Just you, your controller, and zero responsibilities. When your brain decides that's the perfect time to ask, did I say something offensive earlier and not realize it? And suddenly, relaxing and enjoying yourself is impossible. No matter what you do to try to feel better, the doubt keeps coming back. Here's the thing. That kind of relentless thought spiral isn't just anxiety. It could actually be OCD. Unlike the stereotypes, real OCD involves intrusive, distressing thoughts that cause intense anxiety, along with behaviors you feel driven to do to get relief from those thoughts.

33:40But it doesn't have to be that way, because OCD is highly treatable with the right kind of specialized therapy. OCD needs ERP, or exposure and response prevention, which has proven to be the most effective treatment, and that's where NoCD comes in.

Immersion Fragrances says at 30 million subscribers and$15 a month average, that's$450 million a month. That's over$5 billion a year in revenue just from subs. I can't imagine Xbox is losing too much, if anything, here. That's all not talking at all about how much it costs, how much they're spending for the deals for third parties, how much they are not making from sales of the video games themselves. It's like that number, that revenue, that is not profit. And that is the equation that's not adding up, where that is a huge number, yes, but compare that to all the other numbers that go into that, and it's all right, cool.

35:01PlayStation also has PlayStation Plus. how much are they making from that right yeah and they're making the money selling the games and they're not having to do these like insane deals they're doing different types of deals but they're the number we know some of the numbers we've heard some of these numbers yeah they're freaking insane it's like saying your entire uh salary is everything you make in a year and you get to keep all that but yeah you got you got bills to pay you gotta pay rent same thing with Roger bullies you for your lunch money. Exactly. He's so good. Only me, though. Number two on the Roper Report, there's no sign of Leon or Chris in the new Resident Evil movie trailer.

35:37This is Kenneth Shepard at Kotaku. Yep. Kotaku. You know. The next shot at a live action Resident Evil movie is coming this year, courtesy of Weapons and Barbarian director, Zach Kreger. And true to his word, it doesn't seem like an adaptation of the games at all. The first trailer has zombies and other creepy crawlies galore, but you won't see Leon Kennedy or Chris Redfield here. I'll stop here and let you all know. Obviously, we would love to react to the trailer live, but when we live react to a trailer on YouTube, YouTube thinks we're stealing the trailer, and then they strike our channel and shut us down, so we can't do that way.

36:12Thanks, YouTube. Just to explain that even a little more, it's movie trailers that when we react live, so we can pre-record a live reaction and upload it. We just can't do it when we're live, and we're live. Resident Evil follows a guy named Brian, played by euphoria and weapons actor austin abrams uh who is not who is having a no good very bad night we don't know much about uh the guy beyond that he is a medical courier and that he has a partner he is worried he won't see again after the world starts to go to shit around him despite it not being a direct adaptation of any of the resident evil games we do see brian doing very resident evil things like using minimalists or minimal supplies to try and fend off a horde of zombies and looting keys off a dead body also getting a shotgun Resident Evil is coming to theaters on September 18th Tim Yep You and I watched this before the show So we could talk about it here Yeah man What do you think?

37:05I mean it's crazy Zach Crager doing a Resident Evil movie I didn't know this was happening Oh yeah? I don't follow the entertainment news So like I missed this Or maybe set it on a game's cast and forgot all about it Nah he's been on a hot streak Obviously with these horror movies Oh my god yeah Such a style Such a like Very very very like important moment in horror movies like we we get this like new wave of creators every couple years and i feel like sometimes they're not hitting the same sometimes it's like oh it's we've seen this before iterative this is one of the we are in the era now obviously we got we have peel we have uh ari aster and crager is kind of just dominating right now in this moment so to get an ip like resident evil very exciting right but that's also coupled with where we're at right now with video game adaptations where we are getting better ones than we ever have before and i think that the likelihood of one being good is higher than it is of it being bad i'm not saying it's a hundred percent hit rate i'm not even saying these are the best things ever but facts are facts look at the reviews look at the scores yeah look into your heart greg your heart um there there's a higher likelihood that it will be good so here we are our eighth resident evil movie god that's theatrically released even of course there's all the cg um ones that are a separate have we done Is Resident Evil in review yet?

