05:55.44
Alessio Summerfield
um

05:55.70
Lilli
Of course.

05:56.65
Alessio Summerfield
Isaac and I let now live within 45 minutes of each other, which is cool.

05:59.38
Isaac
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

06:01.12
Alessio Summerfield
So I will more than likely drag Isaac to my house in the future for recording ease of use or vice versa. Yeah.

06:09.78
Lilli
So should we talk about the the upcoming schedule of events coming coming forth?

06:10.73
Alessio Summerfield

06:13.26
Alessio Summerfield
yes correct yeah so what are we covering soon

06:19.52
Lilli
So we, given that the release date is coming next month, which is insane, And there's apparently been some some some news, so we might need to talk about that in one of our favorite segments, but we'll get to that later.

06:33.93
Alessio Summerfield
oh yeah

06:34.49
Lilli
um But in June, the end of June, Death Stranding 2, On the Beach, a game that I cannot believe is called that, is coming out.

06:43.01
Alessio Summerfield
I hate the subtitle of this game.

06:44.69
Lilli
Yeah, that game is coming out. And we debated this for ah little bit later. in the run-up between last week and this week about should we save that for later and do Metal Gear Solid Delta first, or should we just go ahead and do Death Stranding 2 first?

06:51.14
Alessio Summerfield
Between last week and this week.

07:02.31
Isaac
Mm-hmm.

07:05.42
Lilli
So we're going to start with Death Stranding 2. um We're going to release that weekly, as always, obviously.

07:15.06
Alessio Summerfield
Yeah, definitely.

07:17.34
Lilli
um And then after... We're going to do, that is in an effort to finish Death Stranding 2 before Delta comes out.

07:27.14
Alessio Summerfield
yeah

07:27.16
Lilli
And then we're going to cover Metal Gear Solid Delta. And that's going to, in this fantasy world, we don't do episodes weekly, that's gonna be bi-weekly.

07:30.81
Alessio Summerfield
Yeah.

07:37.58
Lilli
gonna do that every other week.

07:37.65
Alessio Summerfield
Correct.

07:38.68
Lilli
And that that will that would be the normal cadence if we weren't so committed never missing a week ever.

07:38.75
Alessio Summerfield
Yeah.

07:43.63
Alessio Summerfield
Oh, yes.

07:46.12
Alessio Summerfield

Alessio Summerfield
ah Yeah, starting with Delta, the show will be coming back as a biweekly show.

07:57.82
Lilli
Yeah.

07:58.68
Alessio Summerfield

08:10.91
Lilli
Yep.

08:12.47
Alessio Summerfield

08:18.73
Lilli
Yep.

08:20.31
Alessio Summerfield
um But yeah, we got to do bi-weekly because we're all busy as f

08:24.06
Lilli
Yeah. There's lot of like different things that's happening in our lives. Like Alessio has a kid now. So that's wild.

08:30.26
Alessio Summerfield
Yeah, I have a 16-month-old daughter. um I think I might be like on the cusp of finally getting a development deal for a TV show during one of the worst times to do that.

08:41.10
Lilli
Whoops.

08:43.41
Alessio Summerfield
um So that's been a lot of work. And then, of course, just and jobs. we all We all have jobs.

08:48.54
Lilli
Yeah, jobs working. Isaac. We had to literally rip Isaac down from a rock climbing wall to get him to be here today.

08:54.88
Isaac
It's true.

08:57.01
Lilli
Which is why, which is why.

08:56.98
Isaac
was true.

08:58.29
Alessio Summerfield
I just slashes Achilles tendons on both feet.

09:01.16
Lilli
God, it's a little extreme.

09:04.66
Isaac
Yeah, it was actually the yoga the yoga room yeah got me.

09:04.75
Lilli
I wasn't gonna go that far.

09:07.65
Alessio Summerfield
Oh, got it. It was for the listeners.

09:08.59
Isaac
Yeah. knows?

09:09.51
Lilli
Yeah. It's for the listeners, yeah.

09:11.51
Isaac
yeah

09:12.69
Lilli
um But Isaac, I don't think Isaac's going to be joining us on the Death Stranding 2 season.

09:19.29
Alessio Summerfield
Yeah.

09:19.21
Isaac
i mean maybe ah maybe maybe not

09:20.98
Alessio Summerfield
Yeah, we could we could talk about i mean, worst case, maybe we can, um Isaac, if you're available, we can talk off mic more, but I was going to say, Isaac, if you're available, at the very least, it might be fun to get your um take on the...

