 Hold up, we got a little camera Snifu here. One second, let me fix that meme. All good there. Act two, Nintendo, and an MPLibet off. We've been kind of slacking on the live streams here in the new year, and a bit rough start to the year. However, next week we should be back on our normal stream schedule. So our normal stream schedule for those who don't know, we stream on Mondays, right? That'll be a deal. We do like a little Q&A, a little sesh, a little talky talk about that day's news and all that. And then Tuesday, we have our Pokemon Brilliant Diamond live stream until we beat the game. And then, yeah, we'll move on to a new game after that, the whenever we're done with that game. And then Wednesday, we have the Nintendo Prime podcast, you guys know that. Thursday is actually our only night off of streaming unless there's some other Nintendo Direct or some other reason that we need to stream. And then Friday nights are our end of the week stream. So that's like four nights a week that we stream. It's a lot. How you guys doing? Hope you're having a good day. We get some water here. I hope for those who don't know, all of our super chats slash donations lead to me doing shots on stream. It is Friday. Let's end the week strong. Let me tell you, been a bit of a rough week, but we're not gonna go too much into a lot of that because it has nothing to really do with the channel. Beyond that, I want to just thank you all. Thank you so much for being here. I think it's always important for me to be humble and be respectful and be thankful for all of you here. We only have, you know, 29 people, according to my metrics at least, watching at the moment, which you guys will know, we haven't had that low of live viewers since 2018, 2017, been a while. And you might go, why are the views so low? Why are the concurrent viewers so low? And it's really just because after we got hacked, YouTube stopped sending out notifications to a lot of people and stopped spreading our stuff to new viewers. So we don't attract in a lot of new viewers. So really my content at the moment is super reliant on those of you that are here, liking, sharing, commenting and enjoying. So I want to thank you so much for still sticking by through all of this. While we wait for YouTube's algorithm and AI to bounce back, I have been reassured as of today that the algorithm will bounce back, that things will come back into, and we are a new subscriber. Thanks for subscribing, Chris, un hawat. Thank you so much for subscribing. So yeah, I just want to really, really thank you guys for sticking by and helping us through these rougher times as a channel just until we bounce back. Well, we're going to get there. We're slowly working our way back and I have some new content ideas. One of them we might be teasing later because by the way, these content ideas aren't like things you're going to get all the time. These are going to be sporadic videos, but yeah, there's going to be some variance in content this year besides me just talking about news. That being said, these are the shots of call today. Anything that's under $5 for super chats is a beer, beer shot, there's not too much beer left, but you know what we do, we do the best we can. $5 super chats are kinky, $10 are UV blue, 20 is gold schlager, and then we have the big $100 downhill shot, which I'm just going to put away because I don't think we're going to have any of those today. If we get to any of these alcohols today, I don't know if we will. Beyond that, we also have a member goal. We are at 146 members at the start of this stream right now. If we can ever get to 200, there is a big giveaway plan. So you get, you hit the little join button, like $3 a month minimum or something like that. You don't have to, nobody has to do anything. But yeah, thank you guys so much for just being here. And now that we're done with that preamble, let's get into some stuff. So Eric Sosa says, question, why is your eternal YouTube membership price at $49.99? It's just a membership here. You don't have to like join it. That's like, okay, why is there when you click the super chat button and option the super chat $500? I don't know, it's just an option. Nobody has to do it. It's kind of like, yeah. So literally, like our most popular membership is obviously the $3 membership. I can tell you how many, what the membership splits are. The membership splits are, let's see. We got, we have 107 at the champion tier. We have 31 at the leader tier, six at the legend tier, one at the eternal and one at the mythic level. So, yeah. All right. Let me say hi to everyone who's here. And then we'll get into the couple of stores we got to talk about today. Man, I never thought I'd be talking about Logan Paul on my channel, right? But apparently that's the thing we're gonna cover today. And then we'll talk about some Pokemon legends, Arceus stuff, because there is that ever ongoing debate over if the game is ugly. We had a debate on our podcast whether, whatever it looks like if it even matters. But now we'll actually talk about, hey, is it ugly? Let's look at it. So welcome doggy and Natsu, two of our members of the board of directors for Nintendo Prime though. So when you hit the join button, thank you so much. We got JP here.

Paul Gale Network is here. He wants to know how they go in the night. I'm trying to bring the energy. I'm trying to lift the energy in the room up. It's been a bit of a rough week, but let's end it strong. Ending the week strong is extremely important because ending the week strong helps you kick off the next week, right? Let's see here. Dark Ray King 555 is here. Let's see here. Nintendo Reconnect is here. How's it going? We got the Nintendo's Reviews is here. Taylor Plays is here as well. Steelers or Chiefs Nate. I mean, the Chiefs are probably gonna just wreck them, but you know what? Let's go Steelers. How about an underdog story? The Big Ben says, oh, we've already lost. We know we ain't gonna win. Hey, let's go underdogs, baby. Let's get Big Ben to the next round. Let's go. Upset the Steelers. The Red KS173, how's it going, man? All right. Something Michael Brown got is good. Yep, yep, yep, yep. Errant Crab popping off on the Eagles. Man, the Eagles are underdogs too, man. Let's go. Underdog city until you face my package. And I want you to do it. Um, all right. No, we can just strong, strong starts. Well, yeah, I suppose. Depends on when you consider, like, this is the question I'm gonna put a poll up right now. Do you consider the start of the week on Sundays or Mondays? I always considered Sundays to be the start of the week, but some people say it's Mondays. Is the start of new week on Sundays? Or Mondays? I'm gonna poll you guys right now. I'm curious what you guys think. Sunday, Monday, happy days. Is that Wednesday? Okay, anyways. Showing how old I am that I know about happy days. All right. So, um, shall we get into this Logan Paul weird stuff? Let me, I don't think I have it loaded up. I actually have to type Logan Paul into YouTube, which I don't do that very often. All right, I do watch his video on this. We're gonna kind of like watch his video. It's about seven minutes long, loaded up here. Yeah, we're gonna, where's OBS? OBS. Don't do this to me, OBS. Help me, OBS. You're the only one. I gotta turn down the desktop audio here. So, yeah, we're gonna watch the Logan Paul thing here and just kind of go over how weird it has to be to be card collectors right now. Like, I don't actually feel bad for Logan Paul. I don't think anyone should really feel bad for him. The guy's rich. He's fine. Yeah, in fact, I think he got refunded the money anyways. But, man, it's tough, dude. And like the scams aren't out. Like Pokemon card scamming is like this huge thing. But it's not just Pokemon card scams. Like video game scams. Like if you go on like eBay and you buy like secondhand copies of games, you might not even get the real game you're buying, especially the retro ones. You might just get one that has the right sticker on it, but then you put it in and it's a completely different game or it's just a blank like N64 cartridge, just nothing. Man, it's rough out there right now because the prices for legit stuff are just skyrocketing and skyrocketing. Why is it considered a weekend? Ah, but is Sunday considered part of the weekend? Or is the weekend Saturday? And Sunday's new week. Dun dun dun, dun dun dun dun dun dun dun! Anyways, that feels like one of those TikTok things where the guy's like, hey, if it's called a weekend, then why is Sunday? If you're gonna do a new week, do do do do do, that one. You guys aren't on TikTok, you probably know what I'm talking about. Can't believe I'm referencing TikTok right now. All right, let's get to this Logan Paul thing. Do I have this thing even set up? Let's see if I haven't set up right. Yeah, I do, cool. All right, so let's watch this thing together and go from there. We'll pause as we need to. So yeah, we're in Chicago, you see the title of the video. This story's been crazy and it sucks and I'm out three and a half dollars. What's up? The Kai Chronicles, hold up. The Kai Chronicles, you have become the latest member of the Board of Directors of Nintendo Prime. Thank you so much for becoming a leader on that board. I really appreciate it. We're gonna pour one out, we're gonna pour one for you here anyways, just because we can, even though this isn't a super chat. Thank you so much. We're becoming member number 147 of our Board of Directors. My pocket. All right, here we go. No, no. Is it in here? December. The whole thing is in here. We're sitting in the vicinity of 11 first edition base set Pokemon boxes. This will probably never happen again. So to give you an idea on the background of the story, as you said in this tweet here, Logan Paul dropped 3.5 million on this sealed and authenticated box of first edition Pokemon cards, okay? These are the kind of boxes that would be sent to sports card shops or Walmart, Target, et cetera. And this supposedly is an authenticated, fully sealed box. It actually sold at one point last year for $2.7 million and then Logan Paul bought it from that guy for 3.5 million and you might go, that's a lot of money. Well, 11 first edition unopened new boxes of Pokemon cards would be insane because each individual box is already skyrocketed in price. And then obviously if you're pulling Charizard's, first edition Charizard's and stuff, you're making a shitload of money because there's only so many of these left in the world that haven't even been opened. And it's very rare to see a completely sealed box that's sent to a retailer. And yeah, this was authenticated. And that's what's so crazy about it is the company authenticated this and still you guys are gonna find out like over half of them were not actually what he paid for. Really, really crazy. Yeah, let's just keep going. Release this photo to Twitter. Just drop three and a half million on the sealed and authenticated box of first edition Pokemon card. This was the most anybody had ever spent on Pokemon cards ever. I'm gonna tell you why I don't trust the case, the contents or the authentication. There is enough sketchy stuff going on about the origin of this box. Logan Paul may have spent the 3.5 million on fake Pokemon cards. This news has now reached Logan Paul and it seems like he's taking this very seriously. He's going to fly to Chicago and sit down with BBC to verify the validity of this box. Nope, well, about that, yes. So I'm looking at it, there's nothing suspicious about the outside of the case. Quick context, this is Matt. He's one of the biggest sports card collectors in the world and he bought the Pokemon case for 2.7 million. He then sold it to me for 3.5 million but he's become a close friend and I could trust that he'd refund me if things went wrong. If we crack open that case tonight and inside are just a bunch of, what do you do? We know it's not, because we went through a security check in Billy. We were just happening to go into government building. We know it's not, we know it's not. The reason why I was mostly concerned was because the person who bought it to me, he had so many inconsistencies. Yeah, so that guy there, that's the guy that sold this box to the guy for 2.7 million. And he has got kind of a sketchy history with cards and stuff like that. He's been involved in some fake scams before but also some legit deals. So it's kind of, there was already a massive red flag based on where the box was coming from but again, it was authenticated. That's the crazy thing is like, this company whose only job is to authenticate this crap said it was real and it's not. It's insane, let's keep going. You're from BBC? Yeah, I'm the owner. You're the owner of BBC and you authenticated this. Yes, me and Michael are gonna go over when it came to my office that day, what I looked for. And then we're gonna speak back and forth about why we like the seals. If it's good, it's worth a lot more than the 3.5 thousand. In this case, we think that. Oh my, it'll be real. Back in March of this year, this case came into my office. They asked for my opinion, the outside of this case had been tampered with, played with, reproduced in any way. You can see in this piece of seal that was put on there by wizards at the coast, that this tape is aged onto this case. This label too, the same embedded lines of