[00:00:00] I wish they would make another game. I wish they would run me over. That last game was bad. Really? The Fractured But Whole? No, that was awesome. Oh, Snow Day, okay. Snow Day was living dog trash. Living dog shit. Living dog shit. Damn it. I was just thinking that too. Fucking Bobber Zombie himself. Bob Zom. Carolina.

[00:00:27] You ever notice that his lyrics are like really, really stupid? Like, Devil man in a garbage can. Singing sweet Mary Jesus in a traveling band. Like, it's always like... It's always the most insane shit. Like, it never makes a fucking lick of sense. And he's like, just really influenced by like old horror movies and stuff. And it's like, where did this shit come from? None of this makes sense. He's like, Popeye the Sailor Man. Lived in a garbage can.

[00:00:58] Turned on the heater and he blew off his beater. I don't know. Oh my god. Everybody's like, fuck yeah! Fucking open this fucking pit up. Dude. Open my pit. Oh no. Oh no. Please. I don't... I mean, I love you buddy, but I don't think we're there yet. That's true. Yeah, we got a nice two more dates. Yeah. Shit, are you ready to open this pit up? The show?

[00:01:27] Yeah, I'm ready to drink cyanide. Let's go. Let's go. What adoo everybody. My name's Aaron. I wanna fucking yabba dabba die. And I'm Jerry. Just do the thing. You're listening to Super Pod Saga. Sluts.

[00:02:00] Yeah, that's right. It's us. Yep. Oh man. We're in your brains. The worms. The worms are back. Yeah. This is... It's Super Pod Saga. It's me and it's Jerry. Jerry, how are things? You had some difficulties yesterday. Oh, you wanna get into that? Well, I had a very eventful weekend.

[00:02:27] It started with my computer kind of acting a fool. You know, we were trying to play some rivals on Friday. Yeah. And my computer was shitting the bed. And I was like, this is goddamn rivals. So we kept switching servers. Mm-mm. It wasn't the issue. Because all you guys are fine. I mean, you got lag sometimes, but I mean, I was just all... Like, I was looking at like PowerPoint presentation being run on like Windows 95. Like it was...

[00:02:56] It was bad. So I said to myself, I'm gonna pop this bitch apart. Tomorrow morning, when I get up, nice Saturday morning, I'm gonna get my coffee. I'm gonna poke around and, you know, see if I can freshen the old PC up. You're literally poking it with a fucking stick that you found in the front yard. You're like, hey, do math. Come on, do something. Do math. Yeah.

[00:03:20] But yeah, I took it and I popped it all apart because I was gonna change the fans. Cause I had a kind of a noisy fan anyways. So I was like, I'm gonna pop this apart, change this fan out and see if maybe it needs a cleaning or something. So I put everything back together and then it decided to stop working. It would not boot into Windows anymore.

[00:03:48] So I spent the majority of Saturday and then Sunday morning, I got up and I tried to fix it more. And I ended up learning that long story short, it was booting. It was trying to boot Windows. That was like the hard drive that was set to boot Windows was just my storage drive that I have like all my games on like my NVMe. For some reason that was set to the boot drive. What the fuck? Magically. Fuck. Yeah.

[00:04:17] So I got it to work today. Today is Monday. And I finally, I got everything working. Yeah. So it's been a, we were going to record last night, but my computer said not today. No, sir. No siree. That's all good, man. We ended up watching like three episodes of the righteous gemstones and they were. Is that is a new one out? Yeah. Uh, we're on season. I don't know.

[00:04:46] We're on season two. I think we're toward the end of season two. It's getting okay. Yeah. Yeah. I think that I think the season four is the one new one that's coming out. And I think it's, it is the final one. It's the final season. That sucks, man. I know. I know. It's so good. It's such a good show. I noticed that anything that Danny McBride either produces or directs is. They're usually short. Yeah. Short and really fucking good. Like vice principals. That's really, really good. Yeah. I've been meaning to go back and check that out. Dude. It's awesome.

[00:05:15] Speaking of TV shows, before we get into all this stuff, dude, do you watch White Lotus? I think I heard you and Beth talking about it. Oh yeah. Like on Rivals and stuff. Yeah. Do yourself a favor and watch White Lotus. The White Lotus. Oh. It's a crazy show. I know a lot of these actors. Holy shit. Yes. That show is pumped full of good actors. Oh, and it's on max. Okay.

[00:05:43] And fun fact, season one, my celebrity crush. Which, wait, hang on. Let me pull the cast back up. I'm going to, I'm going to guess it. Pull it up. See if you can guess. I got the cast. Okay. Theo James. I was kidding though. Nice try. Aubrey Plaza. No, but she's good. She's good. She's very good in this, in the, in that first season, but no. Sydney Sweeney. No, surprisingly. No, that's not. I mean, yeah, but like, no.

[00:06:13] Alexandra Daddario. Yeah. She was in always sunny. Yeah. Bingo. Yeah. Oh God. Charlie. The idiot. Go away, dumb dumb. I was just using you. Like, okay. He fucked up so bad. Oh God. It made me so mad. Anyway. So we are, we're kicking it old school today. We're going to, you know, we're going to talk about some, some retro shit. Cause I feel like it's in our blood to do that.

[00:06:43] It is in our blood. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. So, uh, what are we doing? What the fuck are we doing here, man? For any first timers, this is the greatest collaboration of all time. Greater than Sonny and Cher even. Rip Sonny. We miss you, buddy. May you rest in peace forever. Is he dead? He's been long dead dude. He died in like a helicopter accident in the eighties or nineties. I believe. Are you talking about Sonny Bono? Yeah. Didn't he hit a tree and die? Maybe that what? Maybe I'm thinking of somebody else.

[00:07:11] There's that lyric from an Eminem song. Sonny Bono skies horses and hitting some trees. Oh shit. I thought it was going to be something way cooler. Like Sonny Bono ran into a tree and he died. He made fun of Sonny Bono and Christopher Reeve in like a single sentence. Uncool Eminem. It was a good song though. Look, man, it was of its time. Okay.

[00:07:41] It is very of its time. Yeah. Yeah. So yeah, we're on a quest to discuss every single video game topic in existence week by week. This week, we're discussing the Sega Genesis. Like Joey said, we're going old school. Well, sorry, Sega Genesis, or if you live anywhere outside of North America, the Mega Drive. Master. Oh yeah, the Mega Drive. Sorry. It's literally only the Sega Genesis in North America. So you, me, Mexico. What's up? Mega Drive. I don't know which one I like better. I think I like Genesis better. Yeah.

[00:08:10] Genesis sounds way better. Like Mega Drive just sounds like they were like, uh, uh, uh, game mega. And then they were like, mega, mega game. Pfft. That's the name. It's a really good game. Yeah. They just took two words that sound cool and put them together like turbo hyper drive or like something stupid. Turbo paint. Tur- paint? That would count paint as a cool word, but.

[00:08:42] It's like when they name fucking, uh, Dodge trucks, they're like Ram. Fucking hyper charge. They're like, I don't know if the hyper charge is a truck name, but. That's not a truck name. Okay, cool. Cool. Cool. Well, before we get to the topic, first of all, there's no guests. It's just me and Jerry this time around again. Cause we're just goofy fucks. Yeah. Before we get to all that though, Patreon and Ko-Fi shit. I want to mention this right off the bat.

