[00:00:00] My wife and I are generally against letting the kids play video games just in case you're learning games on the iPad

[00:00:06] But he was really interested in Daddy's toy. That's a weird way to fucking do that. I hate that so much

[00:00:12] Especially after what I just saw the words and I heard them come out of your mouth at the same time

[00:00:18] And I just died this this is another case of before I even finish it

[00:00:23] She needs to take the kids

[00:00:25] Yeah

[00:00:26] Kids please get those kids out of there

[00:00:29] Welcome to gaming together a cooperative podcast each pod

[00:00:38] We played through a cooperative experience then relate to you the listener if this game is the crimp to la crème of co-op or something better off playing solo

[00:00:43] I'm here at my co-op partner Rachel

[00:00:45] Hello, and also we've got another returning guest red fox. What up y'all?

[00:00:51] You might remember red fox from our Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was it turtles in time turtles in time

[00:00:56] We all played a different version. Oh, yeah

[00:00:58] Go check that out if you want to hear that originally, but also he's got his own podcast

[00:01:02] You want to plug your stuff there? Oh sure

[00:01:04] So I operate to podcast for my network night living podcast where we talk about pop culture movies

[00:01:11] Games TV that kind of jazz and we have the super slash brothers podcast where we talk

[00:01:17] Exclusively hard movies talking all that to if you shit

[00:01:20] I got embarrassed because so I didn't know you had to podcast whenever I'm trying to find a guest for a game

[00:01:25] I go on Twitter and I just search for the game and then sort by followers and I saw that you were talking about this

[00:01:30] But on your super slash bros pod so we talked for like two or three days

[00:01:35] About doing this podcast together before you ended up saying oh, I was I was expect

[00:01:39] I was on my night of the living podcast Twitter. I didn't see this. Sorry. I didn't give back to you

[00:01:43] And I was just like oh

[00:01:46] We're second I was like oh shit the name uninvite me to the podcast

[00:01:50] I was like I don't see the threat of like no thinking I'm like

[00:01:52] Well, no, he wouldn't have deleted been able to delete my responses back to it. Yeah, so I

[00:01:59] Got in's with Elon Musk, you know, I'm getting paid

[00:02:01] I'm actually a paid show for Twitter for X

[00:02:04] I mean, I got a call at X. I lose twenty thousand dollars every time I call it Twitter. So make sense

[00:02:09] Yeah, unfortunately, but we are a gaming podcast actually fuck the gaming podcast. We had an insurgency here

[00:02:17] This we had this goose insurgency going on outside

[00:02:20] But we were do we were fixing our notes these fucking geese showed up and just like a whole

[00:02:25] Mongolian horde of geese just outside of my window. These are cobra chickens. They were just like

[00:02:31] creeping through the parking lot just like

[00:02:34] Tight formation they had a few in the back spot and the guys in the front archer stationed on the roof

[00:02:40] So like just malicious, you know

[00:02:45] Malicious intent and then like a little bit later

[00:02:48] You just I see these people like pull up into the parking lot and they're just standing there talking

[00:02:53] And then I see the guy like pull out one of those wide

[00:02:56] Cyrofilm food containers and he opens it and the moment that shit opens

[00:03:01] I just see four geese come out of nowhere

[00:03:04] Just fucking be lining it to the dude as fast as they possibly can

[00:03:09] You we have insurgents here in our apartment complex that are conspiring against me specifically to get the goose is used

[00:03:16] To eating outside of my apartment and so they all congregate there now

[00:03:21] You're in a DLC level to untitled goose game right now

[00:03:23] I think so. I'm just an MPC

[00:03:25] well like I keep watching and like those people immediately leave and like not even 30 seconds later a

[00:03:32] Fucking cop car just like peels around the corner starts like honking at the goose a second cop car

[00:03:39] Immediately shows up pulls up next to the other cop car blocking the whole road and they're just sitting there honking at the geese

[00:03:47] Did you know cop cars had a goose sound? Yeah make a sound that's not it. I've never

[00:03:55] They just fucking showed up out of nowhere so fast like just honking at the geese and the geese are just mad at this point

[00:04:04] So I can hear the geese honking too

[00:04:09] Warzone outside they had to break up the riot that's incredible. So that's what we were experiencing

[00:04:14] We're just in the middle of a war zone

[00:04:16] Our patreon's in the description if you want to donate to us

[00:04:20] Anyways, we are video games podcast. We're gonna talk about what games we've been playing lately

[00:04:24] Um, I so I've been on I'm done with my Mortal Kombat saga. It's over

[00:04:30] Mortal Kombat 11 Mortal Kombat 1 both of them polished off those story modes aren't that long

[00:04:34] So it's not that hard to do I'm gonna middle one now. Oh, you're playing one

[00:04:38] all right, well

[00:04:39] I was I'm not gonna spoil one specifically because it's the newest one but um

[00:04:42] Mortal Kombat 11 a really good

[00:04:46] So good. I threw it up an STR

[00:04:48] I was really happy with how everything kind of came together one of the characters I was sad about

[00:04:53] Jackie cage. She kind of redeems herself. She gets better. She gets a character. She has it like emotions and motivations

[00:05:00] It's really cool

[00:05:02] Jacks has a big part in it which Jacks is one of my favorite characters

[00:05:05] And I don't know there's just a lot of good stuff that happens in Mortal Kombat 11

[00:05:08] Mortal Kombat 1 I put at the top of a tier

[00:05:11] So not all the way into us because there's some things that I kind of that bug me a little bit

[00:05:16] but I do enjoy the new direction of the game and

[00:05:19] I'm probably going to buy the next combat pass because I think there's going to be another story

[00:05:24] Just like in Mortal Kombat 11 had the extra story with that or math. Yeah. Yeah, and oh man

[00:05:29] I think that's what put MK 11 in the STR for me specifically was just that they had the actor from the original Mortal Kombat Shang Tsung

[00:05:37] Do the face or animations and voice act for the role of Shang Tsung again?

[00:05:42] I was just so happy. I before we played Mortal Kombat 11

[00:05:45] I had to sit down with Rachel and be like, hey, we got to watch this movie first

[00:05:48] By the way, this movie means a lot to me. So don't say anything negative about it

[00:05:52] Oh, those movies are awesome and that dude is always Shang Tsung like that's just him

[00:05:56] Yeah, he's a huge act man will forever just be Wolverine or Harrison Ford is always like Indiana Jones

[00:06:02] Yeah, the loop every single in the first movie every single actor is like perfect for their role

[00:06:06] Like it is crazy. The Liu Kang is also like that's even though I see I'm known Liu Kang for so long

[00:06:11] I see that low Kang and I'm like that's him like I that can't be anyone else

[00:06:15] He's only allowed to be one but yeah, so Mortal Kombat 11 more common one very good games

[00:06:19] I'm also playing super

[00:06:21] Star saga that's like the hardest thing to say because I interact with super pod saga all the time

[00:06:27] Super star saga. I'm about halfway through. I think I just got the fire

[00:06:32] Like abilities the fire electricity and so I played this game before I'm just doing it for an

[00:06:38] Astall just sake just to use my switch because Rachel's been playing games

[00:06:41] I can just punt it over to her but she's been every time she's on the xbox when I come home

[00:06:45] Or whenever I wake up. I'm just like, all right. I'll just pull the switch out

[00:06:48] It's time to play super star saga. So Rachel, what have you been playing while kicking me off of the TV?

[00:06:53] How dare you uh mostly the dark picture anthology games

[00:06:59] Yes, lots of those I

[00:07:02] Have wanted to play them for a while

[00:07:03] I realized that I beat them in the completely like wrong order that they released in

[00:07:07] I don't think it really matters

[00:07:09] But I played the devil in me first which was the last one other than little hope

[00:07:14] Which was the second one and then how ass is which was the third one?

[00:07:19] You just went full bucket. They knew they all have like their

[00:07:23] Goods and beds

[00:07:25] Uh house of ashes probably had the best cast. Yeah, I didn't want them all to die

[00:07:30] I was very proud because I did not kill anyone in that one. Oh nice

[00:07:34] The other two I have killed people right at the end and that one I was they all fucking made it out alive

[00:07:41] I

[00:07:41] When stress is at maximum so you said house of ashes has the best characters. What has the which one so far is the worst characters?

[00:07:49] um

[00:07:50] Out of the three she still hasn't played the first one. Oh pick me. I know who has the worst characters

[00:07:55] I'm sure we have all the same answer, but

[00:07:57] Uh, I'm sorry

[00:08:00] Probably it's really hard to choose honestly because I didn't really like the characters and either of the other ones

[00:08:06] that I've played um, I

[00:08:08] Honestly, I really just didn't like most of the characters in little hope

[00:08:13] Same

[00:08:14] Except for the kid who the kid with the eyebrows. I forget his name. Yeah the kid who uh plays the

[00:08:19] bully and toy story that guy little hope for me was

[00:08:23] All the almost all the games I'll have one character that I'm just like, uh, this character kind of sucks

[00:08:28] But they're supposed to suck they're supposed to be the one that you're like, ah, it's fine

[00:08:31] This one dies

[00:08:31] But the one the one that I didn't like and I told us I'll sell this to Rachel was the devil in me

[00:08:37] I don't think I like any of the characters except for the two guys

[00:08:42] Are there is there's only two guys?

[00:08:44] I'm trying to remember the

[00:08:45] I mean right so the black guy and the old guy

[00:08:49] And then there's the black girl white girl and then

[00:08:53] Indian girl the two guys are the only ones that I like

[00:08:57] God yeah

[00:08:59] Is is

[00:09:01] Literally, I don't know man. I don't know their name, but man. I made me mad. They depicted asthma

[00:09:06] so poorly poorly

[00:09:09] Fuck dude

[00:09:11] Oh, so I have a question rachel. So you said you played the man like the wrong order. I I'm playing through them too

[00:09:17] I fucking love these games. Have you tried until dawn?

[00:09:21] uh, so I played until dawn like

[00:09:25] Forever ago on someone else's playstation

[00:09:28] Uh, so I would really love to play it again

[00:09:32] Wait for the remake that's coming out. Yeah, that's gonna be incredible

[00:09:35] I really want to play it and like the cast on that one is crazy like

[00:09:39] I went through until me and my lady played through until dawn

[00:09:43] We got like two people killed no big deal. We you know, the first person died

[00:09:47] We just we messed up. We went left. We didn't go right whatever would have been cool if they stayed alive

[00:09:51] But he died the other person died because like I we thought story wise turns out you could do some crazy shit and end up saving them

[00:09:59] But all I cared about was keeping Hayden Panetair's character alive

[00:10:04] And when I tell you we didn't even realize that it was the final decision

[00:10:08] And tried to keep it was like keep the con we're like talking. I'm holding the controller in my hand

[00:10:13] Like a rookie move just holding it and all of a sudden like shit hit the fan

[00:10:18] It was a jump scare and like I went to grab the controller and it's like stay still

[00:10:22] And I'm holding the controller like this and my hands are like shaking. She died they escaped

[00:10:27] Bam we lost her in the last five seconds of the fucking game

[00:10:30] That was like what happened with me and the old dude and the devil and me

[00:10:34] Like I had come to the live through all like the furnace shit

[00:10:38] And then I just fucking like panicked and hit y on one of the breathing events

[00:10:44] Just before it even started. I was like, oh shit. I gotta hit a button and he just died instantly and I was so mad

[00:10:52] Meanwhile that one chick she fucking Rachel messed up 20 quick time events in a row and she still survived and I'm just like dude

[00:10:59] That's whatever and that guy was I loved that guy

[00:11:02] I did that in the quarry where I was like running from something and I kept fucking up and somehow they just survived

[00:11:07] I'm like, oh cool. So they're immortal got it. They're fucking immortal

[00:11:11] I did um the devil and me was the last one that I did I started buying them in hard copies

[00:11:15] So it was like for some reason they go on sale on like woot and amazon for like seven eight bucks

[00:11:20] So I'm like, yeah, I'm gonna collect them then but we just did the uh devil and me probably about a month ago

[00:11:26] I liked it a lot

[00:11:27] More than I liked little hope. We had so we had so many fucking theories about little hope and what it was gonna be

[00:11:35] Everything was better than what the actual fucking reveal was. Oh, yeah, the reveal was bad

[00:11:38] We thought aliens. Okay. So little hope had

[00:11:43] I think the best atmosphere in my opinion because I was fucking cool

[00:11:48] Like the atmosphere the monsters like

[00:11:51] The foreign kill vibes. Yeah, it felt like something that would be scary if it were happening to you

[00:11:57] Obviously the other things are scary, but like it has like this sense of like fucking dread

[00:12:02] That one it's like in all of the different games that one specifically is the one where if you dropped me in the middle

[00:12:08] Of it, I just like ah fucking kill me. I don't want to do any of this

[00:12:10] Like I don't want to look at like some dude with a fence inside of his body trying to chase me everywhere

[00:12:17] Like that should scary but you know a giant

[00:12:22] Flying vampire. That's somehow less scary

[00:12:25] Yeah

[00:12:26] I don't know. I just seen too many like Arnold Schwarzenegger ass movies where they fight monsters like that where I'm like

[00:12:33] I think I could take one. I think I'd take one if I had a gun

[00:12:36] I think at least one of them. Yeah

[00:12:38] So like for me, they all had their own benefits like the devil and me it felt the best to play like

[00:12:44] Mechanically like it felt more natural like moving your characters the animations look better

[00:12:50] Like this is the newest one because yeah, because it's the newest one

[00:12:53] Little hope had the best atmosphere house of ashes had the best characters. I can't wait to play house of ashes

[00:12:59] We just got this one. Uh, it's funny you bring these up because we literally just got this like a week

[00:13:03] Yo, um, have you played the quarry? Sorry. See we're all in here. No, you're good. I haven't

[00:13:09] What would I do play these?

[00:13:11] But I've like seen the end of it. So I know like what happens

[00:13:14] But I will probably play that soon the quarries. Yeah, I've played it

[00:13:19] We played it for our show and that is the worst one for co-op

[00:13:22] The problem was I was the one playing and and when you play in co-op

[00:13:26] Only one person plays and the other people just get to sit there and ping on the screen

[00:13:31] And they and everyone votes what the decisions are but it doesn't matter what the vote is

[00:13:35] It only is so the person that's playing the game can take into consideration the other choices, right?

[00:13:41] How to screw the story

[00:13:42] Yeah, but I I did like the quarry and are you gonna be playing the newest one the one that's going to be based in the

[00:13:49] What is that game? What universe is the newest one coming in? Oh from my day by daylight day by daylight. That's it

[00:13:54] Yeah, uh, the casting of frank stone. Absolutely. It's already pre-ordered. I got it on my wishlist

[00:13:59] I'm always eyeballing these games. There's so many games that I've been I want to buy lately and I

[00:14:03] I've been spending a little egregiously lately also. So it's like I gotta be careful at this point

[00:14:08] Same I just bought a gaming pc like not even a month ago and when I tell you the second something comes on steam

[00:14:13] I'm like, yeah, let's get let's go ahead and buy that one sale and never play it

[00:14:18] It's tough steam is the worst one about it

[00:14:20] I think well, I mean it's like steam and xbox or the both because xbox sales are pretty good

[00:14:25] Nowhere new steam sales obviously and obviously there are also off-site sales too

[00:14:29] Like key sites or like humble bundles and stuff. Oh man. I just bought the resident evil humble

[00:14:34] Which oh, I think I saw that it was like six bucks for all of them or something like that

[00:14:38] There are 25 bucks so you can get every one of them except for the re4 remake

[00:14:43] Fucking insane

[00:14:44] And it's the complete edition for each one which is even better like I don't own them on everything else

[00:14:50] That's crazy. I literally just be art resident evil zero. I think it was two weeks ago

[00:14:54] I've just been jonesing for resident evil again

[00:14:56] I was gonna say play evil with him, but I I seen your tweet of the tearless making it to a c and I was like

[00:15:01] Ah that hurts. I think I'm gonna play the second one

[00:15:04] I'm definitely gonna play the second one eventually because I just think that the evil then was

[00:15:09] If I would have played it when it first came out, I would have loved this game

[00:15:12] That's like I think the thing that disappoints me the most

[00:15:14] But now I've played so many survival horror games, especially post resident evil 4 remake and resident evil 2 remake and so I'm just like

[00:15:22] I don't it's hard because I don't want to hold it against this game

[00:15:25] But I have to because I'm so frustrated all the time when I'm playing it

[00:15:28] I can't just lie about it, you know

[00:15:31] But I I am excited for evil then too because most people that saw that was like, okay

[00:15:35] Yeah, all the things you're complaining about are fixed in this game. Oh like mostly the gameplay

[00:15:40] Yeah, I have started and stopped evil within two probably about four times now

[00:15:46] I just the open world thing is cool until it gets in your way. Oh no, it's open world. Why did oh, yeah, it's uh, it's sandboxed

[00:15:56] Partially sandboxed makes sense why people didn't tell me that because I'm a notorious open world hater

[00:16:00] So, oh I remember

[00:16:02] Oh man. Well, I mean maybe ah god. I'm gonna play it. I'm gonna play it

[00:16:07] I'm committed to it especially after the the studio shutdown or not like a shutdown. It got sold off

[00:16:12] Oh, uh tango game works just got bought out. Yeah, um, I forget what gaming developer it is

[00:16:18] What they're big for but they just uh got bought the studio

[00:16:21] Yeah, and and they and the ip uh with it. What was it?

[00:16:25] Hi-fi rush

[00:16:26] Yes, hell. Yeah, dude, which is great because that's the ip that i'm like, yes

[00:16:30] That's the one. Yes. Well also, I mean I don't want to we're going crazy right now

[00:16:35] But uh evil then too we're gonna play it eventually

[00:16:37] Rachel is also playing fallout 4. Do you want to talk a little about that? You're not really playing it

[00:16:42] I just read like I've beat fallout 4 but I just decided to play it on

[00:16:47] My xbox account so I could get achievements because I've only played it on steam

[00:16:52] Steam achievements don't count. No, oh

[00:16:55] Apparently and then I also played the Stanley parable and that was neat

[00:17:00] I clicked on a lot of doors. Yeah, he seemed to

[00:17:04] Adore it beyond all comprehension like I do but all right, uh red fox. What are you playing?

