[SPEAKER_00]: Welcome to the CFT Gamecast episode number 279 a weekly podcast grab by gaming distributors I like to discuss the latest topics from the previous week.

[SPEAKER_00]: I am Mr. CFG Games from Self-Daver Screen and with me today, I got my two awesome co-hosts.

[SPEAKER_00]: I got pop in the second seat.

[SPEAKER_00]: How are you doing, pop?

[SPEAKER_02]: I'm doing great.

[SPEAKER_02]: Time is winding down as my trip to San Diego,

[SPEAKER_02]: a passport coming in soon and I think it's funny how I've got my passport quicker than a real ID.

[SPEAKER_02]: I know some other states aren't going or cities aren't going through the same thing, but my area has a DMV workers shortage, so the DMV is not always open because they do not have that workers to keep it crazy.

[SPEAKER_00]: It is it is really if I want to get it always I hope it like this.

[SPEAKER_00]: They're like a sign that just front that that says hey We're just not feeling it today.

[SPEAKER_02]: We just got a They have like a let's get you with their hours.

[SPEAKER_02]: So it's it's it's not mess.

[SPEAKER_02]: Anyway Passport will be here and I want to throw you about a real ID because passport over real ID You

[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, listen, my mom's license expired and we don't know what she's about to do.

[SPEAKER_02]: Although it's getting an appointment there.

[SPEAKER_02]: I think it's like a three to five month away.

[SPEAKER_02]: Maybe even six months.

[SPEAKER_02]: It the wait time is pretty terrible.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yes.

[SPEAKER_02]: horrible.

[SPEAKER_00]: It's like that over here.

[SPEAKER_00]: Like I took it took me seven like my my license expired in March.

[SPEAKER_00]: I thought I was going.

[SPEAKER_00]: I was doing the right thing and then I tried to reserve Because the only way they do they allow you to get your licenses is through appointment and I thought okay, let me get an appointment and I'll be good I'll just come and get it before my birthday.

[SPEAKER_00]: I had to wait seven months

[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, my goodness.

[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I know one time.

[SPEAKER_02]: I went to it was something that I signed up to do and they were like All we can't take you, but we we set you up and I'll point in at another D in V in a D in V's like an hour away from my house.

[SPEAKER_01]: So oh my goodness

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, yeah, I told them like they said the same thing.

[SPEAKER_00]: They said the same exact thing that they said they if you want to find if you want to get your license faster It's probably better for you to go to a different DMV And then I'm saying and I told them listen if y'all though if y'all aren't serious about me getting my license today I'm not serious about going in an hour away at my time just to get my driver's license So I'm just gonna write it and I did I wrote that I didn't I I wrote I drove with the expired license I got pulled over once

[SPEAKER_00]: I told the cops straight up what happened, and then they were like, okay, you're good to go.

[SPEAKER_02]: So yeah, I don't think it's like the city I'm in, but I think it's like statewide here, where some DMV, like in that smaller DMVs, they're just going through it.

[SPEAKER_02]: And they said that

[SPEAKER_02]: If your license expires because of the wait time, you get to use your expire at license or like, of to a year or two years, something like that.

[SPEAKER_02]: I'm like, that's even being passed.

[SPEAKER_01]: Like, didn't that kind of look at the purpose?

[SPEAKER_00]: Exactly, it's irritating.

[SPEAKER_00]: It's so bad.

[SPEAKER_00]: It's like, you know what?

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, because like I am not I'm not going to do because I remember when I first came in to the state It's like I literally had to stay in line for four hours just to get my just to get my license and that was crazy Well, yeah, and to say that is the good was was better than what I had to experience now is what's scary to me So whatever.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, yeah, anyways.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it kind of

[SPEAKER_00]: As you can tell, I'm really salty about it and I'm pretty sure you are just a salty about it, at least you've got to get your passport though, so that that's true.

[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I just didn't want to do it.

[SPEAKER_02]: I had flashbacks when I had to renew my state ID and I'm just like, I'm not, I'm not, no, we're not doing this.

[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, yeah, you can't, and you can't fly without a real ID, right?

[SPEAKER_00]: So I love that.

[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.

[SPEAKER_00]: That's good.

[SPEAKER_00]: At least you get, yeah, get an all time.

[SPEAKER_00]: Good deal.

[SPEAKER_02]: So I'll excited that, you know, DMV whores aside.

[SPEAKER_02]: I've been doing some speed run prep.

[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, one of the videos ready for the qualms event that's going on in December, but black and a flash at GDQ.

[SPEAKER_02]: and doing some blaze boot and to be a fact.

[SPEAKER_02]: I was going to do two FGC based emissions, but the way the time limit is looking it might be better if I wait to do the virtual fighter thing until

[SPEAKER_02]: In February versus trying to cram all the stuff for December.

[SPEAKER_02]: So December.

[SPEAKER_02]: It'll just be strives 50 stages in 35 minutes and survive.

[SPEAKER_00]: Oh my god.

[SPEAKER_00]: Jesus.

[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.

[SPEAKER_00]: My god.

[SPEAKER_00]: That is wild.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_00]: Are you going to try to ever again to do GDQ like one of them for GDQ?

[SPEAKER_02]: Like the main stage events.

[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_00]: The main stage events.

[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know.

[SPEAKER_02]: I think it's because the things I typically run don't typically make it to the main stage.

[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know.

[SPEAKER_00]: There's a lot of weird games that they put on the main stage, though.

[SPEAKER_00]: There are.

[SPEAKER_02]: I feel like it's one of those things where I have to, you know, experiment with the vibes.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, just try it because I mean, it's seven days.

[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, there's no way that all those games are bangers are crazy.

[SPEAKER_00]: Right.

[SPEAKER_00]: So, you know, you should at least try to shoot the shot at least.

[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, you still always have the one that you do now, but you should definitely try to go for the main one, at least once or twice or whatever.

[SPEAKER_02]: If anything, closest I'll probably get as being on someone's couch and doing commentary, which I 100% don't mind doing.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, so that would be tight.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, yeah, she definitely go for that.

[SPEAKER_00]: That's where there's some folks if you listen to the big pop go the GDQ.

[SPEAKER_01]: Which has to be nice.

[SPEAKER_01]: Make pop go the job and talk to you.

[SPEAKER_00]: Has to pop that GDQ 2026.

[SPEAKER_00]: That's what it is.

[SPEAKER_00]: There you go.

[SPEAKER_00]: That's what's going to happen.

[SPEAKER_00]: It's now it's not out meat there.

[SPEAKER_00]: So, but hey, but you know what pop.

[SPEAKER_00]: What?

[SPEAKER_00]: You know, the person that should really be playing 2xKO right now, instead of being on the podcast as we speak.

[SPEAKER_00]: Who?

[SPEAKER_00]: The five star general of the Eddie, Bitty.

[SPEAKER_00]: It's me, the committee.

[SPEAKER_00]: I got spending the third seat.

[SPEAKER_00]: What's going on, my dude?

[SPEAKER_01]: It has been busy.

[SPEAKER_01]: Like, uh, who was it?

[SPEAKER_01]: Was it, uh, seven figures talking, I haven't streamed in a grip.

[SPEAKER_01]: It's been at least.

[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know, probably three weeks.

[SPEAKER_01]: But to be fair, Scorp Kitty, my partner, she just had surgery.

[SPEAKER_01]: So her set mom, saying with us, she's like down in the living room.

[SPEAKER_01]: So we've been taken care of her.

[SPEAKER_01]: And actually, it's official now.

[SPEAKER_01]: I actually got a promotion at work.

[SPEAKER_01]: So I went from a senior technical producer to one of the production managers.

[SPEAKER_01]: uh, there's two of us.

[SPEAKER_01]: So I'm kind of getting acquainted with that stuff and what that new role looks like and all that.

[SPEAKER_01]: So it's been busy.

[SPEAKER_01]: I trust me.

[SPEAKER_01]: I thought about it.

[SPEAKER_01]: I was like, did I really got to get a streaming?

[SPEAKER_01]: I just have not been able to have the time getting up at six to get the little, you know, up and ready and then taking the little in and then going to work.

[SPEAKER_01]: I'm like, one of the days I had to work till 11.

[SPEAKER_01]: Like, it's just been like my schedule's been bouncing around

[SPEAKER_01]: for other people.

[SPEAKER_01]: So it is, it has been a lot, but I promise we will dial back in.

[SPEAKER_01]: We will get streams going.

[SPEAKER_01]: I got a ton of games that I'm playing on the side and whatnot as well.

[SPEAKER_01]: No stream shit.

[SPEAKER_02]: At this point, it's not rewarding your gameplay.

[SPEAKER_01]: Exactly.

[SPEAKER_01]: That does, we'll make a YouTube series out of it.

