Was that the LAZIEST Nintendo Direct? | WULFFDEN vs. NONTENDO | #87

Welcome back to the Non Tender Podcast Complete. We're the Wolf we got We're
Wolf the kind you were looking for, No, even better kind, the
best. Now here's the rest. I'm so excited to have you. I'm
excited to be here. Thank you for having me. When this whole revamp
idea of a show came around, one of the initial things a lot of
people were suggesting, but also even a thought that I had at one point
was wouldn't it be cool if we just did the show to gain It would
be interesting? And I think we both came to you talk to me about
it, and I think we both came to the realization that it could be
a little weird that you're essentially just replacing the one guy for the older,
fatter version of him. Okayjus wanting yourself down. Man, you're very handsome.
Thank you. I love the gray you've got going on in You'll be
It's a constant reminder that I am close to death because I can't win with
you. Right now. I'm gonna stop mentioning you. No. Yeah,
that was a very fun thought, Like a lot of people brought it up
when I was like, that would be really cool, but it dived into
two areas after you started thinking about it, where I was like, oh,
okay, One, it wouldn't feel right to just replace Bob with his
brother, like he's just an interchangeable, exactly species of man. Like it
just didn't It doesn't really feel right. But also, and Bob pointed this
out, but it would be kind of annoying of me for Bob to leave
so he can focus on other projects, mostly his own podcasts, for me
just to steal the other person to the podcast to do the same amount of
work over here. I think coolor has did definitely prevail, and I think
your current incarnation of the podcast is probably a better fit overall. Thank you
too much. Just rotate in and out guests. It's been a lot of
fun so far. Yeah, And also we always had this in mind.
I had this in mind. There's gonna be weeks where I can't get guests
in, like people just don't want to fly in, or just we run
out of people. So having a rotating cast of people that can come in
and chat is great. And you would be fantastic to just have come in
whenever you want, but whenever we can't figure out other people come in or
just when you want to come in. You don't know. I mean,
you don't have to be a replacement. You can just be the gods.
Show up one day, you can show up every day. James rolf in
the chair and I'll just kick him out and sit down in it. I
invite Bob to come every week, like the last three weeks. I was
like, yeah, just come in and we'll get we'll get lunch. You
just come hang out this week. Your brothers come and we'll get we'll get
we'll get lunch together. You know, you have the lunch in here,
and like try to trick them into doing the podcast Black and White Cookies.
Yeah, there's a camera of Bob eating the whole time. Yeah, I'm
like, Bob, you don't have to do anything. You can just sit
in there. I will talk to them. But then the whole episode,
I'm looking at him and we're cutting down. No, I'm very excited to
have you here. To be here. We almost try to push this episode
until tomorrow because we're in a tumultuous time with Nintendo. There's been a rumored
direct. Yes, and I almost made the title for this episode. We
were wrong about the Nintendo direct. The only reason why I changed it is
because I felt bad roping you into we when you weren't here last week.
But technically, I mean, I guess there's still a window. But kit
Christera and I were talking about how there was going to be a direct this
week. We really felt strong rumors there and if you look online, oh
yeah, it's a pretty strong vibe as far as everybody goes. And if
you look at the February directs and where they line up, it's almost always
on a Wednesday, sometimes on a Thursday, always within this time slot.
Will you feel in that vibe of getting a direct? You know, it's
weird because I do follow a lot of like you know, Nintendo influencers on
Twitter and stuff, and I just feel like the vibe is always like this
week is a direct, this is going to be a direct, Like this
is going to be and it doesn't happen. It's like, oh man,
well there's gonna be a direct tomorrow, I guarantee. Yeah. I mean
one did feel particularly strong, though, I'll give you that. So there's
two sides of that. Usually when they post the evidence of like when it's
been like in other years, like it's around this time, frame. You're
like, Okay, so this is the this is the year window, and
if you look at all the dates, the highest is the twentieth of February.
So I think we technically have until about next Tuesday or Wednesday until we
start leaving the window of like, oh, they might have just skipped it,
which is why we called this episode. I called this episode the laziest
a direct because we did kind of get one. If you've been paying attention
on Twitter, yeah, Nintendo has just been tweeting out the direct. So
I want to go through that and look at essentially the direct we would have
got. I think they do this when there's no new announcement, like if
there's not one new thing to either put at the start or the end,
they're like, people are just going to say this is pointing, so we're
just gonna tweet the whole thing out. So I think we have a lazy
tweet direct to go through. But to your point about how every week it
seems like that, I think there's two things to that. There's one.
I think a lot of creators live on the views that come from possible hype
of a switch to on Nintendo direct or that METROI Prime four or the Metro
Is that a well worth juicing. I mean people keep bringing it up every
direct, even the indie directs. People are like this one, They're gonna
ask Metroy Prime four. I think that the indie direct that's Hollow Night,
yeah, or Silk Song. Yeah, every indie director Silk Song, even
though it's not a given that they would reveal that at a Nintendo indie direct,
yeah, but it would be a good place to do it. And
then the other side is just when those that the time of year, like
you said, but also when the roomor meal and like the inside information starts
coming out. I so almost pushed this until tomorrow, and I and I
were going back and forth texting and I even messaged you you did yeah,
and I was like, we're moving it till tomorrow. I saw that.
I'm like, I just got child care around. I let'll see if I
can move things around. And then you message me it's like, now we'll
do it Thursday. I'm like, oh, thank Jesus. Yeah, well
I didn't move things around. Now, I know we made it work.
I know I felt well. To be fair, there was only about an
hour window in between me changing my mind back but I moved it because I
messaged I'm going to say who. I messaged a friend and I was like,
where the heck is this direct because we're supposed to get it, and
they said it's after the Xbox Showcase today, and I was like, Oh,
then it would make more sense to at least wait until after the Xbox
Showcase because there's not much to talk about right now in Nintendo news, and
the Xbox Showcase might actually at least answer the question about Gears of War and
High Fire Rush and Pentiment come into the switch, so we could wait,
wait till Friday, and then we can cover all of that. But then
I was like, a direct in the evening. Yeah, they usually do
them in the morning. I don't like Nintendo like whole thing their direct because
Microsoft is making an announcement. It doesn't seem very It feels like it would
be the other way around, if anything, like, because Sony and Nintendo
have had their directs the same day quite often, so I don't think anyone
really cares about like, yeah, when they're going to make announcements, And
I think with Xbox being the platform right now, that's just trying to push
the software. I think they would want Nintendo to go first and make the
big splash and get all the views on High Fire Rush Company. So yeah,
that's what I started thinking. So I messaged Kit and Christa and I
was like, where is this direct? And they were like, probably Thursday.