[00:09:07] Uh, I added a $1 tier to the Patreon for those folks who want to support the show, but don't want to bust your budget by a buck or three. Uh, it's just, just there. So you don't need to be busting your budgets balls. Yeah. Is what we're saying. You just gotta, you take it easy. You know? Yeah. Give us, give us a buck. Buck goes a long way in this economy. Two bucks and even Arnold Palmer. Now you can't buy them for one buck anymore. Unfortunately. Yeah. There you go. That sucks ass. And then, yeah, there's the Ko-Fi.

[00:09:36] If you don't want to commit to a monthly thing, just drop us a buck there. Just a one time, one time plop of a dollar. We're good to go. Mm hmm. Mm hmm. It sure is. Uh, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep. Super important breaking news. Uh, here we go. So you know how I like a good ROM translation? Oh yeah. There's a, uh, uh, new translation out of a PS one action RPG. And it's very obscure.

[00:10:04] I think it's like one of the only, if not like maybe like there's they, this company only did like a couple games maybe. And then they folded. Like this game came out in 1999 and then they folded in like 2000, but it's an action RPG where you're like trying to make your way through like a dungeon. It sounds like, but there's like NPCs that you can like convince to come with you. And I guess the amount of people that you convince by the end changes your ending. Yeah. What is it? It's cool. It's called, it's called, uh, sorry. I should have said that right from the start.

[00:10:34] Uh, yeah. Yeah. Could you imagine? We just ended the whole segment. Like, yeah, it's a good game. It's actually one of the best PS one games I've ever played in my life. Uh, yeah. So go check it out. Some people are just tearing their house. What the fuck is together? What is it? People are like fucking rolling cars over in the streets. Aaron and Jerry didn't say the name of the game. Like they drive their car into a tree. It's called a prisoner. Prisoner. I think I might've seen this on time.

[00:11:02] Maybe it was, that's where I seen it on time extension. Thank God. I thought time extension. Yeah. Time extension is fantastic. I get a lot of information from them. It's great. It's great site. I highly encourage. We're not sponsored by them by any means, but we talk about them a lot, but they're a, they're a great site. I would, uh, encourage everybody to go there for their, their retro news. It's not only retro though. Retro nudes. Retro nudes. Dude.

[00:11:31] Do you remember when like boobs were like really like, like they had like the shape of a banana? Like you ever see like a seventies porn? I don't know about seventies porn, but I know like, uh, uh, Well do yourself a favor after this is over. We'll just hop into bed and be like, Don't mind me. I'm going to watch the family TV.

[00:11:56] It's just throwing some fucking, some banana boobies and some fucking nice seventies. Buosh. This has got the cheesiest, like a Seinfeld base. Like like. Oh yeah. You know what? I feel like it's, it's a, it's a classier time in pornography. It really was art. Yeah, it really was. Yeah. It was, it had stories.

[00:12:21] Like there was like legitimate stories happening in these fucking pornos. And like, you don't get that now. The story. What? Like what's the story now? This is right to the action. There's no setup. There's no exposition. It's just like. I was trying to do the, the dishes, but all of a sudden now there's, now there's just this dick in me. I don't know what to do about it. That's the title. Oops. I slipped. Whoops. I did the dishes.

[00:12:51] Number 56. Holy shit. It's going to be the name of my autobiography. Shit. Yeah. Yeah. For real. Go check out that 70s porn. I highly encourage it. It's good for everybody, man. Amazing soundtracks, good stories. Soundtrack. It's just, it's just nothing but like slapping sounds.

[00:13:21] It literally sounds like a fucking Genesis game. Like I would, dude, I would watch a fucking porno with like that Genesis, like sound like. Dudes are just like, yeah, what's up? It's fucking people getting railed to like the sickest bass slaps. The sickest 16 bit bass slaps you've ever heard in your life.

[00:14:00] Speaking of slaps. Or yeah, we're talking about the Genesis again, literally everywhere else. It's called the mega drive because North America sucks. But I guess, but I don't know. We're, we're calling it the Genesis though. Yeah. Yeah. Sounds cooler. Sorry, everybody. Cooler than 70s porn. That's good. That's the title of the episode now. The Sega Genesis colon.

[00:14:30] Cooler than a 70s porn bush. Banana boobs. Oh man. Banana boobs. Tell me who the mascot was. As you're. Oh yeah. So it was almost a rice star. Um, I gotta, I gotta, I gotta derail from. I can't, I can't believe.

[00:14:58] So the mascot was supposed to be rice star. Yeah. Yeah. He was. That doesn't make, that doesn't make sense. That doesn't make sense. And he only had one fucking game. Yeah. They had made one rice star game and they were like, this is it. Put them on the fucking box. It's the one. This is him or as the company. We're signing a deal with universal as we speak for a movie adaptation. Oh shit. Would you fucking imagine. Steven Spielberg on the line.

[00:15:25] The RCU, the rice star cinematic universe. They've got him. Uh, uh, uh, team it up with echo the dolphin. And like the Sonic never, never came to be all of these other Sega stars would have just mashed universes. And I don't know. It would have been kind of cool. If this was like in the same timeline of like the dream cast somehow. And they, they, and the Genesis was the one that made them go upside down.

[00:15:55] I bet they would have turned to like some real desperate shit. Like they'd be like, cool spot. What's up? You're our new mascot. That was for seven up. Like they're going to steal the mascot from seven up. Or like Alfred chicken, some fucking thing. They were playing Alfred chicken. No, you're talking to. You don't have to. You don't have chicken. Have you never heard of Alfred chicken? What is that? Actually? I don't, I don't know. I'm just, I can hear Mike quest 64 calling me out.

[00:16:24] Me and like, that's actually a good game. Like I can hear him in my fucking brain right now. Fuck you, Mike. I love you buddy, but fuck you. Because I, I have not played that game. Really? I think I might've thrown it on. It could be fucking good. I don't know. I don't know, Mike. I don't have all the answers. All I'm saying is wrist star or rice star or Christ or wherever the name is. Christ. Christ air. Yeah. Right. I mean, I don't know.

[00:16:53] I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I just love Mario and he's iconic obviously. Like he's massive, you know?

