal with the Yeah.

647
00:37:19,611 --> 00:37:20,665
have to necessarily

648
00:37:20,665 --> 00:37:22,210
be a killer, you can be a cover.

649
00:37:22,210 --> 00:37:23,564
~

650
00:37:23,564 --> 00:37:27,548
That's ~ and so I still play Splatoon three like that.

651
00:37:27,548 --> 00:37:37,562
~ I've cashed in some ~ some of those gold tickets so I can get a high level roller and so
I'll boot that up occasionally.

652
00:37:37,562 --> 00:37:39,277
you you should probably get these zappers.

653
00:37:39,277 --> 00:37:42,576
Anytime there's a zapper, they're always overpowered.

654
00:37:42,576 --> 00:37:44,379
They're they're great.

655
00:37:44,379 --> 00:37:44,995
~

656
00:37:44,995 --> 00:37:46,147
I have the zappers.

657
00:37:46,147 --> 00:37:49,109
I know I bought the zappers in Splatoon one and two.

658
00:37:49,109 --> 00:37:51,224
I don't know if I've bought them yet in three.

659
00:37:51,224 --> 00:37:56,739
a good balance between ~ between coverage and also being deadly.

660
00:37:56,739 --> 00:37:58,171
So it's

661
00:37:58,171 --> 00:37:59,242
Yeah.

662
00:37:59,524 --> 00:38:02,810
But again, I'm just not that good at shooters.

663
00:38:03,039 --> 00:38:03,623
Splatoon

664
00:38:03,623 --> 00:38:06,837
Splatoon three meta pff ~

665
00:38:06,837 --> 00:38:09,729
~ and Brandon's gonna be excited.

666
00:38:09,729 --> 00:38:12,307
Guess what game I've started playing again?

667
00:38:12,307 --> 00:38:13,619
my favorite.

668
00:38:13,977 --> 00:38:17,905
No Man's Sky had a a major

669
00:38:17,905 --> 00:38:20,426
update a week or two ago.

670
00:38:21,248 --> 00:38:24,570
so I booted it back up and

671
00:38:24,570 --> 00:38:27,032
~ I f I

672
00:38:27,032 --> 00:38:28,312
finally

673
00:38:28,325 --> 00:38:28,856
Never had to

674
00:38:28,856 --> 00:38:30,238
pay for anything for this game.

675
00:38:30,238 --> 00:38:32,526
It's you just got it and shit.

676
00:38:32,526 --> 00:38:34,291
it's it's like ~ for

677
00:38:34,291 --> 00:38:39,582
how disappointing it may have been when it first came out, there's a lot to do in it now.

678
00:38:39,923 --> 00:38:42,187
~ I final

679
00:38:42,187 --> 00:38:46,180
that they're disappointed with the state of No Man's Sky at this point,

680
00:38:46,414 --> 00:38:55,300
I finally ~ made it to the galactic core, which then like transports you to another
galaxy.

681
00:38:55,300 --> 00:39:03,623
So I've reached another galaxy for the first time in my 200 and I don't know 50 hours or
whatever it is I've been playing it for.

682
00:39:03,623 --> 00:39:05,108
Probably got a nice ship.

683
00:39:05,791 --> 00:39:06,652
~ and

684
00:39:06,652 --> 00:39:18,213
I made the mistake of traveling through the galactic core with all of my, you know,
standard level up equipment and didn't realize that just like when

685
00:39:18,213 --> 00:39:26,029
you first start No Man's Sky, you ~ basically crash land in a new galaxy with all of your
ship broken.

686
00:39:26,110 --> 00:39:28,855
So I had to figure out luckily

687
00:39:28,855 --> 00:39:29,766
bitch.

688
00:39:29,773 --> 00:39:30,914
luckily

689
00:39:31,824 --> 00:39:41,081
When you go to another galaxy, as long as you can build or reach another portal, you can
still warp back to any of the previous places you've gone

690
00:39:41,081 --> 00:39:42,762
in the other galaxy.

691
00:39:42,762 --> 00:39:43,502
So yeah,

692
00:39:43,502 --> 00:39:54,751
I had to backtrack through various different places and get the stuff that I needed to
repair my ship and repair my ~ multi-tools so that I could actually do stuff.

693
00:39:54,751 --> 00:39:59,454
~ but there's like I can't bring my freighter

694
00:39:59,454 --> 00:40:02,157
to the new galaxy because I don't have the right kind of hyperdrive.

695
00:40:02,157 --> 00:40:08,443
So that's my next goal is to is to get a new hyperdrive for the freighter so that that can
travel with me.

696
00:40:08,484 --> 00:40:14,219
~ my ships I don't know if I ever shared what I named my ships.

697
00:40:14,219 --> 00:40:16,792
My my regular starship is

698
00:40:16,792 --> 00:40:18,864
named the Imodium Falcon.

699
00:40:19,825 --> 00:40:20,922
Of course.

700
00:40:21,671 --> 00:40:27,316
And then my freighter is ~ the incontinent starfish destroyer.

701
00:40:27,391 --> 00:40:28,888
So a lot of poop based stuff, huh?

702
00:40:28,888 --> 00:40:30,640
Yeah.

