Latest Sony Physical Disc Drama, Xbox’s Biggest Opportunity & the EU Won’t Stop It

Sony’s decision to end physical PlayStation game releases in 2028 is sending shockwaves through the gaming industry—and retailers are beginning to fight back. Video Games Plus has published an open letter urging Xbox to make physical media part of Project Helix, giving Microsoft a rare opportunity to reverse the embarrassment of its 2013 Xbox One reveal and position itself as the console that still supports consumer choice.

We also examine why European regulators say they cannot force Sony to continue manufacturing discs, how an all-digital PlayStation ecosystem could create new antitrust problems, and why eliminating physical games affects far more than collectors. Used-game pricing, lending, preservation, independent retailers and competition with the PlayStation Store could all disappear with the disc.

Gaming Gone Wild features four unbelievable stories: a suspected burglar allegedly targeting two Santa Fe game stores, the tragic death of a Tennessee mother who traveled to meet someone connected through online gaming, a man arrested months after allegedly shooting his neighbor eight times following a stolen PlayStation 5 dispute, and 15 young people taken into custody after a social-media trend encouraged break-ins at Urban Air locations.

Dude, I Got the Munchies includes Costco Mini Croissant Donuts, Blue Bell Chocolate Lava Cake Ice Cream, Dolly Parton Cookies ’N Custard desserts, the return of Ore-Ida Crispers, Pringles can-sized flavored hot dog buns and Reese’s Pieces with a new chocolate-cookie center.

Our Game of the Week is Ascend to ZERO, the fast-paced, time-bending action roguelike from Flyway Games and KRAFTON. We break down its 30-second survival loop, time-freezing combat and wildly escalating RPG progression before closing the show with another round of Choose Your Fate.

Okay, so gaming gone wild. Everyone knows what this is. This is the segment where we cover crimes around video games weekly. We try to cover recent uh events. We don't want to cover things that are too old. We might also revisit certain things where stories may pick up. So, without further ado, let's get straight into our first story for gaming gone wild, which is a very interesting one, and you guys are gonna be able to see the video on screen. I thank everybody for tuning in. If you can hit the like, share out the content, and let's go ahead and get to it. Alright, thank you for that. I really appreciate it, guys.

All right, so you guys should be able to see the video on screen now, right? Gonna make sure we got everything set up perfectly here. So, I think we're good. I think we're pretty good. At approximately 3:40 in the damn morning on Monday, July 6th, an alarm went off at 8-bit retro video games. Now, for those who don't know what that is, it's a locally owned vintage gaming store on Cerrillos Road. All right. The store owner arrived within minutes and reportedly found a shattered window and a shirtless man standing behind the damn counter. We are not joking. Yes, a shirtless man behind the counter. It's nasty work. Police identified the man as 22-year-old Nathaniel Carter. Now, according to court documents, the owner confronted Carter and tried to stop him from leaving. The owner picked his nuts up and stepped in front of the criminal, very bold. The two wrestled inside the store before Carter managed to break free, run outside, and escape in a Subaru. The owner did suffer minor injuries and was treated at the scene. Okay. Police say approximately $300 was missing from the store's cash register, and investigators also found a knife near the broken window. That's all they had. But apparently, one video game store was not enough. Less than one hour later, police received another call from a shopping center about one mile away. This time, witnesses reported an SUV repeatedly ramming the building near a GameStop in a Hertz rental location. When officers arrived, their body camera footage, that's a lot of you were able to see, reportedly showed the SUV still smashing into a brick pillar outside the damn building. Police ordered Carter immediately out of the vehicle and arrested him without further incident. Thank the Lord. Oh sure. My fault. Now, it gets even crazier. I know. You wonder how.

How?

