Kan Nintendo toppe Mario Kart 8 Deluxe?Mario Kart er en af Nintendos mest populære og bedst sælgende franchises. Det første spil i serien udkom helt tilbage i 1992 og hed Super Mario Kart. Det udkom oprindeligt på Nintendos anden store konsol, nemlig Super Nintendo Entertainment System, i folkemunde bare kaldet SNES, og solgte næsten 9 mio. eksemplarer.Mario Kart er en såkaldt kart-racer, en subgenre inden for racing-genren. Det er ræs i en go-kart, og selvom man måske tror, at Mario Kart skabte denne genre, var det faktisk et arkadespil udgivet af SEGA, kaldet Power Drift, der gjorde det. Men Mario Kart gjorde klart genren populær - så populær, at en franchise blev skabt, og Nintendo har ikke set sig tilbage i bakspejlet siden det første Mario Kart udkom.Mario Kart World er ikke bare det nyeste skud på stammen. Det er launchtitlen til Nintendos helt nye konsol, Nintendo Switch 2, og det er også efterfølgeren til Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, som er den mest populære og største titel i hele franchisen. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe har solgt næsten 70 mio. eksemplarer!Kan Mario Kart World hamle op med det? Det vil tiden vise. Spillet har i hvert fald været under udvikling i otte år, altså siden 2017.World byder blandt andet på nye gamemodes, men et af de store salgsargumenter har været Freeroam, hvor du nu kan køre frit fra sted til sted i en stor, åben verden.Mario Kart World har meget at leve op til. Men hvad synes vi om Nintendos nye store satsning? Det og meget mere skal vi finde ud af nu!I denne episode deltager Felix Sanchez, Janus Hasseriis, Michael Engelbreth, Lau Eskildsen og Morten Urup.Tusind tak, fordi du lytter med.

fWotD Episode 2769: PlayStation (console) Welcome to Featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia’s finest articles.The featured article for Tuesday, 3 December 2024 is PlayStation (console).The PlayStation (abbreviated as PS, commonly known as the PS1/PS one or its codename PSX) is a home video game console developed and marketed by Sony Computer Entertainment. It was released in Japan on 3 December 1994 followed by North America on 9 September 1995, Europe on 29 September 1995, and other regions following thereafter. As a fifth-generation console, the PlayStation primarily competed with the Nintendo 64 and the Sega Saturn.Sony began developing the PlayStation after a failed venture with Nintendo to create a CD-ROM peripheral for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System in the early 1990s. The console was primarily designed by Ken Kutaragi and Sony Computer Entertainment in Japan, while additional development was outsourced in the United Kingdom. An emphasis on 3D polygon graphics was placed at the forefront of the console's design. PlayStation game production was designed to be streamlined and inclusive, enticing the support of many third-party developers.The console proved popular for its extensive game library, popular franchises, low retail price, and aggressive youth marketing which advertised it as the preferable console for adolescents and adults. Premier PlayStation franchises included Gran Turismo, Crash Bandicoot, Spyro, Tomb Raider, Resident Evil, Metal Gear, Tekken, and Final Fantasy, all of which spawned numerous sequels. Sony ceased production of the PlayStation on 23 March 2006—over eleven years after it had been released, and less than a year before the debut of the PlayStation 3. More than 4,000 PlayStation games were released, with cumulative sales of 962 million units.The PlayStation signalled Sony's rise to power in the video game industry. It received acclaim and sold strongly; in less than a decade, it became the first computer entertainment platform to ship over 100 million units. Its use of compact discs heralded the game industry's transition from cartridges. The PlayStation's success led to a line of successors, beginning with the PlayStation 2 in 2000. In the same year, Sony released a smaller and cheaper model, the PS one.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:30 UTC on Tuesday, 3 December 2024.For the full current version of the article, see PlayStation (console) on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm generative Matthew.

#241 Was Joan of Arc Visited by Angels or Aliens?

The extraterrestrial comedy podcast where we probe whether famous historical figure and Patron Saint of France Joan of Arc was visited by angels, demons, aliens or something else entirely. Joan, more likely Jeanne or Jehanette and who wasn't from Arc, was born in 1412 and may have been the foretold one - a prophecy had foretold that an armed virgin would save France. That prophecy may have come from Merlin. Joan insisted on a meeting with the Dauphin, the uncrowned Charles the 7th and indeed, was eventually granted an audience with Charles whereby Joan was able to identify the man she had never met (the man who was at that time wearing somebody else's clothing). This all somehow led to Joan accompanying military forces before beginning to command those forces in their continued success driving the English back. Eventually, Joan's mission was successful - Charles was crowned king and France was pretty much saved. Joan's desire to attack those who opposed Charles continued however and Joan was eventually captured before being handed over to the English for execution following a farce of a trial. The whole time, Joan conducted herself well. Joan was indeed executed before eventually becoming Patron Saint. But where did Joan's messages come from? Those messages did indeed do as Joan herself claimed they would do. Some alternatives explanations are covered… All that and more on this week's file.     Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/butitwasaliens   Store: https://butitwasaliens.co.uk/shop/     Probe us: Email: butitwasaliens@gmail.com Instagram/Threads @ ButItWasAliens Twitter @ ButItWasAliens Facebook: @ ButItWasAliens - join Extraterrestrial Towers     Music:  Music created via Garageband.

The paranormal comedy podcast where we probe events of 1591 Breslau, Poland whereby a deceased gentleman just wouldn't stay deceased. The man passed in what at the time was considered an unholy manner yet was given a holy burial and this, allegedly, resulted in this man becoming stuck between life and the afterlife. Truthfully. The town struggled to understand how to deal with this matter until the man's wife came clean… It wasn't even just the man for when the man's wife passed, assaults on the living continued. Then the man's previous servant passed on. Assaults continued. How could this one be explained?

The extraterrestrial comedy podcast where we probe Jan Wolski's alleged abduction. Jan was a farmer in his 70's during the 70's. A career around farm chemicals and hard work had left Jan pretty much prepared for anything. Anything but this. For Jan would be accompanied on his cart by two green people who would end up taking Jan to their slab-lab. This one went on to become one of Poland's most famous extraterrestrial encounters. But were Jan's balls scanned? Alongside that we ponder whether one would recall time-travelling if one time-travelled?

The extraterrestrial comedy podcast where we probe an allegedly haunted house in Maple Avenue, Hanover, Pennsylvania. There is a lot out there on this one and a lot of it doesn't follow much of a timeline so we try to put things in to some sort of chronological order and bring you the true facts. Allegedly. Deanna Simpson wasn't a Medium or anything of that nature. I mean sure you could say that Deanna was sensitive to otherworldly energies but we're not saying that she was sensitive. We're not saying that she did or did not become a Medium either. Those sensitivities could attract dark entities sorry entitties. Especially in a house full of bad juju. Which of course this house was, having seen so much tragedy before the Simpson's even arrived. Could this be a case of residual hauntings, poltergeist, simply a hoax, or was a demon to blame? For the believers out there, at about 36:43 on this episode, a voice was picked up by our microphones. It wasn't Kev or Granville and nobody else was around. We didn't hear this until listening back… Spookies!

You’re gonna, you’re gonna, you’re gonna, you’re gonna, you’re gonna (0:01:32) Kev: Oh, well, don’t tell me then. (0:01:33) Kev: I’ll figure it out.