703
00:40:30,640 --> 00:40:31,921
We keep going with the

704
00:40:31,921 --> 00:40:32,539
poop theme.

705
00:40:32,539 --> 00:40:33,363
I I like it.

706
00:40:33,363 --> 00:40:34,844
~

707
00:40:34,844 --> 00:40:36,352
y ~ a I like that.

708
00:40:36,352 --> 00:40:37,152
I like that.

709
00:40:37,152 --> 00:40:42,961
I can't remember what made me think of a Modium Falcon, but I'm like, this is brilliant
and I am doing it.

710
00:40:42,982 --> 00:40:43,643
Yeah.

711
00:40:43,643 --> 00:40:44,661
Ha ha ha.

712
00:40:45,079 --> 00:40:58,670
~ so ~ as that's pretty much those are pretty much the like games I've really been
playing, but I do want to talk about a couple of tangentially game related things.

713
00:40:58,670 --> 00:41:10,178
One I actually forgot to mention last week, and that is the Nitro deck 2 from I can never
remember what the what did it C RKD.

714
00:41:10,299 --> 00:41:14,802
~ and I had the Nitro deck for my original Switch.

715
00:41:15,042 --> 00:41:15,902
And

716
00:41:16,203 --> 00:41:20,465
and I liked it, but I had gotten the one Steve had recommended it to me.

717
00:41:20,465 --> 00:41:24,588
There was one where the joysticks were aligned like

718
00:41:24,588 --> 00:41:26,342
they are on the Wii U.

719
00:41:26,729 --> 00:41:28,490
And I just could not

720
00:41:28,490 --> 00:41:36,235
like as much as I loved that layout, it my my hand like the shape of the thing wasn't
right, and so it kind of cramped my hands.

721
00:41:36,235 --> 00:41:42,394
Luckily with the Nitro deck 2, because the Switch 2 is larger, the Nitro deck.

722
00:41:42,394 --> 00:41:46,663
is larger so it fits incredibly comfortably in my hands.

723
00:41:46,663 --> 00:41:46,997
Ooh.

724
00:41:46,997 --> 00:41:55,241
So this is my and the other thing I don't know if you guys have noticed, I didn't even
realize this when I bought it, but it's in Dreamcast colors.

725
00:41:57,122 --> 00:41:59,424
So ~

726
00:41:59,424 --> 00:42:03,956
I had pre ordered this Yeah, I pre

727
00:42:03,956 --> 00:42:10,780
ordered this ~ quite a while ago so when it arrived in the mail I had completely forgotten
about it, but ~

728
00:42:11,484 --> 00:42:15,963
Yeah, I'm definitely ~ pleased with the Nitro deck two.

729
00:42:15,963 --> 00:42:17,257
~ if you're

730
00:42:17,257 --> 00:42:22,279
does that have additional battery power or ~ no?

731
00:42:22,279 --> 00:42:31,445
the Nitro deck I had for the Switch One not only had power, but it also had like a dock
built into it.

732
00:42:31,485 --> 00:42:33,146
This doesn't have that.

733
00:42:33,146 --> 00:42:37,409
In fact, it's like I can completely disconnect this.

734
00:42:37,409 --> 00:42:44,173
What's really cool is this can be used for the Switch 2 or the original Switch or the OLED
switch.

735
00:42:44,794 --> 00:42:45,895
So like

736
00:42:45,895 --> 00:42:50,535
you pop this out and basically

737
00:42:50,535 --> 00:42:52,804
like a it's like a phone thing.

738
00:42:52,804 --> 00:42:53,651
one of the phone

739
00:42:53,651 --> 00:42:57,685
then you just ~ twist this and it tightens it.

740
00:42:57,685 --> 00:42:59,447
And so you tighten it until it's gripping.

741
00:42:59,447 --> 00:43:06,393
And then there's a little thing you can stick on the bottom if you're playing a switch one
that kind of fills in the empty space.

742
00:43:06,915 --> 00:43:07,225
~

743
00:43:07,225 --> 00:43:08,326
or maybe goes on the top.

744
00:43:08,326 --> 00:43:08,748
I can't remember.

745
00:43:08,748 --> 00:43:09,507
I've never tried it.

746
00:43:09,507 --> 00:43:14,142
But ~ yeah, ~ Nitro Deck Two by

747
00:43:14,312 --> 00:43:18,328
C R K D thus far has my recommendation.

748
00:43:18,328 --> 00:43:22,493
I pretty much have not gone back to Joy-Con since I got this thing.

749
00:43:22,493 --> 00:43:28,200
~ it's got you know, it's got the the motion controls, it's got vibration.

750
00:43:28,282 --> 00:43:29,070
Hmm.

751
00:43:29,070 --> 00:43:32,397
like that or do you have to take it out to dock it?

752
00:43:32,397 --> 00:43:37,266
Damn it So close So

753
00:43:37,266 --> 00:43:37,872
close.

754
00:43:37,872 --> 00:43:53,537
it's and honestly, if it didn't if this thing was shaped exactly for switch two instead of
having this thing for switch one or two, it probably would be less inconvenient for taking

755
00:43:53,537 --> 00:43:54,578
it out to dock it.

756
00:43:54,578 --> 00:43:56,218
But since I have to like

757
00:43:56,516 --> 00:44:01,231
unlock this thing and twist it in order to get it out, it is a little bit of a pain.

