2:09Tim Gettys:Talking about taste, my mouth tastes like Kit Kats, because I ate a Kit Kat, and it doesn't feel good in the morning. So you don't have rules? You don't live a life of rules? No, fuck no. Boundaries? No, never. Let me not eat chocolate in the morning. No, let me, yeah, because I had a - What are we doing at this company? Yeah, I was like, yeah, let me go and go to the gym every day. And I'm like, nah, I woke up this morning, 7 a.m. I was like, I'm not doing that. Yeah, I feel that. Turned over, yeah, I'm not doing that shit. Last night, I was like, fuck it. I'm not doing the gym tomorrow morning.

2:32I was just too tired.

2:33Tim Gettys:It's not happening. It's not happening. This is not happening anymore for me. You think if I started doing cocaine that you would notice?

2:40Blessing Adeoye Jr.:Like, what are the telltale signs? I saw a video. Who was the video? I saw a video of somebody where they were doing an interview, and people were like, man, the person's coked up. And I was like, how can you tell? Was it a Snowback Mike video?

2:51Tim Gettys:I think you would, from my ideas of cocaine and being around a few people who have done cocaine, it's a lot of people kind of getting excited and telling me their ideas. That's what it comes down to.

3:03Blessing Adeoye Jr.:You're talking about just like fresh off of the...

3:06Tim Gettys:Yeah, yeah, yeah. They're like, oh my God, let me tell you an idea I had for a business. And it's like, I don't want to hear this. This sucks. There's like 10 people at this party. You have a problem. I feel like you'd be telling me your ideas all the time. Oh, we should start this podcast. I got a great, oh, no. How to tell if somebody's on cocaine. We got a great, oh.

3:22Blessing Adeoye Jr.:Dilated pupil. Is this real time? Here we go. Short-term invisible indicators. Dilated pupil and bloodshot eyes. Runny nose or frequent nosebleeds. You got the cocaine boogers. I already have number two. My nose is always running. I get nosebleeds all the time. Never had a nosebleed in my life. Really? Never. I got a deviated septum. That's why. Burned lips or fingers. I don't have that, I guess. White powder residue. Okay, that's kind of a cheating. Yeah, it's like, oh, how do you know this guy's smoking weed? It's like they smell like weed. Significant weight loss. Interesting. I could use that one, though.

3:50Interesting. I could use that one, though.

3:52Tim Gettys:Yeah. I don't know. I think I would tell pretty fast. Pretty fast. Oh, yeah, because if you are doing cocaine, you and everyone in this company, you're a very chill, kind of demure human being. You're kind of like, you're at your desk. You're chill. You're like, what up, Roger? If you're, like, excited to see me in the morning, it's over. If I'm doing the forbidden pre-workout? Like, if I did it before the gym in the morning, just as a way to, like, you know, I'll get myself up. You know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Don't do drugs, everybody. Don't do drugs. We're not saying do drugs. Definitely don't do drugs.

4:19But also, if I did, I feel like I'd make it for entertaining. Oh, okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. A little spice in life. A little spice in life. How are you doing, though? You doing good?

4:26Tim Gettys:I'm doing good. How are you doing? I'm doing good. I'm excited for Halloween, getting in the spooky move. You got any fun plans? Not really. A friend of mine is trying to get us to do a bar crawl. And I'm like, that seems like a lot. That seems like a lot. It's just like too many. yeah because it's like too many people are gonna be out it's like and it's also like an official bar crawl oh no not where it's like it's like a bar crawl for nerds yeah exactly if it's like oh we're going down this block and we're gonna go down to like five bars okay cool that's a fun time yeah it's like no we're doing like an official one people line up and do the whole thing i'm gonna tour guide yeah and i just got the text message and i kind of kind of looked and i sighed and i was just like it'll be fun with them i like them they're good friends of mine but it's like do i really want to do that or do i want to watch scream i've never seen the scream movies I'm very excited about that.

5:06Tim Gettys:How about you?

5:07Blessing Adeoye Jr.:Well, there was a party I was going to go to that got canceled. Was it the kind of funny party at the studio? Yes, it was. And so now, hit up my friend group. It seems like they're going to do, oh, they had a fun name for it, but basically like a game night where everybody smokes weed, but I don't smoke weed.

5:22Tim Gettys:So you're going to do cocaine.

5:26Blessing Adeoye Jr.:That brings us full circle. That's why I asked the question in the first place. Might do that. And then I kind of want to go out. You know what I mean? I'm kind of in the mood this year. I'm like yo let's

5:33Tim Gettys:If I go to a bar crawl I'll let you know Oh yeah let me know If you go to a bar crawl You won't show up Do they end up at clubs Or is it just like How do you want to go to a club I mean I don't know I went to a club I went to a club last year At Halloween I was so disappointed by it Maybe it was a shitty club But I was just like This is not the vibe I'm looking for right now In my life I just For me Maybe I'm just an old person Maybe I'm just like Not a cool guy The youngest person At the studio Yeah but maybe I just feel so old though Cause like all I want to do Is just hang out with my friends And watch movies and just either get high or drink.

6:02Tim Gettys:That's reasonable. Or just eat a lot of candy. That's all I want to do for Halloween. I don't want to go out for Halloween. I've never been that guy. Halloween to me is like, you stay at home, you give candy to the kids. Also, I'm going to be the cool fucking person. You're going to get the good candy? I'm going to give the good candy. And also, I got a few video games lying around that I just have. And I did that a few years ago. I had a moment last year. I will never forget it. I felt like fucking king of the world. Where I had, we went to a Blue Beetle screener. and i had just a bunch of random merch from blue beetle that they i just had in my closet for like a year yeah and then who walks down the last kid on my block fucking blue beetle and i walk over and i'm like here you go and he's like what here you go i've been waiting for you here's a bunch of garbage that i didn't want that it's gonna mean a lot to you and he liked it oh yeah he loved it yeah it was super cool so i'll be that i'll be that kid and i do have a copy of uh pac-man repack too i will be but here's the issue it's not it's not universal anymore right where you can't look at people and be like, oh, do you have a PS5?

6:56Tim Gettys:Here you go. You have to be like, do you have a PS5? Do you have a disc drive? Who has a disc drive on their PS5? You have a Steam Deck? What do you got? No one has that.

So today, after KFDD, you're going to get Gamescast, which is the last fantasy critic check-in of the year. It's going to get contentious. Do you think Mike will have a decision? No. We looked at him yesterday, and I was like, hey, do you have a decision?

8:04Tim Gettys:He's like, I got all year. I'm like, you don't really have all year. I got all year. I mean, he's not wrong. He doesn't have all year left. Yeah, and there's literally no one can steal one of his choices or anything. He's just kind of in a place where he can just say anything and do anything. True. I mean, technically, I don't think I've dropped anything throughout the year.

8:21Blessing Adeoye Jr.:So I have a free—I mean, I'm not going to drop one. because Possessors looks like it's going to be good. They finally got a date, so I'm not going to drop it. But if I wanted to get crazy, I could drop Possessors and spend the$2 I have on something.

8:34Tim Gettys:Yeah, you can pick up a football manager. That's finally coming out.

8:40Blessing Adeoye Jr.:Yeah, I don't know. Football manager, is that going to be good? They got the license, didn't they? But that's not kicking in. Yeah, but also, isn't FIFA corrupt? We don't like them, right? I mean, everybody's corrupt. FIFA, yes, they're very corrupt. Except for us, everybody. Except for us, as far as you know. What does Greg Miller be doing? Who knows? After Gamescast is Predator Killer of Killers in review. Then the stream after that is an NVIDIA Battlefield-sponsored stream. Hey!