[00:17:10] So I am on my

[00:17:12] I am on my fourth playthrough of elden ring right now. Um, I have beaten it on

[00:17:19] Uh, I beat I played it originally on xbox

[00:17:21] But like I tried to play because me and my uh me and my team play

[00:17:24] Through a lot of games co-op so we did a lot of like all the dark souls games and shit the firm softs

[00:17:30] And when elden ring came out we were playing at co-op

[00:17:33] um

[00:17:34] But like I didn't enjoy it the first time around I actually kind of hated it because

[00:17:39] they

[00:17:40] The problem is that like it's not cross progression. So you have to do everything in everyone's world. Yeah multiple times

[00:17:45] I was working way too much when it came out. So like I never like I kept falling drastically behind

[00:17:52] And then one weekend they just like went ball sort of wall and

[00:17:56] Went like you threw everything

[00:17:57] Yeah, and like but they carried me through it in a way where it's like I was missing story stuff

[00:18:03] I was missing things and not really fighting. I was kind of just running behind everyone

[00:18:08] Yeah, so then I dropped it and then earlier um last year

[00:18:12] I picked it up again. I was like, you know what? Fuck it. I'm gonna play

[00:18:16] And then I started over played for me getting loved it

[00:18:20] Then I played through it again before shadow of the earth through it came out

[00:18:24] Loved it became the elden lord. I'm the best at this fucking game

[00:18:28] Then I went and I bought it on um because I checked my xbox achievements and I was like, oh shit

[00:18:33] I'm one playthrough and like four achievements away from getting 100 on this game

[00:18:39] So I was like, yeah, but like I kind of care more about trophies now to have a playstation

[00:18:44] So I bought it on the ps5 and now i'm in the middle of a ps5 run

[00:18:48] Through it, but now i'm trying to share my time with elden ring and uh black myth wu kong

[00:18:54] Oh, yeah, I've been seeing a lot about this game. Oh, it's so fucking good

[00:18:59] It's a boss rush of a game. Oh, it's a boss rush game or is it pretty much it's like, okay

[00:19:04] It's chapter based and all but like

[00:19:08] Like if you ever played like nio or or one some games like that

[00:19:12] It's like that where a chapter based game

[00:19:14] But like in the chapter there's different paths you can take

[00:19:18] And like the one i'm in chapter one you can fight you fight like five bosses and two secret bosses

[00:19:24] Huh

[00:19:26] The one secret boss I fought literally because I was like, oh shit. What's that?

[00:19:31] Gate closes time to fight for your life

[00:19:33] It's basically what's his name the the

[00:19:36] What is the torus demon or something like that in dark souls all the torturous demon?

[00:19:40] Yeah

[00:19:40] Where you just walk into a place and then it's just like you're in a fight in a tiny closet and you're like with a giant demon

[00:19:46] And like what's that for a steaman and one dog that won't stop fighting at you

[00:19:50] You walk into the wrong dude's apartment

[00:19:53] That and uh, I've been playing pokemon x which is great. I've never been to the callows region before huge pokemon fan

[00:19:59] Never been to the callows region

[00:20:02] um, I picked it up at a toy show

[00:20:04] um in jersey, uh, like a week or two or about a week ago

[00:20:09] And I love it so much and I know all about callows. I've watched like pokemon x and y

[00:20:13] But I just I never went back and played that

[00:20:17] So then when I seen it I was like

[00:20:18] At 20 bucks, you know, uh, let me whip out the uh 3ds. It's one of my favorite consoles. So and I still play it so much

[00:20:26] um

[00:20:27] And it's

[00:20:28] Fucking it's fantastic. It's fantastic. I'm making all the wrong moves

[00:20:32] I have such a hard time with like I'll get so attached to a pokemon

[00:20:36] And then it's like a lot of these are new to me and I've never got to use them because they weren't in

[00:20:40] the later games

[00:20:42] So like I'll catch a pokemon and I'm like awesome

[00:20:45] You're gonna be the heavy hitter of my team

[00:20:47] Then I'm gonna spend four hours training you

[00:20:51] And then I'm gonna go to the next region and here's this little crocodile and I'm like

[00:20:56] So about you being the heavy hitter

[00:20:59] Welcome to the pc

[00:21:01] You my little crocodile are now my heavy hitter. Here's another four hours just power leveling you

[00:21:07] It is hardcore because it's like you can only have six pokemon with you

[00:21:10] But I think that's why people like nuzlocke so much because it's like you get

[00:21:14] You force yourself to have to switch characters because one fades and you're just like, all right

[00:21:18] Well, you're literally done. So I gotta figure out who I've got next. So like I don't know nuzlocke's are really fun

[00:21:24] I don't know if you've ever done one before but yeah, yeah, I've done one for fire

[00:21:28] Right, I think it was that was what we did as well. We did a we did a randomized

[00:21:35] Soulbound nuzlocke and it was a fucking nightmare. It almost I was almost like I'll never do this again

[00:21:40] But like after a year I was like man, I kind of want to do that again

[00:21:43] I don't know if we're ever going to get the time to be able to do something like that because that took commitment

[00:21:48] but

[00:21:49] On my uh on my twitch. I'm playing through fire red right now

[00:21:53] Um, I want to I think what I'm gonna do because that's like my when I don't really when I want to just stream

[00:21:58] but not do like

[00:22:00] A big committed night of something we do uh, we do a poke stream and we do fire red

[00:22:05] but like

[00:22:07] I want to do the twitch plays pokemon team

[00:22:11] For the original pokemon red and see if I can beat the game

[00:22:16] With what they use. Oh like exactly the pokemon they had are you gonna release some of are you gonna like

[00:22:21] Release the ones that they release and stuff like that. Oh, no, no, no

[00:22:25] I'm not gonna go against the prophet fair flare ariana and that the twitch plays pokemon has such fucking fun lore

[00:22:32] Lord helix

[00:22:33] I just want to I'm just going to play through it with exactly

[00:22:37] Who they have as their main team?

[00:22:40] And add no one else but them so basically most of the game is going to be able to pigioto

[00:22:46] Well bird jesus, you know

[00:22:49] Bird jesus battery jesus lord helix

[00:22:53] So rachel's been playing through this game called cassette piece. We had an episode on it

[00:22:57] But rachel really really loved this game. Did you ever play that this is like a sad piece?

[00:23:02] It is a pokemon clone, but

[00:23:05] It's really cute. You probably like it actually it's really good. Oh, this looks fantastic

[00:23:11] And the thing about it is that you know how pokemon have shinies in this game

[00:23:15] They're called bootlegs and it actually physically changes what what types they are and the types of their moves

[00:23:20] So if you have like based like a charm the charmander of that game you can get a bootleg

[00:23:24] That's like an ice type. It's basically the alohan versions and stuff like that

[00:23:28] You know what i'm yeah, i'm playing i'm gonna play this. What's this one steam?

[00:23:33] It's on everything. Yeah, I think it's on game pass if you have xbox still or pc

[00:23:36] But because rachel is playing it on pc game pass. Oh, okay perfect. I pc game pass. I'll download this tonight

[00:23:42] Yeah, so it's pretty sick

[00:23:44] Rachel's playing it for like 80 hours

[00:23:46] I'll join you on that

[00:23:47] I didn't have to take a break from it because it does get just like a little bit of

[00:23:51] Damn, I don't want to fight this shit anymore

[00:23:54] Yeah, that was our that was my primary complaint in the episode was that we played like 30 hours in one week

[00:23:59] And I was like this game's not meant to you're not meant to

[00:24:03] No life this game. You're meant to play this over a long period of time

[00:24:06] Just as a background game, but it's really good

[00:24:08] I don't remember the names of any of the beast because I read a little bit of stupidish imaginable

[00:24:15] There's like this plastic dude and his name is btsm on my game and that's all I know him as like I

[00:24:22] I have no idea what his beast type is actually called

[00:24:25] That is exactly why I stopped naming things and games that I'm trying to like it like in like final fantasy

[00:24:32] It's like you can name your characters. Like no, I can't do that. I'll never remember

[00:24:39] All right, so if that's all we're talking about we got the news and updates and stuff

[00:24:42] Uh, philips still not killing the justice league or whatever he's fucking been doing lately

[00:24:47] We have no further updates, but we have the native what did native by section which is full of a handful of games here

[00:24:53] Um two of which I've been playing which are the top ones

[00:24:56] um

[00:24:57] Visions of mana just came out. Uh also their studio just got shut down

[00:25:02] So that's pretty cool. Do you know did you ever play any of the mana games? Rachel actually has a history of these

[00:25:07] I've never I've always seen them and I've never played them

[00:25:10] So this is my first one even though it's not like the other ones

[00:25:13] I've only ever watched my cousin play them

[00:25:15] He's huge into these fucking matt the mana games all of those everything of that arc type of gaming

[00:25:21] He buys immediately and beats it in like a week. It doesn't matter how long it is

[00:25:25] He could fucking beat it in a week

[00:25:26] I kind of feel that but I almost I almost started no life in this game

[00:25:30] And I had to put it down because I'm like we still need to be close with the land. Holy shit

[00:25:33] But I bought it on day one. I'm very upset with uh, what is it nettease destroying this company?

[00:25:40] That was very sad because I literally bought it because I wanted to support this on the xbox side

[00:25:46] Because xbox is always getting skipped with all these kinds of games. So, uh, I mean, I don't know

[00:25:50] Yeah, I don't know what to do about the fucking state of the game

[00:25:53] I'm upset that it's not co-op. I feel like the mana game should be co-op

[00:25:59] I can see that. Yeah, like that's how I played it whenever I was a kid

[00:26:02] But me and my sister played legend of mana just constantly

[00:26:06] It was one of our games and I was always the side character like I always am

[00:26:11] Uh, and it was great. It was super fun. We got to catch little monsters and they would follow us around

[00:26:17] It was just a cool game and I had never played anything like legend of mana when I was a kid

[00:26:23] Because it has this whole like world grid system and it's just really cool and

[00:26:30] The problem with with that in this game is that I'm I don't know how the

[00:26:34] Legend of mana is but this game visions the mana of the remake. It's an action RPG

[00:26:39] So you're it's more like tales of the tales games

[00:26:42] um, it's extremely similar to tales games actually and

[00:26:45] In order to do that you either have to lego mark lego star wars it, you know

[00:26:50] where everyone's kind of on the same screen running around or

[00:26:53] Have it to where

[00:26:55] Don't have control until the fighting happens and then you can run around

[00:26:59] That's how it was on legend of mana. It's just like on playstation one

[00:27:02] We had the same screen

[00:27:05] Yeah, and we could only go it as far as the other person went. It's like co-op

[00:27:10] I kind of missed those kind of games. So i'm not gonna lie. We're to all one screen

[00:27:15] Yeah, the problem with that is that this game isn't like

[00:27:19] Top down it's behind your character. So you manipulate the character in 3d space

[00:27:23] Which means that if you did have co-op like locally you'd have to render the world twice

[00:27:28] So that you everyone can see everything the thing that would be the problem is that this game doesn't run very well

[00:27:34] Just already it's very pretty but like there is stuttering in the frame rate

[00:27:39] And sometimes there are effects like the water will start going like at a noticeably slower frame rate than everything else

[00:27:45] In some cutscene. It's like all right

[00:27:47] Well, I don't I don't mind it too much because it's like it's a beautiful game aesthetically like the art direction is amazing

[00:27:53] And so i'm just enjoying it for what it is

[00:27:56] I'm just thinking about it if I if it did have to have a second person there

[00:28:00] It would probably run at like 12 frames a second exactly what i'm looking for

[00:28:03] Then it becomes a lifer game because you can't get through it

[00:28:06] But yeah, I'm only through the first chapter of the game. So I haven't seen any like

[00:28:11] Monster catching mechanics yet, but I am collecting like

[00:28:15] Stones from them. So I don't know what that's about like maybe they'll be used later in the game

[00:28:21] But I've only got three characters the three characters we see in these little the cat man and the little dragon girl

[00:28:26] I don't know. I really like it's very nostalgic for me

[00:28:29] Uh, they do have like huge voice actors in this game

[00:28:34] I was like going through the list and it's just like

[00:28:37] people from you know attack on titan

[00:28:40] Uh the yakuza like a dragon series. It's just like the voice actors are crazy

[00:28:47] Yeah, well this is the problem too

[00:28:49] I was playing it in english at first because they talk all the time and and if they were talking japanese in the field

[00:28:55] I'd stop so that I could see the succot like the the words on the bottom of the screen the subtitles

[00:28:59] But these this dragon girl. I think his name is serena or something like that

[00:29:03] Her her the person doing the voice acting gives her like this southern deep southern accent

[00:29:09] Like she sounds like apple jack from my little pony like i'm gonna stand behind that statement

[00:29:14] Yeah, I don't know what she means. I'm never trying to tell me

[00:29:17] It's someone will know what that means and that's what she sounds like

[00:29:21] I I know what apple jack sounds like and i'll never unhear this

[00:29:24] Yeah, that's exactly what she sounds like just like that's all I can hear whatever she spoke

[00:29:29] So yeah, that was extremely grading to me

[00:29:32] And so I as soon as I realized she was my next party remember

[00:29:35] I was like I have to change it to japanese because there's

[00:29:38] Impossible to have a jet the japanese voice actors do something as

[00:29:42] Grading to me as this I hear i'm in the south i'm in Oklahoma

[00:29:46] I hear people talking so they're like this all the time. It's my I just don't like it

[00:29:50] I don't know. I don't know if it's because i'm exposed to it all the time

[00:29:52] I just don't want to hear it if she had a new joysi accent

[00:29:55] I'd be like, oh, I love this you know

[00:29:57] Anything else and out of it could have been a russian accent

[00:30:00] I don't care

[00:30:01] But I don't want to hear a southern person talk to me in my japanese anime game

[00:30:05] It just it's too bizarre. I also bought Mario and rabbit sparks of hope. This is the other game all the other ones

[00:30:11] Gonna be going by fast mario rabbits. It's fun. It's fucking fun

[00:30:15] Um, right? I so fucking buy it then

[00:30:18] This is the thing is that when I was looking at my wishlist on on on nintendo every now and then i'm looking through the sales

[00:30:23] And I saw this was on sale for with all the dlc for like 23 bucks

[00:30:28] And I was like is this worth it and it said sale ends in five minutes

[00:30:33] And I was like, I'm just gonna buy it. I don't fucking care

[00:30:35] I don't have time to look it up because i'm gonna i'm gonna miss out. So I bought it

[00:30:39] Uh for super cheap with all the dlc and this I was playing it while rachel was beating

[00:30:45] house of ashes

[00:30:47] I think the the military one

[00:30:49] Yeah, house of ashes

[00:30:51] Uh, so she was beating that and it's I hate the naming scheme because it's house of ashes

[00:30:55] But there's one of the games little hope is about a house that burns down

[00:30:59] So i'm like, oh, I've always think that that's the house. It doesn't matter. Anyway, so how I was playing this game

[00:31:05] She beat house of ashes and I continued to play it even though she was done with the tv

[00:31:10] And so she just turned on youtube and I just kept playing this game

[00:31:12] It's it's these games. There's something about mario games that are just perfect

[00:31:17] I don't understand how they do it like why do why does every mario game just feel like exactly how it should feel

[00:31:23] It's so strange because also playing super star saga at the same time

[00:31:27] I'm just like after playing golden sun and playing super star saga

[00:31:31] I'm like, this is exactly how I want to get game boy advance rpg to feel and now i'm playing this

[00:31:35] I'm like, this is exactly how I would want a mario xcom game to feel it's just it's bizarre

[00:31:41] I always see this game go one sale like either during like holiday time

[00:31:45] It's like a 20 game in walmart or target

[00:31:48] Or like whenever target's doing a sale it's always there and i'm like

[00:31:52] I love the i love the fucking rabbits so much

[00:31:55] It hurts inside. I have a weird addiction to them during the wee era

[00:31:59] I used to buy every rabbit's game that came out because i'm like

[00:32:02] There are little assholes and I love them and then like this game too though

[00:32:06] They were like it's xcom

[00:32:07] But mario and rabbits and i was like

[00:32:09] I need to know what that's about and i've never pulled the trigger on buying it but

[00:32:13] It sold sold i'm getting it and i just got my new switch. So it's even perfect

[00:32:19] Yeah, this game is absolutely worth it and it runs like it runs so buttery smooth like

[00:32:23] Nintendo just knows their own hardware which i got pray to god that they do

[00:32:28] That's the bare minimum but like they do know exactly what the limits of their hardware are so

[00:32:33] It's really good. Um, also so these three games i just bought recently on the on this week's sale

[00:32:39] uh bloodshore

[00:32:42] Which is another yeah, this is it this is one of the live action

[00:32:47] Uh like tale tell games with real actors playing in it. There's like 15 of these now by the same company

[00:32:54] I can't remember. Let me see

[00:32:57] The company is called wales interactive and they make tons of these games. They made one about you being

[00:33:04] A parking garage security guard and a bank next door gets robbed and they kidnap you

[00:33:10] There and that's really cool. There's one about a detective that can shape shift and so that's you and you go around

[00:33:16] Asking people like stuff. I don't know these are awesome

[00:33:20] Yeah, and they're like four hours long usually like they're not that long

[00:33:23] So they're made to be played in a group kind of like the dark pictures anthologies

[00:33:27] So that's appropriate that we were talking about that also

[00:33:29] Uh, the only problem is I don't think any of these are

[00:33:32] Multiplayer in any way, but you can just kind of like talk amongst yourselves while making decisions and stuff, you know

[00:33:38] Like you don't have to hog the controller. You can you can make your own co-op kind of like in j rpgs

[00:33:44] You know, but these games this game is going to be pretty cool. I look forward to playing it

[00:33:47] The next one rpg time the legend of right

[00:33:52] this

[00:33:53] Looks insane like so this game is very reminiscent to the game coming out pretty soon called the plucky squire

[00:34:01] I don't know if you saw the nintendo direct

[00:34:03] It was in there

[00:34:03] But it's a game where the aesthetic is constantly changing around

[00:34:07] Most of this game is like drawn on a notebook and it's kind of like a tabletop rpg

[00:34:12] I think I was looking at the reviews and people were saying like it's more like a quick time event fest

[00:34:17] Than an actual rpg

[00:34:18] But I think that that's fine just because of how artistically created this game looks

[00:34:22] This is just going to be another one of those indie games that i'm just happy that i bought

[00:34:26] Because I just want to support this kind of thing. I really like, uh

[00:34:30] artistic artistically creative things like this

[00:34:32] Speak but the opposite of that is god of rock. Look at this second thing

[00:34:36] Oh, so you're telling me this is game of the year right here. Absolutely. So this is it looks like I think it's a fighting game

[00:34:42] But also like guitar hero

[00:34:44] So i'm really pumped about

[00:34:46] I'm really looking forward to that coming straight off of mortal combat. It's perfect for you

[00:34:52] Yeah, it's theater rhythm

[00:34:54] But with violence in the art direction in this game is just heinous, but I think it's

[00:34:59] Charming because of how bad it looks

[00:35:02] I just want to see what this is about. I bought it for like four bucks. So

[00:35:06] Sold it's gotta be gotta be at least worth that and that's the games that naïve has bought

[00:36:43] Oh, no, when do you guys go first and pull and get up? Okay, rachel. Do you got one?

[00:36:47] 24, I don't know what it says but good strong number. This is a little long

[00:36:52] Am I the asshole for not supporting my husband's fan fiction?

