Hello and welcome to the weathering effect episode 46. In today's day is May 25th, 2020 or morial Day in the United States and I am does your Duds versus known to the rest of the interwebs and I'm Jimbo you may know me as Jimbo slice 23. So how's your week been? So If are duds. Yeah, Minecraft Wise. It's been absolutely abysmal. Hmm. I had finished Jedi Fallen order. So I'm back into playing some Minecraft that I've been working on an episode.
I'm about halfway through the episode now, but the struggles for Creative building is just massive right now. And it's not burn out because I want to play the game, I want to be active and stuff, but trying to make anything look good is Been a struggle for me. I'm not, it's not coming to mind as easy as it normally does. I had a live stream on Saturday where I built a cactus form that I think looks really good, but it's an idea I've had in my head for months, so that wasn't too
worried about that build. But I'm trying to build the storage house for my slime farm. And I mean, I can't think of anything that'll look correct by first idea which I thought was a brilliant idea. Does it really work for the Gail. Now if I wanted to build really big, it would probably work and look just fine and it wouldn't be a problem, but it's not really working out that well, so I don't know what I'm going to do.
I had another idea on stream about working on a different location on my Island. But when I started that, that wasn't working out too. Well, any either, I think part of the problem is, I'm my mind is on Ripple season 3 right now because I've got some really cool ideas that Don't work on there. Hmm. And so my mind's not where it should be and it's hurt me a little bit so I don't know. I'm not going to force anything.
I've always said my own Survival is kind of an off season project and I'm wasn't going to be forcing episodes out kind of like I do the other stuff and yeah from the first like nine or so weeks. I was on a weekly basis, putting videos out and for the last two weeks. We're not last two weeks, last two episodes kind of, it's one every two weeks that have been popping out but yeah, I don't know. I'm just going to kind of, I don't want to say chill out, but that's kind of it.
I don't want to overthink it. I don't want to stress myself out about it. I'm just going to play Minecraft and hopefully it turns out that I get some creative stuff flowing back again. So yeah. And speaking of Ripple 3, we did have a little release of our skins on our patreon announcement. Yeah. Get our new skin. They're pretty good. I'm still tweaking. I saw ya still not sure. I'm still not 100% sure. I guess I'll put something up in public after this gets posted.
It's basically the eyes. So yeah. I basically created These Eyes specifically for a joke and it feels a little off. So I don't know if I want to keep them, I've been messing with the eyes and stuff. I've got a couple different options but I'll wait to the episode post and then I'll post what I've been working with and I guess I'll let you guys decide which one looks better. Basically, the skin was designed so I could play with facial
expressions. So, okay, there's a little heads-up because Rupal season 3, it's going to be a lot different than what I've been used to recording. I shouldn't say a lot different. There's gonna be at least one or two segments in the episode, that's going to be completely different than what I'm used to doing. So I want to Able to have extreme flexibility in my ideas. Yeah. I just said so like five times in a row. I'm really sorry. We don't understand. But Ripple three won't be out
until this new update. And speaking of the new update, I have, what three days, what is it to you coronavirus? Yeah. Thursday. I needed to release before Thursday which you're listening to this Wednesday. I'm one day. Yeah I'm screwed. It's okay. I'll I'll start mining. I'll start mining diamonds when we get there. No big deal. Well here's the thing we're still on snapshots. I was thinking by now we'd at least be on pre real easy.
Yeah that's what I was thinking. I almost have a feeling there's only going to be like one or two pre-releases and the it's just going to release because I think they're going through so many bug fixes with every snapshot like the last couple snapshots have added a bunch of stuff but they've been mainly You look at this bug fixed list at the end of every snapshot that thing, and it's a long list they've been putting out, so maybe and
be too bad but the last couple of releases have been kind of buggy so I don't know. And what sucks is King be dogs. Told us when it was going to be released last time but we got interrupted. So I know, right? And I can't, I couldn't remember what he said. So yeah, we're in the same boat again, but it's whatever you're definitely not. Gonna win this one though. Yeah, I'm definitely out of it. Even, I like that was supposed to be trash talking, and then you look at the time and date.
And you're like, oh yeah. No, it's probably the truth this time. Yeah. Yeah. It's starting to get real. But this week, I went and finished my video for my PC upgrade. Finally. Yes, I am recording right now on a new pc and everything. Everything's running fine. Everything is running smooth. A couple issues is I have the windows Watermark at the bottom part of my screen, I have Windows. Yeah and it even said if you put new pieces in there it might not recognize it. Just click here.
If you recently got new parts and I click there and it led me down this. You know I need your email and password. This is not your email. Oh this is your email. We're going to send you a code. It did not come to my email. So I'm in that situation. Try to get my windows. A baited, so I can personalize it a little bit. Everything to sell the same bill. I am, I do not know, but besides that, I did a little Benchmark with it and I didn't get the
results. I was hoping for, I got really results with the rise in five, the rise in seven results weren't even as good as those when I initially, did that one. So, I don't know if there's, if I did something wrong, you'll see the video. It'll be up tomorrow. In my time right now. Well, it's Wednesday for you. It will be released yesterday. So, if you've seen that video, yeah, let me know for something I did wrong or maybe computer takes a few days to really get going.