[SPEAKER_00]: It's retired from streaming live just now in the official content creator on YouTube.

[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, yeah, that's what that's what it is now.

[SPEAKER_01]: That's the thing.

[SPEAKER_01]: So we will.

[SPEAKER_01]: I promise I will get back to streaming.

[SPEAKER_01]: It's just been a lot these next few weeks are going to still, you know, because she's down for like six weeks.

[SPEAKER_01]: So you know, my mom's coming out as well to help out.

[SPEAKER_01]: I'm going to take some time off to you.

[SPEAKER_01]: But obviously, that makes it more difficult now that I'm in this new position.

[SPEAKER_01]: So like

[SPEAKER_01]: doing the best we can, but I am enjoying I am enjoying border lands for that's been fantastic a little bit when I've been too tired to play it a little bit I've played up and enjoying that.

[SPEAKER_01]: I have not been having all the issues that have been reported when I although I have noticed some some frame drops and stuff like that.

[SPEAKER_01]: Another game

[SPEAKER_01]: I need a double check to make sure I can actually like stream that and whatnot, but it's a really fun game.

[SPEAKER_01]: Reminds me kind of like risk-a-rain, too, but you know, you swap out body parts to have different, like, you know, bones.

[SPEAKER_00]: You just don't think about that one.

[SPEAKER_00]: You should make something on that because like, I actually did an interview.

[SPEAKER_01]: I'm working on an interview.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, okay.

[SPEAKER_00]: Cool.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_00]: No, no.

[SPEAKER_01]: There's content coming.

[SPEAKER_00]: That'd be pretty cool because I was like, they could like, I remember that.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_00]: You said you were saying a lot of good stuff about when when when when you saw that pack.

[SPEAKER_01]: So I figured I didn't realize I'll finally catch it up on emails follow up emails.

[SPEAKER_01]: And they were one man sent me a key over to play.

[SPEAKER_01]: And I didn't even realize it.

[SPEAKER_01]: I was like, oh, yes, dude.

[SPEAKER_01]: So I finally, I hopped on that.

[SPEAKER_01]: I also found that the team over at Tarkov had hit me up as well.

[SPEAKER_01]: So I think they're going to hook me up.

[SPEAKER_01]: And I think I may be able to get a couple extra keys as well to be able to give away for that version 1.0.

[SPEAKER_01]: So we got some things cooking.

[SPEAKER_01]: No, I didn't come out until I don't want to say because I can't remember if they I see it.

[SPEAKER_00]: Let's just say it's not out yet, that's not what it's not out yet, but it's coming out this fall.

[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.

[SPEAKER_01]: Cash tag opinion.

[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_01]: I was like, you know what, I don't know that that dates out actually, so let you go and check my face.

[SPEAKER_00]: Hashtag pending hashtag.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_00]: Pop it.

[SPEAKER_02]: I actually didn't know it was coming, right?

[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, what about you, David, as you were coming?

[SPEAKER_00]: Uh, it's, no, it's, as always, it's, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh

[SPEAKER_01]: was wondering if you wanted me to do a video or not.

[SPEAKER_01]: I know that we wanted to crank out that article.

[SPEAKER_01]: It's something that I could do after the fact I wouldn't sure or whatever, but yeah, I figured we wanted to get that article out.

[SPEAKER_01]: It's just possible.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, so no, that was good.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, no, it's good.

[SPEAKER_00]: It's good.

[SPEAKER_00]: But no, because you know, it's kind of funny because like now it's just like two weeks in on playing, especially when it's playing with the

[SPEAKER_00]: Dragon Ball Z Dragon Ball.

[SPEAKER_00]: Basically that's the game because I've been only playing out that controller was Dragon Ball But like now the feel and the difference because I literally have it side by side between the revolution five and then the and then the Victrix because I play consoles for streaming is right in front of me and then my PC wants right next to me And as I've just been playing both of them side by side, and now I'm feeling like

[SPEAKER_00]: it's the Victorix is feeling a little bit better to me right now because of how compact it is, like how a little bit more curved it is.

[SPEAKER_01]: Interesting because it's the Xbox one hurts my hand a little bit because the house model it is.

[SPEAKER_00]: Really moke.

[SPEAKER_00]: Well, yeah, I think the problem is the paddles it's like I think the paddles on the on the revolution is weird because it's flat like these

[SPEAKER_00]: But the ones on this one, they're more defined and I do like that.

[SPEAKER_00]: And that makes it feel a little bit better.

[SPEAKER_00]: And I don't, I mean, there are times I accidentally press it, but I don't have a person.

[SPEAKER_00]: I started off the program.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I turned them off because I was like, now I can't do that.

[SPEAKER_00]: I can't do that.

[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I keep doing it where I'm hitting a wrong button or something.

[SPEAKER_01]: I'm like, accidentally smashing things on the back.

[SPEAKER_01]: And I'm like, no.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, yeah, yeah, so so doing that then I also got a key from on Gungho games or Gungho media for the trails of trails of the sky remake that they they that was released last week, so I've been playing that a little bit Man, well that RPG so much dude.

[SPEAKER_00]: It's just such a good RPG

[SPEAKER_00]: So, okay, wait till I finish it up, and then I'll be able to give a good, a good, a good, good, good, good, good, good review on it.

[SPEAKER_00]: My expectations.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I've been doing, and I've been checking out some, what's it called?

[SPEAKER_00]: I forgot what was called.

[SPEAKER_00]: It's the name of that stupid game.

[SPEAKER_00]: I was just playing.

[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball.

[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, so like two lanes and then you just there's just all all hell break and lose.

[SPEAKER_00]: So, so next week is going to be the official release of their first season.

[SPEAKER_00]: So that they did a video thing and they also, oh, by the way, if you haven't, if you didn't know this, maybe if you go check their video on YouTube, there's a, uh, there's a code at the end of the video that you can put in to get some free stuff.

[SPEAKER_00]: Uh, so free stuff there.

[SPEAKER_00]: So yeah, so it's not too late.

[SPEAKER_00]: You just, okay, you are code.

[SPEAKER_00]: But yeah, so they announced the three new characters that they're going to be announcing.

[SPEAKER_00]: They said that the new season's going to be two months long and they're going to be adding their the first of the three characters that they're adding is super saying three Goku, which comes out this week.

[SPEAKER_00]: can't wait for that.

[SPEAKER_00]: This will be ridiculous.

[SPEAKER_00]: Then topo from Dragon Ball Super is going to be the tank that they're adding and then they're going to be adding go tanks as the technical that's coming in that's coming in sometime within the next two months.

[SPEAKER_00]: So I am so hyped for it.

[SPEAKER_00]: Not usually a big DPS fan, but I'm willing to try it with the Super Saiyan level three go because usually don't play that character in a lot of video games.

[SPEAKER_00]: So

[SPEAKER_00]: So, yeah, like he's usually like a super, like I remember in Boothakai 3, he was a super, a super move, but then you weren't never in that mode, I don't, I don't believe.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, but he was.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, so, but now, good game, good game.

[SPEAKER_00]: Definitely try it out if you like, if you like Dragon Ball, not gonna be disappointed, unless you love it.

[SPEAKER_00]: I love it about this.

[SPEAKER_00]: I'll just care about the servers, which I do.

[SPEAKER_00]: So there you go.

[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, that is, that is something that's annoying, because you'll get kicked in the middle of the game.

[SPEAKER_01]: You'll derank and stuff because of it.

[SPEAKER_01]: Not only that, but then when you're kicked, you can't get into another game, because you have to wait for the other game that you were kicked from to get finished, and you cannot reconnect.

[SPEAKER_00]: That's the dumbness of it on that's a dumbness of you knowing it makes it really annoying and frustrating until the other stand, but

[SPEAKER_00]: Anyways, I know y'all don't want to talk about or listen to us gripe about servers and issues with Dragon Ball as well as play the game.

[SPEAKER_00]: Hey, such as you.

[SPEAKER_00]: So let's go through the normal rigor mode that we like to do each and every week.

[SPEAKER_00]: So each of us chooses a topic or discussion in the world of video games, a topic would or could be a game itself or something

[SPEAKER_00]: happen in the gaming industry and we do not want to talk about amongst ourselves.

[SPEAKER_00]: We want you the listeners and viewers on Twitch and on YouTube to be a part of the conversation as always.

[SPEAKER_00]: So if there is something you're wanting to chime in or talk about on whatever topic that we say, well, I'll be stepping inside the chat.

[SPEAKER_00]: We will discuss with you and go from there.

[SPEAKER_00]: So pop.

[SPEAKER_00]: What are you bringing to the table?

[SPEAKER_02]: Well, we've got some games coming out this week, but our main focus is Sonic Racing Cross Worlds.

