I'm one of your hosts, Greg Miller, alongside the man who owes me an apology. Snowbike Mike. Good morning and happy Monday, Greg Miller. We will kick off today's show with an apology. Hi, Greg. It's Mike. And also part, partly Roger, mainly Roger. Okay. He gave the green light. We apologize for breaking embargo on Friday and ruining the show. What about then in the buzz, you know, editing it together. So I look even worse. And then you have a half-assed apology from you and Roger at the end. A lot of people are saying that it was your fault, actually. No, I went into the YouTube comments on the buzz. And everybody, if you aren't aware on YouTube now, you can leave voice memos as response to comments. And I am fucking leaving voice memos all over the goddamn buzz. All right. This is the thing. Y'all over here are playing checkers in the chat. Your comments. I'm playing chess. Snowbike Mike comes out here on a stream we're doing. They're recording the buzz. Goes to reveal embargoed information. throws it to me and in my nanoseconds. So I like flash like speed. Y'all are fucking snails. I'm the flash. I go, well, if I say it's embargoed or redacted right now, lazy ass Roger and dumb ass Mike aren't going to edit into the buzz later. True. So then all week long, something that would have been revealed on Saturday would be, it's embargoed. It's embargoed. It's embargoed. Tainted. Just tank. So I powered through. Yeah, you did. Everybody saying I broke the embargo. You did it. You put me in an unwinnable situation. Sometimes they say it's winnable. Then Kevin Smith cancels. Unbelievable. Then the buzz goes out. Everybody's like, so clearly they're joking about him canceling. No, Kevin Smith really canceled. Not because of the embargo breaking, just because of his schedule. But no, do not expect Kevin Smith on the podcast tomorrow. I'm trying to get the fuck off the podcast. It was going to be a pre-reported podcast. I'm booked fucking just shit tomorrow. Nick can talk to whoever. Nick knows comedy people. Yeah, he'll talk. Nick, just call your brother. I don't know what's going on. Greg, how are you? I'm great. How are you, Mike? Happy Monday. Happy Monday. You're fighting through the cough again. You did well. You fought through that one, though. The cough is just that nagging beast that's around. I got the inhaler from the doctor. I got the antibiotics from the doctor. I feel way better. But I still occasionally go into this cough situation. And I still got it right up here. Not even the cough now. It's just the congestion up here. Week five of this fucking whatever this is. You know what I mean? weekend was great. Hung out with Ben, hung out with Jen. Can finally say it. Played way, just played more and more and more. Thank you, Barrett. Pocopia. Pocopia review today on Gamescast. Myself, Joey, and the big man, VGC.news' Jordan Midler. Whoa, nice. Talk about Pocopia.

That would be letting him off too easy. You know, I go by the Parrish Schneider method. I'll make his life a living hell. You know what I mean? He will regret everything he's ever done. And that's the thing is like when Roger came in here, I thought he was one of my guys. You know what I mean? But now he's got too big for his britches. Yeah. You know what I mean? Shave the head lost all this weight. Now I think he can just fucking run the shit. Who is this guy? I don't like him. One second. So Mike, Mike, taking him to a basketball game tonight. Is that the one? Andy wouldn't go to. Yeah. Andy. That's insane. I can't believe I'm bad. Hey, our friend got us box seats for the Warriors game.

I respect it. I'm going to be honest. Yeah, Barry, you would, of course. That's crazy. Maybe like saying the hot mulligans are playing, but everybody who's in the hot mulligans isn't there. Yeah. Great example. Really nailed that one. See the laugh still coughs. Let it out. And then how is it going? I'm Cohen says Mike is innocent in a super chat. That's a lie. Thank you. Mike fucked up and he knows he fucked up. I get a joke. I get a jokey apologies. Of course. Thank you. We couldn't do this without our producers on patreon.com slash kind of funny. So thank you, Carl Jacobs. Omega buster and Delaney, the Psalm twining for now. Let's begin the show with what is and forever will be the Roper report. Time for some news. Six items on the Roper report. Oh, Baker's dozen still just the one yeah is that you is that you we filmed the mix showcase you know on Friday and when we did the intro Justin was like are we not doing the fog machines and we're like no they're under the weather they feel like I sound you know what I mean number one on the Roper Report is a lengthy one but you got nowhere to be Sony's blue point pitched Bloodborne remake before closure. This is the one, the only Jason Schreier, the Shreier guy at Bloomberg. Last week, Sony announced the closure of Bluepoint Games, an Austin-based subsidiary behind acclaimed remakes like Demon's Souls and Shadow of the Colossus. Around 70 people will lose their jobs, although Sony is giving them opportunities to apply for positions at other studios within the organization. The decision came just five years after Sony purchased Bluepoint, a period during which the studio failed to release a game of its own how did sony executive herman holst go from writing in 2021 that blue points quote vast expertise in world building and character creation will be a huge plus for future playstation studios properties to shutting down the studio the answer is a little complicated parentheses sony declined to comment beyond the statement it sent last week following the purchase blue point continued its work helping sony's santa monica studio with the development of god of war ragnarok which released in 2022 after that the newly acquired playstation studio had ambitions to make its own game rather than co-developing or remaking games made by other companies at the time sony was all in on live service games games designed for continual monetization after launch one of those games would be blue point's first original title under playstation a live service game in the god of war franchise which the organization hoped could support several sequels and spinoffs, like its own smaller version of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Bluepoint began working on a game in which the character Atreus would fall into Hades, according to people familiar with the project. A loose idea was for players to control different versions or aspects of Atreus as they battled through Greek hell, and to have some sort of cooperative gameplay and ongoing support, although much of the game's design was in flux. It was an awkward fit for the studio, which hadn't released an original game since 2006 and had never tried to develop a live service game. Blue Point was a small team that mostly had expertise in art and engineering, not design. Developing a game that hooks players for the long haul is a challenge that even the most experienced studios have struggled to conquer. Some Blue Point staffers grumbled that they should be working on another traditional action game like Demon's Souls or God of War Ragnarok rather than a live service project that few of them seem to want to make. Even with the help from Sony Santa Monica, Bluepoint struggled to make much progress and spent several years floundering. In January 2025, Sony canceled the God of War live service game. When we broke the news, a company spokesperson told me that Sony was quote-unquote working closely with Bluepoint to determine its next project. There was one idea, Mike, that seemed perfect. bloodborne a gothic action game released in 2015 for playstation 4 developed by from software bloodborne is widely considered to be one of the greatest games ever made but its original release suffered from frame rate drops and other technical issues making it the natural fit for the blue point treatment fans had dreamed of a bloodborne remake for years and the idea had been strongly considered at one point and at one point was even expected within blue point but never entered production in early 2025. When blue point again pitched the idea of bloodborne remake, the studio was told that the numbers made sense, but from software didn't want it to happen. According to people familiar with the process, here's where it gets really spicy. Oh, former PlayStation executive Shuhei Yoshida shared a theory last year that this might be the case saying in an interview with kind of funny games that he thought from software president, and I always get this one, Miyazaki, was interested in making the classic game but too busy to do it himself and quote unquote doesn't want anyone else to touch it. He added that he thought PlayStation would respect his wishes despite owning the franchise. Faced with the rejection of the remake that made the most sense, Bluepoint had to whip something else up. The studio spent some time pitching an updated version of Shadow of the Colossus, the classic PlayStation 2 game that Bluepoint had previously remade in 2018 for PlayStation 4, but Sony turned it down. still burning to make an original game Bluepoint pitched other PlayStation studios