and welcome to the 500
0:33
and 7th edition of the

joined by a few of
0:40
my favorite fallout folks. Tonight,
0:42
I've got Ray. What's up,
0:44
Ray? Hello, hello? And Jess, what's
0:47
going on, Jess? Hey Andrew
0:49
Greeps everybody. Tonight on
0:51
the show, we go over gameplay
0:53
on the top as per usual.
0:55
Then we got a double dip
0:58
dose of the game time. Excited
1:00
about that. Just brought the mean
1:02
team of games for us. Also
1:04
a little bit of a guana
1:06
bits and a little bit of
1:08
remembrance at the end of the
1:11
show tonight. Let's go ahead and
1:13
roll right into it and check
1:15
in with everybody, see what we'll
1:17
be getting into. Jess, do you
1:19
have a chance playing video games
1:21
this week? I think we need
1:23
to satisfy Shat's curiosity first.
1:25
In the lead up to the
1:28
show, you had me dying here behind
1:30
this microphone because you were showing me
1:32
these cute little charms. You want to
1:35
tell us what you got right here? sort
1:37
of foam rubbery little charms
1:39
that you have little pins
1:41
that you they only go
1:44
super high class footwear super
1:46
high class yeah I'm talking
1:48
like stiletto heels because
1:50
I wear lots of those you
1:52
know really nice you know just
1:54
the the top the line footwear
1:56
stuff you know how you tap shoes
1:59
he looks kind of thing. Put
2:01
charms on your top of the lime,
2:03
you know. No, I have, I just
2:05
was digging around in my drawer and
2:07
found a little pack of crock pins
2:09
that my wife got me for
2:11
Christmas. There's fallout themed crock
2:13
pins, but they're all just
2:16
looking out. They're all really
2:18
cute. Breaking news, Andrew has
2:20
crocks, toes out for fallout. That's,
2:22
that's what I was kind of
2:24
surprised with. Is that a... A big
2:27
surprise, doesn't everyone have like a junky
2:29
pair of crocks that they wear for
2:31
gardening shoes or whatever these days? Do
2:33
you not have a pair of crocks?
2:35
To be fair, they're pretty, they're pretty
2:37
popular, I do not have crocks, no.
2:39
My fad footwear that people make fun
2:42
of are that I still love my
2:44
tivas. No way. She's so naive. I know,
2:46
they're so comfy though. What about ugs, did
2:48
you ever get a pair of ugs or
2:50
fake ugs? floppy boots that don't give any
2:53
shitty, they don't give any shitty, any shitty
2:55
support at all? I love ugs. I call them
2:57
booties because I've only, I love booties because
2:59
I've only had off-brand ugs. So you know,
3:01
you go, you get like the pay less
3:04
ugs, you get to these ugs, you wear
3:06
them for a couple years. Indoor outdoor, you
3:08
get a new pair. They're fantastic. Tossing away.
3:10
I don't wear them out the house unless
3:12
we're talking just to get the mail or
3:15
something. Like, I have standards. I'm wearing my
3:17
clogs, like, like, like, or crocks, you know
3:19
when I'm mowing the one I'm mowing the
3:21
lawns. I'm sitting on my lawn tractor putting
3:23
around the yard when I'm wearing mine. A
3:25
safety person will probably say, oh no, no,
3:28
never know, with soft toad shoes on. But
3:30
yeah, we laugh, we laugh at people with
3:32
crocks, but the thing is, crock lovers
3:34
kind of square by them. I know that
3:36
they're casual shoes, some people just love.
3:38
They love their crocks, but I just
3:40
also, there's also like this big pushback
3:42
where, you know, grown men don't wear
3:44
crocks, I've seen a lot of yes,
3:46
but it's, but it's, but it's pretty
3:48
funny. But it's pretty funny. But it's
3:50
pretty funny. And the fact that you
3:52
have fallout charms. Yeah, fallout charms. Like
3:54
those are so cool. Like I'm actually
3:57
like, oh wow, that's actually kind
3:59
of neat. I think my wife
4:01
was looking for Nintendo themed ones
4:03
for my son and accidentally found
4:05
these and just had to get
4:08
them too. You know what I mean?
4:10
Absolutely. With your footwear
4:12
doesn't have a vault boy on it.
4:15
Oh man, I've got a rat away here
4:17
and a little mini nuke. Man, I could,
4:19
they could flag me at the airport
4:21
with these. Yeah. All his weapons and
4:24
stuff. Yep, they could flag you all
4:26
kinds of places running around of
4:28
those sheets of little follow-up
4:31
charms. Flag me? Yes. Video games.
4:33
I'm sorry y'all, but I had to
4:35
tell you I had to had to rat
4:37
him out. I don't know why it's a
4:39
big rat out. It's not really. You
4:41
know, I confess to my eggs. We're
4:44
all good. 80% of the population owns
4:46
ugs or crocks or crocks or
4:48
one or the other or both. They really
4:50
do if anything I just ratted
4:52
myself. And I have neither so
4:54
Ray's retired. He doesn't put
4:57
on shoes anymore. That's true. I'd
4:59
have to glue those things top of
5:01
my feet. I bet you have a
5:03
pretty good comfy pair of slippers,
5:05
right? Or do you go around
5:08
barefoot? I'm mostly barefoot. You're
5:10
a TV's guy too, though, right?
5:12
Isn't that what you were wearing
5:14
walking around when... You came to
5:16
when I you visit you had some
5:19
like strappy sandals on like that, right?
5:21
Are you a you a Teva guy
5:23
TV? No, I mean, I I do
5:26
wear leather sandals from time to time.
5:28
You know, if I'm going to
5:30
the grocery store or something. That's
5:32
a little fancy. But yeah, no,
5:35
they're yeah, not on my not on
5:37
my shoe agenda. What is your shoe
5:39
agenda? What's your favorite pair
5:41
of shoes? Well, my favorite pair
5:43
of shoes is none. None, of course.
5:46
It's just like melee. You're
5:48
like unarmed. My second favorite
5:50
would probably be boat shoes.
5:52
Boat shoes. Yeah, just a regular pair
5:55
of dock shoes. I was going to
5:57
ask, are boat shoes different than
5:59
dock? shoes because my dad always
6:02
said, dock shoes and stuff. Okay,
6:04
so we've got a lot of
6:06
chat weighing on here. First of
6:08
all, Strata Blaster says barefoot is
6:10
the way, Ray. So he knows
6:12
what's up. Angel says her kids
6:14
have crocks in every color and
6:17
we wear them every day if they
6:19
could. Oh no, I'm a stupid kid.
6:21
Bob is in chat too and
6:23
he says what's a crock. So
6:26
he's feigning ignorance. Something tells
6:28
me he's got a pair. Don't play
6:30
that Bob. Never owned Crocks. Oh,
6:32
Randall Wasteland says Stiletto Drew is
6:35
what they call you in those
6:37
stilettos you open the show with.
6:39
You should see my stiletto Crocks.
6:41
Whoa, high heel Crocks, height of fashion.
6:44
You know, I can't say anything.
6:46
I mean, I had platformed Doc
6:48
Martins when I was younger, so. I
6:51
want the body of the body of
6:53
the footwear to be Crock, but then
6:55
from... You know, the top of the, like,
6:57
mid-top of the foot going up to mid-calf
6:59
to be ug. Can I get a crug?
7:01
I actually think I may have seen something
7:03
like a crug before. You've got the
7:06
plastic base with holes in it and
7:08
then it's got like a little ankle
7:10
warmer, like a little booty coming up.
7:12
Shoes are weird, y'all. I love shoes,
7:14
but I think we've run out of
7:16
ideas sometimes. People come up with some
7:18
weird stuff. My favorite thing, my wife
7:20
says. She's really into, I
7:23
just blanked on the name.
7:25
The movie with Luke
7:27
Wilson and Terry Cruz
7:29
is the president and
7:32
it's the crazy future
7:34
and everyone's an idiot
7:36
and they drink electrolytes
7:38
for, what the fuck
7:41
is that movie? Paradise?
7:43
Paradise? What is that
7:45
fucking movie? My root off is
7:47
in it. Idiocracy, right. My favorite thing
7:50
about that is my wife was telling
7:52
me that she heard an interview with
7:54
the producer who said that they wanted to
7:57
display how idiotic everyone is in
7:59
the future. having them all wear
8:01
the world's stupidest shoes and he
8:03
just happened to found it was
8:05
it ended up being Crocks like
8:07
they accidentally sort of predicted
8:09
the the idiot future with with how popular
8:12
Crocks got all the sudden because they were
8:14
like almost unknown when they're making the movie
8:16
and he's like someone evidently found it was
8:19
like well those are the stupidest looking shoes
8:21
I've ever seen let's put every idiot in
8:23
the movie in those and so everyone looked like
8:25
an idiot and evidently most of the characters
8:27
I haven't checked to like watch the movie
8:29
to see but they evidently a lot of
8:31
the characters are wearing crocks in that movie
8:33
which is hilarious well It's kind of
8:36
prescient that you mentioned
8:38
idiocracy because you may
8:40
remember the president in
8:42
that movie was President
8:44
Mountain Dew Camacho. That was
8:47
his name, President Mountain Dew
8:49
Camacho. And that is relevant
8:52
to today's game. Mountain Dew
8:54
or Mountain Don't, when we get
8:56
there. It's going to be a fun
8:58
one, y'all, but you're going to
9:00
wait for that. I mean, it's been,
9:02
it's been a week. But last weekend
9:05
I crammed in a lot of game
9:07
time Saturday Sunday. So I've been threatening
9:09
to beat a vowed for a
9:11
while I've been updating my progress
9:13
then my lack of progress for a
9:15
while than my progress I beat a vowed
9:18
twice last weekend Because you know
9:20
does that mean to restart and
9:22
beat it again or did you? Well, no,
9:24
I mean twice. Yeah, I beat the
9:26
ending twice I had to go back
9:28
away. So what happened got through and?
9:30
I finished it up I was probably
9:32
I thought I was close to the end, I thought
9:34
I could maybe get it starting to night, but really
9:36
it took, it took until probably
9:38
Sunday morning at least, actually, sorry,
9:40
that's an exaggeration. I finished it
9:43
Sunday morning and then didn't get all
9:45
the achievements, that's when I went back Saturday
9:47
afternoon, after I woke up in and beat
9:49
it a second time. So, the first time
9:51
through, it was actually pretty long ending, pretty
9:53
in depth, and I'm getting all these achievements
9:56
pop, like, it's so satisfying, after a hundred
9:58
or so hours in a game. when
10:00
you get in there suddenly like
10:02
collected all the save points collected
10:04
all the fast travel points collected
10:07
all the campsites you're like yeah
10:09
yeah yeah I'm awesome yeah and then you hit
10:11
the very end and you realize wait
10:13
one of them didn't pop and oh and
10:15
then oh another one didn't pop and you
10:17
beat the final boss and you get
10:19
the credits and it's gorgeous and
10:21
you get the perfect ending you
10:23
wanted you're so happy but then you look
10:26
and you didn't get the achievement
10:28
rating max level and I was so
10:30
mad, so I loaded back into the
10:32
game before that save. Guess how many
10:35
experience points I was from Max
10:37
level when I loaded back in?
10:39
This is out of a couple
10:41
hundred some thousand. Two, less
10:43
than ten. That would make an
10:45
amazing story, and it was 459.
10:47
I was 459 experience points short.
10:49
out of the entire range. So
10:51
I'm like, okay, so I run
10:53
back from the final boss, I
10:55
run backwards, and I'm scouring the
10:57
map, seeing back finding more enemies
10:59
to kill. And I do, I
11:01
find some, and then I'm 203
11:03
experience points from Max level. And
11:05
I cannot find any more, and
11:07
I'm so mad. That's okay. I go
11:10
to bed because that's what people do.
11:12
Anything else other than combat? Can you
11:14
like craft up your your XP or
11:16
anything? It doesn't have the systems for
11:19
XP at all. No, you get XP
11:21
for discovering locations or finishing quests and
11:23
for combat primarily. So it's
11:25
okay because I did, I didn't get
11:27
some achievements pop and there's also multiple
11:30
endings. So I got the really good
11:32
ending and you know, I wanted to experiment,
11:34
flirt with some of the bad endings for
11:36
the achievements. So I went back in the
11:38
next day and I loaded back in from
11:40
probably two, three hours before the ending.
11:42
It was a little ways. And then I got
11:45
the one for instead of saving God. Some
11:47
games you got to kill God. Well, in this one you
11:49
kind of got to save your God. But then I got
11:51
the achievement for killing your God, which was very sad and
11:53
I did not like it. So, but I did that just
11:55
for the children and then reloaded. Then I went through
11:57
and I got the one that I missed for there
11:59
wasn't one final. memory I didn't collect so
12:01
I got that one and then I fought my
12:03
way through it this and then I got to
12:06
like the final conclave for the big battle
12:08
and I had to once again she has the
12:10
evil option it may surprise you guys I
12:12
don't like taking the evil option the first
12:14
time usually so I took the evil option
12:17
the first time usually so I took the
12:19
evil option even though it hurts that all
12:21
my friends hated me and they told me
12:23
how awful I was and they all left
12:25
my party and rig would probably be
12:28
like good it was very sad But
12:30
then I reloaded it and got
12:32
it back and I did all
12:34
the little alternate things there. I
12:36
got the final achievement for Poppy
12:38
I got the final achievement for
12:40
this and that and then I'm on my
12:42
way fighting to the final battle and
12:44
halfway through the city I get
12:46
max level and I have
12:48
Almost all achievements. There are a
12:51
couple that didn't pop for me. I
12:53
think one of them is bugged, but
12:55
the other and the others I know
12:57
I didn't happen this fine. And I
12:59
got like almost like 800 game a score
13:01
on it and some of those achievements you
13:03
guys are like 0.27% 0.51% like they have
13:06
some hard achievements in there so I feel
13:08
good. And 0.27.1% means the percentage
13:10
of players who have achieved that
13:12
accomplishment. Yeah people who started the
13:15
game who have gotten those achievements.
13:17
So a rare achievement is anything
13:19
under 10% so that's kind of
13:21
you can tell how many how what
13:23
percentage of players actually got to a
13:25
certain point in the game. You know,
13:27
it's like, like if the
13:29
first achievement is exit the
13:31
vault, you're like, okay, this
13:33
person made a character and
13:35
exited the vault. 83%. You're
13:37
like, wait, just 17% to start
13:39
the game? Look at the menu and
13:42
say after that. Yeah, they can figure
13:44
out how to open the door and
13:46
they just quit. They're like, no
13:48
heck in way. My dad is
13:50
Liam Nieson, this will not stand
13:52
and they just leave, you know,
13:54
I don't, I don't know. But yeah.
13:57
called Elder Girls for oblivion.
13:59
No, we're not. We're talking about the remaster.
14:01
We're talking the O.G. I played a bit
14:03
of that last weekend too because I was
14:05
very confident about the remakes
14:07
coming out. Well, you guys know I
14:10
was confident, even though I hadn't been
14:12
announced and things were happening. And so
14:14
I had a few, I wanted to
14:16
do some video comparisons and photo comparisons.
14:18
So I took photos of some
14:20
major landmarks. I took a couple of
14:23
videos where from the Imperial City,
14:25
walking to Coralgate and back. from
14:27
the Imperial City, walking through Skingrad to Anvil
14:29
and back. And so I did it, I
14:31
got an hour or two of video, just
14:33
doing stuff like that, that I could then
14:36
record in the remakes during when it released
14:38
and do a little comparison with the two. I
14:40
thought that would be fun. Yeah, like what would be
14:42
sweet. Played the game. Oh, it was just,
14:44
it was fun being back in O.G. Oblivion,
14:46
like for real and actually playing it, you
14:48
know, I definitely enjoyed that, seeing my
14:50
own character. reacquainting
14:52
myself with the combat in the
14:55
original so I compare the two
14:57
and just Wiggling your sword at
14:59
an ogre to win, Bob's actually
15:01
in chat right now. And Bob
15:03
was mentioned, you know, he's still
15:06
finishing up, wrapping up O.G. Oblivion
15:08
too, because he's been playing, I
15:10
think O.G. Oblivion for a good
15:12
year or two, off and on. He's
15:14
been playing, I think O.G. Obliving for
15:16
a good year or two, off and
15:19
on. Just like, I wonder if he's
15:21
just going to finish the old one
15:23
and then start the new one.
15:25
immediately after finishing the old one
15:27
or if he would like hold off
15:29
at all and Then then I was gonna
15:31
ask you guys Have you guys ever played
15:34
a game? Jesse was just talking
15:36
about finishing the game you
15:38
were playing a game beat
15:40
it started immediately Started it over
15:42
again like oh, I want to play this
15:44
again right now. I got to play this
15:46
game again Oh, a lot of people report
15:49
doing that. The way I play games
15:51
taking so long, generally. You play 200
15:53
hour games. Probably I don't know. Often,
15:55
but I mean, I'm sure I have,
15:57
but I can't think of one right now.
15:59
But a lot of people don't like
16:02
a lot of our Baldur's Gate friends
16:04
for instance like Jen talks about doing
16:06
that in Baldur's Gate and a few
16:08
other friends like immediately finished the game
16:10
immediately new character I got this idea
16:12
I'm awaiting on I mean Ray you've done that
16:14
a number of times I'm sure finished the
16:16
game and then immediately and then yeah.