Story number one, Nintendo announces Animal Crossing New Horizons Switch 2 edition and a free update to the base game. This is Wesley Yenpool at IGN. Nintendo has brought Animal Crossing New Horizons back into the big time with a Switch 2 edition and a free update to the base game.

11:56Tim Gettys:that happening and i was like that's not ever gonna happen yeah let me get let me get all my friends from the pandemic that have one video game and a switch light and they all get the switch 2

12:05Blessing Adeoye Jr.:version and play with me what are we talking about switch to uh play with friends via camera play Connect a compatible USB camera sold separately and see their reactions in game while exploring your island together. And both versions of the game will receive new features to experience, including Resort Hotel's grand opening. A resort hotel is opening on the pier and it's run by Captain's family. I already talked about that earlier in the thing. Making island life more convenient. Want a fresh start? Resetti is on hand with a convenient reset service to help tidy your island. Additionally, you can now upgrade your home storage to hold up to 9 ,000 items and store trees, shrubs, and flowers there, too.

12:41Blessing Adeoye Jr.:You got Slumber Island. Playing with a Nintendo Switch Online membership can design and save up to three islands and play with friends online. You can select the size and layout of the island, build and design it collaboratively. Access your—this actually sounds really cool. Access your inventory and decorate, plus invite residents from your home island. And finally, collaborations. Collect Nintendo items like the Ultra Hand and Nintendo consoles in-game to add some classic flair to your island. Switch Online members can play select Nintendo titles in-game when interacting with specific Nintendo console items too.

13:17Blessing Adeoye Jr.:Lego items will also make their debut in this update and use the select Zelda and Splatoon series amiibos to invite certain characters and unlock various items inspired by those series. I read a lot. No, it's good. But that's because they uploaded a 12-minute video with a lot of information. Out of nowhere, bro. Yeah.

13:32Tim Gettys:Out of nowhere. Woke up this morning, got the distinct honor and privilege of being able to surprise my fiancée, Lianza Montessir. And she is the biggest Animal Crossing fan that I know in my life. She has over 3 ,000 hours in Animal Crossing New Horizons. She adores everything about this game, but she also hates everything about this game. She's one of those fans that loves it so deeply, but sees how great it can be. So this has been the moment and the waiting of like, okay, when's the Switch 2 version coming out? I think at least my brain, when we had the first announcement of everything that was happening for Nintendo Switch 2, and there was no mention of Animal Crossing updates, I was like, okay, for sure they're just going to do another Animal Crossing game.

Read the full transcript

14:16Blessing Adeoye Jr.:Yeah, it's got to be a sequel.

14:16Tim Gettys:Yeah, we got to be getting a sequel in the next year or year and a half in order for them to justify not having this at launch or not having that pretty soon. I'll be like, hey, buy a Switch 2. You get all this stuff from Animal Crossing New Horizons. But no, we're doing an update. So that was that was kind of weird. But I got to show her this video and it was a lot of highs and a lot of like weird Nintendo decision faces from her. I don't know if you want to just go through and just like talk top level. I mean, what are the ones that stick? I think the one that sticks out the most to me is the 30 FPS.

14:46Tim Gettys:Yeah, I mean, that's from a nerd like you and I. That sucks. I was very much expecting the 60 FPS. I was expecting the 4K, of course. I mean, if we didn't have up-res visuals, what are we doing? But 30 FPS, that sucks. That really does suck. I would understand if they said, hey, 30 FPS when you have 12 people on your island. Okay, sure, if you have a million items or whatever, sure. But 30 FPS, oof. the only thing that I could justify 30 FPS is because there is so many islands that people have now cultivated like the ones that Lianza has that have so many items that on the Switch 1, that shit is dropping 15 frames per second, 12 frames per second just walking around, right?

15:27Tim Gettys:So maybe that's them just trying to build in like, hey, some islands, there's no way around this. It's going to drop frames because there's so many things, so much stuff happening in these islands so they're like, this is the cap of what we can go for but still you should at least have a dynamic 60 fps of like oh normal islands are 60 fps and then these insane islands for the weirdos those drop down to 30 fps so yeah that sucks uh game is coded at 30 fps uh someone says in the chat so yeah that's just disappointing but uh hopefully you know a real switch to uh animal crossing gets 60 fps but i digress uh the things that point out for me in terms of like quality of life that were really exciting for her was the upgrading of the inventory you go up to you can go from I think 6 ,000 to 9 ,000 or 5 ,000 to 9 ,000 now 9 ,000 yeah no no not over 9 ,000 just 9 ,000 just 9 ,000 no no not over 9 ,000 you can store trees shrubs and flowers there that's huge and as we're seeing right now Resetti that was a huge pop for her she was like why the fuck is Resetti walking around why is he walking around because that's a big deal like that's this motherfucker's in the ground all the time he's just walking around you can walk up to him and you can just have him clear off massive parts of your island or just smaller parts of your island like the like your house or the or your immediate area around it so that saves countless dozens of hours of just terraforming and breaking things down and just doing monotonous bullshit tasks uh lianza has an entire section of her island that's just all trash but she doesn't have enough time to pick up the trash and get rid of it so having just resetti walk up there and be like okay throw this all in the garbage like save so much fucking time right uh the slumber island i think is also the biggest thing here because uh the animal crossing community has been uh desperately wanting multiple islands uh right now you could only design the one island that you have but being able to have multiple islands has been a dream including the fact that a lot of uh hardcore animal crossing fans have like modded their games to have multiple islands which Lanza may or may not have already done.

17:29Tim Gettys:And then, and then, yeah, she was like using like fucking like, it was kind of concerning. She was like, I need, um, aluminum foil to like put inside of the fucking, uh, the SD card treatment. Yeah. It was insane. And then, and then it came to a point where I think she was annoyed by it. Cause it's like a dual boot situation. So then she was like, I'm just going to take your switch. You don't play in this game. I'm like, no, I'm not. And I just gave her the switch and she just wiped my island and restarted. Yeah. That's how like she's fiending for this game. So the 3000 hours is not even including a 3000, the, you know, whatever hours that she's done on my own switch that she's using.

18:00Tim Gettys:So basically she has, you can now have the main Island that you are in, and then you have dream islands. So you can go to sleep, go into deep slumber, and you can basically go into sandbox mode where you can bring in your villagers. You can build up islands. You can choose the size of your Island and you can choose the time of day, the weather, and you can bring in, and you can bring in your friends to help terraform and build out the island with you which uh lanza brought out brought up a really good uh point of like content creators i was

18:31Blessing Adeoye Jr.:gonna say gary woulda probably would love something exactly but also like having these

18:35Tim Gettys:content creators that their whole thing is like hey i build these amazing beautiful islands now you can have another content creator that their whole thing is building a similar type of island and now you guys can build an island together and kind of have this uh this vibe and it's a fun time and also for friends to be able to, hey, I need some help. You have a few hours to kill. Okay, help me build out this island, just destroy a bunch of stuff. Again, we talk about the weird Nintendo decisions. Lanza pointed out the fact that this game feels kind of stale and lifeless a lot of times. So now having another island that is inside of a slumber island that's kind of like this weird dreamscape where you can't really interact with your characters, or at least from the vibes that they've shown, It doesn't seem like you're interacting with the villagers in the same ways that you are in the regular world.