SPEAKER_01 4:22

Well, investigators discover that the Subaru's uh the Subaru that Carter was driving had allegedly been stolen in Albuquerque. Yes, I will repeat the Subaru SUV that Nathaniel Carter was driving was allegedly stolen in Albuquerque. Carter was arrested on several accusations, including aggravated burglary, battery, criminal damage to property, possession of stolen vehicle, attempted non-residential burglaries. Shall we go on? According to the probable cause statement, though, Carter told police that he never intended to steal anything. I almost said, I almost did. I stopped myself. Stopped myself. All right, I almost did it. He said he only wanted to look around inside the store. That's all he wanted to do. Okay. Let me tell you something, my guy. I'm gonna talk to you directly because we're gonna move on to the next one. Because Nathaniel Carter, you're not gonna sit here and waste our time like this. Because we got a hell of a show to get to. All right. But you broke a window. Not only did you break the window, you fought the owner. Yes, you fought him. Scuffles. You know what I'm saying? Bow, bow. You left with $300. Okay, so you broke a window, fought the owner, left with $300. Escaped in a stolen SUV. We find out that this is a stolen SUV now. And then you use that to ram another store? What did you think? You were gonna take the damn used vehicle in and trade it in? Like you could the Subaru was damaged up to hell. You probably could get. I'm gonna tell you this. Marvel vs. Capcom for Dreamcast is worth more than that damn Subaru right now. You was out your damn mind, Nathaniel Carter, and you're looking like a clucker. I'ma just keep it honest. Y'all seen the picture. Nathaniel Carter. I don't know. You're walking around with your shirt off and everything. I will say, this is what happens when drugs get involved. That is my own personal opinion. Ain't nothing here. But it's the truth. Um, I want to know what was the plan at GameStop? Were you going to drive through really and like start looking for a game? Like, was that your plan? Was you gonna actually walk in that shit and start searching and say, hmm, what's the Nathaniel Carter? Your ass is about to go up under the jail. We don't have to say much more, but Carter was booked into the Santa Fe County jail and later released. Prosecutors initially dismissed the cases without prejudice, which means the charges can still be filed again. All right. The district attorney's office says the cases have not been declined, and that prosecutors expect to refile after receiving additional evidence, including police video, surveillance footage, the stolen vehicle report, and damage estimates from both stores. I gotta I want to ask this. How come, you know what? I ain't gonna do that to you. I ain't gonna do that to you, Nathaniel Carter. I don't know how you got out, but they let you out on bail. I don't know how the hell that happened, but I can tell you this a lot of people they keep behind bars until that investigation's finished. But for you, you know, good luck to you. Kudos. The investigation remains active, but one thing's already uh clear with this whole entire thing. This man turned the whole Cerillo's road into a damn block party, y'all. Like, I don't know what the hell he was on. Nathaniel Carter, you're walking around with your shirt off, fighting the owner, then walking no, driving a stolen damn SUV to another store and ramming it. We're done with you, sir. Let's go ahead and uh let's move on to the next. There's not much more we got to say. Nathaniel Carter's 22 years old, he's young. You everybody know we were 22. When you were 22, you felt like you were invincible. You had your whole life in front of you. You could probably felt like at 22 you could beat anybody up. At 22, I I was smarter than everybody. I was smarter than my parents. Everybody at 22. I knew it all. Oh, yeah, I wasn't, I was working a basic warehouse job at the time, right? But guess what? I was smarter than everybody. You couldn't tell me a damn thing. That's just 22-year-olds. So Nathaniel Carter was hyped up off of something. I could tell you that. 22 years old with a young wild mind. My man went crazy. Simple as that. Now, I do want to get to the chat. Yeah, that's a sorry excuse and a really bad lie from Chelsea Swain. I do agree. Sorry excuse. Nobody wants to hear that shit. I'm gonna be honest. Nearly everyone in Australia gets bail. It's a joke. Okay. So apparently, Australia's pretty lenient too on bail. All right. Hey, the US, I can tell you a lot of times they don't get their bail out like that. Okay, they usually hold back, but they, you know, people are entitled to bail. So he got out on bail. And they're still, I think they are gonna come forward with charges later, but we know what's gonna happen. They're not gonna find him, it's gonna flee somewhere. Okay, so let's go ahead. Mine fault. Let's move on to the next story. I'm not gonna bother with Nathaniel Carter anymore. Okay, we're done with Nathaniel Carter. It's nothing else we need to say about him. I mean, seriously. Okay, wow, wow, wow, wow. This is the start. This is how we start the video, huh? Okay. Whoo! All right. So, second story gets much darker, folks. It serves as a warning of how relationships can form inside a game and can move into the real world. So you better pay attention. 37-year-old Amber Graham was a mother from Spring Hill, Tennessee. According to her friends, Amber had developed a relationship with a man she met while playing Call of Duty. In June, Amber reportedly traveled more than 500 miles to Cleveland, Ohio to meet him in person. She brought her eight-year-old daughter with her, despite friends saying not to make the trip. Amber was eventually expected to return home and go back to work, but she never showed up for her shift. Her best friend and manager said Amber later called and unexpectedly quit her job. During that call, her friend reportedly heard a man in the background screaming at Amber before taking over the conversation. That became the last time Amber's friends heard from her. July 1st, Amber's eight-year-old daughter was found alone near a Cleveland fire station. You hear me? Her eight-year-old daughter was found alone near a Cleveland fire station. The child appeared physically unharmed and had her grandmother's phone number inside of her pocket. She was placed in the care of CPS. For those who do not know, that is Child Protective Services. Amber's friends immediately knew something was wrong. They reportedly used the gaming screen name of the man Amber had been communicating with to track down the address where they believed she had been staying. Authorities went to a home on Boss, I think I'm hope I'm pronouncing this correct. They went to a home on Bosworth Road in Cleveland, and that was on July 3rd. Amber was found unalive outside the property with her body covered with a sheet. One week later, U.S. Marshals and Cleveland police SWAT returned to the same address looking for 43-year-old Matthew Hensley. Authorities said Hensley was a convicted offender. We gotta watch our monetization, who had been wanted for approximately two months for failing to register his address. He was also wanted in connection with additional allegations involving unlawful conduct with an underage person. When officers searched the home, they reportedly discovered Hensley hiding inside a concealed space. This space was built behind a cabinet, bench, and a wall, believe it or not. He was taken into custody without incident. Police records list Hensley as an involved person in the investigation surrounding Amber's unaliving. However, investigators have not charged him with her death. Authorities have not publicly confirmed that he was the man that Amber originally met through Call of Duty. So they they want to confirm that first. They want to make sure that Hensley is the same guy that Amber has been speaking with in Call of Duty. The medical examiner is still working to determine Amber's official cause and manner of unaliving. But Cleveland police say those findings are going to help determine whether the case becomes a criminal investigation. Now, for many of us, online gaming is where friendships begin. I'm gonna be honest. A lot of us start talking with friends and gain a lot of friends. And I've seen people travel, I've even seen stories of people meeting their Xbox Live friends for over a decade. So a lot of online relationships do lead to great things, but it also can lead to something much darker. People play together every night, talk about their lives, eventually feel like you know everybody and you trust each other. But a gamer tag, a microphone, and months of late night conversations do not tell you if somebody's gonna stick you up, just uh just hold you hostage inside their home, kidnap you, take you, do things to you you don't want to have done to you. I'm serious. I've been when Diala first started, and we had AOL chat rooms, and I can tell you, you think things are dark now, there was not as much monitoring going on. You could give full addresses. There were you could see who was online and whether they were male or female in their age, and talk directly to them with an instant message. There was no barriers. Amber Graham's family is now waiting for answers. Her eight-year-old daughter, no mother. They don't want to wait on this investigation to finish. They want to know faster. Investigators are trying to determine exactly what happened, but until they determine it, this is going to remain a tragic reminder that online relationships in the real world still require caution. I don't give a damn how much verification it went through, listening to their voice, and oh, I don't hear anybody around them. Oh, they're great people. I don't give a damn. You better start FaceTiming people. You better start show me your ID. Let me see your real name. Why are we hiding things from each other if we are truly friends? That's just me. I want to say condolences to Amber's family, especially her daughter, eight years old. I could only imagine what she witnessed or had to go through, even just being alone at the fire station. It is terrible, sick, disgusting. And if Hensley is the person behind this, put him up under the jail. Rod in hell. That's my thing. Y'all, let's go ahead and move on to the next one. We're not gonna go too much, but it's a shame. Call of Duty is my favorite game, and this dude is on Call of Duty, and it just shows that you got sickles on Call of Duty. You got them everywhere, I'm gonna be honest. Let's move on to the next story. Alright, that's how we do. We get straight to it, man. We can't we can't stay on stories too long. We gotta get through the show. We got a time or two. Okay. So, third story takes us to Baton Rouge, Louisiana, y'all. Where police say a stolen PlayStation 5 led to an alleged setup. Eight gunshots, attempted unaliving, and finally an arrest 11 months later. Yes, 11 months later. This is a sad one. So, this case originally began on August 23rd of 2025 when a man reportedly said that someone broken into his apartment on Plank Road and stolen his PlayStation 5. Okay? Yes, broken into his home and stolen his PlayStation 5. We all know how many crimes have happened recently, specifically over PlayStation 5. So me being a black male, I feel like I have to be the first one to address this. It is damn near an epidemic like Jordan's in the hood. If they see you with a PlayStation 5 box, people would damn near try to hit you up for it. It is serious. I'm just gonna say it. Okay. But after the apartment management office allowed him to review the surveillance footage, right? So he goes and reviews it, the victim reportedly recognized the suspect as his own damn neighbor. Yeah, his own neighbor did it. Okay, 24-year-old Tyzerian Castle. You can see him on screen right now. Tyzerian Castle. First of all, I must say, as a black member of the community, that is definitely a black ass name. It is ghetto with shit. I must say it. I must say it. Tyzerian, I don't know where, maybe you know, I don't know. I don't know enough. So let me stop. That is an uneducated stuff that came out your mouth. There we go. All right. I'm just that's just what I felt. But 24-year-old Tyzerian Castle is his name. Now, the two men had known each other for approximately six months, and they only lived apart from each other for a couple of months. Wasn't long. Okay, these gentlemen are now. I want to make sure I got everything set up okay. All right, and these gentlemen were like, you know how you know a neighbor and you talk and you become friends, but it's not a very long time to get to know each other. So in six months, they lived a couple of floors apart. You see each other from coming up and downstairs. But this is the part I cannot understand. I just cannot understand. You allegedly burglarize somebody who lives in the same apartment building, knows exactly who you are, and can recognize you on camera. I want to repeat that. You allegedly burglarize somebody who lives in the same apartment building. You speak with them, you talk with them all the time. They know exactly who you are, and they can recognize you on camera. So you just didn't care. That's the God's honest truth. You just didn't care. It's not a criminal mastermind at that point. This is somebody just completing a mission regardless of any failures that might be in play. Right? They don't give a damn. They are just going to say, hey, uh, I don't give a damn about anything. I'm just gonna do it. That's the God's honest truth. According to the arrest warrant, the victim text Castle and confronted him about the stolen PS5. Yes. I you know what? And I'm not gonna lie, this is where I've had something similar happen to me, which I'll talk at the end, and I'll say how I handled it versus how this gentleman handled it. And this is kind of crazy that he handled it like that. But the victim did text Tyzerian Castle and confronted him about the stolen console. Castle initially denied being involved, but allegedly admitted to the burglary later and said that he would make things right the following day. So he said, Yeah, I did do it, man. I ain't gonna lie, I'm gonna make it right. Now, I don't take that altercation between the two was a normal altercation. I take it it was probably pretty tense. So the two arranged to meet approximately two in the morning at another apartment complex on North Ardenwood Drive. That first failure, two in the morning on a random street. Castle reportedly entered the passenger side of the victim's car, but while they were talking, a third person allegedly approached the driver's door carrying a rifle and demanded the victim get out. Realizing something was seriously wrong, the victim drove away with Castle still sitting in the passenger seat. Police say Castle then pulled out his own handgun and ordered the victim to stop the vehicle. The victim stopped at an intersection, struggled with Castle over the weapon, and begged him to get out the car. Castle allegedly climbed across the victim, exited through the driver's side door, and then fired eight times. The victim was struck in his side stomach area and left leg. While additional bullets all hit the vehicle. Despite being shot multiple times, the victim managed to drive himself to his family's home. He was rushed to a hospital, underwent surgery, survived, and later was recovering the next morning. By reports, tough ass dude. Police publicly identified Castle as a wanted fugitive in September 2025. But July 9th, yes, of 2026, Baton Rouge police announced they had finally caught Tysirean Castle, and he is now arrested. Castle is now facing accusations of attempted unaliving, illegal use of weapons, or dangerous instrumentalities, I guess that's how you say it, right? Aggravated criminal damage to property. And let's be clear about something. This wasn't simply an argument over a damn PlayStation 5. This was about disrespect. This is about a guy just, you know, recklessly stealing in a neighborhood. And if you live in that neighborhood, I feel worried about everyone else that lives within that neighborhood. Okay? And we're gonna go ahead. I do want to move on, but I wanted to say something like this happened to me as well as I've suffered break-ins. I've been in a hood, man, and I had to get it how I go. And I in some break-ins, I did act stupid. There were certain ones I went to people's homes and I was knocking on doors, and yes, dumb. But I can tell you, there was one time I had a break-in happen, and um everything was gone. I didn't have anything. I mean, the only thing they didn't do was go into the children's room. I was told by a kid who, yes, I did pay the kid. In the hood, you gotta get it how you get it. And I'm always smart thinking ahead. Kids will say anything, just pay them a couple dollars, give them a video game, and they're good, right? So he told me who stole my stuff. He pointed to the group, and I actually found out who it was. And I thought about doing something, but to be honest, he was around a group of guys. Um, I dolo most of the times where I go. I got family, I got brothers and everything, but I usually do things alone. And um, I didn't want to do anything. I I thought about my family, what could happen, right? And I didn't do anything. Charged into the game, my stuff is stolen and uh moved. That's what you do, get out the hood. That's what I did, man. You know what I mean? Because if I keep going that route, something's gonna eventually happen to me as well. Let's go ahead and get on to the next story. All right, here we go. We're doing great, we're great on time, too. This one is a bunch of ignorant bastards, and I'm sure you guys are gonna love this. So, since June 4th, police investigated seven separate incidents connected to urban air location in Lawrenceville that was temporarily closed for renovations. Y'all, teenagers are something else, man. I need to be serious for a second. June 4th, police investigated seven separate incidents connected to urban air locations, or excuse me, an urban air location in Lawrenceville that was temporarily closed for renovations. Now, according to investigators, videos circulating on social media encourage people to enter urban air locations after closing, use the arcade games and attractions, and also in some cases tear the damn property up. Yes, they damaged the property. And apparently, enough people watched those videos and thought, you know, I should try that too. I'm gonna record it as well, and I'm gonna go ahead and self-snitch. Why not? It is 2026, the year of self-snitch. Police say 15 people between the ages of 15 and 20 were taken into custody. 11 suspects were publicly identified. While the names of four juveniles were withheld because of their ages, possible charges vary by person. Okay? So police listed offenses including loitering and prowling, criminal trespass, burglary, vandalism, and tons of other related charges. We can go down the laundry list. Body camera footage from one incident reportedly shows a 17-year-old telling officers that he climbed onto the damn roof because he had seen someone do it in a TikTok video. Yes, he did the same thing. Now, of course, I believe he's lying about he's seen it. He ain't seen nobody climb that roof in a TikTok video. He did that shit on his own. All right. But this may be one of the worst explanations I ever heard someone give to police. I seen it on a TikTok video. This shit don't work. Anything you say can and will be used against you. And I seen it on a TikTok video, is what you say. It's the dumbest shit you could have said, young man. But you're a teenager. What can I expect? Now, I know I'm standing on top of a closed business at night, officer, but please understand. Views and the algorithm outweigh law. So therefore, I will take the charge. It's the dumbest shit I heard in my life. You we gotta do something with these young guys, man. Alright, and I love my teenagers out there. All right, I love my teenagers. My teenagers are representing today, okay? They out there, they smart, they are real smart, but you got a lot of them that are cooked, as they say. They are cooked, their brain is literally like we used to watch that old commercial with the old iron pan and two cracked eggs. And this is your brain, though. That's them. So, this is what happened when you see a 35-second video and decide my life is gonna depend on it. Okay? They never show the police report in that 35-second video, they never show them running at the end, they never show them when the police catch them and beat their ass. Yes, police do hit the body cam buttons. I've seen it. Turn it back on. Oh, I'm sorry. When I went down, my my button went off. It happens. So, breaking into an arcade after hours is not some super cool secret level shit you figured out, bro. Like, I don't know what it is. You're not getting unlimited free play there either. Like, because you're there after hours, so it's not like everything is just oh, it's all unlocked and we got it.

