So, it’s just this. Oh, okay. Well, this one this one won’t load. So, I’m just going to say we’re break. It’s broken and we’re going to spin again. It was It was uh World Cup, so we’re not really missing anything. Oh, I was going to say I I think we’ll sleep everybody will sleep fine tonight.

Everybody is so excited. Dust strikers. Yep. So, people who just really are not fans of dirt. I guess I don’t know, man. Let’s see. Oh, you could be soul bad guy. Kai Kiski May June Millia Rage Axel Pmpkin. Uhhuh. Where’s his battleship? Chips enough. Is it though? Eddie, he has lupus. Damn it, Eddie. Bikin. Bikin. Yeah. Okay. That’s how he exercises. Fouch.

I guess maybe I can just There we go. That’ll work. Have to click on it. I forgot it’s a touchcreen. I like how it swings to two extremes. It’s either really weird [ __ ] names or Johnny. Yeah. Heaven or Oh, okay. Is this a fighting game with a twist? I guess I guess the twist is is that it takes place across both screens can’t uh can’t tell where the other guy other person’s uh health bar is. It’s that one the bottom one there. I think it’s Yeah, underneath them. Okay. Dust Strikers. How do I get How do I get down? Don’t know. I’d like to get down now. Oh, down. It’s just down twice. It’s like double double tap it. Sir, I’m going to have to ask you to leave. Sir. Sir, I’m going to need to ask you to to get out of here. [Music] I won. Now I’m going to face Chip X enough in the central hole. What about the band enough? I don’t know. Okay. Well, I can’t get the guys in Polity to bow me. Yeah. You know, on the Guilty Gear wiki when talking about this particular game, right? I don’t know who wrote this summary, but they must have had to like go to the bathroom or maybe they were making a sandwich. The story is about a new gear called gig suddenly suddenly spelled s u ddn s u dde e n t l y appearing possibly being possibly made by that man. None of the stories talk about or interact with it with it other than at the very end of story mode. Wow, great [ __ ] synopsis. I know, right? I like I like this game. It is really good and it gives me boners in my bajish. Sure. If you say so. Clearly that was written by somebody who I’m going to assume in uh middle school when they had to do like a report they had to do a book report and they didn’t read the book. So, they’re like, “Um, this was a good book. It It made me laugh. I liked the part where the dog hopped on Pop.” I would have been your father, but the dog beat me over the fence. I would have been your father, but the guy in front of me had exact change. That was a Yeah. So, let me back up a second here. Beep beep beep beep. I beat you for your own joke. So, back in college, these two guys were like trading insults with each other. It was two frat boys and one of them just spat out, “I would have been your daddy, but the guy in front of me had exact change.” And it was just like, “Oh shit.” Oh, you died. I would have been your father, but then they passed a beastiality law in Oregon. Oh my god. That I’m not touching that one. with a 10ft pole. Thanks, Bill Clinton. I cheated on my wife. I I touched lots of things to 10T poles, but not that. Hey, you guys want to go get a beer? I did not inhale. No, no, I did not inhale except for Monica Lewinsky’s pussy’s breath. Jesus. Let me tell you something. As disgusting as that is, I bet you he would just be like, “Yeah, I did it. I don’t care.” I mean, that was the worst thing that happened during his term in office. So, I mean, anymore that that just makes him want a top tier president. So, h we have two mystery presidents, ladies and gentlemen. Um, one lied about getting a blowy in the White House. The other one has done tariffs that’ll set off a possible next great depression. Which one is worse? Uh, the tariff one. Per Yeah, there you go. [ __ ] The current president has done more than get blowies. He gives blowies. He sexually assaults women. That’s been proven in a court of law. So that’s not slander. Correct. You can’t be like, “That’s not true.” Cuz it absolutely is when it’s been proven in a court of law. You can’t say it’s slander. Yeah, exactly. Killer. Killer. And Dane knows best cuz he is law. I am. That’s I am. Every single aspect of the law is me. That’s right. Oh, we got a triple threat match here. Oh [ __ ] Ask me about any kind of law. I will [ __ ] bird law. I know about it. Are we sure this isn’t a