S4E16: 16th-bit Retro-Spective Season 4 Finale
It’s time to celebrate the end of our biggest season yet of The Old SwitchAroo with the 16th-bit Retro-spective Season 4 Finale as Mike and Jaymo reflect on their epic quest to research and review every retro game in the Nintendo Switch Online catalog!
In this episode, we start off with another edition of "Guest Hosts", this time with our guest Guest Host guest host Ryan warboss5 as he skippers the way through another head-to-head video game trivia competition with questions from many of the wonderful guests that we've had this season. In the Old Switcharoonies, Mike and Jaymo will award some of the more notable games that got played this season. They'll also look back at some of the memorable parts of this season, discuss what they're hoping to see next from Nintendo Classics and the Nintendo Switch Online service (they can't keep not releasing Cruis'n USA forever), and encourage everyone to join the community if you haven't already, and to share it with people that you think would enjoy this as well.
Thanks for listening, and a very special thanks to Kristal Fields of The Lazy Circles for our catchy new theme song!

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and

00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:37,960
rainbow in between, Welcome to
the old Switcheroos 16 bit

00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:42,280
retrospective.

But without further ado, allow

00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:53,080
Gaming Retro with Mike and Jamo.

It means a lot, Mike.
Season 4, literally our biggest
14
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:20,920
one ever whopping 22 episodes
counting all the light switches.
15
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:23,520
How does it feel to be at the
end of this odyssey we've been
16
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:25,160
on for Season 4?
Good.
17
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:27,640
It has definitely been a long
season.
18
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:32,160
There's been a lot in there, so
it's nice to have it end.
19
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:36,680
It's good to have closure.
As Derek and I said in the
20
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:41,440
Silent Hill two episode.
Well, we've had so many amazing
21
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:45,840
guests this season like this,
from celebrity guests to
22
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:49,640
wonderful friends returning and
new friends being made.
23
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:51,680
So thanks to those wonderful
people.
24
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:54,800
We are excited to treat our
listeners to return of one of
25
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:59,120
our most popular segments, Guest
Hosts, which is a trivia
26
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:01,360
showdown all about the Games
from Season 4.
27
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:05,160
Mike's lovely wife Kat could not
join us this time around, but as
28
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:08,560
you heard in the intro, Mike has
arranged a guest guest host,
29
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:11,320
guest host.
Mike, you want to get our guest,
30
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:13,280
guest host, guest host over
here?
31
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:17,360
Yes, so we are glad to find
another way to bring Ryan back
32
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:19,680
on to the show.
People may remember that when he
33
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:25,480
did a question, he already was
in host mode, so it seemed a
34
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:29,520
natural fit to see if he'd be
willing to come back and MC our
35
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:31,880
way through this.
Thank you for being here, Ryan.
36
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:34,560
It's a pleasure to be back.
I'm looking forward to the
37
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:37,240
evening.
Some of the got got a whole host
38
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:38,880
of wonderful questions down
here.
39
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:41,760
Going to going to be very
interesting to see what answers
40
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:45,320
you guys pick tonight.
I'm so excited to have who won
41
00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:47,160
last season, Mike, I think you
did.
42
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:50,360
That feels right.
I thought you won the last
43
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:52,400
season, but I won.
I had won the first one season,
44
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:54,640
but I'm not sure.
Let's call it a tie to make this
45
00:02:54,640 --> 00:02:58,160
extra interesting.
So Ryan is going to run us
46
00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:01,360
through the questions submitted
by our lovely guests and Mike
47
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:03,640
and I will guess and we'll find
out how we did.
48
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:05,800
Ready to roll?
Ready, ready.
49
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:09,480
All right, let's do it.
All right, so this first
50
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:14,240
question is coming from Episode
1 of this season.
51
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:18,200
Hey, Mike and Jamo, it's Derek
here from the Underrated Movie
52
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:21,480
Podcast.
I talked about the best video
53
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:24,880
game of all time with you guys,
The Legend of Zelda, Majora's
54
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:27,360
Mask.
So I'm here to ask you a little
55
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:31,880
bit of trivia about that game.
In Zora Hall.
56
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:35,720
When you enter, you can go into
different rooms of the different
57
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:39,560
band members of the Indiegogo's.
Each of them are playing a
58
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:43,400
different song from a past Zelda
game.
59
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:48,680
My question for you is which of
these themes was not playing in
60
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:53,920
one of the band members rooms?
Is it a the dungeon theme from
61
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:58,560
the original Legend of Zelda?
Is it B the game over screen
62
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:02,160
from the same game?
Is it C The Cave theme from the
63
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:04,240
Legend of Zelda a link to the
Past?
64
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:09,040
Or is it D the Ballad of the
Wind fish from Legend of Zelda
65
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:14,720
Links awakening?
That is really fascinating and
66
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:16,800
wonderful.
War boss five.
67
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:20,959
Who guesses first?
Oh, that's a good question.
68
00:04:20,959 --> 00:04:25,440
On all future questions, we'll
go ahead and let whoever's in
69
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:30,600
the lead answer first, but for
now I'm going to do a toss up.
70
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:33,560
I'm thinking of a number between
1:00 and 10:00.
71
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:37,840
Who wants to guess what it is
closest gets to answers 2nd.
72
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:41,600
Oh OK, OK.
I think it was 8.
73
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:46,360
I got a weird premonition.
I'm going to go full on 8/7.
74
00:04:47,840 --> 00:04:51,280
Lucky #7.
Damn, off to a bad start.
75
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:57,800
So that means you're first, Jay.
I believe that it would be
76
00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:00,200
totally odd.
Wait, hold on.
77
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:03,120
Am I explaining my logic, Mike?
It's up to you.
78
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:05,320
You know what?
You don't usually change your
79
00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:08,760
answers after I talk it out.
You're usually a man of honor.
80
00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:13,920
So I think it would be totally
odd to have a Game Over theme B
81
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:15,960
ambient music in the background.
So I'm going to guess that that
82
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:19,360
one was not in Majora's Mask.
So I believe that.
83
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:22,200
Was BI?
Was going to guess the dungeon
84
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:25,880
theme A for this part of
Majora's Mask that I believe I
85
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:29,360
never reached.
OK, you might be right, because
86
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:31,680
it might be too recognizable to
us to be distracting.
87
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:33,560
Uh Oh, no, I'm thinking my
answer.
88
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:40,640
So Giapis plays a version of the
Dungeon theme on the bass in his
89
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:46,280
room, Evan plays a version of
the Game Over theme on the
90
00:05:46,280 --> 00:05:53,200
guitar, and finally Tejo plays a
version of the Link to the Past
91
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:57,200
Cave theme on the drums.
Which means, of course, by
92
00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:01,720
process of elimination, the
answer is D Ballad of the Wind
93
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:04,800
Fish.
Of course there is a way for
94
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:09,760
Link and all of his virgins to
play a song with that same name
95
00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:13,880
later on in a place other than
Zora Hall.
96
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:18,000
But that is a song that merely
shares the same name with that
97
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:20,000
song.
And it is more of a tribute
98
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:24,560
Allah Tenacious D than the
actual song from Link's
99
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:26,760
awakening.
Thank you once again guys for
100
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:29,160
letting me be on your amazing
show.
101
00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:32,600
Cannot wait till next year.
Excited to listen back to this
102
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:35,040
and here.
If I managed to stump either of
103
00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:37,320
you guys till then, I'll see
y'all later.
104
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:41,480
Well, good news Derek, you got
us, you bastard.
105
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:45,720
It does make a certain amount of
sense that it would be Ballad of
106
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:48,320
the Wind Fish.
After all, the world is already
107
00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:50,240
ending.
You don't need to play a song
108
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:53,360
that also ends the world.
Right, yeah, it'd be a hat on a
109
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:55,320
hat, wouldn't it?
Yeah, exactly.
110
00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:58,120
Darren Because that's the one
bit where like they kept talking
111
00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:00,440
about like, I know that song and
apparently I don't.
112
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:03,400
What's so interesting because
Derek was also on our Links
113
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:05,640
Awakening episode, and I thought
for sure he would have
114
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:07,720
mentioned.
Well, I guess that's why he
115
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:09,680
didn't mention it because it
wasn't a thing.
116
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:11,360
Yeah, I should have thought my
way through that one.
117
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:15,480
Derek, I truly treasure the
relationship that we have and
118
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:18,680
that our podcast have had.
If you didn't catch it, he
119
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:21,880
fulfilled a dream of mine, got
me on stage at Wondercon for how
120
00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:24,920
video game films get good panel
or get good.
121
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:27,920
Excuse me.
And yeah, many, many more
122
00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:30,040
collabs to come.
You're you're an Alzheimer.
123
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:34,640
All righty.
Our next question is going to be
124
00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:39,680
from Episode 2, Chibi Robo.
Hello, and this is Lawson from
125
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:42,640
Super Wall Jump, and I have a
question for you about Chibi
126
00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:44,720
Robo.
There's a lot of toys in the
127
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:47,480
Sanderson household, but this
one toy is the.
128
00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:51,400
Favorite of the dad?
Is it a kid?
129
00:07:51,400 --> 00:08:00,400
Eggplant B Freaky Phil C Dina.
D Drake, Red Crest or E Captain
130
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:05,720
Plankbeard.
All good options, but I am going
131
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:11,560
to go with Captain Red Crest.
Captain Red Crest, the second to
132
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:13,320
last one.
Was that D or E?
133
00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:16,680
Mike, That was D, right?
That was D Drake red Crest.
134
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:18,880
There it is, Drake Red Crest.
That's my answer.
135
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:23,280
That is also my answer, although
I would contend Shibi Robo
136
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:27,000
itself feels like a more apt
answer.
137
00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:29,960
Is that a toy though?
I don't think Shibi Robo's a
138
00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:35,760
toy.
You wouldn't call a Roomba a
139
00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:37,720
toy, and he's essentially a
sentient.
140
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:39,320
Roomba.
He also wouldn't give a Roomba
141
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:41,480
to a kid for their birthday.
I would.
142
00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:45,360
Is that bad?
Probably Brian, what's the
143
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:46,800
answer?
The answer?
144
00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:50,680
Is.
The answer to your listener is D
145
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:55,000
Drake Redcrest.
This Captain Falcon look alike
146
00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:59,040
steals the show in whatever
scene he's in, and he also stole
147
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:03,800
the dad's heart.
That's a point for you both.
148
00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:06,400
You are currently tied at one
point a piece.
149
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:08,600
You brought lost into our
shores, right Mike?
150
00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:12,640
Yes.
It's a really love going on his
151
00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:14,360
show.
Talk about Nintendo Switch
152
00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:19,160
Online in general is is funny
how I you know, if you can't
153
00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:22,400
tell by our wonderful game show
announcer that we pulled out of
154
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:25,720
thin air.
This is very rehearsed and a big
155
00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:27,320
production.
And what I love, Lawson, is that
156
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:30,600
on your show conversation came
so easy and it was wonderful.
157
00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:32,600
Just talk just just Gabin in
general.
158
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:35,040
So I love that so much.
All right, Ryan, you got another
159
00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:37,320
one.
Yes, we actually have.
160
00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:42,360
The next two questions will be
from the Episode 3 Tecmo Bowl.
161
00:09:42,680 --> 00:09:50,520
First one is a video.
Ohh, sorry Mike and Jamo didn't
162
00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:52,840
see you there.
It's me, Jordan, the most
163
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:56,720
handsome and charismatic member
of the Arcadiology podcast My
164
00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:57,840
Championship Rings and I.
Here.
165
00:09:57,840 --> 00:09:59,600
We're just playing all the game
with tech, mobile and the
166
00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:01,760
arcade.
And it got me thinking, we know
167
00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:05,280
an awful lot about how Bo
Jackson plays in the game, but
168
00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:08,160
how much do we really know about
Bo Jackson himself?
169
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:12,200
So I got to ask you, what number
did Bo Jackson wear with the
170
00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:19,560
Raiders?
Was it A25B34 or C37?
171
00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:28,960
I mean, that's distracting
because he's so charismatic and
172
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:33,440
handsome.
But Bo Jackson, I feel like I
173
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:35,680
saw a lot of pictures of this
guy doing research for that
174
00:10:35,680 --> 00:10:38,160
wonderful episode, so I'm going
to get B34.
175
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:45,080
I felt like there was a 2 in his
number somewhere so I'm going
176
00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:47,840
with 25.
A Yeah, yeah.
177
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:49,800
All right.
Let's see.
178
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:55,040
All right.
And the correct answer is of
179
00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:58,600
course B 34.
Now watch this touchdown.
180
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:11,800
OK, well, almost at this point.
Oh my gosh.
181
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:15,360
I am so excited after that one
that we also have a Brad
182
00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:17,680
question coming up next that is.
Yes, we do.
183
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:21,400
That is awesome.
Oh my gosh, and thank you for
184
00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:24,160
not mentioning how thoroughly
you guys stomped us when we
185
00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:27,680
competed in Tecmo right before
recording.
186
00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:31,120
So much fun arcadiology.
Let's get the other one in here.
187
00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:35,640
Absolutely.
And since Jamo, since you are in
188
00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:37,120
the lead, you will be answering
first.
189
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:39,640
I mean, you have been up till
now, but now it's official.
190
00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:42,160
Yeah, well, I'm just glad I
pulled ahead on a sports
191
00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:43,600
question.
That feels real good for the
192
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:45,360
number of times Mike's like,
well, we all know you're not a
193
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:48,280
sports guy.
Who's the sports guy now, Bucks?
194
00:11:48,560 --> 00:11:51,120
I've always been very clear I'm
not a Pro Football person.
195
00:11:51,560 --> 00:11:52,880
Clear.
That is, That's true.
196
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:55,840
Hey, this is Brad from
Arcadiology.
197
00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:59,000
I join you guys with Jordan on
the Tecmo Bowl episode.
198
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:01,600
I don't actually know anything
about football, I just kind of
199
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:03,040
ended up there because of
Jordan.
200
00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:06,120
So I'm going to switch it up on
you guys for this one, the old
201
00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:08,760
switcheroo if you will.
As you may remember from the
202
00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:12,040
episode, I'm not really much of
A sports guy, however, I'm more
203
00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:14,320
into E sports.
So we're going to throw a Halo
204
00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:16,240
question at you.
Keep you guessing here.
205
00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:19,840
And competitive Halo 2, what was
the primary starting weapon used
206
00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:24,240
in MLG tournaments?
The DMR, the battle rifle, the
207
00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:31,120
SMG, or the assault rifle?
I feel like knowing how
208
00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:34,560
competitive Halo 2 ran and how
much the battle rifle was a
209
00:12:34,560 --> 00:12:38,360
staple, I almost feel like it's
like starting paintball with
210
00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:40,080
like your standard paintball
rifle.
