G&C Podcast - Episode 207: Season 5 Premiere: Discussing Our Plans For 2025!

[00:00:00] Hey everybody! On this episode of Gaming and Collecting, me and Alex kick off Season 5 of Gaming and Collecting, going over some of our plans for the upcoming season as we move into 2025. But anyways guys, on with the episode.

[00:00:15] You can see me stretched already.

[00:00:47] Oh yeah! Yeah! Well no they can't. They can't see you. I can. How does it feel to be 30?

[00:00:57] Well now I have an excuse for why I feel like shit every morning. Everything hurts.

[00:01:03] Aww.

[00:01:05] Yeah, it's, it's, oh it's already, 2025 is already starting off to a, to a starting off.

[00:01:14] Well it can only get better.

[00:01:17] I hope so, cause I am, I have been so tired this week. Like I think it's cause it's been,

[00:01:22] um, so we did, unlike the, a lot of the country, we didn't get slammed by snow. We just had cold.

[00:01:30] Yeah, it's been freezing.

[00:01:32] No snow, ironically, cause New England makes no sense.

[00:01:36] Um, yeah, it's been like that. Um, just trying to get through the start of the year, so I can start planning out what I want to do this year.

[00:01:47] Um, you know, fun stuff. How's your year been so far?

[00:01:54] I mean, I feel like it's always hard when you go from vacation a short week and that first full week back is always, never the most fun.

[00:02:04] I think that's a general consensus.

[00:02:06] Yeah. It's just been a, uh, it's been tiring.

[00:02:12] Yeah, no, I'm with you. It's, I'm very much looking forward to the weekend already. Uh, my plans are to de-Christmas my house and get an oil change.

[00:02:23] And I kind of just want to just not think about anything for a bit. And we'll podcast, podcast too at some point.

[00:02:29] We'll rebuild our backlog a little bit.

[00:02:32] Yes. Yes, yes, yes.

[00:02:36] But, um, yeah, other than that though, it's season five, Alex.

[00:02:41] Oh.

[00:02:44] We're on our fifth year of doing this.

[00:02:46] Like.

[00:02:46] That's crazy.

[00:02:48] Like.

[00:02:48] Are you sure?

[00:02:50] Yeah. No, we're going to be getting the, the, up the Facebook memory pretty soon when we recorded episode one.

[00:02:55] Oh, with the one of us holding, yep, holding the mics.

[00:02:58] Yeah.

[00:02:58] Cause the, the first one we did, my, my second, no, third apartment.

[00:03:03] Yeah, we did at the, the, the, uh, the apartment apartment right after you had moved back.

[00:03:08] But before I was down there.

[00:03:11] Um.

[00:03:11] Yeah.

[00:03:12] Well, it was right after I had moved into the apartment.

[00:03:19] Well, I had been living there for a little bit, but, um, it was like in, I think it was into the first winter.

[00:03:26] Didn't we start in the winter?

[00:03:28] Uh, we started the first, uh, the first episode came out in January of 2021.

[00:03:34] So.

[00:03:34] Yes.

[00:03:36] Yeah.

[00:03:37] Cause we, we, it was like right near the end of January and we were, I didn't move down there until mid season two.

[00:03:46] Yes.

[00:03:47] Yeah.

[00:03:47] Yeah.

[00:03:47] Cause the first episode we recorded after I had moved to, uh, Connecticut was, uh, the Sonic X, the, the Sonic cartoons episode.

[00:03:56] Yes.

[00:03:58] Well, it's funny looking back at it.

[00:04:00] Cause when we first made the podcast, it was partially for us to like hang out while I was living in a different state.

[00:04:07] Um, and now, now you look down the street from me.

[00:04:12] Yeah.

[00:04:12] So now it's just like, well, we can't stop now.

[00:04:15] We're already committed.

[00:04:17] 200 episodes later, we're still doing this.

[00:04:19] We're part of a big network.

[00:04:21] Shout out super pod.

[00:04:23] Um, we've got a whole family of podcasts now and a whole group of friends.

[00:04:27] It's crazy.

[00:04:29] Like I did not think this would be, excuse me.

[00:04:33] I did not think this is where we would be, uh, like on like four years in.

[00:04:38] Yeah.

[00:04:39] No, it's, it's definitely, it's been a journey.

[00:04:42] It's been a good one and I'm excited for year number five.

[00:04:46] Hmm.

[00:04:46] Let's go.

[00:04:47] I didn't even think we would make it to a hundred episodes and here we are to 200 in.

[00:04:53] So.

[00:04:54] Well, I remember when we first started to, um, you had said, Oh, well, mate, we probably won't do weekly.

[00:05:01] We'll probably just post whenever.

[00:05:03] And it just turned very quickly into weekly.

[00:05:06] I think it was only one episode that didn't, um, come out, which it was just technical computer difficulty.

[00:05:14] We had, we won't, I, we only missed one Saturday and that was because of, um, my computer died because I didn't, I didn't learn that you could post the episodes in advance yet.

[00:05:24] Um, and I was doing them all the day of, which was really dumb in hindsight, but, um, it was a, it was a learning curve.

[00:05:31] You were learning how to podcast and it's all part of it.

[00:05:35] You don't learn, you don't figure it out until you learn about it.

[00:05:39] So not remember when we had an ad.

[00:05:43] Yeah.

[00:05:44] That terrible fucking, you can hear it on the YouTube.

[00:05:48] Uh, yeah, it's still actually, actually, no, you can't anymore.

[00:05:53] Cause the YouTube versions are, have been replaced by the, uh, the RSS feed episodes.

[00:05:58] Um, well, if you're, if you're a smart enough sleuth, you can still find those versions on YouTube.

[00:06:07] Cause they're not technically deleted.

[00:06:08] They're just delisted or unlisted.

[00:06:10] So you can find them if you have a link.

[00:06:14] Well, cause I remember when we did the podcast revisit, um, we looked, we looked back at the first one.

[00:06:21] You could hear the ad and we were both like, what is that?

[00:06:25] That was based off of like the original raw YouTube file.

[00:06:28] Um, that's still up, but you can't find it anymore because I've replaced all of those with the, uh, the direct RSS feed links.

[00:06:38] Uh, but yeah, it's crazy.