the cardboard from age are in that late. There's no evidence of tampering. One edge would look different anyway. I did my diligence just like I do for a sports case. Oh yeah. All right, I like where that's going though. Starting early. I mean, come on guys, I ain't gonna be sober with it. So I wanna address the elephant in the room. So Michael Brown brought up, even if it's real, like if there wasn't fake stuff here, 3 million for Pokemon cards is stupid. So let me tell you, 3 million for Pokemon cards for people like you, me, everyone watching is a stupid amount of money. And even as mega collectors, it's hard for us to imagine a world in where we would ever be willing to spend 3 million dollars on a single hobby in a single transaction. Like maybe over the lifetime, like if we're rich, maybe over the lifetime of video games, we spend 3 million dollars on video game crap in our lives if we're rich. But like to imagine spending 3 million dollars on a single purchase just sounds absolutely insane. But that's what you say when you're not rich. When you are rich and you're making 100 million dollars on boxing fights and X amount of millions of dollars on your podcasts and sponsorships and all this stuff, 3 million dollars is still a lot of money, 3.5 million to be exact. It's still a lot of money, not insignificant, but also to someone like Logan Paul, it's, you know, that's like two weeks in a January on YouTube for him. He makes a lot of money. So we look at this as, this is insane. He looks at it as, well, you know, I'm a collector, I'm a hobbyist, he's a true hobbyist of Pokemon cards and you know, it's almost like an investment because if you do hit and you do end up getting those first edition Charizard's or the sealed authenticated fully real boxes and you're not gonna open them, like that's like legitimately worth a lot of money. And the pricing on that's never really going to lower much because over time, these original Wizards of the Coast versions of Pokemon cards, they're not gonna be more of them being made. There's gonna be less and less and less. So their value really isn't going to go anywhere. So the idea is obviously if you spent 3.5 million and got these boxes is that it's an investment where these boxes, each of them would be worth a lot of money on their own. And if he ever did get into financial struggle in the future, he could sell each box and obviously get a decent chunk of money on every sale. Now again, it's hard for us to look at this as this is a smart move. It seems idiotic. I'm also not stupidly rich. And I gotta say, if I was stupidly rich and could easily afford 3.5 million dollars or something without me even blinking and I'm in this video game hobby and I get an opportunity to buy say, I don't know, one of the very first original test models of the Famicon out of Japan that was in Nintendo's headquarters when they were first coming up with the idea for the Nintendo Entertainment System and the Famicon and I could get it for 3.5 million and I'm stupid rich, I would spend 3.5 million. Like it's, again, a transaction that is hard to imagine but also it's hard for me to imagine being so rich that 3.5 million dollars is something I'm willing to spend and Logan Paul is. So whenever we say it's stupid to spend that amount of money you're not stupidly rich. And if you were, would it feel that stupid to you? If you were that rich? It's hard for any of us to speak on that because none of us are in that position. It would be interesting to speak to like Elon Musk or somebody else, some other rich people out there and be like, hey, like, did this seem stupid to you or what stupid things have you spent money on that ended up not turning out, you know? So, oh my God. So Michael Ross said, is stupid spending 3.5 million on Pokemon cards, period, the end. Stupid to you, man, stupid to you. Do you know what Pokemon cards are going for? Go ahead and look up what like first edition Chars are going for, man, insane. I'm just saying, when you're stupidly rich you spend money on stupidly rich things. Oh my God, oh my God. Maybe you went by Pokemon cards, maybe you wasted on cards that are worth next to nothing and break down over time. What? You know? Why are they so puppy rich? Why are they so puppy rich? See how they're shaped all, they don't look great. They don't look great. They don't look right? Yeah, and here's where they notice. Here, I don't know how well you guys can hear it but here's where they notice that these boxes have been tampered with. So these are like the original boxes but they've clearly been tampered with. The seal has been broken and that's never a good sign. That's usually sign numeral big red flag that somebody tampered with these boxes. So they got excited when they originally saw the Bible. Oh yeah, they actually are Pokemon cards in there but then, oh shit, somebody tampered with the boxes. See they're comparing and they're seeing there might be some coloration differences here. Anyways, cause that's a real, cause that one's their sample box. That's a legitimate verified 100% real first edition box. So they have that to compare and you can see, oh maybe there's some slight differences but you know, let's find out. Let's go further, let's dig deeper. Let's actually open these bad boys. Yeah, and so see now it started bending and they don't bend like that. They are packed and they're so tight. I don't know if you guys have ever held one of these Pokemon boxes before. I haven't held the first edition one since I was a kid but I've held like the newer ones and they're packed so tight they don't bend like that when you lift it up. So like that's a bad sign. And you can tell by holding it that it feels lighter and something feels off. Like Logan, Logan, you see Logan's reaction he already, he just knows that that doesn't feel right. This is not a good sign. Yeah, you gotta open one, right? You gotta know. Like it didn't feel right, you gotta open one. And the big reveal. So all of them look the same and there it is. Those are not Pokemon cards. G.I. Joe, G.I. Joe cards. Which aren't worth like hardly anything. Then they go to open another one. I believe in it, it's also G.I. Joe and it's clearly that they're just all G.I. Joe. And this is the authenticator and he's like, I can't believe this happened. I personally authenticated this. Holy shit. Like the authenticators got full. This tape on top is just embedded into the cardboard. I mean, I am curious like, the tape is embedded in the cardboard is it like a weathering technique? There must be some sort of weathering technique you can use on that tape to make it look like it's old. I mean, it definitely was a professional job to fake that box, the actual shipping box. It was good. G.I. Joe, that's the worst part. 3.5 million on G.I. Joe card. Now, as you saw earlier in the video, the guy's gonna refund him anyways. He said he would refund him if they were fakes. He's gonna get his money back anyways. But the guy who spent 2.7 million is not. He doesn't have to get his money back because he's the one who got scammed. He's the one who got scammed at 2.7 million. He got scammed, Logan got scammed and rebuying it, but the guy already said he'd refund him. I'm picturing my Charizard in my head like something real, something worth a lot of money that is real. So one thing I will say about spending a lot of money on this kind of crap, and that's what all we need to watch there. Does that have the right thing up here? I think it's just showing the wrong text. So one thing I will say about spending this kind of money is people are spending more money than this on NFTs. Like the NFC business is like somewhere around 40 billion, but there's only 360,000 people actually investing in them, which means they're spending stupid amounts of money on NFTs. So spending this kind of money on something real, something tangible, something you can hold, something you can look at, something that's, you know, it's a real thing. If computers and the internet go offline, like this thing still exists, it's still real. You know, it's rough, but again, no reason to really feel bad for Logan Paul. He gets all his money back and it was always a risky purchase anyways. Anytime he spent $3.5 million on Pokemon cards, you know there's gonna be a risk involved. So the thing is, it's become very easy to fake this stuff just in general. It's become very easy to fake card packs. Like they've been, I mean, this person could have went even further. The person who faked that box could have went even further. You can save, you can open up legitimate Pokemon card packs, save those packs, repack those card packs, reseal them, depending if you opened them in a very specific way, you can reseal those packs and then put real Pokemon cards in there. And they might even be first edition ones. But they'll be tampered with ones that won't have any of the rare cards. All the rare cards worth any money will be pulled out and it'll just be a bunch of common. Like there are, like that's how deep the scams can go. This scam didn't go that deep, it just threw GI Joe ones in the boxes, they could have went deeper than that. But man, the scams are just insane. They're everywhere too, man. Like even if you order, what was that? I think Camelot331, he was gonna give away a PlayStation 5 like last month and he ordered one from like Walmart or something and when it arrived, someone sent him an empty box. Meaning somebody either at Walmart or shipping or somewhere along the line took the PlayStation 5 and gave him an empty box. Like in Walmart said we can't do anything with it, you gotta talk to the US Postal Service and the US Postal Service is like nanana, you gotta talk to them. So now there's a roundabout thing that he's basically out the money and out the system. Scams are just everywhere guys. And this is the thing that scares me with NFTs is like NFTs are even easier to scam. Like it was just, I just happened too where a famous voice actor in video games, Troy Baker was supporting this voice NFT and like he got a bunch of backlash for supporting it and being part of it. And then like literally today, which was like the very next day after he said he was supporting it, they got busted for stealing somebody else's voice work and selling it as an NFT. They got busted for stealing the very next day and they openly admitted that they did it. Like that's the thing. It's so easy to scam people, so easy to steal with NFTs and this is happening with real products too. You order a PlayStation 5 and you can't really be sure that even from a legit retailer like Amazon or Walmart you can't be sure that you're actually going to get your PlayStation 5 until it's in your hands. It's insane, the scams out there and just everything that, man, I just, I wish that people would just stop being assholes to each other because that's why this happens, right? People are assholes to each other. That's just, ah, that sucks. I wanna read some of you guys' reaction in the chat. Obviously I know what that Michael guy thinks, oh ridiculous amount of money, but still what about the scam aspect of all this? You know, what's up Layton, Drexler, how's it going, man? Playboy wanted to, I guess you can argue why for that very reason, spending that much on something that could fool authenticators is stupid. Well, so in this case, this exact case of Pokemon cards and this authentication company has been authenticating products for over 30 years and they've never had this happen, ever. They've never once in the history of their company in 30 years messed up in authentication and fell for a scam. It's never happened in 30 years of that company running. They've never messed up like this. And because of this mess up, the company will no longer be authenticating, I think Pokemon, and I think they're through Yu-Gi-Oh cards in as well. They will not be authenticating those specific cards for the time being until they can review their process and basically figure out how the fuck did we get scammed? Like how did the, our full proof, 30 year long authentication process fail? And until we can figure out how it did and how we can prevent it from failing in the future, you know, they're not gonna be willing to authenticate those products at this time. So that's the thing. This wasn't like this company has a history of, oh man, we get fooled all the time. It's never happened. So yeah, it's definitely a, you kind of feel for the authentication company here too because forget the amount of money that the individuals are willing to spend on this stuff. Like the authentication company is the reason the stuff ended up being worth money anyway. And like that really dings their reputation when it's like you messed up that bad. I'm that big of a purchase. Oh boy. Yikes, you know? I swear when COVID started, all the A-holes came out to play. It's not, I mean, the A-holes have always been there. Like I've been on the internet for God's since 1997, 1998, 1996, somewhere in there when I first started playing Age of Empires online, like Unreal Tournament. Yeah, the A-holes have always been there. It's just with people staying home, the A-holes that weren't really online much that much are now online too. So you had the A-holes that were already there and the A-holes that weren't really online carrying all that much and now have more free time to now they're online, so now