1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,760
I don't know where my Genesis
could be.
2
00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:09,880
I haven't seen my Super Nintendo
since 2003.
3
00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:15,640
That's all right.
I don't mind.
4
00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:19,800
I've got a switch in the old
switch room.
5
00:00:22,080 --> 00:00:23,480
My friend Mike.
And.
6
00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:29,440
Jamo too.
All right everyone, welcome back
7
00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:32,400
to the old Switcheroo where
we're talking gaming retro with
8
00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:34,240
Mike and Jamo.
I'm Mike.
9
00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:37,640
And I'm Jamo today we're
highlighting the superstars and
10
00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:41,760
Nintendo duds of all 30 games
from the last 15 episodes and
11
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:46,880
what we are calling our 16th bit
retrospective season finale.
12
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:49,360
If you like what you hear or
just want to support a couple of
13
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:52,520
guys in the STEM and teaching
fields, give that like and
14
00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:54,480
subscribe button a little tap
right now.
15
00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:59,240
It would mean a lot to us, Mike.
Season 3 was a big season for us
16
00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:02,080
and I know we crossed a few
things off your bucket list.
17
00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:04,360
How's it feel to be at the
finish line of Season 3?
18
00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:06,840
It is always good to be at the
end of the season.
19
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:10,720
As fun as this is, it's nice to
have a little bit of a break.
20
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:14,120
Yeah, we work hard on this show
and I hope you guys appreciate
21
00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:17,000
it and we definitely appreciate
you listening and you
22
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:19,800
participating.
Our community just kind of
23
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:22,720
continues to swell, but it's
like a good swelling.
24
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:28,320
It's not like an itchy swelling.
So thanks to our our wonderful
25
00:01:28,320 --> 00:01:32,040
guest from Season 3, we are so
excited to treat our listeners
26
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:36,040
to a return of one of our most
popular segments, a secret Mike
27
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:40,600
no longer has to keep.
Guest hosts trivia showdown all
28
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:43,280
about the games from Season 3.
Mike, would you like to
29
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:47,240
introduce our, as you so
eloquently put it, guest, guest
30
00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:53,080
hosts host?
Yes, so my wife Cat is making
31
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:56,280
her return appearance as the
host of this.
32
00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:59,120
Yay.
I get to be your Adriana.
33
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:02,240
Wait, no, that's an Australian
reference.
34
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:06,480
By the white.
Go with the Australian
35
00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:09,759
reference, maybe that'll help us
break into that country better.
36
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:12,640
Yeah, we could use the
Australian audience.
37
00:02:12,640 --> 00:02:13,920
What?
What game show was she on?
38
00:02:13,920 --> 00:02:15,600
Cat.
Wheel of Fortune.
39
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:17,800
Oh, about Australian Wheel of
fortune.
40
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:20,520
Yeah, she did the number.
She did the letters for Wheel of
41
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:22,280
Fortune.
And it's it's weird because
42
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:25,120
Australian Wheel of Fortune,
like half the words end in O.
43
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:28,720
And I imagine the wheel turns
the other direction, right?
44
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:33,120
Isn't that how that works?
Yeah, Coriolis effect, Yes, more
45
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:36,200
than just doing this, this also
means Cat has been keeping track
46
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:38,840
of.
So what this is is questions
47
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:42,040
from many of our guests from
this season.
48
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:46,840
And as I pointed out when I
surprise brought her on last
49
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:51,400
time, if I was checking to make
sure files were fine, that would
50
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:54,960
probably not be fair.
So Cat has gone through and made
51
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:58,800
sure that we've got everything
we need, we need and done bits
52
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:02,400
of the checking, but I can't.
Which means Cat knows what we're
53
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:08,200
about to hear, which last time
had a lot of fun surprises.
54
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:10,960
So I was going to ask her how
much she likes knowing what's
55
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:14,520
going to happen for like a week
before I do.
56
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:19,400
This is fun and awesome and I
get to be a little bit evil.
57
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:22,520
Well, you are awesome cat for
doing this.
58
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:25,560
You know, they say behind every
great man is a good woman, and
59
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:29,680
it's also true for Mike.
So thank you and I am excited to
60
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:31,600
play this game again.
I I'm going to Mike.
61
00:03:31,640 --> 00:03:33,680
I'm going to beat you this year.
You, you.
62
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:35,360
You crushed me pretty solidly
last year.
63
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:38,560
I have my scorecard.
All right, I'm ready.
64
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:44,320
OK, so let's jump straight in
here and here is our first clip.
65
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:47,720
Hi guys, it's Rivi yells from
Twitch.
66
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:51,240
I loved playing Links Awakening
with you guys this season and we
67
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:53,040
discussed the enemies quite a
bit.
68
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:56,400
Which of these enemies most
resembles a mushroom?
69
00:03:56,920 --> 00:04:01,880
Is it A the dark nut, B the
tektite, C the Octa rock, or D
70
00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:05,160
the bomber?
Yay RiRi.
71
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:07,520
Question.
It didn't.
72
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:10,360
It didn't feel right last time
to not have her in there.
73
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:14,480
So who guesses first?
So we'll do the same thing we
74
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:15,960
did last time, which was
alternating.
75
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:21,120
I will go first because I don't
feel confident on this one and
76
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:23,400
that seems like a fairway.
To start this off.
77
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:29,040
I am going to say D the bobber,
yeah.
78
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:33,520
OK I was leaning towards D as
well because I'm trying to
79
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:36,440
picture mushroom shaped.
I know Lynx Awakening was the
80
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:40,800
one with the Mario references so
I was expecting Goomba to be one
81
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:43,920
of the choices so when it wasn't
I was a bit thrown off.
82
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:47,960
Dark Nut, Tektite, Octa Rock or
Bobber.
83
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:52,640
You know I don't want to start
off on a tie so I am going to
84
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:53,680
say I guess it could still be a
tie.
85
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:58,040
If we're both wrong, I'm going
to guess it is the Dark Nut.
86
00:04:58,840 --> 00:05:00,240
Well, letter was that.
A that was.
87
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:03,040
The other one I was considering
because I know the middle two
88
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:06,920
were Tektite and Octa Rock and
Octa Rock is an octopus and
89
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:10,560
Tektite is I think spider like
because that's the thing that's
90
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:13,920
like a tektite, which are these
like it's a rock that come off
91
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:15,920
of meteor impacts.
Yeah, I remember you talking
92
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:17,880
about that with like, I think
the first Zelda app was that we
93
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:19,520
did together with RiRi.
Yeah.
94
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:21,640
All right, So yeah, I'm going A,
Mike's going D.
95
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:27,040
And here is the answer.
The answer was D the bomber.
96
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:30,720
Hope you guys are having fun.
Did she say bomber?
97
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:32,560
Because I swear, the question
said.
98
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:35,480
Bobber I thought it was bomber
the first time.
99
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:37,520
I wouldn't have gotten it right
either way.
100
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:42,760
OK, well well done Mike.
And such a fun episode.
101
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:44,400
What a way to kick off Season 3,
right?
102
00:05:44,840 --> 00:05:48,880
Yeah, I always enjoy having her
back as our Zelda.
103
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:51,120
Consultant.
She's just a good time.
104
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:52,280
Thank you.
Rhode Island, Rhode.
105
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:54,360
Island.
All right, let's jump into our
106
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:57,920
next question.
Hey Mike and Jamo, it's Derek
107
00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:00,320
Mcduff from the underrated movie
podcast.
108
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:03,560
We played the Legend of Zelda
Links Awakening.
109
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:07,680
There's a mini game in that game
where you can play a claw
110
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:11,320
machine called the trendy game
and if you have Marin with you
111
00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:13,960
when you do it, she will
actually play the game.
112
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:18,680
My question for you is if Marin
plays the game, what item does
113
00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:24,440
she grab?
Is it a hearts B magic powder C
114
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:26,520
the Yoshi doll provided still
available?
115
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:31,480
If not, she will grab ₹30 or D.
Does she skip all of the items
116
00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:35,280
and instead grab the NPC that is
the shopkeeper of the game?
117
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:41,560
I am going to go with D, the
shopkeeper.
118
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:46,720
Both that and the second to last
one both feel tempting because
119
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:48,560
neither of those are
run-of-the-mill.
120
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:50,280
Just like another thing it could
be.
121
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:54,080
I'm gonna guess C.
The Yoshi doll provided is still
122
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:55,920
available, otherwise you get
₹30.
123
00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:57,440
Yeah, I'm picking the one with a
flow chart.
124
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:03,880
All right, let's see.
Sorry you, Mike.
125
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:07,040
Yeah, that's just his brain.
It's amazing.
126
00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:11,960
All right, here's the answer.
And of course the answer is D
127
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:15,720
Marin foregoes all the items and
reaches over and grabs the
128
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:18,880
shopkeeper, which causes a
pretty great scene where the
129
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:21,760
shopkeeper kicks Lincoln Marin
out and they kind of run out
130
00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:24,040
together giggling.
It's a very nice moment between
131
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:27,280
these characters and one of the
many reasons that Marin is one
132
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:29,840
of my favorite NPCS in any Zelda
game.
133
00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:32,800
Hope you guys got this one.
Reminded me of how fun that
134
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:34,280
episode was to record with you
guys.
135
00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:36,720
Congrats once again on a great
season.
136
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:39,280
Looking forward to the next one.
Have a good one guys.
137
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:42,640
Oh, Derek, you are such a good
egg.
138
00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:47,400
I I remember how badly you
wanted to be on this episode.
139
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:51,480
And that means so much to me
that like you believe in the
140
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:54,480
show and enjoy it that much that
it was important.
141
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:57,880
And it's just important to me
that you just keep coming back.
142
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:01,520
And thank you for having Mike
and I and Rhode Island, Rhode
143
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:05,520
Island on your podcasts.
It just warms my heart to see
144
00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:07,280
both of our little communities
grow together.
145
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:10,840
Yeah, they've done 2 episodes
together now I believe.
146
00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:14,000
Yeah, they did.
Ace Attorney and Boxtrolls.
147
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:17,160
Which I still need to watch Ace
Attorney, but I watched
148
00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:20,080
Boxtrolls to watch that episode
or listen to that episode
149
00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:21,640
rather.
Yeah, that's the one I fell
150
00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:23,240
asleep in.
And Derek was like, Rebe's going
151
00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:29,040
to be pissed and she was.
But anyway, I'm sure I deserve
152
00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:31,200
it.
All right, So I, I tie game,
153
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:35,159
yes.
OK, so next question jumps into
154
00:08:35,159 --> 00:08:39,919
the next episode.
Hey, I'm Kyle and I'm Sarah, and
155
00:08:39,919 --> 00:08:43,280
we were on the Mario Party
episode and I have a question
156
00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:47,320
for everyone.
On the original Japanese version
157
00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:52,040
of Mario Party, what sound did
Wario make that was in the
158
00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:55,720
Japanese version but was
considered too much for the
159
00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:57,280
American version?
They had to change it.
160
00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:06,040
Number 10, Number 2B.
Oh my God #3 no way.
161
00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:12,080
And #4 Mamma Mia, I think.
Incredible.
162
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:18,600
I really hope the AI turns Kyle
going into a TikTok.
163
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:22,960
All right, so Mike, guess this
first.
164
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:26,600
Yeah.
I I feel like it's going to
165
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:29,360
have.
I know what you're thinking and
166
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:31,760
I'm thinking the same thing.
I think I'm guessing a.
167
00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:33,920
Oh, the O.
Yeah.
168
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:36,080
Interesting, that is not what I
was thinking.
169
00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:40,720
I'm going to guess C Oh my God,
because I feel like that fits in
170
00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:44,080
with what we've learned of
Nintendo trying to take religion
171
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:46,720
out of games.
That was B.
172
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:49,640
Are you sure?
I thought C was no way because I
173
00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:51,880
thought it was oh Oh my God, no
way, Mamma Mia.
174
00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:55,560
Do you need me to replay the
question so you can?
175
00:09:57,800 --> 00:09:59,120
I'll trust him.
I'll trust him.
176
00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:03,800
OK, so it was A&B, right?
Yeah, OK.
177
00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:10,080
And here is the answer.
And the answer is, Oh my God,
178
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:12,240
considered too controversial for
America.
179
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:15,480
Hope you get it right.
I didn't think it would be
180
00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:18,320
English.
Well, I mean, I even if it was
181
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:22,640
Oh my gosh or God or whatever in
Japanese, I imagine, you know,
182
00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:24,400
they, they wouldn't want people
to translate it.
183
00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:27,360
Yeah, Fairpoint.
Yeah, Oh yeah.
184
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:32,280
Pulling ahead, Kyle and Sarah
and my wife Jackie on our Mario
185
00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:36,160
Party episode.
So much fun that that episode
186
00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:40,160
will always hold a special place
in my heart because when they
187
00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:43,400
came over to drink some
brewskies and have some pizza
188
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:46,760
and play Mario Party on the
couch, I was having a very rough
189
00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:50,120
week and it just warmed my
heart.
190
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:54,320
And so if anyone is listening
and you've had a rough day or a
191
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:58,200
rough week, if in any small way
you know, we're providing half
192
00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:02,040
the joy that those people gave
me that night, then this is all
193
00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:03,960
worth it.
So anyway, I'm getting
194
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:06,200
sentimental.
I'm gonna turn 40 soon.
195
00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:09,480
I'm gonna I'm gonna take that
point and pull into the lead.
196
00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:13,520
All right.
And on to the next question.
197
00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:17,080
Hi Mike and Gemma, this is
Crystal Fields.
198
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:21,000
Thanks again for having me on
the show this season My question
199
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:22,960
is about my favorite thing,
which is love.
200
00:11:23,560 --> 00:11:27,560
Sam Saran is not always lucky in
love, even though she.
201
00:11:27,560 --> 00:11:30,680
Is smart and athletic and
beautiful.
202
00:11:31,680 --> 00:11:34,480
Who is her one confirmed love
interest?
203
00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:41,200
Is it Adam Malkovich, Castor
Dane, Kevin and Keen or Princess
204
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:43,600
Lana?
Let me know what you think.
205
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:52,720
Princess Lana is tempting for
the click bait alone but I guess
206
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:57,560
1st and I will be guessing a
Adam.
207
00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:00,920
Kevin Keane sounds familiar from
something.
208
00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:05,640
He does, doesn't it?
And Princess Lana, if nothing
209
00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:09,640
else, is the Princess from
Captain NI Believe.
210
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:14,120
Well, does that hurt the case
for her or help the case for
211
00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:19,280
her?
I feel like I would remember if
212
00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:24,400
that had happened on Captain N.
Not aired often.
213
00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:28,800
Yeah.
So I am going to go with B
214
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:32,960
because that was like cast or
something and that is a space
215
00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:34,880
name thing.
It's a dope name.
216
00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:37,600
It's one of the stars in Gemini.
Neat.
217
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:41,040
All right, here is the answer.
Mike, I think you're going to
218
00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:44,400
like this one.
The answer is Kevin N Keene, the
219
00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:50,040
Game Master from Captain N the
Game Master, not from the.
220
00:12:51,680 --> 00:12:57,720
Cartoon series No No from the
short lived comic book series of
221
00:12:57,720 --> 00:13:01,600
the same name.
Samus sees Kevin.
222
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:04,680
Gets a little jealous over his
relationship with Princess.
223
00:13:04,680 --> 00:13:08,280
Lana and in the end asks him to
run away.
224
00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:12,320
With her, which I don't.
Think he does, but who knows
225
00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:15,440
what happens when the comic is
over.
226
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:19,880
All right, thanks guys.
I hope you have a wonderful next
227
00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:21,160
season.
See you then.
228
00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:25,880
Dang it, you were going off
about Kevin.
229
00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:27,720
Keane Yeah.
It's like, I know this sounds
230
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:30,320
familiar.
I know that the other ones is
231
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:33,400
Captain NI did not think about
the comics.
232
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:37,920
Wow so I was thrown off by that
one because leave a comment if
233
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:41,200
you can confirm this.
I swear in the games she had a
234
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:44,440
romantic interest I think, and
Nick would know because he's a
235
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:47,560
big fan of the game Other M.
I thought her love interest and
236
00:13:47,560 --> 00:13:51,960
Other M became the supercomputer
called Adam in Metroid Dread.
237
00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:55,000
But maybe it was a different
Atom and it was spelled
238
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:57,560
differently or something.
But anyway, Mike, you have to
239
00:13:57,560 --> 00:14:01,200
love that Captain N shout out.
Yes, yes I do.
240
00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:06,960
And you know, Crystal really the
the ambassador of our show, the
241
00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:09,080
first thing people hear when
they boot up an episode.
242
00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:12,440
You know, thanks again for
letting us use that amazing
243
00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:15,960
theme song.
It will outlive us all and it
244
00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:17,800
was a great episode having you
and Nick.
245
00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:21,360
All right, let's jump into the
next question.
246
00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:24,160
Mike and Jamo, the old
switcheroo.
247
00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:26,400
I hope that you'll have me back.
I'm missing you.
248
00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:28,080
I'm sure we could find
something.
249
00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:31,080
Maybe a kicks mission too.
I promise I won't just talk
250
00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:33,120
about piss and poo.
I got stuff to say.
251
00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:36,280
Maybe I'll ask a good question.
Maybe that question will have a
252
00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:38,640
good lesson.
Or more likely, I'll just talk
253
00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:40,800
about wrestling.
Ah Nah, I'm just messing.
254
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:44,800
Anyway, here's my question.
Which Samus Power suit upgrade
255
00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:47,920
was created as an inventive way
to overcome game system
256
00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:51,800
limitations?
A the wave beam, B the morph
257
00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:55,800
ball, C the spring ball, or D
the screw attack?
258
00:14:56,280 --> 00:14:59,440
I need to remember those options
again.
259
00:14:59,920 --> 00:15:03,880
There's Wave Beam, morph ball,
screw attack, and there was
260
00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:07,040
something in between the two.
Spring ball, I spring ball.
261
00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:09,160
Spring ball.
That's why I didn't write down
262
00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:12,240
fast enough.
Wave beam, morph ball, spring
263
00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:17,280
ball, screw attack I have.
Such little idea.
264
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:20,000
I think all of these in all
parts of the game that I didn't
265
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:25,160
get far enough into.
I am going to go with the morph
266
00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:27,920
ball because I think that's a
thing and I hope it's the right
267
00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:30,640
thing.
I will also be agreeing with you
268
00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:34,680
because my, SO the morph ball is
just, if I remember correctly,
269
00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:38,160
just when you press the down
button, which is the very first
270
00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:41,200
power up you get.
So you got that at least.
271
00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:45,640
But in my head, it's like if
they wanted her to crawl through
272
00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:49,520
small spaces and that took a lot
of animation and replacing her
273
00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:52,400
with a single ball that doesn't
have to be animated
274
00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:56,200
individually, you know, limbs
and whatnot, I could see that
275
00:15:56,480 --> 00:16:01,480
saving time and resources.
So I will be agreeing with you
276
00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:04,480
morph ball.
All right, here's the answer.
277
00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:08,240
B the morph ball, the Maru Mari,
really really quick lesson on
278
00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:10,600
how that came to be.
They were trying to figure out a
279
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:13,280
way to make Samus crawl.
Just 8 bits to play with.
280
00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:15,720
It wasn't working at all.
So they came up with the morph
281
00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:19,040
ball and look, it became iconic.
I even see how it could be the
282
00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:21,920
genesis of Sonic.
Really though, Mike and Jamo,
283
00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:24,680
thank you for having me on.
Y'all are freaking awesome and
284
00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:29,480
your show's the freaking bomb.
Wow, I have, I have goosebumps.
285
00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:33,840
We have to set that to a beat
and share this with the universe
286
00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:38,720
that was so I could even see it
being the genesis of Sonic.
287
00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:43,280
Are you competing with Crystal
for clever puns on the show that
288
00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:45,320
is?
Oh, Nick, Nick.
289
00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:46,040
Wow.
Nick.
290
00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:50,120
I, I, I, I love the episode that
you did, but I might have loved
291
00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:54,440
that last two minutes even more.
You stunned Mike.
292
00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:56,360
You stunned him.
He's got no words.
293
00:16:56,880 --> 00:16:59,280
You really see why Cat enjoys
knowing that this stuff's coming
294
00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:03,120
when we don't.
So good, so good.
295
00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:06,359
Thank you, Nick.
So this is part of my fun is I
296
00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:11,920
get to share your reactions.
On to the next question here.
297
00:17:12,079 --> 00:17:13,800
Do I get a bonus point for
calling?
298
00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:20,319
Exactly why it's was the answer.
No, Dang it all.
299
00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:26,880
Right, here we go guys.
Nope.
300
00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:27,359
Nope.
Nope.
301
00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:27,720
Nope.
Nope.
302
00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:28,280
Nope.
Nope.
303
00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:30,760
None of that, none of that.
That song is copy written to
304
00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:34,280
hell and back, and I do not want
to piss off the algorithm
305
00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:38,000
anyway.
Much better.
306
00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:42,480
Greetings Mike and Jamo, this is
War Boss 5, and I'm here to help
307
00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:46,400
you celebrate your third year
anniversary without further ado.