09:20.97
Lilli
Maybe.

09:21.51
Isaac
who knows

09:22.46
Lilli
Yeah.

09:27.65
Lilli
Yeah.

09:35.89
Alessio Summerfield
on the launch sort of first impressions stuff.

09:38.60
Isaac
Oh, yeah.

09:38.88
Alessio Summerfield
um So we will be procuring the game on June 24th, getting us early access. So we'll have the game for about two days before release. um So Isaac, if anytime between Tuesday and Thursday, twenty fourth through the 26th of June, if you want to pop on by, um we could just play it together for a little bit.

10:02.61
Isaac
That'd be fun.

10:03.69
Alessio Summerfield
So we can figure it out.

10:04.21
Isaac
I'm going honest. i have seen zero promotional material or whatever on death training too.

10:08.20
Alessio Summerfield
Perfect. Perfect.

10:13.32
Isaac
So it's untouched.

10:14.36
Alessio Summerfield
You're an untouched babe.

10:17.12
Lilli
Yeah, I feel like that is like the perfect segue into ah thing that we'd like to do, which is a segment that we obviously did last week because obviously every week.

10:18.19
Isaac
I'm clean.

10:29.73
Alessio Summerfield
Yeah, because we air every week.

10:32.61
Lilli

10:34.04
Alessio Summerfield
Always on Monday.

10:35.27
Lilli
Always on Monday, every week.

10:36.16
Isaac
Always a Monday thing.

10:36.43
Lilli
um But I'd like to know. what you think about Death Stranding 2, Isaac, in a segment we like to call

10:48.16
Lilli
Fumbling in the Dark with Isaac Lim.

10:51.72
Alessio Summerfield
Hold for one second.

10:51.68
Isaac
wow

10:53.54
Lilli
Yeah.

10:53.77
Alessio Summerfield
Lily, when you did that deep inhale, I just need you to know your camera shifted focus for a second, and it literally did the, like, fucking Alfred Hitchcock, like, like vertigo.

10:56.05
Lilli
Yeah.

11:03.83
Alessio Summerfield
Like, it was crazy looking.

11:06.40
Lilli
God, I'm a filmographist.

11:08.15
Alessio Summerfield
It was great. Carry on, Isaac. What's going to happen in Death Stranding 2?

11:12.64
Lilli
yeah

11:13.16
Alessio Summerfield
And and while while telling us what you think is going to happen, could you recap the events of Death Stranding?

11:13.68
Lilli
tough

11:17.73
Lilli
yeah could you recap the events of Death Stranding 1 accurately as humanly possible and then tell us your predictions and really your spoilers for Death Stranding 2 if you don't mind just yeah yeah we knew that it's really shitty that you haven't like invited him on the podcast but whatever

11:20.95
Isaac
yeah yeah

11:28.24
Alessio Summerfield
Yeah, just come all out with it.

11:28.56
Isaac
yeah look yeah because I'm really good friends with Hideo and i'm calm I call him coach well he's a private guy he's really busy you know

11:35.71
Alessio Summerfield

11:43.51
Isaac

11:44.01
Lilli
Not not too. OK.

11:46.35
Alessio Summerfield
Oh, OK.

11:47.29
Lilli
He's never too busy for Jeff Keighley, but he's too busy for us.

11:47.37
Alessio Summerfield
Isaac's.

11:49.61
Lilli
That makes yeah whatever.

11:50.80
Alessio Summerfield
Isaac, since your perfect email address, and I won't give away the domain, but ah since it's AsianMan123, is Hideo Kojima AsianMan122?

11:55.74
Isaac
Oh, shoot.

12:00.86
Alessio Summerfield
Oh,

12:03.08
Isaac
No, he got the Asian man. So know.

12:05.29
Alessio Summerfield
oh I see. No numbers.

12:07.35
Isaac
No numbers. He got it. He got the OG.

12:08.61
Alessio Summerfield
Got it.

12:09.39
Isaac
Yeah.

12:09.68
Lilli
and dan i was going to say like Asia Man four, five, six or something.

12:14.43
Alessio Summerfield
um But yes, Isaac, take us through.

12:14.60
Lilli
The Asian man is way

12:17.81
Isaac
um

12:19.20
Alessio Summerfield
I love that all we're trying to do is recapture the Matt Campbell moment every time we do this, but we'll get there.

12:19.71
Isaac
It's

12:23.89
Isaac
never going to happen. I'm sorry.

12:28.62
Isaac
and You won't get it from me. Okay. So if I remember, I mean, it's been a couple years since I've played the first one, right? Obviously.

