Dominic:
Oh, the PC made from our favorite people. Dark Fusion Systems yeah, Sponsors as well.
Ryan:
Yeah, absolutely Check them out. Darkfusionsystemscom. I do want to start things off kind of on a tragic note. This is only a few hours old now, but because we go back with references to wrestling all the time, Josh and Dom, did you guys see that Bray Wyatt died today?
Josh:
Yes.
Ryan:
Suddenly. Yeah, it's horrible.
Dominic:
I found out about it 36?
Logan:
Yeah.
Dominic:
Holy cow. I found out about it when I looked into Trello and I was like that can't be real. This is like a little joke, that's actually insane.
Ryan:
Well, yeah, until Hunter tweeted about it, was that the official announcement of his death. Yeah, that was only at five o'clock today, central time that is. Yeah, I read that and had to reread it like four times. I was like what the fuck? Because Terry Funk died yesterday.
Josh:
I did see that. Yeah, and Terry.
Ryan:
Funk was one of my favorite wrestlers growing up when he was chained, saw Charlie in the WWF so that was like a big hit, but he was. I mean he was older, he was up there and he put his body through the ringer for the past 40, 50 years. Who knows Bray Wyatt?
Dominic:
you know 36 years old, fairly new in the business, and you know it's a shame when he was in it absolutely killed it, Because when I was watching WWE a lot was during Bray Wyatt's little terrorization on the entire WWE universe and it's so crazy because he did such a good job as that character.
Ryan:
He was yeah, he was a really easy like innovative mind in the wrestling business, constantly reinventing himself and doing new and really interesting stuff, wasn't he now forgive me because I haven't watched wrestling in the last like six or seven years, really? But, he was kind of he was part of that whole, like they had this really like dark kind of background, kind of like the whole Wyatt family thing. Yeah, that was, that was that's going back like like eight or nine years ago. But yeah, oh, okay, that's the last I remember. And then he was the fiend for hair where he wore like the slipknot style mask, kind of Okay, all right, was he? Was he supposed to wrestle Taker at some point? Because I remembered seeing in an interview, I think, he was talking about one and two. Yeah, or maybe it was just an older interview that yeah, wrestlemania 31.
Josh:
Yeah, because he was really proud of Bray Wyatt.
Ryan:
It was.
Dominic:
I'm looking, I'm looking, I think it was Bray Wyatt yeah.
Ryan:
Well, while he's looking, I just Taker said something along the lines of how proud he was, how he kept just kind of changing his character to match and fit with what worked and everything, and do 30. I mean, I don't care what you do, 36 years, way too young, oh yeah, way too young. So, but yeah, you know, for what it's worth we hear at Bucket Bites, you know, send our love to the, to the Wyndham family, because I mean, yeah, that he was also a second generation wrestler. Really so yeah, his dad was IRS back in the day oh.
Josh:
I've been our shister.
Ryan:
What was his name, irs? It was Irvin R Scheister, and he was like he was his real name. He was no it was his character's name Okay.
Logan:
No way, that was his real name.
Ryan:
I didn't know. His name is Mike Rotunda and I mean he was. Yeah, I think he still works at WWE is like an agent or something, or he was. Oh okay, Um, but yeah so it sucks, it's so crazy.
Dominic:
I still remember when they corrupted John Cena, that whole storyline, mm, hmm, it was like such a fun little fucked up thing to do.
Ryan:
They did it a couple of times because then they did with Daniel Bryan to Daniel Bryan.
Dominic:
So what do you?
Ryan:
mean? What do you? Okay, what do you mean by they corrupted him?
Josh:
Like a cult almost yeah, Right.
Ryan:
So they by corrupt they, like you know, in my games yeah.
Dominic:
Mm, hmm, at one point one of my favorite bits of that was Bray Wyatt had a bunch of children where like John Cena shirts and a sheet mask and they all like terrorized John Cena, there's like 20 or 30 kids around the ring.
Ryan:
Oh, dude, like that shit, I would have fell for that stuff. And then they were like they modulated the kids voices so they were like super deep.
Josh:
I don't know if you remember that. Yeah, it was great.
Ryan:
I'm going to have to look that up. I'm going to have to look that up. Uh, well, yeah, like I said, sorry to kind of start things off on a sad note, but kind of breaking news here, uh, from earlier today, so just wanted to kind of get that up and out of the way. So our thoughts out to the Wyatt. But you said the Wyndham family, wyndham, yeah, yeah.
Dominic:
Like Wyatt, you know, I think there's one family to. I mean, we're all part of the.
Ryan:
Wyatt family.
Dominic:
I think there's only two living members of that group now, which is crazy, oh yeah, cause I mean, there's only one.
Ryan:
Uh, there's Ron Schroman and uh, it doesn't count, he was there after he was. I mean, okay, I'm OG three, so yeah.
Dominic:
All right, I'm only one as well, yeah. So the car accident?
Ryan:
I forget how we know they never really said he had some kind of health issue and then his his widow wanted to kind of keep it private.
Dominic:
So yeah, so sad.
Ryan:
So I think it's Eric Harper, Was that his name? Uh, Eric Rowan Eric.
Josh:
Rowan.
Ryan:
Harper was Brody's Luke, luke Harper. Luke Harper was, yeah, brody Lee's name, um, but yeah, so, yeah, that sucks. So, yeah, not well. Moving on to more happier things, uh, gamescom has been going on for the last couple, uh, couple of days, so if you're going to be a good time to maybe talk about what's what's going on in the world of gaming a little bit, and by, like I said earlier, by all means, please feel free to ask if we have any opinions on the show in chat, and we will do our best to give you our thoughts and opinions and what we saw. Um, but we're just going to kind of go down, just go down the list of things that I've taken notes on. Feel free any one of you to interject as we're going on. Yeah, but they, you know, they, they introduced a little nightmares. Three. Uh great, it does look pretty good. Uh did I catch that that's going to be co-op, or was I yes, yes, so they made a point to point out that it is going to be co-op and I was just sitting there thinking of uh oh, this is going to be a demented, it takes two.
Dominic:
Oh, that's a good way to put it. Oh, that's so fun.
Ryan:
I'm actually. I really hope I get a chance to play that, uh, since I don't own a PlayStation right now.
Logan:
Is it?
Ryan:
only on. Playstation. I didn't see, I did not look.
Dominic:
I hope not.
Ryan:
So it yeah. Well, I feel like more PlayStation games have been coming to PC, though. So that's you know. Oh yeah, for sure it's been good.
Josh:
You might just have to wait a year. Yeah.
Ryan:
So that that'll be. Uh, that was announced and actually revealed. Um, they may have teased in the past, but official trailer came out today or on Tuesday it was. Uh, they also had a trailer for a black myth, wukong Hell yeah. That looked pretty neat too. That was uh like people knew about that, I think.
Josh:
I don't know about that game myself.
Ryan:
But that. So please, if anyone wants to, maybe remind me um, but that's kind of like a like a Dark Souls-ish type game. Right, look like it.
Logan:
It reminded me of that. Uh, what's that one PlayStation game? It's like Japanese run island and you're fighting to save oh Ghost of Shushima, yes I got that kind of a vibe from it and it looked similar. It had like a nice feel to it, is it?
Dominic:
like about, like Sun Wukong the um, like God it's about the monkey king. Oh yeah.
Ryan:
Sun Wukong then.
Dominic:
So, oh yeah, I'm watching the gameplay now. That looks like I might want to play that.
Ryan:
It's actually just a spin off of League of Legends, is it? No, it's not. No, you can play as Wukong in League of Legends. That was a joke, stop your misinformation, Josh, Sorry.
Josh:
fake news on bucket bites.
Ryan:
Speaking of fake news? Nah, we're not going there yet.
Dominic:
Um.
Ryan:
I will say that trailer did catch my attention the right away, because they had a headless man uh singing and I didn't. I don't know how that works.
Josh:
I think that's not possible. This makes no sense.
Ryan:
The next thing that really stuck out to me was killing floor three. Uh, was formally announced as well, and I thought at first it was going to be like doom. Well, I take it back. My first thought. I'm like, oh dude, is this going to be like Gears of War six or whatever? And then they started playing the music and the game playing it looked like doom. I'm like, well, what is this doom? But no, it's killing floor three. I've never played either of the other killing floors, so if anyone wants to enlighten me on that, I played the first killing floor a little bit and it was like, uh, it was around the left for dead time, so it's kind of similar to that. Um did not even know that there was a killing floor two, so that came. That that was more of a surprise. Like, when they said killing floor three, I was like, wow, there's a killing floor two. But uh, yeah, uh, big props to the game does look really good, really clean, really fresh. Um, so no complaints there. Uh, as I said again, feel free to interject if there's something that really caught your eye that you guys want to talk about. Uh, I'm not going to talk about Age of Empires four that they shadow dropped. Um, because nobody? Really well, I'm not going to say nobody.
Josh:
Wow.
Ryan:
Wow.
Logan:
I'm a huge.
Ryan:
Age of Empires fan and you're going to, are you really? Yes, wow, yeah.
Josh:
Um waiting for what you came today.
Ryan:
That's true, I can't today, but I have not played it yet, but um no, I love like. Age of Empires two and three are two of my favorite games of all time, so okay, well, what? If four is just that bad, what if four?
Dominic:
is that bad?
Ryan:
And that's the thing is like they announced four like years ago and then I've heard nothing about it and now they're like, okay, it's out. So I'm I don't have super high hopes, because they didn't hype it like at all. I feel like they spent more time marketing their remake of Age of Empires two. Well, okay, so like this, my, my understanding was Age of Empires four actually came out like years ago and then now, oh, was it like an early access deal? I don't know, but I thought it came out years ago and then this was just for like, uh, um, like the Xbox, the controller version, because they were they were really talking about how, like, they perfected, you know, controls and things for controller. That's the case, then I'm definitely a fake fan. I don't know if that's the case or not. If someone wants to call Josh for being a fake fan, please please, please, please do it Um. Crimson Desert looked pretty decent.
Josh:
That was also I believe announced.
Ryan:
That was the gameplay trailer, Not announced. It was formal. It was previously announced. Um, but that's another. There's a lot of really good looking fun, Like crisp gameplay from a lot of games at least coming out of gamescom, at least.
Dominic:
I just watched the um um the gameplay trailer for Crimson Empire.
Josh:
Yeah, it was like.
Dominic:
Oh, Crimson Desert I mean I don't think that's the right name for it. No, honestly I don't. I don't think that name really fits, unless there's story that I'm missing. But it looked very nice and it looks like it has a good amount of goofiness in it and it kind of a lot of explosions, which might be fun.
Ryan:
Um, so that, uh, maybe one of you guys knows there was a game a long time ago, I believe it was PlayStation only, but it was kind of like the same setting and that you'd like control like these huge, you'd fight in these huge battles on foot and horseback and stuff. And I'm trying to remember the name of the game. If somebody knows it, please, please, feel free to to chime in. I can't remember what it was. Oh, Dynasty Warriors.
