It's early! It's early! 30 first, Jessica, you have not been introduced yet. Oh, I'm sorry.
You do not talk yet. Start over. Alright, stop fighting! Well, welcome everybody to the Giant Bomb.
Caps Episode 740. I'm your host today, Jan Ochoa. Codename, let's go with Zaddy. Yes, that's what we're going with.
Introducing Captain Pissie Socks, Jeff Bakkler. Hello, Captain Pissie Socks, reporting for duty. Ah, yeah, that's where you wear the Socks to duty. What's up?
Corporal, I don't know anything about rankings in the military. I'm sorry. Corporal Volley Bawler, Jessica O'Brien. 10-4.
10-4. 10-4. Enjoying us today. Special Captain Ace in the hole.
You wanted him and we got him. Damn, what was your call son again? Demolition, man. Demolition, man.
420, blaze it. Yep, forget 10-4. It's 420. What's up, guys?
It's a little early today, huh? It's too early, Jan. It's too early. Honestly.
It's too early for Jan. It's not on the bowl. I had him. Man, I don't do this a lot, but I did it a lot over the weekend.
You got a rager? I just fucking raged. You got a little rager? No, not by myself.
It wasn't just me drinking in a room of my home by myself. That's what I did. That's what I did. It sounds like it.
There's no shame in it. I do it all the time. I don't know. Remember last week I was teasing that my buddy from San Diego was coming into town.
I had not seen him in about seven years. Michael Hime, the only person from San Diego that I know. Exactly. And we had a bunch of people over to celebrate his East Coast return.
And things got crazy. We've all got kids, but we still kind of party till midnight. And they all fell asleep on the couch, watching Sonic 2. Oh.
And it was fine. It was huge. It was huge. It was cool.
I'm very unclear about the nature of this rager because you say the way you present yourself. And you're like, dude, I was raging. And then you've described yourself falling asleep at 12 o'clock watching Sonic 2. The kids fell asleep at 12 watching Sonic 2.
All right. Until it was like 1230? I was like, how many hours later than the kids got checked? Yeah, but it's not like we all fell asleep.
They just went home. They just picked up their kids sleeping kids, put them in the car and drove home. Not responsibly, of course. And man, you know what?
It's a good time. It's a good time hanging out with old friends. A couple of laughs, couple of drinks, couple of what-have-views. You know?
One time did you usually go to bed. About one. So in fact, what you're saying is this was less of a rager than a normal day for you. Well, Tam, I'm going to back up there a little bit if we could take a few steps back and really unpack the kind of party this was.
I'm just trying to get to the bottom of this. Also, rager and Safe to Drive normally don't go together. Everyone had a designated driver. We weren't, we weren't like that.
Also, if you start drinking at 2 o'clock in the afternoon, let me tell you, rager, you can't go into all hours at night unless you're like 22 years old or something like that. I could do it not. Does it mean you should just, does it mean you should? Yeah.
It's not going to happen. It's not going to your call sign to rager. That sounds bad. Yeah, rager.
Also, I'm angry. I want to be rager. Oh, okay. All right.
It was great time. I hope everyone had a great holiday. I was able to chill. You know, just to clarify, this is now rager.
Is that correct? Jess is rager. Jeff is rager. Jess is rager.
Jess is rager. Jess is rager. Jess is rager. Jess.
Jess, you okay with being rager instead of volleyball? Yes. I like it better. Okay.
So, I think that's where we're at this time, and I figure out where the audio is coming from. You're really confused. That's how everyone on the beach felt. Like, which ball is it?
What's going on? I think we're doing it? I think we're doing it today. Something I was really confused about was the concert that I went to last Friday.
As everyone knows, I finally found tickets, Olivia Rodrigo at a grade. I was expecting a great time. And let me tell you, he was very apparent. There was a lot of people's first concert because people did not know how to act.
