2:01What's up everybody? Welcome to the kind of funny games cast for Thursday March 5th, 2020, 26. I'm one of your host Greg Miller all along side. Forbes 30 under 30. AKA New York Game Awards nominated AKA Biceps Poppy. Blessing any OEA junior. Good day Greg. Good day. You know where the liquid jersey is much anymore. No, it felt out of rotation. Yeah. I started wearing it as a gym shirt. And then after a while, I was like, no, this is nice. I'm going to upgrade you back into the call back. Yeah. You're going to get back up to the miners. Yeah. Yeah. You're going to jump. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. But I feel like I don't do just regular long sleeves as well. Yeah. So I'm trying to build that back into this one. We've got these guns. You know. Yeah. You know. The corner coming back from, you know, just bag and groceries going back to the super. Yeah. It's like, no, you still got it. Yeah. Let's come back. Let's bring you back.

3:01The biggest show on turf. Yeah. The biggest show on turf. Yeah, they play on turf. Well, that was the whole team. Yeah. Yeah. Not just Kurt Warner. Yeah. That's a fall. I don't know what's happening. I have an crazy day job right now. Really? I've done this before. Whoa. Here's Kurt Warner. And of course, he's a Hispanic heartthrob. Texas treat Latino. He'd click and heads and rip them to shreds. The globe shot and head shot and root and toot and three point shooting. Nitro Raffer from Twitch.tv. Andy Cortez. Hey, everybody. Thank you for the order. Right? You crushed all of it. You crushed all of it. You said shot and twist. Shot and Freud. You said like globe shot and head shot. Oh, did I? I guess I'm so hung up again. Root and toot and first. Yeah. RT first. Now you're getting your head about everything. Yeah. Yeah. Did the horizon hunters gathering plates has happened? Yeah. They did a beta offer or whatever it was or whatever. I could get in. Yeah, they didn't invite. I signed up and everything. Fuck off. You know what I mean? They invited like five people. I'm convinced. Because nobody's talked about it. Well, I mean, there's embargo too. Right? There's gonna be NDAs on there, right? That's probably why they didn't invite us. Maybe I did go on. I can't tell you.

4:01Oh, wow. As you know, PlayStation. I thought it was just an open thing though. No. You just signed up through the PlayStation. That's why there's beta program or whatever. People online were like posting like player numbers and stuff. And everybody had to remind them like, no, there's a closed beta. Like, of course, the steam numbers aren't going to be at high. Right. Right. Compared to the marathon or whatever. Right. I played a couple rounds of marathon. Yeah. Yeah. Not today says it came out, but over the weekend. I mean, everything's coming out. Yeah, right. It's raining games right now. It was so weird to just. I was just kind of relaxing with it, you know. Just by myself. Just looking at the flowers, walking around with the girls. Me and a couple of randos playing on, you know, they're playing on, you know, PlayStation over there. And it's just me on crossplay. And we're just kind of walking around and doing each. And you see what each other's missions are. And you're like, oh, we should do this. And I'm trying to like talk to him like, hey, Rodrigo, can you res me, man? That's res me. Thanks, Rodrigo. Like, just, you know, he was using his microphone on his controller. Yeah. That was a great time. It was a great time. How does it compare to our creators? Because our creators is the only point of reference I have for extraction.

5:02I overall, I probably like our creators more, but not by a whole lot. Really? Really? Wow. Like super sick here. The visuals are awesome. Of course, like, I'm just so into the aesthetic of all of it. And there, I don't know. There's something like just kind of really meditative. And that's probably just the beginning portions of it. Because whenever you pick the sort of early missions. It puts you in the beginner zone, which is like on the outskirts of, you know, how hot I can get. And then you can dive deeper into the area if you want. And those maps kind of change up and get a bit more difficult. But, um, I would say I like, I like our creators more for sure. But still not a genre for me. So when I'm done talking about it, I know we can have them be like, oh, Andy, fucking right. Marathon. You said it was a contender. I was like, wait, what are for the side plate? I play these extraction shooters for a bit. And then I bounce because I just don't really vibe with them as much as I want to. But here's the thing. Here's my pitch. Boom dog pitch right now. Boom dog pitch, everybody. Um, make it a single player game or like, you know, campaign game.

6:02Nobody's heard of that one. Yeah. That's a brand new pitch. But also just the way it's all kind of laid out. They could definitely held divers this shit. Oh, yeah. You drop into the map. You see all the things on the map. And it's like, okay, I have a mission here. I can, we can go here with our friends. There's no other players. Just it's a, you know, put some big boss machines over there. Put some other, you know, you know, encounters in this zones or whatever. Like, you could do it. Yeah. You know what I mean? My fear is that I, because I want to try marathon. But I'm scared that I like looking at marathon more than all like playing marathon. Because every single time I see. It keeps you going along though. Yeah. Like, I, I think it's so gorgeous. Not just from the UI stylistic perspective. When you're in the game, it's so nice to look at when these interiors look gorgeous. I, I would recommend like. I know we were in kind of a spot. We were like, oh, should I be playing this? Should I be playing this or whatever? Yeah. I think you could definitely just get in several rounds of marathon. Because you don't have to know life for eight hours in one day.