16:18
Does Starfield count? That's not really a
16:20
restart it's a reset almost you know what
16:23
I mean? For the New Game Plus? Yeah. Yeah. When
16:25
you beat it, you start it again. Like,
16:27
but it's just kind of different. Yeah, but
16:29
no, that kind of is bad. That kind
16:31
of is immediate going to New Game
16:33
Plus. And actually, New Game Plus for
16:35
other games is where I have done
16:38
it. Like, for instance, there's a game
16:40
called Bastion. I've mentioned before, because I
16:42
love the soundtrack. It's a great game from
16:44
Super Giant. You know, they've done
16:46
games like Pire, Pire, Transistor. Oh,
16:49
Hades. Everyone knows Hades. It's
16:51
like they're more recent games,
16:53
but it's popular. And Bastion
16:55
had a new game plus, and I
16:57
immediately jumped back in that
16:59
one. Bastion. Nice. Ray? Do you
17:01
ever start? Well, shit, Ray's like,
17:03
I played 10 minutes of this
17:05
character, I better restart it. That
17:07
doesn't count, Ray. No? Oh, damn. You
17:09
ever finished? Well, I don't know. Your
17:11
submarine games don't feel like, do they
17:14
have missions that you can finish the?
17:16
I mean, the online mode and
17:18
then a mission mode. It's
17:21
a continuous date, advance, game,
17:23
so eventually the war ends.
17:25
Does it restart? No. You
17:28
have to start over. You have
17:30
to start the war again. You
17:32
start saying some shit. You have
17:34
to roll back to 1939. No
17:37
one wants to do that. Yeah.
17:39
Yeah, I mean, when I first played
17:41
Fallout 4, you know, I went
17:43
through... trying to fashion right you know
17:45
finish it up then oh wait now these
17:47
other factions so i had to go through
17:50
each time with which each of the
17:52
factions and then i broke into i'll
17:54
play this character for 20 levels
17:56
and then i'll try this one
17:58
for 20 levels And then I
18:00
think that, I mean I've certainly had
18:03
characters that have just made it out
18:05
of the vault. Try each of the main
18:07
four factions. Yeah. Wow. That's pretty
18:10
awesome. We all got there, but some of
18:12
us took longer than others. Yeah,
18:14
we eventually did it through
18:17
roundtables. And then I think that,
18:19
I mean I've certainly had characters
18:21
that have just made it out of
18:23
the vault. So I don't think I
18:25
had anybody that I actually left in
18:28
the vault. So I think they all
18:30
of the concept. Yeah. So I'm pretty
18:32
sure I got that that achievement on
18:34
all of my characters. I do
18:37
have that one character that I
18:39
left in the vault. That is my
18:41
hard save on 111 before you
18:43
leave. So that you don't have
18:45
to sit through the intro over
18:47
and over and over again. That
18:49
person is permanently stuck
18:51
in the vault forever. I'm sorry
18:53
guy. Yeah, they're talking achievements in
18:55
chat right now a little bit
18:57
since we were, but I'm telling
18:59
them, but I usually try for
19:02
at least a hundred plus. If
19:04
it's a long game, I try
19:06
for at least 600 out of
19:08
a thousand, but it's preferably 800
19:10
or everything I can get, like
19:12
everything possible. But if I have less
19:14
than 600, I refuse to stop until
19:17
I get that. You know, that's just
19:19
kind of with a game if I finish
19:21
it. I was not aware of that. The
19:23
old downloadable games on Xbox Live Arcade
19:25
were 200 and regular games were
19:27
1,000 back on 360, which was pretty
19:30
annoying because you felt like you, okay, I
19:32
know this is silly, but sometimes it'd be
19:34
like, why would I play a game with
19:36
200 achievements and I could play with a
19:38
thousand achievements? And so I would skip the
19:41
occasional live arcade game just because even
19:43
if I wanted to play it because
19:45
achievements have broken me. But yeah,
19:47
so they pretty much all have a thousand,
19:49
but then the DLC often adds. So you'll
19:51
get games that have had multiple DLCs to
19:54
add more and more. That's like Fallout
19:56
4. You know, I had perfect through the
19:58
game and all the first five DLC. but then
20:00
didn't get all of nuka world when that
20:02
came out. No? Have you subsequently?
20:04
No, I've never, I, nope. All right, next
20:07
roundtable, achievements, achievements, achievements,
20:09
achievements, achievements. I mean, I
20:11
don't know many people who have 100%
20:13
did fall out for with all the nuka
20:16
world ones, but a few. Come on. Except
20:18
for he doesn't play console, so
20:20
what does steam have? They don't have
20:22
achievements. I assume they have some sort
20:24
of trophies or something, right? I see
20:26
crap pop up all the time, so
20:28
there must be something there. Do you
20:30
play through steam or what? For the
20:32
most part. I mean it just depends
20:35
on the game. Some people do
20:37
value those steam achievements. Like it
20:39
is actually a thing, Andrew. So
20:42
on PlayStation trophies, on Steam
20:44
and Xbox and Steam both use
20:46
the word achievements. So what you said?
20:48
Okay. And some of them match up, but
20:50
Steam usually has extra for some games too.
20:53
Oh. But some people really do compete there,
20:55
and people definitely on PlayStation value their trophies,
20:57
because you've got your silver and your gold,
20:59
but you've got the Platinum, which is something
21:01
Xbox doesn't have, and the Platinum is when you're
21:03
100% it. So that's when you get that thousand
21:06
game or square. You get the whole thing
21:08
you get a special achievement saying, or a
21:10
special trophy saying, hey, hey, Platinum Trophy. Platinum
21:12
Trophy. And they can't take that away from you with
21:14
the. And in their eyes 100% just
21:16
means collecting all the achievements, but
21:18
achievements are basically the milestones of
21:20
the game, so that if you
21:22
have collected all the achievements, you've
21:24
basically done everything in the game.
21:26
Exactly. And there are different philosophies
21:28
on adding achievements to the game.
21:31
Exactly. And there are different philosophies
21:33
on adding achievements to games. Some
21:35
just have as part of the
21:37
story, where by playing the main
21:39
story or by finishing the game,
21:41
you'll get all of the achievements.
21:43
And some, they make it more like a
21:45
fallout style or others like that, where
21:47
you'll get a significant number of them
21:49
for doing the main quest and factions
21:51
and side quests. But then there are
21:54
some that actually have to work for
21:56
that are hard. And then there are the
21:58
occasional game that makes them all.
22:00
obscure and difficult and a pain
22:02
in the ass and you play
22:04
like a hundred hours and you've
22:07
only got like 150 out of
22:09
a thousand and you was so
22:11
mad rough I just you know
22:13
don't you earn like your Xbox
22:15
live points or something via
22:17
achievements isn't that one of
22:20
the ways you Like pay for your
22:22
live access or whatever you used to be
22:24
able to get some that way Yeah, but
22:26
now they don't really play into that just
22:28
time played like actually playing game past games.
22:30
Oh actually no I shouldn't say that that's
22:32
not true you you do get some they've
22:34
have reworked a few times But there are
22:36
often achievements like get three achievements in a
22:38
game past game and so by earning any
22:40
achievement, you know Not specific achievements not
22:42
like total quantity, but get at least three
22:44
of this week and you get some point.
22:47
So yeah Gamepass is making me mad
22:49
today because I saw some ad where
22:51
I was like, oh, it's it's game
22:53
pass free play days Play all these
22:55
awesome games try them out for free
22:57
and I click on I'm a big
22:59
fan of the alien franchise so I
23:01
click on the alien game in there
23:03
and Like it's just like trying to
23:05
charge me nine ninety nine and I'm
23:07
like wait a second that's supposed to
23:09
be free try it out days. What
23:11
the hell's going on and then I
23:13
look at another game and I look
23:15
at another game it's not try it
23:17
for free days. It's try it for cheap
23:19
days then or something. So do they,
23:21
I was just thinking, am I looking at
23:24
this wrong? You might be looking at the
23:26
wrong version of the game too. I can't
23:28
figure it out. And not everything's in
23:30
game past, you know, it has to
23:32
be in game past for it to
23:34
work. But it was one of the
23:36
front, the reason I clicked on it
23:38
was because that was one of the
23:41
games advertised for free. So I clicked on
23:43
it and I was like, it was like, it.
23:45
But I want to tell you guys about
23:47
the most frustrating or the most dumb achievement
23:49
that I dealt with since they're talking about
23:51
it in chat. So in the game, mass effect and
23:53
drama, and I might have mentioned this a
23:55
couple years ago, so apologies if you've heard
23:58
this one before, but in mass effect. at
24:00
Andromeda, there is an achievement for
24:02
leaping the largest canyon in the
24:04
game, okay? It's on a moon
24:06
with very low gravity and you're
24:09
in your nomad, jing along and
24:11
you have to, you have to
24:13
jump, you have to completely clear
24:15
this canyon land on the other
24:17
side. And it's not that rare
24:20
of an achievement. It's like maybe
24:22
15, 20% like people get it.
24:24
And I tried for over three
24:26
hours. and I could not do
24:29
this in my nomad and I'm
24:31
running and I'm revving and I'm
24:33
avoiding the rocks I'm hitting the
24:35
jump and again and again I'm
24:37
so mad and and so I
24:40
like I'm gonna take a breather
24:42
and I go and I stop
24:44
a few times to watch YouTube
24:46
videos I'm like okay let's see
24:49
how the people did it and
24:51
they're doing exactly what I'm doing
24:53
and I just I can't imagine
24:55
because I have maxed my skills
24:57
I'm in a good place at
25:00
this And I'm not saying I'm
25:02
a great driver, but I'm a
25:04
pretty good driver, even with a
25:06
fake vehicle on an alien moon.
25:08
Well, actually, I say that, and
25:11
then I drive the Revate and
25:13
Star Fields maybe don't trust me
25:15
since I hit every rock on
25:17
the way. But turns out, turns
25:20
out it was my Xbox elite
25:22
controller, because it has trigger locks
25:24
on it. And so the trigger
25:26
lock was on, so you only
25:28
depress it halfway. And even though
25:31
I had a calibrated that halfway
25:33
equals full. The game was registering
25:35
it as like 95% and it
25:37
was not giving me the full
25:40
speed fully holding down it because
25:42
it was a dang trigger lock.
25:44
So yeah, agonized over that for
25:46
hours and hours and it was
25:48
just one little flipper button on
25:51
my controller. That's frustrating. As soon
25:53
as I turned it off, first
25:55
try. Well, because you had all
25:57
that practice first, you know what
25:59
I mean? I was a pro.
26:02
Yeah, absolutely. I was competition ready.
26:04
despite failing again and again. But
26:06
anyway, gameplay just finished up. I
26:08
did my fall out 76 weekly.
26:11
Some fall out 76 in Sunday,
26:13
Monday. And of course, the Oblivion
26:15
Remakester came out Tuesday, but I
26:17
honestly haven't, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, I
26:19
haven't played any games. I just
26:22
haven't been up for it. So
26:24
that's pretty much me. I'm curious
26:26
what you guys have been up
26:28
too. Yeah, right. What have you
26:31
been getting into this week, sir?
26:33
But I did have one achievement
26:35
in one game that I set
26:37
out to get. Let's see, what
26:39
do you think, Jess? It's got
26:42
to be something super... Let's see,
26:44
let's see, let's see, kill Preston,
26:46
just kill Preston, let's see. Oh,
26:48
in Starfield. Well, I know, I
26:50
see he's playing mostly, maybe he's
26:53
playing something else, maybe, was it
26:55
a no man sky one? I
26:57
don't know. I don't know, can
26:59
you tell us the game, right?
27:02
Or will that give it away?
27:04
Fall out for. Oh, you already
27:06
have them all, don't you? Well,
27:08
no, this is a new character
27:10
achievement. No, this is one. This
27:13
is when I was playing fallout
27:15
for at the start. And he
27:17
wanted a specific achievement. There was
27:19
one, there was one achievement that
27:22
I saw that I definitely wanted.
27:24
Good dog, go feed the dog.
27:26
No. Damn it. Is there one
27:28
for collecting all bobble heads? You
27:30
would want that. Is that it,
27:33
Gray? Bobble heads? No, I wouldn't
27:35
care if there was an achievement
27:37
for that. I would just do
27:39
it. The basis, the basis, the
27:42
basis. There you go. I remember
27:44
it in Diamond City. Diamond City.
27:46
Why that one? I remember you
27:48
mentioned that. Yeah, but why that
27:50
one in particular? I don't know.
27:53
It was just... I saw that
27:55
that was an achievement. Huh. I'm
27:57
like, okay, I want to do
27:59
that. I want to go run
28:01
the bases at old, I almost
28:04
call it regularly. What's it called
28:06
Fenway? Is that what the baseball
28:08
fanway? Fenway, right. No Andrew, it's
28:10
Diamond City. It's Diamond City. Yeah,
28:13
that's what I meant, sorry. That's
28:15
such an elegant achievement. I mean,
28:17
that kind of makes sense, you
28:19
know, it's simple, it's a... cool
28:21
one I like that one yeah
28:24
so all the rest of them
28:26
have just been you know I
28:28
couldn't I couldn't stop from giving
28:30
me an achievement you can't turn
28:33
them off sometimes you don't mean
28:35
to you don't mean to you're
28:37
like damn it I'm on vacation
28:39
it happens yeah all right either
28:41
have you ever gotten the nukicade
28:44
tickets there's like a hundred thousand
28:46
tickets or something you're supposed to
28:48
get I found like two thousand
28:50
one of these days I will
28:52
I think I'm in the 40
28:55
thousands and I just gave up.
28:57
Way more than me. I don't
28:59
know. We'll see. I did manage
29:01
to squeeze a few games in
29:04
this week. So, what you're playing?
29:06
Well, I deleted my install of
29:08
No Man's Guy. We have an
29:10
issues with it, right? Yeah, it
29:12
was something that was going weird.
29:15
It was super stuttery, even when
29:17
I turned the graphic settings down
29:19
and everything. So, I deleted it
29:21
and then reinstalled it and it's
29:24
been working great ever since. Awesome.
29:26
Glad that worked. So happy to
29:28
get that back. You know, Starfield
29:30
having a blast with my little
29:32
pirate character. I downloaded a couple
29:35
of pirate quality of life mods.
29:37
Nice. So one is a rum
29:39
meter and a parrot food stash.
29:41
One removes the timer on killing
29:43
the last witness. Oh, so they
29:46
get away, you can hunt them
29:48
down. Well, so there's a ridiculously
29:50
short timer on the, it's like
29:52
30 seconds that you have from
29:55
the time that you initiate an
29:57
attack until the time you have
29:59
to kill everybody. Oh my God,
30:01
that is a very tight window.
30:03
So you're talking about space combat,
30:06
right? Space combat if you go
30:08
in and commandeer a ship. Any
30:10
any illegal activity even on foot
30:12
down on the on the plan
30:15
too? Wow, but But now with
30:17
this mod, when you kill the
30:19
last witness, your bounty goes away.
30:21
And the place that's most significant
30:23
is taking over gal bank ships.
30:26
So if you want to rob
30:28
the bank, you know, that's usually
30:30
a long drawn out fight with
30:32
the security team on the inside
30:34
of the spaceship. Right. And so
30:37
you would rob the bank. and
30:39
get, maybe if you're lucky, maybe
30:41
10,000 credits, but if it was
30:43
a big ship with a lot
30:46
of people on it, you'd end
30:48
up with a $100,000 bounty. And
30:50
so, you know, you're losing money.
30:52
So with this, with this mod,
30:54
now, if you, if you, pirate
30:57
a ship, but you leave before
30:59
everybody's dead and you don't take
31:01
it over. and you just fly
31:03
off, you'll have a bounty. If
31:06
somebody escapes or if you're attacking
31:08
a ship and there's another ship
31:10
in the system and they escape,
31:12
then you'll have bounties. But as
31:14
long as there's no witnesses, there's
31:17
no crime. So then the other
31:19
thing is that robbing the galbank
31:21
ships is really kind of a
31:23
waste of time. I mean, you
31:26
can. you can get as many
31:28
credits robbing any ship. And so
31:30
I downloaded a mod that put
31:32
the the about the Galbank credit
31:34
tanks inside the bank inside the
31:37
bank inside the ship. So now
31:39
there's about a hundred thousand. Oh
31:41
yeah, because those credit tanks are
31:43
much more valuable. Like before I
31:45
agree, it's like robbing, robbing a
31:48
brinks truck or robbing an ice
31:50
cream truck. Not like that much
31:52
difference. Like you know, like no.
31:54
Petty catch. Yeah, so those two
31:57
mods made the pirate life much
31:59
more enjoyable. You
32:02
know, oftentimes if I'm playing, if
32:04
I'm playing, if I'm playing, if
32:06
I'm playing, if I'm playing no
32:08
man, Sky, you know, where there's
32:10
a baby, James. You know, oftentimes
32:12
if I'm playing, so like if
32:14
I'm playing No Man Sky, you
32:16
know, where there's a lot of
32:19
time just kind of mosing around
32:21
not doing anything too intense, I'll
32:23
watch YouTube videos on the side.
32:25
And so I started watching a
32:27
series from a couple of years
32:29
ago. This guy was playing Silent
32:31
Hunter 3 on hardcore mode, which
32:33
is how I used to play
32:35
it. And watching him... No periscope
32:37
allowed. It was... Well, there's no...
32:39
There's no computer assist. Oh my
32:41
God. You do everything. You have
32:43
to calculate your oh god damn
32:45
trajectories and stuff. Holy shit. Oh
32:47
yeah. Yep. And so that just
32:49
with every video I watched, I
32:51
got a little closer to a
32:53
little closer to hitting the button
32:56
and playing Silent Hunter again. It's
32:58
just such a time consuming game.
33:00
Birdray. Yeah. I've got too many
33:02
other games to play Andrew. There's
33:04
still only so much time, you
33:06
know, you got to sleep sometimes.