(0:01:41) Kev: Oh, it’s a squeaky hammer, isn’t it? (0:01:44) Kev: We’ll see. (0:01:44) Al: you know, yeah. Let me know how you feel once you figure out, because yeah, I was like, (0:01:51) Kev: Okay. (0:01:52) Al: I can’t, I was like, I cannot believe I didn’t think about this. This is, this is ridiculous (0:01:56) Al: that it took me this long to figure out. So yes, first of all, before we get into it, (0:02:01) Al: transcripts are available in the show notes and on the website. Welcome to the first episode (0:02:06) Al: of Dave the Diver Month. This is the month every year where I go on holiday and I can’t (0:02:13) Al: bothered recording and editing while (0:02:14) Al: I’m away. So, we pre-record a bunch of episodes. Last year was fishing month and this year (0:02:23) Al: for some reason we decided to do Dave the Diver month. Wooo! So yeah, we’re doing… (0:02:26) Kev: we’re going deeper it ties into its shark week you know month would have (0:02:31) Kev: parked that net so I actually I don’t I don’t know is that you guys like I don’t (0:02:37) Al: I am aware of Shark Week. We don’t get it, but it is referenced in enough American material (0:02:37) Kev: okay okay yeah okay okay so so just a side note about that I always find (0:02:43) Al: that I am awake. (0:02:44) Al: I am here for what it is. (0:02:51) Kev: amusing. So Shark Week is done by Discovery Channel which (0:02:56) Kev: is, I don’t know what network, but not Disney Network, and this is important. (0:03:02) Al: They were independent, but they merged with Paramount, I think. (0:03:10) Kev: Yeah, is it I don’t know cuz they’re on I (0:03:12) Al: It’s Paramount Discovery. Or is it CBS? It’s one of the two of them. (0:03:14) Kev: Can’t I don’t remember but either way the key thing is it’s not Disney and I bring it up because couple years back (0:03:22) Kev: Disney’s saw all the shark week money they were making presumably or whatever and so they said we’re gonna do our own version (0:03:29) Kev: And we’re gonna call it shark fest except it’s gonna be a whole month and every year they try hyping up shark fest (0:03:36) Kev: but it’s it’s just (0:03:36) Al: I’ve just googled it. Of course, it’s Warner Brothers. It’s Warner Brothers, not Paramount (0:03:37) Kev: It’s clear what they’re doing and it’s just (0:03:40) Kev: Laffable and impediable. Anyways, but welcome to our dive Dave fest. Hello areas (0:03:52) Kev: Yeah, that’s what I thought cuz I’m pretty sure is on max I see the max commercial (0:03:52) Al: or it’s Warner Brothers. I don’t know why you didn’t say that then. You’re like, “Oh, (0:03:56) Al: I thought it, but I didn’t say it.” Just assume I’m wrong. (0:03:58) Kev: Because I can’t remember who owns max isn’t that is Warner Brothers, right? Yeah, cuz they do with the cartoon. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah (0:04:04) Kev: Okay. Well, there you go (0:04:06) Al: The company is now called Warner Brothers Discovery. HBO is part of that as well. (0:04:08) Kev: Now there you go (0:04:11) Kev: Don’t you love how everything’s just merging into (0:04:17) Kev: Conglomerate it’s horrifying blob (0:04:22) Al: So anyway, as I mentioned, this is Dave the Diver Month. (0:04:26) Kev: So yeah, somehow we figured out a whole month. (0:04:29) Al: We’ve gone back to our roots, gone back to our roots, (0:04:32) Al: because I went I’ve been going back and like backfilling. (0:04:36) Al: We changed our show notes to Notion a couple of years ago and I (0:04:41) Al: I didn’t backfill all the old episodes, so it was just like missing. (0:04:45) Al: So you could go back to the the I think the end of 2022 was the first episode (0:04:52) Al: in Notion, so I decided that I needed this list, right? (0:04:57) Al: Because it’s a nice list that I can easily like filter through and see what (0:05:01) Al: episodes people have been on, see that Kevin has been on the second most (0:05:04) Al: episodes of anyone, second only to me. (0:05:06) Kev: here to defend my title. (0:05:11) Al: But it meant that I went back and looked at every single title that we’ve done (0:05:15) Al: because I had to type them all in. (0:05:17) Al: And yeah, my word, the first, the first 10. (0:05:22) Al: 10 episodes, we cover a total of three games. (0:05:27) Kev: Why hopes to think about this in hindsight? (0:05:29) Al: We have the I know we have the introduction (0:05:32) Al: episode and then we have three Stardew episodes. (0:05:35) Al: Granted, one of them is the challenge, which we haven’t done in a while. (0:05:37) Al: We should do a challenge episode again. (0:05:40) Al: And then we did five episodes on trio of towns. (0:05:46) Kev: Well, there’s three towns. So, you know, the five have wow (0:05:52) Al: Introduction to it, one about the story, one about the mechanics, one about the (0:05:57) Al: calendar, we specifically talk, we specifically talked about the calendar (0:06:02) Al: in its own episode, which I think was I think we’re talking about like the (0:06:06) Al: festivals and stuff like that, basically. (0:06:10) Al: And then and then we had a challenge episode. (0:06:12) Al: And in the middle of that, we had this (0:06:14) Al: random episode on factory town because that was the the first time I managed to (0:06:18) Al: get a free code for something and I was like, oh, we must do this now. (0:06:18) Kev: Duh (0:06:23) Al: So, yeah, there we go. (0:06:25) Al: So we’re going back to our roots and having a whole month on one game. (0:06:30) Al: We’ll we’ll see how that goes. (0:06:32) Al: This episode, we’re going to talk about the game as a whole (0:06:35) Al: pre the DLCs. (0:06:37) Al: So the DLCs we will cover in a different (0:06:40) Al: episode and we’re not going to cover the story in too much detail. (0:06:44) Al: We will touch on it in some amount, but like Kevin’s only two chapters in. (0:06:48) Al: I have finished the game, but yeah, we’re gonna leave that to run out. (0:06:52) Al: Another episode. So we’re not going to talk about the two DLCs, the Dredge DLC, the Godzilla (0:06:58) Al: DLC, or the kind of more details and the ending of the story. Yeah. Dave the Diver Month, whoo! (0:07:08) Kev: All right well before that I guess well we’re not we’re not really doing news we don’t do news right on these (0:07:15) Al: We have no news. We have no news because we’re recording this, what, three weeks in advance? (0:07:20) Kev: Yeah (0:07:22) Al: So there’s no news. I mean, there’s probably news, but you’ll hear about it in another (0:07:25) Al: three weeks’ time. I think you know that’s not going to happen. (0:07:25) Kev: Which means haunted chocolatier will have the stealth drop when this episode drops (0:07:37) Al: Concerned Ape doesn’t do stealth drops. He knows the hype is good, which it’s not coming (0:07:43) Al: out this year, but even if it did… (0:07:45) Al: like, he will announce it at least two months beforehand. (0:07:48) Kev: Fair enough, um, a lot of gave the diver, to be honest, I really, really like this game. (0:07:51) Al: But first of all, Kevin, what have you been up to? (0:07:59) Kev: It’s a great game, um, I guess as a side note, I think I said earlier, but I am actually (0:08:08) Kev: a certified scuba diver, I haven’t been in years, but my dad was a scuba diver and as (0:08:10) Al: Oh, that’s fun. (0:08:14) Kev: I grew up by the ocean. (0:08:21) Kev: myself, and so yeah, I appreciate this very much so. But yeah, David the Diver, well welcome (0:08:29) Kev: to that. Aside from that, a lot of my usual Marvel Snap, the Deadpool season has started, (0:08:36) Kev: I’m excited, there’s going to be a ridiculous amount of good cards this season. And yeah, (0:08:40) Al: Yes, the film will be out as well by the time there’s episode- (0:08:43) Kev: Yeah, yeah that is, I am. (0:08:49) Al: I feel like this is the one that’s going to drag a bunch of people back that haven’t (0:08:52) Al: been interested in Marvel films for a while. (0:08:54) Kev: Yeah, I mean, we could do, maybe we will do a whole episode on this, but like with X-Men ‘97 and Deadpool and Wolverine, I feel like, you know, that this is going to be a jectary setter for Marvel. (0:09:11) Kev: Anyways, yeah, I’m excited for that. So yeah, Marvel Snap is good. I don’t know how it is for new players or returning players, but as someone who’s kept up with it, I think it’s in a really good place. (0:09:23) Kev: Um, I sorry. (0:09:24) Kev: Aside from that, uh, a lot of my usual- yeah there’s a lot of my usuals Pokemon Unite. (0:09:32) Kev: Um, and of course, uh, the Mario is life never ends, um, you know, by the time this episode drops, I’m sure other stuff will have been out, but, uh, at the time of recording, I tried Super Mario Kart, the- the OG, for the SNES. (0:09:48) Kev: Uh, that was an interesting experience to see, um, it wasn’t a bad game, like- (0:09:56) Kev: Harvest Moon was SNES, wasn’t it? Like the original Harvest Moon was SNES? Yeah, it was much better than the original Harvest Moon. (0:09:58) Al: - Yeah, yeah it was. (0:10:02) Kev: Um, but, uh, but yeah, that was fun, and, uh, and hey, most importantly over at Rainbow Road Radio, we have hit one year, yay!

