Episode 59: The Witcher

You know. One has a spinner smoking a cigarette, ready to talk to us. Apparently we work at the docks. Oh my gosh, you know. Just I'm deciding do we do take this from the top again or do we just keep going? Oh my gosh, this is what we assume people want. Yes, I mean, I've heard podcasts, right, this is what it is. I don't know, I don't know. There's three people talking. It's a podcast. Every every uberpool you've ever been in is a podcast. Every time I'm

on an airplane, what do you do? Every every time I'm in a room with someone and I'm just you know, talking, how many times, like since you're in l A. You're working all the time. How often you realize like, oh, I only talk to you and we have a podcast? Oh yeah, right now? When you pointed this, you guys know if podcast anyway, those voices are Keith, Keating Bay and from the New Players Joined podcast. If you couldn't tell I was stalling because I didn't know your last name,

It's fair. I could have asked before, but we just jumped in. I'm gonna be real with you. When you were on our show, before you showed up, I was like, okay, I have to look at a video clip real quick where somebody introduces Iffy because I am not going to

take a stab at this last name. What's funny is like when you think about like man one, like we often don't know our friend's last name because we refer to him just in the first name, and then if we do lots of times, we don't know how to pronounce it, especially if you got some days, Oh my gosh, how are you all doing doing good? How are you good good? You know? The way we like to start off the pod now is to ask about something you're geeking out about this week. So yeah, so if you

have something in mind. Why don't you tell me what's your geeking out about. I'll start to give you time, because I think I did just bring that on. I got took up your last name, like I gotta look, Danny's the one who keeps it on the rails, you know now that it's just iffy, It's it's like out of sorry. But but yeah, no, I'm I'm gosh, yeah, I'm still kind of freaking out about the footage that

came out. We were just talking about it for the Final Fantasy seven and you know, I and also I'm nerding out about the fact that you know, I'm starting to get the good you know, no no desk in any of the smaller devs, but like the bigger devs are sent to me appointments for E three and like, let me see that, and it's always like very sneaky. It's like, it's this game we already announced in two unannounced games. Yeah yeah, let me, let me, let me

add let me in there and playing it. What about y'all. I'll say that non game related, I'm geeking out a little bit over Barry on HBO, which shocked. It's a show that I was like I'm not gonna like this, so I'm feel good. I was like, I don't even know. They're sad comedy and I started watching, like this is the best show. Yeah, it's so good, so funny, so good to plays. No, ho, Hank is my new hero.

Oh yeah, that's actually a buddy of mine, Anthony carry. Yeah. Yeah, we met through we volunteer for this camp called comfort Zone Camp. It's a camp for kids who have like lost a parent or a loved one, teaching him good coping methods and you know, you get paired off with there's little buddies that get paired off with big buddies. And then I was he was like I acting. I was like a word, Yeah, he's he's super dope, dude. He's question Also, Victors is as from Gotham. He was,

that's who who he also plays. It's mostly just actors. Oh no, no, that's who Anthony played. So he was I'm sorry, I'm confused. So you're saying that these men aren't the character. Yeah, yeah, sorry, I have to break that. And also that this fellow you're talking about is not more than one person very lost about how Hollywood works. Game oh man, but yeah, no, I have to catch up on season to a barrier. I have been so good. It's so unbelievably funny and so well acted and so

well written to for video games. I'm still geeking out. I just finished Persona five for the third time. Man for the third I hear it's long, and I'm still finding new things, and I just like, still love the ending. If anybody out there hasn't played Persona five, get on that because it is amazing. I feel like all we do is promote that game. I feel like we promote that game way more than our podcast. But guys, go buy Persona five, subscribe to those Persona games. I'm playing

right now. I jumped in the Apex for the first time. I keep jumping into games when they're dying. Yeah, I keep doing this. I keep doing this thing where I'm like, like, Apex is a new thing. Everybody's going for Fortnite. I'm like, yeah, whatever, I don't want to do Battley ot Like basically, I was like I don't care, but then it's free and I jumped in. I'm like, oh, I get why this is fun. But I just read an article that was like, all their players are leaving because I'm not able to

update it fast enough for Pickle. I'm gonna call BS on that. Then that's it's sensational journalism. And I hate that they keep doing right because all it's doing is trying to promote that crunch lifestyle. So or not even a Respawn came out and made a firm stance of like, yes, our updates are going to take longer to come out so that our workers can have a regular nine to five. And Fortnite reports came out that they have been working like just almost twenty four hours because because of a pack.

So so I think you don't have to worry. All these articles are so dumb and it's and it just reminds you that gaming journalists don't even really have to be real journals right now. Real journalists don't have Yes, It's just it really does bug me when like, if you, if you're like me who constantly are watching like game stats, you're very aware of how much it fluctuates from time to time. And I don't think the game is dying

the same way people look Fortnite is dying. When Apex came out and now people are going to ford, the people get bored and it's a free game exactly, exactly. You have the benefit. It's not like if it was a full featured game that you paid for and you saw players leaving, it'd be scary. But this game that is free, people will just have it on their their computers and then when it gets updated, they're going to

check it out. Exactly the new seasons jump, but the other things that we're all talking about HBO and I'm watching it consistently. It's like, because now TV shows, it's just harder, right, you eventually get to them that sort of thing, Chernobyl. I'm legitimately watching every week it comes out. Everyone's saying, Chernobyl, good to check that. It's very scary. The whole thing is scary and depressing and dramatic. But the crazy thing about it, this happened, so just the

fact of watching it. I geek out on horrible nuclear disasters whenever, like three Mile Island, Chernobyl, Fukushima, Like I geek out on the actual like not the dragon Dragons e po and go to hell with that. I'm I'm locked into did real go down? I gotta know everything about fishing. Yeah, I will explain the meltdown at your novel to you whenever you Well, that's good. Well today we're talking about some real stuff, really speaking of dragons and go. This is a clean podcast, and that's the

first time I mean it and not a joke. You're gonna be bleeped out so much. But that's also dance jobs. So that's his problem. I'll try not. We'll forget this in two minutes. I grew up in a locker room. It's gonna be real hard from Boston, enough said. But yeah, so we're talking about the Witcher. Which when did y'all kind of get introduced to the Witcher? Because with me

it was Witcher three Witcher. The first time I saw the Witcher was a trailer of the first one, and it was when Gerald is chasing a werewolf basically over all these like houses and all these sorts of things. Remember showing it to my friend improv buddy Seawana Riley at the time, being like, have you seen this game? Do you know what this is? Basically? And it went away and it like was a game. They'm like, oh,