33:08
Yeah, so it was, it was
33:10
good to be back out to
33:12
sea, so. And then, of course,
33:14
you know, I, I pay for
33:16
this stupid Xbox service so that
33:18
if we ever do anything together
33:20
in fall out 76, I can,
33:22
I'm able to. Well, what's like
33:24
use of that then, shall we?
33:26
So I I downloaded oblivion. Oh
33:28
on the Xbox the new the
33:30
new one? Yep Did you get
33:32
any game on the end of
33:35
your belt for that? Did I
33:37
what? Did you get any game
33:39
time on your belt for that?
33:41
Oh yeah. Did you get to
33:43
play some on your Xbox? I
33:45
knew you couldn't resist the remaster,
33:47
but are you playing it on
33:49
Xbox primarily then with the controller
33:51
or no? Okay, good. Oh, we
33:53
used the Xbox game pass on
33:55
PC, perfect. Oh, I, I, I
33:57
rang pretty hard on oblivion. Yeah.
33:59
Initially. And, you know, finally, we,
34:01
on dramatic, we did a, an
34:03
oblivion roundtable where we did the
34:05
deal than the, in the Dark
34:07
Brotherhood. I feel, is it more
34:09
like they did, Ray? I'm trying
34:12
to remember, did you, did you,
34:14
did you stick with it or?
34:16
I'd read, I'd read through the
34:18
whole thing. Because what I ended
34:20
up doing was, that one, I
34:22
actually played on the Xbox. I
34:24
was so crappy with the controller
34:26
that it didn't matter how crappy
34:28
the game was. So I couldn't
34:30
stand it on PC, but with
34:32
a controller, I was so frustrated
34:34
by the fact that I could
34:36
control anything with the controller that
34:38
I forgot how slow and sluggish
34:40
the game was. I don't expect
34:42
this to work well anyway, so
34:44
it's fine. Where's when you got
34:46
a mouse, you're swinging a sword,
34:48
you expect to actually connect? Yeah.
34:51
So now with the remakester, it
34:53
is just glorious. Oh yeah? Yeah,
34:55
it plays quite well. Yeah. It
34:57
was a compelling game. I mean,
34:59
that's how I ended up sticking
35:01
with it through those two Westlines.
35:03
And admittedly, I went right back
35:05
there with this new character. Because
35:07
you know it was familiar and
35:09
you know and everything so I
35:11
still haven't done any of the
35:13
main storyline. But having fun the
35:15
next. Nonetheless, so I've got my
35:17
little sneaky Kajit Archer assassin, you
35:19
know, eventually I'll be a thief
35:21
too. So this is your first
35:23
character, your only character so far?
35:25
So far, yeah. And which direction
35:28
did you have first? Thieves Guild
35:30
stuff? So the first thing I
35:32
did was I started the Majes
35:34
Guild. Okay. Because I want to
35:36
be able to use illusion magic.
35:38
And that takes you everywhere too.
35:40
I'm in the Major's Guild class
35:42
getting the, getting the, getting the.
35:44
Yeah, you get to every city.
35:46
Recommendation from each city. Yeah, I
35:48
mean, that's an interesting way to
35:50
get around. It's kind of a
35:52
nice, kind of a nice goal,
35:54
like running the bases where you
35:56
go to a city and you
35:58
can just do the Major's Guild
36:00
Quest or when you're there, you
36:02
can explore, you can start doing
36:04
with. the Dark Brotherhood. So I
36:07
went into the yeskimadin in Brazil
36:09
and was going to kill the
36:11
woman in there that is a
36:13
non-essential character. Yeah, what's her name?
36:15
Like Alda or something? Nah, can't
36:17
be bothered with that. Okay, right.
36:19
Sorry. She's the only woman in
36:21
there. So she was easy to
36:23
spot. And so I killed her.
36:25
a guard came busting in and
36:27
arrested me. Criminal scum. I mean,
36:29
of course he got arrested. I'm
36:31
like, wait a minute. That's that
36:33
nobody's supposed to be watching. Yeah,
36:35
were you hidden? Like, was this
36:37
this hill? Yeah, mirrored. Okay. So
36:39
I reloaded and I was trying
36:41
to wait for her to get
36:44
in to a different position and
36:46
all that kind of stuff. So
36:48
there's a bed in there. So
36:50
I went in there. and slept
36:52
because I had a level up.
36:54
And when I woke up... the
36:56
chance was standing there. Oh. So
36:58
even after I had reloaded the
37:00
save that happened before that murder,
37:02
which caused me not to have
37:04
a bounty and not to get
37:06
arrested. It remembered that you had
37:08
done it. It remembered that I
37:10
did it. That doesn't usually happen
37:12
in my experience, but that's, there
37:14
you go, you tripped the flag,
37:16
apparently. Or maybe you killed another
37:18
innocent without realizing. No, because I
37:21
had slept, you know, before then
37:23
I was... I was doing a
37:25
lot of illusion grinding, casting my
37:27
light spell to try to get
37:29
my illusion up. So, yeah, I
37:31
definitely didn't kill anybody before then.
37:33
And then, so illusion, I showed
37:35
up and you had to do
37:37
the Peter Pan Quest. Did you
37:39
do that one yet? Well, you
37:41
kill Rufio. I'm sorry, Rufio is
37:43
a character from Hook. So, okay.
37:45
Sorry. Yeah. Yeah. So I took
37:47
care of that and got my.
37:49
Got my dark brotherhood outfit and
37:51
so my little cadet is super
37:53
sneaky and you know shooting everybody
37:55
with bows and arrows Sweet God,
37:57
it's been so much fun. It's
38:00
been so much fun. It's been
38:02
great. Thanks so much of the
38:04
community jumping into me. Obviously our
38:06
discord channel and Skyram and by
38:08
the way I named the Discord
38:10
Channel Skyram and Oblivion like five
38:12
years ago And it's finally appropriate.
38:14
Well, it's because of the roundtable.
38:16
I remember when you did that.
38:18
Yeah, exactly. It was when they
38:20
first did be moving roundtable. Yep.
38:22
Yeah. And so we're going to
38:24
record an episode next week. So
38:26
they'll definitely be more to come
38:28
on that. Did you run into
38:30
the... Sorry, go ahead. My heart
38:32
goes out to Michael, who has
38:34
not able to play till Saturday.
38:37
So by the time you hear
38:39
this, unless you're listening live, he
38:41
will have played, but he has
38:43
been dealing with all of us
38:45
chatting about it, talking about it,
38:47
most to everybody playing it, and
38:49
yet he has to wait till
38:51
he's home on Saturday to play.
38:53
So sorry, Michael. Yeah, so yeah,
38:55
so that's been a lot of
38:57
fun. Have you run into the
38:59
adoring fan yet? No, I haven't
39:01
done that one. Okay. Yeah, it
39:03
takes a while for a lot
39:05
of those. I mean, it's, living
39:07
is a big game. It's not
39:09
as big as Skyram in some
39:11
ways. I mean, we've got all
39:13
kinds of opinions and we'll talk
39:16
about a little bit more when
39:18
we get there, the remaster, and
39:20
I haven't played it yet, but
39:22
I mean, I love oblivion and
39:24
I'm often, like, do I do
39:26
I like Sky, like Skyri, like
39:28
Sky, like Sky, like Sky, like
39:30
Sky, like Sky, like, like, like,
39:32
like, like, like, like, like, like,
39:34
like, like, like, like, like, like,
39:36
like, like, like, like, like, like,
39:38
like, like, like, like, like, like,
39:40
like, like, like, like, like, like,
39:42
like, like, like, like, like, like,
39:44
like, like, like, like, like, like,
39:46
I believe it's a little bit
39:48
more quest and faction focus, crimes
39:50
a little bit more freedom of
39:53
exploration and radiant quest, stumble upon
39:55
things, but they're both awesome. I
39:57
can tell it's a very important
39:59
game in the series to a
40:01
lot of people, much like Fallout
40:03
3. It really pounds the nostalgia
40:05
button for a lot of people.
40:07
They played it back in the
40:09
day. I just, I don't have
40:11
that because I never played it
40:13
back in the day. So I
40:15
don't get that. That big nostalgia
40:17
button for it. So I'm not
40:19
I'm just like yay remake. I
40:21
mean, I don't really care I
40:23
do think you'll enjoy it when
40:25
you play it But I understand
40:27
if you're not in a rush
40:29
to because of that whole missing
40:32
nostalgia thing They say a lot
40:34
of their interviews this really set
40:36
the stage for the way they
40:38
design RPD is in a lot
40:40
of ways and I will tell
40:42
you one of the things they
40:44
focused on a lot was third
40:46
person So they did make it
40:48
a little bit better for someone
40:50
like you. Someone like me, what
40:52
do you mean? You know, goofy-footed.
40:54
People who run around and say,
40:56
I gotta say, we were pretty
40:58
damn prescient on this. We had
41:00
two big scores. The first one
41:02
was when the announcement came out
41:04
and said it was gonna be
41:06
tomorrow. Cracked me up that they,
41:09
like, yep, we knew it, every
41:11
time the day's gonna say tomorrow.
41:13
It's gonna say tomorrow. Yep. And
41:15
then you found the article where
41:17
they called it remake. Oh my
41:19
god, yes, okay. Shout out to
41:21
Fall Out for You Listeners, Friends,
41:23
everybody using the term Remakester on
41:25
Socials, actually major articles, Xbox Era,
41:27
and some places actually used Remakester
41:29
in like official reviews. Is it
41:31
traced back to you? Are you
41:33
the source of this? I'm not
41:35
saying I'm the only one who
41:37
came up with it, but we
41:39
were pushing it pretty hard. And
41:41
I think people using it and
41:43
putting it under major posts and
41:45
just all over socials. Maybe it
41:48
made a difference. I'm just I'm
41:50
proud because that's what it is.
41:52
It's the remakes there. We know
41:54
it. Oh, yeah. Even still see
41:56
people like, I don't know, is
41:58
it a remaster, but it could
42:00
be a remake. Like, guys, I
42:02
gave you the word and some
42:04
people are using it. So I
42:06
mean, it couldn't be more appropriate
42:08
because there's a lot of stuff
42:10
that's different, you know, but I
42:12
can say. That fin gleam is
42:14
still there at the bottom of
42:16
the ocean, not just over by
42:18
Enville. Oh, you found it. You
42:20
made it over there and you
42:22
dove for it. Oh, yeah. Yep.
42:25
Well, what's it? I drowned a
42:27
few times, but it's a helmet.
42:29
Oh, it's a helmet that gives
42:31
you under the boat or whatever.
42:33
It gives you water breathing and
42:35
night eye. You're a cajit. I
42:37
know, but I don't like to
42:39
have to cast the smell. Yeah,
42:41
plus, because you like fish, fin
42:43
gleam, and it's on brand. Fish.
42:45
But yeah, it's just got a
42:47
lot of good things about it.
42:49
I'm really enjoying one of seeing,
42:51
and some things were remade traditionally,
42:53
the definition of a remake. We
42:55
went over this before, Andrew, kind
42:57
of like, what the traditional definition
42:59
is, and there is people still,
43:01
they understand why but those to
43:04
call their remastert or remaster, because
43:06
it. Not only did they redo
43:08
every graphic, but they did adjust
43:10
a lot of things with fighting.
43:12
They did record a lot of
43:14
new dialogue. You know, they made
43:16
a good number of changes. Yeah.
43:18
dialogue is in there? Why do
43:20
they need extra? Because it was
43:22
a little bit limited. I mean,
43:24
you know, the joke about oblivion
43:26
has six voice actors for the
43:28
whole thing. Oh, right. Yeah. Well,
43:30
that's a teeny bit of an
43:32
exaggeration. It's not much of one.
43:34
And so they were doubling up
43:36
on dialogue for some of the
43:38
beast races, Kajit and ongoing and
43:41
stuff, like using same dialogue from
43:43
others and just modulatinging it slightly.
43:45
and the guards were previously were
43:47
pretty much all West Johnson like
43:49
100% and now there are a
43:51
couple other guard voices you must
43:53
still you know all West's stuff
43:55
isn't there so now it's only
43:57
95% right there's lots of you
43:59
know arrow to the knee type
44:01
stuff or I don't remember what
44:03
the Is my stump still there?
44:05
Is my stump still there? Your
44:07
stump is there. Yes! And I'm
44:09
using it. All right, I'm playing.
44:11
That's all there is. And there's
44:13
still, there's still an end to
44:15
say at on the north side
44:17
of the Imperial City. Like, you
44:20
go into Ail's wife, I think
44:22
it is. Ail's well. You do
44:24
a quick quest. You got a
44:26
nice place to stay free of
44:28
charge. But you join any guilt.
44:30
You got a place to stay
44:32
free for your charge. Yeah, suddenly
44:34
your character is a little bit
44:36
hairless. Oh, no, oh, that's Vicente,
44:38
he looks so different. Yeah, yeah,
44:40
there's a lot of them that
44:42
look quite a bit different, but
44:44
yeah, the emperor actually looks like
44:46
a real human being now. I
44:48
saw that, I saw that like,
44:50
there are some of the. changes
44:52
are a little hard to eat.
44:54
I mean, I'm not playing. What
44:57
can I say? But I've watched
44:59
some, of course. You know, some
45:01
of the eyes are a little
45:03
bit less realistic, their times. And
45:05
with the pictures I've seen of
45:07
the adoring fans speaking of, I'm
45:09
like, he looks a little bit
45:11
like more like Cupie doll that
45:13
he used to even. But that's
45:15
part of the fun. So, yeah.
45:17
I thought he looked like a
45:19
troll doll. It's a little bit...
45:21
Yeah a little bit creepy even
45:23
more than it used to be.
45:25
I can't wait to play some
45:27
extreme sliders with character creator, see
45:29
what? They're even more extreme monsters
45:31
I can make. Have you seen
45:34
some pictures of characters people have
45:36
been making, Andrew? No, I'm actually,
45:38
I just googled oblivion remake faces
45:40
and went onto the images tabs.
45:42
I'm just sort of looking at
45:44
what people are doing. They're comparing
45:46
a lot of the current to
45:48
the previous and... I will say
45:50
this, the potato faces do have
45:52
a certain charm to them. I
45:54
always made fun of them, of
45:56
course, because it's easy to make
45:58
fun of, but I still have...
46:00
I don't know if I like
46:02
the new redesigns anymore, honestly. Like,
46:04
sure, they look, aka, better, but...
46:06
I don't know. I do. A
46:08
lot of them look really great,
46:10
and the faces are still a
46:13
little bit creepy at times, which
46:15
is... still got that oblivion charm.
46:17
The smile is still a little
46:19
bit too big. The eyes are
46:21
still dead eyes. It's the eyes.
46:23
I'm not sure on some of
46:25
them that I've seen, but everything
46:27
else I'm loving graphically. And I
46:29
mean, the faces can't be, you
46:31
know, they can't be perfect. It's
46:33
got to have that oblivion, like,
46:35
that's a little wacky, a little
46:37
weird, you know? And the UI,
46:39
oh my gosh, the menus, the
46:41
way it's above, the way the
46:43
map is the map much. But
46:45
the old map was just tiny
46:47
in that little window. Like smaller
46:50
than a pit boy, you couldn't
46:52
even zoom in or out. You
46:54
had to like just kind of
46:56
scroll by moving the cursor, moving
46:58
the cursor over and over. And
47:00
now it's full screen like any
47:02
other game. You've got big menu
47:04
things top and bottom. There's a
47:06
lot going on. It's great. Oh,
47:08
the new trolls look neat. I
47:10
like that. I have really, really
47:12
like the menu and a lot
47:14
of the UI. Oh, you see
47:16
more on screen of time too,
47:18
so. Before looking at the list
47:20
of like items like your arm
47:22
or whatever you see like four
47:24
or five items and now you
47:26
can see like ten like it's
47:29
more. Yeah that is nice. Yep.
47:31
Sorry Ray. I know it's your
47:33
gameplay but you were wrapping with
47:35
oblivion so I thought you could
47:37
talk about it a bit. Yep.
47:39
No that totally. And that's all
47:41
I did this week. All right,
47:43
well, I'll quit looking at oblivion
47:45
faces over here. They're kind of
47:47
fun. I don't know if I
47:49
can. So I don't know, I
47:51
just find lots of fun comparison
47:53
images. There, I have seen some,
47:55
I mean, the thing is a
47:57
lot of people doing their playthroughs.
47:59
They're just making some wacky characters.
48:01
Yeah, people have fun with this
48:03
character creator it looks like. Oh,
48:06
that's hilarious. Oh my god, here's
48:08
that handsome guy from Spongebob. Someone
48:10
made. Oh, this is hilarious. All
48:12
right, you guys, go on Google
48:14
and just have fun. You have
48:16
a request in Discord right now,
48:18
Andrew, to start your feedback. No,
48:20
I refuse. Start my feedback. I
48:22
mean, your gameplay. I don't have
48:24
any. They're asking, they want an
48:26
update on Rara. Oh, okay. Rara
48:28
Rara update is I did not
48:30
play any 76 this week. There
48:32
you go. Are you kidding? You
48:34
and Rara are still stuck in...
48:36
Yeah I tried like two more
48:38
times to do that and she
48:40
like kept getting stuck so I
48:42
just quit and I got frustrated
48:45
and was looking around on I
48:47
am part of the like the
48:49
base base base game past thing
48:51
where you don't get a bunch
48:53
of games you don't get like
48:55
three games every once on it
48:57
but there's yeah 30 but yeah
48:59
it's not much the so I
49:01
was downloading a couple of games
49:03
and I stumbled upon one that
49:05
I actually had lots of fun
49:07
with this week for a few
49:09
days it's called monster sanctuary I
49:11
was gonna you, Jess, since you're
49:13
like a Pokemon Officinado, have you
49:15
heard of this game or played
49:17
this? And is it a Pokemon
49:19
ripoff? Because I don't, I have
49:22
never played the Pokemon game, so
49:24
I don't really know, but it
49:26
seems like it's probably stealing lots
49:28
of stuff from that world, I
49:30
think. I heard of it, because
49:32
I've, it's been on lists of
49:34
games coming out, non-fancy critic. There
49:36
were a lot of games starting
49:38
with Monster recently, but I have
49:40
not played it. Yeah. scrolling game?
