I'm one of your host Greg Miller all alongside the Master of Hypes. No, Mike Mike. Good morning, Greg. Great to see you today. Good to see you, Mike. Yeah, good to meet you. Great Monday. Excited for today's gamescast topic, y'all. Next to you, of course, the one the only. It's Lucy James from gamespot.com. Thanks for hanging out. You know, make the track out here. Track out here. I feel like you got to stay. You got to do an morning together. It's right. It's great. Thanks, Lucy. And then, of course, he's the Hispanic car throughout Texas street. Latino heat, clicking heads, ripping him to shreds. The globe, trotten, head, shotten, ruten, tootten, three point shooting. Nitro rifle from twitch.tv.

3:01You need to court test. You nailed it, Greg. It's just the ruten, tootman. I got it. So it's RT before 3p. That's what I got in my head now. Oh, okay. I'm reprogramming. I do that. I do that. I just realized that, you know, last week when I was like, man, Greg, you're setting out all these code requests. You know, I was in a Helsinki, man. Yeah. I got to re-request all these things. I wasn't seeing them. I was in flights. I was in a different country. Different time issues. Turns out I had that channel muted. Yeah. Yeah. And I think I had a muted because I was like, I was scared to see notifications pop up while I was streaming one day. You know, for like embargo purposes, you know, I appreciate that. I appreciate that. I do the eight-hour mute. The what? The eight-hour mute. Oh, yeah. So then it like comes back. I hadn't even considered that. Wow. Muted at your own discretion. I like that. That's good. Do you feel, Andy, this would just be to you. I know Mike doesn't even look at Slack.

4:01Do you feel when I send a late night Slack, you need to respond to it right away? Oh, hold it. What is it? You're a late night Slacker? Not on purpose. So you can schedule that. I know. But you often actually in the, you can ask the audience or maybe if they're not watching at the moment, they might not see it. But I do a lot of oftentimes hit send it and undo it and then schedule send because I'm just, I'm just, but it's that thing where when I can find the gaps, I fill them. But I, there was, this comes up because I saw it on some Instagram, whatever, where somebody was talking about how they appreciated their boss or somebody they were interviewing or whatever saying, Hey, this, I've said this when it was at a time, can we need to me? This is like an email signature. Don't feel you need. Got you. Oh, that's an interesting thing I never thought about because when I'm slacking at night, if I am slacking and just forget about it, it's either bullshit or it is just the, oh, I'm, this is when I had the fucking free second to go through my inbox to get the thing to do. It depends on the priority of it, you know? I just feel like if there was ever something I actually needed you guys for, I would text. Like in terms of like, it is an emergency.

5:02Like I wouldn't, I don't want you to bear it obviously. Greg, you're a great boss, man. Oh, thanks. You're a good boss. Thanks. I try. You better go. I'm saying I've seen a lot of late night slacks that end with if you don't respond to this now. It's over. It's over. It expects. But that's your telltale that this is bullshit. How much do you like when I popped in your stream on Friday? And I was like, how's it feel stealing for me? I was watching my sorrows footage, which by the way, like, I don't know. I probably should return that solid state drive. Don't. No, that's yours. See, why did you say it on content? Now you got to do it. Well, it's Amazon. They don't know. They're not listening. You know what I mean? Because just thing, Lucy. Oh, you bought it. We get the notification from house smart. We both jumped at you. You would play station. Yeah. No, no, no, no. No, it was, it was like, hey, we're going to need a two terabyte minimum. And I was like, oh, why? First, that's insane. Turns out we were recording on the Shogun machines. The Shogun devices record lossless video. Yeah.

6:02So it was three and a half hours of sorrows footage, 1.3 terabytes. Yeah, Christ. I had to clear so much shit off to even unzip the file to get it on my PC. It was, it was a nightmare to deal with. Yeah, it was, it was not great. So I was a little bit that hard drive, but it's kind of cute. It's a cute little hard drive. It's like the little one. Yeah, little, yeah, little Sandisk one. Yeah, I got that. Do you expense it? No, because I like to return it. Right off. Maybe I expense it. Then I return it anyway. Bonus money. Bro, you are so bad at doing this. Like, I wasn't saying yes as you did expense it. Feel free to keep it. Yeah, do whatever you want. If you didn't argue, this is the kind of funny games cast.

7:02Top of the show. Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop. It's a watch you've been playing episode, but it's headlined by the Super Meat Boy 3D review, because Big Snow, Bike, Mike, the fucking hawk, Yeah, played it. He's all fucking crazy. He went through and played this game and beat it. Of course, if you don't know, Super Meat Boy 3D, 3D steam description. I love is the infamous toughest nails platformer now in 3D yet an extra dimension the dev is a slugger fly alongside team meet the publisher head up alongside g-cores Publishing Mike what is your history with super meat boy because of course this is one of those games That took over IGN. It is that old for me. That's how long I remember super meat boy 2010 dropping from team meet being the star of that indie game the movie dropping again being tough His nails my Xbox being set up. There was a god. I'm so sorry. I can't remember his last name

8:02But a kid named Ben and IGN who worked on the like sales team who would just come over and for hours Play at my desk when we would pass the controller and screw around like it was a game We all adored at IGN, but Mike you're a big Xbox guy. Were you all about this back then? No, I've never played a team meet game I've never played a super meat boy game. This was my first time ever playing a meat boy game I've kind of got interested in it. Thanks to steam next fest. Oh nice. I am a Doritos crash course one and two of course And a trials guy so I like the fun beat this in X amount of time obstacle course But I've never played a Celeste a meat boy a super Mario maker So for me this was all new and fun and exciting and so yeah, I found myself falling in love with this finished at about 15 hours as of this morning 83% Complete towards the 100% on the game and yeah, that just shows you I did fall in love with this because you can I mean each level beats anywhere between 30 seconds to a minute and 20 at most rights depending on your speed and where you're going