They did a good, they (0:10:12) Kev: Uh, yo, it’s a little- (0:10:17) Al: did a good episode with Nadia on the, what’s it called? Mario Kart. That one was called (0:10:26) Al: Super Mario Kart, right? Or was it just Mario Kart? That was Super Mario Kart. Everything (0:10:26) Kev: Yeah, that was called. It was a Super Mario Kart, yeah. (0:10:30) Al: was super because it was on the SNES. The game by Advance, everything was advanced. (0:10:32) Kev: Yeah, that’s correct. Just like the DS had DS abbreviations or name. (0:10:41) Kev: Yeah, yeah, that’s a good one. (0:10:45) Kev: I need that back. Give us a good one for Switch 2. (0:10:48) Kev: Oh, I didn’t even know. (0:10:48) Al: Well this is this is why I don’t think they’ll go for super or advanced like some people (0:10:54) Al: are suggesting. I think they’ll want to have a unique one so that you can clearly, you (0:10:59) Al: know, make a differentiation between them. And I definitely do not think it’s going to (0:11:02) Kev: yeah (0:11:04) Al: be two. I just that’s I don’t think it’s going to be. (0:11:07) Kev: well of course not they’ve the only one they ever used was 64 and that was (0:11:11) Kev: because of the technical 64 (0:11:14) Al: Well, exactly. There’s always a reason why they’re doing them, and they always try and (0:11:14) Kev: right (0:11:17) Al: make it a unique thing, right? Like, there’s not been one. No, but that was unique as well. (0:11:18) Kev: yeah (0:11:20) Kev: except we you (0:11:24) Al: Right? Because, like, yes, sometimes they take, like, sometimes it’s based on a previous (0:11:30) Al: one, so they take the name and then they add something to it. But the thing they add to (0:11:34) Al: it is always new. You’ve got the 3DS, you’ve got the DSi, you’ve got the Wii U, you’ve (0:11:39) Al: got the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. They all add a different thing to it. They’ve (0:11:40) Kev: OK. OK, yeah, you’re right. (0:11:44) Al: never duplicated that. Game Boy Advance. Oh yeah, I’m not saying the game’s… I’m not (0:11:48) Kev: I make I yeah, I make the jokes about the bad names, but (0:11:53) Kev: hopefully it’ll be better than new switch. (0:11:56) Al: saying the games are good. The names are good, for the record. But they are unique. People (0:11:57) Kev: Yes, yeah, but they are different. (0:12:01) Kev: You’re right, they don’t reuse things (0:12:04) Kev: as much as Nintendo loves to call back their games, (0:12:06) Kev: I guess with their systems, they really don’t call back, do they? (0:12:08) Kev: - Nah. (0:12:09) Kev: Um, no. (0:12:10) Kev: Yeah, but, uh, yeah, so anyways, yeah, go check that it go ahead. (0:12:14) Al: I think the only Nintendo thing that will be out between our recording and the episode coming out (0:12:22) Al: is the World Championships game. That’s the only thing coming out in July or August. (0:12:26) Kev: I think I mentioned this on the cycle we chatted, but you remember like two years ago we talked (0:12:36) Kev: about one of the directs and said it felt like one of the final directs for the switch. (0:12:38) Al: I think it was two years ago that we said that classic (0:12:43) Kev: We still got another year, at least, to ring out of this bad boy. (0:12:49) Kev: Good times. (0:12:50) Kev: So yeah, go check out Rainbow Road Radio. (0:12:58) Al: Yeah, I mean, games-wise, I’m not going to really talk about it right, because it’s all the same (0:13:02) Al: stuff I’ve been talking for. Well, as I’m recording, I’ve said the same stuff for like three episodes (0:13:08) Al: long, and I’m probably going to do another two episodes where I’ve not really played anything (0:13:12) Al: new, because I’ve been playing the same three games for the podcast. I feel like I’ve been (0:13:17) Al: playing Day of the Diver now for about a month, which is a good thing for the record. We’ll get (0:13:22) Kev: Yep, not forcibly not at gunpoint (0:13:23) Al: to that. But spoiler alert, this is a good game. Absolutely not. I’m so glad. (0:13:28) Al: This game was good because can you imagine us covering four episodes on a game that none of us (0:13:33) Al: liked? Oh boy. But there is one thing that I just finished that probably this is the best episode to (0:13:35) Kev: Hey, I mean Steve’s managed to get how many years out of (0:13:46) Al: talk on because I’ve got you Kevin and that is the Gotham Knights TV show. So I bet you haven’t (0:13:50) Kev: I am not but I’m aware how it was the show Batman show before Batman but then (0:13:54) Al: watch this have you? (0:13:58) Al: So let me say listeners, if you don’t want spoilers for the Gotham Knights TV show, (0:14:01) Kev: said okay but we’re gonna add Batman though anyway (0:14:12) Al: which was a CW/DC show that aired two years ago or something and cancelled after one season, (0:14:20) Al: then skip to the main topic, because this will be all I’m talking about for the rest of this (0:14:26) Al: section but I would. (0:14:28) Al: I will probably spoil some things because I don’t think you can truly have a conversation (0:14:32) Al: about this without spoiling some ridiculous things about this show. (0:14:36) Al: So the premise of this show is Batman is murdered and people there are. (0:14:43) Kev: Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, Batman’s Murder? Wait, what show is this? This isn’t the pre-Batman show? (0:14:49) Al: This is not pre Batman, no, this is post Batman. (0:14:52) Kev: What, what’s it called again? One more time? (0:14:54) Al: Gotham Knights. (0:14:55) Kev: Oh, Gotham Knights! I thought you said Gotham, ‘cause there’s a show called… (0:14:58) Al: No, not Gotham. Gotham was, Gotham was good. Yeah, no, that was good. This was, (0:15:01) Kev: Okay. (0:15:02) Al: that was like four seasons long or something like that. Yeah, with a K. So the Knights have got that, (0:15:04) Kev: Okay, wait, is this Gotham Knights with a K or an okay? (0:15:09) Kev: Okay. (0:15:12) Al: you know, like the, you’re the classic, everybody knows who the Gotham Knights are, (0:15:16) Al: and none of them are in this show. So, but yeah, so this is, well, do you want me not to talk about (0:15:20) Kev: Okay, so Batman’s murdered. Okay, I’ve missed this completely. (0:15:24) Kev: Okay. (0:15:27) Kev: No, no, I want to know. I don’t know when I’ll check it out. (0:15:28) Al: it then? Are you, do you care about what? No, that’s fine. So Batman is, Batman is murdered, (0:15:30) Kev: I’m good for all the spoilers. To do tell. (0:15:38) Al: and four teenagers are framed for his murder, and those teenagers include Batman’s adopted son. (0:15:47) Al: Now, this is an adopted son that doesn’t exist in the comics. (0:15:50) Kev: I’ll say I’m looking at the Wikipedia and hit the sun’s name is not blue which means there’s no article (0:15:58) Al: Yeah, yeah. So he doesn’t, this is the only place that he exists in anything, (0:16:04) Al: because basically they didn’t have the rights to any existing Robin, so they decided not to do a (0:16:10) Al: Robin. And I will say the interesting thing about that is that he is, he doesn’t know that Bruce (0:16:15) Al: Wayne is Batman, and he’s never trained up as a Robin. So that is a little bit different and (0:16:20) Al: interesting that they do, but just an actual son, he’s adopted because, well, it turns out for, (0:16:21) Kev: So just an actual son, not a child laborer. (0:16:28) Al: spoilers here, it turns out that Batman killed his parents, so that’s why he was adopted by him. (0:16:32) Kev: Oh, what? What? (0:16:34) Al: But another, another one of the teenagers that is framed for killing Batman is the daughter of the (0:16:42) Al: Joker, except, except in the, in the last episode, we find out that she’s not actually the daughter (0:16:43) Kev: I feel like this should be a greenhouse, I have so many questions! (0:16:56) Al: of the Joker. (0:16:58) Al: She’s actually the daughter of Harvey Dent, because Harvey Dent has a disassociative identity (0:17:00) Kev: Okay. (0:17:02) Kev: Help! (0:17:02) Kev: sadly HOOO! (0:17:08) Al: disorder, and his other identity was the one that was in a relationship with Duella, his (0:17:17) Al: character’s mother, and so he didn’t know that she existed because he obviously then (0:17:22) Al: goes back to his other personality and has no idea that this has happened. (0:17:28) Al: Due characters are random people, they’re just kind of like low-level criminal brother (0:17:35) Al: and sister, and then they’re also randomly throwing a girl who happens to be a Robin, (0:17:43) Al: and she’s actually Batman sidekick, but she kind of forced her way into the role, like (0:17:49) Al: he didn’t want her sort of thing, so that is vaguely interesting, but yeah, this follows (0:17:54) Al: the four of them and one of (0:17:58) Al: Turner, whose Bruce Wayne’s adopted son, find them trying to out the real killers, who is (0:18:05) Al: the Court of Owls. For those who don’t know, they’re like a standard secretive society (0:18:12) Al: that exists in the DC Comics. Exactly. And Harvey Dent is a district attorney. Is that (0:18:12) Kev: Yup, you’re Illuminati. (0:18:23) Al: the term. Running to be mayor. (0:18:28) Al: And this is like pre him being Two-Face, and he like becomes Two-Face in the last (0:18:32) Kev: Okay. (0:18:36) Al: five seconds of the show sort of thing. Right before, exactly right before they’re cancelled. (0:18:38) Kev: Of course, right before they’re cancelled. Good times. Good times! (0:18:44) Al: So this, I’m not gonna say this show is bad because like it’s, I actually think that as a show, (0:18:51) Al: it’s not bad. I think it was actually vaguely enjoyable. Like if you have very limited time (0:18:58) Al: to watch TV, there are probably plenty of things that are better that you would want to watch, but (0:19:03) Al: I did enjoy it. I do not know why on earth this is a DC show. The only characters that exist are (0:19:13) Al: Harvey Dent and well, Bruce Wayne, but he’s dead, right? Like he only exists to create the story. (0:19:14) Kev: Mm hmm. Yeah. (0:19:22) Al: And basically everybody else is a made up character. They’ve got the court of owls, (0:19:26) Kev: I’m I’m I’m so like dwella or dwella whatever her name is that she’s (0:19:26) Al: but like. (0:19:28) Al: Oh, is she? (0:19:31) Kev: apparently an existing character and and the Harper the bluebird she goes by (0:19:37) Kev: bluebird in the comic and other apparently existing characters and (0:19:40) Al: OK, it just like I don’t. (0:19:40) Kev: cullenra I don’t know what obscure though they are very obscure I don’t I (0:19:44) Al: They’re very obscure and it’s not really like any of that affects the story, right? (0:19:44) Kev: don’t know them (0:19:49) Al: They could do they could absolutely have and I think it actually would have been (0:19:52) Al: a more enjoyable thing if it wasn’t so tied into the DC universe and it was just like (0:19:58) Al: like as a teen a teen mystery kind of crime show, I think it would actually be quite enjoyable, (0:20:00) Kev: The mystery show mm-hmm (0:20:06) Kev: Sure (0:20:09) Al: but then it then oh look it’s Batman, you know, and it’s like just feels a bit weird, (0:20:15) Al: but yeah, it was it was it was fine. Yeah. (0:20:15) Kev: Okay (0:20:21) Kev: Okay, that’s that this is fascinating that’s a shame it got canceled because this is this is a wild description everything you said (0:20:30) Al: Yeah, I’m very intrigued as to where they were planning on taking it. There’s a whole (0:20:34) Al: but the standard like here are 10 things that happen in the last episode that are all setting (0:20:40) Al: up the second series. And yeah, I’m intrigued as to where they were going with that. (0:20:46) Kev: Yeah, I mean yeah, there’s there’s a lot to unpack there. Um, well (0:20:51) Al: I also feel like it would have been better fully self-contained like if they hadn’t shoved (0:20:55) Al: all that stuff in at the end, like they didn’t have Harvey Dent turning into Two-Face. (0:21:00) Al: And they didn’t have Turner Hayes being kidnapped and everybody thinking he was murdered and taken (0:21:06) Al: to, I think it was Raj Al Ghul at the end, or maybe it was someone else. He said that he (0:21:13) Al: trained Batman, so I’m assuming he’s meant to be Raj Al Ghul, but they don’t actually say for certain, (0:21:18) Al: so I’m not sure. But it’s all there. (0:21:21) Kev: Oh, good times, good times (laughs) (0:21:28) Al: So, yeah, it was it was a thing. And that was what so I’ve now almost caught up with (0:21:33) Al: the DC shows. I have season three of Stargirl to watch. And then I think that’s the live (0:21:38) Al: action that is. Obviously, I’ve got a lot of animated stuff still to go. But that’ll (0:21:42) Al: be me caught up with the live action DC shows. I have plumbed every, every possible corner (0:21:50) Al: of the shows to figure out what is good and what is not. And there we go. And I’m not (0:21:58) Al: with that information. (0:22:00) Kev: Oh, you’re- you’re- you’re- I think you’re a stronger man than me to going through all this. This is wild. Wild stuff. (0:22:06) Al: This is this is not the worst DC show I’ve seen by far, like. (0:22:10) Kev: Oh, I’m sure. Yeah, no, it- (0:22:12) Kev: No, I’m just- I’m just saying, this- you’re going to all the corners, like, that’s- that’s a lot. But yeah, no, I’m sure there’s much, much worse, um, I can’t think of any, but I know. laughs (0:22:22) Al: So now I get to, now I get to treat myself by going back and watching the good animated (0:22:26) Kev: Oh, yeah. Yeah. Um, dang, that’s- that’s fascinating. (0:22:27) Al: shows now, so. There is that. Have you been watching the new Superman one? (0:22:32) Kev: Uh, no, but I watch- well, okay, I’ve not watched a show, but I’ve watched a lot of