35:31Gotta get this out so they can make the big news. You know what I mean? The big news out there. It looks good. It does look really good. I will play two player here with Ben. I like that quite a bit. Are you going to go back? I don't have this one. I have Tropical Freeze. I'm with Barrett. I want the Tropical Freeze update because it's the one that I have. I played this on guess which system. I've only played that game once on one system. Wii U. No. 3DS. Oh! Yeah, I played the 3DS version because I think I got a... I think I was gifted it for a birthday. I got a physical copy of it. And so I played it on 3DS and that is when I last played it and it is hard as balls.

36:14Yeah. And I stopped playing it. You said something interesting before we came out here, of course, that you've kind of fallen in love with your Switch 2? Yes. Yeah. That's what basically... So I have been laying low, taking it easy, which means I'm finally playing games on my own leisure time once again. Not for a deadline, not for an article. Not for a deadline, not for a work, you know? And it's been really nice. And I find that the gaming platform, because I have a PS5, I have a Switch 2, and I have a really good gaming PC. The platform that I'm playing games the most on in the last like two, three months has been my Switch 2.

36:50Hell yeah. Just really fall in love with the system. It's like, it's one, it's the indie machine, right? All the upcoming indie games, they're released on the eShop so I just pick them up there yeah and so it's great to have just around but then yeah I'm just I've been playing um I've literally just been switching between all of the all the switch games I play uh I play Pokemon Legends ENA right um making my way through there what rank you know right now I am I just beat the karate guy so I'm like D or E or something like that I think and then I have been playing the new Animal Crossing update which is stellar and then after all of those things, after I do the daily Animal Crossing stuff and a little ZA, I do a round of the Mario Kart online tournament mode and just kind of call it.

37:34And it's just been really nice. Yeah, the Switch 2 is just the better version of the Switch, which is, I think, the thing that most people say about it. And it's true. And the Switch was already pretty great. And now the Switch 2 is just even better than that. And yeah, I've fallen in love with it. And I think it was like a treat to myself. Like after I got laid off, I picked up a Switch 2, right? and then i'm glad that i did because i don't know if you've been seeing like the ram prices and stuff like oh yeah yeah you know it almost makes the roper report the last couple days the analysts are saying the switch will be more expensive but we don't put it in because last week we talked about the president being like we're not ruling that out or the president of nintendo right yeah so i feel like i really yeah i don't anyways either way it's like i said i've i've not been playing my ps5 i've not even really been playing on my pc i've just been playing on the switch too and it is um it's the perfect it's the right console for the right time yeah yeah i love my switch too you know when we did our uh what was it the six month review right before i think i gave it a nine that i'm having an amazing time with it and i think you know through the fall slash review season there in the winter it was very much me glued to the rock ally because so many games came as pc codes and i was doing that thing and yada yada but then once we got to december it was the switch flip of okay i gotta get metroid out of the way now i gotta get back to donkey Kong now I'm getting ready for Animal Crossing now I'm doing this and even right now my wife can't stand the ROG ally because it clickety clacks so loud so I've you know reawakened this Witcher desire to play and of course because see Project Red's awesome you got cross progression so I'm doing I'll play on my giant amazing TV with my PlayStation and then when it's time to go play in bed or play on the exercise bike I throw the Switch save up and I play it on Switch 2 can i i'm gonna nerd out here a little bit on in this weird little thing but i like i get it about like the clickiness of the raw ally and like my girlfriend has a has a steam deck right yeah there's something really pleasant about the softness of the switch 2's plastic oh yeah and its buttons and joysticks velvety velvety yeah compared to sort of like the the harsh plastics of the other other handheld consoles which is like a weird thing to notice but you do notice it as you know we talk about all this all the time in the premium feel and even when we got the switch 2 originally that was some of our not criticism our critique versus switch one of like oh this feels don't take it no perverted way you perverts like an adult switch like this feels this is sexy this feels good I like the form factor I like how the textures of it yeah I mean you know and the magnets I always forget about it I never pop my joy cons off I do it because I want to always try to do the little mouse controls at least once for every like I did it with the animal crossing thing and I'm like well I'm never doing this again but I'm glad Yeah, I know.