9:04But I beat this game a couple days ago and then just kind of fell in love with the challenge of well Let me a plus every single Map here, which is beating in the a lot of time that they give you to say you're going really fast Let me find every collectible hidden on this cool 3d map, which was very fun and challenging in a number of them And then now go to the challenge underworld and complete all of those in certain amount of time So I'm deep into this. I'm loving it and having a really good time Give me the top level again I think it's a funny steam description the infamous tough is nails platformer now in 3d If you were talking to somebody and try who's maybe an audio listener and can't see it and didn't play the 2010 2d version. Yeah, how do you describe super me boy 3d Oh, man, that's so funny because I'm not the super me boy guy So if I was to describe it to my friends I would say if you're looking for a toughest nails 3d platformer where every button press has to be precise Every landing has to be perfect where you go for your best time and you're interested in time trial runs

10:04This would be a game for you, right? And then I would point towards like Doritos crash course Celeste and I'd be like these are games that would get you into it I played Ori but always more metroidvania than this, but it is all about the platform Astrobot. Oh, that's true. Yeah, I don't know if I played those Astrobot's been a blur to me. I enjoyed it. It's kind of fun game again I don't really hold tight to Astro But yeah, that's what I would describe it to and I would say hey, this is a really fun packed game There's a challenging game. Yeah, it's a game that you're going to grip your controller And you're going to question after 15 hours is this controller broken now? Sarah Bond, if you're listening, please send me a new one. I miss you. Oh, wait She says she has this way. She has your address. She's just by it now You've got to buy like anybody else. So yeah, that's where I'm at right now. That's what I would describe it to my friend Well, you know, what I've always loved about the original supermeat boy And then for my limited time with 3d of course, I played it at the switch event here for GDC We had code so I've tinkered with it here and there But the reason I've always been drawn to what I think Mike and what keeps me coming back to it is

11:09It is that as long as you want to play a game where it is these levels Yeah, obviously could be as short as mere seconds or you know, you get stuck on it you grind forever But I often feel that like you get in there and that you run in there's the giant spinning Meat grinder. There's this obstacle. Whatever is going to kill you kills you But then you're right back to it and it it is that like I'm gonna do the skin I'm gonna do the skin. I'm gonna do the skin and it's the my I think something that you know years later So less did so well which was you just have to get past this screen Can you get past this image of it to get to the next thing and then we'll start you here Supermeat boy levels are usually so small and bite size that it is all right You get past that screen and then you die in the next thing you have to do it again But you you're doing the muscle memory. You're learning what you're doing right like it's funny You bring it up great because yeah, it's not get past this great and supermeat boy to me It is yeah, get past this obstacle then find the next obstacle dying like you said It is that muscle memory that you're starting to learn and remember what's next What do I got to do here and the excitement of seeing what is that next screen or what is that next obstacle right

12:12There was always a thrill to me when it was the time trials when I was rerunning levels or just the new experiments of like Hey, what is this to find that next obstacle go okay cool I'm gonna jump up and to the right then I got a quick dash to the left and then move forward It's a ton of fun and yet the Platforming feels very tight and precise. I will say after 15 hours. I don't know if it was the controller breaking or if it was the game I did feel a little bit of like desync and lack of responsiveness on some of the buttons throughout like later Parts of my gameplay, but when you play it all the way through it feels tight. It feels precise But I think I just abused this controller yeah There's that but I also know you know during previews Roger talked about the fact that like the 3D aspect Opened it up a bit more for him and let making it feel airy where he wasn't sure where he was in placement You know 2d me boy was so quick so fast but with this that the other I like the 3d I mean playing Mario Odyssey last year. I'm always into a fun kind of 3d space and finding those cool

13:12Platforming levels right that we talked about with Astro bot and others then we kind of grew up with banjo Conquer for me and like I like exploring the space. I like jumping and missing that ledge by just a little bit They do a good job. They put a red circle where you're gonna land so you can really see like hey I got to move a little bit closer and there like Roger said that's kind of a give and take You'll learn you'll get better at where that circle is really gonna be and so yeah I'd love the 3d space of it. I will be Interested when I jump into super me boy 2d if I vibe are you gonna go back? Yeah, I bought Steam next-fest sale. I bought a bunch of games. I bought all the Batman games. I bought super me boy I was buying Jedi games by them all. Yeah, support steam. You know, you got it man. It seems gonna go in need help Um Mike for the structure of this game. I I played super me boy kind of passively with friends back in the day when it was that first thing on the Xbox arcade that I remember All that type of thing. Yeah, and And this was back in the day after watching on indie game the movie and like being like oh shit

14:13This is a really cool story about these developers But I don't really remember a whole lot of the game structure this game has the overworld right and then You do about 10 to 15 missions and then there's a boss battle. I don't remember the old game having boss battles I don't think there were I think there would just progressively harder and harder mission. That's how I remember yeah I haven't played a whole lot of this game, but I did get to the first boss battle It did have boss levels. Okay, the way they're presented in this game makes it feel more like hey We're designing this like a like a 3d boss battle where I feel like the That it feels kind of like this spectacle where I think the The boss battles for super me boy felt a bit more like Integrated into a lot of just like the platforming things So they didn't like really stand out as much where is they they make them a very big deal I feel like I'm sorry Barrett corny have you played this game as well. Yes. I've played it. I beat it yesterday finally