on developing new projects and other franchises such as a spinoff for Ghost of Tsushima but nothing was green lit some of the other studios which have already been facing heavy financial pressure in recent years were concerned about dedicating significant resources to another team's project according to people familiar with their thinking by February of this year Bluepoint had gone more than a year without securing a new project on February 12th when Sony announced plans to remake the original God of War trilogy without Bluepoint's involvement, some employees at the studio began to grow and easy. Exactly one week later, they got news that Bluepoint was shutting down. Behind the scenes, Sony no longer thought Bluepoint was equipped to make its own game and couldn't find a partnership that made sense, according to people familiar with the company's thinking. It's a tragic end for a game studio that was acclaimed for its technical and artistic proficiency. Bluepoint's 2020 remake of Demon's Souls, which scored a stellar 92 on the review aggregator site Metacritic, was a launch title for PlayStation 5, selling 1.4 million copies in its first year and helping move Sony's new console. In recent days, as Bluepoint's former staffers hunted for jobs and tried to figure out what was next, other companies were making phone calls to see if there might be a way to salvage the studio elsewhere, according to people familiar. The prospect may be unlikely, but blue points, technical expertise remains respected across the industry. Michael, I talked a very long time there. Yes, you did Greg. But again, the headline that we almost got bloodborne remake. Interesting. Going through the nuts and bolts of what happened here. Heartbreaking and possibly, you know, definitely the bigger story. Yeah. I mean, very heartbreaking. It looks like they were going to, you know, throw that hail Mary and was just hoping for somebody to catch it. And unfortunately it seems like Miyazaki and from software from software don't want to do that. And it's an odd one. It's an interesting conversation to be had, right? This is one of the most requested PlayStation games to be brought back into the modern day, right? They want this game so bad. You had a team that was really dedicated and dialed in on remaking games like this. Demon's Souls in particular already worked with that team. Why Bloodborne? Why was it so special? And then to hear the news that it does seem like Miyazaki and the team probably don't want somebody else remaking that game. Of course the reasoning here is you don't want to kill the golden goose okay bloodborne of course the game playstation owns an ip playstation owns and would like to do more with yes but from software it's still the top of the game and so is it really worth going against their wishes the studio that is led by miyazaki right that has this cred that has this fandom you piss him off and it's like cool i will then sign the next one exclusively with xbox epic game store whatever and whether you know not bloodborne but the next souls game right and i don't think that's what playstation wants to get into they don't want to get in the way of that especially right now as we see xbox on the decline the run the rebuilding years of this franchise like playstation's got a great thing going so don't fuck it up when you have one of the auteurs of the video game industry i love that greg and i totally agree with that i guess the interesting conversation to go deeper on is like why not right why does miyazaki not want this to be remade at this time why not help out i think Probably because he wants to do it. Well, my take on it is like, he's made his thing and that's his thing. And he loves that project so much from software loves that so much. They don't want to turn it over to somebody else and have them do it. I mean, why not work closely with blue point then, right? If you don't, if you want your team to only do it, you have such a talented team with blue point while you're also currently making what will probably be the next Elden ring, dark souls, the S game. What is a dusk bloods? Why not have a third game going on with a really dedicated team? We've seen Todd Howard work with machine games on making Indiana Jones. Yeah. It's interesting. He doesn't want to work closely with another talented team like that. I think you kind of fall into a little bit of what we read through here. Not the financial woes of it necessarily, but like, Hey, can we do a ghost of Sushima spinoff? And they're like, well, no, like we have to do our own thing. We don't want to have the brain drain of worrying about your project and your lore and your whatever. And that, that, that, that, that, of course, I think that's really what it comes down to. We're all hands on deck. Like you're talking about, like there already is another exclusive coming from, from soft that isn't going to PlayStation. they're working on that. They are obviously working on whatever's next for their big Souls titles. Yeah. I mean, a massive miss, unfortunately for PlayStation, Bluepoint in particular. Now that whole studio getting laid off right there. And it really probably was hinting a lot. I'm like, can we get this Bloodborne project going? Right. It seems like they pitched it early. Then they went on to the live service track and then had the one more Hail Mary. It was like, that kind of was the game that it seems like that studio was waiting for it. There was no other projects. We couldn't go back to an uncharted one and remake that. Right. Of course we could have. This is poor management by PlayStation. Why do you hire the guys who make chocolate cakes and then task them with making a strawberry Twinkie? What are we fucking talking about? Why would you do this? It's like buying us and be like, all right, cool. Don't make videos anymore, right? Like, what are you talking about? My kids see the keyboard. He had fucking coffee all over his keyboard. What are you talking about? No. No. It's unfortunate. And yeah, that is highly mismanaged, Greg. And that will be a story that will go down for a long time. Bloodborne then trapped on the PS4 with everything that all the baggage it has good and bad. When do you think you see a Bloodborne remake from Miyazaki then? From FromSoft. I mean, here's the other thing too. What about just a Bloodborne 2? I think that would also be part of the reasoning here, right? Of like, hey, I don't want you to remake Bloodborne because eventually I want to bend you over that goddamn barrel PlayStation and get my goddamn paycheck for making you a Bloodborne 2. I think that's another. He wants the audience starving for it. And that sounds very capitalistic. But I do think for whatever they made Bloodborne 4, I'm sure they can get a lot more now. And as they continue to rock the fucking world with Souls likes, I think they're going to be, or Souls games in general, not likes you're making. You know what I mean? That you'd be able to get out there and crush it. Kebab says, did Miyazaki know his choice would kill Bluepoint? No. I doubt that. And even still, I don't think this sounds very callous. That's not his problem to worry about. That's Bluepoint and PlayStation's problem. in this industry no no you got to do what's best for i think you're back to you got to do what's best for your company of course like right now kind of funny right if somebody was like hey we want to go do the kind of funny podcast without you guys but having like well no that's one of our seven most successful shows i can't let you have that i'm sorry you don't you don't understand the bad analogy it's back to the hot mulligans but you don't understand i'm saying like you got to look out for your team and your people and go that way with it so as of right now we know you have dustbloods you probably have something else in the works then we wait yeah okay until you see this a lot of great games back to it though just again the mismanagement of playstation bringing them in you're gonna make a live service game bringing them in and not explaining to them you're only making remakes yeah we've never seen you guys make an original game we don't want to take that shot that's not what you are here to do uncharted and medieval and what you know i mean all these fucking go you making a new you redoing every game every class go look at play station all battle royale Who do you want to make something Who do you want to make a new Ape Escape Go for it Unfortunately the timing and the thought process was everything has to be live service The single player games aren making us enough money Let's figure that out. How'd that work out, Jim Ryan? Bring up the list of many studios that have been closed or laid off on that. Dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead. Scarlet Super Chaz says, It's frustrating to me that some people act like Bluepoint is entitled to Bloodborne as an IP. From Software owes them nothing. Sony is entirely at fault for this a loaded of emotion thing there. Yes. I don't know if it's that they're entitled to it. It's what they do best. And as an audience that wants to see that game remade, you'd want to go to