twoon-one match? I don’t know. Maybe. Oh man. No. Looks like Looks like the computers are going after each other, too. Yep. So, this is in that in fact a triple threat match. That’s that’s um that’s interesting. Well, then again, by by now they were multiplayer fighting games now, so you know why is that one carrying a just a gigantic anchor? That’s that’s what I want to know. I don’t know. Maybe maybe she doesn’t want to leave port. I guess not. Apparently, this is based off of a PlayStation 2 game. That doesn’t surprise me. I I was dizzy for a second. Wasn’t Well, Guilty Gear was on uh was a PlayStation. Yes. Game. Yeah, I am aware. Hello, Jason. Hi there. You’re watching Guilty Gear. Oh. Uh, that’s funny. At the time of this recording, there is a uh new Guilty Gear anime. I just real I just realized Guilty Gear Dust Strikers DS. Oh, I get it now. God, I’m stupid. Killer. She’s a killer. Yeah. And the uh current series is called Guilty Gear Strive Dual Rulers. Guilty Gear Dual Shock Controllers. Fantastic stuff. Fantastic stuff. Guilty Gear rabbit vibrator. Well, now I’m thinking of the [ __ ] rabbits from Rayman. And And they just scream scream like that directly into your vagina, you know. Uh, and now I’m just thinking of uh that Family Guy gag. Scream real loud at my ass. Mhm. Hey everybody, what’s more annoying, the minions or the rabbits? Yes, the minions. Oh, well, didn’t even hesitate there. Banana. But I don’t like, oh god. No, the the rabbids, at least whoever animated the Rabids TV series had a very strong understanding of classic slapstick animation. I will take your word for it cuz I have not seen that show. [Music] Like cuz the rabbits don’t even talk, right? No, the minions speak a gibberish mish mash of like multiple languages. Very annoying. It’s like alien TV. You ever seen that? It’s a kid show on Netflix. There’s a kid that There’s a child that lives at this house that loves alien TV. So, every every single day she watches it and the aliens on there just go That, you know, that sounds like something that would make me want to shoot. Yeah. Nothing we’ll ever beat, though. Um, [ __ ] Ubie, which was literally just hands with googly eyes on them. Oopie, ooby, booby, poopy, wooby. We were like, “Oh my god, who who thought this was a good idea? Somebody somewhere. Ubie doesn’t like to get into fights cuz Ubisoft. Oh, you’re so funny. I know it. You’re so funny. Hey, we should we should start a video game show where we make jokes. Yeah, that’s a great idea. We should totally do that. We can, you know, I mean, while you’re playing video games, we’re all kind of like backseat gaming. You wait, that’s a great idea for That’s the That should be the name of the show. Yeah. Michael Riley and Friends. Come on in. It’s time to play with Mike Riley and Friends. So, lately I’ve been watching uh this uh YouTube channel and uh they’ve got a show called Roll for Sandwich. Yes, you you’ve talked about this before eating. So, please go on. Yeah. Like this dude must have an iron stomach for everything that he eats on that show. Well, I um also he just happens to look like Mike and uh Billy did the fusion dance. Oh my. Yeah, but the fact that this guy is willing to freaking let Dice determine what he eats, he is a brave soul. I mean, listen, God bless him. He found his niche and uh he’s uh doing, I guess, pretty good for himself. What’s his name? I’m just going to start I’m going to start an entire show and just have people on it named Michael Riley. Jacob Pawwells is his name. Yeah. Yeah. the the channel Adventures in Ardia. I got to tell you, he kind of does look like Billy. Yeah, there’s there’s a certain element like if if Billy uh shaved and went down to like a very trim facial hair. Yes, correct. There’s I think I said this before, but there’s a I don’t know if it’s the same person or somebody different, but they do a show called Roll for Cereal where they make all kinds of wacky cereal things. It It’s funny because there’s just this niche on YouTube of weird food shows like Ordinary Sausage. Oh my god, I just realized that the uh the video has been on the roulette wheel this whole time. Uh, god damn it. 17 minutes of us talking and people at home not getting to see the Guilty Gear footage. Um, spoiler alert, you’re really not missing much, folks. Yeah, I’ll put a I’ll put something in the video, like a piece of text in the video saying, “Hey, Mike