Josh:
Oh, yeah, it was.
Ryan:
Dynasty Warriors. I'm looking at this and I'm like this kind of looks a little bit like a Dynasty Warriors type thing, so that'd be pretty cool. Um, maybe they had some uh go ahead.
Dominic:
When I was looking at more gameplay. Well, looking more through the trailer, it looked like the horse riding, like the tiny bit clunky. Well and which would be, expected in a lot of games like that. But I'm I'm wondering if it's going to be as like fluid as they try to make it look during like combat and stuff, cause I know like a lot of horse riding in combat don't really mix well in games. Yeah.
Ryan:
I mean, I don't know, I felt like Elden Ring's horseback gameplay was kind of clunky.
Dominic:
Oh, it was also kind of like bare minimum.
Ryan:
Oh God, you guys you're going to people are going to start swarming on us here.
Josh:
No, no, no, no, no, like Elden Ring.
Ryan:
No, we can talk Elden Ring Dom especially. I know Dom's beating that game a handful of times. He's put a couple hundred hours into that.
Dominic:
Yeah, horse riding in that game is kind of useless Instead of besides like getting travel, but fighting on the horse is a really bad idea.
Logan:
Sometimes, sometimes, always, I still have not played it Is this Crimson Desert, the one that kind of looks like. Or I got like a, I think, a vibe off of like similar to like Assassin's Creed, because it was like getting you can get spotted after like attacking people and whatnot and you have to like evade.
Ryan:
Was that this game? I'm not, I don't, hmm, I don't know.
Dominic:
I don't see anything in the trailer that's like that. I know you could pick up sheep.
Ryan:
I know you could pick up sheep and carry them. Oh, so I mean game of the year potential, yeah.
Dominic:
Yeah, I mean it qualifies.
Logan:
I'm not looking up the trailer again.
Ryan:
Yeah, that's fine, we'll, we'll, we'll run down these next couple. Payday three looks like a big improvement over the other ones. I never liked the other ones. I also, for some reason, there's something in the back of my head that made me hate the old devs. I think we've talked about this in the past.
Dominic:
Yeah, we do.
Ryan:
So Assassin's Creed, assassin's Creed Mirage. They had some more gameplay trailer of that looks like Assassin's Creed.
Logan:
I'm not really curious. That's probably what I was thinking of.
Ryan:
That would be a game that looks like Assassin's Creed. Yes, that's a good point, josh. Thank you. You're so good, bro, you're so good. I have astute observations. That's why I'm here. That's precisely Tekken. 8 also had some gameplay shown. I'm assuming we don't want to talk about Tekken because Dom loves MK1. Very different games, though, to be fair.
Dominic:
They're very different.
Ryan:
Both look very good, though I got to say like, well, I mean, it's just a fighting game, that's moving on, I think Tekken's more on like the goofy side I think of, like fighting games. Yeah, tekken's on the goofy side, it's also it's like got the 3D element, or like you move towards the camera. Oh sure, sure, Sure, sure. Then we had Call of Duty 3 or season yeah.
Dominic:
Call of Duty 3 was they showed some shit Modern.
Ryan:
Warfare 3. Modern Warfare 3. Yeah, I'm sorry, it was a launch title for the PlayStation 3.
Dominic:
Which I kind of want to play for the story. If it's a remake of Modern Warfare 3, because I love that game, well, it's not, it's just.
Logan:
It's not, it won't be. Yeah, it's just not a continuation of the last campaign.
Ryan:
It's the finale of the remake or the reboot trilogy. Yeah.
Logan:
Which they kind of hinted at, like another type of a sequence, as 3 was with the airport scene. What's that called, yeah?
Dominic:
The airport scene where they kill a bunch of people. Yeah, oh the no.
Logan:
Russian. Yeah, no Russian, that's right. Yeah, they kind of hinted. I think they had like something spelled out on a text or something and then he destroyed the phone. So it was like, oh shit, is this going to be another mass thing Because they're on an airplane? So it's like, are they going back to an airport or they just get a wreck? Everyone on the on the plane. So they left it very open ended.
Ryan:
Okay, supposedly it's going to have their biggest zombies mode ever too, so we'll see how that works.
Logan:
Yeah, that's what I heard too.
Ryan:
I just it comes out too often, like I understand, for sports games coming out yearly, but I just I don't care how many studios you have, you have alternating studios working on games. I just can't, I can't support yearly releases for anything. Well, and also, like I I'm one of these people who only played Call of Duty for zombies, right, but like I can't tell you how many times I've heard this is the biggest zombies mode we've ever made and like so it's like all right, I don't know how much bigger can you get? Just give me zombies, that's all I want.
Logan:
Right Like it's. It's the concept of less is more. Like if you just make a simplistic great cod zombie map and make it fun for you to do with your friends, like what was it? Was it black ops? No, not black ops. So it was in the last two years where they made it like an open map where you can go different. Like the map was huge, which made it fun for you to travel around, but it just seemed like people kind of got burned out by it pretty quickly. Oh yeah, compared to it being a smaller map and you constantly have to revolve and around and stuff like that.
Ryan:
And there was the one on the bus like you. There was like a bus that you had to travel between the locations.
Logan:
I think so yeah.
Ryan:
Yeah, you're right.
Logan:
Like nobody enjoyed playing that after like no, the first week was like everyone was going after it, and then after that it just kind of phased out.
Dominic:
Yeah, I think I would only play cod now for the story. I used to be big into their multiplayer, but I think I'd only play for the story now.
Ryan:
I got suckered into buying the last one, and I regretted every day.
Dominic:
Well, I chose you. I chose you a lot for that.
Logan:
I granted the current one. I got not the mask is, that was the one before that but the maxed out weapon. So I I granted to get the maxed out camo and stuff like that. So I played a lot of multiplayer. A lot of my friends that I played with we all did search and destroy for gosh since Call of Duty 4. So we were always searching, destroy groups, so we'd go in and play, we'd. You know, just kind of reminiscing how we used to on the newer games, but it's just not the same.
Ryan:
Listen, there's, there's. There's a problem if the thing I remember most from playing Call of Duty is telling Josh's pants were nice?
Josh:
There's a problem. I like your pants.
Ryan:
Yeah, that's. That's an inside joke for those of you.
Logan:
The sad thing about God. Sorry not to interrupt.
Ryan:
There's only one sad thing.
Logan:
Yeah, yeah Is they try to market the current cod as like immersive and realistic and creating a cool way to unlock, like attachments. And next thing you know, they're introducing Snoop Dogg NBA players, nicki Minaj, like there's a freaking kitty you can have, you can play as a kitty military person, which it's like in all retrospect. Yeah, it's cool, but it's like they're trying to hear me out bringing the skins like Fortnite.
Ryan:
A lobby of all kitties and one Nicki Minaj.
Logan:
But like what? What they were trying to push for it just it didn't work. So they just went in a microtransaction route and we're like skins, skins. Let's give them what they want instead of just making the game. Have a good day. Ja, blue here.
Ryan:
Did we talk about this last week? Did we really?
Logan:
No, no, no, no, no. It was like a month ago we did talk about it a month ago.
Dominic:
It's been a while, yeah, yeah. So, but we were talking about the boys being in Call of Duty.
Ryan:
Yes, right, yeah.
Logan:
But it's gotten a little weird that you got NBA players and female celebrities and now kitty cat.
Josh:
Who is?
Ryan:
giving me. Who's giving me shit for saying that. I thought it was lame. Someone was giving me crap for it. Now we're praising it. I think I was ironically oh, okay, because all that stuff? I was doing a bit where Nicki Minaj and cod was awesome. Oh it was very convincing.
Josh:
I must say, because never break character.
Ryan:
That's my motto it's great. So, moving on down the line of other games, calm games that were kind of shown off, and there was a game called Nightingale. I don't know if this is on anybody's radar at all. When I first saw the announced trailer for this about a year, I think it was gamescom last year, mate or no. They didn't have one last year, right, or did that again?
Josh:
Anyways, I was about a year last year.
Ryan:
It was about a year or a year and a half ago or something like that, that they announced the game and it looked really cool and they showed gameplay of it actual gameplay of it and my hype levels gone down quite a bit, to be honest. So the way this like it was kind of originally shown to be this kind of MMO not MMO but like a, you know, large server full of people and you portal around into different areas, it's like a PVPV type thing and it still looks pretty decent, like the building. It looks a lot like Rust. If you've ever played Rust. But if you watch the trailer more towards like towards the end, like after the one minute mark, you'll start seeing. I think you'll understand why I'm like losing hype for this game. The gunplay looks atrocious.
Dominic:
I was just. I was just going to mention that because I'm like one minute and 22 seconds in and when you like, fan the hammer. You could like see the frames drop.
Ryan:
Well, it's not even that, Like I'll give. I'll give frame jobs, some you know, but go ahead.
Dominic:
When he's shooting at like the big monster, it looks like just big circles coming from the screen and not the actual gun.
Ryan:
Yes, Dude shooting a freaking like gun that shoots lead bullets, but instead of lead bullets comes out a freaking sparkler.
Josh:
And then it explodes.
Ryan:
It's so like oh, what are they doing to my?
Dominic:
It looks like a Dragon Ball Z, like Kaiball. That's what it looks like.
Ryan:
Sure, I don't know.
Dominic:
So sure.
Ryan:
Post has never watched Dragon Ball. I've been outed. I've been outed, yeah. So, needless to say, my my hyper. The game's kind of gone down quite a bit so it looks gorgeous.
Logan:
You know, but it looks really nice.
Dominic:
I can only go so far.
Ryan:
It looks quirky and fun. Gorgeous isn't the word I'd use for it, but that's just you know. That's just me Continuing on down the list of other games that were kind of announced in, there's a game called the first descendant which is kind of like this, really cool. It's a PlayStation game. I think it's coming out on PC PC as well, I'm not sure. It appears to be a PVPV type thing, kind of like a like what Bungie did with Destiny, but it's like a sci-fi action shooter type thing. It looks. It looks pretty good, but there's a lot that needs to be kind of fleshed out and that that's a big old booty and type. So, oh, there's anyways. So you mind sharing with the class. I'm not on the right website.
Josh:
Oh, no, no, no, no no.
Ryan:
I just I saw, I turned on the, the, the trailer again and I just skipped in a few seconds and right at the 30 second mark. If you go to the 30 second mark. There is some like I don't know how a human being can fit into those pants. It's actually a I mean, it's a video game, so we can yeah, sure, we can move on, but it looks pretty decent. Looks like something I would try for a couple of days and then put away forever.
Dominic:
The pants or the sea again.
Ryan:
If you think, if you think I'm fitting in those pants no, they'd rip. I don't know man those things now? Yeah, they'd rip. They would rip Moving on along. There was a game that I had not heard anything about until games come is called Fort Solis.
Dominic:
Did any of you guys?
Ryan:
see this trailer.
Dominic:
I have why. I've seen Roger Clark. I know why it's Roger.