SPEAKER_00 28:35

Oh my goodness, this is like Wally World being open to us. Yo, you can like No, it's not that.

SPEAKER_01 28:41

You are committing burglary while recording the evidence of yourself, young man, you are the dumbest of the dumb. And I understand how clout chasing nowadays and recording yourself doing crimes is a new thing. But I come from the era. Well, if you had somebody with a camera, and this was even your homie, your homie caught one! You brought a camera shit! Your homie caught one bow! Straight to the face. You do not bring a camera and get us all in trouble. Police have warned for a long time about these type of challenges, pranks, whatever you want to call them, but doesn't stop these criminals. Nope. I'm gonna break into an urban air, and you know what the hell? It's an urban air, bro. You're sliding across a zipline and jumping into a bunch of foam. Wow, you're this is crazy, man. Ab, what's going on? Dat me up, Harry Knuckles, and all. That's my dog, Ab. For those who don't know, pay some respects to my dog, too. Thank everybody for tuning in. We got multiple platforms. I want you to go ahead and share out and like the content. It's not too much more to say about these young, these young whippers snappers, man. Uh the answer for all this is to start whooping ass at home. I know we we got away from whooping ass, and I do understand whooping ass is not the answer, right? But for certain kids, you must implement the whoop ass. Okay, like at a certain point, whoop ass needs to be entered. At a certain point, I don't know. Maybe that's me. Okay, all right. I'm gonna stop. That's my old archaic thinking, Nick. You gotta wait, you gotta, you gotta use your mental, Nick. Stop whooping ass. I know, I know. I just know when you give a good ass whooping, sometimes things change. That's my fault. That's my fault. Okay, nonetheless, y'all, the internet may reward these kids with views and clicks, but the police is gonna reward them with gun butts and nights sticks. It's just the real. It's just the real. And y'all, that is gaming gone wild. Bam, we do it. Let's go ahead and move on to the next one. Like I said, we got a snappy show. There is no time. We get straight on to the show, guys. Whew! This is one I've been waiting on. Because you know, on July 8th, something amazing happened. Yes, July 8th. A lot of people do not know. But I think this is something that needs to be commended. I think this is something that needs to be talked about more. It needs to be talked about all the time. On July 8th, Video Games Plus. I hope you know podcast listeners can't see it, but everybody watching, you can see it. Video Games Plus store behind me. And if you listen on the podcast, the video's coming. But on July 8th, Video Games Plus, which is one of North America's major independent video game retailers, put some respect on the name. Right. They published an open letter directed at Xbox Leadership and Microsoft's next generation console. It was beautiful. It was beautiful. Project Helix, they want to make sure Project Helix is right. The timing of this letter is important because Sony has announced plans to stop producing physical discs and it's hitting the world by storm. Okay. Newly released PlayStation games beginning January of 2028 will only be digital and it's hurting us. Everybody's talking about it. Now, since that announcement, gamers, collectors, retailers have all been asking whether Xbox will follow the same path. Well, I'm here to tell you, Microsoft has not officially confirmed whether Project Helix will support physical disc. So this debate is still happening while the decision may still be open. All right. Video Games Plus is trying to apply pressure to Microsoft before they lock in their final strategy. And I think Video Games Plus is taking a step in the right direction. I've been here running my goddamn yappers for I don't know how long trying to go this direction. I seen a couple other YouTubers and a couple other Twitch guys and a couple people on X Fade, wherever you are. I seen y'all talking about it too. TikTok too, yes. But Video Games Plus wrote a damn open letter, and I love it. Now, the retailer encouraged Microsoft to make physical games a core part of Project Helix. They argued that there is still a dedicated audience that values collecting, preserving, lending, trading, and truly possessing the games they purchase. Yes. That is major. I think all those. Well said, let's just go through that again. They value collecting, preserving, lending, trading, and truly possessing the games that they purchase. Now, that is the heart of the argument for video games plus. For me, that is not the heart of the argument. The heart of the argument for me is more digital ownership. So I'm more of a guy who's fighting for the digital ownership. Where I do want a lot of the physical ownership to stay, and I do want a little more rights there, but I think digital ownership is the forefront we need to be fighting, and everybody needs to be fighting strictly digital ownership. Digital ownership, digital ownership, digital ownership. Now, physical games do not um outsell digital games. I I agree to that. Okay, I will concede to that, but I do think physical games deserve a place in the market still. All right, digital games, very convenient. Okay, you can buy something from your couch. I got it. You buy it from your couch, you're eating your eating your little Cheetos or whatever, and you buy it. You download it immediately, and you never have to swap a disc. Hell, you can keep the other game that you were playing before in there, the other disc. I got it. I understand, understand completely. You never have to swap a disc. You're the man. Congrats, dab me up, dude. But millions of gamers prefer disc. Now I ain't gonna lie, I ain't gonna say millions of gamers. I might be going overboard, okay? But millions of gamers prefer the digital experience. I'm gonna keep it honest. Millions of gamers prefer the digital experience. Because I at one point must say myself, I turned over. Yes, I was a dirty dog buying nothing but digital when I changed. If I can change, you can change too today. Today, it's not too late. Okay? We let those other millions of gamers do their digital experience. We'll let them have that. But the problem begins when digital stops being one option and it becomes the only option. And then watch all the digital people start coming out crying.

SPEAKER_00 36:00

Oh my goodness, why is the game so much? I can't go anywhere else and get it. Oh, I can't buy it in this country. Oh, why won't they release it at the same time in this country as everywhere else? Oh my goodness, when I download it from here, it's only got this update. But over here, they get this one. Why are they censoring this from me? But so and so and then well, if you had a physical version, you get all that shit.

