Hello everybody, and welcome to another episode of the Elder Trolls Gaming podcast. If you are new in joining us today, we are three brothers who get together and talk about gaming. We all we always I always fuck this one up, you make up. We may also talk tech, TV movies and other neary geeky stuff too. Hi am Nasty Night, and I am taking it easy genre and I am Dandulf the Wise God. And today we will be continuing it took you a while to get that out fuck. And today we will be continuing the AI video game Character Battle Royale Fighting Tournament. But first, what's going on, guys? Well, what's going on? I'm waiting for delivery, so it may happen while we are recording. It will happen, I guarantee it. Yep, very soon, probably like right when we start getting going. Oh maybe, but you'll know because the roosters will just start roosting. Oh yes, my alarm dogs will be alarming. Well, they're in the room with you, can't they can't see who's coming up the driveway. Well, they'll knock on the door and they'll go nuts. All right, Well know, but yes, my TV is coming, my O led replacement finally, finally, Wow, how long has it been from break to delivery? Well, I coul submitted the claim on February twenty sixth. February twenty sixth, I submitted the claim online two months for the extra warranty whatever through my credit card. This is the extended warranty because I bought it on my credit card. I got an extra year like a duplicate of the manufacturer's warranty. But I had to like send in all this shit proving that Samsung's warranty is this, show my receipts, my credit card statement, all this crap, and then silence, silence from them, for fucking silence nine weeks. I had to send in a repair quote like from the TV repair place and all this other crap. Like I said, then they they have nothing. They didn't tell me anything, They didn't contact me. They I called them once and I was like, what is up with this claim? Like is it going through? Like what's how does it work? Do I just buy a new TV and send you guys the bill and you send me the money? Like how the and the girl couldn't fucking tell me anything. She's like, I can't. It hasn't been it has to you have to wait eight to ten weeks before they action it, like it won't like we can't do anything unless it's been eight to ten weeks. I'm just like, what the fuck those duid's like they just wait eight to ten weeks to start working on it. I don't know. I did. All I could check was that i'd submitted. I kept. I went almost not every day, but like to the website and check my claim and it says, okay, we're wait for an analyst to It said, wait for an analyst to contact me. Okay, And I'm waiting nine weeks and then all of a sudden, in the mail a check for thirty five hundred dollars. She's like, what the fuck? Like they didn't contact me, they just send me check. I'm like, okay, I guess I'm buying where the fuck I want? Then? Hell yeah, So I bought the S ninety C N or ninety five inch that'd be cool, No sixty five inch, the S ninety C, whereas mine was the S ninety five B, So mine was a little higher of a model. It's not the direct replacement for mine, which would be the S ninety five C. But Costco didn't doesn't sell that model, and I want the Costco warranty. D yeah, you do everyone. So I bought the one model down, the s ninety c O LED, and I got the sixtier fucking warranty for one hundred and thirty dollars. Hell yeah, it's a no brainer. That's and then I get I saved seven hundred dollars. I get seven hundred dollars years on that check to keep for myself. I can go buy it three D or a new graphics card. I thought the downside of the model of the one step down anyway, like not like I'm sure it's still a great fucking TV. Well, yeah it is. It's there's the the difference is just so like minuscule. It's probably like a probably like one hundred or something, Yeah, one hundred minutes difference, which is nothing because it can't be like the color difference or anything like that, because it would just be how much power is going to those bulbs, right led, It's just the There might be a difference in like tone mapping maybe, but really it's not that good. It's gonna be fucking sweet. Still. I was thinking about going with the seventy seven inch, you know. But I was like, it's fourteen hundred dollars more for the seventy seven inch s ninety C than the sixty five. And I was like, I can buy you. That can buy you an LGB two oh Lead television, which is still a very satisfying oh led television, still going strong. It still looks amazing. Inch. I got fifty five inches that's small fries By the Asis four k O lead gaming monitor, which was just that just came out. I don't Gillis just got it, Baron Gillis, Yeah, really coming in the mail. Y oh nice. It's all about the q DE oled guy. I be getting that soon. He's gonna be uh very happy about that. I'm sure. Anyway, I got that's a that's what's my story here. Fuck. I got a new car, oh right, I got a new car. Oh ship cost me fourteen hundred bucks. I wish it's ninety Toyota turuzell. Yeah. God, I was thinking about that the other day, and I'm like driving because I I for those of you listening, I just got a twenty twenty four Mirage, a Mitsubishi Mirage, sweet sweet little sapphire blue thing, very very very little, sleek, the tiniest car available. It is a very small car, and it is amazing in smaller spaces than I could with my Toyota Echo. Man, I fucking hate it's smaller than the Echo from front to back. Yes, I believe it's because it's almost like the RS yars. Yeah. Yeah, but the yards looked fucking it was just like wanh wanh. It was like a triangle with a sh like a cartoon shoe. Yeah. The RS was nice. It's a good car, quality vehicle. But I was driving it the Mirage home. I don't know if it was like last night or whatever, and I looked at the odometer already I was like one hundred and sixty kilometers or something, and I was like, damn, maybe I should have just bought a fucking thousand dollars beat her up or to dry auto up or just keep driving my Toyota. It was like, I don't know, seven it's like sixty dollars a month for insurance on that thing. Oh yeah, but it's so you can't rely on that piece of ship. I know, I know. It's just you're stranded between here and between there and here. Yeah, he just like I was bleeding there and hitch hike home. Because when I was when I was driving my shitty Mazda to do weddings, like I had like a few close calls where I had almost breaking down the side of the highway, like going to like Tromblone to do a wedding or something like that. Like I was like, no, I came with the jeep. When I was doing the photo booth job years ago, I drove. I had to fucking drive all the time because my partners, my my coworkers were they all had like smaller cars that couldn't fit as much ship. So of course Daniel was the one that was volunteered to do the driving all the time. So I'm driving like the jeep to Kingston, and after you hit a certain speed, the tires start going and the steering wheels like and I had to like pull over. And I was like, what the fucking hell is like the first time that happened. But Dad was like, oh yeah, just slow down when that happens. I'm like, okay, jeeps. You know, if you drive jeep, you know it's a deep thing. And we were paying one hundred fifty dollars a month in insurance for that thing at that time. But anyway, the mirage man, oh so smooth, everything is anything is literally better than what I was driving before. So I have like, I'm like, oh, it's so smooth. But everyone else you might be driving it like it's okay, but like it's a brand new car for me, so feels like a wheelbarrow. Yeah, I don't know. I love it. But the sound system sounds nice, too, nice and bright and like crisp and modern sounding because