Ryan:
It's cause of Roger Clark and Troy Baker.
Dominic:
I figured. That's why you knew about it. Roger Clark posted it, the voice actor for Arthur Morgan. Oh, he posted it on his Instagram A couple of times, saying he was working with Troy Baker, which I thought it was exciting because I think they're both excellent voice actors.
Ryan:
This is already out, apparently, oh came out has mixed reviews on on Steam. Yeah, so my I'll buy it so okay. So yes, the game features Troy Baker, Roger Clark and I can't remember what the girl's name is. It was their first ever video game. The trailer looks fantastic Like. It looks kind of like a grittier, more realistic, maybe kind of like dead space type thing. The problem is, is it's not really a game? Well, it says walking simulator is one of the tags. So yeah, it's, it's more of a it's like you're playing a telltale game Right, with less game, it's kind of it's like yeah. It's kind of more like a tech demo maybe.
Josh:
Well, it gives me.
Ryan:
It gives me a like gone home type vibe, sure, almost, but in space, yeah, sure, you ever play gone home, cause that was the same sure you gave for Dragon Ball. Shit, everyone's finding out my secrets.
Josh:
I got to change my units.
Ryan:
Sure, sure, uh-huh, great, fantastic, I've done, I know that Nod and shake. So yeah, I'll probably catch that one. It's on sale someday.
Dominic:
But to me it doesn't look that interesting Cause it's not like a whole lot going. I'd play for Roger Clark. That's the only reason why I would play it.
Ryan:
I'd play for Troy Baker. He's just not in enough games. You got to support him. Dom just wants to hear cowboy voices in space. You're all right, like that's what you're waiting for. And the next game on our list, dom's favorite MK one All right, bathroom break time All right, yeah.
Dominic:
I'll nerd out about it with our Mortal Kombat fans out there. There is any. Mk one announced two new characters and a couple of cameos, but I'll just name the main characters to make it quick. So they announced Sndel again, which is returning from MK 11, and they announced Shao Khan, who now goes under general Shao, since he's no longer Khan. Khan was King in that universe. A lot of speculation about what type of character he is, et cetera, et cetera. Gameplay looks a lot better than did in 11. I played the beta for MK one and I'm actually excited for the game. So nothing too big. Just to really excited. Are you actually excited? Yes, they have every character I wanted in the game right now.
Ryan:
Did a Colin Eric Cartman just kill Josh? I'm taking a nap.
Dominic:
Oh yeah, he's a board.
Ryan:
Oh well, I don't. I don't pay you to take naps during the show.
Josh:
You don't pay me at all.
Ryan:
That's. That's also true. So Diablo four had some info coming out about their next season. What do you do? How hard has that game fallen off since Baldur's Gate came out? I feel like that game fell. I really was talking about season one, right? Well, I think a lot of they had to do with casual players who have never played Diablo, like myself, not realizing that there were seasons and you had to play the season with a new character. Yeah, and they did a bullshit job like explaining why you should play the seasons.
Josh:
I still I feel like they still have it. Yeah, yeah.
Ryan:
So, yeah, their next season is coming out. So if you actually still play that game, the base game is still pretty fun. I still have not played it since Baldur's Gate finally released, but I won't go back to it. They did announce a vampire hunter for season two, though new class, so that'll be cool. Yeah Well, it'll give people a reason to come back and create something new. Do you, and I feel like a lot of people have been. Just from the comments I've been reading online, people are, I think, comparing Baldur's Gate to Diablo for a little bit too much. They're not. They're kind of the same, but they're not really in as much as their story based action RPGs. But sure, like the gameplay is entirely different, like the setting is entirely different, the vibes entirely different. Yeah, oh, for sure. I just like came to go ahead.
Dominic:
Like isn't the something of the same camera angle they use when talking to an NPC, or no? I haven't played any of them. I mean it's kind of like that. It's kind of like that isometric kind of view yeah.
Ryan:
Like when you're talking to, I mean I don't know, you get cut scenes, you get all this other stuff. They're not nearly the same game, no. So like they're similar in the way that a Tesla is similar to a Chevy Camaro. They both have four wheels and drive. But that's about it. Sure, yeah, that's fair, that's fair. There's another, another game that they kind of were talking about. They just showed a trailer for it. It's called Thank Goodness You're here, and it's basically a Josh. I think you'd really get a kick out of this game. I don't know if you ended up watching the trailer for this or seeing the trailer.
Josh:
It doesn't sound familiar.
Ryan:
Maybe it was kind of at the end, but it has peas, which are peas, and beans, in case anybody was curious. But it looks to be like this really quirky, kind of fun, kind of like platformer type thing, but it's like as a cartoon and I really kind of like it. It does look interesting. I'm looking at the steam page, yeah.
Josh:
I like the animation yeah.
Ryan:
It's. It's kind of adorable. So that was definitely on my radar to play with the art style. What's that called? Oh what, the fucking guy that looks like. I'm dude, I'm going to get like so much shit for this, but the guy kind of looks like a cat and they have long, stringy arms, but he's not a cat. I don't know what's called. Is it adventure time? Kind of looks like a oh yeah, well, yeah, are you talking about the dog? Is he a dog? What's his name?
Logan:
Jake no, I don't know their names.
Josh:
Oh my goodness, I don't know You're digging yourself a large hole, okay.
Ryan:
So look at the animation, style, the art you know the art style very much reminds me of that adventure time kind of art style to a degree. I agree with that to a degree. Yeah, I just couldn't remember what it was called. I'm sorry and I didn't know that. No, I was talking about the kid. You were talking about the kid with the hat. Yeah, yeah, the kid that wears the hood or hat. He looks like I thought it was a cat, but I don't know the hood or hat. He looks like I thought it was a cat, but now that I'm actually looking at, that's, that's Finn little boy.
Dominic:
Finn Finn. Yep, okay, I'm. And fun fact, sorry, the person that voices Jake voices Marcus Phoenix. Yeah really and Bender and Bender, oh, really Other people, yeah, yeah.
Ryan:
I did not know. Yeah, the last game I wanted to talk about, about gamescom, I think I said if anybody out there is watching on Twitch or on YouTube, by the way, if you've want to participate, who knows, maybe you'll get a participation trophy or award or a code or something. Yeah, potential computer for free, getting that chat, say hi or something. Wouldn't be great if Dark Fusion systems won, because they're always in the chat. Well, to be clear, we're not giving away the computer right now and today. No, I'm just saying because you know, I don't. I don't think he's entered. Oh, that would be so easy to ship That'd be so better, it's actually still at my house. I haven't given it back to him yet. Oh well, might be harder to ship than you thought announcing our winner Dark Fusion systems. Oh dude, I love that guy. Actually, I just reached out to him today. I saw him at shakers last week.
Josh:
Shakers what is the cigar bar?
Ryan:
Oh, were you really? Is that the place? Dahmer one too. Yeah, supposedly. Yeah. Okay, I was told I have to go there. If we ever go there, I got to bring someone with us. It's another woman, that's not my wife. Oh, I'm telling her that's okay. I'm sure I've been on many dates with this other woman. She doesn't like boys. Oh, I know her. Yeah, the last game I wanted to talk about about games, come by the way is a game called Ara History Untold. It's 100% just the Civ clone Like. I thought it was Civilization 7 or something. No, it's just, it's civilization. But the cool thing about it I was listening to it today while I was working is the way they designed the audio in that game. Long story short, you're never going to hear the same soundtrack twice because the way the different layers of the music come in, come in based on the choices and actions that you take in the game, along with what kind of like, where, like if you're an Act 1, 2, or 3, like are you like in the old ages? Are you in the modern civilization and the future? Blah, blah, blah, things like that. So I thought it was kind of a cool, little refreshing kind of take. You know, that I think would be pretty good. It may get a little bit more interesting rather than just turning off the music and civilization and just listening to. You know, whatever you listen to.
Josh:
Yeah, that sounds interesting.
Ryan:
Halo 3 did something similar to that that I always thought was really cool. Did it really? Yeah? Where, like, the soundtrack would bring in certain tracks and take out certain tracks based on if you were in combat or at a certain stage in the level? It was really cool. It's very subtle, so unless you know what's happening, you don't even realize it. Right, Really cool, yeah it's. I don't know. I feel like music and video games is one of those things that easily goes unnoticed.
Josh:
I feel like music.
Ryan:
Sorry, go ahead. No, I was just going to say that I feel like music can also make a game feel better, cooler, more immersive just by the sound and audio design with the music. Like Bramble, which was our July game of the month, was a game that featured a fantastic soundtrack and while the gameplay was a little bit kind of on the shallow end, it was the soundtrack that went with these boss fights that just made it feel so awesome and cool. And even though I was just kind of running in circles shooting a stone at nothing, yeah, and it's such a tightrope too, because music can't be too distracting from the gameplay, but it has to add to the ambiance and the vibe. So it's almost like a good soundtrack is one that you don't even recognize until you think about it.
Dominic:
Right, I agree. To me, music in a game can really make or break it. The first game that really made me really enjoy the music was the Elder Scrolls 6 Skyrim. That soundtrack for that game I think is very beautiful and it changes depending on where you're at and what time of day it is, and I thought that was really fun to deal with. And another game that really made me appreciate music in a video game was Cyberpunk.
Josh:
I knew it I fucking knew it.
Ryan:
Yeah, yeah, the moment you started talking about music, he's going to rope cyberpunk into this. So much, Dom. Can I ask, have you played any other CD Projekt Red games? They did Wolfenstein right, CDPR.
Dominic:
I did it. Witcher no who did. Was it.
Ryan:
Bethesda.
Dominic:
Yeah, I think so.
Ryan:
That's right, that's right. Have you ever played the Wolfenstein games at all?
Dominic:
I have not actually. I thought about it.
Ryan:
If you enjoyed the soundtrack in Cyberpunk, I think you'd enjoy the soundtrack and at least the most recent Wolfenstein game, the VR one, not the one before that. The actual full release, sorry, not the fucking 1970s, fucking, whatever it was.
Dominic:
I just had to be a dick. The reason why I mentioned Cyberpunk for music is because they really nailed down dreadful type of music. I think, and I don't know you can disagree with me if you want, but the not to spoil anything. The ending music is very somber and it really like brings you in and makes you realize that shit, this is really the end and this is what's going to happen.
Ryan:
Wow, spoilers. The end is the end. Thanks, man.
Dominic:
Yeah, you're welcome.
Josh:
But those are the games that really made me appreciate music. In video games.
Dominic:
Yeah, in video games and like the sound, design and everything has to be so important for a game to make it for me, and I really picky about games now depending on the music, because that's what really keeps me going.
Ryan:
Yeah, logan, what about you? Is there? Do you have any games? That stick out.
