my name is Michael Powers. This is episode 27

of Off the Cuff. Tonight, we are covering the

fourth quarter games of 2013. Joining me this

week is Art Danner. It's me! It's Mario! I mean,

it's me, it's Danner. And Sean Z Brown. What

the hell was that? I think that was him trying

to be Mario. It sounded really good in my head.

It's a me a Dan or just like I'm sure Much like

the concept of when Sean's his parents got together

They thought it was a good idea to have a kid

so funny this guy and then in real life you Yeah,

yeah wait wait no you're you are insinuating

that Sean's he was a planned child ah good point

I Completely by the fact that he was totally

an accident Much like him being on this podcast.

Oh little accident, okay Believe I was invited

We didn't think you would take it seriously and

you just keep coming back Like serving sizes

on points of ice cream. No one takes me seriously

Much like Friday the 13th sequels you just keep

coming back. I thought you're gonna say I sucked

Oh no, oh no. You've gone past suck. You blow.

You just keep coming back. It's good. You know,

if you're going to do something, be the best.

That's what I say. You've gone from suck to blow.

You know what? Without a difference. Before we

die, let's let's. I'm trying to decide if we

should do listener feedback first and then. the

fourth quarter games. Let's do listener feedback

first. Let's do listener feedback first. Yes,

because you don't want to lose time and not get

to them. Right. OK, so. If anything, we can cut

off Shauncey. So on episode 26, we had three

questions for you guys. They were, what is your

favorite late night game fuel or snack, which

was asked by both Danner and Shauncey? Because

he stole it because I talked about it before

that he's a real I don't know what you're talking

about I'm not even gonna go to the point where

I say you're a dick. You're a bag of dicks You're

an entire satchel filled with dicks. That is

else. It's it's a very use useful and versatile

accessory. So Alright, I think that is a compliment.

So question number two was Will you be buying

any current -gen games, PS3, 360, Wii, Wii U,

games after you upgrade to a next -gen console

that plays just before the Xbox One, if, slash,

when you upgrade? And the final question was

asked, what do you think it means for a console

to win a generation, and is it silly to talk

about consoles winning a generation? First person.

Well, actually I don't have them in the order

that they responded but King Kong's replied with

Let's see. Well, first of all, he says he wants

more killing Sean Z jokes. Yeah He also says

they loves listening to the podcasts so Good

we are actually doing a good job. I'm glad that

means there's at least one person getting enjoyment

out of this There are three people that responded

so He says This one come about where did this?

Oh, you know what I think I put in the wrong

question up there anyways he says his favorite

game to play by himself is Shawnee's favorite

game, which is state of decay I Didn't say it

was my favorite. It's one of your an asshole

Oh so what, you don't like it anymore? It's not

a favorite? Is it a favorite? No, I never said

it was a favorite. Stop putting words in my mouth

and start putting other things in there. Okay.

But yeah, he says he likes to play State of the

K when he's got nothing else going on. That was

one of my questions. I actually forgot to put

your question in the list of questions. Well,

what the fuck? Apparently he snitched it out

of the episode, so it's all good. Yeah, in your

face. You have a fan. Yeah, although apparently

he wants more jokes about your death. You know

what? Everybody loves Kenny off off South Park

and he dies every episode. So whatever. And much

like that gag, you are as old as it. So he also

says, I'm the youngest guy here. No, I mean,

you're tired act. Oh, gotcha. There you go. So

to the third question about the council's when

a generation is silly to talk about them, he

says. when i look at who wins a generation mainly

for me it's the one i used the most if i used

it more than the others that tells me it had

better games simple maybe but logical is it a

silly question no i don't think so so i i kind

of get what he's saying here but for me it wasn't

so like if we're talking about just like the

last generation right about who who won between

the 360 and the ps3 i didn't play on the 360

like because it was better That's just where

your friends were yeah, it was more because it's

well more because live had its shit together

yes, and so it's kind of like I That's why you

keep saying and who won the generations and you

keep saying Xbox live yeah exactly yes Xbox live

won it for Microsoft because like Xbox won the

multiplayer generation PlayStation won the single

-player Well, yeah, because I mean let's not

even like look at it this way. I mean you could

play Call of Duty We could have played all the

modern warfare games on the PlayStation 3. You

know, I never would have met Shonzi and life

would probably be much better. It would be totally.

