It's his favorite Star Wars character I'll wait to see racist Oh you kind of you're kind of the only one who can claim ignorance, you know? I feel like you're the only one who can really get away with it is fucking dressed up as Wato It does the voice constantly. That's worse. Wado is worse, right? I't contacted by APC about that. Everyone's real mad at him before it. So yeah, they're going to do something eventually I you don't want to do a J bs that so hard in front of me. I can't help myself. I did he start it. No one canceles Jad. That's right, he's on Jceled. Yeah, ye. Yeah, you can. Jan's from theaboo. Yeah, exactly. I say talk to me about getting canceled. Will you want to an something you want to say?isten. I did some Googling over the weekend and I've rethought my heroes. That's right. That's right U folks, it is as we mentioned at the tipp top here it Smmer Game Fest a weeek. This is going to be an odd week for us over here at GBHQ U we're going to go down to L.A, see each other and put on a bunch of night shows. willill Printing a tablecloth right now as we week Will I don't have printed point it backwards too And Chuck pointed that out and I was very confused But it's a heat transfers. Yeah. It gets printed on paper and then a heat transfers to tablecloth. So there we. Listen, I was exploiting the fact that my wife does this for work. And I was like, she's printed she did custom napkins for our wedding and all this sort of stuff. And I was like, hey, if I sent you two logos could you print something tomorrow U so She is printing a eight foot tablecloth that we need to use somewhere O else I' very angry. We will drape businessers We will drape it around Mike Minoti Oh, he can wear like a clo, perfect. Yeah. It'll be like Stellen Skararsgard's character in Dune Right? Yep. He's like the goopy boy who I don't know why I liked that silence. I was gonna put that one simmer. I sure. yeah folks. How's everybody doing was Iking about just about Beavers. You know that they think that the reason beavers damn rivers is because they don't like the sound of running running water. It gives them anxiety. And they're like I'm just gonna to go fuck up this river because it's really bothering me. That actually is a knock against them for me. I think you like a battle By. Yeah, like I'm a big sound machine guy and that's just incompatible with my sleep habits. So I guess Beavers's minus one today. Be. Please line up Beaver Badger Otter. Can you all tell the difference? Yes..ure Yeah how would you describe it Well, Well, the beaveres flat tail. Beaver's got the flat tail thing for sure. Oter oters are just obvious. They're so cute.'slyice. Okay, Otters are spvelt Yeah, And they're swimming even more than the other ones sure. Okay. And imagine pirie dog Yes. M your cats look like toone I like Yes. I know the difference between all these can only understand animals as they are represented in the Lion King. How have we not pitched taking Dan to a zoo and then obscuring zoos? But then obscuring like the plaque and ask need to identify the animal Remember going to the chocolate museum with him, Jan. There was so little information to absorb there. it was. I know more about animals than I do about chocolate. I'll tell you that. I but here are say You say you could not tell the difference between a badger and a beaver and an otter Those specifically, I get mixed up because they're all just kind of like fuzzy guys. There's a bunch of them around here apparently. Yeah They're just like in rivers and stuff and I can't I don't know the difference. Tell me more about this lineup, whereere they all like at the same place of a crime? There was a jewelry store heist, yes, They were all in a car together. They were just watching fike Cooper had was busy that day. so clearly it wasn't him Yes, yes. And you were just watching fantastic, mrter Fox Whatest Nerson I never saw that one. Is that good? I like it's great. Oh it's very good. You're crazy, yeah. H You're crazy. It's good. I used to be a big Wes Anderson guy like tenendant Bombs in the restaurore, then I kind of like didn't see him for a long time. Yeah, he got woke That's right He's the What the own temple Bone templ is good That's the that's a sequel right to some other stuff. twenty eight. I've never seen twenty eight days or weeks later, but reallyan Hansen has pestered me for months to see the Bone temple with him. and I finally did last night and I'm glad he pestered me because that movie was good as hell. D saw the first twenty eight years later Yeah we saw that in the theaters. then we didn't see this one until now and it really is kind of like a kill Bill volume one and two situation where it's like, oh I think you put them together and you got a better overall thing going on I really arg in the pr. The first one is excellent. I think twentyenty eight days later Canders Oh the first one Yeah. Yeah. Okaykay. Ies. Yeah, I'm in on it. E totally the zombie stuff. Yeah, know, this one was intense too. Bone temple, but yeah, liked it a lot. Yeah. I watch Go aad. I was just gonna ask. what's this new Spielberg disisclosure dayay? Like I keep hearing people talk like good things about it, but I' he's an alien. I honestly think the trailer is so the opposite of compelling. I just feel like Man, I don't care. I just don't care. We just had a box office that shows that Spielberg has aged out of Rev relevancy forever and ever. Yeah. Where's the last good Spielberg Ready Player one obviously ready playler one every. Everyone lik West story. No one saw it. Everyone liked Westide Story though, right? It's the family one, the one about the family The Fable' good Layablemans was good. I liked. I, the last one I liked? Let me see. Del was his last goodie one I just think like I don't know the disclosure day stuff like I think there's something that is very sort of antiquated about the big like event moment in a movie, right? Like U I just think that's a tired genre Yeah. I also feel the same way where I'm like when I see stuff from it, I am not compelled. Yeah. I don't think I' like, I don't give a shit what you're doing in this movie, man I'm just realizing, I haven'tked Spieelber movie since two thousand two. You did minority repeport and catch me if you can in two thousand two. Yeah the world in zo five was fine. I was o it Did Brg Spies Bridges Spies was good. What the fuck is that Okay, so you hadven't seen many of maybe not I want and look like I Lincoln was born. I Lincoln majority. I've watched that movie like six times Lincoln's. Lincoln's great. Yes It just, you know I't know U Denton wasose in He's been blowing Tensions. Yeah, he's the worst. He's the worst I do enjoy Tinton actually U It's so it's a lost Indiana Jones movie. It's so good. U I also watched obsession over the weekend and hey, gang, let me tell you, that's not a movie to try and wind down the weekend on because I was tense the whole time. after I left My feet were cramped Did you think? That's what was gonna happen? I didn't think That's what was going to happen. I just thought like, oh, I'm I watch horror movies. I can take this. And let me tell you Y boy loves a good four by three and a bunch of weirdos and that movie's full of it Let me ask you this, Jan. Yeah, without, you know, everyone probably understands what that movieies. Did it earn the four by three Everyone's doing this shit. and I don't think everyone earns the four by three L Salt burn you didn'tn that four byx three. Oh, salt burn. I like salt burn. I like salt burn for the most part, didn't earn that four by three. It did not earn the four by three. You know what, I'll say obsession did. Also shoestring budget. they couldn't afford the rest of the frame. I get it It's pixels. That's money on the table board, you know, Yeah That is very much a dad aspect ratio joke. Good job. No, like when you go into the editing if they do the film, they cut off the rest and then they just refund that, right? It's a rebate. saave you some money if you I turn this into a four by three. Just It' more. normal film. makes sense to me. Thank.ix was less mess. There we go. It takes more time to double thirty five. That's right. I think it takes more time to render, maybe. Yeah. Yeah, of course. Thank you. S see, it makes sense out there U Anything else' agree Pop it off a gang that you'd like to talk about before we move on with the show Now. I was gonna ask about free will during the mic check, but I got shut down Oh, very good. We're not doing that. Good idea, Jan. Good idea there. I was worried about saying I wanted to talk about something because there's one guy who leaves a mean comment about me in every YouTube video, comments thing But think I think Sean banned him so I guess I'm free. I'm free again now to talk. Oh yeah. There we go. We have free will to ban people. That's right. Well, not me, I'm afraid, but Seaan just did it as soon that. I was like, don't pan him. I want to see what me think he says about me next. And Seaan's like, No, he makes our YouTube channel worse. Good point Talk shit get hit speaking about free will. We freed will because you and Mr. Baclar have checked out a certain game featuring a bunch of woodland creatures. Uh, Dan, real quick, real real test. the What animal is Falcoco Falcon. Pappy a hare or a rabbit slippy Frog toad, Sillppy toad All right last one Fox McLod He's a fox. Fantastic. ten out of ten, Dann, proud of you What do you think I thought was I thought Facco was a Lombardi. He's Italian. No A my Lord How do we transition into this conversation now? Oh my gosh.kes. But you too checked out Starfox last week. Yeah That's right. we traveled into New York City and we saw some Starfox. Will and I did. We had a lot of fun playing it. We played it for about an hour or so. Um What was it Fs Th two different modes. we played multiplayer we played some of the single player And then I think thates was yeah, that was it. So it was Yeah, gohead. Well I was just gonna to say it was it was single player single player co op and multipleers. Right with. I was thinking it was a different mode. It was not. There's a good portion of this where Will and I Tandom controlled With Will Aiming and me flying. I tried out the mouse controls which are which is the aiming for the the, you know, the weapons yet Yeah, which was an interesting left brain, right brain experience. I seem to enjoy it. Everyone else watching us seem to enjoyjoy watching us play. Is this when you guys were goofing up and embarrassing the giant bomb name by making a Grub Grub, you got it all wrong. Grub, come on. What do you mean? Noone we told everyone where we were from and we said we finished first. Yeah tootally. No so okay. so I played a good chunk of the single player in the beginning and I gott to say like I have very, you know, loose memories of what that game that this is sort of a complete remake of Starfx sixty four, very loose memories of what the experience was like This lie it's great. I loved a lot of what we saw and played I thought everything really kind of controlled super well. There's like this onboarding sort of virtual area that you start in and then we got into like sort of I assume it was like one of the first missions,'m not exactly sure But it's u it's great. It controls great. It looks phhenomenal. It is really one of the first times I guess Maybe with the exception of the the bonanza where you're like, oh, this is not a switch game that I'm used to looking at. This is on a different sort of level It performs really, really well. And yeah, I mean, that I think like Especially coming from sixty four is like the kind of you know blueprint for what this experience is. it's just For all intensed P it's like a brand new thing. I'm not like, o, you know, I remember this. I remember that. againain, I'm sure people are much more familiar. I think you are will with the game, but like I uh I really dug it. I think like u It's super interesting how they You know, I well, there's like a m In the multiplayer, we understood like some of what they're doing with the cameras and the face tracking and stuff like that, which I think goes about saying like yeay you're going to be one of these characters. you could design your character and like what you want to look