38:20No But we do have the perfect amount And are you interested? Roger Yeah Okay Greg Let's have a real talk right now Eight Resident Evil movies Okay Horror? I never get to do horror It's horror? Yeah I know I know But it's horror enough It's horror enough I don't know I think I have seen The first three Whoa Yeah yeah yeah Let me IMDB that Alright Roger if you're listening You heard it right here Resident Evil movies Uh huh Because there's seven of them that are... Oh, I definitely saw Extinction. There's six of them. I definitely saw Extinction. So that's the first three. Resident Evil, obviously, that was like...

38:57Oh, yeah. Oh, my God. And then they own the DVD and the lasers. Apocalypse, I mean, I would have seen. I would have missed it because I would have been less excited. But Resident Evil, Extinction, I distinctly remember going. Yeah. So there's six Alice movies. And then there was Welcome to Raccoon City. Never saw that. A bit more trying to directly adapt the games, but then also made some choices that didn't do that at all. And it's like, what are we doing? Yeah. Why do we go 90 % of the way here? but anyways all this to say this is very exciting and so watching this trailer it lives up to pretty much everything I thought it would be this looks like an awesome Zach Crager movie sure it does not look like a good Resident Evil movie do you care about that not really like I feel like especially after Welcome to Raccoon City which I enjoyed a lot but it's alright cool these games aren't great in terms of story and characters they're iconic because they're video games and we like them but like translating the gameplay into a movie and stuff.

39:48It's like, y 'all, the movies, the games are fun because they're, they're B movies as games. Yeah. So translating that back to a movie, it's like, nah, man, let Zach Kroger do his goddamn thing. And I'm, I'm here for it. There was a couple of things in this that I really loved. And there's a couple of things in it that I'm like, I don't personally like it. Like there was a lot of shots. Like there's one of all the hands coming out of the door and the big guy in the sewers and stuff, which that I can stretch a little bit more to be like, okay, Resident Evil, does have a lot of weird shit like that but this seems a little bit more like the start of the outbreak or like around the time like him this he's just dealing with this for the first time yeah they're saying this is in the universe of the games so oh them saying that to me is like i'm just gonna pretend that didn't exist because i that'll ruin it for me because like there's just too much stuff i'm like the hands in the doors i'm like that doesn't that's not the my resident evil right that's not my resident evil shot at the end of the trailer though a bunch of zombie bodies like falling out of buildings that's fucking sick shots of him walking with the guns like having the shotgun hanging off yeah that's the type of adaptation that I like where it's like oh it's it's not a literal like they're not memeing it making the joke of like how is he holding four guns and you don't see it on him and they make a joke about it right yeah it's literally like dude it would be hard to walk around with a shotgun you know while you also are having to pick up keys and stuff like very interested in this I think this looks really really really bad yeah it's uh obviously someone who loves horror movies loves barbarian loves weapons like i'm i'm in no matter what for me literally not knowing this existed till today when somebody's like oh the resident evil trailer's out i was like oh okay like i i i'm interested in why making a resident evil move not like a why like that sounds so pretentious like i'm an asshole like i'm trying to protect it but it's just interesting i'm just like oh okay like i don't know i guess it's on the one hand interesting i have you watched the documentary and i use it loosely because it's kind of just a fan film about uh the story behind uh george a romero and him trying to make the resident evil movie and he made the like remember the live action commercial he did and he was going to make it have you watched the documentary yeah okay like going through that and being like man what would romero's resident evil movie look like if he wasn't getting noted to death and do all these different like it's exciting to think of somebody i love so much you know taking a property that i also appreciate and doing something cool with it so that's where we're at with this where it's like cool to create but it's just an interesting one of like huh i i watch it and i'm like i'm there no matter what because it's saying all the right things but i wonder for the hardcore resident evil fans what are they gonna think are they gonna be up in arms about it it starts off with them in a house what's a house greg a building a residence all right okay A lot of evil in this trailer.

