Podcasts about Katara

Spoiler Alert: Avatar: The Last Airbender, The Legend of Korra, and the Avatar comic books.We get back into the swing of making bonus content with Avatar Aang: The Last Airbender. And this time with a guest. Welcome to the podcast, JP!We all like nostalgia movie sequels made years after the fact right? Tron Legacy, The Matrix 4, Jurassic world. It's always a good move. Haven't we all asked ourselves what Aang and the gang have been up to in their early 20s? Katara and Aang building republic city, Toph training some randos metal-bending, Sokka inventing a weird bike, and Zuko being the firelord or whatever. Just like we all pictured. The only thing we need now is a hot sixth guy who maybe holds the key to Aang's heritage. That would be perfect, just as long as he isn't secretly evil…

In this chunky episode, the boys talk about Melty Blood: Twi Lumina gameplay reveal, Tokon Open Beta, and mostly about the release of Avatar Legends: The Fighting Game. Garrett also poses the question if Sokka and Katara can do the Arctic Shake

Migrācijas krīze Spānijai piederošajā Seutas anklāvā Āfrikas ziemeļos. Masu protesti Pakistānas kontrolētajā Kašmiras daļā. Donalds Tramps paziņojis, ka panākta vienošanās par teroristu grupējuma "Hamās" pilnīgu atbruņošanos Gazas joslā. Izraēla bažīga par šādu paziņojumu. Aktualitātes analizē laikraksta "Diena" komentētājs Andis Sedlenieks un Latvijas Radio Ziņu dienesta vadītājs, Latvijas Ārpolitikas institūta pētnieks Uģis Lībietis. Pakistānas Kašmiras asiņainā vasara Drīz būs apritējuši divi mēneši, kopš Pakistānas kontrolēto Kašmiras daļu satricina masu protesti ar vardarbīgām sadursmēm starp protestētājiem un valdības spēkiem. Pašreizējo notikumu vēsturiskās saknes sniedzas 80 gadus senā pagātnē, kad beidza pastāvēt Britu Indijas koloniālie valdījumi, un to vietā radās divas neatkarīgas valstis – Indija un Pakistāna. To robežas noteica pirmām kārtām reliģiskā piederība, Indijā dominējot hinduismam, savukārt Pakistānā – islāmam. Autonomā Džammu un Kašmiras radžas valsts toreizējās Britu Indijas ziemeļos bija reliģiski jaukta teritorija, kuras valdītājs mēģināja izveidot neatkarīgu valsti. Šis projekts neguva vietējo iedzīvotāju atsaucību, sākās sacelšanās, notika Pakistānas un Indijas spēku intervence, un šīs karadarbības rezultātā Džammu un Kašmira izrādījās sadalīta starp Indiju un Pakistānu. ANO rezolūcija nosaka, ka būtu rīkojams referendums par teritorijas nākotni, taču līdz šim tāds nav sarīkots un diezin vai arī notiks. Pašreizējie nemieri aptver daļu no Pakistānas kontrolētās Kašmiras – tā dēvēto Brīvo Džammu un Kašmiru, autonomu teritoriju kādreizējās radžas valsts dienvidrietumos; faktiski – šauru robežjoslu starp Indijas kontrolēto daļu un Pakistānas pamatteritoriju. Jau praktiski kopš šīs administratīvās vienības izveides pagājušā gadsimta vidū teritorijas iedzīvotāji nav bijuši mierā ar to, kā šo tālo valsts nomali pārvalda centrālā vara Islamabadā. Pašreizējo domstarpību galvenais cēlonis ir autonomijas likumdevēju sapulces ievēlēšanas kārtība. Divpadsmit no 45 deputātu vietām tajā rezervētas deputātiem, kurus ievēl nevis vietējie iedzīvotāji, bet Džammu un Kašmiras bēgļi, kuri pametuši Indijas kontrolēto daļu un apmetušies dažādās Pakistānas vietās. 2023. gadā dibinātā sabiedriskā kustība Džammu-Kašmiras Apvienotā sabiedriskā rīcības komiteja pieprasa šo sistēmu likvidēt kā manipulatīvu un vēlētāju gribu kropļojošu. 5. jūnijā komiteja tika pasludināta par teroristisku organizāciju, kuru atbalsta Indija, un aizliegta. Vairāki tās līderi arestēti, par citu uzrādīšanu izsludināta paliela naudas prēmija. Pāris dienas vēlāk tiesa atzina bēgļu kvotu sistēmu par atbilstošu Pakistānas konstitūcijai un, attiecīgi, saglabājamu jūlijā paredzētajās vēlēšanās. Autonomijā sākās masu protesti, kas drīz vien pārauga sadursmēs ar policijas spēkiem, kuru rezultātā, kā lēš, šobrīd dzīvību zaudējuši vismaz četrdesmit cilvēki. Notiek streiki, tiek bloķētas transporta maģistrāles, kas ietekmē teritorijas ekonomisko un sociālo dzīvi. Vēlēšanas tika sadalītas trīs posmos, no kuriem divi – 27. jūlijā un 2. augustā – jau notikuši, trešais plānots 10. augustā. Sekojot sabiedriskās rīcības komitejas aicinājumam, daudzi vēlētāji boikotē vēlēšanas, attiecīgi ievēlēto mandātu leģitimitāte var būt apšaubāma. Migranti atkal nāk! Jūlija beigās Spānijai piederošajā Ziemeļāfrikas pilsētā Seutā izveidojās viena no lielākajām migrācijas krīzēm Eiropas Savienībā pēdējo gadu laikā. Dažās dienās robežu no Marokas šķērsoja desmitiem tūkstošu cilvēku, lielākoties jauni marokāņi, kuri centās nokļūt Eiropas Savienības teritorijā. Migranti robežu šķērsoja pa sauszemi, pārvarot robežas infrastruktūru, vai peldus gar piekrastes aizsargbarjerām. Spānijas iestādes ziņo, ka šobrīd lielākā daļa šo cilvēku jau ir atgriezušies Marokā, tomēr vairāki tūkstoši joprojām uzturas Seutā, radot nopietnu slogu pilsētas uzņemšanas un sociālās palīdzības sistēmām. Seuta kopā ar Melilju ir Spānijai piederošās teritorijas Ziemeļāfrikā, kur atrodas vienīgā Eiropas Savienības sauszemes robeža ar kādu Āfrikas valsti. Spānija ieguva šos atbalsta punktus otrpus Vidusjūrai 16. gadsimtā, taču Maroka, kopš no Francijas un Spānijas dubutprotektorāta 1956. gadā kļuva par neatkarīgu valsti, uzskata to par savu suverēno teritoriju. Nu jau gadiem Seuta un Melilja ir viens no galvenajiem nelegālās migrācijas maršrutiem uz Eiropu. Pēdējā masveida robežas šķērsošana notika 2021. gada maijā, pēc tam, kad Maroka atviegloja robežkontroli. Šī Marokas puses rīcība sakrita ar diplomātisko strīdu ar Spāniju, kad pēdējā atļāva iebraukt Rietumsahāras neatkarības kustības „Polisario Fronte” līderim Brahimam Gali, lai ārstētos pret Covid-19. Rietumsahāra arī ir bijušais Spānijas koloniālais valdījums, kura lielāko daļu šobrīd kontrolē Maroka, taču teritorijas starptautiskais statuss paliek nedefinēts. Šoreiz masveida cilvēku kustību, pēc Spānijas amatpersonu un mediju vēstītā, veicināja sociālajos tīklos izplatīta maldinoša informācija, ka robeža ir atvērta un migrantiem būs viegli iegūt uzturēšanās tiesības Spānijā. Varasiestādes uzsver, ka šīs ziņas neatbilst patiesībai. Izskanējuši pieņēmumi, ka robežkontroles vājināšanos no Marokas puses arī šoreiz ietekmējis saspīlējums abu valstu attiecībās. Krīzes laikā vairāki cilvēki gājuši bojā, cenšoties sasniegt Seutu pa jūru vai šķērsojot robežbarjeras. Spānija pastiprinājusi drošības pasākumus un sadarbojas ar Maroku, lai novērstu jaunus masveida robežas šķērsošanas mēģinājumus. Vienlaikus Eiropas Savienībā atsākusies diskusija par ārējo robežu aizsardzību, migrācijas politiku un dalībvalstu savstarpējo solidaritāti. Izskanējuši pat aicinājumi ierobežot Šengenas vīzu sistēmas darbību Spānijā. Paredzams, ka tuvākajā laikā jautājums par situāciju Seutā būs viens no svarīgākajiem migrācijas politikas tematiem gan Spānijā, gan citur Eiropas Savienībā. Tramps turpina nest mieru pasaulei Jūlija beigās ASV prezidents Donalds Tramps paziņoja, ka panākta principiāla vienošanās par palestīniešu grupējuma „Hamās” pakāpenisku atbruņošanos Gazas joslā. Pēc Trampa teiktā, vienošanās paredz „Hamās” smagā bruņojuma nodošanu un militārās infrastruktūras likvidēšanu, kam sekotu pakāpeniska Izraēlas karaspēka izvešana no Gazas, starptautiski uzraudzīta drošības mehānisma izveide un teritorijas atjaunošanas darbi. Vienlaikus abas konfliktā iesaistītās puses uzsvērušas, ka vairāki būtiski jautājumi vēl nav atrisināti, tādēļ vienošanās īstenošana pagaidām nav garantēta. „Hamās” amatpersonas apstiprinājušas gatavību apspriest pakāpenisku atbruņošanos, tomēr norādījušas, ka tas būs iespējams tikai tad, ja Izraēla pilnībā ievēros pamiera nosacījumus, pārtrauks militārās operācijas un sāks karaspēka atvilkšanu. Savukārt Izraēlas premjerministrs Benjamins Netanjahu paziņojis, ka Izraēla neatkāpsies no mērķa pilnībā likvidēt „Hamās” militārās spējas un iznīcināt tās pazemes tuneļu infrastruktūru, uzsverot, ka drošības garantijas ir priekšnoteikums jebkādas turpmākas politiskās vienošanās īstenošanai Gazā. Vairākas Tuvo Austrumu valstis, tai skaitā Ēģipte, Katara un Turcija, paudušas cerību, ka vienošanās varētu pavērt ceļu ilgstošākam mieram un Gazas atjaunošanai. Vienlaikus starptautiskie novērotāji uzsver, ka vienošanās panākumi būs atkarīgi no abu pušu spējas ievērot uzņemtās saistības un pārtraukt karadarbību. Situācija pašā Gazas joslā joprojām saglabājas ļoti sarežģīta. Neraugoties uz diplomātiskajiem centieniem, Izraēla turpina triecienus par Gazas teritoriju, un palestīniešu amatpersonas ziņo par jauniem bojāgājušajiem un ievainotajiem. Liela daļa Gazas iedzīvotāju joprojām ir pārvietoti, humānās palīdzības piegādes ir nepietiekamas, joprojām pastāv pārtikas, ūdens un medicīnisko resursu trūkums. Tādēļ, lai gan Trampa paziņojums radījis cerības uz konflikta noregulējumu, reālā situācija Gazā pagaidām liecina, ka ceļš līdz stabilam mieram vēl nebūt nav tik taisns un saulains, kādu to savos izteikumos zīmē Baltā nama saimnieks.

