[00:00:00] Yeah, why is that dog shitting so much? I came home and picked up an entire golf bag full of dog shit. I don't like dogs. I don't like shit. I keep having to pick up dog shit. I walk into the kitchen. I put a Tupperware container on the side. It's full of dog shit. Big surprise. Dog shit everywhere. I look in the closet. Dog shit. Like, it's just fucking dog shit.

[00:00:24] I love the vague measurements too. She's like, I filled up an entire Game Boy Advance carrying bag with dog shit. I came home from golf. They filled up an entire two gallon. They're not old. I guess that's being precise.

[00:00:39] My dad told me, oh that must have been the shit. They ruined his life. That must have been shit.

[00:00:45] Yeah. I'll do drugs.

[00:00:48] That movie is fucking amazing.

[00:00:50] You ever see the moon man?

[00:00:54] You ever see the moon on weed?

[00:00:57] On weed?

[00:00:59] We fucking just, we got done, my voice is a little shot still because we just got done going to two different concerts this week.

[00:01:06] Yeah, that's wild.

[00:01:07] Oh yeah.

[00:01:08] Shadow of Intent?

[00:01:09] Yeah, Shadow of Intent, which is crazy.

[00:01:11] Who else played on that one?

[00:01:12] The three bands I didn't know.

[00:01:14] Maybe Rachel will remember them.

[00:01:16] Ingested was one of them, yeah.

[00:01:17] Ingested is fucking good.

[00:01:19] And Flesh God Apocalypse was the headliner.

[00:01:21] Oh, fuck.

[00:01:22] They are fucked.

[00:01:24] Yeah, they were really cool.

[00:01:25] I actually had no idea who they were going in.

[00:01:26] Oh really?

[00:01:27] What the fuck?

[00:01:27] The lady came out and they had a fucking piano and shit and I'm like, whoa.

[00:01:31] Dude.

[00:01:31] Is this gonna be like Opeth?

[00:01:33] And then it wasn't like Opeth.

[00:01:34] No.

[00:01:34] It is.

[00:01:35] It's more like Lacuna Coil, which is wild that I haven't heard of them before then.

[00:01:40] Have you?

[00:01:40] Because I used to love Lacuna Coil.

[00:01:41] Did you hear the new Lacuna Coil song?

[00:01:43] No.

[00:01:44] It's...

[00:01:45] Or maybe.

[00:01:45] I mean, it depends on how new it is.

[00:01:46] I have a weird thing about like, when a band puts out something new, if the quality of the production is less than what the last album was, or if it's like slightly odd, if I'm used to like one type of production, and it's like slightly off, I'm like...

[00:02:05] What the fuck did they do here?

[00:02:07] Lacuna's my favorite Final Fantasy 8 character.

[00:02:09] Please continue.

[00:02:10] Yeah, Lacuna.

[00:02:11] That's the...

[00:02:12] Lacuna Matata, baby.

[00:02:14] That's the best song in the entire game of Final Fantasy 8 is his battle music.

[00:02:18] Yeah, it was written by Ronnie James Dio.

[00:02:24] And Slash.

[00:02:26] Composed by Zach.

[00:02:27] Slash was in the room.

[00:02:28] He didn't do fuck all of them.

[00:02:30] He just nodded whenever things sounded good, and then he shook his head if it was a bad roof.

[00:02:35] And then Lars Ulrich tried to poke his head in there like, get the fuck out, Lars!

[00:02:39] We don't need you with your fucking tin can snare drum.

[00:02:42] He keeps sneaking in and playing, and then you would immediately notice because there's just...

[00:02:46] Where's that fucking root beer can someone's hitting?

[00:02:50] What the fuck?

[00:02:52] It's so funny because like, normally their albums sound really good, but for some reason, on St. Anger, he was just like...

[00:02:59] They were like, so Lars, we can add a little tininess to the snare drum.

[00:03:03] And he was just like, more.

[00:03:05] More.

[00:03:05] The dude was on cocaine.

[00:03:06] More.

[00:03:07] Make it sound like trash cans.

[00:03:09] There's no stopping him.

[00:03:10] Every hit of the snare drum in that album is just...

[00:03:16] Pulling out the WD-40.

[00:03:18] Like he's Carrot Top, he's got the prop.

[00:03:22] My favorite song.

[00:03:23] Me and Aaron are slurping water into the microphone.

[00:03:26] That's basically all James Hetfield did, that whole fucking...

[00:03:29] I almost said episode.

[00:03:31] That whole album, dude.

[00:03:33] Fucking...

[00:03:33] That whole episode.

[00:03:34] There was that one song, my favorite episode.

[00:03:37] There was that one song where he's going like, tick, tick, tick, tock.

[00:03:40] Frantic.

[00:03:41] That's frantic.

[00:03:42] Yeah, frantic, tick, tick.

[00:03:43] Oh my God.

[00:03:44] What a piece of shit album, dude.

[00:03:46] Fucking sucks.

[00:03:47] There's a YouTube video where it's like, this guy remade all the songs and it's like, this

[00:03:51] album worth good.

[00:03:53] And it's actually really good.

[00:03:55] And it sounds like Metallica, so it's really bizarre.

[00:04:22] And I showed it to my mom and she got this though.

[00:04:24] She likes...

[00:04:25] She thinks Metallica can do no wrong.

[00:04:27] And she doesn't like it when I talk shit about them.

[00:04:30] Dick.

[00:04:31] Dick, dick, dick, cock.

[00:04:33] Dick, dick, dick, dick.

[00:04:35] Dini, to me, me, me, dini.

[00:04:41] Fuck, I hate that fucking album so much.