[SPEAKER_02]: Now you might be wondering, pop, Hades 2 comes out on Thursday, pop.

[SPEAKER_02]: Now their games have been or dropping this week.

[SPEAKER_02]: Why are you bringing up Sonic again?

[SPEAKER_02]: Because Sega has come back to an older generation of their beef with Nintendo or rivalry, whatever you want to call it.

[SPEAKER_02]: it's really funny to see the new trailer.

[SPEAKER_02]: I think Davis has a clip.

[SPEAKER_02]: It's best to watch before I really dig into what's coming with this game and it's released.

[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, I already, well, I'll move it over to the the three panel one.

[SPEAKER_00]: So it's gone, there's a little bit of it the way, so but you can keep on going about it.

[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, yeah, I just want them to hear the lines at the beginning.

[SPEAKER_02]: You all know about that other cart cart racer or, you know, or right on the old road.

[SPEAKER_02]: You

[SPEAKER_00]: And we'll have no idea the stories of copyrights that we get because I'm sure that it's true.

[SPEAKER_00]: So I got to hear that and I took it out, I'll put it away.

[SPEAKER_00]: This is safe.

[SPEAKER_00]: I'll put the link and then and said, I don't even have a set up to do it, so I'll put the link right here for it for anyone to go see it, but, but yeah, but basically, well, why I heard it would sound that I was just like, oh, man.

[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, so as many, if you ever heard it would sound yet, you're going to have to hear it at some point because it's, it's very funny on it.

[SPEAKER_02]: they did release some information such as monthly updates.

[SPEAKER_02]: I know last time we talked about the open network test and we were kind of concerned about, you know, what they were going to do with the upkeep of the game.

[SPEAKER_02]: But with monthly updates, I think that's a pretty strong start of ensuring that the game is constantly supported that gives them time to fix any bugs that might come up since, you know, this is.

[SPEAKER_02]: pretty much a service game at this point with the different events and stuff that they're going to have throughout the game.

[SPEAKER_02]: The free characters won't be available right away.

[SPEAKER_02]: I think only how cloning mid-Sune is available day one and the others will be released monthly around the same time as the DLC characters.

[SPEAKER_02]: So if you're not paying for any of the DLC,

[SPEAKER_02]: And only interested in the free DLC characters for it not, you will not be left out when an update comes out.

[SPEAKER_02]: I did get a chance to play the demo in some of the stuff transfer over and from the offline alone, because I did play offline when the network test came out because there was some moments where I would get kicked out of lobbyes because I honestly too many people were just on the game and I think those servers just got a little cramped.

[SPEAKER_02]: The game fills incredibly smooth.

[SPEAKER_02]: The fills amazing, they definitely took everything that was all the feedback from the open network test and the closed beta into account and added that into the game.

[SPEAKER_02]: But I wanted to know, you know, you guys thought now that we know that the game's getting monthly updates, this includes the tracks and things that are tracks and music that's coming with these characters.

[SPEAKER_00]: Um, well, I know I'm going, this is going to be my, you know, it's funny.

[SPEAKER_00]: A fun fact.

[SPEAKER_00]: This is going to be my first Sonic race in game out.

[SPEAKER_00]: I, I'm openly wanting to pick up.

[SPEAKER_00]: I have never played any of the other ones and I've seen them.

[SPEAKER_00]: And then it's like, oh, it just looks like it didn't catch my interest, but after like watching a lot of people playing it and then seeing like what you can do in this, I think that

[SPEAKER_00]: But if I mean, I just from what I've seen, it looks so much better, so much fun, like so much more than what Warner Kart worlds gave us.

[SPEAKER_00]: And I personally just wanted to give it a shot and try, it caught my interest, in other words.

[SPEAKER_00]: uh the fact that they're doing this the bring back the old school Sega welcome to the next stage next level commercial to advertise on it.

[SPEAKER_00]: I love that they're bringing back that nostalgia to the kind of show off with with Nintendo.

[SPEAKER_00]: But I also it kind of sucks that now that they have to blur out the image.

[SPEAKER_00]: of the of the RV because they don't want to get there for the getting sued is just it's wild to be but it's just funny that that's what we're at right now when it comes to like you know competition it's like because they know that people they don't want to get money grabbing hands or anything into you know.

[SPEAKER_00]: And he like chance of being sued, but yeah, it looks no, it looks like a fun.

[SPEAKER_00]: It looks really fun.

[SPEAKER_00]: I guess the real thing is like the biggest thing I was worried about is Like what's MIDI usually is worried about for most things is if they what they're overall plan of execution is for for the long run for the for the game.

[SPEAKER_00]: It's just

[SPEAKER_00]: Like, the fact that I think they're doing everything right on this, the fact that they're listening to the review, the people's feedback from what they gave on the two betas, the two or three betas that they did for this and, and they're not pushing heavily like to just say, okay, we're just going to make a, to make it, like it, it's, it's given its own identity a lot more than what I've ever seen to ever do before and it's throughout its time.

[SPEAKER_00]: And I think that this is what, and I think this is the right move that they're going to do.

[SPEAKER_00]: And then plus, just seeing how many people are reserving this are pre or like, you know, on steam alone, and all these other things, it's a pretty good sign.

[SPEAKER_00]: And there's also early reviews that have already been officially out on like, you know, other game websites and stuff, and they're giving it a pretty pretty, some of them higher higher scores than what my world is, my current world is.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_00]: It just is silly.

[SPEAKER_02]: You went on that Smitty over in Japan, the Nintendo Switch 1 and 2 pre-orders alone are for this game, they're in fifth place, and Sonic has a very long history in Japan of not being very popular, so do what that information with you will.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, and no, I'm sorry for before you guys, but I was going to say to the thing that blue sheet blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, sorry on YouTube.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, bless you, boo.

[SPEAKER_00]: You know who that is?

[SPEAKER_01]: No, no, I don't.

[SPEAKER_01]: That's what I was going to say.

[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, my bad.

[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, I was going to say, yeah, he says, it's a lot more hectic and always leaves you wanting wanting to play more.

[SPEAKER_00]: That's exactly.

[SPEAKER_00]: the mentality that I want for a kart racing game.

[SPEAKER_00]: Like, that's what makes it fun with these kart games.

[SPEAKER_00]: It's like it's not a racing game.

[SPEAKER_00]: It's just playing with your friends.

[SPEAKER_00]: And then you're just, the mayhem is break.

[SPEAKER_00]: It's just all hell's breaking loose.

[SPEAKER_00]: And I think that they've done the mixture of different cross of the different stages, mixed with all the crazy power ups.

[SPEAKER_00]: And basically, for this way to describe it,

[SPEAKER_00]: seizure inducing moments with all the crazy lights and stuff that flexing before your eyes is just seems like they found the way they found the good way and the good balance for it.

[SPEAKER_02]: I also want to add to the, I just thought about this with the going back to the walk into the next level.

[SPEAKER_02]: We are currently in an era where we're starting to see some SEGA franchises revive that started in that era.

[SPEAKER_02]: So there's sort of like this double play with what they're doing with the

[SPEAKER_02]: on top of promoting the game so they're not even just alluding to you know how confident they are in sonic racing crossroads but how confident they are in their products as a company moving you know going forward mm-hmm yeah I totally agree I totally agree I was pretty what what what would you have to say?

[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, they're definitely moving with some swagger for sure.

[SPEAKER_01]: You can, you could tell.

[SPEAKER_01]: You feel it.

[SPEAKER_01]: You know, this really wasn't something that I had really been curiously looked at.

[SPEAKER_01]: Nothing, you know, again, nothing against, I'm in the same boat as Davis, where I just haven't, I haven't played.

[SPEAKER_01]: any of these games before so I'm not I'm not very familiar with them um but just from the little bit that I've seen watching people play the customization and again people saying you know I especially from a cart racer I want something that I can't put down something that I want to keep playing games it's like Dragon Ball uh again yeah what's it what's it what's it what's it

[SPEAKER_01]: squadra.

[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, like it's so easy just to hop in the games and the games are so fast, you know, like, I just don't want to top play and I find myself playing for hours and hours.

[SPEAKER_01]: I love that out of the game.

[SPEAKER_01]: So this might do you know how much does this cost out the game like 40 bucks.

[SPEAKER_02]: Thanks.

[SPEAKER_01]: I think it's the same.

[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, 70.

[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, you didn't say, oh, shit.

[SPEAKER_00]: Well, we find with the $8.00 supermarket.

[SPEAKER_00]: I know.

[SPEAKER_00]: I know.

[SPEAKER_02]: Because Sega's typically doesn't go for that price range.

[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_01]: It was more of a shot.

[SPEAKER_01]: I thought, like, notice how I instantly went to $40.

