spk_0 Chris rooper here namesake of the rooper report

spk_0 Um, I've heard that kind of funny just hit the 2000th episode of games daily that is an incredible feat

spk_0 I don't think I can even count that high

spk_0 So congratulations to everyone over there for hitting that that amazing milestone

spk_0 I was just doing some math and

spk_0 If I my calculations are correct

spk_0 2000 games daily also equals 2000 roper reports

spk_0 Now I've never asked for any sort of royalties or residuals for use of my name. It's been an honor

spk_0 It really has but being then as a 2000th episode and therefore the 2000th roper report

spk_0 I want to just this once I could I could do the intro I just want to do the intro once

spk_0 And I've been practicing I even have a pitch pipe

spk_0 Um, so you know if I could just you know, just shot um

spk_0 All right, here we go

spk_0 Uh, do do do do do do do time for some news

spk_0 Crush day everyone

spk_0 Come on Chris rooper immediately well that when I saw roper

spk_0 You know, I mean, I haven't talked to him in person in a long time let alone to see him on the show

spk_0 Which I think so many people are always like who's roper

spk_0 The amount of who is who is Chris roper Greg oh man Chris roper of course is uh one of the podcast beyond uh founders

spk_0 Alongside of me right when I started at IGN in 2007

spk_0 It was a PlayStation team was Dunham roper me and Jeff Haynes and that was your original podcast beyond segment

spk_0 Uh, Dunham hosted beyond as the lead chair and then we would go to the roper report where he would round up the news

spk_0 And so we kept that going on beyond and then when we left we stole it from PSI love you

spk_0 That's when PSI love you retired and this became the daily show we kept that of course for news

spk_0 So yeah, it's outlived and outkicked the coverage so dramatically

spk_0 That I love it and I've always loved roper support that on a social media he still says

spk_0 And there's a reference to being a segment on many podcasts you listen to and stuff so that's very very cool

spk_0 Good job and that scares me now for all the other

spk_0 Emotional landmines that are hidden in his episode

spk_0 There are five items on the roper report

spk_0 A bigger stuff

spk_0 On those beard's microphone off

spk_0 Yeah, I we were supposed to do this from like a professional bakery and they're closed on Mondays

spk_0 And then Joey was like oh like what's just got a bunch of like crispy cream donut and we'll just draw like a baker's dozen

spk_0 And I looked at liensin. I was like what if this was our entire day

spk_0 So till one a.m. We made these so hopefully they're okay, but yeah, I'm sorry. Yeah

spk_0 There's enough frosting on there that it'll be delicious. Oh, yeah sure sure so happy

spk_0 2000 up to everybody and Roger while you're here great job doing this great job

spk_0 Yeah

spk_0 Yeah, Nick is always just worthless you just didn't do much for anything for any of this

spk_0 These donuts look like they were worth all day

spk_0 Jack anymore for the 4,000 episode we can hire a fucking baker

spk_0 Number one on the ropher report

spk_0 Microsoft insists it's still committed to first party consoles after a rumor that Xbox planned to exit the hardware business

spk_0 Hit the internet. This is the one the only

spk_0 WIP that's Wesley in pool Tim and IGN dot com

spk_0 Microsoft is issued a statement insisting it remains committed to Xbox consoles after a fresh rumor that it planned to exit the hardware business

spk_0 The rumor emerged from an alleged insider who claimed Microsoft's Xbox hardware plans had become less sure and that the future of

spk_0 Xbox was software publishing a common suggestion on social media and on forums and Andrea

spk_0 Social media and forums always correct 100% they're never wrong

spk_0 But Microsoft issued a statement over the weekend countering that rumor telling Windows Central quote

spk_0 We are actively investing in our future first party consoles and devices designed engineered and built by Xbox

spk_0 For more details the community can revisit our agreement announcement with AMD and quote

spk_0 The rumor and Microsoft statement came after a bruising week in which the company was heavily criticized for raising the price of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate

spk_0 From 1999 to 29, 1999 month

spk_0 Microsoft also ditched the discount on DLC for Game Pass subscribers in favor of increased rewards points

spk_0 Meanwhile Bloomberg reported that Microsoft's decision to release Call of Duty as a day one Game Pass title has cost it

spk_0 300 million dollars in lost sales

spk_0 That's because fans who would have bought Call of Duty under normal circumstances on PC or Xbox opted to play it through the game pass

spk_0 subscription instead

spk_0 Call of Duty Black Ops 7 is set to launch as a day one Game Pass title this November

spk_0 But subscribers now won't get 10% off COD points or the black cell battle pass upgrade

spk_0 Microsoft console hardware plans are under intense scrutiny following its seemingly successful multi-platform push

spk_0 For its video game and flagging sales of the Xbox series X and S

spk_0 But in June Microsoft announced a partnership with AMD to power the next generation of Xbox including its first party future Xbox consoles

spk_0 It was a deal seen as a rubber stamp for the next generation of Xbox at least

spk_0 Microsoft failed to detail its plans but did promise quote next level performance cutting edge graphics break through gameplay and

spk_0 Unmatched compatibility

spk_0 It also said everything it's working on will be quote fully compatible with users existing Xbox game library

spk_0 Andrea run a

spk_0 Is Xbox cooked absolutely not

spk_0 Okay, thank you

spk_0 Greg we get these stories about Xbox pivoting away from hardware every generation

spk_0 There is a new Xbox console son had surprised these rumors have surfaced once again

spk_0 But they're not going anywhere because they've invested so heavily as this insider has also apparently dead in their ecosystem and

spk_0 I think people like the rogue ally right like the

spk_0 They're like the price point. They like the handle. Yeah, and we'll see you obviously when rogue out the oh man

spk_0 The rog Xbox ally and blog Xbox ally X for at least in the coming weeks too many too many words to remember. Yeah

spk_0 I don't think that

spk_0 Xbox as a brand is in trouble. I think every

spk_0 Major corporation is re-examining their portfolio right now because we're in a very

spk_0 uncertain and tumultuous financial global situation sure and we're gonna see some shifting but to say that they're going fully away from hardware

spk_0 I think is just

spk_0 Fui

spk_0 Timothy the cooks baby

spk_0 Man, this is bad. This is real bad because here's the thing. I don't think it they're immediately cooked and I I think the biggest takeaway

spk_0 I have from all the stories that came out this weekend

spk_0 Including all of the sams club discounts that weren't part of the story here

spk_0 But did you see this I didn't see the sams club? I thought the Costco of course last week two weeks ago

spk_0 I mean like we're not carrying Xbox there was that but the sams club like

spk_0 Slashing prices of the Xbox hardware so we're talking about

spk_0 $280 Xbox series Xs that are retailing it best my currently for what was the new price?

spk_0 $650

spk_0 um and

spk_0 That is not a good sign right that is a sign of them getting rid of what they have on the shelves

spk_0 There's other pictures of Nintendo switch games like covering the Xbox aisles of other stores like that is the type of stuff when you combine it all

spk_0 Is it direct evidence that

spk_0 Stores are not gonna retailers are not going to carry Xbox hardware not necessarily but

spk_0 We all have covered the Xbox for the last two thousand episodes and to be where we're at right now

spk_0 It's like it's not like I hear that and go well. That's definitely not gonna happen

spk_0 Yeah, I go well, you know what that's they kind of put themselves in this position that the consoles already weren't selling now with all of this news

spk_0 If they're only gonna keep selling less like with the price hike that's not incentivizing anybody to be like now's the time to buy an Xbox series X

spk_0 So I think combining all that stuff together. It's

spk_0 A very very evident thing that yeah, this that we're we're going downhill will Xbox make hardware next generation

spk_0 I entirely believe so agreed um but if nowhere sells it

spk_0 At what point does it matter? I think the thing missing from the conversation that's been happening over the last

spk_0 We can particular with this giant price hike we got with game pass and what's happening with the hardware now is

spk_0 This is all reactive to what's happening at an a bigger global scale

spk_0 financially

spk_0 I mean stagflation is real. We're in it

spk_0 Prices keep going up wages not moving not moving a dollar yeah, and so people have less and less money every week to spend on

spk_0 Luxury items and an Xbox is a luxury item. So I think these retailers are seeing the boxes and going

spk_0 Six months from now. What are we gonna do with these? Maybe we should just offload them now and

spk_0 Obviously part of the general backlash to the moves that

spk_0 Microsoft game he is a brand is making with game pass is also very

spk_0 Understandable. I mean I I dropped my subscription down to the 999 tier and just bought DreamLide Valley the only reason I had game pass in the first place

spk_0 I mean I already owned it on steam, but now I had to have it on both

spk_0 But I think that this

spk_0 Every I mean we're doing this because it's like oh we should talk about how Xbox is dying

spk_0 It's like they're gonna be fine

spk_0 They're gonna be fine that brand is gonna be good. They just you know need to weather the storm like all of us

spk_0 blessing

spk_0 I'll like to answer your question with a question

spk_0 Which is what do Xbox players want from Xbox and is Xbox delivering that slash do they have the capability to continue to deliver that because I think with the

spk_0 latest news, but I guess before the price X and all that stuff right like I would have said

spk_0 You know, obviously not everybody

spk_0 Players aren't a monolith, but what I what a lot of people I think would say would be the ecosystem

spk_0 Would they would say they want the game pass they want the ability to play anywhere

spk_0 They want that compatibility across their console their PC and all that stuff cloud whatever it is right um

spk_0 But I think as the prices have gone up especially of game pass and also as we've

spk_0 You know stepped further in into the Xbox becoming less of a console ecosystem and becoming more of a PC based ecosystem

spk_0 Especially, you know, we'll see what we have when we're a generation from now with them

spk_0 I then start to wonder what's the point like what is the main vision of

spk_0 Like what people are getting out of this thing to really benefit them because I think

spk_0 Up until now my price would have been or accessibility even more so accessibility would have been the thing

spk_0 Hey, if you have a console if you have a PC if you have a same song smart TV if you have a phone or whatever

spk_0 You can you can be in the Xbox ecosystem you can exist in that

spk_0 Um

spk_0 Now that we're at we're at where it's becoming harder and harder of a of an argument to say hey you should get Xbox game pass

spk_0 That's the best dealing gaming

spk_0 I do worry about the future right like I think I now look at that step into the PC side of things and

spk_0 Today more than more so than a week from a week prior I see it as a step out of the

spk_0 Hardware business more so than I see it as a step into the future right

spk_0 I see is as a step toward

spk_0 Ah shit we just can't hang in this realm more so than a no we want to create something that's going to

spk_0 You know really innovate and revolutionize what we're doing in the in the hardware side of the industry

spk_0 It's hard to really know what's going on because they

spk_0 Change their mind it feels like and I heard on the on the Fridays episode when you guys were talking about it

spk_0 You had mentioned wanting like a podcast where like Phil's are like come in and I was like

spk_0 Actually thinks that would have been bad because they've discovered that there's no winning for them when they do make those public

spk_0 explanations and

spk_0 Yeah, no they I feel like they've misstepped quite a bit and some of their are forward like facing like we're gonna explain

spk_0 Why we decided to do what we do because there's

spk_0 Really like I think all of us are going but that's not like a great decision that you made and this one has been like so troubling

spk_0 I think the biggest thing and what I've gone back and forth on you know mulling this all we can long right is that what really

spk_0 Gets hung up on is how they marketed this game pass the best deal in gaming the best value in gaming when we think of a value period

spk_0 What do you think of like Donald's value menu the value bin at a department store

spk_0 You're thinking about getting something at a very cheap and disposable cost and so by going down that lane with game

spk_0 Pass it benefited them so well with goodwill of all my Netflix for games all these different things blah blah blah

spk_0 And now to get here and have the price tag go up this $10 and become 30 bucks a month right

spk_0 I

spk_0 Think and I this is either the holder and we've gone around a million times on Greg away and everything

spk_0 I still think it's probably the best value in gaming again

spk_0 You want a $70 game buy game pass for a month and you get it for $30 right then we get into a halloween in a plane

spk_0 You know you both I think there's a bunch of different

spk_0 Permutations to argue it from there right

spk_0 But it's this idea that they devalued their brand and they devalued games

spk_0 And so now they have to have that reckoning of we're changing it and charging more and people are upset about it

spk_0 But what is that actually going to net out on the books too? And so yeah like having fill in

spk_0 Sarah on a podcast say all that and try to explain business

spk_0 There's no way we've learned for any of these corporations to explain what they're doing as a business and not have the well

spk_0 You're fucking evil and you're trying to get more money and lots of times they are fucking evil and trying to get more money

spk_0 Businesses as a whole like I don't know what you do here

spk_0 And that's the problem then you get stuff like this where people see these rumors that okay

spk_0 They're getting out of the hardware business and okay. Well, they're smoke. There's fire. This is true Tim

spk_0 Yeah, I mean that's the thing is it's less smokes and fire. It's true

spk_0 It's more just no one surprised because it wouldn't be surprising at this point if

spk_0 Best buys like you know what we're not going to sell Xbox consoles any more period

spk_0 And that's not the choice Xbox gets to make they can they can be like yo, we're still investing in hardware

spk_0 But if they have made so many bad decisions that were at a point that people don't want to support them

spk_0 The decisions made for them. I think that's kind of the bigger picture feeling I have towards the Xbox and Microsoft

spk_0 Brands as a whole right now where Sarah and Phil like they the decisions they're making whether they are good or they are bad

spk_0 The way they're presenting to us. They're almost irrelevant because the people above them in any moment can be like

spk_0 Nah, I know you just said that three days ago, but we're doing this now

spk_0 And I think that that's been the biggest hurdle because at the end of the day I've said this forever

spk_0 Game Pass is unbelievable. How is it possible that you're putting out all your first?

spk_0 Well, it turns out it's not it's not

spk_0 That's the reason it's never if that Xbox is said so you know how we said it was the best value

spk_0 It's because we took on that cause and now we can't afford anymore because we've spent all of our money on AI and we're

spk_0 You know compromise another part to the Microsoft business so well we got to raise the price on everybody

spk_0 Everyone's like no, you're still a highly profitable corporation

spk_0 How do you guys feel about the story within a story here? Right like they put in the excerpt here from Bloomberg where they reported

spk_0 That their decision release call the duty as a day one game pass title has cost it over three hundred million dollars in lost sales because people are

spk_0 Playing it through game pass we all knew that was gonna say no shit

spk_0 You read that I was riding on the wall for sure because you read that and immediately go well

spk_0 No wonder you're raising the price and having all the day one game pass things be at that $30 here because you got to make up for all the lost

spk_0 Call of Duty sales

spk_0 I don't know why they agreed to be that in the first place like I'm I remember when that story broke when they originally announced that they were doing

spk_0 Like day one of their like major triple a's I was like why why would you do that you know? Yeah, I mean I stand by like I remember it was me and you on games daily

spk_0 It was to me the most shocking new story we've ever covered here was game pass because

spk_0 It and at the time it was different it was crackdown three coming out

spk_0 But we are now at the point that we are well past game of the year winner for it's a horizon five right yeah

spk_0 And Halo infinite and you know red fall and all of the other games like the dominoes that we talked about forever

spk_0 Those were all day one on game pass and now it's I owe call of duty as well, but yeah call of duty

spk_0 Is such an important money maker for the video game industry and if you just

spk_0 Slashed the potential for that game to make money the game's industry is making billions less or hundreds of millions less

spk_0 Right not a good place to be when the industry is in such a a war-torn

spk_0 State and we have less money to spend and all of that it's like man very very bad signs

spk_0 I want to call in Andy Robinson's reporting over to VGC who has this paragraph from their report

spk_0 Lena Khan who was the chair of the FTC from 2021 until earlier this year took to social media after the game pass news

spk_0 quoting a post which noted in March 2023

spk_0 Microsoft told a court that game pass prices would not increase as a result of its Activision Blizzard acquisition

spk_0 Quote Microsoft's acquisition of Activision has been followed by significant price hikes and layoffs

spk_0 harming both gamers and developers con wrote as we've seen across sectors increasing market consolidation and increasing prices

spk_0 Also go hunt off-dan go hand in hand as dominant firms become too big to care

spk_0 They can make things worse for their customers without having to worry about their consequences

spk_0 Dang, so we should listen to the FTC bless

spk_0 Should listen to the FTC, you know, and I mean I mean have had me all wrong had me all twisted about him for so long

spk_0 Yeah, I don't write but it would maybe have an M was wrong

spk_0 Um, I do want to call out that there's been a couple of people in the chat that have noted

spk_0 That Sarabhan confirmed that Xbox game pass is profitable

spk_0 But there was a caveat that they are not

spk_0 Counting revenue lost from first-party game sales in that profitability

spk_0 And that to me is a huge

spk_0 Yeah, uh, numbers numbers not being reckoned right like I would like to see those line items next to each other because I have a feeling they

spk_0 Don't line up great

spk_0 Andy Mike, I know we're seeing a lot of super chats in here about kind of funny games daily two thousand more

spk_0 We've seen anybody signed off about Xbox

spk_0 Have a couple here

spk_0 One person who says

spk_0 Andy love the jacket thanks to

spk_0 The

spk_0 We also have a super chat here from

spk_0 Thorded junk who says

spk_0 Sudden off no, that's not a games daily one. Oh, sorry. I got the wrong one right there. My bad

spk_0 They're coming in real fast. There's a lot. We're at around 240 by the way. Oh wow

spk_0 Like crazy pace right now, but they keep on like refreshing and like ruining the screen

spk_0 I think YouTube's kind of breaking uh, we have zero VGM with a $10 UB China says

spk_0 I'm signaling my prediction within three to four years

spk_0 They'll leave the hardware market and launch a first-party only streaming version of Game Pass for ps5 and switch to parentheses

spk_0 No day ones back catalog only

spk_0 Yeah, that wouldn't surprise me like maybe not that exact version of that

spk_0 But some iteration of that idea I think is inevitable and again, I if I had to guess hardware wise what happens to Xbox

spk_0 I think Xbox

spk_0 This is probably the last generation that's they actually have a console that is just an Xbox that's not seen

spk_0 More as a PC and I think that we've seen so much evidence towards get into the point now that the Xbox brand is the cloud stuff

spk_0 And is Game Pass and is more PC focused and with that I think that we already are seeing the handheld market with the the

spk_0 Raj ally

spk_0 X I think the same thing's gonna happen on the more desktop box side whatever that looks like

spk_0 I think they're going to partner with other OEMs it might be a sus it might be someone else

spk_0 And I think that the Xbox

spk_0 Windows experience the gaming experience that is just what's going to be in a bunch of different things

spk_0 And it's gonna function more like android and I think that PlayStation's gonna function more like apple

spk_0 And I think that's just kind of what's gonna happen going forward

spk_0 I think that's where I'd like to pivot the conversation just a smidge is talking about going forward

spk_0 Where I'm of the mind like we've talked about in this that yes, even if X one day I think Xbox gets out of hardware

spk_0 I'm not crystal balling in suit saying in blah blah

spk_0 I do think next generation they're still here with an Xbox my question becomes this the rumor has always been or at least what we

spk_0 We kick around in this show and you see kicked around the internet right well the next Xbox will be in line with what we're seeing from their

spk_0 Partnership with ROG what we're seeing with AMD and it'll be a Xbox that can also boot PC games and have steam and have you know

spk_0 The riot launcher and all that jazz on there the steam deck

spk_0 But a big boy

spk_0 Big boy right my question becomes for the panel and I'll start with you Tim as you're piercing eye contact with those second best baby blues

spk_0 Do you think that that would be enough to change perception and get Xbox going the right direction?

spk_0 Absolutely not, but I think at this point it's not about that they lost that now it's just like how do they just make money in function

spk_0 And how do they win as much as they can to themselves the console wars are over like we're here still talking about all this

spk_0 But like like they just are like no

spk_0 And it's not a bad thing my intake wasn't about consoles

spk_0 It was more the fact of like I don't even think of it anymore as Xbox trying to change

spk_0 Their place in all this

spk_0 Change good will oh where people are gonna be like oh man. I do love X no no no

spk_0 It's I mean like we're talking about uh at best a Sega situation

spk_0 But on a much much much much much grander scale unlike we've ever seen

spk_0 Microsoft

spk_0 Microsoft not Xbox Microsoft owns the majority of game developers in the world at this point right they have control over

spk_0 More teams than any other publisher out there and we're talking about teams of consequence

spk_0 We're talking about Call of Duty all 15 teams working on those games and working on nothing freaking else right like that

spk_0 I think is uh

spk_0 So there's so much there that like the Xbox brand. I don't think can just go away because there is so much money being made

spk_0 And I I think there's so much good happening still and that there is value there

spk_0 But yeah in terms of Xbox being like a dominant brand and like them saving face and like goodwill and all that stuff

spk_0 No, no, no, they're playing a different game now like they lost the game. They were playing they need to figure out what game to play

spk_0 And unfortunately I think it's gonna be a game a lot of us go. No, don't play that game. Yeah, it's a way for me

spk_0 Which sucks cuz like a few years ago

spk_0 I think a lot of us wrote mine of like oh damn. They're playing a game that I want to see them win right like the what they're doing with game

spk_0 Pass what they're doing with play anywhere what they're doing with cloud cloud right like this ecosystem driven approach

spk_0 I think there was so much potential in that because we talk about how console gaming and how

spk_0 Triple a prestige titles right when I'm looking at PlayStation

spk_0 How expensive those are to make and how like those numbers strike a little shift or down your spine when you think about like is this actually

spk_0 So stateable is this actually money maker is this the thing that you can do long-term

spk_0 I would have thought that the Xbox approach would have been the one where as we're going into the next generation of games

spk_0 We're talking about Xbox being number one and we're not right because a lot of that has toppled and that's from a lot of different

spk_0 Reasoning whether it be just the economy and whether it be investments in AI whether it

spk_0 Be the acquisition of Activision Blizzard which would a lot of scrutiny on the Xbox team right like it's coming for all different

spk_0 Directions as far as the hits that Xbox is taking and I think why we're in this place that we're in but man

spk_0 I would have liked to see them actually pull pull them off in a different timeline

spk_0 100% I do think it's important to note because as we've been having this conversation and it's it's hanging a little

spk_0 doom and gloom for Xbox. I was like

spk_0 What were the last earnings reports numbers and so I looked it up and

spk_0 Over at games industry dot biz

spk_0 It says that the headline is Xbox content and services revenue up 13% year on year

spk_0 Microsoft was the top publisher on Xbox and PlayStation in Q4 of 2025 or not 2025 excuse me that can't be right

spk_0 I have a fiscal year for 2025. Let me clarify that

spk_0 Which is the three months that ended on June 30th

spk_0 For anybody keeping score

spk_0 That revenue was

spk_0 76.4 billion dollars with a net income of

spk_0 27.2 billion

spk_0 So they

spk_0 Made 27 billion dollars their next financial thing is the end of October very very excited to see what they have

spk_0 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, 100% it's gonna be very telling because yeah, you know, they're gonna be there

spk_0 And they're gonna be like yeah gamebass is profitable and like money's up

spk_0 And it's like to Andrea's point earlier. It's like that's not the whole story and so I do think that

spk_0 The money is coming in now and again, they're putting the money out for it to come in they just they acquired activists for 69 billion dollars man

spk_0 Like that's crazy and yeah, they're just gonna continue the money is still coming in but we got to just be real like

spk_0 Let's talk about the hardware side. Let's be real about the hardware side right now no matter what's happening

spk_0 The official price of the series X is $650 it already wasn't selling

spk_0 Yeah, yeah, and I keep how how many is it gonna sell in the next year the next year from today

spk_0 How many units is that thing gonna sell it's not

spk_0 I really am I when they when both Sony and

spk_0 In Microsoft raised the console prices

spk_0 I just thought it was I was shocked

spk_0 I was like you guys can absorb like this tariff cost that people keep pointing to as a reason

spk_0 And like the rising cost of literally everything like you guys should be absorbing that in order to maintain

spk_0 The audience like the idea that those that older technology is going up

spk_0 In costs is just it's unfathomable to me. I mean, I just get the vibe though that the people that really could make that decision though

spk_0 Super high ups. Mm-hmm. There are the ones looking at me like hey you're y'all's little experiment is pissing us off

spk_0 Yeah, you know, they'd be like no no no no no we're not absorbing anything

spk_0 You know like that's it we lost 300 million dollars

spk_0 We've been in court for a year and a half which is not

spk_0 Nothing right three million dollars is it's wild to even say that like it's a drop in the book it for Microsoft

spk_0 But when they're quarterly revenue as a company is you know 27 billion dollars

spk_0 You feel like 300 billion is almost like a rounding era and that's wild. Yeah, that's insanity

spk_0 I mean, this is back to the whole problem with where we are right now with corporate greed

spk_0 Is that if any of these corporations were able to step up and eat the cost hey?