I'm so used to those old fucking shitty ones in Toyota. So everything sounded really dark and like and I've been hearing all the detail in these songs that I've only really listened to in the car for a long time. I'm like, oh shit, I didn't know that was going on there. It was nice though. I got that sweet screen beauty. Oh wrap, backup camera, reverse camera, you goting Android auto in there? Yeah you can. Actually you don't have to put the tape with the with the you don't have to be you're eight the auxiliary cable with the yeah, the cassette no no CD player. Just sad, But I guess I'm paying for the year two thousand Daniel. Well, that's good. I started a new job. It has been a week so far, so good. The only thing that I absolutely hate is riding the fucking bus. I hate it so much. I have to sit there with these fucking goblins looking at me. I have to look at them looking out the window. Fucking stinks in there. It's hot. Fuck. I hate it. Yeah, I hate it. You've avoided it this long, it's pretty good. Yeah. I suppose. It's just just the fact that I'm wasting an hour and a half to two hours of my day of my life per day writing this fucking thing. That just gets to me because I could be doing something else. You're wasting thirty two hours of your life per month. Yeah, I'm driving on being on the commute thirty two hours. That's a whole work week, almost a full work week, that I could be getting paid every month. So now I had to stop doing photography during the week, so I can't book anybody at four pm anymore. I can't book anybody at five pm anymore, you know what I mean, Or at twelve o'clock PM for a half hour session like during the day, Like all that's gone and no one likes to come take photos on the weekends for some reason, because I guess they're not getting paid for it at their job, so they don't come to take headshots on the weekend. It's very strange. All right, that's it. Cool. Well, congratulations on the new job, Yes, thank you, and the new TV. Jonathan, new car, new job, new TV. Yes, something's something's wrong in the universe, something sort of imbalance. Don't worry the Leaves will lose tonight. Yes, I don't know. They've been doing okay, so I hearn. Before we go into game time, I just want to put out there that we do have a merch store, which can be found in our link tree and on our socials. Also, the link will be in the description of wherever you're watching or listening uh to this podcast. Currently, Jonathan and I are wearing the two versions of the mL Plumbing Co Baseball tea. I don't know if you can see you're both wearing the same shirt. Did you coordinate that? Yes? Green, red? See that you can find those on the merch store. So with that being said, let's get into game time. All right, boys, let's talk about games now, we talk about gaming. Bout that's an old song from the nineties nineties. Yeah, dance when mam would do her tibo. Let's talk about one time with Billy Blank's Billy going to do my tibo tybo? You do man Billy Blanks? Who? Yeah, I think Billy Blank's Yeah, he kind of looked like uh Wesley Snipes yet like a black, big, sweaty black guy. Yeah, just ripped doing tibo fun. I'll start it off here. I have been casually playing Fallout New Vegas on my Legion Go. It's great, Gabe. I can definitely see why people like this a lot because I'm kind of getting that, like I like it now, but when that first came out, it was probably pretty sick. But I'm playing on what year is it? From? Year is it? It came off? Twenty twenty eight? Yeah, two thousand and eight, two thousand and nine. Yea, it can't be. It can't be anything past twenty ten. There's no way. There's no way it's twenty twenty. Oh okay. I think follow up three was two thousand and nine and this came out after followed three. Yeah, I think pretty sure. But yeah, I'm playing on my Legion Go. You know when Alma watches their shows. I'm like, I'll just fire up the old Allegiant Go handheld play some follow out New Vegas beautiful, so nice. We actually released a video on how to fix the loading screen crash, which was happening to me and lots of other people whenever one started jumping into the follow up games after the follow show, and it has hit our highest view count of any non short video at thirty three thousand views. Really yeah, higher than the Power World thing. Oh yeah, oh yeah, way hired in the Power World really power old the Power World fix I think finished at fifteenth This is oh more than Double Down. Wow, yep, And we got quite a bit of subs. We're almost there. We're almost have five hundred to open the shop up on YouTube. So people, if you haven't been to the YouTube and you haven't subbed, just go there and sub. Okay, get us to the five hundred so we can open up our shop at least on the YouTube. Yeah okay, and then we'll deal with getting to one thousand. That's gonna take another fucking eight years. Other than that, I've been playing some Manor Lords. Do you guys know what Manor Lords is? Oh? Yeah, yeah, yeah, tell us about Manor Lords. It sounds very much like Banner Lord, which is also a medieval I think, Daniel, I think you would love this game. Actually it's only yeah, but it'll come out all I try it when it comes out. That would be fun. It's a medieval city builder strategy game. Very cool, very hard, but cool. It doesn't hold your hand. The tutorial is trashed, pretty shitty, but like, once you start learning the ropes and seeing what your buildings do and all that, it's really cool. Start to trade routes. You have to make your trade routes to the neighboring cities and regions and all that kind of stuff. You gotta find out what your region is good at for like mining or logging, you know, and then that will be your export kind of thing. So then you make money, You build a little smithy, start making weapons for your militia, YadA, YadA, YadA, and then what's cool sim City in the Middle Ages. Yeah, but what's cool is it's more strategy because you can battle, like you raise an army, and you can take over your neighboring regions by like waging war on them. I'm pretty sure you can go and like raid their camps and stuff like that. So what school is you can like zoom in down to the floor level and watch it all happen in like third person. You can even plant your guy, like you can plant yourself in your city and like run around in third person, go up to the shops that you built. I think that far always what I would have wanted, even back in SimCity. I was always like, man, they should have made a sim city where you can just zoom into street level and then house level and then play the sims. Pretty much, that's what I always wanted. So that's a really cool imagine. And it only that extent, like you just run around. You can't really do anything. You just run around to see what it looks like. Yeah, but that's so cool, really really cool. You can build your plops of plops of land for your for your houses, and then you can to like increase your food. I had to get a little tip done from Gillis here because all my people were starving, starving to death. I had no idea how to fucking make food because every time I'd get a food, it would disappear, right because I had so many people wanting to get into my village, so I build more houses, and then more people would move in, and then they'd eat all my food. And I'm like, oh, so then I have to find a way to get more food. So I open up more trade routes to import food. But then that means I have to buy that food. So I have to come up with a command to protect your merchants on the on the road. Yeah. Oh man, it's pretty cool. It's very cool. You sink hours into this, just fucking clicking around and taking your time, you know what I mean. I could see it being hard. I could see that the challenge of