211
00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:43,040
So I'm going to guess the battle
rifle which I believe was BI.
212
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:48,600
Don't have the slightest clue
and assault rifle felt like a
213
00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:53,040
solid guess that that's in most
games so I'm going with the
214
00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:55,880
assault rifle which was D.
Huge mistake.
215
00:12:57,280 --> 00:12:59,520
The correct answer is the battle
rifle.
216
00:12:59,560 --> 00:13:02,400
Middle range precision weapon
with a scope and a four shot
217
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:04,840
kill.
The SMG was a standard starting
218
00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:06,560
weapon.
The assault rifle wasn't
219
00:13:06,560 --> 00:13:10,960
introduced until Halo 3 and the
DMR wasn't included until Halo
220
00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:13,400
Reach though.
Also a precision rifle.
221
00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:16,280
Hope that didn't suck too bad,
but bring it back around real
222
00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:17,920
quick.
I want to make a amendment to my
223
00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:19,800
statement on the Tecmo Bowl
episode.
224
00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:23,640
I ended up citing that the NES
version was the better one.
225
00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:26,000
However, I think that was a
little bit skewed by playing
226
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:28,480
some multiplayer in the final
hours with Jamo before
227
00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:30,600
recording.
The console version is the
228
00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:33,880
better pick for multiplayer, but
I kind of think that the arcade
229
00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:35,600
version is my favorite for
single player.
230
00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:38,640
Nice simple quick games you can
hop into easily.
231
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:41,920
Makes for some quick fun.
But anyway, thanks for another
232
00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:43,640
season guys.
I'm looking forward to see we
233
00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:47,480
got for us next year.
I love that he listens to the
234
00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:50,320
episodes.
You should all listen to the
235
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:52,320
episodes.
That is so funny.
236
00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:53,880
Yeah.
I mean, you know, maybe we'll
237
00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:55,000
hash it out next time you're on
Brad.
238
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:58,080
But I I still stand by the NES
being the better version.
239
00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:02,840
You know that Arcade 1 is just
too easy to get out of a tackle.
240
00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:05,880
Look at me talking football.
Look at me pulling ahead on Mike
241
00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:07,320
even further.
I like that he's like, oh,
242
00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:08,840
assault rifle.
Seems like he's in every game.
243
00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:13,440
Immediately proved wrong.
That's like how you define
244
00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:17,160
assault rifle, right?
Yeah, I mean, aren't most rifles
245
00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:22,520
used to assault in some way?
Let's keep this going, Ryan.
246
00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:26,360
All righty, so the next clip
will require a slight
247
00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:29,720
introduction.
This is from Cyril from the
248
00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:33,840
Telero Boxer episode 5.
He doesn't give his name when he
249
00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:36,720
reads the question, so I figured
I'd give him an intro.
250
00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:42,280
Hey guys, let me ask you a
question.
251
00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:45,360
Have you ever been in a Turkish
prison?
252
00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:48,000
No.
Well, I have.
253
00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:52,040
In fact, I'm in one right now,
so I should probably keep it
254
00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:54,480
down.
You see, when I was rescued
255
00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:57,680
after being stranded in the
ocean for most of the year,
256
00:14:57,680 --> 00:15:01,800
apparently I was tried and
convicted for a crime that I
257
00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:04,560
didn't even commit.
The whole thing's a blur,
258
00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:07,200
really.
All I know is that I've been
259
00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:11,240
locked in here without any food
or water for months, but at
260
00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:15,280
least I have Internet access.
And this insanely long roll of
261
00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:18,160
fruit by the foot guys, you got
to see this thing.
262
00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:20,000
It's more like fruit by the
mile.
263
00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:24,200
Anyway, the upside to all this
time in solitary confinement is
264
00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:26,880
that they gave me a chance to
come up with a really good
265
00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:30,560
Virtual Boy question.
I hope that nobody else asked
266
00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:32,720
you this.
All right, here's the question.
267
00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:37,440
Next Generation reviewed 11
Virtual Boy games using their
268
00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:40,280
five point scale.
What is the average score of
269
00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:44,280
those 11 Virtual Boy games
closest to the nearest 10th?
270
00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:48,920
Remember, they used A5 point
scale, so don't get confused.
271
00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:53,200
I want to know which of you 2 is
better at guessing averages.
272
00:15:57,640 --> 00:16:02,920
So as Cyril mentioned, you will
be guessing a number from zero
273
00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:06,400
to five.
It goes down to the tenths
274
00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:12,000
place.
So 3.62 point 8, all valid
275
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:15,720
selections.
So Jamo, you are still in the
276
00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:17,400
lead.
So let's hear your number.
277
00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:20,240
First winner is whoever gets
closest.
278
00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:24,040
I am not mad, I'm mad.
I'm guessing math right now.
279
00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:26,280
Both to be going up against
Mike, but also because I was
280
00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:28,440
laughing so hard during that
that I got dizzy.
281
00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:32,240
Like Oh my God, the fruit by the
vile thing might be the funniest
282
00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:34,000
joke we've ever had on this
freaking show.
283
00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:37,960
I don't know why that tickled me
so much, but focus Jamo focus I
284
00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:41,960
I know Virtual Boy was not
critically loved.
285
00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:44,160
I have to assume that in
addition to how much that thing
286
00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:48,640
hurts to play to this day, it's
also probably because the games
287
00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:51,880
are not being well received.
So I'm going to guess on the
288
00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:56,000
lower half and I'm going to say
average of 2.4 out of five.
289
00:16:57,040 --> 00:17:00,600
I am going to go with what I
wrote down before you reached a
290
00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:05,680
number and I'm going to say 2.2.
OK, I like that he has to let
291
00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:07,359
everyone know that I didn't sway
him.
292
00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:12,480
You're not you're not prices
writing $101.00 in him.
293
00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:16,240
He also said prices right rules
didn't apply, so that's 2.3
294
00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:21,920
numbers tied.
It is not 2.3, so we will have a
295
00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:26,119
winner here.
Oh, boy.
296
00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:29,880
Oh, hey there.
Sorry, I'm, I'm a little out of
297
00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:32,000
breath.
I just broke out of that Turkish
298
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:34,560
prison back there and I've been
running ever since.
299
00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:38,760
I don't suppose either of you
know a guy who's really good at
300
00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:42,440
removing tattoos because I've
got this really big one on my
301
00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:44,560
chest, the prison that I just
escaped.
302
00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:48,400
This thing is really big and
shockingly elaborate.
303
00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:50,760
I, I don't want to spend the
rest of my life having to
304
00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:54,200
explain why it's there.
All right, I, I guess we should
305
00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:56,720
just get on with it.
Here's the answer to the
306
00:17:56,720 --> 00:18:00,080
question that I asked.
As I mentioned before, Next
307
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:03,600
Generation reviewed 11 Virtual
Boy games.
308
00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:08,640
That includes Mario Clash,
Mario's Tennis, Telero Boxing,
309
00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:14,200
Golf, Nestor's Funky Bowling,
Panic Bomber, Red Alarm, Space
310
00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:17,320
Pinball, Tetris 3D, and Vertical
Force.
311
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:21,000
Three of those games earned a
three out of five, they gave
312
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:24,920
four of them a two out of five,
and the rest got the lowest
313
00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:27,600
score possible, a one out of
five.
314
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:33,160
In the end, the average review
score was 1.9 out of five.
315
00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:38,120
Now, if both of you somehow said
1.9 and you need a tie breaker,
316
00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:43,480
it's actually 1.91 out of five.
Yeah, they didn't like the
317
00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:45,440
Virtual Boy.
Not at all.
318
00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:55,680
Now, if you'll excuse me, I hear
wolves in the distance and the
319
00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:58,560
only thing I've eaten in three
months is Fruit by the Foot.
320
00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:02,000
I say that if I can get myself
out of this mess, we should do
321
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:05,560
another one of those podcasts.
Maybe a game that next
322
00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:08,080
generation even liked.
Maybe.
323
00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:16,320
All right, doodles.
That was so good, I'm not even
324
00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:20,000
mad that I lost.
He's probably all right, right?
325
00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:24,160
Yeah, yeah, I'm I'm relieved to
see him back from the future or
326
00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:26,120
the the last season finale we
did.
327
00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:31,560
Speaking of Odyssey, that's
amazing, Cyril, you are one of
328
00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:33,120
the most talented people I've
ever met.
329
00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:36,960
Like I I it means so much to me
that you made that question.
330
00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:38,680
And and to hear that you want to
come back.
331
00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:45,680
Defunct games, one of the OG and
most well researched websites on
332
00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:47,920
the Internet, let alone video
game websites.
333
00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:50,760
Yeah, you got to check it out.
That was amazing.
334
00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:55,720
I want to know what the tattoo
was I'm trying.
335
00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:57,480
Is it a fruit by the foot
tattoo?
336
00:19:57,480 --> 00:19:59,160
Did he just get so enamored with
it?
337
00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:02,920
Maybe one day we'll find out.
Bowser looking over his
338
00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:06,240
sunglasses on a surfboard.
Yes, that's right.
339
00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:07,440
Yeah.
And the notes are coming out.
340
00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:09,560
The pot?
Yeah, one of those.
341
00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:12,960
What's one of those two necked
guitars?
342
00:20:13,120 --> 00:20:15,040
Yeah, 2 necked guitars.
Yeah, that's it.
343
00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:21,240
Well done, well done Mike Trevor
would be proud.
344
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:25,480
All right, so with that, Mike is
starting to come back.
345
00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:27,520
Moved it to within a single
point.
346
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:31,720
Jamo still in the lead as we
move into our next question from
347
00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:38,200
Episode 6, Earthbound.
Hey Mike and Jamo, it's Taylor
348
00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:41,000
from Wild Mouse here, and I got
a question for you about
349
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:44,400
Earthbound in the war against
the Gigas.
350
00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:47,600
Screen at the beginning with the
UFOs attacking the gas station.
351
00:20:48,120 --> 00:20:50,920
There is a very specific guitar
lick that plays.
352
00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:53,880
That guitar like is credited to
MD Seger.
353
00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:57,160
The thing is, MD Seger is a
pseudonym.
354
00:20:57,560 --> 00:21:01,160
So my question for you is who is
MD Seger?
355
00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:03,800
Now?
Your choices are a Journey
356
00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:08,720
guitarist Neil Shawn B Super
Mario Brothers creator Shigeru
357
00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:14,000
Miyamoto, C Earthbound designer
Akihiko Miyora, or.
358
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:16,560
D.
Japanese guitar prodigy Hisato
359
00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:20,560
Takanaka AKA Char.
What do you think?
360
00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:26,800
I am blown away by that
question.
361
00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:29,040
That's some trivia because I
researched these games pretty
362
00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:33,560
thoroughly.
So I I, I believe this this is
363
00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:36,040
going to be weird, but just, I
feel like somewhere in my
364
00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:38,680
research I remember seeing Char
as a name.
365
00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:44,560
So I'm going to go D the
legendary Japanese guitarist the
366
00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:46,720
the person whose name was behind
the letter.
367
00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:53,200
DI am going to go with B because
I have I was hoping to be like
368
00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:55,200
maybe there's an anagram here or
something to know I.
369
00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:57,880
Just don't know why they would
hide the name of the Mario
370
00:21:57,880 --> 00:21:59,360
Maker.
You'd think that like, the
371
00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:03,080
company would want to put his
name on it. 2 paychecks?
372
00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:09,080
Let's see.
So the answer is in fact B
373
00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:12,200
Shigeru Miyamoto, who in
addition to creating Super Mario
374
00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:15,480
Brothers, also created such
acclaimed games as Donkey Kong,
375
00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:17,920
The Legend of Zelda, and Star
Fox.
376
00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:22,480
Who knew?
Well, you knew I didn't.
377
00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:26,960
Mike has tied it up.
Dang it, Mike, you are you.
378
00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:28,720
You're a wild mouse All Star
now, aren't you?
379
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:33,880
I don't know where that it feels
like a moving target on that.
380
00:22:34,360 --> 00:22:36,280
What's he been on three times
then?
381
00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:37,480
Yes.
Yeah.
382
00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:41,440
You've been on for the Blue
Bayou restaurant.
383
00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:45,640
Blue Bayou for revolution and
for.
384
00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:49,000
Halloween one, right?
Wasn't it a Halloween event?
385
00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:50,120
It was a Halloween 1.
I can't.
386
00:22:50,120 --> 00:22:54,280
I can't remember if it was knots
as a whole or we focused
387
00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:57,680
specifically on the hanging.
It was, yeah, I know.
388
00:22:57,720 --> 00:22:58,800
I knew.
You just talked about Halloween
389
00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:00,040
Hunt.
You talked about the event.
390
00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:02,440
Yeah, so it's so not scary for
him as a whole.
391
00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:05,400
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I love that podcast.
392
00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:09,440
And Derek and I went on to talk
about the Mario ride and debate
393
00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:10,840
whether or not it was actually
good.
394
00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:12,880
So be sure to check out Wild
Mouse.
395
00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:17,360
That's that's it's, it's such a
good podcast idea I'm mad I
396
00:23:17,360 --> 00:23:19,200
didn't think of it first.
I love the old Switcher, don't
397
00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:22,720
get me wrong, but like if I had
a side hustle it would totally
398
00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:25,280
be theme park rides.
What a fun show.
399
00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:27,400
And he's just back from a break,
too.
400
00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:28,880
That's right.
That's right.
401
00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:32,840
And with a new guest host.
All right, so since we are now
402
00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:36,080
tied up, we're gonna go ahead
and let Mike answer first on
403
00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:40,880
this next one, which is our
first question from a non main
404
00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:43,320
episode.
This is going to be from the
405
00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:48,600
screen time episode for the
Super Mario Brothers movie, or
406
00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:50,280
Super Mario Galaxy movie I
should say.
407
00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:54,800
Hi, this is Lisa from Geek Pop.
You might have last heard me on
408
00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:56,960
the Super Mario Galaxy movie
episode.
409
00:23:57,480 --> 00:24:01,240
I have a question related to the
Super Mario Galaxy movie.
410
00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:05,040
In the Super Mario Galaxy movie,
there is a monkey that Mario and
411
00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:08,200
his friends run into.
This monkey manages to steal
412
00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:11,600
Mario's hat in a chase and sues.
Who is this monkey?
413
00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:16,000
A Kiki from A Link to the Past.
BU.
414
00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:23,800
Kiki best known from Super Mario
64 C Both Kiki is a Yuki key.
415
00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:29,560
They are one in the same.
That third question threw me for
416
00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:33,960
a loop.
I didn't got to shut up because
417
00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:35,320
you're guessing first, Mike, ha
ha.
418
00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:40,200
I am going to guess B.
Yeah, I don't.
419
00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:43,200
I, I remember distinctly the
trivia was that it's not the
420
00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:45,880
monkey from Zelda, and that in
fact is a monkey from a
421
00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:48,120
different Mario game.