308
00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:52,040
My question, Fantasy *4 had some
serious anime energy, what with
309
00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:55,240
a bunch of young people setting
out to kill God, but how young
310
00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:57,960
were they?
More specifically, who was the
311
00:17:57,960 --> 00:17:59,680
youngest party member in the
game?
312
00:18:00,120 --> 00:18:04,840
Is it A Chaz, the hunter
apprentice, B Han, the magical
313
00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:09,920
college student, C Rica the
bioconstruct, or D Griz the
314
00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:13,920
Matavian soldier?
For bonus points, tell me why I
315
00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:17,200
picked the music at the start of
my question, beyond an attempt
316
00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:19,480
to savage the show with
copyright claims, of course.
317
00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:22,560
It's too good.
It's too good.
318
00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:30,200
My answer is going to be C Rica.
I think that's where I'm going
319
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:34,840
as well because that's as a
construct that can mean built
320
00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:36,840
very recently.
Right.
321
00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:41,080
It makes sense lore wise.
And then so I'm like I'm a she's
322
00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:43,080
a robot.
So she's either interestingly
323
00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:46,400
old, like thousands of years old
or she's like 3 days old or
324
00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:49,880
something.
But like I, I do feel like that
325
00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:52,840
falls into kind of that anime
trope.
326
00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:56,800
So but then why Star Wars at the
beginning of the clip?
327
00:18:57,040 --> 00:18:58,960
I feel like there's got to be
something there.
328
00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:01,840
I'm.
Thinking it is because we
329
00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:06,520
specifically discussed the
planets that you go to in this
330
00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:08,880
game, mirroring a Star Wars
pattern.
331
00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:13,000
Although honestly, there's
several things we talked about,
332
00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:15,280
that doesn't mean it's actually
Han, does it?
333
00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:18,600
Right, the characters were
essentially also parallels.
334
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:21,800
Yeah, but Han's not Han.
Now I'm worried that Han it go.
335
00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:27,520
He's playing mind games with us.
He's ready for the answer.
336
00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:29,160
I'm ready.
Yeah, OK.
337
00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:33,920
The correct answer is C Rica,
the Android.
338
00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:37,680
Well, the manual states that
Rica has spent a lifetime inside
339
00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:41,320
an underground computer complex.
That same manual states that the
340
00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:45,520
lifetime has only lasted a
single solitary year, making her
341
00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:48,200
by far the youngest member of
the party.
342
00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:52,840
The bonus answer is that it was
a reference to our episode where
343
00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:55,400
we talked about how there was a
strange amount of overlap
344
00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:59,000
between the cast of Fantasy *4
and the cast of Star Wars.
345
00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:07,960
Ryan, you always impress like
you are so freaking funny and I
346
00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:11,120
will never forget your
dedication to I'm going to say
347
00:20:11,120 --> 00:20:15,320
to us.
When you had to restart Fantasy
348
00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:21,120
*4 after being I think 6 or 7
hours in because that was the
349
00:20:21,120 --> 00:20:24,160
game where you only save by
pressing pause, but there's no
350
00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:25,760
indication you should be doing
that.
351
00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:28,600
And then you turned off the
switch before you remembered you
352
00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:30,400
could rewind and fix that
problem.
353
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:36,880
It was just I love War Boss 5
episodes and I want more.
354
00:20:37,360 --> 00:20:39,680
He brings such energy into these
questions.
355
00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:42,240
He does.
He does.
356
00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:44,960
I I was I was wondering if
there's going to be a return of
357
00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:46,480
their, you know, characters from
last time.
358
00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:48,920
But like, I like this one
equally.
359
00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:50,560
It's so good.
Amazing.
360
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:54,400
This is why I'm enjoying this.
All right into the next
361
00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:58,400
question, hello again, it's
Rivi.
362
00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:02,320
Yells from Twitch.
I was super happy to be able to
363
00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:05,360
do a second Zelda episode with
you guys this season.
364
00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:07,720
So I'd like to ask you a
question about one of my all
365
00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:09,920
time favorite games, Ocarina of
Time.
366
00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:12,960
As a kid I always loved writing
a Pona around.
367
00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:16,200
So in the game, how do you gain
access to a Pona?
368
00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:21,880
Is it A you escape from Lun Lun
Ranch, B you let Malon play your
369
00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:27,080
ocarina, C you win her in a
shooting mini game or D you have
370
00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:29,360
to complete the full trading
sequence quest?
371
00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:35,600
Well, you go first.
All right, well, here's the fun
372
00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:37,400
part.
I don't know.
373
00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:40,400
I remember you don't know, there
was a whole conversation on that
374
00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:42,480
episode about how you never
saved Apona cuz you're a
375
00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:44,920
heartless monster.
I didn't know I needed to.
376
00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:48,560
I guess I'll go training
sequence cuz it feels like it
377
00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:52,000
should be more involved than the
shooting thing and I don't think
378
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:55,480
it's the others.
But yeah, I don't know.
379
00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:58,800
Well, the good news is I know
you're wrong because I did not
380
00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:00,960
complete the trading quest and I
got Apona.
381
00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:03,760
So now this is a unique
opportunity to kind of pull
382
00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:06,760
ahead.
I remember there was a dramatic
383
00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:09,640
moment in the game.
You can't change your answer.
384
00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:13,800
I see the face you're making.
I, I, I heard training quest not
385
00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:17,160
trading quest and I would have
guessed C in that case, but I
386
00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:20,280
don't think it's going to help.
I also don't think it was when
387
00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:23,680
the shooting challenge because I
I vaguely remember that there
388
00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:27,960
was a cinematic element of when
you get Ipona, and I believe
389
00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:30,760
it's because you get locked into
Meilan Ranch and you and her
390
00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:33,320
both escape and then she's your
horse from then on.
391
00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:37,600
So I'm going to guess a escape
from LON LON Ranch.
392
00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:42,320
I do like the Let My Own Play
your Ocarina as a statement
393
00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:43,440
though.
Why?
394
00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:47,320
Mostly because it reminds me of
the first time I went to the Ren
395
00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:51,200
fair and there was a woman
selling like roasted almonds or
396
00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:54,800
something just yelling I can
suck.
397
00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:58,080
And then she would suck one of
the almonds and then she'd say,
398
00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:00,200
and I can blow.
And then she would blow an
399
00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:04,000
ocarina.
Mike former students listen to
400
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:06,840
this podcast.
What are you doing right now?
401
00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:10,200
Jesus.
OK, I'm promoting the Renfair.
402
00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:15,240
Sure, sure.
OK, listen algorithm and anyone
403
00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:19,240
pissed off he said it.
I didn't the algorithm.
404
00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:24,000
Got past Star Wars, we're good.
God, God, a cat please the
405
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:27,560
answer.
All right, the answer was a you
406
00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:29,360
escaped with her from LON LON
Ranch.
407
00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:33,040
Jamo would have known that if he
had bothered to go get her.
408
00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:38,160
Bye guys, have fun.
What was this slander?
409
00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:40,480
Mike is the one who didn't save
Apona.
410
00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:43,720
I saved Apona, dammit.
Is she trolling me or did she
411
00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:45,080
deliberate?
Like, did she actually not
412
00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:47,800
remember that?
She referenced this elsewhere
413
00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:51,720
and I'm like, correction, I am
the one that failed to do that.
414
00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:54,720
And then she's like, Oh well
then I got it wrong in the in
415
00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:57,920
what I recorded, but feel free
to roast me for it so.
416
00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:04,400
I mean look my my trolling of
RiRi is long and historic on the
417
00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:10,720
show so I definitely deserve I
deserve the the confusion but so
418
00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:11,600
good.
I feel like.
419
00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:16,480
I feel like now balance has been
restored to the universe because
420
00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:18,840
we weren't able to get around
the first time and now we get 2,
421
00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:22,040
so we are still net positive.
RiRi.
422
00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:26,000
And let's jump in to the next
one.
423
00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:30,280
It's Kill the Shika, I'm Kill
I'm the Shika and I play Zelda
424
00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:34,000
games, primarily randomizers.
I was a guest on the 7th episode
425
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:37,880
of season 3 titled Ocarina of
Time or Time to Kill.
426
00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:41,200
With the old switcheroo,
official Zelda consultant RiRi
427
00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:44,200
yells.
My question for you is what song
428
00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:47,800
did Daruniya, leader of the
goran's name, a hot?
429
00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:52,920
Beat.
Is it a Saria song, B Zelda's
430
00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:58,440
lullaby, C the song of Storms,
or D Opponus song?
431
00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:05,240
Well, I am going to guess.
I'm going to guess.
432
00:25:06,120 --> 00:25:07,960
Oh, Dang it.
It's between 2:00.
433
00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:11,800
It's between two.
OK, I just have to, I just have
434
00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:14,960
to make a decision.
C Song of Storms.
435
00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:18,080
OK.
I'm going to say because this is
436
00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:21,680
I thought this is relatively
early on that I think I played
437
00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:23,960
this before getting Sauna
storms.
438
00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:27,280
I think it's Sorry as song
because I think it's a thing
439
00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:29,880
that you can hear coming
through, like some of the
440
00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:33,040
tunnels.
OK, I'll be really mad because
441
00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:34,760
that was my second choice, so
let's see.
442
00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:37,480
Let's find out.
The answer?
443
00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:42,400
Is a sorry a song?
When Daruniya hears Link perform
444
00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:46,000
the song taught to him by his
friend back in the forest, he
445
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:49,360
can't help but be pulled out of
his depression and dance to the
446
00:25:49,360 --> 00:25:50,960
hot beat.
How'd you do?
447
00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:53,960
Did you get it right?
Also, thank you so much for
448
00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:56,080
having me as a guest on the
podcast.
449
00:25:56,080 --> 00:26:00,280
And congratulations for three
seasons of the old Switcheroo
450
00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:05,200
Happy Gaming.
Well, I'm upset, but not because
451
00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:10,560
of kill, because I Yeah, I was
trying to think if there was
452
00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:12,720
like some kind of pun involved.
And I was like, oh, storm
453
00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:14,680
lightning hot.
But that doesn't make sense
454
00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:16,440
because storms are more norm for
rain for that.
455
00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:19,920
All right, well done.
But Kill I I just really
456
00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:23,520
appreciate you being one of the
earliest supporters of the show.
457
00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:26,320
Right, Mike.
Yeah, I do appreciate because
458
00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:29,160
she will mention mention this
when I'm in her chat.
459
00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:33,480
So actually she is right now.
So if you're listening to this
460
00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:36,680
now, this has already happened
because we're not live.
461
00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:41,480
She's right now doing a 24 hour
stream to mark hitting 1000
462
00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:45,160
followers on Twitch.
And so when I stopped by to wish
463
00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:49,640
her luck on that early on, she
did plug that she was on the
464
00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:53,720
show that people wanted to go
see more, more Zelda content.
465
00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:56,880
So I always appreciate that.
Very supportive.
466
00:26:57,400 --> 00:26:59,640
It's weird now because I can
watch her streams and I know
467
00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:03,680
what's happening with Ocarina
Time because I did not know for
468
00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:06,480
a very long time.
And they go through that game
469
00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:08,360
real fast, so you don't get any
of the plot bits.
470
00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:12,000
Right.
That's why I have to play it, so
471
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:14,040
I can understand what's going
on.
472
00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:16,840
Have you never played Zelda Cat?
I have not.
473
00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:21,960
No any form of it.
None in the new year.
474
00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:24,880
I'm hoping to start at least
playing it, if not streaming it.
475
00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:27,320
I think you'd like it.
I feel like you have a
476
00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:29,760
appreciation for that aesthetic.
Yeah.
477
00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:31,560
So I'm not sure which one I'm
going to start with.
478
00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:33,440
Everybody tells me not to start
with the first one.
479
00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:37,320
Because they're right.
You could start the one that
480
00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:40,600
Mike is also starting and get
your take on it.
481
00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:43,240
That'd be interesting.
So yeah, it'll be probably in
482
00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:45,960
the new year before I get a
chance to start it though.
483
00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:49,640
Right on.
All right, now back on track and
484
00:27:49,640 --> 00:27:53,920
here is the next question.
Hi guys, Timmy Williams here
485
00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:57,280
from The Whitest Kids You Know
and earn full of Popcorn, my
486
00:27:57,280 --> 00:27:59,200
horror movie podcast with my
friend Shandy.
487
00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:05,760
Anyways, when we played Kung Fu
Heroes for the NES, Jamo dropped
488
00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:09,320
some interesting knowledge.
He told us that Game Machine
489
00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:13,200
Magazine, which is apparently a
real magazine, had named Kung Fu
490
00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:16,840
Heroes the most successful
tabletop machine of October
491
00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:21,840
1984, narrowly beating out
Konami's Super Basketball and
492
00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:27,120
beating out which quote
titillating Mahjong simulator UN
493
00:28:27,120 --> 00:28:33,680
quote was it?
A sexy mahjong B night gal C
494
00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:37,720
mahjong for your Dong or D sexy
game gals.
495
00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:46,400
Oh my God, Mike asked me to not
make noise while they're playing
496
00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:49,240
and that third choice, I almost
choked.
497
00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:52,360
I I've never seen Mike laugh
this hard.
498
00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:57,880
Oh my gosh.
Incredible.
499
00:28:58,120 --> 00:29:01,280
Incredible.
This is a moment in my life.
500
00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:03,720
Oh, Timmy, you don't understand
what you just did to me.
501
00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:07,680
You know, the great part is he
could have chosen to ask
502
00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:11,360
questions about Ninja Gaiden,
the well known game.
503
00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:15,760
Yeah, we got.
We got we got gold, Mike.
504
00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:17,680
It's your choice.
Your your guess.
505
00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:22,400
I am pretty sure it's Night Gal.
It is.
506
00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:26,200
It absolutely is.
What 1 was Night Gal?
507
00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:29,000
It'd be.
All right, let's find out.
508
00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:31,480
For the answer, let's go back to
the tape.
509
00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:35,400
I've always wanted to say that
Nichibutsu's titillating mahjong
510
00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:40,000
simulator Night Gal.
Yes, the answer is B Night Gal,
511
00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:43,480
which then LED us to this weird
slash disgusting conversation.
512
00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:47,160
You a fan of Night Gal, Timmy?
I don't know about that one.
513
00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:48,880
Is it similar to Gal's Panic or
what?
514
00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:52,480
I that's kind of that Gal genre.
Yeah, but it's just the mahjong
515
00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:53,960
thing.
The Gal's genre.
516
00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:57,880
Can I call pornography that?
Like I don't watch porn, OK?
517
00:29:57,880 --> 00:29:59,760
I'm a fan of the.
Gal genre.
518
00:29:59,840 --> 00:30:02,200
I watch a gal genre.
Yeah, keep it classy.
519
00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:05,120
So there's my contribution to
this trivia thing.
520
00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:08,680
And hey, Mike and Jamo,
congratulations on your third
521
00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:11,960
season wrapping up of your
delightful podcast and I hope my
522
00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:14,200
prize for this trivia.
Round was adequate.
523
00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:16,000
Wait, was I supposed?
To send a prize.
524
00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:23,480
Mike, I have.
I have so much to say, but I'm
525
00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:26,560
going to let you go first.
So pleased that Timmy's been a
526
00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:31,120
part part of this, one of those
things that took a while to line
527
00:30:31,120 --> 00:30:33,360
up and I still can't believe it
did.
528
00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:36,960
So glad that we threw in Kung Fu
Heroes into that episode,
529
00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:40,240
because it was.
It's like we need something to
530
00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:43,320
make that fun, and Timmy
certainly did that.
531
00:30:43,880 --> 00:30:48,240
And how Mike, I'm going to I'm
not being hyperbolic.
532
00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:50,720
I'm being sincere.
Whitest kids, you know is I
533
00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:52,800
think, one of the funniest shows
ever made.
534
00:30:53,320 --> 00:30:57,520
And I, I, I feel like those guys
are just icons.
535
00:30:57,520 --> 00:30:59,240
I don't want to get too weird
because I want to come back.
536
00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:00,800
I don't want to be weirded out
by me.
537
00:31:01,040 --> 00:31:04,920
But like, if you asked me if I
could get any comedians on the
538
00:31:04,920 --> 00:31:07,120
show, I wouldn't think to ask
for them because I wouldn't have
539
00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:10,840
think to dream that big.
Like, it's so crazy to hear
540
00:31:10,840 --> 00:31:15,160
Timmy Williams saying my name
and quoting a joke that we've
541
00:31:15,160 --> 00:31:17,120
made together.
I'm going to freaking cry.
542
00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:19,480
This is amazing, Timmy.
Yeah.
543
00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:23,080
And of course, I will mention as
a side bit here, because he
544
00:31:23,080 --> 00:31:26,640
mentioned it when he was on that
they had an animated movie that
545
00:31:26,640 --> 00:31:29,880
was in the works.
And they have recently announced
546
00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:31,680
that we'll be getting a
distribution deal, which will
547
00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:35,720
include a theatrical release in
New York and for us, a
548
00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:37,920
theatrical release in LA of some
capacity.
549
00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:42,440
Got to go, we got to go.
I totally intend to, so I'm
550
00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:46,160
looking forward to hearing that
detail come at some point.
551
00:31:46,280 --> 00:31:50,520
But they're movie Mars.
It will be coming out somewhere
552
00:31:50,520 --> 00:31:54,240
soon Ish E.
Yeah, and it's, it's going to be
553
00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:55,800
incredible.
Like it.
554
00:31:55,920 --> 00:31:57,400
It seems like such a fun
premise.
555
00:31:57,840 --> 00:31:59,440
I wanted to share something with
you, Mike.
556
00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:02,720
I, I, I think based on earn full
of popcorn.
557
00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:07,600
Timmy will also appreciate this.
OK, Mike, can you see the image
558
00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:11,560
that I created with Gemini?
Here it is an art gallery with
559
00:32:11,560 --> 00:32:14,360
four frames on the wall.
Yeah, so the.
560
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:20,760
So the first one is the cover
image from our episode with
561
00:32:20,760 --> 00:32:23,280
Timmy.
Mike and Jamo were on the old
562
00:32:23,280 --> 00:32:29,000
switcheroo with Timmy Williams
who was on The Whitest Kids You
563
00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:34,360
know season 2 with Jenny Slate
who was in Despicable Me Three
564
00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:38,400
with Steve Carell who is in
Crazy Stupid Love with who Mike
565
00:32:38,880 --> 00:32:42,280
I'm.
Going to presume that Kevin
566
00:32:42,280 --> 00:32:44,160
Bacon's in that for the premise
here.
567
00:32:44,280 --> 00:32:49,520
Yeah, like because of Timmy star
power and your hard work on this
568
00:32:49,520 --> 00:32:52,520
show, we are three degrees away
from Kevin Bacon.
569
00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:55,280
I think I already was.
What?
570
00:32:56,600 --> 00:32:58,960
How?
Actually, I think I guess we
571
00:32:58,960 --> 00:33:02,000
both were for counting podcasts
at that point because I think
572
00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:05,680
Brian's 2° away.
Because of Star Trek.
573
00:33:06,160 --> 00:33:10,760
Yeah.
You know what, I just, I just
574
00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:13,960
really am honored that Timmy
spent that time with us.
575
00:33:14,480 --> 00:33:19,600
And how cool to have something
from a person to whom I'm a true
576
00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:21,080
fan.
So thank you so much, Timmy.
577
00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:24,760
Yeah, it's been weirdly a large
amount of mileage out of that
578
00:33:24,760 --> 00:33:28,160
episode because you did bring up
the their YouTube videos that
579
00:33:28,160 --> 00:33:29,880
have been getting up uploaded.
Yeah.
580
00:33:30,360 --> 00:33:34,800
And I have on multiple occasions
been able to be like when
581
00:33:34,800 --> 00:33:36,960
someone's asking about their
line and be like, oh, actually
582
00:33:37,280 --> 00:33:40,360
we talked with Timmy about that
and he said this is how those
583
00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:43,120
are getting uploaded.
And so that has gotten that,
584
00:33:43,120 --> 00:33:45,600
that episode more than a couple
plugs.
585
00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:49,600
Nice, we'll take all we can get.
Oh yeah, and don't forget to
586
00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:51,280
like or subscribe if you're
enjoying this.
587
00:33:52,640 --> 00:33:55,160
Yeah, and share it.
And yeah, his podcast Urn Full
588
00:33:55,160 --> 00:33:58,000
of Popcorn is also thoroughly
enjoyable.
589
00:33:58,000 --> 00:34:00,000
I was watching another one of
the movies they covered last
590
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:01,560
night.
Jackie and I are going to watch
591
00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:04,760
Texas Chainsaw 2 together to
enjoy that episode and I also
592
00:34:04,760 --> 00:34:10,880
listened to their Black Phone
episode and it's just the two of
593
00:34:10,880 --> 00:34:13,600
them are just so good.
It's a good good listen, good
594
00:34:13,600 --> 00:34:16,159
fun time.
Yeah, it's just a lot of I had
595
00:34:16,159 --> 00:34:18,679
been wanting, I'd like to just
hear Timmy talk about movies
596
00:34:18,679 --> 00:34:21,719
more and then he like when he
released the podcast and it was
597
00:34:21,719 --> 00:34:22,960
like, oh, wait, you have the
podcast is out.