[00:04:44] You livin' a lie, yeah, you livin' a lie.

[00:04:46] Yeah.

[00:04:49] It literally sounds like Timmy being like, livin' a lie, blah, blah, livin' a lie.

[00:04:54] Or whatever Timmy says.

[00:04:56] I think it is livin' a lie.

[00:04:58] Yeah.

[00:04:58] In that fucking Lords of the Underworld song.

[00:05:00] I know that reference too.

[00:05:02] A lot of deep cuts today.

[00:05:04] Darkness fills my heart with pain.

[00:05:05] Yeah!

[00:05:07] And the girls start to sleep with girls.

[00:05:10] I just love the Timmy!

[00:05:12] It's like...

[00:05:13] In the Lords of the Underworld!

[00:05:15] In the Lords of the Underworld!

[00:05:19] God bless Matt Stone and Trey Parker.

[00:05:21] Oh my God.

[00:05:22] God bless Timmy.

[00:05:22] To the Lords of the Underworld.

[00:05:24] To the fucking American treasure.

[00:05:25] Protect them at all costs.

[00:05:28] I go...

[00:05:29] What are we doing?

[00:05:30] We're going...

[00:05:31] We're going to Casa Bonita.

[00:05:33] Yeah.

[00:05:33] Oh my God.

[00:05:34] I would kill to go to Casa Bonita.

[00:05:36] They have that new documentary.

[00:05:37] Is that a real place?

[00:05:37] They bought it!

[00:05:38] Yeah, they have a documentary on Paramount Plus that like kind of documents...

[00:05:43] They're going through...

[00:05:45] Sorry.

[00:05:45] Going through like remodeling and rebuilding and basically trying to bring Casa Bonita back.

[00:05:51] But yeah, I haven't watched it yet but it looks kind of cool.

[00:05:54] Hello and welcome to Gaming Together Co-operative Podcast.

[00:05:58] Each while we play through a cooperative experience related to you the listeners, this game is the

[00:06:02] Crim of Co-op.

[00:06:03] Fuck.

[00:06:03] Do something better at playing solo.

[00:06:05] I'm your host, Nave.

[00:06:06] And we're with my co-op partners.

[00:06:07] First off would be Rachel.

[00:06:08] She hasn't...

[00:06:09] Talk, Rachel.

[00:06:10] Say something.

[00:06:11] Talk!

[00:06:12] Are you muted?

[00:06:13] We...

[00:06:13] Have we done this whole thing and she's muted?

[00:06:16] She's been muted the whole time I think.

[00:06:18] Oh my God.

[00:06:19] Rachel's muted.

[00:06:20] Hold on.

[00:06:21] What the fuck?

[00:06:22] I thought she just wasn't talking but she's probably like...

[00:06:26] He's been just fucking ignoring me.

[00:06:28] Living a lie.

[00:06:31] Bring it to the car.

[00:06:34] Okay, hold on.

[00:06:35] Fuck.

[00:06:35] We gotta fucking fix this.

[00:06:38] Can't believe we didn't sound check first thing in the fucking...

[00:06:42] What are we doing here?

[00:06:43] That's how you know it's gonna be a bad episode.

[00:06:48] The call is coming from inside the house.

[00:06:50] I don't know that one.

[00:06:52] Is that for Scream?

[00:06:54] I think it's Scream.

[00:06:55] I think it's Scream.

[00:06:55] Okay, nevermind.

[00:06:56] I did know it.

[00:06:56] It's one of the stranger calls, isn't it?

[00:07:00] That sounds right.

[00:07:00] Oh, maybe it is, yeah.

[00:07:01] Have you checked the children?

[00:07:03] Have you checked the freezer?

[00:07:05] The call's coming from inside the freezer.

[00:07:08] Oh my God.

[00:07:09] Just chillin'.

[00:07:11] Killin'.

[00:07:11] He's grilling some hamburgs.

[00:07:14] Scary movie's tied.

[00:07:15] Dude, fucking Xbox, they gave away Saw, the first one.

[00:07:18] Like today.

[00:07:20] Like today.

[00:07:20] The best in the game of the series.

[00:07:22] Yeah, they give stuff away for Game Pass subscribers.

[00:07:25] Just like the movie?

[00:07:26] Yeah, the movie.

[00:07:27] They gave away one of the Robert Downey Jr.

[00:07:30] I mean, Rob Zombie.

[00:07:31] I don't know how I got those two minutes.

[00:07:33] Robert Downey Jr. presents Halloween.

[00:07:37] He's in blackface.

[00:07:37] Just Iron Man on cocaine.

[00:07:39] I don't know, I want him in blackface, like from Tropic Thunder.

[00:07:42] He's just that character, but he's evil.

[00:07:44] I love how after all the things that have been quote unquote canceled from like movies

[00:07:49] and shit, everybody still goes back to that one and they're like, nah, that's okay,

[00:07:51] leave that one alone.

[00:07:52] He fucking made it work.

[00:07:54] He did it.

[00:07:55] Okay.

[00:07:56] He succeeded.

[00:07:58] It'd be different if it was like, I guess if he did like a different accent or cause

[00:08:02] like that Always Sunny episode where they're doing a Leetha Buckeh 7 or whatever.

[00:08:07] That got taken off.

[00:08:08] Yeah.

[00:08:09] I never got to see that one.

[00:08:11] That we just fucking got worse.

[00:08:13] Holy shit.

[00:08:14] We figured out last episode that there is a That's So Raven episode where she calls someone

[00:08:19] the N word and they just cut it like instantly and I went and found it and you can barely

[00:08:24] tell because there's like eight people screaming at once.

