Game Mess Mornings 07/08/22

You know me at Dummy Beer. It's the internet. You're busy. Let's
do this for July eight, twenty twenty two. I keep forgetting to update
that at that date, so we'll do that eventually. For the next hour
or so, let me help you sort through the world of gaming on Game
US Mornings Live with me Jeff Grub Today, game stops and competence continues to
hurt good people. And it's been six thousand, four hundred and sixty nine
days since the last Depth zero game was released. That's me correcting the record
after I used a different game to figure out that date last time. Thank
you to Zottel in chat. But first please join me and welcome you today's
co host to Game US Mornings. It's Tamore, Who's saying from a giant
bomb and GameSpot everybody, tam are you doing? I'm good. You know
it's Friday. It's been it was a short week because we had Monday off,
right, and yeah, correct, it still has felt like a full
week. Somehow. It keeps happening to me, like the short weeks come
up and I get excited for them and they don't feel short at all.
That's happened the last like five short weeks. I don't know. Yeah,
I don't really know what's going on. It feels like a trick. I
feel like I'm being loved somehow, and I don't quite know. It's a
trick of Loki where I'm like, I probably just try to fit in the
same amount of work. It's probably what it is. I feel somehow guilty.
Oh, I'm only going to work four days this week because I should
shove in more work. That's what it is. That's definitely what I do,
and it's probably contributing a lot to it. But I'm also working until
the Evening's not a good idea. I don't do that. Yes, be
better, be better than us for sure. I'm like, I'll get to
like this job has a pretty like hard cut off. Jan Wis be like,
oh, enjoy your day. I'm like, thank you, Janitor.
And then I'll go do another one of my jobs where I'm like, oh,
I'm running this, this my own community here. I'll spend some time
with them, and it's like okay, now I'm now I'm working all day
is what it turned into. Yeah, I'm not complain too much what I'm
doing. Yeah, like I do this and then I go and play,
like not play, but like the Twitch stream or something, and I'm saying,
yeah, I'll go and write something. Oh, I'll help someone write
something. I hosten. I'm just like, okay, listen. Yeah,
it's like I kind of I would know how I choose to spend my time,
but it definitely ends up making these Even a four day week can feel
pretty jam packed with stuff. All Right, we're gonna we're gonna get into
this mess. But before we do so, let's talk about this show and
what we do here. Each weekday, I Jeff grab will help piece your

It helps people find the show and we really appreciate it. Okay,
we have a lot to get into, so let's get to the warning mess
starting with game Stop layoffs. This comes from Stephen Totilo at Axios Heat tweeted
the following breaking game Stop cfo is out layoffs across company, including at Game
Stop Proper and Game Informer. Unclear how hard people have been hit, but
doesn't sound small. A number of reductions as per company memo. The first
line of the email to team highlights evolving commerce business and launching blockchain group.
This company seems bad, Tam. This hits some friends of ours over at
at a Game Informer and it's, you know, seems like it was mostly
the younger staff there, which is kind of a shame where it's like it's
hard to get up, it's hard to get your foot in the door in
this industry, and then to have it sort of ripped out from underneath you
is cruel, especially when it comes from a company that seems like, you
know, Game Informer works right. Game Informer something that has worked forever.
People recognize Game Informer. It's a shame that they are paying the price for
a company that doesn't know how to work. It doesn't know how to make
it's whatever fortunes it has turned to its advantage. What do you think the
future is of game Stop as it stands to me? If I'm being completely
honest, I feel like Game Stop has become quite not irrelevant, but like
diminished in its in its capacity as a whatever the hell it does these days.
Like I'm sure people are still going there and the retail is okay.
It's helping it survive, but I don't have any confidence that someone at the
company knows what they're doing. I would and with that in mind, I
would probably say it's largely irrelevant now. The stuff that is keeping it relevant,
it clearly doesn't really understand. I would say Game Informer to a degree
is something that is keeping it relevant at least in a kind of like broader
perspective. It's it's kind of plugged into the industry in a way that no
other you know, part of that bi this is and I don't see the
leadership of game Stop having really any insight into what they need to do and
what is essential for their business to grow. It feels like they're desperately grabbed,
you know, grabbing at straws in the dark to to try and find
some sort of lifeline out there. They're you know, they're just floating right
now, and like all like floundering businesses. The thing that they're doing is
is, you know, attaching themself to blockchain, which categorically is shit and
it will not work and game stop. I I reached the stage where if
you're a business and you're and you're like fucking up left, right, and
center, and then you're like, we're going to blockchain, I look forward
to seeing you fail some days. Yeah, and so then going to blockchain.
What that means is they plan to open up a marketplace for NFTs and
they're they're gonna have some representation of that in their stores. Oh. I
mean, if you hear that, you're like, what does that even mean?
You are on the right path of all of the correct criticisms of what
they're trying to do here, you know, ignore the ignoring the fact that
NFTs are like the you know, the trading of NFTs has plummeted the prices
have plummeted all that stuff. Even in a world where that stuff was like,
you know, maintaining game stop being like we are going to inst o
insert our insert ourselves into the center of these these transactions. It was never
gonna work. That was never going to be something that people were going to
go to like, oh, I am I have a chance of making money
on these NFTs. Let me go to game Stop to make that happen.
