"We will see. So I'm not super sure, so I didn't put it on just 'cause I really have not heard whether or not what's going on. We had just yet. Yeah. Yeah. And then we did it, just didn't work out. But there will be game as mornings for the rest of the week. Grub, I believe we have a special guest on Thursday, correct? Yeah, yeah, we have Patrick kleppe on Thursday I think I'm having Kyle Hilliard from GameSpot on Wednesday. So yeah, look out for that. It's gonna be a good week and I think there we go. It should be with me on Friday. So. Any day this week we could hear about Nintendo stuff, Sony could announce something any day. I don't know for sure, but they could. It feels like it could be big news, could be wait until next week. We'll see. Either way, game this morning is going to be a lot of fun for the whole week, so I'm looking forward to I don't know about you, Jeff grubb, but I'm excited to see Dan play more sonic 2006. And I feel like we have the majority vote over him, so I think he has to play sonic 2000. We're going to be there. He's very supportive. It would be very rude if he didn't show up to play. He's in the chat going very good time. I had a very good time watching that game with you. So yeah, let's do that. Oh, I have so many questions on this game. It's like the fucking game, he says. Play that game. You're gonna finish it. Baccala is gonna continue on with eternal darkness this week as well. If you missed it this morning, we had an episode of the power bomb cast, featuring Mike minotti and Jordan from Al bummer. We may potentially defend a gun how tomorrow night goes, having another episode of the power bomb cast. Also our sweet little our sweet little art boy Justin vishen was at the show and I would like to hear his recounting of how that went. You see the one wearing the giant Bond t-shirts? That was his. Represent. There we go. That's our boy. That's our sweet little art boy. Jess Jeff grubb, anything else before we get on out of here? I'm just looking. There we go. A good to each other. Be good to each other, go outside, drink some water, any time you see a V or the shape of a V, that's for victory because you just won, baby. That's right. I need to find the thing to play it. And if you see that V, just hold out your own V and then just scissor it. You know, hold on. Hold on. I just had an E epiphany. All right. You know, whenever electronic epiphany E, epiphany. Thanks to drew scanlon. Anytime he stream ends, you know, people throw up the diamond, right? The Sims diamond. I'm gonna say what if that diamond, what if we get a little closer to each other? You know, what if we get closer and just scissor? There we go, folks. Yeah, there we go, everybody. Rolling the intro. It should eventually play. Is it plague? It's not playing. I don't hear it. Dang it. The outro. Which one is is there a forever? Is it this one? There we go. Yeah. This is fun. Thanks, everyone. Goodbye. Hi, this is Jim Jefferies.

"Big, big dude that everyone loved in wrestling who's kind of like the bad boy of everything gets brought back. He's the champion now, but then he has a very fragile ego and then talks mess about other employees, perhaps the executive vice presidents in the company. It altercation ensues where his homie bites one of those EVPs. What do you do here, Jess? I don't care. That's what I do. Not care. Hey, guess what? That is the same attitude as the president of the company, so you are on to something there. Look at that guy, you know, look at that face. Which is the man we're talking about the fluffy haired one? Yes, yes. Well, Tony Khan. Tony Khan is the one that doesn't care and then the bleeding guy won is the bad guy that, well, he's the one that apparently no one likes working with. Even though he's got this persona bottom where he left the last place and he was the victim when he probably actually seemed like it was in the problems and stuff like that. So anyhow. So then CM Punk, okay, all right. All right, all right. Last one last one last one. This is so rude. Last one comes from always be corgi fantastic name. I will always be a corgi sure. What's something nice you'd like to say to someone else on the bomb cast? Spread the power of positivity. It's a new day. Yes it is. We can extend this past just the three of us here. And so the whole staff, this actually isn't to anyone that works the giant bomb, but I just need to say how much I appreciate and just adore Mike minotti. He's a good boy. He's a good guy. He's a good actor. A good egg. Yeah. Do you listen to their new 90s Disney episode by the themed restaurants? It got me really wanted to go to a planet Hollywood for sure. I don't know how it will ever happen, but I would love to go to Disneyland with Mike menotti. Well, we haven't been in a very long time, not especially not as an adult and I'm gonna make them plan it for him and his brother stuff make him plan it for me and my kids and my wife. And I'm imagine like, just come with us and help us figure this out. So we should all just go at the same time in the movie. Oh, what do you guys doing here? Oh my God. I would love to go to Disney World or land with some kids. I'm very excited. We just bought a house. It's hard, but I'm like, no, the money I'm saving is for this specific reason to take them. While they're still like three to 5, four to 6, so that's gonna be perfect. Yeah, I can't wait to say about Jeff grubb, cute fucking kids. Love here at home. Oh my God. What a good man. Feel feelings for a moment. Well, I apologize for that. I'm not going to take any responsibility for any decisions you make with your life going forward, so you know. I will say Jess, you always are working and yet you always make time to ask if anyone else needs help with anything and that is very nice to see and I want to be helpful. And it's noticed. It doesn't feel like we're bothering you. It feels like, no, I want to be helpful, and that helps us. Yeah, it makes me want to be like, oh, I can't ask for help. Also, shout out to an actual giant bomb employee, Matthew Rory. I love this man. Oh my God. The things he understands. So hard. Yes. We have problems with things in the ways that he's like, oh, and we need to talk to this person this person and I'm like, oh my God, that would have taken me a month just to figure that out. The balls that he juggles. Yeah. Our pendulous literal. He loves to juggle. Yeah, you know, for folks that don't know Rory handles like an obscene amount of things on the website. Too much. Too much. I think he does the job of three people, Loki. Always wheel in and deal in, and on the ball, and I can not believe it. Yeah, he's even on the ball about the jug, the ball's he's juggling. He's on those. Also, backlash is really good at handling all the stuff between us and like anything else that's going on with the company. Like just kind of being in the buffer for those things is crucial to me as someone just isn't good at handling those things. No, he has the finesse. Yeah, yes. The savvy. Even with even when it was just like onboarding stuff for me and it was like me and I think Dan were both missing some of our onboarding stuff because we were coming right at E three. And he's like, no, I'm listen. I'm hearing about it. Don't you worry, but I'm also gonna bother you with it when I was like, hey, I think I'm missing some stuff. He's like, oh, you are. I'm like, okay, cool. Thank you for handling it so much. I really appreciate that. You are such a good manager. You're so cool and so nice and so supportive and also finger on the pulse in a way. Yeah, he's like always knows what's going on. It's a good team. It's so nice. We're a very good team. We're all great. I was watching the Japanese cartoon, also known as the japanimation Naruto. And in that show, a kid was fighting and he's hurt and he was still going to fight and he finishes the fight and he wins and he's about to fall back on his back because he's so exhausted and right then his sensei Kashi sensei just flashes right up there and he puts his knee into his back so no one notices he's about to fall over and that's what I feel this team is. You got the knee in the back to make sure we're not going to look weak in front of everyone else and that is what I like about this team. Yes, exactly. I was the same way. I'm like, I guess you shouldn't say you're hot and that's how I feel about this team. Yes, that's right. We are all kakashi sensei. We're all hella cool. What else is happening this week? We didn't have a Monday meeting, so it's a bit of a wacky week. Yeah. 'cause yeah, we usually a little behind the scenes baseball here. We usually schedule this whole schedule on Monday. And we sort out like, okay, what time are we doing this with day? Are we doing this? I'm interested in this. Does anybody want to do it with me? So we didn't get to have that meeting this week because it was Labor Day. So if it looks a little scanty on here, it's because it's like boogie haven't planned out everything because of it. So for you to schedule. Yes. Also, I realize. Today, so yeah, so we already got some stuff going, yeah. Yeah. That's not there. I actually won't be here for on Friday, so there may not be a sekiro showa. Oh, I'm sorry. No, no, no, no, no, no, it's fine. It even says at the bottom there, card subject to change. So this is probably what the week is going to look like. Hey, I will place xenoblade chronicles because I didn't play it on Monday and I would like to not skip a week. So this is perfect for me. So yeah, let's do that. I'll do that on Friday instead, so. Boom. I've never seen a blade this Friday, everybody. Fantastic. The chat's asking, no, Jeff jeffs this week, I'm not sure. If there's a traveling last week was making it hard, she might have to catch up on stuff.

