Video game updates have ruined video games because this morning I got to the gym, I stepped on the treadmill. I was excited. Put that thing on the incline. And I was like, all right, let's play some magic while I'm on the incline. Really lock in for this workout. And it said update. And I'm like, ah, okay. Then I clicked it. I was like, how long's the Update? It's like 1 gigabyte update. And I'm like, that's not. No, I don't have enough time for that. Like I can't do a 1 gigabyte update on. On not wi fi right now.

[Barrett]

That's what happened. Yeah.

[Blessing]

Oh, no. I literally.

[Barrett]

I updated on the store and I was like, okay, well, that'll go quick because the store updates are fast. And then I go into the launcher and for some reason, like, if I'm at home and I download something that's a gigabyte, for some reason, it's fine. But if I do it in the launcher, it's going to take me 15.

[Mike]

In fact, I should just.

[Barrett]

I'm gonna update it right now.

[Blessing]

Update it right now.

[Barrett]

[Barrett]

Yeah.

[Mike]

And you have to have the app open at the same time.

[Barrett]

So it's like if I close the.

[Mike]

App, for some reason, the download doesn't go.

[Barrett]

So now.

[Mike]

All right, we're doing it. We're doing it.

[Blessing]

So I'm happy to follow up from LA from yesterday and say that. No, I would like guns in my magic. Okay. I want Gears.

[Barrett]

You want guns.

[Blessing]

I want Gears of War. I want the Revolutionary War.

[Barrett]

I want the Revolutionary War.

[Blessing]

I don't care. I'm going from magic standard. Put muskets in there. I don't care.

[Mike]

I respect it. Now, I'm very curious about a super chat that we got in from jbc. 00100 I 00 lowercase L. I don't know what that last thing is. The new Mario Galaxy trailer shows Fox McCloud.

[Barrett]

I don't know what that means. Is there a new Mario Galaxy trailer?

[Blessing]

The movie?

[Mike]

Yeah, Mario.

[Barrett]

Because I didn't.

[Blessing]

We're bringing.

[Mike]

Because what are they talking about? Mario Galaxy? Because I didn't hear about this.

[Blessing]

Blessings. Cooking. I saw there's a new Mummy trailer and that's got me excited. Oh, this is the scary mummy. This isn't the fun Brendan Fraser mummy. That's not. We're not ready for that yet.

[Mike]

This is not the new trailer. There's no new trailer. And there's Fox, JB Cool. JB Cool. That's their name. Mario Galaxy. I'm gonna type in Mario Galaxy, Fox, McLeod. Thank you, Barrett. Oh, yeah. This brings me to an IGN article about you insane people. The title of the article is Nintendo Fans believe the Super Mario Galaxy Movie has a Star Fox Cameo After Trailer Teases Mysterious figure.

[Blessing]

Whoa.

[Mike]

All right, I'm opening up.

[Blessing]

Stop it. Bless.

[Mike]

I found the trailer they're referring to.

[Barrett]

Okay, now, Bear, where do we stand on showing these things on content images we can show.

[Bear]

I think this is Paramount. Mario trailers definitely get us.

[Blessing]

Find us a timestamp and he'll show just the image.

[Mike]

Okay.

[Blessing]

It's going to be a shadow of the.

[Mike]

Yeah, I'm like scrolling. I'm scrolling through it. I don't see any.

[Blessing]

Maybe it's a spaceship. The logo.

[Mike]

What shadow we figure are they shout.

[Blessing]

Out to star Fox's stage in Super Smash Bro 64. Oh, I mean, iconic.

[Barrett]

Yeah. So iconic that they kept it all timer. They like. They're like for melee. They're like, we got to bring back that stage. Just make it daytime. Just make it fly through things.

[Blessing]

Yeah.

[Mike]

I mean, that was for sure my favorite stage. I don't see Fox McCloud anywhere in this trailer. I'm going to drop the link to Barrett.

[Bear]

So I have the IGN article up and they're talking about like this. To the left of Yoshi, to the left of like the left side of this.

[Mike]

I think that's Fox McLeod.

[Blessing]

We're out in space. You never know where in the galaxy could be.

[Mike]

Now if I were to indulge.

[Blessing]

Okay, yeah, take me there.

[Barrett]

Because I don't know if you saw this. People. People were pointing out there have been leaked Rob figures.

[Blessing]

Robo.

[Mike]

Rob.

[Barrett]

Rob from, you know, you know him.

[Mike]

From Smash Bros. Of course, if you're.

[Barrett]

An oldie, you know him from playing the Rob on the NES or however that goes. Rob the robot. They're saying that he might be in this movie. So if Rob's in this.

[Blessing]

So and Fox is in exactly like Nintendo, are we already jumping on. On movie number two into just. Everybody's in this.

[Mike]

I mean, like, you're building up into a smash thing maybe.

[Blessing]

Oh. The ultimate Mortal Kombat fighting. Fighting game or fighting a moment is going to be this movie. This looks like Shredder from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles to me.

[Barrett]

I don't even know what you're talking about.

[Blessing]

On the left hand side, that's Shredder's helmet is what I see. Big old stuff.

[Barrett]

See at the top, I see like.

[Bear]

Kind of like that's like the shoulder.

[Barrett]

Yes.

[Bear]

And then like the. The green part.

[Blessing]

Oh, you think that's his shoulder?

[Mike]

I think that's the shoulder. Yeah.

[Blessing]

An arm into his hip.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Bear]

Ah.

[Blessing]

I was taking it as his head in a helmet. And then down below. Okay. Yeah, yeah. I should wear my glasses.

[Barrett]

Yeah, yeah. It's.

[Bear]

It's tough just because like the. The Arm seems to be like a green sleeve. And at least in this image here, like, Fox not wearing Fox has green pants.

[Barrett]

He's not.

[Bear]

He's not wearing green sleeves.

[Mike]

I don't believe it. I'm not mad at it, but I don't believe it. It's a fun theory.

[Blessing]

Up to see the mega crossover begin.

[Barrett]

Depends on, like, how they do. I would.

[Blessing]

I wouldn't.

[Barrett]

Honestly, I wouldn't want Fox to be, like, a character in a Mario movie. I think that's fucking bizarre. I think that's weird. I think that's disrespectful to Mario. Why are you putting Fox. Why are you ruining my Mario universe by putting Fox in it? The only way I would accept it.

[Mike]

Would be, like, if they're peering into.

[Barrett]

Another world or something. Or, like, if they're trying to set.

[Mike]

Up a Smash Bros. Movie.

[Blessing]

Yeah.

[Mike]

I want it to be a thing.

[Barrett]

Of, like, there are other universes out there and there's like, you know, maybe a silhouette of, like, a fox or something like that. But, like, it needs to be half a second. I don't want Fox as a character in my mind.

[Blessing]

You don't want Fox riding Yoshi here in the next scene?

[Mike]

Absolutely.

[Barrett]

First of all, no. I will walk out the movie theater if I see Fox riding Yoshi. Nobody wants to see that.

[Mike]

Yeah, I don't with that Mike. Enough about that. Let's get into the show. Remember, if you're watching live, you can super chat to be a part of the show. Just like DB Cool, JB Cool it did to get us on that Mario Galaxy tangent. Of course, shout out to our Patreon producers, Carl Jacobs, Omega Buster, and Delaney the Psalm Twining. For now, let's begin with what is and forever will be. The Roper Report. It's time for some news.

[Barrett]

We have seven stories. Today's my thing, right?

[Mike]

Siegfried in chat says, bless certified Fox haters.

[Barrett]

It's not that I'm a Fox hater. It's that I'm a Yoshi respecter. Yoshi is written by Mario or Luigi. Nobody else. Not Peachy is written by Mario character. So, okay, you. But, like, typically not Peach, but I guess sometimes Peach.

[Blessing]

Okay. Yeah, yeah.

[Barrett]

Because in the new Super Mario Brothers.

[Mike]

Games, you can pick different characters to.