But it's just a silly concept from from the ground up. It is like
classically games. It's a perfect indication of that they have no idea what they're
doing. They're talking about getting into NFTs at the same time as NFT interest
is plumbing, and like the marketplace around it is in free fall and it's
like falling apart, and they're like, ware get into NFTs. It's like,
I don't think you know what's going on. It's ridiculous. And if
you manage to get into NFTs, who in their right mind is going to
go, Ah, I will go to game Stop, the place where all
NFTs are traded. No, that's not happening like this. This NFT count
bet is effectively what they're saying is we are going to tape take mainstream awareness
of us being a video game retailer, because that's what games up is,
right, like, its success comes from being a mainstream kind of retailer for
video games. You know, your mom knows what game Stop is, your
grandma knows that if you ever ask for a game, or if they need
to buy a video game or some other video game related paraphernalia, they go
to Game Stop. They are front facing the people's video game retailer. You're
effectively saying that you're going to take that audience and leverage them for NFTs because
the people who really care about NFTs are not coming to you. They're trading
that stuff online in other places. They got their own creepy little corners of
the internet when they do that shit. Yeah no, it's not happening for
you, man. And the cynical look here is they think that they are
that they can capture the energy that was created by the Game Stop meme stock
right where people were like, hey, we're going to fight against this one
group that is trying to short sell game Stop, and if we all come
together, we can fight against that and make some money and turn it into
this meme and to the Moon and all this stuff. I don't think that
if you are a meme that you could turn and be like, hey,
we're all laughing together, aren't we. Guys, Now, let's trade NFTs
with each other at our store and make us part of your trans like they
you're you are the joke there, like whether or not people think they're whether
or not people are actually making money off you or not. Some people made
some money off of that. The whole game Stop a scenario with the you
know, the fighting against the short sell. But even then, it's not
like people who are like, well I truly believe in game Stop or I
have a fondness for game Stop. It is this is a way to fight
the system, and GameStop is just this silly thing into the side, Like
they were never going to be able to transition that into we are inside this
group and a part of them. They were always going to be a meme,
So don't I don't it was bad plan from the beginning. Game Stop
says that they're like they try to like put this stuff into context by saying
they've made over six hundred corporate hire since last year, and they said that
their plan is to invest in store leaders and field employees. Those are just
words like what is that really going to turn into. They've been saying how
they are going to improve the store experience and how they're a store associates are
there their greatest asset for years now And I don't know if anyone's walking into
a game stop recently, it hasn't changed. It's still just this weird mishmash
of games on the on the shelves and then a bunch of Funco pops and
that's kind of that. That's it, and it's just the same as it's
always been so and the store like experts that they're saying that they are,
I'll call to the to the kind of experience austome how they feel about working
there. I can guarantee you most of them will be like, it sucks
here and it's not a good time. Because I know multiple people who have
worked at Game Stuff and they they're all they're kind of like prevailing message has
always been this company don't care about us one bit, So what are you
talking about? Uh? The CFO Mike Racrupero, he was replaced by Diana
j. J. But he was He's only been there for less than a
year He was hired less than a year ago, already out and he was
fired without cause, So he's gonna probably gonna get a pretty pretty big payout.
You're like a huge amount of money, like basically like a leaving an
exit bonus and all this stuff. So it's like they must have really wanted
him out. But this, to me, this just this signals like we
are trying to communicate to investors that we are taking our financial seriously so seriously
that we're ready to kick out this guy we just hired to change course already.
It seems panicky, and it doesn't doesn't fulfill me with confidence that this
company knows what they're going to do next. She's going to continue flowing.
Yeah, it just feels like panic. It feels like they just like they
just have no idea what stought to do anymore, so they're just trying everything.
And I mean, I don't know, like it sucks because there are
loads of people that this company employees that don't deserve anything happening. But like
at the same time, it's the thing is falling apart. So I don't
know, if I was there, I would be looking around and thinking,
shit, man, I should find something else. Just doesn't look good.
And I know that some people don't have the leisure of doing that, which
is the worst part of it. And like going back to you know,
the game informal part of it, that's it's awful because like you know,
those like you said, there's a lot of young people who join who are
now out of the job and they were just starting to make their mark in
the industry and start you know, doing the thing they probably work super hot
to get into. So that sucks. Its hot breaking. And yeah,
thinking of the people who all friends over there that impacted by this, which
this company to fucking trash fire man, it's a trash fire and yeah,
our hearts go out to everyone it was affected by the layoffs, especially if
the team at Game Informer, they're they're out on Twitter. They've been tweeting
about it today. Some of them like, we're told to wait until today
to dimension something. I know, I saw John Carson and some others out
there talking about it today. So give them, well what's just in If
you're any position to give them leads on a potential job, help them out,
do what you can. Yeah, a new Terminator game is on the
way. So by Steve Watts at Game Spot. Then connect presentation ended with
one more surprise, a teaser for an upcoming Terminator game. The brief teaser
showed a menacing T eight hundred Terminator skeleton with the logo for Nacon Studio Milan.
The unnamed Terminator game will be a post apocalyptic survival game set between the
events of Terminator two and the four ration of John Conner's Resistance Movement. The
game will feature its own original story that will draw inspiration from events and portrayed
events that are portrayed in the film franchise. Damn, I gotta say,
you know they're trying. They keep trying to bring back Terminator movies to middling
success at best. I think that when you translate Terminator to games, one
of the best ideas you could probably do is to set it during that future
period and not the past period where it's like we've traveled back to the past
to try to kill John Connor or whatever. Give us that future war or
the future survival thing. I think this is a really good concept for a
video game. What do you think? Yeah, I think it's a good
concept. I just feel like secution might be another thing, right, yeah,
I don't know, man, what was the last good Terminator game?
Uh? Yeah, I think there was that Arcade one with the shooter.
That's the only good one I could think of that there are maybe like and
that's not even amazing. No, it's not. No, I cannot think
of a good Terminator game me yet. Maybe like the one was there one
with RoboCop or whatever, like some cop that's comic, but it's also a
game probably. I don't know though, Yeah, the only one I really
like. Yeah, yeah, the Arcade game is probably, Like I think
that there was like Resistance was the last? No? Is that a movie?
I can't remember. It's so confusing because the thing is like, yeah,
the thing is like, I it's really interesting because like no major studio
seems to have any interest in the Terminator franchise, so it just keeps going
to these random teams that don't really have a pedigree that you're just like,
Okay, hope that you can do this Naken Midlan or whatever. But that's
where we're at, right because like you know, was EA Activision? Are
they gonna like take a license to make a robotcop? But again, no
way in hell are they doing that stuff. Anymore. So we are left
with the Embracers and nay CON's of the world. They have to step up
now, and do we have confidence? We've seen the history of licensed games
and and of like smaller publishers trying to step up, like THHQ is the
one big one that comes to mind where it's like their opportunity to go big
just exploded in their faces and now they don't exist anymore and got sold off
and got transformed a million times. So I get all your hesitation here where
it's like, hey, this is a chance for this publisher to step up
and Nakonvalan to prove their worth, and uh that like if I had to
be a betting man in the situation I bet against them, I would.
I hate to say, can you tell me anything more about Nikon Milan?
No, I can't. I mean, we can look into it, but
I can't off the top of my head. Absolutely not. Also, real
quick, RoboCop Versus Terminator was a sig A CD game, and here,
let's just let's bring it up. I'll just go to it. Let's go
to news Assets Transition. There we go, you go, there, you
go, everybody, there's your RoboCop fighting maybe Terminators. I don't know.
It looks great. I'm gonna play it now because they'll look at that the
background. Yeah, the parallax scrolling always gets me behind the building. So
Nikon Milan previously worked on Rims Racing, which is a simulation racing game for
motorbikes. Okay, so and now they're making the Terminator game. Like,
I don't know, man, Like I hate to discount anyone, Like I'm
sure they're very, very talented, but like you said, if I was
a betting person, I would not bet this is going to be good.
