[00:00:06] [SPEAKER_07]: Fucking bogey. [00:00:06] [SPEAKER_06]: I see a Sephiroth on a little nightstand. [00:00:11] Jesus Christ. [00:00:12] [SPEAKER_06]: How high are you? [00:00:13] [SPEAKER_07]: That's fucking dope. [00:00:15] [SPEAKER_07]: Are you medicine up? [00:00:17] [SPEAKER_07]: I'm not high, but I'm on drugs. [00:00:22] [SPEAKER_07]: I'm on drugs. [00:00:24] [SPEAKER_07]: I'm on back pain meds. [00:00:26] [SPEAKER_06]: Oh, my God. [00:00:28] [SPEAKER_06]: What it do, everybody? [00:00:30] [SPEAKER_06]: My name is Aaron. [00:00:31] [SPEAKER_06]: I'm one of the founding members of the Baja Men. [00:00:33] [SPEAKER_07]: And I'm Jerry and I have a Denny's secret menu item named after me. [00:00:37] [SPEAKER_06]: And you're listening to SuperPod Saga. [00:00:48] [SPEAKER_05]: I could hold it for that. Holy shit. [00:00:51] [SPEAKER_06]: What would be in the Denny's secret menu besides [00:00:55] [SPEAKER_06]: that plate of fucking eggs? [00:00:58] [SPEAKER_06]: The Baja Blast Omelette. [00:01:00] [SPEAKER_06]: Oh, OK. [00:01:01] [SPEAKER_07]: It's just an omelet covered in Baja Blast. [00:01:04] [SPEAKER_06]: Oh, whip it with some with some Baja Blast and a little bit of heavy cream. [00:01:09] [SPEAKER_07]: I mean, this is this is kind of a running joke, but I've never had [00:01:12] [SPEAKER_07]: Baja Blast in my life. [00:01:13] [SPEAKER_06]: I don't believe you. [00:01:14] [SPEAKER_07]: And I only had never had a two years ago. [00:01:17] [SPEAKER_07]: And I only had Mountain do the first time in my life [00:01:19] [SPEAKER_07]: like two years ago because Greg forced me. [00:01:22] [SPEAKER_06]: You talk so much shit because I've never seen the ocean. [00:01:25] [SPEAKER_06]: But then you never had a fucking Baja Blast. [00:01:27] [SPEAKER_06]: There's Taco Bells everywhere. [00:01:28] [SPEAKER_06]: You fucking turn a corner. [00:01:29] [SPEAKER_06]: They turn on this. [00:01:31] [SPEAKER_06]: They shut our Taco Bell down. [00:01:32] [SPEAKER_07]: Go to our Taco Bell in town. [00:01:33] [SPEAKER_07]: Got shut down. [00:01:34] [SPEAKER_07]: Now, just a regular ass KFC. [00:01:38] [SPEAKER_07]: They swapped it out for a KFC. [00:01:40] [SPEAKER_07]: It was always there. [00:01:41] [SPEAKER_07]: It was part of KFC. [00:01:43] [SPEAKER_07]: It was like a fucking symbiote to the fusion. [00:01:45] [SPEAKER_07]: The chicken fusion. [00:01:47] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, those cells are. [00:01:48] [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, KFC and Taco Bell put the fusion earrings on and they were like, ha! [00:01:51] [SPEAKER_06]: Like it's a new card.

[00:03:16] [SPEAKER_07]: I think we're talking about some obscure RPGs. [00:03:20] [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah. [00:03:20] [SPEAKER_07]: And so by definition, I think this means not like a hidden gem per se, [00:03:27] [SPEAKER_07]: but just RPGs that are kind of like maybe, maybe like maybe you haven't really heard of them. [00:03:32] [SPEAKER_07]: Maybe a half. [00:03:33] [SPEAKER_07]: Maybe it's an RPG that's like not really forgotten. [00:03:37] [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, that's a good one. [00:03:39] [SPEAKER_07]: Forgotten RPGs. [00:03:39] [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, it's just kind of like looked overlooked, I guess. [00:03:44] [SPEAKER_07]: And maybe maybe a little bit of weirdness in there. [00:03:47] [SPEAKER_07]: Maybe it's not what you would consider a conventional RPG. [00:03:50] [SPEAKER_04]: Like a cult classic kind of something like that. [00:03:53] [SPEAKER_07]: I would dare say a cult classic. [00:03:55] [SPEAKER_02]: I love cults. [00:03:57] [SPEAKER_02]: Can it be a classic if it's obscure, though? [00:03:59] [SPEAKER_02]: Like is it obscure? [00:04:00] [SPEAKER_02]: The definition be like it. [00:04:01] [SPEAKER_02]: Well, this is the thing. [00:04:02] [SPEAKER_07]: You don't really know about it. [00:04:03] [SPEAKER_07]: Exactly. [00:04:04] [SPEAKER_07]: This was kind of the thing that I was struggling with when I was thinking about this [00:04:07] [SPEAKER_07]: because I was like, is Undertale an obscure RPG? [00:04:12] [SPEAKER_07]: No, no, no. [00:04:13] [SPEAKER_07]: Everybody knows what Undertale is. [00:04:15] [SPEAKER_04]: Mainstream. [00:04:15] [SPEAKER_07]: So I unfolded every little part of my brain and I dug pretty deep for this one and kind of shallow at times. [00:04:23] [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, just poked it in through my front eye, hit that frontal cortex and just gave it a couple of pokes. [00:04:30] [SPEAKER_07]: And I was able to really uncover some shit. [00:04:36] [SPEAKER_07]: And Aaron, I think you said that you got some stuff. [00:04:40] [SPEAKER_06]: But yeah, I've got some real doozers. [00:04:42] [SPEAKER_07]: But I mean, I was just complimenting Rob on that sick ass Sephiroth in the background there that's standing on. [00:04:50] [SPEAKER_07]: I've seen that Sephiroth, my friend. [00:04:52] [SPEAKER_07]: That is not a cheap Sephiroth. [00:04:55] [SPEAKER_04]: It's yeah, it cost me a left. [00:04:56] [SPEAKER_04]: No, I have one right now. [00:04:58] [SPEAKER_04]: That's what I have now. [00:05:00] [SPEAKER_07]: So I see people posting that on fucking marketplace. [00:05:03] [SPEAKER_07]: And I was like, you want fucking how much for this? [00:05:05] [SPEAKER_07]: And I look at the retail price. [00:05:06] [SPEAKER_07]: I'm like, oh, yeah, it's fair. [00:05:08] [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah. [00:05:08] [SPEAKER_06]: In other words, are those amiibos on the second and third shelves? [00:05:13] [SPEAKER_04]: Which I'm pretty sure. [00:05:13] [SPEAKER_04]: Yes, there is just The Legend of Zelda. [00:05:16] [SPEAKER_04]: It's the Ocarina of Time one, the Twilight Princess one and the Majora's Mask one, I think. [00:05:21] [SPEAKER_04]: Hell yeah. [00:05:22] [SPEAKER_07]: I think I see the legs of Optimus Prime. [00:05:25] [SPEAKER_04]: Oh, yeah, he's up. [00:05:27] [SPEAKER_07]: It's the Lego one that transform. [00:05:28] [SPEAKER_07]: I recognize those legs anyway. [00:05:33] [SPEAKER_04]: Yep, yep. [00:05:34] [SPEAKER_04]: So a little collection. [00:05:35] [SPEAKER_04]: Kelvin has a pretty cool collection too, but he's in a hotel Wisconsin right now. [00:05:40] [SPEAKER_04]: No, he's loving it though. [00:05:41] [SPEAKER_07]: Sure he is. [00:05:42] [SPEAKER_07]: And he doesn't have a webcam on his laptop. [00:05:45] [SPEAKER_07]: He doesn't. [00:05:46] [SPEAKER_06]: Hey, welcome to the Midwest, Kelvin. [00:05:48] [SPEAKER_06]: Holy shit. [00:05:48] [SPEAKER_06]: Hey, I'm in Iowa. [00:05:50] [SPEAKER_06]: So you could like hop on down any fucking time. [00:05:52] [SPEAKER_06]: You're in Iowa?

[00:06:21] [SPEAKER_06]: Like Ames is like maybe 30 minutes or 35 minutes or something. [00:06:25] [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, Iowa has a special place in my heart. [00:06:28] [SPEAKER_06]: Honestly.

[00:07:49] [SPEAKER_02]: It's great, what do you mean? [00:07:50] [SPEAKER_02]: There's nothing wrong with Provolone. [00:07:52] [SPEAKER_02]: You can't be mad at Provolone. [00:07:54] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, but like compared to like a Gouda or a Brie cheese... [00:07:58] [SPEAKER_06]: Sometimes a motherfucker doesn't want champagne. [00:08:01] [SPEAKER_06]: Sometimes like a cold glass of water hits just right. [00:08:04] [SPEAKER_06]: And that's... [00:08:05] [SPEAKER_02]: Thank you, Eric.

[00:08:41] [SPEAKER_04]: Most of the time. [00:08:42] [SPEAKER_04]: Like 97.5% of the time we're putting in time. [00:08:45] [SPEAKER_04]: So. [00:08:46] [SPEAKER_05]: Drama.

[00:09:03] [SPEAKER_04]: I thought we'd do some blue cheese crumbles [00:09:04] [SPEAKER_04]: because you could dress up a salad real nice [00:09:06] [SPEAKER_04]: with some blue cheese, get a little funk to it. [00:09:08] [SPEAKER_04]: You know? [00:09:08] [SPEAKER_07]: Blue cheese and ranch chicken wings. [00:09:13] [SPEAKER_07]: You say branch. [00:09:15] [SPEAKER_07]: Or ranch.

[00:14:02] [SPEAKER_06]: My man yeah starting with the fucking [00:14:03] [SPEAKER_06]: Shin Megami Tensei game hell yeah. [00:14:06] [SPEAKER_06]: Fucking love that series. [00:14:06] [SPEAKER_04]: Well hang on. [00:14:07] [SPEAKER_07]: It's not quite Shin Megami Tensei. [00:14:09] [SPEAKER_07]: It is. [00:14:10] [SPEAKER_07]: Yes it is. [00:14:10] [SPEAKER_07]: It's a spin off. [00:14:12] Yeah. [00:14:12] [SPEAKER_07]: Right but that's what I mean. [00:14:13] [SPEAKER_07]: It's not SMT but it's it's own thing. [00:14:16] [SPEAKER_07]: No it's a different yeah. [00:14:18] [SPEAKER_07]: There's so many spin offs of SMT right? [00:14:20] [SPEAKER_07]: There's Persona and then Digital Devil Saga [00:14:22] [SPEAKER_07]: I think there's like one more thing. [00:14:24] [SPEAKER_06]: I can't remember the one. [00:14:25] [SPEAKER_06]: Devil Survivor fucking. [00:14:27] [SPEAKER_06]: Devil Survivor. [00:14:28] [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah that's probably one of those. [00:14:29] [SPEAKER_06]: Devil Summoner, Soul Hacker. [00:14:30] [SPEAKER_06]: Nocturne is that Shin Megami Tensei? [00:14:32] [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah that's Shin Megami Tensei 3. [00:14:34] [SPEAKER_06]: 3 yeah. [00:14:35] [SPEAKER_07]: So Rob I have a question already. [00:14:38] [SPEAKER_07]: I have never played one of these Digital Devil Sagas. [00:14:42] [SPEAKER_07]: Please tell me what's a highlight of this thing? [00:14:48] [SPEAKER_04]: So it's just like any other of the Shin Megami Tensei [00:14:51] [SPEAKER_04]: that you've played so you're not missing much [00:14:54] [SPEAKER_04]: but the one cool thing, their gimmick I would say [00:14:58] [SPEAKER_04]: is that each of your characters have a devil form [00:15:01] [SPEAKER_04]: that you transform into. [00:15:02] [SPEAKER_04]: You have a human form and devil form [00:15:04] [SPEAKER_04]: and the way that you power up your character [00:15:07] [SPEAKER_04]: is you devour the enemies [00:15:10] [SPEAKER_04]: and it's literally an attack called Devour [00:15:12] [SPEAKER_04]: and you gain like abilities and that's how you. [00:15:15] [SPEAKER_04]: Oh that's cool as fuck. [00:15:15] [SPEAKER_07]: It's very cool, it's so cool. [00:15:17] [SPEAKER_07]: That's cool as fuck. [00:15:17] [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah. [00:15:18] [SPEAKER_06]: I love lore. [00:15:19] [SPEAKER_06]: Listeners look it up. [00:15:21] [SPEAKER_06]: Four? [00:15:21] [SPEAKER_06]: Rob what's the one that you played? [00:15:22] [SPEAKER_04]: V-O-R-E look it up. [00:15:24] [SPEAKER_04]: Google it. [00:15:24] [SPEAKER_04]: Oh lore. [00:15:25] [SPEAKER_04]: Okay. [00:15:26] [SPEAKER_04]: Kylf, what were you saying? [00:15:27] [SPEAKER_02]: I was just asking what was the game [00:15:28] [SPEAKER_02]: that you played a lot back in the day [00:15:29] [SPEAKER_02]: that you were really into? [00:15:31] [SPEAKER_02]: Digital Devil Saga. [00:15:33] [SPEAKER_02]: Which one? [00:15:34] [SPEAKER_04]: One, one. [00:15:35] [SPEAKER_04]: Oh the first one? [00:15:36] [SPEAKER_04]: The first one, there's two of them. [00:15:37] [SPEAKER_04]: But number one. [00:15:38] [SPEAKER_07]: Is that on Super Nintendo or? [00:15:40] [SPEAKER_04]: It's on PS2. [00:15:42] [SPEAKER_07]: It was a PS2 game? [00:15:43] [SPEAKER_07]: Holy shit. [00:15:44] [SPEAKER_06]: Oh I think you're thinking of what came, [00:15:47] [SPEAKER_06]: because back in the day it was Megami Tensei [00:15:49] [SPEAKER_06]: like Digital Devil Story. [00:15:51] [SPEAKER_06]: Digital Devil Saga is totally different. [00:15:54] [SPEAKER_06]: That's, there's two games on PS2. [00:15:56] [SPEAKER_07]: I thought there was some of these on Super Nintendo [00:15:58] [SPEAKER_07]: but. [00:15:59] [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah you're thinking of like before [00:16:00] [SPEAKER_06]: Shin Megami Tensei. [00:16:01] [SPEAKER_06]: Okay. [00:16:02] [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah so. [00:16:04] [SPEAKER_06]: You're looking up VOR right now? [00:16:06] [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah VOR, it's V-O-R. [00:16:07] [SPEAKER_06]: V-O-R-E. [00:16:10] [SPEAKER_06]: Or. [00:16:10] [SPEAKER_06]: Oh man. [00:16:11] [SPEAKER_04]: Game, just type in VOR, VOR game. [00:16:13] [SPEAKER_06]: It's a fetish. [00:16:16] [SPEAKER_04]: Oh no. [00:16:17] [SPEAKER_04]: Oh no. [00:16:17] [SPEAKER_04]: I already see it. [00:16:19] [SPEAKER_04]: Top NSFW games tagged VOR. [00:16:22] [SPEAKER_04]: I'm gonna lie. [00:16:23] [SPEAKER_04]: I must also see that. [00:16:24] [SPEAKER_06]: You just Google VOR, you hear all, [00:16:25] [SPEAKER_06]: it's basically like a. [00:16:27] [SPEAKER_06]: Oh no, I already clicked it. [00:16:29] [SPEAKER_06]: I don't like it. [00:16:30] [SPEAKER_06]: Yep, I'm already out. [00:16:31] [SPEAKER_06]: I'm out. [00:16:31] [SPEAKER_07]: What is happening here? [00:16:32] [SPEAKER_04]: Yep, yep, yep. [00:16:34] [SPEAKER_07]: Let me read the, let me read this for you. [00:16:37] [SPEAKER_07]: Vorophilia is a fetish involving being eaten [00:16:40] [SPEAKER_07]: or by eating someone or something. [00:16:44] [SPEAKER_07]: Wasn't there like a thing in Germany [00:16:46] [SPEAKER_07]: where that dude posted on like Craigslist [00:16:48] [SPEAKER_07]: and was like I would like someone to eat me. [00:16:50] [SPEAKER_07]: And then a dude was like I'll do it. [00:16:53] [SPEAKER_07]: And he did. [00:16:55] [SPEAKER_04]: Jesus Christ, you'd get anything on Craigslist bro. [00:16:59] [SPEAKER_04]: To be fair, is it considered murder at that point? [00:17:02] [SPEAKER_07]: I think person asked. [00:17:02] [SPEAKER_07]: Here's the thing, I guess this dude, [00:17:05] [SPEAKER_07]: I think he was put in prison for a bit [00:17:08] [SPEAKER_07]: because they were like we can't just let you eat a guy [00:17:11] [SPEAKER_07]: and like not do anything, just be like, [00:17:14] [SPEAKER_07]: well he said it was okay. [00:17:15] [SPEAKER_07]: Like I had written permission on the internet. [00:17:20] [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, I guess they didn't give a fuck about that. [00:17:23] [SPEAKER_07]: They were like yeah, you still ate a dude. [00:17:26] [SPEAKER_04]: That's true. [00:17:26] [SPEAKER_04]: There's two crazy, not just one crazy. [00:17:29] [SPEAKER_04]: The person except was like yeah, I'll eat a guy, sure. [00:17:34] [SPEAKER_04]: That's not reasonable. [00:17:35] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, sure, I've been waiting for this. [00:17:37] [SPEAKER_04]: I'm gonna run off for a minute. [00:17:38] [SPEAKER_06]: I'm feeling a little peckish. [00:17:40] [SPEAKER_06]: I didn't have anything better to do today. [00:17:41] [SPEAKER_06]: Fuck it, I'll eat a guy. [00:17:43] [SPEAKER_06]: Rob, what's the digital devil saga like again? [00:17:47] [SPEAKER_05]: Well you eat people, you eat guys, you eat demons. [00:17:49] [SPEAKER_04]: So there you go. [00:17:50] [SPEAKER_04]: Oh man. [00:17:51] [SPEAKER_05]: Craigslist, here I come. [00:17:52] [SPEAKER_01]: Right. [00:17:55] [SPEAKER_04]: But yeah, it was just like, [00:17:56] [SPEAKER_04]: I think it was the first Shimugan Intense game [00:17:58] [SPEAKER_04]: I've ever played. [00:17:59] [SPEAKER_04]: So that was kind of my intro to it. [00:18:01] [SPEAKER_04]: I didn't know that like the different enemies carried over [00:18:05] [SPEAKER_04]: to all the games. [00:18:06] [SPEAKER_04]: Like they're all the same enemies. [00:18:08] [SPEAKER_04]: Basically all the designs, you know, [00:18:09] [SPEAKER_04]: like what's his name? [00:18:10] [SPEAKER_06]: Jack Frost, I think his name. [00:18:11] [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, and Jack the Lantern and all that. [00:18:13] [SPEAKER_04]: Jack the Lantern. [00:18:14] [SPEAKER_04]: So that was kind of my first dive [00:18:16] [SPEAKER_04]: and then once I played that, [00:18:18] [SPEAKER_04]: I never played two unfortunately. [00:18:19] [SPEAKER_04]: Like I only got through one, [00:18:21] [SPEAKER_04]: but I'm like, I remember the story being like kind of okay. [00:18:25] [SPEAKER_04]: But when that was the first game that came to mind [00:18:27] [SPEAKER_04]: when you set up Scare RPGs, [00:18:28] [SPEAKER_04]: because I'm like this is a game that people know about [00:18:30] [SPEAKER_04]: but no one played it. [00:18:31] [SPEAKER_04]: Like no one. [00:18:33] [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, that's true. [00:18:34] [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah exactly. [00:18:34] [SPEAKER_06]: It's a great fucking pick. [00:18:36] [SPEAKER_06]: I fuck it, I love the Shimugami Tensei