But they're very similar.
422
00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:51,160
So I go B as well.
That was my logic was I thought
423
00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:54,040
the fact was that's not a
correct trivia thing that people
424
00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:57,000
were saying.
The answer is.
425
00:24:57,520 --> 00:25:02,640
B You Kiki.
So a point for both of you bring
426
00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:05,560
you both up to 4.
So since we're still tied, is
427
00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:08,160
the onus of going first gonna
bounce back and forth ping pong
428
00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:10,880
style?
So that was my original idea,
429
00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:15,800
but then you just kept answering
first, so in the beginning.
430
00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:18,400
So I think it's only fair if
Mike answers 1st again on this
431
00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:19,440
next one.
Love it.
432
00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:25,040
Take that.
All right, Next up is the first
433
00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:29,720
question from a bonus episode
from the Star Wars Episode 1 Pod
434
00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:33,320
Racer game.
Hey everybody, it's Nick and
435
00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:36,840
Josh from Smashing Game Time.
That's right, you might Remember
436
00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:41,440
Me from the Star Wars Episode 1
Racer episode, which of course
437
00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:44,800
we played it on the Switch, but
when it released it was readily
438
00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:46,880
available across multiple
consoles.
439
00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:50,760
With that being said, which
console did not see its release?
440
00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:58,520
Is it a Dreamcast B Mac C
Gameboy Color or D PlayStation?
441
00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:02,160
I know the answer, but I'm
shutting up.
442
00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:11,760
This feels like a trick, but I'm
going to go with my best
443
00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:15,520
possible guess.
Or I guess I'll be impressed if
444
00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:17,920
it had ended up on the Game Boy
Color, which it may well have,
445
00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:20,400
but that feels like not the
easiest of ports.
446
00:26:21,360 --> 00:26:25,680
Well, Mike, in my knowledge is
Nintendo Power segment of that
447
00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:28,440
episode, I actually discussed
how it did have a Game Boy Color
448
00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:31,000
port.
So I'm going to really flex my
449
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:33,320
muscles and say it is definitely
D PlayStation.
450
00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:37,640
If you guessed the D
PlayStation, you are correct.
451
00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:41,480
Great job guys, great season.
We can't wait for the next one.
452
00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:45,560
Amazing season, keep it up.
You know my victories made all
453
00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:46,960
the sweeter by Nick being in
there.
454
00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:50,280
I I missed you this season,
Nick, but that is such a fun
455
00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:51,760
episode.
And Mike, just to be clear, like
456
00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:54,200
it felt wrong doing a Star Wars
episode without you.
457
00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:58,840
But pod racer was so good and we
you know, we were so excited to
458
00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:03,080
get Josh back on the show.
And I love that I've now beaten
459
00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:05,880
you at the sports and Star Wars
questions Like I I am the
460
00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:10,760
captain now, Mike, which I guess
means that you were the captain
461
00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:12,160
this whole time.
You know, I don't want to be the
462
00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:13,240
captain.
You be the captain again.
463
00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:16,080
Look at me, look at me.
I don't want to be the captain.
464
00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:19,200
I got weird.
Ryan, next question?
465
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:22,920
Next question, we're going back
to the regular episodes for a
466
00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:26,480
question from Episode 8, Quest
for Camelot.
467
00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:32,400
Hey guys, congratulations on the
conclusion of yet another season
468
00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:34,720
of the old switcheroo.
That's very exciting.
469
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:37,760
My name is Steve Gunley.
You might know me as the host of
470
00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:41,760
Ultra 64, We Universe Cinema,
Arcade, Puppet Masters, Castle
471
00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:44,040
Freaks.
I do a lot of podcasts and I was
472
00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:48,080
very excited to get to join your
podcast to talk about the movie
473
00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:52,560
and game of Quest for Camelot, a
movie that obviously looms very
474
00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:56,000
large in all of our hearts.
I think we walked away from that
475
00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:59,560
episode with a real impression
on the characters actor of Blade
476
00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:02,280
Beak.
Now, Blade Beak is voiced by an
477
00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:06,320
actor best known as a catch
phrase delivery system on a
478
00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:08,800
popular sitcom.
Now, I'm going to give you the
479
00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:12,200
catch phrase and I want you to
tell me which catch phrase is
480
00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:14,960
ascribed to the actor who plays
Blade Beak.
481
00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:20,080
Is it #1A?
Is it #2?
482
00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:25,280
Whoa.
Is it #3 did I do that or is it
483
00:28:25,280 --> 00:28:27,720
#4 What you talking about,
Willis?
484
00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:33,480
Oh, Steve, I love just hearing
you.
485
00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:36,440
I could just listen to you
rattle off TV catch phrases all
486
00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:39,880
day.
But did I do that?
487
00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:43,880
Which I think was C. 3.
OK, number.
488
00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:46,960
OK, Mike.
But did I do that?
489
00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:48,600
And I got a feeling Mike's gonna
agree with me.
490
00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:52,640
Yes.
And the answer is.
491
00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:55,800
All right, time's up.
I hope you had a chance to lock
492
00:28:55,800 --> 00:29:01,360
in your answers because the
answer, of course, is C Did I do
493
00:29:01,360 --> 00:29:02,640
that?
Of course.
494
00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:05,880
The character of Urkel, played
by the immortal Julia White,
495
00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:08,280
also known as Sonic the
Hedgehog.
496
00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:11,360
And for the purposes of this
show, Blade Beak.
497
00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:13,480
Thanks so much for the show,
guys.
498
00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:16,640
Congratulations again.
Let's do it again sometime.
499
00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:21,040
No, Steve first in my heart
there.
500
00:29:21,040 --> 00:29:23,240
There would be no switcheroo
without him.
501
00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:27,080
It was his podcast that made me
want to do podcasting.
502
00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:30,760
So it was a real they say you
shouldn't meet your heroes, but
503
00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:32,040
you know, I'm being weird.
This is too much now.
504
00:29:32,040 --> 00:29:33,640
You know, it's not you're that
wonderful, Steve.
505
00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:34,920
You're just you're just so
great.
506
00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:37,560
So you got to check out Cinema
Arcade.
507
00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:40,360
And you know, I mean, he like he
said, he does a lot of podcasts,
508
00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:42,720
but that feels like the best
recommend for our audience
509
00:29:43,080 --> 00:29:49,160
because it is a show about the
games that are based on movies
510
00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:52,160
and it is so much fun.
Definitely, definitely check it
511
00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:54,400
out.
And also, back when you guys
512
00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:59,240
were doing Ultra 64 and we
universe, you guys reading my
513
00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:02,480
letters really helped me through
kind of a rough time.
514
00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:04,440
I had a period of loneliness in
my life.
515
00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:07,440
And so each week when you guys
would read my e-mail, I felt a
516
00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:11,200
little more connected.
So you don't you don't know the
517
00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:13,160
good you're doing in the world,
but it's a lot.
518
00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:16,800
Thank you so much, Ryan.
I made it weird.
519
00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:19,320
I got too savvy.
Ryan, give us the next question.
520
00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:23,200
I don't know, I feel like I
should let this moment linger
521
00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:26,760
just a little longer.
Yeah, just really, really soak.
522
00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:30,840
In just marinate it.
Just imagine that all of that is
523
00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:34,920
incomprehensible to read text
sitting on the screen for a
524
00:30:34,920 --> 00:30:37,680
while.
Is the quest for Camelot Mike?
525
00:30:37,680 --> 00:30:40,800
Kind of want to give him a bonus
point for the joke.
526
00:30:40,800 --> 00:30:44,840
That was pretty good.
So our next one is another
527
00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:48,960
screen time question, this one
for Mortal Kombat 2 and another
528
00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:52,000
video.
Hey Kyle here from the Mortal
529
00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:55,080
Kombat 2 episode.
Just a quick question.
530
00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:58,840
Ed Boone, who was the Co creator
of the Mortal Kombat franchise,
531
00:30:58,840 --> 00:31:02,000
has a cameo in the movie.
Who did he play?
532
00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:08,160
A a villager, BA bartender, CA
Johnny Cage, movie fan or DA
533
00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:12,680
commentator.
He was definitely a boon tender,
534
00:31:13,080 --> 00:31:17,280
so I believe that was B.
Yes, he was the bartender.
535
00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:20,760
That's such a good cameo.
Let's see how you did.
536
00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:25,360
The answer is BA bartender
talking to Johnny Cage in a bar.
537
00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:29,640
Hope you did well.
Oh Kyle from the Cats mafia
538
00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:33,880
group chat.
I love seeing movies with you.
539
00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:36,280
Broke my heart when you refused
to see Resident Evil with me.
540
00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:39,480
But you know what though?
I, I, I had a great time with
541
00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:41,400
Derek.
So you're lost.
542
00:31:41,560 --> 00:31:44,440
He does this great question and
I immediately just start guilt
543
00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:47,280
tripping him.
No, I'm just slandering his
544
00:31:47,280 --> 00:31:51,840
name.
If you are big into film, Kyle
545
00:31:51,840 --> 00:31:55,640
hosts a monthly live stream
discussion.
546
00:31:55,640 --> 00:31:57,800
The most recent one was Big
Lebowski.
547
00:31:58,640 --> 00:32:03,400
Jackie and I are on there pretty
much every month and live stream
548
00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:05,720
means anyone of you guys can
join and just jump on.
549
00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:08,000
It's kind of like a podcast
happening in real time.
550
00:32:08,840 --> 00:32:13,960
But yeah, the Mighty Network
stream team is the social and
551
00:32:13,960 --> 00:32:15,600
we'll throw a link in there
there's.
552
00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:18,680
Going to be so many links in
this show notes.
553
00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:19,840
Oh, it's.
Going to be beautiful
554
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:21,560
Cornucopia.
I can help with that if you want
555
00:32:21,560 --> 00:32:25,240
me.
To all righty next questions
556
00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:27,920
coming from episode 10 Donkey
Kong.
557
00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:40,720
What's up everyone, I'm Blazing
Phoenix, speedrunner of the
558
00:32:40,720 --> 00:32:44,360
visual and blindfolded kind.
I was on Episode 10 for Season 4
559
00:32:44,360 --> 00:32:47,600
to talk with you all about
Donkey Kong for the NES and for
560
00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:50,320
the Game Boy.
I had a lot of fun speaking with
561
00:32:50,320 --> 00:32:53,200
you guys about those two games,
with one game that I was
562
00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:57,080
uniquely familiar with and the
other being a surprisingly great
563
00:32:57,080 --> 00:32:59,920
game for Game Boy, Game that
I've never heard of before this
564
00:32:59,920 --> 00:33:02,480
year.
Real quick, I'd like to say I
565
00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:06,160
did go back and Nintendid beat
DK for the Game Boy.
566
00:33:09,960 --> 00:33:13,000
Since I was invited on from my
blindfolded Donkey Kong NES
567
00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:16,120
video, I'll keep my question
related to that game, so here it
568
00:33:16,120 --> 00:33:19,000
is.
Due to hardware memory limits,
569
00:33:19,320 --> 00:33:22,480
one of the four stages from the
arcade version of Donkey Kong
570
00:33:22,680 --> 00:33:25,440
was omitted when porting to the
NES version.
571
00:33:25,960 --> 00:33:28,760
Which stage did not make it to
the NES version?
572
00:33:29,280 --> 00:33:39,040
Was it a 25 meters, B 50 meters,
D 75 meters, or E 100 meters?
573
00:33:39,720 --> 00:33:43,560
Oh and bonus question, what is
my history with the hammer music
574
00:33:43,560 --> 00:33:45,560
that plays when picking up the
hammer?
575
00:33:47,760 --> 00:33:52,360
Well, I believe the cement
factory was the third level, so
576
00:33:52,360 --> 00:33:55,760
I'm going to guess that is the
third increment of 25 meters.
577
00:33:55,760 --> 00:33:59,760
So I'm going to guess the 75
meter is the one that was cut.
578
00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:03,560
And for the bonus point, how do
you want to do the bonus point,
579
00:34:03,560 --> 00:34:06,240
Mike?
Should I just go and see if you
580
00:34:06,240 --> 00:34:07,760
agree?
You can just go.
581
00:34:07,760 --> 00:34:12,679
I I am grasping at straws at the
moment of that one because I'm
582
00:34:12,679 --> 00:34:18,120
not remembering.
Well, Blaze is the only person
583
00:34:18,560 --> 00:34:21,000
in recorded history.
I think I can say that because
584
00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:23,360
we can't find any other record
of anyone else doing it to beat
585
00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:26,679
the original Donkey Kong on NES
blindfolded.
586
00:34:27,560 --> 00:34:31,639
So I have to assume his history
with that is listening to it as
587
00:34:31,639 --> 00:34:35,320
an audio cue practicing his
blindfold speed run.
588
00:34:36,080 --> 00:34:37,920
That's my guess.
He said.
589
00:34:38,600 --> 00:34:40,280
What's my history with the
mallet music?
590
00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:43,480
I would assume that's that.
Actually things are coming to
591
00:34:43,480 --> 00:34:45,880
me.
OK so I'm I'm going to go with
592
00:34:46,159 --> 00:34:50,520
my after you explained the logic
to it made my logic seem bad.
593
00:34:50,760 --> 00:34:55,280
I was just guessing the 100M
just like it's just like the
594
00:34:55,280 --> 00:34:57,920
last or 100 photo ever, like
that's the last one.
595
00:34:57,920 --> 00:35:01,200
Which is not necessarily a great
logic and I probably should have
596
00:35:01,200 --> 00:35:04,680
picked a middle bit.
Unless you're right though and
597
00:35:04,680 --> 00:35:06,480
it just all dropped down.
Yeah.
598
00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:12,360
So you could be right I.
Feel like his was actually
599
00:35:12,600 --> 00:35:17,120
knowing it from Smash Brothers
1st and then playing Donkey Kong
600
00:35:17,120 --> 00:35:20,520
and realizing he it was stuff he
already knew from Smash
601
00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:23,240
brothers.
I think you just got 2 points
602
00:35:23,240 --> 00:35:24,760
and I got zero.
I'm nervous.
603
00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:31,320
The answer is B50 meters, which
was the Pi or cement factory
604
00:35:31,320 --> 00:35:33,520
level.
And if you are wondering why I
605
00:35:33,520 --> 00:35:37,920
skipped a letter, it was because
I could not see a little
606
00:35:37,920 --> 00:35:40,920
blindfolded humor.
For the bonus question, my
607
00:35:40,920 --> 00:35:42,640
history with the hammer music is
this.
608
00:35:42,840 --> 00:35:46,200
I grew up associating the music
with the hammer to Super Smash
609
00:35:46,200 --> 00:35:49,520
Brothers and then later I heard
the music when playing DK for
610
00:35:49,520 --> 00:35:53,560
the first time later in my life.
