Welcome internet to the some of the castle podcasts also known as some other
spk_0
Podcasts. This is episode 106 today is 6 9
spk_0
Nice
spk_0
2024 I'm Elaine that was Leo we had to I mean yeah, it's there there was no
spk_0
There's no real option there also my mouth is still burning a little bit from the Dorito that I ate during the outtakes
spk_0
There's there's spicy lingers from the day
spk_0
Yeah, the chocolate but whole nature of this Dunkin spike does not going away, but you know what?
spk_0
Yeah, you know what sometimes we take one for the team and the team is the podcast and the it's just it's the internet
spk_0
You know both of our cats. We got cats guys. We did both of our cats
spk_0
Gachadais are 69
spk_0
But it could not be more on brand so let me explain
spk_0
We should explain how this shit happened before we start talking about the thing this angel actually asked me today
spk_0
She's like is your podcast about cats now? I'm like yeah, I mean pretty much yes
spk_0
So about a month ago. I got a text from you that said we have to go to this right and it was a link to yoga with kittens
spk_0
Yes, and so I said I've already purchased tickets bitch. We're going we'll pick you up when it's you know, so
spk_0
We went to this kitten yoga and we were doing yoga and there were these three little kittens running everywhere and but god
spk_0
They were maniacs. They were nuts
spk_0
They were like oh, but I definitely I definitely don't want a kitten right cool
spk_0
But then we visited these older cats that were hanging out like adult cats and both you and I fell in love with cats and my wife fell in love with a cat
spk_0
So we adopted two tortoise cats basically
spk_0
Yeah, it's kind of weird how similar at least you know like visually simulice similar geez
spk_0
Simular even drinking similar
spk_0
Our cats are yours is long here to mine is short and yours is smaller
spk_0
Yeah, but aside from that like they they really do look very similar
spk_0
They're both estimated to be like what two years old approach. Yes. Yeah, what did you name your girl?
spk_0
I named her scully
spk_0
Scully and we named our cat tortellini
spk_0
I just keep calling her Tori. She's currently climbing a box of Lego on built Lego on built that I don't want to talk about it
spk_0
Okay, so
spk_0
She's currently spulunking up and I'm built stack of Lego boxes and deciding what about the rest of my life the destroy very soon
spk_0
So I love having a cat. I missed having a cat. Yeah, so I'm I'm
spk_0
Optimistic that she will eventually decide that I'm an okay person and
spk_0
Come out from behind the bookshelf with she's currently hiding and she's she's been kind of in and out of hiding like you know
spk_0
She's she's suggesting it's it's a big thing for an animal. So um, yeah
spk_0
Yeah, mine really wants to meet the dog already so she's not as smart as she perhaps yours is
spk_0
She want to beat him up like I don't know
spk_0
She keeps running up to the top of the stairs. She's now trying to consider chewing on a cord to a rock band drums
spk_0
Do you know how much that is worth cat Jesus Christ?
spk_0
So she keeps running up to the top of the stairs and looking down at me like let me meet him. So I don't know. She's a damn fool
spk_0
This podcast is now about cats and video games fight me. Yeah, fight me
spk_0
Speaking of video games. We play them sometimes maybe a little yeah, I guess all right
spk_0
So we're both let's get the let's get the one we're both playing out off the on the table good Christ
spk_0
I cannot speak paper Mario the thousand years door. Yes, yes long long time friends long time listeners
spk_0
We'll know this is one of those games just one of the few games if you haven't heard the story you're hearing it now
spk_0
This game originally came out of the game cute
spk_0
Okay, you were working at a game stop at the time. Where to I don't think that I was working
spk_0
No, when it came out
spk_0
But it was you know in a similar era because the original was well like 2002
spk_0
Mm-hmm. I want to say I want to say this game is like 20 something is old as old as our friendship like very close
spk_0
To us are four okay, so okay
spk_0
I would not yet have been working at a game stop
spk_0
Okay, but it would it would not have been long after that so we bought this both bought this game right I ended up
spk_0
I don't play a lot of RPGs
spk_0
So I ended up finishing it and I was very proud of myself you got to the final boss and
spk_0
Literally rage quit and traded that game in I believe
spk_0
Yeah, yeah, I don't I don't remember anymore like what exactly like I remember the final boss
spk_0
I
spk_0
Remember trying to fight it and getting really frustrated, but I don't remember whether it was like
spk_0
I
spk_0
Don't remember a whole lot
spk_0
I just the rage it blinds me you know what you were you were pretty mad you were very angry
spk_0
The game was traded in the game then became worth a lot of money later on because it wasn't yep printed in many and luckily
spk_0
That problem has since yeah, you know I fucked myself and it but what would you?
spk_0
I still have my copy
spk_0
I actually dug it out to show the children that it was not a new game at one point
spk_0
It's a 20 year old game in fact gets sure is
spk_0
20 years old so
spk_0
Yeah, so we're both playing that I am pretty early on I played it when I traveled to Chicago for work
spk_0
So I'm like in the first five or six hours where you're like halfway through though
spk_0
I'm more than halfway through so there's seven stars that you have to get right and I
spk_0
What I said right seven? Oh, yeah, yeah seven stars that you have to get
spk_0
And I have gotten six of them so oh wow after the last star
spk_0
Well, I have I have a podcast on it next weekend
spk_0
So I kind of had to power down a little bit and I was planning on playing it anyway
spk_0
So I mean I was just I'm just probably playing it a little bit more than I would be considering the other crap that I'm playing
spk_0
But we'll talk about that in a little bit. Yeah, I don't I don't remember
spk_0
I remember like the overarching story beats I remember bosses
spk_0
I don't remember much of the like beat by beat of this game
spk_0
So it all feels new to me. I'm like I don't remember, you know, I mean it's so long
spk_0
It's a Mario game, you know or a Mario RPG game
spk_0
You go and you collect all of the trinkets to stop the bad from happening and also
spk_0
There's there always he's always there. I
spk_0
Really think the writing in these is clever though, you know
spk_0
It's like it's funny. So yeah genuinely funny and I I have relatively recently replayed
spk_0
Paper Mario the first paper Mario the n64 game
spk_0
oh yes and
spk_0
Like just using that as a comparison point also an excellent game
spk_0
but thousand year door has kind of attained this like
spk_0
really
spk_0
Important status for a lot of people who are around at the time and you know or our paper Mario like older fans
spk_0
older fans will remember uh-huh, but
spk_0
But like you can really see that in playing this one just because like
spk_0
The the stages that you go through and kind of all of the stuff that you do
spk_0
has a lot more variance and there's like you know because there's one section where you are
spk_0
On a train and you have to solve mysteries basically
spk_0
Yeah, and then there's another section where you're going through a pirate ship
spk_0
And there's one where you're in a tree and you have all these little dudes who you have to you know
spk_0
Limming's a like or whatever
spk_0
So yeah, it has they have a lot of ideas, but they really carry through on those ideas and I appreciate that
spk_0
So I have been very impressed. Yeah, I think it's a toss up for me of a favorite between this paper Mario and
spk_0
It's not a paper Mario game, but Mario RPG the superstar saga the first of the GBA
spk_0
Oh, yes, that one is an exceptional game also and they're like it's a real toss up for me
spk_0
I think superstar saga came out first and I have a thing and I had a real fondness for that story in that game
spk_0
Yeah, but this one's real good and I'm glad I'm replaying it 20 years later. Jesus Christ. It's yeah
spk_0
I'm gonna finish it this time because I'm an adult
spk_0
And that's what we do we know we don't we don't I
spk_0
Will say you know I have been
spk_0
Uncontrollably vomiting because it's only 30 frames per second. Oh, no, you can't
spk_0
Oh God, what are you gonna do like how are you gonna live if it's not 120 frames unlocked?