I was like, okay, what about Friday? No, no way,
it will be frided. I was like, all right, I'm going
to stick to Thursday. I'm going to commit and hopefully as I'm driving into
New York there's going to be a direct. Yeah, and no, no,
there's no direct, but we do have a bunch of tweets to look
at. Okay, do you get excited for directs? I do, Yeah,
it depends on you know what I think they're going to announce. I'm
usually excited while watching it because I'll watch it and be like that's cool,
that's okay, I'm not really into that. And then there's like the one
game Where'm like, oh shit, yeah I am I can curse on this,
right, Yeah you can't. Yeah, I'm excited that. Yeah.
So there's always at least like one or two games I'm like, yeah,
they're they're a good time. They are the best of the platform. Showcases
it happens down. I like Microsofts because they only do like a handful and
they actually have the developers like talk about it, and Sony is like they're
trying to be the directs, but I feel like they just show too much
of the game and it's like boring a lot of the time, or they
show on interesting games. No, that is true. I like that Xbox
does someem sparingly. Are you excited for the one tonight? It's it's it's
more of a it's a pot that's the thing. It's a podcast on their
official Xbox podcast, which I didn't know they had until this week. And
I think it's literally just going to be them talking about their multi platform plans,
like bringing their games to other systems, games we already know about out.
I don't have said that's what it's about, or is that what we're
assuming. I mean, that's what we're assuming, because that's just what you
know the tea you say, so yeah, yeah, yeah, so it
makes sense. I think Phil Spencer tweeted out and said that they would talk
about all of that soon. Yeah, and then the Xbox event got announced.
Yeah, okay, all right, what do you want to bring up
these tweets, and we'll go through the We're going to build our own Nintendo
direct based on all of these tweets. Also, I did a lot of
assuming knowledge that people would know who you are and where you're from because the
show. The show has eighty five episodes with your brother, but this is
both brother Willy. Hi, how's it going? The other guy on the
wolf Own podcast podcast every Tuesday and night at eight pm Eastern, Twitch dot
tv, slash you, Twitch dot tv, slash wolf Den, and also
YouTube dot com. That was the YouTube streaming been going? I mean,
I haven't really noticed the difference on does Bob sets that up? Huh?
I think it's been going well because we do have a big audience on YouTube.
All right, well, this is a YouTube podcast. If you guys
enjoy watching podcasts, here go check out and help them talk about as much
on that one. Just this one. This one's the one that bums him
out. Let's take a look at these tweets. We'll go in I guess
reverse order, just from whenever they started tweeting last Okay, so you want
to look the last one or the first one that Well, if you've got
something figured out, you do you do what you have figured out? Yeah,
there you go. So this is one of the ones that definitely I
feel like would have been in an antenna direct at this point. Yes,
how do you pronounce this? Ye's easy ten? Uh? Nordics. I
don't know. I know of the Ye's series. It could be ten because
there's a lot of them. Let's assume ten. I think it is ten
because Ye's eight was an early release on Switch, and then we had The's
nine. Okay, so then it's probably ten. Nauticle Save a Boundless Sea
of Advance. Oh, it's like Stolen and Bones. There's a pirate nord
Nordicks. There you go, Boundance, Steve Adventure and Discovery await you and
Ye's X Nordics Save the People? Is that coming to full? Is that
literally an announcement that that game is coming to Switch? Is this where that's
announced on Twitter? I guess. So. It has half a million views
and a lot of likes. Look at some of the comments. The first
one is yees, I'm so there. It's like they never like they didn't
know that game was coming out. Looking for the direct? Yeah, us
too, that's where we're we feel you girl. Yeah, so it seems
like this is an announced in Valentine's Day. Poor Xbox fan, never get
a piece of the filo that is. I mean, yeah, this this
seems to be an official announcement that this is coming to the Switch on Twitter
as a tweet. Yeah. It is crazy though that they can just tweet
it out. It still gets half a million views. How many views to
directs normally get. I mean, I'm sure they get a lot more because
they're the actual direct. People probably didn't even notice this was the announcement.
They probably just assumed was just an ad for the game. Most likely.
Yeah, all right, what's next? What else have we got? I
know, there's a bunch they've been tweeting out. They were tweeting out yesterday.
You sent me a tweet this morning, Eve that they tweeted yesterday on
the dot every hour from six am they had a different announcement for five or
six hours in a row. I think Nintendial tweeted that out. Fashion Dreamers
Classic Fair update is now here. See these are I know, like they're
not super exciting announcements, which is why they got tweeted out. Yeah,
but this is clearly the something that you would announce during a direct to you
like DLC for a game you play on It's available, now, go get
it. It actually worries me too that this. These two were yesterday,
and these are both third party games, and we were looking forward to maybe
getting a partner director this week. I don't think it's happening anymore. I
think this is it. I don't understand this photo of just like I guess
clothing trailer would have been nice for that. I maybe. I mean,
the game is already out. This is just an update and the whole thing
is fashion designing. So I think you're looking at it, you're looking at
the game. I don't. I don't think it's a kind of game.
It is interesting though, because if this is the way they're announcing it,
because I assumed that Nintendo makes deals with their partners to them it's going to
Nintendo makes deals with their partners to showcase their games, specifically in a direct
So is this part of that deal or are we actually going to get some
kind of director tomorrow. To have all of these tweets and all of these
like announcements and docs all lined up to be able to tweet on the hour
every hour. Yeah, they had some have something planned whether the plan was
to tweet them out or whether the plan is to do an actual like event.
Something has been organized and grouped together with all these third parties, got
it. So yeah, something something's happening here. Yeah. It's either a
telling sign that something's about to happen or a telling sign that this is this
is the happen. It is happening now. We are part of it.
Now, we are witness, we are we are we are the directs right
now. Yeah, and this is a huge one too, especially for a
partner direct. Yeah, the tomb Raider one through three HD remake remaster switch
available now, which I think this was revealed already at some point it was
a previous direct. It kind of just dropped, which the timing of the
drop, the timing of its release, would suggest that they were hoping for
another push available now on the E Shop kind of thing, possibly during a
direct, but instead we got a little tweet for it. I mean also
too, this is a multi platform game. It's on other systems, and
I'm seeing people like review it for PC and PS five been like Xbox and
stuff, So maybe this isn't that big of a deal to Nintendo specifically.
No, I mean again, I don't think any of this is that big
of a deal, which is why it's all being tweeted. But it is.
Max just told me that it released yesterday because Valentine's Day is Larrakov's birthday.
Oh really, Oh that's such a cute little fact. I love that.
That's so sweet. Well, happy birthday, Laura. Yeah, also
shout out to Valentine's Day. Everyone does something fun, something nice. No,
No, my family owns a flower shop. So I'm in hell two
days. What does that mean? It's it's just a lot all there.
Yeah, well that just sounds like you get free flowers for you go.
I do. Yeah, but you also got to sell the flowers, sell
the other guys. You had to work at the flower show. Well I
don't know, you did flowers for twenty years? Where were you yesterday?