that's fascinating. And then two came out and I bought it on the PC, but my PC wasn't fast enough it wasn't good enough. Then I got to three. Three was my official like alright, like let's do this now. But a game that I'm like, oh, I don't have to know what's going on one. I don't have to know what's going on to I can just jump into three and enjoy it basically, And mine was to Keith playing the Witcher three and here's the thing, here's your thing. So every once in a while when Keith and I

we used to do this a lot more. When we would get bored, we would just like watch what the other one is playing for an hour, just like check it out, you know, because you just got to watch your friends if you're on the network. And one time I saw that he was playing what or three, and I was like, oh, I gotta check this game out. I've heard so many amazing things Before he gets to it, I'm playing what your three correctly, correctly correctly, so no

judgment here. I jump on and for like three minutes straight, Keith is just playing gwent this only trying to the card game. I don't see a single creature, not a storyline, not a character. It just keeps gutting two cards. And then this wolfman going would you like to play? And I'm like, is this the game? And I'm like, Jesse, I won string and you're like, well, I don't care one string. You're health Beast conqueror. You should be able to find string. It's everywhere. Okay, if you can ask you,

was this game too much? I need you now you play Monster Hunter? I need to play games out of inventory heavy. There's a lot to them. Were you like this is too much? Because of my time they started playing gwent to me. I was like, I have no idea what the is going for me? It for me, it wasn't too much. What it was was so I was playing, and I was playing on stream, and I was gonna just do normal mode because uh but everyone's like, no,

you gotta do hard mode. I didn't. I didn't realize that this game normal mode, yeah, no more normal mode is already bringing the heat. So I got I was playing hard mode and I just just got. I got to a point where you know how how oh man, maybe maybe three, three, four or five? Maybe ten? Do I played half the game? It was a blur. All I know is that I got to a point where you know how games auto auto save and if you're auto saving, you get into a death loop. Because that's

what happened. I went into this one point where they jump you and I'm having a hard enough time taking one on right. Well, no, not the bar, I get out. I'm doing missions, made missions, and there was one mission where I get called into a camp and then like we have a discussion, and the discussion ends in a fight.

So I'm surrounded and you got archers and do so like I'm like trying to like stop time and use imagine to be like, hey, everybody calmed down, and I just would just get walloped, get back, respawn, get beat up again. And I was like okay, and so I just put the game down. Yeah, I put the game down. I walked away from it for a couple of months. By the time I came back to the game, all the DLC came back. And for those who are not keeping up with which or three, it took a while

for the DLC to care. So that means I put down the game maybe for a year or two. This this game came on two and still stands a test of time, like this is an amazing game. Yeah, I think I got back to it at two thousand seventeen because every one was saying it was good. Felicia Day keeps nerding out about it, and I was like, okay, let me give it a shot, but let me just try it on normal because I think I told somebody like, yeah, I was doing it all hard and it was rough there,

like why did you do that? Yeah? It's literally like Dark Souls. It's all that. Dark Souls has the kindness of letting you know what kind of game it is. When you died appears, it's like, oh, okay, so they want me to go through this and struggle. What's your three? You die constantly in the game kind of goes you really suck at this kind of you kind of blue,

and you're like, it's me, It's my fault. So I I do it on normal mode and I get pretty far, and I was streaming it for a bit and it's so funny because streaming is so funny in the sense that you know, you're putting on a show, you're being yourself. And then there was two things I kept doing that made me take it off. There's two things that happened that made me take it off the stream. It was too many moments of me staring at my inventory. This

is a boring game to watch somebody play doing alchemy. Yeah, all right, and I'll make that because there's so much to this game. There was so much to this just your inventory is literally resident Evil. You'll have so much space where everything you have, and then you end up looking like a clown because you don't know the inventory, a beeping clown. Everybody. Um No, that's so fascin about this game because seriously, like there's so much inventory, it's

hard to play in general. And then there's like here's Gwent and Gwent. I know it's a joke, it's hilarious or whatever, but Gwent has now become its own things, its own game basically. But this game, like was highly addictive and it was very important to the game just even do question al. That's why I never played. I did the tutorial and I was like, oh, this is dangerous. This is gonna add a whole mother. The tutorial for Gwent has more rules than most full video games. Yes,

it's totally true. I got to the tutorial and I literally was like, Okay, I fault, and it's like but then this other deck and I was like, oh, there's more than one and then this, and I was like, okay, but but then as long as she's the three and then this card makes it, She's like I was a can't Pokemon card trader who happens to be the sexiest man on Earth and can't die. That's all I would

do in the game. That's what's so funny is when you really think of Gwent in the context of the game, it's wild because it'll be like, I need you to find my daughter. She's gone. Careful a round of exactly exactly put some money on it. It's so weird. This guy everybody is dying and he's playing Texas. Hold him. That's how the whole game, like like legitimately, Gwent is such an addicting fun experience. As you collect cards, there's different armies you build, like that whole sort of thing.

But also it's like just a side part of it. I love games like that. Because Final Fancy eight has a card game, it's like one of my favorite Phinal Fancy games. Um, that's the same thing. I can take a break from the game and take part in this. There's so much you the witcher that's fascinating. Like I try to explain to people and like it's like Game of Thrones but there's gargoyles and like like it's crazy.

It's like that's a really good comparison because I feel like Witchers are very similar to the Night's Watch ye in the sense of life. They are not supposed to put their hand in any of the politics, they're not supposed to care, and they're just supposed to collect money. You're supposed to be really callous, like you're supposed to be like, I'm a poor man, my daughter, good nut, my ghost, and you're like, you got money to pay, yeah, but I just don't. All right, now, you're one daughter poor.

I don't want to tell you, yeah, but to get into the thick of it, because we got deep and there's probably so many people listening, like I don't know anything and they trust us. By the end of it, you still want consider this You're thirteen hour tutorial and you still don't pay to this game sixty hours. I have no idea what it is, well at its base level.

