RP2-Continue Ep 2: Here To Shoot Things and Influence People

1
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:03,833
(Music)

2
01:00:15,699 --> 01:00:16,866
Okay, that's gonna stay in.

3
01:00:17,866 --> 01:00:18,500
(Laughing) Hello everybody.

4
01:00:19,233 --> 01:00:20,866
Welcome to RP2.

5
01:00:21,333 --> 01:00:21,766
Continue.

6
01:00:22,333 --> 01:00:25,033
Now, Rich thought it was gonna be RP2 continue,

7
01:00:25,666 --> 01:00:27,099
but that sounds like, you

8
01:00:27,099 --> 01:00:28,166
know, you're talking like a twat.

9
01:00:29,233 --> 01:00:31,099
So we're gonna call it RP2

10
01:00:31,099 --> 01:00:33,533
continue as in, is that Tekken?

11
01:00:33,833 --> 01:00:34,733
It's Tekken, isn't it?

12
01:00:35,099 --> 01:00:35,300
Continue.

13
01:00:35,566 --> 01:00:35,766
Continue.

14
01:00:36,233 --> 01:00:37,766
I that's on brand.

15
01:00:38,266 --> 01:00:39,933
So Rich isn't here today because we've sacked

16
01:00:39,933 --> 01:00:42,099
him or eaten him or something like that, but

17
01:00:42,099 --> 01:00:43,333
we're gonna take the reins.

18
01:00:43,333 --> 01:00:45,666
We're gonna give this podcast in Larka go.

19
01:00:45,666 --> 01:00:46,699
We've all done this before.

20
01:00:46,699 --> 01:00:47,733
We've done this for years.

21
01:00:48,166 --> 01:00:49,199
Well, we haven't done it for

22
01:00:49,199 --> 01:00:50,933
years, but we used to do it for years.

23
01:00:51,366 --> 01:00:52,833
And now we're gonna do it for some more years.

24
01:00:52,833 --> 01:00:54,466
There's been a break, but we're back.

25
01:00:55,133 --> 01:00:56,633
So hello, I'm Lee.

26
01:00:57,233 --> 01:00:59,000
And over there is Ross.

27
01:00:59,466 --> 01:00:59,933
Hello, Ross.

28
01:01:01,066 --> 01:01:03,366
Hello, I'm in full mode today.

29
01:01:03,366 --> 01:01:04,599
Look, I can move without juttering.

30
01:01:04,966 --> 01:01:06,599
I can talk and everyone can see me properly.

31
01:01:07,566 --> 01:01:10,300
Ross has upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows

32
01:01:10,300 --> 01:01:13,566
Vista and he has now got some frame rate.

33
01:01:14,466 --> 01:01:15,566
(Laughing) So we can actually see

34
01:01:15,566 --> 01:01:16,733
what he looks like in real life.

35
01:01:16,733 --> 01:01:19,266
He doesn't look like a series of oil paintings.

36
01:01:20,066 --> 01:01:20,733
Terrifying, yeah.

37
01:01:20,866 --> 01:01:21,466
That's the old one.

38
01:01:22,733 --> 01:01:25,133
Speaking of oil paintings, we have Elle.

39
01:01:25,466 --> 01:01:26,699
Thanks, hi.

40
01:01:27,800 --> 01:01:30,466
Elle's surrounded by Murloc as well.

41
01:01:32,066 --> 01:01:33,699
Is this the one from EGX?

42
01:01:34,366 --> 01:01:35,099
It is, yeah.

43
01:01:36,000 --> 01:01:36,433
Oh, no.

44
01:01:36,933 --> 01:01:39,933
Oh, we went to-- Was that 2015?

45
01:01:41,933 --> 01:01:44,066
Oh, yeah, it was a hot day ago.

46
01:01:44,900 --> 01:01:45,900
I saw the picture on my Instagram

47
01:01:45,900 --> 01:01:47,233
this week and we all look so young.

48
01:01:48,300 --> 01:01:48,966
Oh, don't.

49
01:01:49,933 --> 01:01:51,300
What happens in years, everyone?

50
01:01:52,166 --> 01:01:52,800
You four.

51
01:01:53,166 --> 01:01:54,000
So this is gonna be a bit

52
01:01:54,000 --> 01:01:55,699
different to what we normally do.

53
01:01:56,566 --> 01:01:59,433
As in normally we have just done an episode

54
01:01:59,433 --> 01:02:02,533
once and that's apparently normal.

55
01:02:02,800 --> 01:02:05,199
But this week, we're gonna do

56
01:02:05,199 --> 01:02:06,566
something a bit different in that.

57
01:02:06,566 --> 01:02:08,400
We're just gonna have a bit of a chat and find

58
01:02:08,400 --> 01:02:11,933
out, I don't know, what we have been doing and

59
01:02:11,933 --> 01:02:12,699
what we've been playing.

60
01:02:13,366 --> 01:02:15,166
I'm gonna go first because

61
01:02:15,166 --> 01:02:18,300
what I've been playing is nothing.

62
01:02:19,333 --> 01:02:20,966
So mine's gonna be a little bit shorter and

63
01:02:20,966 --> 01:02:22,066
sweeter and I'm gonna kind of

64
01:02:22,066 --> 01:02:24,233
lean on you two for a bit of filler.

65
01:02:24,866 --> 01:02:26,400
But I have got a couple of things I wanna show.

66
01:02:27,000 --> 01:02:29,800
I've got, I wanted to know what your thoughts

67
01:02:29,800 --> 01:02:31,666
were on things like this.

68
01:02:32,766 --> 01:02:34,333
I'm holding up for podcast listeners.

69
01:02:34,599 --> 01:02:36,900
This is a Turbo Everdrive.

70
01:02:37,233 --> 01:02:37,900
I'm gonna hold it close to

71
01:02:37,900 --> 01:02:38,966
my eyes so it's in focus.

72
01:02:39,733 --> 01:02:40,233
Focus to your nose.

73
01:02:41,199 --> 01:02:43,133
This is for a PC Engine.

74
01:02:43,133 --> 01:02:45,333
It's an SD card loader for a PC Engine.

75
01:02:45,699 --> 01:02:46,333
I've got another one

76
01:02:46,333 --> 01:02:47,566
here that I bought recently.

77
01:02:47,866 --> 01:02:52,566
This one is for, again, with the eyes.

78
01:02:53,733 --> 01:02:55,333
This is for a Nintendo DS.

79
01:02:56,933 --> 01:02:57,933
A game loader for a DS.

80
01:02:58,433 --> 01:03:01,633
So do you, I have any, well,

81
01:03:02,099 --> 01:03:03,099
let's start at the beginning.

82
01:03:03,366 --> 01:03:05,099
What systems would you

83
01:03:05,099 --> 01:03:07,199
consider retro that you own right now?

84
01:03:08,300 --> 01:03:08,766
L first.

85
01:03:09,733 --> 01:03:10,400
Oh my goodness.

86
01:03:11,133 --> 01:03:12,066
In my attic.

87
01:03:14,033 --> 01:03:15,166
I guess you, can we

88
01:03:15,166 --> 01:03:17,433
consider a PlayStation retro now?

89
01:03:17,966 --> 01:03:18,733
Yes, definitely.

90
01:03:19,666 --> 01:03:24,433
An original Nintendo Game Boy.

91
01:03:25,400 --> 01:03:25,800
Oh yeah.

92
01:03:26,400 --> 01:03:26,633
The original.

93
01:03:27,199 --> 01:03:27,400
Yeah.

94
01:03:28,233 --> 01:03:29,133
Did you get the batteries out?

95
01:03:31,500 --> 01:03:33,733
Well, yeah, because they were like

96
01:03:33,733 --> 01:03:37,199
proper huge, like AA in the backs.

97
01:03:37,500 --> 01:03:37,800
Yeah.

98
01:03:38,733 --> 01:03:41,599
But the adventures who went on, man, so many

99
01:03:41,599 --> 01:03:44,233
road trips, as they say,

100
01:03:45,166 --> 01:03:46,733
in the back of the car.

101
01:03:46,733 --> 01:03:47,766
I get carsick.

102
01:03:48,699 --> 01:03:49,433
Do not care.

103
01:03:49,433 --> 01:03:50,933
I suffered to play Pokemon.

104
01:03:52,133 --> 01:03:56,000
The grip that had on kids in the 90s.

105
01:03:57,099 --> 01:04:01,433
There were so many good handheld gaming

106
01:04:01,433 --> 01:04:03,599
consoles, obviously back then.

107
01:04:04,733 --> 01:04:08,566
Retro, I fear that the majority of my early

108
01:04:08,566 --> 01:04:10,433
gaming years were on a PC.

109
01:04:11,866 --> 01:04:13,500
So there is that.

110
01:04:14,199 --> 01:04:16,900
I didn't get into consoles until a little bit

111
01:04:16,900 --> 01:04:19,900
later, obviously Game Boy and PlayStation,

112
01:04:20,900 --> 01:04:24,533
Xbox, and then iteratively through those.

113
01:04:25,300 --> 01:04:27,133
I did get a Nintendo Wii.

114
01:04:27,900 --> 01:04:29,900
I don't know whether we also consider that

115
01:04:29,900 --> 01:04:32,199
retro, but it does have some classics on it.

116
01:04:32,866 --> 01:04:34,199
Straddling the line, I think.

117
01:04:35,566 --> 01:04:40,000
I fear that technology goes too quickly these

118
01:04:40,000 --> 01:04:44,699
days, but I think my first proper, proper,

119
01:04:44,699 --> 01:04:47,666
proper game was Metcoureas 3 on

120
01:04:47,666 --> 01:04:51,300
the PC, other than Final Fantasy 7.

121
01:04:51,766 --> 01:04:53,900
Not quite sure which one came out first, but

122
01:04:53,900 --> 01:04:55,966
those ones are the two biggies.

123
01:04:56,633 --> 01:04:58,000
So wind back to your Game Boy.

124
01:04:59,766 --> 01:05:01,366
Did you customize it?

125
01:05:01,400 --> 01:05:02,900
Was this, or is it

126
01:05:02,900 --> 01:05:05,666
stopped in pristine condition?

127
01:05:07,466 --> 01:05:10,633
God, no, I was a kid, dragging that around,

128
01:05:10,966 --> 01:05:13,800
scraping it off things, dropping it.

129
01:05:14,333 --> 01:05:15,300
No, that's not in pristine

130
01:05:15,300 --> 01:05:16,566
condition, absolutely not.

131
01:05:17,500 --> 01:05:18,566
Now you can reshell them now.

132
01:05:18,833 --> 01:05:21,133
So would you consider playing something like

133
01:05:21,133 --> 01:05:23,900
that again and getting a multi-cartridge that

134
01:05:23,900 --> 01:05:25,500
you could plug into that and

135
01:05:25,500 --> 01:05:27,000
play your old favorites again?

136
01:05:28,400 --> 01:05:32,166
Don't tell Nintendo, but there

137
01:05:32,166 --> 01:05:35,933
are people who have made emulators.

138
01:05:37,800 --> 01:05:38,500
Yeah, but the original

139
01:05:38,500 --> 01:05:40,699
hardware, the real things.

140
01:05:40,699 --> 01:05:41,500
I know, there's something

141
01:05:41,500 --> 01:05:43,599
tactile about it, isn't there?

142
01:05:44,933 --> 01:05:45,633
I definitely would.

143
01:05:46,099 --> 01:05:47,866
I love the clunkiness of it.

144
01:05:48,266 --> 01:05:51,599
I think there's something to be said about the

145
01:05:51,599 --> 01:05:54,666
endearing nature of clunky tech.

146
01:05:56,066 --> 01:05:56,300
Chunky.

147
01:05:57,699 --> 01:05:58,033
Chunky boys.

148
01:05:59,433 --> 01:06:01,433
So I've got, what's this one called?

149
01:06:01,433 --> 01:06:05,599
This is the Game Boy, same, small color.

150
01:06:06,033 --> 01:06:07,166
No, I don't know if it is a color.

151
01:06:07,599 --> 01:06:07,933
Color, yeah.

152
01:06:08,800 --> 01:06:09,666
Oh, it is a color, yeah.

153
01:06:10,233 --> 01:06:12,199
That's the earliest Game Boy I've got.

154
01:06:12,199 --> 01:06:15,400
I've got various other handhelds but, and

155
01:06:15,400 --> 01:06:17,066
various other Game Boys, but I haven't got one

156
01:06:17,066 --> 01:06:19,333
of the, I think it's the DMG is the original,

157
01:06:19,333 --> 01:06:21,233
but I would quite like one of those.

