[00:00:00] My nose is so fucking stuffed. I'm gonna be out of breath this whole fucking episode, I feel like. Breathe, my guy, breathe. I'm trying, I can't breathe through my nose. I dress myself with Zyrtec all day. Do you know the blowing your nose trick? Where you blow your nose? Where you plug your ears? This feels like a trick. It's not! This feels like a dirty Jerry trick. You can try to trick me into something. I'm like a fucking jester.

[00:00:30] I'm just constantly like tricking you into doing shit. You've done this before. You're always like, hey, have you ever heard of piss? Dude, if you straddle the toilet, if you sit down and piss into the toilet, but like while sitting down straddling it the opposite way, it just, it's so much more comfortable. And Aaron would be like, fuck. Yeah, cause boys don't use the bathroom like that. That's right. They can. Oh, they can? Dude. Mind blowing. I have. Don't think I haven't straddled a toilet before. You are already dead.

[00:01:01] What? What? What a do everybody. My name's Aaron. I need a classic Arby's roast beef sandwich. Like I need 15 bullets in the skull. And I'm Jerry and the carpet does match the drapes and the hardwood matches this episode. Ew. And you're listening to Super Pod Saga.

[00:01:32] Hey everybody. Hey, this is Super Pod Saga. It's the greatest collaboration of all time. Welcome back. For any of you first time listeners. First of all, thank you for listening. I love you. But also, hey Jerry and I. Thanks for coming back after a lot of the things that we've said. Thank you for showing back up. Yeah. If you're back here again. Like the practical video game or practical video game weapons use episode, whatever that was. That was a hoot. If you came back after that, holy shit. Thank you for coming back. Yeah.

[00:02:01] I mean, if you came back after like pretty much when I joined this. Thank you. If you didn't dip out then. Thank you so much. In case you're wondering what this all is. Jerry and I were on a quest to discuss every single goddamn video game topic in existence week by week. This week, there is no topic. We're just living in the void. We're diving everything first into the void. Sometimes these are my favorites. You know, we just. Just bullshit. And there's.

[00:02:31] And bullshit. It's basically like a. It's like a therapy session for me. Boy, tell me how you feel. Oh, and there's a lot of catch up on too. I've got. I've got a lot of cool shit to talk about. I'm sure our guest does. I'm sure Jerry does. But before we get into that, listeners, why don't you just do us a solid check out SuperPodSaga.com. All of our stuff is there. All the links, socials, episodes, Patreon. It's all there. It's two or four dollars a month. I'm the Patreon, not the website.

[00:03:01] Go to the pit. The website's free. But you should start charging for the website. Just to look at the website. Yeah, it's hard for the website. 50 cents per click. Oh, oh, it's beautiful. Dude, we should have like a thing on the website that's like a porn site where it's like, are you 18? And then like when people get in there and it's just like some video game site and they're like, oh, fuck. Oh, man. I thought this was porn. Video game porn. We love it. SuperPodSaga.boner.

[00:03:33] . . . . . . I'm excited for like two weeks. .

[00:04:05] . . . . . All right. Well, my name is Slonko.

[00:04:33] You can call me Bomb, Bomb, Bombalesca, La Bomba. I have so many nicknames. Nice. They call me Nintendo Mama. I don't know. It's weird. I like it. I like it. All right. Well, I'm basically a variety streamer on Twitch. It's twitch.tv slash SL0NK0B0MB. I'm also on Blue Sky where I just yap it up about anything and everything I want to. So you're free to follow me there. I love retro games, modern games with retro ties. Yeah. I love platformers so much.

[00:05:02] I can't wait to talk about that today. We just became best friends. Are we friends? Oh, yeah. You were in my brain earlier. So, yeah, I think we're good. I'm comfortable. Yeah. But yeah, it's really nice to meet you. And again, thanks for having me. Absolutely. I feel like I've been following you on Blue Sky for a really long time. Yeah, we've been following each other for a long time. I don't remember what it was. Has Blue Sky been around a long time? Yeah, you're late, buddy.

[00:05:32] Really? Like three years, I think. Oh, wow. Yeah. There was like a time where there was literally like not too much happening. And then I guess because of the crap happening on X, people just like ventured over the Blue Sky. All right. All right. All right. All right. You said it? Yeah. It was the Elon Musk like Trump stuff. Not to get too into it, but Elon just sucks. He ran that site into the ground. And that was when I was like, no.

[00:06:02] He can lick the entire length of my dick. That guy. I'm glad I know where we stand. All right. Awesome. Yeah. Fuck that guy. Fuck that man's face in particular. He just like has a fucking slappable looking face. He really does. I'm like, I just, I just hate watching him talk. And he's just like, and then he's like a fucking robot. Jerry, please.

[00:06:31] Fuck that man. So yeah. So now we're in Blue Sky and we're having a great time. And yeah, it's so great. Yeah. The vibes are immaculate. You can literally talk about anything without. You can disagree, of course, but you can literally talk without like being attacked or doxxed or whatever the case may be. Yeah. It's great. And big mind blower. You can block people on Blue Sky and they can't view your tweets like they can on X. Yeah. That's pretty awesome.

[00:06:59] So I think that was the deal breaker for me. Yeah. I didn't realize that the dude that made Twitter, the original dude is the guy that made Blue Sky. Oh, is it? Oh, I didn't know that. Yeah. I heard that. I don't know. I don't know if it's true. It is. What's his name? Jack. Jack Dorsey. Jack Dorsey. There we go. Yeah. Yeah. He is. All of our first time guests.

[00:07:27] When we bring them on, we always ask them the same question every single time. And that is, what is your favorite video game memory? Just like mom used to make. Oh, yeah. I have actually quite a bit of them. But I guess keeping with the void topic or whatever topic it is. So I come from an era where we used to buy video games from Toys R Us. And there used to be like a slip system. I'm sure you guys are very, very aware of it. I've heard of it. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Well, this is showing my age clearly.

[00:07:55] So we would always go to Toys R Us and you never used to buy video games like every day like we do now, like the plethora of games available now is like so insane. But back then you would buy games like when, you know, it's like a birthday or you got like a Easter, Easter, whatever. St. Patrick's Day. Because mom and dad had a little bit too much to drink. Yeah. You know, you circle what you want in the magazine or the catalog and you go. So I remember going to Toys R Us. Yeah. Catalogs like finger hot and shit.

[00:08:23] So anyway, see what I went to Toys R Us one day and I mean, I, it was just because, and I was looking at the games and there was a game that I had no idea what it was about, but it had Tetris in the title. So I was like, oh, okay, this has got to be great. And I see Yoshi on the cover. I'm like, okay, we know him. That's cool. So I picked that up, had no idea. It was one of the cheapest games that was available at the time. I buy it. And basically this started a full fledged addiction to Tetris attack.

[00:08:53] Tetris attack. Oh my God. Yes. So fucking good. So yeah, there, I became a sweaty player overnight. I still play the game till this day. I had clubs, Tetris attack paneled upon clubs growing up. I thought it was so bad, but like, I just had no idea. Like this was not Tetris, but it was, but kind of not. Um, so it was just one of my favorite memories that I just had no idea what the game actually

[00:09:22] was, but it just became something so big, which is why again, I love Super Nintendo. So, so fucking much. So I think that's like one of the core memories growing up that I just love so much. That's a good ass memory. That is a good ass memory. I was like, fine, fuck it. Let's just get this one. And then I'm like, holy shit, this is like the greatest. I do remember like really liking going into like Toys R Us. Uh, we had, um, we had other department stores too.

[00:09:49] Like we had like Kmart and Zellers and shit here in Canada. Um, but like Toys R Us, I do remember that being a thing, but like the thing that I remember the most was, I mean, Christmas time was like the hall. Like you might get, you might get two games for Christmas. God forbid if there's a new console and you get that shit. You get a console and a game, bro. Holy fuck. Holy fuck. That was, that was like, those are the best days of my life, man.

[00:10:18] Just like getting, and like as a stupid dumb kid, like I, I remember like getting that wish, like the fucking wish book, the Sears wish book. Hell yeah. And you just be like, and I want that one. And I want that one. And I want that one. And I want that one. And then like, obviously like as a kid, you're like Santa's going to try his best. But my parents are like, fuck this kid. Who the fuck does this kid think he is? Like fucking 20 games.

[00:10:47] No, we're getting you Mario's missing and you can get fucked. Oh man. That's awesome. Or they buy you that one fucking, uh, that one Yoshi game that you need the mega blaster thing for. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And I get at home and I'm like getting frustrated cause I can't do anything in it. And, or no, they didn't buy that for me. I rented that. Oh yeah. Yeah. I rented it from blockbuster cause I was like a Yoshi game.

[00:11:16] And like, I didn't, I was just like sweet brought it on, brought it on. It didn't even show anything to do with the gun or anything on the, on the. So I bring it home and then like, I'm complaining to my mom. I'm like, this game is broken. And she's like, she's like, what do you mean? And I'm like, it doesn't work. Nothing. Like there's nothing happening in this game. And then she calls blockbuster and she's like, Hey, this game's like busted or something. And they're like, well, that's on you.

[00:11:44] And she's like, my kid can't play the game. So he's like, well, bring it back, I guess. So bring it back. And there was like some other kid there and he's like, like a teenager, I think. And he's hearing us talking about like how this game doesn't work. He's like, well, you need the gun. I was like, what gun? And he was like, you need the super scope. And that's when I learned about the super scope. I didn't even know it existed. Oh yeah, super scope rocks.

[00:12:10] And I didn't, I didn't get to use a super scope because I, I did not get to use it then because blockbuster did not have them. And that's a total scam. But why I don't, they had like a bunch of super scope games and they just didn't have the super scope. That's you think that you could rent that thing too, but like, Nope. Um, so yeah, it wasn't, it wasn't until like I was a teenager that I actually got to use a super scope. Like just went over to a friend's house one time and he was just like, had it out.

[00:12:39] And I was like, is that a fucking super? Like, that's just something that you like, just get it in his belt loop. Like keys, wallet, super scope. Exactly. Damn. That's cool. I actually knew someone that had it. I never knew anyone that had it growing up at all. Yeah. I think the first game that I got to play was, um, the one with the max. Like it's, it's like you're fighting these max and shit. Yeah. Um, I always forget what the name is.

[00:13:08] I think it's just called like super scope six or something. It perhaps, I, it does sound very familiar. I am not very versed on a super scope. I have, I've only held one. I've never played any games with it. Yeah. I think it's called super scopes. Oh no. Battle clash. Battle clash. That's what it was. Yeah. That's awesome. Battle clash. That was, that was real good. What? I didn't know that you could use the super scope on Mario paint. This is new news to me. Holy fuck. You shoot the paint at the fucking canvas. Dude.