40:11We did the stream for it. And we were like, me and Joe, should we even try it? We're like, no, fuck it. We didn't even do it because we didn't need to. But Animal Crossing is dope. And I'm glad you're back. Are you, how's your hotel? Well, okay. So I sold my Switch. Oh, I didn't see this BS. That's a boost. And then I bought a Switch 2 without having both of them at the same time, which means I'm starting all over. I just got a house. I just started playing, just got the stock market open. I am back on square one, baby. Yeah, no, I saw that and it broke my heart. And that was one of the things I talked about where it's like, I saw multiple people in the same boat as you and I was like for me that is always like I have that conversation in my head of being held up at gunpoint and having the switch you switch one or two my bag be like listen you can take anything and I'll walk you into the Nintendo store and buy you a switch you have to understand my animal crossing my Pokemon save do not I can't get those unless you give me right now we can't do this don't hold me up all right we'll fight back I will take off my shoes number three on the Roper Report life is strange reunion won't bring back the original chloe voice actor this is eddie over at game spot the newly announced life is strange reunion will not feature ashley birch as the voice of chloe birch voice chloe one of the franchise's main characters in the first game in 2015 she did not come back for most of she did not come back for most of life is strange before the storm due to a video game voice actor strike rihanna devries voice chloe in that game and will voice her again in reunion birch did however return to voice chloe for before the storm's bonus episode farewell hannah tell who voices life is strange other main character max will return for reunion she also played max in the farewell episode of before the storm along with life is strange double exposure of course then we go into what this is all about but we talked about this yesterday and again we called it yesterday we all sat here and listened we got the ears we knew it wasn't ashley and then it was people saying it was going to be uh rihanna but we weren't 100 sure i wanted to set the record straight right do you care all about life is strange uh yeah i played i really enjoyed the first one and then the classic yeah i cared about that first game a decade ago yeah right well oh my god it was a decade ago it's one of those games that they release pretty regularly yeah no i played uh i played the first one and i really enjoyed it and then i think it's one of those things where i just happen to own like most of the series on yeah theme and i just haven't really gone through all of them but i i do i don't i have nothing against it it's a very it's a pleasant series good music good acting yeah you can tell the team really likes likes working on the games and uh i should play them i hear good things about the second one in particular oh life is strange too good yeah i love i i have played them all i love them all for various levels or whatever double exposure fumbled its ending and then we were very much don't force chloe back into this and then we watched this trailer yesterday and i was like i'm gonna fucking play this but it's like i i'll probably end up loving it but it's probably because they'll undo what i said about double exposure if you want double exposure talk we talked about it yesterday i'm not doing it now all right number four speaking of recasts greg way kratos voice actor reacts to casting of someone else for the tv show this again is eddie at game spot prime video recently announced that sons of anarchy actor ryan hearse will play kratos in the upcoming live action tv series christopher judge who portrayed kratos in why am i i can't say kratos today what's wrong with me in 2018's god God of War and 2022's God of War Ragnarok has now reacted to the casting, saying Hearst is a quote-unquote magnificent choice.

43:29Quote, all I wanted for whoever was cast as Kratos was that they love, cherish, and respect Kratos as much as we all do, Judge said at a fan expo in New Orleans. And with Ryan Hearst, they have done that. It's a magnificent choice. Not only a great actor, but a great person and a gamer who actually played God of War since its inception. So kudos, you've got a great live-action Kratos, end quote. quote, Judge was not the first actor to play Kratos as T.C. Carson portrayed Kratos in the earlier games. You might remember his performance. Calliope! Zeus, your son has returned! Hurst has a close familiarity with the God of War series as he portrayed Thor in Ragnarok.

44:03And as mentioned by Judge, Hurst has played the games writing in his own post, quote, used to play as him, now I get to be him, end quote. God of War TV stores, blah, blah, blah. And we go on to talk more and more about it. What are your hopes for God of War TV? be um that it is as good as the games no no no just a small bar yeah yeah whatever it's i'm i'm excited i i think and like it's it's weird right you can't really compare them because the only thing they really share is a streaming home but like fallout is so good on prime so you and they're making this at prime so you're just like well you hope that that dna carries over you hope that they understand the first two episodes i cut it off uh but are directed by apparently the guy who did the boys so it's like or one of the directors of the boys so it's like i feel like we're at that time where people understand that if you do a video game adaptation right you're going to have something fucking cool yeah and even playstation having playstation studios and all the hollywood stuff like granted hit or miss on some of the things but it's like they understand what they're doing with their ip this seems like a great choice i just worry always a budget right you know what i mean like i think you look at fallout which we loved right season one but like there weren't death clause in season one which i think was a great idea because i don't think they had the money to make it look right and now that it's a mega success here's a bunch of death clause they put in season two right spoilers that there's death clause in season one you hope it pays off you hope it works out i'm i'm cautiously optimistic um yeah i think i think i never go into any of these adaptations with like cynicism like i think i was you know i was very i think i was excited for the um assassin's creed you know taking it back to ubisoft i was except for the Assassin's Creed movie with Michael Fassbender, you know, but that was also not good.