like, what you want to talk like. And then when you go into that multiplayer mode You got all the tiles of all your falcos and your slippies and whatever. What was the pig? That was the pig, right?igm. pigma. Yeah, that was fun. That felt good and normal I love that pig. Do he does he look as good in the game as he did in the trailers Yeah, I mean, we saw he was in the some of the cutscenes, right? Yeah, ye. He was in the. Yeah, he was in cutcenes and then he was in that multiplayer mode. We chose him as the face model for Yeah for those matches. incredible I'm excited to see ye Andros head. I love that's one of my favorite last bosses ever. It's just the Andros head with the hands and then turns into the brain with the eyes. I wantna see that now hm U Yeah, so I played it with the Pro controller, which felt really good. It's, you know, I don't think you're going to get that smooth of an experience using JoyCon controllers, but Uh, you know, when we had to do the the split controls, that's hot that's how we were playing the game But Pro Controller feels great with the game, like super tight. would you think your time watching and playing well It was a lot of fun. I I almost said Donkey Kunong sixty four. Star Fox sixty four was A friend's house game. So like anytime I went over his house, it was playing it there Um, and it A lot of a lot of times you get these remakes and they still feel like the old game with just like a coat of paint And this just felt good from the get go. I mean, other than changing the way Star Fox is and not having you on a linear path in those levels everythingvery feels fantastic and remade and put back together Um there were like The interesting tidbits of the you follow Falco one way and you go off on this mission segment or you follow someone else the other way and you go off and fight all these like monkey guys instead of the lizard guys is really neat and cool Uh . sort of flying around with the mouse control and having Jeff Fly was really confusing at first and then you kind of get used to it, but there's still moments where it's like He's like, oh, get over there to that thing. I'm like, you're the one flying. You fly over theres. Yeah, that I don't recommend playlying that way Yeah, that's def the worst way to play It was a little backwards, but it was quite quite fun. The multiplayer, that's not like linear flying, like you're obviously flying all around doing All Range mode. Yeah. And that was very fun. Like you're grabbing Pirates warp in or whatever it is in Star Fox and they have like a package and you fly in, defeat them, steal the package, capture the flag sort of thing And it went really, really well. The O people playing in the session kept joining the good side. So it was just us on the other team with the AI and it wasn't going super great. Yeah the game chat faces were funny. They're They're still in that weird With all those things you think it's going to track your face a little bit better, but it was more like to make a reaction, I was just going like b Yeah like just let the mouth go. And that's mostly it. everyveryone else is because we're all playing this game and just all these faces of Star Fox people just like intensely focused and moving like this and like, but all like three hundred and sixty p U because it's Game chat The thing they did have in that, which none no one used because I guess we're all hideous is you can have it track your face and put like stuff on you rather than grabing one of the characters to be. The menus like Avatar settings, it's like, do you want to be one of the characters? And then below that are all these settings for like different ears. You can do the little like targeting computer thing and all that sort of stuff. And then if you choose the avatar person, it's not until you're in the multiplayer game when you choose your character that you get that character's face or whatever the for the multiplayer match. Hi, man, Nintendo and they're like let's take something that was like in Snapchat from ten years ago and pretend it's a new feature. Like tendencies is so incredible. I love them for that. They're so stupid and weird And they're totally like unashhamed by it. they're just like, yeah, this's just the fully shameless thing. like I look it wills right though. likeike it's it works As good as I guess you can sort of hope. I don't know how much juice you're getting out of that because like you said, you're you're so laser focused on the multiplayer thing that it's like Oh, this is hilarious, but like I need to do something separately to enjoy this and not play it in multiplayer. Well remember you can do that. like you can take that those things into a call where someone else is playing some other game. you could just watch them as as pigma R That's the way to do it. That's the way to do it. Yeah, my new software app. igma download a trial right now. I thinkigma watches Hell yeah. I'm thinking about more of the gameplay that I did with like some of these boss battles were like soup, there's that one robot you're taking down in the earlier section. that was super fun., you know, like I again, I had to kind of relearn all that stuff with u you know, doing like the suomersaults, doing that quick reverse maneuvering U that brake steering, you know, you could like really like bank into a turn really quickly. All that feels really good. And then the alternate route we took after we went, you know, sort of like followed Falco Uh there was that like monkey king fight where he was like, occupying this like transforming spaceship that you had to like fly through an asteroid field to get to at first. Cool, man. Ms It's good. I I'm surprised. I kind of I went into it just sort of being like, oh yeah, like let's see this thing again. but I left it being like I can't wait to play this for sure. And the gamees ag extremely well Yeah. I kept wanting to say it, but I didn't want to come across as like bad or anything, but I kept being like this is on a switch. L it looks this good on a switch It's just, it's incredible. Nice. easily think you can put this in front of Dib and he'll be into it. like I some like they obviously want to attract new audiences and that means the youth Yeah, I was thinking about that You know, it's a good question. u, you know, I think Obviously like they, you know, even part of the presentation which is like and if you've seen the movie, you certainly know that Starfox right showed up and now Homeboy has a new Switch to game I don't, you know, I think yeah, I think there is some of that. I I'm starting to think Dibbs like aging out or some of this stuff where ye he's in the, uh, he's in the valley between u millennial nostalgia appreciation and like you know, Alpha, this is lame sort of thing. I don't know. I'm not speaking for all ten to twelve year olds on in the country, but I do think like there will be a bit of a divided population on the reception of like that character Um because You know, like Star Fox is not like badass, you know, there's like a certain kind of like Sacarine presentation to theventurous at best. Yeah. Yeah, right? Like and you're looking at all these like, you know, Chucky Cheese characters probably knocks the c factor down a little bit for ten year olds. I'm sorry I like them. I like them. around Event you get old enough, you start appreciate slippy again. Yeah Pigma inflates slippy deflates perhaps is what we're So you're left where you start search right there. Yeah, don't do that. The wolf guuy seems cool. St Wol. Well, Star Wolf is cool. Yeah Yeah got a song. There's Yeahah, it's not completely you know Sacaron like there are there are some like interesting, you know, characters there and I do think that update on the whole having seen it in its full final presentation does look good. I think there was a whole to do about nothing with with people's receptions of like what these characters look like And think that's going to die down like Yeah be closer to the game. Yeah, it barely even like occurred to us while we were going through it. But yeah, I I'm into it. I am surprised. It turned me into someone who was Just had a super casual Star Fox relationship and now I'm anticipating this in in a real positive way. Yeah y' got be excited for this now. Yeah, and we'll have some other footage that we recorded up later Ill post at the social and whatnot and It's good stuff Speaking about Nintendo kind of being behind the times with trends that they are picking up. Jeff Grub, you have been playing Peko Nico and Nintendo has figured out You can do funny stuff with pictures Yeah, and and you have that warriorw again that you kind of maybe did too many releases of on Sitch one and kind of, you know, maybe they got a lot of cool off. So instead take all those ideas. making a mobile game that uses your own photos. And I've been playing a bit of it. I definitely you know, we played some on UPF. I'd played some before that and then I played some with my family and that's that's clearly where this game iss going to shine where the people who are in these photos, you go kind of sit there and like hold the phone in front of them andre like, look, look at what you're doing. L're you're eating these like while I'm making your mouth really big and you're eating all these vegetables and stuff, Isn't that sill And everyone thinks it is. Everyone has a really good time now It's not going to turn into some like long session, but for me as someone who likes Warriorware, I'm picking up frequently in between that stuff That's working really well. I am I'm impressed by like how well it uses the photos. Like it kind of just immediately like knows like what the faces are and obviously we've had that tech for a while, but it's like yeah, no, it's like going in the background of some of these photos and even getting some people's faces in that way And I'm glad that it can like It makes it easy to sort of manage your photos in the app. you can say hey, I want to make a new folder and you can like pick your photos and just kind of make a cordant off set of photos so it only uses the stuff you wanted to use. The one issue is you can't use screenshots, even if you like you want to give it permission to do so So it's not like you're going to be able to screenshot screenshot some funny stuff from like a YouTube video and then bring it in. now. If that I think if that photo was already screenshotted somewhere else and you were to like transfer it to your phone then it wouldn't know anymore. It probably wouldn't know or you could like download it from like a Google image search. Those work fine. But yeah, I was kind of doing a mix of some stuff I got from the internet and my own photos. and it was yeah, it worked really well. It's just warriorware though. It really is It's a little annoying like at least in IiOS, you can't just pick a folder in your phhotos app to like, hey, all of these are fine. You have to like individually select every one of them, which like that takes forever. Oh Okay yeah, on Android, there's like Ges me There's no select all on IOS that I've seen a little annoying as far as that goes, but the Warrywar like influences obvious. This is just straight up Warryware with your pictures. But the other thing it makes me think of is I love the Game Boy camera And it would have those little miniigames where it's like you take like three pictures of your face and then you have like a juggling minig game when your face is like reacting to stuff. And it's like that. It's a marriage of Warriorware and like old gameboy camera minig games I u again like face riders and stuff like that. They've had they have a history of doing stuff like this and it's u Yeah, I'm I'm into it. I'm glad they did it's, you know, it's free to free to start. It's a shareware game and then there's two packs that are like sevenenty five dollars I immediately just bought everything and kind of don't regret it. It's still not a ton of stuff, but u It was enough to justify the price to me P's probablyably my favorite thing Nintendo's done on a phone It is. I think that'' my favorite thing since Meet Homo I like me me alomo, right? That's great. Yeah. Yes. M you guys are Dgalia lost haters. No I I have a secret torch for Dragalia lost of course. But yeah, this