"Kid talking anymore. And I got into a huge argument with my boss over it. And like low key, I think he almost fired me. I feel like, honestly, guys, as a white man, I was able to pretty much say anything at my job and I could just come back the next day and everyone was just like normal. It worked at Jimmy John's and I would just treat the manager. Listen, the manager treated us really poorly. And so I just gave it back to them and I felt like if anyone else would have done that, they would have got fired, but I would just let apparently not. Apparently, I'm just coming back the next day and still just working here. I'm yelling at him constantly about not letting us have direct deposit and all the I'm like, I'm gonna start a union, guys. You better watch out and all this stuff. And whatever. Okay, yeah, sure thing. Mike menotti in the chat asking, why didn't he want to fix the fish? That was why I was losing my mind. I'm like, why can't we fix the fish? It was driving me insane. And it's like, we made the prop once. Make it again. We had all these spare Billy bass fish in the warehouse. We're all kind of like have to have them all ready to go? No, not ready to go. They were like, they were like a harvested for parts, basically. Okay, yeah, spare parts. But it's like harvest apart from one of those fuckers and put in this fucker. Come on. If you've made it once, you can make it again, and also if you made it once and can't make it again, why did you make it such a crucial prop in the fucking escape room? If you only have one of them. This is what I was talking about. All right, next question from Discord comes from. You need to come up with a new assassination scenario in hitman for IO interactive. It can be on an existing map or an entirely new setting. What's your new scenario? Fish. I was going to say. I was going to be the best fish, but when it got like a gun in its mouth and it just shoots shoots directly at the person. The holding the Billy bus. I've already said mine before, I'll just repeat it real quick. You take the train level and you take all the characters from the murder mystery level and you put them in the train and you put them in a little mystery on the train. Yes. Let's do that. But okay, so a GameStop and one of the kills is the guy standing in front of the Guitar Hero guitar gondola and it just push it over. No, the gondola. Escape room. Fantastic. That'd be good. I want some sort of like, I don't know. Can we mix this up with saw somehow, like jigsaw? Basically, it's basically what they do that. Yeah. Lots of ways to die in those movies. Okay. Next Discord question comes from Jedi series KV. What's the most appealing game slash genre that you never want to play? Stark competitive StarCraft because it looks way too complicated and my reflexes will never be able to match up with it. That and Rainbow Six siege. I've always wanted to get into it. You would enjoy it though. But it's just, it just seems so impenetrable at this point because it's been going for forever. Yeah, if you watch anything competitive from that scene, it is because they're playing a different game than what normal people play. It's a good time. I haven't played in a couple of years. Man, we should play some siege. That would be fun. For me, it's just like all fighting games. That's actually my answer to, yes, fighting games. I love the way they look that everything about them. And the music was into them at Street Fighter two. Yeah, Street Fighter two was like, I'm getting this and then it just left me behind and I try to play them now and I feel incapable. I'm just like, I might as well be a toddler throwing a tantrum hitting the buttons. It's just pathetic. And also I don't have the patience to really pass fish her fingers. Slapping it on the controller right on there. I just don't have the patience to learn. And I definitely don't have the patience to get good. 'cause it's not just learning. Like you have to actually be pretty competent to even play online at all, right? You feel good. See through the matrix a little bit because it's about painting and understanding what your opponents could be doing at any one moment and making them think you're going to do one thing when you're actually going to do the other. And I'm like, okay, I understand all of that. I don't understand how I get from here to that. I feel like those are two different parts of my brain. Like the strategy part of my brain and the reaction part of my brain and never do those two communicate with each other. Yeah. I like playing poker because it's like it's a very slow process of that same thing of like making your pony think you're going to do one thing and doing the other and all that stuff, but that's a turn based strategy game and I can understand that. All right, let's just read a couple more here. Let's see. Asks, you're the road in starving. You need to pick a place to eat without being able to look up from your phone. What's your inner checklist for picking the best option? Wendy's. I was going to say in and out if you are driving up and down California. Also, yeah. They're all the same. The question is just like what's like a go to place that I can trust will be fine. Wendy's is definitely a good one. Arby's probably for me. I like Arby's. Yep, that's right, give me a roast beef right now. Two roast beef. And curly fries. The fries are good. What does that even mean? I don't know if they okay, anyway. Bond law asks, hypothetically speaking, if you had more money than the crockets, would you, okay, okay. If you had more money than, yes, yes. If you had more money than the crockets, would you sit back and take this shit? Okay, just a video game website. Jess, I'm gonna explain the situation as quickly as possible. All right. Your big champion. To be explained to. Don't want to hear it. I've got a chance to explain this to you, okay? Here it goes. All right.

"Right, next email comes from Joe. That fancy new PS5 controller with a replaceable joystick modules is basically Sony admitting that stick drift is a problem. It's not Sony's fault though. The I don't know. Potentiometers, the. Potentiometers, potentially geometers. Sure, that's a word I don't believe them, Joe. Yeah, me neither. Enjoy stick modules. Just wear out over time and start to drift. It's a flaw. It all joysticks in all controllers. So a controller that lets you fix the issue by replacing the joystick modules without a plus is a great step forward. Except for the part where Sony is basically trying to profit off a problem instead of just fixing it. Having controller joysticks that don't need to be replaced in the first place would be a better solution. But nobody came up with a joystick that doesn't drift. Besides Sega in the 90s. Uh oh. You know what controller joysticks don't drift and basically can't drift under normal use? The Dreamcast controller. Huh. Why? Because the Dreamcast joystick uses hall effect sensors. Hell yeah. Hall effect sensors use magnetic fields to determine stick position, so there's no potential to develop drift. Oh. 8 bit dough's new Bluetooth controllers. Coming out for this reason. Coming out in October is going to have haul sensors in the sticks. So here's hoping the first party controllers follow suit. I'm sure Sony won't hesitate to sell you a replacement stick modules with all sensors in them for their new controller, if that wasn't the plan all along. From New York, it's the plan. This is a very interesting piece together a few things. I was aware the Dreamcast controllers didn't drift. I think someone did a video on it on YouTube and I recommended me, I haven't watched it yet, and I'm like, oh, it did use hall effect sensors, so how effective sensors have been around for a long time. I am assuming they are just a couple pennies more expensive than whatever these companies are using, right? That's probably that simple. And so that's added costs. And you know, they work at first and maybe they wear down over time, but hey, you build in that sort of thing and all kinds of stuff because then you want to sell people more of these things down the line. So yeah, this seems frustrating. I hope that maybe if we keep being a little bit loud about stick drift, the hall effect will just become the new norm in the new standard. That would be fantastic. I just need them. To rename it to Scott hall effect. Yes, Scott hall, Scott halls, what are magnets damn it, effect? I'm curious. If 'cause this can be that much more expensive than the what they're currently doing, right? So like, was there just bad magnet PR in the late 90s and 2000s? You put it on top of your TV, your CRT TV, and it caused it to warp or something. Listen, I did that as a kid. Okay, okay. Controller, but just you first, please. I was gonna say, so does this mean that second party controllers are now going to be the player one controller and the official controller will be the player two controller that you give to your friend because you don't want them to have a good controller. I mean, very well could be and with their 8 bit dough, that's actually how it works for me right now. I would give someone the Nintendo official pro controller for the switch instead of an 8 bit dough that doesn't even have the whole effect, but especially if it had the whole effect because I really like the 8 bit dough pro controllers for switch, way better than the Nintendo one. So yeah, I think you're right. I think you're on to something there. How the tables have turned. Yeah, how the turn tables. What were you going to say, Jan? I completely don't remember, just like any idea. He was just going to say he was going to say potentiometers again and again and