[00:13:38] Now that the switch to now that with the mouse, they got to bring back. They got to bring back. I'm hoping so much. Yes. At least bring it to like the virtual, like their online thing. Like, so that it's like, no, you can play Mario paint with this. Like that would be insane. Right? Like they have to. And, and translate the one on N64 with the super sick ambient soundtrack. Oh, huh? Oh, dude.

[00:14:07] Mario paint studio. That soundtrack is. Oh yeah. That was, that was for the D that was for the DD, right? What? Was it really? I think so. Cause I don't think it ever came out. Did it? That was indeed the DD actually. Yeah. Holy Christ. And Jerry, one point. Aaron, give me points, please. That's a, I think that about brings us in. Yeah. That'll do for the episode. Thank you guys so much for having me. Goodbye. Goodbye. Shortest episode to date.

[00:14:38] Just talking about the super scope real quick. The super scope. Man, that's a good idea though guys. For a short episode. We're just light. We should just do a light gun games episode one of these days. Oh yeah. Yeah. Cabela's big game hunter. It's the best. You know, we'd probably have to get Anthony back on for that video game esoterica. We'd probably have to get him back on cause he's like the light gun master. That'd be good. Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, super important breaking news. Jerry, I'm here on site.

[00:15:07] I'm live on the scene and I don't know how to start this off, but other than the Louvre is going to stop renting out the 3DS Louvre guide game things, little cartridges. What is this? What is this? What? Wait, wait, wait. That was an era? What happened there? What's happening? I don't even know what this is. If you go to the Louvre, which is the, it's the French museum where the Mona Lisa and shit Like where the Mona Lisa is? Yeah. Right next to the Mona Lisa. Yeah.

[00:15:35] You can, you can rent out a copy of, uh, of Louvre guide, which is like, it's like a, it's like a 3DS cartridge. You can pop into your 3DS and it's like an audio guide to the Louvre. And it tells you like you plug in your headphones, of course. And it tells you stuff about, uh, what you're seeing at the Louvre. And it's like, it goes for a lot of fucking money on eBay because you're, you're, you're not supposed to take them home from the Louvre.

[00:16:04] You just rent them. But people of course steal them and sell them online for a lot of fucking money. Um, but yeah, after, after nearly like 10, maybe 13 years or so of being at the Louvre, they're finally not doing that shit anymore. So yeah. RIP. I'm going to replace it with a new and updated, uh, Dr. Kawashima's train your brain. Remember that? We'd be like, how is your brain?

[00:16:33] And you play it and be like, oh, I guess I am like a million years. Yeah. Your brain is as smooth as an apple. Yeah. Fuck you. Dr. Kawashima for pointing that out. Maybe they'll put a super scope, uh, exhibition next to it. Oh my God. That'd be sick. Well, I mean, you can't steal that. Come on. Well, it's only a matter of time. So some idiots go in there and throw like fucking tomato soup all over it and be like, we're at a protest.

[00:17:02] I'm trying to imagine someone trying to smuggle a super scope into the Louvre. If it's like crap, he hidden under their shirt. You see, you'd very clearly see the outline of it against their like white wife beater. They got, they got two of like, they got two zappers, the orange zappers. Oh, hell yeah. And they're like, yeah. Who wants to die? And they're like, get the fuck out. I'm crying. It should be done. It should be done. Raggle in a wee remote around. Like it was a lightsaber.

[00:17:35] Yeah. Oh, I totally just learned something new. See, that's why I brought my notebook. I told you I was going to bring my notebook to take down notes. I didn't know the Louvre had that. Yeah. It's really stupid. I don't think anybody has the three years anymore. So it's about time they started doing this. I have my three DS somewhere around here. I do. It's actually a super designed. Yeah. Oh, you got the super. Yeah. I wanted to get that so bad. And now it doesn't like doesn't exist unless like people are charging like $700 for them. I'm so sorry.

[00:18:04] Dude, they made this really fucking sick lime green one that came with a copy of Super Mario World and I wanted it so bad. It's so expensive. Oh man. How much is it going for now? Like 500 bucks. Fuck. Way too much for me. Yep. Yeah. That's crazy. That's crazy. Back to you, Jerry. Uh, well, I got a little bit of something.

[00:18:29] So it only occurred to me yesterday because I, I, I got my switch to preorder. I have the thing paid off. Oh, congratulations. Payed it in full. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Um, so I, as I'm like, I went there to pay off the balance. Cause I like, I threw a whole bunch down, like just to hold it at the GameStop. And then I went back like last week and was like, all right, I'm just going to pay up the balance.

[00:18:57] Cause I just want to walk in on launch day or the midnight launch or whatever they're doing. And I just want to go, please hand me my switch to like put my hands out. Like I'm receiving the body of Christ. Yeah. Like it's communion. Yeah. I got my, I'm like some old lady with my tongue. I like, uh, like please, please give me my switch to on my tongue. Instead of a wafer, they give you a switch to virtual. Oh man. I'm going to have a hand of church every Sunday, man. Let's go.

[00:19:27] No, that wouldn't be enough for me to get there again. Um, but I was debate like, I mean, I, I liked the look of the switch to pro controller. And I was like, do I really need it though? Like because the switch pro controller works on switch too. Oh, which is, which is fine. Like great. Yeah. And like, there's some slight differences for the switch to pro controller. And I'm sure it's like marginally better.

[00:19:55] It has that C button, which. Oh yeah. For the camera for, yeah. For like the basically Nintendo discord. Yeah. Their discord thing. Yeah. Um, which is cool, whatever. But I was still like, yeah, I don't, I don't know if I necessarily need that. And then I read that the switch one pro controller can't wake the system. No, that's kind of a deal break. That's fucked.

[00:20:24] And I was like, what? Like, are you fucking kidding me? Like, wait, wait, wait. So you're saying, wait, so the controllers are interchangeable, right? I can use my switch one controller with the switch two, right? Correct. It works totally fine, but you can't sit on your couch. Like you're in a Nintendo commercial and then pick up a controller, press the home button and turn it on. It does not. It won't do it. And turn. To get up and push the power.

[00:20:52] And then like, like a fucking heathen. Nintendo. God damn. God damn. Fuck. Fuck. And yeah, as soon as I learned that, I was like, well, now I gotta get a fucking switch pro too. Cause $90 too. Why? Yeah. Why? They're a hundred and fucking like 20 bucks here in Canada. Surely there's a way to make that work.

[00:21:17] Like for fucks that you can use an Xbox one controller on the series X or S and hold down the Xbox button to power it on just fine. Like there's gotta be a way to make it work. Nantanda. Come on. No, I don't. We knew this was going to happen. I didn't know that. That's, that's some bullshit to be honest. Like that just makes you bought want to, well, want to buy a switch two controller. And that's exactly how it fucking worked for me.

[00:21:46] Cause I was like, well shit, I guess. But the, the shitty thing is now those pro controllers are like fucking sold the fuck out. Like God, there's like none to be pre-ordered. Oh my gosh. I didn't expect that. The dude at GameStop said that they got a lot of like, he said the allocation for the Mario Kart bundle is like out of control. Like he said, it's like the most he's ever seen.

[00:22:15] And even then Nintendo was like, yeah, we, we, we like really wanted to make sure that there was going to be a lot of these. And now we don't know if there's enough. Cause it, I seen an article saying that, uh, from Bloomberg saying that this is going to be the biggest console launch in history. Oh shit. Like ever. It's already like breaking records.

[00:22:42] That's wild considering so many people are just so pissed off about it. Yeah. And I was like, no one's going to buy this system. No one's going to pay this money. It's like, shut the fuck up. Sit down. Aaron, did you get one? No, I tried and gave up very quickly. Yeah, I tried. I'm sad. I'm happy for you, Jerry, but I want one too. I'm guessing you get angry. We are all going to have to play Mario cart together. Hell yeah. That's what I'm trying to do on day one, but don't like me.

[00:23:10] I think I talked too much shit about Nintendo for, for them. So good. But yeah, I, I, I am like pretty stoked for that Mario cart. I'm really excited for that donkey Kong. I'm like, I am very, very excited for Metroid prime four because I'm going to set my switch up at this desk and I'm going to play that with the fucking switch mouse.

[00:23:34] Cause we've never been able to play a Metroid game or the Metroid prime games like with a mouse. Yeah. That's like the dream. A first person shooter with a mouse. Like of course, it's going to be fucking crazy. And all that said, all of that said, none of these games I don't think are going to be able to top Claire obscure because I think Claire is my fucking. I'm pretty sure this game is my game of the year. I don't give a fuck.

[00:23:59] Like Metroid is going to have to make my entire fucking head explode at a family dinner in order for this to top. Why am I getting a family dinner? Why the fuck not in front of mama and papa? It's just, it needs to be a statement, you know? Cause like right now, dude, this Claire obscure game is like, it shouldn't exist. It's that good.

[00:24:35] Oh, what's that fucking dance with like the cha-cha slide right into the void? I don't want to do the cha-cha slide. Can we do something else? Do it! Just do the, fine. We're just going to the void. We're there. Are you happy now, Jerry? No, I want to, I want to do a dance. I just don't like the cha-cha slide. Which dance do you like though? The chicken dance. I don't know. I kind of like that one that Ray gun does. Who the fuck is that? I don't know. Oh, that's the Australian break dancer. Yeah.

[00:25:01] Just fucking get on the ground and just start like, yeah, just get on the ground and just start like kicking my feet. She like, she literally did like a Homer Simpson, like just, she did that and thought maybe I'll win. I mean, we know who she is now, so I guess she won. I mean, that happened. Fucking all these other motherfuckers like Jabberwocky and shit over there doing backflips and shit. And she's like, check, check this shit out.

[00:25:31] Check this out. Oh God. Claire Obscura is so fucking good. Hello Segway. Dude, man, please no spoilers. I am, I need to get it. I need to get it so bad. It's all game. Just get Game Pass. Buy a month at Game Pass. I know, just, oh God. I wanted a physical copy of it, but I don't think they're available. That's fair. I'm pretty sure they are. I think it did. Are they? Yeah, I think it did.

[00:25:59] I've seen, holy shit, I've seen a lot for PS5 all over Blue Sky and ship. Okay, yeah. That's what that needs to happen. Let it be known. Let it be known. This, in my opinion, is probably the best RPG I've played in about 15 years. Why? Maybe more. Why? Why? Because it's literally taking everything that I love from a lot of different games.