[00:08:27] But like, you're like, if you listen real hard, it does sound like she called someone

[00:08:30] a fruity N word.

[00:08:32] And so.

[00:08:32] No way.

[00:08:33] Yeah.

[00:08:34] So now it just cuts instantly to the next part.

[00:08:37] It cuts right as soon as she goes.

[00:08:39] Yeah.

[00:08:41] It's really good editing.

[00:08:43] That is so Raven.

[00:08:45] Did I do the intro?

[00:08:46] I don't remember.

[00:08:47] So Raven.

[00:08:47] You may as well just do it over.

[00:08:49] Yeah, do it over.

[00:08:50] No.

[00:08:50] Nah, fuck it.

[00:08:51] We ball.

[00:08:52] Rachel, say hi.

[00:08:53] Hi.

[00:08:54] Uh, we also have Aaron from Super Pod Saga and something else.

[00:09:00] Retro Rehab.

[00:09:01] Yep.

[00:09:01] Hello.

[00:09:02] Hey, hello.

[00:09:03] Now we also got Jerry.

[00:09:04] Yes.

[00:09:05] Jerry's from Retro Rehab as well.

[00:09:06] He's the other.

[00:09:07] Hi.

[00:09:13] Wait, Rachel.

[00:09:14] Okay, Rachel.

[00:09:14] Fuck that side boy never die.

[00:09:17] Whatever the fuck that stupid song is.

[00:09:19] I don't know.

[00:09:20] I've noticed.

[00:09:20] That's literally what the song is.

[00:09:22] It's just broken side will never die, I think.

[00:09:24] Sweet.

[00:09:24] They just say that over and over again.

[00:09:26] And squeal like pigs.

[00:09:28] Listeners, please look up that song.

[00:09:30] Along with the one we mentioned in the Viva Pinata episode.

[00:09:33] The, uh...

[00:09:34] Oh, what was that?

[00:09:35] What was that band again?

[00:09:36] It was a really shitty one.

[00:09:38] Um...

[00:09:38] Uh, Creed?

[00:09:39] You better not be talking about Creed.

[00:09:41] No.

[00:09:42] No, I would never.

[00:09:43] I would never talk about...

[00:09:45] I don't know.

[00:09:46] I don't remember what the fuck it was.

[00:09:47] It's...

[00:09:47] Design the Skyline.

[00:09:48] There we go.

[00:09:49] Oh my God!

[00:09:50] Yeah, I would have never remembered their name.

[00:09:51] Yep.

[00:09:52] Yeah, that was terrible.

[00:09:53] I don't think I remembered to put them in the thumbnail either.

[00:09:55] I don't remember if I did or not.

[00:09:57] That's okay.

[00:09:58] Oh God.

[00:09:58] We're having a lot of technical issues.

[00:10:00] Things are going a little wild.

[00:10:01] I don't...

[00:10:02] Uh, Jerry, say hi again, just in case it didn't pop up.

[00:10:04] Hi.

[00:10:04] That's Jerry, everyone.

[00:10:05] Connect that voice.

[00:10:07] That sultry, seductive voice with that face that you can't see.

[00:10:11] That's right.

[00:10:12] We are a gaming podcast.

[00:10:13] All these people have been on the show a bunch of times.

[00:10:16] Go listen to their stuff.

[00:10:17] We're going to talk about the games we're playing.

[00:10:18] My voice is a little fucked up because I've been in concerts.

[00:10:21] I'm pretty sure that was recorded already.

[00:10:23] I guess I'll just talk about my game real quick because I hated it and I'm sad and I

[00:10:26] don't want to talk about it.

[00:10:27] It's Mortal Kombat 1's DLC, Chaos Reigns.

[00:10:30] I was pretty sad whenever I was talking about it last week.

[00:10:34] And, um, yeah, I only had like an hour left of the whole thing.

[00:10:38] That thing is like two hours long.

[00:10:39] I'm really disappointed in it.

[00:10:41] I threw it in CT or fuck it.

[00:10:43] I'm sad.

[00:10:43] Everything sucked.

[00:10:44] All the things I complained about are even worse as the thing goes on.

[00:10:50] And, uh, it's not worth it.

[00:10:52] Except, I mean, like, you know, uh, uh, noob Saibot is fucking awesome to play, to fight

[00:10:57] as.

[00:10:57] So, I mean, like if you want to get the fighters, then yeah, get noob Saibot.

[00:11:01] Also, uh, Sektor is really fucking fun.

[00:11:04] Syrax sucks ass.

[00:11:05] I fucking hated Syrax.

[00:11:06] Is Syrax the yellow one or the red one?

[00:11:09] Uh, Syrax is the yellow one and Sektor's the red one.

[00:11:12] Yeah.

[00:11:13] I've always been a Syrax man.

[00:11:16] Yeah.

[00:11:16] I've always liked Syrax more too, but Sektor just fucks in this game.

[00:11:20] I, she's like a rush down, like really in your face.

[00:11:23] That's just like my play style.

[00:11:24] I just like to constantly be running in a straight line at my enemy.

[00:11:28] I mean, extremely predictable.

[00:11:30] Yeah.

[00:11:31] You, you're going to know what I'm going to do at any moment.

[00:11:34] It's going to be run that way.

[00:11:36] But, uh, yeah, Mortal Kombat one, the characters are fun to play as the other DLCs.

[00:11:41] The guest characters aren't released yet.

[00:11:43] So I guess they're just going to release like in a couple of months, like one at a time.

[00:11:47] I really wanted to play ghost face.

[00:11:49] That's really weird that we started talking about scream, but yeah, ghost face is one of the DLC characters.