again. Yeah, I was helping my partner create her vocab quiz for her students. That is a word to throw on there. Let me tell you. It's in there. It's incredibly dirt cheap and doesn't require extra chips to process the information. They just worked. I bet a potentiometer literally is a penny for these companies. I bet it's that cheap. It has to be a drop in the bucket, right? Like not even a drop in the bucket. It's like side splash and whatnot. I mean, also, you know, for these bigger companies to sell a lot of these, potential geometers probably are in easy supply and these hall effect sensors are probably a little bit more difficult to manufacture. So there are a lot of concerns go into it. They need to just bite the bullet, though, and the solutions out there, they need to just use it. Most definitely. God, what I wouldn't give for a joy con that doesn't drift. All right, next email comes from malloy. Good game for boomer? Is there a subject title? Hello, bombs. I'm not a boomer, but haven't been committed to games for the last 5 years. No, I don't blame marriage, crying face laughing emoji. I want to play slash finish, newish games that are not too difficult because my gamer reflexes suck now. Looking forward to your expert advice, PS Diablo like FPS action adventure is my jam. Cheers, malloy from Manila. I think a good thing is to challenge yourself a little bit in a way that is fun. So my recommendation is going to be neon white and don't look at your friend's leaderboard. Just go in there and try to get the golds and then get all the presents inside each level. And I think as you're doing that, you might find that some of your reflexes start to come back. And if you get engaged with that stuff and you want to try to get better at that stuff, you can. And if you don't, it's still a fun game that provides a lot of challenge in a silo away from everything that's happening with score chasing and things like that. This isn't a joke. I would recommend Fortnite.

"A $130 off. Wait, break news yet again. That's incredible. Good work. Yeah, Jason stryer just confirmed it so I guess I'll talk about it then. Which is, it's the Assassin's Creed is the other one that's gonna have witches. It's actually gonna take a place, I guess the Holy Roman witch trials, which could be more grim than spooky, I guess. But I hope they're like, they embrace it. It assesses creeds MO, right? They're not afraid of embracing the magic side of things, so I really hope they go in that direction. Yeah, and like fully have witchcraft be part of the mechanics in that game. And to me, that sounds super exciting. I don't know something about that really works. I think it's a good idea. I also hope that you just canonically can only play as a woman in there. I think that would be interesting too, just like the deal. Really face these things down in a way that's not like, we're gonna let you pick your character. Like, no, write a strong story about what that was like. And yeah, I think that could be very cool. So we will almost certainly we'll hear about that on Saturday as that witness that the tenth Saturday. We'll get that. We will get the Japanese setting, which is these are the two major ones for infinity, and then we'll hear about mirage, which is coming out first. I think it's an exciting time for Assassin's Creed because it also sounds like they're figuring out sort of a two pronged pronged approach similar to what we talked about like two blades. You have like one game that's very familiar and easier to produce like the rest of the evil remakes. That's kind of what the mirage is. It's like, oh, it's an old style Assassin's Creed. It worked taking DLC and making it into something bigger. Do something like that, and then on this other side of this big sprawling live service game version of sex could whatever that looks like. But with very cool settings and different modules to keep different kinds of people coming back in and checking in on it at different times. That sounds like a concept that can really work. So looking forward to see what it actually looks like. Yeah, after a while, Odyssey Valhalla just wasn't doing it for me and just became kind of intimidating in terms of open world games that I just miss running around on rooftops. Yeah, I think one of them can hit with you too. It's like, oh, Odyssey worked for me. I don't need Valhalla. I played enough of Odyssey, or I still have a lot of stuff undone and Odyssey. So it's like, once one works for you, the other two that are just kind of like that but bigger and different and different directions become unnecessary. And so having some more variety in the way they approach Assassin's Creed is a good idea. I hope the which one is the one that clicks with me because I haven't super clicked with any of the assassin's creeds in a way that I want to dump as many hours as they provide into it. And like I said, the whaling was my favorite part in black flag, but the rest I could do without honestly, so maybe my interest in dark matters, the occult. Maybe this is the one where it's like, oh, that's a topic. I'm more interested in than Greek and Roman mythology and pirate stuff. So yeah, I'm hopeful. I know nothing about the Roman witch trials, but here we are yet again on giant bomb furthering the Catholic agenda. Let's talk about email. Did we ever talk about that? We alluded a bit to it or whatever. Someone I read it thought there were so many

"But yeah, I mean, this is, I guess we'll see what virtuous is capable of capable. But in the meantime, they are growing and can take on more work and we'll see if that leads to even more remakes or just more work for higher stuff on other games. This was a fun one. Callisto protocol director walks back on comments appearing to promote crunch. Striking distance studio CEO and the Callisto protocol director Glynn scofield posted and then deleted tweet that appeared to glorify development crunch before later walking back on his comments. In a now deleted tweet, schofield said I only talk about the game during an event. We are working 6 to 7 days a week. Nobody's forcing us. Exhaustion, tired, COVID, but we're working. Bugs, glitches. He continued perfect fixes, one last pass through audio, 12 to 15 hour days. This is gaming, hard work, lunch, dinner, working. You do it 'cause you love it. This receives backlash. On Labor Day, weekend. The worst time to make this tweet. Now, this is maybe it really is an illustration of the problem, right? Because this is someone who is doing it because he loves it, but he's also in charge of the studio, and if he makes it sound like this is gaming, this is what working on games is and you work for him. Do you honestly feel like you have a choice to work on it in any way, but what he just described there. Not quite. No, have a choice. I'm always hesitant about this because I've worked late at jobs on sprints to the finish line, right? Those are when you see the end of the project and you have the momentum and you want to maintain the momentum. And sprinting towards the finish line, I'm stealing that term from Michael flutter, who does a couple podcasts, and he's like, it's a difference between sprinting and crunch culture. And if you are sprinting toward the finish line, I get it. And maybe there should be space made for that. If you are creating a culture though where crunch is expected for a long periods of time and people feel like they don't have a choice, that is the issue and what he's clearly describing there is is that. So he walked it back and he later posted anyone who knows me knows how passionate I am about the people I work with earlier I tweeted how proud I was of the effort and hours the team was putting in. That was wrong. We value passion and creativity not long hours. I'm sorry to the team for coming across like this. And what else could he say? But yeah. I think people should just really be focused on what's the outcome, not the input. That's where I'm at and hopefully that's something that the team can still get over there. What do you think, Jen? You know what? At least that is a boss that is taking a stance and saying something. And apologizing that even if they're framing is like, oh, I got misconstrued, sorry. At least walking back on it almost not immediately, but soon after saying all this. But you're right though, when if the boss says he precedent for the tone, it kind of, I don't want to say forces, but strongly urges the rest of the team to also do the same. You know, the classic saying goes, boss gets hard. I gotta get hard, right? Wow. Yeah. That's what we always say here, unfortunately. As someone in the chat pointed out, nobody is forcing us, says the executive with the power to fire people. Yeah. Nobody's forced it. You're the guy that is setting the president. Cuddle coercion is like something that I'm surprised that I guess I'm not surprised. People get into positions of power and don't understand their power fully all the time. It's just frustrating to see it repeated over and over, even as people slowly try to explain that your subtle coercion and the power dynamics are real and you need to recognize that if you're going to take that position of power and I do believe good and schofield when he says that this comes from a place of passion for him, he just needs to recognize what his words, the effect they can have in really anything else that he might be doing in the studio to make people feel like they don't have a choice, then it's a problem for sure and it's more of a problem if it happens over long periods of time and to the point where it's like months and months of crunch and this is a problem in the industry is continue to