15:14The because I haven't had too much time, but Yeah, a plus every level have got I know Almost every bandage. There's three levels. I need to like talk to Mike about because like I've spent Like two hours on just three levels looking for some of the collectibles and I can't for the life of me It's making me insane But yeah, I have I've beaten it. What do you think? I think it's great I think it's a great adaptation of super me boy like making it into the 3d space It's a fun excuse to get back into this world and into this gameplay Like Mike was saying like I like the controls it it feels the way that they've translated it to 3d Feels good reminds me of playing it back with my friends back in 2010 And just getting really really angry at it. It's a great feeling being angry I would say the transition to 3d Not like the best at all times Like we were just talking about with boss fights. I think the boss fights are I don't know the

16:16It's one of those I would have rather than not do boss fights for this one They kind of feel uninspired and they kind of feel like quick and let it felt like they just did them just because They felt like the last one did it. So they felt the the need to do it here So some some stuff like that around like I'm not really getting anything out of this and they feel weirdly easy And so stuff like that and then there's also just like kind of like Distance aware like what's the the thing that I'm dead perception death perception troubles I think this game runs into that reminds me of like early crash bandicoot Which I think could add to the frustration in some really interesting ways But in other ways I think like does in some ways come off a little A clunky here and there but besides that I think it's a great kind of like 3d remake and it surprised me like how much of this felt like oh yeah This is just super me boy, but 3d. So yeah, I would say overall I had a great time. I would give it a solid eat

17:16Okay, okay, Michael do you feel I would go with a solid it. I think this is a great game is right so ton of fun You're definitely gonna get a plenty of time worth right as Andy brought up There is five worlds in this Andy 15 levels per world with one boss fight per world So you're gonna have five boss fights there and then when you a plus every single top side world You under you unlock the underworld which is the same as that. So there's five underworld World maps on that with all 15 levels on that all brand new Yes, they're very similar to the top side level of it But I would call them more challenge rooms of like very bite-sized smaller Okay, so this if that top side mission felt like 40 seconds the bottom one felt like 22 seconds And so it felt like hey, we're gonna make this more challenging little bit smaller But we're gonna have even more to the game that you can go out and play which I thought was really cool Bandages and every single one of the top side missions So that will unlock fun cosmetics for you to change up super me boy

18:16Haven't become band-aid girl or the guy with the top hat who's the evil genius right there So that was fun to chase those there's also even more to it right there's parts of the level that I've never seen that Barrett saw that you kind of just kind of Find in the world. There's these weird like I don't know what you call those bands. I know there's like secret levels Yeah, at one point I found like I decided I had inkling to fall into like this weird little tube That like when I say that out loud It it sounds like it like really stuck a stood out like a sore thumb But in the the way it's integrated into the level it's very innocuous I think is the word that I'm known and And then the game turned into a top-down Game where I was driving a truck and I hated that Yeah, oh you found that as well. Yeah, I'm I'm immediate like I tried about four trials like why am I doing this? This sucks. I don't like it so it's very confusing it for like so you find like like Like that and like little easter egg levels and at first I was like what the fuck is the point of this level

19:17What am I supposed to do and then I realized? Oh, I'm supposed to run into buildings to clear out of a path for this big Truck that's like chasing me almost and then it's like hauling a big missile Yeah, and if it hits buildings it'll explode and I was very confused by it too It's very confusing very weird, but then at the end of it that unlocks a new character I can play as which is the truck Like I can place the to meet And that just like I think they nail like bringing it back to that kind of like 2010 era indie games where they're just doing like weird funky cool little things For for people to find and get obsessed over trying to find every little detail right That that reminds me of you know the the super meat boy or like bitrunner and stuff like that. Sure Sure because I was gonna say because I have to compare everything to Dark Souls I would be so fascinated to see a mod Implemented a PC mod implemented to this game where you aren't limited to the eight axes of control of of like direction

20:20You know because in this game. It's you're either up. You're upright. You're right. You're down right. You're down You know, it's like sure that there are you don't have the full 360 sort of directionality that you could face and I I'm pretty shit at this game and I there's plenty of moments where I'm like I wasn't holding the con I wasn't doing diagonal there I swear I was doing up or or I wasn't doing like right there. I was doing you know So there's a lot of moments like that where you feel like you're gonna make that jump and suddenly Your character snaps to the other direction is like oh fucker. I didn't really and a lot of that is like It's definitely a get good moment But I would be more fascinating to see if I gel with the game more With a bit more like degrees of movement and and sort of like what direction Yeah, cuz I I'm enjoying it so far. I think I got to I haven't played the second boss yet I haven't started that yet But I've I've done did the second world you Mike said you you said there were like four or five Um, yeah, I mean, I'm enjoying it for sure. Um, it does remind me of you know the

21:25That just stupid You know, I have to do this regardless of how I'm feeling right now. It's just it's for my pride kind of yeah Definitely and then you beat a mission and you go, oh, but I could do it faster And it just reminds me of like the Mario maker sort of vibes that I You know, you were so known for Mario maker I was wondering if this would become streaming fodder for you if you think you'll be out there torturing yourself Possibly, I mean, I do after just several hours of playing it You like I feel oh man my hands are tired right now. Yeah, I can't and there will be times where I failed And I'm like, oh, it's because my hands are just tired and reminds you of the way my hands would get tired in a in a silk song boss fight Where I just go I feel it right now and I'm trying to like dodge at the right moments But my hands aren't responding the way it's you know, it's all what happens all great athletes Well, I was gonna ask about that because this looks like a game that I will Touch this. Did you play the original? A bit like back in the day everyone Everyone did But it's like my repetitive strain injury could never are there any accessibility things that they have done