is stupid. Skip to this part.” It kind of this was actually I don’t know if you were waiting for um I I was yeah thoughts on guilty dust strikers. We saw it for those of you at home DNE and Jason and I saw it because they they have my direct window capture but I was very underwhelmed. I It wasn’t terrible but I was just like eh generic fighting game. I mean, apparently this is like a big thing on the PlayStation two, three, whatever. But like, yeah, there there was a recent one that came out not too long ago. Having said that, this particular game I was just like, [Music] you can’t see me, but I’m doing like a Richard Lewis face. Like, it was it wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t. So anyway, yeah, it was it was uh Sorry. Are you done? It was just not very good. Uh Jason, this is a very different take on Guilty Gear actually cuz it plays like a weird hybrid of Guilty Gear and a platform fighter like Smash Brothers because of the two screens and everything. So it’s quite different from vanilla Guilty Gear, which is just, you know, extreme Street Fighter basically. You know, I mean, like I I pissed off the entire fighting game uh community by describing it that way, but I mean it it is just Street Fighter with attitude. Fight me. I’m just imagining like I’m just imagining Maximillian dude is on the phone right now. wants to know that you’re located. But but but but I mean that being said, Guilty Gear also has some of the coolest character designs and best lore of a fighting series along with a soundtrack that is just freaking nothing but sick metal rips. I mean, just this looping title screen here. Like, come on. Come on. Tell me you wouldn’t listen to a whole album of that. Uh yeah. Uh, for I I’m I’m not I don’t know a whole lot about Guilty Gear, but uh for what it was worth, it played pretty good. Uh it’s just eh it’s fine. Scores out of 10. Dane five. Jason, seven. I’ll give it a six. I don’t know. Maybe I’m just sometimes fighting games don’t impress me that much. I don’t know. Thanks, Shaniah Twain. gonna spin this again. It’s uh DNE’s reaction. Wow. Yeah, you you’re really not that far off. Oh. Uh when you’re copying over the list, uh be sure to mark off uh what is it? 2006 FIFA World Cup Germany. Uh and put aor put a broken symbol next to it because it worked. Ah, even better. And nothing of value was lost. Let’s make sure to actually flip it over at this point. Do you something? You okay, Jay? You want to talk about it? Everything is sideways and going down the sideways stairs. Is you supposed is you supposed to be like this? Yeah, I think it is. Well, here’s here’s the thing. The DS was meant to be held sideways like a book for this. Yeah. Yeah. Uh yeah, that’s true. All right. Well, this is actually I feel like I played this once upon a time and it was it was not too bad. Just Soduku basically. I I know that uh Dr. Kawashima is a real person, but I couldn’t help but feel like that was just a polygonal head of uh Storada. Here Mario’s typing head. Who wants to Here’s my impression of an airplane. I am I am rotating it. Give me a second. Will it break the integrity of the game if it’s rotated? I doubt it. It’s just going to take up a whole lot less of the screen. Oh, okay. So, I don’t typically have that’s why I have the screens oriented the way I normally do is to take up more screen real estate. But for this one, I think I am going to have to rotate possibly. Can I rotate it this way? Maybe. Don’t know. Oh god. So, uh I I know Ordinary Sausage is known for putting weird things in sausage. Um but they are apparently also uh just perpetrators of food crimes in general. Why? What would they do? Uh, Starbucks boiled chicken. Ew. Hold on. I’m going to ketchup boiled steak. Ew. Guinness jello. Okay, maybe that that that sounds like it could be it could be uh good. Uh, Red Bull sausage. Ew. KFC doubled down sausage. Oh. Oh. Candied fried chicken. All right. I think I I can’t rotate the actual window. So, this is We’re going to have to watch it sideways. Everybody at home is seeing it in the correct orientation, but Oh, no. Candied. Candied what now? Uh, candied fried chicken. I guess that would depend upon what kind of candy. Um, cat food sausage. Thanks. I hate it. Mega hot dog. Uh, just a really big hot dog. Yeah, like like a meatloaf loaf of bread sized hot dog. Uh, limber cheese sausage. This guy made sausage using the