[00:11:54] And that's the one I'm most excited that and Conan for some reason.

[00:11:57] I'm like, Oh Brian really?

[00:11:59] Yeah.

[00:12:01] He's fucking eight feet tall.

[00:12:02] He's the tallest character.

[00:12:03] And I'm all mortal combat history.

[00:12:05] Is it Conan the barbarian?

[00:12:07] Or is it like, Oh, okay.

[00:12:10] What other Conan's do you know?

[00:12:11] It's fucking fate.

[00:12:12] Those two.

[00:12:13] I don't know.

[00:12:14] Fucking.

[00:12:14] I thought it was going to be like some, I mean, there's detective character.

[00:12:18] Oh yeah.

[00:12:18] Yeah.

[00:12:19] Yeah.

[00:12:19] There you go.

[00:12:20] I thought it was going to be some mortal combat original motherfucker.

[00:12:22] Who's eight feet fucking tall and just like towers over Cyrax and just bends them over and shit.

[00:12:29] Yeah.

[00:12:29] Conan pet detective.

[00:12:31] Garrus is the one that bends people over.

[00:12:33] That's true.

[00:12:34] I don't remember what I was going to fucking say.

[00:12:35] I'm really upset and saddened by this game.

[00:12:38] Rachel, do you have anything to say?

[00:12:39] You watched me play it.

[00:12:40] Do you even have any memory of it?

[00:12:43] Um, Wakanda forever, you know?

[00:12:46] Wakanda forever.

[00:12:46] Right.

[00:12:47] Yes.

[00:12:49] That's funny.

[00:12:49] Black Panther's in that?

[00:12:51] Yeah.

[00:12:51] It's one of the bodyguards.

[00:12:53] Yeah.

[00:12:53] It's Cyrax.

[00:12:54] Oh.

[00:12:56] So Marvel is officially in the cinematic universe of mortal combat.

[00:13:00] It's crazy that the MCU and the DCU, I guess also came together.

[00:13:08] Uh, what are you playing today?

[00:13:09] What about the AC DCU?

[00:13:11] That was cool.

[00:13:11] I played a fortnight for like four hours earlier.

[00:13:15] That was, that was terrible, man.

[00:13:18] Uh, a lot of, a lot of losing.

[00:13:21] Did you guys fucking see?

[00:13:23] Look at this.

[00:13:24] This fucking, I guess Aaron Rodgers got fucked up.

[00:13:27] It's only like two seconds long, but it says Aaron Rodgers crawling like he needs a revive in Fortnite.

[00:13:32] Look at him.

[00:13:35] Isn't that exactly what it looks like?

[00:13:39] That was, that was me.

[00:13:41] Several times.

[00:13:43] Now honestly, everyone just kept crashing.

[00:13:45] So I don't know that we finished a single match the whole time because someone crashed at like in every game it felt like.

[00:13:54] I don't know what's going on with their servers.

[00:13:57] It's bad.

[00:13:58] I'm, I, maybe there's like a solar flare happening right now cause we're fucking crashing over here.

[00:14:03] Or maybe my internet's just bad, but I would rather just blame it on the universe.

[00:14:06] Well, I don't think it could be like just the internet here because they were all crashing.

[00:14:11] Like one of the dudes was like in Arizona and he crashed.

[00:14:15] So isn't Arizona like next door though?

[00:14:18] I don't think it's like, it's like right.

[00:14:19] It's like right.

[00:14:19] It's not there.

[00:14:20] Yeah, but it's like not here with our internet.

[00:14:25] Where is Arizona on a map?

[00:14:27] I don't know.

[00:14:27] I'm gonna look it up.

[00:14:28] It's like just north of Alaska.

[00:14:29] I think it's Russia.

[00:14:32] You almost had me Jerry.

[00:14:33] No, no, no.

[00:14:35] It's next to New Mexico.

[00:14:36] It's two states away.

[00:14:38] We've got a Breaking Bad right next to us.

[00:14:41] And then Arizona is over there by California.

[00:14:43] Nice.

[00:14:43] Breaking Bad.

[00:14:44] All right.

[00:14:45] So that's what Rachel's been, I mean, have you been playing anything else?

[00:14:48] I mean, I don't know.

[00:14:49] What are you playing whenever I'm gone?

[00:14:50] You can, you play like fucking 17 different horror games.

[00:14:53] I have a hustle bubble.

[00:14:54] Uh, it started layers of fear.

[00:14:57] That's, that's fun.

[00:14:59] It's cute.

[00:14:59] Hey, blooper team.

[00:15:01] Look at that.

[00:15:02] Yup.

[00:15:02] Dude going crazy.

[00:15:04] Drinking lots of wine.

[00:15:05] Drinking rats.

[00:15:06] I assume.

[00:15:07] That guy drank a lot of wine.

[00:15:09] I haven't beat it yet.

[00:15:10] So we'll see.

[00:15:11] Yeah.

[00:15:12] Whoa.

[00:15:12] Spoilers.

[00:15:12] Pretty sick walking.

[00:15:14] It is.

[00:15:19] A good walking sim.

[00:15:20] That was like the first one though, that I remember playing where it like really fucked

[00:15:24] with you.

[00:15:25] Like you'd go in a room and be like, I don't, I can't figure out what I'm supposed to be

[00:15:28] looking at here.

[00:15:28] And then you just like turn around four times.

[00:15:31] What the fuck?

[00:15:32] Like I'm in a different room now.

[00:15:34] Yeah.

[00:15:34] I just remember like standing there being in this little room and I'm like, what the fuck?

[00:15:38] I've spun around so many times.

[00:15:40] So then I just look up.

[00:15:43] Yeah.