22:30For the elder gamer amongst us. I haven't fully looked into it for those who maybe can't use it Great question It's just interesting to me now or it's like I respect this kind of game where it's like this is the game that you are Throwing yourself against the grind and again and again and again, but it's like I just can't Like even even just holding a controller for too long like if I don't I remap stuff a lot like if this could be Or remapping yeah, like just to make it easier. I got that dash on the backpad. I'm like I'm a back I'm a back paddle. Yeah, yeah, they're the best things about the elite. We're back paddlers now Everybody needs to get on board with the back paddling look It's the elite way. It's a new age It's a new century Put down over at iga.com and one of their previews loose they did call out If you linger in the main menu a bit longer you find yourself wandering into robust settings menu Which reveals decently comprehensive accessibility options. So that's all we have There's something there for everybody. I mean this has them to do with the podcast

23:30But there's a merchant giveaway happening in the twitch chat You have to come to the twitch chat to win and you have an exclamation point enter I'm going to know Ken Jr. Did God the Jen Jr. I'm going to try to win the more speaking of the twitch chat It was asked over there how much this costs. It is 25 bucks over. Oh, I imagine it's everywhere That way but more importantly it is on game pass at launch So you could just jump in like I believe the original was but maybe it predates game pass But I remember it was such it would have been you would have been paying Microsoft points. Ah as we all did. Yeah, that was the currency we traded it back then like you have no 800 Microsoft points for a game And it was always the best because like it doesn't equal out to what you want at all You could never four night V bucks back and then you're like just make it even No, you can never buy just 800 you know, that's by a thousand and then stuff would be 1200 So then you'd end up buying the guy you fucker. Yeah, smart Smart plan. They've been honest forever. You know what I mean? It might just always pay you for I'm always on for it. I can't wait to jump in. I'm going to jump into WWE 2k 26 And I'm going to buy the battle pass on that see what I can do on the island

24:33Yeah, then are you going to go on that guy you're going to do the thing where you have the deluxe edition and you you paid on lock all the superstars as well You're gonna earn them in them. That's a big question. I don't have time to earn them. So I will pay for them Yeah, yeah, yeah, this is fucking Christ here Well, one thing I would love and see where me boy though is like when we talk about accessibility And you know if you're having issues with that perception I would love a kind of semi-transparent Just like plain of grid beneath right where his feet are sure So that like because there are several times where it's like I don't know how close I am to the ground there and I would love to see like As soon as the the grid sort of passes through You're like, oh now I'm above it or now I'm below. It's kind of hard to explain for you know in an audio medium But yeah, that is one thing I would sort of like to see because there are plenty of moments where I go Okay, I just got to wait longer there, but I can't really tell I mean they do a great job of having to circle underneath So you know where you are landing right at all moments. There's always just like this floating sort of like, you know

25:36Sphere underneath them shadow Yeah, I mean, it's kind of just like a red circle, you know It looks like the emoji of just like a red ring, you know And and that's great to know where you are in that space But when you're talking about like the the x-axis, it's really hard to kind of tell fair Like here's where the floor is, you know, I think we're how that cloud saves though aren't working what's going on What what's going on? No, no, you want to be like I want to know. Yeah, that happens sometimes me You know they said no neither are they not supported I don't mean sometimes. It's probably just because of the build. Maybe I'm hoping you know. Oh, yeah Yeah, you gonna be I wonder how much that you know, it is also then chalked up to the you know Level on your x-axis is you're talking about of how they want you to play this where they do want you to fail right? Feeling is a big part of seeing your blood trail all over it if it is that idea of seeing okay Well this time coming. I know not to jump that high there coming this do this You really feel how to accomplish me even those micro things because again, that's how I feel about it We're just finishing a level gives me such a sense of like I did it

26:37Were there any leaderboards mic or bear it I would have loved that yeah, I would have that that's one that stood out to me That's a weird one. It's like the how big the kind of level-based speed running community has really built up a past like kind of just its niche in the last few years. It's a weird one where it's like Yeah, this should have this should have a leaderboard kind of system It feels very weird that it doesn't yeah thinking about then the you know How much we Got addicted to the neon white and me seeing Jeff Rob go above and then bear go above and then right to go above Astro bot when it was grow up exchanger scores back forth. That would have been you know I feel like that's kind of a big miss and but legitimately that feels like something they could go day one We're adding leaderboards to it man. I unfriended people because of hitman Remember remember when returnal when we were all reviewing returnal and it would notify your friends when someone would die Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, you'd get like a notification so and so fucking died. You're like, oh man sucks for that

27:43It's really odd. Yeah, so Mike Super me boy 3d I thumbs up. You're giving that one. Oh, it thumbs up. Yeah, come on a great price tag on that with 25 Great time lot of fun. You're into break your controller try to beat the best time. Yeah, this is it.

31:52He goes on to say can't wait for the playoffs also Lucy rules Thank you so much for all you do and speaking about taking care of your mental health. Oh, thank you I appreciate that and then to weezy says I don't know if it's the lighting or what but the panel is looking well fit today Oh, wow, where's on point today is this shirt? Yeah, what is this one? So they bridge? Yeah, because they said well fit well fit fit probably I don't know look rough well fit rough well fit Ah Lucy tell me about the game you've been playing rac coin rac coin like raccoon, right? That was coin. Yeah, okay. Okay. It's a coin pusher road like a coin put. Yes, so You know when you go to an arcade and you have those coin pusher machines that are just you know They they gobble up all your money and you never ever drop the token and you push it much over and you're like never win anything You don't even drop a token. You don't even understand what's happening half the game dropping an actual coin So it's even worse because you can see exactly where my money is going. Yeah, and it's nowhere good And but it's the type of game Lucy that you look at you're like there's no way that my quarter will not affect everything You will immediately shout out everything that like I see I see that little prize hovering on the edge