Logan:
The easy one for me would have to be Fallout, because I know business when I ever listen to such old music. But now when I hear those specific songs or songs like it, I get such Fallout vibes. A buddy of mine and I, when we work together, we would have like we'd drive the same truck to job sites and we'd have Fallout Fridays, so we'd have a playlist of like all the songs from Fallout, and we'd work to all those songs and it just, I don't know, it just brings you back and it was super, super fun. But another one then. To me obviously it's not during the gameplay, but Escape from Tarkov's music is just. I cannot tell you how much I've listened to their soundtrack while working, but it's never, it's just, I don't know how to describe it. It's all instrumental, obviously, but it's got that military-esque, intense feel to it and you just I don't know, it just is really good.
Ryan:
I'll take you one further on the Fallout one. Bioshock had a very similar vibe with the music where it just fit perfectly into that you know.
Logan:
Yes, yeah, the time era and it just, it just fits so, so well.
Dominic:
And also what comes with music and games is Ambience and Ambience, ambience, ambience, ambience, ambience. So, anyway, games like Red Dead, of course, like Skyrim, I think.
Ryan:
Dom's played two video games. No, no, no, no, no, Dom continue. I'm sorry, Because I also loved Red Dead soundtrack and their Ambience like yes, I know where you're going with it.
Josh:
Continue. Both, both, one and two are fantastic.
Ryan:
Yes, yeah, you can finish your thought, though. Sorry, I feel so bad I just keep shitting on Dom today. I'm going to stop Now. I can't think of games anymore.
Dominic:
I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
Ryan:
Yeah, I think my favorite soundtrack is Mad 2004, because I got to listen to. I don't remember what was on that game. No, it was Need for Speed Underground 2.
Logan:
Dude. It's funny though, like dude I've been grinding that I took a little break, but I've been grinding Underground 2. So I cannot. I was. I showed my wife the.
Josh:
Riders on the Storm Riders on the Storm with Snoop Dogg?
Ryan:
Yeah.
Logan:
She has never heard it before. I was like, oh my gosh, so I showed it to her and she freaking loved it.
Ryan:
Dude, dom's, just like dude. You guys are fucking old. What is this game? September?
Dominic:
Bombers.
Ryan:
Yeah.
Josh:
What who's?
Ryan:
Riders on the Storm. That sounds so lame, you talking about.
Dominic:
Snoop.
Josh:
Lion.
Dominic:
I've only played Need for Speed, but most wanted.
Josh:
All right, the remake for the original.
Dominic:
The original one.
Ryan:
Oh, okay, all right, that one was. I hated that game.
Josh:
You hated that one yeah.
Logan:
That was my first racing game, so I sucked at it that I had a great album on it too, a lot of techno type of songs on it, but they had you know, I've been seven fold on it. I think Disturb was on it. I had a lot of good rock songs on there too, so but I mean it's kind of.
Ryan:
It's kind of funny how those older games they would use those licensed songs and music. It was really cool. That was all EA, I guess. So I blame EA for a lot of my music tastes right now.
Josh:
So if it's not, good, you can blame them.
Ryan:
We don't really get that anymore, besides, in sports games like like well, even. And then it's like one or two like one or two licensed songs I.
Logan:
Just, and then they got fortnight, that's got all these new tracks. Well, they do old tracks and smooths to their songs and whatnot.
Ryan:
Yeah, yeah, I. I'm just trying to think of what's another game that really just like the soundtrack stood out. Oh, my grandfather San Andreas. Well, I mean, besides the opening, the song that no like the radio stations, like oh. Yeah, I think San Andreas has like the best soundtrack of any video game ever, or Tony ox underground to yeah, yeah, that's. Thug. Thug two, I think, is better than thug one. Yeah, I Sound trip, I think, all around. I think thug two is the better game, just period.
Dominic:
No, backbone is really good music. I mean tales noir.
Ryan:
Oh Lot, I want to see what Josh is doing. He's angrily typing a message.
Josh:
No, I'm sorry.
Ryan:
I'm like a better game and I saw a scowl on your face To was the better game overall. I did. Yeah, I thought I feel. I don't disagree with that. I prefer one. But I think thug two brought more to the table. Okay, I Think, oh no, I've just defended it.
Logan:
Oh no, we got a comment in chat that said For forza horizon four and five had good soundtracks.
Ryan:
All I remember was four. I think it was four. It was either it was one of those two had a Board to death by blink one, eighty-two and that was the only song I turned on because I didn't like any of the other one, so I'll take your word for it. My music taste is weird. It's okay, I like you, I like. Anyways, moving on.
Josh:
Dude.
Ryan:
Did I? Tales noir had a decent soundtrack. It was very. It was more so fitting. I wouldn't say that was a cut that was like composed just for the game. I feel like it was nothing. Yeah, and those are. My favorite is when a game can have Someone compose music custom specifically for the game, for the themes, for special fights, like that's like when you make something For the game, it's a million times better than anything that you're gonna license, didn't just throw in. You know what I mean. So that's that's me, that's that's that. Also, by the way, bill Clinton wants GTA 6. Oh yeah, dude, that was so that I felt for Keely at that moment where he was like this is so disappointing. So for those of you who don't know, during the game awards was it last year? with it was last year with the kid that came up. Yeah, a little kid just randomly went on stage during the During the game of the year award looking for clout and basically just grabbed the microphone and said something about his orthodox rabbi, bill Clinton, and it became a meme, of course, and he was. He was in the internet zeitgeist for five minutes, and now who the fuck knows what he's doing?
Dominic:
But um, oh, he makes, I'm sorry.
Ryan:
Oh, I want to know he is.
Dominic:
He's on a lot of like those right wing podcast.
Ryan:
Oh, Jesus Christ, of course.
Dominic:
He's very terrible.
Ryan:
Well, he's just, he's a troll, he's just looking for attention.
Logan:
Whatever, his intentions aren't pure? No, not at all.
Ryan:
I Just love the fact he's like, he's not always big podcast. He's a terrible human. That's just how I took him like wow, okay, we don't keep political. That's how. That's how my brain.
Josh:
And I'm like, why not a?
Ryan:
reason to hate somebody, or anyway, during gamescom. No, I knew exactly what Dom was saying, like I've never seen it, but I could. I know he's just going on this stuff to fucking cause a ruckus. Yeah, yeah, for sure. But uh, so during gamescom some asshole popped up and said something about Bill Clinton wanting GTA 6 and Jeff Keely Was just immediately like this is so disappointing, like like this is. And he was right, dude, it made me feel bad. I'm like I'm sorry, jeff. Yeah, like it felt like like the classes laughing at something and the teacher like gives a real heart felt like your own time, Like you're like oh.
Dominic:
I'm not mad I'm just disappointed.
Ryan:
Yeah, exactly, yeah. Yes, I Feel bad for him. I really hope that that was like the end, because it seems like nobody on the internet took lightly to that. They were just like oh, that was yeah, so what he said.
Dominic:
This is really disappointed. This is a special night.
Ryan:
This is a really disappointing yeah that's, you know what it is, what it is. But but honestly, can we just, is it too much to just hire a like three big guys, not let people jump up there?
Dominic:
That's really concerning for like the safety of the people up there. He's up there right.
Ryan:
Right, yeah, they go up there and slap the host in the face. Yeah, what if Sam like got like punched in the face because he's not making Alan wake for whatever I don't know. I would feel bad because like I feel, like I like his accent and like I feel like no harm should come to that man. Same Lake. Is that the head developer of remedy? Yeah?
Josh:
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Ryan:
So, max, pain Is that? Oh wait, he's not pain space. In the first game, they make a joke out of it in Alan wake. Oh my god, there's a joke in Alan wake where there's like a Alan wake goes on a talk show, yeah, and then Sam Lake is like the next guest, or he was like the previous like. All right, we'd like to thank our guests Alan wake and Sam like do the face again and he does the Max pain face. I don't even remember that. I can't wait to play through that game again. Yes um, max, pain is not a good game, but, everybody, you should play Alan wake because it's a great one. Yes, and the new ones coming out. That was also a games come along with starfield, but we're not gonna talk about that right now. Hey, josh, can you Get the bucket? I should have prepared for this because it's buried under a bunch of shit. All right, all right, right to your right. So to my right to your right. Yeah, oh, okay, that works Good enough. Thank you, oh okay. We're playing sound by its ladies and gentlemen. Oh my god. If you're out there in Shatland, feel free to play along with us while we go through these. This we're gonna be. Basically, I'm gonna play a sound and the first one to guess it gets the point. Okay, so I actually Don't have my spreadsheet up, so I'm just gonna and remember, if you guess once we're, it's new rules. If you guess once, you're out, if you're wrong sure sure, that's fair. Right, and this one was put together by Mod Tones, aka Logan, so Logan will not be playing. He will be telling us who is right or wrong. I have the board up in front of me. I have not listened to them yet, so I apologize if they are too loud or too quiet. If anyone wants to, let me know. So prepare your ears. So I'm gonna have Ryan, josh, dom. All right, are you guys ready for the first one? Let's do it here. We oh, what's the Logan? What's the? What's the theme? Comedy, movies, comedy. Okay, so we just got to say the movie.
Josh:
Yes.
Ryan:
Okay, josh, you ready, I'm ready. I'm sorry, I was putting his arm back on. His other arm fell off. Oh geez, here we go.
Josh:
Well, sir, I feel like a Like a slice of butter Melton on top of the big old pile of flapjacks.
Dominic:
Your dick, my mouth oh.
Ryan:
What's up like is this movie.
Dominic:
I've heard this line before.
Ryan:
All right, do I gotta play it again, or do we got to guess it? This one was kind of long. I.
Dominic:
I Really don't have anything either.
Logan:
Actor. I'll give you the actor that did the scene. He's only in this one scene, it's Bill Hader.
Ryan:
Here we go one more time.
Josh:
I feel like a slice of butter.
Dominic:
Oh, I'm talking pineapple express.
Ryan:
There. It is yes In the beginning, right, yes, yes, okay I.
Logan:
Try not to make it super easy. There's they're all funny moments in the movie. You should be able to get all of them, I'm confident.
Josh:
All right, all right, here we go, josh.
Ryan:
I think, because we got a hint, it should be a half point.
Logan:
All right, half point, I'll take a half every cool.
Ryan:
That right. I don't think I have point.
Logan:
I dump on it all of you through the first round.
Ryan:
Yeah, great, I have a feeling I'm gonna be absolutely trash at the rest of these.
Logan:
No, no no, no, no here we go.
Dominic:
What an idiot cooked this game.
Josh:
You hungry, hey, ma we get some meatloaf wedding crashers yes, oh, fuck Bingo.
Ryan:
Another one word. He's in the one scene. Great, fantastic. All right, here we go. Number three Okay flaming dragon fuckface.
Logan:
First take a big step back and literally.
Ryan:
Tropic Thunder.
Logan:
Yes, pan Pacific bullshit, power play. You're trying to play Asia Jack is my territory.
Josh:
So, whatever you think, you'd better think again, otherwise I'm gonna have to head down there and I will rain down on a godly fucking firestorm upon you.
