Chat Transcript:

7:00 PMaddictedtochaos​​Hello

7:05 PMWarren Lewis​​Hi! Test pass.

7:14 PMSheekago​​Hey Andrew

7:14 PMSheekago​​Hmm, is it just me, or is there no audio?

7:14 PMaddictedtochaos​​Mic cut out

7:14 PMaddictedtochaos​​Cutting in and out

7:15 PMSheekago​​Mic keeps cutting in and out

7:15 PMWarren Lewis​​My Wal-Mart is the same way. I usually check out at electronics instead of the front checkouts.

7:15 PMSheekago​​I think the mic is stable now. Which game is this you're talking about?

7:16 PMSheekago​​Aaand it cut out

7:18 PMWarren Lewis​​Mine uses a physical lock still.

7:21 PMLee Showron​​Hey

7:23 PMaddictedtochaos​​Working at the moment

7:25 PMSheekago​​It's working now

7:26 PMSheekago​​Too bad you can't go to Radio Shack and get some new ones

7:27 PMaddictedtochaos​​I miss Circuit City.

7:28 PMSheekago​​That's why they made the Foot soldiers robots. So it wouldn't be so violent for kids.

7:29 PMSheekago​​Yes, I hated that they removed their actual weapons for the second movie.

7:30 PMSheekago​​It came pretty close to them just hitting them with cream pies.

7:31 PMJared Knisely​​the doom like

7:32 PMJared Knisely​​might be thinking of dark forces

7:49 PMaddictedtochaos​​Tony Hawk was Activision

7:50 PMaddictedtochaos​​Activision over saturated the market with all of their franchises, releasing 5 Guitar Hero games in one year killed that series.

7:52 PMaddictedtochaos​​I believe the developer was Neversoft.

8:04 PMaddictedtochaos​​Operation Rainfall

8:06 PMaddictedtochaos​​If I recall correctly, XSEED published “The Last Story” in North America, and it was (at the time at least) their best selling game.

8:16 PMaddictedtochaos​​I used to watch E3 and take notes of my thoughts of the announcements, and I distinctly remember writing about the Wii U, “it will live or die by the GamePad”

8:17 PMaddictedtochaos​​I believe Zombi U was ported to PS4 and Xbox One.

8:27 PMJared Knisely​​talking about 3?

8:28 PMJared Knisely​​i hated 6

8:29 PMJared Knisely​​narrative is what i didnt like

8:30 PMJared Knisely​​baseball was fun

Note 1: Bandcamp links always provided when able. Beatport tracks can usually also be found on AmazonMusic at a lower price and the advantage of unlimited cloud backup, but at a fixed fidelity.

Note 2: "Age of Dub" seems to have been removed from beatport? I've never see that before, I've linked Ed Solo's Beatport page.

On this special episode: Kyle and Ian are joined by Sonic comic writer Daniel Barnes to discuss his career and his new Kickstarter project, Endless Fantasia!

I may not know a good game if it bit me but if a game bit me, I'd say it's a bit of a jerk.

Chat Transcript:

7:00 PMaddictedtochaos​​Hello

7:01 PMaddictedtochaos​​I’m just grateful I’m not deaf, went to an Oasis concert and forgot my earplugs in my hotel room.

7:02 PMaddictedtochaos​​It was very loud.

7:02 PMaddictedtochaos​​I didn’t realize I forgot until I was in the stadium.

7:15 PMaddictedtochaos​​Then you probably wouldn’t like The Last Guardian either.

7:20 PMPowerGlitch​​Dull? The music?

7:21 PMaddictedtochaos​​There are plenty of PS2 games that look great, Katamari just isn’t one of them.

7:27 PMaddictedtochaos​​No game is better off with tank controls.

7:28 PMaddictedtochaos​​Anyone else getting ads covering up the chat?

7:29 PMaddictedtochaos​​Every so often an ad will pop up on my phone, I can swipe it away easily enough, just a minor annoyance.

7:38 PMaddictedtochaos​​So, I take it you were not excited for Silksong?

7:46 PMcaleb723​​No, not Myst... Please not Myst...

7:46 PMaddictedtochaos​​No, it was Half-Life 2, and Half-Life 2 episode 2 or something. Half-Life 3 will likely never happen.

7:47 PMcaleb723​​Riven is SO good. I played it for the first time in 2020 and was blown away by it

7:51 PMaddictedtochaos​​Halo 3 and ODST are quite good.

7:52 PMaddictedtochaos​​And then Microsoft ruined it.

7:52 PMcaleb723​​Xbox Live goes crazy

7:53 PMaddictedtochaos​​Master Chief is his rank.

7:53 PMaddictedtochaos​​Yes, his name is John.

7:54 PMaddictedtochaos​​The most recent one is Halo Infinite. 4, 5, and Infinite aren’t bad, but they are just ok.

7:56 PMaddictedtochaos​​Halo’s popularity isn’t anywhere near what it used to be.

7:58 PMaddictedtochaos​​I loved Breath of the Wild, I stopped playing Tears of the Kingdom.

7:59 PMaddictedtochaos​​Sound cutting out.

8:03 PMaddictedtochaos​​May have been my phone.

8:04 PMcaleb723​​Remember me?

8:07 PMcaleb723​​I appreciate his lasting impact with just those two words

8:20 PMaddictedtochaos​​The studio Tango Gameworks, was acquired by another publisher and I believe that included the IP for Hi-Fi Rush.

8:25 PMaddictedtochaos​​If I recall correctly, there is a trophy for sitting with another player.

No matter how bad you mess up in life, you will never mess up THIS badly.

0:00 - YouTube only recommends new videos from my favorite creators after I've already watched them. That's dumb. YouTube is dumb and should feel bad.

2:58 - Behold! The dumbest political mailer I've ever seen!

7:17 - 352 hours of Monster Hunter Wilds and I've only got ONE Commission Ticket. I need nine.

22:22 - How do you prep for the Extra Life charity marathon in November? Why, you make chocolate milk for adults, of course!

36:50 - I finally got to see the second season of Oshi no Ko. It's still good!

45:42 - Alien: Earth is shaping up to be better than all the Alien movies!

Welcome to Movie Mandates, a review show in which sibling cinephiles Andrew and Keleigh force each other to watch movies according to a monthly theme!  This month, I've mandated a Double Feature of the direct-to-video sequels of Disney's Cinderella.  This week, we'll focus on Cinderella II and later this month, Cinderella III.

Next month, Keleigh will mandate her own Double Feature!

0:00 - Trivial Trivia