758
00:44:01,231 --> 00:44:02,983
But not enough of

759
00:44:02,983 --> 00:44:04,735
a pain for me to not recommend it.

760
00:44:04,735 --> 00:44:08,109
Like I said, ~ ever since I got it, I've pretty

761
00:44:08,109 --> 00:44:10,842
much played on this exclusively.

762
00:44:11,697 --> 00:44:21,774
Th this is probably a big ask and I doubt it has it, but does it have the Switch Pro
controller like back buttons or does it have like programmable back buttons?

763
00:44:21,774 --> 00:44:22,856
It does.

764
00:44:23,594 --> 00:44:26,005
It has programmable back buttons.

765
00:44:26,634 --> 00:44:27,012
I

766
00:44:27,012 --> 00:44:27,383
it work with

767
00:44:27,383 --> 00:44:29,017
the switch two like menu?

768
00:44:29,017 --> 00:44:31,311
Like does it think it's a pro controller?

769
00:44:31,878 --> 00:44:33,259
I have not tried it.

770
00:44:33,259 --> 00:44:34,750
So I don't know.

771
00:44:34,750 --> 00:44:36,881
I'm going to say probably not.

772
00:44:36,881 --> 00:44:42,584
There is a CRKD app that you can install that I

773
00:44:42,584 --> 00:44:48,528
know the Nitro deck I had before, you could like sync it up and and make adjustments
there.

774
00:44:48,528 --> 00:44:51,269
I haven't tried that with this one yet.

775
00:44:51,289 --> 00:44:59,509
~ like I said, I've mostly been playing Grand Theft Auto 4 anyway, so I haven't gotten
much use out of this, but ~ if you're looking for something

776
00:44:59,509 --> 00:45:01,500
imagine that it worked that way.

777
00:45:01,500 --> 00:45:02,010
Yeah.

778
00:45:02,010 --> 00:45:02,671
If if

779
00:45:02,671 --> 00:45:11,067
you're looking for something that's a little bit more comfortable, and especially if
you're used to using a Steam Deck or something like that, ~ I would recommend checking

780
00:45:11,067 --> 00:45:18,262
this out because it definitely makes the switch two much more ~ comfortable.

781
00:45:18,262 --> 00:45:28,731
~ yeah, so it has ~ two back buttons on both stems, and then I almost forgot it has extra
shoulder buttons.

782
00:45:28,731 --> 00:45:29,322
So you've got

783
00:45:29,322 --> 00:45:31,985
your regular triggers, you've got your regular bumpers,

784
00:45:31,985 --> 00:45:34,728
and then you've got these additional bumpers.

785
00:45:35,109 --> 00:45:38,543
~ like the ~ the new 3DS had.

786
00:45:38,601 --> 00:45:41,232
Holofact conjo Holofact joysticks, right?

787
00:45:41,597 --> 00:45:42,737
I'm sure they are.

788
00:45:42,737 --> 00:45:47,501
I don't know if I yeah, I like I don't

789
00:45:47,501 --> 00:45:52,639
~ I I don't have that information right in front of me, but I would be surprised if they
weren't.

790
00:45:52,639 --> 00:45:52,998
be.

791
00:45:52,998 --> 00:45:55,054
I I assume it would be.

792
00:45:55,181 --> 00:45:57,806
And I just dropped my switch.

793
00:45:57,806 --> 00:46:00,701
premium ones anymore are s Hall Effect, so yeah.

794
00:46:00,701 --> 00:46:01,181
Yeah.

795
00:46:01,181 --> 00:46:08,274
The only the only other thing that I wanted to talk about, and I actually I I can't really
talk about it.

796
00:46:08,274 --> 00:46:09,824
I can only show it.

797
00:46:10,548 --> 00:46:12,526
sorry podcast listeners.

798
00:46:12,526 --> 00:46:14,287
but ~ I have

799
00:46:14,287 --> 00:46:16,267
been working on this.

800
00:46:16,468 --> 00:46:18,048
This was a

801
00:46:18,060 --> 00:46:19,289
You got that

802
00:46:19,289 --> 00:46:28,921
Yeah, this was actually a Christmas present from my wife, ~ that has just kind of been
sitting waiting for me to have the ambition to put it together.

803
00:46:28,921 --> 00:46:30,363
I started it

804
00:46:30,363 --> 00:46:39,587
last weekend I still have to build Mario obviously but but you can see ~ yeah I was gonna
say it's the Mario and Luigi yeah

805
00:46:39,587 --> 00:46:47,640
it's the Mario and Luigi Lego set the one where like it's it's like the pixel art and
standing

806
00:46:47,640 --> 00:46:52,412
up and when you turn the crank ~ Yoshi's legs and arms

807
00:46:52,412 --> 00:47:00,205
move and I think ~ and his head moves too and I think Mario moves as well but like I said
I haven't gotten around to building him yet.

808
00:47:01,361 --> 00:47:02,222
Mm-hmm.

809
00:47:02,346 --> 00:47:03,632
That's pretty rad, actually.

810
00:47:03,632 --> 00:47:04,465
That's really cool.

811
00:47:04,465 --> 00:47:05,902
And it's pretty sick.