SPEAKER_01 36:23

Video Games Plus also reminded Microsoft of one of the biggest mistakes in Xbox history. Let's talk about it. And we all know what it is. If you don't know what it is, you should know what it is, and you could probably say it right damn now. In 2013, Microsoft introduced that goddamn Xbox One with restrictions involving used games, sharing, and offline play, all needing to be connected to some damn online interface. The shit was shit. I want to say it again. You know what? I gotta change. My fault. I wasn't supposed to be swearing like that. My fault, mama. Sorry. Sorry. But the Xbox One came with a lot of restrictions. You you didn't have offline play. It was you had to be online only. That shit was nasty work, Microsoft. That was nasty work, Microsoft. You took away sharing. You matter of fact, Microsoft, you were Sony before Sony. I'm glad video game plus put this open letter out there. You need to respond. Okay? So I don't think you coming at Sony throwing your little meme out there. That shit was weak. It was weak, sauce. Okay. Sony, of course, everybody knows what Sony responded when they did that. Sony responded with now the famous, infamous PlayStation Used Game instructional video where, you know, I think he showed the person handing a PlayStation 4 disc to another person, and it was like, this is how we share games. And he handed the disc to him. You know, but it was their point of shitting on Microsoft and Xbox, right? So Microsoft calls themselves trying to get back at Sony. Oh, we got your back. No, you didn't, because you were trying to do this way before. We're not dumb. So that was the entire joke. But Microsoft needed pages of policies to explain the damn system. While Sony needed one person to hand over a game, that was a mistake you made in 2013, Microsoft. Xbox became the company trying to control how people purchase their games way before anybody else was. Let's keep it real. 13 years later, the roads reversed. That's all it is. Sony is the company. Alright? Sony's the company now. Sony, the company that embarrassed Microsoft for threatening physical ownership, is now the company that Microsoft is making fun of for threatening physical ownership. That's literally what's happening. Xbox has the opportunity to use Sony's old strategy against it, and it does it. So then they announced Project Helix. We will be supporting physical games because we got Halo coming out physical, huh? While PlayStation moves away from them. Look at us. Get the hell out of here. That's crap. You're not doing nothing. You're not showing off. You're not nobody. Like, literally, I hate when companies try to do that. You were literally the first one. You cannot be the one joking. This shit ain't even funny when you say it. For real. It's not funny. It's dumb. It's dumb marketing. And someone in your marketing department needs to speak up and say, bro, I'm not gonna lie. We need to be the ones to kind of stay out of this. It's pretty dumb. Okay. Xbox thought this was gonna be one of the easiest victories they ever had. Oh gosh, this is gonna be great. Oh, Sony's Sony's gonna stop physical discs. Look, we're gonna throw a dig. No, it did not work. Y'all, this does not mean every single project Helix console needs to have a disk drive. That ain't what Video Games Plus is saying. No, Microsoft can sell a cheaper digital version. That is what we've been seeing for generations. We're used to that. The disc version, digital version. This version, digital version. That's what we're used to. Hell, you can even offer, which I hate, I don't know why I'm even saying this, but you can offer a detachable drive. Hell, one we can just plug in. You know, manufacture a few disc compatible systems, maybe a special batch that we go through and then people start buying them up. And you know what? I shouldn't have said that. God damn it, I just gave them a business idea. Because you know what they're gonna do now limited edition physical systems. We don't know if we're gonna have any more, and everybody's gonna sell out, you know. Oh my gosh. I don't know why I said that. So that's what's happening, guys. You already know. But the demand is not that everybody must buy physical games. That is not what I'm saying right now. What I'm saying is the demand is that Microsoft should not remove that option, and that is what video games plus is demanding in the open letter. We also gotta be honest, man. We gotta be honest about video games plus. Because I know I'm talking a lot of shit, but we gotta be honest about video games plus. They're not writing an open letter trying to really save us. Let's keep it honest. It's not because they love gamers, they're not a gamers for gamers type of group for this one. You ain't looking out for my back. No, no, no. I know what's going on. Physical games are the majority. I ain't even gonna say the majority. I don't know your business like that, but I'm gonna say this physical games are the backbone of your damn business. And without Disc, there are fewer new products to sell, and there are fewer trade-ins, and they're only gonna get less and less. There are gonna be fewer used copies generating revenue. Yes, Video Games Plus is not the only company that will have an open letter. Mark my words, you will see a few open letters come. Okay, video games plus is presenting its own business interests as a fight for consumer rights. And you know what? I'm not even mad at it. Because I understand it is two fights can be for the same reason, and that's what Video Games Plus is doing, right? They're like, hey, we're all fighting the same fight. You consumers and us, we're fighting the same fight, and that's what they're doing. I think it's pretty smart. Now, they're only trying to protect their business. Let's keep it real. They're not really for consumers. I'm gonna just keep it real with you, Video Games Plus. You're not, you're not caring about consumers, you're only giving a damn if somebody's gonna uh bring a trade in or not, or if somebody's gonna buy a new game from your company. Because if they don't, that's when you lose your business. So your main concern is your business, it's not us. Stop lying. Okay, but I understand why you're doing it. It's business, it's it's a smart move. But both things can be true, right? Two things can be true at the same time. They could be caring about their business and they could be, you know, wanting consumers to get it. A physical game can be sold, traded, loaned to a friend, or handed down to someone else. How does that sound to y'all? You can finish a game and recover part of your money for selling it. How does that sound to y'all? Okay, I'm preaching right now. Parents can purchase cheaper used copies for their kids. How that sound to y'all? And and and collectors can preserve older titles after they disappear from storefronts. How does that sound to y'all? Boy, I'm preaching to y'all. You can't do none of that shit with digital, you can't do none of it with a digital purchase. When physical games disappear, guess what's gonna happen? You do not only lose new game physical sales, you're gonna lose the pipeline. The pipeline that creates the used game and retro game market. You lose it. That affects GameStop, video games plus. All right, many independent retailers, collectors, and customers who Depend on cheaper secondhand copies. And I want to ask you guys something. For many years since I've been a little kid, I've been able to take my damn console and go somewhere and trade it in. I've been able to take games I have and go somewhere and trade it in. And they've been able to take those systems, those games, and resell them to other people, and other people were able to experience the same thing that I experienced while the company was able to make a profit only by being the middleman. It's a beautiful system where multiple people benefit. Now I want to take you to a new system: a system where one server you go into. You go into that server, you make your purchase, you get your game, and that's it. You download it and you're ready to play. You do it all on the on the couch. You don't speak to nobody, you don't see anybody. Hell, you damn near don't even see AI. That's it. Y'all, this is nasty. And uh Video Games Plus did a great job. I'm not gonna hold up too much, like I said. We got a show to get to, you know, but um Xbox should not build its entire future around physical media. That is not what Video Games Plus is saying, that is not what I'm even saying now, right? But it should allow for customers and the market to have an opinion and a valid input, maybe a petition or something that that could make us feel like we're a part of what you decide as far as being the insight to gaming, it should allow it to decide, right? Microsoft can release a standard digital project helix and a physical project helix with a drive. Anyone willing to pay for it can pay for it. Simple as that. Then you can continue supporting compatible Xbox Disc. You don't have to release every game through disc. I understand that, but major games will be released physically, and people can still have those discs and still trade them, which I think brings more attention to your game because now you can have three different families play your game, whereas one family was playing your game. Y'all, I ain't gonna drag this one on because I got another uh topic to talk shit about. Let's go ahead and move on to the next one. Told y'all I ain't gonna drag it on too long. This one's pretty major because this week, the European Union, EU, a lot of people like to say, but I think how what does the fool think? I think it's the European Union Consumer Protection, right? But nonetheless, the EU commissioner Michael McGrath was asked whether regulators could stop Sony from ending physical PlayStation releases in 2028. Yes, they were asked, right? This is the damn commissioner Michael McGrath was asked whether regulators could stop Sony from ending physical PlayStation releases in 2028, and his response was not what collectors and preservationists want to hear. McGrath said the issue comes down to commercial and contractual freedoms, and the companies are free to offer games and services however they choose, provided they continue following national and European consumer protection laws. So, in plain English, Sony is legally allowed to decide that every new PlayStation release will be digital. Bam! There you go. That was the way to say it. He could have just saved all that fluff talk and just said that. The EU may regulate how Sony treats customers inside of the digital ecosystem, but it cannot currently force Sony to keep manufacturing discs, and that is nasty work. It's true. So the distinction matters because the EU is not saying Sony's decision is fair, right? They're not saying that, and that's why he worded it that way. Mac McGrath was very, very nice in his wording, okay? He's not even saying it's consumer friendly or if it's in good faith, right? But he is saying that choosing a distribution format is presently considered a commercial business decision. And there's part of me that wants to agree with that. Um, and I'm a little torn with it, but the part that makes me want to agree is the whole HD, DVD, and Blu-ray war between Xbox and Sony. They were they had to write to choose their own media format they wanted to go forward with, right? One chose Blu-ray, one chose HD DVD. One failed, the other one skyrocketed. And they both had the choice. They neither one was forced. Now imagine this if both of them were forced to use a certain type of media format. Both of them were first uh forced to use dual-layer discs, which don't have as much room. So now you're getting double disc, triple disc, and other things. Like there's there's a lot of complication to that, right? A lot of complication to that. Now, Sony announced on July 1st about the physical disc production for all new PlayStation releases stopping in January of 2028. Games released before that date will remain eligible for physical production, but everything new afterward will be sold through the PlayStation store or through retailers in digital formats only. So Sony says this reflects changing consumer preferences, which everybody's been seeing, most people have been purchasing digital, with approximately 80% of its full game sales already coming from digital purchases. All right. So the problem is that the majority preference and complete consumer choice are not the same thing. Even if four out of every five purchases uh are digital, yes. So even if four out of five are digital, you still have one that wants physical. So I think that one still represents a lot of people when you start breaking down numbers. Like one out of five, that's 20%. 20% of people would still want physical media. That is a huge market of people. Okay, they they're buying used games, they're trading games after they complete them. This is a 20% market, right? So the don't kill the disc petition that a lot of people have already seen. I don't know if people have seen it, but if you have not, it's a petition that has already passed a quarter million damn signatures. Sony looks at those numbers and uh conclude that the financial benefits of controlling digital distribution outweighs the anger from you assholes. That's plain and simple. We don't care, we want your ducats. The money outweighs the anger. You're free-it don't matter about your frustration because guess what's gonna happen? 