[00:06:41] And now we're, we have a new logo and entirely new layout to everything.

[00:06:46] We've changed a lot of stuff since we, we have an intro music now.

[00:06:50] Shout out to Jerry.

[00:06:52] He won't make my piano music though.

[00:06:55] You can make that on your own.

[00:06:56] You've no, I want it to be done by a profession.

[00:07:02] Yeah.

[00:07:03] Just kidding.

[00:07:05] Yeah.

[00:07:05] But, uh, yeah, crazy things.

[00:07:07] It's been a while since we recorded.

[00:07:09] I think the last time we recorded was right after Christmas.

[00:07:11] Yeah.

[00:07:12] Well, it just like, it was a crazy, I feel like Christmas happened and it was like a whirlwind.

[00:07:18] And while we were planning a lot of content too, like we ended up binge watching a series, not gonna name it, but it'll be our next episode.

[00:07:25] Uh, which was really fun.

[00:07:27] So that will be coming out.

[00:07:28] And that was like a really good, like thing from our childhood looking back on and some new stuff we hadn't seen before.

[00:07:35] So I'm looking forward to that.

[00:07:37] But yeah, it's been a little, it's been a little crazy, but we'll get back into it.

[00:07:42] Hopefully maybe get a backlog back and going soon.

[00:07:47] This is Alex's first episode recorded in her new studio.

[00:07:50] Yes.

[00:07:51] You can't see it because I was gonna reapply makeup for the screen.

[00:07:58] But then I looked at the time and I said, I'm not gonna do that.

[00:08:02] So you can't see it, but you'll see it in future episodes.

[00:08:04] Uh, but yeah, I took my upstairs guest room, which used to actually be Bill's room.

[00:08:12] And I redid it.

[00:08:14] So I kind of turned it into an office slash guest room and just utilizing the space a lot better.

[00:08:20] I have some manga in here now.

[00:08:22] And I just, I really like it.

[00:08:25] I think it came out really good.

[00:08:27] I'm utilizing the space better and I like it.

[00:08:33] It's really funny that a lot of episodes were recorded in that room just from my perspective.

[00:08:38] Yeah.

[00:08:39] Well, my computer is always downstairs.

[00:08:42] Um, but then I, you know, a little more office space.

[00:08:49] Plus it's less, I feel echoey up here than it was downstairs and you can't hear the heater kicking off all the time.

[00:08:57] So I think it's going to be a good change.

[00:09:00] Yeah.

[00:09:01] And I have a green screen that I will eventually start messing with.

[00:09:05] But for now it's really big and hard to get back in the bag as we learned.

[00:09:12] Yeah.

[00:09:12] Alex pulled out.

[00:09:13] She's like, I forgot it was this big.

[00:09:16] And I was like, eh, well, I was thinking I could just store it in the corner over there, but then I quickly learned.

[00:09:22] No, I can't.

[00:09:24] Hmm.

[00:09:26] Yeah.

[00:09:26] Sometimes.

[00:09:28] But, um, yeah.

[00:09:29] So for this episode, I was thinking because it's the, our usual season.

[00:09:35] It would be fun to go over some of our things we'd like to do this year on the podcast.

[00:09:41] Kind of shows canceled.

[00:09:45] Happy season five.

[00:09:46] Fuck you.

[00:09:47] No, just kidding.

[00:09:49] Did I?

[00:09:50] Oh, what'd you do?

[00:09:53] Oh, I thought I popped my stress ball.

[00:09:56] Oh, were you that stressed?

[00:09:59] Yeah.

[00:10:00] Cause it would have been two for two, like of my recent stress balls.

[00:10:04] Oh, I literally almost cried.

[00:10:06] I really liked this one too.

[00:10:08] It's the one where Bill and I have matching stress balls.

[00:10:11] Stress.

[00:10:13] Before we get started though, Bill, what are you drinking?

[00:10:17] I saw you drinking something.

[00:10:20] Uh, I got one.

[00:10:21] You're off right and say those facts.

[00:10:23] I'm just drinking one of those sparkling ice that you can get at the store.

[00:10:26] It's just.

[00:10:27] What flavor?

[00:10:28] Black cherry flavored.

[00:10:30] What, what's the name of the brand?

[00:10:34] Sparkling ice.

[00:10:35] It's like that ice brand.

[00:10:37] Like they have the, the caffeine ice.

[00:10:39] They have the, uh, they had alcoholic ones for a while, but I haven't seen those in forever.

[00:10:44] What are the nutritional facts?

[00:10:46] Alex.

[00:10:48] Give us a fact.

[00:10:50] Zero sugar.

[00:10:53] You know, for Bill, I will take it.

[00:10:55] He gave us something.

[00:10:57] Everyone round of applause for Bill.

[00:11:00] He gave us a fact.

[00:11:01] Bill, what, aren't you going to ask me what I'm drinking?

[00:11:04] What are you drinking, Alex?

[00:11:06] Everyone cares about my facts.

[00:11:08] Turn that banner down.

[00:11:08] This isn't a video podcast.

[00:11:10] No one's going to see this.

[00:11:11] No one's going to see this, Bill.

[00:11:13] Uh, I am drinking.

[00:11:16] A liquade.

[00:11:17] Deathade.

[00:11:19] Root beer rat.

[00:11:22] Flamed.

[00:11:23] Sparkling water.

[00:11:26] It's...

[00:11:27] It just makes my laugh.

[00:11:30] It's 12 fluid ounces.

[00:11:35] 355 milliliters.

[00:11:37] Murder your thirst.

[00:11:40] Not people.

[00:11:41] That's wrong.

[00:11:42] I love that I've just converted Alex into a liquid death fan.

[00:11:45] Yeah, it's real good.

[00:11:47] I got these at Target.

[00:11:48] They're the little small cans, which is kind of a nice treat.

[00:11:52] Let's see.

[00:11:54] Nutritional effects.

[00:11:55] One can is one serving, if you didn't know.

[00:11:58] 10 calories.

[00:12:00] What else?

[00:12:02] Zero fat.

[00:12:04] Zero sodium.

[00:12:05] Okay, there is two grams of carbs.

[00:12:08] Just...

[00:12:08] Just too low.