7:04Due to two to three runs in one night. And just like, that's going to take you maybe an hour. Really? Get in. Get out. Bounce. Because I've decided Saturday. I'm clear. I'm clearing my schedule. Whoa. I'm going to be a Saturday. It's going to be a gaming day for me. Wow. Wow. Because a lot of games coming out. There are games that we're reviewing. Yeah. I just need, I need the time. Need the time. I called a Bowling. I was like, hey, Oakland. See you later. All the city. Yeah. All the city of Oakland. I was like, hey, can't make it out on Saturday. People play video games. People with traffic like in Oakland. See on the billboards. Like, bless you with not being around Saturday. Bless you. Yeah. Well, I think there's a show up to Oakland on the weekend. The mayor calls in like a missing person's report. Yeah. Oh, shit. He's not here to party. Like the Oakland mayor and Daniel Larry, they're going to call together. Have you seen him? Is he okay? Check it out. Where is he at? I do a welfare check. Quick question. I saw somebody in chat talking about, was that, were you imitating my voice? Yeah. Interesting. I'm here. I'm going. Bye.

8:04That's good. Somebody said, make back to them. I'm harder. Yeah. Somebody said marathon. Fuck around. Find out. Somebody said marathon's concurrent players. They were like on steam. It's this amount. Convert to ST. S2. What is that? What? SCS. You know, SCS2? No, I don't know. SCS2. No, that is. What is that? Um, south. No. Sick. Hmm. Okay. Don't just guess. What else? Like, if it's higher than marathon, we can figure it out. Super. Oh, team four. No, no. Right now they're peak. On steam, the peak was two minutes ago at 84,872 players from marathon. Oh, say the spire. Oh. Say the spire too. Say the spire too. Yeah, that's the game I got to buy. Holy shit. No way, that's out. Yeah. It's out there. Yeah. At the same time as marathon and people were struggling to buy either for a couple minutes. Whoa. Do they know that polcopias? Yeah. Apparently right now the steam chart. Polcopia. Polcopia. Say the spire too has 135,125. Oh my.

9:04Wow. Oh my god. Yeah. People. Hey, this is what we should do. Um, review it. Cause I got on my fingers. So if you're an outlet. Slay the spire. Slay the spire too. Early access man. It's a gamble. Yeah, you got to review it though. I'll tell you how many players. People should know if it's good or not. I'm getting all giddy. I got a long fly coming up, guys. And I got to say the spire too. Shut up. Here's the thing. Shut up. Slay the spire and shut up about fucking marathon. I want to know about polcopia. Oh, it's not a polcopia. I know. I want to know how you like poli shit, man. I can't wait. It's going to be a problem. I cannot wait. That's what I said in the review. Holy shit. Should I get some Sunday too? It's just like every, every little, every little carrot on the stick. And you could also eat carrots. Yeah. Of course. And then you're spicy. And they'll keep that in there. Spicy. Oh, what do you mean? Ingredients. Man, they all talked to you. Yeah. Like everybody's got it, you know. The Pokemon. Hey, yeah. I smell a carrot. You got a carrot on it. I have this shit done. And you eat that. Wow.

10:04What Pokemon is that? All of them. Oh. I thought that was like a bowl of sauce. No, no, it was it was oddish. Oddish. Oddish. Yeah. Nice. And then you know, I see a little. But I see like some water coming out of a piece of a wall. And I had just got her. Smash. Bam. Hit that fucking wall. Water comes out. And it's like, oh. Squirrel. You're going to love this shit. Squirrel. Get over here, dude. You've been kind of like complaining passive aggressively about your environment. You've been like, I wish I was a little more comfortable in this zone. Now you have water over here, Squirrel. Yeah. And then, but check this out, Greg. I, you could lead a squirtle of water. You can't keep teaching me fish. Yep. And I brought him. And he just didn't do anything. I was like, what? Look what I've helped. He just kind of like, he wants some place to be wider. He want to go back. He wants to go back to play with blocks and charizard. He didn't give a shit. Yeah. Good game. Oh, man. Great. Holy fuck. Yeah, I'm very, very sorry. We have this conversation on games daily about if it'll be a contender. And I'm hopeful that you guys get into it as well. Yeah. It's somewhat what I am into it. Yeah. For sure. Of course, we're doing a gamescast plays of Pokemon, Pocopia.

Let's begin with what is and forever will be topic of the show That's strike two bear. Oh, sorry. See what happens. It's fuck around you find out Andy I want you to go home today. You take all the pillows out of his bed. All right. He's got to learn He's got a little bit

15:10Top of the show we played mouse PI for a higher Maybe you've been living under a rock and haven't seen this game the steam description reads join private investigator jack pepper played by Troy Baker on a guns blazing jazz fuel adventure and mouse PI for higher higher Mouse combines the charm of hand drawn rubber hose animation Inspired by the classic cartoons of the 1930s with the adrenaline and action of an explosive first-person shooter It is coming out on April 16th 2026 to steam playstation 5 playstation 4 xbox series xns xbox 1 in intendo switch slash switch 2 the developer is fumey games publisher is play side We've seen this game for a long time It's been out there. It's been gestating and then I have it open Months ago xbox had a big old documentary presentation about it this big old deal and they made just about this game Which was kind of crazy to see in terms of what they were going and I want to say reaction here has been mixed for it