598
00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:24,840
It's like you didn't you aren't
already listening.
599
00:34:24,840 --> 00:34:26,080
It's like, no, I didn't know
yet.
600
00:34:26,560 --> 00:34:28,440
So.
Ready for the next one?
601
00:34:30,360 --> 00:34:33,480
What's up Switcher Roosters Mike
and Jayma.
602
00:34:33,480 --> 00:34:37,760
How are you guys doing?
It's me, Nate from trailer boys
603
00:34:37,760 --> 00:34:44,080
and mid hunters obviously.
You may recall we played a rad
604
00:34:44,080 --> 00:34:49,800
game called Blast Core from my
past core, and while there were
605
00:34:50,040 --> 00:34:54,120
some interesting characters that
were playable with some cool
606
00:34:54,120 --> 00:34:59,200
names like J Bomb or some kind
of basic and boring names like
607
00:34:59,200 --> 00:35:05,040
Sideswipe, there were some
hidden playable vehicles that
608
00:35:05,040 --> 00:35:09,320
were roughly based on popular
television shows at the time.
609
00:35:09,600 --> 00:35:15,520
Now what 3 television shows were
these vehicles based on?
610
00:35:17,040 --> 00:35:18,280
All right.
So I don't think we have answer
611
00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:20,520
choices.
Nope, this one is half the.
612
00:35:20,840 --> 00:35:23,280
I can.
I can do it, I'll guess, and
613
00:35:23,280 --> 00:35:25,240
then you can decide whether or
not to agree with me as if it
614
00:35:25,240 --> 00:35:28,040
was multiple choice.
Yeah, give me, give me a moment
615
00:35:28,040 --> 00:35:31,280
as I'm thinking.
So I know I, I, I think I've got
616
00:35:31,280 --> 00:35:34,120
all three as well.
I absolutely have all three.
617
00:35:34,640 --> 00:35:37,160
OK, so if you feel more
confident I'll go through this
618
00:35:37,160 --> 00:35:38,240
and you can tell me where I'm
wrong.
619
00:35:38,640 --> 00:35:39,640
You won't be.
Go ahead.
620
00:35:39,960 --> 00:35:42,960
OK, I know the A teams van is in
this.
621
00:35:43,080 --> 00:35:45,240
Correct.
And I know that we talked about
622
00:35:45,240 --> 00:35:49,880
how they repurpose the General
Lee from Dukes of Hazzard to be
623
00:35:50,360 --> 00:35:52,000
pro American.
Indeed.
624
00:35:52,560 --> 00:35:55,800
So the third one's, the one I'm
not certain about because I
625
00:35:55,800 --> 00:36:00,960
think it's a more basic car.
I'm going to guess Starsky and
626
00:36:00,960 --> 00:36:03,440
Hutch.
And I'm going to agree.
627
00:36:04,760 --> 00:36:06,760
Dang it, I thought you were.
I thought I saw a moment of
628
00:36:06,760 --> 00:36:09,080
weakness there.
I I was very uncertain on that
629
00:36:09,080 --> 00:36:10,600
last one.
Well, you're going to be proud
630
00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:13,160
of yourself.
All right, here we go.
631
00:36:15,160 --> 00:36:18,160
OK, how do we do?
I don't know if this was easy or
632
00:36:18,160 --> 00:36:23,920
hard because one of them didn't
really look like the car from
633
00:36:23,920 --> 00:36:27,160
the show.
So obviously we have the the
634
00:36:27,160 --> 00:36:29,840
black van with the red stripe
being from the A-Team.
635
00:36:30,720 --> 00:36:34,520
We have the red muscle car with
the white stripe being from
636
00:36:34,520 --> 00:36:39,680
Starsky and Hutch.
But then finally we get this 70s
637
00:36:39,960 --> 00:36:45,480
kind of classic muscle car with
an American flag on it and that
638
00:36:45,480 --> 00:36:46,600
actually.
Was.
639
00:36:47,160 --> 00:36:51,080
Based on Dukes of Hazzard, they
didn't use the orange with the
640
00:36:51,080 --> 00:36:54,440
confederate flag, but that is
what that is supposed to be
641
00:36:54,440 --> 00:36:56,160
referencing.
So how'd you do?
642
00:36:58,240 --> 00:37:01,480
I mean we did great and Mike
Nate was another one you were
643
00:37:01,480 --> 00:37:04,000
super excited to get.
I'm having been a fan of his
644
00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:06,760
streams for so long.
Yeah, and where he talks about
645
00:37:06,760 --> 00:37:11,080
Trailer Boys, which as of like a
week ago or two weeks ago, I
646
00:37:11,080 --> 00:37:13,760
have dropped from being top of
the leaderboard for this season,
647
00:37:13,760 --> 00:37:17,320
which was coming, but.
But did you say you were
648
00:37:17,320 --> 00:37:19,160
temporarily at the top of the
leaderboard?
649
00:37:19,200 --> 00:37:21,320
Yeah.
Wow, it's.
650
00:37:21,320 --> 00:37:26,000
To 100 points and I crossed 50
before anybody else and the top
651
00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:27,200
of the leaderboard has
tightened.
652
00:37:27,240 --> 00:37:32,360
So I, I have no hopes in my mind
of winning that.
653
00:37:32,800 --> 00:37:37,080
But I stayed in the lead much
more it I feel kind of like you
654
00:37:37,080 --> 00:37:40,240
ever see one of those videos of
someone at a marathon, like the
655
00:37:40,240 --> 00:37:42,600
one dude who decides to run as
fast as he can at the beginning
656
00:37:42,600 --> 00:37:45,400
and gets out and then like 3
blocks overhead gets overtaken
657
00:37:45,400 --> 00:37:47,760
by like 50 people?
Like that's kind of where I'm
658
00:37:47,760 --> 00:37:50,000
feeling on this right now.
It's like, you know what?
659
00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:52,920
I was never going to win but I
was in the lead for a bit, which
660
00:37:52,920 --> 00:37:54,840
is more than not being in the
lead for a bit.
661
00:37:55,320 --> 00:37:56,800
Yeah, that's true.
That's true.
662
00:37:56,800 --> 00:37:58,520
You you keep doing so well on
that.
663
00:37:58,520 --> 00:38:00,280
I'm going to make you change
your username to something that
664
00:38:00,280 --> 00:38:05,080
promotes the podcast.
But yeah, Nate, like I I love
665
00:38:05,080 --> 00:38:08,680
when, you know, meeting new
people through the show.
666
00:38:08,920 --> 00:38:12,160
And, you know, I've, I've
checked out a couple of the
667
00:38:12,160 --> 00:38:16,120
Trailer Boys episodes and I just
think, you know, going back to
668
00:38:16,120 --> 00:38:17,720
Captain and what a concept,
right?
669
00:38:17,720 --> 00:38:20,800
Like, that's such a good idea
for a show.
670
00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:25,680
And you and Sam just, you know,
have such good chemistry.
671
00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:30,640
So thank you so much for being a
part of our show and thank you
672
00:38:30,640 --> 00:38:34,880
for being so entertaining.
Trailer Boys on Sundays on
673
00:38:34,880 --> 00:38:36,400
Twitch.
There it is.
674
00:38:36,640 --> 00:38:41,160
And it's actually it is on it is
hosted on the official WKUK
675
00:38:41,240 --> 00:38:43,600
twitch channel.
When White's kids, you know do
676
00:38:43,680 --> 00:38:47,600
does other stuff, it's on there
since not mentioned here, but
677
00:38:47,600 --> 00:38:51,320
discuss when we had him on.
Nate is Sam's brother and Sam
678
00:38:51,320 --> 00:38:52,480
was also in White's Kids, you
know.
679
00:38:53,800 --> 00:38:56,600
Happy mid hunting though.
Also love that concept the mid.
680
00:38:57,240 --> 00:39:00,080
As someone who considers himself
a little mid, I appreciate you
681
00:39:00,640 --> 00:39:03,160
looking for the underappreciated
middle ground.
682
00:39:03,680 --> 00:39:07,720
Yeah, there's some I think or
yeah, we'll be out in October.
683
00:39:07,880 --> 00:39:10,840
So I think he'll be streaming a
lot of mid.
684
00:39:10,840 --> 00:39:13,720
Horror for October, and there's
a lot of it.
685
00:39:14,280 --> 00:39:16,360
Oh yeah, do.
You have the score, Cat.
686
00:39:16,520 --> 00:39:18,160
I think I'm still slightly in
the lead.
687
00:39:18,640 --> 00:39:22,600
Yeah, it's Mike is 6 and you
have 7.
688
00:39:23,120 --> 00:39:26,920
That doesn't include if we want
to add that bonus point from
689
00:39:27,080 --> 00:39:31,200
Ryan, which would just bump your
scores up by 1, so.
690
00:39:32,120 --> 00:39:33,760
I think we should do it because
then we both have one more
691
00:39:33,760 --> 00:39:34,640
point.
Heck, yeah.
692
00:39:36,120 --> 00:39:36,880
All right.
I have 8.
693
00:39:36,880 --> 00:39:38,320
Mike has seven.
Yeah.
694
00:39:38,880 --> 00:39:41,120
All right, here we go.
Next question.
695
00:39:42,160 --> 00:39:44,440
Hey guys, it's Andrew from
Nothing New.
696
00:39:45,560 --> 00:39:49,280
When we talked about Clue Clue
Land, you'd mentioned that
697
00:39:49,800 --> 00:39:54,240
Bubbles, the protagonist of Klu
Klu Land, one of the earliest
698
00:39:54,240 --> 00:39:59,040
female protagonists in a video
game ever, and they don't even
699
00:39:59,040 --> 00:40:03,680
bring it up in the game.
So I challenge you to name as
700
00:40:03,680 --> 00:40:08,560
many female protagonists in
video games as you can, going
701
00:40:08,560 --> 00:40:11,560
back and forth one at a time.
Whoever won the last trivia
702
00:40:11,560 --> 00:40:14,520
question can start.
And let's take a few off the
703
00:40:14,520 --> 00:40:17,360
board, the ones that we
discussed in the episode, Laura
704
00:40:17,360 --> 00:40:22,560
Croft, Miss Pac-Man, and of
course, bubbles can't be used as
705
00:40:22,560 --> 00:40:24,720
answers, but any of the others
are fair.
706
00:40:24,720 --> 00:40:28,600
Game as many as you can.
Good luck, have fun.
707
00:40:30,520 --> 00:40:32,760
I like this.
That's creative.
708
00:40:33,360 --> 00:40:38,520
OK, so the we both got the last
trivia question correct.
709
00:40:38,720 --> 00:40:41,120
Yeah.
Do we want to go with Jeremy's
710
00:40:41,120 --> 00:40:43,440
up?
Oh, sure, sure.
711
00:40:43,440 --> 00:40:45,680
Now the person in the lead goes
first.
712
00:40:45,760 --> 00:40:48,960
He.
Said the person who won the last
713
00:40:48,960 --> 00:40:50,440
question.
That's true.
714
00:40:50,760 --> 00:40:52,600
That's true.
So if we go back to ties, all
715
00:40:52,600 --> 00:40:57,560
right, not counting Lara Croft,
Miss Pac-Man or Bubbles, I will
716
00:40:57,560 --> 00:41:02,600
start with Bayonetta.
I will go with Princess Peach
717
00:41:02,600 --> 00:41:06,240
because she's had her own game.
OK, then I will go Daisy, who is
718
00:41:06,240 --> 00:41:09,000
often her companion.
What were the ones we couldn't
719
00:41:09,000 --> 00:41:10,480
say were?
Which 3 was it?
720
00:41:10,640 --> 00:41:12,720
Lara Croft, Miss Pac-Man and
Bubbles.
721
00:41:13,280 --> 00:41:16,800
OK, Samus.
Rosalina.
722
00:41:17,280 --> 00:41:20,760
I feel like you're starting to
stretch your definition of
723
00:41:21,240 --> 00:41:25,040
leading May character.
Did he say leading ladies or did
724
00:41:25,040 --> 00:41:27,840
he just say female?
Oh, he said female protagonist,
725
00:41:27,840 --> 00:41:28,720
didn't he?
Yeah.
726
00:41:29,120 --> 00:41:30,360
OK.
All right, I'll take Rosalina
727
00:41:30,360 --> 00:41:32,640
off the table then, because
you've been able to play Daisy
728
00:41:32,640 --> 00:41:35,920
in a couple of the Mario games.
So I will respect the game.
729
00:41:36,120 --> 00:41:39,480
And I will say Chen Li, I'm a
Street Fighter.
730
00:41:39,480 --> 00:41:45,160
That's fair.
Yeah, OK, then I will go with I
731
00:41:45,560 --> 00:41:48,480
forgot to say it.
It's like chante Chante.
732
00:41:48,480 --> 00:41:52,360
It's like the the side scrolling
like Genie that like whips her
733
00:41:52,360 --> 00:41:54,440
hair.
Yeah, Chante, I'm good with
734
00:41:54,440 --> 00:42:01,080
that.
Well then, let's go next to Are
735
00:42:01,080 --> 00:42:03,800
we counting Commander Shepard?
Because most people play that
736
00:42:03,800 --> 00:42:07,280
character, I think, as a female.
I, I mean, honestly, I would, I
737
00:42:07,280 --> 00:42:09,520
would take that more than I
would have taken Chun Lee, I
738
00:42:09,520 --> 00:42:11,320
think.
OK, Commander Shepard.
739
00:42:11,840 --> 00:42:14,760
Hate where I'm like oh that one
from I don't remember the name.
740
00:42:16,600 --> 00:42:19,720
I know Star Wars star fighter is
like the default is a female
741
00:42:19,720 --> 00:42:22,640
character but I don't remember
her name because I just accepted
742
00:42:22,640 --> 00:42:25,600
the default and moved on because
I don't care about the person I
743
00:42:25,600 --> 00:42:27,560
care about the ship.
So that's not helpful for this.
744
00:42:27,560 --> 00:42:31,120
Is the ship female?
I mean in a way.
745
00:42:31,560 --> 00:42:36,320
The spaceships fall under that
because I know like ships are a
746
00:42:36,320 --> 00:42:38,760
she.
Does that also count on
747
00:42:38,760 --> 00:42:41,520
spaceships?
Yes, because they describe the
748
00:42:41,520 --> 00:42:44,080
Millennium Falcon as she may not
look like much, but she's got it
749
00:42:44,080 --> 00:42:47,920
where it counts, so yes.
Solo canonically establishes
750
00:42:47,920 --> 00:42:50,680
that the computer of that ship
is a female Droid.
751
00:42:52,680 --> 00:42:54,800
Yeah.
You giving up, Mike?
752
00:42:55,280 --> 00:42:57,760
No, I'm just trying to pad long
enough to try to come up with
753
00:42:57,760 --> 00:43:00,760
something else.
I tried to help.
754
00:43:01,160 --> 00:43:05,280
There are so many games where
I'm like, oh wait, oh, even
755
00:43:05,280 --> 00:43:05,640
that.
God damn.
756
00:43:06,120 --> 00:43:09,120
It I think in the interest of
the show flow we should put a
757
00:43:09,120 --> 00:43:11,640
timer on this just.
Editing for me.
758
00:43:14,200 --> 00:43:17,160
We're here 2 hours later.
Yeah, it's going to be 20
759
00:43:17,160 --> 00:43:20,760
seconds in the edit shell from
Portal.
760
00:43:21,280 --> 00:43:30,560
OK, yeah, Shell, yeah.
So then I am going to go with, I
761
00:43:30,560 --> 00:43:34,600
mean Kasumi is the protagonist
of the Dead or alive series, but
762
00:43:34,600 --> 00:43:38,800
I kind of feel like the fighting
game route is a bit dirty so I'm
763
00:43:38,800 --> 00:43:40,600
OK.
I'm OK to abandon the fighting
764
00:43:40,600 --> 00:43:43,600
game route Or do I get one last
one with Kasumi, the protagonist
765
00:43:43,600 --> 00:43:48,160
of Dead or Alive?
Yeah, we'll give you one last
766
00:43:48,160 --> 00:43:50,080
one with that.
OK, no more fighting game
767
00:43:50,080 --> 00:43:52,520
characters for me, but if you
want to get a couple in I
768
00:43:52,520 --> 00:43:55,000
understand.
Then I guess just to sort of
769
00:43:55,000 --> 00:43:58,840
balance things off in that
category, is Jade a female
770
00:43:58,840 --> 00:44:00,440
character on Mortal Kombat?
I'm just going through the
771
00:44:00,440 --> 00:44:05,440
Mortal Kombat song in my head.
Jade is she's the green ninja
772
00:44:06,440 --> 00:44:07,840
all right?
I think calling her a
773
00:44:07,840 --> 00:44:09,840
protagonist is a bit of a
stretch, but considering I've
774
00:44:09,840 --> 00:44:12,360
done 2 fighting game characters
I'm going to allow it.
775
00:44:13,000 --> 00:44:14,640
Kind of.
I'm on the ropes anyway.
776
00:44:15,000 --> 00:44:19,120
OK, so I'm going to go blaze
from Streets of Rage.
777
00:44:19,600 --> 00:44:22,480
Yeah, that's fair.
I'm going to tap out of that
778
00:44:22,480 --> 00:44:25,600
because it's like I have so many
games that are, which is like, I
779
00:44:25,600 --> 00:44:28,080
don't remember what any of these
names are.
780
00:44:28,280 --> 00:44:30,360
Yeah.
Games that I've talked about on
781
00:44:30,360 --> 00:44:32,840
light on like light switches and
stuff and all kinds of things
782
00:44:32,840 --> 00:44:35,720
where it's like, yeah, there
was, I don't remember any of
783
00:44:35,720 --> 00:44:37,400
their names.
So yeah, I'm got.
784
00:44:37,400 --> 00:44:38,640
I'm going to tap out at that
point.
785
00:44:39,120 --> 00:44:43,360
Well I'll just go for the kill
shot and say Tyrus flair from
786
00:44:43,360 --> 00:44:45,640
Golden Axe.
Yeah, I was trying to remember
787
00:44:45,640 --> 00:44:49,200
her name as soon as you, as soon
as you did the Golden.
788
00:44:49,200 --> 00:44:51,080
It's like it's something and I
don't remember.
789
00:44:52,120 --> 00:44:56,760
All right.
I'm like I I can think of
790
00:44:56,760 --> 00:44:59,760
several I'm not playing.
Don't know any of their names
791
00:44:59,800 --> 00:45:02,560
though because I'm not a gamer.
Yeah, no, it's like there's a,
792
00:45:03,200 --> 00:45:07,000
there's a nanogram like slash
mystery solving game, but I play
793
00:45:07,000 --> 00:45:09,960
it and it's like you're that
like the central character that
794
00:45:09,960 --> 00:45:12,800
it, I don't remember her name.
You hung in there.
795
00:45:12,800 --> 00:45:14,760
You know, considering how much
more of like, I'm an overall
796
00:45:14,760 --> 00:45:18,600
gamer, I am like you.
You actually you had me thinking
797
00:45:18,600 --> 00:45:24,240
for a second, so well done.
OK, my knowledge comes from oh
798
00:45:24,520 --> 00:45:29,000
that would make a cute cosplay.
None more righteous, if you ask
799
00:45:29,000 --> 00:45:32,160
me.
I mean, I know there was one one
800
00:45:32,160 --> 00:45:35,000
of the Assassin's Creed.
Yeah.
801
00:45:35,080 --> 00:45:37,880
Is it Rogue had a female
protagonist in it?
802
00:45:38,120 --> 00:45:40,440
Because I really want to make
that jacket.
803
00:45:40,440 --> 00:45:42,040
Oh.
That'd be dope.
804
00:45:42,040 --> 00:45:44,760
I was even just stuffers like,
hey, there's that popular game
805
00:45:44,760 --> 00:45:47,280
now where the main character is
a woman with schizophrenia.
806
00:45:47,600 --> 00:45:50,680
I'm like, that's not a name,
that's a large description.
807
00:45:52,120 --> 00:45:54,320
Or a hell of a name.
You got some mean parents.
808
00:45:54,760 --> 00:45:57,040
Yeah.
Or so as an Australian I feel
809
00:45:57,040 --> 00:46:00,000
like I should mention Cami.
I don't know what game she was
810
00:46:00,000 --> 00:46:02,760
from, but she was played by
Kylie in the movie.
811
00:46:03,280 --> 00:46:06,280
Street in Street Fighter.
Oh, actually Mike, it was Super
812
00:46:06,280 --> 00:46:08,080
Street Fighter too that added
her.
813
00:46:08,680 --> 00:46:12,040
I get another.
Was the movie called that?
814
00:46:13,800 --> 00:46:17,360
I mean, the movie is super so.
And I mean way too many.
815
00:46:17,800 --> 00:46:22,040
It's another one of those very
highly cosplayed characters, so.
816
00:46:22,600 --> 00:46:25,480
I'll I'll post a picture of my
Cami cosplay afterwards
817
00:46:25,600 --> 00:46:28,560
recording.
Is it Canon?
818
00:46:28,800 --> 00:46:32,280
Jamo also knows all those
characters for cute cosplay.
819
00:46:32,760 --> 00:46:35,240
Exactly.