Don't worry. I'll quickly. Where's that box of

razor blades? I have to I have to stop. Not close

enough. Doesn't have to be. I can get a running

start at it. But I feel like it was it was Xbox

Live, you know, that made it so easy to play

with your friends. And just to sit down and start

playing, which is why I spent the majority of

the generation playing on the 360. I don't know

how about you guys feel. But yeah, that is a

good estimation. I mean, I think I played better

games on the PS3, although I spent more time

on the 360. I don't know if that makes any sense

to you guys. It does, but when I had my PlayStation,

I used it more as a Blu -ray player than anything,

so. Always thought of my PlayStation as a better

entertainment system That makes any kind of sense

yeah, yeah, yeah, or it's like I use that more

for Netflix and Because Netflix is awesome on

the ps3 and it's a fucking mess on well better

I don't know if I would say it was straight -up

awesome. No, I think Netflix best interfaces

on the ps3. Yeah I will agree with that because

I will say that if you have a keyboard to plug

into it to type in when you're searching for

stuff Whatever just whatever song first thing

that pops up boom. That's what Dan is watching.

Well. That's what his kids are watching so Then

he goes on to answer Danner's question, which

is his favorite late -night game fuel is Red

Bull The new Mountain Dew energy drink Mountain

Dew with more caffeine have not blinked in weeks

Have it I haven't tried the new Mountain Dew

and I've only had like I've only ever had like

two cans of Red Bull It tastes like liquid Smarties

to me. I it's way too sweet for me like other

energy drinks I'll drink but right unless it's

got some alcohol in it like Jager bombs are fantastic

I was gonna say I haven't I haven't touched an

energy drink in maybe two years and I haven't

Drank more than a glass of pop in the last two

months I'm sorry. I don't know pop is I'm the

other nine soda great soda. Thank you. There

you go carbonated beverage Carbonated syrup water.

That's why I play it right down the mill and

just say soda Yeah, well waiting waiting not

choose a side He's fucking Switzerland. Because

it would be Switzerland situation. But I mean,

for me, my late night gaming fuel is a 12 cup

pot of black coffee. Not a coffee drinker, so

I can't do it. Oh, that's that's me. What modern

warfare and a pot of coffee that is that is five

hour energies are for and as many B12 tablets

as you can shove in your face. And then typically

goldfish crackers. I'm a fan of Lunchables. I

don't know what it is. Yeah, I saw your Twitter

post about Lunchables or was it Facebook? Yeah,

I was gonna wait until we were done reading these

to answer the questions ourselves Oh, that's

fine. Do you want to read Plato's laments comments?

Yeah, I'll read it Sean Please send me your leftover

razor blade so I can use it to scratch up my

Saints Row 4 discs before I sell it back to GameStop

for 15 bucks and a written apology. So now I

mean, he's never going to get $15 for that. I

know. I was like, you won't give it to me. I'm

curious, though. Is he is he saying because he

all of a sudden changes his opinion on the game

and doesn't enjoy it anymore and he's asking

GameStop for an apology or is he asking for an

apology from Sean? OK. I always want a written

apology from Sean I'm sorry that my awesomeness

diminishes your life Can I get your mom's phone

number? I would like an apology letter from her

I am never giving you my mother's phone number

for any reason not happening. Come on. Mr. Long

dick I'd know Maybe maybe plate dose can clarify

that comment because I would just like to know

if it's which one it is for for the record But

if I had to guess he he just said game stop cuz

that's where he trading games and he wants a

written apology from Violation I would say or

deep silver or whoever. I'm pretty sure he wants

one from you. I'm going with that That's how

it reads to me, but he's damaging the disc so

that leads me to say that he he against the game

Oh my god, are we really waxing philosophic about

the meaning of? One sentence comment. Yes, we

are gonna lie what you just said kind of sounded

dirty Said waxing something. I don't know waxing

something, you know waxing philosophic. Yeah

sounds dirty Oh my god, fuck Did you get a GED?

Nah, god, no, that's too much work. All right,

Dan, what is Plato's favorite gaming fuel? Plato's

favorite gaming fuel is pizza hot pockets add

volcano hot sauce and dip in ranch dressing Sounds

horrible, but scratches that greasy food late

night itch That and booze. Lots and lots of booze.

I can't argue with the booze stuff. I was waiting

for you to end that by, and back to you, Mike.

And back to you, Mike! I like drinking every

now and then with my games. It depends if I drink

too much. I'll fall asleep. I don't fall asleep.

I just know he doesn't fall asleep I don't ever

have the pleasure of playing with him drunk the

best the best is playing Call of Duty with Mike

when he's drinking because he gets so belligerently

angry and slap at me and then starts Playing

at his own team most of the time. That's why

flashbangs lots of flashbangs Well that happens

anyways. Yeah, I get what I call dick illigerent

Yeah, yeah, illiterate. He turns into a real

dick. A belligerent dick. I like Hot Pockets.

Does anybody else like Hot Pockets? I do. Well,

it depends. I'm a pizza rolls guy. Yeah, pizza

rolls are good. Hot Pockets, it depends, because

it has one of three outcomes. It can either come

out perfect and taste delicious. It can have

a ice cold center. Or you can bite once into

it and never taste anything for another week.