Editor – Payton Koch For Avatar: The Last Airbender editor Payton Koch, this job offered a very different kind of editorial challenge from his Emmy-nominated work on Only Murders in the Building. The series has to move between large-scale action, visual effects, martial arts, comedy, mythology and coming-of-age drama, often within the same sequence. It also has to satisfy a fanbase that knows this world extremely well while still making the story accessible to viewers coming to it for the first time. Based on the Nickelodeon series created by Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko, Avatar: The Last Airbender is set in a world divided into four nations — Water, Earth, Fire and Air — where certain people can "bend," or control, one of those elements. At the center of the story is Aang, the last surviving Air Nomad and the next Avatar, the one person capable of mastering all four elements and restoring balance to a world at war. Season Two takes Aang, Katara and Sokka deeper into the Earth Kingdom as they search for an earthbending teacher and make their way toward Ba Sing Se, the massive, heavily fortified capital of the Earth Kingdom. Along the way, the series expands its world with new allies, new enemies and a larger sense of the political and emotional cost of the Fire Nation's war. PAYTON KOCH Payton Koch is an Emmy-nominated picture editor with a diverse range of post-production credits on popular television series, including American Horror Story, Ratched and Only Murders in the Building. His work on the Hulu comedy series Only Murders in the Building earned him multiple ACE Eddie Award nominations, as well as his first Primetime Emmy nomination in 2024. His additional credits include American Crime Story, The Politician, Home Before Dark, Just Beyond and The Boys in the Band.   Visit ExtremeMusic for all your production audio needs.

The crew goes live with a fancy new camera setup and immediately loses the plot over Coral's high-fidelity vampire rankings and a thorough breakdown of the pop culture wedding of the century. Between mourning a prolific pet opossum hunter, dragging the live-action Avatar continuation, and marveling at a highly specific superhero video game skin, this episode turns into a hilarious celebration of pride, pageantry, and questionable cinematic tastes. This Week's Insanity:Bane's Reckoning: The crew welcomes back the ashes of Bane, a legendary pet honored with a custom urn inscribed "Born in the Darkness" to commemorate her relentless opossum-hunting career. The Giga-Wedding: A deep dive into Taylor Swift's high-security Madison Square Garden wedding, featuring checked phones, an indoor forest, and Lena Dunham making an uncomfortable toast about football players. The "Catching Kelce" Throwback: Joe and Jeff reminisce about working on the short-lived E! reality dating show Catching Kelce, recalling a young Travis Kelce being asked a classic game of "Mary, Kiss, Kill". Avatar Outrage: Coral goes completely off on season two of Netflix's live-action Avatar, slamming the writers for a lack of character development and for creating unapproved side quests for Zuko and Katara. America's Bulge: The gang loses their minds over a patriotic new Marvel Rivals skin that features Captain America in a wrestling singlet, complete with explicit, un-nerfed jiggle physics on a paddle boat. The C*nty Vampire Rankings: Coral sets the record straight on the ultimate hierarchy of theatrical bloodsuckers, crowning Sam Reed's Lestat as the absolute peak while dismissing Edward Cullen as a total "bitch baby". Loose, chaotic, and deeply cinematic — this episode is what happens when you let the conversation alternate between classic literature and video game anatomy. New episodes every week.Only at Revenge Of — where the cameras are fancy, and the vampires are sophisticated.

Unser Ersteindruck zur zweiten Staffel Sakrileg oder gelungene Neuinterpretation?: Mit "Avatar: Der Herr der Elemente" hat Netflix eine der beliebtesten Animationsserien aller Zeiten als Live-Action-Serie neu aufgelegt. Während viele Fans dem Projekt zunächst skeptisch gegenüberstanden, konnte die Netflix-Adaption deutlich mehr Zuspruch gewinnen als die erste Realverfilmung des Stoffes von 2010. Am 25. Juni startet nun die mit Spannung erwartete zweite Staffel beim Streamingdienst und führt die Geschichte des jungen Avatars Aang fort. Nach den Ereignissen der ersten Staffel reist Aang gemeinsam mit Katara und Sokka weiter durch die vom Krieg gezeichnete Welt, um seine Kontrolle über die Elemente zu perfektionieren und die wachsende Bedrohung durch die Feuernation aufzuhalten. Auf ihrer Reise treffen die drei auf neue Verbündete, geraten in politische Intrigen und stellen sich gefährlichen Gegnern, während sich der Konflikt zwischen den Nationen immer weiter zuspitzt. Gleichzeitig rückt die unvermeidliche Konfrontation mit Feuerlord Ozai näher. Unsere Britt-Marie und Dom konnten die ersten Episoden der zweiten Staffel bereits vorab sehen und sprechen im Podcast ausführlich über ihre Eindrücke, die größten Stärken der neuen Folgen und darüber, ob Netflix den Erfolg der ersten Staffel fortsetzen kann.

Meksiko je postao prva reprezentacija koja je osigurala plasman u nokaut fazu Svjetskog nogometnog prvenstva nakon pobjede nad Južnom Korejom osmog dana natjecanja. Istodobno je Kanada ispisala povijest uvjerljivom pobjedom od 6:0 protiv Katara, što je njezina najveća pobjeda na svjetskim prvenstvima. Svoju poziciju dodatno je učvrstila i Švicarska, koja je svladala Bosnu i Hercegovinu rezultatom 4:1.

It's serious-mode time as Jen hosts our episode on S03E16: The Southern Raiders. Katara's quest for vengeance sparks our contemplation on the nature of forgiveness, closure, and justice. This episode was recorded on August 29, 2021. This episode was edited by Nic.

On this episode of Pilot Season Cartoon Edition, hosts Kinte, Renee, Jen, John, and Allen break down the pilot episode of Avatar: The Last Airbender, “The Boy in the Iceberg,” which originally aired on February 21, 2005.   In this opening episode, Katara and Sokka discover a mysterious boy frozen in an iceberg. That boy is Aang, a young Airbender with a powerful destiny. As the siblings learn more about him, it becomes clear that Aang is no ordinary kid — he is the long-lost Avatar, the one person capable of mastering all four elements and bringing balance to a world at war. The episode sets the stage for an epic journey filled with adventure, danger, and destiny, while also introducing the heart, humor, and mythology that made the series a classic.    Podcast airdate: 5/20/26   #AvatarTheLastAirbender #PilotSeasonCartoonEdition #TheBoyInTheIceberg   John 9.9 Allen 8 Jen 10 Kinte 9 Renee 10 Total: 38.9   Brief history  Avatar: The Last Airbender was created by Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko for Nickelodeon and premiered in 2005. The series was developed as an American animated fantasy adventure inspired by anime, East Asian art, martial arts traditions, and elemental mythology. Produced by Nickelodeon Animation Studio, the show stood out because it combined action, humor, deep world-building, and serialized storytelling in a way that was rare for children's animation at the time. The series is set in a world divided into four nations — Water, Earth, Fire, and Air — where certain people can bend their element. At the center of the story is Aang, the long-lost Avatar, who must master all four elements and bring balance to a world being torn apart by war. Across its run, the show earned praise for its animation, character development, emotional storytelling, and strong voice cast, and it became one of the most respected animated series of its era. Main cast and who they played Zach Tyler Eisen — Aang Mae Whitman — Katara Jack DeSena — Sokka Dante Basco — Prince Zuko Jessie Flower — Toph Beifong

Today we’re talking Chapters 50-52,”The Western Air Temple”, “The Firebending Masters”, & “The Boiling Rock, Part 1”. Hosts for this podcast: Dylan, Jeff, & Ben.