16:10Well, there's been an anticipation for it, but then they showed so much and it was almost why you are we in or we out or whatever Blessing where were you before you started this with your journey for mouse the I want to say you was it a developer direct or an idea at xbox showcase where we saw that big Presented 17-minute documentary from four months ago. Yeah, I haven't closed in my no spare if you get to they closed that showcase with yeah that big deep dive And I think that was the turning point for me where I was like Damn this this seems big like they're treating this like this is a huge release Troy Bakers voicing the main character like this seems like such a big release So I've my anticipation has been up. Yeah, I'm not gonna. I'm it's not like it's been you know Oh, this is gonna be a game of the year contender anything like that But that definitely put it on my map stronger than it was before. Okay, Andy. What about you? Yeah, it was a weird one because I think With The more that we saw of it the more that expectations rose The more that maybe we cast our own doubt sure in this video game. I think it was when we first see it. It's this

17:17Really kind of novel. Oh, here's this small kind of indie game. That's gonna be first person boomer shooter Speed you know With an awesome art style reminiscent of what Cuphead does and why that game is so charming with his art style and then the more and more you see of it Especially with this little kind of deep dive you go. Oh shit. This is kind of more than what it is And now I'm kind of worried that maybe it's too much than it needs to be and maybe they're kind of You know, maybe the scope has gotten a little too large for what this game Maybe should be because you kind of just part of me was kind of hoping it was just gonna be Yeah, five hour a boomer shooter here's a 15 dollar video game lots of fun And then we might add a little challenge room DLC in a whatever you know a couple months from now But then yeah, this thing started showing off. Oh shit a lot of things in this world and And then I think that kind of naturally leads us as the people who have seen a lot of games go through these

18:18Stories of kind of oh shit your scope is really really expanding can you all match up and live up to this? So Andy After roughly an hour I took my clock set an hour at the end That's how long it took me to play through this team demo correct. Yeah, where do you stand? I think it's a lot more fun than I thought it was gonna be and I think a lot of that has to do with the boss fights. Oh, okay The the way that the boss fights are sort of The way that they telegraph their attacks the way that you are having to avoid them with the dash with the double jump It's exactly what I want out of a first-person shooter boss fight There was also a mini boss that didn't have a whole lot of Telegraph to moves. It's just kind of coming at you company and you had a dash at the right moment all that stuff just feels so good to do I've I said the last time we talked about this video game that I've never quite loved the png Sort of style of the paper Mario. Hey, yeah, if you're an audio listener, of course You're moving through a 3d space, but you're fighting things in our 2d like paper Mario

19:21Right, and so they they are just you know 2dp and g cards that are standing in front of you and they You know depending on whether the NPC will turn around obviously they changed the way the perspective is drawn So all that stuff looks really damn good But I've never quite been in love with this style of game Yeah, and this one definitely turn me around a bit more on it I think it is because of the the charming art style of the I thought Troy Bigger's awesome dude Troy Bigger's kick and ass in this game. I really enjoy his presence here And yeah, everything that's kind of happening with this game seems really cool and interesting being a detective who is Again, the very for audio listeners who have never seen this game if you're maybe tuning in for the first time. Hey, I'm Andy Work for this company. I'll kind of funny. Go in in 2017 and This game has a very cuphead steamboat Willie looking style of our art style. It's all black and white One really neat thing that's What a really neat thing about that is something that they mentioned in the little deep dive

20:22Whenever you are playing a game with normal color like the way most games are the interactive Interactable object will be Shining a color to let you know right. Yeah, they they kind of did a very cool meta approach to the way that those interactive objects work in this game Similar to how they work when you watch The when you watch these old cartoons. You see the way the background looks And then the one object that's going to be interacted with by the main character always looked a little bit different And because that isn't part of the background That's like an actual animated object that's about to move and so those those animated objects have like kind of a different They have a stroke around them. They do kind of move and bounce a little bit the way the way they're trying to draw Yeah, I think it's really cool and creative. You see the TNT bouncing over there if you're Yeah, they do like the 1930s cartoon bounce. Yeah, but it also just it doesn't blend in with the background It looks like it's part of a different drawn layer the way the animations did back in the day

21:25Also shout out really cool options for audio. You can make the audio sound like finals. You can make it sound like um a certain type of wax of vinyl like it's really visuals too There was a bunch of stuff to really degrade the visuals to look like what the cartoon would look like in modern day I thought that was really cool super fascinating But yeah, I think uh largely it's like I was super impressed by how much fun I had with the boss fights But also the Detectiving you know talking to NPCs trying to figure out what's happening with this little mystery really cool It's like oh shit. I I really want to play this now. Yeah. I'll jump in like I Saw it from afar and Many times they've been like oh that looks really cool But I'm not the shooter guy like I just don't that's just not a game I usually like to be the perspective of I don't know if it would work for me I am so happy to report that I had so much fun with this like this is So high on my anticipated list. I saw the chat debating. Yes, remember it is April 16th They got delayed. It was originally coming out this month. It was delayed to April 16th Um, I had so much fun uh, you know, I'm not the