is this is neat.' This is the sort of tone Nintendo's coming at mobile with going forward, Im I'm interested again. I definitely was like, after the fire Em stuff. I just don't care about the way that they're doing these mobile games, Dragalia Lost Um But with this, it's like, okay, yeah if they're just going to take an idea from one of their existing games at a fun twist that kind of only can happen with them right now on mobile, that's a good fit. I think I still would prefer if this game was on a switch that had a camera and stuff like that, but whatever, it works well on phone Well, you can play this game on your phone and perhaps drive I don't suggest that, but you can watch a phone and drive a forkliff around in crash out crew We check this out during UPF. I think we had a ball of a time here. This comes from the agro crab people who I think have got this. I don't even want to say this specific game is friend slot, but like cooperative chaos Um on lock at this point. It's more like in the overcooked fashion, I would say of just like really chaotic yelling at your friend. Yeah like figuring out on the fly, whateverone's job iseicient of labor. Yeah. Yeah. It's like, okay, we need to get these things over here to these docs over here and then figuring out like, okay, Mike, you're going to get rid of all these cacti that are popping up. Grub, you're going to be, you know, setting up a teleporter to send this honey and bees over here and me and Jaman's like, okay J and I've got Doc A, you've got Doc B and a lot of yelling at each other in between. they did a great job of this. It's a cooperative forklift game. So yeah, it's all about kind of unloading and loading these packages and there's there's four of you and then these there there's these different obstacles like you were talking about Get in between sessions, there is a shop buy things to help like teleporter pads where so you could put the crates on them you kind of don't have to go through the difficult obstacle courseore. sometometimes like honey or gooe on the floor, you can buy these robot vacuum cleaners that can deal with that Yeah, it maybe isn't like Maybe like the silliness factor of like, oh, this person's like talking and it's really funny. Like that aspect isn't there. As much but as a game, like as a cooperative game, it was working really well Yeah, I think we kind of got to a point where we were being pretty cooperative and we were talking a lot. But I think over time, it's like We all kind of figured out like, oh, we may be overthinking some of this stuff. We don't need to be like so precious about like, oh, what's? that you guys tell me what's happening over there. I'll just bring you all the stuff. then one person sits over there and then like can figure that stuff out between the two of them. And it's like, oh yeah, we kind of very quickly got into a groove and that only happens because the game is so well designed and you kind of can quickly figure out what is needed and what is necessary and what is not, what's kind of a waste of time. And I realizeed G go ahead Jim. real quick. I think a thing that also helps set this apart from a game like Overcooked a little bit is the mobility options, right? You have a boost You can drift around corners and you can also Upgrade your forklift during that shop phase that Mike mentioned where you can get new tires, you can get like a spoiler to increase your speed and get little clappy hands for your forks, which is great Oh yeah, yeah. that's good. I liked how much we realized it help when we bought shelves so we can kind of store some of these things, not just store the boocks, but there are some blocks protect like There's like wolf blocks that could like run around and cause muck both. If you put them in their little shelves, they're happy and they're not gonna to move around as much. So storage was important Yeah. it was like in like placing that stuff in a way where it's out of the way and then You know, there's the crash out. the crash up part is if you crash too many times, there's a meter that gets filled up. And then once that's full, you lose control, you spin around wildly. And if you're near one of your friends, there's like a high likelihood. Yeah. You ram into them enough times to cause them to crash out. and then it's like could go back and forth there was definly a time where I ran into Mike and I caused myself to crash out and then I ran into him enough times so that he crashed out then he made me crash out again and We're kind of like dealing this quietly while you two were being very responsible with all the stuff we brought over there. So we were trying to like be quiet and not annoy you guys were a problem too. We're gonna be a lock There's like bowls and voses in the same one you But it's like there's like a part of upgrading your thing It's like, o, you can go faster, but there's also like a fan you can buy to cool yourself off so you don't crush out as fast and things like that. And you know, that mechanic was like something I think we Engaged with a bit, but I think we were also playing well well enough on these early stages that we didn't encounter it that frequently. And then it did start to ramp up Yeah Thats like, okay, I could see how even us playing pretty well are going to have issues on some of these later levels where we have to be extremely careful and really be thinking about this stuff constantly. And how you learn sorry. No, no, go ahead I love how you learn these individual gimmicks each level because it's like, you know, the first level, Grub which just coming in like a bat out of hell and like throwing boxes at us and it was fine and everything. It was fine. But then the second level is like these like barrels filled with like, you know, toxic sludge. And right away Grub's like peeling H you go and throws it and there's just green dew everywhere, like radioactive s it's like, okay, can't do that Yeah. And on top of that, the different levels on top of having those different gimmicks the maps are also different different from level to level. like one' going to figure Yeah another one, it was kind of like a one way so like H Mike and Grub, you guys had to just like be zooming around dropping stuff off while Dan and I are like sorting out all the packages Really fun time. Unfortunately, I don't think this this would be a fun game if you're playing solo dolo It's like overcook. Yeah. It's like overcook. I it' be fine with like one other partner. Like you want to like try it with one other person a're all right I'd be happy to circle back to this one day to check out the later levels and other shows. I we should beat it. I think we should play I think we should beat it together. Not like that guys, come on Mike. I didn't hear that. Mike, Mike just get it out. I did it. I just wanted to look at the camera.. Well, I'm glad that we all dig this. spepeaking about digging or more like burrowing, Dan Riker, you have continued to play Mina the Holler Yeah, I feel like there's been like four or five times now. I've just been like, all right, I'm frustrated. This is like I obviously this is a well made game, but I find it more frustrating than I find it fun. And I think I've like broken through to the other side now where I am admiring this game more than I'm frustrated by it. Like I am still frustrated by it. Sure. It has helped that the game's out now. so if it's just like, Okay, I've been walking around in circles for an hour here. I can't figure out where the fuck to go. There's long plays out there now. I can just go like, oh, I didn't realize there was a fucking bush on the edge of the screen. I can cut down and that opens up this whole other area here. It's like some of this stuff really reminds me of like the first Zelda whered it's like Oh yeah, if you burn this bush in this random part of the map or whatever, there's some stairs. You know, it's like that type of thing. And it seems intentional, like the Zelda influence is obvious. But yeah, like the dungeons are great. like all the like trinkets and everything I'm finding and upgrading my character like I can have like six different trinkets equipped at any one time. So like, okay, tough boss, I'm going to put in this suite of trinkets. If I'm just exploring and I'm trying to like get as many bones as possible, I'll put in like kind of this loadout here. It It's gotten more flexible, it's gotten more fun Ive finished four of the six towers now. I'm on the fifth now. And yeah, like I thought I was going to bail on this one several times and now I'm like, no, I'm in and it's a beefy game. I mean, I'm like twenty plus hours in twenty to twenty five somewhere around there And yeah, I'm I'm liking it now. I don't think it's going to be like, you know Five game of the year for me or anything, but I am on a thumbs up course of this right now. All That's encouraging. I plan I intend to give it another shot myself. I never really giveave it much of a shot initially. I was like, nice handling that review. I'll play some other stuff Um, But yeah, I was like, okay, maybe I maybe I'll just put on the back burner, but hear and you get over the hump there' the one thing I kind of needed to hear. It's like I think that might be the same thing that I go through It's good even though it is influenced by Lyink's Awakening. So don'try about that. Okay, ye S. I was deeply concerned. Yeah U Before we get to the last two games on the rundown here, Will, is there anything that you've been playing you'd like to talk about Oh, u I have been playing u U that game. double of seven first light. Oh, fantastic. Let's get to it quite good. Im o see, I don't have the rundown, so I had to guess. I It is great. It is fun. I was I was thinking about this when U of use cases for things, but I bought it on PC because it was on sale somewhere And I was like, I must so actually over the weekend, I brought my entire computer down to my living room and plugged it into my u TV and I was like, okay, I guess I'm just I'm going to leave I don't have to work over the weekend.m just going to leave it here over the weekend and play on there. And it actually worked out great Uh, it's it Run's fantastic. I ran into a few issues with some frame rate stuff, but I just I had it running at four K I think it really didn't like that. So I just dropped it down to twenty twenty five sixty and I had the whatever fancy graphic stuff those kids have out now look good But yeah, I did that chest level that you guys had talked about, touched on last week Yeah was super fun It felt like It's funny that level, you're chasing a guy and it almost felt like I was chasing the guy from agent forty seven from hitman. Like during the level. I think there might be some reality there. Yeah Yeah, for sure. I was like, because it keeps like panning.'s like, how does this guy change costumes so fast? And there's there's justifications for that stuff, But during it, you're just like Is that aggeent forty seven? Like arere they gonna to do like some sort of crosssover or something? But it was really fun. As open as those levels are, they do such a great job of guiding you through those levels without feeling like you're being guided. Yeah. But I kept thinking I was making intentional choices And then they would be like, no, this is where you're supposed to be. And I'm like, o, but I could have gone that way and that And it was just really cool how they were kind of figuring all that stuff out. U the beginning was funny because you're assigned on that level, you're assigned to like watch the car at the car park. And I was like What if I just sit here for a bit? Becauseuse I was like, no, I want to listen to the rules. L I don't want to Of course, it's like, oh, I should really go check that out. I'm like, okay, I guess I'll go check it out I Yeah, it's it's really fun. I like Um I like the guy playing Bond. Yeah. I think the personality great. The tutorial section during like Bond's training was so cool because they're like, hey, we get it. You know how to play video games There's none of that do this three times in the arena and beat the guy. It's just like it's cutting through time. you're now learning how to like tackle. you're now learning how to grab, you're now learning. Like some