Congrats on season 4.
611
00:35:53,640 --> 00:35:56,360
I have enjoyed listening to
every season 4 episode and
612
00:35:56,360 --> 00:35:59,680
listening to many other episodes
from before season 4 and I
613
00:35:59,680 --> 00:36:02,480
cannot wait to listen to every
episode you release for season
614
00:36:02,560 --> 00:36:05,200
season 5.
Have a great day.
615
00:36:05,240 --> 00:36:07,440
You too, and good luck to anyone
that needs it.
616
00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:10,480
Good luck to anyone that needs
it.
617
00:36:10,480 --> 00:36:15,720
Where's the live by Blaze Mike?
This this.
618
00:36:15,960 --> 00:36:20,680
So I'm finally not exaggerating.
Not only is Blaze an incredibly
619
00:36:20,680 --> 00:36:24,960
talented speedrunner, he when he
came on our episode, had never
620
00:36:24,960 --> 00:36:30,080
been on a podcast before.
And now he has a podcast like
621
00:36:30,600 --> 00:36:33,720
that's that's our baby, That's
our he's all grown up.
622
00:36:33,880 --> 00:36:34,960
And I don't mean that kind of
send me.
623
00:36:34,960 --> 00:36:36,320
I mean to say I'm like super
proud of you.
624
00:36:36,360 --> 00:36:40,080
And he is bagged a guest that is
huge.
625
00:36:40,280 --> 00:36:42,200
He interviewed summoning
freaking salt.
626
00:36:43,840 --> 00:36:48,920
That should have been you, Mike.
I may have written down games
627
00:36:48,920 --> 00:36:51,040
that someone and salt talked
about that are on Nintendo
628
00:36:51,040 --> 00:36:54,120
Switch that we haven't covered
specifically with the angle.
629
00:36:54,680 --> 00:36:59,880
Yeah, hey, you know, you know,
Blaze, but my I'm so proud of
630
00:36:59,880 --> 00:37:03,640
you, dude.
You work so hard at everything,
631
00:37:04,280 --> 00:37:07,720
at being a dad, hard at your job
and your speed runs and your
632
00:37:07,720 --> 00:37:11,040
podcast.
Like it's just you're just,
633
00:37:12,120 --> 00:37:15,960
you're a rare breed.
I believe he also sent us videos
634
00:37:15,960 --> 00:37:18,040
with no visuals which is kind of
amazing.
635
00:37:21,440 --> 00:37:24,080
Yeah, look at that MP4.
But it was just sound, yeah.
636
00:37:25,480 --> 00:37:28,560
Well, it did have a visual.
A visual was blackness a black
637
00:37:28,600 --> 00:37:30,520
screen.
Yeah, he's right.
638
00:37:30,760 --> 00:37:32,520
It just it works on so many
levels.
639
00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:37,200
Wow cuz he's blindfolded?
Yeah, amazing.
640
00:37:37,200 --> 00:37:39,240
I wonder what he was really
seeing.
641
00:37:39,760 --> 00:37:43,560
I like that, but we both whiffed
on the main part of the
642
00:37:43,560 --> 00:37:44,880
question.
But I at least pulled off the
643
00:37:44,880 --> 00:37:48,400
bonus, so that's something.
So I think I'm still 1 ahead.
644
00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:52,480
Actually, you are tied up again.
So it's Mike's turn.
645
00:37:52,760 --> 00:37:54,480
Yep, it is Mike's turn to go
First.
646
00:37:54,480 --> 00:37:58,840
We have 4 questions remaining.
Next question is from Episode
647
00:37:58,840 --> 00:38:02,360
11, Tetris.
Hey, Maya, KJ MO.
648
00:38:02,360 --> 00:38:05,480
It's Jennifer Miller Himmel from
Classical California's Arcade.
649
00:38:05,920 --> 00:38:09,080
And I'm here with a question
about Tetris.
650
00:38:09,320 --> 00:38:15,360
It's music more specifically, so
the beloved melody we know as
651
00:38:15,360 --> 00:38:19,000
the Tetris theme is really a
Russian folk song called
652
00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:23,920
Korobainiki, and Nintendo
decided the melody perfectly fit
653
00:38:23,920 --> 00:38:26,440
the Russian Soviet aesthetic of
the game.
654
00:38:26,840 --> 00:38:30,680
But what is the original folk
song about?
655
00:38:31,320 --> 00:38:35,240
Is it a a young boy going to
market to sell his family's
656
00:38:35,240 --> 00:38:39,520
Milky white cow?
BA traveling peddler who is
657
00:38:39,520 --> 00:38:43,680
flirting with a young girl and
hoping to exchange goods with
658
00:38:43,680 --> 00:38:49,040
her CA sad clown who realizes
his ladylove is cheating on him
659
00:38:49,040 --> 00:38:53,520
but the show must go on.
Or DA group of dancers who are
660
00:38:53,520 --> 00:38:57,080
sent to a farm collective to
entertain the workers.
661
00:38:59,480 --> 00:39:04,600
I feel like if I knew my
classical music better, I would
662
00:39:04,600 --> 00:39:07,040
know what all four of those were
talking about.
663
00:39:07,240 --> 00:39:10,200
Yeah, they were real references.
I recognize the sad clown one.
664
00:39:10,400 --> 00:39:17,080
Yeah, this one is B.
Yeah, it's definitely B.
665
00:39:18,480 --> 00:39:22,920
OK, so it is not A because
that's one of the plots of Into
666
00:39:22,920 --> 00:39:25,440
the Woods.
It's not C because that's
667
00:39:25,440 --> 00:39:29,360
Pagliacci, and it's not D
because that's Shostakovich's
668
00:39:29,360 --> 00:39:32,560
ballet The Limpid Stream.
So yes, the answer is BA
669
00:39:33,080 --> 00:39:37,000
traveling peddler who's flirting
with a young girl now, Cordoba
670
00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:41,440
Nikki was based on a poem by
Nikolai Nekrasov and was a
671
00:39:41,440 --> 00:39:45,600
thinly veiled metaphor for
exchanging sexual favors.
672
00:39:46,160 --> 00:39:49,680
Well, it appeared in musical
form around 1898 and would of
673
00:39:49,680 --> 00:39:54,960
course become the Type A music
for the 1989 Game Boy version of
674
00:39:54,960 --> 00:39:57,440
Tetris thanks to Hero Cause or
Tanaka.
675
00:39:57,920 --> 00:40:01,360
But Tetris creator Alexi
Pajitonov often gets credit for
676
00:40:01,360 --> 00:40:05,080
the association, as the melody
also appeared in early Mac and
677
00:40:05,080 --> 00:40:09,840
Apple two GS ports of the game.
All right, later my friends, I
678
00:40:09,840 --> 00:40:16,280
need to go do some more lines.
Actually, she knows how that
679
00:40:16,280 --> 00:40:18,880
sounded.
She knows what she's doing.
680
00:40:19,280 --> 00:40:22,520
Yeah, I had thought that the
first one sounded like Into the
681
00:40:22,520 --> 00:40:25,640
Woods, but I figured there's got
to be like an opera version of
682
00:40:25,640 --> 00:40:27,080
that.
I didn't know musicals were on
683
00:40:27,080 --> 00:40:29,080
the table.
Yeah, yeah.
684
00:40:30,120 --> 00:40:34,080
Jennifer's episode on Tetris is
our first short to breach half a
685
00:40:34,080 --> 00:40:38,240
million views, and she made it
so very special.
686
00:40:38,240 --> 00:40:40,480
Mike, can I throw it to you to
promote her radio show?
687
00:40:40,480 --> 00:40:41,400
Because that's you.
You.
688
00:40:41,720 --> 00:40:44,360
You found her for us, and we're
so much richer for it.
689
00:40:45,080 --> 00:40:49,640
Yeah, so connections by way of a
of the have you seen this
690
00:40:49,640 --> 00:40:53,320
podcast, which is a movie
podcast that I listen to and
691
00:40:53,320 --> 00:40:56,640
that she plays tabletop with one
of the hosts.
692
00:40:57,520 --> 00:41:02,000
And So what made her such a
great fit for this is part of
693
00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:07,280
what she does with Classical
California is Arcade, which is
694
00:41:07,480 --> 00:41:11,680
both video game music and music
that's inspired video games.
695
00:41:11,680 --> 00:41:17,320
And that whole area of treating
video game music like proper
696
00:41:17,320 --> 00:41:19,160
music, like it deserves to be
treated.
697
00:41:19,560 --> 00:41:24,760
And it made for such one of my
favorite episodes because
698
00:41:25,200 --> 00:41:27,160
everybody has talked about
Tetris.
699
00:41:27,680 --> 00:41:31,760
Not everybody has talked about
Tetris with sort of the depth
700
00:41:31,760 --> 00:41:34,960
into the music that we went.
Yeah, yeah.
701
00:41:34,960 --> 00:41:36,040
I couldn't have done that
without her.
702
00:41:36,040 --> 00:41:39,000
Ryan, you strike me as a guy who
listens to like, like
703
00:41:39,000 --> 00:41:40,720
orchestrated soundtracks and
things.
704
00:41:40,720 --> 00:41:42,680
Are you a music without lyrics
kind of guy?
705
00:41:43,680 --> 00:41:46,960
Oh, I love it when I'm working.
Like if I'm sitting there and
706
00:41:46,960 --> 00:41:50,240
I'm writing up an article or I'm
working on, you know, just
707
00:41:50,240 --> 00:41:53,000
something that doesn't require
me to interact directly with
708
00:41:53,000 --> 00:41:55,400
someone.
I always have classical music
709
00:41:55,400 --> 00:41:57,560
playing from the Pandora on my
TV.
710
00:41:57,840 --> 00:41:59,680
Oh, is it actual classical?
You go classical.
711
00:42:00,160 --> 00:42:03,960
It's some of it's classical, but
I also have like the Jurassic
712
00:42:03,960 --> 00:42:09,640
Park theme is in there somewhere
and a Skyrim, the Skyrim theme
713
00:42:09,640 --> 00:42:11,520
plays every now and then.
It's a good station.
714
00:42:11,520 --> 00:42:15,680
I I I enjoy the variety.
Yeah, Excellent, excellent.
715
00:42:16,200 --> 00:42:20,080
One of my first CDs was Holsts
the planets there you.
716
00:42:20,560 --> 00:42:24,200
Go yeah, that's I think Mars
pops up on my on mine every now
717
00:42:24,200 --> 00:42:25,680
and then.
Mars and Jupiter are the big
718
00:42:25,680 --> 00:42:27,440
ones.
I mean, Jupiters are one of the
719
00:42:27,440 --> 00:42:31,200
big ones anyway, but.
The sun is the biggest one, OK?
720
00:42:31,880 --> 00:42:35,520
Actually, fun thing about that,
if we've got a moment, when I
721
00:42:35,520 --> 00:42:39,240
was a kid, one of my favorite
games in the world was The Curse
722
00:42:39,240 --> 00:42:42,080
of Monkey Island, the original
adventure game.
723
00:42:42,480 --> 00:42:46,760
And if you bought it on C or
not, Curse, I'm sorry, escaped.
724
00:42:46,760 --> 00:42:48,800
My God, I can never remember
which is which because there are
725
00:42:48,800 --> 00:42:51,720
four games and they all have
just slight variations on the
726
00:42:51,720 --> 00:42:53,640
name.
Yeah, there's like curse.
727
00:42:53,920 --> 00:42:59,240
Beneath the Monkey Island.
Yeah, but the first game, if you
728
00:42:59,240 --> 00:43:03,760
bought the first game on DVD
when it was released, re
729
00:43:03,760 --> 00:43:05,760
released by Lucasart.
So you didn't need a stack of
730
00:43:05,760 --> 00:43:09,600
floppies.
If you put the DVD or the CD
731
00:43:09,600 --> 00:43:14,680
into your CD player, the first
track will destroy your speakers
732
00:43:14,680 --> 00:43:16,480
because it's literally all the
data for the game.
733
00:43:16,840 --> 00:43:21,200
But tracks 2 through 12 was the
game soundtrack.
734
00:43:21,640 --> 00:43:25,480
And so I actually would like sit
in my car listening to like the
735
00:43:25,480 --> 00:43:27,800
bar room theme from Monkey
Island.
736
00:43:28,760 --> 00:43:31,880
And it was formative, I'm sure.
Oh, oh, very much so.
737
00:43:31,880 --> 00:43:34,520
Very much so.
Man, that's a series that needs
738
00:43:34,520 --> 00:43:37,040
to be looked at again.
I love it so much.
739
00:43:37,280 --> 00:43:39,760
Huge monkey island fan, love
monkey island.
740
00:43:40,040 --> 00:43:44,440
Big time.
All right, so moving on to the
741
00:43:44,440 --> 00:43:48,240
next question, we got Episode
12, Ninja Gaiden.
742
00:43:49,560 --> 00:43:52,680
Timmy Williams here from the
animated movie The Whitest Kids
743
00:43:52,680 --> 00:43:55,440
You Knows Mars.
That was hard to say.
744
00:43:55,640 --> 00:43:58,240
And also the horror movie
podcast earned full of popcorn.
745
00:43:58,680 --> 00:44:03,200
So you guys made me play more
ninja games for my second
746
00:44:03,240 --> 00:44:08,360
episode and one of those was
Ninja Gaiden 2.
747
00:44:08,960 --> 00:44:12,160
So here's my question.
Why did you make no?
748
00:44:12,320 --> 00:44:16,960
Here's my question.
Like its predecessor, 1990s,
749
00:44:16,960 --> 00:44:21,120
Ninja Gaiden 2 had to use a
different title in Europe, since
750
00:44:21,120 --> 00:44:23,560
the word ninja translates to
assassin.
751
00:44:23,800 --> 00:44:27,200
And as we all know, the best way
to prevent violence is to
752
00:44:27,200 --> 00:44:31,440
pretend that it doesn't exist.
So instead it's called Shadow
753
00:44:31,440 --> 00:44:35,040
Warriors 2.
And according to the box, what
754
00:44:35,040 --> 00:44:37,640
is the subtitle of Shadow
Warriors 2?
755
00:44:38,320 --> 00:44:42,520
Is it a the Dark Sword of Chaos?
Excuse me, is it a the?
756
00:44:42,520 --> 00:44:49,520
Dark Sword of Chaos.
B The Demon's Tooth, C The Lame
757
00:44:49,520 --> 00:44:54,320
Sword of Censorship, or D Ninja
Gaiden 2.
758
00:44:56,360 --> 00:45:01,080
Am I going first?
I think it is.
759
00:45:01,200 --> 00:45:04,520
Yeah.
Yeah, it is.
760
00:45:04,960 --> 00:45:07,440
Definitely D because I remember
he crashed out about it.
