0:20

to cheer! Ladies

0:30

and gentlemen, Happy New

0:32

Year! It's your

0:34

downloadable commentary for the week!

0:41

Starting our eleventh year, we're

0:43

a decade into this crazy

0:45

experiment! I'm

0:47

your host, Jeff Kanata, that's spelled with

0:49

two N's and one T. And

0:52

I am joined by my friend slash

0:55

co-host slash

0:57

nemesis. The guy who's

0:59

been here for ten years, Mr.

1:01

Christian Spicer. Hello Christian! Hello

1:04

Jeff, hello everyone. I have my, perhaps, coolest ranch

1:06

prediction ever, and I'm going to make it right

1:08

now, right at the top. No

1:11

one knows the words to that New

1:13

Year's song. May of the

1:15

new year, me and me and them. We've

1:18

all heard it a million- no you don't. No you don't.

1:20

You don't know the words to old anxiety? I see your

1:22

little video hand. No one knows the words. May

1:24

all acquaintance be forgot? Then

1:26

what? Then what? Something

1:29

old anxiety. Never

1:34

thought to mind. What? It's

1:36

another voice on this crazy show! What? Hey,

1:39

if you've been with us for any

1:41

portion of the ten years, you know

1:44

that this episode, the first episode of

1:46

the new year, is what we call

1:48

our annual. The only reason we

1:50

get to do this show, the only

1:52

reason we're still here, eleven

1:55

years going, is

1:57

because of our patrons at

1:59

patreon.com/d- Thank

2:01

you patrons. Thank you for making this

2:03

possible. We didn't start that way, but

2:06

that's where we find ourselves And

2:08

we are so grateful that we can

2:10

still be going strong. You know the

2:13

annual show every year Harkens back to

2:15

that first episode way back January

2:20

7th, I believe it was 2014 Where

2:23

Christian and I started this show just

2:26

the two of us every year our

2:28

annual we do that again we

2:30

do predictions we look

2:32

back we look forward and We've

2:36

done that for 10 years Starting

2:41

11 year 11 we thought We're

2:46

sick of each other let's be honest

2:48

we need a third voice we need

2:50

our third member of our DLC family

2:53

Lana Byshinsky is joining us on the

2:55

annual oh My

2:58

god, thank you. I feel like

3:00

when I walked in here I knew

3:02

I was getting excited getting nervous for

3:04

these predictions, but with that level of

3:06

build-up I hope I'm not crushing somebody's dreams who is

3:09

like I can't wait to just have it beat the

3:11

boys again I'm like what's up

3:13

everybody? 2024 we

3:15

in it. No Plus

3:17

one to awesome we are we are We

3:20

benefit from your presence. Thank you. You're

3:22

grateful to have you with us. I'm

3:25

grateful that you're part of the family

3:27

you are on our Wednesday paid DLC

3:29

show every single week that our patrons

3:31

at the at the Cool

3:34

ranch level right the Cool Ranch level is

3:36

what it's called that get that is that

3:38

show We're grateful to

3:40

the Cool Ranch patrons for supporting us at

3:42

such a high level and I Love

3:45

the feedback that we get about that show

3:48

that happens every Wednesday where Lana is

3:50

hanging out with us We're making jokes.

3:52

We're having fun and we're interacting with

3:54

the patrons because every single week Christian

3:56

posts a a prompt And

3:58

that it makes it a two street. We've been

4:01

doing that recently. But

4:03

this episode is always one of the most

4:05

fun of the year because we

4:07

call it the reckoning. Every

4:10

single year at the beginning

4:13

of the year we make our predictions for what the

4:15

following year in video games will be and

4:18

then we look back at

4:21

those predictions. We have

4:23

a reckoning. We are either co-rekt or

4:25

we get rekt and

4:27

for the first time this year we

4:31

have a website that's been tracking all

4:33

of that. Which let's be honest pretty

4:35

depressing to look at but still

4:37

very very cool. For some people for

4:39

other people is pretty good. If an

4:41

all-star baseball player is batting like 280

4:43

I'm pretty sure I'm

4:46

an all-star. You know what I mean?

4:49

Hey now. Hey now. Yeah. Hey now.

4:51

I have a flawless tracker. Yeah she's

4:53

batting a thousand over here. The Lenoracle

4:55

as dubbed. Joining

4:59

the Canosticator and Spicedradamus. It's

5:02

Lenoracle. I'm

5:04

on it. I'm on it. So

5:07

yes so here's the way this episode is gonna work.

5:09

It's a very special one. It's very different. It's not

5:11

anything like what we do the rest of the year

5:13

and it's so much fun. First part of

5:15

the show we're gonna look back. We're gonna have the reckoning.

5:18

Second part of the show we are going

5:20

to talk about some of the games we

5:22

know are coming in 2024. What we're most

5:24

excited about looking forward.

5:28

And then we will end

5:30

the show with our predictions for 2024. Where

5:33

we go out on a limb. We'll risk it

5:35

all. Try to

5:37

improve. Some of us will try to improve our batting

5:39

average a bit and and

5:42

see what we what we

5:44

predict in two categories.

5:46

Because ladies and gentlemen I'm sure you are

5:48

aware. A lot of websites. A lot

5:50

of podcasts. We'll do predictions.

5:53

They will do bold predictions.

5:55

And you know what? We

5:57

also do bold predictions. But

6:00

we start at bold and

6:02

we go farther out on the limb from

6:04

there. We go all the way into flavor

6:07

country. Cool Ranch predictions

6:10

that are completely unhinged.

6:13

Rockless, let's say. Completely you

6:17

know driving down the road

6:19

with blindfolds on. That's what the Cool Ranch is like

6:22

tasting a tasty chip. And again, we will say

6:24

as we do every year, Frito-Lay,

6:27

we are open to sponsorship. I

6:30

will say as I look back

6:32

and I opened my very last

6:34

coffee crisp for recording of

6:36

this episode, my very last coffee crisp,

6:40

I would be willing to accept Nestle

6:42

as a sponsor too. I would be

6:44

willing in year 11 to rebrand to

6:46

coffee crisp predictions. Predictions

6:48

we didn't think would be so good until we tried

6:51

them. Bold

6:54

and coffee crisp. Predictions

6:56

that make a nice light snack. You

7:00

know what? I think with Lana joining

7:02

in on the predicting game, I

7:05

think we might have to rebrand to

7:07

bold and coffee crisp. I like

7:09

that very much. I'm eating on

7:11

show, sorry. Once I open it, I'm going

7:14

to not eat it. It's so good. Decade

7:16

in and Christian just doesn't care anymore. Before

7:21

we get to any of that though, one of the

7:23

things we like to do also with this episode is

7:25

to talk

7:29

about the state of the podcast. Because

7:31

like I said, this is our annual. This

7:33

is our anniversary. We started January 7th. This

7:37

episode is releasing on New Year's Day,

7:41

January 1st, 2024. And

7:43

that means we've been doing this a full

7:46

decade, a decade of our lives. And

7:48

we've never missed an episode. Never missed

7:50

new content. There's been a new

7:52

and completely new episode of

7:54

DLC every single week for 10 years.

7:59

I'm pretty proud of that. We

8:02

have no worse for wear by the way, I think

8:04

we look better now than we ever have Well,

8:08

someone's doing video. I'm glad we waited 10 years

8:10

to turn on the video to be like, yeah

8:12

No, we look good. We still got it. We

8:14

both gained much more facial hair than we started

8:16

with. Yeah, that's true I've I've

8:18

gotten way grayer you still

8:20

have a useful countenance. I

8:22

don't know how that works. Dash. I think removes

8:26

10 years does it That's

8:28

me looking younger right underneath

8:30

the nose What

8:39

do you mean I don't have the experience for

8:41

this job look at my mustache look at it,

8:43

yeah 10 years

8:45

experience right next to a little bit

8:47

of Cup

8:52

of noodles, I don't know what Christian needs

8:58

So I you know, I'm very proud of

9:00

the show. I'm very proud that patrons have

9:03

decided to Make

9:05

it a priority that they've actually donated

9:07

money to us to make sure the show keeps going I

9:10

will say our patron

9:13

numbers have leveled out

9:15

they've grown pretty stagnant and One

9:19

of the things that I would like to make a goal

9:22

for 2024 is to have some growth there Because

9:25

I do think that our show, you

9:28

know for whatever reason we sort

9:30

of Hit this place where

9:32

you know it's not quite

9:34

as robust as I

9:36

would have liked not as

9:38

many patrons as I may have expected or hoped

9:40

for and While we

9:43

value each and every one of you

9:45

and we certainly wouldn't want anybody to

9:47

support the show if it's not financially

9:49

feasible You know if it

9:51

causes financial hardship we we would

9:53

rather you support the show in other

9:55

ways like Recommending it to

9:57

a friend or posting about it online in

10:00

some way. That's all great free ways to

10:02

support the show. That being said,

10:04

I do think there are folks that could

10:08

perhaps be enticed

10:10

into being patrons, and I would love

10:12

to know maybe ways that that

10:15

might happen. If you're listening

10:17

to this and you're hoping for some kind of

10:20

content or some

10:22

kind of incentive that would push you

10:24

over into supporting us, we'd

10:26

love to hear about it.

10:29

dlcfeedback.com or our Discord, 5x5

10:31

DLC on Discord, are great places

10:34

to give us that kind of

10:36

feedback. We've been really trying

10:38

to funnel

10:40

a ton of extra content into the

10:42

patron feed, the Wednesday

10:45

show with Lana, feeling this

10:47

with Christian and Alex Solman, lots

10:50

of bonus content, bonus episodes,

10:52

early stuff for patrons, video

10:55

versions of the show for patrons, ad-free

10:58

versions of the show. We're really

11:00

trying to come up with as many ways as we can

11:02

to make that support

11:05

have extra value, but

11:07

we're also looking for other ways that you

11:10

may suggest things that you are hoping we

11:12

could do. Give us those suggestions. We love

11:14

hearing them. One thing we

11:16

did do a reminder that folks

11:18

had asked about, and we got some

11:20

questions answered about, and we spent some

11:23

time digging and looking into it,

11:25

but folks were asking

11:27

us about annual billing on the Patreon. We

11:29

had turned that on, I guess we talked

11:32

about it last week. As a reminder for

11:34

maybe folks who missed that there, annual

11:37

billing is on, and it's an 8%

11:39

discount if you do annual billing. That

11:41

is helpful to us in the way

11:43

that it reduces transaction costs for

11:47

paying out that stuff of like every time you

11:49

use a card and it has a fee and

11:51

who pays that fee, blah, blah, blah. Also, folks

11:54

change cards in the middle of a month or whatever like

11:56

that. It is helpful to us if you want to do

11:58

that until that's why we also... wanted to

12:00

pass on that helpfulness to folks who

12:02

might be looking to subscribe or

12:05

a way to kind of gift an annual

12:07

subscription. So that is a toggle and save.

12:09

You also save you save 8% if you

12:11

if you buy a whole year at once.

12:15

So if you find yourself some extra holiday scratch

12:17

or you'd like to gift a patron

12:20

subscription to a friend, it's

12:22

an easy way to do that now has been has been

12:24

turned on. Thank you

12:27

for that. Anything

12:29

else you'd like to add either of you,

12:31

Atlanta, you have been more integrated into our

12:33

ecosystem over the last couple years. And boy,

12:35

it's been so much fun hanging out with

12:37

you every single Wednesday. It's really the highlight

12:40

of of my week getting to

12:42

laugh and, and joke and also

12:44

the you know, the book club has been an awesome

12:46

addition. We branded

12:48

that DLC as well. It lives on

12:51

my YouTube page. But the only way to get the

12:53

audio podcast version is to be a patron at any

12:55

level. And I've had so

12:57

much fun talking to you about books

12:59

and reading. Anything

13:01

anybody wants to contribute? Probably

13:05

one of the only things I'd say is my

13:07

you know, I feel like

13:10

every time I go on the show, I'm like, let me

13:12

just take a beat to talk about how much I admire

13:14

you both. You know, this is the

13:16

first year of the Patreon, right? I

13:19

think second year. We were we started

13:21

it in 2022. Man,

13:24

time. What a concept.

13:26

I think the

13:29

like you said, at the top of the show,

13:31

you've never missed an episode, and your dedication to

13:33

making sure that that content is out there for

13:36

people to listen to. multiple

13:39

times a week in so many different forms,

13:41

I genuinely feel like I love, I mean,

13:43

obviously hanging out with both of you, but

13:45

love hanging out this community and like the

13:47

of all the myriad of wonderful speakers that

13:49

you get on the show. And so

13:52

that consistency that you do have, that

13:55

you maintain year over year, it's just

13:57

been such a touchstone. of

14:00

joy in my life and I'm so

14:03

happy that I get to be a part of bringing that to

14:05

other people and you know thank you

14:07

so much for having me here. I jokingly

14:09

said it about the coffee crust but I am like so

14:11

deeply honored to be on this episode today and you

14:14

know being more integrated into something

14:17

which I've I

14:19

basically immediately fell in love with and continue to

14:21

love every week so. That's

14:23

lovely of you to say I

14:26

really appreciate it and you are loved

14:29

by us and the community.