it, uh, through- where? Let’s say that. laughs (0:22:33) Al: Oh (0:22:42) Kev: Um, it’s- it- it’s- it’s fascinating. They- like, I mean, first of all, they’re updating all the characters to give ’em a little more flavor, like, you know, everyone’s not white anymore. (0:22:44) Al: It’s really good, I’m really enjoying it. (0:22:52) Al: Yeah (0:22:54) Kev: Um. laughs (0:22:57) Al: What (0:22:59) Al: They did that in they did that in the the arrow verse as well like (0:23:03) Al: Jimmy Jimmy was was instead of like a small white (0:23:08) Kev: Yeah, yeah (0:23:08) Al: Wimpy guy. He was a big black buff dude (0:23:12) Kev: Yeah, that’s awesome, that’s dope (0:23:14) Al: Yeah, I like how different you know just completely different (0:23:17) Kev: Yeah, yeah, I like that. Um, yeah (0:23:20) Al: He was he was not a traditional narrative you just (0:23:22) Al: big guy who liked taking photos they turn it they turn him into a superhero as well by the end of it (0:23:24) Kev: Yeah, oh that’s that’s great I love that cuz (0:23:29) Kev: Of course because yeah (0:23:31) Al: not with powers but like he’s he’s literally just uh he he puts on a suit and he goes and beats (0:23:36) Al: people up with a shield yeah yeah this is what I love the most about comic book stories right (0:23:38) Kev: I mean, hey, Batman, right, like… (0:23:41) Kev: Um… (0:23:42) Kev: But yeah, no, like, Jimmy Olsen’s the most nothing ever, so you can turn him into whatever, and it’s fine. (0:23:53) Al: what you can do is you can you you have like a basis to build on and then you can do different (0:23:59) Al: things with them and like I really love without spoilers I really love what they’re doing with (0:24:03) Al: like kara um in this in this season it’s it’s really different and yeah so I i just I love when (0:24:11) Al: they take existing characters and say but what if we do it differently (0:24:14) Kev: Yeah, yeah, I like I like her a lot from the the new show. I’ve seen her lots lots of cool moments and her character and arc and stuffs (0:24:25) Kev: Yeah, and boy do they like their anime cuz there’s a lot anime references abound in that one (0:24:32) Kev: Yeah, good stuff (0:24:34) Kev: Yeah, yeah, um (0:24:36) Al: And we got the new Batman one coming as well (0:24:38) Kev: There’s another Batman oh my gosh, I haven’t kept up with this I’m looking (0:24:42) Al: No, but this is this this one looks good this one looks good is being touted as the spiritual successor to the Batman the animated series (0:24:49) Kev: Ohh, don’t sell yourself like that! (0:24:52) Kev: Umm, that’s… that’s our… that’s just setting yourself up to fail. (0:24:57) Kev: Um, that’s… here’s the thing though, like, a lot of the… (0:25:01) Kev: Batman shows I think are pretty good, or the cart to animated ones. (0:25:04) Kev: Regardless of what they look like, or what they are. (0:25:08) Kev: Um, but yeah, uh… (0:25:11) Kev: Oh, shoot! Oh, it’s Bruce Timm! Okay, maybe it is a bit better than… (0:25:14) Kev: Bruce Timm’s actually on it. (0:25:16) Al: …Caped Crusader, that sort of thing. (0:25:16) Kev: Yeah. Oh, okay, maybe. (0:25:19) Kev: Oh, I didn’t know Bruce Jim was on it, nevermind. Maybe, maybe. (0:25:22) Kev: We’ll give it a shot. (0:25:24) Al: And there’s the new Cape Man series coming soon as well. (0:25:26) Kev: Oh my gosh, I saw that. (0:25:30) Kev: One thing I saw on Twitter is a tweet that said that how Kipeman got a series before Wonder Woman did. (0:25:36) Al: I love I presume you’ve seen the Harley Quinn series. (0:25:37) Kev: Good times. (0:25:40) Kev: I’ve seen, again, bits and parts of it. Yeah. (0:25:44) Al: I just it’s really good and I love the idea of having a spinoff Kite Man series is just (0:25:50) Al: perfectly in character for that whole show. Like of course, of course that’s the first (0:25:52) Kev: The tone yeah (0:25:57) Al: spinoff they would do from that. Like why wouldn’t they? Like it would just the most (0:25:57) Kev: Yeah (0:26:00) Al: ridiculous idea. (0:26:01) Kev: Yeah, absolutely (0:26:05) Kev: So the Aquaman do you see wasn’t that (0:26:06) Al: I am half expecting them to announce a third DLC for this game, you know just after we (0:26:14) Kev: I abs- right? (0:26:16) Al: finish the episodes. (0:26:18) Kev: I mean, yeah, like, absolutely cuz (0:26:22) Kev: Reg made sense (0:26:25) Kev: Godzilla was a huge get, holy moly, um, and I- I expect (0:26:34) Al: They did announce a new collaboration, but it’s not in their game. It’s their game in (0:26:40) Al: something else. Let me find what it was. Because they announced it like three days ago as we’re (0:26:45) Al: recording, and Kelly was like, “Oh, there’s a new DLC!” and we looked at it and went, (0:26:49) Al: “No, wait, that’s not a DLC in Dave the Diver. Nikkei? N-I-K-K-E? Goddess of victory?” (0:26:51) Kev: Can we get… (0:26:54) Kev: Nie-J! Wait, Jason’s like, “What?! What?!” (0:26:58) Al: Okay, so they have, and I’m not kidding, this is not a joke, they have recreated (0:27:04) Al: the Dave the Diver game inside the Nikkei game. (0:27:10) Kev: Is that how it works because I was very good. Okay. Oh my god. Okay. Are you for new kid at all? (0:27:18) Kev: Okay, so I am somewhat familiar Nick gave the premise of I’ve never put I haven’t played it myself but um (0:27:24) Kev: So it is a gotcha shooter. I guess I’m like over-the-shoulder third-person like XCOM style shooter (0:27:32) Kev: It’s a mobile game. I believe I believe it’s actually quite good for when I hear the gameplay is actually quite good. Um, (0:27:38) Kev: but it (0:27:40) Kev: It okay, so it’s a gotcha game, and of course you’re pulling your different shooters and whatnot, but (0:27:47) Kev: Here’s here’s the kicker. Here’s the sauce (0:27:52) Kev: The characters are all anime girls, and you know what comes with that (0:27:56) Al: Yeah, I can tell from the images that I’m seeing on the Dave the Diver collaboration. (0:28:00) Kev: Yeah, yeah, so to hear Dave the diver go to that was wild (0:28:09) Al: So what it seems to be is it’s a minigame within Nikkei, but it’s like it just looks (0:28:14) Al: like the entire Dave the Diver game, right, like you see them, so some of the characters (0:28:20) Al: from Nikkei get transported into Dave the Diver and they’re like in like wetsuits and (0:28:26) Al: got their harpoon guns and stuff. And then you actually see them like playing the game, (0:28:33) Al: like going around and harpooning fish and picking up items and then they go to the sushi (0:28:38) Al: bar and it looks like they’ve just recreated the game. Let me show you, let me send you (0:28:41) Kev: I’m once looking at the pictures and (0:28:43) Al: this link. You need to watch this video. It’s just, it’s wild. There’s a video on the link (0:28:47) Kev: AHHH! This is WAAH! (0:28:52) Al: that I sent you, it literally just looks like the game. Which is why we initially (0:28:56) Al: thought it was a DLC for a Day of the Diver because it looks so much like it. (0:29:06) Kev: But oh my gosh, that’s why I had no idea. I didn’t hear this about this one at all. I love it though (0:29:13) Kev: Um, and yeah, I love it there. Do you have your anime girls and there’s dave? Um, just just david (0:29:19) Kev: Oh dave. I love dave man (0:29:23) Kev: Um (0:29:24) Kev: I’m pulling out the video one second. Let’s take a second (0:29:27) Kev: um (0:29:28) Kev: man that (0:29:30) Kev: my guess (0:29:31) Kev: before since nike which (0:29:33) Kev: took me completely off by surprise I was going to (0:29:36) Kev: say power wash simulator and have a david diver dlc and power washing the boat or the (0:29:42) Al: Yeah! (0:29:46) Kev: sushi bar or something, it could absolutely work, um, yeah that’s my uh (0:29:52) Al: That’s fine, we’ll get Cody to cover that one then, because they’ve completely finished the Powerwash simulation. (0:29:58) Kev: I need to get into that Powerwash Swiss. (0:30:01) Kev: Oh my god, I’m watching the video now. (0:30:03) Kev: Oh, there he is! (0:30:04) Kev: Oh my god! (0:30:05) Kev: What did we want? (0:30:07) Kev: There’s Dave. (0:30:08) Kev: Oh, there’s, they’re transforming. (0:30:11) Kev: They got warped into the boat. (0:30:12) Kev: Oh my god, wow, even the UI and stuff, it is just recreated! (0:30:16) Al: Yeah, what did I tell you? (0:30:18) Kev: Wow! (0:30:20) Kev: That is just Dave the Diver in… (0:30:22) Kev: Wow, man, that’s a Mark of… (0:30:26) Kev: Well the fish look this- (0:30:29) Al: uh-huh they’ve even got like the different weapons as well (0:30:30) Kev: They, uh… (0:30:33) Kev: That’s what it is (0:30:36) Kev: Wait look like they have the Boncho scenes? (0:30:39) Kev: They just have them in there. They just actually just put it in there. They’re running the restaurant. Oh my (0:30:45) Kev: Wow, Nikkei was rich enough to just add the entire game in there. Okay. Oh, there it is (0:30:51) Kev: There is the Nikkei costumes I was looking for (0:30:55) Kev: But that’s wild it’s just (0:30:58) Al: Yeah, what’s the thing? Can you imagine another game just adding a game into their game as (0:31:04) Kev: I mean, I mean port night does it all the time, but like that’s what I’m saying. You got to be (0:31:04) Al: a minigame? Yeah, sure, but they’re one of the biggest game of all time. This is a big (0:31:10) Kev: Yeah, I know you got to be rich enough to do that and well, I guess Niki (0:31:15) Kev: Shot you this might surprise you up, but Niki does one actually being a (0:31:21) Kev: Being a shooter and gotcha game and anime here. So yeah. All right. They could probably (0:31:23) Al: No. (0:31:28) Al: People like the anime girls with big guns, really? (0:31:33) Kev: Oh, okay. (0:31:34) Al: OK, so Dave the Diver, half an hour in, (0:31:35) Kev: Yes, let’s- (0:31:37) Kev: What is Dave the Diver? Our listener’s pets. (0:31:40) Al: and we’re finally talking about the game. (0:31:42) Al: Yes, so, I guess, quick intro to the game, (0:31:44) Al: in case anybody doesn’t know. (0:31:46) Al: The idea is it is a diving fishing game. (0:31:50) Al: So you dive into the water and you catch fish through a variety of means and you use those fish to then make sushi in the sushi restaurant that you don’t own but you essentially run and therefore essentially get all the profits even though you don’t own it and the owner is the chef. (0:32:14) Al: It’s all a bit weird. Confusing. But that’s essentially… (0:32:16) Kev: I thought the owner was Cobra. Not the owner’s Cobra, isn’t it? (0:32:21) Kev: No, I’m pretty sure Bunch is just the head chef. Yeah, no, I’m pretty sure Cobra is the owner. So (0:32:21) Al: Is Bancho not owned it? (0:32:22) Al: It’s been so long since I’ve… (0:32:24) Al: Hmm. (0:32:26) Kev: Here, let me take it back (0:32:29) Kev: even further let me (0:32:31) Al: It’s financed by Cobra, financed by Cobra and run by Bancho. (0:32:32) Kev: Is it okay, maybe. Well, he’s making money off of it. There you go. Well poor Dave (0:32:39) Al: But you seem to get all of the profit profits from it. (0:32:41) Kev: Of course poor Dave needs to be assertive more assertive because uh (0:32:46) Kev: He was literally on vacation when the guy Cobra calls him up and just tells him hey (0:32:50) Kev: You’re gonna go dive fishing now and run the restaurant and do everything else and he just always agrees (0:32:51) Al: Yeah. (0:33:00) Al: So, that’s a quick intro to the game. (0:33:03) Al: Give us your very quick what you feel about the game before we get into the details. (0:33:08) Kev: Okay, um, the games excellently. What can I say right like the so it’s it’s pixel art and and it’s fine pixel art (0:33:17) Kev: the (0:33:18) Al: It’s very detailed pixel art. (0:33:19) Kev: Yeah, it is. Um, it’s (0:33:23) Kev: the gameplay is fun in catching the fish and and whatnot the (0:33:29) Kev: The upgrades are all satisfying and and and the progression feels natural and in goes well (0:33:38) Kev: like (0:33:40) Kev: You know all the mechanical stuff like it’s great when the game knocks out of the park (0:33:44) Kev: But I think always more important for me is the feel or the aesthetic the vibes whatever you want to call it (0:33:50) Kev: And I think they do great. It’s a very comical game (0:33:53) Kev: The writing is is entertaining (0:33:57) Kev: Again the character Dave I love him a lot and (0:34:00) Kev: The other part that they get right is the underwater portion (0:34:05) Kev: Fish are all accurately represented they’re all (0:34:08) Kev: well that’s majority of them are real life fish (0:34:12) Kev: and you can learn about them and then (0:34:14) Al: Yeah. I wouldn’t say vast majority, but you’ve not got to that point. But yeah, (0:34:18) Al: majority. I’ll go with majority. (0:34:19) Kev: let’s say the majority yes (0:34:22) Kev: uh… and then you get to the you know you go the whole gamut of the sea the (0:34:27) Kev: tropical fish down to (0:34:30) Kev: horrifying deaths with the monstrosities the the real life monstrosities and the (0:34:34) Kev: fake monstrosities down there (0:34:38) Kev: all like just thumbs up everywhere like I don’t have any (0:34:41) Kev: big complaints I can’t go about the top my head (0:34:44) Kev: uh… what about you out what do you (0:34:47) Al: Yeah, I’m mostly on the same page as you. It’s super fun. The two main things being (0:34:54) Al: the fishing and the sushi restaurant, they are good fun. You’re absolutely right. It (0:34:59) Al: doesn’t take itself seriously because I’m literally catching fish by swimming through (0:35:05) Al: and stabbing them. Sure, you’ve got your harpoon, and that’s a standard way to fish, but you’ve (0:35:12) Al: also got literally guns and a knife, and you can just walk up to a shark and… (0:35:17) Al: You can swim up to a shark and hit it with a baseball bat. Or there’s also if you encountered (0:35:22) Kev: - Yep, or the toy hammer. (0:35:27) Al: the baseball itself, you can get baseball. You can throw baseballs at sharks. They actually (0:35:29) Kev: I haven’t found the baseball. (0:35:34) Al: do a lot of damage, but yeah. It definitely doesn’t take it seriously, and it’s really (0:35:39) Al: fun, but it tries to do kind of vague realism with the fish, and it’s… (0:35:48) Al: It’s not super easy. There is some challenge to it, especially later on in the game, and (0:35:51) Kev: - Yeah, I can imagine. (0:35:54) Kev: - Mm-hmm. (0:35:54) Al: especially catching some of the fish with some of the boss battles and stuff like that. (0:36:01) Al: But yeah, no, super fun, super silly. Definitely my humour. I really enjoyed it overall. I (0:36:07) Al: do have a few complaints, but they’re mostly around the fact that there are about 10 random (0:36:15) Al: many games that exist in the game. (0:36:17) Al: There’s a point where you’re like ‘here’s an ice pick’ and you have to use the ice (0:36:26) Kev: That’s why… (0:36:36) Al: pick to pick through a sheet of ice, and that happens once. Ever. And if you fail it, you (0:36:40) Kev: Mm-hmm (0:36:43) Al: just try it again. Right? Like, a lot of these (0:36:44) Kev: Mm-hmm (0:36:47) Al: minigames feel a bit like WarioWare to me, when it’s like, right, you have 10 seconds (0:36:49) Kev: Hmm (0:36:52) Al: to figure out what you’re doing, otherwise you’ve failed and you have to try again. (0:36:56) Al: And it just feels like, what was the point in that? Like, these random, like, they aren’t (0:37:01) Al: part of the core, they’re completely different type of gameplay to everything else in the (0:37:05) Al: game. And I just, it’s really weird. The other thing is, have you done any of the VIP, the (0:37:14) Al: new items. (0:37:18) Al: So like random people will turn up to your sushi restaurant and they’ll say, (0:37:21) Al: “Hey, I want this specific thing.” And you have to go and gather the ingredients for (0:37:22) Kev: Yeah, yeah. (0:37:26) Al: that specific thing, and then two days later you take them to the sushi restaurant, (0:37:31) Al: Banjo will cook them sushi, and then you get success and you win some money. (0:37:34) Kev: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, you unlock things that way. A lot of things that way. (0:37:39) Al: You do, but I did about five or six of them, and then randomly they started (0:37:47) Al: extra minigames to make Banjo cook them the sushi. You start cooking it yourself. (0:37:50) Kev: What? (0:37:52) Kev: I haven’t gotten there wha- (0:37:53) Al: It’s actually Banjo, but you’re controlling Banjo to do that. (0:37:57) Al: And I have no idea why, like the first five or six, it’s just gather the ingredients, (0:38:00) Al: you see a cut scene, the person eats it, they’re like, “Wow, it’s amazing.” (0:38:04) Al: And then you’ve unlocked a new menu item. What’s the recipe? There’s one I’m looking for. (0:38:10) Al: Recipe is the word I’m looking for. You unlock a new recipe, you win some money, (0:38:14) Al: you get some thumbs up on your cookstart app. (0:38:17) Al: Great, fantastic. But then, like, I’ve done two. Two out of the seven I’ve done, (0:38:23) Al: they make you do six different minigames to cook the sushi. And I’m like, one, why? (0:38:30) Al: Right? Like, I just don’t know why. Two, why is this a change? Why were they all not like this? (0:38:37) Al: This is really random, the change up here. (0:38:38) Kev: that is wild that is very random because I’ve been playing for a while and haven’t encountered (0:38:44) Kev: that yet and that comes out of nowhere six that’s wild six out of seven right (0:38:46) Al: I didn’t get that till chapter six. I don’t know why they do that. Yes. Yeah. I don’t (0:38:57) Al: know why. I’ve got another one due in two days, and I don’t know whether that’s going (0:39:01) Al: to have minigames or not, but it just is really weird because I was like, oh, I was fully (0:39:06) Al: just expecting the cutscene and the person to like, wow, that’s amazing. And suddenly (0:39:11) Al: it was showing me these random WarioWare minigames. It’s so weird. (0:39:15) Kev: That is that is wild (0:39:16) Al: So that would that would be my biggest issue with the game. And it’s not a huge issue, (0:39:22) Kev: Soar yeah (0:39:25) Al: right? Because it’s not something that happens very often. None of them are really difficult. (0:39:28) Al: And if you fail them, I think other than the VIP menu items, other than that, I think you (0:39:33) Al: just retry them. But it just feels like this is not anything like the core gameplay. It’s (0:39:34) Kev: Yeah, yeah. (0:39:39) Kev: Yeah, it sounds jarring. (0:39:40) Al: and it is very jarring. You’re like, I’m, I’m, you know, swimming. (0:39:46) Al: I’m going around killing some fish. I’m doing some puzzles. I’m getting round and then suddenly (0:39:51) Al: it’s like, oh, no, you need to do this Ace Pick minigame. Or no, you need to do this. (0:39:56) Al: The drill, you did the drill one, I presume to get into the I think that’s quite early (0:39:58) Kev: Yeah, I forgot about the drill. Yeah (0:40:01) Al: on in. That’s the sort of thing I’m talking about. (0:40:05) Kev: Well, yeah, you know what that’s a good point like I yeah, yeah, I thought about the drill like (0:40:11) Al: You use that drill, you use that drill twice. (0:40:13) Kev: Yeah, you used to get in somewhere and it feels like you could use it somewhere else like (0:40:15) Al: In the whole game, twice. (0:40:19) Al: And never again, twice, ever. (0:40:22) Kev: That is if I all right, here’s my copium like if I were to try to make any sense out of this like they’re playing (0:40:29) Kev: Oh, obviously they’re still working on the game, right? We’re still getting updates and stuff. So, you know, maybe we’ll get a big (0:40:36) Kev: Postgame DLC even more of it. I don’t know but you’re right. Like (0:40:40) Kev: It is wild to think about I don’t think so either, but I’m just spitballing here (0:40:41) Al: I’d be very surprised if they ever come back to any of these again. It’s just this is what (0:40:54) Al: it is and it felt like they just had an idea for these and decided to put them in but they (0:40:58) Al: didn’t really want to add them in very much. It’s jarring. It’s a bit odd. It conflicts (0:41:09) Al: so much with the great gameplay that the brand- (0:41:11) Al: rest of the game is. And every time I encountered when I was just like, “Oh, not again.” I’d spend the one minute to do it, and then I’d be like, “Thank goodness that’s over, and I know they’ll never have to do that one again.” (0:41:15) Kev: Yeah. (0:41:19) Kev: Mm-hmm. (0:41:22) Kev: Mm. (0:41:23) Al: Then you move on and you continue playing the game that you’re actually enjoying. (0:41:26) Kev: Yeah, yeah, I g- huh. (0:41:29) Kev: That is so odd, like, I just wonder if they were trying to break up the, like, the pacing, or, or didn’t want the game to feel too monotonous, because, like, how could I put this? (0:41:42) Al: It doesn’t stop that, though, because it’s like 10 different things that only take 30 (0:41:44) Kev: Yeah. (0:41:46) Kev: Yeah. (0:41:47) Kev: Yeah, I don’t know. (0:41:47) Al: seconds each. (0:41:49) Al: It doesn’t really do that. (0:41:49) Kev: I’m, I’m baffled. (0:41:51) Kev: I’m just trying to figure it out, but I, I’m just as puzzled as you are. (0:41:54) Al: Anyway, that’s my main complaint. (0:42:00) Al: It’s not a huge one, and it’s just like I’m now done with those so I don’t have to worry (0:42:04) Al: about them again. (0:42:05) Al: You know, if I want to continue playing, I can finish doing all the collection and stuff (0:42:09) Al: like that and finish all that which is always fun. (0:42:12) Al: Yeah, it’s just a bit weird. Should we talk about some of the actual mechanics then? (0:42:16) Kev: All right, yeah, yeah, okay, so (0:42:17) Al: Get into the good stuff. Talk to us about diving. (0:42:19) Kev: Yes, let’s start with that right cuz that’s that’s the name of the game and it would say it’s the primary mechanic (0:42:27) Kev: Okay, so (0:42:29) Kev: the at the start of the game (0:42:32) Kev: the game day is broken up into three phases morning afternoon and night and (0:42:37) Kev: Here’s your first two phases of morning and afternoon to go diving and hunt fish (0:42:42) Kev: and it’s pretty (0:42:46) Kev: At least at the beginning. I think it’s fairly it’s (0:42:48) Kev: Relatively simple or straightforward that the basic one is harpooning (0:42:52) Kev: So you you move around with Dave you have a limited air supply because you’re diving of course (0:42:58) Kev: And the air supply is essentially your HP. There’s no timer, but the the age the air is going down (0:43:04) Al: Yep. There’s a timer that you can reset, yeah. (0:43:05) Kev: so there’s a sort of (0:43:07) Kev: inherent timer, but you can find (0:43:10) Kev: Exactly. Yes, you can find (0:43:13) Kev: supplies of oxygen throughout the map. (0:43:16) Kev: And so you swim around you you have your harpoon gun which you what is it (0:43:29) Kev: like there’s ZR or a whatever and then a little targeting reticle shows up kind (0:43:35) Kev: of like the angle you’re supposed to fire the harpoon and you push the other (0:43:39) Kev: button and it fires it and it hits the fish and that at the most basic level is (0:43:46) Kev: is how you catch fish. Now of course that they add a lot more to that because (0:43:53) Kev: early on in the very like surface level a lot of the fish are small and easy to (0:43:58) Kev: catch but later on some fish will require actually multiple harpoonings to (0:44:03) Kev: get because they have more quote-unquote HP or what have you. As Al said you are (0:44:11) Kev: given a melee weapon you have a knife by default but you can find other ones (0:44:14) Kev: throughout the map. (0:44:16) Kev: The baseball bat, the sword, the hammer, things like that. (0:44:20) Al: The sleepy hammer. It’s so sick because it puts them to sleep. You’re just like knocking them out. (0:44:21) Kev: Yep, the squeaky hammer, that is a good one. (0:44:23) Kev: Yep, yep, yep, yep. (0:44:28) Kev: And you can use those, but they are a little riskier because some of the fish can damage you. (0:44:33) Kev: There are aggressive fish, as the ocean is. (0:44:38) Kev: And when they attack you, you lose oxygen, essentially. (0:44:41) Kev: Again, that’s your timer and your HP bar. (0:44:43) Kev: Um, uh, (0:44:46) Kev: Uh, later on you get guns, as Al said, um, which, uh, do not capture the fish as the harpoon does, but inflict a lot more damage. There’s a, uh, (0:44:57) Al: I think you know exactly what they do, they shit them. That’s it. (0:44:59) Kev: Yeah, there’s a few different ones. There’s like a long range, a close range. Uh, there’s actually a net gun that can catch some of them live, but that’s a, that’s a bit trickier. But, but yeah. Um, and you need the guns because later on, uh, some of those, uh, like, for instance, (0:45:16) Kev: imagine a shark will be a lot more HP heavy than a little fish and it will attack you. So just trying to harpoon it over and over, it will be a bit difficult. So use the gun to weaken the fish essentially. Um, some fish actually like the sharks cannot be actually harpooned. Uh, you just have to straight up kill them, um, uh, to get their meat and whatnot. (0:45:38) Al: although although you can use the harpin to damage (0:45:40) Kev: You can use the harpoon to damage on it. That is correct. Um, because the guns do have ammo and you, (0:45:46) Kev: they’re just, you know, ammo refills throughout the map. But if you run out of ammo, you have to switch to the harpoon to try to finish them off or whatnot. Um, yeah. And I, and of course that there’s a wide variety of fish. And sometimes they, they have different attacks or patterns or whatnot. Right. Some fish will charge it. You some will like jellyfish will try to sting you or generate electricity. There’s even a jellyfish that explodes, um, (0:46:16) Kev: which is what you see here. Yes, I have. (0:46:16) Al: Oh yeah. Have you managed to catch one of them yet? Yeah. That was really difficult because (0:46:21) Al: I was looking through my decks and I was like, “Oh, I’m missing one from the depths.” And (0:46:25) Kev: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That’s a kicker with that one. You have to act fast because even if it doesn’t hurt you, it still blows up like, you know, like a vault’s work or whatever. Um, (0:46:28) Al: I saw it was, “Oh, it’s that jellyfish, isn’t it?” And I’m like, “Oh, I need to catch it (0:46:32) Al: before it blows up.” (0:46:42) Al: - Yeah, and if it sets itself off and you shoot it, (0:46:46) Kev: Uh-huh. (0:46:46) Al: then it will blow up, right? (0:46:47) Al: So you need to either attack it without it seeing you (0:46:50) Al: or you need to catch it or stun it or something like that. (0:46:53) Al: There’s like, you can’t, you can’t just, (0:46:55) Al: ‘cause like, so you spend most of the time just going, (0:46:57) Al: oh, I’ll just whittle down their HP, kill them, (0:46:59) Al: and then catch them, but that doesn’t work for that (0:47:02) Al: ‘cause it just blows up. (0:47:02) Kev: Right right right right um (0:47:05) Kev: Yeah, and at least from what I’ve encountered. I think that’s kind of the general flow of how you go diving (0:47:11) Kev: but (0:47:12) Kev: Of course you can upgrade all you know a lot of equipment to upgrade you can upgrade your guns your harpoon (0:47:20) Kev: You can upgrade your diving suit to go deeper. You can upgrade your oxygen tank to the last longer (0:47:27) Kev: and there’s probably a few other ones I can’t remember right now, but (0:47:31) Kev: But yeah, they are (0:47:33) Kev: You catch all these fish and then you make mone