The Witcher is an action role playing game developed by CD Project Red and published by Atari, based on the novel series The Witcher by Polish author uh Andreah Just cursing in a different language. None of us know it? I know, just do we just get this angry letter from the Polish signed all of us. The story takes place in medieval fantasy world and follows Geralta Rivia, one of a few traveling monster hunters who have supernatural powers

known as Witchers. The game system of moral choices as part of the storyline was noted for its time, delayed consequences, and lack of black and white morality. So let's talk about the story which So it's a fantasy series of short stories and novels about the protagonist Geralta Rivia and Sapowski's books Witchers are Witcher's, like Gerald, are monster hunters who, with training and body modification, developed supernatural abilities at a

young age to battle deadly bees. The books have been adapted into film, television series, video games, and graphic novel series. The series of novels is known as the Witcher Saga. The short stories and novels have been translated into numerous language, including English. Did not know that until I read this in English. Uh. The Witcher short stories by author Andre Sapowski were first published in Polish science fiction UH and

fantasy magazines Fantaskia. That's you know, I know, but also I like that there's like even Nerdier shown in Jump was like took out all the pictures and just had stories, you know. Uh. So the first short story was called Whitesman, which is the Witcher in six. So this is this is an old story and it was written for a contest held by the magazine. In one third place, I want I want andre to find who won fourth place? First place was like where's your video game? Wouldn't it

be great if it was like George RR. Martin, Yeah, I made Game of Thrones. Yeah, he's like, okay, cool. Number two right, that would be wild. It's like, yeah, number one, number number one. J R. R. Tolkien, Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah. He just resubmitted The Lord of the Rings. I don't know why they accept it. I mean that's all you guys at there. Your short stories could be great. We

don't know, I know. Um. The first four stories we're dealing with Geralta Rivio were originally featured in a nine nineties short story collection titled Widseman The Wincher, now out of print with Droga Z. All right, I'm gonna just say what it says in English, UH. The Road with No Retort uh, which is set in a world before the Wincher stories and features Geralt Mother to Be, So that that does that track for you at I followed this.

I heard you. I hear what you say. When you play the Witcher three, you're not going to think about any of this. I'm I'm kind of in that in that zone, you know, girlt really because there's so many different quests going on, so many different side stories, and so many different monsters you meet, like a Sucky Biss, and then you have to actually be an actor. Like

there's so many things going on. What's so funny is the fact that all three of us entered at the third means that we were even more out of the loop. Because by the way this the i'm a I'm gonna go scroll down to see when the first uh Witcher came out. So the first Witcher came out in UH three four? Yeah, you're you're very close. What was it on PS two PC PC? It looked like it looked like Fable. That's like the big feat and that sort of thing. It looked like a Fable game. That's the thing,

because like I wasn't playing PC. No, it's like if you miss PC, it's like it's just kind of over just games in general, right, if you miss a year a couple of years of PC with PlayStation the tend you just came out in two thousand and seven, so so so yeah, yeah so so, and then like the third game came out. So when you think about it, the first game two thousand and seven and then the third game dropped like two thousand and fourteen. Yeah, that's a long period of time of lore that we're just

jumping in on. The third way was like, let's go also and too they have different endings as well, and oh yeah, there's different endings. To me, I'm like, what is there? You can follow the general idea of the story. That's why I like went super nerdy and I went through the wiki to see what likes because like it. So for those who don't know, when you play three,

it does pick up from like one and two. So if you don't have the save file, they essentially or I think it just does it either way, because I imagine it's probably hard to that much time past carryover save file. But they ask you what you know, what you did in the other situations, and if I'm sure, like all three of us at this table, if you haven't played the first two, you're just guessing because they give you no context. They literally are like, did you

let this person live or die? That person is giving you a bath and your naked tell me your secret? Ye? But yeah, it has a fun way of questioning you in this game. Yeah, but like they gave zero context. They just gave you a name. It was like did they live or die? So like even you coming in at three, you're like, I'm just gonna roll the dice. But I mean it's Mass Effects. I mean, if somebody's like I wanna play Mass Effect two or three? Do you have to play one and be like, no, you

don't have to. Like you can literally jump into those games and understand what's going on. It's so interesting to me. Like Mass Effect was the one that came to my mind too, because it's notorious you're carrying over your save files and like giving you some information. It's like, that's why everybody was so mad about the ending for three was because none of the choices seem to matter at all. I mean I feel like they mattered, they just didn't matter. In the way people liked because I was one of

the first ones who was cool with an original. But I think there's like because I think when you play a character, especially when you make a character, it's a real sticking point for video game players if you don't get to live at the end. But it's like that is why the story is beautiful. Is like you have to give up yourself to save the union, and all these angry gamers just proved that they would not sacrifice. I gotta I gotta sec I want to be like

you get that's not you right. Other stories like oh, the whole universe has to die, well, I guess that whole universe has to die. Well. This is also a game again, like I brought up like it might have been too much, because I don't think it's too much. You never think it's too much. We play it now. You have to study each enemy and what their weaknesses. Like there's some enemies you can't kill them, and you literally have to go find the book going into it.

Like that you're saying with streaming people are like this is boring, and you're like, I don't know how to do the boss battle. Let's read all of this you could just see me swear at my TV screen for four hours auto save on a death loop, or we

could read a book. Guys, knowledge is important. Oh man, all right, let's break down some of these characters we've been saying names and once again, like we said, that's that's what's so funny about this is with stuff like this, you may leave this episode not really understanding what the heck is going on, but at the very least we hope to make you want to go pick the game again. It's like it's my first season of Game of Thrones. By the end of the first season, I had no

idea what anyone's no idea anyone? Sorry hockey for so long did you play on the Bruins? What are we doing? I realizing that we swear so much on our not mean we just swear a lot or not vulgar, no, but off the podcast very very very vulgar, mean, very genuine bad me. Well, that's what's so funny is that, you know, I feel like, out of the both of us, me and Danny, I have the worst potty mouth, like I you know, I go back to the real world because you know, when you're out here in comedy we're

all just bad people. And then you go back to the world, real world and held a conversation, and then you'll see someone's eyes perk up because you just made a combination of swears that normally don't go. I just blew this interview. Going to jail. Yeah, so I guess I won't be able to enter this Army's every Can I tell you something I don't know? My guts will be the judge of that. All right, Well, it actually seems like it's time for us to go to a

commercial break. But when we get back, we're gonna break down these characters. I hope you're having a good time. We are here too. Um did that sentence make sense? Find out after these messages? All right, and we're back from our bray. It's totally made sense, totally it makes sense. Well, see if you heard it here back with the new player has joined folks, and we're talking about the Whisher.

Uh So, first we're gonna break down the name we've been saying the most which is girl, which, like even I feel like if you're in the nerd world and you even never played the game, maybe never even heard of it, but you're a nerd you definitely seen a hot cosplay. You've seen Superman with the wig on. You know what it looks like. You've seen this guy, gray fox, long hair, gorgeous man with the scar cut up. Is basically a cat if it was turned into a human.