That's one of those cosplays
820
00:46:35,240 --> 00:46:38,640
that are always interesting at
conventions, because if it's
821
00:46:38,640 --> 00:46:43,680
played correctly, it's also not
safe for conventions.
822
00:46:43,880 --> 00:46:46,280
Right.
All right, let's jump into the
823
00:46:46,280 --> 00:46:50,680
next question.
Howdy boys, this is Chico de Ma
824
00:46:50,680 --> 00:46:57,080
from witfrontier.com splashing
my way in here to ask a question
825
00:46:57,080 --> 00:47:01,920
about F-099.
Start your engines, boys.
826
00:47:02,400 --> 00:47:09,440
When we played F-099, what is
the BSF 0 vehicle you can unlock
827
00:47:09,440 --> 00:47:17,160
for Doctor Stewart's Golden Fox?
A the green Amazon, B the Luna
828
00:47:17,160 --> 00:47:24,120
Bomber, C the Blue Thunder, or D
the Fire Scorpion?
829
00:47:24,800 --> 00:47:29,720
Time is running out.
As soon as this question started
830
00:47:29,720 --> 00:47:32,840
down that path, I knew I was in
trouble because I knew we were
831
00:47:32,840 --> 00:47:36,880
heading from like from F-099
being 7.
832
00:47:36,960 --> 00:47:38,760
This is going to be about those
things, isn't it?
833
00:47:38,800 --> 00:47:42,200
And I don't remember them, and
I'm trying to guess one that
834
00:47:42,200 --> 00:47:45,000
sounds familiar.
I we may have been given all
835
00:47:45,000 --> 00:47:48,240
four alternate vehicles, in
which case that's a bad
836
00:47:48,240 --> 00:47:50,960
strategy.
So I'm going to get C, which was
837
00:47:50,960 --> 00:47:56,200
the Blue Thunder, because I feel
like I've heard that and that is
838
00:47:56,200 --> 00:47:58,240
the most I have to go on on
this.
839
00:47:58,720 --> 00:48:01,800
Well I'm pretty confident that
it's not the blue Thunder
840
00:48:01,800 --> 00:48:04,760
because that would be the
alternate skin for Captain
841
00:48:04,760 --> 00:48:08,840
Falcons machine which is the
blue Falcon and then the green
842
00:48:08,840 --> 00:48:11,160
Amazon that would have been the
one the pico.
843
00:48:11,160 --> 00:48:15,560
The aliens fire scorpion would
have been Samurai Goro alternate
844
00:48:15,560 --> 00:48:17,280
1.
So the only one left would be
845
00:48:17,280 --> 00:48:21,520
Luna Bomber.
Doctor Stewart is the yellow car
846
00:48:21,840 --> 00:48:24,800
and I could see the moon being
also kind of yellow tinted.
847
00:48:24,800 --> 00:48:27,920
That would make sense as a name.
So pretty confident Luna Bomber
848
00:48:27,920 --> 00:48:30,160
B.
All right, let's find out.
849
00:48:31,160 --> 00:48:34,080
The answer was B Son, the Luna
bomber son.
850
00:48:34,440 --> 00:48:36,880
I'll say, I'll say the.
Original close up of this.
851
00:48:36,880 --> 00:48:40,920
Render has fire decals on the
four engines.
852
00:48:41,040 --> 00:48:44,360
That was just a fun fact.
Happy trails, son.
853
00:48:45,200 --> 00:48:48,280
It really transit transitioned
over into Foghorn Leghorn by the
854
00:48:48,280 --> 00:48:50,920
end.
I mean, Chico's a character.
855
00:48:50,920 --> 00:48:53,720
Chico creates incredible
characters.
856
00:48:53,720 --> 00:48:57,520
If you enjoyed that kind of
Looney Tune esque personality
857
00:48:57,520 --> 00:49:00,600
just brought to the show, be
sure to check out What Frontier.
858
00:49:00,720 --> 00:49:06,280
Every panel of that comic just
bleeds fun and personality and
859
00:49:06,280 --> 00:49:09,520
what an artistic talent.
Chico is special to me for a
860
00:49:09,520 --> 00:49:14,160
number of reasons. 1 I believe
may be the only person other
861
00:49:14,160 --> 00:49:16,240
than Mike and I who's listened
to all of our episodes.
862
00:49:16,240 --> 00:49:22,400
So that alone, like God bless
you, but also the only person to
863
00:49:22,880 --> 00:49:27,520
do guest cover art, the F0 cover
art that you made for episode is
864
00:49:27,520 --> 00:49:30,080
stunning.
It puts my trace doodles to
865
00:49:30,080 --> 00:49:33,680
shame.
But it is just you're such a
866
00:49:33,680 --> 00:49:36,440
talent and keep creating, keep
coming back.
867
00:49:36,600 --> 00:49:39,160
You mean the world to us?
And if you think you've also
868
00:49:39,160 --> 00:49:41,400
listened to all the episodes,
tell us in the Discord.
869
00:49:41,720 --> 00:49:43,840
Yeah.
And rate or something give us a
870
00:49:43,840 --> 00:49:47,760
like.
Yeah, tell some people stupid,
871
00:49:47,760 --> 00:49:51,600
all of them being things I
didn't I didn't even realize
872
00:49:51,600 --> 00:49:53,800
that they that they were like
color matched like that.
873
00:49:53,800 --> 00:49:56,080
Like I didn't even know that was
a strategy that could be done.
874
00:49:56,520 --> 00:49:59,600
Well, you Pooh poohed me when I
said that it was the four colors
875
00:49:59,600 --> 00:50:02,720
of the Famicom, and that's I
think why it was burned into my
876
00:50:02,720 --> 00:50:05,880
brain as I was thinking of them
distinctly as red, blue, yellow,
877
00:50:05,880 --> 00:50:06,320
green.
I.
878
00:50:06,800 --> 00:50:08,640
Mean those are just like the
four colors you do.
879
00:50:08,880 --> 00:50:11,720
That's what you said, but who
remembered it and who forgot
880
00:50:11,720 --> 00:50:13,400
just now?
I didn't know they kept them as
881
00:50:13,400 --> 00:50:14,960
the same colors is what I'm
saying.
882
00:50:15,440 --> 00:50:17,720
Gotcha.
Like, not that it's not the same
883
00:50:17,720 --> 00:50:19,120
4.
It's like, I didn't know it was,
884
00:50:19,120 --> 00:50:21,640
it was a oh, these are still.
This one's still blue.
885
00:50:21,840 --> 00:50:23,400
This one's still red.
Whatever.
886
00:50:23,400 --> 00:50:24,440
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
887
00:50:25,040 --> 00:50:27,040
Yeah, that's what happens.
All right, here we go.
888
00:50:27,360 --> 00:50:29,400
Let's get into the next
question.
889
00:50:30,320 --> 00:50:33,320
Hey Mike and Jamo, I had a great
time talking about the Wily wars
890
00:50:33,320 --> 00:50:34,920
with you and all things Mega
Man.
891
00:50:35,400 --> 00:50:37,440
I have a question that I don't
think either of you are going to
892
00:50:37,440 --> 00:50:40,680
get.
After you beat Mega Man 1-2 and
893
00:50:40,680 --> 00:50:44,560
three, you're presented with
three Bostons, Busta, Rod G,
894
00:50:44,640 --> 00:50:51,640
Megawater S and Hyperstorm H
They are all part of what Wiley
895
00:50:51,640 --> 00:50:53,920
unit?
What is the name of the Wiley
896
00:50:53,920 --> 00:51:00,360
unit that they are part of?
Really hoping to get some answer
897
00:51:00,360 --> 00:51:02,680
choices on that one and I go
first.
898
00:51:03,200 --> 00:51:05,240
I mean, it ain't going to
matter, but yeah.
899
00:51:07,400 --> 00:51:09,760
Well, I remember you said
they're like The Mavericks from
900
00:51:09,760 --> 00:51:13,520
Super Nintendo, but they aren't.
They are.
901
00:51:14,520 --> 00:51:16,760
It's a, it's a one word, it's
something unit.
902
00:51:16,760 --> 00:51:21,040
It's like killer unit or heavy.
No, not heavy.
903
00:51:21,600 --> 00:51:24,120
I don't think they'd say killer.
That seems too violent.
904
00:51:24,720 --> 00:51:31,320
So I am going to say storm unit.
No, no, because hyper storm.
905
00:51:31,320 --> 00:51:33,400
And no, it wouldn't be storm
because storm is already one of
906
00:51:33,400 --> 00:51:34,800
their names.
They wouldn't do that.
907
00:51:35,280 --> 00:51:36,920
I'll say.
I'll say Killer Unit because
908
00:51:37,000 --> 00:51:39,160
it's the best guess I can think
of at the moment.
909
00:51:39,240 --> 00:51:40,520
Killer Unit.
OK.
910
00:51:40,600 --> 00:51:44,440
And as you brought up like
Maverick but not and Maverick
911
00:51:44,440 --> 00:51:47,840
wasn't Top Gun with goose.
So I'm going to say that they're
912
00:51:47,840 --> 00:51:50,640
the geese.
If you get this right, I'm going
913
00:51:50,640 --> 00:51:53,680
to be so mad.
If I get this right, I'm going
914
00:51:53,680 --> 00:51:56,320
to be mad with that.
All right, let's find out the
915
00:51:56,400 --> 00:52:02,160
answer guys.
The unit that Bustaraji, Mega
916
00:52:02,160 --> 00:52:09,360
Water S and Hyperstorm H are
part of are called the Genesis
917
00:52:09,360 --> 00:52:13,480
Unit in the United States.
Well Don, you were right,
918
00:52:13,480 --> 00:52:16,960
neither of us got it, but more
importantly we got you on the
919
00:52:16,960 --> 00:52:19,320
show.
We really appreciate all the
920
00:52:19,320 --> 00:52:23,840
support from the Cable Club
league having Mike and I on in
921
00:52:23,840 --> 00:52:26,960
the current season.
And you know, I love you guys so
922
00:52:26,960 --> 00:52:28,880
much, you'll even forgive what
you've done.
923
00:52:29,000 --> 00:52:32,080
Placing Brood War above third
strike history.
924
00:52:32,440 --> 00:52:37,280
History has its eyes on you, and
it will smile upon me one day.
925
00:52:37,800 --> 00:52:40,720
But Mike, how fun is the cable
Club league, I mean?
926
00:52:40,880 --> 00:52:43,960
Quite fun, which is probably
also why we've had a fair chunk
927
00:52:43,960 --> 00:52:47,440
of overlap between guests at
this point, since they just had
928
00:52:47,440 --> 00:52:52,600
Ririyong to talk about yet
another Zelda game, and they
929
00:52:52,600 --> 00:52:56,480
also have Derek coming up for
Ocarina of Time I believe.
930
00:52:56,960 --> 00:53:00,800
And Hapney was on I'll be it
briefly, but Hapney submission
931
00:53:00,800 --> 00:53:05,120
was WCWNWO revenge.
Yeah, I just you know what?
932
00:53:05,120 --> 00:53:07,000
Just one big happy family of
podcasts here.
933
00:53:07,000 --> 00:53:11,440
I love it all.
Right, let's go in to the next
934
00:53:11,440 --> 00:53:18,680
one.
Oh hey guys, it's Sarah from
935
00:53:18,920 --> 00:53:21,640
Defun Games.
I don't know, maybe you Remember
936
00:53:21,640 --> 00:53:23,960
Me.
We did a episode about the
937
00:53:24,200 --> 00:53:27,160
Ghosts and Goblins series.
It was good, maybe a little
938
00:53:27,160 --> 00:53:30,200
long.
Well, since then you're just,
939
00:53:30,400 --> 00:53:32,520
well, you're just never going to
believe what happened to me
940
00:53:32,920 --> 00:53:35,960
after our chat.
Get this, somebody broke into my
941
00:53:35,960 --> 00:53:39,920
house and just smacked me over
the head real hard and it still
942
00:53:39,920 --> 00:53:42,400
hurts.
Since then, I've been stuck on
943
00:53:42,400 --> 00:53:45,760
this boat in the middle of the
ocean, just going nowhere.
944
00:53:46,160 --> 00:53:49,320
I've already lost faith that
anyone's going to find me.
945
00:53:49,320 --> 00:53:52,880
So instead, what I've done is
I've come up with a Sir Arthur
946
00:53:52,880 --> 00:53:55,040
related question for your big
show.
947
00:53:55,600 --> 00:53:58,240
All right, here it is.
So, an electronic Gimme
948
00:53:58,240 --> 00:54:03,600
Monthly's 100th issue published
back in 1997, they listed out
949
00:54:03,600 --> 00:54:07,120
the top 100 best video games
ever made.
950
00:54:07,600 --> 00:54:10,840
As you'd expect, Ghouls and
Ghosts on the Genesis found its
951
00:54:10,840 --> 00:54:16,440
way to a very solid 47th place.
And my question to you is this,
952
00:54:16,800 --> 00:54:20,560
what place did super ghouls and
ghost show up?
953
00:54:21,080 --> 00:54:24,720
I want to see who will come
closest to the right answer.
954
00:54:25,000 --> 00:54:28,920
And when you're done with that,
can you do me a favor and send
955
00:54:28,920 --> 00:54:32,120
help?
I can already hear the Thunder
956
00:54:32,120 --> 00:54:35,880
behind me and trust me, you
don't want to be in a small boat
957
00:54:35,880 --> 00:54:39,040
in the middle of a storm,
especially when there's this
958
00:54:39,040 --> 00:54:42,960
thing circling the look I'm
begging you, just send out.
959
00:54:48,800 --> 00:54:51,560
Well, do we send help before or
after we guess I?
960
00:54:52,120 --> 00:54:54,680
Mean it won't take us that long
to guess.
961
00:54:55,200 --> 00:54:57,200
Cyril has mentioned on the
Discord, right?
962
00:54:57,200 --> 00:55:01,000
He's been, he's, he's like, we
have proof of life on him,
963
00:55:01,000 --> 00:55:03,080
right?
That was amazing.
964
00:55:03,080 --> 00:55:04,520
His channel's still uploading
so.
965
00:55:04,520 --> 00:55:06,120
OK.
But those could have been
966
00:55:06,120 --> 00:55:07,280
scheduled.
We don't know.
967
00:55:07,280 --> 00:55:09,640
He's so organized.
Yeah, but he's he's on top of
968
00:55:09,640 --> 00:55:12,200
the new the new releases stuff.
All right.
969
00:55:12,680 --> 00:55:17,000
Good to know he's hopefully OK.
And the question was, what place
970
00:55:17,000 --> 00:55:21,400
in EGM's top 100 games did they
say Super Cools and Ghosts was?
971
00:55:21,760 --> 00:55:23,920
Yeah, I'm.
Going to get pretty close I
972
00:55:23,920 --> 00:55:26,800
think.
This is turning into like a
973
00:55:26,800 --> 00:55:30,920
whole Princess Bride cup in
front of me kind of thing where
974
00:55:30,920 --> 00:55:35,680
it's like, I know that I did not
like super ghouls and ghosts,
975
00:55:35,680 --> 00:55:37,440
but I also know that everybody
else did.
976
00:55:37,680 --> 00:55:41,440
So it's more like than I think
it should be, but I don't know
977
00:55:41,440 --> 00:55:45,320
how off that is.
Clearly you cannot drink the cup
978
00:55:45,320 --> 00:55:48,560
in front of me.
Yeah, and I remember him talking
979
00:55:48,560 --> 00:55:53,000
about their overall rankings
being really close for since
980
00:55:53,000 --> 00:55:57,520
he's got the like the overall
all reviews averaged for
981
00:55:57,520 --> 00:56:00,320
contemporary reviews and they're
actually they're pretty close,
982
00:56:00,320 --> 00:56:02,280
but with the Genesis 1 coming
out ahead.
983
00:56:03,160 --> 00:56:05,760
OK.
I think I might have been
984
00:56:05,760 --> 00:56:09,240
thinking about that number.
I think he gave us that number.
985
00:56:09,400 --> 00:56:11,000
This is where I'm not sure
about.
986
00:56:11,480 --> 00:56:16,800
Well, I'll throw out a number.
I am going to guess 53.
987
00:56:17,240 --> 00:56:20,320
Oh, OK, It'll be a tight window.
I'm going to stick with my guns
988
00:56:20,320 --> 00:56:22,800
and go by the number I remember
from the episode.
989
00:56:22,800 --> 00:56:25,600
And even if it was the overall
ranking, I feel like that
990
00:56:25,600 --> 00:56:29,520
academically is better than just
feeling through my guts.
991
00:56:29,520 --> 00:56:33,320
So I'm going to say 60.
All right, let's find out how it
992
00:56:33,320 --> 00:56:37,000
did.
Hey guys, it's Cyril from
993
00:56:37,000 --> 00:56:40,880
Defunct Games again.
Have you sent out any help yet?
994
00:56:41,120 --> 00:56:44,440
You didn't do anything, did you?
You just answered my question.
995
00:56:44,440 --> 00:56:46,720
Now you're waiting for the
answer, I guess.
996
00:56:47,200 --> 00:56:50,320
Oh, here it is.
Believe it or not, Super Ghouls
997
00:56:50,320 --> 00:56:55,440
and Ghosts came in 22nd place,
wedged right between Final
998
00:56:55,440 --> 00:56:59,880
Fantasy 7 at 21 and Art Type 3
at 23.
999
00:57:00,120 --> 00:57:02,560
It actually did quite a bit
better than Ghouls and Ghosts on
1000
00:57:02,560 --> 00:57:05,920
the Genesis raising.
I know now, if you don't mind
1001
00:57:05,920 --> 00:57:09,480
me, I'm just I'm just going to
deal with this nasty leak
1002
00:57:09,480 --> 00:57:11,520
problem.
I tell you, it's always
1003
00:57:11,520 --> 00:57:14,400
something when you're stuck in
the middle of the ocean in a
1004
00:57:14,400 --> 00:57:24,280
boat and still impeccable sound
quality from that boat.
1005
00:57:24,320 --> 00:57:27,760
Incredible.
Yeah, the real cruel part is
1006
00:57:27,760 --> 00:57:30,440
this has reminded me of another
game with a female protagonist I
1007
00:57:30,440 --> 00:57:33,560
played recently that I don't
remember the character's name
1008
00:57:33,560 --> 00:57:35,760
of.
Much higher than I expected.
1009
00:57:36,000 --> 00:57:38,920
Yeah, yeah, you were right to
think like, oh, people liked it
1010
00:57:38,920 --> 00:57:40,880
better, even though you and I
personally didn't.
1011
00:57:41,520 --> 00:57:44,360
It was critically better
received, interesting and well
1012
00:57:44,360 --> 00:57:46,080
played.
I I can't even be mad at that
1013
00:57:46,080 --> 00:57:48,640
one.
Yeah, and exactly the sort of
1014
00:57:48,640 --> 00:57:52,320
deep dive into the world of
critics that one would expect
1015
00:57:52,320 --> 00:57:55,360
from him.
Yeah, Defunct Games is just so
1016
00:57:55,360 --> 00:57:59,200
impeccably researched, such a
such a fun approach to video
1017
00:57:59,200 --> 00:58:02,280
game history, such a important
task.
1018
00:58:02,280 --> 00:58:04,640
I mean, you know, like you and I
are kind of trying to document
1019
00:58:04,640 --> 00:58:08,280
the Nintendo Switch online, but
I think, you know, his coverage
1020
00:58:08,280 --> 00:58:10,840
of coverage.
I think it's it's so cool.
1021
00:58:12,040 --> 00:58:15,880
And also I always, you know,
appreciate when someone's, you
1022
00:58:15,880 --> 00:58:17,720
know, records a really long
episode with us.
1023
00:58:17,840 --> 00:58:20,200
I like the little dig about how
long that episode was.
1024
00:58:20,200 --> 00:58:24,280
You ain't wrong, but it was one
of our best.
1025
00:58:24,320 --> 00:58:26,560
So thank you, Sarah.
You're awesome and.
1026
00:58:27,080 --> 00:58:30,360
So many citations in that that I
actually hit a character limit
1027
00:58:30,360 --> 00:58:32,880
on the show notes.
Wow, that's the first, isn't it?
1028
00:58:33,320 --> 00:58:37,440
Yeah, because it's 6000
characters or something, and
1029
00:58:37,440 --> 00:58:39,720
there's just so many different
articles being referenced in
1030
00:58:39,720 --> 00:58:42,520
there that I had to get creative
in citations.
1031
00:58:43,080 --> 00:58:46,520
And don't forget to check out
the Kickstarter for the EGM
1032
00:58:46,520 --> 00:58:49,400
Compendium, I think that's still
going if you want to support
1033
00:58:49,400 --> 00:58:51,720
that and get a copy.
Should I check real quick to see
1034
00:58:51,720 --> 00:58:53,720
if it's still going?
I thought it had already
1035
00:58:53,720 --> 00:58:54,920
finished.
Oh, shoot.
1036
00:58:54,920 --> 00:58:57,360
Well, you know something, if
it's finished, you can buy the
1037
00:58:57,360 --> 00:58:58,520
book.
Because that's the whole point
1038
00:58:58,520 --> 00:59:00,400
of making the Kickstarter is the
bubbles of the book.