[Barrett]

Ride, so I'll allow Peach.

[Blessing]

Okay. Okay.

[Barrett]

But if you're not a Mario character, if you're Ike from Fire Emblem, if you're Samus Aaron from the Metroid games, if you're the Pikmin people, No, I don't want you riding Yoshi you're not riding. You're not riding Yoshi. You're not allowed to.

[Blessing]

You don't get to be on saddle.

[Mike]

Somebody said Donkey Kong.

[Barrett]

Ah, no, not Don Kong. I don't think Don Kong's allowed.

[Bear]

He's the OG Mario character.

[Blessing]

Yeah, but like, yeah, where do we fall into the Kongs now? Can Daisy Kong ride? Describe Daisy Kong, ponytail, pink T shirt bear.

[Barrett]

I need you to Google Daisy Kong. You're thinking when I googled Daisy Kong, it just brings up Dixie Kong. I was like, do you that Daisy from Mario is a Kong? You know what I think what it is is Donkey Kong just is too heavy to ride Yoshi.

[Blessing]

To ride Yoshi, you're drawing the line.

[Barrett]

Cuz once you get to Diddy and Dixie, I'm like, oh yeah, okay, I could see that a little bit. But Donkey Kong, I feel like that's doing too much.

[Mike]

I feel like that's not good for the Yoshi Kong.

[Blessing]

Not allowed to be.

[Barrett]

It's not fun for the Yoshi Story.

[Mike]

Number one Final Fantasy 7 Remake part three director says the new JRPG is already in a playable state with Square Enix and the the final push phase of development. I'm reading from anna Koselke at GamesRadar Naoki Hamaguchi, director behind Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth and its long awaited sequel, the officially unnamed Part three reveals that work on the upcoming entry is moving along very nicely with developers hitting the goals they set on time. Speaking in a recent interview with Automaton, Hamaguchi first explains that no ports like the Nintendo Switch 2 and Xbox Series X editions of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth coming this summer are not hindering progress on the next game.

[Barrett]

Quote We've dedicated we have a dedicated.

[Mike]

Unit within my team that handles porting work and they operate separately from the team developing the third installment, as the lead describes. Quote the porting unit is deeply committed and has been tuning those versions with meticulous care. So I trust them and oversee their work from a distance that allows me to focus on the third game. End quote how's development of that third game going though? Apparently quite good. Quote Development of the third installment is progressing very smoothly and we're almost exactly on schedule with the milestones we set at the beginning of the project. End quote Perhaps most excitingly, however, is the fact that The Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3 is now, quote playable, as Hamaguchi puts it. Quote the game is already in a playable state and right now we're in the final push phase, refining and building up the experience. We're at the stage where the quality improves day by day. And each time we play it, the scenery feels different. So it's genuinely exciting. End quote.

[Barrett]

That's big news.

[Mike]

The director concludes, quote, I think it won't be too long before we're able to share some kind. Sorry. Before we're able to share some kind of update with everyone, end quote. And I'm personally keeping my fingers crossed for a real look at the JRPG in action, gameplay or otherwise.

[Barrett]

Mike, Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3. When do you think we get it?

[Blessing]

When? Okay, let's just jump right into it. When do we think? You get it or you get to see it?

[Barrett]

Get it when you get it?

[Mike]

Both.

[Blessing]

Okay, let me give you the timeline.

[Barrett]

Yeah.

[Blessing]

This summer, you get the releases on Nintendo Switch and Xbox for Rebirth.

[Barrett]

Okay.

[Blessing]

That means this winter at the game Awards, you see the next Final Fantasy installment, and then we will not play final fantasy until 2028.

[Barrett]

I agree with you. I. The only place I could see is I could see us getting the trailer this summer.

[Blessing]

Okay.

[Mike]

I.

[Barrett]

There. They've been saying that we're gonna see more of this game in 2026. And so, like, holding it until, like, the very, very end of the year feels like, like, I mean, it's.

[Mike]

It's doable. It makes sense.

[Barrett]

Game awards is hype or whatever, but I don't know. For some reason, I get more summer vibes. I feel like they're already ready to show this thing.

[Blessing]

I'm right there with you. Bless. I mean, I. I think at every PlayStation event that we have all the way up until summer and through the year, we'll hold our breath. Any Jeff event will. We'll hold our breath for this, right? And we'll predict and hope that we'll see this. And it's like this year we're building, right? We know that we're probably going to talk about this and see this, this calendar year, and the excitement continues to grow. I mean, I can't wait for it. So, yeah, if it's summer, I feel like it fits perfectly. Right.

[Barrett]

You know what? One I'll even throw out there?

[Mike]

Hold on.

[Barrett]

I got to scroll because Bear's telling me there's breaking news and I don't want to see what it is because he says it's breaking news for me.

[Bear]

I have it breaking for after the first story. Okay. For your reaction.

[Barrett]

Okay. Now, would it be crazy to expect it to come in 2027? Would that be insane?

[Blessing]

No, I don't think it's crazy, but I just think like video game development and timelines. Right. When you hear, hey, it's in a playable state, sure. We're not behind the doors seeing what playable state is, but just like we're going to talk about with replaced. Right. A playable state can mean a many of different things.

[Barrett]

Yeah.

[Blessing]

And it's like as much as they might be forward, they're going to have.

[Lifelock Announcer]

A lot of bugs to fix.

[Blessing]

There's going to be a lot of polish. This is a big title. This is the end of it. All right. So like they're going to want to make this perfect. So I don't know. I would love to hope I'd like to play this sooner than later. But I do think that we're going to have a long road ahead on the final touches of this game here.

[Bear]

I could see 2027 purely because they have that world built. We have the, we have the open world built.

[Barrett]

Yeah.

[Bear]

I, maybe there's a couple of like areas you need to like build for the, this new, you know, the, the final entry. But the bones are there and so I feel like the turnaround for it could be much quicker because think about it, think about this Mikey game you, you know, you, you got into for the people pandering to the audience. Remind me of it.

[Blessing]

Kingdom Come. Deliverance.

[Bear]

No, the other one, the, the anime.

[Mike]

RPG trails in the trail.

[Bear]

Yeah. Chapter two, that second chapter is already coming out this year. Right. And that is also. That's a similar situation where they've built the bones already for that open world.

[Mike]

So I could see it now.

[Blessing]

February 2024 was Rebirth.

[Barrett]

Yeah.

[Blessing]

So I do like, you know, we.

[Barrett]

Say spring 2020 for remake.

[Blessing]

You could get spring 2028. Right. So it still feels close to 2027, but it is that like, hey, right after calendar year, we're right there, I believe 2028.

[Barrett]

Just because I think that's a, that's a cadence. Them talking about how, yeah, we've hit every single milestone as far as our timeline milestone for this game. One that's very impressive. Like, I want to shout out how efficient specifically the Final Fantasy VII remake team is because when they announced that this was going to be multiple games, like a multi parter For Final Fantasy 7 Remake, I think all of us were like, sure.

[Mike]

Like, I'm sure we'll see this whole.

[Barrett]

Thing come out by 2035 or something like that. The fact that we got Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 1 in 2020 and we got Rebirth a, an open world.

[Mike]

Version of that game with way more.

[Barrett]

Content, that's probably what, like 70, 80 hours. I feel like I took. It took me to beat that game that came out four years later.

[Blessing]

Pretty impressive.

[Barrett]

That's really impressive.

[Blessing]

And like Barrett said, right, you're building off of the foundation of number two and three. You might just be keeping that cadence is right.

[Barrett]

So, yeah, I would expect 2028. I'm.

[Mike]

I. If I'm being.

[Barrett]

If I'm trying to push it, if I'm trying to be like, yo, what if I think fall 2027. Okay, but I'd be even surprised about that.

[Blessing]

So when do you think we see it though?

[Mike]

You.

[Blessing]

Do you think Summer Game Fest is the most logical answer?

[Barrett]

I think.

[Blessing]

I mean, not a PlayStation State of Play before that.