[SPEAKER_01]: That was the pricing model here.

[SPEAKER_01]: And certainly I'm wrong.

[SPEAKER_00]: It was like, oh, it's something.

[SPEAKER_00]: So how much does this other game of $30 and change?

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_00]: early to have a road man.

[SPEAKER_01]: They just play as a continues supporting the right, right.

[SPEAKER_01]: So yeah, no, it is, and you're right.

[SPEAKER_01]: It is shocking.

[SPEAKER_01]: It's one of those things through it's like, all right, it seems like they're legitimately putting time and effort into making this a solid game and to continue it, support, moving forward.

[SPEAKER_01]: I can get behind that.

[SPEAKER_01]: So

[SPEAKER_01]: Again, I'm this for me is a wait and see.

[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not going to get a day one.

[SPEAKER_01]: I know there's a ton of other good games that are coming out and just comparatively to how much I play Mario Kart, which has been barely at this point.

[SPEAKER_01]: Like I haven't played it in a grip.

[SPEAKER_00]: You know, I don't think that it's a matter of that like with Mario Kart that it's a matter that you just that you still have time I personally think that game is it was overrated personally like the way the game is like it's it's a good game.

[SPEAKER_00]: It's a fun game

[SPEAKER_00]: But then now, but you get to a point to get to that weird loop of like, okay, it's gonna be the same, it's the same BS kind of stuff.

[SPEAKER_00]: You know, it's gonna, and I think that's your over it.

[SPEAKER_00]: And that's, that's where it was for me when I played it for like two, three weeks straight and I was done.

[SPEAKER_01]: I enjoy racing online and doing this stuff online, but like,

[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I always get to that burnout point where I'm playing against the CPUs and like, I don't know if you've played Mario Kart, but they cheat the higher level you get.

[SPEAKER_01]: I swear they cheat the game cheats against you.

[SPEAKER_01]: They make it so difficult.

[SPEAKER_01]: It's annoying.

[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, it's your mother.

[SPEAKER_01]: You'll be sitting there trying to get first and everything, yeah.

[SPEAKER_01]: And you can't because of one supician antigan play and it completely ruins the run.

[SPEAKER_01]: You got to start over.

[SPEAKER_01]: That starts to burn me out.

[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, you know, that swirls is different in a way that it doesn't matter what it's all skill like the CPUs can bombard you with and even real players can bombard you with whatever they have like I don't think you ran here yet, but there's a map and cross worlds that shall not be named because

[SPEAKER_02]: I hate that track.

[SPEAKER_02]: It's sort of like the excite bite of this game.

[SPEAKER_02]: We had to know.

[SPEAKER_02]: If I had to give a Mario Kart equivalent, it's like the excite bite.

[SPEAKER_02]: People would use Marston tracks at the very beginning, run people over.

[SPEAKER_02]: But then they would still come dead last, or whatever, because they just didn't know how to drive or drift.

[SPEAKER_02]: So they're in driving skills, so they could

[SPEAKER_02]: It's been matter if they ran people over at the very beginning to try and get ahead.

[SPEAKER_02]: They're driving skills, couldn't help them keep up with the items that they had.

[SPEAKER_02]: So that's one of the things that I do like about crossroads because in Barnett Card, at least when I played MK8, like it seemed like no matter what happened.

[SPEAKER_02]: If an item hit you, it was the end.

[SPEAKER_02]: It's been a long time.

[SPEAKER_00]: You know, it's worse.

[SPEAKER_00]: It's like, I don't know.

[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.

[SPEAKER_00]: So here's a question for you pops that you've been playing this now.

[SPEAKER_00]: Does, does it do the same thing as what Mario Kart is that if you're in, if you're up ahead of the group, if you're, your, your, your, your, your chances of getting the good stuff is very low.

[SPEAKER_00]: Like, because like usually like that's a different picture.

[SPEAKER_02]: You can change your kit.

[SPEAKER_02]: So the gadgets, you can add different gadgets for certain items to appear.

[SPEAKER_02]: So like I like to get defense items to appear because as a power user like why do you like the acceleration on the power and extreme gear.

[SPEAKER_02]: types uh people like to use their items at the last second where you're about to cross the finish line and if I have a defensive item ready to go I'm not gonna you know I'm not gonna get hit there's another versus like more attack items appear frequently or more boost items appear frequently so you can build

[SPEAKER_02]: uh you can pretty much build how you're placed out however you want so if you want to if you're like me and you want to play it smart and say if you can get defense items if you're also like me and feel like causing problems for everyone in the lobby because they didn't pick the map that you wanted to go to

[SPEAKER_02]: You can pick nothing but attack items so it's just, but they do have a system where like if you're in if you're in the later places because the monster truck issue wasn't issue in the close beta where it didn't matter where you were, you would get it and it just, I will admit it, it killed the, the

[SPEAKER_02]: with the open network tests, what they changed was, I think as you have to be in like the last four or three places, they give it to you to try and give you a little boost.

[SPEAKER_02]: But once again, if you don't know what you're doing that, this will only do so much.

[SPEAKER_02]: Well, you know, it's it's it's it's completely varied based on on your build.

[SPEAKER_02]: So if you have a decent

[SPEAKER_00]: All I could say is that I think Spidey should you should definitely try playing that game because that sounds like a game that you would probably enjoy if you like I think I need to try it.

[SPEAKER_01]: I you know what I mean like I think I need to get hands on with it to fully understand.

[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, just to demo the demos up and whatever you do in the demo will transfer over if you do decide to by the game.

[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, okay, I like that.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, definitely try that out, man, because like that's like that seems like something that like I think this is exactly that has everything That you'd like to play about the cart Rick.

[SPEAKER_00]: Well, I know you specifically like Mario Kart because you grew up with Mario Kart, but I think Try I think this is this would be a great opportunity to see what the other what's on the other side of different kinds of cart racing especially

[SPEAKER_02]: like the thought there's not like that that list is very limited very small and I don't know if you if you've ever played sonic writers but the ratings for this game is higher than sonic writers and that's as a lot.

[SPEAKER_02]: I never played any the only other card game that I played in the credit for this game is higher than sonic writers.

[SPEAKER_00]: That's what our writers was a flop.

[SPEAKER_02]: No, it's one of the community's more beloved.

[SPEAKER_02]: Team Sonic recent is probably the one you're thinking about, which both players and critics have agreed to the game kind of sucks.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, dude, this week is going to be crazy.

[SPEAKER_00]: I didn't even think about that, you're right.

[SPEAKER_00]: Because you said, like, we said, hey, these two is coming out.

[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I totally forgot about that.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, some of it, Hill, F is coming out this week.

[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, my goodness, that's right.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, this is like, I didn't even think about all that, but wow, it's going to be well.

[SPEAKER_01]: We're getting into that time.

[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, we're getting into that time where the fall release windows opening up.

[SPEAKER_01]: We're going to be getting some fire, some fire games coming out.

[SPEAKER_00]: I just cannot wait to see the numbers that this game is going to generate.

[SPEAKER_00]: Hopefully it gets over a million after this week.

[SPEAKER_00]: That's what I'm, that's my hope for it.

[SPEAKER_00]: Because if it does show that it shows like the demand of it to be this high because like I'm going to get it But I'm not but like I'm getting physical.

[SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to get a physical copy of it, but so unfortunately They are going to have a physical copy of it.

[SPEAKER_00]: I'm getting on the switch to because I don't really Care for the graphics per se for like you know for this game I come on at an unportable anyways

[SPEAKER_00]: But I was one get on the switch to and then switch to's kiddo.

[SPEAKER_00]: I think was the late because originally they were going to put it on as a game key card.

[SPEAKER_00]: But then they were like, they re-neged on that and they said they're going to get the full game on the key card.

[SPEAKER_00]: But it's going to take time.

[SPEAKER_00]: This is taking time.

[SPEAKER_00]: It's going to come in until January 26, 26 for it.

[SPEAKER_02]: I think the reason they backed that on that was because during the closed beta people were talking about that and once again That's just they listen to the community.

[SPEAKER_00]: Hey, listen to people.

[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think it's just that I think it's also the fact that they were I mean they saw the sales that they got for the yakuza

[SPEAKER_00]: the york is a zero, uh, the director's cover with ever and I can only imagine people were pissed off.

[SPEAKER_00]: That's like a discounted less than a month after a game came out.

[SPEAKER_00]: It was a, well, that was for two bucks, man.

[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, yeah, they, they, they, I think that they are if the, that I believe Sega is legitimately afraid of game key cards.

[SPEAKER_00]: And that's why they're, they're changing their, they're outlawed for it.

[SPEAKER_02]: That's, that's what happened with the director's cut.