1039
00:59:00,920 --> 00:59:04,480
Yeah, I'm doing the quick check.
And then he also they had a
1040
00:59:04,480 --> 00:59:07,320
release with Retrobit with Holy
Diver.
1041
00:59:07,800 --> 00:59:10,960
So be sure to check out his
wonderful marketing stuff for
1042
00:59:10,960 --> 00:59:13,040
retro bit and they're wonderful
products.
1043
00:59:13,400 --> 00:59:15,920
You will not be disappointed in
the quality of either.
1044
00:59:16,320 --> 00:59:18,360
Yeah, I think that one was a
little ways back because I've
1045
00:59:18,360 --> 00:59:21,400
been looking into that because I
I've been now that is a game
1046
00:59:21,400 --> 00:59:24,000
where I'm like, I do want to
check out that game, but I think
1047
00:59:24,000 --> 00:59:29,720
that version was only like was
on for original hardware of
1048
00:59:29,720 --> 00:59:32,000
which I don't own.
You don't have an NES.
1049
00:59:32,520 --> 00:59:34,800
I do not, but I want, I want
that game.
1050
00:59:35,320 --> 00:59:37,920
How cool, though, that they're
printing new NES cartridges in
1051
00:59:37,920 --> 00:59:40,720
the year of our Lord 2025.
Yeah, actually we're gonna,
1052
00:59:40,720 --> 00:59:44,080
we're gonna keep that around for
wish list things kind of.
1053
00:59:44,080 --> 00:59:47,840
I think I may just wish list
that game specifically, yeah.
1054
00:59:48,400 --> 00:59:54,360
All right, and let's jump in to
our last episode.
1055
00:59:54,960 --> 00:59:57,600
Hey everyone, happy here with a
question about my game
1056
00:59:57,600 --> 01:00:00,320
Crystallis.
During the game, the main
1057
01:00:00,320 --> 01:00:02,720
character requires 4 elemental
swords.
1058
01:00:03,280 --> 01:00:05,280
Which of the following is not
one of them?
1059
01:00:06,080 --> 01:00:11,360
Sword of Earth, Sword of Flame,
Sword of Water, or Sword of
1060
01:00:11,360 --> 01:00:12,840
Wind?
Good luck.
1061
01:00:14,000 --> 01:00:18,160
Well, I'm going to say that the
Sword of Earth A was not in
1062
01:00:18,160 --> 01:00:21,120
Crystallis.
I am going to agree that's I was
1063
01:00:21,120 --> 01:00:24,000
writing that answer down before
you spoke because I felt this
1064
01:00:24,000 --> 01:00:27,120
would be clear that you would
know this having, you know,
1065
01:00:27,560 --> 01:00:31,480
gotten multiple swords.
Yeah, if anyone would know, it
1066
01:00:31,480 --> 01:00:34,440
would be me, not you.
All right, let's find out.
1067
01:00:35,000 --> 01:00:37,160
The correct answer is Sword of
Earth.
1068
01:00:37,480 --> 01:00:39,440
That is not one of the swords
acquired.
1069
01:00:40,360 --> 01:00:45,440
Well, you know, happening.
I I really loved our episode.
1070
01:00:45,920 --> 01:00:51,440
It's always cool when you know,
you introduced me to that game
1071
01:00:51,720 --> 01:00:54,680
because you picked it.
You recognize how awesome it
1072
01:00:54,680 --> 01:00:57,000
was.
And you know, you said that you
1073
01:00:57,000 --> 01:01:00,160
found your tribe through our
podcast and like, I, I mean so
1074
01:01:00,160 --> 01:01:02,360
much to me that you would call
us your tribe.
1075
01:01:02,800 --> 01:01:06,800
You are just such an easy guy to
talk to and wonderful taste in
1076
01:01:06,800 --> 01:01:09,520
games.
And you're a devoted father and
1077
01:01:09,520 --> 01:01:12,120
you're just a good hang.
So happening.
1078
01:01:12,120 --> 01:01:15,960
Thank you for a wonderful final
episode of season 3.
1079
01:01:15,960 --> 01:01:18,600
I guess if you don't count this
one, you really sent us off in
1080
01:01:18,600 --> 01:01:21,480
style.
And thank you for always being,
1081
01:01:22,040 --> 01:01:23,520
you know, connected to us.
Means a lot.
1082
01:01:24,000 --> 01:01:25,480
Yeah.
And I think it's one of the few
1083
01:01:25,480 --> 01:01:28,080
ones where we've had where the
person we've had on wanted to
1084
01:01:28,080 --> 01:01:31,480
come talk about a game that they
didn't have nostalgia to.
1085
01:01:31,920 --> 01:01:35,320
It's just an old game they like.
Yeah, they just found a Nintendo
1086
01:01:35,320 --> 01:01:39,080
Switch online and you know, the
rest is modern history.
1087
01:01:39,480 --> 01:01:41,720
So cool.
The the The appeal of finding
1088
01:01:41,720 --> 01:01:44,280
games to Nintendo Switch Online.
Why aren't they sponsoring us?
1089
01:01:44,480 --> 01:01:48,320
Come on, come on, Nintendo,
Sponsor me.
1090
01:01:48,320 --> 01:01:51,080
At least Mike says some weird
stuff sometimes with Sponsor me.
1091
01:01:52,600 --> 01:01:55,480
Or alternatively, if any Ren
fairs would like to sponsor us,
1092
01:01:57,560 --> 01:02:00,400
we're not picking on who really.
No, all right.
1093
01:02:00,560 --> 01:02:03,520
So before I give you the scores,
I've got one final bonus
1094
01:02:03,520 --> 01:02:05,600
question.
I knew you had something up your
1095
01:02:05,600 --> 01:02:08,800
sleeve, Cat, I could feel it.
Here is our bonus question.
1096
01:02:10,320 --> 01:02:12,520
Hey hey, it's Ruby yells from
Twitch.
1097
01:02:13,160 --> 01:02:17,000
I love playing Links Awakening
with you guys so much that I
1098
01:02:17,000 --> 01:02:19,760
wanted to ask if you've
remembered what year the game
1099
01:02:19,760 --> 01:02:24,480
came out.
Did it come out in A 1993, B
1100
01:02:24,480 --> 01:02:31,120
1998 or C2019?
I wonder if she's being clever
1101
01:02:31,640 --> 01:02:35,240
because.
I think I have the answer here.
1102
01:02:35,480 --> 01:02:40,760
OK, I think that the answer is D
all of the above.
1103
01:02:41,200 --> 01:02:44,680
Well, she didn't say that, but
is that an option?
1104
01:02:45,080 --> 01:02:48,200
She she didn't say it, but.
Because 93 would have been the
1105
01:02:48,200 --> 01:02:52,640
original, 98 would have been the
links awakening DX that we
1106
01:02:52,640 --> 01:02:58,280
played and then 2019 you sly
minx RiRi.
1107
01:02:59,800 --> 01:03:02,920
Wow you should have.
Yeah I agree with Mike.
1108
01:03:03,600 --> 01:03:06,480
Very clever cuz 2019 was the
switch re release.
1109
01:03:07,120 --> 01:03:11,160
Though all right, this one was
impossible to get wrong.
1110
01:03:11,160 --> 01:03:14,120
They were all correct.
Link's Awakening was originally
1111
01:03:14,120 --> 01:03:18,960
released in 1993, the Game Boy
Color version came out in 1998,
1112
01:03:19,200 --> 01:03:21,720
and the Switch remake was
released in 2019.
1113
01:03:22,800 --> 01:03:25,280
I like that.
A twist right at the end.
1114
01:03:25,760 --> 01:03:28,280
Well, Kat, you have our scores,
do you not?
1115
01:03:28,280 --> 01:03:33,600
I think I'm going to be excited.
I do so with a grand total of
1116
01:03:34,120 --> 01:03:38,640
13.
Mike came in second place and
1117
01:03:38,640 --> 01:03:42,120
Jeremy pulled out 17.
With that, slightly better.
1118
01:03:42,600 --> 01:03:43,840
List.
Oh, that's not slightly.
1119
01:03:43,840 --> 01:03:45,520
Characters.
No.
1120
01:03:45,560 --> 01:03:50,040
The slightly better list of
characters helped you get that
1121
01:03:50,480 --> 01:03:52,840
lead, as well as getting a
couple more questions right.
1122
01:03:52,840 --> 01:03:56,240
Oh right, puts the end there it.
Wasn't for the questions you got
1123
01:03:56,240 --> 01:03:57,120
right.
I would have won this.
1124
01:03:59,640 --> 01:04:01,640
Yeah, so I'm like teaching would
be great with if it weren't for
1125
01:04:01,640 --> 01:04:04,800
the kids like.
This job would be great if it
1126
01:04:04,800 --> 01:04:06,800
wasn't for the customers.
Exactly.
1127
01:04:06,800 --> 01:04:08,040
Is that Clerks?
Yeah.
1128
01:04:08,360 --> 01:04:12,120
Yeah.
Well, that is so fun.
1129
01:04:12,120 --> 01:04:16,640
Thank you, everybody who
contributed to that wonderful
1130
01:04:16,640 --> 01:04:21,440
game and this wonderful season.
And we would be remiss to not
1131
01:04:21,720 --> 01:04:25,200
shout out the people who were
also on the show and, you know,
1132
01:04:25,200 --> 01:04:26,640
didn't have a guest house
question.
1133
01:04:27,240 --> 01:04:30,520
But Colleen, if you're
listening, it was so wonderful
1134
01:04:30,520 --> 01:04:33,120
to connect with you.
You shared so many anecdotes
1135
01:04:33,400 --> 01:04:36,560
about pilot Wings, you know, the
connection you had through your
1136
01:04:36,560 --> 01:04:39,600
family.
And, you know, we got to do
1137
01:04:39,600 --> 01:04:41,720
that.
Pass the controller multiplayer
1138
01:04:41,760 --> 01:04:46,160
or we, you know, tried to create
a crash scenario and then pass
1139
01:04:46,160 --> 01:04:48,160
the controller to Mike and see
if you could salvage it.
1140
01:04:48,160 --> 01:04:51,080
It was just it was just so fun.
So it's such a good time.
1141
01:04:51,120 --> 01:04:54,800
So Colleen, you're the best.
And then we had the Kid at Grass
1142
01:04:54,880 --> 01:04:58,240
episode with Josh from the Still
loading podcast and Dexter, who
1143
01:04:58,240 --> 01:05:02,160
have done a lot of Captain and
stuff, which really was just an
1144
01:05:02,160 --> 01:05:03,960
excuse to have a captain and
episode that.
1145
01:05:04,400 --> 01:05:06,920
And then accidentally, we talked
about Captain and on like three
1146
01:05:06,920 --> 01:05:10,760
other episodes this season,
which was I don't think ever my
1147
01:05:10,760 --> 01:05:12,320
doing.
Yeah.
1148
01:05:12,680 --> 01:05:15,200
Like other people made it happen
and I was just on board for it
1149
01:05:15,200 --> 01:05:17,720
every time.
It's Jamo died a little inside
1150
01:05:17,720 --> 01:05:21,840
each time.
Well, you know, what makes me
1151
01:05:21,840 --> 01:05:24,440
the opposite of dying inside is
Dempsey.
1152
01:05:24,440 --> 01:05:26,800
And coming on to talk about
Super Mario World.
1153
01:05:27,000 --> 01:05:29,760
I, I had mixed feelings because
there was a moment there where
1154
01:05:29,760 --> 01:05:32,240
we were going to try to do our
games out of or, or in order of
1155
01:05:32,240 --> 01:05:35,000
release.
But you brought so much
1156
01:05:35,280 --> 01:05:40,400
enthusiasm for Super Mario World
and you had such an academic
1157
01:05:40,400 --> 01:05:43,080
take on it.
So the Overthinking Games
1158
01:05:43,080 --> 01:05:47,520
podcast is, you know, your deal.
And I don't think you overthink
1159
01:05:47,520 --> 01:05:48,800
anything.
I think you think of things
1160
01:05:48,800 --> 01:05:52,040
exactly the right amount.
And I appreciate you bringing
1161
01:05:52,320 --> 01:05:55,120
your font of knowledge or fount
fount of knowledge font of
1162
01:05:55,120 --> 01:05:57,840
knowledge.
Anyway, it was a great episode.
1163
01:05:57,840 --> 01:05:59,640
Thank you for everything you
brought to it.
1164
01:06:00,080 --> 01:06:04,920
Solid line of guests.
Super solid beyond solid Rock
1165
01:06:04,920 --> 01:06:11,040
hard Kat, you are so wonderful.
This is this is a lot of work
1166
01:06:11,040 --> 01:06:15,160
putting this show together and
particularly this episode with
1167
01:06:15,160 --> 01:06:18,120
all the glitches and file
organization.
1168
01:06:18,120 --> 01:06:22,160
And so I just want to say thank
you and that I appreciate you.
1169
01:06:22,720 --> 01:06:25,080
Yeah.
It's one of those things that
1170
01:06:25,560 --> 01:06:29,040
I've no idea why it didn't work.
I've tested it last night and it
1171
01:06:29,040 --> 01:06:31,360
worked fine, so.
I'm gonna cut out the parts that
1172
01:06:31,360 --> 01:06:33,080
didn't work, so don't apologize
for that.
1173
01:06:35,480 --> 01:06:38,760
That's the magic of editing.
You did wonderful.
1174
01:06:39,240 --> 01:06:42,800
We have glitches, but hey, that
is how things work.
1175
01:06:43,320 --> 01:06:46,160
Yeah, that's life, right?
It's learning to dance through
1176
01:06:46,160 --> 01:06:49,240
the glitches.
And this time she did much
1177
01:06:49,240 --> 01:06:51,000
better, not laughing loud
enough.
1178
01:06:51,000 --> 01:06:52,280
I heard it from a different
room.
1179
01:06:53,400 --> 01:06:56,520
Knowing a couple of those were
coming up, I'm like, I'm looking
1180
01:06:56,520 --> 01:06:58,920
forward to seeing their
reactions to these.
1181
01:06:59,840 --> 01:07:02,640
And Kat people should check out
your YouTube channel, Kat
1182
01:07:02,640 --> 01:07:04,200
Console.
Looks like you're working on
1183
01:07:04,200 --> 01:07:06,520
something right now.
Do you have any projects you're
1184
01:07:06,520 --> 01:07:09,680
going to be unveiling in late
October?
1185
01:07:10,760 --> 01:07:14,600
No, I'm just I'm solidly trying
to work on getting some finishes
1186
01:07:14,600 --> 01:07:17,960
at the moment and mostly in
October I'm going to be working
1187
01:07:17,960 --> 01:07:21,640
on a couple of secret projects.
If cross stitching is your
1188
01:07:21,640 --> 01:07:24,080
thing, be sure to check out her
YouTube channel, Kat Can Sew.
1189
01:07:24,080 --> 01:07:27,440
Kat Can Sew, SEW.
Yes.
1190
01:07:27,520 --> 01:07:32,040
And then hopefully some point by
the end of the year I will have
1191
01:07:32,400 --> 01:07:36,000
my streaming set up.
Oh, you got a Twitch stream
1192
01:07:36,000 --> 01:07:39,040
cross stitch?
No I'm going to twitch stream
1193
01:07:39,040 --> 01:07:43,160
gaming because I have games that
I want to try and play but I
1194
01:07:43,160 --> 01:07:45,600
need help because I'm bad.
At it.
1195
01:07:46,960 --> 01:07:50,400
Yeah, so she and RiRi were
talking about the if she plays
1196
01:07:50,400 --> 01:07:53,240
Zelda games, that RiRi can come
in and guide on that.
1197
01:07:53,760 --> 01:07:57,000
Well you you gals should do the
feature where you're playing
1198
01:07:57,000 --> 01:07:59,280
together and if you play
together on switch you could
1199
01:07:59,280 --> 01:08:01,840
pass her the controller the
parts you get stuck at.
1200
01:08:01,960 --> 01:08:05,320
That would be so fun to watch.
Or I just have people tell me
1201
01:08:05,320 --> 01:08:07,320
how to get through things.
That too.
1202
01:08:08,600 --> 01:08:10,040
We're looking forward to seeing
that.
1203
01:08:10,280 --> 01:08:13,680
I, I still need to set up my, my
space for doing that.
1204
01:08:13,680 --> 01:08:16,680
So it's probably going to be
towards the end of the year.
1205
01:08:17,120 --> 01:08:18,680
Awesome.
Well, thank you for being here,
1206
01:08:18,680 --> 01:08:19,840
Kat.
You're awesome.
1207
01:08:20,439 --> 01:08:24,319
You're welcome, and I'm gonna
let you guys finish the rest of
1208
01:08:24,319 --> 01:08:29,720
your episode.
So Ciao, goodbye.
1209
01:08:31,479 --> 01:08:33,520
Or whatever they say in
Australia, Good, good day.
1210
01:08:33,520 --> 01:08:35,319
Is that offensive?
Do they say good day?
1211
01:08:35,319 --> 01:08:38,040
Is that a real thing?
That basically means hello.
1212
01:08:38,520 --> 01:08:43,880
And as somebody who says this a
lot at work, it's just because
1213
01:08:43,960 --> 01:08:47,880
it's the way we say good day.
Yeah, that if I'm not thinking
1214
01:08:47,880 --> 01:08:50,319
about it, I do drop into good
day and good night.
1215
01:08:50,760 --> 01:08:53,520
Good night, Good night, Cat.
Ciao all.
1216
01:08:54,120 --> 01:08:56,880
Right Mike, we played a lot of
great games and a couple of not
1217
01:08:56,880 --> 01:09:00,040
so great games this season.
So I want to try to do my annual
1218
01:09:00,040 --> 01:09:01,920
speed run through all the
titles.
1219
01:09:02,040 --> 01:09:05,279
How fast can I say all 24 games
from season 3?
1220
01:09:05,600 --> 01:09:09,800
Last season I did 30 games in
13.2 seconds, which means to
1221
01:09:09,800 --> 01:09:15,520
beat my record I will need to do
all 24 games in 10.6 seconds.
1222
01:09:15,520 --> 01:09:19,399
I don't, I don't think it's
possible with these titles.
1223
01:09:19,399 --> 01:09:21,760
Mike, what do you think?
You know I'll be agreeable.
1224
01:09:21,800 --> 01:09:25,880
I'll say you can't do it either.
Some of these titles are long
1225
01:09:25,880 --> 01:09:29,120
and I was struggling to shorten
them down, so let's give it a
1226
01:09:29,120 --> 01:09:31,240
try.
I hope I don't embarrass myself.
1227
01:09:31,240 --> 01:09:41,880
Here we go, 321.
This is not the right list.
1228
01:09:42,359 --> 01:09:43,680
This is not the right list, is
it?
1229
01:09:44,680 --> 01:09:46,319
No.
What happened?
1230
01:09:46,880 --> 01:09:50,800
Okay, you know what?
You know in Mario Kart when
1231
01:09:50,800 --> 01:09:53,479
you're like about to start a
race and you hit the gas too
1232
01:09:53,479 --> 01:09:56,400
soon and you just shoot smoke
everywhere?
1233
01:09:56,600 --> 01:09:58,120
False.
I was gonna say this is a lot
1234
01:09:58,120 --> 01:10:00,320
closer when you realize you've
been watching the wrong screen
1235
01:10:00,320 --> 01:10:02,120
for about the 1st 10 seconds of
a race.
1236
01:10:03,520 --> 01:10:05,600
That is a good analogy.
Okay, can I try again?
1237
01:10:06,160 --> 01:10:08,080
I mean, yeah.
For those who were confused,
1238
01:10:08,080 --> 01:10:10,960
that was the list from season 2
and I was doing really well.
1239
01:10:10,960 --> 01:10:12,840
Dang it.
OK, now the wrong titles are my
1240
01:10:12,840 --> 01:10:13,840
brain.
This is a nightmare.
1241
01:10:13,840 --> 01:10:16,320
OK, 10.2 seconds.
Can I beat it?
1242
01:10:16,320 --> 01:10:22,320
Here we go and let's win my
party for Metro, Metro 2,
1243
01:10:22,320 --> 01:10:26,920
Venice, Super Mario Two, Blast,
Chord, Cougal and Mega Man.
1244
01:10:26,920 --> 01:10:29,440
The weather was goose and goose
and goose and crystallis.
1245
01:10:29,920 --> 01:10:35,000
Oh my God, I don't even know if
I said some of those 11.1.
1246
01:10:35,480 --> 01:10:39,160
I'm not mad about that.
I I gave it my best shot.
1247
01:10:39,160 --> 01:10:41,280
I tried my best.
Well, Mike.
1248
01:10:41,280 --> 01:10:45,960
So let's get on to the next
segment of our finale, the old
1249
01:10:45,960 --> 01:10:49,640
Switcher Rooney's, where we give
a shout out to the superstars
1250
01:10:49,840 --> 01:10:55,160
and Nintendo duds of Season 3,
starting off with the Titanfall
1251
01:10:55,160 --> 01:10:58,760
Award for most underrated game.
Which one are you going with,
1252
01:10:58,760 --> 01:11:00,720
Mike?