[00:12:10] That's not too bad.

[00:12:12] And there's two grams of carbs.

[00:12:14] There are also two grams of sugar.

[00:12:15] But anyways, zero grams of protein.

[00:12:18] No protein!

[00:12:19] Maybe you could add some protein powder.

[00:12:21] Maybe it would give you some protein.

[00:12:23] I love the way that your camera is laid out.

[00:12:26] All I see is your forehead.

[00:12:28] Oh wait, really?

[00:12:29] Just like you?

[00:12:30] Yeah.

[00:12:32] You might want to lower that a little bit.

[00:12:34] It doesn't make sense.

[00:12:36] Wait, can you see my face now?

[00:12:38] Like barely.

[00:12:39] You're like way down here.

[00:12:42] Oh no, I think I did pop the stress ball.

[00:12:44] Cause now there's sticky things on my hand.

[00:12:48] No!

[00:12:50] I'm on my hand wall!

[00:12:53] Um, what else?

[00:12:55] Uh, manufactured for liquid death in Los Angeles.

[00:13:02] Recycle!

[00:13:03] Or die.

[00:13:04] It just threatened me.

[00:13:05] The can is threatening me though.

[00:13:07] Recycle or die.

[00:13:08] The can is threatening me!

[00:13:10] I love how edgy for no reason liquid death is.

[00:13:14] It's so fun.

[00:13:16] But yeah!

[00:13:17] And so my rate, so as a new thing though, this year, we're gonna rate our drinks.

[00:13:23] So Bill, honestly, what would you rate your drink on whatever scale you wanna rate it on?

[00:13:32] Uh, I'll give it a 7 out of 10.

[00:13:35] They're fine.

[00:13:36] They, I only buy them cause they're big.

[00:13:39] And they'll last me an entire like evening.

[00:13:41] So.

[00:13:42] I rank liquid death root beer water, root beer wrath, sorry.

[00:13:52] 9.3 root beer barrels out of 8 root beer barrels.

[00:14:00] It's great!

[00:14:04] Anyways, so...

[00:14:06] Nah!

[00:14:07] Eh!

[00:14:07] You don't like my new segment?

[00:14:10] I'm just, I'm more just trying, your, your, your rating just completely threw me through

[00:14:14] a loop there.

[00:14:15] I, that was the point.

[00:14:17] Um, yeah.

[00:14:19] Um, but anyways, so moving on into season 5, we have plans for this season.

[00:14:25] We're gonna...

[00:14:26] We do?

[00:14:27] I mean, yeah, we have plans for every season.

[00:14:33] Did you hear that?

[00:14:34] That's a wonderful, yeah, that's a wonderful sound.

[00:14:37] Um...

[00:14:37] That was, that was Bill shitting.

[00:14:40] Bill pooped his pants.

[00:14:45] He hates me.

[00:14:47] Don't you?

[00:14:51] Uh huh.

[00:14:52] No!

[00:14:53] Well, that is a plan.

[00:14:55] That is kind of a plan for next year.

[00:14:57] Make me rage.

[00:14:59] Yeah.

[00:15:00] Um, so yeah, going into 2025 season 5, we have a lot of ideas that we want to cover.

[00:15:06] Obviously, one thing I think we lacked on a little bit last year was collabs.

[00:15:14] We didn't do nearly as many as we would have liked.

[00:15:16] Yeah.

[00:15:17] Um...

[00:15:17] We both had kind of a rough year though.

[00:15:21] Um...

[00:15:21] Yeah, it wasn't, 2024 was not the best year.

[00:15:25] Um...

[00:15:25] Period.

[00:15:27] Um, yeah, we'd definitely like to do more collabs.

[00:15:29] I want to do kind of like we did season 3 and like, do a whole bunch of revisits.

[00:15:33] Like, bring on different guests and uh, cover topics we've done previously.

[00:15:37] Uh huh.

[00:15:38] With uh, fresh perspectives.

[00:15:41] Yeah, I'll have a fresh perspective.

[00:15:44] That 64 still fucking sucks.

[00:15:48] Anyways.

[00:15:51] Um...

[00:15:51] Yeah, also, uh, we wanna, we have some returning series that we're gonna continue on with.

[00:15:56] Like, obviously, anime swap will continue.

[00:15:58] Not sure.

[00:15:59] I think we gotta do more.

[00:16:00] I don't think we did that many this, this last year.

[00:16:03] We did three last year.

[00:16:05] I feel like we could definitely do more.

[00:16:08] I think it would be more fun too.

[00:16:10] Cause I know, well, most of, I think most of you have listened to the anime run down.

[00:16:16] And you know, I watched a lot of, oh, too much stuff.

[00:16:21] So there's plenty of stuff for us to swap at this point.

[00:16:24] Mm.

[00:16:25] Cause I watched a lot of good shows.

[00:16:26] So, start watching, Bill.

[00:16:30] I mean, I watched a lot of shows last year too.

[00:16:32] Just towards the end of the year.

[00:16:34] Um...

[00:16:36] Yeah, but we need to do more swap.

[00:16:38] And more films.

[00:16:40] Yep, we gotta do more three anime films.

[00:16:42] Cause I believe we only did one last year.

[00:16:45] Hmm.

[00:16:46] Uh, we did one last year.

[00:16:49] And we did the three anime films.

[00:16:52] I also think we should do more movie reviews.

[00:16:54] Like we had done the soul leveling movie review.

[00:16:58] Yeah.

[00:16:59] Like, it would be fun too.

[00:17:00] Cause then we're going out to see more movies too.

[00:17:03] Yeah.

[00:17:03] I always like to...

[00:17:05] I like going to the movies.

[00:17:07] Like, I don't know.

[00:17:08] I feel like it's...

[00:17:09] I like it.

[00:17:10] I think it's fun.

[00:17:11] It is.

[00:17:12] It's gotta be a good movie though.

[00:17:13] Like, if it's a boring movie, I hate being stuck at the theater.

[00:17:17] No, yeah.

[00:17:18] That is always a struggle.

[00:17:19] But I think it would be fun to do more like movie reviews and stuff.

[00:17:22] Like go see it.

[00:17:23] Talk about the movie and stuff.

[00:17:25] It might be fun to do like more...

