Chapters16
A broad opening about transcending history and chasing a personal star on a journey, setting a reflective tone for the discussion.

A sprawling, goofy, tech-nerd hangout where Maximilian Dood and crew riff on Star Fox, Mario, Andor, retro game culture, and the oddball racing game Screamer, all spiced with nostalgia for E3 and hot takes on modern blockbusters.

Summary

Maximilian Dood and crew sink hours into a joint livestream that bounces between retro and modern pop culture. They gush about Star Fox, Star Fox Assault, and Star Fox Adventures on GameCube while debating how a new Star Fox movie could look, and they fantasize about a four-player rail shooter in the vein of Nintendo's IP. The conversation also pivots to contemporary cinema, with long takes on Mario, The Mario Movie, Andor, and the differences between all-ages storytelling and traditional kid-friendly fare. Along the way they reminisce about E3 days, offer candid commentary on the state of game development, and riff on underappreciated titles like Astrobot, Bluey, and Gundam-era mech games. Interwoven are practical hardware cues (PS5 Pro, 120 Hz modes, PC emulation on old consoles) and vivid, often hilarious anecdotes about past conventions, Blockbuster runs, and the old-school thrill of hunting for hidden paths in classic games. The vibe stays loose and opinionated, with jokes, tangents, and a sense of shared fandom that makes this a late-night lounge stream rather than a structured review. Expect riffs on game design, memory-of-the-90s culture, and a playful defense of “games as experiences” over pure mechanics.

Key Takeaways

  • Star Fox fans crave a modern, co‑op rail shooter; the crew imagines four pilots, sharing a squad-based, online mode with team-specific mechanics like grappling and coordinated boosts.
  • Mario Galaxy is praised for its spectacle and level design, while Star Fox Zero is criticized for confusing controls; the discussion stresses the importance of intuitive, accessible flight systems in modern rail shooters.
  • Andor is highlighted as a masterclass in subverting star‑wars clichés; the show is lauded for its sharp portrayal of bureaucratic evil and the way it builds tension through character arcs like Dedra and Syrill.
  • Emulation and preservation get a long treatment: PC ports of N64/PS2 classics (GoldenEye, Ocarina of Time) are discussed as proof that modern tech can revive old games with high fidelity, widescreen, and modern input.
  • Stream banter ranges from ‘80s/90s convention nostalgia to today’s movie ecosystem, including the infamous Mario movie chatter, with a side vote on who should play Ganondorf in a hypothetical Zelda film.
  • Delivery Musk and other indie racing titles are used as a case study for how complex control schemes can either click with players or scare them off; the panel weighs the balance between depth and accessibility.
  • Tech talk pops in (PS5 Pro, VRR, 120 Hz, and RAM/CPU breakthroughs) as the crew speculates about the next wave of console generations and how it could impact streaming and classic‑era remakes.

Who Is This For?

Essential viewing for retro gaming fans, Nintendo IP enthusiasts, and stream watchers who love long, opinionated rambles about games, culture, and the behind-the-scenes of conventions. If you enjoy deep dives into Star Fox lore, Mario fandom, and the nostalgia of E3, this is your vibe.

I pray in my heart for that special life to shower me with love. Show me with power. Got to get the song to carry on. Got to get the song to carry on leaving behind. Hi. Hey. Hello. Hi, Chad. Hi. Damn. Thanks for THE We're all back. Except Kenny. Kenny's here. He lives. Kenny is here. Super tempted. Do we still Do you still have the ingredients to make a Jeff Daniels? Cuz I Damn. I actually want Yes, I do. I actually want I actually want another Jeff Daniels. I legit did not It was the one I didn't like. That's crazy. It just need It just needed a different barbecue sauce. It just You just even with it, it's still pretty good. Really? I I want I want another Jeff Daniels. Wow. But I want a tangy I want a tangier or spicy I want a Jeff Daniels in my mouth. Maybe maybe me and Kenny, we go down there and we I don't know. We We saw this [ __ ] and we mix I don't know Sriracha or something in with the barbecue sauce the face. We mix it up and then we put it on the Jeff Daniels. Maybe that would work. This [ __ ] sandwich again. Uh yeah, the Jeff Daniels has returned. Hi Chad, we're back. Sorry about the last couple of days. Uh you know, Easter stuff, family stuff. if I just have been spending spring break with my baby. Uh so yeah. Yeah, we just watched Lego Movie. Like she watched it today. I love that movie. That movie's [ __ ] really good. And I saw Hail Mary again and took my dad to go see it. Oh dang. [ __ ] great, dude. I love that movie. Yeah, that movie's great. Um you film Lord and Miller. I know. It got me like on a like JJ should watch Lego movie. It's been a while since I've seen it. And she she Jessica love which now really makes you wonder what happened with Solo. Oh. That they got kicked off of Solo. They got kicked off of Solo. Yeah. They were the ones who got kicked off of Solo. They're lucky that movie came out pretty good. Lord Miller. Yeah. And then Ron Howard had to come in and re-shoot it like really fast. Wow. Yeah. And it still was okay. That's right. Dude, I laughed like unbelievably at the first Lego movie. It's really funny. I was I was shocked at how much I was laughing. And that's like, you know, you like I I don't care for spoilers for the Mario movie. I heard it's just a it's a music people like go spoil. I'm like, man, there's so little to spoil. It's like, you know, things going to happen. So, I don't care if you guys talk. I haven't seen it yet. Kids, they woke up and they saw you might be able to take like Leila to go see it. She might get some enjoyment if she likes Mario. Yeah. Do I probably do it on Tuesday when it's cheap movie day, but um the references are are the spoilers. And it and it's funny too because it's like you know like if you don't like a kids movie like oh like Lego movie is a kids movie I laughed my ass off on it. Like just because it's a kids movie like oh you don't get it because it's a kids movie. A kids movie could be good for adults and kids. I watched the Wild Robot in my living room alone with my baby. Okay. And that she watched the whole thing. She watched the entire [ __ ] movie. And at the end, I'm just a puddle. And my daughter's like, "Daddy, are you okay?" She's like rubbing my back. Dad, are you okay? What's wrong? Why? What? What's wrong? Like, and I'm like, "It's okay, sweetie. It's fine. I'm not even I'm not even a parent." But it's even felt even harsher for me because it was an it was a surrogate parent in Wild and I became a surrogate parent so like for so many kids eventually and that hit me. I was like, "Oh man, this movie is gone. This movie's mean." I'm nervous about watching The Wild Robot again in the same way that I would be nervous about watching The Arrival again. And I don't think I could watch The Arrival again as I need to see that movie. You know what I'm talking about, right? Yeah. I need to see Denny. I don't think I can watch it as a parent. Voiling. It's about communication, right? It's about like how people and aliens and I was and there was a long time where I was like, "God, I miss good sci-fi." And then we finally Yeah, we got The Arrival and The Hail Mary. Hail Mary came out. I was like, "Oh man, I just need I just needed a good meaty sci-fi film to chew on." We get We get No, we get the Dune movies. They're media. They're me sci-fi. But it was like Dune was like I felt like we were done with Dune after the last movie. No, but this is the You know what I like about this Dune? They're ending. It's like an ending. So I'm like, "Oh, cool." So, and I trust they say that there's like three 30,000 books that come after but but like and he's the writer. Like Denise is like one of like the screenplay guys, I think. So, at least he has like a he was even talking about the challenges of ending the story because there's so much more story that happens after this a little bit, but like you know what look and it put water on the planet. You got oceans and can go swimming. Yay. Happy. I want to see that [ __ ] I mean, that's not what happens from what I understand, but I don't know. But yeah, like all those summarize Dune was like the first book Paul is bad. The second Dune Messiah. No. Okay, in case you didn't get it the first time, Paul actually bad. Paul is really No, really. Seriously, Paul is bad. And I'm like, cool. Back. Yeah, I I've never read the third one, so I'm like, uh, yeah, I'm just I'll just go into the theaters and just not expect anything. Does somebody ask, "You guys are going to see Mortal Kombat 2?" Of course. Hell yeah. Of course. I didn't like the first one that much. I thought it was fine. You know, Kano carried that whole movie. He definitely was the best. Kano carried the first Mortal Kombat movie. Like Star Fox carries the [ __ ] Mario. There he goes. Yeah, I completely agree. He was like, you know, like, you know, like the guy Cole Young, you know, great actor, great martial artist. It's just like, man, he could have been like Kenchi or something, you know, and they could have just made Kano the like, you know, the movie following Kano, you know, or something, dude. Yeah. And it's like I just go like and that was the same argument where it's like I'll just go to a Mortal Kombat movie just to see people get ripped up and [ __ ] And it's like this is just not why I watch movies. Like I like actually I want I want to give a [ __ ] I want to go somewhere. Like that's that's my entire thing. Like I just want to go someplace and and have and not have all the suspension and disbelief. Well, there's nuance and people can't handle nuance anymore. Um or or just the in between. It's