I feel like I don't know who's who's the owner of the Terminate IP is
it Fox? It's gotta be like Fox or something like that. Probably,
Like I just don't think they give a shit, like I am paramount Paramount,
Like I feel like there's no Prestigi around Terminator anymore, sadly, which
is riches, Which is sad because, like, in my heart, Terminator
to one of my favorite movies ever, I think one of the greatest movies
ever made. Like there's I still have a reverence for the franchise, and
I can see that it's got so much potential. But I don't think Paramount
gives a shit. I don't think anyone. I think like it's it's also
kind of weird because who in this day and age, only the people who
are old like us still kind of attached some sort of reverence to Terminator.
Like if you're a youngster right now, it's all you've seen is garbage movies,
even like even like mostly like good franchises like Indiana Jones, they hasn't
had a good one in a long time. Is in that same spot where
it's like, oh, kids don't care about this at all, and I
mean by kids, I mean twenty year olds. Yeah, so it's like,
so of course Terminators in that same situation because it's had a series of
like, at best, like I said, middling movies at best middling really
the one the one decent thing it had was the Sarah Chronicles, right,
that was TV series, Okay, and also at this point pretty old,
right, how old is that's like alast ten years old? Yeah, that's
that's a while ago. Like, so who are they making this for?
Because the people who have the nostalgia for it probably are wised up and know
that this is going to be garbage and that everyone else is like this is
from that franchise that keeps having awful movies, isn't it? And so like
who is it? What's going on? I will say though, again that
like giving me the future world where I have laser guns and I need to
be in the in the post apocalyptic world. And it's not trying to like,
oh, here's Sarah Connor again, like it's just like they are part
of the lore, but you don't have to deal with them in the game.
That stuff could work for me a little bit. Let me ask you,
Okay, go ahead, Yeah, I was gonna say, here's what
you do, right, do it? All right? Love it you.
If I was Paramount, I would pick that, take my big bag of
money and go over to Capcom and be like, hey, we played Resident
Evil to remake. There's a character in there called mister X. Pretty fucking
cool, dude. Can you make a survival horror style game in the future
where you play as a human or maybe even John or Sarah Connor and then
the Terminator is mister X and is always coming for you. Yeah, and
all you got to do is just survive and and and defeat the Terminator.
That is a fucking great concept if I is so good, I'm like because
like the whole idea of the first Terminator, Like when you're following Sarah Connor,
it is a horror film, right, like she is this this this
helpless woman and you know who gets thrown into this extraordinary situation that is a
horror survival horror video game. That's the same description used for I love that.
Well, dam you gotta make that happen. I'm sorry, but now
you gotta leave immediately all playing talk to Capcom make this happen. Do you
think that they're gonna do a Terminator versus RoboCop because Naycon also announced they're working
on RoboCop Rogue City, which is coming to PC and console in June of
twenty twenty three. This is by Aaron Bonthew's at game spot. Nacon has
announced that RoboCop Rogue City will launch on PS five, Xbox Series X and
S, Switch and PC in June twenty twenty three, based on the classic
nineteen eighty seven film. A new trailer for the game debut during nacons Connects
the Nikon Connect event and showed off a few brief brief snippets of gameplay.
Mixed in within game cut scenes. So I'm gonna, I'm gonna let's cut
to this. Let's take a look at this. Now, this this actually
like I'm a little more optimistic because we got a look at gameplay. We
sawesome gameplay. It wasn't like nothing there to truly set the world on fire
up, But I was like, Okay, it looks like they've created a
city. They got powella for it, and you know there's some you know,
cool looking stuff happening. I guess yeah. I think the character models
are kind of like, oh, it looks you know, budget, but
you know, not RoboCop. RoboCop looks fantastic in this game, And I'm
just like, we're playing as RoboCop. Are they going to try to bring
in the satire and to satirize a fascism and you know, urban fascism in
any way, Probably not too much. This is probably just going to be
a RoboCop is cool video game and whatever, like we haven't had. But
if it's good, I'll like forgive a little bit of that, and then
if they ever like followed up, I'm like, okay, now can we
get like, can we dive into what RoboCop is really about So that's the
thing. Let's let's apply the same level of scrutiny to rot the RoboCop game
that we apply to the Yeah, let's keep that game. Uh. This
is being developed it seems like by tai On Taon, and they previously worked
on the Terminator Resistance game and wrote and Rambo the video game which I remember
mixed things, yes, yeah, and other games including Urban Trial, Playground,
Heavy Fire, Shout Out, Spare Third E in One Game Collection Volume
one. Well, they're so hit right there. So again, there's always
a chance to prove that you could do better, but it's like I definitely
want you to prove me wrong. Please, I would love to take the
l publicly on right. And I would love nothing more than a few years
from now whenever these are out being like I cannot believe, like terminate a
game of the RoboCup games. I would love that. I would absolutely love
that. I mean, so far, I'm not bet. If i'm bet,
and if I'm beat and putting down a bet, I'm on my side
in my favorite right. And it's like it's not to say like there's no
obvious path for these games to become good, because I think if you make
these games good, they legit just will sell so much better than they would
otherwise. Word of mouth works really well in games. If these games prove
themselves, like, then there's this company, Nikon can justify having Nikon Connect
shows. And if RoboCup is like they put the time and money into it
to make it something special, that investment should pay off. I don't think
it's and I don't think you can survive in this industry just continue to put
out like basically crap year after year and be like, get more excited for
our crap because we've got better licenses. I think at a certain point you
do have to scale up the quality, and I hope that that is what's
happening with publishers like Nikon and Embracer. We haven't seen the results of that,
yep, the evidence of that yet, but I do think that the
incentives are there to make better games, and hopefully this is the start of
that, but we'll see. And to be fair, like the Terminal Resistance
game was not great, but some people really like it was complete trash,
right, yeah it was. It was like, okay, you know it
did the trick. Here's what you do, Jeff, Please Okay, you
travel back in time to around twenty eleven twenty twelve, now that you can
do this now, and you go to Idos Montreal is of Day Sex Human
Revolution and say we've got the Robotcolled franchise, Make Make one EO Games and
Mary Deamal come back from Byway. Yes, please do this. You're gonna
write it Gardens the Gallas game that's so good that you're gonna go work at
Byeware, but first do this for us. Yes, absolutely, let's see.