Maybe I should Benchmark it now but that's I didn't get the best results with the Benchmark but I did I do want to mention it's a 11 and a half minute video, it took 17 minutes and 50 seconds to render it. So that's The only things I can think of is one for some reason, your RAM settings, because it's a rising CPU, they rely heavily on Fast Ram. You have fast RAM on there, but maybe the motherboard settings, dropped the speed back. That can cause something like
that. The new rise and chips. Do get a little hot, so I don't know if you were already thermal overloading it and I really doubt it, but that's always an option to, yeah, yeah, you be able to With the video. Yeah. Maybe your Risin five was already over clock from the get-go. Well, that's the thing. I overclocked it, I didn't overclock the seven but I don't, that's probably what. Yeah, I don't I don't have a like a beefy power supply to 600 bronze 80 plus power supply, which is good.
Great for the rise of five, I don't know if it's going to be able to push the rise in seven overclocked. So I just want to make sure I'm able to overclock before I do that. Don't want to Break anything now but besides the PC PCS running great, I even streamed. I did a little Apex. Legends go around. I was getting over 100 frame so that's that's what plus stream because I didn't get any notifications, you know, know I was recording. Sorry I was trying to record
something. See how it showed up and everything didn't stream yet. I will be streaming. I want to put this thing to the test. So, look out for that. I don't know when odds are. I might give you an hour. Notice Okay, that's all you're going to get about an hour Nest, but besides that, my wife wanted me to ask the audience for a name. For the puppy. We are getting a male, golden retriever puppy and we need a name and I was going to ask the audience, see what they can come up with.
She has two names picked out right now. It's Harley and Simba but she, she wants me to keep asking. We don't have the puppy yet. Yet. So trust as soon as we get it, I'll be posting pictures. But yeah if you guys can come up with some cool names throw them out there. I like to hear Gerald Gerald's one. I'll run that buyer probably not going to go too far. No, my new thing with dogs is just to give them old people names. Yeah. Gerald Works. My favorite dog. At the Greyhound Farm.
His name was Carl. Yeah. Like like no joke. Is the name was Carl and I could just yell. I'm Carl. You know, it's just fun to Dave. Yeah at man Carlos car got a bleep that this isn't the Half Stack. He can't be saying stuff. Oh, yeah. Sorry, Carl. Yeah, his name was at the end of that. Swear word. Not a bad one, by the way, but still, no, laughs now, who will ya? All right, so should we move on to the news? Yeah, it's all good. Awesome. So we had snapshot 20w 21.
A this one was kind of a big key. I say that. But it wasn't at the same time. New features added were the the ability to toggle Redstone wire between the cross in the die. If you guys remember last week, they mentioned that the Redstone dot was going away and now the cross was going to be the standard look. Seems like they've kind of changed that we'll talk about in a little bit more in a second. They've added the import export
World settings, functionality. Yay. I've missed that greatly and they've added a new disabled multiplayer. Command line option. When Use multiplayer button is disabled, not really sure what that's going to be added new disable chat command line option. When you use receiving and sending online, chat is disabled, I think that's already just like a setting in the game anyways because what I'm doing, time, lapses or recording something.
I don't want CH at te Papa home where I'll go and I'll disable chat anyways. So I need to know how to do that. Didn't know I could do that. Probably very useful for recording. Yeah, let's all right so let's go back to the Redstone toggle so the cross is going to power. Everything like down below it one block above it and the four sides. You Jesus, I think it's like six blocks and total that it's going
to power. And then the dot is only going to wrap our what it's on. I think I don't even know ya power, what's above it? I don't believe that might be something to look at though. But yeah, as far as I know, it's just powering the block at its blew it. Don't know why I keep saying above it. I don't think anything can power vertically like that so I don't know why I'm saying that just to torch it would pretty much replace a torch in that case. Yeah.
But I think it's a cool feature. I'd never think of them changing Redstone that way. I mean considering it's just for a DOT you can't. If you make a line you can't change that line to put a dot in the middle. You know, that line is going to be a line. You can only change the state of the Redstone as a dot. Yeah. In its entirety right now. I don't think it's a huge change.
I think it's a very cool change for what it can be and I'm thinking about repeaters in this way that so much that you can extend power signals, but whenever you have two Redstone lines near each other, that you don't want to interact. I normally throw a repeater down or something, right? Because that kind of gives the read some lines from Crossing now. Imagine if you had to read some lines near each other but you could talk Lit from doing the cross to maybe a straight connecting line now.
Yeah, so maybe instead of just a DOT and a cross, you now have a DOT across and then a line and then depending on which way you face it. That's the way the line would point. I don't know. It's a, it's an idea and itself. I don't think it's a huge difference. I don't think it's going to break anything. If anything, it helped a little bit but the greater Implement implications in the future. ER is what I'm excited for. Yeah, the original cross change would have broke a lot of things.