O le fafine Samaria i le faitauga mai le Tusi Paia o le asō, na avea ma fai evagelia i le taimi na fetaia'i ai ma le malamalama. Na alu atu o ia i lona nuu ma tāla'i atu i tagata uma e omai e vā'ai i le malamalama. E lē mafai ona e maua le malamalama ma nanā i lalo o le mea e fua a'i saito (Mataio 5:15).O le malamalama ua lē na o faamanuiaga ma vavega na te momoli maia; e sau fo'i ma galuega ma tiute fai. Ina ua uma ona fa'asa'oloto le tagata ululeaga o Katara i le Mareko 5;2-20, na ave i ai e Iesu se galuega e fai, o le ta'u ma faamatala i isi tagata e uiga i le vavega na faia e Iesu mo ia. E le mafai ona sau se uso i le malamalama ae fa'aauau pea ona ola i se olaga fa'asamasamanoa. I le malamalama e tatau lava ona e faataunuuina le finagalo o le Atua. Ina ua uma le fa'asa'olotoina o le tagata faavalevalea, na alu atu o ia i nofoaga uma ma tāla'i atu i tagata, “O a'u o se tagata sa leaga le ulu ma mau i tuugamau, peita'i na ma fetaia'i ma le malamalama, ma avea ai nei a'u ma fai evagelia.” Na faapena fo'i ina ua maua Peteru e le malamalama, na avea o ia ma fai faiva o tagata. Ina ua o'o Paulo i totonu o le malamalama mamalu lenei na avea o ia ma misionare lauiloa, na tala'iina le talalelei i soosemea. E lē mafai ona e sau i le malamalama ae tumau le nofonofovale. O le malamalama e faamalosi'auina tagata e o atu i le lalolagi ma lauga le talalelei i tagata uma lava (Mareko 16:15).Le au pele e, soosemea e te alu i ai, e finagalo le Atua ia e fa'asusulu atu lona malamalama.

In August 2004, 21-year-old Katara Deboise Johnson finished her shift as an assistant manager at Taco Bell in Taylor, Texas, and drove home to her mobile home on North Dolan Street. By the following evening, her grandmother would discover her shot to death inside her bedroom.Her car was missing. Her cell phone was gone. Hours after her death, someone answered her phone and claimed to be Katara before laughter echoed in the background and the call disconnected.Her maroon Mitsubishi Lancer was later found abandoned at the Thorndale Community Pool in neighboring Milam County, miles from her home. No weapon was recovered. No signs of forced entry were reported. More than 50 people were interviewed. Polygraphs were administered. The Texas Rangers and Department of Public Safety assisted. Still, no arrests have been made.In the months that followed, frustration grew. Family members publicly questioned whether enough resources were being devoted to the case. The NAACP launched its own inquiry. Katara's sister Kenyatta revealed she had been questioned as a possible suspect, something she strongly denied. Police have never publicly named a suspect.Years passed. Her mother died in 2012 without answers. In 2019, the Williamson County Sheriff's Office took over the investigation. Authorities now believe more than one person may know what happened that night, particularly how Katara's car ended up in Thorndale.If you have any information about the murder of Katara Debois Johnson, please contact Texas Crime Stoppers at (800) 346-3243.You can support Gone Cold and listen to the show ad-free at https://patreon.com/gonecoldpodcast Find us at https://www.gonecold.comFor Gone Cold merch, visit https://gonecold.dashery.comFollow Gone Cold on Facebook, Instagram, Threads, TikTok, YouTube, and X.

I le suafa e sili i suafa uma lava, amata loa ona e savali i le manumalo. O le asō, ou te fia talanoa i ni auala e mafai ai ona faasaolotina se tagata ma savali faifai pea ma le saoloto. E ui e leai se tupe e totogia mo le faasolotoga mai sauaga a satani, ae e iai lava lona tau. O le tau muamua mo le savali ma le saoloto, o le lafoai atoatoa o lou ola ia Iesu Keriso. E ui na tele tausaga na sauaina ai le tamaloa mai le tuugamau i Katara, na ia lafoai lona ola ia Iesu. Na ia naunau e fia saoloto, ma o le aso na ia vaai ai i Lē e mafai ona faasaolotina o ia, na ia tamoe i luma, lafoai lona ola ia te ia ma ia maua loa le faamalologa (Mareko 5:1-20). E faapena foi la pe afai e tuuina lou ola ia Iesu ae o loo e fia savali i le saolotoga. E lē mafai ona e nofo i le togalauapiga a le tiapolo ae ete manatu e mafai ona e saoloto mai saisaitiaga, e lē mafai ona e toilalo i faaosoosoga ma e manatu e alu ese le tiapolo mai ia te oe. O tagata e taaalo i le agasala e lalata iai temoni ma o nei temoni e o mai ma aumai soo se saisaitiaga. I le faitauga mai le Tusi Paia o le asō, na faamaloloina e Iesu se tagata na iai sona ma'i mo le 38 tausaga. O le tiapolo ma lona malosiaga sa i tua o lenei ma'i tumau ma na matua faatigaina ai o ia. Ina ua maea ona faamaloloina e Iesu, ua tatou iloa ai le mafuaaga na maua ai le avanoa o le tiapolo e saisaitia lenei tagata, o le agasala. Ina ua maea ona faamaloloina, na fetalai iai Iesu e ‘aua nei toe agasala, ne‘i o‘o atu ‘iā te ia se leaga e sili i lenā ( Ioane 5:14). Afai e toe foi se tagata na faasaolotoina mai temoni e fai le agasala na tuu avanoa ai muamua i le tiapolo, e sili atu le leaga o le a oo iai nai lo le muamua (Luka 11:24-26).

Afai o le ai tele na tatala ai le faitotoa i temoni o le ai tele i le olaga o se tagata, e tatau i lea tagata ona tapuni le faitotoa pe a faasaolotoina, ina ia tumau ai. Le au pele e, ua maea totogi e Iesu le tau o lou saolotoga peitai o lau matafaioi, o le tumau ai i lea saolotoga. Afai e iai se uiga agasala e te fiafia e fai faalilolilo e ono tatala ai le faitotoa mo sauaga a le tiapolo, ole atu i le Atua ia faasaoloto oe ma saili fesoasoani mai se auauna moni a le Atua, i le suafa o Iesu, Amene.

E ulufia e temoni se tagata, o mea uma i lona olaga o le a aafia i se tulaga leaga. O tagata e uluitinoina e temoni e matua sauā, e oo ina latou sauāina i latou lava, e pei ona tatou vaai iai i le faitauga mai le Tusi Paia. Peitai, tusa poo le a le leaga ua oo iai lea tagata, e mafai ona faasaolotoina o ia e ala i tatalo ma le Upu a le Atua. E pau fetalaiga a Iesu, ua na o ni nai upu, ona faasaolotoina lea o le tamaloa mai le tuugamau i Katara mai lekeono o temoni na uluitinoina o ia. E leai se mea faigata e le mafai e le Atua ona foia (Ieremia 32:27). E le tilotilo ni temoni i le tulaga o le tagata i le atunuu, aoaoga poo le tamaoaiga tau tupe, e pule faitalia lava i latou i le aofaiga o temoni o le a faaaogaina. Mo se faataitaiga, o le tamaloa mai Katara, sa uluitinoina e le faitau afe o temoni.

E iai se taimi, sa iai se tagata ua amata talaia ona noataga, ua tei i le tamoe i fafo ma alaga, ‘fesoasoani mai ia te au, ua aumaia e latou se tagata leaga ma te nonofo'. E ui e lei faasaolotoina atoatoa lenei tagata, ae ua ee i le fefe ina ua fetaiai ma seisi tagata o loo uluitinoina foi e temoni. Na oo ina faasaolotoina i laua uma mai saisaitiaga a le tiapolo. Poo le a lava le tulaga ua uluitinoina ai se tagata e temoni, e mafai e le Atua Silisili Ese ona faasaoloto ia te ia aua e leai se mea e lē mafaia e ia (Luka 1:37). E tele tala i le Tusi Paia na faasaoloto ai e Iesu tagata mai sauaga a le tiapolo i le fetalai tau lava o se upu.