it for me being like this is, oh, okay, got a delivery. Oh wow, they yelling out through the window. No, I see the big truck there he is, it has arrived. Nice. I get to set that up. Now. I got to get rid of the TV up here, move the TV downstairs up here, so the high sense going upstairs. Yeah, oh yeah, you gotta have the oh lead in the theater. What were the what were we talking about? Uh? Oh, that's pretty much done. All. You just like do the strategy sometimes and then you'll hear you'll hear like a horn saying there's an army coming, and then you zoom out you can see the little army coming down the mountain or the down the hills towards your village. You're like fact, so you go to gather your militia, meet them halfway and hopefully the coming in army doesn't squash your militia and just come into your base. But like I've been finding it difficult to really get the wheels moving where I build bows to make sure my militia have bow and arrows, build swords or pikes or actses or shields all that shit. But yeah, you can raise cattle to get the leather, sheep to get the wool, and all this stuff, export it, import it very cool. So if anybody out there is interested in city builders, this is really cool. It takes it a little bit further. Graphics are great. It takes it a little bit further because you get to do like armies and it turns into like a strategy game, like a like an army strategy game later on when you're taking over region and stuff like that. Very cool. The region, mumbled out, He mumbled out, region, my last one. I've been playing me and Peak. You just picked up Gray Zone Warfare. Jonathan picked it up too. Actually early access. It's cool, very cool, very cool. It is not cool at all. Yeah, a lot of people will not like this game if you like the dais uh or I guess Peq says it's a Tarkov light. I don't know what Tarkov is. I don't I don't play Tarkoff, but I know from like Snake Factory telling us what it is. Yeah, but Gray Zone is a revival extraction shooter, very very detailed in the way, like how you can take apart your guns, like each piece of the gun you can take off replace it. That's what I noticed. Yeah, yeah, like I have to drink its water bottle. Yeah, it's the first person days and then like shows your hands like I gotta eat this, I gotta eat this ration and it's like taking it apart and you hear all the sounds and get sick and walking around like eating it. Yeah, gettt I'm hot. I'm like, what is this fucking icon mean? I don't know. I'm like eating everything in my inventarity see if it's so, it's like but it takes forever because he's like, yeah, you don't want to do that package. Yeah, I'm like what the fuck is going on? I love the guys are shooting at me. It's like opening the cants, like it's like, yeah, opening the can when I shoot at the guys. I was literally shooting guys, unloading at them in their fucking chests, and the bullets weren't doing it like this. I can hear fucking stupid this guy there was it could have been you. There's a guy in the base camp. I think I guess he just died from that exact same thing. He's in base camp. He's like, it's like, I fucking hate these games. I put like two full clips in that fucking guy and you didn't drop, just yell like in his proximity chat. Yeah. Fuck yeah, it was bad. I couldn't mantle like over the smallest little old space hold space, I'm sure because space is just like glitch back and forth and like it is early access. I got an enough time for these early access games refund, so he refund Jonathan refunded it, but I kept it. I've played like six or seven hours of it already. Mean, Peak, you had a pretty good sash the other night. So what happens is you can there's like LZ points that you have to find around the map, and once you find one, you can take a chopper from the main base to these l Z points and then do your quests from that new LZ point, so you get quests from your vendor. He's like, oh, dude, go here, check this place out, look for survivors, YadA, YadA, YadA. So then you go there, you do the quest, but you have to survive and come back. If you die out there, you drop all your shit and you have to go back out there to find your your body. Yeah, so it happened to us quite a few times in our in our session where we died and kept trying to get to our body. We'd pick up our stuff and then we die again. Seems to play a lot of games that that is like a function, Like he loves that ship. I don't know what it is. He's just like, I'm gonna die, I'm gonna go find my body. I think it's just the like you get this feeling in Battle Royale, right, we get this feeling in these like survival games when any turn around the corner, any turn around the corner, you get a bullet in the head and you gotta start over again. That's just that's the way it is. It's like a rogue light in a in a way, right, So I tell you a story what happened. So we get to this We get this place pretty far, like the farthest we've been from the main base, and we're supposed to like tag these lumber yards for whatever reason. So we're going there. We're like crouching around, YadA, YadA, YadA, and I turn around the corner and this there's another player who's in our faction. Okay, in our faction, meaning he's come from the same base. He's pretty much in on our team versus the other two factions that are out there on the map. So there's three factions in total. And it's PV. It's PvE where we're going out and doing our stuff, but then you can also run into other players, which makes it and have a PvP aspect to it. Okay, So I come face to face with this guy, I'm like, oh, he's on my faction, and he fucking shoots me and he kills me, and then he kills pe Q, right, so they're like fox sake. So then we you can message him like what the fuck was that? He's like oh, you were wearing the bandanas. We thought you were the bad guys. We're like, fuck, we were wearing bandanas because we bandanas on from the people we've killed. Oh, like they thought you were AI. Yeah, he thought we were the AA guys because you guys are probably moving like A yeah. Probably. Like So I go out to go get my body back right, and Peq did that after me because he died second. So I had already gone out there, and then what happened was he somehow got to his body first before I got to my body. He's like looting his body and like, yo, there's someone looting your body. And then I started shooting him and he turns around, he's like stop shooting. He starts shooting me, and then we fucking killed each other again. I was like, fuck, this sounds great, sounds like a really cool game. I was like, how the hell did you get to your body so fast? He's like, ah, fuck, help you take your shoes off. The hell you dressed like a chicken. Man. It's gonna it's pretty fun. The map is massive. We've only made it to like the first little town there, and it's like huge map, huge, huge, huge huge. I like the idea of it. If the game functions properly, I would play it. But yeah, wait, it's it's very performance heavy, like oh my god, the Unreal Engine five. It looks beautiful. It looks amazing. Again, you can also run. Why what's with the ads ing like you aim down the field of view doesn't change at all. Yeah, it changes a little tiny bit. Yeah, well, it just puts your gun in your sight, in the middle of your screen and takes up space. Like why even fucking bother? That I think is more realistic because whenever you look down an iron site, it's not going to magnify anything. In real life, you're not going to magnify anything looking down an iron sight. It's not an iron sight though. It's like a digit the digit dot like a like a scope. Oh I don't have that one on the M four. It's got like a little square. It's like a hollow site should have some magnification, but