14:31

It's a real treat to

14:33

have you a part of our family and

14:36

now that we've done a

14:38

decade of this Christian I think it's time

14:40

for us to announce that we're taking some

14:42

time off. We're just missing weeks now. You

14:44

have enough of a back catalog? Yeah. Our

14:46

new thing this year is just gonna we're

14:48

just gonna miss every other week really. We

14:50

can see you haven't listened to every episode.

14:52

Do you listen there? We're taking a few

14:54

weeks off. Go listen to some old stuff.

14:56

On ulceriousness one

14:58

thing I will say is as

15:02

Twitter continues to be a cesspool

15:04

and perhaps the worst cesspool has

15:06

ever been we do take pride

15:08

in our guests and having different

15:10

voices on this show and having different

15:13

guests every week and incorporating as many

15:15

different voices and personalities and perspectives on

15:17

this show and Twitter used to

15:19

be a great way to outreach

15:22

and to spread the word and to

15:24

connect with folks. Yeah it was

15:26

such a nice community. Yes there was

15:28

always terrible stuff online there's that everywhere but

15:30

Twitter was a nice community where you could

15:32

reach out to other gaming folks, developers, creators

15:35

and interact with them in a meaningful way

15:37

and share what you're doing and see what

15:39

they're doing and that is harder now. And

15:42

so I'm not trying to put the burden

15:44

fully on our listeners but we ask often

15:46

and this year perhaps more than any other

15:48

if there is someone that you love and

15:50

you know and if you know they're

15:52

active on threads or on Instagram or maybe they're still

15:54

on Twitter and there's a way for us to reach

15:56

out to them and someone that we haven't had on

15:59

this show before. We always value your

16:01

input. And we always value those new perspectives

16:03

and ideas because we on this show right

16:05

now are just three people. And I know

16:07

that there are millions of amazing people out

16:10

there that we don't know that we haven't

16:12

had on the show before. And if there's

16:14

someone you love, we would love to hear

16:16

from them. We'd love to hear from you

16:18

about those folks that we can continue to

16:21

diversify this show and bring the full spectrum

16:23

of gaming and the gaming community to people

16:25

every each and every week. It's

16:27

a big pride point for me, and I really appreciate

16:29

the work that Jeff does in making that possible. And

16:31

I appreciate all of our guests we've had over the

16:34

years that take time to hang out with us. And

16:37

I think it's a core pillar of

16:39

what this show is, and I want it to remain soon. Well

16:42

said. Couldn't agree more. This is usually the time

16:44

of year where we say, hey, start

16:47

a thread in the Discord. Send

16:50

us emails. Anybody you'd love to hear as

16:52

a guest, let

16:54

us know. Let us know. That is it

16:57

is so appreciated because Christian and I, you

16:59

know, we try to keep our finger on

17:01

the pulse of personalities

17:03

and streamers and

17:06

content creators of all kinds. But

17:08

there's so many more folks than we're

17:10

even aware of. And it's great to

17:12

be pushed outside of our sphere and

17:15

meet new folks. And that's honestly been one

17:17

of the joys of the last 10 years

17:19

is how many new people we've met just

17:22

because they've been guests on the show. We've reached out

17:25

blindly cold to folks that we didn't know,

17:27

and they were so gracious enough to

17:29

share their time with us and we've gotten to know

17:31

them. It's just been so much fun. But

17:35

since it is our 10 year anniversary, you

17:38

know, I had these grand plans, Christian, for

17:40

I was going to reach out to a bunch of

17:42

the guests past and like have them record little message.

17:46

Time flies. I wake up one day and

17:48

it's 2024 and I'm like, I didn't

17:50

do it. But I

17:52

do think it would be fun. You

17:55

know, because some people like why do you even call the show DLC?

17:57

What's the origin of the show? I do think it would be fun.

18:00

fun, perhaps, to revisit

18:02

the beginning of

18:04

the very first episode, which I

18:06

hadn't listened to until today, uh,

18:09

10 years later, fully 10 years later. Uh,

18:13

here's how our first episode, and

18:16

I should note we've

18:18

come a long way in

18:20

audio quality since, uh, that

18:22

first episode. So please excuse

18:24

the terrible, terrible audio. Uh,

18:28

this is the

18:30

intro to episode, the first episode on

18:33

January 7th, 2014. Welcome

18:37

to DLC, your downloadable content for the

18:39

week. DLC delivered the way it's meant

18:41

to be completely free.

18:44

Uh, DLC is a show all about

18:46

games, games played on

18:48

integrated circuits, games played

18:50

on tabletop, it's all about

18:52

the love of gaming. I'm Jeff Kanata and I'm

18:55

joined by my co-host slash

18:57

nemesis, Spencer.

19:00

Hello, Christian. Hey,

19:02

uh, I want to let everybody

19:05

know that this rivalry between us is a

19:07

hundred percent real. Um, uh,

19:09

I don't like, you can't even be in the same

19:11

room anymore, which is why we have to do this

19:13

show over Skype. I'm really excited. This is obviously, uh,

19:15

episode one, the very first episode of DLC. So

19:18

I think we should, um, we should explain a little bit

19:20

about what DLC is. Of course, you know,

19:22

DLC is downloadable, Kanata and downloadable

19:24

Christian. It's the digital lifestyle companion

19:27

for people who don't like cynicism.

19:29

Huh? I wanted

19:31

to see just how much rope I could give you

19:33

and how many more DLC, uh, abbreviations

19:36

you can have rattle off on a list

19:38

right here, man. Oh man.

19:40

For people that don't know the only reason I

19:42

decided to do the show is that I could,

19:44

uh, make puns and, and, uh, come up with

19:46

different abbreviations for DLC. There

19:49

you have it. The

19:51

origin story of the show. What

19:58

do you think guys? I was like, wait

20:00

for Christian to say something. It's just like, that's

20:03

just heartwarming. Oh my God,

20:05

how wholesome. I can't believe that you call him

20:07

your nemesis in the first episode. My

20:09

brain would be like, oh yeah,

20:11

probably like five or six episodes in, you'd

20:13

have like certain things built up, but like

20:16

remarkably unchanged. Well,

20:19

a little less enthusiasm on that

20:22

first episode. I was a little,

20:24

you know, low key. I

20:28

like to throw back the throwback intro

20:31

music, you know, that five hour

20:33

energy presentation, intro music being thrown

20:35

out there for, I've

20:38

mentioned this on the show before, but for folks who maybe

20:40

haven't heard it, I was sitting

20:42

in my closet in a tiny,

20:44

tiny closet, hunched

20:47

over, holding a little microphone as we were set

20:49

up doing it. And I think on that recording

20:51

you played, I think I said Skype, I think

20:53

we were using Skype. What's wild too is just

20:55

how much the technology, like there

20:57

were better microphones available than what I owned at

21:00

the time, but there wasn't

21:02

much better connection, you know, like the internet

21:04

wasn't fast enough, but to be able to

21:06

do what we do now in video and

21:08

have the audio come

21:10

through crisp and clear, I remember those early

21:12

episodes where one of us would talk and

21:14

it kind of ducks the other person's audio

21:16

and trying to do all of that live

21:19

in real time remotely. The great

21:21

irony is we had an audio producer.

21:24

That sounded as good as it could at the time. Yeah,

21:27

that's no, nothing to do on

21:29

the- We had a producer listening in

21:31

and coordinating guests. We

21:33

also, I didn't include this in the sound

21:35

bite, but we took live calls. Like you

21:38

could call in on your phone in

21:40

the first few episodes until we realized, oh,

21:42

this isn't working well at all. I have

21:45

chaos. Yeah, it was, we had a phone

21:47

number, you could call in on your phone

21:49

and try to take calls. Yeah,

21:52

yep. We've come a

21:54

long way, Lana. It's been a

21:57

decade, but I'm happy to still

21:59

be here. I'm grateful to you

22:01

Christian for being there with me every

22:04

step of the way and so grateful for

22:06

you, Lana, to join the team and be

22:08

such a vital part of what we're doing.

22:10

I'm grateful to all of the people listening.

22:12

If you were there day one or if

22:14

you just found us

22:16

today and this is your first episode,

22:18

we are grateful to have you listening

22:20

and hope you stick with us and

22:22

find value in what we are doing.

22:25

All right, we have a lot to get

22:27

to. Enough reminiscing. Let's

22:31

get to the painful stuff

22:33

because we got to get

22:35

to the reckoning, the reckoning

22:37

approaches. But first, let's

22:39

take a quick break for a sponsor. We

22:42

again do bold predictions and cool ranch

22:45

predictions, or we did last year. And

22:48

so we will step through them. I believe we

22:50

each have five bold

22:52

predictions. So let's start and

22:55

find out how well Christian did

22:57

with his first bold prediction for

22:59

2023. Here we go. A

23:03

new Naughty Dog game in 2023. What

23:06

constitutes a new Naughty Dog game? Brand

23:08

new content, right? Yeah. Yeah.

23:11

I'll leave remake or remaster out of this. Oh,

23:16

with the last sentence, he just

23:18

pulled defeat from the jaws of

23:20

victory. Well,

23:23

they didn't hit the year anyway. It

23:28

did not come out. You know, it's a 2024

23:30

remaster. New

23:32

mode, big new mode. I got this

23:35

wrong. Don't get me wrong. That is a

23:37

wrecked. That is a wrecked. I will not

23:40

try to say it is a core wrecked. That was a

23:42

wrecked. But I will die

23:45

on the hill that it was almost

23:47

correct. I think I really

23:49

think I still really think that

23:51

that multiplayer game was supposed to

23:53

early access. Like that was

23:55

this. That was this year. That had a

23:57

big key art presentation with Keely. Yeah,

24:00

I got it wrong, but I

24:02

got it emotionally right. You

24:06

know, Lana, this is her first year

24:08

participating in our prediction, so she's not going to have

24:10

any chance to get wrecked or

24:12

correct. But I believe you should be here

24:14

as the impartial judge. There's

24:17

no there's no emotional correct. There's

24:19

no emotional correct. Whatever. It's not

24:21

no emotional correct. Even like, you

24:23

know, I feel like Naughty Dog saying we're going to

24:26

do a big multiplayer mode. That

24:28

was a Cool Ranch announcement when they said it.

24:31

And so seeing this is sort of like it

24:33

falls to its natural conclusion, which is not a

24:37

dog. So

24:39

we all agree that I got it right. Perfect.

24:42

Love it. All right.

24:44

Well, I think you'll find that I am

24:46

I will be getting quite wrecked this year.

24:50

Here we go. My

24:52

first bold prediction. There

24:56

will be a Nintendo Direct the

24:59

week that the Super Mario Brothers movie

25:01

comes out, revealing

25:03

the next mainline Mario

25:05

game. Or

25:08

maybe there won't. I don't know. Either

25:10

either way. I

25:14

guess I guess, you know, maybe emotionally

25:16

there was one. There

25:18

was a new Mario game that was released this

25:21

year. So there are

25:23

words in my bold prediction

25:25

that if you reconstitute them

25:27

would make it correct. Just

25:30

place the clip. I predict

25:32

Mario movie and new

25:35

game Mario. Believe

25:39

me, I was tempted. I have the power of

25:41

the editing. Nobody

25:43

goes back and listens. They rely on my editing. And

25:45

I can't. That's true. I

25:48

have a one-year fee. I can hear

25:50

our completely authentic predictions and have not

25:53

even words from the predictions episode just rerecorded

25:55

the whole year. I

25:58

have been like I'm going to be like. All right,

26:00

I had one final cool ranch prediction and I'm

26:02

like, just saying everything that

26:04

happened. God of War, Ragnarok, free

26:07

DLC will be titled Valhalla and

26:09

it will be a roguelike mode

26:11

that will launch on, I don't

26:13

know, December, I don't want to

26:15

say too much, 11th. But you

26:17

miss that boat

26:21

because DLC Reckoning has been created

26:23

now and it tracks us and

26:25

scoreboards us. And

26:27

also a movie called Everything Everywhere All At Once will

26:29

win the Academy Award. It's

26:37

not necessarily an exact prediction of the title

26:39

so much what it's about. Yes,

26:42

Christian's mustache looks pretty good and Lana,

26:44

I'm so excited to have you on

26:46

the Reckoning show at the end. I

26:49

predict the winner of the Super Bowl

26:51

will be. Yeah. All right. So, 0

26:54

for 2 with the two of us,

26:56

Christian's second bold

26:58

prediction, also a Mario prediction.

27:02

Jeff, here's how you do a bold

27:04

prediction. Because my next bold prediction is

27:06

in 2023, we get a new Mario

27:08

game from Nintendo. See how

27:11

broad that is? Very vague, very easy.

27:13

What does it even mean? What is

27:15

that? That's what I wrote down, new Mario. We

27:18

get and he's like, what does he even get

27:20

me? Get me news? Like,

27:22

I have it in my house? I don't know. What

27:24

does he get? This

27:27

is why Spicer Thomas has the

27:29

high batting average because he just,

27:32

the vagaries are beautiful. It's beautiful.