Ryan:
You're gonna have to call the fucking United Nations and get a fucking binding resolution to keep me from fucking destroying you. All right, we're gonna get a suggestion gaming's YouTube channel demonetized. No no all right, here we go.
Logan:
Number 34 Three the chickens have large.
Ryan:
Napoleon dynamite yes I shit talons.
Logan:
I don't understand.
Josh:
That was number four, yet yeah well yeah, you got the first.
Ryan:
We have 14 of them. Look at you, my tones. Yes, all right, here we go. Number five I think he wants to communicate the mask yes, oh man, I recognize that boy.
Logan:
Oh man inevitably loud, it's a.
Ryan:
Geez, all right, cool, all right, I'm coming on. You gotta step up. You gotta get your 90s and 2000s comedy movies up.
Dominic:
I am fine.
Ryan:
Napoleon dynamite. I was just faster, that's true. We're at number six now.
Josh:
Yeah, you too.
Ryan:
You look pretty. What did you say? I said you look shitty. Good night, denise. Oh, hot rod. Yes, yes, I love that movie. It's so good. What is that movie? I don't know that. You've never seen hot rod.
Logan:
You need to watch hot rod right now play again.
Ryan:
It's so funny, it's so fucking funny. Same one, it's same one, look pretty what did you say? I said you look shitty. Good night, denise. Oh geez, score update it's three to half to two to zero. All right, number seven.
Josh:
Fascist, I beg your pardon. System of government characterized by extreme dictatorship. Seven across. Oh, I see it's fascism.
Ryan:
Fascist. Now we've put you in the castle sweet Bernard will escort you up there.
Josh:
Well, actually. I could probably make my own way up hag I beg your pardon. Evil old woman considered frightful. Oh.
Ryan:
It's not hot fuzz, is it hot fuzz? Oh man, you know, I've only seen a movie two times.
Josh:
I've actually never seen it.
Ryan:
It's decent good old Simon Pegg.
Logan:
It's, it's good. It's a big shot of the dead fan but I'm never seen hot. It's very much UK humor Comedy, but it's, it's pretty good.
Ryan:
I was just like oh dude, I only know. Okay, here we go. Numbers now seven, so number eight. That's the only thing I jerk off in here. I've been dropping loads around this fucking house like a goddamn dump truck. You don't come on my stuff, I'll come with you.
Josh:
Fuck, I want James, I'll fucking come on your kitchen, oh, come on your own, right on you.
Ryan:
Wish you come on me right now. So the only movie I could think of is this is the end.
Logan:
Yes.
Ryan:
Is it really? Yeah, oh my god. Yeah that was a total shot in the dark. Yep, it sounded like Danny. Mcbride, but I could yes, it is. Danny McBride, I couldn't place the movie. Yeah, oh man, that was great. All right, so there is no number nine, by the way, so we're going to number 10. No, okay, hotel yeah, pretty much, here we go.
Logan:
Oh my god.
Ryan:
Tommy boy yes. You ever see Tommy boy dumb all because.
Dominic:
I don't think I've seen any of these movies besides Napoleon Dynamite in the mass. Well, you've seen the it's so good.
Josh:
That's like the oldest movie here, so like you've seen 1990s movies.
Ryan:
If you've seen, the mass comes to Patty Wagon a lot of older movies. Good old Chris Farley man.
Josh:
Wisconsin zone yes.
Ryan:
Yes, all right, number 11. I can sense a dumb comeback coming by the way.
Josh:
All right, I just feel it feel it everybody's been real nice.
Ryan:
Well, that's because you have big jugs, I mean your boobs are huge.
Josh:
Oh, I mean my liar. I want to squeeze us.
Ryan:
Yes, my mom just watch that movie too, you that? That scene I was almost gonna say what's the one where he's got the split personalities me, myself and Irene. That's what I was, yeah. That's what I was thinking too, because of the when he's going to check out and yes and yeah, anyways, all right.
Logan:
All right number where he can't lie, which is why he yes what he said.
Ryan:
Yeah, all right, it's good movie, tommy's watch it. Sure, all right, number 12.
Josh:
You had sexual intercourse with a co-worker on top of the produce that we sell to the public.
Logan:
I fucked it with a past-nip last week 10 family with small children.
Ryan:
I was gonna say I think that was dumb.
Logan:
I'm gonna give it a dumb.
Dominic:
I've seen that movie. I.
Ryan:
Would not have known it if it wasn't Seth McFarlane doing that voice. Yeah, I Knew it when he said you fucked her on the In the back room yeah, in the produce. Yeah, that's what gave it away. All right, what are we on 13, 12, 13? 13 to my left.
Logan:
You look like an avocado had sex with an older, more disgusting avocado? Yeah, not.
Ryan:
The holy shit, that was so fast.
Logan:
There was something wrong with the relationship.
Dominic:
Okay, didn't this guy who's talking like fall off really? Yes, he certainly did.
Ryan:
TJ Miller. Yeah, because he got mad. He got drunk and he got mad at a woman on a train and called in a bomb threat. Oh yeah, so he's not with. That's why he was not in Deadpool 2. What the fuck Interesting. Yeah, sure, all right, with two more sounds left. Here's the score update. This was the last one. No, there's, we have 14 and then 15. Oh, so yeah. There were four yeah cuz there was no nine. Two, three, four, five for me and a half for Josh and one for them. What in a half you have five and a half. You beat me by half a point.
Josh:
Wow, close, probably this is my best ever performance ever.
Ryan:
Just asked my wife Number 14. Later get back to work testers.
Dominic:
That was actually same time.
Ryan:
Adios, turd nuggets. So good, oh, oh. Who gets it? Who does dude be both get a point, or do neither of us get a point? I think we give it to them Shit. Alright, pressures on. So, josh, if I get this right, I beat you by half a point. If Dom gets it, you beat me by half point. If I get it, I beat you by point half. Yes, all right, here we go, all right.
Dominic:
Here we go.
Josh:
Fuck, here we go. Hi, sorry, I'm in a community watch program and what boy you're out, fuck, oh, all right, played again.
Logan:
Yeah, dude, all right, whoop shit.
Josh:
Hi, sorry, I'm in a community watch program and Okay, he's, he's gone.
Ryan:
Sounds like Anna Ferris. This one's now for 10 points, and no, it's not cuz. If I don't guess, I win by default. Shit, alright, dom. What do you think?
Dominic:
We just got a like Ex me off. I don't know this at all wait, can we get a hint?
Ryan:
and for half a point, well, I guess. So I'm out, though. Right, you're out.
Logan:
Yeah, the hint Adam Sandler's in it.
Ryan:
Okay, so it was Adam Sandler. Oh, that's your hint. Um, was there a movie? I think that's Anna Ferris, but I can't think of a movie that they were in together, so I could be way off on the Anna Ferris post.
Josh:
Post is no cheating oh.
Dominic:
Man, I can't, I can't watch program 51st dates.
Logan:
Yes, very more Okay. Yes, drew Ray Moore, okay.
Ryan:
It's okay, I would have been wrong second time too. I was gonna say Billy Madison. No, that was not Billy Madison, no, I just all because of the voice that makes sense.
Josh:
Yeah, okay, so I got my half a point back.
Ryan:
So I'm on, even you beat you beat me by a full point at the end of the game. Josh.
Dominic:
Good job, Dom I participated.
Ryan:
You participated. Well, I'm sorry, I I sometimes it's the, you know I just you gotta, you gotta win, you know you can't.
Dominic:
I enjoy the old man reminiscing about their past movies.
Ryan:
I'm just like if this was like newer stuff, I would have 100% failed and look like. But like, what are you gonna do these days like episodes of euphoria?
Logan:
Like yeah, there's that many great household comedies that are coming out.
Ryan:
I mean Like just do episodes of I think you should leave because that's the only and my daughter watched that for the first time last night and when she like I don't get this at all, all right, Just before we all are real quick. If you like, I think you should leave. Definitely watch Detroiters. It was a Tim Robinson show before. I think you should leave and it's fantastic. I think it's one of the best written television shows of all time. Go ahead. What? What if I Like? What if I don't like? I think you should leave. But I also like, don't hate it. Then you'd probably like Detroiters because it's a sitcom, so like it's not, it's not as a reverent, but it's um, it's Sam Richardson and Tim Robinson, sure, and those two work off of each other so well. It's really good it was. It was, I think, two seasons, but it's fantastic. Definitely watch it. I think it's on who, okay, okay, I'll check it out. Um, just, kevin Nash is in one episode. Yes, he plays, he plays Tim's dad. It's perfect. Okay, spoiler alert.
Josh:
Oh, my god, it's not a spoiler?
Ryan:
Oh yeah, it is no, sir, because then I won't be surprised. While we're on this tangent, Can I give a josh bachard portable handheld update? Yes, please do. I got another one, so I Finally got my analog pocket. Um, I've had it on pre-order for ages now, and what's cool about this is not only so, it's an FPGA, it's a fully programmable gator, a. So it's not an emulator per se, it actually like replicates original hardware. But what's cool about it is that, right, there is my copy of Pokemon from when I was a kid. It actually has a Slot for Gameboy, gameboy Color and Gameboy Advance games, so you could pop that shit in. Does it? You said it does emulating and stuff too. It does emulating as well. So I've got you know super nintendo games and stuff on here, but also it's just, it's just playing pokemon from when I was a kid, which is super cool.
Logan:
That's pokemon.
Josh:
Sorry, yeah, so that's my drawing, is that, is that?
Ryan:
the. Is that the thing you recommended to me for, uh, one of our listeners? No, that was. So. That was a mister Um, which is very similar. Okay, uh, wait, no, no, no, I don't remember. I recommended multiple things. Yeah, you did that's, that's right. This is. They call this a boutique device because the screen is literally, I think, like 1400p. Oh, like this. The screen is incredible overkill.
Josh:
Yes, absolutely.
Ryan:

Ryan:
Papa fund. But anyways, you guys that are listening right now, you can get 50 extra entries with this code that I'm about to rattle off to you. So write this down. I'll give you a second. If you're listening to the podcast on Spotify or wherever, you're gonna have your own separate little code so you can't use the live stream code. There's also a code for the YouTube replay, so you can actually use this code three times if you've never listened to the show before. So you can listen, use this code, or on YouTube and Spotify. So the live code or the code that you can use, whatever media you're listening to. Write this down is gonna be R to you six J nine D four. R to you six J 9d4. So enter in that code On our giveaway page and you'll get 50 extra entries, which is kind of a big boot. Actually it's not 50, I think, it's like 30 or something but you get a bunch of entries. I want to point out to a lime blossom in the chat. Our buddy lime said hashtag sponsored. I don't know if that was a joke, but just to be clear to the FCC, that was not a sponsored ad, because it was sponsored by me. Way to clarify. It's important. That's have to make sure that FCC, they'll get on you man, so excellent. Yeah, by the way, if you don't win the system and you still want one of these awesome machines, you can go to darkfusion systemscom. Make sure you mention bucket bytes and you'll get a hundred and fifty dollars off of your build, which is actually a lot of money. So we and the cool thing again we are, yes, posted and the cool thing is, like, even if you don't Want to build, or don't have the means or don't have the need to build a machine as powerful as the one we're giving away, henry at Darkfusion and the team there will work with you to build a PC to your needs. So if you're like because, again, these are very small PCs, so it's perfect for something like a, you know, like a separate office or like a home theater Media Center or anything like that, like I have a dark fusion system and I've talked about this before that I just use, as you know, connected to my TV, to play games in my living room. It's not as powerful as my main rig, but it's nice just to have there for when I want to play my steam library on my TV. So, definitely, even if you're like I was thinking about getting a PC, I didn't win the one reach out to them. They'll work with you and, you know, build something that you need and will work for you. Yeah, you'll get exactly what you want and save some money.
