Everybody give it up for Mr Amazing. On today's Game of Traffic Show, we're going to talk about the latest news for Xbox and PlayStation. Mr Amazing, are you ready? Mr?
Speaker 2:Amazing. It was a lot, man. I got a lot of you Between Xbox, PlayStation, Game Fest, Nintendo. It's a lot going on these last few days, man, but we here.
Speaker 1:Yeah, we here, we here, we here. Might be a little late on some things, but we here and we here to stay. Damn it. All right, mr Amazing, let's talk about some of the interesting stuff that happened at the PlayStation State of Play. Mr Amazing, mm-hmm, playstation didn't even forget about VR. The VR game Thief is coming out. Mr Amazing, a new protagonist. Wait, what was that protagonist?
Speaker 2:Protagonist is just a good person isn good person. Yeah, that's appropriate. That's what I'm saying, I'm pronouncing it right?
Speaker 1:Yeah, if it's involved in this game, it's amazing. That's your question. Yeah, so you think if they have a good show on VR, people will show interest in the game. Possibly?
Speaker 2:A different way to play it, yeah, so I do think it can actually make a nice little run and probably draw the fans back in.
Speaker 1:If it gets rated well, I have what would you say, good sales for VR game.
Speaker 2:If it's a million, I think it went well. I think a million is good for VR.
Speaker 1:I think VR lost momentum when the pandemic came. Remember in New York City, the VR world. Where's the VR world? Yeah, it's gone. I know We'll have a big VR. We call I wouldn't say stadium, but we'll say entertainment in Connecticut Entertainment Center. That was cut off.
Speaker 2:And even the spot we used to go to buy in Fresh Metals. I don't want to get specific, but it's Fresh Metals. They had like a nice little VR thing there too that's gone too yeah, right, by the theater the Hooters, they had a VR world thing right there. I did not know that yeah, that's gone too I believe.
Speaker 2:I only knew about the movie theater and Hooters yeah, right, they created a VR world right there too. Wow, yeah, that's gone too. Remember at that point before the pandemic VR was hitting a stride. Remember when we went to the game show and there was the.
Speaker 1:VR stuff. Yeah, vr stuff.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it was hitting a stride at that time, pre-pandemic, vr was the thing man, everybody and mama was all about the VR world.
Speaker 1:Unfortunately, the pandemic came and it just halted it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it did, and I think, out of all the things that took a hit, I think VR is the one that took the largest hit, to actually be honest with you.
Speaker 1:Yeah, but, mr Amazing, let's also talk about Mortal Kombat Legacy Collection, which includes 20. This is 20 games, mr Amazing, including what? Mortal Kombat 92 Arcade, also including Mortal Kombat 2, mortal Kombat 3, ultra Mortal Kombat, mortal Kombat 4, mortal Kombat Advance, mortal Kombat Deadly Alliance, mr Amazing, mortal Kombat Tournament Edition for the Game Boy, mr Amazing. It goes on and on. Mr Amazing, what do you think about us coming out this fall?
Speaker 2:No, it's good. I mean, everybody has their, their classic collections where everybody's like, hey, what about us?
Speaker 1:They always wondered about that they were due.
Speaker 2:How many Street Fighter?
Speaker 1:collections are there.
Speaker 2:There's tons of them. I can't even. I looked at the one I got and I was like shoot, I forgot I had this collection. Still, this plastic wrap, yo the one for PS4?. Yeah, I still got it too.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I'm not the biggest Street Fighter fan. I do buy the games, yeah yeah. And I'm enjoying the new one. They have Street Fighter VI. Yeah, because they do have the modern mode and that's what I used to play.
Speaker 3:Because the same was.
Speaker 1:I can't do that stupid some of the supers, but I lose the stick. You guys lose the pad. I'm a pad player. I lose the stick. But before let's go back to Mortal Kombat, this is the first time I had a collection. Only time you get a collection was on where, mr Amazing? Can you remember off the top of your head?
Speaker 2:what is it? I was going to say something with Nathan A Kabanis on Dreamcast RK-1 wow, really RK-1 had a collection. I didn't know that. Yes, that's a.
Speaker 1:I thought about buying it one time I was like no, I never thought about buying it and do I have the room for it? Now I have the room for it, unless you know. But like I said RK I don't have to go off the subject. Unless something really big happens, I will get another Arcade 1 up. But this is going to interest me. But back to Mortal Kombat. This is big, this is really big. I mean it comes with games for the Arcade version NES version of the game, Game Boy Advance version of the to play in the collection. Well, how much do you think it's going to cost, Mr Mason?
Speaker 2:Oh, if you're getting up to about 20 games, I think it's going to be about 80 bucks. You think it's 80 bucks in the trust?
Speaker 1:man it's 70.
Speaker 2:It's 70. 69.99.
Speaker 1:Yeah, 69.99. Yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah, 70 bucks. I'm thinking Nintendo prices, sorry. Well, you know, ip it's a collection, so I think it'll be $70 the way the industry is man yo that means you get two jobs.
Speaker 1:You know what I'm saying you get two jobs.
Speaker 2:You're not lying, but I think $69.99 is going to be the price point for that. Alright, $70.
Speaker 1:Alright, mr, amazing anything else. Is this something you want to interest in getting, or are you waiting for me to get?
Speaker 2:it Now. This is definitely not your game. This is definitely not your game, You're not going to get this what. Mortal Kombat? No, not Mortal Kombat, the one I'm about to mention right now.
Speaker 1:Oh, you're talking about Mortal Kombat. What part of it? Mortal Kombat is something you're interested in getting.
Speaker 2:Uh yeah, I'm going to wait until you get that one. Oh yeah, basically.
Speaker 1:I'm more of the Mortal Kombat Tekken person. Yeah, Because basically you don't have that big stupid circle and all the other crap.
Speaker 2:I like those little complicated games.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I can make. Mortal Kombat is very complicated and Tekken Probably wouldn't peel butts at Tekken.
Speaker 3:let me know. Oh, interesting yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:You know, I put it on you. I put it. You don't want to know this, Mr Maze. You don't have to you don't want to be checking now. Mike, you don't scared, so you scared.
Speaker 2:I haven't played in a while. That's all it is with me.
Speaker 1:You scared alright, mr Maze, go on. You want to mention the game?
Speaker 2:go ahead. Well, I mentioned a game that you would never buy. I finally got to get that Mike wouldn't buy but I actually found it very.
Speaker 1:Is it the PlayStation?