27:34

But also spot on, we got

27:36

a new Mario game. And

27:38

they may not, like a real deal new Mario. You

27:41

could, you can't even, I don't even have to force

27:43

this one to be correct. I don't even have to

27:45

wait for Lana to pat me on the back. It

27:47

is as correct You left the gap in the gap

27:49

in the door there. So you could sleep in like

27:52

if there was like a Mario tennis or some sort

27:54

of you could have just been like, yeah, Mario was

27:56

in that, uh, Super

27:59

Smash Brothers. DLC that they were waiting with

28:02

Mario tennis not count as a Mario game to

28:05

you know no that's what I'm saying is that

28:07

Christian I'm all mr. Like on this particular date.

28:09

They will announce it on the and Christians like

28:13

There will be a red colored Predictions

28:17

will be a new Mario game that is a

28:19

2d side-scrolling platformer But it actually won't be a

28:22

variation of the new Super Mario Brothers series I

28:24

wonder what the name will be I don't want

28:26

to sit and I'm just like there's a new

28:28

game coming out Yeah,

28:30

what am I predictions is here

28:32

around October? They'll be a spooky

28:34

game that people like Nintendo

28:38

will continue to publish games All

28:45

right, so Christian one

28:47

for one for two pretty darn

28:49

good Here's me with

28:52

another swing and a miss Amazon

28:56

Acquires the major developer Maybe

29:00

they will in 2014. They did in 2014 and they did not do in 2023. I

29:06

Really thought that Amazon was gonna make a big play

29:08

for in the gaming space Last

29:11

year they they did not while

29:14

they continued to you know support games like New

29:16

World and you know They're not not in the

29:18

gaming space. I really thought 2023

29:21

was going to be the year that Amazon made

29:23

a move and I missed that one. I

29:26

think it was a solid prediction though Just

29:29

cuz Amazon is so it sounded

29:31

good Big and they have so

29:33

much money you think that it would happen

29:35

but you know what that

29:37

one does feel emotionally Yeah,

29:43

I am shocked that Netflix made

29:46

bigger moves in gaming in 2023 Publicly

29:49

right and Amazon seemed to

29:51

Luna still exists rest

29:53

in peace stadia Luna

29:56

still exists and they still give out free

29:58

games to Prime members and stuff like

30:00

that. But yeah, there haven't been these

30:02

big announcements and Netflix what a couple

30:05

weeks ago, they announced and released GTA

30:07

trilogy on mobile, they had

30:09

exclusive games come out, they've hired

30:11

folks. That

30:14

is not what I would have guessed that between

30:16

these two tech companies who kind of makes a

30:18

bigger swing. Yeah, good

30:20

news though, if you are like

30:22

Christian and I and were it was a

30:24

founder of Stadia, they extended the

30:26

time to convert your Stadia controller into a

30:28

Bluetooth controller until the end of 2024. Which

30:32

I just sounds like a joke. But

30:35

I have literally been using my

30:37

controller's box inside of which rests

30:39

the controller as a

30:41

stand for something. I need

30:43

something that's about yay high that

30:45

Stadia controller box works

30:47

real good and the controller is in it. So

30:50

it's a good controller. It's my GeForce

30:53

Now, bedroom, screen

30:55

controller. It's a good controller. I like it controller.

30:58

All right. Let's let

31:01

Christian be wrong again. That's

31:03

much more fun for me. My prediction

31:05

is we get fabled gameplay this year. I

31:07

don't think we get the game to play.

31:15

We went on to say in that

31:17

section that they would Christian was

31:19

like, there will not be just

31:22

a cinematic

31:25

trailer. It will be a gameplay trailer, which

31:27

we did not get gameplay Christian. I'll

31:30

fight. I mean, Lana can can chime

31:32

in, but I will fight on this

31:35

one. That trailer was a cinematic with

31:37

gameplay moments in it. Those were that

31:39

was game play when it was

31:41

the third person perspective and they're doing the stuff

31:43

you do in the game and it's made in

31:45

engine. It wasn't a live demo.

31:48

That was game as gameplay as

31:51

gameplay can get. I'm going

31:54

to say nah, I'm going

31:56

to say nah to that. I think

31:59

especially, you know, Maybe I'd be

32:01

like, okay, there's like a weird

32:03

semantics thing happening. But then you

32:05

say as gameplay as gameplay can

32:07

get, and that's just flagrantly untrue.

32:10

Gameplay as likely to get is

32:12

having actual gameplay.

32:14

Because that's what it says. It doesn't

32:17

say in engine, it says actual gameplay footage

32:19

at the bottom when it's actual gameplay footage

32:21

in trailers, because they want to generate the

32:23

hype. And they don't do that when they

32:25

want people to be like, maybe that's it. And then they

32:27

know that they would disappoint. I

32:29

will pull off trailers. I

32:33

will talk over Jeff as he tries to

32:35

say nice things about Lana. I was just

32:37

saying, it's a delight having a judge. We

32:39

should have done this 10 years ago. You're

32:44

pulling up a trailer to show me that it says in

32:46

engine? I think, yeah, maybe this is just

32:49

me being salty. In engine is not gameplay.

32:51

In engine is also like, we get it. People

32:53

have good engines now. I want to

32:55

see the gameplay. No, comments.

32:58

I'll find. I kept some notes. I should

33:00

have kept better notes because I have links

33:03

for other things because I keep my receipts.

33:06

I have this image that I personally

33:08

photoshopped actual gameplay footage at the bottom.

33:10

And I think it looks pretty authentic.

33:13

So technically says it on it. And

33:16

therefore, Lucas

33:19

Coles on

33:21

Twitter, someone said earlier,

33:24

you guys nailed it. This looks insane. I'm

33:26

just hearing more details about what in game

33:28

means here. We're talking engine running real time

33:30

on hardware or pre-rendered engine in engine scenes.

33:33

This is the game captured on

33:35

a Series X. It's

33:39

not the game. That's not gameplay. That

33:43

can be in the world, zooming through,

33:45

showing some stuff. That is not the

33:47

gameplay. I think the game just

33:49

played itself. The definitely the

33:51

game. But if you could just program it. I

33:54

think the definition of gameplay is HUD.

33:58

HUD is like you. What if

34:00

there's no HUD? I disagree with that. What if there's

34:02

HUD? I think

34:04

that it's the clearest with

34:06

HUD, but I think you want to

34:08

take glamour shots of the

34:11

gameplay, but you would put

34:13

actual gameplay footage if it was actual gameplay footage.

34:15

They simply would. And it could be like, these

34:17

are the actions that you do, and it

34:19

could be things that are done in

34:21

game, but it's still something that is

34:24

fake it till you make it. We've

34:26

created this action that is the entire sequence

34:28

that I've hit the one button on the

34:30

controller and it goes through everything perfectly and

34:32

looks great for the trailer, but

34:34

it's not actual gameplay footage. I

34:38

don't know. I'm reading articles on true

34:40

achievements. What did you think of the fable

34:42

gameplay? Now

34:45

using their own engine. Anyway, it's gameplay. I

34:48

didn't say you'd see someone play

34:50

the game. Let

34:53

me tell you. Wow. You

34:55

should be establishing. Wow. Thank

34:58

you. I've been trying. I've been away from

35:00

this Kanata guy for years. You

35:02

know, it's been 10 years and Mark

35:04

from marketing showed up. Is that what

35:06

happened? Yeah. Yeah.

35:09

We're going to do after this is when this

35:11

gets, this VOD gets posted on the

35:13

Patreon. There's going to be a long

35:15

running list of trailers that show what's

35:18

clearly gameplay that don't have the Lana

35:20

required asterisks of like, Oh, this is

35:22

going to be gameplay because people know

35:24

gameplay when they see gameplay. It's like

35:26

the Supreme court looking at pornography. You know

35:28

it when you see it. I

35:31

clearly am the only one here that respects the

35:34

impartial judge. That's what I roll the next clip.

35:38

Here's me. Very

35:43

much not ambiguous as to how wrong I

35:45

am. A major old

35:48

old, whatever major known Sony

35:51

franchise is brought back

35:55

on PSVR two. I

35:58

mean, I want to, I want to be like. I feel

36:00

like Christian and argue Gran Turismo VR

36:02

mode is an old

36:04

Sony franchise on PSVR 2, which

36:09

we didn't know about when at the time

36:11

of me recording that. In fact, later on,

36:13

Christian's like, oh, would GT, would Gran Turismo

36:15

count if they had a VR mode? And

36:17

I was like, ah, that's

36:20

the end of my prediction. I maybe, maybe, maybe. I

36:23

think that I could get partial points for that.

36:25

But I, unlike somebody else on the show, will

36:28

respect the judge. Well, here's

36:30

the question. I don't think it's a partial

36:32

point situation. It's like a binary thing. You're wrecked

36:34

or you're co-wrecked. Well, true.

36:36

Although on dlcwreckoning.com, there is

36:38

partial points awarded. But.

36:42

I need a word for partial points. Here's

36:45

why I would be willing

36:49

to accept either way, but my

36:51

gut would be it's on the wrecked

36:53

side of things. Gran Turismo Sport already

36:55

had it for PSVR 1, and

36:58

it was officially announced, this was

37:00

officially announced on like January 3rd.

37:04

Yeah. And so. We didn't know.

37:09

It had been talked about, because the last

37:11

game they did literally had

37:13

it on the last

37:16

VR headset they did. Cannobbicator! But

37:19

what I would

37:22

have, it stinks

37:24

because I think, I don't know when it was announced,

37:26

but I also think RE4 VR, it's

37:30

not a Sony franchise, but it's

37:32

like a beloved franchise. Not

37:35

the whole picture. Yeah. For me,

37:38

it's like. The spirit of what I was saying

37:40

was that it would be a franchise that previously

37:42

hadn't done anything like this. And I

37:44

get it, I'm wrong. I get it. The

37:48

wreckage. I'm a big enough man to handle being wrong

37:50

constantly over and over again. To

37:52

give you even more credibility though, there's an

37:54

old Reddit thread about it. Any

37:57

hints about Gran Turismo VR coming out?

37:59

Now they've announced. PS VR 2 and

38:01

like one of the most upvoted things

38:03

is grantor use o7. Good luck idiot

38:06

The whole game is built around 4k

38:08

60 FPS that will never change no

38:10

VR Like

38:13

three days later they announced VR that reddit eros. We're

38:15

like Billy to count All

38:19

right, we're up to our fourth

38:21

bold prediction this is from Christian

38:23

Spicer Oh cut out what Here

38:27

we go, this is where I just continue to play back Jeff's

38:29

from last year I think this is the year we get new

38:31

gears. That's my that's my next bold

38:33

prediction New

38:36

Gears of War is what he means and of

38:38

course no, I just said gears I just get

38:47

Someone's going to invent a new type of

38:49

gear. Yeah, we've

38:51

been the show You're

38:56

not on engineering blog you clearly

38:59

don't go to gear patrol calm

39:01

assuming is a real website To

39:06

reach out the new gear I had a

39:09

I had a very similar Fourth

39:11

bold prediction that also involved the

39:13

creators of Gears of War coalition

39:17

announces a new IP before

39:19

gear six They

39:22

did not they might know they

39:24

just yeah, yeah Roll

39:28

it over roll over exactly not all the

39:30

way wrong yet I

39:33

do hope when they announced when they show gear six

39:35

they someone on that team Listen to the show and

39:37

they go we want they do like what star field,

39:39

you know, we want to show you gear six, but

39:43

Before we do that We're

39:45

announcing a new IP I

39:52

will send a very kindly worded.

39:54

Thank you letter. You've been sending.

39:56

Please do this letters for Yes

40:00

Could have could have happened in 2023 would have been nice All

40:05

right, here's the fifth and

40:07

final bold prediction from

40:10

Christian and I just want to say I Love

40:14

this one so much. This is This

40:17

is why I do these. This is why we do

40:21

Moment you are about to hear E3

40:25

is great How

40:31

is that measurable you can't you can't make that

40:33

as a prediction III is great Turns

40:37

out I was the one who was

40:39

wrong because it was extremely measurable Happen

40:43

at all So was

40:45

it bad? Huh, how can

40:47

it be bad if it didn't happen? You know,

40:49

that sounds pretty great to me III Is

40:52

great? I Was

40:57

that measurable you can't make that as

40:59

a prediction great Great

41:03

in the amount of gravitas

41:06

that feels knowing That

41:09

it's never happening again. It was

41:11

more people great that it literally

41:13

ceased to exist Hey

41:16

More people talked about III this year than

41:18

last year. How you know, you know, does

41:20

anyone know your home address? Right

41:23

now Jess because of e3. I don't think so.

41:25

That's pretty great It

41:27

is oxen entire industry. I love it

41:30

so much Hey, well, I love it.

