7:02 PM@addictedtochaos2​​Hello

7:04 PM@Sheekago​​Hey all

7:13 PM@Sheekago​​I wonder if we're going to get two weeks of Cyber Monday. I think that's how long the Black Friday sales were.

7:15 PM@Sheekago​​That's how they get you. The big discounted great deal overpowers the fact that you're not even on the fence about playing.

7:15 PM@jaredknisely6213​​so that means you havent played any ff's after 7

7:16 PM@addictedtochaos2​​Believe it or not most games still release “on disc” and not just a download key.

7:19 PM@Sheekago​​I think you're looking at ten years, at least for FF7 Remake collection. You're going to want to wait until it's on sale...

7:22 PM@Sheekago​​Maybe he trained himself to reply while unconscious. He does his best work asleep.

7:30 PM@addictedtochaos2​​I didn’t know there was a new Red Sonja.

7:35 PM@Sheekago​​Dar is the Beastmaster

7:36 PM@Sheekago​​Sandahl Berman

7:38 PM@Sheekago​​I remember Ahnold Schwarzenegger came out in Red Sonja. I thought he was still Conan and thought it was part of the series.

7:40 PM@addictedtochaos2​​A bit of self awareness, lol.

7:43 PM@o7NetExile​​The difference between horseback riding and horse riding

8:03 PM@o7NetExile​​Take care!

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!  It's December and we're celebrating holidays most happy with movies that are at least tangentially related to the holidays, if not necessarily happiness.  As such, my mandated movie is Better Watch Out, a home invasion movie where a babysitter and her young charges are in mortal danger!  No seriously, this is one of those movies where kids can die!

So, maybe not happy (unless you really don't like kids) but it takes place during Christmas so it totally counts!

0:00 - Trivial Trivia

12:30 - Better Watch Out review

1:03:07 - Next episode's mandated movie

We'll be back in two weeks with another mandated movie.  If you'd like to watch it, click here to find where it's streaming or available to rent.

If you'd like to watch the video version of Movie Mandates, you can do so on YouTube.  Alternatively, you can listen to and audio-only version on iTunes.  New episodes of Movie Mandates drop on the first and third Wednesday of every month!

I survived!

0:00 - My Spanish is so bad a small child erupted in laughter

4:39 - What is the first movie I saw in the theater?

12:26 - This year's stop motion segment from Just Dance was really great!

19:53 - How many of the 69 Game Awards nominees have I played?

31:57 - First production stills from The Legend Of Zelda movie doesn't feature Link's floppy green hat. Or his Gerudo outfit.

36:28 - I've altered my diet so I don't have to go to the store as often. Now I drive so infrequently my car battery keeps dying!

41:44 - Second gas leak this year did not result in a fiery explosion. I'm on a roll!

45:59 - I might retire with a pension! But with layoffs abound, will I even last long enough to vest? These first world problems sure are stressful!

1:11:55 - I've beaten every copyright claim made against me in my 15-year YouTube career. Until now...

7:22 PM@addictedtochaos2​​I have bought several of them, I have played none of them. Just haven’t had time.

7:22 PM@jaredknisely6213​​mh didnt belong in the category it was in

7:22 PM@jaredknisely6213​​had to state it

7:25 PM@Sheekago​​Good evening all

7:27 PM@addictedtochaos2​​Doesn’t matter what I post on social platforms, it basically shouting into the void.

7:28 PM@jaredknisely6213​​best rpg

7:28 PM@Sheekago​​Same. I don't know or care about the Academy Awards.

7:28 PM@jaredknisely6213​​the problem with the "award" show is that it isnt an award show

7:33 PM@jaredknisely6213​​its a gaming publicity event

7:33 PM@jaredknisely6213​​with awards

7:38 PM@Sheekago​​Are going to raise your own chickens and grow your own veggies?

7:39 PM@Sheekago​​Switch to a moped?