22:27Sweaty shooter by any stress the imagination. So boss fights. I was like all right Is this where we're gonna go and I'm gonna get annoyed and not have fun and like Boss fights. I thought we're totally manageable This was a really clever one of like run out there shoot get behind this when she goes for the big attacks like okay like it Call it back to when I was a kid back in the day playing the boomer shooters playing doom on my my family PC, right But then it's not so far at least grueling in some kind of like I'm I'm rubbing my head against the wall I enjoy the exploration again Troy Baker is phenomenal in this uh, you know, I think it's one of those things where It's funny with Troy Maybe not so much anymore, especially after Indiana Jones But for a while there, you know, Troy would get shit for just being Troy or whatever and we're not doing much I think he does such a great fucking 30s cartoon detective, you know, I'm here. I'm like this that and the other and all the different puns he did I went out of my way to text him yesterday when I was playing and I sent it to assets I'm just like hey like You're really I don't do that for every Troy performance not because Troy's ever bad But like you expect Troy to be great and so it's for Troy to actually be awesome

23:31I sent it to you know over of like hey you crushed this you were great in this role right like listen You don't like me. I don't like you but I got to admit really good in mouse. I'm doing the preview right like crushed it Just so good and again this makes me so Excited for that final game of what else is going to be in here because they have so many cute touches that we'll talk a touch on I want to get top level thoughts, but I am Wowed by it not wowed like 9.5 wowed you know, I mean like To Do I think it should you draft mouse right now? I think this is good. I would say this isn't this is I think this will get like an 81 to an 83 That's how I feel too my my worry what if it overstays? It's welcome What if it doesn't hold up the humor wise? What if it gets boring but I don't know But like for an hour of this I was like I want more of this right, but bless. What about you? I think I think I echo most of what you guys are saying I think I come in more on where you kind of land the point as far as it coming in as like a great In 8 out of 10 and 81 to 83 range because I think you know as I hear you guys talk about it initially I'm like oh damn you guys like this way more than I do, but I think

24:34Resetting it there that is kind of where I come in where I think the game feels good I think the art style is fantastic and I love existing in this world and when I say existing I love looking around seeing the art style sing the black and white sing the 1930s art style There's papers to pick up in clips to read. I love Some of the picking the locking the same thing. It's like if we get into the minutia of the stuff that they put in here as a first person shooter But the things that you're doing in between of yeah the lock picking mechanic is really fun. We'll talk about the There are some Like pickups that you'll you'll see that are kind of like little mini comic strips. Yeah, that are really cool I love that kind of stuff. I think the love letter to 1930s cartoon stuff that they're doing here fantastic I think playing the game felt just fine for me. I wasn't You know, this didn't feel like a damn the first person shooter gameplay is really is really caring for me here Like it gets the job done Greg you mentioned the it bringing you back to playing like old-school boomershooters Yeah, the immediate thought I had as I was playing it was like playing a 007 campaign or playing like I love playing red faction one

25:36Yeah, oh, that's what I'm telling you right. I fell against your ps3 Especially in some of these segments where it was I'd walking and see the guy all the way over there But I hadn't triggered his box. Yeah for him to attack me. So I just shoot from way over here Yeah, which is cool. And like I don't think that's a bad thing necessarily I just don't know if that'll carry me for if this is a longer game Like I want this game to come in at around seven to eight hours. I fear it being longer. Yeah But I think for what it does I think it does such a great job of it and Everything especially aesthetically in this game is so on point And I think that's gonna be the thing that people really rave about the gameplay for me was like I was cool. I Didn't really do much for me where I was like damn. I can't wait to play mouse be eye for hire Yeah, again my gameplay take on it. I'm right there with you of like it feels like okay You can't aim down sites, right? So it feels like that level of shooter Which I was more worried about trying to be sweating or trying to be something. It's not I got excited at You know you leave this boss fight you get a little bit of the world you can exist in and going there and see how I could upgrade my weapons And be like oh, okay, here's where I'm gonna add on

26:38Even when I upgraded the pistol and the demo it put a big reddit your I got site on it, but I couldn't use that even so it's like it's that level of shooter Which is for me a non shooter fan what I'd want out of it and so yeah, I'm but I am there like Am I going to be bored four hours in shooting this way? Yeah, I think I had also the reverse of Andy where Andy talked about the 2d enemies in this 3d zone like not necessarily Looking as great for you initially and then playing it you kind of warmed up to it for me So we're as I'm playing these shooting segments and I'm fighting the bosses or whatever something about the First-person shooter impact on these 2d enemies. Just didn't feel as great gameplay wise like even as I'm rotating around them And they're always facing me or whatever like I get that that's the gimmick and I think that's Cool from a visual perspective, but something about that For me didn't work as far as like the impact of bullets on my enemies what I want that to feel like but Overall, I think this is cool. Overall, I think this is a game that people should look forward to if you see the trailer And you're like damn. I want to play that. It is exactly that game that you're looking at and so if you're excited for it continue to be excited for it

27:40Yeah, I would I mean, you know in a in a perfect world. I would much more prefer 3d models with like good shading tech There's there's a moment where you find a little secret and then you find a dead skeleton mouse That is modeled really well. And I was like, I kind of wish that you were just kind of all the NPCs or whatever And that's what I would prefer, but yeah, I guess like I guess talking about the gameplay. I I enjoyed the boss fights As much as I did because I was expecting Just arenas of bad guys. I wasn't expecting like cool telegraph the boss fights And so I was expecting you know if we're doing like the old school game pro Radiant by like sound and visuals of gameplay. Yeah, I would say that like I was expecting a six out of 10 of just like a serviceable time Yeah, and it brought it up to like an A for me gameplay wise. Well, I was like Oh, this is doing more than I was expecting. I thought we were just going to be entering rooms shooting gallery blah blah blah move on to the next point I really did kind of enjoy that in this small hour we got a mini boss and