spk_0 And then have that be the message

spk_0 We're not raising the price of it

spk_0 We're even lowering it and that means to our shareholders

spk_0 We're going from a double digit profit to a single digit profit while we weather this storm and hopefully win good will and bring you back

spk_0 We're lowering the price of game pass

spk_0 We're not putting in the fortnight thing. Sorry, bless. I know you're excited about that

spk_0 We're not giving you the Ubisoft classics. I know you were champ

spk_0 No, we're gonna figure out a way right now

spk_0 And like even put a time on it for the next six months. We're committing to this. We want to get you in the door

spk_0 We want you to be here. We understand times are tough right now

spk_0 And I know that that's in 2025 a crazy fucking thing to say that's what's so mad about though

spk_0 Great because it's not that crazy

spk_0 Companies used to do this all the time. It's like really bad financial situation that the United States finds herself in it's not the first time

spk_0 This has happened. I mean the last really bad one where a stagflation

spk_0 Really impacted our day to day lives was like back in the 70s

spk_0 But companies just have been in their mind now that they don't have to care

spk_0 About their consumer and that sucks man. It really just feels bad 100 per

spk_0 But small businesses everywhere are eating the cost that they didn't ask for that they get no benefit for

spk_0 And I see it all the time and like some of the

spk_0 Companies that I've bought stuff from saying hey, you know, we don't want to add like a $10 tariff fee

spk_0 So we're either gonna stop I've seen people just stop selling they've closed their shops while the tariff situation is ongoing

spk_0 Or they said hey just so you know if you want you can add on the cost to help us as a small business

spk_0 But we're not raising our prices and it's so silly to me that these giant corporations who have the money are not even doing

spk_0 Anything close to that

spk_0 Andy Mike I want to pull in a super chat. Can you see JPMs and read me that one or is it all

spk_0 Is it all food bar on your

spk_0 I don't know which JPM you're talking. Oh, yes, I do see a nice job. I do see it from JPM

spk_0 Says I was ready to buy the ROG ally X but with all the Xbox situation going on

spk_0 I'm not show sir anymore anyone else feeling the same way

spk_0 Blessing wears your temperature, and I know you were never like I can't wait for it

spk_0 But I mean like in terms of what you're seeing and what you would recommend here for JPM

spk_0 Oh forgetting that I mean listen

spk_0 I'm a steam deck rider diet

spk_0 So you're asking the wrong person because I'm gonna be like yo get it. Oh, let get a steam deck. Oh, I want to steam deck

spk_0 All it um, but like I think those are valid feelings

spk_0 um like how much do you guys know how much is the ROG ally X is a thousand Jesus. Yeah, G a bank

spk_0 This people say and what's the official way we're supposed to say it

spk_0 I say ROG because I talked to somebody who used to work in a public of gamers

spk_0 So technically you should say but rock sounds better. Yeah, I was told a roge

spk_0 Rod because of Rod

spk_0 But I was told by somebody who used to work there that it is ROG. You say the letters like out. That makes sense

spk_0 Yeah, okay, I hear you but I also get a gif and you know exactly

spk_0 I mean, and then there's ad and ATAT so I mean that's made up stuff. It's not

spk_0 To this person I'll say look at the catalog that's coming up and ask yourself

spk_0 Next year you're gonna get a new forza you're gonna get a new gears of war

spk_0 You're gonna get a new fable and theoretically you're gonna get a halo

spk_0 do those four game speed to you

spk_0 For 360 dollars a year for game pass, right like I think that's what the math is gonna come down to and then also

spk_0 Yeah, of course having a a handheld which I can't I think today is gaming landscape

spk_0 I can't recommend enough having a PC gaming handheld like it is totally not to

spk_0 I guess over say it but like it really has revolutionized the way I play video games

spk_0 It's changed the way I play games. It's such a nice thing to have a PC handheld. I actually play PC games. Yeah same

spk_0 Yeah, like it was like a console diehard. I play way more PC games

spk_0 Now than I did before I ever had my my steam deck that said whether or not you should get an ROG L.I. X or

spk_0 Something else, right like I steam one terabyte steam deck OLED is

spk_0 650 yeah, see that is superior choice that'll be my right at this particular moment

spk_0 Like I assume the ROG L.I. X is probably what stronger this one. Yeah, it's

spk_0 Significantly stronger. That's my take on this is way to couple weeks for the reviews of the people that actually know what they're talking about reviewing this thing

spk_0 Because the reality of this is the ally X is gonna be amazing. It's gonna be worth the money for the tech that's in it

spk_0 Not worth it to everybody like if you look at the angle

spk_0 I'm not spending a thousand dollars in a hand. No one's gonna be mad at you. These are expensive

spk_0 I feel this composition is PC gaming in a nutshell

spk_0 It is you can spend a lot of money and have a really cool fast powerful rig

spk_0 Or you can spend a moderate amount of money and have a very serviceable machine that lets you play games and have a good time

spk_0 The difference is the that there needs to be

spk_0 Kind of standardized. We are building for this machine and that has happened with the steam deck

spk_0 It's why it's so successful is the devs are tailoring the experience to make sure their games can play on that platform

spk_0 And they have a verification system

spk_0 It seems like Xbox is taking that very seriously and they are also trying to do that on the ally

spk_0 So I am choosing to believe that it is going to work

spk_0 I think that the biggest thing is going against the ally X is going to be if there's some crazy fail flaw that reviewers catch like yeah

spk_0 But I don't think there's gonna be um and I think that that is going to be the

spk_0 They're putting more into this. We already know that the rogue ally is awesome. Yeah, I love my ally X

spk_0 So it's like it's this is going to be a great product period

spk_0 Is it something that you should buy over a steam deck not necessarily? I think that the steam deck is still going to be the

spk_0 One that the majority of developers are looking at and are like we're going to design for this

spk_0 So do you need the extra power? I don't know the steam deck really does get the job done right like I think that for me

spk_0 I own both a

spk_0 Uh roge ally uh and I own a steam deck in my roge ally just collects dust because my steam deck all it's to what Tim said right like that should over

spk_0 What are you doing?

spk_0 I mean you definitely don't need to

spk_0 I keep being creating because Kevin asked for it to like a long time ago

spk_0 But like if you want to let me know because right now yeah, you can arm wrestle Kevin

spk_0 I think you want to rog specifically but either way right like my look about those things my steam deck just has

spk_0 There's the compatibility

spk_0 I've already set it up with all the alleged emulation stuff that I got going see

spk_0 I think that's the thing for me with the rogue ally right also easy to use

spk_0 I like it more than the steam deck because it runs the native pc triple a games

spk_0 I'm trying to play better than my steam deck ran them with less hurdles and less protons and all this jazz the

spk_0 the

spk_0 Combrice from nature and the hurdles I thought I would have to cross on the rogg are the ones I actually had to do on steam

spk_0 Dequish again, where like click this that it worked through this Andy make it work that kind of thing

spk_0 Where's like the rogg doesn't do that for me now? I'm not doing price a legend and I'm not doing a legend

spk_0 Yes, 100% I'm not doing the alleged emulation. I'm not doing anything other sure trying to play games and I'm sure I adore my rogg that reason

spk_0 So again for the Xbox to this question wait for reviews since we're so close

spk_0 But I'm still hype for it with the idea of it launching into this Xbox ecosystem not eating up as much memory

spk_0 Hopefully running faster and better than what I already have in love. Yeah, and I'm sure like the emulation stuff probably

spk_0 I imagine might even work better on the rog ally

spk_0 I like I don't know what the comparison is there but I think for me was steam deck it comes down to how it kind of is the console

spk_0 The closest to a console experience you can have on a PC product right where I booted up

spk_0 It's full-screen steam mode and everything's just set up the way that I wanted to be set up

spk_0 Which I know on the aces rog ally I could probably get it there

spk_0 But I already have it there with my steam

spk_0 Also, does anybody want the donut later? I can pass these out

spk_0 No, right. I feel like if I start eating the donut with that much frosting is just gonna go everywhere. Yeah, yeah

spk_0 Thank you

spk_0 Okay, nice aces says it's not that much better than your current ally Greg sure

spk_0 But it's got the grips which I find more comfortable this in this is like ongoing conversation

spk_0 I've said it was like

spk_0 Having the rogg ally X right now for a year falling in love with that

spk_0 That's a review when they sent us obviously if they were to take that away

spk_0 I would I would throw the thousand dollars at this new one

spk_0 On the I also believe that it's gonna be good the the new one is significantly better than the one you have like significantly better

spk_0 But the question there is is that is the better going to be used correct? Yeah optimized and that is a big question

spk_0 We will wait and see and we'll keep you posted here on kind of funny games because of your support

spk_0 Let's get out of this Xbox business and go to story number two details emerge on Xbox fuck. Oh

spk_0 Number two details emerge on Xbox is canceled uncharted rival

spk_0 This is project ranger and Andy Robinson over at VGC a new video has unearthed

spk_0 Details on the canceled Xbox exclusive project ranger an uncharted style action adventure game once planned for Xbox one

spk_0 Project ranger is said to be the game famously teased via a 30 second trailer during Xbox's e3 2013 press conference and never seen again

spk_0 At the time the title was attached to black tusk studios

spk_0 Which would later be renamed the coalition and take over stewardship of the gears of war franchise

spk_0 A new video by did you know gaming investigates the fate of the mysterious project revealing that it was to be Xbox's answer to the Sony's uncharted series

spk_0 Quote in short the idea for this game was uncharted with spies says researcher Liam Robertson

spk_0 An action packed third person shooter where the player controlled secret agents on high octane espionage missions in various cities around the world

spk_0 Pre-production on ranger began in early 2012

spk_0 It's claimed with the mission impossible movies cited as a strong influence on the project's direction

spk_0 The game would feature a single male protagonist who would use bond style gadgets to distract enemies and hack scenery

spk_0 The game was also planned to include connect functionality

spk_0 With players able to change their primary weapons fire mode or ask for tips from their handler by speaking to the sensor

spk_0 Thank god that never happened

spk_0 The e3 teaser which was made using unreal engine was reportedly based on a Shanghai mission planned for the game in which players would have to infiltrate an office building occupied by terrorists

spk_0 Ultimately project rangers development was cut short after the opportunity arose from Microsoft to revive a classic series in late 2013

spk_0 Microsoft acquired gears of war from epic games and black tusk felt like it was good to take over the blub series

spk_0 In early 2014 the decision was made

spk_0 Officially in a meeting with the studios wider team that ranger would be cancelled in favor of a new gears of war shortly after the company was renamed the coalition

spk_0 Blessing what could have been man

spk_0 I've I've asked for this before

spk_0 I've so badly wanted an uncharted style game but with a mission possible aesthetic and like that kind of spy espionage story with like big action set pieces

spk_0 I just want naughty dog to make mission impossible and not literally like I don't want them to like make another IP

spk_0 But like I want I know want them to make like a licensed IP like that

spk_0 But I do want that style of game made with quality. I'm I got my fingers crossed at this 007 game

spk_0 We got cut coming up is gonna fulfill that for me because we don't have enough of these types of games coming out

spk_0 Andrea do you need a mission possible game?

spk_0 I would play it

spk_0 I think I see an uncharted rival and I say well they already have Indiana Jones and that game did pretty well

spk_0 Yeah, they were gonna be fine. You know, it's you know much more like an actual uncharted rival. Yeah for sure

spk_0 but

spk_0 I think that this type of game would do well, but right now this sounds like a two to four hundred million dollar idea to really

spk_0 Execute it well and people aren't making those right now

spk_0 Here you know too many always loving uncharted style of course I do yeah, I am so old

spk_0 I just I remember this like I don't miss dire about this like this is crazy

spk_0 Yeah, the black tussard is that's nuts

spk_0 And yeah to see just where we're at with all of this. It's like yeah, this could have been awesome

spk_0 And I do think that there was a time that this could have hits

spk_0 But we're so far from that time and yeah, it's it's sad that

spk_0 I think that we're just gonna get less of these type of things than then more so

spk_0 I would love to see it never think we will no perfect dark could have been the

spk_0 Oh, oops, yeah, I was gonna say reading that I'm like I get a lot of perfect dark from so sad. Yeah

spk_0 I just want I just want more of this genre. It doesn't need to be the most triple a triple a things

spk_0 I just want more spy espionage. I want my eye. I was gonna say to hurt

spk_0 More triple a the mind you know me like that sweet spot

spk_0 Give me like to bond I think bond will um I want

spk_0 Uh, he's like studios to give me one. Oh, wow. I feel like they they got the skill like they got the moment to moment

spk_0 Like you know action set pieces and all that shit right like I think there's something

spk_0 The thing about mission impossible that I love is that mission impossible

spk_0 Ups the anti

spk_0 For like to an extent to where like you're you're on the edge of your seat right?

spk_0 Oh man this person needs to do this thing while being undercover while there's other persons like trying to hack into the thing while this while like

spk_0 Person number one. Oh man. There's that be cool. The guards are coming by like you need it now hurry up or do it

spk_0 Like there's a level of tension and a level of like just cool shit happening

spk_0 I'm gonna turn off the certain of the cameras in 30 seconds. You gotta be ready to go. Yeah

spk_0 And like you know, I think we should go work at hazelight. He's like hit me up, you know

spk_0 Splinter cell fan you know, I never got to be in the wall like a god damn cool

spk_0 It's interesting that you are really into the this genre, but I would recommend you check out that franchise

spk_0 You know, I did play a little bit of conviction. I want to say and conviction. Yeah, that I remember

spk_0 I remember liking that one a lot. You know what it is. It's the Miller solid fan in me as well

spk_0 We just haven't had a Miller solid in so long. Yeah

spk_0 Isn't yeah, maybe that I mean that's probably gonna be one of everything

spk_0 I'll remember everybody. This is the two thousandth episode of kind of funny games daily to celebrate

spk_0 We're trying to get two thousand YouTube superchats over on youtube.com slash kind of funny games

spk_0 They don't have to be big dollar amounts. We just want the overall number Andy Mike. How are we doing?

spk_0 How are we doing Andy? How are we doing? I'm head down

spk_0 There's a lot of down from my life. We are we really are Roger last updated me at 1042 so that was 10 minutes ago

spk_0 We're at 282 superchats and I'm collecting them man

spk_0 He's putting them all on the table. I'm the computer man. It's crazy. Yeah

spk_0 And I was like oh you should like check out snipping tool and he leaned over and he was like, I don't I do that

spk_0 Yeah

spk_0 Why don't they just like if you logged in then you could break out the chat and just do it like there at all superchats

spk_0 So many

spk_0 I have it open as well. What are you talking about really important one from Omar five dollars. He says hi Mike nice jacket. Thank you

spk_0 So you got a 50 dollars from Sears

spk_0 You got a good compliment right there

spk_0 We also had one from the homey the legendary

spk_0 Radic

spk_0 Who wanted to congratulate us on 2000 episodes? I love that thank you

spk_0 Well, let's move on to story number three funcom is closing metal hell singer developer the outsiders

spk_0 This is Chris Kerr at game developer

spk_0 Metal hell singer developer the outsiders is being shuttered by parent company funcom the outsiders founder and creative director

spk_0 David Goldfarb

spk_0 Shared the news on blue sky. That's BS Tim and explained the decade old studio will be closing its doors

spk_0 The news comes days after funcom confirmed it would be making layoffs just months after a million seller

spk_0 Dune Awakening became quote unquote the biggest release in its history

spk_0 Funcom didn't explain how many people will be impacted by the cuts

spk_0 But we now know that one internal studio has been torched the outsiders is credited with working on dune awakening

spk_0 It's unclear how many people will lose their jobs at the stock home studio as a result of the closure

spk_0 Andrea you're back, but the news never changes. There's a reason why I got out of news Greg and this story is exactly it

spk_0 It's really

spk_0 Sad it's just pointing we don't want to see people lose their jobs. We don't see creatives be cut off from their work

spk_0 but

spk_0 What are you gonna do? Yeah, I remember metal hell singer. I didn't play it. I bless was this you were an Andy

spk_0 It was mostly it was mostly Andy. That's a me game and metal hell singer was so damn good

spk_0 Can you give me the snops? This is the one to the beat. I'm running around shooting. Yes

spk_0 Troy Baker is kind of your little like side character who's always with you and

spk_0 It is a rhythm first-person shooter game and it was fantastic

spk_0 It pretty much just plays like doom

spk_0 But different weapons act different ways and then you are always kind of like you know your crosshairs are in the middle

spk_0 And you want to hit those shots on the beat and it is some of the most hype shit

spk_0 You've ever experienced it's when you are waiting to hit that one shot when the beat drops after the next measure

spk_0 Really really awesome the some of the coolest fun as boss fights. I've experienced as well

spk_0 And yeah, I think it I think this is a magic or a massive tragedy because I I think metal hell singer was like

spk_0 Number seven on my game of the year that year

spk_0 It's one that I highly recommend anybody who cares about first-person shooters who cares about doom or who cares about

spk_0 Real-in games

spk_0 Yeah, I remember

spk_0 Shout out of course the folks who made this they came up to me at sgf and were like big kind of funny fans

spk_0 They'd already heard any talk about it

spk_0 They wanted to thank us for supporting the game so it sucks to see them here

spk_0 Especially on the heels of doon awakening quote-unquote biggest release of the year Tim. Yep

spk_0 Wild, yeah, I mean like what a what a major success doon awakening is and I it just sucks that we so often are pairing

spk_0 major success and win stories with

spk_0 These sad stories and it's just like god

spk_0 We got to solve that problem somehow and it seems like we're not getting closer to being able to do that like yeah

spk_0 Doon awakening has been such a major win critically and financially for them

spk_0 So this is definitely a bummer and it it really just makes you kind of look and go like what's going on?

spk_0 Yeah, yeah, I had echo everything you guys are talking about and yeah, like I

spk_0 You know doon awakening is one that

spk_0 seemingly

spk_0 Maybe even more successful than was anticipated at least for my end right like doon awakening

spk_0 I was kind of looking forward to just because I was newly into doon from watching you know

spk_0 I was thinking of the actor um

spk_0 To me the man. Yeah, watching Timothy. Challenge. You're a bit. No

spk_0 I'm doing some top steamboat shit. I was about to say Tom Holland. I was like that's not the guy who's

spk_0 But yeah, seeing Timothy. Challenge me to his thing in the movie. I was like oh, let's go

spk_0 I want to live in this world and yeah, I do know what you didn't came out and I played that stream with

spk_0 Mike and Andy and Nick and like seeing what that game is doing. I'm like damn dude

spk_0 That's crazy that like this game. It was really good

spk_0 It lives in this universe and is authentic to this universe and Nick's carpino really likes it

spk_0 Also, Gary would have really likes it right and like it seems like it's really doing something out

spk_0 You can get the olds. Yeah, exactly like they're able to get like the old the old with the old ones who like doon Greg

spk_0 Hey, that's true. That is true. Yeah, it's not a bad point. I just loved it when

spk_0 Nick

spk_0 Made a comment to Gary with a of you should come play doon with us

spk_0 And then Nick wouldn't play doon with Gary Whittaker for the longest time and now Gary Whittaker is like the doon

spk_0 Overlord from where I understand he's running like the biggest business in the world. He saw an al-Gaib. Yeah

spk_0 Tim I got bad news for you number four PlayStation quietly cancels the remaining PlayStation the concert

spk_0 2025 tour dates in us. This is Andy Robinson at VGC

spk_0 PlayStation appears to have quietly canceled virtually all its remaining

spk_0 2025 dates for its PlayStation the concert events in the US

spk_0 PlayStation the concert is a live show featuring music from across PlayStation's 30-year history

spk_0 Notably including music composed from the last of us. Great. I'm going to stop you real quick and you unplug and re-plug in your microphone

spk_0 Reload reload. There you go

spk_0 Music from the last of us horizon ghost of sushi and god of war and more the tour kicked off in the UK earlier this year

spk_0 With shows taking place in multiple cities including London and Glasgow Glasgow Glasgow. I got there. I got there anybody calm down

spk_0 Andy telling the calm down glass gal glass

spk_0 The tour is European run seemingly ran into trouble with several events reportedly canceled in country such as Poland

spk_0 Sweden in Norway Italy and others planned for Germany booted past pushback until the summer

spk_0 Now to peers ticket buyers for the PlayStation PlayStation the concerts US dates are set a similar set for similar disappointment

spk_0 After social media users reported being notified of cancellations for planned 2025 events in Atlanta Cleveland Detroit Charlotte in more

spk_0 According to ticket master previously announced 2025 dates for New York

spk_0 Washington DC Grand Rapids Huntsville Chicago Boston Philadelphia have all been canceled. Let's get that one city

spk_0 Reading oh reading sorry reading oh I didn't know if it was like a you didn't know for the record. That could be is it reading or is it ready?

spk_0 I don't know what happens when an international person writes it no one knows what reading we're talking about and also nobody cares

spk_0 Reading Pennsylvania reading I know he knows

spk_0 Back me up here ready and

spk_0 Yeah, it's ready. I mean, I also just saw a town in New York that looks like chili, but is shyly

spk_0 Oh, well

spk_0 Yes, that's why I said I go I go that's a fake thing. Yeah, the fake thing. That's not real. Apparently it is real

spk_0 To hear a fence Greg. I feel like reading no fence to read. You don't belong between that's what I'm saying

spk_0 Adirovans and look at listed dates and he's like I guess this is a major city

spk_0 One city's not here. San Francisco San Francisco my ticket not canceled yet. Okay tickets still available. Okay for the February

spk_0 16th show I think

spk_0 Um

spk_0 Yeah, so I'm interested. I expect it will be canceled. Um, I am bummed by that obviously

spk_0 Um, yeah, it's I already talked about my thoughts on on the show before where I think the arrangements are amazing

spk_0 I think that the production value is just being put in the wrong places with it

spk_0 Um, and so far I've been kind of like let down by uh how they set this up is like this is going to be the best video game concert production

spk_0 You've ever seen and it's simply not

spk_0 Um, and a big part of that was the reliance on pre-recorded audio

spk_0 So there are very limited amount of musicians on the stage and it's

spk_0 mainly just like piped in audio playing

spk_0 um

spk_0 Certain instruments and vocals that like you should be performing this on stage, right? Um, so yeah

spk_0 The whole point of a concert. Yeah, it is the C musicians perform it is um, and there there are musicians and they are great again great

spk_0 arrangements and I've watched this entire show on YouTube already and it's good

spk_0 It's then I'm still excited to see it if it still happens

spk_0 But

spk_0 bummed to see this all happened. There's definitely a huge investment for them

spk_0 um, so yeah, I

spk_0 This sucks to see and I I wonder why and it's probably because it's not selling. Yeah

spk_0 Uh, I want to talk about that, but I do want from the super chats. Can you guys give me sort by first names comments on this?

spk_0 I sure can that's one I was gonna read Greg. I genuinely enjoyed PlayStation the concert in London earlier this year

spk_0 I think that's a shame says for it by first name. I think it's interesting

spk_0 You know going to see video game music not for every video game fan of course

spk_0 But of course video game was live went on for many a year

spk_0 Uh, going on and doing that and I think it's interesting to have this

spk_0 PlayStation centric thing when and I know this is little apples and we're just but stick with my reference

spk_0 The with PSX dead where PSX I feel like when PSX were happening

spk_0 That was like the pinnacle of PlayStation. We're a community. There's podcasts

spk_0 There's all these other than there's this there's games. There's thing where we love Troy with

spk_0 And then they killed that and I feel like PlayStation killed all their faces

spk_0 And they're just this monolith of the we are PlayStation the brand and that's like not something that's easy for people to be like

spk_0 I fuck with this I connect with this in a world where I'm looking to belong

spk_0 I belong to PlayStation anymore

spk_0 So then to come out and do this it's kind of like

spk_0 Yeah, I like the music in the last of us, but what do I want to go see that in concert?