just more A-holes. You can argue there's also a lot more nicer people as well and I'm sure there are, you know, I think the nice people massively outweigh the A-holes but the things the A-holes do, typically have a bigger impact than the things the nice people do, unfortunately. You know, like we have a bunch of nice people, you know, in our chat and our comments on our channel that say a lot of nice things about my stuff and how much they really enjoy my content and then, you know, you have that crowd that, you know, maybe it's a minority but you know, the damage, the psychological damage that minority can do is much greater than the, you know, positive energy that the positives can do and it's not, you guys, it's just human nature. It's easier for us to see the smaller crowd that's negative versus the bigger crowd that's positive. As an example, you know, people call me a clickbaiter and people call me fake news, call me all this shit and it's a very small amount of people that actually say it. I mean, I think in the last year it's probably been less than like 40 people who have like legitimately commented on Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, et cetera, and said these things and yet I can remember each and every single one of them versus the 4.1 million people who watched my videos last year. Like think about how few people it is compared to the number of people just watched my videos. But why? Why do you remember that now? That's just kind of how it works. Assholes unfortunately get to take advantage of the fact that human nature is to notice the negative more than the positive. I bet any amount of money it was the shipping service that sold the PlayStation 5. Could be. That's the thing. It's hard to know where along the chain that it got stolen. It's one of those situations for Camelot that it sucks, but you know, what are you gonna do? Like scams are just rampant right now and I don't think they're gonna stop. I think it's gonna get worse. At the end, Logan only made money because he got a refund and the video probably got a lot of views. How many views did the video get? It got what, 3 million views? 3.1 million views right now? I mean, he probably made some good money on the video. I don't know. I have YouTube premiums. I don't see ads on YouTube right now. So I'm not sure if ads are running on it because he does have the official G.I. Joe's song in there and that G.I. Joe's song and I'll find out I'm not, you know, actually I don't think I got to the point where we're just playing. I think I paused it before then. The video ends by playing the official G.I. Joe like cartoon music and like that's copyright. So I don't know. He could have, the video could have been demonetized. I have no idea, but he makes a stupid amount of money. So it doesn't really matter. But yeah, it's, it just sucks, you know? It's like anything. Like if I go and I buy something, like a bunch of games for Switch, the deal sounds too good to be true and then I get scammed. I mean, that's going to make for a good video. The people want to know, like how did that happen? How did you get scammed? You know, how hilarious is your reaction to it? What did you actually get instead, et cetera? People like watching that stuff because it's a curiosity peaker. So, council are really easy to take out of the box. They should be wrapped. Yeah, like PlayStation five isn't even like there's no shrink wrap or anything. It's literally like you just can like slit it and it just take it out. PlayStation five's packaging is just not great. If I'm honest, I don't know if that makes it more susceptible to stealing, but it's just not great packaging. G.I. Joe Cartoon has 24 seven streams that hold episodes. Nice, man. I wish 3.1 million views on this video. We all get 3.1 million. I doubt it. This stream won't even give views from Logan Paul fans. Like you can say Logan Paul's in the thumbnail and in the title. Yeah, but I doubt even his fan base will be, we'll be checking this out. They already know all the deals and all the stories because they follow the man that told the story. Let's see here. So the other thing we were talking about is Legends Arceus. I guess I can bring up some, that new Legends Arceus video. Or do you guys want to go to a Q and A first and then do the Legends Arceus stuff later? Because we don't have to do the Legends Arceus stuff right away. You guys let me know. Do you want me to get to the Legends Arceus stuff now or take some questions now? It's totally up to you. And of course me showing this Legends Arceus stuff is going to get my, is going to guarantee that I can't get ad revenue on this video, on this live stream. Those who don't know the Pokemon Company, not Nintendo, the Pokemon Company, they will not shut my video down but they will claim all the revenue. All the ad revenue that it is. They don't touch Super Chats. They don't touch that kind of stuff. But yeah, any ad revenue, it's going to go to them. But I knew that ahead of time. So I accept the consequences to talk about the topics I want to talk about. We can do Legends Arceus first. Let's do it. Let's do it. All right. I'm going to just wait for it to switch over here so I can tell that we have the right thing loaded up. We do. All right. So let's just play this and just talk it. Welcome, viewers. Thanks for joining us today. So the general gist here Pokemon Legends Arceus is, a lot of people think Pokemon Legends Arceus looks ugly. Today, we wanted to give you something that you could say is because art direction, some you could just say because there's a lot better looking games on Switch. I even noted on Twitter that Herbie Kirby looks better, right? Why does it have a copyrighted music? Might as well, right? Yeah, screw it. You know what? For any $5 super chat and up, you guys can request me to listen to any song you want on stream. I don't care. I don't care what it is. It could be Nintendo. It could be not Nintendo. I really don't care. We'll play whatever the hell you guys want, all right? I'm literally not going to worry about it because we're already going to get copyrighted. So let them, let them fight over the copyrights. Let them block my stream. It's whatever. They don't block it for the streams over anyway. So we can enjoy it while we're here. Yeah, Legends Arceus is a very interesting thing. I think people view it as ugly as I'm watching here because, yeah, a lot of games on Switch look better than this. A lot of games, open world games on Switch look better than Dragon Quest XI. Right, Breath of the Wild. You can argue even the Witcher 3. A lot of games look better than this. And it feels like Game Freak can't catch a break because until Switch, Game Freak was just making games on DS, 3DS, etc. They didn't have Town as well on multiple platforms, but they don't have experience making open world games. So Game Freak is one. Never made an open world game. Two, never in a fully 3D environment. And three, never on this scale. And they had to pull this off in roughly two to three years. And honestly, for a first time attempt at something like this by a studio that's not known to go this length to make this kind of game, when I consider the entire background there, I go, you know, for a first attempt by Game Freak, this isn't that bad. I don't think this looks terrible. In order to catch a Pokemon in this state, it definitely isn't like going to impress you. But when has Pokemon had impressive visuals? And someone in the chat's gonna tell me, Nate, Pokemon has had beautiful visuals. I think you might be confusing art style for the visuals. There's been blurry textures like all over Sword and Shield. There's a bunch of blurry textures and things that just don't look right and look a little jank. And you might not care because you really love the art direction. Same thing for prior Pokemon games, maybe not towards the blurry aspect. Well, sort of, because I guess they're like a 240p, but that's the whole game. They can't help the screens aren't higher resolution. I think that there's just a lot to consider about this that makes me go, you know what? I'm kind of cool with it. Like, yeah, that water, that water that's clearly just lined against the shore and not very natural looking as it hits the shoreline there. Yeah, okay. Yeah, games on Switch, do it better. You have to be careful. And? And what? And they're not seen twice about attacking you. And what? So my personal opinion is, I don't actually think it looks that bad. And some of the items you were carrying and you think- Yeah, it can look better. Yeah, you can argue it's the most expensive, largest IP in the world and should have all the money in the world to do better and I hear you. But considering that Game Freak isn't given that budget, considering that they're not allotted that by the Pokemon company, considering what they have to work with and that they even got to make this game, I think it was fine. And I obviously think any future attempt at this is gonna look better and better and better every time. But for a first time attempt at an open world game, I think it was right. It's passable. And obviously on the smaller screen, you know, on the smaller screen, here on Switch OLED, it's gonna look a little bit better too because things always look better on the smaller screen. So, yeah, I don't know. I think it looks fine. What do you guys think? You guys are sitting here watching it. So, Nintendo talks as Pokemon Snap has raised the bar for visuals for Pokemon Game. So, and I think that is maybe what upsets some people because, oh my gosh, just spin-off Pokemon Game. Like, look at how amazing these visuals are. Legends are, it looks like dog shit in comparison. Sure. And that game was made by Bandai Namco who's got a lot of experience making HD high-fidelity visuals. Bandai Namco has made some extremely visually pleasing games. Pokemon Company and Game Freak never have. Their experience level trumps Pokemon Company and Game Freak's experience level at creating those visuals. So, you could say, well, then screw it. They should have brought Bandai Namco. They could have. But Bandai Namco doesn't work for the Pokemon Company. Game Freak does. This is Game Freak's game. So, yeah. Like, obviously, new Pokemon Snap is the best-looking Pokemon game of all time, but it's also not made by Game Freak. It's made by a company that is known for really good business. Get yourself an M-classic and you will not regret paying a premium price for a great gaming experience across with these Xbox One. It even helps a bit with PlayStation 5 and series as well. The M-classics fit just a good little accessory. It takes any sort of rough edges that might happen from dynamic resolutions or obscenes, which in this case, just low resolution in general, and really gets rid of a lot of the jaggies and makes things look a little bit crisper. The M-classics fit, I think, are worth all this. Hey, did we have a $10 Super Chat? I think I missed it. Hold up. Oh, just came in. Just came in. Shut down, says G.I. Rocky. All right, let me pause this. People probably want me to talk more about what's going on. I'm just gonna leave it for when I play. Obviously, I've looked at all the stuff. I know you can mark the map. I know how the game works. I think we know enough now, but, hey! Thank you, G.I. Rocky, for the 999. All right, that is gotta get the funk. Oh. So is that what the chat is? It's just it is UV blue. Where did I do it with my shot glass? Saturdays, Nacho Daddy. Thank you so much, G.I. Rocky. So we'll go back to it here and continue watching. Miles, where are you? There you are. The Arc Phone is a mysterious device that allows Yeah, so what do you guys think about it? Like, I already know what I think, so I want to know what you guys think about how Pokemon Legends Arceus looks visually. Do you think it's ugly? Very in their objectives. Do you think it deserves the criticism it gets? Do you think it's unfair? You know, what are your guys' thoughts on this? Gameplay is story-grader in graphics. Yeah. Or catching a number of one specific Pokemon for research. Please enjoy this clip of a trainer completing a request. Dude, swallowing a shot of mouthwash would be harder than just swallowing a shot of UV blue. Um, I think it looks fine. Graphic winers are the absolute worst. Hear ya on that. I'd say it's a six out of 10 for a first attempt in less than four years. It's probably an eight. Yeah, like, that's the thing. Like, if we compare this to Zelda, compare this to, you know, Dragon Quest XI. Like, those franchises have dabbled in more fluid open world-like games than Pokemon ever has. And have a long-running, you know, 3D, HD experience level to draw on. Like, even Zelda, you'd be like, no, Zelda really doesn't. Yeah, but they, the Wind Waker and Father Princess, you know, help give experience for this. And obviously they've been making games on home consoles for a lot longer. Like, if you think about the power leap, like, game frequent for making Pokemon games on 3DS to the freaking Switch. The 3DS to the Switch isn't like a one-generation leap. 3DS power compared to Switch is like jumping 40 years into the future. It's insane. Like, God, what was it? Someone did the math on it once that like a 3DS, like a Nintendo Switch would be like duct taping like 125 3DSs together or something like that. Like, it is insane the power leap they