[00:02:47] [SPEAKER_02]: alright so we're a gaming podcast we like to talk about the games we're

[00:02:50] [SPEAKER_02]: playing so I guess we'll start with you Rachel since you haven't said

[00:02:53] [SPEAKER_02]: nothing what are you even playing even playing any games

[00:02:56] [SPEAKER_03]: nothing new still on that yakuza crying and mostly just playing not video games

[00:03:05] [SPEAKER_02]: and playing magic instead we kind of played so much games in September

[00:03:10] [SPEAKER_02]: that we've been in in a low gear yeah what you qz are you on

[00:03:16] [SPEAKER_00]: zero ah yeah I see I need to get back to that one because I

[00:03:21] [SPEAKER_00]: played seven first loved it and then everyone's like go back and play zero

[00:03:25] [SPEAKER_00]: and I did and then it's just like it could just be my brain but like like

[00:03:29] [SPEAKER_00]: subs only is tough for me and then I didn't like the combat in zero at all

[00:03:35] [SPEAKER_00]: I do not like it so I kind of bounced off of it but everyone's telling me

[00:03:39] [SPEAKER_00]: just put the difficulty back and easy and just breeze through it for the

[00:03:42] [SPEAKER_00]: story and I probably will at some point

[00:03:45] [SPEAKER_03]: definitely what I'm doing it's yeah just a beefy dude simulator if Rachel sounds

[00:03:51] [SPEAKER_02]: a little tired it's because she hasn't had her coffee

[00:03:54] [SPEAKER_02]: she'll get there she's drinking right now she's got a lot of red flags going on

[00:03:58] [SPEAKER_02]: lately for me though because oh no I looked at her fucking computer and the

[00:04:04] [SPEAKER_02]: background is modima and I looked at her facebook and the banner is modima

[00:04:08] [SPEAKER_02]: and I'm like a little worried about like I wouldn't play it for

[00:04:12] [SPEAKER_03]: actually ordered you a Halloween costume

[00:04:16] [SPEAKER_02]: I would probably freak out I would be so happy about that

[00:04:20] [SPEAKER_02]: Majinave I would also be happy about that I would wear that to work regularly I'd watch that

[00:04:27] [SPEAKER_02]: then modima would really be everywhere all right well then are you excited for that

[00:04:31] [SPEAKER_02]: a modima pirate game coming oh man I literally shit myself I was pissing and

[00:04:36] [SPEAKER_02]: shitting I was going crazy I didn't want to show Rachel because she since

[00:04:40] [SPEAKER_02]: she's on yakuza zero she's literally like in the 80s and this is modern day so it's like well

[00:04:45] [SPEAKER_02]: modima doesn't die because he's running around modern day but oh well I'm glad that

[00:04:53] [SPEAKER_02]: she because she's super happy about it too modima is her favorite so far I think it might just

[00:04:58] [SPEAKER_03]: only play zero in the pirate one just yeah she that's exactly what I was afraid of

[00:05:04] [SPEAKER_03]: uh this only modima for the rest of every only modima I'm an ichiban guy love ichi

[00:05:13] [SPEAKER_02]: ichiban school I'm a fucking Kiryu guy I'm fucking old-fashioned here is great here is great

[00:05:18] [SPEAKER_00]: infinite wealth finally convinced me on Kiru because like in seven it's just like he shows up

[00:05:24] [SPEAKER_00]: and I'm like oh big deal but I'm like who fucking cares right and then in infinite wealth you

[00:05:28] [SPEAKER_00]: spend so much time with him and seeing all the past stuff yeah I was like oh I kind of get it

[00:05:32] [SPEAKER_00]: now but I still need to go back and actually like play those games properly you should play

[00:05:37] [SPEAKER_00]: Gaiden you could probably play it's on game pass I haven't installed so I probably will very short

[00:05:44] [SPEAKER_02]: that's the good thing about it so you can oh yeah blast through that and like yeah probably when I

[00:05:49] [SPEAKER_00]: finish the games I'm working on though I'll probably be the next one so well speaking of

[00:05:53] [SPEAKER_00]: games you're working on what are you working on right now well um I am currently working

[00:05:58] [SPEAKER_00]: through the Bioshock series because me and Dre from Fine Time, Fella Superpod Network show we are

[00:06:04] [SPEAKER_00]: planning to do a review of the Bioshock series so I finished one I finished two I finished the

[00:06:09] [SPEAKER_00]: DLC for two yesterday and so I've started infinite holy shit infinite is insane it's really cool

[00:06:17] [SPEAKER_00]: isn't it it's it's great but like the way the game kind of unravels like the world building

[00:06:23] [SPEAKER_00]: and storytelling like I'm not super far I haven't even met Elizabeth yet I like just got to Monument

[00:06:28] [SPEAKER_00]: Island so I'm still very early in but like wow you know because when it starts out you're like

[00:06:34] [SPEAKER_00]: you're walking around Columbia you're like I'm not this is kind of weird but whatever

[00:06:38] [SPEAKER_00]: and then you get to like the stage where they're like where the voice says don't pick ball 77

[00:06:43] [SPEAKER_00]: and you pick the ball up and it says 77 I'm yelling don't don't no and then and then the

[00:06:49] [SPEAKER_00]: stuff happens and you're like oh shit but it's very good I'm very impressed right now

[00:06:54] [SPEAKER_03]: did you ever play Bioshock Rachel I don't think I ever be any of them that I know that I like

[00:07:00] [SPEAKER_03]: started Bioshock at some point I think like three or four times in my life I've started Bioshock

[00:07:06] [SPEAKER_00]: and just never finished it yeah you kind of have to get immersed in them to like care because

[00:07:11] [SPEAKER_00]: no pun intended yeah unless you actually give a shit about like the story and like the lore

[00:07:18] [SPEAKER_00]: like as like as far as them games as far as like the gameplay goes it's not the greatest

[00:07:24] [SPEAKER_02]: but you know it's not bad by any means I could probably pick up and just beat Bioshock in a

[00:07:30] [SPEAKER_02]: single evening right now like I don't I don't know why but it's not a super long game

[00:07:35] [SPEAKER_00]: yeah no they play very well it's just infinite plays the best so far

[00:07:39] [SPEAKER_00]: infinite is the most like dynamic it feels like a shooter because the other ones are not shooters

[00:07:44] [SPEAKER_02]: yeah the other ones are kind of like yeah I don't know they're old school immersive Sims

[00:07:50] [SPEAKER_00]: I've been meeting what I've heard yeah and then I've also been playing um since we were talking

[00:07:55] [SPEAKER_00]: about unity and I was like you know I should probably start playing Assassin's Creed again so

[00:07:58] [SPEAKER_00]: I picked up Origins and I I restarted it I didn't get super far the first time but

[00:08:04] [SPEAKER_00]: Origins is very good I've been slowly working my way through the series I think I started late

[00:08:09] [SPEAKER_00]: 22 playing one and then last year I played two through unity and then I beat Syndicate earlier

[00:08:15] [SPEAKER_00]: this year so now I'm into Origins so yeah so next year it'll probably just be Odyssey and Valhalla

[00:08:22] [SPEAKER_00]: and then that'll yeah I'm good on that I have Origins historically been an Assassin's Creed

[00:08:28] [SPEAKER_03]: hater throughout my life then you'll have to wait and find out until later if I am still dead

[00:08:35] [SPEAKER_02]: cliffhanger the I I get why people hate them I do I I slowly burned out because I really loved the

[00:08:42] [SPEAKER_02]: first one I was a weird one I still prefer the first one over like you know the etio trilogy

[00:08:47] [SPEAKER_02]: so like etio trilogy has like it's a lot more of like fun with the story and everything but

[00:08:53] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't know why but I just thought that the pattern of get information stalk the person

[00:08:59] [SPEAKER_02]: kill the people around them then kill them it's like over and over and over again that's repetitive

[00:09:04] [SPEAKER_02]: but I also just kind of felt comfort in that when I first played it so the I don't know

[00:09:10] [SPEAKER_00]: well there is some like intrigue in one you know because it's like the first one and I remember

[00:09:14] [SPEAKER_00]: I remember when the first one came out like Ubisoft were pushing it really hard and I rented

[00:09:18] [SPEAKER_00]: it at the time and like they didn't advertise any of the like Desmond stuff at all so when

[00:09:24] [SPEAKER_00]: I first put in the game and then it's like your Desmond walk around like what the

[00:09:27] [SPEAKER_00]: fuck is this shit like I wanted to like assassinate people in the 1100s and then eventually

[00:09:32] [SPEAKER_00]: the game takes a long time to really get going in one but like once you're once you're there

[00:09:38] [SPEAKER_00]: you know it's okay and the game looks kind of drab the combat isn't all that amazing but people do

[00:09:44] [SPEAKER_00]: like how they establish the like the assassins and the established lore in the first game which

[00:09:51] [SPEAKER_00]: is fair it's very it was very all tire sucks I don't like all tire at all

[00:09:57] [SPEAKER_00]: like until revelations I just think he's kind of nothing I just think he's so cool I don't know why

[00:10:02] [SPEAKER_02]: I think because he's like so mysterious he doesn't say much he doesn't do anything he

[00:10:07] [SPEAKER_02]: seems like a blank slate but he's also like he's a bit of a prick well yeah but then at the

[00:10:13] [SPEAKER_00]: yeah but at the end of one he becomes less of a prick but in revelations when you pick up

[00:10:19] [SPEAKER_00]: all tires like storyline that's when I actually really start to appreciate his character where he

[00:10:24] [SPEAKER_00]: realizes like the power of the apple and everything and he's like oh I actually like need to step up

[00:10:30] [SPEAKER_00]: and that's when I really go to like him and we're not here to talk about that yeah Assassin's Creed

[00:10:38] [SPEAKER_02]: is an interesting series and we got a lot of different perspectives we're going to be talking

[00:10:42] [SPEAKER_02]: about later on the games I'm playing I'm also not playing a lot mostly playing magic the

[00:10:48] [SPEAKER_02]: gathering of which I fucking lost every single game last night that was awesome so that was a great

[00:10:56] [SPEAKER_00]: use of like six hours I played magic the gathering once I was in I was still in the scouts at that

[00:11:03] [SPEAKER_00]: point so it was a long ass time ago and we were like at one of our like little camping trips and

[00:11:10] [SPEAKER_00]: and they were like sitting at the uh like a camping table playing magic and they're like oh you

[00:11:14] [SPEAKER_00]: should try with us and I'm like sure and then they did a piss-poor job explaining it to me and

[00:11:18] [SPEAKER_00]: being kind of dicks about it so I was just like classic that people don't play magic well that

[00:11:24] [SPEAKER_00]: was also around the time um Yu-Gi-Oh was a big thing and I actually played Yu-Gi-Oh back then

[00:11:29] [SPEAKER_03]: in fact I had my deck somewhere I feel so bad for people that play Yu-Gi-Oh just why would happen

[00:11:36] [SPEAKER_03]: just like every person I know every person because I talk to people that play guard games

[00:11:42] [SPEAKER_03]: all the time because I work in a card store and so every person who's like oh yeah I just started

[00:11:50] [SPEAKER_03]: playing magic or lorca or one piece or whatever they're playing Digimon they're like Yu-Gi-Oh

[00:11:58] [SPEAKER_03]: it just makes me sad it's the format is just so terrible and like it's not very beginner friendly

[00:12:06] [SPEAKER_03]: these days it's just like not fun anymore oh because it's just like so you should fucking watch like

[00:12:13] [SPEAKER_02]: optimized and like you should go on youtube and watch like videos of like people playing Yu-Gi-Oh in

[00:12:20] [SPEAKER_02]: the modern day because it is literally like turn one they do 29 things every card has 76 sentences

[00:12:27] [SPEAKER_02]: written on it and they all chain together and and then you just have the full battlefield

[00:12:33] [SPEAKER_00]: it's insane that's why I don't play that's why because I tried playing because um well here's

[00:12:39] [SPEAKER_00]: my deck it's pretty big but um I remember I bought I bought the Yu-Gi starter deck like back in the

[00:12:46] [SPEAKER_00]: day like when you could get it and I had the whole thing and that's what I tried playing with

[00:12:50] [SPEAKER_00]: and like you know when it was brand new I think it was easier to get into but I think the

[00:12:54] [SPEAKER_00]: Kyba starter deck was the good one I know people had the Kyba one as well so but I picked

[00:13:00] [SPEAKER_00]: Yu-Gi because I didn't know anybody else it was it was like one of the few anime as I watched when

[00:13:04] [SPEAKER_00]: I was a child I have a love-hate relationship with anime but I love to hate it um but but yeah I still

[00:13:10] [SPEAKER_00]: like Yu-Gi-Oh so you know if I ever meet Eren me and him we'll probably play some Yu-Gi-Oh

[00:13:15] [SPEAKER_02]: classic Yu-Gi-Oh no none of this fucking synchro summon pendulum summon bullshit I did have a

[00:13:20] [SPEAKER_00]: binder of pokemon cards at one point but I gave all that away because I didn't want it yeah

[00:13:26] [SPEAKER_03]: I did get to try Lorkana last night and that was super fucking weird uh you know like the cat

[00:13:32] [SPEAKER_03]: Lorkana makes me want to throw up it was one of the cats from like uh the heuristic cats and uh

[00:13:39] [SPEAKER_02]: explain what Lorkana is for the for the listener who doesn't know you're talking about me I mean

[00:13:43] [SPEAKER_03]: it's a Disney uh trading card deck building game you know Disney and yeah it's Disney but

[00:13:51] [SPEAKER_03]: so whenever I guess whatever you play like your character because they're not creatures or

[00:13:56] [SPEAKER_03]: characters uh the first thing that you play it your character the ink is still wet

[00:14:04] [SPEAKER_03]: basically it's summoning sickness in magic terms uh okay yeah totally it's called the ink

[00:14:11] [SPEAKER_03]: is still wet yeah but I can't play this cat character and I'm sorry my cat is really wet

[00:14:18] [SPEAKER_03]: and that's all I could do that's all I could fucking do I played it three times and I just

[00:14:23] [SPEAKER_03]: got my cat is wet the lady that was teaching me I was like I can't play this game with children

[00:14:30] [SPEAKER_00]: this is not a children's game like if I was walking past somebody and I heard them say that

[00:14:35] [SPEAKER_00]: I I think I would stop in my tracks a bit what the fuck are you talking about yeah but it was

[00:14:39] [SPEAKER_03]: accurate I'm like yeah my cat's wet I can't do anything so naturally yeah I got my ass be uh

[00:14:47] [SPEAKER_03]: but it's it's it's interesting it's fine mechanics are like okay it's not super fleshed out yet

[00:14:54] [SPEAKER_00]: because it's still a relatively new game yeah I see I was see I never got big into card games

[00:15:00] [SPEAKER_00]: like those type of card games I played a bit of Gwent when I played Witcher 3 and Gwent was fine

[00:15:04] [SPEAKER_00]: other than that I'm like I don't know I'll play Uker there's like a new card game just got

[00:15:10] [SPEAKER_00]: released so I'm kind of interested in well I can't think of the name I refer to it's like

[00:15:14] [SPEAKER_00]: a deck of 52 kind of game or use like a traditional like card deck I'd have to explain it to you need

[00:15:19] [SPEAKER_00]: four people it's a whole thing it's like go it's like old maid it's more complicated than that

[00:15:26] [SPEAKER_02]: well the games I'm playing I'm playing visions of mana still I think I'm on chapter seven

[00:15:36] [SPEAKER_02]: which the game is starting to speed up because chapter four and chapter five were like

[00:15:42] [SPEAKER_02]: 29 hours long and I thought that that was how the whole game rest of the game is going to be but

[00:15:46] [SPEAKER_02]: the other chapters are kind of going by a little bit faster and I've got like an end goal I can see

[00:15:50] [SPEAKER_02]: and I'm hoping it's not going to do a dragon quest 11 on me and be like oh that's not the end

[00:15:55] [SPEAKER_02]: you gotta do other things so the vision of man is still pretty cool I'm getting kind of burnt

[00:15:59] [SPEAKER_02]: out because I'm trying to just beat it at this point yeah I put down everything I was I told

[00:16:05] [SPEAKER_02]: I said this multiple times on the show but I put myself in a trap where I started more

[00:16:09] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm always juggling a lot of games but now I'm juggling like a bunch of really really long

[00:16:13] [SPEAKER_02]: games which is making the end seem unreachable like I'm playing like disco elysium and I wanted to do

[00:16:20] [SPEAKER_02]: fucking Baldur's Gate 3 I dropped that son of a bitch really fast I was like okay not right now

[00:16:25] [SPEAKER_02]: that I'm doing like a fucking million things so I tried to play mario legy superstar saga

[00:16:30] [SPEAKER_02]: and I wanted to play the second fucking uh golden sun game I never mind

[00:16:35] [SPEAKER_02]: well superstar saga is not that long yeah but I mean it's not like a fucking two day game

[00:16:41] [SPEAKER_00]: no no but it's like max 30 hours so the only thing I'll say about superstar saga the final boss

[00:16:49] [SPEAKER_02]: sucks I don't remember he's I don't remember the rest of the game is great because I'm playing

[00:16:55] [SPEAKER_02]: on the switch so I do have like the rewind and I've been using that a little bit yeah just

[00:16:59] [SPEAKER_02]: you don't have to use it that much in that game the golden sun I was rewinding fucking

[00:17:03] [SPEAKER_00]: every other time yeah I beat the first golden sun a while ago great game love that fucking game

[00:17:10] [SPEAKER_02]: speaking of great games or the opposite mortal combat one chaos serenity what is going on Rachel

[00:17:17] [SPEAKER_02]: has been fucking watching she watched me play Mortal Kombat 9 all the way through Mortal Kombat 1

[00:17:21] [SPEAKER_02]: did you enjoy Mortal Kombat 1 watching me play that Rachel is the story isn't something's different

[00:17:30] [SPEAKER_03]: here chaos range right Baraka is my favorite okay so chaos rains I fucking love Baraka yeah

[00:17:38] [SPEAKER_03]: Baraka cool I love Baraka only in K1 Baraka that's my Mortal Kombat favorite

[00:17:45] [SPEAKER_00]: and that weirdo humane striker I just I don't know is it like a plane like like like the old like

[00:17:51] [SPEAKER_00]: like Mortal Kombat like Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 the fact is strikers oh fucking pee in that

[00:17:57] [SPEAKER_02]: game seriously but there's a lot of strong characters in Mortal Kombat 3 yeah that game was

[00:18:01] [SPEAKER_00]: for sure rip apart base MK3 is kind of eh you know it's like they were trying to change some

[00:18:08] [SPEAKER_00]: stuff around and not having scorpion or subzero was a weird choice and then Ultimate Mortal

[00:18:13] [SPEAKER_00]: Kombat 3 they kind of fixed everything and added in like a shit ton of characters yeah so yeah

[00:18:17] [SPEAKER_02]: and then broke a bunch of characters like I think that's the game with that broke Cabal the ultimate

[00:18:22] [SPEAKER_02]: version yep yeah he's completely broken in that game listen to go watch the fucking there are like

[00:18:28] [SPEAKER_02]: competitive tier list things for Mortal Kombat and like I think that those are so fascinating

[00:18:33] [SPEAKER_02]: because Mortal Kombat is just so so many of their games are just completely unbalanced

[00:18:38] [SPEAKER_00]: and it is oh yeah the greatest but I've always liked Mortal Kombat as a little kid like I've

[00:18:42] [SPEAKER_00]: played those games as a child but it wasn't because of like the fighting game aspect it was just that

[00:18:48] [SPEAKER_00]: like it was really brutally violent which is always cool but also I found the lore very fascinating

[00:18:53] [SPEAKER_00]: still to this day even though I still haven't played 10 11 or one I've played all the others

[00:18:58] [SPEAKER_00]: and love them to death but I have 10 11 I just need to sit down and play the story modes

[00:19:02] [SPEAKER_02]: you should they're not that long you I literally beat all of them in like one week I think

[00:19:07] [SPEAKER_00]: Rachel watched me pinch through them all yeah I need to because I did nine and nine because it was

[00:19:13] [SPEAKER_03]: like two and a half weeks of just Mortal Kombat every single day we watched the movie as well

[00:19:20] [SPEAKER_00]: that was what I just the first one yeah okay don't don't make her watch an isolation

[00:19:26] [SPEAKER_02]: I almost want to because she's like whatever no no no no no no I'm saving it for our punishment

[00:19:31] [SPEAKER_02]: because she knows I don't really like horror movies and she makes she wants to make me watch a horror

[00:19:35] [SPEAKER_02]: movie and so I'm like after that which one to watch Mortal Kombat and I don't know which one you're

[00:19:40] [SPEAKER_03]: gonna make them watch I don't want to make you watch if you had to make me watch a horror movie

[00:19:44] [SPEAKER_03]: which one would you make me watch um the pinata one no like I the pinata one is great it's super

[00:19:51] [SPEAKER_03]: silly but I would probably choose uh dead alive oh that that's a fun love that movie that's

[00:20:01] [SPEAKER_03]: so fucking funny it's crazy so ridiculous I adore that movie yeah I think did Peter Jackson direct

[00:20:08] [SPEAKER_00]: that yes he did yeah yeah like before Lord of the God day he was doing way back in the day it's

[00:20:14] [SPEAKER_00]: like one of the dead alive like it's it's one of those it's so over the top it completely

[00:20:19] [SPEAKER_03]: desensitizes you but it's awesome are you talking about brain dead yeah that's the title

[00:20:25] [SPEAKER_02]: yeah it's the same movie okay that was also getting mixed information on the internet I'm like

[00:20:29] [SPEAKER_00]: what the fuck I'm definitely gonna make him watch like one that's actually like scary no because that

[00:20:34] [SPEAKER_03]: would be lame he wouldn't care oh he doesn't react to that well he would just shit on it or

[00:20:40] [SPEAKER_03]: something I don't know it's not worth my time like if I were to choose like my like one of

[00:20:48] [SPEAKER_03]: the best horror movies that like in my opinion it would be hereditary but that's because that movie

[00:20:57] [SPEAKER_03]: like the director did such a fun I can talk about that movie for so fucking long

[00:21:03] [SPEAKER_03]: he's had to hear me talk about that movie before so that's enough for me I don't think I've seen

[00:21:09] [SPEAKER_03]: that one god I love that movie but no you gotta watch a few times so you can pick up on all of

[00:21:16] [SPEAKER_03]: like the foreshadowing and just like uh it's a it's a masterpiece look at this I'll add it to the list

[00:21:23] [SPEAKER_02]: here look at this I'm gonna put it in Rachel's games here I think this is concept art this looks cool

[00:21:29] [SPEAKER_02]: this looks like a video game where where are we looking at in the in the notes oh yeah yeah looks

[00:21:35] [SPEAKER_02]: cool I don't know what I'm looking at but I mean maybe Rachel knows what that is but

[00:21:40] [SPEAKER_03]: do a stick man help help Paul man or whatever it's uh it's a name is it's slender man when he takes the

[00:21:47] [SPEAKER_03]: suit off yeah exactly what it is actually I don't remember the entities name but he's got monkey

[00:21:56] [SPEAKER_00]: arms or long arms he's gonna stab a nine-year-old girl like five million times and somehow she didn't die

[00:22:03] [SPEAKER_03]: no the uh you should watch it if you like horror movies I do I do look horror and October's coming up

[00:22:12] [SPEAKER_02]: um yeah I want to play some scary games that's also why I'm trying to get through Visions of

[00:22:16] [SPEAKER_02]: Men because it is the opposite of horrors October like it is like the happiest sunshineiest game I've

[00:22:21] [SPEAKER_00]: ever played yeah my one spooky game I need I need to finally sit down and play at a silent hill too

[00:22:26] [SPEAKER_00]: like I need to sit down and play it all the way through I got it for the ogx box so I'm ready