761
00:45:09,920 --> 00:45:16,000
OK, so I think I was going with
probably they couldn't use ninja
762
00:45:16,600 --> 00:45:18,720
in the title, but it's in the
subtitle.
763
00:45:18,840 --> 00:45:22,160
OK, I was my guess is a which
apparently is.
764
00:45:22,160 --> 00:45:25,200
It is incorrect, but that's what
it is.
765
00:45:26,280 --> 00:45:31,880
The correct answer is D Ninja
Gaiden 2, which is confusing.
766
00:45:33,360 --> 00:45:37,280
Anyways, congratulations on
wrapping up season 4 and please
767
00:45:37,280 --> 00:45:39,600
have me back sometime.
But if you make me play a sequel
768
00:45:39,600 --> 00:45:45,640
to either Ninja Gaiden or Super
Ninja Man or whatever, I'll not
769
00:45:45,640 --> 00:45:51,280
come.
Oh my gosh, that is so freaking
770
00:45:51,320 --> 00:45:53,240
funny.
And you know, Jimmy, I don't
771
00:45:53,240 --> 00:45:57,760
know if Mike passed this message
along to you, but right after we
772
00:45:57,760 --> 00:46:02,560
recorded I, I finished Mars and
that movie made me laugh so hard
773
00:46:02,560 --> 00:46:05,960
I struggled to breathe.
If you have not checked it out,
774
00:46:06,840 --> 00:46:12,000
you know, hop online by it.
It is it's, it's such a funny
775
00:46:12,000 --> 00:46:15,000
animated comedy.
And then if you are a Whitest
776
00:46:15,000 --> 00:46:19,120
kids fan, it is a cherry on top
of their career and their
777
00:46:19,120 --> 00:46:21,760
collective works.
It's so, so good.
778
00:46:22,120 --> 00:46:26,760
And earn full of popcorn.
Such a fun show, Timmy.
779
00:46:27,400 --> 00:46:30,360
Mike, I'll let you gush about
Timmy because you've you've
780
00:46:30,360 --> 00:46:34,280
taken someone who we have always
idolized and looked up to for
781
00:46:34,280 --> 00:46:37,240
their comedy like a celebrity
status and I feel like you've
782
00:46:37,240 --> 00:46:38,680
turned them into a friend.
Well done.
783
00:46:39,840 --> 00:46:42,080
Yeah, no, it is.
It has been an absolute blast to
784
00:46:42,080 --> 00:46:48,760
have Timmy on as now basically a
recurring character to this
785
00:46:48,760 --> 00:46:53,120
podcast, which is absolutely
wonderful for us.
786
00:46:53,800 --> 00:46:56,080
And isn't he a darn good sport
for coming back?
787
00:46:56,440 --> 00:46:58,600
Yeah, I'm sorry I made you play
Super Ninja Boy.
788
00:46:58,800 --> 00:47:00,600
I didn't know.
I didn't know.
789
00:47:01,760 --> 00:47:06,480
All right, with two questions
left, Jamo has pulled ahead by
790
00:47:06,480 --> 00:47:10,520
only a single point.
Let's see if you can hold on to
791
00:47:10,520 --> 00:47:15,240
that lead as we move to Episode
13, Killer Instinct.
792
00:47:17,000 --> 00:47:21,720
Hey Mike and Jamo, it's Butch.
I recorded the Killer Instinct
793
00:47:21,960 --> 00:47:26,360
episode with you guys, so I'm
here to ask you a question about
794
00:47:26,360 --> 00:47:30,600
that and this is going to see
how well you guys paid attention
795
00:47:30,880 --> 00:47:34,120
to the beginning of the fights.
When the characters are
796
00:47:34,120 --> 00:47:38,000
introduced, there is a phrase
that is said before you actually
797
00:47:38,000 --> 00:47:41,080
get into the fight.
What is the phrase that's said?
798
00:47:41,520 --> 00:47:50,840
Is it A let's begin B fight on C
Get ready, or D let's rock it?
799
00:47:52,200 --> 00:47:55,400
It is most definitely.
Fight on.
800
00:47:56,320 --> 00:47:59,440
So that was C, right?
I thought that was B.
801
00:47:59,800 --> 00:48:02,440
OK, well fight on's my answer.
I know what you're going to try
802
00:48:02,440 --> 00:48:04,200
to.
Do Mike B is my answer.
803
00:48:04,200 --> 00:48:06,680
I wrote down B as this went.
OK.
804
00:48:08,160 --> 00:48:12,400
The answer that I was looking
for was B fight on.
805
00:48:13,360 --> 00:48:16,120
I just wanted to say thanks for
having me on again you guys.
806
00:48:16,360 --> 00:48:19,640
And I always look forward to
watching your guys's episode and
807
00:48:19,640 --> 00:48:22,080
I look forward to possibly being
a part of it again.
808
00:48:22,360 --> 00:48:24,880
Please keep being who you guys
are and keep kicking it in the
809
00:48:24,880 --> 00:48:26,720
ass.
I'll see you guys next time.
810
00:48:27,920 --> 00:48:30,320
Amazing, Butch.
You know you also didn't give
811
00:48:30,320 --> 00:48:33,960
yourself credit for being the
progenitor of our Pokémon 30th
812
00:48:33,960 --> 00:48:36,640
anniversary episode.
That was some of our best
813
00:48:36,640 --> 00:48:39,840
content, some of the most
popular content, and I always
814
00:48:39,840 --> 00:48:43,520
appreciate you being so active
in the comments, so supportive
815
00:48:43,520 --> 00:48:47,680
emotionally.
You're a good friend and I also
816
00:48:47,680 --> 00:48:49,560
look forward to us working
together in the future.
817
00:48:50,640 --> 00:48:53,920
All righty.
Final question.
818
00:48:54,720 --> 00:48:58,760
As of right now, we stand with
JMO with 10 points and Mike with
819
00:48:58,760 --> 00:49:01,120
9.
So Mike, you have a chance to
820
00:49:01,120 --> 00:49:05,400
tie it up here, and I do have a
tiebreaker question on the off
821
00:49:05,400 --> 00:49:07,560
chance you end up tying it up
here.
822
00:49:07,560 --> 00:49:11,080
So let's get on to the last one,
which is also our final video
823
00:49:11,080 --> 00:49:16,440
question from Episode 14, Fire
Emblem Path of Radiance.
824
00:49:18,280 --> 00:49:24,000
Mike Jamo, it is I Stiltskin,
your former guest, the person
825
00:49:24,000 --> 00:49:26,680
you played Fire Emblem Path of
Radiance with.
826
00:49:27,360 --> 00:49:31,360
I'm here in the world of Fire
Emblem.
827
00:49:31,360 --> 00:49:34,160
We're about to go into battle.
As you can see behind me, we're
828
00:49:34,160 --> 00:49:39,360
all very excited to kill people
on the opposing team.
829
00:49:39,360 --> 00:49:42,120
But take turns, you know, we're
very polite.
830
00:49:42,120 --> 00:49:47,720
We do a little attack and then
we wait to take our damage, and
831
00:49:47,720 --> 00:49:49,360
then we take our turn and they
wait.
832
00:49:49,560 --> 00:49:54,720
So, you know, it's a very civil
war, so to speak, in terms of
833
00:49:54,720 --> 00:50:00,600
manners, not necessarily civil.
Anyway, what am I talking about?
834
00:50:00,840 --> 00:50:02,160
I'm here to give you.
A.
835
00:50:02,160 --> 00:50:05,640
Trivia question from Fire Emblem
Path of Radiance.
836
00:50:06,080 --> 00:50:08,560
And so here is my question for
you.
837
00:50:09,440 --> 00:50:14,440
Which of the following is not a
playable character in Fire
838
00:50:14,440 --> 00:50:16,640
Emblem Path of Radiance?
OK, get ready for this.
839
00:50:16,720 --> 00:50:20,400
Which of these characters is not
playable?
840
00:50:21,440 --> 00:50:25,280
All right.
Is it a shin on?
841
00:50:26,440 --> 00:50:35,680
Is it B drill?
Is it C har is or is it D
842
00:50:36,160 --> 00:50:39,520
terroneo?
Tarot terroneo?
843
00:50:40,480 --> 00:50:44,360
I think that's how you say that.
Anyway, I'm going to go fight
844
00:50:44,360 --> 00:50:49,000
this battle and when I get back
I'll give you the answer, but
845
00:50:49,160 --> 00:50:51,160
I'm going to leave it to you.
Which is it?
846
00:50:52,000 --> 00:50:58,120
Chinon Grill Har or Terroneo,
which is not a playable
847
00:50:58,120 --> 00:51:02,040
character in Fire Emblem.
Path of Radiance.
848
00:51:02,840 --> 00:51:08,360
I'll be right back.
So this is tough.
849
00:51:09,760 --> 00:51:15,960
I think that in preparing for
the episode, I did like a whole
850
00:51:15,960 --> 00:51:21,400
like dating game and I don't
remember seeing Terroneo.
851
00:51:21,920 --> 00:51:26,240
I have a feeling that Terroneo
is from a different game in the
852
00:51:26,240 --> 00:51:30,000
series, so I'm going to give D
to Romeo.
853
00:51:32,440 --> 00:51:35,400
D is what I have written down
and I was hoping you would guess
854
00:51:35,400 --> 00:51:39,440
different so I could at least
believe I had a shot still, but
855
00:51:39,680 --> 00:51:43,280
D is what I think it is.
Now strategically, you shouldn't
856
00:51:43,280 --> 00:51:46,040
leave it at that because I'm
ahead.
857
00:51:46,360 --> 00:51:49,240
So if we tie again, I win.
But why?
858
00:51:49,240 --> 00:51:52,480
Not because I picked my answer
before yours.
859
00:51:52,480 --> 00:51:55,160
It should be independent.
OK.
860
00:51:55,160 --> 00:51:57,920
Are you sure?
I don't know.
861
00:51:57,920 --> 00:52:01,640
I think it'd be more interesting
if you, yeah, you get the, you
862
00:52:01,640 --> 00:52:03,360
get the inputs.
The last question, your last
863
00:52:03,360 --> 00:52:06,160
chance to tie it up.
Better for content?
864
00:52:06,560 --> 00:52:09,520
Come on, gain the system all
right.
865
00:52:09,680 --> 00:52:12,240
See.
If you get this, I'm going to be
866
00:52:12,240 --> 00:52:17,000
so bad.
Hey Mike and Jamo, I'm back with
867
00:52:17,000 --> 00:52:20,240
the answer here.
I got separated from the Army I
868
00:52:20,240 --> 00:52:21,920
was with.
I don't know where they went.
869
00:52:23,000 --> 00:52:26,120
I'm kind of lost right now, but
there's like a temple thing over
870
00:52:26,120 --> 00:52:27,400
there.
I'm going to check out here in a
871
00:52:27,400 --> 00:52:29,520
second.
Not sure where everybody went,
872
00:52:29,600 --> 00:52:34,840
but my question was which of the
following 4 characters is not a
873
00:52:34,840 --> 00:52:38,640
playable character in Fire
Emblem Path of Radiance?
874
00:52:39,160 --> 00:52:43,320
And the answer was Grill.
He's not.
875
00:52:43,320 --> 00:52:46,040
He's not a playable character.
You can't tell real what to do.
876
00:52:46,040 --> 00:52:49,440
He's Ike's dad, Ike, the
protagonist.
877
00:52:49,800 --> 00:52:53,520
You can't tell your dad what to
do against the rules.
878
00:52:54,320 --> 00:52:59,680
So yes, if you picked B Grill,
you're right, that was that's
879
00:52:59,680 --> 00:53:04,160
not a playable character.
So yes, thanks for having me on
880
00:53:04,160 --> 00:53:07,120
the show was a ton of fun.
I'm going to try to find my way
881
00:53:07,680 --> 00:53:09,800
through this mystical land I'm
stuck in.
882
00:53:09,800 --> 00:53:16,120
And don't do drugs, kids.
Happy made a video.
883
00:53:17,320 --> 00:53:21,200
Oh my gosh, Stiltskin, you don't
know this, but you know, we're
884
00:53:21,200 --> 00:53:23,760
trying to do this in as few
takes as possible.
885
00:53:23,760 --> 00:53:27,080
So while that's going, Mike and
I have to stifle laughter.
886
00:53:27,080 --> 00:53:30,680
And I can see us both on the
Zoom, like, choking and laughing
887
00:53:30,720 --> 00:53:35,360
so hard.
Mike Stiltskin's another low
888
00:53:35,360 --> 00:53:37,840
baca discovery.
You want to talk about his show?
889
00:53:38,560 --> 00:53:40,840
Yeah, his show is airing right
now on Twitch.
890
00:53:40,840 --> 00:53:44,360
Well, right now as we record,
they're on a lot.
891
00:53:44,560 --> 00:53:47,600
They may be on while you're
listening to a lot of movie
892
00:53:47,600 --> 00:53:52,520
watching primarily sort of watch
along stuff, YouTube cartoons.
893
00:53:53,240 --> 00:53:56,120
He's definitely the first
mythical creature that we've had
894
00:53:56,120 --> 00:53:58,440
on.
So that that was groundbreaking.
895
00:53:58,880 --> 00:54:01,120
Yeah, I love that Stiltskin.
You got it.
896
00:54:01,120 --> 00:54:05,560
You got to bring your two foot
five ass back here one day.
897
00:54:05,640 --> 00:54:07,480
I don't know how tall you are,
but I feel like that's a pretty
898
00:54:07,480 --> 00:54:08,920
decent estimate.
You know what?
899
00:54:08,920 --> 00:54:10,840
Come back on the show and
correct me if I'm wrong.
900
00:54:11,200 --> 00:54:14,440
And most importantly, thank you
for not letting Mike pull into
901
00:54:14,440 --> 00:54:15,280
the lead.
Right, Ryan?
902
00:54:15,320 --> 00:54:19,840
I think we're settled here.
And the final point total after
903
00:54:19,840 --> 00:54:26,000
15 questions and one bonus
question is Mike with 9 points
904
00:54:26,000 --> 00:54:31,520
and Jamo with 10.
Congratulations Jamo on your
905
00:54:31,520 --> 00:54:34,880
victory.
Thank you, Ryan Warbus 5.
906
00:54:34,880 --> 00:54:37,720
It feels good.
I I know I've known this whole
907
00:54:37,720 --> 00:54:39,320
time.
I've been secretly smarter than
908
00:54:39,320 --> 00:54:41,840
Mike, and I know the evidence
does not usually weigh in my
909
00:54:41,840 --> 00:54:44,640
favor, but this, this felt good.
This was Mike.
910
00:54:44,640 --> 00:54:48,240
This was our closest match yet.
I think that was that was down
911
00:54:48,240 --> 00:54:52,080
to the wire.