of those you don't necessarily grab right away, but As the game's going, it's showing you those things and letting you like it's like, oh, hit X and A to tackle the guy and do this sort of stuff. So It's very fun. I think it's it's it's also fun. I don't know if you guys did this, but Every time you have a new mission and you're in that Q lab, like there's all new vignettes all around. Yeah. So you just go to the different people. And their vignettes, some of them are like building upon the previous one. Like there's a phone booth that every time you come back to the CQ lab, they have like another part of it open and they're like trying to figure out. and they're like, oh, the gas that was used in this is actually disbanded in the Soviet Union or something. like You talking? And like All the different stuff and they have some bond references like in the clothing room, they have the knife shoes and things like that. But overall like I was excited for this game as soon as they announced it And When it came out, I was like,, I don't know because I was like, do I get this? Do I get Pragmada or do I get Lego Batman And I was like really trying to figure out between that. And then I saw sale and I was like, okay, I'm just going to get back Bnd. And I'm super happy with the choice. Like I'm excited to get those two other games, but It is every time I sit down to play it, I'm like, yes, like let's see let's let's continue watching this movie and like see it's going next. I know that on the internet a lot of folks will get really lost in like the immersion with something like Crimson Desert or Red Dead Redemption two, but I think this is like the type of game type of experience that like I really like to get lost in and it's like Very easy for me at least to like lose several hours Um just getting immersed into a level. likeike I spend way too much time on these levels because like I'm poking and prodding around. I'm listening to every NPC I'm like every time I see a button problem, I'm like, let's see what's up? Okay? Yeah U And I'm really excited to see this game sell very well and also kind of blow up on social media. likeike my algorithm is just filled with people doing like cool action montages of the James Bond game. U didn't see so much of that with Hitman. It took a while for Hitman to kind of like heat up For me, at least and notice it pop up on social media of people doing like fancy Rubbe Goldberg style kills and setups. But with James Bond because the action has been ramped up in such a way. I feel like it lends itself and There still is that stealth aspect if you want to engage with it The four ofiew Chuckleheads recorded a review cast of D zer seven first light. Any other thoughts that you didn't cover there or you want to like bring up here Yeah, yeah, yeah. So the way I show my wife my gameplay now is I'm constantly recording through steam And then I'll like clip it out and just be like, come on, like I know you're just not the thrill is gone, the honeymoon's over. I're gonna sit here with me as we play through this game. So I'm just gonna show you selected parts. So I showed her like you know the part for where you chase zero zero nine to the airport. right Re quick. How does that How is like the steam recording function Has it been working well for y' all? Yeah. It's a shadow play, it's similar to that. Yeah. Soooks I sent you, Jan. It works great on Steam deck, but it works esci good on PC because it's know you probably have a more powerful PC. But if you hit this not the steam button and up on the D pad, it'll record the last thirty seconds. Cool. Yeah Do does it run defult on Steam deck? I've always been afraid to turn that on because it' just like, you know use have too I'd be wary on Steam deeck just because it's like I constantly on steam deeck it's fine. If it's if it causes problems, it just doesn't work instead of causing problems with your games. Oh, that's so. Okay. It's like, you know what we couldn't even record this, but whatever. So yeah, I export them a ten eighty p There's a couple like reanimal ones I did at four four forty that I think I think there is a pretty decent, you know, obviously fidelity upgrade when you the higher you capture, but You know, I was capturing hours and hours and I'm like, I'm just exporting ten eightyP. Okay. So I shorted that whole scene where like you chase double and nine to the airport, you jump on the plane, that whole thing And she's like, oh, wow, that's really cool And I'm like, wit, you guys see Leny Grabber. Money guys come in And You know, I don't know, mayaybe I just sort of like glaz glossed over this the first time I was introduced to him Man It's so bad. Like I'm not an anor. No. Just like First off, I has anyone done like the secondy grebs that like microphone? hasas anyone done like America Won? Like no one's done that. No one's done that I don't think so'll get the work be doing that. Yeah. He's he's just bad like he seems like a fine person. his stands every other performance is so good. Exactly. Yeah. byy comparison, his is just like so underwhelming and so not This is the and don't forget folks These are the best takes. These are the tastes they were like this is t and that was the best. Tastes they have the time for 'cause Lenny's busy. Yeah, I guess. I mean, you know, presumably, I don't know if he was there for the mooCcap stuff too. I don't know. I doubt it. I doubt it, right? Yeah. So like you're like, oh man, these are just delivered with the same sort of inflection and the whole thing you're just like Oh, this is almost like ruining it for me. This is almost, you know, watching it again. I guess in the moment I was just sort of taken off of like, Ohh wow, he's got that sword. That's scary U, you know whose performance it kind of reminded me of was Oh late on me Rhonda Rousey and that one mortal c It's not good.. You know I'm not say it was that bad. but it like occasionally a point good. It's enough to pull me out a bit because the surrounding actors are so good That Rhonda one is like an all time or bad performance.er Yeah. Oh man, you know, it got me thinking and maybe I was just a little like stone really started to overanalyze it. and I'm just like Do you think they were like rew watchatching this and they were just like, o no! it's one of those things where it's like like this is all part of like a bigger marketing plan and' like this is oh shit, this is the best we're gonna to get. but o no I bet they're like, this is the thing that makes our game worse more than anything else. It's probably the thought that they had Yeah, right? We're like,h, we spent like a quarter of a billion dollars on this thing Yeah and we've just got this And oh no, oh no U Okay, it's fine. We just won't draw any attention to it Is he in the game? Yes, he's in the game That's all we'll say. you know strikes me they like doing the like, you know, elusive target stuff like, Oh, we got Garybusy, like wacky like out of left I theyle that Ch'll be h game. Yeah. Ch'll be hits. You know what I mean?? And also that they all have dialogue. So ye. Yeah. Yeah, I never checked out like the M and M elusive target stuff. hitman did like W he actually do VO for it? or I think he did? Yes. Okay Interesting, interesting. Okaykay. can I how do you guys feel about the like the story overall? I like I like it too. and, you know, even like the just the general plot stuff of Oh ye guys the bad guy here and it's a good like It's the James Bond fantasy. It's like what if someone was had like ultimate secret agent power and used it to protect us from some stuff that sucks ass. All m Yeah That be amazing. I would love that. And they told an origin story thing like we've seen so many prequels in origin stories and they're usually so boring. It's All right, get to the part where he gets the tape or whatever. And they they nailed it. L I was really invested in this like the whole time he's not really like fully, you know, zer zero seven for, large majority of this game And by the end, it's just like, all right, yeah, I fully accept this guy's Bond and like I liked watching the process throughout, you know. And I think it's such a challenge to do an interesting Bond character post Um like Casino Royaal with what's his face Daniel Craig Daniel Craig. I don't know any movie stars. Daniel Craig, because that was such a very different take on Bond, but also we're in a post Austin powers world that kind of made fun of that whole man of mystery thing and Kingsman Um, as well where the like kind of adjusting that expectation of what like a spy movie should be So yeah, I really enjoy this interpretation of Bond because he also seems like Im sure he does the playayboy stuff and he's like a little smarmy piece of shit sometimes, but like ultimately It's pretty charming. I like you. You're ye. press circle to charm me as well Yeah Yeah. ye, I like that. I mean and overall, like we said it a million times, the presentation is just untouchable in this game. Man, every time that start screen pops up and it's just like, d d I'm just like Yeahs. Yeah. the lal part on every mission is also great. It like an amazing when that happens and like when like the action like really kicks up and then they do the music stinger. I'm like, Yeahah, it's go all right, yay. Sit They do the like the hitman ask like, okay, here's your target, you know, forty seven. Like that type of thing they're showing the computer screens and everything. Yeah. there' that cool kind of fade like a car going across the desert and the title screen' like oh, this is fucking good. I would listen to My explain anyie and everything to you. A agree Yeahs Did anyone think it was going to be aliens at the beginning? Yes. Yes for second that I Are we viewing Kingdom with the Crystal S skull here, like like su show Yeah. Right. Th I was like, oh, it's AI. and I'm like, Oh, don't worry. I bet AI will be bad. technically shows are f in a blond movie. It's like immediately, okay, yeah's That's how it goes. thatond. It is an anti AI story. I do love the way that they use AI, like the way the villains are doing like why they're doing their bad stuff to kind of c out for this like faulty AI. Like I think that's really interesting Ver smart Oh Jan I would be remiss if I didn't mention a game I actually I haven't personally been playing, but my friend has been playing. Okay and I've been watching him play it. please. It's called Vietnam War, and I bet you guys can figure out what it's about. It's about the Vietnam War It is an open world single player first person shooter set in the Vietnam War. where you are actively fighting the Vietnam War in whatever I branch of the military you'd like to, either side. I'm not here to choose sides. And you can also the recent DLC, you can go home U back to the U.S for a while. What are you talking about? What do you mind whether or not to go back to is like Do it Do you play going back home and like walking into your family family's h? going back home and going to your family's house? Like I haven't or that part we didn't get to. but it is very cool. We were playing it he was playing it on stream the other day and Just like you have a group of guys for you, you go get a mission, you can go to any of the bases set where where like, oh, this is my home base now. when you get injured, it's like, oh, here's a percentage chance you surviveed. You wake up in the hospital? They're like, Ohh, you're in a wheelchair now like because you lost your legs or something like that. And you can call in airirstrikes do all sorts of missions. It's from this developer who worked on mobile games for a while, so it still has that sort of moobilish game art style, three D art style. Sure. He has a previous game that is the Soviets versus Polish in World War two. which is similar vibes Yes, I just wanted to shout out Vietnam War because it is is the plot for Vietnam War on this steam page Times New Roman. Just That's all the sents we had back then. man Yeah, that's yeah, they couldn't afford other fonts U It's really cool. Its it's definitely early access There's it seems like the developer loves to add things and not fully fix up the things that are already there It was just We were playing that newew Hell at Lose Vietnam and we were