Ep. 83 - Game Characters You'd Have a Drink With (ft. Matt and Gerry)

[00:00:00] Hello superstars, my name is Aaron. I own 14 Sombreros and this is Superpod Saga!

[00:00:19] That's right, Superpod Saga, the show you're listening to right now.

[00:00:25] We discuss a different video game topic each week and when we're done discussing have out there? What is there? There's fun and games, screen snar. I'll let you do that. Go ahead and introduce yourself, man. Sure. Yeah. I think that between you and Dave and several others, the number of podcasts I make just balloons. And the number just gets bigger, even though there aren't that many shows. And I used to do more, I want, on the record, since I know Dave is probably listening at some point. I just like giving Dave Jackson shit, to be honest.

[00:01:44] I'm Matt A. K. Stormageddon and I produce has been a lot of fun hosted by one Alex van Aiken Marcus Stewart and Kyle Hilliard

[00:03:03] I couldn't remember his last name for a sec. So yeah, that's a podcast every other Friday. And it's just kind of like lighthearted discussion of what we're playing, what we want to play, and what we're going to play. I also thought I was crazy for pitching the idea of having

[00:04:21] two shows, but after hearing excited for fans of Super Polysaga and fans of Super Ghost Radio to check this thing out.

[00:05:44] It's it's going to be a lot of fun And then I've told like a million people about that. That's just like, that's super rad that Vim's a real person and that you guys talked to him. It was a great episode. Yeah, but I would love to, I would love to reach out to good old Vim and explain to him how much I owe him

[00:07:00] for my childhood in ROMs.

[00:07:02] He's a very sweet guy, like very soft spoken,

[00:07:04] but yeah, it was a fun episode.

[00:07:05] That was Jeff's brainchild.

[00:07:06] Jeff has been, we wanted to do a bunch of stuff Look at his sight. I love that his sight still looks exactly like it did back in like 2000. It's crazy. It's so nostalgic just to flick over there and just look at those ROMs and stuff. And I'll never forget downloading, I think it was Hyperdimension, Dragon Ball Z Hyperdimension.

[00:08:21] And I just remember being blown away

[00:08:23] because I was like, I didn't know this existed.

[00:08:25] And it was like that first time that my brain was, What would you drink and where would you be? the cthusiest Jeff By the way our newest member to our discord channel welcome. He says crystal from star Fox We will both share a couple sex on the sex of the beat or thing you meant to say sex on the beach I've said too much lol Yeah, that's I get a man crystal school someone showing their furry card early and honestly I respect it

[00:09:45] Yeah, get it out

[00:10:44] I ever experienced in a bomber in game was bomber in 64 had like a whole narrative that you could follow but like

[00:10:50] Doesn't really get into who he is. It just it just is now and think about it

[00:10:56] He literally has man in his title. Maybe he's like a full-grown ass man like I

[00:11:05] Mean if the gritty reboot is to be believed it's a guy on that this high-tech armor. Yeah, I know pilot dog shit that is yeah

[00:12:22] it uh Yeah, he's the best. Yeah. Yeah. He's the best. Kevin.demo, he says, my and Link's grandma for Wind Waker drinking her homemade soup on the beach and outside island, possibly for romantic? Question mark? Question mark? Question mark? Yes. This is totally yes. John Haig, he says, Kratos, Spartan wine in Sparta.

[00:12:26] Yeah.

[00:12:27] Solid choice. Our bodies did I just that you can only actually take in so much. Yeah, it was a myth busters episode many many years ago Well jokes jokes on you missed Jokes on you mr. Bread have fun barfing your lungs up with mr. Marsden. I want to watch that episode I just watched them just demolish some

[00:13:41] Throw up all over the place dude with busted. There's like

[00:14:45] full bottle of champagne in that mouth and then just dip.

[00:14:51] Again, I think Berto's a male, I think.

[00:14:57] Dip his head back and then just slammer it. What did you just, oh no.

[00:14:59] I'm sorry, I googled Berto and it was a mistake.