[00:26:29] Take it away, Jerry. Go, Jerry. It's like, okay. I always like to think of these things like, if I'm going to recommend this, like a game to somebody, I always think about like, okay, well, you know, for you example, I would say you're wearing a Zelda shirt and you have a bunch of Kirby stuff. So I'm like, okay, I could definitely recommend you something where I'm like, if you like A Link to the Past, you would like Tunic. If you like Kirby, you would love Fallen Leaf.

[00:26:57] Like stuff, stuff like that, that I'm like, if you like this game, then you'll like this game. This RPG is like, hey, do you like Super Mario RPG? Do you like Secret of Mana? Do you like fucking Dark Souls? Do you like Sekiro? Do you like Shin Megami Tensei? Yeah, do you like Asana? It's like, it's insane how many things it's marrying up.

[00:27:24] Like it's got timed hits, which I've been saying my whole life ever since Mario RPG, which is still one of my favorite games of all time. Same. I've been saying it forever. Like, man, timed hits in turn-based games are amazing. And every single time. Or Boy Tricky agrees too. Yeah. Like timed hits are just so cool because it's a turn-based game, but then it feels more action oriented. And then on top of that, you've got these insane parries and dodging. Oh yeah, I've been seeing those.

[00:27:53] And like, if, like once you get into a rhythm in this game and like you start to learn like a lot of the tells with like the enemies and like when to parry and like it's easier to dodge than it is to parry. So then like you get used to dodging first and once you can like get the perfect dodges and you're like, okay, I think I got the rhythm for doing this. And then like, then there's like group parries where like if something is attacking all of

[00:28:17] the party and you parry it perfectly like in succession, it's like a full like slow-mo all three of your party members just doing a parry attack. And it's, oh yeah, it's the style. Like I think for a long time and I mean metaphor had a cool style, but it's like games have not had like that much of a style as much as like persona five.

[00:28:46] Like I remember playing persona five and me like wow, this has like its own thing going on. Like it's just like the menus and like the music and just like the style. Yeah, the style of that game. This game blows that shit out of the water in my opinion. Wow. It's got like it's it's like so original feeling like the storyline is absolutely insane. It's bonkers as fuck, especially if you're in like dark shit.

[00:29:15] Like it's it's so cool. Within 15 minutes of playing this game. You're like, oh, oh, this is I was this is a bummer. Yeah, this is a bummer. And then it's like the next five minutes. You're like, what the fuck was this? Like I just basically watched saving private Ryan in an RPG. It is fucked. It pops off so quick.

[00:29:42] And I am so one thing about the way that I digest games and media. I'm very much like a surface level kind of like taking the information in and like my co-host on Super Ghost Beth. She is like a deep dive like she she'll pause a game and just be like, hmm. Hmm. And like think about like so many things and like she ties a lot of like deeper things and like metaphors and stuff like that together. I'm very surface level.

[00:30:09] I also like if if you were to be like, hey, did you play Tales of a Rise of like? Yeah, I did. Did you like it? Yeah, it was pretty good. Who's your favorite character? I don't remember single goddamn name from that game. Like I don't remember any of the characters. I don't remember the villain. I don't remember the plot. Nothing. I don't remember liking that game, but I came away from it like cool next this game within 20 minutes. I'm like, I hope everyone in this party lives to see the best days of their lives.

[00:30:39] Like I am so attached to all of these characters. You know the names their middle names their surnames their dog names. It's so good. It's so good. Aaron. How are you feeling about it? I want it so bad convince me convince me to buy it like after this. I hope we already have you. If you don't buy it by the end of this episode, I'll buy it for well. I shouldn't say that because I don't want to go broke. No, no, go ahead. I was going to say that shit's 50 bucks, which is actually pretty amazing comparatively to other games.

[00:31:09] Yeah, to a lot of other games. Yeah. And it's one of the I looked up on some website how long the game is to beat and it's not too long at all. It's maybe like 40 hours, which is like. What did you say? You looked it on the website. How long is the game to beat? No, I almost said I almost looked up on how long to be, but I think it was on Game Spot. I just went to Google. I typed in how long is Claire obscure? And then Game Spot said, oh, 30 hours at this point at all. That's perfect.

[00:31:38] Yeah, this point we do have how long to beat stats because it's not long enough. Yeah, main story is 25 and a half hours. Main plus size is 35 hours completionist is 55 and a half. What a beautiful. I mean, even completionist is not bad at all. Exactly. Like I don't need. Okay, here's two things I don't need. I don't need giant fucking open worlds anymore, even though like I'm excited for Mario Kart. But this game's open world is fucking sick.

[00:32:07] Like it's a it's got a fucking world map. There's a world map. It's you walk around on like chrono trigger. That's cool. That's so fucking cool. I'm still impressed about the 50 hours. You know, these days I don't have time right now. Exactly. Exactly. I'm still playing Persona 5. I'm a hundred hours in and I'm still half way. Still game. Still. Still slogging through. It's like, God damn. I need a game that I can actually like complete. And I would love to like complete everything. Find everything. That'd be dope. 50 hours.

[00:32:37] That's nothing. I mean, I, I, I played metaphor. And the only reason I was able to play that game from start to finish is because I had fucking surgery and I had to be laid up. So I was like, well, I guess this is as good a time as I need to play this game. And I sunk 120 hours into that game. And that game was like fucking 30 hours too long. God damn. Really? Listen, I'm waiting for that one to go on sale. So it's good. Like it is a good game.

[00:33:04] I just, the last 30 hours of that game was like, all right, can we fucking wrap this up already? Like, come on. And that's the thing about Claire obscure is there's not any fluff. There's no padding. It's very like to the point. And like, it does reward you for poking around. I like to poke around just, you know, like, but it's not like, yeah. And it's like just the right amount of poking around. Yeah.

[00:33:33] They'll give you like journals from the previous expeditions. You'll find out about that. Oh my God. Some of those are so funny. Yeah. Listening to like different things that they've tried. Did you get to the one where they like, they, they like got lost and they started eating the fucking Nevrons. Did you know that one yet? No, there's one where it was like, I told them, I told him this was a bad idea. Of course we shouldn't eat the Nevrons. I like, I told them so many times.

[00:34:01] And of course they started puking, puking their guts up. Like I told them so many times. So now I have gone out and I've, I've gathered some mushrooms. We're going to have some mushroom tea to maybe settle our stomach. And then it's like, that's where it cuts off. And the, the, the thing where you're standing is just like this crazy mushroom thing with like dead bodies, like sticking out of it. And it's like, Oh, okay. Well that's how they died. Oh, damn. And the combat has so many fucking layers to it too, which I love.

[00:34:30] I love really, well, not really complex, but like I love a complex enough combat system with lots and lots of layers to it. Like, let me tell you, skies of Arcadia is an awesome game, but the combat system is really fucking boring. I really don't like the combat system in that game. Everything else about it is awesome. Whereas Claire obscure do the combat is like, there's, oh, it's Perry's counters, gradient counters, jump counters.

[00:34:59] Your characters all have cool, awesome passive abilities. You can build your characters with different. Did you get the gradient attacks yet? Not attacks yet. No, just got those this morning. Oh, damn, man. You're ahead of the game. And I got, I got, I think I got the, the last party member too. Nice. How far are you into it, Aaron? Uh, I think like maybe 20 hours. Okay. Not bad. Yeah. Works, works been a real son of a bitch.

[00:35:26] So I haven't had a lot of time to hear that. I hear that. I hear that. No, that's so fucking cool. Yeah. Everyone's talking about this game nonstop. I, I, I, I went to GameStop. I was like, oh, maybe I should just stop by and see if they have a copy. But I check it out. Regret. This game is going to win game of the year. Mark. Goody. Damn. It's going to win. It shouldn't exist, man. It shouldn't exist. Like ahead of its time, huh? It's just like so many.

[00:35:54] And like the cast of voice actors too. It's like, Jesus Christ. Like there's so many good voice actors in this game. Um, I'm also 19 hours in right now. Yeah. Maybe, maybe I'm like, just a, I'm just ahead of you. I think. I think it's pretty cool too. Like it was only about like 30 people that worked on this game. Yeah. So it's, it's 30 people. Some of them are, uh, ex Ubisoft. Oh, okay.

[00:36:23] Um, they did outsource for like, um, the music, which is wild. Apparently SoundCloud. SoundCloud. Yeah. They were like, oh, Hey dude, your music is really cool. Do you want to work on this game? And he was like, sure. And it's like one of the dude, the, the soundtrack to this game is insane. Insane. Aaron. Here is people put your shit out there. You just never. Yes. My shit's on there. Come find me. Okay.

[00:36:53] Come find me on SoundCloud. I'll do your game. Um, Aaron, did you do the boss fight on the bridge? On the bridge? I don't think so. No, where the, where the bridge collapses. Spoilers. I don't think so. No, I'm trying to keep it as vague as possible. Cause that boss is something fucking else, dude. I got to watch. I got to watch my buddy play a lot.

[00:37:19] I went to my buddy's house last night and he was like, I had just done that yesterday afternoon and he was like, just getting to that point. And I was like, dude, I want to watch you play this game right now. And we both got fucking high and just watch this. Like I was watching this game. Like, man, but actually, no, I wasn't watching the game. I was doing the weird thing where I'm just watching him and just being like, is it crazy? Is it crazy? Wait, can you see this part? Can you see this part?

[00:37:49] Isn't that crazy? Oh yeah. Yeah. That's bad. I do that with movies too. I don't know if you guys do that. Yeah. I used to do that. Oh my God. When you like, you're like, you got to see this fucking movie. Yeah. See this part right here. Just wait right here. And you just watch, watch the reaction. Like a fucking creep. I wish I could do that. If it's a movie, I know really. You wish you can, you could physically do it. It's not even that hard. If it's a movie that I know really, really well, I'm going to quote it the entire time.

[00:38:16] Like, like, right as soon as the movie boots up, I'm like, it's nudie magazine day. And then it's just, it's all downhill from there. I'm like that with no one. I'm like, I'm the forest. The forest is with me. I'm one with the forest. I love this movie so much. Do you guys, do you guys talk during movies? It depends. If it's the first, if it's the first time I'm watching the movie, then no. If it's the first time someone else is watching the movie, then no.

[00:38:46] If we've both seen the movie, yes. It's fair. Unless it's the monkey because I lost my shit at like every scene. Oh yeah, that was good. Yeah. Yeah. I, I don't know. I'm, I've kind of started disliking going to the movie theaters. Cause like. I love going to the movies. I mean, I love it too. Like I really do love going to the theater, but like ever since COVID happened, it's like, did everybody forget how to fucking act in public? Like.