42:31There is. They're nailing it. Jameson Super Chastain says, the Resident Evil trailer looks like 28 days later. Yeah, I mean, the energy, I can see that. Demon Hacker says, I am an Ari Sicko. Looks like a good game, but a bad adaptation. IMO, anyone going in expecting the same lore respect as Fallout will be disappointed. Yeah, absolutely. Does Resident Evil respect its own lore, though? They try to. They try to, but their lore is like, it's silly. You know what I mean? I don't know that you want to watch those movies. Fair. oh here's the thing no i mean the games the games the games does resident evil games yeah that's what i'm saying but i if you were to adapt those directly it's like like who's that for and that's why i think again non-fully but for the most part that's what uh welcome to raccoon city tried to do the problem with there's a lot of problems with that movie but a problem with welcome to raccoon city is they were essentially adapting re 1 2 and 3 in an hour and a half it's just like y 'all are doing way too much at one time um but it's like yeah their outfits look like they're outfits.

43:30They made references to specific puzzles and stuff like that. And I'm sitting there in the theater like, yeah, yeah. But like, yeah, yeah, yeah. Who's that doing that for? Yeah, of course. Sky in the super chat says, Resident Evil super fan here. This movie looks great. All the subtle nods to the game are hitting. Let this man cook. Hashtag in Craigor we trust. I trust him implicitly. And then right on target and right on topic. Kebab says, happy 10th anniversary to the Ratchet and Clank movie. Hell yeah. Jeff the Maverick says Zach Kregor broke down the entire trailer on IGN's YouTube channel.

44:03It's 12 minutes I recommend watching. We will. I'd watch it right now but then IGN claims and I get in trouble. Then I got Max Scoville over here with a seasoned assist and I don't have time for that right now. Okay. September's not that far. Believe it or not. That's crazy. Number three on the Roper Report. PlayStation users report new online license checks but Sony quells concerns. This is Gabe Gerwin over at GameSpot. Gabe Gerwin at GameSpot A lot of G's there, I appreciate that A new quirk has begun affecting PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 owners With digital game purchases And I know we've reported on this before We're going to the more fleshed out information It appears the system's latest updates Have introduced a 30 day online License check for digital games Leaving those who have extended internet outages Without access to certain games However, Sony has clarified Exactly how it works And it seems like most players have nothing to worry about Several users, including the game accessibility Twitter account Does It Play, have reported that all new PlayStation Store purchases, those made before March 2026, appear to be unaffected.

45:09Feature a 30-day timer that shows when you will need to connect to the internet again before losing access. This timer doesn't appear to be visible on the PlayStation 5, but according to Does It Play, it is still being tracked in the background. While unlikely to be a tangible issue for most players, there are definitely use cases that could see a PlayStation 4 or PlayStation 5 disconnected from the internet for extended periods of time. According to a statement, Does It Play gave Kotaku, the license checks may have been introduced to combat refund scams, but were designed to convert into unlimited licenses afterwards.

45:47words that appears to be the case with si an si e spokesperson telling game spot the following quote players can continue to access and play their purchase games as usual a one-time online check is required to confirm the game's license after which no further check-ins are required end quote i hate this stuff so all is well that ends well for now yeah yeah i mean yeah i does all the digital stuff all the the checks licensing freaking do you own it make sure you activate your PlayStation 5 is your main PlayStation 5. Then you can play offline. God, the freaking primary shit. Yeah, the primary shit.