[00:36:58] This immediately gives me uh, deja vu, but it's the opposite where a husband wasn't supporting a wife's fan fiction

[00:37:04] Just looked up at my camera and realized that I don't have any lights on and I was just using the window light

[00:37:11] And it's now dark outside. Yeah, you look like tails from the crypt or something

[00:37:15] You look like you're telling a uh campfire story

[00:37:19] Okay, um, that's fine. This is a scary story

[00:37:23] Apparently now ominous fives

[00:37:26] The thunderbunt cake is the name the username and I don't think that that's a throwaway. They have a bunch of posts here

[00:37:34] So they're posting an r slash tom petty

[00:37:37] R slash witches versus patriarchy. That sounds pretty promising animal crossing those two things go hand in hand. Absolutely

[00:37:45] What is c p tsd no p tsd with a c in the front of it?

[00:37:50] complex p tsd

[00:37:52] Did you know that or are you looking at what I'm looking at? No, I know

[00:37:54] I was getting sad. There's no way she pulled that out of her ass. I said no way she knew that

[00:37:59] That was that was very fast

[00:38:01] Uh, so that's who we're dealing with p tsd and also a witch. I think she said it's a terrible combination

[00:38:09] Yeah, that's a scary combination. So

[00:38:11] All right, my husband has been dedicating a lot of time to a fan fiction project

[00:38:17] He's working on on the surface. I have no issue with this

[00:38:22] Fan fiction isn't really my jam, but we all get to have hobbies that fulfill and engage us

[00:38:28] However, there are a few

[00:38:30] Extinuating circumstances around this project that are eroding my ability to be supportive

[00:38:36] And mirror his enthusiasm

[00:38:39] number one

[00:38:43] Conflict with other priorities a few months ago

[00:38:47] My husband and I agreed that we would be making a long distance move in order to be close to family again

[00:38:53] Step one is him finding a new job, but he's barely tried

[00:38:58] I feel salty that he made this huge commitment

[00:39:01] And then immediately ran from it into a new and time consuming hobby

[00:39:07] number two

[00:39:10] The unrealistic expectations around the fan fiction itself

[00:39:16] Wait, what does that mean?

[00:39:17] There's a long paragraph after that sentence. So I think we're gonna find out

[00:39:23] My husband intends to turn what he has written

[00:39:26] Probably a 50 or so page synopsis

[00:39:30] Into a screenplay that he is convinced will turn out to be about 300 pages

[00:39:37] Here's the kicker. I work in the film industry

[00:39:40] I know firsthand that a 300 page screenplay based on ip that the writer doesn't even own is dead on arrival

[00:39:48] like deader than dead

[00:39:51] He claims he's aware of this too, but he still simultaneously harbors a fantasy that somehow some way

[00:39:59] His script will be good enough to get made. I truly don't understand why does it

[00:40:05] Why doesn't just turn what he's got?

[00:40:08] Why doesn't he just turn what he's got into some short stories and post it on wattpad or elsewhere

[00:40:14] Okay, hold on for a second

[00:40:15] I might have just made the story up in my head, but wasn't

[00:40:20] 50 shades of gray originally like

[00:40:23] Twilight fan fiction and she just changed the names around and left it basically the same and then that's true

[00:40:29] Yes

[00:40:29] I don't know why I know that piece of trivia probably from like some bar trivia night or something and I should have heard it

[00:40:36] He's own fan fiction where he was the one who wrote 50 right?

[00:40:40] That is what is it called a pin name 50 shades of gray. I have a bone to pick with you

[00:40:45] Yes, I I just have to say this. Um, I did read those

[00:40:50] It's they're not good

[00:40:52] But my biggest gripe is on the first book because I read it on a kindle

[00:40:56] So I could look up like words and see how many times they were used in the novel. She said, oh my 73 times

[00:41:04] Oh, my in that fucking book

[00:41:07] It's like it's like a nervous tick at that point every time like I can't even look at the phrase

[00:41:12] Oh my or hear someone say that without just having like fucking flashbacks to that

[00:41:19] Monstrosity, what is star? I always think of the star trek man, you know, oh my

[00:41:24] You know, okay. Yeah, that's his name. I don't know why I said you could have said any name

[00:41:28] And I was like, yeah, that's his name as if I knew Jackie Chan. That's who it was. Oh, yeah, that's that guy

[00:41:33] Is that's from Futurama, right? Yeah

[00:41:35] So like I understand people using it every now and then but 73 times in like a 200 page novel is just

[00:41:44] Terrible I'm gonna go write a review on it and just say oh my it felt like it

[00:41:48] Like stopped becoming a real like one of those times when you hear someone say the same word over and over again

[00:41:54] And it stops feeling real. Yeah, that's what it felt like

[00:41:58] So every time I'd get to a section in the book that said oh my I would just like leave fucking reality

[00:42:04] And how to read

[00:42:05] So we watch there's that dug dug stream

[00:42:09] Is red fox

[00:42:10] Yeah, so there's the stream he did where he was like i'm gonna beat donkey kong country the whole trilogy

[00:42:16] But every time I die I have to donate

[00:42:18] A sub but increasingly high so the first s1 the second s2 the third s3

[00:42:23] And so it gets exponentially more money every time he dies and he's like

[00:42:27] I could probably beat dong yong country one of like two deaths and that would be probably good

[00:42:30] And then he ends up dying like 25 times before like the second third of the game

[00:42:36] And he's like i'm what am I gonna do?

[00:42:38] What am I gonna do?

[00:42:39] He's like so the punishment though if he didn't go through with beating the whole trilogy

[00:42:43] Which he obviously didn't he stopped after the he didn't even beat the first game before he posted out

[00:42:48] Is that he would wear a maid costume and say sorry to every individual sub on his

[00:42:55] On his twitch

[00:42:57] And so he had a giant list for an hour and a half

[00:43:00] He was saying sorry red fox. Sorry squeaky dungeon. Sorry guns versus kids

[00:43:06] I'm sorry. And so he said it so many times if we listened to like 20 minutes of it

[00:43:10] We're just in there eating watching him do this watch your hardcore apology video. Yeah, and the word sorry doesn't mean anything to me anymore

[00:43:17] Anyway, sorry about that

[00:43:20] Back to this list number three

[00:43:24] General escapism

[00:43:26] He's openly unhappy with his life and says that writing the fan fiction is one of the only things that

[00:43:33] That making him happy these days

[00:43:35] He especially despises his job even though he only works 12 to 18 hours per week

[00:43:42] So the fact that he has this constant stream of life complaints

[00:43:46] But isn't actually trying to address any of them

[00:43:50] And instead is

[00:43:52] Borrowing borrowing down deep inside a fantasy world of his own creation is unsettling to say the least

[00:44:00] I can't is this actually me

[00:44:02] She's making a fan fiction about her husband's fan fiction right now

[00:44:06] This was 28 days ago. I just realized

[00:44:10] Basically fan fiction is all he wants to talk about and more importantly

[00:44:15] He's definitely murdered her at this point. It's all he wants to do

[00:44:19] I feel so fucking let down

[00:44:22] And I finally lost it on him last night when he commented proudly

[00:44:26] I can't believe I wrote a 300 page screenplay in just a few months

[00:44:32] All I could think was a

[00:44:34] No, you absolutely did not you wrote a synopsis

[00:44:38] B

[00:44:38] A 300 page screenplay is a failure in my line of work

[00:44:43] Not an achievement and C all of that came at the expense of our shared commitments to one another

[00:44:49] So I scoffed

[00:44:51] He demanded an

[00:44:53] Explanation for why I'm so negative defensive about this thing and I told him it's not real

[00:44:59] It has no future

[00:45:01] Certainly not the future that you're losing yourself in

[00:45:04] Stop asking me to treat it like it's real

[00:45:07] Stop prioritizing it over work bills

[00:45:11] Moving building a life that you actually like

[00:45:14] And for the love of god

[00:45:16] Please treat this hobby like a hobby and stop making it the center of our shared universe

[00:45:22] Christ on some level

[00:45:25] I do think saying that makes me an asshole to some degree

[00:45:28] But when I step back and look at the bigger picture, I can't help but wonder what the hell else

[00:45:35] I'm supposed to say or do

[00:45:36] All right. I would like to say it there the asshole

[00:45:41] Finn that's the end of the thing. Um, yeah, that's a lot

[00:45:45] At the end of there that was quite a bit

[00:45:47] You know, it's like the way that I'm thinking about it is like imagine if you're dating like some atoring

[00:45:53] guitarist or musician whatever

[00:45:55] And used to pick up the guitar and start playing it and like I can't believe I wrote an entire five minute long song

[00:46:02] In like five months. They're like actually you shouldn't be writing a song

[00:46:06] It's twice that length in five months. And also you didn't use the pentatonic scale correctly

[00:46:10] There's a bunch of sharp notes in there to sound like

[00:46:13] Jesus Christ, this is also the bridge to stairway to heaven

[00:46:17] You literally just wrote like a stone by

[00:46:20] That one man almost had stoned triple filers

[00:46:23] Whatever that band is I forget most of the song is just backcountry but in C minor like

[00:46:28] Uh, so reddit says they're not the asshole. This is the problem. All right

[00:46:33] What she said isn't a lie like in all this stuff is she should feel this way probably if she wants her life to be together

[00:46:40] This guy this person's clearly like falling apart at the seams and that's difficult to be around

[00:46:46] Um, what she said is mean now this is simple

[00:46:49] So me and rachel have been playing a lot of magic gathering

[00:46:51] We have a friend who isn't particularly good at building decks and every time I give him any constructive criticism whatsoever

[00:46:58] He thinks it's mean

[00:47:00] Right. He doesn't like that. I don't like the cards that he likes

[00:47:04] But then when we play the game together, he goes four or five turns without playing anything

[00:47:08] And now he has 10 life and he's upset that he can't do anything even though

[00:47:12] I'm killing him or not just me because it's a multiplayer game. So it's like everyone is

[00:47:18] Cooperatively killing him at the same time because he's still open. He doesn't have any creatures out

[00:47:22] That's why I took his deck last night and played with it so that I could see if he was the problem or if his deck was the problem

[00:47:28] New writer through it. Am I the problem? Dude, I need to be on that and he said that I can help him work on his deck

[00:47:34] Okay, because I'm not going to be mean to him. So

[00:47:38] Yeah, I'll give you I'll give you a cliff notes and you just butter up everything

[00:47:41] Yeah

[00:47:43] I'll make it sound nice which to be fair you can have pet cards

[00:47:46] Also, it's like you don't have to build the strongest decks ever fucking

[00:47:50] Ever existed like I purpose but they have to like function

[00:47:54] They have to do something

[00:47:55] Like that's the problem

[00:47:57] Feel bad every time you play if your decks don't do anything. I could not handle

[00:48:01] I could not hang it was not a good time playing the deck

[00:48:05] And meanwhile she was just watching me have the time of my life

[00:48:08] I just wanted untapped land

[00:48:11] That's all I wanted

[00:48:12] And then you were like, you know what voron clicks so now all your tap lands are even more tapped

[00:48:19] It felt bad. I'm sorry. I don't think anyone

[00:48:22] Yeah, no one

[00:48:25] They should everyone should play right now. I love magic

[00:48:29] We man we come on for a commander talk. We've been meaning to have a commander talk eventually

[00:48:34] Um

[00:48:34] Anyways for these guys this guy needs to fuck he needs to get his shit together

[00:48:40] Honestly, he sound he really does sound like he's falling into sounds super depressed

[00:48:45] And it just depends on like everyone's different the way that you got to handle that

[00:48:49] That's just kind of the unfortunate thing

[00:48:50] So we can't really figure out that guys would have diagnosis from here

[00:48:55] But it's like if he needs some people need a kick in the ass to stop doing the thing

[00:48:59] I need kicks in the ass

[00:49:00] I will take advantage of all sympathy when i'm sad if i'm sad

[00:49:04] I will I will I will seek out people who will give me sympathy for little effort and I will just cling to them

[00:49:11] Like that's how I that's and that's the bad. I don't need that. That's that reinforces my negative behaviors

[00:49:16] So I need people to be like dude stop being a little pussy and just take the fucking trash out, dude

[00:49:22] You try to get trash in your house. I'm like, okay

[00:49:24] You're right. That's that's embarrassing. Why am I doing this?

[00:49:27] And that's that's the only way to get me out of whatever I'm in. I don't know what's going to get this guy out

[00:49:31] Maybe he needs this kick in the ass and maybe the only reason she feels bad is because she doesn't do this often enough

[00:49:37] And he runs over her like maybe that's why she exploded on him

[00:49:42] Is because she's constantly being run over and now it's coming to a head because they need to move

[00:49:46] right I would also like to point out like she

[00:49:50] Mentioned that she can't keep up with like his enthusiasm or whatever

[00:49:54] Somewhere in here is she even expressing that she doesn't like it in any way shape or form

[00:50:00] Or did she just randomly like harbor all of this resentment toward it?

[00:50:05] And then blow up on him

[00:50:07] And be like it has no future. This isn't real

[00:50:12] Maybe and it also might be the case that she didn't have she didn't have a way to articulate this

[00:50:16] Even to herself

[00:50:18] Before she blew up and when she blew up it kind of made sense why she was so upset about it kind of thing

[00:50:23] You know what I mean like sometimes you're just mad and you don't know what got you there

[00:50:27] And then after you fought you were like, oh, I just am upset about working so much

[00:50:31] You know what I mean or something like that like those realizations come sometimes. Yeah, I don't know

[00:50:36] There's a lot of things it's hard to it's hard to say the thing she said is an outright

[00:50:41] Cruel thing to do for someone

[00:50:43] But another thing that's cruel is making something your entire personality and then expecting the people around you to

[00:50:50] Completely conform to that because that just doesn't work in any situation about anything

[00:50:56] I don't think because some people will will be supportive and be like, yeah, this is cool. Warhammer's cool. Yeah

[00:51:03] I'll I'll listen to you rant about the the lore about the fucking Zorg or whatever the I don't know

[00:51:09] Warhammer, but it's like, yeah, I'll listen to you talk about this

[00:51:12] This is cool

[00:51:12] But then expecting them to like be at the same level as you in enthusiasm

[00:51:16] Like that is putting too much on people around you, right?

[00:51:21] Like if if Rachel if she never listened to a fucking millisecond of this podcast

[00:51:26] I would be like, okay

[00:51:27] I understand have a nice day like do the things you want to do as long as you support me

[00:51:32] You're like, oh, yeah, I I enjoy that you make this and it's cool. I like seeing your thumbnails

[00:51:37] I like you have the things that you like about the podcast then that's fine

[00:51:40] I'm not saying this is her experience

[00:51:41] But like I'm giving you an example

[00:51:43] Like I think everyone who has a significant other that podcast feels the same way that it's like you don't need to actively engage with it

[00:51:50] And if you did I'm honored

[00:51:51] But I don't want you to feel like you have to and this guy seems to feel like his girlfriend has to engage with what he likes

[00:51:58] You know what I mean? I think me trying to to break this whole thing down

[00:52:02] I think maybe he's trying to get in in her line of work

[00:52:07] Okay, I think maybe he's trying to get into her line of work and

[00:52:11] She's not as enthusiastic about it because of her professional opinions that this fucking sucks

[00:52:18] But he won't take the criticism of it

[00:52:21] It's like kind of like what you said about like, you know, say you're dating a touring guitarist and you're like

[00:52:25] Oh, yeah, you know, I also used to play and I uh, I wrote this song like

[00:52:30] Bring me in on the tour like I feel like he probably thought

[00:52:35] Feel like she was gonna be super supportive like oh my god

[00:52:38] Like I work in the film industry and my husband just became a screenwriter

[00:52:42] Based off of an IP that he did not own you think that she thinks he's gonna yoko ono himself

[00:52:48] Yes, oh that's a completely different angle. Damn. He's definitely dead

[00:52:52] I forgot about the whole she works as this also like that's that's the completely changes things also

[00:52:57] I think yeah, I think maybe like he thought she was going to be more supportive

[00:53:01] Maybe he got into this as a way of like trying to connect to something that she

[00:53:05] Was very big and proud of or like, you know, like this is her

[00:53:11] This is her niche her line of work and he tried to get into it

[00:53:15] But he kind of involved too much of like his own stuff to it. Does it say what the subject material was?

[00:53:23] Uh, let me see she did reply to some of these

[00:53:26] So if you take her name and copy it and then paste it into the search comments like right above the first

[00:53:31] Oh, oh shit. I just found a comment from her

[00:53:34] A couple of questions keep coming up. So please allow me to clarify

[00:53:39] One he is anti therapy. That's a hell yeah

[00:53:43] That's a real man

[00:53:46] That's you know, do you think she's going to cpsd for herself or for him? Maybe. Oh, right. She fucking

[00:53:54] Uh, she has to probably right

[00:53:58] Okay, so keep going. I thought that it was this was talking about her therapy, but it's not

[00:54:03] They've done couple therapies twice both said he needs to seek individual counseling

[00:54:09] He now labels those experiences as damaging and will not get help behind you

[00:54:15] Uh to the move

[00:54:18] So he wanted to move

[00:54:22] Hold on Rachel

[00:54:23] What is this?

[00:54:24] Something I'm so sorry. I just all of a sudden I just seen something fucking rise up behind me and it was

[00:54:32] I was about to say name quick. There's there's a goose behind you

[00:54:36] Oh my god, there was a goose. I so the funny thing is so Rachel is reading by candlelight in total pitch black darkness

[00:54:42] so

[00:54:44] She so the candle's reflecting off the back of her

[00:54:48] Headphone and I thought he was talking about that like I thought he was like there's like ghosts behind you

[00:54:52] Look at orb

[00:54:54] Like that's what it looked like, but now she's the goodest boy that was behind you. I don't know where she went

[00:54:59] Oh, she might just sleep. That's our defense against the the horde of geese

[00:55:03] She's had a long day

[00:55:05] Lots of being on alert watching the geese

[00:55:10] She's sleepy

[00:55:12] Yeah, this person definitely goes to there because the way that she talks it's like he's unequivocally depressed

[00:55:17] It's possible OCD is also in play here on family history and symptoms and yada yada something about labels something something something

[00:55:23] it's like

[00:55:24] People that talk like this either a go to therapy too much or b think that they're like armchair therapists

[00:55:30] I know because i'm an armchair therapist and I speak this way when i'm talking to people about things like this

[00:55:36] but um, there is definitely a

[00:55:39] Inbalance here that needs to be directly confronted. I think and if it's not directly confronted

[00:55:43] It's only gonna just get worse and she's just gonna blow up more often

[00:55:46] And he's gonna start blowing out on her because he's gonna believe that she doesn't support him in anything ever because of this

[00:55:52] One time she blew up on him even though she probably she could support him in literally every other thing that he does

[00:55:56] But it doesn't matter because she blew up on him this one time

[00:55:59] There's there's a lot of spirals that can happen here

[00:56:01] I would probably say she's kind of an asshole for the wording the things that she did the way she did

[00:56:07] But I don't think that's sentiment behind it or I can understand the reasoning, right?

[00:56:11] I don't think the sentiment behind it was because she just wants them to survive and live well

[00:56:17] Right and he's fucking it up. So instead of like being fan fiction being the thing if it was gambling

[00:56:22] Was the hobby that's taken over?