series. [00:18:39] [SPEAKER_06]: I've got every single one of DS and 3DS. [00:18:42] [SPEAKER_07]: It's pretty much just like goth kid Pokemon. [00:18:45] [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah. [00:18:46] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, to go with putting it honestly. [00:18:48] [SPEAKER_04]: Like more- [00:18:49] [SPEAKER_07]: I was goth kid growing up so like. [00:18:51] [SPEAKER_07]: You'd love Shimugami Tensei, Jerbear. [00:18:54] [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah. [00:18:54] [SPEAKER_07]: I fucking, yep. [00:18:55] [SPEAKER_07]: That was my goth name by the way growing up. [00:18:57] [SPEAKER_07]: Jerbear. [00:18:58] [SPEAKER_07]: Hell yeah. [00:18:58] [SPEAKER_04]: I'm actually probably gonna go download [00:19:00] [SPEAKER_04]: Kijil Tsalva 2. [00:19:01] [SPEAKER_04]: I'm gonna go get it somehow. [00:19:02] [SPEAKER_04]: Yes. [00:19:03] [SPEAKER_06]: Have you played Nocturne then [00:19:05] [SPEAKER_06]: since you brought it up earlier? [00:19:07] [SPEAKER_04]: I have not played Nocturne. [00:19:08] [SPEAKER_06]: I heard Nocturne is really good. [00:19:11] [SPEAKER_04]: Dante's in it right from Devil May Cry? [00:19:12] [SPEAKER_06]: Only on the- [00:19:13] [SPEAKER_06]: Only, oh what? [00:19:14] [SPEAKER_06]: Maybe it is on the remaster. [00:19:18] [SPEAKER_06]: They had, so yeah Nocturne, [00:19:21] [SPEAKER_06]: which is Shimugami Tensei 3 was on PS2. [00:19:24] [SPEAKER_06]: And yeah it had this weird fucking crossover [00:19:27] [SPEAKER_06]: with Devil May Cry where yeah you could [00:19:30] [SPEAKER_06]: fight Dante as a boss and then recruit him [00:19:33] [SPEAKER_06]: as a demon or something. [00:19:35] [SPEAKER_06]: No way. [00:19:36] [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah. [00:19:36] [SPEAKER_06]: You're lying. [00:19:37] [SPEAKER_06]: No that's a real thing dude. [00:19:40] [SPEAKER_07]: You tell lies. [00:19:41] [SPEAKER_06]: But yeah 3 is good. [00:19:43] [SPEAKER_06]: Nocturne is on I think everything now [00:19:45] [SPEAKER_06]: because they remastered it. [00:19:47] [SPEAKER_06]: And then 5, if you're gonna play 5, [00:19:49] [SPEAKER_06]: get Vengeance because they, oh god it's so much better. [00:19:52] [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah I heard Vengeance is good. [00:19:54] [SPEAKER_06]: They just released like a- [00:19:55] [SPEAKER_07]: They did the PC release of it recently. [00:19:58] [SPEAKER_07]: Cause I tried that on a switch [00:20:02] [SPEAKER_07]: and I was like I don't know [00:20:04] [SPEAKER_07]: if I can get behind this frame rate. [00:20:07] [SPEAKER_07]: Oh it's- [00:20:07] [SPEAKER_07]: I feel like I want this- [00:20:08] [SPEAKER_07]: It's bad? [00:20:09] [SPEAKER_07]: It's not great. [00:20:10] [SPEAKER_06]: It's not terrible. [00:20:11] [SPEAKER_06]: I got Vengeance which Vengeance [00:20:14] [SPEAKER_06]: is like the version they just recently put out [00:20:17] [SPEAKER_06]: which adds a lot more story, more bosses, [00:20:21] [SPEAKER_06]: more demons, more quality of life fixes. [00:20:24] [SPEAKER_06]: Like you can save anywhere think fuck. [00:20:27] [SPEAKER_06]: Then I got on Series X and it's good. [00:20:29] [SPEAKER_04]: So on Nocturne you've recruited demons [00:20:32] [SPEAKER_04]: to fight with you right? [00:20:34] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah. [00:20:34] [SPEAKER_04]: Is that how that works? [00:20:35] [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah you talk to them and you make bargains [00:20:38] [SPEAKER_06]: with them and just give them all your fucking money. [00:20:40] [SPEAKER_06]: Okay so- [00:20:41] [SPEAKER_02]: So I'm seeing a 1999 version. [00:20:43] [SPEAKER_02]: Is there a remastered version you said? [00:20:47] Of Nocturne? [00:20:48] [SPEAKER_02]: Or is this a completely different game? [00:20:50] [SPEAKER_07]: It's the same game they just kind of like [00:20:52] [SPEAKER_07]: they remade it. [00:20:54] [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah. [00:20:54] [SPEAKER_06]: Shouldn't be giving me- [00:20:55] [SPEAKER_06]: Fuck I'm just gonna say Nocturne. [00:20:57] [SPEAKER_06]: That name is fucking me up. [00:20:59] [SPEAKER_06]: Nocturne. [00:20:59] [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah they did a remaster for for sure Switch [00:21:02] [SPEAKER_06]: and PlayStation. [00:21:03] [SPEAKER_06]: I think it's on Xbox as well. [00:21:05] [SPEAKER_06]: We're looking up. [00:21:06] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh I just wrote Nocturne [00:21:08] [SPEAKER_02]: and it was a completely different game. [00:21:09] [SPEAKER_04]: Oh shit. [00:21:10] [SPEAKER_04]: There is a different game called just Nocturne. [00:21:12] [SPEAKER_04]: I think it's a scary game. [00:21:13] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah that's what I was like wait what is- [00:21:14] [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah do SMT Nocturne. [00:21:16] [SPEAKER_06]: That should find it for you. [00:21:19] [SPEAKER_06]: Oh the remaster is only on Switch, PS4 and Windows. [00:21:22] [SPEAKER_06]: Here you go. [00:21:22] [SPEAKER_04]: So if it's on PS4 you're playing PS5? [00:21:24] [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah. [00:21:24] [SPEAKER_06]: That's true. [00:21:25] [SPEAKER_06]: There you go. [00:21:26] [SPEAKER_04]: See good play.

[00:21:47] [SPEAKER_07]: So this is something that I just kind of discovered. [00:21:51] [SPEAKER_07]: Not discovered I knew about this game for a bit [00:21:54] [SPEAKER_07]: but I didn't realize that it came out [00:21:56] [SPEAKER_07]: until like a few weeks ago. [00:21:58] [SPEAKER_07]: I wanted to play this game for so long. [00:22:01] [SPEAKER_07]: Mostly because I'm always looking for games [00:22:03] [SPEAKER_07]: that remind me of Earthbound [00:22:05] [SPEAKER_07]: because even though Earthbound is like this [00:22:07] [SPEAKER_07]: like everybody likes Earthbound to some capacity. [00:22:11] [SPEAKER_07]: Whether it's you like the look of Earthbound, [00:22:12] [SPEAKER_07]: you like the humor of Earthbound. [00:22:14] [SPEAKER_07]: It's just like if you like RPGs [00:22:16] [SPEAKER_07]: you like Earthbound at some capacity. [00:22:19] [SPEAKER_07]: And it's like kind of been one of those things [00:22:21] [SPEAKER_07]: where like the only thing that's even come close [00:22:23] [SPEAKER_07]: to Earthbound for me was Undertale [00:22:26] [SPEAKER_07]: because like obviously that was a big influence [00:22:28] [SPEAKER_07]: but even Undertale was like [00:22:31] [SPEAKER_07]: Undertale wasn't really hitting it for me for Earthbound. [00:22:36] [SPEAKER_07]: But this game Knuckle Sandwich. [00:22:39] [SPEAKER_07]: If you have not heard of Knuckle Sandwich [00:22:41] [SPEAKER_07]: God damn it look this shit up. [00:22:44] [SPEAKER_07]: This came out like kind of a soft release I think 2023 [00:22:50] [SPEAKER_07]: because I just recently was like [00:22:52] [SPEAKER_07]: what the fuck when did this come out? [00:22:54] [SPEAKER_07]: So I got it. [00:22:57] [SPEAKER_07]: What are you laughing at? [00:22:58] [SPEAKER_06]: It looks so bad. [00:23:00] [SPEAKER_06]: I'm just looking at the screenshots on Steam [00:23:02] [SPEAKER_06]: and there's dudes like beating dogs with bats [00:23:05] [SPEAKER_06]: and you're like making sandwiches shit. [00:23:08] [SPEAKER_06]: Of the game? [00:23:10] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, on Steam. [00:23:12] [SPEAKER_07]: I have not gotten that far. [00:23:13] [SPEAKER_04]: Oh, I could see why you were saying like [00:23:16] [SPEAKER_04]: it looks like that because it kind of does look [00:23:19] [SPEAKER_04]: like that it gives me that by a hundred percent. [00:23:21] [SPEAKER_04]: Yep. [00:23:22] [SPEAKER_04]: Okay. [00:23:22] [SPEAKER_07]: So it is kind of like in a weird way like [00:23:27] [SPEAKER_07]: because remember how like in Undertale [00:23:28] [SPEAKER_07]: if you haven't played Undertale [00:23:30] [SPEAKER_07]: essentially you could do a passive playthrough [00:23:33] [SPEAKER_07]: of Undertale where you don't actually fight anything [00:23:35] [SPEAKER_07]: cause it's kind of like almost like little games [00:23:38] [SPEAKER_07]: that you play like in like your fight box [00:23:41] [SPEAKER_07]: where like you can talk to people out of fighting [00:23:44] [SPEAKER_07]: and stuff like that. [00:23:44] [SPEAKER_07]: It's kind of like a weird way to play an RPG [00:23:47] [SPEAKER_07]: but it was really cool. [00:23:48] [SPEAKER_07]: Knuckle Sandwich is kind of like that [00:23:50] [SPEAKER_07]: where like there's mini games for some of the fights. [00:23:55] [SPEAKER_07]: Sometimes it turns into like a full on [00:23:57] [SPEAKER_07]: like turn-based battle, but then sometimes it's like [00:24:00] [SPEAKER_07]: you're playing like a shmup [00:24:02] [SPEAKER_07]: and then sometimes like you're playing [00:24:03] [SPEAKER_07]: like a fucking rhythm game. [00:24:05] [SPEAKER_07]: Like it's all over the place, but it is really good. [00:24:08] [SPEAKER_07]: And the humor is like spot on. [00:24:12] [SPEAKER_07]: It's really good. [00:24:13] [SPEAKER_02]: Do you? [00:24:14] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm definitely seeing a lot of, like you said [00:24:16] [SPEAKER_02]: mini games, which is pretty cool. [00:24:18] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah. [00:24:19] [SPEAKER_02]: And it has a pretty high score [00:24:20] [SPEAKER_02]: or a solid review on Steam too. [00:24:23] [SPEAKER_02]: So it looks interesting for sure. [00:24:25] [SPEAKER_07]: I would definitely recommend anybody [00:24:26] [SPEAKER_07]: that's looking for something that's kind of like, again [00:24:28] [SPEAKER_07]: an obscure game that I like, I haven't heard anybody [00:24:32] [SPEAKER_07]: really talking about this game. [00:24:34] [SPEAKER_04]: Not a first time ever. [00:24:37] [SPEAKER_07]: I was anticipating it when they announced [00:24:40] [SPEAKER_07]: like I see like a fucking little clip of this [00:24:43] [SPEAKER_07]: and like some summer games fast [00:24:45] [SPEAKER_07]: or Nintendo direct or some shit. [00:24:47] [SPEAKER_07]: And I was like, Oh, I want that shit. [00:24:49] [SPEAKER_07]: That looks fucking cool. [00:24:51] [SPEAKER_07]: And I put it on my Steam wishlist and I forgot about it. [00:24:54] [SPEAKER_07]: And then recently I was like going through my wishlist [00:24:56] [SPEAKER_07]: and I was like, wait [00:24:57] [SPEAKER_07]: what the fuck? [00:24:57] [SPEAKER_07]: When did this come out? [00:24:58] [SPEAKER_07]: And I guess it came out and sometime in 2023. [00:25:01] [SPEAKER_07]: It must've been late 2023. [00:25:04] [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah. I just started [00:25:05] [SPEAKER_07]: I just started playing it like a couple of weeks ago [00:25:09] [SPEAKER_07]: and so far so good. [00:25:12] [SPEAKER_06]: Oh man. [00:25:13] [SPEAKER_06]: I just saw, so I just found this article [00:25:16] [SPEAKER_06]: from Kotaku where it's like Knuckle Sandwich [00:25:18] [SPEAKER_06]: is an RPG that's like earthbound meets WarioWare. [00:25:21] [SPEAKER_06]: And I've never been more into that in my entire life. [00:25:25] [SPEAKER_07]: Dude, I'm telling you right now [00:25:26] [SPEAKER_07]: like this is the definition of an obscure fucking RPG. [00:25:31] [SPEAKER_04]: Yep. Have I heard of it? [00:25:32] [SPEAKER_07]: Passes the test. [00:25:38] [SPEAKER_06]: All right, Kelvin, what you got for us? [00:25:42] [SPEAKER_02]: All right. [00:25:42] [SPEAKER_02]: So I never really played this game [00:25:46] [SPEAKER_02]: but this was one of these games where I would see it [00:25:49] [SPEAKER_02]: and I'm like, damn, this looks really fucking cool. [00:25:53] [SPEAKER_02]: It's Residence of Fate. [00:25:55] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh yes. [00:25:58] [SPEAKER_02]: And I'm not sure why I've never played it [00:26:00] [SPEAKER_02]: cause it looked rad. [00:26:01] [SPEAKER_02]: It was from the guys, it was published by Sega [00:26:04] [SPEAKER_02]: but it was from the guys that make Star Ocean [00:26:06] [SPEAKER_02]: which is another game that I adore. [00:26:08] [SPEAKER_02]: But Residence of Fate was basically one of those games [00:26:12] [SPEAKER_02]: where it had a different direction [00:26:15] [SPEAKER_02]: instead of your typical RPGs, right? [00:26:17] [SPEAKER_02]: It kind of revolved around more of like steampunk [00:26:23] [SPEAKER_02]: but also like robots and mechanical and stuff like that. [00:26:27] [SPEAKER_02]: So like the magic and stuff like that. [00:26:29] [SPEAKER_02]: Like this was actually a pretty cool game [00:26:31] [SPEAKER_02]: because it was trying to change [00:26:33] [SPEAKER_02]: what RPGs played like in that era, right? [00:26:37] [SPEAKER_02]: But the only issue is I guess for some reason [00:26:40] [SPEAKER_02]: they decided to release this game [00:26:42] [SPEAKER_02]: when Mass Effect 2 came out, God of War 3 came out, [00:26:45] [SPEAKER_02]: Bayonetta, Bioshock 2 and Final Fantasy 13 [00:26:49] [SPEAKER_02]: all in the same month. [00:26:51] [SPEAKER_02]: So it just got washed which is pretty much why [00:26:54] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't think any of us played it or maybe heard of it [00:26:57] [SPEAKER_02]: but it had some really cool combat designs. [00:27:00] [SPEAKER_02]: Like I think the art style was what really brought it back [00:27:03] [SPEAKER_02]: as well because it was very like washed out. [00:27:05] [SPEAKER_02]: It had like these like gray, brown, red palettes [00:27:09] [SPEAKER_02]: that it just really didn't, [00:27:11] [SPEAKER_02]: wasn't very vibrant for like an RPG, right? [00:27:13] [SPEAKER_02]: For like 2010. [00:27:15] [SPEAKER_02]: So it's one of those where like [00:27:17] [SPEAKER_02]: it could have been like a hidden gem sort of [00:27:19] [SPEAKER_02]: if it actually had the time of day [00:27:21] [SPEAKER_02]: but no one really played it. [00:27:23] [SPEAKER_02]: So it just kind of got like pushed to the back [00:27:26] [SPEAKER_02]: but that was one of those games where I'm like [00:27:28] [SPEAKER_02]: every time I did see it in like a article [00:27:30] [SPEAKER_02]: or like in a video or something [00:27:31] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm like, oh, that looks really cool [00:27:33] [SPEAKER_02]: but just never got around to playing. [00:27:35] [SPEAKER_07]: There's a lot of like gun play in that, right? [00:27:37] [SPEAKER_07]: Like guns are a thing. [00:27:39] [SPEAKER_02]: So I think that was what was really changing [00:27:43] [SPEAKER_02]: the RPG style of it, right? [00:27:44] [SPEAKER_02]: Because the combat was definitely different. [00:27:47] [SPEAKER_02]: It was kind of taking a more like systematic [00:27:49] [SPEAKER_02]: or systemic like strategic approach with the gun play [00:27:53] [SPEAKER_02]: as opposed to like magic [00:27:54] [SPEAKER_02]: and all this other cool shit. [00:27:56] [SPEAKER_02]: But yeah, that was the, [00:27:58] [SPEAKER_02]: and I heard too that it was very difficult [00:28:00] [SPEAKER_02]: to like get into. [00:28:02] [SPEAKER_02]: So they didn't do a good job at like teaching you [00:28:04] [SPEAKER_02]: like the tutorial was very like kind of loose [00:28:06] [SPEAKER_02]: in that aspect where you would have to like find tutorials [00:28:10] [SPEAKER_02]: instead of like giving it to you, [00:28:11] [SPEAKER_02]: like in the beginning, which kind of like push people away [00:28:14] [SPEAKER_02]: and it just made it really hard [00:28:16] [SPEAKER_02]: to like understand the system. [00:28:19] [SPEAKER_02]: But I wanna give it a shot. [00:28:20] [SPEAKER_02]: I wish it like re-released or something [00:28:22] [SPEAKER_02]: and I don't know maybe in today's era [00:28:24] [SPEAKER_02]: but it's one of those games where you gotta go back [00:28:28] [SPEAKER_02]: to like the PS3 era to play it. [00:28:30] [SPEAKER_06]: I think, yeah, they did a remaster of it [00:28:33] [SPEAKER_06]: for a PS4 in Windows actually. [00:28:36] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, I'm seeing around. [00:28:37] [SPEAKER_04]: You could buy for 35 bucks on Steam, 4K version HD. [00:28:42] [SPEAKER_06]: I played this game a little bit, [00:28:44] [SPEAKER_06]: but yeah, of course everybody else, [00:28:46] [SPEAKER_06]: I got turned off at the moment [00:28:47] [SPEAKER_06]: because other shit was coming out [00:28:48] [SPEAKER_06]: and it's a lot like a strategy game [00:28:51] [SPEAKER_06]: meets a turn-based RPG kind of like... [00:28:54] [SPEAKER_07]: So is it, does it have like an active battle system? [00:28:58] [SPEAKER_07]: Like is it? [00:28:58] [SPEAKER_06]: Kind of, so like on