the best studio, which now no longer exists because as you say, this isn't PlayStation's fault. This is Sony's fault. I mean, it's a top three PlayStation franchise there that you would want brought back into the modern era. You buy the team that makes the best remakes in the game. Yeah. That's going to be one of the most highly requested games on the, on the list inside and outside the studio. I'm sure a hundred percent. Michael, would you have been at all interested in a trace going to hell? Uh, no, no, not at all. Ask a question. Get the answer. Okay. We're going to talk about the next story here. And I don't know how I feel about this next one. Number two on the rope report, Sony Santa Monica studio is quote, working on a new franchise within the God of war universe. This is Andy Robinson at VGC. Barrett out there shooting his shot because he said this on the PSI, oh no, the games cast that was like a PSI Love You where you reviewed God of War. What we wanted from God of War, you were right here. I pulled the Jason Stryer code. If it's not a new IP, it's just going to be made to feel like a new IP. I shot my shot. It's still going to be in the God of War universe just with a different character. I guess the wrong character, but I was 90%. Oh, nice. We move into Andy Robinson's reporting at VGC. News. Get it out. Sony Santa Monica Studio is working on a new franchise within the God of War universe according to LinkedIn profile of a former writer as spotted by Reset Era the writer claims they spent five years up to last September helping quote shape narrative vision and creative direction at Sony Santa Monica Studio for a new franchise within the God of War universe developing characters, storylines and original lore that expanded the acclaimed IP end quote the post matches with claims made by Bloomberg journalist Jason Schreier the Schreier guy who wrote in a recent story that PlayStation at one point intended to quote support several God of War sequels and spinoffs like its own smaller version of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and quote we just read that we love that synergy Sony Santa Monica Studios let's try again there Sony Santa Monica Studios last major project was 2022's God of War Ragnarok Sony Santa Monica creative director Corey Barlog who helmed 2018's God of War, but stepped aside for the sequel, is understood to be working on an unannounced project. Notably last month, God of War actor Christopher Judge claimed that his next game would be announced this summer, fueling speculation that it could be Sony Santa Monica Studios' next big title. Santa Monica is currently celebrating God of War's 20th anniversary via various initiatives, most notably a brand new 2D game that was shadow dropped last month during its state-of-play announcement. during the same live stream the developer also revealed that a god of war trilogy remake is in early development quote we ask for your patience as it will be a while before any else that anything else can be shared it said quote when we can come back with an update we aim to make it a big one end quote let's talk about it greg let's talk about it so interesting i wanted to shout out christopher judge of course we talked about it on kind of funny games daily of course a couple weeks ago uh was at a comic-con got a was talking to a guest camera angle a little bit away from this so maybe he didn't know but he did talk about i'm gonna be in the next one and they talked about new action style yeah so that was pretty cool that like we had that conversation and possibly this summer do you believe it you think it's this summer i think this summer i think we're celebrating a big mark in the god of war franchise i believe it's a large anniversary 20 yeah yeah and so you had Sons of Sparta already, you know God of War trilogy, that's a ways away for sure. I think this is a big hit this summer, especially for the PlayStation lineup to be like, hey, another God of War here. Could be end of the year, could be next year, but that goes well with the flow of where we're at right now. Do you get excited for a spin-off? I mean, it's a new IP within the God of War franchise. I mean, yeah, of course. The God of War franchise has built up a really cool mythos of a lot of awesome characters that I would like to get to know and see more of. It depends on what the character is. We did get some leaks and some talk about that, some rumors of that. Give it to me. I don't know what this is. Faye. It was Faye? Okay. Yeah, it would be Faye the Giant. That's Kratos' second wife. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm just trying to give you a hint. Deborah, no, no. Deborah Ann Wilson? She's from Daredevil. She's in Daredevil. True Blood. And so, yeah, you'd have that character with a new action style. Got it. What is that action system, right? Because is it God of War 2018 would just maybe less puzzles and that kind of action? Is it more of an old school God of War? A lot more action at the forefront. Is it a souls-like action? What does that really mean? Does that excite you? That character? It doesn't not excite me. When you jump in with that rumor and then I want to see the gameplay. What are we doing with her? She's a fantastic actress. They made not a big deal, but it was big news when she joined the game. So I was expecting a lot more flashbacks than what we got. in Ragnarok of her. And then we didn't get that many. Still got the fucking banger line about grief. But I mean, like, I would have expected more. I think it's a great, that would make sense to implant her there to then go off and give your own thing. Sky Super Chat and says, Fae Games should be her fighting her way out of hell or Valhalla after her death. Sprinkle in some prequel shit for good measure. Barret, how are you feeling about this? Initially, the character kind of like left, like, all right, what do we have, what story do we have to tell with this character? But also I give the trust in if this is the project that Corey is working on to sell us on that. And if the plan is reveal it this year and it comes out next year, I am willing to give myself up and to see what that vision is. Because they're a great team. They know what they're doing. So, yeah. I'm also interested in how accurate that part of the leak is. as we knew for, or as we heard for a year, right? That this Metroidvania 2D God of War game was going to be you playing as Atreus, which was not the case. And so I do wonder if there also is some mixed, game of telephone there, right? But we'll see. From the Super Chat, yeah. Nova Phoenix says, Stellar Fae, count me in. Bring Debra back. You have to have Debra back. If you don't have Debra, what's the point? What's the point? daredevil true blood it's gonna happen let's get her name one more i don't know her imdb she's in two great things what do i need you know what i mean you could have just pulled out ragnarok that doesn't count you know you then you would have made fun of me for that you're always making fun of uh loyal freak says as much as i love god of war and i will always play them i need sony santa monica to make something besides god of war we need a new ip from them 20 years of nothing from them except this franchise is wild wow how do you feel about that mr halo make more halo I am on the train to make more God of War, right? So I'm on the opposite side of that. I like the God of War franchise. I really like where it's gone, what it's reinvented themselves with. And so, yeah, I would like more and more Kratos, Atreus, more stories in this universe. And even if it's a spinoff with another character I don't know that much about, yeah, more is better. I'm all about it. What about you? Well, I go two different ways with it, right? Where I personally would love to see something new. Okay. But I also understand the business and we see every day in this fucking show, what happens when you stray from God and an established IP, right? If you aren't going to fucking double down. And again, PlayStation wants to make money. Your studio then is on the chopping block if you don't fucking put out a hit. So it's like when we were talking about all man, Corey Barlogs, next game is going to be a sci-fi, whatever the thing I was like, well, that sounds really cool and exciting. I'm not not excited for this, but I feel like to some degree, all right, known quantity. It's going to be a God of War game, but it's not going to be creative. I kind of still get what I'm getting and how it's going to go. I feel, I'm sure I'll prove you wrong. I will be excited about it. I will play it. I will probably love it. Yeah. But I would be, I would always like to see people stretch. I love that we went from Uncharted to Last of Us. Now to Intergalactic. How much longer do you go with God of War before you're like, hey, it is really time for something new. Are you at that point right this moment? Me personally or the world? The world as well. I mean, me personally, I feel like they've made just two bangers back to back. and so I don't want them to keep trying to double down and I don't know, that's not even true if you got something to say, go make your