12:41.00
Isaac
Okay.

12:41.48
Alessio Summerfield
Yeah, of course.

12:42.03
Lilli
Obviously. obviously

12:44.32
Alessio Summerfield
You've definitely played the first one.

12:44.29
Lilli
Clearly.

12:47.99
Isaac
But I think it was um he got his inspiration from Monsters, Inc.

12:56.01
Isaac
And how the monsters go in and they have to capture the screams of kids, right?

13:05.43
Alessio Summerfield
Yeah, yeah,

13:06.65
Isaac
um So Hideo, I call him Koji. Koji kind of wanted to do... What happened? Koji wanted to take that as inspiration, but instead of harnessing the scream, it's like a full...

13:26.71
Isaac
The whole baby, essentially, you know. And...

13:35.21
Alessio Summerfield
and It's just the whole throwing the baby out with the bathwater, except it's keeping the whole damn baby when all you need are the screams.

13:39.45
Lilli
oh yeah yeah yeah

13:43.39
Alessio Summerfield
Yeah, yeah.

13:44.53
Isaac
Well, the thing, the idea is that you don't know what all you need until you you have it.

13:50.80
Alessio Summerfield
Oh, of course, yeah.

13:51.37
Lilli
sure yeah yeah every every piece of the baby every can't let any of that baby go to waste quite frankly

13:51.60
Isaac
Right.

13:51.71
Alessio Summerfield
You gotta use every piece of the baby.

13:53.13
Isaac
Got it.

13:57.50
Isaac
every piece of So yeah, that was kind of the the premise of the first one.

14:01.16
Alessio Summerfield
Absolutely not. you have any idea how long it took to make this baby?

14:10.36
Isaac
And, um you know, harnessing baby...

14:13.22
Alessio Summerfield
I like how you've established zero stakes or objective, but yes, carry on.

14:18.66
Isaac
um That's the premise of, like, you know...

14:19.69
Lilli
like why why are we Why are we harnessing the babies?

14:23.98
Isaac
We're in the future, guys.

14:25.88
Lilli
Oh, that that explains it.

14:27.82
Alessio Summerfield
Got it, got it.

14:28.11
Lilli
Thanks, Isaac. The future.

14:28.92
Isaac
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

14:29.86
Lilli
That makes so much more sense now. I really appreciate that.

14:31.90
Isaac
We have too many babies, okay? All right, so...

14:33.65
Lilli
you Too many babies.

14:37.28
Alessio Summerfield
Yeah, the game does open with the president saying into a rotary phone, what are we going to do with all these babies?

14:37.60
Isaac
ah

14:43.43
Lilli
and Hundreds of babies.

14:45.63
Isaac
Oh, man. So, yeah. um The premise this... ah can't remember the guy in this guy's name. well We'll just call him Jack. Okay. um Is that his name?

14:56.86

How does one mine babies?

16:29.34
Isaac
And well, let me tell you.

16:30.59
Alessio Summerfield
I'm

16:33.02
Isaac

16:34.15
Lilli
It's like Crypto Mind the Babies. Is it like

16:38.21

So these babies... um

16:41.45
Alessio Summerfield
just imagining like a squeaky child's pickaxe and then a baby crying.

16:49.63
Lilli

Isaac
Oh, man. So if you remember in the trailer, um there was...

16:54.81

16:56.81
Isaac
There was that...

16:57.03
Lilli
Oh my god.

16:57.93

17:00.19
Alessio Summerfield
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

17:00.60
Lilli
Yeah. yeah Yeah.

17:03.19
Isaac
Yeah.

17:03.47
Alessio Summerfield
They were trying to make little hand turkeys for their mom, but all they could find was black paint.

17:06.05
Lilli
Yeah.

17:08.02
Isaac
Dang, that's so sad. Oh my gosh, gonna cry. um So,

17:17.12
Isaac
it's so touching. ah Yeah, so Jack had to go in, um find these babies and blah, blah, blah, blah.

17:18.90
Lilli
Mm-hmm.

17:24.79
Isaac
blah um

17:25.77
Alessio Summerfield
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

17:26.19
Lilli
yeah ah

17:28.39
Isaac
Yeah, so basically how you mine a baby.

17:40.22
Isaac
And Alessia, you weren't too far too far off. You do have the little the rattle, right? That kind of, they're in the walls, as it were.

17:46.83
Alessio Summerfield
Excellent. Yeah.

17:49.23
Isaac
ah And you have to you rattle. um And on the PS5, you do like this, where I'm going mime it.