A right deal? Go to the supermarket like an asshole? What about what
about you? You do a little virtual I've heard it. Yeah, the
Shane Dawson thing. Is that the Shane Dawson one. He likes cats?
Oh oh that's cute. Did you build like a house and got married?
Yeah, Kim and I messed up. We are planned because we started planning
it the day before, and we were like getting dinner reservations now and probably
gonna be tough. So we were like, let's get dressed up, fancy,
go to the casino and maybe gamble. And there's like there's like restaurants
there. Yeah, So we walked in and like, I don't know,
there was no other couples there. The casino was pretty dead. No one
else was dressed nice. They all like they just rolled out of bed like
a Walmart crew. The restaurant was dead, which would be nice, but
I don't know. The vibe was just like, maybe this isn't it.
Maybe this isn't the nice romantic night that we thought it would be. So
we went home, sat in the garage for a bit and we were like
is this it? Are we just going to give up? And then we
went around the corner and ate somewhere nearby and that was actually very nice until
she got food poisoning instantly while we were in the restaurant. Got food poisoning
from the restaurant, and I had to rush your home. Oh jeez,
Yeah, last night was kind of a mess. Happy Valentine's Day. I
just stayed at home, all right, What was next. All right,
uh oh oh, that's very cute. We take a second. What are
we going This is from Mario vers Donkey Kong. Did that come out or
is that that's out tomorrow today? Yeah? Okay, all right, I'm
actually excited for this game. Oh you are? Yes? Anyway, I
like well, I like Donkey Kong ninety four on game Boy for those of
you who don't know, for those of you might be young, Donkey Kong
ninety four it starts as a remake of the arcade Donkey Kong, and then
after level four it turns into this really weird puzzle game and it's like that's
like one hundred levels long, and the Mario Verse Donkey Kong games are basically
a sequel to that. Oh so it's just more of those, more of
that story and that which those it's like the construction sets and like you're backflipping
trying to solve the puzzles on how to get out of the level and then
go to the next one. They're really fun, really creative, and I'm
excited that they're remaking Mario Verus Donkey Kong specifically because that was the closest to
that style. The rest add the minis to it and that like changes.
Do you think that this remake looks like it added anything. I don't think
it added much, just a graphical improve yeah, more, which is just
did you see the reviews I've heard, Like they're not that they're mid,
but like people are unimpressed with it. Yeah, yeah, I saw it.
It's like mid to high. I think it's a goot seventy seven get
a critic right now. I think the consensus is it's good, but it
could have been so much more or whatever. Yeah, it's good, but
it's more of what was already that I think. I love the Resident Evil
remix, even even four, which I don't think needs to be remade,
but I think those tainted the opinion of like what a modernized version of a
game should be, like a modernized remake, Yeah, because when people think
remake, they think, okay, from the ground up is completely different,
but whatnot? Whereas most games are just fine with like a graphical remaster or
whatever, like Metro Prime exactly. It's like a perfect example. Yeah,
but like every game that comes out, like the Tomb Raider remakes are getting
bad reviews because like they didn't change enough. Like if you can change it
enough, it's gonna be a different game. I think it's a game by
game basis because like metrok Prime is a ten out of ten perfect game,
like Agreed in the Time, still holds up today. So just giving it
a graphical loibl hole is like, great, I can play this game again.
Now have an excuse to play it. But something like Mario Verse Donkey
Kong, it almost feels like there's just an easy shoe in at a couple
levels. Yeah, like you're already remaking it, remastering it so you have
all the assets you're rebuilding it. Just give a couple like a new world
or something. But it's a fine line to walk because at a certain point
you tweak the game enough, it's no longer the same game. Would like
add on to it. I mean, I'm like, what was the Donkey
Kong game? They just added Funky Kong? I mean, you could just
add one thing, you know, it doesn't have to be groundbreaking. They
gave you graphics instead of sprites with you know what, You're right? What
am I saying? What else do we have? This one isn't for me.
I don't think I have honestly, and I don't want to sound mean
at all to you or any of the fans. I have not in any
way cared about that game, and they very like you know, I don't
blame you, because like it's an under the radar release even back in the
day. It was just like put on the GBA towards the end of its
lifespan. So I think a lot of people missed it, even though there's
like I definitely missed five games in the series. Yeah, maybe it's do
you think it's nostalgia or does it hold up? You'll have to play it.
I want to play. Yeah, I think, I mean, like,
I think it holds up. But again, I have to play this
one. Speaking of remakes, you had to I think you had a spicy
take about the Final Fantasy remake the Seven that I don't understand it. Yeah,
but you haven't played it. I haven't played it. No, I
don't really have a lot of nostalgia for Final Fantasy. Like to begin with,
I'm not against it. I just never was my thing as a kid.
But like seeing first of all, I don't understand I didn't understand breaking
it into three parts like in the beginning. I feel like that's just explain
it to you please, Well, I want to. I want to hear
your not understanding. So first, like I didn't understand why they were breaking
it up into three parts. Just give us the game and get it over
with. And then like part one like ends a third of the way through.
Yeah, and now apparently part two is like not a continuation, it's
a weird meta commentary on like the series as a whole, and like sequels
in general, and then who knows what the hell the third one is going
to be? Does all of that not sound cool to you? Though?
It does, But I'm like, what is going on here? Like,
why can't you just do the simple thing? Well, that's because the simple
thing sometimes is a little boring. Yeah, but bobbing you on your podcast,
I was listening to this episode of getting a little annoyed because neither of
you have played the game. Yeah, and you're both yelling that it's not
just a one for one remake of the actual game. So they did a
really interesting thing where they decided to flesh out the story and flesh out the
characters a lot more because you can do a lot more now that you couldn't
back then. But without revealing too much because you guys were getting caught up
on the fact that it's a remake but also a sequel. M hm.
It's that way because the story is unfolding the way that it had before,
and the characters in the game start to become aware that it's a retelling of
a story and they don't like that their fates are being decided for them,
especially because some of their fates aren't optimal right, So they decide to go
against that and try and change, and the whole first game they are breaking
it more and more and more and more, until at the end they managed
to fully break it, got it. So from there it's who knows now.
So this is pretty sick. That does sound cool, And if I
was into Final Fantasy more, one of these days, I'm going to just
play the original Final Fantasy seven and just like experience it. Yeah, as
it was, but like, I feel like if I was more into Final
Fantasy, like, I would appreciate that because I like it when they do
that and other things. I like it when, like you know, Batman
does, but it's Man does. It's not their fault you haven't played exactly.
It's my fault for being an n sixty four kid back in the late
nineties. I mean to be fair, I haven't really played Final Fantasy seven
the original either. My first time finishing a Final Fantasy seven was the remake.