went with. And so like, people who got these expectations, that's why they were so upset with Sword and Shield's visuals. It's like, people got these expectations on them and it's like, guys, they've never had this kind of power before. They're not gonna know what to do with it right now. Like, it's going to take a while for Game Freak to learn how to make HD video games and make, like, they're going through what a lot of these companies went through during the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 era where they're learning how to make HD games. Like, they're still in that very beginning stages as a company, whereas everyone else, Nintendo included, since Wii U, has been making HD video games. So, they have a lot more experience. See, the Pokemon Company is still in this, or I should say Game Freak, is still in this sort of figuring it out stage. Like, we're just figuring it out and things will get better, like 10 years from now, I expect Pokemon games to look significantly better than this. But that's in 10 years, right? Like, they will have had a lot more time to perfect and get better at this time. So, what is it? Oh, I wanna make sure. Playboy182 says, then maybe Game Freak should let someone who has experience with open world games make an open world game. That is a thought. Also, you can never get better at something if you don't do it. So, let me put it this way. Most of the Zelda team had no experience making an open world game, should they not have made Breath of the Wild? Meaning, that's not the case. I mean, they had to bring in people who obviously did and monoliths off to help them. But most of the Zelda team had no experience with that. Like, you don't get the experience by not doing it. We have to remember, Legends Arceus is a mainline Pokemon game. One company makes mainline Pokemon games, Game Freak. Now, can they outsource? Should they, you know, yes, they can and maybe they should. But also, they don't. Because they're the company that makes them. Legends Arceus, I want to make this very clear. Based on the interviews we have seen so far, Legends Arceus doesn't exist because the Pokemon company wanted it to. This was not the Pokemon company going to Game Freak and going, hey, why don't you try that making this open world Pokemon? It's because Game Freak went to the Pokemon company that they wanted to do it. But they said, we won't be able to do a remake or whatever of Gen 4. You know, we'll have to consider hiring somebody else. And they did hire somebody else to do that. So Game Freak's the one that wanted to make this game. You're not going to get better by avoiding it. That's like the key thing. Game Freak wants to make games like this. And they can't make games like this by avoiding making them. That's a little bit disingenuous to say, just outsource it. Just, oh, not, companies have pride. They don't always want to outsource shit. They want to be able to grow and learn to, you know, adapt and develop. They don't want to be stuck doing the same thing all the time. This is Game Freak getting a chance to make Pokemon the way they want to make it. Not the way that it's been made for 30 years or 25 years or whatever. They want to make it the way that they envision Pokemon today. And yeah, it's not going to be perfect. You know? Pokemon is a challenge, but if not, they will be a very powerful ally of your adventure. It's a tough hole Nintendo has put themselves in because everything will be compared to Breath of Wild. Nintendo, by the way, didn't put themselves in a hole. Nintendo's games compare fine. Pokemon Company trying to go shot for shot with Breath of the Wild's trailer with the reveal of Legends was probably a mistake. Pokemon Company should have never been trying to be like, this reveal is going to be shot for shot, similar to Breath of the Wild's reveal trailer. And it's like, mm, mm, no. No, don't do that, please. Thank you. But I'm still excited for this game. Like my excitement level hasn't gone anywhere. This entire little preview thing they released has only made me more excited because now we understand some of the fundamental differences between this game and other Pokemon games. The only other game you like to see in Chronicles X? Yeah, their reveal trailer was very much a, oh yeah, we were Breath of the Wild in Pokemon now, guys. Like, now. Maybe you shouldn't have maybe did that because that maybe puts an unreal X. But I mean, I'm sure they were inspired by Breath of the Wild. A strange phenomenon is causing the nobles to become frenzied, making them rampage. Is that Treeback? Oh, is this it? Hold on. In a different shot, is that Treeback up? And don't worry, guys, when I play the game, I'll be critical like I was a horizon when you clip through foilage. I'm pretty sure they clip through foilage in this game too. I mean, it definitely looks like you're clipping through foilage there. Oh yeah. Oh yeah, that's some grass clipage there. That is some grass clipage. But maybe I expect less of Pokemon than I do something like Horizon. I don't know. Because Horizon pouts itself as a visual tree. Pokemon has never done that. Well, I shouldn't say that. I guess Pokemon snapped. The game's built around taking pictures. They want to do something different, but hate that people shit on it because it looks bad. Oh yeah, they just think about music too. Dude, down to like the piano. Did you hear like? Down to the literal piano undertones while you're running around. I'm like, oh my God. They're literally like, you could tell the developers of Game Freak. In 2017, played Breath of the Wild and they went, holy shit, we want to make a Pokemon game like this. And they just, they did the best they could. You know, it's like, oh, we got it. Okay, well, we did our best, you know? For now. Next attempt's going to be even better. We just have to hope that this attempt does well enough obviously to justify the Pokemon company saying, all right, let's do this again. Let's go back to this again. We cannot wait for you to get your hands on the game after it releases. Let's see here. Although they want to do something different but hate that people shit on it. To be fair about them, copying the reveal trailer as of late, a lot of people have been doing that. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. Well, that's because Zelda, Breath of the Wild's original reveal trailers were like epic, like pretty much perfect. I have very little complaints about those reveal trailers. All right, so that does it for that. Like legitimately was as perfect as I think it can get. So, you know, that's just something that kind of keep in the back of our minds as well on with Zelda. And obviously I think the second trailer, especially for Breath of the Wild 2, had that little dark ominous beginning but then Link falling from the sky. Like, okay, the next game that has characters that you can be in the sky will copy that shot for shot falling from the sky scene in the reveal trailer. It's just gonna happen. I already know it. Why? This is the way the industry works. They copy good ideas. They copy good ideas. Nothing wrong with copying good ideas, by the way. It's just, when you're copying the idea on a platform that has that game, it's kind of like a, so you sort of tricked people a little bit but did they really, because the game still didn't look like Breath of the Wild and it's Pokemon. And Pokemon's completely different than Zelda. There's not some crazy physics engine here or rag doll physics. You know, when the Pokemon attack you in the overworld, you're not flying off with your body flailing all over the place, right? Like, that's not how this game works. The models and anime show what everyone complained about when for the show game. There was more complaints than just models and animation but that was one of them. So, are you putting up a new poll here? I'm gonna ask you guys, hey, are you picking up Pokemon Legends Arceus? Yes or no? Let me know. Let me know. Yeah, Nintendo doesn't own ideas. No, they don't. Kirby looks good though. May actually pick it up. I mean, I'm picking up Kirby in the Forgotten Land. I'm getting day one. Like, that's a given. That's a given. It's day one for me. By the way, we have entered Q and A territory now so if you guys have any questions, anything you wanna ask about the channel, about me, about society, if I'm willing to answer it, about video games, about anything. The floor is yours. You just gotta ping at Nintendo Prime in the chat. Obviously, any super chats and all that pumps your question to the top, not required. I try to get to all the questions. Can't guarantee I get to every single one. At least the ones I'm pinged that say at Nintendo Prime. Day one. Look at that. Like, most people here, you know, 70 plus. A lot of people are planning to get it. We're at 30 votes, 32, 78, you know? Seems to be a pretty healthy split that a lot of you guys here are gonna get this game. And I'm not really surprised. I wouldn't say that I have fostered like a really big Pokemon community on my channel. I really haven't. But I think Legends Arceus appeals to people like me and people like me, I think are the ones that watch my channel. Because, you know, I'm not like a pro gamer. I'm like, you know, super expert at certain things. But there's a lot of people that like me that exist out there, you know? Mid-30s grew up, you know, have kids now or have other things going on in their lives. And, you know, don't really play Pokemon, but Legends Arceus is like that game we've been dreaming of since we were kids. Yes, when you win a copy. I'm new here. So what's your first video game? What's up, T.E.S. Nintendo Gamer? Welcome to be a new. I hope you decide to subscribe. I do have the chat open to the public right now. If you're not subscribed, I hope you do subscribe. We are giving away, we have some giveaways going on. People in the chat can let you know what they are. I don't wanna keep repeating myself over and over. So people wanna let them know what new subscribers can potentially win this month, that'd be great. So what's my first video game? First video game I remember playing was Mike Tyson's Punch Out on the NES. And that story, I've told it a billion times. It's basically my dad was playing it, got to Mike Tyson, went to the bathroom, I walked over to the controller and I said I could beat Mike Tyson and then I got destroyed and my dad lost his stuff and, well, needless to say, my dad wasn't very happy because it was the first time he ever got to Mike Tyson and he didn't even get to fight him. So, and back then it wasn't like you could just continue and fight him again, you had to start all over from the very beginning. And that was the first of our video game I played was ruining my dad's several hour battle to get to Mike Tyson. No, it's not an eShop gift card for new subscribers, Tony. That is not what the giveaway is. You've been subscribed nice. I'm undecided. I have mixed feelings about this game as it's open world. 83 with paid review. Sweet Life of Dio Brando, are you suggesting that Nintendo and Game Freak are paying for good review scores? Is that an accusation you're putting out there? Okay, if you are, I think you're wrong, but it's not like it's something I can definitively prove. But I don't know if that's the accusation you're making either, right? Pre-order day one, nice. Do you think you can see Pokemon Day or Pokemon Direct somewhere in mid-February? They'll be Pokemon Day and there'll be some Pokemon announcements. I don't know if they'll do a Pokemon Direct but there will be announcements. There's announcements almost every year around Pokemon Day so there'll definitely be some announcements. Pokemon Company with sponsor pay for reviews that increase budget for their game in your opinion. I mean, it's your opinion. I don't think the Pokemon Company would be willing to even pay for review because the people who buy Pokemon don't look at it. Pokemon's target audience are children and children aren't reading them. So it's like one of those things where the very audience are targeting the reviews are irrelevant for. Like Pokemon games don't always review well and yet they always sell well. So it's like, I don't know that they really care about the review scores, to be honest. Let alone pay actual money for better reviews that won't really impact the sales. Pokemon's gonna sell 10 million plus every time that's just the way it is. They don't need to pay for reviews to get their sales. That's my opinion, of course. You have yours. 