[Barrett]

Maybe they're weird.

[Sponsor Announcer]

They.

[Barrett]

They revealed Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth at a Final Fantasy anniversary stream, of course.

[Mike]

That me and Tim were like, yeah.

[Barrett]

Me and Tim were like, oh yeah, we'll see some random shit here. Like we'll react to it. And they showed off the first glimpse at Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. They will do anything. The first time we saw remake was on a PlayStation III. As we know these games come out PlayStation exclusive.

[Mike]

So I think there's a good chance.

[Barrett]

We see it at a PlayStation thing. But the question then becomes, for me, this summer, are we getting a PlayStation showcase? I don't know if we are.

[Blessing]

Is it big enough to get a just Square Enix thing? Maybe Own thing?

[Mike]

I think so, but big enough.

[Barrett]

But I, I want to say we could see it at a state of play, but it strikes me as bigger.

[Mike]

Than state of play.

[Bear]

And I think Jeff can get it.

[Mike]

Oh, I think Jeff can get it.

[Barrett]

That's my thing is I think if you're PlayStation and you're choosing between state.

[Mike]

Of play and Jeff's thing, you might.

[Barrett]

Lean towards Jeff's thing.

[Blessing]

Okay.

[Mike]

Right. You might be like, yo, square. Like put it there.

[Barrett]

This is a prime time announcement. We want this to suck up all the air right between all these other games getting announced. We want you to be the prime star in this showcase.

[Blessing]

Would you be mad if they waited till the TGAs?

[Barrett]

No, you know, I think there's a half and half chance, I think 50% chance for summer, 50% chance for. For end of year.

[Blessing]

This year though, we see it this year for sure. This year for sure, for sure.

[Mike]

This year we.

[Bear]

We will learn more about this game than ever before. Bless.

[Barrett]

Which is anything.

[Bear]

Which means anything. Bless. I want to shout out an A super chat from Aaron Lyon if you want to read that. Just another aspect of possibly 2027 being their window that they want.

[Mike]

Yeah. Aaron Lime writes in the Super Chat and says Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3 is playable with a year of polish expected at Summer Game Fest. Game releases on the 30th anniversary being January 31, 1997. So they're saying January 31, 2027 is what that is.

[Blessing]

Very close.

[Mike]

I think that's insane.

[Bear]

I think that date is insane. But I could see a 30th anniversary for.

[Mike]

Oh, like next year.

[Sponsor Announcer]

Yeah.

[Mike]

Okay.

[Bear]

For 2027.

[Barrett]

Yeah. Again, like fall 2027 seems possible to me.

[Blessing]

No. Oh, yeah.

[Barrett]

Yeah, like next year. For like a year, year and a half.

[Blessing]

They celebrate the year anniversary, but not the date.

[Barrett]

Exactly.

[Blessing]

Yeah. Yeah, Okay. I mean, we'll see that it continues to get closer and closer. I can't wait to play. I'm so excited. Bless. I fell in love with this game, dude. And I never thought I would. I fell in love with this world.

[Barrett]

There's such a magic to Final Fantasy vii Because I'm with you. I. I remember growing up with friends that would argue Final Fantasy 7 is the greatest game of all time. It was always the Zelda Ocarina versus Final Fantasy 7 argument that would go back and forth in my group of friends. And my Final Fantasy 7 friend was so annoying that I didn't want to believe him. He was also the Deadpool friend. You know, Stevie loved Deadpool, loved Final Fantasy 7. Also loved Dark Souls. And he was.

[Blessing]

Stevie's got taste, Steve.

[Mike]

He's got taste.

[Barrett]

But Stevie was so annoying that he. That I didn't want to interact with those things.

[Blessing]

You know what I mean?

[Barrett]

Like, oh, yeah, I played Dark Souls. It's the hardest game of all time.

[Mike]

Look at me. I'm the best. And I'm like you, Stevie. All right, I'm not even touching this.

[Barrett]

I'm playing my own things over here. He was also super into Final Fantasy 13.

[Mike]

Stevie had taste.

[Barrett]

Let me tell you, looking back, Stevie did know what he was.

[Blessing]

Stevie might know.

[Barrett]

Stevie did know. Tastemaker, pacemaker.

[Mike]

For sure.

[Barrett]

We would always have fighting game beasts. Also, that was the other thing. Because he thought he was better than me at Tekken.

[Mike]

And I'm like, you ain't better.

[Barrett]

Oh, man, we ought to fight all.

[Blessing]

Nothing better than having friends like that. We can just battle like that, dude. Gotta have it.

[Barrett]

Oh, yeah. We'd go crazy in fighting games. He was also a dancer. Both me, him came up break dancing and together. So there was one time where we got into, like, dance beef because we were arguing who's the Better dancer. And it legitimately was like a step up movie where we were like, all right, battle right now. Put on the music. Battle right now. And it was one of them ones.

[Mike]

Were like, oh, man, I have such nostalgia for that time. Shout out to Stevie. I hope you're good.

[Barrett]

I don't know what he's doing.

[Blessing]

I hope. Next. Do you think we'll get another, like, big remake like this next? Because I. What I want. Bless.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Blessing]

I want the prequel to Final Fantasy 10. I want them to create the prequel to Final Fantasy 10.

[Barrett]

What does that mean?

[Mike]

Like, you want them to.

[Blessing]

Once you. Once you play the game, you'll learn.

[Barrett]

Okay.

[Blessing]

But like, I want. I want a game set before Final Fantasy 10 that leads into it.

[Barrett]

Final Fantasy 10.

[Mike]

0.

[Blessing]

Give it to me.

[Mike]

Okay.

[Blessing]

Give it to me.

[Mike]

Next.

[Barrett]

Big remake. I mean, what they. Wasn't there rumors of final fantasy either.

[Mike]

8 or 9 remake? Or am I thinking of 10?

[Blessing]

Would. Would they go back to doing more remakes like this?

[Barrett]

Yeah, but they're not going to be.

[Bear]

As big as this.

[Mike]

That's the problem if you're sticking within Final Fantasy.

[Barrett]

I mean, this is the biggest one. Unless you maybe if you did Final Fantasy 6, if you like really went back.

[Mike]

But I think that's really. That's hard though. That's tough. That's like a different type of thing. But I don't think they're.

[Barrett]

I don't think they'll reach the heights of this. But I could still see the.

[Mike]

See them sticking in Final Fantasy 7 land.

[Barrett]

Be like, yo, we're just going to keep making.

[Blessing]

Go on more adventures.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Barrett]

What if we do spin offs?

[Blessing]

What if we make the characters now?

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Barrett]

What if we take some of these.

[Mike]

Characters and just make more games with them?

[Blessing]

It's a great idea.

[Mike]

All right, let's hop into this breaking news that everybody's so excited about. All right, let me prep it.

[Bear]

And don't look anywhere.

[Blessing]

Bless.

[Mike]

I'm not looking anywhere. I'm not even reading chat right now.

[Bear]

Because this is.

[Mike]

This is.

[Bear]

We want a live reaction to this announcement here.

[Blessing]

Oh, is this real news?

[Mike]

Breaking news.

[Barrett]

No shot.

[Mike]

Kristen Bell has been cast as Amy.

[Barrett]

Rose in Sonic 4.

[Blessing]

Rose.

[Barrett]

Okay, you know what? That's with it. That's fun.

[Mike]

I like it.

[Barrett]

Kristen Bell. I shout out to her, I loved her in the good place.

[Blessing]

Of course you love her.

[Barrett]

Yeah, Good place.

[Mike]

So good.

[Barrett]

This I would not have thought about.

[Blessing]

About this. You wouldn't have put these two together?

[Barrett]

I wouldn't have. I wouldn't have put these two together. But I guess it makes sense.

[Blessing]

You know what? I bet you if you saw the big board of all the faces of actors that you would have to possibly feel this. You'd go, you know what? Kristen Bell. Not bad. Yeah.