[00:39:16] Did you see how people were acting during the Minecraft movie? Yeah. Did you see that? Oh my God. They were being real obnoxious, dude. Yeah. People would just scream chicken jockey and like throw popcorn on their shirt. It's so stupid. Jacka jockey! And then everybody fucking throws their soda at the screen and shit. Yeah. It's really, really annoying. Yeah. I like going to movies like, like during matinee hours where there's like less kids, less people. Hell yeah. That also helps. Yeah.

[00:39:44] I, um, the, the last movie that we seen before everything shut down for COVID was the invisible man. And I remember specifically cause like with horror movies and stuff, I, I get taken out of it really easily. If I hear like chattering or if like people are on their phones and shit and like I get pissed. I have such a short fuse for that stuff. Cause I'm like, motherfucker, I paid money to be here.

[00:40:12] Like you shut the fuck up. Like this is my fucking experience, not yours. And we, we, I specifically bought like the VIP tickets for like the, you have to be 18 and older to be in this theater. Cause I was like, yeah, this is perfect. It'll weed out a lot of these idiot teenagers. They won't be here. They won't be fucking around. And it's like at, at the cineplex, it's got like, it's almost like a cat, like a love

[00:40:40] seat that, that you get that reclines. And there's like a few of them in a row. So you are kind of close to like your, your neighbors. But like, I remember this movie starts and these people sit down next to us. And as the, like the trailer, even before the trailers, when they're showing the fucking car commercials, they were like full on commentary on these car commercials.

[00:41:08] And I was like, this should better stop before the movie starts. So much. It's just a commercial. Yeah. And then like, then the trailers started and it was like still full commentary. And I was like, I, I got a funny feeling. I'm going to be really upset. And sure enough, the movie starts. I don't know if you've seen that movie or not, but like that movie starts off like very tense. Like she, it's like, it gives you the sense of like, she's an abusive relationship.

[00:41:37] She's trying to like sneak out of the house. And like the whole time, the whole fucking time, this guy's like, oh man, she really doesn't want to be there. And then like, she goes to the garage and he's like, Ooh, what a nice garage. Like I'd love to have a garage. Like I was like, dude, but did you do that? Jerry? Like, did you say that shut the fuck up? No, I didn't have to.

[00:42:01] So at some point, um, during the movie and I'm already like, Jesus Christ. I just, I kept giving them like very, like if I'm sitting this way and you're like, I just be like, just a lot of those.

[00:42:27] And I, at one point, like halfway through the movie, this fucking couple comes up and this chick is like, comes over to our seats and she's like, you guys are in our seats. And I was like, no, the fuck we're not. She's like, these are our seats. And I'm like, they are not your seats. Can you sit the fuck down?

[00:42:55] And she's like, oh, and then she goes over to the fucking chatters. And she's like, you guys are in our seats. And then someone just goes, shut the fuck up. Like, W. Yeah. It was. And then like when COVID happens, I was like, good fucking society deserved this. We deserve this. Jesus Christ. Oh man.

[00:43:25] My society. One thing I hate more than anything else in the world is like when you're watching the trailers and immediately after the trailer ends, people are like, I want to see that. Like, no. Yeah. Of course you do. It's a trailer. Shut up. Keep that to yourself. I want to see that. Yeah. We gotta go see that. Yeah. Yeah. Can you put time off work? Guys, like the trailers are like 40 minutes long to the movies now. You should be like maybe 10.

[00:43:53] I kind of always the same song too. It's just like, no, dumb, dumb. Yeah. Dumb, dumb. It's always the same fucking shit. Yeah. I was thinking about that the other day, how like dumb trailers are now because like everything is just like, let's try to like mix in like them saying stuff and then add like, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun. Like, it's just like, fuck off with that. Like I miss the old trailers of in a world. In a world. Yeah, dude. Oh my God.

[00:44:20] Where my ass is grass and the carpets match the drapes. Oh yeah. And we have a man like shooting a gun in the air. Pow, pow, pow, pow. Yeah. In the year 1999. You knew him as Jesus Christ. Amen. Oh my God. Amen. Robert De Niro in the role of a lifetime. He is the son of Christ.

[00:44:51] You wanna say amen again? You wanna say amen again? And they don't make them like they used to anymore guys. Oh my God. It's sad. It's sad. Holy shit. Robert De Niro in the role of a lifetime playing Christ himself. Christ. He's old as dirt and he's playing the son of God. Fucking teen just. Dance teen just dance. Oh my God. Slonko. Slonko. Have you seen the righteous gemstones?

[00:45:21] Please. God. Oh God. I haven't. Fuck. Let me write that one down. Hold up. Oh, that show is so good, dude. It's probably like one of the funniest shows I've ever like. Like I'm a huge office enjoyer. Oh nice. Office, parks and rec. Like community. All these like classic shows. There's two shows that I've been watching that are like the funniest fucking shows I've ever seen. And that's righteous gemstones and shrinking. They're both fantastic.

[00:45:51] Trinking is deep though. Trinking is like. We love it to you. It'll make you feel good. You'll be laughing. Then you'll be like, man, fuck Jesus Christ. Like. That's me daily. Plus like Jason Segel just has a way of being like super goofy and funny and then just fucking pulling on your heartstrings. Yeah, that's. I don't know what it is about Jason Segel. Like when I see him. I was. Come on. That's how he wasn't. How I met your mother also. Like. I still can't.

[00:46:18] Like I watched that one episode where his dad dies. And that was the first and last time I see that. Are you okay, man? Are you good? Yeah. Fuck. That was emotional as fuck, dude. I've been watching better call Saul and like that show had a pretty fucking slow start, but it's getting real good. Yeah, it's getting real good. I don't know if you guys have seen that or it's over now, right? I don't. I don't want. Isn't it over? Right? Yeah, it's over now. Yep. Yeah. Yeah. I've been watching severance.

[00:46:48] Oh, yes. Fuck. My God. Holy. That show is so fucking good. Did you finish season two? No, I'm like the third episode of season two. I'm like, fuck man. I can only take it in doses. So I will never spoil this for anybody. But yeah, you're in for a ride in season two and the season finale of season two might be one of the greatest episodes of television ever made. Oh, fuck. It's already so amazing.

[00:47:14] That's like one of those shows where I'm analyzing every fucking thing from like there's a lot to take every time. That song is amazing. That theme song. I went to Coachella guys and I was yeah, it was awesome. And I was watching his DJ called Zed and he started playing a remix. Oh, I know Zed. Yeah, really? Yeah. God damn. That would have been sick. Oh my God. Is anybody watching the show? Everyone's like high out of their brains. They don't fucking know. I was like, fucking tripping.

[00:47:44] I was like, this is amazing. Oh my God. It's severance. I mean, I was happy as hell to hear it, but it was so fucking cool. It's a great show. Shit. Yes. Yeah. That's awesome. Yep. Yeah. Severance is real good. That's a good ass show. Adam Scott used to be my man crush too, but. Bargain been Tom Cruise? Mostly when he was in, not community, Parks and Rec. Parks and Rec. Yeah.

He's been in like so many things that just, I don't know. I just never picked up on like over the years. Like he's been in a bunch of horror movies and shit. Yeah. It's crazy. Are you guys big horror fans? I'm not. I am not. I'm huge.

[00:48:44] Huge. Huge. That's understandable. Huge. What's your favorite movie? Or no. No. Top three. No. Top five. Top five? Top five. Go. I could probably do top three. So my favorite movie. Oh my God. You guys are going to judge me so fucking hard. Nope. No. No judgments in the void. Go on. Okay. So my favorite, my favorite, one of my favorite movies is Labyrinth. Okay.

[00:49:11] For David Bowie's balls on display the entire time. Fuck yeah. I told you no judging. I'm not judging. I fucking checked those balls out too. No judgments in the void. I used to call that movie David Bowie's balls. Like David Bowie's balls. Labyrinth. Labyrinth subtitled David Bowie's balls. I mean, maybe, I don't know. I was a kid. I didn't notice them. But when you know, you watch it as you get a little older, you're like, oh, that's, that's very apparent.

[00:49:39] I mean, even as a kid, I was like, hell yeah, dude. No. No. No. They gave him white fucking spandex. Yeah. Like, you can clearly see his balls, dick, fucking, like, veins. Holy fucking shit. It's like, it's, despite the big balls, like in your face for 90 minutes. It's great. Jennifer Connelly, the kid, Toby, great characters. Oh my God.

[00:50:08] The design, Jim Henson is the guy. Yep. It's so fucking good. Oh, I forgot that Jim Henson did that. Oh yeah. Hell yeah. Yeah. It's fucking awesome. Jim Henson rules. Yes. Oh man. Keep going. That's what I truly love. I mean, I love, okay. Don't judge me here. I love Moulin Rouge. It's like, like a boss Lerman. Never seen that before. Oh man. So fucking good. So boss Lerman, he made, uh, the great Gatsby. He made, um, Romeo and Juliet, all Leonardo DiCaprio movies. So I love, um, yeah, it's like, it's a musical.

[00:50:37] Obviously it has, um, Obi-Wan in it and Nicole Kidman. Oh, what's his name? What's his fucking name? You know? Oh God. Oh, we'll just go with Obi-Wan. Obi-Wan. Obi-Wan, yeah. Cause of the day, fine. He's in it. Ewan McGregor. Ewan McGregor. Ewan McGregor. Thank you. My, I, ever since I got older and ever since I got COVID twice, my brain doesn't work. Oh shit. Yeah. It sucks. And damn.

[00:51:03] And I guess just for the holiday of today, I really, really, I know it's not the best Star Wars movie, but I really love Rogue One guys. That's a good one. Hell yeah. I think so. I really love it. Another one I have not seen. Oh God. You haven't seen Rogue One? I'm not even a huge Star Wars guy and I've seen Rogue One. That's actually. I gotta let you borrow it, Aaron. Like I, if you were my neighbor, I'd be like here, we'd watch it together. I'd be quoting every fucking thing. I love Q-D-Walk. Oh my God. It's so fucking good.

[00:51:32] And then we'd put on Step Brothers and I'd quote every fucking line. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Let's do that because I love that movie too. And also a nice one is Wedding Crashers. I really love that. Hell yeah. The humor in there is great. I haven't seen that in a long time. Really long time. Oh, man. Just watch it today. So good. So, so fucking good. I really enjoy movies from the past, like back in the day. Hell yeah. Those are like the time. Oh my God. They're lacking a lot of information. Aaron, what's, what is your top three? I don't know if I know this.