a little iffy on it. And I was like, I wish there was a Vietnam open world game. And he was like This just came out last year. so We were checking it out and I wanted to shout out because it is I love these sorts of wild experiences Yeah in video games. like this is what video games are about Uh and yeah, it's Definitely go check it out. It's only fifteen dollars. so if you're into that sort of thing You heurt very. You're here. Will's a big fan of the Vietnam War. Yeah, it's about time that war got its today. Yeah. I have to font fact check you, Grub. Sorry. please. Yeahah I don't know my shit. I'm courier. This is courier' a courier Yeah even anyone will say anything Yeah. You are my piece of human garbage No That's you saying that Hey, we're all font friends. We're all font perves here. No no I have nothing to do with fonts. That is bold of you to say, Jeff B Oh Oh gross. No that's funny. You're funny, Jim. Thank you, thank you. And you're very good at video games, Mike Menoti and We' next time laugh, Mike. Let's just laugh. Okay. Dror Amy's fine. Just laugh. That's how it works. you know. Oh For a second respond For a second, instead of saying, oh, okay, it sounded like you had said,, bouquet. I'm like, o, Bou. That's what Mike does when he se stand upp. He goes, you're funny, you're funny. That was funny You're funny. He's a good heckler.' true. Remind me not to invite Mikey to my improv team shows. All right. lastast game on the docket here because Mike Minoti is such a pro gamer Minadi, I believe I hear the heat on the streets. You have finished Golden eye for the inside Yeah Yes, Yes. I beat going Dance Dance wrong as as I didn't beat it on double agent mode and fin it finish the secret levels. you didn't finish but But there's no way to prove that. No way. But yes, yeah, I made way way through the campaign on St agent. my chat could never agree if secret agent is medium mode or is there first mode. There's It's literally medium, but is it like normal, I guess, I don't know That's the mode I played on. I would tell anyone to play that game for the first time is on the the first difficulty agent ent. Yeah, I think I would have had a Smoother experience if I played through agent first, then played through secret agents For sure because There are just some really obtuse objectives and some really difficult moments. There are enemies that just will respond constantly. There's that bullshit area where Natalia is hacking and you need to protect her and enemies are coming in from all these angles. and of course the frame rate drops like ten because they're so many of the enemies and you're looking at one and some guy goes behind some breaking glass and shoots her and she dies. so you had to do this twenty other minutes of this mission, which mostly involves slowly peeking around corners and shooting the tip of a turret before it can see you. Like it was turning into like a memory game kindind of like when we're doing a bight club and it's like this memory blls and you're just going through the that they're little tubes. Now the difference is At the end of all of it Like that night of bed when I'm thinking about it I'm kind of like That's kind of neat ninet ninety seven, Yes, it was very ahead of its time. It's a well, no, I disagree with the way get objectives tied to the difficulty level, nameame a game than did it before that U lots of I think there wass like system shot. I don't know.ome other games did that kind of stuff, but like the objectives aren't very are usually not very in depth. It's usually a blow up this thing. I like them. I like res shoots everything. You can't stop and think for a second I think the game is of its time. I don't think it's somehow aged terribly. I thought that game was always that game. It's why I sort of sh with it before. G glad that I play through it. There is A lot of charm there I actually think the controls work surprisingly well given what it is It's's it's often a ugly frustrating video game U But I don't want to be my main takeaway of it. I'm kind of curious to go and play some more multipayer. Would you guys like to play some multipayer I want to sw to line with you. When Donkey Kong sixty four comes out, let's do Gldenye and Donkey Kong sixty four multiplayer all over again I think the obvious thing here is that like the dividing line between how people feel about Golden Eye is did you have a gaming PC or not in nineteen seven? And I super did not. And so it was a revelation. And I didn't know anyone that had a gaming PC. so all of us were like Golden Eye, This is the greatest game that's ever been made. It's I didn't own a sixty four until Goldeneye. You know, even like Mario sixty four didn't get me to get a sixty four It wasn't until Cold K night. It's like I have to sell everything I have just to fuck and get this game. It's that good. Um, I'm sure there was some on PC that, you know, was running better and more p like, you know, you know, there's quQake two is happening and it case gameplay, right? But you know, in terms of fidelity, I suppose and the fidelity ain't everything And there are there are things that Gori is doing better than a quQake two for sure Maya doesn't play as well My strongest golden eye memory is my I was on the football team, my friends or my friend kind of had his leg planted and got tackled and broke his leg. and so we all went over to his house on the weekend. We were going to have like a big long golden night like sleep overver hangout and we played it all night and We're getting wild and there was one time where I like pulled off a win and I just slammed my hand down and it hits the guy right on his broken leg. And I felt so bad. I was just to be like, let's just do this and all all all of our other friends are just like pounding me in the arm beatating me up for hurting our friend. So yeah, that's good game is what I'm trying to say. Golden Eye rules It's fantastic The thing that Greub did not mention is that he's the one that tackled his friend. Yeah. they'll never know. They could never prove it was me Folks, any other last minute games you want to talk about before we take a quick bricky break and get to the news No. callalling it, no more games ever.

It's, you know, a little bit lower key because I'm not going to go into all the rumors and stuff that are going to be happening for over the next few days as we get into summer game fest and all that stuff because by the time a lot of people hear this, they'll know the they'll know what's happening and we'll behind. So let's just stick to what we can talk about. We'll talk about like when some of those things are going to happen in a bit. Call of duty modern warfare did get confirmed. It is going to for the first time since the PS four and Xbox one came out, it's going to be skipping those systems. It is also coming to the Switch two for the first time. and Warzone is also leaving the PS four and Xbox one. thoseose are kind of the big details here. This game It's it's an infinity word game They're getting help from some other developers to get the PC and switch to as always They are promising a couple things. For one, they're going to try to do another rip from the headline story, which is always kind of a crap shoot with not it's not crap. It's always just kind of they step in it with callall of duty. And then the other thing is for the multiplayer They are Do the thing call duty often does when the last game really sucks. They're being like, you're right that call duty and sucked. What if we got? What if we got more grounded instead? and everyone goes, Yay, boots on the ground. No more clowny skins. raising it. Wow. no sponge and they're like Eone's like, we don't believe you. you' sure you're not going do it for the first season. but like no, no no clowny skins this season or later. So no SpongeBob, no Be us some bud head I dont lost their identity, man. Look, I am on the record to saying I don't really get the backlash towards clowny skins for being hilarious. They're hilarious and stupid just like Call of Duty is. like it's an arcadeie Running gun game that is about hanging out with your friends and I don't need it to be super military, but whenever I say that, I do get a lot of comments from people telling me I wanted to be totally consistent. I just is war dude.ll. And I'm not saying anyone's wrong for feeling that way. I'm just I don't feel that way I am. Yeah that not that I love like the war aesthetic vibe I don't know. I do roll my eyes a little bit when I'm like running around and there's Be this in buthead in the game. I know Hock Menoti I know loves It's stupid. And look, I know C Duty is already stupid, but more so. Less than that, honestly, it's just like Here's somebody who's wearing like, I don't know gaudy like LED lights everywhere mech suits. I don't know. the game is hideous. The game has been hideous and the cosmetics have been hideous for a long time Yes. Well, they're promising to tone that stuff down. Okay. I say It's bullshit because this game' story mode is supposed to at least for a couple chapters, maybe, the campaign is supposed to take place in Korea. They're going throw those BTS boys in that fucking game. Oh think Yeah. I feel like there's zero chance that there's not some K pop person in this game. they might get around that jam by being like, we'll just actually put them in the game. and so it's not really their skin. They're just like a part of the cast and whatever But even then I feel like they'll bring in some more, but yeah, we'll see. I guess Yeah at the end of the day. It doesn't matter. This is a God call duties are so temporary like they could say whatever they want about this one and it could all change with the next one just a year from now at all times Um, But yeah, u Call Duty Motor Warfare four, I am not excited. I just I can't get excited anymore for these games. M because it was only a couple years ago I thought with Black O six that was the first time I actually played much of a calun in a long time And I was enjoying it. and it was all the multiplayer. I know some people lik that campaign. it didn't do much for me. So like I was actually like feeling better about Cu than I did for a while and then it sounds like Last year's one was just such a mess. I don't think I even bothered touching it and it was so easy for me to go back to Yeahah, I don't care about call of duty. Yeah, right exactly. it's easy to put that back in that ben. There's also going to be a new extraction mode U so, you know, they they do a different thing other than because Tyarch because the zombies people And sometimes those I think occasionally, zombies has shown up in an infinity Wd game, but usually not. they usually try something else. sounds like that that this time it'll be an extraction mode. The Fable was delayed to february twenty twenty seven. It was previously supposed to come out in autumn. is how they were phrasing that. Recently they were telling people, yeah, no it's still autumn It was really running up against a lot of other big releases and that is how Matt Boty said he's like, hey, we want to give this game a chance to be on its own away from everything else. And that seems to mean Call of duty in October, and then obviously Grand Theft Auto six in November This game seemed like maybe it was going to come out in December, but why not just give it a little bit extra time and really get away from those games and do something in twenty twenty seven. That seems to be the plan. They didn't say anything about it needing extra time for polish or anything like that that we often get This is entirely about giving it more time to get away from call a call duty and Grand Theft auto But yeah, I I'm not seeing anyone there on like social media on forums on message boorts going Oh no like I can't believe this year is going to go by withithout fable. Everyone's like, Ohh, thank God, I'll just play that whenever it comes out. I've got so many other games to play this year that I I'm almost grateful. That seems to be the common response. Are you any you guys bummed We've waited so long for Fateball already, right? It feels like they announced that game a decade ago or something. Yeah, we can we can handle a little bit longer here Do you think we'll still see