158
01:06:22,066 --> 01:06:22,733
The green screen, big

159
01:06:22,733 --> 01:06:24,699
white thing, red buttons, yeah.

160
01:06:25,900 --> 01:06:27,233
Yeah, get that down.

161
01:06:27,233 --> 01:06:28,900
Get the screen replaced with an IPS.

162
01:06:29,833 --> 01:06:32,099
Well, yeah, it's gonna be difficult to get the

163
01:06:32,099 --> 01:06:35,800
screen out probably because I wasn't too

164
01:06:35,800 --> 01:06:38,800
careful when I was younger and I hated

165
01:06:38,800 --> 01:06:41,233
admitting that something had gone

166
01:06:41,233 --> 01:06:43,566
wrong, but the screen did pop up.

167
01:06:43,866 --> 01:06:46,966
At one point, we superglued

168
01:06:46,966 --> 01:06:49,500
that baby back in there, like new.

169
01:06:51,233 --> 01:06:52,166
So the glue's retro,

170
01:06:52,166 --> 01:06:53,166
that's okay, it's still retro.

171
01:06:54,133 --> 01:06:54,866
What about you, Ross?

172
01:06:55,800 --> 01:06:58,066
What's in your attic that you don't wanna get

173
01:06:58,066 --> 01:06:59,266
down and put nice things in?

174
01:07:00,900 --> 01:07:04,666
It's probably a Super Nintendo up there, but

175
01:07:04,666 --> 01:07:08,433
sort of within playable reach, there's a 360 in

176
01:07:08,433 --> 01:07:10,066
my daughter's bedroom, which came out in 2005,

177
01:07:10,466 --> 01:07:13,433
so 21 years, that's pretty old at this point.

178
01:07:13,699 --> 01:07:17,566
And I'm pretty sure I've got a PSP somewhere.

179
01:07:18,099 --> 01:07:19,566
There's the PSP before the Vita.

180
01:07:20,800 --> 01:07:22,066
Yes, that was the original

181
01:07:22,066 --> 01:07:23,599
handheld from Turner, yeah.

182
01:07:24,099 --> 01:07:26,366
That's the one I've got somewhere.

183
01:07:27,166 --> 01:07:28,400
With the little UMD discs.

184
01:07:29,366 --> 01:07:30,033
Yeah, the little discs.

185
01:07:30,366 --> 01:07:32,199
Yeah, my hands are too

186
01:07:32,199 --> 01:07:33,500
big to play those consoles.

187
01:07:33,500 --> 01:07:34,566
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

188
01:07:34,566 --> 01:07:36,233
I had exactly the same problem.

189
01:07:36,233 --> 01:07:37,666
I got big old mitts as well.

190
01:07:37,900 --> 01:07:38,933
That's why I've got one of the week.

191
01:07:39,900 --> 01:07:41,066
This was one of the best

192
01:07:41,066 --> 01:07:42,500
Christmas presents I ever had.

193
01:07:42,500 --> 01:07:45,433
She bought me a white PSP in the release year.

194
01:07:45,633 --> 01:07:48,433
It was just, it turned up, I had no idea that

195
01:07:48,433 --> 01:07:50,066
she was buying it and I

196
01:07:50,066 --> 01:07:51,133
opened it on Christmas morning.

197
01:07:51,133 --> 01:07:53,066
Oh my God, look at this thing.

198
01:07:53,066 --> 01:07:54,566
This looks amazing, turned it on.

199
01:07:55,066 --> 01:07:56,099
I had, there was a

200
01:07:56,099 --> 01:07:57,566
puzzle game on it with balls.

201
01:07:59,333 --> 01:08:01,866
Oh, the Lumiere or Lumineau.

202
01:08:01,866 --> 01:08:02,733
Is it the one with the?

203
01:08:03,833 --> 01:08:04,699
Lumines, that's it.

204
01:08:07,133 --> 01:08:09,033
Yeah, such a good game.

205
01:08:09,033 --> 01:08:10,199
Turned that on, it looks so impressive.

206
01:08:10,400 --> 01:08:12,966
The screen was gorgeous, sound was brilliant.

207
01:08:13,599 --> 01:08:17,600
And then after about 25 minutes or so, my hands

208
01:08:17,600 --> 01:08:20,733
just turned into arthritic claws and I could

209
01:08:20,733 --> 01:08:21,800
just never play it again.

210
01:08:21,899 --> 01:08:24,066
It was a completely wasted present on me.

211
01:08:24,466 --> 01:08:25,433
Yeah, I got the same problems.

212
01:08:25,766 --> 01:08:28,100
Same with the Switch as well.

213
01:08:28,899 --> 01:08:30,066
The game pads are just too small.

214
01:08:31,066 --> 01:08:32,600
Oh, but you can, you get the,

215
01:08:34,433 --> 01:08:35,366
you can take the joy card.

216
01:08:35,399 --> 01:08:37,433
Yeah, the controller attachment, but it's just

217
01:08:37,433 --> 01:08:38,800
the buttons are too close together.

218
01:08:38,800 --> 01:08:42,866
I'm so used to now playing a free Xbox Series

219
01:08:42,866 --> 01:08:44,966
X, whatever controller, but those

220
01:08:44,966 --> 01:08:46,600
small tiny ones just can't do it.

221
01:08:46,699 --> 01:08:47,699
Switch Pro controller is

222
01:08:47,699 --> 01:08:49,733
pretty good for our hands.

223
01:08:50,800 --> 01:08:52,633
I got through quite a lot of them.

224
01:08:52,899 --> 01:08:53,966
Switch 2 is so expensive.

225
01:08:55,633 --> 01:08:59,466
Also, why would I want to buy a console that

226
01:08:59,466 --> 01:09:01,566
they can just brick at any time they want?

227
01:09:03,133 --> 01:09:04,233
Right, right?

228
01:09:04,633 --> 01:09:05,866
Oh, we don't like you.

229
01:09:06,500 --> 01:09:07,600
You don't give us enough money.

230
01:09:08,199 --> 01:09:10,500
My Switch isn't exactly

231
01:09:10,500 --> 01:09:12,333
factory standard, let's say.

232
01:09:14,733 --> 01:09:15,466
We won't tell them.

233
01:09:15,833 --> 01:09:17,600
I took a soldering iron to it.

234
01:09:17,633 --> 01:09:21,733
(Gasps) I did break it, to be fair, I did break

235
01:09:21,733 --> 01:09:22,899
it, but then I fixed it,

236
01:09:22,899 --> 01:09:23,833
which is kind of on brand.

237
01:09:24,333 --> 01:09:24,800
So that's okay.

238
01:09:25,133 --> 01:09:27,966
I've got one other thing to show off here, and

239
01:09:27,966 --> 01:09:29,899
that is my creamy colon.

240
01:09:30,800 --> 01:09:31,800
Ah, yes!

241
01:09:33,866 --> 01:09:35,399
Content warning, any content warning?

242
01:09:36,133 --> 01:09:37,966
No, it's all right, it's after three minutes.

243
01:09:39,166 --> 01:09:40,033
Well, it does, I mean,

244
01:09:40,399 --> 01:09:41,800
that's just a typo, I'm sure.

245
01:09:42,666 --> 01:09:43,466
Yeah, of course, go.

246
01:09:44,233 --> 01:09:46,966
This is from one of my very,

247
01:09:46,966 --> 01:09:49,833
very kind patrons sent me a package.

248
01:09:50,600 --> 01:09:51,966
I'm fixing his console,

249
01:09:51,966 --> 01:09:52,800
so he sent me some stuff.

250
01:09:53,166 --> 01:09:55,766
This is all from Japan, and we've got, I think

251
01:09:55,766 --> 01:09:56,633
this is Elle's favorite,

252
01:09:57,300 --> 01:09:58,699
the cheesy fish sticks.

253
01:09:59,733 --> 01:10:03,600
Yeah, like, Mentai-ko is like a big flavor.

254
01:10:05,966 --> 01:10:08,966
Yeah, and cod roe, you get them in the sacks.

255
01:10:11,233 --> 01:10:12,433
It's nice, look.

256
01:10:13,533 --> 01:10:15,466
Don't knock it till you try it.

257
01:10:15,500 --> 01:10:16,633
But it's it, though.

258
01:10:17,966 --> 01:10:18,966
Yeah, I like it.

259
01:10:19,399 --> 01:10:24,000
You get really interesting instant meals.

260
01:10:25,466 --> 01:10:27,000
I know, but you don't like cheesy.

261
01:10:27,966 --> 01:10:29,766
It smells like a jockstrap.

262
01:10:33,100 --> 01:10:33,500
Well.

263
01:10:34,766 --> 01:10:35,533
Probably tastes similar.

264
01:10:35,566 --> 01:10:36,866
But I can't stop smelling it

265
01:10:36,866 --> 01:10:38,933
for some reason, I just can't.

266
01:10:40,699 --> 01:10:41,566
I'm not eating any, I'm

267
01:10:41,566 --> 01:10:42,933
definitely not eating any now.

268
01:10:43,100 --> 01:10:44,000
Okay, so that's me done.

269
01:10:44,633 --> 01:10:45,766
I'm short and sweet this week.

270
01:10:46,266 --> 01:10:47,733
Well, you've released two videos as well on

271
01:10:47,733 --> 01:10:49,033
your channel, so I've watched both of them.

272
01:10:49,033 --> 01:10:49,466
I have.

273
01:10:49,500 --> 01:10:50,166
I have no idea what was going

274
01:10:50,166 --> 01:10:51,866
on, but I watched them regardless.

275
01:10:53,233 --> 01:10:56,366
Well, one of them, I shared one with you, which

276
01:10:56,366 --> 01:10:59,699
was me eating cheesy fish

277
01:10:59,699 --> 01:11:00,966
sticks and penny colons.

278
01:11:02,233 --> 01:11:02,399
Pardon?

279
01:11:02,833 --> 01:11:04,233
And the whiskey jellies.

280
01:11:04,800 --> 01:11:06,366
The whiskey jelly, which I found out

281
01:11:06,366 --> 01:11:08,300
afterwards, is actually alcoholic.

282
01:11:09,533 --> 01:11:09,733
No!

283
01:11:10,233 --> 01:11:11,199
Yeah, 5% alcohol.

284
01:11:11,199 --> 01:11:11,699
No wonder you love them.

285
01:11:12,899 --> 01:11:14,600
I'm not supposed to drink alcohol.

286
01:11:17,566 --> 01:11:18,466
(Laughing) So yeah, I

287
01:11:18,466 --> 01:11:21,033
definitely didn't drive near ours.

288
01:11:21,033 --> 01:11:21,566
It's all good.

289
01:11:21,833 --> 01:11:22,933
No, that didn't happen.

290
01:11:25,066 --> 01:11:25,733
What else have you released

291
01:11:25,733 --> 01:11:26,699
this week, then, on your channel?

292
01:11:26,699 --> 01:11:27,633
Because there's both channels.

293
01:11:29,399 --> 01:11:31,100
What came out, oh, there was,

294
01:11:31,399 --> 01:11:33,466
it's just my usual repair videos.

295
01:11:33,699 --> 01:11:37,233
Saturdays is when I release a fixing video, I'm

296
01:11:37,233 --> 01:11:38,533
more fun fixing it every

297
01:11:38,533 --> 01:11:40,500
Saturday, almost every Saturday.

298
01:11:40,600 --> 01:11:44,500
I think I missed maybe two weeks in the last

299
01:11:44,500 --> 01:11:47,833
two years on the fixing channel, but I also

300
01:11:47,833 --> 01:11:49,966
released something on Wednesday.

301
01:11:50,533 --> 01:11:51,500
What did I release on Wednesday?

302
01:11:52,366 --> 01:11:53,466
I've actually forgotten.

303
01:11:55,899 --> 01:11:57,166
Keying content over there.

304
01:11:58,000 --> 01:11:58,466
So much.

305
01:11:58,899 --> 01:11:59,500
I can't remember it.

306
01:11:59,699 --> 01:12:01,233
Released in too many videos.

307
01:12:01,800 --> 01:12:02,833
Talk amongst yourselves.

308
01:12:05,066 --> 01:12:06,733
(Laughing) Oh my goodness.

309
01:12:08,100 --> 01:12:14,433
I'm looking at YouTube studio right now.

310
01:12:14,966 --> 01:12:17,166
Right, anyway, seamlessly,

311
01:12:18,000 --> 01:12:19,766
there will be a cut there and,

312
01:12:21,000 --> 01:12:21,899
Nah, be there.