And Ryan, you know, those of you
912
00:54:52,080 --> 00:54:54,880
listening might not know he did
a lot of prep for this.
913
00:54:54,880 --> 00:54:58,880
He the picture, the handsome
game show announcer that he
914
00:54:58,880 --> 00:55:00,360
sounds like.
That's what he's dressed as,
915
00:55:00,600 --> 00:55:03,440
like he, he just crushed it for
us tonight.
916
00:55:03,440 --> 00:55:05,440
Ryan, it means so much.
Why don't you let our listeners
917
00:55:05,440 --> 00:55:06,720
know where they can find your
stuff?
918
00:55:07,080 --> 00:55:12,520
Oh well, you can always find my
old stuff at YouTube at Warboss
919
00:55:12,520 --> 00:55:16,800
5 from back in the heady days
when I had nothing better to do
920
00:55:16,800 --> 00:55:20,960
between 7:00 PM and 2:00 in the
morning every night and streamed
921
00:55:21,440 --> 00:55:25,160
My various opinions politically
can be found Warboss 5 on Blue
922
00:55:25,160 --> 00:55:32,360
Sky and if you are, if you enjoy
listening to your medieval
923
00:55:32,360 --> 00:55:36,560
fantasy DND adjacent books, I am
working with a lovely author
924
00:55:36,560 --> 00:55:40,760
named Nick Chandemo Smith who is
the writer of the Mort Seals
925
00:55:40,760 --> 00:55:45,560
Lost and Found, a series of
books of which I have recorded
926
00:55:45,880 --> 00:55:48,680
audio versions for the first two
books and are act and actively
927
00:55:48,680 --> 00:55:51,600
working on getting the third one
done hopefully by the end of
928
00:55:51,600 --> 00:55:52,760
this year.
It's not like I've been doing
929
00:55:52,760 --> 00:55:55,760
this for two years solid, and
hopefully that will be out soon
930
00:55:55,760 --> 00:55:57,880
as well.
And you had a Dungeons and
931
00:55:57,880 --> 00:56:01,080
Dragons campaign that's going to
be out, is out yet?
932
00:56:01,080 --> 00:56:02,680
I know it's going to be out in
time for Halloween.
933
00:56:02,800 --> 00:56:05,200
Yes, thank you for reminding me.
Yes I am.
934
00:56:05,200 --> 00:56:08,280
I actually just submitted my
final version of it.
935
00:56:08,840 --> 00:56:13,840
It is a haunted house style 4
hour dungeons and Dragons
936
00:56:13,840 --> 00:56:16,640
adventure set in Forgotten
Realms.
937
00:56:17,040 --> 00:56:20,840
The title is a Legacy of Hubris
that is.
938
00:56:20,960 --> 00:56:26,560
Should be available on Dungeon
Masters Guild DMS Guild sometime
939
00:56:26,560 --> 00:56:29,600
in the next month or so.
Should be up in time for
940
00:56:29,600 --> 00:56:30,920
Halloween.
Perfect.
941
00:56:30,920 --> 00:56:32,360
And you hear that?
A four hour adventure?
942
00:56:32,360 --> 00:56:33,920
That's a perfect Halloween
party.
943
00:56:33,920 --> 00:56:36,800
Make it happen, guys.
Adventures League compatible.
944
00:56:37,080 --> 00:56:39,800
33% longer than the voyage for
Gilligan's Island.
945
00:56:41,640 --> 00:56:42,840
Did you do the math in your
head?
946
00:56:43,320 --> 00:56:46,600
I mean, it's 4 / 3, so yeah, all
right.
947
00:56:46,760 --> 00:56:49,520
Well, you see Gilligan's aisle?
They actually went to hell.
948
00:56:49,520 --> 00:56:52,480
Mine is just hell adjacent.
Is there a theory that they're
949
00:56:52,520 --> 00:56:53,440
actually dead?
The whole.
950
00:56:53,440 --> 00:56:55,480
Time.
Oh yeah, Gilligan is Satan.
951
00:56:56,120 --> 00:56:58,920
No.
Yep, every member of the crew
952
00:56:58,920 --> 00:57:02,040
represents one of the seven
deadly sins, except the Skipper,
953
00:57:02,040 --> 00:57:08,160
who represents 2.
Yep, the Skipper represents
954
00:57:08,160 --> 00:57:13,240
gluttony and anger, the
Professor represents pride, Mr.
955
00:57:13,240 --> 00:57:17,960
Howe represents greed, Misses
Howe represents sloth, Marianne
956
00:57:17,960 --> 00:57:20,760
represents lust, and Ginger
represents envy.
957
00:57:21,160 --> 00:57:22,680
Wow.
It kind of.
958
00:57:23,120 --> 00:57:26,400
OK, but what do the Harlem
Globetrotters represent when
959
00:57:26,400 --> 00:57:28,200
they end up on the island
Harlem.
960
00:57:29,560 --> 00:57:34,440
Yeah, always repping Harlem.
We're going to let Ryan get on
961
00:57:34,440 --> 00:57:36,880
out of here as we wrap the
season finale.
962
00:57:36,880 --> 00:57:39,040
Ryan, let's do this again real
soon.
963
00:57:39,360 --> 00:57:40,800
Oh, absolutely.
Anytime.
964
00:57:41,280 --> 00:57:44,000
Thanks, Buddy.
All right, Michael, with that,
965
00:57:44,000 --> 00:57:46,400
it's going to bring us to the
second-half of our finale.
966
00:57:46,680 --> 00:57:48,840
If you're enjoying what you've
listened to so far, please don't

Mike have a little tradition
969
00:57:55,200 --> 00:57:57,040
here.
At the end of every season I try
970
00:57:57,040 --> 00:58:01,280
to speed run, saying every game
and I try to get it faster and
971
00:58:01,280 --> 00:58:04,440
faster.
My best run was from season 2
972
00:58:04,440 --> 00:58:07,800
when I did 30 games in 13.2
seconds.
973
00:58:08,160 --> 00:58:12,640
So to beat my record, I need to
do all 22 games from this season
974
00:58:12,920 --> 00:58:16,640
in 9.7 seconds.
I was doing it during rehearsal.
975
00:58:17,040 --> 00:58:19,480
I think I can do it this time.
I boofed it last year, but I'm
976
00:58:19,480 --> 00:58:20,240
ready.
Are you ready?
977
00:58:20,680 --> 00:58:23,440
Sure.
This year on the old Switcheroo
978
00:58:23,440 --> 00:58:40,320
Season 4, we covered what?
Was the first thing you said.
979
00:58:41,000 --> 00:58:43,400
Vajara's Mask.
Sorry, I guess.
980
00:58:44,120 --> 00:58:47,560
Sorry, I think I only heard
chippy row.
981
00:58:48,640 --> 00:58:51,720
No, I cut out.
No, no, no, no, no.
982
00:58:51,720 --> 00:58:53,520
That's what I meant.
I meant I didn't hear the full
983
00:58:53,520 --> 00:58:57,240
title.
I just saying I was saying
984
00:58:57,240 --> 00:58:59,840
gibberish.
I I didn't.
985
00:58:59,840 --> 00:59:05,480
Hear plug into adventure, Mike.
Go to hell you bastard.
986
00:59:07,520 --> 00:59:09,760
Sonic the Hedgehog spinball over
here.
987
00:59:10,160 --> 00:59:12,640
But you know what's fun though?
In the past I have slowed it
988
00:59:12,640 --> 00:59:15,600
down and you actually can tell
what word I'm trying to say.
989
00:59:15,600 --> 00:59:19,560
So I think 8.8 is good.
Whether or not I have plugs into
990
00:59:19,560 --> 00:59:22,520
Adventure don't scare me.
I thought the audio cut out for
991
00:59:22,520 --> 00:59:26,320
a second.
And so then let's move on to our
992
00:59:26,480 --> 00:59:30,400
seasonal award show, the old
Switcharoonies, where we give a
993
00:59:30,400 --> 00:59:34,680
shout out to the superstars and
Nintendo duds of our last 22
994
00:59:34,680 --> 00:59:38,120
games, starting with the
Titanfall Award for Most
995
00:59:38,160 --> 00:59:41,320
Underrated Game.
Mike, which game do you think
996
00:59:41,320 --> 00:59:43,680
needs more love like Nintendo
Switch Online itself?
997
00:59:43,680 --> 00:59:46,040
I.
Mean, I think, and this extends
998
00:59:46,040 --> 00:59:50,280
to the full title, I'm going
chibi robo plug into it into
999
00:59:50,680 --> 00:59:53,120
adventure.
He didn't even know, and you're
1000
00:59:53,120 --> 00:59:54,640
giving me grief for it?
Yeah.
1001
00:59:54,640 --> 00:59:55,680
No.
You like that game?
1002
00:59:55,680 --> 00:59:58,200
A lot.
And what I love so much about
1003
00:59:58,200 --> 01:00:01,760
our show is how rarely we agree.
But that was very high up on
1004
01:00:01,760 --> 01:00:03,120
both our lists.
What'd you like about it so
1005
01:00:03,120 --> 01:00:04,800
much?
I mean, I think also just part
1006
01:00:04,800 --> 01:00:08,840
of it is I don't hear people
talk about that generally.
1007
01:00:09,360 --> 01:00:13,800
Like it's it feels like a game
that deserves to be more well
1008
01:00:13,800 --> 01:00:16,680
known and isn't.
And and I think I think a big
1009
01:00:16,680 --> 01:00:20,200
part of it is the lack of a
Smash Brothers representation.
1010
01:00:20,840 --> 01:00:22,600
And as Lawson said, put Chibi
Robo in there.
1011
01:00:22,600 --> 01:00:25,120
But size accurate.
So he's like a pixel.
1012
01:00:25,760 --> 01:00:27,840
That would be such a fun troll
character.
1013
01:00:28,480 --> 01:00:30,520
Mine is Donkey Kong on the Game
Boy.
1014
01:00:31,120 --> 01:00:36,520
I am still shocked that the box
art for that does not make it
1015
01:00:36,520 --> 01:00:39,400
clear to the consumer that this
is not Donkey Kong from the
1016
01:00:39,400 --> 01:00:41,120
arcade.
This is Donkey Kong from the
1017
01:00:41,120 --> 01:00:44,600
arcade followed by like 96 other
levels.
1018
01:00:44,960 --> 01:00:50,720
It keeps going and going and
Mario has never played this good
1019
01:00:50,720 --> 01:00:52,280
in 2D.
In my opinion.
1020
01:00:52,280 --> 01:00:55,640
Your control over Mario with
your ability to backflip and
1021
01:00:55,640 --> 01:01:00,120
handstand and catch and grab
objects, it feels better to play
1022
01:01:00,120 --> 01:01:04,040
than later Mario 2D games that
came out like in the Wii era.
1023
01:01:04,400 --> 01:01:08,360
So if you've been sleeping on
it, you got to check it out.
1024
01:01:08,360 --> 01:01:11,120
Game Boy on the donkey.
Game Boy on the donkey Gong.
1025
01:01:11,480 --> 01:01:17,000
Yeah, that'll help.
That is one of the largest
1026
01:01:17,000 --> 01:01:20,640
examples of miss marketing a
game I have ever seen.
1027
01:01:21,040 --> 01:01:25,680
It's staggeringly so, yeah.
How about the Paul Rudd Award
1028
01:01:25,680 --> 01:01:27,960
for game?
That's aged beautifully.
1029
01:01:28,520 --> 01:01:29,920
I.
Initially considered giving this
1030
01:01:29,920 --> 01:01:32,040
to Tecmo Bowl because I thought
that was really playable.
1031
01:01:32,440 --> 01:01:34,840
Yeah.
But we played Tetris this season
1032
01:01:34,840 --> 01:01:38,800
and I just felt like you.
Is it Tetris is eternal?
1033
01:01:39,360 --> 01:01:43,120
Yeah, it's like saying you want
chess to be modernized.
1034
01:01:43,560 --> 01:01:47,400
Yeah, that's you know what?
That's academically that might
1035
01:01:47,400 --> 01:01:51,720
be the correct answer.
I went with Double Dragon 2.
1036
01:01:52,160 --> 01:01:57,000
We covered it with Sharon from
40 Something Gamers, a podcast.
1037
01:01:57,240 --> 01:02:01,400
We also had his Co host Marquis
on our Contra episode, but that
1038
01:02:01,400 --> 01:02:04,240
game not only gave us a chance
to talk to two very wonderful
1039
01:02:04,240 --> 01:02:07,320
people, but that game is aged so
well.
1040
01:02:07,680 --> 01:02:11,000
Double Dragon 2 if you're a fan
of beat em UPS, in my book it
1041
01:02:11,000 --> 01:02:15,320
plays better than games like
Streets of Rage and even games
1042
01:02:15,320 --> 01:02:17,720
like Golden Axe.
And that's crazy because you had
1043
01:02:17,720 --> 01:02:20,360
so much less buttons, you had
such weaker hardware.
1044
01:02:20,600 --> 01:02:24,760
But Double Dragon 2 I think
might be the world's first great
1045
01:02:24,760 --> 01:02:26,920
beat em up.
Let me know in the comments why
1046
01:02:26,920 --> 01:02:31,520
I'm wrong. 2 was the one where
your buttons were like which
1047
01:02:31,520 --> 01:02:33,600
side you were attacking, right?
Correct.
1048
01:02:33,600 --> 01:02:36,200
And it was also the one where
like you would jump and then
1049
01:02:36,200 --> 01:02:38,960
Crouch and you could set up
attacks and do super attacks.
1050
01:02:38,960 --> 01:02:40,800
And it was all available from
the beginning.
1051
01:02:40,800 --> 01:02:42,960
You said to learn it.
It was also the one with the
1052
01:02:42,960 --> 01:02:44,880
helicopter level where you're
getting sucked out the door.
1053
01:02:44,920 --> 01:02:47,400
Like come on, you were digging
that too.
1054
01:02:47,920 --> 01:02:51,560
So how about then the Wadham
Award for weirdest and wackiest
1055
01:02:51,560 --> 01:02:53,800
game?
I'm excited for this one because
1056
01:02:53,960 --> 01:02:55,480
I don't know which direction
you're going to go.
1057
01:02:55,880 --> 01:02:58,440
I mean, I always try to make
sure that like, I'm not picking
1058
01:02:58,440 --> 01:03:00,120
the same game for a bunch of
these.
1059
01:03:00,240 --> 01:03:03,520
Yeah, I still needed to pick
Chevy Robo ultimately.
1060
01:03:03,600 --> 01:03:08,120
Like it just I've it felt like
it fit that of especially
1061
01:03:08,120 --> 01:03:11,000
because it just has that weird
vibe to it the whole way
1062
01:03:11,000 --> 01:03:12,800
through.
Yeah, yeah.