80% is going to buy, which means profit. And the other 20% are going to cry, and 10% will turn around. That's the way Sony feels. The EU response also arrived shortly after another consumer rights battle involving the Stop Destroying Video Games Initiative, right? That campaign collected 1,294,188 verified damn signatures, asking the European Commission to address games becoming permanently unplayable after the publisher shut down essential servers. The crew, I'm talking to on June 16th, the Commission declined to propose an immediate legal requirement forcing publishers to keep every discontinued game playable, partly because existing European copyright laws give right holders exclusive control over their creations. So they can do what they want, they can shut that shit down, and ain't nothing you can do about it. However, it would be inaccurate to say the EU simply rejected the campaign. That would be inaccurate of me. All right, they ain't just they ain't do that and walk away. The commission said it plans to bring publishers and consumer representatives together before the end of 2026 to develop an industry code of conduct for handling the games in the life. I'm gonna tell you that's some bullshit right there. You gotta get what public no they're gonna they're gonna tell you what they want to make the shit. Publish, I'm gonna tell you something right now. Publishers and developers, a lot of them, when the games are digital, they are going to be receiving more revenue. If you make it physical, I'm gonna be honest, they are not going to see, and I don't think the revenue change for developers and publishers is much, like I don't think it's vastly that much a piece of the pie, but I will say it will vary because when you start producing physical discs, you do have to take manufacture cost, right? Which means you're gonna be taking a portion of cost and giving it to somewhere else. Investors get less money, investors run the whole. Let's be honest, investors run the whole shit, bro. All right, I might as well say shit. They do, they did, they simply do. Okay, digital content laws, they are eyeing that. They got people they hey buddy, what's going on? Here's a couple. I ain't gonna say much else. All right, but nonetheless, it has been emphasized that consumers may already qualify for refunds. That is something that I've been hearing already, and I'm glad to hear that. Okay, I've been hearing it, I don't know if it's true, but I've been hearing it. So, when a digital product stops functioning in a way that violates the original agreement, some people have already been given refunds, from what I'm hearing. But it's a good sign that you still may get a refund. Not binding preservation law that guarantees you will get the game to run on the server forever. Nope, you won't get that, but you will possibly get a refund. Possible. Piece of shit. Anyways, excuse me. Uh, the much bigger legal danger for Sony, though, is gonna come from the antitrust law rather than preservation law. All right, Dutch consumer organization called Stitching, MasterChaid, and Consument launched its fair PlayStation campaign in 2025, accusing Sony of abusing its control over digital PlayStation marketplace. Now, the organization argues that because digital PlayStation games can only be distributed through Sony's controlled ecosystem ecosystem, that customers have paid inflated damn prices, and we all can agree. Sometimes, reportedly, the price can be 47% more than comparable physical versions, and that was actually shown. I've seen that. I'm just gonna give you some examples. I've seen regular edition of games digitally being sold for $49.99 while the physical comparison was being sold for $28. And guess what the physical comparison was? The definitive edition. So that claim made sure to seek more than $400 million in compensation and is associated with approximately 1.7 million Dutch PlayStation users. I don't know. I've all of a sudden I turned Dutch, I'm Dutch, right? But Sony's physical dis announcement did not create that lawsuit. All right, that lawsuit was already done, so that ain't no Sony announcing shit that did that, but I think it may have handed over the claimants new ammunition. I think it might be time to uh hey, let's move this case forward now. Okay, Lucia Melchurch, the chair of the Dutch organization, argued that ending disc removes the last marketplace where PlayStation games can be freely bought, sold, and priced competitively. Okay, without physical copies, there is no traditional used game market, no ability to finish a game, sell it, and use that money towards the next purchase. That I think hurts video gaming economy as a whole. I think that needs to be the key. If anyone wants to fight for physical, that needs to be your key right there. Is that you are stopping someone, you are stopping your economy from making money because GameStop independent retailers, your economy can now make money just from being the middleman, so you're hurting your economy. One, two, you're actually helping consumers because now they can purchase games at a lower price point and also sell games after they finish. So you're also helping them, right? Like this is something that is it's a no-brainer, okay? Even when retailers continue selling digital codes, those codes ultimately remain tied to Sony's platform and cannot be sold for activation, even though they're sold on all these damn websites. We know, we know, we know, but not supposed to. So this is where Sony could be walking into that uh, you know, that little that little antitrust trap that I was talking about. Physical retailers and secondhand sellers have historically provided Sony with an argument that PlayStation software still faces outside price competition. So if somebody thinks a game costs too much digitally, that person can currently check Walmart, Best Buy, Amazon, GameStop. Go wherever the hell you want to, any independent real uh retailer, used market, do what you want. But if you can't do that, where are we gonna be? An economic analyst interviewed by Fortune argued very interesting, that by eliminating disc, Sony may be weakening its own defense because price-sensitive customers will eventually have far fewer places to go outside of Sony's controlled ecosystem. And that an analyst's legal and economic assessment, it's not a court ruling, okay, explains why the 2028 decision could become important evidence in ongoing competition cases. So Sony could be in a bit of a pickle here, and they better think of something fast because if they don't, you might see Sony start facing some antitrust lawsuits come up, whether they are, you know, big corporate lawsuits, or whether they're just class action lawsuits, right? So that is why the EU response and antitrust lawsuit can both exist without contradicting each other. The EU commissioner is saying Sony currently has commercial freedom to stop. The Dutch claimants are arguing that exercising that freedom may still create anti-competitive harm once consumers are locked into that marketplace. Sony may be legally free to go digital, but not free to take part in any type of plans they want within their ecosystem for pricing. They may not be free, they might have to go by some laws when it comes to actual pricing within their own digital ecosystem. And I want to move on because we have a lot to get through on this show, but something I want to talk about specifically is the government, it's a rap, bro. The government is not, I don't think, I'm just gonna say, I don't think. I'm gonna say the government may not be able to save the dis y'all. Like it's not a chance because these corporations make more than the governments, they have a lot of power, lobbying power, and I don't think the government is gonna save anybody out of this. Okay, petitions are not gonna be large enough to change any evaluation that Sony's gonna do moving forward. That is a fact, I'm telling you. If eliminating physical gains removes price competition, destroys the resale market, and leaves customers dependent on Sony, Sony is going to discover the real corporate legal hammer that is not preservation law, antitrust. Mark my words, do it, Sony. Go ahead and do it, do it, go ahead, end all the disc in 2028 and control everything, and wait until we start seeing these astronomical prices and we come down your ass with all types of lawsuits for antitrust because there is no competition. You are making sure to monopolize this. You need to have some third-party sites that you're giving some extra keys to. Where does the legal line draw? So I would like to ask y'all, where does the legal line draw? Okay, should Sony have the commercial freedom to distribute games however it wants, even when a decision means eliminating resale, or even when a decision means you can no longer have the resale market. Or should regulators step in? I think regulators should step in. Let's go ahead and move on to the next one because I'll be all day like yelling at the top of my lungs. Sony won this argument over whether the EU can force them. It's a fact EU said we can't do shit. Our hands are right behind our back. We can't do anything. They got the right. Yeah, stop bobbing them. Stop bobbing them, please. It's annoying. It's fucking annoying. Excuse me. Pardon my man. Let's go ahead and move on to the next one because I get real mad. Oh, yeah. Y'all know what time it is, y'all. This is dude, I got the munchies. One of my favorite segments, one of our most viral segments as well, where we cover left-hand cigarette foods. Yes, gamer foods, fat boy foods. Um, you know, I can't stop without getting my sweets before I eat. You know what I'm saying? Type of segment. We gotta make sure we cover left-hand cigarette foods the best way we can. All right. We cover viral foods every week. And without further ado, let's go ahead and get to our first one. Because this is dude. I got the munchies. I like that. Hopefully, I get this right. Alright, there we go. Okay, hopefully, let's get this one remove. Let's remove this. Okay, there we go. All right, all right. That's a little better. Okay. Now, can everybody see on screen? We should be good. Don! Get the table. My dog, D Von in the building, man. What's going on, man? What's going on? That's my dog. Yo, we gotta talk, man. We gotta talk. Y'all, Costco is testing many croissant donuts and select warehouses. And yes, we gotta talk. 20 pastries for $9.99 in glaze and cinnamon sugar varieties. Now, shoppers are comparing them to the famous Cranot. Some people may not know about it, except Costco gives you enough to feed a small family. Yes, they do, for less than a price of two originals. All right. Reviews are mixed. Some people love them, and there's others that are calling them dry as hell. Okay, I'm gonna be honest. Some people are saying it's dry as hell. But I mean, hey, you can go ahead and try right now a Costco for $9.99. Why not? So this may depend heavily on how fresh your warehouse keeps the bakery. Because if the bakery ain't fresh, then maybe you're getting some stale croissant donuts, right? So you need to check your Costco bakery, see what's going on. Now, Costco is also rolling out. It's ice latte freeze, it's gonna be rolling it into a lot more food courts. I just want to keep that on screen right now. This is okay, for everybody taking a look, the ice latte freeze. Yes, ice latte freeze coming into more food courts, okay, and customers say it tastes like a Starbucks Frappuccino. I want to repeat. Customers say Costco's ice latte freeze tastes like a Starbucks Frappuccino at half the price. And although the reported sugar and calorie numbers sounded like breakfast, lunch, dinner, uh, brunch, all that in one. I ain't gonna lie, I'm still gonna do it. I'm gonna do it, man. I'm gonna do it. And I ain't gonna lie, I got so much caffeine, man. I think it I want to say this is equivalent to six shots of espresso, right? Like this is this thing, I have you buzzing. So, nonetheless, you know, shout out to everybody. I think you should go ahead and try, you know, Costco's iced uh latte. You know, I'm all for the iced lattes, man. A lot of people, some people are down with them, some people are not. I ain't gonna lie, I started turning into a boozy bitch recently. You know, I mean, I shouldn't, I shouldn't, I know that's wrong for me to say. Why am I turning into a bougie bitch, nigga? Why? You know what I'm saying? But I ain't gonna lie, I be drinking a seven brew. I didn't have Dutch bros. You know what I'm saying? You know you didn't turn a boo when you get Dutch bros, you turn into a bougie chick. That's like seven brew. When you get seven brew, you turn into a bougie chick. Starbucks is not as boozy no more, right? Starbucks is not as bougie. Yeah, it's expensive. There you go. As Shane said, it's expensive, bro. He nailed it, he nailed it right there. It's expensive. So now, let's go ahead and move on to the next one. I ain't gonna hold y'all up, but I want to pull up a delicious picture. A delicious picture. All right, let's go ahead and take that out. Get that out of here. Okay, y'all. You see it. Yes, you do. You see it. You see it, you see it, you see it. Oh my lord. Mm-mm. I almost can't talk. Almost speechless. I just made myself home. Is this right now in the store? Y'all, Bluebell is celebrating National Ice Cream Month with a limited edition chocolate lava cake flavor featuring vanilla ice cream, chocolate cake pieces, chocolate sundae sauce, and a dark chocolate fudge swirl. Some fans are disappointed that the base is vanilla instead of chocolate. I've heard some people complain. I don't even know why you're complaining. You need to be happy you got it. Vanilla ice cream is exactly what you would normally put on top of a hot lava cake. You don't know. That's why you said that. That's why you said that. So I understand the decision. I am with you, blueberry. We are here. Okay, we are here. Now, it is available in pints and half gallons for a limited time. Sounds like the kind of ice cream where you open a container for two scoops, and next thing you know, it's gone. I've been there. You're crying over your ex. I've never done that, by the way. But and you get the ice cream out, you just take a big and you will have this for dinner. Yes. Okay. Five minutes, you're scraping the bottom. Y'all, how do y'all feel about the uh bluebell chocolate lava cake? Would you give it a try? I'm not gonna lie, it's fire. I can tell you. I haven't even tried it yet. It's fire. What do we even need to talk about? New chocolate lava cake ice cream from Bluebell. Holler to you. Move on to the next one. Let's go. Like I told you, we gotta we gotta get to it. I took a little long on the other ones, but I'm back. I'm back though. I am I my fault, my fault, y'all. I'm tripping. I am tripping. I'm tripping. We back. Okay. There we go. Okay. So who is this? Oh man, come on, man. Hold on. I gotta do this, y'all. You know what I mean? We we live, man. My man, hit it when we live. Hold on. Where's the do not disturb? I gotta do it now. I wasn't gonna do it. I wasn't gonna do do not disturb, but I'm gonna do it now. Alright, there we go. Right. My man, we live. My man just hit me up and called me, but we live. We live. He knows we live. Okay. That's DJC Money for those who don't know. Anyways, y'all see this. I can't wait. I couldn't wait to talk about this, man. I couldn't wait. Y'all, first, I want to say, I feel like, what is it? Is it the Patty LaBelle? The one who got the sweet potato pie. Is it the Patty LaBelle? Let me see. Patty LaBelle, sweet potato. Yeah, it's the Patty LaBelle, sweet potato pie. Okay, I had to make sure. So uh I feel like the Patty LaBelle and the Dolly Parton is like so such such a racial thing, right? Like, oh Dolly Parton is for the white people, and and we got we got Patty LaBelle, we got the sweet potato pie. Oh, yeah. Like, I feel like that's where it went, right? Because it, but nonetheless, I eat them both. So I'm I'm with it. Okay, I'm with them both. Dolly Parton has three new frozen cookie and custard desserts hitting stores, and I'm not gonna lie, they look delicious, and I will be trying them. Okay. We have banana cream, chocolate mud pie, and vanilla shortbread. Okay, each box includes four individual cups that you thaw overnight in the refrigerator with custard cookies, whipped topping, and even more cookie pizzas piled on top. Now, chocolate mud pie is obviously my type of jam, as you know, with the the last one, right? Like, I ain't gotta say more. But banana cream sounds like a banana pudding frozen snack dream. I cannot lie. And Dolly already has music, movies, cookware, comfort food, everything. So she's slowly just taking this by storm. So I gotta shout her out. Dolly Pardon, keep doing your thing for everybody. How do you feel about the cookies and custard? Will you go try this? I've never had a cookies and custard before, but I'm not gonna lie, it looks delicious. And you can see down below, Dolly Pardon. Yes, the 250th anniversary sugar cookies. She's been doing her thing, kind of 4th of July related, too. So, Dolly, do your thug dizzle. All right, nonetheless, let's go ahead and move on to the next one. Oh man, we are killing it. This next one, I'm so happy about. I'm so happy about this next one, y'all. Finally, man. What sounds I got? I gotta find some sounds. I'm giving this the Wolfpack, y'all. Yo, yo, we got the ore Ida Christmas. How long has it been? They finally brought him back. Now they is, my friend.