Sculling Bones has been given a November release date. This is by Chris
Scullion at VGC. A new cinematic trailer for the game confirms that it will
be released on November eight on PS five, Xbox Series X and S and
PC, Stadia and Luna. It looks a lot like that game that yousof
said it was going to be Forever Ago Tam like they just hey it is.
We're taking the Assassin's Creed black Flags sailing stuff and we are going to
make this an online game where everybody can sail together. Where are you at
with Scalon Bones? So we have to be talking about it a lot recently
because we've been hearing that this date was going to be announced. Tune here
it is and now where are you at. I'm glad that it's it's it's
it's state. I'm glad that it's coming out. I'm glad that we're finally
gonna be able to see the hardwa work of all those developers that they've put
into it. I can't help but feel like it missed its moment. I
feel like it now arrives at a time when one people have pretty much forgotten
its relevance and its connection to the Assassin's Creed franchise, which is probably what
a lot of people would have the kind of like interest point that would have
brought a lot of people in. Excuse me, I feel like people don't
really know what it is anymore. I feel like it's been gone for so
long that they have got so much work to market it right now, and
I feel like the thing that it is now is as a pirate game,
the vibe of it feels off, if you know what I mean, Like
it feels very self serious yea. And in the time that it was gone,
the pirate game multiplayer pirate game market has been kind of cornered by bio
Sea of thieves and it's still this right, like it's inherently silliness, but
also like that has started to happen in cold pop culture broadly speaking, if
you know what I mean. Like pirates as a theme aren't aren't like super
serious anymore. Like obviously we had the Pirates of the Caribbean stuff happening a
while back, but like our flag means Death is now the biggest pirate thing
going around, and it's and it's a little more like light right, It's
it's a little fun, more fun, and it's so there's kind of like
really down with the pole face pirate game that kind of looks last Gen in
a lot of ways. Yeah, I feel like it's got a bit of
an uphill struggle. I'm interested in checking it out, but again, like
I did everything I see of it, there's nothing in me that's like,
oh hell yeah, this is exciting. I can't wait to be pirate.
Yeah, I'm kind of like I need I needed the Assassin's Creed part of
it too, to maybe maybe if they didn't need to skin this game and
make it a one piece game. There you go, Yes, make it
truly thriving. It's silliness. I think that I'm with you where I like,
I just don't know how to like, how to get excited about this
right now. I'll have to hear it. If I have a bunch of
friends who are playing, they're having a great time, maybe, but I
just can't see that happening because of what see If Thieves has provided is we're
all going to get on this boat together and we're all going to work these
different jobs and then one of us is going to start goofing off and it's
going to cause us to fail, and it's gonna be like a really funny
thing. This based on what they've they've shown us here, this game is
not about those interactions. This game is just about going out doing your tasks
and upgrading your character and your boat and all that stuff. And you know,
and that's kind of the loop that they are focusing on, Especially these
trailers. I don't like. Maybe they showed more more of it, but
like the stuff I've watched has been has not emphasized like here are the fun
things you're going to be doing with your friends, even though this game is
very much about going out and sailing in a convoy with a bunch of other
people, Like okay, and this just it feels like they weren't able to
figure out what they wanted from this game, and probably that is the main
reason it's taken so long for them to like finally get it out. And
I also feel like they kind of they kind of backed themselves into a corner
because they you know, Black Flag came out and everyone was like, the
sailing part of this is the best part of it. And then someone went,
we should make this into a game, we should make this into its
own thing, and then it took so long that now everyone's just like no
one cares about that anymore, like that was the thing, and like and
they announced it and they were like, we're making you We heard you love
the sailing, so we're making it now. And now it's taken so long,
and it's like been through such a like a whole rigmarole that they can't
be like we cancel that stuff. They don't feel good about doing that.
Like I think if it was a Nintendo, Nintendo would have been like,
no, we're not making that game anymore. We can't, whereas Zubisoft is
like not in a situation position where they can do that, so they have
to follow through because specifically it is announced it and now they don't want to
take the el so it's just like we've got to follow through. So it
feels like it's just gonna come out and like fizzle away unless it's like maybe
maybe wrong, but like and it's and it's like exceptional, but there's nothing
in here that I'm seeing that is it's like exciting. It feels like people
were into the Pirate Fantasy a few years back and they are no longer into
that, and this just feels like it's like a bit poorly timed. I
you know, I'll give it it's fair shake once it comes out and once
people start playing it. If I hear positive buzz at all, I will
check in on it or maybe there chance i'll check it out, you know
myself, like during a review period or whatever. But I'll give it a
fair shake. Right again again, I always want games to succeed time.
I want this to succeed. I would love nothing more than this to come
out and everyone's like, this is fucking amazing, and then I get obsessed
with it and then everyone's obsessed. I would love that. Yeah, I
would love that. So I hope it does that. I'm just like,
if I'm being realistic, then I'm just not seeing anything that excites me about
it, right, And it totally feels like getting people in check ye pointing
us Like this game was I don't know if it's funded is the right word,
but it definitely had incentives from the Singaporean government to be made by Ubisoft
Singapore, and a lot of those were contingent on them releasing a game.
They had to ship a game, and uh, and so here we are
and they're putting the game out, and it's hard not to like just draw
a line from one point to the other and be like they are putting this
out because they have to, and and everything they've shown us feels like that.
Now it's maybe it's a little bit better than than just like they're shipping
it out to die or whatever, but it definitely still feels like this thing
has been it's not gotten the love and care that I think a lot of
other Ubisoft stuff is getting recently, where like we keep delaying it until we
feel like we can at least get some of our money back, especially after
what happened with that one Tom Clancy game that came out and sort of fizzled
and they're like, oh, we got to delay everything. This doesn't feel
like it's getting that same sort of attention, but whatever we will, we'll
see when it comes out. Stuff happening with GTA six and Red Dead Online
and the other the rock Star Online games. The two stories here. This
first one comes from a Joey Car at game Spot and it's about what GTA
six upcoming. Rock Star outlines GTA Online and Red Dead Online update plans,
but basically just real quick here. Rockstar Games has issued a new community update
for both gt Online Red Dead Online. The update mainly goes over what fans
can expect during the summer of twenty twenty two, but it also lists some
updates coming later this year. For GTA Online, it definitely seems like it's
getting quite a bit more. It will still receive weekly updates, and rock
Stars revealed they'll continue to refine the experience for players over the coming months.