313
01:12:21,966 --> 01:12:24,333
I released a bonus video, which was an unboxing

314
01:12:24,333 --> 01:12:25,500
video, which is all the PC

315
01:12:25,500 --> 01:12:27,066
Engine stuff that I've got to repair,

316
01:12:28,066 --> 01:12:29,533
which actually, one of

317
01:12:29,533 --> 01:12:31,666
them, can I show you that now?

318
01:12:32,466 --> 01:12:34,133
This is incredibly cool.

319
01:12:34,399 --> 01:12:36,399
So I'm going to have to audio

320
01:12:36,399 --> 01:12:38,366
describe this for audio listeners.

321
01:12:38,666 --> 01:12:41,666
This is a PC Engine briefcase.

322
01:12:43,266 --> 01:12:44,800
It's got a broken clip on it, but I can just,

323
01:12:45,133 --> 01:12:46,166
if I, all right, I'll take the

324
01:12:46,166 --> 01:12:47,466
top off and show you what it's like.

325
01:12:48,366 --> 01:12:51,866
Like millennial gray, which seemed to be the

326
01:12:51,866 --> 01:12:54,733
gray of the time, haven't been in the 90s.

327
01:12:55,166 --> 01:12:57,266
Oh, yellow with age.

328
01:12:58,166 --> 01:12:59,133
Yeah, yes.

329
01:12:59,633 --> 01:13:03,766
That's slightly urine yellowed, but this is a

330
01:13:03,766 --> 01:13:05,766
PC Engine and a CD Rom Rom.

331
01:13:06,066 --> 01:13:07,366
That is how you say it.

332
01:13:07,366 --> 01:13:09,433
It's a CD Rom Rom, yeah.

333
01:13:09,866 --> 01:13:12,366
Because it actually says CD Rom squared.

334
01:13:12,366 --> 01:13:14,466
It's got the two next to it.

335
01:13:14,466 --> 01:13:15,899
And that's how you pronounce it.

336
01:13:16,133 --> 01:13:17,266
And it's in an interface

337
01:13:17,266 --> 01:13:19,733
unit, this whole thing.

338
01:13:19,733 --> 01:13:21,966
These just pop out and that's a console on its

339
01:13:21,966 --> 01:13:23,699
own and that's a CD player on its own.

340
01:13:23,699 --> 01:13:25,433
And then you plug them in together and they

341
01:13:25,433 --> 01:13:28,899
become a, the first gaming

342
01:13:28,899 --> 01:13:31,333
or console gaming CD system.

343
01:13:31,933 --> 01:13:34,466
This was, so I've got to fix that.

344
01:13:35,233 --> 01:13:35,866
That's really cool.

345
01:13:36,733 --> 01:13:36,899
Yeah.

346
01:13:37,100 --> 01:13:40,600
So yeah, that was in my video on Wednesday.

347
01:13:41,166 --> 01:13:44,233
So, but my brain, so that was what I was

348
01:13:44,233 --> 01:13:45,699
working on like seven days ago.

349
01:13:46,233 --> 01:13:48,666
Now my brain's all invested in what I've been

350
01:13:48,666 --> 01:13:51,566
editing today and what's coming up and I've got

351
01:13:51,566 --> 01:13:53,399
some really cool stuff coming up actually.

352
01:13:53,433 --> 01:13:54,366
So a little look behind the

353
01:13:54,366 --> 01:13:56,100
curtain of your other channels.

354
01:13:57,066 --> 01:13:58,366
Why not Rich is not there to stop us.

355
01:13:58,899 --> 01:14:01,500
What, how far ahead are you recording content

356
01:14:01,500 --> 01:14:03,166
and stuff for you weeks ahead?

357
01:14:03,166 --> 01:14:04,866
Or do you record a sort of a week before and

358
01:14:04,866 --> 01:14:05,800
then that comes out on the

359
01:14:05,800 --> 01:14:06,833
Wednesday and Saturday or?

360
01:14:07,566 --> 01:14:08,133
It depends.

361
01:14:08,333 --> 01:14:09,100
There's been a lot going

362
01:14:09,100 --> 01:14:10,233
on over the last few weeks.

363
01:14:10,233 --> 01:14:13,000
So I've been recording videos in the week

364
01:14:13,100 --> 01:14:14,833
before I released them.

365
01:14:15,699 --> 01:14:20,833
But in a normal month, I will record say three,

366
01:14:20,833 --> 01:14:22,833
four or five repair episodes.

367
01:14:23,366 --> 01:14:25,766
So I've got stuff banked for the next month.

368
01:14:26,433 --> 01:14:29,133
Then I'll work on main channel stuff which

369
01:14:29,133 --> 01:14:30,466
hasn't really worked out so

370
01:14:30,466 --> 01:14:31,800
well but it is getting better.

371
01:14:33,166 --> 01:14:36,600
The scripted and produced and heavily produced

372
01:14:36,600 --> 01:14:38,000
videos on the main channel

373
01:14:38,000 --> 01:14:40,399
just takes so much longer to make.

374
01:14:40,866 --> 01:14:43,766
On a fixing video, if I can fix something in

375
01:14:43,766 --> 01:14:45,100
say a couple of hours,

376
01:14:45,366 --> 01:14:47,066
takes me two hours to record it.

377
01:14:47,433 --> 01:14:50,399
And then it takes me another two, three hours

378
01:14:50,633 --> 01:14:53,399
to do the editing and get it all up on YouTube

379
01:14:53,399 --> 01:14:54,533
and do the description,

380
01:14:54,533 --> 01:14:55,366
the thumbnail and everything.

381
01:14:56,033 --> 01:14:59,133
I can do it easily in half a day, one video.

382
01:14:59,433 --> 01:15:00,733
So it's not so bad.

383
01:15:00,766 --> 01:15:03,000
I guess when you're trying to hit something and

384
01:15:03,000 --> 01:15:05,133
you have an idea in mind, you

385
01:15:05,133 --> 01:15:07,633
might need to do a few takes to get it.

386
01:15:08,899 --> 01:15:09,766
That's the problem.

387
01:15:09,766 --> 01:15:10,133
On the scripted stuff.

388
01:15:10,833 --> 01:15:14,500
Yeah, there's a lot of stuff that gets cut out.

389
01:15:15,366 --> 01:15:16,233
A lot of takes.

390
01:15:16,966 --> 01:15:19,266
Yeah, it's difficult when you're recording

391
01:15:19,266 --> 01:15:22,733
something, I'm generally making something on

392
01:15:22,733 --> 01:15:24,199
the morph, I'm making it.

393
01:15:24,466 --> 01:15:27,600
And I'll show you something that I made.

394
01:15:27,733 --> 01:15:28,366
I made this.

395
01:15:29,633 --> 01:15:30,733
Oh, that's cute.

396
01:15:31,699 --> 01:15:34,366
So ZX81 with a mechanical keyboard.

397
01:15:35,166 --> 01:15:37,399
A crunchy, pretty printed keyboard.

398
01:15:37,833 --> 01:15:38,966
Yeah, that's a really nice.

399
01:15:39,500 --> 01:15:40,833
I put in really, really nice

400
01:15:40,833 --> 01:15:42,233
switches in this as well there.

401
01:15:42,233 --> 01:15:42,733
I think they're great.

402
01:15:43,166 --> 01:15:46,500
I had to change out my mechanical keyboard from

403
01:15:46,500 --> 01:15:50,766
when we were podcasting last because people

404
01:15:50,766 --> 01:15:52,766
didn't like me click clackin'.

405
01:15:54,033 --> 01:15:54,933
(Laughing)

406
01:15:56,800 --> 01:16:00,866
Yeah, so making stuff is fun, but recording it

407
01:16:00,866 --> 01:16:04,500
is really, I mean, it's hours and hours and

408
01:16:04,500 --> 01:16:05,633
hours, it's days and days

409
01:16:05,633 --> 01:16:06,866
and days just to record it.

410
01:16:06,866 --> 01:16:09,166
And then editing it is difficult.

411
01:16:09,166 --> 01:16:11,233
And then you have to do the whole writing a

412
01:16:11,233 --> 01:16:12,466
voice over, recording the voice

413
01:16:12,466 --> 01:16:14,500
over and then splicing that into it.

414
01:16:14,733 --> 01:16:16,100
And yeah, so it's a lot more

415
01:16:16,100 --> 01:16:17,433
complicated, but yeah, it's good fun.

416
01:16:17,433 --> 01:16:18,633
I really enjoy it.

417
01:16:18,633 --> 01:16:19,133
It's good.

418
01:16:19,133 --> 01:16:20,100
Yeah, it's good.

419
01:16:20,100 --> 01:16:20,633
So you've got a hell of a

420
01:16:20,633 --> 01:16:21,766
little community going on with that.

421
01:16:23,166 --> 01:16:24,566
Yeah, you popped into

422
01:16:24,566 --> 01:16:26,066
the Retro Hardware Discord.

423
01:16:26,333 --> 01:16:27,866
That's fantastic actually.

424
01:16:28,633 --> 01:16:29,666
I can't keep up with it.

425
01:16:30,500 --> 01:16:33,766
For the first say, I don't know, just over a

426
01:16:33,766 --> 01:16:37,366
thousand members, I would read every single

427
01:16:37,366 --> 01:16:39,466
message in that Discord.

428
01:16:39,933 --> 01:16:40,500
Everything, I would make

429
01:16:40,500 --> 01:16:41,866
sure I kept up with everything.

430
01:16:42,666 --> 01:16:45,000
Now it's just, I've got like a sea of white

431
01:16:45,000 --> 01:16:48,199
channels where there are unread messages.

432
01:16:48,199 --> 01:16:48,966
And every now and now I

433
01:16:48,966 --> 01:16:51,833
just go, "Mmm, Margaret's red."

434
01:16:52,300 --> 01:16:52,833
All of it.

435
01:16:53,266 --> 01:16:54,133
(Laughing) You have to.

436
01:16:55,033 --> 01:16:57,500
Yeah. I've got a lovely team of moderators that keep

437
01:16:57,500 --> 01:16:58,500
an eye on things for me.

438
01:16:58,500 --> 01:17:00,633
Just the best people as well.

439
01:17:01,166 --> 01:17:03,033
They are brilliant, really helped me out.

440
01:17:03,033 --> 01:17:03,766
I couldn't do it without them.

441
01:17:04,266 --> 01:17:07,333
So, who's gonna go first?

442
01:17:08,066 --> 01:17:09,033
El's got things to talk about.

443
01:17:09,566 --> 01:17:10,433
El's got, oh, okay.

444
01:17:10,433 --> 01:17:11,533
El's bursting at the seams.

445
01:17:11,733 --> 01:17:14,166
So El, what have you been up to?

446
01:17:14,933 --> 01:17:18,033
This is still just the last six days, or is

447
01:17:18,033 --> 01:17:19,199
this something that

448
01:17:19,199 --> 01:17:20,899
you've banked up to talk about?

449
01:17:21,133 --> 01:17:23,199
Have you got stuff over the last, how, it's

450
01:17:23,199 --> 01:17:25,100
like three years since we recorded, isn't it?

451
01:17:25,133 --> 01:17:27,699
It's been 84 years.

452
01:17:29,133 --> 01:17:32,466
(Laughing) I do have quite the back catalog of

453
01:17:32,466 --> 01:17:35,133
games I could wax lyrical about.

454
01:17:36,033 --> 01:17:39,766
In terms of games that I've played, potentially

455
01:17:39,766 --> 01:17:41,933
we can talk about Still Wakes the Deep.

456
01:17:42,833 --> 01:17:44,633
I don't think we've spoken about this.

457
01:17:44,766 --> 01:17:45,500
Like the title.

458
01:17:45,500 --> 01:17:46,233
It's an interesting one.

459
01:17:47,800 --> 01:17:51,766
However, before I go into that, have either of

460
01:17:51,766 --> 01:17:54,699
you watched any of the state of

461
01:17:54,699 --> 01:17:58,699
plays or the summer fast of games,

462
01:17:59,699 --> 01:18:01,366
any of the new release, like,

463
01:18:02,166 --> 01:18:04,533
this is my guilty pleasure, right?

464
01:18:05,033 --> 01:18:05,899
I love an advert.

465
01:18:07,166 --> 01:18:08,166
I love a good advert.

466
01:18:08,500 --> 01:18:12,333
The art of a good advert is, you know, they

467
01:18:12,333 --> 01:18:13,966
don't make them like they used to.

468
01:18:14,433 --> 01:18:15,333
Let's just say something.

469
01:18:16,899 --> 01:18:20,066
So there are a lot of games to be excited about

470
01:18:20,500 --> 01:18:21,699
that are coming down the track.