[00:22:31] [SPEAKER_00]: to go that is so hopefully when I finish infinite that'll probably be the game I play next listen

[00:22:36] [SPEAKER_02]: to go play signal let's go play inscription go play curl country god Alan way to play anatomy

[00:22:43] [SPEAKER_00]: that's a that's an indie horror game I really like go look it up all those games here besides

[00:22:48] [SPEAKER_02]: all of my two or horror games also it's so fun uh yeah yeah anatomy it's like three bucks

[00:22:56] [SPEAKER_02]: it's a really cool game what was that new game also we're just naming games at this point

[00:23:00] [SPEAKER_02]: that that game I just bought that I'm gonna play Rachel what is it it's downloaded it's the

[00:23:05] [SPEAKER_02]: world war one um do you remember it's one word oh shit script conscript that's it go play that also

[00:23:16] [SPEAKER_02]: that game looks sick I don't know if it's good or not but it looks good um but what's not good

[00:23:20] [SPEAKER_02]: is mortal combat one chaos rains I don't know what's going on speaking of horror movies

[00:23:26] [SPEAKER_02]: I or not horror movies let's just say bad movies because this shit just stinks of marvel I don't know

[00:23:32] [SPEAKER_02]: what happened um but everything just it's bothering me those things that he like put in his chest all

[00:23:40] [SPEAKER_03]: I could think of was like the Thanos Scott the Thanos rings yeah so literally havoc is just

[00:23:45] [SPEAKER_02]: like Thanos uh the fucking the their sector they they they they right they gender swapped

[00:23:52] [SPEAKER_02]: the the robots which is fine but the sector is basically just like Wakanda forever it's very weird

[00:24:00] [SPEAKER_02]: and she even has the Wakanda African accent like it all everything just reminds me of a marvel

[00:24:05] [SPEAKER_02]: movie like every single character Johnny Cage is just a fucking Marvel character he literally name

[00:24:10] [SPEAKER_02]: drops a fucking movie he's like oh dude it's like the red wedding you know game of thrones

[00:24:15] [SPEAKER_02]: season three episode nine 15 minutes in and I'm like oh no like there's something to happen

[00:24:21] [SPEAKER_00]: out of character for Johnny Cage he was always a quippy kind of dude yeah it's not completely

[00:24:26] [SPEAKER_02]: out again so that was like the least when I saw that I was like okay this is probably the lamest

[00:24:30] [SPEAKER_02]: thing he's ever said I hated that more than anything but I didn't but I was like this is it's fine

[00:24:36] [SPEAKER_02]: and that's at the very beginning of the game but it also what's wrong is that everything

[00:24:40] [SPEAKER_02]: that's happened so far I was just immediately for a campaign about the lord of chaos I've

[00:24:45] [SPEAKER_02]: been able to predict every single thing that's about to happen all the way up like I'm like oh

[00:24:51] [SPEAKER_02]: they're about to they're about to make noob cybot and then I was like oh I'm gonna I don't know if I

[00:24:55] [SPEAKER_02]: don't spoil it but it's like noob cybot is a character that is getting really that got released

[00:25:00] [SPEAKER_02]: with the DLC so everyone knows noob cybots in the story but I am a fan favorite yeah he's

[00:25:05] [SPEAKER_02]: fucking sick by the way like I'm about I'm on the chapter where you play as him and I'm

[00:25:09] [SPEAKER_02]: about I haven't played him yet but I fought him once and he did the x-ray on me and his

[00:25:13] [SPEAKER_02]: fucking shadow they flipped me upside down in the shadows and his self kicked me in the neck

[00:25:18] [SPEAKER_02]: different directions it made me a fucking corkscrew it was sick uh but uh I think I'm going to like

[00:25:25] [SPEAKER_02]: noob cybot but I do not like this story something stinks here I really don't like it

[00:25:32] [SPEAKER_00]: could be when the brothers interfering too much yeah and that was why I was ready to

[00:25:36] [SPEAKER_02]: I was excited to ask Rachel if she liked the first Mortal Kombat like the normal

[00:25:41] [SPEAKER_02]: Mortal Kombat story because Rachel didn't seem to hate it but she is visibly not liking this one

[00:25:46] [SPEAKER_02]: along with me I don't know if I'm influencing her a little bit or not but I'm like just shitting on it

[00:25:51] [SPEAKER_02]: the whole time have I not been I just been staying I haven't even I'm even like walking

[00:25:54] [SPEAKER_03]: off and like I have the one who like made said Wakanda forever first so like no it is not your

[00:26:01] [SPEAKER_03]: influence it is like actually just I don't know it's a team effort it's a team effort to hate

[00:26:08] [SPEAKER_02]: this thing yeah it feels really fucking bizarre together which makes me sad because I do not like

[00:26:16] [SPEAKER_02]: shitting on Mortal Kombat it's like my favorite fighting series so it's a great series

[00:26:22] [SPEAKER_00]: I'll probably return for a little bit on episode one of these days.

[00:26:25] [SPEAKER_03]: Talked about Mortal Kombat so it's very clear you love Mortal Kombat.

[00:26:29] [SPEAKER_00]: Well, Dave, one of these days we should do like a Mortal Kombat lore video. Hell yeah,

[00:26:34] [SPEAKER_02]: I think because I have a fucking list you saw it Mortal Kombat's on there I need to put them all

[00:26:39] [SPEAKER_00]: on there honestly but oh yeah they give me reason to play them all again. I beat I think it was

[00:26:44] [SPEAKER_00]: early this year I got the arcade version of the original Mortal Kombat and played it on emulator

[00:26:49] [SPEAKER_02]: that game is fucking hard. Yeah dude I always am like I'll beat this and I'm like no I won't

[00:26:55] [SPEAKER_00]: I save stated the hell out or no well it's arcade so it was just like in free play

[00:27:00] [SPEAKER_00]: so I did eventually beat it but it took a long time.

[00:27:04] [SPEAKER_02]: Goro sucks. It wasn't even Goro was the problem it was Shang Tsung.

[00:27:08] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah Shang Tsung is really fucking good. Yeah because Goro once you kind of you can kind of figure

[00:27:13] [SPEAKER_00]: him out but it takes a lot of work to get there and I was sub-zero so you know I was just

[00:27:18] [SPEAKER_02]: sliding like a madman. Yeah if you Rachel have you thought that Mortal Kombat 9 made me mad?

[00:27:23] [SPEAKER_00]: Like flat dude. Yeah because I think that game it's difficulty is rooted in like it'll like predict

[00:27:29] [SPEAKER_02]: what you do. Yeah it literally is reading the keys that you're saying and it's like our instant

[00:27:33] [SPEAKER_00]: it can instantly react to what you like. It like AI learns what you're gonna do.

[00:27:39] [SPEAKER_02]: It's kind of like cheating. Well that was the games we were playing of what did everyone buy

[00:27:43] [SPEAKER_02]: besides Mortal Kombat whatever it is the DLC I bought the Final Fantasy Pixory Masters because

[00:27:50] [SPEAKER_02]: they released on Xbox. I didn't think this day was coming so now I've double-dipped. I knew this

[00:27:55] [SPEAKER_00]: day was coming the moment that Square was like we're gonna do multi-plat releases and Final Fantasy

[00:28:00] [SPEAKER_00]: 14 did really well on Xbox I'm like oh yeah the rest of them are coming it's just a matter of time.

[00:28:06] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh yeah well so I did predict this back then but like I meant like when this first came out

[00:28:11] [SPEAKER_02]: like on the switch in the PlayStation back then I was like I was like okay Square Enix is dead

[00:28:15] [SPEAKER_02]: to me I'll just buy it on the because I do want to play four so even even then I knew even then I

[00:28:20] [SPEAKER_00]: felt they were gonna put them on Xbox because it was like a why not because seven eight nine 10 12

[00:28:26] [SPEAKER_00]: 15 they're all on there so it's like crisis core yeah fucking type zero Dissidia like stranger

[00:28:33] [SPEAKER_00]: apparently you might as well fuck it yeah I literally have every single Final Fantasy game

[00:28:37] [SPEAKER_02]: that I have every single mainline Final Fantasy game downloadable on my Xbox right now

[00:28:42] [SPEAKER_00]: besides 16 and so I'm just waiting on that 16 will come I think I think it's just a matter of

[00:28:47] [SPEAKER_00]: they might I feel like they might wait till next year to do that one and then the seven remake stuff

[00:28:53] [SPEAKER_00]: I think they're gonna wait till they're done and then once they do the whole package they'll release

[00:28:58] [SPEAKER_02]: that on Xbox yeah it's probably not even their choice for like $150 because I bet if they were like

[00:29:03] [SPEAKER_02]: hey let's make more money like they would but I bet Sony's got some contract right now

[00:29:09] [SPEAKER_00]: I think that'll eventually go away because you know it didn't meet sales expectations because it

[00:29:14] [SPEAKER_00]: always does it's fucking square and square sucks I did buy something I saw that the Dark Souls remastered

[00:29:24] [SPEAKER_00]: was on sale for like 20 bucks right but then I would but then I was like wait a minute

[00:29:29] [SPEAKER_00]: not because I had seen like on Xbox they had like the physical trilogy like just what like

[00:29:34] [SPEAKER_00]: compilation right and I just went on eBay I was like what is that and someone was selling

[00:29:38] [SPEAKER_00]: it for 30 bucks so I was like yeah fuck it 30 bucks for all three games so I have all three Dark Souls now

[00:29:43] [SPEAKER_02]: fuck yeah dude they're pretty good I think we still need to do an episode on Dark Souls 2

[00:29:47] [SPEAKER_00]: I played the only time I played Dark Souls 1 was on the switch which was like the worst way to play

[00:29:53] [SPEAKER_00]: that game so I didn't get I got past the Taurus boss which is like what the second one that is a

[00:30:00] [SPEAKER_02]: difficulty spike yeah the Toros demon when you walk into that fucking closet

[00:30:06] [SPEAKER_00]: no it's like it's like when you're on the castle wall and there's like the two like spires oh yeah

[00:30:11] [SPEAKER_00]: that yeah yeah and everyone was telling me they're like oh what you do is you just run behind go up

[00:30:16] [SPEAKER_00]: and then when he gets there like jump down and hit him right so like I was setting that up I was

[00:30:21] [SPEAKER_00]: like all right here he goes and then he just just jumps right in front of me I'm like holy

[00:30:25] [SPEAKER_02]: shit but yeah yeah that is an interesting boss and it does teach you like to you look at your

[00:30:33] [SPEAKER_02]: environment during the boss fights even though it doesn't come up all the time but for sure

[00:30:37] [SPEAKER_00]: but I'll eventually go back and play I mean to be fair I've started Sekiro like two times

[00:30:42] [SPEAKER_00]: Sekiro is great but you know I find it hard to stick with these games because they're so difficult

[00:30:47] [SPEAKER_02]: for me yeah I definitely choose to play them co-op if I can it make those are really fun

[00:30:55] [SPEAKER_02]: co-op games and there it's it makes the difficulty funny suddenly for sure but one of

[00:31:00] [SPEAKER_00]: these days I'll just sit I'll just say fucking just do dark souls and be done with it

[00:31:04] [SPEAKER_02]: all right so for the pod updates we had we had a comment on our fucking Spotify thing but Spotify

[00:31:10] [SPEAKER_02]: for podcasters is not working right now and it wasn't working when I made fuck with the notes so

[00:31:15] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm actually just gonna go look I think I can just see it right and that how shit works yeah here

[00:31:21] [SPEAKER_02]: we go okay that's fucking annoying um so uh on the last episode 173 view of piñata

[00:31:28] [SPEAKER_02]: trouble and paradise alex orteez right since saying learning learning that the viva piñata show

[00:31:32] [SPEAKER_02]: was based on the game first is a wild thing to learn before the month is over I am I still don't

[00:31:40] [SPEAKER_02]: believe that I think that Aaron made that viva piñata show somehow with AI and then he that was a

[00:31:47] [SPEAKER_02]: whole bit yeah there was a piñata show he's been growing this bit for like 12 years

[00:31:53] [SPEAKER_03]: yeah there was a viva piñata show yeah it's crazy I totally forgot about that yeah it's so weird

[00:32:04] [SPEAKER_02]: they made a show but not like a third game I fits then that's also very sad I think that they probably

[00:32:11] [SPEAKER_00]: will eventually go back to it I mean we how many times have we said this with Microsoft and then

[00:32:16] [SPEAKER_00]: they don't fucking do it yeah I gotta we gotta keep living the dream yeah because viva piñata

[00:32:21] [SPEAKER_00]: is one of those series that like it was synonymous with xbox like I remember when the first one came

[00:32:26] [SPEAKER_00]: out on 360 like that was for some people that was like a marquee title for that console and the fact

[00:32:33] [SPEAKER_00]: they didn't stick with it past the sequel I found to be very interesting because people loved the

[00:32:38] [SPEAKER_00]: hell out of those games yeah they're not for me like those games don't do anything for me but

[00:32:42] [SPEAKER_00]: you know they're cute enough the sequel was what received also um also games it's just I just

[00:32:49] [SPEAKER_00]: those games bore the shit out of me I need to be like doing something you know there is a

[00:32:54] [SPEAKER_02]: fucking huge editing mistake in our last episode the viva piñata one where I edited in part of an

[00:33:01] [SPEAKER_02]: episode that we meet me and Rachel's like Aaron went to go piss on me and Rachel watched an episode

[00:33:05] [SPEAKER_02]: of that show and I edited in a bunch of stuff and then I must have deleted the track that the

[00:33:11] [SPEAKER_02]: fucking viva piñata episodes audio was on because there it is just 45 seconds of silence

[00:33:17] [SPEAKER_02]: and that's going this is pretty funny and then I went back to fix it and I was just like oh my god

[00:33:26] [SPEAKER_02]: and all we everyone's already heard it so it's too late I'm just like it's fine it'll that's just

[00:33:32] [SPEAKER_02]: how it is now I fucked it up but uh Philip's still gone I don't know we have no update on how

[00:33:37] [SPEAKER_02]: long it's gonna be till Phil comes back probably pretty soon because it's been about a month since

[00:34:32] [SPEAKER_00]: of course the vikings are blowing the fucking lead like I knew they would have the fucking

[00:34:36] [SPEAKER_02]: dammit yeah I feel I feel the energy changing for you how bad is it because they were at a 21

[00:34:42] [SPEAKER_00]: it was 21 it was 28 to 7 now it's 28 to 22 yeah who are they playing the packers

[00:34:48] [SPEAKER_00]: so division rivals oh shit well the vikings are 3 and 0 the like first three weeks they were

[00:34:53] [SPEAKER_00]: crushing and they were crushing again and now they've they've they've slipped man people really want

[00:35:00] [SPEAKER_00]: starfield to come to the ps5 for some fucking reason isn't it wild well because I saw this thing

[00:35:05] [SPEAKER_00]: where it's like somebody tried to post an article from like February seeing like dude look

[00:35:09] [SPEAKER_00]: they're gonna put starfield on PlayStation 5 it's like bro that was from like months ago

[00:35:13] [SPEAKER_00]: see everyone's chat on the game but now they want it to come to PlayStation which to me it's like

[00:35:18] [SPEAKER_00]: it's not the same energy you know yeah it's very weird I don't I don't get it either like

[00:35:23] [SPEAKER_02]: who fucking cares starfield is fine whatever I am excited for the dlc but there's so much

[00:35:29] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't know looks great but I and it's also about the fact the faction that I was most

[00:35:34] [SPEAKER_02]: interested in but also simultaneously had like the least amount of information for

[00:35:37] [SPEAKER_02]: because it's like basically the allume the religion rilluminati and I'm like that's pretty dope

[00:35:43] [SPEAKER_02]: I like think religion is cool think Illuminati school you can do a lot with that yeah I don't

[00:35:49] [SPEAKER_02]: know if I'm ever gonna get to it because I'm so fucking trapped I'm like stun locked by all

[00:35:53] [SPEAKER_00]: these fucking games yeah I've come to accept the fact that we'll never be able to play every

[00:35:59] [SPEAKER_00]: video game we want to before we die so yeah so just enjoy the ones that you get to play

[00:36:05] [SPEAKER_02]: I need to because I just want this fucking it's like I really like how many games are on this

[00:36:11] [SPEAKER_02]: tier list now but I also want a new tier list so I'm excited for next year oh you two of us all your

[00:36:16] [SPEAKER_02]: games yeah okay I try to know if I could do that it would be really hard to do if you did it all at

[00:36:26] [SPEAKER_02]: once I think it would take a long time but yeah game by game as I beat them it's not that bad

[00:36:31] [SPEAKER_00]: oh sure sure I mean there's an episode I don't know if you listen to the 3DO but there's an

[00:36:35] [SPEAKER_00]: episode of me and Bill ranked every game we had played up to that point which was quite a few games

[00:36:40] [SPEAKER_00]: but that was fun to do because it was like revisiting them there there's the little tier list

[00:36:45] [SPEAKER_02]: oh you played Red Dead 2 the first time this year no a lot of these are replays okay this was

[00:36:51] [SPEAKER_02]: like the year of going back and playing good games again yeah see I wouldn't put Red Dead 2 at

[00:36:56] [SPEAKER_00]: the top of the S's I find that game very overrated I think I don't know I think it just depends on

[00:37:02] [SPEAKER_00]: how immersed you get kind of like BioShock it's a good game but I just preferred one I thought one

[00:37:08] [SPEAKER_03]: was just the better story Red Dead 2 is just horse riding simulator I could play Barbie

[00:37:13] [SPEAKER_00]: I mean in that regard yeah like I was impressed with like the detail and the realism and all

[00:37:19] [SPEAKER_00]: of that but I felt like the story just didn't hit for me like I just didn't like Arthur as much

[00:37:24] [SPEAKER_00]: as uh is Marston oh that's so crazy I love Arthur so much Arthur's cool but I just I I love John

[00:37:31] [SPEAKER_00]: Marston's character like I fell in love with him on the first Red Dead like Red Dead Redemption

[00:37:35] [SPEAKER_00]: is probably my favorite rockstar game like it's that fucking good that's I mean it makes sense I

[00:37:39] [SPEAKER_02]: held already R1 in a much higher regard in my brain and whenever I replayed this year I still

[00:37:46] [SPEAKER_02]: liked it a lot but it was like it just hasn't aged well gameplay wise so like a third of the

[00:37:51] [SPEAKER_02]: I was playing the game I was just frustrated because it's like old because it's like if I go back and

[00:37:55] [SPEAKER_02]: play San Andreas I don't think I in my brain I got S tier and then I play San Andreas now I probably

[00:38:01] [SPEAKER_00]: oh god okay yeah I love the characters yeah that's the thing a lot of rockstar games gameplay wise

[00:38:07] [SPEAKER_00]: have not aged so again one of their games that aged better than I expected was bully

[00:38:12] [SPEAKER_02]: bully yeah bullies sick because I think it's because bully is mostly melee it's like a yeah

[00:38:18] [SPEAKER_00]: it forces them to be more creative because it's not like emrated which is what I liked about it

[00:38:23] [SPEAKER_00]: so you should go back and play LA noir I was thinking about that like when we were talking

[00:38:28] [SPEAKER_00]: about light noir last time like yeah like physical xbox copies are cheap and I'm like if I went

[00:38:33] [SPEAKER_00]: back and played it I'd probably just grab all the achievements it's it's surprising how much

[00:38:39] [SPEAKER_00]: I've beaten that game like three times that was the game a lot out of all the rockstar games

[00:38:45] [SPEAKER_02]: I've played this year which is like four I think that one is the one where I had the lowest

[00:38:49] [SPEAKER_02]: expectations because it was just a meme as a kid I was like I didn't give a fuck about

[00:38:53] [SPEAKER_02]: all you never played it before no I play I did play it but like I beat it and I didn't

[00:38:58] [SPEAKER_02]: retain any I remember do you fuck little boys Martinez or whatever and and all that stuff

[00:39:05] [SPEAKER_02]: that's all I remember yeah replaying as an adult I'm just like it's like open my third eye

[00:39:10] [SPEAKER_00]: I'm like oh my this game is so good it's so I wish I wish there was a way that game would

[00:39:16] [SPEAKER_00]: like let you fail and keep going you know but it was probably just technology of the time

[00:39:22] [SPEAKER_00]: and also like Cole is like he's kind of a shitty you know yeah he like she's on his wife and stuff

[00:39:30] [SPEAKER_00]: yeah it's he's a very complicated character but you know and I think it's so funny too because

[00:39:36] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't I didn't remember that at all when I played it this most recent time and so I saw that

[00:39:40] [SPEAKER_02]: chick and I was like oh yeah I'm gonna go fuck us a prostitute and then like he did and I was like

[00:39:45] [SPEAKER_00]: who is your who is your favorite um like partner he had I love the bad guy the vice guy

[00:39:53] [SPEAKER_02]: like vice yeah I hate him so much but like like I don't know why but he's just so bad and like

[00:39:59] [SPEAKER_02]: he derails Cole's life so bad that I'm like he's just perfect and then he fucking he fucking at the end

[00:40:06] [SPEAKER_02]: as that speech I hate him so much I hate him so much he's so good yeah yeah see I liked um

[00:40:14] [SPEAKER_00]: ah what was his name rusty on the homicide desk oh yeah the fucking deadbeat like yeah but you're

[00:40:21] [SPEAKER_02]: slowly making him believe I like that's a good game fuck I will play it now it is very good

[00:40:27] [SPEAKER_00]: the remaster is pretty deice oh yeah I like I beat it once on 360 and then like twice on ps3

[00:40:33] [SPEAKER_00]: so I've or no once on ps3 then once on ps4 so I have not played it on my modern xbox account but

[00:40:39] [SPEAKER_00]: I should it's not on sale otherwise I would have bought it but did you see I think you did I think

[00:40:44] [SPEAKER_02]: you saw you like it on on one of my things but I posted that fucking Japanese warrior crying on

[00:40:50] [SPEAKER_00]: yeah I saw that I saw that yeah a little bit ago Rachel did I show you this he went hard holy shit

[00:41:07] [SPEAKER_02]: it's amazing like I it's pretty funny I can I was like I want to know the thought process behind

[00:41:13] [SPEAKER_02]: what made the guy who figured that out like do that but also at the same time I can understand

[00:41:18] [SPEAKER_02]: like being sarcastic like oh I wonder what how you translate crying into Japanese and then

[00:41:23] [SPEAKER_02]: switching it just sarcastically and then hearing that and be like holy shit this is fucking awesome

[00:41:29] [SPEAKER_00]: there's a few games that are like English mainly that the Japanese voiceovers are pretty insane

[00:41:35] [SPEAKER_02]: they go hard on the paint sometimes make sure I love them all right uh so it is the am I the

[00:41:41] [SPEAKER_02]: asshole time we go under reddit the am I the asshole am I the butt face all that kind of stuff

[00:41:45] [SPEAKER_02]: people venting to see if they are bad people or not or if other people are bad people

[00:41:50] [SPEAKER_00]: so I think Thrac already has one yes yes the am I the asshole for looking at a video game skin

[00:41:56] [SPEAKER_00]: with a large behind making my wife matter insecure do you remember which number that is it is number two

[00:42:06] [SPEAKER_02]: a five it's the one that says warframe oh we already this one okay so oh you guys are great out

[00:42:13] [SPEAKER_02]: the great out ones are already done we can read it again if you want no no I'll pick a different

[00:42:18] [SPEAKER_00]: one let's see it was like this sounds very familiar hold on no no let me let me find a different one

[00:42:24] [SPEAKER_00]: oh this is a good one am I the asshole no space because my husband won't stop collecting Legos

[00:42:31] [SPEAKER_00]: okay this one all right seven right it's a short it's a short one so let me agree this out also

[00:42:38] [SPEAKER_02]: let's see if it's a throw away or not turbulent count 825 seems like a throw away name yeah I think it is