each... [00:29:00] [SPEAKER_06]: It's kind of a mix of everything, yeah. [00:29:01] [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, it's like a hybrid. [00:29:03] [SPEAKER_06]: You can like on each character's turn, [00:29:05] [SPEAKER_06]: you'll basically like draw a line [00:29:07] [SPEAKER_06]: to where you want them to go. [00:29:09] [SPEAKER_06]: Basically think like a fire emblem [00:29:11] [SPEAKER_06]: or fucking like any other tactics game [00:29:14] [SPEAKER_06]: where you like pick where you want your character to go [00:29:16] [SPEAKER_06]: and then they'll go [00:29:17] [SPEAKER_06]: and then along the way [00:29:18] [SPEAKER_06]: you can choose to shoot at enemies [00:29:20] [SPEAKER_06]: but you only have a certain number of action points [00:29:23] [SPEAKER_06]: to be able to do shit. [00:29:24] [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, it's complicated as shit, [00:29:27] [SPEAKER_06]: but it's cool. [00:29:28] [SPEAKER_04]: It looks complicated. [00:29:29] [SPEAKER_04]: I just watched like a mini video of it [00:29:30] [SPEAKER_04]: and it had like strategy RPG like hybrid. [00:29:33] [SPEAKER_04]: It's very weird and I could see like [00:29:35] [SPEAKER_04]: if you didn't really vibe with it like right away, [00:29:38] [SPEAKER_04]: you're like, I'm not gonna play this game [00:29:39] [SPEAKER_04]: with everything else coming out at the time. [00:29:41] [SPEAKER_04]: Like I could see why. [00:29:42] [SPEAKER_07]: Isn't it crazy how like a release date [00:29:45] [SPEAKER_07]: could send a game into obscurity? [00:29:48] [SPEAKER_02]: 100%. [00:29:49] [SPEAKER_07]: It's like they picked the wrong fucking... [00:29:51] [SPEAKER_07]: It's like, no, you fucked up. [00:29:53] [SPEAKER_07]: You picked June 14th? [00:29:54] [SPEAKER_07]: Are you out of your goddamn mind? [00:29:57] [SPEAKER_02]: Whoever decided, yeah, this is the day, right here. [00:30:00] [SPEAKER_02]: Again, God of War 3, [00:30:02] [SPEAKER_02]: Mass Effect 2, Bayonetta, Bioshock 2, Final Fantasy 13, [00:30:06] [SPEAKER_02]: all within the same month. [00:30:08] [SPEAKER_02]: Idiot, come on, man. [00:30:09] [SPEAKER_07]: Dude, I still say if you want your game to perform well, [00:30:14] [SPEAKER_07]: release it in fucking August [00:30:15] [SPEAKER_07]: because guess what? [00:30:16] [SPEAKER_07]: Guess what comes out in August? [00:30:18] [SPEAKER_07]: Nothing. [00:30:18] [SPEAKER_07]: Fucking nothing ever comes out in August. [00:30:20] [SPEAKER_07]: But now I feel like game companies [00:30:22] [SPEAKER_07]: are finally starting to get it [00:30:24] [SPEAKER_07]: because we got a fucking shit ton of games [00:30:27] [SPEAKER_07]: coming out this month. [00:30:29] [SPEAKER_07]: Fucking Visions of Mana is this month. [00:30:33] [SPEAKER_07]: And Wukong, isn't that like this week? [00:30:35] [SPEAKER_02]: The 20th. [00:30:36] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh yeah, the 20th. [00:30:37] [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, so like two pretty big fucking games [00:30:40] [SPEAKER_07]: coming out this month. [00:30:42] [SPEAKER_02]: A good month too is January. [00:30:44] [SPEAKER_02]: January's a great month to release games. [00:30:45] [SPEAKER_07]: January is a good month, yeah [00:30:46] [SPEAKER_07]: because especially everybody's getting [00:30:49] [SPEAKER_07]: that fucking aunt and uncle fucking Christmas bonus [00:30:52] [SPEAKER_07]: in your stockings. [00:30:53] [SPEAKER_07]: They got money, they got gift cards. [00:30:54] [SPEAKER_07]: Grandma's sliding you a little 20, [00:30:55] [SPEAKER_02]: you know what I mean? [00:30:57] [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, granny a slide you and I saw a fitty. [00:31:02] [SPEAKER_02]: Sludgy 50. [00:31:04] [SPEAKER_07]: Nice crisp, wet 50. [00:31:08] [SPEAKER_06]: Crisp and what? [00:31:10] [SPEAKER_06]: Dude, that's why. [00:31:11] [SPEAKER_07]: Kelvin can I go next? [00:31:13] [SPEAKER_02]: You got it, yeah go for it. [00:31:14] [SPEAKER_00]: Okay cool, cool, cool, cool, okay. [00:31:16] [SPEAKER_06]: My first one is, it's a pretty recent one. [00:31:20] [SPEAKER_06]: It's Blue Reflection Second Light. [00:31:23] [SPEAKER_06]: The fuck? [00:31:24] [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah man. [00:31:25] [SPEAKER_06]: Say again? [00:31:26] [SPEAKER_06]: Blue Reflection Second Light. [00:31:28] [SPEAKER_06]: One more time. [00:31:30] [SPEAKER_06]: PS4, Windows and Switch. [00:31:33] [SPEAKER_06]: And it's basically how the. [00:31:36] [SPEAKER_07]: That is the most anime ass game I've ever heard of. [00:31:38] [SPEAKER_02]: What the art is? [00:31:39] [SPEAKER_06]: You're clicking a picture and you'll see. [00:31:40] [SPEAKER_02]: This is the most anime ass game I've ever seen. [00:31:43] [SPEAKER_02]: Holy shit. [00:31:44] [SPEAKER_06]: Doki Doki Literature Club? [00:31:45] [SPEAKER_06]: Is that what this is? [00:31:46] [SPEAKER_06]: No, it's not a visual novel at all. [00:31:48] [SPEAKER_06]: It's an RPG hence why it's in this episode. [00:31:50] [SPEAKER_06]: So it's, so basically these four, [00:31:54] [SPEAKER_06]: I forget how many girls there are [00:31:55] [SPEAKER_06]: but they're all basically plucked from real life [00:31:58] [SPEAKER_06]: into this like weird shadow world or whatever the fuck. [00:32:02] [SPEAKER_04]: Okay. [00:32:02] [SPEAKER_06]: And they take shelter in this abandoned school [00:32:05] [SPEAKER_06]: which they have to go out and find materials [00:32:09] [SPEAKER_06]: basically to cook, to craft shit, [00:32:12] [SPEAKER_06]: to basically just to survive. [00:32:13] [SPEAKER_06]: Like they're just surviving in this school [00:32:15] [SPEAKER_06]: fighting for their lives against monsters [00:32:17] [SPEAKER_06]: in this shadow world. [00:32:19] [SPEAKER_06]: And along the way, yeah each of them discovers [00:32:21] [SPEAKER_06]: that they have these like different abilities [00:32:23] [SPEAKER_06]: when they fight against monsters. [00:32:25] [SPEAKER_06]: So when a battle starts they'll, [00:32:26] [SPEAKER_06]: each character has like a different weapon. [00:32:28] [SPEAKER_06]: Like one character has a weird gun. [00:32:31] [SPEAKER_06]: The main character has a scythe, [00:32:32] [SPEAKER_06]: one character has like a hula hoop kind of thing. [00:32:37] [SPEAKER_04]: And. [00:32:37] [SPEAKER_04]: The hula hoop. [00:32:37] [SPEAKER_04]: Damn, gotta watch out. [00:32:39] [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah dude. [00:32:40] [SPEAKER_06]: Best be fucking around with this hula hoop. [00:32:43] [SPEAKER_06]: And the combat is kinda fucking cool too. [00:32:45] [SPEAKER_06]: So like it's a lot like Grandia 2 [00:32:47] [SPEAKER_06]: if anybody's ever played that or Grandia 1 [00:32:49] [SPEAKER_06]: or whatever it's got that timeline on the bottom. [00:32:52] [SPEAKER_06]: And like as time passes [00:32:54] [SPEAKER_06]: there'll be different notches on the timeline [00:32:56] [SPEAKER_06]: after you pass a notch they'll charge up [00:32:59] [SPEAKER_06]: like a certain amount of energy [00:33:00] [SPEAKER_06]: and wants to get to, [00:33:02] [SPEAKER_06]: like when you pick a move [00:33:04] [SPEAKER_06]: there's a certain amount of energy that you need [00:33:05] [SPEAKER_06]: to accumulate to be able to use that move. [00:33:08] [SPEAKER_06]: So you have to wait until [00:33:09] [SPEAKER_06]: that character charges up enough energy [00:33:11] [SPEAKER_06]: or you can wait even longer [00:33:13] [SPEAKER_06]: and power it up even more. [00:33:15] [SPEAKER_06]: And then just unleash it on the enemy [00:33:16] [SPEAKER_06]: and you can stun them. [00:33:19] [SPEAKER_06]: And kinda like in Shin Megami Tensei fashion [00:33:22] [SPEAKER_06]: get like an extra turn. [00:33:23] [SPEAKER_06]: It's pretty fucking cool man. [00:33:25] [SPEAKER_06]: Blue reflection it's probably on sale a lot. [00:33:28] [SPEAKER_06]: It's really cool. [00:33:29] [SPEAKER_02]: Interesting. [00:33:30] [SPEAKER_04]: Can I play this game on a plane ride [00:33:33] [SPEAKER_04]: with someone I don't know right next to me? [00:33:36] [SPEAKER_04]: Will I get judged? [00:33:38] [SPEAKER_06]: Yes you can. [00:33:39] [SPEAKER_06]: There is no like- [00:33:40] [SPEAKER_07]: Yes you will get judged. [00:33:42] [SPEAKER_06]: There's no weird shit. [00:33:43] [SPEAKER_06]: It's just, I mean I guess it depends [00:33:46] [SPEAKER_06]: on what your threshold is for humiliation. [00:33:49] [SPEAKER_06]: If you're like no I'm playing [00:33:50] [SPEAKER_06]: the game with school girls look away. [00:33:53] [SPEAKER_06]: Maybe don't but it's just- [00:33:55] [SPEAKER_07]: I learned my threshold the last time I flew [00:33:57] [SPEAKER_07]: when I was trying to read Berserk on a flight. [00:34:01] [SPEAKER_06]: Oh I read that shit out in the open man. [00:34:02] [SPEAKER_07]: I'm like fuck. [00:34:04] [SPEAKER_07]: It was not very fun to try to explain myself [00:34:11] [SPEAKER_07]: to the stewardess that came to be like [00:34:13] [SPEAKER_07]: would you like a drink? [00:34:14] [SPEAKER_07]: And I was just like no I'm good. [00:34:17] [SPEAKER_07]: And then I realized what I was looking at. [00:34:19] [SPEAKER_06]: Come back again dude. [00:34:20] [SPEAKER_06]: Casca is like- [00:34:23] [SPEAKER_07]: No it was a woman that was straddling Guts' sword [00:34:29] [SPEAKER_04]: and lusting. [00:34:30] [SPEAKER_04]: Hell yeah dude. [00:34:31] [SPEAKER_04]: That'll do it. [00:34:32] [SPEAKER_04]: Okay. [00:34:32] [SPEAKER_07]: And I was like yeah how do I turn this Kindle off [00:34:36] [SPEAKER_07]: real fucking quick here? [00:34:39] [SPEAKER_07]: Couldn't even slam it shut. [00:34:41] [SPEAKER_04]: Is he worse? [00:34:42] [SPEAKER_04]: They seem worse, that's all I'm gonna say. [00:34:43] [SPEAKER_07]: They probably have. [00:34:45] [SPEAKER_04]: So blue reflection yeah good game. [00:34:47] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah all right I will- [00:34:53] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm just trying to figure out the gameplay [00:34:55] [SPEAKER_02]: side of things. [00:34:56] [SPEAKER_02]: Because looking at it, [00:34:58] [SPEAKER_02]: I know you were saying you kind of like [00:35:02] [SPEAKER_02]: attack enemies. [00:35:04] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't know I'm not getting much from it [00:35:07] [SPEAKER_02]: from Steam right now. [00:35:08] [SPEAKER_02]: So I'm trying to watch a video and it's not really- [00:35:10] [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah so as far as combat goes [00:35:14] [SPEAKER_06]: there's just like think of it like as the ATB [00:35:18] [SPEAKER_06]: kind of shit in like Final Fantasy. [00:35:20] [SPEAKER_06]: You're basically just waiting for your time to attack [00:35:23] [SPEAKER_06]: but yeah like I said certain moves need a certain amount [00:35:26] [SPEAKER_06]: of energy to accumulate before you can launch them. [00:35:29] [SPEAKER_06]: So you have to wait a little bit before you can attack. [00:35:32] [SPEAKER_06]: The same also goes for enemies as well too. [00:35:34] [SPEAKER_06]: But yeah you can attack an enemy with like [00:35:37] [SPEAKER_06]: a certain type of move that they're weak against [00:35:39] [SPEAKER_06]: and then stun lock them essentially [00:35:41] [SPEAKER_06]: and enemies can do the same thing to you. [00:35:43] [SPEAKER_06]: So it's a lot of risk and reward. [00:35:46] [SPEAKER_06]: And like each day in the game basically you're [00:35:50] [SPEAKER_06]: going out with your party of gals [00:35:52] [SPEAKER_06]: and you're fighting enemies, getting resources [00:35:55] [SPEAKER_06]: for pre-op or building new structures. [00:35:58] [SPEAKER_07]: Is there like a dating sim mechanic? [00:36:00] [SPEAKER_07]: So that was kind of my question. [00:36:02] [SPEAKER_02]: So is there like a sims side to this or no? [00:36:05] [SPEAKER_02]: Is it like kind of persona or not really? [00:36:07] [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah it's more so persona. [00:36:07] [SPEAKER_02]: Is this just honey pop persona? [00:36:10] [SPEAKER_06]: No there's no nudity in it at all. [00:36:11] [SPEAKER_06]: It's got a little bit of persona [00:36:13] [SPEAKER_06]: because as you build your friendship with each character [00:36:16] [SPEAKER_06]: they'll unlock new abilities and get like permanent bonuses [00:36:20] [SPEAKER_06]: and shit like that. [00:36:21] [SPEAKER_02]: Gotcha, got it yeah now I'm getting it okay. [00:36:25] [SPEAKER_06]: You know what Calvin you can go next. [00:36:28] [SPEAKER_02]: Fuck! [00:36:29] [SPEAKER_06]: You know what you asked a question. [00:36:30] [SPEAKER_06]: I was going to go next. [00:36:32] [SPEAKER_06]: Every time someone thinks I'm going to go next. [00:36:34] [SPEAKER_04]: You're talking smack about my game? [00:36:35] [SPEAKER_04]: All right, all right you go next. [00:36:37] [SPEAKER_02]: Provalone RPG. [00:36:40] [SPEAKER_02]: No camera eyes. [00:36:41] [SPEAKER_02]: All right let's see. [00:36:45] [SPEAKER_02]: What can I throw at you guys? [00:36:47] [SPEAKER_02]: Let's see. [00:36:48] [SPEAKER_02]: Come on I'm ready. [00:36:50] [SPEAKER_02]: This game has a soft spot [00:36:54] [SPEAKER_02]: and I know I think Rob knows what it is but. [00:36:56] [SPEAKER_02]: Honey pop. [00:36:58] [SPEAKER_02]: No, no sorry. [00:37:00] [SPEAKER_02]: So this game came out in the PS2 era. [00:37:02] [SPEAKER_02]: It's called Legaia 2. [00:37:05] [SPEAKER_07]: The sequel to Legend of Legaia. [00:37:09] [SPEAKER_07]: Oh is it that? [00:37:10] [SPEAKER_07]: I didn't know that. [00:37:11] [SPEAKER_07]: So maybe is it? [00:37:12] [SPEAKER_07]: No it isn't. [00:37:13] [SPEAKER_07]: It is obscure, it is obscure. [00:37:15] [SPEAKER_02]: So this game back in the day [00:37:18] [SPEAKER_02]: and I'm sure you guys can relate right. [00:37:20] [SPEAKER_02]: We would go to like GameSpot or GameStop [00:37:23] [SPEAKER_02]: and just we don't know what the fuck we're buying. [00:37:26] [SPEAKER_02]: We're just like oh we have mom's gonna give us [00:37:28] [SPEAKER_02]: 40 bucks or whatever to buy a game. [00:37:30] [SPEAKER_02]: So this is like our time. [00:37:32] [SPEAKER_02]: We trade like six games [00:37:33] [SPEAKER_02]: and we get like one shitty ass game right. [00:37:36] [SPEAKER_02]: So you're looking at the catalog there [00:37:38] [SPEAKER_02]: and you're like oh this game looks cool. [00:37:39] [SPEAKER_02]: You're just basing it solely based off of the [00:37:42] [SPEAKER_02]: cover. [00:37:42] [SPEAKER_02]: Right at the cover. [00:37:44] [SPEAKER_02]: So Legaia 2 grabbed my attention for whatever reason [00:37:46] [SPEAKER_02]: and it's one of those shitty games [00:37:50] [SPEAKER_02]: that to you it's like the best thing ever right. [00:37:53] [SPEAKER_02]: Like it probably didn't even rate well. [00:37:54] [SPEAKER_02]: I think Metacritic was like at 70 which is not bad [00:37:58] [SPEAKER_02]: but this game, it was just one of those games [00:38:00] [SPEAKER_02]: where like holy shit like this is an awesome fucking game [00:38:04] [SPEAKER_02]: and in hindsight it really wasn't [00:38:06] [SPEAKER_02]: but it was interesting because it's pretty bad. [00:38:11] [SPEAKER_02]: Well mostly like art direction was fine [00:38:14] [SPEAKER_02]: but just the conversations between the players [00:38:18] [SPEAKER_02]: were just like terrible. [00:38:20] [SPEAKER_02]: Like it had some pretty bad moments [00:38:21] [SPEAKER_02]: but I think the combat system made it [00:38:24] [SPEAKER_02]: kind of interesting as well [00:38:25] [SPEAKER_02]: because it had that direction. [00:38:27] [SPEAKER_02]: It reminded me of like Street Fighter sort of [00:38:29] [SPEAKER_02]: where you can put in your inputs [00:38:32] [SPEAKER_02]: and it'll save your inputs afterwards. [00:38:34] [SPEAKER_02]: So if you do like left right left triangle or something [00:38:37] [SPEAKER_02]: and then you can actually create your own attack [00:38:41] [SPEAKER_02]: or something right. [00:38:42] [SPEAKER_02]: And you learn your attacks as you keep doing them [00:38:44] [SPEAKER_02]: by experimenting and that was kind of the cool side of it [00:38:47] [SPEAKER_02]: and I think that was like the first game [00:38:48] [SPEAKER_02]: that I've ever played that you can create weapons, [00:38:50] [SPEAKER_02]: armor and like I think you have like a camp system. [00:38:54] [SPEAKER_02]: Like those were the first times you can like cook [00:38:55] [SPEAKER_02]: and stuff and for me that was like oh shit [00:38:57] [SPEAKER_02]: like that's really cool. [00:38:59] [SPEAKER_02]: I think the battle system was what really got me [00:39:02] [SPEAKER_02]: and it was one of those interesting like mechanics [00:39:04] [SPEAKER_02]: that you can kind of