41:32

Three cannot be great and so so

41:34

can my prediction sometimes, you know, so

41:37

not everything can be My

41:40

final bold prediction Pretty

41:45

terrible a

41:47

big-budget live-action movie is announced

41:55

So here's why this is bad they

41:57

had already announced that there was a pac-man The

42:00

and development. So. I. I

42:03

sort of was cheating and also

42:06

wrong because no additional information came

42:08

out in all. And Twenty twenty

42:10

three about the thing that I.

42:13

Had already been announced. Just.

42:17

That. Was me getting up to the plate? And.

42:20

Just hitting myself in the head with the bass. Said:

42:24

why is that guy doing that? I don't even

42:26

consider that a strike out. As

42:28

exalted, that's terrible. Just.

42:32

I mean, it's not. It's

42:34

not as bad as he three. Is

42:37

great for such as much as

42:39

as broadly understood what how bad

42:41

it is but I was a

42:43

time of as bad mood they're

42:46

not good settlement are good and

42:48

know ah as I know where

42:50

that Pac Man announcement was going

42:52

to be made. At. A

42:54

three less the from South Africa

42:56

has there been a stars out

42:58

on stage Caesar and for Amrullah

43:00

holding his how heck they're Christian

43:02

friends are playing Mrs Pacman. Really

43:05

wouldn't He didn't. Probably

43:08

would have been the thing to make it great. Okay,

43:12

So. That concludes our bold predictions:

43:14

bold, higher probability of being right,

43:16

Not the fact that actually worked

43:19

out that way we were still.

43:22

Really runs. In fact I think we

43:24

determined of I went over Five and

43:26

Chris Christian when. One. Or

43:28

potentially to for five. Might.

43:31

Say the same one era and

43:33

parking and I say Ann Landers

43:35

Dead with him And I am

43:37

saying so, let's not get the

43:39

zoo. Which.

43:42

Is both flavor countries the boulder even

43:45

bolder than bold. We. Are in full

43:47

on slave or country. Where.

43:51

We. Are so far on the lam. you're

43:53

just throwing darts at a wall. And.

43:56

Yet. Here. Comes Christian

43:58

Spicer. Crushing. Screams.

44:02

And know Half Life Alex for

44:04

Playstation Vr to and and Twenty

44:06

twenty three. Go.

44:11

Got. Nailed it

44:13

back. That's easy way to make. Because

44:16

the it launched strong. but there weren't big

44:18

announcement but this again we were predicting this

44:20

right after. The. Big announcement of Ps

44:22

Vr to their next be a hardware thing

44:25

hadn't come out. Yes, we didn't know they

44:27

wouldn't even know the full launch line up

44:29

yet. And

44:31

Christian went in there and just yeah, just.

44:34

Really insulted me frankly and them for not to

44:36

be wrong with will. Form

44:39

the wound. Lana. If you

44:41

want tips for when we get to our predictions for

44:43

this year's you on a change in a of yours

44:45

the way I've had a tiny bit better success and

44:47

jeff as I think what would just like to see

44:50

and then i to say to a not gonna happen

44:52

but never act as. A

44:54

threat A set up a half of the mystery.

44:57

Is that right? Accept that and. Asked

45:02

us for her

45:04

Rs. My

45:06

first Koreans prediction.

45:09

Out on that limb. I

45:12

think of there is going to be a game.

45:15

That is mans twenty

45:17

twenty three that Leverage

45:19

is the current friend

45:21

in Ai technology that

45:23

it could. It is

45:25

basically books that concept

45:27

of raising these chatting

45:29

with nurturing talking to

45:32

interacting with said the

45:34

ai character As a

45:36

video game. Now

45:40

and on. Too long when I'm

45:42

through an asset other in my

45:44

a third and long standing. Mistakes

45:47

are I saw.

45:51

Ah, I saw an ad for a mobile

45:53

game where you could talk to a pretty

45:55

lady. And it would become your girlfriend.

45:58

that i don't know what it's called i didn't on

46:00

the ad because

46:02

you put on the ad the game is a match three.

46:04

It's never what the mobile game ad is. Also

46:08

like, like, like nurturing, like raising,

46:10

like people are leveraging that modern,

46:13

you know, quote unquote AI technology

46:15

in like quests and stuff like

46:17

that, right? They are leveraging that

46:19

in games, in popular games. And

46:22

if you had just said like a game,

46:24

like explicitly leveraging that'd be great. But going

46:27

on to the specificity of like the game

46:29

is centered around that technology. Yeah,

46:31

that's a wreck. That's a wreck. I

46:33

got wrecked. I wrecked myself. I mean,

46:35

I checked myself and then I wrecked

46:37

myself. You didn't check yourself and thus,

46:39

all right. Second

46:44

Cool Ranch prediction from

46:47

Christian Spicer. Halo

46:50

Infinite pivots to

46:52

something else. Is

46:57

it is irrelevancy something else? We

47:01

pivoted into oblivion. Several,

47:03

I have several links for this one.

47:06

Several. I mean, where where

47:09

pivoted is they dropped, they're

47:11

dropping the Halo engine and they're switching

47:14

to Unreal. They're not going

47:16

to make 343 isn't really

47:18

in charge of Halo anymore. They're kind

47:20

of overseeing outside development. They've stopped active

47:22

development and franchise coordination of Halo and

47:24

Halo Infinite campaign and the DLCs have

47:27

been scrapped that were planned for Halo

47:29

Infinite. Those have been completely scrapped.

47:31

They're not coming out anymore. That's not

47:33

pivoting to something else. Your

47:35

vague, your vagueness is

47:37

so I'm like, how

47:39

do I rewrite my prediction? Yeah,

47:42

exactly. Learn from the spice predominance.

47:45

Pivoting from one engine into another

47:47

that is literally pivoting into something else.

47:50

But my argument is I

47:52

feel like the intent is that

47:54

it pivots into like noticeably into

47:57

a new sort of genre

47:59

space. The

52:00

ruins heard. Cool Ranch

52:02

prediction. The

52:05

next and main line Nintendo console portable.

52:08

Also I don't think we're going to

52:10

have a separate for the ball in

52:12

a separate home. I think from this

52:14

point for the foreseeable future had accident

52:17

and oh console is also a portable

52:19

have some form or fashion Can we

52:21

just a no brainer me because I'm

52:24

a comeback predicted this year. We

52:27

hear about. Did you hear about. Feel.

52:31

Like the last bit, there is where we

52:33

turned into wrecked country. Yeah. Cause.

52:36

My mother so when I got it wrong. Lots.

52:38

Of rumors. But. We

52:41

don't know anything about switch to Switch Brouwer, Super Switch

52:43

or whatever the heck the gonna call it. But.

52:47

I think we all think it's gonna be handheld. Well.

52:50

We don't know for circus Nintendo has

52:52

been mum about. still. For. Me to

52:54

confirm at this one is correct. I would

52:56

have to break my india. Oh crap. Oh

53:04

I'm on a side getting a knock on

53:06

doors read least he is here are you

53:09

know I told me? Except as it is

53:11

doubt it is worth it to get this

53:13

one correct. I am going to break that

53:15

india you look years that as soon as.

53:18

Years the photos I took with my phone.

53:23

Or he'll understand it for the

53:25

reckoning may have a hundred and

53:27

income as if they finally taking

53:29

photos they shouldn't have want let

53:31

me wear my google glass said

53:34

athletic exactly what these are. Prescription

53:36

is a prescription little of opt

53:38

for the diaphragms. All

53:41

right. I also had a Nintendo cool

53:43

Ranch prediction. Nintendo

53:46

announced a new business

53:48

for referrals for Switch.

53:55

I'm not. Proud. Of

53:57

myself. I'm sure.

54:00

I might have said this then. I

54:02

am shocked there wasn't. There hasn't been a

54:04

ring set to I think feel like ring

54:06

bread was awesome. Yeah it's pretty well. No,

54:09

Lana. Thoughts: when a white wondering where I

54:12

think about it so much on our show that

54:14

you like One of my first episodes of the

54:16

I Remembered. As raving about it still love

54:18

it actually moving in here as well he said

54:20

it the first thing I said with i know

54:23

as Knifes Face to the rings said again ah

54:25

love that thing. I bet if it's

54:27

a minor offence, Know your.

54:29

Eyes there you go earning

54:31

up their zip it. Gonna

54:37

let us all down. When us all down. All

54:39

rights. Your. Gums. For

54:42

Symbian right again. I

54:45

think I don't know if it's

54:47

Gtx six. I think we get

54:49

new rock star shown this year.

54:51

My rock star I didn't Twenty

54:54

twenty three is the year of

54:56

rock star. Whether it's fully to

54:58

get along rumors bully to or

55:00

Red Dead three. So how's the

55:02

fortunately? a sensor like I think

55:04

this is the you're a bad

55:06

rock star peels are stealing their

55:08

own on your interests, are showing

55:10

something something something with. Onion

55:15

fields, Wow. Gets.

55:18

I've. I've like.

55:20

It's advising deep behind the owner who have

55:23

a son that's our that's our flashback music

55:25

that I mean or slant back the stairwell

55:27

though nervous or this one I I put

55:29

in my notes like ah they released Red

55:31

Dead on swear it does that count are

55:33

just gonna hit me if I argue for

55:35

that one. And then the Gtx six reveal

55:37

came out and I was just like. This

55:42

isn't worth is that Later on in that

55:44

quip, I literally say i don't think we're

55:46

going to hear Budget Six this year. So.

55:50

No one would have none that

55:52

yeah. But for you mentioning it

55:54

again now you kind of success

55:56

isn't A.ordered a suspect. This is

55:58

been my most. Catastrophic year.

56:02

By. The by far. Is

56:05

to try to share mockery that I'm

56:07

even allowed to to make predictions. And

56:10

I have two sisters. Hang up

56:12

my. The gnostic aiding case so

56:15

that he then asked to cater Caesar's.

56:17

Set up are so low as I wouldn't

56:19

be as intimidated coming and so really don't

56:21

as it did that I might join sierra.

56:24

Ah, I love Atlanta part of

56:26

this and set it up a

56:28

new I guess that's what I

56:30

was doing and. Here's

56:34

my last cool ranch prediction this one. I

56:36

even so the time was more of a

56:38

hope. In and a prediction. but. Either

56:41

way, Sony. Releases

56:44

drivers for Playstation Vr

56:46

to network with piece.

56:50

Of Fish so Sony supports plug

56:52

in your he has to be

56:54

argued into. That.

56:58

Felt very poorest me. even at the time.

57:00

it just seemed like something that. There

57:03

was the tiniest shred of a

57:05

possibility Adjusted felt like highly improbable,

57:07

but I wanted to be true.

57:09

So bad. And. Now.

57:12

I. Don't even care because met

57:14

a quest three works with. Steam.

57:17

Vr seamlessly. Beautifully.

57:21

Wireless Lee. And. So I

57:23

don't even know now. don't even care about that.

57:26

That's. Where spirit truly that prediction

57:28

is correct. Because if you

57:30

had made at the time

57:32

that Steve Steve Steve would

57:34

analysis of a sub valve

57:36

and steam would have official

57:38

wireless drivers from medical Us

57:40

headsets, it would have sounded

57:43

as ridiculous. Yeah, as. Sony.

57:45

Supporting it's like something did. Happen

57:47

big with the are in terms

57:49

of compatibility. Young just were looking

57:52

for a fastball and they do

57:54

you a curve ball but honestly

57:56

it's going production. It's based on

57:58

Sony support a importing some. things

58:00

to PC. It seemed more probable

58:02

than Meta doing it. Meta doesn't want

58:05

to close garden and want anybody touching

58:07

their headset. They want to control everything

58:09

and yet here we are. The game

58:12

pass is on it. Steam wireless

58:14

is on it. Yeah. Wild. Wild

58:16

and yet wrong. Okay.

58:19

Final Cool Ranch prediction of

58:21

the year. This is

58:23

Christian Spicer bringing it home. My

58:26

last Cool Ranch prediction

58:28

is part of what makes E3

58:31

great. Main line

58:35

Metal Gear Solid. Without

58:38

Kojima. Yeah. It's

58:42

part of what makes E3 great

58:44

this year guys. I am curious

58:46

Lana's thoughts on this and I

58:48

won't argue. I am curious Lana

58:50

and how folks feel about we

58:53

got the Metal Gear Snake Eater

58:55

announcement at E3 time. It

58:58

is a mainline Metal

59:00

Gear not positioned as a remaster

59:02

or remake. Positioned as a

59:04

retelling but it was not

59:06

at E3 and it but it is definitely

59:09

without Kojima. It is

59:11

a remake. It's a

59:14

hundred percent a remake. Snake

59:16

Eater Delta. I haven't

59:18

played any of the... Oh god I just choked myself.

59:21

It is a read.

59:29

It is Metal Gear Solid 3

59:31

story. It's a remake but it

59:33

is like that full remake. We don't even call it Metal

59:35

Gear Solid 3 remake. It's

59:37

called like Metal Gear Solid Snake

59:39

Eater Delta. Some you know weird

59:42

but it's definitely it is

59:44

definitely that game but it's

59:46

not Resident Evil 4. Yeah it's a

59:50

game that Kojima worked

59:53

on that they're putting out again in a

59:55

different form. I don't know what with new

59:58

with new VO new new new... everything.