The extraterrestrial comedy podcast where we probe a gosh damned UFO crash landing. A burning object was seen in the sky across much of North America and Canada in December 1965 before hitting the ground in Pennsylvania's Kecksburg. The military quickly arrived, suspiciously quickly in fact, but before they did a local managed to investigate the crash. The local fire service too were called in but were stood down by armed military. Since this time, an Air Force Security Officer who was tasked with guarding the object has come forward to confirm that this event took place. Yes, there are several witnesses to these events. Something came down. Something our governments don't want us to know about. The only question that remains is what that object was. Was it a drone? Well and the small matter of whether this case links to the Nazi Alien or technologically advanced Die Glocke? Does Kev owe Granville £500 £750 £1000 £3000 and is the amount on record?

The extraterrestrial comedy podcast where we probe several simian sightings from 1878, 1879, the late 1800's and as recently as the 1980's in England within the United Kingdom. Is there a ghostly gorilla roaming the lands of the Shropshire Union Canal? Does this creature stalk those who pass Bridge 39? Is this creature cold? Or is the creature responsible for these several shocks actually the lingering spirit of a deceased workman from the area, as the police of the day seemed to believe? Or perhaps a gorilla on horseback roams the British countryside to this day? Was this thing a Pokemon? Alongside that it is pondered as to what gorilla's like to do with bananas… HERE HE COMES BANANA SLAMMA KONGO BONGO's HERO.

