It's another beautiful day in the neighborhood Is it the neighborhood of media? All right Now now why don't I believe that?   That's pretty that's pretty corny. Yeah, they think they're trying to do stuff with characters But that's not what I'm really in it for You know like a lot of older movies TV shows a lot of people think they're great But really they have an age well, but this stuff.   I think that's one of the big issues I have with micro transactions is the prices always feel incredibly skewed like I don't a skin that is worth like five bucks feels too expensive to me It's like that's that's what that's nearly a tenth of the price of the whole game For one for one Hard to be definitive on how much they should cost, but I mean we can tell at 500 for one of them is um We're not looking at we're paying for the look anymore. Something else is going on Yeah, um the matter. I guess it's just a matter of when you think about everything that there is in the game um, I always kind of felt this way when you think about like um expansion packs back in the day like You pay full price for the stim the sims, but the expansion would cost about half the game And it's not strictly half the game's content But i'm okay with it because it feels like with the game You're almost getting like if you weight up all of the elements of a video game There's kind of a discount to the whole bundle and then when new stuff gets added in it's like i'm okay with paying a little bit more Proportional to the content i'm getting That feels fine to me But now it's like you don't really because functionality is free. I think that's the big That was what was learned during the last generation is You know, it was it was inelegant in the in the ps3 360 to make people buy maps because when people buy maps You're splitting the player base in half and the more you split it the more the population will decrease um And the more you do that the less people will be willing to buy it Like the model has now morphed into no the content will be free Because of the contents free people will keep buying the skins Um, and I don't even know how I feel about that. It's like is it better that people aren't That they aren't selling game changing items to that the answer is yes But there is a trade-off Um with this model that just sort of capitalizes on people's desire to look special and feel special Look at how beautiful I am Look at how amazing I am look at these things I have um, do you see do you see, you know I Spam Loki sucks. Yeah, don't Yeah, we're aware the Loki sucks We have uh, we've seen the newest apopood It'll come up here and there as we uh, we have this chat Bring you thoughts on rifts apart if you have a ps5 ratchet and clank video when also high rigs um I I haven't got a ps5. So I haven't played That game I probably will when I get a ps5, but I'm not in a rush to get a playstation 5. I'm just I'm not really um I don't know that I will be for a while. I feel like there's not a lot that it's coming out for That I'm especially excited for like ratchet and clank that'll be cool But as for a lot of the other stuff, it's like the new horizon game and Maybe Maybe I'll be more excited for god of war if I finish playing or which I will uh, eventually one bird Yeah, someday I still gotta play some of those um Isn't amazing how the life and times of scrooge mcduck comics are the greatest disney story arc ever and they still haven't topped it The life and let me the comics the life and times of scrooge mcduck Uh rags is on his way back. Don't worry folkary nose Oh, man, I'm just saying if uh, because now that now that people are reminding me I kind of I kind of feel like I want to read some of these old comics um All right, you can get him on kindle for a lot cheaper, but uh You know what uncle scrooge and donald duck the son of the son When was this written like Sunday night of night?  I don't know I wouldn't want to assume anything Hmm weird schnizzles Morning good morning Apparently tonight of fans are angry superman gets put in the icu because he was shot by a kryptonite bullet Although zack planned to have dead shot use kryptonite bullets in his justice league sequel pitch I don't care what zack snider was planning, but um what I find amusing is that in the comics that was the first thing that dead uh that um Blood sport did It was like the first the first page of his appearance was putting superman a bullet in superman Um, well, I imagine they're highlighting this because snider fans like upset even though snider planned to do it Um, that's pretty amusing. That is actually pretty funny. I guess I'm just I'm so happy that we're just moving on. You know, it's done and we're just moving on to to They should be thankful. They got what they got Honestly, you should the fact that Like that zack sniders justice league was pretty self-indulgent as a product. Um Most like that for something that is so crap compared to like all of the other amazing content that has been lost due to like corporate influence or budget or um any any number of Circumstances and the fact that that was the one that got this insane budget to make this new thing pretty You may you may think i'm joking But of course jill shoemaker was going to have a Film called was it batman unchained and I think it's going to be the third of his after batman and robin Would have way preferred to have had that than justice league snider cut Or bvs or man of steel because jill shoemaker had a lot of fun when he made his movies Yeah, I just I don't know. I just I think of stuff like This is totally unrelated But now i'm thinking of like pray to that game and how that game was like getting close to done And then it just everything went wrong just due to corporate influence and stuff like that And like there's no fanfare for that. We never got that game to get pushed to get released um, but and that game actually had promise um, but hey At least we got to see the end of the The just exact sniders justice league and we'll never stop hearing about it because it keeps doing interviews talking about it Clearly wants to keep making these films And you know that this isn't tied to zack sniders tied to the dc because nobody cared about army the dead Nobody really cared about anything that he's done that hasn't been like A lot of his work is adaptation um And then look at like sucker punch fucking tanked because nobody cared Nobody really cares about like the yeah but even even Justice league i'm pretty sure didn't have like a lower premiere in terms of like numbers then godzilla vs kong Like didn't that maybe blow it out of the water in terms of viewership on hbr max And that was in theaters too It was and even then Well, just one of the most successful films of the year as it stands um Oh, this is one weird cosmoronic stream high rags This isn't cosmoronic all day Well that episode was dumb high rags and others. Hello, and yes it was Hey, yeah, oh man, those are baffling It's funny.  Nobody's doing anything that they They should be doing It was really weird like You two have just met and you're having this heartfelt conversation about your back stories And it's like I thought you guys will like try to kill each other 10 minutes ago What happened Why are you willing to share so much? Oh, it's making the sound from the movie How neat Why is there an e-walk on the death star? Because we get to have fun here. I thought that's what we get Look he has the force now also high rags Yeah, that little telekinetic grab that is new to me. I didn't know he could do that And now when you you think it's never small because you're like, uh-oh What um, what's that gonna have done now if you look at everything else? It's come for me Yeah Here what happened to scott car corthon See what you're well about his games. It was his passion slash business and all taken away for supporting the orange man bad That's the Well, he quit didn't he now To be better again from what I understand he quit because people were like harassing his pregnant wife So, you know it's quits in that sense. It's it's kind of under A lot of stress From what I understand the whole context was that he had donated to specifically Like just openly anti lgbt organizations um, which I obviously disagree with By the sounds of it, but um, it is his choice. It's his right I guess people it's also their right to like disagree with that choice But I mean, I feel like the the simplest thing would be just to stop buying the game Not to harass him and his wife especially not his wife like that's Yeah, you can't even do it anonymously they're gonna find you All right, uh, if I got it wrong then yeah, like that's that's what I heard um about it But um Yeah, I mean in any case in any case it still feels like a step too far to start harassing him and his wife I should say so. Yeah Oh, okay. Well, what people are saying is that he didn't specifically donate to anti lgbt groups. Okay Oh, well then at that right Hold on Research time. What's his name again? Scott Cawthorn I'm gonna be a don't trust wikipedia. Well, you know me. I'm a wikipedia andy Who's Andy? How do I get through here then? Um Okay, so this is it said that he made He made financial donations to uh, republican candidates mitch mcconnell donald trump Um, and he made donations to tulsi gabbard. Oh So he didn't okay, so he didn't give any right um And then he said himself that it had nothing to do with those issues Right, okay well, then Well, yeah, I mean that makes sense, right like just because you donate to a candidate even if they express views that are opposed to it Um, yeah, I don't anybody agrees 100 percent with any candidate Yeah, that's basically what I was gonna say It's like you might support somebody for specific points that they want to they want to raise and then um And then there are other things where you just like either disregard it or it's just not as important to you um And I mean if he was like anti lgbt, he could have donated to different candidates that he did, you know Like I never remember being a particularly huge part of Yeah He refused to apologize. I don't want to go apologize for I don't think he needs to apologize for anything He has a right to like donate to whatever political It's his money The power break got you. Oh wait, is there a mini kit in there as well? What the hell I do wonder if uh a lot of this this stuff like these issues in terms of you know The the political divide is more to do with the fact that it's easier to identify who believes what Like before the internet, you never really knew like who supported what who was Like who who donated to who like that that stuff was less apparent whereas now It's just like you can just easily find out this stuff and of course on twitter everybody's saying what they think So now everybody's in everybody's head and it's and it's scary At least it's scary if like well, yeah, especially man If you can't donate to the teams you want to without everyone finding out too, that's that's like Well, I guess it's a thing of like the balancing activity Is there value in it being a thing that people can find or should it be secret? And I think the problem is that this situation is bad, but I feel like it's probably important to know who who Is getting donated to by who you know Like if like if you were don't I don't know like if you're a politician It was like I am going to take the fight to like X on mobile specifically And then it was hidden that they got political donations from X on mobile you'd be like, hmm Like that would be information you probably want to know Of course the concern is everyone using it to attack people Oh, absolutely. I think that's a fair concern. It's it's just a problem of how do you get over like You wouldn't be able to I don't think that it would be okay to make a distinction between individuals and corporations because companies are In a certain sense legally they are their own entity like they are an entity in and of themselves kind of like a person Um, and that's just how it's always been. So it'd be tough to find a way to to balance that And of course, you know like if it were a situation where it's like, oh companies Companies wouldn't be anonymous, but people would then people would probably just find ways to anonymously do it through like trusts or I don't know through just like really rich people who just do it personally or something. So yeah Unfortunately, this is just the side of the the consequence of transparency situations like that happen Feels bad, man. Also. Hi rags Hey, right Hi I'm back wrapped up and we're at home And things are going okay. So I'm gonna hang out and we're gonna talk about stuff and go through some super chats And whatever happens whatever happens happens. We'll just do a little thing at a time We might we don't have to though. No, we don't have to it's not a requirement. That is what is important That's number one It's a nice reference by gone era tv show Everyone didn't watch that mitchellon web look you missed out, okay? This is why I say far leftists are some of the worst people on the planet Please repeat the core thorn message for rags want to hear his thoughts very well Well, I think you already know right the five nights of freddy's guy No, not that um the five nights of freddy guy donated to Um Trump and tulsa gabban As a result Well, I don't know what he's been kind of like that's a trio right there He quit he retired from the industry. Um and from what I understand I think I mentioned it before that there was like it was it was not only people like sort of harassing him But also his wife who I'm pretty sure is pregnant um Who was not involved at all so yeah He retired because of that Well, so it came out and he got a lot of backlash and then he announces retirement from the industry So That's that's pretty clear cause and effect there, you know, yeah, I'm thinking yeah, um He I mean that's like uh As far as the the three people to donate to Like that's yeah, that was that was um because because what I had initially said was what I had heard Which was he had donated to anti lgbc organizations, but then when I looked up Just said that he donated to those candidates and then there was people drew the link between that And like as Mitch McConnell is a more old school establishment republican short trump who's trump And tulsi gabbert who's neither of those two Yeah, she pretty middle-ish Um overall especially these days that's that's quite a it's quite a trio to So he seems like a a a slightly right leaning Individual based on those three You know, he's Ah, no, don't worry.  So I agree But the problem is that I think that there is a lot of value in knowing who is supported by you Yeah, there definitely is absolutely to get over that line as as i'm you know, even though there are circumstances like this I I feel like it's important to know who's being donated to you know Oh, yeah, definitely It's more for the politician though than for the people who did it Like that's meant to be the point of it, you know Like it's to know who the politicians getting money from not whether or not your neighbor is supporting a candidate You don't like you know, yeah, we should care we should care about Who the politicians might be to hold into? You know the wink wink nudge nudge style And not oh no my neighbor voted to You know he of the two candidates he voted or gave money to one of them That I didn't like so we have to get them fired Yeah, I guess I just I just I wish we were more tolerant, you know Yeah How do we be tolerant of the intolerant That feel there will never be another phantom comic movie besides the 1996 vision Well never say never.  