Wolfpack is back.

SPEAKER_01 1:10:17

Um, all right, there we go. There we go. Okay. But y'all, after being discontinued around three years ago, I was hurt. A lot of people were hurt. There was even a petition to bring it back. Or Ida Crispers are officially returning, and this time they're staying permanently. These fries have crinkle style shape, and I know what you might be saying. Oh, that's crinkle fries. Nope, nope, nope, nope, nope. Crunchy outside and a soft, fluffy center, and fans were serious about getting them back. Hell, that petition had 1800 signatures on it. Yes, people were serious. They are already appearing at select retailers with a wider rollout planned for later this year. Y'all, I'm telling you, this proves that sometimes internet petitions work. Okay, they do work. We we come together, we band together, we can get some, especially when the cause involves getting something that is crispy, delicious, potato-y, goes into an air fryer or an oven and comes out delicious. Can I get a hallelujah for Or Ida Christmas? Beautiful. Big shout out to Ab too. Ab is clipping it up, man. Ab, whatever game you want, man. Just tell me, bro. You can pick two. Pick two. You know what I'm saying? Ab, you can get whatever, man. Hey, it's up to you, man. Whatever you want. You know what I'm saying? What you want me to do to do the joint and then get you? You get first tips. You know what I'm saying? You get all no, I'm just flopping. I'm stop. That's off. That was off record. I don't know why I did that on record. No, it's off record. Ab, I wouldn't put it. Anyway, let's go ahead and move on to the next one. All right, because I ain't got no more to say. Or either Crispers. We already know. How do y'all feel about or either Crispers? How do y'all feel? We know how I feel. Okay, we know how I feel. Bam. Oh jam. Oh jam. Oh, this one. It ain't gonna let me add the image. Let's do a better image, right? We'll do this one. Uh okay, that works. And let's do this image. That one works. Beautiful image. I like this one. Alright, so we're gonna put this image up on screen. Right now. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Don't try to do me. Do TV. Don't do me. Do TV. Don't play with it. Alright, there we go. This image worked. Bye. Okay. So there we go. That's a lot better. So, y'all. Pringles Shane looks like hot chips. Yo, I know what you're talking about. Uh, Pringles has created 7.5 inch potato-based hot dog buns. Yes, they have. I know. Pringles has created 7.5 inch potato-based hot dog buns. This shit sounds so stupid. I don't know what to do. But nonetheless, 7.5 inch potato-based hot dog buns designed to fit inside an actual Pringles can. And they come in sour cream and onion, barbecue and honey mustard flavors. Now, the buns are available through limited time online drops and come free when you purchase a three-pack of matching Pringles flavors. I do want to try these buns, I'm gonna be honest. Pringles recommends putting chips directly on the hot dog for extra crunch because apparently the flavor bun was not enough flavor. All right. I do not know whether this is a hot dog chip science experiment, uh something that was made in a basement somewhere, but I'm here. I'm here for it. Okay. Like I want to try the I want to try the barbecue one, the honey mustard one, and the sour cream one. Like, I want to know how do y'all feel about flavored buns? Let's talk about that. How do y'all feel about flavored hot dog buns? Like when we first got to Doritos Locos tacos, y'all remember that Doritos Taco Shell? I seen how y'all was getting. Okay, I see how y'all was getting. But how do y'all feel about flavored buns for your hot dogs, your burgers, your chicken sandwiches, things like that? I think that is very creative. I think it's very creative. But Prinkle, shout out to you. All right, shout out to you. Let's go ahead and move on. Two, two, two, two, two. The next one, one, one, one, one. All right, there we go. Bam! Oh, oh, damn. That shit looked good. I ain't gonna lie. I ain't gonna lie, man. I hope they don't mess it up. But this is big, this is big news, y'all. Reese's pieces is getting its first major US update in 10 years, bro. 10 years, and Reese's Pieces is like addicting. It's one of my favorite candies, and the fact they're changing it, I'm kind of hey, hey, you better watch it. Okay. But Reese's Pieces is getting its first major US update in 10 years with a new version built around a crispy chocolate cookie center. Each piece has the cookie crunch with the signature Reese's peanut butter flavor and the classic candy shell. And the new pouches launched nationwide on July 17th. And I don't know how I feel. I'm a little torn, okay? This is a smart upgrade because Reese's did not replace the peanut butter or completely reinvent the candy. So it's smart.

SPEAKER_00 1:15:46

But I mean, they just added another layer of chocolate crunch, like we we like the peanut butter in Reese's pieces.