18:03.43
Isaac
And then um that entices the babies to come out.

18:06.73
Lilli
oh

18:07.51
Isaac
And that's where those handprints came from in the trailer.

18:10.11
Lilli
Gotcha.

18:10.23
Alessio Summerfield
Got it. Got it. So at what point does the sequel pick up?

18:12.10
Isaac
Yeah.

18:14.41
Lilli
Yeah.

18:14.36
Isaac
So...

18:15.16
Lilli
yeah Yeah. So we've got through the entire plot of the first one, which is just crazy.

18:15.82
Isaac
ah

18:18.65
Lilli
They were able to so some summarize it so succinctly and so accurately. Yeah.

18:22.11
Alessio Summerfield
Yeah,

18:22.53
Isaac
yeah the mean it's his moral dilemma to like you know does he or doesn't he mind these babies um and at the end of the first one he decides to uh to not you know and he's like i won't be part of your agency anymore um

18:26.50
Lilli
Yeah.

18:29.86
Lilli
yeah

18:42.33
Lilli
Yeah.

18:43.07
Alessio Summerfield
yeah.

18:43.11
Lilli
And he puts it.

18:44.48
Alessio Summerfield
What's crazy is that Isaac is not that far off.

18:47.84
Lilli
It's kind of, yeah, it's kind of weirdly accurate. He says he said he stands on top of the hill and like points down and all the all the the baby mines and it the mountains of the baby mines and like points out he is he offers a warning and he goes, there's mine still.

18:55.29
Alessio Summerfield
The literal mountain of babies.

18:56.13
Isaac
The Mountain of Babies. Yeah.

19:06.69
Alessio Summerfield
um

19:06.76
Isaac
um So, yeah.

19:07.71
Alessio Summerfield
But yeah, walk us through the sequel.

19:07.93
Isaac
the The second one

19:09.52
Lilli
Yeah, the sequel.

19:11.04
Isaac
What's it called? Koji.

19:11.80
Lilli
Because you're such close friends with Koji, so so you obviously know that and on the beach, on the beach.

19:11.77
Isaac
Yeah. coji yeah What was the subtitle again?

19:14.27
Alessio Summerfield
Yeah, the beach.

19:16.89
Isaac
He didn't tell me the subtitle.

19:17.08
Alessio Summerfield
On the beach.

19:18.88
Isaac
On the Beach. Hmm.

19:21.37
Lilli
Oh, this is going to go great places, can tell already.

19:24.63
Isaac
I mean, the so the second one, Koji didn't really like go into the on-the-beach segment, but I can kind of extrapolate what he did tell me.

19:34.50
Lilli
Very scientific, yeah.

19:34.62
Isaac
um

19:37.53
Isaac
ah Yeah, it it picks up 50 years after the first one ends.

19:42.51
Lilli
Wow, okay.

19:42.72
Alessio Summerfield
Oh, wow. Yeah,

19:43.13
Isaac
Yeah. ah So it's kind of a almost a direct sequel. Not a direct. I mean, I guess it wouldn't be a direct.

19:47.67
Alessio Summerfield
yeah, yeah.

19:48.41
Isaac
But yeah. um And so basically what happened is one of these babies has escaped.

19:58.81
Lilli
Oh, no.

19:59.83
Isaac
and And this is like... so let me think 20 years after the first one ends, this is when this happens, the baby escapes. Right.

20:14.96
Isaac
Um, and so we pick up and this baby is now 30 years old. Um, and he's like trying to find himself, trying to figure out like, you know, where did I come from?

20:28.26
Isaac
Cause I don't have any, where did I go?

20:28.73
Alessio Summerfield
Where did I go? Where did I come from?

20:30.15
Lilli
Yeah.

20:30.36
Isaac
Yeah.

20:31.46
Alessio Summerfield
Cotton Eye Joe.

20:31.48
Lilli
Cotton-Eye Joe.

20:32.65
Isaac
Yeah. Well, his,

20:33.79
Lilli
What's this baby's name?

20:35.21
Isaac
His name is not Joe, unfortunately.

20:38.21
Lilli
not where Who's Joe? and It was Jack.

20:40.59
Isaac
God, I...

20:40.72
Alessio Summerfield
Cotton Eye Joe.

20:42.90
Lilli
Oh.

20:43.58
Alessio Summerfield
You know Cotton Eye.

20:44.92
Lilli
Gotcha, gotcha, gotcha.

20:46.21
Isaac
ah No.