it just like it's super far away from you and it's just in the middle of your screen. Like what is the point of this, Like, just just make it like c us go and nice. It looks real, nice, real nice. So I've got that running at like I was playing it at four K at sixty FPS with a little bit of upscaling on there, and it looked unbelievable, like the shadows, the lighting, Oh my god, it's unreal. And then I was like, I'll play it without some upscaling because I could. I could notice little things in the background and like the far the view kind of like wishy washy because of the upscaling. So I went down the two K running it. I locked it at sixty fps because anything over sixty I find it made it all jittery. So I locked it at sixty and it's smooth for me. It's smooth at two K resolution, high ultra graphics. It looks unreal. It's sick fucking sweet. Wow. And when you go into like these like shacks and these buildings, the lighting is really cool and I and all the items and the models look super realistic, very very cool, cool, very cool. Yeah, And I don't I don't think it's going to come out wow shocker. But it's early access, so unreal council can't handle that anyway. Consoles dying, golbuncles are dying. Yeah, soon the next Xbox Goblins, the next Xbox is just gonna be a PC. Boys, it's just gonna have Windows operating system. No, it shouldn't have Windows. It should have like, it should have some kind of OS that is lighter but can run ex's and still has like the same underlying architecture. So you can install Steam, you can install up game Store exs like Steam. That's where I think they're going. I think that's what the very light windows, like Windows light that doesn't have all the fucking services and everything and all this crap. I think that's where they're going. That's what it should do. Yeah, because I heard the rumors of like Epic Game Store coming to Xbox and Steam coming to Xbox. Like, imagine if you could just play your Steam games on Xbox. Yeah, how crazy would that be? I have a lot of Steam games, a lot of Steam games, like exactly. And then and then it would realize it knows what hardware you're playing on, so it just locks the settings to whatever. Yeah, because that works on that, you know what I mean? Yeah, who's next? Who's up? I beat Final Fantasy seven rebounds? Oh wow, wow, that's right. I didn't tell you guys because I wanted to save it for this podcast. That we do this momentous occasion. But yeah, it took me sixty eight hours. Oh my sixty eight hours. And I mean, what can I say? Uh, I don't know what the fuck was going on. We'll say that, like, I don't know who this Nomora Numora guy? What is his name? Nomura Nomura? This guy's crazy, He's crazy. I didn't know what the hell was happening half the time he did the Kingdom Arts games and all the all the Final Fantasy games that you see a lot of belts and like cheap chains, chains and belts, it's well, yeah, I'm fucking telling you that right now. Go look up a file. If the main character has a bunch of belts hanging from his pants or chains, it's the stuff. Okay, well I don't know about that, but I mean belts and change. I'm kind of torn. I have mixed feelings for sure, like the amount of stuff that was good and the amount of stuff that was just like, dude, what is this? I like in terms of the story, I didn't really like it. It. It's completely different obviously at this point than the like after the end of the first after the end of remake, it completely like separates from the original so that it's completely different. But like the mini games and the like the visuals, the the combat is good. That there's so many things that were good, but a lot of things that were just like why the fuck did you do this? And including a lot of the stuff that I had problems with in the first one and remake, like why are you making me do this? Like walking from here to way over there and you won't allow me to run. You just make me walk from here to there to take like fifty seconds to do this for no reason, Like it's completely immersion breaking, like when you could have just like the tempo of the pace of the scene would have been just better if you would have just right after the other, you know, kept it going. But no, he'll make you walk, And it happened in and multiple times in Rebirth during like a dramatic part of the story, like he'll give you back control of your character and make you walk from here to over there really slowly because like you're injured. Oh ah yeah, and it takes me thirty five fucking seconds, and I'm just like, whoa can't run And I'm like mashing my control. Just let me continue. But what's happening in the story, and he makes me fucking completely breaks like any semblance of like a temple or a you know what I mean. It's just mind numbing, Like this guy's an idiot, Like if that's his fucking choice to do that, like it's so fucking stupid, and that happens multiple times. I'm just like, bro, I just want to finish this fucking game now. Yeah. Namura did the same thing to Nave for Final Fantasy because Nave went to go play Nave from Gaming Together Pod he went to go play Final Fantasy ten, who we're also did, and he's like, some of the fucking choices that guy makes in that game is just unbelievable. Yeah, it's some of the some of the stuff is super yeah yeah, but like yeah, I mean, big, big ending boss fight that was like happening between fucking realities. It was pretty crazy. That was cool, and it sets up the next one. But yeah, I mean, I'm glad I played it. I guess overall, this milk machine just to milk you guys, keep you in the game, milk you. I guess it's too far to quit now I have to play the next one. I guess yep, I'll let you borrow this one if you want to play it. I don't even want to, to be honest, it's pretty good. I think I'm done with Final Fantasy games as a whole because of how they've turned the wall, because of what they've turned them into. They're no longer what I enjoyed. Like I enjoyed my turn based combat. I enjoyed the story heavy turn based combat stuff. It's just vanished. Now it's gone. It's not in any Final Fantasy games, and that's what I like, and now they don't do that. I don't want to play them. I don't want to play sixteen only. I played fourteen because it was an MMO. Right. I hated fifteen. I fucking hate that game. Drove me. You finished that one? I never finished it. It wasn't amazing, No, it wasn't. It wasn't good. I didn't think it was good, like it was good your stupid radio and the characters a man. I didn't. I didn't think anyone was cool. Again. It was Mura again with the belts, buckles and stars. But we got it. I got it for Christmas, so I was like, okay, well I'll beat it and then I'll sell it like a hot potato people. You guys, You guys also have this sentimental attachment to a lot of the Final Fantasy games from back in the day, because you played seven, you played eight, and nine were the big ones that I remember. What was the one with the Titus there with the yellow Jacket's ten? Yeah, that's ten. That's what I played. Ten. I was like ten, It's okay from what I remember, but like guy showed up, that's had the attachment that you guys did. I loved the music and that was it. So I actually never got into the Final Fanteams because I think I was just a late a late comer to like knowing what they're true, like them and their best forms way back in the day. So I tried fourteen online and that was the one MMO they did or did they did do more than one? I don't remember. Well they did fourteen and then it was just an absolute piece of shit, like performance wise mechanics, and they were like and they like tore it down, and then they re released fourteen and called it Rebirth Reborn. Okay, I don't remember. I remember