(0:02:58) Kev: What wasn’t fun was the kind of the bookends, the start and the beginning of this. (0:03:06) Kev: So, as I was leaving, I was bringing my own personal laptop because, you know, I might need it for something or wanted to do stuff with it. (0:03:16) Kev: And then I soon discovered that it wasn’t charging. (0:03:22) Kev: At first I thought I was the charger, that wasn’t working, then I thought it was the (0:03:26) Kev: port, but it wasn’t charging with another, the original charger which is a different (0:03:31) Kev: kind of port. (0:03:34) Kev: Long story short, I think my personal computer is dead. (0:03:37) Al: Oh, no. (0:03:40) Kev: So I have to get that repaired, I don’t know if it’s a battery thing or whatever, but I (0:03:45) Kev: would like that fixed because I have things on there including my other audacity and recordings, (0:03:52) Kev: that’s my usual recording computer. (0:03:57) Kev: Next, and also that explains the chromium audio quality coming from me today because I have (0:04:04) Kev: my microphone, but it’s a USB-A connector and the computer I’m using right now is only (0:04:12) Kev: USB-C ports because of the brilliant design of course I guess, and I don’t have a dongle (0:04:18) Kev: or adapter or whatever, so I’m just using standard laptop recording. (0:04:24) Kev: So yeah, sorry about that. (0:04:26) Kev: Folks. So that happened. That was not fun. I’m gonna address that. So the trip back, that was, that was something because the plane left or it was a, I had one layover in Los Angeles. (0:04:48) Kev: So my first flight left like at 6 p.m. San Diego time and it was only not even a full house. (0:04:57) Kev: I had a half hour to get to Los Angeles. So I was there by 7 p.m. or whatever, let’s just say, but then my, the other flight left at 11 p.m. So I was in the airport doing not much of anything for four hours. (0:05:10) Al: Yeah, always fun. (0:05:15) Kev: The fun part is, so we left at 11 p.m., right? And I’m traveling west to east so the time jumps gets weird and we had daylight savings time. (0:05:27) Al: Oh, just to make even more confusing. (0:05:27) Kev: So, yup. So my flight left at like 11 p.m. I arrived today at 7 a.m. but it was only a four hour flight. So you do the math. (0:05:42) Al: Well, I don’t I don’t think I want to do the maths on that, to be honest. (0:05:43) Kev: I, I, I’m, I think literally, yeah, yeah, yeah, literally. (0:05:47) Al: It was it was bad enough. It was bad enough trying to figure out what time it would be (0:05:51) Al: for you today when we’re recording it. What is normal time for me? (0:05:56) Kev: I lost, like the flight was half the time of the time change. Like it’s bad. I almost left four hours, but I landed eight hours later. (0:06:07) Kev: So I’m, it’s, I’m tired, my feet in pain from walking and all that. I’m kind of all beat up. So yeah, not a lot of games because of that. (0:06:19) Kev: I got in a game of Snap here or there, but not, not that much, you know, but what I did get to see on the way, on the flight too. (0:06:26) Kev: I got to watch a couple movies because it’s a longish flight (0:06:32) Kev: The first one was John wick chapter 4 (0:06:35) Kev: Have you watched the John wick movies? (0:06:37) Al: I have, yes, yes I have. I didn’t watch them for a long time because I was like, “Ugh, (0:06:38) Kev: Okay, um, so (0:06:43) Al: just another action film.” And then I watched the first one and was like, “Oh no, this (0:06:44) Kev: Yeah (0:06:47) Al: is, this is not just, this is like, I don’t, I don’t know why nobody told me before I watched (0:06:47) Kev: Yeah (0:06:53) Al: them that they were satire. Like, they’re fantastic, they’re so good.” (0:06:55) Kev: Yeah, oh, yeah, they’re incredible, right? (0:07:01) Kev: So, yeah, a big fan of the WIC series. (0:07:05) Kev: The fourth one, I think, is the weakest entry in the whole thing. (0:07:10) Kev: I feel like so obviously they’re just thinly veiled excuses for, you know, (0:07:17) Kev: gun cottas and choreography and stuff, right? (0:07:21) Kev: Like, I get that. (0:07:22) Kev: but even even by (0:07:25) Kev: those standards like I don’t know the plot here just wasn’t wasn’t doing it (0:07:29) Kev: for me right like John’s motivations didn’t line up like he was supposed to (0:07:35) Kev: go out and and kill the the 12 members of the table or whatever he killed only (0:07:40) Kev: the one guy I don’t know but anyways the the action was good of course I feel (0:07:48) Kev: like the most ridiculous of the the series which is you know a lot but cuz (0:07:53) Kev: We I don’t know why we have guns (0:07:55) Kev: Japanese bows and arrows and samurai swords, but we do because it’s cool. I guess but (0:08:02) Kev: But yeah, I don’t know. It just feels like (0:08:06) Kev: Even by John Wick’s changes. There are a few places that just kind of went a little over the top (0:08:11) Kev: Or maybe it’s just a little fatigue from seeing the other three entries or whatever. I don’t know (0:08:17) Kev: But I mean overall it was good. I’m not I’m not trying to berate it too much just probably my least favorite of the (0:08:24) Kev: The entire series (0:08:25) Kev: And hey, it’s Keanu, right? Like I was happy to see that and I love his his, you know, his his trademark (0:08:33) Kev: Yeah, that he does in every movie like 50% of his lines are just that yeah (0:08:41) Kev: Good old good old Keanu (0:08:45) Kev: Let’s see the other one I watched was A Quiet Place day one (0:08:49) Al: Hmm. (0:08:50) Kev: So I have not seen either of the other quiet place movies. I didn’t know a third one (0:08:55) Kev: came out but I saw it in my life so I was like sure why not. Have you seen quiet place either? (0:09:00) Al: - Yeah, I’ve seen them all, yeah. (0:09:04) Al: Which, I’m just noticing how funny this is (laughs) (0:09:09) Al: because we were having a chat on one of the slacks (0:09:13) Al: about someone claiming that I just watch everything (0:09:16) Al: and then the two series that you’re talking about, (0:09:16) Kev: Yeah, that’ll bring up. Yeah, yeah (0:09:18) Al: I’ve watched both of them, but anyway. (0:09:24) Al: The, I do, I don’t think it’s actually a bad place (0:09:30) Kev: Well, from what I understand, they’re not like, all the stories aren’t directly connected, (0:09:31) Al: to enter the series. (0:09:40) Kev: right? (0:09:40) Al: The first two films are, the second film is very much a direct sequel of the first one but day one is very much a prequel, not connecting directly to individual people, but the concept, yeah, so if you understand the concept of it, then yeah, but… (0:09:41) Kev: They’re different. (0:09:43) Kev: They are? (0:09:44) Kev: Oh gosh, that doesn’t, oh, nevermind then. (0:09:52) Kev: Okay. (0:09:53) Kev: Right. (0:09:54) Kev: Mhm. (0:09:55) Kev: Okay. (0:09:56) Kev: Sure. (0:09:57) Kev: Sure. (0:09:58) Kev: Sure. (0:09:59) Kev: Sure. (0:10:01) Kev: Yeah. (0:10:02) Kev: I do. (0:10:03) Kev: Yeah. (0:10:04) Kev: Yeah. (0:10:05) Kev: And then, you know, it’s not a terribly hard concept. (0:10:06) Kev: So, yeah. (0:10:07) Kev: Yeah. (0:10:08) Kev: I was familiar with that. (0:10:09) Kev: So, um, I don’t know, like, obviously I can’t compare it to the first two, I haven’t seen (0:10:12) Kev: them, but they, this one felt like a little, they were forcing it a little too much, right? (0:10:21) Kev: Like we, we, we’ve already got a cancer patient, right? (0:10:24) Kev: So, you know, they’re already trying to tug at the, the heartstrings or whatever. (0:10:29) Kev: and then you have a dank. (0:10:30) Kev: In this movie it looks like my cat, which caused my anxiety to spike so much, because the cat in that movie looks a lot like my cat, or one of my cats. (0:10:41) Kev: And of course what they can do, they’re going to keep putting it in danger. (0:10:48) Kev: But yeah, a lot of it was very heavy handed in how it was trying to raise the stakes. (0:11:02) Kev: But overall, not a bad film. (0:11:05) Kev: Yeah, I think there are a few moments where it’s a little questionable, like I don’t know why this character did this or whatever, but overall pretty fine. (0:11:19) Kev: Yeah, I don’t have much else to say, I liked it overall though. (0:11:26) Kev: Um, but that’s what I’ve got going on for me. What about you? What’s going on? (0:11:32) Al: Yeah, I’ve also not done a huge amount of gaming. This week has been busy, busy. Obviously (0:11:37) Al: I’ve been playing Pixel Cross Rune Factory for the episode. And I did a bit of raids (0:11:40) Kev: I did too. Great. Shadow Legend. Oh. [laughs] (0:11:45) Al: in Scarlet and Violet this weekend. And obviously I’m continuing on Pokemon Go every day. Yeah, (0:11:56) Al: that’s probably about it games-wise. I did watch the first two episodes of the new Daredevil (0:12:01) Al: Born Again series. (0:12:02) Kev: due to how are they do tell me (0:12:03) Al: There’s that I very much enjoyed the right word. (0:12:09) Al: I very much thought I thought there were I thought they were good. (0:12:12) Kev: I thought they were shows (0:12:13) Al: There was a couple of no, no, no, it’s more a case of I can’t say much (0:12:18) Al: without spoiling it, but there’s this stuff that happens that doesn’t make me (0:12:22) Al: happy, but it’s not meant to make me happy, right? (0:12:25) Kev: okay so mission accomplished that’s not necessarily a bad thing (0:12:27) Al: Yeah, I’m feeling what they want me to feel. (0:12:30) Al: it. Yeah, it’s (0:12:31) Kev: I don’t like the feeling. (0:12:32) Al: the. (0:12:35) Kev: OK. (0:12:36) Kev: What is the plot? (0:12:38) Kev: Because I don’t know any– (0:12:39) Kev: I haven’t heard anything about the specifics. (0:12:42) Al: Have you seen the the Netflix series? (0:12:42) Kev: What is– I have not, but I know enough about it, I think. (0:12:47) Al: I mean, the overall idea of the series is this is the Fisk is Mayor one, so, which