32:56I just need to put one 50 p in away we go a 50 p note like a one p one come on one p we're not rich Um So this is a game from The publisher is play stack who did publish bilatro and this game Yeah, it sure borrows from the bilatro formula a lot. I spent like two hours non-stop playing it yesterday I Love it. It's a roguelite. So basically all you're doing is with the With the triggers you are just pressing them and you're putting a coin and press put a coin All right, and then you just watch him go in really just you're the old lady Pissed myself in the seat because I don't want to get up because I'm on a run This is it and mine the machine is gonna pay off. Yeah, let me give you this steam description Coin pushing dopamine machine All right, it's right is a rogue like deck builder where you combine special coins with powerful items to trigger wildly satisfying combos Stack shiny towers spin the lucky wheel and shake the machine until all the coins drop

33:58It is I mean yes, the dopamine was was hitting so the thing is I was playing it on my my roguelite my roguelite and I will see like there's a lot going on in these menus a lot That I wasn't necessarily getting I was not really reading the Coin descriptions or anything I was expanding my clip and putting basically everything in there and then it was very I'd have a few favorites. Okay. I was like had one where it was like a little black hole and every coin caught in the black hole would be Would be caught up in score see here You've got like poisoned coins and stuff and then you can also get coins that attack Then I unlocked another guy and I was um breeding animals I think you're gonna say like I unlocked a man who just sat next to me in the machine next to me I would smoke So but the thing is is that I've kind of felt like that didn't matter obviously it would matter to make You know like if you were making builds and you know you have your favorite coins and you have these but these specific builds You're building to get to the end of levels and get it then around but for me honestly it was just so meditative to just

35:02Shoot out a bunch of coins because I think they have a really good amount of time between you Putting a coin in and you getting some kind of reward for it You believe that score. Okay, and then the fact that you've got combos and then you can just throw these coins in To like really get the big score. It's Yeah, it's it's it's More hitting that dopamine rush for me than Bellatro was Bellatro. I feel like you're quite more thinking Yeah, and even now I feel like I'm not exactly familiar with all the poker hands that I should be despite playing dozens of hours of Bellatro Whereas this it's like coin goes in yeah coin comes out sometimes a black hole appears and sometimes a tower of stuff appears It's great. Are you ever? super decisively Putting down the coin at the right moment or you're just hitting the buttons regardless. I so I was getting to the point where Like I could see even here in this b-roll right? It's like on the left hand side there'd be a bunch So I would only be firing the right one to get coins there and then I would fire both of them at the same time

36:02And then they join in the middle then you'd help. Oh wow and then here you see like that that thing That that calls a UFO in later on That's why you can block you can put stuff down the blocks. You can kind of funnel all the game. Oh wow Honestly, this is a really really great second-screen game. Oh, yeah And I mean that with the like the highest compliment Yeah, yeah, it is a ball pit. It is a I'm watching my trash I Don't need to pay full attention to that. Well don't call all KG trash. Come on. They're good. I would never I love those boys I was watching five episodes of Vanderpump rules. Oh, wow. That's trash. That is trash. However Skandoval is coming up again. I don't know what it is. Don't tell me. Oh, I don't like we are literally going to do it We only know it through osmosis of Tim and Joey We're literally going to Tim and Gias to watch scam. Oh wow. He's treating you like an Avengers level You know, it's big If he's got a break on the theater So yeah, see here like a tower stacking

37:04I but and then there's like a spinning wheel. This is when I look at this This looks like a game that will that people are playing like in Rick and Morty or something It looks like when you have on like the desktop games that play themselves. Oh Lupeiro awesome. Yeah, out of ones my question loose as a fellow ROG handheld user Is it playing well with that because I see a lot of mouse movement? So I didn't know if it was okay Are you just using joystick? I was just using the sticks. Okay, the one thing I would say is that I mean this is my Broder criticism for games like this is that that kind of pixily font. I find very difficult to read Yeah, I would love an option to just have Lot of games do that. Yeah, a lot of games do the you know We'll turn off that pixel fun. Give you classic, but I didn't really explore in the in the menu So maybe you can do it as an accessibility setting, but I was like I can't And that's the thing that's where I feel like I need to see it played on a bigger screen because I want to get more into the build craftings Part of it, but it was a very relaxing game Tutorial super you know just gets you in on the ground running the shop like rerolls felt fair

38:07You can also exchange so if you run out of coins In the top corner you hit why and you exchange and you have a limited number of exchanges So it also just means that like you may start around with only 20 coins and you're like that's not gonna be enough And no, it's not, but you can exchange And you can also use your tickets to get prizes and the prizes are the the big items that let you you know Like get a lot of points and a lot of coins in and those are a target for each other I'm gonna do something I rarely do in this podcast can everybody just stop talking and bear can you bring up the volume of the game Just because I want like what's it gonna do sonically for me? That's the thing We get a lot of like nice coin drop edges of audio That's that's where I'm at the ball pit I got all the This feels good for my brain, but I want to know what the coin sound like bear it Sorry, the other one I think was like a commentary video. Okay. Thank you. You you crush it with the speed on that Sounds nice. Yeah, I mean it sounds real good

39:08That might sound me I'm getting it. Yeah, this spot out what now imagine like a bunch of them just go Yeah Lose it looks like there's a kind of a CRT filter Is that in the game always or is that like one of these accessibility type settings? Don't know didn't or just video settings are what I see you I a hot man. I could no Yeah, but I'm going to have a look So I didn't even bring my frog out of it. I could have been playing it on bot On the way down here. Oh, see this one that I pulled up doesn't it seems to be less pronounced. Yeah Anything so it might just be a setting. Gotcha. Oh, yeah, and there's different people that you Creatures that you play as so the first one that you're a raccoon who's a manager And then the next one you're a biologist and that's why I was like breeding animals and oh I there's a lot to oh my god chips. So stolen. Oh my god See what I mean dopamine dopamine dopamine Michael you said nothing. Does this do anything for you? Do you think you'll play this one? Oh, yeah, actually this is the game that I try to put on the stream this week with me and roger