[00:15:03] I found that and I wish I could,

[00:15:06] wish I could unsee it buterto is considered, not that Nintendo is officially said in any way, but I think audience wise people have inferred that she is a transgender character. Either way, probably can still down an entire bottle of champagne, so I don't think it changes the conversation that much at all. Absolutely. Apparently Berto is known as Catherine in Japan.

[00:16:24] Why?

[00:16:26] I don't know. do some ballads, like I'm all for it. How do you think Majima would act if you were like, hey, man, let's go grab a coffee? So like, it's funny, right? Because Majima is a lunatic. But also, deeply loves Kiryu, like in a brotherly way and maybe even more, who knows? And so I feel like if Kiryu's giving the invite,

[00:17:42] Majima's in and we'll hang out.

[00:17:44] I think if we, the people, the player characters Yo-yos I used to be really good with the yo-yo, but not anymore Was it like fake fake yo-yos though the ones that like those Yeah, it wasn't one of those that like had a little like sparklies inside them and stuff No, it was just a red Duncan yo-yo and you were good with it. Yeah

[00:19:02] impressive honestly, yeah, I was gonna say

[00:19:04] let me like I I feel like, I mean, this is, whenever I think about like video game characters, for whatever reason, my mind instantly goes to the entire catalog of Nintendo characters. Because there's so many of them, and they all have like different personalities and stuff. But like one of the other ones that I was thinking about was like, I bet you Kirby is a hell of a mixologist.

[00:20:23] Oh my God, yeah.

[00:20:24] Are you kidding?

[00:20:25] Someone who loves to eat and loves to drink,

[00:20:27] probably would like, yeah, there's there's a bigger conversation

[00:21:41] to be had about how we should all actually be afraid of Kirby.

[00:21:45] That's a whole other episode. I think my next one would probably be Samus, Samus Aran from the Metroid franchise. One of my favorite video game franchises of all time, but also she is such a badass and like has gone through so much by the time we hit the most recent game dread, like probably has a ton of war stories, probably what she can and can't even eat like now that she's

[00:23:02] like fused to her armor and like has gone through all this stuff.

[00:23:05] Like it would just be kind of like a badass, almost intimidating kind of drink like hanging But I think it was worth it. Yeah, I bet you that toad the way I bet you the reason why he talks the way he does in that weird gibberish is because he's already so wasted. And that's why like in all the Star Fox games, he just gets fucked up immediately all the time because he's so drunk behind the wheel and foxes like, God damn it.

[00:24:20] And like, that's why Falco is always so pissed off because I have the fucking

[00:24:23] babysit this goddamn frog or toe.

[00:24:25] So toad to the S.R.O.S. system. I don't fucking care, man. R.I.P. Slippy.

[00:25:41] Oh, God.

[00:25:43] Oh, man.

[00:25:45] Oh, no.

[00:25:47] R.I.P. Slippy. Yeah, without a doubt. I just picture him pouring up like scotch upon scotch upon scotch upon scotch. He doesn't even use like a normal like a normal glass for for scotch or whatever. He just has like a mason jar. He's got like a Pepsi glass from like Pizza Hut. He fills it all the way up like it's fucking cool.

[00:27:06] Yeah, I think I think Joel be interesting to pick his brain.

[00:28:21] Because that's essentially what I mean. at first, but I really thought about it. And like, like I think Joker from Mass Effect would be a great drinking companion, but it would be mostly telling jokes and goofing off. And like, I want something a little more real in that jolvane. And so I think Garris to carrion would be a great choice for a drinking buddy, because like he'd have the war stories from like, when he was, you know, doing the mercenary thing for a while. And then once he started being a part of the Turian army,

[00:28:24] he'd have stories about that.

[00:28:25] And he's kind of a giant d Well, I got good news for you. I live in the same city that BioWare is in.

[00:29:41] I can go knock on their door now.

[00:29:43] Yeah, go, just go put a good word for me.

[00:29:44] Thanks, yeah.

[00:29:45] This game that recently got remastered like stupid me and then just weasel my way in get him with like this oh yeah Casey's Casey left again right yeah I believe so pretty sure yeah I think it like he left and or Jill. Look man, I'm gonna tell you, as a straight male, the entire time hanging out with Chris Redfield, like RE5 Chris Redfield, I would just be like,

[00:32:20] kinda touch your bicep real quick.