spk_0 Do I want to do something else my time blah blah blah

spk_0 What's the name of the dude that was in the commercials Kevin sub in Marcus

spk_0 Kevin Marcus sellers right?

spk_0 Marcus for PSP remember we have a Butler. I think we need another we need a new Kevin Butler

spk_0 Just said I was gonna say just we settled the lawsuit get Kevin Butler back on it. This is lawsuit. Oh, yeah

spk_0 You don't remember this Mario Kart. Oh dude. It was great. They used him as he was Kevin Butler on PlayStation forever

spk_0 Yeah, and then he didn't read his contract

spk_0 I guess it's so he took a firestone ad where he played we

spk_0 Oh internet you that fucking blue

spk_0 Oh, you can't yeah, there was a lot of kids at the end of the end together

spk_0 But it's time for the first games later. Yeah, yeah

spk_0 It's one the

spk_0 The first cancellation that's when the world learned the power really do this

spk_0 I think fandom of playstations in an interesting spot. You hate it's yeah, I feel like I don't and maybe this is

spk_0 This is probably very most likely my algorithm right like I feel like most the fandom I see on my timeline is Xbox

spk_0 Like I feel like I don't see I don't see plays. They just don't know selling back their Xboxes

spk_0 That's what my reddit feed has been dominated by people coming to the place

spk_0 Is this people fighting?

spk_0 entire Xbox like community because it's fighting on my timeline

spk_0 I don't see anybody from like Nintendo PlayStation PC. It's just chaos

spk_0 That I say on my timeline. I think PlayStation as a brand has just dramatically changed how they're representing themselves in marketing and in community spaces

spk_0 Like you said, they're just not there anymore

spk_0 I think back to all of the events that PlayStation used to do that we as members of the media would go to

spk_0 And they've scaled those back

spk_0 dramatically and they are having much smaller events

spk_0 Targeted around key triple a's and they're not doing these long marketing cycles leading up to the triple a's like

spk_0 I remember you know when we got to summer game fest and I was really surprised that PlayStation

spk_0 Wasn't going to be at playdays, but they were doing this red carpet event for death stranding too

spk_0 And then I was like wait a minute is death stranding to

spk_0 Coming out really soon feels like I haven't heard anything or seen any media

spk_0 Around that and I think it just represents an overall shift in what they're doing with the brand

spk_0 But I mean, they're still quietly putting out some of the best video games that are being made today for for modern consoles

spk_0 And I am fully

spk_0 You know confident that their business is strong and doing well

spk_0 It just like you said it doesn't have that

spk_0 Communities camaraderie and that like we all love playing games together

spk_0 On our PlayStation. We're talking about our PlayStation fandom

spk_0 And I think that is a tragedy

spk_0 I'm gonna say that that community is not as strong as it wants

spk_0 What are like the ghost of yota activations that are happening?

spk_0 You know, I mean like what are you doing?

spk_0 Straths

spk_0 Oh, yeah, yeah, you're right. There's the beer the the theater stuff too

spk_0 There are alamo draft house where they're shown all those

spk_0 Films that inspired the game that's fair

spk_0 I didn't think about that feels like such a

spk_0 Richie upscale like oh you got to go to alamo draft house and all that kind of stuff

spk_0 It doesn't feel like a bringing community thing together if you just like the tree films nuts

spk_0 You know, a PlayStation truck driver truck

spk_0 No, I don't know if you're gonna have a truck truck

spk_0 I want pop-ups. I want to go see it with a pop-up where I can go and I feel like

spk_0 I'm in the like I'm in the setting you know what I mean? I want the grass. I want the hills. I want the

spk_0 Aurora Borlaya. I listen to one scene spoilers

spk_0 Oh

spk_0 They're being a giant

spk_0 Ghost of Yote activation will be big news

spk_0 But it's our two thousands episode. I want some big super chats Andy Mike. What do you got for me?

spk_0 You ready start going back and forth for some fun. It's really hard time. Of course don't mind the super chat throughout this like Matt Piscatela did

spk_0 Showcase being like uh GTA 6 is finally coming. Oh, it's the next summer game phase. It's the next opening night live

spk_0 It's the next Sony showcase and it was like GTA 6 and I maintain rock star does not need anybody else to release a trailer

spk_0 They have not done that in the past for like the first trailer. They're not going to do that. I'd never

spk_0 predicted it going out this way though

spk_0 I think I think for people like us who've been covering

spk_0 Rockstar for as many years of as we have like I think it all took us by surprise because they

spk_0 Are like four knots over there right that I gave me like they are locked down tight with their stuff

spk_0 Because they're you know IP is incredibly valuable and it was just like I think

spk_0 Such a bummer how it spilled out like this because

spk_0 I mean we're talking about thousands of people who have been working on this game of course for many years

spk_0 And it's supposed to be like this big debut moment and then you get these leaks and it just is always such a like a

spk_0 And obviously like when we all saw the like official trailer

spk_0 We were blown away it are we're rightly like very hyped to see more from this game

spk_0 But it was yeah, I mean it was a very very big news day incredible

spk_0 The highest profile video game leak of all time

spk_0 I mean it must be right like the trailer leaking hours before is one thing

spk_0 But I mean like the the hack of GTA 6 I think is definitely yeah, Bob there like well

spk_0 There's this there's insomniac right which I guess if I'm using the word high profile like

spk_0 GTA 6 is like the biggest gaming IP

spk_0 But like the but like I think what you also want to distinguish between like a leak and like a data mine right?

spk_0 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, but like somebody intentionally going into like stealing

spk_0 Information versus like one person on a team being like I want to show my friend this cool thing and then that friend like

spk_0 Tells another friend and now it's leaked because like in terms of volume there have been bigger video game leaks in terms of yeah like insomniac or

spk_0 Assassin's Creed

spk_0 Well, the Assassin's Creed every assassin's Creed every yes

spk_0 Pretty much every ever. It's through products from Canada

spk_0 When they got like they just the entire marketing plan for

spk_0 Oh, yeah, years before then or whatever yeah, well too right around the train the video leak. Yeah, yeah, dude real time

spk_0 Video leak is something that was like we're still referencing where's final fantasy?

spk_0 In video might be the biggest I guess in terms of like how many different games it touches that gave that list had kingdom

spk_0 Hearts 4 on it before the game wasn't now and all those games ended up being real it's crazy except for the weeks except for fall

spk_0 Fantasy 9 yeah, I mean Walmart Canada. Yeah

spk_0 What about um, what was the smash one that everybody was up in arms about the Grinch the Grinch

spk_0 Never forget the Grinch leak never forget it. That's like I for me that's a classic episode of K. H. D

spk_0 Because I've never had somebody convince me so strongly like like Tim did listening to that episode and me being like

spk_0 thumbnail I remember with the Grinch on it

spk_0 I was like man the Grinch leak is real

spk_0 I believed it because of Tim

spk_0 There's a super chat from sit-axe who says Greg while the teenager when GTA 7 comes out

spk_0 Hopefully not a 20 year old you know what I mean like I don't know

spk_0 I wouldn't let's not hold our breath for a bend to be in his teens

spk_0 uh as voted by you the kind of funny audience the second biggest story in our

spk_0 2000 episodes

spk_0 Greg Miller is banned from e3

spk_0 This is June 27 2019

spk_0 They have my tweet up there. This just says good morning hashtag. I'm banned from e3 and it's a screenshot of the email

spk_0 Hello, it's part of the e3 terms and conditions for 2019 you had agreed to the following

spk_0 The e3 badge is non transferable and is the property of the esa

spk_0 e3 badge swapping and or sharing is strictly prohibited any attendee founding you found using another attendees badge

spk_0 We'll have the badge confiscated and will be removed from the premises

spk_0 The e3 badge must be worn at all times

spk_0 Security confiscated your badge after stopping someone who had your badge on and whose ID did not match

spk_0 Every year management reviews each person and the reason their badge was confiscated and decides on whether they'll be granted or get

spk_0 Yeah granted admission to the show as a result of this violation

spk_0 You've been placed on a banned attendee list for 2020. That's still so creative

spk_0 The explanation makes it worse because it indicates a human being

spk_0 Reviewed your specific case and decided you Greg Miller. We're going to be banned good

spk_0 I honestly think this must have been a publicity stunt. No, I I wish that was true

spk_0 Because like their response and handling was so poor obviously from the jump here

spk_0 But then from the follow up like they couldn't have fucked up worse and then when I called them on it

spk_0 They were so like wow, so if you remember because it happened on games

spk_0 I think it was an episode you were on a Andrea because I remember

spk_0 This and like like I was like not

spk_0 Mad but I was just gobsmacked by it and the fact that they couldn't have picked a worse guy to say did this because I had the video footage

spk_0 From game spot of me on the stage ending e3 when the announcers like we're closing the doors and five minute

spk_0 You have to be off and one and so like I just sent them that video and I was like hey

spk_0 Here's me on this so there's no way I could have given my badge and had it confiscated

spk_0 I was like what I think happened is another

spk_0 Fat man with a beard showed up and said they were Greg Miller and showed the very nice people who worked at desk who are

spk_0 Not video game people they are convention center people. Where's your ID?

spk_0 I don't have it, but here's my Twitter profile and they looked at a guy with glasses and a beard in a overbite and being overweight

spk_0 And we're like checks out there's your badge that guy got caught and then everything went on fun

spk_0 And when I sent them that long description they sent back an email like

spk_0 Oh man listen

spk_0 Let's just solve this you're on band no big deal nobody and I'm like no no no no no no

spk_0 You know you're doing just come on and I'm like and meet you fucked up don't be like oh well, you know no big deal like no no

spk_0 I thought we talked about how you

spk_0 Always throw your badge in the trash after the show because I keep all of my badge

spk_0 I like have a video on my on my TikTok of like all of my badges

spk_0 And you were like maybe someone picked it up out of the trash

spk_0 But you saying that you were on stage until the very end of the show like that doesn't

spk_0 Check out then yeah, that was the thing is I throw my badge in my hotel trash can

spk_0 So it would have been like I made went through it, but again, there'd be no show to go to yeah

spk_0 You'd be trying to get it while they're packing everything up in the teacher's again

spk_0 This was in the montage video, but

spk_0 Some context the following year Greg host

spk_0 Yes, hilarious. Yes, hilarious. Yes. It's so good. I don't want us

spk_0 Stepping over the best part of this for Greg is tagging ESA the European Space Agency

spk_0 I caught a common problem sorry ESA I meant the E at the ESA as you can imagine I'm in a fragile emotional state right now

spk_0 Crazy that the European Space Agency. I'll live to the you know the ever respond click on the other one down there where I

spk_0 Apologized the the essay or I'm sorry did ESA respond to my apology?

spk_0 Oh the look in the European well if you click right there on June 27

spk_0 Yeah, which ESA we're talking about oh the

spk_0 Space Agency. Okay, okay. Yeah, again, these people paid me a lot of money to come

spk_0 No, you're in space agency did not they did not really apologize. I can't believe that you all like I so talk to me about

spk_0 how we wrote in

spk_0 To was it like a multiple choice or did enough people writing Greg is banned?

spk_0 Enough people wrote in yeah Greg Miller is banned from me. I appreciate that. Thank you very much. Yeah, because that's something like

spk_0 I occasionally comes around in the old thought process but yeah, you have a ridiculous thing you have an overbite huh

spk_0 Yeah, I got the big buck teeth they go over the front isn't that kind of thing over? I never noticed that Mike never noticed

spk_0 Yeah, like him mentioning a guy with glasses in the near the zone again. I'll show Andy on Andy. Oh god

spk_0 I

spk_0 Hear that come on I feel like

spk_0 I feel like everybody else real profile. That's an overbite. Yeah, I feel like everybody's mouth looks like rice

spk_0 Yeah

spk_0 I don't I don't your teeth won't you come and touch each other? Oh, I don't think it's like a dramatic over

spk_0 But like Cole the weener dog. He's got a big overbite. Oh fucking cool. Give me started

spk_0 Gray Almyeda with a $2.0 Super Chat says hop it into Hades 2 now hashtag team purple for life team purple team purple

spk_0 We're gonna win this one day. You'll get a star no big deal

spk_0 And then you're final number one

spk_0 The story you thought was the biggest story that's happened in 2000 episodes

spk_0 Xbox acquires Activision January 18th 2022

spk_0 The deal is announced on January 18th 2022. We're reading from the Xbox wire

spk_0 welcoming the incredible teams and legendary franchises of Activision Blizzard to Microsoft gaming

spk_0 Creators of Call of Duty World of Warcraft candy crush Tony Hawk Diablo overwatched Spyro, hearthstone guitar hero

spk_0 Crash bandacute star craft and more join team Xbox until his transition transaction closes

spk_0 Activision Blizzard and Microsoft gaming will continue to operate independently once the deal is complete

spk_0 The Activision Blizzard business will report to me as CEO Microsoft gaming. I assume this is Phil Spencer right

spk_0 Upon close we will offer as many Activision Blizzard games as we can within Xbox Game Pass and PC Game Pass

spk_0 Both new titles and games from Activision Blizzard's incredible catalog

spk_0 We also announced today that Game Pass now has more than 25 million subscribers

spk_0 As always we look forward to continuing to add more value and more great games to Game Pass

spk_0 There's a follow up then here October 13th 2023 the deal closes

spk_0 Microsoft just bought Activision Blizzard for 69 billion dollars

spk_0 This is the one the only WIP and IGN that's Wesley and Poole Tim. Yes, it is

spk_0 It's official Microsoft is bought Activision Blizzard for an incredible 69 billion dollars

spk_0 The biggest buyout in video game history and one fell swoop expands Xbox's first party offering to encompass everything from Call of Duty to World of Warcraft

spk_0 Upon close we will offer as many Activision Blizzard games as we can with an Xbox Game Pass and PC Game Pass

spk_0 How you think they do with their bus? Yeah

spk_0 You enjoyed playing Transformers War for CyberTradHounder

spk_0 Not yet one day one day one day they can they can

spk_0 Their hands are tied

spk_0 You know licensing and technology is tough for the licenses that they don't wholly own

spk_0 That it is actually like quite complicated, but yeah, they could be doing a lot more than much like a lot a lot

spk_0 Like the most more. Yes correct. That's one thing for sure

spk_0 And yeah, this being the biggest story absolutely right? I mean this story for over a year

spk_0 Yeah, it's like we we cover things all the time at Nazim as you saw really with the layoffs and which just acquisitions as a whole

spk_0 But there's been other themes they're spending the NFTs. Is that what they are? Yeah, the NFT

spk_0 Thank God

spk_0 We didn't even worry about it anymore. Yeah, the NFT stuff like there's always things that we like trends of games daily new stories

spk_0 But like Xbox acquiring Activision. I think is the single most covered story, you know, I like this thing like the amount of times that we covered

spk_0 This one events and the court cases and the fallout and the layoffs and the studio closure leaks from the court cases

spk_0 The documents that came out of the court case

spk_0 They didn't even have to reveal it there with their way there's like I fuck we put up the wrong picture

spk_0 We forgot to redact my bad oops

spk_0 Well, now you know about the next doom game in a bunch of other games

spk_0 Yeah, and again, you know to your point it's still ongoing. We're still talking you know today's games daily was all about Xbox and what happens

spk_0 The future because of this and the $300 million loss because of this like it's crazy to look here now and be able to look at the ripples and where we are now

spk_0 And how it's just continues to happen yeah in retrospect

spk_0 How do we feel about the way that we have covered it right be a between games daily and gamescast

spk_0 I was streaming yesterday and there was somebody in chat that I was like oh yeah red it's talking about how y'all were wrong about the

spk_0 Acquisition and I was like I remember us being skeptical about the acquisition

spk_0 I'm wrong about what it's such a juggernaut of a story and a deal like there's so many parts to be right or wrong

spk_0 Yeah, you know how it is whenever you say anything on any of these shows

spk_0 You can talk for 30 minutes

spk_0 But that one sentence that pisses somebody off is how you feel and I would think that

spk_0 If I'm remembering correctly it was a lot of like hey a lot of times video consolidation is bad

spk_0 But fill in the team over there are

spk_0 Gamers and they try they have done a lot of gamer first decisions

spk_0 So hopefully that would carry over here, but it was you know hopefully and yeah as we've talked throughout this episode

spk_0 Like it isn't necessarily shaking up that way as now again

spk_0 I would say like you did Tim from on high screws are being tightened of like make fucking money off this why are we losing money

spk_0 Yeah, it all comes down to having a vision that you're able to see through and I think that the vision was clear

spk_0 Yeah, we'll just acquire the biggest third party that there is with literally the biggest IP and biggest games in the games industry and

spk_0 profit and for that all the lineup

spk_0 Everything had to go right and so few things went right so yeah with where I had now it is definitely not a surprise and being able to cover this on the show like daily and update and things change and see how the

spk_0 the entire

spk_0 Sector of Xbox whether it's hardware software like

spk_0 Ecosystems all that stuff like how that changes over time like it's very interesting and like there's been so much shift

spk_0 With Xbox specifically and yeah, they were just unruly. It's just unmanageable at this point and we're seeing the

spk_0 repercussions that I think I like big five before it goes

spk_0 I'll admit. I'll always remember blessing saying just let them buy it so we don't have to cover this anymore

spk_0 I don't remember saying that but

spk_0 Again, it was like a throw like oh my god sick of talking about this

spk_0 Like any old days when Andrea got so mad when we update pub g numbers. So I get it. It's still the biggest game stop

spk_0 It was just like the same story over and over again

spk_0 At least the Xbox stuff had like interesting stuff that was getting revealed from like the court case

spk_0 Who's like seasons of TV with Xbox stuff whereas like okay? This new, but it's the same kind of thing

spk_0 I also think like the scariest, but also I think something that I really like about covering

spk_0 Big news on kg

spk_0 The scariest thing is

spk_0 Covering something that's so unprecedented where it is people expect us to get things right all the time right

spk_0 I maybe people expect us to be done most most of the time

spk_0 But like long time fans do when

spk_0 Microsoft buys Activision Blizzard

spk_0 There's only so much we can do to speculate and talk about what's gonna happen in talk like that's something that's

spk_0 That's one of the biggest things to happen in video games period

spk_0 And so realistically we don't know what's going to happen right? We don't know what this looks like five years down the line

spk_0 And I think for me when I look back at the ways we talk about things in the ways that we I think grow in our coverage and

spk_0 See new information come in and like take that and apply that to the way we talk about things

spk_0 I think we do a genuinely phenomenal job at it

spk_0 I think like the day-to-day coverage of kg which is something that we uniquely provide

spk_0 To such like you know with such depth because we're doing an hour podcast every single day

spk_0 We get into the weeds in a way that I think few other people can and I'm for me. I'll say I'm proud of us

spk_0 The way that we covered 100% no you should be blessed and obviously if people don't know I've we're talking about this episode

spk_0 How much work you put into it alongside Roger obviously on the daily right your job is building games daily

spk_0 Even when you're not on games daily you're building games daily

spk_0 And I think that's done so well to give the show a narrative backbone

spk_0 Where we're able to reference stuff and you're able to put it together and it's host come in and then have that

spk_0 Okay, cool. I can just react rather than be worried about building it in the last five seconds before I get out here

spk_0 Right like you're able to keep that going and I think you know

spk_0 We've all talked about it and had those our own little interactions

spk_0 But when you go to someone else's podcast or you bring someone from another podcast on here and like oh

spk_0 Okay, we talk about games in a different way than many people not everybody by stretch the imagination

spk_0 But I know we've gone and done guest appearances where it's like we're referencing and talking about the thing

spk_0 And I like oh whoa they weren't ready for that. I don't want ready for that idea

spk_0 And those are the three biggest news stories of two thousand episodes everybody

spk_0 Are you guys surprised is there any story that you you feel because like my

spk_0 The E3 when I never would have thought enough people would get who to fight a vote for the story that I thought was missing was

spk_0 Epic games versus Apple

spk_0 Oh, yeah, that was also on one of those stories that we just kept covering over and over and over and over and over again

spk_0 And you know, maybe we'll talk more about it later on but like how that kind of kicked off with epic pulling Fortnite from

spk_0 The app store like from iOS which was like

spk_0 What why why would you do that? Yeah, I don't think there's a story to center this one around

spk_0 But I think the saga of like the loopbox

spk_0 Lubox stuff going on and I think 2018

spk_0 Uh Star Wars Battlefront 2 being like I think the big one around it

spk_0 I remember listening okay, actually every single day and it felt like there was always something new about loop boxes

spk_0 And then maybe being you know litigated or like

spk_0 The people being up in arms about Star Wars and all that shit that felt like such a big story at that time

spk_0 One that I was surprised by but maybe it was just too slow of a role to for people to think of it as one story was

spk_0 The death of e3 over the those two years right like that such a big shift on how people

spk_0 Consume like big information in the middle of the summer

spk_0 Um, so yeah, I was surprised that one didn't make it

spk_0 Yeah, and I thought about it earlier today, but uh the game pass news like that legitimately yeah

spk_0 I we will see in our feeling now

spk_0 Will forever see the ramifications of those decisions and how that changed the way people

spk_0 Proceed the value of a video game and as games themselves are going up to $70 $80. It's like oh man

spk_0 You the debt you can't put the genie back in the bottle yep the same way that

spk_0 Napster and then iTunes completely changed the music industry and streaming services have changed the movie industry

spk_0 Game pass is changing the gaming industry and I don't think it's a good thing. Yeah

spk_0 I got really shocked to not see um

spk_0 Snoop dogs amazon luna video game. Oh, yeah, well the pull went up before that

spk_0 Andy while we have you want to give us an update of course we're trying to get two thousand superchats here in our two thousand

spk_0 Episodes they can be 99 cents don't worry about it

spk_0 If all four thousand if you did it right now we'd be done. We just stop talking about it. We'd send any home

spk_0 Uh, of course though Andy how many have we had so far over on youtube.com such kind of funny games or you can super chat right now

spk_0 He just buys toiletries at the airport or hotel you know the hotel will give you most toiletries for free

spk_0 You have to ask the front down

spk_0 They're the good ones are not in the room, but you can get like a razor

spk_0 Toothpaste toothbrush and get that from the front desk at most hotel. She's putting me on thanks Andrew

spk_0 I'm not here to help you by the way. All we do all we fucking love to do of course is call out

spk_0 Snowbike Mike right and like every stupid thing he's ever done

spk_0 There was a classic instant classic today where Mike uh when Mike walked in and Andrew was here

spk_0 Andrew oh I got so many questions. I mean I want to talk to you so bad

spk_0 And Andrew goes you have my number why did you ever text me?