It's like that summons them for you when you say you should stop You're like, uh, I I know because I think I scream when we're watching carella like please stop and they're not It's just I think the only modern director that would get people in the seats now be edga, right? I doubt he's made a bad film also high rags Hello, I don't think he's made a bad film even though I'm not a big fan of baby driver um I don't know that You say Tarantino can still get bums on seats I think well, I was about to say I think quick Tarantino more so can like I really like edgarite Um, but most people don't aren't super familiar with his work. Um At least not by comparisons like Spielberg or Tarantino or even Ridley scott, you know Yeah, um, I think there's still quite a few left that could get people in Absolutely. Yeah, we are definitely exiting that age though. At least it feels that way Well, yeah, because um, because I mean a lot of the ones who are sort of in that era Or um, starting to starting to get older, you know, like james camber and Spielberg Um, Ridley scott is getting really old too Oh, man, we're gonna get all them avatar movies soon Yeah, they're coming out. I think uh next year, right? And then there's like one a year after that They're pretty shot to bring back exciting the era of the avatar The era of the era of the avatar, yeah Sam Worthington Revitalizing his career I remember it was really weird because like after avatar came it like in truth out like that time He was just in a lot of movies all of a sudden because he was a terminator and then he was an avatar And then he was in clash the Titans out of nowhere Then he was in nothing else Yeah, kind of He was in a hacksaw ridge Oh, there you go There he is Sam Worthington doing this and that in the background Yeah So on an ask reddit thread people were saying movies haven't gotten worse saying endgame is just as good as back to the future People think I like equals good. Well by that metric will we ever have it like everyone? There's always someone who likes something I don't know what the point of that is Not as good as back as the future. Can we stop? Well, of course not. I kind of was that was just like the given. I was like, so We know that that's not true I would enjoy watching you play rayman 3 for super jack catch-up.  Those games were amazing I'm actually pretty sad that they stopped on that series Look for you whenever they stop anything these days, you have to be thankful that we didn't get the dark timeline where they Run into the ground. I guess I guess the problem is I'm not rayman was like the rayman origins and legends Were just really nice solid 2d platformers. Um I'm not sure how they could have run those into the ground They were they were too pure, you know I think games tend to be more reliable I yeah, I think so Um, you know, you always want sequels to games more so than you want. Um I say that 21 20 20 was a bad year for the games, right? Um, in some ways, yeah Uh, yeah, well, it was it was some peaks and dips.  Well, I haven't played that but yeah, it doesn't seem like a couldn't Um Fringy, you seem to know your comics if they make a dc movie for section eight, which actor do you think should play dog? Welder Actually, I'm in red section eight I'll rip. I don't know what that is In case I need to be too Or it'll be suitable some way shape or form Like yeah, I can delve into a role I imagine that stuff like that is probably inevitable that yeah, they would make something like that Yeah, I can't I can't help you on that one so Also jim sterling supports cancelling carthorne because he's a disgusting amoral schlob schlob Or slob, it's pretty it's just got a h in there Who has problems with sorry That describes his body type pretty well Well, slob is like the expected but then you throw a h in there and it's like slob slob There's no c though.  That's just that's that's the nature That is uh that that existential dread right there Like just you have to like you can't you have to reach down to me. Oh, thank you. Yeah, I hope I know it's one of the things like that wings of redemption Just comes off.   Yeah I remember when I was a kid I used to just call that a hobo stick because I always saw it in media Where like there was that guy just with that little stick with his stuff in it now.   There was plenty of time to correct that problem You were warned How are you lads doing today by the way? I'm doing I'm doing pretty good. Doing all right. It's it is a fine fine day Let's see just be chilling with the Legos talking about whatever be talked about Yeah, we're answering your questions. That's what we're doing Uh, hi waggy daddy bageldoomp Oh Bringing if you were in charge of halo infinite story, how would you write it to fix what halo five broke? Uh I don't know the problem is I feel like ignoring it isn't okay I think you need to find a way to work with it as best you can Um, I I would I would just to salvage cortana. I would do a cop out. There was something in that that forerunner system that um That that just screwed up made it go all fluby and evil That would be like the first fix and so it'll be like cheap trying to fix that and save it um, I would have it that um Lock and osiris team and all of those guys died while returning to their home planet Um, so they're they're gone. They're out Um, and yeah, I guess it would just be the the hyper focus of sheep.  It is just yeah, I It's it's time for him to halo three had a great ending, but it really did Yeah, the problem is that It would have just be better if chief had died even though what they did was a lot more poetic You know, he's back where he started exactly back restarted It's gone back to sleep and when people need him wake him up again He'll come help out.  They'll never let anything go away And that's really unfortunate the problem is that um I mean microsoft have said this over and over and over again, but They want halo to go forever They want it to they want it to be something that they can keep making games for forever And that's all 343 exists to do they just make halo games. I don't make new yps. They make halo um That is their express soul purpose Um, so halo is never gonna die. It'll just keep going and going forever Unless this game couldn't just take halo one two three And build the little side stories around it to reach and do ODST and do these other things that take place in the halo universe and it's like no No, we gotta gotta keep those main characters and we got to use that well We got to keep doing all that You know, that's kind of uh, I say ow, it wasn't my fault because I didn't say these stuff to things But it was our fault collectively because a lot of this stuff with halo four was like oh master chief's finally back It's like oh, I would have been okay with him never coming back like that. That would be fine um It really would have been fine. It would have been great We had our great trilogy Things can be done things can be over It's okay for things to end Even though you know And I guess it's a little awkward because with video games it's it's broadly there is not an expectation that series will end Like mario will not end or at least nobody expects it to end. There would never be That's mario's final outing. He's done. Um, this is the end of his story It's just not something we expect then the same yeah, he's more of a He's more of a brand than a character Yeah, he's like mickey mouse Um, yeah, he's like he gets like he just hit the reset button and now mario's doing this and now he's doing that Now he's going go karting with bowser Yeah, it's like all these little pocket dimensions where each mario can do They can go to this island and he can have a water jetpack and in this island He can walk around on real planets and and that's fine because it's not expected to be this continuous story that cares In that way But halo is the people's mentality is different. Yeah. Halo is totally different Yeah, stakes are often derived from the world story and then halo like yeah Well, it has a plot and things move forward and there are characters and there's stakes And um, and it's not like zelda either where like Each each game is from what I understand either like kind of in a different timeline or a different world or just really far apart from one another To where what happens in one doesn't really affect the other so you can just have it Happen over and over and over again. So even though those games have a story that's involved. They're always self-contained It's not really halo. It has continuity Just like unshotted did and it's funny unshotted had more of a reason to keep going because they kind of it's just pulp adventure But even they wanted to end And that was a good decision.  I don't think it'll be gone forever, but um I just yeah, it would be nice if there was more of a committal to story like games that have stories to just have them end You have your little trilogy or have me, you know, once you want and then and then it's over That's fine with me now. You can do something new. You could go do something else. You can create a new thing Yeah, a new ip you know Sony seems a lot more willing to end uh their franchises though, which uh, I do like like They see they seem to be willing to just say yeah, that's okay. You can stop there and do something new um Seems like microsoft has more of a problem like gears has to keep going and halo needs to keep going um And whatever new stuff they make they'll probably want it to keep going I think gears gets away with it more than anything because its story was never It was never a huge deal It just no one you know the story like oh, I know this character and there's something going on with the world I guess and stuff and things but Like gears five like I I liked the campaign. I'd like the single player. I thought it was quite fun But I'm like I just don't but that's for me a super cash guy who is just like, oh, okay This is the next gears game and I'm gonna play it and I have some fun here and that's that's uh, and that's it I don't know you don't get that. I don't know if you get that kind of connection like halo used to sort of have maybe it has it to the same degree, but I don't know. I think for some franchises it works Like gears might be one where it's just it's okay for it to go on because it's It's it's it's more like spectacle and violence and gameplay and there's not really a narrative to it I Like there is but there isn't you know I'm sure there's people. It's like yeah, there's there's a story into it. Yeah, I'm sure Falcon and Winter Soldier made rags mad. I hate to see Amazon's Lord of the Rings will do to him remove all breakable items from your room rags I think I've just learned to accept that it's different the new um The next like the Lord of the Rings show it's just not it's not Lord of the Rings. It's just that's thing. It's just not Lord of the Rings It's this thing. It's this This zombie Oh puppet corpse. Yeah, I don't know what we'll be dealing with with it. What kind of bad. I mean It'll be interesting to find out but I could choose to not have it. I'd not have it I I'll probably is that is that this hero next year? I don't think it's this year I honestly have no idea. I just haven't followed it enough I'm not even sure that it started production. Oh, no And even if it has it'd probably be next year, right? It probably would probably going to take like a year to do the visual effects on the show that big Yeah, it costs like a bazillion bazillions I think it's the most expensive tv show I've made. Yeah, how many times has that been said this The past two years. Well, yeah, I know There's one division right which is kind of amusing because I can't see it in that show but with this show I'm sure it'll be Yeah really obvious Yeah, Gloky's clearly quite expensive, you know I don't know.  So that last uh that last one shot the visual effects were uh pretty much my happy Just so much money Yeah They are true Jedi Indeed Uh, Tim pool did a video back in 2020 where activists were combed through political don't Activists were combed or combing.  Shut up Can't believe he said that um Well, no, I can but um, but yeah, like how there was a website where it's just like Oh, we're gonna have it so that like if you see somebody on twitter who said something You don't like we'll have a website that has their name and their address where they work Like It sounds like a terrible horrible dystopian idea.  All right Yeah, no good person wants this information Yeah, everybody all the time Important that I know exactly where you live. You're like, um It's like why do I don't pay you visit I feel like you got a lot of things to prove that Um, Fringy thoughts on drake bell Um He's in trouble, isn't he? Oh Oh, no, I think he's in like actual legal trouble. I think he's done naughty things much more He was selling substances to younger people is what's alleged Um, well, I think he's I think the thing I saw today is whatever he was charged with he pleaded guilty So, um, but I'm not I'm not familiar with the the whole situation. So unfortunate Whatever it's going on Is fringy also Jeff Bezos in story mode In story mode of what I don't know Life is one big story mode unless you're rich then it just becomes free play I I wonder what that would be like Bezos simulator If that was a video game just play Jeff Bezos. You have to run Amazon Uh, god, please. No, let avatar die the first movie wasn't even that good It had some revolutionary effects at the time, but besides that it's really bland What do you even do for sequel? Well, I mean, it's a whole sci-fi universe They could do anything But I you know, we'll have to see I guess James Cameron really wants to make it. So he's making it He's very you get to make it. He um Yeah, it seems like he's super super Interested makes me wonder why like is this his big creative vision that he just has to have done Or does he just want to make more money? I think I don't think it's about the money. He's already He's a billionaire. I guess he really thinks that this is great Yeah, I think I think um, I think so I mean, I know that one of the things I've talked about is there is like even more new Pioneering visual effects this time around like there's there's techniques and they've developed for shooting like underwater sequences That have never been done before um So I guess I'm I guess that's the thing is like I'm curious to see what this movie is Purely technical reasons because otherwise I'm not like yeah I'm curious and hopefully that kind of thing will really help the industry make even I don't know Do I want the industry to have better effects? I I guess I do you know what I just I just like the tech. I think visual effects guys do some really cool work like, um Like to stuff with Thanos. That's really cool Immediately like more excuses for shitty writing Like well tech though. They already have that so wine as well go all for it At least when the writing shitty at least I want to be able to gok at something cool Yeah, I guess the awkward part is though is like for those little interests I have an avatar like I feel like it's got a better chance of being a good Not a good film, but like a better film that a lot of what's coming out right now The story that's simple, you know, maybe you can't fuck it up. I've enjoyed a lot of James Cameron's work, so So am I and like avatar is not like a bad film at all. It's just really fine. It's just fine The um, I'm curious about how good the dialogue is in that film. So I remember the story beats I remember the dialogue being all right. I remember I really liked um, was it quidditch? Was that no quidditch is the product was the name of the one that uh, Stephen Lang played Oh, like the sergeant guy Yeah, I liked him. Yeah, I liked him too And I like Sigourney Weaver in it as well Quarish that was the name quidditch I guess it's another thing as well as um, it seems like As crazy as it is as it is to think like dude for sequels It's like so James Cameron's like actually passionate about this idea clearly That's what's gonna keep it alive. I mean, it's gonna make money each one of those damn things is gonna make a gajillion dollars I think they will make a lot of money I don't know that they'll make as much money as the original film But I guess the the observation more so is like he actually has an interest in making this which is worth something to me Even though I have no interest in avatar really as a as a series He cares Yeah Out of curiosity if you guys watched any of the pitch meetings from ryan george Uh, I've seen a couple of them. No, they're amusing The the idea is like the person who writes the movie comes into the office to pitch the idea and the the person they say it to was like a rational person And so okay, I like that. Yeah. Yeah, it's a good format because it'll just be like You know tlj. It'll be like, uh, we'll have um, luke be old decrepit homeless and annoying and belligerent and drinking milk and it's like won't everybody hate that and it's like, yes Like as if it's a part of the plan or something. It's just yeah, they'll do different jokes that kind of thing Um Snow white isn't that snow white. Yay adaptation I mean, yeah, adaptation argument does apply though Is it's weird for the name though Um, I I would say that it's it is it is probably the the the one that is the most You know, it's like of all of the disney princesses. It's like this one is is the weirdest one that you chose You know, like I feel like you have all the ones to race swap.  