Oh, look what are they doing? There's an act. Oh my. I don't go to a lot of concerts, so like, is there an etiquette besides like, don't punch each Don't be a douchebag, Jess.
That is the general social contract we all sign here. That's for non-constrates. Yeah. So that's the donation.
I just can't figure out how like if you were like, oh, I went to a slipknot concert and or like I went to an NWA concert and everyone was being douchebag, I would be like, I can I can picture what that might be. How do you be a douchebag? A concert about the lady who sings about having a drive is licensed and being broken up with and then you know, like are people like just being like too happy or no, because people are being like too rude to each other. You would think that someone is crooning and singing like a set a bunch of sad songs.
Everyone would be like really banding together. No, it was quite the opposite. No, my partner and I, we got there maybe a show started at eight. I believe we got there around like four because we're like, oh, let's maybe grab dinner around beforehand, get to the area.
We get there. Lines are already forming to get into the venue for folks in the Bay Area. The show is that Bill Graham, Bill Graham is the worst, worst venue to have anything out here. And apparently people have been lying since five a.m.
that morning trying to get in so they could get into the show and get close to the stage. Let me tell you. Maybe they had a sign tickets or something. No, no sign tickets.
It's all general population. You all just pop in. You just pop in. It's all jet pop.
It's all jet pop. And that's what it felt like, baby. No. And then, you know, like I'm looking around the line and guess who I see?
Our sweet little boy, Justin Vichon, our designer, Jordan, Erin. Oh, it's Justin. And then, you know, we shot him like, fuck you, Jen. I'm going to live in Rodrigo Conse, I'm here to kill.
Yeah, I'm going to do this. Please. But then, OK, so, you know, my partner and I, we want to like, oh, you know, let's just wait in line. We can find a seat afterwards once we eventually open doors.
You didn't skip the line to hang out with Justin? No, no, because I have I have morals. You know, I don't want to cut anyone in line. I'm not even a back cut.
You said it's going to be like, oh, we're holding your spot. I hope we can. I didn't want to impose that social pressure onto Justin, you know, because that's like, that's that's expecting a lot. And then, you know, the line starts moving just a little bit.
People are feeling in space and everything and whatnot. And then the thing that happens, doors open and then, mind you, the general audience watching Olivia Rodrigo's generally girls probably around the ages of 15 to 24, right? As soon as there's a room, everyone rushes the front. It's like a stampede of people.
And then my partner looks at me and it's like, should we run? And I'm like, we are too old to run. I'm also the momentum that I would have if I started running, I would trample in tackle so many children that I would go to jail immediately. You're an incident, I think.
Yeah. So we hung back, you know, and then I love the idea of like a news kind of segment talking about how horrific trampling has happened at the Olivia Rodrigo concert and it cuts to live footage of something. And it's just running. It's like destroying.
Yeah. Alone, small Filipino man. It's like how it's like how when Maria gets superstore and just like the goombas. Yeah.
That's what it looks like. And then it was just bedlam inside. Try to even like find a seat or try to find a spot to stand bedlam. These people, that's the worst.
It was the worst. No, it was a bad experience. She was actually good as a performer. But the other thing that made it very apparent that it was people's first concert is that people would not stop singing.
People would not stop singing. And you only hear the audience more than you could actually hear the actual artists that everyone paid to go to. And I fully acknowledge like, you know, you want to want to vibe out to the show. But at the same time, this is home girl's first tour.
Let her fucking sing. I didn't come here to hear y'all sing. It's your first tour. Yeah.
I went to. And this is only tangentially related for me. I want to see Annie get your gun with my Girl Scout troop or something. I'm like 12 and there was some other Girl Scout troop and the Girl Scout troop leader was singing along to the live musical.
And it's like, that's weird. It's not that's odd. That's like even stranger than singing at a concert. Now he's singing the tunes and it's just like, what the fuck lady?