So the good news is because it's toggleable. It's not going to break, anything shouldn't break anything, but yeah, I don't mind the change but I, yeah, you have to play with it. Hmm. So, if we get into changes in a snapshot, we have penguins no longer walk around when admiring gold. If you heard a piggelin while it's on by admiring an Ingot Ingot, will now disappear? So no getting it back.
Increase the chances of ores to generate in the basalt Delta's to balance against reduce amount of Netherrack in this. Biome makes perfect sense. Yeah, lily. Pads are now considered junk fishing loot rather than treasure? Oh, thank the Lord. Yeah, right. And then updated logos for Mojang Studios and Minecraft. We have a little bit more on that later and then temporarily remove structure settings from flat level preset strings. I have no clue what that means,
but it sounds very important. So, hopefully people who understand that can let us know later. Yeah, I'm not too familiar with that either. I did get to see the new logo, though pretty neat. Kind of looks like Nintendo Wii a little bit. The only thing I've got to say about it is. It's a very round logo for a very blocky game company. Yeah. It's like pieces of round, cut out of it. I noticed that when you give it,
what news do you got? We have some custom Old news, we they added experimental support to new custom world's edit World screen. Now has an option to export World settings to a Json file, during World creation. You can improve, or you can import previously been exported World settings, a bunch of new parameters are exposed, but barked is experimental mean, you can play with them, but there is no guarantee that any of them will continue working even in
the next snapshot before. If a world can no longer be created from server properties, flat level settings changed a bit better support for custom World creation on a server is coming soon. That's good. Yeah, custom World creation is something I've really missed. So your first season on common craft it was the last season common craft and me and Bank when we had come up with the world, we had played on the Discworld before that. It was such a beautifully designed world.
The only problem, Was it was a beautifully design world, no one wanted to tear it apart. We ended up having a mine world that you would have to travel to if you just wanted to rip up tons of terrain. So if you needed a bunch of sand, the rule was you don't dig out Discworld. It was you go to spawn town and they'll be a portal and that will teleport. You should just uh, normally generated Minecraft world where we had all biomes really close. So you could go dicks and you get terracotta.
De you could chop down, trees. You could do all that stuff. Save the world. Yeah, so you're getting extra items but you still got to work for it, right? Yeah, you still got to work for it. That's the main thing that makes it little lunch ET, you know, as a fact that you gotta work for it still. That's an interesting idea. I thought about it. When we went to the next season of karma craft, the final one.
We wanted it to be more vanilla, not so much multiple worlds, because that did break every once in a while and it was a pain to So we ended up coming up with some figures. Well, it was mainly Bank playing with terrain generation because we wanted more natural-looking Mountains.
Instead of just sheer Cliff faces, all over the place and I think we did a really good job of coming up with some parameters that made everything look really nice and the fact that that got taken away for a little while it kind of stinks that love to be able to play with that again. Yeah I never really had to offer. Tunity to play with it. So, yeah. But see you played that last season common craft. Could you tell that it was a custom world and wasn't vanilla?
Well, now that I think about it, sorta, I mean the spawn town was custom created everything we change the procedurally generated code. So it's like hey when you're going to spawn, okay this mountain biome, we want the base of mountains instead of being at like why 65 it would be like a wide 60 or something. We create gradual slopes using Abner's and stuff. Okay. So yeah, it wasn't like an iced tea wine. Yeah, it might in my head, I see spawn town and it does look
nice. I always liked the way everything was made in spawn town. Just the terrain, you know, let alone the building. But yeah, I can actually now that picture. It, it does look a little different. Yes, he did nice too, because we were a public server. So I had found in the past with having like disk or old or playing on a standard Vanilla once people got the seed, they were just open it up in a normal world and go into spectator mode. Fly around, find all the
dungeons. Find all the diamonds and kind of write the codes. Der coordinates down and cheat mode it when they got into survival again. Well, when you change these parameters, yeah, you could have the seed but you try to put that in vanilla and it doesn't generate the same. And so yeah, there may be a dungeon at these coordinates on your world but on World. There may be like a hundred blocks in the opposite direction. That's good.
Yeah, so it was a good way to fight people who were just trying to hoard stuff for no reason. I never understood why they did that, but it was a nice little tool. I should say that we didn't have to worry about kind of always there. Yeah, yeah, definitely. But if you're done with your news, I have something from friend of the show can be dogs. I think we can say that. Now, great for any bigger, best friend for best friends, we're best friends.
Okay. A good wouldn't go that far, but if you want to say that, sure Jimbo you will let you do that. Hey, ding b-dawg. My good friend. All right. Good. Sorry. Okay. He retweeted a post saying, starting June 6, we are excited to present. Love weekends. A livestream series happening each weekend for the next few months. Watch your favorite creators play. Learn about issues facing our planet. Over at love, Tropics on
twitch.tv. So that'll be Interesting to look at. We don't really know what it's about but I'm gonna keep an eye on this and we'll keep you guys informed what it's about because it looks like it could be fun. Yeah and it mentions you know your favorite creators. So it's just curious that you know, who or how they're reaching out to to performing these streams and it says over at love Tropics on Twitch TV. Is that like a certain channel that streamers would chat you too.