[Mike]

Kristen Bell. I think that makes sense.

[Blessing]

Yeah.

[Barrett]

What has she been up to? I'm not seeing her since the Good Place.

[Blessing]

She's doing a lot of commercials. TV commercials.

[Barrett]

She is doing a lot of commercials. Actually, you're right.

[Bear]

There was that second Frozen movie, right?

[Barrett]

Oh, I forgot. She was Elsa. Wait, no. Was she Elsa?

[Bear]

She was one of them, right.

[Mike]

Which one was she in? Frozen? We're looking it up.

[Barrett]

One of them.

[Blessing]

She has Nobody wants this. 2024. Two seasons of that.

[Mike]

Anna. She was Anna.

[Barrett]

Yeah.

[Blessing]

I see one of them with Adam Broly.

[Mike]

Yeah. See? Veronica Mars. Nobody wants this. Gossip Girl. She was in Gossip Girl. I didn't watch Gossip Girl.

[Barrett]

Forgetting Sarah Marshall.

[Blessing]

We love getting Sarah Marshall. She's Veronica Mars.

[Mike]

Yep. That is true. Yeah.

[Bear]

She was in Paw Patrol, the mighty movie.

[Blessing]

Also Bad Moms. Now that's a movie I've watched.

[Mike]

People.

[Bear]

People were talking about hacks. She's a packs.

[Blessing]

Yeah.

[Mike]

Let's just focus on the good places.

[Barrett]

The good place is fire.

[Blessing]

I've watched a couple.

[Bear]

Remember when she was in Assassin's Creed?

[Barrett]

She was in Assassin's Creed.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Bear]

She was Lucy back in the OG days.

[Blessing]

In the.

[Bear]

The modern parts of the game.

[Blessing]

Dad. Mom's Christmas.

[Barrett]

Shout out.

[Mike]

Kristen Bell.

[Barrett]

Congratulations on this role.

[Mike]

I love this for you.

[Barrett]

I knew it was gonna be something Sonic related. Yeah, I thought it was gonna be something more exciting, like a game.

[Blessing]

I thought we were gonna go back to Fox. I thought Barrett had concrete proof that Fox wasn't. He's like, I found it.

[Barrett]

That'd be crazy.

[Blessing]

That would be crazy.

[Barrett]

Nintendo just officially announces it.

[Mike]

Let's move on to story number two. Tencent was quietly backing High Guard Studio, according to a report. This is from Rebecca Valentine at Ignition. High Guard, the free to play PvP raid shooter announced that the game awards last year and released to preemptive criticism and mockery only for most of its developers to be laid off just weeks after launch, was apparently financially backed by Tencent, according to a report.

[Barrett]

This comes from Game File, which reports.

[Mike]

That the Chinese gaming module was the first primary. Was. Sorry, Was the primary financial backer. There we go. Behind developer Wildlife Entertainment, an arrangement that was not publicly shared by either company. Prior to this report, it was unclear who was funding Wildlight, despite High Guard seemingly being in development for a number of years prior to Its announcement at the Game Awards in December. Its official LinkedIn page has long included the line that Wildlight is a new fully funded entertainment studio. It remains unclear how heavily reliant Wildlight was on Tencent or whether a decision to pull funding was made at some point that led to the mass layoffs. Wildlight's future as a studio also remains unclear, with a studio statement saying that it would retain a core group of developers to keep High Guard going.

[Barrett]

They're looming in the shadows.

[Blessing]

Yeah. I mean, funding your kind of involved in everything is. Yeah, they have a small hand or a large hand in everything that you're probably playing or some way, shape or form. But yeah, this was a wild one. Bless. We had a wild day yesterday with High Guard. From the website being down to the discord leading to some random discord to then this coming out. It's been a wild, Wild Guard day.

[Barrett]

While Wild Guard.

[Blessing]

I like the Wild Guard day. Yeah.

[Barrett]

I don't know how I feel about this. Like, I don't really have an opinion because this changes nothing for me.

[Mike]

Right.

[Blessing]

No. I mean, we also had questions of like, well, who's backing this? Right? Because they were like, we're independent. We don't have a publisher. It's just us.

[Barrett]

We have all these developers that are working under our studio.

[Blessing]

We've been doing this for a couple of years now. So you got to start adding up. It's like, okay, well, money has to be coming from somewhere.

[Barrett]

They were funded by somebody.

[Blessing]

And I don't think Dusty with the nice jacket that we met is the man that has enough money to fund all of this for years. Right. So it's like, okay, something has to be involved. And yeah, it seems like 10 cent might have been one of the first. Maybe it was. Who. Who knows how much involvement is? Until we get more from this.

[Mike]

Yeah. Let's move on. Story number three. But before we do, I want to tell you about patreon.com kind of funny and YouTube.com kind of funny games where you can get the kind of funny membership which allows you to get shows ad free. Speaking of ads, let us tell you about our sponsors.

[Mike]

Barrett said he had this to show us. Oh.

[Barrett]

This is a fan art of Fox McCloud riding Yoshi.

[Mike]

Honestly.

[Blessing]

See? People have thought about it.

[Barrett]

Yeah. But here's the thing. You will not trick me with cuteness.

[Mike]

All right?

[Barrett]

You're not gonna get me.

[Blessing]

You're not gonna.

[Barrett]

You almost got me. I. I was gonna turn around on it, but I had to think about it more. No, we can't allow this. Yoshi is not just some steed to be rode on.

[Blessing]

Let him know.

[Bear]

Yoshi isn't a steed here.

[Mike]

He's a protector of little baby Fox McCloud.

[Barrett]

Yoshi protects the Mario brothers, and that's it.

[Bear]

Wow.

[Mike]

In Mario kingdom dwellers, is Yoshi seen.

[Blessing]

As a steed or just another character in this world? It's like Yoshioko.

[Barrett]

No, Yoshi's not a choke.

[Blessing]

Not a horse. Okay.

[Barrett]

Yoshi's like a friend. Yoshi's more than a chocobo. Yoshi's a friend that you ride. You know, a friend with riding benefits. It's like a friend.

[Blessing]

Elder Scrolls, the best friends. The cat people, right?

[Mike]

Yes.

[Blessing]

The cat people have many different forms, but some cats are so big and they still run on fours, on four feet, that the smaller cat people, who are now going up on two feet, ride those guys. Yeah. That's some Elder Scroll, Elder Scrolls lore for you.

[Barrett]

In the Disney universe, where do you stand on Goofy owning a dog?

[Blessing]

Because he's technically a dog.

[Barrett]

Yes. Because that's how I feel about this question.

[Blessing]

Where does Yoshi stand with Pluto?

[Barrett]

Because Yoshi is somewhere between Pluto and Goofy to me.

[Blessing]

Interesting.

[Barrett]

Because Yoshi doesn't speak like in our language, at least.

[Blessing]

Okay.

[Barrett]

Right. We don't really understand what she said.

[Blessing]

But we ride them like a steed.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Blessing]

But we treat him like a friend.

[Barrett]

Yes. Is Yoshi more Goofy or Is Yoshi More Pluto.

[Mike]

Think about that.

[Blessing]

Okay. I never got deep under that. I have to think about it.

[Barrett]

Barrett, what disturbs you about what I just said?

[Blessing]

A lot.

[Bear]

Just a lot of everything that just.

[Mike]

Came out of your mouth. Fair enough.

[Barrett]

Story number three Replaced Release date delayed.

[Mike]

Again less than a month from launch. This is from Tom Phillips at IGN Replace. Developer Sadcast Studios has announced a delay to its 2.5D cyberpunk game just three weeks shy of his plan to launch. Instead of arriving on March 12, the retro futuristic platformer will now debut on April 14, a move that Sadcat said was decided upon following upon following the response to its Steam demo.

[Barrett]

Quote.