It's literally what I got one for you do it? Medieval solid snake. Yeah, that's Girls medieval and how he acts has the Batman voice like Baldwin voice, will our Net voice. So Girls is the central character. Uh, and

he is a witcher. Shortly after being born, Girl's mother, Vicina, gave him away to undergo training and eventually become a witcher at care more hint the stronghold of the Wolf School of Witchers, which if this doesn't go into it, I will say now there are many different school of Witchers. There's the School of the Snake, and there's like one more other school one if you haven't figured out. Nothing is simple, and but also like getting to see the

other schools involved and it's really cool. Yeah, that's super cool. Yeah, you nailed it. That and nailed it. I nailed it. The Stronghold of the Wolf School of Richard. Girl survived numerous mutations during the trial of the grasses, thanks to which he gained practically superhuman physical and mental abilities with minimal side effects. And it's so funny, literally ding he just meditates all day, he gets his vials or whatever

and go ahead sex with someone. He's say. He resisted the changes brought on by the trial of grass is better than most, which encouraged his makers to perform even more dangerous experiments at Oh wow, Wolverine really took them pretty good. Let's throw him into a vulcaneuh and this made him lose all his body pigmentation. So mine now my new headcan And his girl was black. He was black experiment to him, it's pretty good, will be able to convince me otherwise. Because of his pale skin and

white hair. He is known in elder speech as Gwinble. When Winbley listen, this is a clean podcast. Winbley the White Wolf, despite his name girlt does not come from Rivia, although he learned how to mimic a Rivian accent and is later nighted for service to the Queen of Rivia. Young Witchers were encouraged to make up Surtin names for themselves by Master Vessemir to make their names sound more trustworthy.

He wants claimed uh. He once claimed that his first choice was Geralt Roger Eric de Haut Bell Guard, but this was dismissed by vessemir as silly and pretentious. I love that, Like, you know, this game also implemented code switching. Essentially, this Garlt is like any child with immigrant parents. He's not actually gonna Yeah. So, after completing his Witcher training, he received his Wolf medallion, the symbol of Kremorn, and embarked into the world on his horse called Plotka, which

as the best name. I thought, literally, roach, I call this horse. I thought Witchers like all didn't have emotions. Is he the only one that has zero emotions in this game? Well, they literally kept poisoning him. He just doesn't smile. They took a happy, young black boy and they made him white, and then they started calling him the white Wolf and they were like, deal with that, and He's like, yeah, exactly, don't like this. Take it out. I feel like our head canon is making it make

more sense. I'm starting to put the trauma behind Yeah, yeah exactly, but yeah, I mean he I feel like, yeah, he definitely is stoic. He is essentially for the most part, John Wick, but he does smile before every sex option in the games. There are so many, but we can we talk about that. We're gonna get to that. Okay, cool, okay, okay, cool, We'll get to the bus. When you see the herbalist

for the first time, come on, come on, come on. Yeah, that was literally walk into a hut with a when bending over and it's like she's wearing yoga pants in the medieval times, like yoga. Developer lost what went down that project? Fred was like, well, we gotta sneak this in. It's subtle as all hell. And in our show, we have a segment called can you gets his name of VideA based so somebod doesn't play video games suscribes the video game to us where Jesse's girlfriend watch this video game.

We have somebody come in and gives them hints based off what she knows is in the game. And she said, the game with all the great butts, it was like the first was the first thing. Everybody's butt is the same. It's how she described it with your three and she was corr absolutely correct. Well, I'm gonna have to go

play against We really get it in. Even though girl did not believe in destiny, He unknowningly demanded the unborn child of Princess Pavetta and her husband Doooney as a reward for his services by invoking the law of surprise. The child turned out to be a girl, Siri, otherwise known as Zeri, coming from elder speech in the world word zero L meaning hello. At first did not take

her because women cannot become witchers. However, fate or blind chance caused Garralt and Sirie to cross the past thrice, and after the death of her grandmother, Queen Calath of Centria, Gerralt ends up taking the girl into his care, training and loving her as his own daughter. I just want to say, says swallow, way too much in this game, way too much voice. If you don't know the backstory of that name, it's it's like it is so confusing, because he says, it's so tenderly, and you're just like,

what's what's happened? He writes it on a sword for her. Following the short stories, the novel unfold as Garralt is pulled into a whirlwind of events and his attempt to protect Syrie from those who would do her harm, becoming reluctantly embroiled in the political contentions of monarchs and emperors. Uh. And then there's an analysis on Geralt, which I'm a skip because I think we already get of our now. Yeah, I think we figured plays cards and smashes, that's all.

Uh So then we have Unifer, who this is info that let's see, there's just so much info trying to explain Lore is so deep and you need surface level to really appreciate the game, and then the deeper you go, there's He's like, Okay, now I love it. Like the game to me is like my daughter's missing. I'm trying to find her. Like that's the easiest way I can explain it to anyone, Like there's all the backstory I could explain to you. It does not matter. It's a

man looking for his dog. It'll enrich it. But if you start there, it's still awesome because because it's Unifer born on Belloteen and everyone's gorgeous. Everyone's going, okay, wait, I because I need to touch on this before we go on. No, the main characters in the named characters, okay, everybody, every NPC in this game, okay, is hideous, missing teeth, every single man l n PC looks like they are disguising a horrible haircut by wearing a wig of a

worse haircut. They are god awful ugly. It is so funny. They have bowl cuts that extend an inch past their scalp. I don't know how it works. It is amazing how ugly these men. Anyone who's not an NPC, so we have I had to get that. The sources who lived in Verneberg, the capital of there's given me all these city names. Again it's Game of Thrones and like, don't know,

it's just words. She was girl to Rivius true love and mother figured a Siri whom she viewed like a daughter, to the point that she did everything she could to

rescue the girl and keep her from harm. She helped advise King Demvin of Adn, though never was a formal royal advisor, a close friend of Tris Mary Gold, and the youngest member of the Supreme Council of Sorcerers within the Brotherhood of Sorcerers after its fault, the Lodge of Sorceress has attempted to recruit her, but they didn't see eye to eye, as the Lodge wanted to advance their

own political agenda. By using Sirie. In the third game, Unifer is one of the main characters, as voiced by Denisco. Her face was originally intended to be based on a three D scan of Polish model Claudio Roble. However, after initial in game test, the developers decided to reshape the face in order to give Unifer a colder and meaner look.