812
00:47:05,902 --> 00:47:08,845
like Yeah, ~ I if

813
00:47:08,845 --> 00:47:10,227
it do the tongue?

814
00:47:12,648 --> 00:47:13,729
Yes!

815
00:47:13,971 --> 00:47:15,534
Now that's what I needed.

816
00:47:15,534 --> 00:47:16,336
God damn it.

817
00:47:16,336 --> 00:47:20,837
Sorry podcast listeners, you gotta come to the YouTube to watch this.

818
00:47:20,837 --> 00:47:21,298
you twist

819
00:47:21,298 --> 00:47:28,240
it the tongue comes out and the mouth opens and I haven't I have since I haven't built
Mario, I had don't know whether he punch

820
00:47:28,240 --> 00:47:30,373
I was like my god does it do

821
00:47:30,572 --> 00:47:38,461
Yeah Yeah, sin since I haven't built Mario yet, I don't know whether Mario punches them in
the back of the head, but ~ I'm eager to find out.

822
00:47:38,461 --> 00:47:39,182
mm.

823
00:47:40,216 --> 00:47:41,575
But so that's my

824
00:47:41,575 --> 00:47:43,797
he did ~ that's funny.

825
00:47:43,797 --> 00:47:44,878
that's my change

826
00:47:44,878 --> 00:47:45,968
to the system.

827
00:47:46,697 --> 00:47:47,357
Right.

828
00:47:47,357 --> 00:47:51,973
~ before I toss it to Brandon, j I this is one thing I didn't put in the news.

829
00:47:51,973 --> 00:48:00,333
But did you guys see the rumor of like I think there was like a patent that came out of a
updated Switch two Joy-Con that is like supposed to have like a wider grip or something

830
00:48:00,333 --> 00:48:01,374
like that?

831
00:48:01,566 --> 00:48:02,505
Hmm.

832
00:48:03,998 --> 00:48:05,696
I maybe I should have put that in the news.

833
00:48:05,696 --> 00:48:06,596
I usu

834
00:48:06,698 --> 00:48:07,259
link that.

835
00:48:07,259 --> 00:48:10,646
I I hadn't seen anything about this so but

836
00:48:10,646 --> 00:48:10,787
it.

837
00:48:10,787 --> 00:48:11,360
I'll link it.

838
00:48:11,360 --> 00:48:19,681
the pro controller is so good that if I'm not playing it handheld, I'm playing it with a
pro controller.

839
00:48:19,681 --> 00:48:21,694
So so yeah,

840
00:48:21,694 --> 00:48:27,089
it like bigger Joy-Con doesn't do much for me unless I'm playing it in bed.

841
00:48:28,303 --> 00:48:30,604
It's i interesting.

842
00:48:30,684 --> 00:48:32,164
Mm-hmm.

843
00:48:32,165 --> 00:48:34,005
And without knowing what this looks

844
00:48:34,005 --> 00:48:36,166
like, I have no idea.

845
00:48:36,727 --> 00:48:37,234
~

846
00:48:37,234 --> 00:48:40,068
Brandon, what have you been playing?

847
00:48:40,068 --> 00:48:41,309
Aww me.

848
00:48:41,309 --> 00:48:46,571
~ I've been playing ~ geez, god, let me get the notes up because I forgot.

849
00:48:46,571 --> 00:48:56,395
~ Human Fall I the first thing I played was with some friends was Human Fall Flat, 'cause
I guess it turned 10th anniversary.

850
00:48:56,868 --> 00:49:00,390
It is a jank ass fucking game, but it's fun.

851
00:49:00,390 --> 00:49:03,591
~ yeah, yeah, no,

852
00:49:03,591 --> 00:49:10,034
like the way that everything works is ~ your left and right trigger are like your arms and

853
00:49:10,095 --> 00:49:17,838
you look at you look at things and you lift things and you manipulate things by looking at
which way you're going.

854
00:49:18,159 --> 00:49:25,663
It's very janky and weird, but it does have good physics and that's kinda where it shines.

855
00:49:25,663 --> 00:49:26,833
~ it's

856
00:49:26,855 --> 00:49:27,395
It was fun.

857
00:49:27,395 --> 00:49:27,896
It was fun.

858
00:49:27,896 --> 00:49:30,708
We did the tenth anniversary, which basically it's kinda nice.

859
00:49:30,708 --> 00:49:42,586
They added a free tenth anniversary ~ update that the new level added is basically a
greatest hits with a documentary built into it, ~ about the making of the game.

860
00:49:42,586 --> 00:49:44,677
So that was pretty cool.

861
00:49:44,677 --> 00:49:46,148
It was kinda fun to go through that.

862
00:49:46,148 --> 00:49:54,754
~ The other thing that I've been doing, ~ and doing more than any other game, ~ is Alan
Wake.

863
00:49:54,835 --> 00:49:55,895
~

864
00:49:56,211 --> 00:49:57,512
Yeah, I know.

865
00:49:58,434 --> 00:50:03,140
Alan Wake won the first one.

866
00:50:03,211 --> 00:50:08,849
I can't even i y Eugene's so shocked he doesn't even have audio anymore.