40:10Unfortunately, he is busy. So I change the game But my concern Lucy is I fell in love with ballacho because of the kind of strategy of it all right Really thinking through the poker hands. I'm already sold on this game And I know I will play it, but I guess I look at this and I go where is the strategy? Is there even strategy like shop? You know, I think ballacho really got me because I was thinking outside the box this one I love putting down coins I love the modifier. So we'll see if I fall in love with that one and find kind of the challenge in it all Yeah, and that's that's the point where like I if I had time to really get into it here. I think the roguelite Stuff is certainly as I was playing now. I was getting further and further. I was like Oh, this is where it becomes really really important It's I think it does a very good job of ramping up with those early levels where it's literally you just get the dopamine rush of putting coin in coins come out Whereas once you hit like six round six or so onwards That's when you need to be Making sure that what you're getting in the shop works for the build that you are trying to do In particular as well like making sure that see on the side like those like coin

41:14The whole clips making sure that you've invested enough to increase those so you get the special coins that will give you more points Making sure that you are using prizes because something like the the difference in Coins you need to get at the very beginning versus coins you need to get later on in rounds Is immense like it can go from 50 to thousands And so that is when you are really need to be making sure that you're preparing early on To pay all that later and then I want to hear the coins that look so good now my one critique of the b-roll that we've seen Stunning lack of raccoons Yeah, what if it's like there's I see the little guy on the bottom right but the coins one of the prize coins is the raccoon And in the first guy you play as is a raccoon. So this is like a later on level The first the first guy you play as is you know what oh my god I had a dream that me snowback bike and max gova were golfing and a raccoon walked up to us and Was like Stole somebody's video cameras out of recording. We're like yeah, they do that here

42:16It's a weird thing Yes, something like a raccoons. I want to see more anyway. He says that he pivots back to this I want to see more little paws do stuff out here Yeah, I'm fascinated by the past year to two years that we've had with the roguelikes and the arcade roguelikes Whatever you want to classify these as we've gotten a lot of them lately. Yeah, this simulator games Extraction shooters they're all the right be sting, but no, I mean, I think play stack has a really good Eye for I mean like they also publish gold night. I'll switch to my favorite games I've a like they had a great success with bilatro and yeah good eye. Oh, yeah. Well, thanks loose I'm gonna get this I'm excited. I'm interested But I'm sick Mike. Yeah, I'm talking about new games. Okay. What if we talked about an old game Say 2009 Andy, what the hell were you streaming this weekend? So bear it walked out to me and he In a meeting though. It was an I was working from home. So he didn't walk up to me But I'm assuming he walked up and then he said I'm going to play in your automata this weekend there

43:20To see if we can maybe push it into the kind of funny top 100 vote Which will happen later in the year if it's on my list You said will it make my top 100 will it boost this game higher sure And he said but in exchange Andy. I want you to play Batman Arkham Asylum Yeah, and I said daddy. Oh, you got a daddy. Oh And I downloaded Arkham Asylum and I downloaded I downloaded some cool mods Um, and I played about seven and a half hours Yesterday and I'm close to beating it. I'm right there near the end the I mean the most hey The the most appealing thing about this whole proposition from bear it was him going It'll take you like eight to ten hours to beat it. I said. Oh my god. That's a dream come true I knew that's what you needed to hear after beating the Witcher dream come true After about 110 hours of the Witcher and played about seven and a half hours yesterday and it It is I mean, it's so masterful and what it does with it's You know kind of keeping everything so condensed and not making everything feel like a

44:26Just mission on a checklist the way that things are just so kind of You know The way things are integrated into the game and the way moments and you know boss fights or You know even NPC encounters happen everything feels so organically done and I think It reminds me so much of my time playing Gears of War one and two for the first time last year two years ago whatever it was where I Could immediately see how this game has inspired so many other games that have followed it But it still does so many things better. Oh sure then the ones that have followed it And I don't know I just have such an appreciation for the the formula of it all the The voice acting the characters Mark Hamel just Fucking killing it Kevin Conroy being awesome the late great. Uh, yeah, it's just it's one of these games I'm like yeah, okay, I get it and and I never fully Expected it to hit the way it did because I you know the amount of people that I've been talking this game up

45:29I just thought like okay, but it's still a Batman superhero game like it can't no it is it's awesome this game rock rocks I just love the layout of it all I think it's so kind of beautifully designed and everything is so efficiently done. There's no wasted time with anything Everything's just like we're gonna get you to the next spot. That's going to be fun. We're gonna hit you with surprises and Nothing is going to feel like okay, this mission's done. Let me start next mission every the way everything is just like close Everything close so perfectly. Yeah, it's like this really was the blueprint for what a lot of games have tried to emulate And in a lot of ways have failed since then at this game I think does it kind of perfectly so far. So yeah, I have like a couple of hours left maybe two to three hours left Very nice. Um really really enjoying my time with it Um, yeah, like you know, it'll likely be a top 100 when this came out and you didn't play was it because it was when you're downtime of gaming Um, yeah, but also I think we had just been plagued by a lot of bad ports. Sure

46:29Or bad, you know, I installments of like games. It just seems funny that like, you know iGN will give it like a 9.3 Right Batman Arkham Silent is the greatest comic book video game of all time This is an adult dark night story that is well told packs some truly fun game elements has top-notch voice talent It feels like it's part of the Batman cannon if I have to nitpick I wish the cutscenes looked better as they can distract from the tail and that the AI was a bit more responsive But those are tiny flaws that shouldn't distract from the big picture rock steady nailed What Batman is supposed to feel like fans rejoice who wrote that really doesn't matter who wrote fucking Bigger who bigger of a verdict. Yeah, yeah, but this is when iGN was respectable. So I was All right It's something they lost about 11 years ago Getting I mean yeah timing lines of perfectly. Yeah. Uh, yeah I mean, I would say it was definitely during my downish time of of gaming where I Had moved to Austin by this point already and just didn't have a lot of money And when I was when I did have time when I wasn't At work full time and school full time. I was I would red box whatever thing