Right, but you, It's almost like the sixth sense where you kind
of know what's that story. I've just been told it or heard it or
seen it so many times, so I was still able to appreciate the beat
changing, Like there were characters that I knew had certain arcs and I was
like, when's that gonna happen? And then it didn't happen. So anyway,
we can keep going with the direct trying to yell at you for a
second, please do I should be better? No? No, no,
no, stop putting yourself. Don't tell me what much I do. It's
like, is he making you feel bad? Don't listen to him? This
is an ad for Super Mario. Yeah, oh, I thought this was
more of that last one. Everyone deserves a kiss or two on Valentine's Day?
Okay, can spicy? Then Nintendo tag your loved one or you're Valentine
in the comments. This is about like, I don't know if that would
have been part of a direct. No, this is about as sexy as
Nintendo guts. That is about as sexy. Yeah, yeah, was looking
for that meme again. Huh do I ship them? I don't know.
I'm over it. It's like it's like, I don't know, what's a
TV show where they dragged out like The Nanny and mister Sheffield by the time
the last season, that's most That's like the cliche, right, like the
guy and the girl will they won't be and then when they do, the
show starts sucking. Yes, yeah, because yeah, So I don't know.
I feel like now like Marian Peetri just bros. So that was actually
what happened to The Nanny. I don't know if you know that. I
I watched it up to a point. Fran Dresher always like she was like
writing for the show. She never wanted them to actually get together, and
the network made them finally, they were like, if you don't get these
characters together, we're going to act the show. So she said okay,
and then that season tanked because of that and then they exed it. Anyway,
I know the cliche. It's called moonlighting because it comes from the show
Moonlighting with Bruce Wallis, and I forgot the woman's name, but like for
like a few seasons, like it was the will they won't stay and then
they got together and the show sucked. It always happens, Yeah, and
then they got to break them up quickly, but it was like a stroke.
We're like a couple of like the two thousands, where like some shows
were actually getting them together early in the show together early, and then like
they would keep it going, like I know, New Girl did that,
Chuck did that? A couple of other shows, Yeah, yeah, yeah,
like How I Met Your Mother had what was the name, Lillian Marshall.
They were together right from the start, but that wasn't the central mystery
of the show. The mystery was who the mother was. That she shaped
that out for ten season and then batched the mother. Yeah, yeah,
you know why they watched it. Let's talk about TV. Okay, yes,
let's do it. Because they had wrote the ending at the very start.
They always knew where it was going to end up, but then didn't
expect the show to have a bazillion seasons, and by the time they got
to the end, the characters had gone through so many twists and tones it
didn't make sense anymore. And they had a choice to change it or to
stick with what they had, and they stuck with what they had and people
hated it because didn't makes sense. They probably had to stick with what they
had because they filmed those scenes with those kids like early, like you said
those kids were like in Thetis. Yeah, so I didn't think about that.
Yeah, anyway, no one cares about that. Did you watch how
Much your Father? No? I watched the first like two episodes. Was
it any so that it's already canceled? Yeah? I know it was cancer.
Same with that eight nineties show, that nineties show. Yeah, oh
my god, I remember that eighties show when they tried to do that.
Yeah, you know Glenn Howards is within that. Yeah. Yeah. I
always freaks me out, like it always freaks me out with somebody from Always
Sonny isn't something else? I know, it's not right. They're just Always
Sonny people. Kim always watches Lost, like she rewatches Lost of the time
and Max in one episode and I'm like that, what are you doing?
Get back to Always? It's like if Charlie Day isn't something serious and he's
not acting like Charlie I know. No, Although did you watch BlackBerry?
I was about to say. I've seen the ads for in the trailers watched
couple weeks ago. It was actually really good, and at first I was
like, that's that's Dennis, But almost immediately I was like, no,
this is someone else and he really died in or is the dude from We
Shop Wednesdays? Yeah he directed, didn't he? Also? Yeah? He
directed? Yeah? Good. Yeah, that's good. That's a good That's
on my list. I also have the Iron Claw, which I want to
watch, and I keep wanting to go and watch that. That's the one
that's out now right, Yeah, we want to go see that. Yeah,
it's on digital right now, So I just don't want to see that.
Yeah, we should watch that. This is the last thing that was
tweetd Okay, okay, she skates infiltrates things. Oh yes, right,
you know, you know funny March twenty second, she so she had six
new character reveals, like outfit reveals. When I messaged Kitt and Christa,
I was like, is this part? Is this happening to the direct and
she was like probably And I was like yeah, because I don't know what
I talk about otherwise. And Christa wrote back a deep dive analysis into all
Peaches six outfits. I was like, okay, let's get it. So
for Christa, let's go all right, what have we got? What is
that one? This the Mermaid Peach. Okay, so there's underwater levels.
Great, everybody's favorite. Yeah singing Underwater le Rhythm Underwater Levels combining two of
my least favorite game genresh with Mecca Mecca might mighty. It's a mighty number
nine crossof remember that. Okay, this one's kind of sick. Actually,
this is like shooting game stuff. I gotta be honest, this game looks
very cute and I'm very happy it's happening, but every screenshot I see looks
like a dinky little mini game that I'm just I don't know how it all
flows together and is fun and organic. I'm sure they're just showing us,
like the highlights of it. Yeah, Honess. The thing when Nintendo games,
especially like they're bigger ones, there's always like a surprise that like hooks
you in. I mean, I hope because like with games like this you
liked, I kind of like when they build upon the game as it goes
along, so you get disability, and then it adds into this ability and
then by the end of the game, you got all these abilities. This
really looks like set pieces, like you're going from here to here to here
to hear, which I just don't know how that's going to come together in
a way that's not going to feel like segmented different. You know, each
costume is its own level. Yeah, it definitely runs that risk. But
if it's like, you know, you can use all the costumes on all
the levels, opening up gameplay varieties, Yeah, maybe to me, this
show seems like this game seems like she's like, I want an adventure,
and she pays for this whole show to be set up. It's called like
a play. Yeah, she commissioned this whole thing up Brothers three if you
remember, Yeah, exactly. I see the curtains, you know. Yeah,
I mean it is very cute. It's also cool Princess Pete showtime and
I am thirty three turnting thirty four this year. So I think this is
just one that I've maybe aged out of, and I'm even trying to look
at it like non biasedly, non non ageously. It does I still have
those concerns. Yeah, but I mean like if I had a kid,
sure, yeah, I thought it would go crazy for this, But I
don't have any and my dog doesn't have thumbs, so that makes it a
little treaty that I know of. Well, you can get those those adaptive
controllers and cheat them on the true she would love that, dollar would love
to play Princess Peaches. Shut all right, Well that was the mini direct
that didn't happen. Four stars good stuff out of five. Sure, good
lord? What was your favorite announcement or reveal from the direct that I mean
I've again. I liked Mariovers Donkey Kong. I think those are fun games.