I think you need a better microwave. I can. It

doesn't matter what happens. It always sucks.

And every once in a while, it's perfect. And

it's like, I can't recreate the formula. I think

the operator is the one who sucks in this situation,

not necessarily. I only suck when I'm being paid

to, sir. Don't know do I have nothing for that

except for the fact that I am fresh out of cash

And you still suck No Friends and family discount

you know I mean I don't do all right I don't

do the greasy foods when I'm when I'm gaming

though I Hate getting my controller greasy. Yeah,

I don't like that um I usually stick to food.

I can pick up with one hand That I don't need

a second hand for like I was playing with a kid

the other day He was eating spaghetti and meatballs.

How do you even do that? Very carefully. I don't

even get it. That's like you got to hold the

spoon and then twist the four I don't get it

Maybe he had it like I'm on the end of a drill

That would be fantastic. Oh That's gonna be Mike's

not that's gonna be my homework for next week.

All right, Dan are Will what will he buy will

he buy the current generation systems? games

after you upgrade? Possibly if the better version

is still on the older version, or if more of

my friends are playing the older version. Why

can't video games put in the older and newer

version in the same pack like the Blu -ray and

DVD? I know, prices are different. It should

still make things easier. Back to you, Mike!

Unfortunately, I think... I liked, you know,

we've had conversations about this before on

like, you know, back on the lunchroom and stuff

like that about, you know, the video games putting

both versions in and selling them that way like

like Blu -ray and DVD has been doing Sony's done

that with the Vita and the PlayStation 3 to a

certain extent although my fear is now is that

Hollywood is taking more of a play from video

games than video games are taking from Hollywood

Because now with the exclusive stuff. Yep, the

exclusive all that, you know Sir, what was it

oblivion? No, it's a Star Trek into darkness

Star Trek. That's what it is All this I as I

was just I just rented that the other day and

it's remarkably nothing Extras on that desk.

Well, see that's that's usually happened with

rental copies I remember when they did that like

the rental copies there those are yeah, they

hit they taste it's a rental and stuff on it

no, but I mean still like I've Went to a friend's

house watch it too. And like he just had like

the DVD. You didn't have the word thing It's

got nothing on it. I will say though with regards

to this question what this answer I think I Think

the like publishers are meeting gamers halfway

with their upgrade program where it's like if

you get you know If you buy Call of Duty on the

360 Oh how they're saying that and then you upgrade

to the Xbox one. You can only have to Trading

for 10 bucks. Yeah. So I know one. I think that's

that's I mean, we mentioned that last time, right?

This is kind of a first. Yeah. For the publishers.

So it's kind of at least they're at least they're

kind of meeting you halfway, I guess. I think

it's kind of they want to like we want to get

that game out in your hands sooner. I think it's

irresponsible gamers with lack of patience and

my you know, the people that well, if I wait

another week and a half, I could buy it on the

PlayStation four. But I want my Call of Duty

now. Well, let me ask you this because do you

think because of the upgrade program going on

here and Sony hasn't really solidified anything

either way. Do you think I mean, do you kind

of are you worried at all that the hard, you

know, the hardcore modern warfare guys are like

the top tier modern warfare guys are probably

the guys are going to buy new systems at launch,

right? But they're also probably the same guys

that are going to take advantage of this upgrade

program. So are you worried about like being

two, two, three weeks behind everybody when you

sit down to play Ghost and you get thrown in

matches with people that are like level 50, 60?

That happens anyways. Yeah, I'm going to get

my butt kicked regardless. Number one. Number

two. I'm gonna be said number two Be I'm going

to Kid I'm always gonna ruin somebody's day in

that game. It doesn't matter. I the leveling

doesn't matter I think it's the way you play

and I play yeah, like I crazed bad out of hell

and have zero strategy So I'm fine with it doesn't

matter to me Okay, I was just I was just curious,

you know for the sake of conversation But yeah,

I think they're just trying to meet people halfway.

I think it's cute that they care. Or that they

seem to care. I mean, that is giving people an

option. People that would be like, oh, I guess

I'll wait to, you know, do it this. Then they're

like, oh, no, I can just do it now. Ten bucks

is totally a easy fee for me to pay. But you

know what? You know what? Above, you know, over

the ten dollar, you know, trade in program thing,

I think the best thing that they've done is saying

all your stuff will transfer. Which is cool.

So it's not like you're starting all the way.