19:23Tim Gettys:It just kind of seems like you drop them in and it's like, oh, it's for show. But like you're not actually like doing the normal things that you do from a day to day perspective, like, you know, the fetch quests or any of that. It's just kind of like a design situation. So a little disappointing there, but still exciting that you can do multiple things like that. and then the other thing of course is the resort hotel which you kind of popped at the idea of being able to design little rooms for villagers that are coming in from different islands which is cool but it's also a it's kind of weird that they're doing this in my opinion because this is kind of what they already did with the happy home paradise DLC which it has a separate island and it's essentially this idea where it's like oh this villager wants this type of home and you just build a home for them so it's kind of them folding in a paid dlc into the free game yeah um so a little bizarre but it's cool that it's there for everybody uh and uh the collaborations are dope uh you know having zelda splatoon of course developed by the same studio lego lego lego's fun

20:22Blessing Adeoye Jr.:lego's really cool lego's really cool i but i i have a little bit of beef with in this one i don't play animal crossing new horizons like that but where they say that if you have a switch online you can play classic Nintendo titles in-game by interacting with the systems. It's like, man, just eliminate the Switch Online requirement. Just put a fucking Dr. Mario. Yeah, like they bought Animal Crossing. Let them just play Dr. Mario in Animal Crossing, you know? Yeah. Like for me, it brings me back to when I went in DK64, because everything comes back to DK64 for me. Of course. You could play the original Donkey Kong, and I'm like, I'm having that back-in-my-day feeling, you know what I mean?

20:56Blessing Adeoye Jr.:I wasn't getting nickel and dimed. That shit was in the game. That shit was, they let me play the games in the game, so. Yeah.

21:02Tim Gettys:but you know imagine you need a ps plus to play uh crash mandakoot in uncharted 4 yeah

21:09Blessing Adeoye Jr.:but it's nintendo we're nintendo's gonna nintendo weird nintendo's yeah all that five dollars not bad yeah for the upgrade that's actually yeah that's kind of where you want to be yeah i saw

21:18Tim Gettys:people being like oh it's just a resolution upgrade five bucks is a lot but it's like i don't know i i i think that that's a perfectly fine amount of money it's just a little bit weird that you know the 12 person online thing that if you want 12 people you have to have everybody on

21:31Blessing Adeoye Jr.:the switch twos sure i get it like a technical it definitely is for sure is but i i get it but

21:37Tim Gettys:it's just more of like yeah i don't know that's not really a selling point because i don't have i don't think i have 12 people that switch twos that would want to play this game with me um mouse controls that's cool uh that that's easy and a simple thing i think my perfect world that i think lians is perfect world as well was like then just giving you the option to just fully terraform the entire island with mouse controls going up like becoming god like fucking i don't know sim city or something like that i know that breaks the game in a certain way but i think a lot of hardcore power users of this game that are 3 000 hours deep just just don't want to fucking deal with it but this rounds a lot of the edges and uh it seems like you know this is this is a solid update that when are we getting the next animal crossing i mean i think that's the that's

22:19Blessing Adeoye Jr.:what the conversation kind of turns into right because like coming into this we started off this conversation with oh man i thought this was gonna be a sequel oh i thought this was gonna be a brand new thing the fact that it is not only is it a like remaster is not the right word but i guess a current gen version um it is also titled as such right it's funny because we talked about uh the kirby plus star cross worlds or you know the they usually have the plus title and like whatever the dlc name is for a lot of these upgrades for switch the fact that this is straight up animal crossing new horizons switch to edition yeah um i think for me that pushes out the next animal crossing way further it also makes me wonder like is animal crossing new horizons switch to edition gonna be like mario card 8 deluxe where we really don't see the next animal crossing until end of generation to like next gen type thing i think so is this them banking on oh animal crossing new horizons was so popular that we can get so many more sales again by just making

23:20Tim Gettys:a current gen version of this game yeah no i i think so i think that this is uh this is their moment of we're gonna push this back uh as far as humanly possible and uh i think they want to have first of all that team is busy right that busy the team is busy as fuck i mean they're making splatoon pretty sure they're making splatoon raiders right they have to be oh yeah so like we forget that this is the same team that's doing both of these things and these are you know splatoon is clearly a franchise that uh nintendo wants to be successful is successful and they're going to try to iterate with with splatoon raiders and potentially splatoon 4 i would assume we were gonna get that pretty soon-ish before the generation ends right so that's three games if you include another animal crossing that they have to work on animal crossing is a huge endeavor you see what they have here like there's so many items there's so much expectation for this fan base of what they want from a next generation uh video game from the animal crossing world so you really have to put everything into making new items into feeling this to making this feel like not just an update so the fact that we're getting an update kind of makes me excited about how much of a generational leap you're going to get with another animal crossing of like how far we can push this thing but yeah to your point this is not going to happen anytime soon now yeah like this has to be you know 2029 right like yeah i mean that's it's crazy saying those numbers now out loud

24:41Blessing Adeoye Jr.:for people on youtube by the way because i know youtube went down for a second so we probably skipped forward in conversation but we're talking about when we're going to see the next major animal crossing installment and yet like i think now you're talking you're talking at least 2029 depending on how well this does i wouldn't be surprised if you see it even further out yeah that's like i wouldn't be surprised we're talking about switch three for animal crossing my other

25:01Tim Gettys:question is because the last update for an uh for animal crossing they were like from everything i gathered they said it or at least it was very very like strongly hinted that that was gonna be the last update and the fact that we got like a 3.0 update for animal crossing is kind of wild do they just update animal crossing now in the next generation into the switch to life where we're like hey we're just going to keep on adding new things to it and then we just kind of hold over the fans right up until 2029 i think that my question then becomes how much how much more can

25:30Blessing Adeoye Jr.:you add is this the kind of yes are we in a place where it's like we can keep going and going going

25:35Tim Gettys:and make this into a platform i think we're past it they fucked it up already like i think those first DLCs would have been the moment to make that happen to continue to push that forward but unless there's a massive groundswell behind this thing unless there's a lot of people going out there that really want the 12 you know players they have 12 of their friends that all have switch twos and they're all pulling together the money to make that happen I just I just don't see it man I just don't see them being able to make that into a platform uh and when we speculate for the next one that's that's the one that they have to be putting all their effort into trying to make that into a platform into something that's like ever expandable and updatable but it's nintendo we're talking about nintendo i know i know i know i know i know my my i guess my hard prediction

26:18Blessing Adeoye Jr.:here is i'm gonna say i'm gonna go with you i'm gonna say 2029 2028 2029 but i wouldn't be surprised if it gets pushed further out right like there's somebody in chat earlier that was like why would like why wouldn't they make another one of like their best-selling things i'm like they did it for mario kart yeah they put out mario kart 8 deluxe and didn't put out one for the next generation. And I think the biggest

26:41Tim Gettys:telltale sign of this not happening anytime soon is the fact that they're putting this out physical. I know that they've done that for all the other stuff, but the fact that you can go to a GameStop, you can go online, you can go to Amazon, you're going to see Nintendo Switch 2 Animal Crossing. That, to me, shows that that is their point of this is an Animal Crossing game for the Nintendo Switch 2. If you want it, you can get it, and we'll keep on pushing it forward. And again, when it comes to Mario Kart 8, a little bit of a different situation, because I think that that was I mean correct me if I'm wrong tell me tell me what the differences are between the Wii U version and the Switch Switch version it was there like a lot of differences or was it just a visual

27:17Blessing Adeoye Jr.:upgrade I mean it was a visual upgrade I know they'd made they changed some of like the key features I think the items worked maybe slightly differently correct but it wasn't like a huge jump like a lot of all the DLC was in there I think they added some more stuff uh as well okay but it wasn't like it wasn't a different game okay so this is sort of comparable I would say kind

27:33Tim Gettys:of comparable yeah okay okay okay so I yeah I didn't I didn't play I didn't play it until much later so i don't know that connection there um but yeah i i'm excited i'm excited to for lanza to jump into this i'm excited for the community to jump into this but i i wouldn't get your hopes up for a 2027 animal crossing anytime soon damn damn crazy heartbreaker uh

27:52Blessing Adeoye Jr.:let's keep in the conversation with nintendo story number two nintendo has been denied a patent in japan for a pokemon-like capturing mechanic this is chris scolian at video games chronicle Nintendo has been denied a patent in Japan for a capturing mechanic similar to those seen in some Pokemon games. The application was made in March 2024 and partly describes the act of catching a character in-game in a method that appears to be similar to that in Pokemon Let's Go Pikachu slash Eevee games. However, as spotted by Gamesfray, the application has now been rejected by the Japan Patent Office, the JPO, after it looked at prior art examples of the invention being used before the application was made.