Her first appearance is in the opening cinematic, when she is escaping from a battle between the NILF, Guardian and Northern Forces, probably one of the best cut scenes I've seen on place. Having recovered most of her memory, she has agreed to serve the Emperor Emeror's interests in the hunt for Syrie. There's also free DLC, which gives Unifer an alternate outfit. I don't different favorite thing that every game does. And I was like, would you like a

different outfit? And everyone's like, oh, I don't, yeah, give it some there's a reason they do it. So so who did you? So this is one of the like two main romance game. So did you go with Jennifer? Did you go the other Tris or Jennifer? Because you you see Jennifer first, but then Tris is the is the only time he actually gets a probably hook up. Yeah yeah, because well the thing is this, you see Unifer, you get all that romance and then she dips and then Tris pops up. It really is like a test

of loyalty. She she ditches, but she doesn't. Just the backstory of this is that girlt Head or Gerald I never airis aries whatever. Um loses his memory when he's with Jennifer and then finds Tris and forgetting that Jennifer exists because there was like some charm put over him. He hooks up with Tris and then when the charmers lifted, he's like, oh no, I hooked up with the major first, I forget what her name is. No, no, no, there's another one. She's Lawn and she's in the woods, and

you go with her and you fight the first boss. Essentially, you go into the dungeon with her. You can like hook up with her if you keep talking. Comes blund No Trump does come later. Yeah, yeah, the blonde, that's the one that I ended up romancing. But then I went back to universe like forgive me, and also the that that that boodro of all those women also forgive all of them. I am such a corn ball when it comes to game, when it's romancing, I stay, I stay the course. Oh my god, I didn't go to

any of the brothels. You were like tempting me, and I was like, if this is a video, I'm talking about this all the time. When I played Person of five, I did one person and only one person until you realize you need to be doing all those people until I wanted the achievement. So I did you get an achievement in the game. If the game will tell me, good job, you're a good boy. Yeah, everybody you know me. I'm so direct on myself as if I romance Ione in the game, I do not. I feel guilty. Okay,

this game too, the sex. This is the first video game I've played where they're like change positions. Here's them have like you see everything there. You see boobs for the first time, like they don't. There's no worry. I want to for the first time. That's when I saw boobs for the from Grand Theft Out. There's no warring. If you think of how far we come from, like

Jesus christlf yourself. Uh, that's just an unfortunate pun. But if you think of how far we've come from, like when there was that hot coffee just mod you can get in g t a San Andreas such a controversy and to like and then too like we are literally part of the game is banging. Yeah, it's not part of it, A big part of If you ask people what this game is about, there like, oh, yeah, that's silver Fox. He smashes and then he cuts that. He's

either smashing or he's got a stort out whatever. As the time goes on, you can grow a beard, your hair gets longer, you can trim all that stuff up, how you can want to look in all this sort of things, like, there's so much to this game. So yeah that was but but so Univer was my I mean you, I will always fall for the thick Goth bank. I will never be able to resist that ever in

any circumstances. Any any woman character that shows up in a game, and it's just like, Hey, I'm gonna call you in your crap and I'm gonna piece I'm like, I love you, like are uh So. Then we have Siri, who is the child figure who we've been chasing across the world, whose whole name is ciially a Fiona Ellen Rhiannon. What can what can I possibly say about her? Oh? This is like this is like from the game, Like this is this is the the the text about Yeah. Yeah,

that we call her Sirie for short. That she was born in twelve fifty one, That she has ashen hair and a scar on her cheek. All true. And that's the Ceilia I know best, one I first laid eyes on those many years ago, the one who seemed thoroughly well, not ordinary, but certainly not as extraordinary as she in fact is. For Cerelia is also a highly skilled witcher, heiress to several thrones, the last bearer of the Elder Blood, a powerful source endowed with exceptional magic talent, and the

lady of time and space. Her hair, color, and date and birth seem rather rather incidental, now, don't they. I could all tell you that she has Gerralt's adopted daughter, but that would be a gross simplification. Series much more, she is his destiny, his unexpected child, someone bound to the witcherd by fate's most inextricably tangled fetters. Following age old Witcher tradition, garral took Siri to care more when she came into his care there, he investedmir taught her

the ways of the professional monster slayer. It was then that her magic talents were first revealed and they discovered she was a source. Uh series gift proved a curse as well. Because of it, she would one day have to hide from the entire world, even growled its vestair is really the point of the whole game, Child drink beer with an old uh No. Siri is like the whole point of the game. It's like the whole secret thing you all leave us girl, But really it's like

Series are ways stronger. She's way more powerful, She's way more fun to play as. Basically, it's like you have a souped up version of girl. You know what it is. You play as Wolverine, but she's Phoenix. Yeah oh yeah, where like even in the moment like she has the mental freak out where her power really shows you, like, oh my god. And that's the crazy thing is that

that spacetime is a very big thing. She can travel through time, and that's why everyone's wondering if she's going to make an appearance in cyberpunk real like not even like a solid like one, but maybe an easter. And I think that would be super cool. Like even if she's like in the background, like I would be dope. Just just like tending bar somewhere, you just order a drink from her once, that would be so and you

just never see her again. Just based off of Witch or three, I am so excited for so that Cyberpunks because now we're like that, like that is my I love it. Yeah, like the fact it's like you get to make Blade Runner now with technology advancements and you get to do with the depth that you have with The Witcher, like I am so, I am so excited. I mean, if you've played The Witch or three, you know why it's taking so long. There's gonna be so

much augmentation and all that. The driving looks really good too, which I was. I was very curious about that because you know, open world in like a fantasy medieval setting is very much different than like open world in a more uh you know, if you crash into things, well you can crash into things. And also there's a lot more traffic, like horse traffic. I mean that's just a field guy's fun fact about l a back in the eight hundreds to get from horseback from Santa Monica. To

here during four PM. It was everywhere gosh, and don't get me started on the small which stink clouds from the uh So the last character will discuss before really diving into this game. Uh Is Tris Marigold. Tris Marigold of Maribor was the legendary to marry and sorceress of the thirteenth century. Called of the Hill by her contemporaries because she was erroneously thought to have been killed during

the Battle of Sotton Hill. She passed into history as Marigold the Fearless, a member of King full Test Royal Council along with Furkhart and Kira Metz. Kira Mets is the one that you bank. Yeah, Kira mets It is so funny to interject in all of this like deep, deep lore that is written very well and at times very beautifully, to be like, oh, that's the one that you banks. I could remembers uh as well. As a founding member of the Lodge of Sorceresses, she was involved

in politics for most of her life. She's friends with Jennifer and which are withdrawal to Riba, but also unhappily in love with the latter man. Tris took care of Syria caremorn for some time. It is like an older sister to her. It was through her intervention that Siria was not subjejected to harmful hormone changes at hormone changes and Karen Morhan stripping her of her secondary gender traits.