1:00:00

Again, I'm not going to die on

1:00:02

this hill. I am curious folks thoughts.

1:00:05

This one is tough because I do feel

1:00:07

like the intro is hilarious. With

1:00:10

part of what makes E3 great. But I

1:00:12

think that's just like a fancy tee

1:00:14

up to the

1:00:16

prediction, which is Metal Gear Solid,

1:00:18

which I think was

1:00:20

like a pretty solid prediction. And

1:00:23

so I feel like the preamble

1:00:26

wasn't part of the prediction. If IMO

1:00:29

and the part I'm stuck on is, if it

1:00:32

is like really a brand new game. And

1:00:34

I, I think count as a mainline Metal

1:00:36

Gear game. I think the fact that they

1:00:38

did it without Kojima, it's kind of like a

1:00:40

big, I'm

1:00:42

kind of giving it to you. I think

1:00:45

that's more correct,

1:00:47

more correct than wrecked. But the

1:00:49

tea, but it's like hard not

1:00:51

to get distracted by the E3 CO. Will

1:00:54

you play, will you play the E3 comment one more

1:00:57

time for us please as we leave 2023? E3

1:01:00

is great. I

1:01:06

love the music on that one too. It's really

1:01:08

good. I'm so happy. It's

1:01:10

like, what's going wrong? It's

1:01:15

very good. It's very good. You

1:01:18

know what they say about Christians predictions. They

1:01:21

make an ass out of himself. I

1:01:23

think is how that one goes. Here's

1:01:25

where I got to give you math

1:01:27

props. We see on dlcreconning.com your batting

1:01:29

average is far superior than mine.

1:01:31

I would argue maybe I

1:01:33

take bigger swings. I would argue maybe I'm

1:01:36

out there on the limb a little farther. I'm

1:01:40

swinging so big. I do such

1:01:42

big swings coach. I

1:01:45

got to give you the recognition

1:01:48

you deserve. I went, I

1:01:51

think for the first time ever, over.

1:01:54

I didn't get a single one right.

1:01:57

And that's embarrassing.

1:02:00

That's hard to swallow. Taking the biggest

1:02:02

swings but always at the helmet.

1:02:05

Directly at the home helmet. I'm really right at

1:02:07

my own face. At the face. Yeah. Down

1:02:12

goes Frasier. I

1:02:17

wonder why anyone even listens to my opinions

1:02:19

on the show at all. Based

1:02:22

on my level of understanding

1:02:24

the basic level of what's

1:02:26

going on in this industry. But. I

1:02:29

appreciate everybody hanging out with us. And it's a

1:02:31

super fun time to get wrecked.

1:02:34

Even if we, you know, I like to

1:02:36

get a little co-wrecked in there. It's a

1:02:38

sprinkling of co-wrights. But congratulations to Christian. You

1:02:40

got some major ones right. Some

1:02:43

major, major, I mean,

1:02:45

I think the Rockstar One

1:02:48

baller prediction that was like hardcore

1:02:50

right on. E3. Oh

1:02:53

wait. Is great. Yeah. No,

1:02:56

you. You did get some right.

1:02:59

You know, some right. Alright.

1:03:02

Let's move on and talk a little bit

1:03:04

about some of the video games that we

1:03:06

know about coming out in 2024.

1:03:10

Because they were all shown at E3. They

1:03:13

were all shown. They're

1:03:15

so great. They're so great.

1:03:18

I would honestly say. I

1:03:21

think we know. I mean, maybe, maybe

1:03:23

I just don't recall. You know, it's hard to

1:03:25

remember back every year at this time.

1:03:28

But I feel like we know less

1:03:30

about the year coming up

1:03:32

than we usually do with regard to releases. We

1:03:34

know a lot of stuff about the first two

1:03:37

or three months of the year. But all

1:03:39

of summer is basically wide open. We don't know

1:03:41

anything that's coming out in the summer. And

1:03:45

there's like big fall games, major

1:03:47

question marks as to what's going to be big

1:03:50

fall games. And obviously, there'll be a lot of stuff

1:03:53

delayed into 2025. I

1:03:56

think honestly, we know more about 2025 in a weird

1:03:58

way. My

1:06:00

typical self here and say two i'm gonna

1:06:02

say one that is a very safe bet

1:06:04

for what i'm super excited about And that

1:06:06

star wars outlaws. Yeah, that looks incredible. So

1:06:08

good. Yeah, I love that They're doing it

1:06:10

seems to be that they're doing a non-jedi

1:06:12

story But they're also still doing

1:06:14

a lot of what makes the star wars universe Incredible

1:06:17

that is that is my safe

1:06:19

my safe bet. I would argue

1:06:21

that game Is probably

1:06:24

of the stuff we know is slated for

1:06:26

this year now Could

1:06:28

very well be delayed Very well

1:06:30

be delayed but other stuff we know is slated for this year.

1:06:32

I think That is the biggest game of

1:06:34

the year right now, right? Well, there's

1:06:36

there's gonna be stuff that's announced there's

1:06:38

gonna be bigger bigger, you know all stuff to

1:06:40

rival it, but I would argue that looking

1:06:43

at the sort of known

1:06:45

knowns Star wars outlaws is going

1:06:47

to be the biggest game that I see on the list

1:06:51

I would agree because it's multi-platform. I

1:06:53

think final fantasy is maybe

1:06:55

bigger Seven rebirth is what

1:06:57

you're talking about rebirth. Yeah, but it's an exclusive My

1:07:00

my swing that I hope

1:07:02

and hope and hope is great But it is

1:07:04

a genre that is not my favorite even though

1:07:06

I have certainly favorites in the genre It's

1:07:09

hyperlight breaker, which is also going to be

1:07:12

early access hyperlight drifter

1:07:14

the Prequel

1:07:16

if you will, but it's such a different style of game

1:07:19

I own probably as many versions of that as I do

1:07:21

resident evil 4 at this point, you know, I have it

1:07:23

on mobile I have it on switch. I have it on

1:07:25

pc. I'm pretty sure I have it on Both

1:07:28

consoles like I really love what that game does.

1:07:30

I love its energy. I love

1:07:32

its vibe. I love its combat I love its

1:07:34

music and to see them take a swing like

1:07:37

hyperlight breaker Which goes third

1:07:39

person and this big beautiful vista

1:07:41

seems incredible and to see them

1:07:43

do kind of a

1:07:46

no-man-sky-esque Approach of

1:07:48

procedural and it seems like what

1:07:50

they've talked about unending content

1:07:54

Or, you know just potential seems

1:07:56

jaw dropping but i'm a little concerned

1:07:58

about the rogue Like a robe

1:08:01

type elements in maybe how that procedure,

1:08:03

all that bigger push and a procedural

1:08:05

content will play out. but what they've

1:08:07

shown it looks stellar. I just don't

1:08:10

know if he'll be a for me

1:08:12

type game, but fingers crossed. I.

1:08:14

Think it's so interesting that both of these

1:08:16

games are missing or early access and like

1:08:18

and for me even does that make them

1:08:20

at biggest game of Twenty Twenty Fourth? As

1:08:22

early Access doesn't make them eligible for. A

1:08:25

word that an at mean anything. And typically even

1:08:27

if I know that I'm gonna love again I

1:08:29

don't. Play it in early access. Yeah,

1:08:31

interesting. That's a good cause I in

1:08:33

a good point. Ah, if if if

1:08:36

that was the case I would have

1:08:38

been talking about Boulders gate three. Three

1:08:40

years ago? Yeah, in a perfect but

1:08:42

I let single episode deal sees be

1:08:45

my favorite game of the year. so

1:08:47

I have no power and have an

1:08:49

early access to an activist and not

1:08:52

regarded as it is my third if

1:08:54

the air. And recently Christian sniffles as

1:08:56

back Against all Rules hundred of undesirables,

1:08:58

doughty. Ah,

1:09:02

my game. I mean, stories that was

1:09:04

certainly very close to the top of

1:09:07

my list, but I think even. Above

1:09:10

that I very excited for

1:09:12

have vowed. We.

1:09:14

Is the new? the big

1:09:16

huge open world first person

1:09:18

role playing game that looks

1:09:20

like you know looks like

1:09:23

a Bethesda Studios type game.

1:09:25

Are coming from Obsidian City

1:09:27

and makes great. Role. Playing

1:09:29

games. I think it's an awesome studio. Have

1:09:31

vowed Looks awesome. It's gonna be Unreal Engine

1:09:33

final. It's gorgeous. Are. We don't

1:09:35

have a release date yet for it, but

1:09:38

I think all indications are pointing to like

1:09:40

a mid year may type of a release.

1:09:42

So. I mean, I I

1:09:44

suspect avowed. Feels like.

1:09:47

A. Game that could be in contention for my top

1:09:50

five of twenty twenty four Like I did, it

1:09:52

really does feel like my. You. Know

1:09:54

my cat? nip. And. Dumb, I

1:09:56

wanted to be wonderful, I wanted to be

1:09:58

great and I'm very excited for. There's.

1:10:02

Lots of other stuff that we know

1:10:04

about. I'll let you guys pick out

1:10:06

some but I think I think the

1:10:09

Princess Peach showtime game which you know

1:10:11

it's coming in March from Nintendo looks

1:10:13

really fun and difference. I'm

1:10:15

super excited for that! Christian. I'm

1:10:17

sure your shadow for alone in the dark. I

1:10:21

want to be is it is what they've

1:10:23

shown looked interesting and then I think the

1:10:25

delays would they talked about him to delay

1:10:28

seems promising. I like that genre and I

1:10:30

will like remember liking that game when I

1:10:32

played it when I was a wee lad.

1:10:34

I'm very curious what it is because I

1:10:37

think. Survival. Horror or

1:10:39

even just as spooky. Games are

1:10:41

at an all time high right

1:10:43

now with Ari for Alan Wake

1:10:45

to the Dead Space Three make

1:10:47

even you know the soles of

1:10:49

his honor. Allies of P was

1:10:51

not. Full. Blood borne spooky. but

1:10:53

it was a creepy world and some

1:10:56

very curious if alone in the dark

1:10:58

can maintain that. Quality threshold

1:11:00

that we've been at so far. As

1:11:04

well as you have another. Yeah

1:11:06

I think be app pens a person the

1:11:08

last crown and air in a similar sort.

1:11:10

Of that's like a side scrolling one,

1:11:12

right? The Up and similar sites believe

1:11:14

I assumed it's very soon. Yeah, you're

1:11:16

at Chamber. Can there as thou.

1:11:19

Would lose the now the Game awards which

1:11:21

kind of gave me. Like

1:11:23

A or a game play with Ultimates

1:11:25

is what I would describe it as

1:11:27

a both of those I loved. Sides

1:11:29

filling the journey to the past or

1:11:32

a hollow night. etc.

1:11:34

As I'm and I'm excited

1:11:36

for two more Like very

1:11:38

colorful I'm. Beautiful. Hockey games

1:11:40

in that space and then I have a

1:11:43

couple more than a very interested in. not

1:11:45

because I care that much about the genre

1:11:47

played, other ones that the animation at been

1:11:49

falling for a long time but stellar grandma

1:11:51

effects and if the relying on and zealous

1:11:54

zero. Both. Look like

1:11:56

very. Cool dynamic games and I'm excited

1:11:58

to play just to see other. Did.

1:12:01

You I have two games that I'm curious

1:12:03

if you ever played in their original release.

1:12:05

Did you ever play Brothers? A Tale of

1:12:07

Two Sons when it first came out landed?

1:12:09

Not. Oh I'm so excited you to extremes.

1:12:11

Second of remake of course is coming out

1:12:13

February twenty eight. It's.

1:12:16

Among my favorite eventually says yeah There is among

1:12:18

my favorite experiences I think you're going to absolutely

1:12:21

to play it with side by side with your

1:12:23

husband. I think you guys will have a wonderful

1:12:25

time with that game. The all these remakes

1:12:27

that are coming out. And like some

1:12:29

of the I know lot of people and is remakes

1:12:31

and to send to get my care. what new contacts

1:12:33

But because I have such a blind spot as I

1:12:35

talked about on the sell any times in my history

1:12:38

where I couldn't or wouldn't play the game. And

1:12:40

it's kind of all of these that you it's

1:12:42

all a yeah baby. Give me another lot of

1:12:45

player in the new live. Cloudy Us. The

1:12:47

other one that I am of

1:12:49

certainly excited about is a game

1:12:51

that you know I adore and

1:12:53

I think his groundbreaking and amazing.

1:12:56

or the Braid Anniversary Edition. The

1:12:58

twentieth Anniversary edition is coming. If

1:13:00

you never played Braid that's another

1:13:02

game the just expands your mind

1:13:04

of like or what games would

1:13:06

video games can do? What interactivity

1:13:09

can do a southern blow right?