[00:52:03] Alien is for sure in there. Okay. If not one, it's, it's in the top. The fly. I could watch the fly like a million times. Like the 80s one. That's a rough one. I could watch that a million times and never get tired of it. The teeth pulling. Yeah, dude, that's my ship. Oh, and then. Oh, this is tough. Yeah, it's tough.

[00:52:33] I'm just, I really like dumb and dumber, man. Dumb and dumber. Oh man, that's fucking awesome. So good. Yeah. Gym care movies are just awesome too. Yeah. Anything gym care, even like liar, liar. That's a really, really good one. Mask is good. Cable guy. Oh man. I love the mask. Oh, and the Truman Show. Yeah. That was a good one too. Yeah. I'm going to, I'm going to throw the thing in there too. The, the, the 1986, the thing that's in there too. That movie is really good. Yeah. Yeah. That, that movie is amazing. Yeah. How about you, Jerry?

[00:53:04] I'm scared. Easy. Jurassic Park, evil dead alien. Oh, that's so solid. Oh, that's so solid. The original Jurassic Park. Yeah. Oh man. I got that on VHS. Cool. Hell yeah. Original Jurassic. Nothing beats the original Jurassic Park, dude. No, no. It's one of the greatest movies of all time. And that's pretty cool. How do you feel about the sequels and stuff? Not great.

[00:53:34] I mean, I still go see them and I'll go see this new one as dog shit as it looks like I'm still going to go fucking. I'm still going to see it. Like, I don't care. I'm going to go fucking see it. But like, there's just, I don't know. Like when I seen Chris Pratt being like, with his fucking rafters, it's like, easy blue. And then he does this little whistle thing or whatever. Shut the fuck up, Chris Pratt. You fucking twat. What are you doing? No, man.

[00:54:02] And believe it or not, that is iconic to new fans. I'm just saying. I know. And like, people are like, yeah, man, Jurassic Park, the raptor thing. I'm like, no, that's not the fucking raptor thing. The raptor thing is the two children scrambling in the fucking kitchen, hiding away from the raptors. That's the fucking raptor thing. And then what's his face going? Clever girl. Clever girl. Or whatever the fuck. That shit. And the fucking throwing the generator on and being like, I got the generator on.

[00:54:29] And then a fucking hand comes down and then it's like a severed arm. That shit. Fucking dude taking a shit gets fucking ripped off by the T-Rex. That shit's fucking awesome. Wayne Knight falling out of his car. Oh my God. And then it gets spit on his face. Hey, you want a stick? Want a stick? Go get a stick. And he just watches and is like, fuck you. But instead they get this. Yeah. They totally missed out, man.

[00:54:58] I hope they pay respects to the OG. It's really, it's very legendary. It's good. Yeah. And then like evil, evil dead. I'm such a huge evil dead fan. I love everything to do with the evil dead. Like evil dead, evil dead to army of darkness. Um, like evil dead remake, which is really fucking crazy. And that the newest one that just came out, evil dead rise was that was good. Insane. That was like one of the, I'm just not built for that shit. You guys are crazy.

[00:55:26] Not even, not even like, um, like eighties. Sorry. Cheesy, but like eighties slashers. Like, yeah. Like Friday the 13th. I mean, I definitely have seen them. They have scarred me more than I've enjoyed. Dude. I love nothing more than watching an old Chucky movie and just seeing like people holding a doll while he's like attack. And they're just, and it's like, we just fucking bitch. You fucking bitch. He's always just yelling at people, like calling them a bitch.

[00:55:56] So, okay. So I'm very open to, I have seen Chucky movies, but have you guys seen the series? Like the show? No, but I heard it's good. The series is good. It's really good. Like that's what gave me. It's insane. Yes. You will love it. Trust me. So I think it's on sci-fi maybe. Um, that's giving me the courage to actually finish the movies. Not that I have it. Bride of Chucky is really good. Yeah. You, then you will love the show. You just trust me, bro. Trust me. Jennifer Tilly, man.

[00:56:26] I used to have a huge crush on Jennifer Tilly. Yeah. You'll see her in the show as well. Hell yeah. Dude. The series builds a lot on top of the shows too. Like a lot of, a lot of what they've done in some of the movies, like it's referenced a lot in the show. Really? Yeah. Yep. And if you love, you love it, then you'll definitely love the show. You'll have all these callbacks like, oh yeah, I remember when this or whatever. So yeah, I highly recommend it. Even though I'm not a fear, scary girly. I think you would love it. You guys would love it. Yeah. And you know it.

[00:56:55] I'll watch, like I'll drag my wife, Karen to the craziest shit. Like, I remember just being like, Karen, we're going to the movies this week. And she's like, oh, what, what movie do you want to see? I'm like, so there's this movie called Hereditary. Oh man. And I really want to see it. We left that theater and it felt like we just went to a fucking funeral. Like nobody talked. And we just like kind of slowly got up and was like, dude.

[00:57:25] And then I brought her to Midsommar. And that was also a lot. Goddamn. I guess I'm lucky that my wife and I sure. I think pretty much like the same affinity for, for horror movies. Like anytime she's watching a show and someone gets like mutilated in some cool, fun way, she'll pause and rewind and be like, look, look, look, look, look, look, this dude gets his head cut off. I can't open her or something. And I'll be like, I'll come running. Like, oh hell yeah. That was sick. Dude.

[00:57:55] Do you guys laugh at like over the top violence? Like when something is like just. Yep. Well that and like, did you, have you seen the human centipede too? No, I keep trying to get Cheyenne to watch it, but she doesn't want to. So there's spoiler alert for the human centipede too, which by the way, also maybe a trigger warning. Cause this is really bad. At one point, uh, someone, this is so obscene for me to say these words.

[00:58:25] You don't have to, if you don't want to. No, I'm gonna. There's no turning back. It's like angel devil say it. Don't say it. At one point, there's a baby that gets like put into a car. Oh. In like the, like where the driver's seat is. And this woman is like trying to get out in this vehicle and she doesn't realize the baby's there. And she like steps very hard on the gas pedal and just like crushes this like baby. Oh God, that is trigger warning as fuck. Oh man.

[00:58:55] And I remember pausing that shit, looking at my body and being like, Oh, cause like it, it didn't look real. It looked ridiculous. It was just basically like a watermelon with like two fucking arms attached to it. And it was just like, it's got like GI Joe arms stabbed into a watermelon. Oh yeah. And I was, and that's what like, you know, I just, that's the kind of shit.

[00:59:22] Like it's so grotesque and over the top that I was like final destination type shit. Oh yeah. Those movies are, those are fun to watch though. I mean, it's like evil dead rise when they're like in the hall, in the hallway and she rips that guy's eyeball out with her mouth and then spits it across the hallway and it goes down that guy's throat and chokes them to death. It's just so over the top. Anyway, that's the end of our trigger warning. Thanks.

[00:59:53] Before we get to talk, I want to start talking about some super Nintendo shit. But before we get to that, should we lighten the mood with a cool, fun ad break? Yeah. That's a cool and fun, right? I'm scared. Hit it up. All right. We'll be right back.

[01:00:24] How, uh, how happy are you with your, uh, normal routine of taking out the trash? Do you, do you hate bags that tear and rip when you're trying to take out the trash? You get something sharp and pointy and it tears the bag apart and then oops, trash on the ground. That sucks, right? Yeah. I don't like them. All right. Well, introducing edible trash bags. Now, when you go to take out the trash, you just tie up the bag and close it up and then you can just eat that shit.

[01:00:53] You can just eat it a whole thing like a, like a big old fruit roll up. Yeah. But it's trash. Yeah, it certainly is. It's also very, very good because you don't like, you always hear about like, oh, don't let children have trash bags because they'll put them over their heads and they'll suffocate. Well, now they won't. And if they can eat it, they gotta eat the whole thing.

[01:01:18] And if they can't, well, that's, you know, that's survival of the fittest. That's true. Oh, it's like a survival of the trashiest. Oh man. I could have, I'm imagining a, like an eating competition, but it's like, uh, unlimited edible trash bags. And if you could eat like 14 pound edible trash bag, you get a free t-shirt. Nice. What are the flavors? Okay. Hold on to your hats.

[01:01:48] So there's watermelon. There's blue raspberry. Raspberry. Ooh. Cherry. That's a good one. Okay. Um, what's another classic? I'm trying to lemon. There we go. Trying to think of like Jolly Ranchers. Coconut cream pie. Yeah. There we go. Coconut cream pie. There's limited banana cream pie. And for the, for the DLC, we have the code at the checkout. All you gotta do is put the code in, which Aaron will give you here in a second, but there's

[01:02:16] a, there's an exclusive fit flavor. So, I mean, if you like the banana cream pie and the coconut cream pie, exclusive super pot flavor is just straight up cream pie. Hell yeah. Waiting for the DLC. Give me that cream pie. Listeners, here's the code. Give me that garbage cream pie. That's the code. That's the code.

[01:02:47] Me chugging that. That's the code. Yeah. Coconut 360 420 39 39 39 39. Super pod saga. Dot org slash Christ alive. That's the code. Remember all that. Write it down. Dot gov. Dot gov. Dot org. And we're doing a, we're doing a special collaboration with edible trash bags. We've got other, uh, we've got Slonko. She's got her own, uh, limited edition specific flavor with edible trash bags. Tell them about it. Tell them all about it. Holy shit.

[01:03:16] It's a pumpkin flavored. Okay. Oh, yes. A little pumpkin flavor, a little whipped cream on top. It does wonders guys. So is it like pumpkins, uh, like before you like raw pumpkin or pumpkin pie after? Or pumpkin spice. Cause like pumpkins after Halloween, not good pumpkins. I was going to say it's the after Halloween one, but we can switch it up and put a little cinnamon on top or whipped cream, cherry. Listen, it's, it's, it's a, you'll love it.

[01:03:45] Hey Jerry, what's that new? What's that cool new flavor they got for super ghost radio? I heard they got one for super ghost radio now. Uh, it's just purple. That's my favorite. Like we all know what purple tastes like. Like purple tastes like fucking purple. It really does get out of here with fucking grapes. It doesn't taste like grapes. Purple tastes like fucking purple. Yeah. That shit's such bullshit. There's grapes and then there's purple. Yep. Two different. Yep.

[01:04:15] So good. Edible trash bags. Uh, uh, so good. You won't want to throw them away. Boom. Never slogan writes itself. That's it, man. We're good at this. Anybody, anything else you want to throw out there for edible trash bags? What's the code again? Coconut three 64 20 39, 39, 39. dot org. Dot. Gov soup. Super pod. Just buy them.