You're not starting over when you switch platforms,

which I think is great so Last hand the last

answer he had which was for what does it mean

to win a generation and he says Nothing, honestly

PlayStation fanboys will say PlayStation and

the best and Xbox fans will say Xbox is the best

Nintendo fans will say Super Nintendo was the

best people See what he did there People need

to feel like they made the right choice, so they

will justify it any way they can back to you

Mike Oh It's like the sports now with Art Danner

and the you know it's channel seven team No,

it's feedback with that the trick with that is

though. I know absolutely nothing about sports

It's it's feedback with Art Danner. Yes In fact,

I think we need to make that a segment and we

need to have your friend make some up some theme

music for that Sounds awesome I agree with what

he's saying except I don't think anyone in their

right mind can say the Xbox was the best No,

now we're just arguing semantics here because

he may have meant the 360 but no one's gonna

say the Xbox is the best PlayStation that's you

know, that's Mean they released 7900 games for

that thing so it's kind of hard to not say it

might be the best and I do like how Nintendo

stops after Super Nintendo Yeah, because that's

where it stopped Super Nintendo was awesome.

Oh I was a fan of 64 You can be a fan of 64,

but it was not better than the Super Nintendo.

Oh god. No nothing's better than the Super Nintendo

I have fond feelings for it because it's the

first time I've ever used a joystick, so... Like,

not a controller. Not a controller gets my gutters.

Refusably, that's the first time you used a joystick.

I mean, not with my mouth. I do completely agree

with this last part, though, where most of the

arguments come from, where he says people need

to feel like they made the right choice, so they

will justify it any way they can. See? I have

the liberty of being dumb and buying every single

system in a generation. So I can honestly say

I I will honestly say of like the Xbox, PlayStation

2 and Gamecube generation. I still think the

Gamecube was the best looking system. I will

agree with that. But I would say I had the most

fun on the PlayStation 2. I will agree with that

statement as well. Um, I don't know Travesty

the Xbox was terrible going in in this next generation

though. I I you know, we've you know, Dan and

I we've got PlayStation 4 is pre -ordered in

their launch editions and we're gonna be you

know Over the moon and happy to be playing all

this all these new games and stuff like that

But it's like the one thing the one game I that

I watch a video for a trailer for that makes

me like regret pre -ordering a PlayStation 4

and not an Xbox One is Titanfall. Titanfall.

God love Titanfall. Anything else I see, like,

you know, I can see, like, Forza or... That game

never changes. I can't even think of, like, another,

like, Rise. Who cares about that game? I can't

even, like, there is another Xbox One game that

I can think of that makes me, like, when I watch,

like, you know, the two -minute, 30 -second video

or something like that, that makes me regret

purchasing a PlayStation 4, but... I put, you

know, inevitably because it's published by EA,

it will come to the PlayStation 4 and because

EA likes money. So. Last comment, last piece

of feedback we have comes from SuperFilmFan98.

I wonder if he likes films. By the way, thanks

for. for listening. I'm hoping you really are

enjoying the show and hope to hear from you some

more. I think he I think he stumbled across the

site recently because it's like if we get to

a thousand, a thousand people writing in, I will

actually kill myself on the air. It will get

us a thousand people listening or responding.

This is my new goal in life. So wait, wait, can

we tape you killing yourself? I mean, the YouTube

is Skype. Mmm, I think I think pleases me more

than Ashanti snuff film First question, what

is your favorite late -night game fuel? He said

this might sound a little weird, but I'm a hummus

guy Spicy hummus with some pita bread is my favorite

version of heaven The spicier the better I do

love me some hummus. I do like hummus, too Not

spicy hummus new Because you're a big girl no

taste delicious But I don't want to have to get

up for my can my Xbox in 20 minutes with a horrible

emergency With a burning ring of fire. Oh My

god, dude. I don't need one night of gaming to

ruin one week's worth of living to blow your

to blow your o -ring out. Oh My god, I don't

know if you okay random. Sorry. Do you guys have

Moe's out there? I don't know. Yes Oh my god,

that is the worst mistake I've ever made in my

entire life I Love it. I think it tastes great.

I love going in because they have to they have

to say welcome to most you they have to it's

great, but that Makes my my butthole term into

it into it like a devil's doorway Next question,

okay, just just had to throw that in there go

We asked will you be buying any current -gen

games after you update to a next -gen console?

He says no no trading my old console in to get

the new console This is gonna be the first generation.

I'm not doing that I've got my when I got my

360 I traded my Xbox in for sure when I got my

360 I traded in everything towards my 360 except

for my GameCube That I kept I still have everything

But my game, I don't even know what happened

to my GameCube. It just disappeared. I think

it grew legs and walked away. Yeah, but there

were like weird square legs. I think my PlayStation

3 stared at it long enough that it got up and

walked away. I'm jealous of you. I'm leaving.

It has a carry handle, dude. Somebody just walked

off the ship. Does anybody remember the PlayStation

3 commercial where it animated the baby? Yeah.