Yeah I think it's Channel. Yeah so you probably wouldn't see it online. Like agree. And yeah, stream or anything. It Beyond The Love Tropic. Specifically, they would bring in streamers. Okay, we saw this tweet literally like five minutes before we started recording. Yeah, we don't know a ton about it but we wanted to make you guys aren't going to hear us for another week. So we wanted to release mention it for you guys can kind of keep an eye on that too.
You know what you read is all we know that's it. It's all we not too much. Wasn't too much more deliberate on. Yeah, but hearing all this stuff can be dogs. Does for charity and stuff it. Cool to see what this is going to be about. Yeah, definitely. Should we go ahead and jump into some listener comments? Yeah. All right. So this comments from Jamin, he
goes. We as talk about Pac-Man coming to Minecraft in the next episode, a video about it is on the official Mojang YouTube channel and we watch the video and we're going to talk about it. Yeah he's got some good. You got some? Yeah. Stuff to talk. About Jim yeah, there's three things I noted here three notes. Not just one. There are 10 levels available. Well, but you can have the option to make your own level. So, any Pac-Man level you want to make, you can go ahead and do
that. You can unlock new power-ups like laser or TNT. Not too sure what that's about. But it sounds cool lasers and TNT and the creeper is involved. Chasing you somehow. I saw a picture of theirs for the regular ghost from Pac-Man has like Inky, Blinky Pinky, and I lied. I think it is great names. And then in the back there's this green one. Looks like a creeper. So I don't know if he will be one of the five now or if he has a different ability.
I honestly, I don't know. I just watched the teaser trailer. It looks cool. It definitely looks like your standard Pac-Man game, but in a different kind of perspective. Mmm. And Everyone likes Pac-Man, right? So that's very Very cool of them. It's definitely a nice way to celebrate Pac-Man's. 40th anniversary, right at mowings 11th birthday. Yeah, never thought like it. Yeah.
And like I said, you could create your own level if you're tired of playing the 10 levels, they give you it is multiplayer. So you can play with a friend also, on the same level. So that's very cool is also just for Bedrock, right? Yeah. And she going to see Java, you can get it in the marketplace. It does cost like the bit. Winds for the B Minecraft coins in Minecraft going to. Yeah, I never knew a tester called then either didn't play
much better off. But yeah, you gotta have some Minecraft coins to purchase that and I know a lot of people want to talk more about the Bedrock version. We don't normally keep track of the Bedrock version because that's a version we don't play. But asking listener comments. Like that is a great way to get us to talk about it because we will see your comments and we will try to fit them in the
show. We don't know if anything big comes to bedrock unless a like larger YouTuber covers them that we personally know. So if we're missing stuff you want us to talk about, definitely jump in the Discord and just put it in the questions and suggestions section or if you don't want to join the Discord. If that's not your thing you can tweet us because we're always around our Twitter's and stuff too. Yeah just don't email me. I have a lot of unread emails.
Are you jumping on the Chris Pratt train of unread emails? I don't know what that is. I'm This started at train first crisp right? Just jumping on the Jimbo train. So what happened? I don't know. I think he had like something like sixty five thousand unread emails or something like that. Wow yeah he's got me beat but it is nice to hear everyone's comments on things that were not
familiar with. I mean we don't usually go out and look for Bedrock updates or whatever but if you let us know there's an update that you would like us to talk about. Yeah. By any means good but it did. Make sure when Bedrock was free for the Java place, we both made sure to pick it up. So if there's something we need to go and test out there, we have the ability to do it. Yeah. It's just it's not our first pick to play and if it's mainly Java update, that's what we're
going to try to focus. Yeah, talking about Discord. Let's go ahead and get to our Discord ad, which from yd y, t this week. Thanks yd. Hey everyone, I'm ytyt and I'm a member of the weather affect this world. It's a great. Place to hang out with fellow lister's like me and the people who work on the show strong today and let's discuss game. We love, there are links in the show notes. Alright, again, thank you. Why do you why do you for doing
the disc or Dad? We hope you guys kind of like that. If you want to make Discord has for us, just let us know, we'll hook you up with a script and everything. It's super easy and kind of fun. We like having you guys do that. Instead of us just kind of silly saying the same thing over and over again. Yeah, I did have a honest trailer review that kind of has a Discord at an air. We were thinking about using for Discord ads so you might hear that pop up, it's pretty funny.
I don't know if you guys heard Heard it yet. If you want a sneak peek of it, it's in the May Half Stack, which is on our patreon for free, so you can listen listen through it there. Yeah. So it's time for block of the week. It's starting to get aggressive and kidney week. It's getting a little crazy out there. I know man. I don't even know how close it was this week. It was so close.
People were bringing in reinforcements to help their block win which it was his really close but we do have a winner. Yeah. Yeah, so this week we guys are we guys were dying. We guys, we asked you guys to vote for either a Jack-o-Lantern Fletching table cake in the winner. This week is Cake. Congratulations cake. Kind of hoped cake would win. Yeah, it was in a neck-and-neck race with the Fletching table is understandable, flexitarian
could use adjustments. You guys might hear a little bit of clicking. I want to see how close the voting was this week. So jack-o'-lantern got four votes, Fletching table got 16, votes, and Cake got 17 votes. Oats. That's how close it was this week. Yeah. And I went on there just to be funny and voted for Jack O'Lantern because I don't get to vote, don't get to vote. And that was the only chance and not matter.