I think Princess Peach Showtime has the potential to be a good game or
like at least a sleeper hit. Other than that, Like I'm not a
Yee's guy, uh so whatever, you know, ironically not ironically, but
Yeez is probably the one I most look forward to. It that the most
mature and RPG. And when the Switch first came out, I'd never heard
of years but the Year's eight Yanna's Adventure or whatever the heck it was called,
I don't remember. I picked it up just to play something. I
ended up really liking it, Like it was a lot better than I thought.
I don't really have interest in playing any more years games. But out
of those reveals that were just there, I would probably if I had to
pick one, I would pick ease or yez X. I don't know what
is Chat think. We never talked to Chat. Yeah, let's let's take
a look at them. You can bring them up. Actually, I can
see what they're saying, unless it's all hate, and then I don't want
to know. Oh, I want to know. I want to bring it
on while you're trying to find some stuff. I want to say that the
last couple episodes, you know, we had guests in that have flown in,
high price, high profile guests, and I was a little nervous.
And this is another reason why I haven't talked to Chat at all in any
of these lives. I just didn't want to derail anything and I wanted to
focus on what was happening. But I feel way more calm having you here
because we're close already. So there's a couple of things I've wanted to mention
about the show. Here's the new sign, by the way, made by
thrill House. I've been wanting to mention this for a hot minute. This
sign is sick it is made out of wood. I wanted it to be
made out of wood because that's your name, because that's my name. I
told him to lightly paint it red so you could still kind of see the
wood grain behind it, because I thought that would be a sick aesthetic.
It's lit behind with dimmable LEDs, and then even the epoxy is lit.
It's just not super bright in here. For some reason. It was actually
brighter before I brought it to the studio, and I'm worried it broke.
Yeah, but you can see it turn on. It's just very dim,
but it's it still pops, like the white still really pops. So yeah,
that's throughhouse. And if you want any work done, commission him.
You also made this table right here, And some people have mentioned that the
red in this is different to that and it bothers them. What do you
want from me? What do you want? What you want? Yeah,
we could turn this. What color would that be if we turned it off?
Probably still pretty red? Yeah, it would probably just be a dimmer
red. What do you what do you want from Yeah, let's have a
little I'm scared to look at it. Oh my god, let's go hook
up. Mary K Ward, Peach, Daisy, Rosalina. Mm hmm,
I feel bad kywarding any of them. I know my answer go ghosts.
Let's do that one instead a ghost in that case, ghost Rosalina because I
don't I feel like she would just like to come in like do her Rosalina
thing and then leave. So it was like no body but the little guy
that comes with her too. Yeah, it's got a weird watching like a
little bug into the bed. I guess the question is like Daisy and Peach
are both princesses, so you got financials ability and regardless of who you married.
That's so true. You're really thinking about this. I feel like maybe
Mary Daisy because I'm a brunette guy. Yeah, for sure, and hook
up with Peach. Okay, I like that. Kill Peach, sick of
her marry Daisy because she sounds seems like the most down to earth and like
just fun to hang out with. And what kind of bang rose Alena,
because there you go, I got a blonde. You know, what do
you want? What do you want me to do about it? But she's
annoying. Yeah, she's like la blonde. No, I'm not about that.
I got my own. I am Yeah, he's got money. She
just spent all her money on the show. She's throwing it away. That's
technically taxpayer money. Daisy has money but still thrift shops. Yeah, true
planning. Yeah, I was gonna make a joke that I'm not going to
make it all right? What else would talk about? O Karina of Time
remake? I would if there was one. Well you're talking about how would
how would they remake that? Like that's like they kind of already did.
Yeah, but that was more of like a remaster so to speak. Sure,
like that's that's one of those games you just re release as is you
don't like go through the trouble of remaking it. I would like a Final
Fantasy. Well not fan of Fantasy seven because they changed the story, although
I'm down for that because I liked it in that I'd like ITSI an Evil
style remake where it's like fully reimagined almost. I don't know, I don't
know what that would look like. Yeah, we've talked about that before.
I feel like on the podcast, are they saying anything about the direct?
People are like, yeah, we could have done that and just reacted to
it and then just uploaded Nintendo Direct reaction. Yea, we'd have to like,
didn't do it cha, you know the suits and stuff, and act
like them and do the cadence like hello, welcome to this you want directly
to you and then do the clicks every time we switch. Yeah, we
click at the like different beats and it plays sounds from other Nintendo systems,
like a GameCube lit or Okay, well now I kind of want to do
that. All right, that is probably the Nintendo stuff. Sure, what's
doing at break? We'll be right back. Today's episode is sponsored by Gamers
Ups. Wow, the Gamers Energy energy for gamers. I've been working with
Game of SUPs now for about a year. I love them, and you
know why I switched to gamers Ups because there's no lead in it. Oh
it's also delicious. I like that the scoops in them are teeny tiny because
other companies that have lead in them have these massive scoops and it's mostly chalk.
It's like filler formula that just makes it look like you're getting a big
scoop. Sure, this is all you need for the for the for the
energy, but also the flavor. Yeah, this is Sigma Brain Flavor,
which is H three's flavor, so you can get that if you want one
of my favorites, little spice to it with some ice. I like that
a lot. They also have shaked cups which you can get. They now
do gamer soups, which is, oh my god, instant noodles. This
is beef flavor that you said you wanted to try. Yeah, I do
want to try, and like Ramen's an interesting take, but I'm down.
I'm down to try it. And then they have these Suss snacks. They're
like rice crispies. I don't say that. I don't know if that's a
brand name, but this one's chocolate. They also have peanut butter and vanilla
and they will have I think eight grams of protein in them. I'm gonna
try one. Uh but yeah, these are really good too. Only one
hundred calories for the whole thing. So you can go to Game of SUPs.
You can use code non tendo. Oh a really good. I know,
right, no sugar, I know, oh my god. Crazy.
You can get snacks, you can get soups, you can get drinks.
There's cafee that caffeinated and uncaffeinated. This one's caffeine free. Pear flavor,
which is one of my favorites and it directly supports the show. And thank
you so much Gamers ups for being a part of the non Tendo family.
Yeah you make go, make a soup, make a drink, enjoy yourself.
All right, Oh, thank you so much for the sponsor. Well,
what do you want to talk about today? Well, I think there's
a lot of issues going on in the Middle East that I think they need
to be as into it. H No, I think there is so.
I don't know if you, if you in the chat, or you over
here, or you behind the camera, have been keeping up with the Sony
news that's been happening. Yeah, they they did. Let me just get
the actual you laugh because I said breast. Yes. Yeah. Sony Senior
vice president Naomi Matsuka uh did a conference call and he said, looking ahead,
PS five will enter the latter stage of its life cycle. As such,
we will put more emphasis on the balance between profitability and sales. For
this reason, we expect the annual sales pace of PS five hardware we'll still
we'll start falling from the next fiscal year. The interesting thing to me about
that was he specifically said that the PS five is entering the latter stages of
its life cycle. The thing came out like four years ago, yeah,
and people are just now starting to get their hands on it, and this
guy is already saying, like, get ready for the PS six eventually.