either it's either one end of the spectrum. the the other and it's like okay no one's saying to make you know a a deep philosophical you know Oscar bait movie no one's saying that nobody nobody rational is saying that exactly no but we're just saying like would be nice to have a plot or or like a tightly woven and for me I know Transformers one which I didn't see is is brought up a lot I always say Puss and Boost Last Wish that is the sequel to a spin-off of a five film franchise seventh movie in a series. Like a parody franchise, a spin-off of a parody of a sequel. So, it has one of the most tightly woven scripts for a kids [ __ ] amazing. Absolutely. See, and that's the thing. It's a kids movie, but adults can Yeah. It It has It has your redemptive villains arc. It has your irredeemable piece of [ __ ] It has your force of nature villain who's neither good nor bad, just a force of nature with death. And everything is just so tightly, you know, woven and well written in that movie. movie and it's like yes that is a movie of a throwaway franchise a parody franchise franchise built on parody in spite I I definitely am completely against that argument where it's like this is a kids movie what you're expecting where it's like wait a minute are we just cool with our children like absorbing trash like there's a reason why is as popular as it is let me just throw it out there like it's one of the most well-crafted kids shows in [ __ ] human they're selling shirts at hot topic for Blue Kid show because it is one of the most emotional, heartfelt, thought out, well animated, well told shows [ __ ] like ever. Like it's extremely good. So there isn't it isn't just because oh cute dogs cute dogs. No, it emotionally resonated hard with adults and that's why it became popular. It was almost like adults like Blew more than the kids most of the time. You know what I mean? So, I really don't buy the idea that like, oh, this is this is just uh this is just for one demographic. You're not allowed to criticize it because dude, no, no, no. There are adult movies that have the exact same problems. And does that make them good? No. No. A bad adult movie for anybody over the age of 13 is is has the exact same problems as like a bad kids movie. And I also think this there's another argument here which is America especially the movie you know Hollywood and let's say Hollywood has this really hard time wrapping their brains around there's actually two different thing I think there are very two distinct things there is kids movies and then there is all ages movies an all ages movie and an all ages thing is like Avatar the Last Air Bender yes it's it is a children's TV show technically it came out on Nickelodeon but it is written and and made for all ages it's made for everyone a movie that's say a kids movie is say Ponyo. It's for 5-year-olds. It was made for 5-year-olds. It it was not made with adults in mind. It was it's we don't have adult jokes, adult humor, adult it's it's for kids. It's for little kids. It is specifically for little kids. Um and and I would argue Bluey is for little kids. It is made for little kids. It is not made to be anime. You know, Animaniacs is kind of made for everyone. and Bluey is specifically made for like the, you know, the three to five crowd. And that's not a slam on either of them. But I think people have this hard time kind of understanding like sometimes movies like there's a huge difference to me between kids and all ages. All ages means we are going to have deep themes. We're going to have things that, you know, an older person can sort of like internalize and like, you know, ruminate. Like Blue is not going to ponder, you know, existence or, you know, or nihilism or or just like, you know, the Big Bang Theory or something like that. Louis not going to do that. Actually, it does all three of those, which is crazy. You said all of those. Yeah, that's the argument. Actually, it does do that. Okay. Like, Blueie does what it's supposed to do. It's made for three-year-olds. It's not, you know, you're not going to say, you're not going to end the season of Blue is not going to end on a murder suicide. No. Like Kora, neither would an all ages movie, right? Well, Legend of Kora season one ends with a murder suicide. Well, I'd argue Legend of Kora does not lean all ages, which is why it is Y7. Well, sure. I mean, but here's the I think that's why it like didn't have as much popularity because it did not lean into themes as the first one or did not have as many. I mean, there's a can of worms of people who don't like it. I'm not going into Well, I'm just I'm just saying like there's probably a reason why it just didn't capture everybody as much just because maybe it doesn't appeal towards younger kids cuz there's obviously the lead character is like her 20s or some [ __ ] eventually being starts at 17 ends at like 21. So, it's a little bit harder to sympathize with that. Well, I mean it does skew older on purpose, but it's also on Nickelodeon. Sure. You know what I mean? Like it's it you could if if a an 8-year-old wants to watch it, they could watch it. Yeah. But I I don't like for Corora, I don't see an 8-year-old. Well, thank you for long number. That's actually not true. I actually I can anecdotally probably definitely there was definitely there's sure watching it when I was working. But I I I don't see a lot like maybe the first one cuz Hang's like way younger and it's a little more happier like Cara just starts off. However, to to to bounce that I find that kind of a weird argument where like oh the characters are kids. I'm like, dude, we grew up like watching Batman and X-Men and they were not children, you know? We did not like we did not need characters to be our age to be engaged in the media. It's like no, we watch Batman. He's he's beating up gangsters and stuff. But that's like Batman. That's like, you know, wellestablished things in, you know, we've had for years. Kora is a new kind of IP. That would be just like Well, I mean, Batman issue one is not Batman when he's 12. He's he's an adult with a gun in issue one. I think Coral was doing the thing that uh like even Harry Potter and a lot of media does that lasts a long time. They was trying to grow with its audience, right? You know. Yeah. Yeah. And if it's still on Nickelodeon, well, that's just because Nickelodeon wants more money. So, it's But it's also not made to a point. It didn't do like the Ren and Stimpy thing where it's like this is the adult version of Ren and Stimpy. Oh, yeah. you know, where it's like, "No, no, we're putting it on Spike TV and it's going to have really crass, you know, R-rated humor, whatever." Like, it's different where it's like, "No, we can still put I like it a lot more when companies have to tell uh mature themes and in incorporate sometimes violence into things hovering around very young ratings." I like that. They have to get you have to get really creative. Yeah. Because it because it it forces creativity. It forces you to be okay. To not just show it, right? Well, how do we tell this tale where it's like it's appropriate for a younger set, but it's still good for everyone kind of thing. That's then you got to get creative. None of that isn't Mario basically at the end of the day. The problem with Mario is that it like it doesn't really have any of that. It doesn't even try. I was talking about this after I saw it and I was like talking to my chat about it how it's like weird movies that are like animated that had no ride being as good as they were or how the hell did this get the how the hell did this get approval? Uh like The Prince of Egypt. Yeah. Like [ __ ] incredible movie, but how the [ __ ] did this ever get to a point where this is the real reason? Yeah. Like how did this was still bitter about the Beauty and the Beast Oscar. And when he went and started DreamWorks with Spielberg, he's like, I'm going to make the [ __ ] Oscar bait animated movie. And I'm like, I'm done. He's like, I'm done with the the the the kitty stuff. We're gonna go we're gonna go real serious. They went real serious. It was it's really good. Um, and then there's like the Hunchback of Notre Dame, which is like I'm still kind of like, how did that get approved? How the [ __ ] did this get approved? And it's so funny like what they do to what they do to soften it is so obvious with the gargoyless and [ __ ] We need our cute funny characters. It was like that was the first time that was really obvious in a Disney movie cuz even even people in the '9s who don't criticize things openly very much were like, I didn't like all the cute gargoyles. Yeah. And that was a late addition from what I heard. I talked to the director once actually um and he said in a separate interview, not in the one I did, but he was like, "Yeah, I" He said, "I just rationalized it. I was it was all in his head. He was just like going crazy from isolation and this this isn't really happening. He's just imagining it." He's like, "That's how I basically like, you know, when you have to compromise cuz cuz the head of of animation is like, "This needs to be funnier. We need to have some. It needs to be more a little bit more lighthearted sometimes." cuz apparently like you know they you know had gotten so far with you know storyboarding and penciling and whatever and they're and they're like do looking at the rough cut of the film and they're like there's nothing there's like there is no joy in this film. There's no joy. There's like there is no lev no brevity no like levity just like you need to put something in here. We need to do something about it. See the gargo throwing the bricks at the guards was like um you know um it was still him. He just imagine the gargoyles did it and he just threw it himself. What was that movie? Um, with Brad Pitt. Oh, Fight Club. Fight Club. Yeah, just Fight Club. That's true. Where the gargoyles are just things that figments of