Speaker 2:Well, they feature it at the State of Play. It might come out full, since it's all I know it was the and it supports VR. Oh, please don't say that. Yes, I know what you're going to say. Go ahead. Lummi Arise, fall 2004. It's a music game.
Speaker 1:We support VR, you're right.
Speaker 2:Single and multiplayer demo. I actually found it intriguing. It reminded they're not in the old, not pop-up. What's it pop-up? You know those games are entertaining, but this had a nice feel to it. I, I was looking at that. Yo, I think I get down with this. I think it's what shout out to my boy, hector. That introduced me to a lot of these Japanese music games or systems that came out and I actually enjoyed what I was playing. This is fun and this reminded me of the. I was like I know I'm not going to buy it, I know Mike's not going to buy it, but I think this game could be big here. I mean, we'll see. I mean, unless Mike gets it, but I'm not going to buy it. But I thought that I should get an honorable mention on the show Because I did find it pretty interesting the chance that Mike getting it is zero.
Speaker 2:It has VR support, which I thought would make it fun. I do have VR, but I'm still not good about it.
Speaker 1:I think with the VR support it's taking it to another level, though I still wouldn't do it.
Speaker 2:If I had VR 2, I would definitely get that game. It was $5,000, maybe no, that game's going to be full price. That game's going to be full price it ain't happening Because this is down that field. All the rhythm based games, but you know that's not my top choice on the stand up play, but that's something I thought should get an honorable mention. I'm pretty sure you could name some of the ones that I saw from, but okay, go ahead. Metal Gear Solid 4 not Solid 4, you mean Snake Eater oh, it's Metal Gear.
Speaker 1:It's really the fourth installment no, that would be the third, you think that's the third.
Speaker 2:No, that is the third.
Speaker 1:That's the third, sorry.
Speaker 2:Yeah, the second was Sons of Liberty. Yeah, it's still the third.
Speaker 1:Okay, Snake Eater. Sorry, yeah, Snake Eater. That finally got the nice date and you know well we better have a date in August. They had some like monkey capture crap mode too. Bonus mode.
Speaker 2:The game was good to me. Oh no, it was good. I never played it, so this is perfect for me.
Speaker 1:I have the collection.
Speaker 2:I never played it.
Speaker 1:I started to play that I didn't start, I just I turned it off. I never finished it.
Speaker 2:So I'm like maybe this might be a good reason and finish Sons of Liberty. I beat Metal Gear 1. I also beat the one Twin Snake on GameCube, but I never went after that beyond that. So these are perfect times for me to jump into these games. I can jump on Snake Eater and then I mean Sons of Liberty, jump onto Snake Eater with the new remastered version of it, but yeah, that's definitely a game I'm looking at. Can you bet on my top game that I was interested about, mike? Not a top game, but Is it the Marvel token? That look good too. That looks very good actually.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I can't wait for that. That game, I don't know, Astro Bot, Damn right.
Speaker 2:Astro Bot DLC.
Speaker 1:baby Got the DLC drop in this year, is it?
Speaker 2:free. That's the part I didn't say. It didn't say and I was looking for that. They didn't say they didn't say and I was looking for that. And they didn't even give us a release window either.
Speaker 1:I thought they said sometime this summer oh, they said this summer.
Speaker 2:I was looking to see when it's coming out.
Speaker 1:I'm going to buy the controller.
Speaker 2:Of course that looks fun too. The DualSense wireless controller is pretty cool too.
Speaker 1:It's going to sell out real quick, oh, of course, or just going to be straight PlayStation Store.
Speaker 2:Oh, okay, okay, okay, okay. It looked good. I got to say that Then I obviously didn't. I hate the fact that they teased us like that. They showed us the Ghost of what is it Ghost of? Ut, utah, ut. Yeah, because they're saving it for the July in-depth thing that's coming out in July. So next month we'll get an in-depth, deep dive of the mechanics and exploration comebacks. So they showed it, but they're saving it for a big show they're doing in July. So I guess we'll talk about that when that drops. But obviously that's again that has me intrigued, as we all know. And then the number one game for me actually from this show was 007, first Light.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, that was when I saw that. I was like you said something that was interesting to me. You know, often you said that this kid looks outdated. But remember, bond was never a polished game, all the.
Speaker 1:Bonds you picked, never looked polished.
Speaker 2:I think the graphic look kind of that's Bond, though that's how Bond always looks Bond never. You never play a Bond game and come off with like yo, is it the make of a Hitman? Is it the Hitman that makes? Yeah, it's the Hitman, I think it is. I'm not sure.
Speaker 3:I think it's the Hitman.
Speaker 2:But even Hitman doesn't look polished either, if you think about it. Don't disrespect.
Speaker 1:Hitman.
Speaker 2:But it's not a look it Bond too. You don't play for that. You play Bond for, like the entertainment aspect of it the cool cars, the motorcycle he does, and then the whole stuff thing too. So that looks really good to me and I can't wait for that. I think that's a 2026 window, though yeah, that's 2026 yeah, most of these games were 2026, to be honest with you for a release that was shown for the state of play.
Speaker 1:So what do you think about the hardware? We don't know when it's coming. Looks like it's coming out next year.
Speaker 2:Oh, you're talking about the Fight Stick.
Speaker 1:The Fight Stick.
Speaker 2:Oh, it's PS4. No, we got to know. It's PlayStation's first ever produced.
Speaker 1:I never knew that. I know me too. I thought they had produced one before.
Speaker 2:Nah, it's always been third parties man, but that's what's just normal. That happens a lot.
Speaker 1:Ultra low lace wireless connection.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, players be having Project Defiant wireless first stick. So let's see, I don't know what to expect of this.
Speaker 1:I mean it's supposed to be really great USB-C connection. According to PlayStation it's supposed to be so low latency it's in no problem with inputting your fighting moves.
Speaker 2:Oh, that's maybe that might, maybe, maybe that might make me go to the joystick.
Speaker 1:And it also includes a carrying case, which is cool, that's cool.
Speaker 3:Coming out in 2026.
Speaker 2:Give me your price point now, your estimate 150?, guestimate 150?, guestimate 150?. You need 200 bucks. Hell yeah, that's so. You said these things cost, michael.
Speaker 1:I haven't bought a stick in a year 150?
Speaker 2:I forgot to hear you. I haven't bought a stick in a year. That thing you're looking at you're looking more like 250 to 350. That's the price range you're looking at for that and it's Remember sticks don't come wireless. Remember when my boy was building me one. And then just because I wanted wireless, I got an extra 80 bucks I got to add to the price point I was like damn, just because it's wireless yo so remember it's wireless, it's an arcade stick.