When it voted not change. Try to put last week, and I got called out for it. Can't thank you. They're all it there on the block away. It's a lot of fun, though. I suggest you guys get involved because it's it's pretty funny. We have some good times with the block of, we gonna have to get a hash tag team cake shirt now. Yeah, I'm team cake. Yeah. Me too. You know, I'm glad I have some things about the cake that I wrote down here, once it is placed. It cannot be picked back up.
Not even with silver. Yep, cake is, they're going to rot there, unless you eat it. It's crafted with three milk buckets. Three pieces of wheat to Two sugar and 1 egg, it can not be eaten out of your Hotbar. There are seven slices to cake which restored to hunger per slice, when connected to a comparator cake gives a signal strength of 14. That's each slice gives you 2 Redstone strength and this one was on there, too.
I thought was interesting, pandas move towards a dropped cake to pick it up and eat it. I just know that. Me neither. That's why I put it in there. Thought that was neat. I don't know if anyone's ever tried it. I've never seen it. Maybe I missed the the update on it or whatever, but never heard of it either. So curious to hear if anyone's ever tried that those pandas little cake Bandits. Yeah, they want your cake and eat it too.
Okay, so now is the time where we try to enhance the block. And honestly, all three of the blocks were hard to enhance. I know people. Were wanting the Fletching table because it doesn't have any abilities right now. So it kind of made sense for us to make some abilities for it. But honestly, that makes it even harder for us to come up with. Something that would enhance a block that already doesn't do
anything other than look pretty. So yeah that's why I was kind of glad cake one because cake does something and now we can actually improve on something that does something Fletching table, your kind of guessing what they're going to do. Hmm, obviously there's it's just Views to make arrows. Yeah, it's are now at differently. I think you're going to be able to make tipped arrows. A lot easier, learning table. That's yep.
That's what I figured. So you guys got a little bit of block of the week for the Fletching table, since it was such a close vote, but let's get on the cake. Mmkay don't have much for cake just to start. You know what? Yeah, let's let's do your improvement for cake. Well, I don't have an improvement but just an idea. I saw it thrown out in the Discord and that is a chocolate. That cake for you can have your
cake, add some cocoa beans. I don't know if there's another flavor out there, you can make cake from, but the cake is already so versatile. It has so many different ways. It could be used and it's so different to where I couldn't really come up with anything besides, you know, different different kinds of cake. Yeah, I mean, think about it, if you take the two sugar out and replace it with to cocoa, beans, maybe instead of a white top cake, it gives you a round top cake. Yeah.
Exactly, that's pretty cool. The one thing I off the top of head is the ability to pick it up with soap touch. I'd really like that. I think it would be very cool. If you set it down, you ate a couple slices and you picked it back up. Maybe the item icon changes kind of clock looking. So you can see the amount of pieces you've eaten in your Hotbar and allow you to eat it from your Hotbar. So you don't have to constantly put it down. To eat it.
Yeah there are maybe cakes. You know Debbie cakes can go in your pocket so it can be done. I think that would be right there. Great Improvement cake. You would make cake and actual food source or a reliable food source. Not a great food source but a reliable source. Yeah. My big Improvement I really want is so cakes. The one food you can physically place down, right? Yeah, to me the most Full potion in the game is a splash potion.
Okay, there might be some people who disagree because you don't get the full effect sometimes if you Splash in the wrong area, but the fact that you could have lingering and all that kind of stuff, it makes splash potions. So versatile. So I call that powerful when you have more versatility, it's
powerful. So my Improvement is, you can take a splash potion of anything, hit the cake with it when you set it down and Now that cake holds the properties of the potion, so if you don't want eight minutes of a potion, you hit the splash potion on the cake and maybe every bite you get just little Snippets of this potion. Maybe you only get like a minute Worth or whatever. But now, you have a minute worth for seven slices. Yeah, I like that. Could be cool.
Yeah, it just saturate into the cake, the potion. Hmm. Or maybe you can craft it with the potion inside of it. Something, not sure, but I'm going to use cake as a segue for Mojang Studios. 11th, birthday. Well, as should release a first birthday now because they've obviously changed and no longer just Mojang and we found out it is Mojang. So I've been saying it wrong for forever. Hmm. I need it. So they are there. They are Mojang studious and they came with a full-on remodel
of their logo and stuff. We talked about that. It's a little curvy for A Blocky game. Yeah. But they're doing a lot of different stuff now. Like they've got a full-on like movie coming, kind of like, Lego Movie, so that'll be interesting. See they're obviously branching off into different games. Our main topic this week is going to be dungeons. So you've got that to talk about, they got a lot of stuff happening so I'm excited to see it. I'm more excited.