his imagination. Figments of imagination. So, you know, it was like the gargoyles, but it was really him. Yeah. But you know, like when you say the gargoyles like that reminds me of like Star Wars when I saw Star Wars and I saw Jar Jar Binks and this character was so obviously what this is. It's like oh well Jar Binks is the new C3PO. He's the new comic relief. And it's just like it's just following the beats of Star Wars. So like, oh, you know, they're not going to have a when things become too goddamn formulaic when you you could just you just know exactly what's going to happen next and you can see the intention behind it. It's like Okay. You're just going by the numbers. Yeah. You just go Yeah, absolutely. And now like the prequels, people are glazing them like crazy. Well, I mean the kids who were kids when they came out are adults and content creators of our own and for them they never saw the problem. They were just like, "This is fun. I like this." Whatever. Um, but it's so wild. Like I see all this Star Wars and every oh prequels. Hey, Star Fox is doing the same thing. And I remember I saw Roger base saying this and I agree with him. Like I am not we I'm not going to do this revision is history. Star Fox Zero was crap. Like Like the controls were ass. Yeah. Having to look up and look down constantly and [ __ ] though. This [ __ ] sucks. Or like do do this. Yeah. I'm like, "Yeah, no. Let's We're NOT RE WE'RE NOT revisionist history in Star Fox Zero. That did not happen. Are you see that? Hey, I'll let you have it. I You know, I couldn't beat me. I hate those frequels are bad movies. Uh yeah, they're impressive. They are impressive, but the majority of them are bad movies. The only one that actually has like a con like a somewhat of a narrative that makes somewhat logical [ __ ] sense is the third one, right? And that's why everyone says the third one's actually good because yeah, it actually has a nar. It has things that that that it teases you and it builds up to because it's the finality of a trilogy. It's like, oh, okay. I still wouldn't watch any of them like like Star Wars can be on I could be bored like any of the the the original trilogy and I'll sit there and I'll watch them. I can watch I've watched Force Awakens a few times on my own time like on on the sorry on on planes and [ __ ] It's good. Force Awakens is good. Yeah. But like not the second one. No. Absolutely not. During co I watched the third one to see if it was as bad as I remember it. It was worse. It was worse. It was indeed worse. I just remember thinking like this movie's a mess. It's terrible, but at least it tries to be adventurous. Yes, it's adventurous. You know, they fly out. Yeah. Yeah. It's trying to be adventurous and it's trying. It's failing, but it's trying. Um, a movie that fails to be, you know, in the spirit of like say episode four is better than a movie that thinks it's grander than it is. Thinks it's it's it's deeper than it is. Like I have this message. No, you don't. The whole like I am all the this is so this is not working. The way the way it's being presented cuz the character has never like felt like she deserved it yet. Like she never felt like the character has built up towards it in some way. It's like It thinks it's more important than it is, you know? though I I it's still it's going to be fascinating forever to me about how the prequels are like a a tangent, a wild tangent of making something that's so unlike the original movie and it's just this crazy crazy visually and everything is and that way I appreciate it. Yeah. this crazy [ __ ] wild tangent of what you know what George saw in his head and he had no one to stop him and then the sequels are just this absolute cookie cutter cookie cutter run back to the original we don't want we don't want to have we don't want to we want everything to go back to what it was my dad had also not seen this and I told him like you have to watch it and I the way I described it was like you know how the original Star Wars trilogy like every movie feels very different from one to the other it's almost like they had completely different ideas and directors for everyone cuz they did So, when you get like that director that comes back and has a completely different idea of how it is, it's like, okay, I respect it. He's I don't like it, but he's doing something completely of what he wanted to do, which is like you don't have to like it, but you have to respect that chose he chose to do something weird and wild and crazy and political and it just none of it hits until the very end, you know? So this is why I this is why outside of everything that is Star Wars, the only other one that follows that that feels like it has that in mind when it's being made and it executes it in a way that is just as good as the original [ __ ] trilogy is andor because Andor doesn't feel like Star Wars in the same way that the prequels did not the prequels did not feel like Star Wars. I like that where it's like wow this doesn't feel anything like the Star Wars that I know. It feels so unique and different but still in the same universe, you know? But it it Yeah, it like honestly Andor makes Star Wars look juvenile. It does. It It makes it look like It It literally makes it look like the thing that it was inspired by, which is like, you know, like the Cape Crusader, like Pikachu, like Flash Gordon. It makes it makes Star Wars feel like that with with how in touch Andor is with like with like its storytelling. I'm like, "Fuck, these guys really care. Holy shit." You know, like in the original Star Wars, it's like um you know, Empire bad. these guys good. Why are they bad? They're bad because they blow up planets. They're bad. And George Lucas, he said this to Cameron, too. He's like, Star Wars is about the Vietnam War. No, no, he said that because George Lucas said it. Cameron said aliens is the Vietnam War. Like they're all they all grew up in. And I'm like, yeah. Like George, even even if it was like weird and off the mark, George literally said that the rebels are the Vietkong and the Empire is the big uh like he didn't he didn't say America specifically, but he's like is the big military entity. Yeah. Like and he's like, "Oh, it's Star Wars is literally Vietnam." Okay. Well, wow. You hence you wonder why a bunch of, you know, Ewoks suddenly won. It's like and If it wasn't obvious enough, I guess here you go. And to be fair, the show's called Andor, but it really is Star Wars. Like, it is war. And it's like, well, both sides are really [ __ ] up, but the other side's crazy or [ __ ] up. And it's just like, this is war. And it's not all just like, well, the good guys, we're good and we're going to go. One thing I really like about Andor was kind of showed how the sort of like not just outright evil and greed, but just the sort of apathy and and just complacency and and on the Empire side and how like just the sort of just laziness and apathy and greed and just like it's not affecting me, I don't give a [ __ ] kind of thing from the higher up class, the elites and and just you know like the the there was that planet where where they they had the the bank robbery planet and like how the guy and his family were just kind of like lazily drifting through life and they're like, "Ow, they didn't even care about the planet or any of its customs." they're just doing I'm just doing I'm just doing my job and just sucking, you know, the you know, sucking the teeth of the fat off the land. I'm just moving from place to place making as much money. I I really liked how they showed like it's not even so much about like everyone being like a Palpatine being "No, not not being super bad. And dude, like I what's [ __ ] crazy is that the remake series does the same [ __ ] of like Shinra people and how are they held accountable because they are just going along with it, you know? It's like, yeah, this is an interesting story beat that like eventually ties in in some way. Yeah. Just like the sort of the apathy and the laziness, but then there's also just a fiction, am I right? Yeah. So, I actually appreciate that about Andor and the sort of internal like Rogue One had it, but it was almost too over the top. But like andor made me like Krennic a lot because it showed how like [ __ ] like like slimy and weasly and like shitty like ambitious people are and how cutthroat they are within their own empire and how much they just completely bend the knee when they need. Dude, if there's one thing that's crazy to me is that you have some of the most powerful multi-billionaire people on the planet and they're out there legit bending their [ __ ] knee to people like like graveling. Please give me this, please. And I'm like, dude, you are a multi. That is crazy. Like, that's [ __ ] crazy. That you would you would be put into that position because you want more power and you would be willing to be shown like that. Like, that is [ __ ] crazy to me. It's like my yacht doesn't have a fulls size football field. I I need my yacht to have a full size field. It does make it was silly, but like it there's it does make retroactively Rogue One have a pretty decent moment with Vader where he's like, "Don't choke on your ambition, Krennic." You know, it's like, "Okay." Like, but but even he, you know, he just gets headshotted at the end of that movie with the He just gets shot in the back of the head. Yeah. Just just blasted. Tarkin just whatever. I'm just I'm just going to take this [ __ ] from you anyways. So, yeah. No matter what we feel about, bro Star Wars, you know, currently in its place, we at least got Andor. No matter what anything, how anything else turns out, we we got Andor from it. The coolest [ __ ] thing I love about that show is that at the end of it, you have like Dedra and the what's his name guy, the pencil pusher, Sirill. At the end of it, they think they're so important. They think they're part of this giant kn like and