[00:42:45] [SPEAKER_02]: well I mean they have two posts now my boss middle school or principal keeps using religious

[00:42:50] [SPEAKER_02]: phrases so I guess they don't like that it just like makes me think of the time whenever I worked at

[00:42:57] [SPEAKER_03]: Lowe's I had a dude like I helped him get I don't fucking know a rug or something and took it out

[00:43:03] [SPEAKER_03]: to his car and he like grabs me by the hands and he's like thank you and then he looks me in

[00:43:09] [SPEAKER_03]: the eyes like Jesus loves you that guy was fucking with you he was old yeah he was fucking with you

[00:43:21] [SPEAKER_02]: dude I would love to be all they just do things without any punishment well that's the thing

[00:43:26] [SPEAKER_00]: some old people genuinely believe that shit though people look at me though no people look at me and

[00:43:33] [SPEAKER_03]: they're like she needs God it's the colored hair that happens to me too sometimes the nose ring oh yeah

[00:43:41] [SPEAKER_00]: yeah they think the devil is taking over they do they truly I just look like a hippie and so people

[00:43:47] [SPEAKER_02]: will be like well we also live in the south so I mean it's not uncommon for people like all right

[00:43:52] [SPEAKER_02]: I have a blessed day and I'm just like you too it's fine I don't mind it but see see the job I

[00:43:57] [SPEAKER_00]: used to work at the one I was gonna go to today like people have a habit of taking like

[00:44:02] [SPEAKER_00]: random religious like pamphlets and just laying them on shelves so we used to have like a game where

[00:44:07] [SPEAKER_00]: we would collect them you know where it was like oh you know this thing and it's like all magic cards

[00:44:12] [SPEAKER_03]: I love finding like the anti-abortion cards like that have like a fetus that's been like ripped out

[00:44:18] [SPEAKER_03]: of someone's body just like on my pants while I'm trying to buy them yep they're just like

[00:44:25] [SPEAKER_03]: you need to see this you have a period on the tampon because because it's like by that logic

[00:44:30] [SPEAKER_03]: any woman who's had more than one period is a serial killer yeah because I didn't like let the fetus be

[00:44:35] [SPEAKER_01]: there you know so I don't think about this shit at all speaking of abortions let's get back to

[00:44:47] [SPEAKER_00]: Legos all right so when COVID hit my husband and I started new hobbies I started building puzzles

[00:44:53] [SPEAKER_00]: and he started building buying and collecting Star Wars Lego as the pandemic continued I lost

[00:44:59] [SPEAKER_00]: interested and got rid of my puzzles but my husband's new hobby took off four years later he has an

[00:45:05] [SPEAKER_00]: entire office from floor to ceiling for his Star Wars Lego sets of course they're Star Wars why does it

[00:45:11] [SPEAKER_02]: have to be Star Wars it's always Star Wars I mean I understand I want to build the fucking Millennium

[00:45:17] [SPEAKER_02]: Falcon I do want to build that that's like a classic Lego set right it is people who have the

[00:45:22] [SPEAKER_03]: Star Wars and they have all the ships just like hanging from their ceiling it's like I don't

[00:45:29] [SPEAKER_00]: know what Star Wars but this is like too far guys come on so where was I yeah to make things worse he

[00:45:34] [SPEAKER_00]: has taken up a huge storage space in the garage for his Lego oh my god he had some stored in our closet

[00:45:40] [SPEAKER_00]: in the laundry room in my son's nursery even in my stepson's room I asked him to please remove them

[00:45:47] [SPEAKER_02]: from those rooms especially the nursery dude like the fuck kid will eat one imagine you as a child

[00:45:54] [SPEAKER_00]: you have like a Lego mobile your crib's made of Lego that is just a claymore basically waiting to

[00:46:01] [SPEAKER_00]: explode and you destroy your kid yeah but my problem is that the office was supposed to be for us I

[00:46:07] [SPEAKER_00]: don't have any space to work besides the kitchen noises and the master closet crowded or in my

[00:46:12] [SPEAKER_00]: bedroom not good for my sleep I want him to stop buying Legos I want him to prioritize my need

[00:46:16] [SPEAKER_00]: space over his wants he won't stop buying Lego just imagine like compulsively on eBay just like

[00:46:26] [SPEAKER_00]: oh I don't have this one I don't have this one we live in a 3000 square foot house yet it feels

[00:46:33] [SPEAKER_00]: so small Jesus Christ dude so am I the asshole for wanting to have space to for asking him to

[00:46:38] [SPEAKER_00]: downsize his collection his Lego sets are everywhere and I just want a quiet space to work or

[00:46:43] [SPEAKER_00]: read he gets upset when I ask him to please stop buying Star Wars Lego he makes excuses he says I'm

[00:46:48] [SPEAKER_00]: being controlling just to see how not having space in the house is affecting me what in the fuck dude

[00:46:56] [SPEAKER_02]: sounds like she's holding him back literally you can't be at full power okay but what if he built

[00:47:02] [SPEAKER_03]: them a new bigger house a Lego wing just build a new room with your Legos literally just like a leg

[00:47:13] [SPEAKER_00]: onto that a Lego room for Legos that's very meta but but like the first comment is like the first

[00:47:20] [SPEAKER_00]: thing I thought it was they said I'm more concerned with how much money he's spending which

[00:47:24] [SPEAKER_03]: honestly yeah like Legos aren't cheap at all they're obviously fine if they have a 3000 square foot

[00:47:32] [SPEAKER_00]: house that you know I mean there's a chance they have like a mortgage to pay on that thing and I

[00:47:37] [SPEAKER_00]: bet you that mortgage in cheap you know somebody went and they got two kids somebody went and

[00:47:42] [SPEAKER_02]: pulled up the fucking receipts the vindicator attack class cruiser $650 tie interceptor 230

[00:47:49] [SPEAKER_02]: R2D 299 AT AT at for 850 AT&T yeah that's what I wanted to say yeah maybe she could just like

[00:48:00] [SPEAKER_03]: start playing the Sims and she could build their house and make it the way she wants it and then

[00:48:05] [SPEAKER_03]: just like go there and whenever she needs some alone time she said she needs a quiet space

[00:48:12] [SPEAKER_03]: to work or read are the Legos like screaming I mean with how colorful they can be they can be

[00:48:19] [SPEAKER_02]: they like voice at they've like a sound activated they make blaster sounds you know it's just like a

[00:48:23] [SPEAKER_00]: halloween decoration or he secretly or he secretly has like one of those Mario Legos because

[00:48:33] [SPEAKER_00]: like the Mario pieces they talk like the little mario's or whatever just don't know

[00:48:40] [SPEAKER_02]: the OP left a few comments one of them says he doesn't normally pay full price for the Legos

[00:48:45] [SPEAKER_02]: he hunts for lower prices on offer up marketplace yard sales these are secondhand Legos like out

[00:48:51] [SPEAKER_02]: of their coupon hunts there's some stinky ass Legos yeah so with snot and all that other stuff

[00:48:56] [SPEAKER_00]: all kind of because he's buying them from like kids who grew out of them that's exactly what he's

[00:49:00] [SPEAKER_03]: doing this also just reminds me of one of my best friends she her house is just a full of

[00:49:07] [SPEAKER_03]: hello kitty her husband doesn't care but literally everywhere it's hello kitty like her bathroom

[00:49:13] [SPEAKER_03]: it's a hello kitty mirror shower her kitchen and the plates are hello kitty everything is

[00:49:20] [SPEAKER_00]: hello kitty but I'm sure it doesn't like take up space in the entire house though oh no it's

[00:49:25] [SPEAKER_02]: everywhere no but I mean like like their plates right you're gonna put half plates regardless

[00:49:30] [SPEAKER_00]: yeah like it's one thing if your normal decor is that it's another if it's like

[00:49:33] [SPEAKER_00]: you go into like her room and like the rooms in the house and like half of it is just like

[00:49:38] [SPEAKER_00]: hello kitty like stuffed animals I'd be like what the fuck are you doing it is both oh it is

[00:49:43] [SPEAKER_03]: stuffed animals it's figurines it's a I never got I never had some figures in there now I never

[00:49:50] [SPEAKER_03]: understood hello kitty she's had to actually I think she rented a storage unit to store

[00:49:56] [SPEAKER_03]: some of her merchandise that's it is so much she sent me pictures of her room while she's

[00:50:04] [SPEAKER_03]: reorganizing and it will just be like half of the room is just full of stuffed animals and figurines

[00:50:11] [SPEAKER_00]: that is ridiculous that's wild I mean well like like I love dragon quest right like I don't know if

[00:50:18] [SPEAKER_00]: you could see it behind me but I have like a whole mural of dragon quest over here right but it's

[00:50:22] [SPEAKER_00]: just like one little section of my room right like if my whole house was dragon quest I

[00:50:27] [SPEAKER_02]: it'd be like be worried about me I need anything that takes it absorbs your entire personality and

[00:50:33] [SPEAKER_02]: lifestyle that is something that you should probably distance you need to get a distance

[00:50:39] [SPEAKER_02]: that person from like you gotta start fixing it again I don't think she's an asshole because

[00:50:43] [SPEAKER_00]: it sounds like she's just wanting to get her shit done and her husband just can't like stop

[00:50:47] [SPEAKER_00]: obsessing over this hobby that he's just becoming fanalized with that's it it's one thing to

[00:50:52] [SPEAKER_00]: have a hobby but it's one it's another to get this crazy about it yes another comment here it says I

[00:50:59] [SPEAKER_02]: just hate them I need yada yada yada so this part here is the most like are they in financially

[00:51:03] [SPEAKER_02]: trouble I don't think so it was says they've got two kids two kids live with them their mom her mom

[00:51:10] [SPEAKER_02]: lives with them they have four dogs and two cats that's like a fucking million people and there's

[00:51:17] [SPEAKER_00]: Legos everywhere that is too much you know like Legos are fine but

[00:51:24] [SPEAKER_00]: I don't know so I don't think she's an asshole I don't I just think her husband's a bit of a

[00:51:35] [SPEAKER_02]: hoarder there's another comment right here so this is all the comments from her but it says

[00:51:39] [SPEAKER_02]: I even brought up that it stresses me out because if one day God forbid he dies I'm left with all

[00:51:44] [SPEAKER_00]: these Legos well then she would have like the biggest Lego sale of all time yeah it's second hand

[00:51:53] [SPEAKER_02]: third hand market you know yeah so this sounds heinous I don't like it cut it out slap him on the hand

[00:52:02] [SPEAKER_00]: yeah he's not the asshole he is especially they're all Star Wars Legos like bro there's

[00:52:06] [SPEAKER_00]: like so many Lego series like why are you just sticking to one dude their sonic Legos are cool

[00:52:11] [SPEAKER_00]: like the Minecraft Legos the Mario Legos the Halo Mega blocks

[00:52:19] [SPEAKER_02]: the Call of Duty Mega blocks makes sense that Microsoft Microsoft's been been trying to buy

[00:52:26] [SPEAKER_02]: Call of Duty for a long time they're gonna buy Mega blocks next yeah and then have a Mega blocks

[00:52:30] [SPEAKER_02]: video game I think there is a Mega blocks video game there probably is I saw a rumor the other

[00:52:35] [SPEAKER_00]: day that people said like oh like Microsoft was gonna buy all of like Warner Brothers like

[00:52:39] [SPEAKER_00]: gaming division and I'm like no the fuck they're not I just like to imagine her husband sitting in

[00:52:44] [SPEAKER_03]: like a Lego throne with like a Lego chalice uh just playing Lego fortnight oh yeah he's absolutely

[00:52:53] [SPEAKER_02]: playing Lego fortnight oh my god look at this look at this Halo Mega blocks video game it looks

[00:53:01] [SPEAKER_02]: like I don't know if this is real or not am I getting it no it was it was in the works but

[00:53:06] [SPEAKER_00]: canceled I would play this unironically look at it like I think the idea was that picture was from

[00:53:13] [SPEAKER_00]: that I sent you the other day what picture yeah you know that game was in development I think it

[00:53:18] [SPEAKER_00]: was during the 360 days and then like a um like a prototype of it got leaked or whatever a while ago

[00:53:26] [SPEAKER_00]: and yeah it was meant to be like a like a third person shooter like almost kind of a Lego game

[00:53:31] [SPEAKER_00]: but Halo right yeah instead we got a Halo TV show yeah I can't remember when this

[00:53:40] [SPEAKER_00]: yeah oh they're playing in the Zenyam you know so I think it's during the 360 days yeah

[00:53:44] [SPEAKER_00]: honestly I think this would have been a bit of a hit like genuinely

[00:53:49] [SPEAKER_02]: yeah we'll never know yeah we'll never know I'm fucking fortunately Rachel that is

[00:53:57] not

[00:53:58] [SPEAKER_02]: this is so dumb hold on I gotta put this in the notes now under the MA I saw

[00:54:03] [SPEAKER_03]: we caught is that just like a screen grab from this

[00:54:08] [SPEAKER_02]: no that is not a screen grab from this

[00:57:13] [SPEAKER_03]: old 27 female started writing a book a little over a year ago when I was a kid I dreamed of

[00:57:20] [SPEAKER_03]: writing books my mental illness kind of took over for a long time but I finally got back into it

[00:57:27] [SPEAKER_02]: after reading about the alcohol is well hold on one thing too is it is it I dreamed of writing

[00:57:35] [SPEAKER_02]: books or I dreamt of writing books I dreamed of writing books what I'm saying I mean yeah I'm just

[00:57:41] [SPEAKER_00]: asking you which is the correct one yeah are we already dramatic she's a writer she should know this

[00:57:49] [SPEAKER_03]: dreamed well it's a fantasy roman roman amazing yeah that's great it was the

[00:57:57] [SPEAKER_02]: fucking that filter again the robot one yeah it just appeared

[00:58:07] [SPEAKER_02]: shami didn't record it I would love to know that it fucking it was great and it's not

[00:58:12] [SPEAKER_00]: never no one's gonna ever hear it unfortunately no sorry about that so is it dreamed or dreamt I

[00:58:18] [SPEAKER_02]: don't know it's it's both they're both correct I don't know when editing I don't know when the

[00:58:23] [SPEAKER_02]: recording stopped we're back something yeah sorry I fucked up but they are dreaming of writing in

[00:58:32] [SPEAKER_03]: their mental illness to go over Rachel all right it's a fantasy romance novel I'm on my third round

[00:58:39] [SPEAKER_03]: of edits so the manuscript is complete my husband 28 male refuses to read it I'm not asking him

[00:58:48] [SPEAKER_03]: to read it quickly but it would mean a lot to be able to talk to him about plot specific things

[00:58:55] [SPEAKER_03]: right now whenever I talk about the book he'll make suggestions that would

[00:59:00] [SPEAKER_03]: that just would not work story wise it's frustrating because a the manuscript is complete

[00:59:07] [SPEAKER_03]: trying to add new plot points would require me to completely rework it and b he would know

[00:59:15] [SPEAKER_03]: the suggestions he's making wouldn't work if he would read it he just uses the excuse I'm not a reader

[00:59:24] [SPEAKER_03]: but for me it hurts because I really put my heart and soul into this manuscript I'm so proud of it

[00:59:31] [SPEAKER_03]: and I just want my favorite person to care enough about that to push past the fact that

[00:59:36] [SPEAKER_03]: he doesn't care to read so he can see how hard I've worked on it

[00:59:44] [SPEAKER_00]: okay we're doing this again well does she have anyone else in her life who can actually like

[00:59:49] [SPEAKER_00]: read it she's an alcoholic the people in her life want to go out club hey empty bourbon bottle

[00:59:57] [SPEAKER_03]: won't you push them all away or they don't read either that makes sense if she really wanted him to

[01:00:05] [SPEAKER_02]: I think that and this is kind of a little outside the box but I think that if she really wanted him to

[01:00:10] [SPEAKER_02]: like be involved in this she should just record herself reading the manuscript and then give him

[01:00:16] [SPEAKER_02]: that recording so that he can listen to it give him an audiobook yeah make an audiobook for him I

[01:00:21] [SPEAKER_02]: think that that's probably a good idea that coming from the podcaster of course it's not that hard

[01:00:26] [SPEAKER_02]: she can do it um I don't know you if you're gonna do something as a hobby or some or like

[01:00:33] [SPEAKER_02]: you don't you can't just expect people to engage with the things that you like on the same level

[01:00:38] [SPEAKER_02]: that you like them I think we talked about this quite a bit the last few weeks this one's kind of

[01:00:44] [SPEAKER_02]: falling in that um but also if you're asking for you're doing edits right I think that it's even

[01:00:55] [SPEAKER_02]: if he doesn't even if he hasn't read the thing I think that being able to get ideas from

[01:01:00] [SPEAKER_02]: letter like kind of outside of your own headspace is probably a good thing your manuscript is complete

[01:01:05] [SPEAKER_02]: like you I don't think that you should like be like this is the perfect version like you're editing

[01:01:13] [SPEAKER_02]: it right so you can still kind of like work around things or or add things that are good or bad

[01:01:18] [SPEAKER_02]: like I don't I don't know how making a book works but I don't think it would be that difficult

[01:01:23] [SPEAKER_02]: like is she actually did she send it off to a fucking publishing company and like that's it

[01:01:28] [SPEAKER_00]: I mean it well you can self publish these days especially on like Amazon like it's very easy to

[01:01:33] [SPEAKER_00]: self publish these days it depends on what she wants to do as far as like if she wants to be a

[01:01:38] [SPEAKER_00]: legitimate writer or if she has you know the ability to send it off to a publisher or not

[01:01:42] [SPEAKER_00]: but I think I think it's just yeah more that she wants like you know the person that she married

[01:01:47] [SPEAKER_00]: to like just look at this like thing that she's doing and I feel like it wouldn't be that hard

[01:01:52] [SPEAKER_00]: to like say you know if I was dating somebody and they're like hey I'm working on like this

[01:01:56] [SPEAKER_00]: project you know can you look at it and just be like yeah I'll look at it why not you know

[01:02:00] [SPEAKER_00]: but like you could at least go in there where it's like hey I'm not like well versed in this so I

[01:02:05] [SPEAKER_00]: can't like give you like strong feedback or like expert feedback but I could at least tell you

[01:02:10] [SPEAKER_00]: my opinion you know I feel like that's not that's not a hard thing to do you know I really don't

[01:02:17] [SPEAKER_02]: I think that the thing that's kind of confusing is that she's asking for like advice on the

[01:02:23] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't know it would be like me going hey Rachel uh how do you think I could improve my editing

[01:02:30] [SPEAKER_02]: you know and it's like she might be able to like give a vague idea of like maybe there are too many

[01:02:37] [SPEAKER_02]: pauses and I don't like when there's no sound happening or you know like something like that

[01:02:42] [SPEAKER_02]: but it's also like she doesn't really know she's not like as she ingratiated podcaster

[01:02:47] [SPEAKER_02]: and so she would she could give me like some like surface level stuff but like if you were

[01:02:53] [SPEAKER_02]: reading this book it's like I don't like fantasy romance so I don't know

[01:02:58] [SPEAKER_03]: at all he doesn't like reading so he definitely doesn't like fantasy romance and like fantasy

[01:03:05] [SPEAKER_03]: romance is just one of the worst forms of course that's what she's writing it feels like

[01:03:15] [SPEAKER_03]: like yeah it just sucks

[01:03:20] [SPEAKER_03]: man I've never read one and it's been good I've never like finished a fantasy romance novel I've

[01:03:26] [SPEAKER_02]: been like man that was worth my time that's the thing it's like just make a good fantasy

[01:03:31] [SPEAKER_02]: book and and add a romance in it but don't make the whole thing about romance because then like

[01:03:37] [SPEAKER_02]: what else are you wouldn't be out there to engage with I'm literally assuming that it's

[01:03:41] [SPEAKER_03]: one of those horny books yeah it's just like my repressed sexuality alpha is trying to breed me

[01:03:50] [SPEAKER_03]: that's that's what I think of whenever I think of like fantasy romance so that was hard to listen to

[01:03:55] [SPEAKER_02]: that was difficult um you got the edits here though all right so edit

[01:04:04] [SPEAKER_03]: uh gosh why did she do it like this yeah the fucking this is why she's on the third round of

[01:04:11] [SPEAKER_02]: editing too because the second edit is at the top and then the first edit is in the middle

[01:04:15] [SPEAKER_03]: it's so annoying the first edit goodness this has been quite the thread I feel like a lot of

[01:04:22] [SPEAKER_03]: the hostility is unwarranted but I've accepted that I'm over that I've overreacted a bit

[01:04:28] [SPEAKER_03]: going to discuss it with my partner when he wakes up thank you to everyone who was

[01:04:34] [SPEAKER_02]: that is not she is going to get them

[01:04:41] [SPEAKER_03]: since this is still popping off for some reason my husband and I spoke and I apologize please stop

[01:04:48] [SPEAKER_03]: telling me I'm needy and terrible it's not necessary and while I appreciate everyone's

[01:04:54] [SPEAKER_03]: willingness to read my manuscript the point of him reading it wasn't for feedback

[01:04:59] [SPEAKER_03]: I'm mid edits right now so it'd be so it going to be a while before I end up needing more beta

[01:05:10] [SPEAKER_00]: readers so she's more she wants him to read it she wants him to read it be just because

[01:05:16] [SPEAKER_00]: that she's working on it not so much that like you know she wants his opinion

[01:05:23] [SPEAKER_03]: yeah she doesn't care what he has to say she just wants him to have it in his mind

[01:05:27] [SPEAKER_00]: she just wants him she just wants him to read and be like oh I love it's great

[01:05:30] [SPEAKER_00]: yeah which I feel like is easy to do you just yes dear it and you're good

[01:05:35] [SPEAKER_02]: yeah I mean but it's also like there one thing that's important is that like there's the if

[01:05:40] [SPEAKER_02]: you have a temperament that's like I I have this temperament this is why I'm bringing it up

[01:05:46] [SPEAKER_02]: if something is if something is fake like I if and I notice it it's gonna make me feel bad

[01:05:54] [SPEAKER_02]: like no matter what so if I feel like I'm getting yes dear I'm just gonna be like oh you don't care

[01:05:59] [SPEAKER_02]: at all so never mind I shouldn't have even brought it up and then that's that's what I'll do

[01:06:04] [SPEAKER_02]: and I have to fight that all the time for everyone I'll do that to anyone doing anything

[01:06:09] [SPEAKER_02]: is there saying anything that's me like two days ago yeah it's it's difficult but um if you do that

[01:06:16] [SPEAKER_02]: then you don't want to do it outwardly to other people too so it's like I don't want people I don't

[01:06:21] [SPEAKER_02]: want someone to be like hey look at this and I'll be like oh yeah that's cool I don't want to

[01:06:25] [SPEAKER_02]: ever do that to someone because that was my whole childhood so it's like I kind of understand the

[01:06:30] [SPEAKER_02]: idea of like I don't know anything about reading or fantasy romance so why would you want my

[01:06:35] [SPEAKER_02]: opinion on this at all but it does feel bad if you're doing something and someone just doesn't

[01:06:41] [SPEAKER_02]: care if it feels like if Rachel was like hey this podcast thing I just don't give a shit

[01:06:46] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't think she would listen to it and that's totally fine I don't think that she needs to

[01:06:50] [SPEAKER_02]: listen to it um if she was actively against it that would be a different thing he isn't

[01:06:55] [SPEAKER_02]: actively against her writing a book he is just like I don't know how to engage with this

[01:07:00] [SPEAKER_02]: because I don't ever engage with reading yeah yeah I actually listened to the podcast

[01:07:04] [SPEAKER_03]: more before I started being on it and now I just don't that makes sense I can't yeah I don't I don't

[01:07:11] [SPEAKER_00]: listen to 3d0 at all because like it's like I'm on the podcast why would I listen to it