70%, so you have about a 71, 29 split. What in the poll there? That's over two thirds of the audience voted so. I'm just, Logan LaBona says, do you think it's ridiculous PlayStation fans are still mad Starfield and Elder Scrolls 6 are Xbox exclusive? Glad the Xbox is finally stepping up. Do I think it's ridiculous? I think the way to put it is I think being super upset over anything video game related for extended periods of time is just unhealthy. I'm a very passionate video game person. I eat video games, talk about video games. I'm very passionate. I wouldn't be able to do this if I wasn't. And there are certain things that bother me with Nintendo, right? Nintendo Switch Online bothers the shit out of me. Well, like I don't sit there and dwell on it. I don't sit there and bitch about it every day. Yeah, it bothers me. I've said my criticisms and then I kind of move on. It's not that it stops bothering me and that I'm suddenly okay with it. It's that, what's the point of continuing the anger? It doesn't change anything. And that's the thing here. Okay, you're upset that you're not getting Bethesda games anymore and all this. And so thus you're not getting Elder Scrolls 6 and you're gonna keep stopping and pouting and whining and bitching. And do you think Microsoft cares that you're doing that? That Bethesda cares? They got seven bill, baby. They ain't worried about that kind of shit. Because they're also on the flip side gonna make a bunch of people happy. So there is a lot to really consider there. But I think staying consistently angry about something and then bitching about it all the time is unhealthy. Again, not unhealthy to get upset, not unhealthy to voice the reasons you're upset and not unhealthy to keep that in the back of your mind that yeah, that kind of bothers me. It bothers me. Replacation fans, it's gonna bother them that they don't get Bethesda games anymore. But also, you can't do anything about it. Your bitching isn't going to change Microsoft's mind. They didn't spend $7 billion to appease people who don't play on their stuff. They did not spend that money for them. They spent their money for their fan base and growing their Game Pass user base and their xCloud user base. They didn't spend that money to appease PlayStation fans. They ain't even thinking about PlayStation fans when they make that acquisition. So, yes, it can always bother you but to keep bitching every day about it. To me, that's the unhealthy part. Staying in that zone where you're always upside over this one thing and it's video game related, I personally think that's an unhealthy way to live. I think it's unhealthy to just be angry all the time anyways. Let alone over an entertainment medium and staying angry. There's people that legitimately hate the CW, DC Universe shows. They hate Flash and Arrow and Batgirl and Supergirl. They hate all these shows. They think they're stupid, bad writing, bad acting, whatever they wanna say. It's bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad. And there's a bunch of people that like it, of course. Okay, so you think it's bad. You've voiced your opinion. You've stated why. You've maybe even done some videos and gone in depth on it. You have to talk about it every day? Does it make you feel better to bitch about the same shit every day? Like, where is the positive in that? Because it's not gonna change anything. So where's the positive? You know, I was upset when Marvel and Netflix broke off, Disney broke off, and hey, all those Netflix shows ended. I even liked Iron Fist. Like, all those Netflix, you know, universe shows ended, even though it looks like we might possibly get Daredevil back on Disney+. We still, like, all those shows kind of ended. And that pissed me off because I loved those shows. Luke Cage, Jessica Jones. I loved those shows. And because of Disney+, and yada, yada, oh, it's all canceled. And that sucks. And it really upset me. It's still upset me. You can tell. But when's the last time anybody heard me bitch about it? This is the first time I probably brought it up. And years? Like, it can still upset you, but you don't have to constantly keep it at the forefront of your thoughts. Keeping negative thoughts at the forefront of your mind breeds negativity. It's gonna make you look for negative things in other aspects of life. Man, it's really upset me. And this is so dumb. And I look down and I'm like, I'm just fucking fat. Why am I so fat? Why is my face so itchy? God, I didn't shave under here today. Man, I'm on camera right now. This is so depressive. Oh my God, I'm really struggling to get my videos to consistently hit 4,000 plus views. We're dipping back to the days of 2017 when I struggled to get 1,000 views. Oh my God, I need to start freaking out right now. Revenue's dropping, everything's going bad. My kids are arguing and fighting and not getting along and my fiance can't figure out her registration for college and things are just, oh my God! Like, it's a snowball effect to constantly keep those negative thoughts even on video games at the forefront. So don't say what you gotta say and then find a way to move on. There's other things in video games I'm sure they like. And if the only things you were playing on PlayStation were Bethesda games, is it that bad to go get an Xbox? Like, are you so fanboyed on PlayStation when the only things you were playing were Bethesda games? That you can't go get the platform Bethesda games are now on? I don't get it. It's not like Sony's a better company than Microsoft. They're both shady as hell. They both do greedy stupid shit. So does Nintendo. So does every... How do you think these companies got rich in the first place? Like, greed's a big part of it. So I don't really... I think it's just a dumb thing. Dumb thing that exists on the world. Scroll it on down now to get some more questions. Let's go 1621 million for Pokemon Legends Arceus. I'm stoked. Been this in Kirby, quarter one is looking nice and I agree, don't need to hate on things or just let them fester. Yeah, this is the thing. Like, get it out of your system and then find a way to move on to something else. Like, it might say in your opinion changes just because you're not bitching about it every day. And like, maybe you bitch about it every day because you're within a community that fosters that bitchy. Maybe you gotta get out of that community, you know? Go somewhere that's not just bitching about shit all the time. It's tough. Especially like social media because based on who you follow, based on who follows you can lead to this never ending cycle of negativity. And that's why some people think Twitter is a cesspool and it's like, it's only a cesspool if you allow it to be. My Twitter feed is not full of a bunch of negative shit. I mean, hell, I want me to show you? Show you my Twitter feed. It's a nice little Friday here. Let's load up my homepage on Twitter. Close my private messages here. All right, close this as well. Here you go. Let's just take a look at my little Twitter homepage here. See, I got Arlo here. Obviously, you know, there's been a lot of bitching about NFTs lately. Bill Trinan. We retweeted this Leonardo DiCaprio's ex-girlfriend Camilla Monroe details the worst day of my life with the actor. I know my refill is snow-blower-gastic in the morning. We know it's coming because there's a bunch of snow coming. Let me see Japanese Pokemon. Thank you for loving our Batgirl. Look at that, Greg Miller who retweeted that. Seattle skies are making amends for the recent gray. I mean, they're called beautiful, this looks. I mean, you know, there's positivity in my timeline. There's negativity and positivity. I'll tell you guys about Suzuki saying something here. I guess I'll translate that quick. Okay, yeah. That's just talking about supply chains. IGN, The Last Duel, Staggering Trial, which I actually want to see The Last Duel. Nintendo Wire here, sharing this Majora's Mask stuff. It's kind of a hodgepodge, right? I got a bunch of crap on here. You know, got a Vorival on PC coming up here. And you just kind of go on and on and on down the list. You know, there's positive and negative. It's not like super-leaning like all the way, like here's Kedellus, you know? Like it's not super-leaning one way or the other. Like that's just, it's not good to just surround your social media in just one thing or the other. You need to get your mix in, right? You're like, I don't know. Oh yeah, Krista, quit Nintendo by the way. You know, Kit and Krista, we were just showing Kedellus there. Kit and Krista, Krista quit Nintendo. So now we know why Nintendo Minute ended. Nintendo Minute ended because Krista was leaving Nintendo. There we go. Now we know the real reason Nintendo Minute was coming to an end, because Krista was leaving Nintendo. They just weren't ready to announce it. They didn't want to announce both at the same time, basically, so. All right. Troy Baker. Dude, and it really backfired today. I talked to one of the big internet industry. The Troy Baker NFT thing really backfired today because the company he was supporting got busted today stealing other people's voice stuff and selling it as NFTs on their network and they got just destroyed today for doing it because it literally just happened. They sold somebody else's stuff they had no rights to, which just literally verified everyone's backlash against Troy Baker that this is not good and it's too easy to scam people and here the company comes out and openly admits they scammed people and it's like, and this is why people don't want NFTs because they're just so easy to scam people. Like it's just too easy. These are digital, non-tangible things that might be based on tangible things and the actual tangible thing they're based on can get completely fucked over. So like it's just, Troy Baker made a mistake. I'm sure he probably, in the back of his mind after that company got busted today, was like, yeah, maybe I should support it. What are you gonna do? A lot of people are trying to get in on the NFTs trend hoping to cash, let's be honest. Why are all these companies, Sega is now considering it. Ubisoft, EA, Activision I'm sure is considering it somewhere once they get past all their bullshit. Like all these people that are getting into it are getting into it because one, they don't wanna miss the boat and two, they wanna cash out. They wanna make billions. They hear 2.7 million NFTs have sold and they have a value of 40 bill. They want in on that action. No one wants to leave billions of dollars on the table. So they wanna get in on the NFT action while it's hot, strike while the iron is hot and make billions. They're thinking about it as a business decision and they're not thinking about it as what gamers want or what's best for us. They're thinking about it as, how can we make a fuck ton of money really quickly? No, NFTs. That's all these companies are thinking about. So like, when you hear them, oh yeah, it's good for the, no, it's good for you. It's good for them. It's good for them to cash in on this. Not necessarily good for us. The Elemental Hero, The Shadow Link, Dragon Wolf King says, I agree. There's a channel that doesn't like Pokemon Legends. Our reason is, he mentioned it's more hand-holdy, et cetera. I've been debating to unsubscribe to the channel. I always like ask, how does he know it's hand-holdy? We haven't played it yet. We haven't played Legends Arceus yet. How is it hand-holdy? That's what I wanna know. How is it hand-holdy? By the way guys, if you want NFTs to go away, the best way to get NFTs to go away is never buy them. When these companies release these NFT games, just don't buy them. Don't play them, leave them alone. I mean, you can play them. Just don't buy the NFTs. Don't buy NFTs. Likewise, don't sell any. Like if you're playing a free to play game and they give you a digital good that, or you win a digital good that could be resold for money, I understand the temptation to sell it for money. Don't, don't support the system. If you are selling and buying NFTs, you are supporting their existence. If you are playing a game for fun and you happen to get an item that can be resold, keep it to yourself. Just like any other unique item you would usually get in a game. Just keep it to yourself. No need to resell. And again, I can't blame you to do if you need money, but it's also, just know what you're supporting when you do that. You're supporting the NFT economy by doing it. Steam Deck, that seems pretty lit for the price. Oh yeah, dude. Steam Deck looks lit. I don't know that I like, I think the controller design on it just looks really weird. I think it looks, just looks weird. But the Steam Deck itself looks like a pretty cool device. I wouldn't mind having one, especially for the price. I don't think I'll be able to get my hands on one. I mean, you think it's hard to get PlayStation 5s right now, guys, oh my God. Good luck getting a Steam Deck anytime in the next five years. I'm like, you guys think I'm gonna be exaggerating. Good luck. One, Valve really sucks at manufacturing things. Valve sucks at delivering on hardware promises. And yeah, Valve is like way down the totem pole for priority at these chip manufacturers. So yeah, good luck. I realistically would be shocked if you find a single person in real life that has a Steam Deck that didn't already get on the, in on the first wave of pre-orders. I'd be surprised if you even know anybody who's gonna have one. Or if you bought one and you're gonna get one, say you're gonna get yours in March or June or something. When do you think you're gonna see somebody else out in the world with one? Like you can walk out and find people with switches. When do you think you'll actually find people holding the Steam Deck in a while? That's not you. They're gonna be very scarce. Very hard to get. Cause there's just not gonna be very many of them made. At least not for a while. I hope I'm wrong, by the way. I hope that my presumption's wrong, but if the big name companies have been doing this for a long time are struggling, what's Valve who has a really bad history with hardware gonna do? One is NFT non-fungible token. We're not gonna get too much into it. It's like a digital receipt for