867
00:50:08,890 --> 00:50:09,767
~ he's

868
00:50:09,767 --> 00:50:12,144
I was gonna say that's a game I haven't heard of in a long time.

869
00:50:12,144 --> 00:50:13,780
Alan Wake w wow.

870
00:50:13,780 --> 00:50:14,296
Wow.

871
00:50:14,296 --> 00:50:19,617
a couple people who are like you should try Alan Wake, you should try Alan Wake, and it
was five dollars.

872
00:50:21,398 --> 00:50:22,328
It was five

873
00:50:22,328 --> 00:50:23,648
dollars on Steam.

874
00:50:23,648 --> 00:50:34,982
~ and it came with all the DLC, and I was like, Alright, I'll give it a try, just because
I heard such good things about Alan Wake 2, and I do want to play Alan Wake 2 at some

875
00:50:34,982 --> 00:50:35,402
point.

876
00:50:35,402 --> 00:50:39,423
~ It's weird, it's

877
00:50:39,707 --> 00:50:41,428
Some people say Lynchian.

878
00:50:41,428 --> 00:50:48,012
I think it's more like a like a a more pretentious Stephen King sort of thing.

879
00:50:48,012 --> 00:50:57,977
Self-insert situation, just sort of author who's a horror writer who goes off to a weird
town where weird stuff is happening.

880
00:50:58,278 --> 00:51:02,700
And ~ honestly it's it feels like a three sixty ass game.

881
00:51:02,700 --> 00:51:04,901
It is very three sixty ass.

882
00:51:05,041 --> 00:51:08,123
if it wasn't for the fact I put in the mods to make it do

883
00:51:08,532 --> 00:51:12,514
~ ultra widescreen, so it does take up the whole monitor.

884
00:51:12,514 --> 00:51:22,280
I had some upgraded textures and ~ and shaders added on there and it looks pretty decent
once I got everything tweaked right.

885
00:51:22,500 --> 00:51:31,785
And just by playing through it, it's it's something that's somewhere between we are not
taking ourselves seriously and we are so far up our ass.

886
00:51:31,785 --> 00:51:35,187
~ it's it it's a little

887
00:51:35,387 --> 00:51:37,107
This is very remedy.

888
00:51:37,107 --> 00:51:45,175
I don't know if anybody's played Control or any other stuff, but ~ Yeah, it's got this
sort

889
00:51:45,175 --> 00:51:49,158
of weird sorta The story takes priority.

890
00:51:49,158 --> 00:51:52,921
The gameplay's admittedly pretty weak.

891
00:51:52,921 --> 00:52:02,709
~ it's for the most part you're running through the woods ~ hitting weird guys with ~ a
flashlight until you can shoot them with a gun.

892
00:52:02,709 --> 00:52:05,271
~ and

893
00:52:05,457 --> 00:52:06,969
It's been pretty entertaining.

894
00:52:06,969 --> 00:52:14,716
the storyline's still pretty fun, stupid, it's it season appropriate hard stuff.

895
00:52:15,527 --> 00:52:18,341
I've I've been pretty entertained.

896
00:52:18,341 --> 00:52:23,606
I'm about I think maybe halfway through it after playing through one weekend.

897
00:52:23,606 --> 00:52:28,525
~ So it it it's at least short.

898
00:52:28,525 --> 00:52:35,576
at the part where ~ you've I don't want to spoil anything, but like have you done any

899
00:52:35,576 --> 00:52:35,897
I'm in

900
00:52:35,897 --> 00:52:39,332
chapter four and ~ the

901
00:52:39,332 --> 00:52:40,457
So you

902
00:52:40,602 --> 00:52:48,751
I just got over to ~ where the Rockstars ha place is and done everything in the Rockstars
place.

903
00:52:48,761 --> 00:52:52,379
you you've already done some of the time jumpy stuff then.

904
00:52:52,563 --> 00:53:00,273
There was a little bit of a time jumpy thing going on, but it's if you consider the fact
you start out going, What's going on?

905
00:53:00,273 --> 00:53:08,753
Then all of a sudden it's a week later and then all of a sudden you're playing in his
house in his apartment for a little bit.

906
00:53:08,899 --> 00:53:09,949
I'm not gonna spoil anything.

907
00:53:09,949 --> 00:53:15,122
You're getting to the part where like I ~ where it really sucked me in for some reason.

908
00:53:15,122 --> 00:53:19,384
I remember when I was playing it back on the Fuck, was this an Xbox three sixty game?

909
00:53:19,384 --> 00:53:20,240
I think it was.

910
00:53:20,240 --> 00:53:23,389
a very hyped Xbox three sixty game.

911
00:53:23,389 --> 00:53:24,675
I think it was a launch

912
00:53:24,675 --> 00:53:27,928
or at least ~ launch year three sixty game.

913
00:53:27,928 --> 00:53:28,728
launch.

914
00:53:28,728 --> 00:53:30,619
I think it was like a three years, but

915
00:53:30,619 --> 00:53:38,092
it was extremely hyped and reportedly have been in like worked on for like ten years at
that point.

916
00:53:38,092 --> 00:53:39,993
~

917
00:53:40,073 --> 00:53:44,755
so they got but I mean like it's it's it plays okay.