28:33Blessing Adeoye Jr.:which had been submitted by a third party. Who's that third party, you might ask? Did it rhyme with rocket pair? Who knows? Who knows? The notice of refusal published by the JPO says, quote, the inventions claimed in this application were invented in Japan or elsewhere before the filing of the application, end quote. It then cites examples of games like Ark, Craftopia, Monster Hunter 4, and Pokemon Go, which have mechanics which could fall under the descriptions in the application, suggesting those ideas already existed. While the JPO's refusal isn't binding on the ongoing legal battle between Nintendo and Power World Studio Pocket Pair, especially because Nintendo can still appeal or amend the application, it's noted that judges tend to respect the decisions made by patent examiners who have more training in this field.

29:20Blessing Adeoye Jr.:As such, Pocket Pair could point to this application refusal in an attempt to influence the judge's decision. Oh, influence the judge's decision. Here's the thing. tell me i i as much as i look at power world and i'm like deal y 'all this is i think some of it is blatant as far as like how much it's taking from pokemon i think this patent was bullshit oh yeah like you try to you're trying to patent capturing a monster now now 2025 yeah you had your chance you had your chance a long time ago no like that's not the part of this that's like egregious when it comes to the when it comes to power world yeah so what pocketberry is doing i just think it's so

30:01Tim Gettys:fascinating man i wish i i've seen smarter people online try to explain it to me but i just think it's always so funny as a normie reading all of this of like this is the way that they have to go around trying to get to pal world yeah it's to try to do the capturing mechanics and not the fact that these motherfuckers look the same yeah it's like they made a lucario in the game i think that

30:20Blessing Adeoye Jr.:i'm like that's that's lucario but then nintendo has to be like ah you know lucario is original capturing of it all but lucario is also not an original you know like that's fucking based off of anubis like everything oh yeah i think is also based off of things which i don't know if that's what makes it so hard honestly i don't know if that's the thing but it's it is a weird argument it is like a such a tough thing to get around especially when there are so many examples of everybody copying each other right like pokemon wasn't the first monster capturing game there have been so many monster capturing games since pokemon like i i i think you get into such a weird place which is why to your point yeah they probably went after this very specific thing that's also a very dumb thing like a dumb i guess dumbly worded patent um in the way that is presented but yeah it's like such an interesting saga this is a step back on the nintendo side good and honestly good yes like i don't want them to win this i think because if they win this

31:11Tim Gettys:and that means that yakuza's fucked too because they have their own version of pokemon right there a lot of people are fucked no but like let's talk about yakuza they're the main they're the main targets of this this is none of this is like a way for them to get at yakuza they're like hey listen we don't like ichiban and his whole his whole gang doesn't even know they have a fucking pokemon capturing thing what do they call it in that game uh sujimon sujimon something like that but that's pretty egregious i mean it is but like if i'm nintendo i'm like let's look at look at digimon first yeah let's try to finally capture our enemies we have the we have nintendo has a list like they have the trump list right there where it's like digimon's number one power world's number two yakuza's number three god you ever play that power world uh no i was never interested in it but i'm i'm so fascinated by the story of power world what's the is it craftopia is that the one they're making that's the craft oh is that the i think so i saw people talking about

32:05Blessing Adeoye Jr.:in the chat craftopia yeah which is funny because nintendo uh or the pokemon company also announced their crafting game with pokemon that looks nasty that it looks fucking nasty that's a nasty game right there and that's the name of that pokey pokey uh poquetopia that's pretty close that's kind of crazy yeah insane dude um roger hi we got other things to talk about enough about this nintendo stuff we're gonna talk about amazon but before we get there i want to talk to you about patreon.com slash kind of funny and youtube.com slash kind of funny games we can get the kind of funny membership which allows you to get shows ad free and speaking of ads let us tell you about of sponsors.

33:28Blessing Adeoye Jr.:saying here yelsing writes in and says unless they change the way people join islands 12 people sounds like a nightmare having to wait 30 plus seconds each time someone joins or leaves oh yeah

33:37Tim Gettys:that thing oh yeah you're waiting a long time it's also the it's just the animations baked into it but we saw with the switch 2 version of the game not switch 2 version just the switch 2 and playing it on the switch 2 the game uh ran a lot faster um in terms of the loading times so those were way shorter uh so i'm hopeful that that is like cut at least in half but yeah that'd be hilarious if it's just 30 seconds plus waiting for every one of your fucking 12 friends to come in i hope the day kind of make that a little bit better of an experience bg2580 writes in and says pikmin 4

34:10Blessing Adeoye Jr.:is getting a free content update but not a switch 2 edition but animal crossing is does that mean pikmin 5 is coming soon i mean we saw the fucking weird trailer the weird weird commercial that we don't know what was that yeah i think that's more the canary in the coal mine of like why is pikmin so back in the conversation for nintendo between the weird short film they did with nintendo productions and now the free update i think that's just them keeping their ip active right like i think like it would make even as just much sense if pikmin 5 is five years away and nintendo is like well we don't want to just sit on this we don't want pikmin to just be absent for how long it's going to take to make the next one i don't yeah i don't think this is a sign that is that

34:51Tim Gettys:it's around the corner ah i feel like it might be though the more i think about that yeah i mean if we're doing if we're not doing a switch to edition that would then be physical and in stores yeah i think that that's the way that's the telling sign of this all but here's my thing right do we not

35:07Blessing Adeoye Jr.:extrapolate that then to every single nintendo first party title oh if it didn't get a switch two thing then that means they're making a sequel right and that's about to come out right now i

35:15Tim Gettys:mean not right now but i do think that we can extrapolate from that a little bit better like i if animal crossing never got the switch to update i think you and i would still have this conversation i would still have the conversation of like oh no that means animal crossing's right around the quarter but that's because it's animal crossing sure animal crossing different than pikmin sure sure sure sure but also but also you know it's also weird to then print a bunch of pikmin 4 copies put it into the wild and be like also pikmin 5 is coming out next year like that doesn't seem like a shrewd business decision but also that is nintendo they don't really yeah you know it's hard to extrapolate anything from nintendo's operations and the way they do anything but because they're bizarre company yeah they are bizarre company but also i i will never put it past them putting making another pikmin game pretty soon just because miyamoto loves that franchise so much and i think he has pull over there of course so i i think that they as as long as miyamoto is kicking around at nintendo he's gonna there's gonna be pikmin stuff in the work so i wouldn't be surprised if we have a pikmin pretty soon um bander ascend says animal crossing