28:44A boss fight. Yeah, and it's like oh, I okay if you could kind of keep up that pace and give me cool creative things that I have to jump over the rays of lasers as they're coming underneath me or dodge underneath them I had a lot of fun with it and trying to like outskill that you know layering and on top of that it is the fact that Troy's talking the entire time and giving you this story and I I felt at first It was jarring kind of a disservice yours tossed right into this demo, right? But as you go and even read some of the stuff they sent over it's like okay So you're there investigating this missing magician, right and you go in and find some fucked up shit And then you called you debrief on that fucked up shit afterwards when you're out of here and I was like damn This is what I'm looking for in terms of feeling like I'm playing a detective noir cartoon I guess we're on the mouse shout out to pixelated soul who called out the gameplay whenever you're upgrading the gun here for your Tommy gun It's called James gun. Yeah, that's and I got I got a good laugh on it. James gun was killing me I also love that the shotgun is called a boom stick. Yeah, like a lot of personality there in terms of how they're naming the weapons in Even break down the like one of the mini bosses that we're talking about for audio listeners might not be watching right like

29:48I agree totally with what Andy's saying as far as the bosses are designed and so you have one of the bosses that you're fighting who is like a character in the middle That is wrote has rotating lasers that are also changing Like the height of the lasers and so you might have to duck you might have to jump over them and then at the same time You have these windows of glass that rise from the floor that'll protect you from more rays that are coming at you And so it is really a all right, you got to make sure you're timed out, right? Okay, now the I know they're entering this phase. Let me hide behind the window. All right now. Let me get out Get out my boom stick and start blast the ads take care of them. Yeah Yeah, I really enjoyed the characters and the exploration and then Loved the kind of overworld driving around. Oh, yeah, it's so cool That was in there and put this under the section right there's so much personality into this game And even coming off that Xbox developer direct whatever your documentary they put up right this 17 minutes You really got the vibe of how much this game means to them and how artisanal handcrafted it is And when they're talking about working developers what we love hand animation. That's what we're doing

30:50The little touches of this and so yeah, I would put the overworld driving in there where you climb in your car And you drive it and it's not really for any reason other than it's kind of fun to drive this car run But then also the lock picking which I think does need to be called on its own for as in de ingenious as it was right You lock pick with your tail So you go in and then you only have a certain number of moves you got a snake. It's a game of snake Yes, you got to get it in there not touch you got to put you know put up the things some of them have sharp edges Eventually that you run into and can lose get locked out it was like when I got in like you know Mike and I was joking around about this with Bethesda RPGs or any RPG you got a What do we do to take lock picking to the next level and to make it so in world here that like that's how he's picking And he's picking it with his tail. I love that little mini game. Yeah, I Saw it out every lock you know every lock big opportunity from there But he had the the overworld very similar to what you see in cuphead when you are moving from You know level to level But you get into your little you know a little Core modality. I don't know. Yeah, but you're you just kind of be car

31:53You drive from zone to zone whether that's back whether that's to the next mission and all those little points on the map Were they had a little lock icon to show that you can't access that yet But then you drive from the mission zone back to like the hub world where all the NPCs are at there's the bar there There's all you know Interesting cast the characters that you will meet. I will say this um And this may be a little bit controversial Was hoping for the for the mouse lady to be a bit bit like a bit more of a love choice. Oh There's multiple mouse ladies in this. Yeah, maybe the next one will have bigger titties for you. Well, okay I didn't say that bigger. We're reading we're reading between the rabbits. So you know, so sure on that line Okay, yeah, yeah, oh, that's not bad actually. I was gonna say I was like Oh, she's on with the mouse robot Okay, you know more of the hometown, you know, I wanted that you know, oh, oh, Matt, you know, what's his name mouse? Jane John jackpepper jackpepper and like a lady to see you jackpepper. No pepper jack pepper jack cheese

32:58Fuck yeah, they're on it. They're on it. Yeah, it's cornealy still you get it No We just like throwing everything. Yeah, you don't get that mouse Yeah, but and I really just enjoyed all the characters, you know, I thought everybody kicked out another really nice touch I thought when I when you're it's I don't know how much we have in there whenever Cheese cheese. It's an English cheese Shit what about what was one does they want the fuller They're like fondue Fuller I barely know Damn, you really want to fuck this mouth. That's crazy That's nuts. Jesus fucking Christ. Uh, I appreciate it when I got into that open area and you're wandering around looking It's like go talk to whoever like you don't have a mini map But you have a hud bar across the top and it's got their faces on it and they when you wander It's like so easy to glance like oh, that's the person. I don't know who cornealius is. Yeah, yeah see up there in the corner Like okay, this is fun to explore and go and like I went into you know the bar or whatever and they didn't have anything for me yet

34:03I was like okay, but it's still they want a world to go around. Yeah, it's a back to what we're talking about Especially after watching that Xbox developer director It's just so much bigger than I expected it to be like I really thought it was going to be a two hour three hour four Hour game of running and shooting in black and white, but like this is where we bring it when you're going and exploring the world You find blueprints you can bring the you can bring the blueprints back to Tammy here to that Upgrade the weapons you want which ones you're using which was you like I Loved it. Yeah, I don't had a really great time with it. It definitely shot up my like okay This is something that I actually do want to play because I I just enjoyed that That sort of skill in you know expression. That's why I loved that's why I loved the outriders so much About like third person first person shooters or whatever there's there's ways to make those boss fights fun and engaging And I thought they really kicked a lot of ass with it Also shout out to these death animations too. I've read the name of this weapon, but oh, yeah The parnish gun. Yeah, you can see like the skin melt off the enemies and then their bones