[Mike]

As a small team working on our very first title, we've poured everything we have into this project, the studio wrote in a statement shared on Twitter. Quote. While the game is technically finished, reaching this final stretch has shown us that we need just a few more weeks to ensure the experience is exactly what you deserve. We want the version of replaced you play on day one to be polished, stable and true to the vision we've shared with you. The response to our Steam demo has been the ultimate fuel for us, Sadcat continued. To be honest, putting it out there was nerve wracking. But seeing your gameplay, reading your reviews and hearing your excitement has been overwhelming in the best way possible. We're constantly reading your comments and that feedback is helping us make the final tweaks that will make the full game shine. End quote.

[Barrett]

You know, you know the famous quote, Michael Jordan said it one time. Michael Jordan, a delayed game is better than a game that you didn't delay. That came out bad.

[Blessing]

Very cool. Yep, yep.

[Mike]

Thank you, Michael Jordan.

[Blessing]

I mean, yes, this is the right thing to do. It's exciting because it's been a long time coming to get to this point and this team has gone through a lot, so it is very cool that we are like right there. And of course, yeah, they put out a demo, you get a lot of fan feedback and the first thing you probably want to do is be like, timeout, let's go address that. Let's make this game even better. Right? And so yeah, probably leads to a discussion in the boardroom and say, hey, can we stall for a little bit longer? Let's make it great. So on day one, they have everything they're asking for and more.

[Mike]

Man, I can't get over how good this game looks.

[Blessing]

Did you play the demo?

[Barrett]

No, I never got around to the demo.

[Blessing]

Still available on Steam right now.

[Barrett]

Maybe I'll play. Maybe I'll check it out I heard anything. Andy told me it was short too. So easy.

[Mike]

I like that easy.

[Barrett]

Knock it out Story number four A.

[Mike]

Chrono Trigger remake is Already in development Inside Acclaims this is from Franchesco Deo at WCCF Tech. Over the past year we heard rumblings of a Chrono Trigger remake possibly being in development, but fans were consistently disappointed when it turned out to be either mistranslations or mere development considerations from Yuji Hori, the creator of the Dragon Quest series who also served as one of the legendary games writers. However, according to a known insider, a remake of the classic 16 bit JRPG is indeed in development. Commenting on a Reset Era forum in a thread regarding a recent survey shared by Square Enix's Team Asano, the studio behind the Octopath Traveler series which popularized the HD 2D Visual Style Insider John Harker made a very interesting comment.

[Barrett]

Quote the Chronos stuff is already in.

[Mike]

Dev, though let's ask for something else like opening back up Triangle Strategy two or a legit sequel to Final Fantasy Tactics, the insider said, instantly rekindling fans hopes for a remake. Quote, you really went and just said the quiet part out loud later, said member Sketch Dog, to which John Harker replied, quote, wouldn't be the first time, end quote, doubling down on the provided information. Unfortunately, the insider did not specify if this Chrono Trigger remake will be an HD 2D game, an enhanced remaster in the vein of Final Fantasy Tactics, the Ivelisse Chronicles, or a doll style remake like the recent Dragon Quest 7 reimagined. Needless to say, a random post on a public forum wouldn't really be trustworthy coming from any random user. However, John Harker has been providing accurate information about upcoming video games and showcases for almost a decade, revealing, for example, details of details about Assassin's Creed Odyssey and Assassin's Creed Shadows, the timeframes for state of play and intended direct presentations, and more. As such, while the information still has to be taken with a huge grain of salt, the possibility that the user may have revealed correct information is rather substantial.

[Barrett]

Cool. Yeah, I I, I was gonna say Roger Barrett did Smoke Bear. You're a big Chrono Trigger person.

[Bear]

Chrono Trigger is like a very important the my early development of getting into video games games.

[Blessing]

Yeah.

[Mike]

What kind of art style would you want?

[Barrett]

Would you want HD2D? Would you want the I've been playing.

[Bear]

The Octopath Traveler 2 trailer just because yeah in my head like I I would love to to see it kind of have it like fully realized, not fully get away from that. That original art style that I personally hold near and dear to my heart. And I would love to see it kind of recreated in the style with the recent. What was it? Dragon Quest 7.

[Mike]

The.

[Bear]

The doll style is what they're referring to. Right?

[Blessing]

I don't know.

[Bear]

I don't know if I would want that.

[Barrett]

I think that works for. It's.

[Bear]

It's tough because there is the Toriyama art style that you see in the Chrono Trigger cutscenes that I do think would be kind of neat to see the. The doll style.

[Blessing]

But I. I don't know.

[Bear]

Yeah, it's a tough one.

[Barrett]

This would be what would get me to play through Chrono Trigger.

[Blessing]

This would be the moment here.

[Barrett]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I love the HD 2D stuff. Even though I think I mentioned. No, it was a super chat.

[Mike]

I think in one of our Hot.

[Barrett]

Takes episodes that was like HD2D, that person didn't like it. I disagree with not liking it. But also I do think maybe it's a little bit overdone. Maybe we're doing a little bit too much. But also it's like there's only so much you can do with remaking pixels that I'm not mad at it.

[Bear]

Yeah. You know, and there's any game to do it with. I personally believe it's chrono triggered.

[Barrett]

Yeah.

[Mike]

And so yeah, I would play.

[Barrett]

I would play it this way.

[Mike]

Give me like a Live Alive sequel.

[Barrett]

Or follow up or something.

[Mike]

That's what I want to.

[Blessing]

Okay. Yeah. Like that. You're like the insider of like let's go to the next thing now.

[Barrett]

Yeah.

[Blessing]

Like, oh, it's. It's going down.

[Barrett]

Let's take this ourselves out.

[Mike]

Let's keep making.

[Blessing]

We're ready for another.

[Mike]

Let's take.

[Barrett]

Yeah. Classic games and try to like. Because triangle strategy struck me as. That's like a successor to Final Fantasy Tactics. Obviously.

[Mike]

New ip, new franchise or whatever.

[Barrett]

But let's try to reinvoke what we did in the classic days.

[Mike]

Give me something like that with Live Alive.

[Barrett]

I know it's a weird one. I know most people don't care, but I liked that game so much when I played it in HD 2D.

[Mike]

And so that's my request Story number or Earthbound.

[Blessing]

Lesson's got some requests.

[Barrett]

Remake Earthbound.

[Blessing]

Earthbound.

[Mike]

I know that requires you then partner with Nintendo.

[Blessing]

Yes.

[Barrett]

But like Square Enix and so you've.

[Mike]

Partnered with Nintendo before. Just do it again.

[Barrett]

Give me Mother.

[Mike]

Me mother two bucket.

[Barrett]

Give Me, mother three, you know, Mike, start number five.

[Mike]

Speaking of Nintendo, Pokemon card store that made headlines after customers held it at gunpoint is now hit by Nintendo requests to rebrand.

[Barrett]

This is Tom Phillips.

[Blessing]

This is a wild story to go down at IGN is a wild story to go down.

[Barrett]

Last month, New York Pokemon card store.

[Mike]

The Poke Court was the focus of media attention following a frightening armed burglary that that involved its staff and customers being held at gunpoint. The incident prompted widespread shock and sympathy for the fledgling outlet, which lost $100,000 worth of stock in minutes. But now the business has said the famously litigious Nintendo has been in touch not to offer aid, however, but to share concerns over its name and logo.

[Blessing]

And pause. This is where you're like, oh, man, Pokemon cards, they've gotten out of control. People are robbing each other over this stuff. I feel so bad. From the. A small mom and pop shop, probably just trying to get by and then they got robbed. That's CR stuff. You're like, oh, Nintendo, maybe they're gonna. They'll help him out. Buy a new front door firm or something. I'm sure it'll be something nice.

[Mike]

Hey.

[Bear]

What.

[Barrett]

What's up with your name?