The thing I'm most excited about is the fact that when you start Minecraft, the loading screen is No longer blaring white screen. It's going to be this softer red screen. Yeah, that's right. I got so over that. White screen. I've won a night when they first showed that white loading screen. I went, oh man. That is so clean and classic. It looks awesome. And then I realized I play in a dimly lit room so when I start the game it just burns my eye
sockets. Yeah. I'm in the same situation, it's Pretty dark down here, and it. Yeah. When I started up, I can't look at the screen because it is pretty white, uh-huh. But before we move on from cake, I want to ask you what your favorite cake is. Oh yeah. And this is where I'm going to disappoint you. Okay. I don't like cake. You don't like cake at all. Not really? What about the Little Debbie cakes. Hello, Deborah, Little, Debbie. Oh they're okay. It's the icing that comes on cakes.
I don't really like that much. Yeah. So like my favorite doughnut is an unglazed donut. Wow. That's strange. I don't like icing anything like that. So normally like when it comes to birthdays my birthday cake is usually a cookie cake or I go with a pie. I'm a huge key. Lime pie fan, I like cheesecake
which to me is more of a pie. It's not really a cake that that is my favorite cake cheesecake, but if you want to consider it a pie, Then I consider cheesecake up, I don't consider it a cake. Okay, well I think they just call it a cheesecake because if you call it a cheese pie, that sounds gross. That's a good point. I mean, it's in it's in the pie pan. It's got the crust, no icing. Yeah, it's yeah. I was going to say cheesecake is
my favorite kind of cake. I love cheesecake but it's a pie and bake a cake to me. Well, you gained a little bit more respect back because you like the cheesecake I'm cool with that. Yeah, I'm a guy, not the cake guy. All right? Yeah, that's all it's going to ask just cause it's you guys in the Discord and common stuff. Let us know what's your favorite cake or if you're a pie person, instead of a cake person, totally ruins. The hashtag team cake. Now, doesn't it? He has 18 Pi T Pi.
All right, let's get into our main topic which is dungeons because that's coming out. Well, when the show airs, it'll come out yesterday. Yeah yeah yeah so what dungeons is is a procedurally generated Dungeon Crawler I'm trying to think of some games you can compare it to it's like games but it's more Minecraft than it is those games. It's got the third person view. Yeah the it's kind of an up-down perspective like you're looking down on a table but it's angled
a little bit. Yeah but Mojang's calling it a All new action adventure game coming to PC, Nintendo switch PS4, Xbox One, and Xbox game pass to me. The big kind of high up is that it's all procedurally generated. So you're not playing the same level over and over again. They all change a little bit here. There didn't know they changed. Actually, maybe different routes. Yeah, basically, it's a bunch of rooms and those rooms get moved around.
So you'll see. See rooms you recognize but they might be in a different location. Okay. On a different game. I wouldn't say on a different game, it's still on dungeons, but the problem is, we only got to play the beta. We have not played a full review game yet, so we don't fully know
what's happening with the game. Yeah, we could only going to be what we know which honestly is barely scratching the surface for what I'm seeing I've been watching some people play it and yeah but we wanted to talk about the stuff. We liked it dislike from it. Far these are in no particular order. I want to say yeah they're just kind of things. Let's go with our likes, let's get the good stuff out. First, I want to say both me and you have different likes and dislikes for the most part.
So we're not going to be talking about the same thing over and over again. You go ahead. What's your likes for dungeons Jimbo first? Like I have down is just the look and feel of everything, it's very Minecraft. E you could tell Well, you know, I mean if you were to want to create this dungeons in a Minecraft world you probably could there's some things that are a little different but yeah, it's all Minecraft man. And that's the first thing I noticed was playing just the
look and feel was just similar. It was just there you very much. Do feel like you're in a Minecraft game in this world which is perfect. I don't like games that are a completely different style game where they just kind of put a texture. On it and like, hey well it's part of this game. It's like No. And while this game is a completely different style of game but it feels like you're in a Minecraft game. It feels like it's an extension of Minecraft not an add-on
completely different. Yes, it's very hard to explain because you made it is completely different from Minecraft, but it doesn't feel completely different. I don't know. You guys can try it. You'll be good next. Another like Goose, go ahead and go through all your legs. Okay, next, I I have is the ability to upgrade everything. Like any weapon you have or
armor. It's everything's you're able to upgrade even your character and I love this style of games where you can customize things and upgrade your character and that's actually pretty popular in all dungeon type of crawling games. But it's nice to see that implemented with Minecraft. Also have different weapons and enchantments I love some of the weapons. Since they give you that, you don't get in the Minecraft games and enchantments for those weapons.
Trying to think of some enchantments, but it's been a while since I've played it. I just know there's some really cool and different ones. Yeah, I'm trying to think the big one to me is the firework rocket, it's obviously more destructive and the game, it's got a nice Splash Zone so it does a decent amount of damage spread out.
It probably would be overpowered in the regular version of Laughs to have it that way but it's the one that's always stuck out because it's one of the first things you get in the game and it is so useful to clear out tons of moms at a time. Yeah yeah there's that that weapon. What is it? Like the sickle. Mmm man. Why can't remember what it does again it's the only weapon I can think of it's new but I trying to think of its ability to be it was just a faster slashing
weapon, okay? It didn't it didn't have as much damage but you could swing Seriously, technically cause more damage per second. Okay? Yeah. Just just little things like that. I really like also I have the different mobs. It's always great to see different mobs. There. There are the same mobs, but some are different. It's good to see new fantasy style. Mobs are always awesome in are always going to be welcomed as much as everyone hates the Phantom.