49:42
My wife walked in and thought
49:44
I was playing Zelda 2. Like,
49:46
has that sort of side scroll
49:48
aspect to it. It looks very
49:50
similar to that. And it looks
49:52
like it's a game built for
49:54
like either very early Nintendo, Super
49:56
Nintendo, or late era NES. Like
49:58
it has those style of graphics.
50:01
and lots of side scroll jumping,
50:03
but you like have these monster
50:05
battles and you train up your
50:07
monsters and give them stats and
50:09
weapons and there's, there got Earth
50:11
and fire and wind and water.
50:13
That's incredibly Pokemon. Yeah, I assumed
50:15
it was. I can see the
50:17
Links Adventure comparison there on that.
50:19
Yeah, to Tori twice she asked
50:21
me if I was playing links.
50:23
Are you playing Zelda too? Like
50:25
no, honey. And then she asked
50:27
me again later at the weekend.
50:29
I was like, no, still not.
50:31
Oh, oh, I just looked it
50:33
up, read it, two years ago.
50:35
Monster Sanctuary is honestly better than
50:38
Pokemon. I know this sounds controversial,
50:40
but this game is unique and
50:42
underrated compared to Pokemon. Wow, people
50:44
like it. Yeah, no, I'm having
50:46
a really good time with it.
50:48
And it's actually made me want
50:50
to explore Pokemon more. So I
50:52
have my 3DS. I've been looking
50:54
up... You know, to see if
50:56
I could find some copies of
50:58
older Pokemon games or something. And
51:00
then I run into that old
51:02
chestnut, that old chestnut, trying to
51:04
find fucking old games on Nintendo.
51:06
They don't get, you don't get
51:08
used games for Nintendo, you get
51:10
fucking collectors items, right? So my
51:12
god damn. You have to take
51:14
your buddy Jerry or somebody who's
51:17
like a collector and has had
51:19
a deal on eBay that gave
51:21
you a good deal on it.
51:23
People are like, oh, you want
51:25
this used Pokemon game, $72 game,
51:27
$72. For a used Pokemon, are
51:29
you kidding me? Go fuck yourself.
51:31
On the newer stuff, some of
51:33
it, you know, you can downloadable.
51:35
But I, on the DS, that's
51:37
not going to happen. Are you
51:39
on a 3DS? 3DS, yeah, it
51:41
does have internet access. I'll have
51:43
to see if I can figure
51:45
that out. Oh, by a digital
51:47
version. I didn't even think of
51:49
that. Yes. Our gold and soul
51:51
silver. I mean, yeah. Nintendo's finally
51:54
going more and more digital. Speaking
51:56
of which, the switch two pre-orders
51:58
opened today. Sorry oh no really
52:00
I thought there were a couple
52:02
days ago everything I was looking
52:04
for was said sold out sold
52:06
out not available sold out sold
52:08
out so I was like oh
52:10
fuck I'm sorry I said yeah
52:12
it was yesterday right Thursday the
52:14
24th I forgot what day it
52:16
was a day it was a
52:18
day it was 25th was it
52:20
yes I thought it was earlier
52:22
in the week yeah I think
52:24
I missed out anyway there I
52:26
think they got snatched up in
52:28
like two seconds solely or did
52:30
you get yourself switch to son
52:33
on pre-order The pre-order yeah most
52:35
of them come out like June
52:37
or something so he says I
52:39
wish yeah, but what have you
52:41
what have you been playing so
52:43
monster sanctuary? Yeah, it's about it
52:45
and just you know a little
52:47
shelter just checking in on my
52:49
vault I started a couple months
52:51
ago now just I developed a
52:53
I call it the pale system
52:55
now where because I was looking
52:57
up What is actually worth training
52:59
for and like building teams to
53:01
go out adventuring and it turns
53:03
out the the special attributes do
53:05
different things whether you're in the
53:07
vault or out of the vault
53:10
and a lot of the things
53:12
That you trained for that you
53:14
think are important while you're in
53:16
the vault namely strength perception and
53:18
agility for your you know your
53:20
food your water and your power
53:22
those things aren't nearly as important
53:24
outside of the vault so you
53:26
have to like it's the Actually,
53:28
the perception and agility still are,
53:30
but like you would think strength
53:32
would, it's like inside the vault,
53:34
you get like a defense buff
53:36
or something or your weapon does
53:38
more damage or something. Hey, cat,
53:40
knock it off. He's knocking things
53:42
off the table over there with
53:44
a little jerk. But, so I
53:47
was just looking up. because I
53:49
was like just wondering how to
53:51
be more efficient and the training
53:53
and what actually needs to happen
53:55
and I wanted to build up
53:57
a few fun adventuring teams and
53:59
it turns out that P-A-L-E, it's
54:01
like I spelled out the word
54:03
pale for some so I'm gonna
54:05
have my pale crew, all these
54:07
people with pasty white skin running
54:09
around who trained in perception because
54:11
that gives you, it slows down
54:13
your meter for. What is that
54:15
called? That meter that, it's like
54:17
your crits or whatever. You know
54:19
what I mean? You have to,
54:21
the meter like, goes in and
54:23
out, in and out, and you
54:26
have to stop it? I don't
54:28
even know what they call that.
54:30
But when you're out in adventures,
54:32
you have to do that that
54:34
crit damage thing. And the agility
54:36
makes you a tack, evidently gives
54:38
you more. chance at criticals to
54:40
happen and endurance gives you more
54:42
hit points evidently the strength intelligence
54:44
and charisma don't do anything when
54:46
you're out and about which I
54:48
was kind of puzzled by but
54:50
okay that's not completely true because
54:52
when you're out and about you
54:54
don't want to be sick yeah
54:56
exactly but that's okay so there's
54:58
a difference between out and about
55:00
and sending on a quest because
55:03
you're just saying them out to
55:05
explore Having, what was it, charisma
55:07
is actually good because you run
55:09
into more people or you get
55:11
more beneficial interactions with random interactions
55:13
out in the way saying, you
55:15
know, there's like that weird log
55:17
that just says, oh look, a
55:19
radroach, I better run the other
55:21
way, or like, oh yeah, I
55:23
found water, and yay, oh look,
55:25
there's a mean dog over there,
55:27
better avoid him. It's just this
55:29
log of like an inner monologue
55:31
of your characters to running around
55:33
which I've always thought was really
55:35
funny But yeah, so that's that's
55:37
pretty much what I'm getting into
55:39
just messing around with this setting
55:42
up my pale crew learning the
55:44
the really itty bitty details which
55:46
specials affect what attributes inside and
55:48
outside of the vault and outside
55:50
doing quests versus outside just normal
55:52
Wondering randomly so I've been digging
55:54
into that a little bit, but
55:56
mainly it was mainly monster sanctuary
55:58
and I just kind of took
56:00
more of a break and sat
56:02
back this week. I'm trying not
56:04
to with my recent like a
56:06
carpal tunnel diagnosis. I'm not I
56:08
was just trying to take it
56:10
a little easier this week and
56:12
you know what I wore this
56:14
this brace all week and if
56:16
anything I feel worse I played
56:19
for it really I've played fewer
56:21
games and I wore this brace
56:23
all week and if anything I'm
56:25
more sore it's weird. Does it
56:27
get more sore at work or
56:29
when gaming or any time of
56:31
day in particular? It seems to
56:33
be positional by how I my
56:35
body is sitting my arm will
56:37
either go numb or be painful
56:39
or something. Does it like evidently
56:41
I'm pinching a nerve somewhere. Well
56:43
at least Rara is waiting for
56:45
a good cause. Well, fuck Rara
56:47
off to get through the god
56:49
damn venting system. Maybe we could
56:51
get through this. Tell her to
56:53
hurry up. I was just like
56:55
standing sitting there waiting on her
56:58
like her. Am I supposed to
57:00
be doing something? I thought she
57:02
was supposed to go through the
57:04
vent and open the door from
57:06
the other side. She just sitting
57:08
there in the vent not doing
57:10
anything. Let go. Yeah, sometimes you
57:12
gotta do certain things to trigger,
57:14
but I mean, can we jump
57:16
in with you and help you
57:18
do it? I don't even remember.
57:20
Probably you can join leader, I
57:22
bet it's one of those instances,
57:24
I bet. That would be cool.
57:26
Yeah, we do need to come
57:28
up with something to do. So
57:30
everybody can stand around and wait
57:32
for Rara. So we can, at
57:35
least you have a company. We
57:37
can root her on. Oh, right.
57:39
Yeah, so that's my gameplay. Didn't
57:41
get into a whole lot this
57:43
week, but had fun with Monster
57:45
Sanctuary of people. If you're just
57:47
looking for a fun little game,
57:49
the tink around with for a
57:51
few hours, it really is. I
57:53
don't know if it'll be something
57:55
I play for a long time
57:57
and get very involved in it,
57:59
but it seems like if I
58:01
wanted to, it could be a
58:03
pretty good, a long game. to
58:05
play. But I recommend it if
58:07
you're into those sort of retro
58:09
fantasy sort of fighting games stats
58:11
etc. Pokemon oriented but still lots
58:14
of fantasy stuff involved with it
58:16
too. All right let's pull up
58:18
my show note see what we
58:20
got. Oh oh you guys I
58:22
think it is game time. I'm
58:24
very intrigued what do we got?
58:26
That it is. So we've got
58:28
a couple games coming up. I
58:30
just want to quickly, since we
58:32
haven't had a whole lot of
58:34
fallout besides me doing my weeklies,
58:36
I forget to do a quick
58:38
scoreboard check in with the people
58:40
listening right now. So I am
58:42
at rank 63 on the scoreboard.
58:44
I'm getting there. I did some
58:46
weeklies this week. I was in
58:48
mid 50s last. I'm getting there.
58:51
Angel is at rank 79. So
58:53
she is ahead of me by
58:55
a good ways. Looks like Lee.
58:57
Solior is 100 on PlayStation and
58:59
105 on Xbox. Rando is 105
59:01
on Xbox, so these guys are,
59:03
they're done. They're done. They're coasting.
59:05
Well, no, you got to get
59:07
the extra stuff now to level
59:09
150. We were talking about that.
59:11
Rando was actually playing Starfield, which,
59:13
excellent first time. Other people, China,
59:15
the games. Do you really need,
59:17
oh, Strata Blaster is at 128.
59:19
But the question is, do you
59:21
really need to do the bonus
59:23
levels? Like, do you need that
59:25
extra? Like, I really feel like
59:27
the first bonus at 100 is
59:30
all you need. The repeatables at
59:32
150. I mean, there are atoms
59:34
on there. That's cool. But I
59:36
don't care. It's a lot of
59:38
work. Getting 50 more levels just
59:40
you'll get like... You're getting like
59:42
what, rataway and lunchboxes. Lunchboxes are
59:44
great. I do love lunchboxes. Scrap
59:46
hits, stuff like that. Scrap hits.
59:48
Score boosters? You getting any of
59:50
those because I like score boosters?
59:52
You don't need score boosters when
59:54
you're already at 150 Andrew? Yeah,
59:56
but for next season they don't
59:58
roll over or anything like that.
1:00:00
Nope. They don't score boosters to
1:00:02
fuck that. Yeah, oh you get
1:00:04
hurt card packs. That's a good
1:00:07
point. Yeah, I mean, but at
1:00:09
a 150, are you needing lots
1:00:11
of perk card packs? You probably
1:00:13
have most of the stuff you
1:00:15
want by now, right? Or a
1:00:17
150, you still collect and you're
1:00:19
building your character. Well, remember, you
1:00:21
can scrap them for those points,
1:00:23
right? Yeah. Scrap them for those
1:00:25
points, right? Right. Okay. Yeah, for
1:00:27
alt, too. That makes sense. So
1:00:29
start a buster mentioning, you can
1:00:31
claim them for alt. Which is
1:00:33
smart, because whatever character, because whatever
1:00:35
character you have you have you
1:00:37
have you have, because you have,
1:00:39
because whatever character you have, Same
1:00:41
with the scrap kids or make
1:00:43
sure you have the character active
1:00:46
that you want to give them
1:00:48
to when you redeem something. Oh,
1:00:50
right. Yeah, smart. That's wicket smart.
1:00:52
Well, anyway, that is our check-in.
1:00:54
That's why we're probably halfway through
1:00:56
the season. I expect next season
1:00:58
to happen early June, maybe mid-June,
1:01:00
you know, but we've got all
1:01:02
of May ahead of us. And
1:01:04
I just forgot to do a
1:01:06
quick check-in with people. Get a
1:01:08
little, get a little fallout action
1:01:10
happening happening happening. for the great
1:01:12
new game show Mountain Dew or
1:01:14
Mountain Don't. So I just kind
1:01:16
of come up with this. I
1:01:18
don't have, I don't have a
1:01:20
good feeling trick and Mountain Dew.
1:01:23
So I just kind of come
1:01:25
up with this. I don't have,
1:01:27
I don't have a good epic
1:01:29
voice program for this. I'm sorry,
1:01:31
I just got the intercom. So
1:01:33
I want to then to do
1:01:35
that. Okay, Mountain Dew or Mountain
1:01:37
Don. Here are the rules. And
1:01:39
I just made up the game
1:01:41
before the game before the show,
1:01:43
but I'm pretty excited about this
1:01:45
one. into the world of soda.
1:01:47
There is of course always the
1:01:49
original, the official flavor, the one
1:01:51
you want. Like in Fallout, you've
1:01:53
got VIM, okay? But then you've
1:01:55
got these knockoff brands like Nukkola.
1:01:57
No. But you've got real brands
1:02:00
and you've got fake ones. So
1:02:02
you know, for Dr. Pepper, you've
1:02:04
got Mr. Pib. Okay, you've got
1:02:06
things like that. So what I'm
1:02:08
gonna do, Mountain Dew is not,
1:02:10
doesn't have as many varieties as
1:02:12
Dr. is a pretty popular soda
1:02:14
to copy. Happens to me my
1:02:16
favorite, at least Diet Mountain Dew.
1:02:18
And there are some pretty creative
1:02:20
naming conventions out there for re-
1:02:22
Mountain Dew, knockoff flavors. But, but
1:02:24
in this challenge I have added
1:02:26
some fake knockoff Mountain Dew flavors
1:02:28
too. So we are going to
1:02:30
go, do you want to go
1:02:32
back and forth and you need
1:02:34
to tell me if the flavor
1:02:36
I give you is a real
1:02:39
Mountain Dew or fake Mountain Don't?
1:02:41
You got it? You got the
1:02:43
idea of this right here? I
1:02:45
believe so. Okay. I just got
1:02:47
to say, should I let you
1:02:49
guys buzz in? Now I think
1:02:51
bounce back and forth a word,
1:02:53
right? Okay, yeah, we'll bounce back
1:02:55
and forth. That makes sense. So
1:02:57
we're going to start with Ray.
1:02:59
Ray? Green lightning. Real or fake?
1:03:01
Fake. Sorry. Green lightning is a
1:03:03
real flavor. By what company? I
1:03:05
don't have all that information front
1:03:07
of me. I put the game
1:03:09
together real quick. I know most
1:03:11
of these, but I do not
1:03:13
know all of them. Do you
1:03:16
remember the, wait, I'm not gonna
1:03:18
say, can I, I might, I
1:03:20
might burn one of your, yeah,
1:03:22
never mind. No, go on, go
1:03:24
on. No, it might be, it
1:03:26
might be a clue later, so
1:03:28
I don't want to burn it,
1:03:30
if it is. Okay, well, next
1:03:32
up, Andrew, Andrew, Andrew, we are
1:03:34
looking at voltage rush. Real or
1:03:36
fake, voltage rush. Man, that sounds
1:03:38
so extreme. Ugh, God, it just
1:03:40
makes me wanna, you know, shred
1:03:42
something. That is the sign of
1:03:44
a real Mountain Dew flavor, potentially.
1:03:46
A curl or a rail, perhaps?
1:03:48
Let's see. What was it, voltage?
1:03:50
What voltage rush? Now that sounds
1:03:52
too, yeah, that sounds too good,
1:03:55
but I don't want to pull
1:03:57
a ray and go fake and
1:03:59
have it be real. Yeah, let's
1:04:01
call that one real. We'll call
1:04:03
it real. We're going real? You
1:04:05
are? wrong. That was a Jessica
1:04:07
Plant. She's good at making up
1:04:09
extreme names. Mountain Dew voltage is
1:04:11
a real flavor. Mountain Dew voltage,
1:04:13
but voltage rush is fake. Okay,
1:04:15
moving on back to Ray. Ray,
1:04:17
next up on the list, we
1:04:19
have Moon mist. Moon mist. Is
1:04:21
that real or fake? That's fake.
1:04:24
I'm sorry Moon Miss is the
1:04:27
popular flavor of Mountain Dew by
1:04:29
fig. You got it. I like
1:04:31
that one. You seem that one.
1:04:33
I like Moon Miss too. I
1:04:35
mean it's cheap, but it comes
1:04:37
that round bottle. Yeah, Moon Miss
1:04:39
is great. Okay, back to you
1:04:41
Andrew, back to you Andrew. And
1:04:44
you're ready? Yeah, girl, let's go.