[00:15:43] It's just like this hellscape above me.

[00:15:47] It's wild actually.

[00:15:49] Yeah.

[00:15:49] It's pretty cool.

[00:15:50] Broken side corners you at a Denny's.

[00:15:52] What?

[00:15:53] Yeah.

[00:15:54] That's, that's broken side.

[00:15:56] That's broken side.

[00:15:57] Terrible music at you until you die.

[00:15:58] And you've got like the shock.

[00:16:00] I don't know what a fucking, uh, listeners go listen to broken side.

[00:16:03] Yeah.

[00:16:04] Or don't, don't do that.

[00:16:06] Don't do that to yourself.

[00:16:07] Go listen to God apocalypse or whatever.

[00:16:10] Flash God apocalypse.

[00:16:12] They're almost out there.

[00:16:12] Come on, man.

[00:16:14] All right.

[00:16:14] Well, we're talking about bloober team.

[00:16:16] Let's flip over to Jerry.

[00:16:17] Cause Jerry's been playing some bloober.

[00:16:19] I just got my hands on silent hill too.

[00:16:25] And I got us tell you, I got to tell you, I have to tell the folks, I got to let the

[00:16:29] world know this game had every right to flop.

[00:16:35] I mean, I was going to get it and play it anyways.

[00:16:38] Cause I'm used to being very disappointed by silent hill, but I still managed to find things to like, even in like games like homecoming and downpour.

[00:16:48] Like I actually don't hate those games.

[00:16:52] So the fact that we got a silent hill to remake that doesn't suck.

[00:16:59] And like Navy you in our group chat, you even were like, I'm just a little worried with the gameplay within 15 minutes of playing this thing.

[00:17:07] I was like, cause I was also very like, there's a couple of things I was skeptical about.

[00:17:12] Number one was how well the voice acting and like the actual performances were going to be.

[00:17:17] And then the other thing, cause like even in the original, they were like kind of flat and kind of, but like it, it kind of went with like the game and just the weirdness of the game.

[00:17:26] But like when you do a remake, you kind of want it to be a bit more, I don't know, like have a bit professional.

[00:17:32] Yeah.

[00:17:33] Like it should have a little bit more of its chops together or something.

[00:17:36] But like the big thing for me was the, the gameplay, like, wasn't going to feel clunky.

[00:17:41] Cause I mean, you're probably familiar with the rest of the blooper stuff.

[00:17:44] Anytime blooper tries to do anything outside of just walking, it usually feels like garbage.

[00:17:50] Yeah.

[00:17:51] And again, I love blooper team.

[00:17:53] Like I, I do enjoy their games, but they don't have a great track record of having their stuff feel well put together when they try to do other new things.

[00:18:04] Um, but silent hill two is fucking good.

[00:18:09] And it is very scary.

[00:18:13] Like my soul left my fucking body in the, in the two hours that I've been playing it.

[00:18:18] I have had the shit scared scared out of me so many fucking times.

[00:18:23] And like, I loved Alan wake to Alan wake two was kind of like, this is what kind of what I want a new silent hill to feel like.

[00:18:30] Well, that's exactly what silent hill to remake feels like.

[00:18:33] And it is way fucking scarier than Alan wake two.

[00:18:37] I really love an Alan wake to, uh, like how, especially when you're playing as Alan wake, there's all of the shadows everywhere.

[00:18:43] And then the enemies you're fighting are shadows.

[00:18:45] So like, no, you just don't know which one's going to start freaking out and coming at you until like you play after a long time.

[00:18:51] You're like, okay, I can kind of see which animations I remember that one.

[00:18:55] So that guy's going to hit me, but have you ever played the original silent hill two?

[00:19:00] Uh, yeah. I mean, I played it on the Xbox 360 thing, which is a downgrade from the original.

[00:19:07] Cause I think both of those games, I don't think silent hill two had as much fucked up about it as silent hill three did because silent hill three was like a beta build or something that they had to recreate.

[00:19:18] Are you talking about the HD collection that came out?

[00:19:20] Yeah. That was bad. That was almost unplayable.

[00:19:24] Yeah. I played it on there, but I still really enjoyed it.

[00:19:27] Yeah. Um, I've never played it on like original hardware.

[00:19:30] I don't think I'll ever be able to do that, but that was my experience with the dollars now.

[00:19:35] Yeah. Really a shame.

[00:19:36] Um, I will say that one thing that has been surprising me and I, it's, it's been a pleasant surprise is how different, but the same the enemies feel.

[00:19:49] So like, you know, like the weird twitchy guys that walk around with like, it looks like they got their hands like wrapped around their stomach.

[00:19:57] I mean, the first few of those guys are just doing what you normally think they would be doing.

[00:20:02] But then at a certain point, one of them popped out from a closet.

[00:20:09] I was just looking around this room and one just popped out and it, it scared the shit out of me because normally you get the indication that something's near with the, the, the static on the radio.

[00:20:21] Yeah.

[00:20:21] But that wasn't, that wasn't happening in this room.

[00:20:24] So I was like, okay, so I'm safe.

[00:20:25] And then this fucking thing just did like a little sidestep in frame in this like closet or room or something.

[00:20:34] And it fucked me up.

[00:20:36] Like it was so goddamn scary.

[00:20:38] And then like, just seeing the little dudes, uh, like scurrying, all right, like, you know, when you, uh, when you shoot them and they kind of like fall down and then they kind of like do their little, like, yeah.

[00:20:48] Caterpillar snake looking thing.

[00:20:49] Just like seeing those things scurrying around from out underneath like cars when you least expect it also has been scary to me.