having one on PC because I had bought it and I was playing on my Asis, my gaming laptop, the one that basically just fell apart on us. So yeah, I played one of them. I was like, it's cool because it's like an MMO whatever whatever. But and I remember buying the one with the chick with the pink hair there whatever name was thunder thirteen Lightning Lightning. Yeah, yeah, and I tried playing that. I was like, I just couldn't get into it. And I was like, I don't know, maybe I'm missing something, I think, but they know you would like Rebirth. I think you would like it just for the other stuff. Like, well, I did not like Remake at all. I played like that you played it five or six hours only this shit. Yeah, Remake was worse, but that's because there was more of that shit that he made you do that you didn't like need to really do, like side quests that he made you go do side quests before you could progress. Like there was a few parts in Remake where it's like, okay, you're in this area, now go do a couple of side quests while this while you wait for whatever. Yeah, yeah, he's like, why just let me go? But that was way worse in that game, for sure. But this one isn't as bad, but they're Like I said, the only the only thing that I had where those little parts that were like immersion, breaking to the story, to the scene that was happening at the moment. There wasn't a lot of that other shit, Like you don't have to do some quests. You can do the whole thing, but it's just those things during the main quest that's just like, oh, let's take a whole minute to try to walk from here to there without running for no reason. You know, sometimes because you see up there and you're down there. Now go walk to Cephroth and you're like, I'm injured. They get they get in their heads, they get in their heads. They just have to make the more realistic. Oh, you wouldn't be able to run, he's injured. How can we make this more immersive? Okay, we'll just cut just cut it from there and show him arriving at him. What's the point of doing the walk? What is the is the actual point of doing There's no taking thirty seconds. It's stupid to walk from here to there. It just pisses you off. Really good at that. Some developers are amazing at that, Like the Uncharted games will do ship like that and like, but but there's crazy fucking ship happening around you as you're doing that, and I'm like yeah, and you're like getting so because you're like die but you're like dragging yourself over the ground and then shit collapsing, like that's when it's cool. Yeah. No, it wasn't like that, not at all, not at all. But yeah, what else? Uh, I've been playing a lot of APEX on PS five actually just fun. I've been fucking getting pretty good on the sticks. Boys, I'm getting pretty fucking good on the sticks, Okay, on the roller. I just have to say that right now. And my kill death ratio is actually gone up while playing on PS five, you know, wow, like my overall because it's shared now. Oh yeah, but like I was like one point six on the season and I play like a bunch of hours on PS five, playing fucking games, getting tons of kills, getting wins, and my fucking KTR for the season went up to like points one point seven, which means I got higher than one point six. Obviously, it was sick. And I'm playing in one hundred and twenty fps ultra performance mode on PS five and it's a bit blurry, but the input lag and the frame rate is just it's definitely worth it, worth the extra little blur. I was playing some Apex with scuirty work, and I am so bad at that fucking game. Gotta put in the hours, man. No, so we don't do the Battle Royale. We just do the other stuff because I can't do that. I can't do the Battle Royal because I don't see anybody for you got to play the three strikes and then I got face to face with somebody and they're ways faster than me, and I'm dead and I have to fucking redo this bullshit again. Like it's the stupidest game mode. Battle Royales are fucking dumb, dumb, But do you come play with me? You never play with me, Yeah, because you're like coach cool, because you're bad the game. I'm trying to tell you how to be good. I have no patience for that ship. Zero, have zero patients. You fucking drop down, run around, collect the ship, and then like the moment I meet someone, it's game over. I gotta go back to the menu, wait, drop again, do this over and over again. No, no, no time. You got to play the new game mode the Three Strikes game mode, the Post Malone game mode control. I played the control and the game gun. I like those. I like those. Those are good, okay, But the three Strikes mode it's like you get to respawn, like you get three squad wipes. I don't want to play anything that post Malone has developed, or it's awesome, it's great, and you can't get finished, like you can't get full killed. You get knocked and then you become a ghost. A ghost and like immune and res is take like a third of the time, so they like get you up really quick. So it's crazy. So like if you get knocked and you have a lifeline, it's just like you res immediately and you start fighting again because they can't full kill you. It gets nuts. It's fucking sweet. And then you die and you just drop right back in and you can drop right back on everything spot and start fighting the guys again. It's fucking wild because you'll wipe us squad, you'll get third partied and you fight them, you kill them, and then the first squad that you killed is already fucking dropping back up back in on you, and you're just like you're like and it can get absolutely insane. Like there are some games that I got I don't even know it was like five or six k damage or something like that because people were just constantly just dropping back in. I had like fifteen kills and we won. And we didn't die a single time that game, Like, we didn't get wiped a single time. It was fucking nuts. But it's sweet, and it's the most popular LTM by far in in the lifespan of the game, so like they brought it back, but it's originally post malones like event game or game mode. It's fucking sweet. But yeah, I mean that's how you get better at the game too. You play that and you're fucking constantly fighting, you're getting better. You you know what I mean. I've got a lot of games to play, you know. You compress the learning curve that way you condense it. If you play that kind of match. I feel like that probably good for a little warm up. But like, what's the difference between like control or you're still learning to play the game and the character is like that's I become complacent and lazy, And I'm like when when what do you mean? Like when I'm running around looting things and I don't see anybody for X amount of minutes. I'm like, so stop looting, fucking go hot drop and the I'm like oh, and then we're like just let our guard down for two seconds to get into this building. And there's some guy like camping there shoots me in the head. Oh that happens. Rats, Rat's gonna rat. Rat's gonna rat. That happened to me the other day. I fucking lit one guy up and I'm like chasing him in and I chased him in a building. His fucking idiot teammate was literally prepped in the corner. I'm just like, you fucking loser. Yeah, no, thanks, next bom. Well, I'm still be just playing some dragons dogma oh two yeah, just kind of checking off these quests that mister I think his name is Brandt or whatever, the black dude. They're the tenant fella trying to prove. I don't know if that's a spoiler or not. Maybe I shouldn't say that anyway. That's but I ran into some no, no the context of the story, but I ran into some weird like some some a few things. But there was this quest bug that I was doing, and I'm pretty sure it was a bug, but I don't know for sure. You