471
01:18:22,500 --> 01:18:26,333
Now I was gonna bring this up when Rich is

472
01:18:26,333 --> 01:18:27,633
around, but he's not here.

473
01:18:28,100 --> 01:18:29,666
And I know that he won't listen to this.

474
01:18:30,000 --> 01:18:31,199
So I can talk about it and

475
01:18:31,199 --> 01:18:32,633
there'll still be a surprise to him.

476
01:18:33,033 --> 01:18:34,433
He doesn't listen to podcasts, so it's fine.

477
01:18:34,766 --> 01:18:36,033
Yeah, he doesn't.

478
01:18:36,033 --> 01:18:38,933
It'll be fine until Dawn 2 is coming out.

479
01:18:39,266 --> 01:18:42,233
So for people who enjoyed until Dawn, do be

480
01:18:42,233 --> 01:18:44,633
excited a second entry

481
01:18:44,633 --> 01:18:46,600
into the ideas coming along.

482
01:18:47,199 --> 01:18:48,366
Big fan of that one.

483
01:18:49,300 --> 01:18:50,433
It's, do you know what?

484
01:18:50,433 --> 01:18:54,433
It was such an iconic of its moment game.

485
01:18:55,366 --> 01:19:00,233
I think they've sometimes dropped the ball.

486
01:19:01,100 --> 01:19:03,000
I think we were talking about it last time.

487
01:19:03,600 --> 01:19:05,699
We're, or at least I've spoken to loads of

488
01:19:05,699 --> 01:19:08,766
people about the dark pictures anthology that

489
01:19:08,766 --> 01:19:10,933
they came out with, all of the games where they

490
01:19:10,933 --> 01:19:12,399
do very well at the start.

491
01:19:13,100 --> 01:19:13,733
And then they kind of

492
01:19:13,733 --> 01:19:15,266
dropped the ball for me at the end

493
01:19:16,766 --> 01:19:19,133
in terms of sticking with

494
01:19:19,133 --> 01:19:22,166
a horror theme well enough.

495
01:19:23,033 --> 01:19:25,166
Starting stories is easy, finishing them.

496
01:19:26,000 --> 01:19:27,266
It's hard.

497
01:19:28,033 --> 01:19:28,733
It is hard.

498
01:19:29,366 --> 01:19:33,366
And I, you know, that is a hard task to do.

499
01:19:33,699 --> 01:19:36,100
They've done really well with until Dawn.

500
01:19:36,500 --> 01:19:38,166
They did really well with the

501
01:19:38,166 --> 01:19:40,600
quarry, really loved the quarry.

502
01:19:41,899 --> 01:19:43,600
However, like the man of

503
01:19:43,600 --> 01:19:45,366
Madame just didn't do it for me.

504
01:19:46,133 --> 01:19:47,966
Neither did like the house of Ash.

505
01:19:49,466 --> 01:19:52,500
However, very excited for until Dawn 2.

506
01:19:54,866 --> 01:19:56,100
That's something to look forward to.

507
01:19:56,933 --> 01:19:59,000
For those of you who liked alien isolation.

508
01:20:00,000 --> 01:20:00,166
Yes.

509
01:20:01,100 --> 01:20:03,966
There is a second one coming our way.

510
01:20:05,699 --> 01:20:07,133
Be prepared to be scared.

511
01:20:07,899 --> 01:20:09,000
Did anyone play in VR?

512
01:20:10,600 --> 01:20:11,133
Do you know what?

513
01:20:11,933 --> 01:20:15,366
I saw someone go to sleep in it in VR.

514
01:20:15,399 --> 01:20:16,399
Oh, in a locker.

515
01:20:17,600 --> 01:20:20,966
Just like, no, just, I'm just gonna lay here

516
01:20:21,166 --> 01:20:24,100
with alien VR isolation on my VR.

517
01:20:24,100 --> 01:20:25,133
Alien isolation.

518
01:20:26,033 --> 01:20:26,333
Yeah.

519
01:20:28,933 --> 01:20:29,233
Okay.

520
01:20:30,000 --> 01:20:31,366
That doesn't sound right at all.

521
01:20:32,600 --> 01:20:36,466
That was one of the ones I just, noted out of

522
01:20:36,466 --> 01:20:37,866
just seeing the alien come.

523
01:20:38,166 --> 01:20:40,066
I was hiding in the locker looking through the,

524
01:20:40,733 --> 01:20:43,033
through the grill in the door

525
01:20:43,033 --> 01:20:45,566
and yeah, then the teeth appeared.

526
01:20:45,833 --> 01:20:47,100
No, hate it.

527
01:20:47,100 --> 01:20:48,033
That's a scary ass game.

528
01:20:49,166 --> 01:20:50,899
The first half an hour

529
01:20:50,899 --> 01:20:52,699
of that game is pure gold.

530
01:20:53,899 --> 01:20:55,933
Pure gold in terms of like

531
01:20:55,933 --> 01:20:59,966
theme and the atmosphere of it.

532
01:21:00,166 --> 01:21:01,000
I absolutely love it.

533
01:21:01,266 --> 01:21:03,399
So I'm very excited for a second.

534
01:21:04,500 --> 01:21:07,366
If Rich was here, he would be telling us all

535
01:21:07,366 --> 01:21:09,133
about how he played it.

536
01:21:09,133 --> 01:21:10,433
I think it was at EGX.

537
01:21:10,433 --> 01:21:11,600
I don't think it was in VR.

538
01:21:11,933 --> 01:21:13,899
It might've been in VR, but he was just doing a

539
01:21:13,899 --> 01:21:15,966
challenge that they had going on the floor

540
01:21:16,000 --> 01:21:18,633
where with alien isolation and he just

541
01:21:18,633 --> 01:21:20,033
barrelled through the whole level.

542
01:21:20,100 --> 01:21:21,233
Like he usually does.

543
01:21:21,233 --> 01:21:23,066
Every single game that he plays.

544
01:21:23,399 --> 01:21:23,933
He does.

545
01:21:24,633 --> 01:21:26,133
Until he hits the exit.

546
01:21:26,533 --> 01:21:28,366
And then all of the bad guys are basically

547
01:21:28,366 --> 01:21:29,933
like, well, we weren't programmed for this.

548
01:21:29,933 --> 01:21:30,833
What's going on?

549
01:21:33,199 --> 01:21:35,033
You aren't supposed to behave this way.

550
01:21:35,033 --> 01:21:36,000
Speed running alien isolation.

551
01:21:36,366 --> 01:21:36,800
Just go.

552
01:21:37,199 --> 01:21:38,633
Yeah, he's, Parkour.

553
01:21:40,166 --> 01:21:40,933
Running for it.

554
01:21:40,933 --> 01:21:41,199
Parkour.

555
01:21:43,266 --> 01:21:45,766
In the same franchise, I

556
01:21:45,766 --> 01:21:48,833
really enjoyed Alien Fire Team.

557
01:21:50,266 --> 01:21:53,033
Which is where you get three players.

558
01:21:53,333 --> 01:21:54,699
So I had two friends that

559
01:21:54,699 --> 01:21:56,666
would play Alien Fire Team with me.

560
01:21:57,333 --> 01:22:01,366
And you play as these Marines who go into these

561
01:22:01,366 --> 01:22:06,199
lovely situations and weapons free, right?

562
01:22:06,533 --> 01:22:08,733
You love to kill some aliens.

563
01:22:09,433 --> 01:22:10,800
I know I had a lot of them.

564
01:22:12,500 --> 01:22:15,100
I think you can choose your view.

565
01:22:15,433 --> 01:22:16,233
It's been a little while

566
01:22:16,233 --> 01:22:17,433
since Fire Team came out.

567
01:22:18,766 --> 01:22:20,466
I don't know whether I did

568
01:22:20,466 --> 01:22:21,899
over the shoulder or first person.

569
01:22:22,733 --> 01:22:23,966
I'm really weird sometimes.

570
01:22:23,966 --> 01:22:25,133
Sometimes I'm better with like

571
01:22:25,133 --> 01:22:26,399
over the shoulder with aiming.

572
01:22:26,800 --> 01:22:27,600
Don't ask me why.

573
01:22:28,433 --> 01:22:29,866
It'd be good to have a cover shooter.

574
01:22:30,133 --> 01:22:31,133
A cover shooter would be

575
01:22:31,133 --> 01:22:33,699
quite good in the Alien universe.

576
01:22:33,699 --> 01:22:33,933
I think.

577
01:22:34,666 --> 01:22:36,766
It was really enjoyable.

578
01:22:37,433 --> 01:22:39,600
Working as a team with like limited resources

579
01:22:39,866 --> 01:22:40,866
and doing resource management.

580
01:22:41,100 --> 01:22:42,566
Cause I love a bit of resource management.

581
01:22:44,033 --> 01:22:44,533
Did you spreadsheet?

582
01:22:46,033 --> 01:22:47,466
No, no, I did not spreadsheet.

583
01:22:47,733 --> 01:22:50,100
It's only in these like isolated levels.

584
01:22:50,933 --> 01:22:53,733
There's, I bought like the DLC for it, which

585
01:22:53,733 --> 01:22:55,800
gave you a couple of extra levels.

586
01:22:56,300 --> 01:22:58,800
I do feel the content that they released in

587
01:22:58,800 --> 01:23:00,500
Fire Team was a little bit

588
01:23:00,500 --> 01:23:02,399
limited, but it was still a lot of fun.

589
01:23:02,699 --> 01:23:05,433
Very limited like replayability, but it's

590
01:23:05,433 --> 01:23:06,300
playing with your mates.

591
01:23:06,866 --> 01:23:10,399
So it's like any of the like, shooting band

592
01:23:10,399 --> 01:23:11,666
games that we've got recently.

593
01:23:11,899 --> 01:23:14,666
Cause I know Helldivers and,

594
01:23:16,133 --> 01:23:19,466
oh, the Starship Troopers one, I played both

595
01:23:19,466 --> 01:23:22,500
Helldivers and Starship Troopers and they are

596
01:23:22,500 --> 01:23:26,233
very fun, but a bit of the moment, right?

597
01:23:26,500 --> 01:23:28,333
You get into the zone,

598
01:23:29,066 --> 01:23:31,300
meme a bit, it's a good time.

599
01:23:32,600 --> 01:23:34,533
So you could only play with two other people,

600
01:23:34,533 --> 01:23:36,833
which was a little bit of an odd thing for me.

601
01:23:36,833 --> 01:23:38,733
Like normally I'm used to multiplayer as being

602
01:23:38,733 --> 01:23:40,100
like around four people.

603
01:23:40,966 --> 01:23:44,100
So the trailer for Fire Team two dropped and

604
01:23:44,100 --> 01:23:45,933
they did a very cool trailer.

605
01:23:46,399 --> 01:23:47,366
Kudos to them.

606
01:23:47,600 --> 01:23:50,199
I really enjoyed it because it introduces the

607
01:23:50,199 --> 01:23:52,100
concept that, oh my gosh, you

608
01:23:52,100 --> 01:23:53,666
can add an extra person now.

609
01:23:53,666 --> 01:23:55,500
You can do four player co-op.

610
01:23:56,266 --> 01:23:56,866
Oh, marvelous.

611
01:23:58,733 --> 01:24:00,133
Really looking forward to that.

612
01:24:01,699 --> 01:24:02,199
Do you know what?

613
01:24:02,199 --> 01:24:03,199
There's so many good like

614
01:24:03,199 --> 01:24:04,766
indie games that were teased

615
01:24:06,633 --> 01:24:07,833
loads of bits and pieces.

616
01:24:08,699 --> 01:24:11,166
There's a new solid hill, Town 4.

617
01:24:11,666 --> 01:24:11,866
Town 4.

618
01:24:13,000 --> 01:24:13,333
I did.

619
01:24:14,266 --> 01:24:15,333
I don't know how I feel about

620
01:24:15,333 --> 01:24:18,500
it, but I'm gonna wait to play it.

621
01:24:19,433 --> 01:24:20,366
I'm gonna wait to play it.

622
01:24:20,433 --> 01:24:22,466
It's Firewatch, isn't it?

623
01:24:22,466 --> 01:24:22,666
That the?

624
01:24:23,533 --> 01:24:23,833
Yeah.

625
01:24:24,699 --> 01:24:26,733
The idea of-- I'm a hill walking simulator.

626
01:24:28,633 --> 01:24:29,833
Do you know what?

627
01:24:29,833 --> 01:24:30,833
That would relax me.

628
01:24:30,833 --> 01:24:33,133
I'm like, oh yeah, I'm here with the fork and

629
01:24:33,133 --> 01:24:34,833
the monsters, we're having a good time.