This is more of just like a I don't I don't know you could have done this with like cinderella or bell And I think it would have been less strange for most of you know, you can't you know, I send oh I don't know about cinderella. You're acting. She's called cinderella because the suit makes her skin look black Oh, oh That would be really awkward Yeah, you're right I didn't know that or maybe I did. It's just been so long since I've watched that movie. I think the I think the um The little mermaid one is the weirdest you're acting Yeah, because you need to have someone you could so I think I talked Um, I think I talked about this on the stream yesterday There were some set photos that got leaked and it looks like it's set in the caribbean and like based on those set photos it legitimately seems like Like it's being changed from um Like a danish castle to like a plantation in the caribbean like unironically. I think that's what they're doing Are the mermaids black over there like off the coast of africa? Do they have black mermaids? Ended up in scandinavia in the fjords. Do you have the the white? Well, I guess that's what i'm curious about right like what how does it work in terms of your Uh anatomy as a mermaid, you know in terms of like melatonin and stuff not melatonin melatonin Hey, I wish maybe we'll be watching we wish we had melatonin um But uh, yeah, I'm pretty sure it's I'm pretty sure that's what they're going for it looks that way It looks like a caribbean plantation a lot of the uh Yeah, just seems like that's the that's the change and of course that would be adaptation, right? um Yeah, sure, but again, it's it's these remakes. Just i'm sick of them like On a principle level like I really don't like Yeah We have the we're super cynical about them at this point and I think right now Any reason to believe that any of these will be any good, but you know, we'll still give them a chance Even in cruella We felt that they had something they could have used and they fucked it Yeah, well if it's a plantation in the caribbean, then maybe nits aren't the only thing getting picked I don't get that one. That's right. It's easy fringy. Come on It's not All right. Well, I feel like if we were to elaborate rags won't be on youtube anymore Let's say goodbye So in response to today's batwoman, uh, oh, I oh wait, I guess this is the one that we released That's good. Not mary just finished medical school. Like they said she was back in season one Then have her own clinic not underground and funded by the wane foundation.   It would be cool if um That's actually how it went and then she like thanked jacob for getting her on the right track That's never gonna happen Oh that would be Oh Such fun Now which of these are the best at tangential learning movies video games or tv? I think games specifically multiplayer I'm not sure what tangential learnings Wikipedia and here I go It's one of my andy Tangential learning So tangential learning is the process by which people self educate around the topic But it's exposed to them through something I already enjoy So um, I guess the idea would be like if you like science fiction that might encourage you to learn about actual science Maybe yeah, because games Games have a problem solving component to them Uh, so if you it requires you to take some level of initiative And that it can often be stuff that sticks with you. I have to find out this thing I'm gonna have to go out and figure out how it works Therefore or I'm gonna have to immediately learn it and then apply it To something if I get taught something and then I have to do something with it It'll stick with me because I have to at least I It's not like I'm watching a movie or something where the problem sorts itself out in the narrative I have to make it happen and maybe that means it'll stick with me all the better I would imagine in that case that the two that would be the best for tangential learning would have to be like video games and reading I feel like probably yeah Because they're the most yeah the book won't read itself, but the movie will play itself. So absolutely. Yeah, exactly You need to pay attention to reading.  So And also when it comes to books, what is that word? I should look it up what that word is Oh, I learned a new word Even if it's simple as that with a movie or something like that You can't just like stop a lot of the times by the time it you want to go learn it It's already kind of passed and the moment's gone and You a lot of you know, you'll lose your initiative to go back and get that one thing because it's just it carries on But I think I think it's a matter of like I just I'm pretty sure that it's categorical I know it is with books and I gotta imagine it is with video games. It's just like For whatever reason it just it engages your brain Like it just engages your brain more so than um than like passive activities do it's why people encourage you to read and it's why I'm not Do they depend on engagement of the person rather than the medium then? Um what it might be But I think it's just a matter of like you have to engage more with something that cannot complete itself Like with a book you like you have to pay attention. You have to read it You can't like if you're just you're not really Yeah, you just have to engage and similarly with a video game. It won't play itself Like for me, I am much more into video games than I am into Movies and shows as much as I like shows and movies. I am definitely far and out Well, wait, so what's the answer if um the person is 100 engage with all of them? Uh, I don't know in that case I don't know. Can you be equally engaged the three completely different things? I I mean if for the hypothetical I suppose you can but Definitely, I mean I assume the one that requires the most physical work would just by definition. It has more elements That the others don't even kind of apply. Yeah, I can't can't apply that is to say I guess the game simply objectively requires more input than a movie does so I guess I think what more is trying to say is like what if I don't know you as an individual are Engaging 100 with like any piece of media that you're consuming whether it's a movie or a video game You're just always 100 paying attention I guess if it's So I guess the whole point of learning tangential learning is the process of trying to get to that 100 percent um But if we assume from the bat that you are paying attention 100 Do you mean as you're paying attention as much as much as it's possible for you or paying attention in the way that You don't miss anything within the media. Let's come up with an example We're playing something amnesia And it's like you've got to make a potion to melt the acid, which is a real thing, but um I'm not sure if this is actually in the game But it tells you need to collect this this and this combine them and you'll make an acid and let's just say that reflects True life And as a result you're like, oh my god, I just learned about chemistry.  I don't know um You know who is more likely to I just feel like at that point You're pretty much just gonna get equal results depending on the person Yeah, I guess I mean if we assume that the person is 100 percent and everything Then I don't think there's gonna be any difference. What's gonna be more different is not necessarily the medium It's what's actually, you know, what the information itself and I guess Maybe maybe we uh, this is all this we might have just totally misunderstood what tangential learning even is If the well because the thing is the person who asked this question said that their pick was multiplayer specifically Um Which is interesting. I always assume like puzzle games or something would be the ones that probably would be the most beneficial Um, well, it depends on maybe special awareness. You just naturally develop spatial awareness tactic strategy Awareness of your environment Maybe no other people Recognizing, you know, whatever people do and how to exploit that and if you're playing like a city builder game That might be or like a game about architecture or I don't know like farming simulator And then you actually learn things about farming But it's just by virtue of that's what the game is about like no matter what you're gonna learn something Unless you're like totally Not paying attention It's true.  I didn't even pick up what was in that page Like they they managed to read the words without Well, we'll be the yeah, they're just kind of on autopilot.    You're going to work. It is You know, we've done this you know 10 times this week or whatever so you're You're ready And back and then you just arrive and you just means to sort as you're walking into our building You're like, oh, I'm aware of what I'm doing now So the definition seemingly of tangential learning is that you learn about you choose to learn about something because you consume something that you enjoy That's what it is Yes, I feel super subjective Yeah, because at that point I feel like anything could be equally as capable of Engaging them if that's what it means is the idea with him that person having chosen multiplayer That you come across people in iRL and then they talk to you about stuff and that stuff is like interesting Because it's outside of your culture or something like that Um, I guess the problem is I actually think that's less engaging to me Then it would be if it was just a topic that that's me I don't know like I like if somebody was like, hey, do we want to talk about it? I don't know if that would work as well for me as opposed to me consuming something that I really enjoyed that was about a subject That I find interesting Yeah, it's about it. It's not it's not just the information necessarily it's its presentation might open you up to new Like hey this thing it's actually super fucking cool and amazing um For a lot of people myself included battlefield one Was like the first thing that they'd ever sort of learned about world war one because it often gets kind of passed over because of you know world war two And it's a really insanely interesting You know event and conflict that occurred and a lot of people just they don't they know of it They know there was a first world war, but they don't really know that much about it Yeah, but but then you know you play the game and you see all the gadgets and knickknacks and innovations and dude ads And you're like wow, this is actually like really interesting and neat and exciting and tragic And I kind of want to I want to learn more about it And so they search out stuff and they pay attention to oh this youtuber is going to talk about this thing And I want to learn about you know this battle and I want about this innovation and all that kind of stuff And it's really nifty Also, that definitely seems like a uh go ahead actually I was just gonna say in this fucking game I got over to here with these stormtroopers and I'm like this is pretty neat And if you just watch me go into this room, I was like the camera's not following me.  I lost all my money ages ago That's not really a problem anymore because I'm very close now to unlocking times two studs So we'll be fine on true jedi as soon as I get that Activate the jack pack jango. You can do it. I believe in you And go Wow, it's really not letting me. Um What were you gonna say? Hi, um on the world war one, I guess that's an interest that makes sense. I guess because america wasn't as involved We learned a lot about world war one here Yeah Mainly because of galipoli It's just a thing that you learn about Um, I guess in america makes sense. Do you guys weren't really involved for most of it? Um, I think I screwed myself over My flight is deactivated for no reason so I can't get out of here Game breaking bug Yeah, it's like a soft locked. It just doesn't let me fly This ain't soft lock. This is like this is game breaking bug.  He has to restart the the level and all this again Yep, which is annoying because I can collect all the mini kits again, but Like ask you can't do it either. They just cut his flight as soon as I step off the platform, which they don't normally do but You can get soft lock because of a glitch a glitch can cause a soft Well, the problem is this isn't a soft lock. It's impossible for him to get back. It's it's broken Like are his inputs doing anything? Like he can run around and it is physically impossible for him to get to the place that he needs to in order to progress It's it. This is a game. Yeah, that's off. Yeah, this is not soft locking. No, it's not How is this a soft lock? He can still play but he can't let the battle begin Mechanic just isn't functioning like it's not functioning. That's not no this It's absolutely not soft locking Yeah If a glitch prevents you from being able to move forward this this is not soft locking the game's broken Oh, yeah, well you can that can be also soft locking too. No soft locking is like more than one way to get yourself into No soft locking is like when you lose yourself into a corner Soft locking doesn't have to be because of your own You know making I'm not as hard on this because I don't really have strict definitions, but I thought the difference between um, a hard lock and a soft lock was when it's like practically impossible But you could still actually get out of it and so so for example like You can get yourself to the point where you have maybe one hp against the big huge impossible boss with no ammo and no no way to stop it, but um Basically the odds are like astronomical that you could ever defeat it, but In technicality, it's not but everyone would call that soft lock. Yeah So apparently according to somebody on reddit the difference between a soft lock and a hard lock is um, that's a uh Uh, there was a there was a more simple summary. Uh, basically they said a hard lock is something that you can't recover from you have to start over Um, but they say from completely from the beginning, but here like you have to restart the whole level Right, like there's nothing you can do I would say that would make it. If you would ask me, I would have called this a hard lock not a soft lock. Yeah All right. I I yeah, I I would call it a soft lock. It was a soft lock Because apparently I just escaped but I don't know why okay, that was a soft lock then. Yeah, because you escaped I don't know why they activated my jet pack suddenly, but let's that that that still means Hard lock would be like a crash or your inputs can't You can't even play Soft lock is you can play but you cannot progress. No No, they said a hard lock is where like if you turn off the game Who's you why should anybody like that's not a good point to make I'm about to tell you the argument Then you stopped me like if you have the if you have the um, no point in stopping me from trying to log against If all you're gonna say is it's my definition go away.  