spk_0 Greg I got one here I want to ask you about this is another one from the forum somebody wrote in says

spk_0 I went asking what the what the biggest story in k-d history is

spk_0 PSX being canceled wall k-sht's live on air and Greg committing to a kf games showcase immediately

spk_0 Do you remember that I do of course? Yeah, that was a big deal for us

spk_0 As you all know as I've said many a time

spk_0 Kind of funny in general very influenced by professional wrestling

spk_0 So there's a lot of k-fabe. What do you know? What do you don't know? I had known PSX wasn't happening

spk_0 And so there had been background and I by like maybe a week or maybe a couple days that it wasn't gonna happen

spk_0 And so there had been back channeling with me in Tim of like this isn't happening

spk_0 And I have an idea that if it's not happening we should jump on this and do a December showcase for these indies that

spk_0 That was always the best part of PSX when I think of PSX especially the first one in Vegas right

spk_0 I remember so well

spk_0 Running around and like that they were giving out those trade of the playing cards with games on them

spk_0 And I remember talking to the team at drink box who were showing severed on Vita and how they were just getting

spk_0 Showered with love for their little Vita game that nobody else would like really care about in a grand sense

spk_0 Right and it was that idea of that if that platform for getting indie games to people is going away

spk_0 I wanted to try to step up and do it and now obviously there's so many amazing showcases that we leave limit ourselves to our mixed stuff

spk_0 Usually at GDC and yet yeah, and then on top of that too

spk_0 It's like that time was so special because in the same way that now even we still think of that that summer game fest week

spk_0 You know like the all the different events that are happening around the same time and before it was even clearer with E3

spk_0 But there was for a long stretch of time this like seconds

spk_0 Energy of the year in December the first week of December we got PSX and we got game awards and I feel like PSX was

spk_0 Kind of that hit her miss in terms of the big giant announcements

spk_0 But they often were there like when you think about last of us two being announced and like some major major things at

spk_0 PSX uncharted before gameplay like all that

spk_0 But it was the indie games. They was the like the smallest titles. I think that specifically on the show floor

spk_0 So yeah, that was losing PSX was a bummer in a lot of ways

spk_0 But I do think having that playstation and then game awards. I don't even remember the order of it

spk_0 But like that was so special at all. Yeah, yeah, so yeah, I was super happy to be able to do that again

spk_0 It was one of those that like

spk_0 I'm happy we had the runway because I would have had the same thought if it happened live

spk_0 But it would have been that like well fuck can't we do that are we committed to that so it was a good moment cool

spk_0 I also remember

spk_0 One of my sort of memories that I it's always just sort of instilled in my brain is sitting by my computer while y'all wrong games daily

spk_0 And more and more news kept coming out about EA maybe or e3 maybe not happening because of covid. Oh, yeah

spk_0 Oh, yeah, so many like all right

spk_0 This publisher is pulling out this poet and it's like oh wow

spk_0 This thing started to kind of feel more real than we thought it was 100 and that was like

spk_0 Maybe I think a week later. We were already working by home by then yeah, because we're like let's you know

spk_0 Let's take advantage of it. Let's go home a work or a week early. Yeah, and then everybody

spk_0 And that we'll be back soon. Yeah, covid's actually an interesting one for not popping up there

spk_0 And it's I think we've just blacked it out. I think we're still in like the inertia of the trauma of it all because it started really with

spk_0 PlayStation pulling out of paxies. Yep

spk_0 That was like that was the story that kind of like was the first domino

spk_0 And I just like when I think back to that time personally, I was just like I was just angry and sad and

spk_0 Confused and like it can't be real. That's camp that's can't be happening

spk_0 The game's dial daily thread. I would give would be to Gary because I remember every episode Gary was on

spk_0 It's like it's gonna be bad like it was like such even when we weren't even putting into game news yet

spk_0 And then yeah for px. X happened. I remember then yeah when I went and did

spk_0 In February where I went and did dice wards and I remember them being like at rehearsal

spk_0 I mean like all these international people aren't coming and I was like why not because that oh okay

spk_0 Yeah, they're oh interesting that they're that worried about it and then it was played stationly we packed these and then yeah the whole

spk_0 Think falling apart

spk_0 Going back real quick to the number one story we have the Xbox requires Activision. I'll never forget

spk_0 Gia waking me up at like I was in bed. She wakes me up and she goes you have to get online

spk_0 Something's happening

spk_0 And she's like I don't understand but like everyone's freaking out like I think this is important and I look at like

spk_0 Xbox is a query

spk_0 Oh

spk_0 It's time to move on to our next segment of this jam packed kind of funny games daily

spk_0 2000th episode. It's called former KF GD host clip. Bless. What are we getting into?

spk_0 Well, we just have we have a clip to watch a fun clip to watch so bear it go and roll it

spk_0 What's up everybody and welcome the kind of funny games daily

spk_0 Which is what I wouldn't be saying if I were hosting KFGD today

spk_0 But I'm mostly just here to say

spk_0 KFGD was a hell of a time call it you from the magical land of Canada and reminiscing on kind of funny history as we look forward to the two

spk_0 I was an episode of this ridiculous endeavor. Hey kind of funny. It's your boy Danny. What do I hear?

spk_0 The Irish cream is Greg often like to call me. What's good everybody? Andrew Renee here

spk_0 Congrats kind of funny on

spk_0 2000 episodes of games daily and Garcia here a K game honestess and I just want to say congratulations to

spk_0 2000 episodes KFGD holy cow what an accomplishment. Hello, I'm Gary wetter and I've been asked to record a short message in recognition of kind of funny games daily

spk_0 2000th episode

spk_0 I've been a fan of everything that kind of funny has done over the years

spk_0 So to actually be invited to be a co-host on KFGD was quite the honor and no idea what I was doing

spk_0 I was super nervous but everyone on the team they were just super welcoming

spk_0 They made it very easy to be a part of this and you know

spk_0 I've been forever grateful and thankful to just be a part of the kind of funny family and since that first appearance

spk_0 I've actually hosted kind of funny games daily

spk_0 You know both remote and in studio and thank you for the time that you gave me the opportunity gave me to spend hosting kind of funny games

spk_0 It was some of the best time I had with you guys and it really helped me kind of

spk_0 hone in on a lot of my presenting as well and helped me get through a tricky period of time

spk_0 Where everyone's isolated I felt more connected than ever to the kind of funny community

spk_0 And I owe that all to you guys so I really really appreciate it

spk_0 I was lucky enough to be paired up with the wonderful Andrea Renee for that whole period

spk_0 I went I first started coming over

spk_0 I don't know why but I had it in my head that I was being brought in as like the sort of the the color commentator

spk_0 Like I was there to sort of

spk_0 And keep the you know give my opinion and keep the conversation rolling and not necessarily be the person who would like research

spk_0 The show and it took me a while to realize that I was basically turning up

spk_0 And uh on the day, you know, I fly I drive over from Oakland to San Francisco take like you know best part of 45 minutes to get there

spk_0 And on the way I'd be like thinking about new stories and all that sort of stuff

spk_0 But then when they get there Andrea had obviously done all the work to put together this

spk_0 And this really you know well researched and thought out

spk_0 And uh list of new stories to cover and so I think in retrospect

spk_0 I don't think at the moment I was so busy with like no clip stuff and doing this never anything else

spk_0 In retrospect I go back and go I was just super lazy and then Andrea was doing all of the work

spk_0 If you remember

spk_0 July 11th 2019

spk_0 I'm very specific date that I just rewatched this episode

spk_0 To remind myself how funny it was I sure did

spk_0 It's called setting up an Nintendo Switch Lite lifestyle and if y'all know what I'm talking about

spk_0 It's that famous whiteboard moment where

spk_0 Greg gets a whiteboard from Kevin to explain to me a listener question a situation about having a switch light and a

spk_0 Regular switch one as a primary one as a secondary one in a doc permanently and one that you take on the go

spk_0 And there was just a component of the explanation missing and I was just not getting it and Kevin was losing his mind

spk_0 Wait, so are you insinuating that you would put the switch light in the doc?

spk_0 No, why are you saying that?

spk_0 We as Hells and producers are putting together this show but allowing space for those moments of

spk_0 hilarity or sincerity whatever the moment calls for to just come about naturally

spk_0 And that's what makes kind of funny so special. I loved hosting that to funny and having an opportunity to be a part of this community

spk_0 I love some of the most memorable moments we've had but as much as I love being behind the desk with Gary

spk_0 Making fun of printers or trying to annoy Greg

spk_0 But I always really really appreciated more than that. What's this stuff you never saw?

spk_0 The stuff in the back room of the office would just sit and banter and come up with ideas and laugh or

spk_0 The backstage at one of the events where Tim would walk up and give you that patented giant super Tim hug

spk_0 If these are the things that meant so much to me kind of feeling was the best job I ever had

spk_0 And of course like all luminaries

spk_0 I took that job and then decided to leave to go work on stadium

spk_0 So you know great judgment on my part 15 years ago kind of funny was barely a glimmer in a young Greg Milazai

spk_0 As he toiled thanklessly in the salt mines of IGN

spk_0 Then I catapulted into global recognition by telling him to not touch my knee

spk_0 Giving him the confidence to strike out on his own

spk_0 You're welcome Greg kind of funny as grown into a media empire that now straddles the video games industry like a colossus

spk_0 And in that time I've grown to become close personal friends with Greg, Tim, Nick, Blessing and the other ones

spk_0 Congratulations on 2000 episodes here's to 2000 more and maybe just maybe I'll host again

spk_0 Has to a thousand more episodes of kind of fun in games there. Love you guys have two thousand more episodes kfgd

spk_0 Then a great running congrats on 2000 episodes keep crushing it here's to another 2000. Here's to another decade. I miss you. I love you

spk_0 Here's to you

spk_0 Anyway, congratulations kind of funny on the 2000th episode of games daily. You can probably stop now right you've made your point

spk_0 Gary is a lot. There's a lot a lot of pen up frustration

spk_0 Chats in for Gary. I'll read them. Did you wash those super those berries? Oh, yeah sure no

spk_0 Mike what do you think

spk_0 The early 2000 shirt Gary is one yeah, I saw people popping off. They didn't know that was happening because there's so much packed in

spk_0 That's the kind of funny dot com slash story you can pick up your kind of funny games

spk_0 2000 shirt and some throwbacks. I can still see the n64 box right now Greg

spk_0 I know it's from

spk_0 Yeah, the millennial none of them. Lenny and vibes are very present

spk_0 It's just such a great homage to one of the best wrestling games of all time. I'm happy with it

spk_0 I mean this kind of aesthetic was very popular around the late night everything was told

spk_0 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly

spk_0 I'm speaking of the late 90s in the early 2000s

spk_0 We have a special segment called KFGD 2000 in celebration of 2000 episodes

spk_0 We're going to talk about the biggest new stories from every year since the year 2000 all the way up to 2017

spk_0 When kind of funny games daily began

spk_0 Also when I started in the industry

spk_0 Well, that was one of the things when we were doing the walkthrough in the audience uh and we talked one in the blessing

spk_0 Was like I'll leave and then Fran and Gary come out because the old heads love some good things to say

spk_0 Yeah, I can remember that far

spk_0 Damn damn that hurts. I don't like that one bit

spk_0 Before we start this Greg, please can we make a disclaimer since I already can

spk_0 Read the comments in my mind coming in

spk_0 Oh, you can read them on that big screen as well

spk_0 I mean like the people who watch it off the fact who aren't live

spk_0 I feel like the people who are watching live are the kinder nicer

spk_0 Of course, they're the best friends. They're super chatting right now. This list

spk_0 Was compiled by

spk_0 Roger and blessing. I don't know blessing right Roger and blessing. I would say um share the blame share the blame

spk_0 Someone who was barely alive for half of this list

spk_0 And I look at some of these stories and go

spk_0 Probably wouldn't have been my pick

spk_0 Slow newsier

spk_0 Slow newsier what are you gonna do? You know, I don't oh god here he comes

spk_0 Gary got a shoot now to you. I like it

spk_0 First of all is born in 1994. All right. This list starts at 2000. All six years old when this list started blessing

spk_0 Yeah, I remember this stuff happening

spk_0 That's what but that's why we have you guys on the panel and this is also super chat territory

spk_0 Super chat time and what do we got for super chat? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no

spk_0 I'm saying if they don't agree with the year

spk_0 Super chat with your own

spk_0 There's a lot of work to go and pull all these stories so

spk_0 You know, y'all say most of the work was Wikipedia and a lot of other wikis and so right my research

spk_0 I did stuff cool. I'm diligent. I'm loving heaven trying to line up the perspective

spk_0 I see what he's doing

spk_0 I see what he's doing. I love it. I love it. But like it's like this is such traditional

spk_0 Why like Barrett had it a second ago picture in picture?

spk_0 He didn't explain how it works now

spk_0 He didn't explain how it's you go out there you ask

spk_0 I'm not in any way. I'm not in any way

spk_0 An audio video expert. I look at all the equipment that Kevin has in there and I just like this looks like mission control

spk_0 I've no idea what's going on

spk_0 But I do suspect that the best time to change and fill with your video and audio settings is not when you are going life to air

spk_0 There'd be no I mean, I mean maybe I'm wrong. You're not wrong Gary

spk_0 There's no better way to do it kind of funny. It's the only way we know how to do it some would say

spk_0 All right, let's dive in then all right. We're starting at the year 2000

spk_0 Play the puppy

spk_0 The PlayStation 2 is first released in Japan on March 4th 2000 followed by North America on October 26th in Europe on November 25

spk_0 I remember it well

spk_0 Transformative in other

spk_0 I'll give you the whole snapshot. They made you here. Okay. In other news

spk_0 Microsoft acquired bungee and Nintendo sells its 100th millionth Game Boy slash Game Boy Color hand held game console

spk_0 That doesn't surprise me franables

spk_0 You remember the PlayStation 2

spk_0 Yeah

spk_0 Yes, I do a real system. You know, I mean

spk_0 That's how I selling house in the handle didn't need to handle didn't mean didn't need tiny discs

spk_0 Could play DVD movies. All right

spk_0 Mm-hmm could play great games. So you're putting down game kids. I am. I'm shitting on what you love. Yes

spk_0 With this brings me back to more than anything is this was the exact feeling and culture in the ijana offices

spk_0 Which was every it was all like we had the fanboy wars more than ever back then

spk_0 It's amazing to see how they've transformed it today

spk_0 But back then it was like Nintendo's for babies

spk_0 You don't need your little purse which they refer into the GameCube as like the purse and I had the little hand line

spk_0 Yeah handles dope. The handle was like

spk_0 So weird because I I don't think they ever fully explained why it's on there

spk_0 It's not that haunt to carry without one, you know

spk_0 But you're gonna take it over to your friend's place

spk_0 But no, but for real like the PlayStation coming out

spk_0 That you I mean that's the PlayStation 2 that is yeah insane. Yeah, that was like at the time

spk_0 I mean it's just transformative as first word. I would think of what about you guys

spk_0 Yeah, I mean it's one of the most innovative

spk_0 Iconic and important consoles ever created

spk_0 Yeah, I mean for me

spk_0 Obviously I've talked about it a lot, but like this was I feel the

spk_0 Moment I became an adult gamer like up. This is the first console. I over I was gonna

spk_0 I'm like I'm going to buy this with my own money. I at launch ready to go. It's not a Christmas gift

spk_0 It's not a birthday gift

spk_0 You know, I work the summer job soul crushingly a Walmart and on my lunch breaks

spk_0 I would go next store to Best Buy and buy DVDs and then read the DVDs and like I there's a first DVD player

spk_0 I house ever had so I'm buying ghost busters. That's right. It was it was the guy white to DVDs for a lot of people reading all these extras

spk_0 Mall rats

spk_0 What am I gonna and I got already watched some of these extras at my friends house

spk_0 But I was like I'm gonna do this here and then you had to go camp out at Meyer, which is a giant supermarket Walmart

spk_0 He kind of thing camp out in their electronics department for nine hours on my camping chair reading my EGM cover to cover over and over again

spk_0 And finally get that gorgeous blue box come home. That's what it was just a just a plain blue box

spk_0 I like that a lot of confidence in that design exactly bring it to college. You just be the coolest nerd there was

spk_0 I Gary you're heavily into PC at this point right? You you're just addicted to this devil. I I'm agn

spk_0 I'm all I don't

spk_0 You know just discriminate I play every I go with a game

spk_0 So I'm fortunate enough to have all the systems including a decent PC. So I'll play

spk_0 Sometimes, you know a game comes out and it's on multiple platforms. You've got to figure out like where I'm talking about would you be most

spk_0 For two were you

spk_0 Well, I would I so 2000 was my last year on

spk_0 As editor chief of PC gamer that was the year that I left. Yeah, I see from 96 to 2000

spk_0 So yeah, I the late 90s PC gaming is still I think one of the most

spk_0 Bertile nostalgia gardens that you can if you if you like retro stuff

spk_0 And you like to think about the good old days of gaming for a certain generation of us that mid 90s PCs and those games are still

spk_0 Brilliant, I love every love I don't want to go play and play many more they look shit now. Yeah

spk_0 Yeah, but they look they look pretty great did PS2 do anything for you did you pay no? I so at that no at that point

spk_0 They just kind of stupid there's like I was

spk_0 When I was at a PC game, we had next generation magazine right next door and those were the those were the console guys

spk_0 And we had the PSU we had this like bullshit fake rival room. We like joke about consoles and stuff

spk_0 But like when super Mario 64 came in you better believe we were all over there going what the shit

spk_0 You know, like it's really cool, but then they all came over when we had half life too

spk_0 Yeah, so no the original half life. So um

spk_0 Yeah, I didn't I didn't I had a game cube. I didn't have a place. I did have a PlayStation 2

spk_0 But I didn't really play it very much. Yeah

spk_0 Um, I was a dreamcast guy. Don't forget the dreamcast was really a year old at that dreamcast

spk_0 We're coming up on you don't worry about yeah

spk_0 Yeah, yeah, so that's that to me is still that's where my love and affection is is the dreamcast friend

spk_0 Were you at I giant at launch of PlayStation 2? No, that was in Mars. You said yeah, so no it wasn't it well

spk_0 No October would have been US US launch

spk_0 God, I guess I was yeah, which it was you remember that because I it's another jump of like

spk_0 November 24th because remember when they used to launch the stuff like right at black Friday

spk_0 Yeah, well no thermaco's October 26th never forget October 26th, 2000 Andy

spk_0 I got my PlayStation 2 October 26th 2001 rush the field when azubi cans a snow big deal

spk_0 Got on the poster and everything

spk_0 But no short, I guess I was there

spk_0 There was like my third month there and you know how it is starting at IGN and like yeah

spk_0 It was so like such a blur. It was overwhelming

spk_0 It was also in the middle of like the dot com, you know burst with the explain. Yeah, oh my god

spk_0 It's a bad time. Yeah, burst now. Yeah, but like the offices were insane

spk_0 It was like wolf of Wall Street in there. I'm not kidding like it was just like

spk_0 Everybody was running around like because the sales side was the other side. Yeah

spk_0 Wolves of Wall Street

spk_0 I thought you just meant like the debauchery that you guys would have been doing in your area

spk_0 Well, that was happening to not to not I'm telling it was nuts back then

spk_0 But that being said it was such chaos and I remember we moved offices too that somehow

spk_0 I'm like I don't remember

spk_0 That moment and I remember all the other console launch. I'm like how did I not remember this?

spk_0 So what's the weird one even for me of being at IGN through so many pivotal moments, but like

spk_0 I remember a console launch is varying so drastically where I remember the Wii U obviously

spk_0 No one cared about it and Charles went out on a run and then like ran by saw like there was a line of four people

spk_0 Just bought one on that. Yeah, why wait wait

spk_0 Wii U PlayStation 4 though. I remember with remember we did that giant unboxing friend where everybody got there's delivered

spk_0 So like suddenly there was like 29 Amazon packages of PlayStation 4 is we unbox them on the launch room

spk_0 Yeah, but of course even like GameCube launched the next year, you know, I mean granted that's what I was covering

spk_0 I guess that's probably what it is also yeah, I know like my topic on like GameCube Nintendo

spk_0 Everything was like that's all I was focused on yeah

spk_0 But I cut you off where you said well, I was gonna say

spk_0 Actually the point I was gonna make was really go nowhere, but um

spk_0 I love a good console launch and I feel like you know as the market kind of contracts and console generations last longer

spk_0 They're becoming fewer and and farther between which I guess is a shame, but you know, yeah

spk_0 They also I mean this is that now it's such a

spk_0 I would say impersonal private thing right as we go to okay

spk_0 Well the PlayStation 5's here and most people I think order it offline and you get it and it's a little bit better than your last one

spk_0 Right and then it's now we have the iterations with pros and stuff like that too where it's like oh, okay

spk_0 I guess like it isn't his new bells and whistles. I got him is I don't I actually did stand in line for about three hours for a switch two

spk_0 Yeah, it was apparent that they were gonna be hard to find and I really wanted to switch to I was willing to go stand in line for about three hours at best

spk_0 By and it was fine. It was actually very well

spk_0 It was like the least shit show line I've ever been involved in yeah, but prior to I used to do the midlight launches

spk_0 I the original Wii I recall standing in line me and Bill ropa

spk_0 Camped out overnight at the the Marin best by to get get the Wii. Yeah, and then I've done a couple of other launches as well

spk_0 But I can't do that anymore like I don't you don't miss that do you oh god? No, no, no, I don't much rather come to my door

spk_0 I hate that we're still Sony special Sony why I love service yo

spk_0 I'm gonna go to this Amazon link this link like they all fucking break that's how is that still fucking happening

spk_0 They're trying to get a switch to the dramatic. It's in the card. It's gone with the fuck on my guard

spk_0 Is I the fucking staples and all that shit that

spk_0 I do miss the excitement of being surrounded by the the community of course, but not but not a place well, but like

spk_0 It's like figuratively, but no you actually want those people. No, I don't actually

spk_0 Near other

spk_0 I'm going line. I sense a community. I don't want to like being the same space as people

spk_0 Haha

spk_0 It's like the aura is as broad enough you can sense it, but you don't have to get close enough to smell them

spk_0 So yes, I mean that that is that is the issue fortunately much of these lines are you know in the open air

spk_0 But I do miss it before we move on to 2001

spk_0 I want to give a shot at the 8 bit Louise with a hundred dollars super chat. Thank you for all the last

spk_0 Don't forget a moment here's for two thousand more episodes. I love you all and we love you

spk_0 27 super chats if you all super chat it with one dollar right now we'd be done

spk_0 Is that the cheapest you can do a super chat? Oh, yeah, I don't maybe you can do one cent try give me a

spk_0 Four thousand one's a Gary

spk_0 Interesting and do you at what point?

spk_0 What's the rule at what point do you have to read them out? Oh, we do whatever we want okay?

spk_0 I know in some channels

spk_0 I will if you paid $20 for a super chat like you would expect to have it read out right?

spk_0 Yes, you got you got one a little babies like kebabs. I'm super chanted like four times Greg

spk_0 Shove it kebabs. We're trying yeah kebabs

spk_0 I'd be one of the most red people on

spk_0 Cave G exactly

spk_0 All of the two thousand exactly so I feel like you've got your time kebabs. Thank you very much

spk_0 Andrea I'm heated. I'm to be happy we're going to 2001. There's a 99 cent suit chat right there

spk_0 I'll be legit though kebabs. I like I

spk_0 Haven't seen your name. That's how meant that's how crazy the support is right now

spk_0 And bottom 99 cent one of the company. Yeah, we love shouting out the you know the obviously the die hards

spk_0 That have been here forever, but I have not even seen your name. That's how many I'm probably scrolled by it in a you know in a frenzy

spk_0 2001 the one they've listed here don't get mad at me is Sega goes third party Nintendo ties announced this is IGN

spk_0 Hardware player and giant publisher Sega made the announcement today that everyone in the industry was expecting it to make the company

spk_0 In an official release said it plans to gradually remove itself from the industry as a hardware competitor and instead focus its efforts as a

spk_0 Multi-platform third party publisher

spk_0 Specifically Sega announced its support for Sony's PlayStation 2 and Nintendo's Game Boy Advance handheld

spk_0 The firm also confirmed that it that in an effort to accelerate the transition from hardware manufacturer to third party publisher

spk_0 It would drop the price of its dream cast console to 99 dollars effective February 4th

spk_0 2001 incidentally the same price that Nintendo 64 retails for now in other news three major video game systems were released in

spk_0 2001 the GameCube and the Game Boy Advance by Nintendo and the Xbox by Microsoft

spk_0 Fran

spk_0 Sega going third party. Yeah, you remember that day. What's that?

spk_0 I remember that absolutely. I remember that day. It's funny

spk_0 I remember so much about the dreamcast too because I was so hyped about it

spk_0 I'm sure Hillary wouldn't shut up about it Hillary of course would not shut up about it

spk_0 He wasn't it but Hillary came later though, right? Yeah, but anyway, I mean it was crazy because it

spk_0 Maybe was one of those first big moments of failure from a hardware vendor

spk_0 Right that he just like it almost right we had the Sega channel dreamcast channel on IGN and all that like you know in the same way

spk_0 Imagine you have someone specializing in coverage here, and it's like we're not doing that anymore

spk_0 Actually, I know you guys were talking about Xbox earlier today. So maybe yeah, there's some parallels here

spk_0 But um, anyway, no, I remember being kind of crazy, but that also immediately it was sort of like okay

spk_0 When are we getting the dreamcast ports on GameCube and Xbox and PlayStation 2 and by the way it was pretty freaking fast

spk_0 Yeah, I mean I was of course a Sega kid. I saw Ghostbusters on the Sega master system did no research because I was

spk_0 Intergaard and Pre-Genergarten my mom and dad bought the game on my bottom

spk_0 I had that coming to 64 that was rough. Yeah, well no, the but the master system was the best version. Oh it was it for

spk_0 Really, I the same game that right they had additions and things. Oh, that was it

spk_0 So it actually was the good one anyways though

spk_0 Then it was like well

spk_0 Sega Genesis came out sonic was cool

spk_0 There was an adapter to put into your Genesis to play your master system stuff

spk_0 So suddenly backwards compatibility. I had a game library and I was there through the Saturn and it was the Saturn that

spk_0 Salted the earth for me that when dreamcast came out and was awesome and I'd go to Target

spk_0 I play crazy taxi after high school

spk_0 It was that thing of like I will not buy this piece of shit because of what you did to satin was there

spk_0 Xbox satin was there Xbox one. Yeah, yeah, exactly. Yeah, you only needed a lot of people and just that was it for me

spk_0 And so this was a sad one into a degree of like

spk_0 This is done for you and I was like they're never coming back

spk_0 We don't have to get into it now maybe I'll just do offline. I go watch a YouTube video

spk_0 So I don't really know what went wrong with the sad as a perfectly capable machine

spk_0 So what was wrong with it? Why didn't people I think was a big part of it?