[01:04:43] Try out, try out, try out our trash bag, cream pies. I'm the trash man. Or cream pie in your trash bag. I don't know. Wow. And then feed it to your family for Thanksgiving. Oh, hell yeah. Just wrap a turkey in fucking garbage. Oh, that'd be a fun. Oh, new, new, new, new, new way to marinate your food. Yeah. Get a, so you get an edible trash bag and you throw just a shit ton of Italian dressing in there.

[01:05:12] You put your fucking turkey in there and then you just close it up, vacuum seal it and then throw in the oven and then that's it. Yeah. Then you just eat it through the edible trash bag. It's perfect. You can even use the pumpkin flavor too. It'll go really well with Thanksgiving. That'd be awesome. Thanks trash for sponsoring this episode. Hell yeah.

[01:05:36] Oh, we're back. We're so back. We are back. We're back. All right. Hello ship. I love the void. I'm a big fan of the void. Yeah. It's so good to us. Yeah.

[01:06:07] I promise we talk about some, some SNES stuff. So, holy shit. How good is Kirby Superstar by the way? Bro, that's a great question, man. Let's go. The best Kirby game. Glad you asked. I love how you said that. It's definitely the best Kirby game on Super Nintendo. Like top. That's your top three for Kirby game. That's my top number one. Oh, this is a good one. Yes. Top three Kirby games. Go Jerry. Top three Kirby's.

[01:06:38] Let's go. Okay. It's going to be Kirby Superstar. Kirby's Dream Land 2. Stop it. You're copying my list. And then Kirby and the Forgotten Kingdom. Yes. Because that game fucking kicks ass. It does kick fucking ass, dude. Wait, are Kirby and the Forgotten Land? No, yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. I'm like, what is this game? I never played Kingdom before. What is that game?

[01:07:07] Don't think I'm not getting that Switch 2 version for the extra shit. I know. Yeah, the DLC. Trash bag DLC. Oh, yeah. The Pumpkin Spice DLC. I'm a big fan of that. Yeah. That's cool. That's a great list. That is really good. I actually don't really much agree with your first two. I mean, Kirby and the Forgotten Land was phenomenal. I love that game. Beginning to end. Great co-op game, too. Great soundtrack, too. Yeah, the soundtrack is fucking amazing, man.

[01:07:37] But I don't know. I am just very privy to more classics. So I love, of course, Kirby Superstar was phenomenal. Just perfect. It's literally the perfect game, especially on the Super Nintendo. Then I also love Kirby's Dream Land, too. But I also really love what's it called? Kirby's Dream Course. Oh, my God. Yeah, dude. So good. It's so good, guys. Nobody ever talks about how awesome it is.

[01:08:07] It's like a golf puzzle game. It's a golf game. Yes. It's so good. All the sound effects live in my head ran free. Yes. Yes. And I'm not, like, exceptionally good at it. Actually, you remember being- It's tough. ... quite frustrated at it. Oh, yeah. Because you know you have to focus on curving and such. But I think it's a very, one of those forgotten curvy games that, even though it's not a typical platformer, it's still awesome. It's still really good. It's pretty fucking good, though. It's so good. So good.

[01:08:37] Me and my buddy that I, like, hang out, he's like my best friend or whatever. When we hang out, we usually try to find games that we can controller pass. Oh, nice. So, like, we've been trying to work our way through Super Meat Boy. Nice. And, like, basically what we're doing is, like, level for level, like, just pass the controller back and forth. We did the same thing for all the Mega Man games. Like, literally played Mega Man 1 to 9 or 10 and just level for level. Like, that's how we do things.

[01:09:05] Kirby's Dream Course is a very good controller passer. Ah, that's awesome. Because I actually played it with, like, two people, but never just, like, one first player and just passing the controller with a friend or something. Yeah, because it's like anything that's kind of, like, level-based and that game kind of is. Yeah. Like, it's just fun to be like, okay, I beat this one. And, like, while you're playing, like, other people are having, like, input and being like, Oh, you know what?

[01:09:30] If you fucking hit that guy first, get that ability, and then fucking arc yourself up there, activate the parasail. Like, you can land on this part. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's just like, you start, the gear starts turning. What the fuck led them to make that game? Like, what in their minds was like, like, you know what would be a really fucking good idea? Kirby golf. Like, do you think they did that, though, with, like, their hands on their shoulders? Like, totally. Well, would you look at this?

[01:09:59] I mean, he is like a ball of Sakura, I guess. He's like, I'm gonna make Smash Bros in the future, but first, Kirby's dream. He has a Gilbert Gottfried voice. Ideally, it's a good idea. I mean, he is literally like a ball. I mean, it's great. It's great. My top three are Superstar, Forgotten Land, and Robobot. I love Robobot. Oh my gosh! That's awesome! Robobot's so good.

[01:10:29] Awesome, awesome. Yeah, Robobot's good. Yeah, that's a classic. I'm a big fan of all the games mentioned. What were your first Kirby games? I'm pretty sure Dream Course was my first one. Really? Yeah, my cousin's. That's a crazy one to start with. Yeah, hell yeah! I don't know if I would've went back to Kirby after that one. I fucking hate golf! God, fuck Kirby! Mine was for sure Kirby's Dream Land. On Game Boy? I had a Game Boy before I had any other console. Yeah, me too.

[01:10:57] So technically, like, a Game Boy was my first console, and I had Mega Man 3, Kirby's Dream Land, and Super Mario Land, and Super Mario Land 2 were like- Six golden coins. Yeah, fuck that game's so good. So good! Oh wait, Kirby's Star Stacker is really good too. Oh yeah, that's awesome. I always forget about that one. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That shit's good. Yeah, that's a nice one too. Yeah, I played Kirby's Dream Land when I was probably like five, and I was like, oh my god, I love this so fucking much.

[01:11:24] I remember pausing the game when you get to DDD's castle, because the music was so fucking fire. Yeah. And I just remember pausing it and being like- Dana, Dana, Dana. Yeah. It was so good. Yeah, the Game Boy titles were actually like so excellent. I love the second one too. Oh, Dream Land 2 is so good. Oh my god. Like the little fish dude. I love the fish dude. Fuck you with the fish? Nah, nah, nah. Rick could kick rocks. Kai, you the fish? And that the fish is the man.

[01:11:56] And oh god. Fuck out of here, Rick, you piece of shit. Fucking Rick. I mean, yeah. Yeah, I'm a fan. We don't need him once you get the cat. The cat was really- That's true. Oh yes, that's right. I forget his fucking name. I think his name was Nago. That sounds right. He was in the third one, right? Yeah, he'd bounce you and shit. Yeah. That was cool. He would like- He'd dribble you, fuck it, wee ball, and then he'd fucking-

[01:12:20] Dude, Kirby's Dream Land 3 is probably like one of the most impressive looking games on Super Nintendo. Yes, thank you so much. Thank you so much. But I feel like at that time where it came out- It was late, yeah. Yeah, it was later. Super late. Yeah, so we were already transitioning to like, I guess N64 at the time. So I feel like it doesn't get the love it deserves. It's really beautiful. I feel like there were a few games in the late stages of Super Nintendo that were just like, wow, this looks crazy.

[01:12:47] Like, that and even Yoshi's Island. Oh boy. That game looks incredible. Wait, that came out in 1995? Was that 30? I think that was 95. Oh wow, that game is fucking excellent, man. Yeah. Holy shit. Yeah, that is. Was it 95? Yeah, it is 95. Yeah. August of 95. I think it was the same year as Mario RPG, which also looked really crazy at the time. Oh man, that game was fantastic.

[01:13:16] Did you guys play the remake or the remaster or whatever it is? Hell, I did. Yeah. What did you think, Aaron? I just recently beat the remake. I've never beaten the SNES original, but I beat the remake and I thought like, oh my God, the remakes don't get better than this. Yeah, super, super good. There wasn't a single part of that game that I didn't like. It was, except for, I had trouble with the, when the pair, the Koopas or whatever, you're

[01:13:46] trying to get up to the cloud kingdom. I forget exactly what happened. Oh yeah, that part's tough. That part is tough. Yeah. That part pissed me off. But that's about it. I love Mallow. Mallow's the best. I love Mallow too and Gino as well. I always wish I knew Gino a character in a, what's it called? Melee or Smash Bros. Yeah, it's crazy that like, well, he's, I think he's like a trophy or something in Smash Brothers. Yeah. Oh yeah, he is. He deserves more than that. Yeah, he deserves way more than that.

[01:14:13] Well, maybe in Switch 2 they'll probably come out with another, you know, Smash Bros. I would, I would love for, or Mario Kart. Oh. Yeah, that would be perfect. That would be dope. Yeah. Speaking of the new Mario Kart, there are some pretty cool additions to the lineup. Oh my God, like the cow? Cow? The dolphin? The dolphins from Super Mario World? Oh, the dolphin? Yeah, I think that's pretty badass too. I gave my accolades to that. I was like, all right, let's give love to the dolphin. I'm gonna try to find my, I made a post on, I think it was like Instagram.

[01:14:42] Yeah. I was like, fuck Zodiac signs, who's your favorite bullshit character in Mario World? Because there's just so many fucking like non-characters in that shit. Yeah. Super Mario World is legendary. I got that a long time ago. Yeah. And I thought that Super Mario Brothers 3 looked phenomenal back in the day, but then like, I just remember a significant like shift. Oh my God. Let me see.

[01:15:11] This little fish bones guy. Oh, so good. Yeah. And the fucking wiggle. And the wiggle. Oh, the snowman. I forgot about the snowman. Oh yes, yes, the snowman and the penguin too. I was like, great. I'm glad the penguin's back. I know Jerry threw him over. I know you threw him over. You, yeah. Everybody did. Of course. I never thrown the penguin over there. Fuck this little penguin bitch. Get the fuck out of here. Never. I for sure did. I tossed his ass. You tossed his ass? Come on here. I was a terrible kid.

[01:15:41] I'm so sorry. Yeah, man. I used to make like houses in the Sims and then just like trap the same in there and like take all the doors out and stuff and just be like, suffer. I used to do. I used to do that kind of demented shit and like rollercoaster type. Oh my God. Just like take out a part of the track and just watch them all go like, yeah. I would make like a little, a little like water, like pool area. Then if people threw up, I'd be like, fuck you. And I drop them in the pool. Yeah. Let them drown for a second. Then pick them back up.