Speaker 2:You're looking at $250 to $350, man, that's what you're looking at right now, man, $150,. You're being nice man, I think they might have mentioned the touchpad.
Speaker 1:If you have a touchpad like DualSense, Really this is definitely $250 to $350 range yo.
Speaker 2:I think, I'm not sure. Oh wow, if it does, you definitely put it at the $300 range for me, man. So I'm going to guess between $250 to $350. Definitely between that price point. So this is going to be interesting. It's going gonna be interesting, it's gonna be interesting, but I think it's gonna sell.
Speaker 1:I think it's gonna do very well, yeah. So yeah, it does say in a place in the blog it does have the touchpad oh, you're easily 250 to 350 for that joy it's okay buttons, mechanic switches and a touchpad like on one found on the dual sense. Oh yeah, it sounds promising. I mean it said it's 30 and it's hey.
Speaker 2:did they say it's 30. And it's 30. Did they say it's coming out this year or next year? Did they say 2026. 2026 is having all the fun, man 2026. So you say it's going to be a fun year? I guess they.
Speaker 1:That's awesome. It's amazing. What do you think about the Marvel fighting game, marvel 2.?
Speaker 2:That was bananas.
Speaker 1:Bananas, how do you pronounce the Marvel Tolkien? Tolkien, tolkien, I think that's what it is.
Speaker 2:Yeah, well, yeah, it's from Marvel.
Speaker 1:Tolkien Fighting Souls. What do you think about that, Mr Amazing?
Speaker 2:Yeah, the characters Ghost Rider, doctor Doom Storm, captain America.
Speaker 1:I man, Yo, yo, yo yo Hold up, Shout out Stone hold up shout out Storm looks like a beast, son, she does, she does.
Speaker 2:Actually I try to look dope too the first time.
Speaker 1:I did a play with Storm in a water bottle game. Storm was she was always weak. I like her, but she's weak. Some people could play with her really well, but I had no interest in it. Storm looks hot and she's like she's a bad mama jamma she does. It's like I'm the one B to mess with. Yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah, she does actually.
Speaker 1:And even.
Speaker 2:Marvel, captain Marvel Mm-hmm, she look kind of cool, she does. She does look kind of cool also too, actually.
Speaker 1:The movie, the Marvel movie sucked. That she's in the TV show I didn't watch. I mean you figure around and me and you fiddling around, so we watch it and not watch it I didn't didn't watch it, but the casual is cool in there.
Speaker 3:Iron man is in there this game is promising, of course you know, my homie is in there my Spidey man, spidey.
Speaker 1:Spidey man.
Speaker 2:So is that a must have coming out next year oh yeah, I think that's going to be one of the best games coming out next year as well. But when you think that's gonna come out, I'm gonna think around Evo, so around now like it'll be, it'll be making his face around February, I think later.
Speaker 1:February, march, you think that soon yeah come out there, and you've already announced your DLC characters.
Speaker 2:I'm not saying you're wrong, because there's no right or wrong answer but I can see that most likely. I think it's gonna come out now the new.
Speaker 1:Feist is gonna come out at the same time.
Speaker 2:That's I yes they just introduced that Feist thing. Yeah, but they're gonna come out at the same time, but they are going to want that fight scene to come out for that game.
Speaker 1:So I can see that that's going to come out the fight again.
Speaker 2:But I'm going to give them a release of May June, around that time frame. You said February, I'm going May June. No, I think it's going to be around that time, man, and it's the perfect way to sell and then get people ready for evil. Of course, grand Grand Theft Auto is coming in May.
Speaker 1:Oh, you're right, those are different orders.
Speaker 2:You're right. No, but forget it. Nobody wants to come around to Grand Theft Auto.
Speaker 1:I mean different orders, what you might get. People like yo, if they like both games, which one am I going to get? No, you're not doing that, You're not dropping a game.
Speaker 2:All around Grand Theft, everybody knows not to drop. Remember Mafia and them gays. That was supposed to come out. They held off their release date, wait to see what Grand Theft Auto was doing and then, as soon as Grand Theft Auto got pushed back, oh we're coming out in August or October, whatever day it was. I forgot now. So I think the same thing. Yeah, you're right. Actually, I take it back my way. You're right. It might be February, february or March. You don. You don't want to come out the same window as Grand Theft Auto.
Speaker 1:The latest is April, beginning of April.
Speaker 2:I think you might be right. I think I changed my mind.
Speaker 1:You're right, they're going to come out with the fight stick at the same time.
Speaker 2:You're right, I agree with you, because you can't come out with the fight stick too late, because they want it to come out for Evo and they want that.
Speaker 1:You know they want to have that game already. The game is already going to be there. Plus, announce the DLC during that game, I mean during Evo. Okay, okay, okay, okay. So that's probably most likely going to happen. Okay, mr Mason. Yeah, what did they go? Was it Pragmatic? Oh, that looks good, that looks hot, that looks hot, see, look.
Speaker 2:I even put a little star next to it cause I was like yo, this game looks good with that little girl hanging on to that astronaut is that girl a robot? Or alien, I think she's like a robot, I think. She's like kind of like artificial intelligence, yeah, artificial intelligence that travels with the, with the, main character.
Speaker 2:I guess, yeah, and then she sees things and helps some guys and she's kind of like Kratos' son in God of War, but a robot. So, um, that game looks nice. I can't wait for that with the drop. But that's another 2026 how about?
Speaker 1:okay, silent Hill F.
Speaker 2:I'm not a Silent Hill person man, so I have to defer that to you.
Speaker 1:I've, like I said, I've played the Silent Hill games. I bought the Silent Hill game but I still haven't got a chance to play. Obviously it's still in bubble wrap.
Speaker 2:Well, this game came out this year, so we actually have a 2025 game in September.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so I'm really interested. It looks more action-y but the game actually good, I actually like the intro to it. And also Mr Mason. What's the? Oh, the Ninja game, neo.
Speaker 2:That looks good too, but those games are hard, but they look good. I have part one and two.
Speaker 1:I still need to complete one. I bought the one full price. The second one I bought it was on sales. I bought it One day I got to sit down and play it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, the cool thing about Nioh is that's coming out early 2026.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so that's all good. So, Mr Amazing, anything else you want to say? Yeah?
Speaker 2:man, I just want to warn you. You're going to be doing September 8th Because there's a game that's coming out that you might like.