worst one of the worst liquors. Jeepson’s Malort sausage. Malor Guy Fier’s Trash can nachos sausage. Oreo Coke Coke Oreo sausage red. Red. I don’t read the word, not the color. Read the word or read the color, not the word. I don’t know. Yellow. The microphone is not working. That’s right. Um, I think this game might be borked. World’s hottest gummy bear sausage. Yeah, I don’t think I’m going to be able to play this game because it requires a microphone. So, we’ll just Well, Grimace Sausage. Grimace Sausage. So, that’s where he’s that’s why he disappeared. He turned the grimace birthday meal into a sausage. Oh no. Hope nobody died. Poptart BLT. Well, so we’re going to spin the wheel again. So we’ll put a we’ll put a bork next to Brain Age. Well, that’s can’t play it. Ain’t that a bunch of [ __ ] What’s this? Okay. Resident Resident Evil. Evil. Now, is this the remastered with the not awkward voice acting? I don’t know. Um Oh, deadly silence. Yeah. DS. Hey, you were almost a Jill sandwich, but Oh, Barry. Um, so this is an enhanced version of the original uh PlayStation game to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the series. Uhhuh. Um, there are many new features added, including a knife battle sequence seen from firstperson perspective in which you must stab enemies in the face by swinging the knife with the stylus. You can also shake off enemies with the touchcreen and stab a zombie instead of merely pushing away the enemy. Um, Eric’s letter replaces the M O disc in the library for rebirth mode. This letter reveals the new location of the first doom book, which leads to a knife battle against the yawn. Uh, there are fewer hunters in Rebirth mode, replaced with the hardly seen chimeas. New unlockable costumes for Chris, Jill, and Rebecca are added in addition to the original ones. Classic mode is the story mode with only a few alterations such as redesigned subscreen and addition of touchscreen controls for a few of the original games puzzles including the original voice acting and black and white opening and color ending FMVs. Oh, okay. They are searching for their compatriots. murderes. Times [Music] times. Was it the bony m times? I don’t know. Richard times rappine. Cody Cody Rhodess Cody Cody Rhodess Michael Michael Cole Michael Michael that really that really happened on Raw last night prominent YouTuber Wang uh did videos of where are they now uh pertaining to the actors in this FMV cutscene. Yeah. Uh because they were all either uncredited or credited under pseudonyms. Oh, they found a couple of them, didn’t they? Yeah. No, they they found all of them eventually. Is it cuz they all absolutely suck? Well, no, I suppose you can say that. You know, every time I think of the Bony M song for Rasputin, I think of the the King’s Man trailer where Rasputin was there. And I just remember thinking, what an awesome [ __ ] trailer it was. But I I feel like the movie turned out to be a pile of junk anyway. I don’t know. I don’t know either. Jill, run for the house. Who cares if it’s haunted? Who cares if there’s zombies running around in the the the house? Redfield. There’s Chris, played by Red Chrisfield. There’s There’s Jill, played by Will Jallentine. No, played by Ray Rachel St. Patrick. Hi, Barry. There’s Rebecca. You remember her? Played by a 13-year-old girl. Albert Wesker, played by Guile. Yep. So, uh, basically, um, what is this? Wow. Uh Chris Redfield was played by Charlie Kaslavski. Uh Jill Valentine was Enz Jesse. Uh Greg Smith was uh Barry Burton. Rebecca Chambers is credited just under the name of Linda. Listen Linda. Uh, Eric Pius played Albert Wesker and Jason Derky played uh, Joseph Frost Durky. Uh, now what a ridiculous name Jason. So, so here’s the interesting thing. They’re all credited under mononyms. No last names. These people had to be found years later. So, the only one they have yet to actually credit properly on IMDb is Rebecca. Um, because their voices were all completely different people. Okay. Uh, Clay Enis voiced Richard Aken. Uh, Barry Gear uh, voiced Barry Burton. Dean Harrington voiced Enrico Marini. Lynn Harris voiced Rebecca Chambers. Sergio Jones voiced Brad Vickers. Uh Pablo Kun voiced Albert Wesker. Ramsey Scott voiced Chris Redfield. And the narrator in that opening segment was Ward Ston. I kind of would like to know with Barry Gear just what made them go with that his inflections in those you the