Yeah, that's, that shit was creepy. I've just

never done the trade -in thing, but I can understand

why people do it I I could totally understand

that but this is definitely gonna be especially

since I'm just you know getting a The opposite

I have an Xbox 360. I'm getting PlayStation 4

Definitely not gonna trade it in I can still

get a lot of a lot of fun times out of my Xbox

Yeah, I'm I don't think anything's gonna happen

to my 360 until plants versus zombies garden

warfare is played out although That's coming

out of the PlayStation 4 now too, so. Yay! I

will say, even though I'm not trading this stuff

in, I think it's gonna be my PlayStation 3 that

gets moved out from under the TV. Well, yeah,

you don't want to have two PlayStations under

there. Well, I mean, I have games that I would

still probably want to play, but I'm gonna leave

the 360 plugged in on life support. Let's see.

Next question was what do you think it means

to win a generation and is it silly to ask? He

says it means you have a head start for the next

generation look at the PlayStation It was ahead

with the ps with the ps2 then Xbox cut up and

went ahead Last thing last thing I read it appears

Xbox will sell more consoles in the US even with

all their screw -ups If it wasn't for their success

winning this generation at least in my humble

opinion That would not be the case I'll tell

you what. I don't know. I wouldn't say definitely

one, but the Wii surprised me more than anything

The first originally yeah, I think this was a

lot of people when I heard about no I mean my

not even sales wise like myself when I first

played it like I was like This is stupid and

then like four hours later. I'm still planning

Wii Sports obviously playing Wii Sports I'm like

holy shit if I balance the ball on top of the

bumper rail I get a strike automatically Yep

No, I I don't know like, you know PlayStation

had its PlayStation was alone By itself, I mean

the Dreamcast had come out when the like like

a couple months before the PlayStation 2 had

hit but PlayStation was kind of alone by itself

I mean the yeah, the N64 was its direct competitor,

but the N64 did not have the games that the PlayStation

had it just couldn't and they had the momentum

going into the PS2. I don't think Microsoft didn't

catch up until the 360. Agreed. There's two reasons

for that, I think. Well, three, actually. One

is they released a year earlier, cheaper and

live. Live is just sticky. It's hard to get out

of it. And, you know, being like $100 to $200

less than the PlayStation 3 did not hurt at all.

Yeah, did not hurt them at all. So it'll be it'll

be interesting. I think that I think this is

going to be a flip flop because I think that

100 bucks made more difference than anything

else. Well, yeah, that's the one thing we didn't

talk, you know, we didn't get around to talking

about on the last episode was the you know, the

Xbox one. is coming out on November 22nd, which

is a week after the PlayStation 4 at this time.

Now, we didn't really get a chance to hit on

this, but I think personally, and it's just whether

or not this kind of situation happens, I think

that's the first good thing they've done. I agree.

Because I think that's the first thing they've

done that puts pressure on Sony. What, just by

saying? Well, it's gonna be there in hands. No

what it is is I'm on November 15th myself and

and Ali, you know, we're both getting one I I

heard I have talked about it. We're not expecting

PlayStation Network to work on Friday that Friday

at all Well, yeah, I mean I wouldn't expect Xbox

Live to work on the foot. Wouldn't you? No, you

know, really I would I I would F after halfway

through this generation any thing online, I don't

expect to work flawlessly as soon as it comes

out. But see, that's the thing, though. Microsoft

is hyping and they and they made a big deal about

this always on check in thing. It's kind of like

it's kind of like, you know, it's yeah, they

they they reverse their policies on all that

stuff. Right. But if their console comes out

that Friday and live gets crippled, that right

there is justification for every consumer for

being pissed that they even wanted to do the

always online connection thing like. They they

have it's like, oh, you're going to make me be

connected, but you're not even have reliable.

Exactly. And Microsoft had Microsoft has to hit

that. That way they can just be like, told you

so. Like they have the app live has to work out

of the box no matter what on the 22nd. Now, I

feel like there's going to be a portion of people

that are jumping ship to the PlayStation and

they're. They, you know, they're coming from

360 and the live experience, which, you know,

compared to PlayStation Network is flawless for

the most part. And they're going to get their

Playstations home and they're going to log on.