I still like the Phantom because it was different and it was an attempt to try something different. So while it is a very Very annoying mob. I love the attempt and I want to see more of that and seeing the them do stuff like this dungeons. It's like yeah, maybe that mob worked really well there. Let's try to bring it over here. Yeah. So let's go with the my likes, okay. Because they're similar but they're not and I loved the look of the characters such as what's-his-name.
The king, why can't think of his name, the low Guy. Yeah, I really liked that character. The fact that it's a, it's a Pillager, but he's all kinds of short dress stenciling. It's a little wide. Yeah. Yeah. I like The Strider. It's such a stupid looking character. You kind of like it. Other than that, I loved the armor and weapon design. Armors that look different. They have like the fox armor or the Yammer. Yeah, the wolf armor. I would love to be able to eat something like that.
And Minecraft, I like how it's not just a box that's re textured because that's what all the armor and Java looks and feels like, it's just a box. That's been retexture to look like a different shape when you look at the weapons, all the weapons act differently, they don't swing like a sword for
everything. You've got the ax, which is a big over handed weapon that can definitely pick off one guy at a time, but it hits super You got the sickles that use this kind of swiping swing motion that you can kind of spin around in. So they're creating lots of havoc and stuff. I love how it's not the same animation over and over again for all that stuff. There's a lot of effort put into that and I think it turned out perfect.
Hmm, yeah. There's so many more weapons that we really even having gut to actually get. Yeah, because we only got three levels really to play through. So yeah, I don't even think we hit double-digit experience between. I mean both of us so we really didn't get too far but they're there are trust me we say there
are bunch of different weapons. There's a bunch where we could came think of any and this is where I get to my number two is to dilute the fact that there's so much different stuff out there and the fact that you can pick a sword or a bow or an axe off the ground and it comes with different enchantments that can progress you differently in the game to fit a different play style. I really liked and I think that's something that should be in the game.
How I would love to be able to travel to a sunken ship, open the chest and instead of getting like a treasure map or a heart of the sea or something like that, give me a sword that has like a random sharpness 9 on it or something like that. Something didn't you can't get in. Yeah, you can't get it in the typical game. So that makes that item rare. And when I lose this item, I'm going to feel much more pain for losing that item and before. So I like that. Yeah, I like it too.
Never thought of it like Cat. But that didn't allow is the advanced abilities going off. What you said, I like being able to level up your character, different ways. Have your own kind of playstyle the magic portion of the game was subtle and really nice. And I think could easily be implemented over into the main game. So I'd like to see that. Yeah, let's go ahead and get into dislikes. What are your just likes to remove first one, I have here, our player skins, there's a
limited option. It'd be nice for me too. As me because I have my own Minecraft skin but I'm unable to do that. Yeah, that's my number one dislike to is that I can't import my skin from Java or even if I had a Bedrock skin, there's really no way to get in there and granted we were playing on the beta game. I don't know if that's been fixed in the main game or if it's even an option in the main game.
So yeah, my next dislike was something you actually mention isn't a case but the fact that we got played the The same levels over and over. Now, you did mention they do switch up. Yeah, depending on your level, see Charlie generated, okay. Yeah, cuz I remember playing the level yo, so many times, but it's getting harder and harder as you play it and well, they got longer and longer to okay. Yes, some of them did but some of them it seemed like they had the same ending. I don't know.
It might be something I have to look at it again. What you would like is more variation and some of the in between Rooms because obviously they design certain rooms for certain fights that they can't change. So, all those rooms obviously are going to look the same but the rooms to get to those rooms didn't very a ton. So you really didn't see the procedurally-generated aspects of the game. So maybe have, I don't want to
say more varied. I want to say a steeper variation because I've I could tell that that was happening, but I was looking for it. Now, I can see where you who wasn't looking for it or weren't looking for. It didn't really notice it. So, I think the amount of variations were fine, like if they had 20 different variations of Pathways to get to these certain rooms. I think that's fine. I just would like to see a steeper variation between the 20 variations.
Yeah, something to switch it up a little bit more. It seems like, it seems like I was playing the same level over and over again at first but you weren't that's the weird. Yeah, so yeah, maybe something some changes there, be nice. My number two is the fact that we had to get moved over to a Bedrock launcher even though our Java launcher has. Hmm, this game put in I don't know why again, maybe it was
because we're in a beta. Maybe it was because the key we were given kind of forces us use a different launcher. Maybe we're just being crazy but if it does that for everyone then why have it in the Java Lon? ER, like there's a space for it. There's like, I want to use my regular launcher. That makes more sense. Yeah, think it says, doesn't it have the game in that launcher? You just can't access it in the Java launch.