The developers cited they'll add community requested experience improvements and upgrades to accommodate the new
influx of players from recent current gen launches on PS five and Xbox Series X
Slash s. So they are like they're going to keep doing their weekly updates,
and in addition to that, they are looking to make sure that things
are getting even better for that game. Meanwhile, the Red Red Dead Online
is not getting that same love. Unlike GT online, Red Dead Online has
has been considered a barren waste and by many in the community. This is
evident by the fact that players have recently planned a funeral to commemorate the game's
death. While rock Star is still working on Red Done Online to a degree,
the updates announced in the community update are minor at best, which might
be disappointing to those who still enjoy the Western online experience now. This is
followed up by rock Star says major Red Deadline Online updates will stop as it
focuses on GTA six, and this comes from Chris Scollian at VGC. Rockstar
Games has stated that it will be winding down major development on Red Dead Online
as it continues to work on GTA six, and an update on its official
website, the studio noted, as it focuses more of its efforts on the
next GTA, it'll be focusing less on Red Dead Online. Over the past
few years, we have been steadily moving more development resources towards the next entry
in the Grand Theft Auto series, understanding more than ever the needs to exceed
players expectations and for this next entry, it would be the best that possibly
can be. And as a result, we are in the process of making
some changes to how we support Red Dead Online. Basically reading through the lines
there they are sun setting Red Dead Online and moving to g T six and
I'm just not too surprised about that. I think even before these games came
out, I was thinking, like, there's gonna come a time where GT
online is still going and Red Dead Online is fizzling now, and like it's
gonna coup of time when g T A six is back in the top ten
each month, or g T A five it's back in the top ten each
month, and Red Dead two is like slowly falling behind it because GT online
is just so much more appealing to a wider audience. It feels like,
is does this surprise you at all? No? Firstly, who is this
doing on the screen? Oh? Sorry, let me fix that. Yes,
I was like, is this someone important? No? No, that's
a guy that's a good man talk. Oh he's I think he's talking about
that the skull on bones thing exactly alright, goodbye friend, good luck,
good luck, goodbye friends. Yeah, I think this makes a lot of
sense. Like I feel like gt A Online is the all consuming thing.
Now, where is there anything that I'm surprised that Red Dead Online has coexisted
with GTAI Online as long as it has, especially with the amount of the
disparity and success and the kind of the resulting kind of prioritization that no doubt
has happened in within rock style, Like you you look at something like Red
Dead Online and put it out, and I imagine the thinking was, we
will put this out and if it pops off and it is like immediately shows
that it's worth investing in, will ensure that we're giving it the time and
effort and money that it deserves. But like, it's not gonna pop off
in the same way that on GTA Online did next to GTA Online, And
like, I'm surprised that it took them this long to be like, Okay,
we're focusing on GTA online and other projects right now. Red dead is
no longer a thing. I read it online kind of like felt like it
was the bones of something cool, yeah, and they needed to build if
Red Dead Online felt like GTA Online did when it first came out absolutely like
GTAI Online was not great to begin with, and they invested in it and
it became great. But like they needed to do the same wave red Dead
Online. And the difference is when GTA Online was building up, there wasn't
some other thing to go to for fan For fans like they like had to
either go to GTA online or nothing here with Red Dead Online, or we
could just go play GTA online and and yeah, that's so we have that
as an option. That's that seemed to hurt Red Dead Online. It also
feels like they really didn't like rock Starde didn't do the not the work,
but like they didn't put any effort to kind of give it kind of the
shots in the arms that it would have done that it did follow gt like
it didn't have to do much though it worked on they didn't have to do
much with detail Online, like they they just kind of like plugged away at
it and added content and tweaked some things here and there and gave some players
what they had been asking for and overtime it became good. I feel like
most most other services or games experiences like this from other companies would get one
or two like major updates to see how it goes, like, but like
we didn't see a Halloween themed undead nightmare or event or anything like that to
kind of like juice the numbers and kind of show what they could do with
it. It was just kind of like, here this game, here as
a foundation of it, here's how you play it, and that's it.
And then they released some packs and some other money making kind of updates,
and then it kind of just that was it. And I think like the
problems that it had to begin with weren't resolved as far as I remember.
There was a whole like thing around the gold and the economy and that kind
of stuff that was like a messed up agin with They just didn't return to
or fix or anything like that, at least not when I was like keeping
an eye on it. And it's just kind of fizzled away and it makes
perfect and that they would be like, yeah, we're done with this,
this is this is Oh yes, I agree like that. At a certain
point, it's like, you know, you have to split your resources in
such a way that it's like what makes the most sense for us in the
five years from now, what do we wish we would have invested in today
five years from now, and they're gonna say GTA six and GTA online over
right Dada Online in every situation when it comes to that. So yeah,
I know, people really liked some what a lot of stuff that right dad
Online was doing, but it was just like, it's it's gonna be so
much work to get that up to speed, and at a certain point that's
just not worth it. Elden Rings Let Me Solo Her gets a real sword
from Bandai Namcos by Grace ben Fell at game Spot, Elden rings most famous
cooperative player, let Me Solo Her, was gifted a massive box set from
Bandai Namco and from software, including a sword. Let Me Solo Her,
who goes by us to so Be Klein on Twitter posted pictures of the gift
box alongside I Think you knowe to Bandai Namco, the Elden Ring team,
and the Souls Born community. He said that he almost quit his first soul
experienced Dark Souls three during the fight with ludus gun Dar gun Deer. How
do I say that I think ludex gun Deer, but that he is glad
he persisted because this community is one of the most passionate and dedicated a group
of people I've ever seen in gaming, and I'm proud to be a part
of it. Have you have you seen this sword, Tam. It's pretty
good. I think it's actually a sword that they sent out to a bunch
of influences, So it's not like a sword that they created specifically for him.
I would if they did that, they would they would have to be
creating deal katanas for him because that's the Yes, that's the that's what he
wields in game. Right, Yeah, I think they I think I saw
a bunch of influences get this sword, not me though, Then he give
me this is it's a it's Millennia sword. Is how you say your name?