[01:16:10] It's basically like waterboarding. Have you learned your lesson? Drop them back in. You guys have enjoyed that way too much. I would never. I would never do anything like this. Oh my God. I would do it again in a heartbeat. How dare you throw up at my theme park specifically designed to make you throw up, but fuck you anyway. How dare you throw the penguin off? That's cruel. I'm sorry. To those penguins, I apologize. I hope one day we can make amends. Yeah.

[01:16:40] The penguin is back. Fuck them penguins. Fuck those penguins. Fuck turtles too. Like fuck turtles in general. What did the turtles do to them? Fuck them. Turtles are cool. I like turtles in real life. Yeah. Turtles are cool, but like, fuck them. Be careful. Donnie is going to come after you soon. Who's Donnie? Oh, fuck. Raphael. Or no, sorry. Michael, Michael, Michael, and Michael from the other podcast. Who's Donnie? Oh, those turtles. Yeah. Those turtles are bitches too. Get the fuck out of here. Living in the sewers and shit.

[01:17:09] Come on. Those are some gangsters. You better watch out. Bunch of maldy teenagers that live in the sewers. Get the fuck out of here. Those are the type of teens that talk during your movies. You better watch out. I know they are. I don't fucking like them. That's how they fight back against people as they talk loud during movies. They're just obnoxious in every fucking kind of way. Oh my God. Speaking of like SNES and turtles. Turtles in time. Hell fucking yeah. Yeah.

[01:17:40] That was like God damn big apple 3 a.m. 3 a.m. Yeah. So good. Did you guys play the Shredder's Revenge? Yeah. A little bit of it. That's good. It was really, really good. I was kind of disappointed with the power Rangers one that kind of came out recently. The readers. You tried it. I didn't try. I tried it and I was like, I don't think this is. Doesn't compare. No. God, no. Oh, really?

[01:18:07] That turtles game was like actually really, really fucking good. Yes, it's good. And fun fact, if you didn't know this already. Didn't know? That remix theme song for that turtles game. Yeah. That is by Mike Patton of Faith No More. Oh, I didn't know that. Of course, dude. And people were mad because it changed the darkness fame. What? He did the voice of the darkness in the darkness. Oh, yeah. I thought you said of the dark. I was like, no, he's not in the darkness. Like that band that's like, I believe in the thing I love.

[01:18:39] Falsetto was pretty good there though. He did that like monster voice like the, you are my puppet. Like he did that voice for the darkness. Let Mike Patton voice Venom for Christ's sake. Dude. Yes. All right. Excellent, dude. Venom is so good. Good stuff. I do. I do enjoy a venom. The energy drink or the movie. Yeah.

[01:19:06] We can, we can see a little venom, but yeah, I really did enjoy turtles in time. Oh. Oh. Yeah. You can finish. I didn't mean to. I'm just saying. Go for it. Go for it. How are you with earth bound? Are you an earth bound fan? Oh my God, guys. Take my super Nintendo card away. Because I actually have a list of games that probably everybody has. Don't, don't, don't, don't, don't. It's okay.

[01:19:37] I have a list of super Nintendo game. Oh my Lord. Jerry, please. It's okay. It's okay. That are on the backlog. They are on the backlog. Like for this year. Okay. I know like 35 years too late. I thought you were going to be like, I fucking hate earth bound. I don't know. I'm going to be like, I don't know. No, no, no, no. It's just fucking over. We're not best friends anymore. So I have a list of like super popular games that everyone has played that I actually have not.

[01:20:06] And earth bound is one of those. Oh my God. Isn't it sad? That's so fucking sad. I know it's sad. It's okay. There's a lot. There's a lot of SNES games. It's all right. Have you played one of my all time favorites and kind of the, the moment that I was like realized that Aaron and I were going to become best friends and he's got a poster of it in the background. They're secret of mana. The light is shut. Reflecting off of it. I saw the poster. Didn't that poster come like with the game or with a magazine? Nintendo power. Nintendo power.

[01:20:36] Yeah. Yeah. Nintendo power. Yes. I am a huge secret amount of man. Yeah. No fucking way. I actually played it on the channel like this year. It was so fucking fun. I. Yeah. That game kicks ass. Who's your favorite. Oh, undine. I love ice. I love, I love everything. Looks. We love Shiva here. I wish I could show you my Shiva tattoo.

[01:21:04] I've got a shade tattoo on my forearm, but like, Oh, fuck. I'm trying to turn my arm, but I can't. Man. That's so rad. Yeah. Yeah. We're big secret amount of fans. That's probably one of the first like RPGs as a kid that I beat. Same. So fucking good. I love the ice area. I love the music. The music is amazing. A toll is calling or a bell is calling or whatever it's called. It's just so fucking beautiful. I love fighting Santa Claus.

[01:21:34] Yeah. I was so like, I remember being very emotional about it. Like, Oh, poor Rudolph is like crying about his owner. It's just, it's just ingrained in my brain. Like the, the, the, like the initial music that. Like that whole song is just like, I just want to live in that area. And like, it's like so vibrant. Yeah. Have you played trials of mana? I have. Like the SNES one. The SNES.

[01:22:03] No, I, I have, um, what's it called? The remake. Yes. The remake. I have to play the OG. Should I? Huh? Uh, the OG is like probably one of the best super Nintendo games in my opinion. Like it's, it's up there. Like it takes everything that secret of mana did and just does it even better. Like it's so, so, so good. Just don't pick Kevin as your main character. I, I get so good playing Kevin. Why? What's wrong with Kevin? Because the main character is during whether anybody wants to admit it or not.

[01:22:33] The thing is like all the other characters learn new spells and shit as you go along. But Kevin is like a werewolf who does martial arts and he doesn't learn any magic and it's really boring. Oh, I see. Okay. We love magic user, honey. It's funny. Cause with a secret of mana, like my friends at the time, we all loved it so much. And we always wished that there was a way that all three of us could play at the same time, you know? Um, and we would even, since I was the only girl in the group, obviously I had to be the girl, but I wanted to be the sprite.

[01:23:04] Oh, I wanted to be the sprite. Yeah. It's totally so good. Uh, but then, uh, secret of evermore. I, I was, I wanted to ask you. It's a different one. Yeah. I wanted to ask your opinions on that one. Okay. So here's the thing with secret of evermore. So the thing for me for secret of evermore, um, I don't think it's a bad game. I actually haven't really played a lot of secret of evermore, but my forever chapped

[01:23:33] that they fucking gave us that game instead of trials of mana. Like it is insane to me that they withheld that from us and was like, this is as good. Here you go. And it's like, no, it's not. Here you go. It's like, it's not, it's not, it's not as good, but it's, it's cool. And it's, it's definitely its own thing, but like, it's, it's not the, it's not on this. It's not the same caliber at all. Yeah. Definitely not.

[01:24:03] I just wanted to see if you guys were like big fans of it since it has like the, the, not the feel of secret of mana, but like, you know, the menu. It's got like the ring menus and shit. The ring menu and shit like that. There is a, um, there's a ROM hack that you can download, um, that allows for two player co-op where one player gets to control the dog. The dog? Oh, that's cool. That's cool. That's cool. Maybe that would like lighten up the game a little bit. Cause like, that was another thing too. That I was like, really? There's no other party members. Like it's just you and the dog.

[01:24:32] Like, just me and the dog the whole time. Like, okay. We're going to get another dog. I feel like maybe that would have made it better. Somewhat. That'd been cool. Like you play as a dog walker. And they're like, that's the whole game. You're just finding more dogs. I thought it, I thought that like the pixel art was pretty nice in the game. It is. It is cool. It wasn't bad, but just in terms of like the story, it was kind of bland and yeah, it just, it just wasn't, it wasn't up to the same caliber as like the original secret of mana.

[01:25:02] And I mean, I have, I'll, I'll send a picture to you after we're done this podcast, but I have a giant, like basically the picture that Aaron has back there, like that poster without secret of mana. I have that as a giant, like framed picture. As you come down to my basement. Like that's the first thing that you see. It's like basically like a feature wall of that. Yeah. I really love that game so much.

[01:25:29] I remember like getting to the, the monetary or like both the forest before the monetary and getting my ass. Yeah. Oh yeah. That place is rough. Yeah. I couldn't afford the armor at the time. Cause I guess I didn't grind enough. And I, you gotta, you gotta, Oh my God. Most of the best armor was at the, that golden city, right? Yeah. The golden city. So I'm just like, nah, fuck it. And I've been kind of coasting through anyways. And no, there was no fucking way. Dude. The mana fortress kicked my ass. Yeah.

[01:25:58] When I first got to that, it whooped my ass. And I was like, I don't even know if I want to play this game anymore. Yeah. And I did some grinding and fucking, yeah, beat that game's ass. Yeah. That was, that was a cool one. Isn't it crazy that that game is a secret or it's a, um, Final Fantasy spinoff? Yeah. Isn't it? It's super weird. The sequel to like Final Fantasy adventure or something like that. Yeah. So in Japan, the games are called second second.

[01:26:24] So second and sets you one is Final Fantasy adventure. Mm-hmm . And then second and sets you two is secret of mana. And then second and sets you three, which is, it's funny because I've always known that game is not trials of mana. Like when people say trials of mana, I always think of like the remake. I don't, I always refer to the super Nintendo game as second and sets you three. Cause that's, that's all I ever played was second and sets you three. It didn't have an official translated like title.

[01:26:52] Like I beat that game a few times. Nice. And like, I've always just known it as either you call it secret of mana two or second and sets you three. Oh. Trials of man is like, that's within like the last eight years or six, like six years. Fair enough. Whenever that came out, like they, they were like trials of mana. I was like trials of mana. All right, I guess. Yeah. You can get it on the collection of, of mana, um, for a switch. It has all three of the games on it. So yeah. And it's pretty affordable.

[01:27:21] So it's like 20 bucks for three awesome games. It is. It's got more safe states. Yeah. It's got the little safe states. If you're into that, I, sometimes I'm a little against it because I, I try to play games based off their authentic experience, but unless you're playing cultural. Yeah. Fuck that same state away. Okay. But like, um, yeah, I'm a little bit too old for the stress. So I love a little safe state, a little rewind. I'm not mad at that. Yeah.

[01:27:49] If you think that I'm not using safe states while I'm playing fucking super ghouls and ghosts, you're, oh my God. Yeah. You can put a trash bag over your head and breathe in deeply. Oh, no, not the edible ones. No, not those ones. The regular ones. Yeah. Super ghouls and ghosts are just games. I cannot conquer. They're fucking difficult. Yeah. They're insane.