[00:20:58] I think I'm really close to seeing pyramid head.

[00:21:02] Cause I'm in the, I'm in the, I'm in the apartments.

[00:21:06] Pyramid head is such a cool character.

[00:21:08] He is.

[00:21:09] Yeah.

[00:21:09] It's unfortunate how cool he is because they're always fucking like milking the shit out of them, even though it's supposed to be a very personal, like James specific thing.

[00:21:18] Yeah.

[00:21:18] But, um, I forgot what I was going on.

[00:21:19] Oh no, they were, there are mods already.

[00:21:22] Oh, they're like people are cause the, the cut scenes are like, I guess mocap or something.

[00:21:27] I don't remember what they said, but they already like, all they have to do is just put a new texture on the models and then they'll be inside of the cut scene.

[00:21:34] So they're just like, yes.

[00:21:36] Like, yeah, I see something already because the, uh, the cut scenes are capped at 30 frames per second, but there's literally just like a mod that you can download and just throw it in a folder.

[00:21:46] And then it just unlocks the frames for the cut scenes.

[00:21:49] Yeah.

[00:21:50] Here it is.

[00:21:51] It's a, it's this guy, Lance McDonald's, a silent two remake using 100% real time rendered cut scenes.

[00:21:58] It's going to make a modding way funnier.

[00:22:00] And then somebody, I mean, you describe what you see.

[00:22:04] Nave, whatever you did made your mic sound kind of like, it's like hissing.

[00:22:09] Does anybody else hear that?

[00:22:10] Yes.

[00:22:11] I'm hissing.

[00:22:12] I think when you, when you plugged in your, your headset, maybe.

[00:22:17] Oh my God.

[00:22:17] No.

[00:22:18] How about now?

[00:22:19] Oh, it sounds like the beginning of like a doom song.

[00:22:22] It's like.

[00:22:25] Oh no.

[00:22:26] Hold on.

[00:22:27] I can't have that.

[00:22:29] Take it out.

[00:22:30] Cause like, I don't hear it.

[00:22:31] What?

[00:22:32] Really?

[00:22:32] Yeah.

[00:22:33] I don't hear shit.

[00:22:34] I for sure hear it.

[00:22:35] Do you still hear it right now?

[00:22:36] Yes.

[00:22:37] So it's not, it has nothing to do with my headset.

[00:22:40] Did I do something to my mic?

[00:22:42] There you go.

[00:22:43] Oh, I might've.

[00:22:44] Hey, yeah.

[00:22:44] My cable was.

[00:22:46] Oh, I hear it again.

[00:22:47] Dude.

[00:22:47] This is a fucking haunted episode.

[00:22:51] The God's just doing this happening.

[00:22:54] Did I put on a curse?

[00:22:55] This is the first time I've ever worn this sweater.

[00:22:58] This is my spooky Halloween sweater that I got.

[00:23:01] It just looks like a tool cover.

[00:23:03] What if it does?

[00:23:04] I bet you could edit it out.

[00:23:05] Maybe.

[00:23:05] Otherwise you could try.

[00:23:07] There you go.

[00:23:09] There you go.

[00:23:10] Okay.

[00:23:10] Well, let me just never move again.

[00:23:12] I think it's back.

[00:23:15] I think it's me.

[00:23:17] Oh, it must be.

[00:23:18] I can hear it too.

[00:23:19] Wait.

[00:23:19] Hold on.

[00:23:20] I'm so dumb.

[00:23:22] Rachel's like, I can't hear it.

[00:23:24] And then.

[00:23:25] No.

[00:23:26] Cause I can't hear anything.

[00:23:28] And then.

[00:23:29] So I muted my mic and you're just like, it's gone.

[00:23:32] And then I unmute it.

[00:23:34] And you're like, no, dude.

[00:23:35] I'm sitting here, dude.

[00:23:36] And I did that twice.

[00:23:37] I unplugged my headset.

[00:23:38] That's definitely me.

[00:23:39] I unplugged my headset.

[00:23:40] And I was like, this doesn't make any sense.

[00:23:43] How?

[00:23:43] If it was me plugging my headset in, then why is it still here?

[00:23:46] And why can I hear it?

[00:23:52] You're going to be fucking piecing this together.

[00:23:54] It's going to be like a fucking Picasso of podcasts.

[00:23:57] The fucking fragments of this shitty episode.

[00:24:01] This show sucks.

[00:24:02] You should just edit it together to just be like, so jank and just be like, welcome,

[00:24:06] Jerry.

[00:24:07] How are you?

[00:24:07] Silent Hill 2 is good.

[00:24:08] And like, it's just like cutting to like all the crazy parts.

[00:24:12] Fucking Deutis Machina, isn't it?

[00:24:14] Or whatever.

[00:24:15] What is it called when you start the movie in the middle?

[00:24:17] I don't know what that is.

[00:24:18] I don't know what that is.

[00:24:19] It's like a Tarantino thing or something?

[00:24:20] I don't fucking know.

[00:24:21] Oh, I watched the fucking crazy movie on Friday that did that.

[00:24:25] Side note.

[00:24:26] We watched-

[00:24:26] Monsters Inc.

[00:24:27] Strange Darling.

[00:24:28] That movie was fucked.

[00:24:30] Strange Darling.

[00:24:31] What is that about?

[00:24:33] Don't look anything up on that movie.

[00:24:36] Just go watch it.

[00:24:37] Just go see what it's all on.

[00:24:38] Oh, G-Rongy, bro.

[00:24:40] Okay.

[00:24:41] Okay.

[00:24:42] It's good, man.

[00:24:43] Look it up.

[00:24:44] Like, or don't look it up.