game period, end statement I just am always more excited for a new thing I feel like than hey, we're going back to the well on this of course, it's very tough like you said, today's age it's very tough to go out, make a new IP that no one knows about when there's characters and stories that they love and they really double down on, we've seen the push for live service games, single player games, they need to hit we've seen that right with the ballooning costs how long it takes. It's got to hit. So if it does come out as something new, fresh and it doesn't hit, then you've got a major problem on your hands. We have one you're wrong. Nerdwell says, God of War came out in March 2005. The 20th anniversary was last year. Sons of Sparta was the last part of the 20th celebration. I hear you, Nerdwell. I assure you, if they announce a new God of War game this year, they're going to be like, it's 20 years ago. They're going to still really drive that home to you. The marketing drum will pay. We are still celebrating 20 years of God of War. I love we got some a lot of super chats. CJ splits on says I hope the next game is a low key Prince of Persia with the gameplay changes. Okay, well, you won't get that. I understand. It doesn't sound like that. It's not going to run that way at all. Volk Dasher says, so I'm sure game will be top tier as expected. But do we think Team Corey had a game quietly internally canceled? Or are we saying he spent seven to eight years on a spinoff? Barrett, bring me remind me right when he left and said I'm not. he didn't helm Ragnarok. He still helped guide the ship in pre-pro. Yeah. And I want to say he was, you know, still involved in some ways with writing and kind of being producer level. Yeah. And then Eric was the director on it, but I think, I think his, maybe his title was still like creative director or something like that. I don't think he was like free and clear to sit around and not do nothing from it. And from my understanding, like, I don't know if Sony Santa Monica had another big team secretly working on a game for like a really long time while Eric and the team that we know was working on Ragnarok. I think it was like early, early, pre, pre, pre production, Corey thinking of like early ideas of what this next thing was. And now that, you know, we see the team starting to, or we saw the team in 2021, 2022, start to close the door on Ragnarok leading into its release. Now that we're looking at a 2026 reveal into a 2027 release, to me, that actually adds up of like nothing, at least seemingly from the outside looking in, nothing dramatic like that happening, you know. Fair. jay dublin says you don't want god of war to have the magic the gathering issue where they release so many things that it devalues the brand in series i don't think they're at that point yet right we still have followed kratos all the way through like we haven't even gotten to the point where it is all of a sudden the tray is let's not act like they didn't have two psp games and an ascension multiplayer game god of war i mean i know they're on a upswing with the new world of course and those are those are old yes i think old heads like you know that greg but like there's a lot of new people into the franchise that started with 2018 right and that are rediscovering or learning about kratos that's why we're remaking that trilogy right and so i think you have some more time before you get to magic the gathering levels it's like maybe introduce more characters and make us play as those guys let me know if this sounds like magic of the gathering levels uh delaney 20 super chat and says tinfoil hat idea what if kratos has to go back to greece and fight zagrius from hades it could be a neat crossover opportunity and double up on ip like the actual like not you the one from supergiant like you want to that version like that's the crossover that'd be crazy that'd be very crazy that would be crazy don't think that would happen but that'd be crazy yeah yeah also fan art would be off the wall yeah start making that actually right now just for the funds of it uh but i think kratos's story is uh done and that's why we're making a old ip feel new cj splitstone says what's the difference between this and what remedy does I don't think you're I want to laugh you out of the room but I won't because I understand where you're coming from for me personally it's just like and this is what's so hard about talking about a game we can't see we were talking about oh it's going to be his wife and it'll be God of War combat and so it's just okay so now she's female Kratos because like I would argue there of course that like well in Alan Wake I walk around and write and in fucking control I fly and shoot people and fucking throw things with telekinesis like they feel very different even though they are in the same world but i also love a modern sci-fi timeline more than i do god of war let's go back to the old times i live in a hut i got a stone wall that's matches you know what i mean just fucking kill me you know what i mean i was like oh yeah time travel what would you like i blow my brains out or just hit myself in the head with a giant rock if that's you know what i mean he's not going back no fucking video game i think about that all the time too what if tomorrow you woke up and you know you're in college again. Like, oh my God, I'd be so fucking bored. You know what I mean? I don't know where you play all these games. I got to play these games. You're like, oh man. Stuck at GameSafe. Safe system fucking sucks. Graphics are terrible. Everyone's like, this is cutting edge. I'm like, you don't even know, man. 26 years ago. Then again, and then of course, the age old question. Yeah. Do you warn them about September 11th? You make the call. And you can't because then you go to jail. You go to jail as a terrorist. Nobody's going to believe you. And then it's the other problem. They'd be like, all right, cool. Prove something else that you're from the future. And I'm like, you don't understand? I got a bad memory. You want to go Bitcoin? I mean, you have to wait a long time. You know what I mean? I mean, at that point, if I go back in time and it's before the iPhone, put it all on Apple. Apple. You know what I mean? Yeah, yeah. Mom and dad, don't send me to college. Give me all that money. You don't even make the phone call. You just put it all on Apple. Again, what do you want me to do? Who do I call to convince people that this is happening and I didn't do it? You can't. No. And again, then they go, okay, who's going to win the Super Bowl this year? I'm like, I don't fucking remember. I don't know. Is this the year where the Rams lost and all my friends were disappointed? I can't remember. I think it was. You just bet on the one where Tom Brady brought him back against Atlanta. That's the one you remember. I don't remember that one. You remember that one. That's your one. I'm helping you. You're not helping me because I only remember the bad stuff. Oh, they're going to send Tom Brokaw anthrax. I go to jail again. You know what I mean? I don't even know if it's Tom Brokaw. I might be sending the wrong person. and then i get a pop-up here roger percone on instagram commented greg sucks so that's great that's how my roger fucking rod taking him to a basketball game today be fun because andy's a loser andy he breaks my heart i agree 28 mad you could have brought ben you could have been cool uncle mike and take it ben can we talk about somebody that's coming for ben spot really quick can i steal this show for just a moment no you can't talk about another child that's coming to I need you to know, Greg, that my life for the past month has been about this baby that is just dropping bombs and throwing nothing but gas and heat in his basement with his father. This kid is going places. What the fuck are you talking about? Barrett, please bring up the baseball baby. How did we have this set up? Look at this baseball baby right now. Look at the form. Rip through. Really good form. That's a really good form. They have been tracking this kid for the past year and a half now with his father, and they are constantly in the basement just working and perfecting on this three-year-old's game. Has anybody signed him yet? You know what? Somebody's going to make the call. Because in baseball, you can do crazy things like that. You can sign him way early. Middle schoolers are being signed. It's insane. I feel like this is it right here. This is the only thing I can think about for the past month. It's his baby. Just working on drills. Guy's got seven balls that are all different colors. Throws it up. He yells, orange kid knocks it out the park. He gets a hold of the baseball, whips it. It's going 60 miles an hour. Okay. Okay. I see where your allegiances are. Yeah. We got to help this baby out. What if I took that and I raised it and I show you, look at there. Ben out there playing tennis with us. We bought the racket. We bought the balls. This kid's ready to go. Look at him. Look at it. Bam. That's what I'm talking about. That's over the net. That's follow through. Now, tennis is a sport that I can get behind.