the whole show is that they're eventually going to lead up to being like really important people. Like that's what's happening. Like they're they're integral to this entire story so much to the dude what they do with those characters by the end is like like they're such [ __ ] They're such [ __ ] evil people, but they think they're so important. So by the end from the exact people that they were aspiring to be they are put into prison or killed like they're just thrown away killed just like he's like who are you AND HE'S LIKE YOU DON'T KNOW WHO I AM YOU ARE MY NEMESIS YOU know this [ __ ] is [ __ ] crazy you're so important you're you you die so unceremoniously because they don't care about you the guy the guy just is like saying his entire [ __ ] speech to the guy and he's like who are you who and then he gets shot in the back to head done. This show is [ __ ] amazing, dude. Holy [ __ ] And then yeah, Dedra getting put into prison for the rest of her life. To the prison that she was like managing on the side and [ __ ] like that technically. Like, oh, this death start, too. I guess this show is [ __ ] amazing, dude. I love Yeah. And I And I actually loved Yeah. Man, that cranic speech at the end was so great cuz she again thought she was so important and she was so oh I'm going to I'm going to use this as a moment to aspire and like and make myself the head of the the ISB or whatever and then he he gets wind of it or whatever and like she the whole thing goes south in the hospital and he's just like you found this insane mole and you decided to DO ALL THIS BY YOURSELF. AND HE'S LIKE I love that line too where he's just like you know well if you're not a rebel spy then you missed your calling. Dude, the thing where he puts his [ __ ] finger on top of her head and starts pressing on her improvis completely improvised. I'm like, wow, this [ __ ] is crazy, dude. Yeah. And and it was like, okay, she was so willing to like, you know, I'm going to I'm going to do this thing to get get so far in the world. It's going to make me so important. And then like, oh, now now you're just in jail. That [ __ ] is amazing, chat. Holy [ __ ] I am just thinking back on Andor and it's so [ __ ] good. It's so good. But the thing is it's like it's a brain thing. There's some people like there's some Star Wars fans like I didn't like it. You know, there was like no lightsabers or you know, there was like no force. I'm like, you know, it's it's the exact same kind of criticisms where it's like, yeah, people will be completely fine with the Mario Galaxy movie. Just like things will happen and people will be happy. And it's like, yeah, I've always understood that to be the case. It's just you're not going to convince me it's good. Like you're not going to I'm not going to I'm not going to be on your side. We can we can agree to disagree. You can like it. And it's so funny too like star if you look at the original Star Wars lightsabers were in the movie for maybe five minutes. In the OG Star Wars it was maybe five minutes of screen time for lightsabers BUT PEOPLE ARE [ __ ] LIKE YOU KNOW SPLOOED all over for lightsabers you know. Uh the the the the funniest part is that I feel like we are so close to having like a Star Warsesque [ __ ] Star Fox movie. Like like I but I think the problem is is that this the Mario Galaxy movie might have been the push that they need to do something like that if it's going to be Illumination. So it's going to be like and apparently this is what all Illumination movies are like. People have been saying that's the thing. Illumination doesn't really make they don't really make history. Mario movie was fine. Like I'll be real. I want to I want to go back and stand the the first Mario movie more. I mean, the best movie Illumination ever made was the first Despicable Me. And then that was kind of as like as good as they ever got. That's okay. Was the first was the first Despicable Me. That was about as good as they ever got. And they never really they never really made anything like quite that. Maybe you can argue maybe the first Mario movie or whatever, but like they make okay films. They make them cheap. They make them okay. They're not making Wild Robot. They're not making Last Wish, you know? They're not making the best of Pixar or the best of, you know, DC, you know, or Disney animation. Like, they just don't aspire to that. That's just not their thing. They make movies on the cheap that sell tickets and, you know, babysit a kid for an hour and a half. There was a there was a quote from Miiamoto that happened after where he said like, we wanted to include as many references as possible. So, it seemed like, oh, this was the goal of the movie. This isn't nothing that just like happened on the side. Like, no, no, no. They tried to ham like the Pikmin scene was very weird. Like, it hung on that for so long. Oh, no. Oh, for Yeah, for a Miamoto's. Yeah, it it literally hung on the Pikmin getting out of their ship for 30 seconds and I was like, "Are we moving on? Are the characters still looking at these guys?" And they make the little noise. They make the little noise. They literally It wasn't them just getting on going like and then like coming out. No, no, no. It wasn't them. It was like hold watch them slowly get out. Watch them walk and back to our characters. I was "Wow, this was definitely a Miiamoto thing." Oh, yeah. 100%. This is a Miiamoto thing, dude. Um, anyway, I am pretty excited about, not as much as Star Fox movie. I think the thing I like the most about Mario Galaxy is that they gave Star Fox a character for the first time in his [ __ ] life. Maybe he had a character a little bit in Adventures. They tried. Oh, bro. Bro, you don't want to know. Oh, you don't want to know, man. Is he Is he a Is he a PB buttlicker? No, cuz they did there was the game Command on the DS which went way too hard into the story elements. Okay. And it has like nine different endings and they go way too far with like the lore and the characters and where it can go with him and stuff. Are there shipping? Oh my god. Yes. I'm just Oh my god. Oh my god. He says Oh Jesus. Dude, Command is like that chat. The one little DS game. Jessica played that one a lot too. Uh, and they it's it's actually bad. Oh, no. It gets it's Do they ruin Fox as a character? I mean, it dep I guess it depends on the ending you get cuz there's like I get nine different endings. Wait a minute. Is that the one with the weird picture that everyone's sending to me where he has a kid with Crystal? That's the good ending. Yeah. Marcus Mloud. That's the good ending. Most the other endings is like like Crystal leaves Fox and gets cucked by Panther Leo. You know, that's how a lot of the other endings go. And then then there's like one ending where him and Falco become F-Zero racers. I'm not I'm not [ __ ] you, man. It's it's kind of neat. That's probably the coolest one. I mean, in a way, um not canon, right? Or is it? Or is it? It never went past command. Interesting. So, I guess because Fox in most of the games he's in is is characterless, dude. Hey, he is he is a straight shooter guy, you know, like. And I I like the fact that the movie really leaned into like I love money like like I'll do anything for money. He's a mercenary. It's his thing. And like we but we all we didn't know if Nintendo knew what a mercenary was. And even in like Star Fox, one of them 64 or the OG one. Yeah. Like it's it he gives him the bill to the commander. Yeah. Your high score at the end of the game is is the is how much money you owe him. So it's like okay. Yeah. Price, but it's worth it. I really I I really dig the fact that he's like a hokey. thinks he's super cool, tries his hardest to be cool, and I'm like, man, this could make I mean, and in my head, I'm making a movie out of it, but then I realize it's going to be an illumination movie where it's going to be like a humbling story of this guy that thinks he's the coolest [ __ ] hot shot ever and then gets taken down several things. I mean, now I'm like, who the [ __ ] knows? cuz it's like with the Mario Galaxy movie, you had the one character, the one character who had a backstory in Mar in the Mario series and they just ignored it completely and and retconed it into something else. So now it's like, well, there's all these backtories. You know, Andros, he was a scientist and he got banished to Venom and like they might just throw all that out. Who knows? Because the they had they had a little backstory for one character and they decided [ __ ] it for the Galaxy. Don't even use it. That was a Miiamoto interjection for sure. Yeah, for sure. This that was his spite. I'm like, god damn it. I'm so mad that there was story in a Mario game. I'm going to [ __ ] it over in turn and Elsa. Yeah, I saw Frozen do that. Like that was I I'm I'm like, you know what? I don't know much about the Mario Galaxy story, but I know Simmons does, and I was watching it. I'm like, I don't think this happens. Like that big sisters and having the power of the universe type [ __ ] I'm like, I don't think this happens. No, it doesn't. And like it's not again we're not talking like it's not some like deep novel but like the backstory is this little little girl finds a Luma want the Luma is looking for its lost parents. The girl agrees to help builds a spaceship goes into space. We later find out she becomes the mother of the Lumas. Why? because she is dealing with the grief of her parents cuz her parents died and and they're and they're buried and she's dealing with the loss and and she learns to be she learns to become the mother that the Lumas don't have because she was searching for her mother like she was lost like okay that's it that's that's all you need to really go off of was that hey it's like she she's a mother because that's how she learned to deal with the grief of losing her parents was becoming the surrogate parents to all these other orphan lumas. The