I mean, I feel like there's only
1253
01:11:00,720 --> 01:11:03,480
one of these that really fits
the bill as most underrated.
1254
01:11:03,840 --> 01:11:06,640
OK, it's clearly Kung Fu heroes.
You're.
1255
01:11:06,640 --> 01:11:10,080
Kidding.
It's most underrated, not best,
1256
01:11:10,640 --> 01:11:12,800
and I think that that one is
underrated.
1257
01:11:13,280 --> 01:11:15,400
Because people hate it.
And you had fun with it.
1258
01:11:15,560 --> 01:11:17,400
Yeah.
OK, OK.
1259
01:11:17,400 --> 01:11:20,200
I get what you're saying.
If this if, if the floor is so
1260
01:11:20,200 --> 01:11:21,520
low.
Yeah.
1261
01:11:22,040 --> 01:11:23,000
Yeah.
All right.
1262
01:11:23,480 --> 01:11:25,840
Well, I I went a different
approach to games that people
1263
01:11:25,840 --> 01:11:27,720
actually like, which is
Crystallis.
1264
01:11:28,320 --> 01:11:32,240
I'm blown away that I didn't
know that game existed for how
1265
01:11:32,240 --> 01:11:36,080
much I liked it.
And, you know, I think it has
1266
01:11:36,080 --> 01:11:40,440
this really cool premise.
I think time did this game dirty
1267
01:11:40,600 --> 01:11:42,480
as it did the protagonist of the
story itself.
1268
01:11:42,480 --> 01:11:46,400
So Cristalis Hapney's right,
that game so cool.
1269
01:11:46,400 --> 01:11:49,880
My most underrated game.
How about next category, the
1270
01:11:49,880 --> 01:11:53,760
Paul Rudd Award for a game
that's aged beautifully.
1271
01:11:54,080 --> 01:11:55,720
I.
Think I've got to go ghouls and
1272
01:11:55,720 --> 01:11:57,280
ghosts.
Really.
1273
01:11:57,400 --> 01:12:00,600
Yeah, OK.
What what what strikes you about
1274
01:12:00,600 --> 01:12:03,320
the presentation in that one?
I like how it looks.
1275
01:12:03,320 --> 01:12:05,640
I like how it moves.
I like how it feels.
1276
01:12:06,120 --> 01:12:10,560
It is one that does not to me,
feel dated.
1277
01:12:10,560 --> 01:12:12,080
It's not one that you're
playing.
1278
01:12:12,080 --> 01:12:15,000
You're like, oh, well, yeah.
They were limited by what they
1279
01:12:15,000 --> 01:12:17,960
could do here.
Yeah, I went with Super Mario
1280
01:12:17,960 --> 01:12:21,720
Advance 2 on the Gameboy
Advance, which if you recall is
1281
01:12:21,720 --> 01:12:25,840
actually Super Mario World.
But it's the Game Boy Advance
1282
01:12:25,840 --> 01:12:28,040
port that has all those
wonderful quality of life
1283
01:12:28,040 --> 01:12:31,920
features, you know, such as the,
you know, saving more often and
1284
01:12:32,120 --> 01:12:35,840
having the how many special
coins am I still looking for?
1285
01:12:36,120 --> 01:12:40,800
And, you know, that game just
visually it's just peak Mario 2D
1286
01:12:40,800 --> 01:12:43,280
Sprite work.
And then you combine that with
1287
01:12:43,280 --> 01:12:46,320
modern functionality, Super
Mario Advance 2, I think the
1288
01:12:46,320 --> 01:12:49,560
definitive way to play that
game, and I think it has aged
1289
01:12:49,560 --> 01:12:52,400
wonderfully.
Plus then you get to hear Mario
1290
01:12:52,440 --> 01:12:55,800
every time you die or get a
power up or whatever.
1291
01:12:56,080 --> 01:12:58,560
Yeah, it's got the voice acting.
Yeah, the thing that everybody
1292
01:12:58,560 --> 01:13:02,440
thought was missing.
Well, something that no one
1293
01:13:02,440 --> 01:13:05,440
thought was missing is the
Wadham Award for weirdest and
1294
01:13:05,440 --> 01:13:09,600
wackiest game Mike, which one
made left you scratching your
1295
01:13:09,600 --> 01:13:11,720
head.
I think the one that struck me
1296
01:13:11,720 --> 01:13:15,920
just like this is such a weird
angle to go for is cuckoo land.
1297
01:13:16,400 --> 01:13:19,440
Yeah, yeah.
Just that that control approach
1298
01:13:19,440 --> 01:13:24,280
is really unique and it takes a
while to get the hang of.
1299
01:13:24,880 --> 01:13:29,480
Some would say I never did, but
I do appreciate that that that's
1300
01:13:29,480 --> 01:13:33,480
very much a what if we do
something fairly fundamentally
1301
01:13:33,480 --> 01:13:36,360
different.
I almost picked that because
1302
01:13:36,360 --> 01:13:39,600
I've never controlled a game in
quite that way.
1303
01:13:39,600 --> 01:13:42,080
I didn't like it but got to give
it to it.
1304
01:13:42,080 --> 01:13:46,240
It's super weird.
I I went with Kid Icarus on this
1305
01:13:46,240 --> 01:13:47,880
one.
Like, there were so many little
1306
01:13:47,880 --> 01:13:51,400
wacky touches in that game, and,
you know, even beyond the
1307
01:13:51,400 --> 01:13:55,000
infamous eggplant wizard that
turns you into a aubergine with
1308
01:13:55,160 --> 01:13:57,320
uncomfortably sexy legs, you got
it.
1309
01:13:57,320 --> 01:13:59,680
The credit card power up that
puts you into debt.
1310
01:13:59,920 --> 01:14:02,920
There's like Metroids in that
game, there's Rolling Stones
1311
01:14:02,920 --> 01:14:05,920
references.
I'm just really grateful for the
1312
01:14:05,920 --> 01:14:09,720
devs who fought to keep the
weirdness in that game because I
1313
01:14:09,720 --> 01:14:11,200
think that's what makes it so
iconic.
1314
01:14:11,680 --> 01:14:15,120
How about the Skies of Arcadia
award for most In need of a
1315
01:14:15,120 --> 01:14:18,520
reboot or a remaster?
I want crystallis on that.
1316
01:14:18,960 --> 01:14:22,080
OK because I feel like that game
still played pretty well.
1317
01:14:22,080 --> 01:14:24,960
What would you what would you
spruce up if you re release that
1318
01:14:24,960 --> 01:14:28,760
game?
Better hit boxes and more
1319
01:14:28,760 --> 01:14:32,400
buttons.
Yeah, yeah, something beyond A2
1320
01:14:32,400 --> 01:14:34,520
button NES controller would have
done wonders.
1321
01:14:34,520 --> 01:14:36,760
Yeah, like that's where it's
just like there's a game
1322
01:14:36,760 --> 01:14:40,320
mechanic thing here where I'm
like, if you just had further
1323
01:14:40,400 --> 01:14:43,840
technology to do this, like I
don't, I don't need the graphics
1324
01:14:43,840 --> 01:14:49,040
to change maybe a little bit in
there to give some direction or
1325
01:14:49,040 --> 01:14:53,360
to clear up triggers so that
that's a little bit less opaque.
1326
01:14:53,520 --> 01:14:55,000
You saw goodness there.
It was just kind of
1327
01:14:55,000 --> 01:14:57,880
inaccessible.
Yeah, there's a there's enough
1328
01:14:58,360 --> 01:15:00,920
show stoppers, but I'm like
these, many of them were like
1329
01:15:00,920 --> 01:15:04,880
this could be fixed.
I went with Fantasy Star Four.
1330
01:15:05,200 --> 01:15:09,040
I think that game I had some of
the highest highs of the season.
1331
01:15:09,040 --> 01:15:12,280
The story moved me so much.
I just adored the world
1332
01:15:12,280 --> 01:15:16,520
building, the epic boss battles.
But like, that was the game
1333
01:15:16,520 --> 01:15:20,360
where all of the attack and item
descriptions are so shortened
1334
01:15:20,360 --> 01:15:23,120
and truncated that we made an
entire mini game minute trying
1335
01:15:23,120 --> 01:15:27,120
to guess what it meant.
So, and that was also the game,
1336
01:15:27,120 --> 01:15:30,080
you know, with no auto save and
the part where you would like
1337
01:15:30,080 --> 01:15:33,160
veer around objects when you're
trying to interact with them.
1338
01:15:33,480 --> 01:15:38,080
It's just fantastic game.
If you can get past, I'm going
1339
01:15:38,080 --> 01:15:41,600
to say the user interface.
So that would be my choice for
1340
01:15:41,840 --> 01:15:45,600
something that could use a glow
up illumination award for the
1341
01:15:45,600 --> 01:15:48,000
game that would make a hit
movie.
1342
01:15:48,160 --> 01:15:50,960
I think I know yours.
Go ahead.
1343
01:15:51,400 --> 01:15:52,720
Ninja Gaiden, Yeah.
Obviously.
1344
01:15:54,640 --> 01:15:57,960
But I know that though, because
you went on a podcast recently
1345
01:15:57,960 --> 01:16:00,280
and talked about it.
I did talk about it over there.
1346
01:16:00,640 --> 01:16:04,240
Yeah, super wall jump.
Yeah, Super Wall Jump, which is
1347
01:16:04,640 --> 01:16:08,400
new podcast, so their second
episode, their first episode's
1348
01:16:08,400 --> 01:16:10,800
also a fun one.
But yeah, no, I mean, we talked
1349
01:16:10,800 --> 01:16:13,720
about it a little bit in that in
our episode of that too, of
1350
01:16:13,720 --> 01:16:17,040
like, why is this not a movie?
Yeah, given them the video games
1351
01:16:17,040 --> 01:16:18,920
that got movies.
I'm like this one already has
1352
01:16:18,920 --> 01:16:21,840
it.
It remains the only game that I
1353
01:16:22,040 --> 01:16:26,840
sought out all of the remaining
story scenes from the part I
1354
01:16:26,840 --> 01:16:29,600
didn't see, rather than the
gameplay I didn't see.
1355
01:16:29,920 --> 01:16:32,640
And even it had, you know, it
was kind of the creation of the
1356
01:16:32,640 --> 01:16:34,640
modern cutscene.
And, you know, they called it
1357
01:16:34,640 --> 01:16:38,800
like, Namco theater mode or not.
Not Namco, the company that made
1358
01:16:38,800 --> 01:16:42,560
it, Tecmo.
No, not Tecmo.
1359
01:16:42,560 --> 01:16:43,800
Oh, this is getting
embarrassing.
1360
01:16:44,120 --> 01:16:46,280
Anyway, they had a special
theater mode just for the
1361
01:16:46,280 --> 01:16:48,920
cutscenes.
My choice was Blast Core.
1362
01:16:49,360 --> 01:16:52,480
I think that, you know, you get
Fast and Furious style, like,
1363
01:16:52,480 --> 01:16:55,440
you know, nail biting chases and
you're crashing through
1364
01:16:55,440 --> 01:16:58,880
buildings.
But what I think makes that game
1365
01:16:59,000 --> 01:17:02,680
potentially a really cool movie
is that it's not gory.
1366
01:17:03,160 --> 01:17:06,680
You know, you can blow up a lot
of stuff on screen and keep that
1367
01:17:06,680 --> 01:17:11,680
PG or PG13 rating, but I can't
get this image out of my head.
1368
01:17:11,800 --> 01:17:14,040
So the premise, if you guys
didn't listen to that episode
1369
01:17:14,040 --> 01:17:16,680
and you should, was that, you
know, there's this runaway
1370
01:17:16,680 --> 01:17:20,520
nuclear carrier and you are
demolishing buildings to create
1371
01:17:20,520 --> 01:17:23,400
a safe path for it so we can get
to a safe detonation site.
1372
01:17:23,880 --> 01:17:26,800
And so obviously you introduce
like, you know, terrorist
1373
01:17:26,800 --> 01:17:29,880
characters who are trying to set
off the bomb and then you got,
1374
01:17:29,880 --> 01:17:32,640
you know, your protagonist
fighting on top of the carrier.
1375
01:17:32,760 --> 01:17:35,560
But you remember the sideswipe.
That's the vehicle that Nate
1376
01:17:35,560 --> 01:17:38,840
made fun of in his question
where it just has the Pistons
1377
01:17:38,840 --> 01:17:41,280
that shoot out on the left and
right side of the vehicle.
1378
01:17:41,480 --> 01:17:46,120
I can't stop picturing 2 baddies
driving up on each side of that
1379
01:17:46,120 --> 01:17:48,600
thing and then just hit it and
just knock them off the bridge,
1380
01:17:48,640 --> 01:17:50,600
you know what I mean?
On each side of them.
1381
01:17:50,840 --> 01:17:52,840
That's the money shot.
Blast Corps movie.
1382
01:17:52,880 --> 01:17:53,680
Let's make it.
Happen.
1383
01:17:53,680 --> 01:17:56,440
I like the idea of the
director's cut being or the
1384
01:17:56,440 --> 01:17:59,280
after credits being them going
back and just leveling the rest
1385
01:17:59,280 --> 01:18:01,920
of the city just for like the
achievements.
1386
01:18:02,040 --> 01:18:05,040
The high score, Yeah, that would
be hilarious.
1387
01:18:05,200 --> 01:18:07,720
That would be incredible.
See Blast score the movie.
1388
01:18:08,200 --> 01:18:12,800
So let's go on to a new
category, the 12:26 award for
1389
01:18:12,800 --> 01:18:15,080
best boxing.
Do you get my reference?
1390
01:18:15,080 --> 01:18:17,080
Yes, it is a Boxing Day
reference.
1391
01:18:17,160 --> 01:18:20,400
Yeah, awesome.
So Mike, I think you and I have
1392
01:18:20,400 --> 01:18:23,040
the same one.
I want to my mind.
1393
01:18:23,040 --> 01:18:24,120
Is your mind.
OK?
1394
01:18:24,120 --> 01:18:26,480
Ready.
I mean, I don't, I don't know
1395
01:18:26,480 --> 01:18:28,080
what you think this is going to
be.
1396
01:18:28,360 --> 01:18:30,200
OK, well let's let's let's see.
Let's see.
1397
01:18:30,200 --> 01:18:34,320
OK.
So 3 and then go ready or 321
1398
01:18:34,320 --> 01:18:35,120
and then.
On three.
1399
01:18:35,120 --> 01:18:39,960
It's always faster on three. 321
gore and ghost.
1400
01:18:42,120 --> 01:18:45,320
Whoops.
OK, never mind Mike, you hate
1401
01:18:45,320 --> 01:18:48,280
the Mario Party cover.
Honestly, when I looked at all
1402
01:18:48,280 --> 01:18:53,280
of these, I I really don't like
the three, the like the I don't
1403
01:18:53,280 --> 01:18:55,480
like the dice, the dice box
there.
1404
01:18:55,920 --> 01:18:58,560
And but I'm kind of like, you
know, if this hadn't been
1405
01:18:58,560 --> 01:19:02,200
successful, like sales wise, if
it hadn't gotten it's become a
1406
01:19:02,200 --> 01:19:05,960
franchise and that was it.
That wouldn't be a problem.
1407
01:19:06,000 --> 01:19:10,160
And when looking at all the
boxer at once in that context,
1408
01:19:10,240 --> 01:19:12,880
it jumped out at me more than I
expected it.
1409
01:19:12,880 --> 01:19:14,200
Like I was a bit surprised as
well.
1410
01:19:14,200 --> 01:19:15,400
When I'm looking at it, what
would I pick?
1411
01:19:15,400 --> 01:19:18,240
I'm like, I do kind of feel like
I'm at that at that one.
1412
01:19:18,680 --> 01:19:21,760
Yeah, it's good.
You know, it's got the 3D, you
1413
01:19:21,760 --> 01:19:25,600
know, representation of Mario.
It's all very polygonal.
1414
01:19:25,600 --> 01:19:29,120
It looks it's super N64 era.
I'm I'm not mad at that.
1415
01:19:29,280 --> 01:19:32,280
Well, you and I just both agreed
the ghouls and ghosts cover.
1416
01:19:32,280 --> 01:19:34,360
I mean, that's that's second or
third place, right?
1417
01:19:34,640 --> 01:19:36,680
Yeah, definitely did consider.
Weirdly.
1418
01:19:36,680 --> 01:19:42,800
Also, I found my In a sea of box
art, Pilot Wings stands out in a
1419
01:19:42,800 --> 01:19:46,320
way that was surprising.
The simplicity of just the word.
1420
01:19:46,320 --> 01:19:47,720
Yeah, like you just have to look
at it.
1421
01:19:47,720 --> 01:19:49,520
It's like, what the heck?
But if it's like it's the only
1422
01:19:49,520 --> 01:19:52,800
one, it's like it does.
It feels different.
1423
01:19:52,960 --> 01:19:56,040
But Golden Ghost was the other
one that I was looking at.
1424
01:19:56,280 --> 01:19:59,360
OK, so I wasn't that far.
Off I I did switch away from it,
1425
01:19:59,360 --> 01:20:02,160
but it it wasn't a runaway
decision.
1426
01:20:02,480 --> 01:20:04,080
Gotcha.
Yeah, that's that's just such a
1427
01:20:04,200 --> 01:20:08,240
cool illumination to the design.
And then the depiction of the
1428
01:20:08,560 --> 01:20:11,680
first boss in the background
looming over Arthur.
1429
01:20:11,680 --> 01:20:13,520
So epic.
I just loved it as a kid.
1430
01:20:13,520 --> 01:20:16,520
I love it today.
So this next category, it's
1431
01:20:16,520 --> 01:20:19,360
really just for Mike because
Mike, in addition to working
1432
01:20:19,360 --> 01:20:23,120
really hard on the audio editing
and lately the video editing of
1433
01:20:23,120 --> 01:20:25,800
this podcast, he also reads the
manuals before he plays the
1434
01:20:25,800 --> 01:20:27,720
games.
So I was curious.
1435
01:20:27,960 --> 01:20:31,840
The Pro Skater 2 award for best
manual cable club.
1436
01:20:31,840 --> 01:20:32,840
You get the joke.
Yeah.
1437
01:20:33,320 --> 01:20:36,760
But can I redeem myself?
I know which one you're going to
1438
01:20:36,760 --> 01:20:37,960
say.
All right.
1439
01:20:38,200 --> 01:20:43,200
OK, same thing. 321, here we go.
OK, 321-F.
1440
01:20:43,200 --> 01:20:47,760
Zero, yeah.
What makes it so good, Mike?
1441
01:20:48,240 --> 01:20:50,720
It's straight up has is
partially a comic.
1442
01:20:51,160 --> 01:20:52,720
Yeah, and.
Like one of the things that
1443
01:20:52,720 --> 01:20:55,760
comes up with a lot of these is
to the extent that the manuals
1444
01:20:56,200 --> 01:20:58,640
do world building that games
couldn't do.
1445
01:20:59,120 --> 01:21:02,200
And F0 kind of really goes above
and beyond that.
1446
01:21:02,200 --> 01:21:05,800
It's not just the stories and
the descriptions and getting a
1447
01:21:05,800 --> 01:21:09,600
feel for the characters like it
is literally several pages of
1448
01:21:09,600 --> 01:21:12,400
comic.
And and they didn't need to do
1449
01:21:12,400 --> 01:21:15,000
that for you to understand how
to play the game.
1450
01:21:15,360 --> 01:21:17,640
But that was like Chico's
favorite part is all the
1451
01:21:17,640 --> 01:21:18,760
elaborate back story.
Yeah.
1452
01:21:18,760 --> 01:21:21,880
I mean, and to be fair, like
even with that, they still have
1453
01:21:21,880 --> 01:21:25,480
also like the standard things of
like here's characters and
1454
01:21:25,480 --> 01:21:29,040
here's the ships also like they
had all of that end the comic.
1455
01:21:29,040 --> 01:21:31,040
That wasn't even as though the
comic was just the way they
1456
01:21:31,040 --> 01:21:33,960
decided to do it.
Yeah, it's really beautiful.
1457
01:21:33,960 --> 01:21:37,800
And you know, I think it's one
of the things that is
1458
01:21:38,000 --> 01:21:41,120
underappreciated when you talk
about retro games, is this whole
1459
01:21:41,320 --> 01:21:45,200
other production that sometimes
is really cool like that.
1460
01:21:45,200 --> 01:21:49,680
So awesome.
Let's get into the Nintendo
1461
01:21:49,680 --> 01:21:51,880
awards.
We are giving this to the bottom
1462
01:21:51,880 --> 01:21:54,480
three games of Season 2, and
we're going to go back and forth
1463
01:21:54,480 --> 01:21:58,800
starting with my third worst
game, or third from the bottom,
1464
01:21:58,800 --> 01:22:00,640
I guess you would say on my own
personal rankings.
1465
01:22:00,880 --> 01:22:05,240
This one was interesting because
I was so mad at Super Ghouls and
1466
01:22:05,240 --> 01:22:08,680
Ghosts being such a step down
from Ghouls and Ghosts that this
1467
01:22:08,680 --> 01:22:13,520
was that was originally my #3.