918
00:53:44,755 --> 00:53:54,879
It plays alright, but it feels very three sixty of its era where it's a lot of this is
just walking from point A to point B, but

919
00:53:55,099 --> 00:53:55,740
It li

920
00:53:55,740 --> 00:54:01,997
and showing off how much facial animation you can do, which does not look great by today's
standards, but

921
00:54:02,710 --> 00:54:03,511
yeah.

922
00:54:03,511 --> 00:54:07,887
Back when facial animations were were a big thing.

923
00:54:07,934 --> 00:54:13,343
it's a couple snotches below LA Noire as far as that's concerned.

924
00:54:13,343 --> 00:54:15,398
~ they try and I

925
00:54:15,398 --> 00:54:19,623
actually a a a later Xbox game now that I'm looking at it, two thousand ten.

926
00:54:19,623 --> 00:54:20,073
Yeah, I

927
00:54:20,073 --> 00:54:24,765
thought it was like it was one of those things it was hyped for years, and it does still

928
00:54:24,765 --> 00:54:29,346
have ~ some pretty funny product placement going on.

929
00:54:29,346 --> 00:54:33,527
~ all the batteries are, at least I can tell, are still energizers.

930
00:54:33,527 --> 00:54:36,523
Energizers lithium specifically.

931
00:54:36,523 --> 00:54:38,819
~ you you pick up a

932
00:54:38,819 --> 00:54:40,569
lot of thermoses.

933
00:54:40,569 --> 00:54:45,471
~ there was one time it's like there's a thing in the game where you can just like, you
know, they have audio logs.

934
00:54:45,471 --> 00:54:47,311
Very 360 era.

935
00:54:47,840 --> 00:54:54,124
~ but this time they have also TV video logs, which are oftentimes live action.

936
00:54:54,124 --> 00:54:56,516
~ little sketches

937
00:54:56,516 --> 00:54:59,588
they do, which is ~ has been pretty entertaining.

938
00:54:59,588 --> 00:55:02,980
And one day I time I was like walking through, I was like, good, a TV.

939
00:55:02,980 --> 00:55:04,531
Let me see what this one does.

940
00:55:04,531 --> 00:55:04,891
And I

941
00:55:04,891 --> 00:55:08,134
turn it on, and it's a fucking car commercial.

942
00:55:08,134 --> 00:55:10,305
It's just a car commercial.

943
00:55:10,305 --> 00:55:13,630
And yes.

944
00:55:13,630 --> 00:55:16,575
I yeah, I remember f ~ the Ford was

945
00:55:16,575 --> 00:55:23,025
pretty pr there's a scene where you're like driving in a car and I remember there was like
Yeah.

946
00:55:23,025 --> 00:55:23,601
cool

947
00:55:23,601 --> 00:55:29,071
in gaming when ~ actual brand names were getting advertised in games.

948
00:55:29,363 --> 00:55:32,406
there is a lot of Ford vehicles in this game.

949
00:55:32,406 --> 00:55:35,678
~ it is it it

950
00:55:35,896 --> 00:55:36,076
I

951
00:55:36,076 --> 00:55:40,151
think I think cell phone too, wasn't isn't like the cell phone thing at the like

952
00:55:40,151 --> 00:55:43,120
He's just got an OKA he pulls out.

953
00:55:43,120 --> 00:55:47,540
~ Sw Sprint or T Mobile or some brand or something that's called out.

954
00:55:47,540 --> 00:55:54,948
maybe that put the a lot of the stuff has also it's one of those things where updates have
removed some of the things apparently.

955
00:55:55,109 --> 00:55:58,032
So like there's a par I'm a

956
00:55:58,032 --> 00:56:06,391
I'm apparently yeah, there's a there's a point where the David Bowie song plays that
apparently I'm never gonna get to hear, and that's okay, I guess.

957
00:56:06,391 --> 00:56:07,422
It's it's alright.

958
00:56:07,422 --> 00:56:08,421
The music's been fine.

959
00:56:08,421 --> 00:56:10,468
Yeah, d it's only Bowie.

960
00:56:10,717 --> 00:56:13,341
Yeah, it's it's i I I assume ~

961
00:56:13,341 --> 00:56:13,788
you?

962
00:56:13,788 --> 00:56:21,311
knowing the exact track that they have there, I I kind of already have an idea of where
we're going with this.

963
00:56:21,311 --> 00:56:23,042
So I'll probably know

964
00:56:23,042 --> 00:56:25,953
where it i it was supposed to fit as I play.

965
00:56:25,953 --> 00:56:27,734
~

966
00:56:27,914 --> 00:56:31,906
but it's ~ yeah, no, it's been a fun Halloween game.

967
00:56:31,906 --> 00:56:38,938
I'll say it's it it feels like a New Englandy Stephen King shenanigan thing.

968
00:56:38,987 --> 00:56:40,699
~ which

969
00:56:41,728 --> 00:56:49,360
it's very pretentiousy ~ the power of creativity thing going on here.

970
00:56:49,360 --> 00:56:52,123
~ Yes.

971
00:56:53,166 --> 00:56:56,627
No no I am playing the original PC release.

972
00:56:56,627 --> 00:56:57,200
damn,

973
00:56:57,200 --> 00:56:57,578
ha.

