6:52 PME. Zachary Knight​Hello Everyone

7:06 PMmatthew wilson​just got back from detective pekachu

7:09 PMaddictedtochaos​Hi all

7:12 PMmatthew wilson​99% of my games are in my steam, so dont need to do thay

7:17 PMmatthew wilson​kinda suprised you had issues with it, as someone who programs I thought it would have been easy for you

7:18 PMmatthew wilson​its assembly, so no * or dividing

7:30 PMmatthew wilson​if they did a oot remaster, the only thing I want is analog camra control, otherwise it holds up as a game

7:31 PMAndrew Eisen​Did the 3DS remake have analog camera control?

7:31 PMmatthew wilson​nope

7:33 PMmatthew wilson​wait it took you 2 houras to run up stairs? I get it oot's camra controls suck, but there not that bad

7:45 PMmatthew wilson​they did a full mhw stream after

7:45 PMcowmilk9999​That's why I love Monster hunter. it has a bunch of those little intentional (or unintentional) cute gags

7:46 PMmatthew wilson​no way is the ps4 powerful enough to run mhw split screen, it cant even hold 30fps as is

7:46 PMmatthew wilson​it is 12 million units

7:47 PMAndrew Eisen​Maybe not splitscreen. Something more like Mario Odyssey where one controls the hunter and camera and the other makes due with the Palico.

7:48 PMfroilen13​is it spam i i count the "you knows"?

7:49 PMAndrew Eisen​If you do a running list, I'd say yes but feel free to let us know our totals at the end of the show.

7:51 PMcowmilk9999​dead by daylight?

7:54 PMaddictedtochaos​Like the $29.99 price tag for Medievil.

7:54 PMaddictedtochaos​Knowing Squre it will probably release sometime in 2027.

7:55 PMaddictedtochaos​3 discs for FF VII

7:55 PMaddictedtochaos​8 and 9 were 4

7:14 PMotritzu​Shiny Pokemon have a burst of sparkles that appear when they enter the fight.

7:14 PMpsychadelic snake​shiny Pokemon are like that rare drug, once you get one, your social life debilitates as you continue to search for them

6:54 PMAndrew Eisen​There is no Zuul, only Andrew!

6:56 PMpsychadelic snake​a lonely stream

6:56 PMpsychadelic snake​until we showed up

6:56 PMotritzu​Evenin' Won't be to lonely there's at least a couple of people in the audience.

6:57 PMpsychadelic snake​ain't much gaming new lately

6:57 PMpsychadelic snake​besides gearbox pissing off everyone

6:58 PMpsychadelic snake​yep

6:58 PMotritzu​Is that about the pay to win-ish stuff in it?

6:58 PMpsychadelic snake​randy is on Twitter telling the consumer base to fuck off when everyone showed how angry they were

6:58 PMpsychadelic snake​borderlands...

6:59 PMpsychadelic snake​I mean its OKAY, the first one was fun, the second was just them beating jokes into the ground

7:00 PMpsychadelic snake​actually no, but some of the guns did fuck all :/

7:00 PMpsychadelic snake​like compared to other guns, most guns just weren't even viable, even for meming

7:01 PMpsychadelic snake​epic stores has already had multiple security breaches, and that's gonna be a big yikes in my book if I'm supposed to trust them with my CC info

7:03 PMpsychadelic snake​call of duty world war 2 was actually pretty fub

7:03 PMpsychadelic snake​fun*

7:04 PMpsychadelic snake​assassins creed retconning the hidden blade finger sacrifice xdddddd

7:04 PMTiegerzz​It’s the same with music. There’s certain groups where you hear it for less than a few seconds and you already know who it is. Then there’s groups where they sound like every other industry group lol

7:05 PMpsychadelic snake​like all star

7:05 PMpsychadelic snake​in the first game you had to cut off the ring finger to use the hidden blade.

7:05 PMotritzu​Ezio was the first one to get away without losing his finger to the hidden blade

7:06 PMpsychadelic snake​in oddysey, the MC doesn't have any trouble using the hidden blade even with his ring finger still on.

7:06 PMaddictedtochaos​Hi all

7:07 PMpsychadelic snake​i stopped playing after 3 tbh

7:08 PMpsychadelic snake​ever have a movie you're hyped for, then you see it and its pure garbage? that was World war Z for me.

7:08 PMotritzu​In Altair's time they used a fist over the blade, requiring them to remove the ring finger to make room for the blade. Later Assassins figured out how to use it without having to lose a finger.

7:09 PMpsychadelic snake​@ori but doesn't oddysey take place before altairs time? the game that takes place in egypt

7:09 PMotritzu​Should be. IF they didn't have the main character using a hidden blade they'd still have all their fingers.

7:10 PMotritzu​I haven't played AC O. I wouldn't know.

7:11 PMpsychadelic snake​ive seen gameplay ACO the MC can freely use it without worry, he only loses his finger when he clenched his fist in a fight and popped the knife

7:12 PMotritzu​Huh? Really? Eh, that's a Ubisoft's internal lore problem then.

7:13 PMpsychadelic snake​world war Z the BOOK, was a good portrayal of a realistic zombie outbreak

Just because it's clearly ineffective and will predictably exacerbate the problem doesn't mean we shouldn't do it anyway, right?

9:46 - Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice may not be very fun to play, but there is a lot Andrew likes about it

26:08 - We speculate on what the rumored new Switch SKUs could be

35:13 - It's Sega's turn to release a mini retro console

46:58 - Sony and Microsoft introduce their own takes on the Nintendo Direct, to varying degrees of success