36:12Blessing Adeoye Jr.:update feels catered to animal crossing youtubers lots of ways to make builds uh way quicker and without having to reset everything i know you talked about that earlier the portland kevin says i got a disc drive ps5 send me a game to review uh jordan deep says game awards tickets just went on sale if anyone is going this year feel free to reach out would love to meet up with kfbs and even split in airbnb hell yeah hell yeah uh opinus prime says if we gotta wait another two or three years for a new animal crossing now it better be good uh it makes my ding dong shoot out my bing bong so good it makes my ding dong shoot out my bing bong all right they're not wrong yes they are they're not wrong i'm trying to i'm trying to play this new animal crossing game and be like oh ding dong bing bong like it's such like a you remember when uh i forget what game there was a whole debate about like um maybe it was like horizon or some shit right like somebody was like where are you going with this the protagonist isn't fucking hot enough or whatever like people were complaining about this sure and somebody quote tweeted and was like i don't play video games to come yeah apparently apparently with animal crossing apparently i'm

37:20Tim Gettys:playing games the wrong way listen i'm gonna let that one slide you know i mean if they're talking about aloy okay that's all horrible you can't say that no animal crossing okay you know what i mean if you play the oh this game is so sick you see russetti and you're like oh uh brandon mayier

37:34Blessing Adeoye Jr.:writes in and says please check out the new startup console cal quartercade new startup up console cal like concert console calendar console cal kestis is this a quarter arcade quartercade so yeah quarter arcade quartercade look look that up for me and then denessa writes in and says happy arc raiders day if anyone needs a third fellow raider count me in discord is studly 360 exactly how it sounds that for the xbox 360 the greatest console of all time studly 360 um you find anything about quartercade uh i think it maybe is this a coin operated thing but no that can't be it this i yeah i don't know oh these look cool like you're talking about these yeah these arcade machines some didn't they say calendar please check out new startup console listen it might be an acronym cool articulate lad quartercade console keep looking for it as i move on to story number three amazon have reportedly canceled their lord of the rings mmo again you find it i think so i'll put it i'll put it we'll do it during the renews i'm pulling from edwin evans thurwell at rock paper shotgun amazon have canceled their second attempt at a lord of the rings mmo as part of recent mass layoffs according to a now former senior gameplay engineer at amazon games the engineering question is ashley amren who announced that she had lost her job on linkedin yesterday quote this morning i was part of the layoffs at amazon games alongside my incredibly talented peers on new world and our fledgling lord of the rings game y 'all would have loved it she wrote i reached out to amazon for comment amazon's first lord of the rings mmo was a collaboration with chinese company liu announced in 2019 it met an unfortunate end in 2021 thanks to an apparent contractual dispute after liu were acquired by tencent amazon revealed the second lord of the rings mmo in 2023 after partnering with new middle earth rights owner embracer they called it a persistent open world mmo adventure spanning the events of the hobbit and lord of the rings trilogy but beyond that beyond we've never heard much about the project

39:45Tim Gettys:are we ever going to see a lord of the rings i mean embracer is a part of this right so they're gonna try to shit something out there uh i don't know if we've seen an mmo specifically mmo is just such a it's a tough one that's a very expensive project to put a lot of money into and then also you never know what that uh what that return on investment looks like and it's also such a forward uh continuously money uh pit of a situation there um i don't know this this is i was talking about we're talking about this when this all broke uh on games daily with me and mike uh earlier this week and he was talking about mike was making the point of like hey lord of the rings huge ip wouldn't Amazon want to be a part of this?

40:25Tim Gettys:And I was pushing back and saying, I don't know what Amazon wants anymore when it comes to video games. It's the same conversation we've had with any of these huge corporations when they come into, specifically tech corporations, when they come into the video game space. It's like, what is your goalposts here? How much money are you trying to make? What is your ends when it comes to these video game franchises? And I just don't see the way that they are positioning, the way that they have positioned Luna and their Snoop Dogg AI courtroom video game and then focusing on mobile games and casual experiences.

40:57Tim Gettys:I saw this and I was like, there's no way that if this does even come out that it will get the success that they're looking for. So my heart goes out to all the developers that lost their job and the fact that this game was canceled because apparently, as the developer over here said, it looked really cool and was shaping up to be dope. But yeah, I mean, this is what is happening when it comes to Amazon and specifically with all their other projects now, which I look and I have to put a question mark next to fucking Lara Croft and Tomb Raider, right? Like, that's going to happen. That's probably going to come out.

41:29Tim Gettys:They have a TV show coming out soon or a movie or whatever, some project with Tomb Raider. They have this game that's probably happening. So that's going to come out. But, like, there's no way in hell that that is successful enough for them to continue to develop that franchise and to invest even more money into that. They have a racing game apparently in development. like amazon is in this place where i think they're just gonna shoot out everything that they have that is in a place that they can't just turn back on uh and then they're just gonna cancel all those projects or or run away from those teams and then we're gonna focus on stoop dog we're gonna do chris pratt ai movie video game and then we're just gonna keep on doing that until that eventually dries up and then they just focus on you know ruining the james bond franchise yeah in film

42:14Blessing Adeoye Jr.:so that's gonna be it yeah it's funny um you know i know you mentioned you and mike were talking about me and greg were also having a separate conversation based on a separate amazon news story uh the other day and like one of the things that i brought up was the fact that in a separate timeline where a rock moved left instead of right like a lot of these things could have aligned yeah you know what i mean like i feel like i look at this a lord of the rings mmo and i look at what their output has been as far as uh new world and lost ark and there was blue protocol that was supposed to come out and there was crucible and a lot of these like online focused things if that had led off with that original lord of the rings mmo and if it had come out and actually like like actually worked people actually liked it feels at least good yeah i could have seen that being the all right that's what we needed to lead off the charge i think i look at new world and i'm like i know people like new world i know that's a good video game same with lost ark right as far as i remember people like the lost ark but i don't think those had the recognition slash like the standout ability right the ability to stand out from the pack to make people go ah shit we got to log on to a new world tonight you know what I mean but even then like

43:18Tim Gettys:sure it didn't have the thing that's like pushing it to be like the number one video game in the world at least you know past the month of it releasing but it had like 10 ,000 people playing it concurrently at the time of like the news was breaking that this was all getting canceled right like that's not an insignificant amount of people right like of course we want we want they want higher numbers right but like when it comes to a video game launch and like continuing that momentum of like people playing it like it was doing a fine job it's just that amazon is just their priorities are not fucking straight like they don't know what they they want they want bigger and bigger they want you know world of warcraft and they're never going to get that you know what i mean they were looking at this like maybe this can be world of warcraft like no you can't you that's that's such an outdated way of thinking of things you got to kind of have to build these communities brick by brick by brick and then eventually it will become something special you can't just turn around and be like i made this one game now it's the biggest thing in the world and we can just kind of you know rest on our laurels like that's not how this well i think

44:10Blessing Adeoye Jr.:that's my thing is like i think there's a there's something to set to be said about having being able to have a flagship to be like all right if new world's getting 10k like we have lord of the rings that's still doing like not that that would have gotten 100 000 or whatever because you're then talking about like the rare one percent like less than one percent of video games or whatever but i do think that between all these different titles there was a little bit of identity that was being formed and i think lord of the rings could have centered that in a way to make people go hey this is what amazon games is and like i mean beyond that you would have to make a lot of decisions in order to make that a thing that has synergy with twitch and amazon luna and all these different things but you know i look at what amazon has as a company and i'm like you're one of the fucking biggest companies in the world like how not that how are you not able to make this work work because obviously like to make a to become a video game publisher on a large scale that's a very tough thing even for the biggest tech companies but man did you have a lot of the resources and a lot of the things you were going about it lineup they're going about it in a unique