It puts out like a little ad saying, when the games being released and stuff website where you can go to read more information on it. Yeah, this is my biggest dislike. I'm going to now and it's not really anything to do with the game, and I don't even think it's anything to do with Mojang Studio. It's when I saw that they were giving the early release copies
out, I got excited. The problem was none of the Minecraft Community. I normally watch got the early releases of the game or at least they weren't playing the early releases of the game, which we ought to me. I'm watching these Call of Duty streamers, really play Minecraft dungeon, because in their stream titles, it says, it was a gift from Microsoft, not a gift from Mojang or Mojang Studios.
So it felt like I had to suffer through these guys who's really didn't know Minecraft who were saying these things that didn't make sense and determines how the game were granted. It's a completely different game, but there are some aspects that carry over that help keep it in the same creative world. I'm just like no, that would never happen in Minecraft. You can't do that in this game either so I wasn't sure about
that. It just felt weird that your biggest proponent of Minecraft. Weren't your biggest proponent for dungeons. Yeah. I mean the only thing I could see out of that is if you're Minecrafters, don't want to play the dungeon style type of game. It is a completely different game. You don't get that creative Outlet, like you would get in Minecraft, so maybe they were just looking for streamers that do like League of Legends or games like that.
The some of the guys I was watching we're definitely mainly call. Of Duty streamers and they weren't normal streamers. They would stream like maybe three times a year. So you can tell they're only streaming because they're getting paid to stream this game. And I didn't like that.
I would rather like, I don't know, some normal people who normally pay my craft, and I don't know if it's maybe those people turned it down because like you said, they want to play regular Minecraft. I don't want to play Dungeons. I kind of doubt that maybe it was Microsoft's attempt to get people who aren't normally into Minecraft into Minecraft.
I see that as a more likely option, but I also saw it as a turn-off as in. Well, I'm a normally Minecraft player this Minecraft games not being advertised towards me so it must not be a game. I would like even though I played it and I have enjoyed it so that I don't know. Very, very weird. And again, I don't think it's to Mojang or even the game itself because I think the game is very fun and should be played, but I don't know.
Just the people who were advertising, it work people, I would consider to really know the game. Well enough to be a good Insight. Don't get me wrong. They were, they all were enjoying the game and they thought it was a fun game that, or they were very good actors, but knowing the fact that the game was a fun game. I think they were, they were actually enjoying it and it probably was a positive
advertisement for the game. I just would have liked to have seen more normal Minecrafters, do it. Also. Yeah, just to get their Active on it and compare it with the actual game. Now, I did see, logical geek boy stream it, and he played out if you streamed it, or it did have a video. But yeah, the first thing he did was, you know, try to take it all in and the feel of it. The looks of it and stuff and I
thought that was pretty cool. And that's the, I didn't, I wasn't known to. I didn't know he played it. I didn't see anybody. I normally watch and I usually watch logical geek boy. I didn't see these guys playing. So that's where I was just like, wait, why? Our wire Cod streamers playing it and not Minecraft Community players playing. Yeah, yeah that's why I'm could possibly be a stream where I saw it but I didn't know he did play it. I don't want.
I mean I did with anyone though, that just means I probably was wrong and the time I was watching was just completely off for when everyone else was playing it. So mmm, they did seem like glad random people did get their hands on the on them pre-release or the early release. We actually got it from a list. Her from the show and I don't know of him streaming or yo, do that with the microphone that wasn't an early release of the game? Yeah, it was the beta key. You guys are playing the full
game, okay? All right. All right. Or at least, it looked like that and I thought I was playing the game. I'm completely fine with expanding past, the Minecraft Community. I would just like to see more of the Minecraft Community playing it. Yeah, I agree. Karl did have one more thing. He wanted to hear from us and it's what we wanted to see from Dungeons and again we only played the beta version. So there's a ton of advancements that are going to happen to the
game that we maybe talk about. But my thing I don't think is going to be in the game and I want to see fortification Minecraft's a building game and I get this was a Dungeon Crawler and it wasn't really a building game but I'd love for you to be able to go to maybe certain parts of the map and like click and hold a button and maybe that puts a couple blocks down. So it could cut off a pass. Way for mobs or something like that. Or maybe you can build the Trap
or something like that. I would like to see some kind of fortification in the game. I think that would be really cool. Yeah, yeah, I agree with that, you know, maybe just have some blocks in your inventory that you pick up along the way. Maybe you can't mind them. You just fine. Yeah. You're able to place them but you know, I mean lay some so high you know make it limited to what you can do is that but yeah. Make some kind of block
placement available. Yeah. But if you're good I think I'm good. Yeah. Yeah, one thing of was just thinking about that, I really liked is how you can teleport to another player on the mat with an enderpearl. I was like oh that's cool genius. So go I'm going to use an ender pearl and then boom. I appear right next to you because I had an enderpearl that was that was a very underrated. Awesome feature. Yes, greedy animation. But yeah, that's about it for
dungeons. Like you said, we didn't get too far along. I don't know of anything like anything to improve it or what I want to see. His only got so far in some things I might want probably already in there. So I mean, we did play through the full beta. That's for sure. It's just the beta was only so long. Yeah. Yeah. We only got so far. Mmm. All right. I read this out. If you like to show you can share it with all your friends