And I went to a concert a few weeks ago. It was for Dave, Dave from a with Dave. No, not no, they were Dickey. The actual UK Graham and rapper, I guess, Dave.
He's just named Dave. He's just named Dave. It's just named Dave. So that's open.
He is incredible. He's like unbelievable. He's like one of the talents of our generation, like exceptional. And it was so weird because hearing music and Dave is very London, like focused like he is a British artist.
So being in an American venue and being surrounded by a lot of Americans and hearing them wrap the most British rap. And like vibing out to this artist was very strange to me. I felt like both like I was feeling I was missing home, but also feeling like I was getting a piece of home at the same time. Oh, it was it was pretty incredible.
And he does this thing where he'll like bring up. So there's this viral video of him doing, I think it's like, no, it's not Coach Ellis. It's like some festival and he's got a song called T. I'll go silver, which is the name of a soccer player.
And it's him and AJ Tracy and AJ Tracy is usually not there with him. So he brings up a random person to do AJ Tracy's bits. And in this video, it was this random kid who was like up on someone's shoulders. And like the moment Dave started to suggest doing it, he just you could see this kid rapping in the distance on someone's shoulders.
And they're like, he's looking around for someone to bring up and the kid like turns around. And he's wearing a t-shirt that says T. I'll go silver on it. So he brings this kid up and this kid goes in and it's amazing.
And like he gets like famous for a bit. So now he's introducing this kind of moment into a lot of his kind of sets. And we were there and the moment he like, sorry, he says, I've got this song called T. I'll go silver like in the crowd align parts.
And there's one dude just standing there. And Dave's like, well, it seems like you guys already picked out what you want. Are we famous or something? Like what's going on?
And he's like, all right, come up then. And the kid comes up different, dude. And like he's a he's a probably a teenager young adult. And the moment it starts like he goes in and like he wraps this thing.
And at the end, like it's amazing. Everyone's like freaking out. It's great. At the end, he's like, talk to him.
Tells a kid to like, you know, tell people who he is and that kind of stuff. And he's like, Dave came here five years ago and performed in the same venue. And at that same time, people up someone to do T. I'll go silver.
And that's when one was me. He's like, in your running. I've done this two years in running and all I want is for my man to just follow me on Instagram. So tour with the kid.
It was amazing. I like like, follow him on Instagram on stage. And then that was outside afterwards and everyone was kind of like giving him fist bumps and definitely what was amazing. Oh, but yeah, Dave's amazing.
You should all listen to him. Jazza, Dave, I don't think I've ever met a day I didn't like. I had a very likable Dave might be one of those 10 out of 10 names, you know, like Matt, Matt, nothing but good maths. Oh, yeah.
I know. Yeah, I don't know if the Matt track record is what the Dave track record is, but your heart's in the right place. Yeah. OK, I'm going to try.
I'm just going to Google worst people named Ed Matt's. Well, what will show you some bad mats? Bad mats while Tam is looking at bad mats. What about the video?
Oh, God. Yeah. I know that that that rats what video games? Jessica, there's a couple of bad days.
Well, we're doing it. Everyone, Jessica, we last couple of weeks we've talked about your continued adventures in the world of Chrono Cross. I thought we do a quick pulse check chrono trigger check check for girl. Oh, why am I thinking trigger?
Why am I thinking? That was a question. Really bomb gas. Why is it literally?
It's literally the Chrono trigger. Yes. Oh, no, trigger. What's the updates?
What's the deets? What's happening? It's it's really good. And I'm the JRPG hater.
But I like it. It's cool. Last time I reported that I got the time traveling ship, the epoch and I named it epoch, but spelled like Tupac. I have a habit of like naming all of the things I could name like whatever will make my partner go.
Oh, no. Um, motherhood doesn't come with a manual in a world of perfect feeds and curated play dates. It's easy to forget that your instinct is actually your best guide. Some things come naturally.