spk_0
With with the uncontrollable vomiting like I said, you gotta get out the Taco Bell tart for that
spk_0
It's you know you got a hydration is really important. Yes. Make sure you drink your prime. I mean
spk_0
God, I can't I literally maybe if I
spk_0
So I still have one of those things in my fridge and like I I could not finish the first one
spk_0
I took like three sips and I was like I this is too much. I can't
spk_0
So maybe if I actually watered it down like maybe if I or mixed it with like spray or something, you know what what my
spk_0
I wife I can't do it. I was listening to a live stream of Miss Mary Kish and
spk_0
She said no one drinks prime only 12 year olds and Dan Riker drink prime and my wife is sitting next to me drinking prime and
spk_0
That exact moment and I almost lost my mind
spk_0
She buys the powdered version and waters it down by a third
spk_0
Because it's so sweet. I just wanted to try it, you know, and they had like two for five dollars or two for six dollars
spk_0
Or whatever it was at the wall. So I bought two of them and then one of them is still sitting in my fridge
spk_0
So it's not my favorite in bottled form. It's okay in powder. Yeah
spk_0
I just put put vodka in it man. Just cut your losses, right?
spk_0
That's not a bad idea actually just vodka that up with some lemon juice
spk_0
Everything gets fixed by both things can be fixed
spk_0
Yeah, that's true. Yeah, okay. I'm gonna think about that maybe next week we'll be ruminate on that a bit. I um
spk_0
I will ruminate on paper Mario. I have been playing Tetris 99 kind of off and on I have been like
spk_0
anxious and stress and
spk_0
anxious and stressed and Tetris is a game like when I feel that way
spk_0
Well, they had a new event too. So you know who I am right like
spk_0
I'm the second anxiety hits me. I have hard time starting something new or playing something complicated
spk_0
So I latch onto games that like short circuit the thinking part of my brain and just make me do on autopilot
spk_0
And this is one of those games so every time I play it I just kind of like
spk_0
Zone out for better words and I do that with um
spk_0
Uh
spk_0
Oh, that makes sense. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. See you understand. It's that. So I do rock band will also be like that
spk_0
But I like playing that with with somebody else. So you know, yeah
spk_0
Um, what else are you playing tell me of your accolades?
spk_0
Uh, so I can't remember if I had already started this uh
spk_0
Last time we recorded or not um if I had I wasn't very far yet. So I'm playing
spk_0
Final fantasy seven rebirth. Okay, um and every time that I say the title of this game
spk_0
I have to stop and think about it for a second. Like remake. No. No. It's not that one. It's the other one um
spk_0
I did relatively re well very recently actually finished a replay of um remake the first part
spk_0
Um on my steam deck in preparation kind of for playing. Okay. That's right. Yep. Yep
spk_0
Just because that's the person that I am um so I'm
spk_0
Hey
spk_0
90 some hours into rebirth now um
spk_0
It's that there's a lot of game there like I have heard it's like 80 to 100 hours maybe like is that true?
spk_0
Maybe too much good question mark. Well, I'm uh yeah, I well, so you
spk_0
A lot of it they they made an assassin's career kind of or a far cry
spk_0
There are literal towers that you climb and mother fucking Chadly that little bitch is there and is always in your ear
spk_0
Like hey, hey go gather intel for me and you're like shut up. I'm trying to do stuff. God Chadly
spk_0
But anyway, there's a ton of that shit and I don't
spk_0
You probably don't have to do very much of it
spk_0
To actually play through the game. I don't think it's all that difficult. I it's gonna kind of depend on how you felt about remake
spk_0
Because you know, it's basically the same. There are some
spk_0
Minor changes combat wise, but it's you know pretty much the same thing
spk_0
So if you didn't have a whole lot of trouble with that then you're not gonna have a lot of trouble with this
spk_0
But I am of course the person who needs all of the things checked off and needs to 100
spk_0
I got the trophy last night for finishing all of the cyclists so oh
spk_0
You know, um oh my god, listen, I I have a problem. I'm aware of it and I'm not working on it at all
spk_0
But I yeah, so I'm in I'm in chapter
spk_0
13
spk_0
I just started chapter 13 and I believe the last chapter is 14
spk_0
But like I said, I finished all the side quests. There's like
spk_0
There's one big kind of chunky side activity that is a thread through the whole game. I'm not gonna spoil it
spk_0
But um, I'm about to go finish that up
spk_0
Which is not like an official side quest, I guess because you know already got that trophy
spk_0
But um, it's it's a big thing
spk_0
And then I am pretty much just gonna be story lining it to the end of the game
spk_0
Um, so I don't know how much longer I have really but like time wise, but um, I'm I'm rolling up towards the end of that game
spk_0
I think I will probably I think I will probably end up somewhere in the
spk_0
Very Christmas are you serious? Oh
spk_0
My god, I hate it so I hate it so much
spk_0
Yes, yeah, well, I'm I'm already at like 90 something so oh my god. All right, well Jesus
spk_0
I'll be sure to clear my calendar for four weeks when I get to that game good christ
spk_0
I mean yeah, if you really actually want to dig into this game there is a lot there and it can feel overwhelming like I'm not
spk_0
I'm not really prepared to say what I like this game or not um
spk_0
I I mean, I okay, so yes, I do like it. I will I will say that yes. I do like it. I don't know that I love it
spk_0
I think it might have some pace while you definitely have some pacing problems
spk_0
I'm not sure how much that affects my ultimate opinion
spk_0
But I guess we'll see once I finish it up and you know, I'm able to kind of look back at it
spk_0
It's just it's not even all it's not even the whole story. There's still one it not probably one more game. No like
spk_0
It yes, they are saying one more game
spk_0
I think that they could have done to probably just kind of being able to see where this one is gonna end
spk_0
um
spk_0
So that's gonna be one hell of a third game
spk_0
Yeah, I don't know there's there's
spk_0
Weird pacing all over this this remake um, and I'm so glad it exists
spk_0
I I've said this before but I was listen I have been listening to our very early episodes um
spk_0
From you know sweet pieces years ago and us talking about
spk_0
Remakes that we never that we think are never gonna get made and final fantasy seven is one of the ones where I'm like
spk_0
I would really like this we're like does never gonna happen um
spk_0
I still think it's crazy that they did this like I still it still blows my mind that they're absolutely and
spk_0
Did they announce a date from the third installment?