630
01:24:37,699 --> 01:24:43,366
It's always touch and go because again, some of

631
01:24:43,366 --> 01:24:45,433
these games can be a bit Marmite for people,

632
01:24:45,633 --> 01:24:47,833
but the Silent Hill game that

633
01:24:47,833 --> 01:24:50,433
was on the Wii, the Nintendo Wii,

634
01:24:51,699 --> 01:24:53,433
is it Shattered Memories?

635
01:24:54,833 --> 01:24:55,699
Can't remember off the top of my

636
01:24:55,699 --> 01:24:58,666
head, but like really Marmite-y.

637
01:24:58,666 --> 01:24:59,933
It really hit for some people,

638
01:24:59,933 --> 01:25:01,699
it really didn't hit for others.

639
01:25:02,600 --> 01:25:04,500
But I really enjoyed

640
01:25:06,266 --> 01:25:09,033
these like segments of the game where you're

641
01:25:09,033 --> 01:25:10,633
talking to like a therapist.

642
01:25:11,333 --> 01:25:13,800
She's like, oh, you know, color in the picture

643
01:25:13,800 --> 01:25:16,233
and do the perfect family and you're there

644
01:25:16,300 --> 01:25:18,433
coloring away and making this nice house.

645
01:25:18,933 --> 01:25:21,699
And you eventually get to the house and the

646
01:25:21,699 --> 01:25:23,399
house is the color that you've drawn in the

647
01:25:23,399 --> 01:25:26,666
session and the people are wearing clothes and

648
01:25:26,666 --> 01:25:28,233
the colors that you've drawn on them.

649
01:25:28,233 --> 01:25:29,666
And I'm like, oh my God,

650
01:25:29,666 --> 01:25:31,000
you know, it's really cool.

651
01:25:32,199 --> 01:25:34,033
If you sit in this therapist's office and you

652
01:25:34,033 --> 01:25:35,766
don't pay attention to the therapist, you're

653
01:25:35,766 --> 01:25:38,100
looking at the alcohol like behind them,

654
01:25:38,699 --> 01:25:40,766
there's like alcoholic themes that get brought

655
01:25:40,766 --> 01:25:43,600
into the game and like there's so many

656
01:25:43,600 --> 01:25:47,533
interesting like things, Chochkes, Easter eggs

657
01:25:47,533 --> 01:25:51,100
that are in this game, but it does fall down in

658
01:25:51,100 --> 01:25:53,800
like, oh, the monsters just chase you and

659
01:25:53,800 --> 01:25:56,766
there's only one kind of monster and it's far

660
01:25:56,766 --> 01:25:59,000
more psychological in other ways.

661
01:25:59,366 --> 01:26:01,933
So sometimes it hits, sometimes it misses.

662
01:26:02,533 --> 01:26:04,933
I want to see what it's like before I pass

663
01:26:04,933 --> 01:26:08,066
judgment because this is one of my, one of my

664
01:26:08,066 --> 01:26:09,533
like ride or die

665
01:26:09,533 --> 01:26:12,133
franchises and I adore it to pieces.

666
01:26:12,500 --> 01:26:15,266
And I would love to see them do a good entry

667
01:26:15,266 --> 01:26:18,333
again after Silent Hill F, because I really

668
01:26:18,333 --> 01:26:21,800
enjoyed Silent Hill F, but I'm always there,

669
01:26:21,800 --> 01:26:23,699
oh, I'm gonna temper myself.

670
01:26:23,699 --> 01:26:25,166
I'm not gonna get on the hype train.

671
01:26:25,733 --> 01:26:26,933
I've been hurt before.

672
01:26:27,833 --> 01:26:29,666
You don't wanna judge in advance, but I'll do

673
01:26:29,666 --> 01:26:32,233
it for you because I'm just not gonna play it.

674
01:26:32,466 --> 01:26:33,833
Like I haven't played any of the other ones

675
01:26:34,100 --> 01:26:36,699
because I'm a bit wet that way really.

676
01:26:37,533 --> 01:26:41,333
Have you got any other, any other gems to tempt

677
01:26:41,333 --> 01:26:44,866
us with that aren't gonna terrify me?

678
01:26:45,266 --> 01:26:47,000
I mean, if a game has got its own therapy

679
01:26:47,000 --> 01:26:48,766
session built in, it's just

680
01:26:48,766 --> 01:26:50,233
not gonna be for me, is it?

681
01:26:52,766 --> 01:26:53,833
There's actually some really

682
01:26:53,833 --> 01:26:55,933
good classics that I saw pop up.

683
01:26:56,500 --> 01:26:57,733
So when I was growing up, I

684
01:26:57,733 --> 01:26:59,600
really loved playing Spyro.

685
01:27:00,633 --> 01:27:00,833
Yes.

686
01:27:01,233 --> 01:27:02,199
Little Pivlone, Pivlone, Pivlone.

687
01:27:02,233 --> 01:27:03,266
My wife's still playing, isn't it?

688
01:27:03,966 --> 01:27:04,699
Oh, nice.

689
01:27:05,133 --> 01:27:06,833
Well, they've got like a new Spyro.

690
01:27:07,033 --> 01:27:07,233
On the Switch?

691
01:27:08,466 --> 01:27:09,033
No.

692
01:27:09,033 --> 01:27:10,633
It's on the Xbox Game Pass.

693
01:27:11,533 --> 01:27:12,000
All right, sorry.

694
01:27:13,166 --> 01:27:13,366
Yeah.

695
01:27:13,899 --> 01:27:15,633
Mine was in the early days,

696
01:27:16,466 --> 01:27:19,366
but the early days of Spyro.

697
01:27:19,933 --> 01:27:21,100
But they've got like a new

698
01:27:21,100 --> 01:27:23,266
entry into their franchise.

699
01:27:23,800 --> 01:27:25,699
Great, love it, love to see old classics.

700
01:27:27,199 --> 01:27:28,733
There's the contentious

701
01:27:28,733 --> 01:27:31,899
entry into the God of War series.

702
01:27:32,866 --> 01:27:33,333
Oh, yeah.

703
01:27:34,333 --> 01:27:38,466
Because of course, of course, I love to hear

704
01:27:38,466 --> 01:27:40,733
the complaint, oh, it's

705
01:27:40,733 --> 01:27:43,100
gonna be so gay to play this.

706
01:27:43,933 --> 01:27:47,000
Maybe for me, maybe for me it will be, but I

707
01:27:47,000 --> 01:27:48,933
don't think it will be gay for a middle-aged

708
01:27:48,933 --> 01:27:50,399
man to be looking at a woman.

709
01:27:51,300 --> 01:27:52,233
Call me crazy.

710
01:27:53,300 --> 01:27:54,333
Yeah, definitely should not

711
01:27:54,333 --> 01:27:55,333
get in that thing, doesn't it?

712
01:27:56,699 --> 01:27:57,533
Yeah, I think that may be

713
01:27:57,533 --> 01:27:58,833
the opposite, but you know.

714
01:27:59,133 --> 01:28:01,066
Of all the markers, that's not one of them.

715
01:28:02,333 --> 01:28:07,366
I'm so sad for the people who've obviously had

716
01:28:07,366 --> 01:28:09,366
quite a knee-jerk reaction to it.

717
01:28:09,366 --> 01:28:13,000
Like I can kind of understand on the one side,

718
01:28:13,266 --> 01:28:14,600
because I got very upset

719
01:28:14,600 --> 01:28:17,933
with Masters of the Universe.

720
01:28:17,933 --> 01:28:19,100
And I'm like, where's my human?

721
01:28:20,333 --> 01:28:22,300
Not the new film, I've not seen that.

722
01:28:23,033 --> 01:28:24,666
Oh, that's another color fish.

723
01:28:25,766 --> 01:28:29,600
But I can understand on one side, but maybe

724
01:28:29,600 --> 01:28:33,033
given the last two games and Faye's been such

725
01:28:33,033 --> 01:28:35,433
an integral part of the story and the

726
01:28:35,433 --> 01:28:38,166
narrative, give it a chance, man.

727
01:28:38,333 --> 01:28:41,233
You never know, you might really enjoy it.

728
01:28:41,833 --> 01:28:44,966
And I don't want people to be denying

729
01:28:44,966 --> 01:28:47,699
themselves the opportunity to have a really

730
01:28:47,699 --> 01:28:49,666
involving and engaging game

731
01:28:49,666 --> 01:28:52,933
just because of one thing.

732
01:28:53,633 --> 01:28:55,733
It's like, yeah, she's a woman,

733
01:28:56,100 --> 01:28:57,333
but have you seen her kick ass?

734
01:28:57,733 --> 01:28:57,833
Yeah.

735
01:28:57,833 --> 01:29:03,233
Like play the last two games and listen to the

736
01:29:03,233 --> 01:29:06,633
story that Kratos lays down, right?

737
01:29:07,100 --> 01:29:08,600
This woman is a bad-ass.

738
01:29:09,300 --> 01:29:10,966
Like he married here, right?

739
01:29:11,533 --> 01:29:12,266
And got busy.

740
01:29:13,133 --> 01:29:13,933
But-- She's taken Kratos.

741
01:29:14,866 --> 01:29:18,866
Yeah, he's like proper mad for Faye.

742
01:29:18,933 --> 01:29:20,933
So I'm looking forward to it.

743
01:29:21,366 --> 01:29:22,866
I'm probably gonna pre-order it.

744
01:29:23,133 --> 01:29:25,733
I think the last couple of games in the God of

745
01:29:25,733 --> 01:29:26,699
War series have been,

746
01:29:27,466 --> 01:29:30,699
narratively, just spot on.

747
01:29:31,166 --> 01:29:33,699
Like Game of the Year for

748
01:29:33,699 --> 01:29:35,066
me when God of War came out.

749
01:29:35,399 --> 01:29:37,733
And that's me saying it.

750
01:29:38,000 --> 01:29:41,100
And I'm not necessarily someone who's like, I

751
01:29:41,100 --> 01:29:43,833
need the testosterone in my games.

752
01:29:44,800 --> 01:29:47,500
But yeah, they were so good.

753
01:29:47,733 --> 01:29:49,866
So emotionally mature.

754
01:29:50,666 --> 01:29:55,199
What a brilliant journey of Kratos getting to

755
01:29:55,199 --> 01:29:58,033
navigate grief and parenthood and all these

756
01:29:58,033 --> 01:30:00,233
kind of cool, complex things

757
01:30:00,500 --> 01:30:02,300
in a really enjoyable game.

758
01:30:02,933 --> 01:30:06,033
So I'm looking forward to the next entry and I

759
01:30:06,033 --> 01:30:07,533
hope other people can push

760
01:30:07,533 --> 01:30:09,133
things aside and enjoy it too.

761
01:30:09,566 --> 01:30:11,033
I think it will do just fine.

762
01:30:11,500 --> 01:30:13,866
There's gonna be that small minority that are

763
01:30:13,866 --> 01:30:15,033
making a big noise about

764
01:30:15,033 --> 01:30:17,266
things, but they are just a minority.

765
01:30:18,033 --> 01:30:19,300
They're just to be ignored really.

766
01:30:19,933 --> 01:30:20,966
Don't worry about them.

767
01:30:21,500 --> 01:30:22,533
Enjoy your game and

768
01:30:22,533 --> 01:30:24,000
that's all that really matters.

769
01:30:24,699 --> 01:30:26,800
Do you have any more or

770
01:30:26,800 --> 01:30:27,933
should we move on to Mr.

771
01:30:27,933 --> 01:30:28,199
Rostfuh?

772
01:30:29,266 --> 01:30:30,633
Well, Rost, do you wanna talk about something?

773
01:30:30,866 --> 01:30:33,066
Cause I could go, I could keep going.

774
01:30:33,433 --> 01:30:34,000
We can always come back.

775
01:30:34,000 --> 01:30:34,366
Yeah, we'll have you.

776
01:30:35,066 --> 01:30:36,233
Yeah, we'll come back to you in a minute.

777
01:30:36,233 --> 01:30:38,866
I've played a game this week, but I've also

778
01:30:38,866 --> 01:30:42,233
just on GameSpot and the main headline is the

779
01:30:42,233 --> 01:30:43,366
new Lara Croft was hot.

780
01:30:44,100 --> 01:30:44,899
And that's okay.

781
01:30:47,033 --> 01:30:49,933
Well, she's always been a hottie.

782
01:30:51,833 --> 01:30:52,033
Exactly.

783
01:30:52,333 --> 01:30:54,500
Even when she only had like three polygons.

784
01:30:54,933 --> 01:30:58,233
Even when she was like the proper, what is it?