20:46.37
Alessio Summerfield
I'm really surprised that Okajima has not named a bad guy Cotton Cotton

20:52.36
Isaac
oh But yeah, um her name

20:58.03
Lilli
Oh.

20:58.78
Alessio Summerfield
Oh, shit.

20:59.61
Isaac
is Ruth.

21:01.43
Lilli
Oh, okay.

21:02.09
Isaac
Oh, my dog is trying to jump on me.

21:04.51
Alessio Summerfield
Oh, let him.

21:06.47
Isaac
Should I?

21:07.38
Alessio Summerfield
Yeah, of course.

21:07.78
Lilli
Yeah.

21:08.70
Isaac
Anyways.

21:08.84
Alessio Summerfield
I'm going to interject very, very quickly.

21:10.55
Lilli
What was that like? Hey, should I just very like.

21:15.60
Alessio Summerfield
I'm going interject very, very quickly, and this probably should get its own standalone spot. But really quick, we have shifted the Patreon. we have If you came in during the $1 bonanza of all things are available, yada, yada, yada, you still retain your Discord stuff.

21:24.63
Lilli
Yeah.

21:35.25
Alessio Summerfield
I've got to figure out the best way to... I'll go in and I'll i'll make sure that like the posts are available to everyone because they're all like old stuff that's not really accounted for anymore.

21:46.81
Alessio Summerfield
But regardless, $1 tier is pretty much the exact same thing.

21:46.86
Lilli
Yeah.

21:49.64
Alessio Summerfield
$5 tier is the show as is, but you get access to polls and what was the other thing?

22:00.49
Alessio Summerfield
ah Oh, that's right.

22:00.58
Lilli
Patriot Club.

22:02.15
Alessio Summerfield
And the Patriot Club, which is now going back to being... gated behind a paywall. um And then $10 tier, you get video podcasts.

22:12.61
Alessio Summerfield
um So the reason why i interrupted Isaac was to say that you should let Frank on your lap because the $10 patrons will be able to see him.

22:17.80
Isaac
Oh,

22:21.08
Lilli
yeah You also will be able to see Isaac miming the the the mining action for those babies.

22:24.96
Alessio Summerfield
Dual sense. Yeah,

22:26.42
Isaac
I didn't even think about that.

22:28.67
Alessio Summerfield
yeah, yeah, yeah.

22:29.22
Isaac
Yeah.

22:31.14
Alessio Summerfield
Anyway, carry on.

Alessio Summerfield

Isaac

23:05.17
Isaac
Anyway, so ah yeah Ruth is this 30-year-old that has to find... um you know herself and uh and kind of go through and jack was the that was the one that kind of helped her escape when she was a baby um and so don't know it's kind of like this last of us type thing where it's this interplay between an old man and this uh

And those tiers are $5 tier and $10 tier. And the $5 tier gets you access to the Patriot Club, ah which you will not have access to anymore at the $1. That is the one difference.

28:38.28
Alessio Summerfield
um and you will have access to polls, as will the $1. And then the $10 tier, you get video, you get to suggest Patriot Club stuff, and um you get everything else.

28:43.59
Isaac
Shoot.

28:50.28
Alessio Summerfield
And most importantly, yeah, we'll pick a random person every episode to shout out.

28:50.86
Lilli
Yeah, we're going to shout you out on the show.

28:54.54
Isaac
you

28:57.15

29:17.13
Alessio Summerfield

29:17.93
Lilli

Isaac
Oh, mine? Oh, no.

29:28.38
Isaac

Alessio Summerfield
Hey, some developers too, okay.

38:09.34

41:51.15
Isaac

41:54.41
Alessio Summerfield
Yeah, that was it.

41:58.40
Lilli
So we're going replay Death Stranding. I think we're going to do the director's cut this time around.

42:03.94
Lilli
um But yeah, we're going to recover Death Stranding.

42:10.58
Lilli
he

42:11.49
Alessio Summerfield
ah ah Metal Gear Solid 2, we're going to remaster the way we did Metal Gear Solid 1. So that's going to be great. We are not going to be able to replicate the madness that was Snake Tails and um Matt Campbell.

42:24.45
Lilli
and's ah that's it That's a genie I don't know we're ever going to be able to get back out of the bottle.

42:27.67
Alessio Summerfield

42:38.95
Lilli
Yeah, me too.

42:40.99
Alessio Summerfield
I have played and beaten Snatcher, but I have not actually played more than like 30 minutes of Police Knots. So I'm very excited to play.