try like trial and error [00:39:06] [SPEAKER_02]: and just decide how you want to play it. [00:39:08] [SPEAKER_02]: But this was the game that I was like looking into [00:39:13] [SPEAKER_02]: like game facts, trying to figure out [00:39:14] [SPEAKER_02]: how to get past this like puzzle or something [00:39:16] [SPEAKER_02]: like this was the one that I was like really trying [00:39:18] [SPEAKER_02]: to like try to get into a lot. [00:39:20] [SPEAKER_02]: So the guy too man, [00:39:21] [SPEAKER_02]: it holds a special place in my heart. [00:39:24] [SPEAKER_06]: I had no idea Legend of Lagaya got a fucking sequel [00:39:27] [SPEAKER_06]: man that's- [00:39:28] [SPEAKER_06]: There you go. [00:39:28] [SPEAKER_06]: You've exploded my brain. [00:39:30] [SPEAKER_06]: There you go. [00:39:31] [SPEAKER_06]: Fuck yeah. [00:39:33] [SPEAKER_06]: That's wild as shit dude. [00:39:35] [SPEAKER_06]: Okay. [00:39:36] [SPEAKER_04]: It kind of paved the way for like the way that you have [00:39:40] [SPEAKER_04]: like there's like little personas that come behind you [00:39:43] [SPEAKER_04]: like they're like your alter ego. [00:39:45] [SPEAKER_04]: Oh by the way shout out to you guys [00:39:46] [SPEAKER_04]: for the JoJo intro music by the way. [00:39:51] [SPEAKER_04]: Oh yeah. [00:39:51] [SPEAKER_04]: I caught that I was just like these guys [00:39:53] [SPEAKER_04]: know what's up but it's kind of like a familiar [00:39:56] [SPEAKER_04]: behind you that like pops up [00:39:58] [SPEAKER_04]: and they have like special abilities [00:39:59] [SPEAKER_04]: to make you stronger so it kind of reminds me of that. [00:40:01] [SPEAKER_04]: So yeah it was definitely a game that was probably decent [00:40:09] [SPEAKER_04]: at the time but obviously has not aged well at all [00:40:13] [SPEAKER_04]: like not even close so. [00:40:15] [SPEAKER_07]: It'd be cool to see something else [00:40:16] [SPEAKER_07]: with that battle system though [00:40:17] [SPEAKER_07]: cause I can't think of and that I feel [00:40:19] [SPEAKER_07]: like that's something that sticks out for me [00:40:21] [SPEAKER_07]: is when I find like an obscure RPG [00:40:23] [SPEAKER_07]: with like a battle system that's kind of odd. [00:40:27] [SPEAKER_07]: Like that's why I picked Knuckle Sandwich [00:40:28] [SPEAKER_07]: because like who the like what other fucking game [00:40:31] [SPEAKER_07]: other than like Undertale has anything remotely close [00:40:33] [SPEAKER_07]: to having like mini games for their fucking battles [00:40:36] [SPEAKER_07]: and shit like it's such a weird thing [00:40:39] [SPEAKER_07]: and I think Legaia is such a cool pick [00:40:41] [SPEAKER_07]: because I also remember I didn't play Legaia 2 [00:40:45] [SPEAKER_07]: but I played The Legend of Legaia on PS1. [00:40:48] [SPEAKER_07]: I think I actually owned it. [00:40:50] [SPEAKER_07]: I think I picked up in like a fucking bargain bin [00:40:51] [SPEAKER_07]: at a Kmart or something one time [00:40:53] [SPEAKER_07]: and I was like yeah sure I'll fucking buy this. [00:40:57] [SPEAKER_07]: It was that and Suikoden both of those at the same time. [00:41:00] [SPEAKER_07]: And I remember just being like popping in Legend of Legaia [00:41:06] [SPEAKER_07]: and being like this is pretty fucking cool man [00:41:08] [SPEAKER_07]: and my friend was there [00:41:10] [SPEAKER_07]: and he was like sleeping over that night and stuff. [00:41:12] [SPEAKER_07]: He was like man let's pop in that other one. [00:41:14] [SPEAKER_07]: I was like yeah it's getting kind of late though. [00:41:16] [SPEAKER_07]: Like do we want to pop this one in? [00:41:17] [SPEAKER_07]: We popped in fucking Suikoden [00:41:19] [SPEAKER_07]: and I was like oh this is good. [00:41:22] [SPEAKER_07]: This is real good and it was pretty much [00:41:24] [SPEAKER_07]: just like Legaia in the garbage. [00:41:27] [SPEAKER_07]: I don't expect that. [00:41:32] [SPEAKER_00]: It's so good. [00:41:34] [SPEAKER_00]: Oh shit. [00:41:36] [SPEAKER_02]: When you went to the store you got a game [00:41:39] [SPEAKER_02]: and you're like oh shit this is good. [00:41:41] [SPEAKER_02]: You felt proud of yourself for getting something [00:41:43] [SPEAKER_02]: that was actually pretty fucking cool. [00:41:43] [SPEAKER_07]: I thought Suikoden was going to be the shittier one [00:41:45] [SPEAKER_07]: because the cover of Suikoden has real people on it. [00:41:49] [SPEAKER_07]: It's almost like real pictures of people. [00:41:51] [SPEAKER_07]: It's such a shit cover for the first Suikoden [00:41:53] [SPEAKER_07]: and then Legend of Legaia looks pretty good. [00:41:57] [SPEAKER_07]: I was like oh this is good. [00:41:57] [SPEAKER_07]: This is fucking badass and I was like yep that's the one. [00:42:01] [SPEAKER_07]: But it is a good game. [00:42:01] [SPEAKER_06]: I was like a piece of shit. [00:42:04] [SPEAKER_06]: What the fuck? [00:42:04] [SPEAKER_07]: I told you dude Suikoden 1 is such a shit tier fucking. [00:42:07] [SPEAKER_06]: Looks like those gold box Dungeons and Dragons games. [00:42:12] [SPEAKER_07]: It's like a fucking Hallmark film [00:42:14] [SPEAKER_07]: trying to make an RPG or something. [00:42:15] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah it's not good. [00:42:17] [SPEAKER_04]: It's not good. [00:42:18] [SPEAKER_02]: It's not their best work. [00:42:19] [SPEAKER_02]: I remember Rob and I we were sleeping over too [00:42:22] [SPEAKER_02]: and we were finishing the final boss and Legaia too. [00:42:25] [SPEAKER_02]: We stood up all night. [00:42:27] [SPEAKER_02]: I think you fell asleep Rob. [00:42:30] [SPEAKER_02]: And we finally beat the guy, whoever, I forget his name. [00:42:36] [SPEAKER_02]: It took us forever to beat that guy. [00:42:39] [SPEAKER_02]: We died literally hundreds of times for whatever reason [00:42:42] [SPEAKER_02]: and we finally beat that guy. [00:42:43] [SPEAKER_04]: It's like 4 a.m. as little like nine year old [00:42:45] [SPEAKER_04]: or whatever. [00:42:47] [SPEAKER_07]: I love a good memory of a sleepover [00:42:50] [SPEAKER_07]: where it's like you stayed up all night [00:42:51] [SPEAKER_07]: trying to fucking beat one goddamn boss. [00:42:54] [SPEAKER_07]: I have like a few of those. [00:42:56] [SPEAKER_02]: It's great. [00:42:57] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah it's a good game. [00:42:58] [SPEAKER_02]: Speaking of Rob, you're next. [00:43:00] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh me, me, me, me. [00:43:01] [SPEAKER_04]: Me, me, me, me. [00:43:03] [SPEAKER_04]: Memory. [00:43:06] [SPEAKER_04]: I don't know if this one is like as obscure [00:43:10] [SPEAKER_04]: as the other ones but I think it's pretty obscure [00:43:12] [SPEAKER_04]: because I don't know a lot of, [00:43:14] [SPEAKER_04]: I don't know personally a lot of people [00:43:15] [SPEAKER_04]: who've played this game [00:43:16] [SPEAKER_04]: but there are a lot of people who play this game. [00:43:18] [SPEAKER_04]: Also came out in the PS2 era. [00:43:20] [SPEAKER_04]: We're gonna go with Shadow Hearts Covenant. [00:43:23] [SPEAKER_04]: Hell yeah. [00:43:24] [SPEAKER_07]: Oh yeah. [00:43:25] [SPEAKER_07]: That's, I love that for the timed hits. [00:43:27] [SPEAKER_07]: There's not enough timed hits in the world. [00:43:29] [SPEAKER_04]: Yep. [00:43:30] [SPEAKER_04]: See you know your shit. [00:43:31] [SPEAKER_04]: You know your shit, JSpot. [00:43:32] [SPEAKER_04]: You know all. [00:43:33] [SPEAKER_04]: Yep exactly and that was piggybacking off of Kelvin [00:43:36] [SPEAKER_04]: with the guy with the inputs. [00:43:37] [SPEAKER_04]: No other game had like, [00:43:39] [SPEAKER_04]: you know just like if you wanted to hit someone [00:43:41] [SPEAKER_04]: you had to time them exactly right [00:43:42] [SPEAKER_04]: and if you hit like a little tiny sliver [00:43:44] [SPEAKER_04]: it like has a critical hit. [00:43:45] [SPEAKER_07]: It was a hard turn based era. [00:43:46] [SPEAKER_07]: That was a hard like timed hits system too. [00:43:48] [SPEAKER_07]: Like Mario RPG is fucking forgiving [00:43:51] [SPEAKER_07]: but like holy shit that game though [00:43:54] [SPEAKER_07]: that was some precision. [00:43:56] [SPEAKER_07]: Cause it was like a fucking needle. [00:43:59] [SPEAKER_04]: What was nice about that game [00:44:00] [SPEAKER_04]: is it actually had really great accessibility options [00:44:03] [SPEAKER_04]: where like if you wanted to make the game easier [00:44:05] [SPEAKER_04]: you could make the spaces bigger right? [00:44:08] [SPEAKER_04]: You could do like one hit [00:44:09] [SPEAKER_04]: and then just like this one giant. [00:44:11] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah you can. [00:44:12] [SPEAKER_07]: Oh that's interesting. [00:44:12] [SPEAKER_07]: I'll punish myself for no reason then. [00:44:15] [SPEAKER_04]: He's like on the hardest one [00:44:16] [SPEAKER_04]: where like this tiny. [00:44:18] [SPEAKER_04]: Fuck. [00:44:19] [SPEAKER_07]: Monocle up to the screen. [00:44:21] [SPEAKER_07]: I say it's 12 o'clock [00:44:23] [SPEAKER_07]: and it's time for a timed hit. [00:44:28] [SPEAKER_04]: But not even just the combat [00:44:29] [SPEAKER_04]: but just like the characters were absolutely incredible. [00:44:32] [SPEAKER_04]: The story was amazing. [00:44:35] [SPEAKER_04]: There's not a lot, you know how like RPGs [00:44:36] [SPEAKER_04]: there's so much fluff when it comes to story [00:44:39] [SPEAKER_04]: and everything takes forever to get started. [00:44:40] [SPEAKER_04]: From the jump this game is just like action. [00:44:43] [SPEAKER_07]: This game is fucked up right? [00:44:44] [SPEAKER_07]: Like it's. [00:44:44] [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah it's weird. [00:44:45] [SPEAKER_04]: It's got a weird like ending. [00:44:46] [SPEAKER_04]: It's like a bunch of timed shit. [00:44:49] [SPEAKER_04]: It's fucking weird as shit. [00:44:51] [SPEAKER_06]: I've only ever played the first game [00:44:52] [SPEAKER_06]: and that one was fucking like nut balls [00:44:55] [SPEAKER_06]: right away at the beginning with like the train and shit. [00:44:57] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, yeah. [00:44:58] [SPEAKER_04]: The first one I would say is weirder than the second one. [00:45:00] [SPEAKER_07]: For sure. [00:45:01] [SPEAKER_07]: Is there three of these or is it two? [00:45:03] [SPEAKER_04]: There's three New World [00:45:04] [SPEAKER_04]: but New World wasn't as like as well received [00:45:09] [SPEAKER_04]: as the other two. [00:45:10] [SPEAKER_04]: That's kind of like when the series went to go die [00:45:13] [SPEAKER_04]: because they moved everything to America [00:45:14] [SPEAKER_04]: and we kill everything. [00:45:15] [SPEAKER_04]: Like so. [00:45:16] [SPEAKER_04]: That's probably why it's. [00:45:19] [SPEAKER_07]: We just can't, we just can't help it. [00:45:22] [SPEAKER_07]: It's like oh look at this nice new thing. [00:45:23] [SPEAKER_07]: What happened? [00:45:24] [SPEAKER_07]: Oh we killed him again. [00:45:25] [SPEAKER_07]: He died. [00:45:26] [SPEAKER_07]: We fucking, we killed it. [00:45:27] [SPEAKER_07]: He's just holding his dead thing. [00:45:29] [SPEAKER_04]: But I just have a thing for games [00:45:31] [SPEAKER_04]: where you get to transform [00:45:32] [SPEAKER_04]: into like different creatures and stuff [00:45:34] [SPEAKER_04]: where the main character Yuri, [00:45:37] [SPEAKER_04]: he can turn into different elemental creatures [00:45:40] [SPEAKER_04]: and like there's a fire one [00:45:42] [SPEAKER_04]: and they have, you could evolve them like Pokemon. [00:45:44] [SPEAKER_04]: Like they have like three different stages. [00:45:46] [SPEAKER_04]: It was just absolutely so cool [00:45:48] [SPEAKER_04]: and they have all these different cool animations [00:45:50] [SPEAKER_04]: and then you had a vampire who was like a wrestler [00:45:53] [SPEAKER_04]: and he had like a big locker [00:45:55] [SPEAKER_04]: that he would bash people with. [00:45:57] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah. [00:45:57] [SPEAKER_04]: A locker? [00:45:58] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah it was like, it was such a kooky game. [00:46:01] [SPEAKER_04]: You have a guy named Geppetto, [00:46:02] [SPEAKER_04]: remember Geppetto Kelv? [00:46:03] [SPEAKER_04]: The pup. [00:46:04] [SPEAKER_04]: Geppetto. [00:46:05] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah. [00:46:06] [SPEAKER_04]: He had a little doll that he would use. [00:46:08] [SPEAKER_05]: It just. [00:46:08] [SPEAKER_05]: What the fuck dude. [00:46:09] [SPEAKER_05]: That's cool. [00:46:10] [SPEAKER_05]: That's so cool. [00:46:11] [SPEAKER_04]: You had a chick that would throw like tarot cards [00:46:14] [SPEAKER_04]: and there was like an RNG element to her [00:46:15] [SPEAKER_04]: and stuff like that. [00:46:16] [SPEAKER_04]: It was really, really freaking cool. [00:46:19] [SPEAKER_04]: I recommend. [00:46:20] [SPEAKER_04]: Who was this developed by? [00:46:21] [SPEAKER_04]: I want to say Midway. [00:46:22] [SPEAKER_04]: It was Midway who developed it. [00:46:24] [SPEAKER_04]: Midway? [00:46:24] [SPEAKER_04]: Oh, rip. [00:46:25] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, it is Midway for sure. [00:46:27] [SPEAKER_07]: What the fuck? [00:46:28] [SPEAKER_07]: Midway developed it or did they publish? [00:46:30] [SPEAKER_06]: Oh wait, wait, developed by Nautilus. [00:46:31] [SPEAKER_06]: It was published by Midway. [00:46:33] [SPEAKER_06]: It was published by Midway. [00:46:34] [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, yeah, it was published by Midway. [00:46:36] Nautilus. [00:46:37] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, I don't even know who. [00:46:38] [SPEAKER_06]: Oh yeah, they did Koudelka. [00:46:40] [SPEAKER_06]: They did Fasile on the- [00:46:42] [SPEAKER_06]: Oh yeah, because isn't- [00:46:44] [SPEAKER_07]: Koudelka is like the prequel to all the shit in this. [00:46:48] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, it was a PS1 game right? [00:46:50] [SPEAKER_04]: Yup. [00:46:50] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, never played that one. [00:46:53] [SPEAKER_04]: But yeah, that one holds a special place in my heart [00:46:55] [SPEAKER_04]: but it's just that whole series. [00:46:57] [SPEAKER_07]: It's definitely on my back list of- [00:46:59] [SPEAKER_07]: You fucking love that dude. [00:47:00] [SPEAKER_07]: It's on my back list of stuff. [00:47:01] [SPEAKER_07]: I've only ever thrown it on [00:47:04] [SPEAKER_07]: but I've never actually sat down and been like, [00:47:06] [SPEAKER_07]: okay, I'm gonna play through this now [00:47:07] [SPEAKER_07]: and I've been wanting to. [00:47:10] [SPEAKER_04]: It aged very gracefully, I will say that. [00:47:13] [SPEAKER_04]: You can pick it up and it's very playable. [00:47:16] [SPEAKER_04]: So- [00:47:16] [SPEAKER_04]: Oh yeah. [00:47:17] [SPEAKER_06]: Another fucking, well I guess they probably [00:47:20] [SPEAKER_06]: can't remaster it now because Midway is super dead [00:47:23] [SPEAKER_06]: but man, I would love to see at least [00:47:25] [SPEAKER_06]: the first two games brought to modern consoles, man. [00:47:28] [SPEAKER_06]: God damn it, that'd be so fucking cool [00:47:30] [SPEAKER_06]: because they're expensive as shit now. [00:47:32] [SPEAKER_06]: Super expensive. [00:47:33] [SPEAKER_04]: 80 bucks I think to purchase it I think [00:47:36] [SPEAKER_04]: or something on eBay. [00:47:37] [SPEAKER_07]: It's only like more you can go to CD Romance [00:47:39] [SPEAKER_07]: and you can get it there. [00:47:41] [SPEAKER_07]: That's true. [00:47:42] [SPEAKER_07]: That's how I did it. [00:47:43] [SPEAKER_06]: A boy Vim, we'll get on Vim's later. [00:47:46] [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, I got that PS2 with that fat hard drive [00:47:49] [SPEAKER_07]: thrown in there, I got all the games. [00:47:51] [SPEAKER_07]: The fat PS2 with the fat hard drive. [00:47:53] [SPEAKER_07]: I got the Bert Kreischer PS2 and- [00:47:56] [SPEAKER_06]: You got Bert Kreischer like shirtless [00:47:59] [SPEAKER_06]: like on his big sticker or like a skin on your PS2. [00:48:02] [SPEAKER_06]: He's just smoking meth out of a fucking broken light bulb. [00:48:07] [SPEAKER_04]: Drinking Kool-Aid. [00:48:08] [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah dude. [00:48:10] [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, a liter of it. [00:48:12] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah exactly. [00:48:13] [SPEAKER_04]: Did you watch that podcast episode with two of them? [00:48:16] [SPEAKER_04]: With what's his name, Tom Sigura and- [00:48:18] [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, Tom and Bert. [00:48:19] [SPEAKER_07]: He's like is that fucking Kool-Aid? [00:48:21] [SPEAKER_07]: And he's