47:33But I also just wasn't as into the games industry as I was like later on when I you know I would say probably three years I say around 2011 is when I got really into like listening to podcasts and and you know reading reviews and things like that And yeah, but I think at the time I just thought oh another license game There's been a lot of these in the past a lot of them have been bad I just never gave it a second thought, you know, and by the time I realized how much people love these games Like all right, well, you know I'm saying other new stuff right now, you know what I mean, but it's a perfect time. Honestly like this top 100 Stuff has been perfect for the backlog of wanting to go back and re-experience like these legendary video games You know, yeah, it's been a good time. What's your favorite goon call out Batman goon call out um It's the bad it's the bad. Yeah, I mean that's definitely got to be the one take a soul on it once Yeah, that's another good one. I love how every like just normal goon is either It's either Steve Bloom or it's bender

48:36Yeah, don't show us. Yeah, and it's awesome. I just I don't know it just It the characterizations everybody are so awesome I have been skipping so many riddler things So I have this like in-game lore for myself that the realtor is just really sad that I'm skipping a lot of his stuff Yeah And there was a moment that later on I found a chowfee goes Oh, I thought you were never going to find that one and I was like man He's really feeling it right now like man this guy is hey joker did he do that he didn't do that one mission damn That's unfortunate a lot of time. Yeah, but it's really cool the way the world has evolved as the game continues and you hit these Extra or these newer phases of where we're at in the game and how the world evolves and how the levels change and it's I don't know really really fascinating and super super masterfully done Oh very yes Will you follow up oh sure with Arkham city fuck The best one The best one. Yeah, yeah The best one It's a debate between city and asylum

49:38Because they're they're too very different and I would say like two towers, you know, it's like it's like it's like What tickles your fancy more because you're your experiencing Arkham asylum? You definitely see like the the heavy Metroidvania Like design that it's going for right and integrating that into Batman's worst night Whereas Arkham city is a more of a not full open world But it's doing like a more of an open world thing where it's putting you more in the shoes of Batman on one of his like top performance nice Damn dog damn yeah, and why I looked at the time to beat it is not yeah, it's a little worse either So I don't know maybe not immediately maybe not immediately because we got some big stuff coming up You know, we got some big games on the horizon, but I'll finish this one by this week and I hear you But again top 100 and just going to an unbiased source like IGN Batman Arkham city isn't perfect but listing the little things I didn't like gets in the way of the stuff I adored the voice acting the challenge is the amazing opening the unbelievable ending in the feeling of being The dark night. These are the things that stand out looking back

50:38I beaten this thing twice and still want to call and sick to chase riddler trophies Batman Arkham city isn't just better than Batman Arkham asylum It's better than most video games on the market IGN Wow, they're banger man. They used to bring heat. Here's what score 9.5 wow really really good Here's what I would propose you any one that hold on real quick. What's the one that everybody hates of the Batmobile challenges? Night Night's really good people. It's the usual thing. I mean, you put out two classic games You come out and you improve on everything and then give one glaring I think weak spot But if it were the first entry in the franchise people would have been like you know Story when they were very much like it's not gonna be a predictable story What I would propose Andy is like You get to you get back to Arkham asylum on new stream You finish Arkham asylum You wipe away the final boss fight of our Arkham asylum. Just think about the rest of the game And then start up just play the first 30 to 45 of Arkham city. Yeah, see how you feel about it. Yeah, you should

51:45And then if you need to take a break take a break Honestly, if you want to let it take over you let it take over honestly I owe it to you because I was like what I mean what a What a bad proposition by bear because he's like hey play this 12-hour game in exchange I'll play this 50 hours and I also put on top of it I would say for you. I also played control and Dark Souls 1 in the last year. Oh wow Dark Souls 1 That's a good video game right there You call it though. There are a lot of games happening right now So of course with top 100 coming I have to ask are have you or what are you going back to Starfield? Are you are you in it right now like me trying to clean everything up getting ready for next week? Of course, we are a week in a day away from the Terran Armada and Freelane's arriving and the PlayStation 5 version Are you just waiting for the PlayStation 5 version? I got to assume you're going to call in to work that And like I want to tell you if you can figure out how to call and stick to my family the fact that Ben Spring break has to be Our pick this fucking day I'm going to be in New York City like yeah, go play in Central Park

52:46Go to camp go to camp Go play in the swings that over there Greg yeah, tell me all about your experience with Starfield No, I mean, I've done that many a times don't worry about it. I'm sure there will be more Thanks to everybody who are so nice with the Starfield content two weeks ago when they announced all this both me and Michael I'm having the great conversation and then the stream and then the Gregway I was nice to see people being like showing up in the stream Be like or like the comments and be like, you know, I don't even like Starfield, but I like seeing Greg happy I can't believe I live in this world More Ghostbusters motion pictures you've getting there. I got three Superman. I got Superman Supergirl and I'm just you man Move the comment. I got this more Starfield content. I'm stoked for it Right now I am re obsessed where if I'm not working on the redacted review I'm over there playing this because I want I walk I walk through the unity again I left my other world behind. I'm sure I'll do another spoiler cast after this next drop of content And so now I'm trying mainly. I'm working through the Watchtower Steam creation from King grad or I'm sorry the Watchtower creation from King Gath creation You know how mods are in this game. Oh, right, right people make all these quests and King Gath