I'm just telling me it's my definition.   You're fucked. You have to restart the whole thing Like in this case a level but in a bigger game the whole game So like an rpg if you somehow lost yourself into a corner um Yeah, if it were revealed to me that there was a fucking 0.01 percent chance There's jetpack would work every time I try I'd be like so that's a soft lock then because this is insane But if they said it's impossible and I'll be stuck on that platform forever Then I'm just hard locked and I can't do anything. That's how I thought it worked Yeah, like wow because yeah Another person says that a soft lock is a lock you can recover from in some way But a hard lock you can't recover from if you turn the game off and back on it will put you back in it Hold on The problem is that there's no official. It's all credit Well, yeah, you'd have to know what's the most utility benefit in the definition here Well, I I see another one that says that it's it's something like um, it's it's where The game something in the game stops working that makes it's the way you can't keep going forward So it's like something breaks in the game that makes it impossible completely But would that be a break if like Is there a difference between it being a design flaw that you can't fly back versus I feel like that's more than a design flaw, you know Like um, if if a mechanic just ceases functioning Yeah for no reason at all for no reason at all like that to me was definitely a bug Especially because it stopped bugging out for some reason right whereas it seems like a soft lock is a design flaw Or like you made a mistake and then it makes it to where you can't play anymore like it was a design oversight That doesn't seem like an oversight that seems like a bug Wait, sorry design oversight versus a bug what is the difference there? I feel like an over so an oversight Imagine like you made a puzzle and just for some reason you overlook something and the puzzle can't be completed Like you just forgot to do something in the design to make it to where it's impossible to beat Whereas like a bug will be that it is beatable But something went wrong in the programming that like breaks it I mean, maybe if I had like I had the ability to lock doors behind me But and open them but I only had five and then at one point I lock five doors in a row and then I'm locked myself into a room and it's like they've got no way for me to Yeah, like that would be a puzzle where they just fail to account for that as a thing They didn't think you like it Or something that they just didn't notice themselves while they were designing it Maybe like that would be an example of a design oversight where a bug would be that like through no fault of your own Something just went wrong and then it breaks the game In a way that you couldn't like restart Yeah, I mean that was like that lines up for me like that's probably how I would use those words Um, yeah, obviously like actually crashing the game and stopping it um I feel like I don't even know that I would just like if someone said, ah, you got hard locked I'd be like it crashed. So yeah, I guess so. I don't know It's like, uh, I don't think it crashed with me a hard lock. Yeah, um I'm just trying to And then when I still they just infinite spawn you can you can cut off the spawns, but then they come back Okay, and then another one that says that a soft lock is um a situation where a video game remains apparently playable But further progress is oh, okay. Well, this definition includes glitch in it This definition says that a design for and a glitch makes further progress impossible even though it's apparently playable um And I'm trying to see where hard lock is what it says um A soft lock. Yeah progressing becomes impossible. It's an event that can happen to speedrunners. Hmm.  I was getting nuked every time I stood out the door so um Uh that meant that if I wanted to progress I'd have to go back from the beginning, but that would be a soft lock, right? um I guess the part that's getting me hung up is like in the instance that we just had there um If you restarted the game and it puts you at a different checkpoint. I feel like that like Did would that not count as starting you back from the beginning again? Like if it or at least starting you in a different location I mean relatively, you know, it would start me at the cantina meaning I've lost all progress for this level I feel like then I feel like the distinction is at that point is pointless Like if you lose all your progress by restarting the game Uh, like you have to restart the level. I feel like that's a significant enough like loss That whether it means you have to start from the beginning or start from there Like that's and also what happens if you're playing a game where you have save points or something And you can just restart the save points does that mean that game is impossible to have at any locks at all? Like the the only games that can have a hard lock or a soft lock against which auto save? Hmm I don't know that and I and I was assuming that there was like an element of like if you lose into a corner like that But that's an element of soft lock that you can lose yourself into a corner Um, and so it's impossible to progress because you just don't have enough Well, yeah, like I said if you were free to use your ammo throughout the whole game And you just unload every single bullet and every last piece of money you have right before a boss and save The game doesn't supply ammo in fights because it's trying to make it a little bit more difficult And it's like yay, I would assume that's I wonder if the difference there between soft locking and hard locking is whether or not it's still possible to kill the boss Well, um, well, so somebody a chat said the idea is that a design floor is a component of both of them Um, but is it a design floor if that's what the game is about? You know like if a game says there are I don't know 100 bullets in this game Um, and you need at least 10 bullets to beat the final boss or something Um, if that if if that's the case, it's like it's possible to lose into a corner But that's the game was designed on purpose that way. So there's no design floor Does that mean that game is incapable of having hard locks and soft locks?  I think all I'm realizing from this conversation is that That accepting that any definition of hard lock or soft lock is like categorically correct is not The definition is a little yeah, the definitions are unclear. So or at least they seem to vary and it doesn't factor into Yeah, I don't know how useful these definitions are now Well, yeah, especially with how many how many games there are and how many Mechanics there are and how many ways they can pull apart Uh, somebody's somebody's raised one that's interesting at the game auto saves me 0.5 seconds before a mortar hits me Is that a hard lock?  I think I've done that to myself on but the thing with bio shock is I always do a new save so If you say the sky is beautiful spring is the kind of guy to say But what does beautiful mean is it really beautiful or is it our perception? Would it still be beautiful if you're blind? Oh, I mean if you don't like these conversations, that's fine Um, I was gonna say the light chat is the kind of guy who hates conversations.  Uh, like like a weird observation There's a podcast where we talk about like Things for a really long time Also If someone said someone was beautiful, I think we've already had that conversation like if I've agreed. It's beautiful It's just purely subjective. Well, yeah, I don't see how anybody could not see any value in having that conversation I did I'm not definitive on hard locking and soft locking, but I want to know what everyone thinks is typical I saw someone mention that soft locking hard locking are unnamed because soft locking relates to software issues and hard locking relates to hardware issues Which I don't know about that. Ah, man. I feel like that Well, you know what's interesting about that is that I'm emulating at Gamecube right now and so Is it a hardware issue? If my pc running the Gamecube like emulating the Gamecube's hardware Fails to be able to support the software is required. You know what I mean? It's going to get hard to figure out exactly what's happening. What's wrong Well, I think I think the problem would be it would be hard to figure out Like like if a game has a bug that causes the game to freeze but the console itself was free It's like well, which is it was that the software or the hardware Um, it'd be hard to identify the cause I would imagine and of course you as a gamer Like a lot of the time is going to be hard for you to tell whether it's a software or a hardware issue, you know Yeah, or at least like the average person and at that point the definitions become I guess less meaningful This is a good old fashioned podcast of why Often do you feel that the world building and law within most forms of media should be important from the writer's perspective Uh Especially in speculative fiction, I think This is always going to be contextual, right? I think I'm trying to I'm trying to think of an example where it wouldn't be important. Um Um, does something like you know, like, uh, let's say they made a sequel to breaking bad a sequel series Would breaking bad therefore be considered lore at that point to that series? Yeah, or like haunting of like is is that even its own? Because it just uses the name but the lore is different Or oh, do you mean like lore relating to how the ghosts work sort of thing? Well the I get the world in which it Because they seem to be As far as I remember they're two completely different things Well, yeah, and people will like they can't coexist series name because the ghosts have different mechanics Which I don't even think is necessarily true. You could have multiple forms of ghosts That have different cases, you know I if and if it never mattered and it I mean Feels like a cheap answer, but if it never mattered to begin with I guess you don't have to Treat it that importantly But in that kind of scenario it Like the like if you were to say, um You need to make a game that is the What's a gamer series where each one needs to be Like it by design is it like a twilight zone episode, right? If someone would say write a twilight zone episode, do you know all the twilight zone lore in world building? But that's an anthology though, so I guess yeah Well, yeah, that's the thing if it's something of that nature Then I don't feel like the world building in lore is important Unless it's you know not counting your own obviously your own is important. Don't break your own lore and don't break your own rules um Assuming they're all completely disconnected stuff that exists Yeah, if it exists outside of anything that has anything to do with anything important or relevant And it's fine to ignore it But with practically everything that it's brought up with today Whether it be star wars or dr. Who or anything like that You're gonna have to pay attention to it Because it's part of the story and it's part of the reason why things happen as they do Yeah, I mean the the quick answer to this is just you have to pay attention to it relative to how much it's Mattering to the the current work you're doing and then that's determined by I guess in a case of like lord of the rings a lot of its History is really relevant to its story So you need to make sure you actually know what you're talking about when it comes to the lore for the characters To be able to reference it properly But then when you deal with something like the first episode of breaking bad you'd be like, what is breaking bad's lore? It's like, I don't know his used to be a teacher We would be as a teacher The lore is the collection of events that have occurred in that world Wait, what what was that contradicting in the sense that it's Well, I'm just it's I'm just what I'm saying No, I thought you because I thought you were saying the so I said like the lore would in that case be all of the Stuff that he's done prior that's going to be relevant in that particular episode, which is I guess you need to know That uh, he's been a teacher for x amount of time he has been he's had this family for this amount of time but like when compared to something like lord of the rings It's really not going to be that complicated But then again, it's really as complicated as you want it to be Like oh, how much you know you're going to end up referencing Yeah, I mean one person's personal history is probably not going to be as complicated as an entire thousand plus year history of a well fleshed out You know world But they're still both they're both still lore Well, yeah, that's why I'd stand to be lore. It's just like the question is essentially like when should Well, how important should that be from a writer's perspective? It's just like going to be as important as it's required in the moment I suppose or the buy moment by moment If you never reference any of the history of the show which is unlikely I suppose you wouldn't need to care about it too much. Just remember all the stuff you've put down in your current story It's certainly important if you want people in your audience to believe that you care about it If you're constantly breaking your own law and rules then you might foster an audience where That kind of thing just doesn't matter Yeah, that might not be something you want at all example of that like what's what's a I say that like I wouldn't reference Star Wars even though disney Don't give a shit clearly. Um, I just mean like a show or running IP whether the audience don't care about the law batwoman Because they constantly are just like forget things that happen all the time I don't even know what the fans of that show actually care about. It would be tough to figure that out They care about the message of the week and the you go girl and yes queen slay. That's what they care about The names garsden's acting is always praised for how well she captures the insanity of alice But it's always the same every time No twitching and big open eyes. That's it.  I'm gonna have to play another level Oh Yeah, hopefully that answers that Bring you seem to keep up with the wings of redemption law ever hear the liquid richard albums. They're all amazing Carrie diamond is god tier masterpiece I have not heard those.  Look listen An old and but a good masterpiece it really kind of defined a lot of lol kawari to come Yeah It's funny to think that it all started with a 1v1 on modern warfare and bog like that was Where it all went wrong Yeah, kind of Episode four bonus. Okay dupa story Character bonus mini kit bonus. I have no idea what any of this means Is it like I have to complete these things within time limits or something? Hmm time trials and uh, like a star wars. Oh boy intense, isn't it? Yeah Um, if halo infinite doesn't acknowledge the existence of osiris that would be a okay with me god I hope infinite is good. I want to believe Yeah, I want to believe too, but I don't know about campaign multiplayer. Maybe but campaign. I'm still Yeah, don't know What's uh, what's osiris? The team with there's one of the teams Spons those blue team which is master chips team and then osiris which was locks team No, really lame even though they had buck, but he wasn't the same person. Um But then again, it was dialogue that whole game everybody's just exposes constantly Everybody talks but like nothing's happening. It's really weird What am I supposed to be doing here just collecting studs?  