end. We don't need to you don't need and that isn't a part of like the main story even it's on the side if you go and look it's literally Dark Souls lore. Yeah. So but they couldn't even do that for the movie. They couldn't even do that. They just she's the mother of Lumas. Like no explanation given at all like how she became the mother or why she became the how or the why are just thrown out. [ __ ] it. She is so sisters because a thing was happening that well what thing what evil force don't worry about it and what's great is that they uh they sold the book they like reprinted the [ __ ] dark the games came out rand story book yeah um well Daisy and what their cousins Daisy and uh Peach I will say because Mario Galaxy the movie was so unmar Mario Galaxy like like it was it wasn't anything. It was like it had Roselina but it isn't Mario Galaxy at all. It made me actually want to play the game. Made me want to like actually like sit down. Maybe I should sit down and try Galaxy at some point, you know, because my [ __ ] ass beat Mario. Beat Mario World. And my [ __ ] ass didn't beat Mario World. My [ __ ] ass got 96 exits. Damn. I 100%ed that [ __ ] You did the thing where you change the color of the world map. I got I was like, "Why is the world different?" And they're like, "That's your treat." And I'm like, "What?" And I went into some levels and the glmbbas look like Marios or some weird [ __ ] I'm like, "What the [ __ ] is this weird?" So like, "Wait a minute. You get like a special new game plus and like Yeah. And I'm like, that's really cool. tubular or whatever all the different that game is [ __ ] amazing for a for I have a weird reason. Mhm. Um, Mario World is probably one of the best games ever made because it takes the expectations that were the previous games and the Nintendo one, which is secrets. Secrets were a huge part of old Mario games, much less old Nintendo games. Secrets were such a big deal. And this game takes secrets and it [ __ ] with you where it's like it will will do things in places where you think it's going to be and it's not there. And in places and moments where you're not expecting and something weird happens, it does it constantly. Like there were so many moments in the game where the I get it where Kao comes from now because this game [ __ ] with you. It's trolly as [ __ ] where it like is going to mess with you. And and I I at moments I was sitting here and I would run and do a thing and a [ __ ] weird thing would happen and I literally see like Miamoto in the back. HE'S HE'S SO DUMB. LIKE HAPPENED to kids so many times. He's probably just LIKE [ __ ] THEM KIDS. LIKE I FELT the developer intention of me being here in this [ __ ] ass predicament. I was like [ __ ] Miamoto, dude. Like laughing his head off in the background. So I I really liked it. Like it it messes with your expectations in ways that like at the time it got criticized a lot when it came out. People don't believe me on this, but Mario World was pretty criticized cuz they were like it's too similar to three. Exactly. It It doesn't It doesn't evolution like the previous Mario games were like revolutions on top of it. It wasn't. It was just kind of evolving Mario for like a sequel, like a traditional sequel instead of really changing everything. The other problem, too, was that Mario 3 came out way earlier in Japan than it did in North America. Like 2 years or something like 89 or some [ __ ] Yeah, like 80. Yeah, 8. It was like 87 88. It went out way earlier than it came out in North America. 1988 is when Mario World came out. World came out in 90. Like three came out in like 88, 87, something like they had gone a couple years. Wow. That's not a Mario game. And for us it was kind of like three now world. Yeah. Cuz what was that that movie the with um the Mario movie? Wizard. The Wizard. Yeah. It was late '8s. Late80s cuz we got we got Mario 3 in like 1989 or something like that. Like 90 or something. Yeah. It was like it was way late into the 80s. It was late into it. And then Mario World came out pretty quickly. I was shocked. The very first place I ever played Mario 3 was in on the way to Las Vegas. It was Jean Nevada when they had the casinos and they had the Nintendo thing and they had a copy of it there. I'm like, "Oh [ __ ] it didn't even come out on console yet." And I and I I got like the vibe because Mario and even Mega Man X to a certain degree, even though I played more Mega Man X, were always a part of this like, oh, I don't get to have that club because Super Nintendo was super expensive. The Genesis was way cheaper, so my family could actually afford that. Um, so I didn't get a SNES until like 95 when like I could literally contribute to to buy one with Killer Instinct. I got you and me both. I didn't get a SNES till 95. Really? Holy [ __ ] dude. So like yeah, Mega Man X like deeply jealous. I don't actually like it, you know? I remember that feeling where it's like I don't actually like any of these things. Donkey Kong isn't that cool, but I I have what I have and I like it, you know? So, like there was always that that seated like I never got to really sit and enjoy a lot of these things, which is why going back to Super Metroid and all that kind of stuff, like the system was expensive back then. Um, I got to sit and enjoy it. And yeah, dude, just sitting with Mario World as a game and just having it like just be open to all of its weird [ __ ] Like the I'm I am 60 to 70% through this [ __ ] game and I grab this pee balloon and I turn into an inflatable LIKE WHAT THE [ __ ] LIKE WEIRD [ __ ] LIKE LIKE THIS WAS NOT HAPPENING BEFORE, MAN. Uh until even to the point where it's like I am three like nearly 34 through the game and I finally understand how the [ __ ] cape works and I really and I really start like WOW THIS IS COOL and like it's it's such like a it's like a sandbox game which is what I love about it. Yeah. The other Mario games don't feel like sandbox games to me dude. No, I don't get that vibe from many of them. This is why you maybe want to go back and Well, I mean, you've played two a lot already, but like the old Sonic games where it's like how Christian Whitehead had explained like why why were people like the old and like because it had this sort of Tony Hawk vibe. Oh, yeah. Of the way like you would just kind of see how you could go through a level or breeze and cruise through it, you know, and and how you could interact and and roll and flip off and and and roll up and and Sonic two and beyond. Two and beyond. Yeah. Especially two and beyond cuz one was a little rougher, but like I was like, "Yeah, that's that's kind of it. It's like seeing how do I get through this all these different ways. What if I interact with this and do this? What if I spin dash off here or like zoom up this way or go down this way kind of thing. I was like, "Yeah, I feel you on that." Like that's true. It's the It's like a weird Tony Hawk platformer, which is why they did with Sonic Mania what they did, which is why it's tonally I'm like that's why he got what old Sonic was about. It wasn't about going fast. It was about how do I how could all the how does the interaction because the slopes and the loops and the ramps were things Mario didn't do. You know, necessarily. Mario didn't Mario didn't have like he was a precise jumper, right? Like and things are like blocks like, you know, very rigid, you know, flat land stuff like slopes were kind of a thing they introduced in World, but it was like rare and you would just slide down them a little bit. Sonic was like you can use them for momentum to jump off of ramps kind of things, which was like a little different. Chat did mention it. Yeah, Mario 64 is absolutely a sandbox game where it just is it's going to be like there's all these weird things that act in weird ways. So, good luck when they all collide with each other. Like, good [ __ ] luck, dude. Kenny, I mean, it's it's the one benefit that Crimson Desert has is that it's like super sandboxy. I saw a video of A GUY. STOP PLAYING IT. I SAW a video of a [ __ ] guy that got like a big tree and he like nature's wrath the tree to a uh a bridge with the food. Yes. and he stuck the giant tree on the bridge so it was like there is like a carrot and any NPC if they see food on the ground they'll go grab it. So all the guards were walking by and they'd be like and they'd be like they go to the edge like THEY GET ON TOP AND THEY START WALKING OFF THE THING THEY FALL TO THEIR death every single [ __ ] one. It looked so funny. Like big guards and So like a few of them were walking up at the SAME TIME. THEY all flew to their death. So [ __ ] funny, dude. Uh so anyway, like sometimes that sandboxy [ __ ] I felt that in a 2D sandboxy sort of way in Mario World. I was just having a blast. I'm like, does this work with this and this way? Oh, it does. Like what the [ __ ] dude? Um and yeah, that's just like the best controlling 2D game that maybe I've ever played. M I think Mario World might just have somebody like it's the the using some abilities like the cape is hard and I think it's supposed to be hard but like there's ways to cheat it too. Like you could you could like time it. You could Yeah, I got it I got the hang of it a bit later but like I think Mario might be one of the best feeling 2D games uh outside of like Third Strike. And I'm not even [ __ ] you. I remember flying for the cape for the first time. I was like, "OH, THIS IS SO COOL." I WANTED LIKE AS a kid I wanted to keep trying to fly and fly better. You're up THERE LIKE I'M FLYING. I'M FLYING. AND THEN HE'S LIKE LIKE DIVE POPS INTO A HOLE. I'm like a man. Yeah, that's one thing World has that I don't think any platformers really done since before or since World was the secrets. Like all the different worlds, all the world map exits and secrets and you know what it does it in a more handholdy way, but you know what I got like the vibes of because I just