a good. The good can be real or it could be a digital good. Like if you get, the idea that games are trying to use right now is you, say you're playing a gotcha kind of game that has card packs or whatever that give you skins. And you open a card back and you get an ultra rare skin. Or let's use even a better example. Let's go with like FIFA, right? FIFA has their team mode, their ultimate team or whatever, or is that Madden, I don't know, they both have it in there. Anyways, and you open card packs and let's say you get an ultra rare player, right? You could then turn around and resell that player to other players of that game for real world money. That's the idea, which doesn't sound bad on the surface. But every transaction's going to give the game company a cut. So they want to encourage the transactions to continue to happen. And the percent of every transaction that goes to them, obviously the higher price it goes for, the more money they make. And it just turns into this whole thing where the game just starts to be being about spending real world money on stupid gotcha things. They maybe get rare things to sell for money. It just becomes a money making scheme. For the only people really winning are the game companies because they're double dipping. They're getting money on every time someone resells an item and they're also getting money from you to buy those stupid packs to open in the first place. Nobody really wins. Basically gambling. And you all know the only people that truly winning gambling is the house. By the way, I'm not saying don't enjoy some gambling. I've been to casinos. I've had some fun. I've won. I've also lost way more than I've won. Because in the end, the house always wins. What if the digital games become NFTs? What if digital games become NFTs? You mean the idea to resell a game? Why do we need NFTs to do that? I talked about this before. Someone put out an idea for NFTs. Like, oh man, but it wouldn't be cool if we could resell our games on Steam. Sure, why do we need NFTs to do that? Why can't we just resell our license keys? Why can't we just have the license key and resell it? And then the key upon resale through an official means like the Steam Store or something. You know, that key changes and the old key becomes deactivated. So I won't be able to use the old key anymore, but a new key is generated for that new user off that sale. And now they have access to the game and I no longer do. So I basically sold a used game. Why do we need NFTs for that? Why specifically do we need a non-fungible token to do that? What is the exact benefit? And the benefit of course is, oh, it's on this network, this network that can't be governed. Well, why would I want money transactions happening on ungovernable networks? So because you can't trust the government. Okay, but the value of the money I'm making is based on where I live and my ability to use it, which requires my local society and governmental systems in place to do. Oh, what happens if a bug hits the blockchain? Who's responsible? Nobody? If nobody is responsible, how is it dealt with? How is it fixed? Blockchain technology, by the way, the basis of the technology isn't bad. But for humans, and what are we doing with that technology? Money making schemes, money making schemes. The rich are just getting richer. Like that's what's happening, the rich are getting richer. It's insane. The rich are getting richer. Like pay attention to what's happening with NFTs right now. The common people, like you and me, are not going out and able to buy one digital, say we could afford $150 digital good and suddenly we're getting rich off that one purchase. We bought that one purchase with the spare money we had of real-world money, we bought that NFT and oh my gosh, I'm the host that we could resell it for a million dollars one day. That's not gonna happen. The only people making money on NFTs at any rate that matters are people that are already rich and don't need the money anyways. The rich are just getting richer. Everything about all of this is set up for the rich to get richer and the poor to stay poor. Everybody who's telling you, whenever you see all the touting about how amazing NFTs are, how many of them are struggling? How many of them are the average consumer that's just happy to pay bills and have a little bit of extra money left over in their little shitty studio apartment so they can afford Netflix? How many of them are actually struggling? Oh, but then NFTs aren't for them. Oh, so NFTs are for people who already make money to make more money. Why do I care about supporting the system that makes the rich richer? I already do that enough by just trying to buy entertainment. Like I already buy video games to support multi-billion dollar companies. I already have Netflix towards billion dollar companies. Like I'm already supporting them but at least I get something tangible out of it. Whereas like I buy this digital receipt and I just sit there and hold on to it, hold on to it, hold on to it. It's kind of like stock and hope one day it's worth more. It's just all of it sounds really manipulative. To me anyways, if I'm wrong on all this and NFTs are the future and they end up being a mostly positive thing in the world, cool. I always hope new things coming along end up being positive. I've just, I don't know, I think I've just seen a lot in my 35 years on this planet to make me think everything that's coming along that's supposed to be so great always led to other people getting rich that we already had money. What's up Brian C? How's it going man? NFTs since it centralizes the cut is a bit of up here. That's the way the video game companies are doing it. But yeah, it's, so the best way is when these games come because they will is to just not spend money on them. I'm not saying don't play it again. I'll never tell you not to play a game. Like an NFT game can come out. Maybe the game is legitimately fun to play. Just don't participate in buying and selling NFTs. That's all. I mean, I don't know. That's if you don't support the idea of it. If you end up supporting the idea of it be my guest, have fun. Netflix has gone up in North America. I knew it was gonna, Netflix has consistently gone up for a while. I used to, I remember when it used to be like six bucks and then eight, 99. Then 10, 99. Then if you wanted to stream to like four TVs or whatever then it was like 13, 99, then 15. And now it's what, 20 if you want 4K, right? So now it's like 15 for normal HD, 20 if you want the 4K. But like Netflix has always gone up in price. And the only thing I can say about that is at least Netflix provides you some value. You guys, I don't know how much you guys care but Netflix originally was just a gathering of other people's content, right? Other people's movies, other people's shows and they still do that. But more and more Netflix's focus is on original content. So like, while they get like Journey 2 is on there that's obviously not original content. That's them getting the license for that for a little while. They also have their own original content that never leaves the platform. It's always there. Then the content that doesn't leave is now the real value for Netflix. It's like there's a new Netflix animated film and River Dance, the animated adventure. I bet you that's performing very well on Netflix. Some of my favorite things I'm watching on Netflix are exclusive to Netflix. Am I on my account? That's my kids account. Let me go to buy them. So like my account right now I'm watching, what is it? Like cheer right now is the number one thing that I've been watching in the United States. Netflix only show original content. True story. So I've been watching the true story, Kevin Hart, I'm on chapter three of true story, Kevin Hart thing. And it's so far it's really fucking good. Like, and I'm just looking at like all my continue watchings or rewatch. That's the Netflix original. That's the Netflix original. Netflix original, Netflix original, Netflix original. I don't know a hundred of us too. That's not, but then Netflix original, original. Not original, original, original. So like a vast majority of what I'm watching on Netflix is their original content. So the price is increasing, but also I as a consumer can see some of the value because their original content is really fucking good. Now I'm like going to HBO Max and other places a lot more to see the other stuff. So like, yeah, it's getting pricey. My question is, I knew Netflix would hit 20 bucks one day. It's now where does it go from there? Cause I think Netflix becomes a harder sell if it ever attempts to go to 30. If Netflix tries to go to that $30 sweet spot, I'm not so sure that that's gonna fly. I think that I think 20 was probably the max Netflix could go at least right now. Maybe, you know, in 100 years when 20 bucks maybe only buys you a candy bar and that money's worth like pesos or something. But yeah, I don't, I don't, we'll see. I'm not, obviously any price hike is stupid and upsetting, but also at least I can see some value. Like if Nintendo jacked the base price of Nintendo Switch Online, but in doing so along the way they've been proving and increasing the volume of their offerings to a level that definitely felt like, you know was worth way more money, then I'm not really gonna be upset when they decide, okay, it's time to charge more. Now it does make me expect more. Like, oh, we should get even more. And hopefully we do. And Netflix has consistently, every time they've risen the price also consistently began delivering more and more and more content. So I could see the value. It's just, you know, I don't know. I literally basically only use Netflix for their exclusive stuff now. They make good content most of the time. Yeah, like Netflix has become one of the best content makers out there. It's insane. They're movies and they're shows. Netflix is really, like I used to say, you know the best TV shows that you could ever find were on HBO. HBO still has some good shows to be clear not at the volume of Netflix. Holy shit. I mean, and it even goes into foreign stuff. You know, like obviously we had Squid Game and Money Heist. Amazing worldwide phenomenons, right? And Ozark. I'm not even looking at Netflix though. This is just off the top of my head the shows that I watch on there. True Story, obviously right now with Kevin Hartlidge. By the way, like you might think True Story is like a documentary. It's not. Kevin Hart's a comedian in there but he's not exactly being funny. It's some real shit going down and it's really entertaining. Like seeing Kevin Hart play like an actual serious role. Like it's, he's doing a really good job at it. So it's like, man, you know, this is, I'm liking this. I'm liking what Netflix is doing. And that's basically what I used to go to HBO for. Now I don't really go to HBO for that stuff anymore. Now, obviously when the Game of Thrones like spin-off prequel stuff comes I'll probably end up watching that. I mean, now I'm going to HBO because they get movie theater movies, HBO Max. And even when they don't get the movie theater movies they do get the movies in theaters sometimes like two weeks after they hit theaters. But everyone's different. Everyone, the way they consume is different. I'm just explaining how I consume. If you want to be angry over the price I can be angry over it. I just think Netflix has proven itself enough to me to not really care that I got to spend like an extra five bucks a month. There will be a price when it hits a point that it's not, but that will be because I'm watching Netflix less. And I'd be watching it less because maybe the shows aren't as good anymore. Maybe I'm watching something else more. Like, you know, we watch a lot of movies. A lot of our movie watching has slowly had been happening on Amazon Prime. Like we do watch Netflix movies, but a lot of our movie watching, we've been using basically, Netflix has been in a lot of shows, a lot of movies have been Amazon Prime and HBO Max. We have Disney plus stupid. That's because Disney plus is stupidly cheap and we have children. Like why wouldn't you have Disney plus? It's literally the cheapest streaming service out there. Just get it. If you like the content, of course. Which has benefit to me because I like the Marvel shows. Yeah, HBO Max is a bad girl. Here's the thing. Now you think about like all these subscription services. Oh man, the money all adds up. Yeah, it does. But also, like, people will stop you with cable TV because you know, the streaming service, but look how many streaming services there are. Sure, but I'll say this. Every service I pay for, I get more entertainment out of that service than I ever did with the base cable crap. And the funny thing is I still have the cable stuff because of sports. Damn you, sports. Damn you. But it's okay. I actually don't pay that much for it. It got super cheap in my area so I barely pay anything. I usually have to pay like 150 bucks to get all the TV stuff now. No, it still is in some areas. Here it's not. To get all the sports channels I wanted. Panic on Amazon Prime. Metro Prime One remaster will release the second half of 2022. Rumored. Yep, I know Johnny Hernandez. We already talked about that on the channel. What do you see? The elemental hero of the Shadow Link, Dragon Wolf King says, what do you think, what do you think