deal with. But I don't know. Would you guys read something like this? It's like do you feel like things have gotten better in the industry and like because people were really quick to shout it down or do you think like at most studios it probably is still the same old crunch culture. I mean they're shutting down the statement, but are they actually shutting down any of the culture or the behavior or the east coast at the studio? Yeah, it's easy to just walk back oopsie doodles like this where you accidentally said the thing you shouldn't say but yeah like actionable results and so on. I don't know that's hard apparently but you know it's hard because the gaming industry is not unionized. At all basically except for little tiny handfuls of indie projects so yeah and even like with smaller indie projects, right? Like you can't stop a small team of maybe like less than 20 folks from like wanting to grind it out to get to cross the finish line there or if it's a single dev, right? We work hard here and there's times when we work late and there's times when there's times when we crunch on projects. The thing I hear the most from Jan is take it easy. Go home. We're done. Okay, that is the mantra from someone at the top here. Take care of yourself. Go home, enjoy your weekend. When you hear that stuff, it's like, okay, there's a permissible environment to have a life. And you don't hear that. In fact, you begin to hear the opposite, or if Jan was talking constantly about how proud he was of working light which he does, you work late all the time. If that's what he talked about, the point of pride he took, that would make me feel different about things. And I would be struggling with that at those feelings. And that's what we're talking about here is taking responsibility for your own work habits and other peoples around you, especially if you have any position of power. And it's a difficult thing, but it's a manageable thing. It's something that should be expected. And that's kind of what we're really asking is we're not asking people not to work hard. I get that people think that that's what the argument against crunch is. It's like, well, this is America and we want to work hard. We're just asking you to take responsibility for a hard work environment. And if you do that, that's the first hardest step, and it'll make the biggest difference in the long run. Totally. Yeah, stop talking about unlimited PTO and just let people take PTO, you know? Right. Or encourage them and maybe sometimes force them and help them figure out when they should be taking it. So that they don't feel like, oh, you're just saying that. No, we mean it, and here's how we're going to demonstrate that. Health is the only negative thing on my peer review was that Jess works outside of work hours too much. And she's got that shit out. Yeah. At the coffee shop, how I used to tell people to take their break was to just get the fuck out of my face. Yeah. And that feels so good. Absolutely. All right, let's see here. Let me get back to where I was. Assassin's Creed, Mario plus rabbids, and skull and bones to headlight headline ubisoft forward. It just happening in about four days. That is one hell of a showcase right there. This week's, yeah, go ahead.

"For audio listeners, her eyes bugged out of her head. So who has a handsome boy? Yeah, you know like when cartoon characters float when they smell pie. Right now. It's kind of unnerving. I flip when I see this guy. Wow. Incredible. And Jess. Yeah. He's Italian. Yeah, I know from the last name, but I don't know. Mamma Mia!. Oh, the Catholic agenda strikes again. Very traditionally to this man. Saint rose saw an 80% drop in sales compared to last week at false to number 6. The last was part one was the biggest launch out of the 5 as the industry's output ramps up into the run up to Christmas. Also debuting this week was Konami's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles that I now listen to came out funky. I can't help it. I used to say sunny instead of Sony and my friends got so mad at me if I had to learn. I had to learn. And then THQ Nordics destroy all humans to reprobate was at number 16 and then bandai namco's LEGO brawls was at number three 30. What? I see that game just came out on, let's see windows. This is the 2nd of September. I still have no idea what LEGO brawls actually for all. Is it just a platform fighter? It's a platform fighter that was on mobile before. Okay, that makes sense. That's why no one cares about it. Fair enough. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles plans for 2023 include a new triple-A game release. This comes from more young at game brand. The announcement, if it can be called that is found in the September issue of toy world in an official update from paramount, the owner of Nickelodeon and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles license, there are big plans for TM and T in 2023, those plants include a brand new triple-A video game to be released. It won't just be announced, it'll be a new announcement, but the new TMNT game is tentatively planned to launch next year. I mean, that's all they said about it. I'm kind of like, I feel if this is how they're announcing it, how big of a game can it be? Is it even going to be as big as that platinum game? Now, it probably should have a pretty big game. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles game, turtles games have been doing very well. The cowabunga collection being on number three on the UK box sales chart is really, really high for a collection of old games, many of which are sort of punishing and obtuse at this point. But the brand is that powerful right now. So yeah, it makes sense, but I don't know. Do you have any high hopes for this? I don't know what a triple-A TMNT game would look like. I feel like they did so well with the platinum joint that they should just do more of that, perhaps. I don't know, I guess I start thinking of something like the Arkham Asylum games and just adapting the turtles to that. There's the Gotham Knights game that's coming out and they're supposed to be four playable characters, right? So you could have four different turtles. Chat is saying, give it to and I'm gonna say it with a very American accent. Ryu gako studios. So it'll make it look like a Yakuza. There you go. Dude, yeah. A 7 had like that party that was very, you could make that the turtles, that would work. Yeah. And turn based on because no one would like that, but I would. I would like that. Also, there's a Seth Rogen turtles movie in production and it's like coming out next year. So maybe this is partially with that. I bet it is. That's probably the price high hopes for that. So they probably are going to try to tie something to it. I guess we'll find out more at some point between now and then. You know, I'm sorry. Sorry. I'm so sorry for constantly interrupting you, Jeff grubb. No, please, it's not a problem. I'm just trying to keep the flow going. I want to hear what you have to say. I agree with it. I feel like turn based combat would work best because turtles move slowly anyway. Oh, no, that was worth it. That was worth it. I'm glad you did it, Jim. Thank you. Thank you. And then they have to fight against the hair and the hair is not turn based. It can just attack, but it's like, it gets worn out or something. No, they're Friends with a rapper. They're Friends with a rabbit. That's a rabbit. No, yojimbo is their homie. Yeah, yeah, Jimbo was, yeah, what's this full name? Your Jimbo hair? Is it just you of Jimbo hair? Yo Jimbo, O'Brien, actually. It's a fun little coincidence. It's my uncle. Virtuous expands with opening a first to full service studio in North America. This is a small story, and I just wanted to bring it up because virtuous is one of the ones where we'll get to it. Virtuous has continued its global expansion with the opening of caliphate caliphate. A new code development studio in North America. I'm struggling, fellas. The work for hire company, which has worked on major franchises like Call of Duty and Assassin's Creed, said helped will be its first full service studio in North America, the nascent outfit will cover all aspects of game production, including art, design, and engineering. It's based in the Bay Area, so they can more easily work with other studios there, but it also has a flexible working environment. So if you want to work for there while working from home or anywhere else, I guess in the country or in the world I suppose, you can also do that. But they're going to have a core staff in the Bay Area that can go in like meet with these other studios. That's cool. Virtuous is the team that is rumored to be working on a make of Metal Gear Solid three, I believe. What? Interesting. Yeah. So, I mean, hey, gross, so you could do more of that so that can happen faster. I know they've worked on stuff like Call of Duty and Assassin's Creed, so but I'm not sure if they've liked just handled a full remake, like something like that before, but hey, I guess I'll be willing to see it. They should do more stuff with Metal Gear Solid, right? Oh, wholeheartedly, I would play through three all over again. And it's like, it is weird. It Silent Hill two, Metal Gear Solid three. They're gonna do remasters of one, two, and three again, just to put those back out because they've been delisted, but when they're going to remakes, it's like, oh, they're gonna remake three, and I guess it's 'cause they already did twin snakes on GameCube. I guess I don't fully understand the thinking. Which rules because it added more backflips. Yes, exactly why I put my swear button instead, but yeah, yeah, there we go.