[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, yeah, they're probably like, oh, wow, we had horrible sales because I think the number one sale for that game key card was was the number one sale for physical release.

[SPEAKER_00]: I guess all like other cards that the game that had cards key cards with no key cards was a cyber was cyberpunk 277.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, yeah, but that had the game on the card, but like yeah, so it's a mess dude.

[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know what's gonna happen, but

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, well, we'll see, but I can't wait to see what, well, and you've already, you've been playing, so you already have an idea of how this game is going to play like, but I can't wait to get your overview once you have the full access to it.

[SPEAKER_00]: So it's going to be a polish.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, the full polish.

[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, ask me tomorrow.

[SPEAKER_02]: I did, I did get a key.

[SPEAKER_02]: Sega told me happy birthday.

[SPEAKER_02]: It didn't actually write me happy birthday.

[SPEAKER_02]: He just felt like I were telling me happy birthday because my birthday is next week.

[SPEAKER_02]: So yeah, yeah, it's next Monday.

[SPEAKER_00]: Very nice.

[SPEAKER_00]: Very nice.

[SPEAKER_00]: So that's cool.

[SPEAKER_00]: That's awesome.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I can't wait to see it.

[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, you and she's and you're also going to be streaming it, right?

[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, this Friday for as part of like the pre birthday celebration.

[SPEAKER_02]: So if you want to come up in a lot of you feel free to stop by if we have room will take you.

[SPEAKER_02]: If not, um Get some clips so Smitty can can see.

[SPEAKER_00]: I know right.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, yeah, if there ever is you could do for you could do a rotation because I know there's a lot of people that play with you.

[SPEAKER_00]: So

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_00]: Good last place has to give up their spot.

[SPEAKER_00]: That's how it goes.

[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, that's not, yeah.

[SPEAKER_02]: Don't give me any ideas.

[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_00]: Place gives us a spot.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_00]: So there you go.

[SPEAKER_00]: Last week, it was a spot.

[SPEAKER_00]: Didn't then once you do that, just do hashtag poppin' GDQ2026.

[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, here we go.

[SPEAKER_00]: It is trending.

[SPEAKER_00]: Let's get it trending.

[SPEAKER_02]: Next topic is, it's time to get this movie.

[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.

[SPEAKER_02]: Just back to the song.

[SPEAKER_00]: All right, Smitty, what do you bring it to the table?

[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I had to talk about it because you're such a huge fan, got us a victory, Nikkei, the sci-fi RPG.

[SPEAKER_01]: Is that actually doing a crossover?

[SPEAKER_01]: I think this is the second time now that they've done a crossover.

[SPEAKER_00]: No, it's the first time.

[SPEAKER_00]: No, it's the fifth or sixth time.

[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, okay.

[SPEAKER_01]: Never mind, so they've done a lot.

[SPEAKER_01]: with the resident evil, but Ava or I'm sorry, Ava, what's your name?

[SPEAKER_01]: Jill Valentine's coming back with Ava Wong and Claire Revealed.

[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_01]: For this event, I couldn't find the name.

[SPEAKER_01]: I was like, I know the name and I've forgotten it.

[SPEAKER_01]: But they're doing a collaboration event and maybe I don't understand how their events work exactly.

[SPEAKER_01]: Is it something where like, I know that they're like, they have like locations, you know, and monsters and things like that, I believe, from Ari along with the characters.

[SPEAKER_01]: Do you get to keep the characters as part of your team or are they only available during the event?

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, so what it is, it's like a limited time only.

[SPEAKER_00]: So there's a thing called it.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, the characters are available for you to pull as characters.

[SPEAKER_00]: So you basically, with three characters, I'm assuming it's going to be either three or four week of it.

[SPEAKER_00]: I'm assuming it's going to be a three week of that.

[SPEAKER_00]: So during that three weeks, they every week, they released the they have a initial character.

[SPEAKER_00]: They released every week and then the now I'm sorry.

[SPEAKER_00]: Let me back up again.

[SPEAKER_00]: So with three characters that they're announcing odds are one of them is going to be a free character that you're going to get regardless, but then there's two characters that you're going to get that you're going to have to draw for with the endgame currency or you could just fly out paid for the currency to get the chance to pull for them.

[SPEAKER_00]: So yeah, so what you do is like so once you get it so once you so now and then for that limited time Within that three week time span you can get that you pull these characters The only time that you can get these characters is if they either rerun these crossover events, which is very which is fairly rare

[SPEAKER_00]: They did it only once with the Neon Genesis, Evan Galian, but usually once they do these cross-over events, they never come back.

[SPEAKER_00]: So yeah, so the only time you can get these characters is here, which is understandable, because that's what to get people in.

[SPEAKER_00]: Now the real question is, is this the right move for them?

[SPEAKER_00]: Because that's the

[SPEAKER_00]: That's the problem because the week don't give it rock.

[SPEAKER_00]: I like Nique and and but you can clearly see it's it's fan service.

[SPEAKER_00]: There's a lot of fan service for it itself and and don't let anyone say that otherwise because it is.

[SPEAKER_00]: But they but they've do a they have done an incredible job with their story mate their storytelling the gameplay loop and as the music everything to make you care for the series That's why there's such a committed fan base for it.

[SPEAKER_00]: I'm one of them.

[SPEAKER_00]: I love like because I was just thinking oh you just do it because you have

[SPEAKER_00]: like a pretty pretty girls shooting guns and some questionable poses.

[SPEAKER_00]: You know, so it's not, it's way more than that.

[SPEAKER_01]: It really is the more the legit game than it would look.

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, like literally the first thing, like if I swear to God, if anyone has ever gotten the chance to, if they want to open enough to try it, it's free to play game.

[SPEAKER_00]: It's to play like the first hour, and you'll see what I mean, because like the first hour, the story is like, wow dude.

[SPEAKER_00]: This like, freaking depressing and stuff, but it is incredible.

[SPEAKER_00]: Like it is an incredible start of the story as well as the stuff that they, that you could do in the background from it.

[SPEAKER_00]: So, uh,

[SPEAKER_00]: Now, but what that being said, people are pissed off about the characters of this one because because the problem is is that these people are not like the other characters that they are in the UK, like the character designs because they showed off how the characters are going to look like inside games.

[SPEAKER_00]: So a lot of people are like kind of shooting back on like saying this is not like what this isn't Nikkei at all and stuff like that, but then again, this is the internet and the internet's always like this So no booty, no no booty for them.

[SPEAKER_00]: Is that what it is?

[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, every community just has their set of purists.

[SPEAKER_00]: It really is.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it really is.

[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, and like I personally like I like do like I personally really don't care from the most part of for it now

[SPEAKER_00]: The one thing that I'm kind of on the fence on is like this dude this game is crazy.

[SPEAKER_00]: They do $60 gotchas, which is a which is basically all it is is a skin a look at everything like that and and I'm not a gotcha fan person per se.

[SPEAKER_00]: This is the only game I play that is gotcha.

[SPEAKER_00]: It itself, but I will never spend $60 for just as outfit and voice over itself as crazy itself, but they do it all the time.

[SPEAKER_00]: So they so people are really strong about the, like, strongly opinionated as well as they should be because they've just got a lot of money for this for some of these gotches, but man do it, but it.

[SPEAKER_00]: But the community really have strong feelings of how so many people look like there was characters where their feet don't look right and then they had them that then the developer read drew the to correct to correct it to make it look better so to satisfied.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it's a very strongly based community I will say, but no, but the game is good.

[SPEAKER_00]: The game is fun.

[SPEAKER_00]: I'm looking forward to the resident evil one.

[SPEAKER_00]: The problem is like the anniversary is about to come at the end of the month and the October and like you're so I'm trying to save as much as I possibly can, which I am good at saving.

[SPEAKER_00]: I think I have almost like 100,000 in game currency, so that's a lot of holes, but I am definitely looking forward to

[SPEAKER_00]: Like, I guess when you're all stakes, I know you don't play it, but when you're with you, with you, with you thing.

[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, I'm gonna hop into it at least because I still am working my way through the story and stuff like that.

[SPEAKER_01]: I haven't, again, I've said I've been playing my attention's been elsewhere, so I haven't played it in a while, but if you're telling me they got special abilities and they're limited time characters, like I wouldn't mind hopping at least getting the base free one.

[SPEAKER_01]: So I can, you know, have, have that.

[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, am I going to do any grinding on it?

[SPEAKER_01]: No.

[SPEAKER_01]: I won't do any grinding for the other characters, but I think it's worth the least going in getting the free character and maybe it'll get me back in to grinding that story out too.

[SPEAKER_00]: What we're over.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, you know like it's funny because like I will I play literally I play it's game literally every day.

[SPEAKER_00]: It only takes me 45 minutes.