they’ve (0:12:58) Kev: » Okay. Sure. (0:13:00) Al: done in comics before, I’m sure I know I’ve kind of seen some things about it, but that’s (0:13:05) Al: the kind of overall something happens at the beginning of the first episode that leads (0:13:10) Al: to Daredevil stopping. (0:13:12) Al: being Daredevil, and then Fist becomes Mayor, and now we’re a little bit further on, and (0:13:18) Al: now Matt wants to be Daredevil again, or doesn’t want to be Daredevil again. (0:13:22) Al: But you know what I mean? (0:13:23) Al: Like, it’s forced into being Daredevil again because of things that happen. (0:13:23) Kev: yeah yeah okay uh okay then you know that’s fine I guess but okay well fisk is mayor okay that that’s (0:13:29) Al: It’s hard to say much without spoiling the episodes, right? (0:13:36) Kev: the elevator picture I was looking for um okay here’s a question where does this fit into the (0:13:42) Kev: timeline like with she-ho because that’s the one i’m actually seeing with the good old man in any (0:13:46) Al: Yeah, it’s a good question. They don’t directly tie it in, but I think as far as I can tell (0:13:55) Al: it’s She-Hulk and then a little while later Echo happens and then a little while later (0:14:01) Al: this happens. They directly reference Echo happening in the past. Yeah, they don’t directly (0:14:02) Kev: Okay. Okay. (0:14:13) Al: reference the racist. (0:14:16) Al: that’s, I think it’s happened in the past, but not sure. Like just in terms of like (0:14:20) Kev: Okay (0:14:23) Al: just general MCU continuity, right? (0:14:25) Kev: Mm-hmm, um, okay that that’s interesting because I haven’t seen echo (0:14:32) Al: Echos, well, okay, I really enjoyed Echos. I thought it was very good. Yeah. (0:14:35) Kev: Okay (0:14:38) Kev: Okay, I mean no no like I believe it just I’m thinking just like cuz you know (0:14:43) Kev: obviously I feel like there’s a lot of important context because you know with the (0:14:48) Kev: the end of Hawkeye you get some kingpin and (0:14:50) Kev: then you got Echo and She-Hulk, so I’m just, yup, yeah he is and that’s fine cause it’s (0:14:51) Al: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, he’s he’s popping up in a lot of things, (0:14:56) Al: isn’t he? (0:14:59) Kev: a great portrayal, but you know just context wise like how do I, I missed a few chapters (0:15:04) Al: I would watch Echo, I think it’s worth watching Echo. Not necessarily for Daredevil, (0:15:05) Kev: in how we got here. (0:15:10) Kev: I watch Hawkeye, yes. (0:15:16) Al: I don’t think it really does a huge amount for Daredevil, but it does for Fisk. I think (0:15:18) Kev: Yeah (0:15:21) Kev: Okay (0:15:22) Al: it’s important for Fisk’s story. (0:15:24) Kev: Okay, okay, that makes sense is Kate Bishop in it Kate Bishop in any of this oh (0:15:30) Al: has not been yet. I also like Kate Bishop. Yeah, there were some rumours that her stepdad, (0:15:32) Kev: But I like Kate Bishop specific (0:15:36) Kev: Specifically this one. What’s her name Haley Seinfeld? Yes (0:15:44) Al: what’s his name? I can’t remember his name. Yeah, there were some rumours that he’s going to appear (0:15:46) Kev: Oh the the sword guy (0:15:48) Kev: Oh (0:15:51) Al: in this series. But we’ll see. (0:15:52) Kev: Okay, uh-huh that’d be interesting I don’t remember his name is he supposed to be a sword master I don’t know whatever um (0:16:00) Al: I think he’s kind of loosely based on that idea, but he’s not actually. He’s just a bozo. (0:16:04) Kev: Yeah, yeah (0:16:06) Kev: Yeah, that’s that’s the feeling I get (0:16:10) Kev: Well, you know, you know, I don’t even need Kate Bishop specific. I just want more Haley Seinfeld in my life (0:16:16) Al: Well, well, yeah, there is that. Yeah, I would be surprised if we don’t get her in the next (0:16:18) Kev: There is that (0:16:23) Al: two years in something. I guess, is that cheating? Because in two years, we’ve got secret wars, (0:16:25) Kev: I mean, yeah. Well, you know what? (0:16:30) Al: and if we don’t get anybody, if someone doesn’t appear in secret wars, (0:16:34) Al: they’re basically dead, right? Like, they’re not going to be in anything again. (0:16:36) Kev: I was look I was I was about to say with at the current state of the mcu (0:16:42) Kev: it’s a kind of a 50/50 on that question for almost anyone (0:16:46) Al: I don’t think, I don’t think Kate Bishop was badly received at all. Like, there are some characters (0:16:56) Kev: yeah (0:16:57) Al: that I could see them just, like, I would be really sad if she helped never appears again, (0:17:01) Al: but I would understand based on, you know, the internet. But I didn’t see anything about that with (0:17:02) Kev: yes (0:17:06) Kev: yeah (0:17:09) Kev: yeah yeah no i’m here’s the thing like my point is it feel like in such a (0:17:15) Kev: directionless disarray I don’t even think that’s a factor like what (0:17:18) Al: Well, I think I think they’re at the point now where they’re just wrapping up the stories (0:17:27) Al: that they weren’t sure about. And I think they probably have good ideas for what they want to do, (0:17:33) Al: but they need to wrap up what they were doing before they can do that, if that makes sense. (0:17:37) Al: Like it feels like we’re kind of almost like falling towards secret wars because they want (0:17:42) Al: to get it over and done with and then reset into something that they can do the stories (0:17:44) Kev: Yes (0:17:48) Al: they want to. The classic comic book way, right? (0:17:48) Kev: Yeah, yeah, yeah (0:17:53) Kev: Yep, yep, throw away everything cuz we’re not sure anymore is just do the new thing I guess (0:17:59) Al: Yeah, we would like to do our film that lets us have Pedro Pascal (0:18:04) Al: alongside Robert Downey Jr. Please and thank you, move along. (0:18:07) Kev: Yeah, you know, that’s yeah. Ooh, you know, that’s that might be a fair trade-off (0:18:14) Kev: You don’t you won’t get what’s his name? Oh gosh One Direction guy Wow (0:18:20) Al: Oh yeah, Harry Styles, Star Fox. (0:18:23) Kev: Yeah, you’re not I promise you we’re not getting Harry Styles anymore, but we’ll get Pedro Pascal that’s that’s a fair trade-off. Oh (0:18:32) Al: Yeah. Look, the one that boggles my mind that they’ve not brought back is Shang-Chi. (0:18:33) Kev: Oh, man (0:18:38) Al: Why has he not reappeared anywhere? Bizarre. Bizarre to me. Like, that was such a well-received film. (0:18:42) Kev: Yeah (0:18:49) Kev: It was yeah, I mean it but really I mean (0:18:54) Kev: Everything post infinity war like not not not by individual like, you know, obviously there’s been great and highs and lows (0:19:02) Kev: but just like the entire (0:19:04) Kev: idea of their continuity and (0:19:08) Kev: Connectedness has been an absolute mess a train wreck. So I don’t know (0:19:12) Al: It’s really interesting if you look back on release dates. So we had a whole Iron Man trilogy (0:19:13) Kev: You (0:19:15) Kev: Mm-hmm. Yeah (0:19:21) Kev: Yes, right (0:19:21) Al: in five years, 2008 to 2013. It has been nearly four years since Shang-Chi came out. (0:19:25) Kev: Yeah (0:19:29) Kev: Oh sick (0:19:32) Al: So in the time that it has been since Shang-Chi, Iron Man was nearly at its third film. (0:19:40) Kev: Crazy. (0:19:40) Al: Thor had a full trilogy and. (0:19:42) Al: In six years, Captain America had a full trilogy in five years. (0:19:50) Al: Like it’s just, it’s fascinating how slow they are at getting sequels out now. (0:19:50) Kev: Oh, yeah, one of my favorite benchmarks of any time comparison is the US Confederacy, (0:20:02) Al: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Two thousand, yeah. Fun. Fun times. Anyway, uh, I’ve also been watching (0:20:03) Kev: right? (0:20:05) Kev: And we have now a full Confederacy between Shang-Chi appearances. (0:20:13) Kev: Oh, yeah. (0:20:22) Al: Avatar the Last Airbender, so that’s the thing I’m watching through just now. So I have just (0:20:24) Kev: Oh yeah, I forgot about that. (0:20:27) Kev: Mm. (0:20:28) Al: finished season one and I am enjoying it very much so. (0:20:32) Al: Particularly there was a fun, so when they get to the North (0:20:36) Al: Pole, there’s a very fun, Katara has a very fun fight with (0:20:36) Kev: Yep. (0:20:42) Kev: Yep. (0:20:42) Al: someone. I don’t want to say too much, just in case anyone else (0:20:44) Al: is wanting to watch them. It doesn’t want to get spoiled. (0:20:46) Al: That fight is an incredible fight. I love all the different (0:20:50) Al: ideas that they have for that fight. So yeah. (0:20:53) Kev: oh well buckle up buckaroo because one thing they did excellent throughout the entire show (0:21:01) Kev: up to the very end is the choreography um well the fight choreography and direction um it’s all (0:21:09) Kev: stellar um but you know because all the the different earthbending styles are based off real (0:21:15) Kev: life martial arts and whatnot and so they you know they they translate that well but then of (0:21:20) Kev: And of course you have elemental superpowers. (0:21:23) Kev: They translate, they do fun stuff with that sometimes. (0:21:25) Kev: Um… (0:21:27) Kev: But, uh… (0:21:28) Kev: Oh, I am very excited for you. (0:21:31) Kev: Uh, like, y-you’ve seen how good season 1 is. (0:21:34) Al: Yeah, and people well people keep saying it’s the worst season, and I’m like this is the worst my word (0:21:35) Kev: What if I told you… (0:21:38) Kev: Yeah! (0:21:38) Kev: YEAH! (0:21:39) Kev: YEAH! (0:21:40) Kev: YEAH! (0:21:40) Kev: YEAH! (0:21:41) Al: I’m looking forward to what comes next (0:21:41) Kev: YEAH! (0:21:41) Kev: YEAH! (0:21:43) Kev: Yeah, exactly what I was about to say, yeah, I’m glad you’re enjoying it. (0:21:45) Kev: You haven’t seen anything yet, you’ve seen garbage. (0:21:48) Kev: It’s… it’s so good. (0:21:49) Al: The humour in it is very good. It’s stupid for humour, but the comedic timing is what (0:21:50) Kev: Um… (0:21:53) Kev: It’s great. (0:21:56) Kev: Yeah. (0:21:57) Kev: Yeah. (0:22:00) Al: gets it, right? There’s a bit where Katara is pretending to be an earthbender, right? (0:22:00) Kev: Yeah. (0:22:01) Kev: Yeah, it- (0:22:06) Kev: Yeah. (0:22:06) Al: And they do this weird thing where Aang is blowing air through a hole in the ground to (0:22:11) Kev: Yeah. (0:22:13) Al: levitate a rock, and Katara is pretending to do that. (0:22:13) Kev: Yeah. (0:22:14) Kev: Yeah. (0:22:19) Al: The guys look over and they’re like, “Oh, that lemur’s earthbending!” It’s just such (0:22:24) Kev: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, absolutely, you’re right, they are they’re killer with their (0:22:25) Al: a stupid moment, but because of the tension, and they build it up, and the timing, and (0:22:31) Al: that stupid moment is just so funny. (0:22:37) Kev: comedic timing, like in general, because it’s, it’s, it’s wild, because it’s such a serious, (0:22:44) Kev: like, show, right, like, both in terms of the overall plot, and they, they treat that, (0:22:49) Kev: the tone gets very heavy at times, but they still managed to pull off. (0:22:54) Kev: And I think part of it is because they’re stupid 12 year olds, you know, so they’re gonna do dumb stuff. (0:23:00) Al: » Yeah. (0:23:02) Kev: But yeah, oh man, I can’t hurry up and finish it so I can talk to you about my favorite episodes, the dragon dance. (0:23:04) Al: » Yeah. (0:23:10) Al: It will only be another few weeks. (0:23:12) Al: I’ve got these done in three weeks. (0:23:14) Kev: Alright. (0:23:14) Al: So we’ll be done soon. (0:23:16) Kev: Tell me you get to boo me. (0:23:20) Al: Yeah, I think that’s everything. (0:23:22) Al: So that’s what we’ve been up to. (0:23:22) Al: My word. (0:23:24) Al: I thought this was going to be a short episode. (0:23:24) Al: We’re 25 minutes in. (0:23:26) Kev: I’m on- I’m on this show, you know that won’t happen. (0:23:31) Al: - Let’s get through this news. (0:23:32) Al: So first off, desktop cat cafe is out now. (0:23:35) Kev: Okay. (0:23:35) Al: Not much to say about that. (0:23:36) Al: That’s the bottom of the screen cat cafe game, (0:23:38) Kev: The- the- the rusty leg is what I’d say, yeah. (0:23:39) Al: the Rusty Like. (0:23:42) Kev: Um, that’s- (0:23:44) Al: So if you were like, (0:23:45) Al: “Oh, I like the idea of Rusty’s retirement, (0:23:46) Al: but I want it to be cats.” (0:23:49) Al: There you go. (0:23:50) Kev: Yeah, the the cats are kind of I’m still not the whole idea (0:23:55) Kev: I don’t like I’m very on the idea, but the cats are very cute. I will say that (0:24:02) Kev: Yeah, it looks nice. I’m sure it’s a wonderful entry for you rusty. Yeah, it’s right rusty lights. I’m rusty like fans (0:24:13) Kev: I enjoy cute cats (0:24:15) Al: Next we have one lonely outpost have released their 1.0 and are now on switch Xboxes and (0:24:22) Al: PS5. (0:24:24) Kev: Wait, they weren’t already on Switch? (0:24:25) Al: They were not the this is their this is their console release. (0:24:27) Kev: Okay. (0:24:30) Kev: Oh, well, good for them. (0:24:31) Al: The 1.0 is pretty slim. (0:24:33) Al: It’s like yeah this is the 1.0 and it’s like almost all bug fixes. (0:24:38) Kev: Hehehehe, it’s a game! (0:24:40) Al: Which is like probably the right way to do it like I’ve always complained about people (0:24:45) Al: 1.0 and like here’s half the game now because it’s because it just ends up being buggy. (0:24:48) Kev: Yeah. (0:24:50) Al: So this is probably the right way to do it but it’s just really funny saying here’s the (0:24:53) Al: release notes for 1.0 and the only thing that isn’t a bug fix is added four new artifacts (0:24:59) Al: to Sydney’s shop. (0:25:00) Kev: I was about to say like, the amount of content for 1.0 is debatable maybe or a little subjective, (0:25:13) Kev: yada yada, but the one thing, the game should work, right? (0:25:17) Kev: That’s the minimum, so if it’s all just bug fixes to get to that point, I can live with (0:25:22) Kev: that I guess. (0:25:23) Kev: I probably won’t play this game, but you know, good for them. (0:25:26) Al: for sure. (0:25:28) Kev: They crossed a finish line. (0:25:30) Al: Next we have a new DLC for Sprout Valley, it’s the Friends Forever DLC, I think this (0:25:36) Kev: Didn’t expect this I don’t know why I just I don’t know but here we are sprovella dilsen (0:25:42) Al: is what happens when you release a game that costs like a fiver, you sell DLC, 11 new friends (0:25:45) Kev: I guess yeah (0:25:49) Al: that can be found while visiting new islands, each of them has their own gift preferences, (0:25:53) Al: hobbies, unique style, and they’re all different. (0:25:56) Al: They’re all different kinds of creatures from buffaloes to frogs. Each new island’s dweller has a questlet at the end of which await new workspaces, items, and rewards. (0:26:06) Kev: cool. 2-bit or 8-bit Hello Kitty Island adventure, basically. Yeah, no, I’m kidding, I’m kidding, (0:26:12) Al: I it’s not as big as that, not by in no way as it was. (0:26:16) Kev: I know. I know. Yeah, yeah, no. I’m just saying, because I’m looking at one of the, I think (0:26:18) Al: I had fun with the, what, like five hours I played it. (0:26:25) Kev: it looks like a dog. It looks a little like a cinnamon roll. Anyway, it’s still a very (0:26:29) Kev: cute game, no matter what. Good for you Sprout Valley, keep on trucking. (0:26:35) Al: Next, we have Everhome have released a 1.1.0 update. (0:26:40) Al: This adds cooking, and it adds a compendium, tracking discoveries. (0:26:42) Kev: like cooking that’s always a good one feels like it should have been at 1.0 (0:26:48) Al: Yep. (0:26:52) Kev: but mmm true (0:26:52) Al: Yeah, well, as you say, always debatable what these things are. (0:26:58) Al: And they’ve also overhauled their quests and luck systems. (0:27:02) Kev: oh okay that that’s probably good um well I get it you touche (0:27:05) Al: So maybe we’ll see. Who knows? (0:27:13) Al: Firelines have released their 0.4 update, adding relationships into the game. (0:27:18) Kev: oh goody finally now now they’re cottage core oh um (0:27:24) Al: I think you’ll find their space cottage core. Thank you very much. (0:27:33) Kev: yeah I don’t i’m trying to think of a clever name I can’t think of one but here we are oh man (0:27:40) Al: base kedge no i’m not no I should have not but (0:27:46) Kev: Can I rome can I romance aliens do just the cat people boo (0:27:50) Al: I don’t think so (0:27:55) Al: yeah I haven’t seen anything about that anyway (0:27:58) Kev: This should be (0:28:00) Kev: There’s very clearly an alien-looking guy again. I would guess it’s an alien-looking guy (0:28:06) Al: You know what, I think you might be excited about, OK. (0:28:09) Kev: Yeah, the next news item (0:28:11) Al: Mika and the Witches Mountain into the Montgaunt is now available. (0:28:16) Kev: Oh snap this is a reason to come back (0:28:16) Al: This is the as far as we know, as far as we know, (0:28:22) Al: it’s the last update for Mika and the Witches Mountain. (0:28:27) Al: I say as far as we know, just because in the release information, (0:28:31) Al: they’re saying it’s the latest free content patch. (0:28:36) Al: They’re actively saying it’s the final one. (0:28:38) Al: But they have previously not mentioned any announcement of any other updates. (0:28:44) Kev: Yeah, okay (0:28:44) Al: But this is the one that adds in dungeons. (0:28:46) Al: So there are three dungeons in the game to test your skill. (0:28:50) Kev: So I was about to say because I’m looking down the dungeons (0:28:54) Kev: There’s one of fire one of wind and one of water and I’m and you know, I’m no secret. This is (0:29:02) Kev: Oh my god, but oh my goodness (0:29:07) Kev: Wind Waker jeez, I know I took me to I’m tired people. Um, it’s wind Waker inspired (0:29:08) Al: Mm-hmm (0:29:12) Kev: I’m looking at like all that. I know that (0:29:14) Kev: Wind Waker dungeon. I know that Wind Waker dungeon (0:29:17) Kev: And I’m like, yeah, we’re just turning up the Wind Waker dial and then I scroll to the near the bottom (0:29:24) Kev: And oh, there you go. They’ve also introduced your actual actually (0:29:30) Kev: Link’s costume you get the tunic and a green hat. They call it the green witch but (0:29:32) Al: I, yeah, I think you’ll find this is the green witch outfit, thank you very much. Legally distinct. (0:29:43) Kev: Very cute (0:29:44) Kev: Is this reason for me to fire up Mika? Yeah, I actually probably is I haven’t touched it so (0:29:46) Al: you you yeah absolutely did you play the other two updates (0:29:53) Kev: I’ve not so I’m gonna get them all at once. Yeah (0:29:55) Al: well there you go then I was waiting for the for the mall as well maybe we (0:29:59) Kev: Yeah, I’m down for that (0:30:03) Kev: This is uh (0:30:06) Kev: Whoa (0:30:07) Kev: Sorry, I’m just reading when you get the green witch costume you get upward flight. So I (0:30:13) Al: Oh, finally! There we go. Just a shame that that’s for completing the dungeons, i.e. having (0:30:15) Kev: Snap (0:30:17) Kev: The limiters are off (0:30:19) Kev: Then it’s (0:30:22) Al: done everything in the game. Well, hey, maybe it’ll be fun, who knows. (0:30:24) Kev: Yeah, pretty much (0:30:28) Kev: Yeah, yeah, I’m always I was kind of (0:30:32) Kev: I’m always torn on this sort of design right because it’s it’s not uncommon where you get the (0:30:37) Kev: The full power at the very end or whatever right and like on the one hand it makes sense that you know (0:30:44) Kev: That’s where the progression leads to (0:30:46) Kev: But on the other hand like what are you gonna do with it now, you know? (0:30:50) Al: Yeah, yeah, I think this there is a balance to be had there and I think I (0:30:55) Al: think this is why I like 3d platform or certain nothing just platformers in general because (0:31:01) Al: You know