[00:17:27] Like kind of take our anime swaps, but make game swaps too.

[00:17:31] Like maybe we both pick something on Steam and each of us has to play the game and we'll see review how it goes.

[00:17:38] Stuff like that or something.

[00:17:40] Hmm.

[00:17:40] Potentially.

[00:17:41] I also want to do more manga stuff this year.

[00:17:43] Cause we did...

[00:17:44] We've...

[00:17:45] We tipped our toes into manga last year.

[00:17:48] Yeah.

[00:17:48] And...

[00:17:48] And now we're collectors.

[00:17:51] Yeah.

[00:17:53] Um, but also like, I've really been kind of like tipping my...

[00:17:56] I've been really trying to read more this year.

[00:17:58] Cause last year, I don't think I read enough manga.

[00:18:00] I agree.

[00:18:01] I agree.

[00:18:01] That's like one of my resolutions for this year is to definitely read more manga.

[00:18:07] Yeah.

[00:18:08] Cause I mean, the only reason I read the stuff I did last year is cause I had to...

[00:18:11] I was, uh, we were doing stuff for geek addicts and I'd like to just read more in general.

[00:18:15] Um, I also like to read cause I'm into comics again.

[00:18:18] I'd love to read more comics.

[00:18:20] Hmm.

[00:18:21] Um, yeah, that's a big goal.

[00:18:23] I want to definitely play more games cause I really...

[00:18:25] I did not play nearly enough games last year.

[00:18:28] Me either.

[00:18:30] Uh, I'm definitely going to try and play a lot more games this year and finish a lot more games too.

[00:18:36] Because I, I played them and then I never picked up.

[00:18:38] That's one thing I'll do this weekend too.

[00:18:40] I gotta continue one piece odyssey.

[00:18:42] It's a long game.

[00:18:45] It's longer than I remembered.

[00:18:47] Yeah.

[00:18:49] Um, yeah, that I'm looking forward to that.

[00:18:52] I really, I really want to, uh, definitely play more games.

[00:18:57] I want to, I want to touch upon more topics too.

[00:19:00] Cause I feel like we didn't cover, we didn't, we weren't the gaming half of gaming and collecting.

[00:19:08] Didn't really shine as much as I would have liked it to in season four.

[00:19:12] Yeah.

[00:19:13] Cause I mean, aside from games that shaped us, which was like the only real recurring season we had or recurring gaming related thing we had last year.

[00:19:23] Um, which I still want to do more of those cause I do love doing games that shaped us talking about those games.

[00:19:29] I'd like to actually do some gaming related things as well.

[00:19:33] Um, more so than we did last year.

[00:19:35] Cause we were very anime heavy last year.

[00:19:38] Yeah, we were, which is funny.

[00:19:40] I, it's funny looking back on it because I feel like we didn't do that many anime swaps, but I guess we were more in my, I don't know.

[00:19:49] It's crazy.

[00:19:50] Yeah, we did that.

[00:19:51] We also did a lot of like, cause I know we did like the five nights at Freddy's movie review as well.

[00:19:56] Um, that was a fun one.

[00:19:58] Yeah.

[00:19:59] Um, we also did some kind of out there episodes.

[00:20:02] Like we did the quiet on the set episode, which to be fair, I kind of, in hindsight, we probably should have waited to do that one.

[00:20:11] Yeah.

[00:20:12] No, I still think it was good.

[00:20:14] It was fine though.

[00:20:15] But like, I, I re listened to it and I'm like, yeah, my opinions have changed quite a bit since then on a lot of things I said.

[00:20:22] Um, cause we were still processing it all at the time.

[00:20:26] Yeah.

[00:20:34] Yeah.

[00:20:35] Um, I think it might be cool to even do some stuff where we like pick like a specific game creator and kind of go into their backstory and stuff.

[00:20:43] And that might be kind of interesting.

[00:20:45] I'd like to definitely get a little more like research heavy into some of our topics before we go at them as well.

[00:20:53] Oh yeah.

[00:20:54] Oh yeah.

[00:20:55] Like there's that.

[00:20:56] I also, um, I want to continue collecting stories a little bit.

[00:21:01] Yeah.

[00:21:02] Um, we did a few of those last year, which I, I, I enjoyed.

[00:21:05] Um, I'd like to definitely have more guests on collectors from our, um, our little like a circle.

[00:21:11] Come on and talk gaming.

[00:21:13] Um, another big thing I'd like to do.

[00:21:16] It's good.

[00:21:16] It's good.

[00:21:17] Did you hear that?

[00:21:18] Did you hear that?

[00:21:20] What the hell was that?

[00:21:22] Stress ball made a fart noise.

[00:21:24] Okay.

[00:21:25] I swear I didn't too.

[00:21:27] It was a stress ball.

[00:21:28] I know.

[00:21:29] I know you didn't do it because you didn't just scream delete that for like 20 minutes.

[00:21:35] Um, yeah, it was like, I don't know how I did.

[00:21:38] I don't know if I can recreate it.

[00:21:41] Yeah, that I definitely want to do that.

[00:21:44] Um, have those have friends in to talk collecting.

[00:21:48] Um, I lost my train of thought.

[00:21:53] That's how this podcast goes.

[00:21:55] I thought this is what you signed up for.

[00:21:59] Um, yeah, definitely do.

[00:22:02] Oh, you go.

[00:22:03] You go.

[00:22:04] I didn't really have something.

[00:22:05] What did you want to say?

[00:22:06] Oh, I was, well, I was gonna say, it might be fun to do some more like silly things too.

[00:22:10] Like one of the things I really enjoyed this year and it was, uh, during our, like one of our last ones was when we started going through that.

[00:22:17] Um, what was it?

[00:22:19] The cringe gauntlet.

[00:22:21] Oh, for the 200 episode.

[00:22:23] Stuff like that is just sometimes fun and like just silly to like watch or listen to.

[00:22:28] That, that I think would be really fun.

[00:22:31] We could totally relive some old YouTube flash animations too, which would be kind of fun.

[00:22:35] Like back when YouTube was actually fun.

[00:22:37] Um, it would, it might be like fun to even like do like, we bring like guests on and like each of us comes with like five or 10 different videos depending how long they are.