She was a skilled healer and carried with her many magical potions, but she never uses them on herself because ironically, she was allergic to potions. She was also quite a powerful maid, certainly when it counted to most. She a wore an ambulance sapphire overlaid with silver. That that just sentences always allergic to potions, Like no, that's like being like I'm allergic to juice. Yeah, exactly what what is it? What? What? You hiped her up pretty hard and that's how you ended.

But she doesn't sample her own good. It's just it's a chef going, I can't eat food. She gets science infections a lot. But yeah, Tris is great because she's part of this like extremely big love triangle that you get in. And what sucks for anyone who's like me. I was already so committed to Unifer that by the time I met Tris I was like, hey, hey, dude, Hey, what's going on with what's up? My gud tap hugs the tap hugs. You wanna do you want to hang out in a group? Oh? Man, I love that you

are like a sister to me. But everybody I thought that too. But then they're like, you can't have kids. I'm like, I can't have kids like you to do it. I don't know that there's something that there's anything you can say in that voice that doesn't sound awesome, that doesn't sound it doesn't sound awesome. I bought some scratch tickets yesterday. Oh my god, I thought I was allowed to park at this cost. Hey, I need some more pills from my aerial belt. Yeah, I don't think that

was kind of kick ass. Still, you're taking care of it, man, sound irritable as hell. All right, So we have to take another break. And in this break, we are, After this break, we are, we're we have a huge feet ahead of us because we are going to dive into explaining one, two, and three and uh, you know, kind of given our last thoughts before wrapping up and talking about this this show that's coming out with Henry cavill As. It's clearly Superman with a wig on. It's clearly super Me.

The week is not gonna be good. I mean working at the casting and it's really not go Just everyone is all the the like I just look at the side by side of Unifer and Syrie and they're both just too young. Guys. I just I just found the one sentence he can say that doesn't sound cool. I'm going to be played by Henry Cavill. Yeah, oh man. But we'll get into all of that after these messages.

Oh all right, and welcome back. You listen to Nerdificent, So I meant to say X a new player has joined, you know, like you remember street Fighter X tech and uh, we're gonna lose. We'll see. I'm weakened by all these Lacroix. Are you allergic to your potions? It's those those MMO missions that you get that you keep forgetting to read, where you're like, use this item to weaken the innimator, like why is this guy beating me up up? And why is this thing in my bag that won't go?

Oh my gosh, but yeah, so um so yeah. Which one came out. It came out to mostly positive reviews, like on Metacritic, it has eighty one out of a hundred. Uh, and it's you know, it's kind of kicked the whole thing off, and it really had the Aurora engine rocket in it, and it was it kind of worked exactly as the developers envision and rather using a tile based system. Um, all right, so which one? What's real fun is we've kept making the mass effect. Uh comparison, So what's your

one used BioWare's proprietary Aurora engine. Yeah, so uh's in the console version ended up not being released until two thousand nine. Yeah, yeah, yeah, so it came out in two thousand and seven. Uh, you were able to get it on console on two thousand and nine. And I'm sure that kind of came with Like I don't want to say no fanfare. I'm just saying I didn't hear about it, and this game is definitely something I would

have been into. That's usually the opposite, like most comes happens. So, but it was you know, it's just like we're saying, it followed Gerrault. Uh, and it talked and it follows him where he you can go to down three different paths. That affects the game storyline and it's with alliance with the Societail Gorilla Gorilla freedom fighting group of elves and other non humans, and alliance with the Order of the Flaming Rose, whose Night protect the country of Tameria, or

an alliance with neither group to maintain Witcher neutrality. And uh, and that's kind of what you went down. Just another one of those choices that kind of, uh, kind of determine your whole story. And what's cool is like, you know the big war that's actually happening in three is that marry and war. Yeah, And what what's funny about it is they really want you to keep this neutral stance. But the Nylph Guardians are so just obviously evil. They're

all wearing black. It's like Vampire's a little bit because I was like, I will try and be neutral, and then you got this dude talking smack to me or I was like, I can't wait to kill you, like I'm going And that's the number one thing. That's why like any video game that's like open world, you can do what you want. It's like, don't talk spicy to me, like I will kill you every time. He's a very

impressive homeless man. He goes everywhere, talks to you in detail, and then after it's like he's like your piece, bleep me out everybody. He's like, Garrel's like your terrible man, You're this, you're that, And he's like, okay, do you have any money? That No matter what, I don't care what we have to say. It's very hard to emotionally hurt. But so then what your two comes out The Assassin of Kings and the gameplay of which you're too kind

of uh splits a bit. Combat is more complex uh and it has additions in the form of abilities to lay traps and aim and throw range weapons, and Garalt has an improved offensive and defensive arsenal with a wild range of melee and ranged weapons, armors, bombs, traps, and secondary wedge weapons such as hatchets and shovels. Upgrades are

divided into four distinct paths. An initial training path, which includes generalized upgrades for various core abilities and must be invested in before other paths can be access swordsmanships, which improve garlt sword fighting abilities, Alchemy, which includes perks such as reducing the negativeffects of potion, magic which improved whicher signs. UH which by three is insane, Like, yeah, the the tree alone in which are three is so intense, and it's so funny because I just kept it simple. I

just boosted attack and just didn't worry about potions. If you get overwhelmed, it's so hard to build a character effectively without planning for hours. Also, in this game has uh there's a system in the which are called toxicity, So every time you take a potion, it poisons you essentially, so you unless you're boosting that up so that you're getting less toxicity, like, it's never really worth it for me.

But like you were saying, there's some bosses where you have to take specific potions, so you're like, I guess I'll work on the alchemy tree a bit, and then your weapons become dulled very Everything is constantly like updating, getting new weapons, getting new gear, and then realizing like, oh, I'm doing a bad job at collecting gear because there's so much going on. You can go have people build

special gear for you. There's so much oh my gosh. Yeah, and there's a whole like quest chains you can go down to get more armor, but everything also is expensive, and then you're wondering how you're gonna make money, and then you're like, oh, the main way for you to gain income in this game is doing these witcher missions and then you're doing this whole other side thing. It's it's a hustle. It feels like real life and that you're just like, oh man, I'm working so much just

to eat. Right now, you have two swords. You have to switch back and forth without even knowing you have to switch back and forth. That was the only mechanic that was like the crux of this game. I'd be like, that's awesome. It's challenging and it's thoughtful. That's the first thing that happens, and then the rest of the game so much more. And just so just so you know, you you mentioned this earlier. Uh, so I want to point it out. Is uh the game said that it Uh.