45:06Tim Gettys:fashion as you're pointing out right they're all they're doing these uh mmo live service video games that have an audience that are mainly locked in on pc and they were catering towards those people yeah i i do think the bigger bigger issue here they're not talking about when it comes to lord of the rings is not that that ip is dead at all of course people love lord of the rings it's a massive franchise but i think it's lost a little bit of its luster in the last like five to ten years uh specifically with uh of course the tv show that came out and just like the most expensive yeah most expensive television show in streaming history or whatever the fuck and then it's just no one's really watching it it's not really captivating that audience people don't really love it they say the season two is better but yada yada yada it's not it's not being the game of thrones that they wanted it to be and then we have golem we have this fucking animated movie that they shit out into uh theaters that no one watched right that it's good but you know whatever like no one's caring about this enough to go to watch this anime in theaters like i don't think the franchise has had its moment you know hobbit movies of course uh and now we're trying to remake it and do like another you know an mmo no they're trying to do a movie oh you're talking about a movie i was talking about the movies and then now we're doing an mmo so it's like i don't know not again not that this couldn't have worked because i'm sure it would have done very successful numbers and if they were to time this specifically with the next movie or whatever big franchise hit that they were going for.

46:24Tim Gettys:But still, it was a smart idea maybe 10 years ago. And now we're in this weird place with MMOs and with Lord of the Rings that I don't know. I don't know.

46:33Blessing Adeoye Jr.:Yeah, the one thing I'll say in rebuttal is that I think Lord of the Rings has had successful MMOs in the past and stuff. I'm pretty, right? Like, I forget the name of the ones I'm thinking of. Lord of the Rings? Yeah. I'm pretty sure. and I know Lord of the Rings has had plenty of successful video games whether we're talking about Shadow and Ward or there was like another The Two Kings, yeah and so I think there's enough of like the video game legacy there where even if you're lacking on the movie side and on that like entertainment side I think you can still put out a MMO or a bigger Lord of the Rings game and have people get excited about it because there's that lineage, but you're right in order to make it work at the utmost at the highest level, you kind of have to like the IP has to be in a great place yeah the ip has to be in a place where it's like oh yeah this is relevant people fuck with lord of the rings and i don't know if right now is definitely your point the time yeah i think

47:21Tim Gettys:it's just i think we're going down again it's not down to the you know below the ground but i do think it's it's not in a great place and uh to go back to what you're saying yeah there is a lord of the rings mmo called the lord of the rings mmo uh that's old school it's still going on yeah still still active still people in chat are saying lord of the rings online is getting an expansion in december yeah so people are still playing it so there is a lord of the rings mmo out there um but yeah i i don't see amazon continuing their strategy of video games in the triple a uh past 2027 2028 they're probably they're probably they're pulling out as much as they can what's that mmo that you want if we can make anything an mmo hear me out simpsons simpsons mmo i mean we have the fortnite i mean we are getting that fortnite so it looks good from everything i'm seeing that looks really good i'm excited about that i feel like me and you would fuck with a family guy mmo honestly i mean this is cheating and this is going to sound like the most humor answer ever but it's like what a fortnight i guess kind of built out some type of like ever everlasting thing i don't know because you have all the ip you found the wrong answer you found the wrong answer everybody you gotta say yakuza you know what i mean like yakuza i don't want oh avatar you don't want to like a dragon mmo no okay fair enough i don't want

48:31Blessing Adeoye Jr.:that uh oh avatar is like wait we're talking about blue people avatar or i just i've always

48:35Tim Gettys:wanted the idea of dc universe to work for me and i boot up that game and even like on the ps4 i'm like this game looks old as fuck like i want this game but not this so like yeah i would love a dc universe type thing that was like done up again um one piece is great one piece is a great answer over there um mario over there i want to hate but you're right one piece is a great answer one piece is a great answer i want to hate pokemon is the right answer though a pokemon mmo pokemon's the real answer we really want in our hearts the tough thing is like who makes that because it's not game freak i mean it's not even game freak is freaking right now they're going crazy yeah they're like ps5 games or whatever yeah whatever that one game was that they showed off at summer game fest that looked incredible there's a digimon mmo that's crazy did you want with two with two

49:23Blessing Adeoye Jr.:ms never mind i try to make a joke i try to do a thing no i see it i see it you see the vision do your rapper no i'm not doing my rapper i have a stream planned by the way on my personal stream that's called proving roger wrong i'm gonna make a whole verse a whole song no but you have to use that verse though you have to use that verse and then break it i like i'm gonna use that line i like how everybody kind of funny is built on spite i like i was thinking about this last night i was driving last night and i was driving real fast i have a rap line that i wrote that out of context right but it's it's fire roger doesn't want to believe it's fire i'm not gonna tell y 'all because y 'all advert it's a bad line but like you got you don't when it fits into the verse that i'm thinking of because now i'm thinking of the scheme of like what's going to be the connective tissue and i'm gonna name drop a bunch of podcasts in it chad he his rap line they buttoned up against

50:11Tim Gettys:me like i'm the average joe think about it the first line his the the the bar that he had involved podcasts and i was looked at him i was like that's there's not there's nothing hard about a podcast there's nothing cool yeah but it's not about the it's about the rhyming though

50:25Blessing Adeoye Jr.:You know what I mean

50:27Tim Gettys:You gotta do it You can't go around this You have to just do it

50:30Blessing Adeoye Jr.:No I'm gonna make a full fucking song Is what I'm gonna do

50:32Tim Gettys:But just do the line right now No People can start thinking about it No cause I'm embarrassed

50:39Blessing Adeoye Jr.:No I'm not gonna do it out of context Now I need the full song So you can see the vision You think fucking Picasso Would show you his first fucking brush stroke No he shows you the finished thing When it's all done

50:52Tim Gettys:He did that's in the loop

50:56Blessing Adeoye Jr.:oh his first brush from yeah story number four Mortal Kombat Legacy Collection reviews are out I got a review roundup for you Metacritic on Metacritic is sitting at an 88, god I can't talk 89 on OpenCritic is sitting at an 87 Alessandro Polari at IGN gave it an 8 out of 10 and said Mortal Kombat Legacy Collection is not only a great roundup of the franchise's earliest hits, it's also a tremendous history lesson on the building of a fighting game franchise that remains influential today. I do wish the compilation covered more of the noticeable gaps in time toward the end, and there were further efforts to tweak the tuning of some infamously imbalanced enemy AI.

51:36Blessing Adeoye Jr.:Even still, the Lexi collection is a great package that offers the best way to play classic Mortal Kombat and learn about both the series itself and the people who made it. And then Brian Shea at Game Informer gave it an 8.75 out of 10, and says the level of care with which digital clips creates its compilations is unrivaled. Though the online suite isn't complete at launch, each game plays exceptionally well and offers a plethora of options to tweak the classic experiences to your liking. Getting excellent versions of these games in one cohesive package is great, but the true highlight is the in-depth interactive documentary and all the fun relics that exist therein.

52:13Blessing Adeoye Jr.:Mortal Kombat Legacy Collection is not only the best way to play these games in 2025, but it's also the best way to peek behind the curtain and witness the creation of a modern day icon.

52:22Tim Gettys:This is all good and all. Yeah, yada, yada, yada. We love game preservation. We love these old games. Where's the PS2 edition? Okay, here's the thing. I 1000 % agree with you. You're fucking right. Give me Shaolin Monks. Give me Deception. Give me Annihilation. Bro. First of all, Armageddon, right? Oh. Annihilation, I think, is a movie.

52:40Blessing Adeoye Jr.:Annihilation, I think, was a YouTube series. Yeah, you're right.