35:05Stick there for a second and then they fall down. Oh, you could kick the dudes with the shields. Oh, I know one more thing I didn't know that. Yeah, one more thing I want to mention because This isn't a problem because you can remap the controls, but the default control scheme for this game I think is insane. Did you guys ever really change your control mouse? It's like Well, I forget what the three buttons are, but Crouch Your dash and then I think melee are not where you would expect them to be It's like they like took them and shifted all of them into like the wrong place So I had to go back and remap because like I've noticed a lot of games recently having weird fucking button That's a that's a metric system conversion. So here you go Crouches on L3 Which should be like Dash or sprint in my opinion, but I guess the dash here is more of like a it's not a sprint I mean, yeah, I don't even know you're right. A dash is on R3. I don't know if I ever use dash I didn't yes R3 is crazy. That is weird. That's why weird. Yeah, and then I think circle is kick is kick And it's so weird because more important. Oh, so well because I basically remapped it to where I put melee on elf

36:11No, melee on R3 Crouch on circle and then Sprint on L3 As it's gotten time. Yeah. Yeah, you're right. Yeah, I just I think that was bizarre There's been a lot of this going around. I think right now But it would go devs are getting fucking weird with it. I'm not a fan of that. Yeah more importantly again We're dropped into the game. We don't get the tutorial whatever blah blah blah blah Like I was infuriated playing two sections where I run I jump I land on the middle thing I run to get to the other one. I fall short Fall short and then you remember and then I was like what am I doing? No, then I went up the wall I was like wait if I climb on this and I jump on that then I can get a beer. Okay, cool And then So another segment happened and then I realized there was a double jump and I was like, oh, they're fucking me So good. I was like god damn double jumps great. I wish I knew it was there Yeah, there was like another part where you are under water and the water is like killing you And I could not figure out how to like get to the top for the life me I think I probably just had a tap jump or something But like a no tutorial so I was like off like I'm just gonna drown. You're under water

37:11Yeah, remember there's part get ready to like platform over barrels are floating in water Uh-huh Yeah, and I fell I fell in the water. I think the water was electrocuted, which is why oh, okay, okay I thought it was awesome. Yeah, I'm very very excited for this this shot up the definitely This is make time for an April right away. I'll be all about this one April 16th mouse PI for hire is coming. We all seem to have really enjoyed our one hour with it blessing Yes, do you think Raka should pick it up for their fantasy crew team? Oh, that's a good question Has anybody on our side picked it up? I drafted it when we did our initial draft. It was my fourth round pick I think I think I think it's a Safe draft. I don't if you're looking for something that's gonna be a banger banger. Yeah, I don't know But like if you're looking for something that's gonna get you some points mouse PI for hire. We'll get you some points That's why I felt like it was a safe fourth round I believe in this getting me 13 points roughly, you know Roger counterpicked it on you Well, then maybe it's gonna be the greatest game of all time this year, you know, because yeah, that is

38:13Fucking Roger. What he's definitely gonna lose 12 points. I think I'll get you an 82 Yeah, I put it in there. You see it.

Yeah, I'm tired of y'all not lend me talk about me Jen. I hate cats and I hate your voice I played so much. I mean listen

43:30Mugenics is a game that as it was coming out I drafted it for fancy critic never got around to it during that review period And I heard I heard people in office chirping chirping about it not saying favorable things about it. Got it, you know, Roger McCornie got to hate them Maybe Andy Cortez might have been talking a little bit of shit about me. Yes, you know saying they didn't like the song or whatever Never been so visibly turned off by I understand that it's not warranted. I'm in the wrong. Hey man. You got to feel how you got to feel but there's nothing I would Anything so short into a game so quickly. There's maybe go I don't think you're alone in that though like that's something I have been hearing even people who like the gamer like And it's possible that song is only for the first hour I don't know anything is I've not heard that song after the first like okay 15 minutes It's only unwarranted like it's not fair for me to do that to the game. I totally get that But I've never just I was like do my steam day. It's

44:31Song fucking sucks, man, and it's I Like I'm not as visual with it, but I definitely feel you on that song What's crazy is that there are other songs in the game that I think are fantastic Like there's other music in the game where I'm like damn y'all popping off with this stuff Last year late last year I made a proclamation that 2026 was gonna be Hailed as tactical 2026. He said this every jacket. This is the year where I'm playing some tactical games because I've always never been into the tactical stuff outside of chess Classic I'm playing tactical games this year and Mugenics is the start of it and I love Mugenics I have I've been playing Mugenics nonstop for the last month I mean, I guess I've stopped for playing other games or whatever, but I come back to this very regularly because I don't know What it is. I don't know what they put in this game. All I know is that it has its hooks in me If you're not familiar with Mugenics, I'm sure many people are by now, but it's essentially a game coming from Edmund McMollon Dude who may buy me a Isaac worked on other games such as I believe Super Meat Boy as far as like art and stuff like that