[00:17:23] Like, I think I've seen a study saying that like now the general population can recognize like younger kids recognize Mario before they recognize like Disney characters and shit. That's cool. It is cool. But Sonic on a technical level, I will say is cooler than Mario. The games. I mean I do like a Sonic game I do I really do some of them not all of them but a lot of them yeah but there were a lot on the Genesis that

[00:17:53] like really the only ones you want to play on Genesis are like 1 through 3 cause like what was that one uh 3D Blast I think that's what the top down one was look here's the thing buddy Sonic 3D Blast is not a bad game people are out there they're gonna tell you there's gonna you're gonna hear a different narrative about this game okay I don't want you to believe those those people talking that shit I know the soundtrack slaps like a motherfucker though the game is not bad

[00:18:22] uh like I've seen that game get so much shit and I don't think that's a bad game okay yeah Sonic 3D Blast talking shit about Sonic 3D Blast uh yeah so the successor to the Master System there were like three versions of the Master System by the way there was like the SG-1000, 2000, 3000 all that shit but yeah the Genesis Oregon Mega Drive brought Sega into the 16-bit generation

[00:18:52] in 1988 which is nuts yeah that's why it sounds like those old like cause the thing for me I don't know about you when I would like go to a friend's house and hear some of the Sega games like Sonic was an exception Sonic sounded amazing like it had a really unique sound at that time like I never heard I mean I didn't play a lot of arcade games back when I was a little little little little kid which it kind of sounded more like some of the old like

[00:19:20] arcade cabinets and stuff but like I remember having like I had a Super Nintendo and I would go to like a friend's house and hear like the same game on Sega and I'd be like sorry on Genesis I will always just refer to the Genesis as Sega yep I was that guy but I would shit on people if they were like are you playing that Nintendo I fucking I will I will beat your fucking I will cave your chest in though

[00:19:50] oh my god that shit pisses me off so much but I do the exact same thing I just call Genesis the Sega well I haven't in a while but when I was a kid yeah my friends had Sega and I would go over there and be like why does your sound sound so stupid what does your sound sound like hot wet ass yeah like it didn't some games like if you had like the same game on different on like Super Nintendo and Genesis like I just thought they sounded way worse on Genesis

[00:20:19] when in reality stuff like Earthworm Jim sounds better on Genesis because I don't know something I guess like the graininess of like the samples and shit that they were capable of doing on the Genesis just added like a different feel to it yeah yeah and there there are quite a few games that actually sound I guess yeah it depends all on the composer and like how they work with the sound chip or whatever because like Streets of Rage god damn that's what I mean like there were exceptions to that rule where like

[00:20:49] there were visionaries working on music on this console where it just sounded incredible I mean I'm not good with with names of I only know like off the top of my head like the actual names of like six composers ever in music but like the composers for Sonic and Streets of Rage like some of these games just have incredible soundtracks yeah I can't recall the name of the composer who did Sonic I could probably look it up here in a sec

[00:21:19] but Yuzo Koshiro did Streets of Rage and a good bunch of other games too and like all all of their like all of their music is so fucking good like did you play the new did you play Streets of Rage 4 I haven't but I've heard the soundtrack that's amazing dude yeah like fucking still killing it even there's a lot of other games like Shining Force and even like Crusader of Senti I don't know if you've played that

[00:21:49] but that soundtrack even though it's like real bassy and twangy it still sounds really really good because they worked around the twangy sound and like really melded into their sound if that makes sense did you I don't like we're kind of gone off on a tangent here I guess oh yeah after but did you you you knew that like Michael Jackson helped like with I I know for sure Sonic 3 Sonic 3 and I think he even

[00:22:19] did some stuff with Sonic 2 never got credited he was like I don't want I don't need credit but he was like in there just like and he was like fucking doing his little like mouth based shit and they were like oh my god write it down write it down now and then that's how we got fucking Chemical Zone which is arguably one of the best oh I can hear it in my brain now did it yeah that shit is holier than thou

[00:22:47] holier than thou yep it's good shit but yeah for the 16 bit thing for 1988 I mean it makes sense like I'm sure when this thing dropped in 1988 I'm sure several balls also dropped like boys became men when this thing came out this might not be entirely accurate but this was one of the first 16 bit consoles to drop because the TurboGrafx didn't drop until well in the US

[00:23:17] it didn't drop until 89 it was 87 in Japan the SNES was 91 and there's probably some other like lesser known consoles that probably dropped before this but yeah it was one of the first ones out there the first the original pack-in game for the Genesis was Altered Beast but then eventually replaced by Sonic in 91 hour up yeah wise from your grave yeah I fucking love that dude

[00:23:48] I should I should play that game no you don't you don't need to it's not that's another game I like that game man it's hard as fuck though it's hard as a motherfucker though it's a cool game same with what's the one where you're like spider house no space harrier maybe where you're flying and you're shooting that like weird broom gun thing I always thought this is a cool looking game and then I started playing it and then I went

[00:24:18] I never want to touch this game again yeah the weird perspective always fucks with me I keep thinking oh it's just another shooter but like it's not because it's like over the shoulder but not there's a game on UFO 50 that's very similar to that I think it's Campanella there's like three Campanella games on fucking UFO 50 and one of them is very similar to that and I just I don't know like I could never I don't know Star Fox was okay

[00:24:47] for like the whole like 3D shit but like most of that stuff that we're doing that like faux 3D perspective I always found very wonky back then you know what I'm saying yeah yeah but Altered Beast that's not a bad game that's not a that's not a bad game there's worse games than Altered Beast I mean that's not to say Altered Beast is a bad game but it's also not to say it's a good game I wouldn't go as far as to be like you have to play Altered Beast

[00:25:17] that's true I mean it's fine yeah yeah Sonic though yeah that fucking that shit took off like that that series alone like sold and like carried the Genesis throughout pretty much this whole generation because yeah the Sega or I almost said the Sega the Genesis see the Genesis fucking I'm not the only one because of like not just Sonic but other games like Mortal Kombat having blood and shit like Genesis was the cool kid console

[00:25:46] that like all the cool kids had if you had a SNES you were a fucking baby yeah what this was this was not this was not the narrative that I grew up with yeah like the Genesis was supposed to be it was marketed more toward like maybe not teens but like pre-teens because it was it was the cool like edgy I feel like I distinctly remember like bullying kids being like oh you can't afford a Super Nintendo where's your RPGs Jonathan

[00:26:19] do you have a Super FX chip where's your squash and stretch you fucking nerd oh you can't handle three parallax backgrounds all at once guess your dad didn't get that promotion Steven because your parents don't really love you know your place trash yeah I'm not even I distinctly remember

[00:26:48] being like my friend being like you wanna go over to Neil's house and play like some Sega and I was like no we don't have to go over to his place he doesn't have any snacks he's got a fucking Sega which who cares I was like we can go to my place who cares I got Dunkaroos and Super Nintendo oh my god Dunkaroos string cheese fruit roll ups I'd go raid the fucking like the kitchen would be raided and I'd be like

[00:27:18] it's time to go down and play some Super Mario World and then Neil would just be at his place trying to play Sonic 2 by himself by himself lonely fucking nerd do you remember I mean they have to have had this in Canada as well but have you ever had the Rice Krispie Treats cereal where it was like clusters of like of like Rice Krispie Treats but like as a cereal not I have not indulged in some Rice Kris you're talking about like Rice Krispie

[00:27:47] squares yeah but they had like I'm just picturing like a solid single Rice Krispie in the bowl and you just like pour fucking milk you just pour water over it it's like when you empty out a can of like cream of mushroom soup and it stays in the shape of the can no it's they were like isn't it amazing how how delicious cream of mushroom soup can make a dish but then how absolutely revolting like god forsaken

[00:28:16] it looks it's like and it like flops out of the fucking can it's just like gelatinous cylinder oh my god that sound was amazing I fucking hate that shit yeah it's I wonder if there's weird psychopaths out there that eat cream of mushroom soup or like cream of celery soup that's like the most unholy fucking creation on the face of the planet cream of cream of celery it's it's vile dude it's the