53:49I had started the Watchtower mod when it originally launched, but I hadn't finished it So now I'm going through and finishing it. It's crazy to see what a talented team of creators can do Like they have made a quest that rivals what Bethesda does with their stuff So it's all am see that and I got to interview them at when I was at Bethesda. What's the what's the voicing like You can go in there. I mean they voiced it. It's good. Oh shit Like the king if you didn't hear me talk about this with hi. I'm a little bit in it I'll give you the elevator pitch of it right is that of course There's this guy King Gath who had been making creations. I want to say since quake and been enjoying It was just a side project he did or whatever and then they did one for fallout for fallout for called Sim City it was inspired by Sim City Maybe it was something whatever And it was so popular, but it took so long because the community worked on it when he was done with he's like I'm very tired and burnt out and I couldn't work with that many people and I probably won't do it again And Bethesda came to them and we're like, you know, you're so good at this. Do you want to work with us on you make the doom creation for star field And then you do that and they got and they now they're a business. They are an 11 person oh shit small business that makes creations only for Bethesda games

54:53Well, you do voice acting. They do all the stuff. They announced a bunch of stuff there where they're working with the original voice actors from some of these projects Now to come in and make stuff for the game like it's incredible what they're doing over there And yeah, I started watch tower and I had done a Gregway on it back then when I was like this is what I want out of Bethesda quests Where it's what you and me talk about all the time Andy what me and bless talk about time of like I want to be surprised I want that production value. I want that awesome opening and like watch tower gave me all that back then But then it was so much of the deal was you had to fly around and fight other ships But I was at a part in my star field journey where I was like well I don't have a new quest to chase so I'm not organically flying around yeah And now with all the stuff I'm organically flying around so I'm doing all you got we get new ship parts with this DLC I imagine so yeah, you're getting a lot of the last one didn't I don't believe well this yeah, you're the House of Roon stuff. Yeah for a shadow dimension. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, share space shadow space Yeah, this one. I mean, this is all about free lanes. This is all about travel. So you should be getting that yeah, for sure We'll see next week. I can't wait. It don't worry. I'll talk about it when I come back because I will be playing in New York And I've been playing a lot of deadlock man. Oh

55:56There's been playing so much deadlock I haven't tried it yet. I feel It it's it's so it's so fucking good and I needed to hit yeah, right still like steam you have to like give it to you You still have to like revise I'll send you I love You know just I love seeing where it's evolved to and how much developed but it's still like I still I need this documentary I need To me it's the most fascinating story in game development right now Massive massive company with more money than god Just having a team making a game With no real rules with no PR who gives a fuck about newsletters and up to it's just we're just making a game and you come play it and it's Always like top five or top 10 on steam concurrence and it's an invite only game and say and we don't ever need to

56:59You know, we're not get pushing out email saying everybody. It's not even fully announced yet, you know Like it's not been officially anything and it's just it's so cool the way that it is being developed and I Cannot go a day without playing two to three matches which sucks because they're real long And the other day I had a 57-minute match. Oh my god And and it was awesome, but like it's so good god. I love deadlock. I like I need to take a one point of this year So I can put it in my top 100 and so I could put it number two on my top 10 of the year It was Mike's number one two years ago. Wasn't afraid to put it on the list. Yeah, Mike's never been afraid never happened a friend never been to church either. Yeah That's something we learn recently. Yeah If you're scared go to church and I've been to church never been a church. Oh, I don't know what what I mean you want to talk about an IRL stream We take Mike to church. We take Mike to Catholic church. Let's go. What are you doing? This Thursday be ready. Yeah, I can't wait for I'm Jesus Christ. Oh my god. We're gonna drop some lore on you

58:04Messiah Catholic stream You catch out YouTube twitch etc. Yeah during the twitch preparation There was a the stream preparation lose there was a conversation of who would be great for this stream Right, it's like well, you know, it could be a kind of funny gamescast plays where in gamescast plays It's more editorial it's like somebody who's played a lot that has experience and somebody who has it And Michael's I've never been a church. We're like that might be perfect to learn the lore, you know Lucy where people keep up with your lore I Blue Sky BS. That's a BS tip Lucy James games everywhere you find the game spot and the friends per second podcast Before you get out of here, you have one final super chat it comes from organic mirage. She says Lucy tell Mike about Greg sausage rolls So in the UK there is a bakery chain called Greg's two G's yeah, and they have a sausage roll that is out of this world Is that a breakfast sausage roll or is that just an any time sausage roll?

All right, everybody. This has been another Oh, what do you how is it gonna survive? I mean, I don't know, but I'm surprised that I've played it more than our creators at this point Okay, I'm shocked by that, you know, because I've really enjoyed my time with our writers too Also been hopping in a crimson desert with all the the the patches and you know Control fixes and stuff as I downloaded a mod that makes the Stamina less of a pain in the acid deal with okay, um, it certainly feels better to control now Still not what I would want but I'm gonna keep pushing through because right now I'm just treating it like a single-player survival game I'm cut chopping down trees

1:01:12I'm breaking down things to then make the new thing at the blacksmith and I'm treating it kind of like that That's kind of my I said hey, you know, fuck any dialogue maybe give me a mod that lets me skip through all the bad Writing and stuff and I'm just gonna play like a single-player survival game.

Yeah watch it on Danny's no-clip two channel and The way that it's not just this survival game, but treating a lot of these enemy encampments like World of Warcraft is so cool and fascinating being that's Kaplan captain was on warcraft

1:02:18But he was like a big ever craft ever quest guy Yeah, yeah, I just love the idea of like let's go take on this little you know, enemy base or whatever and treating it like That wow experience, but it's a first-person shooter and controls the way I would want you know a game to control Some guns take like eight seconds to reload Greg.