[SPEAKER_00]: I play 45 minutes and then I'm down for the day for it For the for the day at least because I'm caught up on everything.

[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, so the problem is like once you there's a thing called the 160 wall Where you hit the level 160

[SPEAKER_00]: But once you have 160, you need to have five characters that are 100s at the same level.

[SPEAKER_00]: Sometimes it takes, well, when I was doing it, it took forever because it was in free characters, enough free characters for you to do it.

[SPEAKER_00]: But you have to get like a full, like your people have to be like full three star and everything just to get to that point and then you have to level them each all up to 160.

[SPEAKER_00]: You get stuck.

[SPEAKER_00]: It took me three months to get past that.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, yeah, it's not as rind it is and it's not even the grind the problem is is that that's 100% chance You need to get the same character.

[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, that's crazy.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, so that's the problem.

[SPEAKER_00]: That that was the problem So it's not that much of a problem anymore because there are so many free characters that they give you

[SPEAKER_00]: right still annoying it's still it's still there you know so yeah no but no I'm I'm keeping an open mind the one cool cool thing about these uh these crossover series is their stories that they do for the collab so uh there's no way in hell Capcom is going to be like okay we're going to give you our IPs and we're going to make you have we're going to make it look like Nicky do whatever you want with these characters they're not going to do that right yeah

[SPEAKER_00]: There's no way that they're going to be like, okay, we're going to trust you to do it.

[SPEAKER_00]: Even though there aren't very good, but they'll be like, okay, no, no, we know what you're about.

[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, so they can come and just like we've seen how to press your stories.

[SPEAKER_00]: I know, right?

[SPEAKER_02]: It's going to be less depressed.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it's just as depressing.

[SPEAKER_02]: It isn't just as depressing or more depressing than for anything.

[SPEAKER_00]: All around the dead and stuff, everything, you know, it's so funny to me.

[SPEAKER_00]: It's so weird, but yeah, but

[SPEAKER_00]: It's good.

[SPEAKER_00]: It's all good.

[SPEAKER_00]: I know people are not going to be are happy about it.

[SPEAKER_00]: I'm I'm not I'm not like super hyped about it, but I'm just like it's another another another event.

[SPEAKER_00]: I'll give it a shot just like when we went to packs west there was a game called Crystals of Atlin that came out.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, they're like they were at the time they were doing a Digimon event and then and then I was like oh wow Like so what's Digimon and it's the OG one so the ones that I knew like more gray mom and all that stuff I was like yeah, like there was a there was a raid that you had to fight with your with the other people That and then she was showing me all this stuff and I'm like oh, dude, this makes me kind of want to play this But I know I can't because if I do then that's that's gonna be it for me So I can't touch it

[SPEAKER_00]: But yeah, but I played the the the the raid bots and it was fun as hell I mean these kind of events and stuff always happens for these gotcha things, but then But you just got to make sure not to spend crazy amounts of money for it Yeah, so yeah, no, I mean I think it starts this week it starts this Wednesday.

[SPEAKER_00]: It's gonna be the first week of it So if y'all have already if y'all friends, y'all just have put y'all play an EK hit me up

[SPEAKER_00]: And there's not really a way to do co-op in this anymore.

[SPEAKER_00]: So, but you can get bonuses and stuff if you do, if you do, if you go on the friend's list, so there you go.

[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, okay.

[SPEAKER_00]: Nice.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_00]: So that's pretty cool.

[SPEAKER_02]: I don't will.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I don't have check.

[SPEAKER_00]: Don't wait.

[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, God.

[SPEAKER_00]: I can't imagine.

[SPEAKER_00]: Can you, like, like, 70s whales, it's funny when you see some, like,

[SPEAKER_00]: see some of these people spending what they spend when you see some of these these people's stats and I'm just like how I like how and why would you do this it's just it's it's just like what like what's the like you know but I'm not going to judge someone you know

[SPEAKER_00]: All right, so my topic, why I'm the last topic for today is Xbox decided to give us a brand new gift of giving today and that is a new price increase for all their console systems in October.

[SPEAKER_00]: I believe it starts October 3rd.

[SPEAKER_00]: So,

[SPEAKER_00]: So, starting October 3rd, Xbox is increasing their prices on their Xbox consoles.

[SPEAKER_00]: So, the Xbox Series S, the 512, is now $399, which was $379, but from before.

[SPEAKER_00]: The Xbox Series S 1, terabyte is now 449, which was 429.

[SPEAKER_00]: The Xbox Series X digital, that's the no-disc one, is $600, which was 549.

[SPEAKER_00]: Xbox Series X is 649, which was 599, and the Xbox Series X 2 terabyte Galaxy Black special edition.

[SPEAKER_00]: Jesus, that's a ton cool.

[SPEAKER_00]: That one is $799, which was originally 729.

[SPEAKER_00]: Now, I correct me if I'm wrong about the Xbox Series X 2 terabyte.

[SPEAKER_00]: The only difference with this one

[SPEAKER_00]: it's not like it's an enhanced version of the series x itself in any way just just a more hard drive space.

[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, so that one should mine's will just be obsolete.

[SPEAKER_00]: I just I don't even understand why so what would even want to deal with that at that point.

[SPEAKER_00]: That's a hundred and fifty dollars just for an additional terror by the space.

[SPEAKER_00]: that is insane for one.

[SPEAKER_00]: But it was I digress.

[SPEAKER_00]: This is the second pricing increase in six months for Microsoft to go with for their systems.

[SPEAKER_00]: Now to say that Microsoft has already not struggling already for the hardware as it is now, but just to announce that they're going to be increasing it even more.

[SPEAKER_00]: for a five-year-old system at this point is insane to me and this upgrade, this update or this increase is specifically in the U.S.

[SPEAKER_00]: only.

[SPEAKER_00]: It's nowhere else except here.

[SPEAKER_00]: So they're they're phrasing it

[SPEAKER_00]: in a way so it's not safe to so they don't say that it's because of the tariffs but it's because of the tariffs so uh uh like i'm not afraid to say it so just uh uh oh and uh it's funny because like i'm actually reading this from from um

[SPEAKER_00]: from polygon, and this is what the U.S.

[SPEAKER_00]: President Donald Trump's chaotic and punitive tariffs on goods and manufactured in China, Vietnam, and India raising prices for companies and being passed on to the consumers.

[SPEAKER_00]: There is no telling if this is the last day of price in fluctuations Americans will be forced to endure this year.

[SPEAKER_00]: So guess what?

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, so that means it will only get more expensive.

[SPEAKER_00]: So

[SPEAKER_00]: Um, it's uh, yeah, it's a time, it's a weird time to be living in this right now.

[SPEAKER_00]: They're, they're, they're in a place where there is no different for you to go, they're, they're kind of pushing you towards the PC, just go and getting a PC at this point and or just, or now the serious conversation of, is it just better to just get the handheld that's coming to ally,

[SPEAKER_00]: And just go with that or just or just deal with just a regular build of PC and just do it your own self.

[SPEAKER_00]: I mean I mean, I don't know what we well, that's what we could say about this at this point I mean, we've talked about it.

[SPEAKER_00]: We only talked about what to two and a half or three weeks ago with Sony, but the fact that that Microsoft had to do it again and such a short period of time.

[SPEAKER_00]: It's just

[SPEAKER_00]: like, like, for all of them, it's like, it's Microsoft as the one that has to say, okay, we're not getting enough money for this.

[SPEAKER_00]: We're going to have to increase it again.

[SPEAKER_00]: Then in bar bear in mind, this is a five-year-old system.

[SPEAKER_00]: Usually when when systems go down and or they get older, they go down in price, but we've been going to see it go up.

[SPEAKER_00]: This, like, for all three, it's just

[SPEAKER_00]: like what the hell like it's just like what the hell dude I mean I'm already I'm already tired out on just talking about it personally I wasn't even sure if I wanted to talk about this because I don't even know like how to feel about just how I feel or if I should even like care or even worry about the next gen because if the next gen comes and we're already hitting these kind of prices for the old it went just crazy yeah

[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it's it's just I don't see how these people are just going to say it's like they're forcing you to be like okay, we're going to we're just going to we're just going to be forcing you to go to PC at this point even a PC it's not like he's any cheaper but still you know well they could be conditioning us to prepare for the the pricing for the next generation as well and when they announced it they'll drop these prices back down to what they're basically started out at

[SPEAKER_01]: And I'm taking next generation is going to be the pricing that they've set up now, essentially.

[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know.

[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, like, okay, let's see.

[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, you, I don't think Microsoft is that smart.

[SPEAKER_02]: I just, I'm just being honest.

[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, well, like, I think some like this, like, let's say the tariffs are stays stays into effect the whole time.