1:13:11

He has to the last and

1:13:13

I won't have enough. So. Or.

1:13:15

Yeah, another with so perfect at the

1:13:18

braid. One of the anniversary edition will

1:13:20

have like commentary and all kinds of

1:13:22

kind of bonus features that will delve

1:13:24

into the making of it. I just

1:13:26

think it's gonna be very special. Releases.

1:13:29

Coming in April end of April. Caught.

1:13:32

Up or out to others how Blade to

1:13:34

which I think it's a game that we've

1:13:36

perhaps seen more of or it's been used

1:13:38

for marketing more than almost any game. It

1:13:41

feels to me like is kind of the

1:13:43

face of X Box in many ways. in

1:13:45

terms of how many times they've shown it

1:13:47

and the graphical tag. I thought the first

1:13:50

game was incredible at that. as use of

1:13:52

sound was incredible. I thought the graphics were

1:13:54

incredible. I love the important story that it

1:13:56

told and how it told it with care

1:13:58

and respect. I'm curious what this

1:14:01

second game will be. I'm curious if they

1:14:03

kind of advance the gameplay, advance the combat,

1:14:05

or maybe dial it down in a way

1:14:07

where I felt like in the first game,

1:14:10

sometimes for me, the combat got in the

1:14:12

way of what I was there for, which

1:14:15

is more of the story and the

1:14:17

experience. I'm curious which way this game

1:14:19

leans. And then the other game that

1:14:21

we've talked about on this show and was delayed now

1:14:23

into 2024, but I still think

1:14:25

looks exquisite is the plucky squire. It

1:14:28

looks like the kind of game that care

1:14:30

away or what Nintendo does

1:14:33

or Astrobot, it looks like this has

1:14:35

joy in it. And I'm really

1:14:37

excited to see that come to life on

1:14:39

screen. I totally

1:14:42

agree that is on my list

1:14:45

of most anticipated games. Plucky Squire just

1:14:47

looks so charming and so inventive. And

1:14:49

it just looks like one of those

1:14:51

games that's gonna, like Brothers

1:14:53

of Talentshoot Sons, makes me just

1:14:55

love interactivity. It

1:14:58

just looks very special. Did you ever play Chicory?

1:15:02

Say again. Did you ever play Chicory? Chicory, no, I

1:15:04

don't think so. The art style kind of has like

1:15:06

a similar vibe in like a 3D elements, but

1:15:08

if you haven't played Chicory, highly recommend it. It's

1:15:10

a very sweet game. I

1:15:13

know a lot of people are very excited about Hell Divers

1:15:15

2. That's an

1:15:17

early February game. Mario

1:15:20

versus Donkey Kong coming out in

1:15:22

February. And the remake of Paper

1:15:25

Mario, I'm excited to revisit as

1:15:27

well. I

1:15:30

mean, there's a lot of really interesting stuff.

1:15:32

There's just not those like Titanic

1:15:36

major things that

1:15:39

we know about for 2025, like a GTA6 and other

1:15:41

things. Suicide

1:15:47

Squad might be that for folks. It just

1:15:49

seems like its release, the

1:15:52

announcement was tepid with the

1:15:54

first developer, deep

1:15:56

dive, the response was tepid. I mean, that

1:15:58

isn't in many ways. It's

1:16:00

from a prestige developer of

1:16:03

a prestige franchise and characters launching in

1:16:05

the early part of the year I

1:16:07

think if I Personally

1:16:09

am NOT super super excited for it because

1:16:11

what they've shown isn't the type of game

1:16:13

that usually keeps me sticking around for a

1:16:15

long time But if that comes

1:16:17

out early in the year and hits the way they

1:16:19

want it to and then if

1:16:21

Tekken 8 does what Street Fighter 6

1:16:23

or Mortal Kombat 1 did in terms

1:16:25

of really bringing something to The

1:16:29

fighting game space and I can there's a lot

1:16:31

here that can carry people forward But

1:16:33

it's also unfair to compare any year to 2023 I'm

1:16:38

wondering how much of 2024 people are

1:16:41

learning or like development has

1:16:43

caught up such that they

1:16:46

don't Have to announce

1:16:48

so far out or that they've seen

1:16:50

like the success of like by the

1:16:52

way This is out in two weeks

1:16:55

and like the resonance that that has with I

1:16:57

wonder how much we're pulling back from Those

1:17:00

release dates being so far That

1:17:03

we just haven't seen a lot from this year because people are

1:17:05

hyped to do the hot drops. I Think

1:17:08

that's a great point and I think that's

1:17:10

that's one of the reasons why there's literally three

1:17:13

or four months on the calendar with

1:17:15

no announced release dates, I think that's Absolutely

1:17:19

the trend and I'm I say

1:17:21

more power to it It makes this episode

1:17:24

less exciting in a way, but I think

1:17:26

it's much more palatable as

1:17:28

a video game fan to Hear

1:17:32

the announcement of something and find out it's gonna be playable in

1:17:34

just a few months Rather than being

1:17:37

like, you know in two years will be

1:17:39

you know, we'll be playing whatever it's

1:17:42

I Do

1:17:45

think that's a great point Imagine how

1:17:47

great e3 is gonna be this year where they get to

1:17:49

hot If

1:17:58

it's great, how do you quantify that? I don't know Check-in

1:18:01

8 of course is gonna be

1:18:03

a big fighting game Installment

1:18:05

that's coming out in the early part of the year

1:18:09

Christian you're now a huge like a dragon fan.

1:18:11

So I'm sure you're excited about like

1:18:13

a dragon infinite wealth. I Didn't

1:18:16

I mean I think I talked about in a

1:18:18

couple shows But yeah, I rolled I rolled those

1:18:20

and I'm very curious if the new that the

1:18:22

new but the other combat style will Keep me

1:18:24

hooked in the world or if I kind of

1:18:26

like the the updated brawler I'm

1:18:29

curious to see and the good news is it won't cost me

1:18:31

a lot to find out because Microsoft

1:18:33

just keeps backing up those those dump trucks full

1:18:36

of money Free games

1:18:38

to game path. I think it's announced for game past day

1:18:40

and date if memory serves But I

1:18:42

don't know. I'm still full on Holiday

1:18:45

sweets and everything I say on these

1:18:47

prediction episodes is all about e3

1:18:49

being great Gonna

1:18:52

be great Luigi's

1:18:55

Mansion I

1:18:57

know that banishers ghosts of new Eden is supposed to

1:18:59

be a pretty interesting game. That's early February We know

1:19:01

a lot about the first three months as you might

1:19:03

expect Just

1:19:05

not a lot past that and I'm kind of I

1:19:08

mean I'm very excited about world of goo too because

1:19:10

I loved the first world of goo and it's been

1:19:12

It's been a minute since a world of goo game came

1:19:15

out. That's I think Nearly a

1:19:17

decade since that game had an

1:19:19

installment world of goo super clever and fun Game

1:19:22

I think that wind-blown game

1:19:24

looks really cool. We saw that

1:19:27

at the game Awards Mention

1:19:31

wolf among us too. I feel like that would

1:19:33

have been your jam both of you Yeah,

1:19:38

yeah, well I'll say it for Tim the

1:19:41

trickster Fraser then so if he's listening I

1:19:43

got you buddy cool and

1:19:45

then probably to that I if I didn't call

1:19:47

out my husband wouldn't murder me visions of mana

1:19:49

and Dragons dogma to

1:19:52

oh, yes, of course dragons dogma to thank you for

1:19:54

not letting me forget that I

1:19:57

know that's a huge huge release

1:20:00

that people are excited about, which

1:20:03

is what? We have a date for that, don't we? Yeah,

1:20:06

oh, March 22nd for Dragon's Dogma 2.

1:20:11

And Rise of the Ronin is another,

1:20:13

it's like new IP PlayStation

1:20:16

exclusive, sort of first, I think it's a

1:20:18

first party game, right? First party Sony

1:20:22

game, looks pretty

1:20:24

cool. That's another one, that's one

1:20:26

of the few, that's one of the very few, I think it's

1:20:28

honestly gonna be a year with

1:20:30

very few actual Sony first party games.

1:20:33

It feels like so many came out

1:20:35

in 2023, and

1:20:37

2025 we know, I mean, we

1:20:41

know a lot about Insaniac's plans,

1:20:43

sadly, because of that leak. But

1:20:46

I think, maybe there'll be some major surprises,

1:20:48

I suspect we'll get a few. Maybe

1:20:50

Ben's new game, we

1:20:53

don't know what they're working on exactly. There's a

1:20:55

few other studios that we don't exactly know what's

1:20:57

happening, but I think this is gonna

1:20:59

be a year 2024, where

1:21:03

PlayStation will have to rely more on third

1:21:05

party stuff, and they have big stuff like

1:21:07

Rebirth. But

1:21:11

Rise of the Ronin, I think is one of the

1:21:13

few kind of Sony exclusives that we know about right

1:21:15

now. March

1:21:18

22nd is that game. All

1:21:21

right, well, an interesting year, like

1:21:23

I said, I think we know less than we normally

1:21:26

might. There's

1:21:28

not those gigantic things, although there's a

1:21:30

few. I'm really excited for

1:21:32

Avowed, and Star Wars Outlaws, of

1:21:34

course, just looks spectacular.

1:21:37

So we'll see what else we find out.

1:21:40

And in fact, I suspect some

1:21:42

of us might have some predictions of what we

1:21:45

might find out. So let's get

1:21:47

right into it. Crawl out on

1:21:49

that limb with a new

1:21:51

challenger, a new combatant has entered the

1:21:53

arena. Lana Byshinsky

1:21:55

joining our

1:21:57

predictions. Let's start with Bob. predictions

1:22:03

for 2024 ladies and gentlemen, here we go. It's

1:22:06

on. Lana, as our newest

1:22:10

participant, why

1:22:12

don't you start us off? Oh, I'm so

1:22:14

afraid, but I'm so excited. Because

1:22:17

this is my first year doing this, I always don't

1:22:20

know the gauge of what

1:22:22

feels bold or not, but I'm just

1:22:24

going to dive in. I

1:22:27

think my first bold prediction

1:22:29

naturally has to be about Blizzard

1:22:33

and Game Pass. My

1:22:36

prediction is this

1:22:39

is probably the one that I'm going to shoot myself in the foot on

1:22:41

the most out of all of them. Here's the storm

1:22:43

is on Game Pass. Here's the

1:22:45

storm? Yes. All heroes free.

1:22:49

And the wow subscription is now just

1:22:51

Game Pass priced

1:22:53

at a higher dollar amount that is only

1:22:56

marginally cheaper than the current Wow subscription. I love

1:23:00

this. I love this as a prediction

1:23:02

though. The here's the storm feels the

1:23:05

I love the two for which again,

1:23:07

it's all Blizz on Game Pass. I didn't want

1:23:09

to be like, here's my predictions. It's all about Blizzard

1:23:11

and how it interacts with Game Pass. I love it.

1:23:13

I love it. You know, but you gotta learn

1:23:16

from the Canastacator because more

1:23:18

ways to be wrong, but that's okay.

1:23:20

I love it. Hold on. Hold on.

1:23:22

Let's just let Lana talk a little

1:23:25

bit long. I said pretty specific. I

1:23:27

love it. I love it. She's in

1:23:29

this game to win this game. I

1:23:32

will. I'm going to actually I was going to let Christian go

1:23:34

next, but I feel like mine is so similar to this that

1:23:36

I got. I got to jump in with a bold prediction. That's

1:23:38

bad news for you, Lana. I

1:23:45

actually don't be anything like that.

1:23:47

Mine is very different because I

1:23:49

don't think it's all Blizzard on

1:23:52

Game Pass. My prediction is by

1:23:54

the end of 2024, Call

1:23:57

of Duty and Diablo are

1:23:59

on Game Pass. included with yet. Oh,

1:24:02

I was gonna duty and Diablo with

1:24:04

our powers combined, we're gonna be totally

1:24:06

wrong. So now that your

1:24:08

prediction is over, Jeff, and so that's the sound

1:24:10

clip you can take for the next year show

1:24:12

one, thank you for always doing that. It makes

1:24:15

the episode so much more fun. Your

1:24:17

prediction is over. But now I'm going to ask

1:24:19

you to elaborate prediction free

1:24:21

zones is a safe safe zone.

1:24:24

But I'm going to ask you to elaborate new

1:24:26

call of duty comes to game

1:24:28

pass day and date or just kind of old back

1:24:31

catalog Call of Duty or all

1:24:33

the Call of Duty. I don't think they

1:24:35

want people playing old back catalog Call of

1:24:37

Duty necessarily I do I think

1:24:39

it'll be Diablo four on game

1:24:42

pass at the end with the new expansion

1:24:44

maybe like timed with the new something

1:24:47

whatever. Yeah, exactly. And I think that

1:24:49

it will be the new new calls.