7:41 PM@Sheekago​​Build a chicken coop on the roof

7:42 PM@Sheekago​​Dang

7:43 PM@jaredknisely6213​​i wouldnt make/put something on a roof that wasnt designed to be there

7:43 PM@Sheekago​​Good thing you don't use scented candles

7:46 PM@Sheekago​​They ordered the light from Temu.

7:47 PM@Sheekago​​Wind chimes outside your window

7:48 PM@addictedtochaos2​​Despite my issues with my employers they do not believe in layoffs.

7:48 PM@Sheekago​​It's the first rule of employment. They don't talk about what happened to people no longer there.

7:49 PM@o7NetExile​​A level of decency to not burn down the bridges

8:02 PM@Sheekago​​Luckily, a judge was able to stop the centers closing while they looked into it. We're okay, at least until next June. It's scary.

8:10 PM@addictedtochaos2​​If I had Bruce Wayne type money, I would be giving people homes.

8:12 PM@addictedtochaos2​​Bruce in the comics does tons of philanthropy and charity.

8:16 PM@addictedtochaos2​​Can you not just remove the section with the song in question?

8:18 PM@o7NetExile​​May their saved games be deleted by a less tech literate family member

Samus is going to shoot this guy.

0:00 - Rich shmucks say the dumbest things about gen AI!

15:10 - Valve didn't make Half-Life 3 but it did remake the Gamecube!

20:09 - Nintendo releases a trailer for the Super Mario Galaxy Movie and Daisy is still nowhere to be seen

31:08 - Metroid Prime 4 tasks Samus with escorting and overly chatty, annoyingly clumsy boob without shooting him in the face

7:17 PM@addictedtochaos2​​Supposedly it is between an Xbox Series S and Series X. It will live and die by the price.

7:18 PM@addictedtochaos2​​If it is reasonably priced I will buy one.

7:23 PM@jaredknisely6213​​he is susposed to be cute?

7:24 PM@jaredknisely6213​​ive always thought he was supposed to be a little annoying brat

7:30 PM@artoflynndylee​​hello

7:35 PM@addictedtochaos2​​I wonder how excited SuperMetalDave is, or is he tearing his hair out after seeing a certain character?

7:41 PM@addictedtochaos2​​His dialogue sounds like it was written by Marvel movie writers.

7:43 PM@addictedtochaos2​​It is that very quippy “Joss Whedon” style.

7:45 PM@addictedtochaos2​​The video game industry always learns the wrong lesson.

7:46 PM@addictedtochaos2​​People’s heads will explode when Link talks in the Zelda movie.

7:51 PM@artoflynndylee​​it's all about timing and luck

7:56 PM@artoflynndylee​​two more decades till retirement D:

7:56 PM@artoflynndylee​​I can only retire when I can no longer hold a pencil maybe

8:04 PM@addictedtochaos2​​Seems like the industry as a whole has a problem with optimization these days.

8:09 PM@artoflynndylee​​Andrew no!!!!! NOOOO!!!! LOL

8:09 PM@o7NetExile​​I assume the probability of that thought increases based on the number of plush toys a person owns

8:11 PM@addictedtochaos2​​Yeah, more should be like Nintendo in the Wii U era, the executives took pay cuts to not have to lay anyone off.

8:13 PM@o7NetExile​​Oh, oh no.

8:17 PM@o7NetExile​​I have a fox toy that I've owned for almost 30 years - I still keep it for the sentimental value. Functions like a memory totem.

8:19 PM@jaredknisely6213​​set away around 4k and you can buy one

8:19 PM@jaredknisely6213​​XD

8:24 PM@jaredknisely6213​​its also a CA thing, a lot of business dont like CA laws

8:27 PM@o7NetExile​​Take care!

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 we're mandating movies that, upon viewing, make you say, "What did I just watch?" and we're concluding with Terrence Malick's The Tree Of Life, a movie that...

Um.  Well, you see...  Hmm.  It's got Brad Pitt in it?  And he's like, a guy.  Who does stuff.  And things happen.  But, it's kinda like a metaphor?  For like, uh, life.  And stuff.

Look, we don't know what we just watched but that's not going to stop us from talking about it!