42:47.34
Lilli
And I've never played or beaten either. So I was gonna, I was gonna do it for this podcast and then circumstances being what they were never happened.

42:49.71
Alessio Summerfield
So good.

42:53.98
Alessio Summerfield
Oh, yeah.

42:56.92
Alessio Summerfield
The music for both of those games is like fucking 9 out of 10, 10 out of 10.

43:01.21
Lilli
Oh, hell yeah.

43:01.95
Alessio Summerfield
Phenomenal. a Spooky Season. Isaac, I am actually going to go to your house and force you to be a part of this one.

43:07.76
Lilli
Yeah. We're, we're, we're piquing your interest for you on this. i

43:12.25
Alessio Summerfield
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

43:12.24
Lilli
You have to do this one.

43:13.98
Alessio Summerfield
We're going to talk about Silent Hill 2 Remake.

43:13.91
Isaac
I'm so ready.

43:19.84
Alessio Summerfield
And...

43:19.92
Isaac
Is that one, what what platforms are that on?

43:23.27
Alessio Summerfield
It's PS5.

43:24.59
Isaac
ah Just PS5? Oh, okay.

43:25.87
Alessio Summerfield
I think PS5 and PC, I believe.

43:28.84
Lilli
Well, so so the fun the fun journey with that one is that I'm going to be taking a trip to Georgia.

43:34.94
Alessio Summerfield
Oh, yeah. All in person.

43:37.12
Isaac
Dang.

43:37.22
Lilli
werenna We're going to play that together in the same room.

43:38.36

Oh, Lord.

43:41.06
Lilli
So that'll be fun.

43:41.04
Isaac
Okay. Oh, my gosh.

43:42.52
Alessio Summerfield
Oh yeah. um Sick, okay. And then ah potentially just to tie back to, um we're considering either doing Silent Hill Short Message as well as the sort of lead in, um but also I was kind of thinking it might be fun to do like a throwback to the Uzumaki episode and just do like an Uzumaki anime discussion of the four part TV show.

44:00.35
Isaac
I

44:05.97
Alessio Summerfield
um Then we wanna do a proper twin snakes as a potential bonus for next year.

44:06.62
Isaac
haven't seen that.

44:11.35
Lilli
yeah

44:13.40
Alessio Summerfield
I know we've covered it twice, but neither of them have been very serious.

44:17.76
Lilli
Yeah.

44:18.58
Alessio Summerfield
And then 2027, we have yet to lock in everything

44:25.65
Lilli
Yeah.

44:25.72
Alessio Summerfield
So that is 2025, 2026. But we definitely, we know, oh shit, I guess, hold on.

44:29.05
Lilli
I'll see.

44:32.54
Alessio Summerfield
I do have a list of what I think we will cover. Zone of the Enders, second runner, Fist of Mars, which is like a GBA fucking strategy RPG.

44:38.02
Lilli
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

44:44.53
Alessio Summerfield
We're going to properly cover Acid 1 and 2 and the portables, like real seasons.

44:47.78
Lilli
Mm-hmm.

44:50.35
Alessio Summerfield
And then, this is my favorite, I don't know where this is going to slot in, but We're going to cover Boktai. ah We're going to cover Tokimeki Memorial, because Kojima did direct one of them.

44:57.44
Lilli
yeah

45:02.15
Alessio Summerfield
And we're going to cover Penguin Adventure, his first game that he ever worked on.

45:09.21
Alessio Summerfield
And then from there, and I think we'll probably expedite this one and maybe make it the top of 2027, but we're going to properly remaster and recover Metal Gear Solid 4.

45:23.41
Lilli
Yes. There's a lot that happened during the Metal Gear Solid 4 season that I wish that I would have personally been more present for. I was not on a lot of those episodes due to just various life things. And so I'm excited for the idea of recovering that.

45:40.30
Lilli
we're We're all crossing our fingers that the the Master Collection Volume 2 is going to somehow, from some miracle, have Metal Gear Solid 4 on it. and um So I'm really hoping for that, but I still my PS3. still got my copy of Pelagor Solid 4. I'm still fucking ready.

45:54.77
Lilli
So...

45:55.46
Alessio Summerfield
Yeah. Cool. Well, I think that covers all the stuff. Isaac, I don't know if any of those piqued your interest.

46:03.97
Isaac
lot. Yeah. You got them all.

46:05.40
Alessio Summerfield
Yeah, that's, it's crazy. We, other than the remaster stuff, even if it was like totally fresh stuff, um, it's crazy that the show concluded with us having like fucking two years of potential show left.