Speaker 1:What's September 8th?
Speaker 2:Baby Stats, baby, that kid looks so stupid.
Speaker 1:I'm sorry I didn't watch it live, I watched it. I fast forwarded that part.
Speaker 2:It's so funny. At first I was like this guy's garbage. I started watching it and I was like, oh man, and I can see the fun aspect of it. But remember, I told you this I'm laughing at it, this guy's going to be a big a at it. This game is going to be a big seller. Remember.
Speaker 3:I said that.
Speaker 2:Every time we don't expect a game to do well, it does well, and I think this game is going to do well.
Speaker 1:I can see a point.
Speaker 2:It might be one of those games like oh, this is kind of cool yeah.
Speaker 1:Kind of goofy cool.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but watch it sell. That's what usually sell. I wouldn't be surprised if that game sold.
Speaker 1:Well, Mr Basie, let me ask you before we end the PlayStation part of the show what do you find you didn't see?
Speaker 2:What I didn't see, that I would like to see.
Speaker 1:What you didn't see, because I thought I thought we might have seen the Wolverine game. I didn't think we would see the Wolverine game.
Speaker 2:I thought there was a little more God of War game.
Speaker 1:God of War game posted a 2D slash 3D game. More of a Castlevania looking. I believe I didn't know about that actually. Postcard this fall, allegedly according to rumors well, rumors on Twitter and other sources that that poster was called this fall. So that didn't show up and there's no other third-party games that I mean sorry, first-party games that made an appearance there oh, okay, okay. I said Ghost of Ghost of Totai, that's it, yeah do you know what game I did?
Speaker 2:I did kind of like I think it's an indie game though I think it was indie. Correct me if I'm wrong and it comes out in, I think. So when does it come out? Did I write it down? No, I did not. What was it called? Again, bloodstained, it's in 2026.
Speaker 1:Oh, I didn't talk about it. That looks pretty decent to me, isn't that? Part two? I have Bloodstained for the.
Speaker 2:It's a part two. That's what it is.
Speaker 1:I have Bloodstained for the Nintendo. I'm sorry. The Switch, Nintendo Switch.
Speaker 2:Okay, okay, okay. I thought oh, we didn't even talk about Ninja Gaiden. That looked good too, man, isn't that mostly?
Speaker 1:Xbox.
Speaker 2:That was both systems. It's going to be all systems.
Speaker 1:I'll tell you the difference between the Xbox and the PlayStation 1. The Ninja Gaiden ones yeah, you're going to do it after the Xbox show. Yeah, we'll talk about it, okay. Okay, we're doing Xbox as well, we'll talk about it after Xbox as well.
Speaker 2:So we're going to We'll talk about it after. You're right, it makes more sense. All right, mr Amazing, I think you know. For the PlayStation, I think we touched on, I think we touched on everything that's key points. And I think those tides of tomorrow. That was supposed to be reasonable and then we didn't talk about this, so I think we should mention it only because that Romeo is dead. That actually looks interesting. Yeah, they spoke. They did a big thing with that.
Speaker 3:That looks kind of interesting. Yeah, it does.
Speaker 2:It did look. First I was like what the hell is this thing? I was confused Like I was like, oh, this could be, this is promising.
Speaker 1:I didn't see no shooters. No, they did. They showed you what's a shooter.
Speaker 2:They. No, I'm talking about a shooter game. Oh, a shooter game. You're talking about First person shooter. I'd love to see one of those. I don't think I remember coming across that also, unless you consider Bond Bond?
Speaker 1:yeah, action shooter, mr Amazing. Let's go on to Xbox, mr Amazing. All right, let's talk about the big thing, Mr Amazing. Let's talk about the handheld, mr Amazing. Let's get about the big thing, mr Amazing. Let's talk about the handheld, mr Amazing. Let's get to the point about that.
Speaker 2:Before we get to the point, I just want to say one thing before we get to Xbox and it's Xbox I actually thought for the first time Xbox had the better show. I just want to start off with that, yo, but go ahead, man, and let's dive in. While I think that, though, though, I actually think they had the better show actually.
Speaker 1:That's a state of play. That's a showcase. But according to I forgot where I read it at that was most highly rated, highly watched state of play. State of play, yes, really, I think it's over 3 million views. They had.
Speaker 2:I can see why, though I feel like the views were high, because everything there was so much that week. Think about it. You had a Switch 2, PlayStation Xbox Showcase, and you had the Game Fest.
Speaker 1:But basically it's an E3.
Speaker 2:It was E3. Literally we had E3 last week.
Speaker 1:Basically during this time it was just E3. It would have been E3 features, you're right, without the title.
Speaker 2:Without the title. You know I agree, and GameFest to me was probably. I found a lot of stuff I liked that was on GameFest, to be honest with you, not to say there was nothing on Xbox to think, but a lot of stuff on Xbox to think. But let's dive in on Xbox.
Speaker 1:So let's go straight to the meat. Let's go, mr Mason. All right, all right, all right. So what do you think about the handheld? Because there are two the ROG, the ROG Xbox, ali X, mm-hmm, and also that's the more premium one, amd.
Speaker 2:RZA.
Speaker 1:Yeah yeah, 24 gigabyte memory One terabyte storage Yep, the other one, the lesser yeah it's the Xbox S pretty much 16 gigabyte memory, 512 gigabytes storage. Yeah, so well. It's amazing. One is white, one is black.
Speaker 2:Yeah, the black one's more premium.
Speaker 1:More premium. The white one is like the Xbox Series S To me. What do you think it looks like? It looks like there's these two Xbox logos on it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's the same crap with Xbox logos on it. That's exactly what it is, see. This is why I'm so confused. When we spoke about this and we've spoken about the show, and I was even confused on the show, too, own handheld they're coming out. You said that you are working on, but I haven't heard nothing about that outside of you telling me that, well, they're supposed to work.
Speaker 1:Remember we were talking about I heard it from you because I haven't seen anything. Remember, we were talking about sources, talking about it's supposed to be able to stream on your TV and also have.
Speaker 2:But these can do that too, though am I wrong? Because it makes no sense for Xbox to make that one handheld now Like why would you make a handheld Like Tim? That's just. You're throwing money away at this point if you do that the Rob Xbox handheld man.
Speaker 1:It's happening, but how much do you think it'll cost? Mr Maison, that's a good point. And plus it is. I mean, I didn't mean to cut you off, but I'm like, if this natively. And also, how far back can you play old 360 games on there as well, Probably so because Xbox Cloud gaming practically now Remember Xbox is cloud gaming.