spk_0 Like it was trapped between right the PlayStation and the PlayStation 2 and that what year was 10 to 64 and 64 of course

spk_0 Yeah, 999 or no, that was

spk_0 Dreamcast wasn't it but it was like later like when was it like 97 or 98?

spk_0 Well, if you remember the big deal the big deal was Dreamcast was 99 so

spk_0 95 94 in Japan 95

spk_0 Okay, there you go. Yeah, five years. It's usually it had a it had a

spk_0 Then it well basically the answer is probably PlayStation right it PlayStation is the answer is completely either launch right yeah exactly

spk_0 Yeah, so that was that was that was I say two questions about the dream car because I could talk about dreamcast all day

spk_0 I love it. I tell you what one my particular memory one thing I was think of it

spk_0 Of course I remember crazy crazy tax it was like I melted that disc. I fell in love with that game is still so good today

spk_0 But I remember the first time that a video game

spk_0 looked

spk_0 Truly next gen to me like whatever that means to you the first was what I was an event

spk_0 It was a dreamcast event and they had NFL 2K running on one is a very first 2K game

spk_0 And it was on dreamcast and I'm from a crossroom going is that is that on TV and I went over there

spk_0 Oh shit. No, that's a game and now we've got to point you look at like E a F

spk_0 C and stuff like that on NBA 2K now. Yeah, it's like you have to look watch for like five minutes to figure it out

spk_0 It's TV or a video game to come that far, but that was the first time I fell oh shit. That's a real leap

spk_0 Yeah, like that looks really good. I mean we talked about it in passing there

spk_0 But like Sega was ahead of the curve for so long and possibly too far because I remember the Sega channel

spk_0 Which was you get the cartridge you plug it into your genesis and then you have the telephone line to your wall

spk_0 And you have this through your cable company a bunch of different Sega games you could play like Netflix

spk_0 Like we talked about now with Game Pass then of course dreamcast being an online system and it was go you know

spk_0 Play head-to-head and do dynasties with your friends and this is like yeah, I think it's a shame

spk_0 I think had it not been coming off the back of the you know

spk_0 I got love the ill world from the satin and then the bad timing because less than a year later Sony would come over and run it over with a truck with a PlayStation 2

spk_0 I think if it if they've just been lucky if the timing or whatever had been more chip for tutors

spk_0 I think Dreamcast on its own merits could have done very well. It was a good machine 100% people are still like

spk_0 There's no fondness for the satin right but people are still a lot of fondness dream so dreamcast

spk_0 Michael

spk_0 2001 Xbox release or Microsoft released the Xbox

spk_0 Special in me

spk_0 You were alive then I was alive and taking a friend I was gaming all the time

spk_0 You know it's funny. We brought up PlayStation 2 and I could go right down the list of all the PlayStation 2 games

spk_0 That meant so much to me and the same goes for Xbox right? I think about links back in the day just

spk_0 I loved a good golf game on the Xbox. Oh

spk_0 That was the first one. Well, you could all take your shots at the same time

spk_0 That was unmodified. That was good. I was gonna say links the time seeker. Oh

spk_0 Yeah, different things we had blinks of course. We had conquer bad for day live and reloaded. Oh, brought it back

spk_0 That was a big deal to me. I just remember some of my good friends mentioning

spk_0 Plasma grenades you know these things and they stick on you

spk_0 I'm like what are they talking about and then finally got to see Halo and

spk_0 Ended up being one of the coolest gifts ever where I was addicted to Halo go to my friend's house all the time playing and

spk_0 And then I was gonna go that summer vacation to go

spk_0 Baby sit my cousins in Austin and I was like I'm gonna go earn money my

spk_0 Uncle and Andrew gonna pay me then I'm gonna come back and buy an Xbox so I could play Halo and my parents said Andy

spk_0 We surprised he was and they they bought me one already the clear green one

spk_0 Halo edition right there. You got that big do controller

spk_0 The introduction of the internet really was at the forefront then with Xbox live

spk_0 Everybody making their own see before that well the land party is Halo

spk_0 I think are one of the true iconic

spk_0 Yes, things of that era of gaming that I remember being in college and having everyone in the dorms

spk_0 And we're like oh, we're like getting together to play Halo and I was like let's Halo because I didn't actually play Halo until reach

spk_0 Even the split-screen color was still a big deal split screen four-player playing wizard on Halo one hang him high

spk_0 That was special times that yeah

spk_0 I am playing one of you won against my brother and we would get a poster board and

spk_0 Oh, yeah, yeah, I played a two-screen board to split the screen we used to do that we used to do that with doing my quite

spk_0 I would stand on the urinal operator so I could see the top of the of my perspective and he'd be underneath watching only

spk_0 That's hilarious

spk_0 Yeah, I was gonna say relevant to both of things we just brought up one

spk_0 I don't know if you guys remember I remember buying the dreamcast being so excited

spk_0 Surprisingly because of Tony ox pro skater to maybe or was it one but I was like it looks so freaking good and had the VGA

spk_0 Output that's how much of a visual nerd I was yeah, but I was like stoked and then I found out how bad the dreamcast controller was

spk_0 I

spk_0 To this day because of that freaking control, but secondly, I was gonna say you nailed it Andrea the Xbox

spk_0 I remember being so stoked because we hooked it up at our apartment land and I remember like

spk_0 Rushing home that night and plugging in land like not having giant PC setups

spk_0 You know like we're just all gonna game together tonight. It was it was so exciting like to me that was Xbox launch

spk_0 I so two things real quick

spk_0 The one thing I actually liked the dreamcast controller. I thought the VMU was actually very cool. Yeah

spk_0 I never understood

spk_0 why the

spk_0 Table that connected to the console came at the bottom of the controller and it's zero sense to me

spk_0 Is then I have to loop under the control like it's obvious. We should go on the top

spk_0 On the Xbox I have a good story about one not really good story, but a story

spk_0 I reviewed the the official

spk_0 Sorry halo the first halo when it launched I after PC gamer. I

spk_0 Briefly was edited to achieve of next generation. I nursed that magazine into its grave

spk_0 It was already kind of more abundant when I got there. It's like just you know

spk_0 Trying to make try and make the patient comfortable kind of thing

spk_0 So I and they say you know halo you know

spk_0 And official official Xbox magazine was launching they had the right to do the official Xbox magazine

spk_0 They asked me to go up there and do it because I guess I was a console man at that point. I was on next gen

spk_0 I was like you send in the wrong guy like I'm a PC guy like I'm gonna like whatever they've done with the controller

spk_0 Like to you know to map those you know

spk_0 I was one of those things but he was to go over to next gen live

spk_0 Yeah, you can't play that on you can't play this kind of games on the control

spk_0 You need a mouse yep, yep, yep

spk_0 And so like that's I'm gonna have a hard time with it

spk_0 You send them on go but they sent me up there and they sent me up

spk_0 You know did the thing went up to redman and they put you in a room with the system and stuff

spk_0 Gave me the big-duke controller which I always liked I don't even have big hands

spk_0 But I like the Duke yeah, I never had a problem with it the black and white buttons over there

spk_0 Yeah, I sleep the biggest

spk_0 Louis I felt like I owned a big hamburger. I liked

spk_0 And so I sat down a little bit kind of on my arms folded like you can't do these kind of games on consoles

spk_0 And like an hour later after doing that first mission

spk_0 Um, I was like oh shit. They they cracked it like it was I'm sure other people will say that there have been

spk_0 Twin stick, you know first person shooters on place on on PlayStation whatever that were good before that

spk_0 But yeah, but like for me halo is the one that like really made it like mainstream accepted. Yeah, but hey

spk_0 Yeah, halo was the one that showed how it could be done. Yeah, I agree

spk_0 Really really yeah, I wasn't missing the mouse after like an hour

spk_0 And now we play all those games on the control or even on you see

spk_0 Shout-out to Goldnive for doing it first, but okay, yeah, but like again, but

spk_0 I'm not saying frequently overlooked because it stills a bonkers control scheme

spk_0 Where it's like halo meeting

spk_0 Everything in the dumb using the sea button the sea button work, but the meaning yeah, I also never got that was still one stick the two

spk_0 Yeah, which is now the default that halo really

spk_0 Someone's gonna say like so calm or kill zone or one of these but I tried all those and none of them ever

spk_0 But I was just saying the mod really the mod I'm saying that I think

spk_0 So golden I think falls into the category Gary and I weren't throwing away of like other people did this and made it work in playable

spk_0 But halo's the one that every went on like oh shit. This is what it's what. Yeah, it was revolutionary

spk_0 Yeah, they did a really I mean they again whether through luck or or skill or whatever. I don't know but they

spk_0 Probably the last time that I game launched with a console that was like I'm like a major

spk_0 System mover right like this like it was a reason to buy the car like halo was the reason why you you got that console at launch

spk_0 And I still remember that you know the first time he sat down with it. I was in that room

spk_0 Oh, it's so epic and the music is so fucking good and you land on that you land on the hell over the first time

spk_0 You see it like arching up and you go. Oh, this is so fucking cool. Like I just I remember having there's so many great moments

spk_0 In the first couple of hours of that game

spk_0 Let's move on as 2002 Microsoft purchases rare for $375 million

spk_0 We just talked about 69 billion for you know, it's like you're crazy to come to these numbers. That was a good purchase in retrospect

spk_0 He then he got they money. Oh, well, yeah

spk_0 For Microsoft. Yeah, I think so for rare and their legacy. No, I think that that was such a

spk_0 We're gonna bring you over here to make Xbox avatars remember that was the big thing

spk_0 They had so many of them working. Oh my god. They made some like that 64 generation is so defined by rare

spk_0 And then to come over here and go. Oh, okay. This is what their legacy will be beyond that

spk_0 We got even a pinata out of it. We did and even pinata is great. Where's another one?

spk_0 Well, that was the other one. It's still to this. You know, I mean

spk_0 Well, you don't think see

spk_0 See you see got there. Yeah, I think that's it took that I should place you things, but here it's toxic

spk_0 I

spk_0 Yeah, there's a lot of toxic people in there's what I what I've heard you're one of them if you go in there

spk_0 You like getting a little toxic. No, you do you mother fuck they've always had a grief problem in that game

spk_0 Yeah, you can play now by the way that you can just get together with friends and not worry about that

spk_0 You've been your herb stage guys. Yeah, I got the big pinata a little slip. Yeah, see you these is awesome

spk_0 When they did the parrots the Caribbean stuff I jumped in there and Mike

spk_0 Mike went and it was great, but to your point when I when Mike wasn't on and I went and played by myself Gary

spk_0 Yeah, it's up to be I remember when a bunch of guys

spk_0 They get attacked a bunch of you guys were playing and I thought like on paper

spk_0 This is the sort of thing that I should enjoy so like I'm gonna face it down and try it

spk_0 Like after months of saying no and I tried to install it and for whatever reason there was like a problem on the install

spk_0 And I was and it was already like on a knife edge

spk_0 You know what fuck I'm not I said I would play but I'm not gonna go to any and this one

spk_0 Yeah, yep, yep, so I may I may missed out on the huge CFE's thing

spk_0 But back to the acquisition way back then because see if thieves were so far from that

spk_0 But what I remember thinking at first was

spk_0 Dang, you know, Nintendo's gonna lose all these great, you know, banjo kazooey. Yeah golden. I

spk_0 Missed another key one in there

spk_0 Speedway no

spk_0 Conquer's bad for it, but they had tons of great stuff before I see pro-end

spk_0 Yeah, actually, that's right. Yeah, all the way back

spk_0 Yeah, and that was before they were even like working hand in hand and you know second part if you want to get really old school

spk_0 Because I'm a Brit you remember the brah used to be a company called ultimate play the game

spk_0 Yeah, and they did and they did mostly games with the Cinclade ZX Spectrum and you know

spk_0 Because it was like a little company in in you know, yeah in the middle of nowhere in England

spk_0 Ashby Delazuch Tim and Chris stampo started ultimate play the game and then they turned they were like during like the eight

spk_0 Bit Spectrum days they were like the like they were like the developer like when when ultimate brahagame everybody paid attention

spk_0 It came in this beautiful packaging

spk_0 There was nothing else like it and they had a mistake around them and then they became rare

spk_0 And I didn't I kind of felt like something got lost even in that moment like the whatever that ultimate

spk_0 Sheen that it had back in the eight-bit days like they did they did amazing stuff on on the Nintendo and some on Xbox as well

spk_0 But I kind of feel like I don't know because I have a very long history going back with like pre-rare rare

spk_0 Yeah, like maybe judge them on a different metric Conquer's bad for it was what I was thinking of obviously is otherwise

spk_0 But anyway, they were crushing it. Nine way my first reaction was like oh man like you know a little bit that

spk_0 Competitiveness we talked about like oh we're gonna lose this to the Xbox you know the Xbox

spk_0 But then like I'm maybe I'm wrong, but I'm like

spk_0 Didn't they just didn't find their footing until

spk_0 When see a thief like so like what happened? I guess a lot of people left

spk_0 I mean we know the time splitter's gang right yeah with some ex-gold knife folks and

spk_0 Just people moved around but they lost an Nintendo like kind of

spk_0 Production is I know that it was gonna be like there in Somniac or there naughty dog right

spk_0 But it never really yeah, that's at that level

spk_0 But that was probably like a Microsoft problem more than it was a rare problem of like they needed to retain a bunch of

spk_0 The right town but also you know if you look at what rare did the best it was like they took Mario

spk_0 And then they made it like awesome in its own way with Banja Kazooie, you know

spk_0 um, and they were just very good at like doing stuff like that like taking Nintendo's ideas frankly

spk_0 And then putting their spin on it

spk_0 Super talented and if you ever leave you looked at rare replay when it came out a while back

spk_0 But they're all that museum creation stuff's actually really well done

spk_0 And that for people who are interested you actually does go back and include all the ultimate stuff like saber wolf and night

spk_0 I had a attack like all those games that were like rare before rare as rare

spk_0 They're all in there rare replays really worth checking out shout out rare is 40th anniversary this year

spk_0 So congratulations to them we still do love you

spk_0 Well, let's see some good stuff to 2003

spk_0 Valve releases their game distribution software steam out of beta at that work

spk_0 Yeah, you want to talk about a game changer right there

spk_0 I would I would fucking love to see their books. Do you know how much money they make more of a scene?

spk_0 Every single game that is sold on steam they get a piece of it

spk_0 Why are we bothering to make games anymore? We don't have why they stopped

spk_0 They're like we don't mean that why do Nintendo and PlayStation do it you get I mean honestly

spk_0 I just gonna sound like a crazy thing but like the video games in just like the president of video goes to come out tomorrow and say

spk_0 You know what?

spk_0 Tide listening to all your horse shit on the message boards you fucking complain about everything

spk_0 We're done. We're taking out ball and going home. No more video games. They're not making anymore games

spk_0 Have fun with the ones we've already made, but there's no more honestly. I'd be fine. Yeah, oh my god

spk_0 Would you stay me for the rest of my life? Yeah, yeah, yeah, 100% yeah, yeah, steam. What an incredible move

spk_0 Brilliant genius either is like I mean, I do remember it

spk_0 Because in the beginning it wasn't it wasn't they transformative

spk_0 I mean that took that was like a slow burn. Yeah, get to where yeah

spk_0 They were because it was really like they as a publishing platform

spk_0 You couldn't as a developer just like go without a relationship with one of the platforms and get your games published

spk_0 I mean the certification process alone was wildly different back then than it is today

spk_0 They hit I mean they innovated a lot of stuff. There's a lot of stuff we take for granted today that we wouldn't have without steam

spk_0 Actually, yeah, I mean Garrett

spk_0 Maybe you remember the specifics now. I think more about it's like oh yeah

spk_0 So if I was just like playing Battlefield 1942 right like I would normally go to the store and buy

spk_0 The the discs right and install it, but you weren't downloading it then that was

spk_0 And then is that's what steam was bringing to the tables that accurate that it was like downloadable

spk_0 Yeah, I mean, I think it was it was a huge step forward in the wait for better or worse

spk_0 Some people would just I really don't care about

spk_0 The physical side

spk_0 You know, we let's I live in a digital world now. I don't want to get a game out of a

spk_0 Yeah, I know, yeah, just that was the game chief

spk_0 But yeah, and we woke up one that one was I Andrew says it crept up and you woke up one morning like steam just dominated

spk_0 Everything and it became always like you know EA and an epic of tried to to set up their own stores

spk_0 One of those have really got any traction. How often do you go to the origin or epic game store not they unless you have to right because the game is exclusive

spk_0 Steam is the stuff weird epic does a great job of trying to compete by giving away games all the time

spk_0 Yeah, it's a you know, and obviously now not just a not just a storefront but like an OS

spk_0 That runs games on on a PC handle better than windows significantly better than windows. Yeah

spk_0 Um the friend system is also very great

spk_0 Friends system is the way that they've integrated mods. I mean like steam has done a really excellent job of

spk_0 updating their platform. No, of course they've had you know some missteps here and there

spk_0 But it really is I think one of the like

spk_0 Top 10 most yeah, we take we we so take it granted like remote play steam link

spk_0 Yeah, um all of that stuff that they you know brought in is I still I used to

spk_0 You steam like all the time. It's great. Steve's a fantastic. Maybe I don't know when that started but

spk_0 But yeah, that's a whole other shit shot. Well, I would have a lot said but meaning that's what I wanted to point out

spk_0 Because like there was no e-shop. There was no like I'm just gonna download, you know metal gear salad

spk_0 Didn't that's not how it worked, but they were at 2003. Yeah, like I'm struggling to even remember that happening

spk_0 Wow, that maybe it's because PC gamers have had

spk_0 His steam, you know, there was a digital storefront in a serious way long before consoles got one now they'll have one

spk_0 Steam was really the first one. Yeah, maybe it's because PC gamers have lived with it for longer

spk_0 But like you don't hear really anyone on the PC side bemoaning the death of physical games right there are no physical games on PC

spk_0 They're gone right go

spk_0 Came in like the big pyramid box

spk_0 Yeah, you used to go these have a special sessions all the boxes were wacky again PC gaming in the 90s

spk_0 Box I'm gonna be cute. We were going the PC game a game library

spk_0 It was like the size of the warehouse from like raised lost out and there's like eight games in there

spk_0 Because we had room for these boxes ridiculous. He would I remember a PC

spk_0 Maybe the 90s PC games is how they were like a big cardboard box. It had like a foldable

spk_0 Yeah, you could open up like

spk_0 But then it would have like a cellophane like clear thing that showed the inside of the box like it's so ridiculous thinking back on all that

spk_0 So it's interesting. There's a big conversation like on the you know right now

spk_0 I think digital is now the lion's share of it

spk_0 But you know physical games are still very much a thing and people on the console side

spk_0 Oh, they don't like the slippery slope the way it's going digital dominate again on the PC side that that

spk_0 That's always been fought on one long time over for a long time. I can't remember the last time I saw a physical PC game

spk_0 I just built a PC recently the idea of like putting a CD or a blu-ray drive in that thing is like what I'm gonna do with that

spk_0 I even use like external ones. Yeah, that's why I got like a $50 blu-ray drive

spk_0 If I wanted to like burn my D I've ripped my DVDs then you know, I plugged that in

spk_0 But like the idea of like a PC tower with a yeah with a with a with a slot and it seems very quaint now

spk_0 I don't think anyone's done that for probably a decade. No, but I mean is it I guess so people are doing them

spk_0 about the death of physical games well

spk_0 You don't have to like imagine the future we're living in it and you can see what it's like. Is it that bad?

spk_0 I don't make like again some people might think so but like I

spk_0 Don't feel like I miss anything from not go into the shelf and getting a box off the shelf and putting a disc in a drive

spk_0 I'm in any cases 18 fucking this I am the biggest

spk_0 Fucking digital guy like I love me too. I don't want it forever. However, I understand the account

spk_0 Arcmitz Gary of like oh, they're taking the game offline. They're removing my license

spk_0 You know servers are me shipping

spk_0 This episode to get into the very

spk_0 I'm just trying to bring stuff

spk_0 In licensing and all like because that's a whole no

spk_0 I mean not to mention this PlayStation 6 gonna be backwards compatible

spk_0 You'd say yes, but maybe it won't be yeah

spk_0 I love downloading stuff 95% of the time like it works fun, but I do like

spk_0 Them being in control of that license and being able to be like sorry

spk_0 We never promised it was gonna always work for you like that is super yeah of course of course, but um

spk_0 I was thinking like PT

spk_0 Imagine that you bought a game at the time that came with a PT demo. Yeah, and like being the point is we should be able to play that PT demo whenever we want

spk_0 Yeah, great example where like that's what that causes

spk_0 Franamo in 2004 the Nintendo DS launches is the first major console of the seventh generation and other news in

spk_0 Nintendo officially announces its revolution later named the Wii console, but before we hop into the year

spk_0 Fran Mirabella, I just want to shout out a massive milestone okay

spk_0 900

spk_0 To the thousand mark and I want to shout out to kebabs who

spk_0 I was able to find one of the cops I got one good stuff my favorite moment is this is snakes as the sponsor

spk_0 Oh, that's good. That's fun. Um, and then also one from AK dot 98 who said birthday tax for my wife Riley

spk_0 Game showdown is one of our favorite things to watch together

spk_0 Well, I'm gonna keep winning it for you. The baker's dozen is made from a baker's dozen 13

spk_0 Hmm, that's what kebabs wrote. I was very frisim a super chastly. We'll go back to

spk_0 Did you launch so did you say 2004 the DS launch as the first major console of the seventh generation a clamshell

spk_0 And then yeah, Nintendo officially announces revolution later names that we and was that the announcement at

spk_0 Tokyo Game Show then because what's really ancient but both of those things

spk_0 And it's still crazy meeting to say I mean I was one of the first people to play both of those things

spk_0 Revolution was one of them at Tokyo Game Show. That's what I remember. Okay. Like co name revolution

spk_0 They secretly you know brought us in this back room and are like

spk_0 You know, they did the Japanese like here

spk_0 Those stand here and then they hand you gingerly like this remote control, you know, and you're like

spk_0 Rick is going on and you know PR's whispering, you know, it's a blue ocean

spk_0 We're gonna do the um, and I'm like you're crazy right now in Nintendo and got

spk_0 That was the one time that I kind of was doubting Nintendo that like they really proved me wrong on that one

spk_0 Well for like two and a half three years so it ran out of steam, but um, but yeah, I mean both of those things were so huge for gaming

spk_0 I think revolution could be a much or we could be a much different discussion seeing kind of like

spk_0 It just was a trend and a fad where DS though

spk_0 Two-screen gaming. There's absolutely was

spk_0 Yeah, yeah, so cool. I mean I look back on it as it was pretty huge year for Nintendo getting away from like trying to figure out how to compete with PlayStation 2

spk_0 Yeah, and basically it's how we arrived at the switch think it might also be together of course absolutely. I think it might be also the beginning of Nintendo's

spk_0 Kind of divergence from the track that everyone else is on right. We were competing with Xbox PlayStation

spk_0 We hope we is the first one. I always think of Nintendo's I think Nintendo's interesting because they're you know

spk_0 Xbox and PlayStation the games are pretty much exactly the same. They're the only ones doing anything different

spk_0 Um, and I think that's where it began because let you say game cube and 64 were basically just boxes that you put a cartridge or a biscuit

spk_0 It was in the same thing

spk_0 Uh, and there was a little innovations in the controllers and things like that game boy in itself

spk_0 Like was a huge deal back in the day, but I think like it was the first time putting because the DS was a massive success right three DS even more so

spk_0 the first time

spk_0 That I think it was the first time that Nintendo demonstrated perhaps even to themselves

spk_0 You could do something really wacky like two screens. What's going on here?