46:16.47
Lilli
yeah

46:17.80
Isaac
the Yeah.

46:18.26
Alessio Summerfield
Um, yeah.

46:20.21

46:25.58
Alessio Summerfield
Oh, yeah.

46:25.51
Isaac
I mean, because I liked 3 a lot and just kind of seeing what they will do with that is kind of...

46:33.02
Alessio Summerfield
Yeah.

46:33.15
Isaac
Yeah.

46:33.28
Lilli
can't wait I can't wait for the fear to scare you in full re remade HD from the ground up.

46:35.95
Isaac
But...

46:38.38
Alessio Summerfield
He fucking scared me in the PS2.

46:39.85
Isaac

46:39.97
Lilli
Terry's a scary guy.

46:41.18
Alessio Summerfield

46:43.27

46:43.38
Isaac

47:01.77
Alessio Summerfield
Yeah.

47:01.87
Isaac
um But, yeah, a Snatcher and Police Knots, I had the intention of playing years ago, but then...

47:14.87
Lilli

47:23.22
Lilli
You did know the first time. You'll be able to do it again and we'll be together. it'll be together.

47:28.79
Alessio Summerfield
Yeah, well, hold hands. I will say I'm not going to sugarcoat it, y'all.

47:30.50
Lilli
Yeah.

47:33.87
Alessio Summerfield
That is one of the absolute scariest video games I've ever played in my entire life.

47:38.74
Lilli
Yeah.

47:38.80
Isaac
silent hill too yeah

47:39.14
Alessio Summerfield
And I don't say that lightly. I'm somebody who loves scary games. And yeah, it's scary.

47:45.34
Isaac
That's what I've heard. I've heard it's the scariest one.

47:47.21
Alessio Summerfield
Yeah.

47:48.39
Lilli
Yeah.

47:48.37
Isaac
Yeah.

47:49.74
Lilli

47:52.35
Alessio Summerfield
Yeah. it'll be It'll be fine. We'll play with the lights on.

47:57.51
Lilli
No, we don't have to play the lights on. We can play the lights off.

47:59.94
Isaac
No, no, no.

48:01.35
Alessio Summerfield
Cool.

48:04.57
Alessio Summerfield
I think...

48:04.86
Isaac
Yeah.

48:05.69
Lilli
I do want to add really quickly. I'm not going to promise this because I don't know how if we're going to be able to lock this in, but i one of the things that I would like to do is like a special like end of 2025 bonus, if we can make it happen, is covering Republique, which we talked about doing years ago, um which was made by a Camouflage.

48:17.56
Alessio Summerfield
Right.

48:21.53
Alessio Summerfield
Finally.

48:25.95
Lilli
Our friend Ryan Payton, his his crew, made that game, and they're doing great shit with ah with ah Batman, their vr game. It's got much acclaim. um But Republique, we've been wanting to cover that for a while, and we might be doing that with a very special guest, but I need to make sure we can actually make that happen.

48:41.78
Isaac
Thank you.

48:45.22
Lilli
So potentially another thing we might cover this year.

48:48.79
Alessio Summerfield
Nice. um Yeah, I think outside of that, I just want to throw out there that if you were unable to hang out with us at the Portland and Retro Gaming Expo for 2024,

49:03.53
Alessio Summerfield
Lily and I know what is coming, which is exciting, but we can't say.

49:06.30
Lilli
Hmm.

49:09.44
Alessio Summerfield
So I will just say that there is a really good chance, there's a very high chance, that at least Lily and myself will be there this year. So Portland Retro Gaming Expo 2025, I believe it's mid-October this year.

49:21.81
Alessio Summerfield
um And ah hopefully we can have Isaac join us as well.

And we played a fun little game on stage with him. And that was a lot of fun.

51:41.96

It was very cool.

52:13.83
Lilli
Um, lots of retro gaming consoles to kind of play games on. There were a couple of, um, modern, like new, like game stands. You could play like that new, like side scrolling power Rangers beat them up. They had a screen for that, which is really cool.

52:54.90
Alessio Summerfield
Isaac, kick us off.

52:59.27
Isaac
It's been so many days.

53:01.86
Alessio Summerfield
It's been.

53:01.81
Isaac
um

53:01.89
Lilli
Yeah. That's red. and

53:07.85
Isaac
um i

53:07.96
Lilli
That was a special reference specifically for Alessio.

53:10.77
Alessio Summerfield
Oh, yeah.

53:12.32
Isaac
um

53:15.05
Isaac
Gosh, I don't remember anymore. I think it's... Oh, yeah, it doesn't have a twit.