1063
01:03:13,120 --> 01:03:16,640
And definitely like where that
story gets kind of dark and
1064
01:03:16,640 --> 01:03:19,840
real, like it deals with like
divorce.
1065
01:03:19,840 --> 01:03:22,280
Like you had kind of pointed out
that some of the characters sort
1066
01:03:22,280 --> 01:03:24,240
of feel like they might be on
the spectrum.
1067
01:03:24,240 --> 01:03:26,920
So there's a bit of like
representation there.
1068
01:03:27,280 --> 01:03:30,400
But also there's such fully
fledged characters and none of
1069
01:03:30,400 --> 01:03:34,320
it ever feels like, you know,
mean spirited or stereotypical
1070
01:03:34,320 --> 01:03:38,000
or whatever.
Like it really is a truly rich
1071
01:03:38,000 --> 01:03:40,000
story.
And I'll get to that later.
1072
01:03:40,760 --> 01:03:44,240
I went with Earthbound.
I just think that that game is
1073
01:03:44,240 --> 01:03:48,360
so genuinely funny, both in
obvious ways.
1074
01:03:48,360 --> 01:03:52,160
Like Taylor pointed out from the
Wild Mouse podcast, the giant
1075
01:03:52,160 --> 01:03:54,600
pile of puke is, you know, is a
boss.
1076
01:03:55,160 --> 01:03:59,480
Like, how great is that?
But then even down to some of
1077
01:03:59,480 --> 01:04:01,760
the little slide jokes, like
early in the game, you're
1078
01:04:01,760 --> 01:04:06,200
blocked by a giant iron pencil,
so you have to find the pencil
1079
01:04:06,200 --> 01:04:08,200
eraser.
Like that's hilarious.
1080
01:04:08,200 --> 01:04:10,160
Like that.
That was the bit that had been
1081
01:04:10,160 --> 01:04:12,000
an octopus in the Japanese
version, right?
1082
01:04:12,320 --> 01:04:15,400
Yes, yes, that.
You bet you're hoping that was
1083
01:04:15,400 --> 01:04:18,960
going to be a trivia question.
I didn't know it was going to
1084
01:04:18,960 --> 01:04:21,800
come with the trivia questions.
I I just had that as one of my
1085
01:04:21,800 --> 01:04:23,800
thoughts.
Exactly like I had considered
1086
01:04:23,800 --> 01:04:26,680
that one for this as well
because of stuff like that.
1087
01:04:26,960 --> 01:04:29,960
But it also just does stuff as
RP GS I had never seen before.
1088
01:04:29,960 --> 01:04:32,720
Name in the comments.
Let me know one more RPG where
1089
01:04:32,720 --> 01:04:36,400
the dungeon joins your party
after you complete the dungeon
1090
01:04:36,400 --> 01:04:40,720
and the dungeon follows you and
it 1K OS everything because it's
1091
01:04:40,720 --> 01:04:44,680
a freaking dungeon.
Like it's so good it holds up so
1092
01:04:44,680 --> 01:04:46,880
well.
Earthbound on the SNES.
1093
01:04:47,440 --> 01:04:50,240
OK.
Skies of Arcadia award for most.
1094
01:04:50,240 --> 01:04:52,640
In need of a reboot or a
remaster?
1095
01:04:53,560 --> 01:04:55,840
I got to go with a game that had
an interesting concept and
1096
01:04:55,840 --> 01:04:58,840
handled horribly, Alien Storm.
What?
1097
01:04:59,040 --> 01:05:00,280
What do you mean?
Handled it horribly.
1098
01:05:00,280 --> 01:05:01,880
I thought you liked you.
Didn't like that game?
1099
01:05:01,960 --> 01:05:03,920
I like the concept.
I think the controls were
1100
01:05:04,120 --> 01:05:06,200
frustrating.
Yeah, the controls aren't very
1101
01:05:06,400 --> 01:05:08,080
accurate.
I almost put that because I
1102
01:05:08,080 --> 01:05:11,000
loved And by concept you mean
the fact that it blends beat em
1103
01:05:11,000 --> 01:05:14,000
up first person shooter like
auto scrolling shooter.
1104
01:05:14,000 --> 01:05:17,280
Yeah, it is cool how that game
blends genres and I always love
1105
01:05:17,400 --> 01:05:18,920
an excuse to talk to my brothers
about it.
1106
01:05:18,920 --> 01:05:21,080
They're the two most fun people
to talk to in the whole world.
1107
01:05:21,920 --> 01:05:27,640
I almost put it, but I went with
Telero boxer because I really
1108
01:05:27,640 --> 01:05:29,640
love that game.
I know Cyril likes that game is
1109
01:05:29,640 --> 01:05:32,800
one of your lowest games of the
whole season, but you're wrong
1110
01:05:32,800 --> 01:05:34,520
Mike.
That game is good, you just
1111
01:05:34,520 --> 01:05:38,240
didn't get used to it.
So if Nintendo ever does a
1112
01:05:38,240 --> 01:05:41,320
proper virtual reality system,
it would be so cool to have a
1113
01:05:41,320 --> 01:05:43,760
boxing game where you're just
independently controlling the
1114
01:05:43,760 --> 01:05:47,680
fists and you cuz I do a lot of
VR boxing in my spare time on my
1115
01:05:47,680 --> 01:05:50,080
metaquest.
I want to tell her a boxer
1116
01:05:50,080 --> 01:05:54,480
version of that the the the
enemy designs are so good and we
1117
01:05:54,480 --> 01:05:57,600
never got multiplayer because as
Cyril pointed out, like you
1118
01:05:57,600 --> 01:06:00,960
know, they never released the
multiplayer cable because the
1119
01:06:00,960 --> 01:06:03,840
system was such a flop.
Like that system flopped so
1120
01:06:03,840 --> 01:06:05,760
hard.
They never released peripherals.
1121
01:06:06,120 --> 01:06:08,120
So the two player mode was
dropped.
1122
01:06:08,120 --> 01:06:11,200
I want to play telero boxer in
versus mode and I know they're
1123
01:06:11,200 --> 01:06:13,400
spiritual successors, but I want
a real successor.
1124
01:06:13,600 --> 01:06:17,360
And plus Nintendo, you have
arms, which is a boxing
1125
01:06:17,360 --> 01:06:19,000
franchise with a bunch of
robots.
1126
01:06:19,880 --> 01:06:23,400
Telero boxer X arms.
You can have that for free, just
1127
01:06:23,480 --> 01:06:28,160
don't sue us.
OK, so then the Illumination
1128
01:06:28,160 --> 01:06:31,280
award for game that would make a
hit movie.
1129
01:06:31,720 --> 01:06:34,840
Mike, if we did a screen time
episode for one of these games,
1130
01:06:34,840 --> 01:06:38,320
what would it be?
I mean amusingly, not Quest for
1131
01:06:38,320 --> 01:06:41,240
Camelot.
I thought that too.
1132
01:06:42,280 --> 01:06:44,640
It's like be funny.
I feel dishonest.
1133
01:06:45,200 --> 01:06:47,040
I think I have to go Ninja
Gaiden too.
1134
01:06:47,360 --> 01:06:52,000
Not as good as the first one,
but both of those I would like
1135
01:06:52,000 --> 01:06:54,040
his movies.
Yeah, yeah.
1136
01:06:54,040 --> 01:06:56,000
You want it so badly that like
it extends.
1137
01:06:56,000 --> 01:06:57,480
You want a franchise of these
films.
1138
01:06:58,840 --> 01:07:01,200
No Solid answer.
I respect it dipping back into
1139
01:07:01,200 --> 01:07:03,080
the same.
Well, I actually went with Chibi
1140
01:07:03,080 --> 01:07:05,840
Robo on this one.
I think that there could be a
1141
01:07:05,840 --> 01:07:09,160
really cool live action should
be Robo, where the toys and the
1142
01:07:09,160 --> 01:07:11,800
chibi is.
Maybe stop motion, but you have
1143
01:07:11,800 --> 01:07:15,320
actual actors or some kind of
Who Framed Roger Rabbit blend or
1144
01:07:15,320 --> 01:07:17,360
maybe just purely claymation for
everything.
1145
01:07:17,800 --> 01:07:20,520
But I think like you put Wes
Anderson to direct it, you lean
1146
01:07:20,520 --> 01:07:23,760
into like the quirkiness of it.
You get kind of a folksy
1147
01:07:23,760 --> 01:07:27,680
soundtrack and and you focus on
the family drama.
1148
01:07:27,960 --> 01:07:30,560
You could even set it during
like a lockdown, you know, and
1149
01:07:30,560 --> 01:07:33,880
and have these robots and toys
be kind of their found family.
1150
01:07:34,080 --> 01:07:37,440
There's something there.
There's like a more nuanced Toy
1151
01:07:37,440 --> 01:07:40,600
Story that I think you could
tell with Chibi Robo.
1152
01:07:41,160 --> 01:07:44,760
So now it is a toy.
Is it?
1153
01:07:45,040 --> 01:07:46,640
I feel like it's more of an
appliance.
1154
01:07:47,600 --> 01:07:48,800
I think it's more like.
A toy?
1155
01:07:48,800 --> 01:07:52,520
OK, let us know in the comments.
We've been plugged in the
1156
01:07:52,520 --> 01:07:57,320
comments section a lot today.
So the 12:26 award for best
1157
01:07:57,320 --> 01:08:02,480
boxing, I think for as solid as
a season was for quality of
1158
01:08:02,480 --> 01:08:06,480
games, I don't know that there
was really a stand out favorite
1159
01:08:06,480 --> 01:08:08,520
boxer.
Did I mean I have an answer, but
1160
01:08:08,520 --> 01:08:11,320
did 1 jump out to you?
Tellura Boxer.
1161
01:08:11,720 --> 01:08:13,920
Wow, Tellura Boxer does get some
love.
1162
01:08:14,200 --> 01:08:17,800
What do you like about it?
The usage of the title as
1163
01:08:17,800 --> 01:08:22,439
basically brass knuckles on a
robot which is already metal is
1164
01:08:22,800 --> 01:08:26,080
a good way of working the title
into what's going on.
1165
01:08:26,760 --> 01:08:28,319
I agree.
It's also very dynamic.
1166
01:08:28,319 --> 01:08:33,359
It's very punchy.
I want to give some love to the
1167
01:08:33,359 --> 01:08:36,120
favorite of my boy Derek from
the underrated movie podcast
1168
01:08:36,439 --> 01:08:39,640
Majora's Mask.
I just remember seeing that box
1169
01:08:39,640 --> 01:08:42,960
as a kid, not having a Nintendo
64 yet.
1170
01:08:43,000 --> 01:08:45,479
Being so jealous of kids that
got to play it.
1171
01:08:45,840 --> 01:08:50,120
And skull Kids eyes just staring
at you from across the target,
1172
01:08:50,120 --> 01:08:53,319
impossible to resist.
You got that cool Elseworlds
1173
01:08:53,319 --> 01:08:55,840
kind of color palette.
The explosion of color.
1174
01:08:56,080 --> 01:09:00,399
I believe that the mask was
actually like raised up so like
1175
01:09:00,399 --> 01:09:02,720
it had texture to it.
Majora's Basque.
1176
01:09:02,920 --> 01:09:08,359
Best box for me, the Pro Skater
2 award for best manual.
1177
01:09:08,880 --> 01:09:10,960
Mike, what is your favorite
instruction manual?
1178
01:09:10,960 --> 01:09:12,560
And tell everyone why it's
earthbound.
1179
01:09:12,920 --> 01:09:15,279
I mean, it, it, it, it's, of
course it's Earthbound because
1180
01:09:15,279 --> 01:09:19,680
Earthbound, like nothing else is
able to catch up to that.
1181
01:09:19,680 --> 01:09:23,840
And there were things that
tried, but that thing is a, it's
1182
01:09:23,840 --> 01:09:27,399
the full manual for the game,
basically like the strategy
1183
01:09:27,399 --> 01:09:32,720
guide kind of thing, but sort of
done and kind of, I guess like a
1184
01:09:33,000 --> 01:09:37,000
diegetic sort of way where it's
like meant to sort of feel
1185
01:09:37,000 --> 01:09:39,399
within the world still more like
it's a travel guide.
1186
01:09:39,800 --> 01:09:41,760
Yeah.
And it made playing in the game
1187
01:09:41,760 --> 01:09:44,680
a lot, like, noticeably better.
Like, I wish I'd had the
1188
01:09:44,680 --> 01:09:47,439
physical thing while I was going
through, but it was so, so nice
1189
01:09:47,439 --> 01:09:49,880
to have a thing be like, oh, I
just kind of need to do like
1190
01:09:50,080 --> 01:09:52,520
these things.
It doesn't tell me how to do it,
1191
01:09:52,520 --> 01:09:55,280
but it tells me that you know
these are your To Do List items.
1192
01:09:55,880 --> 01:09:58,480
And you also said it has like
articles and things kind of
1193
01:09:59,040 --> 01:10:01,200
padding out the story of each
town that you're.
1194
01:10:01,200 --> 01:10:03,440
In Yeah, yeah, no, it's, it's
incredible.
1195
01:10:03,880 --> 01:10:06,680
It's, it's, it almost feels like
they should have found some way.
1196
01:10:06,680 --> 01:10:10,000
Hey, Nintendo, Nintendo, include
the manuals.
1197
01:10:10,560 --> 01:10:14,200
Make these readable on the
Switch as a PDF form or
1198
01:10:14,200 --> 01:10:17,920
something.
Or whoa, Nintendo, Oh, Nintendo.
1199
01:10:18,160 --> 01:10:21,920
Oh, listen, my sweet Nintendo,
you have this Nintendo Switch
1200
01:10:21,920 --> 01:10:24,720
Online app.
Why don't you just make that
1201
01:10:24,720 --> 01:10:27,560
part of the app?
And so then you you're playing
1202
01:10:27,560 --> 01:10:30,200
the game on your Switch or your
TV and then the phone app is the
1203
01:10:30,200 --> 01:10:34,080
instruction manual, right, Mike?
Slam dunk, Slam dunk.
1204
01:10:34,160 --> 01:10:37,880
Some of the things that we we
played on Switch that we're not
1205
01:10:37,880 --> 01:10:41,640
on Nintendo Switch Online knew
to give you the manuals, I
1206
01:10:41,640 --> 01:10:44,960
believe, yeah, I think zombies
at my neighbors, I believe did
1207
01:10:44,960 --> 01:10:46,240
that.
They did, yeah.
1208
01:10:46,280 --> 01:10:48,280
It's a known thing.
It's part of the industry.
1209
01:10:48,680 --> 01:10:50,960
And also the some of them are
really cool, like people put
1210
01:10:50,960 --> 01:10:54,280
really a lot of work into this.
It's part of the history, so you
1211
01:10:54,280 --> 01:10:55,600
know, and you have the rights to
it.