1:24:52

Yeah, but again, any Call of

1:24:54

Duty will be right prediction. All

1:25:00

right, Christian, what's your first bold prediction? Something

1:25:04

something something valve VR. I'm not

1:25:06

done with my prediction yet. I'll

1:25:08

get a little more specific. He

1:25:10

actually got more vague. Way

1:25:16

to be more insert

1:25:20

value variable x comma,

1:25:22

very low. I prediction is

1:25:25

adjective verb and noun

1:25:29

as it relates to gaming. I don't

1:25:31

know what the problem is. My

1:25:34

first prediction is just like those Latin words

1:25:36

that you see like automatically filled in and

1:25:38

documents when they're you know, just gibberish. Yeah,

1:25:41

I think it's

1:25:44

the words to the New Year's song that nobody knows.

1:25:49

Something something something valve

1:25:51

VR in the sense

1:25:53

that how do I want to do this

1:25:55

on the record prediction? Okay,

1:25:58

let's just go for it. Take a swing. They.

1:26:01

Will And now it's.

1:26:03

Talk. About. Vr

1:26:06

hardware. That. They

1:26:08

are attached to answer whether or not

1:26:10

that is their own standalone device or

1:26:12

dance in Ah yes I love yes

1:26:14

yes I gotta say I'm going to

1:26:16

fall off anyway. Ah to be a

1:26:18

little I can. Whether that their own

1:26:20

standalone hardware all esteem deck which you

1:26:23

know, Gundam I had, that's what I

1:26:25

would lean toward. Or.

1:26:27

Of. A branded partnership like they

1:26:29

did with those first What? steam

1:26:31

boxes or whatever. But that went

1:26:34

horribly for them. So that's that's

1:26:36

the production and my reasoning. But.

1:26:39

I. Like that you have a good I think there's

1:26:41

a very good chance for index to. In

1:26:43

Twenty twenty four I think we have a very

1:26:45

good if not released but then at least mentioned.

1:26:48

So I actually think this is

1:26:50

a. Pretty.

1:26:53

Solid. Prediction.

1:26:55

Even if you the ways said it was. More

1:26:58

the hating you may have one more time

1:27:00

for us census a sound bite really crisp.

1:27:03

New account. I am an early lead. Ah,

1:27:05

edit is one of the you know, do

1:27:07

you know you have to her that joke?

1:27:09

You know I agree but he hates a

1:27:12

lawyer. Because they listened to Christian

1:27:14

make predictions, I feel him as I've

1:27:16

gotten us as opposed. Side of that.

1:27:18

I think I might be a year

1:27:20

early on this, but the reason for

1:27:22

this is or my prediction that I

1:27:24

do think that them testing Steam link

1:27:26

on Quest is them testing the waters

1:27:28

for them to have a standalone headset

1:27:30

that does it like how good is

1:27:32

this or people happy enough with what

1:27:35

we can do wireless Li that we

1:27:37

can release a full wireless headsets and

1:27:39

still. Make. Games like Half

1:27:41

Life Alex so we're not constrained to

1:27:43

internal hardware and they already did that

1:27:45

with a think it's Arizona sunshine to

1:27:48

with you buy it. On. Steam

1:27:50

you get the desktop version and the

1:27:52

mobile version as I think that's their

1:27:54

posts and so this is bold and

1:27:56

that I think it happens this year,

1:27:59

but I think. they've been signaling that

1:28:01

that's what they want to do is a

1:28:03

standalone headset that still is able to harness

1:28:05

the power of a beefy GP. In

1:28:08

fairness, that's also what happens on

1:28:11

in the Oculus ecosystem. If you buy

1:28:13

it on the Oculus store, Arizona Sunshine

1:28:15

2, you get it on

1:28:17

Oculus wired headsets and on as a mobile

1:28:20

on Quest. It's cross by and there's a

1:28:22

number of games that are like that. All

1:28:26

right, Lana, your second bold

1:28:28

prediction. My

1:28:31

heart rate like elevates every time I say

1:28:34

it. My second bold prediction is

1:28:36

Sony Santa Monica releases

1:28:38

a teaser trailer for their next

1:28:40

IP. I'm

1:28:42

going next. Not a God of War game. No, I'm

1:28:44

going next. All

1:28:47

right. I like it. I

1:28:49

like it. Christian Spicer, do you have something

1:28:51

similar? New additional

1:28:53

Sony Santa Monica was

1:28:55

the prediction. All

1:28:58

right. So we will walk it back a little bit.

1:29:01

Are you both saying it's not related to an

1:29:03

IP that we already know of theirs? This

1:29:05

is something brand new. I

1:29:08

would hedge my bet. You?

1:29:14

Wait, so for that question, we asked this

1:29:16

prediction is over. Yeah,

1:29:19

fair enough. Prediction is over. But what do

1:29:21

you think? I'm basically saying not God of

1:29:23

War. Okay. I'm not saying that

1:29:25

it's like their whatever their next IP

1:29:28

that they're working on. I like it. Maybe

1:29:30

it's a re envisioning the same way that

1:29:32

God of War was like old

1:29:34

IP, but very, very new. I

1:29:37

think it'll be a new flavor. I

1:29:39

love it. I also think it's too early, especially since we just

1:29:41

got that DLC. I think it's too early to hear about any

1:29:44

other God of War thing. So

1:29:46

yeah, if there's a new sense, Sony Santa Monica, it,

1:29:49

it figures to be something different.

1:29:51

And I'm, they're such a great

1:29:53

studio that I would be excited about whatever they announce.

1:29:56

I'd guess a trace DLC. I

1:29:58

think it's something story driven. What he's doing over

1:30:00

here. Yeah, that's it. They give us

1:30:02

a little bit more of that story dad is stuck

1:30:05

in Valhalla and Boy is

1:30:07

gonna be doing something interesting. All

1:30:09

right my second

1:30:11

bold prediction is The

1:30:14

reason this makes this is bold is because

1:30:16

it hasn't happened yet. And so I think

1:30:19

it's become Talked

1:30:24

about a Pac-Man thing in here You're

1:30:27

predicting it I mean, it's

1:30:29

happened already It

1:30:33

should have happened already. So it's becoming less and less

1:30:35

likely to happen So it's getting bolder and bolder is

1:30:37

what I'm trying to say Native

1:30:40

game past support arrives on Steam Deck

1:30:44

In 2024 we get native you can get game past

1:30:47

you can put it on your steam back if you

1:30:49

do it some some stuff But I'm

1:30:51

saying there's gonna be native support. You'll have

1:30:53

a way to play game past games on

1:30:55

Steam Deck in 2024 sanctioned

1:31:00

by Microsoft Native cloud

1:31:02

or native on hardware. I'm done

1:31:04

with my prediction This

1:31:08

episode now is just called I'm done with my Said

1:31:14

good day Alright, your

1:31:16

cloud is likely I think native on

1:31:19

Hardware is less likely.

1:31:21

Yeah, I agree Lana

1:31:25

Number three and prediction.

1:31:27

I hate that I'm making this prediction and I hate that.

1:31:29

I feel like it's a bold prediction We

1:31:33

will see at least one major Beloved

1:31:37

and shocking studio

1:31:40

closure Yeah,

1:31:43

yeah, I mean it does seem like the way of the

1:31:45

world I Really

1:31:49

tried to resist making

1:31:52

any like bad predictions like that. Well

1:31:54

likes layoff predictions, you know, like it feel like

1:31:57

There's probably gonna be more layoffs coming in, you know the next year

1:32:00

But I think this is not that. This

1:32:02

is, I think this is sad, but I

1:32:04

think it is an interesting position because I

1:32:06

think the, the thing that makes it bold

1:32:08

and interesting is that it's a major studio,

1:32:10

right? And this isn't an acquisition. This is

1:32:12

like shuttering it. Yeah.

1:32:14

I think that this year, just to

1:32:16

like contextualize this a little

1:32:19

bit and sorry for going to like

1:32:21

sad zone, I feel like, you know,

1:32:23

being on the development side of things,

1:32:25

2020 was like a roller coaster

1:32:27

ride for so many reasons for everyone. And then

1:32:30

I think we saw some of the fallout of

1:32:32

that through this 2023 with like

1:32:34

an incredible number of layoffs. And

1:32:36

I fear, and I hope I'm wrong,

1:32:38

uh, that we are not done seeing

1:32:41

the fallout of the 2020 bloat. Um,

1:32:44

and I don't know how that goes,

1:32:46

but, uh, I

1:32:49

hope I'm wrong. I hope I'm wrong at the end

1:32:51

of the year, but it's so present in my mind

1:32:53

that I couldn't help, but say something about

1:32:55

it. Christian,

1:32:58

your number three, bold prediction.

1:33:01

This feels less bold after having gone through

1:33:03

our biggest games of 2024, but

1:33:06

I'm going to stick to my list. I believe I

1:33:08

texted or maybe I posted on the discord when I

1:33:10

had made, like I've got them locked and loaded. I

1:33:12

think I texted you both that like I had done

1:33:15

this. I'm not, I can't change my list mid episode.

1:33:17

It feels, it does feel a little less bold,

1:33:19

but my prediction is.

1:33:23

A consensus 2024 game

1:33:25

of the year. Pick

1:33:28

is currently unannounced. So

1:33:32

who was to say what the game of the

1:33:34

year is, you know, Alan wake to, or tears

1:33:36

of the, like there's different outlets rank different ones,

1:33:38

but like a consensus, no

1:33:40

one argues like there's no way that's a crap

1:33:42

game, like a consensus pick, a big, big pick

1:33:45

we currently don't even know about. I,

1:33:49

I would say it's hard. It would be

1:33:51

harder for me to come up with a

1:33:54

consensus pick from the games we do know

1:33:56

about. Maybe

1:34:00

Outlaws. Final Fantasy 7. I

1:34:03

think Rebirth has a really

1:34:05

good shot. Yeah, possibly. But

1:34:07

I think this is a

1:34:09

fairly safe, bold prediction. That's

1:34:12

a nice, light snack of a prediction. If

1:34:14

I ever heard one. I think where this

1:34:16

might bite me. It needs a little salt.

1:34:21

Some game will come out and be

1:34:23

like an amazing game and I'll get all excited thinking

1:34:25

I nailed this prediction and then I'll Google it and

1:34:28

it was like Beyond Good and Evil 2 and it

1:34:30

was first shown in 2014. It's

1:34:33

been announced, we just forgot about

1:34:35

it. Alright,

1:34:39

what number are we on? I don't know. Three

1:34:42

or four? Three? Three. Three.

1:34:46

Three. I think you're on your third. Switch 2, or whatever

1:34:48

it's called, is

1:34:50

fully backwards compatible and

1:34:53

offers increased frame rates and

1:34:55

resolution for Nintendo first party

1:34:57

titles. Oh,

1:35:00

like switch part, like old Switch titles.

1:35:02

Exactly. Switch of the Wild games

1:35:05

that Nintendo has released. I don't think they're going to

1:35:07

do it for every game. You can't

1:35:09

just plug any Switch game and it'll be better. But

1:35:12

I do think Nintendo, like Mario Kart 8

1:35:15

will have

1:35:17

a higher frame rate, higher resolution on the

1:35:19

second Switch. You

1:35:21

know, Cheers the Kingdom, Breath of the Wild. The

1:35:25

first party games will have added benefit

1:35:27

and it will be fully backwards compatible.

1:35:31

I hope, I'm going to find like the

1:35:34

one game, like Treasure Tracker doesn't. I'm going

1:35:36

to go through the library. Donkey

1:35:38

Kong Tropical Freeze already ran at

1:35:40

an amazing frame rate. It runs

1:35:43

no better on Switch 2. I

1:35:48

hope that's true. That'd be huge. I

1:35:51

would love to see that, whether it's DLSS or

1:35:53

some like AI up-resing and up-scaling

1:35:55

that makes it happen, but that'd be awesome.

1:35:58

I do think that's bold though. like

1:36:00

Nintendo would be like, nah. Buy

1:36:02

it again. Well, really, fit. And you'll buy it. Yeah,

1:36:05

I know. That's exactly what I told

1:36:07

you. Yeah. Because Nintendo, yeah,

1:36:09

it would be like, or you can buy

1:36:11

your subscription that allows you to get. Yeah.

1:36:15

Now added to Nintendo Switch Online Family

1:36:17

Plan, your old games with better frame

1:36:19

rate. You buy our subscription. We will

1:36:21

allow you to connect to the internet

1:36:23

you already paid for so

1:36:26

that you can download the things you already bought from

1:36:28

us. Only more likely than

1:36:30

my death is

1:36:32

to be wrong prediction. All right. Lana,

1:36:34

number four, bold prediction. My

1:36:40

number four, bold prediction is

1:36:42

there's a specific piece that makes it bold.

1:36:46

And that is Nintendo announces the next console Q1 2024

1:36:48

alongside a beloved Legend of Zelda remaster.

1:36:57

Ah, like Wind Waker or Ocarina of Time,

1:36:59

Majora's Mask. Interesting.

1:37:03

So not a Mario. Not Mario. The

1:37:07

system seller

1:37:09

will be a Zelda remake.