excluding Metroidvanias, which the whole point is just unlocking (0:31:05) Al: Skills as you go. I like the idea that it’s (0:31:09) Al: What gets you through the game is your skill improving not necessarily the game just giving you things to make it easier (0:31:16) Kev: Okay, sure, sure. (0:31:18) Al: Um, and speaking of metroidvanias, I did. (0:31:20) Al: Once, which you didn’t unlock stuff as you went through the game, it just told you about stuff as you went through the game. (0:31:28) Al: So if you like just experimented and tried things, you would actually be able to do things much earlier than the game told you about them. (0:31:35) Kev: Yeah, I like that, see that is a good design right there. (0:31:40) Al: Next, we have the announcement that the Wholesome Direct is coming back this year, coming in June, there we go. (0:31:47) Kev: Okay, just like I don’t mean like one punch man. Okay. I’m like, all right. Yeah, that’s fine (0:31:56) Al: There we go. (0:31:56) Al: That’s the thing. (0:31:58) Al: That is a nice, easy episode for us later in the year. (0:31:58) Kev: Yeah (0:32:01) Kev: Yeah, that’s the real excitement here easy episode announced (0:32:07) Al: No preparation except watching a video. (0:32:09) Kev: Yeah, we can do that (0:32:13) Al: And finally, we have the announcement of Monster Patch. (0:32:17) Al: We have vaguely talked about this in the past, because this is the monster-collecting farming (0:32:26) Al: game by the maker of Littlewood. (0:32:26) Kev: Oh, by Sean Young. Yeah. (0:32:30) Al: Yes, so, but this is like the first proper thing of it, and this is the Kickstarter (0:32:35) Al: is going live soon. (0:32:38) Al: So yeah, it’s very much Gameboy-style graphics, kind of traditional Pokemon-style graphics. (0:32:46) Al: So if you like that, yeah. (0:32:46) Kev: Very not just graphics like even art style like that those trainers. That’s a Brock misty and ash (0:32:56) Al: Yeah, I was going to say the first one is definitely Gary. (0:32:56) Kev: And there’s even a Gary on the first image (0:33:00) Kev: That is definitely Gary (0:33:03) Kev: And even some of these Pokemon, you know getting getting in that little little bit of power world school of thought that you know (0:33:12) Kev: He squint is that a whooper? No (0:33:17) Kev: It’s an ax a lot. No, that’s not a that’s not a whooper (0:33:25) Al: Hold up. Hold up just a minute. Is Whipper based on an axolotl? (0:33:27) Kev: Yeah, yeah (0:33:30) Al: I had never noticed that before, but you’re right. It is, isn’t it? (0:33:31) Kev: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, it’s got the little little you know antenna with a little (0:33:34) Al: Wild. There you go. (0:33:40) Al: It totally is. It totally looks like what… (0:33:42) Kev: Yeah, yeah, there you go. Yeah, we made that connection. Oh, yeah (0:33:47) Kev: um (0:33:48) Kev: Could we make a cuter ax a little probably cuz ax a little are very cute, but whooper is good. No, it was good. Nonetheless. Um, I (0:33:59) Al: And of course it’s shiny pink, isn’t it? Which is the standard axolotl, axolotl colour. (0:34:01) Kev: Yeah, that’s correct (0:34:04) Kev: Standard yeah, okay. Yeah. Yeah, you know, okay slight slight (0:34:13) Kev: tangent here, um (0:34:15) Kev: so (0:34:17) Kev: They are you know 99 PI 99% invisible, okay, um (0:34:23) Kev: For folks who don’t know it’s a podcast that just goes into the history and origins of all sorts of random topics (0:34:28) Kev: I’m just everyday things um (0:34:30) Al: It’s mostly like design stuff, but yeah, they stretch out of that quite a bit, but that’s the original idea. (0:34:32) Kev: Yeah design stuff yeah (0:34:34) Kev: They do they do yeah, yeah (0:34:39) Kev: There’s an episode where they talk about axolotls (0:34:42) Kev: And how the the pink acts a lot of the common one that (0:34:46) Kev: so famous and popular and you can get pet shops is is so very distinct and different now because (0:34:57) Kev: long story short they years ago they some researchers got like a handful like eight (0:35:04) Kev: axolotls from the wilds of mexico and then like all the lab quote unquote lab axolotls though the (0:35:12) Kev: the pink ones with the translucent skin all those are more or less descendants (0:35:16) Kev: and they’ve just become so distinctly different from the wild ones because if (0:35:23) Kev: you look at a wild axolotl from the ones in Mexico they’re not even pink (0:35:26) Kev: they’re more like gray and they’re a little more fish-looking for lack of a (0:35:33) Kev: better word they might just because their skin isn’t translucent like the (0:35:36) Kev: the ones that so famous but it’s it’s a fascinating topic I love axolotls both (0:35:43) Kev: with the wild ones and the not wild ones. (0:35:46) Kev: But yeah, so going back to thing, Whooper’s cool, and more importantly Monster Patch. (0:35:54) Kev: Like, all the jokes about the style and whatever side, it looks, at least the images look competently made. (0:36:02) Kev: So I’m curious to see how this will pan out. (0:36:07) Kev: Do we have a date for the launch? I don’t think we do, do we? (0:36:09) Al: No, we just it’s coming. (0:36:11) Kev: Alright, well, keep your eyes out. (0:36:15) Kev: Yeah, I don’t know, we’re growing things. (0:36:18) Kev: And Pokemon are there. (0:36:20) Al: - Yes, yeah, fun. (0:36:23) Al: We’ll see what it’s like, but I liked Little Wood, (0:36:26) Al: so, and I like Pokemon. (0:36:29) Kev: I do. I don’t know. I actually haven’t played Little Wood, but I like Pokémon. (0:36:35) Kev: So we’ll see. That Apple Dragon Crocodile thing, I don’t know what that is. That’s a cute looking one. (0:36:44) Kev: I’m down. Let me know when. I mean, obviously you will let me know when this launches, but I’m just (0:36:49) Al: Oh, I just noticed it does actually say the Kickstarter is launching. (0:36:50) Kev: speaking to Sean Young, I guess. Not you, Al. But let me know when it launches so I can play this. (0:36:56) Kev: I am intrigued. (0:36:59) Kev: Oh, yeah, there it is at the very end. Oh, that’s soon, relatively, but yeah, but it kills us. That’s no indicator. You know, it just gives us the various tiniest, like false hope of when it actually comes out because that, you know, we’re talking about it like, oh, that’s lunch. That is no correlation to when we can play it. Done. (0:37:19) Al: yeah there was because they (0:37:27) Al: yeah because there was the um what was the other chibi game uh elusive um the kickstarter for (0:37:35) Al: that launched last week and yeah it was the expected release date for that is uh may 2027 (0:37:43) Al: so two years time (0:37:44) Kev: You know what? At least, I think I almost prefer a long launch window because that feels realistic/believable/but you know, I get it. (0:37:56) Al: Yeah, yeah, but it’s also the fact that elusive was announced three years ago originally. (0:38:04) Kev: Oh, that’s a different story. You’re right. (0:38:07) Al: So it’s like, yeah, games take a long time, but also this will be like five years from (0:38:12) Al: the first time we hear about it when it eventually releases. (0:38:14) Kev: Oh, sick. (0:38:16) Al: It’s our first official 2027 release date. (0:38:21) Kev: That is, that is also… (0:38:21) Al: Just checking my spreadsheet. (0:38:23) Al: We have a few saying 2026, but nothing saying 2027. (0:38:26) Kev: Look, I don’t mean, I don’t want to be mean to elusive. (0:38:30) Kev: Alright, like, the game dev’s hard, I get it, but… (0:38:34) Kev: I just, again, it’s one of my favorite benchmarks. (0:38:37) Kev: The elusive dev cycle is longer than one Confederacy of the United States. (0:38:50) Al: Where am I? I lost my tab. There we are. That’s all the news. We are now going to talk about (0:38:57) Kev: We did it (0:39:01) Al: Pixel Cross Rune Factory. Now before we get into this, Kevin, did you play the previous (0:39:03) Kev: So (0:39:06) Kev: Yes, yes, yeah, yeah we did I was on the episode we did the episode yes, it was (0:39:08) Al: one? (0:39:09) Al: Pixel Cross. (0:39:10) Al: It was me and you, was it? Right, OK. (0:39:13) Al: So next question, did you actually get any time to play this game this week? (0:39:15) Kev: A little bit it I’ve reached the first boss. There’s my (0:39:20) Al: OK. Yeah, that’s decent. I think you get the customization by that point. (0:39:26) Kev: Yeah, oh, yeah, you get that early on that’s like one of the first ones you get yeah, so I have enough to have thoughts (0:39:31) Kev: I haven’t seen the full things, but I certainly enough for opinions. Yes. Yes, absolutely. Yeah (0:39:34) Al: I think you’ve seen enough. You’ve seen enough, realistically, right? (0:39:39) Al: Because you also see, I think the boss, the only thing you won’t have done is a colour one. (0:39:44) Kev: Yeah, I’ve not seen a gun of color one yet. No, but uh, but (0:39:47) Al: but I think they’re pretty clear. (0:39:50) Al: They’re just slightly more complicated ones, but what comes to them when we come to it? (0:39:51) Kev: Yeah, yeah (0:39:58) Al: I’m changing this list around. I want to talk about the customisation first, (0:40:02) Al: because this is the thing that’s different. This is the thing that’s different about this game, (0:40:03) Kev: Oh (0:40:06) Al: other than the bosses are different, the colours are different, but this is the thing that seemed (0:40:09) Kev: Okay, well (0:40:12) Al: the most interesting to me until I played the game. (0:40:14) Kev: Well, there’s a few things oh (0:40:16) Kev: Okay, I’m gonna take us to (0:40:18) Kev: Hold on before we get them we can take one step back just for anyone who might not remember because you know (0:40:23) Kev: That was a while ago and people aren’t remember, right? So we’re talking on a grand pic cross puzzles, right? (0:40:29) Kev: Um, they did, uh, when we’re talking about his- his pixel-cross story of- (0:40:33) Kev: That’s the previous game, and that was just a very straightforward bare-bones- (0:40:39) Kev: Here’s a bunch of Picross puzzles, um, and there happens to be Harvest Moon, you know, they’re all Harvest Moon, er, story of seasons images, there’s (0:40:47) Kev: music in the background, and a little farm growing in the background. Um, but that- that was pretty much it, right? A very- (0:40:53) Kev: Yeah, I- I enjoy it, ‘cause I enjoy nonagram, but, um, but straightforward and, uh, basic sort of collection of puzzles. (0:41:03) Kev: This one, they’re- they- they upped- they upped it. I’m just- I’m surprised, I didn’t think they could take it places, but they did, they’re doing stuff, right? (0:41:13) Kev: Um, because- okay, let’s get into the customization. Now, that’s one of the biggest ones, ‘cause story of seasons was just (0:41:21) Kev: automatically happening in the background, you kind of looked at it here and there, but here, go ahead, Al, tell them. (0:41:24) Al: Yeah. Yeah, so here you I mean, realistically, it’s not fundamentally different, right? Like, (0:41:33) Al: the back, the background is still doing the same thing is the background. And you have a farm, (0:41:39) Al: like the previous one, because it’s all still farming, right? But you get to like, choose how (0:41:45) Al: your farm looks, basically, right? So you have, you can, it’s very specifically, you can go down (0:41:52) Al: down to which crops you want on which. (0:41:54) Al: Crop plot point, you can say “I want a turnip here, I want a potato here, I want a cabbage there”. (0:42:00) Al: You can be very specific about it. Weirdly detailed and you can also change your character’s (0:42:08) Al: look and weapons and stuff like that. I guess the thing I was disappointed about it was (0:42:14) Al: it doesn’t change anything. It is just the background and that’s fine. Maybe I shouldn’t (0:42:18) Al: have expected any more but it doesn’t make any difference to gameplay. (0:42:24) Al: It’s just changing what is on in the background which some people might really like but I’m just (0:42:29) Al: a little bit… I don’t particularly care because it’s really in the background. It’s there but (0:42:35) Al: you’re looking at the puzzle and especially… I don’t know how you play these games but I’m (0:42:39) Al: trying to do them as quickly as possible and then I put it down when I finished. (0:42:42) Kev: Yeah, right (0:42:45) Kev: Well, okay there is I (0:42:48) Kev: Think there’s a few more there’s a little more to it that gives it a little more meat on the buns (0:42:52) Kev: First of all, this now introduces a collection aspect, right? (0:42:55) Kev: Like one that you can actually display right whether it’s your displaying different crops on the field or perhaps more importantly to us (0:43:02) Kev: You you can collect monsters, right? (0:43:05) Al: Oh yes, I forgot about the monsters, of course. (0:43:07) Kev: Yeah, right you can have a couple monsters on your farm and they’re just walking around (0:43:12) Kev: background elements, but (0:43:14) Kev: Gotta catch them all. You’re right. Gotta catch them all (0:43:16) Al: Well and, and including, you won’t know this, but you can have the boxes there as well. (0:43:20) Kev: Yeah, I figured so I think there’s a page for that like you could kind of see it on the (0:43:26) Kev: Customization pages, but yes including bosses. So that’s fun (0:43:32) Kev: And actually (0:43:34) Kev: I guess you know, no, I’ll get to that in a second. Um (0:43:38) Kev: The other big one I think is the quote-unquote (0:43:42) Kev: And I say big is still not that big but the arms or equipment or whatever (0:43:48) Kev: So you can unlock different weapons because room factory, you know has this combat based (0:43:54) Kev: And there are combat scenes in the background when you’re fighting monsters to capture them or whatnot, right? (0:44:02) Kev: So depending on the weapons you equip you actually get different animations going on the background (0:44:07) Kev: I don’t know if you played around with that now or caught it but if you equip gauntlets versus a sword (0:44:12) Kev: Or an axe or whatever you get different animations and again just background stuff. Nothing cats significant, but it’s it’s a cute little (0:44:20) Al: Yeah, it’s, it’s, it’s fun. And I get why people like it. It’s just that’s not really my thing. I’m much more interested, I think, in the changes they made to gameplay, which we’ll come on to in a minute. (0:44:21) Kev: Cute little nod. I appreciate that. Yeah (0:44:27) Kev: Sure (0:44:33) Kev: Sure sure (0:44:34) Al: But yeah, it was… (0:44:36) Kev: Okay, before we get to the some of the different puzzles or how they spice it up (0:44:42) Kev: Other thing that I like so when you start the game you’re asked (0:44:46) Kev: Basically, there are two modes you can do you can do puzzle mode or adventure mode now puzzle mode is just basically like the (0:44:55) Kev: The first one where it’s just a collection of puzzles and you just do them (0:44:59) Kev: And you know, I think you can still not the customization and so on and so forth, but it’s just a big (0:45:05) Kev: block of (0:45:07) Kev: puzzles a list of puzzles (0:45:10) Kev: Adventure mode is a little bit (0:45:12) Kev: different because you unlock the puzzles basically on a sort of map where you clear one puzzle and then surrounding tiles on them on this map will unlock so you can kind of bounce around and progress right at the end you know it’s it’s it’s just a it’s still just a list of puzzles just a slightly different direction and a little different presentation but it’s it’s again kind of a fun little nod to the rune factory series where you got exploration and whatnot right. (0:45:40) Al: - Yeah, it kind of doesn’t make any difference (0:45:43) Al: but in a way it does ‘cause it gives you a lot more (0:45:46) Al: flexibility on what you’re playing, right? (0:45:48) Al: Like in standard one, standard like nonogram games, (0:45:51) Al: you just got like, here’s a list and you go and do one (0:45:53) Kev: Yep. (0:45:55) Al: then you do the next, you do the next, you do the next. (0:45:57) Al: Whereas here, you do one and it kind of unlocks (0:45:58) Kev: Yep. (0:46:00) Al: the top and the left of that one (0:46:02) Kev: Yeah. (0:46:02) Al: and you do the one over there (0:46:03) Al: and it does the bottom and the right of that one. (0:46:05) Al: And it gives you lots and the, (0:46:08) Al: As much as I was like, not massive. (0:46:10) Al: I do feel like purely this map-based layout does make me feel a little bit more immersed (0:46:19) Al: in this world, right? (0:46:20) Kev: It it does it (0:46:20) Al: Because it actually feels like you’re traveling, it feels like you’re exploring, and especially (0:46:25) Al: as it shows you there are some areas there, but you can’t get to them yet, and then you (0:46:28) Kev: Yeah, yeah (0:46:30) Al: unlock that, and then it shows you more areas you can get to. (0:46:32) Al: It feels like I’m exploring much more than anything else. (0:46:33) Kev: Yeah (0:46:34) Kev: It does right and it’s some that’s that establishes a goal of sort right like (0:46:41) Kev: Actual progress which is you know not associate with the nonagram collection game, but but I agree (0:46:48) Kev: Yeah, because like you said there’s (0:46:50) Kev: I’ve reached a puzzle where okay, I cleared the the puzzles next to them, but it didn’t lock. Why is that? (0:46:55) Kev: Well, that’s I guess I for me to discover and that’s kind of fun (0:47:00) Kev: And you know if nothing else like I think it’s all I’m impressed by how clever all these ideas are right like (0:47:07) Kev: Cuz they you don’t have a lot of room to play with this sort of game, right? (0:47:11) Kev: Like it’s the bread and butter is just the nonagrams (0:47:14) Kev: So how do we make it a little more interesting and they’re using some fun ideas here (0:47:18) Kev: and the adventure map (0:47:20) Kev: absolutely is one of them. (0:47:22) Kev: Now the other thing with adventure mode is that you also get some different challenges, (0:47:29) Kev: which are optional in the standard puzzle mode. (0:47:35) Kev: And that amounts to different variations on the puzzle. (0:47:39) Kev: The first one is color puzzles, (0:47:43) Kev: which I don’t even know if it’s actually just locked to adventure mode. (0:47:47) Kev: But anyways, so you have the color mode where– (0:47:48) Al: I don’t think they are. I think the only thing that’s locked to Adventure Mode is (0:47:51) Kev: Oh, really? Oh, okay, well. (0:47:56) Al: the boss battles being challenges. (0:47:58) Kev: Yeah, I think I said you can do challenges and puzzle, but it’s not required (0:48:02) Al: Yeah, that’s the thing. Adventure Mode is you have to do them. But yeah, anyway. (0:48:04) Kev: Yeah (0:48:07) Kev: Yeah, you’re forced to do it. Yeah, okay, so the color puzzles as the name implies like (0:48:14) Kev: You now not only have your numbers that you’re filling out, but you have them in different color blocks (0:48:21) Kev: You need to fill them with the correct color. I haven’t done one. So I don’t remember all the specifics but (0:48:28) Kev: but I think (0:48:31) Kev: I’ve done other (0:48:33) Kev: Nonogram games that they’ve done similar mechanics and I it’s always a fun little touch to add (0:48:37) Kev: Just know just a little variation at least in the in the puzzle, right? (0:48:42) Kev: Oh, oh, you know what this also reminds me (0:48:46) Kev: One thing that I found intriguing is when you start the game and you’re setting up your profile (0:48:51) Kev: You’re actually given a little tutorial on all the elements of the nonogram puzzles in the different modes and stuff (0:48:59) Kev: You know not (0:49:01) Kev: It’s nothing super heavy. No hand-holding. In fact, maybe it’s a little light for you know, how complex these can be but&l