Josh:
Absolutely. Yeah tell them. We said yeah.
Ryan:
Henry is the best. I just saw him at shakers last week Doxing. We live in Milwaukee. There's not a that's sure that's a, it's a big enough city. Um, I Feel like we should change gears a little bit. We've been talking a lot about games. Let's talk a little bit because we bounce around a little bit. I'd like to maybe do a little bit of like health, wellness Type stuff, and I know, logan's, you've been really looking forward to talking about some stuff, so I'm gonna give you the floor.
Logan:
Sure. So the first one I wanted to talk about was, I mean, I myself I'm sure all of you Listening and the host here struggle with getting things done. There is a woman who is a New York bestseller and has come out with an amazing book and she's got lots of different avenues as far as, like podcasts and, like I said, her book, just help improvement and getting stuff done. And something that she kind of coined, if you will, is called the five-second rule, where Research has shown it all the time. You can.
Ryan:
I'm sorry to you.
Logan:
You actually talk yourself out of doing tasks within the first five seconds of you thinking about it, like, oh, I have to do the dishes or I have to, oh, I gotta do homework. In the first five seconds you can actually mentally talk yourself out of it. So the five-second rule that she talks about is, instead of it being a Thing where you kind of talk yourself out of it, you count down from five, kind of like a countdown for, like you know something being lift off, you know like a rocket, you go five, four, three, two, one. As soon as you think about what you want, you just do it within those five seconds and you'll get it done, because what that does is kind of like a starting ritual for kind of like the front part of your prefrontal cortex to awaken that to do the things that you want to do, because we get in these like loops of just not doing stuff. So the big thing is, as soon as you do that, think of something that you need to do, countdown from five to one and just do it. Interesting so it's a simple concept.
Ryan:
It is a simple kind, but it's. It's one of those things where it's just like but where does the motivation come in right?
Logan:
But you, you put it in the front part of your brain, showing like, oh, that needs to get done. Obviously, if you're doing something else and something you know comes up, you're like, oh, I should do that. Obviously, focus on the current task that you're working on right like laying on the couch and eating chips well, I. Everything has to have Structure and priority. You know everyone needs to have the downtime, but if it's something that you know that you need to do and you could do it right now, especially if it takes you ten minutes or A half an hour or whatever, and you have the time Do the countdown and do it.
Ryan:
So it is interesting like that yeah, you don't let it leave. You know, right, the content.
Logan:
Yeah you don't let it. You talk yourself out of it because you want to do something else or it's gonna suck. You know what I mean. You just count down and go, go ahead ask a question.
Ryan:
Yeah, so what if you have massive brain rot, like I do in, suffer in, like, have ADD and stuff, and you know your brain doesn't take the time to think of counting to five? Like, for example, I'm going to go do the dishes, but on the way going to do the dishes I see that my stove is dirty. So I clean my stove instead and then, oh crap, now I'm out of paper towel. So now I got to go, like, replace my paper towel. Oh shit, now my cabinet's not organized. So now I'm organizing my paper towel thing like, how does, how does?
Logan:
like that.
Ryan:
Like me, fix it with that.
Logan:
I would say have a handy notebook and write down the extra things. Don't worry about doing it like. You have to train your brain to go. That's something I have to do later. I will write it down. Have a little notepad, or like on your kitchen counter if you're walking through, or even on your phone. You have your phone everywhere, right? You have a running list of things that you know you need to do. You're like you have to mentally train yourself. Not now, not now. I have to do that thing that I want to do and then move on to the next thing. Yeah because it's less effective. If you go from one thing to another thing, to another thing, you never actually finish the original task that you want to do.
Ryan:
Yeah, so Lime blossom in our twitch chat. He said blues, clues blues.
Logan:
Resignate so hard. My kids watch so much blues. It's not funny like no I.
Ryan:
But like I agree with what you're saying and I think it's a good point. I think Like the hard part. I may I'm not the right person to really like advertise this to. I don't think like that's hard. I'm never gonna take the time to sit there and write shit down like that.
Logan:
It's all about training and discipline. You know you can make excuses for yourself, but truly, if you want to get shit done, yeah, you got to train yourself, make it a habit. It takes three weeks to make something. I have it right, so you just have to be like. This is how I want to change, how my daily you know my day, my day-to-day is oh.
Ryan:
That's a fun little challenge. I Was just gonna say like, do it and this is for three weeks, and see yeah, and see in the report back. Should we all come right?
Logan:
like right things oh the one right now. Sure, I Mean it doesn't have to be, yeah, the way you think, right, right, and these are all. Keep in mind, this is a Health and wellness. So it's like none of these things that you do are gonna be easy, or else everyone would do it, everyone would get their shit done. Everyone had would have their life together. Not very few people have their life together 100%, so this is just a small easy tip to Get your shit done. I mean, I'm not, I'm not coming from a stance that I do perfect myself all the time. It's just something that I know, that I constantly strive to be the best that I can, and it's something that I've started doing and it's helped. So I just the kid felt sharing it is Beneficial that's great, that's great.
Ryan:
Can I? Can I make mine, cuz I clearly like, if you look at me, I, I, I don't, I don't. I clearly lack discipline. Would going to the gym count as something, or is this kind of like more?
Logan:
small. No, no, it can be going to work out, because if you're like, Always talk myself out of going to work out exactly.
Ryan:
Yeah, exactly the point. I always talk myself out of it.
Logan:
So you're doing your tasks, whatever if you have, if you do it after dinner or whatever. In the back of your mind you know when that time is and it comes to your brain of saying, oh I should, this is a perfect time to go to the gym. Count down from three to one, so I get and change and head out the door. Just do it exactly, lime.
Ryan:
Okay, yeah, but we're not sponsored by Nike, so we don't say that in my chat, please. We need an alternative like just enact your plan.
Logan:
And this, this woman if you want to look her up, like I said she's she's got a website where she's got other podcasts that go over mindset, confidence, motivation, relationship advice, business and careers. One of the interesting things that she coined I saw also Just looking through her stuff was the Let them theory. So it kind of bases around. Like you know, if you struggle with having FOMO or you get jealous if you see friends going out and doing something or you see someone do something the way that you wouldn't want them to do, you just let them, because at at the end of the day, you're essentially kind of causing yourself more emotional distress, energy spent. If you just, to any of those situations you just say let them, because you can't control it right, they're just gonna do what they're gonna do. If your friends are gonna go all hang out and go get food together, that's what they're gonna do. It's just kind of as it is. It's kind of like a it is what it is type of thing. So you just let them. You're not wasting any energy on Worrying or being upset like why didn't they invite me? Is this something I did, you know? Or if someone handles certain way, it's like am I not Giving them enough initiative on something. It's just you can't control them, so you just have to be Understanding and just say let them do whatever they're gonna do. Obviously, if it's a work environment and you're in more of a management role, that's a different situation, but more like in personal life experience stuff. So, like I said, she's got lots of different things that she goes over and she's got a lot inside her. Her name is Mel Robbins.
Ryan:
So what if I open my mouth before I count to five?
Logan:
You're just trolling now. You're just trolling, no, I mean, okay, I kind of, I kind of I kind of I kind of I kind of I kind of.
Ryan:
I kind of, I kind of was trolling. You're trolling, I'm calling.
Logan:
At least you're admitting it. You know there's a, there's a bit of a, you know. Okay, I'm sorry, I go for the cheap. Laugh, I go. I go for the cheap laugh.
Josh:
I'm sorry, but at the same time.
Ryan:
That was rooted in some truth, though I have an issue with not filtering like shit pops in my brain and I say it before it's gone.
Logan:
Right, and all you have to do is it's one Adderall oh wait, I think for that honestly sponsored by Adderall.
Josh:
Right.
Logan:
Well, with that, with that, it's just a matter of training yourself. As you are your biggest critic, you are your worst enemy on doing certain tasks, especially if it's speaking out of turn, whatever. It's just a matter of training yourself to think twice before you speak. You know what I mean. Like, if you have something good to say, is it merit to what the conversation is? If it's a group of people or whatever, don't you know, immediately just throw something out.
Ryan:
It's kind of like the social equivalent to measure twice cut wants.
Logan:
Correct. Yeah, I would say that's a good Okay. Yeah, cause you cause. It's not always a guarantee what you're going to say is beneficial to the conversation or to the situation at hand, especially if it's in a kind of emotional, rational thought too. You know what Need your thing in the moment. You know you might say things that you don't actually mean, but you just have to get it out because it just popped in your brain and you're in an irrational state.
Ryan:
That's me on the daily. I feel targeted. I feel so targeted hey.
Logan:
I mean part of being self aware is something that you can improve on, if that's something that, you struggle with.
Ryan:
That's true, it's part of being an adult, really, yeah, I like I'm not. I don't mean this in a joking way, but I'm going to try so hard to like. This is not. This is crossing two, two things. But if I want to say something, I'm going to count to five and then if I don't feel like I need to say it anymore, I'll let it go. Just don't do it on this podcast, Cause count, count from five.
Josh:
I was going to say it doesn't work here, so post how's your day.
Ryan:
All the podcast listeners did not get that joke, that's okay.
Logan:
I think with that is part of that is just knowing that you want to be positive. Being a positive person, not being like well today is crap or whatever. Like staying positive and focusing on the, the bright things, the silver lining, is a huge thing, especially when, if things are continuously bad or you're having a bad week or whatever the case may be, you're going through a hard patch is just try to stay positive and find the, the, the little things that make a day worth. You know, enjoying that day and the next day and the next day and taking every day day by day. Don't focus on, well, this whole week has been shit. It's like, well, what things happened? How can you make the day like tomorrow, that next, the best possible day? I know it sounds super like, yeah, I'm going to quit my job and I'm going to fly to France and I'm going to have a great time. It's like, not like that, but like there was my friends, people.
Ryan:
I'm just going to punch people. What?
Dominic:
What Not with the French people Fuck?
Josh:
you my last name? Yeah, he literally grows in In like a country.
Logan:
I'm so jealous.
Dominic:
So I'm so jealous of that, so French it's not even funny.
Ryan:
Oh man, there's a, there's a class for existential, existential. Can't even say that existential, existential.