[00:28:46] cream of sonic man what was I gonna say gelatinous fucking blue cylinder that's that's big the cat he's purple isn't he no I'm just joking I'm just being fucking stupid they can't have two blue things blue bitches what's your like very first that you can recall memory with the genesis I was just thinking

[00:29:16] with cream of mushroom soup yeah that's that was the that was the MK ultra fucking trigger set me off was thinking about gelatinous as it comes out of the can sounding like a fucking gen X porn Jesus I don't need none of that I don't need any of that I don't need none of that that's my that's my sleeper agent trigger word gelatinous

[00:29:45] mess now we need to go kill the president first thing that I remember was literally like going over to this kid Neil's house and he was like check this shit out and he was like showing us we were like six or seven he probably didn't say check this shit out he was like you guys want to see something amazing but he didn't even say amazing

[00:30:15] he's probably like you guys want to see something that will be cool as he shits his pants Sonic you guys want to play Sonic I was like what is Sonic come in my come see my basement and I'll show you Sonic and then we went down you never came back you know what he fucking did murdered you in his basement bitch I'm still here I know I'm just joking get the lore right shit the lore is that we went into this kid's basement and

[00:30:44] he was like check out Sonic 2 now normal kids would be like check out Sonic 2 throw on Sonic 2 level like zone one right not this dumb fuck he turned on the fucking two player bullshit that's like a race and I was like this looks like uni racers sucks and that was I was like I'm going home I thought you said this was cool I'm gonna go home and play

[00:31:14] uni racers and then I kind of like there was a couple of other friends that were there and I feel like we were all standing around watching him throw this racing thing on he didn't even have two controllers he just turned on the racing thing and he's like and it's like the split screen and he's just on the top doing the thing or maybe he did have another controller but none of us wanted to even play it he was like isn't that cool I feel like he was like

[00:31:44] really into it and then he was like isn't that cool when he turned around we were in if he had shown me Sonic 2 proper I probably would have ran home and screamed at my parents to buy me a Genesis right there and then but that's not what I see first typical dumb kid ship and then it wasn't until

[00:32:14] when I moved to a different city and that's where I met Greg when I was a wee boy and he had a Sega Genesis so I feel like a lot of my time playing Genesis was actually at Greg's place and he had he had good shit like he had he had that good good he had Sonic 2 which I finally got to play proper I remember us playing because we figured out that you could like the second player could play his tails

[00:32:44] and yeah we played a bunch of that he had Vector Man which is also fantastic yeah you ever played Vector Man fuck yeah that game's awesome good yep so he had that I think he had Streets of Rage 2 like he

[00:33:17] in my brain but I'm pretty sure the earliest one was so as a kid I would go to my dad's house every other weekend and sometimes my dad would have to work on the weekend so he would drop my brother and I off at my uncle's place and my uncle at a Denny's he dropped us off at a Denny's no my my uncle had people over frequently not like crazy ass people but he would have a friend over every so often

[00:33:47] and his friends were cool as hell so his one friend Ted he always brought his fucking Sega Genesis with him and he multiple cans of Prima Mushroom soup falling out

[00:34:17] just like one at a time dude I'm sorry continue oh fuck oh I didn't mean to put that in your head it's okay your uncle fucking did oh man yeah go on so we would play we would play Sonic or Earthworm Jim or those claps come up

[00:34:48] yeah it was it was either Earthworm Jim or Sonic or other games I can't remember those were like the the two most memorable ones because Earthworm Jim was just very what the fuck to us kids are you gonna make it dude I'm just wondering if you actually ever considered that might be the thing that's happening no I didn't I was fucking don't forget to bring your Genesis

[00:35:18] over the kids are gonna be here we don't want to let them hear us fucking don't forget to bring a rubber to Sega Genesis I lunchtime rolled around he would microwave us some of like the cheapest chicken patties on the planet and they always tasted like shit oh this is just an

[00:35:48] excuse to go fuck dead your kids hear some chicken patties in a Sega Genesis we're gonna go watch Star Trek or whatever just just

[00:36:18] I'm sorry I gotta get it out I won't stop thinking about it I'll never get past oh god oh jesus christ you see fucking I'm crying I'm crying my eyes are fucking watering so bad oh anyways go on oh

[00:36:47] I can't I can't after that my chest is so bad no yeah yeah yeah we used to watch um laser disc movies a lot stop shut the fuck here you go kids hear some chicken patties in a Sega Genesis go play Sonic

[00:37:19] you guys like laser discs you hear some of the most like guttural sounds coming from the other half of the trailer yeah you're like did they just open up a can of cream of mushroom soup no it's Ted crack fucking holy shit man snapped in half fucking

[00:37:48] snizzed or whatever holy shit man god bless Ted shout out Ted speaking of tight dude that controller though yeah yeah it was a it was a very tight controller I as you dump it out of

[00:38:18] the can I agree that that is still a very tight controller actually I was playing some Sega Genesis Genesis yesterday and on my mister and I got the I got the Genesis classic sitting over on the on the shelf there and yeah got those controllers I actually I bought the Genesis like the mini specifically for the controllers for mister I've been debating on getting that the one for the

[00:38:47] Nintendo switch online shit because they sell like a wireless one for for Nintendo switch only if you're a switch online subscriber and it's like nasty like that yeah if you get a real x-ray like that yeah it's like fucking 40 or 50 bucks though so like I don't know I feel like I could get like an 8-bit dough or like some other brand one for much cheaper which brand like the wireless one is which one it's an actual like first party one for an

[00:39:17] for switch oh yeah that's a that's a nice controller I still so here's the thing might have mentioned this before on a switch fine make sure you're using it wireless because it has more input lag when it's wired than it does when it's wireless all of the all of the Nintendo fuck yeah all the Nintendo controllers have more input lag when they're wired that said I don't really notice it I

[00:39:57] play with wireless but I have a habit of wiring things up but the Genesis mini controllers are the best for that they're just like a USB incredibly low latency and I just plug that right into the mister and away you go away you go I really like the

[00:40:27] have the six button like bean retro made a Genesis one yeah they have the six button bean controller and then they also have the Saturn one they got a blue Genesis one too that looks dope they have the N64 controller too in atomic purple yeah I I don't know look man the N64 controller is wonky I get it but whenever I see like different iterations on that controller it never feels right that's just probably my

[00:40:55] rose tinted nostalgia glasses I don't know how I feel about the the d-pad being right in the middle that's unnatural like so that's here's the thing and this isn't an N64 episode but no yeah yeah what the fuck are you doing with the like why did you make the thing and go oh fuck you know oh shit you

[00:41:27] have to fucking could you what do you what because that game is

[00:42:25] like it's just a little bit smaller and removes the headphone jack but pretty much the same thing the third one is probably the fucking coolest one the genesis CDX is just this little tiny like combo of the genesis with the Sega CD yeah that's really all it was it was just a fucking walkman that could play genesis cartridges and you could take this fucker with you on the bus

[00:42:55] or like while you were fucking mopping your floor and listen to CDs and shit and then whenever you're done you just go plop your ass the uh the