spk_0
Is it next year? Are we at next year this month?
spk_0
I don't think they have announced a date they have said that the
spk_0
Like very base level work is pretty much done
spk_0
But I'm not sure what that means like does that mean that the animation's done does I mean that you know
spk_0
You need to find two things or and do voice acting. I have no clue
spk_0
um, but yeah, I I would guess
spk_0
I would guess I mean that's about right. I still that's nuts like I haven't played all of remake yet
spk_0
And I'm gonna need to go back and do that obviously before I do this
spk_0
Yeah, yeah, I wish the story if you won't
spk_0
And it's like it's such a weird thing
spk_0
At like remake even like really like pounding into the the side stuff on remake remake is maybe a 50 hour gain if you do
spk_0
Yeah, literally everything like it is not it is not as long. It's nowhere near as long
spk_0
It almost feels like remake was them going do people actually want us to do this or not
spk_0
You know, and then rebirth was like oh no, they do they do and we have to finish it now
spk_0
Do you know what I mean like they don't have a choice
spk_0
Yeah, so much game. It's so much game. It is I am 41 years old like it is hard right now
spk_0
It's hard out here for a bitch to finish a game. That is long
spk_0
so
spk_0
You're 41
spk_0
Yeah, you and other partners that I have you know how this goes I had that I had that moment where I was like
spk_0
Wait a minute you're young
spk_0
You know you're not my joints only hurt a little bit less so you know
spk_0
Yeah, I mean that's the first part of being in the 40s when you wake up in the morning and you hurt from sleeping like wrong
spk_0
Fuck yeah, I see I see I fell asleep with a one degree bending my neck. Well, it won't be moving that for the whole day tomorrow
spk_0
You know fucking
spk_0
Don't get old kids. Only the good die young. That's all I'm saying
spk_0
Um, all right. What else are you playing? Yeah?
spk_0
So
spk_0
There's one other thing uh, well there's a there's a bunch of other things but one other big thing
spk_0
And it is a game called paranoia site
spk_0
Uh, I should have looked up the
spk_0
Title oh god. It has a sub title. Is it one of those sub title last games? Oh, of course it does
spk_0
Uh, paranoia site the seven mysteries of that. I don't know why I just do okay of course it is of course
spk_0
um
spk_0
So okay, so I don't how do you feel about it depends on my mood?
spk_0
I do like them. I just have to be in the mood to play one. Okay, that's the general role
spk_0
So this is something that I don't know you might enjoy it um, you might enjoy playing it with your wife
spk_0
um, maybe because it's like it is partially visual novel and partially like kind of mystery sort of game
spk_0
And partially horror game and you know, it's so you play um as a several different characters
spk_0
And they all are in this one um just kind of city area and somebody has set loose this um, this
spk_0
Curse I think they call it the procession of shadows
spk_0
And what that has done is that has generated the seven curse sure yes and each um
spk_0
Each one of these curse stones are
spk_0
Helped by a person who it can use them and when you use them you gather
spk_0
You like basically charge them up
spk_0
Um, when you use them to kill people. Yes, yes, yes, are killing people um
spk_0
And then if you fully power up your stone then you can use it to do this right of resurrection
spk_0
So everybody who has one of these stones
spk_0
Uh is like has somebody that they think they want to resurrect and you know, that's the game is about
spk_0
Finding who has the stones and what their deal is and uh, are they actually killing people and you know, it's it's it's
spk_0
I'm doing a really bad job explaining it, but it is it is a neat
spk_0
Way to kind of go about things and it uses the I'm playing it on steam deck. I'm playing it on my uh
spk_0
commute and it's really kind of
spk_0
Maybe not the best place to play that game because it does have jump scares and sometimes I'm sitting here with like my
spk_0
My you know headphones plugged in and I'm like staring at my steam deck and something will happen
spk_0
And I'll just like fucking jump out of my skin and everybody on the train is looking at me like I'm playing on the tree. Oh
spk_0
Oh boy. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm playing on the train
spk_0
um
spk_0
So yeah, it's like I said, I'm doing I'm doing a really bad job explaining it
spk_0
But it is a visual novel with horror elements and mystery solving stuff
spk_0
With kind of an interesting Japanese culture uh slant to it
spk_0
Um, yeah, it's it's kind of quirky like you know, it'll do things like oh this curse is um
spk_0
Uh
spk_0
Something where anybody who hears this person saw or this um demon's song will uh
spk_0
Will immediately
spk_0
Die and their eyeballs will turn to jelly and that's I'm I'm making that part up that didn't happen um
spk_0
That sounds great though and also you but but like and then the solution for that thing will be
spk_0
You have to go into your settings and turn the sound turn your uh not your sound off
spk_0
But like turn the voices off for uh one particular weird
spk_0
So it's got to be that stuff in it and it's neat
spk_0
Yeah, yeah, and it's not overly punishing if you get something wrong like you you can start things over pretty
spk_0
Quickly and you know skip through stuff you've already read and um you get sort of hints along the way
spk_0
So it's uh yeah, I'm I'm enjoying it
spk_0
Paranormous site is that sounds cool. I think I'm gonna is that that's steam. I will
spk_0
It is steam. I don't think it's on any consoles currently um, but it works really well on steam deck. So um, that's what I think perfect
spk_0
Oh
spk_0
Speaking of a hardware handheld hardware. I started I got my raw g ally to work with uh
spk_0
With uh, you know the game pass games. Yes. It's such a stupid reason like okay
spk_0
So I installed everything booted up game pass and he wouldn't launch a game right and it turns out like the default settings of that thing are not to automatically
spk_0
Sync time to Microsoft servers. So as soon as you fix that the game automatically booted it just didn't know what day
spk_0
It was okay. It's so weird. So I got that I've been I've been playing thirsty suitors. Yes on your recommendation
spk_0
It's pretty rad really like it so far
spk_0
It's got a great vibe. I've been switching between my like um
spk_0
Desktop PC and and the ROG. Yeah, Ally, which works pretty well like
spk_0
Thanks steam. I only played it on on the ROG ally um, so I that I like that it uh is
spk_0
Transferable like that. I don't play much on because I mean my laptop is just not built for gaming um, so most of the
spk_0
PC stuff that I do is through the steam deck
spk_0
Um, and I don't think thirsty suitors is a especially demanding game or nothing like that so
spk_0
But still, you know, I have all these handhelds that I need to use them and like so for a while