spk_0 One's a touch screen that's bizarre no one ever thought of that and it could still not just be like a niche like gimmick

spk_0 But like a massive success and it was and I think that probably

spk_0 Drowns of the 3ds and as you said the we the we you and now the switch. Yeah

spk_0 Yeah, I mean, it's what if you look at the Wii U and I think everybody gets this you're like this is such a failed

spk_0 combination of like wanting to be the switch but the tech and the price of the tech wasn't there

spk_0 But they were also using the two screen kind of DS method in console for them

spk_0 It's just like it was a failure in the sense of like there was a lot of experimentation that was actually happening like

spk_0 In consumer products like this because the Wii U was

spk_0 Really interesting? Oh, you should hold that toe when we actually talk about when it comes out because you know what

spk_0 Was a massive success from 2004 those missing from this

spk_0 This is half life two

spk_0 Oh, it's a gang okay, nobody cares till the orange box a lot of game

spk_0 Orange box okay orange box. I wouldn't say nobody cares until the orange box

spk_0 What's funny because to be crazy?

spk_0 No, I over the course of my career and writing video game news

spk_0 I have probably done

spk_0 A hundred stories on half life two and I started writing video game news

spk_0 You know probably eight years and not even like six years before

spk_0 You know the um or after the game came out is this like it was just like it just followed me persistently

spk_0 It was still so much half life to still one of the only one of the I mean there's there's a list probably 20 50 games

spk_0 It like one of the but is one of the the true

spk_0 ST alleged dairy games of all time there's no question if I can bring it into weave it into what we're talking about before

spk_0 Steam right I pulled the PC gamers the 19 year evolution of steam right of course they

spk_0 Go 2003 the beginning talking about what it is and isn't but then 2004 colon

spk_0 We all install steam for half life two the release of half life two is arguably the reason

spk_0 Steam is what it is today that's interesting the game's dominance of the store front reflects that

spk_0 Valve is Valve didn't want you to forget to play the universally acclaimed shooter you had to sign up for steam

spk_0 Even if you bought the box at a store

spk_0 It was a landmark moment in the transition from the old model of digital owners

spk_0 Integration right they took their mega game and they forced you to use their store and gave it that that launch to the new one where game licenses are tied to online accounts

spk_0 We had to injure his point like we have more coming up here 2005

spk_0 Microsoft's Xbox 360 Sony's PlayStation 3 and Nintendo's Wii were officially unveiled during or just prior to e3

spk_0 However, only the Xbox 360 was released in 2005

spk_0 Xbox 360 the greatest Xbox generation ever and I still think one of the best consoles regardless of platform

spk_0 Well three red ring. I mean it completely

spk_0 I can't wait to have it online multiplayer like I mean like that console like what they were doing from

spk_0 Like a technological standpoint. Yeah had not been done before the way that you could get into parties and play with friends online and do chat

spk_0 Like I mean that was that was all brand new. You want to talk about yeah things I should do innovation was crazy

spk_0 Yeah, it was huge. I think yeah, I think they try lobby

spk_0 I still remember to this day fucking Jay out loud standing up there and talking about velocity girls

spk_0 Gonna sell you her merch in the Xbox store and all that bullshit that never happened

spk_0 But like no, I mean it's I mean Xbox live arcade. Yeah, you know

spk_0 Xbox Xbox live in itself like all of that shit was I mean you can be we take all this for granted now

spk_0 But these are the these are the systems that I should all of that stuff in

spk_0 PlayStation 3's launch comparatively

spk_0 I was a year later. It was so Xbox 360 was November of 2005 and then 2006 was PlayStation 3

spk_0 Hey, I want to talk about and we and that's what launches fucking

spk_0 Red Racer giant giant enemy crab. Yeah, yeah, it's a damage 599

spk_0 US and what was the

spk_0 The fireworks game

spk_0 You know what we're talking about for PlayStation 3. Oh, yeah, yeah, there was no for two. No, it was two

spk_0 What was the game with the game? Oh, is that you? What was it called?

spk_0 Pantabulous or something? Pantabation. It was that too. Yeah, I fixed the

spk_0 Pantabulous better

spk_0 But but yeah, like going back to it the Xbox being so freaking powerful. Yeah in that moment where you know

spk_0 We're at the tail end of the life site. It was the first like that's HD console right first

spk_0 720p. Yeah, that's right. Oh my god

spk_0 Correct. Why I'm a dreamcast of course, but in terms of where we're going the first Microsoft Sony or Nintendo one to be out of the box

spk_0 I have a ethernet port or an internet port whether it was ethernet was an ethernet pretty 60s start

spk_0 Yeah, out of the box. Oh, and no Xbox had it. I'm totally wrong Xbox the big the big black Xbox out of you

spk_0 Did it or two? It did a modem. Yeah, I'm wrong about that. Which is actually kind of well because yeah like on GameCube

spk_0 You had to like plug it in and buy that same thing with place

spk_0 You have I'm a doctor put that screw it in there back. I remember I'm

spk_0 I'm set at all DVD and

spk_0 So to combine in 2006 here

spk_0 Of course then you would see the release of the PlayStation 3 the release of the Wii they put as Andrea calls out

spk_0 The Los Angeles attorney office sues rock star games to take two and a half story of that year

spk_0 It's just not hot pot coffee. It was I think just in the way. Oh, I'm hot coffee holy shit

spk_0 There's a sex mini game and good GTA that was out that got published that you have to do all these things to get

spk_0 In the file it's a fun little one. I think as somebody who had to grow up in a household where

spk_0 lasers who Larry existed. I was like

spk_0 Okay, yeah, CJ just grinded a ladies in bed who cares let him have his freak, you know

spk_0 It was scandalous though. That's of course, but it was also like yeah you hacked it or you know got into the files on a

spk_0 I mean it was just I still got him told from shells

spk_0 It's still got him that aO rating for a hot sack like it was a big deal in that front

spk_0 But I would argue yeah the launch of these consoles. Yeah, let alone again the success of the Wii

spk_0 How impossible it was to get the Wii for so fucking oh my god

spk_0 I'm actually glad I did that camp out because yeah, you could not find one for like I want to say a year

spk_0 I more than that. Yeah, I remember I I you lined up my mom had come and played it at Thanksgiving

spk_0 And then I had to get out another I got mine in a line then I went got hers in line and I remember me

spk_0 Broadvig and I think Jeff Haynes being a ceremony for a lunch one day

spk_0 I know Jeff wasn't there was me brother. Can somebody else in game claim?

spk_0 It's about yeah probably game stop got the new shipment of weas and immediately people were buying and I called

spk_0 We called the office. Yeah, anyone need them and it was like the in the office show. It's happening

spk_0 Yeah, so many other weas are running into the ball interesting landmark for 2005

spk_0 I was just thinking of sure that was in Hollywood for the Wii launch and I had to work it

spk_0 I think yeah, oh 2006 were coming up to that one. Oh, we've combined and we combine

spk_0 Okay, that's exactly but yeah, I had to work the launch but it also made me think that 2005. That was the year that

spk_0 Well, where's PSP in this mix, but

spk_0 The case we start is five fuck you Gary

spk_0 Video team officially start right and they say hey, do you want to get off of I gene inspired start the video team

spk_0 But then from there on it man

spk_0 I had to work behind the camera at all these launches. Yeah, so I got to go to all the launch vets

spk_0 PlayStation included but I was always like behind the camera. Yeah, what a piece of shit. How many movies did you buy on UMD Greg?

spk_0 Ghostbusters for sure

spk_0 In my in my quest to own every version of Ghostbusters. Oh my god

spk_0 I well, do you remember for me it was I graduated college and was getting me to start my first job

spk_0 And I had like I think a week off in between and so my gift to myself was I bought a PSP hot shots golf open tea

spk_0 Luminesse and Ghostbusters on you

spk_0 Luminesse I'm a luminesse is good. I had that had that good soundtrack. Oh, yeah, we're about shake your bum shake

spk_0 That's what I shop the PlayStation

spk_0 PSP launch and I use luminous music get there. But I did to to score the video that we did

spk_0 A 2007 saw bungee announced it split with Microsoft to become an independent studio in other news

spk_0 Justin tv a website designed specifically video games is launched

spk_0 Just one of the most landmark pieces of news ever because of the big game this little site called twitch.tv

spk_0 It's right a big deal. Who was Justin? I don't know

spk_0 What's Justin's last name? I don't know. I don't know TV. Yeah

spk_0 He's streamed to time. I mean, I forgot he's like he's like sitting on an island in like Bermuda or something

spk_0 Now he's got to be right. I think he consoles now is what it is. Okay, but

spk_0 Uh, that is crazy thing back because twitch didn't come around until

spk_0 I don't know when it became 2011 or 12. Yeah, something like that

spk_0 But just since he v that was pretty huge back down

spk_0 I mean, there was plenty of live streaming out there

spk_0 But I think they were the first ones to really commercialize it right. Yeah, it was even it just wasn't even understood

spk_0 I remember when I remember when rumble was just they don't TV

spk_0 Not familiar. You know rumble. I do know

spk_0 Where I get all my political news

spk_0 I don't know where the jokes. I don't know how to say the joke

spk_0 Is the news site

spk_0 Rumble yeah, you know, family with rumble I definitely

spk_0 All the right like when you get back when you get banned from twitch you go to kick when you get banned from kick

spk_0 You go to get banned from kick. Yeah, you can't believe it or not. It is possible. Yeah. Yes. Okay

spk_0 Number. Oh, sorry 2008 the key story for 2008 was the increased competition between the PlayStation 3 and the Xbox 360

spk_0 This is via npd

spk_0 Starting in January the PlayStation 3 outsold the Xbox 360 by about 40,000 units

spk_0 However, Microsoft said they misjudged demand and struggled to produce supply until late February

spk_0 For the entire year the PlayStation 3 outsold the 365 out of the 12 months

spk_0 With two more months within 5k each other

spk_0 However, the 360 scored the pivotal holiday months in November and December

spk_0 Overall the ps3 experiences of substantial growth from 2007

spk_0 The we and Nintendo DS were the top two sellers we still suffering from supply issues shifted record breaking units month after month

spk_0 You think there was a point either in reality or just in perception

spk_0 Because it feels like in retrospect it kind of feels this way that like where Xbox 360 because Xbox 360 was a terrific

spk_0 generation yeah for Microsoft right there's probably the the best Xbox for its time

spk_0 And then I'm PlayStation 3 kind of stumbled a bit right to

spk_0 They struggled with games no games. I didn't work as a weapon. Was there ever a point where where you kind of felt like they were actually at parity

spk_0 Do you think because the go obviously the the the narrative I've always like so he's always been ahead like something like and currently like way ahead

spk_0 But for that point almost like they were kind of neck and neck for a bit

spk_0 I don't know about the actual sales, but I would say from a

spk_0 Three ends up I'm even just like mine ship like the narrative was very favorable to Microsoft

spk_0 I was gonna say I think the bigger thing is that Xbox 360 won the mine share yeah

spk_0 Where like you go to the airport and they're like take your console out of your bag and they showed a 360

spk_0 And I know that's a goofy thing. No, that's the kind of stuff

spk_0 It was the excitement of that of Xbox live of a headset packed in of talking to your friends and friends listen blades like

spk_0 There was a juice there that even with ps3 catching up and surpassing in the end

spk_0 I don't think you were ever able to get out from behind that shadow and then the halos and all these other things that were happening

spk_0 Maybe but we have to remember it. I mean can't could be misremembering, but Japan market. Yeah, of course

spk_0 It was very like Microsoft. They've always struggled there. Yeah, so like big you might think that way here in the western audience

spk_0 Yeah, 100% and that's how we saw it

spk_0 But it was like oh, but the reality was everybody was just buying PlayStation 3 and Final Fantasy in Japan

spk_0 And Dragon Quest, of course. Yeah, so the 360 was

spk_0 MTV it was a leisure wood like it had this

spk_0 It was yeah, you know, that's what I think of and I I think that that's what

spk_0 Their marketing machine was in overdrive. Yeah, I think that's what rock we think of them is like dominating that yeah

spk_0 No, the rock. Yeah, but they did dominate that. Yeah, for sure

spk_0 I mean they absolutely did they did and again

spk_0 They capitalize on the fact that Sony had kind of a dud generation with ps3

spk_0 I mean there are some memorable games appear, but I remember not having a great launch line up

spk_0 It's the launch line of that does them. The end of the ps3 life cycle was a banger though

spk_0 And that and honestly that was the time to hit right they hit that and then PlayStation

spk_0 For is the result of we fucked up these PlayStation 3 things

spk_0 We're not gonna fuck that up again

spk_0 And that's when Xbox went we're gonna fuck this up royally with the Xbox one

spk_0 And like Microsoft finally hit its stride where it had some crazy good exclusives right like

spk_0 Years yeah, I was thinking mass effect as well. Mass effect. Yeah, I know 100% yeah

spk_0 They had like a pretty damn good lineup. Yeah, you're like oh, yeah, I'm getting Xbox and that's what it was taking me again back to like the console wars in the office

spk_0 You must remember this right. Oh, I made

spk_0 Well, first the p3 Xbox

spk_0 Believe me. You know about misremember it. Well because again, I came from the Nintendo

spk_0 Be fucking comments over there. Clemens giving folklore a nine. I'm talking about this uncharted game. Yes

spk_0 Hillary saying shut the fuck up. We got halo in gear exactly

spk_0 But like lily people would get in say like

spk_0 Yeah, let's just say mass effect you they will show that the Xbox editors would look over and like sort of

spk_0 Dicker at the fellow editors of like you wish you were playing this and it was it was just so competitive back then

spk_0 Achievements like there was stuff going on. Oh my god. I got achievement

spk_0 And this is a new avatar customization from the 360 era was gold. I was so sad when they got rid of the blades

spk_0 Remember the blades the aesthetic was so good PlayStation 3 was its own thing with the cell processor and Xbox was basically a low-end PC and

spk_0 Who'd or I of course every fucking PlayStation 3 port ran like shit something was wrong the blacks didn't work

spk_0 And maybe mistaken here. I'm sort of someone will correct me

spk_0 But I think it was also the first console that was able to do wireless gaming and that little Wi-Fi adapter

spk_0 You could plug in the back the little devil little guy. Yeah, I remember that being a big which Xbox

spk_0 Xbox 360 360. Yeah, they didn't come to later in the

spk_0 Generation though. Yeah, but they did they eventually got up to like Wi-Fi and or whatever it was

spk_0 You know like if that was the speed you had today you'd kill yourself. We're back in the days. It's amazing

spk_0 There's no wires. It's like oh my god. How is this how is this thing working? 2009 Batman Arkham asylum

spk_0 Attains the Guinness world record for most critically acclaimed superhero game ever in other news

spk_0 Demon souls spawned a whole new genre that would that would put from software on the map for years to come

spk_0 The souls like was born which is 100% true

spk_0 But that's like a smoldering that's a little flame. That's not I don't think that's

spk_0 Bloodborne right is where we explode. No, I added that as like a nugget because I think some of you put it over

spk_0 Yeah, so I put that's why I put they are in the birthday

spk_0 It's a doc souls were explained, but to me the bigger story. I mean obviously Arkham asylum like

spk_0 We'll talk about that in just a second, but I added the Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2

spk_0 Kickstarted Call of Duty's dominance as the biggest entertainment franchise in the world

spk_0 Because like from Modern Warfare 2 on

spk_0 I mean they've just been like yeah knocking down the NPD charts ever since

spk_0 But I also relate that what now it made me remember why I'm like screw this. I'm not playing Xbox online like

spk_0 Call of Duty. It was so toxic like it's just it's funny that that would last the day

spk_0 I was it today. I mean, it's still pretty bad. I'm just saying that Xbox live

spk_0 It's funny. Don't you think it became pretty iconic around call duty of being like super duper toxic. I mean

spk_0 Yeah, I didn't want my mic and I feel like that's like a it's still it still is yeah

spk_0 Yeah, it hasn't changed. He's your to control now though. Can I can I tell you my

spk_0 My favorite Xbox 360 story like my time as a Xbox 360 game

spk_0 I've there's actually Leah my wife's actually got footage of this that you'll never see

spk_0 Just for us. You're gonna tell us about it. We won't show it

spk_0 So we had the 360

spk_0 uh, I think Leah and I started dating in 2005 so there was

spk_0 But it was some we were like first going out and um

spk_0 We got 360 and we got the vision cam

spk_0 Sure I'm in the vision cam camera that you plugged in it was a shitty like I was like maybe like 240p

spk_0 I can't it was bad. Yeah, but again, it was like oh wow

spk_0 It was like the inner thighs of a postage. Yeah, and now there's a camera built into like literally everything you buy

spk_0 Again, take it for granted, but back then this was the first time. So it's a little vision cam and I had the little microphone thing

spk_0 And what I would do is I'd get super stoned. This is before it was legal

spk_0 So we had to go to Dolores Park and buy our stuff from the from the cookie man that would sell the the cookies

spk_0 And they were disgusting right because it's like well from down now you go to this walk into the store and buy like fucking artisanal

spk_0 Belgian chocolate that will take you to another planet

spk_0 But as a reminder everyone a kind of funny does sign a dare pledge like we did sign the dare

spk_0 They know the drug which means when you go to Vegas you buy the weed what you throw it away for

spk_0 Send any you don't want over to me

spk_0 I would get super stoned on these disgusting cookies that we've been in the cookie man

spk_0 In Dolores Park and then I got I don't make my how I got it

spk_0 But I got this hand puppet it was a Jesus hand puppet and it looked like a little Jesus also

spk_0 Dolores Barbos like a guy had like a white and a sash and the hair and the beard

spk_0 I guess it kind of without if you took the thing off he just looked like a caveman

spk_0 But you put this thing on oh it's Jesus and so I would like hide under I would like hide under the camera and like pop it the thing for the camera

spk_0 He saw the puppet

spk_0 Gary did you like one of those cookies before we started

spk_0 I would go on and I would do the hello. I am Jesus. I will bless your game with my Jesus powers. It was all very stupid

spk_0 And but people don't forget that's like two o'clock in the morning. Yeah, we were nice playing Uno

spk_0 Stone is fox stone just fuck I'm telling you Xbox 360 Uno with the vision camp

spk_0 If you take take take take all the the penises out of it. Yeah, and it was a brilliant experience

spk_0 Yeah, it's he allows cracking myself up

spk_0 Speaking of brilliant experiences 2010 PlayStation move and Microsoft connect both launch were connect both launch worldwide

spk_0 Yeah

spk_0 What launched

spk_0 And Microsoft connect yeah

spk_0 How long have you got I still vividly remember that best that press conference with the connect and then showing all the games and how I mean

spk_0 It really seemed like magical technology and the problem was it just did not work that way in people's houses

spk_0 Yeah, you cannot

spk_0 Yeah, it's another bam when you did that with his foot you all think wake down

spk_0 You will never achieve it you will never achieve

spk_0 Success in innovation that kind of like the kind that Nintendo enjoys by looking at what someone else has already done

spk_0 In this case with the Nintendo Wii and the Wii controls the Wii modes and go

spk_0 That's a good innovation we should innovate like that as well

spk_0 Yeah, and then copy basically copy and come up with a new feary version like the move again

spk_0 Fucking dead on arrival right they tried to resurrect with a PSVR

spk_0 Maybe don't try to resurrect with something else. It's also dead on arrival

spk_0 And then the connects which again, I've said it before one of the worst biggest boondoggles in the history of the video game industry

spk_0 It fucking killed the Xbox one they forced it into every box jacking up the price no one knew what it was

spk_0 It didn't work they lied and faked about how well it worked remember the star was demo where the character fucking jumps before the guy on stage did because it was all

spk_0 Spirited and fake we all saw we also it did not work

spk_0 The natural rifle has something to say what's that being any critter? What about my friend Milo

spk_0 We're gonna oh

spk_0 Plesed Peter I love it. I still loving so much um

spk_0 I remember the moment you remember I remember the moment I knew it was dead

spk_0 I went to a kid's birthday party and there was a bunch of kids and they had a connect then they were trying to play one of the connect games

spk_0 And after about five minutes one of the kids said can we just play something with a controller?

spk_0 That's it's over bad bad news bears yeah, yeah, I remember trying to magnet

spk_0 No disrespect to John

spk_0 I try to remember trying to navigate the menus on dance central you look like fucking trump dancing going like this

spk_0 You just look like an idiot like why is it not doing anything? How is this?

spk_0 Easier than this it's not it's terrible

spk_0 It's why happens when you try to copy someone else's innovation

spk_0 But you don't fucking know how to innovate so connect killed the Xbox one

spk_0 It's a real shame Xbox is still in a hole because of it feel Spencer rightly said

spk_0 Is one of the one other generations might as things I've heard yet the worst generation to lose because it's when started

spk_0 People started building their digital libraries and getting to the well

spk_0 I mean the ecosystem no all my games are here. I can't move over there

spk_0 Um, they they fucking don't metric can never be pilloried enough

spk_0 But like how that because again coming out of parity 360 a

spk_0 Resurgent PS3 in the in the mud yeah, and then they they could have like gone for the kill

spk_0 And instead they chose to fucking kill themselves and by the way it was there was like the first version of connect was our right

spk_0 And then Xbox one had the 2010 they launched that connect for the 360 we are getting a bit to 2013

spk_0 Xbox one launches, but it's the it's all part of the same conversation. I was just trying to remember that was it

spk_0 Honestly, if you want to make the connects and try to copy Nintendo fine make it an accessory

spk_0 But again, they were on the shelves at the same time yes for an Xbox one and

spk_0 That thing was a net was a hundred dollars more expensive for a thing that you didn't want or understand how to use

spk_0 And if you even tried to use it it didn't work

spk_0 It just

spk_0 You said about 2013

spk_0 I know I know I know right there. I'll have more to say that but the last comment I say there is there's a lot of history of

spk_0 Companies having ideas that are good that don't work that doesn't mean there weren't a few good ideas in there

spk_0 It's only they I would say and as we get I don't think they should have done it then

spk_0 But there was some earnest good thoughts in there as we get to 2011 Greg

spk_0 I want to shout out Michael so is B who's super chatted six different times for two dollars each saying

spk_0 2000 on the road to 2000

spk_0 We are inching closer and closer to 1000. I believe we're about 16 away

spk_0 But I also want to shout out Chris rod with a one hundred dollars super chat

spk_0 That's only what I'll do

spk_0 He's got something to say big just for fun big money because like now you'll like this I know

spk_0 Because I'm in a good mood today

spk_0 I will now treat everything I say for the rest of the show as a super chat every time I write this down Mike every time

spk_0 I say something okay

spk_0 I'll give you five dollars at the end wow

spk_0 Okay, how long are these sentences gonna do? I'm just gonna I'm just gonna keep a mouth shut

spk_0 That was the last we just got it now

spk_0 I was 20 11

spk_0 I also want to thank Michael major with a $50 super chat saying congrats

spk_0 So much love from everybody. We got grim e and David

spk_0 Larry a lot of people aren't even leaving messages because they just are leaving my one dollar

spk_0 Gary wouldn't believe this super chat Phil wrote me and says Mike talk about La Boo Boo for 200 milliseconds

spk_0 I'm telling you fucking La Boo Boo

spk_0 I got this sweet La Boo Boo named Serenity. I love La Boo Boo

spk_0 It's got a call duty outfit too. You would love this okay

spk_0 I got you you're gonna do it now. No, I tried to break here

spk_0 I was really I really want you to talk about La Boo Boo though

spk_0 in La Boo Boo Boo

spk_0 2011

spk_0 The Nintendo 3DS launches 2012 the Wii U launches so right in this prime time Nintendo stuff you

spk_0 I remembered the 3DS and being at that

spk_0 Nintendo press conference because

spk_0 That was getting to the end of when Nintendo was doing in person. Yeah, press conferences because they stopped doing them long before everybody else

spk_0 And remember the presentation where they had like

spk_0 The 3DS open and they were showing Zelda on it like for the first time you can see the difference between turning the slider on

spk_0 And turning the slider off and I just like you didn't fully understand it and so we got to the show floor

spk_0 And you actually got to hold it and you're like whoa. How are you doing this without glasses exactly the big takeaway?