It's a weird thing to announce. Yeah, Like Nintendo never Nintendo makes you
think they're running their system into the ground. I mean, like we're pretty
sure by getting a switch to pretty soon, but they've said nothing, like
we could just be halfway through for all we know. So to come out
and be like, yeah, it's almost over, yeah, when you're trying
to sell the console too. Yeah. And it's interesting because like I think
back at like, you know, console generations of your and it was always
like you know, five or six years, that's like how long those generations
last. And nowadays like their generations are getting longer and longer. Like I
think the PS four was officially like supported for ten years. It's still being
supported. It was still viable for ten years, to PlayStation three for like
eight years and stuff, and only four years in and it's like we're gonna
start wrapping this up. Yeah, they said that, And they also said
don't expect any new sequels for our first party ips. Yeah until like March
twenty twenty five. Yeah, Like I know there's rumors of like a new
Astrobot game, but like that's like a minor franchise compared to like everything else
they do. It's just so weird to be like, yeah, we've got
no big game, like, no big games that you love coming out in
the next year and a half, so don't rush out and buy the console.
Also getting rid of it soon anyway. It's so it's just weird wordage
to use at this point. And it's nuts too, because like I feel
like these systems, Xbox too, hasn't really hit their strides yet. Yeah,
we're not at all. We're getting good games, we're getting like really
high profile games, but like nothing's really like pushed the limits of the system.
I don't even think Spider Man pushed the limits of the PS five.
That game was huge with like other generations of these powerful consoles when we've had
them, Yeah, it always starts slow. You get those initial games and
it's like, oh, this isn't really the leap that I was expecting of
buying a new console. But by the time you get to the end and
you start looking at what they can do with the console. And now they
figured it out, they're pushing it. That gets what it's really exciting.
Yeah, but they're kind of just like skipping all of that. Yeah,
especially like when you consider, like for the first two years of this life
cycle, you know, we were all locked in doors and we couldn't afford
the place station five because it was the pandemic. Uh huh. So people
are now just starting I didn't get mine till last year. I know a
lot of people who didn't get there is until last year. What were you
playing that whole time? PS four man? Oh wow, retro game.
Yeah. So a lot of people were just now starting to get their hands
on it. And I feel like it right now is when it's going to
hit its stride. Yeah. And son, he's like, nah, just
kidding, why start winding down? I mean, surely then that's not the
case. Yeah, I mean, to be fair, this is the fourth
year of the PlayStation five. If it is the latter half, I mean,
there's another four years to enjoy it. But then by that same token,
you know, he basically told you when to start expecting PlayStations, which
is which is so weird. Yeah, because it will come a point maybe
it won't put people off right now, although I just feel like that Woodage
will put people. It always puts people off, like if there's a hint
of like another system down the line, then they'll hold off. And exactly,
but then especially you start getting like two more years in that final year
is going to be like, well you said this, visually the best year
is there's no point me grabbing one now. And the thing is the system
is still prohibitively expensive. It's still five hundred dollars. It's never seen a
price cut. If anything, the Discuss version saw a price increase. Game
development is harder and more expensive than ever. These games take, you know,
years and years and years and hundreds of ungodly millions of dollars to make.
You know, we probably won't see those games until the end of the
life cycle. And if you want to push those games to the next system,
then it's just gonna take even longer and cost even more money, and
you're gonna need a bigger return on investment, which is why they're talking about
or the rumor is they're gonna stop bringing everything to PC as well. Yes,
I did see that. To capitalize on the software sales. I feel
like, I mean, Sony's plan so far has been like put their stuff
on PC like years down the road, and I think what they're possibly seeing
is like they got to stop doing that. They got to bring the games
to PC faster so they get the bigger market share that way. Yeah,
I mean they I think they were already experimenting with it. They just did
Hell Divers. I think that's what it's called, right. It was PC
and PlayStation cross play same day, which is definitely them testing the water.
But I feel like, as I said on my other podcast, YouTube dot
com slash wolf Don podcast or twitch dot tv JP Eastern Hell Divers is a
primarily multiplayer game, and I feel like that makes sense for multiplayer games.
You give it the biggest audience possible for the most people playing it at once.
Yeah, they're single player games, which is like what they're most known
for. There's a mentality of we can wait to put that on other systems
like kind of still holds. Yeah, I mean that there's currently that mentality.
Yeah, but if the if they start doing the multiplayer games and it
works for them and they're getting better sales and better numbers, and they're like
oh this works. Yeah, what's it matters play a multiplayer? If there's
money there and they can make more money, that's what's gonna matter. What
would be the first game where they try that on? So we were actually
talking about this while we were getting bagels this morning. Death Stranding could be
a good one to try that on because it's already gotten really popular on PC
and Steam and the Steam Deck and all of that. But that's interesting because
like Sony didn't publish it on PC. Five or five Games did, so
I don't know if there's like some weird thing where Sony can publish it on
consoles but not on PC. Maybe, but it would be a good one
at test, it would be definitely be a good one. Say what do
you what do you think would be a good one? I don't see.
I don't know, because like you want people to go play the PlayStation games
on a PlayStation system. Yeah, like just just spitball here. Last of
Us Part three. I know it's not coming out for like, you know,
until I'm in my sixties or whatever, but like that's like the biggest
one I know, But like I can't imagine a world where Sony says Last
of Us Part three Day and Date PlayStation and PC I kind of mess because
like they they want you to play that on your PlayStation immediately for now.
Yeah, I think eventually we're going to end up with things just being on
PC. I feel like that the next generation. It almost seems like they
want Microsoft to figure that out and like see how it works for them,
Yeah, and then they'll do that. I mean, I guess they kind
of started doing that because like Microsoft putting their stuff on PC day and Date,
and then Sony's like, I guess we could do it, but we'll
be a little late to the party on it because we can afford to be
late to the party where Sony was even though we predicted we'd sell twenty five
million and we only sold twenty one boo hoo hoo. Yeah, yeah,
oh, I mean that say it was us slowing down on the but I
mean, like it's like you said, it's the middle of the generation,
like people, you know, the economy sucks, so people aren't spending six
hundred dollars on a system anymore. I am shocked people are spending two hundred
dollars on their dumbass portable. But that's the thing that's happening. I bought
it. I have Bob's really, I have to bust it out times because
I have this weird thing. Doesn't work for you, No, oh,
but so I have this weird thing with my TV. I have So my
my basement is set up where the TV's against the wall and the wires actually
go up the wall across the ceiling to the behind the couch. Okay,
so my systems are hooked up. Oh yeah, can you see the wires.