spk_0
I would play on a console and angel would play on the steam deck that a gamer
spk_0
But then I was like I think I want to buy a standing desk because it's I can't like the ADHD is so strong lately
spk_0
I think it's like a whole parry menopause thing
spk_0
So I bought a sit stand desk for me and then I got one for her next to me
spk_0
So I gave her the older gaming laptop
spk_0
I have and actually started booting up my PC more so we play games kind of side by side now and that's kind of nice
spk_0
So I know super gross and I can like put my desk to standing height when I just need to fucking move man, you know, so
spk_0
It's really good for when you're taking your therapy calls
spk_0
So you're not like be jeeting with your fingernails because you can't sit still
spk_0
I have a little hand roller thingies
spk_0
I mean, it's it's not a fidget spinner, but it's essentially the same idea and I
spk_0
It's very I like using that on work calls and on therapy calls. Yeah. Yeah, I'm work calls
spk_0
I I wish I had something right and so I stand up and then I kind of fidget um
spk_0
I think I need to get a walking pad for when I'm standing so I'm moving my legs because like
spk_0
I just need to move man lately. I don't know what my deal is, but that's what I need so
spk_0
But that's the only other game that I'm really playing right now
spk_0
I really want to get back to I really actually okay, this is gonna sound so bad. Here we go
spk_0
I kind of want to get back into destiny too. Of course you do because that new content looks pretty good
spk_0
I can't go back to destiny. I know I know you can't I'm not asking you to
spk_0
I'm gonna play the campaign stuff solo or I'll just team up with other people I see online
spk_0
But I do think I want to pick up that new DLC. So that might be my my to-do list this week
spk_0
I mean Tetris 99 has to get replaced by something equally unhealthy, right? Yeah, so I
spk_0
I've mentioned before that I'm playing Dragon Age Origins and I still have not finished it, but I think I'm getting close
spk_0
But that is I pretty much exclusively play that while I'm on I'm walking on my treadmill
spk_0
So once I do finish that I don't know where I'm gonna go from there Dragon Age 2
spk_0
Yeah, I guess why wouldn't you well? I mean the
spk_0
This is a great transition because we're gonna talk about summer games fest because that's happening this weekend
spk_0
And I was just peeking into the Xbox event and if you haven't watched it
spk_0
I won't really spoil it for you, but they did give it a date
spk_0
They did give it this year date for the new dragon quest like the new dragon age title
spk_0
What's it called now? I know they changed it because dreadful of something something veil
spk_0
I don't know something it looks good red wolf
spk_0
Yeah, I did like that way better, but it's it's fine
spk_0
So the whole reason that I actually started playing the dragon age games to begin with is because I have it
spk_0
I have a podcast on Dragon Age
spk_0
What's the third inquisition inquisition is the third in the other two yeah, so like I
spk_0
I don't necessarily have to play the first two, but I would like to because again that is the person that I am so I
spk_0
And also they're on game pass so like you know, right?
spk_0
You'll be brilliantly set up to play the new one because you will just come off of inquisition and it looks good
spk_0
It looked it looked very pretty
spk_0
So let's talk summer games fest. What if you watch so far you watch the initial
spk_0
I just watched keelies
spk_0
Okay, so I've watched keelies. I've watched the wholesome direct with my wife because that's her jam
spk_0
Yeah, okay, those games are 100% her vibe if they if you will the kids are saying it
spk_0
And then we I watched most of the Xbox event today and some of the future games show which is like a PC games
spk_0
Yeah, one look like
spk_0
Let's talk about the show you be both watched. There's some other stuff out there, but let's talk about keelies
spk_0
To do like how did you feel about that whole thing? It was longer than I thought it needed to be what the fuck
spk_0
Well, he had time to fit in that whole section of ads
spk_0
um
spk_0
There were a lot of ads and uh
spk_0
Like I mean get it like trailers are basically ads anyway, but like
spk_0
You don't really have to go for the door dash ads like
spk_0
No, they went in hard with it, but also it so I watched the wholesome direct and in lieu of that
spk_0
They were like maybe you should send aid to the kids in Palestine. Yeah, three times
spk_0
And that was yeah, that was uh
spk_0
They like for for went all ads and went in heavy on that which I thought was you know, yeah
spk_0
Probably yeah
spk_0
Instead of keelies doing like one throwaway line about hey, yeah our industry really sucks hot anyway
spk_0
This thing is awesome because I'm getting paid for as my Doritos had
spk_0
You remember those pictures of hit with the Doritos on it with the most angry face of all time
spk_0
Yes, I do. I will never forget those pictures someone who listens to this should like totally tweet them to us
spk_0
Just to remind everybody um
spk_0
He he like the one good thing related to any of that is that the folks the two wonderful people who made among us
spk_0
Yes, basically started a fund for indie game devs to give them money to make their games
spk_0
They did the shit that he should be doing to be perfectly and to be perfectly honest
spk_0
Then they were very excited to be there and able to to support like I don't know something in the realm of five to ten games
spk_0
That they showed trailers for yeah, and I was really happy to see that that made my heart happy because it's just been a year man
spk_0
It's been a year even the bloom house stuff like that they're not you know that that's different obviously because it's not just
spk_0
Like them funding things be out of the goodness of their hearts, you know, but like
spk_0
it's it's
spk_0
The bloom house model is one that does not always work, but I right I do
spk_0
Like it because it means that some things
spk_0
Get a chance that probably wouldn't have otherwise agree and and the fact that they are
spk_0
Trying to bring this to games. I hope it works out because like it a lot of the stuff that they showed
spk_0
You know minimal though what they showed kind of was I will play like all of those because that's incredibly my jam
spk_0
I I don't really give a shit about what Jason Bloom has to say but show me the games
spk_0
Yes, and they showed some great looking creepy ass jellers, and I was pretty excited about that
spk_0
So that was pretty dope. I was excited about those games like I'm trying to think back on even what the big stuff that was announced was it's like
spk_0
I'm pulling up a like they announced oh this was a weird one like they opened the show right?
spk_0
With Lego horizon adventures. Oh, right. What the why would you open a show with that like why money?