974
00:56:57,578 --> 00:56:58,459
God bless you.

975
00:56:58,459 --> 00:56:59,958
~

976
00:56:59,958 --> 00:57:02,322
playing, it's playing, it's playing alright.

977
00:57:02,322 --> 00:57:03,364
I'm going through it.

978
00:57:03,364 --> 00:57:05,197
I'm not hating it.

979
00:57:05,197 --> 00:57:10,085
It's just some of the stuff is a little like, my god, these fights are so repetitive.

980
00:57:10,085 --> 00:57:11,582
~

981
00:57:11,582 --> 00:57:15,003
I should go back and play this now that I've watched Twin Peaks.

982
00:57:15,003 --> 00:57:19,444
I heard that it's got pull some Twin Peaks bullshit.

983
00:57:19,444 --> 00:57:24,426
~ and now that I know what that bullshit is, maybe I would pick up on that on this game.

984
00:57:24,426 --> 00:57:26,837
It's been years since I played this fucking game.

985
00:57:26,837 --> 00:57:32,879
my god, you're like the batter just like the batteries and like having to use your
flashlight as a weapon.

986
00:57:32,879 --> 00:57:34,666
It my god, like yeah.

987
00:57:34,666 --> 00:57:36,858
and bigger flashlights as I go.

988
00:57:36,858 --> 00:57:39,280
~ but of course the part

989
00:57:39,280 --> 00:57:46,688
the thing I really, really hate is the constant reset of everything you collected.

990
00:57:46,688 --> 00:57:52,453
You'll be armed to the teeth and then the chapter ends and pfft, it's all gone.

991
00:57:52,774 --> 00:57:53,524
It's all gone.

992
00:57:53,524 --> 00:57:54,565
You're starting from zero

993
00:57:54,565 --> 00:57:55,076
again.

994
00:57:55,076 --> 00:57:56,257
th

995
00:57:56,743 --> 00:57:57,580
Sure.

996
00:57:57,852 --> 00:58:04,910
Maybe that was a way to keep it so that there's ample gameplay that they can jam in there
as they start the newest run.

997
00:58:04,951 --> 00:58:09,596
Cause I guess you would be insanely overpowered if you just kept everything rolling
through.

998
00:58:09,642 --> 00:58:10,511
~

999
00:58:10,511 --> 00:58:20,433
I found that as a good way for me 'cause I remember that ac specifically actually, 'cause
I'm I'm the type of person who will keep ~ every special ammo and I'll probably have that

1000
00:58:20,433 --> 00:58:22,125
special ammo after I beat the game.

1001
00:58:22,125 --> 00:58:22,926
You know what I mean?

1002
00:58:22,926 --> 00:58:23,707
So

1003
00:58:23,873 --> 00:58:29,778
no, and I had the same realization like if I get the flare gun, I should just use the
flare gun.

1004
00:58:30,579 --> 00:58:37,104
The flare gun's the most powerful weapon, ~ and I for some reason always sleep on it.

1005
00:58:39,087 --> 00:58:40,388
I I prioritized

1006
00:58:40,388 --> 00:58:46,213
the biggest weapons with the most ammo I've collected, and geez.

1007
00:58:46,213 --> 00:58:47,394
It was a

1008
00:58:47,527 --> 00:58:48,357
It was a good one.

1009
00:58:48,357 --> 00:58:51,868
But yeah, and that goes into I'm being more Halloweeny.

1010
00:58:51,868 --> 00:58:53,859
I put up the graveyard stones.

1011
00:58:53,859 --> 00:58:56,100
I put up ~ the skeleton

1012
00:58:56,100 --> 00:59:01,592
in the back garage door garage window that's extra spooky.

1013
00:59:01,592 --> 00:59:08,014
And ~ yeah, no, I've just been decorating make my place look a little spookier every day.

1014
00:59:08,014 --> 00:59:11,415
Next up is gonna be all of the weird spiders.

1015
00:59:11,415 --> 00:59:13,105
I have a lot of those like

1016
00:59:14,184 --> 00:59:20,366
Ball spiders with the long, stretchy, poseable legs which are eventually going to take out
take

1017
00:59:20,366 --> 00:59:21,058
over everything.

1018
00:59:21,058 --> 00:59:22,410
Huh?

1019
00:59:22,782 --> 00:59:25,411
I was going to ask what is a weird spider?

1020
00:59:25,942 --> 00:59:41,929
You'll f if you go over to any Walmart, you'll see ~ It's basically a fuzzy body in two
segments with ~ with like felt covered ~ or fuzz covered like metal sort of bendable rods

1021
00:59:41,929 --> 00:59:45,430
for all the legs, and then like and then ~ two

1022
00:59:45,430 --> 00:59:47,331
reflective eyes.

1023
00:59:47,402 --> 00:59:48,821
~ so

1024
00:59:48,821 --> 00:59:49,732
those are fun.

1025
00:59:49,732 --> 00:59:55,414
Those are fun because they can you can wrap those ~ those legs around something so that
they look like they're

1026
00:59:55,668 --> 00:59:56,508
And

1027
00:59:57,533 --> 00:59:57,603
I

1028
00:59:57,603 --> 01:00:00,864
saw some similar not at Walmart, but when I was at the dollar store.