"So we have red fall, the Red Bull and star field coming up for sure in the next 8 to 12 months or whatever. And then after that, we don't really necessarily know. There is Forza motor sport, for sure. That's probably coming though in the first half of next year. So then what's in the second half? And it's like, oh, that's probably what's that game, the one mental health where you're the place the lady that had this voice is in her head. I can't remember the name of it. So thank you. Help hellblade. Thank you. That will be one of them probably. And then I think after that fable might be next up, maybe something like perfect dark in 2024, like early 2024, but a couple of these games probably should be ready for later the later half of next year and fable could be one of them. Yeah. Oh, go ahead, no, please. Sorry. The last thing I want to bring up about that is do you see them trying to position halo infinite and once that call up campaign mode gets up and running and is something they could put out is that like another tent pole that they just make another big deal about again? I don't think so. I think they let I think they try to take the pressure off that team and say, hey, it's just going to be over here in its own little cone of sadness, mostly. And it's just like if you could build it back up, great, if not, we have other games coming and yeah, I think there's a strong chance that they do get some excitement back for halo in the future, but it seems pretty far off right now. Listen, I'm ready to play that game. I love that campaign. I don't really care that it turned into a linear halo game at the end. The open world was so much fun for me. And I think there's a lot of possibility for fun stuff with another person or three other people, shooting grappling hooks at 1800 pound soldiers. Like, that sounds like a good time to me. But it's not something they can hang their hats on as a big release for them when the competition is putting out game after the game of the year contender after game of the year contender. It's just, doesn't look good. Halo infinite is a better donkey Kong game because you can also throw barrels in this. That's right. Yes, absolutely. You're finally playing Master Chief is the real donkey Kong. There you go. You got it, jam. That's what's underneath the helmet. The last of us part one leads wave of new releases this comes from games industry is where they track the UK boxed chart sales. So these are the physical sales. The last of us part one was number one, but it sold around half the number of copies that same throw managed when it debuted number one last week. Now, that said, in this comes from GI biz, it's worth noting volitions reboot launched on a Tuesday while the last of us took place, at least on a more traditional Friday. And this is the only country for physical sales. And I believe the last of us part one is just PS5, right? So it's not even on PS4. And like, of course, that's where I was also on Xbox and so being a multi platform release definitely helped. But still, I think that part of this is just saint throw a new game the last of us part one, a known quantity, so maybe the urgency isn't quite as much isn't there as much for a part one. Still though, number one on the charts. Followed by horizon forbidden west at number two, which I wonder if that includes the pen, because I know the horizontal Midwest is packed in with a lot of consoles, but I don't know if it counts that. I'm assuming. It jumps up the charts because of Jess's hot takeouts. Everyone needed to go see for themselves. Yeah, that's in the end. That's a good point. Yeah. You're welcome, Sony. You gotta pay to see for yourself, absolutely. We should get a cut of that, I think. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, the cowabunga collection at number three, and then F one manager 2022 at number four, and either you have any interest in a sports management sim game. The idea of it appeals to me, but I think it would take so much of my time to even know if I even like it. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know, I feel like fantasy football is the extent of any type of sports sim that I get into. So I think my giraffe is today. Oh boy. We'll see. Get ready to have your mood determined by a random grouping of dudes that you've put together for the next four months. It's no different than when I get sad that a sports team lost because that's a random group of dudes that someone else put together. It's even more irrational. Why do I care? Jane, why do I care? I don't know. I don't know. I'm stuck with a quarterback that's handsome, but useless. Name names. Jimmy Garoppolo is the most. He's the most himbo person in the world. Jimmy. Garoppolo. Garoppolo.

"Next big thing coming out, but it also doesn't seem like the only thing that's happening, at least as far as some of the weeks have said VGC and I trust the reporting, it goes along with some of the stuff I've heard that there's multiple games in the works and this is the start of a big blowout for Silent Hill coming back and it could involve TV shows and movies, but it definitely involves multiple game projects, including this remake, but also a Silent Hill 5. Silent Hill 5 not necessarily going to be a blooper team. Does that help? Or at this point it's like, you still want to get your hopes up with them. I mean, I'm not going to lie, blueberry team in charge of the remake of Silent Hill two is the worst case scenario for who to handle a Silent Hill two remake because they're going to change stuff, of course. You kind of have to kind of modernize when you do a whole ground up remake like this and it's not just a remaster. But blueberry team has very strange and somewhat cruel takes on mental health that has been present in a few of their games. Especially the medium has a rather disgusting kind of final take on mental health, which is if someone's too far gone there, better off dead. Oh. And it's bad. I mean, there is something to be said about different cultures, standards for an opinions and takes on mental health, different countries handle mental health differently and have different cultural opinions of that stuff. But fucking yeesh, man, I don't want Silent Hill two, which was so empathetic and, you know, non exploitative of mental health and trauma and grief to be handled by bloober team who also had a segment in the medium where a pedophile was humanized. You go back in time. In his memory, and it's like, look, here's the reason why he's a fucked up guy. His dad was a drunk, and he was, oh my God, the Holocaust is involved. It's a mess and a half. And it's like I don't want them anywhere near this guy. Heard of a certain app called better help. Listeners to the giant bomb casket. Let's say and I know this isn't realistic because Konami doesn't necessarily feel like the strong leadership type right now. But let's say that they had a firm hand above them saying you can change mechanics. You can change lighting, you can make things look more dramatic and you can amp certain elements up, but you can not change the fundamental lore or content of the game. Would that help in your anticipation of this game? It would help. Absolutely. But it's like, I don't see them doing that. And I don't think Konami knows what made Silent Hill two good. Oh, definitely. You know, revolutionary in any way. There was a leaked pitch document that these were on, but I believe that was the document was fake, but the screenshots were real or something like that. But it was very, I don't know, really kind of slapdash looking, and it part of the pitch was that there was going to be new puzzles that tie into the game's themes. Don't, please don't. As if the hangman puzzle was not good enough. And two whole new endings never before seen. So yeah, okay. Don't please don't. I hope that's not real. It seems unnecessary and potentially a pitfall for them to fall into. We will probably start hearing about these things here pretty soon. You think Tokyo game show, perhaps? It seems like it could happen even before on its own. And maybe we hear more Tokyo game show, but that's the word going around and that's been stated publicly by one person, which is why I'm repeating it, but I've also heard that same thing privately. Now I don't think that's necessarily from like, that means there's two sources. I could be getting it from a similar angle, so but yeah, I think we might be hearing about it soon. We'll see. I can't confirm that, but we'll see. Can I pose a question here real quick before we move on? Let's do it. What if one of those Silent Hill games is just PT? Never happened. Yeah, if I should do it though. Realistically it could never happen, correct? Unless they fix that bridge with kojima because kojima is like starting a podcast soon. He's not going to have the time. Yeah. Yeah, I feel like best case scenario since this is the worst case scenario for Silent Hill two, probably unless you gave it to somebody really weird to develop it. I would love my dream developer for a Silent Hill game probably frictional. Frictional, what