[SPEAKER_00]: like even if we'd say we're okay we're not going to be terrifying this kind of thing it's not like it's going to be a night and it's like it's going to be something's going to happen overnight this is something that's like it's like it's going to take a gradual time for it to go down in the way it's going to go down is going to be it's going to be like it's going to be slow moving just as much as it would spend slow moving going up even so it's just.

[SPEAKER_00]: I just don't even know man seven figures basically has the best way of saying it He says should I bought it soon or now you're paying a late entry fee It's crazy.

[SPEAKER_00]: It's crazy.

[SPEAKER_00]: True.

[SPEAKER_02]: I'll be this slide.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it's like it's a very very very true I mean now it's like it's crazy to say that your best pricing that you're gonna get on this system is gonna be when you get a day one

[SPEAKER_00]: because like, I mean, the only besides the switch that I'd be the switch has been a pricing increase.

[SPEAKER_00]: They're Biden up at the cost of it right now, but eventually they're probably gonna say, you know what, we gotta make some more money.

[SPEAKER_00]: We gotta get that more, we gotta increase it.

[SPEAKER_00]: There's the way around me and stuff.

[SPEAKER_00]: So I mean, it's just,

[SPEAKER_00]: It's so it's just deflating.

[SPEAKER_00]: It just feels so deflating about like let me let me we can do we can we we have to sit out We have to sit this all out and see what's going to happen then when things get more extreme which is which My my bet is that it will get more extreme Later on because this is just a starter that that where we're gonna be in the spot We're just gonna get in the spot where we should not be surprised that that things will either

[SPEAKER_00]: be discontinued, stopped or like another crazy thing that you would never expect it to happen.

[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, look at the like the like, the like, the Xbox Game Pass, but the online fees that you're paying for like everyone, PlayStation decided to just jack that price up from $50 to $80 and just one of those who, but now that then now they're even

[SPEAKER_00]: They're even teetering it that is going to go to another increase here in the next, like with the next few months.

[SPEAKER_00]: What?

[SPEAKER_00]: You imagine seeing that go into it like that, that the base plan could possibly go over 100 bucks a year.

[SPEAKER_00]: And then to hard.

[SPEAKER_00]: So the different kinds of things.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, exactly.

[SPEAKER_00]: And then if that is happening, your everyone's beloved Xbox Game Pass is obviously going to be the next.

[SPEAKER_00]: It could be the next couple of months.

[SPEAKER_00]: So it's just so many different kinds of things.

[SPEAKER_00]: It's just going to get so ridiculously

[SPEAKER_00]: You just can't ignore, I mean, it's just so, so annoying that this is, that how fast that they, that this has jumped up.

[SPEAKER_00]: So technically this pricing increases happen, it's now gone up a hundred bucks essentially a total.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, right.

[SPEAKER_01]: Thanks so yeah.

[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, because it's like six months ago because it wasn't because it was originally the I think the the series adds five twelve was three was was two ninety nine when it first came out and it was was three hundred bucks and never hidden four hundred so now the things yeah so oh my god so yeah I don't even know what to say about it it's just what what what what else can be said about this there's nothing other right impact of the terrorist that we all knew it's gonna

[SPEAKER_01]: have an effect on our pocketbooks.

[SPEAKER_00]: So, you know, because everyone thought they're there.

[SPEAKER_00]: Hey, you don't want to come in.

[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, the terrors.

[SPEAKER_00]: No, the terrors are going to make it make things a lot cheaper.

[SPEAKER_00]: Like, I'm not.

[SPEAKER_00]: I work.

[SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to be.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it's so whatever, man.

[SPEAKER_01]: You trust the companies, not the past on that pricing to us, the consumers.

[SPEAKER_00]: Like, come on.

[SPEAKER_01]: In the way it's kind of like you just you kind of want to force people to just not buy it anymore because it's what's going to happen that I think that's what will end up driving prices because they're not going to hit as much of a profit as they anticipated because people everyone's having to

[SPEAKER_01]: You know, pinch their, pinch their pockets, pinch their pennies a little tighter because everything is increasing and pricing so if everything is increasing I don't have as much money to purchase luxury items because I consider it had stuff luxury items because that excess money is going to necessities as opposed to these luxuries.

[SPEAKER_00]: mm-hmm.

[SPEAKER_00]: Nope.

[SPEAKER_00]: You know, you're right.

[SPEAKER_00]: You totally right, Ben.

[SPEAKER_00]: I just don't even know what to say.

[SPEAKER_00]: It sucks.

[SPEAKER_01]: It sucks.

[SPEAKER_01]: We just have to see here and take it and just like I can't do it.

[SPEAKER_01]: I just can't do it.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_00]: You know?

[SPEAKER_00]: It's like, it's like, it doesn't even, it doesn't, none of it makes any kind of level of sense, but

[SPEAKER_00]: Hey, y'all, people wanted one of this to happen.

[SPEAKER_00]: So let's see where this is going to go.

[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, that's what we can't say.

[SPEAKER_00]: They decided, hey, this is the right, this is the right course of action.

[SPEAKER_00]: So I hope they're enjoying this.

[SPEAKER_00]: So there you go.

[SPEAKER_00]: No, I do not.

[SPEAKER_00]: I do not know.

[SPEAKER_02]: Click when people like us who are smart and save up for things, have it, and then suddenly they don't have it, because it was supposed to be cheaper.

[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, yeah, you know, by the time like granted the other eight comes out like, oh, yeah, y'all were expected with hundred dollar game.

[SPEAKER_00]: It's a hundred and forty dollars or something like that.

[SPEAKER_01]: That's by then even like two hundred dollars.

[SPEAKER_01]: We talking about the prices are going up exponential to the amount of time.

[SPEAKER_01]: We're exponentially to the amount of time that's passing like.

[SPEAKER_01]: There I think it's you're going to they're going to only increase and now they've got a scapegoat to be able to increase these prices Well the government the government we got to we got no choice now Yeah, you know, so they've got a boogie man outside of themselves to be able to point to So I don't see this slowing down if anything I can only see it increasing and more price hits and stuff like that happening

[SPEAKER_00]: If they have two more, if they had to do a price, a jackup on the price in less than six months, that's very concerning.

[SPEAKER_00]: That's like, like, even in general though, the whole thing in period of just saying that this, like, I can understand a price jump on something that was that was new, that was old.

[SPEAKER_00]: But to say that none of these generation systems has not done a price decrease in any way.

[SPEAKER_00]: It's only been going higher and higher in the older it gets.

[SPEAKER_00]: it's just, it's so odd to me.

[SPEAKER_00]: Like, I don't know if it's just me thinking that, but it's just like, it's, it's, it's, it's like, yeah, yeah, it's so, it's so randomly off.

[SPEAKER_00]: It's like not even funny.

[SPEAKER_00]: Like, or, or you remember when Nintendo announced that they were doing a price jump for their old Nintendo switch, which is its seven-year-old system?

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, that's crazy.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_00]: Point that there was like $50 difference between the switch OLED to a switch to?

[SPEAKER_00]: It's like what is happening?

[SPEAKER_01]: That's like you buy a car and go to sell a bag in its worth more than you bring tomorrow.

[SPEAKER_01]: Denver happens.

[SPEAKER_01]: Denver happens.

[SPEAKER_01]: What?

[SPEAKER_00]: As far as there's a lot of videos that are coming that I've seen and seeing on things saying piracy is coming back is like, well, those shit, the piracy is coming back.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_00]: People can't afford it anymore.

[SPEAKER_00]: People are saying out to these monthly payments to Spotify, Spotify used to be like, what?

[SPEAKER_00]: $7 a month.

[SPEAKER_00]: Now you're hitting over $15, $20 just for Spotify.

[SPEAKER_00]: Why?

[SPEAKER_00]: It's for, I never paid for Spotify.

[SPEAKER_02]: People aren't necessarily pirating when it comes to Spotify.

[SPEAKER_02]: People are sure about buying MP3s and just downloading whatever they can.

[SPEAKER_00]: That's still pirating in the way.

[SPEAKER_02]: in a way, yeah, but like I still have access to like all the stuff I had on my iPod and I can still download that so then P3.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, yeah, well, now they're just sort of worrying about streaming now.

[SPEAKER_00]: Look at how people are just collecting it.

[SPEAKER_00]: And I was like, this is like going back in the early 2000s when everyone had their own, you know, like, oh, we went to the ice, the apple store, whatever they called it at the day.

[SPEAKER_00]: I'm music or whatever.

[SPEAKER_00]: Just go and just download, install the, install the music itself.

[SPEAKER_00]: The song itself and the visually.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_00]: And stuff.

[SPEAKER_00]: We're kind of we're going, we're kind of retrograding back to that because we don't want to pay the, the crazy monthly fees that these people are doing or are adding because of these crazy, these crazy expenses.