any of it at all during Summer Game Fest? Oh, yeah, yeah, they did say explicitly that it will be at summer Game Fest that their showcase while the follow up thing is going to be a big blowout for Gears of war e day in the the main show. This game will be there. They're going to show more of it than ever before apparently. So there you go We talked about zo zero seven first lightight in glowing terms. It's a real hit for IO interteractive. The game has sold one point five million copies in its first twenty four hours. Um, This is a game that did take a long time and a lot of money to make, but it seems like it is hitting in the exact way they needed it to Excuse me, people were mentioning in chat earlier when Will was talking about finding it on a steamed key reseller, a legitimate one, but like those places like get keys from the developers themselves and sell them. Aarently, a lot of those places are sold out of those keys. So that's a pretty good sign for this game that it is just finding its audience in a way that like I like James Pond, but I don't think about them all that often. You know, as they were announcing this game and get ready to release it. It's like, yeah, I'll defitely care. I wonder if anyone else will And it seems like it has hit that mark pretty hard it does remind me of Scquorinix used to own this studio and couldn't figure out how to make money from them And look at them now. Pretty pretty cool stuff. Yeah Great for IOI Exactly, yes. they're fully indepeent now and they're making work. They got They've been opening studios around the world and this is the stuff they're producing. So hell yeah. Banger after banger, hit manan, Mind's Eye. zero zer seven first l. That's right. Yeah just a hat trick right there Sot The steam machine welcome tour has been added to steam. Speculation has been growing that this stuff could happen soonish, although that this does not necessarily mean that will happen. But Brad Lynch, not that one. someone who kind of frequently gets rumors on social media spotted that the steam machine welcome tour has been added to the steam backac endnd Um like they've done with all of their other stuff recently where like the valve index or the Steam Deck all have these things where you can go in there and like explore them through a series of mini games or just very light games. Valve likes to do this. So the fact that it's on the back end is still still suggesting that they are moving toward some sort of release here. againgain, this is just all that everyone's going on. and it might be more opium than anything else Um But yeah, I mean, You guys still aching for the steam machine in any way now that we're kind of still in limbo about the price and it seems like it could be more expensive than ever before. It'sired Personally I think more than ever because like I like playing PC games on my TV, but like I'm running it through a laptop now. and it's like the amount of times it's like, okay, well, I've set this a million times correctly to like, hey, when the lid is closed, just show it on the TV and that doesn't work. And then it strips the atmos out after the HDMI handshake gets like I've just been having so many issues playing PC games on my TV and it seems like this is the thing that it's like, okay plug it in and then it just works That's what I'm looking forward to here Yeah, I mean, it's also a laptop. What do you mean? What are you doing Yeah, I' got I've got the Rzor laptop. It's like a forty ninety laptop. So like it runs I played all the I mean on it. Like it's I'm using I'm using my old desktop with the five thousand eighty in it and it's God, it's an old fifty eighty don't everyone please don't watch That's I got a new one What is it like on your tower up there J I didn't think about how it would sound. Let's kill now. I should. yeah I have that plugged into my TV and I've been using that really frequently. and Windows is just really bad for this st th. and I'm like it sucks. I got the Steve controller and it's like, Ohh, that solves a lot of problems. And it's every time I run into something it's like, oh, Windows just doesn't know how to fucking handle this, even though I've done a little bit of homework to make sure it was going to work So yeah, that's the dream is like Linux Steam OS can just be the real solution for games going forward. And if this can work, it could really just open things up. And like for studios that have their online multiplayer games that don't have The anti cheat set up to work with SteamMOS because they're like, that's a headache. we don't want to support that Hopefully this can force the issue and kind of just make it so any game that is on PC can run on Steam OS and we don't have to worry about Windows anymore because off doing something else with NIidia. Steam Deck's my favorite way to play PC gam. I use it. I mean, I've only played Mina on it. I'm just like that UI is so great, not having to deal with Windows and everything. And if I just get that on my TV with the steam controller, that is the ideal circumstance for me. All right, let's see here Donkey Kong sixty four news. Yeah something has happened since last week. Donkey Kong sixty four is finally coming to switch online plus expansion pack That will be happening in two days. So u This is it really just required Mike to complete the ritual. one hundred one percent in the game.c A couple days later. We're going to have to put him on the side of this SGF set Yeah, Y's not allowed to do anything so one hundred and one percent of rantine zone. Yeah just playing on a switch too, right? Yeah And we'll pump in pineapple smells And actual pineapples just like my gun shoot them. Yeah, yeah you're safe this year, Dan. I'm going after Mike now Yeah ye o I't want to hurt You know what, Mike, me too. I also don't want to hurt Dan, I don't know pain don't hurt guys. I don't know what you're talking about. Well, it hurts me quite a bit But we yes, to me, the exciting part here is I'm not going to like replay this game. I'll mess around with it, but I do that pretty frequently. Donkey Cook sixty four, various simulators and other hardware NSO makes it real easy to do these multiplayer and sixty four games online And we should just do that. We should absolutely play some of that.'s That's also not great, but it's it'll make for a fun time, I bet A C couple more stories here NVIidia and Microsoft announced the sequel to the computer. shut the ph. For'reget getting it everybody. Computer two compomputers It's the future. So Nvidia and Microsoft announced RTX Spark. a new NVIia super chip platform for Windows PCs that is meant to push laptops and compact desktops into the personersal AI agent era. Nvidia is pitching this as a reset for the PC, but it's really just one more way to like It's one more way to like get at AI investment by saying and now we're doing it with CPUs as well. So the idea here is they have made an arm based windows Like CPU, GPU system on it chip. and When you when you're running it, you could tell the thing, hey, I start running all these AI agents locally on my machine. So I have full control over them And and they'll do all the work for you. Now when Jensen was talking about this stuff the CEO of NNvidDia He said something along the lines of the reason we're doing this is because look, we could sell hardware people But why would we make it for people? We could make it for AI agents because there could be infinite AI agents that that can use our hardware as opposed to the finite number of humans And then my brain leaked out of my ear and I fell to the ground and convulsed at hearing that. You're wondering, Nvidia, they make GPU's for video games How much of this was about that Guys, maybe a minute Maybe not even it was. they just don't care to talk about video games anymore. That's not the business they're in. You know this thing this is a platform that can run games. They say at AA games at four four forty p at frame rates of up to one hundred frames per second with Ray tracing and have DL DLSS and all that stuff in there as well Um But yeah, I This seems like it could compete with Apple Silicon, which has been very good recently But I just don't think that this is going to actually mean good things for people who want to own their hardware and play games on a PC. This just feels like a nonstarter. It is all about AI A fun Yeah. I mean, if they have anything else to like to say about this about what it will mean for gaming, it's not going to happen now. They're going to come at it later, but I think the MSI CQaw got announced to be using this or something like that, a new version of the basically their version of a steam deeck Um, But yeah, we'll see if that actually turns in any U spepeaking of, we'll get to that in a second. PlayStation has a big state of play today We're going to be talking over this thing. Uh, you know, they've told us it's going to be more than sixty minutes like there is u Like notes from Alama Draft House saying that their're showing of it is ninety minutes. I think that will probably include some pre show stuff, but it so it's going between sixty and ninety minutes worth of stuff. I'm expecting around seventy ish minutes. It's going to open with Wolverine And it sounds like that God who Reya, Fay, who's wither Fay. Fay, thank you. Son of Sparta S son of Son of Sparta too. they're already doing it such a big hit Um Yeah, that fake game, which sounds like it could be inspired by the original Godot of warard games or Devil may cry. That's how be separate's not What What is F going to be using his pistols then? What do you guys think? Right exactly. I don't know, like Angels wings that like shoot out like the feathers as d just go Okay Oh that'd be cool Um I'm excited. I I think they're going to have a lot of stuff at this showcase. You guys have anything that you're holding a torch for T fllash. sureure. As always I want it. I want this every time we have we get to this season for PlayStation and they never give it to me. I just want No. why not? Yeah, that'd be good. Yeah. Yeah Sounds like infamous could show up so probably not sl like who. think that's who cares about infamous. Jan, hang on. We're talking new infamous. Is that a rumor? Not not new. No, not new. If anything happens with infamous, the rumor is it's like Bringing back some of the original games and updating them or something. rememasing. It means I might be on modern consoles. They replacs. That's why it's going to be modern and better Yeah Jan, I would take a sly hooper over an infamous thing for sure. comeome on guys, the furries can't win that much. and're already gain the Starfuck thing. Oh, the furries are mad about that because they look too much like animals Right. So they do need to win. Yeah. it looks too much like animals that they can't bone them ? Why does that matter? What are we doing? No. that's what I'm assuming they're upset about I think there were some people that would proudly bone Star Fox still. U I would I would also like, um Jack and Dax for trilogy Yeah, yeah, need that kind of st make me happy. I want to see some PS one stuff honestly. I want to like I love PS two. I want to see something where I'm like, wow, a thing from PS one is back, that's neat I All right, that'll be at five PM Etern, two PM Pacific. We're talking over that, likeike I said. So hang out with us. We're going to have a good time. I am looking forward to it they are making a big deal out of it. They are positioning this as something very important. So yeah, let's see how that goes down And then Digital Eclips reveals Toy Story retroollection and Toy Story three remastered. They've done this with various stuff recently, but this collection is going to be a definitive collection of classic Toy Story games from early nineties from the nineties and early two thousands Toy Story from nineteen ninety five A Toy story two, Buzz Lightyear to the rescue Toy Story two, which is actually a pretty good game Buzz Lightyear of Star Command, Toy Story Eeraser, which no one ever played, and a bug's life because why the hell not? Um oo yeah That bugs game is good.h Yo, it's a loters Yeah, a lot of these are good. So I think the one that's just Toy Story two is just a game boy game. Buzz light you to the rescue is the three D platformer one on Yeah that work really good. Yeah. Yeah. So U yeah, buzzight your St command is Garbo, but in a way that's I don't know, maybe is funny. I that's his tooy Story game was kind of a big deal at the time. It was graphically impressive They even have kind of a first person doom esque thing that they pulled off without the like help of any kind of, um, Like I don'tX chips or anything like that So yeah, that's super neat that they're doing this. Hellah. Yeah, so they're doing a lot to these games. So you could play them in their original visuals or with upgraded resolution and stuff like that, But that's that's how Digital cllips normally handles these things. And then the next game is Toy Story three compleomplete Edition, a remaster of the cult favorite of twenty ten game Let's see a favorite of corn front man Jonathan Davis says this story incredible. The game now boasts four K resolution and sixty frames per second performance. It also includes content. prereviously exclusive to the Playsttation three version such as the option to play a Zurg in the game's toybx mode. Toy Story three signature open world sandbox. Yeah, I let my kids go loose on that sandbox mode and they had a good time with it back when they were Super into Toy story That does it for the headlines. That's all out until everything breaks loose with starting with the state of play today. and We'll talopking over. Yeah, we'll be talking over the summer Game Fest thing with Kily on Friday. I think it's at the same time of day five PM Eastern two PM Pacific. And then we'll talk over the Xbox show on Sunday. that one's earlier, ten AM Pacific one PM Eastern.