Have you seen the sick new show Loki? It's about Thor's brother And it's so funny the element of choice has been removed from the MCU lol 10 out of 10 Well, yeah pretty much Unfortunate but um, you know some people still like it. I've heard people exist Yeah, I'm gonna get a Loki season two and it's gonna be even better Yeah, I'm probably a season four Oh this guy's bleeding money.  If any of you guys played it. What did you think? Oh, no, no, not Arkham Knight. I'm playing Um I think it had a bit of a rocky launch, but from what I know people like it It had a rocky launch. That's one way to put it It didn't work just on pc. It's completely broken. It didn't work for some people Um, wow it was so bad that they had to take it off of steam Yeah Like months and even when it came back it still wasn't like great. Well, it's funny because um Mila had it on release and uh I remember talking about how it's been received and he like fully completed it without any issues at all He was just like, I don't know if that was happening It must have been the only one No, there was a lot of people that whipped that way for it's it wasn't consistent enough So they had to take it down People just didn't work at all. It was one of those just compatibility things as far as I would hope now It's all been written down to work for everybody, right? Uh, I'm pretty sure that they fixed it a bit, but not completely Um, but that was Warner Brothers games who as you know have a pretty shitty track record when it comes to pc ports Mortal Kombat X And also Mortal Kombat 11 like the fact that they've locked a lot of things 30 fps like the fatalities that was really stupid Yeah, to get like a patch to actually make those run at 60 fps I think um There was a bit of that with scholar of the first sense of the boxes to buying the um expanded version give you access to like 60 fps or some oh higher resolutions Guys you can't be doing this That's so bad Maybe I've got to get a million studs within five minutes if that's it. I don't think I'm doing this At least I'll know what I'm supposed to do Uh recently watched a quiet place too. It's like the first one. Everything is great except the writing which is awful Uh, well When we're talking about stories That's one of those bits you're gonna want to try and get done But uh, we're too familiar that they don't I'm sure we'll check it out at some point, but I just got no, uh, no rush on that one With the dnd creators making a new edition of this space opera ttrpg Would you be down to a campaign based on the hopes you had for the sequels? so like a dnd Because I don't want to do a campaign where I run into all of the famous star wars characters And I go to all the iconic places in star wars. You don't want to meet Boba No, I don't want to meet Boba.  I don't want to see any of these people ever again I'm sick of them being just trotted out to fuel something else I just I want to be done with them. I want them to just be finished and gone Yeah, I don't want to feel like an accessory in somebody else's story You do get to a point if you're gonna work really hard to craft a fan fiction The respects the franchise or whatever. She's like, why didn't you just end up making your own story at that point, you know Go for it Other stars So now we know that why they released Loki in june and we know that Loki will never be the bad guy again because he's bi Also, they will never kill him. Hi rag Hello I'm so obitra. Well, it's weird calling this guy Loki Yeah, but I guess that's the name we have to use for him because they haven't given us another name Loki famous for his entertaining of the masses and looking after them during times of need That's just yes He was telling me the philanthropist Like the um the hedonist. Yeah, that's like you're right hedonistic I like how we got to announce that who he is like that's me. That's what I do. It's like he's not You're a liar It's like it's what you started doing five minutes ago, but up until this point never done that before That's not true. That's a lie. He's lying to you Nobody will get it. It's it's like the show is lying to you through a mouthpiece of someone you used to know And uh, yeah, they have But I thought they fast-tracked in episode one, but they didn't even do enough like character development You know, I mean you want to convince this that he's just straight up pretty much a good guy Even though not a few days earlier. He killed any people and I feel bad When he's like they're gonna leave all of these people here. It's like, um You don't care.     We all enjoy a bit of that For us in a while Remember he he made it explicit. It's not about enjoying the pain.  He did let's recontextualize it. It wasn't that you're evil, right? And he's like, no what's not Because I'm misunderstood If people watch Loki before all of the other stuff and there's enough people watching the show and that's just Why not the case for a certain number of people and then they go back a while Let's look you guys really cool. I want more of them and so then they go back and watch all the other stuff They'll be like, wait, hold on Who's this guy?  I'm pretty sure there's a lot of references in that for his They're off.  I need a character who's like really good at killing people fast All right, only three minutes over the timer So I have to get to a million. I'm doing pretty good But the text is red means you're doing badly The problem I feel is that microsoft didn't have new successful IPs for over like 10 years now I like microsoft, but they're still trying to fix their mess from the xbox one also high moeller and fringy Um, hey, I agree. Um, they're still trying to catch up But they're getting there and they're getting there real fast So I think uh, I think if if if sony continues to be complacent, they're gonna be in a lot of trouble Like unironically like that would just be more interested in microsoft stuff Because there's more variety that just is at least like if you look at game pass is way more variety on the microsoft side Man, I don't think I got my golden brick because I did so badly, but I'm not sure who I should play as to do this yeah recommendations because Django wasn't good enough. I need someone who's really good at killing randies fast Weirdly leia was way better than uh Uh, Django Why is that weird? Um, oh He's like a bounty hunter and she's just a girl with a gun. That's probably why Wow Literally any lightsaber character vader No, that's just just regular moll See my mask is still on you don't want to hear my mask off opinions Fast-firing guns Field droid, I don't think droidica's gonna be any good Wombo fast Daja binks kills random troopers by accident true Keep jumping with han and then shoot. All right, let's try that. I'm assuming I have han There he is don't regular han solo um Have you seen tonal's new video on ds2 if so thoughts? Oh god, I didn't know that he did that He did video on ds2 doxels two seven years later Mostly pve discussed. Oh, yeah Be curious. I don't know what he said about it But obviously you guys might know that I'm not a huge fan of that game Oh, really like like I'm into it. Sure. It's pretty neat. But yeah, not not super I've been too scared to watch it. That could make sense. Yeah Any character?  That's it. It's not There's nothing interesting about it There's nothing compelling about it. I don't care about anybody.   Lowkey sucks I agree.  So like why Is any of this happening? It's like well I'll have a fight scene right?  Yeah, okay That was a really weird conversation, but what are you gonna do?   It's like wait that was your plan You were just gonna go to tackle it Then it's like well it works because none of them have any good defenses at all.  Yeah, there's no reason Mando all the fighting is terrible Wandavision the fighting is terrible Falcon we're a soldier fighting is terrible. The fighting of Falcon which soldier is impressively crap Hey a lot of people thought it was good Oh, yeah I've signed a wonder if we're moving into that era. It's not about or I guess you could say it's been like this forever But it's not about making stuff as good. It's about looking like you're good Yeah Yeah, apparently it's much easier to pull off Wow.  Yeah, that's kind of Whether it's Loki or Wanda or Anyone in Falcon the winner soldier.  You cared when they did it to Luke Was he the exception? I guess He's pretty much like it as far as we look at it.  Are we gonna praise avatar for being Cameron's creative vision? Is it gonna get the Snyder cut treatment?  It's like army of the dead and stuff like that You show it to people. There's still not much though Give him something a little shorter Oh, yeah, like yeah, give him a Yeah, because army of the dead's like a blur in my mind Yeah, lucky that was reported so that we can remember it through watching back But uh, yeah, that was was it two and a half hours. I think army of the dead. Yeah. Yeah, something like that felt longer Yeah Do we praise TLJ because round head had a vision?  What was the um Oh, just the this this challenge. I'm doing it's pretty tough, but Han Solo is a good character to do it with Um Also, it's playing the soundtrack. I'm just gonna talk and then we should be there we go I don't know if that'll clip us or not probably will um Hear the news about the Star Wars acolyte show they purposefully hide writers who've never seen star wars Oh and good day rags Reminds me of 343. We got people who had to halo. It's like why This is the thing man Like if someone said wait, do you think it's impossible someone to write something good if they haven't seen stars before?  I don't know why Yeah, they this person must have had the correct politics or they knew the right person or something Because the idea that normal people of you're gonna write a star wars show You should probably know about star wars Yeah Like it's it's so dead obvious to us. We wouldn't have even like maybe thought about it as being a thing because it's so obvious Well, yeah, you probably should Know about star wars and care about it. All right. I'm coming for noray Specifically in chat coming right for you see that right there That hey turn the music off in the options. What does that say, huh?   But the like music off. Well, you're still gonna get some The way this game works is the they respawn all of the barrels for me to destroy so I can't just go to literally keep moving around my size, you know Probably how you do it? Uh avatars just a remake of fin gully the lost rainforest I mean all of people people ever say about avatars that it's just a copy of something else Yeah Carbon lived among them and then wendy Yeah, we ran it over to build something. Yeah And then and then she sold the rights to James Cameron And lost everybody and cotton became he was that was a glendech parody. I remember Where he's crying about how much he loves his school And then he has to be a student principal.   We do not sound the same Right, what's that score people think I sound like an internet historian I don't know why I don't hear that at all. You have completely different accents I don't know. Like maybe that's the meme like it's the we put on an accent to play the other or something Hmm. I don't know Is that a capture me in this area? Is it keep making me collect? We're moving out I guess James passions are blue cat people on and diving deep underwater I mean, yeah, if you look into the production of abyss That was a big old passion flumps for mr. James and if you watch drinkers video on it You'll find and I didn't know this apparently he was like close to dying on the set because um You scuba diving and um His tank wasn't working And he tried to like surface And some like a helper dive the safety person like came to get him and try to make him use his Thing because it wasn't in his mouth Assuming that was the solution and he almost killed James Cameron because he didn't realize what the problem was Oh my god, that's like that's paraphrasing. I was just like jeez. I had no idea And then after all that James decided to go back down to the Marianas trench Yum I got mother south poker. I always loved the uh the production of titanic I'm not like a huge fan of that film, but just a really I like the made film. Yeah Last hour. I mean That would be an example of where I'm like even if the script's got its issues Like you can appreciate the film making more so than like a lot of other films I find that absolute the way we're moving culturally is we have less and we're like Desensitized to CGI even though it takes so much for people to make what they make in those It's just like it's just not as impressive to the eye anymore I think it's just because everybody does it now. So it's like expected. It's just a part of the process I'm ashamed like in terms of like a lot of courage us to not appreciate people for it Because like I was you know, the low key sequence.  No budget too steep. No seat too deep. Who's that? It's him James Cameron It's a nice little song It is I'm not gonna do it again Do a tough one It's okay because There's more questions to answer Avatar 2 is coming out and you've got to deal with it.  I don't care really Yeah, I don't really care I'll watch it probably. I just just out of curiosity I feel like the likelihood of it being good is just higher than a lot of the stuff we're getting so Yeah It's just hilarious considering it's like, yeah Is it Correct me if I'm wrong, but it does seem like everybody's everybody's shitting on it already, right? Nobody's really in its camp No, um Because everybody I don't know. Yeah, everybody's just super cynical about it. It's funny because I'm less cynical about it than other stuff Yeah It's like, you know, you clearly want to make it it could be I Mm-hmm Sorry, I wasn't clear story mode is internet historian secret gaming channel. Whoever plays Jeff Bezos on that channel sounds like Frankie. Oh Apparently you sound like someone on there. Yeah, I mean fair enough. I suppose. Yeah a lot of australians out there Jeff Bezos famous australian in fact, they almost feel like they're disproportionately represented and um In like internet figures. I feel like I see australians a lot more than I probably should considering population Well, because there's only 25 million of us um Well, I mean, I feel like you say that but I feel like um, I feel like it all lines up, right? There's a lot of canadians and a lot of british people and americans and australians and that's I would say the same place to british people to a degree as well But they are I say Jews as australians ah um Yeah, but I guess it's not a parrot like in the uh, and uh Because australian accent is quite distinct Yeah, that's that's what I I feel like I see the amount of americans I probably should they're the majority of the present like content creators. I see Um, well, I mean I'd say it's no it's a pretty simple calculus right like if you if we if we use america as the base for every for every um Five americans. There should be one british person um and for every Like 10 americans. There should be one australian Yeah, I feel like I see more australians on there If you don't see that many canadians, but maybe it's because I can't detect them all the time Well, I would say that there are a lot of canadians that you just don't know because they just sound like americans for the most part You hear them say a boot Well, yeah something like that. There's usually a slip.  