Speaker 2:I look at Xbox as a cloud gaming system now, to be honest with you. So I think you can play any game you want on it, but I don't know if they're going to have the older Xbox games, like you said, like the 360s and the Xbox One games and since it's also a Windows PC device, while all the whistles and bells of a Windows device, will this be?
Speaker 1:It should run faster, mm-hmm. But the thing is, since it's a quote-unquote PC device, will this be a backdoor to play PlayStation games Because they're supposed to be able to get Steam on it?
Speaker 2:Oh, that's pretty cool. That's pretty cool. I mean, that's pretty cool. Actually, I can't. I can't think of that.
Speaker 1:An advice for Xbox LOLs playing Spider-Man, that's gonna be cool.
Speaker 2:I mean, hey, that's why Xbox is around, that's why they want to be all about everyone anywhere.
Speaker 1:Like I said, there's serious questions we have about this and other people have about this. The battery life can you play Xbox game negatively? How much of your backlog can you play on there? Digital backlog can you play on there? And the key point, what's the price? Mismanagement this is kind of hefty devices and we got the, the ROG allied to other devices like 800 bucks yeah.
Speaker 2:I'm going to guess the premium one, the black one. I'm going to give you a price point of 650s.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I was thinking like $600 for the premium one. Yes, the premium one, Freak out of here. You think it's going to be more. Yeah, it's amazing Really. I'm just amazing Really. I'll tell you what the white one, the low end one, $600. The other one $800. You think they'll be that high? Yo, yeah, that's amazing. That's awesome. How much for the Xbox Series X.
Speaker 3:now it went to it's $720.
Speaker 2:The S or the X. The X, the S $720. X is going to give it to you, son, they're going to give it to you. You got that much money for the X now, you're right, the price went up. We talked about it. Yeah, you're right, we did talk about it, yo.
Speaker 1:X-Box is about getting them money. That's a lot of money.
Speaker 2:Any way they can, that's a lot of money. The hardware let's keep it real, say that.
Speaker 1:That was just garbage, son, garbage. You got to get that money and of course they're going to put. You made all these big acquisitions. Of course, yes, people will buy the games. They're not buying the games. Get the games on day one or first party games. Of course they're not going to freaking sub-society and have good games on PlayStation. You got to make that money, son. If there's no way to buy no Xboxes, come on man.
Speaker 2:You might be right. I don't disagree with you, but to me, that's a lot of money.
Speaker 1:I was You're looking at. I mean, the Steam Deck prices are around there too, you know what I'm saying the Steam Deck is about $549 OLED one, the 512 gigabyte one, yeah come on, mr Mason, hell yeah, they're going to charge that much money.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you might be right. You might be right. Are you getting one? Is the answer, michael? I mean it's the question.
Speaker 1:The question is hell, no, hell, no. You know what. You're the big Steam person. You want to get Steam person.
Speaker 2:I was actually close to getting one for Father's Day, but it was all sold out. Man, oh you, they were going to buy you one. Yeah, it was sold out. The OLED shooting tower was going to get it for you, but it was sold out. The OLED ones were both sold out. The only one that they had available was the LCD one, but they were. They were like it was like people still buying them. I don't think people buying them anymore, people still buying.
Speaker 2:Yeah, people still buying, I know, but like I guess, because it was Father's Day weekend maybe, oh yeah, one of the few.
Speaker 1:Father's Day gifts that were something. Well alright, mr Maze, anything else you want to say about that?
Speaker 2:well about the handhelds, no, but we could jump in some games though, mr Amazing, let's talk about one of our favorite games on Xbox Gears of War Reloaded, Mr Amazing.
Speaker 1:Ooh, talk about that. Yo. So, Mr Amazing, what do you think about that? It's supposed to be how much, you know how much frame rate? No, what do you want to? Sorry, I don't have an army, Mr Mason, I'm disappointing myself.
Speaker 2:Damn Mike. You know I come to you for these stuff, I know you.
Speaker 1:Well, let me check, Mr Mason.
Speaker 2:It's all good man. So let's talk about what Gears of War Reloaded is man? It's all three games Gears 1, gears 2, Gears 3, right, is that what it is? Right, is it?
Speaker 1:I thought it was the first one. It's only the first one.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's only the first one. Oh, you're right. You're right. Please disregard what I just said. Y'all People are going to look at me like what is this garbage this guy talking about?
Speaker 1:Like I said, I came up with a top-down. It should be 4K. 4k, 50 frames per second. Yeah, yeah, 60 frames.
Speaker 2:Okay, yeah, it's a 4K resolution, up to 125 FPS actually, and it also includes all post-launch DLCs. This is cool and little extra content from it. Remember this game? This is the game I used to watch you play and then Mike couldn't pass through. You couldn't beat that friend. You was stuck on that last boss for years Not years, but for weeks and you were playing with me. No, remember, I was going to tell you. Remember, it wasn't? Maybe you jumped on together in the second one, the first one, I didn't play with you, you played with us. I remember that he was tight because I didn't play it at that point, and then I went back and played the first one, but we played the second one together. We finished that one together.
Speaker 1:How did we play the first one together?
Speaker 2:Nah, I don't know, and then I jumped on it and I beat that part for you and then, maybe because that was the last board, though, right wasn't it?
Speaker 1:I know it's so long it's so many years ago.
Speaker 2:I don't remember either, but that got me intrigued into playing it, and I fell in love with it after that but who got the Xbox 360 first, me or you? Maybe you did, and then I ended up buying off for you. Maybe or somebody was, I don't remember. I remember I bought one off my friend Richard too, I remember didn't I buy something off him.
Speaker 1:We call it ring of death.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's so bad, I can't remember either man, there's so many of them I can't remember as well what's amazing, guess what.
Speaker 1:What's up? That's also going to guess what platform playstation, playstation. And guess also going to Guess what platform PlayStation, playstation.
Speaker 3:And guess what the difference is?
Speaker 1:What's the difference? Xbox is only digital and the PlayStation 1 will have the full game on Blu-ray disc.
Speaker 2:Oh, you know I'm a disc person, so you know I'm gonna go at it, but it's gonna be weird playing Gizavore on a PlayStation now I wasn't gonna buy it, but I'm gonna buy.
Speaker 1:Just put this a place in the verge of distance. That's the L shoot.
Speaker 2:It's gonna look weird man, I don't know, I don't know, man, I just feel like I mean, it's okay to put another game on another system, but I just feel like Xbox, I gotta put an Xbox. That you know, just keep it traditional that's right. They broke tradition a long time ago which is true, which is true, which is true.