SPEAKER_01 1:15:54

The point is peanut butter, and you just added a cookie in it. I think you just destroyed it. Like for those, I and I'ma just double down on this and I'm gonna I'm gonna prove it to you, Reese's pieces. MM's has a peanut butter flavor. Majority of people who like MM's do not typically like the peanut butter flavor, but the people who like MM peanut butter, or excuse me, the people who like MM peanut butter flavor the best don't want to mess with the MM peanut butter flavor. They don't want nothing to happen with their peanut butter and their MMs. It's the same thing with the Reese's pieces. You don't mess with the peanut butter. So I don't think this is gonna do well. But Reese's pieces used to be dangerous at the movie theater, bro. Like you go through a whole box, you know what I'm saying? Like some sunflower scene. You know what I mean? But now they they turned into bite-sized peanut butter cookies. So I don't know how I feel. How do y'all feel about the Reese's Pieces new flavor with the chocolate cookie center? How do y'all feel? And that y'all is dude. I got the munchies. Bam! Let's go ahead and get on to the next one. We almost done. I gotta hurry up and get through this, y'all. I was supposed to be a lot quicker. Y'all's my fault. I'm actually behind on the show. So I might I might try to run through this a little quicker. Uh, indie game of the week. For those who do not know, some people on Twitch actually seen me play this, but game of the week, y'all. Ascend to Zero. That is the game of the week, okay? Ascend to Zero is a time-bending action role like developed by Flyway Games and published by Crafton. Okay. I received, yes, I, me, okay. I gotta say it again. I received early access and spent some time playing it live. I can tell you Ascend to Zero is definitely a great game. Okay. Those who did not hear me, it is a time-bending action roguelike developed by Flyaway Games and published by Crafting. The early access that I played, I instantly knew it's a hit. I like it. I love the gameplay loop, it's very addictive and just the whole time mechanic. I love it. It actually launches tomorrow on Steam, Xbox Series X, and Xbox on PC. Okay, so for all those who want to try it, be on the lookout for it. Um, Ascend to Zero. Okay, so you can go ahead and play it. I actually believe it launches on Game Pass. So if you have Game Pass, you can go ahead and do it and play it right away starting tomorrow or might be midnight, right? You like the digital, all you digital guys. The feature that separates this from the usual roguelike stuff is the ability to freeze time during battle. I'm telling you, that is the major thing. I didn't even get it at first when I was first playing. Then by the end, bam, was mastering it. Okay. Enemies surround you, the screen will fill up. Um, you you don't know what to do because you got all these attacks happening, but you can instantly stop everything, reposition your character, see the biggest threat, unlock anything you need, get all the different power-ups, and bam! There you go. You go right back into it, and it turns what's like a chaotic, how could I say it? Uh a chaotic bullet held. That's what they call it. I couldn't think of the word. It almost turns it from like a chaotic bullet hell to almost like a roguelike RPG style. It's it's very weird, but the mechanic works, and I want to send a big shout out to Flyway Games for blessing us for playing it and giving us access to the early version. We will be playing it more. The other twist that I did not mention is that you only got 30 seconds. I probably should have said that first. Yes, when you're freezing time, you only have 30 seconds to finish the entire stage. So you only have 30 seconds to save humanity. Just think about it like that. From a mechanical invasion, you're defeating powerful enemies. You can you can reclaim time on some portions, right? To extend the run, but there is very little downtime because you are constantly fighting. You your character is trying to watch the clock while freezing, keeping the clock alive. This game is something else, man. Your weapons, you're you're constantly upgrading weapons. You love when your stats grow because now you can last longer. So, this is one of those games that I'm not gonna lie, you're just gonna probably pop in, play for 20 minutes, 30 minutes, cut off, jump back in, play for an hour, jump out. Like, big shout out to Ascender Zero. Um it has an explosive progression system, man. Like, I say explosive because I didn't expect it to take me like that, right? So, tons of skill effects and everything. Everybody, go check out um ascended zero. All right, go check out Cinder Zero Flyway Games. Big shout out, big salute to flyway games for letting us go ahead and play it. Something special here, y'all. Y'all got something special. Okay, if anyone enjoys roguelikes, this is where it's at. You can go ahead and try it. Speaking of, and I'm gonna see if I have do I have any clips of me? Ah, so there we go. So, my man got uh I'm gonna put some clips up right here. Okay, I do. I got some clips right here. So let's go ahead and just see a quick clip of the game so people who have not seen it can be able to see the game, right? And just get a quick clip of it. I'm gonna go ahead and I'll share the screen so you guys should be seeing the screen along with me, okay? Share screen, and there we go. Twitch. Alright. So I'm gonna play. They want 36. Oh my god. So this is me playing it, and you see right now I have time frozen. I'm gonna try to do this because I really need it. Yeah, time's frozen. I'm going through unlocking everything. I got like 9.59 seconds. I'm at what is that level 2,000 and something? So I'm like leveling up like crazy. You see all the different things I'm going through, trying to figure out like what's the best thing for me to do, right? Like, notice I get all the way there, boss monsters. I don't know what to do, bro. There, I'm I'm so underpowered on all of them. Have no idea what to do. So, what does Nick do? Nick decides to go all the way back. And I I know you did not do this, Nick, for real. Hold on, let's see what I did. So there we go. Bam, froze time again. Got him.

unknown 1:22:32

Yeah, I'm done.

SPEAKER_01 1:22:33

Oh, well, I'm dead. Look, I only got 0.48 seconds left. I'm just not strong enough. That's it. I'm done. Finito. That's it. Once I start it again, it's done. I don't have any time to do anything. 0.4 seconds left, and I actually boosted it up to 45 seconds. Y'all see that. So let's stop sharing. The game is amazing, man. So nonetheless, big shout out. Big shout out. Big shout out. Ascend a zero. Flyway games. Now, let's go ahead and move on. Last but not least. Choose! Yo! Y'all, choose your fate. You know what we do here. Choose your fate. There is two tough choices. You must pick one or the other. That is it. Can't go no further. Let's get to the show because I'm behind. I ain't got too much time. I gotta get to it. Okay, we're gonna go ahead and hit video and let's get it in. There we go. Okay. So, bam! Oh, damn. We doing it like this today. Who wins in a head-to-head battle? Marcus and Dom or Master Chief and the Arbiter. Master Chief and the Arbiter, easily. This is not a close battle. Master Chief by himself, I think, could possibly take Marcus and Dom. But when you bring the Arbiter into it, it is a domination fest. Um, they have futuristic weaponry, right? Like, and I know you're gonna say, you know, Marcus and Dom, post-apocalyptic world, and all. Yo, do you know the type of stuff they got? They're gonna be completely Master Chief's gonna be completely invisible the whole time along with the Arbiter. They got so much cloaking technology and all types of things. It's over. Marcus and Dom don't stand a chance. It's a very easy battle. Master Chief and the Arbiter, hands down, is winning this battle. Now, who do y'all got between Marcus and Dom? Master Chief and Arbiter. Boom. All right. My man D Von said Master Chief and the Arbiter. Of course. I told y'all, man. It's an easy one, man. You don't even you don't even gotta think of this one. Come on, as much as I like Marcus and Dom. Even if you would have put Marcus in the cold train, I still would have said no. You know what I'm saying? You gotta put the cold train with TJ. Oh, no, that ain't it. TJ Combo ain't gonna do it either. They're gonna kill TJ Combo. Yo, let's go ahead and move on to the next one. Let's move on to the next one, man. Alright, let's see. Let's see. Fast forward some. Ooh. Ooh. Ooh. Well, this is a toughie. This is toughie.

SPEAKER_02 1:25:15

Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm.

