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

7:57 PMcowmilk9999​I thought I heard those were just temporary voices just for the trailer or something...