45:43But I don't know. I come in with an open mind and an open heart, and I never really think, I never go into anything being like, oh, it's going to be bad. They're going to mess this up or anything like that. You know, like even if they announce that the showrunners are like, oh, you know, we've never actually played the games, right? Or anything like that. I don't take that necessarily as a bad thing. You know, I think anybody who is creatively minded can like take their own interpretation to things. So I think, but yeah, but it sounds like everybody who's working on the God of War show in particular is very much a fan of the game has been in them, played them, you know, so that's, I can only be good thing.

46:18Let's go. Speaking of going another great way. Number five, Crimson Desert. Crimson Desert goes gold. This is from a Twitter post they had. We're thrilled to announce that hashtag Crimson Desert has gone gold on behalf of the team at Pearl Abyss. Thank you to our fans around the world for your support and for reaching this milestone with us. Stay tuned for more news and we'll see you in Piwell. Probably not pronounced that well. On March 19th. Holy shit, Matt. It's actually happening. Yeah. Holy shit. This is one of those games I definitely was like, I said I could see it being delayed. Because it's big.

46:52It's ambitious. It is big. It is ambitious. I never really was worried for this game because we were talking before the show that I have played this on occasions. and demo and like every time i play a demo i'm like this is a really like fully finished demo yeah and so like i know that they're making but it's true it does feel like this is kind of an oddity because it was announced in a really beautiful like pre-rendered trailer and it was that game that kept doing everything you're gliding you're fighting you're doing this right how can it be everything yeah and you're all and you're always suspicious of pre-rendered trailers you're like well this can't this is just a proof of concept this is just what they want to do in the final game and then just quietly without anyone really noticing they're just like oh yeah we have an update you know we're making progress on this game and then and then you know people like us in the media get invited to play it out and then we're like oh this is like actually like a real game and coming along and then now they're just like and now we're done and that's just i don't know it just fuck yeah yeah just really happen a lot in in games anymore you know yeah so how much like time wise have you played because i played at sgf which of course is the worst place to play this kind of game hey you got 30 to an hour i forget what it was yeah i'm running around i got paris trying to talk to me get the fuck away from me and i sit down to do it and it's like here's this one section and there's like a million buttons and it was very complicated and then like i've said before when they gave me the one-on-one boss fight where i'm picking up pillars and slamming you and that's where i started to really get my legs and then it was over and i was like damn the ending made me more confident than the beginning ever did yeah it was i played like i think i played like an hour and a half okay like oh wow yeah i played like three sections i played like an opening intro to get your like feel and that's just you beating up a bunch of like regular regular bad guys yeah and then a couple boss fights and the boss fights were the were definitely the showstoppers where i'm like oh they're going for like kind of like a monster hunter kind of thing with these big bosses yeah and i want to do this because i it always drives me nuts a lot of people are like is it a souls game is it a souls game i don't think it's a souls game okay good yeah i think there's like a stamina thing but i think it's like closer to like a witcher i was gonna say it feels way more action rpg and not like a rpg but action rpg with action you know what i mean where it's like yeah that's what i'm getting which i is that's the fucking game i love yeah so it's like even looking at it and seeing like they got an orc and they got this and they got the class and the different like i'm very excited to get my hands on and get deep into it i like i think you're right i'm very curious what is in the final game yeah because again when that original trailer they showed a lot a lot of things gliding you know different monsters as we just saw dragons.

49:20So we'll see what's in the final game. But yeah, it looks good. And everything that I've seen so far of it and played fills me with confidence. You know? Yeah. Well, let's go on to story number six. Marathon might be part of a dying breed of game. According to a former art director, this is Lan Pitts over at GameSpot. Bungie's upcoming anticipated extraction shooter Marathon is scheduled to arrive in early March and is, as of this writing, one of the highest selling games ever on Steam. Even with the alleged stolen art controversy, it's looking like marathon could be a winner that bungee needs uh it to be after concord failed to take off according to former art director joseph cross that level of commitment to an unproven ip might be a thing of the past soon and i would even argue think of the past now but yeah in an interview with reader grev uh cross feels like the state of funding for games has reached a point where studios shouldn't blindly fund games based on spec and compares concord to marathon on the same sort of production scale.

50:16Quote, Marathon is such a massive project. The studio took such a risk on this. You know, oftentimes we feel like we were sort of getting away with something. I think about that in the big picture. The idea of studios funding unproven, unknown projects for six or eight years for hundreds of millions of dollars, sort of on spec. How much longer are things like this going to exist? I've been part of a couple of them now, end quote. He added that the budget is something that he thought about a lot and how easy it is to lose sight of things when you're being bankrolled by someone else. Quote, it's not always intuitive to remember that above all else, this is the product that's being funded.