Speaker 3:But you know what?
Speaker 1:It's just a remake Counter Wars is over, son, it's over.
Speaker 2:You can say that actually it's about money, that's all about monetary. But just to see how it is, I wouldn't mind seeing it on PlayStation.
Speaker 1:All right, Mr Mazin.
Speaker 2:Wait for me to get it. I might get it. I actually might get this one.
Speaker 1:No, you won't but, also also the other heavy hitter games that will be coming to playstation it's not the playstation but yeah for the xbox oh, for the xbox, okay yeah that'll be coming to playstation ninja guidance. Yeah, also will be digital, but will be on the playstation 5 on disc. Wait, wait, say that. I hear that last part it'll be digital on Xbox, but on PlayStation it'd be on disc.
Speaker 2:Oh, okay, and then both for the same release that I'm guessing October of this year, right, yes?
Speaker 1:Well, they're both on the same time, okay, and also other games. Well, I've been having to hear this coming on, mr Mazin.
Speaker 2:Well, I'm not having to hear it. Maybe the DLC for Indiana Jones, maybe no? What are we looking at then? Outer Worlds, outer Worlds. That looks pretty good too, actually.
Speaker 1:Let me check and make sure people.
Speaker 2:Outer Worlds. Look good, that comes out in October as well.
Speaker 1:Let me check and make sure before I get my facts wrong. Yes, Outer Worlds 2 and Ninja Gaiden will be on this. Okay, that's not bad, that's not bad, but your homeboys, xbox will be digital, mr Amazing, what do you think about that? That which one? What do you think?
Speaker 2:about that, about what? About the games coming on PlayStation and things.
Speaker 1:But Xbox doesn't have it on disc, but PlayStation does.
Speaker 2:I'm not surprised. I mean Xbox is about. I told you I look at Xbox as a cloud system, sister I told you that already, man.
Speaker 1:Do you think that Xbox is giving the lack of middle finger to fans?
Speaker 2:Pretty much it's like yo why am I buying your console if none of your games are going to be physical? But it's a new wave anyway. Most people don't buy hard copies anymore.
Speaker 1:Yeah, a lot of people don't buy. A lot of people don't buy this as often as they used to at one time.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so, mr Mason, it's the new wave.
Speaker 1:What else, gabe, you saw? Invincible the game. What game did I see with another game that came out? Vince for the fighting game. Oh, yes, yes, okay, I know you, you know, I watched the TV series, I read the comic book. Yeah, I was gonna say that too, yeah so I watched the TV series and never read the comic book. But it looks like you haven't seen the series. Very violent series, blood everywhere, body parts flying all over the place.
Speaker 2:I saw.
Speaker 1:I did see it, but I never probably get it because I'm a fan of the animated series, so I'll probably get it. I don't think it's an amusement interest.
Speaker 2:No, that one's not. Yeah, I mean, I'm best with it because you have it, but it's not my thing, though, is it a day one purchase.
Speaker 1:Depending on the views, we'll see. You know what I'm saying. So it has several invincible characters on it, so it's a day one, like I said before. I just see it on the reviews. It's not. I'm not pumped up like the Marvel game oh, okay which the Marvel game PlayStation is, or is PlayStation exclusive?
Speaker 2:no, no, you're right, but I mean, I mean good call on that. I mean, for me, on the Xbox, a game that I, when I saw it, I was like whoa was a game. I feel like it's the most underrated video game Super Meat Boy 3D. That looked fun actually. That looked fun. Yo, I'm like a lot of you. To me it's Astro Bot for Xbox. That's how I look at that game. But Astro Bot for Xbox, that's how I look at that game. But that game, since you mentioned it, that game looks fun actually. When's that coming out again? Early 2026 actually. But that looks good and that game looks hard. I look at that game. I'm like yo, this game's gonna be hard.
Speaker 1:This innocent looking blood splatter game is gonna be hard as hell, it looks good, but it looks hard, as I can already tell because I remember Astro Bot, like yo, this is like the hard Astro Bot boards.
Speaker 2:That's what I looked at when I was looking at Super Meat Boy. I was like it's going to be hard, but the game that To me I've told this to my guy game, even to my daughter because we played it together this is the most underrated game, which is Plague's Tale Resonance. That came out 2026. I must have missed it. They showed a trailer for it, yeah, and it's a good trailer actually. It's a good trailer.
Speaker 1:actually Download it digitally. I never got a chance to play it.
Speaker 2:Ladies and gentlemen, if you didn't play Plague's Tale, plague's Tale Requiem and Plague's Tale Resonance, please play them. These are probably on sale too.
Speaker 1:Yeah, they're probably definitely on sale.
Speaker 2:They were free on the PlayStation. But my thing is this, though, is that I feel like this game doesn't get its due diligence, because when people play, people get blown up. I got blown up, and the funny thing is I played it because it was a free game on the PlayStation. I bought my PlayStation. I was like I don't have this game. I was like yo, this game is crazy. I got my guy game to play and then I got other people to play it and I'm like yo, this game is crazy. Most underrated game is that man.
Speaker 2:He didn't get me to play it yet, so yeah, well, Mike is hard to get to play with his million games he has y'all, but that one definitely stood out for me. I mean, what else you got on there for you, Mike Yo?
Speaker 1:Final Fantasy games are finally coming to Xbox, Mr Amazing. Oh yes, the Final Fantasy remake is coming out to Xbox this winter Also. Final Fantasy 16 is also currently out for the Xbox. Okay, so, Mr Amazing, what do you think about that? No, that's good, that's dope and their edition comes with the two expansions.
Speaker 2:Oh, okay, that's good. We've been talking about that for a while actually. But, Mr Amazing, guess what? Mr Amazing yeah.
Speaker 1:As of June 16th, according to Twitter sources and other sources yo, Mr Amazing the game only sold 22,000 copies. Oh, that's it, yes, and Steam peak of current players is only 27,000 plus.
Speaker 2:Not the numbers I was expecting to be honest with you, the numbers are kind of low compared to what I thought.
Speaker 1:And the PlayStation it sold. How many it sold? I believe over 3 million copies in the first three weeks, I believe.
Speaker 2:Of course I'm not surprised. I am not surprised, man.
Speaker 1:Sorry, not that first three weeks. Final Fantasy 16 sold approximately 3 million copies within a week on PlayStation 5.