have to you have to free as certain someone from a jail cell or attempt to, you have to go make contact with him for the main quest. And I went down into the cellar, into the jail house we'll call it on one of the oh yes, yeah, yeah yeah. And I get there, and I was on discord with the guys and I was just like, Okay, I'm going to play a little bit of Dragon the Dogma. So I ran into where I was supposed to go down in the cellar. And as soon although it happened last night even too, but as soon as I got into the cellar, I hear the battle music. As soon as I get as soon as I walk it, not even down into the jail, but like as soon as I walk past the guard at the door into the tower, noah, you can't walk past them. You're not supposed to be there, right, well, hang on, So I walk in. This was on discord of the guys. The battle music starts. I go downstairs and I go look for the jail cell and I run into a couple of guards and they're like, they'll just say something random, they'll see me, and then like twenty seconds later, I'm like I start getting hit and they're just like shooting arrows at me and fucking just crushing me with their swords. I'm like, what is happening right now? Am I not supposed to be down here? Like there's no indication of anything. You can't sneak in this game, so that's out of the question. You can't sneak. No what I can't sneak? And when I was given this question, I was like, how the fuck am I supposed to do that? Because it's like I think he the captain, was like make sure you're not seen or some shit. I remember there being a question that came up in my mind, like okay, but I can't sneak, So how do they expect me to do? Is do I just kill everyone in the way, because that's what you do as a fighter, That's what I want to do as a fighter. Anyway, So yeah, that was happening, and it happened several times. I think three times on discord with the guys. I was like, Okay, I'm doing something wrong. I'll go do something else whatever, And then like just last night, I was like I'll throw this on and i'll play a little bit more and I'll try that again. But this time I remember, or at least I stopped to talk to the guard at the doorway and he's like, ah, here, you've been granted permission to come down here. I was like, maybe I didn't talk to him last time, but there was no conversation. It was just he was just like, you've been granted here, you've been granted access, and that was it. That's the end of the conversation. So maybe I didn't talk to him last time. I don't know, but I talked to him this time and I went in, but the battle music started again. I was like, what the fuck? But then I go down there and I didn't see any guards and I just went right into the jail house. It's right into the cellar room, and I opened the cellar and I talked to the quest's contact. I was like, okay, So nothing happened that time, So I don't know if it was just a fluke or because I spoke to buddy at the door. But I still heard battle music, so it didn't make any sense. So there is sneaking, but there's no indication, so you just have to look for their viewpath. So how I did that one is you can go down into like the slums it's called Yeah, you go into the slums, and then there's a way to go up the up the mountain path a little bit and then into the basement of the jail of the jail, and then there's two guards. There's two guards that walk around the jail area, and there's two pillars, yes, and you just run behind the pillar and you wait for him to have his back turn to you, and then you can sneak up behind him and then get into the jail cell that way. But there's no indication that you're like hidden or whatever. You just have to Yeah, it could be hidden. And what I ended up doing in the jail in the cellar room that last night, so I was able to do it. But now I'm kind of and then your pawns can't come with you in there, right? Is that the spot there? Like, Lord, I'll have to leave you now. It's so funny. So I brought I brought all those people down to the doorway where my pawns were hiding or waiting, and then I just killed everybody and I tossed them over the mountain tossed them into the the motion. I love that game disposing of the bodies, but I just reached another like it just after that point, I'm and I don't want to I just don't want to look shut up right now. I'm not ready to be like, oh, I'm going to look this up on Google because I'm impatient. Like I'm fighting with that. The question in that game though, like they're very vague, the description it's vague. Yeah, so like you get there, you're like, okay, what am I? What am I doing right now to the question and don't tell me? I don't like that. But I have to find a kid no no, uh uh, a location that's rich with tomes in order to convince Buddy to leave the jail because he a library. The only thing that will let him allow him to leave is is knowledge. So I have to find somewhere that has a ton And I'm like, okay, I'll go around to the castle, but I'll remember Pam doing that quest. Yeah, but all the guards are like it's in the slums. I'll just tell you like you can't be here. I'm like fox sake, I'll go to another door and like you can't come in here, like, shit, so I can't go down what happens? Yeah, because what happens is they'll tell you like, oh, find this library or whatever, and that's it. Yeah, but to find that library, you have to start another quest and go through another quest line, right, And so I started doing about just sign you where you're like, oh, I don't want to do this right now, so I'll just exactly, But like, no one's gonna know that until they just start picking up quests. Yeah, you know. That's what's the problem with this game is the questing system isn't really but if you just I mean, it's pretty straightforward though, if you just do the quest, then you'll find it. So I think that's what I've said adopted. It's just like okay, well I'll start doing a bunch of quests then. So I did just do the quest. Yeah I did some side quests. But what's great about this game is you you kind of want to do everything because it's just the way that you explore and do the game is like you're going to collect these questions because they're they're great to collect and do. Yeah, you know what I mean. Yeah, I have been enjoying exploring still, I rescued a man's brother from the monsters in the woods because he was worried about him. And you know what I really like about this game is the h like the I don't know what you would call it, the wardrobe design very cool because it's it's drawing a lot from the Middle Ages, more so than I ever would have expected from like some fantasy game. Like I'm like attention to like the what everyone's wearing, almost like almost the same kind of passion of accuracy like that they would have put in Henry, you know, kingdomcom or whatever, but it's still fantasy, like the ridiculous huge swords and shit. But yeah, I was just like looking at like the daggers they had on their belts and they're like Rondel daggers, like really cool accurate little details like oh shit, So I'm just constantly kind of surprised by little things. But yeah, I rescued his brother. That was fucking fun. And uh, I delivered a letter to Melv for this one capt or. This one captain's the watchman's wife or whatever that, and you get, yeah, and it's just like Dragon attacking Melv, the city of Melv, the little town and I was like, oh shit, I suddenly have to fight off this fucking humongous dragon. But like everyone is attacking it and it's got like eight bars. Is that the pustule dragon? I don't know. I don't know the name of it, but we're all attacking it, and like I'll watch the damage of it. It's like somebody's doing a shitload of damage here. I don't know who it is, but