Chat Transcript:

6:58 PMaddictedtochaos​Hello

7:00 PMJared Knisely​i refuse

7:01 PMJared Knisely​57

7:02 PMsnake​good evening, it's been awhile!!!

7:03 PMsnake​I've been playing a ton of armored core

7:03 PMLynndy Lee​hello

7:03 PMsnake​today alone I managed my first 10 wins against other players in the arena

7:04 PMsnake​the original resident evil 4 was amazing, the remake is....okay...?

7:04 PMsnake​it wasn't good, but I wouldn't technically say it was bad

7:08 PMJared Knisely​i dont

7:11 PMSheekago​Hey all

7:11 PMsnake​the remake just feels weird, parrying, the weird progression, the fact the knife breaks

7:11 PMsnake​just EHHHHH

7:15 PMsnake​the remakes kinda take themselves too serious

7:15 PMsnake​I mean the remake for the first game still has the iconic jill sandwich and early 2000s cheese

7:17 PMsnake​from what friends said, and what I've seen, they made a few fights easier

7:17 PMsnake​del lago, and Verdugo seem easier

7:17 PMsnake​the village chief has always been kinda easy, even in the OG

7:24 PMsnake​Verdugo was such a hard fight they literally rewarded you with one of the highest paying treasures if you beat him

7:25 PMsnake​iirc I think he dropped a ruby or something that gave a lot of cash when you sold it

7:26 PMsnake​did they change the regenerates? or did they just leave them alone

7:26 PMsnake​I know it's possible to kill the regenerators without the scope

7:29 PMsnake​the regenerators had a grab that was really long, but they were always slow unless you shot their legs, then they became stupidly fast

7:31 PMSheekago​So you're fightin Dhalsim with extendible arms.

7:33 PMsnake​I had a fight like that in armored core, it was a very very fast moving 3 phase boss that had multiple enemies with them

7:33 PMsnake​not only do you gotta deal with the bods AC, you have constant pain thrown at you by minions

7:33 PMsnake​pain

7:35 PMsnake​they removed that boss?

7:35 PMsnake​WHY

7:38 PMsnake​u4, Verdugo, the tiny Spaniard fight and uhhh Salazar were the hardest fights from what I can remember

7:39 PMsnake​oh I literally remembered his name, the final boss, I forgot his name

7:39 PMsnake​saddler?

7:39 PMsnake​Salazar was the tiny guy

7:45 PMsnake​110 bucks

7:45 PMsnake​if I'm paying that much, I want a hostess to visit me irl

7:51 PMSheekago​The master vacation bundle, does that come with tickets to a vacation location?

7:55 PMsnake​ooooh I love greed

8:06 PMSheekago​I did hear about seat warmers being a subscription service

8:07 PMsnake​ubisoft has been doing this stuff lately, and recently they tried to get someone to buy them and they were literally laughed out of the board room

8:07 PMsnake​and lately their stock, once again, tanked lmaooo

8:08 PMSheekago​Game companies are struggling. CEOs have to lay off staff in order to afford yachts.

8:08 PMfrasierfraish​I made the pod

8:08 PMfrasierfraish​Finally

8:09 PMsnake​we just gotta be patient andrew

8:09 PMsnake​capcom is once again losing all the good graces with gamer...

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!  Last year, Keleigh mandated we watch Igby Goes Down.

She chose... poorly.

So, for Mea Culpa month, my sister has mandated we watch Pi, an early work from Darren Aronofsky, a filmmaker who's all about the feel-good movies so I'm sure we're in good hands!

0:00 - Trivial Trivia

14:54- Pi review

49:59- 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!