45:33Build the ultimate cat army through tactical breathing and send them into deep challenging turn-based adventures Draft abilities collect items and manipulate genetics across generations in this rogue like tactics game from the creators Creators of binding of Isaac and the end is not yeah, so named any of your cats after and your steam friends like me I don't even know you can name your cats. I thought they were just all automatically named that up to the homie Dylan who was like Yeah, your nitro rifle is a cat in this game like it lets you like import your friends. Oh, you can import them That's really cool because I've noticed some weird names on the cats And I didn't I like I still assume that they're just bits from the developer But if they're pulling from like other things that could make sense because I got a cat named Waluigi and I was like you can do that Yeah Like that's crazy. That's that's very fun. Well, yeah, it's a turn-based grid-based Rogue-like game where you are recruiting cats and you are breathing them and you are basically building up these different classes of cats to then run through these battles and get as far as you can

46:38um it is Good, it's very crude in its arsenal which makes it. Oh, weird one to recommend because I've seen many people many a person off-plit by by yeah things like the music things like the how grotesque the cats and characters can be. That was Roger. Oh, that was Roger was like it's gross. I don't like it. And I was like really what does that mean? And now I've never been the biggest fan of like the Binding of Isaac, Super Me Boy and this art style like the strokes of the you know the the thick lines that the line within it. Yeah, that's just like an art style thing whatever. But I think Roger was more put off by like the like you were mentioning. There's a lot of poop. Yeah. And there's a lot of catfucking in like the cat. I mean, they're asked if you're going to breed them. Yeah, well, that's the thing. Yeah, if you're going to breed the cats and the cats, there's that's the only way to make them do that. And so yeah, they don't have a love shoot with so much for you. Maybe he's not a problem with cats. Maybe a patch could be put through. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. There are mods out there. So yeah, if you're someone who's like doesn't

47:40really love the crude humor, totally understand it because that's something that kind of makes it a little bit of off putting to me, but the gameplay of it is so fun and so strong to me where you go in and it feels like anything can happen, right? You have these different collars for the cats, which are definitely essentially different classes that you can assign to them. Okay. And so you have, for example, like the fighter collar, you have the like there's an arrow collar that gives them long range abilities and benefits for doing long reach attacks. You have the cleric one that gives them healing abilities. You have the tank one, which will give that cat a lot of health and you have more that you unlock over time. And so you are basically looking at these cats that you've read. You are picking one to four them, usually four because you're going out with a full party. You are giving them these collars being like, all right, you're going to be a tank. You're going to be this. You're going to be that. And then you're going and you're navigating your map, like point by point. And you all, you will either encounter a battle or you might encounter a random event that could get you an item or you might encounter a store, but about every three nodes, you're running into a battle. Okay. And the battles

48:41will be there. God, there's so many different variables that can like affect what's happening. And so you might have cat enemies that have specific things going on, right? They, one of the cat bosses is a basically like a rainbow style cat that'll throw out bear traps and like you have to like, they have to dodge around the bear traps as they're trying to take out this cat. You might have another gigantic disgusting cat that will drag itself along the playing field. And if you're caught in its movement, you'll take big damage. This cat destroyed. This cat made one of my cats explode by fucking dragging itself over. And in the permanent situation, they're gone like rogue legacy sort of stuff. It is a permanent that situation. Now there is some leniency where if your cat gets downed, like they'll get downed first before they die, but their body will remain on the battlefield. And so say an enemy downs my cat. All right, we're cool. If I win this fight, they'll get right back up and they'll heal a little bit. But enemies can keep attacking that down cat. And we'll make it explode.

49:42And you will lose that cat forever. Oh, okay. So it's the cat is reservoir. Yes. Can you recover any parts from the cat? Like say, you put on a sick ass like arm or something. I don't know. Like, oh, yeah, because there's definitely there's like gear that you put on your cats. Um, I don't, if your cat explodes, I don't believe you recover that gear. But chat, correct me if I'm wrong. That hasn't happened to me often. Okay. Question about kind of getting into the loadouts or whatever. Yeah. Like a, do you have any tips for how you're prepping your squad? Like, are you making, are you going into every battle knowing? All right, this is kind of, this is kind of how I like to be prepared. I like having the tank. And then I like having these two. Or is it just like a case by case thing? It's so case by case. And I love it because I've tried to form my own meta. And every run, my cats are so different that I'm kind of like, all right, we're bringing it like every single time. I'm kind of just like, I just got to figure out what's right in this specific area.

50:45What do I do right now right here? Yeah. And so I will look at my cats and like this cat, like all the, all my cat, all my cats are like, they all have from the get go, their own abilities. And so you might have a cat that has a lob shot. You might have another one. That is, you know, they have a punch. This one has a little bit more health than this one. And just based off of those things, I go, all right, you have a lob. So I know you're going to benefit more from having a long distance moves. I'm going to make you the the ranger. All right, this cat, I feel like they could use more protection. I'm going to make them the tank. So they're going to start off with a lot of health. Oh, I like what this cat has going on as far as like their melee attack. Yeah, I'll make them a fighter because I think they'll benefit more from those things. So you make those decisions off the bat. And then you also have, you have so much gear. Like the gear will heavily influence the way your cats behave. They're additional like bonus moves, things like that, passives, all that fun stuff. And so every run feels so completely different.