But in listening to our own
1468
01:22:13,520 --> 01:22:17,040
episode where Cyril was
defending it, I felt myself
1469
01:22:17,040 --> 01:22:20,200
softened to the game.
And it was I think the first
1470
01:22:20,200 --> 01:22:25,840
time I can think of where our
own content changed my opinion
1471
01:22:26,160 --> 01:22:30,760
later down the road.
So I have to say it's Ghosts and
1472
01:22:30,760 --> 01:22:34,680
Goblins because as frustrating
as Super Ghouls and Ghosts was
1473
01:22:35,120 --> 01:22:38,920
with the double jumping and just
the no checkpoints before a
1474
01:22:38,920 --> 01:22:42,720
boss, it was just so unpleasant
much of the time.
1475
01:22:43,120 --> 01:22:47,680
I still in my mind fondly look
back to the presentation and
1476
01:22:47,840 --> 01:22:50,280
Ghosts and Goblins.
I just didn't really enjoy the
1477
01:22:50,280 --> 01:22:53,560
gameplay or the presentation.
What was your third from the
1478
01:22:53,560 --> 01:22:55,840
bottom?
I'm going to preface this whole
1479
01:22:55,840 --> 01:23:01,200
thing with my approach towards
evaluation is sort of how much
1480
01:23:01,200 --> 01:23:02,920
do I feel I'm getting out of
something?
1481
01:23:03,240 --> 01:23:06,760
Sure.
And so it's a if I don't feel
1482
01:23:06,760 --> 01:23:10,080
like I'm getting something out
out of it, it falls into not
1483
01:23:10,080 --> 01:23:11,960
good.
And this was certainly also a
1484
01:23:11,960 --> 01:23:16,360
very competitive season in the
sense that we had a lot of games
1485
01:23:16,360 --> 01:23:20,560
that are, if not we think are
good or at least thought of as
1486
01:23:20,560 --> 01:23:21,360
good.
Yeah.
1487
01:23:22,000 --> 01:23:27,200
So we don't have a whole lot of
bad forgotten games.
1488
01:23:27,560 --> 01:23:31,680
Right.
So my third worst pick is Mega
1489
01:23:31,680 --> 01:23:36,200
Man.
Whoa, wow.
1490
01:23:36,920 --> 01:23:39,960
OK.
I never got into it and never
1491
01:23:40,040 --> 01:23:43,960
like even the the one time I
beat a boss it didn't feel fun
1492
01:23:43,960 --> 01:23:47,320
to me.
It just it it never something
1493
01:23:47,320 --> 01:23:50,400
about it, just it never clicked
in a way.
1494
01:23:50,720 --> 01:23:53,480
Yeah, yeah, You never got to the
point where you're like, I'm
1495
01:23:53,480 --> 01:23:55,480
having fun doing this and I want
to keep doing.
1496
01:23:55,480 --> 01:23:57,640
This correct?
Yeah, OK.
1497
01:23:57,640 --> 01:24:00,040
I mean, you know, it's valid.
It's it's almost at that level
1498
01:24:00,040 --> 01:24:03,280
where it's like some types of
food you're just not gonna like.
1499
01:24:03,560 --> 01:24:07,400
And it doesn't necessarily mean
that there's no value to it, but
1500
01:24:07,400 --> 01:24:09,800
for you, you would not.
Take another Yeah, it's like how
1501
01:24:09,800 --> 01:24:13,040
some people have have that have
that specific gene where
1502
01:24:13,040 --> 01:24:15,960
cilantro tastes like soap.
I have the specific gene where
1503
01:24:15,960 --> 01:24:19,560
Mega Man is not fun apparently.
Mega Man tastes like Link 2 or
1504
01:24:19,560 --> 01:24:24,160
is a venture link for you?
Well, so then my second from the
1505
01:24:24,160 --> 01:24:29,440
bottom is Kung Fu Heroes.
That game, you know, it was so
1506
01:24:29,440 --> 01:24:32,920
fun getting to play with one of
my comedy heroes, but the game
1507
01:24:32,920 --> 01:24:36,280
was just not very good.
That hit detection was just
1508
01:24:36,280 --> 01:24:38,040
awful.
And the fact that you need to
1509
01:24:38,040 --> 01:24:42,400
get specific items to progress
in the game, but there's no
1510
01:24:42,400 --> 01:24:44,840
indication of where they are
when you should get them.
1511
01:24:45,320 --> 01:24:49,160
And arbitrary things like
needing to collect ammunition so
1512
01:24:49,160 --> 01:24:52,840
you can do a kick.
It's just the game defies logic
1513
01:24:52,840 --> 01:24:55,680
and it defies fun and it's just
bad.
1514
01:24:56,480 --> 01:25:00,120
So.
But, you know, cilantro mouth
1515
01:25:00,120 --> 01:25:02,040
over here, you kind of like Kung
Fu heroes.
1516
01:25:02,560 --> 01:25:04,320
Yeah.
So what's your second from the
1517
01:25:04,320 --> 01:25:07,280
bottom?
Continuing that hit detection
1518
01:25:07,280 --> 01:25:09,000
problem.
No.
1519
01:25:09,480 --> 01:25:11,080
Oh no.
Crystallis.
1520
01:25:11,120 --> 01:25:16,880
No, Mike.
And I and it be again, kind of
1521
01:25:16,880 --> 01:25:21,000
became like even with the
finding out where I'd gotten
1522
01:25:21,000 --> 01:25:25,680
stuck due to bad guidance out of
that, like I didn't go back
1523
01:25:25,680 --> 01:25:28,640
because there there was just so
much about mostly control
1524
01:25:28,640 --> 01:25:31,840
interface and some of those
things where I'm like, there's a
1525
01:25:32,040 --> 01:25:35,640
core here, but the the problems
were such large problems for me.
1526
01:25:35,960 --> 01:25:38,840
The moment you said hit
detection, I was like, Oh no, I
1527
01:25:38,960 --> 01:25:41,320
know what he's about to say.
And I think it says something
1528
01:25:41,320 --> 01:25:43,040
that I could just be like, oh,
it hit detection problems and
1529
01:25:43,040 --> 01:25:45,520
you're like, right.
But no, you can't pick that.
1530
01:25:46,040 --> 01:25:50,160
OK, so we might have the same
bottom game then I.
1531
01:25:50,240 --> 01:25:53,880
Don't think we do.
OK, I mean, third time's a
1532
01:25:53,880 --> 01:25:54,560
charm.
Or Nah.
1533
01:25:55,200 --> 01:25:59,080
No, no, no, go ahead to your
yours because I, I have no idea
1534
01:25:59,080 --> 01:26:02,800
where yours is going to be.
I look, I just, I don't think
1535
01:26:02,800 --> 01:26:05,600
the game works.
And it's not to say that it's
1536
01:26:05,640 --> 01:26:11,800
buggy, but I think it just never
in any moment achieves a game's
1537
01:26:11,800 --> 01:26:14,520
most important goal, which is to
be fun.
1538
01:26:15,040 --> 01:26:18,080
So clue, clue land.
Sorry, Bubbles.
1539
01:26:18,280 --> 01:26:21,120
Listen, I'm a real feminist, OK?
I'm not going to say that you
1540
01:26:21,120 --> 01:26:25,840
accomplished something if you
did, except what I just much
1541
01:26:25,840 --> 01:26:27,600
love to the, you know,
character.
1542
01:26:27,600 --> 01:26:32,960
But the idea of flying around
and grabbing these signposts to
1543
01:26:32,960 --> 01:26:37,040
turn novel concept.
But I just think there's a
1544
01:26:37,040 --> 01:26:39,560
reason that pretty much games
never really did this again.
1545
01:26:39,560 --> 01:26:43,280
I guess King of Swing but that
game controls so differently
1546
01:26:43,280 --> 01:26:46,120
it's hard to say it's the same
mechanic.
1547
01:26:46,120 --> 01:26:50,160
So sorry Andrew, but clue Clue
and is my bottom of season 3.
1548
01:26:50,160 --> 01:26:52,760
What's yours?
Super ghosts and ghosts.
1549
01:26:53,320 --> 01:26:56,280
Yeah, OK, Yeah, you really hated
that game.
1550
01:26:57,400 --> 01:26:59,960
Yeah, and I feel it's worth
noting, like since I played all
1551
01:26:59,960 --> 01:27:02,680
these on stream, people can go
and see how not having a good
1552
01:27:02,680 --> 01:27:04,240
time.
I am on all three of those.
1553
01:27:04,720 --> 01:27:06,200
Yeah, that's fair.
There's you.
1554
01:27:06,240 --> 01:27:07,600
You have the receipts.
Yeah, yeah.
1555
01:27:07,600 --> 01:27:09,320
And it's not it.
This isn't like I played 5
1556
01:27:09,320 --> 01:27:13,120
minutes and got fed up, like an
hour or an hour and a half to
1557
01:27:13,120 --> 01:27:19,200
which I never reached the boss.
And the other two were probably
1558
01:27:19,200 --> 01:27:24,040
closer to two to three hours,
maybe a bit more than that.
1559
01:27:24,040 --> 01:27:27,600
Mega Man, because Mega Man, I
tried every boss on each of the
1560
01:27:27,600 --> 01:27:29,280
first 3.
Kudos to you.
1561
01:27:29,280 --> 01:27:31,720
That's a lot of tries.
Yeah, it's a lot, a lot of
1562
01:27:31,720 --> 01:27:34,160
failure I hadn't gotten.
To grad school, I would never
1563
01:27:34,160 --> 01:27:37,200
been prepared for that.
Well, Doctor Lund, I think
1564
01:27:37,200 --> 01:27:38,720
you're more successful than you
let on.
1565
01:27:38,960 --> 01:27:41,600
How about we?
Transition to the successes of
1566
01:27:41,600 --> 01:27:44,240
the season, our Superstar Awards
for the top three games.
1567
01:27:44,560 --> 01:27:48,840
Third choice for me is a modern
game, F-099.
1568
01:27:48,920 --> 01:27:52,640
I just think that game is so
generous, it's so feature rich,
1569
01:27:53,040 --> 01:27:56,320
it's free to play.
But just the premise of we're
1570
01:27:56,320 --> 01:27:58,800
going to take the Super Nintendo
game and we're going to make it
1571
01:27:59,280 --> 01:28:03,800
with 98 other online players.
And you'd never know it, but the
1572
01:28:03,800 --> 01:28:06,920
game, it runs so smoothly.
It's just like, I can't think of
1573
01:28:06,920 --> 01:28:09,080
a single thing that that game
should have done differently.
1574
01:28:09,600 --> 01:28:12,440
So kudos to you, Nintendo, for
supporting that game for so
1575
01:28:12,440 --> 01:28:14,080
long.
And whoever thought of the idea?
1576
01:28:14,280 --> 01:28:16,560
Chef's kiss F-099, What's your
third place?
1577
01:28:16,880 --> 01:28:19,520
Mario Super Pick Cross.
OK.
1578
01:28:19,560 --> 01:28:22,440
Yes, yes, this is your kind of.
Game, yes.
1579
01:28:22,920 --> 01:28:25,600
The and you, you had played
these kind of games before, you
1580
01:28:25,600 --> 01:28:27,280
just didn't know there was a.
Name for it.
1581
01:28:27,720 --> 01:28:30,360
I played them before, I didn't
know that Pick Cross was
1582
01:28:30,360 --> 01:28:33,560
actually a brand name.
But you said Mario super pic
1583
01:28:33,560 --> 01:28:36,200
cross but didn't you like the
Game Boy one more I.
1584
01:28:36,200 --> 01:28:39,920
In ended up enjoying both.
There's a lot more in.
1585
01:28:39,920 --> 01:28:42,480
Mario Super Pic Cross and with
that one, it's faster to get to
1586
01:28:42,480 --> 01:28:44,200
the Wario mode that I prefer
more.
1587
01:28:44,560 --> 01:28:48,520
Sure, the graphics were
initially a problem, but I was
1588
01:28:48,520 --> 01:28:51,120
able to change settings that
displayed better on my TV, which
1589
01:28:51,120 --> 01:28:54,560
was a weird customization thing
that I was not actually
1590
01:28:54,560 --> 01:28:57,560
expecting.
But yeah, no, that's I still
1591
01:28:57,560 --> 01:29:01,560
haven't beaten the Wario side of
that, but you're going to go
1592
01:29:01,560 --> 01:29:03,800
back to it.
I imagine I probably will at
1593
01:29:03,800 --> 01:29:06,280
some point.
It's more that that's
1594
01:29:06,280 --> 01:29:08,800
definitely.
A those kind of games are very
1595
01:29:08,800 --> 01:29:10,200
much like second screen kind of
games.
1596
01:29:10,200 --> 01:29:14,120
And so instead I've just dropped
like 100 hours into a different
1597
01:29:14,560 --> 01:29:17,160
game of this style on my
computer because I can be
1598
01:29:17,160 --> 01:29:19,280
playing that while watching TV
for sure.
1599
01:29:19,600 --> 01:29:22,600
For sure Elbow again, Mike, you
can lift your Switch out of that
1600
01:29:22,600 --> 01:29:26,480
dock.
No, I, I, I treat switches like
1601
01:29:26,480 --> 01:29:28,280
the Queen Mary.
It's like, yeah, technically
1602
01:29:28,280 --> 01:29:30,320
that can leave.
But it stays in dock.
1603
01:29:31,280 --> 01:29:33,480
Wow, that was.
Did you have that ready or did
1604
01:29:33,480 --> 01:29:35,320
you think of that just now?
Just now.
1605
01:29:35,800 --> 01:29:39,040
Wow, well done.
Well, Speaking of well.
1606
01:29:39,040 --> 01:29:39,880
Done.
Second favorite?
1607
01:29:39,880 --> 01:29:41,880
Game for me.
Honorable mentioned the Ninja
1608
01:29:41,880 --> 01:29:45,320
Gaiden, but it narrowly lost out
to Lynx Awakening.
1609
01:29:45,720 --> 01:29:50,040
I think that that game being a
Game Boy Color game, it's so
1610
01:29:50,040 --> 01:29:53,520
impressive how fun it was.
But what really pushes it over
1611
01:29:53,520 --> 01:29:58,120
the edge for me is the setting,
and particularly the dreamlike
1612
01:29:58,120 --> 01:30:01,520
setting combined with the Mario
characters.
1613
01:30:01,840 --> 01:30:04,920
It made the whole thing feel
like I was in like this Nintendo
1614
01:30:04,920 --> 01:30:07,960
theme park decades before that
was actually possible.
1615
01:30:07,960 --> 01:30:10,880
You know, So seeing like the
chain chomps and the Goombas and
1616
01:30:10,880 --> 01:30:14,120
the little side scrolling
sections, Link's Awakening just
1617
01:30:14,120 --> 01:30:17,640
feels magical.
And so I was surprised because I
1618
01:30:17,640 --> 01:30:21,000
think Ocarina of Time is
probably regarded as the
1619
01:30:21,000 --> 01:30:23,880
superior Zelda game.
But Link's Awakening, I'm a top
1620
01:30:23,880 --> 01:30:25,840
down boy.
I'm just, I'm a top down Zelda
1621
01:30:25,840 --> 01:30:27,880
boy.
And Link's Awakening is my #2
1622
01:30:27,920 --> 01:30:30,240
what about you?
Of those two that I would that's
1623
01:30:30,520 --> 01:30:33,200
that is the one I would take
Link's Awakening.
1624
01:30:33,400 --> 01:30:34,880
I would take awakening over
Ocarina time.
1625
01:30:34,960 --> 01:30:37,000
Cool.
OK, So what was your second?
1626
01:30:37,000 --> 01:30:39,040
Place.
Mine was Super Mario World.
1627
01:30:39,760 --> 01:30:42,160
Oh, you're not a platformer guy
though.
1628
01:30:42,640 --> 01:30:46,760
Not generally I I think or.
I'd say not generally I.
1629
01:30:46,760 --> 01:30:50,560
Think that has enough to it that
it becomes it doesn't feel like
1630
01:30:50,720 --> 01:30:54,480
it's usually about how precisely
can you do this specific
1631
01:30:54,480 --> 01:30:58,720
platforming and certainly, I
guess technically speaking that
1632
01:30:58,720 --> 01:31:04,080
I really mean whatever stupid
and Super Mario Advance Super
1633
01:31:04,080 --> 01:31:06,120
Mario World Super Mario Advance
2.
1634
01:31:06,360 --> 01:31:08,720
Yes, that one.
Really.
1635
01:31:08,720 --> 01:31:11,920
I mean that because with that.
Sort of checkpointing.
1636
01:31:12,440 --> 01:31:15,880
Not being great, you can still
push through it.
1637
01:31:15,880 --> 01:31:18,080
Could have done that right the
first time, like we talked
1638
01:31:18,120 --> 01:31:20,200
about, like Ninja Gaiden did
that right right out of the
1639
01:31:20,200 --> 01:31:23,480
gate.
But with that to the point where
1640
01:31:23,480 --> 01:31:25,320
it's like if I just kind of just
have to get through this bit
1641
01:31:25,320 --> 01:31:27,200
once and I'm kind of locked in
it.
1642
01:31:27,360 --> 01:31:28,320
Good.
You made it.
1643
01:31:28,840 --> 01:31:32,280
Like I don't think I would be
able to push through it and go
1644
01:31:32,280 --> 01:31:35,920
back to it enough if I wasn't
having enough fun to it.
1645
01:31:36,400 --> 01:31:40,320
And I kind of at a certain point
did the quick rush to, OK, let's
1646
01:31:40,320 --> 01:31:43,560
just beat this game, which also
was doable, which is a nice
1647
01:31:43,560 --> 01:31:47,360
point.
But the ability to go back and
1648
01:31:47,360 --> 01:31:50,120
find additional exits out of
stuff and that kind of
1649
01:31:50,120 --> 01:31:52,800
exploration is neat.
Like, I didn't do much of it
1650
01:31:52,800 --> 01:31:55,440
just for time's sake, but like,
I like that that's there.
1651
01:31:55,920 --> 01:31:58,680
It was fun to stumble upon a few
of them and be like, hey, wait a
1652
01:31:58,680 --> 01:32:00,880
minute, that's a thing.
Yeah.
1653
01:32:00,880 --> 01:32:02,720
It also gives you a different
path to the level.
1654
01:32:02,720 --> 01:32:04,960
So in theory, if something is
really challenging, there might.
1655
01:32:04,960 --> 01:32:07,360
Be another way to go.
Yeah, turns out that that there
1656
01:32:07,360 --> 01:32:10,040
what the part in the regular
levels that I got stuck at,
1657
01:32:10,200 --> 01:32:11,400
that's exactly what.
Was happening.
1658
01:32:11,400 --> 01:32:14,240
There was another way to go that
I didn't realize that's sweet.
1659
01:32:14,480 --> 01:32:17,160
I'm I'm I'm glad you like it so
much so my number one game.
1660
01:32:17,160 --> 01:32:19,880
I was kind of surprised.
That and I think nostalgia
1661
01:32:19,880 --> 01:32:22,320
glasses are really influencing
this decision.
1662
01:32:22,800 --> 01:32:28,360
But Ghouls and Ghosts on the
Sega Genesis, it is so good.
1663
01:32:28,520 --> 01:32:34,080
The aesthetic is so imaginative.
The bosses are so frightening.
1664
01:32:34,480 --> 01:32:39,080
The ability to shoot up and down
South rapidly is so satisfying.
1665
01:32:39,400 --> 01:32:41,160
And, you know, it's a game
that's known for being
1666
01:32:41,160 --> 01:32:44,040
notoriously hard, but it's also
one of the few games that I beat
1667
01:32:44,280 --> 01:32:46,680
without cheating, without having
to rewind.
1668
01:32:46,680 --> 01:32:48,960
And that includes going back
through the game a second time.
1669
01:32:49,320 --> 01:32:52,680
And I was just like, even when I
was dying, I was like, this is
1670
01:32:52,680 --> 01:32:54,840
so fun.
And I can't wait to try that
1671
01:32:54,840 --> 01:32:57,440
spot again.
And then, you know, because I
1672
01:32:57,480 --> 01:33:00,760
think I think you can kind of
naturally progress through that
1673
01:33:00,760 --> 01:33:04,720
game in a way that a lot of
platformers of that era, you
1674
01:33:04,720 --> 01:33:08,760
sort of get locked out by like
an overly challenging bit.
1675
01:33:09,200 --> 01:33:13,760
So I just love this game.
It's it's my kind of dark horse
1676
01:33:13,760 --> 01:33:16,160
number one pick for Season 3.
What was yours?
1677
01:33:16,600 --> 01:33:20,360
Ghouls and ghosts.
Whoa, yes, really.
1678
01:33:20,960 --> 01:33:22,560
Is there anything that you?
Like that I didn't already
1679
01:33:22,560 --> 01:33:24,600
mention.
I don't think so.
1680
01:33:24,600 --> 01:33:26,240
I think it it just, I think it
looks good.
1681
01:33:26,240 --> 01:33:29,920
I think it plays.
Well, I think it there's a good
1682
01:33:29,920 --> 01:33:31,360
feel to it.
I like that I can kill the
1683
01:33:31,360 --> 01:33:36,040
stupid zombies as they're coming
into the thing rather than
1684
01:33:36,040 --> 01:33:38,080
having them appear in a box and
have to wait for that.