Millennia? Is that a sword? I don't having that sword? That's
okay, wakait let me see here. Let's read here. It says the
box of self features. They wouldn't sculpted portrait. Okay, it's a portrait
of Millennia as apost poster map of limb Grave, a cloak similar to the
one Melina wears in the game. A note from Bandai Namco featuring an adorable
sketch of let me solo hers in game character and a sword with the text
Rise tarnished on the blade. So it's just a generic sort I think,
but once you can pick up in the game, that makes sense. Yeah,
it's it's very cool that they did this. I'm glad they reached that
to him. This this this has been like a fun story within the Ring
community, like let me solo her and and like it's it's it's good to
see Bandai Namco from software kind of like recognizing that the people in the community
and kind of talking to them and interfacing with them and being aware of what's
going on. I'm happy for this person, Like it's it's awesome. Yeah,
it's like I mean they you know, they this kind of player makes
the entire community better, makes it gives us like a hero story to root
for and stuff like that. It's the kind of thing that makes being part
of a community better. So that's like they're rewarding them. And this result
in some really fun stuff as well. Like I was playing and I went
to the boss area outside of Millennia and someone let me solo myself the other
day and this person dressed exactly like let me Solo her proceeded to run into
the battle and kill himself. I was like, that's good, that's good.
That's very fun. That's good stuff. So there's like loads of spinoff
let me solos and you can go most most boss fights that are tricky in
Elden Ring, if you go there, you'll have a variant of let me
solo her there like that isn't isn't the actual person And it's just fun.
It's cute. Like it's good. That's exactly right. It's cute. It's
cool to be like a part of it and like to follow the story as
it expands and stuff. It's it's good stuff. Quest two will no longer
require a Facebook account from next Starting next month, it's by David Heeney at
upload vr. Meta headsets will no longer require a Facebook account from next month.
In August, Meta will begin rolling out meta accounts, which can be
used to set up meta headsets. You'll still be able to link your Facebook
account to your meta account to message and call Facebook friends from inside of your
this is no longer required. So it's a little bit of a you know,
well, what's the difference here, because you don't need a Facebook account,
but you will still need a Meta account, Meta being the parent company
of Facebook. Either way, Facebook is having your data exactly. Oh my
god, I it's bizarre. I hate opening my quest and having like my
Facebook friends and exactly popping up. I'm like, what is going on?
I'm trying to escape this horrible reality? You not. I have my Facebook
friends following me around being like, hey, look at this right, and
it's like, so like here's a little bit of a graphic that tries to
explain it. It's like, so the meta Horizon profile will have your user
name, profile, name, profile, photo, avatar, and activity status,
and then optional will be your real name policy from Facebook and social media
profile. I think, yes, this is still stinks. But as long
as I can, like just make sure I cut off the Facebook stuff so
I don't see those people, I don't see a weird uncle posting stuff about
Donald Trump in there, then then I will be much happier with this,
even if it is effectively still the same thing when it comes to who I'm
sharing my data with. Yeah, absolutely, that'll that'll come next month.
I will I will choose the option to cut off Facebook when given it.
Absolutely the website I never ever ever log into anymore. I have not,
you know, I only ever do it when I need it. For like,
oh, I think I connected my Spotify account to Facebook once upon a
time, so I need a lot of that to get to Spotify or whatever.
I did this thing, which was really satisfying, where I slowly stripped
all my information away from Facebook, where you like remove all of your interests,
you remove all of like your tags, you started deleting your photos,
and you just pare it back to it incredibly bare bones profile where the algorithm
doesn't know what to do. So it's just basically it's really fun because it
just starts begging you to look at it at certain months. So like it
just started being like, hey, your friend is and stuff, and I
was like no, and it's just it's it's hilarious. I do log in
every now and then just to look at my memories because like you know,
obviously there's there's a there's a time when I did use it, and it's
just being like, there's I don't know what my last memory is. I'm
tempted to bring it up and see what was going on, but like it's
usually me watching some sort of TV show or playing some sort of video game
and being like, I am doing this video game. It is awesome.
Yeah, let's look, I'm haven't launched, everybody, I haven't launch.
I'm gonna watch anime later. My memories for today A picture of my cat,
right. Yeah. I posted chance to wrapper and absolts smoke again Blended
Babies remix of course. Yeah. I posted a picture of solid snake because
that is what I do, apparently, and and that is it pointless.
Yeah, let's see. Inscription is coming to PlayStation consoles by Louis good Pierrez.
This is at game Spot. Daniel Mullins, the creator of Inscription,
has confirmed that the card based roguelike is coming to PlayStation four and PlayStation five.
Mullins shared the announcement on the PlayStation blog through a release date, though
a release date has yet to be revealed. Inscription was previously released on PC
back in October twenty twenty one, and had recently been released for both Mac
and Lennox. Playstatione users will also receive exclusive features end game, including a
talking, talking Stoke card that will play audio from your controller. In addition
to the stoke card, haptic feedback will be implemented to give a more immersive
experience. I gotta say, Tams something about the idea of the card that
I'm holding my hand, actually speaking through my hand. It's one of the
first times like that speaker really like the idea of something only coming out of
the speak areas like super appealing to me. But I don't know beyond that.
Hey, Inscription is a good game. More people should play that.
Yeah, it's a fun game. I never completed it. I got stuck
in the I did the card phase of it. Stuck in the card phase
of it. I I did some fights that felt really cheap, and I
was like, I don't like this, yeah right now, but I think
I'm going to go back to it when it comes out on Weirdly, it
feels like this is going to make no sense, but I get a cozy
game vibe from Inscription. It's just it doesn't make sense. But I don't
like being at my computer and like in that game, I want to be
like on a couch, big TV lights off, under a blanket and like
build a vibe if you know what I mean. Well, I think it's
like like actually being in the cabin in game almost makes me want to like
go to a cabin and play it on like a Steam decker. Yeah,
there needs to be some sort of phrase that is cozy game, but designed
for people who want to be spooked by a game, like speaking cozy game,
that's what I want. I want to be like, I want the
ambiance of inscription as well as the kind of thing happening on screen. So
this, this makes this is exciting for me because then I know that I
can drop download it on my PS five and like play it in my my
actual theater still set up instead of a PC desk. Kind of cozy cozy.
So yeah, and I'm glad more people get a chance to play.
It's a game I loved a lot when I was first playing it, and
sort of fall out of love a little bit as time went on, but
it's still a really good game. Yeah, let's see. Nintendo is adding
Pokemon Puzzle League to Switch Onlines Nintendo sixty four library next week on July fifteenth.
It'll hit there. This is the first game that they've released after getting
through that schedule of games that they previously announced. So it was the last
one, Pokemon Snap that was the last game. Like, hey, we're
gonna put out a bunch of games here's the list. Then after a certain
point they had no more games left. Well, they're gonna keep up with
this schedule of one Nintendo sixty four game per month, it seems like based
on the fact that they're releasing this this month. I love Pokemon Puzzle League,
so I'm glad that it'll get a chance. I think online play,
like two player support, you know, head to head play with that sounds
super fun and I'm just spend a lot of time with that. Actually,
I think, yeah, this is good, this is a good game for
people really get excited about. I've not been playing close attention to the Switch
online kind of like NCC four stuff, but I should go back to it
and dip in and see, Yeah, there's there's been some good stuff at
it, but like there's still like a lot of big gaps like ten eighty
Snowboarding and Wave Race and Excite Black sixty four and a lot of that stuff
is still not on there. So I'm hoping that they announced soon that they
have a little like all those games coming. I hope they figure that out.