The extraterrestrial comedy podcast where we probe someone who is officially the most successful pirate in history, Black Sam Bellamy. Black Sam came from humble beginnings, a young British Navy sailor who turned treasure hunter in order to secure the marriage of Sam's true love (Sam had to get rich or die trying). Things went a bit sideways however when Sam found that the 1715 Treasure Fleet had already been recovered (well, the easy bits at least) meaning that Sam had no quick and easy treasure to achieve his goal. What's a skilled man of the sea to do when in need of money? That's right, PIRATE. Black Sam Bellamy would come in to contact with famous pirates Henry Jennings, Benjamin Hornigold and Blackbeard and join the Flying Gang but Sam would become more successful than all of them, depending upon how you define success… From storming ships naked to deceiving ships with fake flags, Sam earned well over one hundred million dollars in today's currency. At the height of Sam's success however, Sam longed for love. Allegedly. Truthfully. At this very same moment, it is alleged that Sam's love, who had encountered misery whilst waiting for Sam, placed a curse on Sam. Sam, unaware of the misery of his love, would one day return but this day may just have been Sam's last. Was witchcraft responsible? Alongside that, we ask whether a pirate can be truly good if they put everything to the vote… All that and more on this week's file.     Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/butitwasaliens   Store: https://butitwasaliens.co.uk/shop/     Probe us: Email: butitwasaliens@gmail.com Instagram/Threads @ ButItWasAliens Twitter @ ButItWasAliens Facebook: @ ButItWasAliens - join Extraterrestrial Towers     Music:  Music created via Garageband.