1:04:46
Monsoon Dew. Monsoon Dew. Real or
1:04:48
fake? That's gotta be fake. Come
1:04:50
on. What?
1:04:52
Popular in India, monsoon dew
1:04:54
is a real flavor. That's
1:04:56
hilarious. Another one I don't
1:04:58
have on here is Tums
1:05:00
dew. Tums dew is a
1:05:02
real flavor. Do my belly.
1:05:04
It sounds like an acid,
1:05:06
but also popular in India.
1:05:08
Okay. Have you got any
1:05:10
right yet? Have they got
1:05:12
any right? I don't think
1:05:14
we have. We're terrible. We're
1:05:16
good at getting them wrong.
1:05:18
Let's keep going. Ray, Ray,
1:05:20
back to you, back to
1:05:22
you. We're going with solar
1:05:24
blast. Solar Blast, real or
1:05:26
fake? I almost have to
1:05:28
keep up with the fake
1:05:30
just so. Law of averages?
1:05:32
Yeah. I gotta eventually get
1:05:34
one right, fake. Oh, sorry,
1:05:36
no. You are correct. Oh,
1:05:38
me of little faith. Solar
1:05:40
Blast, I made that puppy
1:05:42
up. I mean, you know,
1:05:44
you got the blast. The
1:05:46
blast is from Baja blast,
1:05:48
but the solar was just
1:05:50
an homage to... Starfield and
1:05:52
everything. Okay, good. We've got Ray
1:05:55
on the board now at
1:05:57
one point. Excellent Ray. Okay,
1:05:59
Andrew, back to you. Ready?
1:06:01
in topical names. Vault Soda.
1:06:03
Vault Soda. That's gotta be
1:06:05
fake, come on. Motherfucker! I'm
1:06:07
sorry Andrew. Vault was a
1:06:09
popular brand made by none
1:06:11
other than the Coca-Cola company. Vault?
1:06:13
Yeah, from about 2004 to
1:06:15
2012. They had vault. It
1:06:17
was based on some of
1:06:19
the flavor profile from Search.
1:06:21
They discontinued in 2003. It
1:06:23
came up with vault for...
1:06:25
Gosh, I like 70 years.
1:06:27
And it was labeled as
1:06:29
an energy drink with a citrus
1:06:32
rush. Oh gosh, so it's
1:06:34
still Ray on the board
1:06:36
with one Andrew with none,
1:06:38
but we'll get there. I've
1:06:40
got four left for you
1:06:42
guys. Okay, we're only doing
1:06:44
I think 10 total. I
1:06:46
have, so see how you do.
1:06:48
Mountain Dew or Mountain Don't
1:06:50
Ray. Next up is urge.
1:06:52
Is Urge a real Mountain
1:06:54
Dew knockoff or a fake
1:06:56
one? Fake. I'm so sorry
1:06:58
Ray. No, urge was actually
1:07:00
the progenitor to the better
1:07:02
known surge. Urge was first
1:07:04
launched by Coca-Cola in Norway and
1:07:07
Norwegian countries where it was
1:07:09
so popular they brought the
1:07:11
US and relabeled it as
1:07:13
surge. So, apology. Sorry Ray,
1:07:15
good try. Dumbest game ever.
1:07:17
Thank you guys for playing.
1:07:19
I love it. Okay. Next
1:07:21
up Andrew. Mountain Dew or
1:07:23
Mountain Don't. Thunder Missed. Oh, that's
1:07:25
got to be a real
1:07:27
fake one. You know, a
1:07:29
real, a real knockoff. That's
1:07:31
got to be real. Real
1:07:33
fake? Oh, oh, yes. A
1:07:35
real knockoff. Yes, yes, that's
1:07:37
a fantastic answer. You're so
1:07:39
wrong. So wrong. Thunder missed
1:07:41
I made up. Oh man, Mountain
1:07:44
Thunder, very popular. I believe
1:07:46
they sell it at Walmart,
1:07:48
I think, unless that's Mountain
1:07:50
Lightning. Mountain Lightning is Walmart.
1:07:52
Mountain Thunder, oh no, I
1:07:54
know what it is, Doctor
1:07:56
Thunder is the Doctor Thunder.
1:07:58
Doctor Thunder is the Doctor Pepper,
1:08:00
right? I got a little
1:08:02
trick myself. Okay, Ray, back
1:08:04
to you. Mighty Citrus Boost.
1:08:06
Mighty. I'm so sorry. Mighty
1:08:08
Citrus Boost is a real
1:08:10
soda. Mighty Citrus Boost is
1:08:12
real. Let me look that
1:08:14
one up. Where's that one
1:08:16
again? It's, yeah, it's by a
1:08:19
company called Mighty Rain. And
1:08:21
by the way I found
1:08:23
all these on the Soda
1:08:25
Lovers wiki. If you ever
1:08:27
wondered is there a wiki
1:08:29
for everything? The answer is
1:08:31
yes. Yes there is. And
1:08:33
RC Cola came up with
1:08:35
this one. Mighty Citrus Boost. Royal
1:08:37
Crown Cola. And finally Andrew
1:08:39
you've got the last one.
1:08:41
Is this real or is
1:08:43
it fake? Lightning rush. Andrew
1:08:45
on the board, that was
1:08:47
too strong, going out strong.
1:08:49
That was too good, right?
1:08:51
That was too like a true
1:08:54
real, had to be fake.
1:08:56
Too extreme. So coming together
1:08:58
with one point, we've got
1:09:00
Ray, and in the other
1:09:02
corner, with one point, we've
1:09:04
got Andrew. Nice. We're terrible.
1:09:06
Good job. Oh, fantastic. Exactly.
1:09:08
Good job y'all. So I
1:09:10
just posted it in the discord,
1:09:12
Jess. You can still get
1:09:14
a bottle of vault if
1:09:16
you want. Wow, you looked
1:09:18
it up? On eBay. Yeah,
1:09:20
do you recognize that label
1:09:22
now that you see it?
1:09:24
Yeah, I do. On eBay,
1:09:26
it's only $270 for carbonary
1:09:28
and no longer carbonated, but yet
1:09:31
still sealed a two-liter bottle
1:09:33
vault. Only $270. What a
1:09:35
steel? For no longer carbonated
1:09:37
old soda. That
1:09:41
was great. Lisa's the crowd goes
1:09:44
wild. I had to give him
1:09:46
that. Thank you Lee That was
1:09:48
a great game. Just thank you
1:09:51
for bringing that Did you want
1:09:53
to roll right into some scream?
1:09:55
Do you want to do a
1:09:58
scream at your phone now? You
1:10:00
know what? Let's do it. So
1:10:03
that last one was not technically
1:10:05
fallout themed. Although I drink a
1:10:07
lot of Mountain Dew while playing
1:10:10
fallout, so, and I think plenty
1:10:12
of other gamers do too. Yeah,
1:10:14
and we get Dorino's, we get
1:10:17
Dorino crumbs all over our bellies,
1:10:19
and we've got Cheeto fingers all
1:10:21
over the controllers, right? All the
1:10:24
stereotypes? You know, don't eat and
1:10:26
touch your controller without licking your
1:10:29
fingers for it. I mean, don't
1:10:31
eat! Don't eat and touch your
1:10:33
controller without licking your fingers. I
1:10:36
mean, don't eat anything rubbery on
1:10:38
the control. You eat the fucking
1:10:40
thumb pads or the shoulder button,
1:10:43
yeah, ish. T. They ran my
1:10:45
right. All right. Yeah. So I
1:10:48
don't care. Just we do a
1:10:50
scream if you want to roll
1:10:52
right? Yeah. Let's do. Let's do
1:10:55
a scream at your phone list.
1:10:57
Yeah. Okay, chat. We haven't done
1:10:59
a scream at your phone in
1:11:02
a while. And this is a
1:11:04
very fallout themed. In fact, I
1:11:07
quickly because I put this together
1:11:09
right before the show I looked
1:11:11
at old screamless. And this is
1:11:14
one of the first like 10
1:11:16
15. We did. Specifically. We're going
1:11:18
to go back and forth. Obviously
1:11:21
you guys get trying to think
1:11:23
about it like always. I know
1:11:26
it's been a while to be
1:11:28
played and I'm going to start
1:11:30
with Andrew this time. So there
1:11:33
are I believe 20 bobble heads.
1:11:35
And yeah, in 76. Going to
1:11:37
start with you Andrew. All right.
1:11:40
We'll go with strength. Strength is
1:11:42
correct and the first one on
1:11:45
my list. How did you know?
1:11:47
I assume you went by some
1:11:49
awesome word. We use a lot.
1:11:52
Ray luck is correct if you
1:11:54
got to start with the specials
1:11:56
that would make a lot of
1:11:59
sense probably yeah Andrew do endurance
1:12:01
did you just say endurance yes
1:12:04
I will go with endurance perfectly
1:12:06
that is correct Ray so that
1:12:08
means I would need to go
1:12:11
with intelligence Very intelligent choice. Good
1:12:13
one, Ray. No need to rush.
1:12:15
Andrew, back to you. Uh, there
1:12:18
will go charisma yet? No, we
1:12:20
haven't, but now we have. Beautiful
1:12:22
one. Perception. And perception, both of
1:12:25
you at three so far, six
1:12:27
down, you're doing great. Andrew, back
1:12:30
to you. I don't think we
1:12:32
did agility yet. I think that
1:12:34
wraps up the specials with agility,
1:12:37
right? Yeah, perfect. You did. That
1:12:39
is all the specials. Seven stats?
1:12:41
All right, Ray. We can do
1:12:44
this. We've got 13. Right, okay.
1:12:46
What you got, Ray? A sneak.
1:12:49
I was going to say fortune
1:12:51
finder, but it's not called fortune
1:12:53
finder. What is that? What is
1:12:56
the bobblehead called? Is it called
1:12:58
like caps or something? No cap.
1:13:00
You got that one right. Good
1:13:03
job Andrew. Is it caps? Is
1:13:05
that right? Okay. Maley. Maley is
1:13:08
correct. Good job Ray. You guys
1:13:10
are getting through this. You are
1:13:12
well over halfway now? I mean,
1:13:15
sorry, you've just passed halfway now?
1:13:17
Okay, let's see there's big guns.
1:13:19
Oh, yeah, sorry. I thought you
1:13:22
were thinking out loud. Big guns
1:13:24
is correct. You said, there's big
1:13:27
guns. I thought you were going
1:13:29
to start listing a bunch. No,
1:13:31
I'm not going to burn all
1:13:34
array's answers, too. Big guns is
1:13:36
correct. Stop in the dark. Small
1:13:38
guns. Very good. Is there a
1:13:41
small guns in 76? Oh. There
1:13:43
is. I'm just teasing you. Good
1:13:46
job, Ray. OK. Back to you
1:13:48
Andrew. There's probably, I don't remember
1:13:50
specifically, but there's probably an energy
1:13:53
weapons one. That is correct. Getting
1:13:55
random noises for being correct. There
1:13:57
you go. Good job Andrew. Okay,
1:14:00
back to you Ray. Unarmed. Unarmed
1:14:02
is all. So, correct. Perfect. Okay,
1:14:05
we are doing great here, you
1:14:07
guys. We're at seven points. Each,
1:14:09
that means 14 down, only six
1:14:12
to go. It's funny, I'm clicking
1:14:14
the soundboard, I'm marking on the
1:14:16
machine, and I'm writing down your
1:14:19
score, too. So, so I'm a
1:14:21
little slow. Host and scorekeeper. Next
1:14:23
up, Andrew, what if you got?
1:14:26
means what I want it to
1:14:28
mean. The one where it, let's
1:14:31
say you charge like fusion cores,
1:14:33
but it doesn't, oh repair, is
1:14:35
repair on there? Good one and
1:14:38
repair is on the list. That
1:14:40
does not, yeah, that does not
1:14:42
mean what you think it means.
1:14:45
Incadceivable, you can use in the
1:14:47
fourth. I don't think it means
1:14:50
what you think it means. No.
1:14:52
However in previous games it might
1:14:54
have. You know, that's what's kind
1:14:57
of funny there. Yes, yes, yes.
1:14:59
Yep, but in 76 it is
1:15:01
not me think it is. Okay,
1:15:04
back to you, Ray. We've got
1:15:06
one, two, three, four, five left.
1:15:09
Uh, uh, locksmith. Oh, good one.
1:15:11
Technically lock picking, but that is
1:15:13
more than good enough. Good one.
1:15:16
Excellent. So I'll do the counterpart.
1:15:18
Hacker. Hacker. Hacking? No. Is there
1:15:20
one? Is that science? Is that
1:15:23
science? So let me just say
1:15:25
you did say the correct word.
1:15:28
It's science makes you a better
1:15:30
hacker, right? Correct. Correct. Good job.
1:15:32
Okay. Awesome. Only how many to
1:15:35
go, three to go? I'm running
1:15:37
out here, Ray. I've only got,
1:15:39
I think, one more on my
1:15:42
list. What do you got, Ray?
1:15:44
You're getting a little harder for
1:15:47
sure. Well, what are all the
1:15:49
skills? Did we do explosives? Nope,
1:15:51
you got it right. Explosives, good
1:15:54
job. That's a good one. All
1:15:56
right, then we'll get all the
1:15:58
skills yet. There's more skills. What
1:16:01
about... There are two left, one
1:16:03
of them is skill-based and one
1:16:06
of them is... Barter, barter. Did
1:16:08
we say barter? Is there a
1:16:10
barter one in 76? Oh, are
1:16:13
you kidding me? God... This is
1:16:15
scream. Getting wrong, isn't it? Getting
1:16:17
wrong, isn't it silly out? You're
1:16:20
allowed to think for a little
1:16:22
bit. I mean, I haven't alternate
1:16:24
one, but I thought if I've
1:16:27
said the wrong one, that sucks.
1:16:29
But I've said the wrong one
1:16:32
more on my list, that sucks.
1:16:34
Leader is correct. Okay, good job
1:16:36
Andrew. You're still in the game.
1:16:39
I don't think we play that
1:16:41
you're out when if you say
1:16:43
the wrong thing I mean unless
1:16:46
you're completely confident final answer usually
1:16:48
we just let you think for
1:16:51
a little bit unless you're out.
1:16:53
Okay, and Ray can you get
1:16:55
the very final one? One left
1:16:58
for a perfect screamless if you
1:17:00
get it. No pressure So do
1:17:02
we do big guns, little guns,
1:17:05
explosives, energy weapons, melee? Is there
1:17:07
one-handed, two-handed? They didn't do that,
1:17:10
because there's not that sort of
1:17:12
thing, is there? Yes there is.
1:17:14
Is there one-handed, two-handed? They wouldn't
1:17:17
do that. It's just melee, right?
1:17:19
Hmm. What could it be? It
1:17:21
is skill-one of sorts. All right,
1:17:24
so sneak. Barter, no barter. Did
1:17:26
we do medicine? There you go.
1:17:29
Good job. Final one, Ray with
1:17:31
the finish. Add a boy. You
1:17:33
guys finished really strong. Mike drop.
1:17:36
That was great. Good one. That
1:17:38
was also fun. Super duper fun
1:17:40
version of game time this week.
1:17:43
Thanks Jess. It was game time.
1:17:45
But now we get to... Switch
1:17:48
direction just a little bit and
1:17:50
roll into our iguana bits for
1:17:52
the week. Looks like we've got
1:17:55
plenty of good news stuff, little
1:17:57
topics popping up. Still lots of
1:17:59
stuff happening in the fallout universe.
1:18:02
all the time, especially since we
1:18:04
have like the new TV show
1:18:07
out and all that. One thing
1:18:09
I did want to complain about
1:18:11
with the new, I know everyone's
1:18:14
excited about the remakester. At
1:18:16
the same time I still feel like
1:18:18
where I okay this is just better
1:18:20
old man Andrew over here who bought
1:18:22
14 versions of Skyrim and I'm just
1:18:25
thinking this is just yet another way
1:18:27
for them to not have to be
1:18:29
putting out Skyrim too. If they're working
1:18:31
out of this shit, they're just not
1:18:33
doing the shit we want them to
1:18:35
be. Like, come on, man, put out
1:18:38
Fuckin' Skyram 2, put out Fallout 5,
1:18:40
like giving me 12 versions of the
1:18:42
same god damn games, please. No, this
1:18:44
is Skyram 2. Skyram 2 colon Oblivion
1:18:46
3. And do you know what's awesome?
1:18:48
You can get everybody's favorite beloved Starfield
1:18:50
character, the adoring fan in it, too.
1:18:53
It is a little incestuous when you
1:18:55
stop and make me bite it that
1:18:57
way, but you know. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
1:18:59
It's, I mean, keep in mind, it
1:19:01
was really great seeing the reveal for
1:19:03
this. One of the things about the
1:19:05
remakester that I thought was cool is
1:19:08
that a lot of the team that
1:19:10
worked on Oblivion are still at the
1:19:12
studio. So they were able to come
1:19:14
back and consult on it, work on
1:19:16
it, work on it. When they did
1:19:18
the reveal stream, you heard some people
1:19:20
who worked on the people who worked
1:19:23
on the original and there, and there
1:19:25
were some people who worked on the
1:19:27
work on the original, and there, and
1:19:29
there was a team at Bethesda, but
1:19:31
worked on Bethesda Game Studios, but those
1:19:33
game studios, the game studios, the game
1:19:36
studios, the game studios, the game studios,
1:19:38
the game studios, the game studios, the
1:19:40
game studios, the game studios, the, the,
1:19:42
the, the, the game studios, the, the,
1:19:44
the, the, the, the, the, the, the,
1:19:46
the, and then the team at virtuous
1:19:48
doing most the work on the recruiting
1:19:51
of objects and all the visuals and
1:19:53
that virtuous from what you know we
1:19:55
can tell did the bulk of the
1:19:57
work and some of the people at
1:19:59
Bethesda helped direct it produce it make
1:20:01
some tweaks on the engine and stuff
1:20:03
like that yeah but they were involved
1:20:06
but of course it's not taking them
1:20:08
away from Elder Scroll 6 they've got
1:20:10
a team on Starfield it's not taking
1:20:12
them away from Elder Scroll 6 we've
1:20:14
got a team focused on Starfield support
1:20:16
and the next expansion We've got probably
1:20:18
other secret products happening that we don't
1:20:21
know about. None of us know about.