No, it's covered in the city. Yeah, it looks nice and
shit. But when I'm playing PS five or even Series X, the screen
will just like cut out. Oh and like sometimes it'll flicker back in.
Sometimes it won't. Hm. You using two point zero the ones that came
with the consoles, So I hold it long. You have to get long
had to get long ones. That's your issue. Do you think it's the
long ones? Yes, because mine used to cut out all the time,
and I had to order a specific one foot PlayStation and then it stopped.
I gotta like take I gotta take down the TV. I gotta rewire all
this. It might be too long as well, if you're wrapping it that
they could be too long. Ago I think it's like twenty five ft which,
yeah, that power at hdm Yeah, you might need to get a
power at Hdmichael fantastic. Yeah, I've seen the repeaters and stuff but sorry
sorry, yeah, because I've been dealing with all of that recently. Yeah,
so, I mean I had a feeling that's what it was. Uh
huh, but like I didn't want to like say it out loud, but
you don't want to have to try and fix exactly. Yeah, I feel
but because it cuts out like that, I have to have the portal near
next to me, So like if I'm in the middle of an intense firefight
and the TV goes out, I have to hit switch to work around for
that problem. Like I'm sitting here, the police station is right there,
so there's not a lot of travel and it's like connection issue. Yeah,
it's like that. So I've talked about this already on my channel, but
that was my issue when I first got it. Yeah, I had to
buy a new router. And then once I got a new router, I
got the one that Bob has, the rug one. Oh yeah, yeah
it works great now, no issues, Like if I'm playing for twenty hours,
I might get one starter somewhere in there maybe, but you can I
can't even tell its streaming now, so it's kind of sick. I might
have to don't put on. I got upgrade the TV. I'm ald to
fix this portable which you're only using because of the other issues. I did
get a remote play working on my Steam deck for a little bit, and
that actually works better than it does on the portal. Shocking remote play to
Steam remote PlayStation remote really Yeah, my brother gave these old Steam So now
I'm a hardcore PC game where I could do PC game or ship like hacking
my Steam deck. Know what works really well in the Steam decktranding? I've
been tempted, and it's a forty hour game where all you do is walk,
And I'm like, I don't have the attention span for this anymore.
Okay, why do you think that? Because I'm old and I have kids
and I don't have time to play a forty hour game where you walk.
There's a lot of walking in the first i would say, third of the
game, and then there's a lot of other stuff you can do after that.
Like, I'm not like I like coaching. I've always liked his games,
even like the stuff even like Snatchers and Police Uh, Police Knots is
the other one. Yeah, Like never played those games, but I like
the ideas behind them and the cars behind them. I want to play Snatcher,
but it's so hard to get a hold of it. Yeah, and
Police Knots was only released in Japan. Yeah, like a YouTube. I
think it's more like an adventure game. Meryl Silverberg from Metal Gear debuted in
Police Knots. Oh really that's interesting. Of course you know that, you
know all the facts. Yeah, So Desk Stranding, by the way,
for the first like four chapters, it's a lot of walking, which I
think they did that to really make you feel like you are having to walk
across the United States and connect all of these towers together. They wanted you
to feel how much that sucks. Yeah, that's what I always took from
that. But then something happens immediately in chapter four that kind of shifts reality
and from there it kind of gets a bit balls to the wall. And
also at that point you can get bikes and cars all of that stuff.
But there's a lot of like fighting and guns and action and story. So
if you can get through the first four chapters, You're golden. Yeah,
it's definitely one of those games like I want to eventually experience. It's worth
it cry at the end. Really yeah, very few mediums or even games
have made me cry. That one the first Walking Dead Telltale game. That
might be it. Actually that might be the two. Wow. Yeah,
I don't think the games games have made me go, but like never like
cry. It's such an emotional journey and investment. But something happens in the
final moments before it cuts to black that is like I can't say because it'll
really right. Yeah, yeah, I mean I can tell you later if
you don't care, honestly, like, you could probably tell me and I
still wouldn't even know what the hell is going on because like most games,
I do what's going on. I have a perfect way of describing what happens
without ruining it. But if you think really hard about it, it'll ruin
it. So I don't. I'll just tell you later, Okay, so
tell it later. Where were we What were we talking about? PlayStation?
Yes, PlayStation Do you think so Xbox is divvying out all of their games
because obviously they're giving up on their hardware and they're abandoning not giving up on
hardware. They're just like, well, they need revenue somehow. I think
they are giving up on hardware. But something they've said recently in like one
of the big things that linked that came out of the behind the scenes conversations
is they want to keep doing hardware because it gives the illusion of them being
a games console company that makes games, and it makes it seem like they're
doing really well and successful because they have a console. But even if the
console is a dud or it fails or no one cares about that, it
doesn't matter because they have game Pass and they have their software and they're selling
games on PC and blah blah blah blah blah. Well, like Microsoft makes
computers, Like you can buy a Microsoft made computer, but you can also
get Windows on a Dell or an HP or a Lenovo or Anus or whatever.
So like, as long as the name is out there, it doesn't
matter, like what piece of plastic you're using to experience exactly. So if
all that games are gonna start going everywhere, like see a Thieves apparently going
to PlayStation, do you think we'll ever see a day where a PlayStation game
goes to Xbox well, we kind of see it now with MLB the show,
because that's a Sony made game. It used to be PlayStation exclusives.
I could see Sony not caring about that as much. That might also be
like MLB is probably like, you gotta start putting our games on other systems,
man. We can't be shackled to Sony for much longer. So I
mean that's like a one off experience. We might get like games that Sony
doesn't care about anymore, Like Jack and Daxter might go on Xbox. Maybe
like a Ghost to Tsushima, Yeah, like the first one. Yeah,
something they'll probably make a sequel at some probably so yeah, like older stuff
you'll never see, like a Day and Date, you know, God of
War the next got a warld Oh no, yeah, that would be insane,
that would be I mean, we live in a world where when I
get the next Halo on a PlayStation them, which I feel like that would
be the one Microsoft won't put on any other system, and yet here we
are. I don't care what they do with Halo as well as they make
it. They do something makes it, just make it better. I don't
know, man, I guess that's what happens when the company that was originally
making the game specifically tried to end it and Microsoft's like, now we'll keep
it going. How bad could it be? I know, do you think
how much money would it cost Bungee to come back and make Halo? A
lot of Halony owns them, now, Oh that's true. So but if
Halo goes to PlayStation, let's just do that. Let's just commit to that,
make it an exclusive. I don't know, man, because like also
to like the people who Mad and Halo aren't really there anymore at Bungee.
Yeah, so that's such completely different team. Halo died a long time ago
and we're well holding onto it. That's like most that was signed to Hedgehog
for a long time and mass Effect and mass Effect and Prince of Persia and
yeah, like the new Prince of Persia. I haven't played it yet.
It was okay, yeah, everyone, you're the only one said it's okay.