785
01:30:58,533 --> 01:31:01,866
Like the 70s, like go, go,

786
01:31:01,866 --> 01:31:04,266
braf for the audio listeners.

787
01:31:07,166 --> 01:31:09,699
I made a triangle shape with my hands.

788
01:31:11,933 --> 01:31:15,966
Yeah, like she's always had it.

789
01:31:16,566 --> 01:31:17,100
Yeah, exactly.

790
01:31:17,366 --> 01:31:18,766
Yeah, the religion of the new Lara Croft game,

791
01:31:19,166 --> 01:31:20,433
which is another remake of the original.

792
01:31:21,100 --> 01:31:22,633
The second remake of the original.

793
01:31:23,199 --> 01:31:24,233
Oh, is it just the second?

794
01:31:25,766 --> 01:31:27,366
It feels like there's been four or five.

795
01:31:28,100 --> 01:31:29,000
Yeah, that's what I thought.

796
01:31:29,000 --> 01:31:29,500
It's a very important question.

797
01:31:30,266 --> 01:31:31,366
Here's a very important question.

798
01:31:31,933 --> 01:31:33,933
Can you lock a butler in a fridge?

799
01:31:35,533 --> 01:31:36,366
Probably not these days.

800
01:31:36,800 --> 01:31:39,699
Ah, that's the hallmark of

801
01:31:39,699 --> 01:31:41,033
the best Lara Croft game.

802
01:31:41,733 --> 01:31:42,366
It's been two pieces.

803
01:31:42,699 --> 01:31:42,833
For me at least.

804
01:31:42,833 --> 01:31:44,733
You can't lock a butler in a fridge then.

805
01:31:45,033 --> 01:31:45,766
The world's gone mad.

806
01:31:46,266 --> 01:31:47,266
The world's gone mad.

807
01:31:47,833 --> 01:31:49,800
But yeah, I've almost had played, I haven't

808
01:31:49,800 --> 01:31:51,866
really played, I've experienced a game called

809
01:31:51,866 --> 01:31:55,399
Mixtape, which was on Xbox Game Pass.

810
01:31:56,266 --> 01:31:56,633
Right.

811
01:31:56,666 --> 01:31:57,699
New to it last week, week

812
01:31:57,699 --> 01:31:59,366
before, I think, a little weeks ago.

813
01:32:00,566 --> 01:32:03,500
You saw a set in the 90s, your three friends,

814
01:32:03,733 --> 01:32:04,633
you're experiencing sort of your

815
01:32:04,633 --> 01:32:05,866
last night before the main game.

816
01:32:05,866 --> 01:32:07,600
With blur and elaces as well.

817
01:32:08,100 --> 01:32:11,533
Well, the soundtrack, Devo, Smashing Pumpkins,

818
01:32:11,800 --> 01:32:14,233
E-pop, Joy Division, The Cure, like.

819
01:32:14,766 --> 01:32:15,033
Wow.

820
01:32:15,566 --> 01:32:15,766
Now soundtrack.

821
01:32:45,633 --> 01:32:45,866
It's based around, each sort of chapter is based around a song, and they
relive sort of memories of things they've done, like Night I'm

822
01:32:45,866 --> 01:32:47,000
just playing this with Molly, Molly was

823
01:32:47,000 --> 01:32:48,133
watching, she's like, what are you doing?

824
01:32:48,366 --> 01:32:49,500
This is what we used to have.

825
01:32:49,933 --> 01:32:50,966
(Molly Gasps) Can you

826
01:32:50,966 --> 01:32:51,966
just skip back on Spotify?

827
01:32:52,300 --> 01:32:53,300
You had to rewind.

828
01:32:53,399 --> 01:32:53,633
Yeah.

829
01:32:54,199 --> 01:32:55,333
That's a tape game, Lewis.

830
01:32:57,100 --> 01:32:58,233
I've only played a little bit,

831
01:32:58,233 --> 01:32:59,866
I'm sort of three chapters in.

832
01:33:01,000 --> 01:33:02,266
Yeah, I'm really enjoying it so far.

833
01:33:02,266 --> 01:33:04,366
I love games that have got a solid soundtrack,

834
01:33:04,633 --> 01:33:07,833
and that is my music, like The Cure and

835
01:33:07,833 --> 01:33:09,533
Smashing Pumpkins, I'm all over that.

836
01:33:09,833 --> 01:33:12,033
So yeah, it's really good so far.

837
01:33:12,033 --> 01:33:14,266
I hope it continues to be really good.

838
01:33:15,166 --> 01:33:15,833
I'll see where it goes, I'll

839
01:33:15,833 --> 01:33:16,833
keep you up to it next time.

840
01:33:16,833 --> 01:33:18,766
But I don't think it's a massively big game,

841
01:33:18,766 --> 01:33:20,566
it's sort of an indie type game, but it's

842
01:33:20,566 --> 01:33:23,199
scored incredibly well, sort of nine out of

843
01:33:23,199 --> 01:33:25,399
10s, five out of five, 10 out of 10s on IGN.

844
01:33:27,000 --> 01:33:27,199
Wow.

845
01:33:27,833 --> 01:33:29,266
Yeah, it's really, really highly rated.

846
01:33:29,666 --> 01:33:29,699
So

847
01:33:30,199 --> 01:33:31,366
Sorry, did you say this was Game Pass?

848
01:33:32,233 --> 01:33:33,100
Yes, it's on Game Pass.

849
01:33:33,100 --> 01:33:34,933
So it's probably on PC as well, I think.

850
01:33:36,166 --> 01:33:38,266
Yeah, Windows, Xbox, it's available on

851
01:33:38,266 --> 01:33:40,699
PlayStation and Nintendo as well.

852
01:33:40,966 --> 01:33:42,500
Okay, so I need to get Game Pass again.

853
01:33:42,500 --> 01:33:44,000
I haven't had Game Pass for a while, but

854
01:33:44,000 --> 01:33:46,866
there's a new Forza that I need to play, so.

855
01:33:47,199 --> 01:33:48,733
Yes, I've played a lot on that as well.

856
01:33:49,833 --> 01:33:50,399
What, Forza 6?

857
01:33:50,399 --> 01:33:50,866
A lot of Forza.

858
01:33:51,433 --> 01:33:51,966
Yeah.

859
01:33:52,033 --> 01:33:52,866
Oh, give me a little bit of

860
01:33:52,866 --> 01:33:54,866
the skinny on Forza 6, please.

861
01:33:55,866 --> 01:33:56,899
Well, we're in Japan now.

862
01:33:57,199 --> 01:33:59,399
Japan is the scene for Forza 6.

863
01:33:59,899 --> 01:34:01,000
Hang on, Japan is where

864
01:34:01,000 --> 01:34:02,133
you buy your creamy colon.

865
01:34:04,566 --> 01:34:05,399
And your whiskey jellies.

866
01:34:05,433 --> 01:34:06,833
And your whiskey jellies.

867
01:34:07,566 --> 01:34:09,466
Do we need like a sponsored content bit on this

868
01:34:09,466 --> 01:34:10,333
when we release it on YouTube?

869
01:34:12,533 --> 01:34:12,966
Product placement.

870
01:34:12,966 --> 01:34:13,866
Sponsored by creamy colon.

871
01:34:14,733 --> 01:34:17,500
That's our secret, Ross, we're never sponsored.

872
01:34:17,833 --> 01:34:19,100
Yeah, naturally.

873
01:34:19,133 --> 01:34:20,199
There's gotta be a podcast

874
01:34:20,199 --> 01:34:21,133
title in there somewhere.

875
01:34:21,933 --> 01:34:22,899
Never sponsored, yeah.

876
01:34:22,899 --> 01:34:24,800
We will sell out, happily sell out, if anyone

877
01:34:24,800 --> 01:34:26,133
wants to give us some money, we will take it.

878
01:34:26,800 --> 01:34:28,500
We'll push your products as far as you want to.

879
01:34:28,500 --> 01:34:28,866
There I am.

880
01:34:29,699 --> 01:34:31,533
I'm like, the one thing

881
01:34:31,533 --> 01:34:32,733
we have is our integrity.

882
01:34:33,000 --> 01:34:34,533
They can never take it away.

883
01:34:35,500 --> 01:34:36,233
Do you know where's the brand?

884
01:34:37,433 --> 01:34:38,000
Saudi Arabia.

885
01:34:39,333 --> 01:34:40,566
Saudi Arabia, it's great

886
01:34:40,566 --> 01:34:41,699
for holidays I've heard.

887
01:34:42,333 --> 01:34:47,466
But yeah, so Forza 6, you're in Japan.

888
01:34:47,666 --> 01:34:51,233
One of the sort of, you know, you do series of

889
01:34:51,233 --> 01:34:52,500
races to get to events.

890
01:34:52,766 --> 01:34:54,933
And one of the events is you race a Gundam.

891
01:34:56,899 --> 01:34:58,600
As he's sort of skating through the level and

892
01:34:58,600 --> 01:35:00,366
then flying around like he turns into a jet and

893
01:35:00,366 --> 01:35:01,866
flies around and then yeah, you race him right

894
01:35:01,866 --> 01:35:03,633
to the end as he sort of, not to spoil it, but

895
01:35:03,633 --> 01:35:05,600
he crashes as you just get into the line.

896
01:35:05,600 --> 01:35:06,566
It's so well done.

897
01:35:06,566 --> 01:35:08,366
The set pieces are just amazing.

898
01:35:10,199 --> 01:35:11,533
I've just made it up into the mountain.

899
01:35:11,733 --> 01:35:13,966
So racing around Mount Fuji, proper drift, sort

900
01:35:13,966 --> 01:35:16,533
of column the cray, S rally sort of racing.

901
01:35:17,333 --> 01:35:19,100
It's yeah, it's really good.

902
01:35:19,100 --> 01:35:19,800
You'll really enjoy it.

903
01:35:19,800 --> 01:35:20,800
If you've got previous ones,

904
01:35:20,800 --> 01:35:21,766
it's just more of the same.

905
01:35:22,233 --> 01:35:25,300
Just one of my favorite series ever.

906
01:35:25,733 --> 01:35:27,633
And I think it's one of the

907
01:35:27,633 --> 01:35:29,566
best feeling games as well.

908
01:35:30,199 --> 01:35:32,300
As long as it's got that, that

909
01:35:32,300 --> 01:35:35,366
feel of speed and control as well.

910
01:35:35,566 --> 01:35:38,199
I think it's just one of the best games that

911
01:35:38,199 --> 01:35:39,533
you can play on a game pad

912
01:35:39,899 --> 01:35:42,399
that allows you to feel the car.

913
01:35:42,800 --> 01:35:44,133
It's just, I love it.

914
01:35:44,133 --> 01:35:45,199
I know it's not realistic.

915
01:35:45,199 --> 01:35:48,399
I know it's not, you know, Gran Turismo or

916
01:35:48,399 --> 01:35:50,866
whatever, but it's just so

917
01:35:50,866 --> 01:35:52,800
much fun and so visceral.

918
01:35:53,699 --> 01:35:54,100
Yeah, fun.

919
01:35:54,733 --> 01:35:55,399
Yeah, that's it.

920
01:35:55,399 --> 01:35:56,366
That's what you want from a game.

921
01:35:57,033 --> 01:35:58,500
Yeah, that's what game is.

922
01:35:58,500 --> 01:35:59,800
You're not having fun, you're doing it wrong.

923
01:36:00,500 --> 01:36:00,733
Yeah.

924
01:36:02,699 --> 01:36:03,300
So yeah, that's sort of

925
01:36:03,300 --> 01:36:04,433
what I've played recently.

926
01:36:05,233 --> 01:36:06,366
Yeah, I'm enjoying it.

927
01:36:06,899 --> 01:36:07,366
Mors is good.

928
01:36:08,633 --> 01:36:10,966
Okay, Elle, I'm gonna come back to you because

929
01:36:10,966 --> 01:36:12,500
I really haven't got anything.

930
01:36:14,066 --> 01:36:14,333
I don't know.

931
01:36:14,833 --> 01:36:17,000
I mean, I could just randomly pick something up

932
01:36:17,000 --> 01:36:18,966
and start talking about it, but then I'm gonna

933
01:36:18,966 --> 01:36:20,199
start losing content for my-- I've got so many

934
01:36:20,199 --> 01:36:20,766
things that are collected.

935
01:36:21,433 --> 01:36:22,233
Okay, go on then.

936
01:36:23,000 --> 01:36:25,199
So speaking of gun, speaking of gun terms,

937
01:36:26,100 --> 01:36:28,933
there's a gun game coming out that reminded me,

938
01:36:30,000 --> 01:36:32,899
I do like games where you get

939
01:36:32,899 --> 01:36:35,133
to play in a big mech again.