[Mike]

The Poke Court is now being forced to rebrand with a storefront social accounts and online site all being rebranded to the Trainer Court over the coming days. The previous design featured a stylized Pokeball logo that is now being replaced by a simple C colored in green. In a statement posted to Instagram, the newly retitled Trainer Court thanked fans for support amidst the robbery and beyond. But it said it was now having to change its name and logo due to a complaint from Nintendo. Quote, the short story is Nintendo reached out to us with concerns about our name and logo. The Trainer Court wrote, this means we're evolving. Same team, same ridiculous hit rate. And soon even greater things come. Things coming your way, end quote.

[Barrett]

This is hilarious only because, like, Nintendo does not care.

[Blessing]

It's dropping salt in the wound.

[Barrett]

Nintendo's like, like, wait, they got robbed? A hundred thousand dollars?

[Mike]

Damn.

[Barrett]

That's crazy. They're named. What? Yo, send them, get them. Listen, all we feel for you, whatever. Change your name, bro.

[Mike]

And they're not wrong.

[Blessing]

Yeah, I mean, you know that. You know they're not wrong. You've seen it with a lot of other people. That's right.

[Mike]

Like, yeah, I don't know.

[Barrett]

It's a weird.

[Bear]

Timing is just like, what are we doing?

[Barrett]

Timing is horrendous. But here's the thing, right? Nintendo's. They're in the right about this, right? You can't just name your thing. Pokey Court with the accent. Mark with the accent.

[Blessing]

Ague on a Pokemon ball in your logo.

[Barrett]

Yeah, yeah, you can't do that. And so, yeah, like, you do have to change your name, but also like, I feel like this works in their benefit because since the robbery, they've gotten.

[Mike]

A lot of press.

[Barrett]

I think this will give them even more press. I think this will give them even more support of people being like, what. What's going on here? Like, let's support the store. Let's. Let's go there now.

[Mike]

This is what I'll say.

[Barrett]

Nintendo.

[Mike]

Have you seen the people using AI.

[Barrett]

To make Nintendo games? Have you seen this? Like, Nintendo people are recreating Breath of the Wild and Pokemon by just typing.

[Mike]

In things and posting it.

[Barrett]

I don't know if you're aware, but.

[Mike]

You should do something about that.

[Barrett]

I don't know, like you're not doing anything.

[Mike]

It's kind of making it look a little.

[Blessing]

When they make the local news, then Nintendo will come. You have to make the local news.

[Mike]

I'm just saying. I thought you were about that life. Nintendo, you know, this is the equivalent.

[Barrett]

Of like, like a big rapper dissing, like, you know, fucking like a homie who sells out, who passes out mixtapes on the street versus dissing, like the actual big guy that's actually coming at them, you know, like, what if Kendrick didn't diss? What if Kendrick didn't diss Drake? What if Kendrick dissed, I don't know, like dissed Andy? After Andy put out a rap song.

[Blessing]

Andy points, I was like, me?

[Barrett]

Yeah, like, go after the AI people.

[Mike]

That's what I say. Story number six, our final one. This is a required reading for you. Open source game engine Godot is drowning in AI slop code contributions. Quote, I don't know how long we.

[Barrett]

Can keep it up.

[Mike]

This is from Lincoln Carpenter at PC Gamer. Open source software development. The open collaborative contribution of knowledge in the name of problem solving, bug fixing and feature development and ongoing support is a borderline utopian idea. But the advent of generative LLMs has forced the maintainers of projects like open source game engine Godot to face a deluge of AI generated code from would be contributors who might not even understand the changes they're submitting.

[Barrett]

In a Blue sky thread via game.

[Mike]

Developer Remy Rochelle, one of the primary maintainers of the Godot GitHub repository and co founder of major Godot backer W4Games, says the problem of AI slop pull requests or requests to merge code changes with the project is quote becoming increasingly draining and demoralizing for Godot maintainers as they're now forced to deliberate the trustworthiness and human authorship of an onslaught of LLM generated contributions. Even if Godot's maintainers are able to identify AI generated code for description, Rochelle says that's often just the first often just the first of compounding complications. Quote Is this code wrong because it was written by AI or is it an honest mistake from an inexperienced human contributor? Rochelle said quote what do we even what do you do when you ask a PR author if they used AI because you're suspicious and they all reply with yes, I used it to write the PR description because I'm bad at with English end quote.

[Barrett]

I stopped the article there because this goes deep in the Duffy as far as stuff that's kind of like, I think usually deeper than we go into the development world. As far as, you know, having to manage these requests from developers on Godot and like how much the AI slop shit is now weighing down on them.

[Mike]

And making their lives a lot harder. Again, I'm placing this as required reading. This is written by Lincoln Carpenter at PC Gamer. One thing I'll throw out there, right, if you're like what is Godot? I've never heard of Godot before. Like we mentioned in the article, Godot is an open source game engine which.

[Barrett]

Makes it makes making games available to.

[Mike]

Like a wider spread of people right.

[Barrett]

Than something that might cost an arm.

[Mike]

And a leg to actually get into and make.

[Barrett]

If you're wondering what kind of games have been made in in Godot games.

[Mike]

That you know, right?

[Barrett]

Slay the Spire 2 is being made in Godot.

[Mike]

Brotato was made in go. Battlefield 6 used Godot for the Portal Editor for the Battlefield Portal Map Editor Case of the Golden Idol. Those are games that me and Barrett love a lot. Luck Be a Landlord, Rise of the.

[Barrett]

Golden Idol and most interestingly, in my opinion, in 2021, Sonic Colors ultimate was made in Go.

[Mike]

Yeah, they used a modified version of Godot to make that and so go.

[Barrett]

To PC Gamer if you're interested in learning more.

[Mike]

They'll have the the thread linked there if you want to read into what's going on.

[Barrett]

But Mike, a lot of big AI stories in the last few months that honestly I'm getting sick of but it's only going to continue sadly. But we'll try to manage it. If I wanted something smaller, say the tiniest news I needed to know about.

[Mike]

Where Would I go?

[Blessing]

Yeah.

[Mike]

Bless.

[Blessing]

I'd take you to our last story, the WE News channel, where we cover all the small news items you need to know about.

[Barrett]

Also, people in chat are correct me, it's pronounced good. Doe.

[Blessing]

Godot.

[Mike]

Good, though.

[Blessing]

Godot. Like Gal Gadot.

[Barrett]

Like Gal Gadot. There you go.

[Mike]

Story number seven. WE News Saudi Arabia's public investment fund has transferred its stake in Take Two to its gaming focused subsidiary, Savvy Games Group. Savvy Games group is now take two's second biggest shareholder.

[Blessing]

Okay.

[Mike]

King of Tokyo launches May 21st. And Cthulhu, the Cosmic Abyss launches April 16th on Xbox series, PS5 and PC. And that is it for We News.

[Barrett]

You pronounce the T. Go dope. Go dope. Go dope.

[Bear]

He's the Godot.

[Barrett]

Go do.

[Mike]

My apologies for pronouncing it the way.

[Barrett]

That was spelled, guys.

[Mike]

I apologize.

[Barrett]

I don't use a goodote.

[Mike]

Let's hop into super chats, Mike. Let's hang out for a little bit.

[Blessing]

Let's hang out. Let's have some fun.

[Mike]

Silver J. Hawkins says started a Vowed for the second time ever, but first time on PS5. Having a blast and can't wait to play more when I get back home from work.

[Blessing]

There you go. Yeah. Bless our Bless. Andy and Greg are going to sit down today for the Gamescast place to show off. I am. Well, I was. I was saying bless. Oh, and I got to throw your name together. Andy and Greg will sit down to play a vowed on PS5 today where they're playing Xbox, but they'll show you all the big updates. They'll talk about it.

[Mike]

Cthudran says. I had a dream that Mike got fired for using the company card to buy french fries and I got hired to be our. Oh. To be Andy's new best friend. Fell asleep listening to yesterday's kfcd.

[Blessing]

Nice. That's great.

[Mike]

Good for you.

[Blessing]

Nick would be mad at me buying french fries.

[Barrett]

I don't think that would get anybody fired. That would be anybody close to fired. I'm pretty sure we've used the company card to buy much worse than french fries.