[00:32:23] Like, can I just, can I just.

[00:32:25] Feel his biceps.

[00:33:24] Oh, it's clean and dirty all at the same time.

[00:33:26] Oh, man. What's up? God bless him.

[00:33:29] Yes, if I if I were to drink with anyone from the Arie cast,

[00:33:32] it would be my favorite Golden Retriever, Leon Kennedy.

[00:33:35] Also, because he's easier on the eyes, but also because especially in remake

[00:33:39] and for remake, he's just the biggest, dumbest, most delightful superhero.

[00:33:45] Like it's just, Chris. Chris. Take a breath. Put the pool cue down, buddy.

[00:35:04] Oh, God. Chris has shark eyes again. Oh, my fucking God.

[00:35:05] Hide your boulders.

[00:36:05] like holding her hair back as she's barfing yep that's yeah that's there that's it that's right Daisy is the is the one who like gets drunk and then

[00:36:12] just passes out in a pile of trash and watches barfs all over toadette your

[00:36:17] fucking purse contents are just spilled all over the place take toadette's little

[00:36:22] mushroom hat just use it as a bar so far. I'm excited for the third one. Like, I think Ilja Selba's performance is this kind of lunk head is really good and kind of poisoned my view of the character. But even in the more modern Sonic animatic animatics and stuff, in the more recent games, he's kind of like a doofus.

[00:37:42] Like, he's this like guardian, like stoic character.

[00:37:45] That's also kind of a dork and kind of a goofball.

[00:38:43] It's so goofy all the time, just throwing out wild-ass poses and just, hey, come on.

[00:38:44] And then you just pound a full glass, get out there,

[00:38:50] get his boogie on, come back, pound another full glass

[00:38:53] and just continue through the night.

[00:38:55] Jimmy T's cool, it's my favorite WarioWare character.

[00:38:58] Dude, WarioWare characters, like, yeah.

[00:39:00] I never even thought of that.

[00:39:01] There's so many of those and they're all so cool.

[00:39:05] Yeah, what's up?

[00:39:07] What the fuck is his name? by our dazzling patrons. Anoble Consul, Jared, Jamison, Adam, slash Finneas, Trey, Jeff, and Adam, Revival and Extinction. You're all superstars, the very best, each and every one of you. And I cannot thank you enough for supporting the show. You all are the MVPs, and it's such an incredible feeling,

[00:40:21] though, in that you all love Super Pod Saga enough

[00:40:24] to support it.

[00:40:25] If I could, I'd give each and every one of you single origin coffees like Kenya, Guatemala, stuff like that. Even what they call high voltage, which is extra strength, extra caffeine, but they have all sorts of other awesome kind of out of the box flavors. They've got ones like cotton candy, maple bacon, and even mint chocolate chip ice cream. And they're always coming up with new crossover flavors.

[00:41:43] Like they've done a bunch for Nightmare Before Christmas,

[00:41:45] Indiana Jones, even Spiderman of all things. big fan of it and I hope you find one that really hooks you. Thank you so much for listening. Have a good one.

[00:43:04] It's really important to stay hydrated. They you know? And I just love how quick and easy it is to use Liquid Ivy. You just get one packet and a bottle of water and you just pour that packet into the bottle of water, shake the heck out of it, and bam, you are good to go. Since using Liquid Ivy, I felt way more alert, active, and just plain better versus drinking

[00:44:20] water alone.

[00:44:21] My favorite flavors to go to are the Yuzu Pineapple Energy Multiplier and the Tropical

[00:44:27] Punch Hydration Multiplier. honey? Sure, who doesn't like honey? It's okay. Okay, I guess better question. How do you feel about bees? Are you seeing beads? Bees? How do you get beads from honey? Like literally the ones that make the honey Jerry.