I don't know what you're talking about. Nintendo announces Indie World Showcase for tomorrow. Expect news on games coming to Switch and Switch 2. This is the one, the only, W-Y-P at IGN.com. Nintendo has announced a new Indie World Showcase set to take place tomorrow, March 3rd. The showcase kicks off at 6 a.m. Pacific and will provide 15 minutes of news and updates on indie games coming to Switch 2 and Switch. This is not a Nintendo Direct, so don't expect any news on upcoming Nintendo games. Parentheses, hopefully that 3D Mario announcement isn't too far away. So what can fans expect? At the August 2025 Nintendo Indie World Showcase, which did not offer a Hollow Knight Silksong release date, we got a demo announcement for Yacht Club Games' Mina the Hollower, new looks at Well Dweller, content warning on consoles a glacier hurtling ball cross pit and never way Nintendo held a partner showcase last month and highlights of course included a switch to upgrade for Hollow Knight a release date etc etc etc etc Indie world is coming tomorrow Michael I haven't talked to you about this Barrett I haven't talked to you about this we're doing it schedule change I flipped the flop alright Gamescast moves the games daily spot games daily moves the games cast spot love that me Mike and Roger will live react Barrett hold on Take your smelling salts, Matt. What? Barrett's getting lost in another dimension. Uh-oh. We will be live reacting to it on a delay. So when we wake up, we will not look at the Indie World Showcase. We will instead live react for 15 minutes with you to do a Gamescast following up on that, talking about what we've been playing on top of that, having a great time out there. Freaking rad. Jared, what do you expect from tomorrow's Indie World? I have few predictions except that Nintendo will come forward with innovative and exciting new video games to play on their platforms, things that we love and enjoy. We still don't have mean of the hollowers release date yes right so that's gotta be there that's gotta be it right mike just had a big demo you would think it's gonna be there yeah you think that would be like probably the big jewel of them all for sure yeah i mean i agree i love that right now despite a truly challenging time for the industry probably the most challenging time in the 21st century fair even now people are scraping and clawing and digging to make little games that their hearts want to exist in the world. I don't know if there's ever been a more passionate moment for games. It is harder than ever for indie devs. I'm in that now, and I'm really getting a feel for it. And yet, what I see from the people around me, Canada's a great place for indie development. Free health insurance helps. It helps. Government subsidizing. Government subsidies help. We have that. And so watching what people are doing, looking at a space where things are contracting, saying, I am not going to allow my creativity to die here. I'm going to give up what I can and make something happen. That's why I love Nintendo's special focus on indie stuff that they really haven't let go of now. Yeah, it's nice that they still do that. It's consistent. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, PlayStation used to make a bigger deal of this stuff, for example. You see less of that now. Xbox used to make a bigger deal. But for some reason, Nintendo has stuck with it. I love that. So I'm jumping into my Steam wish list. And I'm looking down at games that just have 2026 dates here and trying to figure out who could fit in where. All right? Because that's where you've got to be looking. 15 minutes, you can get a lot in there. You can do a whole bunch of stuff. now of course when I'm looking at my steam wish list I don't know what's jumping but that could be the whole thing not early access you don't want that I see tears of metal here highly anticipated one for me the developers of blood roots remember that anybody no okay yeah you remember tears of metal too this have you seen can you throw up a trailer baron I know I'm talking while I go I think that would be an awesome one because that just says 2026 yes blighted is on here as well for me that on my wish list that of course Blighted's Guacamelee devs. I know them so well. Drinkbox. Drinkbox. They're on there. Oh, man. Mixtape? We have a release date now for Mixtape, don't we? I don't know. Pretty sure we do. My Steam wishlist doesn't have it updated. I can see that maybe you bring that over to Switch. I don't know if that's announced. Tome 2 would make a lot of sense. That's obviously a good fit there. Forgive my ignorance because I didn't prep before coming. I had no idea what was coming on. Where are we on Bolex Pit? Because that seems like the Switch 2-est game in the history of the world. Did that not come to Switch 2? I don't know if it did or not. That's what I'm wondering. I played it on PC. I mean, they just talked about it. They talked about it on the thing where it was like that was in last year's, right? Well, I can't remember. Yeah, no, it did. It did. It did. No, then I'm sorry for being ignorant. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I've been out of the game for so long. No, it's there. Yeah, and I get the free upgrade. I should do that. I thought you said it earlier. That's why I did say it early in terms of that was what it was at the direct or the Waka thing. Thank you very much. Sorry about that. Real quick. Sorry. Vash and L says you pronounce it ball pit. The X is silent. Fuck that. Yeah. Real quick game. If you don't want us to say a letter or a word in there, don't put it in the fucking title. Because if you put in the fucking title, I'm going to say it. Sometimes I'll say X. Sometimes I'll say cross. will I ever not say it? No, I won't. Yeah, you say cross when you're standing in Japan. You say X when you're standing here. That's how you do it. And then for some games, you say it as times for some reason. Oh, times. That's true. You can do that too. Multiplied by. Yep, yep, yep. I do wonder if we get a, not as exciting, but a reminder of like, hey, mouse P.I. Fryer, that's coming out in April. Is that coming to Switch? I think so. Switch got everything now. Man. I'm doing them over here. Somebody's making crossfire. You'll get caught up in... See, I don't see mouse on my Nintendo search here on the store. Now, is the Nintendo store the best? No, but I don't see it. Yeah. Can the Switch 2 run it? Maybe that is the announcement, though, that it's coming there. That'd be great. That'd be great. Absolutely marvelous. Well, we'll be, like I said, on a delay, live reacting to it tomorrow, 15 minutes before the games cast. It'll be at the usual times of Games Daily. Then Games Daily will be after it. We'll all have a lot of fun, okay? Yeah. Now, Barrett, Jesus. I can be Barrett. I want what happened. Well, here's what happened. Before we switch off, Stakes says Barrett. Delta Root for tomorrow. I could see it, but it's, I don't know. They've been weird about like just them randomly dropping those episode. Toby Fox has said chapter five will come this year. So it's a possibility, but I wouldn't bet on it. Okay. And whoever the annoying guy in the chat was, it wasn't a review. Anyway. fuck you. Hey, that's a good response. I like that. Before we get to Jared questions, any direct question or comments, Dexter says prediction. Mina, the Halloware release date for April 17th. As for Greg, the Mario announcement is in September's direct Galaxy 3. Hi, Uncle Jared. Oh, oh, thank you. Everybody put that in there. Now, Jared, are you ready for a lightning round before we get back to the game? I wasn't even ready for the regular round. This is easy. I just made a fool of myself. Samson XP says Canada's own Jared Petty. Much love from Vancouver. Oh, thank you very much for the love for