[Mike]

The Portland Kevin says super excited to have you up in pdx. I got you covered for some of the best pizza in town and a fig and a few other cool things to see and eat.

[Blessing]

Get ready. I'm coming to Portland tomorrow. Tomorrow night and Friday morning if you want to see me. I'll be running around the city. Portland. Kevin's hooking it up and I'm ready to have some fun.

[Barrett]

Why Is why is Portland shortened to pdx? I assume that's like the area pdx.

[Blessing]

What y' all really want is that like the.

[Bear]

Their airport do they have.

[Mike]

Oh, I guess that's just. Yeah, that's probably the airport, right? Fly pdx. Oh, yeah. Portland International.

[Blessing]

That's cool.

[Mike]

Thank you.

[Blessing]

You ever been to Portland? Bless you. Up in Seattle, you were close one.

[Barrett]

Time for like a very short time when chose driving from Seattle to San Francisco to move here to work for. Kind of funny. I stopped in Portland because I have a cousin that used to live in Portland and so me and. Me and her grabbed lunch.

[Blessing]

I'm gonna see the iconic sign. You ever think about the sign?

[Barrett]

No. The iconic Portland sign?

[Blessing]

Yeah, there's a. It's got a tail. It's got the whole state of Oregon. That's the iconic sign. Neon light.

[Mike]

I'm looking it up.

[Barrett]

Oh, this. I know the sign.

[Blessing]

You know the sign? You know the sign? Yeah, we see the sign for sure. We'll walk around. We'll have some fun. See. Now if you call the rose garden bless, of course, Portland's rose test garden that has over 10,000 roses, 555 different species of roses. You call them. They say the roses are in bloom. You're like, are you sure? It's February and it's snowing and they're like, yeah, the roses are in bloom. All right, all right. I feel like I'm going to show up there. It's going to be a bunch of dead bushes because it's not time yet. I'm gonna believe.

[Barrett]

Nobody's forcing you.

[Blessing]

I'm gonna believe them. Well, it's the rose city.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Blessing]

So, like, I want to see some roses if I'm in the road.

[Barrett]

Yeah, but you're going in February.

[Blessing]

Yeah, we gotta. You gotta roll the dice.

[Barrett]

I mean, roll the dice. I mean, if they're telling you that.

[Mike]

Then they'll probably be there. Shashlai909 says, Mike, you need an MTG player to teach you deck build strategies, etc. You need to start figuring out what your ops have in hand. And don't and don't think out loud.

[Blessing]

Well, I got blessing with me. Blessing is my deck building master over here.

[Barrett]

Yeah, but I suck at draft. I don't do draft.

[Blessing]

He's my guy. It's hard. Magic arena deck building is different than me sitting down at the local shop.

[Bear]

Right.

[Blessing]

At the local shop. I've now made friends with the, you know, the normal community there. They'll help me. We'll engage, we'll Talk about it and I feel like I play a little bit better. I'll just say this. This new set with Lorwind Eclipse, it's over my head.

[Barrett]

It's over my head.

[Blessing]

I don't like blights. I'm not really vibing with the elemental. The shape shifting. Like, I'm just not getting a good flow with any of this set. So I just think that this set is not for me.

[Barrett]

I. I agree with you. I, you know, I've done now a few, like, limited sealed things with friends and like, they enjoy it so much, but I think that's because they're more magic.

[Mike]

Pierce.

[Blessing]

Yeah.

[Barrett]

I'm like, I'm here to have fun and this is whooping my ass. I cannot find a strategy around it. Like, nothing's sticking for me. But hey, TMNT is around the corner.

[Blessing]

What was that? What was that green card that we had where it was like x equals. And then like you had the mana but something. It became power. It became power as well. There's a couple words here that I'm just not. I'm just not vibing with and getting right off the bat.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Blessing]

Bring me back to Avatar. I was in the flow with Avatar.

[Barrett]

Oh, Avatar is so fun.

[Blessing]

I hit the flow state with Avatar, man. I also did seven events in three days.

[Mike]

That's why Blakers 37 writes in and says they didn't make Rebirth DLC to get part three out faster. Totally announcing it at SGF and releasing it by the 30th anniversary in July 2027. Bet.

[Barrett]

Lol.

[Blessing]

Well, we got July and now January. How many anniversaries we get in here?

[Mike]

Well, I think they're saying the 30th.

[Barrett]

Anniversary year, but they'll release it by July next year.

[Bear]

I could see it.

[Blessing]

We'll see. I mean, we'd all love to play it sooner than later.

[Mike]

Let's see here. EJ RPG5495 writes in and says, for those that can't wait for Final Fantasy and Remake Part 3, may I suggest playing the original version on PC with mods, namely Echo S7, which adds full original voice acting. There you go.

[Barrett]

Do you want to get to the end of the story yourself?

[Blessing]

Right to it. Yeah. Yeah.

[Barrett]

Although we're at the point now where we can just admit that this is not the same game. Like, it's not. You can play through the rest of Final Fantasy vii.

[Bear]

But are there things that you're going to pull out more knowing the original story?

[Blessing]

Right.

[Mike]

Sure, sure. Yeah.

[Barrett]

I feel that.

[Mike]

What else we got in here. Let's do this one from Heroic headgear. Mike, when you're in Portland area, you got to check out Vault 31. It's Fallout themed gaming bar that's got immaculate vibes you'd really dig.

[Blessing]

Oh, that's fun. Yeah. Yeah. I'm going to get weird in Portland. Yeah, there's weird stuff in Portland.

[Barrett]

I heard they got a lot of strip clubs over there.

[Blessing]

Strip clubs? I wasn't thinking strip club. No, I was thinking more like taxidermy, apocalypse, apothecary shops that I was going to go into, maybe buy, like a dead rodent statue.

[Barrett]

Is that where you're going to get Andy for his birthday?

[Blessing]

Damn, he'd love that. Oh, my God. I saw this one that had a raccoon shooting a bow and arrow and I thought, that's a good buy.

[Barrett]

You're two different people.

[Blessing]

That's a goodbye.

[Barrett]

I would have been there like, yo, where's the strip clubs at, though? That's what you go to Portland for, though.

[Blessing]

Bless.

[Mike]

Yes, interesting.

[Blessing]

Portland.

[Barrett]

I think Portland is known as a strip club city. Really?

[Bear]

Is known as, like, the weird city. Portland is like cooler sf, Chad.

[Mike]

Am I wrong?

[Barrett]

I thought Portland was like, somewhere with a strip club.

[Blessing]

I want to be warm.

[Barrett]

No, because you go to the strip club to get warm. The strip club warms you up. What are you talking about?

[Blessing]

On a cold winter night.

[Barrett]

If I'm going to Portland, I'm going to a strip club.

[Mike]

All right?

[Barrett]

You know what I mean? Where's the.

[Blessing]

They know. They know. He knows. Did you ever take Roger to the San Francisco one with the.

[Mike]

The chicken, the gold special?

[Barrett]

No. I can convince him. You know, Roger, he's so tough. He's so tough.

[Blessing]

He talks this game of like, oh, yeah, I'd love to do all this. And then when it's finally time, he's like, no.

[Barrett]

It's like, okay, yeah. It's like, I thought you were cool. I thought we were going.

[Mike]

Thought we're going to the strip club, man. Let's see what else we got here. Castle wing says watching on delay, but with the TCG talk, I might. I. I have to ask Barrett and Mike if there's any chance of some one piece TCG streams and pack openings. Hashtag, kind of anime.

[Bear]

I refuse to get into physical card games. Pokemon TCG pocket. So the thing that saves me away from all this nonsense that these two boys get into all the time.

[Blessing]

Yeah, it's unfortunate. Logan Paul got into one piece, and so now all the prices are skyrocketing.

[Bear]

Got into one piece.

[Blessing]

Me and me and poor Kevin A Stacks go to the local card shop and every single pack from the beginning of time to right now is $45 plus. And you're like, all right, well, I guess we're not buying one piece today, y'.