Well, not that type of Independence Day but a big-a** spaceship may have breached then-Soviet airspace. The smart folks (possibly the adults because those witnesses may have allegedly truthfully disappeared) ran. Those with their wits perhaps less about them, stood awestruck. Did the craft land? If a craft lands and an alien exits said craft, the first thing they teach you in MiB Academy is to not directly approach an alien. One child didn't follow this teaching, f'd around and found out. Parallel to that, this one was witnessed by the police and with such an authentic sighting, this one quickly made it's way to the media of the time. State media. Scientific analysis ensued. Alongside that it is pondered through the episode… What kind of potential weapon found laying around the house would be best to combat an alien invader? What could you say to an alien that would result in the alien immediately opening fire on you?

The extraterrestrial comedy podcast where we probe an alleged physical assault on Bigfoot. It's the Sassy Saga part two - the second time we've probed Bigfoot. In 2010, Tim Peeler's dogs were in heat which was very important for us to know. That heat, may have attracted Bigfoot. Ole' Sassy themselves. Being randy, Bigfoot simply wouldn't ‘GET' and so Tim had to take action. That action was first to poke Sasquatch with a stick but when that didn't work, Tim brought out the big guns. Tim's gun. By gun, we mean Tim's arm - Tim punched Bigfoot. That's right, Tim Peeler, is the man who socked Bigfoot. What did Bigfoot do? This led us to another emergency services call about Bigfoot over in Washington State. Are these two calls the most compelling Bigfoot eye witness accounts there have ever been? Alongside that we ponder whether coyotes are coy… Was Tim Peeler a Pokemon trainer? Can Bigfoot speak dog? All that and more on this week's file.

The extraterrestrial comedy podcast where we probe the most possessed/haunted house possibly ever documented, the Ammons house. Between 2011 and 2012, this house is believed to have been attacked by demons. It all starts as many a Hollywood tale have, with flies. Blankets of flies covering a house without known cause. Things only got worse from there. Soon, there were footsteps, creaks and even an unknown figure. It's safe to say that Mr Moonwalker and Kev would've pegged it way before any figures made an appearance but on with the tale we must go. If you can sense otherworldly presences, but they can't be seen or heard in general, how can you tell how many there are? Does The Vision operate like a known sense e.g. where you can perceive different tones and pitch, or perceive different levels of light? You know people always suggest that if haunted and what-not, folks should move, but that isn't actually always a realistic option. People therefore have to look to other methods and that's exactly what this family did. Some of those methods were pretty wild. This case may well be the most well documented (officially) events that we have ever covered. Alongside all of this, we learn of another of Mr Moonwalker's disturbing dreams.

It's not just d*cks either, for some folks were losing nipples. These incidents have resulted in much pain and suffering via mob justice. There have also been police prosecutions related to these cases of vanishing penis. Alongside these horrific events we ponder whether a micropenis is the size of a nose?

The extraterrestrial comedy podcast where we probe the Majestic 12. Or should that be Majority 12? Or is that the Shi*ty Six? It's said that right around the time of the Roswell UFO crash of 1947, a group hidden beyond plain sight were formed to first examine alien remains before ultimately controlling decision-making pertaining to alien visitation to earth, as well as controlling the development of our own future based upon alien technology. There have been documents uncovered over the years lending some credibility to this story. Enough credibility in fact that the Air Force and FBI have taken a look. Those documents included a Majestic 12 1952 Briefing given by an anonymous intelligence official to Britain's leading ufologist of the time, Timothy Good. Across the pond, UFO researcher Jaime Shandera also received this 1952 briefing, purported to be written by a Head of Central Intelligence, Roscoe Hillenkoetter, for President-elect Dwight Eisenhower, outlining the creation of the Majestic 12. This led to a probing of archives which uncovered further mention of this mysterious group in official records. Aliens WERE recovered at Roswell AND elsewhere! Some say this is all legitimate. Others believe that this is a hoax. Others still, acknowledge that the best cover up of all may indeed be to just tell the truth, sprinkled with one or two easily disprovable elements to convince the world that the truth is too bonkers to be real.

The extraterrestrial comedy podcast where we probe Tarrare. Tarrare, liked to eat. Tarrier liked to eat a lot. As a baby, anything left with Tarrare would be gobbled. The child could consume his own bodyweight in meat. Was this a mutant? An X-Man? The first X-Person? A ghoul or some other form of monster? Or was Tarrare the very embodiment of gluttony? An infectious literal sin roaming the world? Regardless, Tarrare would go on to live quite the life - performing on the streets before ending up in the French military. There, Tarrare would become secret agent 00-hungry but there was a fatal flaw in Tarrare's career. No matter what Tarrare did, Tarrare was still hungry. Did Tarrare have a wormhole inside his tum-tum? Or can human physiology, neurology, psychology and psychiatry explain this?

Juan would be sucked off too and before you know it, Juan was offered a trade. A box in exchange for the kite. But WHAT'S IN THE BOX? Juan, would find out because Juan wanted to play with the alien girl's box but after returning to earth, all was not as fun as it seemed.

The extraterrestrial comedy podcast where we probe UK politics councillor from the Labour Party, Simon Parkes. Simon's life had quite the start with members of his family including his mother working for secret services. Sadly, that didn't end well and gave Simon quite a tough upbringing. Simon would be ok though for Simon had a second mother. A real mother. A mother who had been visiting Simon since Simon was in the womb and would continue to visit Simon and basically line up sexual encounters, even when Simon worked in local government services. Simon consented but was also made to believe that he felt things so this one is very muddy. What is less muddy however is that Simon has appeared on British television to share his story and that story includes being the father of a hybrid child. Simon really likes cat. Alongside that, we ponder the nature of holographic sex… All that and more on this week's file.     Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/butitwasaliens   Store: https://butitwasaliens.co.uk/shop/     Probe us: Email: butitwasaliens@gmail.com Instagram/Threads @ ButItWasAliens Twitter @ ButItWasAliens Facebook: @ ButItWasAliens - join Extraterrestrial Towers     Music:  Music created via Garageband.

The extraterrestrial comedy podcast where we probe whether Santa Claus is evil. Is Santa an evil alien? This one dates back to before the Common Era and is evidenced in the Bible itself (Jeremiah 7:31, Leviticus 18:21 and Isaiah 63: 2-3). We move from the Bible to modern pop music as we outline a trail of evil hidden in plain sight. Every time Santa did bad and was noticed, Santa changed their name and moved on! Amidst that, we reflect on Christmas past. Alongside this, it is asked… Is Stranger Things worth watching? Mr Moonwalker has yet to confirm that he's watched Squid Game, either (just saying). Can children sense true evil, before they are corrupted by the world? All that and more on this week's file.

The extraterrestrial comedy podcast where we probe the most haunted doll in the world, the world famous Robert The Doll. This doll has about four origin stories and we cover the most likely as well as a few less verifiable. Regardless, this is one old and creepy looking thing that has allegedly messed with people for more than a century at time of recording in late 2023. It is said that Robert Eugene ‘Gene' Otto always had an unhealthy relationship with Robert the Doll and indeed, the doll appears to have been cared for much like a human. Did Robert return that care? There have been hundreds of witnesses to the power of Robert and those powers continue to this day as less thoughtful, less considerate individuals visit Robert in his current residence and take photos of Robert, without asking for permission. Those same individuals can experience misery until they write to Robert The Doll, apologising. The episode covers theories to explain these incidents including a voodoo curse, demon, negative energy manifesting and pure simple bad luck. But is Robert really responsible for misery, injury, divorce and death?

We breeze through the late 1700's in to the early 1800's as we learn all about the close relationship between Aaron Burr and Burr's daughter, Dear Theodosia. But Burr had to flee the country and when Burr returned to America, Theodosia faced some difficulty in returning to her father. The remnants of that difficulty may still plague the Bald Head Island shoreline today. There be pirates in these waters, Jaaaaaaaack. There be spirits in these waters, Jaaaaaaaaaack. Alongside that we ponder who shot first aka who was the Han between Burr and Alexander Hamilton? We also question whether there is an official honeymoon record? Are Moonwalker and Greybeard married?