52:42Tim Gettys:That's how locked I am on the Mortal Kombat franchise. Yeah, no, that's a wild drop.

52:48Blessing Adeoye Jr.:To drop Mortal Kombat and Nihil.

52:50Tim Gettys:Armageddon, dude, I remember that box art. It was the chrome one, right? That was like the silver chrome with the red logo on it with the fucking spike. Dude. Armageddon. I, yeah, this is awesome. This is great. Oh, you're right. Yeah. Yeah, tried to get this on Fantasy Critic. It won't let me do it. Wait, you tried to get this on Fantasy Critic? Of course, yeah. It's just a collection of old games. That's a partial remake. It's not a partial remake. Yeah, they had to remake a lot of stuff. No, it's not. I've been playing this

53:16Blessing Adeoye Jr.:I'm not going to say I've been playing this I played it I played this for one moment I played it for maybe an hour at my desk just perusing through this is one I've been excited for just because I love Mortal Kombat but I'm kind of with you that I have way more of a nostalgia and more experience with the PS2 Mortal Kombat games and thereafter I have like that girl's statue is fucking sick Mortal Kombat as a franchise special franchise to me i absolutely love it um i got dude i got emotional actually when i booted this up because it's the classic games it's mortal kombat 1 2 3 uh mortal kombat 4 they have i believe the sub-zero uh action game in there um but what i forgot or i guess i guess what i didn't expect for them to have was the game boy version of mortal kombat 1 which i did have as a kid that was my first mortal combat game was playing the most the most lo-fi mortal combat you can imagine that's awesome six characters oh like you know no blood no color on the screen uh i am pressing back and a to do like my little sweep kick over and over again and that's how you win the game you just do that over and over and over again that was the first one i booted up and immediately brought me back to being a fucking child and i was like man this is how beautiful is that that they can do stuff like that.

54:36Blessing Adeoye Jr.:It was so cool. Yeah, and it's just probably

54:37Tim Gettys:just like just in there. There's a small little thing in there. You just press it. Oh, wow, that's my whole childhood.

54:41Blessing Adeoye Jr.:That gives like half a megabyte. Yeah, exactly.

54:44Tim Gettys:Just threw it on there. That's really cool. It's important to have developers like this that are putting in the work, putting in the behind-the-scenes stuff, which I think is so cool. Yeah. And again, I genuinely hope that this does well enough for them to do the PS2 games because I think they will. I think they'll eventually get up there. Dude, I hope so. I hope so because I think it would be so fun. It would be a great moment and also I want to see the behind the scenes stuff because that that is my childhood that is

55:05Blessing Adeoye Jr.:my fucking childhood so man that's really cool it was really cool I did boot up also the modern or not modern sorry the I guess arcade versions so I really like how they do it because they have um of all the games arcade version or not all of them but for a lot of them arcade versions console versions they'll show you the outline of which console it came out on which is neat um I played Mortal Kombat 4 in it might have said this the other day but didn't say much about it I played Mortal Kombat 4, the arcade version. Now, Roger, when I was younger, I played the N64 version of Mortal Kombat 4. That shit was trash.

55:37Blessing Adeoye Jr.:That shit fucking sucked. I hate it. I never played the arcade version of this game. Arcade version of this game, surprisingly better than the N64 version of this game. Still not the best. Still not like a fantastic game, in my opinion. But just the visuals alone, I was like, damn. All right. Now I see what they were doing. Now you get it. Now you understand. I don't know what was going on with the ports back in the day. Talking about ports.

55:58Tim Gettys:the chat someone in the chat said deadly alliance is in this and it's a ps2 game and then someone corrected me and said it's the gba version it is the gba version ps2 version and then i just started looking at uh mortal kombat uh deadly alliance and man also memories man what a fucking go to dude i saw something on that when i was at the gym they were showing ads for what's the new mortal kombat is it mortal kombat 1 or is it the second it's like the second movie no no sorry the game oh the game the newest game the latest game is mortal kombat 1 yes they're showing ads on television for mortal combat one why because they're like oh we got the complete edition complete package buy it right now and it's like damn that's crazy like warner brothers really got nothing going on yeah y 'all really got nothing no games that's nuts well roger yeah if they ever do

56:41Blessing Adeoye Jr.:a collection of the ps2 mortal combat games that's gonna be huge for me and you come on deception i'm playing as sujinko uh collecting all the different powers and stuff oh my gosh the story mode on that come on so good oh my god like sitting like meditating and having the time pass real fast oh dude the first time i did that bro god that'd be huge but if i wanted something smaller say the tiniest news i needed to know about where would i go you go to our last story the wee news channel where we cover all the small news items you need to know about i'm memorizing some of it memorizing some you're getting there story number five is wee news uh from this week in video games microsoft ceo satya nadella says he wants to revisit the wisdom that pc and consoles are two different things what the fuck are we doing what truly what the fuck are we doing what are you saying i we just want he just wants to revisit the wisdom the wisdom the wisdom that pc and consoles are two different things uh nadella says nadella says windows is the biggest gaming business quote we are the largest publisher end quote he says he says microsoft's biggest competitors is in gaming aren't other gaming companies but short form video yeah everyone's

57:46Tim Gettys:saying that's a new hot thing they're right like it's like a time economy yeah it's like everybody's just fucking like scrolling on tiktok so yeah people aren't playing video games as much but it's like i don't know it's honestly kind of lame like just do better make cooler shit i don't know

58:00Blessing Adeoye Jr.:and that's the thing is like when you look at the breakdown of how people spend their time like yes they're right but also i think there's a bigger problem yeah and what that problem is is our attention spans they're getting fucked yeah i do not want to sit down and play a 50 hour game and part of that is tiktok okay it's both it's both it's both it's like yeah it's that but then it's

58:16Tim Gettys:also the fact that like these consoles are fucking hella expensive and then oh video games are like easier to uh play on different consoles in different ways you know what i mean like i don't know yeah it's a whole complicated mumbo jumbo i think that's just an easy way of like get out of jail free card like everyone's scrolling on tiktok you know what i mean like no one wants to play fucking fable or whatever the fuck if you put fable in front of me and a

58:35Blessing Adeoye Jr.:phone with tiktok on it though i might i might pick up that phone with tiktok i know my brain's fucked i know you know it's over for me resident evil requiem is getting a nintendo switch 2 pro controller on february 27th and amiibos in summer 2026 come on the resident evil requiem amiibo that's going to go hard. They're going to amiibos? First of all, custom Switch controllers. I feel like we don't get this this often. And so, that's interesting. It looks bad. Yeah. I mean, I think that's the reason why we don't get it because I think Nintendo's like, you can't do anything fun with this. That's actually, you know what?

59:05You make a really good point. Did they not show the amiibo in the thing? No. I guess they didn't. Do you need to meet Leon? No. You don't think Leon's in this game? I mean, I think he's in the game. You don't think he's like the secret second character? I think he is. I don't know. When there's enough smoke, there's fire. But what's the smoke? I mean, just everyone's saying, like, fucking Leon's in this game. Is it everybody or is it just Tim? Well, it's like Dusk Gollum and stuff. Oh, okay. Yeah, it's like people have been like, yeah, like, he's probably in this game. Okay, I believe in Dusk Gollum.

59:33Blessing Adeoye Jr.:I don't believe in Tim. I believe in Dusk Gollum. NetEase Games and Pocket Pair are excited to announce that the Power World collaboration event is now live and once human, bringing the adorable pals, new features, and a fresh map into a mysterious and supernatural world.