[01:07:16] [SPEAKER_02]: yeah it's difficult for me to listen to the back the reason why I listen to the show afterwards

[01:07:21] [SPEAKER_02]: is to make sure that there aren't editing mistakes which is funny because I didn't listen

[01:07:24] [SPEAKER_02]: to last week's episode and there was a giant editing mistake so now I'm like gonna be hyper paranoid

[01:07:30] [SPEAKER_02]: god damn it um anyways uh I don't think she is like a horrible person for this but I

[01:07:37] [SPEAKER_00]: judging from her account she has some demons yeah so I think it's like this is something that she's

[01:07:44] [SPEAKER_00]: just trying to hold on to to give her like something that isn't just like drinking and playing

[01:07:48] [SPEAKER_00]: astro bot and I think she's just a little distraught that like her husband is not like completely

[01:07:56] [SPEAKER_00]: invested in it or maybe he's not like supporting her enough I mean we're not sure like it could

[01:08:01] [SPEAKER_00]: be a case of like he's not a big reader but he's just like yeah write your book go for it you know

[01:08:06] [SPEAKER_00]: which might not be enough or might not be what she wants per se but I feel like he's not he's

[01:08:12] [SPEAKER_00]: not trying to sabotage it so I don't think you know I don't think it's a bad situation I just

[01:08:16] [SPEAKER_00]: think I just think she's kind of struggling with her own shit and is just kind of putting

[01:08:20] [SPEAKER_00]: a little bit too much on the book you know she is all over these comments

[01:08:30] [SPEAKER_03]: yeah he could try a little bit harder I don't think she could make it easier for him to do that as well

[01:08:36] [SPEAKER_00]: sure sure like maybe she she should be like just read the first chapter it's all he got

[01:08:41] [SPEAKER_03]: to read like just you know just a little bit yeah yeah I hope she's not like shoving the

[01:08:48] [SPEAKER_00]: manuscript in his face being like read this whole thing by tomorrow it's like also who wants to

[01:08:52] [SPEAKER_03]: read a manuscript like finish it and then like ask him hey so I finished this novel it is complete

[01:09:02] [SPEAKER_03]: no changes are allowed to happen in it yeah would you you know well I'm curious to what he's

[01:09:10] [SPEAKER_00]: suggesting as far as like adding stuff I'm curious to that

[01:09:15] [SPEAKER_02]: maybe there maybe a tree comes to life and then that becomes a love triangle and the now the werewolf

[01:09:23] [SPEAKER_03]: has to prove his worth werewolf yeah because the alpha werewolf wants to breathe I don't want to hear it

[01:09:35] [SPEAKER_03]: oh god but then there's also a fairy that wants to breed her as well yeah it's a whole harem I

[01:09:42] [SPEAKER_03]: gotta go burn everyone just wants to breed hers the whole plot I have I have that shirt with

[01:09:49] [SPEAKER_00]: the wolf howling at the morning I gotta burn that always like grosses me out like you yeah

[01:09:54] [SPEAKER_02]: terrible terrible verbiage makes me want to die this person's not an asshole

[01:10:01] [SPEAKER_00]: I don't know she might be slightly overreacting but not like a lot but I also wonder gosh I wish

[01:10:09] [SPEAKER_03]: that I didn't know she was an alcoholic because I have been around alcoholics and I have seen them

[01:10:18] [SPEAKER_03]: react and typically like the way she's putting it is pretty mild but if you've ever like been in a

[01:10:26] [SPEAKER_03]: relationship with an alcoholic their reactions are not typically mild yeah so I just have like this

[01:10:36] [SPEAKER_03]: vision of her just like sitting on the floor like crying because he won't look at her manuscript

[01:10:44] [SPEAKER_02]: yeah well also so this what was this post this post was 26 days ago four days later four days

[01:10:53] [SPEAKER_02]: later she posts a post that front in the reddit stop drinking that says spent all day hung over

[01:10:59] [SPEAKER_00]: and yet still drinking I don't know how to stop yeah I think I think she should be working more on

[01:11:06] [SPEAKER_03]: that than her book call me crazy and like I like if someone said I think it's great she has a creative

[01:11:13] [SPEAKER_03]: outlet and maybe that's helping her in her recovery I hope it is I don't want people to think that I

[01:11:21] [SPEAKER_03]: just hate this woman but I'm uh man alcoholics it's really difficult to like be around well it

[01:11:32] [SPEAKER_00]: alcoholism I found to be very it's a very difficult uh a substance abuse for people to deal with because

[01:11:38] [SPEAKER_00]: it's like socially acceptable and people go out and drink all the time and it's not really until

[01:11:44] [SPEAKER_00]: until you hit say like I'm like 30 so like by this time is where like the alcoholics in my

[01:11:49] [SPEAKER_00]: like age group are starting to show you know because in your early 20s nobody cares you know

[01:11:54] [SPEAKER_00]: everybody's drinking like crazy but by this point if you're still doing that people are like

[01:11:58] [SPEAKER_00]: something's wrong something's wrong but you know it can be a lot to get over that you know

[01:12:04] [SPEAKER_02]: it's crazy I can't imagine I can't imagine myself addicted to alcohol that just because

[01:12:10] [SPEAKER_02]: it makes me feel like shit so it's like I do drink my problem is when I start drinking I want

[01:12:18] [SPEAKER_02]: to keep drinking and then like I have that that's a fucking issue but like once it's over

[01:12:24] [SPEAKER_02]: it's like okay I can go like a month I'm like no more drinking I'm fine like people will bring beer

[01:12:28] [SPEAKER_02]: and I'm like ah it's okay I don't I fucking remember the last time I don't want to feel that right now

[01:12:33] [SPEAKER_00]: yeah if I didn't have like a tendency to like just throw up and make a complete ass of myself in

[01:12:38] [SPEAKER_00]: front of strangers I probably would drink more than I should but I don't really drink anymore

[01:12:43] [SPEAKER_02]: yeah it is it is the responsible thing for everyone to do I just can't imagine

[01:12:46] [SPEAKER_02]: like having that grip over you that sounds so that sounds like a real horror movie

[01:12:53] [SPEAKER_00]: there we go you can find a horror movie about that I'm sure that I'm sure one exists

[01:12:58] [SPEAKER_02]: okay so we've got we're gonna do another one here I'm gonna go to 88 that sounds like a good

[01:13:04] [SPEAKER_00]: number good round number 88 miles per hour oh you don't watch movies so you don't get that

[01:13:12] [SPEAKER_02]: what is it the gigawatts 88 gigawatts or whatever 88 miles per hour to reach the 1.21 gigawatts of

[01:13:20] [SPEAKER_02]: electrics dude needed to go back in time I knew I knew the fucking movie I was on the same movie

[01:13:25] [SPEAKER_02]: what's the name of the movie fucking night at the Roxbury bro no

[01:13:32] [SPEAKER_02]: back to the future yeah that's it I was on the I mean at least you had a movie where there is a

[01:13:37] [SPEAKER_03]: scene that they're in like a call I'm fucking losing it I picked a really short one

[01:13:46] [SPEAKER_02]: let's see wait is this the one I clicked on oh yeah it is

[01:13:51] [SPEAKER_02]: I didn't read it okay well this is this one's pretty sick everybody what does it have to do with

[01:13:57] [SPEAKER_02]: the soul caliber I don't know I see why now this is from boob throw away 0011

[01:14:06] [SPEAKER_02]: should have been 8008 you're right 818838008 or whatever the comment

[01:14:16] [SPEAKER_02]: or whatever the calculator thing is uh this is am I the asshole for telling my girlfriend her boobs

[01:14:21] [SPEAKER_02]: weren't big enough to cosplay a character I wonder what character it is um take your guesses in the

[01:14:29] [SPEAKER_02]: comments down below my girlfriend enjoys doing cosplays and Halloween costumes she's already

[01:14:34] [SPEAKER_02]: planning her costume for this year and since she's obsessed with some game called soul caliber

[01:14:39] [SPEAKER_02]: question mark I think that's how it's spelled correctly uh she all right is it not spelled

[01:14:46] [SPEAKER_00]: like that well I can't remember if like there's a space between soul caliber or not I think

[01:14:51] [SPEAKER_00]: it's just one word oh you're right it is just one word yeah anyway who cares I think it's spelled

[01:14:57] [SPEAKER_02]: right though big rip where did my thing go okay soul called I think that's how it's spelled

[01:15:02] [SPEAKER_02]: she was showing me a girl from there she wanted to dress up as someone named Cassandra Cassandra

[01:15:09] [SPEAKER_00]: Cassandra yep she doesn't have huge tits right it depends on the game

[01:15:15] [SPEAKER_02]: oh yeah you're right there she has huge tits in some of the games because it was soul caliber four

[01:15:21] [SPEAKER_00]: where like like all the female characters got some uh some hd proportions if you know what I mean

[01:15:27] [SPEAKER_02]: this picture her tits are literally like moving

[01:15:32] [SPEAKER_02]: it's a still picture yeah but there is motion here check this out yeah yeah because it's like in

[01:15:38] [SPEAKER_00]: soul caliber one um it's all you know not too bad but like as the games kept going they got like by

[01:15:45] [SPEAKER_00]: four they were pretty revealing and I think at five and six they kind of dialed it back a little bit

[01:15:50] [SPEAKER_02]: well this is from six they aren't they aren't huge but they look at the they're actually I put it

[01:15:54] [SPEAKER_00]: underneath the master chief yeah yeah they are flopping that's what he said about very sad yeah

[01:16:01] [SPEAKER_00]: yeah Cassandra she's okay I know I know who you were thinking I was thinking of fucking Ivy

[01:16:08] [SPEAKER_02]: yeah exactly everyone thinks Ivy uh she's especially when you're younger oh she's a ridiculous looking

[01:16:19] [SPEAKER_02]: characters breasts like balloons and it made me laugh I joked that I didn't think her boobs

[01:16:25] [SPEAKER_02]: were big enough to cosplay such a character accurately and she got upset I told her several

[01:16:29] [SPEAKER_02]: times that it was a joke and that I was just trying to be funny am I the asshole for the joke I made

[01:16:35] [SPEAKER_02]: that's it short and sweet it's not something I would have said I I don't think I think this is fine

[01:16:43] [SPEAKER_02]: like it's if her in some of these games her tits are huge and it's like all right is this

[01:16:50] [SPEAKER_00]: but bazoonga's look at what's going on here it's not the worst thing he could have said it's one

[01:16:54] [SPEAKER_00]: of those like maybe a little bit but you know whatever it could have been worse yeah and it was just

[01:17:02] [SPEAKER_02]: a dumb little joke I don't know what do you think Rachel yeah I don't I don't really think it's that

[01:17:08] [SPEAKER_03]: big of a deal uh but you know no one would ever joke make that joke to me so yeah can't relate

[01:17:19] [SPEAKER_00]: I mean it's very I mean I will say it if him telling this joke like makes her not want to do the

[01:17:26] [SPEAKER_03]: cosplay anymore then it's like okay let me do the cosplay who gives a shit I get it so sometimes

[01:17:35] [SPEAKER_03]: women that don't have big breasts they're just like man they like hold on to that as an insecurity

[01:17:41] [SPEAKER_03]: because people suck and they pointed out and so it could just be that she does have that like as an

[01:17:48] [SPEAKER_03]: insecurity and maybe he didn't know that maybe he did know that uh like but if he didn't know that

[01:17:58] [SPEAKER_03]: and he made the joke then she could talk about it and say hey that was a sore subject ouch don't do

[01:18:09] [SPEAKER_02]: your tits yeah well here's the thing I think that if he worded it differently it would have been a

[01:18:14] [SPEAKER_02]: fine joke because like it's like are you do you think your tits are this big do you think your tits

[01:18:19] [SPEAKER_02]: are big enough to do this it's more like wow but her tits are so huge like that might be a better

[01:18:24] [SPEAKER_02]: way to say this because I think his in his mind the joke is that the character's tits are giant

[01:18:30] [SPEAKER_02]: not that my girlfriend's tits are small you know what I mean so but she took it as her tits

[01:18:36] [SPEAKER_00]: are small because of the way that you worded it yeah maybe she has like you know like not like

[01:18:41] [SPEAKER_00]: she's not like flat chested but maybe she has some but not like you know the massive honkers that's

[01:18:46] [SPEAKER_00]: Cassandra can have and you know and maybe he was just making a comment about that and they're really

[01:18:50] [SPEAKER_03]: upset her yeah she's spent her life as like an a cup and just been criticized by partner after

[01:18:57] [SPEAKER_03]: partner for too small of not having punching bags yeah now she's now she's feeling hurt she's mad

[01:19:05] [SPEAKER_02]: I get her mad she doesn't have back problems it's like if it's if you just never if you want like a

[01:19:13] [SPEAKER_02]: like simplified it's like do you think it's okay to make a small joke about your partner's appearance

[01:19:20] [SPEAKER_02]: uh but it's like I even at that level I'm like I don't know how much of the joke is about

[01:19:24] [SPEAKER_02]: her his partner's appearance so it just happened to include that yeah because it's like okay so what

[01:19:31] [SPEAKER_02]: if it was a fat character and then he was like but okay hold on how do I say this I don't make it the

[01:19:37] [SPEAKER_02]: same so it's like the fact it's a fat character she's cosplaying but it's like oh but you're not that

[01:19:41] [SPEAKER_02]: fat or skinny okay skinny is probably what makes more sense so it's like oh it's a really skinny

[01:19:47] [SPEAKER_02]: character like fucking Jack Skellington or something and just like oh but you aren't that

[01:19:50] [SPEAKER_02]: skinny is that that's probably a bad joke right yeah you probably shouldn't say that they're like an

[01:19:57] [SPEAKER_00]: off-commit yeah where it's like like that's not the point of like a cosplay you know yeah also

[01:20:03] [SPEAKER_02]: yeah cosplay it isn't the point to look exactly like the thing but I mean I mean some do some are

[01:20:08] [SPEAKER_03]: very good like about the because he says it's a ridiculous looking character and it made him laugh

[01:20:15] [SPEAKER_03]: so I do think his joke was more geared toward the character just being silly yeah to him well it's

[01:20:22] [SPEAKER_00]: clear he doesn't play Soul Calibur because she is not the most outlandish like not even close

[01:20:29] [SPEAKER_02]: who's fucking uh what is the other one show him show him voldo yo look at tacky tacky is another

[01:20:36] [SPEAKER_02]: who fucking looks insane Rachel Rachel doesn't really know Soul Calibur here check this shit out

[01:20:44] [SPEAKER_02]: yeah this is gonna go right underneath Soul Calibur is great Sandra I like Soul Calibur as well

[01:20:49] [SPEAKER_02]: we played it over at that arcade we played Soul Calibur 2 but the second uh the there was it

[01:20:54] [SPEAKER_02]: was you know it's got two different button pads and the second button pad like the

[01:21:00] [SPEAKER_02]: fucking vertical attack button didn't work so I was literally handicapped and I also picked

[01:21:05] [SPEAKER_02]: Keelik who is like mainly vertical and so I'm like oh my god I'm so fine you do that to yourself

[01:21:11] [SPEAKER_00]: I didn't know the button was broken so fair enough fair enough but yeah like just like the

[01:21:15] [SPEAKER_00]: picture they have for talking on her like Wikipedia page is like more than enough where

[01:21:21] [SPEAKER_02]: yo those things is bigger than her head son they look like balloons like a little balloon

[01:21:26] [SPEAKER_02]: like this one actually looks like balloons yeah because they're like suspended and she wears

[01:21:32] [SPEAKER_00]: like standax it's I mean I mean hell if you want to see a crazy like male characters like a voldo

[01:21:37] [SPEAKER_02]: like yeah or aster off I mean yeah the character called man that was who Rachel picked my dude

[01:21:47] [SPEAKER_00]: this man's awesome she was Blizzard man main and then she beat my ass or uh or maxi who's like

[01:21:52] [SPEAKER_02]: the nunchuck guy who's like yeah like everyone in soul caliber is hot as fuck that's like the point

[01:21:58] [SPEAKER_02]: of the game kind of especially lizard man yeah lizard man if you're into it the fucking lady from

[01:22:03] [SPEAKER_02]: the alcoholic lady writing the fantasy novel lizard man's one of the many harem characters

[01:22:08] [SPEAKER_02]: exactly all right character he got labeled an asshole this guy got crucified in the comments

[01:22:15] [SPEAKER_00]: yeah I see well I mean this is reddit so I'm not shocked but it yeah it was probably like an

[01:22:21] [SPEAKER_00]: offhand joke that he shouldn't have said and I think he realized he shouldn't have said it

[01:22:25] [SPEAKER_02]: yeah literally every single comments like you're the asshole don't joke about someone's appearance

[01:22:29] [SPEAKER_02]: and I'm like again I truly believe that he's not joking about her appearance I think he's joking

[01:22:34] [SPEAKER_00]: about yeah but I think but I think he hasn't done like a legitimate apology on it like he's just

[01:22:39] [SPEAKER_00]: like it was a joke I didn't mean it and it's like that's not what that's not what you say man

[01:22:43] [SPEAKER_02]: yeah when you when you're apologizing about it you need to mean it that you didn't mean to

[01:22:47] [SPEAKER_02]: hurt her feelings I feel like that you should apologize for yeah I feel like in this situation

[01:22:51] [SPEAKER_00]: it's better to like maybe let it like cool off like for a day or two days and then just be like

[01:22:56] [SPEAKER_00]: hey I'm really sorry I said that like I wasn't trying to upset you but clearly I did and I did

[01:23:02] [SPEAKER_00]: not and I do apologize for that you know like kind of like just let it like cool off and then

[01:23:07] [SPEAKER_00]: once it's cooled off then do like the proper apology and then you know you should be okay

[01:23:12] [SPEAKER_02]: then everyone is so mad at him like this person like you think a guy would react better if

[01:23:16] [SPEAKER_02]: his girlfriend made a joke that is dick small like you fucking Rachel says that shit about me all the time

[01:23:21] [SPEAKER_02]: do you have a small dick oh yes it's true it's not a joke this time around

[01:23:29] [SPEAKER_02]: no I don't joke about it I'm just serious yeah I don't think this I don't think

[01:23:36] [SPEAKER_02]: wait is this from the girlfriend's perspective or the boyfriend's perspective boyfriend I don't

[01:23:39] [SPEAKER_00]: think he's an asshole but go apologize dude yeah do a proper apology okay don't do the like oh

[01:23:46] [SPEAKER_00]: it was just a joke I didn't mean it like no no no that doesn't count like you have to actually

[01:23:50] [SPEAKER_00]: humble yourself a little bit okay and you'll be that's the thing he'll be fine the bar is so

[01:23:56] [SPEAKER_00]: fucking low for dudes like if you just do like a half decent apology you'll probably be okay

[01:24:00] [SPEAKER_03]: they could also be like maybe he makes jokes like this all the time and it can get really

[01:24:05] [SPEAKER_03]: fucking old whenever someone is just like they say something hurtful or offensive and they're

[01:24:11] [SPEAKER_03]: like it's a joke and then they just stand on that and they just do it all the time yeah that can

[01:24:18] [SPEAKER_03]: wear someone down maybe maybe he's doing that I don't know it can like I've had tendencies where

[01:24:24] [SPEAKER_00]: I've done that where I've said something that kind of upset somebody in that case and you know

[01:24:28] [SPEAKER_00]: yeah you're sewn up to it you're like I'm sorry I don't know what the fuck I'm looking at right

[01:24:36] [SPEAKER_02]: but it's look at this that's it's Death Stranding to photo mode it's from Death Stranding to

[01:24:44] [SPEAKER_00]: they like there's like a photo mode and it's like these girls like just whatever and you know

[01:24:49] [SPEAKER_00]: doing tiktok dances and yeah I see this and I just go Konami was right yeah they wouldn't allow this

[01:24:56] [SPEAKER_00]: this uh this game is going to change everything Kojima's always thinking three steps ahead

[01:25:02] [SPEAKER_00]: I'm like that's what you got out of this random bullshit

[01:25:08] [SPEAKER_00]: god I love the cult I love the cult his cult is insane okay like I like his games but we don't

[01:25:14] [SPEAKER_02]: need to do this guys I don't know I also think it's just insane I hate like pictures and stuff I

[01:25:21] [SPEAKER_02]: don't know like I was saying before it kind of ties into like the fakeness of like things I don't

[01:25:24] [SPEAKER_02]: like it when things are fake around me and like taking pictures is just inherently fake

[01:25:29] [SPEAKER_02]: I've gotten used to taking one of the hardest things about like making the new thumbnails

[01:25:34] [SPEAKER_02]: was taking pictures of myself all the time but yeah because I get to edit them in stupid places

[01:25:38] [SPEAKER_02]: like I was like okay this is and it make just to make the thumbnail for the thing it

[01:25:42] [SPEAKER_02]: got me used to it but like when I can't every time I'm watching like a tiktok I'm like thinking

[01:25:48] [SPEAKER_02]: about the person holding the camera and like they're talking at the person it's like look at this

[01:25:53] [SPEAKER_02]: wow look at that crazy thing over there we're gonna go do that and I'm like imagining seeing that

[01:25:58] [SPEAKER_02]: from a third person perspective like from like the other side of the park you know what I mean

[01:26:03] [SPEAKER_02]: like watching people do that it makes me feel so here's another one I was I saw this video you

[01:26:09] [SPEAKER_02]: know like the leaning tower of pizza yes everyone always tries to take a picture of like holding

[01:26:13] [SPEAKER_02]: up the the tower of pizza it's f**king like yeah yeah yeah it's it's cringe people right it's super

[01:26:18] [SPEAKER_02]: cringe there's this guy that was running around high fiving the people and like f**king

[01:26:22] [SPEAKER_02]: up their picture like just running around high fiving like and there was like at first I was

[01:26:26] [SPEAKER_02]: laughing he was like oh it's kind of funny because he's f**king with him but then he there was like

[01:26:30] [SPEAKER_02]: a hundred people doing it and it made me feel sick to my stomach I don't know why that happens

[01:26:35] [SPEAKER_02]: I have this like weird adversity to like it's like Orwellian is it not like just seeing that

[01:26:40] [SPEAKER_00]: it feels so weird just like the idea everybody does the exact same thing at the exact same

[01:26:45] [SPEAKER_02]: location yeah but it's also like not original it's not creative it's not I don't know I mean

[01:26:51] [SPEAKER_00]: I'm being kind of cynical I guess it's fine you know it is what it is I think it's just like the more

[01:26:58] [SPEAKER_00]: online our world becomes the more like fake everything seems to be because it's all like

[01:27:03] [SPEAKER_00]: set up through this like digital landscape as opposed to actually like communicating with people in

[01:27:09] [SPEAKER_02]: the real world yeah yeah I did not mean for this to get this to you

[01:27:14] [SPEAKER_03]: More on the story everyone should delete TikTok yeah I feel like I'm too old for TikTok

[01:27:20] [SPEAKER_03]: and I'm only 30 I'm like actively trying to convince two of my friends that they need to get off TikTok

[01:27:27] [SPEAKER_02]: they the s**t that you show me that they that they say to you sometimes oh my god the s**t that

[01:27:34] [SPEAKER_03]: they say to me sometimes dear god I'm I'm trying to break through they're both older than me I'm 30

[01:27:41] [SPEAKER_02]: yeah that's the weird gap so we are like this like there's this chart of like being

[01:27:48] [SPEAKER_02]: convinced by disinformation and then there's like you shape where our generation is and that so if

[01:27:54] [SPEAKER_02]: you're older than us or younger than us you're very vulnerable to TikTok like I don't know what it is

[01:28:00] [SPEAKER_02]: and then millennials are just jaded and sad like it's got to the point where like they'll send me

[01:28:06] [SPEAKER_03]: something or they'll just say something outlandish and I'm just like can you give me a reliable