[00:45:44] Bees? I don't like bees. So I'm terrified of bees because I've never been stung my one. And in my brain, I'm thinking that I'm whatever you get to give the can a shake and then pop open the tab and then toss it into a into a bathroom stall to clear anybody who's in there and you'll probably wait like 10 minutes for the bees to go. No, you'll have the smoke. You'll have the handy dandy can bees can smoker. Just toss a little can of smoke in there. Those bees will get get all good and I guess wound down or whatever the smoke does and then bam you go

[00:47:02] go take a nice smokey poop. That's all that you just cleared Let's talk to satisfied customers like Jerry. How what do you think about canned bees? How was your experience with canned bees this fine? No, sir. I don't like it. I Really gotta say Jerry Jerry Jerry. Yeah, I need this to be a positive experience. I need you to be positive. All right, right, right

[00:48:24] So you are you still gonna they're still gonna pay us, right? Yeah

[00:48:27] Yeah, yeah How is that? That was perfect. Yum. Yum. Order yourself. Do we get paid now? Well, in just a second, order yourself some canned bees today. Right at this very second and you'll also get the canned bees beekeeper suit so that way you're

[00:49:41] protected from harm. Shit, that's just start arm wrestling you for no reason.

[00:51:01] And I would be intimidated, but I would love

[00:51:05] to have that story to go. Yes, play it. It's not good, but play it. It's not terrible either. You can, you can make your own guns. You can mix and match materia to make different cool abilities and spells and shit.

[00:52:21] Like it's, it's not great, but it's not terrible.

[00:52:25] Yeah.

[00:52:25] If it's one of those games where you can put it on easy

[00:52:27] and not be penalized, I think, of Clive, he'd have like a lot of reflecting to do and wanna kinda just hang out. He might also be like a cool comfortable silence kinda guy where you could just kinda hang out and vibe in the base and have a drink. Yeah, bounce a couple jokes off memory now and again. Yeah.

[00:53:42] I had a good build up for this one but I just immediately lost it.

[00:53:45] I would love to enjoy a cup of any kinda tea He's gonna eat. We've never seen him eat, but he makes food. So in theory, if he's making food, he probably eats. He has to. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I bet you a Mr. Game Watch can pound him back. He really gets going back. He'd be the kind of guy to like, he'd be like a beer pong kind of guy.

[00:55:02] You'd be, what's that dumb thing you say in beer pong

[00:55:06] where you're at like a backyard barbecue and Mr. Game & Watch shows up. He's like, hand me one of them, uh, one of them nadie lights. Or however he says it, you give him a beer. Would it like turn black? Or would you see like his black, like, silhouette?

[00:56:20] With a, with a nadie light?

[00:56:22] Just power to that nadie light.

[00:56:23] I mean, when he picks up items in the game, they don't disappear into like his form.

[00:56:27] They stay...

[00:56:28] That's true.

[00:56:28] Stay separate. Yeah, that's exactly it. I just want to sit there and be like, Bowser was talking some really bad shit about that tie. Donkey Kong, like saying like, why does he even wear the tie? What's the purpose of the tie? And then just get Donkey Kong all riled up. I don't know how you would rile D.D. up. Just be like, they ran out of cupcakes. And he was like, flip a table over.

[00:57:42] Go to Bowser and you'd just be like, like Princess Peach

[00:57:45] isn't even fucking into you.

[00:57:46] She's like, go here.

[00:57:48] Mario doesn't like you like Ken like apparently was a CEO

[00:59:03] and then got like framed for something and lost his job or whatever.

[01:00:06] to just sit down and have like a really any drink with because the dude like his whole backstories about how he grew up as an orphan and all the money he wins

[01:00:10] from wrestling and the Tekken tournaments he gives back to the orphans

[01:00:15] as well and yeah that he'd be fun to talk to as well too he just seems like a

[01:00:20] really really cool guy and then I think I the coolest lightsaber combat especially in the second game uh there's a stance that makes your lightsaber a broadsword mind you it doesn't get heavier but it still you

[01:01:40] wield it like a two-handed sword and it's amazing so yeah i have it like a window.

[01:02:43] that Ming Na Wen was Chun Li in that film and then remember it.

[01:02:44] And I mean, I love her and everything.

[01:02:45] She's great, but I just, I can't really believe

[01:02:47] she actually was Chun Li in that film.