Everyone saying like, oh, so good. It's just it's not Prince
of Persia to me, No, I don't know, it doesn't feel like
Prince. I'm actually you never hear anyone say this, I feel, but
I'm a pretty big fan of Prince of Persia, and I know it started
as a two D metro Vania kind of game, but what I always loved
was like Warrior Within and Two Thrones. I think that's what it was called,
right, It was The Sands of Time, and then the sequels Warrior
Within and The Thrones. It was Two Thrones. Yeah. I even liked
the Prince of Persia, like that's what it was. Cooled thee Yeah that
kicks ass. Yeah right, all of those were sick, and then we
got this one where like, I don't know, it just doesn't look or
feel like Prince of Persia. The game is good, yeah, but it's
like I just kind of feel like they slapped Prince of Persia on it to
make money. Probably mean a dead franchise for a long time. I feel
like they needed to do something with it, so they're like put it on
this game, just make make it Arabian themed or whatever. As much as
I did actually like a model's Phoenix rising, this that Prince of Posia game
looks like it took all of the assets and everything they had from that game,
the character models, and just slapped it on a two D plane.
Made it kind of like a Metroidvania and we're like, it's Prince of Persia.
I mean probably you know you saw one of those companies where they have
one engine that all of their games have to be made. Yeah, okay,
well we have some other things on a doc. We could talk about
what time are we at? Yeah? Like five minutes? Actually, okay,
my gosh, I don't know if we even have time for all of
this stuff, like fire around, fire around fire, fire, question,
just on fire? We could light things on fire? None in here.
You want to go outside? Light a trash can on fire? Some marshmallows,
that's the most that'd be cute. We had some things on our doc
about trends that will dominate the gaming industry because AI VR. How do you
feel about VR? I like VR? Like actually like putting the headset on,
experiencing VR and stuff like that's cool, that's fun, that's fine.
The idea that we're going to be living in the VR headsets is like,
who do you think we are? Like? What kind of world are you
living? People would actually want to do. Can you try and find the
clip of the guy on the train wearing the Apple Vision pro I've seen that
guy driving the car the Tesla Tron. Yeah, I wouldn't mind seeing that
one either. You can find that after Yeah, I don't know, it's
bizarre. I feel like this this concept doesn't work until you can't notice that
they're wearing something, right, you know, when they have this big chunky
glass. These turn them into like headset maybe, but how insane would you
look if you were said they're wearing normal glasses like that, going like nobody
knows. I mean, I guess maybe this is a little bit more at
least people understand what's happening. Yeah, you're crazy, but for a different
reason. Yeah, I don't know. I just feel like as of right
now, when people get VR headsets, they get it to like, you
know, fool around in it for a little bit and then take it off
and go back to the real world. Meanwhile, these tech companies are trying
to get you to live in these virtual worlds, not permanently, but like
for longer than you normally do, and nothing is there yet. There's a
great video essay by Dan Olsen about the centraland like that VR metaverse that came
a couple years ago, and he called it a dead mall because that's what
that's what it is. It's literally just like walking around a dead shopping mall.
Is that the Facebook one or a different than it's a different one,
but it's it's all the same stuff. Facebook's all the same. Facebook's is
Horizon and that just looks like a shitty video game. It does, which
is so funny considering how much money they spend change their name of the company
to get in on it. But now they're all shifting to AI because that's
the next hot thing in the tech Worldlip from The Guardian has a bunch of
Okay, I look forward to one AI and VM merge, Oh my god,
look at this guy. This dude, it's it's so dystopian. It
is. I don't know. And I just I've seen that guy that that's
a that's like a Brooklyn train. How do you not get rubbed? Okay,
that's a joke. There's at the gym there's a cord on that.
If that cord gets stuck in the weightlifting equipment, this is crazy. I've
seen that. Yeah, yeah, that is not safe. Also, Tesla's
would yell at you so quickly if you were not touching the wheel. I
can't. Oh, this is the this is the guy that got like in
trouble, like the cops came or something. What are you? What are
you doing on that thing in that moment that's so important? Just scrolling Twitter?
What a way to go out? Yeah, yeah, you can't see
the same thing. Yeah, yeah, I I don't know VR man.
I really want to like it. I have liked it. There are experiences
and games that I've liked, but it's such a hassle to play a VR
game. Yeah. I have the Quest three and I get that as Azora's
Wrath two game or whatever that recently for free, and I've been wanting to
play it. But every time I have like an hour to play a game,
I'm thinking to myself, I gotta find the headset to charge. I
got to put it on clear space. Yeah, by the time I'm in
Like, it's just it's an enthusiast device. You are really into it,
and that's cool, and that's fine. It's as of right now, it's
not like the mass market thing that their keeps saying. And there are very
few VR experiences that I would say are worth getting a VR headset for very
few, like maybe I could count on one hand. Half Life Alex would
definitely be one that one was sick. That might still be the number one.
Can you bring up in the doc? Can you bring up the dock
near the bottom. Can you bring up the Instagram account that's linked. I
just want to talk about that quickly before we end. It's a good Instagram
account or is it like a weird one. I'm hoping it's yours. You're
gonna see like shitty pictures of action figures and okay, then it might actually
be yours. I just had a question about it. Okay, I'd barely
use my Instagram account, I know, I didn't even I couldn't tell if
it was yours or that, which is why I wanted to bring it up.
But I also had another question about him. Okay, oh yeah,
that's me, that's you. Yeah. Why is the very first thing in
the bio say Australia in capital oh Australia with three exclamation marks. So in
the nineteen eighty motion pictures Superman two, well, I when when Luthor played
by Gene Hackman in the movie goes to the White House, you talk to
General Zod and his two lieutenants Persa and Non, and he's trying to like
tell them I can get you, I can bring you to where Superman lives.
I can tell you whose friends are so you can take him out.
And General Zod asks him what do you want in return? Lex Luthor,
with the cigar in his mouth, looks at it and just goes Australia because
that's what he wants. He wants beachfront property, so he wants all of
Australia. But you realize just having that on your Instagram page with no context
just looks like you're a big fan of Australia. I thought it was just
a weird, a weird. I just always found it funny the way he
says, no, Australia, it is funny. Yeah, I was just
thinking, I'm like, man, I met Bob and I found out that
his game attack was wood Wolf Wolf Wolf. Would my name was in it?
Then you're all about Australia. I'm just I'm just you're putting the little
dots of related to nerdy things we both like. I think what I'm saying
is I'm the unofficial third Brother, and I think both of you would agree
that that's true. Could you agree to that for both of you? Please?
I can't. I don't know if I but I could, I could
connect the dots with the red yarn in my you know, my basement bunker,
with all the newspaper. You would do that for me? Yes,
i will put it in my newspaper. Clad. I'm glad to be a
wolf. Well, thank you so much for coming. Thank you for having