1:37:12

That is a very bold prediction. I like that. I

1:37:14

don't know if it will be the system seller, but like

1:37:16

it is like a flagship piece of it

1:37:18

because I imagine they'll be like, here's the next

1:37:21

switch. And then it'll just have a trailer

1:37:23

that's about the technology of it. But

1:37:25

I think that like, and here are the

1:37:28

things that you should be most hyped about.

1:37:30

Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask, some kind of

1:37:32

beloved Zelda remastering will

1:37:34

be on there. Very bold,

1:37:36

very plausible. I love it. Christian

1:37:40

Spicer, your penultimate

1:37:42

bold prediction. Before

1:37:45

I say that, I will say that Nintendo's

1:37:48

burned me so many times that all

1:37:50

my Nintendo predictions are cool ranch. At

1:37:52

this point, fool me once, Nintendo. Shame

1:37:54

on me. Fool

1:37:57

me twice, Nintendo. You are in cooler ranch territory.

1:38:00

are out of bold. My

1:38:02

fourth prediction is

1:38:05

a new AAA positioned

1:38:07

as AAA, whoever you want to define it, you

1:38:09

know, not I'm not talking about marketing spend necessarily,

1:38:11

but that in our gut,

1:38:13

we feel that it's a AAA

1:38:15

game, a newly a new AAA

1:38:17

positioned IP is announced by

1:38:20

Microsoft. Microsoft right now has

1:38:22

all this legacy IP that they just got

1:38:24

with Activision. They're bringing back perfect

1:38:26

dark allegedly still they're bringing back fable.

1:38:28

They're doing a lot of this stuff with

1:38:31

legacy IP. But I think we are going

1:38:33

to get a vow doesn't count. You

1:38:35

know, something that hasn't been announced yet, like a

1:38:38

new IP that is a

1:38:40

big AAA game gets announced from Microsoft as

1:38:42

like a big deal, you know, fireworks go

1:38:44

off type of like this is a big

1:38:46

announcement, we have another tentpole to kind of

1:38:48

go toe to toe with Sony and they're

1:38:51

big stable of AAA first

1:38:53

party games like that year. They

1:38:56

they announced to human and mass effect

1:38:58

at the same year. They're like, we're

1:39:01

going to do these two trilogies to

1:39:03

human and mass effect that by the way, great

1:39:07

e3 just a great e3

1:39:09

was universally acclaimed great

1:39:11

e3 were those announced at

1:39:13

Microsoft. I don't remember. They were announced at

1:39:16

Microsoft e3 press conference back to back, I

1:39:18

believe back to back but the same conference

1:39:20

it was we're doing two trilogies. One's

1:39:23

called mass effect from Bioware and there's

1:39:25

called two human it's from Dennis Dyack

1:39:27

and they're both be trilogies we promise

1:39:29

three games from each of these franchise.

1:39:33

Well, this this will be a Microsoft studio

1:39:35

which they own all of them now. So

1:39:37

I agree with that be if it's Microsoft

1:39:39

by Silicon Knights. So Dennis Dyack announcing a

1:39:41

new I don't know about Microsoft. Yeah. Yeah.

1:39:47

All right. Here's my fourth

1:39:49

bold prediction. Someone

1:39:51

other than Capcom will

1:39:54

release a triple A game on

1:39:56

PS5 with a PS VR

1:39:58

two mode it

1:40:00

can be played in in the same

1:40:02

way that Resident

1:40:04

before remake Resident Evil 7 that

1:40:07

you know, they're and Same

1:40:10

thing with GTA, you know, like that are

1:40:12

not GTA GT Grant

1:40:14

Rismo the way that you can

1:40:16

play the game as a normal PlayStation 5 game

1:40:19

But also you could play it on PS VR

1:40:21

to triple-a game big deal, but it has VR

1:40:24

support That'd be

1:40:26

great. Do you think prediction over do you

1:40:28

think it's a new game? Or do you

1:40:30

think it's a VR mode for a game

1:40:32

that's already out? Like we're adding VR support

1:40:34

to God of War Ragnarok, you know play

1:40:36

it in VR I would ever love that

1:40:39

I would love Ragnarok. I I

1:40:41

I think it'll be a new game, but I you know

1:40:45

It may be a remake of a game. I don't know. I think

1:40:47

there'll be a game that comes out on PlayStation 5 That

1:40:51

you play it for the first time and then either

1:40:53

right away, you know or shortly

1:40:56

out thereafter like with RE4

1:40:58

remake there'll be a way to play it

1:41:00

in in PS VR, too. I Hope

1:41:04

Capcom just does it for all of their games and

1:41:06

no one else Do

1:41:10

you have like do you have a studio in mind

1:41:12

that is not Capcom just anyone else No,

1:41:15

I don't know. I just think that it is

1:41:18

been I I hope it's been successful for Capcom.

1:41:20

I think it's cool I think the way people

1:41:22

talked about Gran Turismo and VR I think there'll

1:41:24

be somebody else that wants to dip their toes

1:41:26

into that and be like hey, we're we're safely

1:41:30

This is not a VR title that is

1:41:32

limited to the VR install base. We're safely

1:41:35

Releasing it on PlayStation 5 as

1:41:37

a PlayStation 5 game, but also

1:41:39

it's got this added functionality. I

1:41:42

don't know Lana

1:41:46

your final bold prediction. My

1:41:48

final bold prediction is

1:41:50

that a cozy game? A

1:41:53

la Animal Crossing is launched within

1:41:55

fortnight. Ah I

1:41:58

like that that. Farm

1:42:00

Night. Farm Night. Yeah,

1:42:03

exactly. Local

1:42:05

Fortnite kind of is that, but I

1:42:07

could totally see them like looking

1:42:10

at the data and seeing more people are

1:42:12

playing creative mode, you know, within just like

1:42:14

really embracing that. I could see that. Is

1:42:17

it? Because I thought there was like survival elements to

1:42:19

the LEGO one where it's not like a cozy game.

1:42:22

You don't have to play it in survival mode. Like the way

1:42:24

my kids play it is just free play. But

1:42:27

it's also, but so I'm not

1:42:29

saying there's already a cozy mode in there.

1:42:31

I'm saying I could see them looking at

1:42:33

that version of LEGO Fortnite existing and doubling

1:42:36

down on it. The way I would say

1:42:38

that LEGO Fortnite even in creative mode isn't

1:42:40

quite a cozy game. The

1:42:42

way maybe Dreamlight Valley or Animal Crossing

1:42:44

is it doesn't incentivize you to do

1:42:46

anything. It's literally just free play and Animal

1:42:48

Crossing and a lot of those cozy

1:42:50

games start to value start to value.

1:42:53

That's when your grandma gets by

1:42:55

the stage. Grandma. Those

1:43:06

reward and incentivize gameplay, you know,

1:43:08

the gameplay loops and I

1:43:10

mean, when I picture like a

1:43:12

cozy game, like Animal Crossing,

1:43:15

I imagine like cheapified versions of

1:43:17

the existing skins the same way they do

1:43:19

like the LEGO stuff. Yeah. Oh,

1:43:21

that would be adorable. Yeah. Cudified.

1:43:24

Love it. Christian, your final

1:43:26

bold prediction. Well,

1:43:29

this is why I'm a jerk and Lana's

1:43:31

a hero because my prediction is what

1:43:33

Lana said, just vaguer. My

1:43:38

prediction is just a new another

1:43:41

major mode slash

1:43:44

game. Like it's a game, but

1:43:46

it's within Fortnite. Another major

1:43:48

game comes to Fortnite proper. Solana

1:43:50

went for the specificity of making

1:43:52

it a cozy game. For

1:43:55

all I know, it's, you

1:43:57

know, a first person horror. But

1:44:03

I don't think they're done. Um,

1:44:05

the reason why they're not done. Well,

1:44:07

I think the reason why I put this

1:44:09

in bold territory is they just did three.

1:44:12

And I imagine a lot of this year

1:44:14

is going to be support of those three.

1:44:16

And I'm not, it would not count. Oh,

1:44:18

I should shut up. It would not count

1:44:21

if they add other modes to rocket racing.

1:44:23

It would not count if they added a

1:44:25

new mode to Lego Fortnite. This needs to

1:44:27

be a standalone thing made

1:44:29

by Epic. Doesn't count if they elevate,

1:44:32

you know, the game that Jeff makes

1:44:34

in creative mode and puts that doesn't

1:44:36

count. He's be another Epic made individually

1:44:39

launched from within the thing

1:44:41

of Fortnite here after they

1:44:43

just dropped three huge ones. I

1:44:46

love it. All

1:44:48

right. My final bold

1:44:51

prediction is

1:44:53

we get gameplay footage. What

1:44:56

does that mean? Anybody's

1:44:59

guess is to what that means. We

1:45:02

get in engine and

1:45:04

the war gameplay footage

1:45:06

from Bethesda's upcoming Indiana

1:45:09

Jones game in 2025

1:45:11

2024. But

1:45:14

it's slated. It doesn't come out in 2024 slated for 2025, but we

1:45:16

get, we get a tease. We

1:45:19

get to see what it looks like. I'll

1:45:22

have more to say about that later. Well,

1:45:27

ladies and gentlemen, later is now because

1:45:30

we have moved out of bold territory

1:45:33

and in to the flavor country. It's

1:45:35

time to make

1:45:37

this coffee crisp because

1:45:41

our coffee crispiest prediction.

1:45:47

Yes. No nougat,

1:45:50

just little Aerated

1:45:53

holes of deliciousness. I don't know how to

1:45:55

do that. This is resonant. This feels great.

1:46:00

Com progress with or

1:46:02

even the As. Regard.

1:46:04

Euro, rich or poor it's coffee

1:46:06

crisp existence that that. Edits

1:46:10

Released. Progress to

1:46:12

be out the topic or as

1:46:14

poor as or and by Sapphire

1:46:17

You know I'd suggest like bowl

1:46:19

games. Now you know the yeah

1:46:21

yeah. Aflac Field presents a Orange

1:46:23

Bowl presented from Capital One lie

1:46:25

from American Express at the Again.

1:46:29

We would love some sponsorships and

1:46:31

Ninety Nine and one. All.

1:46:34

Right when I get out there on that lamb

1:46:37

give us a coffee crisper. Oh right. So this

1:46:39

one a I feel like is out on a

1:46:41

limb. But. It is in fortnight

1:46:43

again but it is Nintendo and for

1:46:45

eight. Baby. Try and I

1:46:47

think. That Lego may be open the

1:46:50

door. Nintendo has a Lego. thanks for

1:46:52

nice has a legal thing I think

1:46:54

that for they've been trying Minnesota for

1:46:56

like that hasn't happened at think that

1:46:58

it has the possibility that happened but

1:47:00

Nintendo is intended so that's why. I

1:47:02

think or Angeles? Where was the quote

1:47:04

that somebody said about them in the

1:47:06

discussions of Nintendo? That he said. Something

1:47:10

along the lines of road describe

1:47:12

the the process of making diamonds.

1:47:14

merciless. That's how hard it's been

1:47:17

my that's definitely a cool ranch

1:47:19

coffee crisper. On

1:47:22

for. First and Spicer

1:47:24

said Oliver on the let's see

1:47:26

guys both kind of dance around

1:47:28

it a little bit and bold,

1:47:30

but I'm going to Koreans presented

1:47:33

by Coffee Crisp the next Nintendo

1:47:35

console. Is. Released.

1:47:38

And. We're still in my

1:47:40

prediction. I'm still cool ranch in coffee.

1:47:42

Chris being were still in it. Is.

1:47:45

Is Msrp. The. At

1:47:48

Three Ninety Nine. I

1:47:51

don't see that would be the price point I would

1:47:53

guess as well. I think is higher than they've

1:47:55

ever done either. I that's why I think that that's going

1:47:57

to be right. I think of yeah, I don't think it's

1:47:59

through Fourteen. I think it's 399. I agree.

1:48:01

I agree. I agree. I think

1:48:03

that's that is out. Well now I feel worse

1:48:05

about my prediction. Thanks, Jeff Releases

1:48:08

do you have a release window? Do you think

1:48:10

it's fall? If

1:48:12

I were to guess a release

1:48:14

window, I would guess it's late

1:48:16

summer early fall. It's summer. All

1:48:18

right All right, you

1:48:21

think it's helped I think it's

1:48:23

out I have

1:48:25

a cool ranch presented by coffee crisp Which

1:48:29

two related prediction

1:48:31

as well you ready for this? Metroid

1:48:36

Prime 4 Does

1:48:38

her not launch with the second

1:48:40

switch? It does

1:48:43

not like it misses the launch of it's

1:48:45

pushed and it does not launch It is

1:48:47

not a lot of you title. I thought

1:48:49

you were saying it never launches during the

1:48:52

lifespan of the switch Like

1:48:54

oh my god, I think what a long

1:48:56

perdition I agree with you christian

1:48:58

that switch to or whatever it's called launches this

1:49:00

year But I don't think

1:49:02

Metroid Prime 4 makes this year Yeah,

1:49:06

I I hope you're wrong Atlanta

1:49:13