spk_0
Well, like oh, it's so money and Sony paid them off because this is a Sony exclusive title
spk_0
I'm get I think I am actually also getting a little bit conflated in my mind about things that happened at the Sony
spk_0
State of playing the week before yeah, and what happened in keelie's things
spk_0
I'm like well they announced that weird thing that looks like overwatch. What's it called? Oh my god
spk_0
Oh, I forget, but it doesn't matter because it's just overwatch. Yeah exactly. Yes, but anyway
spk_0
Then they announced the quidditch champions thing which I don't care, but I mean
spk_0
There are people who care if you not use specifically
spk_0
No, that's not much more power to those people who do I guess I hope it's good. They showed more of Star Wars outlaws
spk_0
That's a game. It's out this summer that I'm really looking forward to because I'm kind of tired of Star Wars games
spk_0
Where I'm a Jedi like I'm overplaying the fucking white night Jedi. Do you know what I mean? I can't
spk_0
They announced Civ 7 which uh-huh, and they announced a dragon ball game and angel was sitting next to me
spk_0
And she just goes do they just always look like the same game and I'm like yes
spk_0
Pretty much. Yeah, it's called dragon ball colon sparkling
spk_0
exclamation point zero
spk_0
Fuck Japan. I think it's sparking
spk_0
Not sparking it is sparking I like sparkling better. I like sparkling better
spk_0
Um, they showed some street fighter stuff
spk_0
They showed a power rangers beat him up, which I'm very that look kind of awesome actually. I'm so into it
spk_0
So you know what you know what it reminded me of is that um that Ninja Turtles beat him up
spk_0
Shredders revenge. Yes, is it the same people? I don't know but it really looked like it looks like it was or the like the what was it streets of rage for kind of vibe
spk_0
You know like it's yeah, I like those games. I think they're fun. You know what I mean? I just um
spk_0
I'm like looking for shit that oh you know what here's the big story you know what the big story is
spk_0
Fucking Sam Lake wallsep on screen with that ridiculous ass beautiful
spk_0
shirt and said you want DLC. It's coming out tomorrow bitch. So that's what happens that was exciting
spk_0
I downloaded that I haven't played it yet. I think that's what I'm gonna play after I finish rebirth
spk_0
My my non-podcast game of at post rebirth
spk_0
Yeah, so but yeah, I I loved um Alan wake 2 and control
spk_0
Yes, yeah, I'm excited to play those little like one-off chapters
spk_0
I like the way they did that DLC because you don't feel like you have to play through the whole story of this game again
spk_0
You're just getting little pieces. Yeah, I was I wasn't sure whether they I mean is that just like a
spk_0
So when they did the DLC for one it was all just separate stuff like you literally didn't have to touch
spk_0
The the main story is it like that in this as well? I get the impression. Yes. I haven't booted it up yet
spk_0
So I did it seems like the way that they introduced it as like episodes of night springs
spk_0
Um, they're you know fictional Twilight Zone thing. Um, it seems like it would be but I haven't I haven't booted it up either
spk_0
So and it's pretty cheap like the the upgrade if you already own Alan wake then the upgrade path was is
spk_0
$20. Oh, and it's on sale right now for 16 perfect
spk_0
That's what 20% off on a launch. That's a good discount. Oh, yeah, all right
spk_0
Um, I'm kind of flipping through some of the stuff the stuff that we would care about slitter head which is made by the Silent Hill creator
spk_0
Yeah, yama so they uh they announced that forever. Yes. Yes, but they showed it now
spk_0
I'm glad that it actually still exists because it looks very much like my jam me to it's out in November
spk_0
Which I was surprised by which is great. It's out in spooky season to me
spk_0
You know what it means in that
spk_0
Window of spookiness. So that's exciting. Like until dawn's remaster is out in that window also. I believe yes
spk_0
Which October I think yeah, I might be wrong about it. I think it's out before Halloween
spk_0
So yeah, so that's cool like I'm still flipping teams in the snow now in 4k
spk_0
They showed more monster hunter wilds. It's interesting
spk_0
They showed it actually before that they showed it at I think they showed that at the Sony thing
spk_0
Yeah, yeah, I think they closed with that but what they chose to open with here is that it's going to be cross play across all platforms
spk_0
Yeah, which that is fascinating to me finally like you know like I
spk_0
I have been playing um, I didn't mention this because um, I can't remember if I've mentioned it before
spk_0
but I've been playing um see of thieves with uh rich right who is
spk_0
Playing it on the playstation because it can't you know it finally came out on playstation um and I
spk_0
was like I don't
spk_0
Buy myself. I have not been really interested in see of thieves like it's not something I want to sit down and play by myself
spk_0
But it seems like fun co-op right so it's on game pass
spk_0
So I do have an Xbox he does not and so I've been playing the game pass version on Xbox and he's been playing the playstation version works flawlessly
spk_0
I like that. We have had zero problem
spk_0
We've had more problems with with go-op stuff. We've played just on both on playstation that we've had with this game
spk_0
I that's crazy. Yeah works great
spk_0
So I but I like that they led with this for because war the thing I have with world is I wanted cross progression cross play
spk_0
And I don't know if they're saying cross progression, but cross play is happening
spk_0
Um, yes, because I want to be able to like I would rather boot it up on PC
spk_0
But a lot of people I know won't play it on PC
spk_0
So it works like exactly so it works awesome this way because I get to play it with you
spk_0
And I can buy it on my preferred like you know console for this thing
spk_0
So gotta remember when we dragged a playstation and an Xbox out to that cabin and played we played
spk_0
In the middle of the world shit out of monster hunter out so much of it um
spk_0
We also dragged the playstation out to Boston and you fished in near for many days many days
spk_0
Yes, I sure did it. No, that wasn't near. That was final fantasy. Oh, you're right. It was final fantasy
spk_0
I was final fantasy
spk_0
It was um that was the biggest the tomatoes were the kind of big ones. There's some other stuff in mixed in there
spk_0
But it was like long it's a lot of indie stuff. Yes, which is um, which is great. I mean, I don't need a ton of you know
spk_0
Just just I like big games sure, but it's neat when you know
spk_0
There's kind of a law in the big game cycle so that some of these smaller games get the chance to
spk_0
Be shown I like that. I like that. I like that. I like if you're watching like the wholesome direct which happens the next day
spk_0
A lot of the games announced and that had immediate demos on steam
spk_0
They've been doing a ton of that the future game show was doing a ton of that too
spk_0
There's whole sections on steam front page store page for those like collections
spk_0
So you can kind of like you know immediately play a demo
spk_0
I don't do that because I want to play like it just makes me want to play the full game and it always feels frustrating
spk_0
Yeah, so
spk_0
But it's cool
spk_0
It I do not frequently do demos or
spk_0
Early access stuff unless it's like you know
spk_0
Early access you know, you know how some games are early access kind of a name only and they're pretty much done anyway
spk_0