50:53And every day that goes by is a day you're going further into the red. You're not making money. The studio is not making any money. So anyway, that's a big one, especially when you're really trying to channel creativity and get to the point where you feel like you can't impose anything that feels like a risk. I mean, what a mind fuck that is right this is a really good interview that's where you sort of put on the armor of art and have faith in your perspective and experience as an artist all great art commercial art anyways is it's doubted and that's a level of skepticism and there's a level of skepticism until there's not end quote marathon is set to release March 5th for PC PC PS5 Xbox will be priced at$40 the same price point as Ark Raiders what do you think Matt well I was really really excited for this game when they first showed it off and then and then they went through their own controversy stuff and that was that was rough but i'm glad i'm glad they it sounds like they sorted it out with the original artist that yeah i deal with and then uh now that it's coming i'm looking forward to it i like i really like bungie you know like i was a huge halo guy growing up like the 360 was was my jam um halo reach one of the one of the best games of all time in my opinion i love odst and i really like destiny one and i tried really hard to get into Destiny 2 but Destiny 2 was a real time commitment and I did not have that time but I'm really excited I hope for the best for Bungie and definitely I want you know and that was a really good interview yeah yeah some really candid quotes it's funny when you leave a place how candid you can be yeah like it's I mean they're right right like there's like with these kinds of games you want to make the best game possible but the business expectation is that you also make it in a way where people spend money on it and recoup the astounding budget yeah that it sounds like it took and so um yeah all power to them and um yeah you know the intro here from land talking about that level of commitment to an unproven ip might be a thing of the past again i think it already is this is what we talk about where if it's not a sequel or if it's not a known ip you're not seeing that kind of money put into it and then in the same breath why people are always so over early access it's that idea of early access gets money coming in quicker rather than waiting another four or five years to get out the final product to go and that's good bad and otherwise but for games of this scale for what they're trying to do it is a different ball game than i mean especially for talking about bungie and their games and how long they've gestated and what it was and this does kind of feel like a trick right because they're they can go into like a meeting for money and they can be like this is a proven ip that hasn't existed in like 30 years yeah yeah yeah like this is a real trusted ip that people for sure remember everyone remembers marathon so i can and when but the part where he's like it feels like we were getting away with something it kind of they kind of did you know they're like this is a this is an ip like all other ips so what is your prediction is marathon going to find an audience that's been the big discussion yeah um i mean i didn't know about it being one of the most sold games on steam already for going on pre-order so that's a good indication for them already but you know these things they drop off so fast so it's really hard to exactly how are you going to stick that audience right um i i you know uh i think well arc readers is doing really well and i think that the genre does seem popular so i guess if bungie can put their own spin on it with their level of quality then yeah i think it can be in that space sure from one day ago darren over on game spot had this article about the sales that i had missed as well following the reveal of its release date marathon has seen a huge surge in interest as pc players have begun locking in pre-orders for bungie's sci-fi extraction shooter at the time of this writing marathon is the fifth best-selling game on steam in the u.s and tenth globally on the steam charts free-to-play games like marvel rivals and counter-strike two are ahead of it only natural given the low price for not of nothing for those titles and arc raiders is still in the top spot for now so it's cool to see people coming in and saying they believe in it and what they've seen but we will wait and see now it's talking about not believing in a new ip number seven apparent project blackbird footage shows the xenomax online mmo that could have been this is cameron kotch over at game spot uh what is allegedly footage of xenomax online studios canceled sci-fi mmo project blackbird is now out in the wild giving a glimpse at what might have been had microsoft not scrapped the project the footage shared by x toss one stv he's using leet speak and i can't keep up on x and corroborated by insider gaming is internal studio test footage meant to show off the game's lighting using unreal engine 4 the two minute clip shows a cyberpunk city giving off straight strong blade runner energy one filled with neon lights and various npcs among among them are what looks to be alien species further highlighting the game's sci-fi setting according to insider gaming's tom henderson the footage is from quote unquote years ago and nowhere near representation of what the game that was canceled however it does give at least curious fans a better idea of what xenimax online was going for with the project.

55:42Project Blackbird was slated to be ZeniMax Online's second MMO. The studio was founded in 2007 and is responsible for the Elder Scrolls Online, which is still going strong over a decade after its original 2014 release. Mass layoffs at Microsoft and Project Blackbird's cancellation in July 2025 led to more than 300 developers at ZeniMax Online losing their jobs and studio president Matt fire or quitting uh in recent linkedin post fire or explained the resignation uh he well this is a typo but he said blackbird was quote the game i had waited my entire career to create and having it canceled led to my resignation end quote some of those layoffs from xenomax online who worked on several projects uh now created a new studio uh the pointedly named an employee owned sackbird studios that's awesome i missed they called it sackbird uh quote when i learned blackbird was being canceled and a lot of people were losing their jobs.