[Mike]

All. Logan Paul, Motor World Hype writes in and says, even though I have seen tons of stories about it, I still don't get what was actually wrong with High Guard. What was the issue? Was it really just the TGA announcement falling flat?

[Barrett]

Can someone in.

[Mike]

Can someone nutshell this for me?

[Barrett]

Mike, what was wrong with High Guard.

[Blessing]

Nutshell this for you? You ready for this? All right, this is a Snowbike Mike rundown of what went wrong with High Guard One. It closed the show at the TGAs, which was probably one of the best TGAs in recent years. There was so much hype for it. Unfortunately, people don't really care for multiplayer games like that to close out such a high profile show. So they were like, hey, this generic looking multiplayer shooter should not have closed the show. I now have decided to hate this game. And then the team over at High Guard was like, hey, guess what? We were going to stealth drop this even without Geoff Keighley. So we're gonna go on a whole month long hiatus of not saying anything, not telling people what a raid shooter is. We're just gonna wait until it's finally game time. And then they invited press and me, press and creators to come out and play the game. They all came out and was like, hey, you know what? It's actually a good time. It's not that bad of a thing. You might like it. And then the game dropped and people jumped in. They were like, you know what? It's not bad. It's just kind of good. It's generic. It's basic. I don't want to play this anymore. I've moved on to the next game. And that's the story of High Guard.

[Barrett]

Wild Guard.

[Blessing]

Wild Guard.

[Mike]

Wild Guard.

[Barrett]

I got you.

[Mike]

Let's see here. Also, very well done. Very well done.

[Blessing]

Pretty close.

[Mike]

Pretty close. Alva Rockin 79.96 says friend. Mario throws him on the first pit. He throws, he finds. Okay, we're talking about Yoshi again. Does Mario do that or does the player do that? You know what I mean?

[Barrett]

I think Mario's a friend of Yoshi, but the player. And here's what I'll say also because this is going to fall apart.

[Blessing]

Yeah.

[Barrett]

Because have you ever seen like the animation for in Mario World where Mario. Like when Yoshi sticks out his tongue, do you see what Mario does?

[Blessing]

Does?

[Barrett]

He hits him on the head.

[Blessing]

He bonks.

[Mike]

He fucking bonks him.

[Blessing]

To make him spit out the tongue.

[Mike]

Yes.

[Blessing]

So he's making Yoshi do things that Yoshi doesn't want to do.

[Barrett]

I mean, we don't know.

[Bear]

Wow.

[Barrett]

Maybe we need to get Yoshi away.

[Bear]

From Mario and friends and let him ride and let other fellow animals ride on him because they know how to treat him, right? Like Fox McCloud.

[Blessing]

He's treating him like a horse.

[Barrett]

Then here's the thing, right? We're doing. We're doing the equivalent of digging up Mario's old tweets here. He's grown as a person. He's grow. Why can't we grow? They don't do that anymore. You know what I mean? It was so long ago.

[Blessing]

This will be very interesting how they show Yoshi in this movie.

[Bear]

I'm just saying, would this adorable baby child ever hit Yoshi on the head?

[Barrett]

He wouldn't.

[Mike]

You're right.

[Bear]

Exactly.

[Blessing]

He would have a voice actor in this. Who is Yoshi?

[Barrett]

Yes.

[Blessing]

In the movie.

[Mike]

Wait, no.

[Barrett]

I guess. I don't know. They've not said wow, but they've said Yoshi has said Yoshi in the trailer.

[Blessing]

Yeah, Just that. Like that.

[Barrett]

Yes.

[Blessing]

Okay.

[Barrett]

And that's all Yoshi will say? Probably.

[Blessing]

I think so.

[Bear]

Chat says Vin Diesel.

[Blessing]

That's good.

[Bear]

That's a good joke.

[Blessing]

I like that.

[Barrett]

I could see a post credit like a dumb post credits where like, Yoshi.

[Mike]

Actually says a full sentence.

[Blessing]

Starts talking.

[Barrett]

Yeah.

[Blessing]

He says something to another Yoshi.

[Bear]

No, he says, It's a Fox McLeod. Because Fox McLeod can understand him.

[Barrett]

Like, he says something very sophisticated. Like he starts quoting Shakespeare or something. I don't know.

[Mike]

Joshi Frog says baby Bowser calls Yoshi a donkey in Yoshi's island.

[Barrett]

Well, Baby Bowser's a villain.

[Blessing]

Okay.

[Mike]

I don't like all this Yoshi slander.

[Blessing]

He is a villain. He is a villain.

[Mike]

Phil the trucker says reluded is awesome. Thanks for putting me on. Bless. Hell yeah.

[Blessing]

Nice.

[Bear]

Let's go.

[Blessing]

Thanks for giving it a try. That's awesome.

[Mike]

And then lastly, Digital Nips writes in and says devil's Point in Portland has stricter karaoke.

[Blessing]

Stripper karaoke. I bet you what that. Oh, you know what? Because Devil Snips took me to a place and then when I saw the karaoke, it's like, yeah, that's got to be stripper karaoke.

[Mike]

Well, Digital Nips is the writer's name.

[Blessing]

Well, that Bull's Point took me too.

[Barrett]

Oh, I see.

[Blessing]

You know, I mean, it's like. Oh, yeah, yeah.

[Barrett]

But like, you don't want to do stripper karaoke.

[Blessing]

Now that does sound like a blast.

[Bear]

Like, that sounds like a unique type of strip club experience that you could find in Portland.

[Blessing]

That sounds like we're gonna sing a lot of Will Smith together. Some men in black into some wild, wild west.

[Barrett]

You were requesting Will Smith? Men in Black. Oh, at the strip club with strippers.

[Blessing]

Yeah, because we're gonna do the dance. We're gonna do the dance and everything.

[Mike]

Now it's time for kind of fighting dot com, you're wrong. Rewrite in. Let us know what we got wrong as we got it wrong so we can correct it for those watching later on YouTube and listening later on podcast services around the globe. Okay, guys, multiple people are writing in saying Goofy is technically a cow slash bull in his ear. At least in his early.

[Blessing]

Oh, he's a cow slash bull.

[Mike]

Yeah. Mickey, right?

[Blessing]

Not a dog.

[Barrett]

This person named Mickey writes in and says, goo cow.

[Blessing]

Now we're learning things.

[Mike]

But I don't. No, I don't think that's real though.

[Bear]

No.

[Blessing]

Cuz Pete, his buddy.

[Mike]

Uhhuh.

[Blessing]

Doesn't look like a cow. Looks more cat. They're all.

[Mike]

They're all dogs. Pretty sure they're dogs.

[Blessing]

You know what, we should probably go to Disney World and find out.

[Barrett]

All right, let's do it.

[Blessing]

We should probably go investig.

[Barrett]

Let's go to Portland. Let's hit up Devil's Point, do some karaoke, do some.

[Mike]

Come back down to la.

[Barrett]

Honestly, I can't even tell what Goofy.

[Mike]

Is in this image that Berries brought up.

[Bear]

But then, like, if we let a cow.

[Blessing]

That's very dark.

[Bear]

Early Disney cartoons, you know, See, like there's a bit more of a prominent.

[Blessing]

Just a nose.

[Bear]

It's the nose.

[Blessing]

The nose. Because it's got the snout. They're sharing similar snouts there.

[Mike]

Yeah, I mean, that's the nose.

[Blessing]

Yeah, it is the nose.

[Barrett]

That's early Goofy again. We're pulling up Goofy's old tweets.

[Blessing]

Yeah, we can't be pulling up Goofy's old tweets. What are the three animated cows down there? What movie is that from?

[Mike]

Cow movie.

[Bear]

Look back at Disney's cow movie.

[Blessing]

I don't know about that. I don't remember account.

[Bear]

I vaguely remember this.

[Mike]

Yeah, that looks familiar, but I don't know name on that. As we're looking that up. We got one more year wrong from Hamaguchi.