1:20:23
We've got Elders Girl 6 working hard
1:20:25
and then, you know, the remakes. was
1:20:27
a fun thing. But Jonah Lobe had
1:20:29
a cute little clip. Oh, what he
1:20:31
said about it. He was saying how
1:20:34
much he enjoyed that that the game
1:20:36
was out and that he had begged
1:20:38
to get an asset into the game
1:20:40
because he started, I guess, like, right
1:20:42
after oblivion. And so when they did
1:20:44
the remake, he was like. I'll just
1:20:46
let me do a spoon. I don't
1:20:49
care. And Todd said no. No, but
1:20:51
he did get he does have stuff
1:20:53
and there he makes there. He has
1:20:55
a bunch because he got to work
1:20:57
a little bit. He was in he
1:20:59
worked on Shivering Isles, right? He did
1:21:01
a lot of the art Shivering Isles.
1:21:04
And I think he actually made the
1:21:06
the gate to the Big Shiegoros. Yeah,
1:21:08
which is awesome. And I don't know
1:21:10
if you didn't think for Night to
1:21:12
the Nine. That was that was a
1:21:14
little bit of different deal. But Shivering
1:21:17
Isles was so big. I'm sure they
1:21:19
all got thrown on that, but that's
1:21:21
really cool. The journal looked at that.
1:21:23
Yeah, yeah, I think he might have
1:21:25
started like the week before they released
1:21:27
the game originally. So, but no, they
1:21:29
wouldn't, they wouldn't let him put an
1:21:32
asset in. Gotta be hard when I
1:21:34
see your name and credits. You know,
1:21:36
no, you work here, but no, you
1:21:38
didn't work on the game yet, yet.
1:21:40
He, of course, he would have been
1:21:42
in the Game of the Game of
1:21:44
the Year edition. And the year edition.
1:21:47
Some of the current community managers, I
1:21:49
mean there were like I said people
1:21:51
episodes to game studios working on this
1:21:53
as well. So that's some of the
1:21:55
current community managers and everyone in there
1:21:57
and I mean a group effort but
1:21:59
Andrew you just talked about focusing on
1:22:02
Elder Scroll 6 and I assure you
1:22:04
it's not pulling them away from that.
1:22:06
Well and also the voice of the
1:22:08
annoying fan. Yeah well that the speaking
1:22:10
of annoying fan it also brings up
1:22:12
jerks like me who are like this
1:22:15
whole like It's just a frustrating thing
1:22:17
where George Lucas takes his beloved film
1:22:19
Star Wars and puts a bunch of
1:22:21
crap in it just because he can.
1:22:23
you know, just, oh look, I've got
1:22:25
new toys, so therefore I'm gonna re-release
1:22:27
my movie and put a bunch of
1:22:30
shit in here that wasn't really important,
1:22:32
it doesn't really matter. And so I'm
1:22:34
gonna think that there, not immediately, but
1:22:36
there will be an OG oblivion band
1:22:38
of people who are like, pff. Fuck
1:22:40
the remake. That's that's weak sauce. That's
1:22:42
so stupid. Look at all the crap.
1:22:45
Look at how shiny it is. Where's
1:22:47
my potato faces? Fuck that. You know
1:22:49
what I mean? Like there's gonna be
1:22:51
this purest who are like, oh no,
1:22:53
the O.G. Oblivion is way better this.
1:22:55
And that's that's cool. But it's just
1:22:57
gonna be like the Star Wars culture,
1:23:00
which is like split people between blob,
1:23:02
this, this this trilogy. further down the
1:23:04
iguanabits, but let's start with it. So
1:23:06
one thing that's great about the remakes
1:23:08
to release is that I think they
1:23:10
threaded that needle well. I think that
1:23:13
they stuck with a lot of stuff
1:23:15
to make the purists happy. Obviously not
1:23:17
the complete purists, but it has that
1:23:19
remaster flavor where they stuck with that
1:23:21
very well for those people. And yeah,
1:23:23
there will be people who objected, of
1:23:25
course, and there will be plenty people
1:23:28
who were stated more. I mean, oblivion
1:23:30
had two... Two of the biggest complaints
1:23:32
around oblivion. Number one was level and
1:23:34
loop scaling. Whereas as you level, the
1:23:36
enemy is level too quickly with you,
1:23:38
and they're not level locked or level
1:23:40
capped. And even more than that, the
1:23:43
loot scaling, in that the loot that's
1:23:45
there that they wear, that they use,
1:23:47
you get bandits wearing elbid armor, then
1:23:49
glass armor, you get bandits and obsidian,
1:23:51
daydric even, potentially, and there are creatures.
1:23:53
that won't ever appear if you level
1:23:55
up too high. So I got low
1:23:58
levels, certain creatures spawn, and next band,
1:24:00
other creatures spawn, and expand other creatures
1:24:02
spawn. So that was complaint number one.
1:24:04
Level and loot scaling was the biggest
1:24:06
complaint. And the second biggest complaint was
1:24:08
the leveling system. As in, if you
1:24:11
put your major skills that you really
1:24:13
wanted, you would level too fast. If
1:24:15
all your major skills were skills to
1:24:17
use most, you would level too fast.
1:24:19
And then the way that when you
1:24:21
actually hit that level point, the way
1:24:23
that you leveled up was whatever skills
1:24:26
you got all the most points in,
1:24:28
you'd get a multiplier for your stats.
1:24:30
Because unlike Skyram, oblivion still had stats,
1:24:32
your strength and your endurance and all
1:24:34
that classic stuff. So that they fixed.
1:24:36
They fixed the second part. Okay, they
1:24:38
fixed it. So now your major skills,
1:24:41
your minor skills, they all contributed to
1:24:43
leveling up. And when you level up,
1:24:45
you get, is it 11 points or
1:24:47
12 points, Ray? You've probably already leveled
1:24:49
it. I get 14. Okay, and that's
1:24:51
maybe based on the way you're set
1:24:54
up with your character. But you can
1:24:56
set number of points to put into
1:24:58
your attributes, regardless of what skills you
1:25:00
level up to get to the level
1:25:02
up point. So that is a huge
1:25:04
benefit there. That will keep people from
1:25:06
getting locked, because what used to happen?
1:25:09
Well, the people would level too quickly,
1:25:11
too quickly, against you and they're getting
1:25:13
better at combat. So you'd be level
1:25:15
20 and you're great at like sneaking
1:25:17
and making a little magic, but you
1:25:19
didn't have anything in the stuff to
1:25:21
help you fight and defend yourself. And
1:25:24
so people get very, very stuck. So
1:25:26
this fixed that problem. But the reason
1:25:28
why the problem was because of the
1:25:30
enemy level scaling and loop scaling. They
1:25:32
didn't fix that. So there's part of
1:25:34
me thinking about playing it on PC
1:25:36
rather than Xbox, which I've installed on
1:25:39
both Xbox. But on PC you can
1:25:41
mod that out and to me this
1:25:43
was the biggest number one problem with
1:25:45
oblivion and there are mods like ascension
1:25:47
and level caps and stuff like that
1:25:49
that that fixed that and I'm sure
1:25:52
they'll be porting them to to oblivion.
1:25:54
Ray do you have any moms at
1:25:56
all yet or no? No, I didn't.
1:25:58
Will Xbox have the capabilities of modding
1:26:00
at any point? Not likely. I mean
1:26:02
people people people are speculating because they've
1:26:04
gone so in on creations and such
1:26:07
but I really personally doubt it. It
1:26:09
wasn't part of the original and they're
1:26:11
trying to be faithful. the most part.
1:26:13
It doesn't make sense they would do
1:26:15
that on console, I don't think. Yeah,
1:26:17
I'm not sure how to mod the
1:26:19
game past games. Yeah, and that's the
1:26:22
other issue that steam is more, the
1:26:24
steam versions are more modible, such as
1:26:26
it is in a lot of cases,
1:26:28
but nexus is getting mods for the
1:26:30
remakes already. Yep. Yeah, they're coming fast
1:26:32
and curious because people are able to
1:26:34
port. They're finding like things can only
1:26:37
take a couple hours to port when
1:26:39
they look into a lot of a
1:26:41
lot of the mod authors authors authors.
1:26:43
So They're bringing over classics, they're starting
1:26:45
to new stuff. So that's really exciting.
1:26:47
So I mean, I'm hopeful for it.
1:26:50
But yeah, if you do plan PC,
1:26:52
there was one I used to use
1:26:54
called Ascension-level loot that I really liked,
1:26:56
but the last couple times I played
1:26:58
were on Xbox loop that I really
1:27:00
liked, but the last couple times I
1:27:02
played were on Xbox, but the last
1:27:05
couple times I played were on Xbox,
1:27:07
but the last couple times I played
1:27:09
were on Xbox, and like low-level wolves
1:27:11
and stuff like that, and not just
1:27:13
be like an ogre. And you said
1:27:15
that they comport some of the old
1:27:17
mods into the new. Like, I'm sorry,
1:27:20
they don't just live in the countryside.
1:27:22
That gets a little bit silly at
1:27:24
high levels in oblivion. But anyway, it
1:27:26
is out. There's 554 mods on Nexus
1:27:28
right now. That is amazing. And you
1:27:30
said that they comport some of the
1:27:32
old mods into the new. Can they?
1:27:35
somehow like just run it through a
1:27:37
thing where it like receives the new
1:27:39
improved graphics and enhance like how does
1:27:41
that work Jesus Christ people are brilliant
1:27:43
can't figure that out Ray you can
1:27:45
get back in the modding no come
1:27:48
on I need more flags especially not
1:27:50
for this right yeah well it's you
1:27:52
won't be able to mod well these
1:27:54
on Xbox So I'm looking at the
1:27:56
versions right now that came out. So
1:27:58
there are a couple ways you can
1:28:00
buy this. Of course, if you have
1:28:03
Game Pass, you can download it on
1:28:05
Xbox or PC. be a game pass
1:28:07
if you have Ultimate or game pass
1:28:09
PC of course as a separate option,
1:28:11
a separate thing. The base game is
1:28:13
$49.99 for the base game, so $50.
1:28:15
The deluxe edition, deluxe edition is $59
1:28:18
or $60. So I'm glad they're not
1:28:20
going full price on the game. At
1:28:22
this point, full price for most games
1:28:24
is 70. Nintendo is trying to tell
1:28:26
us is 80, but we're telling Nintendo
1:28:28
back that it's not. So full price
1:28:31
games are 70. And so releasing this
1:28:33
for 50, that's actually seemed like a
1:28:35
pretty good deal for an older game,
1:28:37
but with all the upgrades and all
1:28:39
the deals included and everything like that.
1:28:41
Did Alex edition, what includes extra? You
1:28:43
get a couple of new quests for
1:28:46
Akatosh and Mayron, for Akatosh armor, and
1:28:48
Mayron Dagon armor. There are some new
1:28:50
weapons and multiple horse armor sets. Not
1:28:52
just the O.G horse armor. I gotta
1:28:54
play horse armor. Yeah. Give your horse
1:28:56
the freshest the freshest drip. What's the
1:28:58
deluxe edition? Need that? You also get
1:29:01
the digital art book and soundtrack too.
1:29:03
So if you want to get a
1:29:05
copy of the soundtrack downloaded digital files,
1:29:07
that's the deluxe edition, $10 more. And
1:29:09
then finally. That's also available separately if
1:29:11
you just want to listen to the
1:29:13
music and look at the art book
1:29:16
too. You don't even have to buy
1:29:18
the game. I saw that. I was
1:29:20
like, I wonder who's going to buy
1:29:22
the art but not the game. That's
1:29:24
interesting that they provided that they provided
1:29:26
that. Yep, they're planning on, they're talking
1:29:29
about releasing a physical version of the
1:29:31
book, but you can also download it
1:29:33
separately, and you can get a $10
1:29:35
for just $10 if you have the
1:29:37
Game Pass version, and you can get
1:29:39
the digital deluxe upgrade, and that will
1:29:41
give you all the stuff with the
1:29:44
deluxe edition for $10 on top of
1:29:46
the base game. That's something we've been
1:29:48
doing with a lot of games. You
1:29:50
get it free for Game Pass, but
1:29:52
if you want, Not just the base
1:29:54
level, but the one where you could
1:29:56
actually play oblivion, that is $1 currently
1:29:59
to... sign up right now. I know
1:30:01
it's usually like 20 bucks a month
1:30:03
or something like that. But yeah, for
1:30:05
the ultimate. Yep, if you do in the
1:30:07
ultimate. It's only a buck right now. So sign
1:30:10
up if you want to go check out oblivion
1:30:12
for a free month. So oblivion remastered
1:30:14
is not in the core version that
1:30:17
you have Andrew. I'm surprised about
1:30:19
that. No, it's not. It should be.
1:30:21
Usually they put a lot of there. A lot
1:30:23
of their first-party games, it
1:30:25
will be eventually, I would
1:30:27
say. You think? I'm confident,
1:30:29
I'm confident that it will
1:30:31
be eventually. Okay. But in the
1:30:33
meantime, there is of course the
1:30:35
$15 in-between version, which is just
1:30:38
the console game pass as opposed
1:30:40
to Ultimate. Choices. Yeah, choices. Choices
1:30:42
to ultimate. Yeah, choices. Yeah, I
1:30:44
might do game pass for a month
1:30:46
and play it. She was like. So,
1:30:48
I'm just checking there a couple articles,
1:30:50
I think, in the intro. And then
1:30:52
some things to do first, how to
1:30:54
play. If you have any curious about
1:30:56
that, you can also go, the launch
1:30:58
video is up on YouTube. The initial
1:31:01
19-minute reveal, which was pretty
1:31:03
awesome if you didn't see it. The
1:31:05
19-minute reveal was pretty awesome if you
1:31:07
didn't see it. The 19-minute reveal
1:31:10
was well worth watching, like
1:31:12
people from Bethesda talking, people
1:31:14
from Virtuous talking, and shots to
1:31:16
the screen. But then there's that entire,
1:31:18
and going over the game and all
1:31:20
that. So that was really fun. That's
1:31:22
your remaster. Yay, everybody's
1:31:25
playing except for Andrew. I will,
1:31:27
I'll try, I'm sorry. I haven't
1:31:29
started yet either, so I can't
1:31:31
say a damn thing, let's be honest.
1:31:34
Big news in fall 76, Bethesda would
1:31:36
like to hear from you. So they
1:31:38
are considering bringing relaxed building restrictions
1:31:41
to adventure mode. For
1:31:43
the longest time since they
1:31:45
launched shelters and then custom
1:31:47
worlds, they have had it so that... You
1:31:49
can do relaxed building restrictions
1:31:52
in custom worlds larger larger
1:31:54
can't build area Place anywhere,
1:31:56
but then specifically the ability
1:31:59
to turn off collision so items
1:32:01
can collide or mess with each other where
1:32:03
you won't get as much this object
1:32:05
intersects another object you won't get that as
1:32:07
often and the ability to float so they have
1:32:09
a survey about it they want to know they
1:32:11
want to hear your thoughts you can just vote
1:32:14
simply yes I would like this no I wouldn't
1:32:16
you can put your thoughts and that's over
1:32:18
in the Bethesda net discord so Strata Blaster
1:32:20
if you have not voted yet and he
1:32:22
says no fix the menu first They're
1:32:24
working on that. They're working
1:32:27
on that strata blast, I
1:32:29
promise. I know they are.
1:32:31
But yeah, but I, there's
1:32:34
the option to vote for
1:32:36
build restrictions. And right
1:32:38
now, let me pull
1:32:40
it up. Last by check,
1:32:42
relaxed build restrictions are
1:32:45
about 93% in favor.
1:32:47
would prefer relaxed build
1:32:49
restrictions. I mean I assume
1:32:51
most people would I didn't
1:32:53
know 96% that's that's very
1:32:55
high but and then my
1:32:57
immediate question was going to be
1:32:59
what would be the drawback why why
1:33:01
would you not want to do this
1:33:04
like who wants it to be
1:33:06
more strict I mean besides they
1:33:08
they have other projects that
1:33:10
you should finish first like
1:33:12
yes organizing that damn menu
1:33:14
and stuff but well Some elitists, some
1:33:16
people are like, I know all the build
1:33:19
secrets and you don't, I don't want you
1:33:21
to build as well as I do with
1:33:23
my build secrets of my knowledge that I
1:33:25
hoard like a dragon. Yeah. That's some people.
1:33:27
Obviously not me, obviously not most of our
1:33:30
friends, but there's some people like that.
1:33:32
But more so, there's the question of
1:33:34
realism. So that's one of the worries
1:33:36
with this. One of the reasons why Bethesda
1:33:38
has a system in the first place is
1:33:40
to stop impossible build from happening
1:33:42
as easily. or at all as their plan,
1:33:44
but of course once we get to it as easily.
1:33:46
But most of it is just in the
1:33:48
way. Okay, most of the time it's just
1:33:50
a pain, it doesn't make sense, the intersecting
1:33:52
doesn't make sense, and that's why I want
1:33:54
to get rid of it. But my concern
1:33:56
is actually floating. I don't want to walk
1:33:59
in people's camps. random walls, random
1:34:01
roof pieces, just floating in the air.