beat it and the way the game treats its secrets is sort of similar was Astrobot. Astrobot does this whole thing where it wants you to revisit the levels and find like all of the hidden [ __ ] And what I what I loved about Astrobot was that there was a tangible upgrade path that you were seeing when you were playing that game. And it's that you're collecting bots, right? And they all go to your home world and in the home world they're building and making and doing cool [ __ ] and also making new areas and stuff but through puzzle pieces and [ __ ] So, there was a really cool tangible let's go back to the home world and see everybody doing all the [ __ ] crazy [ __ ] It feels really good. So, and I and I like the fact that some secrets are hard to find in that game. But when you go back to a level, if you have money, you can buy a bird for 200 bucks and it tweets when you're close to a secret. Oh, yeah. They pull that from uh Country Returns. Is that in Country Returns? Yeah. Squawks. Super smart. You have Squawks fly and he'll like he'll start like when you're near something. That's it. And it it feels like Yeah. Astrobot was an amalgamation kind of game, but that's another game that's just like a joy. And as I did you beat it or did you play? Yeah, I did. I at the time 100%ed it. Yeah, they've added DLC since that I have not. There's like 26 more bots and I need to do and I need to do the whatever like the the DLC like you know Kaiso runs are. you know, so so I can fully complete. Did you get Sephro or No, I don't even remember. Okay, so the last one I think I got Cloud but I'm pretty sure I got Cloud. I don't know. The last one where you get Zephro is legit hard as [ __ ] And it it you'll do it in an hour, but it is it demands of you to be like on for five straight minutes. Like five straight minutes of like road a bunch of [ __ ] [ __ ] So they took that from Mario 3D World, the last level of that. And Galaxy 2 actually. Uh they have a a level where you have to basically do go through every type of scenario the game hits at you and you got to do it in one run. You can't get hit and you got to do it like no checkpointing. Like they're they're they're pain in the asses. Yeah. What was what was the thing that it said at the end of the special levels in Mario World? Like you are so cool or some [ __ ] I was like like what the [ __ ] is this telling me? As a kid, you're like, "Yeah, holy shit." As a kid, you believed it, bro. Yeah. I That's one thing I You're a superstar. I really appreciate about Mario 64 and Mario World. That [ __ ] makes you feel like a kid again. Like for me experiencing that the first time, like it legit made me feel like a kid again that I was playing at Super Metroid. Probably not as much. I would not have appreciated that again. I took a picture. I don't think I would have in front of the TV screen when I beat Super Mario World as a kid. Like I [ __ ] did it. Yeah. Like I did it, you know? I had my mom and dad or mom just take a picture of me. Get the get the little disposal out. Anyway, yeah. Mario, we have to play uh the four player [ __ ] version of Mario Wonder. Oh, yeah. They made a Yo video games version of that. Yeah. So, we got to do that when Steve's in town. We got to make the Mario griefing, you know. I think I don't know. I I actually haven't looked into it too much, but I'm like it's not new levels, is it? Like, no, it's like games and stuff. Yeah, it's like it's like goofy things. It's four player [ __ ] Oh, whatever. It's It'll be good for us. Um Steve's not coming the night. No. Uh, so with Star Fox games that they're going about to play and Star Fox and the Star Fox movie, the one of the reasons I wanted to fire up and play games is that there's like a pretty healthy rumor in the industry right now that some Star Fox [ __ ] is going to happen this year. Yeah. And maybe soon, like not that far away from potentially happening. So, in my head, Star Fox has always been like Assault lost me a little bit, you know? I Assault Assault feels like a 3D Sonic game. Does it really? has this really great opening level. Uhhuh. It's really fun. I remember this. And then the rest same thing with Adventures. Well, Adventures is its own thing. It's it starts off as you do fly in. You have inner you have like little like Star Fox levels and when you'll open up as you go through the game, but like assault is like the first level is like classic Star Fox and then it just you keep playing like oh but but now it's all gimmicks. But now there's an an on foot level and the on foot controls are really weird. And the tank, we're going to do a lot of tank. We're going to have a lot of tank. The tank's going to control differently. A lot of tank [ __ ] you know. I'm like I'm like, can we fire that up? I'm like, can we just do rail SHOOTER LEVELS? NO. BUT but going in and out on foot, but it DOESN'T CONTROL. THIS IS WHAT I'm curious about is that like is is the rail shooter genre just dead where they're like and even Star Fox 64 was like a little afraid cuz they were throwing in gimmicks like tanks and stuff like that and ground travel which was still rail shooting but are are we afraid that like if you make a competent really great playing '9s era rail shooter in 2026 or whatever is that not valuable as a game anymore? It's going to be an indie dev that does it and it's going to be awesome. It's going to be a Rails shooter that's rogue like and it's going to [ __ ] Exactly. It's going to be amazing cuz even like in the early GameCube era with Assault and Star Fox Adventures, they were sort of like teetering that idea already where it's like you can't just have a rail shoe. It's got to be all these other things too. The thing is with Star Fox Adventures, it's Miiamoto [ __ ] over on a whole dinosaur adventure. Yeah. And it's like make this Star Fox cuz he looks like Fox. Okay, Miiamoto. So, you know, that one is always like I give a little leeway on that because it's not even supposed to be Star Fox. Yeah, like for example, like FF7 Rebirth had a rail shooter mini game and it sucks. It's fine. It's serviceable, but it's like it's that space shooter one you play in the Golden Saucer and it's so like it literally has Toy Story bad guy. It's [ __ ] bad. It's not good. And it it's not paced well. And like yeah, this is just a bad rail shooter. So I am like can we get a good one of these? [ __ ] can we can we like actually get a dope? Like it would be so how I'm just going to say this. How [ __ ] awesome would it be if we had Nintendo make a cool competent rail shooter with mechanics and counters and all this [ __ ] and you had to do it with your friends? What if it was four players? What if it was a fourplayer online? You would think they've already forgotten about it. You would think the whole game chat feature of the Switch 2 would naturally lead to everyone having these Star Fox moments of like their head talking in five frames a second Fox. Yeah. You know, every, you know, four players all part of the Star Fox team and, you know, as you're talking, your head is bobbing at five frames. You know, it's perfect. Game chat was made for this I just think it would be so neat. Like you could easily see like through a mini map, right? Because a rail shooter isn't all range mode. No, no, no. That would be a different thing. We're just we're all progressing at like similar speeds forward, right? But there would be limiters to keep you all together cuz you have to stay as a squad. But how [ __ ] cool would it would be if you had like duo barrel rolls and [ __ ] like like for example, beat them ups do this, right? Where you team up with each other and have moments to get together to do a big like Marvel Ultimate Alliance did this [ __ ] where it's like, "Oh, we all got to get together and do a big thing." Like that should definitely be a [ __ ] thing, dude. You have like a grapple beam where like two players do a beam thing and you're able to like grab on to a big enemy and like you both like shake the right I need help over here. Get over here and help me. So you got to go over there and help him up and lift something out or do some weird [ __ ] like treat it like it is a co-op game but in a rail shooting. This could this has not been done that much before. This could be really [ __ ] cool. And then there's like action sequences where it's like all mega speed you covering each other and [ __ ] I'm like [ __ ] Like we can make this not all about Star Fox. It could be about the team. Like this this is And again, I always thought like Star Fox was one of the coolest [ __ ] things Nintendo ever did. So it's like, man, this [ __ ] has just never evolved. Like and it's it has a problem where it's always devolved. Like most of the time it always goes back to the old things. They were really trying to sell you on the idea of the game pad with like oh that you're going to aim independently of flying, but all that makes you do is like add to the experience. It distracts you. It distracts. Yeah. And like Star Fox is the whole point of Star Fox was that you could pick it up and within like 30 seconds of gameplay, you get it. You know what to do. Aim, shoot. You know the button, you know, press button, shoot things. Star Fox Zero did the whole thing where it's like, you know, if you like Miiamoto even said in a quote like, you know, if you just played it for like 20, 30 minutes, I'm sure you would understand. Like, why the [ __ ] does someone need to play a Star Fox game for 30 minutes to understand the controls? Cuz uh like that goes against every philosophy you've ever [ __ ] had. Well, whatever guy did that started working on in Crimson Desert cuz god damn those controls. It's getting better. But yeah, it's getting better. But dude, Simmons played a game that I'm scared that if Max would play what? He played that rogue like with the push coins. I I tried it. I tried the demo. It's good. Yeah, cuz it's good. I'd have to like try it again cuz Yeah, cuz Max you and um freaking That's me. Oh, that's you. Oh, yeah. I'm not paying attention. You were going ham on um I played that Raccoon demo. Yeah, it was But in real life, you were going ham. Oh, in real life, I played that [ __ ] professionally. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Jungle Jive. Professional. Well, Jungle Jive. Oh, no wonder you liked it so much cuz you would play Jungle Jive cuz sometimes I was there to like So, Jungle Jive would get me more coins to play Marvel vs. Well, that was legit. That was legit gambling. Actual gambling, which is why they took it away. Um cuz then they had to do it for tickets. They couldn't do it for coins. But I [ __ ] uh would sometimes go there just to play that. Yeah. Cuz I enjoyed winning. So, I'm just going to keep doing this [ __ ] Oh, the final game is much better than the demo. That's good to hear. That's good to hear. Really? Really, Max? No. Rumble pack. Anyway, long story short, yeah, Mario Galaxy is a big ultra reference fil. Feels like it's a whole bunch of short films like like like animated shorts put together. Like there's a bunch of sequences. It doesn't have a lot of story. Gags thrown together, right? Exactly. It's got a really cool version of Star Fox in it. Holy [ __ ] Can he just unlock the core memory because of the song? And there's a lot of [ __ ] happening that happens a million miles a minute. It's not a great movie, but it does have a lot of like It's beautiful. That's put this [ __ ] in. That's what's insane. Put that in. Is it going to light up? Probably not. It does when it rumbles. Yeah. Let me get the audio fixed. How could you not? Hey, Chad. Who wants another core memory? This game created the rumble pack. It did. This would be the biggest goddamn year. Here's a Here's a core memory, chat. When you're playing video games and you're knee deep into video games and your mom calls the house and she says, "Hey, son, we need help. Make sure you put out the chicken to thaw the chicken cuz I have to cook dinner." And you're like, "Yeah, mom. Yeah, sure, mom. Sure. I'll put out the chicken." And then you keep playing and you're playing and like 4 hours later, I'm going to die. We hear the [ __ ] mom. Hey, don't forget to take out the trash. Yeah. You hear the You hear your mom pull into the [ __ ] house and you haven't [ __ ] put out the chicken and YOU'RE LIKE, "OH SHIT." YOU'RE like throwing it in the microwave. We got to try to [ __ ] thaw out the chicken. Oh [ __ ] Oh [ __ ] Oh [ __ ] Oh [ __ ] Oh [ __ ] Here we got to get mission accomplished on the first level. We got to do it. We got We got to follow Falco into remembers that [ __ ] and then your momave [ __ ] pissed. do it. And you you have to get like you have to go through all of the arches, correct? Right. And then Falos asked for help after you do that. Uh you have to keep them alive. Yeah. Yeah. And you have to keep them alive. Follow me. And you shut up. I did a hard run in this game and I do not remember like the the Star Wolf on hard mode being as hard as they were. You have to like really really, you know, use the the hard turn. Like a lot. It's like not even really that fun. Your mom was pissed, bro. I was supposed to make dinner. Then you had to like pay money for dinner and all of that was You ever seen this before? No, I don't remember. You didn't know about this? I didn't know about this. Maybe I saw this at some point. I did not know about that. It goes back automatically. Sound mono. So yeah, the whole point of the Star Fox games was replay-ability. You know, they give you like very similar to Outrun. They just give you a whole bunch of different maps that you can go through and you have to figure out how the hell do I get there? What do I got to do to get there? Evil and turn. Yeah, there's like this crisscrossing thing of like, okay, a lot of levels have have hidden objectives. Hidden objectives. So if you just play it straight, you'll just go on the easy path. But then if you know some hidden objectives, you go to other got other paths. It's one of the things that um also makes Puns and Dragons VI really [ __ ] cool is that how you play the game changes how the game plays out. Your game had hidden paths. Buster group investigured by Andros escaped Venom returned home to tell Jane's son Fox about his father's I forgot how much story this [ __ ] has. Few years have passed. Andros has again invaded the Lilacat system. General Pepper has turned to a new Star Fox team headed by Fox Mloud to save Corner Mloud and free the Lilacat system once again. I think this is the only internally developed Nintendo franchise that has full voice acting. Never went full voice acting whole game. Every character has voices. Yeah. It's about time. It's about time you showed a fox, Fox Mloud. It's about time you show up. So, again, the cool part of the game is that like super cute [ __ ] preschool uh, you know, Sesame Street characters, but they all get legit presentation of voice acting. Yeah. Which is like, it reminds me of the way they do Final Fantasy Tactics. Super cute looking. Everyone's backstabbing each other and Oh, I'm sorry. Open the W presentation. It's a Smash Brothers stage. It is. Actually is. No. No. The Smash Brothers stage is sector Z in this game. Oh, damn. You have to go. You have to go all the Well, actually, chat. I did cuz I remember that. I'm like, wait a minute. What was the 64 stage? Oh, sector Z. 64 stage was the big [ __ ] shipy and that is this one corner on on the Gamecube one but the 64 one here I'm okay did they not bring that back in the brawl brawl no they on corner after melee made a corner they just stayed on corner and then there's venom where you're on like the the [ __ ] facing cool ass presentation dude I don't need Wait, we have to go full immersive. Oh, this [ __ ] sucks. Low frame rate. Oh my god. Flippy, watch out. Yep. Two lasers. Get it again. Blue. Thanks, Fox. I thought they had me. I thought they had me. Um, that's probably what is Slippy a hot chick or a cute boy? Cute boy. Gotcha. You didn't notice. You're entering corner city now. It is a frog. Whatever they want to be from West Africa, frogs have been known to change. There you go. Uh, what's boost again? That's left to right. See left or right. Um. Oh boy. Damn. That's That's This is You're getting There we go. WHOA. DAMN, you got it. Okay, we got to get the secret SFX. This shit's so cool, dude. I wish we had like the 3DS. You know, I'm pretty sure I'm I'm absolutely sure. But there's probably absolutely rogue light smuffs, right? There has to be. That seems like it'd be just makes sense. Yes, somebody's made it and probably made it good. I'll take this one. Get the one behind me. Where's he at? Protect him, right? Something's wrong with the G diffuser. I guess I should be thankful. [ __ ] You [ __ ] This shit's still great, man. After all these years, this [ __ ] is still great. And it just controls really well, too. I'm trying. Switch, too, man. Ariel or whatever the Starbucks was the last Starbucks game in my opinion. We have to try it today. Okay. So, I have to have to slow down. I got dibs on Aula. Aula. Yeah. Aula. The 14year-old, you know, terror. Pretty smooth flying, [ __ ] [ __ ] Oh, that takes your stamina. Z and R button are like hard. Follow me, [ __ ] follow me, Fox. You freak. Falco, where you going? I found the target. Try to keep up. Cool. We're discovering this for the first time. What the hell? Somebody told you about it. If you go through all the things, you can He knows a different way. No, he doesn't. Shut up, you stupid. Nintendo Power again. SECRETS ARE A BIG DEAL. AH, secrets are a big deal, man. Easter eggs. Yeah, Easter eggs. It's Easter. Happy Easter, by the way, What happens if we get three? Is it a oneup? Three gold three extends your life bar. Ah, cool. Three gold. Someone wants to play. Daddy squealled. Enemy before he died. Enemy shield analyzed. Deploy all units. Guard. Cool. I've got a present for you. Aim for the feel like I can press this button as fast as I possibly can and it will go faster. YEAH, IT'S WORKING. SHOOT. I'm taking damage. Jesus, my hand. We're Starf Fox. Try the [ __ ] Kenny. It's legit great. It legit is great. And you know what I hate? Um the thing's rumbling like crazy in the back and my [ __ ] ass didn't even notice it. It's It not even is immersive anymore. I've just tuned it out, you know? Like it should be It The whole thing was immersive, right? But it's just been around for so long that I don't even think of it anymore. I remember one time I bought a controller from Blockbuster and it had the thing glued onto it. Glued on. Wow. You had no choice. I had no choice. So it was always going to run. So that force um it it was back in the '9s, late '90s. It was a $10 rubble at Toys R Us. Didn't require batteries. The Nintendo ones require batteries. Yeah. Why are you telling me this? Why? How the [ __ ] do they do it? They're just They're just taking the power from the system. That's so weird. Yeah, they're just taking charge from the system to make It's so weird that they engineered it better than Nintendo did. Is it Mad Cats? No, dude. It was called Force Pack, man. Force Pack. Who the [ __ ] did Agit make this [ __ ] or something? Yeah, something like that. And I remember telling everyone I knew, I'm like, "Just go to Toys R Us. They're 10 bucks. They don't They don't need batteries. They light up. That's crazy. Anything but uh I'll tell you what to press as I just did it. Use to shoot. Uh the face buttons are to shoot. No, the you're I think B is shoot or A. That one. Yeah. A shoot, B is bomb. The other one's bomb. Bomb. And like C left to speed up, C down is slow down. Z is um uh tilt. Like full tilt. And R is tilt left the other way. And if you double tap the back ones, double tap RZ to barrel roll. This level you need to kill like 150 or something to get this path. You just kill a lot of