[01:28:11] [SPEAKER_03]: source for that

[01:28:12] [SPEAKER_01]: yeah it's a TikTok video please stop saying TikTok videos

[01:28:17] [SPEAKER_03]: they're like oh it was a headline and I'm like oh don't get me f**king started right now

[01:28:23] [SPEAKER_03]: yeah they didn't read the article

[01:28:24] [SPEAKER_03]: you guys don't want none of the literally god it makes me mad

[01:28:28] [SPEAKER_00]: yeah it's awful

[01:28:29] [SPEAKER_03]: delete TikTok stop reading headlines and taking it as news

[01:28:33] [SPEAKER_00]: yeah I just I never bothered with TikTok because when it first came out I was just like

[01:28:37] [SPEAKER_00]: yeah it's not going to be as good as Vine because Vine was funny

[01:28:40] [SPEAKER_02]: people have been telling me like some podcasts were like hey if you put clips on TikTok of the show

[01:28:46] [SPEAKER_02]: and like like basically what I do on Instagram it's like it's pretty decent they got a couple

[01:28:51] [SPEAKER_02]: people from TikTok watching and listening I can't imagine the TikTok audience in podcasting have

[01:28:56] [SPEAKER_02]: much overlap because it's literally the opposite

[01:28:58] [SPEAKER_03]: no it's they'll do it but it's like the it's the stupid videos that have half screen of

[01:29:05] [SPEAKER_03]: like someone playing a mobile game half screen of just text that it's just someone talking

[01:29:13] [SPEAKER_02]: I mean I don't know maybe I could do that I don't know that f**king video on I put a

[01:29:17] [SPEAKER_02]: I put a f**king uh it would purely be for advertising purposes only like just for

[01:29:22] [SPEAKER_02]: advertising the podcast I I don't think I could ever interact with TikTok in a meaningful way

[01:29:27] [SPEAKER_02]: uh but like that f**king Fortnite festival clip that I put on Instagram let me let me

[01:29:34] [SPEAKER_02]: refresh it because it says 126,000 views now which is the most eyes I've ever had on anything

[01:29:40] [SPEAKER_02]: it's 135,000 views now from when I last looked so I don't know what the f**k happened here

[01:29:47] [SPEAKER_02]: but I made a I made a viral Fortnite thing I guess but here proud of you did you did you see it

[01:29:55] [SPEAKER_00]: you should watch it because I yeah because like I could probably make clips of like my streams

[01:30:01] [SPEAKER_00]: and put them on TikTok and maybe get some clicks from it but I just don't feel like doing that

[01:30:06] [SPEAKER_02]: here look at this direct all right where is it well hold on how do I link this I don't know how to link

[01:30:12] [SPEAKER_02]: it's f**king complicated on Instagram but okay so what it is is I don't think I can put this in

[01:30:17] [SPEAKER_02]: the thing because it's just a Lincoln Park song so semephar is locked dude yeah so there's a

[01:30:22] [SPEAKER_00]: oh yeah I forgot you can play rock band in fortnight I totally forgot yeah the the bug

[01:30:28] [SPEAKER_02]: you sometimes a character yeah literally the rock band devs they bought the rock band devs to make this

[01:30:35] [SPEAKER_02]: which god how are we gone well the good thing is that rock band was dying again so like no one cared

[01:30:43] [SPEAKER_02]: about it and now everyone cares about it again suddenly so it's like if this is the deal with

[01:30:47] [SPEAKER_02]: the devil we have to make then I get I mean I guess if my if Microsoft brought back guitar

[01:30:52] [SPEAKER_02]: here that would be amazing but I don't know if they ever will I doubt it the character sometimes your

[01:30:59] [SPEAKER_02]: character models one of them will just freeze in place I don't know if this bug is fixed yet or not

[01:31:04] [SPEAKER_02]: but uh Rachel picked the f**king the dumbest f**king character model I could possibly be

[01:31:11] [SPEAKER_02]: and then it froze in place looking real pissed off during Lincoln Park in the end and so it

[01:31:18] [SPEAKER_02]: so edgy and dumb go look at our Instagram cowboy flamingo dude yeah the the comments are split in

[01:31:27] [SPEAKER_02]: half how about half of them the bird I hate and then half of them lower accurate basest

[01:31:32] [SPEAKER_03]: sometimes with fortnight you just there's there's always a skin that will kill you over

[01:31:38] [SPEAKER_03]: and over and over again no matter who's playing that skin you just die and then when you see it

[01:31:45] [SPEAKER_02]: later like it triggers you and like you begin to panic whenever I first started playing fortnight

[01:31:50] [SPEAKER_03]: it was ariana grande if I saw an ariana grande I was getting the f**k out of there I was like I

[01:31:55] [SPEAKER_03]: gotta go guys I'm about to die they didn't even have to see me but I knew no it's like the f**king

[01:32:02] [SPEAKER_02]: what is it oh now I was gonna say final destination but that's not right well there was a thing where

[01:32:06] [SPEAKER_02]: like someone knew how they were gonna die and then they just started avoiding those things

[01:32:10] [SPEAKER_02]: that's it like it's like you saw the future was it that's so raven is it that's so

[01:32:16] [SPEAKER_00]: well because you know she used to have all those visions and she would try her best to like

[01:32:20] [SPEAKER_00]: prevent the bad stuff but it happened anyway I don't think that's what it was

[01:32:25] [SPEAKER_03]: there wasn't a movie like that I think I loved that shitty b-horror movie that I can't think of

[01:32:32] [SPEAKER_03]: the name of the butterfly effect I think that happened in that it's been so long since I've

[01:32:39] [SPEAKER_02]: seen that has anything bad happened so many bad things are happening to all the live action like

[01:32:44] [SPEAKER_02]: old kids shows like has anything bad happened if that's so raven oh yeah oh yeah big bad

[01:32:55] [SPEAKER_02]: so much bad has came from that's so raven oh god yeah seriously I don't know if you guys

[01:33:09] [SPEAKER_03]: don't know if you guys don't know that she turns out that it's like a lesbian I think which is cool

[01:33:15] [SPEAKER_00]: yeah she's lesbian but who fucking cares

[01:33:19] [SPEAKER_02]: she went back and sent her to episodes of that's so Ravens sometime this year uh oh

[01:33:24] [SPEAKER_00]: not not everybody but some of them a twitter post went viral

[01:33:29] [SPEAKER_02]: showing a scene from season four episode driving miss lazy and which sounds like in the midst of

[01:33:35] [SPEAKER_02]: an argument Raven calls Eddie a fruity n-word.

[01:33:42] [SPEAKER_02]: That's awesome.

[01:33:43] [SPEAKER_02]: And I guess that's censored.

[01:33:45] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, yeah.

[01:33:46] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, you can.

[01:33:47] [SPEAKER_02]: They have timestamps.

[01:33:49] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh my God.

[01:33:51] [SPEAKER_00]: Time stamps.

[01:33:52] [SPEAKER_02]: All right.

[01:33:53] [SPEAKER_02]: Well, anyway, that's so Raven.

[01:33:55] [SPEAKER_02]: Wait, what are we doing?

[01:33:57] [SPEAKER_02]: The assassins creed unity.

[01:33:58] [SPEAKER_02]: We're back.

[01:34:00] [SPEAKER_02]: I think we took a break.

[01:34:01] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't remember.

[01:34:02] [SPEAKER_00]: Did we take a break?

[01:34:03] [SPEAKER_00]: I don't know.

[01:34:03] [SPEAKER_02]: My fucking brain took a break.

[01:34:05] [SPEAKER_00]: I was going to say, because for some reason,

[01:34:08] [SPEAKER_00]: you both of your cameras have been frozen on my end

[01:34:10] [SPEAKER_00]: for the last like 30 minutes.

[01:34:11] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, really?

[01:34:12] [SPEAKER_02]: Well, I don't move that much either.

[01:34:13] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm almost very still.

[01:34:16] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah. Oh, well, that audio is fine, so it gives a shit.

[01:34:19] [SPEAKER_02]: I got the steam thing, the steam

[01:34:21] [SPEAKER_02]: bait for satin creed unity.

[01:34:23] [SPEAKER_02]: A.C. Unity tells the story of Arno,

[01:34:26] [SPEAKER_02]: a young man who embarks upon an extraordinary journey

[01:34:28] [SPEAKER_02]: to expose the true powers behind the French Revolution

[01:34:31] [SPEAKER_02]: in this brand new co-op mode.

[01:34:33] [SPEAKER_02]: You and your friends will also be thrown

[01:34:36] [SPEAKER_02]: in the middle of a ruthless struggle

[01:34:37] [SPEAKER_02]: for the fate of the nation.

[01:34:39] [SPEAKER_02]: Very positive on steam.

[01:34:41] [SPEAKER_02]: Also, Metacritic about 70 and 72.

[01:34:44] [SPEAKER_02]: Anywhere between those two released November

[01:34:46] [SPEAKER_02]: 2024 2014.

[01:34:48] [SPEAKER_00]: 10 years ago, I am surprised

[01:34:50] [SPEAKER_00]: the Metacritic is that high for it.

[01:34:53] [SPEAKER_00]: Or at least I'm curious what the user score is

[01:34:55] [SPEAKER_00]: because I mean, we can get into it,

[01:34:57] [SPEAKER_00]: but this game was roasted when it came out.

[01:35:00] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I think what probably happened is that

[01:35:02] [SPEAKER_02]: the copies that they played were in their own

[01:35:05] [SPEAKER_02]: like dedicated servers because I think

[01:35:06] [SPEAKER_02]: a big majority of the issues that people

[01:35:08] [SPEAKER_02]: out of the beginning was that it was broken

[01:35:09] [SPEAKER_02]: and buggy on release.

[01:35:11] [SPEAKER_00]: Yep. So so for Metacritic, yeah,

[01:35:13] [SPEAKER_00]: the the critics score is 72.

[01:35:15] [SPEAKER_00]: The user score is five point six.

[01:35:19] [SPEAKER_02]: They have this very famous picture where here

[01:35:23] [SPEAKER_00]: this is the guy missing the face.

[01:35:25] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, he doesn't have a face.

[01:35:26] [SPEAKER_00]: I'll show this to Rachel.

[01:35:27] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I've seen that pic

[01:35:29] [SPEAKER_02]: on history and preconceptions,

[01:35:31] [SPEAKER_02]: which this is my preconception with this game.

[01:35:33] [SPEAKER_02]: The fucking the picture of a guy with no

[01:35:35] [SPEAKER_02]: doesn't this look like a horror movie character to you?

[01:35:38] [SPEAKER_03]: Rachel, it makes me think of

[01:35:42] [SPEAKER_03]: fallout three because there's like

[01:35:44] [SPEAKER_03]: I just remember this one glitch

[01:35:46] [SPEAKER_03]: that I got like multiple times

[01:35:48] [SPEAKER_03]: whenever killing cook cook or whatever.

[01:35:51] [SPEAKER_03]: It might have been New Vegas,

[01:35:52] [SPEAKER_03]: but his face did this

[01:35:54] [SPEAKER_03]: and every time I'd kill him

[01:35:55] [SPEAKER_03]: would just be floating eyeballs.

[01:35:57] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, yeah.

[01:35:59] [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, that happens like like random thing

[01:36:01] [SPEAKER_02]: because in the Bethesda games,

[01:36:02] [SPEAKER_02]: like every individual item

[01:36:04] [SPEAKER_02]: is like its own thing in the fucking game engine.

[01:36:07] [SPEAKER_02]: It's insane. That's I mean, anyway, yeah.

[01:36:09] [SPEAKER_02]: So this character,

[01:36:10] [SPEAKER_02]: the characters heads will disappear.

[01:36:13] [SPEAKER_02]: The teeth make me think of Batman Arkham Asylum.

[01:36:16] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I see that.

[01:36:17] [SPEAKER_02]: The the Chattery teeth.

[01:36:20] [SPEAKER_02]: So I I think I played this game

[01:36:22] [SPEAKER_02]: like a year after release.

[01:36:24] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't remember.

[01:36:24] [SPEAKER_02]: I saw all my true achievements.

[01:36:25] [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, Rachel, do not have much knowledge of this game.

[01:36:30] [SPEAKER_02]: I apparently beat this game back in 2018.

[01:36:33] [SPEAKER_02]: I have no memory.

[01:36:35] [SPEAKER_02]: I watched walk.

[01:36:36] [SPEAKER_02]: I watched a walkthrough on YouTube like skipping around.

[01:36:38] [SPEAKER_02]: I just have no fucking memory of this game,

[01:36:41] [SPEAKER_02]: which is funny because the game is about memory.

[01:36:44] [SPEAKER_02]: Because it's about the memories of what's his name,

[01:36:46] [SPEAKER_02]: like genetic memory.

[01:36:49] [SPEAKER_00]: Well, Desmond's involved in this game, unfortunately.

[01:36:51] [SPEAKER_02]: But oh, he's gone by this point.

[01:36:55] [SPEAKER_00]: Yes, because well, spoiler alert,

[01:36:56] [SPEAKER_00]: they killed him at the end of Assassin's Creed three.

[01:37:00] [SPEAKER_00]: And sort of the issue with that is when they killed him often three,

[01:37:03] [SPEAKER_00]: it felt like they were trying to do something with it.

[01:37:05] [SPEAKER_00]: But they kind of just gave up because like Black Flag and Rogue

[01:37:09] [SPEAKER_00]: tried to do like this weird first person exploring thing where it's like,

[01:37:13] [SPEAKER_00]: oh, welcome to like Animus.

[01:37:14] [SPEAKER_00]: We're like a video game dev studio.

[01:37:16] [SPEAKER_00]: And it's like Ubisoft trying to make fun of themselves,

[01:37:18] [SPEAKER_00]: but missing the point.

[01:37:20] [SPEAKER_00]: And then this and then this one kind of has the Animus stuff.

[01:37:24] [SPEAKER_00]: But it's very light.

[01:37:25] [SPEAKER_00]: And then like Syndicate, the follow up to this just barely has any Animus at all.

[01:37:30] [SPEAKER_00]: So like it felt like Ubisoft just kind of gave up on

[01:37:34] [SPEAKER_00]: like the modern era of like the story lines, which is really dumb.

[01:37:38] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, which is sad because I think that was the most interesting

[01:37:41] [SPEAKER_02]: for when I was playing at the beginning.

[01:37:43] [SPEAKER_02]: But it was it was it had the most potential, I think,

[01:37:47] [SPEAKER_02]: is what I was thinking.

[01:37:48] [SPEAKER_02]: And then they just never did anything.

[01:37:50] [SPEAKER_00]: Well, because I'm playing Origins and Origins,

[01:37:52] [SPEAKER_00]: they're trying to bring it back, but with like a new character.

[01:37:55] [SPEAKER_00]: But I think from what I'm told, when you get into like Odyssey and Vahala,

[01:37:59] [SPEAKER_00]: it doesn't really add up to much.

[01:38:02] [SPEAKER_00]: You know, it's like Ubisoft occasionally are like, oh, we should do something with that.

[01:38:06] [SPEAKER_00]: And then they try and then they just kind of give up on it

[01:38:08] [SPEAKER_00]: because they're like, hey, nobody cares, but people do care

[01:38:10] [SPEAKER_00]: because they made us care because like the etiology handled the Desmond stuff so well.

[01:38:15] [SPEAKER_00]: Like especially at the end of Revelations,

[01:38:17] [SPEAKER_00]: like the end of Revelations, they could have ended the Assassin's Creed right there.

[01:38:20] [SPEAKER_00]: And I think people would have been fine with it.

[01:38:22] [SPEAKER_00]: But.

[01:38:24] [SPEAKER_02]: The yeah, my history and preconceptions, I did play

[01:38:27] [SPEAKER_02]: Richard, I'm going to go for a second, but I played all of the Assassin's Creed games.

[01:38:32] [SPEAKER_02]: I think up to Unity.

[01:38:34] [SPEAKER_02]: I didn't remember playing Unity, so I thought I was going to be replaying this.

[01:38:37] [SPEAKER_02]: Also, what's weird in this game is that I couldn't

[01:38:40] [SPEAKER_02]: I couldn't find a way to reset my story.

[01:38:43] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, like I had to just go back and

[01:38:47] [SPEAKER_02]: just replay missions, which is fine.

[01:38:49] [SPEAKER_02]: I did like one or two missions and I tried to co-op mission by myself.

[01:38:52] [SPEAKER_02]: We'll talk about that in a minute, but I really liked Assassin's Creed

[01:38:56] [SPEAKER_02]: and I kind of just slowly died off.

[01:38:58] [SPEAKER_02]: Like it gets old after a while

[01:39:00] [SPEAKER_02]: if you play the same thing over and over again, unless you use Yakuza

[01:39:04] [SPEAKER_02]: and that never gets old.

[01:39:06] [SPEAKER_00]: True. Yakuza always finds a way of keeping invested.

[01:39:09] [SPEAKER_02]: Do you know how long you played this game because?

[01:39:13] [SPEAKER_00]: No, I was looking at my like the Xbox app

[01:39:17] [SPEAKER_00]: and it like for some reason

[01:39:20] [SPEAKER_00]: it could just be me, but for some reason I play one games on the series

[01:39:23] [SPEAKER_00]: and it has like say the time played on the app.

[01:39:25] [SPEAKER_00]: It just like doesn't give me the time.

[01:39:29] [SPEAKER_00]: So it's like blanked out.

[01:39:30] [SPEAKER_00]: But I can say I did like 60 percent of the single player missions,

[01:39:34] [SPEAKER_00]: like 54 percent of the Paris stories.

[01:39:36] [SPEAKER_00]: And I have about half the I got 29 of 57 achievements.

[01:39:41] [SPEAKER_00]: So for what that's for what that's worth.

[01:39:44] [SPEAKER_02]: So oh yeah, I got 30 of the achievements apparently.

[01:39:49] [SPEAKER_02]: And I played 62 hours of this game, I guess.

[01:39:53] [SPEAKER_02]: It's what my ex.

[01:39:54] [SPEAKER_00]: Well, I mean, I probably played

[01:39:55] [SPEAKER_00]: probably not that much, but I played a decent amount of it.

[01:39:59] [SPEAKER_02]: I probably just played like multiplayer.

[01:40:01] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't know if the multiplayer is in this game,

[01:40:02] [SPEAKER_02]: but I did like a Assassin's Creed multiplayer.

[01:40:04] [SPEAKER_02]: Just go over and bring around.

[01:40:05] [SPEAKER_00]: I've never done Assassin's Creed multiplayer.

[01:40:08] [SPEAKER_02]: So it's very not good.

[01:40:11] [SPEAKER_00]: There was like one

[01:40:12] [SPEAKER_00]: and it might have been brotherhood, people like the multiplayer on that one.

[01:40:15] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah. Well, I mean, the thing is that it's very unbalanced

[01:40:18] [SPEAKER_02]: and dumb, but I don't know.

[01:40:21] [SPEAKER_02]: That was the history.

[01:40:22] [SPEAKER_02]: That was the era of tacked on multiplayer on every game.

[01:40:26] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, absolutely.

[01:40:28] [SPEAKER_02]: Rachel doesn't have hours either.

[01:40:30] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't know why.

[01:40:31] [SPEAKER_02]: So I think that the hours for Xbox is just completely bugged on this game,

[01:40:35] [SPEAKER_02]: which is appropriate because again, it's like it's multiple

[01:40:38] [SPEAKER_00]: like Xbox One games do that for me.

[01:40:41] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I don't know. I don't know why.

[01:40:43] [SPEAKER_02]: The reason why I say it's bugged is because it tracked my hours for some reason.

[01:40:46] [SPEAKER_02]: It knows I played 62 hours, but or at least it says that.

[01:40:50] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't I've never seen it have it for me, but not for someone else.

[01:40:54] [SPEAKER_00]: But yeah, I'm not sure who cares.

[01:40:57] [SPEAKER_02]: So we've got these reviews here.

[01:41:00] [SPEAKER_02]: Actually do want to do this.

[01:41:01] [SPEAKER_02]: So we got a lot of people that replied to my tweet this this week for some reason.

[01:41:06] [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, you made a tweet about this game.

[01:41:09] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I've been sneaky.

[01:41:10] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm not saying that it's for the episode.

[01:41:12] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm just like, Hey, is it remembers Brotherhood and then just leaving it?

[01:41:16] [SPEAKER_00]: Just just seeing what people say. Yeah.

[01:41:18] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[01:41:19] [SPEAKER_02]: So I guess we could just alternate talking about it because Rachel's not back yet.

[01:41:25] [SPEAKER_02]: But again, my camera's frozen.

[01:41:27] [SPEAKER_00]: I couldn't tell her.

[01:41:28] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, yeah, she she left.

[01:41:31] [SPEAKER_02]: So let me go see what I said in the tweet.

[01:41:33] [SPEAKER_02]: I forgot. I think I just said,

[01:41:36] [SPEAKER_02]: did you play? What do you think about a sad community?

[01:41:38] [SPEAKER_02]: OK, yeah. So it's just a generic question open ended.

[01:41:41] [SPEAKER_02]: So Night of the Living Podcast says,

[01:41:44] [SPEAKER_02]: I fucking loved Unity and even more so loved that it tied the story of Assassin's Creed

[01:41:49] [SPEAKER_02]: Rogue and high that it tied into the story of Assassin's Creed Rogue

[01:41:56] [SPEAKER_02]: and high is a hidden gem of the series.

[01:42:00] [SPEAKER_02]: OK, I don't know if something happened in that sentence that I don't understand.

[01:42:04] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I'm trying to think of what high refers to.

[01:42:07] [SPEAKER_00]: Maybe like high society, I think.

[01:42:13] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm not sure. Yeah.

[01:42:15] [SPEAKER_02]: Maybe it's just a typo. Oh, yeah.

[01:42:17] [SPEAKER_00]: There's a mission called a high society.

[01:42:19] [SPEAKER_00]: It's the third mission in Unity.

[01:42:21] [SPEAKER_00]: And if I remember correctly, it's the one where you're chasing after.

[01:42:28] [SPEAKER_00]: No, no, it's oh, it's like the very early one where you're trying to go back

[01:42:32] [SPEAKER_00]: to like the girl, right?

[01:42:34] [SPEAKER_00]: I can't remember her name off top of my head where our nose going after

[01:42:38] [SPEAKER_02]: the chick that he likes. Yeah, yeah.

[01:42:40] [SPEAKER_02]: I can't remember her name either.

[01:42:42] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, let me find it real quick.

[01:42:45] [SPEAKER_00]: Because that was one thing that I because what because what is cool is that?

[01:42:48] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, the end of Rogue is the beginning of Unity,

[01:42:53] [SPEAKER_00]: which is really cool because. Oh, yeah, because

[01:42:57] [SPEAKER_00]: because Shay is the one who kills Arno's dad.

[01:43:00] [SPEAKER_02]: The cool. Yeah, the cool thing about Rogue is that Rogue is a

[01:43:04] [SPEAKER_02]: it was a previous gen game, right?

[01:43:07] [SPEAKER_00]: And it really, yeah.

[01:43:08] [SPEAKER_00]: So so Rogue and you, yeah, Rogue and Unity kind of represent like where

[01:43:11] [SPEAKER_00]: Assassin's Creed started getting a little bit too much because they both

[01:43:14] [SPEAKER_00]: released on the exact same day.

[01:43:16] [SPEAKER_00]: And Unity was for PS4, Xbox One, and then Rogue was for PS3 and 360.

[01:43:22] [SPEAKER_00]: But Rogue is like between three and four, you know, where it's

[01:43:26] [SPEAKER_00]: you're still doing like the ship combat from four, but it's more set

[01:43:29] [SPEAKER_00]: in the locations of three.

[01:43:31] [SPEAKER_00]: So it's trying to mix that up and you play as like Shay Cormac,

[01:43:34] [SPEAKER_00]: who starts out in this assassin, but becomes a Templar later in the game.