Dominic:
No, but you got to say what my said Existential the decision yeah.
Josh:
Existential is existentialism.
Ryan:
There you go, I got to say it slower, because that's that's kind of a hardware, to say Existential. So I'm curious, were you guys able to think of anything like mine Mine's going to be going to Jim because I don't like my daughter wants to go with me and like like that's something that we fell off of.
Josh:
Yeah.
Ryan:
We kind of fell out of that once, summer kind of hit. So I think life back up is good.
Logan:
Well, yeah, you get busy. There's plans. You know you want to enjoy yourself.
Ryan:
Now you're making me, now you're talking me out of everything. You're doing my brain work for me. No, no, no, no, no.
Logan:
I'm just saying don't be too hard on yourself is all I'm saying. You're still supposed to enjoy life and your life's not supposed to be a big discipline of like a regiment of this, this this See, you got to be positive man. You have to retrain your brain to think positively, positive.
Dominic:
Yeah, I'm going to start using this to get out of bed in the morning.
Logan:
Yeah, it's a very small thing with, sometimes when you think I need to get out of bed and then count down from five and just and then fall back asleep.
Josh:
No no, no, get up.
Logan:
Yes, okay.
Dominic:
I mean, that's what I want to work on.
Ryan:
All right, that's a good one, don't I think a good one with that one is just train yourself not to hit snooze. Yeah, that's the big one, Just just or like.
Logan:
well, I won't keep your alarm clock where you can't reach it from your bed. Yeah, that's.
Ryan:
That's a big one.
Logan:
Put it in the back.
Ryan:
I've heard that before. If you get out of bed, it's so much easier.
Dominic:
Oh yeah, that makes sense.
Ryan:
Yeah, so, but yeah, I hate reading chat, it's because it's true. So, okay, josh, did you? Were you able to think of anything like that? You think like, hey, we could check up on this in a couple of weeks, or? I actually do so. And it's SG related, actually, where I do find myself a lot of the time where I put off like I know I have like 8000 different things for SG and I'm just like I'm just going to watch this YouTube video or watch this episode of whatever and I'll do it after, and then that episode's over. I'm like, oh well, maybe after this one. You know so, instead of instead of that kind of falling into that procrastination loop, it's like all right, if I know I have to, either, you know, work on this script or edit this section of this video, whatever it is like the moment I think about it.
Logan:
I'll do the countdown and honestly, you'll feel rewarded after you be like hey, I did it, Like I probably wouldn't have done it without this. Yeah, my problem is is.
Ryan:
I will literally just wait until, like, I am two days away from deadline and just cram it and I'm always like, oh well, I work well under pressure, that's why I do it, but it's like, no, it would be so much better if I. I'd probably have so much more hair if I just got things done early. So yeah right, don't say anything, tom, shut up. Shut up, tom. I saw that smile. That smile said more words than you needed to say Okay, cool. So mine is go to the gym three days a week. Josh is just do it. Stop prescribed, proudly, stop prescribed. I can't even talk.
Dominic:
My language is intimidating.
Ryan:
I just my legs, I can't All right Thursday post, Remember you got to work tomorrow. No, I'm Paul, and then don't tell my coworker. Oh, that was a joke, that eyebrow. All right, tom, what do you got?
Josh:
Wait, then I already say, yeah, just going to wake up in the morning. Okay, all right, logan.
Ryan:
Yeah, I get motivated out of bed. You can't just give us the assignment and not have one too.
Logan:
Well, I do it forever. Literally everything sounds like he's already in acting this and it's honestly a more beneficial thing, especially when you're not to say that I'm going through a tough time right now. But when things get tough, it's hard to even do simple tasks. If it's like self care, like just simple, as like brushing your teeth brushing your teeth Literally. I was literally thinking that is because you're like, oh, I'll just do it in the morning. You know, especially when you're had a tough day and your brains just fried, it's a simple task.
Josh:
There's another one Doing doing dishes after you finished dinner.
Ryan:
Oh, that's easy for me, oh, that's easy for you All right, I hate having dishes and I also have a dishwasher, so that I have to. I have to go to the Tim Cook more.
Dominic:
Also, since I have school now, homework is probably going to be something I use that method for.
Ryan:
Well, we're checking in in three weeks, so we'll have an episode next week, no episode the following week, and then we'll have one the week after and we'll check in on it then. I think so nice, got any other health and wellness for us, logan?
Logan:
Yes, the other one that I wanted to kind of go over was have you guys ever heard of people jumping in like doing ice baths or cold showers?
Ryan:
Yeah, kevin Hart right, does he have that show?
Dominic:
Oh, yes, he's had that show.
Logan:
Yeah, yes, yes, he does have the show, but it's more than just that. It has to do kind of. There's a guy that kind of really pioneered the whole process. He's like from Sweden or something. I can't remember where he's from, but they call him the ice man. He was on a Gwyneth Paltrow show before yeah. Like it's not going to Paltrow, like he's made pretty big waves. I might butcher his name but it's, I think, wim Hof, wim Hof and he basically embodied this whole thing of cold exposure, training and meditation and he kind of goes into detail about. Can I pause?
Ryan:
for a quick second.
Logan:
Yeah, what kind of meditation, Just basically. I guess you could almost compare it to like yoga meditation.
Ryan:
So not like transcendental or anything in that.
Logan:
No.
Ryan:
No, okay.
Logan:
Nope, nope, just like regularly. Yeah, like yoga is the best way I can describe it More focused on the cold exposure aspect, because it's got so many different benefits, obviously like the big one that Kevin Hart tries to push for. What it kind of seems like is the inflammation it's like they have, like this locker room, looking feel to the where they do their little episodes or whatever. Obviously, that's what a lot of sports people use it for.
Ryan:
I've seen this. I'm sorry Continue.
Logan:
No, you're good, yeah, so a lot of sports people use it for the inflammation benefit. But the big thing that a lot of people have been pushing for over the last probably two years now is, on average, getting yourself submerged to your neck for like a span of over a week. You stay submerged for 11 minutes, so it's not a full 11 minutes at one time, it's breaking out over an entire week. You don't really want to go beyond that threshold. Start off doing 30 seconds for a week or two and then building, you'd build up the tolerance to be able to stay in longer. So you'd stay in for two, two and a half minutes at a time Would probably be the max, because you don't actually want to get exposed too much to the cold.
Dominic:
So would you like add 30 seconds every time?
Logan:
Every few weeks, yeah, every few, yeah, but yeah, the big benefits really is surprisingly is your overall just mood and your mental health actually get increased quite a bit, because it's like a two times dopamine through your body after you do it. It's like a cash flow. Am I trying to push forward? So what's that?
Ryan:
I was going to say, does it differ from going like doing cryo training? They got these cryo chamber things that you stand in where your head sits out the top and then you sit in it for like 10 or 11 minutes it's like every time it's the same thing.
Logan:
Yeah, it might be. It might be Just without ice and water.
Josh:
You're just in a cry.
Ryan:
I'm wondering how this compares to something like isolation chambers, like floating, where I wonder how much of it is the meditation and how much of it is the cold.
Logan:
Because a lot of it's the cold, because for at least the cold shock aspect it kind of gives cold shock proteins so it strengthens your immune system, which is really really helpful on that standpoint. But the other part that's really interesting is the benefit for anxiety and depression is because it's like a anti-depression type of initiates a fight or flight, like sequence if you will, and you kind of build up this resilience by forcing yourself to stay in that and a lot of people with anxiety because when you get in cold water you breathe faster, it's kind of like having an anxiety attack. But when you force yourself to sit in that cold environment and just deep breathe and kind of just sit in the ice and the cold water I should say not the ice it helps build up that tolerance so you can actually build up kind of like I wouldn't say immunity, but it just helps you with that. Yeah, like kind of normalize what you feel during an anxiety attack, that's interesting, right, and it quite literally initiates that fight or flight because you're dropping yourself in such ice cold water.
Dominic:
It's because it, like, shocks the body right, right.
Ryan:
Yeah Well, yeah, because I mean when you go into hypothermia it's a very similar situation. So this is like kind of almost bringing you on the brink of that Right.
Logan:
Yep, huh, yeah. So a lot of people have been buying really big like animal feed troughs you can get at you know different outdoor stores but there's all been a lot of companies that have been creating these easy like fabric, pvc type, super movable, really easy to ship. It's become a lot more available for people to get into it.
Ryan:
Now were you saying that this is something people should do weekly, daily?
Josh:
I missed that because daily, over the course of a week, so where do you get all the like?
Ryan:
I feel like that's such a lot of trips to the gas station.
Logan:
Well, you tip you. I mean the water. If you're in a cold climate, it won't be bad. There's a lot of people in the Midwest that will literally come out with a sledgehammer to their, because if it's such a big area, yeah the entire thing won't freeze. It's the top layer and you have to hammer break that ice on the top level and then you submerge yourself in.
Ryan:
Okay, but okay. It's the middle of summer, it's literally 100 degrees 100 degrees. Yeah, right, right.
Logan:
So water from you know, if you have a well or from your city, water is generally going to be pretty cold, but a lot of people find it's pretty easy to cool it down by getting like, um, like sandwich bags and filling them up, freezing them, and you just chuck those in there to help cool down the water even more. Or if you don't want, or if you if you want to start small, you can literally just do it a cold bath in your tub. If you have just a stand up shower, just do a nice shower. You just let the water literally run down your face, down your body and just and sounds like the worst experience.
Ryan:
I take super hot showers so that sounds like it works really really well.
Logan:
It really does.
Ryan:
Can I ask can you use the 55 degree, you know, just standard at water temperature, cold shower?
Logan:
Yeah, yeah. Trust me and yeah, if you do that for a minute and you turn the water off and you get out, you're going to trust me, you're going to feel so much more different from just a regular hot shower and get out. I swear to you, if you do it, you will feel a difference.
Dominic:
So it sounds like the pressing to do it for like the first time and you just go in the shower, you turn on the cold water. You just kind of like stand there.
Ryan:
I used to do it all the time after football, though I used to do it all the time after football. Yeah, because if it feels good, it does feel good. I just I've never. I've done the ice baths before, but never like on a daily and only for like five minutes. Never, never, really any longer than that. So that was also like 15 years ago.
Logan:
That's also another one that you do. The five second rule You're in the shower, you got everything done. You're like I should do the ice cold. You know shower before I get out. Five, four, three, two, put it to cold and stand in there and count to a minute or 30 seconds.
Dominic:
Like. Like we're talking about like max cold or we like building up just to get it. Yep, I'll do that tomorrow.
Ryan:
Okay, Just make sure you don't do it in front of your girlfriend, you know. George Kastan said, you'll have an episode of Seinfeld in your hands.
Josh:
I was in the pool.
Ryan:
That's adorable. Anyways, I don't know why I said that's adorable.
Josh:
That's, that's adorable, that's the thing, that's the thing. That's the thing.