They're going to pay their $50 and they're going

to try and play a multiplayer game. And it's

not going to work. And they are probably going

to be within their return window to return a

console and, you know, try and go get an Xbox

one like. That's my that that's why I think it's

the the smart thing that they've done You know

Microsoft has put pressure on Sony to have the

PlayStation Network be bulletproof on the 15th

because You know like Microsoft Sony is also

pushing the digital day one releases like they're

they're saying like you pre -order you can you

can pre -order PlayStation 4 games digitally

right now on PlayStation Network yeah, and Doesn't

matter first copies in stores You'll have it

on your system, right? But you have to be able

to you've paid your $60 You have to be able to

sign on to download that game. Yeah, and if you

can't oh I mean, oh, yeah. Yeah a couple million

people trying to download one game at the same

time What could possibly go wrong? It will be

it's that's not exactly how it works But I mean

that's but that's the idea though, right? I mean

it has to work and I think Microsoft is gonna

sit back and laugh at Sony like All day long

plus. I mean Xbox has had the experience on you

know quality Yep online capabilities, and it's

kind of it's kind of baffling to me that they're

both launching on a Friday Which means tech support

is gonna go home So I wouldn't expect any network

stuff I'd be amazed if they work on it over the

weekend like it'll all be on India dude in India

know Xbox or yeah Xbox one is November 22nd and

on the other side and do a rundown of the q4

games I'm just really glad that everybody appreciates

the shot dying jokes. Yes It's an ink. It's a

very important part of the show at this point.

I think it is it's it's magic It kind of brings

all together after it gives us something else

to hate After I kill myself online after your

feedback corner, they can be like and now the

corpse corner and just turn It's just it's like

a video of me laying motionless For 30 seconds

We're back on the other side of what I can only

assume was a pull bag slug. We're going to talk

about the we're going to do a rundown of the

Q4 games. This will not include launch games.

That's going to be for Episode 28. Spoiler alert,

which will be recorded right after this. So you

wait. Now. Yep. We get it immediately. Nope,

okay, so We're gonna take a step back just because

and we're gonna run through these real quick

September 3rd So the release of Raymond Legends,

which was actually supposed to be released in

like what March? I've heard really good things

about this game though. I've heard excellent

things about this. Yeah, I've heard that it's

Kind of amazing. I've heard it's unforgiving

That that's almost what you want a platformer

to be though now Clint Eastwood's in it. Yes

Okay. Did I shoot five Rayman or four? That was

released for the PS3, the 360, and the Wii U.

There was also... And a Vita version. Oh, yeah,

with missing levels. No, they're patched them

all in. Oh, really? Yep. How nice of them. Yep.

Also the release of Dead or Alive 5 ultimate

this franchise is still around I was I was looking

on Xbox the other day and like I always check

out like the recent add -ons if anything news

cut like some little stuffs coming on new and

there was just a fucking wall of dead or alive

so I'm like it's like ooh somebody's sexy costume

somebody else's sexy costume like holy shit this

game hasn't died yet so it was a wall of breasts

No, you don't get to see them Oh, it's very annoying.

So it was a wall of covered mammary glands. It

was a wall of covers of fucking dead or alive.

I was looking through. I was like, Jesus Christ,

who cares about this? The Internet is for porn.

Go, go there. See real boobs jiggling. Well,

that depends on who you're watching. Mine, my

own boobies jiggling. All right. September 10th

saw the release of NHL 14. Don't care. It also

saw the release of Young Justice legacy, which

is based off of the cancelled TV show I thought

it was gonna be based off the old movie. Oh Young

just I'm stupid. Yes. Yes, you are Yeah, not

the young justice. I'm talking about Okay, then

also saw the release of puppeteer on PlayStation

Network, which I've heard really good things

about this is like a very That's the one where

you're like the marionette, right? Yeah. Yeah,

I've heard that's really cool. I've seen people

saying that they're charging their 3D glasses

to play this game, which that's pretty high praise

in and of itself. Last thing released this week

was Kingdom Hearts HD Remix 1 .5. I think I'm

going to buy this for Ali. I almost kind of want

to buy it because I've never played a Kingdom

Hearts game. this is kind of like the kingdom

hearts franchise is where i you know the the

second point in the square square's life where

i started to lose faith in them because kingdom

hearts is basically a 3d representation of secretive

mana and it made me very sad that it wasn't secretive

mana other things make you sad they do he's very

sensitive yeah onto something else i don't care

about September 17th. Grand Theft Auto 5! Yay!

For PS3 and 360. If Joe was here, he'd be popping

a digital boner. He'd be popping a real one,

let's be honest. And later, I'm just gonna go

ahead and call it PC, Xbox One, and PlayStation

4. Not gonna happen. It will. PC, yes. And it'll

come to the other ones. I call bullshit. Okay.

Do you want to place another wager on it? Mmm

another watchdog wait Wait, wait, is it the one

-sided wager like your watch talk one was? No,

it's if it's if you're if I'm right, you have

to buy it for me if I'm wrong I have to buy you

a game of your choice Wager accepted. Okay Now

Danner Since started accepted when he said any

game of your choice you gotta pick like an ultra

rare game that costs like a thousand dollars

for us Hey, hey Sean. I'm not a huge massive

cock like you are so back down. It's okay You're

sure you're not cuz I thought you are what you

eat Thank You Danner Fuckstain All right, and

September 24th is the game that Danner is the

most psyched about FIFA 14 Now with 20 % more

green cards I've actually heard in this one.