Yeah, the main the most popular one wasn't even russian i guess russian american It's russian and it's hard Yeah, now russian is gonna have to be kind of underrepresented too Yeah, I tried that once Who else do we need more of in this world? French people I guess That's fine though What should we see more of you should see more um, huh African youtubers just from from africa itself from african nations feel like they're underrepresented like, you know How about Yeah YouTubers and a lot of them You don't see it. You don't see a lot of um as tech high priests. No, you don't I've noticed that Yeah, I feel like maybe we can see a couple more of them. I feel like there's very few of them in the let's play arena specifically Yeah, um Well, you know, I'll give it time Hopefully diversity will come through and actually get the voices that we don't hear a lot more of In today's batwoman the guy at the hospital said oh the guy at the hospital said Where are we? Um, they couldn't run blood work because of insurance hospitals can't deny service They'd run the test and bill her later that scene wouldn't happen. That's a good point They uh, yeah, that's why the hospital is the way the message They do point they actually do the thing you just have to pay for it Like they're not going to let you die because you don't have insurance. They'll just let you get bankrupt Well, someone on top comment on the video that said you guys missed it But apparently that guy was on his way to a code Meaning like somebody's in serious trouble when she said implicit bias stuff, which is like bro Well, the writers they just know that they have codes that would just they're just doing something I'm on my way to a code that's that because that's like something they say that's hospital speak so Yeah Well, I mean I think it's one of those things where they forget like that being a doctor It's a profession and professions always have rules and guidelines and things you just have to do like a code of conduct lawyers have it doctors have it psychologists have it And it's important. It's it's a it's a key part of the profession Yeah, and I'm not saying that of course that all of these things are right But there's probably There's probably a good reason why a lot of these things exist. Yeah.  I do they look at the Paper it says yes beads or hospital like that would be my first question They're busy as if they're all sitting around a waiting room. They're like who's next like black person It's like we can probably push them back a bit They they want to as chat pointed out. They want to fix you so that you could pay them An alternatively it is a mutually beneficial relationship Um ari mary's clinic consider this there's no record of the medic medication that she's given to people for drug interaction purposes People would die Absolutely. Yeah There's a reason why it's regulated Like yeah to get through all of the reasoning for why what she's doing is wrong She'd need to like look at the history of law and medicine I feel like we've got to start earlier than that to just like she's so stupid like It just feels like a really simple.  It's because the human body really complicated. Um, no, no, I can be a lawyer No, no, I could just be a doctor. I can just work at a pharmacy. It's yeah Like you know, these are things that take years to understand and get confident at You can't as a student set up a click. Yeah Because because that's one of the people mean about it I like why do I have to wait 15 minutes to like get my medication? It's just up there on the wall It's like well because a pharmacist checking to make sure that whatever you're getting is it going to kill you Like it's it's important work It needs to be regulated that needs to be accountability Because again if merit kills somebody she's just going to jail for manslaughter Like there won't be any process that will protect her Yeah, if someone gets super sick that she treats and that person goes to like an actual doctor Or to the police or something or someone finds them and brings them to an er Like yeah, you're in so much deal Yeah, she's gonna be in trouble. Where did you get this crazy medication? You have such in such condition or such in such blood type. So this Like this is of course, I'm you she might maybe should have died But this is the thing we talked about.  There's a yeah, I think that's the thing that really frustrates me the most is like Now you may identify a system as bad or flawed and in need of reform But there's a reason why the system is the way that it is like that happened over time It's yeah, there's an explanation for that and it's not going to be as easy You can't just tear down the system. You need to find a way to fix it.     I think it's the next episode the episode after that, but she obviously restarts her clinic And let's just say the show is behind her on that one Oh, it's yeah When yeah, it's the show. Yeah, we've just always felt that it was Frog at illegal and stuff The show like has it be the a vilitous antagonist known as jacob is the one that has the perspective that we've always had. We're like wow Yeah It's a difference.  It was yeah I guess it's just baby's first political commentary make the world better do better And it's like all right cool. Uh, what are your solutions? Realistically aside from opening up illegal and unethical Underground clinics to to fix the health care system in the united states. It's like what are your actual solutions? That's not our job. That's good job good enough that they simply want better Yeah, because you know, there are no hitler when it's better It's always the go to yeah Uh, it's not often that people really really do like do things that they believe are evil What do you think of contractions in storytelling? I don't know. I can't and don't and couldn't I'm fine with them The save some time. It's just normally how people speak gives it a bit of realism. That makes sense to me. I'm fine with it I'm not sure what they're referring to maybe like reducing down something that could have been longer in order to get like It's a bit more abstract in terms of what it's referring to storytelling wise. I don't know Um Resident evil six tip one jake stab in a gauge quickly refills while charging up his mealy dash attack sequence allowing for rapid melee attacks It's not advised against zombies, but it's great against Yavo Okay, keep that in mind. Yeah Resident evil six tip two when playing as Helena if the last current shell in the hydra shotgun is used as one of her acrobatic quickshots She'll immediately reload all three shells Wow, that's nimble I'm pretty excited to see to hear you guys did an efat movies on my favorite movie the mask of sorrow any idea when it'll be out also high rags Hi a long time So this isn't said to exaggerate. It could be a year and a half before you see that We're all gonna be fat. I'm coming out Yeah We're just creating a huge backlog that all the editors can chew on and things can be released a relatively uh consistent pace, let's say Um Yeah, no idea when exactly it's gonna come out Please say in davie jones voice No, be a rivier.  I recognize that name one of the use um I don't know we haven't been doing voices today. Okay.  Yeah. Yeah, koala. Yeah, like to any of that We don't need any more of that. I'm partially on board with that. I find it amusing Uh, it's it is amusing because I do know somebody who does sound very similar to uh to rags. This is australian voice Yeah, it's it's um, it's weird. Most of them sound like that actually fringy's being humble But most of them do sound like that. Uh, you notice all these uh, the australian actors They they have to learn the the accents that they use in movies and stuff But when they're at home with their wives loved ones are in private Uh, they will that they they will sound like that. So when they answer in the affirmative in movies, they're like, yes Yeah, well, that's acting's hard. That's the thing acting is difficult I mean it is just a part of it. Yeah, but I don't Yeah, it's just not I'd say that Is it like a cult where you're not allowed to admit that's how you say yeah Well, he could if it was reality that we're not allowed to but we don't say yeah That sucks man. What's the bad for you guys over there? I feel you should be free to say ye Wow, how I mean if you're being held hostage by all of the the sheep in uh in wales blink twice, all right I mean, I can't blink with the avatar, but With like that's just public knowledge. I don't even know why you would ask They're very open about the subjugation of wales I'm just waiting for america to decide one day that they might give us a hand But I know that we have to offer more than just anthony hopkins up to the world stage. You know, we gotta do more than that Anthony hopkins was out I only hope to save wales No, I'm running out of time. I don't actually want to have to do this all again uh Hey rags, who's better daddy material re five chris or re eight chris also hi rags Hi re five chris or re eight chris re eight I think he's more believable re five chris is kind of I don't believe he's real Yeah, that's fair But resonant evil eight chris is a legitimately handsome Well-built gorgeous man.  I'll take care of that. He's just gotta take care of me I'm gonna fix him. Maybe I like the technologies. I maybe I like him the way. I maybe I just want him to be Just just that way Um, I will say though he does he just just outright shoot mia does that cost him daddy points when he's shooting a mom? Or do we take the context that she's Miranda? I guess we get we do know the context of it in which case if we know the context he's just like that part Like he was like he was a chad to do it but an idiot for just how we followed up on everything Yeah We're gonna do this. You gotta stick the landing chris. Yeah According to someone on reddit free. I'm sorry. I was with you But can you I can't think of a faster way to invalidate your arguments faster than saying that there's loads of weight What sorry the fact that you said you got an argument from reddit means it's invalid like that's not how that works It's just not how it is said if it if it's from reddit, it's wrong. That's just everyone knows it Reddit is just the birthplace of wrongness bad if you if you have a reddit account. You've lost life Damn it. Don't tell anyone I have a reddit account, man.  It goes to 10 right. I should have noticed that. All right. We good. We won. We did it Um hashtag fringy was right hashtag say fringy's name hashtag fringy lives matter Of trillions. Yeah, so I'll confirm maybe Maybe I think the last 20 seconds of hitch cocks vertigo are pretty rubbish Actually, I feel like the movie's only okay and not one of his best thoughts I have not seen vertigo since I was a kid. So I don't think I've seen it at all I think the only hitchcock movie I've seen is the birds Oh, you haven't seen psycho I haven't actually no Oldie but a goodie Um Hey guys, any of you into jazz? I've discovered an album called cosmic chicken highly recommend Oh Cosmic chicken enjoys him some jazz Um, yeah, I I I don't typically listen to jazz. What about you guys? Oh, I'm not me. I'm not a not really a jazz guy I don't have anything against jazz. I just don't really How much Fair enough. Um The game bugging you out of succeeding is neither a hard or soft lock. It's the game bugging out Well, according to several sources on reddit, it's that is a hard lock or a soft lock depending on Yeah, yeah, it'd be interesting to know if that actually counts as a new category or not. I I'm not sure about that like A lot of the time it can they can be very much involved in defining it Also, wait, do I have to do the entire campaign? Is that what super story is? Guys, I wasn't I didn't agree to this I'm willing to do one But doing them all and oh my god. Do you actually have to You know I like collecting stuff But the idea that I just have to redo the whole story All in one go rather than one at a time I don't know if that the entire campaign for episode four.  Oh, and that's what the timer is I've got to beat all six episodes in under an hour I don't like this. I am against this um Akuma never more says journey rags says strange or fringy says nor say What now so this person likes it when I say journey when you say strange and when fringy says nor Huh strange Hmm But super No 100 k for all the levels. No, I figure that wait you have to get 100 k for all levels As in like I don't have to worry about studs now At that point I just have to speedrun, right? We'll see about that Oh, you're right. I don't need any more studs. All right, well, we'll just rush through the levels. I should be able to do that Um a blood-borne question. Do you think they screwed it up by not giving Girmann the first name Nicholas as an innocent reference to Lovecraft's cat? Can't be racist dips. He was my favorite tally-tubby Well, uh I I think that they they have many missed opportunities when adapting Lovecraft's work. Let's be honest Um a hard lock is like the Priscilla glitch in Dark Souls Have to start a brand new character to continue I don't remember that uh That glitch specifically But any glitch that makes you restart the whole game cool Not when I would call fun All right, Obi-Wan, let's go Maya soft lock that's the true question you must ask yourself progress through this will Do you guys think source material matters? Hi rags Hi, is that one more time? Do you think source material matters? um Yeah So I guess generally it's a pretty general question. So my general answer is yes any more context it would be like You know if someone was to adapt Star Wars the ot into a tv show like they just make a tv show out of the storyline of the three movies Do you like do you care about the ot? I'd be like well, yeah, of course I do and then it's like so do you mean in regard to something? Rather than just do I care about it? Yeah, I kind of need the follow-up for that to be able to answer that question better, but the short answer would be yes Now this is why I've toyed with the idea of writing the story Finn should have had but in a completely different setting So it becomes its own story I mean, yeah, if you wanted to write, you know If you thought to yourself, I want to write it so that he's a disgruntled Stormtrooper And then you go actually wait, why don't I just make my own empire my own stormtrooper set and this guy who like deviates from it It's like yeah, just do that You don't really have to make it a star wars fanfiction That's how inspired things maybe are yes hours can inspire your um Your your own story you could take inspiration and elements from all the things that you like and mix them up and Match them into something that's you know unique and its own thing oil and mash them Do you do anything? your ideas Rags isn't a star wars ttrpg just a space opera Now it depends on what you have in it. You can have a star wars setting, but there's nothing operatic about it So they somehow fix a major plot hole all the time agents are variants from earth and the entire tva is probably a lie But then they mischaracterize Loki. I don't think that's fixing anything Like telling us that all of those people weren't created by the spaceless. It doesn't help anything like what does that solve? And if you want to yeah, they still do the thing you're like, well the spaceless is probably aren't real I'd be like well some things real some things doing some like they literally go through timelines wipe them out and delete people Like we know something is happening here You can pretend all you want that it's not but we know it is Yeah, they're still doing the thing and the doing the thing is the issue Like I don't know why you think on top of it or the rule on top of it.  They didn't talk about any of that What's that lady Loki having captured so many people in her time interrogated this out of all of them She's a wealth of knowledge.  Loki's like a definitely a knowledge of power kind of guy Apparently not though in this show. Well, that was that was Loki. This Loki is different. This is broke.  It sounds like he uh, he's had a crazy life from the little I've heard about him Have care how you speak. Loki's beyond reason, but he is of asgard and my brother He killed 80 people in two days. He's adopted. Yeah. Yeah, it's a great forgotten about that.     