[00:43:25] laser eye like the laser reader eye is apparently really fucking hard to repair in those so that sucks but yeah it'd be fucking sweet to have a 1400 bucks man what's up what's up jump change bitch yeah that's it's just and that was in 1994 which seems like sega was just so ahead of their time with this i feel like anyway because i can't recall anything else like that from 1994 other than if you just had a regular fucking

[00:43:55] plain walk band but that can't play genesis games dude it's it's really cool yep it sure is double a batteries that's yeah and it supports the entire genesis library except for one game i already forget which game it is but yeah the nomad supports the entire genesis library

[00:44:25] save for one game that requires the use of the reset button which the nomad lacks doesn't say which game though but fuck it go ahead oh that's i know what it is it's a fucking we dude the um was there a trivia we did the trivia thing with jeff new it's the it's a fucking x-men game or something that sounds right that sounds very right you gotta get to a point where you like hit reset yeah yeah yeah there you go

[00:44:55] nailed it got it got it I was gonna say though that this would also be incompatible with my parents finances because six double a batteries in the 90s are you out of your fucking mind there were zero maybe there was a rechargeable battery here or there back then but yeah almost everything ran on batteries your gameboy your nomad your cd players your fucking everything double a yeah double a

[00:45:25] I think if I was around that age I probably only ever seen one of those once in my life and was like what the fuck is that like staring at it like the monolith like the monkeys looking at the monolith like what is this thing why is this battery extra big big battery big boy battery so it's big beefy fucking batteries right like the double a's the cylinder ones yeah it's like a fatter cylinder one it's not like like a D battery it's like a rectangle C is like oh wait

[00:45:55] no the C I think it's like the big chunky round one just google C battery I am the stupidest man who has ever lived double a batteries I've seen these I probably tried to eat one when I was a kid these are the most common batteries did you ever

[00:46:34] go great or you're like what the hell did I just do why did I do this on your fucking teeth are like like fucking they're like vibrating it

[00:47:04] chemical shit is in that wrapper that would burn skin cinnamon I don't know that is insane I did not know this it's cool listeners go do that right now stop the podcast and go do that go burn your hand and then rub it

[00:47:34] off I just remember that giving like fucking burns like people would have like scars and shit oh hell yeah it was like oh wait we used to call it a wussy test that's what it

[00:48:04] jesus christ yeah i went to school in guantanamo bay man what's up what's up i know osama he dead gave him a wussy test though before he passed fucking clapped him i clapped his fucking hand up with that eraser oh shit turns out he was a fucking bitch bitch

[00:48:34] he uh he apparently had uh wait yeah he apparently had a whole shit ton of gameboy advance roms and shit when they found him no he didn't are you serious that was a thing there there was this rumor about how like when they when they found him he had a computer loaded up he was just trying to get through fucking goddamn megaman battle network in peace in his little cave yeah when they found him he only had one more gym to go and pokemon i'm gonna google

[00:49:03] osama bin laden computer and fucking zero dark 30 happened oh dude took away all his fucking roms so during a 2011 raid on osama bin laden's compound and i bought i bought a bad pakistan they found final fantasy seven half life counter strike super mario bros yoshi's island ds dragon ball z and devil may cry um they found documentaries

[00:49:33] of osama bin laden they found home videos he's like yeah i did that shit yeah i did that too ice age dawn of the dinosaurs ants tom and jerry and jackie chan adventures jackie chan adventures no wonder that show slapped dude though that show was so good i thought when you first said that i thought you were gonna say that when they found him in his like underground bunker that he had like six sega genesis all like strapped together and he was like i'll

[00:50:03] do it i'll do it they're like put your hands up and he was like nope i'll blow so help me god i'll blow this bitch to kingdom come then one fucking nerd on the like the u.s. navy seals or whatever he's like just chemicals on like dude dude did it did it those aren't dynamite those are sega genesis is like shut up nerd sega genocide sega genocide oh oh shit dude

[00:50:33] speaking of genocide dude let's talk about those accessories let's get the fucking activator out of the way because that thing's fucking stupid it's just a fucking octagon that you slap onto the floor and then you could kind of play games using like your movements oh yeah yeah yeah think of like the connect if it sucked way more balls suck more balls and ted on a tuesday night shit yeah so the the sega cd was was pretty cool i think

[00:51:03] sega cd had some cool stuff it did had shining force cd better audio cd is an insane game dude it is that was like the reason to own a sega cd had the cool anime cutscenes too i think that's one of the biggest one of the biggest draws of that whole fucking thing was the cool like animated cutscenes you get in a lot of games like lunar i think it had both eternal blue and silver star sorry i get the names mixed up all the time but those had really

[00:51:33] cool anime cutscenes on there too and voice acting terrible voice acting but yeah voice acting yeah it had it and yeah the sega cd had this cool cool like startup thing where it was like you see this space background and the sega cd logo would come up like oh yeah yeah yeah i've seen that it's really cool i like that shit i've seen it like when you emulate it i think you can there's a option to like leave the bios like on so that

[00:52:03] like when it starts up you actually see that yeah i think i'm not 100% sure but i think so yeah that's cool i know i've seen it man what a piece of shit to kind of go along with that too there were a couple different kinds of the sega cd and one that kind of incorporated 32x so like the sega cd originally was

[00:52:33] like this like side by side with the genesis and you got like the two in one and then there was of course the cdx and then there was the the fucking tower of power where it was like the frankenstein of a like if you had all it basically the sega genesis became like the megazord of consoles like you just had all these different yeah it was like just all these different pieces that would come together

[00:53:02] none of them were on their own were like super good especially not the like sega cd yes to an extent but it was also like you know what's the what's the real takeaway here there's a few exclusive games but not anything worth really buying for the 32x i don't know if i've ever i've never ever met anybody that had like the whole thing like when i was when i was a kid you know like people have them now because they they collect them but like back then i just remember like

[00:53:32] 32x commercials i was like there's another new sega console like what do you mean even as a kid i was like what like why is this happening and then no it's just another hole it's just it's just another hole it's just a fucking adapter like and then you just get sonic and knuckles and stack them on top of each other until they go to your ceiling yeah that's it's all the tower of power was it was the sega cd on the bottom and the genesis then the 32x and then throw us throw a game gear or not a game gear uh

[00:54:02] what's it called game genie game genie game genie there then throw sonic sonic 3 or no sonic sonic and knuckles sonic and knuckles was the was the cart that had the adapter on the top so then you throw another thing i mean jesus christ yep yep yes 32x was it was a cool idea on paper sega just wanted consumers to have a way to upgrade to the next generation while using existing hardware but

[00:54:32] that never usually works i don't know yeah 32x was just poopy idea it was oh my god our homeboys pressed me to cancel they did just a fucking hilarious episode about the 32x they just roasted on it for like an entire hour and a half apparently if you installed it incorrectly it would just melt something about the power capacitors or whatever it would just melt your fucking genesis like

[00:55:02] oh my god the game was just like there was maybe two or three good ones but most of them were just there was no point to even buying the goddamn thing because the games were so meh so fucking meh like was it knuckles and chaotix they well shit like the 32x came out and they were like let's put doom on it but let's let's make it worse let's make this a bad