spk_0 It was really cool great console

spk_0 Grant Mr. Nintendo. Yeah, I it was there's a perfect example of something that I was like I did not like it overall

spk_0 But Luigi's mansion. I think it was maybe in particular. I remember being like well, this is this is pretty neat

spk_0 I turn mine off and left it off all the time. I hated that. Yeah

spk_0 Just remember doing it and it first of all being hard to find the spot and then actually after a while

spk_0 I was like this is like hiring my eye

spk_0 Use a lot more of the battery and that too and you like screw it. It's not worth it

spk_0 It just wasn't worth it at all. Why are you doing why are you doing the self-imposed bit? Are you guys watching rumble right now?

spk_0 That's about glasses for the first time with trippy AF. That's trippy AF. No doubt no doubt. Oh, okay. I hope that wall again

spk_0 I also have a super chat here. I wanted to read from Kevin Lindsey just throwing back to 2008 who said massive

spk_0 I causes debates on Fox News over over simulated alien sex. I remember that remember that. Oh, I'm glad Fox News is really straight

spk_0 And themselves out and don't report on the whole show and then Jackie Lord with a $2 super chat says bring back the fat five

spk_0 I remember that that's a good time. I do remember that. That was good. Uh me while the Wii U I think sucked

spk_0 Yeah, great games. Terrible. Yeah, the Wii U was bad. I'm willing to spend money on this one

spk_0 Yeah, it was it was it was a whole segment about you talking after this. So we're only doing it here. I that was next year. We you okay got it

spk_0 All right, I'll save it then I want my money back

spk_0 I didn't count on a refund. So I need you to do that

spk_0 Here we are. Okay, that was 2012. Are you launches? Oh, no 20. Oh, I thought we were talking about 3DS in 2011

spk_0 I said I put it together. I said 2011 3DS 2012 was we yeah, you gave us an Nintendo sad or each other one

spk_0 And now we go to 2013

spk_0 I at least one is that was one of the most horrible console

spk_0 Launch less setup experience I ever had. I don't know why maybe it was just bad luck

spk_0 But I just remember trying to get it set up and like downloading stuff or something and it just like was awful

spk_0 It took me like 90 minutes to two hours

spk_0 It was terrible and then my second thought was how am I going to get this cable long enough to run to the bathroom

spk_0 Why you know, it's the only real way to play the Wii U

spk_0 I feel like I

spk_0 Wanted that do you guys remember that Zelda tech demo we got in the behind closed doors and then Nintendo booth for the Wii U

spk_0 And that game just like never

spk_0 Existed never came out. It was like this gorgeous

spk_0 beautiful Zelda game

spk_0 Um that was 3d and was that not game cube

spk_0 I was there was there was that for game

spk_0 It was like it was

spk_0 The Wii U tech demo that was only playable on the show floor at E3

spk_0 We got to look this one up. I don't remember. I'll see if I can find it

spk_0 There was a crazy Zelda tech demo that never came out for that. Yeah

spk_0 And I just kept waiting for that game to come out and it never did I only think of the one before win waker

spk_0 Yeah, yeah, but it wasn't based on just like a previous Zelda

spk_0 Well, I think it was based on Twilight princess

spk_0 That's why but it was like different. Yeah, well because I think before breath of the wild

spk_0 You know, at least on on what's good games we had

spk_0 Spiraculated Brittany and I that maybe oh they were gonna resurrect that tech demo

spk_0 That would be what the news elder was gonna look like but then we got breath of the wild

spk_0 Which was a very different kind of art style. Okay. Yeah, Wii U what a failure

spk_0 Great games though and I've got so many of them made a switch

spk_0 And I remember many things about the Wii U certainly not enjoying it very much, but I remember

spk_0 And it's funny because Nintendo has gone the exact opposite way now like a lot of people will rightly praise the switch too

spk_0 Like when you hold it in your hand it feels like a really well built piece of hardware like solid

spk_0 It's got just enough heft to it. How do they learn what a horrible?

spk_0 So you'll know you know where I'm going when you picked up that Wii U handheld it just felt like a cheat

spk_0 Cheat shiny piece of plastic

spk_0 Like it would drop the connection to the to the console like like 10 15 feet away

spk_0 Like you had almost no leash on that thing

spk_0 And then it was just like the games were just not great, right? No, the games were great

spk_0 Well some I mean somewhere the traditional Nintendo. Oh, this is the jala Nintendo had it's

spk_0 What have you found? It's a tech the tech demo. Oh, interesting. I'll show it to you

spk_0 Maybe bring it up. Yeah, can you just send it to assets?

spk_0 Yeah, look up the Zelda HD experience Wii U. Thank you to chat for that. I don't think he knows how to do that

spk_0 I don't think he knows how to do that

spk_0 I'll send it to you. I didn't like you asking me to send him a clip. That's fine

spk_0 I mean the clip that you're showing everyone on the dance room. Want me to slack it to you right now?

spk_0 I said

spk_0 In his own slack

spk_0 2013 the PlayStation 4 and Xbox one launched worldwide as well as the uja

spk_0 Enough. Oh, yeah, it starts the year of Luigi

spk_0 Was it was the year of Luigi? Yeah, we're about to you for another one aren't we? Yeah, we might actually be already having it Greg

spk_0 I blacked out for a second. What did you say?

spk_0 PlayStation 4 Xbox one launch 2013

spk_0 We already talked about it getting a lot there. We've talked about Xbox one fucking every two launch games were

spk_0 One right, but which one either I mean

spk_0 Rise full of room in game. Yeah, remember that one. Yeah, son of Rome. Yeah, it's right for PlayStation 4. How smart? Resogun. Oh god

spk_0 Resogun was so good. Look at him today

spk_0 Yeah, I love the shadow kills own shadow fall. Yeah, kill

spk_0 What else would it that oh god, it's white. We're like we don't care. We're so we still don't care. We're done

spk_0 This is actually I got my generations mixed up. I was gonna say remember when they fucking launched the HD DVD add on for three six

spk_0 What a mess that was but Xbox one as I recall I you know, I remember like on it kind

spk_0 I remember when like they came out and did the whole presentation and they ended up with people saying

spk_0 Not where are the games they've shown any games because they would they were patching up or I'll do the call of duty TV TV

spk_0 Yeah, they were pitching it more as remember it had the ethernet. Yeah, the cable

spk_0 You're all in one entertainment machine. That was the marketing on I feel like on paper in theory that seemed like a good idea

spk_0 It's all just gonna be one box. That's why they called it Xbox one like whatever you do whether you play games or watch TV or whatever

spk_0 Let you just do it on this one box and like that seems

spk_0 Good right who wants like 15 different boxes, but like

spk_0 Again, it was primarily a console a game console

spk_0 That's what people over the course are like the previous generations have been conditioned to expect

spk_0 And then they came out and talked about it as a thing that you watch TV on yep

spk_0 And I think you know, I think they never really recovered remember when they absolutely crushed the snap feature though

spk_0 And it's never been seen again. Where you could play video games while watching something. Yeah, that was cool

spk_0 It was the bullets hit around

spk_0 So

spk_0 None of you probably remember this I actually reviewed the Xbox one and did the video review and everything I spent all this time

spk_0 The amount Tim shares the fucking gift of you doing the hula dance

spk_0 Oh

spk_0 That was also reviewing you be soft. Oh the connect fitness game. Yeah, which were actually decent

spk_0 But anyway, I remember reviewing it and yes like Xbox snap

spk_0 When it heard you and worked was pretty. Oh, that's right. You said it. Yes

spk_0 You'd be playing you're like Xbox snap HBO. I mean you couldn't do that on HBO

spk_0 But it would even connect it to your freaking cable like the idea was not

spk_0 Terrible to screen like you like watching like sports while you play call of duty

spk_0 That's a great idea. I'll give you a paper. I'll give you two more as well from that generation because Microsoft are the masses of coming up a great ideas and then like squandering them

spk_0 um

spk_0 One versus 100

spk_0 Fantastic you don't remember that yes

spk_0 And um

spk_0 What was the other thing that was cool fuck now I had two things why you think of it? I also oh netflix viewing party

spk_0 Like viewing party. Oh, yeah, remember 60. Yeah. Oh so good. I have a tarz. They down there

spk_0 Well, you had your little emm mystery science theater guys that the bottom is yeah

spk_0 I'm pretty much fun. So this goes back to what I was saying before is like yet like connect overall was a failure

spk_0 There's still some good ideas in there one of the ones that I like the best and it's on practically on our phones now

spk_0 You know, we're used to like saying some basic commands but like Xbox on

spk_0 Was actually a great concept because I always remember but it just didn't work every time

spk_0 No, but the idea of like walking in throwing my bag down to being like Xbox on and the TV flipped on

spk_0 Xbox on and by the time I grabbed the controller

spk_0 We're about ready to go but he did it was like slow

spk_0 It didn't always work, but it did and it brings me to like why don't we actually have that today?

spk_0 I use the shit out of it

spk_0 Bring it back because I was so busy in art school working until five in the morning on projects and stuff

spk_0 It was constantly Xbox switch to netflix Xbox switch to tv and my tv was already set to adult

spk_0 Swim at that time. I just had Rick and Morty plan or whatever. I used that connect all the time

spk_0 Volume up volume down. It was I was like the like the golden example of what they hoped everybody was like

spk_0 Yeah, there was a lot of great. No, I remember like I say I like someone to be home like playing full of dude in the room

spk_0 And come in and go Xbox off like just fuck with them classic

spk_0 So you I don't know if you guys talked about it earlier. It's relevant to the new story about Xbox today

spk_0 But I'm like get I think get ready for it some of this to come back with hey copilot

spk_0 And show that's where people

spk_0 I mean you know that's a way from it because it killed him here

spk_0 Well, this is why PlayStation wins this generation out the gate and never looks back

spk_0 Is that we're about games? This is a machine for games games games games games

spk_0 And Xbox like we want to be the hub and they were like no

spk_0 Yeah, and it's that thing where you're never going to be able to compete with what echo is doing what series doing

spk_0 These systems that are devised designed for that

spk_0 But now that's what's changing is that you've got you know chat gbt5

spk_0 Yeah, yeah, yeah, all the sudden that is going to be your side cart on the next Xbox and so when people think about the next Xbox consoles

spk_0 That is why they're going to take hundreds of millions hours of hits

spk_0 On selling call duties because it's coming out of the AI fun because they know

spk_0 Copilot is going to be on the next Xbox. So anyway, we've all got a lot of thoughts about AI

spk_0 Mostly negative and rightly so one thing that I was thinking yeah, I think Microsoft is supposed to be working on something like this

spk_0 Is a future where if I'm stuck on a level and can't figure out how to get out of a room or say hey Xbox

spk_0 How do I get out this room and it won't and it will guide me and it will say oh yeah, I see where you're left or whatever

spk_0 That I think that is coming and that will be super useful. Yeah, I've heard about it

spk_0 That's why I game cards on PlayStation. I want to hear a special statement with Gary

spk_0 We need to get through the next four years. Hold on. Okay. Sorry. I'll shut up 24 to see you mean too much money a lot of big acquisitions happen

spk_0 Amazon purchased the online video game streaming service twitch for $970 million

spk_0 Facebook acquired the virtual reality company and product Oculus

spk_0 Microsoft also

spk_0 Microsoft also studios. I guess Microsoft studios also acquired Minecraft developer Mo Yang for $2.5 billion dollars

spk_0 To me was like

spk_0 A historic moment that Minecraft

spk_0 Story I remember that number coming out and a saw being like that is an unfathomable amount of money for

spk_0 I'm still and yet still good value. I mean a humongous value

spk_0 You know, I think we were all like bending over backwards trying to figure out how is Microsoft gonna make that money back and here we are

spk_0 You know 10 years later and they're like

spk_0 Oh, yeah, but then they blew it all on activision

spk_0 But I think again, this is like one of those turning points of and I guess not 100% true right as we are talking about rare

spk_0 Mo Yang up in saying mojang

spk_0 Oh, there was one Xbox presentation where they came out like in our friends at Mo Yang and we all went oh fuck

spk_0 Oh, no

spk_0 Anyways, but I feel like that's such a turning point in terms of these giant acquisitions starting to happen yeah

spk_0 2015

spk_0 So Toro Iwada president CEO of Nintendo died at the age of 55 this pilot game informer Nintendo's president

spk_0 CEO and intended to

spk_0 Nintendo's president and CEO and I think Nintendo direct hosts is probably what it's supposed to be

spk_0 Oh, there it is. O'Wada has packed away unexpectedly unexpectedly passed away

spk_0 On Nintendo issued a brief notice on its website regarding O'Wada's death the notice reads a Nintendo co-limited

spk_0 deeply regards to announce the present that president

spk_0 Iwada

spk_0 passed away on July 11th 2015 due to a bile duct growth

spk_0 This is a heartbreaking surprise as a Wada was more than just a high-ranking Nintendo executive

spk_0 He was a personality and represented it for the company and has a long history of programming and hands-on game development

spk_0 For many of Nintendo's biggest games

spk_0 Archindolences go out to all of his friends and family as well as as many fans

spk_0 Nintendo won't be the same without him and I think

spk_0 100% it never was

spk_0 Oh, I mean, that's not to say Nintendo's good bad otherwise

spk_0 But O'Wada was so synonymous with Nintendo directs in what that was in his friendship with Reggie and what that whole system was like

spk_0 To lose him even is I've never been the Nintendo god. Can you imagine me a moto goes?

spk_0 Oh, no, I don't think about that either

spk_0 Any of them when you starting about flags at half-moss

spk_0 How many you know Kojima games are left but you digress yeah, I was gonna say one thing that was really important about that moment

spk_0 First of all, yeah, he was this amazing guy that came out of development that um broke through like you were saying that

spk_0 He kind of bridged that between if you remember it was

spk_0 Yamachii like really old school Nintendo leadership

spk_0 But me a moto was more like the face

spk_0 But Iwada was to your point able to make through but secondly the thing that we kind of lost there was

spk_0 There normally was that leadership handoff right in well a moto would still be there

spk_0 But there would have been the next moment when a wada chose the successor

spk_0 And so we've since then that's not how it's really quite happened

spk_0 I feel like it's kind of gotten tossed around a bit since then and you we can see

spk_0 What Franco switch two things have changed quite a bit. Yeah

spk_0 Andrea adds

spk_0 Deservedly so 2015 also sees a release of Witcher 3 grant grant a lot of five and fall out for

spk_0 She's what do you think three big games, but only one of those is like all-time legendary

spk_0 I would say you need to get your wig out. No, this is a fact. This is we're charging you for this one

spk_0 One of those three I got the I've got the money definitely too. I think followed is debatable

spk_0 But I have a vivid memory less than comes into GTA 5 was 23. I've got Howard being on stage

spk_0 I think at what the time was the code act theater

spk_0 You know where they have the Oscars every year

spk_0 But as I did their press conference like in Hollywood

spk_0 It was this big thing them renting out this giant theater for us all to go to and it had been I mean

spk_0 The next thing and fall had been rumored for years at that point

spk_0 And then they kind of like shadow dropped it

spk_0 They announced it and then said it's coming this November

spk_0 And that had never really been done up until that point that they released announced a major AAA

spk_0 franchise installment from one of the biggest publishers and said just like four months later

spk_0 You're gonna be able to buy it like that was it was wild

spk_0 Yes, it's it's not your intention that Witcher 3 could be placed in the same category of us of like legendarily in this

spk_0 As GTA 5. Yeah almost nothing can be

spk_0 Well, yeah GTA 5 23. I mean I mean

spk_0 It is on an island right like like they are they stand alone in a number of ways

spk_0 But like as one of like the biggest games which are three. Oh, that's one. Yeah

spk_0 You just said it. It stands alone. You can't put anything else with it

spk_0 Like maybe one or two other game like Super Mario

spk_0 But there's a Minecraft. There's a handle

spk_0 But pull the numbers for Witcher 3 and GTA 5 right now. I'm coming from a sales perspective. Yes

spk_0 From a content perspective we can do a whole not

spk_0 I would also say mind share. I mean look at the number of people that are freaking out around like when GTA 6 hits

spk_0 That is going to be the biggest day in the history of gaming when Witcher 4 hits it will not be anything close to that

spk_0 Well, I don't agree. I don't disagree with that before what you know

spk_0 I'm just saying I'm just saying that the two games you mentioned

spk_0 Bigging or something like 2016 Pokemon Go launched and took over the world

spk_0 The closest we've ever been to world piece. Wait what day Pokemon go? Oh, oh, yeah

spk_0 I remember walking out of the old spare bedroom because this is kind of funny being super independent right and you'd get out there on the street

spk_0 And people in my weird sleeping neighborhood and the sunset out there chasing charmators like what the fuck is happening

spk_0 I don't know if you can see people like old congregate. You got that must be a gym. Yeah, exactly exactly

spk_0 I was in Deloitte Park for a Pokemon Go event that I was covering for gamer next door weekly

spk_0 And there was four thousand people in Deloitte Park. Yeah, and it was like a it was a crawl through San Francisco

spk_0 Of people going and playing Pokemon Go together. Yeah

spk_0 What I was actually creating like a street safety issues at one point

spk_0 Oh, yeah, we're in New York everyone like rushing across central park to try and get all like people will like being encouraged to go hang out in central park in the middle of the night to find a fucking charmander

spk_0 Yeah, you get fucking knife

spk_0 Uh, it's super effective

spk_0 I have to wonder was that actually like the biggest phone gaming moment that happened by far like what was a big phone game at that time?

spk_0 I mean nothing like this

spk_0 Yeah, Candy Crush, Angry Birds, Landshakes, and the other games that you just playing around these games actually like it was weird because it was the first game

spk_0 That was like notice of allowed in the real world. Yeah, normal people were playing when I do walk back

spk_0 I don't think I don't think any of the things examples we come up are gonna touch what this was

spk_0 And then of course 2017 kind of funny launch is kind of funny games

spk_0 I should get stories and episodes ago everybody if you can do you have an app

spk_0 Do you still have you must have it right? You're very first show somewhere. What does that? Oh, yeah?

spk_0 I don't get any I don't get rid of any evil. I got a mall. I mean like what is what what is it?

spk_0 I mean if you ever come back and look at that like you know, but I can pull it in this next break if you want me

spk_0 Yeah, I said, but with you have on your hot seat for the next seat. That's right. What am I because I guess what everybody?

spk_0 We have another clip to show you, but before we do we have a super chat question

spk_0 We want you to write in with topics for Gary Whittah for a special segment called what grinds Gary's gears

spk_0 You guys are really awesome one of the things that I've come to appreciate about kind of funny games daily

spk_0 Businessy industry insider kind of pieces and help to make them a little more digestible for just you know

spk_0 Regular everyday gamers and you guys do that with by pieces you do that with a whole lot of other

spk_0 Really great writers who write about industry topics and it's just really awesome. You do that

spk_0 You asked me to share one of my favorite pieces and I actually wanted to share this one

spk_0 I wrote this one a couple years ago and I actually feel like not very many people picked it up

spk_0 But it's genuinely one of my favorite things would have ever written

spk_0 It's about this game called spin tires and the weird

spk_0 Back and forth argument over who actually owned this little driving simulation game

spk_0 It's really detailed. It took some very bizarre twists and turns

spk_0 And I really really enjoyed reporting on it just because of the

spk_0 multitude of skills that I had to use to sort of get to the bottom of what was really happening here

spk_0 So that's an article from me

spk_0 But you guys are freaking incredible and I appreciate everything about you

spk_0 I love listening to game stately and I hope you guys have an amazing

spk_0 2000 episode and

spk_0 2000 episodes of kind of funny games daily that is incredible

spk_0 And I'm so thankful to have been a small part of that show each time my stories are read on the air

spk_0 And it means the world that kind of funny supports journalists like us all around the world by reading our stories and making sure

spk_0 Our news and our reports and our features are out there for people to hear about on the show

spk_0 um

spk_0 I remember the first time Greg read one of my stories on the air

spk_0 He didn't actually mention my name because he wasn't reading the author by lines at that point

spk_0 And so I messaged him and said yo, you should absolutely be reading the bylines

spk_0 Selfishly because I just want to hear my name on the show

spk_0 But also because it's it's a good thing to do and he started doing that

spk_0 But now without calling me west they look all that motherfucker every single time you read one of my stories

spk_0 And I loved it and it made me laugh every time

spk_0 Fast forward a few years later and now I'm a game and former and my story still get read on the air sometimes

spk_0 And it makes my day every single time and I love it

spk_0 2000 episodes that's true. We nuts. I've been on the show twice once uh when I got laid off a couple years ago from being

spk_0 Not so fun the second time was with blessing earlier this year to help bring bad game of former's new era of our magazine

spk_0 Um, it's been with blessing both times and I've loved that but it is uh kind of concerning with me that Greg continues to avoid hosting the show with me

spk_0 I know he's scared. I know he's

spk_0 Terrified of my knowledge and that would absolutely school him on kind of funny game showdown and and routine streak

spk_0 It is what it is. It's not up for debate. It's not a question. Everybody knows that I get why he doesn't host with me

spk_0 But one day we'll make it happen to grads on 2000 kind of funny games daily

spk_0 Assuming that I can just be poked with a fucking stick and rant on demand. I ran when I feel the need

spk_0 It's an organic thing you can't just like go and rant do something say something you say angry

spk_0 I feel like you say that but you pull a rance out of thin air Gary

spk_0 I again out of thin-end not because I was poked with a stick I'm turtish on robo bartender super chast says Gary people mad at bad bunny headlining the super ball thoughts

spk_0 Ridiculous

spk_0 I mean last I last I heard he was one of the most popular music artists in the world. No Gary right what exactly is the problem again

spk_0 Oh, he speaks Spanish

spk_0 Oh, no, can't have that

spk_0 Puerto Rican

spk_0 No one in the United States speaks Spanish right always reminds me of that one is lining

spk_0 Contact when they're like well why didn't the aliens just speak English? She's like well maybe because like 90% of the world speaks other languages

spk_0 Yeah, what a good movie when we're talking about everything to do with a Gary ranting

spk_0 But I want to thank Kenji with a $50 super chat and Karen Lidner with another $50

spk_0 Super chat in addition to flip the USB twice as long time fans since IGN days

spk_0 Just want to say thanks for all the vids and good vibes got my first K of gd shirt

spk_0 And it's arriving today. Here's to another 2k. Oh, yeah

spk_0 Thank you everybody Gary isn't it crazy that we went through 10 years plus some news and they didn't bring up World of Warcraft

spk_0 Once I mean

spk_0 That's crazy

spk_0 This game and video game history and I'm not getting fucking dominated my life because that was mess

spk_0 I tried not to add video game releases because that that would have made the second last too long

spk_0 Because you're a Pokemon going game releases

spk_0 Well, we're afraid of super chat. That's a trend. You know, we're afraid of super chat. I mean Gary

spk_0 Water Warcraft is was and remains big fucking deep

spk_0 Huge you booted up all the work. Okay. Well, I mean I had look

spk_0 I had my I had my time with water warcraft during the first few years

spk_0 I played from a route I played from the beta I level maxed out level 39 Paladin in the beta all the way up to cataclysm

spk_0 I think it was where I was where I stopped

spk_0 Did you ever say beta? Oh, yeah, I just say beta. I used to say root. I never see James's

spk_0 Well, I never say you're supposed to say beta. I never I never used to say router because

spk_0 Router's only became a thing after I came to America. I've been to America in the America. I was 30 years

spk_0 So certain things I've only ever learned the American way to say but I used to say yeah, I still say tomato

spk_0 Okay, sometimes I say tomato. I'm sorry back to your world of work. Have you had your thing? You did your run? You're great

spk_0 Yeah, so yeah, I was in a hardcore rating guild

spk_0 We you know, we we did everything that was to doing that game

spk_0 I still have some of the my fondest fondest memories ever and every now and again

spk_0 I've I've toyed with the idea of going back but you know again

spk_0 I've said before and the star drink what it used to be you try to

spk_0 Recreate something you I felt that this game made me feel a certain way like to me it never works

spk_0 It always just kind of like ah, it's not how I remember it leave it alone

spk_0 If you have great memories of a game from like 20 years ago leave them

spk_0 Crystalized in amber you don't have to go back and poke at them

spk_0 Will Frato super chast and says Gary talk about modern video game story writing

spk_0 So I say again talk about modern video game story writing

spk_0 I think I'm on you can do a better question than that. I mean, I'm here. You're not gonna get right out of it that way

spk_0 No, no, what I said, but what I mean is that when I say better

spk_0 I mean like that's the like the biggest umbrella question

spk_0 Like what's like the more granular way to ask some Gary as if what you help us writer in a winner of two baffties

spk_0 How do you currently feel about video game story writing? I think it's in the best shape. It's ever been thank you very

spk_0 I remember when you know

spk_0 Sorry Mario, but the princess is in another castle that was like that was the extent of video game storytelling and now you know

spk_0 Some of the storytelling in video games is is

spk_0 Can stand alongside any other medium. It's incredible

spk_0 Amazing time to be a can I bring in one from key KH cloud who writes and it says Gary

spk_0 What are your favorite things about micro transactions and live service games?