1:34:03
I mean that, you can get why some people
1:34:05
find that really immersive braking.
1:34:07
They complain enough about some of our
1:34:09
fanciful builds already that are built to
1:34:12
corner the laws of physics. If you're
1:34:14
on a regular server, playing fallout
1:34:16
and you're like, oh my God, my immersions,
1:34:18
because you walk into a place and it's
1:34:21
like a big old MC Escher painting or
1:34:23
like a Salvador Dolly painting. This stuff
1:34:25
is floating everywhere. So I get that.
1:34:27
I actually, I can understand. not
1:34:29
allowing floating, but the rest of it,
1:34:31
please relax it. And honestly, just relax
1:34:34
floating to you and see how it
1:34:36
goes. You know, because people want
1:34:38
it. I trust that most players are
1:34:40
mature enough. Actually, I shouldn't say
1:34:43
that. Don't, don't know. I love
1:34:45
Fall of 76 community. I love most
1:34:47
of the players, but there are definitely
1:34:49
people are just going to be like,
1:34:51
throw it around and be like, heck with
1:34:53
it, I don't care. You remember? You remember,
1:34:55
I had a yard sale, junk pile.
1:34:58
trashyards style camp at least
1:35:00
all that was on the ground
1:35:02
right you let me you let me
1:35:05
float shit it's it's gonna be
1:35:07
chaos junk yards are realistic right
1:35:09
oh God yeah I mean it
1:35:12
could be I have done ridiculous
1:35:14
floating I was just say this
1:35:16
would be just a a junk yard
1:35:19
but in space where all
1:35:21
everything can float right there
1:35:23
we go so speaking of junk
1:35:25
yards I got to tell you about
1:35:27
this week's atomic shop offer. I haven't
1:35:29
talked about the atomic shop in a
1:35:31
while. I'm not saying it's trash, okay?
1:35:33
Your girl is not here saying, ooh,
1:35:35
the atomic shop is trash. What I
1:35:37
am saying is that there's a bundle
1:35:39
with the junkyard dog bundle,
1:35:42
just like you would get from Gene in
1:35:44
the fall of four. No way! Does Gene
1:35:46
come with a bundle? Gene does not
1:35:48
come with a bundle. But it's okay,
1:35:50
he'd be reluctant to say you. The
1:35:52
junkier God- Yeah, he got a twist
1:35:54
his god damn arm. He'd say, oh yeah,
1:35:57
please take it. And then, oh no, I
1:35:59
love it so much. Whereas the atomic
1:36:01
shop, you never need to twist its
1:36:03
arm. It is happy to take your
1:36:06
caps and sell you more. So.
1:36:08
So this is just a re-skin
1:36:10
of the dog that we got.
1:36:12
Essentially, yeah, in that style. Kind
1:36:14
of Rottweiler. A nice Rottweiler model,
1:36:17
really cute. Comes with a cool
1:36:19
junk yard dog, dog house, rusted
1:36:21
chain, a junk yard food bowl.
1:36:24
Rust a chain. That's the thing you
1:36:26
can build for him at the. The
1:36:28
armor, the armor bench. Yeah, exactly. Yeah,
1:36:30
chain from to where. And yeah,
1:36:33
it's a cute little bundle,
1:36:35
junkyard welder bundle. I'm not sure
1:36:37
what that is. But there are a
1:36:39
couple of things happening. So there are
1:36:41
a bunch of bundles available in
1:36:43
the shop right now. We don't
1:36:45
have any of the floral stuff.
1:36:48
People have been asking for the
1:36:50
flowers to come back. I have a
1:36:52
feeling it'll be coming next week when
1:36:54
we get the new event. We'll see.
1:36:56
And it's interesting. It's almost
1:36:59
like it's St. Patrick's
1:37:01
inspired, but not actually
1:37:03
a leprecon. So you can
1:37:05
wear it's got this kind of
1:37:07
cool looking green coat that I
1:37:10
really like. It's got a cool paint
1:37:12
for the fixer called the
1:37:14
Persuader. The Persuader paint that looks
1:37:17
pretty good. And yeah, the
1:37:19
Jag is really snazzy. So
1:37:21
I like that. You've also
1:37:23
got a new emote with it
1:37:25
called Fan the Hammer. I'm guessing,
1:37:27
I'm guessing that's going to be
1:37:29
like the hammer on the rifle,
1:37:31
like taking in kind of like
1:37:33
you're playing with the hammer, caulking it
1:37:35
back. Oh, I assumed it was going
1:37:37
to be a Thor thing, where you're
1:37:39
like, with a hammer in the sky
1:37:42
or something. Okay, so Lee says
1:37:44
the junk yard welder has a
1:37:46
cutting torch, that makes sense. And
1:37:48
Rando says the remote uses the
1:37:50
stick shooter. So you're fanning the
1:37:52
hammer on the stick shooter apparently.
1:37:55
Sounds cool. Can you imagine? Oh my
1:37:57
god, does it actually do something
1:37:59
now? So finally, I want to
1:38:01
mention we did get an update
1:38:03
on the 22nd. We got a
1:38:06
big follow-up 76 update as well.
1:38:08
It wasn't just the
1:38:10
remakester, but the update
1:38:12
itself was mostly fixes.
1:38:14
So let's go what was
1:38:16
in it. First of all, happening
1:38:18
right now is the Appalachian
1:38:20
Outlaws challenge event. Wait, no, it's
1:38:23
not a challenge event. It's a
1:38:25
mini-season. It's got to put on
1:38:27
the outfit. or craft the thing,
1:38:29
go out and do the challenges for
1:38:31
the day and get your points. But
1:38:33
now it shows up on the scoreboard. So
1:38:35
instead of having to log in for
1:38:37
five days to get everything done to
1:38:40
get the reward, you actually get tickets
1:38:42
when you complete the challenges on this.
1:38:44
And then you can go and you can
1:38:46
redeem them in what's called a mini
1:38:48
season right on the scoreboard. I'm hearing
1:38:51
a lot of complaints about it.
1:38:53
It was maybe unnecessary. But for
1:38:55
people like me who are not as
1:38:57
good at logging in five days a week
1:38:59
anymore, and maybe only a couple times,
1:39:01
it's perfect because I can take and
1:39:03
I can spend regular tickets to get
1:39:05
anything I want from the mini season,
1:39:07
and only log in and do the
1:39:09
challenge events two or three times if
1:39:11
I want. But if you do the
1:39:14
challenge events appropriately, you will get exactly enough
1:39:16
tickets to get all the rewards.
1:39:18
Some new currency again, more different
1:39:20
tickets this time. No, it's still the
1:39:22
same tickets. It's using all the same
1:39:24
season tickets. Just you've got a new
1:39:27
little board to spend them on, a
1:39:29
little mini season inside the regular
1:39:31
season. So, but we don't earn more
1:39:33
tickets. So now our tickets that we do earn
1:39:35
more tickets. We do earn more tickets. Oh,
1:39:37
okay. All right. If you do the special
1:39:40
mini season event. So really, it's essentially
1:39:42
still exactly the same challenge event.
1:39:44
It's just now instead of getting
1:39:46
automatically when you do it. you get tickets
1:39:49
that you can then spend on it which are on the
1:39:51
board. And if you don't want the stuff, you just get
1:39:53
extra tickets. So if you're not getting them any
1:39:55
season, you can get those extra tickets you earned
1:39:57
and put them towards the main stuff. And you're
1:39:59
saying... you don't have to log
1:40:01
in three days in a row
1:40:04
anymore to do it? Can I
1:40:06
do them all at once and
1:40:08
get it, knock it out or
1:40:10
whatever? Is it going to be
1:40:13
spread out? No, there will
1:40:15
still be some every day,
1:40:17
but you're not locked out
1:40:20
because you only logged in
1:40:22
three or four times as
1:40:24
far as I can tell. Okay. Yeah.
1:40:27
As far as I can tell.
1:40:29
Okay. A duffel bag full
1:40:31
of cash. That piggy bank
1:40:33
is adorable. Yeah, you can
1:40:35
see the backside of the
1:40:38
piggy bank. People love the
1:40:40
little curly tail. Does he
1:40:42
have a butt? Does he
1:40:45
have a little butt cheeks?
1:40:47
Got a little butt? Got a
1:40:49
cork in his butt? Yeah,
1:40:51
now some knotty folk, some people
1:40:53
who are maybe got their mind
1:40:56
in the gutter. No. looking like
1:40:58
a pair of boobies. I'm sorry,
1:41:01
it's true. Can you believe it?
1:41:03
Yes, actually I can believe it.
1:41:05
I take it back. I do trust
1:41:07
them to be immature. And there we
1:41:10
go. Perfect example of discord right
1:41:12
now. Oh, perfect. Yeah, take a look at
1:41:14
that Andrew. Do you see that picture?
1:41:16
Yeah, those are boobs. Look at that.
1:41:18
Come on. Cute little curly tail.
1:41:20
Can you look closely? It's curly
1:41:22
tail from a curly tail from a
1:41:24
distance? Oh my geez. like the vendor bought
1:41:26
so it looks like when you take your
1:41:29
pictures that it's got the the piggy boobs
1:41:31
that'd be great I'm here for keeping you
1:41:33
abreast of all the challenges abreast I
1:41:35
see what you're next up we've got the
1:41:37
big bloom event starting on Tuesday that's
1:41:39
gonna be the new event so to
1:41:41
go over what is actually happening with
1:41:43
it we talked about a little bit
1:41:45
but the character starts at Susan's
1:41:48
cabin and the character is black-eyed
1:41:50
Susan She loves flowers, floralangements, and a
1:41:52
pension for violence. So you have to
1:41:54
help her in her garden and defenter
1:41:56
garden from the overgrown. The overgrown are
1:41:58
the creatures that you get in. the kind of
1:42:01
the swamp creature, the plant creature you
1:42:03
get in Atlantic City. Oh, right. So
1:42:05
it's a rework of them for this event.
1:42:07
And it's really, it's just to
1:42:10
defend the, defend the objective event
1:42:12
long enough and you get prizes. But
1:42:14
there are gonna be prizes for it,
1:42:16
obviously rewards. Fun new event should
1:42:18
be good. So I haven't, I didn't
1:42:21
play it on the PTSD, but it's been
1:42:23
there for a while. People say it's
1:42:25
nice. It's a fun change of pace. But
1:42:27
it's not anything new per se. A good
1:42:29
100 little quality of life changes
1:42:31
in this update. It was a
1:42:34
pretty big one. If you've logged
1:42:36
in, you know, but this is
1:42:38
more for people who haven't logged
1:42:40
in. You haven't checked them
1:42:42
out yet. Mostly camp and
1:42:44
combat stuff. The hunting rifle,
1:42:46
if you like the hunting
1:42:48
rifle, it got a major damage boost.
1:42:51
So the hunting rifle, compared
1:42:53
to other rifles and such,
1:42:55
it's like the service rifle,
1:42:58
combat rifle. Obviously the fixer
1:43:00
and the handmade. The regular hunter's
1:43:02
rifle just wasn't great. And they've
1:43:04
gone skins for it. Supermutants use them.
1:43:06
So the buff obviously applies to Supermutants
1:43:08
on it too. So just they made
1:43:11
the weapon better. Uh-oh. That means
1:43:13
Supermutants gonna do more damage on
1:43:15
me. Fack. Yep. I mean, you know, you
1:43:17
can take it. You can now get glowing
1:43:19
bobble heads from boxes, which is good. Before
1:43:21
it was not working properly. And the
1:43:23
biggest thing out of these hundred
1:43:25
bullet points I mentioned, they've also
1:43:28
done a major simplification on limb
1:43:30
damage. So I had mentioned before how
1:43:32
they had changed some perks to just
1:43:34
focus on generic limb damage and then
1:43:37
make that affect more creatures
1:43:39
including bosses. Now they're simplifying that
1:43:41
table more too. So you'll see
1:43:43
when you look at your perk cards,
1:43:45
but different perk cards basically just
1:43:47
give you 25, 50, 75% extra limb
1:43:50
damage, which would be good. Yeah, we got
1:43:52
new glowing bubble heads now with the
1:43:54
Gulip team. I haven't found one yet.
1:43:56
How do those, is it just, they
1:43:58
appear in the same spots? regular bobbleheads
1:44:00
and if you are a ghoul they are glowing
1:44:02
or how does this work? They're just variants
1:44:05
so yeah there's like a 10% chance that you
1:44:07
get them from the boxes and like a 1%
1:44:09
chance that a regular bobblehead will appear
1:44:11
as it so they're not really common
1:44:13
and they don't do anything special but
1:44:15
they glow so if you are someone who
1:44:17
likes to display your bobbleheads have a
1:44:19
collection or whatever you know like will
1:44:22
do the bobblehead bridge you can now
1:44:24
display glowing ones and be like look what
1:44:26
I got and be like what I got and
1:44:28
be like what boxes Oh, the mystery bobblehead
1:44:30
boxes. Mystery bobblehead boxes,
1:44:33
what are those? Yeah, you can get them
1:44:35
from the, from the, some of the scoreboard
1:44:37
and his rewards for things. Oh, okay, neat.
1:44:39
I've not, check that out. Yep, they're,
1:44:41
they're a pretty neat little reward. I'm
1:44:43
not sure if we get them in
1:44:45
holiday gifts or anything, but I imagine
1:44:47
we do. Neat. There's no other
1:44:49
major event this weekend. Appalachian outlaws
1:44:52
happening, like I said, big bloom
1:44:54
starting April 29, next week. And that's
1:44:56
it for the foreseeable future.
1:44:58
There's really nothing big for
1:45:00
May besides this big new
1:45:02
event. So hopefully it's fun, but
1:45:04
I think it will be. I think it's
1:45:06
going to be a good time from what
1:45:08
I hear. The big bloom, is that
1:45:11
what it was called? Yep. And as
1:45:13
I mentioned, and as I mentioned before,
1:45:15
it's going to start, the location, is
1:45:17
that what it was called? Yep. And
1:45:19
as I mentioned before, it's going
1:45:21
to start, the location, it's the
1:45:24
very bottom right corner. Right, on
1:45:26
your way. If you find the new area,
1:45:28
Skyline Valley, just to the east of that, like
1:45:30
just past all the Skyline Valley stuff,
1:45:32
almost into the country back. I meant top
1:45:35
left of that placard that is in the
1:45:37
bottom right corner of the map. You got
1:45:39
it. Because I saw... I was trying to find
1:45:41
some location the other day and I
1:45:43
couldn't find it but I kept bringing
1:45:45
up this picture of the placard that's
1:45:47
down there and a big X marks
1:45:49
the spot right here on this like
1:45:51
the very top corner of that and
1:45:53
I was like what the fuck are
1:45:56
they doing and it must be there
1:45:58
they're locating that new location I bet. Randall
1:46:00
just recorded a video of the
1:46:02
new remote. It looks super cool
1:46:04
in the discourse. You want to
1:46:06
see it? So yeah, you're doing a
1:46:08
kind of wild bill hiccoc kind of
1:46:10
thing. Where you're fan in the hammer,
1:46:13
you're spinning the revolver and you're
1:46:15
blowing it out and getting a
1:46:17
spin. Yeah, I like it a lot. You
1:46:19
blow on the pistol, the little smoke
1:46:21
at the end. Very cool. So you
1:46:23
mentioned already there is a game passed
1:46:25
for just a dollar. They used to
1:46:27
do this all the time. It's
1:46:30
not for the first three months or
1:46:32
just one? I don't know if it's for
1:46:34
one or three. I did not look deeper
1:46:36
into that, but I think I might go
1:46:38
ahead and pull the trigger and sign up
1:46:40
for a month of game passing. Just to
1:46:43
try out that oblivion, just because,
1:46:45
you know, if Ray can enjoy it, I
1:46:47
think I should probably give it a chance,
1:46:49
right? I think you probably should. I, yeah,
1:46:51
it's the new hotness. And Ray
1:46:53
doesn't even like fantasy games. I
1:46:56
remember when he thought magic was
1:46:58
silly. Do you remember that
1:47:00
chess? He didn't want to
1:47:02
play Sky. Yeah, I didn't
1:47:04
play Skyroom until the special
1:47:06
edition came out. I mean to
1:47:08
twist your arm to get you into
1:47:11
that too. Oh yeah, yeah, no, you
1:47:13
worked on me for quite
1:47:15
a while. Finally convinced me.
1:47:17
Yeah. The rest of history,
1:47:19
y'all. Horrible influence. 4,000
1:47:22
hours later. And how many
1:47:24
hours of podcasting between all
1:47:26
your shows, too, right? Not
1:47:28
just the game. I'm the only one of
1:47:30
us who came to this through fantasy first.
1:47:33
Was Pat fallout first too?
1:47:35
Probably, right? Yeah. He was absolutely
1:47:37
fallout. Yeah. Fallout, yeah. Okay, Rando had
1:47:39
to say, Oblivion around table
1:47:42
confirmed. Yeah, that's what he was saying,
1:47:44
a chat, if we all play oblivion.
1:47:46
I think we're trying to talk us
1:47:48
into it, because I've seen that brought
1:47:50
up about eight or nine times in the
1:47:52
chat tonight. Yeah, there's a
1:47:54
much better chance of that
1:47:57
happening on the Skyramatic podcast.
1:47:59
It's true. It's true, we just
1:48:01
talked Starfield over here on the
1:48:04
follow feed. What about the Starfield
1:48:06
Lorkas? I know it's more of
1:48:08
a LOR thing, but would you
1:48:10
do a roundtable type project on
1:48:12
that? It's not that kind of show,
1:48:14
really. Yeah. For a different show,
1:48:16
really, necessarily. But I do
1:48:18
want to do things more quest-based.