[00:22:50] And it's like, we do like a try not to laugh thing or like a cringe thing, something like that.

[00:22:57] Of stuff that just makes us laugh and we see how we do.

[00:23:02] Yeah.

[00:23:02] There's a lot of ideas.

[00:23:04] I want to, I want to stream more next year as well, which I think will help with the gaming aspect of playing a lot of these games.

[00:23:09] Hmm.

[00:23:11] I'll look into it.

[00:23:13] I'll look into streaming as well.

[00:23:15] I've done it.

[00:23:16] I've done a few little test streams here and there.

[00:23:17] So I have, I have the setup.

[00:23:19] I just need more time to actually sit down and do it.

[00:23:21] That's, that's been the killer is just having the time and not being tired all the time.

[00:23:29] Growing up.

[00:23:29] It's fun.

[00:23:30] Um, yeah, I remembered, I remembered my topic.

[00:23:34] What I will.

[00:23:35] I remembered what I was going to say before your stress ball happened.

[00:23:39] Um, it's, it's going to be a bit ambitious, but I really would like at some point this season to do a round table reunion.

[00:23:52] Like of the anime round table.

[00:23:55] We get the round table back together or at least as much of it as we can.

[00:23:59] And we do our favorite top 10.

[00:24:01] That would be fun.

[00:24:02] Either top 10 or new people too.

[00:24:05] If they'd like to ask around.

[00:24:07] Ask around.

[00:24:08] Cause I would love to revisit that.

[00:24:10] And actually, um, see how different it is now.

[00:24:15] Cause I'm very interested in when we do our top 25 list.

[00:24:19] This are inevitable top 25 lists.

[00:24:21] Mm hmm.

[00:24:22] Where it's going to go.

[00:24:23] Yeah.

[00:24:24] I don't know where mine's going to, I like, can't really think about it right now.

[00:24:28] Cause there's so many good ones out there.

[00:24:31] Mine's definitely going to be different.

[00:24:33] It is every year though.

[00:24:35] Yeah.

[00:24:35] It's, it's like kind of crazy.

[00:24:37] Just all the different, like, like twists and turns and like stuff that like changes.

[00:24:42] And then eventually we could do like to our friends who also read manga, we could do our top 10 mangas as well.

[00:24:49] I still want to do the anime movie round table at some point too.

[00:24:53] Yeah.

[00:24:54] But I think those round table conversations are really fun too.

[00:24:57] Like our controller debate, like even having like debates on there or like, honestly, like one thing we could do is like do silly debates or something where it's like you pull a thing out of a hat and you have to defend it.

[00:25:08] Yeah.

[00:25:09] Well, the other person has to not defend it.

[00:25:12] So for me, I would be defending the Jaguar.

[00:25:15] And then for you, you would also be defending the Jaguar because no one likes the N64.

[00:25:23] I also would, I definitely also want to do more retrospectives this year.

[00:25:27] Like we have big focus topics.

[00:25:29] Like we definitely got to do more consoles retrospectives.

[00:25:33] Like we only did.

[00:25:34] I only did a few last year because I know we did the Saturn.

[00:25:38] And I think like one other, well, we, we kind of did another Jaguar one, but that.

[00:25:43] It might be good to go back and revisit some of them too, that we did.

[00:25:48] Cause like we did the Dreamcast a while ago, but I would like to go and revisit that or even like the Genesis, Nintendo, all these stuff.

[00:25:57] Like we could go back and revisit.

[00:25:59] Oh yeah.

[00:25:59] Yeah.

[00:26:00] Do GameCube without a UPS guy fucking throwing a package at the door.

[00:26:04] Yeah.

[00:26:06] Amazon.

[00:26:07] Like you don't have to announce, you don't have to announce, sir.

[00:26:11] Is it wait, isn't that the episode though?

[00:26:13] I also pulled out a can of beans.

[00:26:16] I don't remember which one of the beans were.

[00:26:18] I don't remember either.

[00:26:19] I've been trying to remember, but maybe I should get more beans.

[00:26:23] What if I mail the case of beans to your house and it arrived during the middle of the podcast?

[00:26:27] Yes.

[00:26:28] That would be such a waste of money.

[00:26:31] Shut up.

[00:26:32] Any off topic.

[00:26:33] I really want tiramisu.

[00:26:35] Can you get me some tiramisu?

[00:26:38] Um, your birthday is coming up.

[00:26:40] I want tiramisu so badly.

[00:26:44] I'm looking it up real quick.

[00:26:49] Oh yeah.

[00:26:51] I got a new figure.

[00:26:53] Oh, you did?

[00:26:54] When'd you get that?

[00:26:56] It's not the one I got you, right?

[00:26:59] No, that's upstairs.

[00:27:01] I got a Mina from a kaiju number eight.

[00:27:04] Yeah.

[00:27:05] I knew she.

[00:27:07] She's gonna be best girl.

[00:27:09] Well, she is one of the best girls in that show.

[00:27:12] Honestly, there's not that many girls in it, but I think all of them are pretty much best girl.

[00:27:16] Girl pretty great.

[00:27:17] I just like the black hair.

[00:27:19] I just like the black hair.

[00:27:22] I have a type.

[00:27:24] Ew.

[00:27:28] Oh yeah.

[00:27:29] Alex also had a classic manga collecting moment where she goes to a store and just buys an entire series.

[00:27:35] Yeah.

[00:27:36] Well, yeah.

[00:27:37] So the story of that was I, well, I bought the first two volumes at Barnes and Noble and I just thought, okay.

[00:27:46] Like I thought that that was the only ones that were out.

[00:27:48] Cause those are the only ones that I had seen at Barnes and Noble.

[00:27:51] So I just assumed that.

[00:27:52] And then we get to a Newberry and then I'm like, shit, there's up to nine.

[00:27:58] I got it.

[00:27:59] And then I went on Amazon and I kept looking.

[00:28:02] I was like, okay, volume volumes three and four were both out of stock online.

[00:28:08] So I was like, okay, I'll go and grab those.

[00:28:10] And then six was online.

[00:28:11] So I was like, all right.

[00:28:12] And then seven, eight, seven and eight were also not available online.

[00:28:19] It was out of print.

[00:28:20] So I was like, fuck it.