53:20.59
Alessio Summerfield
Is it still there?

53:21.04
Isaac
That's it. i I don't know. ah should probably look at it before people...

53:24.67
Lilli
Yeah. Well, you got well we well, we've got to get you to make a blue sky now.

53:29.67
Isaac
Oh, true.

53:30.26
Lilli
stuff What's that?

53:30.98
Alessio Summerfield

53:31.02

53:37.32
Lilli
Turning into a werewolf or something?

53:39.97

love that.

53:41.11
Lilli
Yeah.

53:42.53
Isaac
um Yeah, that's me. It doesn't have a twit. I guess I'll make a blue sky. I haven't really logged into that that other thing.

53:50.73
Alessio Summerfield
Yeah, because fuck that other guy.

53:52.69
Lilli
Yeah, we're kind of like drifting away. We did deactivate the Metal Gear Mondays Twitter.

53:58.00
Alessio Summerfield
Yeah, so if anybody... Yes. And before anybody gets all up in our asses, I just want to say that personally, after cutting out a bunch of different things in my life, I think the only fucking changes that we can make as consumers and the only impact we can have is to vote and choose who you give your money to.

54:16.51
Alessio Summerfield
So you can talk shit all you want, but who you give your money to is a big deal.

54:16.86
Lilli
Yeah. Yeah.

54:23.59
Alessio Summerfield
And if enough of us don't give our money to certain people... then things can change. So I'll let you draw your conclusions from that, but fuck Twitter and blue sky.

54:35.62
Lilli
yeah Speaking of giving your money to certain people, patreon.com slash Metal Gear Mondays.

54:40.72
Isaac
Ha ha ha. ah

54:42.50
Alessio Summerfield
Um,

54:42.74
Lilli
um All of the Metal Gear links where you can find us on the various platforms. um You can go to Linktree. That's linktr.ee slash Metal Gear Mondays. It has all of our social links. It also has a really great like interactive database that Dragonhide, Matt, aka Dragonhide, made for us. um

55:02.83
Alessio Summerfield
It's pretty sick.

55:03.37
Lilli
you can go in and you can like type in like a phrase or a word and you can search the transcripts of like every episode of medical mondays just like find a particular thing it's extremely cool and that's on our our link tree as well so please check those things out um you find me i also have a link tree where all of my stuff is um you can find my social medias you can buy my books that i wrote which is wild those are on there um at linktr.ee slash Liliana Dawn.

55:36.61
Alessio Summerfield
Nice.

55:38.97
Alessio Summerfield
And you can find me on Instagram, mostly, at AlessioMadeThat. um I do still, unfortunately, here I am being a hypocrite, still have my Facebook.

55:51.45
Alessio Summerfield
um However, I don't fucking scroll the feed because I don't want marketing clicks to turn into money. So i literally just use it for Messenger to talk to friends and family.

56:01.51
Lilli
yeah

56:02.82
Alessio Summerfield
um But anyway, so I'm technically on there. So if you do want to, whatever, that's fine. um But, and I do technically have a blue sky, but I don't want to sit here and tell you the incredibly convoluted bullshit system of numbers and letters that is our account.

56:09.02
Isaac
Mm-hmm.

56:20.91
Lilli
you can't just If you go to Blue Sky, you just if you just type in like the first part of it in the search bar on Blue Sky, it'll come up.

56:27.28
Alessio Summerfield
Yeah. Yeah. So it's just Alessio made that dot BSky dot social, ah which I will hopefully be posting more stuff on. But yeah, that's pretty much it.

56:38.51
Alessio Summerfield
Alessio summerfield.com is the thing. It's dawned on me. Several people who listen to the show don't know how to spell my name. So it's A L E S S I O not two L's, not one F.

56:49.39
Lilli
I just realized now we we all have double letters in our names now.

56:49.46
Alessio Summerfield
Oh,

56:52.75
Alessio Summerfield
oh

56:53.73

57:00.53
Lilli

57:03.70
Alessio Summerfield
Cool. So unless somebody has a better ah segue, I could always just recut my original show completely.

57:14.01
Lilli
Well, I wouldn't box yourself in like that, you know.

57:15.57
Alessio Summerfield
Yeah, go to that. Oh, shit.

57:19.45
Lilli
I think we're original enough to come up with a whole thing on our own. A new thing.

57:23.83
Alessio Summerfield
You boxed my ears with that one.

57:28.36
Lilli
What do you say, Isaac? What do you think?