Learn more about how little bellies celebrates your little moments this Mother's Day at littlebellies.com. Do what's natural. So like Chrono was Chrono for no reason. There's a butt in Cornell.
So I can hear what's calling a corner. But spoilers for an almost 30 year old game because I was not spoiled on this. So if you want to play Cornell trigger, you got to get on it or skip about five minutes past one saying right now, spoiler alert, Cornell freaking dies. The protagonist fucking dies like not even at the end of the game, like halfway through the fucking game, he gets fucking like utterly vaporized by an alien for like the way they show it is like it's similar to, but not really like what Sarah Connor gets like vaporized by the nuke like holding onto the fence and just get skeletonized.
It's almost like that. It's not skeleton based, but like he like turns to fucking dust right in front of you. And I was like, holy shit, they killed the protagonist. But I was like a silent protagonist.
I don't know if I've seen a game kill a silent protagonist before. I thought he was safe. I don't know. I'm pretty sure that's happened in the past.
It must have been. I don't know any. But yeah, wow, didn't expect that. He's the heiress of this game.
Don't put all of your your tabs into beefing up. Chrono. Like I did. I was like, oh, he's a protagonist.
So give him all of my upgrades going to be here for over. And then like my partner is on the couch, like knowing the whole time and letting me make this mistake over and over again, where I feed him power tabs and magic tabs and stuff, like totally wasting them. And yet he gets fucking obliterated. And then the antagonist joins your team.
The previous antagonist is douchebag named mages. He joins your team. Although you can't just kill him and he doesn't join your team. That's like crazy.
I didn't think there'd be that many like options. Like I didn't think there'd be this many consequences to things. Like you could kill this guy who could be a party member. That's interesting.
So yeah, I don't trust this guy still. I don't trust this guy. He's like not a team player. Um, I named him Majiz.
Oh, that's a good name. Majiz. Majiz. Is it with a J or a J?
It was originally M.A. G. U.S. I changed it to M.A.
J. I.Z. Oh, OK, just just one. Yeah.
I mean, I mean, well, there's only five characters that you can use to tell people's names. It's dire implies ownership that the way you name is my jizz. No, I was thinking like Malady, like Majiz. Oh, well, then you could have taken it.
Hey, then a proper. It's a proper jizz. Yeah. That's just like how I say my shirt size lately.
Between a medium and a large, so it's like a large. So yeah, I don't know that guy. I don't trust. He said he can resurrect.
Chrono. I'm like, OK, maybe. Yeah, but you might just be saying that. So I don't kill you right now.
I don't know. So interesting. I know you're not a turn based fan, Jess, but this is it. The story that has this looks in you like compilers, everything, like a music and stuff.
Well, I feel like it's like it's like not necessarily grind too much. It's a lot of those things, but I also like that this is kind of like more of a puzzle style element to combat. Like you've got a lot of enemies where it's just like, oh, they're colored or certain way. So they're either weak to or strong against that element.
There's different like combination, like dual moves and triple text and stuff like that. That can kick a lot of ass that you can use strategically. And also it matters where the enemies are on the screen because there's certain attacks that like are area of effect stuff. So you have to like wait until the enemies are kind of grouped together and then you can release an attack that hits like three of them instead of one or something like that.
So I do like that there's a bit of like a figure things out element instead of just like, well, here's three guys in a line, hit them until they die and then move on. And oops, here's another invisible enemy that you're in a battle with. Oops, here's another invisible enemy. You're in a battle with.
And I do like that you can avoid a lot of the fights. I was like, that's a lot of the game's funny. I didn't know that. I mean, it's like a funny game.
There's moments where it's I came into this one room, right? And there's like a big hefty guy in the middle of the room. And I was like, whoa, guys muscular. He's scary.
I'm going to fight him. And I just I'm just like, I'm going to walk around him. Maybe he won't aggro or something. And I could.