[00:28:22] And I just bought all of it.

[00:28:28] Yeah.

[00:28:29] And I put it on my shelf in between.

[00:28:33] Dragon Ball and Jujutsu.

[00:28:36] Oh, and then I also went on Amazon because on Amazon, you go, all the manga is discounted on Amazon.

[00:28:44] Like even the pre-orders.

[00:28:46] Sometimes, depending on the manga.

[00:28:48] Yeah.

[00:28:49] A lot of the ones that I collect are always discounted.

[00:28:52] So I always tell people to like check online for you, before you like buy it in store.

[00:28:57] Cause you can get it discounted.

[00:28:58] Only problem might be is they might destroy your book.

[00:29:01] Like they did to my soul leveling volume.

[00:29:03] I'm still mad at you, Amazon.

[00:29:05] I'm still mad.

[00:29:06] Um, but I got the box set of chainsaw man from volumes one to.

[00:29:11] Oh yeah.

[00:29:11] I forgot you ordered that.

[00:29:13] I got that.

[00:29:14] And it was like this list price was like a hundred bucks.

[00:29:17] And I got it for like 40.

[00:29:19] And then with, I have the special prime credit card thing.

[00:29:25] So I get points back for everything.

[00:29:27] So I only spent 10 bucks on that volume of mug.

[00:29:31] Cause I use my points.

[00:29:32] So 10 volumes, $10.

[00:29:34] I spent a dollar on each volume.

[00:29:36] And I put it on my shelf next to solo leveling and die dark.

[00:29:43] You're gonna have to get the rest of a chainsaw man though.

[00:29:45] I know I have a list going.

[00:29:47] That's just on Amazon.

[00:29:48] That's just all the manga I need to catch up with.

[00:29:50] So for my birthday, I'll just send it to Bill and be like, okay, pick from this list.

[00:29:56] Okay.

[00:29:56] Yeah.

[00:29:57] It's really funny though.

[00:29:58] Cause you know how like.

[00:30:01] And a cheeseburger cake.

[00:30:03] Wait, they have frozen.

[00:30:06] Ew.

[00:30:07] Frozen tiramisu.

[00:30:08] What does that mean?

[00:30:10] Ew.

[00:30:11] Isn't that like a drink?

[00:30:13] It's at Olive Garden.

[00:30:14] Can we go to Olive Garden?

[00:30:15] No, I don't want diarrhea for like a week.

[00:30:18] But they got the brain sticks.

[00:30:21] That's probably what causes it.

[00:30:24] No, no, no, no.

[00:30:26] The last time I went to Olive Garden was right before the world ended.

[00:30:31] All right.

[00:30:31] I guess we're going.

[00:30:32] We'll see what happens.

[00:30:34] Well, I want to go.

[00:30:36] I want to go.

[00:30:38] Go be that lonely person who goes to Olive Garden by themselves.

[00:30:41] Oh my Marshall.

[00:30:45] No, I want to go.

[00:30:47] You know how like Barnes & Noble and like Newberry like to just release manga early, like before the scheduled release date?

[00:30:54] Yes.

[00:30:55] Well, I've discovered that Amazon does this too apparently sometimes.

[00:30:58] Oh.

[00:31:00] Because I had pre-ordered a volume that was supposed to show up on Tuesday and it showed up like Sunday night.

[00:31:05] I was like, oh, that's like I guess they don't give a fuck either.

[00:31:09] Well, they got their money.

[00:31:11] If you pre-order it, but if you don't like pre-order in time, you know, like if you pre-order it really early.

[00:31:19] I didn't even pre-order that early.

[00:31:21] I only ordered it like the week before.

[00:31:22] Whoa.

[00:31:24] I don't know this.

[00:31:25] It just showed up.

[00:31:27] It showed up Sunday night and I was like, oh, okay.

[00:31:33] Oh, Bill.

[00:31:34] I found like eight restaurants that said, oh, the place down the street with the cannolis.

[00:31:40] They have tiramisu.

[00:31:43] Have you?

[00:31:44] The place down the street?

[00:31:45] With the cannolis.

[00:31:48] The coffee place?

[00:31:49] The cannolis.

[00:31:51] Oh, you mean the Russo's?

[00:31:54] Yeah.

[00:31:55] Okay.

[00:31:56] I was like the place down the street.

[00:31:58] Have you had the pizza there?

[00:32:00] No.

[00:32:01] All right.

[00:32:01] Maybe we'll do that this weekend and I'll get some tiramisu.

[00:32:04] I want tiramisu.

[00:32:07] You know what's one of my favorite podcast lines?

[00:32:10] What?

[00:32:11] I was listening back to one where I don't, I think we were talking about going up.

[00:32:16] I was trying to get a little scarecrow from my little bench and I go, I want a darling

[00:32:22] little scarecrow.

[00:32:23] Yeah.

[00:32:24] It just made me laugh so hard.

[00:32:27] I don't know why.

[00:32:29] How?

[00:32:30] So it's 2025.

[00:32:31] Now, how many times have you already fucked up the date?

[00:32:35] Oh, surprisingly.

[00:32:36] I haven't messed it up that bad.

[00:32:39] That's good.

[00:32:40] I've been pretty good.

[00:32:41] I honestly don't think I've actually messed it up once this year.

[00:32:44] Maybe it's just because I wanted 2024 to be over so badly.

[00:32:47] I was very much done with 2024.

[00:32:50] And that, I think that's also why I redid my little workspace because I needed a change.

[00:32:55] I needed positivity going into the new year.

[00:33:01] Y-M-C-A.

[00:33:05] Nice.

[00:33:06] Y-M-C-A.

[00:33:08] Can you get the Y-M-C-A theme?

[00:33:11] Like a very bad?

[00:33:13] That is heavy.

[00:33:14] Not all version.

[00:33:15] That is a copy-ridden song.

[00:33:17] Even the melody is probably copy-ridden.

[00:33:20] Well, like, it just needs to be slightly off.

[00:33:23] I can just do...

[00:33:27] Yeah.

[00:33:28] That's about all we can do.

[00:33:29] No, no, keep playing it.

[00:33:30] You didn't play it for that long.

[00:33:32] No, you're not going on a tangent.