enemies. I don't remember anything beyond this. It was like I only did it once back then. Back up the squadron. A lot of they'll be home to target. You'll be a lot of enemies later on like gun. Yep. Don't let any of them. Yo, I thought seeing the Mario movies are really good things, boys. I I don't know. Uh I think the first Mario movie is good. I think it's one of the better like I don't know how you make a better Super Mario Brothers movie than the first one. I really don't. And you know, like I was kind of I was listening to what you were saying and it's like actually true because it's like, you know, it's a coming of age movie, you know, like they're like it's like an actual story. Fish out of water. It's a story. It's a story about brotherhood. story about like living up to expectations. Absolutely. There's a lot of that. There's a lot of like there's a lot of storytelling happening. So, the the second one has just a lot of really cool things and references that happen. So, it loses a bit of like the the narrative crux. It loses a bit of the emotional thing, but it's it's fine. It has like Star Fox and a ton of references and [ __ ] So, I I remember pointing and laughing at several things, you know, in the second movie. It's just it isn't I don't think it's nearly as good as the first one. The enemy's coming from the Definitely looks [ __ ] amazing. it looks way better than the first one. Visually insane. Like these animators are going ham, dude. So, favorite Nintendo franchise of all time. Bear with me. You get a bit of score when you lock onto enemies and get multi-kills. Oh, interesting. So, the explosion counts as like a like a chain reaction. And again, yeah, I'm naturally into Star Fox because like Star Fox was cool and it also was like, "Oh, this Panzer Dragon game is like Star Fox." And then I like Panzer Dragon more because I was a bit older. I was like 10. That's when you want to start like, "Oh, I don't like this stuff. It was like for kids, you know, that's like that age." So, um, the, uh, fans of Draon games were there on Saturn. I had Saturn instead of a SNES. I work my ass off of that [ __ ] This game on 3DS was speak. I'd like to see it. I do know that it got remade. Holy [ __ ] But I would like to see it. I'm kind of curious. Down with one shot. Emulation. Oh, 3DS emulation is probably really good now. I mean, Nintendo's stand. We're going to break through that beat. You can find it if you need to know. best you can do there. I mean, not to get too like down this tangent, but Nintendo's such [ __ ] for that. Like, oh, we got to stop the 3DS. You don't [ __ ] sell it. The you shut this shop is gone. Like, nobody can buy this. You cannot buy this [ __ ] Like, even if you wanted to, I like people can't legally [ __ ] buy it. So, why the [ __ ] you even Why are YOU GOING AFTER THIS [ __ ] Looks different. Yeah, Lonnie. Thank you. I appreciate it. The team is annoying me. All range mode. They're shot everybody. Kenny shot all the good guys. Kenny shoots all the civilians in House of the Dead as well. What? That's not me. You [ __ ] by Perfect Run. On the hard mode, like a hard mode route, like you have to keep them alive cuz when you get to that that Star Wolf fight at the end, you you need help. It's miserable. You need them to be dummies. You need them to be decoys or else you're just going to get destroyed. These guys are tough. All range mode has never been as powerful as as uh rail mode, right? Let's be real. Let's be real. You you thought it was cool when you were a kid. You're like, "Oh, yeah. Freedom." It's like, "Yeah, but then it's essentially like an early 3D gimmick of like actual 3D space." Like, cool. But then you realize the dog fighting is kind of [ __ ] It kind of sucks. Kind of sucks. Especially against AI in this game. It's different when you're fighting humans, but like that's my own personal take where it's like, "Yeah, my glasses, chat." A lot of these are I don't know. I don't love all range mode. The way the AI works in all range mode is just like it's not and I remember you end up just sort of like turning in a circle a lot. So I played a little game called like Colony Wars, right? And it's literally all range mode the game. Right. Right. And it's like okay, but there he is. Oh chat, what the [ __ ] is that indie game? There is somebody that's making um an indie game that's trying to solve this, right? It's not a Star Fox like, but it's like it's much closer to After. You're not done. Yes. Yeah. Gundam, chat, what's it called? Wild blue skies. Let me check. It's time for this [ __ ] Like, as soon as you see, you're like, "What the [ __ ] What's wrong? Is that it? The freak is this guy? He's the bee on the map. Okay, you're yellow. Nah, this is a Star Fox like chat. No, no, no, no. The thing that I saw was way closer to afterurner. Like drifting in drifting in a jet type [ __ ] Like it looked [ __ ] nuts. Freaky little [ __ ] Can't get him to say cocky little freaks. I killed him too fast. Somebody's got to tell me what it is. You must know. One of you guys must know. Delivery must complete. Okay, hold on a second. Ah, damn it. We didn't get hard mode route. We're going a different route. I don't know. With a gunner. Well, I mean that that level like there's there's the objective is weird. It's it's Well, it's like enemy based. Like you have to down a certain number of enemies and I'm like, you worry about your own health. Like you only that that's only going to I'm like, okay, well I Oh my god, you were close. 92 8. Oh, we were eight off. That sucks. God dang it. Reset. I don't know. Can you still get back on the I know there's like some ways you can get back on the hard route. I almost down the team, but they were getting in my way. I'm working over here. Welcome back to the stage of history. Are we going this Fortuna? Yeah. Hold on a second. Don't pause it really quick. Let me show you. We're not doing anything. Let me show you this really fast. this. And it it doesn't even have a trailer yet. It's mostly like still completely like in production. I saw like a clip of this with like crazy ass music on Twitter and I was like, "What the fuck?" that's really pretty. Wow. They said it's something closer to like Yeah. like Ace Combat and Armored Core in terms of like gameplay, which kind of fixes the all range mode problem, right? which is like pretty much crazy ass space. Now, do you have to land on an aircraft carrier? Yeah, that's the important thing. Devil May Cry in the air. Is that what it's supposed to be? Like how it's an F-14. Oh, dude. It's [ __ ] cool looking. What's your guys' favorite fighter, Jay? F14 Tomcat. What about you, Max? Of course. What about you, Chad? Mine's the A-10 Warthog. Hey, Red Line. A10. A10, homies. A10. You like the F17? Did you have one of those shirts? Did you [ __ ] Wait a minute. Hold on a second. Uh '8s jet shirts. Yeah. A10 Warthog, baby. Vintage 80s jet. Speaking A10 got shot down. That's the one that got shot down. And you know what's wild? I love the A10, but then I found out it was like very slow. It was not as fast as the uh as like some of the other gun like the other ones. But that the the the machine gun that had was disgusting. But yeah, man. A10 is a ground attacker. I just realized the game's called Delivery Musk DMC. Is this the Independence Day map? Will you help him out? Affirmative, General. A10 is a plane or is a gun on the plane. Is there a hidden guys? Is there a Is there a hidden thing on this level? I don't know. I didn't do this level. Oh, a hidden a hidden accomplished. [ __ ] That's one of ours. No, it's not. Bill, is that you? I can't believe it. I can't believe it. We can catch up later, Fox. You know who this is? This is Mike in R4. Hard to tell the good guys from the bad. Bill. Bill. They made a whole movie about that. Wasn't that like literally the premise of the entire movie of the true life [ __ ] that happened in Iraq. Destroy the UFO in time. Gotcha. What am I What am I referencing, chat? Bill. Bill. There you go. I met Bill 911. Ruthless. Thank you. Really cool. Really nice, dude. Speaking of cool science [ __ ] we're crossing the moon again pretty soon. I didn't even like I'm like, "What the hell? We're landing on the moon. This should This should be a bigger deal." No, we're just we're going back to it and circling around. Yeah, we're just kind of like going around and checking it out. Surveying. Apparently, the moon landing is like Artemis 4. And that [ __ ] is uh that in like 2028. Dang, that's going to be sick. That's going to be [ __ ] crazy. Heard the toilet. Yeah. Yeah. They felt something like that. So they just got to throw it out the window. No, they had to like stick it in front of the sun and let the sun melt it. Like melt the frozen urine vent. There's one down. Base is pretty cold. Yeah. All right. How do I do this? I don't remember this thing. Like it's like things that come out. Yeah. The first he went to the moon with a computer. That was probably as powerful as like u as as powerful as that Pac-Man machine. Not even that as powerful as [ __ ] your Tiger Electronics Tiger Electronics game. I don't know It's probably Tiger Electronics. Do you remember that there was a better CPU on Game Boy Advance than there was on the uh the Apollo missions? The hatches are open. Knock it off. An Apple Watch. Yeah, you can run the whole Apollo mission on an Apple Watch. that'd be easy. That'd be easy. Yeah, it's like that's not even a problem. Boys are wizards. What was the U-turn though? It was like Z and down something. You're not getting away that easy. I forgot. Did anyone know that chat? Chat input. Input. There's like two buttons to get down and down and break. Yeah, one down. And I think it's down on C stick. Back and break. Down. There it is. That was cool, man. I love doing that. You have to shoot towards the camera. I remember that. Oh, that looks so cool. Location confirmed. Thank you. Uh Ouch.…