And he just let me go. And I was like, Oh, and so I decided to go back and talk to him. And he was like, oh, yeah, the king's this way or something. And I was like, so I went to go out the stairs and then he comes in like, wait a minute.
I have to fight you. And I was like, that's really cute and funny. Why did they do that? Yeah, it's a great game.
It's it's a great game. It's interesting, like the different forks in the road with JRPGs where they could have zigged but they keep zagging in terms of like, you know what? All the stuff that people like from Chrono Trigger. Yeah, let's just let's just force people to grind.
Just force people to grind and keep going. Just I know. I know. I know.
I know. I think so. Yeah, I'm too deep in it now. I'm like 15 hours in or something.
And like, you know, no shade to people who like, you know, other like that's cool. Get your fun your way. Not going to yuck your yum there. You don't shake grinding.
You can grind all day. All day. And all night. Um, but it's not for me.
Uh, and yeah, I think the charm really goes a long way because other games that other JRPGs or term based rather RPGs that I've liked before have had this element of like charm and humor to them, pay for Mario, undertale, you know, stuff like that where like the humor is kind of like really, it's not term based. Um, but like the humor is like really hand in hand with like the whole presentation of it, you know, so I appreciate that a lot. That'll get me through something I wouldn't normally be geared towards is having a good sense of humor. Well, I'm glad you're checking out one of the greatest JRPGs of all time.
I know you can thank my semi husband. That's out to the semi husband. Uh, something I have been looking at that makes me incredibly sad, uh, because it looks amazing is Chrono, not the chrono crosscast. Oh my god.
Oh, CUNY cross world. See, you see where I got. I was reading the doc and then I read cross. This is above that.
And the list, you know, CUNY cross worlds is a mobile slash a PC continuation kind of MMO of the, the, the, you know, CUNY verse. Um, it looks absolutely amazing. The console has that same studio jibile look and feel to it. And, um, let me tell you that's about where all the charm and possess.
I heard, I heard a rumor, Jan. Oh, it's not a rumor. Jess. Is this the one that has like NFT bullshit in it?
Not just yet. So I was kind of like in my time with it, you know, it starts very strong. You get to make your own character. There's five different classes you can pick from your classic swordsmen and engineer a witch and, um, the two others are forgetting off the top of my head.
And, you know, that you get transported in, you're kind of, it's kind of like Assassin's Creed where you are in like this weird tank and then you get digitized or magically sent to the world of Nino CUNY and then you're like, Oh, cool. Here's this pig bet looking thing. He's my best friend now. And then it starts incredibly charming.
It really dumps you in. Uh, it's one of those things that makes me think, wow, technology is so amazing that I can play something that looks so great on my phone. And then, uh, the, the different little things start popping in, like once you eventually reach the kind of MMO, the multiplayer aspect of this. And then the grind starts to wear in.
And this is the bad grinding. This is the grinding that I'm not okay with. This is not the grinding that pretty Ricky, uh, encouraged me to do in the eighth grade. Um, I remember pretty Ricky, Ricky, Ricky, Ricky, Ricky, Ricky, Ricky, Ricky.
Um, uh, because one of the currencies in this game, you can trade, uh, for a different type of currency and that other type of currency. Yes. What do you think it is? Grindium, non-fungible currency of some sort.
A cryptocurrency. But same thing, right? Can we call his interchangeable at this point? So I went digging and I went looking around and it turns out that, uh, the developers of this game, once you are trying to monetize it in such a way, where you are actively buying, uh, the specific type of currency that you could just grind for and get in quests, but you could just trade that in for some type of token to get their type of token, uh, which isn't already throwing off the whole economy and the whole balance of the game.
Because apparently the idea of like, I want to pay money to not play the game. It's something that I will always find interesting, but it's like they, they arranged it so that the game is purposefully tedious, so that you're willing to skip on pleas, purposely unpleasant parts of the game. It's like, this is horrible. It's been mobile games for like a decade.