51:45One along, you have weather that'll affect things like last night as I made my way to the, I think it was the junkyard, the bone yard. There was like a weather condition that made it so that there's just flies everywhere. So now at the end of every turn, every unit on the field takes one damage. I see altered rain in the chat says you also get punished for safe scumming. Yes, you do. Did you find out first hand? I found out because I was playing at my desk because I was ignoring my work. And then there was a game's cast was about to start. So Kevin was like, you know, we got gamescast and I was like shoot. And so I turned off the game and went to the gamescast. And when it came back to my game, it started up with a screen that was like, Hey, fucker. Don't do that. If you do that again, we will punish you. And I'm not, I'm not gone far enough to learn how it does. But from what I've heard from the streets, they will it's essentially there are specific mechanics that they'll change to punish you. I'll have to look it up in a second. But yeah, they will. I think one of them is like they'll automatically

52:48control the game for you. Like they'll do weird shit to fuck with you if you try to, if you try to save scum. So if you, if you want to hop out the game, you have to do it between battles in the run. How many hours do you put right now? It's not crazy. I want to say maybe 15 hours. It's the thing where I try to sneak it in whenever I can. Sure. And it's a, it's placed so perfect on steam deck. And so it's one where it's like, all right, before bed, let's do one or two battles of mechanics. I've been kind of slow playing it. But like whenever I get free time or I get a moment at home where I'm like, I'm kind of bored. Oh, I gotta be gentle. Let me, let me, you know, boot up knee genics, play a little bit of this. It's become my go-to video game. Are you ready to put a score? No, I mean, because I, the percentage thing on my game says like seven percent. Yeah, yeah. Um, I, the, it has a weird progression. This is, I don't know if this is a complaint yet, because at first I didn't like it. But I think I've allowed it to grow on me where, you know how in any rogue light, let's say, Hades, you can go as far as you want. You can theoretically beat a run in Hades in one go if you want to. They don't let you do that in this game.

53:51Here, they'll let you, you had to do a region at a time where you'll get through the first region and then at the end of it, they're like, all right, let's go home, let's reset. Okay, now you unlock the second region beyond the first region. And so you go back to, to do the run, you do the first region again, and then you do the second region. And then at the end of the second region, they're like, all right, go home. And then you had to keep doing it over and over again, which, at first I didn't like because I'm like, well, if I'm doing good, I'll keep doing what over and over again. You have to play. If you want to, if you beat region two and then you move on a three, you have to do one and two again. Yes. Oh, okay. So you had to do one and then you had to do one and two and then you had to do one, two, three. Oh, weird. Okay. Um, they're, they're different paths. And so in the way that of Hades, you're doing like the four regions back to back here, it is region one and then junkyard and then bone yard. Um, but at the end of region one, there is a fork where you can now do, I forget what the art, but let's say graveyard and then the one after graveyard. And so it's just a weird format where like to do the third region either direction.

54:55You had to do the first and second region like over again. Don't love that. Um, but spals says you have to unlock areas and bosses. It makes sense eventually. Yes. So maybe it becomes similar to return or they give you like the fast forward skip this area. The last, the last region I just unlocked is very much like, okay, thank God. Like now I can go drug her here. Like there is a reset moment where it is, okay, I don't have to keep doing shit over and over again. Um, I don't mind it now that I'm here because the game is so fun to play that I'm kind of like, oh, hell yeah, I get to find different configurations of cats. Yeah. Yeah. To, uh, to party up with. And so it's grown on me in that regard, but that was a weird thing starting off. I like hearing about those strats because it's like when you're fighting the, when you're, you know, usually when I'm fighting against a Nilfgaardian deck, then I go against somebody and Gwent with a, with the monster deck. They're gonna use a lot of close range stuff. Plus, and I can't let that, but I cannot let that character, the person I'm fighting

55:55and Gwent put down a certain card that's going to then summon four more cards, close range cards from their deck, you know, hopefully I have a scorch card on me. Hopefully I got one of them cards that adds rain. Got it. Just to get the middle range or whatever. Yeah. Well, that's the odd thing. This guy ever not playing which wins it. Let's play through right now. I couldn't go to the bathroom. Which is the first place. But yeah, there are so many, oh man, there's so many good, unique abilities where it is. Like, okay, I got this thing against this enemy. Like this enemy throws bear traps, but I know that like, who will throw bear traps and then try to get away from you? Because he's like, oh, you're just going to get stuck in the bear trap. And so I'm just going to try and get away. So like, I, if you have good range shit, like I get really excited, because I'm like, okay, cool. Well, I got my Ranger that has a lob shot that it doesn't matter where you're at on the map. So I'm going to mess you up regardless, right? Or there will be another boss that is for the one I was talking about who drag himself towards you. And the way he does damage is that he'll do damage very big damage in a small space as he drags himself over you.

56:56Oh, well, I have a cat that throws bear traps. So I'm going to throw this bear trap before he even gets to me to stop him in his tracks. It's really, really fun to kind of like find ways to gain this game the system because it feels like everything has something that is weak too. It's the game. Yeah. Yeah. It's like, it's opening me up to the tactical stuff in a way that's this year. That's the year. It's April, 2026. I'm, I feel so ready for Fire Emblem. I'm sure it's a very similar game here. 100% lots of cats in that one. Yeah. All right. All right. Let's see you. Busy. Andy. Thank you. Darrow in the chat had a pretty dynamite one a second ago.