like yeah, it's Kool-Aid. [00:48:22] [SPEAKER_07]: And there's like a fucking, [00:48:24] [SPEAKER_07]: it's like a bubba, like a giant jug of it. [00:48:26] [SPEAKER_07]: And he's like is that all Kool-Aid? [00:48:28] [SPEAKER_07]: And he's like yeah, I have one of these every day. [00:48:31] [SPEAKER_07]: And he's like you drink three liters of Kool-Aid a day? [00:48:35] [SPEAKER_07]: And he's like yeah, it's fine, it's just water. [00:48:36] [SPEAKER_07]: And he's like no it's not. [00:48:39] [SPEAKER_06]: So is he just drinking a sugarless [00:48:40] [SPEAKER_06]: or it's like tangy or fucking sour? [00:48:42] [SPEAKER_07]: Oh yeah, Tom's like dude this is bad you know that right? [00:48:45] [SPEAKER_07]: Like you're drinking like a fucking gallon of Kool-Aid [00:48:48] [SPEAKER_07]: a day and he's like fucking healthy. [00:48:51] [SPEAKER_04]: It's just Kool-Aid, yeah yeah yeah. [00:48:52] [SPEAKER_04]: It's the gay, you know Kool-Aid [00:48:53] [SPEAKER_04]: it's just sugar water, that's all it is is sugar. [00:48:55] [SPEAKER_06]: Dude yeah, you put as much fucking sugar [00:48:57] [SPEAKER_06]: as you want in that shit, Jesus Christ. [00:49:00] [SPEAKER_06]: Who's going next? [00:49:01] [SPEAKER_06]: Aaron, you're going next. [00:49:03] [SPEAKER_06]: Sweet man, okay, okay, okay. [00:49:05] [SPEAKER_06]: I've got a, I have three, fuck it. [00:49:10] [SPEAKER_06]: Have any of you played Arcana on the SNES? [00:49:14] [SPEAKER_03]: No, I had not played Arcana. [00:49:16] [SPEAKER_03]: You went way back, I like that. [00:49:18] [SPEAKER_07]: Hal made that, which is weird for Hal. [00:49:22] [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, so I love me a good first person dungeon crawler [00:49:27] [SPEAKER_06]: and Arcana is like, it's fucking slow [00:49:30] [SPEAKER_06]: but it's pretty cool. [00:49:32] [SPEAKER_06]: So like the enemies and your teammates [00:49:34] [SPEAKER_06]: they're all represented by cards [00:49:36] [SPEAKER_06]: and it's just like pretty much any dungeon crawler. [00:49:39] [SPEAKER_06]: Man, you got your main character Rooks [00:49:40] [SPEAKER_06]: or Rook or whatever, he's just your sword master [00:49:44] [SPEAKER_06]: sword fighter boy. [00:49:46] [SPEAKER_06]: Tifa, she's just a healer and buffer [00:49:48] [SPEAKER_06]: you get other characters later on too [00:49:50] [SPEAKER_06]: but there's that one slot in your top right [00:49:53] [SPEAKER_06]: that's constantly like rotating [00:49:55] [SPEAKER_06]: between different elementals. [00:49:56] [SPEAKER_06]: Like you start off with a wind one [00:49:59] [SPEAKER_06]: and then it'll go to earth after a while [00:50:01] [SPEAKER_06]: and then fire and then what did I leave out, water? [00:50:06] [SPEAKER_06]: And you just going through dungeons [00:50:09] [SPEAKER_06]: trying to find the boss at the end [00:50:10] [SPEAKER_06]: but yeah along the way you're fighting enemies [00:50:13] [SPEAKER_06]: you pick up chests and all that shit. [00:50:16] [SPEAKER_06]: It's kind of a pain in the ass at times [00:50:17] [SPEAKER_06]: because even when you're not even moving a space [00:50:22] [SPEAKER_06]: or anything, if you're just kind of turning [00:50:23] [SPEAKER_06]: to the left just to look at the walls [00:50:26] [SPEAKER_06]: or anything around you, you can get into a battle [00:50:29] [SPEAKER_06]: which is fucking annoying [00:50:30] [SPEAKER_06]: and there's no way to just like move backward [00:50:32] [SPEAKER_06]: without completely turning around [00:50:34] [SPEAKER_06]: so when you're turning in like two fucking directions [00:50:37] [SPEAKER_06]: you might get attacked and go into a battle [00:50:40] [SPEAKER_06]: but other than that, yeah it's pretty cool. [00:50:42] [SPEAKER_06]: The graphics are awesome, the music is pretty cool. [00:50:46] [SPEAKER_06]: Everything just looks sweet [00:50:47] [SPEAKER_06]: and it's most of the time fun to play. [00:50:51] [SPEAKER_04]: It actually looks really cool [00:50:53] [SPEAKER_04]: like for the time it actually looks [00:50:54] [SPEAKER_04]: like a really sick game [00:50:55] [SPEAKER_04]: and I vaguely remember looking at the art [00:50:58] [SPEAKER_04]: for it in the videos. [00:51:00] [SPEAKER_04]: I vaguely remember it as a kid seeing that. [00:51:03] [SPEAKER_06]: The box art is so fucking, in the US [00:51:06] [SPEAKER_06]: the box art is just, it's just stupid. [00:51:10] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, just like card sword yeah. [00:51:12] [SPEAKER_04]: Card sword. [00:51:13] [SPEAKER_06]: But the Super Famicom art though, [00:51:15] [SPEAKER_06]: holy shit that shit's pretty cool. [00:51:16] [SPEAKER_06]: Holy shit that is cool. [00:51:19] [SPEAKER_07]: Anime is fuck. [00:51:20] [SPEAKER_07]: But yeah also very strange for HAL, right? [00:51:24] [SPEAKER_07]: Like HAL Laboratory made this which is like [00:51:27] [SPEAKER_07]: you know them for Kirby mostly. [00:51:29] [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, Kirby and Smash Bros. [00:51:31] [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah. Kirby and Smash Bros like they [00:51:33] [SPEAKER_07]: and then they did that like [00:51:35] [SPEAKER_07]: can't get much weirder than that or- [00:51:36] [SPEAKER_04]: The reason why they don't do that [00:51:38] [SPEAKER_04]: they didn't do that much longer after that right? [00:51:40] [SPEAKER_04]: I think there's only one arcana [00:51:42] [SPEAKER_04]: or there are multiple. [00:51:43] [SPEAKER_04]: I think there's just the one. [00:51:44] [SPEAKER_07]: Aaron, when do you, when you pass the ball over to me? [00:51:47] [SPEAKER_07]: Pass the ball bud. [00:51:48] [SPEAKER_07]: Okay. Throw the ball over this way. [00:51:49] [SPEAKER_06]: Dribble dribble, there you go. [00:51:52] [SPEAKER_06]: Good catch it. [00:51:53] [SPEAKER_07]: I'm not doing that shit. [00:51:54] [SPEAKER_07]: Okay. [00:51:58] [SPEAKER_07]: So you were talking about arcana. [00:52:02] [SPEAKER_07]: HAL Laboratory made this RPG. [00:52:04] [SPEAKER_07]: Like what the fuck HAL, what are you doing? [00:52:06] [SPEAKER_06]: It's Earthbound right? [00:52:08] [SPEAKER_07]: Nope. [00:52:09] [SPEAKER_07]: On the Super Nintendo HAL made that one. [00:52:14] [SPEAKER_07]: They made two RPGs. [00:52:15] [SPEAKER_07]: Their second RPG is called Alkahest [00:52:18] [SPEAKER_07]: and it was like an action RPG [00:52:23] [SPEAKER_07]: and it reminded me a lot of like illusion of Gaia. [00:52:26] [SPEAKER_07]: I'll throw you guys a link to the Wikipedia thing here [00:52:28] [SPEAKER_07]: real quick if you don't have it already in the chat [00:52:30] [SPEAKER_07]: but it's, it's a pretty- [00:52:32] [SPEAKER_06]: Like the smiley face too. [00:52:36] [SPEAKER_06]: Hey. [00:52:37] [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah. [00:52:39] [SPEAKER_07]: And yeah so hey you guys like Awada, you know [00:52:43] [SPEAKER_07]: RIP Awada from Nintendo. [00:52:45] [SPEAKER_07]: He was the producer of this game. [00:52:48] [SPEAKER_06]: Oh fuck I see that now. [00:52:49] [SPEAKER_06]: Holy shit. [00:52:52] [SPEAKER_07]: Whoa. [00:52:52] [SPEAKER_07]: This looks so cool. [00:52:54] [SPEAKER_07]: Cause it is cool, it's very cool [00:52:56] [SPEAKER_07]: and it's like not a huge commitment either. [00:52:59] [SPEAKER_07]: It's I don't know like not that long [00:53:00] [SPEAKER_07]: like if I check how long to beat Alkahest. [00:53:06] [SPEAKER_07]: It is five and a half hours. [00:53:08] [SPEAKER_07]: Oh my god. [00:53:09] [SPEAKER_07]: That's a pretty- [00:53:09] [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah. [00:53:10] [SPEAKER_06]: You said five hours that's it? [00:53:12] [SPEAKER_07]: Five and a half that's like May six to seven [00:53:16] [SPEAKER_07]: if you wanna like yeah. [00:53:18] [SPEAKER_07]: That's the thing right like you know [00:53:20] [SPEAKER_07]: when people are like oh well that's five hours [00:53:22] [SPEAKER_07]: that's not an RPG. [00:53:24] [SPEAKER_07]: Bullshit it's not an RPG. [00:53:25] [SPEAKER_07]: It's got all the elements of an RPG [00:53:27] [SPEAKER_07]: and if you don't believe me [00:53:28] [SPEAKER_07]: then just reference back to the episode [00:53:30] [SPEAKER_07]: that we did with Quest 64 Mike. [00:53:32] [SPEAKER_07]: He'll tell you that pretty much fucking everything [00:53:33] [SPEAKER_07]: is an RPG. [00:53:33] [SPEAKER_06]: Hit up our boy Mike yeah. [00:53:36] [SPEAKER_07]: Grand Theft Auto San Andreas is an RPG. [00:53:39] [SPEAKER_07]: It's an RPG. [00:53:41] [SPEAKER_07]: Jesus Christ. [00:53:43] [SPEAKER_04]: I feel like we had that conversation with someone too. [00:53:45] [SPEAKER_04]: We did have the same exact conversation with someone. [00:53:47] [SPEAKER_04]: And we're all like is this an RPG? [00:53:48] [SPEAKER_04]: He's like no. [00:53:49] [SPEAKER_06]: I'm like well isn't everything an RPG? [00:53:51] [SPEAKER_06]: I'm like shut up. [00:53:52] [SPEAKER_06]: I hate that fucking argument dude. [00:53:53] [SPEAKER_00]: It's a technically you played the role of fucking anybody [00:53:57] [SPEAKER_00]: play the fucking role of Maury. [00:53:59] [SPEAKER_07]: You guys ever played that RPG Frogger? [00:54:03] [SPEAKER_07]: Where you take on the role of a frog [00:54:05] [SPEAKER_07]: just living his best life. [00:54:07] [SPEAKER_07]: Just doing his best and trying to get across the road [00:54:11] [SPEAKER_07]: and you level up by not dying. [00:54:15] [SPEAKER_05]: Stupid I hate that argument. [00:54:16] [SPEAKER_05]: I almost got robbed to do a spit take. [00:54:18] [SPEAKER_05]: Almost there. [00:54:20] [SPEAKER_05]: Rob are you okay? [00:54:21] [SPEAKER_04]: I'm sorry Jerry almost killed you. [00:54:23] [SPEAKER_04]: I'm okay no it's good. [00:54:25] [SPEAKER_04]: I spilled enough beer on this desk. [00:54:26] [SPEAKER_07]: Poor dear friend Robert Zombie over here. [00:54:28] [SPEAKER_04]: Oh God. [00:54:32] [SPEAKER_04]: What are you drinking Rob? [00:54:33] [SPEAKER_04]: But yeah. [00:54:34] [SPEAKER_04]: Le Guinier's IPA. [00:54:36] [SPEAKER_04]: Or Le Guinitas. [00:54:38] [SPEAKER_04]: I like to call it Le Guinitas [00:54:39] [SPEAKER_04]: because it's more fun than Le Guinies. [00:54:40] [SPEAKER_04]: Oh what are you drinking? [00:54:41] [SPEAKER_04]: Oh. [00:54:41] [SPEAKER_04]: What is this shit? [00:54:44] [SPEAKER_01]: Ooh Def Wave. [00:54:46] [SPEAKER_06]: Ooh a light logger. [00:54:47] [SPEAKER_06]: Hell yeah. [00:54:49] [SPEAKER_07]: This is just left over from the weekend. [00:54:52] [SPEAKER_07]: I am not drinking right now because I have [00:54:55] [SPEAKER_07]: a lot of sane medication and that would not be fun. [00:54:58] [SPEAKER_04]: Or would it be fun for a little while? [00:55:01] [SPEAKER_07]: I'd be down here like this the whole time [00:55:02] [SPEAKER_07]: and everyone's gonna be like Alka Hest. [00:55:06] [SPEAKER_04]: Next. [00:55:07] [SPEAKER_04]: He'd be drooling a little bit. [00:55:10] [SPEAKER_06]: Have we all done two so far? [00:55:13] [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah. [00:55:14] [SPEAKER_06]: Yes. [00:55:14] [SPEAKER_06]: I done did two. [00:55:16] [SPEAKER_06]: Okay. [00:55:17] [SPEAKER_06]: Should we take an ad break? [00:55:18] [SPEAKER_07]: Let's ask the producers. [00:55:19] [SPEAKER_07]: Producers should we take an ad break? [00:55:21] [SPEAKER_06]: They'd like shake the magic eight ball. [00:55:23] [SPEAKER_06]: Go fuck yourself. [00:55:26] [SPEAKER_06]: Which means yes. [00:55:27] [SPEAKER_06]: Take it away Mike Walden. [00:55:29] [SPEAKER_06]: We'll be right back.

[00:59:21] [SPEAKER_06]: When it comes to home security, [00:59:23] [SPEAKER_06]: how serious are you? [00:59:25] [SPEAKER_06]: Like yeah, how secure is your home, I should ask. [00:59:30] [SPEAKER_07]: Pretty fucking secure Aaron. [00:59:31] [SPEAKER_07]: I can see the pores on any invaders face. [00:59:37] [SPEAKER_06]: What if I were to tell you, [00:59:39] [SPEAKER_06]: the sponsor of this show could make your home [00:59:42] [SPEAKER_06]: even more secure. [00:59:43] [SPEAKER_06]: Introducing, I haven't come up with a name for them yet [00:59:45] [SPEAKER_06]: but basically we've got, [00:59:47] [SPEAKER_06]: they'll secure your home even more [00:59:49] [SPEAKER_06]: with little like home alone [00:59:51] [SPEAKER_06]: and like saw traps all over your house. [00:59:53] [SPEAKER_06]: So if an invader even tries to step foot in your home, [00:59:56] [SPEAKER_06]: bam trap door, they have to reach through [00:59:59] [SPEAKER_06]: like razor wire and barbed wire and nails and shit [01:00:02] [SPEAKER_06]: to reach a key in order to escape. [01:00:04] [SPEAKER_06]: It's borderline torture [01:00:05] [SPEAKER_06]: but I mean they should have come into your home. [01:00:08] [SPEAKER_06]: It's your home. [01:00:09] [SPEAKER_07]: Shouldn't have come, [01:00:10] [SPEAKER_07]: you came to the wrong fucking town bud. [01:00:13] [SPEAKER_07]: The wrong side of my house. [01:00:15] [SPEAKER_07]: Rob's face is very confused. [01:00:16] [SPEAKER_07]: You're supposed to come in through the side door [01:00:18] [SPEAKER_07]: but you came in through the front [01:00:19] [SPEAKER_07]: and now you're gonna learn. [01:00:22] [SPEAKER_06]: Have you guys ever listened all the way through [01:00:23] [SPEAKER_06]: an ad break on one of our episodes? [01:00:25] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, I'm trying to think of a name for this. [01:00:29] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, this amazing state of the art security system [01:00:33] [SPEAKER_04]: that kills you essentially. [01:00:36] [SPEAKER_06]: Maybe, you can escape. [01:00:38] [SPEAKER_06]: If you've seen Saw, there is a way to escape [01:00:40] [SPEAKER_06]: but it's very slim. [01:00:43] [SPEAKER_06]: It's very slim? [01:00:44] [SPEAKER_06]: Okay, so you can escape. [01:00:47] [SPEAKER_02]: There's a chance. [01:00:48] [SPEAKER_02]: There's still a chance. [01:00:49] [SPEAKER_06]: So you're saying there's a chance. [01:00:50] [SPEAKER_04]: So you're saying there's a chance. [01:00:52] [SPEAKER_04]: Can you tell me the features about this, [01:00:54] [SPEAKER_04]: the security system? [01:00:55] [SPEAKER_04]: I'm just gonna call it the security system [01:00:57] [SPEAKER_04]: because it's the last one you'll ever need. [01:00:58] [SPEAKER_02]: That's a cool name. [01:00:59] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, it is the T-H-E-E-E-E-E-E security system. [01:01:04] [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, the... [01:01:04] [SPEAKER_05]: Like Megan Thee Stallion? [01:01:06] [SPEAKER_07]: No, fuck her. [01:01:08] [SPEAKER_07]: If she comes in, I'm fucking chaining her left foot [01:01:12] [SPEAKER_07]: to a goddamn pipe and I'm gonna be like, [01:01:14] [SPEAKER_07]: figure it out bitch. [01:01:15] [SPEAKER_06]: Is it her that does the ochre thing [01:01:18] [SPEAKER_06]: or is that Cardi B right? [01:01:21] [SPEAKER_06]: No, it's Cardi B. [01:01:22] [SPEAKER_07]: Aren't they all the same fucking person? [01:01:23] [SPEAKER_04]: Who would you rather be trapped in that room with? [01:01:25] [SPEAKER_04]: Cardi B or with Megan Thee Stallion? [01:01:29] [SPEAKER_06]: Well, I feel like Megan Thee Stallion would be way quieter. [01:01:31] [SPEAKER_06]: Like she wouldn't talk as much. [01:01:34] [SPEAKER_07]: She's already taken a bullet to the foot once [01:01:36] [SPEAKER_07]: so I'm pretty sure she can get out of this. [01:01:39] [SPEAKER_06]: Speaking of taking a bullet to the foot, [01:01:40] [SPEAKER_06]: the home security system, [01:01:42] [SPEAKER_06]: yeah you can set up one of those cool, [01:01:43] [SPEAKER_06]: it's like basically just a two by four [01:01:45] [SPEAKER_06]: strapped to your front door [01:01:46] [SPEAKER_06]: but it'll have like a sawed off shotgun. [01:01:49] [SPEAKER_06]: Like right there, there's like a little pee pole [01:01:51] [SPEAKER_06]: in your door that's actually pee-pulled. [01:01:52] [SPEAKER_06]: But it doesn't shoot bullets, folks. [01:01:53] [SPEAKER_07]: We have to make sure that we, [01:01:55] [SPEAKER_07]: Aaron remember they said, [01:01:57] [SPEAKER_07]: we have to make sure we tell people [01:01:59] [SPEAKER_07]: this does not kill people immediately. [01:02:02] [SPEAKER_07]: It could. [01:02:03] [SPEAKER_07]: It'll just damn near kill them. [01:02:05] [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, it'll shoot you in the butt. [01:02:05] [SPEAKER_06]: That's the slogan, it'll damn near kill them. [01:02:09] [SPEAKER_04]: Does the security system come with a medical kit [01:02:13] [SPEAKER_04]: that's somewhere far away [01:02:14] [SPEAKER_04]: but they can still reach with if they're lucky enough? [01:02:16] [SPEAKER_06]: Absolutely. [01:02:17] [SPEAKER_06]: In a first, at the end of, [01:02:21] [SPEAKER_06]: we'll say the home, not trap sorry, [01:02:23] [SPEAKER_06]: the home security features. [01:02:26] [SPEAKER_06]: They'll, you'll see like an old timey, [01:02:28] [SPEAKER_06]: like 1950s like aluminum first aid kit [01:02:32] [SPEAKER_06]: that can bear, you get to like really pry it open [01:02:35] [SPEAKER_06]: with a screwdriver because it's really, really rusty. [01:02:38] [SPEAKER_06]: But there's a key in there. [01:02:39] [SPEAKER_06]: Anything they could ever need like a pair of pliers [01:02:43] [SPEAKER_06]: to dig bullet, sorry not bullets. [01:02:48] [SPEAKER_06]: Marbles, quarters, yeah bullets. [01:02:51] [SPEAKER_06]: Anything they might need to heal their wounds, [01:02:57] [SPEAKER_06]: they'll find it in there. [01:02:59] [SPEAKER_06]: They're non-fatal wounds, right Aaron? [01:03:03] [SPEAKER_06]: There we go. [01:03:04] [SPEAKER_06]: Yep, damn near kill them. [01:03:06] [SPEAKER_06]: Rectum nearly killed them. [01:03:08] [SPEAKER_06]: Anyway. [01:03:08] [SPEAKER_07]: Speaking about rectums, the DLC comes with. [01:03:11] [SPEAKER_07]: Stop with the DLC. [01:03:13] [SPEAKER_07]: The DLC is just basically you turn your whole house [01:03:16] [SPEAKER_07]: into an escape room. [01:03:19] [SPEAKER_07]: And that's it. [01:03:21] [SPEAKER_07]: You're like, hey dudes, [01:03:22] [SPEAKER_07]: you wanna come over to my place for a barbecue? [01:03:25] [SPEAKER_07]: Ha, you're fucking trapped. [01:03:26] [SPEAKER_07]: Now figure it out bitches. [01:03:28] [SPEAKER_07]: Find the way out to the backyard and you grill the steaks. [01:03:31] [SPEAKER_07]: And if they can't then I guess they can die or something. [01:03:34] [SPEAKER_07]: I don't know. [01:03:35] [SPEAKER_06]: You're like, hey there Mr. Home Invader, [01:03:36] [SPEAKER_06]: like you've got your hands up [01:03:37] [SPEAKER_06]: because he's got like a fucking gun pointed at you. [01:03:40] [SPEAKER_06]: Like bro, my wallet is literally like in that room. [01:03:42] [SPEAKER_06]: If you go through that big oak door, [01:03:44] [SPEAKER_06]: my wallet is in there and you can have it. [01:03:46] [SPEAKER_06]: And you just kind of lead him over there, [01:03:47] [SPEAKER_06]: open the door for him [01:03:48] [SPEAKER_06]: and then shove him in and close the door real fast [01:03:50] [SPEAKER_06]: and close it. [01:03:51] [SPEAKER_06]: You're like, ha ha. [01:03:51] [SPEAKER_06]: Now you gotta solve a series of very deep intricate puzzles [01:03:56] [SPEAKER_06]: in order to escape. [01:03:57] [SPEAKER_06]: And if you don't, not, does that mean? [01:04:00] [SPEAKER_06]: Your only hint is written on the wall [01:04:01] [SPEAKER_07]: and it just says Steve is suffering. [01:04:06] [SPEAKER_01]: Jesus Christ. [01:04:10] [SPEAKER_04]: No. [01:04:11] [SPEAKER_04]: Home Invader suffering. [01:04:12] [SPEAKER_04]: Did you tell them about the exclusive package [01:04:13] [SPEAKER_04]: where if you love the original Resident Evil movie [01:04:17] [SPEAKER_04]: where they're in the room [01:04:18] [SPEAKER_04]: where there's a bunch of laser beams [01:04:20] [SPEAKER_04]: and these laser beams are not lethal. [01:04:22] [SPEAKER_04]: They're not lethal at all. [01:04:23] [SPEAKER_04]: Not even a little bit. [01:04:25] [SPEAKER_06]: They might singe your skin [01:04:27] [SPEAKER_06]: and maybe a little bit of your body hair [01:04:29] [SPEAKER_06]: but they won't kill you. [01:04:30] [SPEAKER_07]: They definitely will not chop you in half. [01:04:32] [SPEAKER_07]: Sorry, go ahead. [01:04:32] [SPEAKER_07]: 100% will not do that. [01:04:33] [SPEAKER_07]: Go ahead, Rob. [01:04:34] [SPEAKER_04]: Is it 100% guaranteed [01:04:35] [SPEAKER_04]: that they will not chop you in half [01:04:36] [SPEAKER_04]: because I mean, I'm kind of on the fence [01:04:39] [SPEAKER_04]: of purchasing this thing [01:04:39] [SPEAKER_04]: because you guys are doing such a great job with, [01:04:41] [SPEAKER_04]: you know. [01:04:42] [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, Rob, it's a 99.99% chance [01:04:45] [SPEAKER_07]: that they will not. [01:04:48] [SPEAKER_07]: They won't die. [01:04:52] [SPEAKER_07]: Got it. [01:04:54] [SPEAKER_06]: It's just like how those fucking hand sanitizers [01:04:57] [SPEAKER_06]: will be like, oh, we killed 99.99% of germs [01:05:00] [SPEAKER_06]: but it's like, okay, so one could definitely slip past [01:05:02] [SPEAKER_06]: the fucking Johnson and Johnson goalie. [01:05:04] [SPEAKER_07]: Now I'm not taking that opportunity. [01:05:05] [SPEAKER_07]: And then to that argument, [01:05:05] [SPEAKER_07]: you just start playing 99 Red Balloons [01:05:07] [SPEAKER_07]: and you're like, look, all right. [01:05:09] [SPEAKER_07]: You can't argue with a song, 99 Red Balloons. [01:05:11] [SPEAKER_07]: It's a 99% chance. [01:05:13] [SPEAKER_06]: There you go. [01:05:13] [SPEAKER_06]: Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep. [01:05:15] [SPEAKER_06]: That's just in. [01:05:16] [SPEAKER_06]: There's, if you call now, if you order now, [01:05:22] [SPEAKER_06]: there's a free gift we'll throw in as well too. [01:05:25] [SPEAKER_06]: The, it's the, oh fuck, what am I trying to, [01:05:29] [SPEAKER_06]: the, it's a butterfly knife. [01:05:30] [SPEAKER_06]: I was trying to think of like a funny way [01:05:32] [SPEAKER_06]: to go around it, but it's a butterfly knife. [01:05:33] [SPEAKER_06]: So if you can be like, hey there home invader. [01:05:35] [SPEAKER_07]: It's a knife shaped like a butterfly, right? [01:05:37] [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, yep, exactly. [01:05:38] [SPEAKER_06]: Hey there Mr. Home Invader, check out this butterfly. [01:05:40] [SPEAKER_06]: And then you just kind of get him with the, [01:05:42] [SPEAKER_06]: and the kidney real fast. [01:05:44] [SPEAKER_07]: And the kidney. [01:05:45] [SPEAKER_07]: What is this? [01:05:47] [SPEAKER_07]: Hello, I got, I got analog pocket on the phone. [01:05:51] [SPEAKER_07]: Apparently they're going to make their own DLC where [01:05:55] [SPEAKER_07]: you just, you just invite people over [01:05:57] [SPEAKER_07]: and you price gouge them until they die. [01:06:01] [SPEAKER_07]: And you travel to your house [01:06:02] [SPEAKER_07]: and you're just like, just keep giving me money bro. [01:06:05] [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, it's just. [01:06:07] [SPEAKER_04]: How long is the subscription term for?

[01:07:43] [SPEAKER_07]: I'm more sure. [01:07:45] [SPEAKER_06]: Who, who went last? [01:07:46] [SPEAKER_06]: Was it Jerry? [01:07:47] [SPEAKER_07]: It was me with Alcast. [01:07:49] [SPEAKER_06]: Okay. Pick, pick, pick. [01:07:55] [SPEAKER_07]: Rob. [01:07:56] [SPEAKER_04]: This is a game that's a little more recent. [01:08:00] [SPEAKER_04]: I personally have never played it [01:08:02] [SPEAKER_04]: but it always looked really bad ass [01:08:05] [SPEAKER_04]: but I heard the game was ass. [01:08:07] Oh. [01:08:09] [SPEAKER_04]: It was for PS3. [01:08:10] [SPEAKER_04]: It was, I believe it was close to when PS3 first came out. [01:08:14] [SPEAKER_04]: White Knight Chronicles. [01:08:15] [SPEAKER_04]: No way! [01:08:17] [SPEAKER_07]: Are you serious? [01:08:18] [SPEAKER_02]: White Knight Chronicles. [01:08:19] [SPEAKER_07]: That's a level five game. [01:08:20] [SPEAKER_07]: I have the same one. [01:08:22] [SPEAKER_02]: Level five is so funny. [01:08:23] [SPEAKER_07]: Yep, that's a level five game. [01:08:25] [SPEAKER_04]: That's, holy shit. [01:08:28] [SPEAKER_04]: Tell me that game doesn't look super bad ass. [01:08:31] [SPEAKER_04]: That cover looks really fucking cool. [01:08:33] [SPEAKER_04]: I'm looking at the combat. [01:08:34] [SPEAKER_07]: It's basically like, this dude's fighting a fucking bear. [01:08:38] [SPEAKER_04]: I've always wanted to fight him. [01:08:40] [SPEAKER_04]: Came out in December 25th. [01:08:41] [SPEAKER_04]: It came out on Christmas. [01:08:43] [SPEAKER_04]: This game came out on Christmas day. [01:08:44] [SPEAKER_02]: In Japan. 2008. [01:08:46] [SPEAKER_02]: But it came out later in the US. [01:08:49] [SPEAKER_04]: Okay. [01:08:51] [SPEAKER_02]: Here's the thing though, that game, [01:08:53] [SPEAKER_02]: I remember watching it during an E3 press conference [01:08:56] [SPEAKER_02]: and it looked so fucking cool. [01:08:58] [SPEAKER_02]: I think it was one of the games [01:09:00] [SPEAKER_02]: that were showcased for the PS3. [01:09:03] [SPEAKER_02]: And I'm like, oh my God, this game looks fucking, [01:09:05] [SPEAKER_02]: this is next gen. [01:09:06] [SPEAKER_02]: We're here, we made it. [01:09:07] [SPEAKER_02]: We fucking did it. [01:09:08] [SPEAKER_07]: We did it boys. [01:09:10] [SPEAKER_07]: We did it boys. [01:09:12] [SPEAKER_02]: It just completely flopped. [01:09:14] [SPEAKER_02]: Go ahead Rob, sorry. [01:09:15] [SPEAKER_04]: No, I was gonna say, if you YouTube this game, [01:09:17] [SPEAKER_04]: if you type in White Knight Chronicles on YouTube, [01:09:19] [SPEAKER_04]: the first three hits of this game [01:09:21] [SPEAKER_04]: is what the hell happened to White Knight Chronicles? [01:09:25] [SPEAKER_04]: That is the three YouTube videos you get for the titles. [01:09:29] [SPEAKER_04]: So, the game just, again, looks so great. [01:09:35] [SPEAKER_04]: But it got a 5.1 out of 10 on IGN at the time. [01:09:39] [SPEAKER_04]: And I can kind of see why, [01:09:42] [SPEAKER_04]: because the character models look absolutely horrible. [01:09:45] [SPEAKER_07]: So here's a funny thing though. [01:09:48] [SPEAKER_07]: Recently, I've kind of like been on this journey [01:09:51] [SPEAKER_07]: to create the ultimate setup [01:09:53] [SPEAKER_07]: where I have like each console loaded up [01:09:57] [SPEAKER_07]: with all the games. [01:09:59] [SPEAKER_07]: PS3 is one of those. [01:10:00] [SPEAKER_07]: And among the PS3 games that I've checked out, [01:10:05] [SPEAKER_07]: there's been a lot of times where I've noticed that [01:10:08] [SPEAKER_07]: games that got reviewed really poorly at a time. [01:10:12] [SPEAKER_07]: When you think about PS3, [01:10:14] [SPEAKER_07]: there's these fucking titans of gaming happening [01:10:18] [SPEAKER_07]: on the PS3, like Uncharted and Gears of War. [01:10:23] [SPEAKER_07]: They were all starting this third person thing [01:10:25] [SPEAKER_07]: that everybody wanted to fucking copycat. [01:10:28] [SPEAKER_07]: I found that a lot of PS3 RPGs were like, [01:10:34] [SPEAKER_07]: kind of trying to do some weird shit [01:10:35] [SPEAKER_07]: because they were like, well, what do we do now? [01:10:38] [SPEAKER_07]: Like we were on PS2 and we were doing that stuff. [01:10:40] [SPEAKER_07]: But like now that we're transitioning over to PS3, [01:10:42] [SPEAKER_07]: like what can we do with this thing? [01:10:44] [SPEAKER_07]: And I feel like there's a lot of games [01:10:46] [SPEAKER_07]: that try to do some weird shit [01:10:47] [SPEAKER_07]: and they got shit on for that. [01:10:49] [SPEAKER_07]: And I feel like it was like of a time [01:10:53] [SPEAKER_07]: that was specifically catering to one need. [01:10:58] [SPEAKER_07]: And if a game didn't have the fucking piss filter [01:11:00] [SPEAKER_07]: and that just made everything look brown, [01:11:02] [SPEAKER_07]: like Fallout and Gears of War, it was like, [01:11:06] [SPEAKER_07]: the Resistance Fallen Man had the piss filter [01:11:08] [SPEAKER_01]: and it was a PS3 game. [01:11:09] [SPEAKER_07]: It did, it did. [01:11:11] [SPEAKER_02]: It really did. [01:11:14] [SPEAKER_06]: I fucking love that game too. [01:11:17] [SPEAKER_06]: Oh, there's a sequel to this White Knight game? [01:11:20] [SPEAKER_06]: Fuck, how about that? [01:11:20] [SPEAKER_06]: That's even worse, dude. [01:11:22] [SPEAKER_07]: But here's the thing, is it though? [01:11:24] [SPEAKER_07]: Is it? [01:11:24] [SPEAKER_07]: Because like I too am guilty of just going, [01:11:29] [SPEAKER_07]: oh, a game's coming out, IGN, scroll to the bottom. [01:11:32] [SPEAKER_07]: Look at the number and go, not buying that. [01:11:35] [SPEAKER_07]: That only got a 6.9. [01:11:37] [SPEAKER_07]: And like, what? [01:11:40] [SPEAKER_07]: Like so many people just based [01:11:42] [SPEAKER_07]: their fucking purchases back then [01:11:45] [SPEAKER_07]: on IGN's fucking, IGN GameSpot, [01:11:49] [SPEAKER_07]: like all these guys, I'm guilty of it. [01:11:51] [SPEAKER_07]: I would do the same thing. [01:11:52] [SPEAKER_07]: I'd wait for the game to come out, go to IGN, [01:11:54] [SPEAKER_07]: read the review, not read the review, [01:11:56] [SPEAKER_07]: scroll to the bottom, see the number and go, [01:11:58] [SPEAKER_07]: it's not a nine and then trash. [01:12:00] [SPEAKER_07]: That's not a nine! [01:12:04] [SPEAKER_06]: I only shoot for tens. [01:12:05] [SPEAKER_07]: I would love to actually check out this game now [01:12:10] [SPEAKER_07]: and kind of just take it for what it is [01:12:13] [SPEAKER_07]: because I've been so fucking disappointed [01:12:15] [SPEAKER_07]: with current, like the majority of current games, [01:12:19] [SPEAKER_07]: especially RPGs, that I'm so okay [01:12:23] [SPEAKER_07]: with something just being okay. [01:12:26] [SPEAKER_07]: Right. [01:12:27] [SPEAKER_02]: I think you hit the nail on the head. [01:12:28] [SPEAKER_02]: Did you know that this game [01:12:30] [SPEAKER_02]: actually had an online component? [01:12:32] [SPEAKER_02]: It was called like GeoNet or something [01:12:34] [SPEAKER_02]: and you can like create your own town. [01:12:37] [SPEAKER_02]: You can like- Whoa! [01:12:38] [SPEAKER_03]: What? [01:12:39] [SPEAKER_02]: Like yeah, engage other people [01:12:41] [SPEAKER_02]: in like quests with like friends. [01:12:42] [SPEAKER_02]: Like it was, they tried to do something with this game [01:12:45] [SPEAKER_02]: and it obviously didn't pan out. [01:12:48] [SPEAKER_02]: But again, this was a game that I was really rooting for [01:12:51] [SPEAKER_02]: when I saw it in like the E3 presentation [01:12:53] [SPEAKER_02]: where like, it's one of those games [01:12:56] [SPEAKER_02]: where the showcase of it [01:12:58] [SPEAKER_02]: was not the actual final product. [01:13:01] [SPEAKER_02]: Right? [01:13:01] [SPEAKER_02]: Cause like when you watched it, [01:13:02] [SPEAKER_02]: you were like, holy shit, this is next gen. [01:13:04] [SPEAKER_02]: We got swindled like crazy dude. [01:13:07] [SPEAKER_02]: Like bamboozled if anything. [01:13:08] [SPEAKER_02]: Cause like you would watch it [01:13:09] [SPEAKER_02]: and it would like transition over from like [01:13:13] [SPEAKER_02]: a cut scene right into battle. [01:13:14] [SPEAKER_02]: And that was like a big thing back then, right? [01:13:16] [SPEAKER_02]: But that doesn't look like that's the case [01:13:19] [SPEAKER_02]: when you're actually playing the final product. [01:13:21] [SPEAKER_02]: But I remember that vividly watching the E3 presentation. [01:13:24] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm like, holy shit. [01:13:25] [SPEAKER_02]: You're like transitioning over through like a battle [01:13:28] [SPEAKER_02]: into like cut scene or something like that. [01:13:29] [SPEAKER_02]: And it was like the biggest shit for me, [01:13:31] [SPEAKER_02]: but that doesn't seem to be the case now. [01:13:36] [SPEAKER_06]: Man, and here I thought that level five [01:13:38] [SPEAKER_06]: just did not fail. [01:13:40] [SPEAKER_06]: Like all the Professor Layton's, Yo-Kai watch, [01:13:43] [SPEAKER_06]: even little battlers experience. [01:13:44] [SPEAKER_06]: Shout out to that fucking game that nobody played, [01:13:46] [SPEAKER_06]: but I did all these awesome games. [01:13:49] [SPEAKER_06]: Even like Dark Cloud. [01:13:51] [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, Dark Cloud. [01:13:52] [SPEAKER_02]: Dark Cloud too dude, oh my God. [01:13:53] [SPEAKER_07]: Volley that ball over my way just for one second. [01:13:55] [SPEAKER_07]: I'll volley it back to you. [01:13:57] [SPEAKER_07]: Here we go. [01:13:59] [SPEAKER_07]: Level five made a game on the PS2 called Rogue Galaxy [01:14:03] [SPEAKER_07]: and let me tell you how fucking good this game is. [01:14:07] [SPEAKER_07]: I already know things about that game. [01:14:08] [SPEAKER_06]: That was a good game, yeah. [01:14:09] [SPEAKER_06]: Those characters are so fucking cool. [01:14:12] [SPEAKER_07]: So it's no secret that I am obsessed [01:14:15] [SPEAKER_07]: with Secret of Mana. [01:14:17] [SPEAKER_07]: And for a long time, I looked for games. [01:14:20] [SPEAKER_07]: Like I spent so much time like over years, [01:14:24] [SPEAKER_07]: just like once a quarter, [01:14:26] [SPEAKER_07]: just like typing into search engines being like, [01:14:28] [SPEAKER_07]: games that are like Secret of Mana. [01:14:30] [SPEAKER_07]: And this game came up a whole lot. [01:14:33] [SPEAKER_07]: And when I finally sat down to play it [01:14:35] [SPEAKER_07]: and played through it, [01:14:37] [SPEAKER_07]: it kind of was like what I wanted from a Secret [01:14:40] [SPEAKER_07]: of Mana game to be in like 3D like that. [01:14:44] [SPEAKER_07]: Cause you have like a party [01:14:46] [SPEAKER_07]: where you have your main character and two other characters. [01:14:49] [SPEAKER_07]: You can swap between them whenever you want. [01:14:52] [SPEAKER_07]: And there's like equippable armor and stuff. [01:14:55] [SPEAKER_07]: It was just, it was so fucking good. [01:14:57] [SPEAKER_07]: And I never hear people talk about this game. [01:15:00] [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah. [01:15:01] [SPEAKER_07]: Like ever. It's a shame. [01:15:01] [SPEAKER_07]: And it was so good. [01:15:03] [SPEAKER_04]: Space Pirates right? [01:15:04] [SPEAKER_06]: That's what it is? Yeah. [01:15:06] [SPEAKER_06]: And each character had their own unique melee [01:15:08] [SPEAKER_06]: and ranged weapon. [01:15:09] [SPEAKER_06]: Like the main character, Jasper had. [01:15:12] [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah. [01:15:13] [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah. He had just like a pistol and a sword. [01:15:15] [SPEAKER_06]: That fucking dog dude had a machine gun arm [01:15:18] [SPEAKER_06]: and like an ax. [01:15:19] [SPEAKER_06]: That's pretty fucking tight. [01:15:20] [SPEAKER_06]: Super good. [01:15:22] [SPEAKER_04]: Now let me ask you a question here about Rogue Galaxy. [01:15:24] [SPEAKER_04]: Did it have the piss filter on it? [01:15:27] [SPEAKER_04]: The what? [01:15:28] [SPEAKER_04]: The piss filter. [01:15:29] [SPEAKER_04]: Was the piss filter on this game? [01:15:31] [SPEAKER_04]: No piss filter? [01:15:32] [SPEAKER_04]: Zero piss. Very colorful, very vibrant. [01:15:33] [SPEAKER_07]: Yep. Very vibrant. [01:15:34] [SPEAKER_07]: It's almost like cell shaded and like cartoony looking. [01:15:38] [SPEAKER_04]: Okay. [01:15:38] [SPEAKER_07]: Which by the way, fun fact, [01:15:40] [SPEAKER_07]: I find going back to anything like GameCube PS2 era, [01:15:45] [SPEAKER_07]: anything cell shaded still fucking looks good to this day. [01:15:47] [SPEAKER_07]: Oh my God. [01:15:48] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah. I believe it. [01:15:49] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah. [01:15:50] [SPEAKER_07]: Play any game you can. [01:15:51] [SPEAKER_07]: Dude, Wind Waker is like, [01:15:53] [SPEAKER_07]: I'll fight a motherfucker on this, [01:15:55] [SPEAKER_07]: but Wind Waker is the best looking Zelda game. [01:15:58] [SPEAKER_06]: It's awesome man. [01:15:59] [SPEAKER_06]: It's ageless. I'm not mad at that. [01:16:00] [SPEAKER_06]: It's actually ageless. [01:16:01] [SPEAKER_06]: You actually- [01:16:01] [SPEAKER_07]: It really is. [01:16:02] [SPEAKER_07]: Like dude, I'd rather throw on or I mean, [01:16:06] [SPEAKER_07]: not rather, but like I could still throw on [01:16:08] [SPEAKER_07]: the GameCube version of Wind Waker [01:16:11] [SPEAKER_07]: and play it in four by three fucking aspect ratio. [01:16:14] [SPEAKER_07]: And I'm still like, this looks incredible. [01:16:17] [SPEAKER_07]: Like this- [01:16:17] [SPEAKER_02]: Where's our fucking remake or remaster for that game? [01:16:20] [SPEAKER_02]: Honestly man. [01:16:20] [SPEAKER_02]: Like I'm waiting on a Switch version. [01:16:22] [SPEAKER_06]: Fucking honestly. [01:16:24] [SPEAKER_04]: What's taken them dude? [01:16:25] [SPEAKER_07]: That and the Twilight Princess one. [01:16:28] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, but like you can just download it on Cemu [01:16:31] [SPEAKER_04]: if you want. [01:16:32] [SPEAKER_04]: I don't know if it exists anymore, [01:16:33] [SPEAKER_04]: but you can get it and it works fine. [01:16:35] [SPEAKER_04]: I was playing on my Steam deck. [01:16:37] [SPEAKER_07]: That's why I say hack those Wii U's. [01:16:40] [SPEAKER_07]: Hack those Wii U's. [01:16:42] [SPEAKER_06]: It's a bitch, but it's worth it [01:16:44] [SPEAKER_06]: to get them modded and shit man. [01:16:46] [SPEAKER_06]: Yep. [01:16:46] [SPEAKER_06]: But whose turn is it by the way? [01:16:48] [SPEAKER_07]: I'll pass the ball back to Kelvin. [01:16:50] [SPEAKER_07]: Sorry, I stole that just to talk about level five. [01:16:52] [SPEAKER_02]: Real quick, I wanna go back to you actually. [01:16:55] [SPEAKER_02]: You mentioned Seegress of Mana. [01:16:57] [SPEAKER_02]: You played Vision of Mana as a demo, correct? [01:16:59] [SPEAKER_02]: I did. [01:17:01] [SPEAKER_02]: What did you think? [01:17:01] [SPEAKER_02]: What'd you think? [01:17:03] [SPEAKER_07]: I was pretty fucking impressed. [01:17:04] [SPEAKER_07]: I talked to a friend of mine who immediately was like, [01:17:10] [SPEAKER_07]: I am not impressed by this in the slightest. [01:17:12] [SPEAKER_07]: And I was like, I don't know dude, [01:17:14] [SPEAKER_07]: it might be just because I'm fucking really high right now [01:17:16] [SPEAKER_07]: but I'm fucking, I'm really liking this a lot [01:17:20] [SPEAKER_07]: cause I see a lot of parallels to the older games. [01:17:25] [SPEAKER_07]: The one thing I will say that I immediately did, [01:17:28] [SPEAKER_07]: as soon as I heard words coming [01:17:30] [SPEAKER_07]: and flopping out of their fucking mouths in English, [01:17:32] [SPEAKER_07]: I was like, this is not gonna work. [01:17:36] [SPEAKER_07]: And I did the same thing that I did [01:17:37] [SPEAKER_07]: with Trials of Mana remake. [01:17:38] [SPEAKER_07]: I turned those motherfuckers [01:17:40] [SPEAKER_07]: into Japanese motherfuckers real quick. [01:17:42] [SPEAKER_06]: Thank God dude. [01:17:43] [SPEAKER_06]: You can only, he'll talk like this for so long. [01:17:47] [SPEAKER_06]: God, I hate that fucking- [01:17:48] [SPEAKER_07]: Oh my God, why did they do that to that character? [01:17:51] [SPEAKER_07]: I know she talks like that in the game. [01:17:53] [SPEAKER_07]: They make the little fucking nuances in the text. [01:17:57] [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, but you don't have to fucking do it. [01:18:00] [SPEAKER_04]: This is not gonna work. [01:18:01] [SPEAKER_04]: This is not gonna work for us, baby girl. [01:18:03] [SPEAKER_04]: We're gonna shut you up. [01:18:05] [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, we're gonna put duct tape over your mouth [01:18:07] [SPEAKER_07]: and you're gonna learn Japanese right now. [01:18:11] [SPEAKER_06]: Hold still Megan Lee Stanley [01:18:13] [SPEAKER_06]: and you're learning Japanese. [01:18:16] [SPEAKER_04]: Now quick question since we're on the subject, [01:18:18] [SPEAKER_04]: me and Kevin are actually having a discussion about this. [01:18:19] [SPEAKER_04]: When you watch anime, are you sub people [01:18:23] [SPEAKER_07]: or are you dub people? [01:18:25] [SPEAKER_07]: Subs, subs, depends on the anime. [01:18:29] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm dubby, I'm a dubby. [01:18:30] [SPEAKER_07]: So when I watched Neon Genesis Evangelion, [01:18:38] [SPEAKER_07]: I watched the majority of that in English. [01:18:42] [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah same. [01:18:43] [SPEAKER_07]: And the same thing with Dragon Ball Z. [01:18:48] [SPEAKER_07]: You have to watch English. [01:18:49] [SPEAKER_07]: I have a soft spot for Dragon Ball Z in English [01:18:52] [SPEAKER_07]: because I grew up watching that shit after school. [01:18:57] [SPEAKER_07]: Toonami. [01:18:58] [SPEAKER_07]: Plus it's so good. [01:18:59] [SPEAKER_07]: In Canada we had YTV so it used to come on, [01:19:02] [SPEAKER_07]: it was like Saturdays at three or every day at three [01:19:05] [SPEAKER_07]: at YTV. [01:19:06] [SPEAKER_07]: It was a whole thing. [01:19:07] [SPEAKER_07]: It's ingrained in my brain, it's fucking rent free. [01:19:09] [SPEAKER_07]: But hearing Christopher Sabat and Sean Schemmel, [01:19:16] [SPEAKER_07]: those guys as the English voice actors, [01:19:19] [SPEAKER_07]: I don't know, there's something about it. [01:19:21] [SPEAKER_07]: I can't go back now after hearing that [01:19:25] [SPEAKER_07]: for so many years. [01:19:27] [SPEAKER_07]: But stuff like One Punch Man, [01:19:28] [SPEAKER_07]: I don't think there's a dub of One Punch Man. [01:19:31] [SPEAKER_07]: So I've only seen that in Japanese. [01:19:34] [SPEAKER_07]: I prefer Attack on Titan in Japanese. [01:19:38] [SPEAKER_06]: Jujutsu Kaisen in the English dub. [01:19:40] [SPEAKER_06]: Jujutsu Kaisen is actually pretty good. [01:19:42] [SPEAKER_06]: Is it good in English dub? [01:19:43] [SPEAKER_06]: Okay, I'll check it out in English. [01:19:44] [SPEAKER_06]: It is very good in English dub, yeah. [01:19:45] [SPEAKER_06]: And there's a Netflix exclusive one, Dora Hidoro. [01:19:51] [SPEAKER_06]: That's pretty good in English. [01:19:53] [SPEAKER_07]: Have you guys watched Goblin Slayer? [01:19:54] [SPEAKER_07]: I've heard Goblin Slayer's insane. [01:19:56] [SPEAKER_06]: I watched the first three episodes. [01:19:58] [SPEAKER_07]: It was Goblin Slayer. [01:19:59] [SPEAKER_04]: Don't watch it in front of kids. [01:20:01] [SPEAKER_04]: So I'm gonna tell you that right now. [01:20:02] [SPEAKER_04]: Don't watch that in me. [01:20:03] [SPEAKER_07]: Yep, I mean, I read Berserk on planes. [01:20:06] [SPEAKER_07]: It's that good shit, man. [01:20:07] [SPEAKER_06]: It's that good dark shit. [01:20:12] [SPEAKER_06]: All right, video games. [01:20:15] [SPEAKER_02]: Go for it. [01:20:16] [SPEAKER_02]: You got it. [01:20:18] [SPEAKER_02]: You have the floor. [01:20:19] [SPEAKER_02]: At Leopold, ready? [01:20:20] [SPEAKER_02]: All right. [01:20:23] [SPEAKER_07]: You were asking me, wait, hang on. [01:20:25] [SPEAKER_07]: We got sidetracked by anime, [01:20:27] [SPEAKER_07]: but you were asking me about Visions of Mana. [01:20:28] [SPEAKER_07]: What do you guys think about Visions of Mana? [01:20:30] [SPEAKER_02]: I hated it. [01:20:32] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, really? [01:20:33] [SPEAKER_02]: I couldn't do it. [01:20:34] [SPEAKER_02]: The demo, we talked about it too on our episode, [01:20:38] [SPEAKER_02]: but we feel like we just lost any type of, [01:20:44] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't know, it's one of those games [01:20:46] [SPEAKER_02]: where it's not part of our age group or something. [01:20:50] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't know, right Rob? [01:20:51] [SPEAKER_02]: It just doesn't feel like it's trying to. [01:20:54] [SPEAKER_04]: I don't know if it's about age per se. [01:20:56] [SPEAKER_04]: It's more of like, I'm not really looking for that [01:21:00] [SPEAKER_04]: in RPGs anymore. [01:21:02] [SPEAKER_04]: I've played this type of RPG before. [01:21:06] [SPEAKER_04]: And again, it could really be a lot, [01:21:09] [SPEAKER_04]: because like you said, [01:21:09] [SPEAKER_04]: it played like an older PS2 game. [01:21:11] [SPEAKER_04]: Not saying it played like an older PS2, [01:21:12] [SPEAKER_04]: but it felt like an older PS2 game [01:21:14] [SPEAKER_04]: in the best way possible, right? [01:21:16] [SPEAKER_04]: You felt right at home at this. [01:21:17] [SPEAKER_04]: I'm not saying it's a bad game, [01:21:19] [SPEAKER_04]: but me personally, I'm like, [01:21:20] [SPEAKER_04]: I can't do this type of RPG, like the Tales games. [01:21:25] [SPEAKER_04]: I don't think you'd do them anymore. [01:21:26] [SPEAKER_04]: I think I did. [01:21:27] [SPEAKER_07]: I was gonna say, because this game reminded me a lot [01:21:29] [SPEAKER_07]: of the way that Tales of Arise played. [01:21:31] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, exactly. [01:21:32] [SPEAKER_07]: It's almost identical to Tales of Arise. [01:21:34] [SPEAKER_02]: And we used to love Tales games before. [01:21:36] [SPEAKER_02]: Now it's like hard to get back into those games [01:21:38] [SPEAKER_02]: or whatever. [01:21:39] [SPEAKER_04]: That's, yeah. [01:21:40] [SPEAKER_04]: They do have a pretty long intro. [01:21:43] [SPEAKER_07]: Did you guys play Trials of Mana, the remake? [01:21:45] [SPEAKER_04]: No. [01:21:47] [SPEAKER_04]: Should probably try that one first. [01:21:48] [SPEAKER_07]: Pretty similar. [01:21:50] [SPEAKER_07]: It's really good. [01:21:52] [SPEAKER_07]: And then two, I would also even just go, [01:21:55] [SPEAKER_07]: honestly, the best, sad to say this, [01:21:59] [SPEAKER_07]: but the best days are behind us guys, okay? [01:22:02] [SPEAKER_07]: I mean, the Super Nintendo Secret of Mana [01:22:04] [SPEAKER_07]: and then Second Densetsu 3, [01:22:05] [SPEAKER_07]: which eventually got translated into Trials of Mana, [01:22:09] [SPEAKER_07]: those games are really fucking good. [01:22:13] [SPEAKER_07]: They're incredible. [01:22:15] [SPEAKER_07]: And it's never really captured that since then, [01:22:18] [SPEAKER_07]: but that Trials remake is pretty goddamn good. [01:22:23] [SPEAKER_07]: And I am more than, [01:22:25] [SPEAKER_07]: there was definitely things about the Visions of Mana demo [01:22:28] [SPEAKER_07]: that I was like, I don't know, [01:22:29] [SPEAKER_07]: but I'm willing to kind of give it a chance [01:22:33] [SPEAKER_07]: because I love Secret of Mana so much. [01:22:35] [SPEAKER_04]: I also did not change it to Japanese immediately, [01:22:38] [SPEAKER_04]: so that's probably why I hated it so much too [01:22:40] [SPEAKER_04]: because every time the character spoke, [01:22:42] [SPEAKER_04]: I was like, no, no. [01:22:45] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, you gotta do Japanese. [01:22:49] [SPEAKER_04]: Gotta nip that in the butt. [01:22:49] [SPEAKER_04]: Gotta nip that in the butt real quick. [01:22:51] [SPEAKER_02]: All right, my next game is... [01:22:58] [SPEAKER_02]: Take us over to the back. [01:22:59] [SPEAKER_02]: All right, so this game, [01:23:02] [SPEAKER_02]: I remember back in, [01:23:04] [SPEAKER_02]: I think this is another PS3 era game that came out. [01:23:08] [SPEAKER_02]: Some people actually consider this game like a hidden gem [01:23:11] [SPEAKER_02]: because it was one of those that also got [01:23:14] [SPEAKER_02]: kind of like overshadowed by all the other PS3 titles. [01:23:19] [SPEAKER_02]: It's called Folklore. [01:23:21] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, yeah. [01:23:22] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, I've heard of that. [01:23:22] [SPEAKER_07]: That was a cool game. [01:23:24] [SPEAKER_02]: I was not gonna think you're saying that. [01:23:25] [SPEAKER_02]: That was actually one of my games I played [01:23:27] [SPEAKER_02]: and I'm like, this is actually really fucking cool. [01:23:30] [SPEAKER_02]: The story behind it is really cool too. [01:23:31] [SPEAKER_02]: It's kind of like a mystery of like [01:23:34] [SPEAKER_02]: one of the protagonists, [01:23:35] [SPEAKER_02]: one of the protagonists, it's a young girl. [01:23:38] [SPEAKER_02]: She's like seeking who, [01:23:39] [SPEAKER_02]: like what happened to her deceased mom [01:23:41] [SPEAKER_02]: or something like that. [01:23:42] [SPEAKER_02]: Meanwhile, there's another protagonist [01:23:44] [SPEAKER_02]: who is like an investigator [01:23:46] [SPEAKER_02]: or like a journalist or something [01:23:47] [SPEAKER_02]: and he's also trying to figure out what's happened [01:23:49] [SPEAKER_02]: but they don't know each other. [01:23:50] [SPEAKER_02]: So eventually like their worlds kind of like collide [01:23:53] [SPEAKER_02]: and now they're trying to figure out the mystery [01:23:55] [SPEAKER_02]: of this person's death. [01:23:57] [SPEAKER_02]: So that's kind of cool in itself. [01:23:59] [SPEAKER_02]: But as far as the gameplay goes, [01:24:01] [SPEAKER_02]: I think it was really cool [01:24:03] [SPEAKER_02]: because it kind of reminds me of like Pokemon sort of [01:24:06] [SPEAKER_02]: in a very limited way [01:24:08] [SPEAKER_02]: where you absorb powers of these creatures. [01:24:12] [SPEAKER_02]: You like fight these creatures. [01:24:13] [SPEAKER_02]: You attack them and then when they get to like, [01:24:16] [SPEAKER_02]: when they're like fainted or whatnot, [01:24:17] [SPEAKER_02]: you can capture them or like absorb their power [01:24:20] [SPEAKER_02]: and you use the six axis controller to like shake it [01:24:24] [SPEAKER_02]: and you like take their power, you like absorb them [01:24:27] [SPEAKER_02]: and then you can utilize them afterwards. [01:24:29] [SPEAKER_02]: So you can set them up to put them into a prompt [01:24:34] [SPEAKER_02]: so you can have a heavy attacker on triangle [01:24:38] [SPEAKER_02]: or like a magic attacker as your circle button [01:24:43] [SPEAKER_02]: and you can kind of like mix and match. [01:24:45] [SPEAKER_02]: And I thought that was pretty cool [01:24:46] [SPEAKER_02]: but the story elements are pretty cool [01:24:48] [SPEAKER_02]: but on top of that, the art style [01:24:51] [SPEAKER_02]: and the atmosphere that it kind of gives you, [01:24:53] [SPEAKER_02]: it has like this like dark fantasy style to it [01:24:55] [SPEAKER_02]: which is like really cool. [01:24:57] [SPEAKER_02]: It's like something I've not seen before [01:24:58] [SPEAKER_02]: especially on the PS3 era so that caught my attention. [01:25:02] [SPEAKER_02]: I think I played the demo [01:25:03] [SPEAKER_02]: and I wanna say I bought the game but I don't recall. [01:25:08] [SPEAKER_02]: And I thought it was really fucking dope [01:25:09] [SPEAKER_02]: but it had like a different unique art style [01:25:11] [SPEAKER_02]: and different like RPG elements [01:25:13] [SPEAKER_02]: that I'm like, this is rad. [01:25:14] [SPEAKER_02]: But like no one talked about it. [01:25:17] [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, it was good. [01:25:18] [SPEAKER_07]: How's the fun game? [01:25:19] [SPEAKER_06]: Good fucking pick man. [01:25:21] [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, solid pick. [01:25:23] [SPEAKER_06]: We tossing that ball to... [01:25:27] [SPEAKER_06]: Who won? [01:25:29] [SPEAKER_04]: You won. [01:25:31] [SPEAKER_06]: No, I think you else won. [01:25:32] [SPEAKER_06]: I think it was Rob and then Kelvin, I think. [01:25:34] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, now it's either Aaron or Jerry. [01:25:38] [SPEAKER_06]: Ooh, okay, okay, okay. [01:25:40] [SPEAKER_04]: It was a good one. [01:25:41] [SPEAKER_06]: Okay, I'm gonna go all the way to the game gear [01:25:46] [SPEAKER_06]: with Defenders of Oasis. [01:25:48] [SPEAKER_06]: Jesus. [01:25:49] [SPEAKER_06]: Holy fuck, you win this game. [01:25:51] [SPEAKER_06]: Dude, it's fun. [01:25:52] [SPEAKER_06]: What's the game? [01:25:53] [SPEAKER_06]: What is it called? [01:25:54] [SPEAKER_06]: Defenders of Oasis. [01:25:57] [SPEAKER_06]: Okay, you defend an Oasis, got it. [01:25:59] [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, so it's just... [01:26:00] [SPEAKER_06]: The band? [01:26:02] [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, dude, the band. [01:26:03] [SPEAKER_06]: His wonder wall. [01:26:05] [SPEAKER_06]: No, it's just like a kind of a plain Jane RPG [01:26:09] [SPEAKER_06]: except it's in like, it's set in... [01:26:13] [SPEAKER_06]: What the fuck is that? [01:26:14] [SPEAKER_06]: Like Arabian Nights kind of tone or not tone setting [01:26:19] [SPEAKER_06]: and the characters and shit like that. [01:26:21] [SPEAKER_06]: But you play as this prince. [01:26:23] [SPEAKER_06]: His kingdom gets overtaken by this evil empire [01:26:26] [SPEAKER_06]: and so you're basically just going on this journey [01:26:28] [SPEAKER_06]: to gather up some homies, power yourself up [01:26:32] [SPEAKER_06]: and then you go and take on the evil bad guy [01:26:34] [SPEAKER_06]: like the Lord Agmar or some shit like that. [01:26:38] [SPEAKER_06]: And along the way, yeah, you have your main character. [01:26:41] [SPEAKER_06]: He's well-rounded essentially. [01:26:44] [SPEAKER_06]: Then you get a genie who is your only magic user. [01:26:48] [SPEAKER_06]: Then what else is there? [01:26:49] [SPEAKER_06]: There's... [01:26:50] [SPEAKER_06]: His name is Salim. [01:26:52] [SPEAKER_06]: He's fast and quick [01:26:53] [SPEAKER_06]: and he can attack all enemies at once [01:26:56] [SPEAKER_06]: but he doesn't do as much damage as other characters. [01:26:58] [SPEAKER_06]: Then you got like a thief guy later on [01:27:00] [SPEAKER_06]: and he can hide and then do like a powerful attack [01:27:05] [SPEAKER_06]: after like a turn or two or something. [01:27:08] [SPEAKER_06]: And yeah, it just looks really, really cool [01:27:10] [SPEAKER_06]: for the game gear. [01:27:11] [SPEAKER_06]: It's got some really colorful graphics. [01:27:13] [SPEAKER_06]: Like it's got some cool cut scenes [01:27:15] [SPEAKER_06]: where everything's really detailed and almost anime-like. [01:27:18] [SPEAKER_06]: The enemy sprites when you're in battle are really cool. [01:27:21] [SPEAKER_06]: It's like basically like Arabian Nights Dragon Quest almost [01:27:25] [SPEAKER_06]: and it's just fun, man. [01:27:27] [SPEAKER_06]: I think it's really quick too. [01:27:28] [SPEAKER_06]: I probably had to pull it up on how long to beat [01:27:30] [SPEAKER_06]: to say for sure, but it's not very long at all. [01:27:33] [SPEAKER_06]: It's really cool, dude. [01:27:36] [SPEAKER_02]: Interesting. It does look interesting. [01:27:38] [SPEAKER_02]: I love that we have a diverse cast of games, right? [01:27:41] [SPEAKER_02]: Like you're kind of going really old school. [01:27:44] [SPEAKER_02]: Rob and I are kind of like more on the PS3, [01:27:47] [SPEAKER_02]: like 2010-ish era, you know? [01:27:49] [SPEAKER_02]: So it's a good cast of games. [01:27:52] [SPEAKER_06]: Oh, it's 10 hours. [01:27:54] [SPEAKER_06]: 10 hours for the main story, it looks like. [01:27:56] [SPEAKER_02]: Nice. [01:27:57] [SPEAKER_04]: Damn, you have to charge your game gear [01:27:59] [SPEAKER_04]: 800 times to beat it. [01:28:03] [SPEAKER_06]: Or put like a bajillion batteries in it. [01:28:05] [SPEAKER_06]: Just get like the belts that you would have [01:28:08] [SPEAKER_06]: on like a heavy machine gun [01:28:09] [SPEAKER_06]: and like reward whatever times [01:28:11] [SPEAKER_06]: and it's just like all batteries. [01:28:13] [SPEAKER_06]: It's just feeding into the game gear constantly. [01:28:16] [SPEAKER_06]: Bandolier, there we go. [01:28:17] [SPEAKER_06]: There you go, yeah, batteries. [01:28:19] [SPEAKER_02]: Just bandolier of batteries on you. [01:28:19] [SPEAKER_02]: The box art looks pretty dope too though. [01:28:22] [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, that box art is fucking sweet, man. [01:28:24] [SPEAKER_06]: It's just, it's a fun game. [01:28:26] [SPEAKER_06]: I discovered it on back on the 3DS, [01:28:30] [SPEAKER_06]: like on the virtual console in 3DS [01:28:32] [SPEAKER_06]: had a bunch of game gear games. [01:28:34] [SPEAKER_06]: I was just looking at this. [01:28:35] [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, dude, rest in peace. [01:28:36] [SPEAKER_06]: And it's really good shit on there. [01:28:38] [SPEAKER_06]: Tales Adventure, by the way, [01:28:39] [SPEAKER_06]: that's a really good one. [01:28:40] [SPEAKER_06]: But I found, yeah, this game, [01:28:42] [SPEAKER_06]: Tales Adventure and I think some Sonic Racing game. [01:28:46] [SPEAKER_06]: It's great. [01:28:48] [SPEAKER_04]: Is the band named after the game? [01:28:52] [SPEAKER_06]: Defenders of Oasis. [01:28:53] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, I need to know. [01:28:56] [SPEAKER_05]: Is it really? [01:28:57] [SPEAKER_06]: No, no, no, no, I don't know. [01:28:59] [SPEAKER_06]: I think I'm pretty sure the band came before, [01:29:01] [SPEAKER_06]: the band Oasis definitely came before the game. [01:29:04] [SPEAKER_02]: So Rob, I know what your next question is. [01:29:05] [SPEAKER_02]: Is the game based off of the band? [01:29:08] [SPEAKER_02]: It's somehow. [01:29:10] [SPEAKER_06]: Is there an Easter egg in there? [01:29:11] [SPEAKER_07]: The British band well known for their Arabian sound. [01:29:15] [SPEAKER_06]: Oh yeah, so the band Oasis came out in 91. [01:29:19] [SPEAKER_06]: This game came out in 92. [01:29:21] [SPEAKER_06]: So. [01:29:22] [SPEAKER_06]: Oh, so no. [01:29:24] [SPEAKER_07]: Close, but. [01:29:25] [SPEAKER_07]: The game is based off of Liam and Noel Gallagher. [01:29:28] [SPEAKER_06]: Maybe the Oasis bros, Bob Oasis himself. [01:29:32] [SPEAKER_06]: He was like, hey, there's this game coming out [01:29:35] [SPEAKER_06]: on the Game Gear in one year called Defenders of Oasis. [01:29:39] [SPEAKER_06]: It sounds bitching, I'm doing a terrible British accent, [01:29:42] [SPEAKER_06]: but they were like. [01:29:43] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, let's be Oasis, here's Wonderwall. [01:29:47] [SPEAKER_07]: Crikey. [01:29:48] [SPEAKER_07]: You're not offending every single person [01:29:50] [SPEAKER_07]: in Great Britain right now. [01:29:53] [SPEAKER_06]: All right, Jerry. [01:29:54] [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah. [01:29:55] [SPEAKER_06]: Play us out. [01:29:57] [SPEAKER_07]: Play us out? [01:29:57] [SPEAKER_07]: Do I get to do my last pick? [01:29:59] [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, yeah, that's what I meant, I'm sorry. [01:30:00] [SPEAKER_06]: Play us out with your last pick. [01:30:01] [SPEAKER_06]: I was like, we're leaving? [01:30:02] [SPEAKER_07]: I didn't. [01:30:05] [SPEAKER_07]: So I can't get enough Super Nintendo in my life, [01:30:10] [SPEAKER_07]: so I usually kind of trickle back to it. [01:30:15] [SPEAKER_07]: I mentioned a game that was made by Enix [01:30:19] [SPEAKER_07]: on the Super Nintendo and on the episode [01:30:21] [SPEAKER_07]: that we did with Quest 64 Mike, [01:30:24] [SPEAKER_07]: because it was a game that was up for debate [01:30:26] [SPEAKER_07]: about the mechanics of the game [01:30:28] [SPEAKER_07]: and whether or not it would be considered an RPG, [01:30:31] [SPEAKER_07]: and that's EVO, The Search for Eden. [01:30:35] [SPEAKER_07]: So this game that I'm talking about now though [01:30:37] [SPEAKER_07]: is not that game, but what I kind of wanted [01:30:39] [SPEAKER_07]: to shed a light on is the fact that Enix [01:30:42] [SPEAKER_07]: was making some kind of different kinds [01:30:44] [SPEAKER_07]: of RPGs on the Super Nintendo. [01:30:46] [SPEAKER_07]: They did the Legend of, sorry, The Illusion of Gaia, [01:30:51] [SPEAKER_07]: which was fantastic. [01:30:53] [SPEAKER_07]: It was kind of like a top-down action RPG, [01:30:56] [SPEAKER_07]: very similar to like a Zelda type thing. [01:30:59] [SPEAKER_07]: They also did the follow up to that, [01:31:02] [SPEAKER_07]: which was Terra Enigma, same type of thing, [01:31:05] [SPEAKER_07]: also kind of an obscure game, [01:31:07] [SPEAKER_07]: but still not as obscure as I want it to be. [01:31:10] [SPEAKER_07]: No, no, no, I'm talking about Robo Trek. [01:31:14] [SPEAKER_05]: Ooh. [01:31:15] [SPEAKER_05]: Fuck yeah. [01:31:16] [SPEAKER_07]: Robo Trek is such a cool fucking game. [01:31:19] [SPEAKER_07]: It has an amazing art style, super colorful, [01:31:23] [SPEAKER_07]: really unique kind of system. [01:31:25] [SPEAKER_07]: In a way it's kind of like custom robo in a weird way. [01:31:30] [SPEAKER_07]: Whoa. [01:31:31] [SPEAKER_07]: Yes! [01:31:32] [SPEAKER_07]: You get to build your robot [01:31:34] [SPEAKER_07]: and you make your robot the way that you want. [01:31:37] [SPEAKER_07]: And it's all about customizing this robot. [01:31:41] [SPEAKER_07]: And it's just so fun. [01:31:44] [SPEAKER_07]: And like, it's a lighthearted, easy to play game. [01:31:46] [SPEAKER_07]: It's not like gonna break your mind. [01:31:48] [SPEAKER_07]: You're not gonna get into some crazy fucking drama [01:31:52] [SPEAKER_07]: or romance or nothing like this. [01:31:53] [SPEAKER_07]: It's just a fun fucking game [01:31:55] [SPEAKER_02]: that nobody fucking knows about. [01:31:57] [SPEAKER_02]: Club the Little Guy. [01:31:59] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah. The main character. [01:32:00] [SPEAKER_02]: It's just got a look, you know? [01:32:01] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, it has a look. [01:32:03] [SPEAKER_07]: And it's just so much fun. [01:32:06] [SPEAKER_07]: And I've gotten probably like halfway through it, [01:32:10] [SPEAKER_07]: but I've never fully finished it. [01:32:12] [SPEAKER_07]: And I always kind of want to go back to this one. [01:32:15] [SPEAKER_07]: This is one that I definitely want to cross out [01:32:18] [SPEAKER_07]: my bucket list at some point soon. [01:32:21] [SPEAKER_07]: And again, I don't think it's that long of a game. [01:32:25] [SPEAKER_02]: The art's giving me like Dragon Ball Z vibes. [01:32:30] [SPEAKER_06]: Oh, it's a- Legacy of Goku? [01:32:31] [SPEAKER_07]: It's 23 hours. [01:32:33] [SPEAKER_06]: Oh. That's not bad. [01:32:35] [SPEAKER_06]: That's pretty good. [01:32:36] [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, it's about the length of like Chrono Trigger. [01:32:38] [SPEAKER_07]: Chrono Trigger's also not a long, long game. [01:32:41] [SPEAKER_06]: But- God damn it. [01:32:42] [SPEAKER_07]: What I will say in closing for all my shit [01:32:46] [SPEAKER_07]: and the obscurity ranging from one end to the other [01:32:51] [SPEAKER_07]: in my picks, not all these games are gonna top [01:32:55] [SPEAKER_07]: like a Chrono Trigger or any of that stuff. [01:32:57] [SPEAKER_07]: Right. [01:32:57] [SPEAKER_07]: But the thing that I always love about an obscure RPG, [01:33:01] [SPEAKER_07]: they stand out more to me over time. [01:33:03] [SPEAKER_07]: I will remember the weird shit over like [01:33:07] [SPEAKER_07]: what the fuck happened in the third act of Chrono Trigger. [01:33:11] [SPEAKER_07]: Like the intricacies of what happened there. [01:33:14] [SPEAKER_07]: But I'll remember like, oh yeah, Shadow Hearts [01:33:16] [SPEAKER_07]: has that fucking weird dial that you like [01:33:19] [SPEAKER_07]: do timed hits on. [01:33:20] [SPEAKER_07]: Like I'll remember that. [01:33:21] [SPEAKER_07]: But if you're like- Right. [01:33:23] [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, it's just something about that stuff [01:33:25] [SPEAKER_07]: that sticks out to me. [01:33:25] [SPEAKER_07]: And I find that infinitely more interesting [01:33:28] [SPEAKER_07]: than most RPGs that are really good RPGs, [01:33:33] [SPEAKER_07]: but kind of run of the mill. [01:33:34] [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah. If that makes sense. [01:33:37] [SPEAKER_04]: I agree with that 100%. [01:33:38] [SPEAKER_04]: Like I think of all of these weird titles [01:33:41] [SPEAKER_04]: that I've played over the years. [01:33:43] [SPEAKER_04]: And I'm like, you made like a core memory [01:33:46] [SPEAKER_04]: playing those titles. [01:33:47] [SPEAKER_04]: Like those- Yeah. [01:33:48] [SPEAKER_04]: There's always with you because like [01:33:50] [SPEAKER_04]: you know a lot of people didn't play them. [01:33:51] [SPEAKER_04]: So you couldn't really talk about them [01:33:53] [SPEAKER_04]: with like everyone else because they're like, [01:33:55] [SPEAKER_04]: I didn't play it because it wasn't mainstream. [01:33:58] [SPEAKER_04]: So it's just like, it's like a secret to yourself. [01:34:00] [SPEAKER_04]: Like, I remember I played this part [01:34:01] [SPEAKER_04]: and it was like really, really weird and kooky. [01:34:02] [SPEAKER_04]: But like no one else knows. [01:34:04] [SPEAKER_07]: Well dude, that's like back in the day [01:34:05] [SPEAKER_07]: playing Suikoden. [01:34:07] [SPEAKER_07]: Nobody knew what that fucking game was.

[01:37:04] [SPEAKER_06]: I got Nostalgia, which is the name of a game on DS [01:37:07] [SPEAKER_06]: and Valkyrie Profile Covenant of the Plume. [01:37:10] Mm-hmm. [01:37:11] All right. [01:37:12] [SPEAKER_04]: The Valkyrie Chronicle games, I just, I never could. [01:37:15] [SPEAKER_04]: I know there's a lot of them and they're good. [01:37:18] [SPEAKER_04]: I just- [01:37:18] [SPEAKER_06]: I think there's only three. [01:37:19] [SPEAKER_06]: There's just Valkyrie Profile, Valkyrie Profile 2, [01:37:23] [SPEAKER_06]: which I think was on PS2 and then Covenant of the Plume [01:37:27] [SPEAKER_06]: on DS, I think. [01:37:28] [SPEAKER_06]: I'm probably wrong. [01:37:30] [SPEAKER_07]: Actually, I have two more honorable mentions [01:37:32] [SPEAKER_07]: because I didn't write all my shit down [01:37:33] [SPEAKER_07]: but there was a couple other ones. [01:37:35] [SPEAKER_07]: Have you guys played Vagrant Story? [01:37:37] [SPEAKER_04]: I've heard of it. [01:37:38] [SPEAKER_07]: Never played it but I've heard of it.

[01:37:42] [SPEAKER_07]: It had like a targeting system almost like [01:37:44] [SPEAKER_07]: follow threes like Vats thing where like [01:37:46] [SPEAKER_07]: you target like different body parts [01:37:47] [SPEAKER_07]: and it gave you like a percentage of like [01:37:49] [SPEAKER_07]: how much of a chance you had to hit that [01:37:50] [SPEAKER_07]: and like destroy that body part. [01:37:53] [SPEAKER_07]: Very fucking cool game. [01:37:54] [SPEAKER_07]: And it's also like some weird like spin-off [01:37:56] [SPEAKER_07]: of like Romeo and Juliet or something.

[01:38:09] [SPEAKER_07]: We can consult with Quest 64 Mike on this [01:38:11] [SPEAKER_07]: but it's somewhat of an RPG. [01:38:15] [SPEAKER_07]: It's like a survival horror action RPG kind of thing. [01:38:18] [SPEAKER_07]: Almost like the way that Parasite Eve 2 [01:38:20] [SPEAKER_07]: was kind of like a Resident Evil RPG. [01:38:24] [SPEAKER_06]: Okay, that is it.