[00:24:45] Just go see it.

[00:24:47] Like, you have to watch this thing blind.

[00:24:49] Like, don't fucking look anything up on this movie.

[00:24:51] It's not on anything for free?

[00:24:53] Are you fucking-

[00:24:54] Are you pissing me, man?

[00:24:55] It's not on Tubi.

[00:24:57] Yeah, it's not on fucking Crackle.

[00:24:59] Tubi has so much shit.

[00:25:00] Why is it not on Crackle?

[00:25:01] That's bullshit.

[00:25:03] It's on Tidal.

[00:25:04] YouTube with ads?

[00:25:05] I think I watched Anger Management on YouTube with ads.

[00:25:09] I worked with it.

[00:25:10] Dude, Anger Management's so-

[00:25:11] I said over easy!

[00:25:15] So yeah, Silent Hill 2 is really good.

[00:25:17] The other thing that I was playing is also very Silent Hill.

[00:25:20] Hollow Body.

[00:25:22] Now, Nave, on your tier list, I see that you have played and, it looks like, quite enjoyed Crow Country.

[00:25:29] Ah, yes.

[00:25:30] I really liked Crow Country a whole lot.

[00:25:32] I've been meaning to start Crow Country.

[00:25:35] So you do enjoy a indie horror game.

[00:25:40] Yes.

[00:25:40] So I would highly recommend you get on the ball and start playing Hollow Body, dude.

[00:25:46] Because it is so fucking good.

[00:25:49] Beth watched me play that thing from start to finish.

[00:25:52] And it had some pretty, like, cool moments.

[00:25:55] And for an indie game, it had some pretty good polish to it.

[00:26:01] But it's also got, like, that low poly aesthetic.

[00:26:03] So, like, it looks like a- it kind of looks like a PS2 game.

[00:26:07] It reminds me of, um, just looking at it, Eternal Darkness, Sandy Trek Wham.

[00:26:12] I don't know why that is.

[00:26:14] I think it's the flashlight.

[00:26:16] I can see that.

[00:26:16] It's pretty much a cyberpunk Silent Hill.

[00:26:19] It's very good.

[00:26:20] Very, very good.

[00:26:21] So I finished that last week.

[00:26:24] And, uh, yeah, I've just been-

[00:26:25] This isn't gonna be on Xbox, is it?

[00:26:28] Only Steam so far, according to Google.

[00:26:31] Yeah.

[00:26:31] God dang it.

[00:26:32] You can run it.

[00:26:33] I believe in you.

[00:26:34] Gosh darn it.

[00:26:35] It's small.

[00:26:36] Yeah.

[00:26:37] Speaking of small.

[00:26:39] Oh, yeah.

[00:26:40] Yeah.

[00:26:42] Is it- is it my turn now?

[00:26:44] Is that what the transition-

[00:26:45] Okay, cool.

[00:26:46] Um, I still haven't been able to, like, really stick with anything because my brain is the

[00:26:53] size of a fucking walnut.

[00:26:55] Um, so I've just been kind of dabbling in all sorts of different Neo Geo pocket color games

[00:26:59] that I have on my- my Amber Nick thing that I won't shut the fuck up about, but, um, yeah,

[00:27:04] I just kind of bounce from things here and there.

[00:27:06] Like, there's this really-

[00:27:12] I've never seen five recordings in an episode ever.

[00:27:17] And so, this is gonna be-

[00:27:18] This is the most-

[00:27:20] This is the most cursed episode ever.

[00:27:21] I'm gonna need a lot of transition music.

[00:27:24] If you're still with us, listeners, the- the recording keeps crashing for various reasons.

[00:27:29] Yeah!

[00:27:30] We're having a very hard time.

[00:27:32] Varying degrees of crashing.

[00:27:34] This is a very bad omen for gaming together.

[00:27:37] Fifty shades of podcasting.

[00:27:38] Holy shit, Aaron, talk about your fucking thingy that you do.

[00:27:41] That you play games on.

[00:27:43] Oh, okay, so- so Neo Geo pocket color.

[00:27:45] Uh, uh, it was only on the market for a year.

[00:27:47] It's unfortunate.

[00:27:48] Uh, I really like this game called Fasile.

[00:27:50] It's like, uh, uh, a turn-based tactics game with robots and you can command- or you

[00:27:54] can program them to do certain actions in a turn, like, like forward, forward, forward,

[00:27:59] right, right, and then attack or whatever, shit like that.

[00:28:01] It's pretty cool.

[00:28:02] I don't know why I'm talking so fast now.

[00:28:04] You're talking so fast.

[00:28:05] Like, I can feel my heart rate just like-

[00:28:08] You gotta get it out before the fucking next-

[00:28:10] Yeah, I'll slow down.

[00:28:11] But like, probably one of the coolest ones, uh, it's all- this one's also on Switch and

[00:28:16] shit, but it's the, uh, Cardfighters SNK versus Capcom where it's like SNK characters

[00:28:21] and Capcom characters, but they're in a card game and shit.

[00:28:25] So you have like Mega Man and Terry Bogart and shit like that.

[00:28:28] Um, it's really, really sweet.

[00:28:31] And then there's another one called Biomotor Unitron.

[00:28:34] It's, uh, another RPG where, uh, I told you, I can't, I can't stop.

[00:28:38] I can't stick with one because my brain, again, I'm very fucking stupid.

[00:28:43] Um, so it's like, it's basically like a customizable robot.

[00:28:47] You can give it certain parts and then you go in these like, uh, turn-based battles against

[00:28:51] enemies and dungeons and shit.

[00:28:53] It's, it's sweet.

[00:28:54] Neo Geo Pocket Color rules.