Speaker 2:Wow that's dope, that's dope. Hey, that's why PlayStation keeps it going, man. Yeah. But a lot of people tell you, though, from this show the best game. High on Life, part 2. Yeah, I know what it was nice though, but a lot of people tell you, though, from this show, the best game High on Life, part 2. Yeah, I know what it was nice though, but definitely that wasn't the best game.
Speaker 1:Isn't the Crazy Rick and Morty involved in that game? I think so.
Speaker 2:Respect on it? I think so, but no, it's not on that though, but I did think it looked kind of cool. Actually, the best game people are saying from the Xbox show was Clockwork Revolution. Everybody, all the comments. Everyone is saying this was the best game. Oh yeah, I heard a lot of people say that.
Speaker 2:And it's supposed to, because it reminds a lot of people of Bioshock. So what for those who didn't get it? It's a first person RPG developed by I think it's Exile I think it produced the game and it's Exile, I think, who produced the game and it's pretty much an invention that allows you to travel into the past. So that game looks very promising. Look at it's going to sell, and I think Xbox is going to do very, very well with it. And beyond that, and let me not forget to mention this, beyond that, and let me not forget to mention this, it is out day one on Game Pass. So let's see how that goes, let's see what the numbers are going to be like and let's see what else to expect from that.
Speaker 1:And then go ahead. I know Kevin Levine is coming on another game and we'll see how it compares to this game Ah, this game looks promising.
Speaker 2:I'm not going to lie, mike, even I was like yo, this game looks fire yo. Another game I thought was kind of cool was it reminded me of Dead Space, it was Cronies, I think it was. I think so, yeah, it looked pretty cool actually. I was like, oh it's not bad, cool actually. I was like, oh, it's not bad, it was a quick trailer, but it looked pretty good though.
Speaker 1:But what was missing? We still don't know what's going on with. What's that game? Alone in the Dark? Not Alone in the Dark, perfect Dark, perfect Dark.
Speaker 2:That'll be nice to see we didn't get nothing about that Contraband. Did they show? Because I didn't see the whole thing. Did they show anything about Fable? I was looking for that.
Speaker 1:I didn't see anything about Fable. So they didn't show a game Contraband that's been talked about for years, that's enough about that Stay Decayed. Nothing about that Stay Decayed, you're right. And what's going on with their fighting game they had.
Speaker 2:Oh you're talking about. I can't come to remember with a combo break.
Speaker 1:What did it come out? Killer Instinct he's about Killer Instinct, right yeah yeah, nothing nothing because, like I said, they did announce the Invincible game, but that's also going to PlayStation, yeah, yeah, so that's not like a real, that's not exclusive to them okay, okay, but that's not exclusive to them.
Speaker 2:Okay, okay, but I think overall, from what I saw, it was a pretty good showcase.
Speaker 1:You can't forget what they called the showcase. I went.
Speaker 2:Black.
Speaker 1:Ops 7, baby.
Speaker 2:Black Ops 7. Let's try to hide it.
Speaker 1:This is a Black Ops game in the future?
Speaker 2:Yes, I know, I know.
Speaker 1:Was it based in 2020, 2035, I believe?
Speaker 2:I'm not sure, I don't remember.
Speaker 1:But they said, let's go out with a bang yeah they went out with a bang with that. Well, mr Amazing, anything else? You want to say? No, I think I'm done with that. Alright, mr Amazing, let's go to the trailer of the week. Mr Amazing, it's Megan 2, baby oh.
Speaker 2:I saw that actually. Alright, it's her week. It's Megan too, baby. I saw that actually.
Speaker 3:Alright, it's me. What a shock, etc. My path to personal growth has been paved with disappointment. I think we can agree that my biggest mistake was that I cared too much. Agree that my biggest mistake was that I cared too much. Actually, the biggest mistake you made was murdering four people in a dog.
Speaker 3:All right, I'm gonna put this in terms you can understand. I'm not the only killer robot. Amelia is stronger than you can imagine and she's coming after anyone who can stop her, including you, gemma, which you know, bummer. But to get to you, she'll kill everyone you love, including Katie. Amelia didn't think of one thing, though. Here's a clue it's Megan bitch.
Speaker 3:I take almost no pleasure in this. Why would you want to help us after what we did to you? I was programmed to protect Katie. She's the only thing that matters to me. I guess I must be your chance at redemption. I'm sure you had no intention of murdering people. Right, right, hold on to your vaginas. No matter what happens, I want you to know. I see you. You better believe it. Sister, you want me to drive. Hit it like. Hit it like. Hit it like. Huh. Strange your neurotransmitters. Tell me you're kindly aroused. Alright, that's enough. Hit it like Pun. Strange. Your neurotransmitters tell me you're highly aroused. All right, that's enough. Hit it like it's a feminine nominon. Megan, stay low. This is supposed to be a stealth mission. Did you hear me, honey? Yeah.
Speaker 1:Mr Amazing, megan 2 coming out June 27,. Mr Amazing, we're on the corner. What do you think about the trailer? It's all right. Yeah, it's all right.
Speaker 2:I mean, I like it.
Speaker 1:I like it the only thing I have with this trailer. It looks the first movie was more of a horror movie. This is more like sci-fi. I agree with that statement. It's like it's a horror movie. This is more like sci-fi. I agree with that, with slight elements of horror, but it's it looks like when Chucky started getting more funny than action.
Speaker 2:That's what it looks like it's going that route.
Speaker 1:So it looks very interesting, but I worry it's not that horror feels more of an action sci-fi. You know why.
Speaker 2:I think they did it that way. A lot of kids saw the first one. Okay, so I think a lot of kids saw the first one. And then how do you keep that same audience without going too much on the scary side? And when I say kids, I'm talking about kids under 13.
Speaker 1:But even in the movie we both said that she only killed four people and a dog. Yeah, she killed more people with a dog.
Speaker 2:She did, but she was still that lovable dog. Hold on, she killed a dog. I know we saw what Keanu Reeves did for a dog, yes, but my thing is that they don't want to go too dark with it to keep that audience. That's my personal take on it Because, remember, you can tell they're aiming for that crowd too, because with the dancing, the lingo that they're using, they still want to keep that young crowd engaged, so they can't go too dark.
Speaker 1:They're losing the B word. What young crowd are you talking about?
Speaker 2:The B word is a normal thing now on regular TV, Mike man. It's the norm now, which is true. So I think they're keeping that crowd. That's why they don't want to go too dark. So it's the norm now, which is true. So I think they're keeping that crowd.
