6:49 PME. Zachary Knight​Hello Everyone

7:10 PMaddictedtochaos​Hello

7:10 PMaddictedtochaos​Star Trek Picard looks surprisingly good

7:14 PMSusanne Christ​hiiii ^·^

7:14 PMaddictedtochaos​The Crisis crossover will either be epic or horrible. Kingdom Come Superman.

7:15 PMaddictedtochaos​Yes all 5

7:19 PMaddictedtochaos​Dear God, the trailer for Cats looks horrible.

7:21 PMaddictedtochaos​Not even Judi Dench and Idris Elba will be able to save Cats.

7:23 PMaddictedtochaos​You are also hard to impress, lol.

7:24 PMaddictedtochaos​In the books he only carries 1. The games is 2.

7:25 PMaddictedtochaos​Still don’t like the art style for DuckTales

7:27 PMaddictedtochaos​It isn’t bad but pales in comparison to the original.

7:38 PMaddictedtochaos​The only system I’ve ever had that happen with is PS4. With a controller that I hardly used. I use the Pro Controller exclusively.

7:38 PMaddictedtochaos​They need to release a Joy Con with a better build quality.

7:40 PMaddictedtochaos​The Joy Cons are just too small in every way.

7:52 PMaddictedtochaos​Let’s face it most players cheat to make themselves look good on the leaderboards or to just screw over other players.

7:55 PMD G.​How'd Andrew get a black eye? Getting lippy at the bar?

7:56 PMaddictedtochaos​I’m guessing door to the face or you were goofing off and did it on accident.

7:58 PMD G.​I'm taking on the industry one meme at a time.

7:58 PMaddictedtochaos​Warcraft did great overseas.

8:01 PMaddictedtochaos​I thought even with the re-release it fell short.

8:03 PMD G.​Andrew, can you talk about how lame snakes are?

8:03 PMaddictedtochaos​I glad it beat out Avatar.

8:04 PMD G.​Have you played Blazing Chrome yet? It's really fun and the pixel art is amazing.

8:05 PMD G.​look up the release trailer, dude

8:05 PMaddictedtochaos​It is very Contra esque

8:05 PMD G.​JoyMasher

8:06 PMD G.​from brazil

8:06 PMD G.​they also did Odallus and Oniken

8:06 PMD G.​I'm against comic con and the whole industry

8:07 PMD G.​Andrew, i bet you wont even call out the cookie cutters in the industry. This guy is running scared, folks!

8:09 PMaddictedtochaos​I have all of the Tomb Raider reboot trilogy but still haven’t played any of them.

8:10 PMD G.​Call out the cookie cutter game developers

8:10 PMD G.​Good

8:12 PMaddictedtochaos​Where I work no one has gotten a raise in 4 years.

8:12 PMD G.​Unionize and make your bosses sweat then

Chat Transcript:

6:55 PMaddictedtochaos​Hello

7:00 PMAndrew Eisen​Hi Chaos. Waiting on EZK. We'll start soon.

7:02 PMaddictedtochaos​What’s everyone playing this weekend? I’m running through Borderlands 2 for the billionth time.

7:03 PMaddictedtochaos​No one is as bad as Koei Tecmo. With their $92 season passes, yes multiple passes for DOA.

7:08 PMaddictedtochaos​Me too, I’m far less likely to buy games that do things like this.

7:12 PMaddictedtochaos​But, they have to make ALL THE MONEY.

7:16 PMaddictedtochaos​People actually defend the practice, these people are stupid.

7:19 PMaddictedtochaos​Only for single player though.

7:20 PMaddictedtochaos​Just because you can afford it doesn’t mean you should support the practice.

7:23 PMaddictedtochaos​Careful you’ll give them ideas.

7:27 PMaddictedtochaos​Devs just need to be more responsible with their budgets.

7:33 PMaddictedtochaos​People just fail upwards

7:34 PMAnberye​That Lupin the II trailer looked good

7:34 PMaddictedtochaos​It looks fantastic

7:36 PMaddictedtochaos​Toriyama

7:37 PMaddictedtochaos​Did you see SquareEnix is talking about possibly remaking DQ9 for Switch?

7:37 PMAndrew Eisen​I did not, no.

7:44 PME. Zachary Knight​I can hear you but the feed has paused

7:44 PMlittlegittel​come back EZK!

7:44 PMaddictedtochaos​Zachary.exe has encountered a problem. Lol

7:50 PMaddictedtochaos​Yes it was on Wii U

7:54 PMlittlegittel​I like "LightSwitch" I'm on board w that

7:55 PMaddictedtochaos​There is definitely a market for the Lite. It will do very well in Japan and with people that prefer handheld gaming. Definitely not for me though.

8:01 PMaddictedtochaos​Switch Pro should be a strictly TV system

8:03 PMlittlegittel​that is a missed opportunity

8:10 PMaddictedtochaos​They did for 3DS

8:18 PMlittlegittel​you already have gone into spoilers. too late dudes

8:19 PMlittlegittel​but, bro and I have already had this talk, so I am staying

8:23 PMaddictedtochaos​Lizard

8:23 PMaddictedtochaos​Electro was part 2

Not-a-Switch? Switch In Name Only? 0:12 – Andrew argues that Judgment was purposefully made a lesser game in order to incentivize gamers to purchase microtransactions and paid DLC 31:42 – The 3D characters in the new Lupin III animated movie are amazingly on model! 40:35 – The forthcoming beta gives us a look at what ...

And... something, something tariffs.

11:36 - Andrew shows a bigot that they are wrong and that their news sources are lying to them. He doubts it made a difference.

25:54 - Sources say Microsoft, Sony, and Nintendo are considering scaling back console manufacturing in China due to tariffs

31:29 - G2A's response to indie devs asking customers to pirate their games in lieu of purchasing them through G2A does little to endear itself to gamers

48:46 - WayForward announced some nifty looking games this week!

7:25 PMaddictedtochaos​We all know the only things that you are fanatical about is Monster Hunter and Yakuza. 

7:29 PMaddictedtochaos​This isn’t the first time I’ve heard about Nintendo moving console manufacturing out of China recently.

7:29 PMaddictedtochaos​SE Asia most likely.

7:34 PMaddictedtochaos​I’ll stick with Steam

And… something, something tariffs. 11:36 – Andrew shows a bigot that they are wrong and that their news sources are lying to them.