Um, there can be like a soccer riot and people

will die in the stands. It's gonna be amazing

That's awesome. So they combined it turned be

WWE 14. No, what is is you play and then you

have four friends that Go play Super Smash Bros

with people in the back. I just want a fighting

game that's called soccer hooligans and all you

do is play as spectators in a soccer stadium

and they get drunk and go to bars and just beat

the shit out of people. Isn't that state of emergency?

Let's not talk about that game. That game is

a blight. It's a bonus Molotov round where you

got to light cop cars on fire. October 8th sees

the release of Disgaea D2 A Brighter Darkness.

Nothing about this. I tried I tried to play the

Vita version of this I Made it 15 minutes. The

gameplay is awesome But the dialogue writing

and everything else just makes you want to fucking

gouge your eyes out If you like if you like Japanese

things, you'll totally like this game if you

don't and You're not 14. You're probably not

gonna like it Is there boobs? You said 14. Is

there boobs? No, I don't think there's any boobs.

Alright. One last date before we get kind of

technical. How can darkness be brighter? I don't

understand. It's always brightest before the

dawn. Whatever. Why do they call it a shade of

grey? If it's brighter darkness, it's grey, not

blue. Whatever. Let's move on. October 25th.

Batman Arkham Origins. I'm not ready to write

it off, but I don't think it'll be very good.

That's I'm like Great, but if it's bad, I'm not

gonna be shocked. This game is gonna suck harder

than Jason Todd And then there's also on the

state there's Batman Arkham Origins Blackgate

That game I'm looking forward to it. What's which

one's the Vita version? Okay, so and 3ds So the

Vita version. Does it come on the 2DS too? Yes.

Probably. But nobody comes on the 2DS. Wait a

second. I don't know. It looks like it might

have an easily walkable screen. It's the internet.

I'm pretty sure there's something out there.

Never mind. Everybody will be coming on the 2DS.

Also on October 25th, there is WWE2K14. Oh, thank

God. I don't care for the ps3 in the 360 like

these games. I really like these games These

are the only semi -sport fighting game that I

enjoy I'm not gonna buy it because I've barely

played 13 yet and unless it's WCW vs NW I couldn't

care less about wrestling. Oh WWF no mercy on

the N64. Oh anyways That was just boner I I do

like the wrestling games But because of the new

next generation and there is no next -gen version

of this I'm assuming 2k 15 will be but this I'm

just Not interested because it's not next -gen

version You hear that 2k if it was on the Xbox

one and the ps4 I'd be buying it at launch, but

it's not so Fuck you guys. All right. Now, just

so everyone's aware, from here forward, anything

that we say has a release date, that's the 360

PS3 relaunch date. Like I said, in the next episode,

we'll be talking about the PlayStation 4 and

the Xbox One launches. So releases are going

to get kind of sketchy here. Very few titles.

but a lot of them are just waiting for, you know,

the PlayStation 4 and the Xbox One. So October

29th, we see the release of Assassin's Creed

4 Black Flag. I'm actually looking forward to

this. Pirates, dude. I called it back on the

Assassin's 3 show. Well, except now there is

actually an Assassin's Creed Pirates. Yes, like

I saw that liberation game. No. There's an Assassin's

Creed Pirates. For the iPad and iPhone? Oh god.

Yep. Also on this date comes Shaunzy's favorite

game. Battlefield 4! I bet you guys abandoned.

Hey, hey, we didn't abandon. We never actually

completely got both feet on the bandwagon. We

got one half on the bandwagon. Yeah, I mean,

I know I placed the pre -orders. I have my pre

-order bonuses for both Danner and I. I just,

you know, I canceled them. Because we switched

to something else that was coming out on November

5th. Yes, but we're not getting it on November

5th because Danner thinks those people are pansies.

Call of Duty Ghosts. Now, I honestly, I had I

think I'd kind of. I know Dan and I almost written

off the Call of Duty franchise And then they

kind of showed their multiplayer demo They unfurled

their multiplayer cocks. Yes and released the

trailer and I was just like Mike watch this and

you then you go. Okay. I'm switching our pre

-orders right now Yeah, that's what I thought

and the stuff I've heard about they're actually

building maps All the maps are designed for like

players of all different game all different play

types. So they're actually building sniping like

purchase into The maps now, they also are adding

they're making it so you can't basically quick

scope anybody anymore so you won't get people

running around with sniper rifles whipping them

up and You know how are they? How are they stopping

that they're they're making the The the Bob is

gonna be there's gonna be perks that lower the

Bob and all this other stuff like just to make

actual sniping in a prone position or crouched

in cover easier than just whipping the scope

up. Like you might not be aimed anywhere close

to your target if you just pull the scope right

up. So I'm, I, and as you know, as a camper,

I'm looking forward to that stuff. Did you watch

the story trailer that dropped today? I think

you answered your own question there. Story trailer?