You need advice on anything. You want to avoid an awkward social interaction, send an email Bom guast at Jiant Bom. com. I say this every week. I've been saying this for the last couple months, but our inbox is flooded with emails from you, the folks at home So do not be discouraged. if email does not make it onto the show. I appreciate and try to read every single email. If you have anything specific to say to a member of the crew, I try and forward it there For instance, today, there was an emailer saying the backlar made them feel bad Gay. Oh, wow. Mer. That's better than most weeks My first email from the show comes from Andrew from Indiana. a little bit more of a deeper question to start off the segment Andrew writes in Good morning, Giant Bomb crew I'm writing this to kill some time at work But I wore a giant bomb shirt to work today and it got me thinking about how long I've been listening to the podcast For reference, I've been listening for almost ten years I started listening in the seventh grade back when the podcast was on Google Music Oh yeah Do you guys ever think about how long the show slash site has been running and how many people's lives you've impacted and get freaked out? I feel like I would PSO Purse you Jan for suggesting deadluck on the podcast. The video game, not the wrestling podcast. I'm holding you personally accountable for the four hundred plus hours I've snank into the game since you guys talked about it on the podcast Wish you guys the best, Andrew from Indiana. In my mind, there wasn't a boncast until about two thousand three. so it's Wh is that, Mike? I jo. You said two thousand three, he meant twenty twenty three at joke was. I was so funny you kind of fucked it up. What a loser? Heo. I suck. Is the joke that you were were like unaware? No, the joke was like, though I was on it, I didn't care. That was he cares about. Be everything I'm a narcissist who makes everything about himself apparently. No, you're not. And that's why comment there all along, Mike. It was me. Are you allter Crunk It was But that's why it doesn't work becauseuse you're not a selfish guy, Mike. I agree. I agree. I think it's an absurd thing that these people say I try not to think about it too much because then I get into my own head and then I just think about the odd weight and influence that the show may have on people's lives Yeah It doesn't seem as long to me because like it feels like I've had three different, you know, entire existences here between West Coast, East Coast and remote coming back. So to me it just feels like You know, oh, a few years here, a few years here a few years here, but like ultimately, it's like, well, shhit I started here in like summer of twenty fourteen. So it's like, I guess that has been a long fucking time. Yeah, it's it's one of the more I think about it, the more deeper into a hole I fall into because like emailer here. I started listening to the bomcast when I was in high school I'm here now which is weird. Oh yeah. That's weird Do you guys ever have an existential crisis about your presence on the internet and how it affects other people Hm occasionally I think it's neee That' now Yeah attitude, Mikey Russia Mike, do you think there are people out there that also share your fear of apples that now feel represented U I I think it's come up at least one maybe only one time, which is like man, only once hh. Yeah tracks. Yeah I might still be a little bit of a lonely freak about outlier. Yeah I had a crazy realization that like with moving around so much for GB stuff over the years I'm coming up on three years of living in this house and that will be the longest I have lived in any one spot since high school living at my parents' house. Wow. that sounds like two thousand two. I have never lived in any place three yearsusting. It has been nonstop moving. Oh Oh my gosh, I'd hate that to like not just like down the road or different plac in town, but like differentifferent states and cities countries all over the go. Yeah, yeah yeah. Soah they stay here for a while. do guys these yes, yes, yes. So I know where to find you Mikey is like slowly putting his Grimace costume back on the h job. It's like venom just taking over coming out of really good bit. Mike if somehow you made it so it comes out of this door right now. Grimace comes out Surprise. All, moving on along Travis and Fargo writes in with five questions. I choose one of them. If you, you know, want to get your emails read on the show, come up with a fun little gimmick. Travis writes in I got my kids a switch two as a start of the summer break gift, and I'm giving them this Friday. current feelings about the Switch two and any advice for a new Sitch to owner Do you have any tips or tricks on gaming with both a switch one and two in the household Gratz Got to get this kids started on welcome tour They can't touch anything on there until they get they pass all the test and how to use it. Yeah. Well, I mean you may as wow, it must come for free with that console, right? Oh yeah, I'm sure B boy, right? Yeah. Oh boy. That stupid thing. Hey, I kind of like it My thing with with the kids and switch two and managing multiple systems is it did get a little bit easier and a little bit more annoying the sharing virtual games. If if that's the way you're doing, I guess a lot of people still do physical games, but if you have any digital games that you're trying to lend to someone It is so annoying when you go to play your own game and because they have the switch lost somewhere in the house turned off, not connected to the internet, they're like, well, we just can't contact that thing and get your game back from them. So just make sure that you like have a spot where they know they have to return it to so that it's well taken care of and you can get to that thing when you need it because it is super annoying not being able to play your own game because of that So few hardware, so few companies like have that figured out as far as like sharing within a household. So it's like if you don't want to buy two copies it's like double seven is a great example, mee and Bonk both just played through it and we're playing like around the same time. So it's like, okay, so she's logged into my steam account upstairs, but she has to after she launches it make sure that computer never touches the internet Yeah So if it touches the internet at all, then it's like always a save file thing, one of us loses our safve file. And so like you always have to think about that. No one's ever made it seamless I was fantastic. Any other switch to like any have y'all picked up any like accessories you like or like not an accessories guy I have to have a little charging station thing or like a charging dock, not a dock capturing it ust something to put on my nightstand where it's charging and that official Nintendo one I think I got or whatever is beefy enough. I bought a really cheap one at first Thinking, why spend money on this And then it was like so unstable and wouldn't stand still that it was basically worthless Yeahles. Multiple dos is good. Yeah. Yeah Yeah, like they do make those third party like, you know, small Ginky ones I like the ginky covert docks. I got one for Switch two now. I use that when I travel certainly, but also Yeah bring it up to the gym. Yeah. Sometimes I have to like update those in a weird way. like you update the firware of a donga Yeah from that The swwitch one to switch two a lot of those things need to be updated, but once they were updated, they work ty well. I had to do that with the capture card dock that I got All right It works well now, but it was a headache to sort of get that in that state in the first place This That's probably too much for this person who's right in the capture dock anyhow. But yeah, look around, shop around. There's a lot of good advice from people who are trying to get multiple docs in their home if they don't want to spend all the money on the official Nintendo one But it is handy. I agree with Dan that like having that option in your house is really nice. And then I still do the thing where I pop out the kickstand and rest my fingers on there just to make it a little bit easier to grip when I'm playing it. Fantastic. Thank you for all the tips, boys. Travis and Fargo. I hope that helps you out you know, also if you're giving it to a little gimmicks, maybe grab a screen protector. just Just in case. U Yes, that is there's Ginky makes a good one of those makes it really easy to apply. I bet all of them are like that. but That's the first time I've ever really put on a scen protector and it worked well. The Ginky one It's got like like a handles that you put put on Yeah, it's perfect And it was applied perfectly. I'm like I I hate the idea of like air bubbles and all that stuff and none of that happens. So I was pretty impressed I've always liked Ginkkey Stuff for Switch. They make really so stuff. like do they have capture cards now that are like really lightweight. Oh, cool Yeah. yeah, the Cofort Dock stuff. It's yeah, they're great. I might check the capture card out U Andrew in Rochester, Minnesota writes in, Hey Bomb crew, this questioning might be specifically for Dan Recently, you guys talked about California accents. send it. And I started thinking about Minnesota accents since I've lived here my whole life I'm sure that I have some sort of accent, but I never noticed it However, when traveling people have told me they notice an accent There are also times where I will hear local radio ads and the person talking sounds like they have a very recognizable accent to meet That said, it made me wonder Dan has previously lived in Minnesota But now that he has planted his roots a bit more firmly, Has he picked up any sort of Minnesotan accent? or did someone tell him that he does From the places Minnesota's been to, does Dan notice a lot more stereotypical Minnesotan accents like having the long O's Thanks for the memories and happy Bail you know Shaftsats a gi bombace group Facebook group Best wishes continued success, Andrew Rochester Minnesota. And Most I noticed it was when I first came up to Game informer because it's like A lot of people like came from elsewhere to move here for game informmer, but then you had guys like Tim Turry and Ben Hansen who were like died in the wool Minnesota gu guys, especially Tim Turry might be the most Minnesota man ever. And so it's like the double O thing. It's Broom, it's room, it's roof. It's never like I say broom, room, roof, you know, like it's that room here Yeah, I definitely noticed it. I'm more