Sometimes like that's what peglin is yeah, and I've been playing a lot of well. I haven't recently, but I played a lot of peglin
spk_0
um
spk_0
But yeah, I don't I don't typically do that kind of stuff because it's either
spk_0
There's gonna be a gap if they if the demo connects to the game and like, you know
spk_0
I'm gonna be trying to pick up from something that I don't remember playing or only sort of remember playing or
spk_0
I'm gonna have to play that part again
spk_0
When I've already played it if it doesn't connect so like yeah
spk_0
Long-winded way of saying yes, I agree. Yeah, I like playing early access games. I don't like playing demos
spk_0
There's is kind of a line for me there. It I don't always love playing early access games certain
spk_0
ones I will entertain sure should say um
spk_0
Have you played any of Hades? So yeah a little bit I I really like the first Hades. This is just more of that goodness
spk_0
Like if you like that you're gonna like this is pretty it's I played Hades through early access also
spk_0
So I was fine with yeah, that that was what made me think of it because I know I know a lot of people did
spk_0
I didn't play Hades until considerably later um
spk_0
Like it was did I play in the Xbox? I think I played it in the Xbox um
spk_0
but um
spk_0
Yeah, I mean it I know that it's been through a number of things
spk_0
I think I can wait on Hades too like I really want to play it but I don't I don't want to do a I don't want to do early access on this one
spk_0
I want the whole game to be there when I decide that I'm going into it. I do you have it more of a tendency and more of a time
spk_0
Like allowance to like binge harder than I do
spk_0
So early access actually kind of works for me because it's not that much of it and I can't play that much of it at once
spk_0
So it's okay most of the time right
spk_0
Especially for games that are hard kind of like those games so hard or roguelikes
spk_0
so
spk_0
I watched through the wholesome direct there was eight like 70 games that were shown in that thing
spk_0
Uh, how long was it an hour they went hard they went hard
spk_0
There's so much stuff that I'm not even gonna sit here and list it all it's worth watching if you really like cozy quiet games
spk_0
There's good stuff. I felt like there was something kind of for everybody in there
spk_0
um
spk_0
The Xbox event was kind of interesting and I only watched the first half they opened with Call of Duty as you do
spk_0
You know like
spk_0
Yeah, I mean I do you want to watch it or do you mind if I like give you a couple of okay? Oh, I don't care
spk_0
I can spoil I probably will not well
spk_0
I think you should probably see the trailer for the new doom they announced
spk_0
Um, it's called okay. Is this the the like um yeah, it's called doom the dark ages
spk_0
So I guess the doom slayer is going back in time it's coming out next year
spk_0
Yeah, yeah, I had heard like vague
spk_0
Things about I'd like I knew that it was me and that's a pretty cool vibe. I mean it looks like doom
spk_0
It looks great and then they went they showed state of decay three
spk_0
So I guess they're just gonna do a third one of those which
spk_0
Yeah, those games are like really popular. Why wouldn't you do a third one of those right? So yeah
spk_0
I've never touched a state of decay game
spk_0
Yeah, I know I know that they are they make them a lot of you fans of genre will know oh god vomit
spk_0
The Dragon Age game is called veil guard veil guard. I liked the other one
spk_0
I did so I also like the other one better, but you know, I don't really care also
spk_0
Yeah, I want to play I want to play it name is not dark and darker lia that is a game that was announced dark
spk_0
All right. Yeah, sometimes sometimes names do matter and dark and darker is a dumb thing
spk_0
It is any worse than infinite undiscovered which remains the worst video game name to me of maybe all time
spk_0
There's a cat about that. Stand by stand by get oh
spk_0
Yeah, I'm sorry. She doesn't she wants to be on the podcast. She's mad at me
spk_0
I think mine is mine is ready to fight me
spk_0
Dark and darker was real dumb. They announced Starfield DLC, which actually looks like something you might like it kind of looks spooky
spk_0
Creepy that's coming out at some point
spk_0
I would like to play Starfield at some point anyway because I know it's on game pass like I know it wasn't
spk_0
Really right a lot of people were hoping for but I don't really have any
spk_0
I started I will go back to it for this DLC this DLC looks like very much my jam. So I will go back to it for that
spk_0
Cool, and there's some newer updates stuff coming out today for that or this week for that
spk_0
But that that thing is before the end of the year shatter in space
spk_0
It's called they're putting new stuff and fallout 76 color me completely unsurprised
spk_0
Because you know
spk_0
obviously
spk_0
Because that TV show everybody went right
spk_0
They they what's the newest follows 76 sure sure
spk_0
They announced some other games that are kind of new ones. They announced new DLC for World of Warcraft
spk_0
Because you know the war within you know they
spk_0
You know what else I know
spk_0
Never never like I wish that I could get into Final Fantasy 14. I just can't
spk_0
Because I well because I know I know what I'm like
spk_0
Yes, and I know that if I got into an if I got into an MMO right now
spk_0
it would
spk_0
It would pretty much break me um, so
spk_0
I have other podcasts that I need to play games for I hear you, you know, I I don't want to just play that one game
spk_0
I hear you I the only the other things that I
spk_0
I've been there. I've done that and I told it to do it again
spk_0
It's interesting what else they're doing here. They like they showed a bunch of remakes at this point kind of like the metal gear solid delta
spk_0
They showed more of that they still haven't they still haven't did they did it. Okay. I was kind of surprised that was a surprise by that too
spk_0
Sea of thieves they showed the next season, which is happening this summer
spk_0
um
spk_0
Did they show any of
spk_0
Kajima's other thing? I don't know whether he's whether that's an Xbox thing or not. I'm not sure
spk_0
I think that was it. I didn't get all the way through this presentation
spk_0
So I got up to where they shard showed the new trailer for perfect dark
spk_0
So they showed a new trailer for perfect car. Okay, still no date. They showed a remake for Age of mythology
spk_0
Which was Age of Empires, but and I loved that game. So I'm excited about that. I'm pretty I'm pretty poms
spk_0
I didn't play it, but I remember you know, and then they showed some more stuff
spk_0
I did get to the point where they showed Diablo IVs like vessel of hatred expansion
spk_0
So they're adding an expansion. It's sure like yes, it was very popular
spk_0
Do you know what I mean like yeah, there was a peat there was a game announced that you probably want to see the trailer for
spk_0
I think you would probably want to see the new
spk_0
Oh
spk_0
Oh god, what is the words that I want right now it is
spk_0
Life is strange. There's a new life is strange
spk_0
So they're going to they showed that they showed some other things. So that might be worth checking out
spk_0
That presentation was good
spk_0
Yeah, maybe I will I mean this sounds interesting. I will probably watch that at some point. I yeah, I need to have
spk_0
You too, but there was very little I'm doing other shit. So showmanship. It was just trailer after trailer
spk_0
And this is something I think that Microsoft does pretty well. They don't yeah, they just shut up and get out of the games way, you know, so