me. All the way across. Kebab says, super chat for Jared Petty. Love, we love you. Oh, thank you. Thank you, Kebabs. I appreciate it. Big Kerr says, doki doki, Jared love, wishing you the best. Doki doki, right back at you. Delaney 20 says, Jared, doki doki, welcome back. How's the seafood in PEI? Are the mussels really as good as everyone says? Yeah, they are. The shellfish are unreal. The mussels are great. The oysters are even better. The gin made with the oysters is one of the best things on earth. Mike wouldn't do it. He put the napkin on it. Yeah, you would mix that in a martini. It's incredible. Lobster rolls, fish and chips, but the best food in PEI. Shout out to Clodduck. The surf and turf there, which is not lobster and steak, but a bed of Colcannon covered in like. Which is what? Colcannon is mashed potatoes, cream, butter. It's got some cabbage in it. This one has some beets in it. And then on top of that, huge grilled scallops and pork belly with some apricot jelly, I think, on it. Come on, everybody. Uncle Death says, following Jared's journey to Canada has revitalized my long-lost pride and love for being Canadian. So glad you felt welcomed. Love from Enby. Oh, thank you. The country's been extraordinarily welcoming to Angie and I, and that community especially. We've fallen in love with Charlottetown. It's a great place. Live chat, Justin says, PEI, KF meetup win. Oh, yeah. I don't know when you are coming. No, no, you can represent us. You can represent us. Okay, I'm representing you? You don't want me representing you. I'm used to it. Oh, my God. You know, you were talking earlier. You almost called me Barrett. I am kind of what would happen if Barrett let himself go. No. If Barrett was just like one day like, you know. You look really good for the record, by the way. I didn't say it earlier. I actually feel pudgy right now. But I mean, there's color in your face. Thanks. That's the biggest thing I think I've been missing for a long time out there with you. Oh, thank you very much. I'm feeling much better. Yeah, I'm getting over it. I gained some weight when I got, you know, my old man died a couple of months ago. But I'm getting it back down. Good. Pluto says, shout out to PEI. I used to go every summer. Justin says, how do you potato your potatoes? How do I? Okay. So honestly, I think the best potatoes on PEI, and there's all kinds of great ones. There's like a simple grilled breakfast potato, almost like a Greek style potato. Like a little rosemary, a little thyme, a little salt, nothing else. And then a nice crisp, not burn, but nice crisp fry on the outside. But the inside is still soft. Like that is, that's my way. What about you? My favorite potato? Yeah. I wasn't prepared. I wasn't prepared for the indie thing. You know, man, I do love a good mashed potatoes, you know. Yeah, how do you go wrong with that, right? We went to House of Prime Rib, me, Mike, Tim Schafer, Andy the other day. Yeah. And I didn't realize that you could, Tim Schafer was very big on the secret menu, some of which I knew, some of which I didn't. But I didn't realize you could order the mashed potatoes and then get them fully loaded, which means they take all the baked potato stuff, the giant thing of bacon, the giant thing of sour cream, the other chives, and then put them on top of your mashed potatoes. And I mixed that shit up. That was amazing. Okay, that's fucking incredible. I think about like, so the first time I met Tim Schafer was so embarrassing because never meet your heroes. Sure. I'm walking into the Alamo to watch Independence Day 2. Wow. Okay. And he's walking out of the Alamo from watching Independence Day 2. And two things happen. One, I'm like, oh my God, Tim Schafer now knows that I'm going to see Independence Day 2. Sure. I'm so embarrassed. Yeah. But also, oh, my God, Tim Schafer just watched Independence Day 2. I'm so disappointed. It was a hard day. I'm sorry about that. Sorry about that. What about you and potatoes, Mike? You know what? I'm looking up potatoes over here. You're looking up potatoes? Sweet and smoky potato pie. I'd like to try that. Okay. Now that looks good. I'd like to try it, but what is your favorite? That was the question. Sweet and smoky potato pie. But you've never had it. I can already tell it's my favorite. It's wrapped in bacon. It looks like a pizza pie. I'm in on it. I would bet you would take one bite and be like, I don't like that. Send me the link. I want to. Okay. Please give your brain to the Smithsonian when you die. Like, please. We got to find out. Final one before we get you out of here, Jared. All right. The Portland Kevin says, Jared, your top 100 games podcast inspired me to start my own book club like podcast. The PlayStation Plus Game Club. PlayStation Plus Game Club. Thank you for being awesome. Thank you for being kind. And top 100 will continue in a couple of weeks. Now, like I said, when dad died, I paused again for that. He'd want you to come back. And I didn't even make an announcement. But I think he'd be like, do what the fuck you want, man. Exactly. Exactly. Yeah. But I enjoy it. And I'll be back to it again. Jared Petty, everybody. You're saying we love you. All right. Love you. Get out of here. Mike, let's land this goddamn plane. Let's get it. Number four. I got a Resident Evil rock block for you. Okay. Resident Evil Requiem has been criticized for immersion breaking gore censorship in Japan. This is Verity Townsend over at IGN. Resident Evil Requiem released last Friday while players are slicing up zombies as Leon S. Kennedy and creeping around as Grace Ashcroft. Players of the Japanese version have noticed something amiss, namely Requiem's censorship of gore in its home country is being criticized as being immersion-breaking and uncreative compared to past games in the series. How's that sit with you? I mean, that's... Yeah, it's unfortunate, but like, uncreative, I like, right? It's like, if you knew that you were going to censor it and like, it's been done before, let's try to find a good workaround for let's not just put up a giant sensor bar or blur the image like let's get creative with it you've done it before let's let's knock this out many players of the japanese version have since voiced their dissatisfaction with the censorship in the final release i'm skipping obviously ahead as one player of the japanese version pointed out in a not safe for work reddit post capcom started to show cutting off limbs in resident evil 4 implementing a workaround where gore and entrails will be blacked out. With Resident Evil Requiem, Capcom has also opted for blacking out the gore. However, this has extended to covering the whole of missing areas of the body in black to the point where it's really noticeable. For example, in one puzzle in Requiem, you have to find an artificial heart and lungs and place them inside a dead body in order to get the MacGuffin. In the Japanese version, the entire upper body and the heart and lungs themselves are completely black. As the Redditor noted, this censorship is way more noticeable IMO to the point where it really kills the immersion. Although many longtime fans have come to expect Japanese domestic releases of Resident Evil games to be censored many opined that Resident Evil Requiem's censorship was excessive and distracting to the previous entries. Thank God we live here in America where you can't show a titty but you can show all the violence and fucking blood and gore you want. Damn. It's crazy when you say it like that. When you think about it, that's crazy. Let me see a cock, you know? What's the big deal, everybody? Go full frontal. uh, Resident Requiem is blowing up on steam. This is Levi Winslow over at GameSpot. Just one day after launch, Resident Requiem has already surpassed the player counts of both RE4 remake and RE village on