1685
01:33:41,680 --> 01:33:43,560
So yeah, like there there's a
lot that I.
1686
01:33:44,160 --> 01:33:45,600
It's I just, I had I had fun
with it.
1687
01:33:46,120 --> 01:33:48,560
Absolutely.
Oh I wish we did the 321
1688
01:33:48,560 --> 01:33:50,000
countdown thing.
That would have been perfect.
1689
01:33:50,440 --> 01:33:54,040
Well, so then it's official.
The Breath of the Wild award for
1690
01:33:54,040 --> 01:33:57,880
season 3 is Ghouls and Ghosts.
Mike and I have a rare moment of
1691
01:33:57,880 --> 01:34:01,600
agreement, but go to our
Discord, join up on our Discord,
1692
01:34:01,600 --> 01:34:04,720
and don't forget to hit that
like button and vote on the
1693
01:34:04,720 --> 01:34:08,280
Virtual Boy award for the worst
game of Season 2 or Season 3.
1694
01:34:08,280 --> 01:34:10,960
Excuse me?
We might have to rename that now
1695
01:34:10,960 --> 01:34:12,760
that they're bringing that to
me, right?
1696
01:34:12,760 --> 01:34:16,640
That's going to get confusing.
In I imagine season 4, we'll
1697
01:34:16,640 --> 01:34:19,080
see.
But anyway, what do you think is
1698
01:34:19,080 --> 01:34:21,160
the worst game?
Clue Clue Lander Super ghouls
1699
01:34:21,160 --> 01:34:22,680
and ghouls.
I'm feeling pretty good about my
1700
01:34:22,680 --> 01:34:26,000
odds on this one.
Yeah, no, I'm, I'm not seeing
1701
01:34:26,000 --> 01:34:28,200
that vote going in agreement
with me.
1702
01:34:28,640 --> 01:34:32,160
Or, you know, if it's one that
neither of us picked as the
1703
01:34:32,160 --> 01:34:34,960
worst, feel free to let us know.
Yeah, that won't be on the
1704
01:34:34,960 --> 01:34:36,920
choices, but I'm curious.
Yeah.
1705
01:34:37,400 --> 01:34:37,920
Yeah.
Good call.
1706
01:34:37,920 --> 01:34:40,120
Good call.
Okay, Mike, so that was fun.
1707
01:34:40,120 --> 01:34:42,000
Another old Switcher Roonies in
the bag.
1708
01:34:42,600 --> 01:34:46,520
Well, so let's go ahead and wrap
up the episode here by doing our
1709
01:34:46,520 --> 01:34:50,880
Nintendo official Switch list
for season 3.
1710
01:34:51,200 --> 01:34:54,920
Things that we are hoping come
to Nintendo Switch Online slash
1711
01:34:54,960 --> 01:34:57,400
Nintendo classics.
Other than hoping for a better
1712
01:34:57,400 --> 01:35:01,760
name for the whole thing, Mike,
what are you hoping comes to the
1713
01:35:01,760 --> 01:35:05,280
service?
Well, now I'm going to start off
1714
01:35:05,280 --> 01:35:08,840
with briefly.
Holy diver.
1715
01:35:09,000 --> 01:35:12,000
I would like that now because
that's a game we now know exists
1716
01:35:12,120 --> 01:35:14,040
Yeah shout out to Cyril.
That game sounds amazing.
1717
01:35:14,040 --> 01:35:15,760
He helped re release that with
Retrobit.
1718
01:35:16,160 --> 01:35:16,680
Yeah.
So it's like.
1719
01:35:16,680 --> 01:35:19,400
I would like that on something
that I can play, but yeah,
1720
01:35:19,840 --> 01:35:21,600
beyond that, I.
Think the first one I'm going to
1721
01:35:21,600 --> 01:35:26,800
say is SP mode on more games,
especially multiplayer games
1722
01:35:26,800 --> 01:35:30,280
where things are locked behind
beating stuff in single player.
1723
01:35:30,720 --> 01:35:33,920
Yeah, 100% of my offer to get a
tattoo still stands.
1724
01:35:33,920 --> 01:35:37,320
Nintendo, if you're listening.
Bring back SP mode for Nintendo
1725
01:35:37,320 --> 01:35:42,600
Switch online slash classics and
let us play these games at
1726
01:35:42,600 --> 01:35:47,000
maximum fun because we're your
audience is adults now.
1727
01:35:47,000 --> 01:35:50,200
The people who played in 64 are
adults now.
1728
01:35:50,720 --> 01:35:52,400
Meet us where we're at,
Nintendo.
1729
01:35:52,680 --> 01:35:56,640
That and like a bunch of those
were when you just had the game,
1730
01:35:56,640 --> 01:35:58,720
you had a ton.
Of time to beat it so that you
1731
01:35:58,720 --> 01:36:00,040
could then get to the cool
things.
1732
01:36:00,440 --> 01:36:04,360
Yeah, you.
You're giving us over 300 games.
1733
01:36:06,200 --> 01:36:09,000
I have many options if I just
want to play something.
1734
01:36:09,440 --> 01:36:10,680
Let me get to the part I want to
play.
1735
01:36:11,040 --> 01:36:15,120
Mike and I both have switch twos
now and so.
1736
01:36:15,480 --> 01:36:18,920
Mike, I'm not sure if you've
seen the rumor or kind of fan
1737
01:36:18,920 --> 01:36:23,560
mock up of the Nintendo DS
peripheral that they could
1738
01:36:23,560 --> 01:36:27,120
release for the Switch 2,
because the Switch 2 has a USBC
1739
01:36:27,120 --> 01:36:31,520
port in the top and the bottom.
So you could release a foldable
1740
01:36:31,520 --> 01:36:35,560
second screen that plugs into
that top USBC port.
1741
01:36:35,960 --> 01:36:37,840
And granted, you'd, you know,
probably have to play it in
1742
01:36:37,840 --> 01:36:40,400
handheld mode, but that'd be a
really cool way to bring
1743
01:36:40,400 --> 01:36:43,320
Nintendo DS games to Nintendo
classics because the bottom of
1744
01:36:43,320 --> 01:36:46,480
the screen would have a touch
screen like the DS had.
1745
01:36:46,840 --> 01:36:48,960
And then you have the second
screen or, you know, I guess.
1746
01:36:49,400 --> 01:36:51,160
I mean, I don't think you can do
a thing where like you're
1747
01:36:51,160 --> 01:36:53,680
holding the Switch and it's
airplane to the television and
1748
01:36:53,680 --> 01:36:55,480
that's your second screen.
I don't think the Switch has
1749
01:36:55,480 --> 01:36:58,240
that kind of capabilities.
In fact, I'm sure it doesn't.
1750
01:36:58,360 --> 01:37:01,160
So that would be neat And then
you know what you guys are
1751
01:37:01,160 --> 01:37:04,040
making a virtual boy peripheral
like this.
1752
01:37:04,120 --> 01:37:08,880
This is a better idea than that.
So so go for that And Mike, you
1753
01:37:08,920 --> 01:37:12,160
had a wish for a game.
Oh no, it was holy diver.
1754
01:37:12,160 --> 01:37:16,320
You'd said mine.
I think I actually have a pretty
1755
01:37:16,320 --> 01:37:17,720
good chance of getting this
time.
1756
01:37:17,720 --> 01:37:20,280
Still waiting on clay fighter,
still waiting on rampage.
1757
01:37:20,600 --> 01:37:24,560
But now that we have GameCube
games, there was a warrior where
1758
01:37:25,040 --> 01:37:29,400
television like not portable
game for the GameCube called
1759
01:37:29,400 --> 01:37:32,320
Wario Wear incorporated mega
party games.
1760
01:37:32,320 --> 01:37:37,720
Are you familiar?
I am not 2003 GameCube port of.
1761
01:37:37,720 --> 01:37:40,680
The Gameboy Advance game.
But what made it so fun is it's
1762
01:37:40,680 --> 01:37:44,480
that Wario wear gameplay of
rapidly cycling through 4 second
1763
01:37:44,480 --> 01:37:46,600
games.
But it's four players, so you're
1764
01:37:46,600 --> 01:37:51,560
taking turns and my brothers and
IA whole summer played this one
1765
01:37:51,560 --> 01:37:56,320
mode where like you're standing
on top of turtles and every time
1766
01:37:56,560 --> 01:38:01,160
you lose a mini game, an extra
turtle is added to your stack.
1767
01:38:01,640 --> 01:38:05,640
And so the game becomes who's
going to fall over last?
1768
01:38:05,960 --> 01:38:08,280
Who can keep their balance the
longest?
1769
01:38:08,520 --> 01:38:12,320
And if you're good at the mini
games, your balance is easier
1770
01:38:12,320 --> 01:38:14,200
because your stack of turtles
isn't as high.
1771
01:38:14,400 --> 01:38:18,040
It's so much fun and you know,
I'm optimistic I'm going to get
1772
01:38:18,040 --> 01:38:20,120
that one.
So so fingers crossed here.
1773
01:38:20,640 --> 01:38:24,160
Two other things that I have on
my wish list #1.
1774
01:38:24,680 --> 01:38:30,000
I want another Sega system.
Oh OK and honestly not picky
1775
01:38:30,000 --> 01:38:32,640
witch I want that.
Sort of.
1776
01:38:32,640 --> 01:38:35,920
Connection to be continuing to
be fed.
1777
01:38:36,320 --> 01:38:40,640
Yes, I agree and I think it does
something as well to.
1778
01:38:41,120 --> 01:38:42,720
Bring in people.
Who?
1779
01:38:42,760 --> 01:38:45,320
That's where their their
nostalgia is.
1780
01:38:45,520 --> 01:38:46,680
Yeah.
To go.
1781
01:38:46,680 --> 01:38:50,840
Hey, we do know you exist.
And we have your.
1782
01:38:50,840 --> 01:38:54,480
Stuff here as well, you know, so
I'm going to I'm going to
1783
01:38:54,480 --> 01:38:56,560
piggyback on your idea because
like, you know, if you.
1784
01:38:56,560 --> 01:38:59,160
Can bring the Virtual Boy and
the kind of cool thing about
1785
01:38:59,160 --> 01:39:01,760
Virtual Boy on Nintendo classics
is that we're going to get to
1786
01:39:01,760 --> 01:39:04,680
play pretty much the entire
catalog because it was not
1787
01:39:04,680 --> 01:39:09,320
successful so almost every game
is coming do the Sega 32X
1788
01:39:09,800 --> 01:39:12,840
because you're going to get the
click bait of what is that that
1789
01:39:12,840 --> 01:39:17,120
was not popular but there's also
like games on there that people
1790
01:39:17,120 --> 01:39:19,680
would love to play like Knuckles
Chaotics.
1791
01:39:20,040 --> 01:39:22,600
It's the only you know Sonic
game where Knuckles was the
1792
01:39:22,600 --> 01:39:25,520
primary protagonist and a lot of
beloved characters came from
1793
01:39:25,520 --> 01:39:29,520
that game so people they're not
going to spend X amount of
1794
01:39:29,520 --> 01:39:31,480
dollars hunting down that game
on eBay.
1795
01:39:32,040 --> 01:39:34,840
But you know it was also a fully
cartridge based system so there
1796
01:39:34,880 --> 01:39:37,360
wouldn't be any issues with like
the full motion video or the
1797
01:39:37,360 --> 01:39:40,400
rights to actual actors that you
would run into if you did Sega
1798
01:39:40,400 --> 01:39:44,080
CD Sega CD is mostly known for
its full motion games so Sega
1799
01:39:44,080 --> 01:39:46,120
32X make it happen.
I like that idea, Mike.
1800
01:39:46,120 --> 01:39:46,880
Good.
Good on you.
1801
01:39:46,880 --> 01:39:50,640
What was the other one?
And then, of course, as always,
1802
01:39:50,800 --> 01:39:52,840
cruising.
Cruising USA, please.
1803
01:39:52,840 --> 01:39:55,600
Yeah, keep putting.
That out into the universe,
1804
01:39:56,000 --> 01:39:59,840
yeah, that's that's awesome.
So Mike, final thoughts on
1805
01:39:59,840 --> 01:40:02,320
Season 3, you want to go first
or should I go first?
1806
01:40:02,800 --> 01:40:05,720
I will go first because I feel
like you have a more prepared.
1807
01:40:05,720 --> 01:40:10,400
Final thoughts of sorts.
So certainly it's been a lot of
1808
01:40:10,400 --> 01:40:12,360
Season A.
Lot of.
1809
01:40:12,480 --> 01:40:16,640
Fun guests that have brought us
into contact with other fan
1810
01:40:16,640 --> 01:40:20,880
communities out there.
So it has been that has been fun
1811
01:40:21,200 --> 01:40:24,960
and certainly a lot of this
benefits from those connections
1812
01:40:24,960 --> 01:40:30,440
because hey, we do a video game
podcast is a very common line on
1813
01:40:30,440 --> 01:40:32,040
the Internet.
What?
1814
01:40:32,280 --> 01:40:35,440
We're not the only one, Mike.
There's at least three.
1815
01:40:37,600 --> 01:40:40,680
So certainly.
That helps in the same vein.
1816
01:40:41,160 --> 01:40:42,920
If you listen to the.
Stuff which if you're hearing
1817
01:40:42,920 --> 01:40:45,640
this, you by definition do
listen to this stuff.
1818
01:40:46,120 --> 01:40:49,000
If you know people that you
think would also dig this,
1819
01:40:49,000 --> 01:40:52,560
please share.
It is very hard to make
1820
01:40:52,560 --> 01:40:56,480
discoverability work and one of
the most trusted things is if
1821
01:40:56,480 --> 01:40:59,480
someone says, hey, you guys
should check this out and you're
1822
01:40:59,480 --> 01:41:01,880
a lot of lovely people, everyone
connected to the show, everyone
1823
01:41:01,880 --> 01:41:04,840
listening, everybody.
Helping us make it, you know,
1824
01:41:05,200 --> 01:41:09,120
I'll, I'll bet the people that
you know are probably pretty rad
1825
01:41:09,120 --> 01:41:11,240
too.
So spread the word, bring them
1826
01:41:11,240 --> 01:41:13,480
to our discord.
You know, if they have a game
1827
01:41:13,480 --> 01:41:15,000
they're really passionate about,
let us know.
1828
01:41:15,560 --> 01:41:17,560
You know, it's it's it's been
one of the greatest things about
1829
01:41:17,560 --> 01:41:22,560
this podcast.
So not to bring the room down
1830
01:41:22,560 --> 01:41:24,760
too much or anything.
I had a bit of a health scare
1831
01:41:24,760 --> 01:41:28,080
over summer.
I got I got my very first ulcer.
1832
01:41:28,080 --> 01:41:29,480
Mike, are you familiar with
ulcers?
1833
01:41:30,640 --> 01:41:31,880
Yes.
Yeah.
1834
01:41:31,880 --> 01:41:34,200
So I don't know if you've had
the pleasure, but it's.
1835
01:41:34,200 --> 01:41:36,000
It's pretty awful.
It's like a hole.
1836
01:41:36,000 --> 01:41:39,400
In the side of my stomach.
And the hope was that it, you
1837
01:41:39,400 --> 01:41:41,800
know, was something that's
curable simply through
1838
01:41:41,800 --> 01:41:44,520
prescriptions.
But it's not that kind of ulcer.
1839
01:41:44,600 --> 01:41:48,640
It's like a stress one.
And this show is so much fun to
1840
01:41:48,640 --> 01:41:50,640
me, like, it fills my bucket so
much.
1841
01:41:51,040 --> 01:41:53,760
But it's the the work that goes
into this.
1842
01:41:53,760 --> 01:41:56,320
It's one of the few things that
Mike and I have a modicum of
1843
01:41:56,320 --> 01:41:59,200
control over.
Like I can't make my students
1844
01:41:59,200 --> 01:42:00,680
less stressful.
God bless them.
1845
01:42:01,080 --> 01:42:04,480
I'm the union Rep for my teacher
union, and so that's super
1846
01:42:04,480 --> 01:42:06,600
important.
So basically I'm trying to say
1847
01:42:06,600 --> 01:42:10,720
is that going into Season 4,
we're changing format slightly.
1848
01:42:10,720 --> 01:42:14,440
We're going to stick to one game
per episode, which I think will
1849
01:42:14,440 --> 01:42:16,600
let us explore the games a bit
more.
1850
01:42:16,600 --> 01:42:19,320
And you know, I think the format
works a little bit better that
1851
01:42:19,320 --> 01:42:23,000
way, but we're still going to be
releasing on the same schedule.
1852
01:42:23,000 --> 01:42:25,120
And a lot of that is due to
Mike's hard work.
1853
01:42:25,120 --> 01:42:27,680
Mike has stepped up and taken on
more of the response, the
1854
01:42:27,680 --> 01:42:30,480
ability of running this thing.
So if you appreciate that the
1855
01:42:30,480 --> 01:42:33,520
switcheroo is gonna keep going,
releasing every other week, be
1856
01:42:33,520 --> 01:42:35,440
sure to thank Mike because he's
really stepped up.
1857
01:42:35,440 --> 01:42:38,240
And, you know, when I had to
step back a little bit, he's
1858
01:42:38,440 --> 01:42:40,120
he's.
I just appreciate it, Mike.
1859
01:42:40,120 --> 01:42:43,600
I really, really do.
And please listen next season
1860
01:42:43,640 --> 01:42:47,520
because we love doing this and
we hope that you love listening
1861
01:42:47,520 --> 01:42:48,480
to it.
Yeah.
1862
01:42:48,560 --> 01:42:52,640
And so that next season will
start roughly around.
1863
01:42:52,920 --> 01:42:54,760
The end of this year, the start
of next year.
1864
01:42:55,080 --> 01:42:58,680
But we will have some episodes
in between now and then.
1865
01:42:58,680 --> 01:43:01,520
Still, we'll do some more light
switches that will allow us to
1866
01:43:02,080 --> 01:43:03,960
have some more relaxed episodes
in there.
1867
01:43:04,360 --> 01:43:06,000
Yeah.
And we'll be talking about stuff
1868
01:43:06,000 --> 01:43:08,200
that's not necessarily covering
games, but just, you know,
1869
01:43:08,200 --> 01:43:10,640
different stuff.
That we've been up to and you
1870
01:43:10,640 --> 01:43:12,680
know, I'm excited for it and I'm
by the way, and I'm fine.
1871
01:43:12,680 --> 01:43:14,760
I don't know if I said that, but
like I'm not in danger or
1872
01:43:14,760 --> 01:43:17,200
anything.
I just got to take it a little
1873
01:43:17,200 --> 01:43:19,880
easier.
But anyway, I don't know about
1874
01:43:19,880 --> 01:43:22,880
you, Mike, but I think this
season has been an E excellent.
1875
01:43:23,160 --> 01:43:28,600

1878
01:43:35,080 --> 01:43:38,120

And please listener, don't
forget to like and subscribe.
1880
01:43:41,920 --> 01:43:45,480
This has been the old switcheroo
where we're still talking gaming
1881
01:43:45,480 --> 01:43:48,760
retro with Mike and Jamo.
I've been Mike and I've been
1882
01:43:48,760 --> 01:43:50,240
Jamo.
Game on everyone.
1883
01:44:04,000 --> 01:44:05,840
Do that to me.
Here we go.
1884
01:44:07,360 --> 01:44:08,960
Of course, now it's being
stubborn.
1885
01:44:09,440 --> 01:44:10,680
Is this part of it?
Is it like an?
1886
01:44:10,680 --> 01:44:12,600
Escape room thing we have to.
Fix the glitch?
1887
01:44:12,600 --> 01:44:13,600
No, no.
I.
1888
01:44:13,600 --> 01:44:17,080
Have a glitch and it's not
letting me play 1.
1889
01:44:17,080 --> 01:44:20,280
Of those files, Doki Doki DLC
club.
1890
01:44:20,520 --> 01:44:21,920
That was a solid reference I'm
sure.
1891
01:44:21,920 --> 01:44:25,080
I just don't know that game.
I know what it is, I just.
1892
01:44:25,240 --> 01:44:27,920
Don't have an attachment enough?
So have you not played Doki Doki
1893
01:44:27,920 --> 01:44:29,440
Literature club?
No, never.
1894
01:44:29,720 --> 01:44:31,640
You should check that out.
That's one where the students
1895
01:44:31,640 --> 01:44:34,080
have to solve a murder.
By dawn or.
1896
01:44:34,080 --> 01:44:36,360
They all die, isn't?
It I mean, if you know the
1897
01:44:36,360 --> 01:44:38,520
murders by Dawn, what's the
mystery?
1898
01:44:38,960 --> 01:44:40,840
Wow.
That definitely wasn't worth it.

I'm Aussie Expat living in the USA, I'm not a huge gamer do play some but not as much as I could but that is because I'm a Cross Stitcher, Cosplayer and Sewist. I tend to work on all the huge overly complicated projects whatever craft I'm working on and this will steal all the time. I added to the crafty crazy by starting a Flosstube (fibrearts youtube) which lets me share what I'm working on with more people. These days most of my gaming is hidden object and puzzle games that can be knocked out in a few hours.