56:38It lit a fire. Sackbird CEO Lee Rodeau said in a statement on its official website, we realized the best way to protect our craft and our team was to create a studio where independence isn't negotiable. Despite the layoffs, ZeniMax Online is continuing to forge ahead with The Elder Scrolls Online, which in 2026 is transitioning to a seasons-based content model and will be making some of its older DLC content free. It will also finally be getting crossplay between platforms in the future. as talked about on the Elder Scrolls online show that we did here with them and more importantly, Matt, who we of course wish well.

57:13This hurt to begin with. Number one, people losing their jobs. We hate that. Number two, having an actual personal connection to Matt and the team over there and seeing what they were working on. And then now it hurts so much more seeing this. Because if you can put the footage back up, that is an MMO I would love to go play. Elder Scrolls, not a world I want to exist in. I've played enough Fallout 76 like lots of Fallout 76 that I'm like I'm good I want my Fallout RPG questy thing a cool sci-fi MMO Matt or come on that would be fucking dope as shit and I don't care if this isn't what it actually looks like years later like this is such a great tone setter I'm like oh I'd love to do this I mean Matt's quote is heartbreaking you know the fact that he quit because this game was cancelled he's like this is what I was building my career up to this is everything that I was working towards and when they cancelled it I had no other choice but to leave the studio that I was working at.

58:05That's a level of dedication to a project that you don't hear publicly. A lot on these kind of things. Like cancellations happen, but to tie your resignation directly to this project that you were working on and you really believed in is really heartbreaking. A heartbreaker. I'm excited to see what Project Sackbird does. Dope name. Really good name. Dope name. Matt, Project Sackbird's first game is going to be big news. but if I wanted something smaller say the tiniest news I needed to know about where would I go uh you'd go to our last story the we news channel where we cover all the small news items you need to know about it's the we news everybody story number eight uh fortnight looks to be getting some content from the office I'm pulling from the IGN thing that summarizes a tweet fans of the TV and video games fans of TV and video games were thrown for a loop earlier today and that was yesterday when Epic shared a not-so-cryptic tease on social media.

59:01It's the kind of thing that would be completely nonsensical to the uninitiated, but those who are dialed into the NBC comedy will recognize Build Beats Battle Royale as a reference to one of the most memorable quotes from The Office. One of the most memorable quotes from The Office were stretching IGM. Bears beats Battlestar Galactica 100%, Greg. Really? You think so? Yes. Hey, well, first off, I'm not fighting you, Barrett! I'll fight you, Greg! I'll fight you! Go fucking get mad about the 15th donkey call game that came out you don't want to. Don't get on my case about it. I'll get on your case when you rub it in my face.

59:36Are you going to pick up these skins or are you going to get a Michael Scott team? I have not touched Fortnite in years. Would this be the thing to bring you back? No. What if it was an entire season? No. Like Simpsons didn't bring me back. Yeah, but you're a bigger office fan than you're a Simpsons fan. I don't know if I ever said that. I did. For you. I'm writing your autobiography. History is written by the winners and I'm the winner. So are you though, Tim Jr. Uh, GameSpot reports Far Cry 3 and spinoffs Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon and Far Cry Primal receive 60 frame per second patches for PlayStation 5 and Xbox series today.

1:00:09So if you were looking to celebrate some Ubisoft titles today, this is what you're getting. A cult horror deck builder, The Killing Stone, launches February 18th on Steam and the full launch of Entrouded. That's right. 1.0 is coming autumn 2026. Cool. I've heard of Entrided. I remember press releases and then I never heard of it and then today it was everywhere. Oh, they put out a roadmap. It's coming in autumn 1.0. It's coming to consoles too. I'm drawing a blank. I'm sure it's a great game. I hope so. I'm sure people are happy. Throw up some Entrided because it's one of those you look at and again different strokes.

1:00:42I'm not yucking you're young but I look at this and I'm like this is one of those games that looks like every other game. It's like when we do Bless Who and they put up all the different things. I'm like I don't know what any of these are. But Andy loved it apparently according to Ernie Cooper. an actual sad taco says and tried it is great. Other people say it's rules. I'm not saying it's bad. I'm just saying I look at this and I'm like, I don't understand who you are. This is not what I had in mind when I was thinking. New boss is an enemy. A lot of streamers use and try to cozy, chill farming game.