I know, but I'll never get over it. Now it's crypto too. It's just like, oh, it just compounds on itself anyway. Like the odd thing is like, I, this is not a solution to anything, but I feel like I've gone really used to the gacha format in mobile games, right?
It's literally everywhere in every type of mobile game. Yeah. And I don't know why for some reason that seems okay to me versus. Motherhood doesn't come with a manual.
In a world of perfect feeds and curated play dates, it's easy to forget that your instinct is actually your best guide. Some things come naturally. And then there are parts that no one really sees. This Mother's Day, Little Bellies celebrates you and all the ways in which you show up.
Our wholesome and organic snacks are made for every milestone and moment. So you have one less thing to worry about. Learn more about how Little Bellies celebrates your little moments this Mother's Day at littlebellies.com. Do what's natural.
Making some type of cryptocurrency. And they also have have on a roadmap that they plan to somehow introduce NFTs into the whole ecosystem of, you know, Cooney. And I guess you could kind of twist the story of, you know, Cooney, like, yeah, this is, this is like the evil that you're trying to fight against. This is like why you got transport into this world to begin with.
But then it doesn't, it all falls apart in actual application of the game. And then like, you know, I tried to just like look past it and I was thinking, like, you know, maybe I don't have to engage with any of that type of stuff or whatever. And then I continue to play the game. And then the game is one of those mobile joints that kind of plays itself in a bit.
There's like a kind of thing which I guess, you know, can be can be useful, right? But apparently if you were trying to start the game on PC, you can't, you have to start it on mobile, get the creative character on mobile. Then only once you get past those hoops, can you start or start to play your character on the PC version of the game? It sounds like us.
It is. It is. Like, dude, the game looks so good. Like the presentation nails it.
I love seeing the Studio Ghibli art style in motion and being able to play it. And it's incredibly frustrating to see all this NFT and cryptocurrency garbage splattered all around it. Maybe I'll take it out. I don't think so because they're probably putting it on their website of like, hey, you can trade your corn for these corn.
It's all crypto. It's cool. It's cool. Yeah.
No, Cuny fell off so fast. It's unbelievable. I know the first one is amazing. Second one was amazing because of Mr.
Drippy mostly because he's tidy. And then the second one came out and it was like, wrote this shit fucking massive L4 Bandai and NEMCO and Studio Ghibli was Ghibli pieced out of the first one. Didn't they? They were like, all right, bye.
And then NEMCO was like, don't tell anyone they're gonna not hear anymore. Let's just carry on. But like, I remember starting the second one, I was like, God damn, this is boring. It's like, so it's like, no, it doesn't doesn't go have any other charm on the first one.
And then from that point on, I think NEMCO were like, no one cares about this. So let's just drive this shit into the ground wall at like three or four people still care about it. And here they are. I think it seems like this is a trend that's about to happen, but like maybe I'm like speaking out of turn, like the only people that are worse at understanding implementation of crypto and NFT games than the companies that are trying it or the Japanese companies are trying it.
Is there something like even worse about the way they're doing it? Because I don't know, maybe it's just because like my interpretation of it, but like I always kind of think about those games as having a level of Japanese developed games kind of like being outside of the traditional trends that the rest of the world goes through, you know, like when microtransactions were like riddling games, like there were most Japanese companies were kind of like, no, we're good. We're just going to carry on making all the weird games and that kind of business. But they've jumped on the NFT and crypto train and they are like absolutely riding around in dog shit, like badly right now.
And you're like, well, you are worse than us. What's going on? From like, you know, previous research things I've done about like pachinko stuff and Konami and things like that. It seems like from the folks I've talked to in the Japanese game industry that were translated by somebody else that was translated by somebody else.
But it seems that just like a lot of Japanese companies are mired in like bureaucratic red tape and it is so hard to get any wheels moving in a Japanese company because it's very status quo forever, forever, forever. And it's so hard to, you know, mix something up or change any course. So, you know, them suddenly pivoting to this stuff and doing it really, really badly. Kind of like makes sense with my understanding of how difficult it is to start doing anything.