spk_0
Yeah, like
spk_0
You know, my favorite man he just just
spk_0
Just dude. I just if I hear
spk_0
Like I know that he I know that he has done really good things for the industry
spk_0
And I know that he is doing his job and making money the way that he needs to make money in order to get this show made and I don't care
spk_0
I it too much. Do you know what I mean? It's like so much. So yeah, I could do without that. I could do without it
spk_0
Phil Spencer is another person who problems that I have with him aside
spk_0
But like he's a person who can do all of that shit and make me greatly hate him, you know
spk_0
Like I understand that he's also doing his job and making money and everything but like
spk_0
He fakes being a real person a lot better true truth truth truth truth
spk_0
We are almost done with this podcast and I want to know this is actually episode 105 not 106. I'm an idiot. That's okay
spk_0
Yeah
spk_0
You're not an idiot. I mean
spk_0
Well the episode title would be correct, but my idiocy in the beginning will be incorrect. You choose your own adventure kids. I blame cats
spk_0
Cat stepped on the vocal chords. Don't know what to tell you. Yeah. Yeah, I got those
spk_0
Teenagers that's what they are
spk_0
Why okay, yeah, that's not where I mean they eat all your butt. Yes out from under you, you know cut my life into pieces
spk_0
This is my last resort. So man. Yeah, uh-huh
spk_0
Yeah, yep. Yeah, that's that's a problem
spk_0
I don't I think that's all that I have like sort of dipped into for summer games. Fested you have anything else that you saw come around that you wanted to chat about
spk_0
No, I don't think so I have a couple of things that I will probably um
spk_0
Go ahead and and go in and watch um
spk_0
Because like I said, I've really I really only fully watched that that opening night thing
spk_0
Yeah, I mean it's we'll say
spk_0
There's a lot of them that turns out they like video games um I don't love the video game industry at the current juncture
spk_0
But I really like playing video games that is all I got that's what I got um
spk_0
I don't believe we have any listener mail this week
spk_0
But if you want to send us listener mail, let me tell you how to do that you can go to some other podcast at gmail.com send your message there
spk_0
You could tweet ET dragon or improbable 42 or you can like tweet some other castle
spk_0
Or you can find us on threads or Instagram you'll find us if you pop on Instagram
spk_0
We might upload a picture of some cats cats
spk_0
We'll find you on the internet. Okay. I'll find you watch out what what
spk_0
Oh
spk_0
I do sort of got if I read one more email that says I hope the email finds you well. I'm never well
spk_0
Don't email me. I'd be better if you didn't
spk_0
Well, I have you have you seen that that uh that
spk_0
Image of the I hope the email finds you well and it's got like a skeleton and he's on fire at his desk
spk_0
I have that on a t-shirt
spk_0
Because I just you know it turns out having a desk job um
spk_0
There are some problems with it and mostly those problems are I need to not I wish I could just not receive you
spk_0
One of the strengths from the talk at all. I would get so much more work. That would be awesome
spk_0
but
spk_0
Sometimes I I look like I'm offline on teams because teams is temperamental and weird and I'm like
spk_0
Oh, man everybody's leaving me alone and then I realized that that's because my
spk_0
Status says that I am not there
spk_0
Uh, and I think for a minute. Oh, yeah, they make you have to turn it down. I don't know. I hate it. Thanks. I hate it
spk_0
Thanks. I hate it. Yeah. Um, I love video games. I hate the video game industry and I hate teams
spk_0
I think the source of all my anxiety is the team's phone calls. Yep
spk_0
Right like I hear that sound and I was green
spk_0
loudly
spk_0
I hear that sound way too often that's some bullshit
spk_0
Like that's nope. Nope. There are rules. Yeah. I know I fortunately. I am not at work on Friday for the next two weeks
spk_0
So um good that that will be good. I mean
spk_0
I just need to not good
spk_0
Um, I think that's gonna do it this week my friend. I think we did it. We're gonna go
spk_0
We're gonna go babysit stats cats sits and make sure they don't ruin our lives. You're just hiding
spk_0
I'm gonna I'm gonna say I'm gonna peak behind my bookshelf. We're gonna see she's still there. Oh, I'm not gonna try
spk_0
I mean, I'm not gonna try and make her come out or anything like she can she needs to take her own time
spk_0
I think I probably will sleep in my recliner tonight just that sounds out here in case she you know
spk_0
Yeah, well, I have to go to work tomorrow and I wish that I did not have to actually go to the office, but I do
spk_0
um, so she's gonna I don't I don't want to be like she'll probably be happier without my house
spk_0
You like I don't know I expect this little demon to run across my face at 2 a.m. fully expect
spk_0
Knock something over cry freak out
spk_0
I expect to have at least 40 heart palpitations in in 12 hours. So this is gonna be fun for the next few dights
spk_0
And then we have to eventually introduce this cat to the dog. It's gonna be a whole party in my house. Comey zoo
spk_0
I thought you were gonna say introduce these cats to each other and I'm like I mean you know what no
spk_0
I don't know that way

spk_0
All right, that's gonna do it for us. We will catch you guys on the next episode
spk_0
You
spk_0
spk_0
Perfect. Great. My asshole cat has already been on the top of my arcade cabinet, fallen
spk_0
behind some boxes and scared at least one of my children and took one of her toys under
spk_0
the bed and never to show it to us again. My cat is hiding behind my bookshelf after I
spk_0
thought we were cool. I really did because she was hiding and kind of going around and
spk_0
like she poke out and like look around a little bit and you know then just kind of nod.
spk_0
Yes, this is what I expected and go back to hiding. And I thought she was cool because
spk_0
she came out and she was being real cute and like sleeping on the couch you know. And
spk_0
now she's back to hiding. So, my mind I'm going to send you an image. Oh yeah, I have
spk_0
extremely cursed picture as well. This is actually a good picture of what is happening
spk_0
in like currently. Like this is about to be at my current status because apparently this
spk_0
asshole already thinks she runs this place. Which is true. Okay. There you go. That's
spk_0
it for you. Oh, I actually texted. Oh, I like it. Oh, I sent mine in. This dick needs
spk_0
a mic like she needs a microphone. Yeah, she wants to go upstairs to try to meet the dog
spk_0
already. So she's adventurous. Oh God, that's what she is back there. How is she going
spk_0
to get out? Yeah. Well, so there's a so that's like on the corner, you know, piece. Oh
spk_0
yeah. And there is like it took me for it because I was I was making dinner and so I'm
spk_0
standing in the kitchen and she was like sitting just outside the kitchen and just kind of
spk_0
sitting, you know, she was just hanging out. And then like I came out a few minutes later
spk_0
and I didn't see her. So I'm like looking around. I'm like, you know, where is she looking,
spk_0
looking at the place that she's been hiding. And I'm like, where the fuck is this cat? I can't,
spk_0
I cannot have lost her already. There's only so many places she can be. So I'm looking behind
spk_0
the TV. I'm looking everywhere. And then she just and then she just hops out from back behind the
spk_0
book. Yeah. Right. Yes. What the hell? What's up? Oh, we're already at what the hell cat? That's good.