1029
01:00:00,864 --> 01:00:02,182
I'm sure it's the same thing.

1030
01:00:02,182 --> 01:00:07,466
Yeah, it's gotta be the same thing, but yeah, and d I think and yeah, no.

1031
01:00:07,466 --> 01:00:14,591
I just ~ I've got a lot of strobe lights, black lights, ~ and ~ timed lighting going on
right now.

1032
01:00:14,591 --> 01:00:16,288
So ~

1033
01:00:16,288 --> 01:00:17,414
can see behind you.

1034
01:00:17,414 --> 01:00:18,244
yeah.

1035
01:00:19,429 --> 01:00:20,349
Nice.

1036
01:00:20,390 --> 01:00:23,172
Well that is rather exciting.

1037
01:00:23,172 --> 01:00:28,837
~ it is 'tis the season, not quite October yet, but you know, you gotta gotta get prepped
a little bit beforehand.

1038
01:00:28,837 --> 01:00:33,121
I have been celebrating ~ Halloween throughout September.

1039
01:00:33,121 --> 01:00:37,274
I figure if Christmas can take over two months of the year, so can Halloween.

1040
01:00:37,274 --> 01:00:39,255
Yeah, I kinda taken the taken

1041
01:00:39,255 --> 01:00:50,264
the also there's the thing where you wanna start doing it in mid September because if you
pull out those decorations and once broken and it's mid Octo and it's

1042
01:00:50,264 --> 01:00:58,111
mid October, you got two choices Spirit of Halloween or Spirit of Halloween, 'cause
everything else is Christmas stuff now.

1043
01:00:58,111 --> 01:01:01,899
So it's it

1044
01:01:01,899 --> 01:01:02,369
That is

1045
01:01:02,369 --> 01:01:02,870
so true.

1046
01:01:02,870 --> 01:01:09,438
~ my wife is excited to go watch ~ practical magic to this Halloween season.

1047
01:01:09,438 --> 01:01:11,751
So we're gonna go do that probably.

1048
01:01:11,751 --> 01:01:15,395
The I had never seen the first one before we got together, so I'm kinda excited.

1049
01:01:15,395 --> 01:01:16,905
Kinda kinda excited.

1050
01:01:16,905 --> 01:01:23,978
the first one and my wife doesn't understand why it's so popular, so I might never see it.

1051
01:01:24,517 --> 01:01:25,662
It's on it's on the plex.

1052
01:01:25,662 --> 01:01:27,059
It's on my plex if you want to watch it.

1053
01:01:27,059 --> 01:01:27,971
It's n it's not bad.

1054
01:01:27,971 --> 01:01:29,432
to the craft two?

1055
01:01:29,432 --> 01:01:33,555
Come on, that's I want more of that silly trash.

1056
01:01:33,555 --> 01:01:36,908
Man, that one that that one has ~ the

1057
01:01:36,908 --> 01:01:40,927
dude from the boys, the deep, as like a young child.

1058
01:01:40,927 --> 01:01:43,194
But he's he's like it's like 19

1059
01:01:43,194 --> 01:01:43,898
or 20.

1060
01:01:43,898 --> 01:01:46,603
I think it was ~ god, I forget her name.

1061
01:01:46,603 --> 01:01:51,278
There's someone I had a huge crush on in that movie who's the prominent villain.

1062
01:01:51,278 --> 01:01:53,690
Hmm.

1063
01:01:53,883 --> 01:01:56,074
Well, ~ okay.

1064
01:01:56,734 --> 01:01:58,155
Let's do this

1065
01:01:58,155 --> 01:01:59,615
get out of here thing.

1066
01:01:59,615 --> 01:02:01,176
We didn't have a Nintendo.

1067
01:02:01,176 --> 01:02:07,999
~ we had a lot not a lot of news, but here we are, still making it to the hour mark folks.

1068
01:02:07,999 --> 01:02:12,161
That means that we should probably say fuck ice.

1069
01:02:12,161 --> 01:02:15,942
Also means ~ register vote.

1070
01:02:15,942 --> 01:02:19,344
Like it's really coming up to time, folks.

1071
01:02:19,344 --> 01:02:22,545
~ I I I don't know when yeah.

1072
01:02:22,573 --> 01:02:27,255
I don't know when election day is for everybody, but it's typically ~ first Tuesday of
November.

1073
01:02:27,255 --> 01:02:28,929
So that's coming up fucking quick.

1074
01:02:28,929 --> 01:02:30,549
~ yeah.

1075
01:02:30,549 --> 01:02:33,581
but I know New York's got a governor election coming up.

1076
01:02:33,670 --> 01:02:35,712
Yep, that's gonna be important.

1077
01:02:35,712 --> 01:02:46,763
there's all sorts of stuff going on everywhere, but if people turn up and people are
pissed, ~ I I think it could end up pretty good, fingers crossed.

1078
01:02:46,763 --> 01:02:49,805
~ but, you know, it you

1079
01:02:49,805 --> 01:02:51,327
gotta show up, you gotta vote.

1080
01:02:51,327 --> 01:02:52,588
Come on, people.

1081
01:02:53,969 --> 01:02:54,929
Yeah, definitely.

1082
01:02:54,929 --> 01:02:59,221