940
01:36:35,933 --> 01:36:38,300
Hailing from the Mech Warriors 3 game.

941
01:36:38,633 --> 01:36:40,866
So I will purchase this game.

942
01:36:41,433 --> 01:36:45,100
If you bring me combat either with giant

943
01:36:45,100 --> 01:36:49,699
monsters or in a big robot, sign me up.

944
01:36:50,000 --> 01:36:50,466
I understand.

945
01:36:51,100 --> 01:36:53,933
I will get in the robot, get out of my way.

946
01:36:55,433 --> 01:36:57,699
This could be from my early years of just

947
01:36:57,699 --> 01:36:59,066
absolutely main lining,

948
01:36:59,066 --> 01:37:00,666
like Neon Genesis Evangelion.

949
01:37:00,666 --> 01:37:03,566
I'm like, "Big robot, I love it."

950
01:37:05,033 --> 01:37:07,633
So that'll be big, that'll be big.

951
01:37:09,300 --> 01:37:13,533
So there's loads of games to be excited about.

952
01:37:13,533 --> 01:37:17,399
If you haven't seen the announcements, do have

953
01:37:17,399 --> 01:37:20,399
a quick cursory browse, particularly if you've

954
01:37:20,399 --> 01:37:22,100
got games where you're like,

955
01:37:22,100 --> 01:37:23,199
"Oh, I really like this developer."

956
01:37:24,266 --> 01:37:28,366
If you've been traumatized by Spiritfarer, the

957
01:37:28,366 --> 01:37:30,866
team that made Spiritfarer making a new game, I

958
01:37:30,866 --> 01:37:31,366
think they're doing

959
01:37:31,366 --> 01:37:32,466
something a little bit different.

960
01:37:32,833 --> 01:37:34,733
Thank God, because I don't think I've

961
01:37:34,733 --> 01:37:37,899
emotionally recovered from Spiritfarer.

962
01:37:39,066 --> 01:37:41,399
But a game that I've played that I would like

963
01:37:41,399 --> 01:37:44,399
to talk about still wakes the deep.

964
01:37:47,399 --> 01:37:51,699
Oil rig, Scottish people, Eldritch horrors.

965
01:37:53,000 --> 01:37:54,899
voice acting for this game I

966
01:37:54,899 --> 01:37:56,699
will preface with is Immacula.

967
01:37:58,033 --> 01:38:00,800
It's so well produced.

968
01:38:01,933 --> 01:38:05,366
The writing is so good.

969
01:38:06,133 --> 01:38:07,233
The way that this

970
01:38:07,233 --> 01:38:11,300
scenario is introduced, top tier.

971
01:38:11,966 --> 01:38:16,133
I feel like they have a really good nail on

972
01:38:16,133 --> 01:38:19,366
atmosphere, building tension.

973
01:38:20,100 --> 01:38:23,233
It's such a well crafted game.

974
01:38:24,399 --> 01:38:27,500
I absolutely loved it.

975
01:38:27,966 --> 01:38:28,766
Absolutely loved it.

976
01:38:28,766 --> 01:38:31,733
There are watery bits that I

977
01:38:31,733 --> 01:38:33,300
had to push myself through.

978
01:38:33,533 --> 01:38:34,199
Not found a water.

979
01:38:35,100 --> 01:38:39,066
Water is one of the last bastions of horror

980
01:38:39,066 --> 01:38:40,600
that still make me uncomfortable.

981
01:38:42,366 --> 01:38:44,600
But what a game, what a

982
01:38:44,600 --> 01:38:47,166
cracking surprise of a game.

983
01:38:47,566 --> 01:38:50,466
Because I never thought that something like

984
01:38:50,466 --> 01:38:52,033
this would come out, a

985
01:38:52,033 --> 01:38:53,866
little bit out of the blue.

986
01:38:55,199 --> 01:39:00,133
There's some really interesting topics that are

987
01:39:00,133 --> 01:39:04,633
explored in it, but they don't detract from the

988
01:39:04,633 --> 01:39:06,166
Eldritch Horror element.

989
01:39:07,300 --> 01:39:09,600
You play, like it's been a little while since

990
01:39:09,600 --> 01:39:10,433
I've played it, but you

991
01:39:10,433 --> 01:39:12,399
play as like an electrician.

992
01:39:12,966 --> 01:39:15,533
Who's like on one of these rigs, who has gone

993
01:39:15,533 --> 01:39:19,033
out there against the wishes of his partner.

994
01:39:19,466 --> 01:39:20,300
His partner's like, oh,

995
01:39:20,300 --> 01:39:21,633
you've got to stay home and fix it.

996
01:39:22,366 --> 01:39:23,399
Someone's insulted her.

997
01:39:23,966 --> 01:39:25,600
He smashed him over the head or something,

998
01:39:25,899 --> 01:39:27,633
kicked his teeth in and he's

999
01:39:27,633 --> 01:39:29,100
basically running from the police.

1000
01:39:29,100 --> 01:39:30,466
He's like, I'm dealing with this.

1001
01:39:30,800 --> 01:39:31,899
I'm going to my old rig.

1002
01:39:32,500 --> 01:39:33,633
I'm going to get paid.

1003
01:39:35,133 --> 01:39:35,733
Is it McCready?

1004
01:39:36,233 --> 01:39:37,866
McCready, get to my office.

1005
01:39:37,866 --> 01:39:38,333
Yeah, Kaz McCready.

1006
01:39:40,133 --> 01:39:46,699
And there is a really interesting, like layers

1007
01:39:46,699 --> 01:39:47,866
of character development

1008
01:39:48,100 --> 01:39:49,899
with this very everyday person.

1009
01:39:50,166 --> 01:39:51,466
And again, small stories.

1010
01:39:51,699 --> 01:39:52,966
We love small stories.

1011
01:39:54,100 --> 01:39:57,899
Is introduced into this very high stakes,

1012
01:39:59,433 --> 01:40:03,966
like non Euclidean scenario in which he has to

1013
01:40:03,966 --> 01:40:09,366
choose the most unselfish choice that one could

1014
01:40:09,366 --> 01:40:10,833
ever be forced to make.

1015
01:40:11,733 --> 01:40:14,066
And it is fascinating to see the lead up to

1016
01:40:14,066 --> 01:40:16,866
this person making the ultimate sacrifice in

1017
01:40:16,866 --> 01:40:18,466
order to keep the people that he

1018
01:40:18,466 --> 01:40:19,966
loves and the people at home safe.

1019
01:40:22,300 --> 01:40:22,933
What a wrong.

1020
01:40:23,866 --> 01:40:25,000
So I'm reading the synopsis now.

1021
01:40:25,600 --> 01:40:26,133
There's a monster.

1022
01:40:26,433 --> 01:40:28,733
Is it a monster that is sort of after you?

1023
01:40:28,800 --> 01:40:33,266
Well, so oil rig, drilling down

1024
01:40:34,533 --> 01:40:36,733
and it hits something.

1025
01:40:39,500 --> 01:40:41,133
Spoiler alert, it ain't oil.

1026
01:40:43,733 --> 01:40:50,366
And so this is not to say that it is the same

1027
01:40:50,733 --> 01:40:53,866
as, but it has similar vibes in terms of its

1028
01:40:53,866 --> 01:40:55,133
effect on people when

1029
01:40:55,133 --> 01:40:56,366
you think about dead space

1030
01:40:57,633 --> 01:40:59,633
and the like the artifact.

1031
01:41:00,033 --> 01:41:02,100
I can't remember the specific word for it, but

1032
01:41:02,100 --> 01:41:04,133
it tends to like warp people.

1033
01:41:05,366 --> 01:41:08,566
So it makes people turn into monsters.

1034
01:41:09,600 --> 01:41:13,833
So there's a really good part, which is quite

1035
01:41:13,833 --> 01:41:16,233
near the front of the game, where you see

1036
01:41:16,233 --> 01:41:18,899
someone go down in a diving bell to have a look

1037
01:41:18,899 --> 01:41:21,199
and see, oh, you know, the drill stopped

1038
01:41:21,199 --> 01:41:25,800
working, like why they send him down.

1039
01:41:26,500 --> 01:41:28,866
He does not come back the same man.

1040
01:41:28,899 --> 01:41:30,633
I'm sure this was an X-Files episode.

1041
01:41:32,600 --> 01:41:33,133
That's the thing.

1042
01:41:33,366 --> 01:41:35,533
So there's only so many

1043
01:41:35,533 --> 01:41:37,333
stories that we can tell.

1044
01:41:37,633 --> 01:41:38,600
However, the way that it's

1045
01:41:38,600 --> 01:41:41,199
packaged and told can be very different.

1046
01:41:41,899 --> 01:41:44,933
And I feel that it does borrow from classics.

1047
01:41:46,433 --> 01:41:48,533
There's always the thing like, oh, you know,

1048
01:41:48,533 --> 01:41:49,533
like the thing, can you

1049
01:41:49,533 --> 01:41:50,466
trust what you're seeing?

1050
01:41:50,533 --> 01:41:51,733
Can you trust who you know?

1051
01:41:52,933 --> 01:41:54,000
Have the people that you've

1052
01:41:54,000 --> 01:41:55,666
known been replaced by something?

1053
01:41:56,500 --> 01:41:58,266
What is a monster and what is a man?

1054
01:41:59,500 --> 01:42:04,399
And it's fascinating for me at least to think,

1055
01:42:04,600 --> 01:42:07,699
oh, have these people, like do these people

1056
01:42:07,699 --> 01:42:09,199
still exist within what

1057
01:42:09,199 --> 01:42:10,266
they've been turned into?

1058
01:42:10,866 --> 01:42:12,699
Or are they something completely new?

1059
01:42:13,800 --> 01:42:16,100
Is what you're doing a kindness?

1060
01:42:17,100 --> 01:42:19,899
Or are you becoming monstrous in your choices

1061
01:42:20,133 --> 01:42:23,000
in order to overcome the monsters?

1062
01:42:24,566 --> 01:42:26,000
Yeah, I think it's a fascinating ride.

1063
01:42:26,300 --> 01:42:27,600
I definitely think it is

1064
01:42:27,600 --> 01:42:29,800
worthwhile, especially if it's on sale.

1065
01:42:30,233 --> 01:42:31,733
It's such a cracker of a game.

1066
01:42:33,633 --> 01:42:33,800
Good.

1067
01:42:35,533 --> 01:42:37,000
In my view, there's two

1068
01:42:37,000 --> 01:42:37,833
different types of games.

1069
01:42:37,833 --> 01:42:41,533
There's games with amazing stories and a way

1070
01:42:41,533 --> 01:42:42,966
to, oh, still makes the deep.

1071
01:42:43,633 --> 01:42:48,899
And a way to touch your inner soul in ways that

1072
01:42:48,899 --> 01:42:50,600
you've never experienced before.

1073
01:42:51,233 --> 01:42:53,333
And then there's games with good mechanics

1074
01:42:54,699 --> 01:42:56,300
that are just fun to play.

1075
01:42:58,033 --> 01:42:59,733
I think we came from very different worlds.

1076
01:43:01,100 --> 01:43:01,600
I know.

1077
01:43:02,399 --> 01:43:03,866
I say that, I do like it.

1078
01:43:04,133 --> 01:43:04,933
I love a good story.

1079
01:43:06,033 --> 01:43:06,233
Yeah.

1080
01:43:07,300 --> 01:43:11,600
So I love stories for my sins.

1081
01:43:12,300 --> 01:43:13,633
My degree was in English

1082
01:43:13,633 --> 01:43:15,166
literature and creative writing.

1083
01:43:16,133 --> 01:43:19,033
So I love the art of

1084
01:43:19,033 --> 01:43:20,600
telling a tale, spinning the iron.

1085
01:43:21,699 --> 01:43:23,633
And I feel that video games is such an

1086
01:43:23,633 --> 01:43:27,333
interesting medium through which to play or at

1087
01:43:27,333 --> 01:43:28,533
least distribute stories.

1088
01:43:29,533 --> 01:43:33,866
Because what book have you read suddenly shuts

1089
01:43:33,866 --> 01:43:35,899
itself when you're reading Too Slow Man?

1090
01:43:36,966 --> 01:43:37,733
You can't get to this.

1091
01:43:37,733 --> 01:43:38,699
You can't get to this yet.

1092
01:43:38,966 --> 01:43:39,966
You're not ready for this.

1093
01:43:40,500 --> 01:43:43,000
Whereas video games can have such an

1094
01:43:43,000 --> 01:43:46,000
interesting way of feeding you a story or

1095
01:43:46,000 --> 01:43:46,966
feeding you a narrative.