Dudes and care about story. We had the one that

where it showed like they uh, it starts in space

space And then it has the dog attack the helicopter.

Yeah Yeah, cuz that happens all the time That

helicopters are taken down by a dog. He wasn't

attacking the helicopter He was attacking you

the guy that was getting into the helicopter.

No, he was I think he jumped up and got the pilot

No, it was a guy that That's what it looked like.

It looked like the guy was sitting inside the

helicopter with a dog hanging off his arm. I

don't care. If I get a in -space multiplayer

level, I will be so ecstatic. As long as I can

drift off into nothingness and then eventually

just die in a spot, I'm sold. Okay, Sandra Bullock.

But like... I just want to play Ground Control

to Major Tom the entire time. Yeah, yeah, I want

to be that guy that just blasted into his microphone

only if they make it so if you try to use a new

tube it launches your ass backwards That'd be

awesome Getting that'd be a way to like move

faster You'd shoot behind you and then turn around

if only could do the wall -e and you can grab

a fire extinguisher and zip around If only we

had jetpacks Alright November 8th Is bringing

Arcania? I have no idea. Me either. I just -

Could give Rats ass. Yeah. November 15th has

a slew of games that we're not going to cover

right now. Slew, he said, everyone. Yes. November

19th, we'll see the release of the game that

I am looking forward to, which is Need for Speed

Rivals. I've got my friend John on board with

the game, so I don't need anybody else to play

with me. I could go either way. I enjoy racing

games fully when I play them. And then a week

later, I could don't even look at it again. I

just like what they're doing with it, where the

multi like a lot of next gen titles, you know,

the multiplayer and the single player are merged

into one thing. I mean, obviously, you can play

them in an offline setting, but if you're connected,

when you start just an event race, the game will

try to populate the other racers with real people.

And also they can. Populate your world with the

cops and they can be with with cops and those

cops can be actual Can be other real people instead

of just racing against a dumb AI There's got

to be a way to set up those. I hope the matchmaking

is good. There is no matter making well No, I

mean, I don't know how they're gonna determine

what people they're gonna pull into your game

Because if they pull someone to be your cop that's

way better than you that's gonna make you pissed

off at your own game I I mean Yeah, that kind

of remains to be seen and I I from what I've

gathered they're adding um, like classes like

different race classes to the game They haven't

really gone into the racer side of racer semi

-fast racer. No slowpoke racer They've added

like you can be like a highway cop or like a

patrol cop or you can be an undercover cop And

you can like move up in the ranks and get different

perks and stuff like that The one that interests

me is the undercover cop Because then you actually

get to go and get in the races with other racers

And then I think you're like assigned to take

down like the the lead car and only the lead

car or something like that So that's November

19th, and you know what's really weird is when

I made the list that was it Like November 22nd

when the Xbox 180 sorry Xbox one launches That's

pretty much it for the rest of the year Watch

dogs comes out and that for all councils on the

22nd. Uh -huh. Yep So yeah watch dogs. I'm looking

forward to watch dogs as well I have a feeling

I'm gonna play that while Ali's playing Assassin's

Creed 4 and then we're gonna switch I have a

feeling I'm gonna play both at the exact same

time He's gonna actually get two TVs set up I'm

gonna play a chapter of Assassin's Creed 4 and

then I'm gonna play a chapter of Watch Dogs.

Just pretend you're Desmond in the future. Exactly.

It's like playing as Desmond in the future. It's

the component that'll be missing from 4. Except

he doesn't suck. Yeah, yeah. That's gonna be

a big component of Watch Dogs is the whole not

sucking in the future. Is anyone just slightly

bummed that Watch Dogs wasn't a code name for

some present -day Assassin's Creed? Oh, super

bummed because the moment I saw that, that's

exactly what I thought it was going to be. At

first. But then I... thinking of Watch Dogs being

its own entity is more exciting. Because I really

didn't want to turn out to be like, oh, you're

actually Desmond. Like, fuck that dude. I don't

care. Yeah, because Desmond is kind of a wiener.

He is not even kind of. He is full on twat status.

Well, if anybody would know, it would be you.

You can smell your own. Yeah, it's kind of fishy.

yeah all right so simple question this week just

so we can wrap this show up and get on to recording

the next one uh simple question tell us what

games you're looking forward to this fall oh