[SPEAKER_00]: And if, and if in that case, if that's the case, that could also possibly happen if, if, if,

[SPEAKER_02]: of game pass goes up any higher, which I really feel like it would it could possibly happen like like like 30 like a game pass goes up any higher to really going to be funny to see how some games react to player count and just like we had X amount of players this weekend.

[SPEAKER_02]: got to be hard to get that data when people start getting it because it's too expensive.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, exactly because you're telling, like, as now, like, if you're going to do it, if they hits over 30 bucks, like, because right now they're hitting that, they're at 25 at the back.

[SPEAKER_00]: That's 25.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yes.

[SPEAKER_00]: At the, at the ultimate, if they hit over 30 bucks, then it's a conversation of wondering if it's even worth your time even doing it.

[SPEAKER_00]: Right.

[SPEAKER_00]: 25 is already kind of already pretty high as it is, but you can get away with the smaller level plans.

[SPEAKER_00]: The only difference is that the 25 you can get the date, I believe the 25, it gives you the day one game.

[SPEAKER_00]: And PC.

[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, and PC for, oh, for, so, okay, so yeah, so that would be the only, the only saving grace for all of that, but, but if you're getting it, when you're telling you, hey, we're going to be 30, 40 dollars a month, 30 dollars a month towards the same kind of situation.

[SPEAKER_01]: And it's a top thing that yeah, that's like Adobe subscription prices and at least I can make money with that I can't make money with game pass.

[SPEAKER_00]: You can't make money with game pass.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I'm paying sixty dollars a month for Adobe and I One for it.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, it's the power you pay in four.

[SPEAKER_00]: It's the full sweet.

[SPEAKER_00]: I put like because I use I use everything I use light room.

[SPEAKER_00]: I use Photoshop edition Stixie you should be like 30 year no in the 29 or 39

[SPEAKER_00]: that's that's probably college rate, but no, the full, the full call, uh, cloud cloud suite 60 a month, uh, then I must be getting the college rates.

[SPEAKER_01]: So yeah, that's, uh, yeah, that's, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, even on my account is actually on Scorpion, he's at account.

[SPEAKER_00]: I don't go back to ITT tech and get myself a favor, you know, make it a little cheaper.

[SPEAKER_00]: They got a little cheaper right now, $60 a month.

[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, she's been, well, she's, she's, she's, she's always because yeah, she's always going to be in school.

[SPEAKER_00]: So she's good.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, that's a good.

[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, that's how to learn.

[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, my gosh.

[SPEAKER_02]: It goes to a really good school.

[SPEAKER_02]: The emo just stays the same.

[SPEAKER_02]: They don't even check if you graduate.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, really.

[SPEAKER_00]: So yeah.

[SPEAKER_00]: So I might just do that.

[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe just go.

[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know.

[SPEAKER_00]: I'm coming for all right now.

[SPEAKER_00]: Let's all this.

[SPEAKER_00]: Or a chance of coming for all the obviously.

[SPEAKER_02]: Honestly, I think you can invite people to use it because that's what I did with one of my editors.

[SPEAKER_02]: You can invite a workstation onto the account.

[SPEAKER_00]: Well, that's, yeah, that's, that's special to your to your team to your working or to your school email account.

[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know how many you can do for that.

[SPEAKER_02]: Sorry.

[SPEAKER_00]: You can do three.

[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, yeah, because I like it.

[SPEAKER_02]: Hey, this is, this is the facial expression change.

[SPEAKER_02]: It's like, oh, I know that's a lot more than I was expecting.

[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, yeah, this is a lot more than I was expecting.

[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not going to lie.

[SPEAKER_00]: It's great.

[SPEAKER_00]: But yeah, it drives me insane for what I've been paying.

[SPEAKER_00]: I'm paying that forever, too.

[SPEAKER_00]: It's like, I don't have a choice.

[SPEAKER_00]: I really want to get off of it.

[SPEAKER_00]: That's the, that's the, that's the song.

[SPEAKER_02]: It's the only song.

[SPEAKER_02]: Well, these subscriptions to begin with.

[SPEAKER_02]: Well, they started it and everyone else just started following along.

[SPEAKER_00]: Because Adobe does it.

[SPEAKER_00]: They can get solid income constantly without doing the least amount of work on saying, oh, we're going to make a new thing.

[SPEAKER_00]: It's like they just, I mean, they've been using the same like Photoshop.

[SPEAKER_00]: They're adding all their adding on most of the stuff is AI.

[SPEAKER_00]: So it's like, oh, okay.

[SPEAKER_00]: Fine.

[SPEAKER_00]: You got me Adobe.

[SPEAKER_00]: You got me right on like, you made me want to get to be over and just accept it.

[SPEAKER_00]: I'm just accept this point.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yep, so there you go.

[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know how do we got to the Adobe point.

[SPEAKER_00]: But yeah, it's the Xbox price is yeah, so anyways, it is what it is.

[SPEAKER_00]: Hey guys, we get it's a now total of a hundred dollars up probably going to go up to another 50 in the next six months who knows these games the systems are are

[SPEAKER_00]: It's dumb.

[SPEAKER_00]: Don't buy him.

[SPEAKER_00]: Simple as that.

[SPEAKER_00]: I'm probably with even advice.

[SPEAKER_00]: It's not buy him.

[SPEAKER_00]: There's no reason to it's weird.

[SPEAKER_00]: Like you're it's kind of like saying you're going to go one by a VCR at this point.

[SPEAKER_00]: And then when you now it is because like.

[SPEAKER_00]: It's, these are antiquated devices now at this point.

[SPEAKER_00]: We're getting, we're the place where we're transitioning, we're transitioning to a next-gen thing.

[SPEAKER_00]: Even the next-gen thing, it's debatable if you're wanting to buy because if these prices are what they are becoming, I'm afraid to know what, what next-gen is gonna be.

[SPEAKER_00]: So, exactly.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, so like, I'm at a point where I'm like, I'm not gonna touch it.

[SPEAKER_00]: I do wanna buy a VCR, actually.

[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, good, good, well, they still have them.

[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I bought on Amazon, I think, or eBay.

[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, we still have a blue A player.

[SPEAKER_01]: That's like a hundred bucks.

[SPEAKER_01]: Wow.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, really?

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_01]: I'm using it to convert old VHS tapes to digital.

[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, do you have a thing to connect the VCR directly till you're a computer?

[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, yeah, I rigged it.

[SPEAKER_00]: That's funny.

[SPEAKER_00]: You were back in the day on how to record like to record on the other VHS player.

[SPEAKER_00]: It's so funny to me when I think about how ancient it is just to do stuff like that, you know?

[SPEAKER_00]: It's so crazy to me.

[SPEAKER_02]: It's what makes us so excited to see you, though.

[SPEAKER_00]: What's it what?

[SPEAKER_02]: I would say this was made so so tech savvy today, though, because it was such a long process back then.

[SPEAKER_00]: Well, God, even when it was Jimmy Smith, when he was a child, when he was able to record his gameplay, I didn't even think about that ever.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_00]: I told you to say that.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_00]: They would do that.

[SPEAKER_01]: We're recording the gameplay back on VHS tapes.

[SPEAKER_00]: That was great.

[SPEAKER_00]: It's like he could have did if you just had to put him in court which yeah, the million that was Opportunity was like Could have been YouTube back in 92 that's like YouTube was it's way in 2005.

[SPEAKER_02]: So you could have been like one at like the gym the first gym you right?

[SPEAKER_00]: Oh man The band I got first It's really could have been the first influencer

[SPEAKER_01]: I was pushing back hard on that stuff though back in a day.

[SPEAKER_01]: It took me forever to actually get on Facebook.

[SPEAKER_01]: I didn't get on till my junior in college which was 2004 two up you don't five.

[SPEAKER_01]: I think it's a year after it came out

[SPEAKER_00]: I got in the Facebook, it was super late.

[SPEAKER_00]: I think I got mine in 2011, 2010, 2011.

[SPEAKER_00]: And yeah, yeah, no.

[SPEAKER_00]: So it made sense.

[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, he kept, wait, was just some figure says he that he kept his old TV for a VCR CRT.

[SPEAKER_00]: This is the question.

[SPEAKER_00]: What kind of the TV is it?

[SPEAKER_00]: And we're talking about the old CRT, we're talking about the old Woody, the giant, the giant Woody, the old Woody, the one giant, like giant one piece would think

[SPEAKER_00]: with a 15-year screen.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, my buddy's parents had one of those with dial knobs on the right-hand side that you got the best at the antennas on the back.

[SPEAKER_02]: Oh my god.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, if you ever seen one of those, pop.

[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I have.

[SPEAKER_02]: I just had a flashback on my grandparents.