1212
01:10:55,600 --> 01:10:57,880
I'm sure you do.
Yeah, so make me having to go to
1213
01:10:57,880 --> 01:11:00,040
like the Internet Archive or
figure out whatever other place
1214
01:11:00,040 --> 01:11:02,360
has these.
Yeah, and make it more work for
1215
01:11:02,360 --> 01:11:03,720
my boy.
Which is what threw me with
1216
01:11:03,720 --> 01:11:05,560
Earthbound was like the first
thing I ended up with was like
1217
01:11:05,560 --> 01:11:08,120
100 page PDF.
I'm like that can't be a manual.
1218
01:11:08,120 --> 01:11:11,400
And then it was like, oh Nope,
this this is the only thing they
1219
01:11:11,400 --> 01:11:13,520
gave.
This is insane.
1220
01:11:13,960 --> 01:11:16,080
Insanely cool.
Insanely cool is more like it.
1221
01:11:16,840 --> 01:11:20,240
Well, let's do our final
community vote of the season and
1222
01:11:20,240 --> 01:11:22,880
let our listeners and our
Discord decide.
1223
01:11:22,880 --> 01:11:25,880
Get the Discord link
www.theoldswitcharoo.com.
1224
01:11:25,880 --> 01:11:31,200
This is gaming Retro Mike versus
J MO, who had the better top and
1225
01:11:31,200 --> 01:11:33,600
bottom Mike.
I think it'd be more fun if we
1226
01:11:34,040 --> 01:11:37,720
kind of bunch these, so people
have to kind of consider who's
1227
01:11:37,720 --> 01:11:42,640
less wrong here.
Mike's top game that was Chibi
1228
01:11:42,640 --> 01:11:45,600
Robo according to the and
standings rankings that we've
1229
01:11:45,600 --> 01:11:49,480
been doing all for most of the
season, and Mike's bottom game
1230
01:11:49,480 --> 01:11:51,800
was Telero Boxer.
Anything to say about your
1231
01:11:51,800 --> 01:11:54,720
candidates?
I think they flow really nicely
1232
01:11:54,720 --> 01:11:57,720
if you have to say the two one
after the other really quickly.
1233
01:11:58,240 --> 01:12:00,800
Chibi robo Telerobo.
Wait, hold on, which one you say
1234
01:12:00,800 --> 01:12:02,920
first?
I would go chibi robo telero
1235
01:12:02,920 --> 01:12:04,680
boxer.
Chibi robo boxer.
1236
01:12:06,280 --> 01:12:09,600
So that's Mike's top and bottom
or my top and bottom?
1237
01:12:09,640 --> 01:12:13,760
Top is earthbound and bottom is
super ninja boy I'm I still
1238
01:12:13,760 --> 01:12:16,120
haven't forgiven you Super ninja
boy, you broke my heart.
1239
01:12:16,320 --> 01:12:20,360
I want those 11 hours back.
So let us know we'll do a
1240
01:12:20,360 --> 01:12:23,680
discord poll and let us know in
the comments who has a better
1241
01:12:24,440 --> 01:12:29,920
eye on the top and bottom of our
season 4 list, which believes I
1242
01:12:29,920 --> 01:12:33,520
brings us to our switch list are
things we're looking forward to
1243
01:12:33,520 --> 01:12:36,440
are hoping to see added to the
Nintendo Switch online service
1244
01:12:36,720 --> 01:12:38,680
or just gaming or the future in
general.
1245
01:12:38,680 --> 01:12:41,360
Mike, you want to take us
through your pie in the sky
1246
01:12:41,360 --> 01:12:43,120
dreams?
I've got three things.
1247
01:12:43,120 --> 01:12:47,120
I think it's 1 you know, 1 you
can probably guess and one you
1248
01:12:47,120 --> 01:12:49,840
don't see coming.
Cruise in.
1249
01:12:50,560 --> 01:12:54,040
Yes I want cruise in USA Rogue
Squadron.
1250
01:12:55,320 --> 01:12:58,080
No, I should say the other two
are not specific titles.
1251
01:12:59,360 --> 01:13:01,200
OK, well you want another
system.
1252
01:13:01,600 --> 01:13:03,960
I want another system.
Any particular one?
1253
01:13:04,680 --> 01:13:07,320
I would say because we're
already part way there.
1254
01:13:07,600 --> 01:13:12,000
Sega CD or 32 X.
Yeah, I, I was saying I think
1255
01:13:12,000 --> 01:13:15,680
the 32X is far more likely
because if you did Sega CD,
1256
01:13:15,680 --> 01:13:17,640
you'd probably have to get the
likeness of the full motion
1257
01:13:17,640 --> 01:13:20,720
video games, and that's what
that was entirely known for.
1258
01:13:21,360 --> 01:13:22,840
I mean, I just want more Genesis
games.
1259
01:13:22,840 --> 01:13:25,480
Like just don't let that thing
die on the vine, you know?
1260
01:13:25,480 --> 01:13:28,400
I know you rebranded the
Nintendo Classics, but it has
1261
01:13:28,400 --> 01:13:31,200
its fans.
It keep being a place for that.
1262
01:13:31,200 --> 01:13:33,200
There's so many great Genesis
games to go.
1263
01:13:33,200 --> 01:13:36,960
And then what was the third one?
I would like a Virtual Boy
1264
01:13:36,960 --> 01:13:40,360
controller because I don't think
the Switch controller is well
1265
01:13:40,360 --> 01:13:44,200
suited for the Virtual Boy.
Yeah, and there's something kind
1266
01:13:44,200 --> 01:13:48,520
of OCD about you can get
recreations of the controller
1267
01:13:48,520 --> 01:13:51,640
for every system but that one.
I guess you can't order a Game
1268
01:13:51,640 --> 01:13:54,120
Boy either.
But it I agree though, there is
1269
01:13:54,120 --> 01:13:56,280
a button layout that I don't
think is being properly
1270
01:13:56,280 --> 01:13:59,200
emulated.
Not at all, especially I think
1271
01:13:59,200 --> 01:14:03,760
especially like Telero Boxer.
It's a stupid configuration and
1272
01:14:03,760 --> 01:14:07,160
I would much rather have had
what that controller actually
1273
01:14:07,160 --> 01:14:08,320
had.
Right.
1274
01:14:08,880 --> 01:14:12,040
Though I will also add I think
it's utterly stupid that those
1275
01:14:12,040 --> 01:14:15,400
controller sell outs like the S
and the S controller is sold out
1276
01:14:15,400 --> 01:14:17,160
right now.
Yeah, you think they would just
1277
01:14:17,160 --> 01:14:18,280
produce more when they run out
of them?
1278
01:14:19,120 --> 01:14:22,280
Yeah, just keep making them and
making them available and not
1279
01:14:22,280 --> 01:14:23,960
being weird about this.
I don't.
1280
01:14:24,000 --> 01:14:25,760
I don't get why they're weird
about this.
1281
01:14:26,480 --> 01:14:28,440
Well, and you know, that's still
my billion dollar idea is that I
1282
01:14:28,440 --> 01:14:32,280
think that they should put these
in stores and include a free
1283
01:14:32,440 --> 01:14:36,120
subscription and let Nintendo
classic live on a smart TV.
1284
01:14:36,840 --> 01:14:39,280
Like I think Switch is strong
enough as it is that I think
1285
01:14:39,280 --> 01:14:42,240
that this service deserves more
devices.
1286
01:14:43,080 --> 01:14:46,000
So I'm still waiting for my
previous wishes.
1287
01:14:46,000 --> 01:14:49,280
Clay fighter rampage.
I still want Wario mega party
1288
01:14:49,280 --> 01:14:50,920
games on the game cube.
That was a stress family
1289
01:14:50,920 --> 01:14:52,320
favorite.
If you're listening the turtle
1290
01:14:52,320 --> 01:14:54,920
balancing game, Mike, we have
Game Cube games now.
1291
01:14:55,760 --> 01:14:58,840
So I'm going to show you what
I'm pretty sure is going to be
1292
01:14:59,360 --> 01:15:00,800
your new favorite game of all
time.
1293
01:15:01,760 --> 01:15:03,240
Are you ready?
All right.
1294
01:15:03,760 --> 01:15:08,840
Have you heard of Odama?
Not yet, not.
1295
01:15:08,880 --> 01:15:18,120
Odama ODAMA is a pinball real
time strategy game where the
1296
01:15:18,120 --> 01:15:23,440
battlefield is a pinball table.
You use flippers to knock a
1297
01:15:23,440 --> 01:15:27,320
giant cannonball around, to
destroy your enemy's
1298
01:15:27,320 --> 01:15:30,720
foundations, and to knock over
their troops and hopefully not
1299
01:15:30,720 --> 01:15:33,320
destroy your own.
And I don't know, you're
1300
01:15:33,320 --> 01:15:36,640
probably not going to love this.
But since you're busy operating
1301
01:15:36,640 --> 01:15:39,920
the flippers, you have to use
voice command to tell your
1302
01:15:39,920 --> 01:15:41,640
troops where to go.
The Game Cube came with a
1303
01:15:41,640 --> 01:15:44,160
microphone.
It loses me at that.
1304
01:15:44,320 --> 01:15:48,240
Dang it, How'd you going though?
I go from skeptical that they
1305
01:15:48,240 --> 01:15:52,640
can pull this off but willing to
hear this out to not on board.
1306
01:15:53,000 --> 01:15:54,200
Nah.
Dang it.
1307
01:15:54,320 --> 01:15:57,400
Well, maybe they'll figure out
some clever work around and
1308
01:15:57,440 --> 01:16:01,880
let's end it up here with our
final Mike Lund's thoughts.
1309
01:16:01,920 --> 01:16:05,680
I'll throw back to the title
that my brothers wanted to see.
1310
01:16:06,040 --> 01:16:08,920
Any parting words for our
listeners Mike, as we round out
1311
01:16:08,920 --> 01:16:11,720
Season 4 here?
I think it is always just the
1312
01:16:11,720 --> 01:16:15,200
thing.
Please share this to help
1313
01:16:15,440 --> 01:16:19,560
broaden our community, and if
you haven't joined the Discord,
1314
01:16:20,240 --> 01:16:23,640
become part of that community.
Part of how this grows is
1315
01:16:23,920 --> 01:16:25,720
individual people recommending
stuff out there.
1316
01:16:25,720 --> 01:16:28,600
There's a lot of robots
controlling how the Internet
1317
01:16:28,600 --> 01:16:31,200
works right now.
Human touches matter.
1318
01:16:31,800 --> 01:16:34,200
Yeah, yeah, not in a cute chibi
robo kind of way.
1319
01:16:34,200 --> 01:16:37,080
In a much more distressing way.
Yeah, absolutely.
1320
01:16:37,240 --> 01:16:39,720
Thank you to everyone who has
been supporting us in the
1321
01:16:39,720 --> 01:16:43,320
Discord and thank you to our
celebrity guests.
1322
01:16:43,560 --> 01:16:47,640
Jackie Kasian from the season.
Wonderful to get her on Jason
1323
01:16:47,640 --> 01:16:52,120
Page delivering, you know, a
world exclusive first interview
1324
01:16:52,120 --> 01:16:54,320
of his new game from Ultra
Dolphin Revolution.
1325
01:16:54,520 --> 01:16:57,920
I'll be covering that soon.
Very excited to have Lisa come
1326
01:16:57,920 --> 01:17:01,440
over and plug her Game Boy into
my streaming card because I'm
1327
01:17:01,440 --> 01:17:04,320
going to capture footage of the
Jason Page game, maybe the first
1328
01:17:04,600 --> 01:17:06,560
playthrough that'll be uploaded
to the Internet.
1329
01:17:06,560 --> 01:17:07,880
So that's going to be super
exciting.
1330
01:17:08,400 --> 01:17:11,240
And then also, you know, just
because the timing of when this
1331
01:17:11,240 --> 01:17:14,520
episode's going to come out, I,
I would just urge everyone
1332
01:17:14,520 --> 01:17:16,920
listening in America to please
vote.
1333
01:17:17,080 --> 01:17:20,360
If I ever sound cynical, I want
to make it very clear that I
1334
01:17:20,360 --> 01:17:22,640
really love this country.
I really have faith in
1335
01:17:22,640 --> 01:17:25,320
democracy.
And I really feel like if enough
1336
01:17:25,320 --> 01:17:28,280
of us participate in the
process, I think things will
1337
01:17:28,280 --> 01:17:31,640
trend in a positive direction.
So please don't let yourself
1338
01:17:31,800 --> 01:17:34,960
ever feel defeated or cynical
and, you know, keep good
1339
01:17:34,960 --> 01:17:37,320
conversations going.
Hopefully we've added a little
1340
01:17:37,320 --> 01:17:41,280
bit to that, a little bit of
that to your day in some in some
1341
01:17:41,280 --> 01:17:43,720
small way.
This podcast has been about
1342
01:17:43,720 --> 01:17:45,920
nothing for me.
It's about continuing after
1343
01:17:45,920 --> 01:17:50,880
being defeated.
Words to live by.
1344
01:17:50,880 --> 01:17:55,800
And for me it's been cheating.
Oh well, everyone, it's been a
1345
01:17:55,800 --> 01:17:58,680
long time coming, but that's
going to do it for Season 4.
1346
01:17:59,000 --> 01:18:02,360
Everyone join us next time when
Mike and I will be doing it
1347
01:18:02,360 --> 01:18:07,080
again with another screen time
episode as we cover 2026's
1348
01:18:07,240 --> 01:18:13,000
martial arts mix up Street
Fighter with at least some of us
1349
01:18:13,000 --> 01:18:15,360
in costume.
So that's going to be fun.
1350
01:18:15,760 --> 01:18:20,360

1353
01:18:26,600 --> 01:18:29,600
Big thanks to Crystal Fields for
our incredible intro song.

And please, dear listener, don't
forget to like and subscribe.
1355
01:18:33,400 --> 01:18:36,280
This has been the old switcheroo
where we've been talking gaming
1356
01:18:36,280 --> 01:18:38,760
retro with Mike and Jamo.
I've been Mike.
1357
01:18:39,280 --> 01:18:40,080
And I've been Jamo.
Geek
Born into comfortable middle-class suburbia, I got into gaming early in life with Sonic and the Sega Genesis. Things were great, as all new romances are, but eventually I tired of her. And so I moved from the chunky cartridges of my youth to the sleek curve of the Playstation's CD-ROM disks. From there it was on to her sister the Playstation 2, then to their cousin the Xbox. They were fun times to be sure, but all the while it felt like something was MISSING. That's when I realized that what had been searching for had been staring me in the face since the beginning, the best friend that had been by my side all along: my PC. And so I forsook (mostly) the realm of the console and began the one great love of my life. And I haven't looked back since.