[01:43:38] [SPEAKER_00]: And so your Templar and it like it tries to be interesting to play

[01:43:42] [SPEAKER_00]: into that dynamic of, oh, what if you're a Templar?

[01:43:44] [SPEAKER_00]: But I feel it doesn't go far enough with that to really make it worth it.

[01:43:48] [SPEAKER_00]: But the ending of the game is you're in Paris and then you

[01:43:51] [SPEAKER_00]: assassinate Arno's father, which is like leads right into Unity,

[01:43:54] [SPEAKER_00]: which is actually a really nice touch.

[01:43:56] [SPEAKER_02]: That is cool to get some continuity because for the most part

[01:43:58] [SPEAKER_02]: the games are disjointed like the trilogy, the etio trilogy is

[01:44:01] [SPEAKER_02]: directly connected, but everything else is like on it in its own little island

[01:44:05] [SPEAKER_02]: for the most part.

[01:44:06] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, they're all part and time.

[01:44:08] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, yeah, they're all within the same universe, but it's like different eras,

[01:44:11] [SPEAKER_00]: you know, like people throw one in with the etio trilogy

[01:44:14] [SPEAKER_00]: because Revelation Springs all tie air back.

[01:44:16] [SPEAKER_00]: So it kind of rounds them all out.

[01:44:18] [SPEAKER_00]: And then you have three, four and Rogue represent like the Kenway saga

[01:44:22] [SPEAKER_00]: where it's like, you know, Shay and then Haytham and Connor,

[01:44:25] [SPEAKER_00]: like they're all connected and all that.

[01:44:28] [SPEAKER_00]: And then, yeah, Unity is connected into that.

[01:44:31] [SPEAKER_00]: But then Syndicate's the one that kind of does its own separate thing

[01:44:34] [SPEAKER_00]: from everything pretty much because that's the one in London with the twins.

[01:44:39] [SPEAKER_02]: And then Origins like goes back, which I thought I thought this was the one

[01:44:43] [SPEAKER_02]: in London. So I was very confused when I first started playing it again.

[01:44:46] [SPEAKER_02]: I was like, where where's the girl?

[01:44:49] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, where's the Arkham combat?

[01:44:52] [SPEAKER_02]: Rachel, so you were gone whenever we did the history and pre-ccessions.

[01:44:55] [SPEAKER_02]: But what is your history with the Assassin's Creed series?

[01:44:57] [SPEAKER_02]: Because you said that you mentioned at the beginning of the episode,

[01:45:00] [SPEAKER_02]: you were going to talk about that.

[01:45:03] [SPEAKER_03]: Oh, sorry.

[01:45:05] [SPEAKER_03]: I have just notoriously disliked the Assassin's Creed series.

[01:45:13] [SPEAKER_03]: I don't.

[01:45:16] [SPEAKER_03]: I just don't give a fuck, you know, like it's so outside of my interest.

[01:45:22] [SPEAKER_03]: Just going through time as an assassin.

[01:45:27] [SPEAKER_03]: Got the people telling you what time or whatever you're going to.

[01:45:32] [SPEAKER_03]: I don't know, it's just I just didn't care.

[01:45:36] [SPEAKER_03]: And it makes me sick looking at it.

[01:45:39] [SPEAKER_03]: Because of like the jumping around.

[01:45:41] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, like jumping off of buildings and stuff.

[01:45:44] [SPEAKER_03]: Like it makes my stomach drop, but then I just want to throw up.

[01:45:48] [SPEAKER_03]: So I think that was a big part of my hatred for Assassin's Creed.

[01:45:53] [SPEAKER_02]: Well, that'll do it if it physically makes you like it's like

[01:45:56] [SPEAKER_02]: you can't blame people for not liking a virtual boy

[01:45:59] [SPEAKER_02]: because it makes them sick when they look at it.

[01:46:02] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, yeah.

[01:46:03] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I never thought about the motion sickness aspect with this game,

[01:46:06] [SPEAKER_00]: but I could see that.

[01:46:08] [SPEAKER_03]: I tried to like explain that to you before we started playing and you were just like

[01:46:13] [SPEAKER_02]: and try to be fair, this game doesn't have nearly as much of that

[01:46:19] [SPEAKER_02]: eagle jumping off of tall, tall thing like you could do.

[01:46:22] [SPEAKER_02]: You could just not do that if you wanted to just climb.

[01:46:25] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah. And it's yeah.

[01:46:26] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, the cool thing is that Assassin's Creed is that you can play as much

[01:46:29] [SPEAKER_00]: or a little of it as you want.

[01:46:30] [SPEAKER_00]: Like if you just want to do the main story, you can just breeze through all

[01:46:33] [SPEAKER_00]: that. But if you want to do all the side missions, you can.

[01:46:36] [SPEAKER_00]: But it's not really required.

[01:46:38] [SPEAKER_00]: Like if you just want to breeze through the stories, they're like 10,

[01:46:40] [SPEAKER_00]: 15 hour games, really.

[01:46:41] [SPEAKER_00]: They're as long as you want them to be.

[01:46:44] [SPEAKER_02]: I feel like this game, just from running around the map,

[01:46:47] [SPEAKER_02]: I feel like this game is a lot more horizontal than the ones that I remember.

[01:46:52] [SPEAKER_02]: Like there's there is verticality to the game, but like it's like France.

[01:46:56] [SPEAKER_02]: So most of it is like the same level, right?

[01:46:59] [SPEAKER_02]: Like you're kind of just running around on the rooftops with the stove,

[01:47:01] [SPEAKER_02]: top pipes or whatever they're called and running through those.

[01:47:05] [SPEAKER_02]: The well, OK, so we'll get into all of that.

[01:47:08] [SPEAKER_02]: We got a couple. We've got a bunch of replies here.

[01:47:10] [SPEAKER_02]: So we got also a Kalimar plays at Kalimar plays said one of the best settings,

[01:47:15] [SPEAKER_02]: but heavily let down by story and controls.

[01:47:17] [SPEAKER_02]: The multiplayer is a real pain to get through as well,

[01:47:20] [SPEAKER_02]: especially putting collectibles in it.

[01:47:21] [SPEAKER_02]: The only saving grace is it's tied to Assassin's Creed Rogue.

[01:47:24] [SPEAKER_02]: We got another Assassin's Creed Rogue mentioned here.

[01:47:28] [SPEAKER_00]: He also says that it's not a bad game.

[01:47:31] [SPEAKER_02]: He says the best part of the city is it feels interactive.

[01:47:35] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I like that as well.

[01:47:36] [SPEAKER_02]: There's a lot of buildings you can go into.

[01:47:38] [SPEAKER_00]: Yes. Yes.

[01:47:40] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, like we can get into that when we get in the unity,

[01:47:42] [SPEAKER_00]: but one of the best things about unity is like the setting

[01:47:45] [SPEAKER_00]: and like how they really make it feel like Paris during

[01:47:49] [SPEAKER_00]: like I think it was during the French Revolution.

[01:47:51] [SPEAKER_00]: So they do a really good job of immersing you into that era

[01:47:54] [SPEAKER_00]: in that setting, you know, like it feels like a lie,

[01:47:57] [SPEAKER_00]: like a lively lived in city with all these like people around

[01:48:00] [SPEAKER_00]: and all these like giant crowds and shit.

[01:48:02] [SPEAKER_02]: That's how you're going to say it feels like a lively.

[01:48:05] [SPEAKER_02]: And I was like, I don't like that too.

[01:48:07] [SPEAKER_00]: Imagine the live leaks during the French Revolution era.

[01:48:10] [SPEAKER_00]: You'd see a lot of people just getting like chopped off and

[01:48:13] [SPEAKER_02]: she fucked up. Yeah, it would be insane.

[01:48:16] [SPEAKER_02]: There was no Geneva Convention back then.

[01:48:19] [SPEAKER_02]: We had Jordan at Berserker.

[01:48:21] [SPEAKER_02]: This replied said played it hated it.

[01:48:24] [SPEAKER_02]: And then I asked him if he just doesn't like Assassin's Creed games or what?

[01:48:27] [SPEAKER_02]: And he said he stopped playing Assassin's Creed at Brotherhood.

[01:48:29] [SPEAKER_02]: They got boring.

[01:48:29] [SPEAKER_02]: And then he picked up Odyssey, got to the boat section, hated it.

[01:48:32] [SPEAKER_02]: So he quit and then he decided to play unity with a friend

[01:48:35] [SPEAKER_02]: because it was co-op.

[01:48:36] [SPEAKER_02]: And he realized he just probably didn't like the style of game,

[01:48:39] [SPEAKER_02]: which makes sense.

[01:48:40] [SPEAKER_02]: I also have the same trajectory similarly where

[01:48:44] [SPEAKER_02]: I kind of got bored around Brotherhood and I kept playing.

[01:48:47] [SPEAKER_02]: But I think it was three that I stopped.

[01:48:49] [SPEAKER_02]: And then I tried to play origins.

[01:48:53] [SPEAKER_02]: And as soon as I saw like the weapons with the numbers,

[01:48:55] [SPEAKER_02]: is that origins where weapons and armor have like values?

[01:49:00] [SPEAKER_02]: I was like, oh, yeah.

[01:49:01] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, basically origins is where they like make it more of like a big

[01:49:04] [SPEAKER_00]: RPG and there's like loot and grinding.

[01:49:08] [SPEAKER_00]: And like you could call them like witcher clones if you really want to

[01:49:11] [SPEAKER_00]: because they definitely have like a witcher three influence on them.

[01:49:14] [SPEAKER_00]: But origins is probably is considered the best of the three,

[01:49:18] [SPEAKER_00]: you know, and it is because like I really like Bayek,

[01:49:22] [SPEAKER_00]: the guy you play as in origins, like he's great.

[01:49:24] [SPEAKER_00]: And I think ancient Egypt is a really cool setting to do Assassin's

[01:49:26] [SPEAKER_00]: Creed. And I think so too.

[01:49:28] [SPEAKER_00]: Like you do get to climb the pyramids, which is fucking cool as hell.

[01:49:33] [SPEAKER_02]: We got Eric at Game Positive, YT.

[01:49:36] [SPEAKER_02]: He says of the more traditional Assassin's Creed games,

[01:49:38] [SPEAKER_02]: I think this one mechanically is the best.

[01:49:40] [SPEAKER_02]: Doesn't have to be doesn't have the same story

[01:49:42] [SPEAKER_02]: as the XCO trilogy, though.

[01:49:46] [SPEAKER_02]: Def makes sure to get the free DLC.

[01:49:48] [SPEAKER_02]: Also Black Flag is still the goat.

[01:49:52] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah. Yeah, I think that Black Flag is great.

[01:49:56] [SPEAKER_00]: But what makes it great is not the assassin stuff.

[01:49:58] [SPEAKER_00]: It's all the pirate shit you do.

[01:49:59] [SPEAKER_00]: That's what makes that game awesome.

[01:50:01] [SPEAKER_02]: So we are vey.

[01:50:03] [SPEAKER_02]: We are like we have a whole lot of intricate knowledge

[01:50:06] [SPEAKER_02]: of just random Assassin's Creed shit

[01:50:07] [SPEAKER_02]: because it's all in Magic the Gathering now.

[01:50:09] [SPEAKER_02]: And I think a lot of that.

[01:50:11] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, they had a they had an Assassin's Creed set.

[01:50:14] [SPEAKER_02]: Unfortunately, they're doing the fortnight thing.

[01:50:16] [SPEAKER_05]: That is weird.

[01:50:18] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, it is very weird because you like we made the joke before.

[01:50:21] [SPEAKER_02]: But like you can make a Leonardo DiCaprio deck

[01:50:24] [SPEAKER_02]: or like an Aristotle.

[01:50:25] [SPEAKER_02]: Is that one of them?

[01:50:27] [SPEAKER_03]: Cleopatra. Yeah.

[01:50:29] [SPEAKER_02]: So it's there are real people in in Magic the Gathering now.

[01:50:32] [SPEAKER_03]: The other day with someone complaining about

[01:50:35] [SPEAKER_03]: they were just like assassins don't belong in Magic the Gathering.

[01:50:39] [SPEAKER_03]: And I was like, have you ever played fucking Magic the Gathering?

[01:50:42] [SPEAKER_02]: Well, I mean, assassin is a type

[01:50:44] [SPEAKER_02]: like a very popular archetype already.

[01:50:47] [SPEAKER_03]: But literally they were like

[01:50:49] [SPEAKER_03]: assassin shouldn't be a creature type.

[01:50:51] [SPEAKER_03]: And I was like,

[01:50:53] [SPEAKER_03]: there were cards printed before this.

[01:50:56] [SPEAKER_03]: What are you talking about?

[01:50:56] [SPEAKER_00]: Who fucking yeah.

[01:50:59] [SPEAKER_00]: I'd be more weirded out if it magic didn't have

[01:51:02] [SPEAKER_00]: like an assassin type character, because I think ninjas are assassins.

[01:51:05] [SPEAKER_02]: Right? Yeah.

[01:51:06] [SPEAKER_03]: So all the cards with ninjas are ninjas.

[01:51:09] [SPEAKER_03]: They are different creature types.

[01:51:11] [SPEAKER_02]: But I mean, weren't they weren't they called assassins before?

[01:51:15] [SPEAKER_03]: And then they only recently became just they probably like a rod in it

[01:51:19] [SPEAKER_03]: to separate them because ninjas and assassins are two different creature types that.

[01:51:25] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, it's very annoying and

[01:51:28] [SPEAKER_03]: like probably like neon dynasty.

[01:51:31] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, Kamigawa so focused on ninjas.

[01:51:36] [SPEAKER_02]: Anyway, that was magic talk.

[01:51:39] [SPEAKER_02]: Friday Night Gamecast at FNG C pod

[01:51:43] [SPEAKER_02]: said that King's Oceti really enjoyed it.

[01:51:45] [SPEAKER_02]: That's will actually enjoyed a lot about this game

[01:51:48] [SPEAKER_02]: and inspired me to go back and play it at some point

[01:51:49] [SPEAKER_02]: because this and rogue are the only ones I haven't touched.

[01:51:52] [SPEAKER_02]: And then Eric, the game positive comes back in play rogue first

[01:51:55] [SPEAKER_02]: and then novel console shows up says rogue has better ship combat than four.

[01:51:59] [SPEAKER_02]: So there's a fucking tag team predator hand grip.

[01:52:03] [SPEAKER_02]: Like dude, something about rogue that people really like apparently.

[01:52:08] [SPEAKER_00]: Well, I'm curious which of the ACs have you played?

[01:52:11] [SPEAKER_02]: I've played I played all the way up to

[01:52:14] [SPEAKER_02]: four I played for I hated the ship combat.

[01:52:17] [SPEAKER_02]: So that was like I'm a weird anomaly that I don't like the ship combat.

[01:52:20] [SPEAKER_00]: I would rather just I mean, if you don't like it, then, you know,

[01:52:24] [SPEAKER_00]: rogue is not going to be much better.

[01:52:25] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, that's what though the rogue does the assassin stuff better than Black Flag.

[01:52:30] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, really? Yeah.

[01:52:33] [SPEAKER_02]: The I don't know.

[01:52:34] [SPEAKER_02]: I thought three was going to be really cool because I was like, oh, my god,

[01:52:37] [SPEAKER_02]: the American Revolution, that seems like a super cool setting.

[01:52:40] [SPEAKER_02]: And then I just I just hated the setting.

[01:52:42] [SPEAKER_02]: I hated assassinating around in America back then.

[01:52:46] [SPEAKER_02]: There was not enough like shit to jump on.

[01:52:48] [SPEAKER_02]: But yeah, I think those trees

[01:52:49] [SPEAKER_02]: like having all those trees like jumping through the trees

[01:52:52] [SPEAKER_02]: and like climbing around them.

[01:52:54] [SPEAKER_02]: I was like, this is kind of interesting, but it's not as cool as like

[01:52:56] [SPEAKER_02]: doing it on Notre Dame or whatever. Yeah.

[01:52:59] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah. Going from like the tall, like gothic cathedral type buildings

[01:53:03] [SPEAKER_00]: to just like random a hut like colony houses.

[01:53:06] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, just didn't hit the same way.

[01:53:08] [SPEAKER_00]: And three like my issue with three is that it's way too ambitious

[01:53:12] [SPEAKER_00]: that it's trying to do all these different things at once.

[01:53:15] [SPEAKER_00]: And it also like hold your hand for way too long where it's like,

[01:53:17] [SPEAKER_00]: dude, it's Assassin's Creed three.

[01:53:19] [SPEAKER_00]: I know what the fuck I'm doing, right?

[01:53:21] [SPEAKER_00]: And it just becomes a little bit too much of a mess of a game.

[01:53:25] [SPEAKER_00]: You know, I don't think it's a bad game, but a lot.

[01:53:27] [SPEAKER_00]: It has a lot of issues that kind of prevent it from being one of the

[01:53:31] [SPEAKER_00]: better games in the series, you know?

[01:53:34] [SPEAKER_00]: Unfortunately, I would recommend Rogue like it has ship combat,

[01:53:39] [SPEAKER_00]: but it's not as emphasized as for it feels like it's a little bit more

[01:53:43] [SPEAKER_00]: balanced with the ship combat and the assassinate stuff.

[01:53:45] [SPEAKER_00]: And it's not.

[01:53:46] [SPEAKER_00]: And it's one of the shorter games in the series as well.

[01:53:48] [SPEAKER_00]: So you could knock it out fairly quickly.

[01:53:52] [SPEAKER_02]: I definitely I own it.

[01:53:53] [SPEAKER_00]: Rogue's worth playing, especially since you've played through Unity.

[01:53:56] [SPEAKER_00]: So then you can get that connection with Shay, which is cool.

[01:54:00] [SPEAKER_02]: We also got at Jack Flack with two Ks.

[01:54:03] [SPEAKER_02]: I picked up a new copy for five dollars still shrink wrapped,

[01:54:06] [SPEAKER_02]: afraid I may have paid too much.

[01:54:08] [SPEAKER_02]: That guy's got an investment.

[01:54:10] [SPEAKER_00]: These games will never go up in price.

[01:54:13] [SPEAKER_00]: Never. If you go to any game store,

[01:54:15] [SPEAKER_00]: you see like a shit ton of these everywhere.

[01:54:17] [SPEAKER_03]: You should have bought Concord.

[01:54:19] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I should have bought Concord.

[01:54:20] [SPEAKER_00]: Why is that game set like 80 bucks?

[01:54:22] [SPEAKER_02]: People are stupid because it's a it's an oddity now.

[01:54:26] [SPEAKER_00]: You know, but you can't even play it for a matter.

[01:54:29] [SPEAKER_02]: If you just get to look at it like remember this time

[01:54:32] [SPEAKER_02]: when the game died in two weeks or whatever.

[01:54:35] [SPEAKER_00]: It's like NFTs.

[01:54:37] [SPEAKER_00]: Like this has no value guys.

[01:54:39] [SPEAKER_02]: We also got Jeff X X stream.

[01:54:42] [SPEAKER_02]: That was not me screwing that up.

[01:54:43] [SPEAKER_02]: It was really good.

[01:54:45] [SPEAKER_02]: Main issue I had was I wasn't crazy about the main character,

[01:54:47] [SPEAKER_02]: but the gameplay was excellent.

[01:54:49] [SPEAKER_02]: The parkour was some of the best ever.

[01:54:50] [SPEAKER_02]: Co-op was fantastic too.

[01:54:51] [SPEAKER_02]: Most importantly, it was used to help reconstruct Notre Dame.

[01:54:55] [SPEAKER_00]: That is true.

[01:54:57] [SPEAKER_02]: Which is a wild.

[01:54:58] [SPEAKER_00]: Well, I think it's technically Notre Dame.

[01:55:00] [SPEAKER_00]: Notre Dame is the college.

[01:55:01] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, whoops.

[01:55:02] [SPEAKER_02]: We're thinking about football.

[01:55:03] [SPEAKER_02]: By the way, how's that game going?

[01:55:05] [SPEAKER_00]: The Vikings won barely.

[01:55:07] [SPEAKER_02]: OK, this whole time.

[01:55:08] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm not.

[01:55:09] [SPEAKER_02]: I've been watching football.

[01:55:10] [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, it's been done for a while.

[01:55:11] [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, OK.

[01:55:12] [SPEAKER_00]: But yeah, they barely they almost lost the game.

[01:55:15] [SPEAKER_00]: Fucking idiots, but whatever.

[01:55:16] [SPEAKER_00]: The same sports cast.

[01:55:18] [SPEAKER_02]: They wanted to they wanted to make it close, make it.

[01:55:22] [SPEAKER_02]: Whatever anyway,

[01:55:23] [SPEAKER_02]: it's a soccer. Right.

[01:55:26] [SPEAKER_00]: The other football, the American one.

[01:55:30] [SPEAKER_02]: All right, Rachel, read this first review.

[01:55:32] [SPEAKER_02]: We got some steam reviews, some of them funny.

[01:55:34] [SPEAKER_02]: Most of them were just bitching about.

[01:55:37] [SPEAKER_02]: Most of them were from a decade ago,

[01:55:38] [SPEAKER_02]: bitching about how this game ran.

[01:55:40] [SPEAKER_03]: The Chum Bucket does not recommend this game.

[01:55:45] [SPEAKER_03]: It's like clicking through a PowerPoint really fast.

[01:55:51] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, pretty funny.

[01:55:53] [SPEAKER_02]: This is a decade ago, so this is back when the game didn't run too good.

[01:55:56] [SPEAKER_00]: It released broken,

[01:55:57] [SPEAKER_00]: like it was broken as shit when it came out.

[01:55:59] [SPEAKER_02]: I think it was particularly broken on PC.

[01:56:02] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, well, most games are.

[01:56:04] [SPEAKER_00]: It's so crazy how people are like PCs.

[01:56:05] [SPEAKER_00]: The best way to play games, but like feels like every time

[01:56:08] [SPEAKER_00]: a new game comes to PC, you're hearing about how it just doesn't fucking run.

[01:56:12] [SPEAKER_00]: And then it's like, well, how's it on console?

[01:56:14] [SPEAKER_00]: They're like, oh, it's fine.

[01:56:15] [SPEAKER_00]: It's like, why don't you play it on console?

[01:56:16] [SPEAKER_02]: I think it's because they're made primarily for console

[01:56:19] [SPEAKER_02]: because it's simpler.

[01:56:20] [SPEAKER_02]: And then so the games that are made primarily for PC

[01:56:22] [SPEAKER_02]: like civilization, you usually don't see those games.

[01:56:26] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah. And you have a lot of different systems to account for.

[01:56:29] [SPEAKER_00]: So it's a whole thing.

[01:56:30] [SPEAKER_02]: They're like, you want to read this next

[01:56:33] [SPEAKER_00]: sure thing from Dodie Dotty

[01:56:36] [SPEAKER_00]: back in January 28th, 2022, not recommended.

[01:56:40] [SPEAKER_00]: They have 35 hours into the game.

[01:56:42] [SPEAKER_00]: They said pretty good game, but it's about French people.

[01:56:45] [SPEAKER_00]: I agree. The French suck.

[01:56:48] [SPEAKER_03]: So all of them ever had to talk to French people in a business setting.

[01:56:53] [SPEAKER_03]: They're so fucking mean. Oh my God.

[01:56:56] [SPEAKER_03]: Oh, what? Worst. Yeah.

[01:56:57] [SPEAKER_00]: French people are assholes.

[01:56:58] [SPEAKER_02]: God, when did you talk to a French people in a business?

[01:57:01] [SPEAKER_02]: One of my old jobs.

[01:57:03] [SPEAKER_03]: I had to call people in France that worked for certain stores.

[01:57:10] [SPEAKER_03]: I'm not, I don't think I signed an NDA.

[01:57:13] [SPEAKER_03]: But convenient excuse.