[00:28:56] Uh, very underrated.

[00:28:57] Way better than the Game Boy Color.

[00:28:59] I said it.

[00:29:00] I'll stick by it.

[00:29:00] Again, I'm very stupid.

[00:29:02] So that's me.

[00:29:03] I mean-

[00:29:04] Game Boy Color kinda sucks.

[00:29:05] Yeah, the music is nowhere near as good as the Neo Geo Pocket Color.

[00:29:08] Fuck it, I'll go on record saying that.

[00:29:11] The Game Boy Advance SP though.

[00:29:13] That fucker slaps.

[00:29:15] That thing is the fucking revolution.

[00:29:18] The revolution.

[00:29:18] That thing.

[00:29:20] Yeah.

[00:29:20] Yeah, that thing.

[00:29:21] The revolution.

[00:29:22] The revolution.

[00:29:23] Yeah.

[00:29:24] They should have me in the marketing.

[00:29:26] I have no idea.

[00:29:27] It's just Nave standing there like all wide-eyed like, it's, it's the revolution.

[00:29:31] It's really good, guys.

[00:29:32] Come sit down next to me.

[00:29:34] Me and me being 11 years old at the time.

[00:29:37] It's will we good.

[00:29:38] I like the games.

[00:29:40] It's will we good.

[00:29:40] Diminish Cap looks really good on this game.

[00:29:43] On the Game Boy with the backlight.

[00:29:45] Cut!

[00:29:47] Cut!

[00:29:48] Nave say it with more pizazz.

[00:29:50] I don't know what that word means.

[00:29:53] Piz-ass.

[00:29:54] Piz-ass.

[00:29:56] No, I don't have to use the bathroom.

[00:29:58] The director snorts like 14 lines of coke.

[00:30:01] Okay, action.

[00:30:02] Let's see your feet real quick, Nave.

[00:30:04] Start singing Broke inside.

[00:30:06] What?

[00:30:07] Yeah, what?

[00:30:07] Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

[00:30:09] Awesome, Nave.

[00:30:10] Cut.

[00:30:10] Good work.

[00:30:12] We were never recording.

[00:30:15] You're just screaming.

[00:30:16] Here's your Chuck E. Cheese's coupon.

[00:30:17] I love you, bye.

[00:30:19] That was back when Chuck E. Cheese was the shit, wasn't it?

[00:30:21] Was Chuck E. Cheese ever good?

[00:30:23] Yes.

[00:30:24] I feel like it was.

[00:30:24] I can qualify that.

[00:30:26] Chuck E. Cheese used to be good.

[00:30:27] I was at a Chuck E. Cheese.

[00:30:29] I was Chuck E. Cheese.

[00:30:30] Like two years ago, two or three years ago.

[00:30:33] And it was revolting.

[00:30:35] It was just like middle-aged parents standing around watching their fucking crazy children run around.

[00:30:44] And like the whole place smelled like socks and piss.

[00:30:48] Not even just what it smelled like.

[00:30:50] Just like wet fucking dog socks and piss.

[00:30:56] You're just describing my apartment.

[00:30:59] Dude, not even that.

[00:31:00] They have free Wi-Fi now.

[00:31:02] So parents don't even have to watch their kids.

[00:31:05] You can just sit at a booth or a table and just watch fucking...

[00:31:08] Roseanne.

[00:31:08] Desperate Housewives.

[00:31:09] Yeah, Roseanne on your phone while your kids just eat really nasty pizza

[00:31:14] and get their fingers all over everything in the salad bar and then go play Super Monkey Ball.

[00:31:18] I threw up the pizza that night.

[00:31:22] It's like wonderful.

[00:31:23] There's a Chuck E. Cheese like within walking distance from my apartment.

[00:31:26] Go fuck it up.

[00:31:26] And every time...

[00:31:28] YouTube Shortsuit.

[00:31:28] I'm gonna go to City Bites.

[00:31:30] I'm gonna get some sandwiches.

[00:31:31] I'm gonna go to fucking...

[00:31:32] What's that place?

[00:31:33] S&B's Burger Joint.

[00:31:35] And I'm like, I'm gonna get some beers and I look over my shoulder.

[00:31:38] Like longingly at the Chuck E. Cheese.

[00:31:40] There's like that whole conspiracy with their pizza where they like take the slices and put them all together from the pizza...

[00:31:47] Like the leftovers that people didn't eat and serve that.

[00:31:52] Cool. Customizable.

[00:31:54] That sounds...

[00:31:54] That's cool.

[00:31:55] Modular pizza.

[00:31:56] Like Voltron.

[00:31:56] That's why the slices never match each other.

[00:31:59] They build a pizza in piecemeal.

[00:32:01] That's fucking...

[00:32:02] What's my slice?

[00:32:04] Dave, you should buy one of those like helicopter propeller hats and then just like do a YouTube short of yourself enjoying Chuck E. Cheese as a...

[00:32:13] With a really big lollipop.

[00:32:15] Yeah.

[00:32:15] Like a big rainbow lollipop.

[00:32:17] Oh, look at this cool Scooby-Doo ride.

[00:32:20] And you're like barely in there like your head's sticking out.

[00:32:23] I'd probably get fucking shot in the chest by a rifle.

[00:32:26] Like if I walked into a Chuck E. Cheese dress like that.

[00:32:29] By just a concerned parent.

[00:32:32] Let me tell you, if I am ever in...

[00:32:34] For some reason in your neighborhood and I just come knocking on your door and I'm like, Dave, let's go...

[00:32:39] Let's go fuck up some beers.

[00:32:41] We're going to Chuck E. Cheese.