I mean, what I'm not new there, like they've been going through it for a while as well. And it's just inescapable, but it feels like the implementation is just like, I don't know if it's because they're trying to use like existing franchises that we all know and love instead of like, here's a brand new mobile game that you can very clearly tell is designed around the idea of crypto and like is it's like crypto, Mr. Crypto Man's big adventure and you're like, oh, fuck. Whereas these were, yeah, whereas like Japanese companies are like, here's a new funnel fancy or it's crypto in it.
And you're like, oh, fuck. What are the odds that Final Fantasy 16 will have? No, no, zero chance. Zero chance.
There's no way. If they do, like they are like effectively putting a gun to that franchise's head. And I've been like, goodbye forever. That's a terrible way to go.
I would like to see almost in a, in like the spirit of a parody of like a really off the wagon, a Nintendo crypto campaign where like they've like in this alternate world, you know, almost like an obvious plant kind of meme thing where it's just like, they just go completely wackadoo bananas insane into that, leaning into that. I just want to see that from like a comedy parody. Why would you put that poison into the world? That sometimes you just got to like face your fears and see see something terrible.
Yeah. Sometimes someone needs to do the worst thing possible. So that everyone else realizes the mistake they're exactly. So I just like Nintendo standing over like a dead body in like, we've done it.
And everyone else is just looking at, I'm going, it's too much. We can't wait this way. It would almost be like a PSA, almost be like a preemptive sort of like warning, right? Like you put Wario on the coin instead because everyone I was worried.
Right? Yes, it would actually attract. I'm a good idea, Jen. What's wrong with you?
No, we're just dangling the car and we're like, look, man, this is like the first official thing they ever do with Waluigi is making a crypto guy. Oh boy. Here's the thing. Motherhood doesn't come with a manual in a world of perfect feeds and curated play dates.

Imagine if they showed up. Here's a hypothetical. We're all people that love Nintendo games. We love to play games on our Switch.
Right now, if you are not that person, I'm raising your stats to be like super in love with Nintendo. This is the baseline, which I represent everyone here. Imagine if Nintendo came along and we're like, everyone, we figure it out. And we're like, we'll figure it out.
And they went online gaming. OK, I know we've had. We've had friend calls. OK, I know that our servers are the worst kind of dog shit.
And I know that none of our plans make sense. It's confusing, but we scrapped all of it. We figured it out and we present to you the smoothest, best video game online experience that exists. I got a message from Phil Spencer and it was like he said, we tried with Xbox Live and we thought we were the best, but having tried yours in the early access, we are bowing to you and we are humbled by you.
And everyone's like, Oh, my God, Nintendo has figured it out. They've put all of their fucking games online, all the games that we love. And they've made them online multiplayer. And then the bomb, it says all payments for our new Nintendo service of via crypto.
What do you do? What do you do? Are you in or are you out? Oh, boy.
People from industry wide saying this rewired. They've set the new standard. Yeah. What it means to play an online multiplayer game.
We're all crypto guys and gals. Like and it says we bought all of the We Shop menu music back. You can call it on and off. It's everything you want from it is there.
Perfect. It's going to die and directly follow you throughout your day. If you want. Yes.
And you. Yeah. And the problem is you have to pay for it in Yoshi coins. Oh my God.
You can see any of those. Anyone now. Great. Boss is back.
Yep. All of it's back. This is this is one of those. Would you rather?
You know, it's like a classic. Would you rather? And I think I would be like, no. Yeah.
Yeah. I guess you'd you'd have to really either either really just plug your nose and jump in or check it by. I don't know. That's tough.
Oh boy. Every time you squeeze. And all the kids are into it. All the kids are like, yo, yo, they're like, yo, I got my Yoshi coin or whatever the fuck they do.