if they amnesia? Oh. Right. Okay. And I really, I really, really, really liked amnesia rebirth. That was a really, really good game. The horror was great. The characters were great. The themes were great. It was cool as hell. So I would trust them. As someone that's only played two Silent Hill games so far, I think they should give it, you know, dream fantasy here. Give it to the studio that makes a plague tale. And just give me all the rats. So both studio, yeah. But just make them not rats and just dull freaky flight simulator. So a flight simulator sound hill game. Yeah, let's do it. Silent Hill on a plane. Do it. All the time. I'm seeing these motherfucking nurses on this motherfucking clay. I think that they are clearly looking to the success of Resident Evil and the reboots and the remakes over there and they're like, we need to be doing the same thing. And silent little fans are looking with jealousy in our hearts at all Resident Evil fans. Why can't that be honest? And it could work, right? Good work and if that does work with something like a sound hill tour where you make which obviously a lot of problems with that project for it to overcome. But if it does work and they find themselves with a rejuvenated Silent Hill franchise, I think then the obvious thing is then to copy the modern resident evils as well with the first person that thing that copied PT and go back and do it yourself and have these two things where you're remaking old silent hills and you're releasing new first person silent hills. I mean, hopefully they get to that point for your sake. I hope it's all great. We'll find out. We'll begin playing now. Hopefully very soon. And it probably will be. I'm crossing my fingers for you, Jess, and your people. Please end my pain. All right, let's get through some of these other news stories and we'll wrap back around to that other thing we were going to talk about. Microsoft will keep Call of Duty on PlayStation for several more years beyond existing deals. This seemed to be, this was a letter that Phil Spencer, who was the CEO of Microsoft gaming, confirmed the verge existed that he wrote in January, where he told Jim Ryan, hey, we're not just going to honor the deal that we already have. We are going to promise to keep Call of Duty on PlayStation for years after that. Now, he's not saying in perpetuity because that's a really tough thing to say. You're not going to be like in the year. 2089, we are promising to put Call of Duty on PlayStation because what does that look like? And what if someone tries to hold them to that? But he's saying for the foreseeable future, we are not going to disrupt Call of Duty on PlayStation as it's been known and it seems like this reveal that the letter existed was well timed to go alongside what we talked about last week and maybe a game best morning about the FTC equivalent in the UK that said they are going to ramp up their investigation of this deal. And said, hey, we have concerns about competition.

"I probably could just go to the end of elden ring right now. That's fine though. You played that much, you're fine. You understand it. But you don't have to finish it. I forgot, I got a rusty, I gotta relearn and get my go back out like you'd have to go back out in the world and write exactly. I gotta go. Asses of some mid bosses or something so I can have a hell of a snowball's chance in hell of beaten. However, I'll tell you what, you going back and beating that game at that position right now will have almost zero chance of affecting your opinion on it. Maybe if you were to start it over again in a couple of years and play it from scratch, maybe that could change your opinion. I don't know, but whatever you feel about it now is probably what you're going to feel about it, even if you were to finish it, 'cause the game is about that journey to where you're at where you're at right now. I loved it. I absolutely loved it. I just got like super, super, super distracted. This happens to me a lot where I'm playing a game I do like a lot, and then it's just like, well, oops, I forgot to finish it. No, it's very, very busy times across the board here for everyone. Things are cooking. I would like to just focus down and finish xenoblade chronicles three, but there's too many things popping off. I also just keep on starting new games and then not finishing those two. Yeah, I feel really bad for live alive. I don't know if I'm gonna get back to it. And I really want to. But I think I may just have to set aside a weekend and just focus down and get into that. I mean, that's kind of thing where it's like you've dedicated a stream like a marathon stream to maybe extra life or something like that. I don't know if you already have another game in mind for that, but that's what Patrick soon over waypoint. He's like, he same thing happened to him. He fell off it because he had other things happening. And he was like, oh man, you know, he was looking forward to it. So he's I'm going to do this over a couple of marathon streams, just play it for hours and hours at a time. I think Vinny did something similar over at next lander. And they both have been like, oh, yeah, we fell right back into info in love with it. So you know though what I find to be interesting is when I did fire it up on the steam deck, I was anticipating that I wouldn't have as much muscle memory loss because of playing sekiro. It's so weird because I am. I think I've gotten pretty okay at sekiro. Through the short course of time of playing it, elden ring for some reason, despite almost feeling the same, I am just starting at ground zero all over again. It's not close enough. I mean, and also the fact that eldering has leveling, so it invites you to doubt. Yeah. Is your character strong enough to even be doing the thing you're trying to do. And that doubt can eat away at the confidence to take on any battle in that game. It's fine. It works because you're supposed to go out there and level. You're supposed to go out and explore the world, but yeah, it's not the same as sekiro. So that brings us folks to the game of the week. Which is not a game at all. Well, I guess it's focusing on a game, but Jessica, you have been putting insane amounts of hours in time and editing, I love looking at Jess timelines because there's so much more well organized than mine. I think I shared a premier project with you once, and then you got upset with me. That it was so disorganized. And nothing was labeled. No color coding. I was like, how do you know what's here? Jess, I know that one is that layer because it's on that track. But Jess, you put out a hot takeout yesterday and I wanted to have you on the bomb cast a look. Let's talk about it. I thought it was very well done, but that's like everything. You put out so. Not blowing smoke up your butt. But yeah. Horizon is ugly, and here's why. People have been accusing me of making that a clickbait title, but I honestly did not intend to do that. I was just like, oh, I like H bomber guys videos so much. And I think his naming convention is a strong title. Yeah. I think his naming convention is funny. Yes. And I never take his titles too hard 'cause like I know it's like a joke to be that hyperbolic about something. We as garbage, and here's why. And I want to hear about it. It's definitely not, it's definitely not clickbait. People just forget what clickbait is supposed to be. But yeah. Clickbait is like you're lying about something that's going to be in the thing, and it's like, no, I talk about how I even give people the obscuring what you're going to put in there. Like you don't fully explain it. Sure, whatever you can call that clickbait. But it's doing the thing that you're going to do in the video as the headline. That's fine. Also, if it is clickbait, I don't care as just as manager. Get that engagement, girl. Hell yeah. And yeah, I'm pleased to report it. It is getting engagement. I don't believe it. It's the first actually spicy take of mine, the other ones were pretty, pretty lukewarm, pretty like, here's something I like. Sure. I think you should like too. And maybe people have kind of not thought of it this way before, but this is how I think of it. Like the Mario brother, the Mario Brothers movie should just be canon, fuck it. Not only do I like it, I think it should just be canon. That's a hot take, but it's positive. That's a weird opinion, but it's not gonna make people fight in the comments. But saying horizon is ugly. I knew this was a spicy opinion. 'cause it goes against the kind of accepted reality of a lot of people that this is kind of almost objectively very pretty. It's concept art the game. It's what games should look like. Allegedly. This is where all of games should be headed. And this is what all of them should look like, right? Trying to get some type of homogenized smooth too many callers looking dealing. You know, could do this they would kind of thing. Yeah, and it's like, would they though? Or are they being clever about art direction and favoring that and playability over graphical fidelity?