steam, making the most popular entry in the series to date as reported by games industry. Requiem's all time peak on steam was about 345,000 on February 28th. According to player tracker, steam DB just one day after arrived on everything else. Eurogamer noted the peak was double that of Resident for a remake, which was just about 168,000 and triple that of Resident village, which was just about 107,000 making Requiem the biggest launch in the franchise's history. It goes on to say, of course, Requiem is available on other platforms. This, that, the other impressive numbers, Mike for an amazing game. You and I love game is amazing. And when a game is that good, it's going to get that many players on there. Awesome to see. And yeah, well-deserved this game rocks. And then your final one right now, Resident Evil Requiem currently has the highest user score of all time on Metacritic. This is Chris Scullion at VGC. Three days after its release, Resident Evil Requiem has become the highest rated game of all time on Metacritic in terms of user score. The ninth entry in Capcom's survival horror series currently has the overall Metascore, the average score from critics of 88, with the per platform score fluctuating from 88 to 92. I cut the article too early. I don have the what was the fucking one I was in a hurry Jared was here I failing I failing I falling I dying I dying There it is. Back to VGC. That news where you should get your news. However, the user score, the average score out of 10 submitted by Metacritic users currently stands at 9.5, making it the highest user score on the entire platform. That's dope. Crazy, but dope. We love this game. Okay. You think it should be the highest scored game ever on Metacritic? This game rocks, Greg. I agree. You and I are, of course, doing our spoiler stream. Spoiler stream this afternoon. This game rocks, Greg. This game is that good. Okay. And I'm not mad at it. If the users are vibing with it and they're enjoying it, I'm giving it a big hell yeah. I agree. I'm not trying to stop anybody. I'm on board. I'm not trying to stop anybody. I'm just saying. Stop trying to stop people. It's a surprising stat for a game we love here. A game we love. spoiler stream me and Mike this afternoon talking about everything. We got to talk about it. Number five in the Roper report. The just cause creator has a bleak take on the state of gaming. This is any over a game spot. Christopher Sundberg, who are Sundberg who is known for his hot takes has made another bold statement about the state of gaming. In an interview, Sundberg said he is observing things in the games industry today. The hasn't seen in his 30 plus years of making games quote. I've been making games for over three decades and I've never, and never experienced such a desperate, cowardly, they'll call it risk-averse, and confused state of the business, Sundberg told WCCF Tech. After the acquisition slash over-investing party during 21 through 23, we are dealing with the hangover and it's been going on for three years, end quote. Sundberg is referring to the video game boom from the pandemic and how it seemingly has not paid off the way investors imagined. Something Greg's going to jump in with, we talk about every goddamn day here. And that's why I wanted to throw it in there because he's just saying the same things we say, which makes me feel good when I see somebody who actually makes the games saying the same things we say. Mike? Yeah, Greg? The video game industry bouncing back, funding games, making great stuff again and making money so everybody's happy. Maybe just a little bit of profit. Maybe not a big profit. You know what I mean? A little bit of profit. You know what I mean? A big profit. You know, let's say back and forth. No layoffs. No layoffs. That would all be big news. Real big. But if I wanted something smaller, or say the tiniest news I need to know about, where would I go? Greg, I'd take you to our last story, the Wii News Channel, where we cover all the small news items you need to know about. Number six on the Wii News. Of course, the Pokemon Pocopia reviews are up. It has a review roundup Metacritic of 89. If you haven't been listening, we are reviewing this next on the Gamescast. Myself, Joey, and the big man from BGC.news, Jordan Midler. So that's why you can get a full review rundown. We'll talk about it there. And I'm very excited to finally open up. IGN says Pokemon fire, red and leaf green remakes at a swear filter, limiting your ability to name your rival, something rude. I wanted to call him ass. VGC says, uh, Nacon delays the game showcase after Nate. I'm sorry. Oh, Nacon delays its game showcase after filing for insolvency quote. We are choosing to focus our resources. You know what? That seems about right. That seems like a good call. You know what? Maybe when you announced the insolvency slash bankrupt, you would have said there as well. Hey, that thing that was going to happen, we're not going to do that. Okay. Because we wait here. It's fine. VGC also has an article. Starfield on PS5 release date confirmed by Reliable Insider. Quote, the report claimed that the PlayStation 5 version of Starfield is expected to get a physical release on April 7th. We have heard April 7th kicked around for a few weeks now. Here we go. Another tiddly wink. trying to push you a little bit over there. Trying to show you what's going on. And then, if you're in Japan or on your way to Japan, I got good news from you from Dixtero. The Tokyo Metro turns the entire Tokyo Metro turns entire train purple for the Ditto, Pokemon, Pocopia, Olaf. Now that's fun. That's awesome. That's cute. Look at that. The hand holes are Dittos. I wouldn't want to touch it. Why aren't we doing that here? We got Caltran. We got a Caltrain. Sure, sure, sure. It's like, why can't we have that fun stuff? We got a cool train. We have a cool train. It's just you don't have a good return on investment there. What do you mean? You don't think San Francisco would go crazy for a Ditto-themed train? Maybe then going to the Nintendo store? Maybe reminding them that there's a new Pokemon game? I'll tell you real quick. Remember, you can't change where the train goes. That is true. Trains can't. You can't deviate it to the Nintendo store. I'm just saying. It's like, you just get them encouraged. You know what I mean? It's like, oh, man. And Mike, we have bigger problems when it comes to the bus system and train system in San Francisco. We got to solve these problems. Mayor Mike just wants us to have fun. I want a ditto train at every stop right now. I want the trolleys ditto themed. What about the Waymos? Mayor Mike's coming out. I'm going to fix all these problems. Mayor Mike just wants to have fun. That sounds weirdly similar to just our current mayor. Hey, what up, San Francisco? I got a new EDM artist coming to town. Don't worry about nobody getting money. Teachers not getting paid. I got Diplo coming. He's the best. These are some deep San Francisco cuts about Daniel Lurie. You're nailing it. You're nailing it. We're going to have the largest boxing event ever inside the city of San Francisco. 