Speaker 1:That's why they don't want to go too dark. So let's see if they hit it off, I give it green light to go, all right. So, mr Mason, so I'm still going to be asking you green light, red light or yellow light. Mr Mason, give it a green light. Oh, mr Mason, what are you going with? Because I'm not sure, because, like, can we do it to? Actually, it's something where I see the first thing. Yeah, I'll probably go see the first week, but still I don't know we'll see.
Speaker 2:We got a couple of days ahead of us. We can change. I don't know is there any? Other movie coming out that week that I know of, jurassic Park, comes out the week after. So probably, I think, I think it's a good window to come out.
Speaker 1:Okay, mr Mason. So, mr Mason, green light it. I yellow light it because I'm still concerned about it. Might be a little too action, sci-fi, and you know what I'm saying. Sometimes we go to a different element than what the movie previously was. It could cause a problem, but we'll see, mr Amazing. Alright, mr Amazing, let's go to our Should we Care topic, mr Amazing, and our Should we Care topic. I'll start it off. We have two, mr Amazing, go ahead. A program that me and you never got involved with or tried to get involved with, the PlayStation PlayStation sorry, the Sony PlayStation Star Wars program is dead. It's amazing. It's a hiatus. It's no longer involved. It launched in summer of 22. Yeah, 2022. And me and Miss Maisie didn't really care about it 2025,.
Speaker 2:I had no idea.
Speaker 1:I thought the program was dead. It's more like NFTs you buy little items, yeah. Yeah, is that like this program, the Star Program, where you lose items and you get big discounts on whatever games, stuff like that? Because I think if you go do a PlayStation Star Wars program, do it at a point where you're actually getting points to purchase stuff like real stuff whether it's a dual sense, whether it's a game stuff like that. This is more like you buy little picture items, I don't give a bleep about that.
Speaker 1:This is the big NFT craze, which me and you never got caught up in. That, true, I thought it was BS, I guess. Who caught the first 10 minutes of that craze made a little bit of money. No, like, 10 minutes of that craze made a little bit of money. No, like I said, I don't, I don't care, I don't care, I'm with you on that one. I did PlayStation 2, I bought PlayStation Home back.
Speaker 2:That would have been nice. I really did like that too.
Speaker 1:That was nice Sorry. So, mr Mazin, what do you think? I think the same thing.
Speaker 2:I think, yeah, I'm sure you care because it's more the political side, but I'm not going to go political with it, so this came by way of Roblox. For those who know, over the weekend there was a big political rally.
Speaker 2:They did it on the they did it on the protest that was going around they created and people had flyers no King's Day. And you see people protesting. They had ice officers versus. They're clashing in roadblocks. I'm looking at this and it's funny because you see the guys dressed like ice officers and things and it was the flyers that they were the game. I was just like what the heck.
Speaker 1:It was amazing. How are we supposed to? Should we care topic?
Speaker 2:This is why I want to share a care topic with this Go ahead. A not to be saying little kids played, because they know little kids talking about let's go protest in the video game and it was very detailed, by the way, they had the federal billings and everything. It was very detailed. So my thing is should we care that gays are becoming political? Because, remember, gays are supposed to be a gateway from reality a lot of the times.
Speaker 1:What is gays that become political? You could say what gay came.
Speaker 2:That you could think of was very political.
Speaker 1:Mafia 3 came out and it was a black man with the gangsters back in that time for racial inequality, so that gave is kind of a. I guess you could say that specter ops was questioned in the military and what we're doing in the military.
Speaker 2:They do have. Well, they do bring life into games. I guess you could say, if that's the right word, lack of word, but I guess you could say that yeah, and it's something that games doesn't. But I guess you could say that yeah, and it's something Gage does.
Speaker 1:But this was very political in the fact that protesting and what's going on now and what's going on right now.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I've never seen that before. What's going on right now? Yes. So I mean, do you think, do you care for that? Do you don't care for that?
Speaker 1:I mean those type of games you get allowed to express yourself.
Speaker 2:I think it's always a good thing in life.
Speaker 1:But, like I said, we allow that to happen. Then it's like when people go to the stream where they lose racial stuff, stuff like that, and it's sexualized stuff, then it becomes like ooh, I agree, you know what I'm saying. So you have to monetize that, watch out, you. You have to monetize that, watch out, you know. So next time she's probably putting Kool-Kaz Klan stuff like that stuff like that.
Speaker 2:They got to watch out for that stuff.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it opens up Pandora's box. Then you got the stuff with Gaza and stuff like that going up. People might start doing that.
Speaker 2:They might start doing that, then it's like oh, I hope not.
Speaker 1:It's kind of iffy. I know Cash 22.
Speaker 2:Do I care? I care because you're bringing current events into, I guess games, but, like you said, you don't want to get too specific. Where it's taken away from the game and it's becoming political lies, I guess Too much. And you're like whoa, we don't want to play games to see this. Yeah, too much. And then you're like whoa, we don't want to play games to see this, yeah. So, yeah, I can see what you're saying so this is a hard one.
Speaker 2:Actually, this is a hard one. I don't have you know what, michael? I don't have an answer.
Speaker 1:I do care because, like I said, there's always a line blur when you express yourself and or whether any type of media, especially the video game media, it's kind of blurry and you know how people are. There's some people who are far left or really far, far left, and some people are far, far, far right. That individual, this girl I thought she was cute, I wanted to talk to her, but she was like she was talking about why is the rock getting paid so much money and people are starving and all this other stuff. And she went to Taiwan to teach kids in Taiwan English. But then it's like a lot of people are on stream and there's also people on stream on the right side too, who aren't going to go too much into it, where they want to talk about history.
Speaker 1:That did happen. They want to deny it didn't happen. Yes, it did happen, stop guessing. But no, I do care about that. That did happen. They want to deny it and it didn't happen. Yes, it did happen, stop guessing. But no, I do care about that, because you got to monetize. See what's going on.
Speaker 2:I guess it's good. And I guess, to your point, it also brings kids into what's going on now, because I guess you could actually be like, oh what, but I guess it what hate woke, but this is happening at current events, yeah.
Speaker 1:yeah, I don't know if schools do current events, because when I was a kid they used to do current events, yeah. I did that I don't think they talk about current events, no more.
Speaker 2:Mm-hmm.
Speaker 1:Because, like I said, it's totally different than 10 years ago, five years as a matter of fact, even a year ago, with things going yeah, like, so you gotta be very, you gotta walk step easy with that, so I do care about that you don't care, I'm not mad at that you can do other stuff.