[01:28:13] Now I use safe states like generously and like, or not, I guess generously is not the word. Like I try to make it so that like, I'm not like save scumming. So like, if I'm playing like a shmup, that's just like batshit crazy. I'll drop a save at the very beginning of the level. Okay. That's how you do it. So that I don't have to like, I don't have time to fucking restart the shit.

[01:28:38] Like, no, this is how it would be if it was a modern release, it would have like, you would start at the beginning of the last level that you are, you've made it to. And that's kind of how I use my safe states. Like with Mega Man, I would like, if, if we, if we did like a run to the, like, like, especially in the Wily castles, like if you do a run to a boss several times at a certain

[01:29:06] point, it's like, okay, we can consistently get to this point. It's the fucking boss that we're having trouble with. So let's drop a save at the boss door. And that's it. Like not during the boss, like, not like, oh, I got them halfway down. Drop a save state. No, I have to be able to beat this boss. It's just, I don't want to fucking run through this level anymore. Like I can do the level. I've proven this. Just let me fucking start at this door.

[01:29:33] Also, Mega Man seven and Mega Man and base are probably some of the best looking games on super Nintendo as well. Better than X. I think so. They have like X is really, really fucking cool looking. It's beautiful to me. God, but there's something about Mega Man seven, especially has like a very cartoony look to it. And it just, it just pops. Like, I don't know. There's something about it.

[01:29:59] Like I just like the sprite work is really, really well, like done and animated. And same thing with Mega Man and base. Mega Man and base is crazy. And more people need to play that game. Yeah. I don't think I've ever played that one before. It's really good. Are you a fan of the Mega Man for super Nintendo? Hell yeah. Hell yes. Hell yeah. I just, I know that's Jerry's area of expertise, but I, I don't know. I do.

[01:30:24] I do love Mega Man, especially, especially X and the, um, uh, which ones were on Game Boy Advance Z zero. Oh, those ones are really good. Yeah. Those ones are good too. The more like the more running gun shooter ones, those ones, but they didn't, I don't know. They're, they're good, but I don't, I don't think they're as nearly as good as any one of the X games on super Nintendo.

[01:30:50] I have to say guys, I really love Mega Man, but I am more partial to the NES ones. Oh yeah. They're, they're great. Like usually when people are like, Hey, I want to try Mega Man. What should I do? I'm just like, start at one, like just start there. It's good. Like all the, like Mega Man one, two, uh, six is on NES. Yeah. Um, even the Game Boy ones are pretty good. They're pretty good.

[01:31:18] That's that's, that was my first Game Boy game was Mega Man three. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Wily Wars on Genesis is pretty good too. Like, even though it's like, you know, what's crazy about that is that there's those ROM hacks now that they've taken the, that, that game and they've ROM hacked it and they've now made, um, like Mega Man one through six using that engine. So you can get Mega Man one through six, um, on Genesis and it's fucking awesome. That is sweet.

[01:31:48] So it's basically like getting like a remaster of the original Mega Man game. Oh, that's fucking cool. That's awesome. I always tell people they want to play a Mega Man game, just skip one and go to two. Cause I feel like that's the hook one. Yeah. One is, is like basic. Like it's very like, it's just run, jump, shoot. Yeah. But Mega Man two is when it was like, okay. Oh fuck. Yeah. That's the one where it's like, oh, this is fucking awesome. Like, yeah.

[01:32:17] Uh, I never like remembered the order or anything like that. I always have to constantly look it up, but I think it has like a really good experience. Yeah. Mega Man three still has like a really special place for me. Also snake man's level. Yeah. Jesus Christ. I just, I just remember that's the first that like, that is literally the first level that I threw on as a kid. Yeah. And just hearing the, did it, did it, did it, did it, did it, did it, did it. And you're like, whoa, what the fuck is going on? What the fuck? Like.

[01:32:48] So fucking good, man. Yeah. The music in two and three is like just, I think I still to this day don't know who the composer is of the music, but like. It's, it's been a few different composers over the year. Oh, okay. Okay. Yeah. But those two are just top notch. I think Aaron, I think what we need to do at some point is just have like a full on, cause we've never done a full Mega Man episode. Do it guys. We do need to do that.

[01:33:20] Well, I mean, Aaron, this is probably a good time to do a little segment that we like to call. Random Recommendated Games. That's right. This is the saddest part of the episode. It's when we, it's when we have to say goodbye, but we are generous lovers and we always like to give back. So we would like to give all of our listeners a nice, warm, random recommended game.

[01:33:49] And because Slongo, you are our guest. I would love for you to go first and give us a random recommended game. Okay, guys. So my recommended game for everybody that should, that you guys should play is called Split Fiction. It's really good. Have you guys played it? Oh yeah. I just started playing it like. I haven't played it. I've heard of it. Yeah. It's it. Listen, if you want the couch co-op experience, like we had to, we used to have back in the day.

[01:34:18] This is it. Like, it's basically like two girls. They're both writers. One writes fantasy. Oh, you brought it there. But it's basically like a co-op, like action adventure with two girls that write stories. One writes more mostly like fantasy stories. One writes sci-fi and they basically get stuck in these worlds. And it's a lot of like platforming. There's puzzling that you have to do.

[01:34:48] And basically it's by the studio that made It Takes Two. So I don't know if you guys ever played that one. Hell yeah. It's so fucking good. It's so, so good. And it basically is these two girls and this big ass company, kind of like Lumen, I guess. It's like trying to steal their ideas and everything. And they basically just have to like rely on each other. Basic teamwork, basic co-op awesomeness. I love the puzzling in it. And I love the action in it. It's really, really fun. It's easy to pick up.

[01:35:18] It's unlimited lives. You can die as much as you want. And eventually you just have to like work with the person you're playing with to complete the levels. It's really, really great. I'm probably about like halfway through the game. I've been playing it every night for like the past week. And I believe it's, I know it's not a Nintendo game, but I believe it's on a PS5, Steam and Xbox. So it's awesome. I can't recommend it, especially if you want that like nice couch co-op experience. So play Split Fiction.

[01:35:47] It's awesome. It's very good. It's awesome. It's awesome. It's awesome. It's awesome. I love Donkey Kong there.

[01:36:15] And I could talk about Donkey Kong all fucking day, guys. But just saying the game really does pay owed to other games and other like, you know, other aspects of media. So you guys should really play it if you haven't. It's a little hell. Yeah. Yeah. So I'll, I'll go. I'll go next. I recently threw on a game called, I guess it's just called Bzzzt. It's B-Z-Z-Z-T. All right. Let's write it down.

[01:36:44] And it's a platformer. Oh, okay.

[01:37:16] Okay. Like you're not shooting things, but you're just kind of like running around and jumping. And like you unlock a double jump like pretty quick. We love that. And it's, yeah, it's just, it's, it's a lot of fun. You can get it on, I don't, I'm sure it's on like a bunch of other stuff, but we were playing it on Switch. Oh, that sounds awesome. Cool. Yep. So check that out. Thanks. Aaron, what do you got? Dude, Zupapa on Neo Geo arcade.

[01:37:45] Oh, it's fucking good. So puzzle game. It's like a, like a puzzly platformer kind of thing. So like, uh, depends, like there's different stages based on different themes. So there's a jungle, there's a jungle or worlds based on different themes. There's like a jungle world, a carnival world, like a horror, like spooky world. And you'll go, there's platforms and shit that you have to jump up and there's enemies walking around.

[01:38:13] And basically you're the point of each level is to take out each enemy. But to do that, you have to go collect these little dudes that are walking around and it's like Pikmin kind of. You go pick up those little dudes, chuck them at an enemy. And then, um, depending on how many dudes you had on an enemy, when they were killed, you'll get certain amount of points. And of course the more points you get, you get another life. But, uh, then you go to the bosses and it's a lot of the same shit that you just chuck, chuck your dudes at bosses to damage them.

[01:38:41] And then like the more, the more of the dudes that you have on a boss or an enemy, the more damage they'll do. Can I just get an extra shout out for Plock? Uh, everybody should. Uh, yeah, you can get an extra shout out for Plock. I fucking love Plock. God damn, I love that game. The soundtrack is so good. Dude, yeah, that boss team has no good reason to be that good. It's so good. The first boss, those big lips.

[01:39:09] The music, the music is so insane. Yup. I'm so glad. Yes. If that's my, my only like shining star. Like I love the, and then he comes up with a fucking harmonica. Oh, I forgot about the harmonica. Hell yeah. Hell yeah. So play split fiction. And if you want to play something awesome, play Plock. Shout out to blues traveler, dude. Harmonica's rule.

[01:39:48] Plock rules, man. Plock rules. Speaking of Plock, let's, let's Plock the fuck out of here. Let's get the Plock out, dude. I feel like we covered, we covered a lot, but I'd love to talk to you guys again sometime. Absolutely. Absolutely. Thanks for having me y'all. This was a lot of fun. We'll have you on again to talk about Mega Man or something. Oh man. I got to start playing my ex again. I haven't played those, uh, Mega Man X in so long. I see. I think maybe we found the right candidate to do our secret of mana episode.

[01:40:18] Oh yeah. We can find you a secret of mana episode. Oh my God. I would love to. Oh my gosh, please. Yeah. I would love that. Cause we can, we, we, it's crazy. Like Aaron and I love secret of mana and you do too. And like, we have not really like we've talked about it, but we've not like done an episode dedicated to it. Oh man. Just let me know. I'm ready. Like that is, I'm surprised. It's pretty popular. I was, I'm surprised you guys haven't covered it yet. Mm hmm. Mm hmm. Well, you let me know. I'm ready to talk about it.

[01:40:48] That's, that's my shit. Excuse my language buddy. Hell yeah. Put her on the fucking list, Aaron. Yeah, let's do it. Let's do it. I'll hit you up on blue sky again. Yeah, yeah, yeah, definitely. Thank you guys so much. I had some fun. Yeah, absolutely. All right. We have Slonko. Let the listeners know once more where they can find you.

All right, Aaron. Let's get it. Get us out of here. I got a little bit so bad. I can fucking taste it. Listeners go check out super pod. Socket.com leave a rating or a review, please. But be sure to tune in next time where Jerry, uh, what have I not said already?

[01:41:47] Jerry slams an entire gallon of water, uh, immediately has to go piss. And then that's what he's going to do right now. The end of the, I'm going to straddle the toilet and the wrong way, but the right way. And Aaron is going to sit upside down on his couch. Let all the blood rush to his head just to feel something. I should fix me. That would fix me. All right. So let's say bye. Bye. Everybody say bye. Bye. Bye. Bye.

[01:42:17] Bye. Bye.