"Love that. I love this. I love this move. But before we get to what is game of the week this week, grub Jess y'all playing anything else, revisiting anything else? I got the retroid pocket three. I think I talked about it somewhere. I can't remember now, but it is like a little switch lite. It's a little bit smaller than a switch lite. I've been messing around with it since last week. I put a lot more stuff on. I've been pretty happy with it. The issue in a post steam deck world with these little Chinese handhelds, which I love. I have a lot of them. I really do like these things. I think the retroid pocket three is fine for what it is. They had some drama coming out of it. I'm not like, I'm not gonna go over that all the matters is. It's pretty solid for what it is. In a post theme deck world, it is a little bit frustrating to have this community dedicated to making the steam deck as awesome as it possibly can be at the touch of a button and then to get another one of these things and be like, oh no, I gotta set this all up myself. And there was a time when tinkering with setting things up was part of the fun for me. I think that's like one of the joys of animal crossing. It's a game where you set stuff up. It's not about interacting with anything. It's about a game about setting stuff up and there's such a pleasure in that and a lot of people enjoy that with getting the roms all put in place and having every emulator set up exactly how they want and make sure the controls are ready to go. So if they ever get the urge, you know, a lot of times you don't. And that's fine, because the pleasure is in setting it up. I'm over that. I want everything just to work, and to be right there, ready to go. And maybe there's a way to do that with the retroid pocket three. I haven't been able to find it. And maybe I'm sure there's a community, it's just not as robust as the steam deck community. So it makes these little things a little bit harder to be like, okay, yeah, there are more affordable, but I have a steam deck, maybe I should just be sticking with that instead. So that's where I'm at with that. Yeah, this is one of those devices that I thought about picking up before my steam deck reservation got moved up, but speaking about the steam deck, I've been having an itch because of sekiro showa. That I revisited elden ring on the steam deck. I really thought about starting fresh from the very beginning just 'cause it's been like a hot minute. But man, I was really high on elden ring at the beginning of the year, like everyone else, but after playing sekiro, it's very, very hard to go back to elden ring where a lot of the bones, the 12 foot skeletons are the same, right? Yes. There's just a couple of body parts that move differently. Like getting used to there being fall damage now. And then having to worry about stamina and I just wonder if from software did some type of revamp to sekiro or just did sekiro two, I wonder how that would be received amongst the general gaming audience because of how well elden ring has sold. Yeah, I mean, elder ring the appeal there is they put you in a world and they let you go. And there's something so universally appealing about that like just they show you a big glowy thing over there. You're over here if there's a ton of cool stuff in between and not just in between, but in every direction, that's very easy to understand and obviously it clicked and it worked very well for them and it's one of the key reasons why this game is so successful. Sekou is not that game, Seth crow is about the fights and the mechanics and getting in and out of combat when you need to and sneak it around when you need to. And that game has its place, but maybe we're wrong. But maybe the secret two comes out and it's just a huge success as elder ring Mike gut here, which would be like, no, the reason so many games have gone open worlds because that is the mass appealing genre and it works well in ring just like it's worked for a lot of other games. And so I think that I expect them to do something like a sekiro two or something along those lines here again. I don't expect it to be quite really in anywhere near as successful as eldering. And that's okay. Hopefully that's okay. Right. I don't know. I want to see George railroad Barton's take on a samurai story. I'll let him do that. Hell yeah. Railroad. Is that what we need? Yeah, I don't know. Let's throw him in. Let's see what he can do with it. Let's do it, yeah. Maybe they can get the other Jeff grub that got a job at whatever it was and he max online. He's written a bunch of D&D stuff, get him to do a one instead so that people can bother me about that now. But yeah, I forget. Did you beat elden ring or do you like on the precipice? So Chrono Trigger and elden ring, I fell off of and got distracted by other things at the end. Like I only had two hours left of Chrono Trigger.

"Games, not a lot or it's still kind of a dry time, isn't it, folks? Not too much popping off. I'm excited about splatoon three later this week. Me too. Yeah, me too. I think some people would say, but Jan, the last of us part one just came out, and I'm not playing that. I don't know if either of you two are. You know, I fired it up. And I think the quick look that we put up with you and Dan brilliant in showing off the game. Yeah. It's the last of us, it's the first last of us. I feel like I throw it through that three, four years ago, it just looks better, Joel looks much older, I honestly don't know what else to talk about with that game other than like, all right, it looks gorier and more violent now. I guess I thought they were I honestly thought when they had announced the last of us part one that they would re skin Joel to look more like Pedro pascual to I'm just gonna ask is he a little more Pedro E? No, he's much more old, older Joel. He looks, he kind of looks older than he does and last of us part two? In certain bits, but yeah, I haven't been I haven't been playing it because it's the same, almost the same game. We wanted to play we wanted to play the other equivalent Disney dream like valley, the last of us of Disney games, but that is out today. We weren't able to get early code. So it's like, oh, I know a lot of us were interested in just seeing what the hell that thing even is. So it's like, yeah, games are coming out that we at least are curious about or whether we are aware or big. But just like they're kind of missing us here or there for various reasons. So yeah, kind of how it goes sometimes. Yeah. But a game that I have been checking out on the side here is ooblets. Ooblets now out on the Nintendo Switch. It's been out before, I believe it's been on epic and I believe it was also on game pass previously. Abby and I did what I believe was an unfinished or a quick look. A year or two years ago? If you don't know what this is, is kind of a very cute quirky looking Pokémon like where you were collecting all these different ooblets or these monsters in addition you are also it is kind of like a stardew valley or a harvest moon style game where you have your own little hub area where you are crafting your house, your farming, you're using your ooblets to not only watch over your farm and they all look super cute, they all look a little funky. So you have the Uber list watch over your farm, you adventure with some of your ooblets, it runs perfectly fine on the switch. It's not normally my style of game stardew valley or farming type of sim. Despite really being into Pokémon and managing those little creeps. I thought you'd vibe with that kind of management D I think that just sort of game. I don't know. I think it's too chill for me. It's too calm. But there's something about just, I think, the overall vibe of everything. And also the best part about ooblets is that you do have, you do kind of have Pokémon style equivalent battles, but they're dance battles. Right. That's so great. So you have to get into this game. Jess, I think you'd really like it actually. I really do think it's checking off a lot of boxes for me and I just, I've been my head was too deep into editing that video and I forgot all about video games. We'll get you out of the editing minds soon. Video games, huh? Wow. But yeah, it's a really, really chill fun time. If you're looking for something that's, I don't want to say a little bit more involved than stardew, but if you were tired or something like stardew, if you've reached peak saturation with that, definitely give out give uble, let's say, try, I believe it's already out everywhere else. It just came to the switch fairly recently. You know what else is on the switch, Jeff grubb? Jeff. This is what we do. This is where you ask the question, what is on the switch? What is on the switch? 0.3. Nailed it. I don't know how they do this. I don't want to because I feel like I'm going to spoil too much in this game, but I have reached our 20 something now. And I don't understand how this game continually keeps getting better. Normally by this time, in a game at 25 hours, you'd expect to be done, you'd expect to stop learning things. Sure. Yeah. You'd expect to fall into a gameplay loop where it's like, all right, cool. I guess I'll just do another run or whatever. But they're somehow is so much in this that the only thing stopping me from playing this is other responsibilities in Fortnite. So other responsibilities. Other responsibilities. You know, I don't want to talk too much about this game, 'cause I could honestly talk for the rest of the podcast about it. But if you if you have liked any type of ensemble game in the past, no matter the genre, if you've liked something like mass effect or even other games with a big party that you're managing folks in, you need