[00:55:32] doom that's the title of the game bad doom that's a bad doom bad doom yeah it was bad it was bad shit yep i'm pretty sure it had water world though bless god bless water world and then yeah then there was the genesis mini which i have it's a cool little console i meant to get one i like it i remember having one wish listed on amazon well if you ever get a mister i would say it's almost like you should definitely get it

[00:56:01] because like it's worth getting those controllers alone i mean you could you probably could get the the those retro bit controllers so yeah then the uh the sega channel had some very peculiar things about it you could like download games but it was like demos or something like you could you could download a game like it would be like this week on the sega channel you could download mortal canba canba

[00:56:31] so you get like mortal combat for like four hours and then you'd have to go to bed and you wake up the next morning like we're taking it back and it would be gone oh yeah another really really cool idea because like you could just demand from your from your cable writer be like i want this sega channel and they'd be like all right that'll be ninety nine dollars please and then and then yeah you download games

[00:57:01] again cool idea but maybe they should have looked into that a little bit more before they before they launched it because it uh like from what i've heard from other people it just wasn't really worth the money like the extra money you had to pay anyway yeah let's uh let's talk about the best ways to play it because there's there's a few ways yeah there's a few ways to play

[00:57:30] the sega genesis to no one's surprise i definitely vouched for the um for the mr fpga but i guess at the end of the day the best way to play a sega genesis is on a fucking sega genesis you know what i mean and honestly yeah they're still dirt fucking cheap they're still very cheap the games are still pretty darn cheap i mean as long as you don't go for complete in box or anything like that just get like a a cartridge of fucking sonic the hedgehog they're like 10 bucks

[00:58:00] 10 20 bucks yeah you can get it for cheap if i i mean if i was to own me i'm not a collector but if i were to own a physical genesis i'd probably go get one of those uh ever drives and just have that loaded up with a bunch of stuff yep but yeah like i'm i mean at the end of the day the the real console is going to be the the way to play the console i would say that the this the next best thing would

[00:58:29] be a format of emulation through whether you're doing retro arc or on uh on the mr fpga that would be my preferred way to play just because it's super accurate i'm pretty sure that even retro arc like if you turn on some of the stuff on retro arc you're still gonna get the thing is though i will say and i noticed it once i started playing on a mr the sound the

[00:58:58] sound is like all these years i've been emulating like sega genesis it hasn't been the sound hasn't been quite right there's something about it like because of the accuracy of the the mr like it really really sounds the way it's supposed to be sounding and it does hit differently and maybe that's i like i have an ear for that kind of stuff but like yeah it's it's it's pretty it's pretty damn good i bet it sounds pretty great on one of

[00:59:28] those big ass console tvs too man one of those big old like fucking titanic tvs they're impossible to move but with one person unless you're unless you're arnold schwarzenegger i don't say that the worst way to play it is through nintendo's virtual console well i i say virtual console i mean i mean like their online service they're just running it through emulators themselves like they don't have any special magic to how they're running these things i mean

[00:59:57] even the the fork of their super nintendo emulator is like it's it's okay but it's like it's not even nearly as good as retro arc i feel like that's not the greatest way but i mean at the end of the day i always say hey play these games however way you can enjoy them however retro games should be available to everybody to enjoy at this point it's almost like history like yep you know

[01:00:27] at this point like you should just have access to this shit yeah man or you can get one of those minis and just mod them that'd be cool too they make a million different kinds of those like third party mini genesis things you'll see like dollar general and shit and those are kind of cool too but the it feels super fucking cheap like it feels like they they made it on a budget of ten dollars so like my my mom got me one for christmas i

[01:00:56] think one year then yeah it just feels super shoddy it plays fine but i have this switch online subscription and i'll play the genesis some sometimes like very rarely through switch online mostly because there's just not a lot there that i that i want to play because a lot of those i've played a million times like sonic played that a million times ristar fucking dynamite heady which by the way everybody should go

[01:01:26] play dynamite heady i really love that game they just they're releasing games like the slowest possible pace so yeah more often than not i'll play on my on my amber nick because i can just grab whatever the fuck game i want from our boy vim pop it in and then go right the hell down to it like i'll get to my hidden gem here in a minute but there's just there's so many great games that people don't know about that uh it's just so much fun to just

[01:01:56] dive into a console and do like gen sega genesis hidden gems and then find some game that like nobody talks about that's actually really really good my whole point with this is yeah just play however you want it but probably the best way for the sake of discovery is to just do fpga emulation via retro arc or whatever i uh i would say before we get into our hidden gems oh yeah we uh we take a little ad break a little breaky poo

[01:02:26] we'll be right back in a in a world full of uh crime and evil and uh all sorts of bad dudes i was trying to make it like a movie trailer but i suck at doing that shit super stegosaurus man he's the the next best thing in the marvel cinematic universe super stegosaurus man he's half man half stegosaurus he's fight during the day he's a normal guy you never had your ass

[01:02:55] kicked harder never by day he's a regular man toward the middle of the day he transforms into half man half stegosaurus and at the end of the day he's full stegosaurus but stegas sega stegosaurus full stegosaurus that midway point where he's like half man half stegosaurus it's extremely painful for him he hates every single second of it but once he's finally a stegosaurus it's cool it's fine his brain is is just as dull as a rusty

[01:03:25] knife but super stegosaurus man he really likes his lettuce stegosaurus stegosaurus were not carnivorous they were the herbivores omnivores i'm smoking on a blunt were they omnivores they're herbivores i'm pretty sure her yeah herbie goes to prison vores herbie is very into vore

[01:03:53] which is gross he um i don't know if you knew this or not but stegosaurus man super stegosaurus he has been super stegosaurus man has been convicted of a few different things but he vowed to change his life around and fight crime the thing is thank god he hasn't really fought anything yet because by

[01:04:23] the time the day rolls around and he turns into full stegosaurus he doesn't understand what crime is because he's a fucking stegosaurus and he just during the day he's like there's a motherfucking crime afoot and then halfway through the day he's like halfway he's like i really would like a salad all of a sudden i'm such a meat eater i don't understand and he looks at four legs he looks at one hand and it's like a normal hand then he looks

[01:04:53] at his other one and it's like a full stegosaurus hoof and he's like what is happening to me this is crazy i've got the sudden urge to to i've got the sudden urge to eat plants everywhere all kinds i don't know why i don't know why like marvel even approached him was like hey you want to like they for sure went up to him and was like you want to be the next x-men and then like some executive was like hey he's worthless during most of the day it doesn't fucking look at

[01:05:22] him he's a god he's a stegosaurus he doesn't know he doesn't know what the fuck's going on he knows plants he knows how to shit he knows how to growl that's it that's all he does that's what he knows he doesn't know about he doesn't know how to drive a fucking car like he can't he can't drive a car to save his life maybe in the daytime he can't jump he can't lift things he can't throw a shield or shoot a bow he's just a fucking stegosaurus

[01:05:52] speaking of ted you can't remember you can't remember those painful memories of your uncle ted when you're a stegosaurus with no brain the brain the brain the size of ten this is all just a this is all just a narrative for you to cope the super stegosaurus actually purges childhood memories so he just turns himself into a stegosaurus at night so he doesn't have