Yeah. The new is that mining crypto coins. As you squeeze, you are slowly mounding them. And what's that?
I mean, everyone's out. It seems like I have you have you had to have the talk with your your child yet about crypto. No, not yet. You seem at all that quick.
I had explained Creed to him last week. He's been through enough. One second time. Damn.
No, I was asked to Creed fucking ban from the 90s. Creed. What? Why?
I forget the context. We both agreed to get it. Oh, right. Is it?
No, they're not. There should be. Fucking. I want to say like Pantera has like a riff in Sonic two real quick.
I thought I heard that song walk for a second. Anyway. Do you think? Do you think the Imagine Dragons is this generation's Creed?
Or is that to is that to be smurching the name of Imagine Dragons too much? I think you're fucking with Creed too much. I think it was. Wow.
Creed. Wow. OK, we had some BNL talk back. Lauren, I before the show went on.
But dang. Yeah, I think. Yeah, I think you're given a little too much credit to Imagine Dragons here. OK.
All right. I just think that's the fair. I think Imagine Dragons are fine. Like I got no issues with them.
My point is like, you know, yeah, it's just. Yeah, I think like Creed is more revered as a band, right? I don't know. I don't know.
I think it might actually be like two opposing equal forces that are just equally, you know, I have a question to propose to everyone now. And then we'll get back to the video games. And this is just a this or that situation is going to be Creed releasing your album by his paid for in crypto coins. No, no, no, no, no.
OK. I mean, that does seem like a dude who be getting into crypto. I want to say it. OK, you have run retickets for free.
Yeah, everyone's ever been having on already out. I don't like concerts. Creed or kiss? Who's worse?
No, no, you have you have to go to a show. Which one would you rather go to? This is a tough one, dude. Yes.
They're more theatrical. Yeah, but they're old, but you're choosing between like literally the devil and Jesus. Yes, you are. That's exactly right.
Are they actually Christian rocker? Was that just the rumor? Wait, it was Christian rock. Creed.
Creed. No kiss. Kiss. Huge Christian rock band.
I mean, I would I wouldn't put a possum to be like, oh, we look so evil. But actually, you know, put in some something in old Jesus banner in here. Well, I don't I honestly don't know which one I would. Sir, I feel like kiss would be like just said, the more theatrical sort of thing.
Uh huh. That maybe they're silly. Like maybe they're like they're like PG. Guar in that way.
Yes. Yes. So I don't I this is a tough one. Fuck.
I don't know. I don't know. It's not tough. One one wears a ton of goofy makeup.
The other doesn't. What do you want to say? I mean, I don't see bands based on the makeup. That's kiss.
Kisses. If they did not have the makeup, they would not be kissed. We don't catch you songs like they would nobody would have listened to the catchy songs. They weren't dressed like goofes.
They would still have deep views. Deep views, you know, like deep. As part of the look, as part of the look is like some of them went off and did solo careers with the makeup on everybody's like, Oh, no, look, don't you know who's a Christian band that I didn't realize was like a tangentially Christian band. P.O.D.
P.O.D. Oh, yeah, dude. P.O.D. Man.
I bumped that CD super hard speaking about San Diego. Uh, and you know what else? P.O.D. P.O.D.
P.O.D. P.O.D. on death. We are we are we are we are we are we are the nation.
There's a couple lyrics where they would just like throw in a little like say Jock. Yeah. Yeah. They straight up say shout out to Jock.
Yeah. Without Jock. Nothing. Anyway, Hey, I'm I would go to kiss.
Okay. All right. Well, we're going to kiss everyone. Surprise.
The other surprise. Hey, I'm one of you been a games wise keeping up your time with games wise specifically games wise or yeah, yeah, games wise. So earlier this year, there was a little game released called Elden Ring. Have you heard of it?
Oh, a little. Yeah. It has ruined video games for me. Okay.