[00:56:24] I know that there was a comment somewhere where she was like he just jumps from like one thing to the next so

[00:56:29] Obviously, the last thing he wanted to do was move and now he doesn't care about that because he's writing fanfic

[00:56:37] Did she ever answer the question of what he was writing about?

[00:56:41] I have not seen that anyway

[00:56:42] Oh, wait, wait

[00:56:44] She wrote I don't feel comfortable specifying what it is, but it's a popular and long running video game franchise

[00:56:49] Oh my god. He writes five nights in freddy's fan fiction. Yep. That's exactly where my mind went. Oh, no

[00:56:56] This guy really is depressed

[00:56:58] Well, he's dead now. Yeah, he's been murdered. He's been killed

[00:57:02] He is now in stuffed inside of an animatronic

[00:57:04] Uh, so what were the uh, what were the verdicts here like semi asshole semi hard?

[00:57:09] No, I think she's completely justified and she'd probably leave that home immediately take the kids take the dog

[00:57:15] And skedaddle maybe not put this on reddit change your name different country different county

[00:57:23] Dear country what about you Rachel?

[00:57:26] Yeah, I think they both kind of suck. They both seem like they have issues. They're probably fine people

[00:57:33] Yeah, maybe I I mean i'm like i'm more on her side than his side, but i'm still like

[00:57:39] Things need to change obviously so I mean we're all kind of in agreement here. I don't know. What do you got?

[00:57:44] We're not rachel uh red fox who's next I forget. Oh my uh, all right

[00:57:49] Mine's a little mine's a little bit shorter. So I got number 10

[00:57:53] Oh, I went the wrong way

[00:57:55] Number 10 you got a rachel you looking at it? Yeah

[00:57:57] All right, you were not lying about this being shorter. Oh well, it seems I seen the game. I was like bet

[00:58:04] Uh, the the name of this person is okay spread 1449

[00:58:08] I hope 1449 isn't some racist lingo. I just said out loud

[00:58:13] Oh

[00:58:13] And it's a main account and what is this?

[00:58:16] He okay, so he he he posts an r slash advertising and it was marked not safe for work

[00:58:21] Oh, here's r slash marketing. It's the same post the same day hentai guerrilla marketing campaign. Hold on a second

[00:58:28] I think we got one here. We got a winner. All right

[00:58:30] Uh, so this says I recently investor on 40k into my new business

[00:58:33] And I thought it would be a clever way to attract new customers and investors via a hentai marketing campaign

[00:58:37] First off is this allowed on reddit? I don't want to break any rules second. Oh, yeah

[00:58:41] Yeah, these actually asking questions

[00:58:43] So this is the kind of person that we're talking about before we even get into the other stuff

[00:58:48] He also is an elden ring lore talk. So we got a elden ringer over here not representative of all of us

[00:58:53] He's not one of my people. Yeah

[00:58:55] That's definitely how all elden ring players talk. I mean he might be onto something

[00:58:59] Maybe hentai is the way to go quick. It always is it always is all right go and get to ring

[00:59:04] What's the title here? No

[00:59:06] Uh, am I the asshole for letting my son play xbox despite my wife not agreeing?

[00:59:12] uh

[00:59:13] I was feeling nostalgic and whipped out my old xbox to show my three-year-old son

[00:59:17] My wife and I are generally against letting the kids play video games just occasional learning games on the ipad

[00:59:23] But he was really interested in daddy's toy. That's a weird way to fucking

[00:59:27] I hate that so

[00:59:29] Especially after what I just I saw the words and I heard them come out of your mouth at the same time and I just died

[00:59:36] This is another case of before I even finish it

[00:59:41] She needs to take the kids

[00:59:43] Please get those kids. Please get those kids out of there. Um, so I plugged it in and turned it on so you could

[00:59:49] Watch a startup screen. That's weird. Um, he got bored of it pretty quick. Well to start up screen. You fucking idiot

[00:59:56] And picked out a game case laying in a storage box

[01:00:00] Uh, it was missing a disc. I looked around found it in another box. My wife came home from work

[01:00:05] So let's start a huge fight. Uh, we both said some things to each other. We regret

[01:00:10] Okay, before I even said it before we do that listener

[01:00:14] I want you to think what game do you it's an original xbox, you know

[01:00:18] Because halo is it brute force? Is it psycho knots? Is it leisure suit larry?

[01:00:23] Is it splinter cell what could have caused this huge fight between the wife and the in the man?

[01:00:28] What is it called? I don't know

[01:00:30] The opposite of wife daddy. Yeah daddy

[01:00:34] Daddy, yeah

[01:00:35] All right, uh now that you got the game in your mind read that out it for those asking

[01:00:41] The game was dead or alive extreme beach volleyball. Hell yeah, bro

[01:00:45] It was a red blood american man that game's great

[01:00:49] Start up on a good one rachel. What do you know that game? Yeah

[01:00:53] Okay, good. It's the best it's it goes elden ring

[01:00:57] Dead or alive extreme beach

[01:01:00] extreme beach volleyball that star fox 64

[01:01:03] All right. Yes god team

[01:01:06] Nate's gonna put them on his list yet. He's saving the best for last

[01:01:09] You don't beat that game you beat other things while playing that game

[01:01:13] You picked a doozy man. This is insane. This is insane. All right. This is going to be a clear clear verdict

[01:01:19] I think but man. She's an asshole so many things to not like about this

[01:01:24] To not like about this situation, right?

[01:01:27] Let me start here. So uh, I don't like that he used the word daddy's toy

[01:01:31] Especially in such close proximity to his kid. Yes

[01:01:35] Also, the fact that I turned it on so you can see the startup screen. What the fuck does that even mean?

[01:01:40] Yeah, how old was the kid?

[01:01:42] Three years old. Okay, so he's just like here's this screen three year old

[01:01:46] Stare at that until you're bored. I will not lie when I was a kid

[01:01:51] With the xbox and ps2 and gamecube, I would sit on the startup screen

[01:01:56] Like for an hour and just flip through it. I don't know why I'm partially artistic like this guy is

[01:02:01] He was posting an r slash autism and stuff. So maybe that changes our minds on how he's saying things

[01:02:07] No, the no

[01:02:11] Get the kids leave the country

[01:02:14] Get the kids leave the country

[01:02:17] I cannot believe he got bored of the title screen

[01:02:19] Quick too like what the hell? I can't believe he didn't immediately put in extreme volleyball

[01:02:24] Get to find it that would have lived in the xbox. Yeah should have lived in the xbox

[01:02:28] Well, no, you can't transport the xbox with that inside of it. Shit. Is that on steam? Probably not

[01:02:33] I don't even know I mean dead or alive must be on steam, right?

[01:02:37] Well, why wouldn't be extreme beach volleyball to be then?

[01:02:40] I gotta go look now too

[01:02:42] No, it's not only dead or alive five and six. So not even the original ones

[01:02:46] Is xbox the only place you can play dead or alive one two and three? I think yes. Yes it is. Wow. It is crazy

[01:02:53] PlayStation's got virtual fighter. I think xbox got virtual fight if it doesn't have virtual fighter

[01:02:57] You could play virtual fighter on yakuza

[01:02:59] Or a lot or game even better. Yeah, which is the you know, it's funny

[01:03:04] I've read on a fucking there is there was a japanese fighting games tournament for I don't remember what fighting game

[01:03:09] I think it was like sonic fighters or something, right?

[01:03:13] And great game great game the easiest way to get that game running was to just have yakuza judgment and play it through that

[01:03:20] Like so they did the tournament through yakuza judgment to do them. I don't remember what game it was

[01:03:25] I don't I don't think it was virtual fighter

[01:03:26] I'm pretty sure it was like one of those other games like sonic fighters or whatever

[01:03:31] Anyway, I'm derailing us too much. This guy's an asshole. This is incredible. This is a good pick

[01:03:35] Yeah, this guy's an asshole. She needs to take the kids leave the country

[01:03:38] All right, so what what number did you do before rachel?

[01:03:42] It was 24. I believe 24 24 plus 10. I can't do math. What's math is that?

[01:03:49] 24 plus 10

[01:03:51] Yeah, that's like 50 right uh, so number 34. Let's go over there. Let me gray this out. That's gonna be the one I pick

[01:03:57] Not the first time I've done this

[01:03:59] This is also very short

[01:04:01] All right, so this one yogurt closet still

[01:04:05] 107 that's a really fucking weird name

[01:04:07] And another one with other posts. I don't think this I think this might be a burner and they're just posting on a couple of things

[01:04:14] So what they're posting on is r slash o

[01:04:17] What is this mohela mohella?

[01:04:20] I don't know what mohella is

[01:04:22] This is this is created as a support group ran by customers who are fed up with mohella's poor customer service management

[01:04:28] Okay, so he's complaining about customer service and then r slash tenant help. So this guy

[01:04:34] He's having some trouble. He's got a lot of complaints in life

[01:04:38] Got a lot of he's complaining a lot

[01:04:40] So here he is an m i the asshole seeing if he's complaining too much probably says m i the asshole

[01:04:44] screen-free play dates

[01:04:46] all right

[01:04:48] Am I the asshole for not letting my kids friends bring their iPads and laptops to my house for play dates

[01:04:53] My kids have strict limits around how much screen time they get per week and I expect them to do chores

[01:04:59] Play outside and generally entertain themselves without screens

[01:05:02] I know that other parents don't limit screen time in their homes and i'm not here to judge anyone's choices

[01:05:07] That said some of my kids friends come over fully loaded with pc's

[01:05:12] iPads tablets iPhones and sit for a fucking pc on a play date

[01:05:16] You know, i'm bringing my alien wear fucking desktop throwing it down on the floor the double monitor set up

[01:05:22] How old's the kid what land party is this?

[01:05:26] It's like the one where the guys taped to the ceiling

[01:05:28] Yes

[01:05:30] No screen watcher. Oh man

[01:05:31] So uh, they sit in the house for hours on their screens just ignoring my children

[01:05:37] It's wild

[01:05:38] So I've asked parents to not send their kids with devices when they come over to my house

[01:05:43] Most parents are fine with it. I assume recently a parent responded to an invite that their child would only come if they could bring

[01:05:49] Their device and have unlimited access to gaming and wi-fi in my home

[01:05:54] They're making demands

[01:05:57] Ultimatums I said no and they plan and the play date and they play date did not happen

[01:06:04] Am I the asshole for setting limits that might have a negative impact on my children's friendships?

[01:06:09] It doesn't seem like much

[01:06:11] It doesn't seem like yuck

[01:06:14] Of a friendship to me, but I I wonder if i'm being too strict

[01:06:19] Okay, so when you were a kid did you ever like have specific friends houses that you would go to just because they had good internet?

[01:06:27] Yeah

[01:06:28] I mean this kid

[01:06:30] He has the good internet. So he has the good internet because there's not like 40 devices connected to it

[01:06:35] So they're like he's got the 5g. I gotta bring my pc over there so I can download all my games before I go home

[01:06:42] That's what's happening. I need to bring my pc my ipad my iphone

[01:06:46] That's not funny. My friend used to have to do that on his xbox

[01:06:49] Everyone has you've either been the person doing that or you've had someone do that to you

[01:06:56] Philip is that person philip whenever

[01:06:59] Whenever whoever in high school, I'd go to his house to play halo 3 with him because I just didn't have internet

[01:07:03] I'd be like i'm fucking i'm jones in for some modern warfare too, dude

[01:07:07] I gotta have it give me a coke out of the fridge

[01:07:09] My friend lives in the country and she has terrible internet

[01:07:13] So she just waits to go over to like her sister's or her mom's house before she downloads any games

[01:07:18] When friends go over to my house, it was because my house was a constitutional anarchy

[01:07:23] Where my dad did nothing to he had where there were no rules. You could bring cracked cocaine to my house

[01:07:28] I don't know what kids do with cracked cocaine. So this person

[01:07:33] Doesn't this is kind of reasonable right like it's not the worst

[01:07:36] I mean, yeah, it's not the worst if you want your people to come over to your house and interact with your kids while you're at your house

[01:07:42] It's like, yeah, that makes more sense than not

[01:07:45] It's like if the kids were I don't know if when people could when kids come over to your house

[01:07:50] They need to abide by the house rules, right? That's just kind of this guy seems very reasonable

[01:07:56] I wasn't expecting this to be like just so vanilla

[01:08:00] I don't think him in the last guy would get along. Oh, absolutely not. Oh another thing. It's like I

[01:08:06] We should really let me take a step back and think about the poor kids

[01:08:10] Who can't play fortnight whenever they go over to johnny's house

[01:08:13] It's literally the only reason they go to his house and now they've taken that away. All right. We got two

[01:08:18] Yeah, no friends

[01:08:19] Oh, I do we talked about this before in annihassle if kids become social pariahs because

[01:08:25] Parents will take phones away and stuff like that like people we we had these conversations

[01:08:29] I don't know. I don't think it matters that much to kids

[01:08:31] It's you're gonna get bullied but kids are gonna bully each other for literally anything you can't

[01:08:37] I'm gonna bully these kids

[01:08:38] I'm gonna go bully them too

[01:08:41] So we got two comments from yogurt closet still 107 and one says they're not teenagers. They're under 13

[01:08:47] That makes it even more appropriate to be like dude fucking play yachtsie or something like I don't know

[01:08:54] Oh, so there I would like to put out there is a comment where they said that they can bring their phone

[01:08:59] So like they can call their parents still and everything. They just don't want them to know they're fucking like games

[01:09:06] They don't want the alien way of laptop. Yeah

[01:09:09] That runs fortnight at 1080p

[01:09:11] You don't even bring your headset

[01:09:13] You know so that you could talk to other people while you're hanging out with my kid

[01:09:18] This is another thing that like I I feel like most parents that I've ever engaged with uh friends's house

[01:09:23] Which I was always at friends's house. I was never in my house. I

[01:09:26] experienced

[01:09:28] Getting kicked out like hey go up you guys go outside and play like I'm like, okay. Fuck I guess

[01:09:33] I want to play adventure quest and runescape on the pc

[01:09:37] But I guess I'm gonna go outside and hit my friend with a stick for a little bit

[01:09:40] I don't know. Is it just that different nowadays? Like is it that this one is also really recent 21 days ago

[01:09:47] So philip is fucking on it philips actively updating this sheet. That's pretty cool toilet paper sheet

[01:09:51] I don't know. Yeah, there's not a whole lot to say about this. This is just very very simple not an asshole

[01:09:57] Um, unless you're like being rude about it to the parents

[01:10:00] Which he doesn't seem like he is he or he's at least not presenting himself that way

[01:10:05] Uh, as long as you're not being mean about it to the parents or the kids

[01:10:08] Then you're not an asshole. You can set your rules for your own house. Fuck everyone else. Yeah, I agree

[01:10:13] I feel bad for

[01:10:16] For johnny fortnight. Yeah, I mean I just want that kid to have friends and his friends sound like asshole

[01:10:21] Maybe his friends are the assholes

[01:10:23] I think so too. So, uh, I think we're done before we go though. I want to

[01:10:28] Now let's do the break. That's the most appropriate rachel disappeared into the darkness. Here's the break music

[01:10:38] Oh, it's good time to take a piss. Oh, okay. Yes. Go take a piss. Wait, where were you getting say first?

[01:10:42] I was gonna show you a video. Oh, yeah, let's see that first

[01:10:46] Okay, so I was I wrote put this in the notes while we were talking about the prusade of geese that were outside

[01:11:15] Is this

[01:11:15] Had friends with parents that sounded like this guy

[01:11:19] Wait, wait wait me

[01:11:21] Send me that on twitter, please send me that on twitter. I gotta say I gotta I gotta send that to my fucking cousin

[01:11:26] Like yo, tell me why it's just my dad

[01:11:29] I kind of need to piss now too

[01:11:36] There's no one there. Am I supposed to talk to chairs?

[01:11:40] Ha, I feel rejuvenated like a new man

[01:11:43] Oh, you're back and more lit up

[01:11:46] Yeah, we both went through about them. I think mean you have the same exact chair like get up. Look at our chairs

[01:11:52] Except mine's brown. Yes, it was mine. Look. Oh, it is. Yeah with the exact same chair you got it from Walmart probably

[01:11:59] I don't know my mom my brother stole it from uh

[01:12:02] Stole it from

[01:12:03] The hospital he works at I yeah, this was a gift so I mean, I don't know where this came from me

[01:12:08] They might have also gotten stolen hospital. Yeah, same place

[01:12:11] Uh, all right, so now okay, I showed you the thing

[01:12:14] I want to show you this other one

[01:12:16] Right, I got I had some clips loaded up

[01:12:18] I was gonna try and insert them wherever I could and I forgot about them

[01:12:23] Rachel just watched it

[01:12:25] Just watched the clip

[01:12:28] Oh my god, holy shit

[01:12:35] The accuracy

[01:12:37] Holy no, that was just luck man. He did not aim for her

[01:12:41] That's like

[01:12:42] A rebel gave her wings out of nowhere and hit you like yeah that red bull had wings dude. Oh my god. It's not funny

[01:12:48] That is a salt

[01:12:51] Imagine how bad that shit hurt though

[01:12:54] I don't know twisted tea guy

[01:12:56] Here's the thing. Yes, look if it had more the more liquid it had on it the less of a sound it would have made right

[01:13:04] Because I don't know why I think that but like if it was full of liquid

[01:13:07] It would have made a thump, but it made like a loud metallic sound right?

[01:13:12] Yeah, he filled it with marbles before he threw it

[01:13:14] Is that what it says? No. No, I'm just hoping that's the most

[01:13:17] Oh my god, oh wow

[01:13:20] But yeah, there is there is liquid in there still but I think it's like a half drink red bull

[01:13:24] The less that's in there the more of a sound I think it would make and the less it would hurt

[01:13:29] Right, so because it's like if you dropped an empty can from no matter how high it's it can only hurt so bad

[01:13:34] Right, can't you like kill someone with a penny if you drop it from higher enough? No, that's not sure

[01:13:40] They've been the simpsons said it was true. Oh, he's right. This is

[01:13:44] I'm that fucking dude. I mean we just saw a meme about the seregio where it was like

[01:13:48] The guy who knows the myth busters thing if you're running in the rain and you get more wet

[01:13:54] And it's like a Chad walking through the rain. I don't know it's stupid. I might find it

[01:13:58] Uh, so anyway, that was a funny video. Okay. What happened in that video? We didn't even describe it

[01:14:03] It doesn't matter. So someone threw a red bull off of a like a fucking seven-story building or something

[01:14:08] And there's a obviously a club on the other side of the street and this lady just gets nailed by it like right in the face

[01:14:15] It's so so fucking hard, man

[01:14:20] Oh, it's bad that guy's definitely in jail. I've got anyway

[01:14:24] You see in the notes here. I got two more things. So have you done the the black ops 6 beta had just happened

[01:14:28] Did you did you play any of that?