[01:06:22] to think about it all he has to do is just stegosaurus around the house his wife has to deal with it but she's like on the verge of collapse and she's like i can't do it anymore i can't i can't just be married to this dinos yeah and she's like i just can't i can't erin i can't deal with the stegosaurus stuff anymore man fucking

[01:06:52] ripping lettuce out of the fucking fridge just with my face stampeding around the backyard tied to a fucking stick just going around circles yeah fucking neighbors are like some fucking weird dog they got over there at the classes see their fucking cat out in the backyard that big green cat with the fucking bumps on it always talking about eating

[01:07:22] lettuce and fighting crime dude he's gonna be the next best next best thing just you wait man he's gonna have a whole love arc with black widow and they're gonna bug kinda god I hope it's between 9am and 12pm yeah exactly dude they're flying in the Avengers jet or whatever the fuck I don't know they're like oh god what time is it and it's like 7pm and they're like fuck we didn't put him in the cage

[01:07:52] and then he's just walking around into the cockpit he's like or whatever the fuck sound a stegosaurus would make I just assume it's a dude have you ever heard the sound the real sound of tyrannosaurus rex made no it's ridiculous look that shit up I bet a stegosaurus sounded just stupid it probably did dude definitely wasn't like definitely didn't sound like it wasn't Jurassic Park it was probably like we had some crazy fucking calling or some shit like because they were like I don't know

[01:08:22] that was just a giant fucking scaly turkey is all that is with some bumps on it because they were just birds they're birds man random dumb thought so humans are warm blooded dinosaurs are cold blooded do you think like during the day when he's a human he was like man the temperature in here is perfect and then like halfway through the day he's like going into anaphylactic shock just like shivering on the ground but then also like very

[01:08:51] hot so he's got like the cold sweats that you feel when you get like a flu yeah dude and then when he's a dinosaur he's just like I need a fucking sweater now but he's a dinosaur so he's like oh imagine if there's like

[01:09:25] to want to want to want a stegosaurus at night peg me like one of your dinos or whatever oh god anyway anyway thanks marvel and super stegosaurus man for sponsoring this episode put him in rivals by the way that'd be cool thank you for sponsoring this episode thank you back back back back back back all right yeah all right yeah we're back

[01:09:54] talking about them hidden gems each of us brought one hidden gem to this whole shebang because otherwise I mean we'd be here all day if we could pick like three or five yeah you go first you go first so as I was looking because when we were gonna like we were talking about doing this episode and a few days ago I was like you know like I'm sure there's there's like lists

[01:10:23] upon lists upon lists of hidden gems for the like all these retro consoles now there's hidden gem lists yeah and it's kind of the term itself has kind of like lost its like pizzazz for me because there's just like none of these things are really all that hidden anymore I mean there's like the very well-known hidden gems odd times you'll see like something mine is not something that's like super under the radar that people are gonna go

[01:10:53] I've never heard of it Crusader of Senti is a hidden gem for me because hell yeah I've heard about this game and I always kind of just was like I don't really want to play like I don't know that's just on Genesis but I threw this on a few days ago and I was kind of surprised by how fun it was it's not really like a Zelda clone it's kind of its own thing in a way

[01:11:23] but it's fun it's got cool it's got great graphics the music could be a little better it's not terrible but I kind of like it essentially what it is it's a top down game definitely it kind of resembles like a link to the past in a sense but at the same time it's its own thing I haven't even got that far yet but what I've played of it I actually quite enjoy the combat

[01:11:53] and I like how you can equip different things to the different buttons it's cool it's a cool little game I obviously you're gonna grab the Sonic games are we gonna grab like a vector man which I would say is not a

[01:12:28] hidden game and if there's people that have played it let us know because I'm curious if I should keep going it's not a very long game I

[01:13:08] centi and put your hands up I don't want to see you googling a goddamn thing I already know this one's expensive um are we going you said loose price let's see if you can guess that loose price 330 good guess nope $420 that's fucking for a loose copy of Crusader

[01:13:38] of centi and a complete price is $1384 and that's $1300 and $84 no sorry $1384 and 16 cents I don't know why who makes these fucking prices up that they gotta add cents where's my 16 cents you son of a bitch he pulls a gun the inflation

[01:14:08] because of the inflation we have to put 16 cents onto Crusader of centi wouldn't seem right if we just sold it under like if we weren't making margin on this copy of Crusader get get the fuck out of here with your fucking pretend ass prices we had it graded by the fucking FBI or whatever the fuck yeah we had it

[01:14:37] graded so it's actually $2100 and 14 cents you can't round it up you round it down I don't know shut up just shut up with your stupid made up pretend prices $1300 for a complete in box copy that's why it's crazy you know it's crazy I'm looking at this chart in 2008 the year of our Lord this game was worth $27

[01:15:07] what you want to tell yeah you want to tell me $85 but why why did this happen who who the fuck came out stood up on their fucking Sega Frankenstein box stood up on top of a 32x and was like hear ye hear ye I do declare that it

[01:15:49] this this is absurd maybe all the copies got bought up by like one person and they were like hey I'm gonna drive up the price and then they're gonna sell like hot cakes and then like I don't know something stupid like that eBay Crusader of Century Sega Genesis cartridge only 100% authentic guaranteed 399 99 no thank you nope go to Vim's layer ever drive fuck

[01:16:19] that good lord and again if you collect all the power to you I still think that's cool but I you know what I don't want to see my friends getting hosed by these fucking pretend collector prices and maybe I'm wrong I'm sure Mike is gonna tell me how wrong I prove me wrong

[01:16:48] it's actually very accurate that this copy of Crusader of Centi would actually really truly cost $716 in 2022 makes perfect sense yeah that oh man I'm ready for Mike to comment in the discord channel be like um actually Jerry wait you you only read the price charting price you didn't read the actual price via ebay click here and there

[01:17:18] yeah yeah yeah my hidden gem is one that's also pretty spendy I'm pretty sure if you bought a physical copy which I did not well how about you tell us what it is and then we'll play the game my fucking gem is musha it's I forget what it stands for already it's like militarized uniform something shithead asshole I don't know it's musha mega underappreciated shithead asshole

[01:17:47] yeah my game is musha it's a really good game let's play the fucking guessing game now all right for a loose copy of musha what do you think 420 plays it incorrect that's what crusader of centi was a loose copy of musha is 251 dollars still still what the hell it

[01:18:17] was 34 dollars in 2008 go figure I mean those were different times man I was a high school kid eating sugar sandwiches and shit sugar sandwich can I have a mayonnaise and sugar sandwich please mom can you make sure you put extra fruit roll-ups on there oh my god reminds me of fucking mr.