"Everybody to the giant bombcast episode 754. We have assembled the only grouping of three people that makes sense to dethroned Kenny Omega and the Young Bucks. That's right, Jess O'Brien, who knows nothing about wrestling. We're gonna take them down. Right, Jess. Yeah. I presume we are, or at least I can provide them with distracting muffins. There we go. Muffins are nothing but distracting. Scrub is frozen. Probably intimidated by these muffins. Well, this is where I would intro and say co captain of the ship is Jeff grubb, but he looks like he is frozen. Yeah, it looks like his computer died. I'll be right back. He'll join us very shortly. Best wishes to Jeff grubb's computer. That's right, so busy week, you know, we had a three day weekend, so we thought, why not have a three person podcast today, right? Sure. That was the line of thinking, right Jessica. Definitely was exactly what happened there. Yes. Well, you know what? Let's just keep going even though I guess so yeah. It's going to have to eventually join. This is going to be fun to stitch together afterwards. Jess, we had a three day weekend. Yeah. What did you do? You get some relaxation in, you rest at all? I didn't work. I do have a manager that is very anti me working on the weekends as he should be. That's responsible in good management right there. However, hot takeouts was due on Monday. So, Jeff grubb, he's back. Hello. I'm here for him. I think it's going to work this time. If I go away again, I'll go to my other computer and we'll do it from there. That was just the perfect timing. I was very happy with the way that worked out. Whoo. I thought you were just appreciating the music as it swept over you. Is what happened? I could tell I was frozen there before I got right back on. How long before you guys noticed that I was frozen? I think as soon as faded in from the intro video and then noticed you weren't doing your normal jamming to the music as well. Cool. Yeah. Well, you missed the intro, but this probably means the person infecting our computers is Kenny Omega and the Young Bucks. You know, they're scared. It's the only explanation that the three of us are going to come for those titles. Jesse's already getting prepped by eating muffins during a podcast or like a media scrum of sorts. Is it closed on Mondays and Tuesdays? It probably is. She's not going to get me started. You just keep eating your muffins. We're going to keep making wrestling references. That's what a giant bomb cast is. That's how it works. This is great. Stuff for me. Exactly. Jess, have you ever been someone? Have you ever in a fight? What? Yes. Have you ever bit someone in a fight? Answer the question, Jess. What? Right, okay. All right, have you ever thrown a chair at someone? What? After being confronted about perhaps toxic workplace behavior. What? No. Okay, all right. All right. You would love that. It's on improv. Yes, a little. Not really, not officially. What about with a man? Scott Colton. No. Okay. All right. So you're not friends with Scott colt. Okay, all right. All right. Do you share a bank account with your mother? No. Okay, all right. Have you or are you? These things are hilarious to Communist Party. I don't have to answer that at work. I don't have to answer that. Yeah, that's not currently a wrestling thing. I get it now. No, at least not yet. At least not right now. Video games. Oh yeah, we could just have Tony Khan like a GIF of Tony Khan as our fourth on this week. And he's just like making a face like, oh God, okay. Yeah, actually, I'm going to work on that. As soon as we do stuff, but grab we had a three day weekend. You get down on any fun stuff with a fam or whatever? I cleared out my closet back there of all of the Halloween stuff. So it's like ready to go. And we were just, we hesitated on pulling the trigger on actually putting it up. But now it's like much better organized. So when we already, it's like I could just get it all out, get ready to go. So now my closet, it's pretty organized and get to all my extra USB cables, I guess, now pretty easily. But yeah, that's pretty much what I did over the weekend was lay around and watch wrestling and then clear out one of my closets. So a typical American Labor Day weekend. What's the most halloweeny fun thing you have in that closet? We have a whole bunch of pumpkin plastic pumpkins that also involve cats in some way because I have two little girls. And I like cats too, but also like so we did have to get those out because they remember them like they're 5 and three, but they still remember every little thing that has a cat on it. So last night, my 5 year old did sleep with a plastic light up pumpkin that has a cat Pokémon with a little pumpkin cap thing on his head and I'm like, oh my God, okay. Very cute. And then there's the giant inflatable one of those constantly inflating things that has the little motor in it. Giant pumpkin, one of those. That's probably the family favorite right there. We call them mister pumpkin and he's number one in our hearts. I respect him. I want to get the 12 foot skeleton. I'm mad Petro klep got the 12th with skeleton. I should have the 12 foot skeleton. I don't think you can get it anymore. I think it's all gone. We ran out of bones. I think they come and go. There's only so many 12 foot skeleton bones. I mean, those are like, those are real skeletons, right? That's just like a time gone by. That's Bigfoot, right? That's what we're doing. Ben pax skeleton. Skeleton, there we go. That's the mold. Ben's how I put the style of wood find out. Ben packs sheds his skeleton on a biannual basis. It's not comfortable procedure. Yes. Every year, it's a baby skeleton in there. Ito story. The conversation with the children yet about skeletons and how they're inside everyone. Yeah, yes, I absolutely have because they're bigger. Conversation. This is the conversation. I immediately scared as a child when I found out. I was like, why is there a skeleton in me? If I get electrocuted, will I see the skeleton? I don't think I needed the talk about that. Birds the beast and the skeleton inside of me. That's the title of this one. You got it. That early we are on a roll here. Yeah, my kids love skeletons we call them mister bones or misty bones. Whenever we see a skeleton, that's also right up there with mister pumpkin. Especially the young ones, she's got a T-shirt that is like a skeleton thing, and she wears it all the time. She thinks she's so cool. And she is hella cool. Have you shown them the video game yet, mister bones? It's a pretty bad video game. Sorry to the guy who makes it who made echo that's often. But it's a pretty bad video game.

"Have Anything has mario brothers stuff like that. They always found a way to put together their love of the outside stuff with bristling so much so that it extended even beyond that to now it's also a recognition of black excellent and black aqa accomplishments where One of the One one gear was inspired by bosca the famous artists graffiti artists. Are you also get Recently their gear was inspired by the fuji's score album which is celebrating a twenty fifth anniversary. So it just became even larger than just wrestling. Xavier woods made that transition to make not only his love for wrestling but his love of other aspects of his life more recognizable with the fan base. Like i said. I found it fascinating because people don't understand especially w we don't understand how much the world connects with pop coach of these days and Searching www day like stuck in a pass there you seen who they're draw for like wrestlemanias show or theme music music. That's been two or three years outdated and ship but you know you see what xavier woods and guys especially woods. They still entwined the history of wrestling in their personas and gimmicks as well this past couple of weeks we saw them basically showing love to the outsiders scott hall and kevin nash with their random blantyre. It's always something when it comes to xavier woods. When they even even his hairstyles. He you know the press or Away braided or how he parts it in a certain way or a he always has something going on where it stands out and i find that being creative and wrestling is what keeps you as a performer successful and resting i. It's one thing to be stagnant and just stay stuck in in one way and be comfortable with but it's another way to open up and be creative and expand your audience and expand your your reach the individual who also wanna get his book a world world records for a though celebrity video gamer who had the most subscribers and stuff so it's you get accolades accolades with this with this young man. And we've we've we're hearing stories not even but we. We hear that he assumed the apart of g for a a Video gaming network at one time which is making his comeback and he'll be a part of that as well the the the opportunities and the goals of this man is is. It's cliche to say but it's limitless when you have so much going on and you have so much reach and you have something to fall back on when the time has come when you feel as though you don't wanna do certain things anymore and it's not even that a falling back. I i hate to use the terminology but because to wear. It's you know other avenues to do what you don't have to sit there and break your ass taking bumps anymore in the ring now. It's i can sit down and play a video game with million people or i can go into a classroom and educate the youth. It's inspiring because that is what becoming not only a wrestler but also becoming a man is what it's all about and sometimes you have to take the opportunity that's there for you especially if you are giving it or you earned it and make the best of it so i said This is this is a segment. That i think i should do a little bit more..