master of lockpicking. It’s uh funny enough he’s an English like most of these people were English voice actors in Japan. Hope this is not Chris’s blood. Hope this is not Chris’s blood. Otherwise the the people will know that we were here. Okay, good to know, huh? The guy who voiced uh Barry was also in the game Windach. Oh, yeah. Yeah. which uh which you played on uh the N64 roulette. I remember and the PS2 roulette. Yep. You know, great job, John Luke. Uh, apparently he was also in Crisis Zone, Tobal number two, which was the fighting game uh that featured Akira Toriyama artwork uh and Tobal number one uh Soul Edge um Bloody Roar, Countdown Vampires, Bloody War 3. Uh oh. Hey, hey, buddy. Can you can you tell me what Oh, okay. Um, well, I’ll just come back later. Run or just walk very slowly. Stop. Get out of here, zombie. Make sure to double tap. Oh, cuz I was going to say they’re not fully dead until there’s a pile of blood underneath them. Yep. He He’s Kenneth from Stars Bravo team. Well, he was Kenneth. No, he no longer knows the frequency. Now he’s just dead. I’m just going to moonwalk back to Barry Barry. We’re going to have to Kenneth’s dead. Watch out. It’s a monster. It’s a monster. Well, he’ll never be the head of a major corporation. That’s right. Maybe by this creature. Well, you literally killed the zombie that was eating him. Yeah. How would you not know for sure? You literally killed the thing that was eating him. Jill, you idiot. You were almost a Jill sandwich, which is almost like a [ __ ] sandwich. Going back to uh bad voice acting, I forget which Sonic game it was. Maybe it was either Sonic Adventure or Sonic06. Um the the kid who played Tales. I don’t know how true this is, but apparently he recorded his lines thinking it was the they were just testing out the recording. So, he put in very little effort and they wound up using that in the final game. And apparently the kid was like devastated because it’s like that’s not the way I do voice acting. I sound terrible. Yeah, that was Sonic Adventure back in 1999. Uh he voiced Tales on uh in Just That Game and Sonic Shuffle. He also did voice acting for Frogger: The Great Quest uh and Backyard Baseball 2003. Okay, well at least he did things afterwards. Nothing. What is this all about? Figure it out at all. It’s called a script. Jill, now it’s time to disappear. I don’t know what’s going on. Let’s search for him separately. I’ll check the dining room again. Okay, I’ll try. Didn’t you just Didn’t you just come from the dining room? You I’ll try the dining room. You look in that paper bag you can’t act your way out of. We should start from the first floor. Wow. And Jill, here’s a lockick. It might be handy if you, the master of unlocking. He said the thing. He said the thing. He said the thing. He said the thing. Maybe I’ll need it. Oh no. Oh, pointy boob Jill. So, the voice of Tales since 2014 has been Colleen O’Naugh. Oh, she started with Sonic Boom, uh, the TV series and game, uh, as well as Lego Dimensions. Um, however, in other circumstances, there have been recycled voice lines uh uh from uh Kate Higgins uh who voiced the character previously. Uhoh. Uh before Kate Higgins, it was Amy Palant. Um huh. Sonic Advance uh and Sonic Heroes. It was a different kid, William Corkery. Oh, okay. So, after William Corkery, uh they had Amy Palant, uh because she was the voice in Sonic X, the four kids dub. Okay. But uh Tails’s voice uh uh in uh the first Sonic Adventure was Corey Bringis and in Sonic Adventure 2 it was Connor Bringus. I’m assuming they’re brothers. I would suspect. Did you say uh who Connor Bringus? How did Connor bring us on a woman once? Yes, we know, Bill. Huh. Uh, and of course, uh, oh, it’s interesting, too, because like Tails has been voiced by a kid in other things, too, cuz, uh, Sonic Christmas Blast was Christopher Turner, apparently. Uh, chill, you getting all kinds of [ __ ] up. The original voice in the animated series, Wow. was uh Bradley Pierce, ah who uh who voiced Chip in Beauty and the Beast. Correct. You know, having been in a production of Beauty and the Beast, Chip really doesn’t do a hell of a lot in that show. Yeah. Kind of just shows up. Oh, hey mom. There’s a girl in the castle. Mommy. And then Mommy. Mommy. Apparently, it’s Warburn. I made poopies. Hey. Hey, Lumiere. I just made cup poopies. Um, yeah. There’s something in that uh that boel. Yeah, I think