[01:18:47] d pizza rolls and undercooked chicken patties from fucking ted that can keep you going during school oreos and gumballs my favorite fucking or whatever the fuck that pizza was in mr. deeds maybe it was oreos and french fries you know what I don't I don't I don't enjoy nor do I appreciate bubble gum ice cream what the hell why would you do that why would you put like you've had a bubble gum ice cream right I've

[01:19:17] had it I don't mind it it's not my first pick ever but I

[01:20:05] off stuff like it's frozen yogurt jonathan it's supposed to be healthier and then they fucking load it up with kit kats I

[01:20:37] like they put four oreos and then like then they're like let's throw like a handful of gummy worms let's just throw that in there by the time it's over it's not even a fucking ice cream treat anymore it's goddamn it's just like it's a convenience store fucking bowl of slop is what that

[01:21:07] don't make sense call the day anyway Musha for the second genesis it's a really cool vertical shmup the whole aesthetic of the thing is that instead of being like space or whatever like thunder force and like every other shmup i don't know what japanese eras are what but it's like samurai era japan there's like japanese buildings and basically instead of like a spaceship you pilot this like this mech suit that resembles kind of a samurai

[01:21:37] every so often throughout levels there will be there's like three different kinds of power ups there's water fire and thunder and water gives you thunder gives you this cool like constant beam of energy that you can shoot out at enemies and then fire gives you these little cluster missiles and bombs that you

[01:22:22] like ron jeremy shit it's just a gigantic ass beam yeah it gets very girthy this gigantic beam the water one it goes from being like just from the most pathetic shit ever to this gigantic shield that's just annihilating anything that comes near you it's awesome and you also get there's also these little drones you can pick up that like the more you pick up they'll also upgrade

[01:22:52] your main weapons and that's another cool thing to see your main weapon which is just you shoot bullets but you also have your fucking secondary weapon which is like the fire and the electricity shit like the beam and you can just hold down the A and B buttons and just shoot both of those at the same time and you also have your little drones on whichever side and you can pick and

[01:23:22] forward with you constantly or shooting behind you and shit the bosses are fucking huge and they're really awesome and it's just one of those games where it's hard as fuck but once you learn like enemy patterns and placements and like where they're gonna go it's so much fucking fun I've never gotten past stage four because it's just such an asshole but it's it's fun man it's really good

[01:23:52] lately is that because with some of the mister stuff like they don't have save states and stuff yeah but what I've found is that like with mister and like retro arc has it too where like you can just get like the cheats and like turn on whatever so like because I have

[01:24:22] saturday morning and before I decided to totally fuck over my computer I decided I was going to play some more genesis before I

[01:24:52] hard so then I ended up just turning on infinite continues and I didn't have a save state function so I was

[01:25:22] stage four is so fucking hard man I really tried I think there's only like seven stages that's hitting gems yeah yeah well I guess it's that time right it is time it is that time yeah it's the it's folks and

[01:25:52] dogs and cats all of us stegosaurus uncle ted's uncle ted's poor ted's fucking red sock red sock ted we called him we didn't call him that I'm just joking holy shit it was just a really

[01:26:22] really long episode of star trek anyway uh random recommended games this week Aaron I was just talking about how using cheats is the way you know there would be no possible way for me to even come remotely close to beating this game

[01:26:52] without them Hagane have you heard of Hagane I know I've seen the cover art somewhere but this is this is the fabled game that was apparently a blockbuster exclusive game which was later debunked that was debunked oh um it was not a exclusive game to blockbuster block I think like blockbuster had like exclusive rights for like a bit

[01:27:21] of time or something I don't know but it was like there was nothing it no that was bullshit that said you want to guess you want to just guess what a loose copy of Hagane the final conflict goes for on the Super Nintendo my hands are up I'm uh I'm gonna go with 500 yeah you're 500 to less it's fucking a thousand dollars thousand

[01:27:51] sixteen to be exact for a loose copy of this game complete price is damn near three thousand dollars oh I about threw up three thousand god three thousand um that said this game is really fucking good it's not three thousand dollars good I would just go pop like just go just go download this game yeah from somewhere it's uh it's incredibly difficult and I mean

[01:28:21] like like the kind of difficulty that like ninja gaiden for nes introduced like it is very difficult but god damn it is it a good game it is so good it has like such a robust like move set and stuff that you can do in the game like there's a lot

[01:29:12] of like that's the thing like you can jump in the air and do like a spinning like forward it's like a double jump but like instead of double jumping you just jump and then spin forward so like you jump here and then you go like across the screen and it's so precise like it's at the peak of the jump you

[01:30:12] end ninja god black after and i loved it and immediately started ninja god into like right away and i've just been on like this kick of like yeah man give me all those hard ninja games and this is one of them like this is very much like that and the thing was too we had just have you ever heard of i always butcher the name i think it's called vengeful guardian moon rider have you

[01:30:42] heard of this game no i don't think so so it's by the same people that 16 bit kind of fat well onikim was almost like a like an 8 bit one but they usually do like a 16 bit kind of look and yeah they did one called

[01:31:12] vengeful guardian moon rider and after we finished that game and i was like man we should throw in like this hagani game i've always wanted to play it and i've like thrown it on on emulators like years and years and years ago but it was always so hard like i was just like there's no way i could play this and when we threw it on we were like holy shit this is just like this vengeful guardian moon rider game like this is very very similar but it's from

[01:31:41] like i don't know what 1994 something i think this game came out but i would uh i would recommend it that's why i'm throwing it out here for for the folks out there that like a like a good hard challenge good hard challenge what about you what you got i know we just swore off open world games in the last episode but uh i tried out i seen this and i was like i just i'll just on a whim i tried out

[01:32:11] avowed because it's supposed to it's it's this big gigantic game from obsidian the people that made um i mean a million other games but the one i know the most is fallout new vegas and i love that game but yeah avowed it's it's like skyrim but a little bit more we were talking about in that in an episode where we swore off open world games we're talking about how the more like compact and like concentrated uh like

[01:32:51] grand theft auto five it's a little bit more compact and it's a little bit more segmented off but there's a lot of attention to detail like everything feels handcrafted and pretty much any anywhere anywhere you see on the map you can just go to it and explore and it's it's almost

[01:33:21] around and like just jump on ledges and pull yourself up and sprint and run and jump and shit and it's oh really yeah i threw it on today actually just briefly when i got my pc back up and running i uh i was like yeah let me let me just throw this on real quick just to just to test it out i just made like a character but i opted out of looking like you know like an ascended clicker from the last of us i didn't want like plants growing out of my face so i was like

[01:33:51] no it gets so much better right out like after that after you get to like the first city it gets really good there's there's so much customization to your character that you can do

[01:34:21] like you're not tied to one specific like class or play style i know you can kind of do that same shit in skyrim and shit but you can you can basically pick and choose different skills that you want in like the fighter the wizard or the like ranger skill trees because you can have two loadouts at any time i have one where it's just like this two-handed unique axe that gives me health back whenever i murder something

[01:34:50] which is all the time because the axe does humongo damage and knocks everybody's bodies 50 yards that way whenever i swing it oh man it really is i'm just bopping gigantic grizzly bears on the head and their bodies just go flying that way like 40 yards and and then my other loadout a big thing in this game is unique weapons which are basically just like enchanted weapons that have cool

[01:35:20] special unique properties i got this one i have a one-handed sword that does a shit ton of fire damage and a dagger that does fire damage so i'm basically slashing and poking shit to death while it's on fire putting it even more on fire and yeah the world is big lots to explore but it's not too big anything you see you can get to and explore and it's a really cool game man it's really cool hell yeah it's on game pass go check it out check avowed out and check hagani out