46:20I hate it, man. Yeah. It's better than it used to be. It is. In the old days, remember, you had to go on the fucking website and deactivate it. If you had too many, then you could deactivate them all. But if you did that twice in a year, it's like you can't do it ever again. Man. Yeah. So much of that stuff sucks. Sucks on Nintendo. Sucks on PlayStation. I don't really know about it on Xbox too much. I'm being real. Yeah. Magic sucks, though. It probably. Play anywhere, though. You know what I mean? It's everywhere. saves getting kicked around left and right i don't know if you remember this greg but uh i my ps3 broke one time and this was like back in my early days at ign so i went up to you didn't know you well yeah i was like hey can you fix this you're the playstation guy and you're like yeah i'll send it in and they sent it in and then they sent me a new ps3 back none of my saves or anything were backed up and i was like well that's not what i wanted yeah yeah well that's the 13 i had to restart it yeah it's one of those you should have backed up your saves you I know.

47:12Yeah. Different time. Different place. See, I think a lot of times when we talk about thinking of, I mean, I know PlayStation because it's my, you know, these stories and what I did. But I'll say in general, video game, customer service, you expect they would treat it with the care and respect you have. That's never the case. Never the case. I don't think anybody, they just go right into the PS3 shredder. They're just like, I don't want to be done with it. It's like when Colin broke my PlayStation with a Sopranos disc in it. That Sopranos disc never came back. No. You know what I mean? that was the end of that sopranos number four on the roper report subnautica 2 early access starts in may in wake of its publisher and publisher and fired leads legal dispute this is chris scullin at vgc following a legal saga which challenged the firing of its leadership team unknown worlds has finally announced the early access date for subnautica 2 a new cinematic trailer for the game has been published revealing the early access starts on may 14th at 8 a.m pacific quote we are thrilled to announce that subnautica 2 will be$29.99 USD at early launch early access launch unknown worlds stated in the game's official website you will need to buy subnautica 2 once during early access you'll get all additions updates and hot fixes up to our 1.0 launch and beyond beyond the announcement comes roughly a month after publisher craftin was accused of ignoring court orders by announcing to staff that the game was releasing in may despite such a decision seemingly being the responsibility of the newly reinstated CEO, Ted Gill.

It's actually happening. And this is, I mean, again, congratulations to the founders getting reinstated. You know, there was all, if you go look at the lawsuit, the whole thing appear apparently allegedly was crafting trying to get out of paying them their bonus if they got it out by a certain date so they didn't let them get out and then they fucking got rid of them and they're like they can't do that they always went and then they the judge was like you gotta let them back in so they let them back in and now they're putting the game out is anyone going to play subnautica 2 that's what i want to know are you going to play subnautica 2 now and this isn't that i think it looks like trash or anything like that i couldn't even pick subnautica 2 out of a lineup i just think it's interesting we've covered the news for so long that i have no idea the hype for subnautica 2 i mean yes a lot of people are saying yes over here twitch chat a lot of yeses a few no's in the youtube very interesting

Timothy, tell me how excited you are. I am so excited. A little later, actually a lot later than I expected this to be. I thought this was going to be a summer game, but I can't freaking wait. I just want to get my hands on it. This is one of the ones I need to feel. I need to know what I'm in for, but the thing I'm most excited for, there's a story mode, and I think that's going to be a lot lot of fun i i really have high hopes for it this is one of the games that i'm like you know we all get it we look at this and it's like it could just be one of those diamond dozen like another game's coming out or this could be a labor of love that people understand yo there's expectations here that are different than just a star wars genre game right this is like i'm trying to live up to especially come on the boon to eve classic i get to do it again in 4k sure can't wait i'm excited for you.

We're not asking for too much. We're really not. I mean, for real. Microtransaction it, John. Do you not like money? You know what I mean?

Extremely okay games. Maker of Celeste announces platform adventure game City of None on PS4 PC.

52:03I'm sorry. This is Sal Romano and Komatsu who remember is much more young and handsome than you think. Yeah, I always thought Sal Romano was going to be an old person and then he watches the show. He's probably watching right now, but then he popped up once and I was like, I was like, damn, wait, what the fuck? You're younger than me. Weird. Good for you, Sal. And he also is in shape. Extremely OK Games has announced City of None, a side-scrolling platform adventure game from Celeste co-creator Noel Barry and Liam Barry. It will launch for PC via Steam in 2027. Here is an overview of the game via its Steam page.