Those games have been on like virtual console before, so I'm hopeful.
Yeah, welcome on Puzzle League. Looking at it, just makes me miss
columns. Remember columns? Oh yeah, I'm yeah, I played a lot
of columns on Genesis with my friend at his house. Yeah, how do
the game that's a good game? PlayStation plus Extra, Premium, Extra and
Premium are adding a grip of games before the end of the month. This
is according to a leaker Black Black Bait on Reset Era. The games include
Crash Bandicoot four, Arcade to Get In, Man of Madon Stray, Final,
Fantasy seven Remake, Integrate Plus Intermission ac and the Verius Assassin's Creed games,
Black Flag, Unity, Rogue re Mastered, Freedom Cry, the Azio
Collection, and then Saints Row four Reelected. It was it was at CEO.
There we go at CEO Collections. Yeah, I'm like what that like?
That name's not right? Yeah? Uh so, Yeah, I mean
I was hopeful that they would add a bunch of games. I still kind
of need to hear what they're going to add in terms of the classic games
though. That's where I'm like, okay, listen, I'm this is also
they are doing a great job with their new games that they're adding here.
Crash Bandicoot for Stray coming on what seems like day one or something. That
stuff is fantastic, but I still want them to beef up their classic options.
Yeah for sure, I definitely need way more classic that stop that classic.
All those classic games came out and I just didn't care about any of
them. Yeah, there's the only handful that would be like really excited to
try. And I'm like, I'll just play themself in the way on my
Steam decor. I despite what you know, despite my history of it and
my love of it back then, I've got zero interest in playing siefer Felder
again, and like, yeah that was like everything else, I'm just like,
Okay, that's fine, yep. And it's like there's like only one
game from the PSP and stuff like that. There's a ton more they could
add, and hopefully they add about this number of games getting added to the
new games. I hope that they would get about this mini for the classic
games as well. That would be fantastic. Meanwhile, people are freaking out
at Jeff Keeley because they're like, oh, are you moving the data around
to ensure that God of or Ragnarrock gets a chance to be in It's Game
of the Year this year. Ragnarrock is launching the same day that Fort Surprison
five did last year and Forts Harrison five was not nominated for a Game of
the Year, and people were like, hey, how dare that happen?
And Ragnarok almost certainly will be. The problem here is that I think that
people are are overlooking, is that Ragnarrok is the kind of game that people
know might be a Game of the year, so everyone's gonna play it immediately
with that in mind, being like, hey, we got to nominate stuff
for Game of the year, do you want to nominate Ragnarok as a very
easy path of like getting in there, where like Forts Harris and five in
a racing game, it had an uphill battle no matter what, Like maybe
it was worthy of being nominated for a Game of the Year, but it
would have required some time to sort of make sure, like that word of
mouth spread and spread among the people who had a chance to nominate it,
and it didn't have time to do that. For sure. It was nominated
for a racing game, though, and racing in sports game, I think,
and I think it won, so it's like it definitely had its a
chance. But it's not like Ragnrock, which like it's almost is guaranteed to
be nominated sort of even if it comes out at the very last minute.
But tam though, does any of this matter really because Elden Rings just kind
of got it sewn up right, so wait for Clara. Yeah, welly
have people mad at jeff about this because they were under the impression that,
like, oh there, he moved the data around of when you can nominate
a game for the Game Awards. But he did not. It's the same
thing. It's just that there's this like weird squishy period I think, where
like things can get in, you can update your ballot or whatever however it
works. But like, yeah, so it was the same date as last
year, nothing changed, But Xbox fans are basically mad, being like you
are favoring Sony by giving them more time. Definitely, Yes, you get
it, you get it now. Yes, he's not doing that. That's
not what's happening here. Yes, okay the Xbox crazy. Yes, yes,
I was like, what the PlayStation crazy he's doing this? One's not
the PlayStation this is the Xbox crazy. First of all, all of you
touchgrass, calm down, leave jeffer On, just just relax. It's like
it's like one Game Awards show. I don't know why people kind of take
it. So yeah, ask anyone who is like working on those games wherever
they care, and and and ask people who vote on them, like how
much time you put into it? Like they are five minutes before lunch one
day, Like that's like it's not that serious, like anyone watches that show
for so yeah, yeah, I mean, like, yeah, this is
the year of Elder Ring. I I still think that obviously, like I
for me, like everyone, the Elder Ring is the game to beat this
year, right, But I still think that there's a lot of potential for
other games to kind of sneak in and challenge it. I think God of
War is one that definitely has the potential. Like that game I think is
going to be good. Like even if they put out a game that is
like just as good as the first entry in there in this new series,
that's still a pretty fucking great game man, And and like I'm excited to
play it. But it makes perfect sense. I think, like you said,
like when when that's a game that once it's available to people who are
going to have some sort of like input into this and and generally, like
the bora of public, they're going to play through it as quickly as possible,
like no one's no one's like meandering and kind of having a nice leisurely
play through of of God of War and a time if they if they think
that they're going to have if they want to vote for this stuff or have
any input in this stuff. They're also like a bunch of other games that
still for me, I like, for me, obviously elin Ring is currently
my Game of the Year, but I'm not one hundred percent settled, Like
I'm not. I'm still looking at games like God of War and Calesso pro
coll to be like are you are you game of the material? Lets you
know, we'll see. And then there's uff like Neon White is out there,
which is like that is a like there's a good argument to be made
for that being game of the Year. I think gets a nomination based on
the moment right now, Yeah, there's there's Honestly, there's a good argument
for Vampire Survivors to be a Game of the Year contender, like and for
different reasons, Like I think that I think that game is incredible and it's
and it's like just probably not on a lot of people's radars, but I
think it's like in my in my list, it's it's up there. And
there's a bunch of other games as well that I'm probably blanking on right now
that are worth you know, considering. But yeah, I think I think
it's people in terms of what's going on. Hair Like people just need to
relax, chill, It'll be fine, right, Yeah, And are the
thing I always say, it's like the Game of the Year is just about
like like having conversations that about games you like, and so search seek those
conversations out and don't worry so much about what's going to happen at the Keili's.