1096
01:43:47,800 --> 01:43:51,366
And then especially with games like BioShock

1097
01:43:52,000 --> 01:43:55,166
where you have participatory story.

1098
01:43:56,166 --> 01:43:58,533
So you can choose to read

1099
01:43:58,533 --> 01:44:01,633
notes or listen to audio logs.

1100
01:44:02,633 --> 01:44:03,800
And you very much pick how

1101
01:44:03,800 --> 01:44:06,333
much, oh, BioShock's a classic.

1102
01:44:07,500 --> 01:44:11,800
BioShock has one of my favorite

1103
01:44:11,800 --> 01:44:15,133
creepy little gremlin weirdos.

1104
01:44:15,600 --> 01:44:16,800
It's like a plastic surgeon

1105
01:44:16,800 --> 01:44:19,000
has some of the best lines.

1106
01:44:20,399 --> 01:44:21,866
Honestly, great moment.

1107
01:44:22,100 --> 01:44:23,266
If you can just, you

1108
01:44:23,266 --> 01:44:24,600
don't even need to play it.

1109
01:44:24,600 --> 01:44:25,800
Like find the clip on YouTube.

1110
01:44:26,000 --> 01:44:30,899
Like plastic surgeon BioShock is so, so tense.

1111
01:44:31,399 --> 01:44:32,033
And you're just like, oh

1112
01:44:32,033 --> 01:44:34,399
God, what is this man doing?

1113
01:44:35,033 --> 01:44:35,866
Where has he gone?

1114
01:44:36,366 --> 01:44:37,100
He's in the water.

1115
01:44:37,633 --> 01:44:38,500
He's in the walls.

1116
01:44:40,633 --> 01:44:41,500
Great, love it.

1117
01:44:42,066 --> 01:44:44,233
I think the games, video games are

1118
01:44:44,233 --> 01:44:46,866
a great way to explore narratives.

1119
01:44:47,733 --> 01:44:52,033
I think for a lot of people, like God of War

1120
01:44:52,033 --> 01:44:53,000
has been like a very, very

1121
01:44:53,000 --> 01:44:55,699
touching narrative particularly recently.

1122
01:44:55,733 --> 01:44:56,133
Yeah, yeah.

1123
01:44:57,699 --> 01:45:00,199
There's another game that's come out where

1124
01:45:00,199 --> 01:45:03,333
there's like the guy and there's the robot

1125
01:45:03,333 --> 01:45:05,100
girl, the AI little girl.

1126
01:45:06,033 --> 01:45:08,033
I don't know what, I can't remember off the top

1127
01:45:08,033 --> 01:45:11,600
of the head what the game is called, but that

1128
01:45:11,600 --> 01:45:13,600
has like themes of like parenthood.

1129
01:45:14,366 --> 01:45:17,533
So a lot of people are feeling like, oh, you

1130
01:45:17,533 --> 01:45:18,733
know, I'm feeling emotions.

1131
01:45:19,033 --> 01:45:20,033
Like why do I care for

1132
01:45:20,033 --> 01:45:21,433
the tiny pixelated person?

1133
01:45:22,233 --> 01:45:23,166
That was also a film.

1134
01:45:24,466 --> 01:45:25,899
I was gonna say, yeah, same as well.

1135
01:45:26,366 --> 01:45:27,500
There are many films.

1136
01:45:27,699 --> 01:45:28,533
There's the recent one that's

1137
01:45:28,533 --> 01:45:30,899
come out with the kid that's AI.

1138
01:45:31,100 --> 01:45:33,100
And then there's the other older

1139
01:45:33,100 --> 01:45:35,333
film which is where the kid is AI.

1140
01:45:36,133 --> 01:45:39,066
Yeah, loads of stories.

1141
01:45:39,066 --> 01:45:41,333
But again, like I think it's really interesting

1142
01:45:41,333 --> 01:45:42,800
when people touch on like

1143
01:45:42,800 --> 01:45:44,866
humanity, what it is to be human.

1144
01:45:45,699 --> 01:45:48,300
And for me particularly the monstrous,

1145
01:45:50,000 --> 01:45:50,766
what is a monster?

1146
01:45:51,066 --> 01:45:51,966
Who are monsters?

1147
01:45:52,766 --> 01:45:55,300
Are they made or are they developed over time?

1148
01:45:55,500 --> 01:45:55,966
Who knows?

1149
01:45:56,966 --> 01:45:58,300
Well, if you want the complete opposite to that

1150
01:45:58,300 --> 01:46:00,433
Rayman legend retold is coming out on.

1151
01:46:00,699 --> 01:46:01,866
Rayman.

1152
01:46:03,100 --> 01:46:04,699
I bloody love the Rayman legends games.

1153
01:46:04,733 --> 01:46:06,733
The music is so catchy.

1154
01:46:07,133 --> 01:46:08,233
Bright colors, jumping

1155
01:46:08,233 --> 01:46:09,899
around, lots of chaos going on.

1156
01:46:10,433 --> 01:46:11,100
Just a bit of fun.

1157
01:46:12,100 --> 01:46:13,733
That was announced at the Nintendo Direct.

1158
01:46:15,199 --> 01:46:16,633
That's a video game for me then.

1159
01:46:17,233 --> 01:46:18,133
I do like a story.

1160
01:46:18,366 --> 01:46:19,000
I do like a story.

1161
01:46:19,000 --> 01:46:20,600
And I do like crafting stories myself.

1162
01:46:20,600 --> 01:46:22,366
That's something you do in, you know, all you

1163
01:46:22,366 --> 01:46:25,033
should do if you make YouTube videos is make a

1164
01:46:25,033 --> 01:46:26,133
story because that's a good

1165
01:46:26,133 --> 01:46:28,100
way to keep people engaged.

1166
01:46:28,533 --> 01:46:31,033
But in video games, I like, I don't know.

1167
01:46:32,000 --> 01:46:34,233
I'm trying to think of video games that I've

1168
01:46:34,233 --> 01:46:37,199
played with a story that even when I've played

1169
01:46:37,199 --> 01:46:41,333
like Fallout, you get all of the backstory you

1170
01:46:41,333 --> 01:46:42,066
find on the monitor

1171
01:46:42,066 --> 01:46:43,433
things going all around them.

1172
01:46:43,433 --> 01:46:45,866
I'm just like, do I have to read this?

1173
01:46:47,600 --> 01:46:49,266
Shoot nails into someone's face.

1174
01:46:50,233 --> 01:46:51,699
Skip in the dialogue like this.

1175
01:46:53,733 --> 01:46:55,466
Get out of the way.

1176
01:46:55,666 --> 01:46:56,366
I'm here to play the game.

1177
01:46:58,199 --> 01:47:00,100
I'm here to shoot things and influence people.

1178
01:47:02,399 --> 01:47:03,699
Podcast title right there.

1179
01:47:05,699 --> 01:47:07,199
All right, so I think we're gonna wrap this up

1180
01:47:07,199 --> 01:47:10,066
now and we'll move on to other things.

1181
01:47:10,066 --> 01:47:11,000
We're gonna try and play some

1182
01:47:11,000 --> 01:47:12,766
games between now and the next episode.

1183
01:47:13,133 --> 01:47:15,033
Actually, I don't think Ross or

1184
01:47:15,033 --> 01:47:16,300
El are gonna try and play games.

1185
01:47:16,300 --> 01:47:17,466
They just naturally do it.

1186
01:47:17,466 --> 01:47:18,966
I'm gonna try to play a game.

1187
01:47:19,266 --> 01:47:20,733
I have got a really good idea

1188
01:47:21,133 --> 01:47:22,733
of the game that I want to play.

1189
01:47:23,500 --> 01:47:29,199
But it's the second part.

1190
01:47:29,199 --> 01:47:32,933
It's the sequel that I need to play and I

1191
01:47:32,933 --> 01:47:34,300
haven't played the original.

1192
01:47:34,766 --> 01:47:36,566
So I've got to go and play the original and

1193
01:47:36,566 --> 01:47:39,399
then catch up with the brand new sequel, which

1194
01:47:39,399 --> 01:47:42,000
is, it's got a lovely sweet story, but I'm not

1195
01:47:42,000 --> 01:47:42,866
gonna spoil it anymore.

1196
01:47:44,033 --> 01:47:47,433
So where can people find Ross?

1197
01:47:48,600 --> 01:47:50,166
You can find me on Twitter.

1198
01:47:50,533 --> 01:47:53,500
I am still a resident of Twitter at Rossbell_

1199
01:47:55,100 --> 01:47:56,600
and then I'm on Blue Sky and I

1200
01:47:56,600 --> 01:48:00,666
think my name is therossbell.bluesky.

1201
01:48:00,666 --> 01:48:01,333
I don't know.

1202
01:48:01,633 --> 01:48:03,199
That's what we're gonna call you from now on.

1203
01:48:03,633 --> 01:48:04,233
The Rossbell.

1204
01:48:05,533 --> 01:48:06,899
Yeah, you can find on my other podcasts.

1205
01:48:07,166 --> 01:48:08,500
I tweet about them all the time, so yeah.

1206
01:48:08,766 --> 01:48:11,100
But just like and subscribe, all of the stuff

1207
01:48:11,100 --> 01:48:12,233
we do, because this is the

1208
01:48:12,233 --> 01:48:13,133
most fun one, I'll be honest.

1209
01:48:14,233 --> 01:48:14,433
Excellent.

1210
01:48:15,500 --> 01:48:17,866
El, are you still in cold media?

1211
01:48:19,100 --> 01:48:22,366
Well, I mean, you can message me.

1212
01:48:22,633 --> 01:48:24,666
It's indeterminate whether I'll answer.

1213
01:48:25,833 --> 01:48:29,500
You can find me at escapingIRL or escapinggirl

1214
01:48:29,766 --> 01:48:31,100
or if you shorten it, just El.

1215
01:48:32,433 --> 01:48:33,699
But yeah, the handle at

1216
01:48:33,699 --> 01:48:36,100
escapingIRL on various platforms.

1217
01:48:36,600 --> 01:48:37,000
Tis I.

1218
01:48:37,000 --> 01:48:38,199
She's back on Instagram

1219
01:48:38,199 --> 01:48:39,500
first trapping the boys again.

1220
01:48:39,500 --> 01:48:40,366
Was there pictures of her?

1221
01:48:40,600 --> 01:48:40,866
(Laughing)

1222
01:48:42,399 --> 01:48:44,133
That's on my private one, Ross.

1223
01:48:44,433 --> 01:48:46,366
That's not on my escapingIRL one.

1224
01:48:48,600 --> 01:48:51,833
Excellent, you can find me, I'm Lee, more fun

1225
01:48:51,833 --> 01:48:53,866
making it and more fun fixing it on YouTube.

1226
01:48:54,100 --> 01:48:55,733
You can also find me on Blue Sky as well, but

1227
01:48:55,733 --> 01:48:56,966
just look for more fun

1228
01:48:56,966 --> 01:48:58,333
making it or more fun fixing it.

1229
01:48:58,333 --> 01:48:59,500
And that will lead you to

1230
01:48:59,500 --> 01:49:00,600
all of the important stuff.

1231
01:49:01,000 --> 01:49:03,600
You can also find links to all of this and to

1232
01:49:03,600 --> 01:49:04,600
the Retro Hardware Discord.

1233
01:49:05,033 --> 01:49:09,500
Do you know there's also a retro software club

1234
01:49:09,633 --> 01:49:12,733
or it's called RSC, and it's like a sister

1235
01:49:12,733 --> 01:49:14,633
Discord to the Retro Hardware Discord.

1236
01:49:15,699 --> 01:49:17,866
For people that aren't that interested in

1237
01:49:17,866 --> 01:49:21,033
recapping 45 year old computers.

1238
01:49:21,866 --> 01:49:24,399
So you could also go and do that as well.

1239
01:49:24,399 --> 01:49:26,899
I'll leave a link to all of these different

1240
01:49:26,899 --> 01:49:27,766
places in the description

1241
01:49:27,766 --> 01:49:29,199
and you can find us there.

1242
01:49:31,133 --> 01:49:32,733
I don't think there's anything more to say.

1243
01:49:33,000 --> 01:49:35,733
I want to leave us all on a high note.

1244
01:49:36,199 --> 01:49:39,933
So El, the theme tune please.

1245
01:49:40,233 --> 01:49:40,600
Hit it.

1246
01:49:41,166 --> 01:49:42,366
(Singing)

1247
01:49:46,100 --> 01:49:47,333
It could always be that one.