[01:14:30] Uh, I'm actually gonna be playing that tonight when I'm done here

[01:14:32] So you haven't played any at all yet. No, no

[01:14:36] My expulsion refuses to download anything

[01:14:39] Oh

[01:14:41] That makes sense. You're getting throttled like it's a ps4

[01:14:44] Yes, the uh, so do you know anything about the new seven black ops?

[01:14:48] So we're not gonna like this isn't black ops talk, but so there's two new things, right?

[01:14:51] There's the omnidirectional movement. I have two clips. I'm not I don't know how to put this in the thing

[01:14:56] So we're just gonna show you these and then we'll talk about it

[01:14:58] You can dolphin dive in every direction now. I can't wait

[01:15:01] I'm gonna be the sweatiest player ever

[01:15:03] Do you know why I can't wait because it's the funniest stupidest looking shit ever when you're not the one dolphin diving

[01:15:09] Would you see someone else do it?

[01:15:11] And so the fucking clips like the montages of funny moments dolphin diving are gonna be great go and watch that video

[01:15:19] John Woo stranglehold, but he just dies

[01:15:24] It's so funny, man. We'll see that again

[01:15:28] It's so dramatic. It's so

[01:15:31] Yeah, because it's a kill cam at the end of the game and that's the final death

[01:15:35] So the final death is a guy

[01:15:37] John Woo strangle like fucking jumping with dual pistols and then he just dies in midair

[01:15:43] It's so funny. There's another clip where I don't know where it's at. It's on my twitter

[01:15:47] I'm sharing these things every time I see them on twitter go follow us game together pod at twitter.com or something

[01:15:53] Um, but yeah, I'm just I'm fucking sharing all these clips

[01:15:55] There's another one where this guy

[01:15:58] Dolphin dives in front of this guy out of a door and then instantly gets killed and he watches the kill cam and he jumps out

[01:16:05] And immediately gets shot

[01:16:06] Because he jumped right where he's aiming

[01:16:10] It's so funny

[01:16:11] Okay, anyway

[01:16:12] So the other thing that they added to this game

[01:16:15] Is whenever you can take you can take hostages or they're called meat shields in gears of war

[01:16:20] That's always our refer to them because the fucking manliest way to talk about it

[01:16:23] But uh, so you take a meat shield and whenever you do that it activates proximity chat to your enemy

[01:16:29] So you can talk into their ear. He jumps out the fucking window

[01:16:34] Dude

[01:16:35] It's I I I'm I can't believe I to say but

[01:16:39] I'm so excited for black ops 6 dude. I'm so excited. I thought it was exciting for the zombies

[01:16:44] I'm more excited about this

[01:16:47] Dude dolphin diving in meat shields. You could talk shit up each other dude

[01:16:51] Oh, man

[01:16:51] And this is the the the meat shield talking thing is the funniest thing since fortnite letting you abduct the people you down

[01:16:58] Like pick them up and just take them away like I just run away with them

[01:17:02] Which rachel when I played with her I played with her quite often when we first met

[01:17:06] Uh, she was I think you were getting mad at me because I kept doing that or not you one of your friends

[01:17:10] Because I was literally I couldn't help with the fight anymore because I had a person on my back

[01:17:14] Because I ran I was like wait. I gotta go pick him up and they're like no and they're like trying to kill them on the ground

[01:17:19] And I'm like, I don't know. No, I just kept bringing you people

[01:17:22] I was just like here you go. There's something for you to do. I know you hate this

[01:17:26] We played uh, we played a game of trios. Uh, this is like season seasons back

[01:17:33] Back when like the indiana joneship was going on

[01:17:35] Um, the reason I mentioned this is because the final circle was in the indiana jones part of the map

[01:17:41] Where it was like that cavern

[01:17:44] To the straight shot it's us. It's all three of us and two other people left

[01:17:49] We downed the one guy

[01:17:51] And my nephew went running to grab him picked him up ran his ass back to us

[01:17:58] And we're at a dead end

[01:18:00] Like there's one other way out but the guy's clearly not going to come this way and we just held this guy hostage

[01:18:06] This was the end of the game

[01:18:08] All we need to do is kill the other player and we we could have just ran up one of him at any point in time

[01:18:13] At that point we're like standing there in the hallway just like emoting on his ass. It's like payday the heist or whatever

[01:18:20] We're just fucking with the hostages my favorite thing that I did recently in fortnight

[01:18:24] It was like last season. It was all about cars

[01:18:27] It was like the last three people and everyone kept getting into my car like all of the opponents

[01:18:34] So I just had like two other people in my fucking car and I just like slammed on the gas toward the storm

[01:18:40] And then jumped out right before we hit the store. They're just fucking catapulted in there at the car

[01:18:46] Dude, that's the halo classic. Maybe that's the fucking you know

[01:18:49] The enemy jumps into the turret of your warhawk and you're like, well, sapooku it is

[01:18:54] And so you gotta find the nearest cliff to kill yourself in no

[01:18:57] I I lived because I jumped out. They were still in my fucking car going

[01:19:02] Do you ever see the game? I think it was a I think it's gta online

[01:19:05] Maybe we're like the guy can't like this one dude's like this one streamer

[01:19:10] Is like he found like this really nice car that was parked out front of a shop

[01:19:15] And he jumps in it drive away

[01:19:18] He's like, oh, yeah, it's got me a new whip. He's like put it back. Oh fuck you're in far

[01:19:23] Yeah, I don't know put it back. What was he doing in the car like his friend is in the

[01:19:28] His other it's good. Yeah, his friend was inside the shop

[01:19:32] That's so fucking funny. He's like just just put it back man

[01:19:34] And I think you can go if you're not driving you you can go first person in the game

[01:19:38] If you're not driving that you can pull your gun out and aim it at your teammate like or aim it at the driver

[01:19:42] Right, you can yeah do that

[01:19:44] The whole conversation that went the audience like yeah, my bad, man

[01:19:48] You know, I just saw it. It was nice. Like no, no, it's a good car

[01:19:50] We've had it for you know, we had for a long time. He wanted to he wanted to put this back

[01:19:55] He's again, sorry about that. He hops out the corner and starts running down the street

[01:19:59] Well, I think he just gets back on his motorcycle. He was on originally

[01:20:02] It just drives off like mutually like they're like, okay, just never cross

[01:20:06] The legends say he's still driving to this day on that motorcycle

[01:20:11] All right, so the game we're talking about today is call to the lamb the unholy alliance update which added local co-op

[01:20:18] Uh, so fuck. Yeah, this is the steam store description

[01:20:22] Start your own cult in Atlanta false prophets venture out into diverse and mysterious regions to build a local

[01:20:29] Loyal community of woodland followers and spread your word to become the one true cult

[01:20:34] overwhelmingly positive reviews

[01:20:36] Excuse me

[01:20:38] So this is by massive monster publisher devolver digital pretty fucking sick history and preconceptions

[01:20:44] How did you guys learn about this game? Like where did you hear where'd you hear about it before?

[01:20:48] What did you think it was going to be before you started playing at anything like that?

[01:20:51] Okay, so I first found out about this game because I seen the fucking cult the lamb plushy on amazon

[01:20:59] And I was like, well, you're sick. I need you and then I found out it was from a game

[01:21:04] And we followed the game for like almost its entire well my brother

[01:21:10] Followed this game during its entire thing and turned out he's been telling me about this game for

[01:21:14] Almost like a year or two and in my mind. I'm like nah little lamb plushie

[01:21:19] Little evil lamb

[01:21:21] Need that dude this there are some products like some ip that are made specifically to have toys like

[01:21:28] Like gi joe and stuff like that

[01:21:30] This is a property where it's like unironically would make great toys because every single the art direction

[01:21:37] Everything is just so cute and evil at the same time and that's just really in right now

[01:21:42] You know what I mean? Like people love cute and also evil. I mean, I love it

[01:21:46] It's the art direction is very striking it like that. So the first time I saw I heard about this game

[01:21:50] I saw it in a show

[01:21:51] I don't remember it must have been devolved for digital show because they usually have their own like little showcase

[01:21:55] Of like stuff and I don't know man. I fucking really love it

[01:21:59] I'm gonna pull the every fucking week. I keep talking about this cult of the lamb vinyl

[01:22:03] But i'm gonna show you I got the fucking double LP vinyl. Look how sick this shit is

[01:22:08] Sick, but look the inside of it. Oh, it's so good. Yeah

[01:22:11] So that vinyl is actually the that was the first time I heard about cult of the lamb

[01:22:17] Coming to your apartment

[01:22:18] I mean like, do you know what this is?

[01:22:21] Can you guess what this is and I was just like no and you're like cult of the lamb

[01:22:24] It's the best music is incredible

[01:22:26] Yeah, being around me is like being around an annoying

[01:22:29] 11 year old that has to show you everything

[01:22:32] I fucking love showing people stuff and so I'm showing the listener cult of the lamb

[01:22:35] Do you know how many hours you put into this game red fox? I got ours written down

[01:22:39] Oh, I have probably around like maybe 26 27 hours in

[01:22:45] Um, I'm not as far as you would think I spend more time playing with my followers and fishing

[01:22:50] If a game has fishing in it, that's it. You'll all see for like a good two weeks

[01:22:55] I'd never beat the final fantasy 15 because soon as I found out you could fish. That's all I did

[01:23:00] That's all I did in final fantasy 15

[01:23:03] Drunk and just go fishing fishing is just so there's something about it

[01:23:06] But then when you have a game that's only fishing, I don't want to play it. I don't know what it is

[01:23:10] It's like I don't want to play no cabela's like big fish hunter or whatever. I want to play

[01:23:15] Uh, fucking tales of a rise and fish in that game instead of doing what I'm supposed to do

[01:23:20] I don't know when I not the not the super derail here, but like

[01:23:24] When I have such a bad addiction to fishing games in video games

[01:23:29] Okay, that I at one point because someone brought it up to me during my playthrough of 15 was like

[01:23:35] Oh, dude, you remember the fishing tournaments in legend of zelda

[01:23:38] When I tell you I went home that night from the bar at fucking 2 30 in the morning

[01:23:45] Ripped my apartment apart to find my fucking wires for the 64

[01:23:51] And I spent the next day getting to that part and the game is still at that part

[01:23:58] That is fishing simulator to me. It's great

[01:24:01] I think that's one of the first clips we ever had for our podcast when we were twitch streamings

[01:24:05] We played ocarina of time with a co-op mod and had our character models modded

[01:24:10] So I think Philip was like waluigi or something and I was like a goron

[01:24:15] so like

[01:24:15] But it's like it's like mmo zelda

[01:24:19] Ocarina of time. So we did the fishing stuff and that was one of the I don't know fishing in that game is just

[01:24:24] Relaxing, I think the music has a lot to do with it too every time you do fishing anything

[01:24:28] There's always a very calm atmosphere suddenly. So it's like, ah, yes, this is great

[01:24:34] Anyway, we need to be fishing for these hours that me and rachel put into this game rachel. How many hours did you put in?

[01:24:40] Well, according to these notes about 20 hours, uh, I wouldn't looked I assumed that you looked so 20 hours

[01:24:47] Yep, and then mine was 48 hours, which makes sense because this was my second playthrough with rachel and co-op

[01:24:53] I mean my second my second playthrough I played this originally when it first came out

[01:24:56] So this was nice for me because I got to see all of the new stuff

[01:24:59] And so and it sounded like red fox you also played when it originally came out, right? Yes. I actually I played it when it first came out

[01:25:07] Um, I used to just I would just play it on my brother's uh when he when we lived together

[01:25:11] I would play it on his switch and then I bought it for myself

[01:25:15] Uh, I bought the physical copy for it because this was around the time when devolver was threatening to

[01:25:21] Just take the game down because it was that whole thing about like, uh

[01:25:26] Buying a game digital doesn't mean you actually own it and they can choose to delist

[01:25:30] In at any point in time and shit if you've never heard about that look up. Look it up

[01:25:35] It's a great reason to support physical release media

[01:25:39] So I actually went that weekend and ordered a physical copy

[01:25:43] And that's currently what i'm playing through now and all I do is fish and I'd love mine

[01:25:47] I love my cult. That's it. Like I just talk to them make people eat shit

[01:25:52] What is your cult's name the killer fluffs the killer fluffs my

[01:25:57] Fluffs is it is it because do you have a pet?

[01:26:00] Like name fluff or is it just because they're animals? No, they're just fluffy that makes sense

[01:26:04] My my my cult is named the gaze of maul and it's g a z e not g a y s

[01:26:10] But I mean either way it doesn't matter

[01:26:13] But uh, so and I did it because I asked Molly what I should name my cult is she just kind of

[01:26:18] Side-eyed me for a little bit and then like went back to looking out the window and I was like, oh, okay

[01:26:22] That makes sense

[01:26:24] Uh, Rachel. What was your cult's name?

[01:26:27] Southern Gloombas

[01:26:29] I wonder who named that because that's what it got me

[01:26:36] So yeah, the best thing about this game is every time you return to your cult's compound

[01:26:40] It's it just shows your cult's name across the screen. It's so just like southern Gloombas and I'm like, yeah

[01:26:47] Oh, yeah, that's who I die for

[01:26:50] I'm gonna play it again, but change my cult's name to like stop fishing

[01:26:54] Stop it. I think you can change your name at any time. I think you just go into your thing

[01:26:57] I don't know if that's new or not stop fishing then

[01:26:59] Uh, so we got some steam reviews here before we actually get into the meat

[01:27:03] We like to talk about steam reviews when they're funny

[01:27:06] When they're good

[01:27:07] So this first one

[01:27:09] Is by flopjack with 37 hours on record

[01:27:13] Less than one at the time of review says this game made me realize that the place where my parents left me at the age of 10

[01:27:19] Was in fact not summer camp. What is he Joe dirt?

[01:27:23] I think so probably now see this is this is probably funny

[01:27:26] It's the joke is ruined to me because I saw this same

[01:27:30] One posted like eight times as I scrolled down the the list of reviews

[01:27:34] So that always makes me angry, but I went in third in there Rachel go ahead and read the next one

[01:27:39] So new key hd on twitch

[01:27:42] They recommend they did receive this product for free

[01:27:46] Recruit a new follower name them after someone you dislike

[01:27:51] Feed them poop until they die

[01:27:53] Cheaper than therapy. Do you think this is what the fan fiction guy does instead of

[01:27:58] Instead of go to therapy. He just plays call to the lamb

[01:28:01] Names of matters wife

[01:28:03] It's gotta be it need something uh mine says uh, oh perfect. My husband died. Sorry married his kid instead

[01:28:11] Thanks maxi crash 50 hours on record for that person

[01:28:15] More than me. Wow

[01:28:17] So the next one is ricky burwick

[01:28:19] And yes, this is the real wiki ricky burrick account

[01:28:22] I looked it up recommend 3 1.5 hours as a content creator. I already have a big cult following

[01:28:27] So this game is pretty friggin easy

[01:28:29] And if you don't know who ricky burwick is

[01:28:31] Uh, he's just go look him up. He's a he's a character

[01:28:35] All right, rachel. This is the longest review

[01:28:42] Very scary drago 30 hours on record they recommend

[01:28:48] Hey

[01:28:49] Take a sip of water kick back, you know get comfortable everyone

[01:28:53] I first met sparkles as he lay screaming

[01:28:56] Tied to a stone altar in the middle of the forest moonlight glinted off their steely knives as the cultist of leshy advanced toward me

[01:29:04] Towards their death as the last of their dying screams faded away. I could see the gratitude in the bound giraffe's eyes

[01:29:12] gratitude and

[01:29:13] Perhaps something else

[01:29:16] Sparkles he said his name was sparkles and he was among the first to join my flock

[01:29:22] After some days passed and sparkles overcame his natural fear and awe of me. He begged me to save his brother

[01:29:30] Julejul

[01:29:34] They had been walking through dark wood together when they were beset by leshy's minions and sparkles had stayed behind as a

[01:29:41] distraction giving his little brother time to escape

[01:29:45] Hopefully of course I told him in the most assuring of bleeds

[01:29:50] Your brother yet lives and he shall join our ranks and be brother to us all before the setting of the next blood moon

[01:29:59] And sure enough I came across Higiljul on my very next crusade in much the same situation as I had found sparkles

[01:30:07] At last we have you you didn't think you could hide for long. Did you shriek the priest of leshy?

[01:30:15] His shrill voice piercing the still night air naturally

[01:30:19] I made sure that his dagger pierced only air as well. Truly. I don't think

[01:30:25] This is so long

[01:30:27] You got it. This is a review for cult of the land by the way. Truly. I don't think this is a review from the guy writing the fan fiction

[01:30:36] Truly, I don't think any other

[01:30:39] Kadre of the old faith has fallen before me so quickly and effortlessly

[01:30:44] My cultists were all struck upon my eventual return with not just Higiljul

[01:30:51] But the now cowed valifer in tow as well

[01:30:55] There was nothing I could not do and I made certain all who followed me knew it well

[01:31:01] As more and more fell their way into my fleecy arms

[01:31:05] Sparkles status rose. He quickly became my left hand man my loyalty enforcer

[01:31:11] Even before his brother's rescue. He had always been the first to sing my praises

[01:31:16] Often literally and shout down anyone who dared question me

[01:31:21] So it was only natural when I found a skull necklace among the defeated leshy's trinkets

[01:31:26] What other minion could possibly claim to be worthy enough of such a gift?

[01:31:31] Of course, it would be sparkles who would endure and prosper by my side for a very long time to come

[01:31:37] It wasn't long after that

[01:31:41] When sparkles asked me to marry his brother who was far far too shy and more than a little afraid to ask himself

[01:31:49] And I must admit. I know not what my reaction would have been had Higiljul asked himself

[01:31:56] But how could I deny my most loyal follower anything?

[01:32:00] God, this is terrible

[01:32:03] Keep going

[01:32:05] The wedding was short unlike this review

[01:32:08] As all of our customs and rituals are but Higiljul was ecstatic as was sparkles

[01:32:14] But perhaps there was a trace of longing to his gaze as I kissed his brother

[01:32:21] The truth came soon enough after just two more crusades into anora

[01:32:26] Sparkles proposed to me as well

[01:32:28] Insisting that brothers share everything and it's your call anyway

[01:32:33] You can marry as many people as you want and again, how could I say no to the most devoted of my flock?