what's the story? What's the story going to be in Pokemon Legends Arceus? Also I've seen a lot of exciting and interesting info for legends of Arceus from the leaks. So all I can really say is based on what they've, and the official information, I think, I'm not exactly sure what the story is but it feels like the point of the game is like another game is you're documenting Pokemon. But I would say based on my, at least my experience in Pokemon Brilliant Diamond right now that while there's that base, hey, fill out the Pokedex, get information. You know, Professor Rowan wants information. How many of you guys would agree? And then I'm gonna ask you guys because most of you have played more Pokemon than me that the idea of the Pokedex and filling out that Pokedex and gathering information to help the professor, how many would you feel that's really like a main brux of why you play a Pokemon game, right? Like is that like a really main core concept even though it's there? Or is that more like a thing that's just in the background that you don't think about that often? I'm very curious because I think Legends Arceus is rethinking that in a way to make it the emphasis and make it the emphasis in a way that you're gonna care to fill out that Pokedex. You're gonna care to get that additional information and throw the berries in and document like different activities and stuff that the Pokemon do, the different interaction. I think this game is gonna be heavily built around actually documenting and discovering Pokemon. Imagine something that's really been at the fundamental core of Pokemon for a while with the Pokedex and helping out the professors. How about it actually mattering and being the fundamental focus of a game? And the way Legends Arceus is set up makes me feel like, yeah. Like this thing might actually finally mean something tangible that we want to do. No wonder my comments weren't correlating. That's right, Twiggy. I hate being old and seeing all, yeah, you gotta click on like that. If that live button's gray and not red or whatever, yeah, you gotta click on that otherwise, yeah. God, I know that happens sometimes. I'll be watching a stream and I won't even realize I'm behind. And what may be behind? Maybe I tap somewhere, click somewhere. Maybe the stream stopped running for me because I was doing something else. Yeah, that happens sometimes watching live stream. I think what the Pokedex was basically returning to the gotta catch them all model, that preview video of the game was very much needed, at least to me. I firmly believe the best way to play Pokemon is to catch every Pokemon you see and build up a roster. More than six Pokemon you can rotate. Plus your mind are under level. Yours are under level because you strategize. I never tapped it, yeah. So like, I just think they're gonna really focus on, focus in on the Pokedex and the act of discovering and documenting Pokemon. I think it's gonna be the fundamental core of this, which I feel like is a background thing in the other games. Because we're in a world where they need to be discovered and they need to be documented. I don't think we, I've ever felt like in the current Pokemon games that we needed to really document. I think, yeah, gotta catch them all. I understand that. But we're not talking about catching them all. We're talking about actually documenting them and documenting behaviors. That didn't really feel like that's ever been at the core of Pokemon. Or we're, we just don't know anything about these fuckers. So we gotta document, observe, encounter, make them, you know, see what behaviors with different food is like. Like it feels like holy shit, we actually need to document this stuff because nobody knows. Nobody knows. Like this hasn't been done yet. Nobody knows. Let me see here. Ryan C, what's your breath of the wild two theory, buddy? What do you got for me? Hit me. Hit me. Hit me good. Do, do, do, do, do. Da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da. You know, you got to, you got to hit me good. You know that you should. By the way, if all five dollars super chats are up, you can do song requests of any song you want tonight. Streams are already gonna be copyright claimed because of Pokemon. Thanks, Pokemon company. We'll screw it. And we got some shots flowing, man. It's a Friday night. It's Friday night and the feeling's right. It's Friday night. Oh, what a night. Go, go, Brian C.E. Do, do, do, do, do. Like he's a Power Ranger. Charger also says we need to be hit by attacks to see what they do. Like some of our Pokemon will be at Emperor. I'm actually curious. Like it looks like sometimes in the gameplay, like they were intentionally waiting for the Pokemon to attack. And I wonder if that waiting for the Pokemon to attack the trainer is to document and observe behavior. I'm actually wondering if like, yes, they can attack the trainers, but there's also a purpose because we're documenting behavior. And that's gonna be noted in the Pokedex how that Pokemon behaved when the trainer approached them. I'm serious. I really think it's gonna be a fundamental core aspect of the game. If it's not and it's something else cool, but it really feels like that's gonna be a fundamental core aspect of this. It's actually going to be a prequel to Breath of the Wild and retell Skyward Sword stories in Breath of the Wilds world. A prequel to Breath of the Wild, retell Skyward Sword story in Breath of the Wild. That's an interesting theory. I don't think that's gonna happen. I think it's gonna be a direct continuation, but. Hey, never know. Oh, that Nintendo Prime bastard. Go back to your private island. Damn it. Fine. I'll do a shot of kinky just cause I want one. I'm watching you though. Don't even call your mom. I'm thinking Pokemon is trying to change the formula a little bit. I mean, it does look like a formula changer, so that's nice. Yeah, yeah, Charles stood up. My theory that this stuff's gonna matter, the encounters with the trainers and all that, yeah, it was backed up. Like, it's not really even a theory. I'm just kind of like, I'm building out the elements that makes me feel like this is the first game where the Pokedex really is at the center of it, and it's in the center of it in a meaningful way that's actually fun to do. Cause it's not just about catching them all. Anyway, cheers to the MP person. Doesn't he have a private army too? Probably. That's probably why none of you guys have been to his private island, man. It's fully fortified. The rich motherfucker, man. I've never even been invited. I'm related to the fucker, and he's never invited me to that island. I'm really excited and afraid. I'm really excited and afraid. Are ya? Bulbasaur, you're gonna be hit by this water attack. You can do this. Bulbasaur, I choose you. Let's see here. Although the demo could come with the direct in early February, since they planned it about more or less a month before the release of the game, the game release on March 3rd, but Feb 3rd is the day slash. Interesting. God damn it, Nintendo Prime. What even is that? I don't even know what you're saying. What are you, rich, you fuck? Remodel my house. I could use, on your private island out there, with your fortified army. I need some new sighting at my house. Why don't you resize my house first? Spread the wealth. Spread the wealth. You already stole my channel name. Spread the wealth. Pisses me off sometimes. Pisses me off. He's evil. Yeah, right? God, what even is that? That's, back to UV blue shit. All right. What subscription service a person goes for a matter of individual choice? No one's holding the gun to my head, telling me to subscribe to the service. Yeah, yeah, no, yeah. It's all choice, all choice. Whoops. I might have overpoured that shot. No, I'm not gonna pour it back in there because there's been other alcohol. Germs. Well, I guess I'm doing a little bit extra, you fucker. That's what I get for having a double shot last. Honestly, not expecting a proper direct until March, a Pokemon direct. Nice. Do you guys wanna know a piece of content that we might have coming in February? It's a brand new content idea. And this isn't gonna be like, oh, we do this all the time kind of thing. You guys wanna know? You really wanna know? I gotta come up with a name for it still. Well, it's Eric, by the way. And it's not a live stream. So, we are going to be, I don't know if we're ever gonna do another video like this, by the way. This could be a one-off. We're gonna be going on a journey. Not a far journey for us anyways. We're gonna be going on a journey. We're gonna be grabbing our camera. We're gonna take the camera off its stand and pop it, put it on a handheld thing. We're gonna grab our wireless level air mics. We're going out in the wild. We're going hunting. What kind of hunting? Are we hunting for Pokemon? Are we trying to get some meat up in here? Hunting for chicks? I don't know if my fiance would like that. What are we hunting for? We're gonna be going to a handful of local thrift stores and be on the hunt for some retro Nintendo games. Could be games. Could be consoles. And we're gonna go on a journey and try to rebuild the Nintendo Prime Headquarter retro collection. Going on a journey. We're gonna see what happens. What are they charging for us? Is it a great deal? Are we getting scammed? If this is some weird Nintendo branded backpack, what the fuck did this come from? What's the history? We're gonna go on a journey together. Through the thrift store. Looking for Nintendo. See what we can find. We'll see. We'll see what, if anything, we can find. Yeah, that's in the plans. Very different kind of video, of course. That's taking our camera off-site, using our wireless mics, going out in the wild. Making sure it's okay at these stores for us to even film, because you know, they get all, you know, and then I got to decide how do we want to film it? Do I film it where I'm behind the camera and then I'm showing Eric, or Eric's behind the camera, looking at me? You know, do I do the whole vlog style, walking like this? I'm not. We're just gonna kind of figure it out as we go, right? So we'll see what happens. Oh wait, not a retro game expert here. Not even sure if I'm gonna make good deals. I might overpay for stuff. Let's see what happens. Cheers! Can I throw video games? Like a little kid at Nate's place. I mean, I hope that I don't accidentally reveal my address, but you know, things happen. Just have to move. We'll just have to move! Move, move, move. We'll just have to move. Move, move, move. We'll just have to move. Move, move. We'll just just have to move. We'll just just have to move. We'll have to, have to, have to, have to, have to. We'll just have to move. We'll just have to move. We'll just have to. Oh my God, somebody discovered one of my Madden Leagues, whoa! You're big on YouTube, whoa man! Holy crap, are you watching right now? Oh my gosh, I'm not that big on YouTube, come on now. I mean I might be big compared to people who don't know how to grow on YouTube, but I'm not that big guys, I'm not that big. Trust me, I'm not, but I enjoy it, it's fun. I'm just glad nobody, nobody, you know, challenged Nintendo Prime, because God knows he probably hacked my bank account and was super chatting with my own money instead of his, because he's frugal. How do you think he affords his islander's private army? Because he doesn't spend money on anything else. So he challenged someone to top his $10 super chat and I'm like, God damn it, don't empty my bank. I just know it, he has mystical ways to find my card information. Did he hack my phone? All right, time to turn off Apple Pay. Double seven night fair, randomly a few days a week ago, blah, blah, dead space extractions. Yeah, so we'll see what happens with that idea. We're definitely gonna attempt it, we'll see if it, it's got to bear fruit. If it doesn't bear any fruit, then it's gonna be like, that was not worth it. Obviously if it doesn't bear fruit, that was not worth it. Let me see here. There's some other video, different ideas we'll be doing as well. Like it or not, one video content idea that might start popping up on weekends. We'll involve TikTok. I know, don't get mad at me. It's actually kind of a cool idea. No, we're not like going on TikTok and making TikTok videos, but there are some stuff from TikTok we're gonna use to respond and make a certain type of video on YouTube that I think is gonna be a lot of fun. So can't ignore the TikToks huge, right? So we're not going to ignore it. We're gonna go, instead of us making TikTok videos, we're gonna take some of the TikTok videos and make some content around them as well. So there's a bunch of things we're gonna be doing for unique content in addition to our news, videos and all that. I used to school peeps and Madden back in the day. Is the M Classic worth it? Yes, yes, especially for Switch, absolutely. Bam, bam, bam. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. When the commissioner of one of my fantasy leagues didn't realize I was a YouTuber and didn't realize that he was already subscribed to me and just couldn't put two and two together that I am Nintendo Prime. He's like, holy shit, actually I did know about you and I am subscribed to you, what the fuck? Yeah, that's how we do it around here. I'm that sneaky ninja. I do, I mean, other communities doing other things and people don't know who I am. And they finally put two and two together like holy shit. Yeah, I'm a gamer, everybody, a game. I don't just play Switch, I'm in other communities. You just might not know who I am. Um, what are your top 10 Nintendo Switch babes? Babes, babs, babes, I don't know. They asked me to evaluate females on Switch. Are we even allowed to do that these days? Isn't that considered like sexist? I'm just asking, like, isn't that considered the PC thing these days? That's sexist, I can't evaluate even fake characters in that way, you're just not allowed to do that. And then like, what if I say the wrong one and they're under 18 and now suddenly people are gonna have to come up with a predator? It feels like something that I should just not touch with my 10 foot pole and you know what I mean. But it feels like something that I just shouldn't even touch or even broach that topic because I don't know if there's any way that I could do it that's gonna end well for me. You guys might go, oh yeah, that's cool. Oh yeah, I agree. And then it's like, yes, I'm gonna watch it go, what a creep, he's attracted to a video game character. Oh my God, that character is under 18. Oh my God, he's a perv, he's a pedo. Shut the fuck up, I'm getting married this year. Shut the fuck up. And attracted to these freaking fake video game characters guy cares, man. We're not gonna touch that one. Yeah, we had to buy an HDMI converter. We just got a Wii. We got it for free from a friend that my kids have been playing. And yeah, I had to go buy an HDMI converter for it. Cause obviously Wii does, it's composite cable. But we got the cheapest, it was like eight bucks. Wasn't a big deal. Ninja Prime. Yeah. What am I, Danny Lawrence, right? Cobra Kai. Oh, I'm sorry. He's not Cobra Kai anymore. That's the name of the show. But he's not Cobra Kai anymore. Now he's one of the eagle fang, eagle fang. Love that show. I'm a big Cobra Kai fan. I really like that show. It's silly, it's goofy. It's like, the karate kid is honestly was silly and goofy. The funny thing is the fight scenes in Cobra Kai, the show, are better than the fight scenes in the original karate kid, one, two, and three. If you think I'm wrong, go watch the old school fight scenes and then watch the new school fight scenes. The new school fight scenes are so much like more entertaining than the old ones. You'll see what I mean. It just, fighting choreography has come a long way. You have the rocket fish component cable. Is Mario got the Kirby Forgotten Lands correct? Well, since Marco, I mean, Marco Mauro is who you're talking about. Could his game line not be correct? Like Nate The Hate has mentioned his lineup? Yeah, it could be. Marco, we did a video on that last week or the week before on Marco Mauro's stuff. And yeah, Kirby and the Forgotten Land March 25th was a date he said. I don't remember that date being said by anybody else. So to me, I think he's the originating source of that date. And it does make you think about the rest of that Bachelor rumors he dropped and how true it is. Father of Princess and Wind Waker individually or packaged together coming this year. Stuff like that, that he put in with that date. So we'll see. But obviously, check one, he said a specific date that a game is coming out on. That specific date is the day that a game is coming out on. That, I mean, to understand how hard it is to nail something like that. Like people go, oh, it was just a lucky guess. Was it though? You know how hard it is? Like, it's one of them to say, oh yeah, Kirby and the Forgotten Land's coming out in March. Let's come in early March or the second half of March or before the end of March. But to literally say, Kirby and the Forgotten Land's coming on March 25th and just move on and start talking about other stuff. It very much sounds like I'm either making this up on his bullshit or I know something. And then literally not too much longer later, it gets confirmed. It's coming out on March 25th. It's kind of like, wait a second. How did he, did he really get that coincidentally lucky? So if another thing on his list hits, you know, here in the next couple of months, like at a Nintendo drive or something, like another thing from that batch, he put out their hits and it's like, oh shit. Well, then everything else he talked about. We can't just ignore anymore. It's like, let's revisit that shit. Let's revisit it and be like, what else did he say was coming that we ignored? Because when we were going to ignore it, we made a video of what we haven't revisited it because how often do we revisit rumors? Well, you gotta revisit it when there's a batch where some shit starts coming true and it's like, okay, if all the shit was true. We gotta start considering the rest. Strong MI and it's funny too, like people watch the video, it's Marco Amaro, he's fake. I'm like, you just got something right. So like, let's say he hasn't gotten stuff wrong. Of course. I don't know if I had any switchbates, I had to go fictional. I had the hots for Jenny from Bloody Roar. See, I gotta be careful when I say that. I was about to say, oh man, you know, I had the hots for, you know, Jessica Rabbit. But then like, is that even okay to say? And I was like when I was a kid. So I, like, I don't know, man. I'll say a real life people that I have the hots for. I'll tell you that. J-Lo, I don't know what it is about J-Lo. Just something about J-Lo, just was attracted to her when I was a kid and I'm still attracted to her now in her 40s, like shh, no problem, 50s now, 50s now, shh, no problem. Scarlett Johansson, oh geez, what a shocker. Someone was attracted to Scarlett Johansson. Oh no, you know. So yeah, there's a few other others as well, as well, like the Dario, whatever, forget what her first name is. So yeah, like, and whatever, everyone's got their celebrity crushes, you know, not a big deal. And all of mine are well over 18. Don't think I want to get in too much trouble for that stuff. On a scale of one to 10, how hype are you for Kirby and the Forgotten Land? Even that, God, it's really bothered me that I even mentioned the celebrities because somebody's gonna be like, oh, he's so sexist, oh my God. My God, just, can we not? I just know the way the internet works. You can't even compliment a woman based on anything physically. They can say you're handsome, nobody baths an eye. You say they're cute, you say, damn, you look good. Oh, you're beautiful. Oh, you're fucking sexist. Stop looking at my body. You're beautiful. Who told you you can look at my eyes? So dumb. Jessica Rabbit is probably 90 by now. The person who played Jessica Rabbit. Oh, she's a cartoon character, she doesn't age. Scale of one to 10, how hype am I for Kirby and the Forgotten Land? After the most recent trailer, seven. Before it, I was more like a four. Now I'm at a seven. We'll see. My only concern is, is it actually gonna be hard or is it gonna be easy like recent Kirby games? It'll look amazing, but if it's super, super easy, it'll probably just stay at a seven and seven, seven and a half might be around where I would review the game. But if it ends up adding Mario-like difficulty, Mario Odyssey-like difficulty, now we've got something interesting. Obviously we got a judge game-length level design, gameplay, controls, et cetera. So there's a lot of things the judge can get their music. Yeah, right now I'd say my hype levels are about a seven. So I am, as they say, I would say that's hyping responsibly. I would say a seven is hyping responsibly. Because I gotta be prepared for the potential of disappointment. I think once you hit eight, nine, 10, your hype levels are basically way up in the sky and it's easy to be disappointed, solid seven I think is good. I think that's hyping responsibly. And by the way, I'm not saying that I can hype responsibly for everything. I can tell you right now, Breath of the Wild 2, I don't think it's possible for me to hype responsibly for a Zelda game. And I'm trying really hard to hype responsibly for that game and I am struggling. So my hype levels are probably at like a fucking 15 and I know it shouldn't be. I need to find a way to rein that back, rein that in. I just don't know if I can. We all have like that one series, whether it's TV, movies, video games that it's kind of like, we just can't help it. For everything else, I'm trying really hard to hype responsibly. I'm gonna report one Legend's Arceus in Gen 9. We'll see, no idea. Sonic Frontiers. So JP, I can safely say my hype levels for Sonic Frontiers are definitely in check. I'm at a solid six. I like the premise. I like what we saw. We have yet to see gameplay. I cannot go above a six without gameplay. My six is because it's Sonic and I like Sonic and because I like the idea presented. Six. Can't hit seven until I see real honest, the goodness gameplay. Then it can hit seven. For now it's six. I can't be like, oh, I'm super like, I'm expected to be like the greatest Sonic game ever. This, I can't have expectation for something I haven't seen. I have seen CGI, maybe potential world shots. Haven't seen gameplay. Need to see gameplay before I can raise it above a six. And even then without gameplay, six is pretty high. That's my Sonic bias coming in. I like Sonic, so I have a little bit of bias that's gonna bump that hype level up, but it's still not above a six. Six is about as high as I can go for Sonic before gameplay. And then seven usually as high as I go with Sonic in general, because Sonic has a history of kind of let's down. My favorite Sonic game to come out in the last 12 years has been Sonic Lost World. That one lived up to my expectations, but the rest didn't. I mean, even like Sonic Mania, I think Sonic Mania's fantastic, but also I'm not really as into that classic Sonic gameplay as I used to be. So like, I don't know if I grew out of it or if it's just not as enjoyable as it once was or maybe I never enjoyed it as much as I thought I did. But I mean, I played a lot. I spent, I spent, I don't know, like eight hours in Sonic Mania and I just, I had my fill and I was good. You know, I didn't really feel like I needed to beat it. Um, I should buy a few. I mean, they're all different, you know. You know, a lot of people think Sonic colors is, you know, that's why they consider it a good one. Um, more Saturday. All right. Well, I get sad baskets. I can already tell you. Sonic games always lean towards Saturday morning cartoons. So story wise, I mean, if we're just talking story wise, it's a five. I mean, Sonic, Sonic is always aired towards Saturday morning cartoon style stories. So I don't, I look at it like this. When's the last time I played a Sonic game because of the story? It's never happened. When's the last time I played a Mario game because of the story? Never happened. I don't play these games for the story. I play them for the game. Pure unadulterated gameplay is why I play Sonic and why I play Mario. So the story to me, this is one of the few instances where the story, it's important to my enjoyment of the game is very little. To the point that I don't really care if it's a Saturday morning cartoon. I don't care if there's no story. The game plays why am I? So that's kind of like the, I don't hold the story against games like this because I don't think that's the selling point of these games. Which is why I'm actually surprised the Sonic movie was as good as it was because obviously for a movie you got to have a solid story. I feel like they did a pretty good job. I don't think like the Sonic movies like this masterpiece grand movie of all time. But I do think it's pretty good. And to say that about a video game movie means they did a really good job telling a solid story in there that hasn't really existed in the games. I like that. Don't get into the Sonic cycle. We don't need to get into the Sonic cycle. That cycle by the way is like the same cycle for a lot of things. The Bama Hut! You pretty much missed the whole stream because we're about to end. You pretty much missed the whole stream. I'm sorry, but you did. It's okay, my stream also started late today. Again, part of my frustrations today. Had a bit of a rough day with the kiddos. I love the kid. I mean, they weren't here all day. But after school, they were definitely tired and cranky and they just didn't want to get along. Lots of the he said, she said. Oh, he hit me. What do you mean he hit you? And then like dealing with that crap. You know, kids being kids. A bit of a rough day. Time to move on from that, huh? Pizza the Hut! I wanted to call that a stream. I got a few things to wrap up here before I go to Betty Pie. Don't know if I'm gonna have a video tomorrow. I usually only get one video out on the weekends, but we'll see how my schedule works out. I think we're taking the kids snow tubing this weekend as well at some point. So that's gonna eat up a huge chunk of the day because we go to a place that's, it's a decent drive from here. So it pretty much eats up most of the day. So I'm not sure if I'll get any other content out. But I'm gonna try to get at least a video out, especially if there's any breaking news, of course. But you guys are awesome and have a lovely weekend. And if you're a fan of any NFL teams in the playoffs this weekend, you know, good luck to your team. Later, guys. Damn it. Nintendo reconnect. You're not supposed to know where I'm going.