used to it now, but I don't think I And even No no you don't you don't have any of No No. I think you still have a very faint lingering southern thing The canrail is not the south Yeah, what Okaykay, fine. sure. fought for the North than the Civil War. That's fine. cool. I do think you have a Kansas thing Kansas is cool. Kas is very cool. Kansas is cool. I'm saying it's cool that we fought for the North. I guess why know. People are not whenever people say south, they don't go Oh exclusively the Civil War. That's what we're always talking but Kansas No one candates that's Something like something that calls this like fly overver states would say. Like anyone from like Grub, M. You're from the Midwest. You would never south. Yeah I would never now teensiest bit maybe. I don't know. I' fing. doesn't matter. It's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about your accent. I'm not North I beg you shall. How is the Ny? Well, how's the North? but there are a lot of people with southern accents in Ohio. And ye I think you Yeah Yeah. it's that sort of thing where yes, but Maybe I don't I don't really notice in Dan. like you have an example backar of like Dan's like lingering southern stuff because that would be No, I again, if we want to just call like a Kansas, I just hear that a little bit obviously more than I hear and it's the way he calls Darling all the time Darling. And he's always passing me sweet tea when I see it vapers. Yeah. Yeah, I think it's that like vapers D get over getting the consumption Yeah you thought constantly worried about the peach crop. That I just hear that, but it's not prominent by any stretch. Like I don't think it it's it's the I don't think it's like the hallmark of your dialect for sure. Yeah, I never considered myself having any kind of like strong accent or. My voice has changed dramatically. I mean, look up the twisted m from twenty ten. Since the surgery, seriously? Dead serious man. I said it I said it at the time. Yeah, man. Yes. Tw years ago. So' they change your hes. They didn't change my ho. P another hole in a flute It's going to sound different. probably not should get another hole. it't sound very different. Wa did it his whis get higher or lower? I can maybe use some holes. I think it got a little grougher. I think it got a little really Yeah I could see be a little bit rougher. might in the summer more holes. I mean, this is such an easy experiment to do for yourself at home. Go listen to a thing from like five years ago And listen to it now. It's not better, it's not worse. It's just different. Interesting. So like when I yeah, so like a twenty twenty three or here you go, early twenty twenty four bomcast versus late twenty twenty four. Well I would do five years ago to really have to be sure Yeah Yeah, the early like game informer stuff, if you see those early replays, I'm just a different human being there. It's insane. I think for the most part, you do have like a non regional dialect. I think But I do hear like what I consider whatever in my theater of my mind as a Kansas accent, I think comes out very, very rarely and again, not in like a prominent way I think certain words I've seen people talk about how I say like multiplayer Like I say multiplayer in. I think some people say multiplayer, whichich makesense that's an I but also like, o yeah when you play multiplay Mold circle I guess I haven't not. I've never noticed that Yeah. I've seen people in like comments mentioned that before. yeah. Yeah.. Or like for FOR, I'll say like for like almost like an FER. it's like oh yeah, lose that for this. Yeah. Oh I'm learning a lot All right, It's just comments I've seen yeah. It's not like our job is talking to each other for a living, you know? Yeah We use our mouths For the birds. Oh right. twoo more emails and then we'll give ast will become another podcast for real quick. I I w want to hear if Dan can do can you do a Minnesota? Can you do like a don't you know kind of thing That's like a Fgo. That's more like a North like I just think like Oh Minnesota, you know, Oh, yeah, yeah, there's like Oh yeah, yeah. Yeah sure Yeah,ah with the roof Oh ye, I swted it with the broom, you know, at that sure critters get in there. Yeah, sure. Yeah. Like, o man I always thought it was crazy that Tim would always say like, oh yeah, I'll brow that to you. I'll borrow that to you. And its l you l I borrowing it. Yeah. It does have a US regional accent you enjoy hearing. I like hearing Memphis accents. Anyone who sounds different to me is awful. No, yeah, I like New York accents and Southern accents. I like them all. They're fun. I think I know Yeah don't I don't mind them. They're fine. Boston pisses me off, but other than that, I think it's fine Yeah. I there's nothing more exotic than a pretty lady with a really strong Boston accent. That's so weird. This just breaks your brain a little bit, right? something just not matching there. You're just I like Chicago accents just because of the super friends on SNL, right?ike not bar Oh sure Yeah, that's fun ike you could so be one of those guys with another livage. Oh yeah, just like sitting at some Dark bar talking about the littlegal su Yeah and a lot of miller lights. hat. Oh, somebody photoshop me out the of the super Fs. You know super fans. Super friend S. The Newfoundland Canadian accent is Oh yeah. wild. How's that going It's kind of almost Irish sounding or like Scottish. It's like it's really bizarre that that's what it's I mean, I guess not bizarre. It's just different. Uh, that's yeah, that's fun. Let's like straight up Irish. Yeah. Yeah. Uh I alluded to this at the beginning of the email segment, but Mr. Baclar made Steve from Saratoga theh This email is addressed to keeyboard daddy Jeff Backer. Last week he snickered when Mike mentioned using a desk with a pull out keyboard tray. I suppose I am ashamed to admit that I, for one buuy them and add them any new desk I purchase I recly I recently bought a seventy inch desk to start playing PC games side by side with my wife The desk is an ugly behemoth that cost two hundred dollars, twoo keyboard trays combined for two hundred and fifty I don't understand how people can function without these things. If Jeffer was a real gamer who played real video games, he surely would have noticed the sharp corners of the desktop surface digging into his pasty wrists or the fact that his elbows are a suboptimal angle for extended gaming sessions. Perhaps if Jeff knew that keyboards could be used as input devices for video games, he would realize how high he has to raise his chair to correct his ergonomics. going scorch earth. Holy shit. E raising the chair presents the problem of lowering the screens relative to your field of view and not all monitors are alien wearers with adjustable heights. so please I really want to know what the solution for this is Because although trays solve the positioning issues, they were a pain in the ass to install and expensive Thanks for reading. Thanks for the content. And chame on Jeff for treating Mikey that way. Yeah, how thereare you. This guy's installing trays. What a loser I mean, I K he's on my side No, I was joking. I was joking. I was joking Steveve here. Fuck you hand like. That's my buddy Steve you're talking about there. First of all, it's about time someone really gave it to me You know, it feels good. It feels good to be alive. I forgot what that feeling is like. Oh, I protect you guys from some emails. Yeah, it's fucking insane that you think adding a keyboard tray is less convenient than lowering the monitor with like, you know, a stand. Like that's insane to me I think I have my shit all set up like the way I would want likeike when when it's time to game, when it's game time Yeah, when it's game my arms go like to my side, ninety degree angle. They're right on the keyboard, right on the mouse. and then my eye is aligned with the very top monitor, which is what I want. And I'm sure I'm good. No trin. No tray. I mean, also like Oh your e Yeah your eyes are way higher than my. My eyes are like at the middle of my monitor because of the tray Itord to the preerence It's Yeah and also the trree like have you considered that my preferences are Better than your. B. Yes. I have considered that. I have considered and it's wrong. Yeah, generally they do suggest to have the top of the monitor kind of level with your eyes and kind of look top of a monitor with eyes. Yes. Yeah, I mean, have to be very tippy top, but like, yeah, the top higher than average, right? Like Yeah Yeah. I mean, also this comment about what my desk looks like, sureure my wrists are pasty. you've got there mailer But I don't have any sharp corners and I certainly don't have a tray hitting me in the crotch Every time I pull it out when I want to type something Yeah they tr very excited getting the t my legs. I mean, what like nineteen eighties basement am I going into where I find one of these trays anyway? I hly I may be hateful, but what was that? I don't I don't know. Uh, yeah, I just I mean, from start to finish, Steve, I gott to disagree with everything youve said No point for you whatsoever. give them the Do you use like a wrist guard at all for like your keyboard and mouse? like I feel like that helps out with sharp edges I do need the wrisk guard. I have a little tiny one and it's like stuck in place where I like it so I won't list it up to show you guys, but I need that desperately. Explain the sharp edges to me because I don't understand I don't I following. All right, there are are corners on a desk right, minor around. I don't knowt you know, minor around Is edges on your desk? I do. Yeahah. It's like a standing desk is it's it's almost like a Yeah, there's nothing there's nothing see mine c desks have right angles. I realize that. Yeah. Mine are extra sharp because of the little latches that onto the tray, you know? Maybe that's the isue. Maz only has sharp edges because he keeps installing lap or keyboard trays Exactly. notothing bad can happen there with all that hardware machinery and flaps for things to get caught in. wasocking it. but I could have just installed a keyboard tray on that desk that I gave away because that didn't have a keyboard tray. One that you didn't want to build So you definitely would have installed a keyboard tray. Yeah that sounds hard. I might had to solder something. I don't know. No just sc what would happened. Yeah. I'm joking everyone. I know I don' need to solder something. God. The only the only thing Steve has said here with any value aside from The wrist thing, which you got me, you got me. Uh, is that I'm a bad gamer. I'm not a real gamer that you got me. Good job.. D't ad That's bad for our brand. You're better than anyone at kind of funny. That's all that matters.'s come on say That is true. That is And I'm saying that with the caveat of places I excel greatly. It's you got you got to under you got to under under promise and over deliver here. Okaykay. That's that's where I'm going for. Yeah. We got to take them up on that Fortzer Horizon competition thing I would love that Oh yeah Yeah. Well, it'says yes's all done and dusted I They go to SGF. I feel like they never go to SGF.reer be for sure because on the couch. Yeah.

I'm only going to kiss some of them Yeah. onn the mouse And you at home have to wonder who? So when it mike its tongue Okay, okay. French Canadian kissing is what that's called. Sorry, I just need to reset myself there. last email of the show comes from BH This hurt my mouth to read earlier Cbard is typically typically pronounced clipbard unless you're Jan board pronounce Clabberard Does Jan pronounce it clapboard BH I think this is just further proof that my methodology is correct All right, Oh You know, the thing that happens is when you like introduce yourself to a new group of people and then they start to learn the intricacies and like the oddities of how you approach the English language. that is fluid enough. So why bend myself to any rules of it? I'm going to keep practicing elasticity in my command over the English language So I dropped the whole clipbard thing to them and, you know, met with stunned silence. and then someone legitimately said You are so brave You are Jan, this is proof of free will.