[01:32:40] It seems like the days flew past almost as quickly as my enemies fell before me after that

[01:32:47] I scarcely even remember my battles with haket and calamar what I recall far far more vividly

[01:32:55] Are the wild celebrations afterwards

[01:32:58] Surrounded by jubilant followers and the knights with my beloved sparkles and Higiljul after those

[01:33:04] But one day sparkles came to me with a final request as I looked into his face

[01:33:10] Which was finally showing the faintest lines of age. I realized he was already 87 years old

[01:33:17] Nearly twice the age most of my cultists tended to keel over from overwork and malnutrition

[01:33:23] We had spent 60 years together. Thanks to the skull necklace

[01:33:27] It had been so long and we were so close to the final victory

[01:33:32] I was to fight shamara my very next crusade the very next dawn

[01:33:37] And sparkles had been there by my side the whole time loyal sparkles

[01:33:42] Who had never once questioned my decisions or had the faintest doubts

[01:33:49] devoted sparkles who had always put the needs of the flock before his own

[01:33:55] Even asking me to marry his brother before himself

[01:33:59] faithful sparkles

[01:34:00] The most died in the wool of all my followers who had asked for so little and given so much

[01:34:07] During his unnaturally long life a long life which was almost certainly nearing its end

[01:34:13] For the skull necklace can only do so much to save off the inevitable

[01:34:18] Yet again, I could deny him nothing

[01:34:21] Especially with his twilight years surely looming so close

[01:34:25] Ask anything of me and it shall be granted. I bought gently

[01:34:30] Gentle reassurance in his ear. He was silent for a long long while before he finally spoke

[01:34:36] Benevolent leader, please don't judge me

[01:34:39] But I've always wanted to eat a meal made of poop

[01:34:44] Will you help me satisfy this dark desire?

[01:34:48] That was beautiful

[01:34:50] That's the story of sparkles listener take your hands off of your driving steering wheel and give her a round of applause

[01:34:56] Thank you so much for that right now whoever wrote this review find them

[01:35:01] Their wife or husband needs to take the kids and leave the country

[01:35:05] These are the kinds of stories that are made in the game like call to the land

[01:35:10] Don't you find this beautiful? Don't you find that whatever this was amazing?

[01:35:14] I'm I'm amazed beautiful invigorating power. So the next review if you don't mind. Okay, so

[01:35:21] My review is also

[01:35:24] Very rich in detail. There's certain genocide quat to it. Okay. It's very dark

[01:35:30] brooding

[01:35:32] My review is simply

[01:35:34] sex

[01:35:37] Well done frank in no way. Thank you so much for your recommendation

[01:35:40] Sex indeed sex is in the game everybody

[01:35:42] We got discussion points here one of which involves that call to the lamps on holy alliance is the newest one

[01:35:48] That's why we're talking about this game says crusade through dungeons sleigh hair

[01:35:51] It takes build your cult and seek new powers together

[01:35:53] But there's more as well as a hidden as well as the addition of co-op play and holy alliance expansion

[01:35:59] Also adds new terror cards relics buildings pleases his follower. Yeah, yeah

[01:36:02] Whole bunch extra stuff specifically we want to talk about that cult of personality part

[01:36:07] And holy alliance adds a huge number of follower traits making your flock more diverse unpredictable and charismatic as ever

[01:36:14] Cultists can be insomniacs bust law breaking friends out of prison and even enter catatonic state after the trauma of resurrection

[01:36:20] Or become afflicted with a curse

[01:36:23] And that's just a tiny handful of things you're going to encounter now

[01:36:26] So the sex update is called the sins of flesh which added sin as a new resource

[01:36:31] It says the lamb must lead and followers must follow in sins of the flesh a free content expansion

[01:36:36] As followers indulge in worldly pleasures choose your prideful customizable outfits and then treat them to a gluttony of vacation juice

[01:36:44] You might just find that life may hatch from an egg

[01:36:47] So they're just hinting at all the things you so your followers can have sex and then they can produce eggs

[01:36:53] They can you can also make drinks for them. There's new outfits you can make there's a tailor is a new building

[01:36:57] It's fucking awesome. We're just talking about all that pretty soon a little made costume

[01:37:02] Yeah, we never we never made it

[01:37:04] We never made the made out outfit

[01:37:06] No, that's because we made them take their clothes off and dance

[01:37:09] But first things first and also when they take their clothes off and dance they get a little leaf over their crotch

[01:37:15] Yeah, those fucking flowers. They're impossible to keep in stock

[01:37:20] That's easy. They put those flowers over their shit. All right. So first things first the soundtrack

[01:37:40] I'm gonna put this on track

[01:37:41] Goddamn

[01:37:41] Do you do you remember? Well, you were playing it earlier where you read fox this fucking soundtrack slaps, don't it?

[01:37:47] Down tracks fantastic

[01:37:49] Everybody I'm gonna probably we did this last week Philip

[01:37:52] Added the call to the land built starting cult song. I might add another song or probably just started called

[01:37:57] That's the best song they have a new song for whenever you had to child that plays

[01:38:01] It's also fucking really good and it only plays as soon as you had to child. It's

[01:38:05] Really good. It'll probably be playing right now

[01:38:25] But that's it. That's the soundtrack. It's made by who is it made by?

[01:38:29] It's said in the steam page. Oh, let me go back. Oh my god. I know it's something boy

[01:40:09] Or wait. No, I'm thinking of Dead or Alive ultimate. What is Dead or Alive ultimate? Is that not three?

[01:40:13] It doesn't matter. I found what I wanted. That's all that matters. Yeah, you can go into like a minute 15

[01:40:19] It's it is a flavor with it

[01:40:28] I

[01:40:45] How'd they get that song?

[01:40:46] I I plead you just skip around and just look at the song playing with these different scenes

[01:40:52] These cute anime girls with way too big eyes

[01:40:55] Oh my god, this is fucking terrific. This is the first time I ever okay, so for the listener

[01:41:00] Uh

[01:41:01] If you don't want to look it up it is dream on by aro smith playing over a fucking dramatic scenes of

[01:41:09] Betrayal and ninjas and sadness. It's so funny

[01:41:13] Um, and this is the first time I ever heard that song as a kid

[01:41:17] So every time I think of Dead or Alive, I mean or uh aro smith I think about this shit

[01:41:22] And it makes me cringe. All right. That was fun. That was fun. That was good

[01:41:26] What were we talking about the soundtracks? We're done with that

[01:41:29] All right the compound so this is the part that red fox said he was playing the most

[01:41:35] So we'll probably spend a lot of time talking about this

[01:41:37] Uh

[01:41:38] The compound itself we have a lot of different things that we can do there

[01:41:41] Mostly really just fucking building and decorating. That's really all you do

[01:41:45] So you can do that you can interact with followers

[01:41:48] You can hold sermons

[01:41:50] There's kind of like interacting and stuff and then you harvest resources mostly

[01:41:53] After the beginning of the game your followers are going to be doing that not you so

[01:41:58] Starting with animal crossing. Oh, basically we're like slaves having simulator. That's what this game really is the pal world

[01:42:05] Pal world. Yes. So starting with like the follower buildings

[01:42:09] We've got beds kitchens graves outhouse jail demon circle

[01:42:12] So we have we have a bunch of buildings here

[01:42:14] Do any of the buildings stand out like not just from the followers but from like all of them

[01:42:17] We have any like good stories about some of them. I have a couple. I mean, I I love the drink house

[01:42:22] I have not to do any of the new content yet, but I will say I love my graveyard

[01:42:29] I've built the graveyard and then I unlock like the morgues and like the better

[01:42:33] tombs and shit like that. But like I used to exhume the bodies all the time

[01:42:39] Well, what I used to do is if someone was being an asshole on my cold, I would make them eat their friend

[01:42:46] Because fuck them. That's why it makes sense. You can unlock a new building

[01:42:49] I don't know if it's new but I never seen it before where

[01:42:52] I think it's called natural burial where if you put a dead body into it

[01:42:56] It turns it into fertilizer for the farm. So I think there is a reason to do that

[01:43:00] I've never built in my original playthrough or in rachel's. I never built a morgue or a crypt

[01:43:05] I don't know if the morgue and crypt are like newer or what but uh, I did have a bunch of graves

[01:43:11] I just made I had a big graveyard the top left of my cult was like

[01:43:15] Designated the graveyard area and I had the things where like people could pray at them and it gets faith

[01:43:20] Rachel's cult was way more like sacrifice heavy than mine was I was too attached

[01:43:26] I was killing everyone. I was like you're ready to die today is the day you're old you're out of here

[01:43:33] We don't know what that shit

[01:43:34] Braziards one for the assholes and one for the ones that I grew to attach to

[01:43:39] The one we respect other than the one we piss and shit next to yeah pretty much

[01:43:43] But uh, yeah, so I I was a little attached to a lot of my little dudes

[01:43:47] Rachel was just like see you later kiona reeves. Oh your old monster energy drink. You're dead

[01:43:52] If you can't work

[01:43:54] No, we didn't fuck around. There was no time for being old in my cult

[01:43:58] It was time to die though and that happened a lot

[01:44:01] Yeah, and then rachel convinced everyone that being a cannibal is actually a good thing

[01:44:05] So the people didn't care if they ate their friends. We also we actually fed them

[01:44:09] follow or meals all the time because

[01:44:12] Our food we had a big cult for a longer time than I think we're supposed to and so we were constantly running out of good food

[01:44:18] Just feeding them old people

[01:44:20] Delicious the older the meat the sweeter the juice or something whatever that's saying is we also got the jail the jail is fucking great

[01:44:27] I don't know and I love that there's an update where people will want to break

[01:44:30] We did have a follower that wanted to break people out of jail

[01:44:33] But we just never had a dissenter in that time. We actually never really had dissenters hardly ever

[01:44:38] We had like maybe four

[01:44:39] Oh, yeah, they were very happy with what I did

[01:44:43] Yeah, for some reason everything pretty chill

[01:44:46] Usually when we got a dissenter is because uh, whenever we were doing a run the

[01:44:50] Uh, the bishop of the place would fuck with our place while we were away

[01:44:54] And then things would go haywire because we didn't get back in time. But

[01:44:59] Jim I mean fucking

[01:45:01] I don't know what happened with that guy. He got resurrected twice and he went crazy

[01:45:06] Okay, so this is part of the thing. So that was a curse. I looked it up

[01:45:10] All right, so had did you ever resurrect anyone red fox? No not yet

[01:45:14] So

[01:45:16] People don't like it

[01:45:17] first of all, they don't like when you do that but also, um

[01:45:22] There's a chance that they will be afflicted by the afterlife or whatever and so when we resurrected Jim the second time

[01:45:30] She did it once and it just happened to be Jim

[01:45:32] Because she was curious the second time someone was like we miss Jim

[01:45:35] Someone who literally been in the cult for like four days. Jim's by the way

[01:45:40] The very first cultist that I named

[01:45:43] so

[01:45:45] We had Jim the second time and when he came back he didn't look so good and

[01:45:50] I remember Rachel specifically going why'd he look like that?

[01:45:54] And I just kind of shrugged because I was like, I don't know like as a glitch maybe and so we were off

[01:45:59] Doing something in the in the cult and maybe not even like five minutes into us

[01:46:04] Cleaning shit off the ground

[01:46:06] We the camera yanked away from us and looked at Jim grabbing another follower and eating the shit out of him

[01:46:15] Dude was gone so fast like

[01:46:18] Jim was just fucking ready to go

[01:46:21] So like I was saying we had a very sacrifice heavy cult whenever me and Rachel did

[01:46:25] And so we immediately went straight to the fucking chapel and we're like we got to do a ritual

[01:46:30] We got a sacrifice gym. We got to get him out of here

[01:46:31] And then we couldn't we we didn't do the murder one of the things you can do is

[01:46:35] You can make your cult murder another cult member, but we didn't spec into that. We did a different thing

[01:46:42] I don't remember what it is

[01:46:43] But um, so we had to go to Midas and sacrifice him to Midas

[01:46:47] To turn him into gold we had to get him out

[01:46:49] But what I was afraid of is the time it takes for us to go to Midas and then go to the Saga

[01:46:55] I think he Jim might strike again like we're losing people up and right

[01:46:59] I don't even know who died because there was nobody really happened so fucking fast

[01:47:06] It was intense. I still don't know who died

[01:47:10] Yeah, but also Molly opened the door and now she's screaming she's

[01:47:14] Doing her choking thing and I can hear myself screaming

[01:47:17] Uh, so the jail though, I think the jail is very funny

[01:47:20] So one thing about this game whenever you're I say building and decorating because it's hard to not want

[01:47:25] To decorate once you're building and I don't you don't even need to build decorations themselves

[01:47:29] But to like move things around in ways that either are a more convenient or b

[01:47:35] Look better for you just aesthetically. So red walks was talking about how he had two corners for two different grave yards

[01:47:40] It's like you definitely don't need to do that

[01:47:42] But it's just fun

[01:47:43] It makes the game more engaging for you and there's so many different ways that you can engage with this game

[01:47:47] And that's why I think that it's so I that that's why I think it's so popular

[01:47:51] Well that's why like I said, I spent a lot of my time more so in the compound than doing like

[01:47:57] Like when I would go on runs it would be for resources and shit like that

[01:48:02] Because like I would I like tried to make mine into like animal crossing where like I tried to like

[01:48:08] Make like roads and like here at the sections. Here's like the barracks here's where like my farm is and all that

[01:48:15] And all like I've like I spent so much time reorganizing the compound

[01:48:21] Because I I love it's like a simulator

[01:48:25] That's what I forgot. I didn't mention the pad. I didn't write the pads down anywhere

[01:48:28] But you're right

[01:48:28] You can you can have different pads and stuff that you unlock as you do runs or like you go to different areas you can buy them

[01:48:34] Uh, you also unlock different floor tiles. So

[01:48:39] Oh, shit what I just do uh, so

[01:48:41] With the floor tiles

[01:48:42] So I you have like hay or like flowery patches and it literally changes like the floor pattern

[01:48:47] So you can have visibly like different sections quarantined around so like for my kitchen area

[01:48:53] I put wood down with the jail. I have it

[01:48:55] We had the jail and I put the lava floor tile underneath it

[01:48:59] I also put the jail right next to the the kitchen so that they would be forced to watch everyone eat

[01:49:05] But they starved like that was just in my head like I was like this is where the jail needs to be

[01:49:10] I think if I would have played it alone my farm or my like colt would look a lot better

[01:49:16] Uh, I kind of just let austin do all the making things and I did all the tear trees

[01:49:23] Um, and I'm gonna say like southern gloom gloombas. It looks like shit. It's fucking chaos

[01:49:31] Austin is not uh, he doesn't have that vision that I have

[01:49:36] Uh, and that's how it really is

[01:49:38] Um, but yeah, I just kind of like completely detached myself from it looking a way that I would like because

[01:49:47] It's got me aesthetically pleasing at all times

[01:49:49] You were building everything so I was just like it's fine

[01:49:51] And every time you'd put something like I had tried to organize things

[01:49:55] Then you put more of those things with them

[01:49:58] But she didn't put them on the same grid that I had going and I was just like, yeah, that's the end of this

[01:50:07] I

[01:50:07] Am a function over form

[01:50:10] Immediately, I would have to like read do the entire thing from top to bottom

[01:50:15] Which honestly it's not that hard to do

[01:50:17] Like they make it pretty simple and easy

[01:50:19] The only thing it's difficult is if you do the floor tile thing

[01:50:21] It is a little cumbersome

[01:50:23] It's probably infinitely better on pc because you have a mouse

[01:50:25] Click on stuff so on the computer on the controller. They couldn't really there's nothing you can do like

[01:50:30] There's nothing you can really do but uh

[01:50:32] Yeah, everything you could as soon as you put something down you can move it so you don't have to destroy it and rebuild it somewhere else

[01:50:37] That's fucking awesome. Um

[01:50:39] Yeah, and and then you can engage with it in any way that you would like so

[01:50:43] Like I probably like one of the things that Rachel probably didn't like is I would put things near each other that I

[01:50:47] So it's like anything that was involved in us going out and doing something like things that I wanted

[01:50:52] We wanted to check I wanted at the top so that as we were walking out

[01:50:56] We'd walk past it so the chapel was right next to the entrance

[01:50:59] The the missionary was right next to the entrance the demon sounding circle is right next to all that stuff

[01:51:05] And it looks bad

[01:51:06] Just statues and just put them in the path like the path that leads directly out of the fucking compound

[01:51:12] Those are the tropes of the body bosses and they should be the first thing you see when you're walking path

[01:51:18] That's where they go

[01:51:19] And I was like, okay

[01:51:23] Man it looks like shit

[01:51:28] Maybe one day I'll go back and just fix it and make it look nice

[01:51:34] So anyway, we got all that stuff economy stuff farm stuff. We don't need to talk about that. Um

[01:51:39] We have oh my god, I just erased everything again

[01:51:41] Uh, so the what is this a faith building?

[01:51:44] So we didn't use the commission booth because I just vetoed it

[01:51:47] But the convish the confession booth. I don't know what I just said

[01:51:51] But uh the confession they go in and it's like a confessional a Catholic confessional

[01:51:55] And you'll get a little like faith or whatever

[01:51:57] It just takes so long because you have to do it one at a time

[01:52:01] And so I was like this is

[01:52:03] It's it's not a waste. It's I don't know. So rachel started doing the blessing thing

[01:52:08] We could go a little further down so follow interactions

[01:52:11] You can bless and inspire your followers

[01:52:12] You can also tell them what to do tell them to go to sleep or tell them to work a specific thing that you need

[01:52:17] If you need resources

[01:52:18] You can tell them to eat shit as well. Yes

[01:52:21] so

[01:52:22] You can do all of those different things rachel was really into blessing them and so we started min maxing

[01:52:28] So like I would like whenever we would start a day and everyone's kind of scattered around

[01:52:33] I would just start a building of like a decoration somewhere in the middle

[01:52:37] And when all the followers ran over there

[01:52:39] I would quickly run over there and inspire them all at once because if if you inspire one person and anyone's nearby

[01:52:45] They'll all get inspired as well. So I started been maxing super hard with that

[01:52:50] If we didn't like hit like four

[01:52:53] Followers at one time. It just felt bad. It was like, oh, I'm not even gonna waste my time blessing you and walk away

[01:52:59] It is not good for our for our time splits for our speed run

[01:53:03] Um, we already talked about this right here. So the uh the quest

[01:53:07] Do you have any memorable quests? I I while you're thinking about that I have one

[01:53:11] um

[01:53:13] The one that always stands out to me. I in my solo game

[01:53:17] I had a character named christian if you know anything about christian

[01:53:21] I'm sorry. I don't he probably do if you're a listener long time listener of the show because we talked about him a lot

[01:53:26] um

[01:53:27] I also had someone named stevo

[01:53:29] Also somebody that you should probably recognize now. Which weird is that stevo was always playing pranks

[01:53:35] on christian and

[01:53:37] One time he told me to make christian eat shit

[01:53:40] And I was like this is fucking hilarious because stevo would be someone who would do pranks and christian would be someone

[01:53:46] Who would get manipulated into eating shit? So I'm pretty sure it has happened probably so it's like

[01:53:52] I so he he made me do that

[01:53:54] I mean he asked me to do that

[01:53:55] He also asked me to do it like two or three more times repeatedly and one time christian got really sick off of it

[01:54:01] And then immediately got old so it's like I always in my head

[01:54:05] Like that one giant review that rachel read had this head canon that like

[01:54:10] We I was slowly poisoning christian because stevo hated what he had done

[01:54:15] He hated he just hated uh sonichu that bad

[01:54:19] I don't know

[01:54:21] You guys got any uh funny quest line things because since you are able to name your followers

[01:54:26] It makes that it gives you a lot of funny interactions. Yeah

[01:54:29] See, I mean, I also we'd like encountered someone

[01:54:32] I think it was jim wanting someone to repeatedly eat shit over and over again and like snickering

[01:54:38] But I think it wasn't even a specific quest. It was just whatever you would get the quest

[01:54:44] And it would give you no description or whatsoever. It would just be like

[01:54:49] Have oh, yeah have monster energy drink and keanu reeves

[01:54:55] do

[01:54:56] And then nothing

[01:54:59] It's sad because like I it's definitely bugged on xbox at least I don't know if it's bugged everywhere else

[01:55:04] But it doesn't say yeah, you're right. And I just happened to know I just happened to remember most of them

[01:55:10] Or back when it wasn't like that

[01:55:12] send

[01:55:14] Clom

[01:55:15] That would be the whole quest

[01:55:18] And I would just be like, oh, it's probably on a on a

[01:55:23] On a voyage or what? I'm just sitting there like okay. I don't I don't know but

[01:55:28] Sin clumb send him somewhere

[01:55:31] My uh one of my one of the vultures who like they would not fucking die and I wanted them to so badly

[01:55:40] So I actually got a win on this one because instead the spider came and took them

[01:55:46] And I just I was like, you know what? It's just perfect. The spider can't take any of my other villagers hostage

[01:55:52] I've been wanting this guy to die anyway now he can suffer

[01:55:56] And he's still there

[01:55:59] He's still there to this day

[01:56:01] I walked by and I have to go to get around

[01:56:06] Nah, you walk by jingling your purse. Yeah

[01:56:10] It's supposed to be you

[01:56:12] I love the little dumb stories. I think that's partially why I also I wanted to so the giant thing that rachael read

[01:56:18] Also, I wanted the the sex one right afterwards. I think it's funny

[01:56:22] But I think that that really does speak to like the appeal of cult of the land too like a very

[01:56:27] Personal and intimate degree like people do get these like it's not as in detail and written out as this

[01:56:34] but it's like

[01:56:36] People you do develop these random story lines and I think that's that I think that that's a huge appeal and

[01:56:44] especially like random games like uh

[01:56:48] What is this a roguelike? I especially in roguelikes

[01:56:54] All right, so that's basically the whole compound. I think we talked about everything

[01:56:58] I mean there are rituals and stuff. Do you want is there any good ritual? What are your favorite rituals?