[01:57:16] [SPEAKER_03]: Every time I would call them, it was about internet.

[01:57:20] [SPEAKER_03]: So I'd be like, hey, can you like give me the serial number from your router?

[01:57:25] [SPEAKER_03]: And they'd be like, why don't you fucking come look at it?

[01:57:29] [SPEAKER_03]: You dumb whore.

[01:57:31] [SPEAKER_03]: And I'm so far away from you.

[01:57:34] [SPEAKER_03]: Do you hear my accent?

[01:57:36] [SPEAKER_03]: I hear yours.

[01:57:37] [SPEAKER_03]: They were always so mean and they just never wanted to talk to me.

[01:57:42] [SPEAKER_03]: And I hated talking.

[01:57:43] [SPEAKER_03]: I hated calling anyone in France.

[01:57:47] [SPEAKER_03]: They were the worst people to call.

[01:57:50] [SPEAKER_00]: The French people are dicks.

[01:57:54] [SPEAKER_00]: And also French Canadians are dicks, too.

[01:57:57] [SPEAKER_02]: Take that Canada elders roles.

[01:57:58] [SPEAKER_02]: Fuck you guys.

[01:57:59] [SPEAKER_00]: Well, I don't think they like specifically like Quebec.

[01:58:02] [SPEAKER_00]: Like that's the Canadian province.

[01:58:04] [SPEAKER_00]: It's very close.

[01:58:05] [SPEAKER_03]: It's too close.

[01:58:08] [SPEAKER_03]: The overlap is there and they're so mean.

[01:58:12] [SPEAKER_03]: Sorry if you're a nice French person.

[01:58:14] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't mean sorry.

[01:58:19] [SPEAKER_02]: I forget what I was about to say.

[01:58:20] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, it's like so yeah, half of the fucking half of the reviews on Steam

[01:58:23] [SPEAKER_02]: were people bitching about how the game runs and the other half

[01:58:25] [SPEAKER_02]: are people bitching about the French.

[01:58:28] [SPEAKER_02]: So Rachel, do you want to read this next?

[01:58:30] [SPEAKER_02]: The third one here.

[01:58:32] [SPEAKER_03]: So it is not recommended.

[01:58:35] [SPEAKER_03]: Pros, you get to kill the French cons.

[01:58:39] [SPEAKER_03]: You are French.

[01:58:43] [SPEAKER_02]: And I was from Chiqui.

[01:58:46] [SPEAKER_02]: And then the last one here at the rack around us out

[01:58:48] [SPEAKER_00]: from a great name, Norwegian rat.

[01:58:50] [SPEAKER_00]: What a great name.

[01:58:52] [SPEAKER_00]: He recommends it.

[01:58:53] [SPEAKER_00]: I'm assuming it's a he after 86 hours on record.

[01:58:56] [SPEAKER_00]: He said, man gets led on by woman ends up starting the French Revolution,

[01:59:00] [SPEAKER_00]: which is based, based.

[01:59:03] [SPEAKER_00]: That is and her name is Elise.

[01:59:06] [SPEAKER_00]: I had to look it up. Elise.

[01:59:08] [SPEAKER_02]: Is that how it's spelled?

[01:59:09] [SPEAKER_02]: Is that how it's pronounced?

[01:59:10] [SPEAKER_00]: Yes.

[01:59:11] [SPEAKER_00]: If I remember correctly in the game, they say Elise.

[01:59:13] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[01:59:14] [SPEAKER_02]: All right, if you notice our discussion points very bare, not a lot here.

[01:59:20] [SPEAKER_00]: A lot of Ubisoft support tweets.

[01:59:22] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah. So this is my experience.

[01:59:24] [SPEAKER_02]: This is our experience with it, is that so this was just like a week ago

[01:59:29] [SPEAKER_02]: or like 10 days ago now.

[01:59:30] [SPEAKER_02]: It was like a week ago, but when I screenshoted this,

[01:59:33] [SPEAKER_02]: a SAS Ubisoft support is literally just every couple of days saying,

[01:59:37] [SPEAKER_02]: hey, we're aware there's issues with the SAS community servers

[01:59:40] [SPEAKER_02]: and we've got a dedicated team working for a solution as quickly as possible

[01:59:44] [SPEAKER_02]: that has been the same.

[01:59:45] [SPEAKER_02]: It's like the same tweet, the same reply to anyone complaining about it

[01:59:48] [SPEAKER_02]: for every couple of days for like two years.

[01:59:52] [SPEAKER_00]: Is it really?

[01:59:53] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[01:59:54] [SPEAKER_02]: So servers are always just either not working at all

[01:59:57] [SPEAKER_02]: or they look like they're working like you connect to the server

[02:00:00] [SPEAKER_02]: and then you never find people or it'll just disconnect you for some reason.

[02:00:04] [SPEAKER_02]: There's like something you can do where you unlink your Ubisoft account

[02:00:08] [SPEAKER_02]: with your with your Xbox account and then sometimes it works.

[02:00:11] [SPEAKER_02]: But I don't know.

[02:00:12] [SPEAKER_02]: We couldn't get it to work.

[02:00:14] [SPEAKER_02]: We tried multiple times.

[02:00:15] [SPEAKER_00]: See, I'm scrolling down and I do not find unity.

[02:00:18] [SPEAKER_00]: I find other stuff.

[02:00:19] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah. Well, that's the there.

[02:00:20] [SPEAKER_02]: Are you looking at replies as well?

[02:00:22] [SPEAKER_02]: Because when you look at replies, it'll like fucking flood because they know I just

[02:00:26] [SPEAKER_00]: tweet today. No, I just do posts.

[02:00:28] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, they don't ever post about unity.

[02:00:30] [SPEAKER_02]: They only reply to people posting at them.

[02:00:33] [SPEAKER_00]: OK, let me let me see.

[02:00:35] [SPEAKER_00]: I'm seeing like X defied a bunch and yeah, the fucking sea skull and bones.

[02:00:40] [SPEAKER_00]: And I'm like, who's playing skull and bones?

[02:00:43] [SPEAKER_02]: That was the thing about me.

[02:00:44] [SPEAKER_02]: I was like, who's going to be playing unity?

[02:00:46] [SPEAKER_02]: But after playing Viva Pinyada and getting like 12 people to join our

[02:00:50] [SPEAKER_02]: farm like over an hour, I was like, holy shit, maybe people are going to be

[02:00:53] [SPEAKER_02]: playing unity and then there are people trying to play unity.

[02:00:57] [SPEAKER_02]: There is literally if you go to a SAS also, I use this what website

[02:01:00] [SPEAKER_02]: called true achievements and they have like threads, you know,

[02:01:04] [SPEAKER_02]: there's like a forum there you can talk and do all do all kinds of stuff.

[02:01:07] [SPEAKER_02]: Literally two days ago yesterday, actually, this site's updated.

[02:01:11] [SPEAKER_02]: There is a person talking in here, Mr. Double D.

[02:01:15] [SPEAKER_00]: He is double D. Yeah.

[02:01:18] [SPEAKER_00]: He could be Cassandra.

[02:01:19] [SPEAKER_02]: I was thinking a double D from Ed Ed and Eddie.

[02:01:24] [SPEAKER_00]: That's fair.

[02:01:25] [SPEAKER_02]: But he's like, according to yeah, he's just he's just trying to figure out

[02:01:29] [SPEAKER_02]: how to get these fucking servers to work.

[02:01:32] [SPEAKER_02]: Poor guy.

[02:01:33] [SPEAKER_02]: He's trying to get the achievements.

[02:01:35] [SPEAKER_00]: Double D would be a guy who'd love Assassin's Creed.

[02:01:38] [SPEAKER_02]: I think so too. Yeah.

[02:01:39] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, because it's literally going around the map, putting markers on everything.

[02:01:46] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[02:01:46] [SPEAKER_00]: I did see somebody added them about Assassin's Creed Odyssey

[02:01:50] [SPEAKER_00]: as they're playing the game on their PS4 and trying to move this

[02:01:53] [SPEAKER_00]: is the save to their PS5, which is like notoriously really stupid.

[02:01:58] [SPEAKER_01]: I fucking hate Sony so much.

[02:02:00] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[02:02:02] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, that was a good thing about upgrading from the one to the series.

[02:02:04] [SPEAKER_00]: Everything was there.

[02:02:05] [SPEAKER_02]: And yeah, you don't have to think just how it should be.

[02:02:08] [SPEAKER_02]: Everything just works.

[02:02:09] [SPEAKER_00]: The idea with consoles, it's supposed to be easier, right?

[02:02:11] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[02:02:15] [SPEAKER_02]: What were we just talking about?

[02:02:16] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, OK, so that is the main primary thing is that if you are listening

[02:02:19] [SPEAKER_02]: to this episode thinking, oh, maybe I should play Assassin's Creed Unity

[02:02:22] [SPEAKER_02]: spoiler alert, you're probably not going to be able to play it and go up.

[02:02:26] [SPEAKER_02]: So this is we're going to be talking about the past

[02:02:29] [SPEAKER_02]: and what we remember and mostly the single player stuff, because also

[02:02:32] [SPEAKER_02]: the single the story mode, the main primary campaign

[02:02:35] [SPEAKER_02]: is single player only anyways.

[02:02:38] [SPEAKER_02]: So it's not like years of war or anything like that.

[02:02:40] [SPEAKER_02]: You have like separate cordon to off co-op campaigns.

[02:02:45] [SPEAKER_02]: And I think they're connected, right?

[02:02:47] [SPEAKER_02]: Like they the missions lead into each other.

[02:02:49] [SPEAKER_00]: I would assume so.

[02:02:50] [SPEAKER_00]: I've never played the co-op in this, so I can't say

[02:02:54] [SPEAKER_00]: because I know co-op like the multiplayer was meant to be

[02:02:57] [SPEAKER_00]: like a selling point of this game.

[02:03:00] [SPEAKER_00]: But it feels like most people who play this didn't even really do that.

[02:03:04] [SPEAKER_00]: You know what I mean?

[02:03:05] [SPEAKER_00]: Because I think it's why you can have up to four players

[02:03:07] [SPEAKER_00]: do like their own sections, you know?

[02:03:09] [SPEAKER_00]: And I thought it would be cool to do that, but nobody ever wanted to do with me.

[02:03:12] [SPEAKER_00]: So I never did.

[02:03:15] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I've got some of the achievements for co-op.

[02:03:17] [SPEAKER_02]: I think there's one for like reviving somebody and stuff like that.

[02:03:20] [SPEAKER_00]: But yeah, watch this episode comes out and some of it will be like,

[02:03:23] [SPEAKER_00]: oh, we should do the co-op in unity track.

[02:03:25] [SPEAKER_00]: And I'll be like, OK, OK.

[02:03:29] [SPEAKER_02]: Well, not on Xbox because that shit don't work.

[02:03:31] [SPEAKER_00]: We can figure it out.

[02:03:35] [SPEAKER_02]: So one thing that I really liked about this

[02:03:37] [SPEAKER_02]: and we talked about this a little bit was the fucking map

[02:03:39] [SPEAKER_02]: and the map for this game is insane.

[02:03:42] [SPEAKER_02]: Rachel didn't get to experience it too much

[02:03:44] [SPEAKER_02]: because she was at the very beginning, so she was kind of locked

[02:03:46] [SPEAKER_02]: into the first part of the area.

[02:03:49] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't think she got past.

[02:03:51] [SPEAKER_02]: I think she got you got to the third sequence, right?

[02:03:54] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, because that's when co-op opened up.

[02:03:56] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, so you had to get to the third sequence.

[02:03:59] [SPEAKER_02]: But I was done with the game and I have like Max.

[02:04:02] [SPEAKER_02]: I like the Excalibur sword and fucking I was like a beast.

[02:04:06] [SPEAKER_02]: I was like one shotting people.

[02:04:07] [SPEAKER_02]: So I was like, just kind of free running for like

[02:04:09] [SPEAKER_02]: I did that for like two or three hours, like overall

[02:04:12] [SPEAKER_02]: over this week, just drinking and free running around.

[02:04:14] [SPEAKER_02]: One of the fucking awesome things, because I said this before,

[02:04:17] [SPEAKER_02]: like there are a lot of open buildings that you can run through

[02:04:19] [SPEAKER_02]: and it's just a building like there's nothing really in there.

[02:04:21] [SPEAKER_02]: You can look around if you want, but you can like jump

[02:04:24] [SPEAKER_02]: from one window into another window.

[02:04:26] [SPEAKER_02]: And there is like a fluid animation for that.

[02:04:29] [SPEAKER_02]: And I'm like, yes.

[02:04:30] [SPEAKER_02]: Whoa, like when I saw that, I was like, holy shit,

[02:04:34] [SPEAKER_02]: this is this game is pretty old and that is a very specific

[02:04:38] [SPEAKER_02]: animation and it looked really good.

[02:04:39] [SPEAKER_00]: So yeah, one of the major selling points for Unity was

[02:04:43] [SPEAKER_00]: yeah, like the map being, you know, France right in the middle

[02:04:46] [SPEAKER_00]: of the French Revolution.

[02:04:47] [SPEAKER_00]: So there's like people walking around and there's all these mob scenes

[02:04:50] [SPEAKER_00]: and you can kind of like interact in it.

[02:04:52] [SPEAKER_00]: And it's actually a really good way of like doing the social stealth

[02:04:54] [SPEAKER_00]: that Assassin's Creed was known for that you can kind of get lost

[02:04:57] [SPEAKER_00]: in these big crowds, you know, the same way you have tall grass.

[02:05:01] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah. And and also like people really liked how smooth the parkour was

[02:05:06] [SPEAKER_00]: because it felt like with three and four, they tried to redo the parkour

[02:05:09] [SPEAKER_00]: to add like, you know, the tree elements and all there.

[02:05:11] [SPEAKER_00]: And it's OK.

[02:05:13] [SPEAKER_00]: But it felt like this game with the next gen, they're like, oh, we can

[02:05:16] [SPEAKER_00]: update the parkour and really make it like smoother than the previous games.

[02:05:20] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah. You know, I'm not as huge on the parkour in this game

[02:05:24] [SPEAKER_00]: as some other people, but because it feels a little too finicky,

[02:05:27] [SPEAKER_00]: like you need to be like 100 percent accurate to do it right.

[02:05:30] [SPEAKER_00]: But when you do it right, yeah, I agree.

[02:05:33] [SPEAKER_00]: It's a lot of fun being able to slide through all the different windows

[02:05:36] [SPEAKER_00]: and do all the crazy shit.

[02:05:38] [SPEAKER_00]: But, you know, it's I found it's easier to fuck this up

[02:05:41] [SPEAKER_00]: than say some of the earlier games where the parkour was a little bit more automated.

[02:05:45] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah. But I think it was there was a lot.

[02:05:47] [SPEAKER_02]: There's probably less that like it was like uncharted,

[02:05:50] [SPEAKER_02]: where there's only one path up the cliff face that you have to climb up

[02:05:53] [SPEAKER_02]: in that game. And this game, there's like a million different ways.

[02:05:56] [SPEAKER_02]: So like I was like, I felt like it was it was very fluid.

[02:06:01] [SPEAKER_02]: But at the same time, there were many moments where I'm like,

[02:06:03] [SPEAKER_02]: I just want to get in the fucking window and he keeps crawling around it.

[02:06:05] [SPEAKER_02]: And I'm like, God damn it, just get in the window, please.

[02:06:08] [SPEAKER_00]: But yeah, yeah, you need a little bit of that automation to make it

[02:06:11] [SPEAKER_00]: a smoother experience.

[02:06:13] [SPEAKER_00]: But Syndicate, I think improves upon it, but also it does different things with it.

[02:06:17] [SPEAKER_00]: But if you haven't played Syndicate, I won't I won't say.

[02:06:21] [SPEAKER_02]: Rachel was having problems with it, too.

[02:06:22] [SPEAKER_02]: Aren't you you were complaining about the movement?

[02:06:24] [SPEAKER_03]: I mean, I don't know if it's just because I'm not used to Assassin's Creed games,

[02:06:31] [SPEAKER_03]: but it felt so bad playing it.

[02:06:35] [SPEAKER_02]: It's counterintuitive if you aren't used to it, because like it's like

[02:06:38] [SPEAKER_02]: to run with the right triggers very weird, but also the right

[02:06:41] [SPEAKER_02]: the right trigger enabling your ability to climb.

[02:06:44] [SPEAKER_02]: Like you can't climb unless you're holding right trigger and a.

[02:06:46] [SPEAKER_02]: So it's like also holding a goes up and B goes down,

[02:06:50] [SPEAKER_02]: but those are the opposite directions on the controller.

[02:06:52] [SPEAKER_02]: So if you're not used to that, I feel like it makes sense

[02:06:55] [SPEAKER_02]: that it would confuse you quite a bit.

[02:06:57] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah. And like the earlier AC games, they would do like the Zelda thing

[02:07:00] [SPEAKER_00]: where you'd have the buttons in the right corner so you could see what they do.

[02:07:03] [SPEAKER_00]: And I think unity, you have to if you want that,

[02:07:05] [SPEAKER_00]: you have to turn the option on to see it, you know, because it's definitely

[02:07:10] [SPEAKER_02]: they're trying to breaking. Yeah. Yeah, kind of.

[02:07:13] [SPEAKER_03]: But but if you need that, it helps and just like get stuck on a wall

[02:07:16] [SPEAKER_03]: and he just couldn't decide if he wanted to go up or down and.

[02:07:22] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, that yeah, there's way too many times where it feels like the parkour

[02:07:26] [SPEAKER_00]: controls get in the way, you know, which is not what you want the parkour to do.

[02:07:31] [SPEAKER_00]: You want it to be like almost like say like a Sonic game,

[02:07:34] [SPEAKER_00]: like when you hit like a speed boost or whatever, and it just kind of does the thing

[02:07:37] [SPEAKER_00]: and you can like just sit back and enjoy for a second.

[02:07:40] [SPEAKER_00]: Like here, they want you to be in control of it at all times.

[02:07:44] [SPEAKER_03]: Well, it's like they want you to be in control of it,

[02:07:47] [SPEAKER_03]: but also just like the pathing the way that it is in the game

[02:07:50] [SPEAKER_03]: takes away that control.

[02:07:52] [SPEAKER_03]: So it feels like it's conflicting with itself.

[02:07:57] [SPEAKER_03]: And that was just it.

[02:07:59] [SPEAKER_02]: That is a thing where like so it's like you can once you get really, really used to it.

[02:08:04] [SPEAKER_02]: I was telling this to her when she was playing that like you begin to see the matrix.

[02:08:08] [SPEAKER_02]: Like you can see where he's going to go.

[02:08:10] [SPEAKER_02]: Like if you decide to go in what direction.

[02:08:12] [SPEAKER_02]: And that was the thing I was talking about when I was watching the

[02:08:15] [SPEAKER_02]: Assassin's Creed Shadow thing, how the character will land in a specific spot.

[02:08:19] [SPEAKER_02]: And I'm like, of course they did.

[02:08:20] [SPEAKER_02]: And or like when they jump it always in a specific trajectory.

[02:08:24] [SPEAKER_02]: And it's like I'm so used to it that I just know how the character is going to act.

[02:08:28] [SPEAKER_02]: And I think that that's good for player

[02:08:31] [SPEAKER_02]: into for the player to intuit in like chaotic situations.

[02:08:36] [SPEAKER_02]: But I also think that that's really a huge barrier for new people.

[02:08:41] [SPEAKER_00]: Yes, unity is not a starting point for a new person who wants to play these games.

[02:08:46] [SPEAKER_00]: Not at all.

[02:08:48] [SPEAKER_02]: But I mean, I did like the one thing also because I said I've

[02:08:51] [SPEAKER_02]: I haven't played in a long time.

[02:08:53] [SPEAKER_02]: I haven't played any Assassin's Creed really in a long time.

[02:08:55] [SPEAKER_02]: After the first like initial confusion, like, oh, yeah, I have to right trigger

[02:08:59] [SPEAKER_02]: a button to do the thing I want to do.

[02:09:02] [SPEAKER_02]: It's like after that it immediately was like riding a bike.

[02:09:05] [SPEAKER_02]: Like I just instantly started parkouring everywhere.

[02:09:06] [SPEAKER_02]: And I'm like, oh, I remember this like it does feel really good

[02:09:12] [SPEAKER_02]: for someone who's like into the legacy Assassin's Creed games.

[02:09:16] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah. And I think if you yeah, if you've played one Assassin's Creed game,

[02:09:19] [SPEAKER_00]: you've kind of played them all so it's kind of easier to kind of allow yourself

[02:09:25] [SPEAKER_00]: to kind of get into the games from a control standpoint.

[02:09:27] [SPEAKER_02]: I agree. I think a big thing about the games,

[02:09:30] [SPEAKER_02]: like which ones you should be playing, I think is the besides the new one.

[02:09:33] [SPEAKER_02]: There is a delineation when after origins where like everything changed.

[02:09:37] [SPEAKER_02]: The games are completely different game now.

[02:09:39] [SPEAKER_02]: But like, yeah, yeah, it depends on what setting you think is the most interesting.

[02:09:43] [SPEAKER_02]: I think. Yeah.

[02:09:44] [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, I would say if somebody is brand new to the Assassin's Creed series,

[02:09:48] [SPEAKER_00]: I would say like if you want to see like the pure assassin stuff,

[02:09:51] [SPEAKER_00]: I would say start with two.

[02:09:53] [SPEAKER_00]: I think two is probably the best starting point.

[02:09:55] [SPEAKER_00]: But if you just want to have like but say like you want to do the pirate shit.

[02:09:59] [SPEAKER_00]: And it's like, yeah, play Black Flag then you'll have a good time.

[02:10:02] [SPEAKER_00]: Or, you know, if somebody sees like Odyssey, they're like,

[02:10:05] [SPEAKER_00]: oh, like an ancient Greece game that looks cool as shit.

[02:10:07] [SPEAKER_00]: It's like, yeah, go and play it.

[02:10:08] [SPEAKER_00]: Like Odyssey is probably a good starting point

[02:10:10] [SPEAKER_00]: if you haven't played any of the games

[02:10:11] [SPEAKER_00]: because then you won't cry about how it's not an Assassin's Creed game.

[02:10:15] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, which is a huge.

[02:10:17] [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, to be fair, it's it's basically a Witcher clone.

[02:10:20] [SPEAKER_00]: Like there's barely any stealth in the game

[02:10:21] [SPEAKER_00]: and it just plays like a big action RPG.

[02:10:24] [SPEAKER_00]: It's not bad, but it's not really Assassin's Creed.

[02:10:28] [SPEAKER_00]: They could have just called it like Odyssey, like ancient Greece Odyssey

[02:10:31] [SPEAKER_00]: and nobody would have blinked an eye.

[02:10:32] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, well, that's like the Immortals of Avium game or not.

[02:10:35] [SPEAKER_02]: Is that the game I'm thinking of?

[02:10:37] [SPEAKER_02]: Immortals of Avium? Is that Ubisoft?

[02:10:40] [SPEAKER_02]: Because there's a shooter.

[02:10:41] [SPEAKER_00]: That was the EA one, wasn't it?

[02:10:45] [SPEAKER_02]: Is this EA?

[02:10:47] [SPEAKER_00]: I think it was.

[02:10:49] [SPEAKER_02]: No, this is Ubisoft.

[02:10:51] [SPEAKER_00]: Immortals of Avium.

[02:10:52] [SPEAKER_00]: That was published by EA.

[02:10:54] [SPEAKER_00]: That came out last year.

[02:10:58] [SPEAKER_02]: No, it didn't.

[02:11:00] [SPEAKER_02]: Neither of those things are true.

[02:11:01] [SPEAKER_02]: You're gaslighting me right now.

[02:11:02] [SPEAKER_00]: I'm not.

[02:11:04] [SPEAKER_02]: It came out. I'm looking at it.