Have you guys heard of a crypto called titan? No Um, no So have you you've heard of mark cuban right or maybe you've heard the name? Like uh, yeah Yeah, I'm a tank guy talks about crypto and stuff There was a crypto called titan Um that started it.  Yeah Uh crypto would be it be a volatile place. All right Be careful out there.  Um, I believe that there was an article or an interview where it was explicitly said that they hired people who hated halo Let me see if I can find it for you Was what what is the context though? They haven't like a bit of a joke or So it was the idea that when they were um when they were working on I think this was before halo 4 came out it was the idea that um it was the idea that They were getting as they were making their team um, all right, here it is so um There was an article the making of halo 4 a story about um Let me just read the whole thing holmes recalls Holmes was one of the creative directors when the team completed a small piece of the halo That he described as a very traditional halo User research showed that people thought it was a lot of fun And it showed that the team was capable of making a halo game That was true to what the series was about 343 scrapped at home said as it was too traditional It continues quote We had people who we hired who hated halo because of x says uh o'connor But what that really meant was I feel this game could be awesome because of white input that i'm gonna bring to it I want to prove it and i'm passionate about proving it So we ended up with a bunch of people who were genuinely passionate about the product That's a huge advantage and it helped in hiring and forming our team um It's a general rule we try not to overreact through the loud vocal minority says holmes There were a lot of mistakes we made along the way which we knew weren't necessarily the right way to do things But given that we had to uh given what we had to deliver and our time frame We accepted that these are necessary mistakes and we acknowledged them So yeah, I think I think most people got hung up on the myself included We hired people who hated halo because of x. It's like what is going on like Why are you hurrying people who hate this game? It's a weird like It works out to make a good product not like good halo. That doesn't sound Hmm Why are you working on a halo game, you know? And it's like is it impossible that it could work? Well, no, I don't think it's impossible, but like it's a weird It's like it happens. It's almost like coincidental Yeah, I guess it's just a matter of why would you want to work on halo if you hated Was it the implication that they hated parts of it rather than all of it? I think that's the logic, but honestly hating parts of a game. That's that excellent And then you create something like halo for it makes me wonder the things you hated were the things that were really good about it Like your judgment is just a skew, you know Yeah, what is it you hated and like like why? The things like is it some tiny inconsequential thing and like that's a weird thing to get hired for I guess the problem is we hated because it's like sprint and armor abilities that and I'm like weapon loadouts These were the changes you made Did you hate that in halo? It was fair balance starts. Did you hate that you couldn't run? Did you hate that you or did you or were you fine with it? And you just wanted to try and do something new or Did you just botched the execution? Which is probably just what happened, but Um, yeah, I just think that a lot of the ideas that they had for halo 4 were really stupid. That's all like I know we've talked about this. I'm pretty sure we still disagree But like I fundamentally don't think that you can do a halo game with customizable like in terms of weapons Um, they're too distinct from one another. Uh, that's where I don't think that will work People would just gravitate towards the dmr or like the br or the carbine if those are available That seems like they've learned their lesson. I mean they did in halo 5 fair starts and all that um So it's important it's moving in the right direction. I guess it's just I just don't like taking something that isn't yours and feeling like the first time around you need to do something radically different Maybe wait a little while do something a bit safer and build up from there, you know Yeah Because remember before three's history now that what have they created while being with halo? Uh halo 4 5 6 6 being infinite that's what they've made um, and they've had oh and the master chief collection that was their fault um, and um And support on like smaller projects like other projects like halo wars 2 was made by creative assembly not 343 And i'm pretty sure the mobile games were made by other studios. Maybe they were in-house, but yeah, they don't have a big list But they had a team That was filled with a bunch of people in the industry who had worked on like other projects before But they were a team that was just made to make halo, which is not common But that's what you do as a developer.  Like this is not I don't know. This seems like a bad idea.   It's I think the problem is you can't trick people as easily with video games Yeah, but like we can see all the markers in low key like seeing where he gets sad Seeing where there's a big oneer Seeing where he's he's said he talks about his mum. It's like this will be good enough. The episode's already good now.     That's pretty bad.  The craft is dead I really honestly think it's just you could get a good one if you say for example, taiko waititi is making a stall It should be good Yeah, it's like we gotta head your bets and hopefully the person who actually is talented is allowed to do their Jenkins is making one Yeah, so With the with her two outings of wonder woman She's she's got one more right before she's officially I think she's doing the star wars one Yeah, yeah, so it'll be I think star wars the next one.  Yeah, I know. It's uh, it's nice. I'm pretty sure that is something that's happening. Hold on I remember reading about it. I was such a like We have to see wonder woman 84. I remember I was stream on it.  You look at this list and it's like, so what do you got? You've got three confirmed upcoming movies as a director So like the next decade you're fine. You're totally fine.  Are you kidding me?  Oh, it's just as bad as the rest of them It was chris pine. He was carrying that whole movie on his back Sisyphus pushing that wait, is it What's the guy pushes up to the mountain the sisyphus, right? The big boy. Yeah, but I don't know if I don't know if that's apt because obviously the idea comes back down. He does it again I suppose you see I could say he tried for 84, but I mean he tried it. He got crushed It's just a bit crushed by his boulder. Yeah Slipped and he got crushed a man crushed by his boulder Rip John McAfee My 60 is sorry 19 year old sister was recently admitted to the ICU with blood clots and the doctor suspected it to be A cocktail of a birth control in the Pfizer vaks Damn, yeah, I'm hearing some stuff about some of these. Well, I don't know if you two never mind I mean, I figure it's not it's known, isn't it like that that there are instances There's a lot of things that are known that we can't talk about I don't know that's on the list right now I know something that's talked about is that some of the there is um There have been a few cases of people who've developed blood clots Which I think may be linked to some of the some of the vaccines like AstraZeneca and Pfizer, but I'm pretty sure it's like incredibly rare Statistically extreme that it would it would hit anybody and I'm pretty sure that vaccines throughout history are probably going to have Unforeseen consequences and we're going to do the best we can Well, we do know that like even with stuff like measles and stuff There are there are a small number of people who do who do get side effects that are pretty severe But it's all a balancing act, right? What are the what are the side effects of taking the vaccine versus if you got sick with covid? Yeah, um, and then Well, it's ultimately up to individuals to decide but um, but I guess not to distract. Yeah, I hope you Said yeah, I hope she I hope she gets uh, that's that's really unfortunate. I'm sorry to hear that Mm-hmm Yeah Hilariously Marius performing every type of medicine.  You're like She does all of the it's incredibly dangerous what she's doing. Um She seems to have no understanding of that whatsoever. So Again Jacob having that talk with her was the kind of thing that if we picked up the show from that episode That's something that we would want in there. That's why I like that scene so much I'm just oh my god.  You have some other people Yeah, that's that's that's what he says down the line. I think which is incredible that she denies that too and she says She says something like you She says some of the pisses us all off. I can't remember exactly. I think it's the next two episodes or the next one but what I meant was you know, he did all this like like he tries to help her rescue a protector and um reassure her in that whole like hostage situation And like they've just got out of that and during it he discovered she's got this Operation going and he doesn't like I don't even she understands like he doesn't do anything too illegally He just says shut it down, which is like, yeah, that's better than she deserves Like what what are you? What else was he gonna do like and then you're like, oh she doesn't understand how law works. Okay I don't really do anything at that point Jacob is the hero Gotham needs and the one it deserves Yeah, so they'll hunt him because he can take it I would I would watch the show You're dark Jacob I think I made a joke in that video where it's just like his he gets started just by he just keeps killing bat women Like they keep rising and he keeps stopping them. He becomes like a punisher figure All right Um, you're rolling there.  Yeah, no you it's it's perfect. There's nothing that's wrong.  Look at the shots and the music all these things that are not the writing Look, there's a moon and it broke up. Wow the cg. Just just be just be honest and just rate the cgi Just rate the cgi write the cgi and the cinematography and the set design Yeah, don't rate the show It's what I think about when people like you guys are limited because you only ever talk about writing What do you mean? I wish we could talk about more than just the writing, but we need to get past the writing That's like the baseline We can talk about blind manor and like how it looks and how great the acting is and all that like and the music But that's because the show is like competent on a writing level Yeah, the atmosphere ideas and stuff for a second Anyone will appreciate the idea behind the tva and stuff. I'm just like, I mean we can't even like It's all gobbled nonsense Yeah, but the idea of there being like these sort of time-wisody people who are in control Just Wow What's that the idea? Yeah I um I don't think I mentioned it yet. I finally watched citizen kane chat and I was so I was really impressed by it I think it's a really great movie and um, it's it's pretty great I really liked it and the cool thing is when i'm watching a movie like that where everything's sort of working I can look at the shots and think about what it means because I try I think it's just the thing of like I trust the That everything is really purposeful because the writing is so good Um, so I can sit there and I can look at a cool shot and wonder what what they're going for Or a certain performance or a look and wonder what that's meant to mean But the reason why I can do that is because I don't have to be sitting there thinking about whether things are functioning things are just functioning um And you can sit there and appreciate all the extra stuff We've got to get past that boundary first because the writing is what props it all up If the writing is wonky, you just you can't do much with it from there. That's all Yeah, for those who haven't seen this in kane, we do it's worth paying Citizen kane is absolutely worth seeing. I um, I was so impressed by it Like the reason it's got the there's the meme around it. It's the citizen kind of axe And just so someone in chat talking about 12 angry man I'm glad you brought up because I've been rewatching parts of that movie over the last couple of days I fucking adore that movie That's another movie where you can talk about the performances and the and the shots and the composition and the sound design I don't think it's a little bit woke though Oh angry man, you know I'm gonna just be 12 men I find that movie so impressive in terms of like character writing Um, it's just it's they're doing so well in terms of everybody is so distinct. Everybody's motives are interesting I find that um in that movie jura 11 in particular. I uh, I really like he's the uh check Uh, I mean, I don't think in the movie they say that he's easiest in european And his whole big thing is that he just really he really finds value in the judicial system Um, specifically the sort of western judicial system and and the process Um, and he's always talking about it I think the one of the scenes in that movie that's really great is when he um He confronts the jura who just wants to go to the baseball game He switches his vote to the one that he agrees with but he still chastises him because his motives are fucked Um, it's a really great scene I mean every scene in that movie is a great scene. It's incredible It's like 10 out of 10 acting everybody's so great in that movie like there's not a weak link Jura 4 was awesome too. He was just so facts oriented, but he didn't pay attention to people Whereas uh number nine the old man, he was he was just paying attention to people He noticed things picked up on uh on the way that they behaved Which I think there's just so much you can pull from just the way that people reason and biases and stuff like that That even the facts guy, there's just stuff. He's not looking for he's not paying attention to the people.  It's just like it's it's you know, it's like depriving a flame of its oxygen. It just snuffs it snuffs it out Um, no, we have to find out where they work and where they live And well, you know everything about them Well, I think the key thing is you don't know any of their names until the very end of the movie when nine and eight talk to each other It's just like, yeah, you didn't even know what their names were but you know these people you really know these people um Even though you don't have their names you just have their numbers and they call each other gentlemen. That's it Like I feel like you could just spoilers. Uh movies like this movie is like 80 years old um no 60 I guess I just liked it I just really liked that I can sit there and be like number one Who was he? It's like well, he was very much like the straight man the Straight down the middle trying his best to moderate everything And number two was he was uh Really meek and didn't really have much of a spine but as the story goes on He finds more of his voice and is willing to stand up number three is just he has a really shitty relationship with his son He's he's just biased against this kid for that reason that personal one number four clinical Unemotional for the most part just trying to figure out the facts as best he can Number five, he grew up in the slums. So he kind of empathizes with this kid um And he has all of that extra knowledge of you know what it was like living in those environments and it's just more sympathetic number six is like The probably the most normie of them all he respects old people wants them to be able to talk He just wants to figure out motive like why somebody would do this down to the assault of the earth guy Number seven just wants to go to the baseball game totally apathetic doesn't give a fuck about this case one way or another Which makes him probably the least likeable person there because at least like Because he just doesn't care about anything totally apathetic number eight cool collected inquisitive um Willings to sort of push back against the tide probably the most You know the strongest world of them all number nine the old man who just notices things paying attention To people very people are answered.  