[01:57:02] I mean, we know rachels is the sacrifice

[01:57:05] I'm not to make them fight

[01:57:07] Yeah, no that's mine too. I was gonna say specifically making them fight

[01:57:11] I've been killing the winner

[01:57:13] Apricot pricing the winner because it was always two old people fighting

[01:57:17] Um, hey red fox. I thought your favorite one would be the fishing one that makes rare fish bond more often

[01:57:23] No, it's more of a challenge if I just find them. Oh, I see that makes it

[01:57:26] That doesn't make the most sense. I kind of like the naked dancing one

[01:57:30] I think that that's fun and then everyone runs walks around naked for a day

[01:57:33] But that makes it hard because so we did that once but we knew we had an old person

[01:57:37] But since they are naked, they don't wear their robes. So now we're like, which one's the old one

[01:57:42] I forgot and now and if the old person dies then we lose even more

[01:57:46] We lose like double the amount of faith because we are supposed to sacrifice old people. So

[01:57:51] Also, the this isn't a ritual, but it goes back to the buildings

[01:57:56] The sin buildings the drum circle with its tiny like rhythm mini game. Oh, yeah

[01:58:03] That was I I got onto that. I clicked it. It was a rhythm game and I handed the controller to you

[01:58:11] I was like, here you go. It's your favorite thing. I'm the rhythm boy

[01:58:14] It's a little finicky, but I forgive it because it's very it's

[01:58:18] It's forgiving and also it's very short. So the drink house. Do you get them drunk?

[01:58:24] Then they start fighting

[01:58:25] And that's funny. You can break them up and it's cute

[01:58:29] It is very and they walk around all intoxicated and shit man. The game just has so much charm to it. It really does

[01:58:35] I'm glad it's still being supported. Like it's still continuously getting shit to it

[01:58:39] I really want to get it on steam because I feel like playing it on pc

[01:58:43] I would be way too addicted

[01:58:45] There's got to be a lot of like steam workshop shit, too

[01:58:47] Right or if not that then also just you got to be able like there's got to be a million things

[01:58:51] Also the all the content is being supported with regular updates and all the all the content updates that add content

[01:58:58] Or that add substantive content are free. So the sin stuff is free

[01:59:03] Like the the new weapons are free. We're gonna talk about that in a minute, but the relics which are new are free

[01:59:07] All I mean, I was super surprised. I was so

[01:59:10] Happy about that that I just bought the most I bought the dlc whenever it came out

[01:59:14] Even though all it does is add like some

[01:59:17] Like follower heads or something

[01:59:19] I didn't know what it added at the time

[01:59:20] But I just bought it because I was like, yeah, thank you for making this free content for everyone to play

[01:59:25] It's just just so cool. It's so pro consumer

[01:59:29] All right, so speaking about

[01:59:32] I don't I don't even know what I just said speaking about that though

[01:59:35] The world I got the world map here

[01:59:38] Uh, the world map not a whole lot going on unless you're red fox in which case you really like

[01:59:42] The second one I've got here. Yeah

[01:59:45] passage

[01:59:45] You so you slowly unlock more of this area

[01:59:50] As you play which is good because it might be a little overwhelming

[01:59:53] Otherwise the low the lonely shacks the first one

[01:59:57] where you meet

[01:59:59] Rat rat man, I don't remember his name and you play knuckle bones, which is a little it's the

[02:00:06] What is that? What is the fucking final fantasy 8 card?

[02:00:09] Triple triad. Yeah, it's the trip. I went from a witcher

[02:00:14] It's all of those things

[02:00:16] Which by the way, did you see they added gwent to ball achero? Do you play ball achero?

[02:00:19] No, no they didn't add the gwent but they had a witcher 3 but that's pretty cool

[02:00:24] anyway

[02:00:25] knuckle bones is dumb

[02:00:28] So it's dumb, but uh, you can do it. You can do it there. Also, they added co-op knuckle bones

[02:00:33] Which which makes things and I think they also at some point added that you can build knuckle bones table in your cult thing

[02:00:40] I don't know if that came with this update or a previous one because there's been like four

[02:00:44] major updates or three I think actually and so

[02:00:48] Knuckle bones the next one pilgrims practices red fox's home away from home is where you get to fish

[02:00:54] That's also the place that has all the people that make the little noise. Yeah, it's like the bizarre and whatnot

[02:01:00] Yeah, so the

[02:01:02] You'd click on people repeatedly over and over again other than the game would freeze and we'd get stuck and have to turn it all

[02:01:09] The game's a little unstable on the xbox right now, but it's okay. They just got updated

[02:01:13] It with the co-op things they're still fixing the kinks

[02:01:16] But yeah, so every time all of the little cultists dudes that are there in the pilgrims passage and when you click on them

[02:01:21] They go

[02:01:25] In like different pitches and I'm like

[02:01:28] I don't know why but I just love it. I gotta listen to it every time. It's it's my ritual

[02:01:33] Speaking of rituals, we got the sport grotto next. This is where you unlock the mushroom ritual

[02:01:36] Where you get to brainwash your followers on shrooms

[02:01:40] Pretty cool. I think the best thing about this is the guy

[02:01:45] that

[02:01:45] The guy that teaches you this he's like these specific mushrooms will make you trip balls and he himself is a mushroom

[02:01:52] He's a dude with a mushroom growing out of him and then all of the his followers are mushroom people

[02:01:58] And whenever they die, they drop the mushrooms

[02:02:01] That you're looking for very insidious like subtle storytelling. It's like really cool

[02:02:07] Uh that he's like using his dudes and eating. He's also it's also like

[02:02:10] I don't know if he's a cannibal or not because I don't think he's actually a mushroom

[02:02:13] I think he's a thing much. I think he's a mushroom controlling like a a sentient thing, right?

[02:02:18] I never used some mushroom ritual because I never had to

[02:02:22] You know, yeah, it also makes your I think it makes your

[02:02:26] Followers hung over like when it wears off so they they aren't productive whenever it's done

[02:02:31] But yeah, I only use it like once too

[02:02:34] It's not that hard to keep your followers happy if you're paying attention to it

[02:02:38] But it's also there and it's fun like if you want that to be the way that you make your followers happy

[02:02:42] You can do that like I think some of one of the reviews I was reading was that they just kept raising the taxes

[02:02:47] and making someone fight each other and then

[02:02:50] And then giving them mushrooms and just doing that on a loop because they thought that was like hell

[02:02:54] You know what I mean

[02:02:57] Um

[02:02:58] Or and also making them we can do that

[02:03:00] You can do a thing where they work overnight

[02:03:02] Like they don't go to sleep for three days straight and they just work

[02:03:05] He's like this is hell. This is well is like

[02:03:09] Uh, we got Midas's cave also. This is where you unlock the gold sacrifice and the well which we did not use

[02:03:15] But uh, the gold sacrifice people we did use that a few times

[02:03:21] Um, I you can use it four times to get four pieces of the little icon like

[02:03:27] Talisman thing. That's how you unlock different fleeces which give you different abilities inside of the

[02:03:33] Uh world, but they're all they all are like here's a good thing and a really bad thing that happens

[02:03:38] Like you do double damage, but like you take like triple damage or something like that

[02:03:42] Or it's like you get you get a lot more hearts, but they're all fake hearts. So you can't heal

[02:03:47] It's like things like that. Um, we were using actually though. There's one that lets you

[02:03:53] Get four tarot cards at the beginning of the run and then you can't get tarot cards for the rest of the run

[02:03:57] But since we were in co-op it technically really gave us eight of them

[02:04:02] because we would each get different ones and

[02:04:06] The runs would last would be short enough that

[02:04:10] We wouldn't really get more than four anyway

[02:04:13] Now if we were doing the end game stuff where you can it's not even end game once you beat a

[02:04:19] Biome you can play it again and then go further like just keep going and that's how you get like ridiculous like

[02:04:25] Weapons and stuff like that and and bunches of tarot cards

[02:04:29] But if we were doing that we would have to take that off obviously

[02:04:35] I'll probably end up doing the uh because like my lady plays it too

[02:04:39] And all I didn't well I knew but I forgotten to actually forgot about until

[02:04:44] Uh when he told me about the episode

[02:04:46] I forgot that they added the co-op. Were you summoning the goat?

[02:04:50] Yeah

[02:04:51] So I could finally get off of everywhere i'm stuck at

[02:04:55] And the goat's sick you can play as the goat in solo also if you do like a mission I think but um

[02:05:00] The goat's sick the goat's fine. I like him

[02:05:03] It's really easy to tell him apart from the from the lamb because he's just so

[02:05:08] Strikingly different looking at a glance. So you it's hard to get kind of confused

[02:05:13] So the problem with us is that sometimes like

[02:05:16] At the especially the beginning rachel would pick up a weapon and not like it

[02:05:20] Like she picked up the hammer and I'd be like, okay, give me your controller and I've got a sword

[02:05:23] So that's not so bad

[02:05:24] And then we would be confused for the rest of the run because I'm like looking at the goat sometimes and

[02:05:30] I don't know if I don't know if rachel had a problem like differentiating us, but I was doing pretty good making sure I never

[02:05:35] I was constantly confused

[02:05:37] Uh, okay, I was confused at the end sometimes where I was I was like, where is my little guy?

[02:05:43] He's somewhere getting hit with one of those fucking fireballs

[02:05:48] Sometimes there's just shit in the in the fucking way sometimes you can't see yeah

[02:05:51] All right, well, we're pretty close to the end. We're gonna wrap up with talking about the actual

[02:05:57] rogue-like part of the game which is

[02:06:00] The different zones you go to the first one with dark wood and leshy all of these dudes represent a different

[02:06:05] like couple of things and I didn't know this until I was like looking this up but

[02:06:11] All of them have like different wounds which is like, you know, the sea no evil speak no evil hear no evil

[02:06:16] And then the last one has a bandage on his head for think no evil

[02:06:20] I just think that that's pretty interesting

[02:06:21] And they also all represent different horsemen of the apocalypse

[02:06:24] And that's that's also represented in the things that they do so whenever you go into each of these areas

[02:06:29] They do something to your followers while you're away sometimes

[02:06:33] At least until you kill them. And so the first guy here leshy

[02:06:37] Makes your makes your followers turn into dissenters

[02:06:41] Which is the easiest thing to take care of because you just need to build a jail

[02:06:44] Whenever you get back and toss their ass in it, but uh, this is rachel had a story about this right?

[02:06:50] um

[02:06:51] I know that that was like my first dissenter

[02:06:55] Was because of this guy because we were just like, you know chilling going through the runs

[02:07:01] and we

[02:07:02] I don't remember what happened like he said something

[02:07:06] And we get home and we have this dude running around like a madman trying to denounce my religion

[02:07:13] Yeah, so you throw his punk ass into the gallows

[02:07:16] Well, we didn't have a prison because you had like just talked about it before we went

[02:07:20] You were like, oh, we'll probably need one of those soon, but we could probably wait a little bit

[02:07:24] And then literally the next run

[02:07:27] This dude

[02:07:28] Stints one of my guys and we get back and we're like fuck. We need a prison now

[02:07:33] And you have to unlock it

[02:07:35] I'm pretty sure with the things but like all the unlocks come pretty good

[02:07:39] Like they just feed you pretty good at a pretty good rate, right? I think yeah

[02:07:42] It feels like you unlock stuff pretty quickly

[02:07:46] Yeah, you're unlocking something somewhere because there's a bunch of different trees you get you'd bunch of different experience types that you have

[02:07:51] So you're unlocking things pretty regularly

[02:07:54] Um, so it's not that bad. This is so and also dark wood is in the woods and it's dark

[02:07:59] That's the area. So the next place is a Nura

[02:08:03] Uh with hackat or hack it. I don't know hack it probably bishop of famine

[02:08:08] Now as you can tell from what kind of bishop it is this guy will cause your followers to starve whenever you're

[02:08:13] Out of there. So you got to make sure that you feed them one thing that you got to do before you leave every time

[02:08:18] Is check that hunger meter and give them food before you head out because you don't know how long you're going to be stuck in there

[02:08:23] You don't know if they're gonna starve just don't give them poop

[02:08:26] Don't give them poop because they get sick and then that's just gonna get worse because they don't take care of themselves

[02:08:30] They're stupid their goo goo got infants out there

[02:08:33] They don't ever fucking take clean up after these the infants were the best followers

[02:08:38] Yeah, because they shit the crib

[02:08:40] They all in one spot always

[02:08:43] You just walk over there clean up that big pile and give them some love and they gain a whole level. It's crazy

[02:08:51] I do like the the new mechanics with the children we didn't get to explore it too much, but I mean I kind of wish we did

[02:08:56] Um, I think that you'd get like a I think that they made additional like follower forms with the children being introduced

[02:09:04] I realized that very first child that we had

[02:09:07] um

[02:09:08] It was a golden egg

[02:09:10] Uh, and I didn't know until I was reading about it today

[02:09:15] But I understand now that that was a rare egg and that's why that kid specifically

[02:09:20] What was his name our first child? It was like little Henry. I think yeah little Henry

[02:09:26] He has four abilities because he came from a golden egg and the other ones only ever got two

[02:09:32] Yeah

[02:09:33] And little Henry was also the fucking our strongest soldier. We were sending it. We were making him do everything

[02:09:38] Yeah, little Henry really puts him

[02:09:42] He's

[02:09:43] out of diapers, you know

[02:09:46] So an era this place is like an autumn forest really cool

[02:09:50] I think that's probably my favorite place because it's very orange and vibrant red yellows just the best

[02:09:56] It's the best season. So obviously I like this one

[02:09:59] Uh, the next one is anchor deep

[02:10:01] Uh, this is the water world with calamar bishop of pestilence

[02:10:07] And this guy makes your followers sick, which is hell

[02:10:10] That's hell on earth

[02:10:12] Honestly, it's hell even with like the healing station

[02:10:16] Because of those damn flowers

[02:10:19] Yes, the flowers that you can only get

[02:10:21] From either growing them which takes forever or dark wood, which is uh what

[02:10:26] Every area has its own little thing that drops. So in dark wood, it's the flowers and in a neuro

[02:10:32] It's I don't remember the mushrooms that you need for the ritual and in this place in uh anchor deep

[02:10:38] They drop crystals which are important for some

[02:10:42] specific buildings

[02:10:45] But those flowers man, it was it's so hard to keep those like if you got some of those flowers

[02:10:50] Don't waste them. That's all I'm gonna say like yeah

[02:10:53] They're also in most decorations don't waste them

[02:10:56] They're in a bunch of decorations and then with like all the new content you need them for the sins like

[02:11:03] They were important to all of those rituals

[02:11:07] so just

[02:11:08] Keep an eye out for flowers. Make sure you're cutting them down collecting them growing them

[02:11:14] It's the only seed I ever bought was flower seeds

[02:11:19] Yeah, everything else you just kind of get naturally running around

[02:11:23] Um, but uh we the last place silk cradle with shamora

[02:11:27] Bishop of knowledge and war this is the most dramatic one because this one this guy forces you to fight your followers

[02:11:35] And kill them

[02:11:37] So it's he summons a fall a random follower and then I don't remember who he summoned for us

[02:11:42] I think he did it more than once. He did it a couple of times

[02:11:45] I do know that the first time he did it it was someone important

[02:11:49] And I think I'm pretty sure he summoned monster energy drink to fight us

[02:11:54] No, then the game crashed right after and so it went like set it back

[02:12:01] Um, and so we got to keep monster energy drink. It was either him or oh no, it was the cup

[02:12:10] No, not the cup

[02:12:13] You know you you tried to get us with the cup other than the game crashed

[02:12:17] It was like the cup's not dead, baby. You know the cup until later

[02:12:21] The cup was probably our best follower we ever had monster energy drink was a great guy

[02:12:28] He went crazy for a long time monster. He's got PTSD from a fucking a bad

[02:12:34] Uh a bad. What is it? What are you sitting on the?