[00:33:33] No, I could.

[00:33:35] Don't get me started, Bill!

[00:33:38] Oh, you know what else would be funny?

[00:33:40] Is to do like a...

[00:33:43] Like, do like a shark tank bit.

[00:33:45] We could do this with friends.

[00:33:47] Where they have to like pitch like fake products and see if we want to invest.

[00:33:56] I feel like that could be a...

[00:33:57] That could be its own independent podcast.

[00:34:01] It could be.

[00:34:02] Well, we started on here and then we'll see where it goes.

[00:34:06] That could be a fun little bit.

[00:34:08] Because we can even center it around like, okay, pitch your own video game.

[00:34:12] Then we'd see if we'd buy.

[00:34:14] If we'd be in.

[00:34:16] As stakeholders.

[00:34:19] I think that would be fun.

[00:34:20] You know what would be fun?

[00:34:22] We should do like, for a couple episodes in the future, we should find like a free MMO online.

[00:34:28] And just play it for like a month and then do an episode on it.

[00:34:32] That would be fun.

[00:34:33] I'd be interested in doing that.

[00:34:35] Yeah.

[00:34:35] I'd have to think.

[00:34:37] I mean, obviously, RuneScape is still the only MMO I really care about like long term, but...

[00:34:42] I'd like to try some free ones.

[00:34:44] I need to get back into RuneScape.

[00:34:45] But I, yeah.

[00:34:46] I feel like there's a ton out there now.

[00:34:48] Might as well give it a try.

[00:34:50] Also might be fun too to just like random go on Steam and just like try and find the most garbage looking game.

[00:34:58] And seeing how it goes.

[00:35:01] Oh, don't turn the safe search filter off.

[00:35:05] Eww!

[00:35:07] There is some wonderful garbage on Steam.

[00:35:14] But, yeah.

[00:35:17] That would be really fun.

[00:35:20] I want to do more music themed episodes too.

[00:35:23] Like talk about like specific like game soundtracks, like stuff like that.

[00:35:27] Maybe do some composer retrospectives because there are some amazing video game composers out there.

[00:35:32] Hmm.

[00:35:34] That would be neat.

[00:35:36] Hmm.

[00:35:38] Yeah, stuff like that.

[00:35:39] Maybe even do like a ranking too.

[00:35:41] Oh, we talked about tier lists too.

[00:35:43] Tier lists at some point.

[00:35:45] We should get into more tier lists.

[00:35:46] We might save those for Super Pod specials though and make them big group events.

[00:35:53] We'll see.

[00:35:55] We'll see.

[00:35:56] We'll see.

[00:35:56] I want to be involved.

[00:35:58] I like the tier list.

[00:36:00] But I want them to be really dumb.

[00:36:02] Like...

[00:36:03] Oh, the water bottle tier list will happen.

[00:36:05] That's our...

[00:36:05] Aaron's already planning that.

[00:36:07] Yeah.

[00:36:07] For at some point.

[00:36:08] I better be involved.

[00:36:09] Oh, I'm pretty sure Thrak's response was Alex has to be there.

[00:36:14] It's like it wouldn't be right without her.

[00:36:16] No.

[00:36:18] I would be very upset.

[00:36:21] Kirkland signatures.

[00:36:23] S tier.

[00:36:24] S.

[00:36:26] That is true.

[00:36:30] I was also had an interesting thing.

[00:36:32] Like I was thinking about like we could do like a series where like we look at mangas and then we compare them to their anime counterparts and we see which is the same.

[00:36:39] Which one did it better?

[00:36:41] Oh, yeah.

[00:36:42] Well, because there's definitely some that like you'll look at the manga versus the anime and you'll be like the manga is definitely superior to the anime.

[00:36:52] Well, for Geek Addicts right now we're doing this one currently and...

[00:36:57] Ah, Dragon Ball Super.

[00:36:58] The manga for Super is very interesting because it takes a lot of different turns that I was not expecting and I'm very interested in continuing on because I'm in the tournament of power right now.

[00:37:11] Uh huh.

[00:37:12] It's...

[00:37:13] So I love...

[00:37:14] It's not even like I prefer the manga version.

[00:37:17] It's just...

[00:37:17] It's fascinating like the things they do differently.

[00:37:22] What volume was that?

[00:37:24] Uh, volume seven.

[00:37:26] Oh, really?

[00:37:27] So the manga really...

[00:37:30] Where the show cuts off, there's so much more content.

[00:37:33] I...

[00:37:34] Okay.

[00:37:34] Yeah.

[00:37:35] Well, you also got to remember too...

[00:37:36] I need to start reading that.

[00:37:37] The manga kind of skips over, um...

[00:37:41] Battle of Gods and, uh...

[00:37:45] Return of Resurrection F.

[00:37:47] It kind of goes like straight into the, uh, the first, the, the Universe 6 arc.

[00:37:51] Yep.

[00:37:52] And then straight into Goku Black.

[00:37:54] Like all the filler's gone.

[00:37:55] Like it's all...

[00:37:56] It's all just like main story stuff, but it's done differently.

[00:38:00] And then come...

[00:38:03] After Tournament of Power, it goes completely in a different direction.

[00:38:06] So I'm very interested in seeing what's coming up next.

[00:38:10] Hmm.

[00:38:10] I'll definitely have to start reading that more.

[00:38:13] Especially because I have so...

[00:38:15] I have so much I need to read.

[00:38:18] I know.

[00:38:19] I have to catch up on a lot of series this year.

[00:38:22] I mean, I think a good one would be the Fushiji Yuji manga.

[00:38:27] Looking at that compared to the anime.

[00:38:29] Especially because like the anime is...

[00:38:31] I mean...

[00:38:32] I mean, looking at the art...

[00:38:34] You've looked at it before.

[00:38:35] And you've seen clips of it.

[00:38:38] Like the...

[00:38:38] It's a much older series.

[00:38:40] So seeing like even how the older animation held up to the...

[00:38:44] It might be good to look back on.

[00:38:46] It would definitely be fun to look at some older series as well.

[00:38:49] Like kind of forgotten series.

[00:38:51] Because there's a lot out there.

[00:38:53] That's like old, but good.

[00:38:55] Well, it's just so funny now.