you have to move those stairs. or twirl around like Michael Jackson. Whichever whichever you prefer. You’ve been hit by a smooth criminal. A criminal. A crude siminal. This uh this game’s not really that good on DS. I’m having an easier time time controlling it on the DS than I would have been on a PS2. I don’t know. It just it seems like the same thing. Oh no, a zombie is biting me. Let me very slowly turn around so I can aim the gun at him. But I digress. Thanks, Taz. I got to move this table. You’re welcome. Oh, that Gresian Jones over here. [Music] Oh, there you go. Yay. Yay. way. You did it. I think I like this better than the original because I have a map. I thought there was a map. I’m sure there was in the first one, but this one’s right on the screen. I don’t have to press anything to access it. Okay, that’s always nice. So, re real quote right here. Uh, ADD, ADHD, Tourett syndrome, narcolepsy, autism. All of these are injuries that I never heard of when I was a kid. Is that Is that your RFK Junior impression? I’m going to I was going to say I’m going to assume RFK opened his big stupid mouth again. Yep. Uh, news flash. RFK’s aunt was given a labbotomy for being depressed. So, I guess it makes sense that his family didn’t talk about stuff like that. Yeah. What did he What did he say? What what what the the diseases that he uh he said? ADD, ADHD, Tourett syndrome, narcolepsy, autism. All of these are injuries that I never heard of when I was a kid, you know. You know, hey, hey, RFK, you want to hear a secret? You want to hear a really big [ __ ] secret? Oh, sure. Uh, Tourett syndrome was first discovered in 1825. You [ __ ] monkey. You [ __ ] beep. It was a word so bad that I actually had to beep myself. Jean Mark Kaspar, that’s his that’s his name, by the way, was the one who found it in 1825. Uh, thoughts on Resident Evil Deadly Silence, Dane? Um, I’ve never been a fan of the control scheme of this first game. I can’t deny that it’s a really good game, but I feel like they could have done a lot better with the controls rather than slowly turn around so I can aim the gun at the zombie. Um, that being said, while this is not a terrible game, I feel like the PlayStation version was a little bit better. Jason, I was never a huge fan of like the original Resident Evil. Um, I don’t know, like inventory management and everything. Like I I was always more of a Parasite Eve guy. So, I mean it is impressive that they crammed it onto the DS though and uh the inclusion of map and uh you know like all all that on the second screen definitely makes it more playable. Yeah, I I I think I find this one a lot more fun for me to play just because um just because everything’s there for you like right in front of you. You don’t even need to hit a button to see it. Um, the control scheme could still use some work though. I don’t I don’t like the idea of left and right just turning you and then up moves forward no matter what direction you’re looking at. It’s really weird to me. Scores out of 10. Dane, uh, I’ll give it a five. Jason, [Music] five, yeah, I’ll give it a five. Oh, hey. Hey, hey, Worm Brain. Worm brain. Um, narcolepsy first reported in 1877 by Carl Westfall, German physician. Did you know that now RFK was busy studying other Germans? Yeah. I love all these all these people that that go they didn’t have autism when we were children. That’s because it wasn’t talked about. We land We landed on Ashley’s choice. That’s an extra dump card. We have four now. Yay. We haven’t used one yet. And we just landed on Michael’s choice. Well, Michael is here. So, Tetris. Well, there is there’s something here that I think he might pick. Let’s see. It’s Tetris. All right, never mind. I thought he was going to pick something else, but it is It is like one of the best Tetrises ever. Hey, wait a minute. What’s I just sold Link. What’s going on here? This is Nintendo’s Tetris. It’s got a bunch of special bonus modes based off of uh various classic NES games. Oh, well that’s nice. Yeah. Uh also uh marathon. Um yeah, clearing 200 lines basically. Uh you have to make it through level 20. What the? I beat it once. Hey, hey, wait a minute. What? What am I doing here? This isn’t Mikey. As you clear lines, the uh game progresses. Oh, that’s actually kind of clever. I like that. And and as you go up levels, uh, the game changes. I Is the computer controlling the Mario? Yeah, it’s