Can I just like it? Can't yeah, no, right Has anybody ever said can't you just like it? You don't have to Bought us with how much you like it god or why? That's the thing nobody was ever passionate about things. They didn't like just the weird assumption Rags likes him bows confirmed I guess i'm gonna a guess on the spelling Just bimbos, but guys is that the idea?   They'll give you the big old slap underwater.  That's right. That's right killer whale The killer whale killed all the killer sharks, right? That's right. That's how I got his name It was only one of them too. They just started calling them all like that because they all look identical That's now I don't know about that, but god They don't all look the same. Hi. Muller is the correct way to address you person of length I mean person of length. You can call me a longer if you want, but I'd prefer a person of length But be careful with other longer people. They might they might not like it. Yeah, that's true I don't speak for every long For every long I feel like long is if if if long man was a thing It's it's kind of like if you call someone a black if you call them along. It's just like Maybe don't do that like No, because it's too bad or anything. It's just weird, you know, I remember that was a jargon archer. I think where It's like Ron. Yeah, Ron. He was talking a lot.   And yes, that's the actual title they chose Do you think they are big fans of x-men origins wolverine? G i joe origin snake eyes That is saying I saw the trailer. Yeah I don't know about the origins for guy Well, I'm sure some people would like that potential. I gotta know how he got his eye like that Well, I mean snake eyes is really cool, but snake guys doesn't really talk like he's just cool Um that he's got the cool factor Um, yeah, it's like oba fett. Yeah Um, yeah, but I guess it's it's it's I wonder about making a movie about snake guys because like I'm pretty sure his whole thing is he is just like a silent video game character, but um But but in you know a comic book or gi or a cartoon whatever gi joe was a cartoon first, right and then toys I believe so. Yeah I think in the uh in that the the movie that came out like 10 years ago is played by rape hark um, yes Not sure if it was even a sequel though I'm not sure was he in the sequel Is that guys? Did he breathe in that? Oh no in um, oh, uh, maybe can he breathe in it? I assume that he can Yeah, I guess he can Because you're like when I because when I see these pictures of the outfit, I'm like damn like don't you need like Do you need someone to punch holes in that for you now? I'm sure they're fine Snake-eyed stuff maybe they just haven't really that's why they have to cut constantly because he has to take off the helmet and go It's like the guy in the r2d2 costume or something. Yeah, he's just like, uh Kind of breathe I can't breathe in here. Oh my god.  Give me out of here It's like an oven in here. Oh My last super chat directed at rags was about the ttrpg by the dnd creators He said he didn't want to do the star wars thing My point was it's a general space opera ttrpg and could make what you suggested with the fins fanfic Sure, yeah, you do that. Yeah, I have no issues at all with the playing in the star wars universe Yeah, there's a lot of stuff you can do with it. There's a lot of rule.  I think there's a bit of a cross wire in terms of um We thought that that you meant we do this specifically to enact our fix to the sequels or something Rather than just we do it because we want to do an rpg fun thing. That's not you know, we'd rather just do our own thing So, yeah, very possible. Yeah, I'd love to yeah, that'd be that would be fun to do something in the star wars University a lot of stuff you could do a lot of interesting stories to tell Little adventures you can go on space things Could be cool Wow more hashtag not all sand people but most let's be fair But most oh my god And people they just keep getting in the way of me making my mind. Hey, whoa. Whoa What is going on here? Hey, we want I just can't That's right people of sand. Well, no, I guess sand people. I feel like sand people would be okay. Again if you call them I feel like if you just call them a sand that would be like offensive again. What's that sandy?  What's happened to this world, you know Yeah, remember how Loki wanted to genocide really done on the shitter I don't think Loki wanted to genocide. Well, actually no, he did. Yeah He wants to take over earth He wanted to take over but he also wanted to genocide like portions of earth, I guess. Yeah, at least new york city Yep, and that was before avengers one all the thanus mind control retcon No, he's uh the retcons don't please stop That's not true. It's impossible He did it himself. He wanted to take over earth Time cop testicle monsters in rick and morty are way better than loki time cops and it's a gag in a cartoon show instead of part of the uh Part of bill franchise Bill dollar franchise. Um, well, yeah the time cop episode in rick and morty was hilarious Oh, that was the um, was that the one with the wait? Sorry. I'm mixing up. That was the uh, the snake one, right? Or The one with the split the dimensions Oh, yeah that's right rick and morty Handles a lot of the stuff that loki's trying to handle In uh, in ways that are much more satisfying Which is funny again remembering that the head writer for loki wrote for rick and morty was a producer Times change mm-hmm Three thoughts on the ides of march to kill a marking bird and the original bend here Where I can what the movie um, I haven't watched ben her To kill a marking bird is just one of those classics though. Um, what was the first one again the ides of march I don't think I've seen the ides of march either I've seen the um, I don't know. I guess it might be a remake it probably well or just an adaptation with the george cluny and Ryan Gosling or am I thinking of a different movie?  Yeah, they did remake ben her for some reason Has anyone heard of this channel called knowledge on defense attacking mohler and drinker my goodness He's gonna have to get in line Oh, is he the one that because people linked the loki one that he did What I know about that one. Yeah, he got very upset that get this ring. Okay, so He shows a clip of us discussing loki on that first stream.  It's kind of a Kind of a shame. Well, this is the thing. I only saw this portion I was like, okay, I'm out because either it's a troll or he's mentally charged So like you move it. I thought that would be the end of it, right? But he's like in addition to proving that we shouldn't take them seriously if they can't even get the initials, right? Um What rags will do is he will criticize the writers of the mcu for getting facts about their history wrong Or getting details wrong that regard Oh, no So he is 100 a hypocrite here because he can't even get the name of the tva, right? What? Yeah Oh I mean Fair enough, you know I mean not really, but you know Well, see the thing is I've always said this we've always said this rags is the only one that ever fights back on it When we do a random stream just discussing events of a thing that should be taken exactly the same way as a 100 million dollar production with loads of proofing And thousands of people working in relation to it. I think that's fair For some reason some people have convinced themselves that streams With random chatter from people looking going for as much as 10 hours long Those shouldn't be taken in the exact same way and judge the exact same way as a fully produced story. Um Obviously you're wrong It's uh same thing I just Even though rags um in that clip Corrects himself. He's like, oh, it's the tva. Okay Ah, that's not good enough. It's not good enough.  So we are going to be introducing We're going to be introducing something called live editing on efap. I'm going to hire five people to watch Uh the streams and the stream will go down the second any three of the three of us get anything wrong reference wise Or even vaguely wrong like it could be interpreted as wrong Um, it's going to annoy people. I know but I think it's worthwhile to make sure we nail this We wouldn't want to be complete hypocrites now, would we? Yeah, I don't know. It's very hypocritical to in a life format make a mistake. That's that's not it That's very comfortable to making a mistake when you have a lot of money to work with and a lot of people working on it And complete control over the final edit I think what's hilarious to me is the complete misunderstanding of what it would mean to be a hypocrite Just because rags points out someone made a mistake.  You're like, yeah, that's a mistake Well, yeah, I mean that's that would be the logic that would apply. It's like, oh, I made a mistake Yeah, I did you ever assume that I thought people couldn't make mistakes. So that that was your first mistake right there All right, I was realizing that I thought that that's the right whole point that you should really exist if you're capable of making mistakes Yeah, never never talk So yeah, just game over basically Lucky, of course that uh, for me, you know, I have not made a single referential mistake in our entire lives That's I mean, it's lucky that um That's I find that amusing I I hope that whoever said that has never ever made a typo when they were writing something out ever again You know, like if they're writing out a report and they they have a spellier. It's like wow hypocrite march.  No, I just skipped around. Let's do a little here and there It really is pretty worthless. Um, it's a shame that I feel bad for him and I guess he spent the time to make a video that's that worthless and devoid of value I'm sure he liked his time we do What he wants with it Kind of a shame, but don't expect us to cover it because it really is kind of just one of those I was too embarrassed when I when I saw we spent that long on you saying tca instead of tv. I was like, all right We're we're bordering on ableist here. We can't be doing this And you say agenda Yeah, um I wouldn't worry about it. Cronk is best himbo Maybe Dude, they're gonna do a live action empress newt group one day Yep, they are they absolutely are He's up there.  So we have to Yeah, we're working with the mcu's rules and you know what? I'm sure that um in writing endgame that all of these books were read in full And then there was consultation with people who astrophysicists, you know, I'm sure they have absolutely Yeah, I mean, I don't know Keep it up. I suppose maybe you'll make a point one day Uh, what's good? My long is the fbi killed r a pack um, we're talking about My gaffey guy who's our a pack I don't know who that is I have no idea who that is No, either do I Uh, what's a titty rpg?  But I don't know Why is that censored as well? Tabletop rpg Is tt rpg is a tabletop role-playing game like dungeons and dragons or power finder or star finder or call of cthulhu I thought it was a titty rpg Yeah, tt. Yeah, that is it. You can have those are those are uh, yeah, I say we should reclaim it Do it Titty role-playing game and the role that I'm gonna be playing is them is the Dog with a big Of course We want to take that away from you Yep Uh revealing what rosebud was to the audience contradicts the themes of citizen kane especially with the audience insert in reporter left in the dark Wait, sorry. Could you say that one again revealing what rosebud was to the audience contradicts the themes of citizen kane Especially with the audience insert a reporter left in the dark Why would you say that that contradicts the theme? Yeah, I'm curious why they'd say I don't see how it contradicts the theme at all. It's like the final icing on the cake Yeah I don't see yeah I think I have to collaborate on that one because I legit don't understand why you think that Yeah If the idea is that like we're not meant to know what what it means or like why he turned into the person that he did I would say that I don't even think it really answers that question. It just tells us like where this mind is reverting to You know the most based memories You know it was like oh my god, look at all those stormtroopers. I killed all of them green. I'll do it again I Won't fumble around in this level this time Um, but yeah, I would have to hear the argument because I'm not quite is the idea that um because The world itself never really got the truth on what that word meant and it turns out the word was a lot less Significant to what they thought it might have meant them in reality And thus we should have as the viewers been given that same treatment. I just don't know the That benefits that violates the theme. Yeah. Yeah, and I would I would get helped a lot because then you're like, oh That's what rose but oh so that okay. All right. Yeah. I know it just brings you to that point where you're like, man Like I think that was the thing that really sealed up for me. I was like, yeah, this movie's like Pretty fantastic. I was quite happy with that applicable message and theme a lot of warnings in there Yeah, it's pretty prophetic in a lot of ways That line people would think what I'd tell them to think it's neat The difference between a fan and a consumer consumer eats up everything hence the name but a fanboy refuses to see the floor I don't say I'm a fan of predator But I also say that I like the predator because okay, let me read that again Can't say I'm a fan of predator and also say I like the predator because how Um, I don't know that we I would want to be definitive on that It's kind of tough because Someone might make that claim for something like batman and robin.  I'm like batman Or something I should be like all right And I feel like there's lots of ways to rationalize it even though I think the predator I'm a man of culture Um, you're gonna like things for all kinds of different reasons. I guess, um, but I understand right if someone's like I'm a fan of tlj and the ot and you're like how How yeah But I mean they're out there, you know They're out there Rosebud was a sims cheat code for a while. You know what I remember that. Yeah, I do I remember that rosebud being a cheat code on the sims And sims memories Good times The soundtrack in the sims is incredible Like, um, it's it's really good The music for like build mode and and uh buy mode And like how they they've both achieved sort of different feels like the the buy mode music had that very america kind of like 1950s sort of thing going for it It reminds me of uh, what's another song? You know, it's the one where i'm home a ghost of flushing meadows Or he thinks he's in flushing meadows and it's just full of toilets Oh, wait. No, it was when he went to candyland. That's right. The world where everything was made out of chocolate uh That's not the sims games game began Was it? Yeah, the first lot was running through chocolate land God, I see sims game. I only ever played that once compared to like hit and run Which I played like 50 times. Yeah, um, and I yeah, I don't remember much about a sims game Yeah, the land of chocolate. That's right If jay didn't advocate for rhino milk and get more his name wrong he would have been melted What did he call your name? Maula, I think Maula God, that's some ancient memeage right there, you know, yeah Who feel weird to go and watch efap five?