[00:38:57] Because we're kind of spoiled in the sense that like a lot of animes that come out now...

[00:39:01] They're pretty manga accurate.

[00:39:04] Yeah.

[00:39:05] Like we don't get a lot of like...

[00:39:08] Bizarre like...

[00:39:10] Interpretations anymore.

[00:39:11] Like the days of like the OG Full Metal Alchemist like 03...

[00:39:15] Are probably longer...

[00:39:17] Baskets.

[00:39:18] Baskets.

[00:39:19] Yeah.

[00:39:20] Well, now...

[00:39:21] Especially now it's like they take that...

[00:39:23] Like I had to explain to my co-worker about Black Clover.

[00:39:27] Because he was like, oh, I saw something about...

[00:39:29] And now it's like someone was talking about season five.

[00:39:32] Like the next season.

[00:39:32] I'm like, no.

[00:39:34] There is no way that they is going to get an anime anytime soon.

[00:39:39] A chapter comes out like once every three months at this point.

[00:39:43] Yeah.

[00:39:43] Because the artist...

[00:39:45] The artist is struggling right now.

[00:39:47] Yeah.

[00:39:47] Which is totally fine.

[00:39:49] But at this point, they're not going to adapt because they're just going to run into the same problem.

[00:39:53] The only way we'll get more is like maybe we get a movie of like the next arc of the series, which would be the Spade Kingdom arc.

[00:40:03] But that would be it.

[00:40:05] Like we...

[00:40:07] There's just not enough material to continue.

[00:40:09] Or we get like mini seasons and they just come out infrequently.

[00:40:13] Yeah.

[00:40:14] But I honestly think they're probably just...

[00:40:16] With the pace that show went, it's either they're going to come out much later or it's never going to come back.

[00:40:23] Well, I find it very interesting that they did not do like what Rurouni Kenshin 96 did.

[00:40:29] Where like once they caught up with the manga where it was at the time, they kind of tried this briefly with filler and then they realized this is a dumb idea like really fast.

[00:40:38] Because like Rurouni Kenshin 96 infamously had an entire season of nothing but filler and it was so bad it got the show canceled before they could do the final arc.

[00:40:47] Yeah.

[00:40:48] Well, Black Clover had that one season of that one section of filler with like the...

[00:40:54] The...

[00:40:56] The...

[00:40:57] The devil worshippers.

[00:40:59] Yeah.

[00:41:00] Why is it always a religious arc?

[00:41:02] Because fucking Rurouni Kenshin also had a religious arc.

[00:41:04] That was bad.

[00:41:06] The...

[00:41:06] That arc was not great.

[00:41:09] Thankfully though they realized real fast, yeah, this is a bad idea.

[00:41:12] Let's not do...

[00:41:13] Yeah.

[00:41:13] And I'm honestly glad that they just decided to stop it.

[00:41:17] But it just...

[00:41:17] It still sucks because they stopped it where like it really the show becomes peak.

[00:41:21] Like that last fight is still incredible.

[00:41:26] Like...

[00:41:26] Right when the series gets super fucking interesting they're like, nope, ended here.

[00:41:31] Yeah.

[00:41:32] Not saying it wasn't interesting before but like holy shit it gets...

[00:41:36] It's like...

[00:41:36] That's like where it gets fucking crazy.

[00:41:38] No, that last fight is incredible.

[00:41:40] Like with Asta and Yami fighting against the Spade...

[00:41:45] The Spade Kingdom.

[00:41:47] Like that is one of the most incredible fights.

[00:41:50] Like in this...

[00:41:51] That's the best fight animated in the series.

[00:41:53] Or like when you know in the Golden Dawn scene.

[00:41:58] Like that is like so...

[00:41:59] Like it gets so intense and then you're just like, damn it!

[00:42:05] Yeah.

[00:42:07] Yeah.

[00:42:09] I think that's basically it.

[00:42:12] I mean this is mostly just a sneak peek.

[00:42:13] Wait, wait, wait, wait.

[00:42:15] Wait, let me look at your...

[00:42:16] Let me look at your thumbnail that you yelled at me for not looking at but I looked at it.

[00:42:21] Um...

[00:42:22] What else?

[00:42:23] I think we covered all by our talking points.

[00:42:26] Damn it!

[00:42:26] You're right!

[00:42:28] You know what I haven't done in a while that I realized?

[00:42:32] The...

[00:42:32] Who...

[00:42:33] Who's that guy that you always kept saying I sounded like?

[00:42:37] Oh, Macho Man Randy Savage.

[00:42:39] I haven't sounded like him in a while.

[00:42:41] I haven't done that in a while.

[00:42:42] With the cream of the crop.

[00:42:43] I haven't done it in a while.

[00:42:45] And I never will again.

[00:42:46] I don't sound like that.

[00:42:49] Sure.

[00:42:51] What?

[00:42:52] Why have I sounded like that again?

[00:42:54] Why haven't I made that a sound bite in here?

[00:42:57] What?

[00:42:58] I could make that a sound bite up here.

[00:43:00] Isn't there a clip of me going on the cream of the crop?

[00:43:03] Yeah, it's on our Discord.

[00:43:06] Oh yeah!

[00:43:07] Like the Discord where I would just spam it over and over.

[00:43:10] You should put all those sound bites on there.

[00:43:12] Well, we can only have so many.

[00:43:14] I'm hungry!

[00:43:15] I'm pretty sure that's in there too.

[00:43:18] Get more.

[00:43:20] Get more sound boots.

[00:43:23] But yeah, I think we covered everything.

[00:43:25] This was mostly supposed to just be a brief sneak peek into what we're planning next year.

[00:43:30] Next week we're going to get full on back into the swing of episodes.

[00:43:33] We have a very interesting one planned next.

[00:43:36] Yeah, I'm excited about the next one.

[00:43:37] I'm excited about it.

[00:43:39] It's going to be good.

[00:43:40] It's going to be good.

[00:43:41] I'm interested in that one.

[00:43:43] Maybe DingleDoo will make an appearance.

[00:43:45] Did she appear?

[00:43:46] Nah, I haven't seen her this time.

[00:43:47] She was in her tree when I last saw her.

[00:43:50] So she was having tree time.