It's been said that the game drew influences which are two from Demon Souls, which was the first iteration of Dark Souls, Heavy Rain, and Batman Argument Asylum. And I feel that every bit of this is a detective game. Like when you're a witcher, it's like you're putting the game on pause to now go discover a monster or what have you, and you might even not even kill the monster. You might not even just like go about

your way. But Son should be twelve hours long. Jason Jay That character ended up in Red Dead Redemption to hal In like Gavin, I forget it's Gavin, but it's fine. Those guys are all over. So now we have Witcher three the Wild Hunt, and I feel like what made it such a hit even to people who are new to the Witcher is it had a lot of fantasy elements that are familiar because the Wild Hunt are chasing series because they want to use your power, and the

Wild Hunt feel like the Nasol. They feel like they essentially are the Nasol. Like I was like, oh, we're killing the Nasul. And it was cool because they will pull up to a place decimated and like their big like bad guy. Cool thing is that it would be cold, ye like it's just it's just the night, and so they pull up and everything would be covered in snow and it was like really cool and creepy. And those

dogs were the worst. Finding them was a pain, but like all the story elements of it was really great.

They were very imposing, Like just just to see them visually is incredibly imposing and then their strength and power throughout the game is Yeah, and there's like little little tidbits of like when they were kind of like building it out because like I guess, with the first play through, uh, it indicated that uh that the open world, despite its content in generation around the quest, seemed empty, and as a solution they added like points of interest to kind

of help you get to places. And originally the game had five thousand bugs and that's why it had to be postponed. I it sounds like a player of known battlegrounds. Look, I love you, pub but too good to pass up. Um, there's it's so massive that would be it would be almost impossible to imagine this without that much. And yet again the game director Conrad to Thomas Hewitz and senior game design uh Damian Monier cited dark Souls and demon souls as influences on the combats. Felt like Yeah, I

was like, man, it really did. Like there's a lot of rolling and harry and you would think, you know, leveling up would make things not hurt as much. No, you're still getting the smack smack. This is the only game I know of where like the soldiers that are around can just kick the che they can just kill you. They can just kill you, kill you, but they can kill you. Yeah. That's the thing. In most games, you

can just bully like anyone. Yeah, but in this game, they're like what you can just push you down and you're done. Like I remember when I first tried to do do the play through, and so you do this mission for Nelf Guardian and he's like and you find like it's it's crazy because like it's such a good storytelling element and like it's when you have to kill

the Griffin. When you first meet him, he's like telling like girl that the Guardians are actually good and the the there's like a farmer of their newly taken over territory who's like, oh, sorry, I don't have anything. He's like it's fine, you can come back. You know, just you need time and you know you need to eat and we need to eat. We're here to take care of you. And then by the time you're done with the mission, you come back and he's like that same

farmers there and he's like what is this? This is rotty. He was like, I'm sorry, I can't he was like, no, you gotta get lashes boy, Like he totally flips. You get to see that wild and like Gralt kind of like, oh, the nice guy act is up and he's like and

then he says some disrespectful stuff. So initially because in the way I work in most of these games, I slashed him, uh and not only did the slash not kill him, but now I'm in enough Guardian territory and there's like soldiers ready to ready to just take me out. It's this game is adult Skyrim. It's like, what is Skyrim. It's little little child, Yeah, but this is Skyrim with consequences,

and like, actually this is Skyrim with death. That's that is the funny thing because like, yeah, in the game with Skyrom, there's a point where you can go and slaughter a whole town and no one can do anything. But this one is like, oh no. It's because it's almost like that balance of almost like something I noticed with john Wick. John Wick is the best assassin Barnett. You don't know, no one can stop him, no one can beat them, but they can. They just don't catch them.

They don't quite get there, but they there are moments where it's like, oh, they're about to kill him. And then he just barely pulls out. And that's I think what makes John Wicks so interesting. It is like about this like overpowered person, but they give the moments you're still human. Yeah, it really shows, like especially um, you

know not. I don't want to get into specifics of three, but like there's points in there where you're like, it looks like you ain't gonna with yeah, but like and then he does, and so I feel like that is the experience in which it were. It's like, yeah, you're the main story character of the story. Yeah, you're strong, but anyone can take you on because everyone has swords. Yeah, exactly, you're a man with two swords. You are twenty men with one. Like what is your strategy to beat the game?

Because your strategy might be a terrible strategy. You might not even realize that that sort of thing. And like going up the skills tree fighting the first boss, these Nazia Gold dudes, basically like it's impossible to kill them if you're not even good at the game. Initially, like you can't. It's not Kingdom Hearts. You're not gonna slash them slash slash until you get there. It's like you

have to figure out your timing. Then you have to figure out which potions you want to use, what magic skills you want to use, what actual mexicals you want to build up. I did Igney all the way because I wanted to go slap anyone who's around me in the area. You get set on fire, and I delay you for at least one or two seconds and then I can attack you. It's clutch, But you don't realize how much you need something like that in this game because it's so it's hard to heal yourself if you

don't have potions. You're constantly eating food and even even trying to understand the inventory system of how to heal yourself mid game and do all those sorts of things because it's up arrow and down arrow on analog on your controller. So I was playing on mass and keyboard.

This is this keeps happening to me at the games, and I miss PC gaming so much of how many games I've played, and I'm like, oh, I'm not good at this because I don't have a PC like Fortnite or well, that's what's so funny, is my friend said.

Because this was before I joined the Master Race. Um, we played dragon Age and looking at someone on I remember I was looking up a video and looking at how people on PC played dragon Age was a whole different because it was literally like a turn based thing where they go, stop, we're doing this, we're doing this, We're doing I was like, we're not doing that with the controller option. Yeah, we just got the option to do that. But PC is like, no, I'm gonna do

this spell on the plan that the inquisition. They were like, you can do both, and everybody on PC was stopping, and everybody on console was going, yeah, it was crazy. It's nuts. So everybody get those ten thousand dollars by

yourself a PC computer. You can you can make a budget boy, but yeah, if you want to be playing on the best settings looking at because it really is like every time I'll see like I'll be like, man, because I have, you know, this big PC, you know with the Corsair car by case Corsair of course they're cooler, you know, you know for Corsair r GB ramsticks. I'm sponsored, yea, the sponsor, but they but like I'll be like, man, is it worth it? And then like I'll play a

game and it just looks so good. Oh, yeah. Yeah, Like now I get why they say master right yeah. Oh man, but yeah that's pretty much three. You know, I think it's still worth picking up. It's even and you can probably find it for really cheap right now. Yeah, I think I got it for likes. Yeah, and the DLC is free. Yeah, it came with both the dalcs attacked.