1:48:21
Talking LOR and talking, talking
1:48:23
quest in a similar kind of
1:48:25
format. Yeah. Podcast wars is Lee.
1:48:27
Oh my goodness. today and I
1:48:29
started a new character. Did you? But
1:48:31
I, you know, I'm not sure if
1:48:34
it's going to take or not, especially
1:48:36
if I'm going to start oblivion. We'll
1:48:38
see. We'll see what happens. We'll see
1:48:40
which one grabs you, if any of
1:48:43
them. Maybe you'll display shelter. You
1:48:45
know that. You know, I will. Always room
1:48:47
for shelter. So speaking of updates and
1:48:49
goals and stuff, you want to go
1:48:52
over this last iguan a bit? This
1:48:54
is a pretty good morsel. Exciting one.
1:48:56
Let's see, what is our last morsel
1:48:58
here? Oh, I just saw this morning
1:49:00
on the news, and it's funny that I'm
1:49:02
starting to see this guy fucking everywhere,
1:49:05
but I saw that Walton Goggins is
1:49:07
going to be on Saturday Night Live,
1:49:09
going to be the host on May 10th,
1:49:11
and I was just thinking, well look
1:49:13
how this guy has been in fallout. this
1:49:16
past year and recording season
1:49:18
two of that but I
1:49:20
think he's also on the
1:49:22
righteous gemstones and some other
1:49:25
he's on like three
1:49:27
Lotus I think he's
1:49:29
on three majorly popular
1:49:31
shows right now that like and
1:49:33
I was trying to think Is
1:49:36
there an actor who's ever been
1:49:38
on three major, that and that
1:49:40
weren't reality or like some bullshit,
1:49:42
like actual scripted? Like, as a
1:49:44
main character, I don't, that used to
1:49:46
not be allowed. Like, you signed contracts
1:49:49
that prevented you from doing
1:49:51
that. But is that one of the
1:49:53
benefits of the new streaming culture? Is
1:49:56
people, I think so. Actors are not
1:49:58
single out the projects. Yeah. When you're
1:50:00
two or three years between seasons, they
1:50:02
can't tell you. And you film for
1:50:04
shorter. So instead of doing 22 or
1:50:06
what, 24 episodes in a season where
1:50:08
you're filming nine, 10 months a year,
1:50:10
now they're filming five, six months a
1:50:12
year and they're doing every two, three
1:50:14
years. So yeah, it's just different. But
1:50:16
yeah, this guy's super involved and
1:50:19
he's evidently Hollywood's new, you know. It's
1:50:21
a big, big discovery. It's like I remember
1:50:23
seeing this guy all over the place like
1:50:25
back in the day. He was like one
1:50:27
of those faces that you just see in
1:50:30
movies. Oh, that guy. Love that guy. Oh,
1:50:32
love. But now he's actually one of the
1:50:34
one of the stars. Good for him. Like
1:50:36
they have Walton Goggins and
1:50:38
Scarlet Johansson finishing up the
1:50:40
season. She'll be on the 17th. He's on
1:50:42
the 10th. Very cool. All right, so
1:50:45
check that out May 10th, Walton Goggins
1:50:47
on Saturday Night Live. And I used
1:50:49
to watch Tonight Live every week in
1:50:51
the last decade or so I've totally
1:50:53
fallen off. I don't even really watch
1:50:55
it anymore. Sometimes snippets the next day.
1:50:58
My wife likes to check it out
1:51:00
sometimes. My mom still watches it every
1:51:02
week. But I will definitely tune in
1:51:04
for the Walton Goggins episode.
1:51:06
So let's have a watch party you guys.
1:51:08
All right. So is that all the iguana
1:51:11
bits we were going to get into tonight?
1:51:13
All the bits we have, yep. All right, thanks.
1:51:15
I forgot to play our iguana bit sounder, I'm
1:51:17
so sad. I can do it fresh, I can
1:51:19
do it fresh, let's wrap it up. Well
1:51:22
class, I hope you enjoyed those iguana
1:51:24
bits. If you have any leftovers, feel
1:51:26
free to put them in a bag
1:51:28
and take them home. Otherwise, you can
1:51:30
bring them over to the office. Collecting
1:51:32
iguana bits in the office. That's the
1:51:34
best. And I didn't know if you
1:51:36
want to want to get into this,
1:51:38
or you want to get into this
1:51:40
or not, or not, Jess, The reasons
1:51:42
you weren't into playing games much in
1:51:44
the middle of this week is that
1:51:46
you recently had a big loss in
1:51:48
your household, right? Yeah, so yeah, my
1:51:50
pug, Alister, passed away this week, which
1:51:52
obviously any regular listens to
1:51:54
the show and friends, I talk about
1:51:57
my pug a little bit too much,
1:51:59
I'm aware. It's a huge part of
1:52:01
my life and I love it. There's
1:52:03
no such thing. Well, good. I'm a
1:52:05
crazy pug, mom, and I'm a
1:52:07
crazy pug, without a pug, right
1:52:09
now, because Alistair passed away. Ray and
1:52:12
Andrew knew that he had been
1:52:14
having heart issues, and, you know,
1:52:16
without getting into all the details,
1:52:18
it was just, he declined
1:52:20
much quicker than expected
1:52:22
despite medication, despite
1:52:24
medication, and passed away
1:52:27
on Wednesday. I miss them already and we
1:52:29
all have all of us here and
1:52:31
everyone listening has probably had
1:52:33
pets that they love. People
1:52:35
they love they lost and it's just
1:52:37
it's so sad and it's it's hard to
1:52:39
deal with. I've been a bit of a
1:52:42
wreck about it obviously you know had a
1:52:44
great show tonight and love you with my
1:52:46
friends here and all that but it's been
1:52:49
a little hard to know what to do
1:52:51
with myself you know they're our best
1:52:53
friends right you guys I mean they
1:52:55
really are some of our best friends. We
1:52:57
were having the conversation and Ray and I
1:53:00
were both like, yeah, our dogs are on
1:53:02
this medication. He'll be fine. And then you
1:53:04
pop back onto the chat like just two
1:53:06
days later. And with the horrible news, I
1:53:09
was just totally fucking blown away. I can't
1:53:11
believe it happened so quickly. It's so shocking.
1:53:13
Yeah, that's exactly the word that came to
1:53:16
my mind. Holy cow. That's the thing when
1:53:18
I didn't realize before this. And guys let
1:53:20
this be a little of a PSA. I
1:53:22
did not realize how small dogs can have
1:53:24
hard issues as they get older as they
1:53:26
get older. You know, but both of you
1:53:28
have experience with that with one of your
1:53:30
animals. And even though I've had three dogs,
1:53:33
a couple of pugs and he worked, dogs
1:53:35
a lot of my life, I didn't realize
1:53:37
how prevalent it was of dogs if they
1:53:39
hit 13. It's like the majority. Yeah.
1:53:41
And I was just surprised to see that.
1:53:43
So if your dog starts wheezing and having
1:53:45
a cough out of nowhere in their coughing.
1:53:47
That's a sign of it, often brought
1:53:49
on by congestive heart failure. It's so
1:53:51
with little dogs especially is where it
1:53:54
happens the most. And also you had
1:53:56
the brachiosophallic breed with the shorter things,
1:53:58
you know, they're breathing. issues are
1:54:00
hard already plus you put fluid
1:54:02
on your lungs or like congestive
1:54:04
heart failure on top of that
1:54:06
and yeah I could see how
1:54:09
that could pile up. Yeah being
1:54:11
a pug, Alster would occasionally have
1:54:13
the breathing fits, the asthma attack
1:54:15
type thing, stuff like this and
1:54:17
this added to it and despite
1:54:19
medication you know the heart failure
1:54:21
so wow yeah he's a good
1:54:23
boy he'll be missed. Yeah, and
1:54:25
so my heart is without everybody.
1:54:27
Like I said, it's, Alistair was
1:54:29
my boy and I talk about
1:54:31
him a lot. And we got
1:54:33
to see him run around behind
1:54:36
you. All the time. The Zoom
1:54:38
call, so. Yeah. What did, do
1:54:40
you mind a couple of questions?
1:54:42
No, that's fine. What, what is
1:54:44
the origin of the name Alistair?
1:54:46
Alistair. Alister Gordon left bridge pug.
1:54:48
Alister Gordon left the ridge Left
1:54:50
bridge Left bridge. Okay. Yeah. All
1:54:52
right. What are all those words?
1:54:54
It's full title. His full title
1:54:56
is Brigadier general. Oh my gosh.
1:54:58
I did not realize I should
1:55:01
have bowed. I mean he saluting
1:55:03
saluting is appropriate. You know. I
1:55:05
could have curtsied. You have to
1:55:07
do the British salute one hand
1:55:09
up to the pug. But no,
1:55:11
he's named after the Brigadier from
1:55:13
Doctor Who, originally. Brigadier Alister Gordon,
1:55:15
Lethbridge Stewart, was his name. Oh,
1:55:17
on the show, that character's name
1:55:19
was. Yes, there's a character from
1:55:21
Classic Doctor Who for years. I
1:55:23
see. I see. I see. And
1:55:26
so James wanted to name him
1:55:28
after that. And he's also, in
1:55:30
my mind, named after Alister from
1:55:32
Dragon Age, because I was playing
1:55:34
a lot of Dragon Age at
1:55:36
that point. I'm like, yeah, that's
1:55:38
a great idea, that's a great
1:55:40
idea, honey. But one fun thing
1:55:42
we did with the pugs throughout
1:55:44
the years was he would occasionally
1:55:46
get, you know, promotions and demotions
1:55:48
as he moved up the ranks
1:55:51
based on his behavior. So, you
1:55:53
know, because nobody starts as a
1:55:55
brigadier general. You have to, you
1:55:57
have to. to earn it. So
1:55:59
he was a private, he was
1:56:01
a colonel for a long time,
1:56:03
and then he chewed some glass
1:56:05
and went back down to like
1:56:07
a sergeant, but then he got
1:56:09
back to colonel. Don't chew glasses,
1:56:11
you know, that's not appropriate behavior
1:56:13
for an officer. No, no, no,
1:56:15
no, no. No. No. No. No.
1:56:18
No. No. No. No. No. No.
1:56:20
No. No. No. No. So great.
1:56:22
Well, he will be missed. And
1:56:24
just as a last little note
1:56:26
here on, on Alister, I've got
1:56:28
a, one of his greatest hits.
1:56:30
It's the Pug's favorite crust too,
1:56:32
if anyone was wondering about how
1:56:34
Pug's ranked crust. He's a big
1:56:36
fan. He heard his name. He
1:56:38
agrees. He likes crust. So that
1:56:40
was, that was one of Alister's
1:56:43
many appearances. on the fallout feet.
1:56:45
Big fan of cheese sticks and
1:56:47
cheese crust for sure. He will
1:56:49
be missed. Yeah. Thank you. All
1:56:51
right. So let's get into a
1:56:53
little bit of shout-out. So you
1:56:55
have something here, Jess, for shouts.
1:56:57
I just wanted to give a
1:56:59
quick shout-out. This is actually a
1:57:01
starfield related shout-out to Annie Austin.
1:57:03
A lot of people, if you
1:57:05
watch much YouTube, you've probably seen
1:57:08
any YouTube, you've probably seen any
1:57:10
Austin. He's blowing up in the
1:57:12
last year or two. how things
1:57:14
work in various games. And like
1:57:16
a slightly obscure odd things. Like
1:57:18
where do all the power lines
1:57:20
in GTA really go? But he's
1:57:22
done stuff like that for a
1:57:24
fallout and scar a bit too.
1:57:26
He's big on Bethesda games. He
1:57:28
just did his first Starfield video.
1:57:30
And the video is, do Starfield's
1:57:32
pipes make any sense? And he's
1:57:35
analyzing all the random pipes around
1:57:37
Gagarin landing. And I thought it
1:57:39
was great. So I hope he
1:57:41
does more Starfield videos. He actually
1:57:43
said he's enjoying Starfield. So. Talk
1:57:45
one up for the good guys.
1:57:47
The pipes. So he's following them
1:57:49
to make sure what they're labeled
1:57:51
goes from a tank to a
1:57:53
service port or something just to
1:57:55
make sure. Trying to decode the
1:57:57
realism of the. pipes and I'll
1:58:00
let you go. And I'll let
1:58:02
you watch to see his conclusions.
1:58:04
But yeah, any Austin is great.
1:58:06
And Lee asked, what is that
1:58:08
that he's wearing on his head?
1:58:10
He wears hair clips. He's got
1:58:12
hair clips in his hair. It's
1:58:14
just a thing he does. So
1:58:16
yeah. All right, that is all
1:58:18
I have for this evening. Was
1:58:20
there anything else you guys wanted
1:58:22
to get into tonight? All for
1:58:25
me. No. All right, in that
1:58:27
case, I will let you know
1:58:29
you can find Ray at Ray

1:58:54
of our discord occasionally. Yeah. And
1:58:56

1:58:58
tonight, I'd like to see everyone's,
1:59:00
everyone's animals. So go over to
1:59:02

1:59:04
What's up? Shout out to Sillyore,

1:59:25
in there. Definitely check them out.
1:59:27
And Ray's going instruct me on
1:59:29
how to get some snails as
1:59:31
big as big as my forearm.
1:59:33
Oh my god, you guys, they
1:59:35
took over our podcast chat with
1:59:37
snail and snail water. I only
1:59:39
caught some. of it during work.
1:59:42
I mean, impressive. He's telling me
1:59:44
to watch my copper levels, okay?
1:59:46
You know, you have to, to
1:59:48
keep happy snails. Important. My wife
1:59:50
saw a video of an af-
1:59:52
a giant African land snail, like,
1:59:54
like... Someone turned on a faucet
1:59:56
and it like looked and like
1:59:58
its little antennae perked up and
2:00:00
you could tell it like got
2:00:02
excited and it stuck its little
2:00:04
nose and the little trickle of
2:00:06
the water and then like turned
2:00:09
at the camera and smiled its
2:00:11
little god damn face like a
2:00:13
god damn puppy and then looked
2:00:15
back at the water and drained
2:00:17
its hold neck in and was
2:00:19
just like rolling in the water
2:00:21
and you could tell it was
2:00:23
like loving it. And Torrey's like,
2:00:25
I need a snail now. Go
2:00:27
get me a snail. So we're
2:00:29
looking into it, and of course
2:00:31
they're fucking illegal in the United
2:00:34
States. They're like superinvasive and dangerous
2:00:36
and stuff. You have to get
2:00:38
a permit if you want to
2:00:40
own them in Indiana. But these
2:00:42
are for like fancy big snails,
2:00:44
right? No, they're like a foot
2:00:46
god damn long. They are huge
2:00:48
ass snails. They are crazy. But
2:00:50
Ray was recommending some smaller ones
2:00:52
to me that we might be
2:00:54
able to have legally in this
2:00:56
in this state. And weren't you
2:00:59
thinking about getting some lids or
2:01:01
something with them too? Like making
2:01:03
them multiple use terrarium? I like
2:01:05
frogs. Frogs are my big thing.
2:01:07
I love getting tadpoles. and watching
2:01:09
the transformation into frogs. I just
2:01:11
think it was one of the
2:01:13
most fucking amazing things to watch
2:01:15
those little guys grow into frogs.
2:01:17
I just think it's so fucking
2:01:19
cool. My dad did it with
2:01:21
me when I was a kid.
2:01:24
We would like just go catch
2:01:26
like some frog eggs and then
2:01:28
you know put them in a
2:01:30
little glass jar with a rock
2:01:32
and some pond water and just
2:01:34
let them go. You know, and
2:01:36
they would eventually turn into little
2:01:38
frogs and be hopping around them.
2:01:40
We'd re-release them. And then you
2:01:42
read like... And it only, you
2:01:44
know, frog eggs, the reason they
2:01:46
lay so many, like hundreds of
2:01:48
frog eggs is because like 98%
2:01:51
of them get eaten by fish
2:01:53
before they actually make it into
2:01:55
tadpoles. And then 98% of those...
2:01:57
had poles get eaten by fish
2:01:59
because they're food for whatever or
2:02:01
birds or whatever. So and then
2:02:03
like very baby frogs are 98%
2:02:05
of them get eaten by birds
2:02:07
and storks and bigger fish and
2:02:09
bowl frogs and stuff so you're
2:02:11
just like adult frogs. Did they
2:02:13
get their revenge? Do they do
2:02:16
the big frogs, eat the fish
2:02:18
and get revenge? They're food for
2:02:20
so many things. They only get
2:02:22
their revenge on flies. Mosquitos and
2:02:24
stuff. They don't get revenge on
2:02:26
anyone. So I love the frogs.
2:02:28
So I always think it's cool
2:02:30
if I can take them in
2:02:32
and grow them up to at
2:02:34
least like baby frog size and
2:02:36
then re-release them to try to
2:02:38
give them at least a little
2:02:41
more hope or whatever. But I'm
2:02:43
probably just going to promote a
2:02:45
frog invasion or something. You know.
2:02:47
What we're release, well then just
2:02:49
find another animal to release to
2:02:51
catch all the frogs, right? And
2:02:53
then we'll have to find another
2:02:55
animal to kill that animal. Now
2:02:57
I'm just thinking about Doc Hopper
2:02:59
out there trying to get Kermit.
2:03:01
Oh, he's the French fried frog
2:03:03
legs. Everybody wants to eat those
2:03:05
frogs. Take a left at the
2:03:08
fork in the road. Hermit does
2:03:10
have some pretty thick frog legs.
2:03:12
He does. All right, so that
2:03:14
was a fun tangent as we're
2:03:16
signing off on the show here.
2:03:18