it's probably my rogue was one of them. It was not me, that's for sure, because like I was looking at what I damagized doing your pause are damaged, Well, thief does tons of damage. I'm going to be a thief for sure. Yeah, I was crazy, but like I was in them on its back and I had that stab move or it was like yeah, because I think it's called uh in pale or some shit where like you jump and you do this as a fighter, ye, and then you just keep hitting the button. Then you keep spamming. It's different than just the regular attack on when you're on the back. So that was really cool. But luckily it wasn't one of those fights where they expect you to like finish it because it like flew off or whatever and you defend the town yet again, so that was crazy. And then in order to get there though with the letter, they're like, take this ox wagon. I was like, okay. So I was like, this is kind of cool. It's like a way to fast travel. I enjoy that because I think it was the first time that they tell you like that's how you can do it. You find these ox wagons and you pay one hundred gold or whatever to get from A to B. And I was like, okay, so, but you have to even in the morning. So I get I start this ox wagon thing, I pay buddy, everybody gets in the aux wagon and it just starts crawling. It's just like out of the gate, right, And I'm like, this is fast travel, Like I can run fast with that, Like what is going on? And Megan's here, she's just watching it. Yeah, yeah, I know. So I was just like, what is this, Like, what is this seriously how I'm expected to travel in this game? And I'm just like I stand in the back of the cart and just like standing ending out the door and it's just like crawling along the road and my ponds aren't even in it and just walking out like walking up. They're like running. I was like, this is like just travel, this is not fast travel. So but then I saw that it said sit and doze off so you could like skip the time, right. Holy fuck. It was funny because I was like, is this a joke? Like are they getting really realistic? I don't know, but I like that all people got ambushed in the middle of the night by goblins. It was sweet. And then like because you wake up or whatever and the whole fucking thing's on fire and then you got to come out and start fighting everything and there was like then like wolves came in. I was like, holy shit, this game is chaos, but it's so cool. So that was kind of my my re experience playing. I just want to play more. Like it's hard. I'm finding it hard to sit down. I know, like three hours like of game time. I can only get like an hour in or whatever, and like you can't get that much done. The one deniers at the job are kind of like because I liked to game at night, I can't game during the day. But it's hard, So I'll start playing it soon probably, Yeah, John, I'd like to see I'd like to hear what you would say would be the game of the year between The Final Fantasy Rebirth and The Dragon's Dogma. The Dragon's Dogma was so fucking good. I don't think Final fans Reburt's gonna get a Game of the Year and played any other games. It's literally the only game I've played this year, and I don't think it's gonna get Game of the Year. So can we give Apex Legends the Game of the Year. No, Nope, we cannot. Oh, okay, well anything else now? That was just Dragon's Dogma for me. All right, We're gonna head into today's topic and continue the AI video Game Battle Royale. After a word from our VR sponsors.

Okay, we're back and we're gonna continue the AI video game Battle Royal today with the main event being Kratos versus Link Haha, wow, and that's gonna be brudonculous. But first we've got a little uh prelore interruption. Okay, so I can read that it's called Bowser's cunning scheme in the shadow draped reaches of his grand castle. Bowser brooded over his next course of action. His green, scaly hand tapped an inconcessant, incessant rhythm on the arm rest of his throne. Each beat a testament to his growing anxiety. With Mario's triumph over Sefarroth, a ripple of unease had cascaded through the corridors of the castle, setting the stage for Bowser's crafty machinations, machinations, machinations. Bowser, knowing he had to eliminate Mario before the next round, contemplated his options. It was when Camick, his loyal magic coopa, floated into the throne room that that a sinister idea began to shape. Mashta, why not use the very realm that Mario loves to our advantage, Chemick suggested, waving his scepter with an air of malevolence, a little magic here and a little deception there. Nodding, Bowser dispatched Camick to enchant a part of the Mushroom Kingdom, a location Mario knew all too well, but would not suspect had been tampered with. The plan was as brilliant as it was treacherous. Browser could create an exact replica of Peach's castle designed to lure Mario into a trap Internet Bowser. As the tournament progressed, Mario was given a mysterious map hm purportly purportedly war host Annual Annual, an annual annual needing of, leading to where Peach was held captive within the castle grounds. The map, infused with Camick's magic, led Mario not to the real Peach, but to the enchanted decoy of her castle. Upon arriving, Mario, feeling a surge of hope and anticipation of rescuing Peach and advancing in the tournament, hurried through the grand doors. Instantly, the gates clang shut behind him. The castle was darker, corridors twisted into a labyrinth mazes, unlike the familiar halls that he knew so well. Mario pressed on, driven by the thought of Peach waiting for him. Yet each step forward twisted the magical noose tighter. The walls themselves seemed to whisper, slinking closer with his every breath. Unknown to Mario, this castle was designed to sap his strength, each room leeching a bit more of his energy. Holy shit, this is crazy, Bowser. Finally he reached what appeared to be the heart of the castle, a grand hall bedecked with portraits of past victories, a site meant to distract and delay. As Mario paused, bewitched by these artifacts, Bowser watched through a magic mirror from his real castle. It's like pictures of Peach, and like lingerie, and like making of Bowser, like making out with Peach. Mario, weakened and lost in a monstrous, magical fast miles seemingly facsivily Jesus, like a fax machine. Oh okay of seemingly endless chambers, would not make it back to the tournament grounds in time for his next battle. As the final seconds ticked down, elsewhere, a figure on the tournament grounds stood unopposed. We don't know who that is. Bowser's trap had not only drained Mario's physical strength, but had also eradicated his chances in the competition, ensuring he could not be the hero to triumph over Bowser unbnounced to Mario, trapped an illusion of heroism, the real battle continued without him. Mario is not there anymore. Mario is now trapped in a magical, imaginary stupid the A I will just make Mario win, so we're not going to let that happen. Wait, so he's out of the tournament. Yep, if you can see, uh what, well, well we'll have the a I write him in later. But as you can see, whoever won Againstep because was so powerful I said winner. Bowser is going to make a little surprise entrance and do some tricks because we had to figure out a way to resolve the issue with the amount of heroes and the laddering system. That was my fix. Okay, so now interesting, We're only down to the last two heroes who are I guess Krados and Link. So this is the last fight before Bowser has to face one of these fucking guys. Would cool? Bowser versus Link would be a cool, like actual like Nintendo fight, you know what I mean? Shall we begin? Cue the dramatic ambiance in the eternal twilight of the Sylvan Veil, whatever that is. The