59:47Tim Gettys:Nintendo's going to sue once human. That's how they're going to do it. Take down Once Human. They're going to be like, oh, it's too close to Pokemon Mystery Dungeon. What is Once Human?

59:55Blessing Adeoye Jr.:I don't know. I'm pretty sure the joke I just made didn't make sense either. That's it for We News. Let's hop into Super Tap. I was thinking about Two Human the entire time. Let's look up what Once Human is. Barrett in the background says it's a sequel.

1:00:11Tim Gettys:Two Two Human.

1:00:12Blessing Adeoye Jr.:Once Human is a free-to-play, post-apocalyptic, third-person, open-world, multiplayer, Jesus Christ. Enough of the keywords.

1:00:20Tim Gettys:survival game over here i'm just killing time remember x-men destiny i do remember x-men destiny did you play x-men destiny no but i watched x-play a lot and they talked about it we were probably x-men dimensions that was the fighting game no what x-men did i play i played x-men legends oh my aunt randy got me x-men legends i said i didn't want this one really oh i wanted x-men dimensions do you know what it was for me

1:00:43Blessing Adeoye Jr.:which was a bad game by the way you just unlocked a memory i so spider-man 2 on ps2 I played a shit time. That was one of my favorite games on PlayStation 2 as a kid. I used to play so much Spider-Man 2. In Spider-Man 2 in the pause menu you can find a trailer for X-Men Legends. And I used to watch that trailer all the time because it was like a CG cinematic pre-rendered thing Wait what was it in? What game? In Spider-Man 2 PS2. Do you remember this? You just unlocked the memory. Yes! So I remember watching that over and over again and being like wow this looks like the greatest thing of all time And then I saw it and it's like I don't want that shit.

1:01:15Blessing Adeoye Jr.:And then I bought the game like it was in the GameStop$10 bucket thing. Bought the game, started playing it, and I was like, this isn't what I saw. It was kind of like Ultimate Alliance, right?

1:01:22Tim Gettys:Yeah. And I was like, I don't like that shit. I always got mad at Ultimate Alliance. I thought it was like false advertisement. I think that was like me becoming woke. Because I saw it, I was like, no, you show the characters on the front on in the box art. You show me characters on the top down in the game. That's no good. But legitimately, I don't like that.

1:01:39Blessing Adeoye Jr.:If we can find a trailer for X-Men Legends, the CG trailer. Okay, but Ultimate Alliance also fucked, okay? don't be shitting on ultimate alliance well to be fair x-men and the legends i believe was before ultimate alliance wasn't it that was the first yeah like x-men legends kind of originated it and honestly i didn't hate at first i hated x-men legends but as a kid i was like well i have this and so i'm gonna play more of it and as i played it i was like you know what it's kind of good kind of good i think i just grew on me people say i want to fight roger i was a kid i just don't i want to see the fucking characters like no you're 100 right because you showed me the coolest cinematic trailer of all time and then you showed me this is ultimate alliance this is ultimate i'll see if i can find the x-men legends trailer oh dude what a sick trailer though this what a sick trailer but like we gotta watch we gotta lie we have time right no we don't have time

1:02:24Tim Gettys:yeah tyler said bro i had the same reaction roger yeah i'm a kid because i want to fight roger i'm not saying the game was good but it's bad i'm just saying i didn't i was fucking i saw this trailer you see this fucking trailer everybody and you're like oh okay this is gonna i'm gonna be playing as the character in the front row no it's fucking top down what are we talking about

To overcome it we must fight as a team

1:03:30Blessing Adeoye Jr.:Oh dude Yes

1:03:37Blessing Adeoye Jr.:You can see all the sentinels coming to the mansion. Fuck yeah.

1:03:46Blessing Adeoye Jr.:Dude, as a kid, this felt like watching the Endgame trailer. Or like the Infinity War trailer, you know? This, oh my god. This, and remember that, um,

1:03:57Tim Gettys:oh, there was another one which was like that CGI trailer. I don't know if it was for a game, but it was like spider-man and it was like all the characters fighting i know i'm being non-descriptive at all but like it's i people know what i'm talking about here it was like super ah fuck well i'll find it later well let's continue let's continue well now i'm having a crisis because i'm like am i thinking of x-men legends 2 we can't go down this rabbit hole chat maybe it was the ultimate alliance 2 trailer maybe it was that one yeah it might have been that maybe ultimate alliance 2 uh my whole computer is fucking crashing right now.

1:04:29Oh, no.

1:04:30Blessing Adeoye Jr.:All right, let's get into Super Chats and get out of here. Nathan Maloney says, Hey, KF, top 100 still this year? I need Mike's list. Nobody tells me anything at this company, so I couldn't tell you. We'll see. I submitted my list. I did, too. We'll see. We sell, too. Let's see.

We'll talk about the Call of Duty stuff tomorrow, everybody. it's not X-Men Legends 2 nevermind this doesn't look right what was the Call of Duty stuff?

Globe, globe, globe, globe, globe, globe. Not exactly a you're wrong. Then I'm not going to read it. Good. Because we're always right. Blessing, will you add Tales of Xelia remastered? No. No. Oh, that's something I'm going to add it to my fantasy critic. No, it's a remaster. I know you did the studying. Yeah, I did the studying. Roger's already looked into everything. I checked.

1:05:49Blessing Adeoye Jr.:If it's a remaster, Roger's already tried to bid for it. Oh, I've already been there.

1:05:54Blessing Adeoye Jr.:uh radbrad says canary in the coal mine indicates a warning of imminent danger not trying to um actually you bless but you say it a lot so i wanted to make sure you understood the meaning when you frame it as a positive slash optimistic thing well you said you're not trying to um actually you just but you actually did um but um but you know what i appreciate it yeah i appreciate

1:06:15Tim Gettys:it keep me honest i was gonna correct you but i didn't know what it really meant so i didn't correct you.

1:06:19Blessing Adeoye Jr.:Well, I always just say it. I say canary in the cold. It's the thing where I also think language evolves or whatever, but if I'm using it wrong, I'm using it wrong. I always say it as like a, oh, this was a sign of things to come, which is what it means, but I guess in a negative context. Rad Braddon, you're wrong. That's a canary in the cold. You know what I mean? Let's see here. PoolEGT says there's actually been a Lord of the Rings MMO already. Oh, we already talked about that. Yeah, yeah. I think we already talked about everything here. Yeah, we already nailed everything in your wrong, so thank you guys.

1:06:49Yeah, I think that's it. The Quartercade. The Quartercade. What about the Quartercade? Oh, my whole computer. Did we ever get to the bottom of Quartercade? No, I have the video here.

1:06:57Tim Gettys:I think it's like a mini PC that there's a Kickstarter happening. Quartercade is an indie-made, budget-friendly PC-slash-console hybrid that we're designing for gamers who want more value for their money. Play thousands of modern and classic titles, enjoying the flexibility of PC gaming without the headaches, and customize your experience, all for just$350. Actually, kind of cool. I wanted to see what the specs are on this. I'm going to do some more research on this, but I need a PC in my living room, so this is actually kind of what I'm looking for. Pretty neat. Hell yeah.

1:07:26Blessing Adeoye Jr.:So what did he mean by cow? What? The super chat that wrote in about quarter-cade, he said something about the cow. I have no idea. Whoever wrote in with that super chat, I need you to write in and explain yourself. What if this is the wrong thing? What if there's another thing called quarter-cade? I have no idea. I need you to write in and explain what the fuck you meant, because now it's going to be bothering me. Now it's a cow. Yeah, it's a cow. I mean, look, you can play Elden Ring on it. That's pretty cool.