basically a uh interactive cutscene. Ah, Mario, look out. Goomba. Hey, how you doing? You you called the for Goomba. No, no, no. The the the the bad guy is the gloomba. King DDD. Oh, Jinx. Excuse me one second. So, I think I mentioned this uh before, but uh here’s a fun little factoid. Bulletproof Software eventually became the Tetris Company. Yeah, that this is true. I I hope you didn’t think I was going to dispute that. so satisfying. Actually, I love how uh the take on it is actually a cross between the original NES and the Mario Allstars to a degree. Yeah. Give me the vat, March. Give me the bat. Give me the Give me the March. Give me the butt. Oh, now it’s Mario World 3. So, Bulletproof Software became Blue Planet Software, actually. Um, and then rolled into the Tetris Company. Um, and interestingly enough, one of the games that they are uh also famous for is uh Baseball 2000. Oh. interesting. Which which is known as Midi Maze. Midi Maze. It It was a uh early first person shooter on the Atari ST named that because you would link the various uh Atari ST PCs together uh using MIDI cables. Mhm. Also, uh the uh graphic in the background of the Tetris playing field, uh that Mario is in front of is the uh waveform uh for the Nintendo Famcom. Really? Yep. It appeared on all of their early cartridges. I see. You know, so the last time we recorded, um, we fell down the rabbit hole of weird anime synopsises. Yep. And there was one that stuck out to me particularly that I thought was quite bizarre. Um, uh, it’s called Aicon and it’s basically a world where women are anthropomorphic soda cans or something like that. Uh, it was stupified. Uh, yeah. Got licensed by Senti Filmworks. And another one that I saw that I was like, is this for real? It’s called Unkosan and it’s just about an island of apparently they’re called poop fairies. I I I I mean cuz cuz Una is [ __ ] literally. Well, all right then. And we were actually trying to figure out if a certain we were trying to figure out if a certain anime was like well known for being like super misogynistic and crazy and racist. Is it Kill a Kill? That’s the really like inappropriate one. Um I’m not certain actually. Killer Kill is a uh trigger anime, I believe. Oh, it’s a I I see you’re playing Tetris the uh traditional way. What do you mean? You’re not You’re not using the hold piece. I didn’t even know there was one. Yep. This version has hold pieces or I would be hold doing that. What do you mean by hold piece? Uh if you got a particular piece that you want it to hold on to like a uh T or a line, you can put it off to the side. Oh, so it’s just as simple as that. Okay. Yep. Yeah. That’s that’s why I always uh criticize like you know uh modern Tetris games. Oh, you guys have it easy. You can save a piece. So, and I was actually talking about this with Mike earlier on um actually while I was driving home from work. I I saw the recap of Monday Night Raw. Yep. And I have a a positive and a negative thing to say about it. Okay. All right. Positive, Ron Breaker aligning with Seth Rollins. Very good idea. He can be the muscle. [ __ ] It’s getting too fast for me. Uh I I beat that once. This This was a uh this is a solid Tetris game. Like what is your uh the every 10 lines it gets faster with a new level. Yeah, I was at level eight. Yeah, it maxes out at level 200 like or level 20 200 lines. So it it it is intense. You are literally cuz this game takes advantage of T-pins. The pieces do not lock down right away. So, you got to be like rapidly tapping that freaking button. Yep. Uh, thoughts on different mode or not enough time? We don’t not enough time. Uh, thoughts on Tetris DS? I liked it. It was uh I mean, it’s Tetris. What What more can you say about it other than Yeah. Yeah. It’s It’s good. And having all these Nintendo characters in it. Nice touch. Uh Jason, I I’m bummed that we didn’t get to see the other modes because there’s like there’s there’s one with Metroid, one with Donkey Kong, one with Zelda, uh which is kind of a puzzle mode actually. Um like this is so much more than just vanilla Tetris. Um this is probably one of the best versions of Tetris ever made and I hope that Nintendo finds a way to bring this back somehow in the future. Yeah, I I of course am a big fan of Tetris. Love me some Tetris, of course. And uh this is damn good. Scores out of 10. Dane nine. Jason 10. I’m going to give it a 10.