[02:11:05] [SPEAKER_02]: It came out in 2020

[02:11:07] [SPEAKER_02]: and it was published by Ubisoft, developed by Ubisoft.

[02:11:11] [SPEAKER_00]: Quebec. Immortals of Avium.

[02:11:13] [SPEAKER_02]: No, Immortals of Phoenix Rising.

[02:11:15] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, my God.

[02:11:16] [SPEAKER_02]: You say I am saying the wrong game.

[02:11:18] [SPEAKER_02]: That's why I had some cognitive dissonance.

[02:11:20] [SPEAKER_02]: What is Immortals of Avium?

[02:11:22] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, yeah. OK.

[02:11:23] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, Phoenix Rising.

[02:11:24] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, yeah, that was their like Breath of the Wild clone.

[02:11:27] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, they both have Immortals in the name.

[02:11:29] [SPEAKER_02]: This is what's going on.

[02:11:30] [SPEAKER_00]: I hear that game's really good.

[02:11:31] [SPEAKER_00]: I still haven't played it.

[02:11:34] [SPEAKER_02]: Which one? Both of them?

[02:11:36] [SPEAKER_00]: Avium I have not heard good things about.

[02:11:38] [SPEAKER_00]: Phoenix Rising I have.

[02:11:40] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, it's it's OK.

[02:11:42] [SPEAKER_02]: I played it a little bit.

[02:11:43] [SPEAKER_02]: It's more like it's like they added Breath of the Wild shit

[02:11:46] [SPEAKER_00]: and to their yeah, it's basically like a Breath of the Wild game.

[02:11:49] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, but I know some people who dug the hell out of it.

[02:11:51] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I need to play.

[02:11:53] [SPEAKER_02]: I only played for like 30 minutes and I didn't hate it.

[02:11:55] [SPEAKER_02]: I just forgot that I had it downloaded.

[02:11:59] [SPEAKER_00]: Well, you're always buying in games every week.

[02:12:01] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, yeah, it's fucking it's terrible.

[02:12:02] [SPEAKER_02]: It's like the Legos.

[02:12:03] [SPEAKER_02]: The Lego guy.

[02:12:05] [SPEAKER_00]: But they don't take physical space.

[02:12:07] [SPEAKER_00]: They just take digital space.

[02:12:08] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, because I have I buy to my

[02:12:11] [SPEAKER_02]: digital by my digital.

[02:12:12] [SPEAKER_00]: When's the last time you bought a physical game?

[02:12:18] [SPEAKER_02]: Rock Band 4, I think when Rock Band 4 came out.

[02:12:21] [SPEAKER_02]: I think it was the very last one.

[02:12:22] [SPEAKER_00]: That was what 2015.

[02:12:23] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, I'm a liar.

[02:12:24] [SPEAKER_02]: I buy physical Switch games, but I don't think that's because

[02:12:27] [SPEAKER_02]: the Switch's memory card is so small that if I bought it,

[02:12:31] [SPEAKER_00]: you got to put an SD card in there.

[02:12:33] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I buy physical Switch games.

[02:12:34] [SPEAKER_02]: So I think technically it's fire and blooming gauge

[02:12:36] [SPEAKER_02]: is the last physical game I bought.

[02:12:38] [SPEAKER_00]: But nice.

[02:12:41] [SPEAKER_02]: Anyway, so another thing that I really liked about this game

[02:12:44] [SPEAKER_02]: is that there's a lot of customization.

[02:12:45] [SPEAKER_02]: You can customize our.

[02:12:48] [SPEAKER_02]: Arno, I'm a sort of R team that's fucking that's fucking Metro.

[02:12:53] [SPEAKER_02]: But yeah, you can customize Arno quite a bit.

[02:12:56] [SPEAKER_02]: I had him running around in the normal size like the Etsy.

[02:12:59] [SPEAKER_02]: I had him had the Etsy clothes on for a little bit.

[02:13:01] [SPEAKER_02]: And then I switched it out.

[02:13:02] [SPEAKER_02]: He has like his master's assassins clothes, which are like blue.

[02:13:05] [SPEAKER_02]: And I'm like, all right, this looks really cool.

[02:13:07] [SPEAKER_02]: And I ran around and then like there are different parts of armor

[02:13:10] [SPEAKER_02]: that you unlock and they change the way that you look.

[02:13:12] [SPEAKER_02]: So it's like you can either have that armor on or you can use

[02:13:15] [SPEAKER_02]: the outfits that kind of transmog whatever you're wearing into that.

[02:13:19] [SPEAKER_02]: I think that that's pretty cool.

[02:13:21] [SPEAKER_02]: And then when you go into multiplayer, you play as that character.

[02:13:24] [SPEAKER_02]: I do remember that because I remember having the Etsy stuff

[02:13:27] [SPEAKER_02]: and people being like, oh, shit, you know, at lookouts at CEO or whatever.

[02:13:32] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I did that.

[02:13:35] [SPEAKER_02]: But, uh, Rachel, you play the beginning.

[02:13:37] [SPEAKER_02]: Did you have any customization at all?

[02:13:40] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't remember how much you get.

[02:13:41] [SPEAKER_03]: I don't believe so.

[02:13:44] [SPEAKER_03]: I've encountered.

[02:13:46] [SPEAKER_00]: But I thought that was like, did you even get to where

[02:13:48] [SPEAKER_00]: Ardo becomes an assassin?

[02:13:51] [SPEAKER_03]: I think so. Yeah.

[02:13:52] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, because I think that that you I think you go into the camp,

[02:13:55] [SPEAKER_02]: the co-op stuff from.

[02:13:58] [SPEAKER_02]: Well, no, it's just missions.

[02:13:59] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't know how it works with when you haven't been in the game,

[02:14:01] [SPEAKER_00]: but it takes a little time till Arno becomes like a proper assassin.

[02:14:06] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, you go to the fucking pub or whatever. Right?

[02:14:10] [SPEAKER_00]: I think so.

[02:14:10] [SPEAKER_00]: Well, it's like you get you get thrown in prison

[02:14:13] [SPEAKER_00]: and like that dude in prison, I think Pierre was like, you know,

[02:14:16] [SPEAKER_00]: oh, you should join the brotherhood dog.

[02:14:18] [SPEAKER_00]: And you're like, what the fuck?

[02:14:20] [SPEAKER_03]: He keeps calling it a stain or something.

[02:14:22] [SPEAKER_03]: I don't know.

[02:14:23] [SPEAKER_02]: It's like the French, you know,

[02:14:24] [SPEAKER_02]: it's just like when you had to call the French people.

[02:14:27] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I was like, this character is lower accurate.

[02:14:30] [SPEAKER_03]: I'm going to have to follow the rest of this game.

[02:14:33] [SPEAKER_02]: The lore of France.

[02:14:35] Yeah.

[02:14:38] [SPEAKER_02]: All right, well, I mean, I don't know how much we could talk about this more.

[02:14:42] [SPEAKER_02]: Now, how much of the story do you remember?

[02:14:44] [SPEAKER_02]: Because you seem to remember quite a bit.

[02:14:45] [SPEAKER_02]: It hasn't been that long since you played it.

[02:14:47] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I beat it like late last year from what I remember.

[02:14:50] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it's your Arno and I do not like Arno, but that's a whole another thing.

[02:14:56] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it's like his dad dies and then he gets like adopted

[02:14:59] [SPEAKER_00]: and then he's like growing up with this girl named Elise,

[02:15:02] [SPEAKER_00]: who's like his childhood friend and in shocker when they get older,

[02:15:06] [SPEAKER_00]: he gets like the hots for her and, you know, and he's trying to like see her

[02:15:10] [SPEAKER_00]: and they're just like, no, you're not allowed to see her.

[02:15:12] [SPEAKER_00]: And then you get thrown in prison.

[02:15:13] [SPEAKER_00]: And that's when you like become like like the guy starts

[02:15:18] [SPEAKER_00]: training you to be part of the assassins and then you join them

[02:15:21] [SPEAKER_00]: because and then there's, you know, like like you see Napoleon at one point.

[02:15:25] [SPEAKER_00]: I remember that

[02:15:27] [SPEAKER_00]: like the reign of terror starts happening and then you find out like Elise is

[02:15:31] [SPEAKER_00]: like a Templar and and then there creates like there's an attempt at conflict there.

[02:15:37] [SPEAKER_00]: You know, trying to have like, oh, like assassin in love with the Templar,

[02:15:40] [SPEAKER_00]: but I feel it doesn't go as far enough as it should.

[02:15:43] [SPEAKER_00]: And like most Assassin's Creed games,

[02:15:46] [SPEAKER_00]: the plot eventually just kind of devolves into like confusing shit

[02:15:49] [SPEAKER_00]: or I'm like, what the hell is going on at this point?

[02:15:52] [SPEAKER_02]: It's like Kingdom Hearts in the real world, which is Kingdom Hearts.

[02:15:56] [SPEAKER_00]: Weirdly enough, kind of, yeah, yeah.

[02:15:59] [SPEAKER_00]: But the story isn't really like the best part of that game, really.

[02:16:02] [SPEAKER_00]: Like again, like I don't like Arno at all.

[02:16:04] [SPEAKER_00]: I just think he's kind of boring.

[02:16:06] [SPEAKER_00]: Like he's just kind of a blank slate who doesn't have a lot

[02:16:09] [SPEAKER_00]: of like interesting personality to him.

[02:16:12] [SPEAKER_00]: Like the most personality has is when he's with Elise,

[02:16:14] [SPEAKER_00]: because I think Elise is a great character.

[02:16:16] [SPEAKER_00]: Like I kind of would have preferred playing her story than Arno's,

[02:16:18] [SPEAKER_00]: but it is what it is.

[02:16:22] [SPEAKER_00]: You know, like to me, Unity feels a lot like

[02:16:26] [SPEAKER_00]: Ubisoft is trying to create another Assassin's Creed 2.

[02:16:29] [SPEAKER_00]: Like they want to create like a new starting point,

[02:16:32] [SPEAKER_00]: like like a new etio, a new kind of starting point for the series

[02:16:35] [SPEAKER_00]: to build off of.

[02:16:37] [SPEAKER_00]: And I just don't think it really nailed the same way.

[02:16:39] [SPEAKER_00]: Because yeah, like like etio is a hard act to follow.

[02:16:43] [SPEAKER_00]: I think I think we can fairly we can easily say that.

[02:16:45] [SPEAKER_00]: Like there's been really good assassins in the series after him.

[02:16:47] [SPEAKER_00]: Like I really like Edward Kenway by Icazawa.

[02:16:51] [SPEAKER_00]: A lot of people like Cassandra from Odyssey, but

[02:16:54] [SPEAKER_00]: but etio is still like top tier for everybody because he was such a well rounded character.

[02:16:58] [SPEAKER_00]: And we got three great games where we got to see all sides of his personality.

[02:17:02] [SPEAKER_00]: And then there's that fantastic Assassin's Creed embers like short film

[02:17:07] [SPEAKER_00]: that we get to like see his witnesses death and all that.

[02:17:10] [SPEAKER_00]: And it's handled very well.

[02:17:12] [SPEAKER_00]: So it's been hard for just about any assassin to follow on from etio.

[02:17:17] [SPEAKER_00]: But they've they've tried to be smart about it, where they're like different

[02:17:20] [SPEAKER_00]: like they do like they have different personalities or they put them in different situations.

[02:17:24] [SPEAKER_00]: But Arno feels the most like they're trying to make another etio kind of character.

[02:17:29] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah. And it just to me, it just it falls flat personally.

[02:17:34] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I didn't really like me either.

[02:17:35] [SPEAKER_02]: I that's the thing about this is that apparently I played 62 hours of this game

[02:17:39] [SPEAKER_02]: and I have just almost no recollection of the story.

[02:17:43] [SPEAKER_02]: I did remember like the girl.

[02:17:46] [SPEAKER_02]: I didn't remember her name, but I remembered her being around.

[02:17:49] [SPEAKER_02]: I remember her being important, but that's really it.

[02:17:51] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't remember. I didn't even remember his Arno's voice.

[02:17:55] [SPEAKER_02]: So when I heard it for the first time, I was like,

[02:17:56] [SPEAKER_02]: oh, that's kind of not how I expected him to sound for some reason.

[02:17:59] [SPEAKER_02]: And then I was like, who was I expecting?

[02:18:01] [SPEAKER_02]: And then I looked up Assassin's Creed 2 and I was expecting etio.

[02:18:05] [SPEAKER_02]: I thought he was going to sound like etio.

[02:18:07] [SPEAKER_02]: So I don't know.

[02:18:08] [SPEAKER_00]: It doesn't sound like him, unfortunately, but.

[02:18:11] [SPEAKER_02]: Bizarre. Everything's bizarre about this game.

[02:18:14] [SPEAKER_00]: It is a bizarre game because, yeah, when it came out,

[02:18:16] [SPEAKER_00]: it got like shit on completely, as we had mentioned due to its

[02:18:19] [SPEAKER_00]: like technical problems and everything.

[02:18:21] [SPEAKER_00]: But like it's been 10 years since this games come out.

[02:18:24] [SPEAKER_00]: Jesus Christ, 10 years and the opinion on it has changed so much.

[02:18:30] [SPEAKER_00]: Like there are so many people now who would say Unity is one of

[02:18:32] [SPEAKER_00]: if not the best game in the entire series.

[02:18:34] [SPEAKER_03]: I think people should keep shitting on it.

[02:18:38] [SPEAKER_00]: Well, I think why they like it so much is because most of the bugs

[02:18:41] [SPEAKER_00]: have been fixed, most of them.

[02:18:44] [SPEAKER_00]: And and it was probably like a lot of younger people who like that

[02:18:47] [SPEAKER_00]: was one of the first AC games they ever played and they just got like sucked into it.

[02:18:51] [SPEAKER_00]: And that's why they have the opinion they have on it.

[02:18:54] [SPEAKER_00]: But I don't know.

[02:18:55] [SPEAKER_00]: I feel like comparing it to all the other games I've played in the series as a whole.

[02:18:59] [SPEAKER_00]: I think it's it's not like the worst of the bunch.

[02:19:02] [SPEAKER_00]: It might be like like the best of like the not good half.

[02:19:07] [SPEAKER_00]: You know what I mean?

[02:19:08] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, yeah. I know what you mean.

[02:19:10] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[02:19:10] [SPEAKER_02]: I think it's really poetic that the game this game is notorious for two things being

[02:19:14] [SPEAKER_02]: the it being co-op and it being extremely buggy at the beginning.

[02:19:19] [SPEAKER_02]: And now in 2024, 10 years later as we look back on it, our experience is ruined

[02:19:25] [SPEAKER_02]: because the co-op is unplayable because of technical issues.

[02:19:30] [SPEAKER_02]: I just thought that that was really that was a nice bow for this game.

[02:19:35] [SPEAKER_00]: That is yeah.

[02:19:36] [SPEAKER_02]: So if you want to play the game for a single player experience,

[02:19:38] [SPEAKER_02]: this game plays like butter.

[02:19:40] [SPEAKER_02]: It really runs like perfectly.

[02:19:42] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't know about on PC, but like on Xbox, I'm playing it.

[02:19:46] [SPEAKER_02]: I think this game is on Xbox one, right?

[02:19:48] [SPEAKER_02]: So it's just normally playable.

[02:19:50] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah. Yeah. It's on Xbox one.

[02:19:52] [SPEAKER_00]: You can play it on the series and that's how I played it.

[02:19:54] [SPEAKER_00]: And yeah, it plays just fine on there.

[02:19:56] [SPEAKER_00]: So I can't remember if this game had any Xbox one X enhancements.

[02:20:00] [SPEAKER_00]: It probably doesn't. But.

[02:20:04] [SPEAKER_00]: But like I haven't had weirdly enough,

[02:20:06] [SPEAKER_00]: I've occasionally had issues running Xbox one games on series.

[02:20:10] [SPEAKER_00]: But this really isn't one of them.

[02:20:13] [SPEAKER_00]: Well, it's I think like all the Assassin's Creed's

[02:20:17] [SPEAKER_00]: have had one issue or two while running it.

[02:20:19] [SPEAKER_00]: But I think that's just like a newbie soft thing.

[02:20:22] [SPEAKER_00]: You know? Yeah.

[02:20:23] [SPEAKER_02]: I think we're moving into final words territory.

[02:20:26] [SPEAKER_02]: It sounds like so the final words.

[02:20:29] [SPEAKER_02]: I think, you know, if you like Assassin's Creed,

[02:20:32] [SPEAKER_02]: if you want to see like a really lived in and interesting

[02:20:35] [SPEAKER_02]: the art direction for the world is really, really good and well put together.

[02:20:40] [SPEAKER_02]: You can see a lot of like different like locations

[02:20:42] [SPEAKER_02]: like the Notre Dame and stuff or Notre Dame.

[02:20:46] [SPEAKER_00]: Notre Dame.

[02:20:47] [SPEAKER_02]: One of those things you can go look at that.

[02:20:51] [SPEAKER_02]: It's it's a really cool looking game

[02:20:53] [SPEAKER_02]: and it's fun to just kind of run around in.

[02:20:57] [SPEAKER_02]: I can't speak to the story or the co-op in modern day

[02:21:00] [SPEAKER_02]: because the co-op didn't work.

[02:21:02] [SPEAKER_02]: But if you want to play a single player Assassin's Creed,

[02:21:05] [SPEAKER_02]: which is most of them, this is an interesting place

[02:21:07] [SPEAKER_02]: to pick the series back up.

[02:21:10] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I mean, if I would say if you're interested in the series,

[02:21:14] [SPEAKER_00]: I'd say you're better off playing all of them

[02:21:16] [SPEAKER_00]: just to sort of like get the vibe for it, you know?

[02:21:19] [SPEAKER_00]: Like if you want to see the entire history of the series.

[02:21:22] [SPEAKER_00]: But but if you just want like a game to start with,

[02:21:26] [SPEAKER_00]: like Unity is not where you should start, in my opinion, like at all.

[02:21:29] [SPEAKER_00]: I think it's like that's probably how you would find yourself

[02:21:33] [SPEAKER_00]: not interested in the games at all.

[02:21:34] [SPEAKER_00]: But yeah, like say like if you really like the French Revolution,

[02:21:39] [SPEAKER_00]: like sure, you play this one, I guess,

[02:21:40] [SPEAKER_00]: because what's cool is the Assassin's Creed games,

[02:21:42] [SPEAKER_00]: especially later on would introduce more like real life people into them

[02:21:46] [SPEAKER_00]: and you can kind of interact with them, which is always kind of interesting, you know?

[02:21:50] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it's like what's his name?

[02:21:52] [SPEAKER_00]: Marquis de Sade is in this game

[02:21:53] [SPEAKER_00]: and he was a very interesting character in the real world as well.

[02:21:58] [SPEAKER_00]: But my favorite is always Assassin's Creed Syndicate

[02:22:01] [SPEAKER_00]: because there's a couple side missions you do for Karl Marx,

[02:22:04] [SPEAKER_00]: which is really cool.

[02:22:06] [SPEAKER_00]: Like literally you meet him, you talk to him,

[02:22:08] [SPEAKER_00]: like you you you prevent him from getting assassinated during speeches.

[02:22:12] [SPEAKER_02]: It's great. He wears a lampshade on his head.

[02:22:14] [SPEAKER_02]: It's fucking sick.

[02:22:15] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, that's part of the game.

[02:22:17] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, if you ever do syndicate, we can come back and talk about it.

[02:22:20] [SPEAKER_00]: I have more positive things to say about syndicate overall.

[02:22:23] [SPEAKER_02]: You this the one because you got the horse carriages

[02:22:25] [SPEAKER_02]: and you could fucking slam into shit, right?

[02:22:28] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah. Yes, syndicate is wild.

[02:22:31] [SPEAKER_02]: Rachel, what are your final words for this game?

[02:22:33] [SPEAKER_02]: Glowing, I assume.

[02:22:36] [SPEAKER_03]: Fucking sucks.

[02:22:39] [SPEAKER_03]: Not fan, not for me.

[02:22:42] [SPEAKER_03]: You're here to hear it.

[02:22:43] [SPEAKER_03]: It's it's, you know, it looks nice.

[02:22:45] [SPEAKER_03]: That's cool.

[02:22:47] [SPEAKER_03]: The map is cool.

[02:22:48] [SPEAKER_03]: I'll give them that and that's all I'll give them.

[02:22:51] [SPEAKER_02]: If you are a fan of Fortnite,

[02:22:53] [SPEAKER_02]: you're probably not going to like this game.

[02:22:54] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, for a game that's 10 years old, it does look really nice.

[02:22:58] [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, it is crazy that it's 10 years old looking at like

[02:23:02] [SPEAKER_02]: the crowds and shit.

[02:23:03] [SPEAKER_02]: Like it was probably way too ambitious for its time,

[02:23:06] [SPEAKER_02]: which is why it was so buggy.

[02:23:07] [SPEAKER_02]: But oh, for sure.

[02:23:08] [SPEAKER_03]: Into Assassin's Creed just play magic instead.

[02:23:13] [SPEAKER_02]: Play magic, the gathering.

[02:23:15] [SPEAKER_00]: There you go.

[02:23:16] [SPEAKER_02]: All right, Thurak, thank you so much

[02:23:18] [SPEAKER_02]: for fucking coming on, man. This was this was great.

[02:23:21] [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, yeah, despite our various technical issues,

[02:23:23] [SPEAKER_00]: it's been it's been a good time.

[02:23:26] [SPEAKER_02]: I fucking wish we got you came to turn your fucking filter on

[02:23:30] [SPEAKER_02]: like say do your do your second plug with the filter on the robot filter.

[02:23:36] [SPEAKER_00]: No, I'm not doing that.

[02:23:37] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, man.

[02:23:38] [SPEAKER_00]: OK, you can add it. Add it in post. How about that?

[02:23:40] [SPEAKER_02]: How do you do? OK, I'll figure it out.

[02:23:42] [SPEAKER_00]: There you go. Let me know.

[02:23:43] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah. So so once again, I am Thurak.

[02:23:45] [SPEAKER_00]: I'm the cohost of the 3D0 experience,

[02:23:47] [SPEAKER_00]: a podcast dedicated to the obscure 90s console of 3D0.

[02:23:50] [SPEAKER_00]: So wherever you're listening to this podcast,

[02:23:52] [SPEAKER_00]: you can probably find it there.

[02:23:53] [SPEAKER_00]: Just type 3D0 experience in and you will see it.

[02:23:56] [SPEAKER_00]: I also, as I said, I stream on Twitch.

[02:23:58] [SPEAKER_00]: I've been getting through the Sega Genesis libraries.

[02:24:01] [SPEAKER_00]: I do that Thursdays at 7 p.m. Eastern Standard Time.

[02:24:04] [SPEAKER_00]: So go to twitch.tv slash Thrac 94 and you can watch me do that.

[02:24:08] [SPEAKER_00]: But if you can't, the VODs are up at YouTube.com slash Thrac 94.

[02:24:12] [SPEAKER_00]: So you can watch the past like 14 episodes where I've been doing this.

[02:24:17] [SPEAKER_02]: And also you can watch them on Superpodnetwork.com,

[02:24:20] [SPEAKER_02]: which is we are all connected to.

[02:24:22] [SPEAKER_02]: We like have all of our videos and shit going on over there.

[02:24:25] [SPEAKER_02]: Yes, I don't know how it works.

[02:24:27] [SPEAKER_00]: Well, yeah, the VOD uploads and all that.

[02:24:44] [SPEAKER_02]: I think it's one of those mana games that it just came out on Game Pass

[02:24:47] [SPEAKER_02]: and one of them is co-op.

[02:24:49] [SPEAKER_02]: So we're going to be doing that probably if not, I don't know,

[02:24:52] [SPEAKER_02]: Fortnite Festival or something. Bye.