SPEAKER_01 1:25:17

Actually, it's not. I'm gonna take that back. It's not a toughie. It's not a toughie. I had to think it over. Because one I don't know fully about. The other one I do. So, who wins in a head-to-head battle? Joel and Ellie or Lucia and Jason. Joel and Ellie is gonna beat the hell out of Lucia and Jason. This is gonna be very easy. Lucia and Jason, we don't know much about you yet. And I understand y'all doing all the heist. Y'all got the assault rifles, y'all got all the weaponry. I understand that. Y'all got money, y'all got power, everything. You have no idea what it's like to survive a post-apocalyptic world. That is something that many people will never ever ever ever ever ever ever in their life experience. So, anyone, and I mean anyone who triumphs past that and gets out of it and is worthy enough to be able to fight you, you lose. It's as simple as that. They go through, they they go through fighting everybody and everything all day, every day. Like there's no chance you're winning. Joel and Ellie, hands down. So I like to ask who y'all got between Joel and Ellie or Lucia and Jason. Alright. Let's go ahead and see to the chat. T-Born Joel and Ellie. Great answer, my man. Great answer. I gotta say myself, great answer. You know, I guess great mind think alike. But Joel and Ellie, yes, that's it. That's an easy one for me. I don't think Lucia. It is too early for Lucia and Jason. Y'all gotta earn your keep first. Earn your keep. Okay. Ooh, and you're right. I do agree with that one. Survival skills are gonna win. You know, you can have all that money and all that, but they they've been surviving, bro. Like, you ain't seen a chance. This one is interesting. Okay, this is an interesting battle. Who wins in a head-to-head battle? Omni Man or Kratos? This is an interesting battle. I'm gonna go Kratos on this one, even though I don't believe Kratos can just single-handedly beat everybody. I don't think he can beat every god. I do think Kratos loses, loses a couple battles, right? But for this one, Kratos is beating Omni Man. I just think Omni Man is gonna have advantages with certain things like speed and other, but Kratos has beat gods that had some of the best powers you could imagine. And Omni Man has some of those powers that these other gods had that Kratos has fought. So, just for that, like the strength that Omni Man has, Kratos has fought gods with more strength, if I'm not mistaken. Okay, somebody can correct me on that. Okay. But I got Kratos for this one. Okay, I just got Kratos. And Omni Man is a tough ass, man. I think this is a pretty tough battle. I do think it's a tougher battle. But I think Kratos wins this. I think he wins pretty good. It's not a, you know, I give him 60-40. Right? So that means they fight 10 times. He wins 6. 6.5. Hell, I'll give him 7. No, I'll take a 7. He's gonna win seven out of 10 times. I do have that much confidence in Kratos. Um, so I got Kratos over Omni Man. All right, final answer. That's a tough one, man. Shit. Don draw. Yo, I'm with you on that, man. I'm with him. Yo, them two right there. I would love to see that one. I would love to see this battle. I and I haven't even. Yo, shout out to the team. Big kudos for this one because that was a great, great head-to-head battle. I am very curious who will win that battle. I'm curious to hear when I post this what other people think. Omni Man and Kratos. Like, I've seen what Omni Man can do. Like, Omni Man makes some of the best look like nothing. That's crazy. And Kratos done it too, so that's a tough one. Nonetheless, I'll go with Kratos, though. Alright, go with Kratos. Let's go to the next one. Alright, let's see what this next one is. Alright. Okay. Okay. I think I got my answer for this one. Who wins in a head-to-head battle? Doom Slayer or Space Marine Titus? I'm gonna go with Doom Slayer. And I think Doom Slayer pretty convincingly. I do think Space Marine Titus is very underrated. I think a lot of people would probably say he gets demolished in this battle. I don't think he gets demolished. I actually think it's a tougher battle than people think. But I do think if they fight 10 times, this is another 7 out of 10, where Doom Slayer is winning 7 out of 10 times. And Doom Slayer has the capability, to be honest, to win 8.59 out of 10 times. It's just the strength. He gets stronger as he fights, like healing and all types of things. It's just so much ahead of Space Marine Titus that I just do not think he stands a chance. So I have to say, hands down, this one to me goes to Doom Slayer in a head-to-head battle. Both of them have similar builds, they're both very powerful. But if I have to go with one, I'm going with Doom Slayer. Final answer. Get wooded. What sound I got? Alright, stop. Stop. Damn. Damn shit. Okay. Dvon Doom Slayer. Yeah, I go with that Doom Slayer. And Space Marine ain't no punk. I ain't gonna act like Space Marine Punk. And you know, I'm not a Warhammer guy either. Like, I never ever watched a Warhammer cartoon series, played a Warhammer board game, anything. I have played Warhammer on the PlayStation. I ain't gonna lie. I played on the Xbox 2. Your Warhammer games sometimes be going in. Them little action games, don't cap. The Warhammer action games be going in, but I got Doom Slayer for this one. I do got Doom Slayer. Let's go ahead and move on to the next one. Alright, let's see what we're working with. Damn. Damn. We're getting spicy with it, y'all. Who wins in a head-to-head battle? Nightwing and Batman? Or Peter and Miles Morales, man? Peter and Miles Morales is winning this battle. And even though I feel like Batman is really like Batman's so underrated. I think Batman is one of the most underrated superheroes there is. And yes, superhero. He is so underrated. But I still have to say Peter and Miles simply because the superpowers. The superpowers are amazing between the two. I mean, we dimension warping. We're talking next level, like pick up a whole tank. You know what I'm saying? Like if you're picking up a tank and throwing it, then that that strength alone, okay, is what's going to make Peter and Miles win this. There, there's fast strength. You know, I can't say anything else. That's it. I because other than that, I like Nightwing and Batman. I do think when it comes to the mental side of it, they are going to win. Um agility. I was gonna say agility agility. Agility. There we go. Agility. I was gonna say they win. But when it comes to Peter and Miles, I think they got it. I think they got it, man. So endurance, they might get. But one thing I would give to Batman and Nightwing is Batman mentally is so underrated that he could possibly figure out a weakness to everything Peter and Miles do. And if he could capitalize on it, they could possibly make it. But I just flat out Peter and Miles. I got Peter and Miles, man. So Don Batman. He said, Batman and Nightwing. Nothing beats intelligence. I ain't gonna lie, they got intelligence hands down. Like that is, they got that one. This one I think is a tougher battle than we think. I think Peter and Miles win six out of ten times. So which means 40% of the time Nightwing and Batman would win. I get 60% to Peter and Miles. I might go 6.5, might go 65%. Right? It's just me. It's a good one, though. That was a damn good one. I ain't even mad at that one. Like, that's nice. Hmm. Who wins in a head-to-head battle? Isaac Clark or Leon Kennedy. Very easy. Isaac Clark beats the hell out of Leon Kennedy. Now, Leon Kennedy, you are, man, hey, military training and all that, man. You probably a beast where you're your side of town. But I don't think you met Isaac. You know what I'm saying? I don't think you met Isaac Clark, man. This dude has been on a spaceship for I don't know how long, right? He's got all types of future weaponry. Okay. I don't know if you've seen his armor. The man has battled some of the craziest stuff. Now you've battled some crazy stuff too, Leon. I ain't gonna hate on you. But I don't think you stand a chance against this man right here. Okay, so I'm single. This is very easy. Leon, you are gonna get a mud hole stumped in your ass by Isaac Clark. Final answer, Isaac wins in a head-to-head battle.

unknown 1:34:58

Got it.

SPEAKER_01 1:34:59

Alright. Now, what y'all got for that one? Boss, boss claimed this game. Congratulations, boss, man. What I got for you, man. Good way to claim it. Good way to claim it. Armor suit versus armor vest. Literally. Like literally, that's what it is. You know what I'm saying? Like it's no competition. You got a vest and then a full damn armor suit. Oh, but you got Isaac Clark. I figure you got Isaac. You know what I'm saying? Like, that ain't even a competition. That ain't even a competition with that one. Now, who wins in a head-to-head battle? Sephiroth or Virgil? Damn, man, because y'all know, man. I one of these guys I love so much. And I feel like I can't pick him because I feel like he would lose. But I'm gonna pick him anyway. Sephiroth is gonna win this battle. Yes, single-handedly gonna win. He don't need no help. This is probably the toughest battle of all battles we have been over today. We are talking, the speed is gonna be out of this world for this fight. Virgil is probably gonna be the most worthy adversary Sephiroth is ever gonna fight in his entire life. He a lot of people will say he won't come out that battle victorious, but I'm sad to say to all of you that Sephiroth is very underestimated and he will win this battle. I'm not gonna give you all the facts because I don't have many. But I will say, Virgil's going to lose to Sephiroth because Sephiroth has something that Virgil does not have.

SPEAKER_00 1:36:42

Big nuts.

SPEAKER_01 1:36:48

Now, let's go to the chat. Let's go to the chat. Zion. Virgil. I ain't mad at you, Zion. I want I ain't gonna lie, Virgil's gonna win, man. Like, I got I feel like Virgil gonna win, but I love Sephiroth so much I can't go, I can't go away from my dog. Yes, I feel like Virgil's gonna beat his ass. Oh God, I can't believe I did it. Virgil's gonna whoop. Alright. Divon! Sephiroth! My man Seph ain't no joke, man. You know what I'm saying? He he one of them. He one of them. But I'm not gonna lie. This is a uh this is a very good battle. If I had to say out of 10 times they battle, I think this is 50-50. I give it 50% Sephiroth, 50% Virgil. Others may disagree. Alright, so let's go to Zion. We got some facts. Let's go to some facts here for Zion, okay? He can move faster than light. He also has a black hole he can summon, just like Dante. Hmm, okay. Let's see what facts I can pull up. Can I pull up some facts? You know, I ain't gonna have too much time to research. So if I can't pull up some facts in a couple seconds, I'm not gonna pull up anything, okay? Um I don't know. Sephiroth has godlike magical manipulation and can cast catamalit uh catamalismic spells. Okay? Magical manipulation. Why can't he just manipulate Virgil? God like to godlike magical manipulation. I'm sorry, I got I got my dog. I got Sephiroth. I got him. Ain't nothing you can tell me. That's what I'm reading right here. Now I give you, if I pull up Virgil, right? Let me go ahead and click. Right? Let me pull it up. Okay. Virgil, he got that damn dark katana. Okay, it slices through the fabric of space and dimensions, entirely bypassing a target's physical or magical durability. Damn. Damn. That should sound like it's gonna kill everything. Okay, but still, he got magical manipulation. He's gonna boop godlike too. So that's a battle. That's a battle. We gotta, you know, we gotta discuss it. That's one. That's one. But nonetheless, we're gonna move on. We're gonna move on. We ain't gonna keep talking, Zion. I gotta say it. Nah, you gotta, that was a good reason, though. You're right. He is fast. Oh, no, they did. No, they did not. Who wins in a head-to-head battle? Michael and Trevor or Arthur and John. Y'all, I'm sad to say, people gonna think I'm crazy for this. I got Michael and Trevor. I got Michael and Trevor, y'all. I'm sorry, and not even because of Michael. Y'all don't understand what a high souped-up meth head is capable of. Trevor is going to destroy both of them, bro. He don't even need Michael. You could have put just Trevor over there. Do y'all know what the type of stuff that Trevor be doing? He's gonna be capable. Man, Trevor is gonna walk in there with rocket launchers. He's gonna have all the proximity mines and grenades, every type of assault right. Like Trevor don't need Michael for this. He don't. Trevor's gonna have enough methamphetamines to take him places that Arthur and John will never be able to go. This is very easy. Michael and Trevor. And Michael can just sit back in the cut and supply Trevor. Final answer. Michael and Trevor. And I love Arthur and John. They got the don't they got the dead aim ability with it? But you don't understand. You could do that. And I think you could shoot Trevor in the head. He's gonna be on methamphetamines. Like, he's still going. You know what I mean? That's just me. That's just me. Ab, Michael and Trevor. I agree, man. I agree. That's Michael and Trevor, man. All day. All day. Now, do we got any more? We ain't got no more, y'all. And that is choose your face.