Like you can just have conversations with your friends instead, and you guys
decide which what is your own favorite game of year? Going to find a
discord and have your own personal game of the year discussion. That'll be way
better use of your time than getting, you know, fretting about what's going
to happen with a bunch of you know, journalists voting on their other awards
show that isn't their own award show. Like it's yeah, it's just not
that important. Yeah, let's get to the poll from yesterday. See do
you want to go to an e three that is more like a PAS.
This one split right down the middle. Forty nine point eight percent said yes,
fifty point two percent said no. I'm I think I get this because
I think there's a lot of people out there like, yeah, that like,
if it's more entertaining for the public, it will be a better use
of my my my budget or whatever. But I think the people say no
are like probably pointing out pretty wisely that it's going to be more expensive to
go to in LA Packs and probably also inherently more disappointing just because of the
layout and because it's serving two masters. Why not just go to a proper
packs and get a better bang for your buck. I think that's probably the
thing that makes the most sense. What do you think, Tim, Yeah,
I think you're right. I just I just don't know what this new
one's I'm excited that read pop is behind it, because I've got way more
confidence in read Pop doing something. Oh yes, I don't know if we
need another. My concern is I don't want E three to feel like Packs.
I know a lot of people are like, oh great, this would
be more like Packs. That's the last thing I want, man like E
three, like everything feels like packs right now. Packs. It's like seven
hundred million packses at this point in packs every if they're a state in America,
you've got packs. But like, I don't, I want I want
read pop to look at what E three was and create something distinct for it
and and make it its own thing, like and sadly like I feel doing
that is was a kind of like exclusionary because that means that keeping the public
out or like you know, having public days and business days and that kind
of stuff. But I genuinely want a E three to be something else other
than pacts. I don't. I don't want to go to an ethie that's
more like packs. I will go to it because I am it's my job
and also I'm a fool, and I will go to it. But if
I had the option, like I would love to see them go with something
different and like a little more classical, but that the classical feeling E three
requires buying from a lot of other stakeholders that that probably have other ideas right
now, whether that's you know, doing their own thing, like when I
would be surprised if Sony's like We're going to do a live press conference again,
we're going to invite people in. And same for Microsoft. I feel
like everyone's just like sure where where we're probably not going to be invo Like
how involved the Sony and Microsoft and all these others impacts not right. A
lot of the publisher level, developer level of stuff happening, not platform holder
level. And I think it like read pop makes some sense for some of
that stuff because their bread is not buttered by getting one hundred hundred fifty thousand
dollars from like small publishers and you know, two hundred and fifty thousand dollars
for a booth space from Sony or whatever. They can make money by selling
tickets directly to consumers. But then it's like flipping that incentive structure on its
head. It's going to inherently change what like who the show needs to be
for and listen. You know, I only say this because there are enough
packses to serve everybody. We kind of need a show for business to get
done and for us to go and meet with with with publishers and have that
direct line of communication and be able to figure out what they're working on and
like where their headspace is at. And we'll listen we'll figure out a way
to make that happen at any three that is like a pax. We'll figure
it out. It's pay to do. But still I think the important thing
to mention, it's the dirty little secret of E three is as a consumer
experience for you as a person coming in, as the for gamers coming in,
it's not good for you. Like I know you might hear people say,
oh, we need this for business and be like, that sucks.
We want players to be wanted to gamers to be in there. I agree,
But let me tell you it's not a good time like for you,
because I remember being one of those people, like I didn't go to E
three, but I've been to I was out around and I did line up
and see what it was like. It sucks because you line up for so
long and then you play a slice of a demo that largely is created for
like to show off to journalists, and it's not fun like it's it's like
you're playing for a couple of minutes. You've lined up for hours, and
you can't really hear, and you don't know what is going on, and
you won't get a good grasp of the game. Usually those things are created,
so it's like you play a small chunk of the game and then you
talk to a developer and they created for the press, and that kind of
like one two punch of playing the game and then speaking to developments. It's
what gives you a better kind of better indication of what this game is that
you then can like report on or do content around. But we're missing the
talk to the developed part of it, but develop a part of it.
It feels kind of like a waste. Like I've I've never played a demo
outside of maybe Street Fight of four, which was in a completely different kind
of like scenario. I never played lined up for a demo and came away
and feeling felt felt good about everything. I was just like, okay,
was that worth lining up for three hours? Like the popular games like if
let's say a God of if you lined up to play a God of All
Ragnarok, you're lining up minimum four hours, like three to four hours,
and then you're playing five minutes of the game. Yep. It's really hard
to me, it's really hard to find the value in that. Absolutely.
Yeah. Yeah, And that's why it's like we should just keep it like
business related and let the other stuff happen elsewhere. The poll for Monday,
which is more likely to win the Kiley Game of the Year this year?
Elden Ring or any other game that came out this year. So you have
elder Ring, ver this is the field. We're doing the old Dan Patrick
thing where they do Tiger Woods versus the field. So I'm everybody know what
the field is. I put it. I put it in the like elder
Ring or any other game that came out this year. I suppose you're thinking,
yeah, you're right because a power use. What I'm saying here is
you're limiting your audience. Yes, okay, so elder Ring, any other
game, any other game, Fine, Tam, you know what you're talking
You fine, you improve your interaction, you're improving. Listen. I'm not
saying that you're that you're wrong. I'm just saying I resent you being right.
That's all all right, Let's see, all right, that's going out
for everybody. We will talk about that on Monday. I'm looking forward to
it, Tam. We've got a weekend coming out, but we have still
some stuff happening on Friday. Here's our here's our list for today. We
just finished game Best mornings. We have unprofessional Fridays and there should be a
DNF dual quick look going up, you guys get that done. We got
we So we filmed one and there was a problem with the footage or the
audio. So we're gonna try and do another one today. Hopefully we'll be
able to do that today. It's been real tricky with DNF because you know,
Jason's got a lot going on. I've got a lot going on,
and we've been trying to find the right timing hopefully today. If not,
please please don't hate us for its Eventually you got the Neon White open.
Did you watch that ship? It was insane, it was amazing, Like
you don't even watch that. I wouldn't watch watch that. It was I
wouldn't It wasn't very good. I wouldn't watch that anyway, Nothing interesting happened,
no one was embarrassed in their skills or anything like that. So yeah,
uh, thank you all so much for for tuning in today. I
really appreciate it. We'll be back with you for more on Monday and for
the rest of the next week. Please look forward to that. Let's get