spk_0 I'm sorry say again. What are your favorite things about micro transactions and live service games?

spk_0 My favorite you know I'm gonna do I'm gonna fuck you. I'm just gonna be saying nice positive happy things about everything

spk_0 I ran

spk_0 My my my two most played games of the last 12 months and arguably

spk_0 um

spk_0 Ever are they doing awakening and rematch? No, hell divers do rematch is a distance that hell divers too

spk_0 Which I currently have more than 2500 hours in

spk_0 And do an awakening which I didn't think I was gonna get into but these gibbonies convinced me to play and then immediately fucked off

spk_0 Let me let me out. Yeah, but now me and Adam fucking run that server

spk_0 We're the we're the spice barons. We're like the fucking Harkin and swimming around in all that shing

spk_0 Give me more spice my arachish. I'm that guy. Yeah, yeah, so um no

spk_0 It's great. I still we I haven't played for about a week, but like man

spk_0 I was like hard I have been and continue to be hard going to do the awakening

spk_0 I've said this to to a few people a few times now even Adam

spk_0 We didn't want to play it. Oh fucking loves it now. I think people are sleeping on that game. It's a really it's a really probably that since I've been looking to scratch the MMO

spk_0 Itch since World of Warcraft. I can't go back to World of War because again. Well, that's its own thing

spk_0 And I've tried other games. This is the first one that came along as like man

spk_0 I you know, I've said it all the time like for me the really best life service games are not or just games in general

spk_0 I'm not a game that you play but a place that you got like when I play mass effect

spk_0 I'm fucking in that world

spk_0 If they released a mass effects MMO you would never see me again

spk_0 Same z

spk_0 I love that shit and doon awakening. It does such a good job of it actually got me more into I read the book years ago

spk_0 And I enjoyed the movies, but like that game got me into like the dune lore

spk_0 Yeah, and the world of dune more than anything else that's that's come along

spk_0 So it's so fascinating like I could tell you I could like tell you all about like the water conversation

spk_0 Conservation on a racas and you get into it like it's a really really fun game

spk_0 The combat loop is really the combat's really fun. It's fun to build and customize your base

spk_0 It's a beautiful world the graphics are phenomenal

spk_0 I kind of feel like people are sleeping on did this game will not even be mentioned when it comes to the game of the year

spk_0 Which is that really fucking good game. I think what really is gonna happen is when it comes to console

spk_0 Yeah, that's next year and I think I think I think I think it'll get it's I think it will get its roses then

spk_0 I have 140 hours in dune awakening my most played game this year. Yeah, but on the flip side of that

spk_0 I'm like okay

spk_0 Let's be honest. I'm 90 hours is probably just me building seven different bases where I would like always read

spk_0 The building in that game was just so freaking fun, but Garrett. We need aliens to shoot at like I couldn't do it

spk_0 I couldn't just shoot dudes anymore. No, I need like big raid bosses. I need like and that's not part of the dune world

spk_0 But no, it's not you know, I mean there's the worms, but the whole point is you can't tell them

spk_0 I need something more than just like a guy with two dead. Do you think I love to do like a raid boss

spk_0 We can like fight a worm or something. It'll be awesome. I'll tell you this

spk_0 And it's not just me a lot of people have said this the only time

spk_0 That I because the cost if it gets you is so severe the only time that I played a video game like the last 10 years where I've genuinely felt

spk_0 fear

spk_0 Is in that game when you're in the middle of a desert and the fucking worm

spk_0 Starts trembling is like there's a worm in your area. You better get out of there for like idiot

spk_0 There have been times when you're trying to like get back in the on the thupter and take off before the worm comes and it's like

spk_0 Because the thing is if the worm eats you it's all fucking you don't get any of your shit back

spk_0 Like there's no there's no bag for you to go recover. It's fucking worms got it now

spk_0 I've been eaten by a worm twice and it set me all the way back to the beginning since then

spk_0 Why don't you get in the air with the northern thupter you're fine, but like again

spk_0 Sometimes you got a land in a spice field and you're walking around trying to be really careful and like you'll hear that

spk_0 Here you go, but there's a worm and like run and literally it's fucking done

spk_0 The effects on it are really good when the big sound won't comes out

spk_0 It's like oh shit. That's epic and terrifying and those are the little worms and you go to the deep desert and they're fucking 50 times bigger

spk_0 I don't know. That was a bigger worm. Oh you got no idea. You haven't seen the fucking shy halloude yet my friend

spk_0 Things huge

spk_0 The desert takes the desert take let me say so basically like you go out to the deep desert right where they have these massive spice fields

spk_0 And the spice field is probably like 10 times the size of this studio in terms of like real space

spk_0 When the big worm comes up

spk_0 It eats the entire field in one bite like it's my god. It's mental big worm

spk_0 It's really but honestly that sense of like danger

spk_0 And again, just that sense of like being in a time and place like I feel like I'm on a rakis

spk_0 I am this character. I'm doing this shit. It's really really good. It's my

spk_0 recommendation you've like sold me so hard because I'm a diehard dune fan

spk_0 And I had the pleasure of seeing

spk_0 Multiple funcomes

spk_0 Doodawakey here come pick before before Nick says I think maybe some people don't realize that funcom were

spk_0 Really closely with the

spk_0 Movies

spk_0 Oh, yeah, I mean it looks just like the world. Yeah, to make it really cohesive

spk_0 What's it all of the aesthetic is from the very logo? Yeah, all of the aesthetic is from the villain of me the first time

spk_0 You got an arrow keen. It's like shit. That's the arrow keen from the movie. Mm-hmm, right?

spk_0 All of the estate they did a really good job with all of that stuff

spk_0 And if you want to play come to our server

spk_0 I'm so worried that I don't have what I'm gonna do. Me and Andrea will

spk_0 Well, sorry me and Adam will boost up because we're fucking we're kings on that server

spk_0 So that's my wish. I mean, I come

spk_0 We come home at the end of the day. Oh, we swim around in spice like fucking Scrooge McDuck

spk_0 That's her idea before it launched. I was super and everything I was hearing then I missed launch weekend

spk_0 And then all I heard was Nick be like oh, man, we can't help Gary to hold this back

spk_0 But if I if I if I

spk_0 If I came to a server you be able to help me all right

spk_0 So first of all proffinic Nick is the only one that actually stuck around and he's still playing with us

spk_0 We see him in the game all the time

spk_0 Everyone I was fucking yesterday

spk_0 Everyone else fucked off immediately

spk_0 Nick Nick Nick went and paid out taxes

spk_0 He went to the city and paid the grinds my gears paid out taxes to the potty shot emperor. Let me tell you what grinds my gears

spk_0 You get your best friend Gary into a game

spk_0 And then Gary gets his best friend Adam into a game

spk_0 And then one week goes by you go on vacation with your lovely wife

spk_0 Spain enjoying life

spk_0 You leave they're both grinding the sand bike you come back and they are

spk_0 Totalitarian space barons who don't want anything to do with you anymore. It's been a great character now. They've got a beast

spk_0 Super CD it's gonna be seen with your pedestrian. It's been a great it's been a great character arc

spk_0 So I didn't want to I don't want to play by myself

spk_0 I mean when I when I came in at that point Nick was the only one playing and like the beginning of the game

spk_0 It is a lot like rust right like it's it's a challenge just to stay alive because it's like sweltering

spk_0 Iraqis right it's super hot. There's no fucking water anywhere like you're constantly like

spk_0 Like literally like looking like do off of a leaf to try and like get some hydration

spk_0 Anywhere you go, you know, you put no transport you go into a desert. You're fucking in bio worm

spk_0 Everything kills you everywhere all the time on a rackets until you start to like get a little bit of a foothold

spk_0 And when I was still in that like wearing the rags that you start with and everything next I'll come over and help you out

spk_0 And he kind of even though this was in the game he comes in on this fucking all the thoughts

spk_0 And like jumps out with all this badass gear and starts that fucking grappling around like oh shit

spk_0 Like is that why I'm gonna be able to do eventually Nick was a badass

spk_0 But then you get to pass it on because when Adam came I came in I did something whoa

spk_0 I'm now I'm Nick and I'm getting you all a free shit

spk_0 But Adam like resistant for the longest time is like don't get me into this night

spk_0 You don't understand like what I'm like with these games. Yeah, they're in a possession with me

spk_0 That's what that's where I'm in and that's why I've been abstaining because I'm like I don't know if I can fall down the hole

spk_0 And now he's annoying because like he's a min maxry so well, why have you refined that it would have been more efficient to refine it this way or whatever

spk_0 Like you haven't done your daily chores like off

spk_0 But like

spk_0 Because of to be fair because of like Adam started after me and leapfrogged me almost immediately because he was like again

spk_0 I play the game but I'm playing at a very inefficient

spk_0 Why whereas Adam is like every second is like this is the most efficient thing I can be doing in this moment

spk_0 Like he doesn't care about the the nice things like the travel I have a little

spk_0 The crazy I have all the decorations and bases I have all the little ornaments and things in my house looks nice

spk_0 He's just like a fucking

spk_0 Shed like a box will look like an Amazon box. Yeah, it's sad right it is sad

spk_0 It's miserable. I even some I have to go there and fabricate some it's miserable. I got way to get back

spk_0 But like that we now want to pay it forward to other big Khalifa got Khalifa into it you show up

spk_0 It would take you probably I would say maybe a hundred hours in the game to go like fully load up and all the thoughts or an all the tier five gear

spk_0 Have that in an hour if you team up with oh my god. I'm doing it. I'm in Gary. I'm in all right. You do it

spk_0 I hear so here's what I'll say yeah because I have

spk_0 Flash forward to me right I still love this game

spk_0 But there's nothing much to do and that's a big problem with once you hit the end game

spk_0 It's just kind of just not there right and it's unfortunate some of it has to do with the fact that it's coming

spk_0 They can't iterate a ton because of the IP some of those have I have faith. I'm still hanging in there. I'm still paying everyone's taxes

spk_0 But I fly in the other day

spk_0 I look cause bases gone

spk_0 Caused played for like five seconds that it is gone

spk_0 Adam's bases in disrepair. It's falling apart. I was I was refueling it the other day because he's let it go

spk_0 He's done. He's done. I look now. He's coming back. Is he yeah, he said yeah, I spent some today all right

spk_0 So here's what I'll say for both of you. We have real estate in the Beverly Hills

spk_0 Oh, it's not really the Beverly Hills and more like Brentwood you guys want to play we can carve out a spot for you

spk_0 And I can start I can start putting those down for you guys the end game is fun. They remember that first five five

spk_0 They were in the deep desert. Oh my god when you say what the end game real quick

spk_0 I like this super chat from Downey Downerson. Hey, what the fuck are you guys

spk_0 Do you know waking in everybody? It's one of it's one of those games who you have

spk_0 And this is always the hallmark of a great game is like afterwards you've got like fishing stories

spk_0 Yeah, yeah, yeah, so we finally got to the point we can go to the deep desert right which is a separate area from the rest of the game

spk_0 And it's PvP and it's very dangerous and the worms are 10 times larger and everything but that's where all the spice is

spk_0 You need nothing works without spice at the end of the game. You got to have it

spk_0 Because it's really dangerous to get so you have to build a sand crawl right basically a harvest that you build that

spk_0 And you have one person driving that and so I I basically drive the sand crawler because it's you can't fuck that

spk_0 And let me tell you let me and then and then you've got Adam if you want to hear it all bickering couple

spk_0 Fighting over comms watch Adam launch Gary's spice crawler and have how Gary starts freaking out because he falls down

spk_0 So there's a lot you have to like you have to you have to play that you can't do the

spk_0 The end game yourself you have to play with other people so like one person's in the sand crawler

spk_0 You've got Adam in the in the carrier like the carry all above me hovering like anytime there's like a

spk_0 Any worm sign. He's it's his job to like grab me and pick me up

spk_0 Or we're gonna look the crawler's gonna get eaten and I'm gonna lose on my shit and the guy's bbp

spk_0 So at any point so it's like so we we can only go now with an answer like Adam you ought to get some spicy

spk_0 We need nescole. I need a couple like tough guys. So we get like

spk_0 Nick and some Adam's friends like get loaded up with the weapons they contracted me. Yeah, we paid you very unfair rate

spk_0 No, that was a generous rate. It was muscle. Yeah, hard muscle. They just put me out there

spk_0 Yeah, so we get we we fit it we fit it up. He's on a thought to with some rocket pauses like because you you go out

spk_0 Then these spice fields are highly contested. So like another another honor other honor thoughts is show up with their carry

spk_0 I was like sorry the spaces are already taken but you don't know

spk_0 Are these guys gonna be cool or are they gonna start some shit and you've got like nicks up there like Nick

spk_0 You were like super fucking like I said no itchy trigger fingers like you fire the first shot and there's no going back

spk_0 Frosty stay for us. Yeah, yeah, but we did not stay for us. Yeah, this guy looked at Gary the wrong way and Gary let this dude up

spk_0 And then the dude the dude strategically just proved to us very quickly that he had been there before yeah

spk_0 He was better than us. It was our first like Ariel straight off three of us. Yeah, yeah, we know we got I see bus

spk_0 He's trying to get us back on track. Yeah, I do questions from my only. Do you guys play with controller? Yes, you can

spk_0 Yes, anybody tried it on steam deck. I see it's verified. How's it?

spk_0 It's all right on steam deck. It's not very performant. I would if I was gonna play on steam deck

spk_0 I'd probably stream it from steam link on whatever your main PC is

spk_0 Well, we can we can start talking about I just fucking love Nick what a good one more people talking about it's such a good game

spk_0 Things tonight, but after that let's start. Let's wait. I'm ready to jump back in high perfect

spk_0 Oh, blessing because you were playing for like five seconds. I'll play for five seconds. I could be down to come back

spk_0 Oh, goddamn it's on a Nvidia GeForce now too. Oh, that would be I think the night the night the nice thing

spk_0 Playing on controller, which is it works totally well is like I mean, it's totally primed for that console release

spk_0 I think they knew they had to make the console that this had to work with the controller because they wanted to do these console versions

spk_0 Yeah, it's gonna be good so fine. Yeah

spk_0 I think that's what I think

spk_0 I do know how to eat nothing entire the entirety of what grinds

spk_0 Sorry, well again, I didn't really want it again. I didn't want to do it

spk_0 So I wanted to keep it positive. We need we need positive gears is not enough people are playing do know

spk_0 I can't well yeah, and that's I mean there are plenty of people playing it

spk_0 But the way that the servers are structured it's that you can only have so many people on each one or well we look

spk_0 Take that blessing. You just look if you've got like a little crew of like three or four people playing together

spk_0 Seriously, I'll give you the night. I'll give you the name of our siege

spk_0 And you can come join us. I mean yeah, yeah, yeah

spk_0 Now it's time for kind of funny calm slash you're wrong

spk_0 Where you write in let us know what we got wrong as you got a wrong

spk_0 So we can correct it for those watching later on YouTube listening later on podcasters is around the globe

spk_0 Surprisingly, we only got three things wrong in this almost four hour episode of kfcd husky denim writes in it says it was the FCC

spk_0 The federal

spk_0 Commerce commission that wouldn't let m&m b you're wrong to claim that it was the ftc the federal trade commission

spk_0 Isn't the FCC the communications commission correct

spk_0 So everybody's fucking wrong. Yeah, okay as usual

spk_0 Uh kabobs like since as the cable comes out of the bottom of the dreamcast controller because the top is where you put the VMU

spk_0 Which I don't think it's technically wrong

spk_0 That's just the reason why it comes that just kind of seems like why have you done it this? Why why didn't you do it this way?

spk_0 And someone just says what because we did it that way like it's not

spk_0 Doesn't explain to me why you made a bad decision and then kabobs also writes and it says the ps2 could output

spk_0 1080 i with a few games including grand frismos who also worth noting that the ps3 was the first console to launch with hdmi out as

spk_0 Standard the Xbox 360 could do 1080i since the 360 launch with analog out for the first few years and that is it for your wrong

spk_0 Greg you want to close out with the reader mail?

spk_0 Oh, man, I would like to what I am booting dune awakening on Nvidia

spk_0 Thank you

spk_0 We of course ask everybody a super chat into be part of it. We used to do reader mail now. We have a letter from a listener

spk_0 Do you want me to go to the bottom to see who it is or is that a reveal?

spk_0 It's really I like to be revealed

spk_0 Alex hubcap with the two dollars. Oh, that says one more for the road. Oh, Nick Shloss says love y'all congratulations

spk_0 Do-ro a.dop boom. We're getting we're in the spot where we're getting just a lot of one dollar

spk_0 Consubes yeah, because people wanted that number to go up 20 dollars from Brent, Michaela

spk_0 Talk about Duna Waking and sleeper hit of the year. We don't even bring it up again. Christy cream writes happy 2000

spk_0 Jesus, right, so then says Gary

spk_0 Remember when you roasted

spk_0 Hey, so you roasted me because I said Pikmin is the top three franchise

spk_0 You still stand by that Gary. I got you know what that's not what I even got the most shit for the

spk_0 You remember when I said nobody gives a shit about killer instinct

spk_0 Oh, I got we got me and Paris got a lot of shit for ask out roasted for that one for a while. Yeah, remind me rightly so I stand by it

spk_0 Yeah

spk_0 Gary was goody winner. Do you disagree with ask Anthony Adam? Which what goody winner? Do you go to you as in game of the year?

spk_0 I don't know tell me some games of the year and I'll say if I disagree untitled goose game

spk_0 Was that a game of the year a dice? I mean again, it's hard to know like I don't know what else was there

spk_0 But it's I yeah absolutely worthy worthy winner. What a great game

spk_0 Um, I don't know if there's there is there really I can't think I'd last time I thought of a I thought of a game

spk_0 I'm like, oh, that shouldn't know one game of the year. It takes to 2023 100% yeah

spk_0 Of course brilliant. I think it's a fantastic game

spk_0 I've actually been

spk_0 I've been really pleased like like ballad tro 100%

spk_0 Um

spk_0 Baldur's gate three like all the Astro bought these are all like no one's gonna have that win

spk_0 I mean, these are all brilliant games. Yeah, it's very rare

spk_0 You know every now and again like the Oscars or whatever something or when people go really seriously that movie that no

spk_0 Usually in games the right game wins it don't you think I think there's also

spk_0 Just a embarrassment of riches. Yeah, yeah

spk_0 Yeah, it's hard for years have been packed. I mean like that I'd say the last

spk_0 15 years even like it's the

spk_0 The field of games in any given year. I mean obviously some years have you know more like AAA

spk_0 Like obvious like um nominees than others, but we've just gotten so many surprised gems

spk_0 Particularly in the last like five years. I remember I think I remember 2023 because that was the year I presented the golden joysticks

spk_0 I remember everyone saying like man what a year like this is brutal for game of the year because it's just like every year every year

spk_0 There's a demo available right now called ball x pit. It's called ball pit

spk_0 Great roguelite brick breaker game. It's super super fun. So far. The game was available now also mega bunk can

spk_0 Can't not make I heard about that as well. Is that the one that's like vampires survivors? Yeah, I saw a shroud playing that

spk_0 Yeah, just straight up 3d vampires. Yeah, what's it called again mega mega bunk mega bunk or I'm gonna check it out one word

spk_0 Great game. What's gonna be so exposition 33 right like that's that's nailed on surely. I mean on the list. I mean it's one of them for sure

spk_0 Yeah, there's he's two. Yeah

spk_0 These two I feel like is the one people are forgetting about split fiction is you know earlier in the year

spk_0 Gulf of your tie right like that's gonna probably be in there

spk_0 Sox on that strength. I mean there's a bunch of game bananas bananas. Yeah, but

spk_0 It'll be expedition 33 for a lot of people. Yeah, I think when you like because there's so many games of the year awards

spk_0 Right, but like once you tally up like I think expedition that you will have won the most of them other

spk_0 I could see for when other things other awards, but I don't know it just feels like it's funny

spk_0 Because I remember the first time they showed a trailer for it. I was on K. I went and find the clip and I was kind of like

spk_0 What is this this looks like in greatest look at a banger? Why haven't I heard of this game is weird French thing and

spk_0 And you're not being one of the one of the best games of the fun. I play it is incredible game. I play quite a bit of that King come deliverance to

spk_0 Oh, that's another one. I think that's the frame as well. The video game. What inspired you to do that?

spk_0 I you know, I listen to the streets the world

spk_0 Or you buy my desk and saw me playing and I was like I got to get right there. There's a red throat

spk_0 Buses, thank you. Oh

spk_0 Through the shops. I saw little any title called the kingdom kind of deliverance to you and I was like you know when I'll give it a shot

spk_0 They're Mike's blue prints. I was another one audience

spk_0 My friends I haven't got to it because it's a puzzle game. So it's the sort of thing that I'll watch Leah play. I can't do puzzles

spk_0 But yeah, that's that's gonna be on the list

spk_0 Here's a super chat with a massive throwback right here from Jeff the maverick says this one's worth the dollar

spk_0 Oh, man, that's good. Let's be worth a dollar

spk_0 Bradley Scofield writes in and says hey, I'm usually working

spk_0 But I like to watch and listen shout out from Halifax Canada

spk_0 Hello up there Matt Rock says with $2 super chat

spk_0 Breaking news mean to the Hollywood delayed saw that yeah, well that's tomorrow on the your next episode of kind of funny games

spk_0 So what was that breaking news for hours mean of the holiwere has been delayed that's yacht clubs game the shovel night directors

spk_0 Come out on a Halloween. They've now said it will come out when it's ready. We are prepared to give you another date

spk_0 That's that's a bummer. That's quite a bummer

spk_0 Who's who had that on fantasy

spk_0 I mean, I was already out of the running but I needed for a good placement, you know, I mean it

spk_0 What's um, I don't want to be the fucking seller with Roger down what's left this year that you that we can't have a game of the year conversation without seeing like what are the maybe out of worlds too

spk_0 Call dude he's gonna be good potentially

spk_0 But he's always in the frame for anything. Oh, you mean I'm sorry. I think I forget I feel like I'm in the game of the year. Yeah

spk_0 Ah, there's one

spk_0 I'm gonna criticize check it kind of like that

spk_0 Jurassic World Evolution 3 gear

spk_0 Yeah, there you go you could replayly

spk_0 All right, oh, oh, man. No, yeah, I'm scrolling through oh there's Metroid Prime

spk_0 Metroid Prime 4

spk_0 Are we? What was the big year? What was the big ninja? I guess don't wait don't keep on bananas. I don't think I think

spk_0 Metroid is just an inherently smaller overall audience than Donkey Kong wasn't bananas are like universally loved

spk_0 Yes, yeah, right up there. It's dispatch. I don't think it'll be that high. But like I'm looking forward to that game

spk_0 Especially in like because the platform category is usually kind of wide open these days right because that's not like a very busy genre

spk_0 So if you release a platform game that's a total banger you might have it sealed up

spk_0 If banana doesn't make the list but

spk_0 Super Mario wonder did make the list I would like bites will start

spk_0 I don't see a world of where banana doesn't make that list agreed Michael major with a $50