[01:02:49] It's just wild to me.

[01:02:50] Yeah.

[01:02:52] That is crazy.

[01:02:53] Speaking of crazy, I'd like to enjoy

[01:02:57] a glass of chalky milk with Earthworm Jim himself.

[01:03:00] Yeah, let's go.

[01:03:02] The real shit now, let's get into it.

[01:03:03] Let's go, dude.

[01:03:04] Hear about all those baddies that he's blasted

[01:03:07] throughout all these games. 100 percent is a star in from Baldur's Gate three. Yeah, that's a that's a good choice, too. Yeah, like I would just because he's a charm. Like he would be so entertaining. Yeah, to hear him like shit talk people in the bar or something. Like you would have to a bar with him. He would just be like shit talking people. I'm not even going to try to do an impersonation of him

[01:04:20] because like that that performance is fantastic.

[01:04:23] Yeah, I think that's a that's a flawless vocal performance.

[01:04:26] Yeah. On I always forget the guy's name.

[01:05:24] because this is super side note and maybe maybe the reason why I said I would rather take a stereo note than Shadowheart was because I'm a little

[01:05:26] bitter at Shadowheart.

[01:05:28] I spent the whole fucking game trying to romance her to the point where I was like,

[01:05:31] I've said everything to you.

[01:05:33] I've said every line of dialogue and you liked it all.

[01:05:38] And she didn't give me nothing like nothing.

[01:05:41] I didn't get anything from her whatsoever.

[01:05:44] I was so pissed. Fucking nothing.

[01:06:44] continuous, oh, how the fuck do I explain? They're all like one separate point in Adol's life,

[01:06:48] like different little adventures that he goes on.

[01:06:50] Then yeah, it'd be cool to have a drink with him.

[01:06:53] Just fucking listen to all of his stories

[01:06:54] about all the crazy shit that he's been into.

[01:06:56] Cause like fuck yeah, eight is the,

[01:06:59] he meets a chick who froze herself in time

[01:07:02] and then she becomes a fucking evolution god or whatever.

[01:07:05] And then holy shit, yeah, it's just a mix of like vegetables, herbs, spices, water, and pork broth. So it's just like a cold soup in a can. But hang on, I mean, I'm thinking of like, yeah, like Squirtles and Bulbasaurs and Pikachu's and stuff like that, but like Lucario could definitely slam some beers, right? Oh, for sure. Same with Mewtwo, right? Yeah. That's what I was going to say, Mewtwo.

[01:08:20] They have opposing thumbs!

[01:08:21] They can hold that shit.

[01:08:22] Oh!

[01:08:23] My champ!

[01:08:24] He, yeah, all those onions for all those beers, dude.

[01:08:27] He's shotgun at four years at one time. where it's like Lonnie Manelli's like, yeah, circle to jump over this thing and collect that molecule. Or whatever the fuck he says in obviously 3D, dude. I feel like Kazooie would also be a total pain in the ass to have. But she's snarky in a way that I feel like I would enjoy. Like she'd start making fun of other people.

[01:09:40] Yeah, like she'd start picking on other people at the bar.

[01:09:43] You'd be like, yeah, get him.

[01:09:45] Like cheering around.

[01:10:40] That's it. That's pretty fun, yeah.

[01:10:41] Yeah.

[01:10:42] Phoenix Wright, get some free legal advice.

[01:10:44] Yeah, you got it.

[01:10:45] Get them all fucking smackered up on schnapps

[01:10:47] and be like, dude, how do I get away

[01:10:49] with vehicular manslaughter?

[01:10:53] Out of Denny's?

[01:10:55] Yeah, out of Denny's, dude.

[01:10:56] Get them all coked up on blow.

[01:10:59] Listen, man, it's all about the evidence.

[01:11:01] It's all about how you look at the evidence or whatever.

[01:11:04] Man, this got dark.

[01:11:06] Holy shit.

[01:11:07] Well, that get it. Yeah. And then, yeah, again, to check out all the podcasts I do, just go to DJStormageddon.com.

[01:12:20] I got links to all of them there as well as my merch pays.