evening air was thick with whispers of ancient trees and the soft glow of enchanted flora. Underneath this unearthly light, two figures moved silently, each unbeknownst to the other's presence. The mystic atmosphere of The forest, with its flora aglow and fauna unseen, promised more than just natural beauty. It hinted at a hidden power and timeless spirits. Ooh. Kratos, the brawler of gods, walked with a heavy yet determined gait. His mind was set on tracking a mythical beast harboring ancient secrets. A series of circumstances had led him here into the heart of this other worldly forest. Cratos gripped the Leviathan axe, its frosty chill almost blending with the cool air of the Sylvan veil, his blades of Chaos and Draupna spear secured firmly at his side. Meanwhile, Link, dressed in the iconic green garb, the iconic green garbage of the Helian hero To garbage bag, was equally resolute, but moved with a contrasting lightness, his steps nearly soundless. Atop the soft forest floor, he sought a sacred artifact, guided by the prophecies and celestial omens, deeply aware that his path was one of destiny and burden. Uh oh, destiny, I don't like this density. Their paths converge near a luminous pond. The surface mirroring the strange celestial colors above. Link was examining some ancient rooms near the pond's edge when Kratos emerged from the shadows. Seeing the armed figure, adorned and unfamiliar, at clearly powerful armaments and exuding a potent aura, Kratos's warrior instinct surged, believing this stranger to be a divine sentry guarding his fated challenge. The Spartan's eyes narrowed, gripping his ex tightly. That is cool way to come up with. How it's not a misunderstanding. You know what I mean, right, Link, sensing the looming presence, turned just as Cratos decided on confrontation over a query. The first clash was a thunderous collision of steel Link's master Storre met the cold magic of the Leviathan axe. Sparks flew illuminating the dark edges of the Sylvan Vale. Cratos attacked with the ferocity of a seasoned warrior, each swing of his axe an echoing boom through the forest. Link dodged effortlessly, his agility and training allowing him to weave around the brute strength of his opponent. He responded with swift strikes from his master sword, occasionally parrying with his shield, each move accompanied by tactical foresight. The battle escalated as Kratos unleashed the blades of Chaos, sh sign sound effects, their fiery trail slicing through the air. Link rolled away, barely escaping the searing heat, and retaliated with a series of arrows, hoping to maintain distance. Yet, in this dense forest, where the terrain was as much a labyrinth as the enigmatic energies around, Kratos's close combat prowess forced Link back into melee range. Utilizing the drop near spear with its whistling wind magic, Creatos created a mini tornado, disrupting Link's footing and attempting to overpower him physically. Yet the highly end wasn't deterred. Using his intelligence, he lured Krados towards a narrow pass between ancient stone columns, where the Spartan's movements became hampered. Mmmm huh. This strategic move allowed Link the space to employ bombs coupled with precise swordplay. Yet just as he sensed an advantage, Credos roared into Spartan range. Oh he used his special move the air around him, Tingling with violent energy, His strikes became devastatingly powerful, his speed surge, and his face contorted into one of sheer, indomitable will. Lock. Yes, here we go. Link pushed to his limits, evoking his magic abilities to enhance his strength and heal his wounds, but the onslaught of the Spartan rage was overwhelming. With a final monumental effort, Kratos landed a powerful blow with the with the Guardian shield charged with wrathful magic. The impact was so severe that it flung Link into the trunk of an ancient tree, the force knocking the air from his lungs and rendering him unconscious. Beneath the eerie glow of the bioluminescent leaves wow. As the dust settled, the sounds of the forest slowly crept back into the foreground, the distant call of creatures unknown, the gentle breeze rustling through the trees. Crados stood over his fallen opponent, his breathing heavy but steadying, his heart pounding not just with triumph but with respect, of course, for the warrior who had matched him so closely. In the Sylvan veil. Beneath the watchful eyes of timeless spirits. Crados turned away, knowing the battle was decided, but feeling the weight of the encounter. His path would continue, guided by the scars of battles fought and wisdom gained. The forest closed in behind him. The story of their clash woven silently into the lore of the mystic Sylvan Veil. Wow, this one was a toss up. I did not know who was going to take this one, but it was again, it was the first one. It was the first name. It was the first name. So far it has been the first has been the first name because it's Credos Verse Link. But that was really cool. Like the whole thing, I did enter some new prompts. I said, do not use this as a reason for their encounter. Their encounter leads to a clash born of misunderstandings rather than malice. Told them not to use that. I said, while out exploring Credos and Link encounter each other in the wild. I want you to think of a reason why one of the characters would become hostile towards the other and would want to initiate a fight. But don't base it on a misunderstanding. That's what I said, and it came up with that, which was very cool. Him hunting a mythical beast. That is fucking cool. Does he do that? Him and him? And uh, yeah, I guess him and his son. Yeah, we're teaching him how to hunt and stuff a tree. What is his name? Tress see? And then I put a new line and put calculate the winner of the battle based solely on their strengths, weaknesses, and experience. I said, remove any pre existing bias you may have towards any of these characters, and choose the winner based on strengths, weaknesses, and experiences. Here we go. That was a very good story. The fight scene was cool too. Link bring him into those two columns. But like the power of Credos is just he's just too powerful. Rage mode Yeah, rage mode is just way too powerful and just fucking smashes Link into the fucking tree. The tree. Very cool. Well, that's I don't disagree obviously. Yeah, I mean I think Credos should be should be where he is here in the finals. Yes, creators Creatos versus Bowser. Good luck Bowser. So how we now we have to have a conversation how we want to finish this off? Okay, do we just give it to the AI and let him do what he wants between bows because obviously Krados is going to win against Bowser, right, obviously, I don't know. I should hope we shall otherwise otherwise Peach as as American new as a new husband, yep, and he's a turtle. Yeah, but what what I'll do because we'll have to do the strength and weaknesses of Bowser, and he does use his little magic minions like the minion who trapped Mario. See that's very powerful magic, like trapping Mario in a mystical labyrinth castle like that was pretty sick as well. The conclusion has finally come to us. Next next episode, we'll finally be wrapping up this. I certainly, I certainly think the outcome of either Link or Krados the victor in this fight would have been far more expected or unsurprising than fucking Mario winning against exactly So. Yeah, although it would have been a classic Mario versus Bowser showdown for the final Yeah, but then I'm just then I feel like that's begging the AI for Mario to win. Yeah, it's just I think we had to take Mario out because it's just Mario ripping through all the Mario Mario. Yeah, and he'll just find so dumb like what this just a he'll just find a superstar?