It's free. And again, guys, I'd argue this is up definitely up there with God of War five, Spider Man this, and this came out right when PlayStation four came out,

so this game stands at test of time in my opinion. Also, if you just want to jump into a game, jump into a world and be like I just want to I'm having a bad week, I'm having a bad month, I'm going through a breakup, jump into the winch even like I feel like, you know, no matter how you felt about how it ended, if you like watch Game of Thrones, I was like, I want experience like you truly does like mirror that type of world, just with

the conflict between the Note Guardians and the Tamarians, and you can choose whatever side you want or stay completely neutral like you have every It's just just the freedom within that because that alone changes the course of so much. I mean, this game has a few different endings and they're all they're all really well written and like your choices matter at the at the end of the day.

You know, you play so many games they're like, we have multiple endings and you feel like, yeah, but they're all kind of basically the same, and there's not really a huge difference in this game. It's like the variation at the end is very notable, and it is emotionally impactful. It's great, it's so well produced. The whole thing just works. Yeah. I mean, and if you've already played this and you're like wondering something, another kind of story experience that does

that pretty well. Dishonored. I don't know if you've played Dishonored. I played I think I came in at one. I haven't played two yet, but one really like your choices matter because because if you decide, because you have the option to kill people or do it without killing, and that does change how you're ending, like goes. So it's like very it's so I'm a hero. You murder. Yeah,

it's pretty much that. It's like you murder, you just murder because essentially and it really does because of that, It really does like kind of like play that part that games don't ever play with, which is the fact of like, Okay, if you're in a story situation where there has been a unfair removal of power, everyone below you is not responsible for that. They're just kind of falling in line. So everyone you kill is technically innocent.

To get to the person, the actual bad person, they're just going you know, they're just in the rank and file, foul rank and file, trying to yeah, just get their paycheck, and you're just murdering them because they're just doing their job and being like, hey, I have to tell the king that you're here because he doesn't want to die. Yeah, I forgot. In Dishonored, at the end of the game, you have to apologize to all these children at the end. Yeah,

depending on how many bosses you killed, there's an orphanage. Yeah, just like loads and listen, we joke about this, but who here played Snake Eater because one of the bosses is literally just you walk down a river of the dead, and if you kill nobody, you just walk down this river. And if you kill a lot of people, you have to avoid all these ghosts and they drain you of their health and they're trying to march at you and grad what yea why it's a it's a great game.

So so yeah, now that you know, there's the next thing up is that there's going to be the fantasy uh TV drama of the Witcher, created by Lord Schmidt, his rich for Netflix, and it's based on the book series, uh not necessarily the game, and uh you know, it's you know, there was one video picture that kind of leaked recently that looks pretty good. But what I'm seeing in this doc right here, it's just I don't know what it is. I think maybe it's just too bushy

of a beard, Like it looks very fake. He just looks fake. It just looks bad. They chose a wrong person to play the character, unless I'm wrong, unless he just kills it and they just did a bad job with makeup or costumes or whatever. But it's just hard

to do video game movies television. I mean, already this unifer and I feel like I am gonna be yeah, I'm going to be extremely biased because I was in love with and I still are still are, you know, I you know, talk about first video game crush, I was like in it, you know, I mean, if they're able to do the monsters really well, if they actually

developed a good story that we're all interested. That's the thing to me is do they touch the moral ambiguity or they just gonna go straight forward sex and moms

and which means I'm like, I don't care. I the reason I loved Game of Thrones for so long is because they had that gray area that I was like, this is interesting, this is complex, And that's what makes the Which Are Three such an interesting game to know that's that's gonna be very interesting because yeah, you're gonna have this guy who can't really step in it's against his code. So we'll see. But yeah, no, I'm super

excited either way, just to see it. You know, video game culture has gotten to this point we're finally getting to see movie. Well, you know, since we kind of wrapping up on the Witcher and there's not much we can say about the TV show because there's not much that really came out and we really got the game top to bottom. I have been asking myself, and I'm going to extend the question you if Detective Pikachu was

the first good video game movie. I haven't seen it yet, but I've heard great reviews are that it's Here's the thing. I don't think it's going to be like this movie is perfect. But I think, to me, like, this was a really good movie. We'll see I I enjoyed it. Yeah, So I'm wondering, is it the first good video it is? It is? No, it is. I've seen every Resident Evil movie I've seen. Mario Brothers wasn't that. It wasn't that bad. But if you just look at all of them, you're like,

these are bad movies. Let us not forget Assassin's Creating Sonics coming out, Assassin's Creed. Like you said, um, there's no video game World of Warcraft that came out. They all make money. They all make money. Yeah, but the critically, would you want to watch it over and over again? No, people watch Mayer Brothers because it's bad. Warcraft could have done it, but they rushed it because they wanted to

get to the cool stuff. And that's the problem that you know, I I keep saying, and I promise you actually do really like DC. I love the folks over there, but d C, that's where they misstepped into their uh, cinematic universes. They were trying to uh to the Justice League instead of doing the slow bird. If you would

have just did like your solid Superman Batman. Yeah, but we just really were You can tell they're gunning towards ay so like so in in the same because like the moment in Green Lantern when we started talking about Sinestro becoming a yellow Lander Lantern and I was like, do you understand how many years have built up it was to get to the Lantern war that you shoved into this movie. There was no way you hearing us Game of Throne season eight? Are you here? Are you

hearing us leave a water ball on? Do you think that's the problem? Not, it's not the problem. I mean that was, but that's that's what happens when you like you knew it. But but we all know what happened. When when you hear that these David Wisson company are getting Marvel money, they're like, yeah, no, we're done. Like

they probably weren't even in the office gone. They're like, y'all, sorry, I'm over here, like chopping it up with the russo don't they're calling them for like, hey, guys, can we get some notes on this No, they literally just buy burner phones and set up a voicemail acount where when you call it, you says no and then it hangs up on I take it back, Mortal Kombat, Greace video games ever made that note? There was one really good.

It was a TV show. It wasn't a movie, um and it was It was based on the Last of Us. I think it was called The Walking Down There you that was pretty good. Where can people find you?