52:34Adventure through a metropolis filled with strange spirits, wicked beasts, ferocious robots, and more than one friend as you rest life and the city's future back from the grip of ravenous barons. A platforming adventure game made from the co-creator of Celeste. Bullet points, three of them. Discover unique items and power-ups that grant you new platforming abilities. Venture by train to the city's five sectors and explore their many pathways. Meet many friendly and not so friendly city inhabitants through your adventure. This looks super, super, super cool. Yeah, it looks really cool. And I love the colors and the kind of visual style of this.

53:13I learned something recently, Greg, that I'm like, I wish I knew this before. And maybe inherently in my heart and soul, I did know it. But now that I officially know it's going to be one of those annoying things I bring up any chance I get. there's an interior design formula, like a rule of color balancing, 60-30-10, where you want to balance things out color-wise with that ratio, right? And that's how you get really nice aesthetic looks. I don't know that this is doing that, but just like it's given me the 60-30-10 feel. Somebody broke it down with a bunch of cartoons of when a cartoon looks good and when a cartoon looks bad.

53:50Got it, got it, got it. Using Batman Beyond as an example of it. Of looking good? It's like without, yeah, of course. And without fail, every single screen, the color balance, 60, 30, 10. And I'm like, huh? And then you think about homes, you think about interior design, and you think about like the color balance. I'm like, whoa, whoa. Anyway, pretty game, everyone. I'm sure Andy is sweating. Maybe. Because if you discover this, I'm sure we discover Andy's not as smart as we think he is. Oh, yeah. I mean, we're always like, how did Andy make this look so good? He's just over there. Andy's taught me a lot about the greebles and keebles or whatever the fuck.

54:22I love a good greeble keeble. Number seven on the Roper Report, Strange Scaffold announces anime driving game Truck-Kun is supporting me from another world. This is Sam Smith at GamesBeat. Strange Scaffold is known for developing the games I Am Your Beast, Click Holding, and El Paso Elsewhere. The studio's new title will be a vehicular action game where the player acts as a truck that transports or isekais people into a fantasy anime universe. In a statement Strange Scaffold described, Truck-kun is supporting me from another world as, quote, an anime-inspired game about smashing through objects at high speed to power up the corporate ladder climber you accidentally isekied into a dangerous medieval fantasy world, end quote.

55:05The title is inspired by the anime and manga subgenre of isekai, and I'm sorry if I'm saying this wrong, in which characters find themselves in parallel universes. The upcoming game, quote, will revel in its own absurdism while simultaneously grounding itself with sharp satire that reflects real life per Strange Scaffold's press release. Strange Scaffold, man. Go get him. Go fucking get him. Zoliver out there. Stop killing it. I don't understand. Yeah. It's magic. It doesn't, it actually doesn't make sense. How are they releasing this many games that are of a good quality with unique as hell premises back to back to back to back to back?

55:43Yep. It's special, man. We did an interview with Zoliver, me, and Bless a while back for, I believe it was a game sketch, but maybe it was a stream. I forget which one it was. Oh, yeah, because Zoliver did a presentation that we sat in on talking about how they make games and what they're doing and how they're turning games so quickly. And it was a fascinating conversation. I urge you to go do. I forget if it was maybe on that show or maybe it was before we did the interview or after where he talked about this game. I was like, that sounds fucking crazy. And to see it, I would immediately be like, I want to play that.

56:14that's the kind of it looks cool uh everybody get on that one uh because of course strange scaffold keeps making amazing stuff and one day i'm sure they're gonna make a game of the year but when they do that'll be big news it'll be so big instead of talking about that i'd rather talk about small news where can i go to get the smallest news items i need to know about tim you would go to our last news story the we news channel where we talk about all the small little tiny things you need to know about.