Ryan:
No, that's that's. Those are Logan. Those were good. I like that. I think we're going to have a health and wellness section every episode, maybe, possibly I'm fine, good job.
Logan:
Now you once a month, you know once a month, we do have, we do cut.
Ryan:
now We'll see.
Logan:
Once every two weeks to do it once a month. I mean we can. We can definitely go into it once a week If you guys want to. It's, it's. There's lots of different things out there to help improve people's lives. So if I'm excited, if people want to hear more, let's do it.
Ryan:
Yeah, I'm, I'm, I'm definitely looking forward to following up with this in three weeks. So I Do, I do want to talk about Just well, I know it's kind of a jarring kind of transition, just going from health and wellness back to kind of gaming a little bit. But, josh, you want, you made a point that because a GE force now Like game play, game pass players don't even need a freaking PC anymore, yeah. So it was announced today that Nvidia GeForce now which I Think you need a separate subscription to yes, but they support PC game pass games now. So if you are a GeForce now subscriber and also have game pass, either ultimate or the PC version you can now play your game pass games on GeForce now without an additional purchase. So If you're a game, if you're thinking about like, oh hey, I want to try these games that are on PC game pass, but I don't have a nice PC and I didn't win one through bucket bites is giveaway, you could play it through GeForce now. You just have to have a subscription to both. I guess the accessibility games is insane. Well, but see, but it goes back to the same downfalls though I still cannot Like. If you're playing like a turn-based type game, I think that is fine, but any kind you can't play anything competitive on a dude.
Josh:
I can even Internet is and.
Ryan:
I have a steam deck, right. Yeah, I can't even stream from my local PC like over Wi-Fi like that. Yeah, like millisecond Difference is just if get some. I have if if you're in-house and you're doing it. Well, you're talking steam deck, so it has to be Wi-Fi. I was like, cuz I have the. They had the steam like the whole, the one that you could take by computer or whatever. Yes, what was that call? I forget what it was called, but they're giving away for free at one point.
Josh:
Yes, I got one too.
Ryan:
That actually worked, steam like late in late. Yeah, steam link, and it was almost latency free almost, but if that's if you're wired right, that was, if you're wired, only yes, correct.
Josh:
But I'm so hard, it was great like dude.
Ryan:
So if you, if you live in a over 100 year old house like I, do, like I'm not wearing this house with ethernet, I'm sorry, I don't. I don't blame you, I Don't blame you.
Josh:
I don't blame you at all, so.
Ryan:
Yeah, that's, that's actually pretty cool. That's pretty great it's. It's a cool partnership, right, like it seems like Microsoft is working like they worked with EA on access, like they're really working With other kind of subscription services to get this unity. No pun intended. Yeah, right, continue. I'm sorry, um, just to get this unity with game pass, like they're really trying to make game pass a valuable Investment. So I'm always happy to see that and I think it's cool, like for for folks who have a good enough throughput that can you?
Josh:
know, get minimal latency?
Ryan:
Yeah for sure. Uh, one thing you just reminded me of was because of the, the CMA or whatever. Uh, with the, whole acquisition thing. Yep, no see, whatever it was I don't remember what a second, I forget what it's called now, but because they're still having issues overseas there trying to get the merger to go through, um, they're. They're basically selling some of the streaming rights. Oh, maybe, maybe I got it backwards now, so don't don't quote me on it, even though you will. Um, but they're gonna be selling part of it to ubi soft. I believe it was really Uh, so I think it was either the streaming, the streaming service, or I gotta look it up real quick. I forget what it was now. Uh, ubi soft, not. Microsoft will control the streaming rights to Activision Blizzard games outside of the eu. Then it will license those games back to microsoft so they could use an xbox cloud gaming what the fuck? So Wait, so like, microsoft will own it, but they have to license their own stuff for cloud gaming through ubi soft.
Josh:
Yeah, that's like neflix being like we have to.
Ryan:
We have to like license stranger things through hbo max.
Josh:
It's really weird.
Ryan:
Yeah, right, so I just that you, you said, reminded me of that they that just came out yesterday, I think. Uh, that that came up. So, uh, hey, dom, do you want to wrap things up for us today, buddy?
Dominic:
Um. What do you mean with what?
Ryan:
Uh, I mean, I definitely didn't notice that you're sitting there talking to your girlfriend on your phone.
Josh:
Anyone, I was looking at pretty white news.
Ryan:
Nudes. Oh, is there any updates?
Dominic:
No, I was just looking at different tweets about them, gotcha.
Ryan:
Yeah, all right, p dude, Um, no, you, you want to some anime convention.
Dominic:
Oh yeah, um sorry, yeah. So I want to a superstar anime.
Ryan:
I'm sorry, I went to this convention.
Dominic:
No, I'm sorry I didn't pick up what you were saying to me.
Ryan:
No, you're good, You're good, you're good.
Dominic:
Oh yeah, so I went to this superstar anime convention that's the name of it, and if you look, it up on instagram, you might see a picture of me. Oh really, might I don't. I don't think I was posted this time, but at the last one I was, which was cool. What did you go at? Same costume, so no, um. So this one I went one day as noob Saiba from motor combat, oh yes. And then the next day, me and my girlfriend matched from characters, anime that we both watch. I've only watched one anime in my life and it was deaf note, so I dressed up as the main character of that and she dressed up as the girlfriend of that main character.
Ryan:
Misa was that her name Misa.
Dominic:
Yeah yeah, look at me go. Good job, that was great, did you win?
Ryan:
any? Did you win any cash in the contest?
Dominic:
No, I didn't even sign up for a contest. So, um, the voice actors there were amazing the original voice actor for Goku and the original voice actor for Vegeta. And the person who voiced Vegeta Also voiced a character in deaf note called Ryuk, which is the demon that follows light yagami around.
Ryan:
Yeah, uh, willem de foe, yeah, in the netflix remake, which was far superior, as we all know.
Dominic:
Wait, really what's that?
Ryan:
You never saw the.
Dominic:
The netflix heard about it but I didn't know willem de foe was in it. Willem de foe is ryuk. Yeah, that's funny. Yeah, uh, anyway, we met him and I had him do the Vegeta voice and the ryuk voice. It was great. My girlfriend got a signed deaf note from him, very cool, fine, it was great talking to the did he write it. Did he write her name in it?
Ryan:
Yeah, he wrote her name in the death note.
Josh:
Mm-hmm.
Dominic:
Well now I mean the front page. Sorry dumb, sorry rip, I know. So we went to a panel with him and stuff. They seemed very nice and it wasn't like anything spectacular, but it was cool meeting the voice actors again. I mean meeting the voice actors for the first time and I had another memorable experience talking to another like popular kind of person. So it was. It was always cool, um, I'm kind of disappointed in myself, though, because there was a character there Called Majin Buu. The voice actor for Majin Buu was there, and he's from Dragon Ball Z, of course, with the other Dragon Ball people there, you watched Dragon Ball.
Ryan:
Yes, that's an anime. Yeah, you said, you watched one anime, it was death note.
Dominic:
I haven't really like watched a full episode of Dragon Ball, though, if that makes any sense. Pokemons technically an anime too, so yeah, and I barely watched any pokemon as well, oh okay, have you watched cowboy bebop? No, like that's the most basic.
Ryan:
That's the like, the most basic anime ever.
Dominic:
I, I know that I, just I haven't watched, really good.
Ryan:
Got a? What? Well, fucking watch cowboy bebop, although that's me. I've never finished it, but I love it Because I want new. Have I gone into the spiel before? I'm sorry I'm I'm trampling over dom story. Go ahead, buddy.
Dominic:
So the main parts are watched from. Dragon Ball included a character called kid boo and a little bit of Majin Buu, and his voice actor was there and kid boo was one of my favorite characters when I was very tiny and I'm very disappointed in myself that I didn't go up to him Because I didn't want to like waste his time, because I didn't have like any money to spend.
Ryan:
Oh, adorable. I've had those moments at conventions so many times and I wasn't you didn't want to waste this time, or are you kind of like a little bit like nervous?
Dominic:
to meet him. I'm kind of like a mix of both, because I didn't. I didn't know I was going to buy anything from him and I was already kind of short on money that day, yeah, and I was like I should really. I really want to say hi to him, because this time I'm gonna trample, just to give my own experience.
Ryan:
I was at a c2e2 lunch the Chicago entertainment expo and um Jerry the king waller was there.
Dominic:
Oh, you've mentioned this before.
Ryan:
I have I been and I was like I can't, I can't talk to I like I can't meet Jerry the king waller, I can't. So I remember you telling this.
Dominic:
Yeah.
Ryan:
I completely understand.
Dominic:
Sorry, I like. Right next to the kid boo voice actor was the guy who voices hercule or mr Satan In dragon ball and he has like the funniest voice and like it. I just wanted to say hi to both of them but I didn't want to waste any time.
Ryan:
Was there anybody in line?
Dominic:
Not really. No, mr, for my kid boo and mr Herk sates, and that's the thing like they probably wouldn't mind.
Ryan:
It's not like you're taking up, you know, not like you're Standing in the way of paying customers. Yeah.
Dominic:
I mean goku and Vegeta. Their lines were long, of course. Well, like I didn't want to go up there and be like Hi, I really like your character. He's like oh, you're gonna buy something. I would have been like no.
Ryan:
Oh man, well good you had, you had a good time. Yeah, I mean, yeah I mean karaoke session.
Dominic:
Right At the convention they had a karaoke panel that anyone can go to and I'd say there was like the craziest mother fuckers there.
Ryan:
What'd you sing and.
Dominic:
I didn't sing my girlfriend saying what did she sing? She's saying A song from the little mermaid.
Josh:
Which one?
Dominic:
Um, I forgot the name of it, but it's the one where she's talking about wanting to, you know, like, be with the humans. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Ryan:
I remember the song, but I couldn't tell you what it was.
Dominic:
I, I don't know the name of it either, but there was this one dude who, like, was really popping off. He was getting on top of the stage, he was trying to hype up the crowd and stuff. I mean it was. Everyone was being very supportive. It was. It was nice. Yeah, that's. That's all I have for the convention.
Ryan:
Nice. That's good it's. It's nice when people come together and just support people. It's. You know, you don't see it enough out in the real world. So it's like I think I feel like you see that a lot at these conventions. Like I was gonna say, like conventions conventions are like one of the few places where it's like, it seems like, and of course there's outliers, but it seems like everybody just kind of gets along. There's no bullshit, it's just everybody's there to have fun and enjoy the things. They enjoy like it's right.
Dominic:
They're always such a good time whenever I go like people were singing along to the song, clapping to the song, I mean, it was, it was. It was good energy in there.
Ryan:
Yeah, I just have to ask Did you and your girlfriend get ice cream? Um that smile that smile is uh. That smile is a. It was a creamy night. He's like.
Josh:
He's like do you?
Ryan:
mean literally or figuratively? No, by this point he knows what you mean.
Josh:
That's awesome.
Ryan:
You don't gotta say anything now, it's okay.