spk_0
That's great. Yeah. Mine's already like taking my wife's computer chair and think she runs this
spk_0
shit. But she likes all the kids and she's only like she's given me love nibbles. She's very sweet.
spk_0
I think I might have accidentally taught her to sit for free already. That's pretty good. Uh-huh.
spk_0
That's my new plan is to treat her like just a dickier dog. Right? Like I love her. I'm in love with
spk_0
this little tortellini Von Trouble. That's her fault. Uh-huh. So yeah, I the middle T is for trouble.
spk_0
I um yeah, I think I think my my girl is just a little a little more cautious, you know, she's
spk_0
she's yeah mine is reckless just like my my wife because it's not me. I'm I'm just an afraid of
spk_0
everything like I don't she's okay. So my wife went into the angel angel. Yes. Angel went into the
spk_0
laundry room behind me and the cat's not allowed back there because she tried to get into like the
spk_0
innards of the age back. So whatever. Um so now she's laying there staring waiting for this magical
spk_0
wall to open back up because she can't figure out how to make it work. Cats are fucking magical,
spk_0
dude. Like so oh man, this was so good. Uh-uh. Her kids came back first angels and her youngest.
spk_0
Like they sometimes they're allowed to they curse more at deaths, right? Because you know, as you do
spk_0
and um she's recording the kids reactions and her youngest just goes you got a fucking cat.
spk_0
Just 12 year old voice and it was so nice. So that's been our day. Yeah. Um I
spk_0
have a Dunkin Donuts hard beverage. So I have um yeah I guess I can eat these like in the outtakes
spk_0
so that I don't I don't choke or something. I don't know. Um so I I I intentionally gave myself a
spk_0
theme um because I saw okay. I don't remember what it was that I was actually looking for but I
spk_0
saw these Doritos uh and I'm like okay. These are Baja Blast Doritos. Uh I'm sorry. Oh let's talk
spk_0
about these. Yes. Byri mango. I think byri mango. I think I'm going to hate them. Um do it right
spk_0
now. I ate them this week. Okay. Well I also have so I also have um a a Baja Blast because I
spk_0
figured that yes I had to do that. So I'm not actually a traditional Baja Blaster one of the new ones.
spk_0
I actually I like the uh the pink one. Spark. I think it's the like raspberry lemonade one.
spk_0
That's my favorite besides a traditional Baja Blast. Yes. I don't like regular mountain
spk_0
do so much. I realized that people are going to crucify me. I like I mean it's you know some people
spk_0
really just do not care for it and I think that's fine. So here you're gonna get the ASMR of me opening
spk_0
a Doritos bag. Oh oh I hear the crinkling. I ate these this week um I will tell you how our children
spk_0
voted on these. That's a smell. Um they have layers of flavor. I want you to know that like I'm
spk_0
I'll drink my uh Duncan iced beverage after you do this. Okay. We'll just have the outtakes B snacks.
spk_0
Yeah. Um okay. Yeah that sounds like a good idea. Um so what do they smell like you have a
spk_0
paint of some word? They smell a little like burning. Uh well that's what your butthole will be
spk_0
doing. Yeah. Well I'm not gonna eat too many of these. So yeah. Here's the other part of this
spk_0
equation is that I'm a blood pressure medication now. Um and I'm eating the saltiest. Yeah and I
spk_0
should be cutting down on my sodium but we went to the fucking Olive Garden yesterday and now I'm
spk_0
sitting here on this podcast eating food. If we did go to the Olive Garden my wife would have been pissed.
spk_0
Oh I had to go to the Olive Garden. Oh no I wanted to go to the Olive Garden. Oh I know how you
spk_0
feel about it. I probably shouldn't have but I did um Leah. Leah bitches love Olive Garden. It's
spk_0
us we're bitches. We are bitches. I'm gonna eat the story right now. Um all right I see here this
spk_0
let's hear the girl. Okay so it's sweet to start with. Uh huh. Uh huh. When does the burning
spk_0
hit me? Um oh there it is. There it is. Yep that's that's the experience. It almost has like
spk_0
a chemicalness to the firey parts. Yeah yeah I like the mango. I like the sweetness. I know I'm
spk_0
weird. I love those. I wouldn't have a whole ass bag of those by myself. Yeah I don't know. It's
spk_0
not too hot um but I don't I don't know that the heat is necessarily doing a whole lot for the
spk_0
the chip you know like I think without it it would just be a weird savory sweet thing that I don't
spk_0
love um I went thumbs up we do a scale in this house. Yes. Thumbs up thumbs down or thumbs in the
spk_0
middle like a mid I went up on that one. I like them so yeah. Yeah I mean I I wouldn't get them
spk_0
again but I'll probably eventually finish this bag. That's how I felt about that. Yeah I yeah
spk_0
so I have a dunking spiked mocha ice coffees. I've peaked. So before you do this I just want it
spk_0
to be known that you showed up at my house yesterday to pick me up for King yoga um with a just
spk_0
bag full of cans of string. Yeah and this is one of the things I gave you I gave you one of
spk_0
each of the flavors of this I'm gonna do this these are 6% alcohol by volume and this is the mocha
spk_0
flavor here we go. Oh oh I don't know how I feel about that. So what kind of alcohol is actually
spk_0
in them? Like I don't know. Oh it does say shake well and I did not do that. Oh it says premium
spk_0
malt beverage so this is like along the lines of what it truly is basically so what you're telling me
spk_0
is that's arena except the sky's this coffee. Yeah kind of is it's kind of weirdly like tangy.
spk_0
I don't love this I'll finish it because it's here. Yeah it's not my favorite it tastes like a
spk_0
little bit like a chocolate covered butthole just a little. It's delicious. Yeah you know what it's
spk_0
delicious. This delicious boha blast that I'm now drinking. That's delicious. Yeah no that's
spk_0
delicious. 10 out of 10. I'm waiting for the time that the cat thinks that my audacity scroll is
spk_0
something to be attacked. Oh no she's considering go and ascend it back over the arcade machine right
spk_0
now as we speak. I'm looking around. I don't think that we are yet at the surprise attack stage
spk_0
so I probably don't have anything to worry about. You're probably safe you're probably safe.
spk_0
Probably are we safe to start a podcast. I do do podcast. I like episode 106 right. It is.
spk_0
Sure let's do this bitch. All right buckle up butterbitch here we go.