120,000 people can show up. That is going to be lit, though. We got to go to that. That's it for WeNews. We jump into Super Chats that we missed. I'll start from the bottom and go to the top. Well, now I'm confused. Because the latest Super Chat, I'm not going to say the name. But I'll say the thing and then I'll come back to the name. Just pop it in and have Greg pronounce my gamer tag and then he uses the LOL like emoji. My COD plays have been the funniest hearing people say my name but also good morning handsome fellas. I can't remember I can't remember if we had a conversation about this before or if I said it wrong before and they're making fun of me for that. Because I feel like I've said this before and I'm pretty confident in what I'm saying. That Asian one. That A-Z-N-1. Yeah, that Asian one. Yeah. Did I say it weird before? Am I wrong? We could go with that Arizona one. No, you want to put the N on it. I'm just trying to, you know. If that was that, then it'd be that capital A, capital Z one. Then I'd be all that Arizona one. and then why are you hanging out with Ignacio Rojas at the Surly Winch? We ask him all the time. What are they saying in COD? That Asian one, you need to super chat back in and tell me. You might say I'm going to chat for free. They're going to say a lot of things. The YouTube chat died out there and I only see the fan-funded one, so you have to pay again. I'm sorry. Zeke Speak says, been playing marathon all weekend and it's got the juice. It definitely isn't for everyone, but I think that's part of what makes it interesting to play. Michael, did you jump into marathon? Yeah, I jumped into marathon for one night and I was a mixed bag of emotions. There was a feeling that I was interested in it. I really liked the gunplay. I liked the world. I liked the aesthetic. I liked the creative design of it all, but there was something about it where I just did not like the moment to moment gameplay gun fights were super fun and engaging, but they were few and far between. There was too many times where I found me and my crew were just in an empty play space with nothing going on besides AI bots that were like too overwhelming. So it is interesting of like a lot of people coming out of this beta weekend released right around the corner. What are the thoughts going to be? I'm, I'm a mixed bag. I'm yes. And no on this. Okay. Fair enough. Stakes who I've been abbreviating. Super chat says, to be honest, Greg never says my name. Right. When I super chat, I won't lie to you. Can I get the one? Yeah. It's because it's bad. You got a bad username. Oh, so it's steak sticks animations. Now you have to say, Oh, steak sticks like s-t-i-c-k-s no steak s-t-i-x all shoved together animations yeah nope yeah nope nope nope nope nope nope nope nope do you ever look at your channel and go man i got 6.9 000 subscribers maybe it's because my name's fucking stupid got him did you ever think about that steak six because i think you should maybe you know tonight clear the whiteboard right Is it dumb? Question mark. I know you're too far locked in. Now here's what I'll call out. Your animations look fucking dope. Oh shit. Look at this fucking creepy ass. This is a family guy animation. This is fucking good, but you should probably just go to stakes. That's what I would do. Just change your name to stakes. That rolls off the tongue. People know how to find that. They like that. Steak stick animation. Steak sticks animation. This is why. What's a steak sticks? I can go for a steak on the stick though. That's just a beast. stick i brought a whole bunch of new beef sticks in new beef sticks yeah yeah yeah yeah okay okay great that asian one says lol you pronounced it right it's the chats and cod kill cam that mispronounced them that's why you guys are awesome also gamer girl here smiley that's awesome and i love that now i will call out this when i said this before one of the freeloader chats was like i want to know why greg says cod and not cod and i'll let you know because when you were suckling on your mom's fucking teeth, I was writing about video games, and we always called it COD for Call of Duty because that's an abbreviation. Then you all came in and you went, Cod pieces, and now you start calling it Cod, and you want me to change. That's on you. No, because guess what? In 20 years, I'll still be here talking about COD, and you know what you'll be doing? Fucking taking care of some kid. You won't be playing video games anymore, all right? You'll be going there, ringing the big accounting machine at work every day like an idiot. We're going wide as steak sticks animation still. We have $7,000 20 years later. Don't get me fired up today. I was fired up during Gregway because I was leaving voice comments on YouTube comments. That's a bad move. Them letting me leave voice comments because people better everybody. If you don't watch a lot, you got to get hip to the game that when I do a voice comment, I'm usually doing a heel character because it's going to get me in trouble fast. When I say give me the one, that's when we're on it. We're having fun here. Yeah. Yeah. So when steak sticks, his mom comes in and be like, he cried himself to sleep. He was like, I'm Mrs. Steak sticks. You know what I mean? I don't want to fucking hear it. Now you get it. Katie Butler, super chat says birthday tax for me. Happy birthday. Happy birthday. Thanks for all the laughs and fun over the past six years. Hopeful to meet you in SF soon. Joey and I are still waiting for the Taylor Swift albums in review.

You're not on the website Find Familiar Con you know what I would like to take a moment though Greg I would like to share with you that your boy Snowbike Mike went two and one in this magic pre-release for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles it was technically three and oh it is a two oh and one I did take a draw but I want you know that I played the best magic of my life on Sunday afternoon from Friday night getting my butt whooped from 11 to 2.30 in the morning. Yeah. Then followed that up by Saturday when I showed up for the four o'clock event and no one else showed up. And the guy said, you went canceling this. They get the fuck to them returning at the window. Right. They gave you the, they gave me some packs. That was nice. That was nice of them to treat me like that. And then to show up on Sunday and to lock in and see the synergies to build off the bombs, to build a red and white deck that synergized with Raphael and Leonardo that gave all of my attacking characters a double strike and also two combat phases. And then get this, Greg. Slap the first jabroni. Got him. Dominated, right? Then I go in. No, no. First game, guy's got bad breath. Oh, you hate it. Get a breath, man, okay? We go 1-1. Then we go the distance in the game number three. Do you think the bad breath was like a fucking... It was a tactic. It was a tactic. It was a tactic. You should have shit your pants. fight fire with fire. So we go 1-1. We go to game three. Now get this, Greg. They have a time limit. They give you three games in an hour essentially. And so we're going the distance. I'm up 22 to four on him. And they're like, you get five turns left. I'm like, I'm winning. I should get this win. We go five turns. I can't finish him. He's not going to finish me. And they go, oh, that's a draw. I'm like, well, I'm 22 to four. That's crazy, right? So then get this. I go to game number two. I'm playing. I'm slapping this jabroni around. Sorry, Jay. Beat him up right there. That's where I play my first card. Bear, I sent it over to you. Broadcast takeover. Gain control of all artifacts your opponent's control at the end of the turn. Untap them, and they gain haste until end of turn. Watch out, Greg, because I win against my opponent with his own stuff. So now this card's going to come back into play. Game number three. guys 2-0. Snowback Mike technically 2-0. Having the best game of my life right now. I go one. He goes one. We go to game number three, Greg. It comes down to the wire. I got him down to four health. He takes two big swings at me, gets me down to one health. I am up against it. I'm holding broadcast takeover in my hands. All I need is a mountain card to save me. If I don't draw this mountain, I won't win and I'll lose next turn part of the cards said, here you go. Gave me the mountain, play the card, take over all of his artifacts, win the game. The greatest day of magic I've ever had in my entire life. I went from four events, 12 plus events each weekend.