56:42Number eight, the Wii News. From Noble, Super Mario Galaxy 2 on Nintendo Switch 2 received an update that adds a new story to the storybook. You can read this new story by clearing any galaxy and earning a Power Star. I have so many questions. We talk about WNDs. This is one of them. Why? I'm not complaining. It's cool. That's a new one from Greg. But this is so bizarre. I mean, a lot of people are going to be coming back to those games, right? For the movies. Yeah, but like just adding more storybook stuff feels, it doesn't feel like it's for the randos out there. This is like for the hardcore.

57:19Sure. The freaks, man. It's going to canonize them being sisters. I don't think it does. That's the more bizarre part. Is that like the storybook is kind of not that story. It's like a different thing going on. I just read it to Sammy. I know. but not with not with the new page not the new page not even the other new pages they put the book out they added new pages I know and that's why that game really was not a remaster as much as it was you know what I mean it should have been available for Roger to get in Fantasy Critic if you ask me shut up Greg from VGC the studio behind Plague Tale series says the third game is now in the last stages of development quote the release is almost here that's exciting for Plague Tale fans yeah Xbox presents a special look at Stranger Than Heaven will be 30 minutes long and is set for May 6th after they bait and switched us on the last developer third party direct.

58:14From Noble again. Tina Meany was tweeting saying who's in charge over there of the production stuff saying it's the biggest, coolest, most stylish production she's been a part of over there. We should live react to it.

58:31We should do it. We should do it. I'll look into it. From Noble again, Pearl Abyss has sold CCP Games to current CEO Hilma Patterson for approximately 177.132 billion Korean won. Okay. I didn't realize CCP Games was owned by Pearl Abyss. So EVE Online and all that jazz was underneath Pearl Abyss? I didn't know that. Unless I'm thinking of something differently. Am I seeing something different in chat? Let me know. while you catch up, I'll tell you vampire crawlers has surpassed 1 million players in its first week. Go get them, uncle. Hell yeah. Uh, Nacon connect is back on May 7th, 2026. Uh, this is news because remember it was going to happen.

59:15Then they declared the bankruptcy and earth's file for insolvency. So they canceled or postponed it. Now they've done it again and saying, now we're doing it on May 7th. And then Aaron Lime has a super chat that says important. We news per rock, paper, shotgun, former spiders developers are asking people to boycott Nacon citing purposeful mismanagement of the shutdown. Who would have thought this would be messy as you try to go bankrupt right before your showcase, then bring your showcase back. I digress. What did we find out about over here? Yeah, it is even the CCP zone by. I didn't know that.

59:46Okay. Then back to noble again. Oh, Oh, I see spiders confirmed. So this is noble spiders confirmed the report that Nacon shut it down after they couldn't find a buyer. So then that's where the wee news comes in of like, Now it's purposeful in this management They're asking for a boycott Possessors received a new patch And a permanent price cut to$10 And then Dune Awakening update 1.4 And the Water Wars DLC Arrives May 19th So look out A lot of water in Dune No there isn't That's why there's a war over Look out Nick Mike Andy and Chris Anker Well Gary probably Gary will actually lose his life to it But you know what's going on Anyways I digress let's get some super chats here the portland kevin says subnautica is one of my favorite exploration slash survival games ever easy base building cool underwater biomes and terrifying sea monsters go play it uh christoph says uh star wars trailer had me run through a brick wall hell yeah uh science dog official says bacon and craigs hashtag basic bacon and craigs

1:00:54I'm scrolling back to find some other things Where we talk about the other things You see that thing over there Nightlife says Live Golf is dead Does this signal the United Arab Emirates And other investors To back out of companies And let them die Instead of selling it off Maybe they just let studios collapse Happy birthday Lisa We've got some fucking unhinged super chats I love it You have a lot of characters. Grab and die, but I also wanted to ask about a video game. Like, okay, okay, cool. Happy birthday, Lisa.