[02:12:37] I don't even know what happened to him

[02:12:39] He just one day he just was running around like fucking like laughing to himself with the craziest

[02:12:44] Looking inside but the cup man the cup really did a lot of work. He went he went on a lot of trips

[02:12:53] Yeah him him and little Henry where there are strongest dudes and then he got old and also

[02:12:59] What is his name? Uh

[02:13:02] What was the other guy's name was a nonsense word

[02:13:05] You remember on unspungus

[02:13:09] Unspungus that's his name. Yeah, he was also very strong because it was gonna be spungus

[02:13:13] So then you couldn't change the way he looked

[02:13:16] Yeah

[02:13:18] unspungus

[02:13:19] I'm a moron

[02:13:21] So that is the silk cradle

[02:13:24] The silk cradle also looks just like cthulhu and and it's got like swords everywhere in fire. It's pretty cool

[02:13:30] Spiders

[02:13:31] Oh, yeah, it's a spider so spider webs everywhere silk. Yeah. Yeah, that's what you get from there is the silk

[02:13:37] Uh

[02:13:38] The next area is not really an area at all, but this is where you fight the boss the one who waits

[02:13:43] He's got two dudes

[02:13:45] That fight for him. I don't know red fox. You said you said you haven't beaten the game

[02:13:48] So you haven't seen I mean you've seen the one who waits and oh, yeah, no, I've seen every I've seen a whole playthrough of it

[02:13:55] Well, I think because every time you see the one who you every time you beat an area

[02:13:59] You go back to the one who waits and talk to him

[02:14:00] That's the guy who gave you the crown and then you got these two dudes that you have to fight

[02:14:05] It is a boss rush. It is literally multiple bosses in our area

[02:14:09] And it's the same bosses so you can just learn the patterns, but you have to beat ball and aim

[02:14:16] And then beat the one who waits twice and it is

[02:14:19] Uh, scary. It's hard, but uh, we did it. We did and then it crashed

[02:14:26] immediately after

[02:14:28] incredible

[02:14:30] It happens like a sky

[02:14:32] Like I'm so sure and it's just because they've like recently added like the co-op and everything and they're just trying to like

[02:14:39] Work out those kinks on xbox

[02:14:41] But it is very demoralizing

[02:14:45] The best thing though is that we almost never lost that much progress

[02:14:49] It would just waste our time

[02:14:50] So it's like we would it would always be like right before we went and did something

[02:14:55] Whatever we were doing when the game crashed it probably did crash on us like 20 something dimes unfortunately

[02:15:00] I did just like start saving constantly just in case

[02:15:05] um, but I

[02:15:08] I don't like fault

[02:15:10] Anyone for it. It's just something that happens

[02:15:12] Especially whenever you roll out a new big update like co-op

[02:15:17] Which i'm glad they have

[02:15:19] All right now we got the weapons actually who's your favorite dude out of all these four

[02:15:23] Do you like any of them?

[02:15:26] I like heck it

[02:15:28] But I hate fighting him

[02:15:30] Yeah, heck I think

[02:15:34] Is that is this is was this the fight that I survived on one one HP like half a heart

[02:15:39] Which one was that no that was actually the very last fight

[02:15:42] Oh, it was fucking shamora the first time we fought him and I just survived just turned on

[02:15:48] I just walked in it was it was the one who waits

[02:15:52] like

[02:15:53] He I died

[02:15:56] By the fourth wave

[02:15:57] I died and then you just had half a heart

[02:16:01] So when we're playing we're like lounging on the couch one of us has the legs on the other

[02:16:05] Like we're just chilling and then as soon as she died and I went down to one heart

[02:16:08] I just got get off me and I'm like fucking sitting forward

[02:16:11] Lock it in and I lost in their heart and I'm like god

[02:16:15] And then I'm like my dog gets scared. She's like, oh no, what's wrong?

[02:16:19] There's something bad happening and I'm just fucking

[02:16:21] Stressed, but I mean, I guess it was that I don't remember it was like five in the morning

[02:16:25] So we went to sleep right after

[02:16:28] but uh

[02:16:30] Yeah, man. I mean I locked in somewhere. Anyways, so weapons

[02:16:34] Got six new we have six different weapons one of them's new

[02:16:38] We got a sword the axe the dagger the gauntlets and the hammer

[02:16:43] so

[02:16:44] It from also the difference between all of them

[02:16:47] Besides the new one the blunder bus this is different. It's out of these five

[02:16:52] They are the faster they are the less damage they do and also the closer the range is so

[02:17:00] The daggers are very very close range in the fastest and then it goes all the way up to the hammer

[02:17:05] Which is the slowest, but it has the longest range and also it does an aoe like this

[02:17:11] So the axe does a swipe

[02:17:12] But the hammer does a big circle aoe and it's way bigger than it looks because it'll give you a little aiming reticle

[02:17:19] To tell you where you're about to hit and also the cool thing about the hammer because I got used to it after a while

[02:17:23] Because I used to hate it

[02:17:24] But whenever you start to swing the hammer it takes so long that the game allows you to aim the hammer

[02:17:30] After you hit the attack button

[02:17:32] So that if in case you were fighting something fast you can lead it

[02:17:36] In front of it and then slam down on top of where it's at

[02:17:38] It also allows you to to dodge cancel out of it. So this is no dark souls the game's a little bit more forgiving than that

[02:17:46] Does anyone and then the last weapon is the blunder bus this got added in the sins update and it's it's a gun

[02:17:54] It's a shotgun, uh, and I don't like it

[02:17:57] But you know I kind of fucked with the blunder bus

[02:18:01] because it

[02:18:03] There was a lot I feel like toward the end there was a lot of ranged enemies

[02:18:08] Or just enemies that were hopping all over the place. So being able to like

[02:18:12] Step back from them, but then you could also shoot it decently far

[02:18:17] But I think I mostly played with the gauntlets

[02:18:21] Yeah, uh anytime is a lot

[02:18:23] Axe axe is probably my favorite, but I was more often having the ham

[02:18:27] I don't know. It just kept giving us hammers

[02:18:29] And so this is the thing is that rachel was like i'll take an axe

[02:18:33] Maybe if it's the if it's the best thing there, but if there's a hammer

[02:18:37] It's always apps every time I see a hammer. I'm like, I got to take that because she's not going to take it

[02:18:41] And uh, so I just always had a hammer it felt like but after a long time

[02:18:45] I got really really good with it and I started to prefer it

[02:18:48] Because a lot of enemies can't attack you from the range of the hammer

[02:18:53] So as long as you don't fuck around with a small fast enemy, it's fine

[02:18:56] The only guys who are different are the last level the uh, what is it?

[02:19:01] The silk cradle has this these enemies that have really long swords and they hit in like horizontally

[02:19:08] Those guys will fuck me up because they have like twice the range of the of the hammer. It's crazy

[02:19:15] Uh, but I mean, I like the heavier hig things I think and that carries over because that's how I played elden ring

[02:19:20] Was double great great swords. I didn't mind the dagger the dagger had a good heavy attack like

[02:19:28] I don't know if you ever saw it, but it like that like shoot forward

[02:19:33] Type of thing and I keep getting a lot of range out of it

[02:19:36] No toward the end. I started using a lot of the heavy attacks

[02:19:41] Um, they were actually pretty nice like with all of them. We did have the masteries on it. Yeah

[02:19:46] Yeah, I started using them and they were pretty cool

[02:19:49] Uh, so I don't I think the hammer you spun in a circle

[02:19:52] But the axis is really good because you throw it straightforward and there are some enemies that have shields

[02:19:56] So it took a minute for me to realize why we couldn't fucking kill these guys very fast

[02:20:01] And it's because you have to heavy attack them first and

[02:20:04] The axe was always really good for that. Uh, so besides the weapons you can as you're leveling up your

[02:20:11] Powers you can unlock nude weapon variants. You can unlock more variants of everything really and so

[02:20:18] The variance of the weapons is you can either get bane which gives your weapons poison

[02:20:23] Vampiric is heal when you kill people a chance to heal

[02:20:25] Nichromatic gives you a chance to summon ghosts switch home in on enemies

[02:20:30] zealous zealous gives you fur

[02:20:34] Furver conversion so furver is what you use for the curses which we'll talk about next

[02:20:38] But if you have full

[02:20:41] furver then all of the overflow will go into your

[02:20:46] Uh, faith

[02:20:47] So it helps you level your faith up faster and unlock the buildings at in your cult a little faster

[02:20:52] So zealous is pretty cool. Uh, merciless gives you better crit chance and godly makes things more damaging

[02:20:58] Uh, and that's it for the weapons

[02:21:01] We don't need to talk about the variance because that hardly ever mattered

[02:21:04] We would just grab whatever we wanted anyway. No matter what the variant was

[02:21:09] Uh, but otherwise you've got curses

[02:21:13] Uh, there are five different curses each with four variants

[02:21:19] and

[02:21:20] I don't know how much we need to talk about any of these. We just talk about the fireballs

[02:21:24] I would just talk about the the different types so that we got the fireballs here, which are just the single shot

[02:21:30] Kind of thing they're basically like just a kamehameha wave and in the variance just change how it functions

[02:21:35] We have blasts, which are just a oes around you the blasts with my favorite because

[02:21:42] Very convenient to blast freeze everyone around you

[02:21:46] And the invincibility came in super clutch like toward the end with the stupid fireballs

[02:21:52] Oh, yeah, it would bounce those back off

[02:21:55] I was wondering what was doing that. I didn't know this week just did because I never grabbed the blast

[02:22:00] I always want I always so my favorite is either the fireballs

[02:22:03] Or the or the splatters or the tentacles the other two I would just try and stay away from so the next one being slashes

[02:22:10] Uh, this makes a giant aoe like attack in front of you and this one also has a freeze

[02:22:15] Anytime there's a freeze on it. It is so nice. Holy shit

[02:22:19] Just to slow everything down for a second

[02:22:21] So you always were grabbing those freezing things and it just saved my life a couple of times because I was always using a hammer

[02:22:28] So I was always fighting for my fucking life

[02:22:31] Uh, the splatters they are the iccer like kind of lobbing things. So whenever you aim this it's a circle that slowly goes outwards

[02:22:39] Um, which is pretty fucking cool

[02:22:42] My favorite one of those was the one that leaves a trail as you shoot it

[02:22:46] Which is very convenient those little the iccer is like this black stuff that when the enemies stand on it, they get hurt

[02:22:52] And it actually hurts pretty bad. So helps

[02:22:55] And then the last one which is tentacles which is kind of like the fireballs

[02:22:59] But instead of shooting a projectile it makes a fissure in the ground and makes tentacles come out or whatever type of

[02:23:05] tentacle you grabbed

[02:23:07] There's one for ice pillars. I don't think I ever sell this one

[02:23:11] I don't I don't remember it

[02:23:13] Because that sounds really cool if uh, if we did have it

[02:23:16] But uh, what was your favorite curse red fox?

[02:23:20] Oh for the curse wise

[02:23:21] I always just went with the fireballs the multi-sequence shot one specifically hell. Yeah

[02:23:27] Lot of fucking damage

[02:23:29] My only issue with that one is when you get to the boss as soon as minions spawn you can't use this because

[02:23:34] They will just all go to the minions. Which I mean that's my problem. What heck it

[02:23:37] Every time I tried to use it it would hit the the like swarov flies that he would send out

[02:23:43] Yeah, no fuck. I remember the swarov flies

[02:23:46] The the axe is great for that though the axe fucks those flies

[02:23:50] If you just roll backwards and attack and then roll backwards and attack again fucking sick

[02:23:54] Um, yeah, so those are the curses. We got the relics

[02:23:58] Which are new we don't have to talk about all these

[02:24:00] Did you see any have you seen the relics since you've been playing again because these are in a new edition?

[02:24:04] Yeah, yeah, no, I've been finding them

[02:24:07] They're pretty cool and some of them are really interesting and so the way that these work is that it's just a you an additional thing

[02:24:13] You can use uh, you hit the button

[02:24:15] It goes on cooldown unless it's fragile then it breaks the fragile ones are usually really strong

[02:24:20] The one of the ones that stands out to me was uh, I got a relic that would destroy all my tarot cards

[02:24:27] but give me

[02:24:28] Bonus damage equal to how many that got destroyed that way and so

[02:24:33] I don't know it's just like it they really do change the way that you play

[02:24:36] Some of them will like spawn bombs all over the place. Some of them will summon an additional demon

[02:24:41] That will do something random. It's like

[02:24:44] It's it's just really interesting

[02:24:46] It's nice to have more variants in games like this because it just gives you more opportunity to be creative

[02:24:52] Uh, and then we got the tarot. There's way too many to the list off

[02:24:55] And they don't have any like tiers unlike the curses and weapons. So you can just look those up

[02:25:00] I mean unless you guys have relics you remember probably not no really

[02:25:05] Uh

[02:25:06] Then we got the tarot cards the tarot cards are the primary way to change up the runs

[02:25:12] You're going to run into these multiple of these throughout each run

[02:25:15] Um, the tarot cards they do kind of all the kinds of generic things

[02:25:19] Do you would think they would do like they give you extra hearts or they'll give you more damage

[02:25:22] Some of it's like give you more damage during the day or the night and whenever you play in co-op

[02:25:27] Which is the most interesting thing about this is that uh, you get the choice between two care tarot cards

[02:25:34] Usually and in co-op it gives you that choice and whoever

[02:25:39] Whatever you pick your co-op partner gets the other one basically so you can kind of like pick

[02:25:45] So basically you're getting both of them. It's just which one would suit the other person better

[02:25:49] So really it's like at the beginning of the game when rachel is still learning every time anything gave her more defensive

[02:25:54] Capabilities I would give it to her and if something was useless or something affected both of us

[02:25:59] Then I would just be like give me that because it doesn't give us anything really

[02:26:04] Uh, but speaking of affecting both of us there are five new tarot cards for co-op exclusively

[02:26:11] uh

[02:26:12] And they're pretty cool

[02:26:14] They the comrades

[02:26:15] Gives you double damage when you're close to each other and it makes gives you this like fucking super sand force

[02:26:22] Like a field around you. It's really cool. The rivals is the exact same except it's the opposite when you're far apart you get double damage

[02:26:29] It was always nice having both of those on the same run because then it was just

[02:26:34] As long as we weren't medium linked away from each other

[02:26:39] Uh, we'd be able to fuck fuck shit up. Uh, the next one bonds a battle

[02:26:43] It makes a tether between the goat and the lamb and any enemy inside of it takes

[02:26:48] Continuous damage. There is an enemy that is like this

[02:26:52] Uh, these like floating eyes and like they they all tether to each other. That's similar to that

[02:26:59] um, this sucks

[02:27:01] I hate when we like when we get this one because

[02:27:05] We would we would change our strategy

[02:27:08] According to that could to try and keep bosses and stuff in between

[02:27:11] But the amount of damage is so negligible that I always was sad when I saw this one pop up

[02:27:16] Uh, then we got the synchronous. This is the best one by far

[02:27:21] This one's insane and we always stomped runs

[02:27:24] So the synchronous means every time you to attack the goat and the lamb attacks simultaneously you crit

[02:27:31] Always they need to nerve this shit out of this because the thing reason the reason why is because

[02:27:37] With rachel always grabbing either the daggers or the gauntlets

[02:27:40] She's attacking fucking furiously all the time and I'm just doing the hammer

[02:27:45] So I inevitably attack at the same time as her and then my crit will just one shot shit sometimes like it's like

[02:27:52] I will destroy people with that fucking crit

[02:27:55] The only thing I don't like

[02:27:58] And this is a problem with the original game too is that the crit sound is a little too similar to the sound of you taking damage

[02:28:05] so

[02:28:06] And there's not a lot of visual like there's not a lot of visuals for when you take damage

[02:28:11] So it's like when I hear that crit sometimes I think I'm getting hit and I'll roll out of my attack with my hammer

[02:28:17] And I didn't get hit and I'm just like oh

[02:28:18] Fuck and that'll happen all the time when you're using the synchronous because you're always going to be critting

[02:28:24] Uh, and then the last thing here flint and steel when you roll through each other

[02:28:27] You have a chance to cause an explosion

[02:28:30] 20% chance. I think it's a really cool

[02:28:33] Because you're rolling around all the time. It's especially good if you have the comrades when you're close to each other you do more damage

[02:28:39] Uh, and then there are terror cards that make explosions do more damage

[02:28:41] So there's a lot of things that you can do in this game. Uh, I

[02:28:45] Really like the new additions. I love the new co-op

[02:28:50] Uh, but that's basically it. I don't have too much to say

[02:28:54] Else what about you guys? Do you have any more terror cards that you remember? Nope

[02:28:58] Hmm

[02:28:59] I don't think so

[02:29:01] There were so many of them

[02:29:03] Uh, I feel like it was nice because we got to see a lot of the tarot cards

[02:29:07] Because of that cloak we had on so we were basically seeing like eight tarot cards are run

[02:29:13] Uh

[02:29:14] I loved it whenever I got the tarot card that made enemies drop fish

[02:29:18] I was like, yes

[02:29:19] Yeah, I mean fuck who needs to actually go fishing whenever you can just have a tarot card for that

[02:29:24] No, you just fish

[02:29:26] Ask that I would get sacrificed for that if I was in red fox's cult

[02:29:30] In fact, he's gonna make a cultist named naïve and sacrifice him tonight

[02:29:34] I might actually do that. All right. Well speaking of all that we are about to wrap up our final words

[02:29:40] We whenever we're talking about final words

[02:29:43] I like to we like to talk about how much would you pay for this now?

[02:29:46] Me and red fox just paid full price for this already when it first came out

[02:29:49] We'd do it again

[02:29:50] I would do it again. In fact, so you can even go up with the price

[02:29:54] I probably would pay like 50 bucks for this especially in the state that it's in right now

[02:29:58] I don't know how people feel about that

[02:30:00] But like that is that's a good price for this game and the game is only 24 bucks. I think normally so

[02:30:07] Try to pick this up if you can it's definitely worth your time

[02:30:09] What about you richo? How much would you pay for this? You played it off of my back?

[02:30:14] um

[02:30:14] I mean like

[02:30:19] 25 yeah, I'd play

[02:30:22] But I don't buy games so

[02:30:24] I don't ever pay for games

[02:30:27] You don't need to 25 seems fair. You don't need to pay for games when you're around me

[02:30:31] I got

[02:30:34] I'm just gonna play your games keep doing that

[02:30:39] And I'm paying for video games

[02:30:41] Well for final words, I'll get mine out of the way. I guess the

[02:30:45] Well, obviously been gushing for a long time

[02:30:47] So I definitely highly recommend this game especially with co-op this game was a blasting co-op

[02:30:51] The only issue is that there's there's a lot of crashing you got to look out for that

[02:30:55] If that sounds good to you if everything you've just heard sounds good to you. Fuck. Yeah jump into this

[02:31:00] It's great. Send me some of your funny interactions with your cult members or funny names that you come up with

[02:31:06] I I just love all this

[02:31:08] I love any game that allows you to be creative and that has a bunch of randomness in it like spontaneous gameplay or whatever

[02:31:14] It's called

[02:31:16] I love it so much. What about you red fox with your final words?

[02:31:18] Oh, my final words is an absolutely great game

[02:31:21] I put this up there with like Hades as far as rogue like scale

[02:31:25] Like this is honestly, this is a game that has the best of everything

[02:31:30] Action world building and also you can't go wrong with the aesthetic

[02:31:36] It's fucking beautiful and the soundtrack I forgot to mention we all love the soundtrack though. What about you Rachel final words? You're done
